Zhuque Street, finally try the high platform.
A number of candidates intending to join Zhuque Academy are arriving one after another.
Xia Chuxue stood on the high platform and silently counted the number of people. She found that including herself, there were a total of fourteen candidates.
"Most of those who left are truly talented people."
Xia Chuxue sighed secretly.
As far as she knew, people such as Meng Xiaochuan, Gu Chensha, Jing Yun, Wang Quan Yixiao, etc. came to take the exams of Suzaku Academy in order to get a place as a disciple in the back mountain.
"Where is he?" Zhou Xueqi from the Emei Sect came to Xia Chuxue and asked in a low voice.
At the Tianjiao Banquet, Zhou Xueqi and Xia Chuxue sat at the same table. After passing the inner court examination, the relationship between the two women became closer.
Xia Chuxue whispered: "He gave up on the technical test."
"Give up the technical test?" Zhou Xueqi was startled.
Xia Chuxue hummed lightly, glanced at Mr. Eighth and Mr. Ten of the academy who came up on the stage, and said nothing more.
Mr. Ten walked to the martial arts stage, looked at all the candidates, and said with a smile: "The so-called technical test is a gathering for everyone to show themselves, so that the people of Chang'an City can see what kind of genius is qualified to join Suzaku The inner courtyard of the academy…”
Compared with Wukao, the crowd gathered on Zhuque Street was at least one-third smaller.
After discovering that Chu Xiu, Chen Changsheng, Wang Quan Yixiao and other talented people were not here, many people left immediately.
Even so, the number of people watching this technical test was huge.
…
Royal Palace, outside Anren Gate.
Zhang Liang has arrived.
Chu Xiu and the landlady got off the carriage.
"Are you leaving?" Zhang Liang glanced at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I've been waiting for Third Senior Brother."
"Then let's go." Zhang Liang said.
Chu Xiu said: "Junior brother does not dare to be in the front, so please ask the third senior brother to be in the front."
"Little slippery man." Zhang Liang cursed secretly and strode forward.
The expressions of the surrounding gate guards changed.
They dared to stop Chu Xiu, but they didn't dare to stop Zhang Liang.
"Go tell your Majesty the Emperor..." Chu Xiu glanced at the commander of the imperial guards, "I don't use a knife, I use a sword."
After saying that, he followed Zhang Liang's pace.
Zhu Yourong and the landlady held their breaths and silently followed Chu Xiu on both sides.
"I will report the truth to Your Majesty." The commander of the guards said in a deep voice, feeling relieved.
At times like this, having something to do is better than having nothing to do.
Approaching Chengtian Gate, Zhang Liang stopped.
The knife is out of its sheath.
"That day, you killed the royal family in Chang'an..." Zhang Liang glanced at Chu Xiu and smiled domineeringly, "Today, Zhang Liang killed Chengtian with his mad sword."
After finishing speaking, the sword flashed.
The closed Chengtian Gate instantly revealed a slanting and straight crack.
next moment.
The two bronze doors shattered to the ground.
The surrounding guards all changed their expressions and became frightened and silent.
No one dares to speak.
Zhuque Academy has an unimaginable status in Chang'an City.
They all know this arrogant Mr. Third.
Zhang Liang sneered and strode through Chengtian Gate.
"Ask the boundless earth, who is in charge of ups and downs?" Chu Xiu followed Zhang Liang and praised without hesitation, "Look at the current situation, Zhang Liang's mad sword, the sword reaches the sky, and his anger is like a tiger swallowing thousands of miles."
"..."
Zhu Yourong and the landlady who were following Chu Xiu secretly glanced at each other, with a strange look flashing in their eyes.
"what to do?"
The imperial guards outside Chengtian Gate looked at each other, all at a loss.
Zhang Liang was so powerful that they didn't dare to stop him.
On the gold and silver table.
Emperor Qian's face was as dark as water, and he was staring in the direction of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace. He saw the shattered scene of the Chengtian Gate with his own eyes, which made him unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
"What do they want to do?"
No one answered.
The answer is obvious: find trouble!
"Xian Yuan, go over and watch them. I want to know their every move." Emperor Qian said coldly.
"promise."
Li Xianyuan responded and stepped down from the gold and silver platform.
The palace is very large, extending in all directions. As far as the eye can see are purple pillars and golden beams, magnificent palaces, and extremely magnificent.
"Where are you going?" When he arrived outside a large white jade square, Zhang Liang stopped and turned to look at Chu Xiu.
"Lead the way." Chu Xiu glanced at Zhu Yourong and ordered directly.
"Okay." Zhu Yourong responded and walked straight to the west.
Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows slightly and followed.
After a while, Li Xianyuan hurried over and followed Chu Xiu.
"What do you want to do?" Li Xianyuan asked directly.
"Last night, I encountered an assassination." Chu Xiu said.
Li Xianyuan's expression remained as usual.
"It seems you know." Chu Xiu whispered.
Li Xianyuan said: "The eunuch Zhang Qing is dead. This is your Majesty's explanation to you and Suzaku Academy."
Chu Xiu smiled.
"This is not enough." Chu Xiu said leisurely.
Li Xianyuan said: "Don't make too much noise, otherwise you may be fine, but some people may suffer from it."
Chu Xiu looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "Second senior brother, does the emperor of Daqian have to be named Li?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yourong and the proprietress Mo Shaoyun, who were leading the way, were both shocked. They held their breath and listened quietly.
Zhang Liang shrugged, "You have to ask Master about this."
"I will definitely ask in the future." Chu Xiu whispered.
Li Xianyuan said: "Although the Vermillion Bird Academy has the invincible Dean Feng, and its background is unfathomable, don't underestimate a dynasty that has been established for a thousand years."
"As long as the number one in the world is strong enough, the number two in the world will only kneel down when meeting the number one in the world." Chu Xiu said lightly.
"That's right." Zhang Liang said with a smile, "That's what academy disciples should be like."
Li Xianyuan said no more, glanced in front of him, and frowned suddenly.
"Are you going to worship Emperor Wu?" Li Xianyuan followed calmly and silently.
Finally, the group stopped outside an independent three-story palace.
"Martial Emperor Sacrifice." Chu Xiu glanced at the plaque, looked at Li Xianyuan, and asked, "Is there a sword in this?"
Li Xianyuan shook his head, "I've never been here."
"Emperor Wu is the seventh emperor of the Daqian royal family." Zhang Liang introduced, "During his tenure, he once traveled across the rivers and lakes, drove Buddhism to Florida, and destroyed the demon sect that was tyrannical at that time. Three sects of Taoism can be regarded as He is a generational overlord.”
"Overlord?" Mo Shaoyun, the proprietress, stared at the plaque of Emperor Wu, with a flash of hatred in her eyes.
Zhang Liang, Li Xianyuan, and Chu Xiu were all very keen, and they immediately noticed something strange about the landlady.
"The seventh generation emperor...this Martial Emperor should be a person from a thousand years ago, right?" Chu Xiu asked thoughtfully.
Zhang Liang nodded, "It was indeed a thousand years ago."
Chu Xiu glanced at the landlady and thought to himself, this Mo family must have been destroyed a thousand years ago, right?
"go in."
Chu Xiu suppressed the doubts in his heart, and after speaking, he was about to walk into the Emperor Wu Sacrifice.
As soon as he moved, an old voice came from the Emperor Wu Temple.
"Please stop."
Everyone looked at Wu Huangsi.
"His Majesty Emperor Wu once had a pleasant conversation with the third-generation dean of Zhuque Academy." The old voice sounded again.
Zhang Liang was startled and frowned slightly.
He had known for a long time that all the previous presidents of Suzaku Academy were his masters.
"If Mr. San must force his way into this place, I suggest you speak to the contemporary Dean Feng first." Wu Huangsi let out an old sigh, "Thousands of years ago, the Daqian royal family and the Suzaku Academy were as close as one family, and many princes , the prince, and the princess are all academy disciples.
I don’t know since when, the relationship between the Daqian royal family and Suzaku Academy has become somewhat alienated. "
Zhang Liang frowned tightly. He didn't expect that someone in the palace would actually play the emotional card with him, and even use his master to suppress him.
For a moment, I felt a little embarrassed.
He knew very well that in the early days of the establishment of the Daqian royal family, the relationship between the academy and the royal family was excellent.
Otherwise, his master would not have supported the Li family in establishing a large cadre.
After thinking to himself, Zhang Liang looked at Chu Xiu, "Are you sure there is something you want in here?"
Chu Xiu nodded, "There is a sword here, and the sword's name is Tianqi."
"Apocalypse Sword?" Zhang Liang was startled, then looked at the proprietress and Zhu Yourong, and asked, "Which of you is named Mo?"
The landlady said softly: "Disciple Mo Shaojun."
"That's it." A flash of understanding flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he looked at Wuhuangsi again, and said calmly, "For the sake of the relationship between Wuhuang and Dean Sun, I don't have to interfere with Wuhuangsi.
However, since the Mo clan has found it, it is time to return the inherited sword to them.
Even the royal family should not rob other people's things. "
Inside the Emperor Wu's Sacrifice, there was silence.
After a long time.
There was a sound of footsteps inside the Emperor Wu Sacrifice.
An extremely old and thin white-haired old man slowly walked to the gate of Emperor Wu.
When everyone saw him, their expressions changed slightly.
This white-haired old man had no clothes on his upper body and was so thin that he seemed to have only bones.
The most shocking thing is that there is a sword stuck in the chest of the white-haired old man.
"This sword is the Apocalypse Sword." The white-haired old man looked at the people outside the Emperor Wu's ceremony and said softly, "This sword is the key to opening the Emperor Wu's mausoleum.
The old slave is one of the tombkeepers. If the sword is with the person, the person will die if the sword is lost. "
Chu Xiu stared at the white-haired old man's chest. It had been at least thirty years since the Apocalypse Sword was inserted into the old man's chest, and the long sword had already integrated with his chest.
Once the sword is pulled out, it will be difficult for the white-haired old man to survive.
"Are you Xiao Jiantong?" Li Xianyuan stared at the white-haired old man and asked slowly.
"It's hard for you. You can still remember the old slave's name. The old slave himself has almost forgotten it." The white-haired old man sighed.
Li Xianyuan straightened his face and introduced to everyone: "Xiao Jiantong, nicknamed Yin Xia, was famous in the world fifty years ago and was one of the best swordsmen at that time."
The white-haired old man said calmly: "The old slave became a tombkeeper when he was eight years old. He started to travel in the world when he was sixteen years old, and he has done chivalrous and righteous things. He has never done a single evil thing.
At the age of forty, he moved into Wuhuangsi, put the sword in his chest, and was responsible for guarding the Tianqi Sword. "
"The Daqian Royal Family is really good." Zhang Liang sneered and instantly understood what the white-haired old man meant.
He has always acted chivalrously and never done anything bad...then Suzaku Academy has no reason to deal with this person.
The white-haired old man said: "There is nothing we can do about it. In all the nineteen states in the world, only Suzaku Academy has the ability to take away the Tianqi Sword from Emperor Wu..."
