On the endless snowfield, the Black Mountain lies like a giant dragon.
Stretching from north to south, it seems to be boundless, with mountains towering like forests, some of which are thousands of feet long, or even thousands of feet long.
Compared with Liuji Mountain, which spans the borders of the Three Kingdoms, it is naturally small, but on this grassland, it is also one of the most majestic.
Phew~
At a certain moment, on the top of the mountains, surrounded by ice, snow, clouds and mist, the whole body was pitch black, and the Seven Kills Palace, which was made of unknown mountains and rocks, suddenly shook.
Boom!
Like a thunderbolt flashing through the clear sky, the huge sound wave echoed in the mountains, causing icebergs and avalanches everywhere, and the snow rolled in like tides and waves.
"Um?!"
Outside the shrine, there were caves and wooden houses where people woke up from their trance and looked at the dark palace, with horror and surprise flashing in their eyes.
"Seventh Master?"
Someone stepped forward, but before he could get close, he was pushed away by a powerful wave of air:
"roll!"
The deep voice echoed, making all the cultivating warriors on the mountain top tremble.
Not Master Qi...
"Sixth Master?"
The old man who came forward trembled and backed away hastily.
Buzz!
In the dim palace, there seemed to be a will-o'-the-wisp trembling. At a moment, the ground cracked, and a transparent ice coffin was pushed up by the invisible air current.
Click!
The ice coffin shattered, and the old demon sitting inside suddenly opened his eyes. His long black hair moved in unison, and a coldness flashed in his red eyes.
"call!"
He took a deep breath, and the energy that he could only detect flowed out from the void and was sucked into his body.
"Tai Sui, the Northwest Way, the Old Way of Truth..."
Many scenes seemed to flash before his eyes, from going down the mountain to dying...
He saw the huge Tai Sui Demon as big as a mountain, saw the northwest road under the wind and snow, and felt the Fate-defying Sanshou style that directly broke his realm of harmony.
I also saw that page of the Hades Book...
"The remaining pages of the book of life and death..."
As he muttered to himself, the coldness in his eyes became a little darker:
"Yang Prison?"
Seemingly confused and confused, the old demon who emerged from the coffin was digesting the vitality of another soul after its soul had been shattered. Gradually, his vitality continued to rise from the trough.
Until it caused the huge palace and the giant mountain below to shake.
"No, no..."
He muttered to himself several times, and suddenly exerted force on his palm. With a sudden press, the cracks in the ground became even larger, and the frozen cave covered with ice and snow could be seen underneath.
boom!
He opened his five fingers, and a compass jumped out of the ice cave. In a flash of faint red light, the shadows of ice coffins disappeared in the darkness.
"Sinan is destined to be lucky..."
The old demon exerted force with his five fingers, and the surging true energy poured in instantly.
There was a red tide surging in the dark palace. If anyone were here, they could see the light flowing in the old demon's eyes, as if he was deducing something.
boom!
Not long after, a roar echoed, and the hall almost cracked. The huge sound wave spread, causing avalanches in the mountains.
"Half of the foot is not in God's will? A variable? Or does it come from outside the territory?"
The old demon looked tired and muttered to himself.
"Sixth Master? Seventh Master?"
In the darkness, an old man stood holding a knife and spoke.
"destroyed."
The old demon gathered his thoughts and his face was as dark as water.
"What?"
Even though he had expected it, the fifth white eyebrow was still a little scared:
"All the heroes outside the Great Wall have come out of seclusion. How dare Zhang Xuanba take action?"
"not him……"
The old demon replied calmly, showing no emotion or anger.
This battle was simply a shame for him.
In fact, when he arrived, he vaguely noticed something. The difference in his luck when he went down the mountain this time was simply outrageous.
When Tai Sui was born, the old Taoist Zhenyan also came to fight for him, especially the latter. If the old Taoist hadn't risked his life and hurt his own roots, he would never have stayed outside the northwest city for so long...
This had to make him suspect that Ming Dynasty was running out of energy and was making a mad counterattack against him.
Otherwise, this doesn't make sense.
Seeing that his face was as dark as water, the fifth white eyebrow was excited, but he did not dare to mention this matter again, and instead asked him about what he had said to himself before:
"Sixth Master, you mentioned outside the territory before, but the tide has not yet come, and the sky and the sea have not recovered. Is it possible that anyone can cross the 'territory gate'?"
"At this time of great change, it may not be impossible..."
After pondering for a while, the old demon's brows relaxed:
"If this is really the case, I'm afraid it's another sign of impending changes. No wonder the energy is so strong. So that's it, that's it..."
Natural changes, of course, are no secret to him.
But when the Heavenly Change will come, no one knows, because as early as the first life when he obtained the exotic treasure "Eighth Immortal Fighting", the Heavenly Change had already been widely spread.
In fact, there are too many people in this world who are waiting for changes, but he will not put his future on such uncertain changes.
That's why he invited Zhang Xuanba to fight and took the opportunity to go down the mountain to find his 'eighth life'...
“How does this person cope?”
The fifth white eyebrow was a little worried.
He naturally knows how powerful his master is. Even if he does not have seven bodies in one, he is still a top figure in the world, and yet he has fallen...
"This man holds a very powerful rare treasure. There is no need to touch him for the time being. He will not die soon..."
The old demon gently held the compass and sighed:
"Originally I just wanted to take his luck first, but I didn't expect that the mantra would seek death..."
Shock, anger, murderous intent, pity, all kinds of emotions surged in his heart.
"I just hope he can gather the 'Sha Po Lang' as soon as possible..."
With this thought in his mind, he looked up as if aware of it.
"This is……"
His sight penetrated the layers of clouds and mist, and fell between the mountains. Vaguely, he noticed a wave that was about to rise,
"The spirit of the emperor!"
…
…
Wanlong Road, the City of Gods.
when!
when!
when!
The cabinet bells echoed in the imperial city.
In the inner library, Xu Jing stayed up all night. Hearing the sound of the bell, he couldn't help but yawned and pushed away the scriptures covering his body.
"That old guy, what do you want to do again?"
After sorting out his appearance a little, Xu Jing nodded slightly while looking at the handsome middle-aged man with a long beard in the bronze mirror, while he frowned a little in his heart.
As the Minister of War, he was naturally qualified to follow Emperor Qianheng in his personal expedition, but he really had no interest in this.
Therefore, he declined on the excuse of illness and spent many days in the inner library without going to the morning meeting. However, when the bell rang, he had to get up.
"Master Xu."
As soon as he stepped out of the library, several armored guards came in a hurry. Seeing him coming out, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's just a cabinet discussion, what's the fuss about?"
Xu Jing glanced at several people.
"Sir Xu, something big has happened."
The guard whispered:
"The new issue of the Splendid Mountains and Rivers List has been released..."
"how?"
Xu Jing became interested.
Although he is a civil servant, he is also a skilled archer and horseman. He also possesses the magical power of "spreading beans and forming an army", and he is also very interested in the Splendid Mountains and Rivers List.
"Big changes!"
Seeing Xu Jing's interest, the two guards were very excited and reported in a low voice:
"The old Black Mountain demon has fallen from the second throne! This is the beautiful list that Mr. Xue has re-arranged after personally inaugurating the 'sacred monument'..."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Xu Jing couldn't help but feel shocked:
"Who has such ability? Mu Qingliu, Brahma Ruyi, or the Dharma King of the Red Sun?"
"yes……"
The two guards were about to say something, when suddenly their bodies trembled and they fell silent.
In the imperial city, Xue Dilong strode out. No one came, but the voice came first:
"Brother Xu, you didn't go to court early, and the cabinet didn't come. Why, are you resentful of Xue, or are you dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Emperor Qianheng went on a personal expedition, but Xue Dilong never went. Instead, he stayed in the capital and supervised the country together with the prince.
"What, your Majesty has just left Beijing, will the Chief Assistant take action against Xu?"
Xu Jing sneered.
The two big men's swords were at war with each other, causing the two guards on the side to break out in cold sweat and tremble with fear.
"In Brother Xu's eyes, is Xue such a despicable person?"
Xue Dilong sighed slightly.
Xu Jing said without pretense: "Master Xue, you have to say it directly, why bother beating around the bush?"
Xue Dilong is the chief minister of the dynasty, but he has not yet reached the point of dominating the government and the public. On the contrary, after Xu Wenji was imprisoned, he was ostracized and targeted by the officials.
In fact, even the prince criticized him.
But because of this, he was able to stay and assist the prince in supervising the country...
"Xue came here to invite Brother Xu to visit the prince and ask him to open the royal secret treasury..."
"What?"
Before Xue Dilong finished speaking, Xu Jing's expression suddenly changed.
Where is the royal secret treasury?
According to legend, all the treasures acquired during the Ming Dynasty for more than 400 years are contained therein, including magical weapons, Taoist fruits, magical arts, precious elixirs, and even several national-suppressing instruments.
It was a truly forbidden area in the imperial city, and only the emperors of the past dynasties could open it. Even the princes were not qualified.
"Opening a treasure house without permission is a capital offense!"
Xu Jing's expression suddenly darkened:
"Xue Dilong, do you know that based on what you say right now, I can report to Your Majesty and have you thrown into prison!"
"Brother Xu, please be patient."
Xue Dilong waited for him to rebuke angrily before speaking:
"Brother Xu, do you know why the old Black Mountain demon fell to second place on the Splendid List?"
"You arranged it yourself."
Xu Jing sneered:
"His Majesty wants you to control the 'Sacred Monument', but your new Splendid Mountains and Rivers List may not actually pass through the Sacred Monument!"
Xue Dilong did not refute him, but simply said:
"In the early hours of this morning, the Black Mountain old demon's incarnation died outside the northwest city. His thoughts were shattered, and there was no harmony anymore. Naturally, he fell to the second place..."
"The incarnation of the old demon has fallen outside the northwest city?"
Xu Jing's eyelids twitched wildly.
"Prince Zhao, you must have never left isolation. His old man's injuries are not serious..."
His mind was spinning so fast, and when he thought of Xue Dilong's proposal to open the secret vault, his heart trembled.
"The one who took action was not Prince Zhao..."
Xue Dilong glanced at the two silent guards, and his expression became solemn:
"The person who took action was the one who caused rebellion on the Northwest Road and caused His Majesty's personal conquest to rebel..."
"Yang Yu?!"
…
…
boom!
Above the long sky, the air exploded like thunder, and long and persistent air traces spread out for several miles behind the flying Golden Eagle King, seeming to split the sea of clouds.
Phew!
The golden eagle roared loudly, and its speed dropped sharply. It flapped its wings slightly, shaking off all the wind and frost it had caught along the way. Here, the wind and snow disappeared.
The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, not just thousands of mountains and rivers?
At this moment, early spring has not yet arrived, and the northwest, Longyuan, Ding'an and other roads are still in the snowstorm, but the Wanlong River, separated by the mountains and rolling eastward, shows no trace of ice.
At a glance, you can even see some greenery on the earth and among the distant mountains.
"Wanlong Dao..."
On the back of the eagle, the masters of Jinyiwei were finally in a better mood. Four or five years of flying back and forth day and night had really made them exhausted.
Extremely eager to set foot on the earth.
Phew!
The Golden Eagle King flapped its wings and landed outside the nearest city.
Among the crowd of people, Wang Muzhi frowned slightly:
"How far is it from here to the capital of God?"
"It's less than 30,000 miles. If you take a short rest, you can arrive at the Divine Capital by early tomorrow morning at the latest. However, His Majesty is not in the Divine Capital. I'll just wait here..."
Li Baihu replied.
Along the way, except for the Golden Eagle King's physical exhaustion, he had almost no stops. At this moment, he was somewhat tired.
"It's not that far..."
Wang Muzhi sighed:
"This city is not at the foot of the emperor, but it is adjacent to the Wanlong River. It can be considered wealthy, right?"
Looking at the refugees in tattered clothes outside the city, Li Baihu's face became even more gloomy.
Without much conversation, Li Baihu strode into the city without fear of Wang Muzhi escaping, while the latter allowed a group of royal guards to follow him.
Not long after, he suddenly stopped. On the smooth wall, there was a list with wet ink posted on it.
In my ears, there was the sound of discussion one after another.
"Old demon from Black Mountain fell to second place, and I, the Sword Master of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Qingliu, ascended to second place!"
"Oh my god! That old demon actually..."
"hiss!"
…
The streets were filled with warriors carrying swords and swords. They were discussing and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Wang Muzhi looked at the sound and couldn't help but be startled...
[Third on the list of mountains and rivers, Yang Prison with the beheading knife!]
