Chapter 58: When the Songxue Hijab became enlightened
"I originally wanted to come with the Crown Prince, but I didn't expect the Crown Prince to take a step ahead of me."
Here Ashina walked up to Xu Tong and arched her hands slightly: "Xiao Wang only found out yesterday that the prince is actually the son of Prince Gong, your majesty's grandson. I hope the prince will not mind if you are rude."
Ashina was smiling, as if she had completely forgotten what happened yesterday.
Xu Tong could see clearly in his heart that Ashina didn't seem to know that he had noticed their identities. In this case, he might as well continue to act along with them.
"Prince, you're welcome." Xu Tong's expression was upright and he still had the upright expression. Faced with Ashina's compliment, he showed a repulsive look.
"We worship the strong. They are born warriors. It is their honor to die in the hands of the strong and it is the highest funeral for them."
After Ashina finished speaking, the corners of her scarlet lips slightly raised, revealing her neat and white teeth, and she stared at Xu Tong with blazing eyes: "I also long for such an honor!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Xu Tong's shoulder with a hand.
Seeing this, Xu Tong did not hide, but stepped forward to meet him, bumping his shoulder into the opponent's palm.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and the bluestone beneath the two men's feet suddenly exploded with spiderweb-like cracks.
Ashina's hand was firmly on Xu Tong's shoulder, and his expression remained unchanged as he said: "Compared with the Crown Prince's swordsmanship, the Crown Prince's physique is still a bit inferior!"
"They say he's a little worse, but I don't think you're much better either!"
Before Xu Tong could speak, he heard a sneer coming from the side.
Ashina looked sideways and saw a young man in white walking from the crowd. The young man was dressed in white and holding a paper fan in his hand. His face was as clear as a sculpture, and his angular face was extremely handsome.
Along the way, I don’t know how many girls attracted the attention.
The person who came was none other than Zhang Haisheng, but today Zhang Haisheng looked embarrassed, energetic, and full of energy.
The whole temperament of the person has changed greatly from before.
Seeing this, Xu Tong couldn't help but secretly mutter: "This guy actually made a breakthrough!"
The last time I saw Zhang Haisheng in Tanhualou, I couldn't tell that Zhang Haisheng's strength was suppressed for a while.
But looking at it again today, this guy is obviously stronger than before.
It seems that although Tufeiyuan's method is radical, it seems to be quite effective.
But when you think about it, it’s not that surprising. After all, this guy carries eight hundred years of Qingcheng Mountain’s luck on his back. To say he failed is to say hell.
"Who are you!"
When Ashina saw Zhang Haisheng approaching, he put his palms down from Xu Tong's shoulders and put his hands behind his back.
Just as Zhang Haisheng said, with this grab, he seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact, his hand felt like it had been hit by a stone, causing a sharp pain.
It’s just that other people can’t see through this kind of thing. How do you discover it when you’re standing so far away?
What made Ashina even more frightened was that when this person came towards him, his abdomen began to shake, and the exquisite golden and jade ball that he had swallowed into his belly began to suddenly become restless.
This situation often only occurs when the other party's luck is better than your own, but this is simply impossible.
Blessed by the exquisite golden and jade ball, his luck is comparable to that of a destiny protagonist, and he is able to run rampant and be unstoppable.
How could anyone be more lucky than myself??
It is a pity that Ashina does not have the Life Eye Qimen and cannot see with the naked eye when the luck above his head collides with the luck of Zhang Haisheng in front of him.
The golden lion was already being pushed back by the dense forest behind Zhang Haisheng.
It was as if the mountains behind Zhang Haisheng hid an unparalleled and unique beast, which frightened him, the king of beasts.
When you reach the stage of becoming a Grandmaster, you have to work hard on luck, and this is even more true whether you enter the Tao or become a Taoist.
Ashina's luck is considered to be extremely strong. The Golden Lion King of Beasts is rampant in the world.
Xu Tong dared to say that even Lu Zhi's luck might not be able to completely overwhelm him.
But when it comes to luck, there are really few people who can compare with Zhang Haisheng.
When the two met, Ashina's luck was naturally suppressed.
Faced with Ashina's questioning, Zhang Haisheng did not look him in the eyes. He just looked at Xu Tong: "Don't give me a chance, or I will definitely kill you!"
After saying that, Zhang Haisheng walked into the Six Arts Hall, completely ignoring Ashina from beginning to end.
It seemed that in his eyes, there was only Xu Tong as his opponent, and no one else had the qualifications for him to look at him seriously.
This scene undoubtedly made Ashina's face look even more ugly. He stared at Zhang Haisheng's back and listed him as a must-kill target in his heart.
Immediately, he no longer had the intention to quarrel with Xu Tong, and turned around to look at his companions behind him: "Let's go!"
After that, he led the people and chased him into the Six Arts Hall.
Only after these two groups of people left, Yuan Shou, who was hiding behind Xu Tong, poked his head out and said: "Humph, barbarians from outside the territory dare to show off their evil here. They deserve to be taught a lesson!"
"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight. Are you sure you want to go in??"
Xu Tong turned around and looked at Yuan Shoushi and the other two.
He had a strong feeling in his heart that tonight's banquet might not be that easy.
Before Yuan Shoushi could speak, Wanrong beside him said: "What are you afraid of? Talents from all over the world gather together. What a rare and spectacular sight. Ordinary people are afraid that they will never see it in this life. What do we have to be afraid of!"
As expected, she is a woman who came out of the palace, and her courage and knowledge are stronger than ordinary people. If it were Sanniang, I am afraid that she would have to drag her home at this moment.
"Just like this, how can a man be willing to be second to others? Your Majesty, let's go in!"
Since the women were not afraid, Yuan Shoushi plucked up the courage and expressed that he also wanted to go in and have a look.
When Xu Tong saw this, he just smiled and led the two of them into the Six Arts Hall.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a huge wooden statue carved in the front hall of the Six Arts Hall.
The statue is lifelike, holding a square Qianji Lock in its left hand, an ink fountain in its right hand, and a small bamboo basket around its waist, which contains drills, such as drills, planes, shovels, and curved rulers.
"This is the ancestor of craftsmen in the world, Lu Ban!"
Yuan Shoushi was at the side and introduced the two of them.
Xu Tong stepped forward, his ears twitched slightly, and he heard something else sounding inside the statue.
“Is there a mechanism in here??”
"Yes! The Crown Prince is really amazing. I didn't realize until I watched him for a long time that the Crown Prince could tell the secret at a glance."
Yuan Shoushi nodded repeatedly and explained: "The Luban statue is just to deceive others. In fact, there is a huge water mill turntable inside. A bearing is connected to the turntable. The bearing rotates and can mobilize the mechanisms in the Six Arts Hall."
"Oh, is this the same as the ladder in heaven?"
Wanrong asked curiously.
Yuan Shoushi immediately nodded and said: "Yes, but the institutions in heaven are more complicated, so... uh... anyway, what heaven has, the Six Arts Museum has."
Yuan Shoushi was halfway through speaking when he suddenly remembered that these were the secrets of the palace and he shouldn't talk nonsense, so he didn't go on.
The three of them walked inside, and there was a person guarding the door to guide the three of them.
Passing through the front hall is the atrium of Liuyikan.
It is completely different from the design of Paradise, which has clear floors. The atrium is surrounded on all sides, with a total of only three floors. During the day, the sun shines through the crystal on the top of the building, directly illuminating the entire space in the building.
At night, you only need to light the lamp above on the roof of the building, and the light will be repeatedly refracted by the surrounding mirrors.
Only a few lanterns are needed for auxiliary lighting, and the huge atrium is still brightly lit and dazzling.
In this way, it not only ensures the circulation of ambient air, but also greatly facilitates the connection of composite functions and space sharing.
The clever design is a bit like a large shopping mall in reality.
No, it should be said that the atrium design may have been handed down from the Chinese people a long time ago.
There is a rockery and flowing water on the side, and the attics on the first and second floors are already full of people.
As for the third floor...
Xu Tong raised his head and looked around, and found that the third floor was filled with box-style compartments. Each compartment was very small and the windows were very narrow. Even with his own eyesight, it was very difficult to see inside.
"Your Majesty, please go to the main seat over there. As for the two guests, please move to the seats on the second floor."
The attendant led the three of them to the stairs and signaled to Xu Tong and the others. If the three of them were needed, they should signal.
Xu Tong looked at the seats in front and found that the seats were concentrated in the center of the atrium.
It's more like a stage than a seat.
Xu Tong does not reject the feeling of being exposed in the spotlight. On the contrary, this is exactly what he hopes for.
But since it’s a stage, who is the audience??
It can't just be those people on the second floor.
Xu Tongyi pointedly looked at the small cubicles on the third floor of the building: "Your master invited me here, is it possible that he wants to leave me here and hide himself upstairs to rest?"
The attendant was startled when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Don't you know that the prince is the host today?"
"???"
Xu Tong frowned, took out the invitation in his hand, opened it and looked carefully, not a single word was written on it.
Seeing this, the attendant hurriedly explained: "Not everyone has an invitation, but the person who receives the invitation will be the protagonist of the Six Arts Pavilion tonight. Poetry, singing, dancing, craftsmanship, riding and shooting are all methods that can be displayed.
, I invite all the foreign envoys to this dinner, you are today’s host, these are all established rules.”
Only after the attendant finished speaking, Xu Tong received the belated mission reminder.
Side mission 4: Six Arts Hall
Task requirements: As the protagonist tonight, banquet foreign envoys, accept challenges from envoys from all sides, and finally calculate rewards based on completion.
mission rewards:??
Task penalty: randomly add one negative item.
Good guy, Xu Tong rolled his eyes, this is just trying to catch a duck, forcing him to do it without even giving himself any lubricant.
After thinking about it, this matter must have something to do with the people upstairs.
He did not embarrass his attendants. After separating from Yuan Shoushi and Wanrong, he strode to the middle.
Looking left and right, there were only six chairs in total. At this moment, Zhang Haisheng and Ashina had already sat down.
There were also two people sitting on the other two chairs, a fat man with a big belly. He could tell from the clothes he was wearing that he was from Tibet.
The other is an old monk from Tianzhu.
When the four of them saw Xu Tong approaching, they couldn't help but look at him. Seeing this, Xu Tong was not polite and sat directly on the top seat in a generous manner.
At this time, in the cubicle on the third floor, two pairs of eyes quietly looked down from the window, fascinated.
"I remember I mentioned to you a few years ago that I was missing a destined person in my life, so even though the Dao Fruit was achieved, it was difficult to kill the Dao. Now I have found it!"
Gu Peiyuan looked at it for a while, then slowly withdrew his gaze, walked to the table and explained to Mu Tiantong with a smile.
"It's him!!"
After hearing Gu Peiyuan's words, Mu Tiantong suddenly woke up and sat on the chair blankly for a while before finally sorting out his thoughts:
"No wonder, no wonder you dare to sacrifice your own cultivation so easily, so that's how it is!"
Mu Tiantong raised his head and stared at Gu Peiyuan with his eyes covered by black cloth: "Begonia's passionate flower has broken itself, Tianpeng's fame is a mistake after all, there is still one missing, what kind of sincere words did you give him!"
Gu Peiyuan put the wine in his hand to his mouth and took a sip, his eyes shining brightly: "When the Songxue hijab becomes enlightened..."
