Chapter 151: Hidden Cruelty
The sun rises in the east, and the morning glow Puze land. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The roosters and dogs barked, the early morning of Dragon Slaying Town came very quietly but changed quickly, on this day, not only the official office but also the mercenary group were immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
Nangong Ping was dressed gorgeously, wearing a white jade sword inlaid with jade pearls on his waist, and a long placket made of good tiger skin, for fear that others would not know that he had a prominent status.
Early in the morning, the two elders changed out of their mercenary clothes, found a set of comfortable clothes at random, and gathered the members of the Martial God Academy, and followed Nangong Ping into the capital.
Nangong Ping shouted at the Chu envoy to carefully count the gold and silver treasures that had been collected in Tulong Town in the past few months, for fear that one or two gold coins would be left behind, which would cheapen the local officials.
Since Niu Heng, the former commander of Dragon Slaying Town, was killed, Niu Heng was like a grain of sand in the sea in the eyes of the royal family, and he was abandoned in a blink of an eye. After Nangong Ping arrived, he was not idle, on the one hand, he was encircling the big mercenary group, and on the other hand, he was bullying the small mercenary group, not doing the right thing, but he did a lot of bad things, and there were two carts of gold and silver treasures, all of which he had spent a lot of effort to get in the past few months.
The Chu envoy nodded and said, "General Nangong, don't worry, with me, nothing will be left behind." At the beginning, thanks to the general for giving me the opportunity to be promoted, I was able to make great contributions, and when I arrived in the capital in the future, I asked General Nangong to take care of me. ”
Chu made the thief tighten the rope and tried his best to curry favor with Nangong Ping.
Chu envoy knew that Nangong Ping was quite talented, and he had reached the peak of the human spirit realm in his early twenties, and his status was prominent, and the Nangong family behind Nangong Ping was even closer to the royal family of Chu State, and the power could cover up a piece of the sky.
Nangong Ping nodded with satisfaction and said, "Complete the task and swear to follow the eldest prince to the death, you will definitely have a bright future." ”
Just when Nangong Ping and the Chu envoy were discussing how to protect the two carts of gold and silver treasures, there were bursts of melodious music floating behind them. The two stopped to listen, the music got closer and closer, and the sound was extremely beautiful, neither Xiao Xiao nor flute, but a guqin that can only be enjoyed by everyone's show.
The music is high-pitched and beautiful.
Nangong Ping and Chu Envoy only felt that the sound of the piano was beautiful, and the person who played the piano was very human. However, everyone in the Martial God Academy burst into tears and stared at the Southern Spirit Domain.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but feel sad, only to feel that the sound of the piano was even more sad and melancholy than when he heard it in the Jingsi Pavilion of the Yue King's Palace, with the helplessness of the ups and downs of fate, just like the sad and pitiful life of the piano player.
Jiang Ling let out a sigh, sighed, and slowly walked to the carriage with one or two beaded curtains fragrant, and persuaded: "Princess, it's time to go." ”
Ling Yao's tears were shining, and Qian Qianyu's fingers were fiddling with the guqin placed in the lid of the incense car, and with a slam of her backhand, the strings were broken, and the 'Homeland Acacia Song' also came to an abrupt end.
This song is born from the heart.
Parting, helpless, this time, will step into the fire pit, and never return to the Southern Spirit Domain.
This song, the end of the song, the end of the song.
Heartbreaking, relieved, this time, will be a complete escape from the court life of King Yue, the longing for the heroic time of the chivalrous woman wandering the world.
Ling Yao put on a dignified and elegant dress again, wearing red makeup and a faint fragrance of flowers, she pulled down the curtain of the car and said lightly: "Lin Jiang, remember what you promised me." ”
Nangong Ping was intoxicated by Princess Ling Yao's intoxicated piano sound, and he was amazed that Princess Ling Yao of the Southern Spirit Domain was so versatile and so beautiful as a flower.
He sighed: "Alas, the emperor's order cannot be violated, but it is a pity that a generation of stunning beauties stepped into the fire pit like this." ”
"Let's go!"
When everyone in the Martial God Academy heard Ling Yao play the 'Homeland Acacia Song' that was well known to the women and children of the Southern Spirit Domain, they all burst into tears, and they had nothing to do except tell themselves in their hearts that they must win the competition and go back to guard the Southern Spirit Domain.
Ling Yao's marriage was an agreement reached by the three kings of the Southern Spirit Domain, and no one dared to violate the ironclad fact, so they had to hold back their tears and escort Princess Ling Yao safely into the capital of Chu State, even if the mission was completed.
Elder Xuanfeng squinted, took out the wine jug, thought about it, put it back on his waist, and said solemnly: "Do you know what the reason why Xingqi Pavilion can be ranked first among the six major academies?"
Tietou has followed Xuan Feng for the longest time, and he is Xuan Feng's big apprentice, he has never heard Xuan Feng talk about serious topics so seriously,
Tietou thought for a moment and said, "The Xingqi Academy has the support of the Ancient Spirit Clan Chu Clan behind it, and it is the strongest. ”
Elder Xuanfeng shook his head and vetoed.
Elder Niu Li knew what Xuan Feng meant when he said this, and he bowed his head in shame, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of ruthlessness.
The butcher and the scholar had never seen the two elders have such expressions, and the butcher opened his big mouth and said in surprise: "Two elders, let's be straightforward! You have all participated in the competition with the team of the Martial God Academy for many years, and you know the truth better than those of us who have only participated in the first year. ”
The scholar also echoed: "Two elders, please rest assured, with us, we will not embarrass the Martial God Academy, my brush sword is specialized in stabbing chrysanthemums." ”
Black Hammer and Jiang Ling didn't know what the two elders meant, so they came over one after another.
Xuan Feng smiled bitterly: "It's because our two old guys have led the team to participate in the competition over the years, but have you ever seen us bring the team members back?"
When Xuan Feng said this, everyone was shocked, it is true that the two elders have to select team members to participate in the competition every year, but when they came back, only the two elders came back alone, and they didn't see the team members.
The sword idiot touched his head and said, "Didn't King Yue say to the outside world that those who participated in the competition for the Southern Spirit Domain traveled like the Sword Wuji Grandmaster in order to better improve their cultivation?"
Xuan Feng and Niu Li glanced at each other and lowered their heads in shame.
Niu Li said slowly: "That is to appease the people, King Yue said this, they did not travel far, but all died in the secret realm of Xingqi Pavilion. ”
"What, all dead?"
The news of the explosion exploded all at once.
Jiang Ling was stunned, he didn't expect that the Star Chess Pavilion competition would be so dangerous, and asked, "Is this competition extraordinary?"
Xuan Feng took a sip of wine and said truthfully: "You have arrived in the Chu State, there is no turning back, it's time to tell you the truth, the competition in the Star Chess Pavilion is not controlled by people, but people are willing to send them to death." ”
The butcher asked even more suspiciously: "Wouldn't it be the same as a pig to be slaughtered, the Five Great Dao Sects, the Six Great Academies, and other sects would be so stupid to send them to death?"
Xuan Feng continued: "Yes, it's all voluntary. There is a wormhole left over from ancient times in the Xingqi Pavilion in the Xingqi Courtyard, and this wormhole is connected to a magical secret realm, and the secret realm is imposed, and a powerful enchantment is imposed, which automatically opens for a period of time every year. 10,000 years ago, countless masters in the mainland broke in, the dean of the Martial God Academy, Jian Wuji, was one of them, according to the manuscript he left, he found countless treasures in the secret realm after entering, there were traces of ancient beasts, and later, the secret realm changed, the eternal chess game came, countless masters fell, and some people escaped by luck, and then the Xingqi Pavilion called on all sects to send teams to enter the treasure hunt according to the time when the secret realm opened. ”
Elder Niu Li continued: "The old drunkard and I have been in there a few times before, and we have encountered different accidents, but we have no choice but to escape, and the team members we brought with us have all died inexplicably. ”
"A chess game through the ages?"
Jiang Ling heard this word again, and his eyes were stunned. He remembered that when he was in Ranshi Village, it was precisely because a chessboard appeared in the sky, and then two rays of light, one white and one black, flowed into his body that he was able to come back from the dead and obtain the body of the sun.
This time, when I heard that there was an eternal chess game in the secret realm of the Star Chess Pavilion, I was overjoyed, and I wished I could go in as soon as possible, and change my life against the sky according to the visit chess game explained by the iron-blooded patriarch.
Elder Xuanfeng was silent for a moment, and said: "This year, the Star Chess Academy has postponed the date of the competition, it must be that the secret realm has changed, and the opening time has been delayed, and at the same time, the invitation object of the Star Chess Pavilion is no longer the Five Great Dao Sect and the Six Great Academies, but regardless of the sect, regardless of good or evil, they can all enter the secret realm. ”
Elder Niu Li swept away his frustration and shouted: "Since you are here, don't admit it, give me a spirit, prepare well, after entering, beware, the secret realm is both a danger and an opportunity, 10,000 years ago, the people who were able to get out of the secret realm alive, now which one is not a legend, most of them are the masters and ancestors of the various factions, and the strong people who gallop the continent." ”
Xuan Feng nodded in agreement and said: "The Sword Wuji Ancestor got some magical things in the secret realm back then to achieve the reputation of the Sword Forger Ancestor, and the chain mail on the iron head was brought out by me and Niu Li last time. ”
After several secret realm changes, the two elders seriously reflected on it, and then selected the best team to participate.
Because, they still remember, the last time they entered the secret realm, most of the disciples were not killed by the dangerous environment inside, but by other sects.
In the secret realm, in order to snatch a treasure, it is common to rob and kill each other, not to mention, this time, the Star Chess Pavilion has expanded the invitation objects, and even a murderous evil sect like the Blood Pool Cave has participated, and the situation is even more unusual.
Iron Head touched the chain mail on his chest, and said without a trace of fear, "I'm willing to go in." ”
Tietou took the lead in agreeing, and the others also wanted to try their luck and become a strong man galloping on the continent, and they all agreed, but no one objected.
Although they also secretly blamed the two elders for concealing the fact that the seniors they had sent in earlier had died, they did not hold a grudge against the Martial God Academy.
The sword idiot's eyes were hazy, and he said coldly: "Thank you, Elder, I finally know my father's whereabouts." ”
Hearing this, everyone remembered that the father of the sword idiot was one of the previous batches of competitions, but he never came back.
The sword idiot learned that his father had left Heya and traveled far away with him, but he didn't believe it, so he wanted to join the team, but when he came, he wanted to serve the Yue country, so he came to inquire about his father's whereabouts.
It wasn't until the two elders told the truth that the sword idiot knew that his father had died in the secret realm of the Star Chess Pavilion.
Jiang Ling has no father or mother since he was a child, but he can understand the pain of knowing that the person closest to him is dead, just like the pain of the death of the iron blood and the clan, Jiang Ling is almost about to fall and dig a hundred graves.
"Brother Sword Idiot, you can do it, I believe in you. ”
