The distant sky is blue and the Black Sea is silent.
The vast black ocean is as quiet as a dead object. If nothing outside disturbs it, the tranquility will last forever.
Crash-
The waves split, and a crack like a canyon divided the sea level. A woman and a man jumped out one after another.
Zhu Qilan's eyes were full of disbelief. During the high-speed flight, he looked back at Lu Bei several times.
After witnessing Lu Bei force himself to take advantage of opportunities three times in a row, she was surprised to find that she had underestimated Lu Bei's aptitude for cultivation after measuring him several times.
If he was not the destined person of the White Tiger Sect, and knew that opportunity and fate were closely related, and that if there was opportunity, there was opportunity, and if there was not opportunity, there was not opportunity. Zhu Qilan could not help but doubt whether such an illusory opportunity could really be forced.
Since it has nothing to do with chance, there can only be one explanation.
Lu Bei's talent is rare in the world. Even if the opportunity has nothing to do with him, he can still get a glimpse of it with his own talent.
Where did the emperor find this monster
With such talent, even the imperial tutor is not as good as him.
Suddenly, Zhu Qilan's expression changed.
Even if the family members are dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for them, they will only try their best to refuse it and will not associate it too much with it.
As the eldest princess, she shared the honor and disgrace of the royal family and had to think carefully and consider the deeper meanings behind all appearances.
Arranging such a talented person to lurk around her is a bit of a waste of talent.
What does the emperor's younger brother mean? Is he willing to gamble and refuse to admit defeat, and is he trying to turn the tables? Or is he really thinking about her and has found a good match for her that he thinks is excellent
Or maybe, the royal family and the Huangji Sect were fighting openly and secretly, and had reached the point of going to war.
The royal brother was in an extremely disadvantaged situation with no hope of recovery. In order to protect his blood relative, or to be more precise, to protect her, he specially found a young monk with a talent selected from a million to serve as her future support
Zhu Qilan's face changed. He didn't want to continue looking at Lu Bei. He decided to set off for the capital as soon as he finished exploring the secret realm and get to the bottom of everything.
Behind, Lu Bei, who was following Zhu Qilan, was also lost in thought. He kept his mouth shut, which was unusual for him. He did not talk nonsense, which would have troubled Zhu Qilan's already fragile Dao heart.
[Xuanwu Gang Lv5 (1w/100w)]
Skill 'Xuanwu Gang', Xuanwu, the mysterious dark in the north, is Ren and Gui water. Ren water is surging and exciting, while Gui water moistens things silently, benefiting all things without competing.
Active skill, used for defense.
As the saying goes, the thickest armor you wear, the heaviest blow you receive.
The new skill looked unlucky, which made Lu Bei quite unhappy. Then, problems arose.
Is it better for him to stack armor and take the hits, or use his sword body to take the enemy's damage, experiencing the pain and pleasure until he awakens some strange physique
When faced with a worse situation, he chose to use his sword to resist.
Putting aside the strange physique, upgrading the sword body is real experience.
To be an immortal, you need to earn experience, no shame!
The place of opportunity of Xuanwu Gate is located in the deep ocean, which is difficult to invade by wind. Lu Bei, holding the Princess's tool, inevitably wasted several hours in searching.
As for the [Dao Jing of the Northern Mysterious Lord] technique, as expected, it required the Northern Black Tortoise fate and 100,000 skill points, which he decisively ignored.
It could neither be destroyed nor practiced. When he thought that in the future some lucky guy would obtain the supreme martial arts, and his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, and he would reach the peak of his life, he felt unhappy and almost got angry.
What's even more frustrating is that after observing the Northern Constellation Map, I only comprehended a new skill, 'Xuanwu Gang', and none of my original skills were upgraded. I couldn't find a place to use the experience books I picked up.
Full of malice, and being targeted.
Lu Bei finally saw clearly that any creature with two heads was a bad thing.
Except himself.
After three visits to the gates, based on Lu Bei's understanding of the Five Elements, Eight Diagrams, and Heavenly Stems, he can determine that the opportunity in the Suzaku Gate is the Southern Red Bird Dao Sutra.
To be more polite, it's the Southern Red Queen's Great Dao Sutra, or the Southern Flame Queen's Great Dao Sutra.
And after he passes through the last portal, he will gather the four spirits and four symbols and become a Taoist with the Azure Dragon on the left, the White Tiger on the right, the Vermillion Bird in front, and the Black Tortoise behind.
I feel like there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.
These are not the key points. The key lies in the Eastern Azure Dragon (Jia and Yi wood), the Southern Vermillion Bird (Bing and Ding fire), the Western White Tiger (Geng and Xin metal), and the Northern Black Tortoise (Ren and Gui water). The central Wu and Ji earth are missing from the ten heavenly stems, so the number of days is definitely incomplete.
It goes against common sense.
Lu Bei estimated that there was still a door in the secret realm of the Four Gods Lake that had not been discovered, or it had never appeared in the world at all and was still dormant.
A new question arises: who is the mud-legged beast sitting in the central Wu Ji
Yinglong or Qilin
It can't be a Pixiu, right
Bang!
After rear-ending Zhu Qilan, Lu Bei came to his senses from his deep thought, took two steps back and glared back.
Are those two tail lights of your car just for decoration? You don’t even turn on the brake light. Do you have any sense of public morality
Also, couldn’t you avoid it? Why didn’t you? Are you trying to take advantage of me
Bah, so cheap!
Zhu Qilan stopped in front of the Suzaku Gate. His mind had already flown to the capital. He was too lazy to argue with Lu Bei. He treated the slight physical friction as a dog bite and said coldly, "The last Suzaku Gate may have been taken by someone. I don't want to waste too much time. We will go back and forth within one day, and then disband on the spot. You and I will go our separate ways."
"no problem."
Lu Bei nodded. It was useless to be stubborn. Zhu Qilan really knew Huangji Sect better than him.
In the first three portals, except for the encounter with Zhu Bangbo and others in the White Tiger Land, the rest were all single-player, and not a single shadow of a Huangji Sect disciple was seen.
It goes without saying that these disloyal but patriotic members of the Zhu family all went to Suzaku Gate.
It's no wonder that the Wu Zhou Dynasty revered the phoenix and the phoenix, both of which were birds flying in the sky and all of which had red feathers. They were more or less related to the Vermillion Bird's fate. Maybe there really are people with the Vermillion Bird's fate who have learned the Great Dao of the Southern Red Bird.
If that were the case, it would be a lot of fun.
According to Zhu Qilan and what Lu Bei saw with his own eyes, the Huangji Sect was not a united front. The elders would only work together when facing pressure from the royal family. The superficial brotherhood extended to the lower levels. The disciples of the Zhu family from various factions were hostile to each other and shouted at each other to be their servants.
Why can you, kid, obtain the magical power that I can’t
If I can't destroy the martial arts, can I not destroy you
Judging from his own experience, Lu Bei guessed that the civil war in Suzakumen was already over, and that the soldiers from several factions were either dead or injured, with only the elderly, the weak, and the children left, so it was just right for him to pick up the heads.
…
The sun is shining brightly and the yellow sand is everywhere.
The boundless desert has no end in sight. The hot wind blows with a burning and stinging sensation, stirring up wisps of sand as if to squeeze out every last drop of water vapor.
Lu Bei stood in the desert, looking silently at the sea of sand. The sun was shining brightly, scorching the air and making it wrinkle. The sand was so hot that it burned his feet.
"Cousin, what a big sun, what do you think?"
There is a sun in the secret realm, which is really outrageous. If the information is correct, that is where the opportunity of Suzaku lies.
Suddenly, a long black snake jumped out from the cracks in the sand, opened its mouth, aimed at Lu Bei's snow-white and clean neck, and bit it hard.
The attack was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Bei had an extra pendant on his body.
Ding~~
The black poisonous snake moved its mouth and tried several times with its hollow fangs, but failed to penetrate the thick skin. After landing, it obediently crawled into the cracks in the sand and disappeared in a flash.
Lu Bei didn't bother to argue with it. He knew that he was at fault first by invading the poisonous snake's territory, which made it feel a sense of crisis and led to this surprise attack.
It's all for survival. It's not easy for poisonous snakes either. For the sake of Sister She and Sister Snake, let's let this matter go today.
A ray of immortal sword intent flickered from his fingertips, and the scorching white sword energy penetrated the cracks in the sand, leaving a hole emitting green smoke in its place.
Beside him, Zhu Qilan did not reply. He spread out the wind to sense the situation in the desert, hoping to find a lone Huangji Sect disciple to ask about the situation.
Not long after the investigation, her face turned extremely ugly. She raised her hand and pressed Lu Bei's shoulder. She used her magical power to clear the way and rushed into the distance like a meteor.
The wind is coming from the tiger, and the high-speed flight produces no sonic booms from friction, and it is incredibly fast.
Lu Bei was secretly shocked. The opportunity of the Western Jade Emperor Sutra was indeed amazing. Zhu Qilan had only been learning it for a short time, but his speed had almost caught up with one tenth of his second incarnation, Tian Peng.
This woman is so terrifying!
"Cousin, you're flying to the wrong place. The opportunity is in the sky. Did you see the sun?" Seeing that Zhu Qilan was seriously off the track after rear-ending the car, Lu Bei couldn't help but remind her.
"Not now. There is an elder I know well ahead of us. I can't just stand by and watch him die."
Generally speaking, Zhu Qilan's attitude towards relatives is to avoid them if possible, but if he can't avoid them, he will give them the cold shoulder and never give them the chance to make fun of them.
There are some exceptions, and this elder named Zhu Yi is one of them.
Zhu Yi, whose original name was Zhu Bangyi, was the emperor's uncle and a very close relative of Zhu Qilan.
In the early years, in order to preserve the face of the royal family, Zhu Yi gave up the fight for the throne, abandoned his family name, married into the Huangji Sect, and became the son-in-law of a great elder.
Logically speaking, this is a decision that goes against our ancestors.
If we ignore the fact that the woman was stunningly beautiful, gentle and courteous, had been secretly having an affair with him for a long time, had secretly given birth to two sons for him, had no complaints about him having many other women outside, and even wore a wedding dress on the wedding day while pregnant with her third child.
If we ignore the fact that Zhu Yi took advantage of the situation, turned his back on his parents, and ran away with his two sons, it was not until the furious elder rushed into the palace with a knife, put the knife to Zhu Yi's neck, and threatened to kill his entire family, and the royal family decisively distanced themselves from the matter, that he was reluctant to marry into the Huangji Sect.
Putting aside these facts, to sum up, it was the Huangji Sect that was wrong this time, and the Great Elder was a bit too bullying.
After all, although his daughter became pregnant three times out of wedlock and became a laughing stock among the royal family members and made the disciples of Huangji Sect feel deeply ashamed, what Zhu Yi lost was the imperial power that ruled the world!
Once upon a time, he was only one step away from the throne.
It can be said that as long as the old emperor went crazy or someone held a knife to his neck, Zhu Yi could seize the country and become the new ruler of Wu Zhou.
Because the truth would damage the reputation of the royal family, Zhu Qilan glossed over it without elaborating. She only said that Zhu Yi was her blood relative, and without the help of the wife of the emperor's uncle, she could not take the position of the commander-in-chief, let alone refuse her engagement.
No one knew what had happened at the Suzaku Gate, and fighting broke out in several places. Zhu Yi was in a very bad situation at this time. He was seriously injured and was being chased. Zhu Qilan had to rush over to rescue him.
"My uncle is quite... alert. Be careful and don't let yourself be fooled."
In mid-air, Zhu Qilan gave a relatively decent adjective, asking Lu Bei to play the role of Butler Yu honestly and not let the other party notice any clues.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. You know my acting skills. I can play villains very vividly, let alone Sister Yu." Lu Bei patted his chest, which was jumping up and down, and spoke with confidence.
With this pair of treasures by his side, who dares to say that he is not Butler Yu
It's so funny, it's impossible.
"Bai Yu doesn't talk much, and I hope you will be the same in the future." Zhu Qilan said lightly.
Good man, the real purpose is revealed, it’s been waiting for me!
Lu Bei didn't dare to respond for a moment. His friends all knew that he was a generous person.
Although his mouth was on his body, he rarely restricted it. Just like his hands and feet, he believed that his mouth had its own ideas. Whatever he said or who he kissed was his mouth's freedom. He was just a landlord and had no right to make decisions.
"Can you do it? Speak!"
"You didn't let me speak..."
Lu Bei frowned in confusion and gritted his teeth, "I will try not to talk, but to what extent, I can't guarantee it. It all depends on God's will."
Zhu Qilan: “…”
…
After the two left, a black shadow slowly rose up, blocking the entrance to Suzaku Gate, allowing no one to enter but not exit.
