Chapter 7: A Broken Spear
Early the next morning.
Xia Yuan, who was already neatly dressed, walked out of the Purple Moon Palace, and Granny Mo, who was outside the palace, had been waiting for a long time.
Looking at the dormitory behind him, where he had lived since childhood, Xia Yuan only sighed.
On the swing under the ancient tree in the hall, it was once full of laughter, he swinged, and his mother stroked the piano under the tree.
"Little Prince, your cultivation physique is too outstanding, in this Heavenly Empire, although there are people who are secretly protecting, you still need to be careful to guard against the assassination of others. The old slave heard that the emperor of the Celestial Empire, who had traveled the world all the year round, would return soon, and the eldest prince was his descendant disciple. β
The years have cut through the sky, and throughout the ages, how many amazing and brilliant people have died of hatred and have been drowned in the long river of history.
turned into loess and raised in the world.
"The eldest prince is suspicious and jealous by nature, and in this temple, there are not a few people who support the eldest prince, and the identity of the emperor dictates that even the emperor of today's dynasty must be polite to him. β
Granny Mo followed Xia Yuan's side and said worriedly.
"I'm afraid that I have been hated by the eldest prince for a long time, so I don't care about one more time. However, I am not a fish on the board, he can't slaughter it. β
Xia Yuan's clothes fluttered, staring at it, the snow in this winter is very beautiful, very cold, just like this temple, it is very brilliant, but it lacks the human touch in the world.
"The weak eat the strong, and respect the strong, if he is ruthless, don't blame me for my unrighteousness today. β
The Purple Moon Palace was not very far from the Emperor's Palace, and after a pillar of incense, Xia Yuan and Granny Mo came to the gate of the Emperor's Palace.
The snow in the sky has never fallen on the roof of the emperor's palace.
"Little prince, the old slave retreated first. β
The eaves of the imperial hall are hung high, and the big red columns on both sides are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the atmosphere is magnificent.
Granny Mo lowered her eyebrows and didn't dare to look directly, so she bowed and saluted, and each of them retreated.
"Under the prosperity of royal power and wealth, the panic of the world is just a few taels of broken silver. β
Xia Yuan shook his head, then raised his legs and walked into the imperial hall.
The hall is large, very empty, in the hall, there are five figures on the high platform.
Xia Wuhou sat on the dragon chair, talking in a low voice with the Beiwu King beside him, and between their eyebrows, they smiled.
The eldest prince stood on the right side of Xia Wuhou, his eyes shot at the cold star, and his two curved eyebrows were like paint.
On the left side of King Beiwu, there stood a young girl, dressed in purple, with a smile like a flower.
Qin Qianqian stood beside Qin Lan, looking at her with a smile in her eyes.
"Father, my son is a little late. β
Xia Yuan got on the high platform and bowed.
"It doesn't matter, the cold of this winter will inevitably make people remember the warmth of the bed. β
Xia Wuhou smiled very easily.
"Yuan'er, do you remember this king? β
King Beiwu's face flushed, he raised his hand and touched a small beard under his lips, laughing heartily.
"Xia Yuan, I've seen the King of Northern Martial Arts Chitose. β
Xia Yuan bowed and saluted.
Six years ago, An Sirong took Xia Yuan as a guest in the Beiwu Palace.
Among them, the eclectic and free temperament of the King of Beiwu made Xia Yuan have a profound image.
"Why do you need to be polite, you and Xiaolan are married, we are a family, but there are some changes in the middle. β
King Beiwu stood up and stretched out his hands to help Xia Yuan up.
For Xia Yuan, the fast son-in-law of the dragon, the King of Beiwu is very fond of it, not only has a divine vein, but also is not arrogant or impatient, and it should be like this when he has a child.
"Okay, King Wu, I'll talk about the old things later, some things about the Nine Star Secret Realm, but I have to tell the children in advance. β
Xia Yuan coughed lightly and stopped the enthusiastic Beiwu King.
"What my king said is very true, Yuan'er, this king will inform you about your marriage with Xiaolan later. β
King Hokubu cupped his forehead and sat back in his chair.
It was very happy to see each other, and under the excitement of this moment, he left the business behind.
"Xia Chun, Xia Yuan, Qin Lan, Qin Qianqian, you four little guys have to listen well. β
Xia Wuhou restrained his smile, the solemnity above his appearance, and the majesty of an emperor was permeating.
"Yes, Father. β
"Yes, my king. β
The four of them bowed, and they listened.
"The Nine Stars Secret Realm is a grand event in the entire Nether Realm, which will open in three years, and the premise of entering the Secret Realm is that a young man under the age of sixteen. According to rumors, the Secret Realm of the Nine Stars is a small world left behind by the prison master before he attained the Tao, and there are many opportunities in it, and what you can get depends on your respective creations. β
Xia Wuhou raised his eyes and looked at the four people in front of him, and after a pause, he continued. "Although my Celestial Dynasty dominates one side, this Nine Star Secret Realm can only send ten people there, and the same is true for the other two major dynasties. There is not only an age limit to enter the Nine-Star Secret Realm, but also a certain number of people, and in the entire Netherworld, only five hundred people can enter the Nine-Star Secret Realm. β
"There are many sects in the Nether Realm, although there are only a few five hundred people, all of them are the best in each sect, you must not take it lightly. β
Xia Wuhou stood up, he stood with his hands in his hands, a pair of sword eyebrows upside down, and a gleam in his eyes. "In the Nine Stars, you must not only look for your own opportunities, but also find a broken spear for the Celestial Empire. β
On that day, the heavens and the earth were surging, the sun and the moon were reversed, and a golden spear passed through the boundary sea, from the upper realm to the lower realm.
Then, a big hand covering the sky fell, and the spear was broken into two in an instant, and the head of the spear fell in the secret territory of the Nine Stars.
This is a weapon with great power, and the other is unknown.
"Yes, Father. β
"Yes, my king. β
After Xia Wuhou finished speaking, he sat back on the dragon chair, but there was a trace of tiredness between his eyebrows, which was fleeting.
"Nine Star Secret Realm and his party, Xia Chun is older than you, so let him lead the team. β
Xia Wuhou commanded.
"Yes, the son will definitely not live up to his father's love. β
Xia Chun's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed.
"The test ceremony has begun, Chun'er, Qianqian, you will go with me to the Yuanwu Hall to watch the ceremony. King Wu, after you ask for something, come and watch the ceremony. β
Xia Wuhou got up and gave an order, and then walked out of the imperial hall, and Xia Chun and Qin Qianqian also followed closely.
Yuanwutang.
There are more onlookers today, and the overcrowded Yuanwutang is a little difficult to move even a small step.
They are looking forward to it, among the young people gathered in the square, there are children of their own families, if they can enter the Celestial Empire and get an official and a half-job, then they can have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
They are living in the present, and that's all they want.
The successive appearance of the Divine Vein Body, the Flawless and Innocent Body, was like a hurricane, not only sweeping the entire Celestial Empire, but also spreading the name of the entire Nether.
The names Xia Yuan and Qin Qianqian have become the targets of some sects.
If you can't get it, you can only destroy it.
"My king has arrived. β
The commotion of the crowd was quiet for a moment when Xia Wuhou arrived.
"Is that a flawless body!"
"What a beautiful girl. β
The girl beside Xia Wuhou immediately became the focus of the conversation between them, and after seeing Qin Qianqian's beauty, their eyes scattered down, but they didn't see Xia Yuan with a divine vein body.
This can only be a pity, the test ceremony is still going on, and they will refocus on the square, those teenagers waiting for the test.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
"Yuan'er, have you ever hated your father in your heart? β
King Beiwu raised his eyes, and there was a trace of nostalgia in the corner of his eyes, many years ago, it was a white robe, better than the snow of this winter.
"Whenever my mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes alone in the middle of the night, I hated him. Purple Moon Palace, the swing under the ancient tree has rusted, I can't hear the sound of my mother's piano, and I hate him too. β
Xia Yuan's hands tightly grasped the sides of the corners of his clothes, but his expression was unusually calm.
"Yuan'er, in fact, your father is just a poor man. A person who does not have the heart to fight for power and hegemony, but sits on the throne of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, for the sake of this Celestial Empire, your father abandoned a lot, but in the end he abandoned it along with himself. β
King Beiwu sighed, and the curvature at the corner of his mouth was a little bitter.
King Beiwu took Xia Yuan's hand, and his tiger eyes were also filled with a little divine light. "Yuan'er, if you can bring back that broken spear in the Nine Star Secret Realm, maybe your father won't go further and further on this road. β
In this world, everything is fate, and half of it is up to people.
"That spear is so important. β
Xia Yuan's eyes widened and said seriously.
"Yes, though I do not know its origin, your father knows its origin. With it, the burden on your father's shoulders will be much looser, so that he can look back and look at the past. β
King Beiwu stretched out his right hand and gently touched the hair that fell from the back of Xia Yuan's head.
"Good. β
Without saying much, Xia Yuan's gaze was extremely firm.
"By the way, before you were born, you and Xiaolan were married. I, your mother, your father, the three of us were in the Beiwu Palace, but we drank all day. β
King Beiwu laughed and got up, he took two small hands, and then held them tightly in his hands, the smile on his face was very gratifying.
"I am your fiancΓ©e, my name is Qin Lan. β
Qin Lan's cheeks were a little blushing, but his eyes looked at Xia Yuan's eyes bravely.
"I... I..."
Xia Yuan was speechless, and under Qin Lan's gaze, he lowered his head a little embarrassed.
Qin Lan's hand was a little cold to hold, and this touch made Xia Yuan's innermost part tremble, and he wanted to pull it away, but he was tightly held by the big hand of the Northern Martial King.
"I am your fiancΓ©e, my name is Qin Lan. β
Xia Yuan, who lowered his head, showed a hint of a smile on his lips, this girl in purple clothes, her eyebrows were like the moon, her eyes were like stars, and her skin was like mutton fat jade, but this character was a little bold.
"Mother, is this the wife you chose for me? β
Xia Yuan's face became ruddy, he raised his head, and looked at Qin Lan with a smile.
The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker.
He looked at her, a little shy.
She looked at him, very boldly.
"You two little guys, you really don't take me as an old fellow seriously. β
King Beiwu let go of his hands with a smile, but the hands that Xia Yuan and Qin Lan were holding each other were still in the air and did not let go.
"Yuan'er, do you know that you have a divine vein body, and you should have been cultivated by the Celestial Empire with all its might, why did your father always favor Xia Chun?
King Beiwu left a word, and then left the imperial palace with his hands on his back.
"Ruthless, spicy, and decisive in killing, you can be the emperor. And for the emperor, how can he let a tiger lie beside him. β
A fine light flashed in Xia Yuan and Qin Lan's eyes, and they blurted out in unison.
Xia Yuan saw that their hands were still clasped tightly, but Xia Yuan's cheeks were even more rosy.
There was no one around, and Qin Lan's hand grasped tighter, and her cheeks were as red as a ripe apple.
"Xia Yuan, what my father said is right, you are in the temple, no matter what, you must be careful to take precautions. β
Qin Lan walked over, wrapped her hands around Xia Yuan's arms, and said softly.
"What King Beiwu said, I don't know, even before testing the ceremony, I was already hated by the great prince. β
People and things are general, there are good and bad, and some can't be avoided at all. Xia Yuan shook his head, he hadn't thought about the throne of the Celestial Empire.
Xia Yuan just wants to live, break through the human ladder alive, wait for his mother to return, and find his grandfather.
Whoever stops Xia Yuan is an enemy.
If anyone wants to kill Xia Yuan, it is the enemy of life and death.
