The big snake in front of him is not the one that Yingzheng has seen before.

No wonder it doesn't recognize Yingzheng.

But why do you also call yourself Candle Nine Shadows?

"Don't doubt." Candle Jiuyou seemed to see Ying Zheng's concerns, and said, "Our candle eye lineage is called Candle Jiuyou, and the distinction between them is also determined by the order of the clan. ”

It turns out that there is still a group of people in this Candle Nine Shadows, and there must be a lot of them.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked: "Then dare to ask how much the seniors rank in the clan, and it will be easy to distinguish between them in the future." ”

"Twenty-seven years old." Candle Jiuyou said, "From now on, you can also call this year like this." ”

Twenty-seven, which means twenty-seven, is such a strange name.

"Remember." Ying Zheng arched his hand and said, "I don't know, did the seniors follow the orders of the predecessors and wait here?" ”

But he didn't wait for Candle Nine Youxi to answer, only to hear a roar from the depths of the mountain forest next to him, the sound was not loud, but it was extremely clear.

The next moment, I saw the sunset flickering and moving, and quickly rushed here.

When ordinary people saw this giant beast, they must have been scared, but Ying Zheng was extremely happy when he saw it.

I finally met an acquaintance.

No, it's a cooked beast.

Xi's speed was fast, but the sound was not loud, and after running in front of Yingzheng, he stopped suddenly.

"King Qin, you're here." Although it had just run a short distance, the breath of the night was very steady.

Ying Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "I've seen Senior Xi." ”

"Hiss......" said Twenty-Seven, "this is indeed the Tiancheng boy you are talking about." ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

Xi Qianxiang leaned in and said in a low voice: "This year noticed that the army had entered the mountainside, so I guessed that it was you who came, but I still couldn't rest assured, so I let Candle Jiuyou wait in the cave, and I patrolled it alone, and when I saw that there was nothing unusual, I came back." ”

"I see." Ying Zheng seemed to think of something, and asked urgently, "Li Si followed him into the cave together, but he disappeared in the fog in a blink of an eye, I don't know if the two seniors saw it." ”

"Don't worry, he's on his own." Twenty-seven spat out the snake letter and said, "I feel it. ”

"And where did he go?" Ying Zheng asked.

Xi said, "Don't worry, you'll see him in a while." ”

"Could it be that he secretly left to find Jianwei's senior?" Ying Zheng wondered.

Xi bowed down and said, "Come up, Ben Sui will take you to him." ”

Ying Zheng responded, jumped on Xi's back, and grabbed two locks of mane, only to feel that the mane was much softer than before.

Xi walked a few steps forward, followed by a run.

Twenty-seven followed behind, don't look at the legs, the speed is not slow at all.

Still turning left and right, jumping up and down, Xi carried Yingzheng to an extremely secret place.

Yingzheng has never been to this place, and he hasn't even seen it when he was exploring the mountain, maybe he didn't bring him with him on purpose.

It seems to be in a circular valley, but I don't know why, the birds are constantly chirping, one after another in all directions, like a wave of sound constantly churning.

When they reached a cave, they stopped.

Ying Zheng jumped off Xi's back and followed Xi into the hole.

This cave is another cave, but it is different from the previous one, the air here is dry and hot, and there is an underground river next to it, but the water is quite fast.

"This hole is connected to the eye of fire, so the temperature is a little higher." Yuki explained and continued to walk forward.

Ying Zheng subconsciously wiped his forehead with his hand, and saw that there were no beads of sweat, so he followed Xi inside.

"Twenty-seven seniors." Ying Zheng looked at Twenty-Seven behind him and said, "Presumably you will also change the temperature and color of your skin, right?" ”

"Of course." Twenty-seven's voice was dull, and he couldn't hear any emotion, "This is the housekeeping skill of my candle-eyed clan, otherwise, how can I shuttle between the nine shadows and the nine heavens." ”

For this, Ying Zheng once listened to it

The previous candle Jiuyou said that it was with this ability that they could shuttle between the Nine Shadows and the Nine Heavens.

As for why this is possible to pass through the Nine Shadows, it is unknown.

"Going back and forth between Jiuyou and Jiuxiao, is this journey very special?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"What, you don't know yet?" Twenty-seven seemed a little surprised.

Ying Zheng shook his head: "No one has said anything to Zaixia." ”

"Hehe, this shuttle between the Nine Shadows and the Nine Heavens, naturally it has to pass through the red stream and the blue stream, if it is digging into the ground, it is the ability of the pangolin." Twenty-seven ways.

"Red Stream? Blue Stream? Ying Zheng muttered incomprehensibly.

At this time, Xi stopped and said in a muffled voice, "We've arrived." ”

Ying Zheng also stopped and looked forward.

In the depths of this cave, there was some faint light, which came in from nowhere, and in front of it, the place where the light did not cover it was pitch black, very similar to the black hole in the eye of fire.

"Your Excellency, he's here." Yu said as she looked at the black hole.

Call...... Call......

There seemed to be two more heavy gasps, and two red flames seemed to suddenly ignite in the black hole.

It was blood-colored eyes.

It was still the horns that poked out of the black hole first, and then, Jairus's seemingly hideous face appeared in front of Ying Zheng.

"You're back......" Jianwei's voice was still majestic, making people dare not disobey in the slightest, and the meaning of these words clearly indicated that this should be Yingzheng's home.

"Yingzheng meets Jianwei's seniors." Ying Zheng bowed and saluted.

"You've only arrived today, nearly a month later than expected." Jair's tone was still low, "What's the matter, aren't things going well in the clan?" ”

"The affairs of the country are indeed quite important and cumbersome, so it has been delayed for a few days, and I hope that the seniors will not be surprised." Ying Zheng said apologetically.

In the few months after Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang, he exterminated Chang Yu's rebels, subdued the remnants of Yiqu, replaced Lü Buwei's regime, and pacified Changpingjun's Western Chu army......

None of these things can be done easily.

It can be said that the efficiency of Yingzheng is already very high.

"This royal tomb was built to hide the eye of fire, and you can use the eye of fire so that you can protect your people." Jairus said, "Since it's all for your people, of course it's urgent first. ”

Jairus is quite reasonable.

"Thank you for your understanding." Ying Zheng said, "This time, I have made sufficient preparations for coming here, and there is no more war outside." ”

The reason why Ying Zheng solved a lot of troubles in one go was that he really wanted to calm down and get things done with Wang Ling.

"Good." A snapping voice came.

"May I ask senior, where is Li Si, who has come here with you?" Ying Zheng asked respectfully.

"Don't worry, he's going to pick up something, he should be over soon." Jairus said calmly.

"Pick something?" Ying Zheng wondered.

I was about to ask something more, but at this moment, I heard a call from behind: "Your Majesty! ”

Ying Zheng looked back, and it was Li Si who was reflected in the dim light.

I saw Li Si walking quickly to Yingzheng with a box that seemed to be made of metal: "Your Majesty, you are also here, and Weichen still wants to finish the things here, so I will go back to you immediately." ”

No anti-theft

"You are gone, and you don't say a word to the widow, why is it so urgent?" Ying Zheng looked down at the object in Li Si's hand and asked, "Is it because of this thing?" ”

Li Si nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, there may be a surprise in a while." ”

Ying Zheng was a little confused, but he still nodded.

Li Si walked in front of Jairus with the box, and then held the box in front of him with both hands, and said, "Senior, the things have been brought." ”

Jairus looked down at the box that Listoy was holding, as if she was feeling something.

After a few breaths, Jairus turned to Xi and said, "Go and put Tianmu back, then take out that sword and return it to them." ”

Tianmu?

What's in that box, is Tianmu?

Hearing these two words, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel numb all over his body, and his mind immediately showed the colorful and dazzling colorful divine light of Tianmu.

However, why is Tianmu in Li Si's hands?

I'd never heard him mention it before.

Before he could think about it, he saw that Li Si had already followed Xi into a dark space.

After a while, Ying Zheng came back to his senses and asked puzzledly: "Senior, why did Li Si come back with Tianmu?" ”

"Since it is useless to put it with you, it is safest to return it to the deity." Jairus replied.

At this moment, Li Si and Xi walked out of the shadows.

I saw that Li Si was still holding the metal box in his left hand, and he was holding a golden sword in his right hand.

It was the Xuanyuan Sword that Yingzheng had left here before!

Ying Zheng's mouth opened wide and watched as Li Si placed the two things in his hand in front of him.

"This Xuanyuan Sword is a pledge placed here, if it has been returned today, you can take it back." Jairus said.

Ying Zheng nodded, and was just about to reach out and pick up the Xuanyuan Sword when he heard a voice from the side: "Wait!" ”

Ying Zheng was startled and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

In the dim sight, an old man dressed in white was standing there, with white eyebrows and white beard, like an immortal descending to earth.

Ying Zheng was completely stunned, and muttered unconsciously in his mouth: "Before, senior......?" ”

This old man in white standing not far away is the old man who had made Yingzheng in Qishan and signed a heavenly covenant with Yingzheng before, and he was also the master of Li Si and Jing Ke.

The reunion at this moment, Ying Zheng has imagined it more than once, and even dreamed of it in his dreams.

He hoped that the old man in white would give him more guidance, more teachings, and greater help, and he also wanted to know the answers to the many puzzles that pressed on the bottom of his heart.

And the Heavenly Eye in Li Si's hand just now must have been obtained from the old man in white, no wonder Li Si suddenly disappeared.

The old man in white walked up to Ying Zheng with a smile and said, "King Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Ying Zheng came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Ying Zheng greets his seniors!" ”

"Hahaha......" The old man in white helped Yingzheng up with his hand and laughed, "Sure enough, it's blue, let's agree to take back the royal power within three years, I didn't expect it, it's only been one year, and you got your wish, it seems that this resistance still can't stop you." ”

Ying Zheng suddenly realized.

Since Lü Buwei was found by Jing Ke back then, the events of that year must have been set up by the old man in white in front of him, and he naturally knew Lü Buwei's movements.

From the perspective of the old man in white, Lü Buwei will definitely not rebel, and as for the seizure of royal power, it is just a test for Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng bowed his head and said: "It's all sir, oh, it's all good for Li Si's guidance." ”

"Hehe, no matter what, you can reach our previous agreement." The old man in white said with a smile, "Since it has been achieved, we have to move on to the next step, you ...... You ready? ”

Ying Zheng frowned, and asked in a loud voice: "This next step, but to swallow up the Six Kingdoms?" ”

"There's no hurry, after all, it's still a few years away." The old man in white said, "What we need to do now is to determine the identity of your Heavenly Inheritor, and clarify the responsibilities that your Heavenly Inheritor will bear. ”

Ying Zheng didn't think about it, and said without hesitation: "In Xia Yingzheng, I am willing to inherit the name of the Heavenly Inheritor and inherit all the responsibilities of the Heavenly Inheritor, and I have no regrets!" ”

The tone is resolute and loud.

"Good!" The old man in white put away his smile and said solemnly, "The inheritance of the heavenly inheritance of the past dynasties is the direct inheritance of the two generations of heavenly inheritors, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere. ”

"After going through so much, I believe you also have a lot of speculation about the identity of the old man."

"Today, the old man will explain it to you personally."

"Old man, surname... Ji, name... Hair..."

"It's the previous Heavenly Inheritor!"
