Chapter 11: Cloud Hidden Immortal Palace
Shi Sheng and Yao Xiang were both very embarrassed, the bounty city lord stood and didn't sit, how could they be embarrassed to sit down?
Shi Sheng laughed dryly and said, "City Lord, let's sit and talk, shall we?" Hearing this, the City Lord of the Bounty did not answer, he looked at Qingqing, and Qingqing said: "My brother asked you to sit, you can sit." ”
"Yes, yes. The bounty city lord hurriedly sat opposite Shi Sheng and the others, but he didn't dare to sit on the high chair at the end of the hall.
Shi Sheng also took Yao Xiang and Qingqing into their seats, and said, "City Lord, there is something important to ask for below, and I hope you can want to help." ”
The bounty city lord can clearly sense that Shi Sheng is not a demon, but Shi Sheng is Qingqing's righteous brother after all, and the bounty city lord is afraid of the house and Wu, and he is also very polite to Shi Sheng, and said: "Your Excellency has something important, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Shi Sheng said: "I don't know if the city lord has heard of the Tomb Shadow Society?" The bounty city lord bowed slightly, and said: "The tomb shadow meeting is not simple, I heard that even the Northern Heaven Sword Sect was picked by them. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yao Xiang and said, "Girl, you are the granddaughter of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, right?"
Yao Xiang was slightly stunned, then nodded, and said, "How do you know?" The bounty city lord smiled slightly, and said: "The Northern Heaven Sword Saint is the only person I sincerely admire, the power of his bloodline, the old man still remembers it vividly, in you, I can clearly feel the bloodline of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint." ”
Yao Xiang couldn't help but feel gloomy when he heard the bounty city lord mention the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, Shi Sheng took Yao Xiang's hand, shook it gently, and comforted Yao Xiang silently.
After Yao Xiang's mood improved slightly, Shi Sheng turned his head to look at the bounty city lord and said, "City lord." In the entire southern corner, only you can match the predecessor of the Sword Master, so ......"
The bounty city lord waved his hand, interrupted Shi Sheng, and said, "The old man knows your intentions, you want to ask me for help to deal with the Tomb Shadow Society, right?"
Shi Sheng nodded and said, "Exactly." The bounty lord sighed, his eyes flashing with remembrance. Said: "Back then, the old man fought with the Northern Heaven Sword Saint. evenly matched, fought for seven days and seven nights, after all, he was superior in skill and narrowly won with an advantage of half a move. The old man lost this battle convincingly. I have nothing to say. It's just that I'm a member of the Dongtuo lion family, and I like to fight by nature, and it's rare to meet opponents. The old man naturally wants to fight a few more battles with the Beitian Sword Saint, but unfortunately I retreat to recuperate from my injuries, and wait until I heal and get out of the customs, it is already thirty years later, things have changed and the stars have changed, and the Beitian Sword Saint has recently reached his old age, old age and decay, and his strength has long been much worse than before. ”
Speaking of this, the bounty city lord sighed again, and said: "Although the Northern Heaven Sword Saint is dying, it still retains at least six or seven percent of its strength, and it is still invincible in the Seven Kingdoms, and the Tomb Shadow Society can break through the Northern Heaven Sword Sect and kill the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, its combat power must be extraordinary, especially the mysterious Tomb Shadow Society Sect Master, who has never shown up or shown his face, according to the old man's speculation, to deal with the Tomb Shadow Society, at least ten or more emperor-level masters are needed." ”
Shi Sheng and Yao Xiang were shocked when they heard this, there were more than ten emperor-level masters, and the Seven Kingdoms in the Southern Corner couldn't be put together!
The bounty city lord said: "The old man and the Zhong family are hindered by the oath of the year, and they will never be allowed to set foot in the land of the Seven Kingdoms, and the only thing that can help you is to order Shili in the fourth district of the royal city to follow your majesty back to the Blue Country to seek the Tomb Shadow Society. ”
"Oath?" Shi Shengqi said, "What oath?" The bounty city lord sighed, his face showed a sad look, he shook his head, and was silent.
Qingqing frowned slightly, and said, "My brother asked you, why don't you answer?" The city lord of the bounty shuddered, and hurriedly said: "This matter is a long story, it has to start from more than five thousand years ago...... "At that moment, the bounty city lord turned over the old past and told Shi Sheng and the three of them all.
More than 5,000 years ago, there was only one kingdom in the south, called the "Tiannan Kingdom", and the royal family in the country was the Zhong family.
At that time, the bounty city lord was seriously injured, fled into the southern corner, and was rescued by the emperor of the Tiannan Kingdom, and since then the bounty city lord has been staying in the Tiannan Kingdom in order to repay the favor, becoming the guardian beast of the Zhong family, the Zhong family treats him like a relative, and gives him a name, called Zhong Li.
Demon beasts have an extremely long lifespan, usually can live for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, with Zhong Li's protection, the imperial power of the Zhong family will not be shaken for thousands of years, so the Zhong family has gradually become arrogant and lascivious, corrupt and degenerate, and even disobey the control of the Holy League.
How strong is the strength of the envoys of the Holy Alliance? How can the little Zhong family resist it? The Zhong family was wiped out overnight, and the clan was almost wiped out! Only a very small part of the Zhong family escaped the slaughter, and Zhong Qian escorted the survivors to escape into the Resentful Spirit Swamp, and the envoys of the Holy Alliance then arrived to drive out the Zhong family and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots!
Most of the survivors who escaped from the Zhong family were old and weak women and children, and the envoy of the Holy Alliance was soft-hearted for a while, so he let everyone go and let him make a poisonous oath, from now on, the Zhong family will never leave the Resentful Spirit Swamp, otherwise they will be killed!
The remnants of the Zhong family, under the protection of Zhong Li, came to the killing capital, pacified the chaos, established the bounty city, and became the royal family of the Swamp of the Resentful Spirit.
After the fall of the Zhong family, the Tiannan Kingdom split into the Seven Kingdoms of the Southern Corner, however, the royal family of the Seven Kingdoms of the Southern Corner, both in strength and heritage, is far inferior to the Zhong family, the royal family of the Tiannan Kingdom, so the combat power of the Resentful Spirit Swamp is actually far stronger than that of the Seven Kingdoms combined.
After hearing this, Shi Sheng knew that Zhong Qian and the Zhong family did have a hard time, and he would not help him deal with the Tomb Shadow Society, unless the Tomb Shadow would find death by himself and run to the Resentful Spirit Swamp, then Zhong Li and the Zhong family could do it at will.
The shili in the four districts of Wangcheng can be regarded as a subsidiary shili of the Zhong family, so they will obey the orders of the Zhong family, but the seven domain masters of the seven main domains do not directly belong to the Zhong family, but are only nominally obedient, similar to the princes of the dominant side, it is absolutely impossible to work for the Zhong family.
Just Shili in the fourth district of Wangcheng, it is impossible to deal with the Tomb Shadow Society, Shi Sheng must find other help, either unite the Seven Kingdoms, or say that the Seven Great Domain Lords are moved, however, these two options are difficult to ascend to the sky, Shi Sheng was silent for a while.
Qingqing saw that Shi Sheng was worried, and felt uncomfortable, so she turned her head to look at Zhong Li and said, "Do you have any way?" Help my brother. ”
Zhong Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a way." Shi Sheng was overjoyed and said, "City Lord, please speak!" Zhong Li said: "The old man can't say that he can move the Seven Great Domain Lords to work for me, but there is one person who can." ”
Shi Sheng's heart sank, and said, "White-eyed Immortal?" Zhong Qian nodded and said, "That's right! The entire Resentful Spirit Swamp is holy to the White-eyed Immortal, and the Seven Great Domain Lords are all immortals who teach and become talents, and they obey the orders of the immortals, if Your Excellency can say that the white-eyed immortals can be moved, great things will definitely be done!"
The Seven Domain Lords are all emperor-level strength, and there are also a group of monarch-level and king-level masters under him, if they can unite the Seven Domain Lords and the four districts of Wangcheng, they will definitely be able to fight with the Tomb Shadow Society!
Shi Sheng groaned slightly, and said: "City Lord, I heard that you have come back to life, is this true?" Zhong Li said: "To tell the truth, the old man is not very clear, when the old man fought with the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, he injured his heart and lungs, and soon after returning to the city, he passed out, and when he woke up, it was three years later, the descendants of the Zhong family who took care of me said that the immortal Weng saved me, but the old man himself was unconscious. ”
Shi Sheng nodded and said, "Is the white-eyed immortal really that godly?" Zhong Li said: "I don't know much about the old man's resurrection, but the immortal does have the ability to be otherworldly and comparable to the immortal god." ”
"Oh?" Shi Shengqi said: "What kind of ability is it?" Zhong Li said: "The old man can't say clearly, when you see the immortal, you will understand." Shi Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for the city lord." ”
Zhong Li hurriedly said: "Polite, polite." Shi Sheng stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Junior, I'll go to find the white-eyed immortal Weng and say goodbye." Yao Xiang and Qingqing also stood up, Zhong Li hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said, "I'll give you a ride." After seeing the three of them leave, Zhong Li couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his head, and said secretly in his heart: "What a terrible bloodline coercion......! Could she be the legendary ...... How could such a noble bloodline flow into this little southern corner? Shouldn't it be...... It shouldn't be ......"
When Shi Sheng and the three of them left Tiannan Palace, Zhong Li gave them a token, which was convenient for Shi Sheng and the three of them to enter and leave the Wang District freely, but saved a lot of money for Shi Sheng.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Shi Sheng and the three of them left the bounty city from the east gate and headed east, because the holy area was on the east side of the royal domain.
There is an unwritten rule in the Swamp of the Resentful Spirit, it is forbidden to fly within 300 miles of the Holy City, if it is a believer of immortals, they will also bow down to the Holy City to show their piety, and the three of Shi Sheng follow the customs, and fly down to the ground at a distance of 300 miles from the Holy City, and rush to the Holy City on foot.
An hour later, Shi Sheng and the three of them entered the holy city, the atmosphere of this holy city is very different from the royal city, without the vicissitudes of the royal city, but it is more solemn, as if you can hear the wonderful meaning of Sanskrit at any time.
There are portraits, stone statues, temples and so on everywhere in the city, which shows how pious everyone is to worship the white-eyed fairy!
The residence of the white-eyed immortal is located in the center of the holy city, called "Yunyin Immortal Palace", the fog lingers all day long, it is difficult to see the true face, and several carved blue tiles can be faintly seen, in the mist, there is indeed a bit of sassy fairy posture.
Shi Sheng three people came to the door of Yunyin Immortal Palace, but saw that the gate was carved with white jade, the cloud crane pattern was lifelike, quite a fairy family legacy, the jade pillars on both sides of the gate were carved with a line of words, it was a couplet, the left head is "through the ancient and the present through the change, it is not easy to pass the heart", the right head is "know the heavens and the earth to know the infinite, know yourself is difficult", and the horizontal criticism "the heart is endless".
