The reason why Qi Huan and the others were able to visit King Shura sounded very risky.
It’s simple—God’s “approval.” Of course, if you simply use this as an excuse to find her, you probably won't even be able to pass the gate of the palace. Those who can really be valued by her are those who can use practical swords and fists in the ring competition, and demonstrate their martial arts and magic power to the fullest. This kind of game requires a life or death certificate, and once the fight starts, there is no way to end it. In the end, only a few people can stand out from the bloody storm and fall into the eyes of Asura.
Bai Ya and the others are a good example, but they didn't follow the rules. It was a pure accident that they got this opportunity. If it weren't for Mr. Shuangyue's glory, I'm afraid he would be arguing with a group of freaks in prison now, and would suffer some big losses. For strangers like Qi Huan and the others who didn't even know where to sign up, it was naturally impossible to meet the queen.
So how do you prove your strength in a short period of time?
The things they possess that can speak, including Lord Shuangyue, all together include the Demon-Sealing Blade, the Yin-Yang Scimitar, a Mo Dao, a stack of paper figurines, an enchanting pen, and a compass. ,besides……
A crystal clear glass heart.
As for Bai Ya, he was still wandering back and forth in the house. He couldn't sit still. It was the first time that Lord Shuangyue had seen him behave like this since he met him. The imperial dining room served them food. The table was full of big fish and meat, with no trace of green in sight and no staple food. The plainest thing on the table was a pot of clear wine, which was used instead of soup.
There is no need to sleep in the Six Paths of Impermanence, and naturally there is no need to eat. But in the same way, food can also be a form of entertainment. It's just that even Lord Shuangyue couldn't eat this meal - the bones of cattle and sheep are all large, only chicken, duck and fish are relatively small. But when he tried to reach out and pull off a chicken leg, he felt that it was half-cooked and he couldn't pull it off.
Lord Shuangyue wiped his hands and poured a glass of cold wine.
"Stop turning around." He called to Bai Ya, "Come on, have something to eat."
"Eat farts, I'm so annoyed."
"Are you worried about that woman?" He picked up the wine glass, "Why are you panicking? If there is no news later, I will kidnap her and run away."
"That's not the problem."
Bai Ya stopped and wanted to explain something, but his irritability overwhelmed his patience. So he continued to wander.
"Put it on your mill, and you've already turned three stones of millet."
Seeing that it was getting dark again, even if Jun Aoyan was not mentioned, he didn't know what happened to the other two people. Bai Ya couldn't sit still anymore, so he suddenly turned around and opened the door, ready to go out to find someone. But who would have thought that as soon as he walked downstairs, he was stopped by the tall Shura guard at the door. They were so tall and strong that they blocked the faint moonlight in the sky.
"What are you doing! The king has ordered that visitors are not allowed to walk around freely in the imperial city!"
Not to be outdone, Bai Ya puffed up his chest and said confidently:
"I'm looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
Before Bai Ya could say anything, he suddenly heard the voices of other people approaching. He turned his head away, trying to see who it was. Several guards stepped aside, and two more Shura came towards them. It turned out that they were also sending visitors.
The visitors behind them were Qi Huan and Sheng Han.
"Where is Jun Aoyan?"
While the Shura around him wasn't paying attention, Bai Ya pushed the guards away without any explanation and came to them. The person taking the lead said:
"If you're talking about the other woman with the knife, she was placed elsewhere. Don't worry, the food and drink there are no worse than yours."
"Where is she? She has to be with us."
"This is an order from the 'General'."
"Where is Jun Luanjiu? I want to see him."
"Nonsense! How can you meet the general just as you say?"
Seeing the quarrel, Qi Huan and Liu Shenghan quickly said some kind words to the guard brother to comfort them, and dragged Bai Ya back. Qi Huan said that they knew each other. He had such a bad temper and they must educate him well.
"There is no need to send them away to the elder brothers. We will handle the rest ourselves. Thank you, thank you very much."
The Shuras who led the way walked away with expressions on their faces, and Bai Ya was also pulled upstairs by them.
As soon as the door was closed, Qi Huan shouted to him:
"What are you doing! Don't you think you can't die quickly enough? Are we their opponents? Anyone you pick out can drink a pot of it. Didn't you learn enough lessons during the day?"
"I can beat it."
"Is this... your problem?!"
"stop fighting."
Liu Shenghan said something cool and salty, not too loud, but enough to shut them up.
"Now is not the time to quarrel. Aoyan should be fine. They don't dare to do anything to her. We have all heard about Jun's drunkenness. Qi Huan asked more questions in the hall and found out that the 'general' also came from the ring. After fighting, he gained a foothold in the Wu Kingdom. Although these competitions have rules, there are no rules. Humans, demons, and Shura are all at the same starting point, so General Jun has his current position and natural strength. It should not be underestimated. Now it seems that if he doesn’t recognize Aoyan, he may have something hidden.”
"But she doesn't know." Bai Ya slapped the table, "Do you think she is thinking calmly?"
"If she is alone now, I hope she can think about it carefully and not let down our hard work..." Shubada
"How did you meet King Shura?"
Lord Shuangyue, who had been drinking quietly, watched the show for a long time, and suddenly he said this. When the conversation changed, Liu Shenghan noticed him and sat down at the table helplessly. She told the truth about their adventurous plan and explained the king's views.
The people in the temple naturally did not believe that they could get the treasure of the Bird God. But the king personally stepped down from the throne to confirm that thing, and it was indeed the real Liulixin. If you want to make things difficult for them, pick out any one of them and challenge them to a duel. You and your treasures will all be handed over here. But of course they also had prepared excuses - originally they only had to move out of Bai Ya, but now, Jun Aoyan's name was also reported, so she would not be troubled by anyone in the short term.
"When we mentioned Aoyan, nothing could be seen in Jun Luanjiu's eyes... He did not show any sadness or joy, as if Dazhen and Aoyan were from two different worlds and had never crossed paths in their lives."
Qi Huan tinkered at the dinner table for a long time but couldn't find any edible dish. I'm afraid this was the fundamental reason why Lord Shuang Yue was so honest and never tried any dish. So Qi Huan was about to pour wine, but found that the wine was gone. He sighed, rolled his eyes, and gave up. Only then did Mr. Shuangyue sneer, as if he finally saw the scene he had been waiting for.
"They don't have anything like amber that can interfere with people's spirits?" Bai Ya speculated, "Maybe he is indeed Aoyan's adoptive father, but he doesn't remember it himself."
"I don't think so... Asura's treasure is a purple and gold Demon-Conquering Pestle." Liu Shenghan explained, "She introduced it to us. The Demon-Conquering Pestle is enshrined in the Temple of War. She can arrange for us to see it. . The Demon-Conquering Pestle can ward off evil and filth, and at the same time, it can give the holder the power to crack mountains and crack the earth. However...it is said that not everyone can use it."
"Evil? Aren't they themselves?"
"They are Rakshasa. Whenever the atmosphere inside and outside Wuhan becomes relaxed, they will appear. They will burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of evil, making it impossible for people to live a pure life for a few days. In order to resist their invasion, more or less people from all over the country must Know how to protect yourself."
"I see... This is why these barbarians admire martial arts so much. But since we came, apart from statues, we have never seen what a living Rakshasa looks like."
"Don't worry about this for now." Bai Ya pinched the bridge of his nose, "We have to meet Jun Luanjiu in private."
"How easy is it to live in such a huge imperial city?" Qi Huan was so hungry that he finally pulled off a duck wing, which looked cooked. "Speaking of which...did we not tell them something crucial?"
If Qi Huan just remembered it, Bai Ya would believe it. However, Liu Shenghan didn't speak and seemed to be hesitating.
"Don't waste time, get down to business."
"We faced King Shura head-on, and after going back and forth for a long time, we finally got a chance."
"Chance?"
"A chance to fight with her. If we win, we will be given the mark of God."
"Fight her? Yes, but why? You won't forget that we are here to find talents, right? To find the missing prince-in-law, and..."
"Now that things have happened, do you think we can still walk away so easily?"
Liu Shenghan frowned and questioned him. In his memory, Bai Ya rarely saw her looking so serious.
"This is also to buy time for Aoyan. Even if Aoyan doesn't see her father, this is what we plan to do, otherwise we won't be able to enter the palace and we won't be able to see you. Although you two will definitely not die, we are afraid that the two of you will not die. What's going on? And we've also talked with King Shura. As long as she recognizes our strength, she will use all her power to find people for us."
So Bai Ya asked Qi Huan: "She didn't use the Demon-Sealing Blade as a condition. Is she threatening us with something?"
"It's okay, I told her that we are not familiar with Mr. Shuangyue. He insisted on coming with us."
"?"
Lord Shuoyue glanced at them quickly.
"Oh, that's good." Bai Ya said as if deliberately.
Liu Shenghan's face was still heavy. She put her hands behind her back, stood in front of the window, and said quietly:
"Don't be too optimistic...it's more than just a fight."
"Ah? Are there any additional conditions?" Bai Ya felt a headache. "These gods, one or two, are all ghosts."
"A ruler who can convince all Shura is not that easy to deal with. Who among us will directly confront her?" Shenghan turned around and asked.
"Me." Bai Ya said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Or do you think any of you wants to replace me?"
Qi Huan shook his head like a rattle.
"Well, I don't want to hit women..."
"Can you beat me?"
"Don't underestimate me. Give me your knife. I think I can do it too."
"You think you can do it again." Bai Ya glared at him, and then asked Liu Shenghan, "Quick, what are you going to say?"
"Others... must also participate in the trial."
"What?"
Bai Ya felt that he heard wrongly. He glanced at Qi Huan, who was gnawing on a bone, and the latter muttered a vague echo, confirming that there was nothing wrong with his ears. He felt a headache, and he quickly calculated in his mind: Jun Aoyan can fight...probably, as long as they don't do anything. Liu Shenghan... isn't this a joke? However, if you can use magic, there may be room for maneuver. As for Qi Huan, just treat him as a dead person.
"Next time, she will invite us to visit the Temple of War." Liu Shenghan continued, "And the capable generals around her... Our opponents will choose from them."
