Luojing City, Princess Zhaoning's Mansion.
The fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen is also about to leave the capital and go to Laizhou Mansion to explore the immortal ruins.
Princess Zhaoning was very worried about her ignorant brother.
She spent a whole night packing Xiao Shangzhen's luggage and stuffed many magic weapons such as sky-breaking beads, glass bottles, green smoke armor, Youjin fans and other magic weapons into his packages. Painted talisman and seal script.
Before leaving, she kept urging in Xiao Shangzhen's ears: "Xiao Shangzhen, when you go to the Laoshan ruins this time, you must be very careful and don't be careless. The young monks who go with you are all big. The Qi Dynasty is one of the most favored sons in the world, and their methods are bound to be endless. Although you are a member of the royal family and practice the "Dragon Heart Sutra", one of the top martial arts in the country, and your qualifications are not bad, you are still inferior compared to those people. Some practical experience. I am very worried that you have been tricked by those people..."
"Sister, why are you more verbose than the old lady who sews clothes?" Xiao Shangzhen was lying on the window sill, playing with the dust on the window lattice and frowning, "You have told me these truths thousands of times. , I have already remembered it in my mind, and I am tired of hearing it all.”
"I'm not saying this just because I'm worried about you!" Princess Zhaoning reprimanded her with a straight face, "You think you are great every day and never practice sword practice! Think about it, last time you were in 'Lun Tao' When I met that 'Suzaku', didn't I get a severe beating from him?"
"That's a special case!" Xiao Shangzhen still wanted to quibble, "It's impossible for everyone to be like 'Suzaku', mastering techniques like "Seven Burning Sky Styles" that are almost cheating!"
"Huh," Princess Zhaoning said coldly, "the young people in Laoshan this time are not mediocre people - even if they don't know the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", they must also have other unique skills and can easily To hold you.
"By the way, according to the information I recently received, the 'Suzaku' is also going to the Laoshan ruins."
"'Suzaku' is going too?"
Hearing Princess Zhaoning's words, Xiao Shangzhen immediately jumped down from the window sill, waved his fist and said: "I lost to him last time in the 'Realm of Taoism', this time I must challenge him with my own hands. Get your place back!”
Seeing her brother's appearance, Princess Zhaoning sighed helplessly again.
"I mention 'Suzaku' to you, not to let you find a place, but to hope that you can find a way to make friends with him. He is a genius that has not been seen in a century in the Daqi Dynasty. There is a high probability that he will rise to the top and become a powerful practitioner in the future. He is a powerful figure in the political and power circles," she said patiently to her younger brother. "If you can take this opportunity to form a friendship with him, then he may become an important helper to our siblings in the future and help you fight for Thailand in the future. Ajian' and the succession to the throne are both extremely helpful."
Xiao Shangzhen felt quite unhappy when she heard the word "Tai'a Sword" from her sister again. But in order to prevent his sister from nagging in his ears, he nodded slowly.
"Okay. Since you say so, sister, I will reluctantly accept a younger brother."
"By the way, Xiao Shangzhen, I have one more thing to warn you," Princess Zhaoning paused for a moment, then said seriously, "After you go to Laizhou Mansion this time, you must not be put in the 'realm of discussing Tao' The code name in it is exposed to anyone - if other monks in the reserves of the 'Shenji Battalion' know that the fourth prince of the Daqi Dynasty is a pervert who likes to pretend to be a woman and shout 'good brother', then our royal family will lose face. .”
"Sister, I will pay attention to such small things myself! You don't need to remind me!"
"..."
In this way, the two siblings talked to each other, one kept nagging worriedly, and the other nodded perfunctorily.
When the early morning sun climbed over the treetops, a eunuch wearing a dark blue brocade robe came to the princess mansion.
It was Cao Tong, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony.
Cao Tong is a fifth realm practitioner.
This time, Princess Zhaoning specifically entrusted him to send Xiao Shangzhen to Laizhou Mansion.
"This time, please leave it to Eunuch Cao!"
"I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"
Then, Xiao Shangzhen took the luggage that Princess Zhaoning had prepared for him overnight, followed Cao Tong, stepped on the sword, jumped into the air, and flew quickly toward the northeast.
Luo Jing City became smaller and smaller in his field of vision.
The biting cold wind howled past, making his cheeks hurt.
"'Suzaku', just wait," Xiao Shangzhen thought secretly in his mind, "This time, I will definitely not lose to you again!"
Princess Zhaoning stood quietly at the door of the princess mansion, watching her brother disappear into the sky with a "swish" like a flying bird, and he was never seen again.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her worried emotions.
"This time, Eunuch Cao and Mr. Shi from Laizhou Mansion are taking care of this kid. He should be fine..."
"I hope he can take this opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the Immortal. After all, this is about whether he can come from behind, defeat his brothers, and win the 'Taea Sword'..."
"In addition, making friends with Yishui Gu Xu is also very important to us. In fact, I am very afraid that an arrogant boy like Xiao Shangzhen will mess things up..."
"Perhaps when Gu Xu comes to the capital next year, we will have to find an opportunity to meet him. For a practitioner like Gu Xu who comes from a civilian background and lacks resources, as long as we are given sufficient conditions, he will definitely choose to help us... "
…………
Shu Land, Jiange.
Su Xiao was still standing on the top of the cliff, waving the wooden sword in his hand as always, practicing the seemingly simple sword moves one after another.
At this time, a little Taoist boy hurried to his side and said to him: "Senior Brother Su, the Pavilion Master asked me to remind you that the Laoshan ruins will be opened soon, and the 'Shenji Camp' requires you to find Laizhou Prefecture before tomorrow. Qianhu Shilei reports for duty. Senior brother, please don’t forget this!"
"Yeah." Su Xiao's words were as brief as ever.
After the Taoist boy left, Su Xiao put down the wooden sword in his hand, returned to the thatched cottage where he practiced and lived, carefully took out a three-foot long sword in a sheath from a wooden box, and recognized it. Wear it around your waist seriously.
Su Xiao is an ordinary-looking person.
This sword also has an ordinary-sounding name.
It's called the "Three-foot Sword".
For many years, the sword remained unsheathed.
It's not because Su Xiao is reluctant to use it.
It's because he has not yet encountered an opponent worthy of drawing his sword out of its sheath.
This made him feel disappointed and bored.
"I wonder if the 'Three-foot Sword' will have a chance to be unsheathed during this trip to Laoshan..."
He sighed.
Then, he stepped on the wooden sword, turned into a ray of green light, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
…………
Luojing, the headquarters of the Exorcism Department.
Shangguan Jin was also preparing luggage overnight for the trip to Laoshan.
Not only does she carry many magic weapons.
At the same time, we are still trying our best to find all the information about Mount Laoshan, about Kongxuan Sanren, and about our fellow travelers, trying to use the "heavenly calculation" magical power to calculate what will happen next, so as to prepare in advance.
At this moment, Chief Luochuan suddenly came to her.
"Shangguan Jin, when you go to Laoshan this time, I have something to do for you."
"What's the matter, Sir Chief?"
"Protect 'Suzaku'."
