Li Xiang still has that expression, he can't see the emotion, but it's very weird.

Gu Meng looked at him and said, "Is it just the Queen Mother?"

Li Xiang said nonethelessly: "Your Majesty hasn't thought it through yet?"

Gu Meng raised his head, his eyes were already full of determination, he looked at Li Xiang and said, "I am not such a useless person. ”

After the night he became the emperor of Southern Chu, Da Qi broke through the Yingdu of Southern Chu, so Gu Meng never called himself I, and then met Li Xiang later, in order to cover up his identity, even more so.

Today, it is the first time that Gu Meng has called himself me.

Li Xiang asked, "Then how is Your Majesty going to break the situation?" ”

"I don't have to tell you what I'm going to do, you don't have to ask. ”

When he said this, Gu Meng looked at Li Xiang's eyes, and there was not too much emotion in his eyes, as if he was really a ruthless emperor.

Li Xiang was stunned, he didn't speak, or maybe he couldn't say anything.

Gu Meng turned his head to look at the palace, which was very quiet in the night, and then he smiled: "Nanchu is gone, and you are naturally gone." ”

Before the words fell, the palace suddenly burned, it was a flame that I don't know where it came from, and it began to burn in the imperial city, and after a while, the imperial city became a sea of fire, standing in the sea of fire, Gu Ming, who was dressed in a white imperial robe, looked at it expressionlessly, in his hand, I don't know when, Candle You appeared again.

It was still the cyan bead, which was held in Gu Ming's hand.

The imperial city in front of him was burned by the fire, and the previous imperial city reappeared in front of him.

This is not the imperial city of Southern Chu, but the imperial city of Daning.

Liu Yi stood not far away, looked at the tiredness between his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "What do you see?"

Anyone who enters this imperial city obviously has to go through such a tempering of the state of mind, and Liuyi is of course no exception, but Liuyi is like this, and it seems that the previous illusion has troubled her.

Gu Meng shook his head and did not speak.

After a moment of silence, Gu Meng said, "I don't think I should have come here. ”

Liu Yi looked at him, not knowing what to say.

Gu Meng took a deep breath, "Let's go, hurry up and get this done." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the front, Liu Yi also followed, and the two of them left from the palace road, and there was a big hall in front of them, but Gu Meng did not choose to investigate, but walked towards a remote palace road on the side of the main hall.

"Why don't you go to that hall?" Although he didn't stop Gu Ming, Liu Yi was still a little puzzled.

Gu Meng walked in front and said without looking back: "If you want to guess the heart of the emperor, I believe that none of the cultivators who have entered the imperial city are as good as me. ”

Liu Yi thought to herself that you are a descendant of the Daning royal family, maybe you really know something that others don't know, thinking of this, she didn't speak.

Along the palace road, at the end, there was a side hall, in front of the side hall, there was a small water tank.

The water tank is not an ordinary water tank, this water tank is carved from jade, but it is only carved with some lotus flowers, which looks very elegant.

This water tank is bigger and taller than an ordinary water tank, and if it weren't for the stone bench next to it, standing on the ground like this, it would definitely be impossible to see what was in the water tank.

Liu Yi and Gu Meng both stood on the stone bench, and only then did they see the contents of the water tank.

There is not only water in it, but it is also very clear, not only is it very clear, but there are also swimming fish.

One white and one green, two carp swim in the tank.

If you look closely, you can see that the two carp have long whiskers and some protrusions on their heads, as if they were trying to produce a pair of horns in that place.

Gu Meng was a little distracted and said, "It turned out to be an Arowana." ”

Listening to the word Arowana, Liu Yi also turned his head in surprise.

In ancient mythology, the true dragon is one of the most powerful divine beasts, and among the four mythical beasts rumored by folklore, the green dragon is at the head of the four divine beasts, and that is a true dragon.

The real dragon is powerful, but in some ways, it is also criticized by people, the dragon is inherently lewd, in addition to the female dragon, the male dragon is also easy to mate with other foreign beasts.

Despite this, due to the very strong bloodline of the dragon race, it is very difficult to give birth to an heir, so even if the dragon clan is promiscuous, the rest of the race will rarely be able to give birth to an heir.

Only a handful of races have offspring after mating with dragons.

Arowana is one of them.

It is the most common one among the descendants of the true dragon, and the blood in the body is not pure, but because of this reason, when those alien beasts in ancient times were collectively extinct, the arowana survived.

Although the number was still scarce after that, it did not become extinct.

The royal family of the past dynasties would order people to find arowana to raise in the palace, and the official position of being responsible for raising arowana was called the dragon clan.

In fact, this official position existed in ancient times, but at that time, the human emperor raised a real dragon, and in later generations, it became an arowana.

According to historical records, the last time Arowana appeared in the world was two Arowana found by Fang Shi on an overseas island, one male and one female, one green and one white.

The monk dedicated these two dragonfish to Emperor Ning Qi, Emperor Ning Qi was very happy, regarded them as treasures, and finally the dragon fish disappeared after Emperor Ning Qi died, no one knew that he actually brought them to the emperor's tomb.

For a thousand years, I have been raising it in such a water tank, I don't know what means I used, but I am still alive at the moment.

Gu Meng opened his mouth and said: "It is rumored in ancient times that although the dragon fish only has a very small amount of blood in the true dragon, as long as the spiritual wisdom is born and the practice is diligent, one day, the dragon blood in the body is revived, and it can become a real dragon again. Now the only two dragonfish in this world are here, and if other cultivators know about it, they will definitely snatch it. ”

The two dragon fish in the water tank in front of them already have a bulge on their heads, plus they have lived for a thousand years, it is very likely that they may turn into dragons, this is a peerless treasure, what is the concept of a real dragon? This is enough to cause an earthquake in the cultivation world.

Liu Yi had also heard of this legend, and looking at the dragon fish still swimming in the fish tank, she said, "I want that blue one." ”

Gu Meng raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect her to be so direct.

Since the two Arowana were discovered by them, they naturally wanted to take them away, but Gu Meng didn't expect that the other party could speak so bluntly without any hypocrisy.

Gu Meng frowned and said: "In such a water tank, they can survive for a thousand years, there must be some means, if we take them out rashly, they may die soon." ”

Surviving in backwater for thousands of years is indeed not an easy task.

Gu Meng was not in a hurry to get the dragonfish, but looked at the lotus canopy in the center of the water tank.

Obviously, this tank used to be planted with lotus flowers, but after thousands of years, the lotus flowers have long since died, and now only the blackened lotus canopy floating on the water surface remains.

Gu Meng looked intently and found a touch of greenery inside.

He took the candle and turned it into a dagger, reached into the center of the tank, and sliced the canopy open, revealing its contents.

Those were two green lotus seeds.

After thousands of years, these two lotus seeds still look so green, they don't look ordinary, Gu Meng carefully felt the water tank, and after finding nothing unusual, he reached out and picked up the two lotus seeds, and was about to speak, when suddenly two lights and shadows swept up in the water tank, and they disappeared into the lotus seeds.

Looking at the water tank again, there are still traces of the two arowanas in it.

On the contrary, there are two small dots on the lotus seeds, one green and one white.

The lotus seed itself is cyan, but the dot is a little more intense.

This goes without saying.

Gu Meng handed the lotus seed with a small cyan dot to Liu Yi, and then put away the other lotus seed, "It is estimated that the key to the survival of this Arowana is on these two lotus seeds, and it is collected." ”

Liu Yi nodded.

Gu Meng suddenly said worriedly: "Your Beihai is so cold, there is ice and snow everywhere, I'm afraid it's not suitable for the growth of lotus seeds, why don't you give it to me, and I'll plant it for you?"

Liu Yi raised his eyebrows and sneered: "I thought you were some kind of righteous gentleman, and this time you saw the treasure and revealed your true form?"

Gu Meng said solemnly: "As a descendant of the Daning Imperial Family, if this is reasonable, the entire imperial tomb is mine, let alone this." ”

Liu Yi said disapprerovingly: "Descendants like you, maybe there are many more in this world, so do you want to divide the emperor's tombs one by one?"

Gu Meng didn't speak, he was actually a little bottomless.

After receiving the treasure in the water tank, Gu Meng continued to walk forward, not entering the side hall, but bypassing the side hall and walking towards the distance.

Liu Yi asked puzzledly: "There are treasures at this door, and there are not more treasures in the house, why don't you go and get them?"

Gu Meng said bluntly: "Only a stupid person would think about what treasures are in these halls, even if there are treasures, if you go to get them now, you will die, that Emperor of the Ages is choosing an heir, not for you to come in and hunt for treasures." ”

Of course, Emperor Ning Qi didn't care if he liked these treasures, what he tested was only his heart and ability, both of which were indispensable, if something went wrong somewhere, he would definitely be killed by some of the traps arranged here.

Bypassing the side hall and continuing towards the deep palace, they soon came to a long corridor, and right next to the corridor, there was a lake.

That's a lake in the truest sense of the word.

And it's a lake in the imperial city.

It's just that there are no swimming fish in it, just some water.

Gu Luo thought about why he didn't raise the Arowana here, and Liu Yi was amazed by such an imperial spirit.

The two walked along the corridor, and finally saw a path at the end of the corridor that led to the deep palace in the distance.

In this imperial city, the deep palace is leaning on the deep palace, and no one knows which hall the final resting place of Emperor Ning Qi will be.

According to the thoughts of ordinary cultivators, Emperor Ning Qi should end up on the dragon bed in his own dormitory, causing a person who is not dead, but just asleep.

But Gu Meng knew that an extremely proud person like Emperor Ning Qi would never bow his head to something, even if it was fate.

So he should definitely be in the hall where the court meeting is held every day.

It is likely that he is still sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, wearing an imperial robe, and his body is not decomposed.

It's entirely possible.

Walking slowly all the way, looking at the vermilion wall on his side, the two kept moving forward, but they did not encounter any mechanisms and formations.

It seems that the test before that is the only test of Emperor Ning Qi.

If there is only such a test for a generation of heroes, it seems to be too bland.

But if you think about it carefully, an emperor like Emperor Ning Qi has his own true meaning between movement and quiet, and if this is the case, it may not be said.

That hall is hidden in countless buildings, and it is a little difficult to find it, but Gu Meng is a child of the royal family after all, although the imperial city of Yingdu is much smaller than this imperial city, but the buildings are probably the same.

So along the way, there were no obstacles.

As Liu Yi walked forward, the more depressed he felt, and he didn't know why, so nervous that he couldn't speak.

"Gu Ming, do you feel that someone is watching us?"

Liu Yi couldn't help it, and slowly spoke, very vigilant.

Gu Meng had been holding the candle in his hand tightly, listening to Liu Yi's words, Gu Meng stopped, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "That's true." ”

Just when the two of them stopped, there was a sudden neighing sound of horses in the palace road!

This was followed by the sound of horses' hooves.

At the end of the palace road, a tall and majestic black horse appeared, and immediately there was a tall and armored general in black armor, holding a long lance.

He was at one end of the palace road, pulled the reins of the horse, and the front hooves of the black horse were raised and stopped in place.

"Who dares to trespass on the Forbidden Palace!"

The armored general looked at Gu Meng and Liu Yi, his eyes full of murderous aura.

Gu Luo glanced at Liu Yi with some resentment, thinking to himself that what you said, this is the matter.

Gu Meng looked at the armored general, felt the breath of the other party, and thought to himself that he had to say something, but just as he was thinking, the other party had already rushed over.

"Trespassing in the Forbidden Palace, capital offense!"

As the words landed, the black horse galloped over, and in an instant, it had already come to Gu Ming's body, Gu Luo didn't have to think about it, the candle game in his hand changed instantly, turning into a white long sword.

In an instant, the most powerful sword in the Blue Dragon Sword Technique flew out in an instant, and a cyan dragon roared and rushed towards the armored general.

"It's still a sword cultivator in Zheshan, do you want to disrupt the country?" With an angry roar, the armored general clamped the horse's belly heavily, and in an instant he met the green dragon, and with a wave of the long lance in his hand, the black gang qi was like substance, and hit the green dragon's head hard.

With just one move, he broke the green dragon.

Immediately after, the long lance in his hand stabbed towards Gu Ming, with a black wind!

Gu Meng raised his sword to resist, but he was swept by the long lance, and the whole person flew into the distance, and the huge force kept pushing Gu Meng back, making him directly crash into the Zhu Wall behind him, Zhu Liang didn't know what material it was built of, but it didn't collapse, but Gu Ming's back hit it hard, making his brain lose his mind for a moment.

At the same time as he lost his mind, the long lance in the hand of the armored general was thrown out by him, and the long lance with a black wind broke through the air, as if he wanted to nail Gu Meng to death here.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, a narrow knife swept out, and Liu Yi slowed down the speed of the long lance a lot, and Gu Meng came back to his senses and left in front of the Zhu Wall, panting heavily.

Seeing that this blow was no longer successful, the armored general stretched out his hand to recall the lance, sat upright on his horse, and looked at the two men condescendingly, and for a moment, there was no movement.

Liu Yi, who forcibly blocked the long lance, was not having a good time at this time, her arm was extremely sore, and after snatching towards Gu Ming, she looked at the armored general and asked, "Is this a real cultivator?"

Gu Meng shook his head and said firmly: "It's been a thousand years, he should have died a long time ago, how can he survive, and according to his realm, it is absolutely impossible to live to a thousand years later." ”

Although he said so, after all, there were lessons from Zhu Yan and Red Hair in the valley, and Gu Luo still didn't dare to take it lightly.

After all, this is a matter of losing one's life at every turn.

It's just that at this moment, looking at the armored general sitting on horseback, neither speaking nor making any movements, Gu Meng is still suspicious.

"Is it possible that if you only have one blow and don't carry it, you will be killed?"

Liu Yi frowned, but quickly figured it out, if this was one of Emperor Ning Qi's tests, to test it with something whose realm was far higher than that of a cultivator, in this blow, it was to test the candidate's reaction and ability to face a desperate situation.

This looks simple, but it is actually a simple approach.

Gu Meng said with palpitations: "Fortunately, it is the two of us, if it is just me, I am afraid that I really can't hide from it." ”

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Gu Ming, you owe me another life." ”

Gu Meng said angrily: "I should let you go ahead, so that I can save you and pay off the previous one." ”

Liu Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't care, anyway, you owe me two lives now." ”

Gu Meng was a little helpless, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He looked at the armored general and wanted to say something, but he didn't expect that the next moment, the armored general actually turned into a little golden light and dissipated.

This also shows that Gu Ming's previous guess is completely fine.

Looking at the road ahead, Gu Meng asked, "Why don't you lead the way, and I'll break off behind?"

Liu Yi shook his head and said, "I can't find the way." ”

Gu Meng snorted, but no matter how helpless he was, he still walked in front.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the rest of the road.

After coming out of the palace road, the eyes suddenly opened up.

In front of them, there is a large hall, the main hall is magnificent, the four cornices are carved with some eaves beasts, in front of the main hall, a stone staircase paved with jade is in front of the two of them.

In front of the jade steps, there is a square, and I think this is where the ministers who are waiting for the court meeting are staying.

Just when Gu Meng looked at the main hall, in the palace road not far from his side, Liang Zhao walked out, he was as always, but his eyes were much clearer.

Gu Luo looked at it and knew that Liang Zhao had gained something here, which made him extremely depressed, why did Liang Zhao always be like this, it seemed that no matter what, he couldn't make him stagnate.

After an instant, the little novice Zhizen of the Forgotten Dust Temple appeared here.

His aura is much stronger than before.

At this time, Gu Luo noticed that there was far more than one palace road leading to here, at least a dozen.

That is to say, these cultivators who have passed the first level will experience an interception in the palace path, and if they survive, they will be able to reach this place.

Emperor Ning Qi's two tests, there should be many people who passed.

Sure enough, soon a number of cultivators also appeared here, it was a few sword cultivators from the Sword Mansion, and Gu Luo only knew Che Su.

Looking at those people, Gu Meng thought that Jiang Chao was seriously injured, and it was almost impossible for him to appear here, but what about that guy in Susu?

Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a straw hat walked out of a palace road, his face was calm, and his bearing was extraordinary.

This young genius of Nanling, Gu Meng actually has a high opinion of him.

Everyone was in no hurry to do anything, Gu Meng was watching the palace path that had not stepped out of the human being, while those cultivators were silently pranayama.

They waited for a long time, and finally saw a young man with a sword walking out of the palace road with a curse.

It was Susu.

Su Su's current state is not good, his clothes are torn a lot, and there are some wounds on his face, but the spirit of the whole person is not bad, after he came out, as soon as he saw Gu Luo, he ran towards this side, and scolded as he ran: "Xiao Gu, I'm so fucking unlucky!"

Gu Luo looked at him, and although he knew this kid's consistent style, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Running to Gu Ming's side, Su Su was still chattering, "Lao Tzu just looked at a good night pearl outside, thinking about bringing it to you kid, who knows, just took it out, and chased me for something, fortunately, I cultivated deeply, otherwise I would have been killed." ”

Gu Meng looked at him and asked with a smile, "What about the night pearl?"

"Fuck you, Lao Tzu is so virtuous, you still care about the night pearl, you are the real fucking sword embryo, right?"

Gu Meng would only really feel speechless when facing this guy Su Su.

"The Night Pearl is gone, that thing has been chasing me, and I dare to the fuck to stay? Of course it's lost. ”

Su Su said angrily: "You kid didn't seem to have suffered any crimes, is it really because of the blood in your body that you came all the way?"

Gu Meng shook his head and told him about what he had encountered in the palace road before.

Su Su glanced at Liu Yi and frowned, "Damn, it seems that finding a daughter-in-law early is the right thing." ”

Liu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "If you talk nonsense, I will kill you." ”

Su Su shrunk his neck and smiled.

It's not that I'm afraid that Liu Yi said that he would kill him, but thinking about the fact that he was kicked by a donkey before, the other party is still one of the only two witnesses, so he has no choice but to admit it.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Gu, what's the problem now? Or do we just need to enter that hall and get the best thing?"

Gu Meng frowned and said: "It's not that simple, where is that person's inheritance so easy to take, I think there are at least two more levels to pass." ”

"Huh?"

This time, it was Liu Yi who looked at Gu Ming.

Gu Meng pointed to the jade steps, "That place is not easy to walk, go to it, open the door, after entering, there will definitely be a final test, maybe I will kill you there." ”

Su Su sighed, "You royal children, don't you just think about how to calculate people all day long, and it's so troublesome to leave an inheritance?"

Gu Meng smiled and said: "The Heavenly Family is ruthless, especially such an emperor, you want him to give you a little human touch, it's really a pipe dream." ”

Su Su didn't say anything.

It's just that at this time, Liang Zhao has already moved.
