Qian Shaobai was sitting on the couch, slowly spitting out, when suddenly his eyes opened and looked to the east with a suspicious gaze.

"What happened?"

A martial artist in the same room leaned against the wall with his sword, and when he saw Qian Shaobai like this, he showed a somewhat vigilant expression, and raised his hand to hold the hilt of the sword.

"I sensed the commotion of the qi machine in the distance, and the sound of the tiger's roar came into the sea of knowledge, which could be heard clearly." Qian Shaobai was suspicious: "This tiger roar has the ability to control evil and kill ghosts, and the sound spreads for hundreds of miles, and when the demons and ghosts in Fangyuan hear it, they will all be frightened and retreat." ”

The sword-hugging warrior said: "If you don't hide it like this, you want to be a master of Huaxu Kingdom." ”

"It should be the Marquis of Zhenming." Qian Shaobai got up: "I have long heard that he is currently in Shangling County, but I don't know where it is. ”

The sword-hugging warrior frowned, and a faint scar was visible on his eyebrows: "Being able to spread the sound of a hundred miles with magic, this Zhenming Marquis's cultivation is far beyond expectations." ”

Qian Shaobai shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." There is a set of immortal bells on Tiancheng Mountain, and after ringing, it can be heard for thousands of miles. Thousands of miles away, ordinary people don't hear it, but all the disciples of my Shangjing Sect can sense it. If the mountain is attacked by a great enemy, the bell will be ringed, and by the number of times the bell is sounded, the people will know whether to rush to the aid of the mountain or gather elsewhere.

Just now, the sound of the tiger's roar came, and I sensed that the earth's leyline qi was also affected, like a tide surging. It is rumored that the Marquis of Zhenming was ordered to arrange mandalas in various parts of Huaxu Kingdom, and the location of his people must be located in the place where the leyline qi machine originated. In the middle of the spell, the natural effect is far-reaching. ”

The sword-hugging warrior's eyes flashed: "We disguised ourselves as merchants and went all the way deep into Huaxu Kingdom, and we inquired about the news of this Zhenming Marquis, but most of them were rumors in the rivers and lakes, false and untrue. In my opinion, what he does is more like a cool official, not like a cultivator. ”

"Marquis Zhenming is the heir of the praise official, and it is not uncommon to be like a cool official." Qian Shaobai said with a smile: "During the Tianxia Dynasty, the praise officials swept away obscenity, cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and they would inevitably be hindered by the intricate forces in the local area. At this point, the only way to do this is to use some cool means. ”

The sword-hugging warrior asked, "I thought the salute officials were a group of polite gentlemen. ”

"There must be a gentleman, but not all." Qian Shaobai said: "Just like Xiao Yuluo who attacked the northern Xinjiang. At that time, the Youlu Liugong Weihe was monstrous, and there were more than 100,000 people who controlled the strings under his command, and three times in ten years, the soldiers approached the emperor's capital, which became the biggest border trouble in the early years of the Tianxia Dynasty.

But later, Xiao Yuluo ordered the gods to behead the six palaces of the gods, and surrounded the Beidi tribes that belonged to the six palaces in Puchang Shanyin, regardless of men, women, old and young, and hundreds of thousands of people were beheaded. Then it summoned the heavenly fire, crushed the bones and scattered ashes, and turned the 800 miles of abundant water and grass into a desert. ”

"Well done." The sword-hugging warrior's face was gloomy: "In the past, Xuanju once captured the emperor's capital, and the people of Middle Earth were killed, and the death of Rong Di tens of millions of times is not enough to atone for his sins!" ”

Qian Shaobai reminded: "One of the reasons why Xuanju called on all the departments in northern Xinjiang to go south was to avenge the destruction of the Six Palaces and the massacre of Puchang. ”

"You used to stay on Tiancheng Mountain to cultivate, I don't know how many disasters the people at the border will suffer every time Rong Di crosses the border and plunders." The sword-wielding warrior pulled his turban back, revealing a horrific scar that stretched from the corner of his brow to the top of his head:

"When I was only seven years old, my head was almost split open when the Beidi rangers came to plunder, and my father, two brothers, and many relatives all died at the hands of Rong Di."

"There will be no liberation from such retribution." Qian Shaobai sighed: "The Praise Officer who stayed in the emperor's capital back then chose to risk his life to resist the army of the Xuan Netherworld, not only to buy time for the people to evacuate, but also to break the grudge. ”

"Innocent!" The sword-hugging warrior snorted coldly: "Those salute officials are all dead, what is the result? Afterwards, Rong Di still scattered and rebelled, killing Middle-earth and mourning, and hundreds of people were ravaged. Qian Yuanjun, you are young, you have never seen that kind of scene. ”

Qian Shaobai had no choice but to say: "Your scar is too conspicuous, I'll get you some elixir to transform scars and grow muscles afterwards." ”

"No!" The sword-hugging warrior put on his turban again: "With this clear will, I will warn myself not to forget my deep hatred." ”

Qian Shaobai had nothing to say, and then looked at the door as if he had a feeling, and after a while, a voice came from outside the house: "Master Qian, the son is free today, please move to see you." ”

"It's finally here." Qian Shaobai waited for many days, and quickly opened the door, a subordinate stood outside the door, looked carefully, and found that the other party was wearing a bamboo green brocade robe, obviously a noble servant.

Qian Shaobai made a deep sigh and said with a smile: "Brother hard work came to inform, a little courtesy, not respect." ”

Before the words were finished, Qian Shaobai stuffed a silver cake into the other party's palm and thanked him repeatedly.

After receiving the silver cake, the brocade-robed servant's brows immediately relaxed, and his face was full of smiles: "Don't worry, Master Qian, today's son is on the rise." As long as you give a gift that makes Childe feel new and interesting, he may be able to help you get things done. ”

"If it can be done, Qian Mou will definitely be indispensable for the little brother's thank you gift afterwards!" Qian Shaobai looked humble.

The brocade-robed servant looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "For your sensible sake, I remind you of one thing. When you enter the hall later, if the prince asks the maid to serve wine, you must drink it! ”

Qian Shaobai was unclear for a while, and asked, "The main family offers tea and wine, and of course I want to drink it as a guest." I just don't know what to pay attention to? ”

The brocade-robed servant hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't ask about the money, I'm already taking a big risk when I say this." You'll find out later! ”

Qian Shaobai didn't ask any more questions, so he led the sword-hugging warrior and followed the brocade-robed servant, through several courtyards, along the zigzag corridor, and saw that the gardens on both sides were peachy and willow green and flowers blooming even in winter.

Qian Shaobai, who was born in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, knew that such a scene of plants, trees and flowers that violated the solar terms of the heavens must have a high-ranking arrangement, creating a small atmosphere that was completely different from the outside in the manor.

It looks like an ordinary plant and flower, but for them to bloom and germinate at the same time, it takes a very delicate arrangement.

"I have long heard that in order to avoid the war, the Kanyu division of the Tianxia Dynasty fled to Dongtu at the invitation of Liang Tao." Qian Shaobai thought about it in his heart: "Not only does it make the land within a short radius of its own, but it also has the effect of nourishing vitality, which is not inferior to the elder who chiseled and built the Shenzhi Garden on the mountain." It's a pity that such a skill is used to build gardens for the children of the gentlemen. ”

Qian Shaobai sighed silently, and followed the brocade robe slave to the edge of the lake, even if it was nine in the middle of winter, the lake water had never frozen. The white gas is steaming and rolling on the water surface, and the light smoke fills the feet, and the stone lamps beside the road emit wisps of incense smoke, which makes people mistakenly think that they are in a fairyland on the clouds.

Along the bluestone slab road by the lake, come to a towering platform, you can see the swaying of vermilion curtains in the distance, the staggered stacking of gold and jade screens, the bamboo silk orchestra plays a beautiful sound, and the enchanting queen Yanwa dances out of the shadows.

There are still hundreds of steps away from the building, and a strong aroma of wine comes to his face, and Qian Shaobai exclaimed a few times, thinking that the richness of Huaxu Country is really far beyond imagination. He has also been in and out of the palace of the emperor's capital, but he has never seen such a poor and extravagant style.

When I came to the outside of the building, I raised my eyes and saw the words "Floating Lotus Picking" hanging above. Qian Shaobai couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "It's obviously a secluded and idle word, but it has made a case full of gold and jade, and the wine is rich. ”

"Master Qian, please come in!" The brocade-robed servant whispered.

Qian Shaobai was about to step forward, but a man in a strong suit outside the building raised his hand to stop: "Who is coming?" ”

"This is ......"

The brocade-robed servant was about to reply, but the man in the strong suit refused: "I didn't ask you." ”

Qian Shaobai didn't dare to be careless, made a deep gesture, and showed a flattering smile: "Qian is the head of the Three Treasures Society, and he came to meet Wang Gongzi." ”

The man in the suit asked again, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Three Treasures Society first came to Guibao Land, hoping to rely on the Chiyang Wang clan and ask for a trade letter." Qian Shaobai took a lacquer box from the hand of the martial artist behind him: "Inside is a meeting gift for Wang Gongzi." ”

The man in the suit opened the lacquer box and saw a gold ball inlaid with seven-colored pearls and jade on a book.

"What is this?" The man in the suit was vigilant and did not take the initiative to pick up the golden ball.

"This is the Seven Heavenly Ball made by the Thousand Machine Pavilion Master a few years ago." Qian Shaobai said: "It is used to entertain Wang Gongzi, not a murderous thing." ”

The man in the suit looked at it a few times, then raised his eyes to look at Qian Shaobai, and then pointed to the sword-holding warrior behind him: "This person can't go in, stay far away." ”

Qian Shaobai turned his head and gestured, the sword-hugging warrior bowed his head and bowed his hand, turned around and walked away quickly.

"Let's go inside." The man in the power suit waved his hand casually, and Qian Shaobai could enter the exquisite building with endless singing and dancing.

The building is divided into three layers, Qian Shaobai holds the wooden box, follows behind the slave in the brocade robe, and before entering, he has to take off his shoes and boots, and the feet are covered with a woven gold and vermilion blanket, soft and warm, and after the corridor that spirals up, he comes to the highest empty lookout.

On the lookout, the cool breeze is blowing, not feeling the cold, the curtain is fluttering with the wind, there are already guests pushing the cup and changing the lamp, stroking the palm and singing on the two low seats on the left and right, and the concubines on all sides are lined up, blowing the flute and sheng, stroking the qin and zheng, and holding the wine jug. In the middle, there are more than a dozen dancers wearing tulle dresses, raising their water sleeves and moving lotus steps, or as light as a flying swallow, or able to lean on the ground, enchanting and moving, dancing extraordinary, making people dizzy.

And sitting on the main seat is a young man, with a disheveled crown, loose clothes, and a wet chest of wine. He sat casually, not leaning on each other, but leaning against a circle of concubines. They bare the snow on their chests, like a living nephrite jade on their faces, and the young son sometimes simply pillowed on the concubine's chest, and everyone around them took it for granted, which was not surprising.

I saw a dancing girl in the field soaring, and the water sleeves fluttered, and the petals turned into flowers in the air, falling like rain. Qian Shaobai was secretly shocked when he saw this, this woman had cultivation power, but she was not an ordinary dancer for people's fun.

Seeing this, the guests on the left and right cheered, and the young man smiled slightly, got up and pushed a wooden box on the case forward, and the gold beads and jewelry inside were poured out, and they fell all over the place.

"It's time for the rewards!" The young man waved his hand happily.

When the other dancers saw the gold beads at their feet, they hurriedly leaned over to pick them up, but only the flying dancer stood to help, smiling.

"What? You don't like it? The young man asked.

With these words, the music in the watchtower suddenly stopped, and the guests present did not dare to speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

"I don't have to fight with others about such mundane things." The Flying Dancer whispered.

The young man suddenly became interested: "Oh? Do you feel like you're different from everyone else? ”

"What Gongzi just saw is just the dance of Qiongbud." The Flying Dancing Girl said: "If you want to get a glimpse of the Moonlight Sky Dance, I am afraid that you can't be in the same league as the mortals." ”

The young man smiled: "I gave you the best dancers in the garden to train, but you said that this is not the best dance music?" ”

"Yes."

"Good!" The young man slapped the case, raised his hand and pointed at the rest of the dancers: "Drag these all down and cut them down!" ”

Those dancing girls were full of joy in their hearts, but they suddenly heard this, and they all kowtowed and begged for mercy, but the young man was extremely impatient, and waved his hand: "Han Sanjue, hurry up and get them away!" I can't hear these pleas for mercy! ”

As soon as the voice fell, the man in the suit flew to the lookout, flicked his wrist, and flew out several long ropes, binding the dancing girls, and then taking them away, leaving the screams echoing in the wind, making people shudder.

Qian Shaobai had long heard that this prince of Wang Zhongding was moody and tyrannical, but he didn't expect that he would give a big reward one moment and kill someone the next moment.

"Come here." Wang Zhongding beckoned to the Flying Dancing Girl, dragged her into his arms when she approached, and asked, "Your name is Miaoyinnu?" ”

"Exactly." The dancing girl's eyes were charming.

Wang Zhongding was interested, and directly tore the thin veil on Miaoyinnu's body, revealing a large area of milky white skin, and he was going to do the man and woman on the spot.

Seeing this, Zhiqu was about to leave the table, but Miao Yinnu struggled lightly a few times, and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, Childe, there are other guests waiting for you to summon you!" ”

Wang Zhongding raised his eyes and glanced at it, and saw Qian Shaobai standing in the corner at a loss, neither advancing nor retreating.

"Who are you? The noodles are very raw. Wang Zhongding asked.

"The villain is the money direction of the Three Treasures, and he knows that the Wang family of Chiyang is wealthy in all directions, and Wang Gongzi is even more benevolent and virtuous to help the needy. Therefore, the villain cheekily came to meet and begged for a trade letter. Qian Shaobai tried his best to flatter, and picked up the lacquer box: "A little thin courtesy, please ask Prince Wang to smile." ”

Wang Zhongding raised his chin, naturally a concubine went to take the lacquer box, he took out the golden ball inside, played with it, and was suddenly attracted by his gaze, and smiled: "Interesting." What's the name of this thing? ”

"This is the Seven Treasure Heavenly Ball made by the Thousand Machines Pavilion." Wang Zhongding explained: "The ball is divided into seven layers, overlapping in stages, each layer can rotate flexibly, and each layer has a different carved pattern. If the ball is driven by true qi, it can also stimulate the surface of the pearl and jade to spin like a star, emitting various colors of brilliance. ”

"Oh?" Wang Zhongding is not incompetent, he casually induces a wisp of true qi, the inner layer of the Tiangong ball rotates uncertainly, the surface of the pearl and jade shines, and a woman suddenly appears in the lookout with a sword in both hands, dancing posture.
