Chapter 33: The Eternal Silence (2)
When Lu Qiming and the three of them left the "cool air", a young man happened to come to them.
The man was dressed in a well-cut dark purple brocade robe, the slightly upturned corners of his lips had the taste of a three-point game, and a pair of red phoenix eyes revealed some fierce spirit;
He seemed to be pondering something, and he didn't even notice the three people on the other side along the way.
Chu Shaoqiu smiled when he saw it, and suddenly raised his voice and called, "Xu Hao!"
Listening to this tone, the two were clearly familiar with each other.
"Xu Hao" is the name of this young man in purple robes. He raised his head in a slight astonishment, and saw Chu Shaoqiu at a glance, and immediately strode over here, and said happily: "Shaoqiu, you are actually here! I have important news to ......."
It's just that he had to stop halfway through this, turned to face Lu Qiming and Long Anlan, and smiled apologetically: "Look at me, I only care about myself;
Chu Shaoqiu smiled slightly, and was about to help the two sides introduce each other, but was directly interrupted by Long Anlan-
She glanced at Xu Hao lightly and sneered: "You Xu Hao is very famous, what are you pretending to be, you won't recognize me?"
As soon as she said this, Lu Qiming and Chu Shaoqiu were stunned. They naturally understood that she was not usually a warm and gentle woman, and she spoke straightforwardly, but she was really cold-hearted and warm-hearted, and would never really show people a face for no reason, but what was the matter this time? The anger and repulsion in her tone were not concealed in the slightest--could it be that the two of them had an old grudge?
Lu Qiming and Chu Shaoqiu glanced at each other, and they both looked at Xu Hao, who was being targeted by the woman, but saw that he was also confused and innocent.
In fact, Long Anlan was not wrong about one thing, Xu Hao had already recognized her identity when he first noticed her. But there is nothing surprising about this - Xu Hao's origin is quite mysterious, although he is used to being a loner, he has always been well-informed, and he is also very famous in the Divine Domain.
It's just that Xu Hao is indeed meeting Long Anlan for the first time, and it makes sense to exchange names according to normal etiquette first, and Long Anlan's accusation is really groundless. is so abnormal that even Xu Hao almost thought that he had offended this dragon princess.
However, it is precisely because Xu Hao has a wide range of information sources that he is more certain - absolutely not.
Is it really just because he didn't notice her just now?" Xu Hao smiled bitterly, "Is this girl a little misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Long Anlan stopped looking at him, and said indifferently: "What have you done yourself, don't you know?"
Xu Hao's eyes flashed darkly, and he laughed at himself: "It's really not a gratifying thing to be hated by a beautiful and noble woman like the girl. β
-- Such words may seem frivolous and exaggerated to others, but when they come out of his mouth, they can be believed to be sincere compliments.
Long Anlan, on the other hand, frowned in disgust and took a step to the side.
Xu Hao noticed her reaction, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he was even more thoughtful in his heart.
Xu Hao didn't really care about Long Anlan's words, the disharmony between the two of them only hurt Chu Shaoqiu, he was really caught in the middle, and couldn't help but look at Lu Qiming for help.
But before Lu Qiming could open his mouth to save the scene, Long Anlan grabbed his hand and said coldly: "Let's go!"
At this time, even Lu Qiming was stunned, and the words he had prepared just now were suddenly not good to talk about.
Chu Shaoqiu had a big headache, and said, "An Lan, let's talk slowly!"
"Didn't he have something to do with you? Long Anlan bluntly returned the words, and really pulled Lu Qiming to leave: "Let's go first, see you later." β
This is an inexplicable one, and Lu Qiming is also helpless. But thinking of what Xu Hao said when he first met Chu Shaoqiu, and knowing that they did have something to discuss, he simply gave Chu Shaoqiu a look of "let's talk about it next time", and returned with Long Anlan by the way.
......
Seeing Lu Qiming and the others leave, Chu Shaoqiu sighed again and again.
Xu Hao spent a lot of time observing the changes in his friend's expression, and joked, "Have you seen enough?"
Chu Shaoqiu thought about it seriously and said, "No, I'll go over to An Lan to explain the reason clearly." If you talk about it next time, I'll go first. β
Xu Hao was shocked, hurriedly pulled him back, and said speechlessly: "Someone actually wants to ask for trouble to reason with a girl, who is still a beautiful girl-you are unreasonable." β
Chu Shaoqiu said: "You don't know, An Lan has always been the most reasonable character, which is different from ordinary women. Like today, it was the first time I'd seen her since I met her. After a pause, he wondered, "You tell the truthβdid you really offend her...... Or her people?"
Xu Hao only smiled and said simply: "The tone of her first two sentences was pretended. β
"Wouldn't it?" Chu Shaoqiu was surprised and said curiously, "But why did she do this?"
Xu Hao added: "Not only that, but I also know that she has no good feelings for men in the world. So such a woman would take the initiative to take the young man's hand - it can be seen that it was also deliberate. β
Chu Shaoqiu was still skeptical before, but when he heard this, he immediately laughed, shook his head and said, "I think An Lan just doesn't have a good impression of you, right...... But he has a good impression of him. β
Xu Hao didn't care either, and smiled leisurely: "If you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, I don't think this matter has anything to do with you." After that, he looked at him and asked, "Who is that young man just now? Being so cared about by the princess of the dragon clan, and making you so evasive about me in terms of name? Such a person is probably not a nameless person." β
Chu Shaoqiu smiled gently and said sincerely: "He is indeed a very remarkable person. Next time I get his permission, I'll introduce you to you. β
"Is it really so solemn?" Xu Hao smiled in surprise and said, "I remember that there was only one friend who made you respect so much in the past, and Xie Yundu was the only one, right?" After a pause, he couldn't help but add: "You have to tell me truthfully-shouldn't you have the same temperament as that Xie Yundu?" Looking at his expression, he seemed to have a little palpitations.
Chu Shaoqiu said helplessly: "Who would have thought that Yundu and you would be so incompatible?" Thinking back to the bad scene when Xu Hao and Xie Yundu met for the first time, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh again: "But this time you can rest assured, my friend is really the best person to get along with." β
Xu Hao sighed and said quietly: "This is even worse." The people who seem to be easier to get along with are always the most difficult to get along with. β
Chu Shaoqiu immediately recognized him and said with a smile: "Don't try to talk to me again." I won't talk to you much without his consent. β
Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and praised: "It's really 'Shibei three days should be impressive' - Shaoqiu, you have become smarter!"
"Come less!" Chu Shaoqiu said angrily: "I knew that I would pretend not to see you this time, so where would there be so much trouble?"
Xu Hao snorted and said, "Wait until you know what news I brought you, see if you will say this kind of thing again!"
Chu Shaoqiu thought for a moment and exclaimed, "Could it be ......"
Xu Hao bowed his head and said, "Let's go, say inside." β
......
The two returned to the "cool air" side by side, and walked straight to the depths of the forest garden, and the maids on the way saw Xu Hao and saluted respectfully.
Xu Hao is the owner here.
As soon as Chu Shaoqiu saw him close the door, he immediately asked, "Could it be that there is news from the 'Eternal Silence Terrace'?"
Xu Hao knew that he valued it, so he didn't deliberately sell it, and nodded directly: "Yes, it's Eternal Silence." β
Eternal Silence Terrace is a supreme magic weapon handed down in ancient times, the divine power is peerless, and it is said that it can get the great pleasure of the world.
There are different opinions about the origin of the Eternal Silence Terrace, and there is still no conclusion on it. Some say that the Eternal Silence Terrace is a collection of the essence of heaven, earth, the sun and the moon, and that it is a natural achievement of the Heavenly Axe, and it is also said that the Eternal Silence Terrace was personally refined by the Emperor Zhaoyuan, the ancient sage.
So far, people are more willing to believe in the second theory -- once the Emperor Zhaoyuan was born out of thin air, ruled the world, and made the world everywhere glorious; but when the dynasty was at its peak, Zhaoyuan wrote down the four big characters of "mountains and rivers are forever silent" and engraved them in the dormitory, and looked at them day and night, never talking to people about the deep meaning.
Mountains and rivers are forever silent; With such a coincidence, it's hard not to associate the two with each other.
Xu Hao sighed: "It has been rumored many times in recent years, I'm afraid this time it's going to be true." β
Eternal Silence is present.
Chu Shaoqiu said in a deep voice: "Could it be that there is specific information?"
"Yes. Xu Hao looked hesitant and asked solemnly: "Shaoqiu, why are you looking for this eternal silence platform? If it is just for the 'icing on the cake' and not necessary, I suggest that you better not go to this troubled water." β
Chu Shaoqiu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not me looking for it, it's my father." But he didn't tell me the real reason, and listening to his tone, I'm afraid he had to do his best. β
Xu Hao nodded, and said no more. He said directly: "Eternal Silence is likely to appear in the 'Four Directions'. β
The extremes of the four directions, except for the extreme east, which is in the middle of the continent, the other three sides are difficult to reach the sky.
In the extreme north, there is the abyss of the phoenix clan and the phoenix, otherwise it is the ancient land of Poria cocos in the deepest part of the Heavenly Thorn Forest.
The extreme south is the endless ocean, which is where the Dragon Palace of the Dragon Clan is located.
The Far West is even less possible. It is the sacred place in the heart of the world's martial arts cultivation - the Mountain of Great Times, and it is also the location of the Yuwen clan. No one in the world dares to break in, let alone break in.
"The extreme ...... of the Quartet" Xu Hao smacked his tongue and commented: "It has taken up the territory of the Three Spirit Clan." β
After hearing this, Chu Shaoqiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In my heart, I don't want my father to fight with others for any 'eternal silence'. If it had been in a place where it was impossible, my father would have given it up. β
"Yes. Xu Hao agreed: "This kind of thing, the most feared thing is to leave one or two points of hope in danger, that is the most fatal." β
"However," Xu Hao's tone turned slightly, and said conservatively: "I can't guarantee that the statement of 'the extreme of the four directions' is 100% accurate. The channel of this news is relatively unstable, and it is the easiest period for false rumors, so you should not be in a hurry to take it to heart. I'll get back to you when there's any new development. β
"You're humble enough this time. Chu Shaoqiu teased him and said, "I know what you said." It's just that I'm going to go into retreat for about three months, what do you think about the time?"
Xu Hao thought for a while, and said, "Yes." β
"It shouldn't be that fast. β
