Li Danqing on the side also widened his eyes and looked straight at the "Mr. Mu" who took off his mask.
Mr. Mu, who is respected as a master by the Qinglang tribe, is none other than one of the four Wuyang clans and the former head of the Xu family, Xu Lian!
Xu Lian has been missing since the battle at Painted Halberd City. Li Danqing thought he had abandoned his clan and devoted himself to the Palace of Eternal Life, but he didn't expect to meet him here.
Li Danqing and Xu Lian could not be said to have any friendship. He just frowned and looked at each other and asked: "So... is it your Eternal Life Palace that is obstructing the affairs of the Liao people?"
It is not surprising that Li Danqing has such a conjecture. After all, ever since Li Danqing came into contact with the Palace of Eternal Life, this evil sect has been showing Li Danqing unparalleled penetration and huge power with almost no end in sight.
If the Palace of Eternal Life can penetrate so deeply into Youyun and Wuyang, it is not unreasonable that there are also fanatical believers in Daliao.
"It doesn't matter what the prince said to me, but if Palace Master Yu Qinghuan knew about it, I'm afraid he would be sad."
"After all, that palace master is devoted to you, the Crown Prince. How could she be willing to hide such a big thing from the Crown Prince?" Xu Lian said with a smile.
His expression looked extremely calm, with neither excitement nor anger at all.
It was as if the scene in front of me was just an ordinary thing when old friends reunited and exchanged greetings.
But the more he behaved like this, the more uneasy everyone in Li Danqing became.
"So, who is Brother Xu doing this for?" Li Danqing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and looked at the other party and asked.
Xu Lian smiled again: "Your Majesty, I look down on this question. Why do I have to do things for someone? Why not for myself?"
Li Danqing frowned, smiled bitterly, and then said: "Okay, then let me ask another question, why do you do this?"
Xu Lian seemed to have great malice towards Li Danqing. He stared straight at Li Danqing, glanced at Xia Xianyin beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "First of all, the prince must understand what this is, and then
Ask why.”
Li Danqing's brows furrowed a little deeper. He didn't like the way the guy in front of him talked like this.
"Brother Xu, what is going on?" Xia Xianyin also walked up to Li Danqing at this time, looked at Xu Lian and asked.
There was a bit of surprise in her brows about meeting her old friend again, but more of it was a deep vigilance and precaution.
Xu Lian understood the meaning written in the other party's eyes in just a moment.
He raised his eyebrows, and the faint smile on his face disappeared a lot.
He turned his head to look at the evil sword not far away and said, "Xianyin, you don't have a good eye for people."
"There are so many young talents in Wuyang City, but we chose a guy like Li Shizi."
"He seems smart, but in fact, like his father, he sticks to the old rules and hates Wu Yangchao to the core of his heart. But the things he does are still the same foolish and loyal acts of loyalty to the emperor and the country."
Xu Lian mocked Li Danqing as if no one else was watching. However, before Li Danqing could refute his words, Xia Xianyin spoke first:
"Brother Xu! You have been my childhood friend and I have always respected you, but this does not mean that you can humiliate my man arbitrarily!"
"Today Li Danqing and I are the vanguard of Wuyang's defense against the invaders, but you are a traitor who has taken refuge in the thieves, betrayed the enemy for glory, and ignored the safety of the people in the world. You and I should have fought to the death, but Li Danqing did it for my sake."
, I have been tolerant to you again and again. If you are willing to confess the truth and find your way back, we may be able to be lenient. But if you just want to use your words, I think it is better to draw the sword now and let us decide the outcome.
!”
After Xia Xianyin said this, the two black short knives slipped from her cuffs, and she looked at Xu Lian menacingly, with murderous intent surging between her brows, and it didn't look like she was showing off at all.
Xu Lian finally frowned when he saw Xia Xianyin looking like this.
"You want to fight me?" he asked, his tone filled with disbelief and incomprehension.
"Xianyin, you don't think that at this point, you still have even the slightest chance of winning, do you?"
Xu Lian spoke with great certainty, as if he was stating a fact.
As he spoke, he took a step forward and almost came to Li Danqing.
"Let me introduce it to you."
As he spoke, he pointed at the extremely evil sword spirit not far away: "A hundred years ago, when Wu Yang was in power, the great merchants were in danger."
"In the previous dynasty, a civil servant named Zhou Jue came out. In order to save the building from falling, he realized the Tao one day, climbed to the realm of Lord Wu, and opened a holy mountain, named Lishan."
"Although Lishan was destroyed later, Lishan's star spirit hid in the human world, and the blade spirit of the extremely evil sword in front of me was transformed by the Lishan star spirit back then."
Protoss?
When Xu Lian said these words, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
For everyone except Li Danqing, star spirits are still a strange and fantasy concept.
Of course they knew about the existence of star spirits, but just like the superstitious ghosts and gods of the common people, they were in awe of them, but they had never bet on their true appearance.
At this moment, Xu Lian revealed that the thing in front of them was the rumored noble star spirit, and everyone felt somewhat disillusioned.
After all, it is really difficult to connect the noble and holy thing in the rumors with the violent thing in front of you.
Xu Lian was very satisfied with the expressions on everyone's faces at this moment, and he continued: "Perhaps you have all heard such a story."
"When the heaven and earth first opened, everything was in chaos."
"Both humans and beasts all live in a deserted land."
"Until a saint came to the Martial Lord Realm, understood the secrets of heaven and earth, and won the favor of the stars, so he sent down the stars, and a holy mountain rose up between the sky and the earth. Then the stars fell, the spiritual energy was filled, and the world finally came to life."
"Such a story certainly sounds good and makes people fascinated."
"But there is a big problem with this story."
As Xu Lian said this, he glanced at everyone present with a smile. It could be seen that he enjoyed this feeling - playing a role where everyone is drunk and I am alone.
He continued: "The place where you are standing now is the four counties in the western border of Wuyang."
"Except for the Fierce Yin Mountain in front of us, which is not a holy mountain, the only remaining holy mountain is called Kuyue Mountain. And just a month ago, Kuyue Holy Mountain was destroyed
, the land of these four counties suddenly turned into an extremely cold place, it is not an exaggeration to say that not even a blade of grass can grow."
"Do you think people can survive in such a realm?"
Xu Lian's question caused everyone to fall into silence, not because of the question itself, but because they didn't understand what the guy talking to himself in front of them wanted to express.
Xu Lian didn't care. He continued: "There are twenty-eight holy mountains in Wuyang world. Whether it is Yangshan Mountain before or Kuyue Mountain today, just destroying two of them will change its boundaries.
The environment is so bad that it is impossible to survive. And if it is true as the story says, in the beginning of heaven and earth, there was no holy mountain between heaven and earth, then what kind of bad scene must this world be? And under such bad conditions, can anyone really exist?
Or do other living beings exist?”
When these words came out, everyone who had been confused about Xu Lian's talk suddenly felt their hearts tremble.
Of course, the story he told is a story that everyone has heard. It is passed down orally from home to family, and even a three-year-old child can tell it to others with style.
But no one has gone back to investigate the roots of this story.
At this moment, following Xu Lian's words, everyone thought carefully and naturally realized the strangeness of this story.
Li Danqing even frowned. He was different from most of the people present. He was someone who had come into contact with the Star Spirits. Even in the inner world of Sihai City, the book spirits who represented the cultural heritage of the previous dynasty that he had met were also
I have mentioned this matter both inside and outside the words, and the content of the words is almost the same as this story.
But as Xu Lian said, there is a big contradiction in this story.
The aura that a holy mountain can bring is limited. The destruction of a holy mountain will leave a county or even several counties without any living people. In ancient times, the world experienced thousands of years of chaos. Without the holy mountain,
How did the creatures in heaven and earth survive the long cold night and watch the rise of the first holy mountain?
Li Danqing showed confusion. He stared straight at Xu Lian in front of him, wanting to know what kind of answer he could give.
This is not because of Li Shizi's curiosity. In fact, on ordinary days, how could Li Danqing have the heart to listen to these old stories from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago?
But at this moment, he was vaguely aware that the answer to this story seemed to be inextricably linked to himself, the Chaoge Sword, and the evil spirit in the altar.
"Such a ridiculous story has been sung in this land for tens of thousands of years. There are never many absurd stories in this world, but it has been circulated for so many years, and it has tried its best to make everyone believe it.
, there must be a bigger secret hidden behind it."
"This secret must be related to all living things in the world, and even affect the existence of this world, so those who know this secret will try their best to hide these secrets."
Having said this, the faces of everyone present became solemn. They all stared at Xu Lian in front of them, and for some reason there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in their hearts, as if something was hidden deep in their hearts.
, the fear that even they themselves had not known before was about to emerge.
Xu Lian laughed. His smile was so bright and real, but at the same time it was so sinister.
He said: "Everyone here is very lucky. You are the first people in these ten thousand years to know the truth."
