Ten days have passed since the Waking of Insects.
Jiang Wang is still far away from Qingxuan Department.
The horse-drawn carriage drives along the mountain road.
Xiaoyu was still sitting on the shaft of the car.
Jiang Wang closed his eyes and rested in the carriage.
On the official road outside Zhangxia, Jiang Wang parted ways with Zhao Xiyan and Bai Xueyi.
Zhao Xiyan had something to do, but Jiang Wang didn't ask. After all, the two of them weren't that familiar.
Bai Xueyi wanted to follow Zhao Xiyan. Although he was rejected, it was obvious that there was nothing he could do except give Bai Xueyi another beating.
Jiang Wang didn't think about them anymore. In addition to attending the Jingzhe Banquet, he also considered going to Longchan afterwards to meet Tang Tang formally.
That would obviously be a tiring trip.
Because it has to cross borders.
But must go.
All the way over mountains and towns, the deeper you go into Shangyang County, the less traces of monsters there are.
Jiang Wang thought regretfully that he had no chance to absorb any more nutrients.
There were only three cities left from Qingxuan Department, and Jiang Wang and others rested temporarily in a wine shop.
The drinkers in the wine shop were talking about things in Shendu.
This is the situation after the top three in each realm's autumn festival enter the divine capital.
Of course, what they talk about more is the top three of their own Kutan.
There will be a competition before the palace examination.
The people who can truly face the Holy Spirit are the top three in each realm.
This competition is also part of the palace examination.
Jiang Wang heard the names of Xiao Shinian and Girl Iron Hammer.
Jiang Wang was not surprised that they were qualified to meet the Holy Spirit.
After all, one has entered the Snow Realm and the other is a Grandmaster of the Fifth Realm. Among the younger generation, except for a few monsters, they are the most outstanding existences.
The third person in Kutan, the monk Xuan Su who was born in the wild, although he failed to obtain the qualification to enter the temple to meet the saint, his performance was extremely outstanding.
In a competition with the top three in each realm of the Sui Kingdom, he came in fourth place and was almost able to meet the Saint.
This is the best result Kutan has achieved since the beginning of the Autumn Festival. Kutan ranks among the top three, occupying three of the top four in the Sui Dynasty. Not only the monks, but also the common people who know some spiritual practices are also honored. So there's a buzz going on everywhere.
Yao Guanhai said: "Except for a few qualified but not participating, Kutan basically went all out, but this is not the case in Other Realm. Those who have participated before can still participate as long as it is not too long ago, but this time, Other Realm comes They are all newcomers, so there is no doubt that Xiao Shinian and Iron Hammer can occupy the top three, otherwise it will be difficult to say if there are a few more young people from other realms who have entered the Snow Bathing Realm."
For a genius, taking a bath in the snow is just the beginning of the path of cultivation.
In addition to Kutan, the younger generation of the Sui Kingdom could find many snow bathing realms, but it was not so easy to find snow bathing realms like Jiang Wang and Li Fusheng.
The gap between people in the same realm is also like a natural chasm.
Therefore, those who are invincible in the same situation are the best.
People below the Snow Bathing Realm may be able to show cross-border power with the help of other factors, but they can only show this kind of power. It is impossible to win in a fight. Above the Snow Snow Realm, the distance is even further widened. bigger.
For example, it was unique for Jiang Wang to kill the demon king at the peak of the bathing snow realm in Panmen with his cultivation in the bathing snow realm. Being able to kill the demon king did not mean that Jiang Wang could kill all the peak bathing snow realms.
Compared with this matter, there is really no comparison between Weak Guan Yuxue's talent.
Jiang Wang said: "When you enter the palace to face the saint, the new top three who come out of the competition among the top three in each realm will have to personally take the test again. Although the competition in front of the palace is over, there is no mention of when to enter the palace to face the saint. Well, it will take some time before Miss Hammer and the others return to Kutan."
Xiaoyu said: "I wonder how Zhao Si is doing."
Jiang Wang thought for a while and said: "His talent for drawing talismans is extremely high. Unless Zhang Tianshi happens to not want to accept a disciple this year, he must have entered Zhang Tianshi's sect by now. Thinking about it this way, Zhao Si can be regarded as joining the path of Tianshi. Peak?"
Xiaoyu smiled slightly.
Yao Guanhai took a sip of wine and said, "Although it's not far from Qingxuan Department, you haven't thought about being troubled after such a long delay?"
Xun Xiuzhen, who comes from the Qingxuan Department in the Divine Capital, most likely will not take the words "Xiao Guan Xue" seriously. If he is a little late, maybe people won't say anything, but after being so late, let alone "Xiao Guan Xue" , it’s useless for you to bathe in the snow for nine years.
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "That's really what you want."
If he could gain some nourishment from the Qingxuan Department, his trip would not be in vain.
As long as there is no real evidence of the death penalty, if someone makes trouble for you, what does it matter if you cause trouble at the Qingxuan Department?
Lu Xiuxiu was eating in silence. At this time, she looked at Jiang Wang and said, "It turns out that the reason why Qingxuan Department has not held a banquet is because of you."
Jiang Wang nodded.
Lu Xiuxiu said: "The headmaster of our sect and other important people who were invited to the banquet all arrived in advance or on the same day. After all, the identity of the person who temporarily issued the order seemed to be unusual. Everyone also wanted to avoid anything else happening to Ku Tan. , I dare not refuse, and if Mr. Jiang has a reason, forget it, but it seems to me that you don’t have any special reason, you are just late? "
Jiang Wang said: "There is really no special reason, just walking around and shopping around."
Lu Xiuxiu ate in silence.
But soon his brows furrowed slightly, revealing a look of pain.
Jiang Wang noticed it immediately, put his hand on her shoulder, and said: "It seems that Mei Er has really done something. The Demon Prison is very safe in your Huangting. He has no way to directly open the Demon Prison for the time being, but he uses a certain method to open the Demon Prison." Make the Demon Prison less stable."
Although the power of the Kingdom of God has long since dissipated, the power Jiang Wang can currently exert is enough to restore calm to the Demon Prison. Feeling the hot breath pouring into Huangting, Lu Xiuxiu relaxed her brows and asked, "He just wants to harm me?"
Jiang Wang shook his head and said: "I think he is going to put his own blood and use your Huang Ting to try and see if he can open the Demon Prison. Even if it fails, he can probably make the Demon Prison temporarily out of control. Zhang Xia will definitely It was impossible to escape the disaster, but he was finally killed by Miss Zhao’s sword.”
Lu Xiuxiu lowered her head and remained silent.
Jiang Wang didn't say anything else.
The gatekeeper is really kind to Lu Xiuxiu, but he also really wants to harm Lu Xiuxiu. The demon prison is in her Huangting. In time, it will not only endanger the common people. It would be a good thing if Lu Xiuxiu died directly, but if he did not die, then life would be worse than death. .
Ru Yanqing peeked at Lu Xiuxiu and felt that she was very pitiful.
Then he stood up and gave her a bite of vegetables and a piece of braised pork.
Jiang Wang smiled and rubbed Ru Yanqing's head.
After they were full of wine and food, Xiaoyu put down his money and Jiang Wang said, "Go directly to Qingxuan Department."
...
The sacred capital of the Sui Dynasty.
At night.
The top three from all realms live in Baoping Alley, and even after the competition in front of the palace, some of them never left.
Girl Iron Hammer came to visit Xiao Shinian's residence.
Next door is Xuansu.
"Why do you hang out in Shendu every day?"
Girl Iron Hammer brought wine and food and curiously asked Xiao Shinian who had just sat down at the stone table.
Xiao Shinian said: "Wandering around."
The Hammer girl curled her lips, raised her eyes and pointed to the next door, and said: "That guy hasn't left the door since the competition in front of the palace. He has been so mysterious. It seems that there is something wrong with you two."
Xiao Shinian also glanced at the next door. To be honest, he was still very curious about the one named Xuan Su.
"He won fourth place in the competition in front of the palace. Some people were dissatisfied."
Girl Hammer said: "So he just stays in Aquarius Alley? If you look at it this way, he is nothing special."
Xiao Shinian looked at her and said: "I am from Longchan, and you are from Kutan, and we are from Kutan. There is no need to say this. Although the gods do not strictly prohibit private fights, people from all walks of life do not dare to do whatever they want. If you act recklessly, you need to let Xuansu accept the challenge head-on."
"He has already won the competition in front of the palace, why bother to fight again? If it were me, I wouldn't have the interest. I traveled all the way from Kutan to the Divine Capital. He is indeed taciturn and likes to stay in one place. It should be a personality problem, not at all. escape."
Girl Hammer said unexpectedly: "Although it makes sense, why do you defend him like this?"
Xiao Shiqiang said with a smile: "No matter what, compared to people from other realms, we are in the same camp after all, and he lives next door to me. I sometimes see him dazed in the yard until nightfall. Although I was not so bored watching him in a daze all day, his posture did not change at all when I went out and came back."
Girl Hammer said in surprise: "This person is so weird."
Xiao Shinian said: "The weirder the person, the more secrets they have."
Just as Girl Hammer was about to say something, there was sudden movement next door.
Xiao Shinian smiled and said, "The provocateur is here again."
Three people appeared in Aquarius Alley.
Two men and one woman.
They come from two realms.
A woman wearing green clothes and holding a sword is leaning against the wall.
Two men in white were sarcastic and sarcastic in front of the Xuansuyuan gate.
"Although we are both at the peak of the Dongming Realm, it is normal to win and lose, but we all come from a sect, and you are not only from Kutan, you are also a wandering monk, with no background and no advanced cultivation methods. You Why can we get fourth place?”
"For so many years, Kutan, let alone the top three in the palace, it is rare to be able to take a step forward at the end. Xie Wuxing won't talk about it that time. Everyone knows it. But this time, the three of you Kutan are ranked so high. , to say that there is nothing fishy in it, I absolutely don’t believe it.”
"Xiao Shinian is from Longchan after all. I have nothing to say. That girl with the strange name Iron Hammer also practices martial arts at the Longchan Martial Temple. You are the only one who can truly represent Kutan, but you are the weakest."
"You don't dare to come out now. Do you know that if you fight us, you will definitely lose?"
"Then you are very self-aware. You can hide if you want, but all the gods will know that there is something wrong with the competition in front of the palace. Although you Kutan have no shame to lose at the Autumn Festival, you are very powerful and found out It’s a huge embarrassment, or is Kutan trying his best to help you cheat?”
Xuansu's courtyard door remained the same as before, but the door to the courtyard next door was suddenly opened.
The hammer girl rushed out in a rage.
Although she didn't understand the reason why Xuan Su stayed behind closed doors, it didn't mean that she could just sit back and watch people from other places being humiliated, not to mention that those words humiliated Kutan as a whole.
Even though Miss Iron Hammer grew up in Longchan, she is a real Kutan person.
"Shut up, sir!"
"You want to fight, don't you? Come and fight with me! I'll beat you until you have teeth all over the floor!"
The two monks squinted at the Hammer girl, and one of them smiled and said: "The girl has superb martial arts. There is no problem in getting the third armor. How can we have any reason to fight with the girl?"
"Maybe what we just said was a bit excessive, but the girl can't deny that most of what we said makes sense."
"There's no truth!" Girl Iron Hammer cursed, "You don't admit defeat, and you go around looking for excuses to frame others. You say that Ku Tan helped him cheat? Don't you see that this is normal? Are you really an idiot even if you are the examiner in front of the palace?"
"If there was really a problem in the competition in front of the palace, you have been making noises in the past few days, and the palace would have come to investigate!"
The expressions of the two monks darkened.
This certainly makes more sense.
But they refused to accept it.
I firmly believe that there must be something wrong with Xuan Su.
The biggest purpose of saying so much is to let Xuansu accept the challenge head-on. Who would have thought that Xuansu could really endure it? No matter how ugly the words were, there was no response at all.
Looking at Xiao Shinian standing in front of the courtyard gate, the two monks did not dare to say anything.
After all, everyone knows that Xiao Shinian is a monk in the Snow Bathing Realm, and he has a very good relationship with the Iron Hammer girl. Someone once laughed at the name of the Iron Hammer, and he was beaten by Xiao Shinian. He is still lying down.
Some people died, but not completely...
