Chapter 389 The 4th Listening
Chapter 389 The Fourth Listening (Monthly Ticket Plus 10)
hum~
On the wooden scroll of listening, various lights flickered and the words kept changing like a waterfall.
"I heard that a thousand years ago, there was a riot in the Divine Capital. The riot started in the imperial city, and fires fell from the sky from time to time. The imperial city was almost in ruins. According to historical records, the assassination of the king in the Star-Picking Tower began from then on, and it has been a thousand years since then..."
"There is a longevity elixir in the Qinglong Pavilion. There are many people who are eyeing it, but it is rarely circulated. The thief Mo Yinke has been planning for more than ten years and hiding in the Qinglong Pavilion. He wants to take advantage of the Qinglong Pavilion and Tianshezi going down the mountain to participate in the martial arts performance to steal it..."
"Li Yun, the imperial censor, listed ten major crimes against King Zhenwu, causing a stir in the court..."
"A minor official from the border town of Youzhou was accepted as a disciple by Pei Xingkong of Yiqi Villa because of his outstanding talent..."
……
Before falling asleep, Li Yuan listened to music as usual. This had become his habit before going to bed.
By picking and choosing from them, you can find some useful information.
"Life-extending elixir!"
Li Yuan was surprised. It was the first time he heard of such elixir. Moreover, a thief more daring than Sikong Xing appeared.
"To be able to sneak into Qinglong Pavilion for more than ten years, you must be very brave and skilled. No wonder you are ranked in the top three on the list of thieves."
Li Yuan had memorized the list of thieves a long time ago, so he naturally knew Mo Yinke, who was a top thief, ranking much higher than Sikong Xing.
He immediately kept this in mind.
hum~
Wisps of incense floated into the wooden scroll of listening to sounds, but most of them were of the first level.
During this period, Liu Zheng collected a lot of incense burners. Although there were no high-level incense burners, there were quite a few first- and second-level ones, which were more than enough for him to listen to the music.
"Jin Zhufeng, a famous detective from the Jingping Division, chased for thousands of miles and found the whereabouts of the master thief Sikong Xing. At the critical moment, the master thief Yun Zhaiyue came to help..."
Good guy.
Li Yuan was shocked. After a month, he actually heard the follow-up.
"If he can escape, Sikong Xing's ranking on the thief list will rise a lot."
The information from the Listening to Sound Wooden Talisman was very random, and it took Li Yuan more than a month to hear any information about Sikong Xing.
Compared to his own dull life, this thief had a colorful life. He fought against colleagues, famous detectives, and traveled thousands of miles.
"There is too little useful intelligence."
Li Yuan took a while to digest it. He had hardly used the fourth-level incense in all these days and was really reluctant to do so.
"Use the number of times you have listened to the heavenly music."
Li Yuan had wanted to use it last night, and after a day's delay, he still decided to use it.
After all, the promotion of Palm Sound Talisman did not rank high in his mind, and he was really reluctant to give up the two hundred fourth-level incense sticks.
"Listen to the heavenly sound."
hum~
In the space where the soldiers were in control, a bright light suddenly shone.
Li Yuan only felt his body lighten, and in a flash, his soul left his body, passed through the roof, and drifted along a path in the dark, like a wisp of cold wind.
In just a moment, Li Yuan felt that he was above the sea of clouds. He looked down and the Longhu Mountains were no longer visible.
Call ~
Then, he felt the light and shadows interweaving around him, enveloping him.
……
When~
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yuan heard a dull bell and came back to his senses from his trance.
"here it is……"
Li Yuan looked around and found himself on a high platform. Clouds and mist were rolling, and the wind was blowing the flags.
"There are infinitely higher skies beyond the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars rotate; there are mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon move, there are people beyond people, which mountain is the highest..."
Li Yuan glanced at the fluttering flags, walked to the railing and looked down.
I saw a cloud ladder circling like a dragon on the high platform, winding for who knows how many feet. Under the clouds, there was a majestic city.
There are clusters of palaces and various buildings scattered in an orderly manner, with this high platform as the center, spreading out to an unknown distance. Looking from a high place, one can't even see the end.
"This is, the Great Fortune Divine Capital?"
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw a wooden plaque hanging high in the air. On it was the word "Observatory". Each word was vigorous and powerful, like a coiled dragon.
"Dayun Observatory!"
Li Yuan just glanced over and was attracted by an object hanging higher.
It was a dark yellow copper bell.
The bronze bell is so large that it can cover an entire house. The body of the bell is covered with mottled marks, which seem to be caused by wind and rain, or various vague mysterious lines.
Just by looking up, Li Yuan felt a heavy, vast and thick feeling coming towards him.
[Great Sun Golden Scale Bell (Eleventh Level)]
【? ? ? 】
【? ? ? 】
Li Yuan's figure was as fast as the wind, floating for more than ten meters before a dark light flashed before his eyes.
This bell is one of the four Tianyun Xuanbing of the imperial court. According to legend, it was obtained by Pang Wenlong, the founder of Dayun, in his later years and it has been passed down from generation to generation as a national treasure!
“Just hang here.”
Li Yuan felt a little jealous, but his state was not right at the moment. He was floating and weak, and he couldn't get close at all, as if he was restrained by an invisible force.
"The sound I just heard came from this bell, right?"
Li Yuan landed on the high platform. The Dayun court had made a big move. This wooden platform, which was at least 3,000 meters high, was hundreds of meters in radius.
It is like a giant pillar standing in the center of the imperial city and the divine capital, with a sense of suppressing destiny.
"somebody is coming."
Li Yuan looked around, mainly the imperial city under the high platform. After a while, he heard a sound of breaking air, and he looked intently.
I saw several figures jumping up from the ground and climbing up at an extremely fast speed. After a while, they had jumped onto the platform.
There were seven people in total, three men and four women, all dressed elegantly, some carrying swords, and some with empty hands. The only thing they had in common was their silver hair.
"It's strange. Pang Wenlong has black hair and black eyes, but why do all his descendants have silver hair?"
Li Yuan thought of Pang Wenlong whom he had seen when listening to the music before. There should not be any trace of him on the people in front of him.
"Ninth Brother, it's your turn to ring the bell this time."
The youngest woman urged with a chuckle, while the oldest youth frowned slightly:
"It takes most of my energy to ring the Golden Scale Bell once, so I should wait for the others."
"Who knows when they'll come? If you don't knock, I will!"
The woman was impatient. She stepped lightly and flew up more than a hundred meters. She raised her hand and clenched her fist. Flames burst out. Her true energy turned into a fire phoenix and penetrated the remaining distance and hit the bronze bell.
"Jinlinmen, the princess is here!"
"when!"
The majestic bell rang out, and dazzling golden light flowed down like a waterfall.
In the blink of an eye, the seven people on the platform disappeared. Li Yuan moved forward, but when the golden light faded, he remained where he was.
"..."
I can't get in.
Li Yuan was speechless. He wanted to go and take a look.
"It seems that the sound we want to listen to this time is not inside the clock..."
Li Yuan was a little disappointed. He walked around the platform. After a while, a few more people came on stage. After a while, a few more people came on stage.
In total, six groups of people came, of different ages. The only thing they had in common was their silver hair.
"They say the royal family doesn't have many people, but this is quite a lot, right?"
After the sixth wave of people went in, Li Yuan waited for a long time before someone came.
He was a middle-aged man in a black robe with an unusual appearance and elegant manners, his hair tied behind his back, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, and, um, black hair.
【Meteorite White Tiger Sword (Level 9)】
【? ? ? 】
【? ? ? 】
The ultimate magic weapon!
The weapon's light was dazzling, but just like the previous times, only its name could be seen, not any information. Li Yuan didn't care.
After looking him up and down, he recognized the identity of this middle-aged man.
"Grandmaster of the Divine List, Master of the Imperial Astronomical Observation, and Imperial Teacher of the current dynasty, Wu Yingxing!"
This thought just flashed through Li Yuan's mind, but he saw the imperial teacher slightly bowing to him, which frightened him so much that his heart trembled. Then he realized that this was not a salute to him.
"Your Majesty!" Wu Yingxing bowed in greeting.
Emperor Qian?
Li Yuan turned around and saw a tall middle-aged man standing by the railing, seemingly overlooking the imperial city.
"Emperor."
Li Yuan became excited. This was the first time he had seen this kind of profession in his past and present lives. He immediately went over to take a look.
He wore a yellow robe and had silver hair, with a dragon-shaped vertical pattern between his eyebrows, which gave him an aura of majesty without even showing any anger.
Well, there are no magic weapons.
Master Li Dao commented in his heart.
"Master Wu, is there any news about the spirit turtle carrying the palace?"
Emperor Qian asked.
"Your Majesty, the old turtle seems to have some rare treasure on it. It is difficult to see where it is. We can only vaguely know its general direction. It should be heading towards the North Sea."
Wu Yingxing replied: "A few days ago, King Zhenwu sent a letter to ask about this."
The turtle carrying the palace?
Li Yuan listened attentively.
"North Sea."
Emperor Qian repeated, "Master Wu, if I remember correctly, there is a sea dragon in the North Sea?"
"The Azure Dragon of the North Sea is said to have disappeared for many years. Your Majesty, do you think that this old turtle went north to capture this dragon?"
Wu Yingxing frowned slightly.
"North Sea Blue Dragon?"
Li Yuan heard something familiar. In order to find out the origin of the tiger cub, he had read many books about spiritual beasts.
Yunshu Tower divides spirit beasts into three levels, but the North Sea Azure Dragon is not one of them. It is a divine beast-level existence. According to legend, a great master once died in its mouth...
"I have read in an ancient book that this level of spiritual beast is most favored by the outer gods. The old turtle may want to use it as a sacrifice to cross the Nine Layers of the Strong Wind Heaven..."
Emperor Qian spoke.
"Ancient book?"
Wu Yingxing's heart was slightly moved: "I wonder which ancient book your majesty is talking about?"
"Master Wu has been in seclusion for eight years. I don't know that three years ago, I broke through the final test of the Golden Scale Sect..."
Emperor Qian shook his sleeves and took out an ancient animal-skin book:
"This ancient book is the reward."
Li Yuan leaned in very close, and saw the familiar Sea-Splitting Divine Text at a glance, which roughly meant "Sacrifice to the Gods...Chapter"?
"The reward for the final trial..."
Li Yuan did not bother to be surprised that the Great Fortune Emperor actually broke through the final trial. He quickly memorized the unfamiliar Sea-Splitting Divine Text on the homepage.
Then he moved closer to Wu Yingxing, followed him to turn the pages, and wrote down everything without caring what was written on them.
But unfortunately, he didn't turn a few pages.
"Outer Gods, blood sacrifice..."
Wu Yingxing flipped through it casually and closed it, frowning: "Your Majesty, do you think the records in this ancient book are true?"
“There are always people who are better than you, and there are always gods who are better than you. It’s not surprising.”
Emperor Qian glanced at Wu Yingxing calmly:
"Master Wu, have you forgotten the Thousand Spirits Master?"
"The world beyond the sky is ultimately illusory."
Wu Yingxing shook his head:
"I use secret methods to observe the stars, and sometimes I can see through the Nine-Layered Sky of Gale Winds, but apart from the stars, I have never seen anything beyond the sky, let alone the land and the sea."
Emperor Qian did not refute, but felt a little regretful:
"Unfortunately, the depths of the Xuanbing can only be reached by defeating the final trial, otherwise I would definitely take Master Wu to take a look..."
"What is in the deepest part of Xuanbing?"
Wu Yingxing asked.
"Hard to say."
Emperor Qian shook his head.
Wu Yingxing frowned slightly and asked, "Is it related to the Bafang Temple? Are there any records about Tianwaitian?"
"Yes and no."
Emperor Qian's words were ambiguous, and he didn't seem to want to speak directly. After a perfunctory remark, he changed the subject:
"Master Wu, besides the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace, is there any other method in this world that can wash away one's cultivation?"
"Wash away your cultivation?"
Not to mention Wu Yingxing, even Li Yuan was shocked.
Although he couldn't see the cultivation level of Emperor Qian, he was able to break through the final test of the Ruins Sect, which meant he was at least a top master of the Tiangang Realm.
This……
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Wu Yingxing was somewhat surprised and doubtful. A lot seemed to have happened during the eight years he had been in seclusion. The Emperor Qian in front of him was a little difficult for him to understand.
"Because it's the deepest part of the Xuanbing?"
"Ah."
Emperor Qian nodded, without hiding anything:
"The Eight Directions Temple does exist in the world, but it is difficult to reach. Zhuliu wants to control multiple mysterious weapons and forcibly break the restrictions, but I think we should follow the rules."
"rule?"
Wu Yingxing became more and more confused: "What rules?"
"The rules of the trial."
Emperor Qian did not answer.
Wu Yingxing hesitated for a moment and replied, "It is said that the Changhong Yiqi Sword has similar means, but it is said to have consequences..."
Click~
Li Yuan was listening intently when he suddenly heard a cracking sound. In a moment, the light and shadows in front of him disappeared.
……
……
call!
It was like falling from the clouds into the abyss in an instant. The strong feeling of weightlessness made Li Yuan feel a little uncomfortable.
Inside the house, he took a few deep breaths before he came to his senses from the discomfort. The little tiger cub looked up and glanced at him, feeling vaguely that something was strange, but didn't notice what was wrong.
"Rules...what rules?"
Li Yuan was a little dazed.
There was too much information heard from Tianyin this time. It took him a long time to digest it and make sure nothing was missed. Then he closed his eyes and sensed the Listening to Sound Wooden Scroll.
There were various words interwoven on it, and a dull and rigid voice echoed in my ears:
[On the Dayun Observatory, there hangs a Great Sun Golden Scale Bell. Every few months, the royal family members would enter it for trials. This has been going on for nearly a thousand years...]
[In the deepest part of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Army, there is something suspected to be related to the Eight Directions Temple... Someone is deeply eager for it and is willing to pay a huge price for it...]
[Silver hair and dragon pattern, the royal family is not prosperous, and many people die young in each generation, but they are all martial arts geniuses...]
[The Dragon Turtle behind the Palace seems to be looking for something...]
[The Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace and the Changhong Yiqi Sword both have the power to destroy one's merits and start over...]
……
Various texts circulate and change.
Li Yuan compared and recalled the information he had heard before, and his heart was deeply touched.
Who is Emperor Qian?
Even without taking into account his status and position, to be able to pass the final trial of the Golden Scale Sect, no matter what means he used, he must be at least a top master, or even a grand master.
"The rules that will make him start over again, the rules of the trial..."
Li Yuan murmured in his heart, and suddenly remembered the Dragon Demon Taoist he saw when he listened to the sound before, and he seemed to understand something in his heart:
"Talent?!"
