The cold sunlight of the Great Snow Mountain, through the sparse cedars in the forest, shone on Wu Que and Zhang Xuezhu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

One of them rode a black wolf, the other a snow wolf, and looked up at a rock beside the trail.

On the rock, the 16 words that Wu Que saw when he climbed the mountain yesterday had been scraped clean, leaving no trace of handwriting.

"It turns out that someone really carved here, I walked too fast yesterday and didn't even see it. Hey, what's carved on it?" Zhang Xue asked, looking at the rock in surprise.

Wu Que struggled to control his emotions and said, "What is carved, I walked too fast, and I didn't see clearly." ”

"Really?" Zhang Xue turned his head to look at Wu Que, his face full of disbelief.

Wu Que hurriedly changed the topic: "Ask me to help you find your daughter, you have to give you a direction." ”

Zhang Xuezhu took out two strange-shaped turtle shells from the pocket of the snow fox's fur clothes, and threw them casually, and the turtle shells fell into the snow.

Pointing to one of the turtle shells, Zhang Xuezhu said: "It points to the east, we should go east." ”

Then he pointed to the second turtle shell and said, "This one is just a palm away from the first turtle shell, wait for me to see where it is." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xue took out a large animal skin from the bag he was carrying and slowly opened it.

The rivers and mountains on the animal skin are vivid, and it turned out to be a detailed map.

Zhang Xue stretched out his palm, compared it on the animal skin map, and said, "Oh, it turns out that the great Yuangu Ying God instructed us to go to the 'Ancient Key'. ”

Wu Que was dumbfounded, and blurted out: "It turns out that you are really a fortune teller!"

Zhang Xue turned his head and saw Wu Que's expression, and said unhappily: "Yes, you, don't you believe it?"

Wu Que was taken aback, and hurriedly nodded: "Believe, believe, I believe!" At the same time, he thought: Can I not believe it? Do I dare not believe it?

So Wu Que, who didn't dare to believe it, obediently followed behind Zhang Xuezhu and set off towards the "ancient key".

The two of them left the Great Snow Mountain, stayed overnight, and went all the way to the east, and along the way, the man in black, who was very scared and worried to both of them, did not appear again.

Wu Que also ate the 8th Innate Ying that he got from the Nightless King in the Innate Valley, and began to cultivate the first form of "Demon God Refining Body" of "Momentum Like Fire and Water".

In addition to cultivating "as powerful as fire and water", he took out the blue star that Zhang Xue Lord "gifted" him from time to time and studied it repeatedly.

After two more extreme weariness deep into his soul, and almost smashing two large holes in the soles of his feet, he finally figured it out:

It turned out that the strange "little bubbles" that spit out of his mind could "blow up" the sapphire blue star into a trace of almost imperceptible cracks when they burst; once the sapphire blue star appeared this crack, it would suddenly become extremely heavy; but the sapphire blue star was blown out by the bubbles, and the crack could only last for an extremely short time, and then it would disappear quickly; once the crack disappeared, the sapphire blue star would return to its normal weight.

At the same time, Wu Que found that since he became a "tired fish that spits bubbles", the pieces of "starry sky" hanging on the bones in his body like fish scales suddenly had some kind of vague mystical connection with him.

After discovering these strange things, Wu Que couldn't put down Baolanxing.

Every time Zhang Xuezhu saw Wu Que dangling in front of his eyes with the sapphire blue star, his eyes would always flash with a light of resentment;

It has been more than 20 days since I left the Great Snow Mountain, and I have passed through several prosperous towns.

At noon on this day, the two came to a big city with green mountains and green waters and beautiful scenery, and this big city is the "ancient key" city!

The prosperity of the ancient key city is far beyond Wu Que's imagination, the streets of the city are crisscrossed, the streets are bustling with pedestrians, and the exquisite weapons, rare medicinal herbs and strange treasures in the city can be seen everywhere, countless.

Wu Que followed behind Zhang Xuezhu, walking around the city, dizzy and dry-mouthed, but he still couldn't see Zhang Xuezhu's slightest intention of stopping.

Wu Que finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Hey, why don't we find an inn to rest first." ”

"No, I don't. Zhang Xue looked left and right and refused.

Wu Que had no choice but to shut up and continue to walk around with her.

After turning a few more streets, Wu Que couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Hey, what are you looking for?" Tell me, I'll help you find it." ”

"I don't know. Zhang Xuezhu replied very simply.

Wu Que suddenly froze.

Zhang Xuezhu rode the snow wolf slowly on the street, his eyes swept over the buildings on both sides of the street, and suddenly patted the snow wolf, stopped, and looked at a beautiful courtyard on the side of the street.

This courtyard is taller and more spacious than the surrounding houses, and a pair of mighty stone beasts squatting in front of the vermilion gate, showing the extraordinary identity of the owner of the courtyard.

The voice roared angrily, faintly coming from the open vermilion gate of the cave: "Xiao Demigod, this is the third time that your prophecy has failed......!

Xiao Demigod!?Why is there a demigod here!?Wu Que looked at Zhang Xue Master in surprise.

Zhang Xuezhu patted the snow wolf and walked towards the vermilion courtyard.

Wu Que followed Zhang Xuezhu into the courtyard and found that the courtyard was already crowded with sturdy cultivators.

Someone saw Zhang Xuezhu and Wu Que coming in, glanced at them indifferently, and then turned his head to look under the big tree in the courtyard.

Wu Que and Zhang Xue were riding their mounts, a head taller than these people, and they were behind the crowd and looked inside.

Under the big tree, a burly man in a blood-colored robe, holding a thick iron rod, angrily pointed at an old man with white hair and white beard lying on the ground.

Behind the old man, behind a few quaint stone tables, stood a row of trembling men, women, and children.

"Please calm your anger, please tell the Holy King, give me another chance, one last chance, this time I will accurately predict, I will definitely ......" The white-haired old man looked at the Janissary who was holding an iron rod, pleading bitterly.

The Praetorian Guard looked at the white-haired old man and said, "The Holy King said that he will not only give you one last chance, but also the last ten chances and a hundred chances, he can give them!"

The white-haired old man and the men, women, and children behind the stone table were all overjoyed, and the white-haired old man hurriedly said, "Thank you......"

The Praetorian Guard interrupted the white-haired old man's words and said, "How many chances you will give depends on how many people there are in your courtyard." ”

"Janissary, what do you mean?" the white-haired old man's face suddenly changed, and he asked hesitantly.

The Praetorian Guard turned his head and glanced at a shirtless man with a broadsword behind him.

Wu Que found that this janissary was wearing a blood-colored mask, revealing only a pair of radiant eyes.

The shirtless man strode behind the stone table and grabbed a teenage girl, who was so frightened that she cried and collapsed to the ground.

The shirtless man dragged the little girl backwards and strode back to the guards.

The guard looked at the white-haired old man and said coldly: "Demigod Zhang, how much respect the Holy King respects you on weekdays! But you, your predictions have been wrong three times in a row, and many of our brothers have not come back yet! The Holy King said, one person, change a chance! Count it out, you still earned it! Fang Yong, cut this little girl for me!"

"Ho!" the shirtless man shouted, raising the big knife in his hand.

"Daddy save me, Grandpa save me......" The little girl was so frightened that she cried out loud.

"Xiao Yun!" A pair of middle-aged men and women behind the stone table rushed out.

"Bang! bang!" A burly man rushed out quickly, kicked the middle-aged man and woman to the ground.

The woman immediately fainted, and the man stretched out his hand to the little girl and slowly crawled over, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

The white-haired old man closed his eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"'Ancient Key', born in three days!" A cold voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

Wu Que turned his head in surprise and looked at Zhang Xuezhu, who suddenly spoke.

There was silence in the courtyard, and people turned their heads to find the source of the sound.

"Who is it?" the Praetorian Guard's expression changed drastically, his eyes swept away, and he asked sharply.

The imminent birth of the Ancient Key is a great secret, and no more than 5 people in the entire Ancient Key City, including the guards themselves, will know about it.

"It's me. Zhang Xuezhu said again.

The crowd "snorted" out of the way, revealing Zhang Xuezhu and Wu Que behind the crowd.

Someone "clanged" and closed the vermilion gate.
