Chapter Forty-Eight: My Name Is Empty Space
The extensive search of the Iron Blood Battalion did not end until three days later.
However, the news that the Xie family's team was attacked, the eldest prince Xie Qingfeng fell, and the three spirit venerables, dozens of great spirit masters and spirit master powerhouses were killed in battle, but once again caused a sensation in the entire Tianluo Kingdom.
Luo Fan, the second prince stationed in Nankou Town, took advantage of this incident to ask the kingdom to send an additional 100,000 troops to investigate the matter thoroughly with the Iron Blood Battalion!
And the Xie clan, after remaining silent for a few days, announced to the outside world that they called on the 100,000 clansmen in the Tianluo Kingdom to take action, investigate the murderer, and fight for the honor of the family!
These days, Xie Qingyang has already returned to the clan in disguise. And Xie Chen, with the help of Jian Jiu, crossed the border in a grand manner and entered the territory of Wuning Kingdom in the south.
After learning about Xie Tuo's recent situation, Xie Chen was obviously in a good mood. As for the second prince Luo Fan, Xie Chen believes that after experiencing this incident, neither Xie Tuo nor Xie Qingyang will easily give up with him. Since Xie Tuo wants to break out of the world, then this Luo Fan will be left to Xie Tuo as a stepping stone.
The reason why the Douling Continent is divided into north and south is not only because of the different directions of the countries. There is a more important reason, that is, in the center of the entire Douling Continent, there is a huge mountain range like a moat, called the Angry Dragon Mountain Range.
The entire Angry Dragon Mountain Range was like a giant dragon that straddled the heavens and the earth, dividing the entire Douling Continent into two.
The northern part of the mountain range is a typical northern climate, with four distinct seasons, with obvious alternating spring, summer, autumn and winter. In the south, however, it is relatively hot, especially in summer.
Now the northern countries are freezing and snowing heavily. As soon as he passed the Nulong Mountain Range, Xie Chen felt as cool as autumn. It is said that further south, there are almost no four seasons, and the sun shines all year round, like a hot summer.
Following Jian Jiu's guidance, Xie Chen went all the way south. Along the way, he also had a new understanding of the six southern countries.
In the entire southern part of the Douling Continent, there are six kingdoms.
It is different from the Northern Tianluo Kingdom, which dominates the entire Northern Seven Kingdoms. Among the six southern countries, there is no overlord like the Tianluo Kingdom. The six countries of the South are more like a union of countries.
In the alliance, the six countries are equal in status and take turns to hold the power of the alliance. But this kind of power is only in name. The real decision-making power is in the Senate of the Six Nations, in which the Six Nations participate.
With the Six-Nation Alliance and the existence of the Senate of the Six Nations, the six southern countries advanced and retreated together and became one. So that the overlord Tianluo Kingdom, which has always been in the north, does not dare to cross the thunder pond half a step without authorization!
It is precisely because of this kind of relatively harmonious relations between countries that the economy of the entire South is very developed, and exchanges between countries have increased.
It was in this environment that the Spirit Master Academy came into being. Families of all countries have sent their own family children to the spiritual master academy, and according to the special surnames of the natal spirits, they are systematically cultivated.
Moreover, this kind of spirit master academy also gives the children of ordinary people a chance to show their talents. In the Spirit Master Academy, there is a special place for the awakening of the natal spirit, and the children of ordinary people can come here to test the awakening for free.
Once the awakening is successful, you can join the Spirit Master Academy, and have the opportunity to go further and be recruited by various kingdoms and forces.
In the northern countries, each family selects the awakened in the area under their control, and helps them awaken through the power of the family, and the awakened must also be loyal to this family.
In this regard, it is clear that the six southern countries are more humanized than the northern ones, and it is easier to find and recruit talent.
In the entire territory of the six southern countries, there are no less than 100 such large and small spiritual master academies. And the largest of them is the Heavenly Blade Academy, which was jointly established by the six southern countries and is known as having a history of nearly 1,000 years!
For hundreds of years, the Heavenly Blade Academy has cultivated countless spirit masters for various countries and major families. There are also many gifted spirit masters who have become the guardians of the major families.
However, under the fame, the Heavenly Blade Academy has no restrictions on recruiting students from the outside world. As long as you can pass the entrance test of the academy, you can directly join the Heavenly Blade Academy.
In general, compared to the northern countries, the borders were strict, and the families of the countries were constantly fighting each other. The southern countries are as peaceful and warm as the weather here.
Along the way, Xie Chen was not in a hurry, and everywhere he went, in addition to cultivating, he would wander around the streets, experience the customs, or taste the local snacks. Like a leisurely traveler.
On the New Year's Eve of this year, Xie Chen spent it in Wuning City, the capital of Wuning. Although he was only alone, Xie Chen was the first time he had seen such a New Year's scene in his two lives combined.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in Wuning City gathered on the street, wearing gorgeous clothes, full of happy smiles, singing and dancing, and partying all night! Even Xie Chen couldn't help but blend into this sea of joy, forgetting all worries and troubles, and indulging in joyful songs.
At this moment, there were no nobles and commoners, no soldiers and officers, not even kings and commoners. Everyone, everything, is so peaceful and natural, laughing and laughing, like a dream.
And it was in this peaceful and fanatical atmosphere that Xie Chen got acquainted with a young man, his name was very strange, there were only two identical words in his name, empty.
Kongkong's age is similar to Xie Chen's, he is not tall, but his small eyes are bright. What is especially striking is that this guy does not even have half a hair on his head. In his own words, this is called "extremely smart".
Xie Chen's acquaintance with Kongkong is also quite interesting, in the New Year's carnival of Wuningguo, there is an activity called "Picking Stars and Catching the Moon".
The content is very simple, there is a special person on the city wall, throwing a ball into the crowd below the city. And all the people under the city are not allowed to use half of their spiritual power, and those who grab the ball can get a glass of wine treasured by the king of Wuning!
Although the rewards are not rich, the theme of Chinese New Year's Eve is carnival, and everyone is full of interest, and Xie Chen is also involved.
One by one, the balls were thrown from the city walls, and the people below had already fallen into a carnival madness. In the absence of the use of spiritual power, everyone has equal opportunities. Xie Chen, who was relatively thin in stature, drifted with the tide one after another, twisting and turning.
Suddenly, there was a stirring in the crowd. But someone shouted excitedly and found a leather ball! Xie Chen spent a lot of money, plus the strength to eat milk and extract teeth, and finally squeezed into the crowd.
But he was pleasantly surprised to find that the ball was flickering in front of him! Immediately he couldn't help but say that he picked up the ball and ran, and the surrounding people screamed and screamed, and they came to grab it.
After paying the price of a brand-new robe torn into a vest, Xie Chen finally managed to break out of the crowd, holding the ball between his legs, and laughing in the sky.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the ball caught under his armpit suddenly spoke!
"Fuck it! Fuck me out! How many times have I said it, Lao Tzu's head is not a ball!"
"The ball can still talk?!" Xie Chen rubbed his cheeks, which were numb from laughing, and looked at the "ball" under his armpit in a daze.
"Hey, how is this ball different from usual?" Xie Chen muttered quietly.
"Nonsense! It's a ghost! You can see it clearly!" On the "ball", two eye-like things stared at Xie Chen viciously.
It was only then that Xie Chen discovered that this "leather ball" actually had two eyes, a nose, and a ...... Why do you still have a writhing ass behind you?!
Xie Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, and said very honestly: "That...... I thought you were the ball. Anyway, I did grab the ball, but what about my ball?"
"Who the knows where your balls are?! Let go of Lao Tzu! I, I'm almost out of breath!" Under the armpits, the little bald head crossed his eyebrows and looked angrily. I had already scolded in my heart, "If it weren't for today's New Year, Lao Tzu would have beaten you with one punch and hung it on the flagpole at the head ......of the city!"
"Oh, oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Xie Chen remembered that he had been holding the other party all the time, and hurriedly put his arm and let go of the little bald head.
"Hurry up and let me ...... Eh!" "Poof!", Xie Chen let go too suddenly, the little bald head didn't pay attention, he couldn't stop it directly, and he fell to the ground with his five bodies on the ground!
"Look! There's a ball here!
In the surrounding crowd, someone suddenly shouted excitedly! Suddenly, people rushed straight to the little bald head lying on the ground.
"I'm rubbing! Lao Tzu is not a ball!" the little bald head was so frightened that he got up.
Xie Chen also felt that he was really sorry for the little bald head just now, and hurriedly flashed over to help solve the siege.
Under the scratching and tearing of countless hands, Xie Chen and the little bald head fled in tattered clothes.
When they reached a secluded and uninhabited place, the two teenagers sat down by the wall, looked at each other, and laughed loudly.
"Hey, boy, are you drinking?" the bald boy took out a wine jug from his tattered clothes and shook it at Xie Chen.
"Wine, good!" Xie Chen smiled, reached out to take the wine jug, raised his head and poured it violently.
In his previous life, Xie Chen was an out-and-out hero in wine. At the mouth of the deep alley, two teenagers, you take a sip and I take a sip, and after a while, I will drink a full pot of water.
"Happy!" the bald boy seemed to be unsatisfied, and praised it.
"Haha, it's really happy!" Xie Chenba smacked his lips and suddenly smiled: "It's not fun, why don't I invite you to the restaurant, and let's have another drink?"
"Okay!" The bald boy's eyes lit up and he jumped up, "Okay, you invite me!"
"Of course!" Xie Chen also turned over and stood up, arrogant.
"Amitabha, I'll just say I'm lucky today!" The bald young man smiled, hooked Xie Chen's shoulder, and said with a sneer: "Brother is really refreshing, my name is Kongkong, you are a friend, I have made up my mind!"
