Chapter 279: The Battle of the Book King
Late at night, the Valley of Despair.
The moonlight was like water, and a bonfire was burning on the shore of the lake in the valley, and Liu Xing and Xiaolongnu were sitting together, eating a pot of boiled live fish.
This is a parting feast.
The antidote to the Three Corpses Brain Divine Pill has been settled, and Liu Xing is ready to leave the world of "The Condor Heroes" tonight and return to Huaxia.
"The taste of this boiled fish is a bit light. ”
"Yes, I'm just right! Why don't I add some spices?"
"No, I've eaten almost. ”
Liu Xing wiped his mouth and said, "After I leave, don't enter the "Zhu Xian" for the time being, in case you fall into a coma again, no one can beg you." In short, you stay in the Valley of Despair, don't act rashly, and I'll talk about everything when I come back. ”
Xiaolongnu smiled: "You don't have to tell me so much, I'm not a three-year-old child." ”
Looking at the sky, Liu Xing said: "It's almost time, I should go, you can do it." ”
"Hmm. After speaking, the little dragon girl took out a white pill from her arms, this pill is called the Ice Soul Pill, it is very similar to the Turtle Breath Pill, it can slow down people's metabolism to a state where they almost stop.
As long as Liu Xing takes the Ice Soul Pill, he will lose consciousness, and at that time, he will become a vegetative person in the real world, and Hua Yingxue will use music to wake up Liu Xing.
In this way, Liu Xing will be able to return to Huaxia Kingdom.
Xiaolongnu put the Ice Soul Pill into a jar of daughter red, shook it, then handed the wine to Liu Xing, and said with a smile: "Black Shadow Man, I have already made the poison, you can drink this wine." ”
Liu Xing took his daughter Hong, glanced at it, and asked, "Half a year ago, Yang Guo was in a coma after taking the Ice Soul Pill, right?"
Xiaolongnu nodded: "Don't worry, there will be no pain, after drinking, you will faint immediately." ”
"Okay. Liu Xing brought his daughter's red drink to his lips and was about to drink it, when he suddenly stopped and said. "Am I really leaving?"
The little dragon girl smiled: "I know, you can go with peace of mind!"
Liu Xing picked up his drugged daughter Hong, and drank it with a bang, and the wine had just entered his stomach. The drug immediately attacked, and I only felt dizzy in front of my eyes, and my consciousness gradually blurred.
After a short time, Liu Xing passed out and lay on the ground. His body temperature dropped dramatically, as if he was frozen in ice, and he lost any consciousness.
"Shadow Man?"
The little dragon girl called a few times, but Liu Xing remained motionless and did not react.
"He should return to Huaxia Kingdom, right?"
After Liu Xing fell unconscious, the valley suddenly fell silent.
The little dragon girl sat alone by the lake, her chin was lightly supported by her little hands, and she looked at the lake in front of her in a daze.
She had lived in the world of "The Condor Heroes" for many years and was used to living alone, and the appearance of the Black Shadow Man was an unexpected surprise.
The past six months. She gets along with the Black Shadow Man day and night, and now that the Black Shadow Man is suddenly gone again, she is a little unaccustomed to it.
Raising her head, the little dragon girl's gaze fell on the dark blue night sky.
"Will the Shadow Man really come back?"
……
The real world, the secret room of the king of books.
Liu Xing lay quietly on the floor, motionless, he had become a vegetative person.
Hua Yingxue, who was waiting on the side, immediately took the jade flute and played the "Pure Heart Pushan Mantra", and when the song was played, Liu Xing gradually regained consciousness. Success was awakened.
Opening his eyes, Liu Xing sat up and looked around: "How long have I been in my trance?"
"About eighteen hours. Hua Yingxue asked with concern, "Black Shadow Man." Have you found the Soul Fairy?"
Liu Xing nodded: "The Soul Burial Fairy really fell into the little dragon girl in "The Condor Heroes", but unfortunately, she has been in the mind of many other novels before, so she can't come back for the time being." ”
Hua Yingxue asked, "Then what now?"
Liu Xing said: "The Soul Burial Fairy used to write a diary back then, and I need to find this diary now......
As he spoke. There was a strange noise from the secret room next door.
Liu Xing walked into the secret room next door, only to see Yuxin holding a white bath towel, scrubbing the wet hair of the Soul Burial Fairy.
At this time, the Soul Burial Fairy was still unconscious and couldn't take care of herself, and Yuxin had just given her another bath and changed into new clothes.
"Yuxin. ”
"Huh?" Yuxin looked up and found that the shadow man had entered the secret room, "You're back?"
"I just met the Soul Fairy in the world of The Condor Heroes. Liu Xing introduced, "She has two sentences for me to convey to you." ”
Yuxin frowned slightly: "What words?"
Liu Xing said: "The Soul Burial Fairy said that I thank you very much for helping her bathe and change her clothes every week. She told you not to be too tired, to pay attention to rest, and when she returns to Huaxia in the future, she will definitely invite you to coffee. ”
Yuxin smiled: "You made it up yourself, right?"
"I'm so smart, I can't fool you. Liu Xing said, "The Soul Burial Fairy actually wants to invite you to drink honey. ”
Yuxin smiled lightly again.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I've got something to go out for. ”
"Hmm. ”
……
After leaving the Book King's secret room, Liu Xing immediately did two things.
The first thing is that Liu Xing, in the name of the Reading Alliance, publicized the information about the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill in major media across the country, and introduced the harm of the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill in detail, so as to remind the general public to be vigilant and avoid eating it by mistake.
The second thing is that Liu Xing set up a scientific research team to conduct research on the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill. There are more than 2,000 people in the research group, bringing together experts in more than 30 fields such as medicine, brain, biology, reading, and musicology.
The stakes of this research project were so high that it was not made public to the outside world, but was carried out in secret.
At the same time, more than 100 celebrities who were kidnapped before had taken the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill, so they cooperated with the experts of the scientific research team to carry out relevant scientific research work on music and the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill.
After doing these two things, Liu Xing left Tianhai City and went to Lezhou City in southern China, preparing to find the diary that the Soul Burial Fairy had written before.
If you can find this diary, you may find a way to awaken the Soul Fairy.
According to Xiaolongnu's recollections, this diary should be hidden in the four novel academies of "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting".
The four major novel schools of "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting" were all founded by the Soul Fairy, and they are the highest schools of consciousness.
They are: Broken Qin Novel Academy, Confessional Chess Novel Academy, Book Burning Novel Academy, and Sacrificial Picture Novel Academy.
Among the four novel academies, the Broken Qin Novel Academy was the place where the Buried Soul Fairy lived the longest back then, so Liu Xing was ready to start from the Broken Qin Novel Academy......
……
Lezhou City, Broken Qin Novel College.
In the conference room of the Music Building, there were more than 40 people, most of whom were over seventy years old. They were the most powerful men in southern China.
Among them, he includes the deans of the four major novel academies of "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting", members of the Southern Council of the Reading Alliance, the president of the Southern Chinese Writers Association, and the president of the Book Appreciation Association.
They had gathered tonight to discuss the issue of the new book king in the south.
A few months ago, the news of the disappearance of the four great book kings at the same time had spread in Huaxia Kingdom. The disappearance of the Soul Burial Fairy was also known to scholars in southern China.
Dragons can't be without a head.
Now that the Soul Burial Fairy has disappeared, the election of the new book king has become the most concerned thing for readers in southern China.
It's a pity that the position of the king of books is too dazzling, and many people are eyeing it.
Everyone met and discussed together for most of the day, but it was still difficult to reach an agreement.
"The Reading Alliance has always had clear rules for the election of the Book King. Cao Shuxiong, the dean of the School of Book Burning Novels, said. "As long as you win the first prize in the novel competition, you automatically become a candidate for the title of king of books. ”
Southern China also has its own novel contest called the "Burial Soul Cup" Novel Contest, which is the highest level of the school of consciousness and is held every two years, and has been held 20 times so far.
The winners of the Burial Soul Cup Novel Contest are all eligible to run for the Book King, so South China currently has 20 candidates for the Book King.
"Now that there are already 20 candidates for the king of books, we can vote. Cao Shuxiong said. "Whoever has the most votes will be elected king of books. ”
"Dean Cao's method is the fairest. ”
"I agree with Lao Cao's proposal. ”
……
More than a dozen council members have expressed their views and supported Cao Shuxiong's approach, most of whom have received Cao Shuxiong's favor, and are basically from one faction.
Cao Shuxiong is not only the dean of the School of Burning Novels, but also won the championship of the second "Burial Soul Cup" Novel Competition, and still holds the record of the youngest champion of the novel competition.
Since more than 30 years ago, Cao Shuxiong has been considered the most powerful successor of the Book King.
Now that the Soul Fairy is missing, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Cao Shuxiong.
"I think the matter of the king of books should be considered in the long run. At this time, Tong Jiuxian, the dean of the Broken Qin Novel Academy, put forward a different opinion. "Whether the Soul Burial Fairy is really missing or not, it is still uncertain. It is imperative that we first find a way to find the Soul Burial Fairy, rather than rushing to elect the new Book King. ”
Cao Shuxiong retorted: "It's been more than two months. Haven't we been looking for the Soul Burial Book King? Unfortunately, nothing has been found so far, and the disappearance is already true. ”
A council member agreed, "The Soul Burial Fairy hasn't appeared for many years, so maybe it's long gone. The election of a new book king is imminent and cannot be delayed any longer. ”
"It's okay to elect a new book king, but one condition must be met first. Tong Jiuxian's voice sank. solemnly reminded, "The Soul Burial Fairy once made a rule back then, if you want to inherit the throne of the Book King, you need to enter the Soul Burial Palace first. Let me ask, who of you here dares to enter the Soul Burial Palace?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and the entire conference room was suddenly silent.
Hearing the words "Soul Burial Palace", many people showed fear on their faces.
The Burial Soul Palace is set up in the underground secret room of the library of the Broken Qin Novel Academy, and its status is equivalent to the secret room of the Book King of the Yufeng Novel Academy.
The Burial Soul Palace is the place where the Burial Soul Fairy used to live, and it is extremely mysterious and few people can enter it.
Forty years ago, the Soul Burial Fairy had made a strange rule that only those who could survive the Soul Burial Palace were eligible to inherit the throne of the Book King.
Forty years have passed, and no one has dared to enter the Soul Burial Palace, even after learning that the Soul Burial Fairy is missing, no one still dares to take half a step closer to the Soul Burial Palace.
Because there are many frightening rumors circulating in the Soul Burial Palace.
"Dean Tong, according to what you say, if no one dares to enter the Burial Soul Palace, will we never elect the Book King?" Cao Shuxiong asked.
Tong Jiuxian defended: "The Soul Burial Fairy set this rule back then, so naturally she has a reason. In short, whoever dares to enter the Burial Soul Palace, I, Tong Jiuxian, will support whoever is the king of books. ”
Cao Shuxiong asked rhetorically: "Dean Tong, the Burial Soul Palace is set up in the Broken Qin Novel Academy, you don't want to get the moon first near the water building, right?"
Tong Jiuxian choked and said, "Old Cao, if you are not convinced. You can enter the Soul Burial Palace first. If you can come out of the Soul Burial Palace alive, I will be the first to approve of you being the king of books, how about it?"
Cao Shuxiong's face turned pale, and a cloud of anger rose in his heart. But he didn't dare to agree.
Tong Jiuxian followed the words and said: "Since no one dares to enter the Burial Soul Palace, the election of the Book King can only be considered in the long run......"
Cao Shuxiong interrupted in a cold voice: "The King of Books is related to the fate of hundreds of millions of scholars in the eight southern provinces, how can it be delayed again and again? This matter should be decided by everyone's vote!" Looking at everyone, "Do you think so?"
"Lao Cao is right, the new book king should be elected!"
"I support voting!"
"The Burial Soul Palace was a rule forty years ago. We don't have to stick to it. Rules are dead, people are alive. ”
"Well said!"
……
Again, the crowd voiced their opinions.
Sou!
Suddenly, a black shadow flew into the conference room, like black lightning, streaked through the air.
When everyone reacted, they found that a man dressed in black was already standing in the center of the conference room.
"Black ...... Shadow Man?"
Seeing this scene, more than 40 people on the scene stood up one after another, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Although the Black Shadow Man is the Book King in Eastern China, the Book King is the supreme leader of the Reading Alliance, in terms of position. He is also the boss of everyone here.
"You're the Shadow Book King?"
Tong Jiuxian, the dean of the Broken Qin Novel Academy, stepped forward and asked tentatively.
Liu Xing touched it into his arms and took out a black book card, this is a special book king card, there is only one in the entire Huaxia Kingdom, it is the document of the black shadow man.
Ever since someone pretended to be the Shadow Man a few months ago, the Reading Alliance has made a Book King card for the Shadow Man so that others can identify him.
Tong Jiuxian stepped forward and looked carefully at the black book king card in Liu Xing's hand, only to see eight anti-counterfeiting purple lights flashing on the card. It is like a diamond crystal card with special effects, dazzling and dazzling.
"It's really the Shadow Book King!"
Tong Jiuxian said happily.
After confirming the identity of the black shadow man, more than forty people in the conference room hurriedly saluted Liu Xing. A member of the council also took the initiative to bring Liu Xing a high-end chair.
"Everybody sit down, don't be inhibited. Liu Xing waved his hand, and everyone returned to their seats.
"Black Shadow Book King, why did you come to Lezhou City?" Cao Shuxiong asked strangely.
Liu Xingdao: "I came here today mainly to tell you something, the Soul Burial Fairy has been found, and she is safe and sound." You don't have to worry. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly shocked.
Cao Shuxiong was skeptical: "The Soul Burial Fairy has really been found?"
Liu Xing introduced: "I just met with the Soul Fairy yesterday, she lives very well, we also ate a pot of boiled fish together by the lake in the valley last night, and drank two cups of century-old wine Daughter Hong, which tastes good......
"......" the crowd.
Tong Jiuxian's face was overjoyed, and he asked, "Black Shadow Book King, where is the Soul Burial Fairy now?"
"She has some important things to do at the moment, and she can't come back for the time being. Liu Xing said, "As for the matter of the new book king, she has her own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
Hearing this, Cao Shuxiong's face turned green all of a sudden.
"It's really good, it's good that the Soul Burial Book King is fine!" Tong Jiuxian breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully to Liu Xing, "Black Shadow Book King, thank you for telling us this good news from thousands of miles away. It's rare for you to come to the Broken Qin Novel Academy once, and I'll have someone prepare a banquet now......"
Liu Xing waved his hand: "The banquet is exempt, I have one more thing to do today, the Burial Soul Fairy asked me to pick up something, and this thing will be placed in the Burial Soul Palace." ”
After a pause, Liu Xing turned his mouth and asked Tong Jiuxian, "Dean Tong, where is this Soul Burial Palace, please show me the way." ”
The faces of the crowd were shocked.
Tong Jiuxian was also stunned for a moment, and cautiously confirmed: "Black Shadow Book King, do you really want to enter the Soul Burial Palace?"
"yes, I'm going to go in and get something. Liu Xing asked, "Dean Tong, are you free tonight?"
Tong Jiuxian reminded: "Black Shadow Book King, this Burial Soul Palace is unpredictable, after entering, nine deaths and one life ......"
Liu Xing soothed: "Don't worry, you only need to be responsible for leading the way, and I will go in by myself." ”
