When I arrived in Anyang City, it happened to be the New Year, and Shuyun Jian took Hua Qingmo to a house, and there were two black jade unicorns placed on both sides of the door of the house, surrounded by snow, but there was a different scenery. Above the vermilion gate, there is a mahogany plaque with two words written on it - Chu family.

"This is Yun Jian's friend's house, and in the days of Anyang, Qingmo and Momo will live here with me." Shu Yunjian turned his head to look at Hua Qingmo, with a smile as gentle as water on his delicate face. She was wearing a cloud-white Wanyan Luo skirt, with a plain white cloak tied outside, and the white fox fur embroidered on the edge of the cloak moved slightly, reflecting the face of the book and the cloud, which was peerless, elegant and beautiful.

"Well, I'm tired." Hua Qingmo nodded, with a smile on Qingli's face. Then she hugged Mo Mo in her arms and followed Shuyun into the house.

When she arrived in the room, Hua Qingmo took off the brocade quilt wrapped in Mo Mo, and stared at her daughter with a very gentle look. After two months, Mo Mo has grown a lot, and her facial features have become more and more delicate and good-looking, except for her nose and face that are like herself, everything else is like Bai Zixiao, especially when she hooks her lips slightly, she is exactly the same as Bai Zixiao.

Looking at her daughter, Hua Qingmo missed Bai Zixiao more and more. These days, news has come from the Linyue Emperor Capital one after another. The first is that the six princes who have been away since childhood came back and inherited the Shuwang Mansion, named Feng Zixiao. After that, it was rumored that the sixth prince and the fourth prince were at odds, because of the fiancée of the sixth prince, Meng Shangning, the daughter of the Meng family of the five great families, is now the first beauty in Linyue.

When she heard the news, Hua Qingmo was calm and a little weird. After all, this is Linyue's ancestral teaching, and since Bai Zixiao has returned, he has to follow this ancestral training for the time being. However, she knew that what Bai Zixiao didn't want to do, there was absolutely no one in this world who could force him.

After staying at the Chu family for a few days, it was the day of the Xuanyuan Pagoda martial arts competition, and Hua Qingmo and Shuyun Jian went together. The two of them discussed, and if neither of them could win, they would give up. If the two fight in the end, let Hua Qingmo win, and after that, as long as she gives Yun Ling flowers to Shu Yunjian.

Xuanyuan Pagoda is the most peculiar place in Linyue Kingdom, with a total of 100 towers, collectively known as Xuanyuan Pagoda. Its shape is extremely peculiar, from the outside it is eight sides and ten layers, graceful and generous, and the atmosphere is extraordinary. The body of the tower shrinks step by step from bottom to top, one hundred silver bells are hung on the corner of the eaves of the tower, the cold wind blows, the sound of the silver bell is light and slow, it is a unique scenery.

When Hua Qingmo and Shuyun arrived, the outside of Xuanyuan Pagoda was already crowded with people. There are also many women among them, but Hua Qingmo and Shu Yunjian have both changed into men's clothes, after all, their identities are a bit special, and if they act in women's clothes, they may cause chaos.

This competition, because of the holy decree of the Emperor of Linyue, there are many people who come here, which is a bit weird. Hua Qingmo and Shu Yunjian looked at it, and then walked to one of the towers. When he arrived at the door, there was a young man in gray standing there, the man looked Hua Qingmo up and down like Shu Yunjian, and immediately persuaded him: "Two little boys, this competition is different from usual, if the two little boys want to go to the tower to try, it is better to wait until after this competition, so as not to accidentally hurt the two sons of those martial arts people." "Such a weak and thin son, with a face like a crown of jade, I am afraid that he will be frightened by the people of the green forest inside before he even plays, he really doesn't want to see this kind of scene.

"It's okay, take us in." Shu Yunjian stretched out his hand and took out a certain amount of silver and handed it to the man, the smile on the corner of his lips was gentle but revealing the essence of alienation: "I heard that the winner of this time can become the general of Linyue, there must be a lot of people here!" ”

"No matter how many people come, the land of a hundred towers will be finished." When the man said this, there was a hint of pride in his voice. He put away the silver, led Hua Qingmo and Shuyun Jian inside, and then suddenly stopped around the corner, and whispered: "The two sons should be careful, our master of Xuanyuan Tower decided to choose before the competition, and the only people who really participated in the competition were those who could get out of the tower today, and there were only two people in each tower." So as soon as you enter the Xuanyuan Tower, the selection begins. ”

"I see, thank you." Hua Qingmo couldn't help but glance at Shu Yunjian when she heard this, and each had considerations in her heart. However, if they can't get out of this tower, they will definitely not win the next competition. So it's better to be cautious and embrace this upcoming choice.

The shape in the Xuanyuan Pagoda is extremely unique, and at first glance it is known that it is set up for the competition to watch. There is a square ring in the center, and there is a distance of about five meters next to the ring, and there are fixed adjacent seats, which should be used for people to watch. The lowest floor has the most locations, Hua Qingmo looked around with her ability, and estimated it at random, there are about two thousand positions, and the second and third floors are probably for people with status and status to watch, all of them are private rooms. On the remaining floors, Hua Qingmo took a casual look and found that it was a room, but no one lived in it.

Walking to the easternmost part of the first floor, there were quite a few people standing there, as if they were registering their names. Hua Qingmo and Shu Yunjian walked to the end of the group and lined up to register their names.

After the man left, a woman in front of him looked back at them, and a charming smile appeared on her face with heavy makeup: "What a handsome two sons." After the woman finished speaking, her hand covered with bright red Kodan stroked Hua Qingmo's face, and the cold light on her nails shone coldly.

"Toxic." Shuyun immediately noticed that something was wrong and reminded Hua Qingmo.

As soon as she heard this, the woman's face changed, and then she felt a sharp pain in her right arm, and immediately stopped. Then, she lifted her broad robe and looked at the bright red blood on her white arm.

"If you don't want this hand, just stretch it out again." Hua Qingmo turned the silver needle in her hand, and her voice was cold. Since the man will tell them about the selection, he will inevitably say it to others, so the people here should already be thinking about how to reduce the opponent, and they need to be vigilant at all times.

"Two little white faces." The woman looked at Hua Qingmo and Shuyun notes mockingly, and then the index finger of her right hand gently wiped off a little blood bead on her arm. The bright red blood reflected the skin on her fingertips, white as falling snow, she stretched her fingers into her mouth, and sucked it gently, her posture was soft and bewitching to the extreme.

This posture makes other men a little itchy to watch, after all, a woman who is so seductive makes such an action in front of them, as a man, some feelings are normal.

When Hua Qingmo remembered her name, the man sitting in front of him glanced at her up and down, and said very calmly: "Name." ”

"Mo Qinghua." Hua Qingmo replied aloud, using her name upside down.

"Two hundred taels of silver tickets." The man said loudly while remembering Hua Qingmo's name.

When Hua Qingmo heard this, she took out two hundred taels of silver tickets and put them on the table. Then, her eyes looked at the few gray-clothed men standing behind the man. If she expected, these men should be soldiers of the imperial court. Professional training is very different from ordinary martial arts practitioners, and you can see that these people are not ordinary guards by looking at their postures.

"Mo Gongzi, you sign the life and death certificate, whether this competition is life or death, it has nothing to do with our Xuanyuan Tower." The man put a certificate of life and death in front of Hua Qingmo, and there was a hint of advice in his voice: "If the son wants to leave, he will return your two hundred taels in the future, and if you don't want to, I will ask you to sign the certificate of life and death." ”

Hua Qingmo didn't speak, just picked up the pen on the side and wrote her name on the life and death certificate.

After the people in this Xuanyuan Pagoda finished remembering their names, the named man brought them to the ring, stared at them, and said: "Everyone, there are two hundred and forty-eight people in the twenty-seventh tower of the Xuanyuan Pagoda this time, but our master has instructed that only two people can participate in this competition, so the tower master of the twenty-seventh tower will choose two from among you. ”

"Pick?" A disdainful voice sounded, and then a big man with a Chinese character face and a beard walked up to the man with a pair of silver hammers in his hand, looked at him with great disdain, and said: "Just choose Lao Tzu if you want to, Lao Tzu can kill you with a hammer." ”

After the rude voice fell, the big man slammed into the man with a hammer, and the action was merciless. The sun from the top of the tower shone down and fell on the silver hammer, and the light was extremely fierce. But the silver hammer suddenly stopped when it was still a little away from the man's face, and this scene made the big man stunned for a moment, and he pressed down the silver hammer in his hand hard, but the silver hammer did not move at all, and could not hurt the man in the slightest.

The person standing next to him saw it clearly, and the man just touched the silver hammer with one finger and directly blocked the big man's attack. Such arm strength is not comparable to the big man at all, this big man is really a class axe, and he can't measure his strength.

Looking at the fine beads of sweat that appeared on the big man's face, the man's figure suddenly moved behind the big man, and went down directly with a knife, and the big man fainted on the ground. Then, the man looked at the person in front of him again and said, "The method of selection is extremely simple, you have to stay in the Twenty-Seven Towers for five hours, and if someone stands in the Twenty-Seven Towers after five hours, it will be the winner." ”

With that, the man left the ring with a light tiptoe. When he fell to the side, there was a sudden and extremely strange sound from the Xuanyuan Tower, as if it came from the depths of the earth, with an indescribable horror.

At this time, the Xuanyuan Pagoda was extremely empty, and the sound echoed in the tower, which seemed extremely treacherous. I saw that from the seats around the ring, steel pillars rose one after another, and those steel pillars stopped when they reached the second floor, and then the same steel pillars rose from the second floor and went straight to the third floor, and only stopped after the steel pillars stretched to the ninth floor.

Immediately afterward, there was a 'hissing' sound around him, as well as the sound of crawling on the ground. Such a scene stunned the ring and the people standing under the ring, and anyone could guess that there were countless snakes crawling towards them around them.
