Volume 1 Accession to the WTO Chapter 26 The Autumn Wind of the Ancient Road
Heaven and earth sink, stars fall, everything dies, and Hongmeng falls into chaos.
Bursts of wailing sounds, like countless sharp steel needles piercing Lin Hao's eardrums, he couldn't help but cover his ears hard, trying to block out those screams, but suddenly found that he was illusory, no longer physical, just consciousness floating in the sky.
"Where is this?"
Lin Hao muttered to himself, looking around suspiciously, only to see the thick smoke billowing above the earth, and the raging torrent swept between the mountains and rivers like a dragon, constantly devouring the fleeing creatures.
"Lin Hao, why didn't you save us?"
"You could have stopped this, so why did you stay out of it?"
"Lin Hao, you have failed the expectations of all beings, it is you who have pushed the continent to the point of destruction!"
......
Lin Hao listened to the group of Terrans below running towards the sky and kept asking, he was puzzled in his heart, and opened his mouth and shouted: "What did I do wrong, why do you blame me!"
The group of people didn't seem to hear Lin Hao's shouts, and they still ran wildly, but the shouting on their lips never stopped.
Lin Hao didn't realize that he had no entity at this time, but his consciousness was here, how could those people hear his voice.
When he still wanted to plead, a huge crater suddenly fell into the earth in the distance, and countless magma rose into the sky, and the scorching heat seemed to ignite the sky, with a devastating momentum, towards Lin Hao.
Lin Hao backhanded, instinctively wanting to pull out the long sword behind his back, but found that there was nothing behind him, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Lin Hao felt that his eyes were dark and he lost consciousness.
"Young master! Young master......"
I don't know how long it took, Lin Hao seemed to feel that someone was calling him, opened his eyes, and found that it was Chu Tianlan.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Lin Hao touched his forehead and found that there was actually a thin layer of cold sweat on it.
"It didn't take long, but it was about an hour. ”
Chu Tianlan replied casually, and found that Lin Hao's face was pale, and he hurriedly asked with concern: "Young Master, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"
"It's okay, it's just a nightmare!"
Lin Hao waved his hand casually and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Lin Hao was silent, Chu Tianlan didn't say anything more, and gently retreated from the car.
What did this strange dream portend, and what did the words of those people mean? Although Lin Hao didn't care on the surface, his heart was full of doubts.
He unloaded the long sword from his back, removed the sackcloth, and rubbed the black scabbard with his right hand, and found that there was a faint burst of warmth on the blade, and he couldn't help but think to himself, could it be that this strange dream had something to do with this holy sword?
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Hao still didn't come to a conclusion, he didn't bother to bother with this matter anymore, and after wrapping the long sword again, he opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.
"Uncle Chu, where have we been?"
Lin Hao looked around for a while, and saw a neat row of ancient trees on both sides of the road, it was the height of summer, but the ancient trees were full of yellow leaves, and there was no trace of green on the whole body, which dyed the long official road in front of him with a hint of autumn.
The three of them had a cart and a horse, without any attendants, Lin Hao and the others sat on the carriage, and He Guofu drove the horse in front, one was to explore the way, and the other was because it was not good for the bumps of the carriage.
Chu Tianlan held the reins in his hand and was about to answer, but he saw He Guofu in front of him stop and said with a smile: "Lin Shinephew, as a disciple of one of the three emperors of the kamikaze, why don't you even know about the famous Mingyang City, didn't you follow your master and fall into the fault of being above the top!"
Lin Hao didn't argue, smiled slightly, and said: "The little nephew is a newborn calf, and his experience is not as good as that of the city lord He, so he still wants to give advice!"
The three of them traveled all the way, and it has been ten days so far, on the way, Lin Hao sometimes asks questions, but with Chu Tianlan here, He Guofu rarely has the opportunity to show off, it is rare for Lin Hao to take the initiative to ask for advice, He Guofu hurriedly introduced it in order to show his knowledge.
It turned out that the place where the three of them were located was the Autumn Wind Ancient Road not far from Mingyang City, the second largest city in the Divine Wind Country, and the city lord of Mingyang City was the Ancient Autumn Wind who was known as the Three Emperors of the Divine Wind along with Zuo Wenzhao and Chu Tianlan.
The name of the ancient autumn wind comes from the ancient autumn wind road.
Unlike Zuo and Chu, Gu Qiufeng is a martial artist, and he is a emperor-level martial artist who is rare to see in a hundred years!
Compared with the fame of the ancient autumn wind, the ancient autumn wind road in front of you is even more famous in the kamikaze country and even the entire continent.
This ancient road, from the west gate of Mingyang City, stretches straight out for ten miles, its history is extremely long, it is said that it existed before the human race ruled the continent, and has experienced countless baptisms of war, but the floor tiles on the ancient road and the ancient trees on both sides have not been damaged in the slightest.
What's even more bizarre is that the ancient trees on both sides of the road, for thousands of years, have not grown a single point, nor have they become an inch thicker, and the leaves are scorched yellow all year round, but none of them have fallen.
"Did you know that legend has it that these ancient trees are branded with the curse of the gods, and any creature that damages them will be damned!"
He Guofu turned to the side and said to Lin Hao in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Oh, is it really that amazing? Then I'm going to try it!"
Lin Hao said, suddenly rose to the sky, his body suddenly rose several feet high, and his right hand pinched a branch, and he was about to break it off.
"No!"
"No!"
Two loud shouts rang out, one was He Guofu's exclamation, and the other was from the ancient road not far in front of the three of them.
Hearing the sound of cheering in front of them, Chu Tianlan and Lin Hao looked at each other and smiled, He Guofu hurriedly looked back, only to see a figure turned into a streamer, flashing from the ancient road, and instantly arrived in front of Lin Hao.
"Brother Gu, be merciful!"
Although Chu Tianlan knew that Lin Hao would not be injured by the hands of the comer, but on the surface, Lin Hao was just a child of the Sword Sect cultivation after all, in order to hide people's eyes, he still pretended to be eager and stopped the comer.
Hearing Chu Tianlan's shout, the hand knife that the person swung at Lin Hao changed to a claw shape, pinched Lin Hao's right hand, and then kicked his feet in the air a few times, and took Lin Hao to tumble a few times out of thin air before falling to the ground.
The person who came was dressed in a blue and white short fight, full of brown hair, angular cheeks, thick eyebrows and big eyes, high and convex cheekbones, and the strong flesh held up the thin clothes high, and a powerful sense of power was about to come out, which was the ancient autumn wind of Mingyang City Lord.
"I haven't seen him for a few years, and Brother Gu's cultivation has become more and more sophisticated! Without the slightest spiritual power, his body alone can squeeze the air into his pedal, which is really an eye-opener for Brother Wei!"
Chu Tianlan looked at the smiling Gu Qiufeng in front of him, and couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.
"Qingyang He Guofu, I have seen the ancient city lord!"
He Guofu saw that the person who came was Gu Qiufeng, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, bowed his head and saluted, looking very respectful.
"I have this little skill, I can bluff the little ghost, but I can't scare the true god, Brother Chu don't make fun of me anymore. But you, when did you accept such a naughty disciple, knowing that the tree on this ancient road could not be touched, and still tried the fire with your own body, and ignored the admonition of the city lord He, isn't it because you have a long life?"
Gu Qiufeng pinched Lin Hao's right hand and raised it high, and the strength in his hand continued to increase.
Although the force coming from his hand was getting bigger and bigger, Lin Hao felt that Gu Qiufeng was controlling it, so that this force was just enough to make people feel pain without hurting their muscles and bones.
"Ahh
Lin Hao grinned, pretending to be in pain, and begged for mercy loudly.
"Brother Gu, although my inferior is naughty, he is also quite obedient, he knows that he is wrong, so please let him go!" Chu Tianlan was probably worried that Lin Hao's clumsy acting skills would be recognized, so she persuaded him.
"Humph!"
Gu Qiufeng snorted coldly, shook Lin Hao's hand away, and said, "I'll teach you a lesson today, remember not to be reckless in the future, otherwise you will be the one who suffers!"
"Yes, yes, yes!
Lin Hao rubbed his hands and replied repeatedly.
Seeing this, He Guofu on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily: "I told you that those ancient trees can't be touched, you have to touch them, how about it, now you know that it's amazing!"
"What do you know?" Lin Hao asked inexplicably.
"What's so powerful?" He Guofu glanced at Lin Hao and said, "What are you still asking? Look at you, you haven't touched the tree yet, you have suffered such a pass, if you really hurt the tree, then you will not have to die, you know, this is the curse!"
Hearing He Guofu's serious explanation, not only Lin Hao, but even Chu Tianlan and Gu Qiufeng on the side were speechless, looked at each other and smiled, ignoring him anymore.
Chu Tianlan pointed to the ancient path and asked, "Brother Gu, why did you appear here?"
"The matter of Qingyang City, although the younger brother was unable to go in person, he also heard about it, Huang Tong and Aoki died in the kamikaze, Situ Juetian sent his only son to take over the position of chief worship, and feasted the heroes of Qingyang, I am worried that there will be no good banquet, so I am waiting for the eldest brother here, in order to go to the imperial capital with you, just in case!" Gu Qiufeng looked at Chu Tianlan's eyes full of worry.
Chu Tianlan was moved when she heard this, held Gu Qiufeng's hand, and said: "Brother Gu's heart, when my brother's heart is understood, it's just that this trip to the imperial capital is unpredictable, you haven't participated in the battle of Qingyang, you don't have to come to wade into this muddy water!"
"What did Brother Chu say, our kamikaze three emperors are like brothers, brother is in trouble, how can you stand by as a brother, if Situ Yezhen's family wants to deal with you this time, I will never agree, junior brother, it's a big deal to fight with him!"
Gu Qiufeng said, with a determination on his face that looked at death as if he were at home, which made Chu Tianlan speechless for a while, holding his hand tightly, not knowing what to say.
"Two big brothers, don't scare me, how do you feel that the more you talk, the more evil you become?
He Guofu looked at the two of them with a painful face and let out a sigh.
"City Lord He doesn't need to panic, this trip to the imperial capital, that Situ Yezhen won't do anything to us, you can put your heart in your stomach!"
As soon as Lin Hao's words were finished, Gu Qiufeng couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and asked suspiciously, "Why did the nephew say this?"
Lin Hao didn't answer directly, but asked, "Ancient City Lord, I don't know how much you know about the true identity of Huang Tong's worship?"
"Well, as far as I know, Huang Tong is the third disciple under Situ Juetian's throne, and compared to other disciples, Situ Juetian has an extraordinary love for Huang Tong! This is also the reason why I'm worried!" Gu Qiufeng replied with a deep groan.
"The ancient city lord only knows one and doesn't know the other, if the master guesses correctly, this Huang Tong is the illegitimate son of Situ Juetian!" Lin Hao glanced at his eyes and threw out a bombshell.
"What!?"
"What!?"
Gu Qiufeng and He Guofu exclaimed in unison, and a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"Brother Chu, is this true?" Gu Qiufeng came to his senses and asked Chu Tianlan for confirmation.
Seeing Chu Tianlan nodding slightly, the two of them suddenly fell into an ice cave, and even Gu Qiufeng, who was still high-spirited just now, became sluggish.
If they were just facing Situ Yezhen, they might still have a chance to struggle, but if Huang Tong was really Situ Juetian's son, then even if he raised the power of the gods, it would be impossible to escape the sanctions of the "Shura Palace"!
