Since most of the system's functions were blocked, Xiaotong has become weaker and weaker. In his words, "I don't have enough energy, I'm going to sleep."
That is the period of deep sleep, unless Li Canran intends to start the system task again, Xiao Tong will remain dormant forever.
Xiaotong's falling into a deep sleep state means that he can no longer detect other people's strength at will, can't perfectly hide his own breath fluctuations, and can't check the favorability of others.
Before completely breaking off contact with Li Canran, Xiaotong cried and said, "Host, I hope you wake me up, but I don't want you to wake me up."
It was rare for Li Canran to look a little more pleasant, and said, "Go to sleep."
"_(:з"∠)_Okay"
The day of the Shanhai Grand Ceremony is approaching, and each state needs to send young disciples to participate in the ceremony.
The destination of the itinerary is Zhongzhou.
The Great Elder warned that it is not the Northern Territory, but someone else's territory, so it is best not to go there.
The implication is that the Demon God Sect may not be able to cover them.
Li Canran also knew that this trip must be dangerous, but Zhou Rong insisted on going, he had no choice but to follow his will.
Early in the morning on the day before leaving, the Great Elder sent someone to look for him and asked him to go to the Elder Hall.Because he was worried that he would not be able to catch up with the team from Wanxi City, he did not pass.
The look and tone of the person who came came were very calm, and it wasn't a big deal after all.
……
Zhongzhou is very far away from the city of Wanxi Prefecture where the Wanxi Mountain Range is located, and there is an abyss and trench thousands of feet wide in the middle.
They didn't take a cloud boat, but a boat pulled by several huge sea monsters.
Leading the team was the city lord of Wanxi City, who explained to the young people: "The sea wind above the abyss is strong, and the cloud boat is not stable. When it lands, it can be replaced with a cloud boat."
Zhongzhou is magnificent, about the size of two Northern Territories.In that distant land, there are many aristocratic families and countless sects. Cultivation figures can be seen everywhere, and there are even Buddhist attires.
The Shanhai Grand Ceremony was indeed as rumored, with a sea of people, and it was very lively.In order to welcome this grand event, Li Canran saw bright lights on the streets of several state cities in broad daylight.
At night, it must be a bustling scene with an unknown moon.
The imperial city is located in the center of Zhongzhou, and it is also the busiest place for this grand ceremony.
The young monks who came from various cities in the Xuanqing Continent entered the city one by one.
It can be seen that many maids dressed as palace maids are holding monster horns, feathers, sharp claws and other objects in their hands, walking through the street with their heads lowered.
Rituals are all about sacrifices. In the past, cattle and sheep were used for sacrifices, but now monsters are used for sacrifices.
Zhou Rong patted Xiao Zi comfortingly on his shoulder, signaling it not to be nervous.
Standing beside Zhou Rong, Li Canran stared at the useless Ziyan dragon with a little amusement.
Xiao Zi bared her teeth at him: super fierce.
Crowds of court ladies walked gracefully, bringing a burst of fragrant wind.
The next thing that appeared in front of everyone was a bodyguard in armor, followed by a quaint sedan chair.
Behind the chariot and sedan chair followed a group of palace people walking with fans.
A monk from Wanxi City beside him said: "I heard that starting tomorrow, every state will send people to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. Today, the royal family members will start first, and the queen's sedan chair will pass by just now."
Li Canran raised his eyebrows, "So low-key?" Only a few guards and maids followed.
The man said: "The queen of the outer palace, so many people are enough to give her face."
It was only then that Li Canran remembered that the Zhongzhou royal family was divided into two parts, the inner and outer ones. The outer one was an empty frame that had been propped up. The one that really controlled most of Zhongzhou was the inner royal family that had been passed down for thousands of years.
In essence, it is also a family of cultivation, but it is the oldest family in Xuanqing Continent.
The altar used for sacrifice was built under a straight mountain in the city.The top of the peak is facing the top of the Mianji Temple, which is the most towering among the imperial palaces. There are two huge black divine birds carved on it. on the contrary.
According to legend, Mianji is a monster raised by the royal family in the past dynasties, and Mianji Ding is the place where the royal prisoners are held.
Li Canran really wanted to go up and have a look.
The purpose of Zhou Rong's trip was very clear. He wanted to find out the enemy who killed his parents more than ten years ago, and the culprit who tried to get involved in the blood of the Dragon God.
If that person really hides part of the blood power in his body without fear of death, he will definitely be able to feel it.
Apart from accompanying him, Li Canran had another purpose.
Ever since he succeeded in using the vitality transformation array last time, he has been wanting to try the forbidden technique about bringing the dead back to life, which is recorded in the "Actual Explanation of Formation and Witchcraft" that he dug out from the Golden Feather Order.
It can't be regarded as a real resurrection, but through the combination of formation and witchcraft, using the bones of the dead to stimulate his strength in life.It is similar to the technique of manipulating the living dead spread in Cangzhou City, but in comparison, it is much simpler.
In addition, he has mastered the vitality formation, can directly wrap the bones of the corpse with vitality, and can use the power of the formation to kill two birds with one stone.
The only troublesome thing about implementing this forbidden technique is that it requires a powerful dead body.
This is also the reason why he came to Zhongzhou.
——There is a luxurious mausoleum at the foot of the imperial city, in which all the dead monks with status and background in Zhongzhou are buried.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time that someone had been poached, and Li Canran felt that he wasn't panicking at all.
However, it may be a bit difficult to enter the mausoleum.I don't know if there is a tomb robbery gang in Zhongzhou, if there is, it would be great to count him in.
……
Because the system mall was closed, the things needed for the forbidden technique had to be bought in advance.
Fortunately, he has the spirit stone, so he won't be shy when spending money.
In a cloth shop on the side of the street, Li Canran took a fancy to a set of night clothes, and started bargaining with the cloth shop owner.
Zhou Rong asked from the side: "What are you buying this for?"
"It looks handsome."
Zhou Rong paused, "I remember telling you that you and I must tell the truth."
"This is the truth, do you want one?"
"……Need not."
After covering the lower half of his face with a black cloth, Li Canran turned his head and asked him, "Do you still recognize me?"
"Ah."
"Really?"
He moved the cloth up a bit, covering the lower eyelids, "How about this?"
"...I can recognize it."
Li Canran felt that perhaps it would be more practical for him to stick a human skin-mask on his face, but unfortunately the previous one was broken, and the human skin-mask was too expensive.
Zhou Rong said: "There are two people over there who have been watching you."
"Let them see." He returned the fabric in his hand to the boss, and said, "Give me two eye-sized holes in this position."
Because you want to do bad things, you must not be recognized by others.
boss:"……"
"Brother Xie?" Someone called him from behind.
Li Canran turned around subconsciously, and saw the two people Zhou Rong was talking about.
One of them is Yun Le, who I haven't seen for a long time.
Seeing his straight face, Yun Le knew that she had not mistaken him, so she immediately greeted him excitedly.
He was wearing a white bachelor's uniform trimmed with clouds, and his face was delicate and childish.
Li Canran knew from the correspondence that he had passed the academic examination, and now entered the Imperial Academy set up by the Outer Palace.
"I knew you were going to participate in the Mountain and Sea Ceremony, but I didn't expect that the imperial city is so big, so I actually met you." Yun Le said with a smile.
As he spoke, he looked at the people beside Li Canran, his expression immediately became a little restrained, "Zhou, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Rong had a little impression of him, so he didn't bother to guess why he was afraid of him, so he nodded casually.
"This is my friend, Zhuang Que."
This companion named after a bird was dressed the same as Yun Le, and saluted with a proud expression.
Yun Le said: "Calculating the time, the ceremony should have officially started, let's go over and have a look."
Li Canran lazily said, "What's there to see?"
Yun Le shook her head, pretending to be mysterious and said: "There will be a princess from the royal family."
Zhou Rong asked, "From the Xuan family?"
"Exactly."
Li Canran's expression changed, "... Xuan Nuo?"
Yun Le nodded, "But at this moment, the stone platform for the ceremony must be completely surrounded. Fortunately, I have already reserved a place."
Zhou Rong noticed the change in Li Canran's face and asked, "What's wrong with you, do you know her?"
The latter looked at him blankly, not knowing how to speak.
Li Canran thought, he actually forgot about the heroine of the original book, and it was only now that he woke up like a dream.
The reason why he felt that Zhongzhou was so familiar was because in the original book, Zhou Rong and her got married here.
He skipped the description of that paragraph, but it is impossible to remember it wrong.
Xiao Tong said, this is a real plane, and it should have nothing to do with the original novel... Li Canran thought so.
"I'm fine," he said.
As the descendant of the royal family that has been passed down for thousands of years, this is not the first time that Xuan Nuo, the most delicate little princess, has made an appearance in this imperial city, but every time she makes an appearance, the crowd can arouse deafening cheers.
She is good-looking, has a gentle smile, and her eyes are curved like crescent moons.
The only regrettable thing is that she can't speak and can't make any sound.But even so, it does not prevent everyone in Zhongzhou from liking her.
On the ceremonial stage, standing next to her was her brother.
Xuan Xia.
The two of them, as members of the royal family, appeared in this mountain and sea ceremony, both dressed in complicated and dignified clothes, and faced everyone with a smile.
The heads and horns of monsters used for sacrifices are all on the altar, and there are people in the palace who are reciting prayers and kneeling ceremonies.
Rituals and sacrifices are always inseparable.
Li Canran was bored watching it.
"The most exciting part of the Shanhai Ceremony is the subjugation of monsters after the ceremony." Yun Le introduced, "Brother Xie, you must watch it."
"To subdue the monster, whoever subdue it counts?" he asked.
"You are too greedy." Zhuang Que who was standing beside Yun Le said, "There is no such good thing in the world."
Li Canran glanced at him, but said nothing.
Yun Le quickly smoothed things over and said, "This is not necessarily the case, but there will definitely be other rewards."
At this moment, Li Canran caught Xuan Xia's gaze.
The senior brother of the five veins of the Demon God Sect was staring at him with interest.
Zhou Rong looked over coldly.
As if noticing the look in his brother's eyes, Xuan Nuo also looked over curiously.
Seeing Zhou Rong, she smiled at him with the corners of her mouth upturned.
Zhou Rong looked at her, the coldness on his face dissipated a little, and he nodded slightly.
Yun Le looked dumbfounded, and murmured, "Did she just...was smiling at me?"
Li Canran watched this scene with complicated feelings in his heart.
He really didn't want to be jealous with a little girl, so he could only pretend not to see it.
