At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sunny days are still there.

In the small valley, three figures disappeared into the stone wall.

Si Quan entered the mountain wall without blinking, and after entering, he saw clearly, it was just a narrow tunnel, leading to the deepest part without arc, and the orbs lined up on both sides illuminated the tunnel.

In front of me, every inch of the wall is exactly the same, and after walking out of a hundred meters, the stone wall behind me has disappeared while no one is paying attention, and the appearance of the mountain stone has been restored. At this time, Tianxue stretched out her hand and pressed against the smooth and immaculate stone wall on the side, and the stone wall opened a staircase passage with a clang.

"Isn't this redundant, is this place still afraid of someone breaking in?"

"Childe doesn't know something, the real goal plus a layer of cover-up has been a habit of Xuanji Building for thousands of years. If someone accidentally breaks in, even if they don't covet these orbs to trigger the mechanism, they will go on indefinitely. ”

"Isn't this tunnel straight?"

"I went around the secret realm, and the circle was too big to see the arc. ”

Si Quan was stunned, he had already experienced the size of the secret realm, and this circle was indeed big enough.

The two chatted, Tianxue had already stepped on the steps first, and there was still a closed tunnel under the steps, spiraling down. The three of them entered, and it was only a hundred meters, and the stone wall behind them was closed, and Tianxue pressed the wall again, revealing a space several meters wide.

Seeing Tianxue walk in, Si Quan hesitated and followed, and when he thought she was going to open some secret door again, the wall suddenly closed.

"Childe stand firmly"

As soon as the words fell, Si Quan suddenly felt that the entire space was rapidly declining. But I quickly got used to it. After a pillar of incense, the secret room finally stopped, and the stone wall opened again. In front of me, there is a stone road floating on the colorful lake, and the uneven water column in the lake sprays up, and the mist spreads.

"Beauty is beautiful, but it doesn't seem to have much practical value, right?"

"This is also left by the predecessors, there are a total of nine mysterious secret realms, and only Xunzhou is prepared for the succession of the landlord. In fact, from the beginning, the martial arts people entered the secret realm, just to witness the birth of the new Xuanji landlord, of course, they would never know who the landlord was. ”

"Isn't that a trick on the world?"

"I guess so. ”

Si Quan Dark Le, he was very happy after listening to Tianrou's answer, after all, everyone else was just running for himself.

"Si Quan, it's almost there, you come and go ahead. ”

"Aren't they all the same?"

"Childe, let's go ahead, this is the rule set by the elders of the past dynasties. ”

"Pavilion Elder?"

"The elders generally don't meddle in the affairs of the Xuanji Building, so they didn't tell the son. ”

"They are specially presiding over the ceremony for the succession of the landlord?"

"This is just one of them, the previous envoy, the old master of the five halls, and the ministers of the various ministers are eligible to become members of the cabinet, we call them cabinet elders. The people in the cabinet are all highly respected people in the Xuanji Building, and with them, the Xuanji Building is more stable and long-lasting. ”

"Wouldn't they have a lot of power?"

"No, they usually travel the world, or teach what they have learned in the preparatory school, and only get together when something important happens. ”

"Biseiin?"

"Well, on the entire continent, except for the Tianya Inn, the most common branch of the Xuanji Building is the Bisheng Academy. Their main use is to adopt homeless orphans on the mainland. Of course, it is also to cultivate fresh blood for the Xuanji Building, and most of the full-time staff of the Xuanji Building are from the Beisheng Academy. ”

Si Quan nodded secretly, knowing that the Beisheng Academy was the backbone of the Xuanji Building, and he didn't understand why the landlord didn't choose from these people, and his loyalty was much more reliable than that of outsiders like himself, after all, the Xuanji Building meant that it was their home.

"Xiaorou, you won't also come out of the Bisheng Academy, right?"

"Yes! The oracles were all selected by the Bisheng Academy. If you want to become an angel, you have to learn all kinds of secret techniques and various management structures of the Xuanji Building since you were a child, and then follow the previous envoy to deal with all kinds of things in the Xuanji Building and the rivers and lakes, and finally be selected by the owner of the building. ”

Seeing the growing smugness in Tianrou's eyes, Si Quan also knew the hardships involved, and quipped: "Then isn't Xiaorou able to take apprentices now?"

"This is also an honor for me and my sister, but according to the rules, you can't call them directly, son. It's all very cute children, I've already met my sister. ”

⋯⋯

The two chatted and finally reached their final destination. This is a vast festival square, and I don't know how many people are standing in the square. Si Quan was just about to step forward, and an old man with long hair and gray hair was already waiting aside.

"Pavilion Head"

The Tianrou sisters bowed, and the old man only nodded slightly, before he walked up to Si Quan and said, "Wasted pictures greet the landlord."

Si Quan saw the black mask and a set of black robes that the other party was holding in both hands, and took it with both hands as Tianrou said before. He knew that the people of Xuanji Lou below the minister level could not see his true face, not to mention that there were representatives of various forces present today.

The mask was put on his face, and Si Quan knew that it looked like it was made of iron, but it was so comfortable that it didn't matter.

"The succession ceremony of the forty-fourth generation of the owner of the Xuanji Building begins now. ”

Huang Tu shouted, and there was an immediate whining sound in the square, and the black crowd recited a spell that Si Quan couldn't understand, and there was a last single-plank bridge leading to the square, and Si Quan had just stepped on it, and a little cold bead fell on his face.

"The lonely road is long and searching, and the cold road is cold. ”

Si Quan ignored the prayers of the wilderness behind him, and continued to walk towards the center of the sea of people, and for a while, the solemn aura pressed him so much that he did not dare to move.

"There is a way for the road and there is a way for the people, and the truth is the only way for the people. ”

As soon as the head of the pavilion spoke, thousands of people whispered in unison. Si Quan was infected by the atmosphere, and walked for nearly two quarters of an hour with an awe-inspiring expression before reaching the highest place. Two rows of people stood on the long steps, and beside the altar, a line of old men parted in the middle to give up his place.

Si Quan walked to the very center, and the Tianrou sisters returned to him, and an old man handed Si Quan three pillars of incense, and Si Quan wanted to insert them into the altar according to the ceremony.

The "Chosen One" all the old people shouted together: "Are you willing to inherit the legacy of the ancestors of the Xuanji Building, maintain the security of the Xuanji Building for the rest of your life, and serve as the forty-fourth generation of the owner of the Xuanji Building?"

"Do you need to ask?"

"Answer whether you want to or not"

"I do"

"Very good, now show the token for verification. ”

The head of the pavilion held up the token and said: "Today, 100,000 people witness, I declare that the Chosen One will succeed to the position of the forty-fourth generation of Xuanji Mansion Master, now, worship the ancestors." ”

Si Quan stepped forward and inserted the incense steadily, and the audience sang the words he didn't understand. Turning to look at the higher seat, Si Quan walked slowly, followed by a group of pavilion elders behind him.

Sitting on a high seat, Si Quan simply had a feeling of dominating the world, his eyes swept across the sea of people, and suddenly he saw someone, his heart was shocked at the moment, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back, and he was very serious about completing the next red tape, and he was looking forward to ending it early to see her.

⋯⋯

After two hours in a row, the ceremony finally ended, Si Quan found a dark place to take off the cover, and when he ran to the crowd, she was already gone.

Si Quan paused in disappointment, turned around to find Tianrou following him, staring thoughtfully in the same direction.

"Xiao Rou also saw an acquaintance?"

"Well, I remember the first time I met my son, Xiaorou was chased and killed by him halfway. ”

Si Quan's heart jumped, the acquaintance Xiao Rou said must not be the same as himself. suddenly realized that his chance encounter with Tianrou was just an inevitability arranged by her. For a while, I had a lot of thoughts, and I didn't know what to say.
