"What's wrong with this thing?" Shi Mu's eyes also fell on the black jade plate in Hussere's hand, and he asked...
"I have suspected before that this jade tablet is not just a magic weapon used to record the names of participating disciples. After some research over the past few days, I found that it contains a communication array that can be used to transmit messages."
When Shi Mu heard this, he raised his eyebrows as if he thought of something:
"you mean?"
"Yes, I just received a message, which was sent from the Mingyue Sect General Forum." Hussere said, gray light emerged from his hand, and his fingers tapped several places on the black jade plate.
A layer of faint white light emerged on the surface of the jade plate, condensing into several lines of small white characters.
Shi Mu's eyes scanned over a few lines of small words. The content was very simple, asking Hussere to bring those who won the preliminary round to Quyang City as soon as possible. There was a sense of urgency between the lines.
"Senior Mu, what do you think of this matter?" Hussere put away the jade plate and asked.
"It seems that something happened, and the Xixia Kingdom is no longer peaceful." Shi Mu recalled the black-winged griffon he saw during the day and sighed.
Hussere nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with Shi Mu.
"When you get to Quyang City, find an opportunity to give up your identity as an envoy." Shi Mu said.
"Yes." Hussere hesitated and said.
Over this period of time, he has become more and more familiar with his identity as an envoy. He enjoys this feeling of being in a high position. He suddenly feels reluctant to give up this identity.
He laughed to himself in his heart, put aside this absurd idea, bowed to Shi Mu, and walked back.
"Stone, what are you talking about? And where is this?" Cai'er looked at Hussere's retreating back and asked with a crooked neck.
Shi Mu smiled, glanced at the stars in the sky, then led his mount back, and at the same time briefly told what had happened in the past few days while Cai'er was sleeping.
"I see, so many things happened while I was asleep these days..." Cai'er shouted, jumping up and down on Shi Mu's shoulder.
"If everything goes well, it won't take long for us to arrive at Xihe Continent." Shi Mu said.
Cai'er's eyesight has greatly improved, which is a real surprise for him.
He looked to the west with bright eyes.
…
In the southeast of the ancient Xixia Kingdom, between the Lushan Dynasty and the Lushan Dynasty, there was a small country called the Wei Kingdom.
The territory of Wei State is long and narrow, close to the two provinces of Donglin and Linhai of the ancient Xixia Kingdom. There is only one medium-sized sect in the country, the Esoteric Sect, which is also the state religion of Wei State.
Because this sect maintains a certain distance from both the Mingyue Sect and the Tongtian Immortal Sect, as well as some other reasons, it has been able to live in peace with these two major sects for many years.
But now, in some towns on the border of Weiguo, there are many Taoists wearing blue robes.
There are warriors and sorcerers among these people, but they are mainly warriors. Most of them carry swords, sticks, spears and other magical weapons on their backs, and their cultivation levels range from acquired to innate. They almost cover all the inns in several towns on the border of Weiguo.
.
Regarding this unusual situation, both the Wei royal family and the Esoteric Sect chose to remain silent, as if they were unaware of the matter.
The national boundary between Weiguo and Donglin Province, the ancient Xixia Kingdom, is two towering mountains stretching for an unknown number of miles. At the junction between the two mountain ranges, there is a mountain passage over a hundred feet wide. A white canopy is stationed at the entrance of the passage.
Camp.
This is the only transportation link that can enter the Donglin Province of the ancient Xixia Kingdom from the ground. In the past, it was garrisoned by people from the Wei Kingdom royal family and the Esoteric Sect all year round. Since there has never been any conflict between the two countries, and the terrain is dangerous and difficult to defend, it is difficult to attack.
There are fewer and fewer people staying here, and most of the campsites are vacant.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was scorching, scorching the earth, causing the ground temperature to rise sharply and making it steamy.
A girl with a slim figure and a veil on her face, dressed in aqua clothes, gradually walked towards the mountain camp from a distance, carrying a small cloth package behind her.
In the originally quiet camp, a figure flashed, and a bald monk, about thirty or forty years old, appeared. He had a fat head and big ears, a ring scar on his head, and his apricot-yellow monk's robes were bulging, and his neck was bulging.
There is a string of black beads hanging on it. The beads are as big as a fist and as small as an adult's thumb. There are faint gold lines on the surface.
He touched his bare forehead, took a few steps forward, and said loudly to the girl in green shirt who was still dozens of feet away:
"Please stop!"
The girl in green shirt didn't seem to hear him, and continued walking towards the fat monk, speeding up a bit.
"Hey, girl, I told you to stop!" Seeing this, the fat monk quickly stretched out a big fat hand and shouted again.
"Great monk, are you talking to me?" The girl in green shirt looked at the fat monk with a curious look, and asked back, but her footsteps still did not stop.
"Girl, can you see other people in this barren mountain?" The fat monk was a little depressed.
"Oh, I stopped. Great monk, may I ask for any advice?" the girl in green shirt said and stopped.
But at this time, she was less than five feet away from the fat monk.
"...Where are you going?" The fat monk looked at the girl in green shirt in front of him, scratched his head and asked.
"Go to Xixia Kingdom." The girl in green shirt said.
"Go back." The fat monk said.
"What?"
"I told you to go back."
"Why? I remember that the Wei Kingdom did not prohibit entry into the Xixia Kingdom."
"That's not true. But the place is very chaotic now. There are zombies, skeletons, bandits and robbers all over the place. What are you, a pretty girl like you, doing?"
"My pleasure."
"..."
"If there's nothing else, could you please give way, Master? I'm on my way in a hurry." The girl in green shirt said, trying to avoid the fat monk.
"Hey, to tell you the truth, I really don't want to go to the Xixia Kingdom. Looking at you, you must have just come here via Mo Town, right? Didn't you see anything strange in the town?" The fat monk sighed and said.
Hearing this, the girl in green shirt stopped and turned her eyes to look at the fat monk.
"There will be chaos there soon. If you, a little girl, make any mistakes, this poor monk will be guilty." The fat monk said, clasping his hands together and chanting a Buddha's name.
"Thank you, Master, for telling me, but I have to go to Xixia Kingdom for important matters." The girl in green shirt bowed to the fat monk, then walked around the fat monk and headed towards the mountain passage.
As a result, just after taking a few steps, a yellow shadow flashed in front of him, and the fat monk seemed to teleport and stood in front of the girl in green shirt again.
"Master, what does this mean?" The girl in green shirt frowned.
"Girl, if you have to enter the Xixia Kingdom, you must first pass the test of the poor monk. As long as you can hit the poor monk once or touch a corner of his clothes, you will pass." The fat monk said.
road.
"good!"
As soon as the green-shirted girl finished speaking, an aura that was no less than that of an innate warrior emerged from her body. She leaned forward and grabbed the fat monk with one hand like lightning.
"Oh, you little girl hits you all the time without leaving any time for preparation!" The fat monk seemed to be frightened, but his extremely fat body turned slightly and escaped the green monk just in time. The girl in the shirt grabbed it as fast as lightning.
But then, the wind of punch came, and another punch came from a tricky angle.
However, the fat monk's figure was extremely agile. He turned slightly to one side again and hid.
"Master, be careful!" The girl in green shirt frowned and scolded, her aura rose up, her fists were wrapped in a ball of blue light, and as her clothes fluttered, strong water-attribute fluctuations were emitted.
The next moment, the speed of his fists suddenly doubled, but they were slightly blurred, and transformed into more than ten blue fist shadows, covering the fat monk.
The fat monk seemed to have a look of panic on his face. As his body flashed, he felt a bit panicked, but he managed to avoid all the attacks of the girl in green shirt without even touching a piece of his clothes.
At this moment, the girl in green shirt suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled off the gauze covering her face, revealing a stunning face that could be broken by a blow, but it was Zhong Xiu.
At this moment, she was surrounded by blue light. When she opened her mouth, a silent wave spurted out.
In an instant, the blue light around him turned into a dense rain of blue light. With Zhong Xiu as the center, it spread around him and turned into a misty blue water. Waves of almost transparent light blue water were floating in the water. It floated out of the air and rolled straight towards the fat monk, with an astonishing speed.
"Biyin Wanbo Kung!"
The fat monk yelled and retreated backwards like flying, but in the end he still took a step slower. He was slightly touched by the light blue water wave, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a blurred color.
At this moment, Zhong Xiu appeared like a shadow, punched out with one hand, and hit the fat monk in the chest.
But when he almost touched the fat monk's chest, he hesitated for a moment, abruptly removed 90% of his strength, and continued to slap the fat monk's chest.
However, in this brief pause, the fat monk's eyes suddenly became clear, and then his figure blurred slightly, and the next moment he appeared several feet away, causing Zhong Xiu's punch to miss.
"It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, I scared the poor monk to death!" As soon as the fat monk stood firm, he quickly patted his chest with a fat palm, looking frightened.
At this time, the blue misty water in the sky returned with one hand like a whale sucking water, and disappeared into Zhong Xiu Tianling Cap, but his face was slightly pale.
Zhong Xiu seemed a little surprised. Just as he was about to say something, the fat monk's voice sounded again:
"Wonderful, wonderful! The bloodline of the third grade Phoenix Sound, coupled with the Ten Thousand Waves Skill of Biyin, is truly a match made in heaven! I never expected that the girl would have such good fortune at such a young age. What's even more rare is that she has a kind heart. No matter what, the poor monk just let me You go into Xixia Kingdom."
The fat monk shook his head and marveled.
"Master is so advanced in cultivation, I don't know what to call him?" Zhong Xiu asked.
"Haha, poor monk Miaokong, don't call me a master. By the way, the so-called meeting a thousand miles away means fate, I give this to you." The fat monk laughed, turned one hand over, and a black bead the size of a thumb appeared in his hand. , and threw it to Zhong Xiu.
"How can I accept something from the master!" Zhong Xiu was startled and subconsciously caught the black bead. It was as warm as jade. It seemed to contain some kind of strange energy, which made people feel at ease and calm. god.
"Just take it. Okay, I'm going to bed, little girl, you can do what you want." When the last word fell, the fat monk had already disappeared.
"Zhong Xiu, thank you Master Miao Kong!"
Zhong Xiu looked around blankly, hesitated for a moment, and replied in a respectful voice.
Then she didn't look at the black bead in her hand carefully, put it away close to her body, and glanced at the mountain passage, a look of determination on her pretty face. (To be continued.)
