Chapter 22: All the heroes have risen to the eternal pearl

In the 24th year of Tianxi, October, Yongguo was destroyed.

King Sheng was overjoyed and rewarded the three armies. The secret spies reported that the national treasure of Yongguo, Yongming Pearl, was one of the twenty-seven fragments of the Heavenly Book. Even if you were to search for it at all costs.

...

...

Duanhua City, Yinwang Palace, Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Yun Wei of the Yin Dynasty was sitting on the dragon throne from a high place, and below there was a man in a black crown and wearing Gong Bo's indigo dress kneeling on one knee to wait for the emperor's orders.

"I received a secret report. Yongguo, which was just destroyed by Shengguo, has a Yongming pearl, which is one of the twenty-seven fragments of the Heavenly Book. I asked you to set off for searching immediately. Nanqing, you have never let me down, I hope this time will be too."

"I obey the order." The man stood up and bowed again. He turned around and stepped out of the Qinzheng Hall with a round face, a tall nose, clear eyebrows, slender figure, and an agate jade pendant hanging around his waist. Although his expressionless face gave people an aggressive sense of alienation, it still led countless palace maids to bow their backs. Every time he entered the palace, he would attract many palace maids to visit from afar. He was the great disciple of the sword ghost, who fought against Nan Di, who fought with one hundred disciples of Xuanyuan Pavilion with one person five years ago.

...

...

Duanhua City, Yongxiang Street.

"I finally come to Duanhuacheng! So happy!" The girl's white and sweet face gently raised her face, closed her eyes, her mouth slightly raised, her long black and thick hair hanging behind her back, and only a delicately crafted white jade beaded hairpin was inserted on her simple bun, she was wearing a dress with a velvet, and a beautiful agate jade pendant tied around her waist. She held a sword wrapped in gray cloth strips with slightly opened hands, as if she was enjoying the unique atmosphere of Duanhuacheng.

"Go! Get out of here!" An incompatible voice came into the girl's ears, and a pair of clear eyes suddenly opened. What caught my eye was seven men riding horses galloping from a distance, and the girl hurriedly hurriedly hid to the side. In an instant, seven horses roared past, and the riders on the horse's back were all agile figures, especially the leading man in indigo costume. His cool and heroic posture attracted the girl's attention and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Aunt, can I ask, who are the people who just rode away?" the girl asked curiously to the woman selling vegetables at the stall next to her.

"A girl is a foreigner?" When the woman heard the girl's question, she first suggested that the girl should be a foreigner.

"Well, I just came to Duanhuacheng today." The girl nodded.

"No wonder you didn't know. The leading rider just now was the most powerful Lord Gong Bonan Dinan around the emperor!" The woman introduced to the girl very proudly.

"Nan Di?" The girl was stunned and hurriedly looked in the direction where the horse had just gone, but she had disappeared. Nan Di? It's the big brother!

"What are you looking at? You're so fascinated!" A young man with a half-haired hair and a moon-white dress suddenly stuck his head next to the girl.

"Ah! Why? I was scared, Brother Liancheng." The girl puffed up her cheeks and complained.

"I should ask you this?" The young man called Liancheng stood up straight, with his hands wrapped around his chest and looked serious, "If I am not careful, you will run away. If there is anything, how can you explain to your father if you ask me to go back?"

"I finally went out, can I not mention my father?" When the girl thought of her father's endless explanation before going out, she felt a little bored, and she still bulged her cheeks and turned her head, not to mention how cute she was.

"Okay, then I'll take you to have something delicious? Longyue." Wei Liancheng looked at Longyue's cute appearance, and couldn't help but raise his hand and poke Wei Longyue's bulging cheeks with his fingers, looking doting.

"Okay." Wei Longyue stopped and showed a sweet smile.

The two came to a restaurant with endless guests. The large plaque was covered with three big words "Aoxianju".

"Shopkeeper, are there any empty seats?" Wei Liancheng took Wei Longyue to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper who was settled the accounts heard the inquiry, looked up at the two people in front of him. Seeing that they were dressed in bright clothes, they must be rich families. He quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes! There is the last elegant seat upstairs. Waiter, take two guests to the elegant seat!"

"Yes." Hearing the summons, a waiter immediately led the way for Liancheng and Longyue, "Two guests, please come here."

"Yeah." Lian Cheng nodded and followed the waiter upstairs, "Longyue, go."

"good."

After taking the seat, the waiter first poured a cup of tea for Liancheng and Longyue.

"It's the first time you're here. We're a 20-year-old brand. We must try our Aoxianju's signature - shrimp swelling eel back." The waiter began to recommend dishes to Liancheng and Longyue.

"Oh? That must be something to try. Longyue, what do you think?" Lian Cheng nodded in agreement and asked Longyue opposite for comments.

"Okay. By the way, waiter, do you have any signature snacks? Let me give you two of them, and then you can come with two signature snacks from you." Wei Longyue said she was more interested in dim sum.

"Of course there are. Please wait." The waiter happily bowed to Liancheng and Longyue and then left the room.

Not long after, the waiter brought the dishes into the room again, and the whole table was filled with it. It was beautiful in color and fragrant.

The two of them couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks and taste them.

"M--" Wei Longyue nodded while eating, "It's so delicious."

"Customer, it is our unique skill in the chef's chef - Mandarin duck mung bean cake." The waiter pointed to a plate of exquisite mung bean cakes and recommended it to Wei Longyue.

"Well." Wei Longyue reached out to pick up a piece and took a bite. But when she took it, she became a little abnormal. Why is the taste so familiar? I always feel that I have eaten it, and I can't help but be stunned. Tears in my eyes unconsciously shed, "What's wrong with me?" Longyue couldn't help but touch the tears on her face. She was obviously not sad, but she just felt an endless sense of nostalgia.

"Longyue, what's wrong with you?" Wei Liancheng hurried to her side to ask, and helped her wipe her tears.

"Customer, but it tastes bad?" Faced with Wei Longyue's tears, the waiter was a little at a loss.

"No, the taste is very good. But I think it's so missed. I always feel like I've eaten it before, but I can't remember it." Wei Longyue was very familiar with it, and always felt that there was a picture about to appear in her mind, but it suddenly came to an abrupt end.

"Have you eaten by the guest?"

"I don't remember, thank you." Wei Longyue nodded to the waiter.

"Then I won't bother you anymore, please use it slowly." As he said that, the waiter left the room.

"Longyue, are you really okay?" Wei Liancheng was still a little worried and picked up the mung bean cake and tasted it. "Have you eaten this snack?"

"I don't know, I didn't remember." Wei Longyue shook her head.

"When you were sick when you were a child, you didn't remember the memories of your previous ones very much. But I didn't remember the events of your childhood." Wei Liancheng said as he tasted the snacks.

"I don't know. Forget it, it's not a big deal. If you don't think about it, it's a headache if you think too much." Wei Longyue said that she no longer thought about it, it's not a big deal anyway.

...

...

That night, a man with a burly figure and silver ring on his left ear walked into a secret room set on the rockery in the courtyard under the guidance of a subordinate in the mansion. He was wearing a pale coarse linen linen, with two scars on his exposed arms, and his weather-beaten face told his unsatisfactory life.

"See the lord." The man who was taken into the secret room by his subordinates bowed to one knee.

"Zhiyi, I asked you to live in the frontier for the past two years. Do you have any resentment from me?" A man in gorgeous clothes and human-shaped mask sat under the plaque with the word "honor".

"I don't dare." Zhiyi lowered his head and responded.

"You are one of the four-syllable hall masters of Beihuang City and have a very high status. When you come to me, I demoted you to the frontier. Don't you really hate me?" The masked man looked down at Zhiyi on the ground, his tone was very majestic.

"It was because my subordinates were not doing things well, and they failed to steal fragments of the heavenly book from Beihuang City that disappointed the lord. It was because my subordinates were willing to be punished." Zhiyi knelt on the ground with both knees.

"Why would you like if I told you that there is a chance to give you a punishment now?"

"Thank you, lord, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"I have received the news that Yongguo, which had just lost his country, has a Yongming pearl, which is one of the twenty-seven fragments of the Heavenly Book. I want you to find it for me!"

"Yes!" Zhengyi bowed his hands and said yes.

"There is a secret report. The emperor has sent Nan Di to Yongguo to find it. If you secretly follow Nan Di, be sure to seize the Yongming Pearl first. However, the swordsman Nan Di is not that easy to deal with. You should give everything a fragment of the Heavenly Book as the priority!"

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

...

...

Beihuang City, Diqiu Palace, Zhongji Hall.

"I am paying homage to the Black Emperor." Ling Guang, wearing a red dress, knelt on one knee in front of his chest.

"Here I'm back." The black emperor Zhuanxu was in the upper position in a luxurious black robe, "How?"

"I originally visited the Zen Temple at night as planned, but was accidentally involved in the Zen case. Moreover, this matter also involved the Northern Wilderness. I don't know who was so bold that he dared to pretend to be me and attack Zen to provoke our relationship with Zen. I was afraid that the matter would be more complicated, so I decided to cancel the task without authorization and asked the Black Emperor to punish him." Ling Guang lowered his head and maintained his previous posture.

"I understand. While receiving your reward, I have received the letter from the Third Patriarch of Zen. Get up." Zhuanxu was not angry at Ling Guang's unauthorized decision.

"Thank you, Hei Emperor!"

"I dare to provoke the relationship between my Northern Wilderness and Zen Buddhism. This person is definitely not simple. You go and check it carefully. Let's put the task this time on the spot."

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

"By the way, I received a secret report, and the traitor Zhiyi has returned to Duanhua City. The 'happy' Tiyan has been thinking about the twenty-seven fragments of the Heavenly Book. Now that Yongguo is destroyed, Yongmingzhu is left among the people, Zhiyi is probably coming back this time to steal Yongmingzhu. Lingguang, you send an order to Zhiming to prepare her to capture the traitor and seize the Yongmingzhu in Shengguo!" When he thought that Zhiyi rebelled that time, not only caused a severe blow to Beihuang City, but also almost lost the fragments of the Heavenly Book, Zhuanxu was very angry and ordered Zhiming to capture Zhiyi and clean up the portal.

"Zhi Ming?" Ling Guang was stunned, and Zhi Ming was the only one who was afraid it was a little difficult.

"What's wrong?" Zhuanxu discovered Ling Guang's hesitation, "Are you afraid that Zhiming doesn't have this ability?"

"No, I'll send the order now."

"Well, by the way, Xuanxing is about to come out of seclusion. You go and greet him and tell him that I have something to look for him."

"yes!"
