Chapter 1: Awakening from a Big Dream
I opened my eyes.
It's pitch black all around. The air was not circulating, the space was cramped, not enough to turn over, and the ceiling was only two or three inches away from the tip of my nose. I raised my hand slightly and tapped on the ceiling. "Tuk, tuk", the heavy muffled sound of thick wooden planks.
In an instant, I understood that I was in a coffin.
I am a mage of the Hidden Empire. I practiced the Hanyu Divine Skill to the eighth layer, the last volume of the Hanyu Nine Sutras, although I have practiced according to the book, but the final level has never been passed, the last page of the scripture notes:
The cold jade magic skill, the success of nine turns, devours itself. At the beginning of the attack, he had to rush to the Franmu Desert within ten days, and buried himself in the hot sand, the heat of the foothills of the Franmu Mountains, and the scorching heat at night. Seven days later, he fell to the edge of the world. Immortal and non-living, three years later, the great achievement is a success, and it is a matter of knowing what it means to be reborn from the ashes.
The air was a little stagnant, and I gently brushed it out with my right hand. With a "boom", the coffin lid flew out wrapped in dirt and shattered into sawdust.
I sat up, a little shocked at my mana.
Three years of death made my whole body very stiff.
The cemetery was pitch black, and there were no lights, making the stars in the night sky exceptionally bright, flashing with a cool and friendly light. I took a deep breath. The fragrance of the earth mixed with the fragrance of the grass and trees sent straight into the nostrils, and the sound of cicadas chirping in the heather bushes. The glimmer of fireflies flickered.
With some difficulty, I stood up and stepped out of the tomb. The plank had been shattered, and with a wave of my right hand, a large crystal ice plate covered the coffin, and the gravel and soil were all restored.
The tombstones in the cemetery are not far apart. Sensational names are engraved on it, and now the owners of these names are lying here silently, accompanied by the bleak wind and cold moon.
I sighed and walked along the road.
If I hadn't been in a hurry to enter the WTO, I would have liked to stay in this quiet cemetery for a long time.
Soon, the lantern at the gate of the cemetery was already visible, and the old man guarding the cemetery was napping on a bamboo chair with his body bent.
I walked out quietly.
The Holy Envoy Cemetery is on the outskirts of Xiangyang Kyoto, I spread my hands, the ice wings fanned, my feet suddenly volleyed into the sky, straight into the sky, and flew towards the lights of Kyoto.
I'll have to find out why I didn't bleed and froze to death.
Empire, these three years, what has happened?
I fell into the memory:
Three years ago, I turned my hands into clouds and rain in the capital. At the age of only twenty-eight years old, I am already a holy envoy, and I am known for my beauty, I dare not boast of the fish and geese, and I am so-so and beautiful.
I strode into the mage hall angrily, several guards followed me, one of the guards stepped up to grab the chair that had moved the upper seat for me a little, I didn't say a word, sat down with a big smile, and said angrily, "What's the matter?"
It's not that I'm angry about this sudden emergency meeting.
How many years have passed, how old I am, and the association still unanimously asks to send these bodyguards to follow me every day. It's really inexplicable, I've been practicing spells for so many years, and I haven't even had a chance to do it, isn't it a joke. Just now in the martial arts training ground to see the guards catch the right fight is very fierce, I got off the field, they are all dead, before the hand touched, the person fell, I thought angrily, there are still these ghost shadows, I can't shake off, I'm angry······
The mages on the round table had already taken their places, and the hall was silent, and the head of the Void Light Dao coughed lightly, cleared his throat and handed over a letter: "Please take a look at the Holy Envoy." ”
Master Xuqing is middle-aged, dignified, but his complexion is sallow, and there are deep dark shadows under his eyes, which is obviously caused by excessive indulgence and lack of sleep. His status is second only to mine, his prestige is very high, he has climbed to this position step by step from a low-level mage, his personality is calm and cautious, and he is very different from me, a young man who has been killed halfway. Although it seems that the Xuanmen Qing cultivator should not be indulged in pleasure, he is serious and responsible, and I don't bother to ask him about his personal affairs.
I took it with a tiger face and endured my anger, and said lightly: "Thank you, Daoist." ”
I glanced at it hastily, then I was stunned and my eyes widened.
Why did the Demon Sect Leader Feng Jianqing ask me to go to a duel?
This letter is not like a letterhead, and the letterhead is not like a letterhead, and my name is written on a piece of paper, and I stare at the word "onion" as if it were not my name.
His words are plain and elegant, but there is an overbearing arrogance between the lines.
“······ If you need help, you may as well bring them all, and you will be alone in the next place, and you will never break your word and get fat······"
I knew that he provoked me, after all, I was young and vigorous, and I was used to being arrogant for so many years, and if I were to say in front of everyone in the mage hall that I wanted to take someone with me, I would never be able to swallow this breath.
But unless I have to, I won't act rashly, the leader of the Su Wenfeng Sect is young and promising, and the Demon Sect has been in a lot of power recently, but he is low-key, and I really can't figure out what the hell they are doing. As for the duel, even if they have a trick, it is a chance to find out their plots.
What's more, if you go alone, you can get rid of these debt-collecting rice buckets, and I secretly cursed the bodyguards.
And I am also very confident in my own spells, my eyes rolled, and I didn't know how many pros and cons were analyzed in my heart.
I habitually supported myself with one hand, my index finger lightly under the tip of my nose, as if I was confident, showing the appearance of a young man: "I'll go alone, you monitor the movements of the Demon Sect, if they have a large number of people mobilized, we can use this to find out where the Demon Domain is, and destroy the Demon Sect in one fell swoop while they are undefended." If not, it's fair for me to go to the appointment alone, what do you think?"
Several elder mages looked at each other, and said lightly: "The body of the holy envoy with golden branches and jade leaves and ten thousand gold, you can't show the courage of a moment, and compete for the strength of a thief of the lower nine ranks······
I was very impatient, I had a very careful plan, and these old fellows who believed in themselves to be old seemed to turn a deaf ear, and just talked to themselves. Everyone in the hall knew that although they obeyed me, especially the older ones, they were quite unimpressed with me, and shook their heads in their hearts, and I was only a momentary decoration, but I had to submit for a while.
"The matter of exterminating the Demon Sect, there is no need for the Holy Envoy to worry about it now, you are a grass thief and a thief, and I hope that the Holy Envoy will put your body first. ”
My willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and I snorted coldly: "The Taoist is wrong. I'm afraid you're just worried that I'm going to make a mistake, or if I'm sneaking away, so that I won't be able to pay the money when I pray for rain, right?"
I've never singled this out before, and people don't talk about it. No one spoke for a while, and in the hall, only the sound of people's breathing could be heard.
Now I don't want to be picky, you still want to care about me······
"So," I tapped lightly on the table, and the crunch sound of "click, click" sounded like a drum in everyone's hearts, "do you think I'm the one who escaped from the battle?"
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, although my voice was soft, but the cold eyes and resolute tone undoubtedly had the effect I wanted.
I laughed in my heart, of course I am, who would be stupid to sacrifice myself, you are really young and ignorant, hehehe······
"Do you have any objections?" I didn't show my face, and nodded at him with a serious face.
He was clearly distracted, silently squirming his lips and pinching his fingers to calculate something. When he heard his name, he was slightly startled, and came back to his senses: "No, no, but listen to the orders of the holy envoy." ”
"Then Zheng Hao will take someone to investigate the movements of the Demon Sect, and when I am not there, please ask the Void Light Daoist to sit in Kyoto," I breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed at the success of my plan, and tried my best to pretend to be calm and dispatched, "Disperse the meeting." ”
I didn't take the Wind Sect Master to heart at all, cut, how capable can he be, and can there be someone I can't deal with?
Just, why is he targeting me?
Doesn't he know that I'm just a sacrifice······
