Xuan Ye looked at the young man in front of him who was not outstanding in appearance, and had complicated feelings in his heart. If he didn't consider his background and appearance, Duan was of course the best choice for his daughter, but he still couldn't understand his stupid appearance. . But his daughter has already given up her heart to him, and I'm afraid even if she stops it, it won't have any effect, not to mention that she has already promised her daughter that she will not stop them. Thinking of Duan forcibly terminating the Nine Heavens God Thunder in the competition to save his face and life, Xuan Ye sighed, and said secretly. He said respectfully to the Pope: "Everything is up to the Pope."
The pope nodded at his son in satisfaction, turned his gaze back to Dumb, and said seriously: "Dai, logically speaking, it is impossible for you and Xuanyue to combine."
Hearing the Pope's words, Duan felt anxious immediately, and hurriedly said: "My lord Pope, Yueyue and I really love each other, so please help us."
The Pope smiled slightly and said: "What are you so anxious about, silly boy? I haven't finished my sentence yet. The reason why I said you can't combine is because you are not a priest. The priests of the Holy See, especially those who are as noble as Yueyue The red-clothed priest can only combine with the most loyal believers of the gods. However, you Tiangang Sword Sect doesn’t seem to be believers of the gods. Don’t worry, listen to me, although you are not a believer of the gods, but You are the savior sent by the gods to save the mainland. You can be said to be close to the gods, so I reluctantly agree to your request. However, if Yueyue disagrees, I can’t help you, Yueyue, would you like to Get engaged to Dumb and become his fiancée?"
Xuanyue's delicate body trembled slightly, and she turned her head to look at Ah-Dai, only to be greeted by his affectionate gaze, the scorching light burned Xuanyue's heart, and whispered: "I, I am willing."
A smile appeared on the pope's face, and said: "Oh, I'm old, my ears are bad, I didn't listen to what you said just now, it seems that you are so reluctant, it seems that you don't want to. Don't worry, Grandpa will never force you . Dumb, let me see..."
"No, no, I am willing, what I said just now is yes." Hearing that Grandpa wanted to reject Dumb, Xuan Yue hurriedly defended loudly.
The pope said: "So you are willing! You girl, this time you will have to try your wish." Except for Dumb and Xuanyue, everyone laughed loudly. Dumb looked at Xuanyue innocently, with nothing but happiness in his eyes Still happy. Xuan Yue buried her face in her breasts in embarrassment, wishing there was a crack in the ground for her to slip in.
Xi Wen poked dumb for a while, and said via voice transmission: "Hurry up and meet your father-in-law and grandpa."
Only then did Ah-Dai react, and he fell to his knees in front of the Pope and Xuan Ye with a plop, and said respectfully: "Dai-Dai pays respects to Grandpa and Father-in-Law."
The pope smiled and said: "Okay, get up quickly. Dumb, as long as you treat Yueyue well in the future, we will be satisfied."
Dumb hurriedly said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her, and I will protect her with my whole life, so that she will not be harmed in the slightest."
Xuan Ye said lightly: "Dai, you and Yueyue are engaged in front of the Pope today, you must come up with some engagement gifts." He still doesn't like Dui, although now he can only helplessly admit it, but still Can't help but make things difficult.
Duan was stunned for a moment after hearing Xuan Ye's words, and turned to look at his uncle. Xi Wen spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Who knew you were so eager to ask for marriage, I didn't prepare anything."
Xuan Yue's shyness has eased a bit, how could she bear to look at her beloved in embarrassment, and said to Xuan Ye: "Dad, he, he has already given me the engagement gift, look." His right hand exposed the ring of protection.
The Pope hadn't paid attention to the ring on Xuan Yue's hand all this time, and was taken aback under his careful gaze, "This ring seems to be a magic weapon!"
Xuan Yue nodded and said: "Yes! This is the low-level artifact guardian ring recorded in our Holy See classics. Dad, it's okay to use an artifact as an engagement gift."
Xuan Ye said angrily: "What an extroverted girl! You haven't married him yet, so you just try to speak nice things for him."
Xuan Yue argued: "What I said is the truth."
Duan suddenly remembered something, and chanted the spell of the blood of the dragon, and under the shining blue light, a dark green crystal flew into his hand. Duan held the crystal in front of the Pope and Xuan Ye, and said: "When I was studying art with my master in Tiangang Mountain, I once killed a ten thousand-year-old giant spirit snake, and the master took out two giant spirit snakes from it. Eye. I ate one, and I have been planning to give it to Yueyue, but I didn’t find a chance. Let’s use it and the guardian ring as my engagement gift to Yueyue.”
How could the precious Xuan Ye with the eyes of the giant spirit snake for thousands of years not understand? At this moment, he had nothing to say, and looked at the Pope helplessly and stepped aside.
Xuan Yue curiously picked up the crystal of the Giant Spirit Snake's Eye from Duan's hand, frowned and said, "I don't want to eat any snake's eyes, it's so disgusting."
Duan smiled and said: "This is a good thing for eyesight, and it has no strange taste. You can eat and see."
Xuan Yue glanced at Ah-Dai suspiciously, couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, frowned and sent the Giant Spirit Snake's Eye into her mouth. The green crystals turned into a stream of fragrant air and slid into her body, and a burst of hot air rose. Xuan Yue immediately felt extremely comfortable, and said in surprise: "It's really not bad!"
Dumb said: "Meditate well tonight, absorb its medicinal power completely, and you will feel the effect tomorrow."
The Pope said with a bitter face: "Dumb, you kid gave Yueyue such a precious engagement gift, I don't even know what to give you. There are only a few artifacts of the Holy See, and it seems that none of them are suitable for you."
Dumb hurriedly said: "No, no, for me, Yueyue is the best gift. You are willing to let her marry me, it is better than anything else, even if it is the most precious artifact, how can it compare to Yueyue?" ?”
Xuanyue's eyes turned red, and she whispered: "A-Dai." When her heart was full of affection, she no longer cared about being shy, and took the initiative to stick to A-Dai's side, and took his big hand.
The Pope said with satisfaction: "Okay, you didn't want it yourself, and I'm not stingy." His expression suddenly became serious, and he said to Dumb: "Although there is no grand engagement meeting for you today, I have already I betrothed my only granddaughter to you, and if you betray her in the future, I will never forgive you."
Dumb took Xuanyue's little hand, and solemnly said: "After the dark forces are eliminated, I will definitely make Yueyue the happiest bride."
The Pope said: "Okay, there is nothing else to do. You are leaving tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest. You must be more careful in the Death Mountain."
After saluting the Pope, everyone took their leave one after another. Since Ah-Dai was finally united with Xuan Yue, their steps to leave the Temple of Light seemed a lot easier. Watching them leave, Xuan Ye said to the Pope: "Father, entrusting these children with such a heavy task will put too much pressure on them. If they suffer any injuries, it will be difficult for us to explain to their elders! "
The pope sighed, and said, "Why don't I know that this is a very dangerous thing. However, there is no other way now. Dumb is the savior of the mainland, and now I can only hope that he can find The real lair of the dark forces. During the period when they are looking for the dark forces, you must step up and lead the priests to practice, and strive to improve their strength in a short time. If the entrance to the devil world in the Death Mountain is really It is the target of the dark forces, and the light magic will play a very important role."
Xuanye, Mangxiu, and Yuma respectfully said at the same time: "Yes, His Excellency the Pope."
After leaving the Temple of Light, Xuan Yue took the initiative to hold Ah-Dai's big hand. Amid the blessings of everyone, the two of them were filled with a sweet sense of happiness. After everyone's excitement passed, Rock said: "Our operation this time must be successful, and the dark forces cannot continue to run rampant."
Xuan Yue nodded, and said: "I only found out today that the Death Mountain is so scary. Back then we were really overwhelmed! If we really went to the Death Mountain when we first came to the elves, I'm afraid we would have already …”
Rock said: "Yueyue, don't be discouraged. We must have confidence. Only with the help of confidence can we win the final victory."
Keanu said with a bitter face: "Big brothers and sisters, you must help me! Yue Ji was crying and shouting yesterday and insisted on going to Death Mountain with me. After listening to the Pope's explanation today, how can I Dare to take her there! If there is something wrong with her, how can I explain to her brother, you must help me stop her. "
Duan smiled wryly and said, "Sister Yueji's temper is probably not so easy to stop. Keanu, I'm afraid you will have to ask for more blessings."
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Brother Keanu, just take Sister Yue Ji, I'll help you protect her."
Duan frowned and said: "Yueyue, don't talk nonsense, you heard the danger of the Death Mountain just now, we already have a lot of people on this trip, if we are a little negligent or the enemy is too strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of it, people It's better to have less."
Xuan Yue tightened Dumb's hand, and said: "Don't worry, I have a complete plan. Even if we can't find out the whereabouts of the headquarters of the dark forces, self-protection is still completely possible. As for how to protect yourself, you will know when the time comes Well, now I have to keep it a secret. Brother Keanu, just take Sister Yueji, and I will go ask Grandpa for an amulet again."
Keanu said with a bitter face: "Now that's all there is to it. I thank everyone here first. Yueji's cultivation level is still low. If there is any danger, everyone must help."
Duan glanced at Xuanyue with some blame. For everyone, Yueji's cultivation was really low, and the Death Mountain was so dangerous. He didn't want Yueji to participate in this operation, but Xuanyue He had already said enough, and he couldn't refuse anymore. I had no choice but to say to Keanu: "You don't need to say, everyone will protect Yue Ji, go back and have a good rest. We will be on the road tomorrow morning."
In the early morning of the next day, Dumb and his party set foot on the road to Death Mountain together with the team of elves. The Pope and several priests in red personally sent them to the outskirts of the sacred mountain of the Holy See, and after repeatedly telling them to pay attention to safety, they separated from everyone. Although the Death Mountain is dangerous, after Ah Dui and Xuan Yue reconciled, their hearts were full of confidence. Especially after the engagement, he was extremely satisfied, and now he just wanted to help the Holy See eliminate the Dark Sacred Church as soon as possible, so that he could marry his beloved Yueyue.
From the Holy See to the Death Mountain, it is necessary to pass through the entire territory of the Yalian tribe. In order to buy more time, everyone traveled very fast. At the end of the day, they traveled nearly a thousand miles. When the night gradually fell to the prairie of the Yalian tribe , they decided to stop and rest for one night before continuing on their way. The grassland is empty, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, especially now that it is November weather, with gusts of cold wind blowing in, bringing coolness to everyone.
Dumb scratched his head, looked around, and said, "I'm really sorry, I forgot something, and I'm driving on the prairie, how can I do without a tent! I'm afraid it will be colder at night."
Oliveira nodded and said, "Yes! The grassland of the Yalian tribe is so big that there is no shelter. I'm afraid it will be difficult tonight. If we had known earlier, we shouldn't be in a hurry. Just rest in that tribe." Keanu curled his lips and said, "What's the use of talking about it now, we've traveled hundreds of miles, so why not go back?"
The rock thought for a while, and said: "How about this, let's dig a big hole in the ground and rest in the hole, so that at least we can avoid the cold wind."
Xuan Yue shook her head and said: "This is not good. Even if we can avoid the wind, the temperature cannot be changed. Forget it, let's form a circle and make do with it. Anyway, it only takes one night. With our cultivation base, It shouldn't be a big problem, the big deal is to take turns to watch the night and use grudge or magic to resist the invasion of the cold current."
Dumb said: "Then let me come. Everyone is tired after driving for a day. I will use Shengsheng Zhenqi to lay a barrier, and you all have a good rest. Shengsheng Zhenqi has the characteristic of endless supply, so it shouldn't consume too much While talking, he suddenly found that some people in the crowd were not worried, and that was the elf clan headed by the elf princess. They all had smiles on their faces and stood there without saying a word.
Zhuo Yun walked up to Ah-Dai, smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, you don't need to set up an enchantment, Ah-Dai, have you forgotten the characteristics of our elf magic? We are the people closest to nature." Rock suddenly said : "Yes! Why didn't I think of it, but, can you use magic to create a tree house like the city of elves?"
Hearing what Shi Yan said, everyone immediately understood, and focused their attention on the elves and the group. Piaofei, the Great Elf Audi, stepped forward and said: "The prairie is one of the places with the most vitality on the mainland. Here our natural magic can play a considerable role. Just wait and see." Under the leadership, the elf envoys who are good at magic all flew up and chanted elf spells that everyone couldn't understand. Green light gradually rose from the elf envoys, and they formed a circle. A circular green halo appeared, and under Audi's command, the green halo fell on the grassland. Within the range covered by the halo, through the action of the natural magic of the elves, the green grass grew wildly, and the countless green grass leaves were entangled together. After a while, they turned into solid vines. Under Audi's command Next, a house of tens of square meters, made of green grass intertwined, appeared.
Xuan Yue sighed: "Elf magic is really amazing! This is incomparable to other magic, and I finally have a place to live tonight."
Since there are more than 20 people including Dumb and the elves, the elves made five identical houses before stopping. The five houses live next to each other. Because of the tangled grass leaves, it seems It turned out to be very solid, and it didn't shake at all under the blowing of the cold wind.
Audi said: "Okay, now that we have a place to live, everyone can rest in peace. The tree house made of green grass is pretty solid, and I added a barrier around the periphery to fix it. Even if the night wind is strong, it can't You can blow it. Let’s rest after eating some dry food, so we can continue our journey tomorrow.” After speaking, he directed the elves to enter two huts, and left the other three to Duan and the others.
The eight people of Duan decided after division. Duan, Xuan Yue, and Oliveira lived in one room, Brother Rock and Zhuo Yun lived in one room, and Keanu and Yue Ji lived in one room.
"No, I won't live with that stupid goose." Yue Ji said dissatisfied.
Xuan Yue laughed and said: "Dumb goose? This title is also very suitable for Dumb! Sister Yueji, don't you want to live with Keanu? Don't tell me you are too shy."
Yue Jiqiao blushed, and said in a whisper: "He is not married to him, how can he live alone with him? Yueyue, let's live together, let the three of them live together."
Xuan Yue turned her head to look at Ah-Dai, and gave a questioning look. Ah-Dai naturally didn't want to separate from her, but he was the leader of this trip after all, so she had no choice but to nod her head and said, "Okay then, let Brother Keanu Let’s change with Yueyue. Let’s go to bed earlier. There may be some wild beasts on the grassland, so everyone should wake up when they are resting at night to avoid accidents.”
It was dark at night, and everyone rested after eating dry food. Dumb sat cross-legged in his tree house. In order to protect the safety of everyone, he did not enter the state of meditation, but sat there with his mind to adjust the breath and the vitality filled in the body, spreading the spiritual sense to the largest extent, and inquiring Look at the situation around the thatched cottage. He clearly heard the sounds of the elves sleeping soundly, and the sound of the wind blowing the grass, and his heart suddenly fell into silence. After a day's journey, he was also a little tired, and his mind gradually became hazy. Just as he was about to fall asleep, suddenly, an extremely powerful breath broke into the scope of his spiritual sense. Dumb was taken aback, opened his eyes suddenly, and focused his thoughts on the direction where the powerful breath appeared. That powerful aura was approaching at an incomparable speed. Because he didn't know whether it was the enemy or the superior, Dumb cautiously floated out of the tree house, and floated up to the roof under the influence of his true energy, staring at the direction where the powerful aura appeared.
A fiery red light appeared within Duan's field of vision. He was startled, and looked intently, only to see that a figure seemed to be wrapped in that fiery red light. It was not magic, but fighting spirit, which was extremely powerful Although it was still hundreds of meters away, Duan could already feel the heat of the red ball of fighting energy, and thought in his heart, it was so strong.
The red glow suddenly subsided, and a black shadow pierced the night sky and floated over like lightning. He had obviously spotted Dumb, and rushed forward, flying straight towards the tree house. Duan was afraid that he would affect everyone who was resting, so he mobilized the fighting spirit in his body and went up to him. When he was still about 50 meters away from the black shadow, the red light on the black shadow flashed again, and a fireball-like grudge brought a stream of light and went straight to Dumb's chest. A cold light flashed in Ah-Dai's eyes, his right hand cut out like lightning, and the silver light disappeared, and the ball of fire was instantly split into two, and it was dissolved invisibly under the effect of vigor. After receiving the opponent's attack, Ah-Dai couldn't help but feel puzzled. The vindictiveness that the opponent attacked just now was not strong. Even Brother Rock can easily follow it. It can be seen from his forward movement and the energy and skill contained in himself. It shouldn't be just this level! Just when he was wondering, the other party had already charged ten meters in front of him, the forward momentum was suddenly stopped, and it just seemed to violate the law of inertia and stagnated in mid-air. Dumb looked intently, and saw that the other party was an old man, an old man without any peculiarities, wearing a very ordinary cloth robe, and staring at Dumb with some dirty eyes. It seemed that this old man seemed a little familiar, but Duan couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
The old man didn't speak, and while looking at Dumb, he touched his waist, conjured up a wine gourd, opened the lid of the gourd, and drank happily. Judging by the way he drank it, it seemed as if he wanted to drink up the whole gourd wine in one go. After taking several sips in a row, the old man stopped, and said to Ah-Dai: "Come on, kid, you can drink some too." As he said that, with a flick of his wrist, the wine gourd made an arc and hit Ah-Dai. Dumb's heart trembled, because the energy contained in this wine gourd was many times stronger than the previous fireball. Raising his right hand, Dapeng's vicious strands of fighting energy floated out. These strands of fighting energy did not directly entangle the wine gourd, but passed by the side of the wine gourd like lightning, making a fierce friction sound with the wine gourd. The wine gourd still rushed forward, and because of the impact of the fighting spirit, it spun rapidly. When the wine gourd flew in front of Ah-Dai, Ah-Dai said lightly: "Senior, I am not very interested in wine, you should enjoy it by yourself Go." He didn't touch the wine gourd, and in the rapid rotation, the wine gourd drew an arc in front of him and flew back towards the old man.
The old man's filthy eyes suddenly lit up, a red light flashed in his hand, he grabbed the wine gourd back, nodded, and said, "Okay, boy, you are good at it! I want to ask you a question. You have to be honest Answer me. In the Empire of the Setting Sun, there appeared a god of death who killed countless people, do you know him?"
Dumb's heart moved, thinking to himself, what is he looking for? Could it be that the Sunset Empire sent him to kill him? No, no, I'm afraid I can't find such a master in the entire Sunset Empire. Although there was no formal fight, Duan clearly felt that this old man was not easy to deal with. He said flatly: "Senior, what do you want to do with Death?"
The old man took another sip of wine, hehe smiled and said: "Of course something happened. I want to settle a settlement with him. I heard that this god of death is a third-generation disciple of the Tiangang Sword Sect, and his skill is not weak. It seems that he is called Dumb Yes. Seeing that the Dou Qi you used just now is not the Shengsheng Dou Qi of the Tiangang Sword Sect, but it also evolved from Shengsheng Dou Qi, I think, you should be that dumb one."
Dumb's thoughts turned, and he thought: This old man has such sharp eyes! Only from his two quick shots, he recognized that he was a member of the Tiangang Sword Sect. Whoever he is, since he came to find him, then he can take it. Thinking of this, Ah-Dai suddenly felt proud, nodded and said: "Yes, I am Ah-Dai, a third-generation disciple of the Tiangang Sword Sect. May I ask what advice you can give me, Senior."
The old man played with the wine gourd in his hand, and said sarcastically: "How dare you be an instructor, you are the majestic god of death, the god of death who has killed countless people. God of death, what a majestic name, hum!" His last snort caused a wave of sound, shaking Dumb's ear drums hurt, and he hurriedly urged him to fight with his true energy. Dumb saluted slightly, and said: "Senior, please express your intention for coming. I don't seem to have offended you."
"That's right, you haven't offended me, but your cruel methods amazed me a lot! I don't care if you kill people in the Sunset Empire, and those guys deserve to die anyway. But, you shouldn't bully I came on the head and killed my disciple. Let me ask you, did Tiro die in your hands, and you tortured him to death."
Dumb was shocked, he finally knew the identity of this old man, Tilo's master, isn't that the Northern Sword Master Fultu? His ranking among the Four Juggernauts is even higher than Harry. He came looking for himself because he came here for revenge. It seems that he can't be kind today. Duan's face darkened, and he said coldly: "If you want to avenge Tiro, then you are right. Yes, I killed him, and it was a brutal killing. However, he deserved his death. As you His master didn't fulfill his duty of discipline, I also want to ask you to argue?"
Hutu laughed loudly, "Death is what you deserve, yes, well said." His eyes flashed coldly, and the burning red fighting spirit surrounded his body, "Even if my apprentice is wrong, I don't need your Tiangang sword Pai meddling, even if he dies, he should leave his whole body. Boy, you are so cruel, you are so cruel to me. For Diss's sake, as long as you take my three moves today, I will temporarily Let you go, go directly to the Tiangang Sword Sect to find him for an argument. If you can't handle it, you can't blame me if you die." At this point, he swung his right hand suddenly, and a surge of red douqi rushed towards him.
Duan was just about to accept the move, when he suddenly remembered the four skulls, frowned, and urged Corris' wish to shift to another direction in an instant, and Fultu's punch immediately hit the air. "I'm not afraid of you, Senior Sword Master of the North. I don't think I did anything wrong in the case of Tiro. I'm on good terms with your other four apprentices, and I don't want to be your enemy. Please think again."
Falcon suddenly saw that Dumb dodged his own move so easily, he couldn't help being startled, he didn't continue to attack, and said coldly: "Did you kill my apprentice and still say you won't be my enemy?"
Dumb said: "I said, Tilo should die. If I had to choose again, I would do the same thing again. Senior, the mainland is now in dire crisis because of the threat from the dark forces. You With such a high level of cultivation, why should you be obsessed with hatred, you should do something for the common people in the world."
Falcon said violently: "I don't care about things on the mainland, and I don't want to care about them. Originally, I lived a peaceful life, but you killed my apprentice and broke this peace. Boy, don't take chances, I am I won't let you go. This is the second time we've met. When I first met you, I had a crush on you, but I didn't expect you to become my murderer."
Duan was taken aback, and said, "Have we really met? No wonder I think you look familiar."
Falcon sneered, and said: "Of course I have, otherwise how could I recognize you at a glance. Have you forgotten what happened at the headquarters of the Magicians Union in Guangming City, Guangming Province a few years ago?"
Dumb's heart moved, and he immediately recalled the original scene. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he lost his voice: "Ah! Are you the old man who guards the gate? You, how could you..."
The falcon snorted suddenly, and said: "I am willing. I lost the bet with that old man of your ancestor, and promised him to guard the gate of the Magician Union before the forthcoming fourth sword master competition. There , no one knows my identity at all. Although I was a little upset at the beginning, I lived a leisurely life when I arrived. The wine in Guangming City is still very good. But, my leisurely life was broken by you. Boy, you Don’t expect to be spared today.” It turned out that when the Four Great Sword Masters discussed swords last time, Hutu felt that his cultivation had improved a lot, so he made a bet with the Tiangang Sword Master that the Tiangang Sword Master would not be able to win within a hundred moves he. Their bet was that the loser had to promise the other one thing, and the result can be imagined. At the time of the ninety-seventh move, the Tiangang Sword Master defeated Hutu. He didn't want Hutu to do anything. He casually told him to go to the Magicians Union to guard the gate. It was just a joke at the time, but Hutu took it seriously and went to guard the gate. He didn't just stay there all the time. Whenever he was bored, he wandered around the mainland and took in several apprentices one after another. And Tilo was the last one he accepted. Not long ago, he suddenly got the news that his registered disciple Tilo had been tortured and killed. Falcon has always defended his weaknesses, and immediately left the Mainland Magician's Union, found the dead Mica Governor's subordinates in the Tianjin Empire, and asked about Duan's appearance and figure. However, after all, he doesn't often walk on the mainland, so how can he find Dumb? So, he thought of his disciples who organized the mercenary group, found the four skeletons himself, and told them about it. From Hutu's description, the Four Skulls immediately recognized that the person who killed their junior brother was Dumb. Because Iron Skull was jealous that Ice Skull liked Dumb, he told Hutu about Dumb. Under Hutu's order, they inquired about the fact that Dui had destroyed the priest's wedding and made a fuss in the Holy See. Falcon rushed to the Holy See day and night, but Dumb and the others had just left. He got the news from a judge who hated Dumb that Dumb and the others were going to the Death Mountain, so he chased after him. At last he was found at night.
