big week bad guy

Chapter 338 White Lotus Mask (nearly 20000 words super chapter)
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the truth.

The restriction of the academy is not so easy to break.

And the location of this vision stone is relatively hidden.

In this case, even if the intruder broke through the restriction, they might not be able to find the vision stone easily.

"Tsk tsk, third senior brother, so who is responsible for the daily maintenance of this vision stone?"

"I guess the head of the mountain should have completed the daily maintenance himself."

Long Qingquan talked eloquently: "Because no one knows about this vision stone so far."

Long Qingquan's words made Zhao Xun fall into deep thought.

If the head of the mountain has been maintaining the eye stone, he must be worried about something.

So what is the head of the mountain worried about, so he is not willing to use his hands on others.

It was difficult for Zhao Xun to understand in a short time.

"Senior brother, you asked me to come here just to see this?"

"Yes, otherwise."

The third brother Long Qingquan spread his hands and said: "Now that I have seen the eye stone, we are going to have a good meal. Little brother, there are only food and love in this world that cannot be let down, right? This is you Said."

Uh…

It turns out that the third senior brother is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking.

"Okay, third senior brother, what do you want to eat today?"

"It's still my younger brother who understands me."

Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Barbecue, let's have barbecue today."

This answer is undoubtedly what makes Zhao Xun feel the most despair.

Barbecue is the most troublesome thing to do.

Although it is delicious, it is really delicious, but it is smoky, and the whole person may be blackened into carbon.

But since the third senior brother Long Qingquan asked for barbecue, Zhao Xun couldn't refuse.

Not giving face to Third Senior Brother is not giving face to oneself, Zhao Xun obviously didn't want to do something that would not give him face.

"Okay, do you have any requirements for the ingredients? I'll prepare them right away."

"Well, as for the ingredients, you can just look at it."

Third senior brother Long Qingquan nodded with a smile.

"Well... okay, then I'll look at the combination of meat and vegetables."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that the third senior brother, Long Qingquan, had given him great autonomy.In this way, Zhao Xun had to make good preparations to prevent third senior brother Long Qingquan from picking faults.

After all, in this case, as long as the cooking is not delicious, it must be Zhao Xun's fault.

Zhao Xun couldn't bear such a big responsibility.

...

...

The preparation of the ingredients is all about the heart.

As long as you cook with your heart, the taste of the dishes will not be bad.

Hot pot and barbecue should be the cooking methods with the highest degree of freedom.

But a high degree of freedom does not mean that there is no need for norms, and a high degree of freedom does not mean that you can do whatever you want.

"Hey, what I'm most afraid of is being casual, and what I'm most afraid of is that you will watch it. Because then I don't know what the point is, and then I don't know what kind of ingredients to choose to satisfy the third brother Long Qingquan. "

So Zhao Xun could only rely on his previous understanding of the third brother Long Qingquan to select the ingredients.

This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing.

But Zhao Xun had no choice.

"The third senior brother, Long Qingquan, loves to eat meat. He loves to eat meat very much, so there must be barbecue. You don't need to think about beef, so choose mutton."

In this era, it is a crime to kill farm cattle, so generally speaking, beef cannot be eaten.

As a substitute, the importance of mutton is reflected.

However, the taste of mutton is still quite different from that of beef, and mutton has a smell of mutton. If it is not handled properly, it will greatly affect the taste.

Therefore, Zhao Xun must be cautious in the selection of mutton, and there must be no defective products that will affect the overall quality of the barbecue.

So far, barbecue can be regarded as a big killer, which is similar to hot pot.

In addition to meat, fish and shrimp can also be added.

The small yellow croaker tastes pretty good when grilled, and whoever eats the grilled prawns will know.

In this era, there is no need to think about grilling seafood, otherwise grilled oysters, grilled scallops, grilled squid...

Tsk tsk, Zhao Xun's mouth is watering just thinking about it.

These are his favorite barbecues in the past.

If it can be paired with beer, the taste is really amazing.

It's a pity that transportation in this era is a big problem.

If seafood, fish and shrimp are not marinated, it is basically difficult to transport them to the Central Plains.

Even if it is forcibly transported to the Central Plains, the smell must be stinky.

Qin Shihuang is very experienced in this regard.

After his death, his body used rotten fish and rotten shrimp to cover up the smell.

If you want to eat seafood, you'd better live by the sea, or you can eat enough at one time when you travel to seaside states and counties. There seems to be no other way.

"Tsk tsk tsk...Seafood is really my favorite, but it's a pity that we don't have the good fortune to enjoy it in this era."

Zhao Xun sighed and said, "So let's use Hexian instead. Although the taste of Hexian is still different from that of seafood, it is already the best substitute that can be found now."

In addition to river seafood and mutton, vegetables are also indispensable.

Vegetables are actually a large category, which can be subdivided into several categories, one is green vegetables, the other is fungi, the third is potatoes, and the fourth is miscellaneous vegetables.

Let me talk about the first green vegetables first. As the name suggests, the main food is green vegetables.

The taste of green vegetables is very special, which belongs to the adjustment after eating big fish and meat.

Of course, in barbecue, there are still relatively few vegetables.

The most famous is roasted leeks.

Just thinking about the taste of roasted leeks makes Zhao Xun feel endless aftertaste.

As for fungi, it is a big category in barbecue.

Zhao Xun's favorites are roasted Flammulina velutipes and roasted mushrooms.

The taste of these two fungi is the most special, even if you only taste it, you will find it unforgettable.

As for potatoes...

Baked sweet potatoes and baked potatoes are definitely the handles in the barbecue world.

All the friends Zhao Xun knew didn't like to eat these two kinds of food.

All in all, as long as there are roasted sweet potatoes and baked potatoes, the quality of the barbecue feast will definitely not be bad, and the reputation will not be bad.

As for the last miscellaneous vegetables, such as roasted garlic, such as baked steamed bun slices, such as baked buns.

These flavors are very good.

But none of them are the main course, at most they can only be tasted as a condiment.

Zhao Xun must pay attention to the collocation during barbecue.

It is important to ensure that the combination of meat and vegetables does not appear too monotonous.

How can there be less peanuts and edamame when grilling.

These two can be described as must-have delicacies for barbecue.

And then there's the drinks.

The necessary beverages can greatly elevate the barbecue and fill the diner with a sense of happiness.

Zhao Xun thinks that beer and plum soup go best with barbecue.

Forget about beer.

The production process is still somewhat complicated, and Zhao Xun can't make it in a short time.

But you can try the sour plum soup.

The taste of sour plum soup is very sour and refreshing, and it can play a role in dispelling heat.

Generally speaking, sour plum soup is a popular and universal drink.

As long as it is launched, there will be nothing wrong.

"Tsk tsk..."

Sour plum soup is paired with barbecue, and the gods will say yes when they see it.

Finally, there are some accompanying side dishes.

You can make one for salad vermicelli, and you can also make one for cucumber.

Everyone will like the celery and bean curd stick. Finally, there is a cold preserved egg.

Absolutely!

Just do it!

...

...

I have to say that preparing a self-service barbecue is definitely tiring and tiring.

Even though Zhao Xun was already very experienced and had listed all the ingredients needed in advance, when it came time to prepare, he found that it was not as simple as imagined.

In an instant, Zhao Xun became depressed.

Good guy, this is too difficult.

Zhao Xun has tried his best but still feels that something is wrong, this feeling is really too bad.

But Zhao Xun is very clear that he cannot bring negative emotions to everyone.

It's hard to hold a barbecue party, and the atmosphere must be created well.

If the sense of atmosphere is not done well, it is easy for the rhythm to be completely lost.

"Be happy, it's another day full of energy."

Zhao Xun kept giving himself psychological hints, hoping to stimulate emotions in this way.

Facts have proved that this still has a certain effect.

When the brothers and sisters from the academy arrived one after another, Zhao Xun immediately had a smile on his face.

"It's better to come early than to come. The timing of the brothers and sisters is really too coincidental. My barbecue ingredients, side dishes and drinks have just been prepared, and you have come. This is really perfect."

"Well, Junior Brother, we are looking forward to your barbecue feast. I hope you won't let us down."

The third brother Long Qingquan said with a smile while rubbing his palms.

"Uh…"

Zhao Xun smiled awkwardly and said, "Everyone's taste is different, but I think the barbecue banquet I made should be for the public. So everyone should like it."

"Well, let's have a good taste in a while! Let's see how it tastes!"

...

...

Zhao Xun arranged the barbecue area as a self-service, next to the bamboo forest, which can be described as beautiful and very leisurely.

It is undoubtedly a very happy thing to have a barbecue in such a leisurely environment.

Coupled with Zhao Xun's careful planning and preparation, almost everyone felt his sincerity.

Zhao Xun was naturally very pleased about this.

"This is the vegetable section, here is the mushroom section, here is the potato section, here is the miscellaneous vegetable section, here is the cold dish section, here is the snack section, and here is the dessert section..."

But Zhao Xun's arrangement is really too complicated, so he has to introduce it to his seniors little by little to ensure that there will be no omissions.

"Little brother, what you prepared is really rich. The dishes are really diverse."

The third senior brother glanced at Zhao Xun seriously while listening to Zhao Xun's introduction.

It has to be said that these dishes are in line with the taste of the third brother Long Qingquan.

"Tsk tsk tsk...Little brother, I didn't expect you to prepare so many side dishes. You really have a heart."

Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou nodded in satisfaction.

"Little brother, you really impressed my senior sister and me today. The senior sisters like the dishes you selected very much."

Senior Sister Xiao Ning revealed a kind look.

Even Second Senior Sister, who has always been picky, showed approval at this moment.

"Little brother, is this sour plum soup enough for you? I'll just take a sip of it."

"... "

"Of course, if the sour plum soup is not enough, you can refill it at any time."

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Second Senior Sister will have a lot of new desserts in a while, so you have to save some stomach to eat, don't drink sour plum soup and you won't be able to eat when you're full."

As soon as she heard that there was dessert to eat, the eyes of Second Senior Sister Liu Yingying couldn't help but light up.

Although she is indeed losing weight now, no girl can refuse the temptation of desserts.

What's more, the desserts made by the younger brother are unique.

It would be a pity for Zhao Xun to taste such an exquisite dessert.

"Well, junior brother, you have to hurry up and serve dessert."

"By the way, what's the dessert this time?"

The tiramisu cake last time impressed the second senior sister Liu Yingying deeply.

So he looked forward to the dessert Zhao Xun made this time.

"This time I made blueberry tart, panna cotta, and strawberry smoothie."

Zhao Xun reported the desserts he had prepared this time in one breath, and everyone couldn't help but look over with envy.

"What is this egg tart!"

The naive tenth senior brother asked first.

Uh…

It is difficult for Zhao Xun to answer this question.

What is an egg tart...

How on earth should he describe it?
"Egg tarts are baked. The outside is crispy, and the inside is warm egg liquid. After baking, the egg liquid solidifies and becomes semi-solid like egg custard. Brother Ten has eaten egg custard, the taste is similar of."

Brother Hanhan Shi began to salivate in an instant.

"I like egg custard the most. The steamed egg custard with sesame oil is absolutely delicious."

"Is it so fragrant?"

"That's for sure."

Brother Ten's eyes lit up when he mentioned egg custard.

"The taste of egg custard is the best I've ever tasted in my life. It's hard for me to describe it, but it only takes one bite and you will never forget it."

After the tenth senior brother Xu Rong said this, Zhao Xun couldn't help drooling.

"I'm going to try to make egg custard with my own hands after I finish this barbecue meal. I heard from you, Senior Brother Ten, that it's so delicious. If I don't try it, I'm sorry for myself."

Of course, now is not the time to be greedy, at least not now.

As the host of this barbecue party, Zhao Xun must always ensure that he is in a state of full energy.

But whenever the brothers and sisters need him, he must stand up without hesitation and show his gentleman side.

...

...

“Dessert time is here!”

Seeing that the brothers and sisters were eating right, Zhao Xun took out desserts at the right time.

"Cream pudding, blueberry egg tart, strawberry smoothie, big servings, don't miss it when you pass by."

Zhao Xun instantly transformed into a cute model, and walked past the brothers and sisters respectively.

"Tsk tsk, let me have an egg tart."

"Well, get me a smoothie."

"The panna cotta looks good, let me cut a small piece."

The enthusiasm of the brothers and sisters for desserts is naturally expected by Zhao Xun.

No one in this world can say no to sweets.

Although eating desserts will make you fat, there are still many people who flock to desserts.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the taste of this smoothie is really amazing, it melts in the mouth and is extremely smooth."

The third brother Long Qingquan was overwhelmed by the taste of the smoothie after only one sip.

"I really didn't expect the taste of panna cotta to suit my taste so much. At first, I was worried that it would be too greasy."

Senior sister Xiao Ning said approvingly.

"This egg tart is so delicious, I want to come again, one bite at a time, I can't get enough of it."

Lu Guangdou, Hanhan tenth senior brother, had egg tart pastry sticking to his hands, not to mention how happy he was.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Xun's mouth curled into a smile.

...

...

Everyone is really good, this is Zhao Xun's true inner thoughts at this moment.

It's so wonderful to be able to hold this barbecue party with my brothers and sisters.

But the good times are always short-lived.

After drinking and eating, there is a mess left.

Clearing up all those leftovers and dishes can be a pain in the ass.

When Zhao Xun was desperate, the third brother Long Qingquan extended a helping hand.

Then the elder sister, the second elder sister, the sixth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother all came back.

For a moment Zhao Xun was very moved.

"Brothers and sisters..."

"You don't need to say anything, little brother, we are tired from logging."

"Uh…"

"Come on, if there is anything we need to do, just say hello. There are many people and strength, and we can clean up here as quickly as possible."

...

...

Although there are brothers and sisters joining in, cleaning up the party scene is still a big project.

After everything was tidied up, Zhao Xun was almost paralyzed from exhaustion.At this moment, he just wanted to lie flat and do nothing.

"It seems that this kind of party cannot be held frequently in the future, at least not all the time. At most, it will be held once a month."

It's really cool to have a party, but the clean-up time after the party is really tortured.

This is undoubtedly a test of mental strength and willpower.

It is difficult to heal Zhao Xun's wound in a short time.

Although it is painful and happy, it is really painful.

"Hey, barbecue is really not a human job. I'm so smoked by the smoke and charcoal fire, it's like rolling in mud. It seems that I need to take a hot bath to remove the smoke and dust."

But at this moment Zhao Xun found that he didn't even have the strength to get up and take a shower.

Lie flat, he just wanted to lie flat.

...

...

"His Royal Highness is too impatient."

Zheng Jie frowned and said helplessly.

"Who says it's not? Right now, it can be said that the wind and the trees are full of fire. It's really not appropriate to make trouble at this time."

Feng Hao also followed Zheng Jie's words.

"Our family feels that we can't let His Highness the Prince's temper mess around at this time. After all, this is a moment of life and death."

"yes…"

Feng Hao said worriedly: "Shence Army, Longwu Army. None of these are good. Not to mention that the imperial city and Miyagi's prohibition formations have been raised to the highest level. As long as there is a slight change in the formation, the formation will immediately warn. What we are doing at this time is tantamount to moths to a flame, and eggs to a rock."

"But what does His Royal Highness want to say? His Royal Highness seems to be impatient."

"Hmph, naturally you can say what you want. His Royal Highness is so arbitrary before ascending to the throne. If he ascends to the throne, he will be fine? Wouldn't he become the second His Majesty again?"

In fact, Zheng Jie did not reject Emperor Xianlong at first.

Although Emperor Xianlong was good at playing tricks, he actually kept the court under control.

As for playing tricks, this is what an emperor should do.

If an emperor has no desire for power, that is the biggest problem.

But the problem is that Emperor Xianlong couldn't listen to any other people's advice at all in the later period.He became headstrong and supercilious.

This is very fatal for a king and an emperor.

It is even more devastating for a court and a country.

Zheng Jie had no choice but to make up his mind after several times of admonishment and persuasion to no avail, and chose to support the prince to launch a palace change and replace him.

It can be said that this is an impossible solution, a choice after desperation.

As long as Zheng Jie had any other choice, Zheng Jie would not betray Emperor Xianlong.

In Zheng Jie's view, the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least.

The king is nothing more than managing the country in place of God.

If the king becomes faint, he can be replaced by a capable person.

But the problem is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou is too much like Emperor Xianlong.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with a son being like his father, but the problem is that the prince's likeness to Emperor Xianlong is not in the aspect of being overturned, but in the aspect of arrogance.

This problem is huge.

Zheng Jie was afraid that he had braved the bloody storm to put the prince on the throne with great difficulty, but in the end the prince became Emperor Xianlong II again.

In this way, Zheng Jie was in vain for fetching water from the bamboo basket.

But now that Zheng Jie has chosen to be loyal to the prince, there is really no good way except to follow this road to the end.

If he abandons the prince, can he still choose other kings at this juncture?
Even if he dares to be loyal, the rest of the kings will not dare to use it, right?
This is the most embarrassing place for Zheng Jie at the moment.

Feng Hao's words are also the same.

Now they are grasshoppers on a rope.As long as there is the slightest deviation, they will die together without a burial.

"Duke Zheng, don't worry too much. I believe His Royal Highness is just impulsive. As long as His Royal Highness calms down, there will be no problem."

"Well, I hope so."

Zheng Jie let out a long sigh.

...

...

Qin Tianjian.

Yuan Tiangang sat cross-legged on the ground breathing.

For him, the series of recent events is very important.

He tried again to win the respect of Emperor Xianlong to replace Master Huiyan in his mind.

Since Master Huiyan came to Chang'an, Emperor Xianlong followed like a demon, frantically seeking Buddha and Dharma.

There is a faint tendency for the Taoist sect to lose power.

This was something Yuan Tiangang could not accept anyway.

Because this is not only about his personal future, but also about the future of the entire Taoist sect in the Central Plains.

Once the Buddhism of the Western Regions expands in the Central Plains, it will undoubtedly squeeze the living space of Taoism.

Daoism will inevitably decline.

It was with great difficulty that Yuan Tiangang supported the Daoist sect to this point. It is impossible for him to watch the Daoist sect being replaced by the Western Region Buddhist sect.

So he could only choose to make a move, and he could only choose to compromise with Emperor Xianlong.

If Yuan Tiangang wanted to attract Emperor Xianlong's attention, he had to come up with something that would attract him.

In other words, Yuan Tiangang must show his own value.

Yuan Tiangang was finally forced to use the Grand View Mind Technique to look in the direction of the East Palace.

In the end, he got a very important piece of information.

The Prince of Donggong wanted to rebel.

Although the prince has long been disobedient.There was also an uproar in the DPRK and China.

But after all, there is no real evidence.

Without real evidence, Emperor Xianlong could not convict the prince.

But Yuan Tiangang made up for this by using the Grand View Mind Technique.

What the Grand View Mind Technique sees is incomparably real.It can be directly submitted to the imperial court as evidence and handed over to the three courts for trial.

Yuan Tiangang's step can be said to have completely offended the prince.

But he has no choice.

He had to do this to please Emperor Xianlong, so that the Taoist sect could overwhelm the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions in the Central Plains and regain their new life.

...

...

Zhao Xun slept until the sun was high before getting up.

He looked at the sky, it was already noon.

He was so tired that he had to rely on sleep to recover his strength.

Even so, Zhao Xun still felt sore all over.Especially the arms, which have been kept in a deadlocked position, grilling lamb kebabs there, not to mention how tired they are.

Now Zhao Xun only felt that his forearm was filled with lead, it was really painful.

Fortunately, he no longer has to be a laborer.Otherwise, no matter how hard and tired you were yesterday, you will have to get up quickly the next morning to accept the beatings from the society.

Thinking about it now, the days he used to work in the bad people's yamen were simply not human.

The feeling of being devastated still makes Zhao Xun feel lingering fear.

Emperor Xianlong is really not a son of man.

Why did he work for such a dog emperor for so long?

Fortunately, Zhao Xun woke up in time and finally chose to go to freedom.

His background is also strong enough to support him to make corresponding choices.

After all, with the support of the mountain chief, Zhao Xun really has nothing to fear in this world.

Zheng Jie?

Although this old eunuch is a super master, he is nothing compared to the head of the mountain.

As for Yuan Tiangang, this old fox seems to have been neutral all the time.

Zhao Xun obviously doesn't need to worry too much about the imperial court's oppression now.

He needs to focus on dealing with the Corruptor's invasion.

The Corruptors are really not human, they burn, kill and loot at every turn.

They wantonly suppressed those who disobeyed their rule.

Take a look at the tribes in the continent of Alan Lore, which one is not suffering from the Corruptor.

But they were too weak to resist, and they dared not speak out.

So these tribes can only choose to flee.

Fortunately, the portal of darkness opened, which gave these tribes the possibility to escape.

Otherwise, most of them would be trapped to death in the continent of Alan Lore.

But the crux of the problem now is that if you want to fight against the Corruptor, you must fight against the manipulator behind the Corruptor——Satan.

Satan's control over the Corruptor can be said to be comprehensive, and it can be said that the Corruptor is completely acting according to Satan's will.

Zhao Xun has now learned that Satan can transform into any human form.

Therefore, the Academy must not take it lightly.

There is no doubt that the formation eyes in the ink wash pool are very important, which to a considerable extent determines whether the Corruptor and Satan can approach Zhongnan Mountain and whether they can approach the Academy.

Once these guys approach, the eyes of the array should immediately warn, right?
"Ah, it seems that we still have to invite Han Bohu to come and see if we can strengthen this large formation in Zhongnan Mountain with our teacher, Daoist Qinglian."

If this large formation can be strengthened, they will appear more confident when facing the invasion of the Corruptors.

...

...

In the bamboo forest, the head of the mountain is playing chess with Yao Yan, the sword fairy of the bamboo forest.

The highest state of chess is the fortune.

If it can reach the realm of heavenly calculation, it will be a crushing advantage for the opponent, and it will be a dimensionality reduction blow.

"I didn't expect this move. The old man also got it by chance."

The head of the mountain gently stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan's brows were all knit together, and he was in a state of extreme distress.

"Shan Chang's move is really perfect. I never thought that you would fall here."

"No regrets, you can't go back on your word."

The head of the mountain laughed.

"I don't regret it, of course I don't regret it. I'll abandon my son and admit defeat."

"Haha, you have always been a character who refuses to admit defeat. You always feel that it is not that you are not as good as the old man, but that you are not lucky enough."

The head of the mountain paused for a moment, stroked his beard and said, "Are you convinced this time?"

"Tsk tsk..."

"I've taken it, I really took it this time."

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"Just bet on whether Satan will come to the academy."

For a moment, the smile on Yao Yan's face disappeared.

It was replaced by dead silence.

"I bet not. The academy is a place of beauty and beauty, and the aura of Confucianism gathers and thrives. How could Satan have the guts to come to the academy? Not to mention you are here."

"The old man bet that Satan will come."

The words of the head of the mountain made Yao Yan feel like he was slapping himself in the face when he said it just now.

"Why did the head of the mountain say that?"

"Because the old man's intuition is very accurate."

The head of the mountain said: "And the old man can feel that Satan will come soon."

hiss.

Yao Yan couldn't help gasping.

"So soon?"

"It's not too soon, actually. It's been months since the Corruptors invaded our world. They've just been watching."

The head of the mountain paused and said: "The old man knows what they are afraid of. What they fear are the two great formations in Chang'an City and Zhongnan Mountain."

The head of the mountain said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, as long as they destroy the eyes of the array, they will have nothing to fear."

"But the formation is in the academy. They have to enter the academy first to destroy it. How easy is it?"

"It depends on Satan. If Satan dares to take form, it will not be difficult to do this. Then the entire Corruptor will be able to triumph."

Undoubtedly, the head of the mountain has a deeper understanding of the situation than Yao Yan.

Yao Yan naturally had great trust in the head of the mountain, so when the head of the mountain said these words, Yao Yan seemed worried.

"So if Satan really came in form, can the head of the mountain tell it?"

"Maybe."

"Uh...then have you beaten Satan?"

"It might work."

This is the first time Yao Yan has heard Shanzhang give an uncertain answer recently.

Yi Shan's self-confidence is usually what he says.

But facing Satan, the head of the mountain showed uncertainty for the first time.

"There is no doubt that Satan is the strongest in the continent of Allen Lore. And the old man is the strongest in this world. The two strongest have never fought against each other before, so it may not be easy to say if they really fight."

The head of the mountain said unhurriedly: "I can only guarantee that I will not lose. But what will happen in the end depends on fate. However, I think that the two sides will not really go to war, and it is more likely to stop Some."

What Shan Chang said is actually very clear.

The possibility of the supreme powerhouses fighting to the death with each other is very low.

Because they don't know how many cards their opponent has.

If you make a rash move, you may expose your weakness to the opponent.This can be fatal.

Because the top players will not give you a chance to adjust, they will seize the opportunity to beat you hard.

As long as they catch a slight weakness, this weakness will be infinitely magnified and snowballed continuously, without even the slightest chance of turning over.

"Shan Zhang, now you are the hope of the whole world, please take care of yourself."

...

...

The emperor is the emperor, and he must have the dignity he should have.

It coincided with the Longevity Festival, and Emperor Xianlong decided to hold a banquet in the Daming Palace to celebrate his 59th birthday.

As the name suggests, Wanshou Festival is a festival set up on the birthday of the emperor, and it is the first prize of longevity.

Since Emperor Xianlong came to the throne, the Longevity Festival has been held dozens of times.

Emperor Xianlong will have a different feeling every time.

At the age of 30, Emperor Xianlong celebrated the Longevity Festival with high spirits and high ambitions, ready to roll up his sleeves at any time.

At the age of 40, Emperor Xianlong already felt a little tired after celebrating the Longevity Festival.

By the age of 50, Hsien Loong was tired and even began to dread the Wanshou Festival.

Because he is over half a hundred years old, and his life is dying.

The extinction of life is something that no one can avoid.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are a cycle.

Even the emperor cannot escape this cycle.

Emperor Xianlong felt very desperate, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to hand over the power he was holding.

Emperor Xianlong felt uncomfortable even if this power was handed over to his direct descendants and handed over to his children.

In the final analysis, Emperor Xianlong was a very selfish person.

He couldn't bear to have his power taken away from him.

So Emperor Xianlong was afraid of getting old and dying.

But since Master Huiyan, an eminent monk from the Western Regions, came to Chang'an and settled in the palace, everything has changed.

Master Huiyan said that Emperor Xianlong was born with amazing bones and was very suitable for practice.

Moreover, the emperor's aura on Emperor Xianlong's body also greatly assisted his practice.

Emperor Xianlong didn't need to practice step by step like other practitioners, but could take shortcuts.

As long as Emperor Xianlong took one step lightly, he could reach the realm of a great master.

Emperor Xianlong was in ecstasy all the time.

It was an irresistible temptation for him.

Although cultivating immortals can't really become immortals, there is still no problem in prolonging life.

For Emperor Xianlong, who is approaching his sixtieth year this year, a moment to live is a moment, and a year to live is a year.

As long as he has the hope of longevity, Emperor Xianlong will try it without hesitation.

This is the same as the intention of Emperor Xianlong to take the Taoist elixir.

After being taught by Master Huiyan, Emperor Xianlong really felt that his roots were transparent.

Today's Emperor Xianlong has completely broken through the previous limit and can perceive the world beyond his previous understanding.

This point is crucial.

Because Emperor Xianlong felt that he had opened the door to this practice world.

Perception is the first stage of practice, but only after entering this stage can one better develop one's own practice ability.

Emperor Xianlong thought that his talent was good, otherwise he would not have reached the ninth rank so quickly at such an old age.

He still has a long way to go after that.

The help and support of Master Huiyan is indispensable in this.

Without the support of Master Huiyan, Emperor Xianlong felt that he might go astray, and even get completely stuck in some checkpoints.

If he was younger, Emperor Xianlong would not be afraid of detours.

But not now.

Emperor Xianlong is now old, and time is what he lacks the most.

So what Emperor Xianlong is most afraid of now is to take a detour.

He must ensure that he is always on the right path, only in this way can he quickly reach the realm of a great master.

At that time, Emperor Xianlong would not have to fear that he would die of old age in a short time.

For quite a long period of time, Emperor Xianlong will maintain the state of his peak and prime of life, and then he will formally feel those things that he once lost.

All those things will come back.

This is also the reason why Emperor Xianlong attached great importance to Master Huiyan.

As for balancing the power of the Taoist sect with the help of the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions, that's all by the way.

Of course, Emperor Xianlong still had to rely on Master Huiyan to fight against the invading Corruptors.

Daomen will also play an important role in it.

Emperor Xianlong would be very good at maintaining the balance between the two, so that both Taoism and Buddhism in the Western Regions could be used by him.

As for those who dared to provoke Emperor Xianlong, they would definitely jump out at this time, and Emperor Xianlong just seized this opportunity to catch them all.

Just like the princelings, like the kings who are ready to move.

They think they are chess players, but they don't know that they are just chess pieces.

All their words and deeds were under the strict supervision of Emperor Xianlong, and their actions were all under Emperor Xianlong's control.

Emperor Xianlong was just putting a long line to catch big fish.

When it was time to close the net, Emperor Xianlong would close the net without hesitation.

Longevity is a great opportunity.

Emperor Xianlong not only wanted to have a grand banquet for his ministers in Daming Palace, but also set up a family banquet.

The object of participating in the family banquet is the prince and the kings.

Emperor Xianlong really wanted to see if the prince dared to attend the banquet at this time.

The crown prince has been together with Zheng Jie and Feng Hao for so long, so he should already have a comprehensive plan and consideration, right?

Although Emperor Xianlong had received Yuan Tiangang's warning, he still wanted to see the prince's plan more clearly.

He wanted to see how well this heir whom he had carefully cultivated for so many years could perform well in the palace change.

Emperor Xianlong would also feel sad if the crown prince stretched his hips too much.

Because it means that his careful cultivation over the years has been a complete failure.

This means that the development trajectory of the prince is completely wrong.

Although Emperor Xianlong knew that the final victory must belong to him, Emperor Xianlong still hoped that the prince could display the palace change more beautifully.

After all, this is the tradition of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the tradition of the Li family.

Emperor Xianlong himself also relied on the palace change to rise to the throne, and he knew very well that the most important element in the palace change was stability, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Only by doing these three points can you defeat your opponent and succeed.

If not, most of them will be the losers.

Winners take all, losers lose all.

This cannot be changed in any way.

Wonderful, it really is getting more and more wonderful.

At this moment, Emperor Xianlong couldn't wait to start the family banquet.

He felt that this family banquet was a key point in the competition between the various forces.

Ox ghosts and snake spirits haunt one after another, each showing their magical powers.

...

...

Yuan Tiangang glared at Li Chunfeng fiercely, and reprimanded him: "How many times have I told you, Master, don't touch Master Huiyan's bottom line, you are going to provoke him, if you really make him anxious, you will go crazy!" , how can we bear it?"

"Uh...Master, I really don't like that demon monk. He has only been in Chang'an City for a few months, and he has confused His Majesty. But how long have we followed His Majesty? Why are we so confused by him, an outsider? Embarrassed?"

Li Chunfeng was obviously dissatisfied.

He puffed up his chest and said indignantly.

"Nonsense, how can you be arrogant at this time!"

"Teacher, my whole heart is for the Taoism, and I have no second thoughts. If you think I have other thoughts, you can kill me immediately, and I will not hide!"

However, Li Chunfeng was also stubborn. After being forced by his teacher Yuan Tiangang, he straightened his neck in an instant, like a fat goose with a stupid head.

"Why are you so ignorant?"

Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang let out a long sigh.

He really didn't expect his apprentice Li Chunfeng to follow him for such a long time but still couldn't understand this truth.

"How many times have I told you, my teacher, sometimes you can bear it if you can bear it. You see, the situation of our Taoist sect is very bad now. On the surface, it is caused by the strong invasion of the Buddhist sects in the Western Regions. But if you go deeper Look, what is the reason for this?"

Faced with the questioning from his teacher Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng was dumbfounded for a moment.

In his opinion, it was because of the invasion of Buddhism in the Western Regions that the Daoist sect fell out of favor.What else could be the reason?What else could be the reason?
"Master, I think it's the fault of that demon monk."

"No."

Yuan Tiangang saw that his apprentice Li Chunfeng was stubborn, so he could only explain to himself: "The main reason why our Taoist sect will lose power is not outside but ourselves."

Li Chunfeng was stunned when he heard it.

"How is this possible, teacher. How could it be because of ourselves?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "What do you think is the most important factor? Could it be that our Taoist sect is too arrogant and offended Tianwei?"

"Uh"

"Think about it again and see if that makes sense."

"It seems to be so."

"Really? Our Daoist sect takes us too seriously. As a teacher, we sometimes get carried away, thinking that we can be equal to the head of the mountain. But in reality? Our Daoist sect does not have the status of other academies at all. As a teacher We don’t have the status of the head of the mountain. We have accepted the canonization of the court, and we are officials of the court, but we have to put on airs here to pretend to be garlic. No emperor can bear it. A person with a strong desire for power. Such a person values ​​the power in his hands more than anything else. If we want to survive, we must not challenge his authority, otherwise we will die extremely miserable."

Yuan Tiangang spoke very seriously, and Li Chunfeng listened very seriously.

I have to say that there is nothing wrong with what the teacher said.

Li Chunfeng thought about it carefully, his previous behavior was really too impulsive.

The impulsive behavior directly led to him having to face the bitter fruit he planted alone.

"When you provoke Master Huiyan at this time, it is undoubtedly equivalent to taking the initiative to put the handle in his hands. Do you think this Master Huiyan is as kind as he looks on the surface? Let me tell you, he is a very sinister person. .”

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said: "If you give him the opportunity, he will not hesitate to bite. He is like a lone wolf, he will only stare fiercely at the injured prey He will not hunt and kill groups of prey. The reason is very simple, because he knows that his strength is not enough to deal with groups of prey. Such behavior is no different from courting death."

"So the teacher means that we should report to the group to keep warm, and try not to give this demon monk any trouble? As long as we don't show our flaws, this demon monk will have nothing to do with us?"

"That's what I mean."

Yuan Tiangang nodded, his apprentice finally understood, and it was not in vain that he had said so much.

"As long as we don't show our flaws, this demon monk won't be too obvious. Because he has to take into account his image in front of His Majesty. Our Majesty, we value the superficial things the most. The more we show things The more you have to behave well. If you don't pay attention at all, you are likely to violate his taboo. Don't you think this demon monk has always paid attention to this aspect?"

Li Chunfeng followed the train of thought of his mentor Yuan Tiangang, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

From the beginning to the end, this demon monk, Mage Huiyan, acted like a savior. The key point was that he knew how to restrain himself, and he was not in a hurry to show his edge.

This will undoubtedly increase a lot of goodwill with Emperor Xianlong.

After Emperor Xianlong saw all this, he would trust Master Huiyan to the greatest extent.Because he thought Master Huiyan met all his requirements for a master.

Low-key and humble, high-strength, open-minded, loyal and reliable.

The combination of these elements made Emperor Xianlong simply unable to refuse.

But Yuan Tiangang knew that all of what Master Huiyan showed was just a disguise.

If it weren't for Emperor Xianlong's great role and value to him, this monstrous monk would never be so low-browed.

The reason why this demon monk was able to behave so docilely was because he felt that there was something to be gained.

"So we have to bear it all the more. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to reveal the true face of this fellow. Of course, after the end of the war not long ago. Although this fellow's character is not very good, but he has to admit that his strength is still very strong." Strong. So we have to pretend to cooperate with him as much as possible, first solve the upcoming crisis and then make other calculations."

Yuan Tiangang's actions can be described as bearing the burden of humiliation.

He was able to persevere until now, all because of Taoism.

If it wasn't for the Daoist sect, he didn't have to do any Qintian Supervisor or Great Zhou State Teacher.

But for the sake of Taoism, he can only choose to endure.

It was impossible for the Central Plains dynasty to let the sects completely override the court.

If the sect wants to develop and grow, it must first obtain the permission of the imperial court.

Only with the permission of the imperial court can the possibility of development be obtained to the greatest extent.

Master Huiyan was also very aware of all this, so he catered to Emperor Xianlong without limit.

Although Yuan Tiangang was not ashamed of such behavior.

But under the pressure of Master Huiyan, he could only reluctantly do so.

Because he knew that if he didn't do this, he might be completely thrown away by Master Huiyan.

This is by no means what he wants to see.

Therefore, he had to change his previous aloof attitude and try his best to show his favor to Emperor Xianlong.

Everything is for the Daoist sect, he has no regrets in doing so.

Compared with a year ago, the current situation is much better for Dongyue Sword Master Wei Wuji.

He spent a lot of time practicing, and now he has healed all his injuries and has improved his cultivation to a certain extent.

As for how much these cultivation levels have been improved, Wei Wuji is not very clear.

He only knew that with his current strength, he shouldn't have much pressure to challenge the high priests of the Yuan Tiangang Demon Sect.

as for that man
As for the head of the mountain, Wei Wuji still had lingering fears.

He now has a psychological shadow on the head of the mountain.

He didn't know why there was such an embarrassing situation, but it was indeed the truth.

The strength of the head of the mountain was far beyond his expectations. He once challenged the head of the mountain beyond his capacity, and what he got was naturally a disastrous defeat without any surprises.

This fiasco made Wei Wuji have to re-examine his position.

Doesn't his being number two in the world seem a bit misleading?
If he really had a hard power that was slightly inferior to Shan Chang, he wouldn't have lost so thoroughly and so ugly, he would have been beaten with a black nose and a swollen face, right?
This loss is really too ugly.

At least from the current point of view, Wei Wuji can't find a point where he can defeat the head of the mountain.

This is very hopeless.

He may not be able to beat Shan Chang, but it is impossible for him not to see the comeback point.

This is so real that he didn't even have the slightest chance.

If he confronts the head of the mountain, he will not win one out of ten times.

Even if the number of times is increased, there will not be even one victory in a hundred times.

He really has no chance at all.

This is so hopeless.

Wei Wuji knew very well that there was a gap between him and the head of the mountain. He must have been aware of this from the beginning of his entry into the arena to the time when he became a sword master in Dongyue.

But the problem is that he really didn't know that the gap between the two sides would be so large.

Since then, Wei Wuji began to practice in closed doors.

There is no harm without comparison.

After making the comparison, Wei Wuji realized how huge the gap between him and the head of the mountain was.

That's a really huge gap.

The gap is so huge that Wei Wuji has to use all his strength to catch up, and he can still hope that the head of the mountain will not realize the Tao and leave him far behind.

But even though Wei Wuji could push himself to the extreme, he couldn't control the state of the mountain leader.

Just for now, the mountain leader is still a height that he can't reach at all.

So this time, Wei Wuji had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would not conflict with the academy, let alone conflict with the head of the mountain.

As long as he doesn't provoke the head of the mountain into the arena, Wei Wuji still has a pretty good chance of killing Emperor Xianlong.

Especially when he heard that Emperor Xianlong had a falling out with the eunuch Zheng Jie recently.

With the dog emperor without this stinky guardian around, Wei Wuji's confidence has increased a lot.

As for Yuan Tiangang, this old Taoist priest seems to have gotten very close to the dog emperor recently.

Wei Wuji felt that this would be a troublesome matter.

After all, Yuan Tiangang's strength is still very close to that of Wei Wuji.

If there really was a fight, Wei Wuji was not sure that he would throw Yuan Tiangang away in a short time.

If he could not throw Yuan Tiangang away, he would not be able to concentrate all his attention on Emperor Xianlong, and naturally he would not be able to complete the assassination.

This is really annoying.

But this is not something Wei Wuji can decide.

Instead of worrying about these things here, it is better to think about how to sneak into the palace without anyone noticing.

The reason why Wei Wuji was able to successfully avoid the ban and sneak into the palace last time was mainly because of the siege of Chang'an City by the Mozong and the Nanman witches and Gu masters.

This battle caused the formation of Chang'an City to be artificially destroyed, so that he could easily sneak into the palace.

But under normal circumstances, when the formation of Chang'an City is intact, the restriction of the imperial city and Miyagi will be a very annoying existence.

Under the influence of these restrictions, Wei Wuji's stride frequency and movement speed will be greatly affected.

He can't run at full speed, can't sprint at full speed, and even jumping will be greatly affected.

In this way, Wei Wuji couldn't use his full strength at all.

God knows if there are any hidden masters in the palace.

If a few more stinky eunuchs with the same strength as Zheng Jie pop up, Wei Wuji will face great pressure.

So the most ideal situation is that Wei Wuji can show extremely strong lethality from the very beginning.Push back those guards who dare to approach.

These guards eat the emperor's food, and it is their duty to serve the dog emperor.

But when it comes to the fear of their lives, they probably have to weigh it carefully, whether it is more important to work with the dog emperor or to save their own lives.

Of course, those who work for the dog emperor can be rewarded and rewarded, and their families and families will also be honored and favored.But if he is dead, he won't be able to see them all.

When a person dies like a lamp goes out, all this will be over.

So Wei Wuji knew very well that as long as he could give enough threats to these guards, he would have achieved his goal of forcing them back.

There are not many people in this world who are willing to serve the emperor with all their might.

Except for old monsters like the dead eunuch Zheng Jie.

Fortunately, now this old monster has broken with the dog emperor.Otherwise, Wei Wuji would really face a big problem.

Well, the current situation is really confusing.

It would be great if Wei Wuji could form an alliance.

If you go it alone, there will always be various uncertainties.

Just who to ally with?
Who is worthy to ally with him?
Wei Wuji has traveled the rivers and lakes for many years and gained his current name and status. He has long looked down on ordinary practitioners.

All he can look up to is a small group of people.

But these people are either his enemies, or they are neutral and will never take a shot to favor any side, or they are already dead.

Wei Wuji felt that the people he could team up with were those he disdained to team up with.

Master is so lonely.

Although he has not yet reached the realm of a mountain chief, at his level, Wei Wuji can't find any reliable allies.

Wei Wuji felt very depressed, but he still had to go on this road without hesitation.

He has no choice.

Now that he has set the goal of killing the dog emperor, he will carry it out without hesitation.

If not once, then twice.

If it doesn't work twice, then three times.

If not three times, then four times.

If four times is not enough, then five times.

In short, Wei Wuji firmly believed that he would have a chance to successfully cut off the dog's head of Emperor Xianlong, and then bring it back to Dongyue and hang it on the city wall as a public display.

Zhao Xun got up early and stretched his waist, and then started to make a healthy breakfast.

He has gotten used to this rhythm recently, getting up early to make breakfast and then exercising.

Maintaining a good life pattern is the most critical step in becoming an excellent practitioner.

If not, it would be very difficult for him to maintain his state, let alone further reach the realm of third-rank cultivation.

The cultivation realm of the third grade seems to be very close, but in fact it is quite a distance away from Zhao Xun.

"Yesterday I made a double-sided omelette, so I changed it to a single-sided omelet today. Life can't always be the same, because it will make people feel boring."

Zhao Xun likes to read some chicken soup articles while making breakfast.

Because it makes him feel motivated.

Sometimes chicken soup does not mean mistakes, chicken soup can give people quite positive energy.

To gain vitality, chicken soup is an essential part.

Of course, people need to know what is part of the chicken soup, and they cannot be completely affected by the chicken soup.

Because the existence of chicken soup is only to create positive energy, but if it creates your own confusion, it will not be beautiful.

"Well, sometimes, I really need to learn more dishes, otherwise I really can't cope with the old gourmets like the brothers and sisters of the academy."

There is no doubt that the brothers and sisters were all "brought down" by the head of the mountain.

As the saying goes, "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked".

It is precisely because the head of the mountain likes to eat so much, so the brothers and sisters are also led by the head of the mountain to like to eat.

It is precisely because the brothers and sisters are also taken to like to eat, so Zhao Xun must practice his superb cooking skills to cook and serve them
This is really too difficult.

For a moment, Zhao Xun felt tremendous pressure.

It is very difficult to serve so many people to eat at the same time.

Youdao is hard to say.

The brothers and sisters are not all from Chang'an.They come from all over the world, so there will naturally be great differences in taste.

Zhao Xun knew very well that he must not be careless at this time.It is really a loss if there is a difference because of the taste problem.

Anyway, he is also famous as a chef.

This name must be kept no matter what.

After making breakfast, Zhao Xun excitedly mixed a glass of milk and was about to go out when he saw his sister Zhao Danshu jumping in.

"Brother Xun hugs."

Seeing little loli rushing towards him, Zhao Xun was so frightened that he put the breakfast aside.

Good guy, this is the breakfast he cooked so hard. It would be a pity if the little guy washed it away like this.

"Oh, why are you here?"

"Brother Xun, the sun is already rising, why can't I come. Hey, what is it, it smells so good!"

Zhao Danshu smelled the fragrance and came over on her own.

Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment.

The little guy's nose is really good enough, can he smell this?
This is what Zhao Xun did not expect.

"Brother Xun, did you make this for me?"

Facing the girl with big Kazilan eyes, Zhao Xun didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Uh.
This can really be regarded as a death question.

Zhao Xun grinned immediately after his brain was running fast and said: "Of course, this is for you. Danshu, brother still remembers that you said that your favorite food is fried eggs with one side. Big brother has always made this point Keep it in mind, so I quickly made a copy for you to try."

"Well, brother Xun is the best."

The little loli giggled, revealing a pair of cute little dimples.

Zhao Xun melted instantly.

Ah, the little guy is too cute.

How can it be so cute?

He really couldn't bear to have such a troublesome little goblin at home.

"In addition to fried eggs, there are also fried toast and hot milk. Breakfast should be nutritionally balanced, with a combination of meat and vegetables. Only in this way will the nutrition be sufficient, which will make you grow taller and fatter of."

"Uh"

The little loli Zhao Danshu tilted her head to kill, nodded thoughtfully, and then began to suck her fingers.

"Well, what brother Xun said seems to make sense, but I seem to have said just now that the sun is already high, so it should be noon now."

"."

Zhao Xun was extremely embarrassed for a moment, and his entire neck was flushed red.

Good guy, is this little guy so serious?

"Oh, it seems to be noon. But it's okay to eat the whole thing at noon. Sister, have you ever heard of a way to eat, called brunch."

"Brunch? What does that mean? I've never heard of it."

"Uh, the so-called brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch. This way of eating originated from a different world, er, from the continent of Allen Lore."

"Ellen Lore Continent? I've heard of it!"

Zhao Danshu looked extremely excited for a moment.

Zhao Xun was stunned, he confirmed again and again: "Have you heard of it?"

My sister has heard of Ellen Lore Continent?
This is impossible.

Zhao Xun remembered that he had never told Zhao Danshu about the Alan Luoer Continent, how did she know?it's unreasonable
"Sister, don't lie to me, it's a puppy who deceives people."

Zhao Xun used his trump card.

Whenever he said this sentence, Zhao Danshu would giggle non-stop.

At this time, Zhao Danshu will reveal the truth.

"I didn't lie, I didn't lie. The reason why I said that is because Brother Xun said in his dream that Alan Lore was a black wizard or something."

Uh.
Dreaming, it turned out to be a dream.

Damn it!

Zhao Xun was speechless for a moment.

Dreaming kills people.

It's a good thing that because of a dream, the girl heard so many things that she shouldn't have heard!

If it weren't for dreaming, it would be impossible for the girl to hear about the dark wizard or the mainland of Alan Lore.

After all, the girl is still so young, she shouldn't bear the pressure at all.

These pressures should be shouldered by Zhao Xun and others without hesitation.

"Oh, you heard it wrong, or I'm talking nonsense, big brother. Don't take it to heart. Actually, this Alan Lore continent doesn't exist at all, it was made up by big brother."

Zhao Xun hurriedly frantically went back to find love.

He knew that children's memory was not so strong.

If he can't find love quickly, and Zhao Danshu forms a fixed memory, it will be as difficult as heaven for him to find love back then.

He didn't want Zhao Danshu to be corrupted by such a dark wizard and corrupter at such a young age.

At the age of my sister, she should enjoy life without any worries.

"Well, really?"

The little loli Zhao Danshu started tilting her head again, and now Zhao Xun is completely out of control.
"Of course it's true, it's the puppy who lied to you."

Zhao Xun had no choice but to say so.

"Okay, the hook hangs up, and it cannot be changed for 100 years."

……

……

After Zhao Xun coaxed his sister away, he immediately began to study the history of the continent of Ellen Noel.

As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles.If he can't understand the history of the Ellen Noel continent, he won't be able to deal with a group of enemies in a targeted manner.

Although he already had a certain understanding of the major races in the Alan Noel continent before.But it is necessary to do some in-depth and necessary understanding.

Zhao Xun knew that the continent of Alan Lore was actually divided into two parts, east and west.

The east side is mainly the gathering area of ​​human race and dwarf race.

To the west is the gathering place of the elves.

In this case, if the Corruptors invade, they will definitely invade the West Wing first.

The power of the West Wing is that the elves have a powerful magic circle, so as long as they want, they can block the invasion of the Corruptor for a long time.

But the elves lost in weakness.

Weakness prevents the elves from having the courage to fight the invading Corruptors.

Weakness made the elves have to abandon their inherent territory, and then retreated to a position where they could no longer retreat.

Weakness made the elves finally come to a new world through the portal of darkness.

In fact, from the very beginning, if the elves could firmly believe, everything would be different.

However, the elves did not do this.

They make one wrong step and one wrong step after another.

So they faced a very embarrassing situation for the soldiers.

This situation is caused by themselves, so there is no reason to blame others.

After Zhao Xun read this period of history, he felt sad and angry about the elves' misfortune.

Of course, compared to many times, the elves at this time can be said to be the happiest moment.

There is a saying that leaning against a big tree can enjoy the shade.

With the support of the academy, the elves can live in Zhongnan Mountain with complete peace of mind.

In the area assigned to them by the academy, the elves can live a completely carefree life.

But what if you leave the academy?Where will these poor elves go?
Zhao Xun didn't even dare to imagine.

If these elves were separated from them, they might not even have the courage to fight the Corruptor.

At least judging from the current contact situation between Zhao Xun and the elf king Odysseyka, the elf king did not show even a shred of courage.

The strength of the Odyssey card lies in the nest.

He was very tyrannical to his people, but facing foreign enemies and the Corruptor, the elf king did not show the courage he deserved.

This made Zhao Xun feel a little incomprehensible.

In his opinion, a patriarch and a monarch should be able to take responsibility.

When facing a strong enemy, he must be able to show the courage and determination to charge forward, instead of just hiding behind his subjects and making some empty talk.

Everyone can talk big and empty words, but not everyone has the courage to face great fear.

At least judging from the few times Zhao Xun has been in contact with, Odysseyka, the Elf King, is a tough guy.

Therefore, the elves can only use heavy, not reuse.

If we blindly increase the strength of the elves, I am afraid it will have the opposite effect.

As for the humans.
The situation of the human race is very complicated.

Zhao Xun learned from the records of the books about the human race in the library of the academy that there are actually many kingdoms of the human race on the continent of Alan Lore.

Together, these kingdoms have great influence, but after they are dispersed, they are not as powerful as the city-states of the Western Regions.

The city-states of the Western Regions are actually a mess.The reason why they can survive to this day is entirely because of the inaction of the Great Zhou court.However, if Emperor Xianlong, the dog emperor, used his snacks to send Anxi Army to the Western Regions to send more troops, it would not be the current situation.But it happens that such a dog emperor is in power.This guy is only thinking about power struggles, and he doesn't care about other things.In order to maintain his own rule, Emperor Xianlong even transferred all the main force of the Anxi Army back to Chang'an to defend the imperial power.

This kind of behavior can't be imagined without ten years of cerebral thrombosis.

However, Emperor Xianlong was able to not only think of it, but also make it, which made Zhao Xun amazed.

The situation of the countries in the continent of Allen Lore is similar.

The reason why they can survive to this day is entirely because of magicians and magic circles.

In addition, the direction of the Corruptor's invasion is to the west at the beginning.Once the Corruptor's main attack direction is changed to the east, the situation is completely different.

These small countries were destroyed one after another, or they simply surrendered and became puppet countries under the rule of the Corruptor.

Only alliance kingdoms as powerful as Casper's Kingdom survived.

But even so, the strength of the Casper Kingdom is not enough to support them against the powerful Corruptor Alliance alone.

That's why Prince Harry Portsman, the crown prince of the Casper Kingdom, will go to the distant new world to explore under the escort of the chief royal guard knight, Baron Guus.

Perhaps they already knew in their hearts that the fall of the Casper Kingdom was only a matter of time.Instead of waiting to die there, it is better to go to the new world to see it.What if hope is found in the new world?

Facts have proved that this choice of Caspar Kingdom is correct.

They came to Chang'an, came to Zhongnan Mountain, and then met their nobleman.

The academy is undoubtedly the most suitable shelter for them.

Of course, Zhao Xun didn't let them enter the academy directly.

This is considered in many ways.

Once they settled in the academy, other tribes would surely follow suit.

In this way, basically no one can withstand it.

Of course Zhao Xun would not do such a stupid thing.

In this way, it is tantamount to lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

The academy is only this big in total, if thousands of people poured in at once, it would become a vegetable market in an instant.

The good and beautiful environment will be gone forever.

Zhao Xun had to face the accusations and venomous eyes of his senior brothers and sisters alone.

Alas, so he had no choice but to choose to keep the Terran allies and other allies out of the Academy.

Designating an area for them to camp on Zhongnan Mountain is the most reasonable solution Zhao Xun can come up with.

Of course, compared to the elves, Zhao Xun felt that the fighting power of the human race was much stronger.

Although their prince Harry Botsman is a bad tempered bad boy.But Zhao Xun felt that the problem was not that big.

The crux of the problem today is to resolve the principal contradiction.

As long as the main contradiction is resolved, other series of problems will not be a problem.

Terrans can provide powerful wizards and witches.This is of great help in strengthening the academy's formation.

In addition, human magicians can also identify Satan.

Once Satan takes shape, human magicians are the best means of screening.

As for the dwarves, according to the ancient records, they were actually a distant relative of the human race.

Unlike gnomes, dwarves are not deformed in stature.

They survived by their craft of making firearms.

Relying on powerful firearms, they have been able to survive in the continent of Alan Lore, where the strong are like forests.

Zhao Xun admired him very much.

Of course, it is not an easy task to make the dwarves willingly give up their firearms.

Zhao Xun felt that although they formed an alliance, it was better to keep a safe distance.

If you really get too close and press too hard, I'm afraid the dwarves will have strong resistance.

This is almost inevitable.

All that's left is the dragons.

This tribe is also Zhao Xun's most unpredictable tribe, and it is also the only tribe in Zangshuge that does not have a large number of ancient texts.

Zhao Xun is trying his best to adapt to the rhythm of Dragon Clan's thinking.

This requires some in-depth communication between him and Lauren.

Zhao Xun felt that the two parties could finally communicate and achieve results.

Because Lauren is still a person with a true temperament.

Judging from Zhao Xun's long time with Luo Lun, this person can be regarded as a friend.

Therefore, the Dragon Clan is also the only tribe that Zhao Xun may rely heavily on.

Well, it looks like it's time to talk to Lauren again.

Zhao Xun hoped that it would not be too late.

Ever since Yao Yan, the sword fairy in the bamboo forest, was discovered by Zhao Xun and went out secretly in the middle of the night to collect white lotus flowers and smash them to make a mask for Liu Yingying, he let go of the whole person.

Because it seems that Liu Yingying also knew about it.

From indifference or even resistance at the beginning to joy or even concern, Liu Yingying's temperamental change also made Yao Yan, the bamboo forest sword fairy, feel warmer for a while.

It seems that Yingying already knows his good intentions.

This is really unintentional.

If it wasn't for the sudden shot by the junior brother, the two of them are probably still wrestling now, right?

Of course, in order to express his gratitude to Zhao Xun, Zhulin Jianxian specially brought a set of the white lotus mask made by him to his door.

Although the facial mask of Little Junior Brother is good, it is not as pure as the white lotus version.

Yao Yan, the sword fairy in the bamboo forest, let the younger brother try different types of facial masks, which may stimulate the younger brother's creative passion.

Maybe the younger brother can make more kinds of useful masks because of this?

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom boom.

Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal knocked on the door as usual.

But strangely, no one opened the door.

this is really weird
Yao Yan tried his best to calm himself down, but the effect didn't seem to be as good as expected.

It's really strange, where can the little junior brother go so well?
Yao Yan didn't intend to leave, he decided to wait here.

If he didn't give away the white lotus mask today, it wouldn't be over.

Finally, after waiting for nearly half an hour, Yao Yan finally saw Zhao Xun who had returned.

I saw that Zhao Xun had a sad expression on his face, and he would sigh from time to time.

Yao Yan hurriedly stepped forward: "Little Junior Brother, where have you been? I have been waiting for you at the door for a long time."

"Yao Jianxian? Zhao Xun looked up and was somewhat surprised to see that the person in front of him was Yao Yan."

"Why, am I surprised to see you?"

Yao Yan just thought it was funny.

"Well, of course not."

Zhao Xun quickly waved his hand and said, "I think it's a joy to meet Yao Jianxian."

But when he said this, he regretted it a little, because it revealed more or less embarrassment.

After all, he followed Yao Yan for so long before and found out that Yao Jianxian was not out to cheat. The scene was once very embarrassing.

Now that he bumped into Yao Yan again, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say, and seemed at a loss for a while.

"By the way, Yao Jianxian, why did you come to me suddenly?"

Of course Zhao Xun noticed that Yao Yan was holding a small box in his hand.

The box is made of wood, so the material should look pretty good.

Could it be a gift here?

Zhao Xun is not rewarded for nothing.

Although he followed the blind cat and met a dead mouse, Wai Da was helping the second senior sister Liu Yingying and the bamboo forest sword fairy Yao Yan to reconcile, but these are still his duties.

Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan needn't be so polite.

This made Zhao Xun a little embarrassed.

"Little brother, this is my unique white lotus mask, you must try it."

Uh.
When Zhao Xun heard that the box contained a white lotus-style mask, Zhao Xun lost his composure for a moment.

Good guy, this is too scary.

Just hearing the name Zhao Xun felt terrifying.

Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, can really do it.

"Well, there's no need for that. I'm still very young. Look, this skin is very elastic. It's full of youthfulness, so I don't need to apply a mask."

Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan said helplessly.

"Ah? No need?"

"No need, really no need. I appreciate your kindness."

Zhao Xun quickly waved his hands.

He really couldn't accept Yao Yan's kindness from Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal.If he takes this mask, he will set up a character in the future.

But anyone who sees him will feel that Zhao Xun is related to the white lotus, after all, he used a mask made by the white lotus.

So no matter what, Zhao Xun couldn't accept it.

This is a matter of principle, not negotiable.

"That's a pity. I heard that the mask you made, little brother, is quite effective. I want to try it."

"Uh"

Zhao Xun quickly waved his hand and said: "No need, really no need. In fact, although the mask is good, it depends on the person who uses it. The effect is really different for different people. Take the third brother for example. , if he uses a mask, the effect will be very good."

"The third one?"

Seeing that Zhao Xun brought up Long Qingquan's name on his own initiative, Zhulin Sword Immortal was stunned for a moment.

"Junior brother, why do you think the third child is suitable for using this white lotus mask?"

"I don't mean anything else by that. I just think that these three senior brothers are over 30 years old after all, so they are a bit old. It should be good if they can be maintained, right?"

Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Yao Jianxian, why don't you give this white lotus mask to the third brother, I think he will like it."

"Uh okay."
