Time flies by, half a month later......

At night, the roof of the Snow Fang Country Star Mansion.

"General Hanchen, I see that you are not in a good state of mind, but you have been entangled in trivial matters recently?" General Xingzun's flat voice rose faintly, like a quiet jungle, deep and mysterious. He picked up a white chess piece in his right hand and lightly clasped it on the chessboard.

Han Chen pinched a black chess piece with his two fingers, but it didn't fall for a long time, he frowned, stared at the chess piece with his eyes, and said, "Why did the Star Venerable General say this?"

"Because of your chess, the layout is messy," Xingzun said slowly, reaching out and gently moving a white chess piece in the inconspicuous part of the chess game, then raised his head and said, "It's like, in the case of being concealed by someone, I was led away for unknown reasons." ”

Hanchen's heart was shocked, the situation on the chessboard had changed dramatically, and the battle situation was still mysterious, but it seemed to be beginning to have a trace of clarity.

He looked at Xingzun looking at him calmly, sighed deeply, threw the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess cup, shook his head and said: "The Stranger Contest is approaching, I have been restless for the past few days, and I always feel that something big is going to happen. ”

"General Hanchen, recently I peeked at the stars again and found that the current starry sky arrangement seems to indicate another five hundred years of reincarnation. Xingzun's eyes began to become hollow, and his voice was silent, echoing in the ears of General Hanchen.

After Hanchen heard this, a spirit was excited, and his brows were tightly locked. He knew very well what the five hundred years of reincarnation that Xingzun was talking about.

There has always been a legend on this ancient continent. Every five hundred years, many of those seals that have been handed down since ancient times will be in a rather weak state at the moment of reincarnation.

Those demons who are in the seal will choose to attack the seal at this time, and once they succeed, they will re-incarnate and bring disaster to the world.

Hanchen knew the seriousness of the current situation, and asked in a panic: "Dare to ask General Xingzun, is there a way to solve it?"

Xingzun smiled slightly, and the ethereal and quiet voice sounded again: "General Hanchen said that he was just an astrologer, and he had the opportunity to dare to open the eyes of heaven and look at the red dust, but he was powerless to change it." What's more, the world is always fair, and there is cause and effect, so you and I just go with the flow. ”

"General Xingzun!" Han Chen said solemnly, and said respectfully, "If I were just living alone in the world, I would not ask you for advice on how to survive, but now that the world is alive, it is also a concern in my heart, and I hope the general will make it clear." ”

Xingzun's eyebrows drooped, and his long eyelashes covered the countless vast stars in his pupils, "I know that General Hanchen cares about the world and has the common people in mind, but who in the world cares about you Hanchen, isn't this the sorrow of the general?"

"In this world, there is nothing to be sad about, and no one is to be sad. Hanchen got up, clenched his fists and bowed, "If General Xingzun has a way to crack it, I hope to inform you." ”

Seeing Hanchen's repeated insistence, Xing Zheng sighed solemnly, stood up and turned around, turned his back to Hanchen, and slowly spoke: "I don't know how to crack it, but once a strange star told me that there was originally a broken maple leaf swaying in the wind between heaven and earth, and finally fell to the center of the whirlpool of this era, and in this undercurrent surging situation, it will stir up monstrous waves......"

Hanchen kept these words in his heart, and his eyes flowed with a strange light. Xingzun paused for a moment, as if he was a little hesitant, he turned around and said slowly: "Perhaps, in that place where there is no grass, there is the answer you want." ”

After hearing this, Hanchen suddenly raised his head and looked at Xingzun with a firm gaze, Xingzun's eyes were deep, and he was also looking at Hanchen. At this time, a full moon is in the sky, the night is like water, and the stars in the sky converge into a beautiful Milky Way, which appears brighter and brighter.

On the chessboard, there is still that mysterious battle situation, but if you look closely, you find that no matter where the next chess piece lands, it will attract siege and kill from all sides, and there is no chance of survival in the real dead end.

A few days later, in the main hall of the capital of the Snow Fang Country.

The monarch Xue Manyi was sitting on the throne of the main hall, looking at the outsiders in the hall with a proud face.

"The high priest of the Yifang Sect, Ma Feng, has seen the king. The man was dressed in a white robe, holding a scroll in his hand and holding it flat on his chest, and said in a hoarse voice.

Monarch Xue Manyi had a look of disdain on his face, and while continuing to look through the scrolls, he said, "Oh, I'm sent by the Yifang Sect." So what's going on?"

Ma Feng smiled, the voice was like a dead wood breaking, it sounded very uncomfortable, he was still hoarse, and said: "The monarch is so big, I don't personally go out of the palace to greet the people, but I don't respect the pope?"

Listening to the gloomy and hoarse voice of the high priest Marphon, Xue Manyi became more and more disgusted, he closed the scroll, "Hmph, if the Pope comes in person, I will greet you, you are just a little priest, can you represent the Pope?" Xue Manyi still had a proud look.

"Hehe, the monarch said that I am a little priest, how can I represent the great pope. The High Priest Ma Feng was not annoyed after being refuted by Xue Manyi, and continued, "I have been ordered by the Pope to come to consolidate the list of the Abilities Competition, and I hope that the monarch will make it convenient. ”

"Integrate the list of the Adeptus Competition?" Xue Manyi said coldly, "This is the Pope's business, but he only sent you a priest, you go back and ask if he still has me as a monarch in his eyes!"

After hearing this, Ma Feng still had a smiling face, but there was a little more gloomy in his eyes, "Monarch, I am also acting on orders, if you have any opinions, please go and consult with the Pope, and I hope we don't embarrass each other." ”

"The Contest of the Stranger is held every three years, and it is held by the two empires of I, Snow Fang and Yash Cangmang, and this time it is our turn, is the Pope so unconcerned?" Xue Manyi continued to look at the scroll in his hand, and asked leisurely.

After hearing this, Ma Feng was still not annoyed, and his gloomy and hoarse voice sounded again: "His Holiness the Pope has a lot of affairs, so there is no need to bother his old man with such a trivial matter." ”

"A trivial matter?" Monarch Xue Manyi raised his eyebrows, slammed the scroll in his hand, and shouted angrily, "If the face of my Snow Fang Country is a trivial matter, then may I ask your Pope what other major matters!"

"Don't be angry, if you don't want the Yifang Sect to interfere in this Strange Ability Competition, I will go and ask the Desolate General, and the Yifang Sect will withdraw. Archpriest Marphon said with a smile.

"Desolate General?" Hearing Ma Feng mention the desolation, it was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for Xue Manyi, "What is he, as the king of a country of Snow Fang, do I have to ask him for advice on what to decide?"

After hearing this, Ma Feng still smiled and said: "Since the Desolate General proposed that the Yifang Sect assist in the management of foreign affairs many years ago, we have always done things according to the instructions of the Desolate General, and now that we want to change the rules, we need to go and ask for instructions, but ......"

When Ma Feng said this, he paused, raised his head to look at the monarch, smiled and said coldly: "It seems a little inappropriate for the monarch to comment on the barren general like this. ”

"Hmph, what's wrong?" Monarch Xue Manyi was expressionless, his eyes were cold and he looked at the high priest Ma Feng, and said in Ma Feng's tone, "The decision I made as the king of the Snow Fang country, it seems that there is something wrong with you, a Xue Fang courtier, to consult the barren general." ”

"The monarch laughed, I am just a small priest, and I am also ordered to do things, and I hope that the monarch will not be embarrassed. The voice of the High Priest Maphon grew more and more gloomy and hoarse, until at last it was like a demon chewing on it.

Xue Manyi wanted to say something again, but before he could speak, there was a sudden strong wind outside the hall, thunder was everywhere, and with a vision from the sky, an old man wearing a red-edged white robe and holding a purple and gold cane stepped in from outside the main hall.

As soon as the old man entered the main hall of the national capital, the wind and thunder outside all stopped abruptly, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion and had never appeared. But with each step, the contact between the cane and the ground, like a burst of magic sound, echoed in the main hall, and could not be dissipated for a long time.

The white-robed old man walked slowly, walked to the center of the main hall, and stood side by side with the high priest Ma Feng, and in his somewhat empty eyes, two rays of light suddenly burst out, directly hitting the heart of the monarch Xue Manyi. An old voice rang out at the right time: "Pope Yifang, come to visit." ”

Ever since the white-robed old man appeared, Xue Manyi knew who was coming, and he was glanced at by the Fang Sect, and a chill ran behind him. Secretly gritted his teeth, got up a little reluctantly, walked to the pope and the high priest, bent down and said respectfully: "I don't know that the pope is coming, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Pope Gu Jing Wubo's face could not see a trace of emotional fluctuations, he did not deliberately put pressure on the monarch Xue Manyi, and slowly said: "That's it, do the right thing." ”

Xue Manyi found that his voice was a little hoarse, he knew that the "business" that the Pope was talking about was referring to the integration of the list of the Ability Competition, so he deliberately straightened his waist, forcibly calmed down, waved his hand, and held back a word: "Please!"

Pope Yifang said no more, and walked forward with the archpriest Marfon, and when he saw this, Xue Manyi dodged and made way for him.

When the two of them passed by Xue Manyi, the Pope spoke: "Monarch, if it is a prestige, please choose a good object." After saying that, he ignored it and walked towards the back of the main hall with the high priest Marfon.

After the Pope left, Xue Manyi found that his clothes had been soaked with sweat, he stood in place, panting heavily, staring at the direction of the two of them with cold eyes, his clenched fist slowly loosened, and then as if he was angry, he punched the stone pillar next to him, snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and walked towards the back of the hall.
