"So, what you mean is that those black armors are all disguised by the former Xizhou sword armors?" In an alley in the east of the city, Chu Zhaozhao was chewing on the steamed buns he just bought while staring at Chu Qingxiao sitting on the steps.
, asked.
Chu Qingxiao shook his head and said: "They are not pretending, they should be controlled by someone."
"The black armor almost killed you before, but as soon as I took off his mask, he suddenly lost his fighting power and his whole body went limp."
Chu Zhaozhao carefully recalled the reaction of the black armor before, and it was indeed exactly the same as what Chu Qingxiao said.
"At that time, Zhu Yin controlled them?" Chu Zhaozhao expressed his inference, "Or maybe it was the false god."
Chu Qingxiao said: "Although my memory is incomplete, I don't think that old Taoist priest is our enemy. He may be imprisoned in that courtyard, and like these Xizhou Sword Armor, he is controlled by Zhu Yin."
"And the reason why I was able to find Hei Jia's weakness was because someone used a method that I couldn't understand at that time to pass the message into my mind."
"Didn't you say that the false god's energy also exists in that house? I wonder if he is secretly helping."
Chu Zhaozhao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe. But I have reminded you that from the former Zhou Dynasty to the present day, whether it is the Northern Wei Dynasty or our Yu Dynasty, there have been countless disasters caused by false gods."
"It is not easy to find a piece of white jade in a puddle of mud."
Chu Qingxiao remained silent, obviously not intending to dwell on this issue any longer.
Chu Zhaozhao didn't care about this either. She took another bite of the steamed bun in her hand and said: "The courtyard has also been entered, and Xizhou Jianjia has also seen it. Now you will no longer suspect that I am a liar, right?"
This question made Chu Qingxiao lower his head and fall into silence.
The weirdness of the house, the cries that only he could hear in the yard, and the black armor that looked exactly like the Xizhou Sword Armor in his dream all confirmed that there was a secret hidden in Wuling City where he had lived for more than ten years.
.
Chu Zhaozhao probably also understood that it would take some time to fully accept this fact, so she did not rush her, but just waited quietly.
After a while, Chu Qingxiao raised his head and looked at Chu Zhaozhao.
"But why is this happening?"
"If Zhu Yin really exists, isn't their purpose to transform this land into a dark realm?"
"Why do we need to be imprisoned again and hide everything that happened here?"
"What is their purpose?" Chu Qingxiao asked, frowning.
Chu Zhaozhao shook his head: "I don't know more than you. I just followed the order of my junior uncle to take you and Uncle Chu to Tianxuan Mountain. I thought that when I came here, it would be..."
Speaking of this, Chu Zhaozhao paused, and then continued: "I thought I would experience a fierce battle, but I didn't want to enter the city, but what I saw was thousands of lights... So, what happened in Wuling City, the only answer is
We'll untie it ourselves."
After saying this, she looked at Wang Che beside her.
The prince has been silent since he escaped from the house, and now his eyes are dull and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
Chu Zhaozhao touched him with his elbow. The lost prince was startled and let out a low cry. Then he came back to his senses and looked at Chu Zhaozhao blankly.
"What's going on? Are you scared out of your wits?" Chu Zhaozhao asked with a squinted smile, his tone a bit joking.
"No...no." Wang Che responded absently, then looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked: "So that guy just now was Zhu Yin, and you don't have hysteria? Are all the things you said true?"
Before Chu Qingxiao could respond to this question, Chu Zhaozhao said first: "Those black armors are not Zhu Yin, they are Xizhou sword armors controlled by Zhu Yin."
"I just talked so much to Chu Qingxiao, but you didn't listen to a word?"
Chu Zhaozhao's suspicious eyes made Wang Che dodge a little, and he said: "Just now...just now I was thinking about other things..."
"Other things? Why can't you accept that your junior uncle doesn't like you?" Chu Zhaozhao did not forget to tease.
"Still unwilling to get invited by Biyun City?"
"No." Wang Che lowered his head and responded dully.
Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao secretly thought that her words had hit the other person, and she couldn't bear it, but she was really not good at comforting people, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Chu Qingxiao hurriedly interjected: "You have also seen the combat power of Heijia. Even Miss Chu is no match. This is just one. When we escaped today, at least seven or eight of them were killed. Maybe this is not all of them."
"If we want to unlock the secret, we have to sneak into that house. With our ability, even ten lives are not enough to save us."
After saying these words, Chu Zhaozhao was obviously aware of the difficulties they faced.
She sighed and sat next to Chu Qingxiao naturally, saying: "The black armor on those guys is very weird. Even if I bombard it with spiritual power, I can't hurt the armor in half. If I can find a way to break through their
The armor may still have the strength to fight."
Chu Qingxiao thought of something, then looked at Chu Zhaozhao and asked: "Isn't your Tianxuan Mountain famous for using swords? Where is your sword? Your fists can't break their armor, so you use a sword..."
Chu Zhaozhao rolled his eyes at Chu Qingxiao: "What do you know?"
"It is true that Tianxuan Mountain's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, but the most important reason why Tianxuan Mountain has stood erect for hundreds of years in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and is considered the best in swordsmanship in the world is the Yao Yao who is located between Qingque Peak and Shenhe Peak.
Lightsaber Pool!”
"Disciples of all generations of Tianxuan Mountain will send their swords into it after death. If the younger generation is recognized by the spiritual sword, they can take the sword and use it, and then send the sword into the sword pool after death."
"For eight hundred years, the sword intentions and hard work of countless sages in Tianxuan Mountain have been gathered together to create the Yaoguang Sword Pool that has fascinated sword cultivators all over the world."
"As of today, there are thirty-six Tiangang Divine Swords, seventy-two Earthly Demon King Swords, and more than seven thousand spiritual swords in the Yaoguang Sword Pool."
"Every three years, the Yaoguang Sword Pool will be open to the inner disciples, allowing them to go to the sword pool to learn about swordsmanship. There are some disciples who are not unusually talented. They have been recognized by the Divine Sword King Sword and have skyrocketed since then."
"For the disciples of Tianxuan Mountain, the journey of sword inquiry is the most important part of the path of cultivation. Countless disciples have been preparing for this day for several years or even more than ten years."
"The art of observing the sword and cultivating the mind that I practice is a method prepared for practicing sword practice. Before practicing the sword practice, I only warm up the sword intent in my body and never use the sword. When the sword intent becomes extremely powerful in the body over time, it will
It’s time to ask about the sword.”
"The more majestic the sword intent that can be exploded in the body, the greater the chance of being recognized by a higher-level spiritual sword."
"But if you use the sword before that, the sword's intention will be revealed, and years of hard work will be ruined."
"I have been practicing the art of observing swords and nourishing my mind for twelve years, just for the day of asking for swords. Therefore, before that, even if I die, I will not be able to hold a sword."
Although this reason is not a secret, it is something unheard of for Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che who are in the border town.
Chu Qingxiao secretly thought about the sight of thousands of divine swords resonating in the Yaoguang Sword Pool, and he couldn't help but feel a little yearning for it.
He sighed: "It would be great if I could go and take a look at the Yaoguang Sword Pond..."
"If there is a chance, as long as we can solve the mystery of Wuling City. When the time comes, I will guide you. This girl is still somewhat famous in Tianxuan Mountain. Such a small thing can be easily solved!" Chu Zhaozhao patted his chest, very excited.
Arrogant words.
Chu Qingxiao smiled and was about to say something.
"Qingxiao."
At this time, a deep voice suddenly came.
The three of them looked behind them at this moment, and saw seven or eight figures in government uniforms walking quickly towards them.
The leader is in his early forties, tall and tall, with a resolute face.
"Uncle Cao." Chu Qingxiao stood up quickly, but the pain from his ankle made him unsteady. Fortunately, Chu Zhaozhao had quick eyes and quick hands and reached out to support him.
The man's name was Cao Shugong, and he was a former colleague of Chu Yueshan. The two had a good relationship, and Chu Qingxiao was also familiar with him.
"Is Uncle Cao patrolling here?" Chu Qingxiao asked politely.
But Cao Shugong, who had been kind to Chu Qingxiao in the past, had an extremely cold expression on his face. He shook his head: "I'm here to find you."
"Looking for me?" Chu Qingxiao was stunned.
"Where were you after noon today?" Cao Shugong asked.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, his expression changed slightly. When he looked at the group of aggressive government officials behind Cao Shugong, he immediately realized: "Did the Zhu family report the crime?"
Chu Zhaozhao also looked wary after hearing this.
"Yao Cao, things are not what you think. Then the Zhu family..." Wang Che also came to his senses and subconsciously wanted to explain.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by Chu Qingxiao: "Uncle Cao, there is indeed some misunderstanding here. We just entered the mansion for fun and had no ill intentions."
The experiences of the past few months made Chu Qingxiao understand very well that what they saw and heard sounded like fantasy to others. The more they talked about it, the more suspicious they became.
Instead of doing that, it is better to avoid the important and take the easy, and see if we can reduce the big things to the small ones.
When Cao Shugong heard this, he did not comment. He just said in a deep voice: "Go back to the Yamen with me first. We will talk about the rest later."
After he said this, several government officials behind him also stepped forward, and there were vaguely military soldiers surrounding the three of them.
"You can't go with them! Zhu Yin must be causing trouble behind this!" Chu Zhaozhao said quickly when he saw something was wrong.
Now there are various signs that Zhu Yin's infiltration into Wuling City has reached a terrifying level. The government servants in front of him cannot be said to be Zhu Yin's minions. To submit to this is like a sheep in a tiger's den.
Of course Chu Qingxiao also understood this. He looked at Cao Shugong and said, "Uncle Cao, my cousin and Brother Wang, I just had a whim and didn't steal anything. There's no need to make such a big show of it, right?"
"I'll ask my dad to buy you a drink later."
But when Cao Shugong, who usually took good care of him, heard this, his expression became even colder.
"Stealing? Chu Qingxiao, you didn't steal..."
Cao Shugong said coldly, but the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily: "But you killed his Zhu family nurse!"
