Shao Xi pondered how to deal with the next two levels as he walked along the firelight.

As he walked, he noticed that there were more and more rocks on the ground around him, and gradually he seemed to have walked into a rocky beach.

This rocky beach is different from the rocky beach where he was looking for the Tianyan Stone, when he went to the rocky beach in the Gobi on the grassland, the stones there had already been severely weathered because they had been exposed to the ground for many years, and most of them had turned into gravel.

This is a very different place, perhaps because it has been underground for many years, and the rocks here are very large, and the further you go, the bigger the stones become.

The stones are covered with moss, and you can even hear a "hissing" sound coming from the cracks in the stones.

Although Shao Xi didn't know if it was a snake or not, something must have been moving under the stones, and he could hear the "rustle" of something crawling among the weeds in the cracks of the stones.

As Shao Xi continued to move forward, the surrounding stones gradually formed a stone forest more than one person high, and when he walked to the place where the fire was most concentrated and brightest, the height of this stone forest was close to more than zhang.

As Shao Xi walked, he looked at the strange rocks of different shapes around him, until a huge stone pillar appeared in front of him, and there were three big characters carved by an axe and a chisel on the stone pillar - Sansheng Stone.

At this time, Shao Xi already knew in his heart that his next opponent must be Shi Yong, the "Sansheng Shijun".

It seems that these four levels are indeed arranged in order, first the Lechuan River, then the Nai He Bridge, then the Sansheng Stone, and finally the other side of the flower.

Shao Xi glanced around again, but he didn't see any figures, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, since it was the third level, where did this guard go?

However, he didn't bother much, just came to the stone pillar with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the three big characters on the stone pillar.

These three characters are really not carved, they look very rough carved, but Shao Xi can see at a glance that these three big characters are made in one go, and there is no pause in between.

It is not so much that these three words were carved out, but that someone wrote them directly on the stone.

On such a large stone pillar, three big characters are written in one stroke, and these three words are like knives and axes and chisels deep into the stone, which shows that the internal strength of the person who writes is very deep.

It must be to concentrate on a certain weapon, and after jumping up, these three words will be formed in one breath with the falling momentum in the air, and they will be written in one stroke.

It is not only strong and strong, but also smooth, which shows that the person who writes can not only make the vitality move at will, but also move with ease.

Shao Xi had always thought that this "Sansheng Shijun" should be a sturdy and powerful man, but judging from the three words in front of him, he has a sense of freedom and elegance, and he has the style of a gentleman.

Now that I think about it, his nickname of "Sansheng Shijun" is quite different from my imagination, it seems that I take it for granted, and I subjectively determine what kind of person the other party is from this Shi Yong's name alone.

It seems that seeing is believing, and only when you see it can you know whether your original guess was right or wrong.

For a while, Shao Xi actually had a little interest in Shi Yong, if a person with a rough appearance also had such exquisite brushwork, it would really surprise Shao Xi.

So Shao Xi turned around, arched his hand to the stone forest in front of him, and said loudly: "I came down to visit the 'Impermanent Judge', and I knew that I had to go through the four levels before seeing him, and the first two levels were lucky to pass in the next, and Lao 'Sansheng Shijun' appeared to teach." ”

"Being able to pass the first two levels so easily shows that Childe is skilled, and I am also very interested in seeing Childe's skills, no one has come to break through for a long time, it's really boring!"

As he spoke, a figure flashed from behind a boulder not far in front of Shao Xi.

Shao Xi followed the prestige and was stunned for a moment.

I saw that the person in front of him was very different from his imagination, far from it, and it was not a tall and strong, black-faced and bearded man.

Instead, he was dressed in a pale green robe, wearing cloth shoes on his feet, his face was like a jade, his sword eyebrows were starry, and his long black hair was draped behind him, and he was not tied into a bun.

looks handsome, but does not lose a sense of ease, both gentlemanly and prodigal, it can be seen that he is also a wanton person.

Holding a short gun in his hand, it looks like holding a brush with a long rod under the background of his temperament.

Another important reason why it feels like a brush is that the barrel of the gun is shiny with silver, while the head of the gun is jet black and shiny, and it really looks like a brush dipped in ink.

This person walked not far from Shao Xi and stood still, held a short gun and hugged his fist at Shao Xi and said: "The next is Shi Yong, the 'Sansheng Shijun' mentioned by the son, and he is polite here!" According to the rules of my Ghost Emperor's Mansion, the identity of the son is secret, and there is no need to introduce himself. ”

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Shao Xi also arched his hand and said: "Brother Shi is really extraordinary, and he returned the courtesy!" I came here this time to talk to the 'Impermanent Judge', I was lucky enough to pass two levels before, and now I don't know what the rules are when I come to Brother Shi? Please also ask Brother Shi for advice. ”

Shi Yong laughed, pointed to where Shao Xi was, and said loudly: "There are no rules, the way to pass this level is very simple, the place where the son stands is a circle paved with stone slabs, you and I fight in the circle, whoever comes out of the circle will lose."

"If Childe can force out of this circle, it will be considered to be passed, if Childe is forced out of the circle, then you must ask Childe to return the same way, and you can't come again within half a year, and after the expiration of half a year, if Childe doesn't give up, you can try again."

When Shao Xi heard it, he hadn't heard of this rule when he broke through the first two levels!

If you fail to pass through the level, you can't come back within half a year? How does it feel the same as the entrance exam? If you haven't taken the test this time, you have to go back and repeat it, and if you think you can do it, you can take the test again?

But if you think about it, you can understand that if you encounter that kind of unending fierce seed, and run over every day to challenge the level, wouldn't these few people who guard the pass be annoyed to death?

At this time, Shao Xi also understood why he had to blindfold himself when he came before, firstly, he did not want to be known about the location of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, and secondly, it should be to avoid the appearance of people who came to break through the level repeatedly in a short period of time.

If you want to do business with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, you have to go through the level to verify your qualifications, and if you fail to do business, it will prove that the person who came here is not qualified to negotiate business with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion.

Then the Ghost Emperor Mansion will naturally not give this kind of person more opportunities to challenge, and the limit of half a year is already very reasonable.

This should also be done to prevent the brand in the hand of the person holding the life-seeking card from becoming useless, even if he is still unable to come to the level after half a year, as long as he has the ability to invite the master, he can still use the same card to challenge.

There are very few people in the rivers and lakes who can get the life-calling card, and naturally there is no absurd sight of people who come to challenge in long queues.

In this way, the life-seeking cards scattered by the Ghost Emperor's Mansion will not become dead cards because some people are unable to challenge, nor will they reduce the gold content of this brand because anyone can challenge it.

At this time, Shao Xi also understood that he had a rare opportunity to come this time, if he really didn't pass these four levels, he could only wait until half a year later.

But a lot of things will happen in half a year, and if this clue waits for another half a year, I'm afraid it won't be very useful.

What's more important is that he has the Ruan family's things back then, and if he fails to challenge, he will prove that he is not qualified to negotiate terms with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion.

In order to complete the previous task, the Ghost Emperor Mansion will definitely attack itself and snatch the copper pill.

In the past six months, I'm afraid that I will be chased and killed everywhere by the Ghost Emperor's Mansion?

At the beginning, Ruan Haoyang hid outside for so many years in order to avoid the pursuit of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, and in the end he couldn't escape their entanglement.

And Shao Xi is in Kyoto, his business is everywhere, and it is even more impossible to avoid the Ghost Emperor's Mansion.

Even if you have an official position and have the right to transfer soldiers and horses in Kyoto, but the Ghost Emperor's Mansion is an assassination organization, if you really want to trouble you, even if you live in the barracks, I am afraid that it will be useless.

Shao Xi wasn't afraid of them, but he was annoyed to death by such a group of people all day long!

Eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet have to have one ear pricked up and one eye open, how can you live that day?

But if you hand over the copper pill like this, it is definitely not Shao Xi's character, Shao Xi never does a loss-making transaction, and I can only give you the benefits, but if you want to snatch it from me, it will definitely not work.

This point was originally in Wulong Mountain, and Liu Duo, the boss of the five ghosts in Tongshan, had seen it with his own eyes.

Shao Xi would rather eat the Nine Dragons Pillar whole like a carrot and burn himself half to death, even at the expense of throwing himself into the Five Dragons Pond and drowning himself, rather than letting the other party get what he didn't want to give.

With his kind of character, how could he give away the chips in his hand that could negotiate terms with others for no reason?

If you want to avoid these troubles, there is only one way at the moment, that is, you can successfully pass these four levels, directly face the "Impermanent Judge" Shen Buchang, carry out your plan, and find out the person behind him through the clue of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion.

So this matter must be completed today, Shao Xi doesn't want to face the endless trouble after failing to break through, and now he has a headache to think about.

Thinking of this, Shao Xi secretly decided in his heart that he would not hesitate to reveal his true martial arts realm when necessary, and also successfully pass the last two levels.

Even if Shen Buyi knew that he was a "Qi Transformation Realm", it would be better than fighting with them meaninglessly outside in the future.

It's just that his martial arts path can't be touched by the other party, and no matter how he makes up nonsense to explain the sword technique, the other party can't find out.

After all, Tian Canghai and Gu Liuyun have both passed away, and the inheritance of this set of swordsmanship has now become a mystery in the rivers and lakes, with his ability to make up stories and the Liuyun Sword on his waist, he can completely fool everyone over.

But if he revealed the martial arts taught by the Thousand Feather Gate of Lingyu Mountain and the Taichang Sect of Wulong Mountain, it would be very likely to reveal his true identity back then.

That would be more than worth the loss.

So now all he can rely on in his hands is this set of swordsmanship and the few secret weapons of the Tang Sect on his body.

The crossbow arrow on his back Shao Xi had been reloaded behind his back, and there were still sleeve swords, Hades Ti, insinuations, and the remaining Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flower in his hand.

Shao Xi believes that with these, he is fully capable of breaking through to the end and facing Shen Buchang.

So Shao Xi confidently bowed his hand to Shi Yong and said, "Then please ask Brother Shi to teach me more." ”

Shi Yong smiled indifferently and replied, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

After saying that, he jumped into the circle, and the two stood opposite each other in the circle under the stone pillar.

A battle that Shao Xi must not lose is about to begin.
