After the crowd left, Xiao Jiansheng's forehead began to sweat.

The sun was sinking in the west, and the sky was getting dark.

At the junction of the dark sky and the wasteland in the distance, several tall earthen forts with yellow protrusions stood on a thick and stretching low wall like giants, Shangguan Xue pointed to the nearest earthen fort and said with emotion: "In order to resist the invasion of the Western Wilderness, the Qin State built this city wall, and now Qin has become the dust of memory, and the city wall is about to turn into a handful of loess in the world." ”

Xiao Jiansheng squinted his eyes and looked at the direction of the earth fort, and sighed: "Yes, the country is broken, the mountains and rivers remain, if the Qin State wants to stand in the heaven and earth for a long time, it must first be self-reliant, and the same is true for people." ”

Shangguan Xue chuckled silently, and after laughing a few times, her beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Jiansheng, and said with a serious face: "I'll wait for you to be the first in the world, how about it?"

Xiao Jiansheng nodded solemnly, picked up the bantam and walked in the direction of the earthen fort.

This night, the crescent moon was exceptionally bright, and the stars in the sky were extraordinarily twinkling.

Under the torn earth fort, a circle of earth clods besieged the city was burning very hot, the dry branches were crackling, Xiao Jiansheng leaned against the earthen fort, Shangguan Xue leaned on his legs, the two of them did not feel sleepy, looking at the night sky in a daze.

It seems that he touched the scene, or the current scene reminded him a lot.

He remembered that when his adoptive father was alive, he would often sit in the small courtyard at night and look up at the starry sky, and occasionally when his adoptive father was in high spirits, he would grab his little finger and point to the brightest stars in the sky, and say some crazy things that he didn't understand at the time.

Although he was still young at that time, there were some things he would never forget in his life, in the year when his adoptive father was about to die, one night his adoptive father drank a lot of wine, he sat on his adoptive father's lap, and his adoptive father sat on the stone bench, and talked to him about many things in the eight years of Zhuwu, and this night the adoptive father suddenly talked a lot.

The adoptive father said that every night at midnight, a bright purple star often appeared in the sky above Yuntian City.

The adoptive father also said that he had picked himself up under an old elm tree that was dying.

Xiao Jiansheng looked at the starry sky from afar and said, "Sister Shangguan, do you believe that Ziyun has descended into the world?"

Shangguan Xue said calmly: "I believe that it is not a matter of chasing the wind and shadows, there are real historical materials to check, and it is said that Ziyun will be in chaos, the world will be in chaos, the people will be more kings, and the people will be in chaos." ”

I don't know how long it took, but the sky was still pitch black.

Xiao Jiansheng said: "That night...... When the old man said flashy, I always felt that he was telling me that he was telling me how to build up and how to burst out with the strongest blow, so I threw a punch. ”

Regarding the events of that night, although Shangguan Xue was not as brazen as Xiao Jiansheng to peek, she had been listening attentively, the old man's words were indeed worth scrutinizing, and she had never been able to figure out the later gift of pills.

People are different, opportunities are different, as long as it is good for Xiao Jiansheng, Shangguan Xue didn't think too much.

Shangguan Xue said softly: "So you killed a cultivator, and that person's realm is not low." ”

Xiao Jiansheng smiled bitterly: "It would be nice if this was the case." ”

Shangguan Xue leaned Xiao Jiansheng's leg, changed to a more comfortable position, and comforted: "In any case, it is a fact that you killed that person, so that your control of power in the future will only be good and not harmful, if your cultivation can follow up in time, the actual combat power should not be underestimated." ”

Xiao Jiansheng smirked, his gaze falling on the distant horizon where the stars were twinkling.

The firewood had been burned out, and a bright color rose from the east.

Xiao Jiansheng quietly led the bantam horse, hung the bag prepared in advance and the long knife on the saddle, and then calmed down and said: "I can only send you here, we still have a long way to go, Sister Shangguan, take care." ”

Shangguan Xue slowly raised her head, looked at Xiao Jiansheng with beautiful eyes and said: "Climb over that wall, there is no reason to say, I hope you can unlock the secrets on your body in Wuji Palace." ”

Xiao Jiansheng nodded lightly, and when he was about to help Shangguan Xue onto the horse, Shangguan Xue hesitated, and then threw herself into Xiao Jiansheng's arms.

"Sister Shangguan, you crossed the line. ”

Xiao Jiansheng muttered and walked towards the gray earthen wall.

......

......

It is said that a long, long time ago, there was an old man named Wuji, who traveled 80,000 miles in the world, passing through a vast sea of sand, and was attracted by the barren atmosphere here.

After the death of the old man, his body turned into a thousand beautiful peaks, his hair turned into a tree between the peaks, his breath turned into a fairy mist, his facial features turned into five palaces, the circle he once drew became a ring-shaped jasper lake, on weekdays, the jasper lake has no wind and no waves, the lake surface is like a mirror, quietly guarding the five palaces, but every six years, the jasper lake rises and falls once.

Later generations are grateful for the old man's feat, so they named this sand sea wonder after the old man, Wuji Palace, and Jasper Lake was named Shenlong Lake because it resembled a dragon connected to the first place.

There is a big ban in Shenlong Lake, that is, it is not allowed to play in the water, and those who violate this order will be punished by the nine swords of the Jade Shadow.

However, just a few days ago, several named disciples who were in charge of inspecting the lake area heard that someone was washing their feet on the shore of Shenlong Lake, and some people even saw that the person jumped into the lake naked, and when a few people arrived, the person had already dressed and left, leaving only some traces of water and a pile of food scraps in place.

This matter was reported layer by layer, causing the entire Wuji Palace to be in an uproar, up to several elders, down to the registered disciples, and there were endless discussions.

"I have been in the palace for countless years, this is the first time that such a shameful thing has happened, after six years of the big exam, this person must be found out, even if he is the prince and grandson of a country, he can't set this precedent, remember!"

"It may be that other sects have taken advantage of the palace master's trip and have not returned, and they want to use this to test our palace protection array, maybe it's not possible. ”

Some elders stood up, their faces flushed, and several elders responded.

......

"The Jade Shadow Nine Swords didn't even find anyone playing in the water, it's too evil, could it be that those big sects want to take advantage of the tide watching day to do something, right?"

"The Jade Shadow Nine Swords have always been in charge of Senior Sister Ink Dyeing, if you have found it, you'd better ask Senior Sister to find out. ”

"Even if the Jade Shadow Nine Swords didn't find it, could it be that the Iron Lock Lotus Array at the bottom of the lake was also blind?"

"It seems...... It's not a good sign. ”

As a disciple of Wuji Palace, he couldn't accept such a thing, and many people almost crushed their steel teeth in secret.

......

Recently, this matter has been in an uproar, but three days later is the tide viewing day of Wuji Palace, when the palace gate will be opened, to welcome tourists from all over the world, and the day of the six-year big exam will also come, Wuji Palace is busy with this matter, and it is not pursued for the time being, only some registered disciples are sent to secretly pay attention to the people who play in the water, and once they are found, there will be no forgiveness.

On this day, Xiao Jiansheng woke up early, and got out of a rich forest diagonally across the bag, he originally planned to wash the long shirt on his body, and wait for the tide viewing day to not be regarded as a meal, these days he also met a few people, inquired about some things about Wuji Palace, the six-year big exam was held during the tide viewing day, then he was more decently dressed.

It's just that when Xiao Jiansheng was still two or three miles away from the lake, he found that a cordon was set up around the lake from a distance, and there were people in uniform patrolling the lake back and forth.

At this time, on the ferry port located directly south of Shenlong Lake, the boats on the lake shuttled back and forth, responsible for picking up tourists from afar, and the tourists near the ferry were obviously several times more than in previous days, Xiao Jiansheng patted the dust on his body slightly, and walked quickly to the ferry.

A large ship that can accommodate hundreds of people is waiting quietly at the ferry, the ferry is already crowded with colorful people, old and young, men and women, all dressed very elegantly, Xiao Jiansheng's extremely ordinary blue coat is a bit of an eyesore in the crowd, fortunately, he will not pay attention to other people's faces, just lower his head and squeeze with the flow of people, and finally at the moment when it is about to be full, Xiao Jiansheng dodged and jumped on the deck.

The big boat started smoothly, and leisurely broke through the lake and headed towards the immortal Wuji Palace.

Xiao Jiansheng stood in the middle of the crowd, admiring the blue lake through the crowd with great interest, and when he listened to the people around him talking and laughing, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.
