Zhi Xuan asked, "Which direction is the essence of heaven and earth?"
"I don't know, just like the first time I sensed the essence of heaven and earth, a strange, very powerful force suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, that feeling was short-lived, and soon disappeared, about a few months later, Only then did I know that something like this appeared in Kunlun Mountains."
"What you mean is that the essence of heaven and earth will release powerful energy at the moment of awakening, and then it needs to be felt within a certain range."
Chongming nodded: "Almost. Yinchuan, he must have gone to the Yuan of Heaven and Earth."
Zhi Xuan squinted at Zhong Ming: "Then you will continue to sleep here?"
Zhongming half-squinted his eyes: "Otherwise? Maybe when you are almost dead, I will go to clear the field and take advantage of the fisherman."
"Hmph, there won't be that day."
"Maybe, after all, I'm not interested in the essence of heaven and earth." Chongming yawned, "How long are you going to stay in my body?"
"This is your shell."
"My shell is part of my body."
Sisi also yawned: "Suddenly a little sleepy, it's so cold outside, why don't you sleep first tonight and talk about it tomorrow."
Zhongming was silent for a while, and the snake head suddenly stretched out in front of Si Si: "Go out." The voice was calm.
Sisi fell off the stool in fright.
The huge snake head swayed left and right, a long letter spit out, and a calm voice sounded again in the turtle shell: "You guys, get out."
Qi Yan desperately winked at everyone and asked them to go out, but everyone had no choice but to jump down one by one.
When it was Qiao Yan's turn, Zhongming's snake head swung back and pulled Qiao Yan's body back: "You don't have to."
"Uh, Chongming, they..."
"Let's talk about it at dawn." Chongming put his head on Qiao Yan's side again, and after a while, he breathed evenly.
Joey sighed.
The few people who were driven out of Chongming's turtle shell were not in a good mood.
It was very cold in Gu'er Mountain after nightfall. In order to save space in the storage bag, bring as many good things as possible. They had already threw away the tent and only brought a sleeping bag. Jiang Chaoge took it out and threw it to Sisi: "That's it for tonight. Go to sleep, it's very warm."
Zhi Xuan was unhappy when he saw the sleeping bag: "It's so small, so it can only sleep one person."
"Then how much do you want to sleep?"
"what should I do."
"Don't you need to sleep?"
"But I want to sleep with you."
Jiang Chaoge was carrying a split-leg sleeping bag. He had just "put on" the sleeping bag. Seeing Zhi Xuan squatting beside him with a sad face, he stretched out his hand to him: "If you transform, I will let you in."
Zhi Xuan threw himself into his arms, and his body shrank in an instant, turning into the appearance of a child. He kicked the zipper of the sleeping bag and burrowed in impatiently.
Jiang Chaoge smiled and stuffed him into the sleeping bag and zipped it up: "Are you satisfied this time?"
Zhi Xuan rested his small head on his shoulder and snorted happily.
Sisi shook his head with some envy, and said to Cracked Feather: "If you become so small, I will let you sleep in a sleeping bag too."
Cracked Feather rolled his eyes at him and sat aside to watch the night.
Sis pouted in disappointment.
Jiang Chaoge hugged Zhi Xuan, his body was very warm, even a little hot, but he couldn't sleep.
Zhi Xuan whispered, "What's wrong with you, you don't sleep."
"Are you asleep? During our absence, I don't know how many things happened. If the essence of heaven and earth really appeared in the world, it would be no wonder that so many cities were empty as we walked along the way."
"The world is the world, it's a matter of time anyway."
Jiang Chaoge said: "Tomorrow we have to inquire about the news. It is about the same distance from here to Bolei City as to the Imperial Capital. Where do you think it would be better for us to go?"
Zhi Xuan narrowed his eyes: "Go to the imperial capital, Suhan must know more than we do."
"I thought so too, but..."
"Just what? Are you still afraid of him when I'm here?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of him, I'm just worried that you will have a conflict. Now is not the time to be desperate, you must not be impulsive."
Zhi Xuan rubbed his ears with his small hands, and looked at him in the dark with bright eyes: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Chaoge held his little hand in his palm and said with a smile, "Take the Sisi monkey to meet the world."
Early the next morning, Jiang Chaoge was awakened by a burst of scent. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Qi Yan who was making bone soup. The rich meat flavor is simply mouthwatering.
Sisi also got up and said vaguely: "It's so fragrant, so fragrant."
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Are you awake? We hunters eat very rough food. If you don't dislike it, let's have a bowl of broth together to warm your stomach."
Sisi quickly crawled out of the sleeping bag and drank the broth beautifully.
Jiang Chaoge also got up.
Qiao Yan shouted: "Chongming, come and have a bowl of soup, there are so many people."
After a long time, a deep voice came from the turtle shell: "I don't like the excitement."
"It's rare to have guests here, so just do some activity. After the activity, you'll sleep better."
"… yes?"
"real."
Zhongming yawned longly: "Okay." A burst of white light suddenly appeared, and the huge flat body turned into a human shape in an instant. Zhongming lay on the ground, looking at the sky, seemed to react for a long time before sit up.
"Come on, Chongming, come and drink the soup."
Chongming looked blankly at the soup that Qiao Yan handed over. There was still more than 30 meters between the two of them. Chongming twisted his neck. The first two strokes were normal. The neck suddenly stretched! Chong Ming's body didn't move, only the neck stretched out more than 30 meters, and flew over with his head.
Si Si groaned: "Mom, you scared me to death!"
Qiao Yan was also so frightened that his hands shook, and he threw half of the soup.
Zhongming looked at Qiao Yan and opened his mouth: "Ah..."
Qiao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can you be so lazy?"
Zhong Ming shook his head: "Ah..."
Qiao Yan took the spoon and began to feed Chongming one by one. Chongming was reluctant to eat, but he insisted on drinking a bowl of soup into his stomach.
Jiang Chaoge never wanted to look in the direction of Zhongming. The appearance of the long-necked monster was too unappetizing. Although each of these beasts had quirks, Zhongming's laziness was overwhelming.
After finally drinking the soup, Chongming retracted his neck and sat on the spot, staring at the sky in a daze without moving.
Qiao Yan came over and stretched out his hand to him: "It's agreed to do some activities today, get up."
Chongming stared at his hand for a while before holding it lightly, and Qiao Yan pulled him off the ground.
Si Si clapped his hand: "Yo, I can finally see Lord Chongming walking."
Chongming moved his legs and really walked towards them, but the steps seemed a little jerky. It's been a long time since he walked.
Jiang Chaoge also reluctantly agreed: "It's really not easy to see Lord Chongming walking."
Zhi Xuan snorted, "Stupid."
Zhongming said lazily, "What are you still doing here, aren't you going to look for Yinchuan?" His eyes fell on Zhi Xuan, "Why have you become so small."
Zhi Xuan gave him a white look: "I'm happy."
Jiang Chaoge explained: "We plan to go to the imperial capital today to find Su Han, he must know what happened during this time."
"Are you going to fight?"
"Do not hit."
Zhongming nodded: "Then let's go, you are so noisy."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "I think, maybe Lord Chongming and Qiao Yan can go shopping with us."
Qiao Yan was surprised: "We?"
Zhong Ming said calmly: "Why?"
"Like what Qiao Yan said, it's activities." If you can take Zhongming there, it will be a little more secure.
Zhongming looked at Qiao Yan: "Do you want to go?"
Jiang Chaoge said: "Qiao Yan, let's go and have a look, your information is too blocked, I know you always think that you are just a hunter indifferent to the world, but in fact, you should understand that from the moment you wake up Lord Zhongming From that moment on, your life has said goodbye to the past. In the past, there will be no ancient alien beasts and His Majesty the Holy Emperor specially looking for you. You should take the initiative, take your own responsibility, and start by understanding the situation. "
Qiao Yan nodded: "Hey... You are right." He said to Zhongming, "Otherwise, let's go take a look."
"… All right."
Jiang Chaoge put out the fire and hugged Zhi Xuan: "It's not too late, let's go now." He summoned the fat leftovers. This place is not far from the emperor and can be reached in half a day.
Chongming looked at Zhi Xuan who was being held in Jiang Chaoge's arms, and blinked.
Qiao Yan said: "Zhong... Ming?" He saw Zhong Ming's body shrink again, until it was about the size of Zhi Xuan's, and his mouth widened in surprise.
Zhong Ming raised his small head and looked at him blankly.
Qiao Yan sighed, bent over and hugged Chongming, and said with a wry smile: "Just now may be the only time in your life that you have seen Chongming walk."
Chongming rested his head on Qiao Yan's shoulder, found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.
Feiyi and Oxiao flew towards the imperial capital.
At noon, they arrived at the imperial capital. The number of guards guarding the city seemed to be twice as large as before, but the customs clearance was very crowded, and no one came in or out for a long time, which was a strange sight.
After a few people landed, they swaggered towards the city gate. Before they reached the city gate, there were already guards surrounding them, and they opened their mouths and asked a series of questions.
Jiang Chaoge took out a silver coin from his arms and threw it: "Go into the city to buy something."
The guard immediately swallowed all the questions: "Well, let's go in."
The six entered the city.
Sisi said excitedly: "Wow, this is the imperial capital, so beautiful, so prosperous, but there don't seem to be many people."
Qiao Yandao: "When I came a few months ago, it was not so depressed. Now it seems that there are really a lot fewer people."
Jiang Chaoge couldn't help standing in the middle of the street, looking at the sparse crowd on the street, he was suddenly filled with emotion. When he came to Tianao City for the first time, what a bustling scene it was. When it was lively, it was almost crowded, but now there are very few people on the street. Looking across the street, one-third of the shops are closed. The door was open and the business was bleak. The most prestigious restaurant in Tianao City used to be at lunch time, and there were not even five tables of guests.
Zhi Xuan also saw the desertedness of the city: "It wasn't like this before, are those liquor stores also closed?"
Jiang Chaoge nodded and sighed, "I'm afraid it is." When he lived in the Yuren Shufu, he often took Zhi Xuan to wander around. There are countless large and small shops, restaurants, taverns, and auction houses in Tian'ao City. , there will always be new things that you can't finish shopping, and now it has become like this, which makes people feel emotional.
"Suhan should have sensed us." Zhi Xuan said.
"Well, wait for him to pick us up and enter the palace, so we don't have to walk."
Si Si whispered: "Brother Jiang, this place is so beautiful, let's take a picture."
Jiang Chaoge raised his eyebrows and said, "Now?"
Tess nodded expectantly.
"What are you thinking, take out the strange thing like a camera here, you will be caught, let's go at night."
Si Si was a little disappointed, and patted the shoulder of the cracked feather: "I already know how to use a camera, and then I will take pictures of all the places we walked, which is more convincing than writing. You can see that we are good brother."
Cracked Feather smiled lightly: "This method is good."
The few people wandered around the city for two streets, and soon, a group of cavalrymen rushed towards them from the direction of the palace. The group of twelve cavalrymen stopped in front of them in a neat and uniform manner. The headed strong knight Jiang Chaoge recognized it. It is the soul soldier who possesses the heaven-level soul weapon Jingting Axe, Li Xianshi, the uncle of Yu Renkui.
Li Xianshi looked at them condescendingly on the horse: "Lord Jiang, it's been a long time."
"Master Li... No, it's time to change your name. What should I call you? Uncle Guo?"
Li Xianshi said coldly, "No need to be too polite. His Majesty the Holy Emperor, especially a few guests, entered the palace."
Jiang Chaoge smiled sarcastically: "Is it the invitation of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, or the invitation of Lord Suhan?"
Li Xianshi narrowed his eyes, his nose twitched, holding back something.
As early as when Jiang Chaoge was still in the imperial capital, he had heard Yu Renshu talk about Li Xianshi. This man looked rough, but he was actually a clear-headed man. As the head of the Li family, he always opposed Yu Renkui's struggle for the throne. Yes, lest the mother and daughter would kill the entire Li clan, but at the same time, as a servant, he couldn't help himself. Jiang Chaoge deliberately mocked Yu Renkui, just to see Li Xianshi's attitude towards Suhan. From Li Xianshi's expression, Jiang Chaoge could guess how much he hated the existence of Suhan, but he dared not speak out.
Li Xianshi calmed down and said, "I'm afraid you've come from afar, I'm afraid you're not here to hang out. In that case, please come back to the palace with me, or are you afraid of seeing Lord Suhan?"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Since you dare to come, why are you 'scared', let's go."
Li Xianshi asked his subordinates to bring in a few horses. He looked at the child in Qiao Yan's arms, feeling a little strange, but he didn't ask.
Everyone got on their horses and walked to the palace.
The Imperial Palace is located on the halfway up the mountain of Tian'ao Mountain, which is the highest point in the entire imperial capital. It stands on a high position and overlooks the whole city.
This was Jiang Chaoge's first visit to the palace. He was the tallest in Tianao City before, and he just went to the Prince's Palace to attend a turbulent banquet.
From a distance, the palace looks resplendent and majestic, and from a distance it is even more imposing and magnificent. It is worthy of being the centralized power center of the entire Tianling Continent.
Si Si looked at the palace, and he couldn't close his mouth in surprise. He whispered, "Brother Jiang, I really want to shoot..."
"Shut up." Don't talk about Sisi, he wanted to take pictures himself, and one day he returned to his own world, how precious these pictures should be.
Tess widened his eyes and looked hard.
Qiao Yan, a wild hunter, has naturally never been to such a gorgeous palace in the future. He couldn't help but get nervous. Zhongming seemed to sense his emotions, opened his sleepy eyes, and said softly, "Why are you shaking?"
"Me? I'm not shaking."
"Yes, I can feel it."
"Oh, get a little excited, the palace is so beautiful."
Chongming yawned: "boring." After speaking, he shifted his head and rested on his shoulder.
After entering the palace, they were taken to a large hall. The bronze door of the main hall was four meters high and was carved with intricate patterns of soaring clouds. The texture of brass and the simple patterns made the door full of solemnity and beauty. Holy breath.
The door slowly opened, and a long corridor appeared in front of everyone. With the opening of the gate, a grand and solemn hall appeared in front of everyone. Inlaid with golden branches and jade leaves, it spreads out arrogantly and arrogantly, like a blooming flower, and like a raging ocean wave.
A stunning man wearing a white-gold imperial robe and a head of dazzling silver hair sat on the throne, right next to the throne, on a dark iron wood chair, a human being transformed from an evil and charming ancient beast, who seemed to be smiling. Looking at them nonchalantly.
In the main hall, there are only Suhan and Yu Renkui, and there is no third person.
Jiang Chaoge understood why Yu Renkui chose to meet them in the main hall of the palace. The aura of such a high-ranking king needs such a ready-made scene to set off, and Yu Renkui was demonstrating against them.
Yu Renkui said indifferently: "Uncle, it's hard work, you go down first."
Li Xianshi bowed to Yurenkui and Suhan respectively, and left without looking back. The two heavy bronze doors in the main hall slowly closed behind them.
The six walked towards the throne step by step, stopped in front of them, and looked up at Yu Renkui and Suhan.
Suhan crossed Erlang's legs, propped his chin, and squinted at them: "Interesting, last time I went to invite myself, but you didn't come, but you didn't come today, what does that mean, Zhongming."
Chongming slowly turned his head and said calmly, "I'm not here."
"Then is your Soul Soldier coming?" Su Han looked at Qiao Yan, "Could it be that you changed your mind and want to accept the canonization? It's still too late."
Qiao Yan shook his head: "Thank you, Lord Suhan, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor. I'm used to living freely. What I want to say is the same as last time."
Suhan said slowly, "Oh, since it's not the case, then you are following Zhi Xuan... to protest against me?"
Zhi Xuan jumped down from Jiang Chaoge's arms, and when he landed, he was already tall and adult. He said bluntly, "Let me ask you a few questions."
"Why should I answer you?"
"Because we can exchange some questions that you are also interested in." Jiang Chaoge said.
Su Han chuckled, "How do you know what I'm interested in?"
"I may not know what you are interested in, but I know what His Majesty the Holy Emperor is interested in." Jiang Chaoge looked at Yu Renkui.
Yu Renkui's eyes also fell on Jiang Chaoge.
After not seeing him for a few months, Yu Renkui became more and more charming. Jiang Chao Ge knew that this adjective could not be used to describe a near-fifth-level Soul Soldier, but he felt it was the most suitable word. Even if he practiced martial arts since childhood, he didn't have much masculinity, but because of his eccentric temper and narrow-mindedness, he became more and more feminine. Now I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been immersed in Suhan for too long, it seems that the whole person is infected with Suhan’s breath, and what is Suhan? Suhan is a prostitution-beast that has lived for thousands of years. Han can change a person from the root, using methods that make people blush just thinking about it. Now Su Han hasn't changed, and it's still the same evil and charming appearance that makes people think about it, but Yu Renkui has changed, and this is the best proof.
Yu Renkui whispered, "Tell me what I'm interested in."
"Great national teacher." Jiang Chaoge spit out these three words calmly.
Yu Ren Kui Meifeng asked, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Chaoge can't say too much, because he is not sure how much Yu Renkui knows, maybe he can get more information from Yu Renkui's mouth: "Your Majesty should know what I am talking about, since Your Majesty is interested, we might as well like I said, exchange a few pieces of information, after all, if we come here, if we don't get what we want, we may not leave."
A cold light flashed in Yu Renkui's eyes: "You threaten me?"
"Don't dare, we are here this time, we just want to know something, we have no other intentions."
Yu Renkui suddenly showed a sarcastic smile: "I know what you want to ask."
"Oh?"
"You want to ask about the whereabouts of Yinchuan and Yu Renshu, right?"
Just as Jiang Chaoge was about to speak, Su Han suddenly burst out laughing. Several people frowned and looked at Su Han inexplicably.
Suhan stood up, walked slowly to Yu Renkui's side, leaned down, took a sip on his forehead, and said with infinite affection, "You are really bad."
Yu Renkui ignored Suhan, and the mockery in his eyes deepened: "I'm really curious, where did you go during the time you disappeared."
"How did you know we disappeared?"
"If you didn't disappear, would you come here to ask us about the whereabouts of Yinchuan and Yu Renshu?"
Suhan didn't seem to be satisfied that Yu Renkui ignored him. He sat on the throne as if no one else was there, picked Yu Renkui up and put it on his lap. He kissed gently along the neck.
Yu Renkui's lips trembled. He was clearly sitting in Suhan's arms and his body was stiff, but he didn't dare to move. Jiang Chaoge could see clearly that the new Holy Emperor, who seemed to be stubbornly armed, had humiliation in his eyes.
Jiang Chaoge didn't sympathize with Yu Renkui at all. His heart was already filled with a lot of ominous forebodings. He asked, "What do you want to say, what happened to them?"
"They..." Just as Yu Renkui was about to speak, Suhan squeezed his chin, blocked his lips with force, and kissed his pale lips rudely, the kind of kiss with a strong and predatory attitude, which made people just watch All blush.
Yu Renkui's hand clenched tightly on the armrest of the dragon head on the throne, because the force was so strong that his phalanx was blue.
In front of them, Suhan shamelessly kissed Yu Renkui until he couldn't breathe, and then let go of him. Suhan turned his head and showed a devilish smile at Jiang Chaoge: "They, most of them are dead."
