Xu Changfeng and Liang Yi walked along the starlight path all the way, and gradually, the darkness dispersed, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

The first thing that appeared in front of the two of them was a huge sword stele, the stele was in the shape of a sword, about three zhang high, as if it was soaring into the sky, majestic, even if it was looked at from a distance, Xu Changfeng felt an indescribable coercion.

"Is this the Chang'an Sword Shrine?" he muttered in a low voice.

The sword monument in front of him, as if there was a powerful magnetic force, constantly attracted him.

The sword tablet was built on a high platform, and the high platform was nearly a zhang high from the ground. And when I looked up, it was pitch black above the sky, and it was obvious that this was underground. Beiqiufeng also said before that this Chang'an Sword Mound was built in the flood era, and it is normal to be underground.

But thousands of years ago, if you want to build such a magnificent sword monument under this dark earth, how powerful must you be?

"The ten of you are all cultivators who have passed the Sword Shrine assessment, so don't talk nonsense, let's get on the stage quickly. Fu Jianping stood on the high platform, looked at the ten cultivators present and whispered.

Xu Changfeng looked around, among the ten cultivators present, there were several faces that he was familiar with, however, there was not a single one......

"What about Liang Yi?" Xu Changfeng said in surprise, "Could it be that he failed the assessment?"

Just as the young man was thinking, Fu Jianping continued, "The top of the Xuandao list, Zhan Liuli, the second place, He Shouyi, the third place, Du Yuchen...... Xu Changfeng ranked ninth, the bottom of the list, Su idiot. ”

Zhan Liuli can get the top position, which is not surprising to anyone. Not to mention that she is already a fourth-order cultivator, in terms of her reputation as a disciple of Zhongli Xueyu, it is impossible for her to fall off the list, otherwise what face does she have in this river and lake?

For Xu Changfeng, he was not very satisfied with the ninth place, but after all, his cultivation time was much shorter than others, and now he was able to do this, also because of the ten years of light in his body, so he had some luck.

"I used the power of the Ten Year Lamp to pass the assessment, so in this way, the five major sects must know that there is a Ten Year Lamp in my body. It's just that why didn't that person take it secretly, but wanted to help me cover up this matter?" Xu Changfeng thought about it, but couldn't think of the ending.

Fu Jianping finished reading the name, stared at everyone, and said in a low voice, "This sword tablet is the only relic of the Chang'an Sword Shrine, and I guess I know the rules, so I don't need to say more." You immediately took the stage and carefully studied the inscription on the top for three days. ”

......

"The Spirit Messenger has arrived!"

This is a carriage of the prosperous dynasty, which was closely escorted by the Chang'an forbidden army and slowly drove into Chang'an City.

Don't look at this Spirit Clan envoy is very beautiful, but in fact, all of this is given to her by the dynasty. The carriage of the dynasty, the army of the dynasty, the subordinates of the dynasty. In the eyes of the world, she represents the noble image of the Spirit Clan, but in fact, he is just in the hands of the dynasty at any time

Ants that are easily crushed to death.

The carriage entered the city pass and stopped immediately.

"Spirit Clan envoy, General Shen Binglin asks to see you. At this moment, the subordinate knocked on the window and whispered.

The Spirit Clan envoy opened the curtain, and she showed half a small face with a mask, looking at the handsome man in golden armor in front of her, with a heroic and righteous spirit.

"The envoy of the spirit clan, the prince is busy with state affairs, and there is no time to meet with the envoy, and he also invites the envoy of the spirit clan to go to the bright moon building to live temporarily, and the prince will personally feast the envoy ten days later. Shen Binglin said in a low voice.

This is not a busy state business, but a note from the prince to this spirit envoy.

As Shang Shuzuocheng, who died in the court last night, said, too much time has passed, and the Spirit Clan may have forgotten the existence of the previous contract. Everything the Shengshi Dynasty has done now is to make the Spirit Clan understand that even if there is no contract, the Dynasty is still a dynasty, and the Spirit Clan is still a small country that can be leveled by an iron horse.

Of course, this is only the opinion of the Minister of Chinese and the common people. In the eyes of those high-level cultivators, there is a different kind of vision.

The Spirit Clan envoy didn't feel any dissatisfaction because of this, she just smiled and nodded lightly, "Then there is General Lao Shen Binglin." ”

Shen Binglin stared at the smile of the Spirit Clan's envoy, with a hint of incomprehensible weirdness in his smile. Maybe he is too sensitive, these days he has been mixed with Mo Zhifeng all day long, maybe he was really taken away by him.

On the first day, the envoy of the Spirit Clan lived in the bright moon building in Chang'an City, and the night passed, and nothing happened.

On the second day, the envoy of the spirit clan wandered alone in Chang'an City, attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an because of his strange dress, and returned to the bright moon building before sunset, and the night passed, and nothing happened.

On the third day, the queen lady feasted the envoy of the spirit clan in the palace, and the envoy got into the carriage at noon and entered the palace gate.

The Daming Palace is not as gorgeous and colorful as the gorgeous and handsome palaces of the previous dynasties, but it is a little more solemn and solemn inside and out. It's a symbol of all your strength, a symbol of your dynasty. The palace is big, but it's also boring.

The tall palace gates seem to be like an impregnable city gate. If this is compared to a huge cage, then in the cage, except for the master of the cage, the rest are slaves bound by fate.

Further on, there is the palace of the queen's mother.

The Spirit Clan envoy looked at the not-so-long palace and couldn't help but stop his steps.

It's not that she's tired, it's just that this palace is a little scary.

If it's a banquet, it's not like there's no palace maid, but it makes people feel like they're in the depths of hell.

The Spirit Clan envoy looked back, and the palace maids and eunuchs who escorted her here also stopped one after another outside the red brick, she stared at these palace maids and eunuchs with a puzzled look, not understanding what this meant.

"Please also ask the messenger to forgive your sins. A palace maid whispered

said, "Without the promise of the queen's mother, we are not allowed to step into this red brick." This is the private residence of the empress mother, and only the emperor ...... His Majesty and her court maids were allowed to enter. ”

When talking about His Majesty the Emperor again, the palace maid obviously hesitated a little.

The rules are such rules, but ten years have passed, and His Majesty the Emperor has never set foot in the queen's bedroom. If it is said that the queen's face is difficult to see, it is understandable. But today's queen Yang Yue is comparable to the three beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, so why is it only indecent?

However, they are just some lowly palace maids, and they have no right to ask about the affairs between those big people, and they don't dare to ask more. The most important thing in doing things in the palace is to be cautious and careful, so as to make a 10,000-year-old ship.

The Spirit Clan envoy nodded, and took a steady step towards the gorgeous palace in front of him.

As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she smelled the aroma of food. Obviously, this banquet is worthy of its name, but it is unknown whether there are other ideas under the banquet.

Although the Spirit Clan Emissary walked slowly, she was cautious everywhere, her mind tense, and she was always alert to her surroundings.

"Don't look at it, there is no one in this palace now. At this moment, a palace maid dressed in pink came out of the house, she quietly stared at the Spirit Clan envoy, and said softly.

"You're not human?" the Spirit Emissary asked without thinking.

The palace maid sneered slightly, "In this red wall, who can still be regarded as a human? It's just some devil-like beasts in human skin." ”

"So today's banquet has nothing to do with the queen's mother. The Spirit Clan envoy suddenly understood something and asked calmly.

The palace maid shook her head, "Today's banquet is indeed the meaning of the queen mother, but the queen mother suddenly has something important to deal with, so she asked me to accompany the envoy to enjoy this sumptuous banquet." ”

"Rich or not, it's not up to you to decide?" the Spirit Envoy blinked, although she was wearing a mask, she could still see from her face that there was a very strange expression hidden under this mask.

"If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. The maid whispered, "Come with me, I know what you're looking for." ”

The Spirit Clan envoy couldn't help frowning, what was this palace maid in front of him thinking?

The moment she walked into the house, the maid also happened to come out of the back room.

In her hand, she held a one-foot-long sword embryo.

"What about what Wei Qijian asked you to bring?" Hearing this, the Spirit Clan's envoy once again flashed with surprise in his eyes.

She never expected that this palace maid would be Ruan Shuiwei.

The Spirit Clan envoy took out a small wooden box and opened it gently, and inside was also a sword embryo. It's just that this sword embryo is dead, while the sword embryo in Ruan Shuiwei's hand is alive.

If the sword embryo is alive, it will one day be able to turn into a sharp sword.

The fall of a sword sect will become a sword mound.

Under the sword mound, buried are not only the souls of countless cultivators, but also the sword souls of countless spirit swords.

The sword that has lost its soul is the sword of death.

"So, the Queen Mother is trying to find a way to get her away?" the Spirit Clan envoy couldn't help but ask.

Ruan Shuiwei was expressionless, and said lightly, "In the palace, talking too much will cause trouble." After some time, when you meet the prince, you should know that there are some things that cannot be said easily. I've been locked up in this deep palace for too long, and those things in the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with me for a long time. ”

Ruan Shuiwei stepped forward and took the wooden box in the hand of the Spirit Clan envoy in one hand, and at the same time handed the sword embryo to her, "You have to hide it, whether Mo Xingxiao can continue to return to the peak of the seventh order depends on it." ”

"May I ask a question?" the Spirit Clan envoy asked in a low voice, putting away the sword embryo.

"You still don't have a long memory. Ruan Shuiwei shook her head, "I just finished talking about asking less things in the palace." ”

"You hate this palace?" the Spirit Emissary asked, ignoring her words.

"Yes. Ruan Shuiwei nodded.

"Why, then, are you willing to suffer so much here? Lingkong Sword Village, it shouldn't be difficult for a woman like you. The Spirit Messenger then asked.

Ruan Shuiwei smiled bitterly, "It seems that you know Lingkong Sword Village very well?"

The Spirit Messenger shook his head.

"I don't know who you are. Ruan Shuiwei said softly, "I don't care who you are, since the moment I stepped into the palace wall ten years ago, the Sky Sword Village has long had nothing to do with me. ”

A flash of worry flashed in the Spirit Clan's emissary's eyes.

"You don't have to panic. Ruan Shuiwei looked at her and said lightly, "If I really had the intention to harm you, you wouldn't be able to live until now." All I do is for myself......"

Ruan Shuiwei was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen snow?"
