"You really don't want to?"

Suzaku couldn't believe it, and asked again.

"I don't want it, you can take it back. ”

After Zhang Ning finished speaking, he really wanted to turn around and leave.

Shi Xin, who was not far away, looked straight in the eyes, "If you want it, how can you not want it?" This sister of mine is frightened by your tall and glorious image, don't be surprised. ”

For fear that Suzaku would really take it back, he trotted all the way, hugged Cai Yan with his left hand, and snatched the tail feathers with his right hand.

"You can't use it for real, this tail feather is only for that little girl. Suzaku let Shi Xin take the tail feathers in his hand and stopped Zhang Ning, "Little girl, you might as well listen to its function first." ”

Zhang Ning didn't look back, shook his head and said, "No need, this tail feather is so important to you, I can't bear to take advantage of others." ”

Only then did Suzaku understand Zhang Ning's thoughts, and his tone became gentle, "Don't get in the way, just a tail feather, I'll come back after a while of cultivation." Moreover, this is the gift you deserve through the trial, and if you don't accept it, you will look down on me. ”

With all that said, Zhang Ning had no choice but to turn around and take the tail feather from Shi Xin's hand.

Suzaku shouted, "Change!"

A special energy slashed across the surface of the tail feathers, and then the shape continued to change, slowly changing from a feather to a five-foot-long sword.

The long sword is fiery red all over, and there is a strong aura coming from it, and it does not belong to the world. The most special thing is that there is a feather tied to the end, and there is a faint flame swimming on it.

Zhang Ning looked at the long sword in front of him with great interest, waiting for Suzaku's explanation.

"This long sword is called the Suzaku Sword, and it is derived from my tail feathers. Sharp and incomparable, it can cut all demons. It already contains the two five elements attributes of gold and fire, which perfectly match your original veins. The original energy of the Vermilion Bird Sword is very powerful, and it can't be controlled at all with your cultivation, so I have banned it, and its strength will increase as your cultivation increases. If one day you can be promoted to a god, the Vermilion Bird Sword will be your other artifact. Also, it can absorb the energy of heaven and earth on its own, and you don't need to worry about its energy running out. ”

Suzaku finished speaking in one breath, and looked at Zhang Ning with interest.

Zhang Ning froze, "Compared to my scales, which one is stronger and which is weaker?"

"Haha, the little girl is so interesting!" Suzaku was full of affection for the naïve Zhang Ning, and replied with a smile, "Your scales are mortal and dead, they will be worn out, and they will no longer be used after serious damage." Which one do you say is stronger or weaker?"

"It seems that the Suzaku Sword is stronger, but I won't abandon my scales. ”

"Who told you to throw away the scales? You can use them together. Do you understand?"

Zhang Ning suddenly became excited, clapped his hands and said, "Hehe, I understand, thank you Suzaku Spirit." ”

"Don't call me a bird?" Suzaku laughed.

Zhang Ning didn't expect that it had already known about this disrespectful title, and his face turned red, "Don't scream, it was a little girl who was rude before." Then he bowed respectfully.

"Alright, I'm leaving, and then the green dragon will test you. ”

Suzaku's mood is a little heavy, although most of this time has been spent in fights, but it has not been in contact with humans for many years, and after getting along, it really likes these children a little. I'm about to return to the spirit world, and I'm really a little reluctant.

Zhang Ning felt Suzaku's sadness, and his mood quickly fell, and he said with tears in his eyes: "If the Vermilion Bird God is fine, he can come down to see us at any time." ”

Suzaku chuckled, "How could our gods come down to the mortal world so easily, if it weren't for an appointment with that person, and you gathered four spirit beads, we wouldn't have met in this life." ”

Shi Xin's heart moved in the next side, and he quietly took over the conversation, "The "person" in the mouth of the gods, is it Wang Mang?"

Suzaku realized that he was speechless for a while, and quickly shook his head and said, "I haven't said anything, I don't know anything." Alright, I'm leaving!"

With that, he shook his body, dropped fifteen feathers, and disappeared into the air.

In the following time, the six of them absorbed the fifteen feathers that Suzaku had fallen and the feathers that had been scraped off their heads during the fight, and their cultivation had made great progress.

In order to maximize the use of resources, Shi Xin used two feathers and raised his rank to the tenth level. The remaining feathers are left for everyone.

On weekdays, Zhang Ning controls the Vermilion Bird Sword to fly back and forth when he has nothing to do, and he can't put it down. Shi Xin taught her some basic sword moves, but the little girl had no talent for this, and she couldn't learn them for a long time, and finally gave up.

She didn't care, she wasn't a close-quarters pulse master in the first place, and learning sword moves was of little use. Find a place to combine the Suzaku Sword and the scales by yourself, and exclamations are often heard.

Before accepting the trial of the green dragon, Shi Xin walked out of the Imperial Tomb and came to the place where he had agreed with Jia Xu to deliver the news before entering the Imperial Tomb. This is a relatively ordinary tree in Lishan, about 20 feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, and a wide coverage.

Shi Xin jumped up the tree and carefully observed each branch. After his search, he finally found a small oil ladle that was tightly clamped to a branch.

This is a special contact method that Jia Xu came up with, the oil ladle can be unloaded, and even if it rains heavily, it will not be washed away or soaked. Moreover, such large trees can be found everywhere, and even if they are searched, they are difficult to find.

The information was collected by the Eagle Department personnel who had newly entered Chang'an, and the most important ones were picked out and passed on to Shi Xin.

The person in charge of doing this didn't know why he had put the oil packet here and who had come to pick it up. This can avoid a lot of trouble, and if he misses and is caught, he can also avoid being discovered.

When I opened the oil packet, I saw that it was a letter written by Jia Xu, dated just three days ago.

The first news came from Chang'an, and Yu Ji's apprentice didn't know when he returned to Chang'an. But since Sima Yi came back, he has not been to the early court, and Yu Ji rarely appears in public except for a trip to Chengdu. The government of Chang'an was handled by Li Ru, Deng Ai, and Zhonghui.

After Xun Yu learned the news, he immediately asked to see him, but he was refused.

This is very abnormal.

Although Sima Yi is an evil sect, he has always been diligent in political affairs. And no matter from which point of view, Xun Yu is an important figure. Not to mention his status and talent, the key is that the timing and motivation of his refuge are very sensitive, is Sima Yi so reassuring of him?

Jia Xu guessed that Sima Yi had an accident. As for what happened, there is no way to know.

Shi Xin guessed that he might have made a mistake when fighting Zhang Daoling, or he was seriously injured.

This is great news for me. Now is the critical period of the trial, and the six of them can't get out. Sima Yi's anomaly gave him a chance to level up with all his might, at least there would be no large-scale war during this time.

The second news came from Yang Xiu in Chengdu.

Yu Ji made a trip to Chengdu two months ago and conveyed the order to expand the army. He also built a blood array exactly like Chang'an under the state governor's mansion, with Pang Tong and Lu Xun managing the affairs here.

In order to show their loyalty, Cao Pi and the newly joined Cao will all enter the Blood Array to cultivate. Of course, Yu Ji would not let go of controlling them through the Taiping Mind Method, Cao Pi and the others gritted their teeth and practiced.

The 50,000 troops led by Xun Yu and Cao Pi were all scattered, and the elite soldiers were left in the ranks of the living, and almost all of them were contributed to the blood array. It is estimated that the living army under the leadership of Yu Ji's apprentice reached 500,000, about 200,000 less than the Shi Xin camp. And the heavenly soldiers and corpse soldiers who have always maintained a veil of mystery are not known for the time being.

Sima Yi also had many experts in governing the army, and Shi Xin had personally experienced Deng Ai's ability. Their soldiers were brutally screened and were no worse than those of the Smith faction. There are also heavenly soldiers and corpse soldiers, which have always been the existence of the strongest troops.

Compared with the overall combat power, Shi Xin does not have much advantage.

Chengdu was bloody during this time, and the smell of blood wafted everywhere, becoming the second Chang'an City. People are in dire straits, frightened, but dare not speak out. Once resisted, regardless of the reason, immediately pull the head to nourish the blood array.

The people in the vicinity of Chengdu received the news and moved away from their hometowns as soon as possible and poured into the city under Shi Xin's rule, despite the pain of being out of town.

Shangyong and Jiangling are both areas where a large number of displaced people have poured in, and Zhou Yu commanded the generals to receive them one by one, and the good words were reciprocated. Those who are willing to join the army join the army according to their quality, and those who are unwilling to join the army move to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou in the rear, divide the fields and land, and give them enough resources to start a new life.

Shi Xin was stunned with the brocade silk, and Yu Ji opened a second blood array, no doubt for the sake of his generals to upgrade as soon as possible. This is to prepare for the next big war.

Zhang Daoling was the only one who could control them, and now that Zhang Daoling was captured, they no longer had any scruples.

The leftover, a Sima Yi in his heyday!

Once Sima Yi came out of the new mountain, the peaceful Han Dynasty would rise again and fall into the whirlpool of war again.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhang Daoling has become the corpse of Yu Ji's apprentice, with a tenth-rank seven-fold cultivation, and his strength is the highest in the Han Dynasty, and even Yu Zhenzi, who is invincible in external merits, is one weight lower than him.

Even if Yu Zhenzi is willing to help him, counting Zuo Ci and Mei Gu, who are highly cultivated but only good at assisting, they are probably not the opponents of Zhang Daoling and Yu Ji.

It's not that they're completely at a disadvantage, Shi Xin's generals are far stronger than them. But this is a temporary advantage, didn't Yu Ji build an extra blood array? Cultivating in the blood array, but it will get twice the result with half the effort.

In other words, there was not much time left for Shi Xin.

After realizing this, Shi Xin finally came to his senses and hurried back to the imperial tomb.

"Everyone, I'm going to start the trial of the green dragon starting tomorrow, are you ready?"

Zhuge Liang noticed Shi Xin's abnormality and said movingly: "Lord, but what happened outside?"

Shi Xin handed over the brocade silk to everyone for circulation, and everyone's faces suddenly became unpleasant.

"The reason why Yu Ji has this series of actions is to prepare for the next big war. I also guess that Zhang Daoling has been turned into a corpse by them, and they have joined forces, and in terms of personal ability, we are at a disadvantage!"

Shi Xin learned that Zhang Daoling had become a corpse from "Tianyantong", so he had to inform everyone of the news through "guessing".

"Lord, we're all ready, let's just start entering the trial today!"

Everyone straightened their chests and threw their hands together.

"Good!"
