"Brother, you asked me to knock on the door of the secret room if I have something, I knocked many times, but you didn't respond, did something happen?"

Xia Ji looked at his sister, who was almost "reborn", and shook his head, "The retreat is too devoted. ”

"Liar. ”

The empress said, "I went in quietly to see it, and you weren't in there at all." ”

Xia Ji rubbed her hair and said with a smile: "Not bad, you will try me." Actually, these days I..."

"Brother, don't say it. It's good to come back safely. ”

The Empress paused the topic, then got up and said, "Let's see if Lone has grown taller?"

Xia Ji didn't stand up, but looked at her feet, it was a pair of high heels, and he nodded: "It's high." ”

The Empress rolled her eyes.

Xia Ji affirmed: "It's really high." ”

The Empress rolled her eyes back, and then suddenly said, "Come with me, I have two things for you." ”

The two of them came to the imperial study.

Xia Xiaosu pushed the mechanism away, revealing a small pavilion hidden inside, the small pavilion was brightly lit, and the empress beckoned sideways: "Come." ”

There was a pile of portraits spread out on the table in the small pavilion...

Xia Xiaosu said with a strange expression: "These are all sent by the powerful people of the northern land to marry, if you are willing to include them in the harem, then their fathers will all take refuge in us...... I've seen it, and it's all beautiful.

They also threatened me that if you didn't take their daughters, then they would go south. ”

Xia Ji: ???

This kind of abnormal road, at first glance, it seems that someone is making trouble, who else will there be besides the Su family?

Could it be the eldest princess?

Thinking of Su Yueqing, he couldn't help but empty his eyes, but after thinking about it, the eldest princess said "She doesn't want to face up to King Shenwu", so is it the head of the family or other princes?

Xia Ji paced back and forth for two steps, during this time in the Su family, he had been with the old yin for a long time, and the corresponding attributes had also been improved, he suddenly thought of the eldest princess who had said "The Su family will send people from the eleventh realm to kill him," "The Su family knows that he is looking for the family everywhere",

Since this is the case, then this marriage strategy is likely to mess with his mind's delaying strategy, in order to delay until the fire disaster comes, and drag it until the family masters are promoted one after another.

In this case, the point is not really to agree to the marriage, or not to agree to the marriage, because whether it is agreed or not, it will not cause any hindrance to the family's behavior.

Well, the best way, too, is to drag.

In this way, the purpose of the family has been achieved, and the purpose of the magnates not wanting to marry has also been achieved, and they do not need to face this headache, which is the best solution to the problem.

Xia Ji's eyebrows were calm, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Xiaosu.

The Empress looked at him strangely...

"Brother, what do you think I'm doing?"

Xia Ji was speechless.

He couldn't help but wonder, did he make eye contact with the eldest princess so much during this time that he didn't even want to talk?

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Xia Xiaosu said: "Brother, I think you have been out for half a year, and people seem to have changed a little." ”

"Is there one?"

"It's become yin..."Xia Xiaosu said categorically, then she thought about it and continued, "I think the reason why the powerful people have this move is because of the family's instructions, and the family may be trying to balance the situation in the north and south. ”

The two think from different angles, but they have the same goal.

Xia Ji said: "Drag it first, anyway, I haven't shown up yet, so you say I'm in retreat." ”

The Empress nodded, replied, "Okay", and then said, "Brother, I still have an ancient book for you, which is very old, and you will definitely like it." ”

As she spoke, she carefully took out a wooden box.

The wooden box opens,

Showing a book of olds,

The cover reads "Taishang Jingming Dao".

Xia Ji opened it, only to see the opening written: Miao Zai Yuan Shi Dao, Da Fanfu Zhenwen. On the dragon and Han robbery, the brilliance is broken. Thirty-two heavenly books, five old deficit biography. Mercy lives and dies, and gloomy spit auspicious clouds.

As his gaze swept over, a mysterious Taoist thought poured into his heart, as if he was about to condense a skill bead.

He closed the book, "Like." ”

Xia Xiaosu smiled, "It was given to me by an old Taoist priest, saying that if you cultivate, you can purify your heart and have few desires, soar freely, go to the blessed land, and no longer be burdened by imperial power." I took the book, but I didn't promise him. ”

Xia Jiqi said: "What kind of Taoist priest?"

Xia Xiaosu said: "An old Taoist in Mai who holds a Li staff and wears no shoes, he said that I am kind-hearted, and the people in the city who govern him also live and work in peace and contentment, so he doesn't want to see me lose my life in this troubled world, so he specially came to me and asked me to follow him to the Taoist cave to cultivate the Tao in the blessed land of Taoism a year later, and seek eternal life." ”

Xia Ji said: "This is a Taoist priest with Taoism. Xiao Su, the killing and robbery has arrived, coming from the west, within three years, he will enter Middle-earth, and the imperial capital will bear the brunt.

In the coming days, there will definitely be a lot of Turks, dogs, ghosts, and other small countries that will pour in from the Wolf Pass, which is the first disaster. ”

Xia Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, since her brother said so, then it would definitely happen, she was silent and asked, "What is the murder?"

"Fire robbery. ”

Xia Ji told her about the killing and robbery, but he didn't mention a word about the Su family and his life experience.

After speaking, Xia Ji said again: "Don't worry too much, when it's really a last resort, I can take you away." ”

Xia Xiaosu accepted a lot of information and was digesting it, so he didn't ask much, just responded, "Okay." ”

Xia Ji took out a silk scarf from his arms, this silk scarf was a space prop he made with Maitreya Zen last night, among which there was a string of Rulai prayer beads of "Binding the Palm Mountain Country", in addition to the lantern lamp, the mask of King Chujiang.

He handed it to the empress, and spent a lot of time explaining to her the purpose, this set of things can be described as being able to fight alone, AOE, break stealth, escape, and initiation inheritance.

Xia Xiaosu was dumbfounded...

With this set of things, she has transformed into a big master who hides her hole cards.

It seems unreasonable that these things can easily make a powerless person stronger, but which of them didn't Xia Ji work hard to?

And the mask of the underworld can only be used by him after he purifies those evil spirits, and direct use can only result in being taken away by evil spirits.

Xia Xiaosu tried to put on the mask of King Chujiang, and the inheritance he obtained was [Ice Sword Prison].

Xia Ji took her to set up the transfer station in the imperial study, and if she was assassinated, or in an emergency, she could run into the underworld for refuge as soon as possible.

So...

It can be regarded as a solution to the worries,

Unless you encounter a big situation,

Little sister won't have an accident.

And the family only wants to get rid of themselves, and they don't want to move this empress as the whetstone of the future new monarch, so there is no need to worry.

Xia Ji called Hu Xian'er again, gave a few instructions, and told her that once a special situation occurred, she must immediately call herself through the "leather scroll contract". Even if there are no special circumstances, you need to report peace to him every day.

Xia Ji originally wanted to see Ning Xiaoyu again, but Xiaoyu was giving a lesson to the generals, so he could only give up.

Take care of everything...

Xia Ji passed through the underworld again, turned into a second body, and returned to the lake manor where he was alone.

Although I don't want to admit it, being able to dominate the fire tribulation for five hundred years really doesn't mean that you can stop it outside the city by holding back a mouthful of blood, so... The Imperial Capital is likely to be breached, and this will make the last, most dangerous, and safest landing point for himself and Xiao Su.

Spread out the [Taishang Pure Ming Dao] and recite it quietly.

After a long time, a dark golden skill bead appeared in front of the primordial god: [Pure Ming Dao Technique].

"Use. ”

In a thought...

Skill Bead Shattering,

The deep gold turned into a long stream, permeating his whole body, and his understanding of this technique also came to his heart.

Xia Ji digested it for a while,

He has understood,

This is a comprehensive Taoist lineage,

Scattered and scattered,

Including a lot of spells,

For example, the "art of paper-cutting and turning into things" can be transformed into paper soldiers, paper people, animals, no food, no drink, invulnerability, and manipulation.

Such as the "method of talismans", which can summon the gods of wind, thunder, rain and lightning to help, but Xia Ji tried, and it seems that he can't recruit people now, so it can be seen that the gods in the sky are either dead, or still sleeping, or... The time has not yet come.

Such as "illusion".

Another example is the "Technique of Swallowing Qi and Slashing the Sword", which belongs to swallowing the breath of heaven and earth, so that the blade can exert more power.

There are also some scattered methods.

None of them are particularly profound, but each one is not simple.

Xia Ji held the idea of giving it a try,

I took the yellow paper, cut out the villain, the birds, the pond fish, the cow and the horse, the snake python, and so on...

White and yellow lead to yang, and red paper leads to yin, so don't confuse it.

After cutting, he silently recited a mantra in his mouth, blew on the paper people, and then watched quietly.

The paper figure lying on the table suddenly moved strangely, and then climbed up, with a wicked smile on his face, and a black aura emanated from his body.

Xia Ji grabbed the little man and threw it into the storage ring, and did a lot of it in one go, basically succeeding.

"It's still the height of summer, and there is still half a year before the depths of winter. ”

Xia Ji looked at the scorching skylight, cleaned up a little, and walked on the lonely boat moored on the shore, holding the penny, blocking the water lines, and went away.

"This half a year can't be wasted. Maybe this is only half a year that can let me get away with the world once. ”

so

It also lives up to a trip to this world.

Xia Ji had pride in his heart, grabbed out a jar of wine, and fell on his back on the lonely boat, drifting with the tide, and then drank the mellow wine, swinging in the water.

He remembered that before he left the Su family, Su Yueqing asked him to go to the world and go to Wucun to find a family.

She said that she had received some kindness from the family when she was in the world, and asked Xia Ji to give as much help as possible, and the family happened to be nearby.

...

...

Wucun,

It's a small fishing village,

The population is no more than a few thousand.

An Xun is from the village,

The little girl is eighteen years old.

She was so beautiful that the boys in the village would always say that she was not like a fisherman, but like a lady from a rich family in the city, and her temperament was as good as her sister.

An Xun's sister has been missing for twelve years,

An Xun was only six years old that year, and her sister suddenly disappeared, and her life and death were uncertain from then on, she was heartbroken, crying and running on the beach, and the soles of her feet were punctured by broken shells in the gravel.

Every summer, she would sit on a boulder by the sea, hugging her knees, looking into the distance, hoping that her sister would return.

She watched it for twelve years, and her sister didn't come back.

Suddenly a voice came from behind him:

"Anxun, be careful, don't sit on the beach. ”

A shirtless, thick belt around his waist, a sturdy young man ran over, looking at the beautiful back, the young man was heartbroken, his name is Wu Lian, the youngest son of the head of Wu Village.

An Xun didn't look at him, and he didn't want to talk to him.

Wu Lian supported the stone she was sitting on with his hand and said: "Recently, there have been floods everywhere, and there are also typhoons on the sea. ”

"Nonsense. ”

"I didn't talk nonsense, many villages in the south have been flooded, you cross the Fenghe Bridge, and walk forward to see, they are all refugees who are not allowed to enter the city outside the city, many, many people.

Moreover, the third uncle and the fourth uncle are not going fishing. ”

"Over the years, there have been many typhoons. ”

"Anxun, this time is different. ”

The girl hugged her knees and didn't speak, and her sister's last words before disappearing were "I saw a colorful seashell on the beach yesterday, I'll pick it up and show it to you", at that time she was crying in Wow Wow, and her sister was trying to make her happy, but it was gone.

An Xun lowered his head.

Wu Lian suddenly said: "Your sister has been swept away by the sea!"

An Xun bit his lip.

Wu Lian said: "An Xun, don't deceive yourself, she won't come back, someone in our fishing village dies at sea every year, she is just unlucky." ”

"Get out!"

An Xun was like an angry little leopard, raising her hand to push the young man, her strength was so great that the young man was suddenly pushed and stumbled, and fell backwards into the sand.

Wu Lian was also angry all of a sudden, and his wild temper came up, and he roared: "Can you stop going crazy!"

An Xun looked at him coldly.

Wu Lian said: "When you don't speak, you're beautiful." ”

An Xun didn't look at him, and slid down from the other side of the stone, his back sluggish into the distance.

Wu Lian said: "What are you doing? I just told you the truth. ”

An Xun still ignored him.

Wu Lian yelled a few more words, the voice became louder and louder, and suddenly he rushed behind the girl's back, and his hands pushed the girl's back hard.

Where did An Xun receive such a force, and immediately fell forward, the whole person fell into the sand, and her clothes were all dirty, and the tide spread, rolled in, and wet her dress.

Wu Lian said angrily: "You pushed me first, and you are unreasonable, I am kind enough to comfort you, you let me go?"

An Xun sighed, and she sat in the tide.

Wu Lian watched it for a while, and then left scolding.

He had only walked a few steps,

As soon as his complexion changed drastically,

Let out a cry of disbelief: "Oh my God." ”

The wind, the tsunami, obscuring the sky and the sun came from afar, all the light seemed to be swallowed, and faintly you could see the figure of an evil Jiao looming in the black and blue water.

Wu Lian didn't care about the girl, he ran away.

An Xun looked up at the tsunami, the waves were stacked, one after another as if they were about to climb up this supreme sky, flapping from a distance, even if they looked up, it was difficult to see the waves, I don't know how many meters high.

She let out a long sigh and hugged herself tightly.

Whispering:

"Sister..."

Syllable!!!!

The tsunami crashed down.

An Xun didn't feel pain, but only felt that he was hugged by someone's waist,

She hurriedly opened her eyes,

Indeed, she was embraced,

But it wasn't Ulian who hugged her, let alone anyone she knew.

It was a teenager her age.

Although they are of the same age, this young man exudes a strange courage.

The sea breeze was howling, and the shadow of the Jiao spirit was dancing wildly, and his long gray hair was mixed with it.

The young man looked peaceful, stepping on the tsunami step by step,

He is always on the crest of the waves, as if he were walking on the ground.
