55 Scarlet Ruins II
Since its establishment two hundred years ago, the Xia Federation has taken the parliament as the central body, elected the first speaker as the leader, and set up 36 prefectures as administrative units, and set up various prefecture-level cities under one state. The highest governor in the state is the governor of the prefecture, and his term of office is three five-year terms.
There are only thirty-six Mansion Masters in the entire Xia Federation, and all of them are people with extraordinary abilities.
The selection of the lord of the mansion is one level higher, and the situation in each state is different, but it is not only the Force that can be the lord of the mansion. Many city-level consuls are ordinary people, and some are not even martial artists, but they are protected by special personnel, so there is no need to worry about security.
The same is true for the Mansion Masters, among the thirty-six Mansion Masters, twenty-three are powerful Force Masters, and the remaining thirteen are martial artists and ordinary people.
The council's definition of this supernatural ability does not refer to strength, some are wisdom, some are wealth, and some are even social skills. - Even ordinary people are not useless, and they also have an incomparable shining point. Unlike those radical Force Force, each member of parliament still focuses on ordinary people in the formulation of policies.
Otherwise, there is no need to set up any administrative units, just let the Force set up their own sects, and then recruit disciples, screen the strong, eliminate the weak, treat mortals as ants, herd a country's lambs, and slaughter them like cattle and sheep at any time.
It's like the Dark Age.
But in fact, coming out of such an era of cannibalism, it is impossible for the civilized society of modern mankind to return to the primitive and rough law of the forest under the condition of peaceful and stable development.
Huang Qi, as the lord of Nanwu Prefecture, naturally couldn't watch the bloody ruins being opened. As soon as he appeared at this time, he didn't care about Lin Kongzhi at all, but went straight to this staircase, trying to destroy this medium.
As for the grudge between Lin Kongzhi and the mansion master, it may go back to the previous generation, and the reason why he wanted to open the bloody ruins this time was because he wanted to end this blood feud.
At this time, when the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed.
The moment he saw the mansion master appear, the aura on Lin Kongzhi's body became a little unstable, but when he saw the other party flying towards the Zhu Yan steps, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, "I've spent so many years of hard work to lay down this game like walking on thin ice, Huang Qi... How can you break it?"
Just when the blue light was about to touch the stairs, the middle and upper floors of the Zhu Yan Stairs suddenly cracked a large mouth of blood from between the stairs, this big mouth was full of sharp teeth, and it was still chewing, making a 'twing' piercing sound, and a large amount of flesh and blood churned in its mouth, among which were the corpses of the martial artists who had been killed before.
Then in this bloody mouth, he suddenly spit out the phantom of a huge fierce beast, this phantom of the beast resembles an ape, with a white head and bare feet, and the body is wrapped in armor made of red copper.
Roar!!!
This is the shadow of Zhu Yan, the fierce beast that appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and has left traces in different mythological stories.
At this time, it was obviously just a faint phantom, but the murderous aura it emitted was almost condensed into substance.
The bronze bell-like pupils of this Zhu disgusted shadow swept across, and he glanced at the approaching blue light, the fierce light in his eyes was great, and his body quickly became larger, and he directly galloped over, enveloping the blue light.
Boom!
When the two collided, a large cloud of light exploded from it, and then in the airspace where they clashed, a red curtain was formed, blocking everything from the outside world, and the situation inside instantly blurred.
"Is this Zhu Yan?" Seeing this scene, Uncle Heta's bearded beard subconsciously licked his mouth and sighed in surprise: "It's the first time I've seen this thing, but I didn't expect those myths and stories to be true." ”
Originally, they had other plans for the bloody ruins, but now seeing the appearance of Zhu Yan's shadow, they were sure of something.
"This is not the real Zhu Yan, it is just a shadow containing a trace of power, relying on the blood sacrifice just now. It is not a threat to Huang Qi's life, but it should be okay to stop it for a while. Lin Kongzhi smiled, he had been laying out for more than ten years, and naturally took this into account: "The shadow of Zhu Yan will form an exclusive domain for the enemy, trap it inside, and it will not be lifted until the shadow disappears." In this process, even if Huang Qi wanted to make a move on us, he couldn't do it. But you have to be careful, don't go near that red field, that thing doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, and don't think about it for a few days after being trapped. ”
"I see. Uncle Bearded Beard rolled his eyes, and then looked up at the staircase that connected to the sky, "But how long does it take for this thing to absorb flesh and blood before it can be completely condensed?"
"At the current pace, in about an hour or two, this ladder can be completely formed. Lin Kongzhi glanced at the two uncles next to him, and his face was sincere: "But during this period, if there is a third party to stop you, you will have to rely on Chen Zuozhi to make a move." ”
"That's nature, that's part of the agreement. ”
Chen Zuoshou and the uncle next to him nodded, didn't say anything, just quietly watched the formation of the stairs.
......
Inside the venue.
Looking at the situation outside through the glass window, the sparrow and the black-clothed muscular man stopped moving, and their expressions changed, "The bloody ruins are actually in the sky!" We were all deceived by Lin Kongzhi, he not only did it in advance, but also told us the wrong place. ”
The main quest only says to help Lin Kongzhi, but it doesn't make any information accurate to the slightest. They knew they had to open the bloody ruins, but they didn't know where they were or how they were opened.
Lin Kongyi said at first that it was underground, and then met at the back door at night, but now not only did he not do it at the appointed time, but even the location of the ruins was not underground.
This shows a very serious problem, Lin Kongzhi didn't believe them from beginning to end. - Although the Scarlet Book will help them blind the perception of the natives and facilitate the identity of the Descendant to merge and lurk, it will not determine the thinking ability of the natives.
The team of Sparrow and the black-clothed muscular man did obtain the status of guest of the Zhenwu School, but even the cronies of the Zhenwu School could not get Lin Kongzhi's trust, let alone outsiders like them?
"Sure enough, according to what is written on the task, Lin Kongzhi is suspicious by nature, and the difficulty will increase in disguise, this cunning old fox!"
The sparrow scolded in a low voice.
The punishment for the failure of their mission is soul obliteration, so there will be no such thing as temporary betrayal at all, and Lin Kongzhi is like this, which obviously makes it more difficult for them to survive.
"In that case, let's stop killing for the time being, let's go and join up with those allies first to increase our chances of survival. ”
The muscular man in black also looked a little unsightly, but he just grabbed the sparrow and said in a deep voice.
