Royal Palace.

Because the emperor was hosting a banquet, the young heroes who rarely gathered together looked at the beauty list in the sky with bright lights constantly embroidered on it in astonishment.

This time lasted very short, probably only a few breaths, but everyone present was shocked.

It turns out that the legend about the beauty list is actually true!
Wu Junbao said with a touch of pity on his face, "It seems that another poor woman is about to encounter something unexpected."

Everyone present looked at Wu Junbao.

Only then did Yu Youquan remember that the Wu Junbao family had inherited ancient methods and was in charge of Tianming Xuanwu. It was one of the ancient forces with the longest inheritance, and indeed knew a lot about this ancient secret.

Wu Junbao shook his head, feeling rather sad.

"The world of Yahai is very mysterious. It hides countless unknown secrets. The Beauty List is just one of them. Why did the ancient world that was so prosperous and glorious collapsed? This is the biggest unsolved mystery in today's world."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

This is not Wu Junbao's rhetoric, but the consensus of the practice community.

Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, countries, or individuals, they are all exploring this secret.

Mysteries that are juxtaposed with the mystery of the destruction of ancient times include Shinto and divine magic. For many knowledgeable people, the forbidden magic in the "Magic Manual" also counts.

Especially the mysteries of the top three forbidden arts are the objects of tireless research by all major forces and even casual cultivators.

There are still a very small number of people who have been exploring the ancient heaven, hoping to find its old site.

“What we know will always only be a tiny fraction of the historical truth.”

Wu Junbao: "Take the Beauty List as an example. There are black hands behind the scenes who have been killing people based on the feelings of the Beauty List. More than one woman has been killed."

"The methods were very secretive at first, and many tragedies were unknown, but later they became very naked and barely covered up."

The people present and speaking were all young people, and they couldn't help but frown when they heard such things.

I always feel that attacking an innocent woman for no reason at any time is too bottomless.

Not to mention practitioners who pay more attention to cause and effect, and even mere martial artists, many have rules not to kill the unarmed, old, weak, orphans and widows.

This is too unrefined!
Why can a mere stone tablet destroy a poor woman's life at will?
Sun Hong, the little great sage, wondered, "Is it just a poor woman who will die? Doesn't it have any other impact on the general trend of the times?"

In his opinion, if a woman can be on the beauty list, she must be beautiful, but it is only one of the most insignificant conditions.

Take, for example, a princess with an alluring appearance. Protected by the imperial army, she is the most beautiful and delicate flower in the world.

If the empire were to perish, she would be one of the enemy's trophies.

Yu Youquan also understood the words of the little great sage Sun Hong very deeply.

For women, beauty plus any other card is the best, such as education, family background, background, and IQ, but alone, it is very likely to be a dead end.

"Brother Boshen is wise, but it seems that he is not."

Wu Junbao pondered, "Historical books have always been stingy about this kind of thing, and there are even no records at all. Even in the ancient books of our family, there are only a few records. It seems that historians are avoiding something."

"It seems that in the ancient Yan Kingdom, the last king had a very smart and beautiful daughter, who was regarded as a 'pearl' and named Ling Ji. Later, the Ancient Yan Kingdom was destroyed by its neighboring country, the Xi Kingdom, which was a big country. The leading general is very cruel and enjoys raping and killing women."

"Seeing that Ling Ji was beautiful, he wanted to kill her for fun, but was stopped by General Bi and other soldiers who saw Ling Ji's appearance. After rescuing Ling Ji, he treated her with great courtesy and dedicated her to Xiguo king."

"The king of Xiguo was so shocked when he saw Lingji that he named her Concubine Ling and made her his only favorite in the harem. Later, Xiguo rebelled and King Lingfei went hunting. The angry soldiers hanged the concubine with a white silk ribbon. History Called 'Demon Concubine Ling Ji'."

When talking about this, everyone at the scene suddenly realized.

This is not a very new story. There are too many things about the rise and fall of dynasties, including kings and concubines in the past dynasties.

The existence of this woman has indeed "changed the power structure" and even accelerated the "historical process", but it would be a bit ridiculous to attribute all the country's subjugation to one woman.

but.

Many people present still had the locks of their memory boxes unlocked.

"I remembered that there seems to be a picture of "Ling Fei's Tears" painted by Master Fuling in our clan's treasure house."

Qi Guiya, who started talking, kept talking, "It is said that Fuling once dreamed of a peach blossom garden, saw many women in strange clothes worshiping in a tomb, and heard a very strange heart beating sound. He was frightened. He fled in despair. Later, he painted the famous "Dream Immortal Picture" based on this incident. "Ling Fei's Tears Picture" is one of the series of "Dream Immortal Picture"! "

Talking about Fuling, Yu Youquan also remembered it.

The "Heartbeat of the Earth" was to be found on the Invincible Road of the Three Realms. At that time, the great painter Fuling and his "Dream Immortal Picture" were mentioned.

Could it be one of the clues?

Yu Youquan was overjoyed and immediately looked at Qi Gui and said, "Brother Qi, I am also quite interested in the painting "Ling Fei's Tears". I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it?"

Qi Guiya was immediately happy and said in surprise, "It's a great honor that Brother Juli can come to my Qi family as a guest. My Qi family is really in full bloom."

After hearing this, other people also expressed interest and hoped to go and see the "Picture of Concubine Ling's Tears" where the legend was reflected in reality.

Qi Guihe was naturally welcomed.

but.

Some people still raised questions.

Fuling was from the Dayu era of the previous dynasty, while Ling Fei was already considered a very ancient person. There was a long gap between them, so they were not the same era at all, so they couldn't be fully believed.

Everyone agreed with this, and even Wu Junbao did not refute.

Later, Wu Junbao provided more inside information about the beauty list and the black hands.

The deaths of King Xi and Concubine Ling, the mutiny, these are essentially nothing.

What is really bizarre is that all the soldiers who participated in the mutiny, forced and hanged Concubine Ling, were cursed at the same time and were all hanged to death.

Many people even reached out and strangled themselves to death, which was very weird.

For a time, countless soldiers died, and the barren mountain where Concubine Ling died became a cursed mountain.

There is a similar woman behind her. Unlike Ling Ji, she is just an ordinary fisherman.

Because he often went fishing for pearls with his parents, his nickname was "A Cai".

A Cai's experience is very ordinary, even incomparable with Ling Ji. It is even a very clichéd story about a powerful man beating a mandarin duck to steal his bride.

Forced to be separated from her childhood sweetheart, forced to become a concubine of a powerful man, favored because of her beauty, framed by other women, and hated by the powerful mother.

In the end, he was stuffed into a well and drowned.

A Cai drowned, and the powerful family all drowned mysteriously in a place without water.

Later, there was a woman named A Chou. Her appearance was really ordinary, and the birthmark on her face was even more frightening, but her background was pretty good.

She has never been taken seriously at home, she is just a little transparent.

But somehow, the beauty list came out, and A Chou's name appeared on it.

Then a weirdo took out A Chou's heart!

That day, it rained blood.

And the weirdo's heart also disappeared and exploded.

There is also a fairy named Xuanzhi, who was born in a sect called Qunxing Palace.

Gifted and talented, she was one of the most talented fairies in the world at that time. People even thought she had a chance to become a female saint.

The only thing that is criticized by the world is that he looks ordinary.

but.

The Palace of Stars somehow offended the hidden sect Xuan Shuang Gu, and Xuan Shuang Gu teamed up with several forces to invade the Palace of Stars.

Immortal seedlings such as Fairy Xuanzhi are naturally protected, and arrangements are made in advance for her to evacuate with other seeds.

But for some reason, the evacuation route of Fairy Xuanzhi was known in advance, and she went straight into the Xuanshuang Valley ambush circle.

Fairy Xuanzhi fought to the death to protect her senior brothers and sisters from retreating.

The battle was brutal. Fairy Xuanzhi was eventually beheaded by the enemy and her cultivation was ruined. She nailed her sword to the gate of Xuanshuang Valley. While declaring her power, she lured the disciples of the Star Palace to collect her body and send her to death.

In short, this poor woman suffered a very tragic fate. She was nailed to the mouth of Xuanshuang Valley for many years and did not die completely.

However, after Fairy Xuanzhi tragically breathed her last breath, Xuanshuang Valley and all the other forces involved in killing Fairy Xuanzhi, overnight, all the disciples from top to bottom without exception had their limbs cut off, and at the same time, He was crucified to death in the mountain gate.

Several big forces turned into ghosts overnight.

sizzle!
Everyone present took a breath at the same time.

Sun Hong, the little great saint, couldn't stand it any longer and said with a sigh, "I was wrong. The woman who is on the list probably has nothing to do with her origin or appearance. Being hunted for life on the Beauty List must be a higher-level reason. But now, does anyone really dare to kill a woman on the beauty list?"

Wu Junbao: "So, those who dare to take action are either out of pure ignorance, or are being plotted by the mastermind behind the scenes, so they have to do it!"

Everyone's heart froze.

Qiqi expressed his gratitude to Wu Junbao.

If he didn't know the whole story and attacked the woman on the beauty list, he might have died without even knowing it!Jiuxuanmen Shen Qingzi suddenly said, "Have you noticed? The women being hunted by the Beauty List seem to be related, and they may even have been learning from the experiences and lessons of their predecessors."

"The beautiful princess Ling Ji with an astonishing appearance, the ordinary fisherman A Cai, the ugly girl A Chou with a good family background, and the ordinary-looking but talented Xuan Zhi who is backed by a powerful force."

Everyone was stunned.

That being said, it’s true!
The beautiful and noble princess was too conspicuous and could not effectively protect herself and then learned her lesson and was reincarnated as a poor girl in the next life;

Being a poor girl but beautiful is a dead end. In the next life, she will be reborn as an ugly girl from a middle-class family, but she will still be killed;

Learn a lesson again, a proud man with amazing talent and support from a powerful force. He has a high level of cultivation but an ordinary appearance.
Although it is just an idea and an inspiration, it is very likely that these poor women really have the same inheritance, but they just don't know what their method of inheritance is.

Sun Hong suddenly said, "That's why there is a saying in this world - 'Three lives of misfortune, beauty will have a bad life; three lives of sin, one's name will be left on the list'. It's not just sympathy for the poor woman, there may be something more obscure. The warning is not to make fun of the beauty list, it is really possible for someone to die!"

Everyone nodded.

Inspired by Shen Qingzi, Yu Youquan also thought of something.

"The beauty list probably didn't appear out of thin air. Perhaps it was forced to appear. The women on the list died many times, especially A Chou's mysterious death. Maybe that woman found the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Everyone nodded, feeling that this speculation was the most logical.

There is nothing more valuable than life.

The cause and effect of killing one's body can definitely be regarded as a big cause and effect.

And the woman who is constantly being chased by the strange stone tablet is most likely to be reincarnated, and she must be a powerful person.

It seems that it is not completely impossible to force out the beauty list through cause and effect, and to force out the mastermind behind the scenes.

The water is really deep!
Yu Youquan took a deep breath and felt that it was best for a little shrimp like him to "close the door tightly and recite Huang Ting's three or two volumes quietly" to avoid being contaminated by these right and wrong.

Otherwise, it might really be "a celebrity on the list of gods".

At this moment, several high-crowned waiters also walked out in an orderly manner, and then took everyone into the palace for a banquet where guests were entertained.

Fine wine, delicacies, singing and dancing, and other "fainting king's happy meals" were presented one by one.

Not to mention anything else, just the women who sing and dance to add to the fun at the banquet are the best of the best.

Although they are all mortal women, they are extremely well trained. Every frown and smile is full of love, and every glance and every look is full of intention.

Or maybe they got the instruction early. The twisted waists and charming eyes of these women are simply fascinating.

When he got more interested, Cheng Jingwen told everyone directly that no matter which woman they liked, they could take them home directly.

The breathing at the scene suddenly became a little faster.

No one spoke, and a few female guests were even a little dissatisfied, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't care at all and just said it casually.

but.

Everyone also believed that Jun Wuxi said that as long as young heroes like them were interested in any woman here, a hint would be sent directly to their house without even a hint from them.

Later, everyone realized that these women were really just the most insignificant part of this royal feast.

For those who love swords, just like Zhongli An, this emperor prepared the sword scriptures left by previous sages;

For those who love magic, just like the original master of Jiuxuanmen, His Majesty the Emperor directly prepared the secret magic scroll that is kept secret by the royal family;

As for Shen Qingzi, His Majesty the Emperor even prepared a Qilin atlas, which specifically recorded various aspects of the Qilin method. Shen Qingzi was overjoyed for a moment;
And like Yu Youquan, His Majesty the Emperor directly sent a list of evil spirits, focusing on recording various evil spirits, which family may have them, what are the characteristics of the missing evil spirits, and where can they be found.

He even told Yu Youquan very thoughtfully that in the royal family's personal connections, he had good relations with those forces, and as a middleman, what kind of evil spirits could be traded by the royal family.

As long as Yu Youquan is willing, he only needs to pay some yuan stones.

What's more, as the number one in the North-South War, the royal family even gave him a special privilege.

He can choose any magical power in the royal family's Sutra Pavilion.

Arbitrary, without any restrictions, generous, unimaginable generous!

Yu Youquan was surprised and happy.

Catch them all in one swoop. In this palace feast, His Majesty the Emperor really caught all the proud men in attendance!

Not long after, a high-gown waiter even brought Yu Youquan a directory that recorded the magical powers possessed by the royal family.

Yu Youquan looked at it with excitement, and was even a little dazzled for a moment.

"Hutian"

It specifically records how to open up space and caves, how to collect sumeru in mustard seeds, and how to hide the sun and moon in a pot.

The world is in the palm of your hand, and the world is in your sleeves.

Yu Youquan's eyes lit up as he looked directly.

"Shrink to Inch"

There are no unexpected shukuchi techniques.

"Taiyi Golden Light"

"clairvoyance"

"Omniscient"

"Shifting Scenery"

"Taking the Moon"

"Spitting Water and Absorbing Water"

"Breathing Fire and Swallowing Fire"

"Dengchao"

These techniques are very practical and are indeed what he needs now.

Many spells also clearly record the prerequisites and resources required to practice this technique. They are all written in great detail, which shows their sincerity.

For example, Yu Youquan's favorite ones are the art of Hu Tian and the art of moving scenery.

The Technique of Hu Tian is most suitable to match his Space Technique, especially the "World in the Palm" and "The Universe in the Sleeve" are particularly exciting to him.

but.

He was still somewhat hesitant. With the Space Law of World Seed and Hunyuan Golden Dou, he could quickly understand these two techniques.

"Shifting Scenery" is essentially a spell that changes the surrounding environment, a bit like a combination of illusion and mysterious light spells.

His illusions can basically be done now!
If he can't change the surrounding environment, can't he change the five senses of others?

The effect is similar!

As for the "Taiyi Golden Light", this method is a body-protecting magical power similar to the golden light spell. It seems to be okay, but he has been bathed in dragon blood and is naturally powerful.

Moreover, he recently got a volume of "Pagoda Casting the Golden Body", which he also wanted to study.

As for "Swallowing Water and Absorbing Water", which dragon can't do it?

Now that the dragon has been born in his heart, it is his instinct to continue to go deeper!

Breathing fire and swallowing sparks makes a lot of noise, which doesn't feel practical.

In the end, Yu Youquan set his sights on the art of "censorship".

Climb, climb.

Copy, take shortcuts.

To put it simply, this technique is a technique that can enhance the power of the technique in three dimensions, horizontally and vertically.

This spell can speed up things, or expand the impact on the original basis, such as making fires burn more vigorously, plants growing faster, and water flows becoming more turbulent.

To put it simply, you can pull the progress bar horizontally or "play" it at multiple times, which is a bit like a time accelerator and a power amplifier.

The effect is somewhat similar to his "front trump card" that uses soul to replenish his health. It is a "critical strike damage" that can instantly increase the explosive power of his skills.

The overall feeling was pretty good. Yu Youquan thought about it and finally decided to choose this technique.

After Yu Youquan thought about it, a high-guan waiter personally took him to the Sutra Pavilion to study the Dharma.

It can be seen that Emperor Cheng Jingwen also knew the temperament of these "Taoist idiots" and "Martial Arts idiots" and did not waste their time at all.

Not only Yu Youquan, but also many other geniuses were very excited and had a great impression of Emperor Cheng Jingwen.

It can also be seen from this that Cheng Jingwen is indeed a somewhat underestimated emperor.

If the aristocratic family wasn't too powerful, he might be able to do more.
