I started a boy band in ancient times

Ting Su’s excitement of seeing fellow villagers gradually faded away, and she was suspicious of the coincidence of Chu Qi’s appearance here: “Speaking of which, how did you know… that person? He has a good relationship with you and is willing to bring you to Come here."

Chu Qi was still cautious at first, covering up a lot of things a little bit, hiding half of what he said, and not revealing everything, but he saw that Ting Su took the initiative to confide the sorrows of the past few decades, neither hiding his secrets nor acting like a sinister and cunning person, Then she felt more and more that she could trust her, and explained: "I met Xiao Duan in Chengguo, and he sent me to the south for refuge. He is a very nice person. Of course, one of the purposes of my coming here is to find you. "

Seeing that Ting Su was still puzzled, he briefly talked about the fate of Beiyong who had the "Women's Star-making System" and a series of crazy moves by Cheng Qiushi who had the "Uranus Star-making System".

Ting Su's face turned pale, and he took two steps back, almost unable to stand still. After a long time, he murmured: "I thought I was the only unlucky person in the whole world, but after I met you, I felt less lonely again. But now I know that there are still people doing this... I have heard of Cheng Qiushi, but why would he do this?"

"The system is likely to play a bigger game." Chu Qi said solemnly.

During his groping for follow-up missions, he gradually discovered some scattered clues, but he seemed unable to piece them together with his own strength. However, the man from Beiyong was dead, and Cheng Qiushi couldn't make friends with him, so he could only pin his only hope. In Nammoo, so he wakes up and finds himself still able to keep his cool on the boat going south.

Fortunately, he met Duan Zhishen with an unusual status, and the timing was just a coincidence, and Ting Su, the owner of the star-making system, had no evil intentions and was easy to talk, which made things turn around a bit.

Chu Qi wanted to win over Ting Su, so he added his reasoning together: "As far as survival is concerned, there is no conflict between us, we just need to get what we need and find the right team members. Then the problem is Come on, why are our respective systems divided into male and female groups, heavenly kings and queens? Qiu Shi is a high-ranking member of the Wu Clan, even the Beiyong man, I heard, is the most favored youngest son among the leaders of one of the upper six tribes."

"There is another problem, that is time." Chu Qi bit his lips lightly, "I talked with Cheng Qiushi, he had a star-making system as soon as he traveled four years ago, and I traveled for 15 years, until half a year You just got it before, and your time is even longer. Although I don’t know about Beiyong, but judging from the time of the three of us, each has its own sequence and there is no pattern. Why is this? I have no way of judging.”

Ting Su listened to the many confusions thrown by him, and quickly became entangled. These things she would not have considered before she met the same owner of the star-making system, but Chu Qi thought about it for a long time because of Cheng Qiushi.

There is no substantial conflict of interest in the star-making mission of the four, but if I have to say it, there is only one thing that is difficult to discover...

He asked Ting Su a key question: "Have you started any follow-up tasks?"

Ting Su paused, staring blankly at the void, Chu Qi knew that she had opened the system interface in her mind, and sure enough she was not sure after a while: "Yes, yes, I have triggered this follow-up task for several years, It has been stuck at 85% of the progress, because my life is safe, so I didn't care too much, I didn't care about it, and I couldn't see anything except the task name."

"What is the task name?"

"World Superstar - 'The Rise of the Shadow of the Taiyin'".

Chu Qi's pupils shrank slightly, but the answer he got was different from what he expected.

Looking at her expression, Ting Su knew that something was different. She was not without scheming. She had been a social animal for many years in her previous life, and she had learned to speak nonsense when she saw people and ghosts. Signing the contract can further highlight her ability.

She said: "Why, is it against you?"

"On the contrary, we seem to be in the same camp." Chu Qi sighed, "Cheng Qiushi also accepted the follow-up mission, but I don't know the details, but from your standpoint, he is probably opposite us— Rise of the Sun Candle."

Ting Su said: "Then why did you frown just now, with a look of disbelief?"

"Because my previous guess was overturned." Chu Xi paused, but did not immediately explain, and asked instead, "When did you accept the follow-up mission? Can you tell me?"

Ting Su hesitated slightly: "This has something to do with our Majesty, I can't make the decision."

The two looked at Xiao Ning together. At this time, Xiao Ning was talking with Duan Zhishen on the other side. The atmosphere between them was very subtle. As a queen, Xiao Ning was more accommodating, leaning forward slightly, listening to Duan Zhishen. Shen Wei replied, while Duan Zhishen was more than respectful, but showed no respect for Shengwei, and even had a perfunctory and lazy attitude.

Xiao Ning was sullen at Duan Zhishen's indifference, but this was not the time to get angry. Ting Su stepped forward and whispered something in her ear. She nodded slightly and looked at Chu Qi slowly: "Now It's not time to talk, tomorrow afternoon, I will send someone to send you into the palace."

Chu Qi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress."

Xiao Ning turned her attention to Duan Zhishen again: "You will come with me tomorrow."

Duan Zhishen was taken aback suddenly: "...Me? But—"

"It'll be all right."

Duan Zhishen resisted very much: "I don't want to."

Xiao Ning's tone was strong: "You just have to obey what I say."

Duan Zhishen still wanted to refute, but Taoist Yilu coughed lightly and reminded: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, if you go back later, someone will be suspicious."

Taoist Yilu is more than a few years old, as the master of the Sanqi Temple, he is highly respected, even the emperor respects him three points, and Duan Zhishen was raised by him, so he will not be arrogant in front of him, since he opened mouth, he had no choice but to gather up his impatience.

Xiao Ning was very dissatisfied with his attitude, but she had no choice but to be short of time, so she had to quickly explain a few more words, turned around and returned the same way.

Taoist Yilu was the last one, and quietly tapped Duan Zhishen's forehead, but said nothing.

After they left, Duan Zhishen's mood still didn't improve, and he sulked alone with a cold face. Chu Qi saw everything in his eyes, sighed and poured him wine.

"Usually, you are the only one who persuades others to drink, right? I'll try it today too. I don't know much about other words. I just know that no one wants to drink with a sad face when persuading people to drink."

"..." Duan Zhishen was speechless for a few seconds, but fortunately he gave him some face, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Then he poured one and drank the other. After several cups in succession, Duan Zhishen's depression seemed to dissipate a lot, and he asked instead: "Is Ting Su the person you are looking for?"

Chu Qi nodded: "That's right. But... I'm curious. When I first asked you, you thought it was ridiculous. How did you think of her later?"

Duan Zhishen closed his eyes: "The Queen's ascension to the throne has her credit. If the Ting family hadn't fully supported her and stood firmly behind her, it would be difficult for her to defeat the late Emperor..."

He stopped talking, but Chu Qi also understood the meaning of his words.The influence of the Nanmu family is extremely huge. Among them, there are three major families with deep foundations and rich heritage. They have a history of more than a hundred years. Their formation can even influence the whereabouts of the imperial power, and the three families check and balance each other and restrict each other.

"Although Nanmu has a precedent for a woman to be emperor, it is indeed very rare. Throughout the millennium, there is only Zhuang Zong in those days. It was because the ancestors disliked his sons' lack of virtue and incompetence, so they left the throne to the princess who was still at that time. Emperor Zhuangzong, and she was able to ascend the throne because of the joint efforts of the two great families. But the situation of His Majesty...was much worse than this." Duan Zhishen said, "But Ting Su is willing to take risks to support her and turn the tide... ...It actually succeeded. Too many unbelievable things happened at that time, and now that I think about it, I'm afraid most of them were not accidents."

But if it weren't for Chu Qi's notification, he would only think that Ting Su is a strange person, and he would not consider some mysterious aspects.

Chu Qi thought about it, and asked: "Then what do you think about this? Her Majesty is bound to Ting Su and has become a generation of queens. Although our men's team does not have such favorable conditions, it is also suitable for you." The knight-errant prodigal son has a lot of benefits."

The corner of Duan Zhishen's mouth twitched: "...Let's talk about it later."

If there is no immediate rejection, it is progress. Chu Qi was greatly encouraged and advocated the benefits of joining the group. He even dragged Duan Zhishen, who originally wanted to live alone on the mountain, back to live with them in the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and greeted Mingyao by the way. lobbying.It's a pity that Mingyao, out of some kind of psychological guilt, didn't dare to say more after receiving a cold glance from Duan Zhishen. The persuasion effect did not increase but retreated.

Chu Qi had been waiting to enter the palace in the afternoon of the next day, but in the early morning, he heard the sound of more than one car and horse.

He walked to the front of the courtyard and found that there were more than 20 people coming, and there were six carriages. The guards who had fought with him in the peach blossom forest that day changed their armor and bowed their hands to him and Duan Zhishen: " Your Majesty please."

Chu Xi looked around, scanning the number of people and horses and horses: "Isn't it just me and Xiao Duan, such a big battle?"

The man said: "Your Majesty is afraid that it will be unsafe for distant guests to live at the foot of the mountain, so he asked me to take you into the palace together."

"You don't have to. In the imperial city, under the feet of the emperor, how can it be unsafe? What's more, I have already gone there in person. How can the friends I accompany have something to do?"

The man was obviously not a master who would quarrel, his tense face did not relax, but his eyes darkened slightly, and he insisted: "Your Majesty has an order, please follow me."

More than 20 guards around him said in unison: "Please follow your Majesty's instructions." The gesture was irresistible.

Ling Feidu subconsciously took a step forward from the side; Biwu lowered his head, bit his lip and clenched his fist; Mingyao took Mingyao's arm and hid at the end, watching Chu Qi's back nervously; Duan Zhishen died dead He frowned, but didn't refuse firmly.

Chu Qi glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "Then let's go."

The queen's guards separated the six of them, and each of them got into a carriage. The windows of the carriage were sealed by wooden boards, and thick curtains hung outside, making it impossible to tell the direction.

Chu Qi sat in the car, propping his chin to think about the intention.He felt that Ting Su might have come up with the idea of ​​separating them. As the owner of the star-making system, she also knew most of Chu Qi's abilities. Mu, she has a lot of power to speak, and she can completely minimize all accidents.

Men's teams and men's teams are all teams, so it's safer to be alone.

But Chu Qi is generally more at ease.Ling Feidu has always been reliable, excellent in martial arts, and proficient in concealment, so it is difficult to trap; Biwu looks thin, but has infinite strength, even the highest among them; Nine orifices, deceiving people invisible; and Mingya is a woman, so she cannot be a member of his boy group, unless Nanmu has completely torn her face with them, there is no need to touch her.

Chu Qi was immersed in thinking, and suddenly felt the shaking of the rut. He froze for a moment, found a support point in the car, and then clearly realized that the carriage was going down.

In the process of descending, there were some bumps due to deceleration, but the whole was smooth without too many bumps and bumps. Chu Qi counted in his heart, and when the carriage came to a smooth stop, he had almost estimated the depth.

At the same time, the leader said: "Please come down, Your Majesty is waiting in front."

Chu Qi got out of the car in a hurry, and at the same time scanned around the underground building. It was quite spacious and bright, about three stories high, and connected up and down, so that the carriage could travel smoothly. There were several buildings he couldn't recognize inside. Among the statues, there was only one that he was familiar with, which seemed to be the "Flower God" that he had glimpsed on the day of the Huachao Festival. There were also futon seats, which was not like a quiet and cold place.

It's just that there is a relatively narrow corridor ahead. Chu Qi listened to the guards, and the queen seemed to be over there. He walked through it, and there was a bronze door at the end.

Chu Qi's eyelids twitched, and he pushed open the heavy copper door. Looking around at the scene inside, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The layout of the interior is almost the same as that of the exterior, except that the enshrined statues have changed a lot. This time, Chu Qi looks much more familiar. They are the six sacred beasts that protect the royal family. Among them, the statue of Suzaku is particularly prominent, and the others seem to be just for it. foil.

In front of the many statues, Queen Nanmu and Ting Su were there. Besides them, there was a young man in a red brocade robe with his back turned to him, and he turned his head slowly until he heard the sound of the door opening.

Chu Qi activated the observation technique, and when the young man's appearance and the data in the observation technique appeared in his eyes at the same time, some of his previous uncertainties and confusions were resolved at the same time.

Without him, it's just that Duan Zhishen and Duan Zhishen look almost exactly the same.

However, the observation technique shows that his name is Xiao Zhijin, and he is the current Crown Prince of Nanmu.

In fact, it is not difficult for Chu Qi to predict the attitude of the empress and Duan Zhishen before. Judging from the atmosphere, this is a very serious crime, and even the emperor was not spared.

"You are here." But the empress was exceptionally calm, and simply introduced, "This is my only son, and also the prince of my Mu country, Xiao Zhijin. Jiner, this is Dongcheng's son Chu Qi, who is also Ting Su's old friend. .”

The only son, Chu Qi's eyebrows twitched, he glanced at Xiao Ning, but only saw her deep and indifferent expression, and his heart was like a mirror for a moment - this Prince Nanmu didn't even know that he had a twin brother.

Although Xiao Zhijin was very similar to Duan Zhishen in appearance, his temperament and temperament were completely different. At first glance, he looked like a smooth and deep orthodox successor. He nodded and smiled when he came up, "I have admired your son's name for a long time."

"Don't dare, His Royal Highness is famous."

"Not much gossip, I have called you here this time because I have important matters to discuss in detail." Xiao Ning said, "The place you are in is different from the outside world. It is a secret place of the royal family of Mu Kingdom. Only the past dynasties can confirm it. Only good heirs can step in. Ting Su was an exception back then, and you are added this time... I hope I saw the right person."

Chu Qi said respectfully: "Thank you, Queen, for your trust. I have told Ting Su about a lot of news. Cheng Qiushi, the leader of the Xiwan Wu Clan, has similar abilities to ours, but he has also mastered the method of refining monsters. How did he achieve it? I don't know, but now his monster army and Xiwan troops are taking advantage of Beiyong's civil strife to gradually invade and erode, and he does have the ambition and ambition to dominate the world. Nam."

"Anyone can say big words, and anyone can dream daydreams. My country, Mu, has always been indifferent to the world. It's not because I can't fight, but on the contrary. Who dares to fight? What's more, with the Xiwan Wu clan How many Beiyong elite soldiers can those crooked melons and split dates beat? I want to wait and see." Xiao Ning lightly sneered at the corners of her lips, "But then again, I want to ask Dong Cheng back. With malicious intentions, you suddenly attacked the border of your Cheng country, causing King Jing to die in battle, and now he has turned his spearhead and approached Beiyong, why did Dong Cheng not only fail to join forces to fight against the enemy, but instead frequently heard news of his upcoming marriage?"

Ting Su looked at him from the side, and said coldly: "Who is Cheng Qiushi bound?"

Chu Qi closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "...I'm not sure."

This is also something he dare not think about and has been subconsciously ignoring.But the answer to this question alone may completely change the attitude of everyone in Nanmu.

Xiao Zhijin had never heard of the star-making system. Hearing them talk about "binding" and "ability" at this time was a bit cloudy, but he didn't directly express his doubts in his heart, but based on the existing information, A deduction was made: "No matter who it is, once Xiwan forms an alliance with Dongcheng, it will be very detrimental to us and Beiyong. We should make plans as soon as possible."

Ting Su said softly: "Naturally, preparations will be made early, but if you want to express your position now... Maybe you have to look at it again."

The implication is to wait for an opportunity, but this is equivalent to no answer.

Chu Qi was quiet, and said: "I have come here this time, there is actually one more important thing. I mentioned earlier that Cheng Qiu picked up monsters, but it's not that he didn't know anything about his methods. What he used was actually 'Yin and Yang blood'. If the Xiwan royal family is bled and soaked in the rest of the animals, there is a very small chance of mutation..."

He paused, glanced at the livid faces of the three, and continued: "To tell you the truth, one of the five people who followed me to the south was Xiwan Prince Teng Wu, and he told me that. Now except for him Other than that, few of the other royal sons survived."

Xiao Ning looked at Ting Su subconsciously, Ting Su's lips trembled, and she was instantly annoyed: "Of course I haven't heard of it, and I can't do it."

"Tingsu won't know, because I suspect that this is the 'Yin-Yang Order' that Cheng Qiu Shizang has and is guarded by Xiwan." Chu Qi narrowed his eyes, "Each of the six ancient countries has a copy, and our 'follow-up' Task' related, I still have two other copies in my hand, I want to exchange Nanmu's 'Yin-Yang Order'."

Xiao Ning's face instantly turned to ice, it was one thing to let Chu Qi come here, but she hadn't even told the prince about the order of yin and yang.

She said grimly: "These are the biggest secrets of the imperial power in various countries. Where did you get them? How can I judge the truth? Besides, what is the use of knowing it? I have no intention of caring about these regulations that have been handed down thousands of years ago." , The rise and fall of the countries, the ups and downs depend on the monarchy, so it is possible that because of the ancient prophecy, they are counting on the protection of the holy beast!"

Chu Qi was keenly aware of a flaw: "Nanmu often has festivals and ceremonies, and the worship of gods is far more frequent than other countries. Not to mention, which of the many statues outside is not Nanmu's famous god? But listen to your majesty, It seems that I don't believe it? What is the meaning of the so-called ancient prophecy? Could it be..." His eyes swept over Xiao Zhijin.

Xiao Ning was furious at his back-talking, she suddenly threw up her sleeves to criticize, but fortunately Ting Su stopped her, so Chu Qi had a chance to say again: "As for what I said is true or false, Ting Su can completely judge." He turned to Ting Su Pointing to the forehead, meaning that if it is correct, the star-making system in his mind will give points.

Ting Su reacted quickly, and changed her mind in an instant.

The benefit of exchanging information far outweighs the harm for her, and now her unlocking progress of the follow-up mission has reached 85%. Development points, since Chu Qi is willing to share the information, maybe she can take this opportunity to directly unlock the follow-up tasks, not to mention their so-called "yin-yang order"...

After thinking about this point, Ting Su whispered to Xiao Ning: "Let's listen to the value he said first."

Seeing that Tingsu was moved by his proposal, Chu Qi struck while the iron was hot and said, "The reason why I got a lot of news comes from such a 'yin-yang order': the blood of yin and yang attracts each other, and when they are scattered in the world, they will also They met miraculously due to various reasons. For people of the same blood, there is a natural feeling of closeness."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Ting Su's reaction. Although Ting Su's expression was deliberately concealed, the momentary blankness and the curvature of the corner of her mouth still couldn't conceal her joy that she had obtained development points.

Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhijin naturally also discovered this.

The queen calmed down, and said solemnly after hearing the words: "This order means..."

Chu Xi said: "That's why I met Xiao Duan."

"..."

Xiao Ning fell into a long silence. Prince Xiao Zhijin didn't know what he was referring to, but he seemed to have a premonition. His eyes towards the Queen changed instantly. He opened his mouth, but he still didn't express the doubt in his heart.

Xiao Ning slowly walked up the steps of the altar, looked up at the statue of Suzaku in the middle, and spoke after a long time: "Nanmu's yin and yang order... It's nothing to say, even I don't know what it is. After so many years, the original The words have been repeatedly interpreted several times, but the situation created is getting worse..."

She sighed heavily: "One of them: the root cause of the chaos of yin and yang is a pair of people who fell to the ground one after another, but the hope of the reappearance of yin and yang also comes from a pair of people who fell to the ground one after another."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the correct information. You will be rewarded with 5 development points. The unlocking progress of the mission 'Rise of the Shadow of the Taiyin' has been increased. The current unlocking level is 60%."

Chu Qi was startled, and suddenly said: "Is this the reason why Nan Mu regards the twins as unlucky?"

"This is the atmosphere of Nanmu for thousands of years, and it is difficult for me to change it. Although it has eased later, because of the late emperor, it is quite turbulent." She closed her eyes and recalled the unbearable past, "Actually, from ancient times to the present. , the ancestors of the Xiao family have always had disputes, they strictly forbid the occurrence of twins in the whole country, but they don't know whether the root cause of the twins has appeared in Mu country, and whether it has already appeared, if the restrictions continue, will it kill the hope of the reappearance of yin and yang instead."

Chu Qi pondered: "But this passage...doesn't seem to refer specifically to twins."

"Having said that, only twins are easy to restrict, and the rules are also set by the ancestors." She seemed not to want to talk anymore, rubbed the center of her brows wearily, and walked down holding Xiao Zhijin's arm.

Ting Su looked at her follow-up task with 95% unlocking progress and smiled, and couldn't wait to ask: "What about the other Yin-Yang order?"

Chu Qi glanced at her, and said: "This other... I'm sorry I can't tell you the truth, but it's another purpose for me to come to Nanmu. I heard that there is a magical weapon hidden in Nanmu, and only Only by obtaining it can we end the troubled times.”

He suppressed part of the content, and only spoke vaguely. Seeing that his unlocking progress had not increased, Ting Su couldn't help but speak a little harder: "Then I can't confirm the truth of what you said."

"I don't need to confirm this. I don't believe that Her Majesty the Queen has never heard of this rumor." According to Lan Ningbing, rumors about the treasures spread around after the disappearance of the ancient Qilin country. Observe, and perhaps even know exactly where.

He looked at the queen: "The royal family of Nanmu has abided by the order of yin and yang for thousands of years, because they are afraid that the disorder of yin and yang will bring about a chaotic world. I don't know if it is considered disorder now... But the ancient kingdoms of unicorn, green dragon, and snake have been annihilated one after another. The Xiwan royal family exists in name only, and Beiyong is also in chaos. I am not an alarmist, but... Is there really nothing abnormal in Nanmu? If the world is in chaos, can Nanmu really keep it eternally pure?"
