Chapter 214: The mystery of two lives, solved! Sixth-level Dragon Soul Jade! (6K)

Inside the Wanfa Palace, things were still the same as before, with all kinds of straw men performing magic tricks everywhere.

It’s just that the level of the spell is much higher.

When I was invited to give the class, the methods I demonstrated were all simple ones. But looking back now, I find that there is a lot to it.

For example, the two teams of straw men patrolling at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Xing originally thought that it was just a random arrangement, but now he found that these straw men were following the route of the "Eight Gates and Four Symbols Formation".

"Injure Du Jing to death and scare Kai Xiusheng. This Eight Gates Formation is a movable version of the formation. Wherever the straw man goes, the formation will go there. It can also change the formation according to the movement of the enemy within the formation."

When he flew to the middle of the mountain, Zhao Xing discovered nine straw men that he had not noticed before. They seemed to be wandering around aimlessly, but in fact they had a trick up their sleeve.

"A soul-binding straw man woven from time-sharing grass. The straw man hides a spirit. Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, Jiayin... Is this the Yin God of the Six Jias?"

“Use the six yin spirits to arrange the mountain sealing method?” Zhao Xing still remembered the mountain sealing method of Donghu Mountain. There was a paragraph in the spell: “Three orders to the eight directions to protect the way, the road can be passed, and the grass and trees are not harmed.”

Liu Tianning's Wanfa Palace was built on a mountain, so naturally there were no evil spirits on this mountain.

However, Liu Tianning used the soul-binding grass man to control the Liujia Yin God, replacing the 'Eight Directions True Lord' in the spell, making the mountain-sealing method equally effective.

Outside of the Great Zhou, there were no conferred True Lords in the mountains and rivers. Liu Tianning's Liujia Yinshen method was equivalent to conferring the title of "Yin Shen" upon himself, replacing the spell.

"Old Liu has really mastered the straw man technique." Zhao Xing looked at the straw man on the mountain and marveled inwardly.

Since he did not learn the complete Straw Man Technique in his previous life, Zhao Xing had never seen many things today.

Only a small part can be recognized, and the speculation is still based on hearsay.

Liu Tianning's straw man technique is said to be unrivaled in the world, and he is not exaggerating. Even a first-rank Minister of Agriculture may not be able to surpass him in the straw man technique.

He flew straight to the gate of Wanfa Palace and landed there, then Zhao Xing walked towards the inside of the palace.

Liu Tianning's real body has returned from the Soul Sacrifice Pass. He went there to help in the first place, and he is not a member of the Divine Power Army, the Black Armor Army, or the Zhenhai Army. He has no obligation to confront them.

Why do we say that it was the real body at that time? Because at that time Liu Tianning used the "Pure Yuan Projection" to release the seventh-level plant soldiers in his dantian.

The Wanfa Grass Man cannot form pure Yuan soil, nor can he truly perform pure Yuan projection.

Therefore, if one wants to determine whether a Si Nong of rank five or above is his true self, one has to see if he can perform Pure Yuan Projection.

However, it is not easy to force out the pure Yuan projection.

In the Wanfa Hall in the Wanfa Palace, Zhao Xing met Liu Tianning.

"Teacher." Zhao Xing bowed.

"Draftsman." Liu Tianning came up to test Zhao Xing's practice results without saying a word.

"Yes." Zhao Xing cast a spell before he had time to talk about business.

The drafter that Liu Tianning mentioned would naturally not be some intermediate-level straw man method.

Zhao Xing walked outside the hall, took a deep breath, and then pointed with golden light: "Wind!"

Strong winds blew up, cutting down two 'Dragon Bamboos' from the east of the square. On their way over, the strong winds broke the bamboos into pieces of bamboo strips.

A bundle of five-sago tree wood was rolled up from the west of the square and split into four parts as it flew over.

Afterwards, materials such as the willow of resurrection, elm flowers, Selaginella branches, and angelica were rolled up from the south and north of the square.

"rise!"

When all these materials were gathered in front of him, Zhao Xing growled again.

The four straw men condensed into shape, and then transformed into the appearance of Zhao Xing. This was because of the fusion of the 'Shapeless Straw Man'.

Then the four straw men and the master walked back into the hall and bowed to Liu Tianning: "Please give me some advice, teacher."

"Yes, you have made some progress in your Straw Man Technique." Liu Tianning said, "At this point, you just need to continue studying along the path of the five elements of your own self. When you reach a bottleneck at the seventh level, we can talk about guidance."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

The ego straw man has just passed the fourth turn, and there is really nothing that needs guidance. Before the seventh turn, the path is very clear. Zhao Xing only needs to practice until he becomes proficient, and he will not encounter any bottlenecks.

The test for Liu Tianning was just to see whether he had slacked off and whether he really took the Straw Man Method to heart.

Although Liu Tianning is strict, he is not strict just for the sake of being strict.

If something is done well, it is done well. We will not deliberately belittle our disciples just to spur them on.

"What do you need me to do?" Liu Tianning asked, "If it's something illegal, then you don't have to ask."

Zhao Xing quickly said, "Disciple doesn't dare."

"It's just that I have retired from the battlefield and have nothing to do, so I want to explore the various places in the Ten Sun Cave Heaven."

Zhao Xing carefully considered his words: "According to the regulations of Shiyang Cave Heaven, to explore the various dangerous places in Shiyang Cave Heaven, various 'Exploration Envoy' qualifications are required."

To survey the land, survey the sky, search the mountains, and inspect the sea, you need the corresponding qualifications to go to each place.

It is equivalent to having a 'qualification certificate'.

The cave is a dangerous place, and some places are very fragile, such as the volcanic plains.

At that time, Zhao Xing was a ninth-grade warrior, but he used the gambler's tactics and managed to create a fifth-level earth fire frenzy.

It's just a convenient place, you can be violent if you want, but there are some places where people can't do whatever they want, you need corresponding qualifications to enter.

Later, Shiyang Cave Heaven also used this rule to prevent outsiders from entering.

By that time, it would be extremely difficult to obtain a spot as a 'Junior Explorer'.

Liu Tianning said: "With your strength, it is not difficult to pass the intermediate exploration exam. You don't need to discuss it with me."

It is not difficult, but it is already March 1st, and if he takes the exam on his own and only passes the intermediate level, it is too late in terms of the process.

In early March, the Ten Yang Caves will burst into the beauty of heaven and earth. Yangcheng will react quickly and the qualifications will be tightened by then.

Once it is confirmed as the "upgrade of the paradise", it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

There was no time.

Besides, being an intermediate explorer was not what Zhao Xing wanted at all.

You must be a high-level explorer or a top-level explorer, and you must be a full-category explorer.

I definitely can’t get it, but Liu Tianning can definitely do it.

As long as he is in Liu Tianning's team, he can act conveniently.

Zhao Xing said: "There are many places I want to go, but some places are inconvenient to go. I would like to ask the teacher to take over the top cave exploration mission in the military world and set up a research group."

Liu Tianning frowned.

To be honest, Zhao Xing's request was not excessive. For example, Fan Zhaoli had taken on a top-level cave exploration mission and set up a research group. The final result was 10 billion points.

But Liu Tianning had never done this before and had no intention of studying the cave.

Zhao Xing felt a bit like "looking forward to his teacher's success", which was a bit weird.

"Is it okay to be a high-level explorer?" Liu Tianning asked. If it was a high-level explorer, Liu Tianning would be able to get it immediately, without even having to take the exam.

The application will be approved!

why?
What is Lao Liu famous for? The Straw Man Method!

When it comes to exploration, he is the most suitable person.

Hearing Liu Tianning's answer, Zhao Xing looked hesitant.

Lao Liu is a high-level explorer, and as a student, he is only an intermediate level, there is no difference, and there are regional restrictions.

Only the top-level explorers are all-rounders, and with this title, they can go anywhere.

Even if the policy is tightened later, this title will still work.

Liu Tianning understood Zhao Xing's attitude at a glance.

"Okay, then I'll be the top explorer."

"Exploring the cave is indeed beneficial to you."

The Yin-Yang and Self-Origin Sutra studies the inner five elements of the world.

The cave world is another small five-element world.

Liu Tianning is very nice to his disciples. As long as it does not violate his principles, he will basically respond to their requests.

"Thank you, teacher!" Zhao Xing was delighted. "Please add a few more places when you set up the group."

"Yeah." Liu Tianning nodded and agreed. A few more places were not a big deal.

"You..." Liu Tianning was about to say something, but suddenly frowned, "Go back first and go out the side door."

Zhao Xing was a little surprised and didn't know what was going on, but he didn't ask much.

"Yes, disciple, take your leave."

After Zhao Xing left the Wanfa Palace, Liu Tianning sighed: "Here they are again. They have already run to the Shiyang Cave Heaven. Why are they still chasing..."

Zhao Xing left the Wanfa Palace and walked towards the side door. Just after he walked a short distance, he discovered a thick fog rising in the Wanfa Palace.

The fog covered the entire mountain, and no one knew what Liu Tianning was doing.

After walking out of the side door of Wanfa Palace, Zhao Xing planned to fly down the mountain.

However, it had not flown far.

Sudden--

"Shu~"

A colorful stream of light suddenly emerged from the clouds and headed straight for Zhao Xing.

"who!"

Zhao Xing was startled and immediately used his strong wind to avoid it.

He really didn't expect that someone would attack him here.

But who is Mr. Zhao? The military minister who is on high alert.

The Nine Heavenly Strong Winds were like nine green dragons descending to the world, and they immediately rushed towards the colorful light.

The Mist Hiding Technique was performed as if by instinct, and the whole person disappeared into the mist.

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, the nine green dragons of strong wind were defeated by the colorful flowing light!

The flowing light emitted seven colors of light, and actually broke his five elements fog concealment, revealing his figure.

However, the colorful light was also blocked and its speed slowed down.

Only then did Zhao Xing see clearly that it was actually a piece of colorful silk.

"Huh? As expected of him as his disciple, you do have some skills." A female voice was heard from the sky ahead.

"Colorful cloud brocade with dragons and phoenixes embroidered on it, is this a sixth-rank divine weapon?" Zhao Xing was also stunned when he saw the ribbon.

The colorful dragon and phoenix brocade is dyed with dragon blood and phoenix blood. It is not something that ordinary people can use, but is only used by the royal family!

"I wonder which sir is stopping me from going down the mountain? I'm Zhao Xing, a sixth-rank guard captain of the Shenwei Army. I don't know how I have offended you." Zhao Xing shouted to the people around him.

"Shu~"

The colorful dragon and phoenix brocade suddenly bent and surrounded, revealing a gorgeous figure where it bent.

Zhao Xing was shocked at the mere sight of it, and a scene from the "Da Zhou Dynasty: Vehicle and Clothing System" immediately popped up in his mind: "A golden dragon head holds a jade bead, and a dragon-shaped hairpin has tassels in its comb."

"There are nine trees with jewellery flowers, and the number of small flowers is the same as that of large flowers, and there are two of them for the temples."

"The royal robe is made of blue fabric, with a pattern of a waving phoenix. It is made of plain gauze, with a red collar, and gauze hems and sashes. Both hems and sashes are made of red. It covers the knees, and the collar is made of lace according to the color of the skirt, with a waving phoenix as the emblem."

"The floating colorful fairy belt is of seven colors. She is either a princess or a concubine." Zhao Xing was shocked when he saw the dress of this noble lady.

It’s not that I was stunned by this person’s attire, but that he was also an acquaintance.

He immediately knelt on one knee on the cloud, clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Zhao Xing, pays homage to Princess Youruo."

"Oh? Get up quickly!" The lady immediately showed a happy smile.

"Thank you, Princess." Zhao Xing stood up.

"Has Liu Tianning ever mentioned me to you?" Princess Youruo suddenly spoke in a gentle voice.

"I have been your disciple for a short time." Zhao Xing paused, then continued, "I was fortunate enough to see the princess's portrait."

Both of these sentences are true.

Zhao Xing had indeed become a disciple not long ago, and had also seen Princess Youruo's portrait.

This can explain why, with so many princesses and princesses in the world, he can judge their identities just by their dresses.

However, the two things have nothing to do with each other; it was purely Mr. Zhao's quick thinking.

But to Princess Youruo's ears, it sounded like Zhao Xing saw her portrait in the Wanfa Palace not long after he became her disciple.

"He, he still keeps my portrait..." Princess Youruo's eyes lit up.

However, Zhao Xing couldn't help but look at Princess Youruo's waist.

Princess Youruo has a famous magic weapon called the 'Earth Soul Bell'.

This is an eighth-level soul-type magic weapon!
Soul-type magic weapon, the eighth level can match the ninth level, which is considered the second-tier weapon in the world!

Who is she?

She was the daughter of Emperor Jingdi, born at the end of the Dingxin period, and is now only in her seventies.

The emperor has many daughters, and whether they are favored or not depends entirely on the power of their mother's family.

Princess Youruo's mother's family is the 'Bishui Taoist Temple', one of the seventy-two Taoist temples.

In other words, Princess Youruo's mother was once the leader of the Bishui Sect.

Going back further, her great-great-grandmother was the 'Bixia Yuanjun'.

Why could Zhao Xing recognize it at a glance?

The main one is Princess Youruo, one of his employers in his previous life.

Princess Youruo was also the one who pursued Liu Tianning the most fiercely during the Emperor Wu period. She could be said to be the number one enemy!
Only Emperor Wu's sister would dare to assassinate a retired first-rank Minister of Agriculture again and again.

Zhao Xing took over her tasks several times, but he couldn't understand why this old witch kept staring at Liu Tianning.

Now, the case has been solved... Well, looking at this, we can tell that it is a debt of love.

However, during this period, Princess Youruo was not as perverted as she would be in the later period, and she still looked like a little girl.

"Princess, it's nothing. I'll take my leave now." Zhao Xing didn't want to offend this old witch.

"Wait, why are you panicking! Am I... am I that scary?" Princess Youruo glared and was about to explode, but when she thought of Zhao Xing being Liu Tianning's disciple, her tone softened a little: "Don't blame me, it was just a misunderstanding just now. Your teacher and I are old acquaintances."

Zhao Xing was speechless. You came up and tied people up with the seven-colored dragon and phoenix belt. Anyone would panic, okay?

"I don't dare."

"Zhao Xing, since you are his apprentice, I will give you a gift." Princess Youruo smiled.

Zhao Xing secretly groaned in his heart, should he accept it or not?
Old Liu was obviously avoiding her.

But Princess Youruo didn't give Zhao Xing a chance to refuse. She flicked her finger and a stream of light flew towards Zhao Xing.

A jade pendant emitting purple energy fell in front of Zhao Xing.

When Zhao Xing saw the jade pendant, he almost recognized her as his master's wife on the spot.

Because this is a lower-grade sixth-level dragon soul jade!
He didn't want to accept it at first, but Princess Youruo gave too much!
"Since it is a gift from the elder, I, the student, thank you for the reward." Zhao Xing took the jade pendant respectfully and no longer performed official etiquette, but disciple etiquette.

"Okay, okay." Princess Youruo was overjoyed. "Take me in to see him."

"Yes." Zhao Xing turned around and sold out Old Liu. This cheap mistress gave too much.

When they reached the mountainside, they saw rolling clouds and mist, blocking their descent.

"Princess, please go back." Liu Tianning's voice came from the mountain.

"Liu Lang, why don't you want to see me?" Princess Youruo asked, "As a man, don't you have the courage to see me?"

Liu Tianning said nothing.

When Zhao Xing saw that things were going to get bad, he immediately wanted to slip away.

As a result, Princess Youruo reached out her hand and the fairy belt flew out again, bringing Zhao Xing back.

This bastard was a fourth-grade sorcerer. Master Zhao had no power to fight back and was immediately captured to Youruo's side.

"Liu Lang, you really don't want to see me?!" Princess Youruo's voice gradually turned cold.

The air around Zhao Xing was sucked out, and a strong negative pressure squeezed Zhao Xing's body, and he suddenly became short of breath.

Damn, this old witch has a dog-like face, she can turn over at any time! Mr. Zhao wanted to cry but had no tears. Liu Tianning, come out and see her! Damn!
"Stop!" Liu Tianning's figure quickly emerged from the clouds.

Zhao Xing was the successor he had been looking for for a long time. If he were to be destroyed by Youruo, he really didn't know when he would be able to meet another one.

"It's a private matter between you and me, and has nothing to do with others." Liu Tianning said, "Let him go."

Youruo smiled and let Zhao Xing go: "Liu Lang, how could I bear to hurt your disciple? It was just a joke, Zhao Xing, don't you think so?"

"Yes. The princess didn't want to harm me." Zhao Xing nodded. He just felt that Princess Youruo had no intention of killing him.

If she really had the chance to attack, Mr. Zhao would not have offered no resistance at all.

"Youruo, come in." Liu Tianning then said to Zhao Xing, "You leave first."

"Yes, I will take my leave." Zhao Xing bowed to Liu Tianning and bowed to Princess Youruo.

Then leave quickly.

Watching Liu Tianning and Princess Youruo both enter the clouds.

Zhao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his gossipy heart was still burning with anxiety.

"The mystery of the two worlds has finally been solved today."

"If this had happened in my previous life, it would have received thousands of comments if it had been posted on a forum."

"I thought Liu Tianning had touched the princess's interest group, but I didn't expect that the old witch was actually Liu Tianning's lover!"

"There is a story, no, there is an affair!"

Zhao Xing felt itchy inside and wished he could make a straw man to crawl over and eavesdrop.

But he just thought about it. Liu Tianning was a fifth-rank official with fourth-rank combat power. Princess Youruo was directly a fourth-rank official and had many magical weapons.

If you want to hear gossip about these two people, you’ll have to wait until later.

“I didn’t expect that Liu Tianning, such a cold-blooded lunatic, had a love debt when he was young, and it was a princess, tut tut.”

Liu Tianning agreed to let him start an exploration team. After hearing some gossip today, Zhao Xing felt that this trip was not in vain.

Zhao Xing was just about to fly away when he saw a flying boat appear in the sky, blocking his way.

"Hmm? Magnolia Flying Boat?" Zhao Xing looked at the flying boat, which was decorated with some beautiful flowers and plants, and there was even a green bamboo growing on the flying boat.

"Please stay, little brother." A gentle female voice came from the flying boat with the wind.

A breeze blew and the sound spread. Zhao Xing stopped because the wind was coming towards him, but he was not offensive and seemed very polite.

"What instructions do you have, distinguished guest?" Zhao Xing stopped and the Magnolia Flying Boat was now facing sideways towards Zhao Xing.

A beaded curtain rose from the window, but it was still blocked by a veil, so only the outline of a woman could be vaguely seen inside.

There were also many decorations on her head, but because of the layer between them, Zhao Xing couldn't figure out their origins.

Judging from this flying boat alone, it is obvious that the identity of the person coming is not simple.

"I dare not. I just want to ask my little brother, is Lord Liu Tianning the mountain ahead?" the female voice asked gently.

No way...are you here to see Lao Liu again?
Zhao Xing replied, "My name is Zhao Xing. You are looking for my master. May I know your name?"

"Murong Qing from Yuanhe County, Daoyuanzhou, turns out to be a disciple of Master Liu. I wonder if you could inform him and say that an old friend is visiting."

When Zhao Xing heard this name, he was shocked.

I didn’t realize that you, Liu Tianning, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have so many debts of love?
A princess just passed by, and here comes another one?
Just as he was in a daze, a light voice came from the cabin: "Mom, the Wanfa Palace is right ahead, let's go straight there..."

"Shut up, how can you be so rude?"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Xing was stunned. Bring a daughter?
"My master is meeting a guest, but I can let him know. Please wait here for a while."

"Thank you."

Zhao Xing took out the ground mirror and quickly sent a message to Liu Tianning.

But Lao Liu did not reply, and it is not known whether he saw the message.

Zhao Xing had no choice but to say, "Madam, my master is meeting guests and is not available for the time being. Please go back."

We can't let a real fight break out with Old Liu, otherwise he might not have time to do things for me.

Hearing this, the hostess of the Magnolia Flying Boat was a little disappointed.

But her manners are much better than Princess Youruo's.

"Since it is not a coincidence, I will come to visit you another day. Please tell me that I will come again in three days."

"Madam, take care. I will be sure to let them know." Zhao Xing bowed.

The Magnolia flying boat turned around and soon disappeared into the horizon.

Watching the flying boat leave, Zhao Xing didn't know what to say.

"Given Princess Youruo's temperament, if we meet, I'm afraid it will really be a Shura Field." Zhao Xing said, "Master's Shura Field, what a strange setting."

Zhao Xing told Liu Tianning the news of Murong Qing's arrival and the appointment to visit him three days later.

Then he waited for a while, and seeing that no one came to the Wanfa Palace again, he left.

Returning to the Eighteen Sophora japonica and Willow Courtyard, Zhao Xing suddenly realized something.

"The eruption of the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth in the Ten Sun Caverns has probably been predicted by many dignitaries."

"The sudden appearance of so many powerful people from different places is proof of this."

"Princess Youruo and Murong Qing may not have come here specifically to look for Liu Tianning. Otherwise, why would they come at this time instead of any other time?"

Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Daoyuanzhou, that’s more than 180,000 miles away?
I can smell it!
"No, we have to finalize this as soon as possible. We also have to tell Xia Jing so that they can get a spot as soon as possible. We must be fully prepared! It will be too late if we are late!"
