The most difficult system to open in history

Chapter 1052 Winter Snow Fortress

In the vast land of Shenzhou and the North Pole, the darkness is boundless, the day fades away, and the eternal night reigns king.

This is a place abandoned by the scorching sun.

The environment of the North Pole is extremely dangerous. It was originally an absolute territory that no one could step into for tens of thousands of years on the vast land of Shenzhou, but it is the northern end of this world, and now there are more than [-] northern troops stationed there.

This not only represents the great military strength of Great Xia, but also proves that this vast land of Shenzhou is well-deserved overlord, and its infrastructure has advanced by leaps and bounds.

A new era is definitely not limited to one aspect. As the saying goes, everyone can clearly feel that all aspects of the vast country of Great Xia are improving at an extremely steady but astonishing speed.

In the land of the North Pole, under the intertwined red light, the Dongxue Fortress with tall city walls winding like a dragon, looks like a newborn giant standing upright and suppressing the entire northern boundary city from a distance, exuding an extremely strong aura Blood of iron.

On the city wall, a sergeant of the northern army who has experienced many battles, after the halberd in his hand was stained with the blood of the rebellious snowmen in the extreme northern snowfield, his momentum became more fierce. Every step he took forward, he poured forward Their murderous intent seemed to contain a roaring and raging blood-colored thunder.

Under the dense blood-colored wolf smoke rising into the sky, three huge ancient black dragons spread their wings across the sky above the Winter Snow Fortress, and left three giant swimming shadows on the city wall.

Then the soldiers of the northern army who were in the shadows raised their heads and stared at the three Black Dragon Guards flying past with a vast and wild aura, with awe and longing in their eyes.

After a month of discussion between Zhao Yu, the Ministry of War, the cabinet and other officials, a brand new promotion route in the army was determined, and it was announced to the whole Daxia. , more able to rise to a higher level of service.

In other words, as long as you are talented and capable, after all the promotion, you can even jump over the dragon gate directly, be incorporated into the emperor's personal guard, and become one of the coveted taboos in the Radiant Army and Night Dire Division. a member.

"My old man often told me that if you don't cut jade, you can't make it into a tool, and that difficult conditions are the best whetstone for cultivation. This sentence really does not deceive me."

On the general platform at the highest point of the city wall of Dongxue Fortress, surrounded by red lights, a young and vigorous voice sounded, and then Zhong Lizhan, who was wearing a large robe of the Radiant Army, well-proportioned and youthful, turned his gaze The Arctic Boundary City in front moved down to the patrol sergeant on the wall below, and continued to speak:

"I remember that the northern army below has been fused with the ancient soldiers' Dao souls for less than a few months. Now it is so powerful that it even formed the first law-repairing army in the whole of Great Xia. The barbarian army that I, Zhong Li, is in is even stronger than the northern army." The military integration time was earlier, but it has fallen far behind in terms of combat power."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Lizhan turned his head, looked at Tianmen Hou Jiangqing who was sitting cross-legged in front of him with a calm expression, and continued to speak with a sigh:

"Master Jiang, if the northern army and the southern barbarian army were to confront each other head-on at this time, the barbarian army might not be able to last for three days, because the three words of light and light law repairing the army are enough to make people's scalp numb."

"Boy Zhong Li, you can't say that. There are specializations in the art industry, and the same is true between the different arms of our Great Xia."

After the calm response fell, Zhong Lizhan had a handsome face, and Tianmen Hou Jiangqing, who was seven points similar to the old Bei'an King and Jiang Yue, showed a faint smile, which showed that he was quite satisfied with the spirit of the Northern Army today, and then he Opening his lips slightly, he continued to speak:

"The wild army is good at fighting in complex terrain, such as jungles, while our northern army is good at charging in the snow field. If the two armies confront each other in a dense forest, the northern army will not be able to last for three days. What you just said The Faxiu army is not very effective in the dense forest."

"However, the rapid growth of the soldiers of the Northern Army is real. Looking down, most of the soldiers are about to complete the induction and directly step into the void. This speed is even difficult for those sect disciples with good talents. Looking at it, the rest of the army are even more jealous, and even I want to tell His Majesty to rotate the barbarian army to this place and practice hard."

The expression of Zhong Lizhan speaking was full of seriousness, and then Jiang Qing in front of him smiled even more, stretched out his hand and pointed downward, and a faint voice came out:

"Look at the huge area of ​​this Winter Snow Fortress, it's easy to accommodate another 10 people. As long as His Majesty is willing, the imperial court is also willing to undertake a huge amount of logistical support. My Northern Army welcomes it very much.

"However, during this period of time, this Marquis has been exploring the reason why the cultivation of the soldiers of the Northern Army has increased so rapidly. On the one hand, because the Arctic where we are located is extremely cold, every soldier not only needs to quickly run his vitality all the time to resist In addition to being attacked by severe cold, but also constantly controlling muscle tremors to generate heat, this is equivalent to carrying out high-intensity cultivation from beginning to end."

After Tianmen Hou Jiangqing finished speaking, he paused for a while, picked up a gourd beside him, shook it, and continued to speak:

"Boy Zhong Li, you have to know that the other side of my northern soldiers' fast cultivation speed is that your majesty and the court's massive resources are underpinning them. The conditions in the Arctic are so dangerous, not to mention the cultivators in the virtual realm, even Daoist monks. It is difficult for monks in the border to gain a foothold, so for the establishment of this winter snow fortress and the garrison of the Northern Army, Daxia spent an unimaginable price.

"Not to mention the heating and lighting equipment first developed by the Ministry of Industry, the daily consumption of the purification and water of life in the hands of Guangguang Benhou is simply shocking. If the speed of the Northern Army's practice does not increase, we will directly find a piece of solid ice It can be killed."

After Tianmen Hou Jiangqing's sonorous and powerful voice fell, he and Zhong Lizhan beside him fell into a short silence. In fact, both of them knew very well that although the Great Xia was prosperous at this time, facing this mysterious and unknown Great Xia The land of Enemy Taixuan is still full of urgency, and is still racing against time.

This is a real life and death battle of luck!

The scene in the North Pole remained unchanged, but after Zhong Lizhan pondered for a while, as if he had thought of something, he spoke slowly, and the young and steady voice continued to say:

"I'm counting the days. Today should be the day when the imperial examinations will be released. I don't know who can win the first number one leader after our Majesty ascended the throne. It's a pity that I can't go to Shenjing City to see it in person."

Zhong Lizhan's voice was much more relaxed than before. After all, this great imperial examination was a blessing for the whole country, no matter for the Great Xia court or the countless people who went to Beijing to take the exam. The meaning of the only way for your son is self-evident. Even Jiang Qing, who has always guarded the northern border and doesn't care about world affairs, kept paying attention to it. Then he stroked his chin and responded lightly:

"The No. [-] scholar is not sure, but the leader specially recruited by the Ministry of Industry can tell with his toes that it is the woman who follows Old Shangshu. After all, these magical equipment in our Winter Snow Fortress were developed by her. "

After Jiang Qing's voice fell, Zhong Lizhan on the side just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but the next moment, the expressions of the two of them changed drastically at the same time, and they raised their heads suddenly, staring at the front of the extremely northern boundary city surrounded by red lights, and blurted out:

"Something is teleporting!"

Suddenly, a large number of runes gradually lit up on the huge boundary city, forming a huge teleportation flower. At the same time, a deafening horn sounded directly from the entire Dongxue Fortress. Countless soldiers of the Northern Army who were on patrol quickly lined up under the command of the school guard's roar.

The teleportation rune flower above the Arctic Boundary City came and dissipated quickly, as if bursting from a bubble, and fell silent again in an instant, and then the figures of Jiang Qing and Zhong Lizhan appeared directly in front of the Boundary City, standing in the sky.

At the same time, in front of the two of them, a little pony was waving its wings and hovering quietly. After Zhong Lizhan saw this, his face was overjoyed, and he raised his head to the sky and let out a roar that resounded through the sky:

"Emergency information from Taixuan Land, Black Dragon Guard, Angry Beast Army follow me and immediately escort him to White Emperor Palace!"

Chapter 1053 The journey of a drop of blood

If the whole world is compared to a giant, then the wind and cloud are its aura, the thunder is its voice, the sun is its left eye, the moon is its right eye, the four poles and five mountains are its four limbs and five bodies, the geography is its tendons, the fields are its muscles, and the stars are the stars. It is the mustache, the vegetation is its fur, the gold and stone are the tooth bones of the giants of heaven and earth, the pearls and jades are its essence, and Yuze is the sweat of giants.

In the end, the ubiquitous avenue between heaven and earth, intertwined back and forth, is the endless blood flowing in the giant's body!

Therefore, after the infinite condensing of the Dao Law of Heaven and Earth, it will become a drop of blood, which the world calls Dao Blood.

In a narrow sense, Dao Xue is the supreme reward from heaven and earth to the saint-killer. The Dao of Heaven draws a cinnabar pattern on his eyebrows that symbolizes Dao. In a broad sense, Dao Xue is the lifelong cultivation of monks in the Land of Gods and Immortals. The core is cohesive, and can even be regarded as a kind of creature between heaven and earth.

The drop of Dao blood on Yeyi's face is extremely ancient, so ancient that it can even be traced back to the fairy palace era before the sinking of Daiyu and Yuanqiao. For countless years in the sacrificial courtyard.

Then there was a drastic change in the North Sea, the King of the Longbo Kingdom killed Ao for divination, and Wuxianshan sent troops in a rage, completely detonating the world war, and in the later stage of this earth-shattering war, all the forces in the entire land of Taixuan were involved, even Pian'an. In Dongsheng County, the Shumei clan, who are naturally peace-loving, were not spared.

Therefore, one day when the war broke out, a high priest of the Tree Phantom Clan slowly stepped into the sacrificial hall, respectfully took away the drop of Dao blood that had been enshrined, and then went straight to the Beihai battlefield.

The Battle of Beihai can be regarded as the most tragic battle in the land of Taixuan for countless years, especially during the war, suddenly there was a heavy news that the Immortal Palace collapsed overnight, and then, without restraint, countless The power has completely turned his eyes red, no matter how high his cultivation is, he will never die.

Under the overwhelming battle, even the land gods and immortals fell from time to time, the Dao wept, the blood rained, and finally the sky in the North Sea was directly broken, and the luck in the north of the land of Taixuan collapsed, and the Long Bo Kingdom completely disappeared. Among the Five Immortals Mountains in Beihai, the blood of the three mountains flowed into rivers, not one of them survived, and the two mountains of Daiyuyuanqiao completely sank under the Beihai Sea.

And this drop of Dao blood, together with the two islands, disappeared in the land of Taixuan.

The trajectory of fate suddenly changed at this moment. The land of Taixuan turned to the left, while the sunken Erxian Mountain turned to the right. For tens of thousands of years after that, this drop of Dao blood has been in the southern barbarian jungle, continuing to accept the pressure of the barbarians. worship.

Until one day, under the watchful eyes of a human monk known as Master, the saint of the barbarians branded this drop of Dao blood into the fifth totem on the face of a baby, and let the latter take the road. Jian flew to a country called Daxia.

Since then, for this drop of great blood, the boring life has come to an end, and everything has gradually become tense and exciting.

Under the control of the young emperor, Great Xia was thriving day by day, flattening the Nanman, suppressing the snowfield, and even annihilating the alien race of the Sun Empire who was a feud in Wuwu Mountain. All these supreme glory were witnessed by Da Dao's blood.

But the haze from the land of Taixuan gradually surfaced, and this drop of great blood followed the young man who carved the totem, and once again returned to the old place where he had lived for countless years.

For Dao Xue at this time, the land of Taixuan seems so strange today, and the information of the Land of Taixuan that You Yeyi spent countless minds imprinting on his body reveals a strong strangeness, this drop of Dao Xue I don't know what happened to the former homeland for tens of thousands of years, but if it can speak, it will definitely roar loudly:

"It's weird, it's weird!"

The rucksack of the flying messenger is not dark, so this drop of avenue blood can clearly sense all the changes around it, whether it is the space shift when the Arctic city is teleported, or the cold and lonely after returning to the vast land of Shenzhou. , feel real.

Then, accompanied by the roar of the sergeants soaring into the sky in the winter snow fortress in the North Pole, and the violent killing intent, a young and powerful big hand directly held the flying messenger where Dao Xue was located, and then a young and calm roar rings directly:

"Escort the information from the land of Taixuan, and send it to the White Emperor Palace immediately!"

After the roar, beams of teleportation beams shot up from the city wall of Dongxue Fortress, including Zhong Lizhan holding the teleportation messenger.

It took only three short breaths to turn the universe around and move the space. When the group of people reappeared, the whole body was already bright and bright, and at the same time, it belonged to the breath of spring blossoms, rushing straight towards their faces.

This is the favorite season for the drop of great blood in the flying messenger!

In the middle of the morning, the setting sun poured down from the sky, bringing extremely warm heat to the entire vast land of Shenzhou. The endless blue sky was so pure, and the lightly blowing wind also carried a breath of fresh air. The refreshing floral fragrance, this is the most beautiful April day in the world.

But the opposite is Zhong Li Zhan's strong and murderous aura at this time. The taboo of the Radiant Army held the flying messenger figure as soon as he appeared on the teleportation platform outside the Imperial Garden of the White Emperor Palace, and directly hugged him. Throwing out a token representing the identity of the Radiant Army, at the same time a fast and clear voice rolled out:

"The first-level information of Taixuan Land will be sent directly to His Majesty without any delay!"

A steady voice resounded throughout the teleportation platform, and then at the front of the Royal City Guards arrayed on the teleportation platform, the middle-aged commander suddenly turned extremely solemn, reached out to take the token, glanced quickly, and went A military salute, without delay, directly turned around and led the way, and at the same time the voice came out:

"Lord Zhong Li, please come with me. Your Majesty is not in the imperial garden, but in the front hall, because this is the final imperial examination of the Great Court Examination, and His Majesty will personally judge the final leader."

"Then go directly to the Emperor's Palace!"

After the urgent response of Zhong Li Zhan came out, the speed of the group of people's advance suddenly accelerated. Clear the level.

From the transmission platform of the Imperial Garden of the White Emperor Palace to the Huangji Hall in front, there are a total of 170 two checkpoints in the open and dark, and under the early opening of the gates by the imperial guards in the imperial city, the battle of the end of Li together with the drop from the land of Taixuan The avenue of blood coming from the world went unimpeded all the way, and it took only three short breaths to enter the Meridian Gate Square of the White Emperor Palace.

As soon as you step into the Meridian Gate Square, the drop of Dao blood in the flying messenger can see that directly below the great sun shining with infinite light in the sky, the imperial hall that symbolizes the ultimate majesty stands majestically, and with the next breath, there is another sound. A solemn, majestic bell that shook the sky suddenly sounded from the White Emperor's Palace, sweeping the entire city of Shenjing.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

After the five thunder bells fell, a young and calm emperor's voice came out, resounding through the world:

"The number one scholar in the Great Imperial Examination in the 90th year of the Great Xia Calendar, the Yuan family of Fuzhou in the Great Xia Dynasty, Yuanbai!"

When the emperor's voice fell, the city of Shenjing was boiling, and countless people and people shouted the word "Yuanbai" in unison, and the voice shook the sky and went straight to the sky.

Chapter 1054

After countless years of worship and accumulation, the drop of great blood that was quietly hovering in the backpack of the flying messenger at this time actually already had an extremely weak and chaotic consciousness, and perhaps this consciousness could not form a so-called idea , but already has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Under this instinct, this drop of great blood actually prefers the vast land of Shenzhou where it is now, even if it is being held tightly by Zhong Lizhan's big hand, standing under the most majestic and rich Huangji Palace in the entire Great Xia Emperor's Dao.

Above the Meridian Gate Square, countless invisible and intangible majesty of the emperor's way filled every inch of the void around him, tyrannical and supreme, and even made Dao Xue, who was the embodiment of the core law of the land gods and wonderlands, produce a The idea of ​​surrender, and this imperial aura, apart from being domineering and noble, is also warm and heavy like the sun.

Two kinds of romance, made by one family!

Below the Hall of the Emperor, this drop of blood carrying the information of the land of Taixuan, one can clearly feel that Zhong Lizhan, who was escorted by the imperial guards, after the vast emperor's voice announced the candidate for the first place in the imperial examination. There was a slight pause for the whole pace of walking forward, and then a young voice came directly from the latter's mouth:

"It's well deserved, Yuan Sicheng, but I don't know how high Sima Annan is. If he doesn't even make it into the top ten, we must make fun of him."

Dao Xue, who had just had a little bit of chaotic consciousness, didn't know what the Great Court Examination was, but it could feel the joyful emotion on Zhong Lizhan's body, and following the latter's strides, just walked to the Meridian Gate In the center of the square, inside the Great Hall of the Emperor, the young emperor's voice belonging to Zhao Yu soared into the sky again, swept outwards, and spread throughout the huge city of Shenjing in an instant:

"The 90nd place in the [-]th year of the Great Xia Calendar, the Song family in Liuye Lane, Shenjing City, Song Xinhao!"

While the sound of the Emperor Huanghuang was rolling around, on the Baiyu Avenue outside the Meridian Gate of the White Emperor Palace, countless people crowded on both sides of the avenue continued to cheer and cheer, and among the crowd, the pale and pretty face, but the early blooming Miss Song Fuchang After hearing the words, he threw himself into Sun Jian's arms next to him, bursting into tears, choking with sobs.

Then Sun Jian, whose body was as tall and straight as a pine, and who was wearing the big robe of Sicheng Guanyou, stretched out his hand and gently patted Miss Chang's undulating shoulders, raised the corner of his mouth, showing a toothless smile, and said softly:

"Xinhao, this kid, is quite upbeat."

If you look carefully, you will find that the missing half of the teeth of the former chief of the imperial examination has grown back, and Sun Jian's voice has not yet fallen, and the old housekeeper of the Song Mansion beside the two is already overjoyed at this time Crazy, with a flushed face, he clung to the servant next to him and jumped up and down like crazy, roaring and repeating a sentence incessantly:

"No. [-], No. [-], the young master won No. [-], go and tell the master, go and tell the master, the master will be happy from the bottom of his heart when he finds out!"

Then the servant who was firmly held by the old housekeeper looked helpless, and responded with a smile:

"Old butler, you are holding on to me like this, I can't tell the master right now!"

The servant repeated it several times in a row, but the old housekeeper turned a deaf ear to it, still clutching the former's arm tightly and laughing wildly, because this old man who almost witnessed the changes of the Song Mansion with his own eyes can understand this ranking best. How important is Yexiang Song Mansion.

After the entire Shenjing City boiled for a few breaths, the cheers of all the people on both sides of the noisy Baiyu Avenue suddenly stopped, because the imperial voice belonging to Zhao Yu resounded from the Huangji Hall again, and continued to spread out in a mighty way:

"The person who came first in the 90th year of the Great Xia Calendar, Sima Clan of Jiangling, Jinzhou, Sima Annan!"

As soon as the emperor's voice came out, whether it was the officials of the Great Xia waiting for the news inside the Meridian Gate of the White Emperor Palace, or the people who spontaneously gathered on both sides of the Baiyu Avenue outside the palace, and even the countless monks and school palaces in Shenjing City All of them opened their mouths together and let out an exclamation, because it was really unexpected.

Before the start of the Great Court Examination, there were folk storytellers and some sects who predicted the ranks of the people on the list, and whether it was Yuan Bai, the Southern Liu who came from the south of Daxia and lived on the plane tree in Shenjing Que, or Xinhao, the most proud disciple of Daxia Academy, are all on the list.

Especially Yuan Bai, the Bai Xue song to send His Highness the Emperor Taisun back to the capital, and the song "The Phoenix He Shaoer He Duo" chanting the Southern Liuque, has now been completely spread all over the world along with the story of the storyteller, and has become the heart of countless young people. They are hardworking and progressive models, so the ranking of these two people is within the expectations of the world, but Tan Hua and Di Sima Annan are really dark horses that have turned out.

Sima Annan, in the eyes of those who don't know him, is a rich young man in white clothes who plays games in the world. Relying on his good relationship with His Majesty, he does not have a decent job on weekdays, and there are even many people in Shenjing City, Taking it as a negative teaching material for idleness, and this extremely thick-skinned Shenji Pavilion walking around the world, this time completely overturned his inherent impression in the eyes of the world.

But in fact, for Sima Annan, he doesn't care what the world thinks of him, but he cares about the feelings of the people he likes.

Among the crowd beside Baiyu Avenue, a pretty girl in green clothes was extremely excited, with a sincere smile on her face, then she turned to look at You Tingjian who was wearing a simple and coarse cloth, and said happily: :

"Father, look, I said he can do it, and he told me he can do it too!"

Then You Tingjian looked at the slim girl in front of him, like a daughter who had grown up like a green tree, raised her hand dotingly, patted the latter's shoulder, and showed a smile, but there was still nothing in her mouth. He said mercilessly:

"This kid is far worse than me. Back then, your father and I were the number one scholar, and they were the ones who galloped in the forefront when they were parading."

After finishing speaking, You Tingjian squinted his eyes, and turned his head to look at the end of the Baiyu Avenue ahead, the solemn and solemn Meridian Gate of the White Emperor Palace, with a complicated look on his face.

In front of the Meridian Gate of the White Emperor Palace, there is a wide jade Jinshui Bridge. In a short while, the candidates who won the list will start from this Golden Water Bridge, leap out from the Meridian Gate of the White Emperor Palace, and then walk along the Central Avenue , all the way to see the flowers, across the six banks of the mountains and rivers of the entire city of Shenjing, and be congratulated by hundreds of millions of people.

You Ting, who was standing with his hands behind his back among the crowd, looked at him, and suddenly bursts of confusion appeared in his wise eyes. Even though he had already experienced vicissitudes and ups and downs in half his life, under this situation, his heart was still surging and he couldn't help it. Own.

Because for him, the angry horse in fresh clothes and the horse riding on the central avenue are the most beautiful, publicized, and unforgettable years in his life!

Chapter 1055

The huge Meridian Gate Square under the Huangji Hall is 99 feet long and 290 feet wide. Ordinary people walk from the outermost to the steps of the main hall, which takes about 79 steps. Under the escort of the Royal City Guards, Holding the flying messenger, Zhong Lizhan strode forward, crossing this distance, took a total of [-] steps and took [-] breaths.

Within these 79 breaths, in the Emperor's Great Hall, the Huanghuang Emperor's voice from Zhao Yu uttered three times, announcing the champion, second place and Tanhua of this 90-year imperial examination in the Great Xia Calendar.

And the three emperor's voices that resounded throughout Shenjing City fell, and Zhong Lizhan happened to step up the white jade stairs of His Highness Huangji. At the same time, the gate of Huangji Hall above his head opened outwards, and he was already waiting at the gate of the hall. The court musicians directly played the qin, zither, bells and drums.

In the next breath, a magnificent movement soars into the sky, and the bells, drums, zithers and zithers sing harmoniously, intertwined with each other, as if announcing to the whole world the official arrival of Wenquxing in the 90th year of the Great Xia calendar.

Then candidates who participated in the palace examination rushed out of the Emperor's Hall surrounded by three young young people, and congratulations sounded one after another, while walking beside the young people was a group of veteran cabinet ministers who were one of the examiners. At this time, they also had smiles on their old faces, nodding and exchanging something with each other.

One side is a high-spirited and powerful upstart of the imperial court, while the other side is a taboo from the Tianhui Army who came quickly with information about the land of Taixuan, and then the two met without warning on the Baiyu Avenue below the Emperor Palace .

"The front line of Dongxue Fortress hastened the military situation, let go, let go!"
