Chapter 271: Rivalry (1)
"The murder of Brother Garamo has not yet been revealed, and now if you go back with me, many disciples will criticize it. Ji Shenlian sighed: "It's still the junior brother who is well-thought-out, and you will be able to return to the Divine Mountain with a clean body before you can make a difference." ”
Xu Chen replied: "Then what does Uncle Tai mean, the apprentice grandson should go to Xuanhu Mountain to see the wind Qianxun first?"
In fact, he also wanted to go to Xuanhu Mountain first, firstly, because he believed in Uncle Tai's arrangement, and secondly, because he hadn't seen his master Nangong Muyang for more than a year, he was very worried in his heart.
"Well, since the junior brother asked him to forward the letter, it was naturally everything planned in advance. Don't listen to the rumors about Brother Feng Xian, saying that he is addicted to wine, and you think that he is a mediocre person, but in fact, he is more obscure, and he is actually a wise and resourceful person. If you go to Xuanhu Mountain, I believe he will be able to clear your grievances. ”
Hearing Uncle Tai's words, Xu Chen became more and more relieved, and even secretly decided that this time he would go up the mountain to make his own request to Feng Qianxun, that is, to allow the master to return to the mountain with him.
At this time, Ji Shenlian took out a golden rune paper from his arms, folded it into a red-crowned crane in three or five strokes, and then he recited a spell and blew on the paper crane, and it immediately came to life and spread its wings and flew into the air.
Seeing the paper crane flapping its wings and getting bigger and bigger, in the end, it turned into a giant bird with a wingspan of dozens of zhang long, Xu Chen's eyes were straight, and he praised: "Uncle Taishi can actually use such exquisite spells!"
Ji Shenlian smiled and made a gesture to the paper crane, and it closed its wings and stopped beside Xu Chen as ordered.
Ji Shenlian said: "You ride up, it will take you directly to Xuanhu Mountain." ”
Xu Chen hurriedly kowtowed to Uncle Taishi to thank him, and the two of them parted under the moonlight, and then the red-crowned crane let out a long roar and took Xu Chen straight into the sky.
Along the way, he walked through clouds and mist, and Xu Chen couldn't see the terrain and appearance below clearly.
After about a day's work, the red-crowned crane descended, Xu Chen could already vaguely see the outline of the majestic mountain under the clouds, he knew that he was about to reach his destination, and was wondering if the paper crane would take him directly to the Kaiyang Palace where Feng Qianxun lived, but saw the red-crowned crane stop in a secluded place at the foot of the mountain.
"It seems that Xuanhu Mountain, like my Zongwu Mountain, has some kind of special enchantment protection, so this paper crane can't take me up the mountain. Xu Chen, who got off the crane's back, muttered in a low voice, and was surprised to see that the red-crowned crane's body shrank smaller and smaller, and finally returned to its original rune paper appearance.
He couldn't help but praise Uncle Taishi's spell again, but before he could bend down to pick up the paper crane as a souvenir, it had already caught fire and burned, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of ashes and scattered with the wind.
At this time, it was already early morning, and the cold north wind was blowing in his face with a murderous aura, and Xu Chen suddenly felt that he couldn't resist the cold.
He raised his head and frowned at the mist-shrouded Xuanhu Mountain halfway up his waist, and suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart, but no matter what kind of ending awaited him, Xu Chen knew that he was going to go up the mountain in person.
Before Xu Chen could decide whether to go up the mountain openly, or wait until the middle of the night to sneak into Kaiyang Palace along the old road that Song Wuji had taken last time, he had already heard messy footsteps running towards this side behind him.
Xu Chen hurriedly turned around and looked, his eyes were like lightning, and the light flashed in an instant.
"Who is the thief who dares to spy on my Xuanhu Divine Mountain without permission?" A group of people appeared in front of Xu Chen, and the leader of the group immediately changed his face, stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be Brother Xu Xian, why didn't you come and go directly to the pass avenue?"
Seeing that the person who spoke was Xiao Lang, Feng Qianxun's confidant, Xu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "It turned out to be Brother Xiao, I'm ashamed, I haven't come to Xuanhu God for a long time."
Mountain, I can't even remember the road. ”
"Hehe, go to Kaiyang Palace with me, Your Highness has been waiting anxiously, if you don't show up today, I'm afraid he will send me down the mountain to meet you. ”
Xu Chen said in his heart: "It seems that Feng Qianxun invited me to go up the mountain this time, and the disciples of Xuanhu Mountain have already known about it. In this way, he sincerely wants to help me clear my name. ”
Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and followed Xiao Lang up the mountain together.
Looking along the road, there are heavily armed Xuanhu Mountain soldiers patrolling, revealing a tense atmosphere everywhere, Xu Chen knows that now is the time when the war between gods and demons is rekindled, Xuanhu Mountain is located in the rear, although it has not been disturbed by the demon army for the time being, but it is also wise to take precautions in advance.
But there were still some discordant noises that made Xu Chen a little unhappy, that is, those soldiers who walked by head-on, when they saw Xu Chen, although they were silent, Xu Chen could clearly see the deep hostility in their eyes.
If it were in the past, Xu Chen would definitely be angry in his heart, and maybe he would have a seizure on the spot.
But now when he thought that Feng Qianhiro was about to administer justice for himself, he no longer felt wronged, and calmly faced the cold eyes of these fellow clansmen.
As the golden-armored warrior on duty pushed open the closed door, Xu Chen saw at a glance that Feng Qianxun was wearing the golden mask that made the demons smell the wind and sit on the golden chair.
He quickly adjusted his mood and followed Xiao Lang into the hall with great strides.
The stairs were full of Protoss generals, and Xu Chen just glanced at them, and from the star symbol on their shoulders, he could sense that the lowest of these people also had the cultivation of the Void Realm.
He couldn't help but say to himself: "Is it just to welcome me with such a big formation?"
Thinking about it like this, Xu Chen couldn't help but get nervous again, knowing that although he already had the cultivation of the Xuantian Realm, he was still only the title of a god warrior, and Feng Qianxun made him feel ashamed of such a luxurious pomp.
Finally came to the throne, Xu Chen was about to salute the wind according to the rules of the Protoss, but suddenly found that the leader on the right seemed to be staring at him, and his eyes almost didn't blink.
Xu Chen subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and was immediately surprised to find that this person was also wearing a mask like Feng Qianxun, but the mask of this Protoss general was made of sterling silver.
Xu Chen couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange, I only heard that the god king of Xuanhu Mountain is qualified to wear a mask, why is there another person who wears a mask here?"
Although I don't know where this person came from, seeing him standing at the forefront of the generals, Xu Chen couldn't guess that this person's identity was not ordinary, and he was thinking about whether to say hello to him after the next Jin meeting, when he heard Feng Qianxun say in the hall: "Xu Chen, you are really a great god, if it weren't for Brother Song's handwritten letter, I'm afraid that this hill won't be able to invite you." ”
His voice had a kind of old age and hoarseness that did not match his age, and at the same time, Xu Chen felt a little surprised when he heard it, because he seemed to hear some hostility from it.
Xu Chen didn't dare to think about it, he settled down and said: "Your Highness's words make Zai Cheng fearful, I was originally guilty, if you weren't willing to summon Zaixia, I would not dare to go up the mountain to disturb even if I had a hundred dares." ”
"Hahahaha!" Feng Qianxun was amused by Xu Chen's words, he looked at the generals under the stairs and said: "I really didn't expect it, Xu Chen has not only learned a lot of skills in the past year or so, but also learned a lot of human feelings. ”
Then he said sarcastically: "More than half a year ago, when you broke into the sacred mountain at night, why didn't you think to come to the palace to ask for peace to Lone?"
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Xu Chen immediately blushed, so he had to bite the bullet and say:
"I didn't do anything before, and I hope the prince can forgive me for my recklessness. ”
"Hehe, Lone is just joking with you, why do you care?" Feng Qianxun smiled and said, "Since you have come, return Brother Song's letter to me." ”
Xu Chen's face turned even redder, and he muttered, "I'm incompetent, and the letter was robbed by Jiuyao's thieves halfway. ”
"What, Jiuyao hasn't moved for more than half a year, and now they're moving again?" Feng Qianhiro was startled, and people almost had to get up from their chairs.
"Yes, they have never stopped, and they have suffered a lot of losses. Xu Chen nodded and told everyone about his previous experience.
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Qianhiro took the lead in applauding: "Okay, well done! Now that Brother Ji has returned to Zhenwu Mountain, do we still need to be afraid of those thieves of the demon clan?"
The man wearing the silver mask also stepped forward and said enviously: "Xu Chen killed the two leaders of Jiuyao in one fell swoop, which can be said to have greatly reduced Jiuyao's spirit, and really raised the prestige of my god clan. ”
Hearing this person praise himself, Xu Chen couldn't help but look pale, but his face immediately became gloomy.
Because at this time, a god general in the hall stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, although Xu Chen got rid of the two thieves of Jiuyao, he used the power of demons, if this matter spreads, it will damage the reputation of my god clan." ”
His words were polite, and immediately another Xuantian Realm cultivator of the War Saint came out and said: "Since the ancients, the demon swear will not stand together, Xu Chen's move is tantamount to betraying the interests of my god clan!"
After hearing this, everyone felt that he was reasonable, and for a while, some people came out to accuse Xu Chen, and the hall exploded.
Xu Chen saw that everyone slandered himself like this, and he was angry that his fists were clenched "gurgling", originally he wanted to ask Feng Qianxun about the master's current situation, but now he didn't even have a chance to speak.
Feng Chihiro sat in silence on the golden chair, he listened absentmindedly, and suddenly sighed deeply.
The general wearing the silver mask immediately sensed Feng Chihiro's true thoughts at this moment, and said: "All living beings in the world are equal, and they have always been divided by good and evil.
The war saint who spoke earlier suddenly snorted coldly and retorted: "The demon clan has always been vicious and cruel, although it was defeated by our human race thousands of years ago, but the heart of the human race has never disappeared, this position, even the enemy's side has not changed, how can it be because of Brother Ren's words to turn war into jade silk?"
Another god echoed: "You haven't learned the methods of monsters, and you have heard of them. What they are best at is to create illusions and lure the world with wealth and beauty, and from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have followed their way. Little Brother Xu, don't look at that old demon and evil man who helped you, maybe this is his ghost trick, and it will end up being a big conspiracy against my god clan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another old man came out and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Lu is not bad. The terrible thing about youkai is that they use all kinds of tricks to harm people's lives. Xu Chen, since you dare to go to Xuanhu Mountain to prove your innocence, of course I believe that you are a righteous man and a gentleman, but how can you not distinguish between good and evil at this critical juncture? It is better to hand over the gourd that imprisoned the old demon to His Royal Highness to deal with, so that everyone will be convinced, and there will be no more gossip. ”
"Yes, that's right!"
"Yes, hand over the gourd quickly, Your Highness will deal with it impartially!"
"If you don't pay it, it means that there is a ghost in your heart!"
Everyone was gossiping, except for Silver Mask and Xiao Lang who kept silent, everyone else was urging Xu Chen to hand over the gourd and draw a line with the evil one.
