Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Origin of the Martial Tower
When the sun set, Li Zhuang got up, but the presence of the wine still made his head dizzy.
"Are you awake?" Lin Bianji on the side dragged a bowl of decanting soup and handed it to Li Zhuang.
"Thank you." Li Zhuang took a bite and took it all.
It seems that because of the close contact between the two at night, the relationship between them has become closer today.
"Haha, General Li, you can't drink so much." King Zhenxi walked from the tent to Li Zhuang and quipped.
After Li Zhuang woke up, a soldier entered the tent to inform him that the king of Zhenxi did not dare to slack off, and came out to greet him in person, he knew that Li Zhuang and the others were going to leave today.
"The younger generation is ashamed." Facing the joke of King Zhenxi, Li Zhuang also smiled.
"Really a few more days?" The king of Zhenxi said.
"Thank you for the kindness of King Zhenxi, but the time is relatively tight, and there are less than six months to go, and the World Race will start." Li Zhuang explained.
"General Li is young and promising, and he will continue to shine in the International Games in the future." The king of Zhenxi knew that this matter was important, and he did not persuade him more.
Li Zhuang and the others rested for a while, and then under the leadership of the king of Zhenxi, they headed towards the teleportation array, and the last few people were polite to each other, and then said goodbye when the teleportation array was shining.
When the white light in front of Li Zhuang's eyes dissipated, they appeared in the imperial capital.
"Congratulations to General Li." Wu Luoyu learned earlier that Li Zhuang was coming back, so he followed the guards to greet him in advance.
"Long time no see." Li Zhuang chuckled.
"Three days of Shibetsu, you are already a different scene." Wu Luoyu's tone was complicated, who would have thought that the Tianjiao he brought with him in Tianshui City would come to this point in such a short time.
Today's young man, unconsciously, already has a pivotal position in the hearts of the people of the Dawu Dynasty.
"Li Zhuang, look forward to seeing you next time." Lin Fangji smiled and said, now that the war is over, it is time for them to go back to the Martial Academy.
Mo Hong and Liu Tan also sighed lightly, they have witnessed the rise of a generation of Tianjiao, and now the two of them don't want to waste time, when they return to the Martial Academy, they will continue to cultivate directly in the Martial Tower, and they will definitely see them again in the future, it will be a different scenery.
"Okay, safe journey." Li Zhuang nodded, but as if he thought of something, he chuckled again: "Don't forget our agreement, you personally made a bet with me at that time." ”
"It's nature. But now I'm still a student of the Martial Academy, so I have to go back, and when the World Race is over, the slave family will follow you. Lin Fang Ji Jiao laughed, which made Li Zhuang's body tremble, I have to say that the girl still has a unique style under the light of the sun.
Li Fangji's smile broke Mo Hong and Liu Tan's hearts, and they wanted to replace Li Zhuang, but they also knew that they didn't have that kind of strength.
After Li Fangji and the others left under the leadership of the martial arts academy instructor, only Li Zhuang and Wu Luoyu were left, as well as more than a dozen of her guards.
"Originally, I didn't have much confidence in you participating in the International Championships, but now I'm looking forward to it more and more." Wu Luoyu said seriously.
Looking at the woman's expression, Li Zhuang smiled unnaturally: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
"Let's go, follow me back to the palace, the emperor wants to see you." Wu Luoyu said.
Li Zhuang nodded, followed Wu Luoyu into the chariot, and under the escort of a group of guards, he went directly to the palace and came to the palace of the emperor.
This Emperor Hall is the place where the Emperor Taishang cultivates, although it is not as big as the palace of the king, but it is not small, Li Zhuang and Wu Luoyu walked for more than ten minutes, after passing through the large and small courtyards, this is the hall of the Imperial Palace, as soon as he enters the hall, he sees an old man with kind eyebrows, he looks ordinary, and it is difficult to attract attention in the crowd, as if the cultivation is a great achievement, and the light is the same dust.
"Hello grandpa." When Wu Luoyu saw the old man, he bowed slightly and saluted.
This is her grandfather and the father of Emperor Wu, Emperor Taishang.
"Family, don't be so restrained." The Emperor Taishang smiled kindly, which was completely different from his previous killing performance on the battlefield in the Western Realm.
Li Zhuang looked at him.
The Emperor Taishang also looked at Li Zhuang curiously at this time, and when he saw the Emperor's gaze, Li Zhuang hugged his fists and saluted.
"Fellow Daoist, we meet again." Emperor Taishang chuckled and treated Li Zhuang as a peer.
"It's an honor to meet the Emperor." Li Zhuang said politely.
"Come in and do it." The Emperor brought the two into the hall and sat next to a floor-to-ceiling window, where there was a tea table and a few cushions, and outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there was a rockery and a fish pond, as if they were in a paradise, eating the natural fireworks.
"Is this daughter red?" After Li Zhuang sat down, he saw that on the stone tea table, there was a jue full of wine, and under the jue, there was a charcoal fire burning.
A smell of wine mixed with ginger slices overflowed.
"Well, this wine has been brewed for more than ten years, not for a long time, and it won't be long before Li Daoyou tastes it?" The Emperor asked the guards to take a statue for Li Zhuang and Wu Luoyu and poured the wine full.
Li Zhuang took a sip lightly and exclaimed: "Sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, astringent, fresh." It's not so much about drinking, it's about tasting the flavors of life. ”
"That's what my daughter red tastes like." The Emperor said with a smile.
Looking at the two of them in the clouds, Wu Luoyu couldn't interject, so he drank and ate.
"Was the Nawu Pagoda founded by the Emperor Taishang?" After three rounds of drinking, Li Zhuang seemed to say unintentionally.
The Emperor Taishang took a sip of wine and said, "I didn't create it, I just have the right to take custody." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhuang looked a little sober, and said, "What do you say?" ”
Emperor Taishang seemed to be recalling the past, "Thousands of years ago, I met a strong man, I don't know how strong he is, I compare with him, like fireflies and Haoyue, this martial tower was created by him, and it is said that it is an opportunity for us to enter the martial country, so that future generations can enter and cultivate, leaving the strongest phantom, so as to hone future generations." ”
"This Martial Pagoda has indeed created a lot of strong people for us, but why did we stay, that person didn't say that he disappeared after creating the Martial Pagoda."
Li Zhuang listened carefully, and said, "Have you also gone up to the seventh floor?" ”
"That's nature, otherwise how could there be a legacy I left behind." The Emperor replied.
"Is there anything else?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Something? There is nothing on it, I went up to see it back then, there was only a high platform, and then I left a inheritance power on the seventh layer in order to make future generations more energetic, and waited for the capable to climb the tower to take it, but I am ashamed that in the past two thousand years, no one else has succeeded except for the Taoist friend you who climbed the tower. The Emperor shook his head and said.
Li Zhuang's expression condensed slightly, even the Emperor Taishang didn't know the Heavenly Star Compass?
Emperor Taishang's eyes flickered, and then he raised his glass and drank, as if he didn't see Li Zhuang's strange appearance.
Li Zhuang suppressed his expression and said with a smile: "The Emperor Taishang is peerless, and the phantom left behind is naturally not something that ordinary people can defeat, so this is also normal, and I am just a fluke." ”
The cause and effect of the Tianluo astrolabe is huge, and the emperor doesn't know about it, so Li Zhuang naturally won't take the initiative to say it.
"Strength is strength, where is luck." The Emperor sighed.
They talked from the afternoon to the evening, and then dispersed until late at night.
And Li Zhuang also went out of the Taihuang Palace with Wu Luoyu, but there was no drunkenness on his face, but a preoccupied look, the creator of the Wu Tower, and the origin of the Heavenly Star Compass are still a mystery.
