"So, you mean, those black armors are all pretended to be the former Xizhou Sword Armor?" In an alley in the east of the city, Chu Zhaozhao asked while nibbling on the steamed buns he had just bought, while staring at Chu Qingxiao sitting on the steps.
Chu Qingxiao shook his head and said, "It's not pretending, they should be controlled by someone." ”
"The black armor before almost killed you, but as soon as I took off his mask, he suddenly lost his combat power, and his whole body went limp."
Chu Zhaozhao carefully recalled the reaction of the black armor before, and it was indeed exactly the same as what Chu Qingxiao said.
"At that time, the candlestick controlled them?" Chu Zhaozhao said his reasoning, "Or maybe it's that false god." ”
Chu Qingxiao said: "Although my memory is fragmented, but that old Taoist priest, I don't think he will be our enemy, he may be imprisoned in that courtyard, and like these Xizhou sword armor, he is controlled by Candle Yin." ”
"And the reason why I was able to find the weakness of the black armor was because someone had sent the message to my head in a way that I couldn't understand at that time."
"Didn't you say that the qi of the false god also existed in that mansion? I wonder if he could be secretly helping. ”
Chu Zhaozhao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe." But what I have reminded you is that from the previous Great Zhou Dynasty to the present, whether it is the Northern Dynasty Great Wei or our Great Yu, there are countless things of false god trouble. ”
"It's not easy to find a white jade in a puddle of mud."
Chu Qingxiao was silent, obviously not planning to dwell on this issue.
Chu Zhaozhao didn't care about this stubble, she took another bite of the steamed bun in her hand, and said: "This courtyard has also entered, and the Xizhou Sword Armor has also seen it, now you won't suspect that I'm a liar anymore, right?" ”
This question made Chu Qingxiao bow his head and fall into silence.
The strange courtyard of the house, the cry that only he could hear in the courtyard, and the black armor that looked exactly the same as the Xizhou Sword Armor in his dream were undoubtedly confirming that this Wuling City where he had lived for more than ten years was hiding secrets.
Chu Zhaozhao probably also understood that it would take some time to fully accept such a fact, so she didn't urge, just waited quietly.
After a while, Chu Qingxiao raised his head and looked at Chu Zhaozhao.
"But why is this happening?"
"If the candleshade really exists, isn't their purpose to transform this realm into a dark realm?"
"Why do you need to keep us in captivity and hide everything that has happened here?"
"What exactly is their purpose?" Chu Qingxiao frowned tightly and asked.
Chu Zhaozhao shook his head: "I don't know more than you, I just took the order of Uncle Xiao to pick you up and Uncle Chu to go to Tianhang Mountain, I thought it would be ...... to come here."
Speaking of this, Chu Zhaozhao paused, and then said: "I thought I would experience a fierce battle, but I didn't want to enter the city, but what I saw was the lights of thousands of homes...... Therefore, what happened in Wuling City, this mystery can only be solved by ourselves. ”
Speaking of this, she looked at Wang Che beside her again.
This prince has been silent since he escaped from the mansion, and he is even more blind at the moment and doesn't know what he is thinking.
Chu Zhaozhao touched him with his elbow, and the prince who was in a trance, was shocked, and let out a low cry in his mouth, only then did he come back to his senses and look at Chu Zhaozhao blankly.
"What's going on? Scared stupefied? Chu Zhaozhao squinted and asked with a smile, his tone a little playful.
"I didn't ...... No. Wang Che replied a little absent-mindedly, and then looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked, "So that guy just now is Candle Yin, and you don't have hysteria?" Are all of that true? ”
Before Chu Qingxiao could respond to this question, Chu Zhaozhao preemptively said: "Those black armors are not candle yin, they are Xizhou sword armor controlled by candle yin. ”
"I just said so much to Chu Qingxiao, and you didn't listen to a word?"
Chu Zhaozhao's suspicious gaze made Wang Che dodge a little, and he said, "Fang Cai...... I just thought of something else......"
"Something else? Why can't you accept that Uncle Xiao doesn't like you? Chu Zhaozhao did not forget to joke.
"Still unwilling not to get the invitation of Biyun City?"
"Nope." Wang Che lowered his head and replied sullenly.
Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao secretly thought that her words had hit the other party, and she was a little unbearable, but she was really not very good at comforting people, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Chu Qingxiao hurriedly interjected: "You have also seen the combat power of the black armor, Miss Chu is not an opponent, this is just one, when we fled today, there were at least seven or eight killed, and this may not be all of them." ”
"If you want to unlock the secret, you must sneak into the mansion, then with our ability, ten lives are not enough."
When these words came out, Chu Zhaozhao was obviously also aware of the problem they were facing them.
She sighed and naturally sat beside Chu Qingxiao, and said: "The black armor on those guys is very strange, even if I bombard it with spiritual power, I can't hurt half of that armor, if I can find a way to break through their armor, maybe I still have the strength to fight." ”
Chu Qingxiao thought of something, looked at Chu Zhaozhao again and asked, "Aren't you Tianhang Mountain famous for using swords?" What about your sword? Your fists can't break through their armor, so you can use your sword......"
Chu Zhaozhao glanced at Chu Qingxiao: "What do you know?" ”
"It is true that the swordsmanship of Tianhang Mountain is unique in the world, but the most important reason why Tianhang Mountain can stand for a hundred years in the north and south dynasties and is considered to be the head of the sword path in the world is the Yaoguang Sword Pool located between Qingque Peak and Shenhe Peak!"
"The disciples of Tianhang Mountain will send their swords into it after their deaths, and if the younger generations are recognized by the spirit swords, they can take the sword and use it, and then send the saber into the sword pool after death."
"Over the past eight hundred years, the sword intent and painstaking efforts of countless sages in Tianhang Mountain have gathered, which has created the Yaoguang Sword Pool that makes sword cultivators all over the world fascinated."
"Today, in the Yaoguang Sword Pool, there are thirty-six Tiangang Divine Sword, seventy-two Earth Demon King Sword, and there are more than seven thousand spiritual swords."
"Every three years, the Yaoguang Sword Pool will be open to inner disciples, allowing them to go to the Sword Pool to ask for swords. Among them, there are some disciples whose talents are not surprising, who have been recognized by the Divine Sword King and have soared to the sky since then. ”
"For the disciples of Tianhang Mountain, the trip to ask the sword is the most important part of the cultivation path, and countless disciples have been preparing for today for several years or even more than ten years."
"The method of cultivating the sword that I practice is the method prepared for asking the sword, before asking the sword, only in the body to cultivate the sword intent, never use the sword, the sword intent in the body over the years becomes extremely powerful, it is the time to ask the sword."
"The more majestic the sword intent that can explode in the body, the greater the chance of getting the approval of the spirit sword at the higher level."
"But before that, once the sword is used, the sword intent is leaked, and years of penance will be ruined."
"I have been practicing the sword cultivation technique for twelve years, so that I can ask the day of the sword, so before that, even if I die, I will not be able to hold the sword."
Although this reason is not a secret, it is unheard of for Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che, who are in the border city.
Chu Qingxiao secretly thought that in the Yao Light Sword Pool, the scene of the resonance of thousands of divine swords couldn't help but be a little yearning.
He sighed: "It would be great if I could go and see the Yao Light Sword Pool......
"There is a chance, as long as we can solve the mystery of this Wuling City. When the time comes, I will show you the way, this girl still has some reputation in Tianhang Mountain, this kind of trivial matter, you can catch it! Chu Zhaozhao patted his chest and said very arrogantly.
Chu Qingxiao smiled and was about to say something.
"Qingxiao."
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came.
The three of them all looked behind them at this time, but they saw seven or eight figures wearing official uniforms walking quickly.
The man at the head is in his early forties, tall and resolute.
"Uncle Cao." Chu Qingxiao hurriedly stood up, but the pain from his ankle made his body unstable, but fortunately, Chu Zhaozhao's eyes were quick and he reached out to support him.
The man's name is Cao Shugong, and he is Chu Yueshan's former colleague, and the relationship between the two is good, and Chu Qingxiao is also familiar with him.
"Is Uncle Cao patrolling here?" Chu Qingxiao asked politely.
But Cao Shugong, who was kind to Chu Qingxiao in the past, looked extremely indifferent, and he shook his head: "I'm here to find you." ”
"Looking for me?" Chu Qingxiao was stunned.
"Where are you after noon today?" Cao Shugong asked.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, his face changed slightly, and when he looked at the group of menacing servants behind Cao Shugong, he immediately reacted: "Is it the Zhu family who reported the case?" ”
Chu Zhaozhao also looked vigilant when he heard this.
"Cao Yashi, things are not what you think, then the Zhu family ......" And Wang Che also recalled, he subconsciously wanted to explain.
But before the words came out, they were interrupted by Chu Qingxiao: "Uncle Cao, there is indeed some misunderstanding here, we are just greedy for fun, and we entered the mansion without malicious intent." ”
The experience in the past few months has made Chu Qingxiao very clear that what they have seen and heard sounds like a fantasy to the ears of others, and the more they talk, the more suspicious others become.
Rather than that, it is better to avoid the important and light, and see if you can turn the big things into small things and small things.
When Uncle Cao heard this, he was noncommittal, but just said in a deep voice: "Come back to the yamen with me first, and the rest will be talked about later." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, several officials behind him also stepped forward, vaguely surrounding the three of them.
"Can't go with them! Behind this, there must be candles playing tricks! Seeing that this was wrong, Chu Zhaozhao hurriedly said.
Now there are all kinds of signs that the infiltration of Candle Yin into Wuling City has reached several terrible levels, and the official in front of him cannot be said to be the minions of Candle Yin.
Of course, Chu Qingxiao also understood this truth, he looked at Uncle Cao and said, "Uncle Cao, my cousin and Brother Wang and I just stole anything on a whim, so there's no need to make such a big fuss, right?" ”
"I'll ask my dad to invite you for a drink when I get back."
But when Cao Shugong, who usually takes care of him, heard this, his face became more and more gloomy.
"Stealing? Chu Qingxiao, you didn't steal......"
Cao Shugong said coldly, but the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "But you killed his Zhu family's nursing home!" ”
