Luo Xuan, Nie Xiaofeng, Gu Mingjun and Qianyou flew all the way according to the signs on the human skin map, but found that the path gradually went to Shengdun City. There were more and more pedestrians on the ground along the way, and the surrounding area became more and more lively, and it was no longer possible to fly low, so the four of them had to abandon the flight and take steps, and walked into the city like four ordinary people.

Shengdun City is large-scale, densely populated, and the four ports of east, west, north and south are in order, and with the strength of ordinary people's feet, even if they walk for a month, it is impossible to find the missing Hua Ge. Everyone looked for her heartily, and no one cared about the divine emperor's decree prohibiting everyone from using divine energy for a while, Gu Mingjun carried the divine method of "passing through the world in a gap", and the four of them moved step by step, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the entrance of the blood cave marked on the map.

I thought I would see a huge and gloomy jagged cave here, but when I looked up, I saw the most lively and extraordinary heart of the entire Meijian Continent - the Freedom Alliance Hall in the center of Shengdun City.

As its name suggests, the Hall of the Freedom League is composed of six halls with different functions, which are the Hall of Government, the Hall of Law, the Hall of Religion, the Hall of Commerce, the Hall of Military, and the Hall of Medicine, which are in charge of six major areas, including politics, law, science and education, commerce, military aircraft, and medicine. Among them, the five halls of the Dharma Hall, the Sect Hall, the Shang Hall, the Military Hall and the Medical Hall are arranged in the shape of a five-pointed star in order, and they all set off the tallest palace in the alliance - the Political Hall.

The government hall is the center of northern power on the entire Meijian continent, also known as the Independence Palace. Looking down from the sky, the five major palaces of law, religion, commerce, military, and medicine are located on each of the top corners of the five-pointed star, and the entire Shengdun City, which covers an area of 10,000 hectares, is bounded by these six palaces, dividing a place with strict guards and outstanding outstanding.

Between the stars of each palace is a large lush garden, with plants and flowers in the garden that are constantly clustered in the center of the Independence Palace, and the color of each garden is also made of pure white Chinese stone.

Since its birth, this Freedom Alliance Palace, which integrates six palaces, has stood in Shengdun City for nearly 400 years, and is a well-known historical treasure on the Meijian Continent.

Nie Xiaofeng stood under the tall iron fence outside the garden of the Freedom Alliance Palace, leaning inside to look inside. It was the afternoon in front of us, and the sun was about to set in another hour, and it stands to reason that today's sun should have been on duty for a long time, but at this moment the heaven and earth were dark and gloomy.

The tall sun was buried in the depths of the sky by the clouds of mountains, and countless dazzling forks of lightning rolled on the horizon in the distance.

From time to time, there were bursts of melodious melodies in the garden, and a large number of well-dressed and excited young people walked around the lawn, dining table and stone platform in the garden, holding tall red wine glasses with gold inlaid chassis, chatting and laughing.

The garden is filled with flowing water banquets and tall rows of buffet food tables, and a number of white-clothed waiters carry golden colorful food plates to shuttle through the crowd, serving all kinds of fine wines, fruit soups, chocolate soups and hot oven pastries.

The interweaving of piano, major and violin, the classic instruments of the Western Regions, accompanied by the dramatic notes of the Ellan pan flute, pours out from every corner of the Union Garden from time to time.

Nie Xiaofeng looked up at the people who were frowning, and said suspiciously:

"This is obviously a banquet, how can it be the entrance to the Blood Ancestor Cave?

Luo Xuan quietly observed the situation in the garden, this garden is not simple, although it seems to be just a delicate and gorgeous human forest garden, in fact, the upper, lower, left, and right of the entire alliance hall, including the air, are covered with fishy unnamed obstacles, if you break in, it will definitely make the people who set the obstacles aware of it.

What's more, as soon as he sniffed it, he knew that the smell of blood on this force barrier was exactly the same as the smell of blood left on the soup bowl in the black shop.

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor under his feet, Luo Xuan, Gu Mingjun, and Qianyou looked down at the same time, it turned out that the entire ground was shaking slightly inexplicably, and soon regained calm.

Luo Xuan frowned and looked at the sky, the blue sky was white, the time was strong, it was still early before the sun went down, but the blood-red huge moon was climbing inch by inch towards the center of the sky at an astonishing speed.

The people in the garden were not completely unaware of what had just happened, and many young people turned their heads to look at each other, and in the blink of an eye, they began to talk and laugh again.

Luo Xuanyi glanced around the garden, only to see a young attendant put down his work and asked another older guard next to a flowing water seat:

"David, was there an earthquake just now?"

"Impossible, I have lived in Shengdun City for more than forty years, although it is near the sea, the geology is solid, and the bottom is all granite formations, and this is the most unlikely earthquake on the entire Meijian Continent. ”

Luo Xuan listened carefully, and saw the young man nodding from a distance, looking around, and then asked David:

"It's strange, in the past, the generals invited all the secretaries and old ministers from the five major joint halls in the city, but tonight's banquet, why are all the young men and women invited? I heard that this time, the unmarried young people under the age of twenty in the entire Shengdun City, including dozens of villages in the suburbs, have all received invitations, is the general going to hold a red luan party for Shengdun City?"

"Hey, you don't know, General Wo Shengdun was still suppressing the rebels in the south and didn't come back at all. The host of this banquet is his nephew, Master Williams, who else can you invite at William's age? It is estimated that he wants to chase the young lady of the secretary of state, and intends to have a party and go through the motions. ”

The young attendant let out an "oh", put the hot stove snacks on the table in front of him one by one, and picked them up to leave, when the older attendant patted him on the shoulder and commanded:

"John, don't be too tired, this feast will be held for two days and two nights, tomorrow is the official festival, the highlight is tomorrow night, today is just a reservation. ”

The young squire turned around happily, just as a more violent tremor erupted from the depths of the earth, which shook the foundations of the entire Victory Shield City, and this time, it lasted for about half a pillar of incense.

The young men singing and dancing in the garden finally began to panic, and one by one they formed a party to leave, when Williams, the host of the banquet, ascended to a snow-white ivory platform high on the lawn and began to greet the people with a smile on his face.

In the eulogy, the organizer patiently emphasized that the geology of Shengdun City is special three times, and there has never been an earthquake, so please don't worry about Yunyun. After a while, the earth returned to calm, and the guests were relieved again, and people stood on the verdant lawn in twos and threes, and raised their wine glasses to the host of the banquet, William, as a sign of gratitude for being invited.

Nie Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he saw that the dozen or so Meijian students they met in the black shop a few days ago who were conducting a field trip were also among the people who were invited. She deliberately looked around, but there was no trace of the gray-robed old assistant everywhere.

The guards at the gate of the garden are even more strange, for those who come with invitations, whether young or old, they will be welcomed into the garden, and as long as people from outside come to visit, they will be actively pulled by the guards, asking long and short questions, some are directly put into the garden to participate in the party, and some are taken away on the spot, without mercy.

Luo Xuan noticed that most of the women who were put into the garden were younger women, and the girls who went in were all ecstatic, as if they had picked up a big bargain, while the men and women standing on the periphery of the garden were all looking at each other and sighing with a depressed expression.

The strangest thing was the question that the garden guards asked the women:

"Have you ever been married?"

If the woman answered no, she was immediately put into the garden, and if she did, she was asked the following strange question:

"Do you hate your husband?"

If the women replied, the garden guards would then ask why they hated? The women's answers were different, and the guards nodded frequently, and some of the women were let in after answering, and some of the women who replied: they thought he didn't make much money, they thought he was useless, they thought he was short, and so on, and they were all turned away.

Luo Xuan listened for a long time, then turned around and pointed to the red dot on the human skin map to signal everyone, and said in a low voice:

"You see, the red dot is shining brightly, indicating that this is the bull's-eye, and there are unknown obstacles all over it. ”

Nie Xiaofeng looked left and right, and saw Gu Mingjun and Qianyou nodding their heads in response to Luo Xuan, Nie Xiaofeng said:

"But we don't have an invitation, how can we enter the park?"

Luo Xuan rolled up the map and put it in his arms: "Since you are here, you must always explore the truth and reality." I think the purpose of this banquet is to recruit suitable people to enter, and the screening is not strict, so why don't we try our luck as passers-by. Remember, when the doorman asks, we're both unmarried. ”

Everyone nodded, and the four of them made a rash appearance of giggling and laughing, and walked shoulder to shoulder to the front porch of the tall garden of the Freedom League Hall. The two guards guarding the door saw four more young men and women coming, looked at each other with a smile, and asked them one by one as usual:

"Are you married?"

四人纷纷将脑袋摇得拨浪鼓般，乾祐和顾铭君通过征询，被率先放进花园，顾铭君打探华歌的行踪心切，一入园便拽着乾祐钻进了熙熙攘攘的人群。

Luo Xuan and Nie Xiaofeng were still outside, and when they saw that they would disappear when they said they would disappear, they couldn't help but glance at each other anxiously.

The doorman looked Nie Xiaofeng up and down and asked:

"Are you married?"

"Nope. ”

The doorman quickly glanced at Luo Xuan behind her, suddenly lifted her right wrist, pointed to Luo Xuan's left wrist with one hand, and asked in a loud voice:

"I'm not married, so what is this?"

Luo Xuan suddenly took a step forward, instinctively wanting to push away the guard who was grabbing Nie Xiaofeng's wrist, but it was inappropriate to think about it again, and his heart couldn't help but be blocked for a while.

Nie Xiaofeng was also stunned, it turned out that the two jade cicadas tied around her and Luo Xuan's wrists were still looking at each other, she hurriedly rolled down her long sleeves to cover the jade cicada, and explained:

"An ornament, I don't know what it is. ”

Another doorman, who had been observing the two from the side, laughed when he saw this:

"Thom, you really don't know, this thing is called Shuangyu Cicada, it is a very popular couple token in the East, I bet with you, the two of them are either husband and wife, or lovers, ask in vain!"

When the doorman carrying Nie Xiaofeng heard this, he immediately pushed her back, turned around and was about to close the two main gates of the garden, and shouted:

"It's full! You're not qualified, go somewhere else to have fun!"

Nie Xiaofeng was pushed and stumbled, and was crashing into Luo Xuan's arms, Luo Xuan hurriedly stabilized her waist, and just wanted to attach a few words to comfort her in her ear and say that she had other ways to take her into the garden unconsciously, but Nie Xiaofeng quickly turned around and stared at him with red eyes.

Luo Xuan's scalp was inexplicably numb by her staring, and he was about to speak, only to hear a crisp and loud slap sound of "pop", and Nie Xiaofeng raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

Luo Xuan was stunned by this sudden slap, Nie Xiaofeng was already in tears, his jade fingers stretched out, poked straight at his face, and cried loudly:

"You ruthless fellow! You are afraid that the neighbors will find out about your ugly deeds, so you actually shut me up in a cold stone house! You have not come to see me once when you have been pregnant for ten months, and after the birth of the child, you beat me and scolded me, and kicked me out of the house three or four times, don't you just dislike me for being from a poor background? What's wrong with my mother being a weaver? I don't look down on you! Are you great at opening a medicine shop? Is it great to have a mountain? I am not rare when you are a rich man! I am not rare! I will return this tattered token to you, and use it to coax other women!"

As he spoke, Nie Xiaofeng tearfully tore off the double jade cicadas on his wrist, smashed them into Luo Xuan's arms with unmistakable accuracy, turned around and knocked away the two stunned guards, and rushed into the garden with tears.

Luo Xuan covered his face with one hand, held the double jade cicada in the other, and stared directly at Nie Xiaofeng, who had begun to run around in the garden. The two guards glanced at him in disgust at the same time, shook their heads, turned around and were about to close the door again, Luo Xuan hurriedly stretched out his feet to block the garden gate, and begged:

"Two big brothers, the woman inside stole a lot of silver tickets from me, so let me in!"

"Everyone has given you a baby, what's wrong with taking some of your silver?

The younger doorman was the first to lose his breath and pressed against the door relentlessly.

"No, no, you don't understand, I'm a person with a wife, I can't recognize her birth! She ran back several times when she drove her out, and last time she stole my family's silver warehouse, I chased all the way to the Western Regions, but she hooked up with the two people in front of me, in order to recover the silver ticket, I pretended to reconcile with her, and promised to marry her when I went back. Two officials, our lords, who is not fishy in this kind of unfortunate thing? Can you be accommodating and let me go in to chase tickets? . . . ”

The young doorman glared at Luo Xuan, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was already speechless with anger, while the older doorman flew out of the door frame and roared:

"Bastard! Monogamy is the will of Christ God, the oath of equality of all beings! You have a wife, but you let other women conceive for you in October, bear the hardships and shame, may God punish you! People spit on you! Get out!!"

Luo Xuan pretended to be kicked, lowered his head and retreated.

The two iron gates of the garden "pound long" slammed shut and shook the sky like anger and resentment, and the unique scolding sounds of the Western Regions, such as "Fake!" (FUCK/bastard), "Dick!" (DICK/Bad Seed), "ASSHOLE!" (SCUM/garbage) and other unique scolding sounds in the Western Regions continued to come from behind the door.

Luo Xuan took Nie Xiaofeng's jade cicada into his arms, walked down the fine iron fence of the garden, looking for her traces in the garden all the way, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - after his later incitement, even if the two guards had suspected Nie Xiaofeng before, they would no longer bother to trouble her in the garden.
