Chapter 920: Broken Arrow
"Yo, this is to let the old man hand in a letter of nomination first, the trip to the spirit star is a test of the old man! It's okay, I don't let you see the old man's ability, you can't rest assured, the old man will promise you, I will let someone send you a token when I go back, take it, I dare to guarantee that no one will dare to say a word to you even if you kill the juniors of the Nangong family." How is it? Are you satisfied now?" Chen Yunzi was tone was a little ridiculous, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with Lu Yi, the little fox.
"Okay, let's make a decision, the kid will go back as soon as possible, the two behind me, and the old-timers will also trouble the old-timers to keep them, well, just stay until I return from the Spirit Star." Lu Yi achieved his goal and smiled very charmingly.
"Don't worry, the two of them are already under my control, and I will try my best to set up their bottom during the time you are gone, so that you can feel at ease. Chen Yunzi said.
At that moment, Lu Yi turned around and returned to the inn and called Lin and Li to set off immediately. When the three of them came to the teleportation array, they saw from a distance that the three monks on duty in the teleportation array were standing respectfully next to a middle-aged man, and when the middle-aged man saw Lu Yi coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, completely ignoring his identity as a monk in the early stage of spiritual building, "Master Lu, the old man asked me to give this thing to Gongzi." The spiritual monk named Liu Kaitian respectfully presented a jade box with his hands, and the second monk who looked at Lin and Li was puzzled, I don't know when Lu Yi actually met the big man in the Western Regions again, so that such a spiritual monk who is not below him at all can be so groveling, the old man in that mouth seems to have a very high status, otherwise he would not be able to casually drive a monk in the early stage of spiritual building to do things for him.
Lu Yi took the jade box and put it away without looking at it, and said to Liu Kaitian: "I'm tired of Senior Liu, I want to set off to Lingxing City immediately, and ask the senior to open the teleportation array to send the junior a ride." β
Seeing that Lu Yi was so polite, Liu Kaitian hurriedly shook his hand, "Master Lu, don't be so polite to me, Liu can't afford it, can't afford it! What do you need, just give the order, here and in the entire Western Regions, except for the old man, your words are best in Liu's ears, and you will have nothing to say about what you want Liu to do in the future." β
Liu Kaitian was so polite to Lu Yi, but at the same time, he turned his face and said to the three of them seriously: "The teleportation array is ready, right? "The speed of that face change is almost faster than turning a book.
The three of them were submissive, and the leader of them hurriedly replied, "Lord Liu, the teleportation array has already been prepared, just waiting for the arrival of the child." β
Liu Kaitian hummed with a smile, turned his face and smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Yi, "Master Lu, why don't you accompany Gongzi Liu?"
"No need, thank you Senior Liu for your kindness, the kid will go back as soon as he goes, it won't be a big deal." Lu Yi was still very polite.
"Look, isn't the son seeing the outside again, you can just call me Lao Liu in the future, and if you take another bite of a senior, Liu will be tormented. Liu Kaitian hurriedly stopped Lu Yi from calling himself senior, looking at that expression was very frightened, it shouldn't seem to be pretending, maybe Chen Yunzi had already said something to him.
Lu Yi looked around, and saw that there were already a lot of people waiting in front of the teleportation array, all of them showed anxious expressions, no need to ask, these people were all waiting to use the teleportation array, but in order to reflect Lu Yi's status, the teleportation array had been stopped before Lu Yi's arrival, which showed Liu Kaitian's intentions. Many people also saw what was happening on the side of the teleportation array, and they were whispering about Lu Yi's identity, guessing what kind of big person he was, so that a spiritual monk could nod his head like this for a sixth-order monk.
In fact, Lu Yi and Liu Kaitian were greeting here, both of them tacitly, this was also deliberately done for outsiders to see, seeing that the goal was basically achieved, Lu Yi stopped talking nonsense, and stepped into the teleportation array with a shocked look on their faces.
Lu Yi left, but he didn't know that at this moment, in the place of a hundred zhang under the teleportation array, there was a small stone room, and the stone room was divided into thirteen directions and opened thirteen stone gates, and the thirteen stone gates corresponded to the city gate of the jade city, and each stone gate was inlaid with a gem that was completely different from the gem on the city gate, but the volume was slightly smaller, in the middle of the stone room, an old man with white hair was sitting cross-legged, playing with a jade Ruyi in his hand, and muttered to himself: " What an interesting little guy, he actually brought the legendary chaos jade, and I don't know if he really understands the origin of this chaos jade, no matter what, since he has seen this thing, the old man has to protect his safety if he says anything. I just hope that he can really be the one who bears great luck, and can afford this important task related to the mainland, according to his cultivation, this son should not be bad, the old man will first gamble on the net worth of the Western Regions, and see what his ability is!"
If Lu Yi heard these words, he would definitely be surprised, for so many years, this was the first outsider to see through the chaotic jade.
Lu Yi's current location is not the capital of the Lingxing Kingdom, but an acropolis more than three hundred miles away from the capital Starlight City, although it is just an ordinary acropolis, but it is also completely built by the star stone, and a look at the complex runes on the star stone knows that this city has a good formation, and this acropolis is not big, but there are heavy troops, just outside the teleportation array, there are no less than thirty fourth-order and fifth-order monks guarding, and there is even a sixth-order monk's spiritual power has just swept from Lu Yi and the three, it can be seen that the Lingxing Kingdom still attaches more importance to the defense of the teleportation arrayγ
The three of them stepped out of the teleportation array with their front feet, and then two fifth-order monks greeted them, and asked very politely where the three of them came from and where they were going, whether they were passing by or had something to do when they came to the Spirit Star Country, although the words were very polite, but it also made the three of them feel that the atmosphere in the Spirit Star Country was now very tense on the outside and tight on the inside. In these troubled times, the Spirit Star Country has always been rich in star stones, a strategic material, and if it is too lax, it will be abnormal. Lu Yi and the three of them suppressed the cultivation and did not show too shocking vulgarity, so they casually recited a few words that were commissioned by foreign businessmen to come to procure, and the two fifth-order monks saw that the three of them were well-dressed, and the number was not too many, and they didn't seem to be looking for trouble, so they let them go.
Out of the Acropolis, which was only a thousand zhang in size, Lu Yi immediately sent a message talisman to Ouyang Wuji again, and then flew all the way to Starlight City with Lin and Li.
Starlight City is more magnificent and gorgeous than Lu Yi imagined, the thirty zhang high city wall is all made of star stones, not only arranges a clever formation, but also sets up a watchtower at the top of the city wall every hundred zhang, and sets up a spirit stone cannon and a crossbow inside, and there are monks on duty at any time. There is also a moat with a width of nearly 20 zhang outside the city of Starlight City, and the most peculiar moat has obvious prohibitions that make people unable to fly over, and you must pass through the suspension bridge erected on the river to enter the city, and this design is also quite innovative. If you plan to break in, the ban on the moat will be warned in advance, and the guards in the city will have a little time to react.
Lu Yi still didn't receive Ouyang Wuji's reply, his mood was not too good, after landing in front of the moat, he walked towards the gate of Starlight City with a gloomy face, and after some interrogation again, the three of them were able to enter the city, it was almost noon, Lu Yi found a restaurant after entering the city, and for the first time he didn't want a single room, but sat in the lobby with other diners, ordered a few kinds of wine and food, and listened to the chats of those diners while eating.
Because the Lingxing Country is located in a remote area, except for the procurement of some businesses, few people can come here, and most of the diners here are mainly people from their own country or even the city, so the content of their chat must also be based on the Lingxing Country, Lu Yi only listened to it for half an hour, and then he couldn't listen to it anymore. Because these people are all discussing a topic, that is, the Spirit Star Country is now electing a new country lord, and the candidates for that country lord are not only Nangong Chixing and Nangong Kuixing, which Lu Yi had heard about in the Southern Regions before, but also several other people surnamed Nangong, these diners are discussing who can win this time. And the price of victory or defeat is a dead end, not only a few people competing for the lord of the country, together with their vassals, all the power of life and death is finally handed over to the winner, and this competition, all the subordinates of several competitors have been detained by the ancestors of the Nangong family, and several competitors are not allowed to use any external force. The term of their rivalry was 100 years, and now the deadline was less than three years away, and it was soon to be decided. Because the content of the competition between several people is confidential, no one knows what the specific aspects are, so everyone can only speculate through what they have heard and witnessed on weekdays, and the participants in the discussion are also divided into several factions, each supporting their favorite candidate, and arguing about it.
These people are basically hearsay, except for the sentence that the subordinates of several competitors were grounded and Lu Yi felt credible, there was no other valuable information at all. After Lu Yi hastily ate a few bites of food, he decided to take a stroll in Starlight City in person, and if possible, go to the Imperial City again.
After strolling around for an afternoon, after dinner, Lu Yi found a post house to stay, and after he entered the room, he took out the jade box from Liu Kaitian, opened it carefully, and saw a broken arrow lying inside. That arrow is very extraordinary at a glance, although it is impossible to see the level because of the damage, but after Lu Yi took it in his hand, it was absolutely that this object that was only half a foot long was not only cold to start, but also surprisingly heavy, and the most peculiar thing was that there were a number of complicated runes engraved on this truncated arrow, which was obviously blessed with some kind of magic circle. Observing from the fracture of the broken arrow, with Lu Yi's refining attainments, it can be determined that this arrow is at least made of a mixture of several seventh-order metal materials, and the broken canine teeth are staggered, as if it was broken alive with both hands.
Could it be that this truncated arrow hides a story between Chen Yunzi and the Spirit Star Kingdom?
