"Brother, you asked me to knock on the door of the secret room if you have anything to do. I knocked many times but you didn't respond. What happened?"
Xia Ji looked at his sister who was almost "reborn" and shook his head, "I am too devoted to seclusion."
"Liar."
The Queen said, "I quietly went in and took a look, but you were not in there at all."
Xia Ji rubbed her hair and said with a smile: "Not bad, you will try me again. In fact, during these days I..."
"Brother, stop talking. Just come back safely."
The Queen stopped the topic, then stood up and said, "See if Gu has grown taller?"
Xia Ji did not stand up, but looked at her feet, which were a pair of high heels. He nodded: "Higher."
The Queen rolled her eyes.
Xia Ji affirmed: "It's really high."
The Queen rolled her eyes and returned, and then suddenly said: "Come with me, I have two things for you."
The two came to the imperial study room.
Xia Xiaosu pushed open the mechanism, revealing a hidden small pavilion. The small pavilion was brightly lit, and the Queen turned her head and waved: "Come."
There are a bunch of portraits spread out on the table in the small pavilion...
Xia Xiaosu looked strange and said: "These are sent by the powerful people in the North for marriage. If you are willing to take them into the harem, then their fathers will join us... I have seen them, they are all beautiful.
These people also threatened me, saying that if you don't accept their daughter, they will defect to the south. "
Xia Ji:? ?
This kind of abnormal behavior makes it obvious that someone is causing trouble. Who else could it be besides the Su family
Could it be the eldest princess
Thinking of Su Yueqing, he couldn't help but wince, but then he thought about it. The eldest princess said "she doesn't want to face King Shenwu", so it was the head of the family or other princes, right
Xia Ji walked back and forth for two steps. During this time in the Su family, he stayed with the old yin for a long time, and the corresponding attributes were also improved. He suddenly thought of the eldest princess saying, "The Su family will send people from the eleventh realm to kill "He", "The Su family knew that he was looking for the aristocratic family everywhere",
If this is the case, then this marriage strategy may be a delaying strategy that confuses his mind, in order to delay the coming of the fire disaster and delay the promotion of family masters.
In this case, the important point is not actually to agree to the marriage or not to agree to the marriage, because no matter whether to agree to the marriage or not, it will not cause any hindrance to the family's behavior.
So, the best way is to drag.
In this way, the purpose of the aristocratic family is achieved, the purpose of the powerful people not to want to marry is also achieved, and there is no need to face marriage. This is the best solution to the problem.
Xia Ji's eyebrows were calm, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Xiaosu.
The Queen looked at him strangely...
"Brother, what do you see me doing?"
Xia Ji was speechless.
He couldn't help but wonder, had he and the eldest princess made too much eye contact during this period that he didn't even want to say anything
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Xia Xiaosu said: "Brother, I think you have changed a bit after being out for half a year."
"Have it?"
"It's become overcast..." Xia Xiaosu said decisively, then she thought for a while and continued, "I think the reason why the powerful people took this action was because of the instructions of the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family may have done this to check and balance the situation between the north and the south. .”
The two think from different angles, but they reach the same goal by different paths.
Xia Ji said: "Let's hold off for now. Anyway, I haven't shown up yet, so you just said I'm in retreat."
The Queen nodded, said "Okay", and then said, "Brother, I also have an ancient book for you. It's a very old one. You will definitely like it."
As she spoke, she carefully took out a wooden box.
The wooden box is opened,
An ancient book appears,
The cover says [The Way of Supreme Pure Brightness].
Xia Ji opened it and saw the opening chapter: Wonderful Yuan Shi Dao, the Great Brahma spreads the true text. The Dragon-Han Tribulation will be opened, and the glory will shine. The Book of Thirty-Two Heavens, Biography of the Five Lao Deficits. Treat life and death with kindness, flourishing and emitting auspicious clouds.
As his eyes swept across, a mysterious Taoist thought poured into his heart, seeming to condense into skill beads.
He closed the book and said, "I like it."
Xia Xiaosu smiled, "It was given to me by an old Taoist priest. He said that if you practice it, you can be free from desires, ascend freely, go to the paradise of caves, and no longer be burdened by the imperial power. I accepted the book, but I didn't agree to it."
Xia Ji asked curiously: "What kind of Taoist priest?"
Xia Xiaosu said: "An old Taoist in sackcloth holding a stick and wearing no shoes said that I was kind-hearted and the people in the city I governed lived and worked in peace and contentment, so he didn't want to see me lose my life in this troubled world, so he came here specially. He came to me and asked me to follow him to the Taoist cave heaven to practice Taoism and seek immortality in a year."
"This is a Taoist priest with good moral principles," Xia Jida said, "Xiao Su, the killing calamity has arrived. Coming from the west, within three years, he will surely enter the Middle Kingdom, and the imperial capital will be the first to bear the brunt.
Next, there will definitely be many Turks, Quanrong, Guifang, and other small countries pouring in from Fenglang Pass. This is the first disaster. "
Xia Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. Since her brother said so, it would definitely happen. She was silent for a moment and asked, "What is the murder?"
"Fire Tribulation."
Xia Ji told her everything about the murder and robbery, but he didn't mention a word about the Su family and his life experience.
After saying that, Xia Ji added: "Don't worry too much. When it is really necessary, I can take you away."
Xia Xiaosu received a lot of information and was digesting it. He didn't ask any more questions and just said "Okay."
Xia Ji took out a silk scarf from his arms. This silk scarf was a space prop that he made using Maitreya Zen last night. There were one string of Tathagata rosary beads from the "Binding Palm Mountain Kingdom" in it, and there were also burning lamps. Lamp, mask of King Chujiang.
He handed it to the Queen and spent a lot of time explaining its purpose to her. This set of tools can be said to be capable of single combat, AOE, invisibility, escape, and inheritance.
Xia Xiaosu was dumbfounded when she saw it...
With this set of tools, she transformed into a master with deep hidden cards.
These things can easily make a weak person stronger, which seems unreasonable, but which one of them was not obtained by Xia Ji's hard work
As for the hell mask, he can only use it after he has purified those evil souls. Using it directly will only result in being snatched away by the evil souls.
Xia Xiaosu tried to wear the mask of King Chu Jiang, and the inheritance he received was [Ice Sword Prison].
Xia Ji took her to set up a transfer station in the imperial study room. If there was an assassination or emergency, she could immediately run to the underworld to take refuge.
in this way…
It can be regarded as solving the worries.
Unless something extremely serious happens,
Nothing will happen to my little sister.
The aristocratic family only wants to exclude themselves and will not touch the queen who is the grindstone for the future king.
Xia Ji called Hu Xian'er again, gave some instructions, and told her that if a special situation occurred, she must immediately call him through the "skin scroll contract". Even if there are no special circumstances, you still need to tell him that you are safe every day.
Xia Ji originally wanted to see Ning Xiaoyu again, but Xiaoyu was giving lessons to the generals, so he had to give up.
After taking care of everything...
Xia Ji then passed through the underworld again, transformed into a second body, and returned to the manor on the lake where he was the only one.
Although I don't want to admit it, being able to dominate the fire disaster for five hundred years does not mean that I can stop it from outside the city with a mouthful of blood, so... Huangdu is likely to be breached, and this place will make myself and Xiao Su The last, most dangerous, and safest place to stay.
Spread out [The Way of Supreme Pure Brightness] and recite it quietly.
After a long time, a dark golden skill bead appeared in front of Yuanshen: [Jingming Dao Technique].
"use."
Just a thought...
The skill beads are broken,
The deep golden growth flowed through his body, and the understanding of this technique also came to his mind.
Xia Ji digested it for a while,
He has understood,
This is a comprehensive Taoist inheritance,
Scattered,
Including many spells,
For example, the "paper-cutting technique" can turn into paper soldiers and paper animals, which do not eat or drink, are invulnerable and can be manipulated at will.
For example, the "talisman method" can summon the gods of wind, thunder, rain and lightning to provide help, but Xia Ji tried it, but it seems that he can't recruit anyone now. It can be seen that the gods in the sky are either dead, or still sleeping, or... the time has not come yet. .
Such as "illusion".
Another example is the "Qi Swallowing Sword Technique", which allows you to swallow a mouthful of the Qi of heaven and earth to make the weapon more powerful.
There are also some scattered methods.
None are particularly profound, but none of them are simple.
Xia Ji had the idea of giving it a try.
I took the yellow paper and cut out little people, birds, fish, cows and horses, snakes and pythons, etc...
White and yellow lead to yang, and red paper leads to yin, so they should not be confused.
After cutting, he recited a spell silently, blew on the paper people, and then looked at them quietly.
The paper man lying on the table suddenly moved strangely, then got up, with a strange smile on his face, and a black aura emanating from his body.
Xia Ji casually grabbed the little man and threw it into the storage ring. He did a lot of things in one breath and was basically successful.
"It's still midsummer, and there's still half a year before deep winter."
Xia Ji looked at the scorching sky, took a moment to tidy up, then walked onto the boat moored on the shore, held up his bamboo pole to block the water ripples, and went away.
"This half a year can't be wasted. Maybe this is the only half a year that can allow me to escape the world for once."
in this way,
It’s not like I have traveled through time and came to this world.
Xia Ji had pride in his heart, so he grabbed a jar of fine wine, leaned back on the boat, drifted with the current, and then drank the sweet wine, floating in the water and into the sky.
He remembered that before he left the Su family, Su Yueqing asked him to come to the world and go to Wucun to find a family.
She said that she had received some kindness from this family when she was in the human world, and asked Xia Ji to help as much as possible, and Nawu Village was not too far away from here.
…
…
Wucun,
It's a small fishing village,
The population is only a few thousand people.
An Xun is from the village.
The little girl is eighteen years old this year.
She is pretty, and the young men in the village always say that she does not look like a fisherman, but looks like the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in the city, with the same good temperament as her sister.
An Xun's sister has been missing for twelve years.
An Xun was only six years old that year, and her sister suddenly disappeared. From then on, her life and death were uncertain. She was heartbroken. She cried and ran on the beach, and her soles were punctured by broken shells in the gravel without knowing it.
Every summer, she would sit on a boulder by the seaside, hugging her knees, looking into the distance, looking forward to her sister's return.
She has been watching for twelve years, but her sister has not come back.
Suddenly a voice came from behind:
"An Xun, be careful, don't sit on the beach."
A bare-chested young man with a thick belt around his waist and a strong build ran over. Looking at the beautiful back, the young man's heart skipped a beat. His name was Wu Lian, and he was the youngest son of the village chief of Wucun.
An Xun didn't look at him, and didn't want to talk to him.
Wu Lian supported the stone she was sitting on with her hands and said, "There have been floods everywhere recently, and there are also typhoons on the sea. It is said that the dragon monster is causing trouble."
"Nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. Many villages in the south have been flooded. If you cross the Fenghe Bridge and walk further, you will see that they are all refugees who are not allowed outside Juye City and are not allowed to enter the city. There are many, many people there. .
Moreover, the third uncle and the fourth uncle no longer go fishing. "
"Over the years, there have been many typhoons."
"An Xun, this time is different."
The girl hugged her knees and said nothing. Her sister's last words before disappearing were, "Yesterday I saw a colorful shell on the beach. I went to pick it up and show it to you." At that time, she was crying loudly. Her sister was trying to make her happy. The results are gone forever.
An Xun lowered his head.
Wu Lian suddenly said: "Your sister has been swept away by the sea!"
An Xun bit his lip.
Wu Liandao: "An Xun, don't deceive yourself. She will not come back. People in our fishing village die at sea every year. She is just unlucky."
"roll!"
Like an angry little leopard, An Xun raised her hand to push the young man. Her strength was so great that the young man was caught off guard and staggered, falling backwards on the beach.
Wu Lian immediately became angry, his temper became fierce, and he shouted: "Can you stop going crazy!"
An Xun looked at him coldly.
Wu Liandao: "You are only beautiful when you don't speak."
An Xun didn't look at him, and slid down the stone from the other side, his back bleakly walking away into the distance.
Wu Liandao: "What are you doing? I just told you the truth."
An Xun still ignored him.
Wu Lian yelled a few more words, his voice getting louder and louder. Suddenly he rushed behind the girl and pushed hard on the girl's back with both hands.
Where did An Xun receive such a force? She immediately fell forward heavily and fell into the sand. Her clothes were all dirty. The tide spread and rolled up, soaking her dress.
Wu Lian said angrily: "You pushed me first, and you are unreasonable. I came to comfort you with good intentions, and you want me to get out?"
An Xun sighed, and she sat in the tide.
Wu Lian looked at it for a while, then left cursing.
He only took a few steps,
His face changed drastically,
He screamed in disbelief: "Oh my God."
Strong winds and tsunamis came from afar, covering the sky and the sun. All the light seemed to be swallowed up, and the figure of an evil dragon could be vaguely seen in the black and blue water.
Wu Lian didn't care about the girl, so he ran away.
An Xun raised his head and looked at the tsunami. The waves piled up, one after another, as if they were trying to climb up the sky, lapping from a distance. Even if he looked up, it was difficult to see the top of the waves. He didn't know how many meters high they were.
She sighed and hugged herself tightly.
Whisper softly:
"elder sister… "
Snapped! ! ! !
The tsunami crashed down.
An Xun did not feel any pain, but only felt that he was being hugged by someone.
She opened her eyes quickly,
She was indeed being held;
But it wasn't Wu Lian who hugged her, let alone anyone she knew.
It was a boy about the same age as her.
Although they are similar in age, this young man exudes strange courage.
The sea breeze roared, and the demonic shadow of the dragon spirit danced wildly, mingling with his gray hair.
The young man looked at peace, stepping on the tsunami step by step,
He always steps on the top of the waves, walking on flat ground.
