Luojing City, Princess Zhaoning's Mansion.

The fourth prince, Xiao Shangzhen, is also about to leave the capital and go to Laizhou Mansion to explore the immortal ruins.

Princess Zhaoning was very worried about her ignorant younger brother.

She spent a night packing Xiao Shangzhen's luggage, stuffing a lot of magic weapons such as broken empty beads, glass bottles, blue smoke armor, and dark gold fans into his package; In addition, there are more than a dozen talismans drawn by the Great Qi National Teacher.

Before leaving, she kept instructing in Xiao Shangzhen's ear: "Xiao Shangzhen, when you go to the Laoshan Ruins this time, you must be very careful, and you must not be careless." The young monks who went with you were all the proud sons of the Great Qi Dynasty, and their methods were bound to emerge in an endless stream. Although you are a child of the royal family, practicing the "Heavenly Dragon Heart Sutra", the top practice in the country, and your qualifications are not bad, but compared with those people, you have less practical experience after all. I'm worried, you've been by those people......"

"Sister, why are you more verbose than the old lady who sews clothes?" Xiao Shangzhen lay on the windowsill, playing with the dust on the window lattice, and said with a frown, "You have told me these truths thousands of times, I have long remembered them, and I am tired of hearing them all." ”

"I'm not saying this because I'm worried about you!" Princess Zhaoning reprimanded with a straight face, "You think you are great every day, and you never refuse to practice swords in a down-to-earth manner!" Think about it, the last time you met that 'Vermilion Bird' in the 'Realm of the Dao', wasn't he beaten up severely? ”

"That's a special case!" Xiao Shangzhen also wanted to quibble, "It's impossible for everyone to be like 'Vermilion Bird', mastering tricks that are almost cheating like 'Seven Styles of Burning the Sky'!" ”

"Hmph," Princess Zhaoning said coldly, "The young people who go back to Laoshan this time are not mediocre people—even if they don't know the Seven Styles of Burning Heaven, they must have mastered other unique skills and can easily handle you."

"By the way, according to the information I got recently, 'Suzaku' is also going to the ruins of Nalao Mountain."

"'Suzaku' is going too?"

Hearing Princess Zhaoning's words, Xiao Shangzhen suddenly jumped down from the windowsill, waved her fist and said: "I lost to him in the 'Realm of the Dao' last time, this time I must challenge him and find the field with my own hands!" ”

Seeing her younger brother's appearance, Princess Zhaoning sighed helplessly again.

"I mentioned 'Suzaku' to you, not to make you look for a place, but to find a way to make friends with him. He is a genius that the Great Qi Dynasty has not encountered in a hundred years, and there is a high probability that he will be able to rise to the top in the future and become a powerful cultivator and a great figure on the Megatron side," she said to her younger brother patiently, "If you can take this opportunity to form a friendship with him, then he may become an important help for our sisters and brothers in the future, and it will be extremely helpful for you to fight for the 'Tai'a Sword' and the succession to the throne in the future." ”

Hearing the word "Tai'a Sword" from her sister again, Xiao Shangzhen felt quite unpleasant. But in order to prevent his sister from continuing to nag in his ear, he nodded slowly.

"Okay. Since you say so, sister, I'll reluctantly go and take in a little brother. ”

"By the way, Xiao Shangzhen, I have one more thing to warn you," Princess Zhaoning paused for a moment, and then said solemnly, "After you go to Laizhou Mansion this time, don't expose your code name in the 'Dao Realm' to anyone—if the other monks in the reserve of the 'Shenji Battalion' know that the fourth prince of the Great Qi Dynasty is a pervert who likes to disguise a female voice and shout 'good brother', then the face of our royal family will be lost." ”

"Sister, I'll pay attention to this kind of little thing! I don't need you to remind you! ”

“……”

In this way, the two sisters and brothers, you and I say a word, one is worried and chatters, and the other nods perfunctorily.

When the morning sun climbed the treetops, a eunuch in a dark blue brocade robe arrived at the princess's mansion.

It was the eunuch Cao Tong, the celebrant and the eunuch.

Cao Tong is a Fifth Realm cultivator.

This time, Princess Zhaoning specially entrusted him to send Xiao Shangzhen to Laizhou Mansion.

"This time, please ask Grandpa Cao!"

"I will live up to His Highness's trust!"

Then, Xiao Shangzhen took the luggage that Princess Zhaoning had prepared for him overnight, followed behind Cao Tong, stepped on the sword, took off into the air, and flew quickly towards the northeast.

Luo Jingcheng became smaller and smaller in his field of vision.

The cold wind whistled by, making his cheeks ache.

"'Suzaku', you wait," Xiao Shangzhen thought secretly in her heart, "this time, I will definitely not lose to you again!" ”

Princess Zhaoning stood quietly at the door of the princess's mansion, looking at her younger brother like a bird, disappearing into the sky with a "whoosh", and never saw him again.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her worries.

"This time, with Gonggong Cao and Lord Shi from Laizhou Mansion taking care of this kid, he should be fine......"

"I hope he can take this opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the immortals. After all, it's about whether he can come from behind, defeat his brothers, and capture the 'Tai'a Sword'......"

"In addition, the matter of befriending Yishui Gu Xu is also very important to us. Actually, I'm afraid that Xiao Shangzhen, an arrogant kid, will mess things up......"

"Maybe when Gu Xu comes to the capital next year, I have to find a chance to meet him. For a cultivator like Gu Xu, who is from a civilian background and lacks resources, as long as he is given enough conditions, he will definitely choose to help our ......"

…………

Shu land, sword pavilion.

Su Xiao was still standing on the top of the cliff, wielding the wooden sword in his hand as always, and tirelessly practicing one sword style after another that seemed simple.

At this moment, a little Taoist boy hurriedly came to his side and said to him: "Senior Brother Su, the pavilion master asked me to remind you that the Laoshan Ruins are about to open, and the 'Shenji Battalion' requires you to report to Shi Lei, the Qianhu of Laizhou Mansion, before tomorrow." Senior brother, don't forget this matter! ”

"Hmm." Su Xiao's words were as brief as ever.

After Daotong left, Su Xiao put down the wooden sword in his hand, returned to the grass house where he practiced, and carefully took out a three-foot long sword in a sheath from a wooden box, and put it on his waist seriously.

Su Xiao is an ordinary-looking person.

The sword also has a name that sounds unremarkable.

It's called the "three-foot sword".

For many years, the sword was never unsheathed.

It's not because Su Xiao is reluctant to use it.

Rather, it's because he doesn't currently have an opponent worthy of him drawing his sword.

It was disappointing and boring for him.

"I don't know if this trip to Laoshan will have a chance for the 'three-foot sword' to come out of the sheath......"

He sighed softly.

Then, he stepped on the wooden sword, turned into a ray of blue light, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

…………

Luo Jing, the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.

Shangguan Jin was also preparing his luggage overnight for the trip to Laoshan.

Not only did she carry a lot of magic weapons.

At the same time, he is also trying to find all the information about Laoshan Mountain, about the Kongxuansan people, and about the companions, trying to use the "Heavenly Calculation" magic power to calculate what will happen next, so as to prepare in advance.

At this time, the head Luo Chuan suddenly found her.

"Shangguan Jin, when you go to Laoshan this time, I have something to do for you."

"What's the matter, Lord Si's?"

"Protect the 'Suzaku'."
