Holding this large pen in his hand, he felt that the pen shaft was hard and cold, and it turned out to be cast of solid steel, and it was very heavy. And the pen that looks like a silver thread is actually very soft, and when you shake it gently, it will scatter like dust.

On the round steel pen barrel, the three words "Xiaolan pen" are engraved with ancient seals, and the text is full of soul power. As soon as Huo Zongtang's mind moved, the spiritual energy in his body was injected into the pen unimpeded, and the incomparably soft silver pen stood up like a steel needle in an instant!

Huo Zongtang couldn't help but praise: "The passage of soul power is unhindered, the pen and the mind are connected, it is like an arm and a finger to use, a good pen!" ”

There is also a note about this pen in the chest:

Xiaolan pen (copy): Xiaolan pen is the treasure of the study used by Ji Xiaolan when compiling the "Four Libraries Quanshu", accompanied by Ji Xiaolan throughout his life, with a hundred years of literary brilliance and soul power accumulation, which can maximize the effect of calligraphy and spiritual runes.

In addition, it can also be used as a fighting weapon, and the soul power is infused into it, which can be used as a short gun, a big knife, a dust, etc.

This pen is a copy of Xiaolan pen, provided by the Ji Xiaolan family, made by the contemporary pen master Shi Qingpeng, with one-third of the effect of the genuine product, and the stationery grade is second-class, suitable for the use of bachelor's degree or below.

Huo Zongtang gathered his soul power on the stroke of the pen, and with a light touch in the air, he wrote the first ink dot character of the three pictures of Qisheng. I only heard a loud bang, and the iron pillar in front of me seemed to have been hit by a boulder, and it was sunken.

Huo Zongtang breathed a long sigh of relief, barely suppressing the excitement in his heart.

His spiritual rune with this Xiaolan pen really has a feeling of a good saddle and a good horse. If he had gotten this pen earlier, how could Yasumasa Fukushima be as arrogant as he had just now!

He walked out of the dark room with Xiaolan's pen, and the rest of the people who were searching separately also gathered.

Everyone has something to gain. Zhu Bajiao found two black stone bricks. But this long stone brick is obviously not an ordinary stone, because it contains a strong ink fragrance, like a hundred years of ink essence, all concentrated into this stone.

When Zhu Bajiao saw Huo Zongtang, his expression was still very excited.

After listening to his introduction, Huo Zongtang knew that this black stone was also a treasure, and its name was Qianlong Mo. As the name suggests, this stone turned out to be the ink stone used by Emperor Qianlong. As long as the pen touches the surface of the stone, the ink essence will moisten the pen by itself.

The words written in Qianlong ink have the texture of gold and iron, and when written with soul power, they can exert 150 percent of their spiritual energy.

In addition, the power of mind is injected into Qianlong ink, and the ink in it can be changed according to the mind, and can be used as a weapon for literary fighting.

Of course, this piece of Qianlong ink is not genuine, it is a replica made by later generations. However, because it is from the hands of a famous artist, it is also a second-class stationery.

Huo Zongtang was also happy for Zhu Bajiao. This Qianlong ink and Xiaolan pen are a perfect match, and there may be some use in the later exams.

In addition, Wan Guiying found two dragon tail inkstones, which were also second-level stationery. The use of this dragon tail inkstone is excellent for ink and ink, and can give full play to the effect of pen and ink.

In addition, this inkstone is as heavy as iron, and it contains ancient mud and stone and earth essence, which can enhance and solidify the soul defense when held in the hand.

Ye Qingwu found two rolls of Kangxi paper, both of which were second-level stationery. This kind of paper is as thin as a cicada's wings, and has an excellent soul affinity, which is convenient for writing spiritual runes, and can even retain soul power for a hundred years.

Kangxi paper also has the effect of enhancing the activity of the soul. Holding a roll of Kangxi paper in your hand, the soul coverage can be doubled.

In this way, the four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study are all together. Among them, Qianlong ink, Longwei inkstone, and Kangxi paper are all double, but there is only one Xiaolan pen. Fortunately, the total number is exactly seven, and one for each of the seven people, which is just enough for points.

Huo Zongtang scratched his head and said with some distress: "In addition to finding the treasure, is there anything else to find?" After all, our real purpose is to find clues. ”

Wan Guiying immediately replied, "Yes." I found an old eunuch with his hands and feet tied. This old eunuch is the head of the imperial study, and he is very familiar with the utensils here. ”

Huo Zongtang immediately gave her a thumbs up: "Great, this is really helpful!" Let's go, ask to go! ”

Wan Guiying took everyone to the place where the old eunuch was imprisoned.

After asking, I learned that the old eunuch had been in charge of the imperial study for decades, and all the important objects were well understood. Huo Zongtang asked him to check around to see if any valuables were missing.

The old eunuch quickly reported: "A Xiaolan pen, two dragon tail inkstones, two rolls of treasure paper used by Lord Kangxi, and two pieces of treasure ink used by Lord Qianlong are missing. ”

The four of them looked at each other, and there was a black line at one end.

"It's not that you should look for these, and then look for them!"

The old eunuch hunched his back again and hurried to look for it.

Zhu Bajiao's face was depressed. "Grass, why are these mechanical puppets so blind, don't they treat us as thieves!" He said it with a straight face, and he didn't think he was actually a thief at all.

Soon, the old eunuch returned.

"It's amazing, it's terrible, the heavy treasure in the imperial study - the Heavenly Seal is gone!"

"Sacrifice the Heavenly Seal!?" Huo Zongtang and the others glanced at each other and asked in unison: "Sacrifice to the Heavenly Seal, what is this?" ”

The old eunuch told them that the seal of the heavenly sacrifice was used to activate the great seal of the Temple of Heaven during the royal ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens.

Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has the belief of "respecting heaven and ancestors", and in the eyes of the ancestors, heaven and earth nurture all living beings and are the supreme gods.

Worship to heaven is the most solemn, solemn and sacred sacrificial ceremony of the Chinese nation, usually sponsored by the royal family, presided over by the "Son of Heaven", that is, the emperor himself.

The emperors of previous dynasties sacrificed to heaven with multiple meanings. It can not only express the gratitude of the people of the world to Haotian for nourishing and nurturing all things, but also report to the heavens for great achievements and pray for the emperor to bless all people. In addition, if there was a major event in the imperial dynasty, the news could be quickly spread beyond the four seas and within Kyushu through the Temple of Heaven.

The Temple of Heaven where the Heaven Worship is located is a royal altar with magical powers. It is said that when worshipping the sky, the Temple of Heaven can use the power of Haotian to magnify the spiritual and soul power by ten million times, and reach all parts of the world. Therefore, in all dynasties, the mound or the Temple of Heaven that worships the sky is the important treasure of the country, and it must be sealed and locked by Dafa.

The Heavenly Seal is such a great seal that blocks and controls the power of the Temple of Heaven, and it is often controlled by the emperor.

Now, the most important sacrificial seal in the Imperial Study is missing, what does this mean!?

Huo Zongtang and the four of them glanced at each other, and they all had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Let's go, go to the Temple of Heaven immediately!" Huo Zongtang pulled the old eunuch and walked out of the imperial study first.

Just when Huo Zongtang and the others rushed to the Temple of Heaven non-stop, Bai Xiaolong, Liu Qingqing, and Xue Zhixin also came to the base camp of the three major forces.

The three-day exam time has reached the evening of the second day, and the battle on the three main battlefields has reached the most white-hot, fierce, and stalemate.

The Boxers had opened a gap outside the embassy area, and the coalition forces retreated, and the two sides entered street battles with red bayonets. Often a room, an alley, or a building will become the most fierce battlefield, and it is difficult to completely fight for it without experiencing several changes of hands and paying the price of dozens of lives.

The embassy area was encroached upon little by little by the Boxers, but the coalition reinforcements in the rear were also pressing forward step by step. From a strategic point of view, the Boxers who suffered from the enemy were actually not optimistic.

Fierce fighting, heavy casualties on both sides. On the Boxer side, even the eighteen kui under Yang Xiyin were also lost by one-third.

Fortunately, the casualties on the side of the Eight-Nation Coalition appear to be more serious. Looking at the total number of people alone, there were about 100,000 people on the Boxer side, and only 60,000 or 70,000 people left on the coalition side.

Therefore, Yang Xiyin is more and more confident in the final victory of the battle. He was convinced that over time, the situation would be more favorable to the Boxer side. According to the current situation, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, all the embassy districts will fall into the hands of the Boxers, and at that time, the coalition forces will only be defeated!

At this time, Xue Zhixin came to the door with top-secret and urgent information.

Yang Xiyin sat in the embassy of the British Empire, which had just been occupied, and received her. The embassy was lavishly decorated, resembling a small royal palace. Yang Xiyin sat on the seat as noble as the throne and looked at Xue Zhixin from above.

At the bottom of the steps, Eighteen Kui and his close guards lined up in two columns, and the pomp was very large.

Xue Zhixin had some illusions in a trance, feeling like he was meeting the emperor.

"Emperor Guangxu was robbed? Will the Temple of Heaven change? Also, Yasumasa Fukushima, who is my enemy, is just a shadow samurai? ”

Yang Xiyin looked at Xue Zhixin with a smile, the smile on his face was calm, but no one could tell what he was thinking.

Xue Zhixin said, "That's right. We suspect that the three commanders of the Eight-Nation Coalition have a shocking conspiracy, so we hope that all forces can put aside their differences, discuss together strategies against the enemy, and work together to help the country in distress. ”

"Which side do you represent?"

"We ...... We belong to a fourth faction called League of Legends. ”

Yang Xiyin half-leaned out and looked at his subordinates under the steps. "League of Legends? What a mighty name. Guys, when our brothers were fighting to the death on the battlefield, have you ever seen any bullshit League of Legends do your best? League of Legends ...... What are you? ”

There was a scornful laugh from the bottom of the steps.

Yang Xiyin asked Xue Zhixin again: "Who is your leader?" I'm curious about who is so arrogant and arrogant that he actually put on the posture of an alliance leader and wants to invite me, Su Moyang, and Huang Qijun to discuss major matters together. ”

Xue Zhixin said: "His name is Huo Zongtang. We just had a ...... with the real Fukushima Yasuma."

Yang Xiyin suddenly interrupted her with a sneer: "Huo Zongtang!?" Who is he? What kind of thing is he!? What kind of fourth force, what kind of big things to discuss together, I want to ask, in front of those of us who each lead hundreds of thousands of elites, is he qualified? Is he embarrassed to open this mouth? A broken student from a small broken place, his face is simply thick and lawless! ”

Xue Zhixin had a very annoyed look on his face. "Yang Xiyin, is the success or failure of the entire battle situation important, or is it more important to compare whose status is high?"

Yang Xiyin waved his hand and said: "Speaking of the battle situation, the battle situation of our Boxers is very favorable, so I won't worry about you few big heroes who are worried about the sky." Drop-off! ”

"But...... In case Emperor Guangxu has really been kidnapped by Fukushima Yasumasa, the mission of your Boxers will also be greatly affected! ”

"I have absolute confidence in the final victory of the Boxers."

Xue Zhixin finally had nothing to say. Before leaving, she said to Yang Xiyin hatefully: "When you meet someone like you, you have nothing to say!" At the end of the day, you're just not willing to give up what little power you have! The survival of the country is nothing to you! Hmph, I'm so glad that this is just an exam, not real history! ”

Yang Xiyin's face changed slightly, but his expression still did not change much. He smiled and made a "please leave" pose. "I'm just as glad for you. If it's not an exam, you don't want to leave alive. ”

Xue Zhixin walked out without looking back.

――――――

Yesterday, I searched my own books...... The screen is full of stolen posts. In the last one, even the names of the netizens I thanked for voting for monthly tickets and rewarding were forwarded word for word.

Seeing that the average order of this book has dropped from 1,000 to 1,000 and then to 900, and now it is still falling, I want to ask: Looking at the stolen post, do you want to force the author to be a eunuch to feel at ease?

If you can see this for those who read the stolen posts, please spend a few cents more every day to support the genuine version.

Please.

No matter how cheap the labor force is, the person who writes the book still has to eat. Everyone is born with a mother, and it is not easy for anyone to earn back a little hard-earned money. Spend so much time and so much energy every day to code it out word by word, and then open the background to see, it really feels like a dog...... Empathy, is that okay? (To be continued.) )
