Chapter 52: Three Years (I)
Fire Country, the capital
This is a huge ancient city, covering a vast area, surviving for a long time, from ancient times to the present, it has been baptized by the years and has always stood still.
The streets of the ancient city are full of people, the pedestrians are endless, very prosperous, the population does not know how many thousands, it is very lively, walking on the main street, the pedestrians rub shoulders.
In the eastern area of the ancient city, there is an ancient tree that towers into the sky, which is extremely huge.
It is fiery red all over, steaming red glow, both branches and leaves are red, and the canopy is like a big umbrella, it stands tall in the city, very conspicuous.
The diameter of the main trunk is more than ten zhang, and the old skin is open one after another, which looks very ancient, and the huge canopy covers a large area.
This tree is taller than a mountain, and an ordinary city would not be able to accommodate it, but the Fire Emperor is vast enough to hold all kinds of mountains, so it is not affected by it.
Buzz –
A slight fluctuation was heard, and ripples suddenly rippled in the sky above the capital of the Fire Country, and then a void beast skin escaped from the void, and two figures stood on it.
"There's something wrong with this tree. Standing on the Void Beast Skin, Gu Xuan spoke.
The Fire Emperor next to him was slightly moved, this is a fire god tree, one of the fire country sacrifice spirits in ancient times, but the divine fire has long been extinguished.
It is rumored that this Vulcan tree is not dead, but in Nirvana.
The little red bird fluttered its wings and landed on Gu Xuan's shoulder, saying, "You also feel the rich life force in this divine tree?"
For this sacred tree, it naturally knows. The sacred tree contains a strong vitality, but only the Suzaku clan can feel it, not even the Fire Nation royal family.
Gu Xuan glanced at the little red bird on his shoulder, who didn't recognize it at all, and said with a serious expression: "No, under this tree, there is a strange portal, and the aura inside is very weird, and it seems that there is a divine fall in it." ”
When the Fire Emperor heard this, he remembered some words recorded in the forbidden ancient books of the royal family, and his expression was extremely solemn.
"If you can, move the capital. The portal under the sacred tree is very unusual, and this land may be reduced to robbery. Gu Xuan opened his mouth and said, his gaze falling on the Fire Emperor.
Naturally, these were not seen by him, but learned from the system. Under this sacred tree, there is an ambush in this murder that has been laid out since ancient times.
The Fire Emperor bowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then the Void Skin flashed again, appearing outside the palace.
Many guards and servants saw that the Fire Emperor hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
With a wave of his hand, the Fire Emperor motioned for everyone to get up, and then led Gu Xuan into the palace.
After taking a turn in the palace, the Fire Emperor took Gu Xuan into a garden with a quiet atmosphere.
This garden is planted with a variety of rare elixirs, and the rich essence turns into a faint mist and circulates in the garden.
"Gu Zu, this will be your palace from now on, and no one will come in without your permission. The Fire Emperor spoke, his mood was a little heavy at this time, about the Fire God Tree.
Gu Xuan shook his head, saw the Fire Emperor's thoughts, and said, "As the Human Emperor, you don't have to pester me, an old man, when you are entangled in official affairs." ”
The Fire Emperor confessed, and hurriedly left, hurrying away.
Soon, the edict of the Emperor of the People came out of the palace, and all the princes were summoned to the palace. Such a battle makes one wonder if something big has happened.
......
"Old man, what are you cultivating now?"
On Gu Xuan's shoulder, the little red bird couldn't help but say.
Gu Xuan was dumbfounded, and said in a slight mutter: "I said that even if the gods came, they might not be able to beat me." ”
When the little red bird heard this, it glanced at Gu Xuan with disdain, and in its opinion, Gu Xuan was bragging again.
"As a national sacrifice spirit, you can go to this palace, go around yourself, I still have something to do. Gu Xuan said.
Hearing this, the little red bird nodded, no longer following Gu Xuan, flapping his wings and leaving.
After the little red bird left, Gu Xuan walked out of the garden, and there were two old servants standing respectfully on both sides at the door, their cultivation was very high, and they also walked very deep in the princely realm. After seeing Gu Xuan come out, he hurriedly saluted.
This is the servant arranged by the Fire Emperor to serve Gu Xuan's daily life. They had a rough guess about Gu Xuan's identity and knew something. His expression was very respectful and humble.
"Take me to the temple to have a look. Gu Xuan said.
The temple is the important place where the royal family stores scriptures and treasures, and even the royal family is not allowed to approach at will.
The two old servants didn't dare to slack off, and took Gu Xuan in one direction in the palace.
The Fire Kingdom Palace is very large, larger than the Qin Kingdom Palace in the main world, and it is very easy for ordinary people to get lost when they walk in, because some areas are equivalent to small worlds, there are ancient formations, and if you take a wrong step, you will be trapped.
At this time, Gu Xuan stepped into a sparse land of grass and trees, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance, and the land in front of him was red, and the gravel was everywhere, like a Gobi.
Fortunately, after walking for a distance, I finally arrived at my destination, there is an ancient temple here, flowing in the morning glow, sacred and peaceful.
This is the most important place of the royal family, the temple where the treasures of the town are stored.
If it is subdivided, it can be divided into the scripture building and the treasure hall, the whole is an ancient temple, solemn and solemn. Under the sun, those tiles flow brightly, although there is a simple vicissitudes of life, but also show royal majesty.
This ancient temple has carried a lot, since ancient times, all the secret books of the royal family are stored here, which is the foundation of the country's road.
The four fields of the temple are silent, very empty, there is only an old pine tree in front of the temple, which is very vigorous, like a coiled dragon. The old man sat cross-legged under the tree, without breath leaking, like a mortal.
"Lord, when we are here, we will not be able to enter any more. ”
The two old servants bowed and saluted Gu Xuan.
"No problem. Gu Xuan waved his hand and said.
Then Gu Xuan walked towards this ancient temple, and the old man under the old pine tree felt that someone was approaching, and opened his eyes, and there were two divine fires rising in his eyes, which were extraordinary.
"Can there be a token of the emperor?"
The old man spoke, looking at Gu Xuan who was approaching. As a royal venerable, he has been sitting in the temple for a long time, and many royal descendants don't know him, let alone Gu Xuan, who just came to the palace.
Gu Xuan flipped over his hand and took out a token, which was given to him by the Fire Emperor before, and holding the token was like the Human Emperor coming in person.
"Little guy, how many generations are you in the clan?" Gu Xuan said, a wisp of breath was released, and a divine glow appeared all around him, turning into a phantom of an ancient vermilion bird, looming.
The old man looked at the Human Emperor Token in Gu Xuan's hand, his expression was slightly moved, this token would hardly be given to others by the Human Emperor. After feeling Gu Xuan's breath again, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"I don't know which senior is out of the customs?" the old man said in a low voice.
Gu Xuan smiled, put away the token, his aura was restrained, and he said: "I am an old guy from a thousand years ago, I am lucky to be nirvana, come to the temple to take a look at the treasure scriptures collected by the clan over the years." ”
When the Venerable Man who guarded the temple heard this, his expression became respectful. The old-timer thousands of years ago, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited Gu Xuan into the temple.
