After staring at Fu Shangqing for a few days, nothing unusual was found. In addition, County Master Jiayan had already prepared the things, so the two gave up and followed the people from the temple to Taichen Mountain.
This palace originally belonged to the Yijun Prince's mansion, and the Yijun King was imprisoned, and most of his property belonged to Jiayan County Lord. In a word from the county magistrate Jiayan, someone can handle it properly.
After Lu Mingshu changed his clothes, he came out of the wing room, and saw the door of the next room opened, and Xie Xingshen stepped out at the same time.
Seeing each other's appearance, he smiled all of a sudden, and his cheerful appearance was quite a bit of the shadow of the past.
"Old woman, you have gained weight!"
Lu Mingshu snorted: "Say it as if you're still handsome, old man!"
Among the alchemy books she got from Tianlun, there is a kind called Yi Xing Dan, which can change the appearance after taking it. Xie Xingchen now looks like an ordinary old man with a mole on his eyebrow. Lu Mingshu turned into an old lady with a thick waist. Anyone who looks at them now can't recognize who they are.
Hearing what she said, he smiled and said, "So you also think I'm handsome?"
Lu Mingshu rolled his eyes at him. When is it, still playing lip service.
"Let's go!" came a shout from outside.
The two looked at each other, walked out of the courtyard, and got into the cart with a group of people.
The Kirin Club is here, and County Lord Jiayan is of course qualified to watch the battle. In her capacity, it is nothing to bring dozens of people up the mountain.
The cart wobbled for a long time, arrived at Taichen Mountain, and turned to Feixian Palace.
At the same time, those Xuanmen disciples who came to participate in the Qilin Club also came to Taichen Mountain one after another. The Feixian Palace was bustling with people everywhere.
"There are more people than last time." Lu Mingshu commented while pretending to take care of the flowers and plants.
Xie Xing squatted nearby to loosen the soil: "Now that the Xuanmen Alliance has been established, the structure of Guxia is very different. Many new sects are eager to try and make a name for themselves. This Qilin meeting is their opportunity to test their edge."
Lu Mingshu nodded. Except for the three major sects that are currently unshakable, there must be some changes in the family of small and medium sects, but it is unknown who will rise and who will fall.
On the second day, the Kirin Club kicked off.
The new Zhongzhou Wang Shiyu appeared and announced the start of the Kirin Club.
The Queen Mother also appeared.
This time the Qilin will be better than last time, and the royal family is deserted again. The former king of Zhongzhou died, and the king of Yijun was imprisoned. There were only three seats in the main palace, the queen mother, Shi Yu, and Jiayan.
Xie Xingshen looked at Shi Yu, who was wearing royal clothes and looked very dignified, and felt relieved: "Shi Yu has grown up."
The last time Lu Mingshu saw Shi Yu was the little prince who acted like a baby beside the princess. Today's Shi Yu is already twenty-one, gradually losing his youthful spirit and becoming a young man. He looks like the former king of Zhongzhou, but between his brows, he can vaguely see the traces of the queen mother, and he is somewhat similar to Xie Xingshen.
He closed his eyes, but saw Xie Xingchen staring at the queen mother in a daze, his eyes were gentle and sad.
The queen mother's appearance has not changed much, and her mental state is also very good. It can be seen that she is doing well. But the determination that was once condensed and unexpressed has become gentle and kind, and it is heartbreaking.
Lu Mingshu didn't say anything, this kind of thing cannot be persuaded by others.
She looked towards Jiuyao Palace.
Compared with last time, Jiuyao Palace can be said to be the biggest winner. The last time it was located at the back, this time it was placed directly next to the Qizhen Temple. It seems that the two factions have formed a partnership to advance and retreat together.
A lot of people came from Jiuyao Palace. The leader is Fu Shangqing, the head of the sect, and then Yu Wenshi. The two fought fiercely when they were young, but now they are sitting side by side, and they seem to be quite happy - of course, Lu Mingshu knows that this is just the surface, everyone knows how much Master Yuwen wants to tear Fu Shangqing down.
Except for them, the rest are all newcomers. Kuai Xin, Xie Wenhan, Tan Yubing, Shao Zhengyang...
Not seeing An Tongchen and Gao Xiang, Lu Mingshu frowned. When she came back from Tianhai Pavilion, Gao Xiang hadn't seen anyone yet, so An Tongchen planned to go out to find her apprentice. Could it be that she hasn't found him for so long? If he found it, Gao Xiang should be fascinated. The Fusion Realm has already overwhelmed him once. This time, An Tongchen will definitely let him come to see and see.
After this incident, she happened to be going back to the Yaoxi mountain forest, so she should go back and have a look. If this is the case, we have to think of a way.
Speaking of which, she and Gao Xiang really made a mistake, the last time they parted from the mountain was during the Qilin meeting, and they hadn't seen each other for ten years.
"Wait a minute, look!" Lu Mingshu pulled him back.
"Huh?" Xie Xingshen looked at it intently and was taken aback, "Barbarians!"
On the other side of the circular mountain, there were actually many barbarians. The difference from last time was that most of the barbarians who came this time were quite high-level, and there were a few great witches among them. For example, the Great Witch Yaze seen in the Tomb of the Emperor.
"What's going on here? Why are there so many barbarians? Could it be that the two tribes have reconciled?" Lu Mingshu was puzzled.
After the shock, Xie Xing sighed deeply: "After all, we still took this step."
"What's the meaning?"
He said: "My mother had the intention before, to reconcile with the barbarians and rule the wilderness."
Lu Mingshu was stunned: "How can the barbarians accept Gu Xia's rule? Even the Human Emperor can't do it."
"It's not directly conquering, but supporting the tribes of the barbarians." He said, "The society of the barbarians is relatively simple, and the way of cultivation is also very rough. Compared with them, Gu Xia is much more advanced. First reconcile with the enlightened tribes of the barbarians, and use the ancient Xia's civilization to influence them, and then support them to annex other tribes... In the long run, these barbarians will integrate into ancient Xia and no longer be independent on the other side of Yinshan Mountain. However, it will take a long time to do so, and it may take several generations of Zhongzhou kings s hard work."
Lu Mingshu didn't expect the Empress Dowager's goal to be so ambitious. If this is done, the strength of this world will be further improved.
"What's more, who knows when the Yinshan incident will erupt again? That world is obviously much stronger than us. At this time, of course, we must unite all the forces that can be united. Winning over the barbarians is the best choice."
Lu Mingshu nodded. After the Demon Emperor incident, no matter Gu Xia or Dahuang, there is a sense of urgency, and no one knows when the crisis will come.
The fusion test has begun.
Sure enough, as they expected, there were sparks at the beginning. Compared with those ecstasy and transformation realms that were modified midway, these fusion realm disciples had a good time. Their cultivation base was not too high, so they introduced a new secret method, starting directly from the basics, and embarked on another more powerful path.
Some little-known sects took advantage of this shareholder wind and soared into the sky. However, some old sects with a solid foundation failed to keep up, and their strength plummeted.
After a few days of competition, it was both expected and unexpected. As expected, the layout has changed drastically, and it can no longer be viewed with old eyes. Unexpectedly, many of the emerging martial arts families have never heard of them before.
