Looking at the bookish man in front of him, Zhou Jue was in a daze, and finally remembered what happened before.
He was waiting for the return of Li Danqing and others in the forest, but he didn't expect the person in front of him to come. He took the souvenir from Master Ji and said that he was from Tianjian Division.
Of course, Zhou Jue didn't know much about Tianjian Division, but he knew that he was from the Wuyang court. He could also see that the souvenir from Concubine Ji was not a forgery, so he took the Jade Gold Pill that the other party brought without thinking too much.
A few pieces, just as he was about to recuperate his inner breath, his mind suddenly fell into a trance. When he woke up, he came to this place.
"Eternal Life Palace? Evil General? And your surname is Xu?" Zhou Jue quickly calmed down. He sat down and looked at the man and asked.
"Sir, you are not mistaken. My Xu is Xu from the four Wuyang clans. By the way, I am still the current head of the Xu family." Xu Lian seemed to have heard the implication of Zhou Jue's words and smiled at that time.
He responded.
Zhou Jue sighed with emotion on his face: "Has the world changed so fast? Just like yesterday, you four tribes followed the Ji family in the uprising. You were not afraid of life and death. Countless capable ministers and fierce generals from the Great Shang fell under the swords of your four tribes.
Come on, have you lost your moral integrity today?"
"Sir, after sleeping for a hundred years, it's not surprising that he feels like he's separated from the rest of the world. A hundred years will change a lot of things. The four tribes that once treated each other with sincerity have long since fallen apart. Some people are willing to be dogs and horses, some are too busy to take care of themselves, some stick to the ancient ways, and some
People...look for another way out."
"Find another way out?" Zhou Jue muttered these words: "What will your way out give you? Immortality? Or glory and wealth?"
"Immortality? Sir, do you believe it?" Xu Lian took out a bottle of pills from his arms, opened the bottle, and the white jade pills rolled down on the wooden table in front of Zhou Jue.
"The Jade Gold Pill can't save you, the Immortality Pill is the best medicine for you."
Zhou Jue's face showed a strange color for the first time. He glanced at Xu Lian with some uncertainty. His current predicament was entirely due to the outbreak of the holy power in his body, which made him unable to control himself. Once he took the longevity pill, his cultivation level would be greatly reduced.
He will recover. Although it is impossible to reach the same level as before due to a hundred years of slumber, but even so, his combat power after recovery can only be matched by a handful of the top people in Wuyang.
Xu Lian placed the Immortality Pill in front of him, which made Zhou Jue a little surprised, and he even couldn't figure out the intention of this person.
In Zhou Jue's life, there were not many people who could give him such feelings.
"Don't worry, sir. I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with these immortality pills. If you eat them, your condition in your body will immediately improve." Xu Lian seemed to have read through Zhou Jue's thoughts, and said with a smile at that time,
When talking about this, he paused intentionally and added: "Of course, this improvement is only temporary."
"From then on, sir, I need to continue to take the Immortality Pill to moderate the Holy Power in my body, and the Holy Power will continue to increase until one day, I can no longer rely on the Immortality Pill to maintain the balance of the Holy Power."
"At that time, my husband's death will come."
"So the Immortality Pill is a good medicine, but it is also a poison."
"It's just that the believers in the Temple of Eternal Life are immersed in the nihilistic beauty and can't see the ruins behind the beautiful scenery, and the corpses are all over the ground."
Zhou Jue raised his brows, looked at Xu Lian with interest, and asked: "These words don't seem to be what a disciple of the Eternal Life Palace should say, right?"
"If it were any other person, I would never say these words. But Mr. Xu is different..." The corners of Xu Lian's mouth raised, the smile on his face was wide, and his expression also had a faint hint of madness.
"I have seen Mr.'s deeds throughout the past and present. Only Mr. Wu's ears and talents are the only ones who can join the military lord in one day. Even if they are just read on those yellowed pages, it makes people fascinated. To be able to be as good as Mr.
Only with the acquaintance of gods and men, Xu’s words from the bottom of his heart can be listened to by others.”
"Oh?" Zhou Jue had a playful look on his face: "You seem to know me very well."
"Sometimes things in the world are so strange. You have known some people for decades, and even after drinking for three times, you can only believe a third of what they say."
"But some people, even if you just hear about them, you know what they are thinking." Xu Lian said with a smile, then stepped forward, picked up one of the longevity pills on the table and put it into his mouth.
"Of course you don't have to believe me, sir, and I don't force you to believe me now."
"These immortality pills are my gift to your husband. You can just accept them. I know that your husband has something important to do. Just go ahead and do it. After you finish it, we will talk about our affairs."
After hearing this, Zhou Jue was slightly startled, reached out and picked up the elixir on the table, and looked at it with a deep look in a daze.
At this time, Xu Lian walked to the door and pushed it open. The scenery outside the door suddenly flooded into Zhou Jue's eyes.
This house stands impressively on the mountainside. In a city below the mountain, people are like ants, coming and going all the time. But the dome above the city is covered with clouds and thunder is rolling continuously.
There were faint sounds of hammering, and the sounds were very regular, one after another, as if they were beating on Zhou Jue's heart, and it seemed like the heartbeat of something.
The sound was urgent, like...
It is the movement before something breaks out of its shell.
At this moment, Xu Lian turned his head to look at Zhou Jue, whose pupils were dilated, and smiled.
"That knife is almost finished."
…
"Are you saying that all the three prefectures and nine divisions know this news?" On the official road leading to Huaji City, Master Ji looked sideways at Xia Xianyin and asked with a frown.
Xia Xianyin nodded and responded: "Brother Xu told me so."
"That's wrong!" Li Danqing said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Xia Xianyin and Master Ji both looked at Li Danqing in surprise, with confused expressions.
"The three nine divisions of the Wuyang Dynasty are all extremely large, and the things under their jurisdiction are clearly divided. Except for the Tianjian Division, which is controlled by the emperor and can intervene in the affairs of the other divisions, the other divisions operate independently. For the only time in decades, the three divisions have been allowed to
What the Nine Divisions discussed together is..."
Li Danqing said this, Master Ji
She also smelled the smell, and she took over the conversation and said: "Ten years ago, when the emperor came to the throne, the three vassal kings rebelled..."
"If this matter can mobilize all the nine divisions of the three prefectures, then it must be a big deal. Not to mention sending you two young commanders, it is not an exaggeration to say that the head of the nine divisions of the three prefectures, Si Ming, will come in person!
"
"You mean Brother Xu is lying?" Xia Xianyin was stunned, a little in disbelief.
Ever since the Xia family suffered changes, only Xu Lian in the entire Wuyang City could be trusted by Xia Xianyin. Xia Xianyin obviously could not accept such an inference.
"Yes or no, everything will be decided after we go to Huaji City." Master Ji said solemnly, and then looked at Xia Xianyin and asked, "When will the letter sent to Tianjian Division arrive?"
Xia Xianyin's face was pale, and she was still in huge shock. After hearing this question, she glanced at Master Ji blankly, and then responded: "Tianjian Division has a mirror to pass the message, and it can be linked to Wuyang City recently.
The magic weapon is three hundred miles away from Beihe City. I sent a hidden stake to rush it. Wuyang City should have received the news at noon yesterday. If this matter is really so serious, we must assemble enough to solve it.
It will take at least seven or eight days for our manpower to be transferred to Huajicheng."
"too late."
"Let's go to Sangshan first. The mountain lord of Sangshan, Gongsun Qiuyu, is also a strong man in the Martial Lord Realm. With him, things might not be so bad." Master Ji said in a deep voice. The three of them had been prepared since that day.
The war horses rushed to Huaji City non-stop. Today was already the third day. Master Ji's injuries had recovered a little, but the look on her face was somewhat tired.
But just as he said these words, Li Danqing beside him suddenly pulled the reins of the horse beneath him. He whispered: "I'm afraid Master Gongsun can't help us."
"Huh?" Concubine Ji was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Li Danqing, only to see Li Danqing looking forward in astonishment.
She subconsciously looked for Li Danqing's eyes, but she saw the end of the official road. The destination of her trip, Huaji City, was clearly in front of her, but the gate of Huaji City was closed tightly, and there was no garrison on the city wall, which was even more terrifying.
What's more, in the sky above the city gate, dark clouds like ink stains are gathered together. Are there thunder snakes and electric pythons walking among them? The air of death is filled and the sky is gloomy...
It seems that the city in front of you is not the residence of strangers, but...
Gate of Hades!
"This..." Master Ji noticed something unusual and her face darkened.
"Xianyin, have you received any news about the strange phenomena in Huaji City during these many days in Wuyang City?" Li Danqing looked straight at the city and asked softly.
Xia Xianyin shook his head and asked strangely: "The unusual shape of Huaji City seems to have been accomplished in a day, and the city is at the foot of Mulberry Mountain. Why did Gongsun Qiuyu never report this matter to the court?"
Li Danqing heard the words and did not comment. He just looked at Master Ji at that time: "Hasn't Her Royal Highness the eldest princess always wanted to know who the Lord of the Holy Mountain of the Eternal Life Palace is?"
