Chapter 316: Breaking Inside
Just when Ren Fengxing tried everything to get his brother back, what he feared most had become a reality......
Ren Fengyang did delay enough time, not only did he let the two Holy Judges of the "Earth Spirit" quietly leave the three islands and go to the Twelve Palaces of the Sea of Clouds through the Divine Revelation Continent, but also let the first vanguard army of the Twelve Palaces of the Sea of Clouds successfully enter the three islands.
The starmen of the Starlight Tower still don't know anything about all this. Even if a star official found out that something was wrong, it would be too late, because as soon as he entered the three islands, the people of the 12 signs of the sea of clouds had already changed their clothes and quietly waited for the opportunity to join forces with the "Earth Spirit".
Regarding the cooperation with the "Earth Spirit", although the 12 signs of the sea of clouds have agreed, they are still very cautious. After discussing with the palace masters, they decided that a palace master would lead his subordinates to the "Three Islands" first, firstly to test the reaction and strength of the Starlight Tower, and secondly, to investigate the strength of the "Earth Spirit".
The people of the 12 Signs of the Sea of Clouds took off their traditional full armor clothes, changed into robes that were more in line with the style of Mishima, and found a quiet place to rest in the east of the Heavenly Dao of Wenxin Island and the Heavenly Dao. And the leader of the vanguard army of the Twelve Palaces of the Sea of Clouds, the palace master of the Swallowing Sea Palace, quietly went to Jianxin Island by himself......
In the extreme north of Jianxin Island, there is a grand scene, called "Jiuquan stargazing".
There are two strange things about "Jiuquan Stargazing", one is that there is a spring here, and the clear and sweet spring water gushes out from the ground all day long, if you drink too much of this spring water, you will get drunk like drinking too much, and it is very magical.
The second wonder of "Jiuquan Stargazing" is that you can see the stars in the sky for 12 hours a day. This is because of the peculiarity of Jiuquan stargazing, the stars in the sky are not real stars, but phantoms projected by the starlight tower's starry array here.
People often come to "Jiuquan Stargazing" to have a glimpse of the wonders of the world, and a taste of this world's famous spring, today is no exception. By the Jiuquan Spring, the trees are shady, and visitors sit in groups under the shade of the trees, while tasting the spring water, while chatting about all kinds of strange things.
Only one visitor sat maverickly on a tree branch a few feet above the ground, leaning against the trunk of the tree, quietly playing an unknown piece of music with the piccolo in his hand......
After the song was finished, Yin Qihua sighed lonely: "Life...... What a contradiction...... Mishima is now in turmoil, and I have avoided this storm from afar, originally to seek a peaceful trip, but now I feel lonely......"
"You chose to come to 'Mishima' at this time, and you are destined to be unable to avoid this storm. There is a destiny, even if you are a friend, you can't escape this destiny. ”
Behind the trunk of the tree, another visitor in a robe appeared at some point. As the man spoke, he waved his hand seemingly unintentionally, and an invisible small isolation circle suddenly formed around him, preventing the content of his conversation from reaching the ears of the third person.
"Why are you here, old boy who swallows the sea?" Yin Qi Huasheng returned to his usual appearance in the game world, "You can appear here, which means that the Twelve Palaces of the Sea of Clouds have been involved in this matter." It seems that this situation cannot be good. ”
"Don't call it 'Twelve Signs of the Sea of Clouds' so raw, friend, you yourself are also a member of the Twelve Signs. Listening to your tone, I don't know, I still think that you are really a person from 'Mishima'. The palace master of the Swallowing Sea Palace said with a smile.
"I'm a Mishima person now, and I'm a traveler who aspires to see the beauty of Mishima. A few days ago, I invited you to ask Tianwu to participate in my game, but you didn't show up. Now, don't try to implicate me in what you're doing. Yin Qi Huasheng had an unreasonable expression.
"I missed the appointment because I was discovered by the star officials of the Starlight Tower, as for this incident...... Friend, your 'Nine Clouds, Nine Veins and Nine Locks' have already opened twice, right?"
"Yes. So what?"
"Isn't that obvious enough, as long as you stay in Mishima, sooner or later, you'll open all your seals. At that time, do you think the people of 'Mishima' will continue to call you by your real name Yin Qi Huasheng, or will they call you 'Naluo Palace Master'?"
Yin Qi Huasheng also knew that the palace master of the Swallowing Sea Palace was telling the truth, and frowned a little irritably: "Annoying identity." ”
The Palace Master of the Swallowing Sea Palace couldn't see Yin Qi Huasheng's expression, but he knew Yin Qi Huasheng's mood: "Since you took over the position of 'Naluo Palace Palace Master', whether you were willing or helpless at the beginning, you can't avoid and can't escape the responsibility that belongs to the Twelve Palaces of the Sea of Clouds." ”
"Tell me, the responsibility that you discussed at the meeting belongs to me. Yin Qi Huasheng's face was expressionless, he was indeed the palace master of the Naluo Palace in the Twelve Palaces of the Sea of Clouds, but Yin Qi Huasheng was not interested in sitting in a high position every day and enjoying the worship of his subordinates.
The palace master of the Swallowing Sea Palace is Yin Qi Huasheng's best friend in the 12th Palace of the Sea of Clouds, and the only friend who can put his heart into his heart. Whether it is the palace master of Yunhai Palace or Yin Qi Huasheng, they all cherish this friendship very much. You must know that a person in a high position like the palace master is very difficult to have friends in the 12th sign of the sea of clouds with a strict hierarchy.
The palace master of the Swallowing Sea Palace couldn't hear the emotions in Yin Qihua's sheng, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. Sometimes, the absence of emotions is the most heart-wrenching emotion.
"The other palace masters want you to tell me who the undercover agent sent to Mishima is......"
"He is my subordinate, not theirs. I think they haven't been in a hospital bed for too long, and they're starting to miss what it's like to be unable to take care of themselves, right?"
Yin Qi Huasheng said this arrogantly, making it clear that he would not take the other palace masters of the Twelve Palaces of the Sea of Clouds in his eyes. But the palace master of the Swallowing Sea Palace couldn't laugh at all, because he knew that Yin Qi Huasheng did have this ability!
The palace master of the Swallowing Sea Palace did not speak again, but just sat quietly. After a long time, it was Yin Qi Huasheng who broke the silence first: "Old boy who swallows the sea, when you first arrived in the 'Three Islands', you must not have had time to walk around. Why don't I take you around, I have found a lot of beautiful scenery. ”
"That's a good idea, let's go!" The palace master of the Swallowing Sea Palace also stopped mentioning those so-called serious matters, and agreed with a smile.
The two jumped down from the trunk of the tree and walked away with leisurely steps. Just looking at their backs, who would have thought that these were the two palace masters of the 12 palaces of the sea of clouds?
While the Twelve Palaces of the Sea of Clouds were pondering how to break into the interior of the three islands, Shenhuan had successfully entered Du Xiao's small group of henchmen through the sacrifice.
Several of Du Xiao's henchmen have a very good personal relationship, and when the priest has to sacrifice himself to protect Du Xiao's interests, they are a little reluctant in their hearts, but they can't show it directly. They were all surprised to return safely.
Later, they heard from the mouth of the priest that it was because of Shin-hwan's excellent performance and calm judgment that the festival was able to escape, and their attitude towards Shin-hwan immediately showed a clear difference.
And everything after that was exactly as Shenhuan expected. Du Xiao showed great interest in Shenhuan, a "loyal" newcomer, and was willing to meet this "loyal" and "grateful" newcomer in person.
On the third pole of the sun, Shenhuan followed behind the sacrifice, passed through the corridor of Du Fuzhong, and walked into Du Xiao's study. In fact, Shen Huan has quietly approached this room, but he doesn't feel anyone's presence.
When I walked into the study, it was empty. Shen Huan's expression was calm, and he knew that there was another mystery in the room, so he didn't ask questions, but just quietly followed behind the sacrifice.
I saw the priest walk in front of the screen and rotate the screen in place for half a circle. I only heard the sound of "poof", and two small flames lit up in front of the landscape paintings on the left and right walls of the study at the same time. The priest walked over to the flame on the left wall, circled his fingers around the flame twice, and then flicked it to extinguish it.
As the flames went out, the interior of the study was distorted. Shenhuan only felt a trance in front of him, and when he fixed his eyes again, everything had returned to normal, and a middle-aged man with a smile was sitting upright in front of the desk.
"What a powerful phantom array ability! What a powerful control of the law of reality and reality!" Shen Huan was shocked.
The middle-aged man saw Shenhuan's surprise and said with a smile: "It's just a little trick, if you want to learn, I can teach you." ”
There was a very comforting contagion in the middle-aged man's tone, not at all like the shrewd merchant who held all the materials of the "Earth Spirit" in the legend, but more like a kind elder.
As for his sentence "can teach you", neither he nor Shenhuan took it to heart. The laws of reality and fiction are claimed to be second only to the four supreme laws in terms of profundity, and how can they be simply taught.
"Lord Du Xiao, Mingxiao is lucky. Shen Huan bowed slightly, humble but unyielding.
Du Xiao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Shenhuan with interest: "What's the matter?
Generally speaking, subordinates should bow down to the Lord in person, and unless the Lord takes the initiative to dispense with them, it will be a great offense to the Lord.
"I have been blessed by Du Fu and have repaid it by participating in this operation and rescuing me. Now I am not your real subordinate, or in the eyes of your lord, the subordinates in the Du Mansion cannot be called your subordinates, so I don't have to kneel and bow now. Shen Huan replied without humility or arrogance.
This is the rhetoric that Shen Huan has thought of a long time ago. How to face Du Xiao, Shen Huan has been thinking about it for a long time these days, too groveling or too unruly is easy to expose flaws, maintaining appropriate humility, and at the same time showing the appropriate edge, is the easiest posture to win people's trust.
"Hahahaha, nice young man, take him down, and remember to take him with you the next time you move. By the way, get him a good sword. These words were apparently addressed to the priests.
"Yes. Sai nodded, and led Shen Huan to retreat.
Shen Huan didn't speak, all this was expected by Shen Huan. If you want to gain Du Xiao's trust, one performance is definitely not enough. At least, now Shenhuan has taken the first step into the "Earth Spirit"!
