Chapter 16: Whispers of the Forbidden Land

Behind a bamboo forest in the deepest part of the entire palace, there are several rows of low rooms, compared to the tall Tianyuan Hall and the Council Hall in front, it can be said that it is inconspicuous, it is this plain house, it is indeed the top secret forbidden place of the Long family for thousands of years, only the Holy Emperor can enter and exit alone, in the eyes of several princes, this place seems very mysterious, and once close to this place when playing and playing, the four old men in coarse cloth clothes who are strictly guarded here are strictly guarded. Politely brought to the Holy Emperor, and after a period of stern reprimand, he was locked up for ten days and half a month, and slowly no one asked for his own hardships, as if he had been forgotten.

Late at night, the already quiet palace group was even more lonely, suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from the Holy Emperor's bedroom, and after a while, a burly figure appeared under the faint palace lamp, walking calmly and vigorously, it was Long Ao. In between, Long Ao walked through the bamboo forest, stopped his majestic figure, clasped his fists to the left and right, and bowed, before stepping into the forbidden land and disappearing. There were no lights, it was dark and quiet, and there was nothing unusual about it. Only Long Ao knew that when he first came in, he vaguely felt that his gaze swept in an instant, fleeting. That is the master of guarding the forbidden land that has existed since the first emperor, and he is much older than himself in terms of age, even if the first emperor sees it, he has to salute like this!

In a hall, Long Ao walked to one side of the wall, knocked three times lightly, and after a while, behind a three-foot square stone table in the middle of the hall, the ground shook slightly, leaking a two-foot-wide dark hole, Long Ao jumped down without thinking, and in the sound of vibration, the hole closed, and everything returned to the original state.

I don't know how deep underground, at the end of the winding alleyway, the space suddenly opened up a lot, about four or five long and wide halls appeared in front of me, and there were several quaint small lamps evenly embedded in the walls around them, there was no fire on the lamp, but a few pearls the size of a thumb, and the faint light made the hall look hazy. There was nothing on the ground except a few tables and chairs, and on the opposite wall of the alleyway where Long Ao was standing, a small door covered everything behind it.

"Seniors, juniors come to say hello!" Long Ao's expression was respectful, the majesty of the Holy Emperor on weekdays had long since disappeared, and he had changed into a cautious demeanor.

"You're here......" A leisurely response came from the door, and after a while, the figure flashed, and there was already one more person in the underground palace, this person bowed slightly, wearing an old dragon robe, the style was the same as Long Ao's imperial robe, but I don't know how many years it had been worn, and even the gold threads inlaid on the clothes had been worn white. The face is covered by a trace of black veil, and he can't see his face clearly, his eyes are dull, and his medium body has no breath at all, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like an old man drinking tea on the street. It's just that Long Ao never dared to think like this, and he didn't think about it that way, because he knew that the highest state of cultivation was to return to the basics, as for this old man, whether it was the Ning Zhen Realm or the Jindan Realm, it was not something he had to consider, he knew that the old man in front of him definitely had an inexplicable relationship with the royal family of the Long family, and he only needed respect in front of him.

"Are your injuries stable?"

"Thanks to the 'Guling Pill' given by the seniors, the injuries of the juniors have not recurred in recent months. ”

"That's good, but I don't have a lot of elixirs in my hand to refine the solid elixir, I have to find a way to collect some more, in fact, the elixir you take has always lacked a main medicine, and it is not difficult to find the other flavors if you look for them carefully, only this' Que Feng Cao's is really nowhere to be found, but it has been mentioned in some ancient books, this medicinal property likes wind and sand, only the wild land of wind and sand can get this spirit grass, these months I have traveled to more desolate places, but also went to a few old friends, but unfortunately they all regretted returning, now only in the Phantom Desert Sand Sea, where the probability of appearing may be greater. ”

"What? Phantom Desert Sand Sea? No, no, no, it's a Jedi of living beings, no one has ever come out alive, it's not worth taking such a big risk for this. Long Ao was shocked, and hurriedly shook his head with a panicked expression. He had seen it in ancient books more than once, the Illusory Desert Sand Sea was one of the few fierce places in this continent, and he heard that many monks in the Ning True Realm had also fallen, and the danger was self-evident.

"Besides, isn't the current Guling Pill also able to suppress the injuries of the younger generation? Even if there is no cure, it is the will of heaven, not to mention that there are successors in my Long family, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Bastard, I'm not done yet!" the masked old man retorted.

"Although the Phantom Desert Sand Sea is fierce, according to the exploration and exploration of countless monks in the past thousand years, a trace of law has also been discovered, and some anomalies about the Phantom Desert Sand Sea are also mentioned in ancient books, and the two coincide. After careful calculation, this year is the time when the opportunity appears, and the power of the Phantom Desert Sand Sea is the weakest time, and if you are fully prepared, you should have six or seven points to retreat with confidence.

"What? Only six or seven points are sure of life!" Long Ao's face was very ugly, when the power of the Illusory Desert Sand Sea was the weakest, there was a thirty percent chance of losing his life!

"Why? Isn't this enough? Opportunities and risks always complement each other, if you can stick to the spiritual platform when you hit the Eightfold Thunder King and don't think nonsense, why bother me so much, I almost killed you if I lost a few wives and concubines. Otherwise, with your qualifications, you will have no problem living for one or two hundred years. Besides, the Solid Spirit Pill in my hand will support you for ten years at most, how can it be as long as twenty years that you said to those little cubs. If you don't make a plan at this time, when will you stay?" The masked old man turned his hands behind his back and admonished Long Ao again and again, poor Long Ao, the king of a great country on weekdays, is also like a child who has done something wrong at this time, only to promise to break out in a cold sweat! Indeed, if he had stabilized his state of mind at that time and not thought about his beloved wives who had been missing for many years, how could there be today's bitter fruits! Alas............

"What's more, thunder and lightning are pure yang things, and they have a full restraint effect on the like of ghosts and ghosts, and ordinary monks don't even have a fifty percent chance of survival when they enter. ”

"Do the seniors want to go on a trip by themselves?" Although his cultivation is quite passable, but he failed to rush through the pass and seriously injured himself, so naturally he can't go, and the juniors are not in the climate, although the Thunder King has nine layers, strictly speaking, it has to be divided into three sections, one is a period: the early, middle and late stages, only in the late stage can it be qualified as a means of saving life in foreign travels, the middle stage can only suppress the martial arts masters among mortals, and the later triple can save the life of the early stage of the Ning Zhen Realm. At present, the only one with the highest comprehension is the fifth who has only broken through the sixfold realm, but it is still far from the later stage.

"It's naturally impossible for me to go on a trip, because the monk world also has its own rules, but those little cubs will have a way in the future, have you thought about them for them?"

"The road ahead?" Long Ao was confused, and his expression was confused for a while.

"Yes, if they are confined to their homes like this, and are protected by the royal family everywhere, do you think they will be able to make great achievements in the future? If you want to go further in the future, understanding and aptitude are the foundation, tempering and creation, danger and chance, always complement each other. ”

"Could it be that the seniors want the fifth child to go to ............?" Long Ao's heart lit up and asked sensitively.

"He's not qualified enough. There was a hint of disdain in the masked old man's words.

"But among the juniors, only he recently stepped into the sixfold threshold of the Thunder King's Duel, and the rest are only the sixth and seventh ...... the fifth realm. ”

"Hehe, don't just look at the surface! In a few days, you bring me your third child, this little cub is very interesting!"

"What? Bring him to see you, but this rule ......" Long Ao was shocked, he knew that the Dragon Fang realm had just broken through by luck, and he had never asked him for the Thunder King's Fivefold Exercise. Moreover, the forbidden place here is only allowed to enter and exit by the Holy Emperor alone on major events or by summons, and there is no precedent for a third party to be seen.

"The rules are also set by people, that is the ancestor in order to avoid accidents, besides, do you think that the third child of your family does not have the talent of a king?"

"It's not, it's just that he is worthy of the five-fold realm, and he is really not enough to take on the big responsibility of this trip, if it is ............" Long Ao really didn't dare to think about it, in fact, he already had the idea of establishing Long Fang as the successor candidate in his heart, and the only deficiency was that his realm was too low, not enough to deter Xiaoxiao.

"It seems that you still don't know this kid, but when you bring him, I'll check it carefully, and then you'll understand. Go back, these are the three solid spirit pills I have refined, and I will keep you worry-free in three years!" the masked old man waved his hand impatiently, and a black light fell in front of Long Ao's eyes. Then he stepped into the alleyway and disappeared without a trace.

"Thank you seniors, juniors retire!" Long Ao was overjoyed, ignoring the doubts in his heart, turned around and strode away!
