Chapter 2: The Undercurrent of Alliances (2)
Xiao Xiao has strong suspicions: "I don't think I have that much time and energy. In fact, he was still thinking about the very effective aphrodisiac pill in his heart, what a simple, effective and direct way, both of them ate it, isn't everything over; only Yunju is stupid and straight-headed, and he won't turn at all; isn't it just two aphrodisiac pills, just find a chance to steal them back."
He watched Qi Beizai carefully hide the pill and decided to do it while he was asleep.
With Xu Yi's efforts, Qi Bei and Xiao Sha finally got permission from the Star Tower Lord to climb the tower. That night, the two stood in front of the banner array. In the night, the Star Tower stands tall and is located in the middle of the array of flags.
"Not only Master, but also Master Taishi, waiting in the Star Tower...... Golden Crow Divine Envoy. Xu Yi made a simple gesture of invitation.
Finally, it was time for the Wind Landing City Lord and the Star Tower Lord to officially meet the Golden Crow Divine Envoy, and it stands to reason that this should be an occasion full of joy, after all, the Golden Crow Divine Envoy is here to help the Wind Landing City tide over the difficulties. Judging from Xu Yi's face, he was not happy, but worried, and seemed to have something unspoken.
There were no lights around the flags, and everything was soaked in endless darkness.
Qi Bei subconsciously swallowed his throat and tried to lift his spirits.
Therefore, it can be roughly inferred that Xuan Chen and Master Taishi have a strange attitude towards this.
Xiao Sha hates to see others snubbing Qi Bei the most, so he specially picks on Xu Yi, pretending to put on a shelf, and said sarcastically: "The Golden Crow God Envoy came to Fenglin City on behalf of the Golden Crow God, and the Taishi Master who has a lot of opportunities finally found the time to come out to meet, it's really not easy." ”
Xu Yi was silent. Qi Bei didn't feel any haze, he was kind-hearted, and quietly persuaded Xiao Sha: "Don't blame him, maybe Master Taishi and the Star Tower Lord are really busy." It's nice to see you today. ”
Xiao Shattered His mouth: "You showed your identity as the Golden Crow Divine Envoy and came to Fenglin City, Master Taishi should put down all his official duties and come to see you in person." It's good now, but I want you to come to Taishi Mansion to climb the Star Tower. His shelves are big enough. ”
Qi Bei smiled and continued to express his understanding: "Don't say that, he is the lord of one of the Jiuding countries, and I just ......"
Xiao Sha immediately pinched him and reminded: "I told you 86,000 times to be confident, you are no longer the Qibei of the Hundred Opera Troupe." Master Taishi will come to his knees and kowtow to you. ”
Qi Bei shrunk his neck, but he didn't dare to accept the big gift from one of the nine lords: "Does Master Taishi also want to worship Yunju?" In fact, the title of the Golden Crow Divine Envoy was come up with by ourselves. ”
Xiao Sha shook his head: "In my opinion, Yunju's mission is to find the Golden Crow God, and you are still helping Fenglin City deal with the prophecy of Baiyu entering the city, which is the great savior of Fenglin, can't you deserve the title of 'Divine Messenger'? I know that in this matter, we can't help the seedlings, so let's take our time. However, tonight we are facing the Wind Landing City Lord and the Golden Crow Envoy, so you must not have any doubts about your identity as the 'Golden Crow Divine Envoy'. ”
Qi Bei sighed: "In case they ask me about something I can't answer, such as the matter of the Golden Crow God, then you have to help me answer." ”
"Definitely, just listen to me then. Xiao Xiao nodded confidently. He squatted down and looked at the hanging banner painted with all kinds of anti-ghost and anti-spirit characters, presumably all from the hand of the Star Tower Lord, once a monster approached, the banner was the first powerful line of defense.
"So this is the Banner Formation. ”
The banner array, the first line of defense guarding the Star Tower, ordinary monsters and people who should not be stepped on are all blocked, for example, Gongzi's kind of person who has to break through is thrown directly into the sky and smashed him to pieces.
The Star Tower opened eight doors in all directions, and the Taishi Master and the five disciples of the Star Tower entered through the designated door, which means that everyone entered from the same entrance of the Banner Array in time, but they couldn't walk a few steps, they had to be separated by the infinitely changing Banner Array, and each went in their own direction and ran their own way.
Xu Yi reminded Qi Bei and Xiao Xiao that the so-called method of dispersing the crowd on different roads and finally ascending the tower from one of the eight gates was to answer the questions on the banner.
The design of the questions in the banner array is very ingenious, because Xuan Chen classifies and teaches the five disciples, each person makes different answers, therefore, the arranger of the banner array, that is, Xuan Chen, the master of the Star Tower, can not only find out the identity of the entrant according to the answer, but also be able to investigate the schoolwork review of Xu Yi and the other five people. In the end, under the invisible guidance of the Lord of the Star Tower, the same door entered but went by different paths, and only those who followed Xuan Chen's guidance and met the requirements were eligible to climb the tower to visit.
Qi Bei swallowed his throat. I have long heard Xiao Xiao say that the layout of the flag array is ingenious, and I saw it with my own eyes today, and it is true. Thinking about it for a while, he had to answer Xuan Chen's questions at each level, he was afraid of the exam, and his head began to swell.
Xiao Xiao was even more dissatisfied, and complained: "The main shelf of the Star Tower is so big, even the Golden Crow Divine Envoy has to pass the Banner Array in one pass? It's too troublesome." Why can't we remove the flag array and go straight to the tower?"
Xu Yifu smiled and prevaricated: "Master has always had this convention, and he can only be wronged by the Golden Crow Divine Envoy who also complied with it." ”
Xiao Sha once again noticed Xu Yi's desire to speak and stopped, and simply expressed his doubts for him.
"According to reason, the Golden Crow Divine Envoy is coming, shouldn't Xuan Chen bring Master Taishi to see them? Why did he let Qi Bei come to see them in person? This is obviously an obstacle. Since the arrival of the Golden Crow Divine Envoy, the whole city has been quite a sensation, but there has been no movement in the Taishi Mansion and the Star Tower. At the Hundred Flowers Conference, Master Taishi just went through the motions to introduce a few sentences, and he didn't come to see Qibei. Qibei was poisoned, and Taishi Mansion didn't have any greetings. What position did you put Qibei in? Now that the two of us have come to the Star Tower in person, not to mention, we have to pass through the tower and climb the tower. Xu Yi, I asked directly, don't the city lord and the star tower lord want to see us at all?"
Xu Yi was punctured and couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to stop, and while apologizing to Qi Bei and Xiao Xiaxing, he tentatively probed with a nervous face: "This time the Golden Crow Divine Envoy is coming to the wind and the city, is it coming to succeed the new city lord?"
Qi Bei and Xiao Sha were both surprised: "No. ”
"Did you ask Master and Master Taishi about their sins?"
"No, no, no. Qi Bei gradually understood that there must be a misunderstanding in this, and was about to explain that he was not here to blame Master Taishi or Xuan Chen, Xiao Xiao stepped forward first and asked Xu Yi: "The succession of the city lord of Fenglin has always been after the old city lord dies. What is the crime of Master Taishi and the Lord of the Star Tower? Could it be that the crime is heinous, and the new city lord must be replaced? You can tell me first. ”
