The sky is clear.

The snow color is transformed into the universal color of the pavilions, adding a bit of coldness to the majestic Miyagi.

At the end of the snow-covered floating hall, the sunrise is covered with golden light.

Stopping on the uninhabited palace road, Grace Rose's gaze swept towards the Three Autumn Palace, two hundred meters away.

A guard on duty outside the hall walked quickly and saluted Grace Rose: "Your Excellency, Her Royal Highness the Queen went to Lingyin Mountain early, and she is not in the palace at this moment. After finishing speaking, he hurried back to his post.

Grey Rose looked up at the clear sky, muttered for a long time, and suddenly stared back at Huo Xu: "I forgot to ask you, I cultivated in the Evil Cold Valley yesterday, and I rose a little more, right?" ”

"No, it's three steps." Huo Xu said truthfully.

When he returned to the Shui Manor yesterday, he thought that he would probably be able to get another chance to break through after completing his cultivation, but his wish was disappointed.

"Three stages in a row? Oh my, pervert! ”

Although she was a little surprised, after hearing this, Grace Rose only frowned slightly, but she was not shocked to the point of being stunned.

Huo Xu shrugged helplessly, and when the woman in the official robe in front of him expressed her surprise, she didn't seem to be able to pull out any other words except for saying "perverted", and he was speechless.

Grey Rose looked leisurely into the distance again and whispered, "Starting tomorrow, I'm going to retreat, and you'd better stay in the Water Manor until I get out." ”

Retreat again?!

Huo Xu leaned in front of the woman in the official robe, looked at the pretty face, held his cheeks and looked left and right, and wanted to return the "pervert" on the spot.

"Be honest!" Grace Rose's face sank, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes, "I'm going to the palace office, it's not convenient to take you with me, you go to the door first and wait, someone inside is summoned, when the time comes, you can enter by yourself, you don't have to wait for me."

People in the palace, the strong are not allowed to fly, the Yuanshi, the Yuan Shao are not allowed to fly, this is the rule of the palace, you have to remember, as long as you don't die, no one will find you trouble.

It's best to head straight north from the trail right next to the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, where there are fewer people. ”

"Your Excellency Si Zheng, Balidiye, if you don't fly, how can I get to the Lingmen?" Huo Xu complained.

"Phew!" Gray Rose raised her eyebrows and crossed her hands on her hips, "Don't tell me that you have good legs and feet, but you can't walk!" ”

"Got it!" Huo Xu hurriedly slipped away.

The huge Miyagi couldn't suppress his flying mind at all, except for playing some naughty tricks in front of the first generation of Sizheng, who was so angry that she raised her eyebrows, at other times, he would pretend to be careless, quietly observe this world that is rarely visited by outsiders, and always be able to make a subtle explanation at the slightest sign.

However, at this moment, the prominent figures are all in Lingyin Mountain, and there is no owner in the palace, so he doesn't have to bother to work hard, he can relax his mood, and this trip is a leisurely journey.

On the day of the make-up test, he passed through this place, so Huo Xu knew the way, and he traveled more than 200 meters to the east and turned into the path that was close to the courtyard wall of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion.

It's a veritable trail with high walls on one side and trees on the other, and the road is narrow enough for two people to walk side by side.

The ground was cleaned, except for the trees by the roadside, where there was still a little snow on them.

Huo Xu raised his eyes to the north, and the road was straight, and he could see the outline of the palace gate at the end of the path.

There are obstacles on the road······ No, not an object, but a person, and the man waved his hand from afar, smiling brightly.

Seeing the face that was not unfamiliar, Huo Xu touched his head in surprise:, such a coincidence?

He trotted all the way, and the two ran in both directions, and soon converged in one place.

"Fire Boy!"

"Brother Shangguan!"

After saying hello and looking Huo Xu up and down a few times, Shangguan Qingyun asked, "Huo Gongzi, where are you going?" ”

"Called to stand outside the door." Huo Xu smiled lightly.

"Lingmen? That place is a forbidden place within a forbidden place! Yang Yang's folder in his hand, Shangguan Qingyun said with envy:

"Right now, you are the popular king among the young people in the capital, and you will also become the guest of His Majesty the Emperor, with a bright future, unlike me, a passerby, only when you listen to errands and get official documents, you can be allowed to enter the palace forbidden land."

"Brother Shangguan is too humble." Pulling Shangguan Qingyun by the hand, the two went north side by side, Huo Xu smiled:

"I don't know which mountain I will be a crane in the future, and you, first become a clerk, then a scribe, twenty years later, you will definitely be a supreme minister!"

"Scribe? Huo Gongzi really has the ability to predict the future! Shangguan Qingyun couldn't suppress his excitement, and said in a low voice: "It is very likely that I will enter the Imperial Administration Academy for three years, and after graduation, I will be an authentic scribe!" ”

Huo Xu's eyes condensed slightly.

His intuition told him that Shangguan Qingyun's admission to the Imperial Administration Academy was by no means his own choice, but out of the careful operation of others.

That place was the cradle of cultivating the minister's civil servants and county officials from all walks of life, and ordinary clerks did not even have the opportunity to enter the hospital to enjoy the scenery without the recommendation of political dignitaries.

The person behind the operation of this matter may have multiple considerations, one of which is to make up for the earlier omission and dilute his identity information.

Because the surname "Shangguan" is too sensitive, Shangguan Qingyun was transferred to the Prime Minister's Mansion on an errand, and over time, his birth was easy to arouse the suspicion of those who had a heart.

Studying at the Imperial School of Administration, far away in a county, he could quickly disappear from the noses of a group of prominent people, and by the time he returned from graduation, he might have changed his name.

"Congratulations, Brother Shangguan!" After thinking for a moment, Huo Xu sincerely congratulated.

Hearing this, Shangguan Qingyun couldn't stop laughing, obviously quite outward about the prospect of getting on the fast track to politics.

Like old friends, the two chatted about some daily trivial matters along the way, and unconsciously arrived at the Nanbi Gate, which connects Miyagi and the Royal Martial Arts Mansion.

This is a forbidden place, unattended, and no idler dares to approach, a wide white jade gate is embedded between the high iron walls, forming a completely closed so-called passage.

Shangguan Qingyun only needs to take out the special jade talisman and fit it with the geometric grooves on the jade door, and the jade gate will open itself, and he will enter a dim corridor that is monitored by precision instruments in real time through the jade gate, which makes people feel very depressed, and after walking out of three hundred meters, he can open another access control, and then take a big breath of fresh air in the courtyard of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion.

However, he seemed to be very nostalgic for the scenery on the trail at the moment, took out the jade talisman and shook it, and then put it away, and said with feeling:

"Huo Gongzi, for some reason, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a friend I could trust in this life, and even worthy of entrusting with my life.

It's a strange feeling, I don't know much about you, but I can always read the sense of security in your eyes.

Perhaps, all of this stems from the fact that I have long recognized that you are a rare cultivation wizard, and one day, you will be so powerful that you will make all beings bow down.

In the future, you will be powerful, and you will be able to easily wipe out those dark forces with a single move, and help many people, including me, sweep away the lingering haze in their hearts for a long time.

Oh, Huo Gongzi, I'm sorry, you'll eventually become a peerless powerhouse, and I'm just a layman, I'm climbing high, don't mind. ”

Huo Xu shook his head, patted Shangguan Qingyun on the shoulder and said, "What are you talking about, Brother Shangguan?" You and I are like old at first sight, this is fate, in the future, you will be in politics, I will practice, one article and one martial arts, know each other in the temple, do not forget in the rivers and lakes, and can leave a good story for the world. ”

Feeling the melancholy in Shangguan Qingyun's words, he asked quietly, "Is Brother Tai an insecure person?" ”

Opening his mouth, Shangguan Qingyun wanted to speak and stopped, staring on the road, silent for a long time.

Looking at the scribes of tomorrow around him, Huo Xu found that Shangguan Qingyun had a temperament as warm as jade between his eyebrows and eyes, although he was still immature at the moment, but in time, he was definitely expected to become a generation of celebrities who moved the world!

Shangguan Qingyun hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Huo Gongzi, I won't tell you, I am an ominous person, a tragedy more than sixty years ago made my father a widow; Twenty years ago, a catastrophe left me behind.

If I get married in the future, I am afraid that my offspring will also become posthumous children, everything is fate, and I dare not imagine what will happen to me after I marry a wife and start a family.

Alas, to die alone, may be my wisest choice! ”

There was a slight shock in his heart, thinking that a man who was only twenty years old could sigh that he could see through the red dust, Huo Xu couldn't help but be moved.

Yesterday when he returned to the Shui Manor from the Evil Cold Valley, he asked Feng Qiu, who was quite knowledgeable, about the past of Shangguan Zong, and Feng Qiu knew everything, revealing many little-known stories about Shangguan Zong and Liu Zong.

Today, Shangguan Qingyun said a few words, which made the information that Huo Xu had stored in his mind colorful.

Shangguan Zong of Xilin County and Liu Zong of Xihai County were once two powerful clans that dominated the entire Xihe Continent, and the two were not prosperous, and the total population of the whole sect was less than a thousand, but the two sects produced many talents, with few cultivators and many top-notch ones.

More than 60 years ago, Shangguanzong and Liuzong each had two Yuan Heng and nearly 100 Yuan Zai, and their overall strength was comparable.

However, since thousands of years ago, the two cases have been piled up due to various suspicions, accumulating small into large, the two sides have no blood and deep hatred, but they look at each other and hate each other, old and dead do not get along, as long as the strong people on both sides meet, no matter what the occasion, they will tear apart with each other, just do it.

The two sects maintained a pattern of rivalry for a long time, until a legendary encounter came, and this pattern was deconstructed.

In the black miasma forest that deterred countless strong people, Shangguan Wei, the young sect master of Shangguan Sect, and Liu Rusi, the eldest granddaughter of the sect master of Liu Zong, met unexpectedly.

When the news came out, Shangguan Zong and Liu Zong fried at the same time.

Shangguan Sect and Liu Sect, the two sworn enemies in the cultivation world, have been resentful for thousands of years, but now they are going to form a family of children and daughters, and this is okay!

As a result, the strong people on both sides all set out to meet on the Wuliang Mountain adjacent to the boundary of the two parcels, and they were sorted by rank, and those with similar strength grabbed and slapped the table in pairs, quarreled and tore apart.

Nearly 500 strong people drank all the fine wines of Wantan, and they quarreled for three days and three nights, until the sky was dark.

The strange thing is that after the quarrel was exhausted, in the atmosphere where you look at me and I look at you want to vomit, Shangguan Zong and Liu Zong unexpectedly finalized the marriage date of Shangguan Wei and Liu Rusi.
