Chapter 131: The Latecomer

"The first person to find the silver wine will be the leader of this conference."

Gu Xu silently repeated this sentence in his heart.

There is very little information revealed in Princess Zhaoning's words.

From it, he only knew that there were demon beasts in the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm", and the rules were different from the outside world, but he didn't know how big it was, how many demon beasts there were, what the terrain was, whether there were prohibitions, and how to find clues......

Everything is unknown, and it is up to him to find out for himself.

"The test set by the monks at this Luoshui Conference is really not easy." Gu Xu complained secretly.

In the past, in the ring, you only needed to fight hard to become a winner.

However, the competition in the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" not only requires the monks to have the ability to fight, but also requires them to explore unfamiliar environments, collect information, and even play tactics together...... Those who are not flexible enough and can only do penance will undoubtedly be eliminated.

However, Gu Xu was not intimidated by this.

On the contrary, he was quite happy to see the change in the format of the Luoshui Conference.

After all, the Luoshui Conference is full of heroes, each of whom is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and they all have extraordinary means.

If it was a one-on-one competition, even if they all controlled their cultivation at the same level, Gu Xu did not dare to guarantee that he would be undefeated and become the final winner.

But in the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm", he can choose to silently lurk on the side and wait for others to come out to pick up leaks when they are both defeated, or he can choose to unite everyone and solve the strongest and most difficult competitors to cultivate first, and he can also use his powerful divination skills to obtain more and more accurate information than others......

Gu Xu has a lot of practical experience, has solved big cases such as the "Lu Family's Murderous Mansion", and has confronted ghosts at the level of "Fierce God"...... In this case, someone who is stronger than him may not be able to fight him.

Before he knew it, the word "astrolabe" came to his mind again.

Although he still doesn't know what the "Astrolabe" is, nor what it is used for, deep down in his heart, there has always been a strong desire that drives him to win the leader of the "Luoshui Conference", enter the royal treasury, and obtain the "Astrolabe".

His instinct told him that if he could get his hands on the astrolabe, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

"Gu Xu, you have to come on!" At this time, Shi Xiaohan, who was beside him, tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him, "Take down that 'Silver Wine Bottle' and let them all see how powerful you are!" ”

Because she was petite and slender, her height was only up to Gu Xu's shoulders, so she had to work her tiptoes to get close to Gu Xu's ear.

Shi Xiaohan is also high-spirited at the moment.

However, she also has a bit of self-knowledge - an eighteen-year-old Third Realm cultivator, with a fourth-grade qualification and a magical power such as the "Gluttonous Seal", may be regarded as outstanding among everyone, but she is definitely not ranked among Luo Jing Tianjiao.

Therefore, her goal today is to show her strength to the best of her ability, so that everyone in the capital knows the existence of the "Shi Woman", and also let her father take a good look at the results of his hard practice in the recent period.

If he can, try to help Gu Xu get rid of a few competitors, so that his road to winning the championship may be easier.

Gu Xu smiled slightly and gently touched her head.

The girl's black hair is fluffy and soft, and it feels smooth and comfortable to the touch like a cat.

…………

After introducing the rules of this year's "Luoshui Conference", Princess Zhaoning walked down the suspended staircase and returned to the riverside.

The mechanism of the "Heavenly Dragon Array" was once again running silently.

The high platform in the Luo River slowly sank into the water, as if it had never existed.

Afterwards, the soldiers of the Imperial City Guard walked up to the ranks of the participants and handed each monk a jade talisman.

Gu Xu took the jade talisman and took a serious look at it, and found that it was indeed engraved with a rune of teleportation spells.

But some of the details of these runes were slightly different from what he had seen before.

Gu Yuan

Gu Xu guessed that this might be because the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" and the outside world were two worlds with different rules - if you want to teleport between the two worlds, you must do some special processing for the runes.

At the same time, Princess Zhaoning raised her head and looked at the two saints on the high platform.

Luo Sitou smiled and nodded.

The Great Qi National Master first glanced in the direction of the palace, and then said seriously: "Then let's start." ”

So Princess Zhaoning waved her hand gently.

The eunuch of the Great Qi Dynasty stepped forward from the crowd, bowed to her, and handed her a treasure chest decorated with gold and silver in both hands.

The princess reached out and took out a square item from the chest.

White jade, Jiaolong New, is the jade seal of the Great Qi Dynasty.

It is carved from the "Tai'a Sword", with the breath of the "Tai'a Sword", which can invoke the power of the "Heavenly Dragon Great Array", and can also open or close the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm".

Ever since Emperor Tianxing practiced in retreat in the deep palace and handed over the secular government to Princess Zhaoning, this jade seal has been kept by her.

Although the jade seal is a symbol of imperial power.

But Princess Zhaoning knew very well that the treasure that the Great Qi Dynasty really represented was the Tai'a Sword in the hands of Emperor Tianxing.

This jade seal is just a formal substitute.

As long as the emperor is willing, he can take back the power attached to the jade seal, as well as the power she has, at any time.

After all, she is only the steward of this dynasty, not its master.

She took a deep breath, clenched the jade seal, and her heart moved.

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out on the jade seal, like a golden flame, spreading rapidly to all sides, and soon enveloped Luoshui, covering the sky, making everyone present unable to open their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the jade talisman in the hands of each participant also rose with golden light, reflecting each other.

There was a dragon moan in the void, if there was nothing.

At this moment, Gu Xu felt that an invisible force came from the jade talisman, which was about to drag him into the void and send him to another world.

However, at this moment, an abrupt voice broke the solemn and solemn atmosphere.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

I saw that in the bright light, a tall young man hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.

He wore a dark blue robe, had a dark complexion, a scruffy beard, and a haggard face, and looked bitter and hateful.

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He has the ability to never forget, so he naturally easily recognized the identity of this young man.

It was Bai Chen, a feng shui master who was good at swordsmanship, he had seen in the audition.

Zhao Yan, who was not far away, also frowned slightly.

She also saw Bai Chen in her own house, and saw him talking face-to-face with her father, Zhao Changying, the Duke of Yan Guo, and knew that he was a very capable feng shui master who had recently cooperated with the Zhao family. The layout of the Zhao family's courtyard was designed with his help.

"For such a big event as the Luoshui Conference, he can even be late?"

She instantly felt that this person was a little unreliable.

At the same time, she also wondered if her father had drunk too much recently and had a confused brain, so he would choose to cooperate with such an unreliable person.
