After leaving the underground palace through the ant tunnel, the young prince was in a state of excitement. When he returned to the courtyard where he lived, everything the teacher said went in the left ear and out the right ear, and he couldn't hear it at all. Therefore, he was hit several times in succession. It was a ruler, but it was as if he couldn't feel the pain. He couldn't stop laughing after being serious for a long time.
And this day's reading and studying ended with the teacher's words: "Boys cannot be taught."
The night was long, but I managed to get through it.
Early the next morning, at dawn, the young prince got dressed while being served by several servants. Before he had time to eat breakfast, he rushed out of the house and ran towards Qishan Courtyard.
Compared with when he first came here six days ago, the guards guarding Qishan Courtyard were no longer surprised. They did not stop him. They just reminded the young prince when he passed by: "Young prince, only one person is allowed." hour.”
"Two hours!"
"Master said, you only have one hour."
"Do you believe that I will find someone to beat you again?" the young prince said with an arrogant look. After hearing his words, several guards immediately shut their mouths. Although the young prince only has an identity and has no real power in the military camp, he It's true that it can shake people.
To be honest, after I and others forced the young prince out three days ago, the brat found a dozen big men from other camps. Although the beating in the end was more of an act, the fight was It really hurts and they don’t want to do it again.
Seeing the young prince swaggering away, several guards looked away and curled their lips to show their disdain.
On the other side, after entering the inner courtyard, the young prince found the most remote courtyard with ease. When he came to the door, he immediately took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.
Of course, he also understood that it was very impolite to enter someone else's yard without even saying hello, but he had no choice but to knock on the door, but the people inside would not respond at all and wanted to go in. Either climb over the wall, or open the door yourself and go in.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the young prince closed the door and walked inside. Not long after, he saw the girl in red that he had longed for.
Today is a sunny day. There are no clouds in the sky. There are no clouds. The girl is not sitting in the pavilion and staring at the clouds in the sky in a daze. Instead, she is squatting in front of a flower bed, her eyes are distracted, staring blankly, and her fingers are playing with each other unconsciously. Looking at the flowers in front of me.
As soon as he saw her, the young prince shouted happily: "Sister Fairy, I'm here again!"
The other party didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear his voice. The young prince was a transparent person.
And he was used to it, so he didn't pay attention. He came directly to her and squatted down like her.
"Sister, do you know an extinct animal?"
"..."
"I guess you don't know."
The girl was unmoved.
"Yesterday I was playing around and I met one. It could even talk."
The girl remained unmoved.
"He told me that he was very powerful and could destroy the world." The young prince was not discouraged at all and continued.
This time the other party finally responded, but it was just an "oh" and the response was very cold.
Then the expression on the young prince's face suddenly became mysterious, and he asked again: "Sister, do you know what he said he is? Guess."
The girl became as unmoved as before, minding her own business and teasing the petals in front of her.
There was no other way. The young prince could only tell the answer himself, lowering his voice and saying: "He said he was a dragon. It seemed... from ancient times. I wonder, sister, do you know what a dragon is?"
After teasing the petals with her slender fingers, the girl suddenly turned her head and looked at him, frowning: "Dragon?"
"Yes, he said he is the dragon, the last dragon in the world..."
The girl suddenly looked at him blankly.
After so many days, it was the first time that the young prince was looked at like this by her, so he felt uncomfortable.
He was a little at a loss for a while, but recalling Shen Yi's instructions yesterday, he calmed down, scratched his little head and said: "Well, how can there be dragons in the world... Sister, I'm sorry, I lied to you, I saw the dragon in a book, and I just wanted to make you happy.”
The girl was still looking at him blankly. After a while, the expression on her face seemed to be thinking about something, and she quickly regained some of her vitality.
She looked away but still didn't speak. After getting up, she walked towards the house. However, the moment she opened the door, she looked back at the young prince. It was hard to tell what kind of emotion was in her eyes.
Naturally, the young prince didn't understand, but every time he came to this small courtyard, he would go wherever the girl went. Now that he saw her entering the house, he hesitated for a moment, and then followed her.
When he came to the door, he stopped, stretched his neck and poked his little head in, looking left and right curiously.
"Sister, this is your dormitory? It smells so good~ Can I come in?"
The girl didn't say anything, and the young prince took it as her consent. Without thinking much, he stepped in directly. Then he looked at the girl who was already sitting in front of the dressing table with some uneasiness. Just as the young prince was about to speak, he saw The other party actually shook his head at himself.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was stunned. Just when he was about to ask what was wrong, he saw the girl's face turned cold and she looked in a certain direction in the room. What was even more cold was her tone.
"When did your young master say that you can come in here? Get out of here."
What she was looking at was a window, which was closed tightly. Through the thin window paper, it was clear that there was nothing outside.
The girl seemed to be sure that there was something outside, and her voice became colder several times.
"I'll give you a count of three, three!"
"two!"
Before counting to one, the girl raised her hand, her slender green onion-like fingers pointed in the void, and the spiritual energy was released in front of her fingertips, condensing into sharp sword energy.
Just as the sword energy was about to fly out, a gust of breeze rose up.
The young prince immediately realized that it was a secret guard. As he came in, the secret guards also came in quietly.
Although he didn't notice it, the girl was keenly aware of it.
After the breeze disappeared, the sword energy condensed from spiritual power on the girl's fingertips also dissipated.
The young prince looked at the other party again. Before he could speak, he heard the other party ask anxiously: "Did you really see the dragon?"
"No...no, it's...it's in the book, I...!"
"You tell the truth, no one is watching here now."
"Really?" The young prince was hesitant. After telling Xuan Li about the situation here yesterday, that guy was very wary of this place, especially the existence of secret guards, which made him very nervous.
The secret guard appears and disappears. He is an ordinary child who is not sure that there is someone hiding in any corner around him. He is looking at himself with a pair of piercing eyes.
But since the girl said so, he could only nod: "Well, I saw a dragon."
"Then what does he look like?"
"It has a pair of big horns and a pair of wings on its back."
The young prince briefly described Shen Yi's appearance. After hearing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and her eyes became brighter.
"Did he tell you his name?"
"told."
"What's his name? Xuan Li or Shen Yi?"
"What Shen Yi? He said his name is Xuan Li."
"That's good..."
"Sister, what's your name? I asked you the first time I met you, but you never told me."
"My name is Tsurumi Hatsuun..."
"Then I will call you Sister Chuyun from now on!" The young prince shouted excitedly with the word "happiness" written all over his face.
In front of him, He Jian Chuyun relaxed completely. Speaking of which, she woke up earlier than Shen Yi, about twenty days earlier. And on the day she just woke up, she was more panicked than... Much more than Shen Yi, she knew very well what she would face after being caught, and it would be nothing more than becoming a victim of the art of sacrifice.
Maybe she won't die for a while, but Shen Yi is different. He has no need for the art of sacrificing clothes and may die at any time.
When she woke up, she didn't see Shen Yi beside her. She lived in fear and torture every day.
Patting her chest, she took a deep breath and asked the young prince, "How is he now?"
"He's alive and well."
"Then where is he?"
"He is being imprisoned on top of the underground altar."
"Underground altar? What is that place? Where is it?"
"There is three miles of land below Hu Ziying."
"..." Tsurumi Chuyun frowned. Although she seemed to be living a comfortable life, with food and clothing, and could do anything except not practice, in fact, she was under house arrest here. , the range of activities was limited to this small courtyard, and she could not take a step outside the courtyard.
These three miles are like a natural chasm, making it impossible for the two sides to meet or even look at each other.
"Xuanli asked you to come here these days?"
"No." The young prince shook his head, but quickly said, "It wasn't the past few days, but Xuan Li asked me to come today. He said that if I tell you about his affairs, you will pay attention to me."
He saw a trace of doubt flashing in Chuyun's eyes, but the young prince did not notice it.
She fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a minute, she waved to the young prince and said softly: "Come here."
"What's the matter, sister?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
"What's the favor? Don't worry, sister, I will definitely help you!"
"It's not a big favor. Just help me bring him a message when you go to see Xuan Li tomorrow."
"What are you talking about?"
"..."
…
Another day passed.
The next morning, as soon as Shen Yi was force-fed, the young prince got into the iron gate and walked towards him, jumping up and down. It was the first time since he met him that he saw the young prince so happy.
"Eating bee poop? Are you so happy?"
"Hey, hey, hey, sister really pays attention to me!"
"How does she care about you?"
"When I told her about you, she ignored me and asked me a lot of questions."
"What have I asked you?"
"I can't remember, it's a lot anyway."
"Did she tell you her name?"
"I told you, fairy sister, her name is Tsurumi Chuyun, hehehe, sister Chuyun, she is so beautiful, much prettier than sister Feiqing, I will marry her as my wife in the future!"
"Yes, yes, marry her." Shen Yi agreed, and then asked: "She just asked you some questions, but she didn't ask you to do anything else?"
"No... Oh, I remembered that Sister Chuyun asked me to bring you a message."
"What's the message?"
"She said there will be a military competition in four days."
"What?"
"In four days there will be a military competition!"
"WTF?"
"What she asked me to bring you is that there will be a military competition in four days."
"Gone?"
"No...wait a minute, as you promised me, I have found Sister Chuyun now, and you have to give me a jar of candy."
"Go aside!"
"You're cheating! Give it to me quickly!"
"I'm going to find your sister Chuyun. She has more candy than me."
"Oh." After hearing that you can go to Tsurumi Chuyun to ask for this jar of candy, the young prince stopped making trouble and said to Shen Yi with a smile: "I have already brought you the words, I am going back." After that, Without waiting for Shen Yi to say anything, he turned around and got out of the iron gate, leaving Shen Yi alone with a confused look on his face and repeating the meaning of "Four days later is the military competition" in his mind.
"What kind of airplane is the old witch doing?"
It has been almost a month since the first time he helped Miao Jin sharpen and saw yellow talisman paper tapes. Obviously, Shen Yi underestimated those yellow paper tapes. As the gap made by the yellow paper tapes got bigger and bigger, he touched the The runes on it have begun to change positions, making it more difficult to grind them off. Now he has worn off more than two-thirds of the yellow paper tape. It seems that Shen Yi still needs half of it. month's time.
Of course, in addition to using Miao Jinchong, he can also use the Tianyin Wanling Explosion to explode directly, but in this underground palace, he gets too little red energy every day, only about four units of red energy a day. He could only make a one-three-two-four plan for himself, such as digesting three units of red gas on the first day, and then digesting four units of red gas on the second and third days, with at least two units of them each. The red energy is used to strengthen his eighth-level Heavenly All-Inspired Explosion.
By now, the eighth-level Tianyin Ten Thousand Spirits Explosion has reached level nine. It is easy to kill a spirit-level monk, but if you want to kill a Xuan-level venerable, you still need a tenth-level Tianyin Ten Thousand Spirits Explosion. burst.
However, the amount of red energy obtained is limited. If he wants to get a level ten, he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
After all, the size of the tenth-level Tianyin Ten Thousand Spirits Explosion is ten times that of the nine-level Tianyin Ten Thousand Spirits Explosion. In the time it takes him to make one level 10, he can make ten level 9 ones.
Shen Yi feels a little headache now. The old witch is conveying a key message to herself through the young prince's mouth, but can't she just tell her what she wants to do?
As for why such a riddle was being done, Shen Yi probably had some guesses. The old witch didn't seem to trust the young prince very much.
He tapped his paws on the ground and thought over and over again, but he still couldn't figure out what action instructions there were in the sentence "There will be a military competition in four days."
He had no choice but to wait and go out at night to take a look four days later. Maybe the situation outside would be different.
