Chapter 25: The Strange Man
Just as Hong Jun was wandering outside the world, the group passed through the stone pillar square and stood in front of a three-zhang high stone gate.
Behind the stone gate is a huge palace, the whole palace is carved out of the mountain, tall and magnificent, there are two rows of stone pillars on both sides of the aisle in the middle of the main hall, but Hong Jun only glanced at it and knew that these two rows of stone pillars are only for decoration, and the stone pillars on the square are only similar in appearance, and the essence is completely different.
Beneath each pillar stood a temple warrior, like a statue, which silenced the palace in silence.
On the inside of the main hall, there is a stone platform, on which a throne carved entirely out of stone stands, tall and simple, with an ancient style, and four temple warriors stand under the stage, protecting the throne representing the king of the mountain.
As soon as Ember and the others approached the entrance of the main hall, a temple guard came out of the passage behind the throne and shouted, "You guys are waiting outside. ”
Shao Yanbu and his party were waiting outside the palace, but Hong Jun's eyes kept scanning back and forth on the stone pillars in the square, trying to see some doorways from these stone pillars. However, his understanding of this world is very limited, and after observing it for a long time, he still has no clue.
Hong Jun turned his attention to the inside of the palace, where the walls of the palace were carved with large murals, most of which were describing the story of a giant who was burning with flames and killing all kinds of fierce birds and beasts, and the other small part was painted with the heroic deeds of the kings of the Lieshan Dynasty.
"This is the god of heaven?" Hong Jun thought while looking at it, and then shook his head secretly: "It's a pity that this carving technique is too poor, and I can't see any valuable information at all, and the level of craftsmanship is far from the stone pillars on the square." ”
After waiting for nearly two hours, the sun was in the west, and the king still did not send anyone to meet him, and the face of the burning mountain ember showed a look of disappointment, but there was nothing to be done. However, he didn't have much hope, how could the chief of a small tribe meet the king of the Burning Mountain so easily, and he came here today just to try his luck.
Looking up at the sun, Ember decided to wait for the sun to set before leaving.
Hong Jun didn't have any good advice, and was about to explain his father a few words, but saw a figure come out of the palace. He just glanced at it, and couldn't take his eyes off it.
It's a Terran!
And it is a pure human race, similar to the pure human race like my mother and uncle, the other party's appearance looks like a middle-aged man, tall and tall, wearing a simple cyan robe, black hair knotted into a bun and fixed with a wooden hairpin, handsome face, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, very chic and uninhibited.
With his hands behind his back, the man walked slowly between the two rows of temple warriors, his face unhappy or sad, and he was content. Strangely, none of the temple warriors reacted at all, neither saluting, nor stopping, or even moving their eyes, as if no one had walked by in front of them.
Such a strange scene naturally surprised Hong Jun, he turned his head to look at his father and the others, and found that his father and several guards did not react at all, this middle-aged man was invisible to them, and he couldn't see it at all!
"Only I can see him?"
Hong Jun's eyes were firmly fixed on the middle-aged man, and under close observation, he found that this person's skin was like white jade, like a woman, and he didn't look like a powerful person, at least compared to the Lieshan clan in appearance, he was like a chicken and an eagle, and any warrior could knock him down with one punch, but Hong Jun's heart suddenly became inexplicably alert, his hair stood on end, and there were large pimples on his skin. His current perception is far less acute than in his previous life, but he also vaguely senses that a terrifying energy is approaching him, and according to the direction of the light brain, this huge energy is condensed into a very small mass hidden in the middle-aged man's body.
"With the energy level of this human race, I'm afraid that the warriors of the entire Shaoyan Department together are not his unanimous enemies, and even the Blue Blade Lizard is far inferior. Hong Jun was shocked in his heart, there was such a powerful individual in this world.
Thinking of the strange situation that no one else could see the middle-aged man, Hong Jun immediately pretended not to see the middle-aged man, his eyes drifted away, and at the same time controlled his breathing and heartbeat rhythm, trying not to show a trace of flaws.
Soon, the middle-aged man walked out of the main hall, and when he passed in front of Hong Jun, he suddenly turned his head and nodded slightly at Hong Jun, but he didn't stop at his feet.
Hong Jun stood on the spot.
It wasn't until the middle-aged man walked down the steps through the square and his figure disappeared from sight that Hong Jun came back to his senses.
"Who the hell is he?" Hong Jun was confused for a moment, a human race appeared in the Lieshan Temple, and in such a strange way, he really couldn't help but be shocked.
Recalling that in the middle-aged man's glance at himself, Hong Jun found that the other party's age was definitely not as young as it looked in appearance, this kind of look was very similar to his previous life, and it was a deep feeling that would only be formed after living for hundreds of years or even longer.
Looking at the temple warriors and his father and the others who had not reacted from beginning to end, Hong Jun fell into deep thought, why can't others see it, only he can see it, is this the other party doing it on purpose or because of his half-human identity? What Hong Jun wants to know most is, how does that middle-aged man's seemingly ordinary human body store huge amounts of energy? Is it some kind of special cultivation method?
Until dark, Hong Jun couldn't think of a reason, the middle-aged man never appeared again, and the king did not send anyone to see Shaoyanbu and his party.
Back at the inn, Hong Jun was still thinking about the middle-aged man, and he couldn't sleep for a long time that night, and he was stunned.
In the next few days, Hong Jun wandered around the city, just to try his luck, but unfortunately he walked through most areas of Lieshan City and did not see the middle-aged man. It is said that the appearance of a human race in Lieshan City is a very conspicuous thing, for example, he himself has not been noticed by many people, but Hong Jun asked many clansmen, and the answer he got made him very disappointed.
On this day, Hong Jun gave up the search and practiced the burning dance in his room. The cultivation effect at the foot of the Burning Mountain was much better than in the Shaoyan Division, and he didn't want to waste his time in vain.
"Hong Jun, you come with me. Father Lieshan Ember suddenly came in from outside, with a happy face.
Hong Jun stopped, thinking that his father had been running around most of the time for the affairs of the Shaoyan Department in the past few days, but the progress didn't seem to be very good, until today he went out to meet Lieshan Rong, looking at his current appearance, it is not as simple as just seeing an old friend who has been reunited for many years, is it that things have an eyebrow?
"Where to go?" Hong Jun asked.
"Haodian Department. Lieshan Ember looked a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Let's talk while walking on the road." ”
"Good. ”
Hong Jun rode his Kui Cloud Leopard and followed his father, and along the way, Lieshan Ember told the story as briefly as possible. It turned out that he went to see Lieshan Rong today, and the two of them had a meal of wine and meat, and the relationship became much closer, and Lieshan Ember couldn't help but tell Lieshan Rong about the current situation of the Shaoyan Department for a while, hoping that he could help.
However, the current situation of Lieshan Rong is not good, to be precise, the situation of the entire Haodian Department is very bad.
In recent years, the competition between the five major tribes of Lieshan has become more and more fierce, among which the Fire Wind Department and the Red Bear Department have been allied for many years, advancing and retreating together, and the Dating Department is headed by the Youshan Department where the king is located, only the Haodian Department is isolated, and the two factions faintly have the intention of joining forces to kick the Haodian Department out of Lieshan City.
For more than ten years, the four major tribes have carried out a series of blows on the Haodian Department, especially the Heavenly God Ceremony once every ten years, and the Haodian Department has twice in a row in the Heavenly God Ceremony No clansmen have obtained supernatural powers, which has made the talents of the Haodian Department wither, and it seems that it will not be able to hold on in a few years.
If there is no turnaround, when the middle-aged warriors grow old, the next generation of the Haodian Department will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in Lieshan City, and sooner or later they will lose the qualifications of the five major tribes and be replaced by new tribes.
When Hong Jun heard this, he knew what Lieshan Ember thought.
"Father, do you want me to help the people of the Haodian Department at the Heavenly God Ceremony?" Hong Jun asked out loud as he slowed down the speed of the Kuiyun Leopard.
Blazing Mountain Ember was surprised: "How do you know?"
It's not hard to guess. Hong Jun shook his head, when he heard Lieshan Liao introduce the Heavenly God Ceremony, he heard that all the young warriors who participated in the ceremony would fight a hundred victors, and he knew that this rule was set up for the five major tribes.
Although the five major tribes live at the foot of the Burning Mountain, and the strength of the young warriors is higher than that of the warriors far beyond the Burning Mountain, there are always a few exceptions, and there will always be a lot of geniuses among the more than a thousand tribes, and if it is a one-on-one battle, there will definitely be some warriors from other tribes among the last hundred victors.
And it's different for everyone to duel together, there are many young warriors in the five major tribes, and there are many masters, and in the chaotic battle, even if the other tribes have individual geniuses, the overall strength is much inferior, and under the two fists and four hands, they will eventually have to drink hatred.
In this way, the quota of one hundred places to climb the Burning Mountain was monopolized by the five major tribes, effectively preventing the strength of the other tribes from growing.
Now, the emergence of Hong Jun has the potential to break this monopoly!
Most of the young warriors who participated in the Heavenly God Ceremony did not even practice the first weight of the Great Desolation Burning Body Sutra, and only a small number of geniuses practiced the first level, and Hong Jun is now the third realm, and he can easily sweep the Heavenly God Ceremony with his own strength, even if the five major tribes fight together, it is wishful thinking to defeat Hong Jun.
In the plan of the Burning Mountain Ember, he planned to let Hong Jun take action to protect a group of warriors of the Shaoyan Department at the Heavenly God Ceremony, so that they could obtain supernatural powers, and after many years, a group of masters with supernatural powers would appear in the Shaoyan Ministry.
Of course, there were too many people for Hong Jun to protect, and most of the warriors had limited strength, and even after obtaining supernatural powers, their achievements were quite limited, so Lieshan Ember only selected ten of the most outstanding young people.
Today, when he learned about the current difficulties of the Haodian Department from Lieshan Rong, Lieshan Ember immediately thought of Hong Jun, if the quota of the Heavenly God Ceremony was exchanged for the protection of the Haodian Department for the Shaoyan Ministry, it would be a win-win situation.
Therefore, Lieshan Ember immediately asked to see Lieshan Rong's father, that is, the high priest of the Haodian Ministry, after presenting his intentions, the high priest did not believe that Hong Jun had this kind of strength at all, and Lieshan Ember couldn't convince the other party, so he simply came back to find Hong Jun to go to the Haodian Department and let him prove his strength.
Hong Jun told his guess, and finally smiled: "Father, you must have been lucky to get the supernatural power in the first place, right?"
"I knew you were very smart, but I didn't think you were so smart, what was in your head?" Burning Mountain Ember was dumbfounded when he heard this, he really relied on luck to become one of the hundred victors, and the five tribes above the Heavenly God Ceremony fought to the death for some reason, and in the end he picked it up.
This time it was Hong Jun's turn to be embarrassed, and what he had in his head was indeed not an ordinary thing.
