Chapter 57: Glazed Archway
Above the deep surface of Poyang Lake, there is a place where the lake surface seems to be frozen in time, as still as a mirror.
The water surface is as smooth as a mirror, without the slightest ripple, reflecting the blue sky and floating white clouds.
On this water surface that looks like a painting, stands a glazed archway.
The glazed archway has an exquisite and unique structure. It is built on a stone foundation and has brick walls six to eight feet high.
Trumpet-shaped pillars and perennial beam frames are placed inside the wall, which look stable and solemn.
There are three circular arched doors on the brick wall, as if they were designed for some mysterious ritual. Below the wall is a blue-white stone Sumeru pedestal, on which are carved various artistic patterns in great detail.
Each part of the archway is similar to a wooden archway, with columns, beams, corbels, flower boards, regular columns, dragon and phoenix boards, main building, secondary building, mezzanine building, and side buildings.
The walls are inlaid with yellow and green glazed bricks, which are majestic and spectacular.
In the middle of the archway, there is not a plaque, but an ancient wooden bow.
Under the sunlight, the glazed archway sparkles with brilliant light, contrasting with the lake surface, like a fairyland.
This glazed archway that suddenly appears on the lake looks like a solitary boat floating on the water, or like chopsticks standing on a mirror, which is very bizarre.
The ship slowly approached.
Ripples appeared on the water surface, breaking the tranquility of the lake.
The people on the boat looked at the glazed archway and marveled at its majesty. It was also hard for them not to notice the old man meditating on the water under the archway.
He was an old man.
He was wearing simple clothes, looked haggard, and sat on the water, but he didn't feel like sinking.
This person is not simple, but Huo Xia doesn't care.
Huo Xia sat on a bench on the boat, doubting his life.
I have absolutely no idea why things have come to this point. What did I do wrong to end up like this?
"Once some things start, there's no turning back." Huo Xia felt a lot of pressure.
Just as he said to Zheng He, he had also thought about starting a harem.
but.
Can you withstand the pressure of having a harem?
The relationship between men and women is very simple if it is simple, but once it starts to become complicated, it becomes extremely complicated, and even the smartest wise man cannot figure it out.
"Happiness will leave you if you look worried~"
Li Yuna sat on Huo Xia's left and said with a smile.
Huo Xia said: "I'm just thinking about what I did wrong."
"That's too much!" Liyuna laughed a little scary, "Like doing impure things with other women while his girlfriend was asleep."
Liliana, who was sitting on Huo Xia's right, shuddered, her cheeks burning as she argued softly, "I, I... didn't expect Xia to have... I just felt that it needed to be resolved. That [Power] is not..."
Huo Xia was a little annoyed by this excuse and said, "Why is it always this reason? I don't have that kind of thought at all. My mind is very clean. It's you who have unclean hearts!"
Riuna: "You didn't refuse, did you?"
Liliana: "No...it's all Lord Zheng's fault!"
Huo Xia sighed and looked at the old man on the water in the distance, and Zhu Gaoxu who was walking towards the old man.
Some don't want to talk.
Li Yuna muttered unhappily, "It's obviously me who lost, my boyfriend was played by another woman... No matter how you look at it, I won, why do you still act like I lost!"
Liliana also expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Me too. I made a great decision. If I hadn't fainted from the comfort in the middle of the process, I would have wanted to kill you and then commit suicide!"
In response to the two women's complaints, Huo Xia simply said, "I just don't like overly complicated relationships."
"You're still a pure love person?" Liyuna was a little surprised, "I thought all boys were harem people!"
Huo Xia: "I have had that kind of delusion, but it is better to be realistic."
Liliana seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "Wang seems to be a high school student in World 996. Could it be that he has some complicated relationship with a man and a woman there?"
"That's about right." Huo Xia said frankly, "Don't look at me like this, I'm still quite popular, and I'm surrounded by beauties. Being the male lead in a harem anime is pretty much my daily routine."
Li Yunai didn't seem to care, but her small jade feet had already stepped on Huo Xia's feet. At the same time, she smiled and said, "So, this harem man, do you want three wives and four concubines?"
"No." Huo Xia immediately denied, "I can't afford to offend any of these women."
"specifically is?"
"They are probably the daughters of gangsters, chaebol daughters, and daughters of political families." Huo Xia said sadly, "It is because I know the gap between myself and them that I can only stay away from them. However, because my career is too deeply involved with their families, I can't completely get rid of them, so I can only drag it on like this."
Speaking of this, Huo Xia felt a headache.
Obviously, I just want to exchange interests with these big families, accumulate connections, and develop my career, so why should I get involved in boring emotional entanglements! ?
Moreover, no one can afford to offend them.
It was really a headache for him to maintain the fragile relationship of interests.
Liliana seemed to understand something and said, "The king is a little wary of women who like him because of his past experiences, right?"
"That's about right." Huo Xia nodded slightly.
Liliana said, "But now, King, it's not you who should keep a distance from them, but they should keep a distance from you, right?"
"……Um?"
Huo Xia stood up straight.
Yup!
You are a godslayer yourself, so why should you be so entangled and worry about things like axes, Shura fields, ethical relationships, and secular views?
Thinking of this, light gradually appeared in Huoxia's eyes.
Riuna had a bad feeling.
"Wait a moment!"
Li Yunai's face turned dark, she raised her bare hands, pinched Huo Xia's cheek and pulled her over.
"You're not thinking of being merciful, are you? I won't allow that. For the sake of your own life, take back your dirty thoughts!"
Liliana couldn't help but nodded.
"Although I don't have that kind of stance, I still can't accept too many people. Four, no, five at most! No more!"
"Shut up!" Li Yuna said in a delicate voice, "This half-baked egoist will be very happy if he is given a little color, and he will not refuse the benefits that are delivered to his door! We must not indulge him!"
Huo Xia let out a long sigh, opened his arms and hugged the two women's shoulders.
"Woo!"
"what……"
Amid the two women's exclamations, Huo Xia calmly hugged them on both sides and made assurances with a righteous look on his face.
"Don't worry, I'm not that dependent on something like [Power] that I robbed, and I won't be merciful. Besides, if one day I decline or lose my power, it will be my own fault. So I know what's going on, and I will never become a scumbag!"
Neither the shrewd Liliana nor the selfish Toba Ryuna believed such a solemn assurance.
He only said that he would not be promiscuous, but he did not say that he would not have a harem.
This man is totally trying to get by this way!
The two women in Huo Xia's arms looked at each other, communicated instantly, and were about to say something.
suddenly.
boom!
A huge splash of water occurred. The three men raised their heads and saw Zhu Gaoxu who was knocked flying.
Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han who possessed power that rivaled the Paladin of Liliana World and was known for his courage as an overlord, was unexpectedly knocked away by a single punch from an aging old man!
Chapter 58: The Vitality Remains
On the calm lake surface, Zhu Gaoxu jumped lightly from the ship like an eagle soaring into the sky.
The moment his feet touched the water, there was not a single ripple, only a shallow ripple.
As the strongest warrior of the time, his martial arts skills have reached perfection, and crossing the river on a reed is no longer an unattainable legend for him.
Zhu Gaoxu walked on the water with great vigor and momentum.
"Old man, what are you doing here? Make way for us."
Zhu Gaoxu strode forward and shouted in a rough voice to the old man under the archway.
The sound echoed on the lake, breaking the silence.
The old man was meditating on the water, as if he had merged into one with the lake. When he heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, he just opened his eyes slightly, and his gaze flashed by like lightning.
"The entrance to the Dark Kingdom is ahead. Grandson of King Wu, go back."
The old man spoke calmly, his voice floating on the lake.
Zhu Gaoxu did not back down. He laughed loudly and said in a heroic manner: "Why do you want to leave? I am not a person who respects the elderly and loves the young! If you stand in my way again, don't blame me for being rude. I will tear down you and this archway together!"
"Ugh……"
Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's response, the old man sighed slightly.
There was a hint of vicissitudes and depth in his eyes, as if he had seen the rise and fall of all things in the world.
Then, he slowly stood up.
This action seemed ordinary, but in Zhu Gaoxu's perception, it was like watching a giant wheel spinning the world, and an aura of dominance emanated from the old man.
With such momentum, just standing there could scare millions of troops away and make them dare not move forward!
The old man's figure was looming in the water, as if he had merged into one with the lake.
Zhu Gaoxu felt more and more pressure, and his soul seemed to be severely squeezed and almost separated from his body.
I was scared out of my wits.
This sentence is a joke to most people, but to Zhu Gaoxu now, it is the fact.
This old man could really scare a person's soul out of his body with just one look.
"Damn it, have we become Xiahou Jie who was scared to death by Mr. Zhang San?"
Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei single-handedly shouted at Cao Cao's Xiahou Jie, causing him to spit out his soul. This scene directly frightened Cao Cao so much that he turned around and fled.
Realizing that the old man was not simple, Zhu Gaoxu immediately took action.
The king was angry.
The raging red lotus fire was like an angry beast, burning wantonly on the lake. In an instant, the lake water was evaporated, making a hissing boiling sound.
Steam rose up from the sky, covering the area around the archway in white.
Roar!Roar!
In the midst of the white mist, there was a sudden flash of red, and then two blazing fire dragons shot up into the sky. They were like cannonballs fired from a gun, carrying a force as powerful as thunder, and attacked the old man from both sides at the same time.
With a hissing sound, a blue line of fire streaked across the sky.
Zhu Gaoxu rushed towards the old man like a wise king descending to the earth in an instant, without any intention of holding back, and his first move was a fatal one.
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp light burst out of them, like a night pearl in the deep sea, illuminating this chaotic battlefield.
His hands glided gracefully through the air, like two fish swimming nimbly and effortlessly through the water.
boom!
Two ferocious fire dragons were caught in the old man's hands, like wild beasts restrained by huge force.
Afterwards, a huge amount of energy burst out from between the old man's five fingers, and he actually crushed the two fire dragons, causing a deafening roar.
