Since the ancestor agreed, the eldest princess guaranteed it, and the head of the family released it,
Xia Ji returned to the first heaven on the dragon flying chariot.
His departure from the aristocratic family this time was an early departure. His ancestor had already given information that the new king's apprenticeship would be in late winter this year, and Xia Ji would need to go to Tianyu Mountain in the extreme south to wait.
The day before leaving,
The head of the family told Xia Ji’s “plan”:
The first whetstone for a new king is King Qing of Juye City.
The second piece is the third prince Xia Xian.
The third group may be King Shenwu, or the forces of Ninth Emperor Daughter Xia Xiaosu headed by King Shenwu, provided that the forces that bear the brunt of the fire disaster have not been destroyed.
After that, the new king would establish a capital in the south, ascend the throne and claim the title of Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and use the great rivers and rivers to resist the fire disaster coming from the west.
But the fire disaster destined to last for five hundred years cannot be eliminated at all, so being able to use rivers as boundaries to lock thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to form a delicate balance is success.
As long as the five families can achieve this step, then the first-generation imperial master, national master, general, Wen Shou, and Yingjun can return to the aristocratic family to "retire".
Later, with the confrontation between humans and the Fire Tribulation, more and more people will awaken their bloodlines, and then burst out in oppression and hatred. This process will last for nearly a hundred years.
After that, there will be the real counterattack of mankind. At that time, it has no direct relationship with the king of the new dynasty and the first generation of people who danced in the wind and clouds.
The above is a rough five-hundred-year plan.
The owner of the house also specifically reminded you to pay attention to some important points:
First, the new dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty must be firmly in control.
Secondly, if the most outstanding strong men of this era cannot be used by the family, they must be strangled. They must not be allowed to grow to the peak in this era, or even survive until the next killing, threatening the rule of the family. The first one to bear the brunt is King Shenwu. .
Thirdly, the five major families cannot be trusted absolutely.
Fourth, there are still many powerful forces in the world, including Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, good and evil, and demons, but these powerful forces are all regional.
In other words, they are invincible within their realm;
And most of them have already formed alliances with aristocratic families,
The Su family's alliance is the great monsters in the human world, who are in charge of the imperial division;
The Zhou family is Buddhist and righteous, and is in charge of the national division;
The Lu family is a Confucian and Taoist sect, and is in charge of Wen Shou;
The family of God is a sect of evil and evil, and is in charge of generals;
The objects of the Wu family's alliance are very special. They are some strange species of Jedi. There are twenty-one known Jedi. They are unpredictable, mysterious, and indescribable. The fact that the Wu family can form an alliance with this group of East and West is really surprising to everyone in the same family. , so the Wu family is in charge of Yingjun.
Fifth, in this world, in addition to the five major families and the Supreme Palace that secretly protects the five major families, there is also a force that is also hidden in the shadow of history - the Eternal Life Pavilion.
There are several "friends" of the ancestors in this force. If the aristocratic family has penetrated behind the scenes of everything, then the Yongsheng Pavilion has not penetrated at all. They are independent,
It may appear in Jedi, mysterious mezzanine space, sea bottom, underground and other places,
There are very few people in Yongsheng Pavilion, and what they are doing is mysterious, but there seems to be no conflict with the aristocratic family at all. It can be said that there is no conflict between the well and the river.
Even the head of the family himself has never seen anyone from the Yongsheng Pavilion.
This group of people seems to be walking parallel to the world,
Maybe I will never meet a person from this force.
But you still need to know they exist.
…
…
Xia Ji digested the huge amount of information,
As for the Guan brothers and sisters, Long Xiangjun, Tang Lan, Tang Hong and others, he didn't bring any of them.
Generally speaking, the aristocratic family is still in a state of lockdown. Even if they want to come out, they have to wait for winter, wait for the new king to come to Tianyu Mountain to become a disciple, and wait for everything to go as planned. The aristocratic family will open the door, and the other four families will also open their doors. will come out.
But as he explores and settles down, soon the eldest princess will send out "those seven children who will threaten her status" and ask him to kill them all with a borrowed knife and silence them all.
"I, the great enemy of the family, have become the well-deserved pioneer of the family... It is really unpredictable."
Xia Ji complained.
As for the "truth of his life experience" that he knew, he was not prepared to take it to heart.
He has only two relatives in his life: his mother and Xiao Su.
He also only has one biological sister: Xia Xiaosu.
He will find the confidant maid who betrayed his mother back then to take revenge, and there will be a long confrontation and game between him and the aristocratic family.
As for the Guan brothers and sisters, he would be friendly to them, but he would never reveal this secret, nor would he suddenly confide in them, change his attitude, teach them mystical skills, and give them magic weapons.
It should be a relative's, or a relative's.
If it is strange, it is still strange.
Two or three sentences of truth won't change anything,
This is Xia Ji's determination.
And when he thought of Xia Xiaosu, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. He quickened his pace and moved forward.
…
There are family members waiting for him in the first heaven.
As a large mezzanine space, the Su family naturally does not have only one exit.
A boy and a girl from the family looked at Xia Ji with admiring eyes.
How could this young man of similar age be able to shoulder such a big responsibility
Now he may have been unknown when he went out, but when he returns, he will definitely have left his name in history.
The next few decades will surely be an era when he is good at dancing and moves the world.
"I've met Mr. Feng."
The two disciples spoke with admiration.
"Let's go."
"yes."
The two of them led the way and soon arrived at a huge rock. The young man said, "Sir, this is it. If you walk into the rock, you can reach the outside world."
The girl said: "After you go out from here, you will find the bottom of Yumu Lake in the south..."
Xia Ji couldn't help complaining again about setting the entrance and exit at the bottom of the lake. The family was really full of talents.
The girl continued: "After rising from the bottom of the lake, the surrounding area was very desolate and sparsely populated... However, this is the latest map I specially prepared for you. It was made by survey and cartographers in the late winter of last year. It is better than a military map. good.
I prepared two copies for my husband so that if one is damaged, there is still one that can be read. "
As she spoke, she grabbed two rolls of three-meter-long maps from her arms. She quickly pulled the round columnar map from her chest with both hands, and then handed it over respectfully.
"Thank you girl."
Xia Ji really needed this thing, so he was not polite. He spread out the map and looked at it, and he roughly understood it in his heart.
So he put it away, put in a space storage ring given by the Su family, and walked towards the stone.
In a moment, the figure disappeared into the boulder.
In front of the boulder…
The young man from the Su family smiled and said, "Did you think Mr. Feng would ask you what your name is?"
Girl:…
The boy from the Su family said: "Su Shu, how could Mr. Feng fall in love with you? Do you know why I want to grab this place of 'leading the way for Mr. Feng'?"
Girl:…
The boy from the Su family said: "I saw that you were very good at robbing, and I knew what you were thinking, so I came to see you make a fool of yourself. It was just as I expected, hahaha."
Girl:…
Suddenly, the figure that disappeared from the boulder appeared again.
The Su family boy's smile froze...
Both of them were shocked.
Xia Ji said: "Thank you very much, Miss Su Shu."
After saying that, he turned back and left the mezzanine space where the Su family was.
…
call…
Huhu...
Several bubbles flew upwards and disappeared in an instant.
At the bottom of the cold, dark lake, the lake bed was filled with gravel and writhing aquatic plants. The fish looked sideways in shock among the grass, looking at a strange species that suddenly appeared under the water.
The water pressure was pushing from all directions, and every time I raised my hands or feet, there was a strong feeling of stickiness.
Xia Ji's whole body's true energy erupted, forcing the water around him to push away, and expanded to create a bubble.
Bubbles rose out of the water. Xia Ji looked around.
The vast expanse is covered with water, but there is only a piece of land in the distance to the east.
He took note of the surrounding terrain and quickly headed towards the landing site.
According to the map,
He passed through several villages and towns,
The strange thing is that many farmland houses in these villages and towns have been washed away. It is obviously the midsummer season with unfavorable weather and flooding.
There are many refugees on the road,
Many people are crying bitterly,
He saw them all.
When he encountered someone who was poisoned by water and was lying on the roadside with his child shaking his arms and shouting "Dad, you don't want to die", he would directly step forward, holding the judge's pen in his hand, and borrow the power of Yama's life and death in the void. Draw a life talisman and penetrate it into the body of the dying refugee, then listen to the baby's cry of surprise and leave silently.
When he encountered a family that was homeless and crying after their money was scattered, he casually grabbed a handful of broken gold from the space ring, threw it directly, and then walked away again listening to the sound of surprise.
Gold has no use in the aristocratic family. It is just a raw material for building garden fences. In the third heaven, gold accumulates like yellow sand and pebbles in the mortal world. No one cares about it at all, so he took a lot with him before leaving.
When he happened to be harmed by water bandits, he would pick a few leaves above his head, fill them with energy and shoot them far away.
As a result, many women who were caught by the water bandits saw that these cruel water kings suddenly had several gaps on their necks, and then they hugged their necks and screamed in pain, their eyes full of fear, as if They were looking around for who was taking action, but they couldn't find anyone, so they just fell to the ground.
The captured women struggled hurriedly, trying to escape from the tight rope, but as soon as they moved, they found that the rope had broken at some point.
The women looked around for a savior, but there was no one around.
Xia Ji had already gone far away.
He arrived at the outskirts of Juye City and punted to a floating manor. This was the manor that belonged exclusively to the Su family. All the "big dignitaries" around him were informed through various channels that "the owner of this manor is a A big shot, but this big shot likes peace and quiet in his life and should not be disturbed."
snap…
Before the boat docked, it was as if it had hit an invisible air shield, isolating everything from a distance. From this angle, everything inside seemed to be immersed in mist and could not be seen clearly.
"The family is indeed cautious in handling affairs, but it is naturally excellent to be able to allocate the emperor's master's residence."
Xia Ji was told the "key" by the owner of the family early on.
This "key" is a silently visualized "Double Dragons Playing with Pearls" pattern. Only the head of the family and him know it. Only in this way can the absolute mystery and safety of the Imperial Master be maintained. However, the manor that should have belonged to his enemy was taken advantage of by him. .
So, Xia Ji began to meditate, and soon resonated with the mysterious formation under the manor.
The air cover opens, allowing the boat to enter.
"This is a manor built according to the mysterious formation. If you don't know the key, you won't be able to enter."
The boat docked.
He entered the manor.
The style of the manor is different from that of the aristocratic family. It is not luxurious, but full of ultimate tranquility and beauty.
Lotus flowers blowing in the wind, willows on the lake, small bridges and flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, everything is a landscape like ink...
What's amazing is that even without a single servant, the manor here is spotless.
Xia Ji spent half a day getting familiar with the manor, then entered the bedroom and stayed for one night. Everything was normal.
So, he took out the mask of Chakravartin from Maitreya's storage space and began to set up the "transit station" to enter the underworld.
Then…
He crawled under the bed and entered the halfway house.
The underworld was extremely quiet and gloomy, but the strange waterfall of corpses I had seen that day was gone.
Xia Ji's bones and flesh changed, returning to his original appearance, and he quickly walked out of the "transit station" on the other side.
Arrive at the secret room of the palace.
He pushed the door open and went out, letting go of his consciousness, and breathed a sigh of relief. There was no trace of the war. In the distance, the Jinluan Palace was still holding its morning rituals step by step, and Xia Xiaosu's voice could still be vaguely heard.
So, he came to the imperial study room and began to wait quietly, flipping through the files on the bookcase and the memorials on the table.
I couldn't help but praise: "It's really careful."
Half an hour later,
Retreating from a distance.
Xia Xiaosu did not return immediately. She made an appointment with several ministers to explain things in the side hall. After everything was done, she breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the harem accompanied by four female attendants.
She had just walked to the arched door of the royal study room when one of the four maids suddenly changed her expression. She took a step forward and winked back.
The last two maids understood and hurriedly protected the queen from going back.
The leading female maid and another person stepped into the courtyard one after the other.
"Your Excellency is so brave, you dare to trespass into the forbidden areas of the palace."
Xia Ji was stunned for a moment, and then with a thought, he took out a black cloth from the storage space, covered his face directly, and then said in a low voice: "I just broke in, how about it?"
After saying that, he stepped on the ground and flew like a flying swallow. He easily opened the door of the house and rushed out, which was more than ten feet straight.
The waitress was shocked at how fast she was.
She reacted extremely quickly, and before she raised her hand, she had already grasped the long knife tightly. Before the knife was drawn out, a thought had turned into a phantom, rising from the body,
As her body leaned forward slightly, a blurry black figure was about to break free, and the cicadas chirping around them in midsummer became much quieter at this moment.
Although the other waitress could not show her shadow, she was surrounded by air currents, her long hair was moving without the wind, and she was full of impressive momentum.
Xia Ji roared loudly: "Queen, accept your fate!"
His body was like electricity.
The waitress felt anxious and drew the knife a little faster. The knife had already extended half a foot.
Snap.
Two soft clicks.
The two waitresses exclaimed, feeling that the backs of their hands were violently impacted by a "gentle force", and the backs of their hands actually showed spreading ripples in circles.
Clang! !
The sword that had only been extended for three points was pressed back instantly.
The shadow and momentum were broken in an instant.
But there was shock in the eyes of the two waitresses. How powerful is the person who can prevent them from drawing their swords from a distance of nearly a hundred feet
But they couldn't help but look weird, because they were not injured at all. This masked man didn't seem to have any malicious intent
Looking back again,
I saw that the masked man had already rushed in front of the queen and raised his hand to grab her.
brush!
Empty in one fell swoop.
Xia Xiaosu disappeared from where he was.
Xia Ji's Ran Deng Zen, which can see through all emptiness, was activated instantly, and his body instantly moved like lightning. Amid the exclamations of the girls, he appeared in a small pavilion three hundred meters to the right, raising his hand. In a moment, he grabbed the empty air in front of him.
With this grab, the queen wrapped in dragon robes was grabbed directly from the void.
At the same time, a noisy trigger sound came.
The illusion is shattered,
Xia Ji stretched out his hand to rub Xia Xiaosu's hair, but around him were hundreds of forbidden soldiers pointing their iron crossbows at him, solemnly and filled with cold murderous intent.
Xia Ji laughed in his original voice: "It's not bad, but I can't guard against the master."
Xia Xiaosu's originally calm eyes suddenly lit up. She stretched out her hand like a baby and hit the masked man in front of her on the arm. Her expressions were full of surprise and relaxation that the Imperial Army and the maid had never seen before.
"Everyone, stand down."
The Queen's voice regained its dignity.
The imperial guards and the maid immediately knew that they were acquaintances, but King Shenwu had disappeared for half a year. They couldn't think of it for a while, so with doubts, they sheathed their crossbows, stepped back, and disappeared.
In the pavilion, only King Shenwu and the Queen were left.
…
