Chapter 189: Returning from the Dead (2-in-1)
Zhou Guo.
The majestic Imperial City sits in the center of the country.
The whole is more than 100 zhang high, suspended by a formation, and connected by a ladder stone stack, but there is no trail leading to the ground below, like a lonely city in the middle of the day.
The clouds are steaming on all sides, there are cranes flying in the sky, strange beasts galloping, and the people who come and go to the palace are all good-looking, more or less with cultivation, and their bearing is not bad, as if they are immortal servants in the sky.
Because Ji Chengtian heard that there was a hanging city in Fuli Xianzhou, he thought that this Xuanshen Dao Gate was the head of the sect in the world, and the Great Zhou under his rule was also the head of all the countries in the world, so he should not lose the faΓ§ade.
He ordered people to spend decades to build this "Imperial City".
In the main hall of the palace, there were only three cultivators below who came to worship him, and the atmosphere was solemn, and they bowed their heads and trembled slightly, and they didn't dare to make a sound at all.
These three people are all middle and third-grade cultivators, some are from the Three Tribulation Sect, some are from Lingtai Mountain, and one has been loyal to the royal family of the Liang State.
Without exception, they were all relevant personnel who participated in the original battle to destroy the beam.
The light gauze curtains hung down, blocking the sight of the kneeling worshippers to spy on the Son of Heaven, and it was even more unpredictable to his mind.
Ji Chengtian is sitting on the top and closing his eyes to recuperate, meditating and spitting.
He didn't sit on a dragon chair under him, but only built a square platform and simply arranged a futon.
And he himself does not wear a dragon robe, a simple gray robe, with a thin and slender middle-aged face.
It turned out to be a group of fairy wind bones.
It's not like an emperor, but like a cultivator.
Ji Chengtian was holding a piece of communication jade slip in his hand, which was flickering with a faint light.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, swept over the three kneeling people below, and said lightly:
"Incompetent, killed."
However, in an instant, a maid immediately made a move, and the ribbon in her hand turned out to be a wonderful spiritual treasure, which "clicked" off the necks of the three people.
These maids are all fairy, but their shots are like thunder, and they become life-seeking judges in an instant.
But this is just the beginning.
Since the decision to wage war against the Liang State in the first place, all the chess pieces related to it and useless will be purged within an hour.
These people, Ji Chengtian originally kept, also to track down Chen Kuang's whereabouts.
On the same day, the "Martial Saint" made a move, and Ji Chengtian was naturally inconvenient to stop it, and in his opinion, most of the elixir of unknown origin was on Chu Wenruo's mother and daughter, a little pawn, and if he killed it, he would kill it.
His back hand is on the "Immortal Lock", as long as Liang Guo is still there, he can naturally continue to do it.
However, when the matter calmed down for a few days, when the people of the Three Tribulations Sect reported to him, they found that all the dragon veins of the Liang Kingdom had been closed for unknown reasons, and they could no longer extract luck.
At this time, he realized that he had been put on a position by Na Su Yu.
The plank road is repaired in the light, and the warehouse is in the dark.
The "National Fortune" has been transferred by Su Yu!
But who will take away the "national fortune"?
However, even if they guessed what, they had already crossed the border and entered the Yang Kingdom...... Even if it is Ji Chengtian, he needs to figure it slowly.
Fortunately, Chen Kuang's luck was bad.
Soon after entering the Yang Kingdom, he was involved in the rebellion of King Jingnan, and the movement was so great that even the saint made a move, and finally turned against the emperor.
Ji Chengtian's spies in Yangguo immediately got the news.
At the same time, he immediately understood that Chen Kuang, the little pawn he thought was the one who really took the elixir and the fortune of the country!
Ji Chengtian was not annoyed, but happy.
Any chess piece, as long as it is placed on the bright side, then it can be plotted.
And this back and forth for a month also made Ji Chengtian see clearly how many incompetent people there were under his hands.
From today onwards, the only people who know about the plans related to the "Eternal Life Lock" will be the few people that Ji Chengtian trusts the most.
Among them, of course, also includes his children.
Ji Chengtian sighed and muttered:
Su Yu ...... I thought it was just a soft-boned dog, but I didn't expect it to grow fangs early and plan such a move. β
His eyes turned cold, and he raised his head, as if he wanted to look at the endless sky:
"But unfortunately, this move is not a lonely move."
"Since it's not, there's a weakness."
Ji Chengtian waved his hand, summoned his own dead soldiers, and said with a gentle smile:
"It just so happens that Yanwei is also in Jishao County, and he has some friendship with Chen Kuang, so he must know how many people there are in Chen Kuang's family, so he told him to let him be in charge of this matter."
The dead man bowed his head: "Yes." β
Then it vanished.
The rest of the people in the hall were silent, and their hearts were cold.
The second prince and Chen Kuang knew each other and vaguely had a good relationship, and Ji Chengtian already knew about it.
Zhou Yanwei thought that he was careful enough to raise the dead privately, but in fact, it was just Ji Chengtian turning a blind eye.
In the past, Ji Chengtian was playing when he was young, and everything was under control, so he didn't care.
But now...... The eldest prince died in the battle in the Northern Plains, and Ji Chengtian was suspicious.
This time, it was to let Zhou Yanwei personally preside over the arrest of the Chen family to testify.
After a while, there were suddenly exclamations outside, and someone ran into the temple, knelt down tremblingly, and said:
"Your Majesty, 'Martial Saint'...... It's fallen! β
Ji Chengtian frowned: "Tell me more." β
"Yes."
The man said simply: "The 'Martial Saint' fought with the Earth Spirit Dao Monarch, and the Earth Spirit Dao Monarch was immortal and became holy, and the 'Martial Saint' Dao heart was broken, and he was defeated and retreated, and finally blew himself up and died. β
Ji Chengtian knew that things were not so simple.
The Earth Spirit Dao Monarch fought against the "Martial Saint" in order to protect Chen Kuang, how could he realize the Tao because of this?
How was the "Martial Saint" Dao Heart broken?
The Earth Spirit Dao Monarch has never been a person with a clever tongue.
So...... It is likely that Chen Kuang is the one who is the obstruction.
Ji Chengtian's eyes flickered, and he finally thought firmly: "Liang Guo's 'national fortune' has shown its power in him. β
The national fortune of a country can be a saint.
Even if Chen Kuang is only the "national fortune" of a declining country like Liang State, it is possible to affect the Dao heart of a saint.
This strengthened Ji Chengtian's desire to seek the truth.
And it didn't take long for another person to come in and deliver a message, which made Ji Chengtian Long Yan Dayue, and the light of ambition in his eyes brightened:
"Good! Ok, good, good! β
The things that have been asked to be done all this time have been done, Ji Chengtian stood up and laughed: "Come on, I want to personally go to meet our Da Zhou-"
"The Eastern Emperor Saint who has returned from the dead!"
β¦β¦
Liang.
Since this morning, Chen Ning has been feeling uneasy in his heart, chest tightness and panic.
But she only thought it was because of the bad weather today, and she didn't pay much attention to it.
Since the eldest brother Chen Kuang left, the whole Jishao County, whether it is the Cao Gang or the county guard, has secretly belonged to the Chen family's management.
Although the origin of Zhou Yanwei, who claimed to be Chen Kuang's friend, was unknown, Chen Ning was smart and had already guessed it, and secretly reminded the second brother to be vigilant.
The heart of defense is indispensable...... Especially since the other party is still half an enemy.
From Chen Kuang's decision to replace the people in the county guard mansion with the Chen family's own people, it can be seen that even he did not fully trust Zhou Yanwei.
However, overall, for the Chen family, the situation has never been better.
Jishao County is in ruins, and the power of the Chen family is also greater.
A few days ago, Hongxue Shao was happy, and Chen An began to prepare for the wedding, and Tie Baiyuan personally made a sword to give to his son-in-law.
Chen An encouraged himself with the deeds of his eldest brother that day, although it was inevitable that he would not be able to manage such a big force as the Cao Gang, he also tried his best to study and make rapid progress.
In less than half a month, he already has a little bit of non-anger and self-authority, and with this momentum, coupled with the pill exercises left by Fan Hailong, he has broken through the innate realm.
When Chen Ning returned home from the school, he felt a little chill on his forehead when he crossed the threshold.
When I looked up, I saw thin snowflakes gradually falling from the dark sky.
She tightened her clothes and said suddenly:
"yes, it's almost November."
This was the first snow that arrived early this year.
Chen Ning used to love snow the most, but today he was particularly bored, so he was not in the mood to enjoy the snow scene, and walked quickly to the hall at home.
"Daddy! Mother! β
Chen Ning has a quiet temperament, and only in front of Chen Rong and Gan Tang will he reveal a little girlish liveliness.
When she saw her father and mother sitting in the hall, she immediately smiled and stepped forward.
But after only two steps, the smile on the girl's face froze.
She saw her father and mother trembling slightly on the chair, and a black shadow stood behind each of them, expressionless in their faces, holding the dagger in their hands against their backs.
Chen Rong's eyes widened, his whole body couldn't move, the muscles on his face were already twisted, and he opened his mouth to make an exit shape-
"Quick! Run! β
Chen Ning turned around suddenly, but saw a familiar figure slowly walking in from the door.
It was Zhou Yanwei.
The second prince waved his hand, and immediately a dead soldier threw Chen An, who was also immobile and his eyes were red, into the hall.
At his age, being able to achieve the innate realm is already a great thing.
But it's not enough to look at the entire Liang Kingdom, let alone the elite dead soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom.
Zhou Yanwei looked at Chen Ning and said helplessly:
"Sister of the Chen family, I'm sorry."
"This time, I need to borrow it from you."
He took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Eryou who came out of the darkness, and took out the communication talisman.
This character is different from the jade slip in that it can not only convey the sound of the characters, but also the picture.
β¦β¦
Chen Kuang looked at the flame extinguished in front of him, and the entire world in his vision slowed down.
Due to the fall of the "Martial Saint", the remaining self-detonation power spread, and the "Dao Domain" on both sides contracted, as if even the space had collapsed by a thousand feet, and it was impossible to distinguish between distance and near.
The light of the glass lamp illuminated the sky and the earth in an instant, illuminating everyone far and near.
Under Chen Kuang's feet, the two shadows were completely different.
And when the light fell into the distance, his gaze froze.
The first to bear the brunt was Shen Meinan, who occupied Shen Xing's candle shell.
Under her feet, a shadow was also illuminated!
The shadow was not in human form, but like a lotus flower.
Secondly, it was actually Xiuzhu, a monk from Jialan Temple who had no sense of existence, and Jiang Yunqing, the "Wisdom Sword" who had helped Chen Kuangliang a lot before.
Behind the two of them, a vague shadow was also illuminated.
But the two of them were too far away, even if Chen Kuang's "Insight into Fire" could not enhance their eyesight to this extent, and they could not see clearly what shape their shadows were.
The words that Jiang Wuya, played by Xi Mengquan, suddenly flashed in Chen Kuang's mind-
"You are one of the 'heavenly fortunes', sometimes you have to have it in your life, and you can't force it all the time in your life, you will always meet it."
This time, relying on the ancient battlefield, he actually met three characters who were suspected of "heavenly luck".
It's wonderful.
Chen Kuang's thinking turned a thousand times in this moment.
The next moment, the light of the glass lamp dissipated, and only a brief shadow appeared, and it also disappeared.
"Boom ββ!!!!"
Chen Kuang saw a saint...... No, it's a self-explosion of a Xuan Xuan Realm.
It's like the stars falling, and the sun and the moon are martyred.
Even though he had been fixed at a long enough distance by Chen Kuang, in just an instant, he felt as if his viscera had been smashed by a hammer of tens of millions of catties.
"Poof!"
Chen Kuang's face turned pale and he spat blood, but the last thing he was afraid of was physical injury, and he just carried it.
It's just that at this moment, the most uncomfortable thing is the severely injured divine soul.
When the sharp pain that he could easily endure in the past hit, he almost fainted.
Fortunately, a pair of slender hands caught him and hugged him into his soft arms.
The aura poured in like no money, which finally kept him awake and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The entire sea of knowledge was already close to exhaustion, and in another quarter of an hour, his cultivation would have regressed to the next three grades.
"I pretended to be like it at the beginning, and I thought how strong I was as a 'Tongjun senior'...... I didn't expect it to be a silver-like pewter head. β
Lu Zhixuan gently reached out and pinched Chen Kuang's cheek to vent his anger.
Then he asked softly, "How do you know what I am going to do?" β
This time, she can actually be regarded as a fraud death.
not only deceived Chen Kuang's sincerity, but also deceived a chance to become holy, which can be said to have won twice.
Win hemp.
Chen Kuang leaned on her, stared at her for a while, and said, "Are you sure you want me to say?" β
Lu Zhixuan nodded.
What's so bad about that? Although she used Chen Kuang to become a saint and her purpose was not pure, she still wanted to know how much Chen Kuang's sincerity was.
Chen Kuang suddenly leaned into her ear and said softly:
"You're lyingβ"
"You said that you are not a good master, and you are not willing to compete with your apprentice for a man's love."
He blinked and said seriously: "This sentence is a lie. β
The color of the Lu folded rotating surface does not change.
She's a saint, so it's so easy to be shy.
"Well, it's a lie."
Earth Spirit Dao Jun smiled, and then said, "Therefore, you have to choose, do you want an apprentice or a master?" β
Can't do both?
Chen Kuang wanted to say this in his heart.
But reason told him that it was best not to tease a Dao Shore Realm that was sanctified by "infatuation" at this time.
Chen Kuang didn't answer directly, but just looked at Lu Zhixuan and said, "I once said that I had a heart-to-heart relationship...... I still don't dare to forget it. β
He proposed, "Now that my mind is exhausted, it is not appropriate, what about when I heal from my wounds?" β
It's kind of a pie drawn, and a deadline for consideration.
Lu Zhixuan snorted, and reluctantly agreed.
She took Chen Kuang to join the others.
Everyone congratulated Lu Xuanxuan on his sanctification, but Shen Meinan was particularly happy to see Chen Kuang intact, but because of this body, he could only congratulate him with two words, and he couldn't come forward to check, and his heart was especially depressed.
Chen Kuangqiang held on to some distance from Lu Xuanxuan to avoid suspicion.
That Ji Wangquan suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Chen Ruogu, my father wants to invite you to Zhou Kingdom as a guest, I don't know if you are willing?"
Everyone else was very surprised, at this moment they all knew that Chen Ruogu was that Chen Kuang, and the Zhou State had a grudge against the country!
This Ji Chengtian wanted to invite Chen Kuang, and his thoughts were very subtle.
Chen Kuang took a breath: "What if I don't want to?" β
Ji Wangquan took out a communication charm and threw it over: "You will be willing." β
