Jianming Chaos

Although the mist gas did not spread, Zhiming still smelled the remaining smell, and said in surprise: "Oh no, this is Suhongsan! Brother Sagi, hurry up and deal with your opponent!"

Mai seemed to be under mental control, and raised the knife fiercely to strike, the speed was so fast that even the trajectory of the knife's attack appeared afterimages.

Zhiming flashed quickly with the posture of a peregrine falcon darting through the sky, and the light of the sword flashed past the opponent's eyes like a silver light, and the opponent's weapon was shaken off without dust.

Immediately, he sent his left palm out, the air quickly condensed into crystals, and a wave of strong energy sent the sackcloth flying away.

Mai suddenly fell to the ground, apparently suffering internal injuries.The awakened beast is no match for the hunter's guns.

Sagi also restrained Miyu with the skill of "snatching the blade with one hand", and knocked her down in one go.He himself was also very tired, and he didn't expect to spend so much energy to deal with a female warrior.

Qianye asked the samurai to carry the two men in sackcloth to heal their wounds, walked over clapping their hands and said, "You two's martial arts opened my eyes, I admire, admire! Your Majesty is right, you are indeed capable of defeating the Four Heavenly Kings of Onimu."

"It's not that I have the ability to defeat, but I have already defeated." Zhiming corrected her.

Qianye smiled, without explaining, turned sideways in a gesture of welcome, and said, "You two, please follow me in to see Your Majesty."

"Strange, looking at her, is it possible that the Onimu Four Heavenly Kings are still dead?" Zhiming entered the Holy Maiden's Club with doubts.

On the way, he recalled the battle just now and thought: "I recognize that is the smell of Suhongsan. Gubosi said that it was a high-grade mist developed by the Yuezhi people of the Guishuang Empire. How could it appear in the This country? Could it be that... the queen's clutches have extended to the west?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt creepy; but then he thought about it, how could the power of a small Yamatai country expand to that side?There is a big man who has to go around in the middle.Maybe I thought too much, probably it was spread from the black market.

Zuo Mu didn't think too much, he just wanted to confirm that the queen would not attack Yidu country; for him, this was the real purpose of this trip.He must give himself, the feudal government and even the people an explanation.

The two met the queen again.The queen had expected that the beautiful bodyguard was not her match early in the morning, so she was not surprised at all, and she was still enthusiastic; it was a pity that the two had no intention of appreciating it.

After Qianye withdrew, Zhiming took out the looming magic soul ball from his arms, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, this is something you have always wanted. Its owner is dead, and I want to hand it over to you."

The queen's eyes lit up, as if she had found her long-lost sister, and said, "The magic soul ball! This thing will be delivered to the door automatically! It seems that he didn't lie to me!"

"Who is he? Or is she referring to her?" Zhiming wanted to ask, but finally held back.

"In this way, that magician from Han soil was defeated by you. He once said that on the day he was defeated, he would definitely try to deliver this magic soul ball to me." The queen's face was full of emotions Miscellaneous, both surprises and disappointments; both confident and worried.

"It seems that His Majesty knew him before?" Zhiming felt that the relationship network was quite complicated.

"That's right. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with an incurable disease, and the medicine failed. All the top pharmacists in the country were helpless. Later, in order to survive, I secretly went to a big man." The queen broke out again.

"Your Majesty, have you...been to Dahan?!" Zhiming was dumbfounded; Zuo Mu was also surprised.

"That's right, the whole process was kept low-key. Few people in the palace knew about it, and the prince only found out about it later. I heard that the big man has a magical herb that can cure my terminal illness, so I went to the other side to find this life-saving herb."

"What kind of herb? Only big men have it?" Zhiming found it inconceivable.

"Even if we find medicinal herbs, it's useless to make alchemy without a well-versed herbal master," Zuo Mu added.

"At that time, I met a magician in Jiangdong, and he pointed out a bright way for me. It turned out that the place where he usually practiced magic - there was this kind of magical herb growing on Soul Tomb Mountain. Its name was - Ghost Needle grass!" When the Queen thought of this, her face immediately glowed.

"Ghost needle grass?" Zhiming and Zuo Mu had never heard of it.At that time, ghost needle grass was not common.

"That's right, I heard that only a very small number of places where Yin energy gathers can grow this kind of shade-loving plant. In fact, there are also on Shen'an Mountain, but because of the lack of Yin energy, the growth is too small, and the effect cannot be guaranteed; and there are no alchemists. I had no choice but to take a long way to Dahan. I heard that Dahan has a genius doctor named 'Hua Tuo' who can refine all kinds of magical medicines. If I can find ghost needle grass and this genius doctor, I will be saved." The queen's expression It seems to be back to the beginning.

"Judging by His Majesty's current expression, it seems to have succeeded?" Zhiming asked cautiously.

"It's, it's not." The queen nodded slightly, and said, "I was secretly traveling across the ocean in a small boat, escorted by a few hermits in plain clothes. Almost everyone thought that I was practicing secret arts in the dark mountain of God. , I have already embarked on the sea route to Dahan. After landing, I met two people who can change my destiny."

"Who?" Zhiming was eager to know the truth.

"One is the sorcerer you just defeated, and the other is Zhao Cheng." The queen stated truthfully.

"Zhao..." Zhi Ming quickly changed his words, "There are too many big men with the surname Zhao. I don't know who His Majesty is referring to?"

"He is the leader of Tiangu Sect, the largest good religion in Jiangdong." The queen said word by word.

"Sure enough, it's Hierarch Zhao! I didn't expect the queen to meet him! The prince also said he knew him. What kind of trouble did Hierarch Zhao get into?" Zhiming thought in surprise, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Your Majesty still has this kind of experience?" Zuo Mu didn't know anyone, but felt strange.

"One of them helped me, and the other harmed me. It's a bit embarrassing to say." The Queen opened her eyelashes and covered her mouth to smile, not knowing whether she couldn't help laughing or forced a smile.

"From this point of view, the person who helped him must be Dalei Magician, and then Zhao Cheng was the one who harmed her. What did the leader of Zhao do to offend the Queen of the Japanese Kingdom?" Zhiming was suddenly afraid that the Queen would use tricks to harm Tiangu. teaching, but still pretending to listen calmly.

The queen was about to continue talking, when suddenly Qianye broke in and whispered a few words into her ear.

The queen's face sank, and she gave her a few words in Yamatai.Chiba hurriedly backed away.

The queen pondered for a moment, and said to the two of them: "Okay, that's it for today, I won't say much more. Mr. Zhiming, thank you for sending the ball over in person, and I accept it."

After all, she reached out to catch the ball.However, Zhiming withdrew his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think we must follow the principle of equivalent exchange. Since you are unwilling to finish talking, can you give me something?"

The queen was taken aback, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Zhiming, you really know how to joke! Didn't this king say that you saved Yacheng, can you go and receive the reward?"

"No, one yard is equal to one yard. Your Majesty is a smart man, so he should know how to do it." Zhiming stared at the Queen's eyebrows, not giving an inch.

"Let me guess...you want to take Mutsuki away?" The Queen squinted at Zhiming.

"...Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness just now, but I really don't have such thoughts. I just want to gain more power." Zhiming avoided the Queen's gaze while expressing his wishes.

The queen waved her sleeves chicly, and said to the two with a charming "side face kill", "Don't you know where this is? Do you really think that you have room for bargaining?"

Due to his position, Zuo Mu couldn't make a statement.Zhiming resolutely went all out and said: "Of course we are aware of our situation, but please also understand the current situation: First, without the presence of bodyguards, Your Majesty is not afraid of us hijacking you? Second, Your Majesty really thinks that those Goguryeo people have given up. Siege the city?"

"No, I don't think so." The queen said without hesitation, "The Goguryeo people can't give up this great opportunity. It took them a day or two to plan this attack. They are currently recharging their energy outside the city and ready to move. About Jie Regarding driving, I advise you to give up your thoughts, I am fully capable of self-protection."

After all, two balls of fire rose from her palm, and the entire meditation room was suffocated like a scorching furnace; the walls on all sides were cracked by the high-temperature air.The two couldn't help taking a step back.

"It seems that she really has the power of the sun!" Zhiming didn't want to participate in this kind of "hot party", so he said quickly, "That's right, those enemy soldiers are still lurking outside the city, like a pack of wild wolves. If you want to save Ya City, I have two suggestions for your Majesty's reference."

"What suggestion?" The fireball on the queen's palm disappeared, and the indoor temperature gradually returned to normal.

"First, the safety of the members of the Shinjinkaku, especially Ms. Mutsuki, must be ensured. Although she did not collude with the enemy country, at least she can restrain the behavior of the enemy soldiers in one aspect. There is no doubt about it; The future ability will at least allow the city to take preventive measures in advance to minimize the damage caused by the war." Although Zhiming has seen the Queen's strength, he still has to maintain his aura and not back down.

"Since she can predict the future, why can't she predict the invasion of the Goguryeo people? Or, in fact, she was planning the whole thing? At least she also participated in it?" The queen rebelled.

"..." Zhiming was speechless for a while, regretting that he had put on too much force.

"Your Majesty, I think what Shiming-kun means is that Mutsuki is devoted to patriotism, but because of..."

"Don't say too much!" Before Zuo Mu finished speaking, the queen interrupted him and said, "My lord knows better than you about Mu Yue! Back then, my lord made a fool of herself and promoted her to the position of the God Division. What a shame!" Mistake. Many people still think that the entire Shenshen Pavilion belongs to me!"

"With all due respect, what does His Majesty mean by 'looking away'?" Zhiming was puzzled.

The queen seemed to have something to hide and said nothing.The two didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they had to wait for a while.

After a long time, the queen finally spoke: "I know the matter of Muyue well. Don't worry, I won't embarrass her anymore. Let's take it as a reward for saving Yacheng. In fact, I just received the news. The Goguryeo people outside have already taken action, and they will soon come to the city."

"No way? I just said it casually, but it turned out to be a prophecy? Even if the enemy came back, how could she know so quickly? It couldn't be that Mu Yue told her. Could it be that there was a secret operation outside the city?" Zhiming couldn't figure it out. .

Thinking of this, he said: "Your Majesty, just now I said that I have two suggestions. The second one is: Please allow us to stay for a while and help your country fight the war."

"The question is, what reason do you have to help our country retreat from the enemy?" The queen stretched out her hands.

"The reason is simple. We don't want to start a new war." Zhiming stepped forward and said, "I hope His Majesty can tell us some unknown secrets. To be honest, I have a vague feeling that Cai Yan is still in the In the capital city, a voice sounded in my heart from time to time, reminding me that I must investigate the truth of this matter."

The queen was stunned for a moment, put down her posture again, and said earnestly: "Every country has its own secrets, and this country is no exception, including the matter of Cai Wenji. A new war is about to break out. I advise you to leave as soon as possible and don't meddle in your own business. There are some things that you can't afford to mess with."

"Your Majesty, we never take the initiative to cause trouble, but since the fire has burned us, we have to come forward to solve it. Yes, we have no right to intervene in everything. I can just put this ball down and leave as if nothing happened. But there is one thing please Your Majesty clearly understands that we came to your country in the pursuit of peace. Zuo Mu did it to save Yidu from war; I did it to send Cai Wenji back to her hometown, so that she could return to her family... or to her master. , in order to eliminate some of the fuses of the war, although in the end things backfired. At this point, I think that both Zuo Mu and I are inseparable from this war, so please regard me as an ally, and tell us everything that needs to be told. I will definitely do my best to assist your country in repelling the enemy. The more information I get, the more beneficial it will be for me to find people, and even avoid unnecessary wars." Zhiming said in a sincere tone.

"Judging from your tone, it seems that you also have an old enemy in Dahan? Is the matter of saving lives related to your old enemy?" The queen heard something.

"...To be honest, I came to your country not only to find people, but also to practice. I am a warrior, so I will not let go of any opportunity to practice. I believe His Majesty knows about the secret mountain of God. We After defeating the Four Heavenly Kings of Onimus, I also took this opportunity to improve my skills." Zhiming's answer was rather cryptic.

"The Four Heavenly Kings of Guiwu..." The queen sighed, "Jiuyin is right, the devil can never stop the determination of gods and humans."

"What's the secret of Shen'an Mountain? Why did Your Majesty go there to practice secret arts? I heard from the tea shop guy at the foot of the mountain that it was originally a very ordinary mountain with no ghosts at all." Zhiming asked directly.

The queen thought for a moment, and said: "I can tell you the secret about Shen Anshan and me, as a condition for exchanging the magic soul ball. In fact, this country is the same as other countries. Ruled by it. Six years ago, Ksitigarbha Pluto violated the laws of heaven and earth to vent his anger on humans because of his disharmony with the gods, and created a shocking earthquake that affected all countries in the archipelago, causing heavy casualties. About the earthquake I think Sagi-kun should still remember the matter."

Zuo Mu nodded, this was a tragic experience that was unbearable to look back on but unforgettable for a lifetime.

"Later, Tianyulongshen came forward to end the disaster, and sealed the soul of Ksitigarbha Pluto in the 'Holy Pot of Sealing Demons', affixed a seal of the gods, and buried it somewhere in the Shenyin Mountain. However, since then From then on, perhaps because the soul energy of Ksitigarbha Pluto leaked out of the pot, ghosts and ghosts began to grow in the dark mountain." The queen revealed the secret of the ghost mountain.
