Chapter 3: The Theory of Prohibition
The collapse of the hall was even worse than Zilong had imagined, with blood stains on the broken walls, and the faint wails became clear as he approached. { 81 (
Zilong stepped on the wreckage with both feet, and came to the side of a few people in a few vertical leaps, and when Zi Lanqi and Zi Lanqi, Zi Qianhua and the others saw Zilong, the tense solemnity on their faces suddenly relaxed, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
"You ......" Gu Xishui's words stopped abruptly when he saw the purple dragon on Zilong's chest, and a rare stunned expression appeared on his face, and his cold face shattered. Zilong looked at the others again, and now he had always been steady, and Zi Lanqi was not much better, his lips trembled and his body trembled excitedly.
"How are you doing?" The somewhat awkward atmosphere made Zilong's body uncomfortable, and he quickly changed the topic to bring a few people back to their senses, although he had already seen from them that they were not in serious trouble.
"Thank you for your concern, we are only slightly injured, but Your Excellency needs a good rest. Tong Yantian has been seriously injured and unconscious, so we can take care of the rest. Zi Lanqi's respectful tone sounded very rusty, and Zi Longdun felt that the relationship between the several people seemed to have become estranged.
"Elder Zi, don't be so polite, aren't we friends, let you clean up the mess, and I sleep there won't make me lose my life?" Zilong said with a smile.
Hearing Zilong's words, Zilan Qiton felt warm, in fact, he had already regarded Zilong as his own person after getting along for a period of time, and now it was very awkward for him to use such formulaic language. But Zilong is different from the past, the other day he admitted his identity just for planning, they all understood that Zilong was not the person who was the big 6, and the dark blue eyes were also a coincidence, but now the soaring purple dragon has proved everything, Zilong is a well-deserved supreme nobleman, if you treat him with the same attitude as before, it will be unreasonable. However, when he heard Zilong's words, he suddenly felt that he was a little too careful, how could Zilong be a person who cares about everything.
Thinking of this, Zi Lanqi felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, his face softened, and he said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency wants to help, thank you very much." ”
When Zilong told Gu Xishui and them everything that happened when he came into contact with Hutian, several people finally understood why the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed in a breath, and they were also amazed at the power and horror of the peerless divine soldiers, if they hadn't reacted in time, I am afraid that more people would have died unjustly.
After learning all the things, Zilong and the others suddenly became busy, and there were still so many nobles and city lords waiting for their appeasement. I am afraid that their grievances will not be small when they suffer from this unjustified calamity.
All the personnel of Tianjia joined in the rescue operation against the nobles, and it only took half a day to rescue all the people who were buried deeply, and then the medical personnel began emergency treatment. Just as Zilong and the others had guessed, those nobles and city lords were full of complaints poured out on Zi Qianhua's head, and when Zilong came to him, he was frowning and accepting everyone's accusations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we didn't think of what happened today, is it too rude for you to accuse the Purple City Lord for no reason, you must know how much energy the Purple City Lord has spent to maintain the peace of Lixi Da 6, when you are lying in your luxurious mansion safely, he is protecting the safety of Da 6 with his life, and fighting to the death with the Imperial God Pavilion. I don't think any of you guys here have any right to scold him. Seeing that Zi Qianhua no longer caused trouble and didn't defend himself, Zilong couldn't help but step forward to say good things for him.
Zilong's speech did not leave any emotion, which made these high-flying and domineering old men suddenly become angry, and turned around and opened their mouths to scold. The scolding was swallowed raw back into his stomach when he saw the soaring purple dragon. The faces of several city lords were very ugly, as if a basin of cold water had been poured down, and all the anger had disappeared.
"Your Excellency, please forgive us for being rude, of course we understand the hardships of the Purple City Lord, but it is only because the Imperial God Pavilion is so rampant that we are very angry, so we ...... it on impulse," said a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, who looked like a villain's embarrassed aristocracy from the crowd.
"Why is the Imperial God Pavilion so rampant The Purple City Lord has already made it very clear at the meeting, I believe that as long as the people of Lixi Da 6 can be united, they will not be able to show up to today, you noble adults will have to think about this problem in the future. Purple City Lord, I still have some things to discuss with you, please come with me. Seeing that some of these people were the ones on the list, Zilong couldn't help but sneer, and as soon as the words fell, he saw that those people's faces immediately changed.
"Your Excellency, is there anything you want me to do?" Zi Qianhua asked when Zilong took Zi Qianhua to a secluded place.
"Purple City Lord, I want to gather fifty-two maps. Zilong said with a solemn face.
"Huh?" Zi Qianhua looked at Zilong in surprise, not understanding why he came up with this idea at this time? Gathering this map is definitely to find the place of the god's seal, but at this time of tension, looking for the place of the god's seal is not exposed to the enemy's eyes, it is a very unwise choice.
"Your Excellency, the Sect Master will not agree. Zi Qianhua knew that she couldn't stop Zilong's decision, so she had to use the sect master as a shield, hoping that he would change his mind.
"You don't have to bother with this, the city lord just needs to do the work of the other city lords, as for Gu Xishui, I will explain everything for her, I believe she will definitely agree with my approach." Zilong said with great confidence, if he didn't dare to guarantee that he could persuade Gu Xishui before, in fact, Gu Xishui was an extremely stubborn person. But now the situation is different, the appearance of the protector has made things complicated, what does he have to do with God, whether God himself or inherited the power of God, all this can only be clarified when he reaches the place where God is sealed. If he is really a god, then the fifty-two ancestral city lords are afraid that they have already died, this is something that is eager to figure out, even if he is lonely and regrets the water, he must want to get the answer, you must know that thousands of years can make any impossible possible.
Seeing Zilong's unwavering appearance, Zi Qianhua understood that even the sect master might not let Zilong dispel this idea, and it was very likely that he would be influenced by him, Zilong just had the ability to influence others unconsciously. Thinking of this, Zi Qianhua didn't say much, thinking about how to convince those city lords, in fact, he had already wanted to do this, it was too dangerous for this map to remain in the hands of the city lords, but the time was not ripe at that time, and now that Zilong was in charge, presumably those people didn't dare to say anything more, you must know that most of the people in Lixi Da 6 were extremely worshipful of that person and the seven divine dragons.
Zilong really hit a big nail in the lonely water, she didn't listen to Zilong's next explanation and directly rejected Zilong's proposal, and warned him not to mention it. Her stubbornness made Zilong fully aware of her hostility to the gods and the ** that protected the sealed land, but now she must not be allowed to be stubborn.
After finally letting Gu Xishui listen to his reasons with peace of mind, Zilong told Gu Xishui in detail about the dialogue between the three brothers of Zhongniqing and Hutian and the vision of the Floating Shadow Sword after meeting the Guardian Heaven, and even told Xuan Ying about the close relationship between the Floating Shadow Sword and the gods. And with the wisdom of Lonely Water, after summarizing all the details, he also realized the suspiciousness of the matter, and decided to gather the map first before making plans.
The City Lord's Mansion had no place to stay, and even a complete building could not be found, so after everyone gathered together, they were ready to leave here, and the rest of the handling work was handed over to Zi Qianhua and them.
"Luoyori, let Qixiang and Yan come out, there shouldn't be any danger now. "As early as the beginning of the meeting, Zilong let Qi Xiang and Yan Xuan, two people who have no offensive power, enter the virtual space of Luo Yori, and now he is really grateful for his decision, otherwise if he puts the two of them into the different dimension, he may have been attacked by the Shadow Sword now.
"Is everything settled?" asked as soon as he walked out of the virtual space, just like everyone looked at and saw that each of them was safe and sound.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's get out of here first. Zilong didn't know how to tell Yan Tong Yantian that he was still alive, and he died again under the joint efforts of Gu Xishui and Zi Lanqi, so he changed the topic and said.
Seeing that Zilong seemed to have something to hide, Yan Yi only thought that they had not solved the problem of protecting the sky, so he did not continue to ask, and followed everyone to the outside of the city lord's mansion. Leaving the abandoned mansion, the people went to the cloth shop and used it as their temporary residence.
Just as they stepped into a very secret room to discuss their future plans, they saw Yan Xuan suddenly look around and then fixed his eyes on the corner of the room and said in a cold tone: "How long will you follow me?"
They hurriedly followed the gaze of the Ran, and saw that there was nothing in the corner behind the door, and just when they were confused, they listened to the continuation of the words: "I should have guessed that you are not so easy to die, since you are here, why don't you show up." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone saw that the space at the door trembled, and then the air gradually depicted a shape that was almost indistinguishable from the human form, the human form became clearer and clearer, and finally became transparent, as if it was made of water condensation, seeing this human figure, everyone immediately guessed his true identity, not the shadow of the Yan Yantian, but how he became a shadow form.
With Yan Yan by his side, Zilong didn't know what to do with this Tong Yantian, just sat down to see how Yan Yan solved it, the entanglement between the two was extremely complicated, he wanted to see how Yan Yan treated this betrayer. He looked at the others and saw that they seemed to be cut down in the same way as himself, and with the appearance of watching a play, each found a seat to enjoy the next performance.
"Are you following me to let me save you?"
"The hosts. Tong Yantian lowered his head and said in a pleading tone.
"I'm no longer your master, and I can't help you anymore, don't you know that your master has sealed my power, you should go and ask him, only he can give you a human body, and I can't do anything, didn't you leave for this reason in the first place. Is it just a hundred years for you to become stupid? Yan Yi couldn't hide the anger in his heart and said loudly, such a gaffe was something they had never seen Zilong before.
"Tianyan is willing to continue to follow his master. In the face of Yan Yan's severe scolding, Tong Yantian or Tianyan suddenly knelt on the ground and said, his respectful tone was very different from his previous ones.
The name Tianyan shook her whole body, and all the memories of the past came flooding back, and she closed her eyes and was silent for a long time, as if she had made a decision.
"He also participated in the action of the Imperial God Pavilion today, right, you have to be careful, his strength as a shadow is several times greater than before. He turned around and reminded Zilong that they didn't know whether he really meant to protect Tong Yantian or whether he was genuinely thinking about their safety, I was afraid that there were some of both.
"Do you mean to let us let him go?" Gu Xishui sneered, she had been fighting with Tong Yantian for so many years, and it was a bit whimsical to let her let Tong Yantian go.
"That's up to you, I don't have the right to ask, I'm just reminding you. I only hope that you will understand that Tianyan is not Tong Yantian, they are two completely different people, Tianyan will not hurt me, and naturally it will not threaten you, but if he returns to Hutian's side, all this will change, in fact, you can kill Tong Yantian, and Hutian can create another one. ”
The words made Zilong and the others fall into contemplation, whether to try to fight for a powerful shadow or to eliminate this hidden danger, in terms of the current situation, they really need masters, but Tianyan is an unstable factor, I don't know when it will explode, this is undoubtedly a gamble.
"I don't know why you're coming back to me again, but you should know what it means, having a human body has always been your desire, and I can't do it. What's more, you don't think your transformation is too sudden, I won't trust you anymore, if you really want to come back, make a life sharing contract, but you have to think clearly, once you make a contract, your life is in my hands, if you make a little bad move, I will commit suicide immediately, you don't expect Hutian to break the spar again, you and I have lost value in his eyes, he won't do it again. Of course, you have a second option: leave now, and if you do, you'll have to get past them, and maybe you'll be able to get through it. ”
He had thought that Tianyan would refuse, after all, he had been very eager for freedom, and it would be easy for him to escape from the siege of Zilong with his strength. But she didn't expect that as soon as her words fell, Tianyan disappeared in place, and the next moment she had arrived at her side, she only felt a pain in her hand, it turned out that Tianyan cut her index finger, and then put her index finger against his forehead, so that a drop of blood submerged into his forehead, and then she heard a familiar oath: "Left hand knot, right hand contract, Tianyan is willing to form a life-sharing contract with the master, and then your life is my life!"
Tianyan's movements were fast, and when everyone reacted, the oath of the life contract had already been recited, and now just waiting for Yan Yi to accept the contract, the relationship between the two could be restored to hundreds of years ago, so everyone looked at Yan Yan to see how she reacted. I saw that Yan Yan was stunned, looked at Tianyan's eyes that could barely see, and muttered in his mouth: "Left hand contract, right hand knot, Yan Yan is willing to form a life sharing contract with Shadow Tianyan, and then your life is my life." As soon as the words fell, I saw two blue-gray rays of light rising from the bodies of the two of them, gathering into two balls of light in the sky, and the balls of light gradually shrank and solidified, forming two crystal clear cyan spars and then fell, and disappeared in a flash.
"Master, this is the hedron, it has entered their brains, and it represents the fulfillment of the life contract. Xuan Ying knew that Zilong didn't know much about Shadow, so he explained.
As soon as the contract was completed, Tianyan obediently stood silently behind Yan Yan, who looked at him coldly, and said to Zilong: "Tianyan is already my shadow, as for whether you accept him or not, it is not up to me to decide." ”
After listening to Yan Yan's words, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zilong's mouth, she was obviously forcing herself to accept Tianyan, after all, if she wanted to drive Tianyan away, she would inevitably drive Yan Yan away, of course he couldn't do such a thing. In fact, he also guessed a few points for what he did this, she once said that there were too few masters around her, and this move was probably also for herself to have more masters, but she didn't consider the idea of Gu Xishui and Tianjia's personnel, can they have such a big mind and not blame Tianyan for the past?
And is Tianyan really willing to surrender? Although he has taken the initiative to make a contract, who can know if this is a conspiracy to protect the sky.
Zilong looked in the direction of Gu Xishui, and sure enough, he saw that her face was not good, and the cold light in her pure blue eyebrows collided with her gaze, and he suddenly felt as if he had seen sparks scattering at the intersection of his sights. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Gu Xishui suddenly spoke: "I hope that Elder Yan will not make the same mistakes as before. ”
Zilong didn't expect that Gu Xi Shui would easily choose to compromise, and was taken aback when she heard this, even Yan Yan was surprised, she thought that it would take time to convince Gu Xi Shui.
"If I really make a mistake this time, then I will be with my life. He said firmly.
"Why does Elder Yan have to do this, even if Tianyan is your shadow, you know him very well, but hundreds of years are too easy to change a person, can you really be sure that he will not betray you again?" Zilong found a solitary opportunity to ask Yan.
"Since you don't agree, why do you want to oppose it now?" Facing Zilong's question, Yan said with a smile.
"Because I believe that you will never harm me?" Zilong said with great confidence.
"It's okay to tell you, don't you want to break Qixiang's ban? I didn't have the strength before, so I couldn't do it, but after Tianyan, I'm at least sixty percent sure. Ignoring Tianyan who was standing aside, he directly told his true purpose.
"You're saying that Qixiang's ban can be lifted. Hearing this good news, Zilong was pleasantly surprised, he never thought that Qixiang's matter would suddenly take a turn for the better, and Tianyan became cute in his eyes.
Seeing Zilong's undisguised joy, Yan Yan couldn't help but joke: "Have you ever realized that you can't hide your thoughts as soon as you encounter something about Qixiang, you two are desperately thinking about each other, it's really like a couple, it's a pity that you can't be together again." She has not forgotten to match the two, and of course she will not let go of this opportunity.
"Elder, I only regard her as a sister, I already have a wife. Seeing that he had misunderstood the relationship between himself and Qixiang, Zilong hurriedly explained, but ignored the depressed feeling in his heart.
"How long do you have to lie to yourself, do you really think you can think of her as a sister, why are you so emotionally dull? He couldn't wait to wake up Zilong with a stick, but he couldn't even see his true feelings. She secretly thought in her heart that this might be because of Qixiang's young relationship, so Zilong would ignore it, it seems that the ban must be lifted as soon as possible, I don't know what will happen when Qixiang matures, she doesn't believe that Zilong can deny it at that time.
His feelings have already been given to his three wives, and there are so many feelings for others, not to mention that this is too unfair and cruel for several women.
didn't want to bring up this issue again, Zilong hurriedly changed the topic and asked when the ban could be broken.
"You're too anxious, Tianyan's strength hasn't recovered yet, and it will take a few days. She couldn't guess Zilong's thoughts, but she didn't break it, but said with a smile.
"Then why ......" Yan kept saying that Tianyan's strength was strong, and now how could he say that his strength had not recovered, such a contradictory statement made Zilong puzzled.
"If I don't say that, will Lonely Water let him go? When the time comes, it will be a fool's dream for Qixiang to want to lift the ban, not to mention that I just said that when he is a shadow, his strength is several times that of before, but he has been affected when he fights with Lonely Soul, and even if he becomes a shadow in a moment of crisis, it will be affected, otherwise how can you not show that he has been following us. ”
Yan Yi actually used the vague meaning in the words to deceive Gu Xi Shui, if Gu Xi Shui knew, the consequences could be imagined, but for the sake of Qi Xiang, Zilong couldn't care about her thoughts.
"You've already understood the matter, and I still have something to talk to Tianyan about. Yan glanced at Tianyan, who was silent, and gave Zilong an eviction order.
