The sky gradually darkened, and the light of the stars and moon reflected on the Xuanwu River through the sky, reflecting a band of light, as if there was a Milky Way meandering away in the darkness, as for the sky.

On the riverside, a little red light is like a firefly, flickering and uncertain.

The red light was holding in Zhang Fan's hand, and it was from a delicate red jade invitation.

There is no mystery on this invitation, but a few ancient characters, for: "Sincerely invite the Eastern Emperor, come to the celebration of the little girl's exit from the pavilion, Qingqiu Fox King, worship!"

It's extremely simple, there is no elegance to play, not even a specific date, and there is no name and surname of both parties, which is like child's play.

If such an invitation came from the hands of ordinary people, it would definitely be treated as a mad demon or a prank, but now it was sent out by the Qingqiu Fox King, one of the ten demon kings of ancient times, not to mention that it was sent by the hand of the Xuanwu King, it was definitely not a joke.

In this regard, Zhang Fan just smiled, as if there was no specific date and place on it, as if he had expected it.

And so it was. ”

Zhang Fan casually put away the red jade invitation, looked up and looked up at the Xuanwu River in the sky, shrinking into a slender waterline in the sky.

Gradually, he seemed to be standing not on the bank of the Xuanwu River in the Immortal Realm, but beside the great river in the Central Immortal Realm.

Two rivers, two roads, seem to coincide at this moment.

At this time, Zhang Fan already knew it in his heart. In fact, those demon kings didn't come to look for him on purpose, and it was impossible to do it.

Heaven and earth are so vast that no one can probe them with their divine sense without being noticed by them, and the vastness of the universe is so vast that no one can determine their actions by the number of heavenly machines!

Those demon kings are just guarding the way to heaven, that's all.

As early as Zhang Fan left the Peacock Minglun King, he was inexplicably guided and walked on a fixed path without knowing it.

This kind of power, unless the first demon emperor returns to the world, should not be owned by any great supernatural power, it can only be the fragment of the immortal realm, the central immortal realm, naturally leading.

"Interesting!"

Zhang Fan smiled and stepped out, where he went, did not change the original route, as if he had never realized and did not suddenly appear.

"No matter how you guide you, the final decision will be made by me after all. ”

"What is important on what road to walk on, as long as you are on the fork in the road, you know how to choose and choose, then any road is the road to heaven. ”

"Whew~"

The wind suddenly rose, blowing dark clouds to cover the stars and moon, and when the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, the stars and the moon were the same, and there were no people on the banks of the Xuanwu River, and Zhang Fan's back disappeared into the night.

...... In the land of the immortal realm, there are many countries, all of which are left by the predecessors of the immortal cultivators of the Immortal Emperor Dao, and most of the ones that can continue to this day are protected by demon kings or human immortals.

Far away from the Nine Border Country, a giant city is prosperous, and it is Yanjing, a country in the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Zhang Fanxing went, walking with the flow of people on the neat bluestone road in Yanjing.

Along the way, there were many similar kingdoms Yanjing had seen, and he had long since lost his earlier curiosity, and he didn't bother to inquire about who the demon king and which immortal sheltered the kingdom here, just simply enjoying the noise of the red dust and fireworks.

Today's Yanjing is different from the past.

Yanjing is the core of a country, the peak of humanity, and it is where the population is large.

Walking on the street, you can see small people running around everywhere, reading people walking in twos and threes, and in the teahouse and restaurant, it is even more crowded, and the discussion is very happy.

Zhang Fan paid attention for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

These people are discussing the situation of this year's imperial examination in this country, which is also a coincidence, when Zhang Fan came, he said that it was the time when the imperial examination was released.

Life is proud, no more than the title of the gold list, the cave room spends candle nights, often the former gets, the latter is not far away, fame and wealth are also open to the future, so that those scholars and their families who have been studying hard for ten years in the cold window, how can they not be excited by it?

Zhang Fan had only heard of such matters in his distant past life, and in this life, there was no such scene in the world.

The so-called title of the gold list, with flowers and flowers, is completely unattractive to Zhang Fan, but it is okay to take a look at it as a lively one.

In the expectation of millions of people in Yanjing, time moved little by little, and finally arrived in the afternoon.

"Wow~", a place in the distance suddenly began to boil, like a human voice and weird, invisibly spreading wildly.

Suddenly, the crowd was like rolling waves, rubbing shoulders one after another, hugging each other, and walking towards the source of the noise.

"The list has been released, and the time should be calculated. ”

"Let's take a look, I wonder if I can get it in this issue?"

"Go together~"

"May so-and-so bless my son, husband and ......"

...... Similar words rang out everywhere in the crowd, and worries and expectations became a rich atmosphere that enveloped everyone in it and moved forward step by step.

With the flow of people, Zhang Fan is also the focus of the urgency of millions of people.

The door of the vermilion palace was open, and there were guards and eunuchs, who came out one after another, singing and drinking names in their mouths, and one by one the names were put on the gold list.

Every time a name is sung, there are people who are ecstatic, even crazy and fainting, and every name that is sung, there is a deeper disappointment and expectation spreading through the crowd.

Whether they want to or not, whether they are willing or unwilling, after a while, dozens of people are on the list, and the number of scholars who are 100 times more than 1000 times this is sad, and they staggered away, and they don't know how many of them are looking forward to the coming year, and how many of them have given up hope and found another way? How many people have forced a smile on their faces, and their hearts are full of jealousy and hatred? All beings have appearances, and this is vividly reflected in these readers.

The list has just been released, and the new science and technology scholars have just been decided, and before the crowd has dispersed, there are thousands of small people, surrounded by rich and noble masters, all of whom are decent people in the city.

"Rob the son-in-law!

In the crowd, idlers, ruffians, and boring people coaxed one after another, and they had been waiting for this scene for a long time. Whenever the new science and technology is advanced and the gold list is inscribed, it is a good time for these Yanjing bigwigs to grab their sons-in-law.

Dozens of new science and technology scholars were either prepared, or caught off guard, or willing, or shocked...... In these rich and noble families, behind the little helpers, they followed closely behind with the dumplings, obviously wanting to wait for their family to grab the good son-in-law, so they loaded it and carried it home, and when they found the auspicious thing, they did it.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan was stunned at first, and then he was stunned, such a scene was occasionally seen in his previous life when he read the notes and sketches of his predecessors, and he never thought that after hundreds of years, he could actually see it in this immortal world.

Shaking his head, Zhang Fan had seen enough of the excitement, and when he was about to leave, his heart suddenly moved, as if he had noticed something, and suddenly turned his head to look in a direction.

There, the crowd, which had been like a wall, suddenly made an uproar, the front row fell and the back row trampled past, and hundreds of small people rushed up and pounced on the field.

These little guys in Tsing Yi beat short fights, or held sticks, or carried soft sedan chairs on their shoulders, and pounced on them without hesitation.

Immediately, the muffled sound of sticks and bodies, the sound of whining and pain, and the obscene scolding continued, and they were replaced by the screams of killing pigs...... There was chaos in the field, and dozens of new science and technology scholars were confused and stood in place.

In just a moment, the dust has settled, and those little guys and rich people from earlier are all lying on the ground wailing, and hundreds of little guys in Tsing Yi are victorious.

They didn't start hard, and they didn't think much of themselves after beating down their competitors, and they swarmed up, stuffed the stunned Xinke Jinshi into their own sedan chair, and immediately walked like flying, and opened the way with sticks, and went through the street in the blink of an eye, leaving the underground howling, and the onlookers looked at each other.

"All the new science and technology scholars have been robbed. ”

"Who is so ugly to eat, not even a little scraps left, the old man will not rest with him......"

A similar curse rose to the sky, almost overturning the great Yanjing directly. At this time, those young men in Tsing Yi and the new science and technology jinshi have long since disappeared.

As early as when those little guys in Tsing Yi appeared, a smile appeared on Zhang Fan's face, and at this time, he shook his head and smiled, stepped out, and walked through the crowd, the dense crowd seemed to not exist, and did not stop him for a moment.

Looking at the direction in which it went, it was the route where those young men in Tsing Yi carried the sedan chair and ran away.

Out of the capital, thousands of miles away, the road is gradually less populated, and the cooking smoke is difficult to find; to the wilderness, to the wilderness, gradually moving away and speedy.

Later, when a group of young men in Tsing Yi ran, they did not land on the ground, but as if there was an invisible staircase in the void, they carried a sedan chair and ran away in the air.

The sky was getting dark, and it was said that it had sunk in the west, and those little men in Tsing Yi ran wildly until the moon poked their heads out of the eastern sky in the clouds, and then fell from the sky.

All the way to the end, there is a dark forest, a ghost fire longing, vaguely there seems to be a secluded grave everywhere, gloomy and desolate.

With a "bang", it was uniform, dozens of sedan chairs fell to the ground, the curtains rolled themselves, and screams suddenly came out of the sedan chairs, like frightened wild donkeys.

It's not that they hadn't shouted before, but from the slightly hoarse voice, it is not difficult to know that they must have called all the way, but they were blocked by the curtain of the sedan chair and never came out.

The screams just burst out, and they immediately converged, as if they were choked one by one, followed by the sound of Qi Qi gasping for air.

What appeared in front of them was not the imaginary wilderness, let alone the fearful bandit village, but an elegant mansion, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, candlelight like day, singing and dancing...... Such a beautiful scene could not be stopped even by the darkness, as if there was a bright light, reflecting everything into the eyes of the new science and technology scholars.

This scene should not appear in the wilderness, but when it is the richest family in Yanjing, feasting guests and friends, and marrying a beloved daughter.

When the new science and technology scholars were dumbfounded, those young men in Tsing Yi no longer paid attention to them, knelt on the ground together, and shouted in unison towards the villa house:

"Sir, the slave and maid have welcomed the guests. ”

The sound still echoed freely, the door of the mansion was opened, a velvet carpet was spread, and two rows of maids were holding gorgeous clothes, or holding crowns, or raising shoes and boots, or offering clean water...... Discrete on both sides.

Obviously, these maids are the ones who serve the "good guests" to enter the door, and if they go all the way, they must be completely new, and they will be the best sons of the world.

Such a rich scene, even those who were born in the new science and technology scholars couldn't help but be amazed, and couldn't believe that they would appear in this deep mountain and old forest.

"Interesting, interesting!"

Not far away, Zhang Fan, who was standing on the sidelines and watching all this coldly, suddenly shook his head and smiled.

Since the mansion appeared, the little maid shouted, the maidservant came out, and when the scene appeared, the smile on his face never disappeared, and at this time, he said with a smile: "Pity these stupid scholars, they are really a good illusion!"

"Did you say so?"

The first sentence seems to be talking to oneself, and the second sentence is like speaking to someone.

Zhang Fan paused and spit out a name: "Qingqiu Fox King!"

"Hahaha~ A little trick that stained the eyes of the Eastern Emperor, it was really the old man's sin. ”

A chuckle suddenly came from not far behind Zhang Fan's side, and the sound entered his ears, and the darkness squirmed like life, revealing a clear and elegant old man in Tsing Yi.

This old man in Tsing Yi has handsome facial features, elegant temperament, and is covered in a long shirt in Tsing Yi, like an elegant old man, living in the mountains and forests, and is elegant.

- Qingqiu Fox King!

This person is one of the top ten demon kings of ancient times, the king of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and the Qingqiu Fox King.

"The fox king's methods, Zhang is also impressed, but he ......" Zhang Fan glanced at those new science and technology scholars, shook his head, and said: "Zhang just didn't expect that the fox king's so-called marriage to a daughter would be such a marriage." ”

Where is this marrying a daughter? It is clearly a robbery of relatives! Moreover, it is a brazen robbery, a reckless robbery, and a robbery that is known to everyone. From this point of view, this old fox really has the essence of the word "demon king".

"This ......"

The face of the Qingqiu Fox King stiffened, as if he remembered some unbearable past, his face twitched, and his elegance suddenly disappeared.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Donghuang, do you know that the old man has a woman in his life?"

Then, without waiting for Zhang Fan to react, he said bitterly: "There are eight hundred and eighty-eight ......."

"Uh......"

Zhang Fan was speechless for a while, thinking of his baby daughter, just one is quite embarrassing, there are eight hundred and eighty-eight women, what kind of concept is that, he can't imagine.

"As a father, I think that my daughter has a good home, if the old man of the Eastern Emperor can't beat you, and the little girl is bullied and the old man can't get ahead, then it will naturally not work. ”

"I don't want to ...... you become a me" Zhang Fan secretly slandered, but did not interrupt the words of the Qingqiu Fox King, and quietly listened to the complaints of this generation of demon kings.

"As for the unlucky, the old man can't look down on it, and those little foxes at home are arrogant, let alone mentioned. ”

"I can get by a little, but I don't want to marry the old man's daughter, I am afraid that the two husbands and wives will have a conflict, and I can't stand the old man's strength. ”

"This delay will be delayed, the old man has suffered a big crime at home, a group of little foxes have been talking about Sichun all day, if it weren't for the old man watching closely, I'm afraid I would be able to get a bunch of waste snacks to the house as a baby!"

Speaking of this, the Qingqiu Fox King had a sad face, looking unbearable, and sighed for a long time before he sighed, and then said: "Come and think about it, it's better to find a talented man from a mortal family, get home and marry first, and the old man will be trained well, so don't worry about not having a good son-in-law." "In the past tens of thousands of years, the old man has used this method to marry more than 800 girls, and today this is a little one, hahaha~~"

Looking at the appearance of the Qingqiu Fox King who had escaped from great difficulty, Zhang Fan shook his head, not knowing what to say.

"The East Emperor waits, the old man goes to welcome the guests......"

After the Qingqiu Fox King vented his frustration, halfway through his words, he was just about to give up, and his movements suddenly froze.

Immediately, Zhang Fan and the Qingqiu Fox King, one person and one demon, their expressions changed, and they looked back at the welcoming mansion.

There, black flames rose into the sky, and the sound of phoenixes tore through the sky.

"Secretly called the fire phoenix!"

An exclamation, blurted out!
