wind.
Hot and cold alternately blew out from the crack in the door of Jixia Underground Palace, causing the lights on the cave wall to dance with the wind, as if they would go out at any moment.
However, that light will never go out!
at the same time.
The weird music playing from the crack in the door made the front door of Jixia Underground Palace even more eerie.
At this time, I saw masked people dressed in black finally surrounding the Nine Dragon Coffin, all of them with bright eyes and excited eyes. The hands holding the sword were trembling slightly, which showed that they were excited!
at this time.
The leading masked man in black took out a conch from his waist, put it in his mouth, and played a weird tune, which was strangely consistent with the music coming from the gate of Jixia Underground Palace!
Immediately afterwards.
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound that sounded like heartbeats and collisions also sounded in the Kowloon coffin, and the beat actually matched the tune played by the masked man in black!
suddenly.
Two small slits opened quietly on the roof of the cave, revealing two pairs of smart eyes, staring at the movement in front of the underground palace door, looking carefully!
finally.
The masked man in black finished playing a song, put away the conch and said softly: "The nine coffins haven't been brought in yet. The day the Emperor of Daxia collects ten coffins, that's when we take action!"
"yes!"
All the masked men in black responded softly!
Then.
I saw a masked man in black walking to the left side of the palace gate and looking at the rising mercury. His eyes were full of confusion: "The mercury is constantly rising. As long as it rises to the point of submerging the ground, it will be difficult for the Emperor of Daxia to break through the door!"
"But why didn't he take action?"
"Can't guess!"
A masked man in black spoke: "According to the information we have received, the emperor has been eager to open the Jixia Underground Palace, eager to get the elixir of immortality, and want to live forever and become a god!"
"It seems like he has become a different person recently. I wonder what happened to him?"
At this time, I saw the masked leader walking to the oil lamp hanging on the wall of the cave. Looking at the lamp oil that seemed to never be consumed, his eyes suddenly turned red, containing boundless murderous intent!
Suddenly, I saw that the eyes of all the masked men in black were red, and their eyes were shining with light of hatred!
"Tear..."
The pants of a man in black were torn apart by the violent infuriating energy he emitted, revealing his reflective fish scales...
A quarter of an hour later.
The masked leader walked to the door of the underground palace and cast his eyes into the crack of the door, but saw nothing: "Listen to the music in the crack of the door. Does it sound like the legendary fairy music?"
"It doesn't look like it!"
"What's that like?"
"The ghost music from the underworld makes people want to jump when they sound it, it's so magical!"
"The wind blowing from the crack of the door is more like a sinister wind!"
The masked leader was stunned: "You said the reason why the emperor has not been in a hurry to open the door recently...is it because of the cold and hot wind? Or is there other reasons?"
A masked man in black mused: "Is it possible that the Emperor of Daxia was suddenly reluctant to kill the Crown Prince of Daxia?"
"impossible!"
The masked leader shook his head: "The Emperor of Daxia could kill his father, and even more so his son, in order to live forever!"
"It must be that the wind blowing from the crack in the door is not fairy wind, so it makes him hesitate!"
"The leader is wise!"
At this time, the masked man in black remembered something: "Have you ever found those transformed people from the outer islands?"
"Found!"
A masked man in black replied: "Before we set off, the spies had sent back information that those people were lurking in a cave in the suburbs, led by a priest, and they were also waiting for an opportunity!"
"There is an unfathomable master beside them, but our people don't dare to take action!"
The masked man in black put the conch into his sleeve thoughtfully: "Let's go!"
"When the emperor opens the door, we will complete our mission!"
"yes!"
The masked people in black returned the same way, but when they came in, the tunnel disappeared!
Immediately afterwards.
Only then did the two pairs of eyes in the darkness disappear, and the gap in the cave ceiling also disappeared, as if it had never appeared before!
Silence fell in front of the underground palace door again, and there was no movement in the Nine Dragon Coffin!
It's like the calm before the storm!
at this time.
the other side.
Guo Mansion in the south of the city.
The courtiers watching the ceremony were very relaxed. They drank with the groom Jia Ren one by one and sent their blessings!
Jia Ren was neither humble nor arrogant. He was liked by everyone and even appreciated by Emperor Xia!
The banquet lasted from noon to evening, and the guests and hosts had a great time!
In one afternoon.
Emperor Xia seemed to have forgotten his identity as emperor. He seemed reluctant to leave when he was next to Xia Tian, the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince, just like a loving father!
Finally, Jia Ren and Miss Guo entered the bridal chamber!
Emperor Xia was already tipsy: "Xiao Jiu, please accompany my father for a walk!"
"yes!"
"Everyone else goes back to his own home to find his own..."
Emperor Xia stopped talking before he finished his words: "Old man, lead the way!"
"Tonight there is a moon, Xiaojiu and I will go shopping in the imperial capital!"
"yes!"
Emperor Xia took Xia Tian out of Guo Mansion, and they walked on the street one after another.
The head of the Guo family watched the two of them go away, unable to conceal the excitement on his face. He clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky: "God, there is smoke coming out of the Guo family's tomb!"
far away.
Emperor Xia looked up at the cold moon, feeling the wetness and coldness of the melting snow, and said, "Come up and walk side by side with me!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian then stepped forward and stood side by side with Emperor Xia!
Looking at Xia Tian's shoulders, Emperor Xia sighed with emotion: "They are even taller than me!"
"Your mother-in-law raised you really well!"
Xia Tian doesn't accept Emperor Xia's sigh!
At this time, Emperor Xia frowned: "Xiaojiu, I am very worried about next year's war!"
"I know that in the face of absolutely powerful strength, any conspiracy and conspiracy are vulnerable!"
"Daxia was able to resist the enemy at the border this time because of your plan. It was a lucky victory and the territory was saved!"
"But what about next year?"
"The three major empires are all stronger than Daxia. Once they attack Daxia with their might, it will be difficult for us to stop them!"
"If the army is defeated, the Daxia Empire will become history, Daxia will destroy all living beings, and the Daxia people will become slaves of foreign tribes, or even be killed to death!"
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of this?"
"I thought about it!"
Xia Tian said solemnly: "So we have no retreat. The Great Xia Empire must win this battle!"
"Losing means death!"
"So I think... the marriage should be abandoned!"
Emperor Xia turned around and took a deep look at Xia Xia: "Since the covenant has been signed, we will send Sima Mei over to complete the covenant!"
"If the Sirius Empire gains Sima Mei and sends troops to attack, then they will be the ones who are treacherous!"
Xia Tian was silent for a moment!
He said firmly: "I will take Sima Mei back!"
"good!"
Emperor Xia was not surprised: "I am waiting for the good news!"
"Old man, come back to the palace!"
Emperor Xia turned and left!
At this time, looking at Emperor Xia's leaving figure, Xia Tian shouted: "Father, you have changed!"
"Yeah?"
Emperor Xia didn't look back: "Are you getting bolder?"
"yes!"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia's laughter reached the sky: "This time it's not because I don't want to bear it, but because I can't bear it anymore, so there's no need to bear it anymore!"
"I fully support this battle!"
"Let go and fight!"
"Win, Sima Mei returns!"
"Loss...Daxia will perish!"
"Emperor Sirius will never give us another chance to stand up!"
Emperor Xia goes away with the moonlight!
Xia Tian clenched his fists, looked up at the moon, and murmured: "Then fight!"
"Then let the world see the military power of my Daxia..."
