Chapter 324 Kill a favored prince, and someone will protect me?
The long night is getting brighter.
Standing at a high place, you can see the rising sun better.
In the dark night, the sky is filled with clouds. To many hunters in the mountains, this is a very strange sight.
Especially on the top of Jiuchu Mountain, the mysterious white bones of the person entrenched are still shining faintly.
But even a hunter with extraordinary abilities would not dare to climb a mountain at night.
According to rumors, there are often hundreds of ghosts walking at night on Jiuchu Mountain, and demons often appear.
And the reality is just as rumored.
When the morning sun rises and the sky is still dark, I see dark eyes full of greed, staring at the bones of Taichong Dragon Lord on the mountain temple.
The White Bones of Taichong Dragon Lord are extremely precious treasures to most powerful people in the world.
Demons eat bones to practice cultivation, which has unimaginable significance for hundreds of ghosts...the corpse of an Eighth-level Heavenly Dragon.
It's just that on the corpse of Taichong Longjun, the wind-calling sword was completely black, never showing a trace of brilliance, nor did the sharp sword light flow.
But the Wind Sword is like a mountain in the city, suppressing the greed of these demons and evil spirits.
The reason is that the eighteen-year-old Duke Jing Guo not only has a transcendent status, but also the light of the five lost stars shining on his body, each starlight frightens those who covet the bones of the Heavenly Dragon.
As early as in the Hezhong Road, Lu Jing reflected the three Yuan stars, and his combat power was already comparable to that of the eighth-level monks of Zhaoxing.
Even if your eyes are far away, you can see the whole world.
The eighth level of Zhaoxing... already has the qualifications to look up to Chunyang, the Heavenly Mansion.
Especially after the last spiritual tide battle, those tyrannical and unreasonable nobles in the past also fell into the realm of Zhaoxing and Shenxing.
Although these characters have already manifested the Star Palace and forged the Divine Tower, they are far stronger than the monks at the eighth level of Zhaoxing.
But when it comes to realm, the eighth level of Teruhoshi is not far away from them.
As for Lu Jing, who had lowered his Wind-Calling Sword, his cultivation level was even more difficult to predict than when he was on the Hezhongdao.
It reflects five primordial stars, two of which are different from the primordial stars in the human world. They don't know what those two pure white and blue primordial stars represent.
However, Lu Jing stood tall and faced the gaze of many immortals in the sky, which made them extremely frightened.
then……
Lu Jing is in Tianguan.
The Tianlong corpse entrenched on Jiuchu Mountain still attracted countless greedy eyes.
But until dawn broke, those eyes were still greedy, and none of the owners of the eyes dared to approach.
They are waiting...
Lu Jing took the starlight and ascended to the sky.
If he doesn't come back after spending the night, the Duke of Jing, who reflects the five stars with his young strength, may not be able to come back.
At that time, the Tianlong corpse on Jiuchu Mountain... will only be considered ownerless.
only……
The clouds surged in the sky, and a ray of glow spread out.
Lu Jing, wearing a rain-calling sword on his waist, strolled across the Xiaguang Bridge.
The expression on Mr. Guanqi's face had a rare change. It was no longer so gentle, but instead was full of a bright smile.
He walked behind Lu Jing and his eyes fell on Lu Jing's background. After taking a few steps, Mr. Qi Guan stopped again and coughed lightly.
This seemingly ordinary coughing sound did not attract the attention of hundreds of ghosts and many demons in the mountain.
On the contrary, Lu Jing stopped and looked at Mr. Guanqi with some confusion.
Mr. Guanqi noticed Lu Jing's gaze and said with a smile: "The wind and rain in the sky have become a little bit worse, and there is also a lot of rain around the Yuxian Tower. It must be a bit cold."
Lu Jing nodded, thought for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his head and said to Mr. Guanqi: "Sir, you have been guarding the library for many years, and you can't rest in peace because of old wounds.
Now that I have that pulse, I have a lot more vitality. In fact, I don’t have to think about others and pay for others.
You have always liked mountains and rivers, why don't you pick up your bags and visit the famous mountains in the world?"
When Mr. Guanqi heard what Lu Jing said, he understood that Lu Jing had seen his choice before Tianguan.
Lu Jing was persuading him... not to sacrifice his life for others.
Mr. Guanqi walked a little faster and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Jing. He did not answer Lu Jing's words, but turned his head to look at the greenery and the towering Jiuchu Mountain under the morning sun.
“If these mountains and rivers were there, people like me who love them would be able to play around and enjoy them.
It's a pity... time has passed and hundreds of years have passed, but I don't know if these mountains and rivers will still exist in the world."
Mr. Guanqi has something to say.
Lu Jing stroked the Rain Calling Sword at his waist. There was still a tiny wisp of sword energy lingering on the Rain Calling Sword.
The sword energy was left over from Mr. Fourth's sword energy.
He turned his head and thought for a while, then nodded.
“The ancients only focused on admiring the mountains and rivers, but there is nothing wrong with that.
If a person dies, how can he control the floods in the world?"
"However, fortunately, there are still many people in this world who are willing to plant trees and shade for the world, and there are people who protect the mountains and rivers for the world..."
When Lu Jing said this, he glanced at Mr. Guanqi again from the corner of his eye.
Mr. Guanqi even walks so seriously, slowly and meticulously, and every step he takes seems to be the same distance.
"Perhaps in the eyes of most people, this kind of person is too stupid and unwilling to spare his life.
But this kind of person is the most respectable."
Lu Jing remembered that Mr. Guanqi was standing in front of him, with his back to him, but faced with the sight of immortals in the sky, his eyes became calmer.
He did not reveal this matter, nor did he personally thank Mr. Guanqi.
Five rays of starlight fell dimly around, giving the glow bridge a different kind of brilliance.
"What do you plan to do with this Tianlong corpse?"
Mr. Guanqi stood in front of the huge dragon corpse and asked Lu Jing with a frown.
"Taichong Dragon Lord is ultimately the leader of the five sea dragon kings. He is the heavenly dragon who subdues the Yuan Shen Chunyang. Counting the strongest men in the world, his weight is extremely important.
But now, he died in your hands..."
Mr. Guanqi was a little worried.
Lu Jing's expression did not change at all.
When Mr. Guanqi said this, he waved his sleeves again, shook his head and said: "But... you don't have to worry too much.
Before the West Tower in the sky fell to earth, you killed a favored prince, and someone kept you safe and sound."
"The West Tower in the sky has fallen to the earth. If you can still survive, in the eyes of Emperor Chongtian who regards you as a pawn, I am afraid that you will be more important than the three Taichong Dragon Lords."
When Mr. Guanqi was talking, he saw that Lu Jing's eyes seemed to become hot because of one of his words.
He also stared at the landing scene with inquiry in his eyes.
Lu Jing looked around and saw no one around him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Sir... you just said that at this moment, I killed a favored prince, and someone still protects me?"
The smile on Mr. Guanqi's face suddenly froze. He covered his mouth with his right hand and coughed lightly. He stopped looking at Lu Jing and only said: "Yuxuan Tower is different from other houses in that it is born to bear heavy pupils.
Emperor Chongtian asked him to compete with the crown prince, not just on a whim."
Lu Jing understood and felt somewhat balanced.
"Students understand."
"In the final analysis, in the eyes of Emperor Chongtian, the crown prince Yu Zhuoxian and the seventh prince Yu Xuanlou are no different from me.
They are just pawns on his chessboard."
Mr. Guanqi originally wanted Lu Jing to keep his voice quieter, but he thought that the young man who had become a chess piece said a few words of complaint. Even if the sage who wanted to dominate the world really heard about it, he probably wouldn't be surprised.
…
"Taichong Longjun went to the court, and the Second Assistant Master Sheng Ruzhou led the ministers to question Taichong Longjun.
Lu Jing's tricks really worked, he is worthy of being a young prince."
"It's a pity that today's great ambush and war are continuing, and the Northern Qin is pressing forward step by step. There are many signs that another spiritual wave is about to bloom on the ground.
The weight of an Eighth Realm Heavenly Dragon is indeed a bit too heavy."
Over the years, Ji Yuanzhi has grown a lot of white hair on his head. When he takes off his high crown, the gray hair attracts more and more attention.
He sat cross-legged in front of the stove and looked down at the chessboard.
In Taixuan Capital, most of the noble people like the world-famous game of Go.
Ji Yuanzhi just liked chess.
It is a pity that there are not many good chess players in the entire Taixuan Capital. Most of the time, this great scholar who was once the director of the Imperial College can only entertain himself by playing left and right.
There was a guest in his house today, and it was Li Shen who was very close to him.
Li Shen frowned and looked at the flying elephant crossing the river on the chessboard, wondering what the meaning of studying the endgame was.
"It's not as cold as one day's freezing.
As early as the last spiritual tide, the sea dragons of the five directions had already begun to sacrifice blood to living beings.
It's just that... at that time, the sea dragons in the five directions did suffer heavy casualties due to the spiritual tide conflict. After the Holy Lord spoke harshly several times, those clues disappeared.
But I never thought that blood sacrifices would have already come back."
Li Shen frowned, his eyes full of disgust.
This great Confucian who was proficient in running script was just like his words, free and unrestrained but also tough.
Lu Jing returned to Xuandu from Hezhongdao, Aojiuyi in the East China Sea, Fengzhu in the South China Sea, and the head of the family in Hezhongdao went to court to question Lu Jing, and Li Shen's words directly targeted the head of the family.
Ji Yuanzhi sighed and deliberately moved the "general" on the chessboard one step forward.
The hardness in Li Shen's eyes suddenly melted away, and he let out a long sigh.
"The battle for the spiritual tide... I don't know how many people's energy has been sapped."
"General, the handsome spirit is not so easy to wear away.
It's just that their sharpness has changed." Ji Yuanzhi raised his head and mentioned Lu Jing again, his tone full of curiosity.
"Speaking of which, Taichong Longjun went to Qingyun Street to meet Lu Jing, but Lu Jing stayed behind closed doors... This was a bit beyond my expectation.
He cultivated a fearless sword and a body that would rather break than bend... When he was weak, he was unwilling to surrender in the face of certain death. How come now that he has become the Duke of the country, he has become timid and even dared not see Taichong?
A glance at Mr. Long?"
Li Shen didn't think it was surprising.
"Lu Jing has cultivated the Fearless Sword Spirit. He has a rich and unparalleled foundation and an unyielding spirit. However... he is not an impulsive person. There is an Eighth Level Heavenly Dragon in front of him. Since he can't defeat him, why bother to take that beating?
?”
"Taichong Longjun doesn't dare to kill Duke Jing, but he can teach Duke Jing a lesson. It's not difficult to do given his cultivation level.
It's a pity that Dafu now needs such an Eighth Realm Heavenly Dragon."
When Li Shen said this, he gritted his teeth again, his eyes extremely dissatisfied.
Ji Yuanzhi finally looked away from the chess game, looked at Li Shen and said with a smile: "You are a prodigy in reading, and your understanding of knowledge is beyond my reach.
Because I am older, people in the world always rank my name before yours.
But I know that when it comes to knowledge, I am not as good as you."
"If you can go one step further and cultivate your soul with knowledge, and wait until the spiritual tide comes, and make your soul open its eyes with a single thought, then there will not be at least one less sage in this world, but there will be one more great scholar who truly speaks the Constitution of Heaven.
.”
"For an old man like me, I can only say that my vision is more vicious than yours."
Li Shen was a little puzzled.
Ji Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Since Lu Jing dared to do that trick on the ground, he would never dare to see him in Taixuanjing because he is afraid of Lord Taichong Long."
"When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill hundreds of flowers after they bloom!"
"Lu Jing has the courage to kill all the flowers after they bloom like me, so how can he hide behind closed doors and see an old celestial dragon?"
Li Shen was puzzled: "If Lu Jing is not afraid, why does he stay behind closed doors?"
At this moment, three more guests came to Ji Yuanzhi's mansion, which could not be called luxurious.
The three guests are each different.
Among them, the one walking at the front was a man holding two chess pieces in his hands. He was not tall but had a very upright face.
"Sui Han, the two famous swords of Song and Bai, Yu Bai's family?"
When Li Shen saw the visitor, he stood up in a hurry, with a sincere smile on his face.
He had always liked Zhong Yubai, the governor of Anhuai Kingdom, but he was finally not appointed by the Holy King and went to the Northwest Road. In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a year.
But he didn't expect to see Zhong Yubai in Ji Yuanzhi's house today.
There are two other people behind Zhong Yubai.
Although one of them, Li Shen, could not be called familiar to him, he had met him a few times.
"Chu Shenchou has met Yuan Zhi and Shen, two great scholars."
On Chu Shenchou's wrist, a heavenly wheel was not tightly attached to his wrist, but was slowly rotating.
"Chu Daxiu." Li Shen also saluted Chu Shenchou.
Ji Yuanzhi stood up with difficulty. Even though he was old, he still adhered to etiquette and saluted the three of them.
When his eyes fell on the third person behind Zhong Yubai, his eyes suddenly changed.
His pupils were condensed and he looked at the man deeply.
Li Shen naturally noticed the clues and asked Zhong Yubai seemingly casually: "I wonder who this person is?"
Zhong Yubai smiled and said: "The saying of my little friend who has forgotten his age has been spread all over the world."
"Of course there are people in the world who will kill me after the flowers bloom. The three of us will go back to Taixuan Capital, just like Lu Jing, and wait for the immortals from heaven to come and wear those golden armors."
Li Shen was a little puzzled: "Brother Yu Bai is a member of the court..."
Zhong Yubai smiled and said nothing.
Li Shen suddenly opened his eyes wide and thought of a possibility.
Chu Shenchou on the side said: "Brother Yu Bai has been in charge of the Northwest Road for one year. Although the Northwest Road is still poor and in short supply of food, the demons in it have been eliminated... After removing the position, there should be no big troubles in the Northwest Road.
storm."
"Brother Yu Bai really resigned from office?"
Li Shen stood there, and after a long time, he finally sighed and bowed deeply to Zhong Yubai.
"Now the three of us here, all of whom have no positions, are just in time to take a look at the majesty of the West Tower with Lu Jing."
Zhong Yubai laughed loudly.
Li Shen on the side reacted immediately. He glanced behind Zhong Yubai again and said, "Brother Yu Bai returned to Xuandu and didn't go to see Duke Jing?"
Zhong Yubai frowned and shook his head: "I went to Kongshan Lane, but Lu Jing was not in that courtyard. I searched several places, but there was no trace of him.
I have no choice but to come to brother Yuan's house as a guest for the time being."
Until this moment, Ji Yuanzhi seemed to have realized something. He raised his head and looked at the rolling mountains outside Taixuan Jing.
There are mountains at the end of the mountains.
"Speaking of which, last night, not far from the South China Sea, a faint light suddenly lit up."
"It's just that the glimmer of light stopped suddenly...it seemed to have been intentionally covered up."
"I just wonder if that glimmer of light has anything to do with Lu Jing?"
Zhong Yubai was puzzled: "How does the South China Sea... have anything to do with Lu Jing?"
Li Shen smiled bitterly: "Brother Yu Bai just arrived in Xuandu. I don't think I know the recent turmoil in Xuandu."
