The flying palace is six hundred steps long and wide, with strange flowers and green dills planted on top, and colorful cyclones below, whirling back and forth.
And a huge bone in the shape of a dragon's horn was inserted at the front, which was ferocious and strange, but also powerful.
Those exotic birds that looked like squares came in groups to kill them, and often when they approached the Fei Palace, they would explode into the air for no apparent reason, leaving no trace of their corpses.
On the other hand, the color of the dragon's horn became more and more dazzling, and later on, there was still a faint whistling sound coming from it, stirring for miles!
And at this time.
In the hall in the middle of Feigong, there were eight or nine people sitting.
The person sitting at the main seat is tall and tall, with graceful eyebrows and skin like jade snow. He does not wear a crown, hairpin or other things. His hair is covered with green hair like ink, and he is dressed in a purple bagua robe with three feet of sword hanging from his waist. sword.
A small red-striped snake with claws on its belly curled up into a ball and lay quietly on his shoulder.
It is clearly a man's body, but in terms of appearance and posture, it is like a beautiful woman, with a feminine image.
This person is Xiao Xiujing, a direct descendant of the Hongguang Xiao family and the Dongxuan refiner of Changying Academy.
At this time, he looked at everyone in the hall, his eyes filled with coldness, but he said nothing, making the atmosphere in the hall extremely silent and depressing for a moment.
And after a few breaths passed.
Finally, there was a young man in a blue shirt who couldn't stand the tremendous pressure. He stood up and left the table with sweat on his face. He bowed deeply, bowed his hands to Xiao Xiujing and apologized, saying:
"Brother Xiao, my words are not meant to shirk the blame... In fact, the Liu brothers are sincere in their words and can be considered reliable in their actions. Thinking that we are all from a common family, and in this place where the fire is flowing in the cave. In the middle, the elder brother also needs some manpower to handle the chores, so the younger brother brought the Liu brothers to our side, but——"
"Liu Changji and Liu Changgong were nothing more than common people. Their biological mothers were singers and dancers. This was all because several of Liu Shibo's legitimate sons were jealous and died early. Otherwise, how could these two people be so lucky? How can I enter the house of the Liu family in Chishuo? How can I enter the lower courtyard of Yuchen to practice Taoism?"
Before the boy in blue shirt could finish his apology, he was interrupted by a sneer from a graceful woman.
She first smiled and saluted Xiao Xiujing at the main seat, then faced the boy in blue shirt and scolded him unceremoniously:
"How can you put them on a par with us? What do you mean!"
"Don't mess around! Now is not the time to chat with you!"
The young man in blue shirt obviously had an old grudge with the woman who made the remarks. Seeing her using the topic now, he felt even more annoyed.
The two sides began to argue after saying something to each other.
And this bustle, with the help of several people in the palace, became more and more intense, almost getting out of hand.
In the end, it was Xiao Xiujing who picked up the tea cup, coughed slightly in displeasure, and let out a breath of air to intimidate, and finally stopped the excitement.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and said nothing.
"Saburo... In my opinion, this fact is insignificant and not worthy of your thinking."
at this time.
There was only silence.
Seeing this, a dwarf wrapped in a golden robe rolled his eyes slightly and smiled leisurely.
"oh?"
Hearing what the golden-robed dwarf said, Xiao Xiujing smiled softly and said:
"Brother Yan, what do you mean?"
The boy in golden robe is named Qiao Yan. He was originally from the Qiao family in Mishan, but because he was born ugly, his parents asked the clan's great magician to divine the secrets and determine whether Qiao Yan would be successful in cultivation in the future. , will definitely hinder parents.
He was so confused that he was expelled from the Mishan Qiao family before he could remember the incident.
Logically speaking, Qiao Yan was raised in a small country where ordinary people lived. Although he never lacked food, clothing, carriages and horses, he also had no shortage of wealth.
But throughout his life, he was unable to know his true life experience and enter the door of spiritual practice.
However, by chance, Xiao Xiujing's father happened to pass by that small country because he was looking for a strange object. Seeing that Qiao Yan had extraordinary abilities, he simply brought Qiao Yan back to Hongguang Xiao Family and asked Qiao Yan to be given to Xiao Xiu. Jing became a book boy to accompany him.
However, because he was born with an ugly appearance and often felt sorry for himself, over time, Qiao Yan also developed a temperament that was moody, dissolute and prone to killing.
Although his qualifications were extraordinary, he was admitted to the Fourth Courtyard of Yuchen just like Xiao Xiujing.
But his reputation among the family has never been very good.
Except for Xiao Xiujing, who grew up with him, everyone stayed away from Qiao Yan and did not want to get close to him...
"These two idiots, Liu Changji and Liu Changgong, deserve to die! They clearly got the scroll from you, Sanlang, but after following the scroll's instructions and finding the palace of Ancestor Huoxia, they didn't even inform me. Just go in by yourself and want to have the good fortune in the palace for yourself!"
Qiao Yan smiled coldly, slammed the wine bottle in his hand on the table, and shouted:
"Even if they don't die, I will kill them for you, Sanlang. If such treacherous people remain in this world, they will also bring disgrace to the Chishuo Liu family!"
"..."
The boy in blue shirt frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he wanted to say something.
But after meeting Qiao Yan's eyes, his heart trembled inexplicably, as if he was being targeted by some evil beast.
In the end, he could only hide his face and let out a long sigh, turning his face away, not wanting to meet the eyes of the golden-robed dwarf.
"However, Liu Changji and Liu Changgong have limited means. Isn't the palace still intact?"
Seeing him glance away, everyone in the room had unnatural expressions and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Qiao Yan raised his eyebrows, with a sinister look in his eyes, and laughed slowly:
"I know what you are worried about, Sanlang, but with all due respect, your thoughts are really unnecessary!"
"What am I worried about?"
Xiao Xiujing didn't feel dissatisfied and said calmly.
"You are worried. Since the Liu brothers have taken you as their leader and respected your orders, but they secretly did such a treasonous and scandalous thing, do they already have disrespectful intentions? Or even give you to them? Their Cave Heaven Picture Scroll was secretly given to Liu Guan, Sima Mingye, and even Zhao Tong and Shen Cheng, and was sold for a good price. There are no shortage of possibilities!"
As soon as these words came out.
Xiao Xiujing's expression changed slightly.
As for the boy in blue shirt, he couldn't sit still at all. He jumped up quickly and said in a repeated voice:
"Brother Xiao Shi, although Liu Changji and Liu Changgong are greedy and greedy, they still know how powerful they are, and they don't have the guts to do this!"
It was the young man in blue shirt who gave Xiao Xiujing several suggestions that made the Liu brothers their own.
But they never thought that after receiving the cave heaven map scroll given by Xiao Xiujing, these two people went out to explore on their own initiative without informing Xiao Xiujing and others.
Not only did he not get the benefits in the palace, but he also lost his life.
Not long after Chen Heng entered the cave, the two monks he met who were chased by giant birds and died were the two brothers Liu Changji and Liu Changgong...
"Even if we sell it for a good price, so what, the matter is at this point, it's useless to say anything."
Qiao Yanbu pointed at the blue-shirted boy's nose and shouted, then sneered:
"Furthermore, since Sanlang has this scroll of flowing fire that transforms the cave, then the other few, like Liu Guan and Sima Mingye, aren't they from the twelfth generation clan? Don't they have it?
Just because of such a trivial matter, you are having internal strife? How funny! The creation left by ancestor Huoxia has not yet been obtained, and they have become a quarrel. This is really a complete rabble! "
Although he was pointed at the nose and scolded, he suffered such humiliation.
But the boy in blue shirt still understood the meaning of Qiao Yan's words, and couldn't help but gratefully handed it over.
Most of the others in the field were a little embarrassed.
Even Xiao Xiujing looked unnatural.
After all, Qiao Yan's words also vaguely trapped him...
…
The so-called Dongtian Picture Scroll refers to the ancestors of the Hongguang Xiao family who entered the Liuhuo Honghua Cave 10,000 years ago. At that time, they recorded the geography and scenery in the Cave and secretly described it in scrolls.
At that time, Patriarch Huoxia ran away from the Chiming Sect due to anger. After experiencing many things outside, he felt that he was alone and wanted to seek help from outside and form an alliance.
If something happens.
It is also very convenient to move out and use it in front to withstand disasters...
And the people in the family were quite moved by his flow of fire that transformed into the cave.
Both sides hit it off with their own thoughts.
To show his sincerity, Ancestor Huoxia opened his doors at that time and invited many elders from the twelve generations of clans to have a banquet in the Flowing Fire Honghua Cave.
And these family elders were not polite and took this opportunity to get a clear feel of the inside and outside of the cave.
I just wait for the opportunity in the future to break the door and take this small cave as my own!
However, although their calculations were good, they did not expect that Patriarch Huoxia would have an inexplicable conflict with Monk Haha, and then be beaten to death. Even Yuanling could not escape. As for this small cave, due to the arrangements arranged by Patriarch Huoxia during his lifetime, Suer suddenly escaped from Xu Dutian.
This incident caught the Twelve Generations off guard and they had no choice but to give up.
As for the pictures they painted thousands of years ago.
To this day.
Only then can it really be put to use...
Hearing Qiao Yan's words, although Xiao Xiujing was still a little unhappy, it was relieved a lot at this time.
Qiao Yan was not just talking nonsense, he did make sense.
Tens of thousands of years ago, all twelve generations of clans had accepted the invitation of Ancestor Huoxia to be guests in the Flowing Fire Honghua Cave Heaven, without exception.
Since the Hongguang Xiao family has a scroll of flowing fire that transforms into a cave.
It's like the other ones, and they should be pretty much the same.
At this time, if you continue to be suspicious and angry about the dead Liu brothers, it will not only be useless, but it will also make your subordinates alienate and aggravate the discord.
After thinking about this situation, Xiao Xiujing felt a little relieved.
Seeing Qiao Yan wink at him secretly, he quickly understood and comforted the young man in blue with Wen Yan.
After half a quarter of an hour, everyone exited the main hall, and the atmosphere was much calmer than before.
And the young man in blue shirt had a trace of gratitude on his face that was hard to conceal.
"If you hadn't said anything, Brother Yan, I would have almost lost my mind and made a big mistake..."
now.
Xiao Xiujing and Qiao Yan were the only two people left in the palace.
Xiao Xiujing shook her head and sighed softly:
"My father often said that I am not sociable and that I am not as good as my eldest brother and my second brother in dealing with people. I was not convinced at first, but after going through all kinds of things, I have no choice but to be convinced. How can I be calm when dealing with these idiots?
For example, the Liu brothers, I followed my eldest brother's example and treated others with sincerity without restraining them at all, but this is how these two idiots repaid me? ! "
At this point, Xiao Xiujing's tone became louder and her anger could not be suppressed.
"..."
Qiao Yan shook his head secretly, but didn't say anything more.
Xiao Xiujing is extremely talented and has been practicing hard in seclusion for many years. He is also extremely ignorant of the so-called human nature and sophistication.
Although he is now learning and selling his skills, in the end, he is still lagging behind compared to his elder brothers.
The death of the Liu brothers was nothing more than a trivial matter. If we continue to make such a big fuss, it will only make our subordinates have other ideas, which is really unwise.
But even though he was thinking this way in his heart, Qiao Yan would not say it openly.
Although he was on good terms with Xiao Xiujing, his loyal words were offensive...
And after complaining a few words about himself.
Xiao Xiujing sighed again and said:
"My father gave me the Cave Heaven Picture Scroll in the hope that I could get some opportunities in the Cave Heaven, but how could Ancestor Huoxia's palace be so easy to break through? Brother Yan, I'll tell you the truth, after all, it's already Wan As time goes by, time is passing by so fast that we must guard against it!
I was also afraid that after all the hard work, I would go in and explore, only to see some ancient ruins. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort? "
Qiao Yan thought for a while, looked at Xiao Xiujing, and said solemnly:
"Although this is reasonable, you have to see these alien species that are all over the mountains and plains...
It is said that the ancestor Huoxia had a wonderful idea in the past years after he obtained a small part of the "Sutra of Rebirth", and specially spent his efforts to capture a few innate gods and monsters.
In an attempt to use that short half of the "Sutra of Rebirth" as the foundation, steal the bloodline of innate gods and monsters, seize the wonders of the Mysterious Tribulation, and use human power to create a group of real gods and monsters!
Although the success failed in the end, only these superficial alien species were left...but this appearance also confirmed that Patriarch Huoxia indeed had the "Book of Rebirth" in his hands! "
""The Sutra of Rebirth"? Do you want to say that this ancient ancient text may exist in the palace? This is too absurd and trivial!"
Xiao Xiujing shook her head after hearing this.
"Even if there is no Book of Birth in that palace, it is not unreasonable to say that there are bones of innate gods and monsters."
Qiao Yan laughed: "Look at these alien species in the cave. Aren't they all created by Bi Fang, Ying Yuan, and Tu Mo? You can't get the Sutra of Rebirth, you have to get the remains of three gods and monsters." , and also made a lot of money!"
"What if even the gods and monsters are missing?"
Xiao Xiujing shook her head again.
"Then you can only consider yourself unlucky!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
And they were discussing how to open the palace's restrictions, persuade Liu Guan, Sima Mingye and others, and get the inner creation in their hands.
Seeing that Qiao Yan seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally directing the topic to Chen Heng.
Xiao Xiujing pondered for a moment, his eyes flickered a few times, and he understood Qiao Yan's intention.
"You and I have been like siblings since we were young. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why bother beating around the bush?"
Xiao Xiujing laughed, raised his hand, and something flew out of his sleeve and fell towards Qiao Yan:
"There are many people in this cave who want to kill Chen Heng. Don't be the one who stands out. You will end up in ashes... I will give you this thing to protect yourself. Be careful in everything!"
