Listen to the king's order

Lu Ming had a dream.

In the dream, there were countless shadows of swords, lights and swords, screams filled his ears, the sky was scorching with flames burning his clothes, and the frost on his hands made him feel chills all over his body.

A tall and tall man walked out of the flames, the man's white clothes were curled with flames, and his jade-like face had a cold expression.He had an aggressive aura, and he looked at Lu Ming with unconcealable disgust.

Lu Ming was so startled by this look that his heart shivered, and he took a step back unconsciously.

When the man saw the Yinshuang flute in Lu Ming's hand, his disgusted eyes became a little sharper.He stepped forward in two steps, and snatched Yinshuangdi with one force.

Lu Ming saw that he wanted to grab his Yinshuang flute, so he subconsciously reached for it: "Master, you gave it to me."

Jiang Qichen turned sideways without letting Lu Ming touch his sleeves.Lu Ming froze in place.

"You also use Yinshuang?" Jiang Qichen's face was full of sarcasm, and Yinshuang Huajian pointed at his chest.

"You think so much about me? It's disgusting." The cruel words fell mercilessly, and the sword in his hand sank into Lu Ming's body without hesitation.

"No..." he murmured, his blood was immediately stained with Yinshuang, and the hole in his chest was filled with the biting chill brought by Yinshuang.

Lu Ming clutched the wound on his chest, and lay powerlessly at Jiang Qichen's feet.He stretched out his blood-stained hand tremblingly, and barely stopped in front of the man's snow-white clothes.

He is so filthy, how can he be blasphemed?

The surrounding fire was getting bigger and bigger, and screams rang out in Lu Ming's ears one after another.One figure after another fell in front of him, and the spreading flame finally engulfed the white figure.

"No..." Lu Ming shouted weakly.

But the last thing that person left him was the extremely disgusted expression. He glanced contemptuously at Lu Ming who was on the ground, threw the Yinshuang Sword on the ground like throwing garbage, and then rushed towards the sky-filled sky without looking back. fire.

"do not want!"

Lu Ming in the dream let out a terrified roar, Lu Ming only felt his whole body was sore and weak, and he couldn't lift his arm due to the pain on his shoulder.

He frowned, and slowly opened his eyes.

As if he hadn't woken up from the nightmare, Lu Ming looked at Jiang Qichen who was sitting next to him in a daze. The man was still holding a white handkerchief.Lu Ming's temple hair was wet with sweat, sticking to the side of his face scatteredly, adding a bit of weakness to his usual cold face.

"Are you awake?" Lu Ming was having a high fever, and Jiang Qichen was holding a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on his forehead. When he saw him wake up, he asked, but his movements didn't stop.

Lu Ming was still immersed in Jiang Qichen's eyes that made him heartbroken in his dream. For a while, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. He felt that the person in front of him hated him and loathed him.Seeing his hand approaching him, he shrank back subconsciously.

This move brought the injury on his shoulder, and Lu Ming gasped in pain.

Jiang Qichen's hand holding the handkerchief barely stopped in mid-air, his face showed a bit of sullenness, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't move."

Then, one hand gently pressed Lu Ming's arm, and the other hand forcefully wiped the sweat off his face.

"Master?" Lu Ming called out tentatively, the pain woke him up for the most part.

"En." Jiang Qichen replied softly, let go of the hand that restrained Lu Ming, put the towel in the basin beside him and washed it, and said, "What did you dream about? I'm afraid it will be like that."

One sentence hit Lu Ming's sore spot. He was shocked immediately, his face turned pale again, and he looked away guiltily, not daring to look at Jiang Qichen again.

Only then did he realize that he was lying on a small couch. Lu Ming tilted his head and looked to the side, looked around and asked, "Master, where is this?"

Just after Jiang Qichen washed the towel, he held it up to Lu Ming's face, but Lu Ming stopped him, "Master, I'll do it myself."

Jiang Qichen simply withdrew his hand, pointed to the incense burner in the middle of the room, and said, "It should be Xin Zhiyuan's practice room. Not only that, the heads of the four great families should have practiced something here. There are four futons on the ground over there." , with the surnames of the four great families embroidered on it. However, even if you have practiced anything, it is more than ten years ago." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "When you fell asleep just now, I looked around One time. There is a courtyard connected to this place, and besides this room, there are several guest rooms. This place should be in the depths of Dongchen Peach Blossom Forest, near the foot of Wushan Mountain."

"Wushan? That's the border of Nanchen." Lu Ming was a little surprised. They were originally in the underground of Xinzhiyuan's house in Dongchen. How could they appear on the border of the two places?The Xin family's secret path doesn't seem to be that long.

"The Great Dream Realm brought us here." Jiang Qichen stood up from the couch, and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back: "This should be the center of the Great Dream Realm."

When Lu Ming heard this, he lifted the quilt on his body and struggled to get up: "How long have I been lying down? We have been down for a long time, we have to go back quickly..."

Lu Ming's words were interrupted by Jiang Qichen's hand holding him, and he said sharply, "Lie down."

Jiang Qichen's palm was warm, and he just pressed it on Lu Ming's wrist, when the latter pulled away from his hand like an electric shock.

It seemed that he felt that his reaction was a little too aggressive, Lu Ming coughed lightly twice, and lay down obediently.

Jiang Qichen was clearly confused by Lu Ming's reaction, he tucked up the quilt for Lu Ming again with a frown, and said, "I haven't disliked you for being a corpse beast, but you have disliked me first. "

Lu Ming: "..."

"I'm counting the time. It's still one day before the martial arts conference. Besides, it's daytime. Do you think we will fly back to Dongchen like this? How many pairs of eyes are there? It's not too late to leave at night." Jiang Qichen said , put his hand on Lu Ming's bright forehead: "It doesn't seem so hot anymore. Are you hungry? There is a kitchen here, I just cooked some porridge, wait here and don't move."

Lu Ming lay on the bed, looking at Jiang Qichen's hurriedly leaving figure, he put his hand on his forehead in a daze, the difference between reality and dream was too big. Thinking about it, he shivered and shivered. Put your hands back under the covers.

After a while, Jiang Qichen walked in with a white porcelain bowl filled with white millet porridge.He put the porridge on the three-legged table beside the couch, helped Lu Ming up, and put some soft cushions behind him.

Lu Ming drank porridge, and Jiang Qichen told him what happened after he separated from him and how he got him out of the dreamland.

After hearing this, Lu Ming said: "That is to say, the stone chambers on both sides are exactly the same, or more like replicas. No matter which way we go, we will eventually reach the land of the Great Dream."

Jiang Qichen nodded: "There are so many traps, bugs, corpse beasts, and the Great Dreamland along this road. No matter what, if you are not careful, you will die inside. The purpose is to prevent people from discovering this place. So the life talisman should have been placed here in the first place."

Lu Ming bowed his head and pondered for a moment, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he murmured: "Please return the life talisman to its proper place."

"what?"

Lu Ming said: "That day, the day when the Xin family was destroyed, before Hua Wudao left, he said to me, 'Send the life-giving talisman to where it should go'. And when I asked him to give me the life-giving talisman, he also said, 'How can the shadow Do you want to dominate the martial arts world'. That tone is very...?"

"That's right." Jiang Qichen said seriously: "Hua Wudao is a man of great martial arts, erratic, and always lives in seclusion. He learned from the real Xuanyu of the Tianyan sect, and practiced moral skills. Although he later betrayed the Tianyan sect, But the morality exercise is of the same origin as the Mahayana exercise in the pleading talisman, so there is no reason for him to be Pei Tianxiao's lackey. Now it seems that he should have transferred the pleading talisman before Pei Tianxiao took action."

Lu Ming said: "Then, can we rest assured of the whereabouts of the Xin family's death talisman for the time being?"

Jiang Qichen didn't answer him, what they said just now was just speculation.Besides, although Hua Wudao had no motive to help Pei Tianxiao snatch the plea talisman, he also had no obligation to protect the plea talisman.

The ordering talisman is divided into four parts, which have been held by the four great aristocratic families in the east, west, north, south and past dynasties.Only when the four petitions are put together can it work.

100 years ago, evil religions were rampant in Jianghu, especially the Golden Lotus Sect.The exercises taught by Jinlian are extremely sinister and evil, and are called Yin Sha evil skills by later generations.Yin and evil skills are cultivated by sucking and biting people's essence and blood, and the bitten person will lose their minds and become a fierce puppet without five senses.They don't feel pain, so they burned, killed and looted without any scruples, and countless innocent people died at their hands.At that time, in order to prevent the Golden Lotus Sect from continuing to do evil, Xiao Zhengqing, the patriarch of the Tianyan Sect, led the crowd to encircle and suppress the devil, and wiped out the devil.However, he himself was wounded in the war and died soon.He was afraid that after his death, there would be arrests and riots in the rivers and lakes, so he made a pleading talisman and sealed the Mahayana exercises in it.

And set a contract - as soon as the request for life talisman is released, the Mahayana Kung Fu will enter the world, and the five major sects and top ten masters in the world will unconditionally obey orders when they see the request for life talisman.

Since then, some people in the arena have coveted the Mahayana exercises in the life request talisman.In order to protect the fate talisman, and also to prevent people with malicious intentions from vainly trying to obtain Mahayana exercises to harm the martial arts world, Xiao Zhengqing divided the life talisman into four and handed it over to the four great aristocratic families for safekeeping. According to Zong's forbidden technique, Mahayana exercises can only be summoned when the four pieces of prayers are combined together.

Only the heads of the four great aristocratic families know the location where the plea talisman is placed.

"No matter what, Hua Wudao is a breakthrough. He may know something we don't know. After we return to Nanchen, Ming'er, go and search for Hua Wudao's whereabouts."

Lu Ming nodded.

"You take a rest, we'll leave here later. This is the entrance of the formation, you can only see the outside from the inside, you can't find it from the outside. I'll make a mark at the door later, so as not to have to come up from the ground in the future." Jiang Qichen Seeing that Lu Ming's bowl was empty, he took it from his hand and walked out while instructing.Before reaching the door, Jiang Qichen stopped. He stood in front of the door, turned his body slightly, and said, "What did you see in the dream? With your skill, you won't suffer such a serious internal injury."

Lu Ming was shocked when he heard the words, and he frowned suddenly. Those knife lights, screams, blood and fire were like an invisible big hand, strangling his throat.He grabbed his neck unconsciously, trying to pull off the thing that bound him, but he couldn't breathe more and more.But from Jiang Qichen's angle, he couldn't see his reaction.

"It's nothing, it's just something bloody." Lu Ming said hoarsely.
