Chapter 131 Latecomers
"The first person to find Ginjiuji will be the leader of this conference."
Gu Xu silently repeated this sentence in his mind.
Princess Zhaoning revealed very little information in her words.
From this, he only knew that there were monsters in the "Dragon Secret Realm", and the rules were different from those in the outside world, but he didn't know how big it was, how many monsters there were, what the topography was, whether there were any restrictions, and how to find clues...
Everything is unknown and needs to be explored by himself.
"The test set for the monks at the Luoshui Conference is really difficult." Gu Xu secretly complained.
In the past, arena competitions only required a good fight to become the winner.
But the competition in the "Dragon Secret Realm" not only requires the monks to have the ability to fight, but also requires them to explore unfamiliar environments, collect information, and even join forces and play tactics... Those who are not flexible enough will only be able to practice hard.
, will undoubtedly be eliminated.
But Gu Xu was not deterred by this.
On the contrary, he was quite happy to see the change in the format of the Luoshui Conference.
After all, the Luoshui Conference is a gathering of heroes, all of whom are among the best and have extraordinary means.
If it was a one-on-one competition, even if both of them controlled their cultivation at the same level, Gu Xu could not guarantee that he would be undefeated and become the final winner.
But in the "Dragon Secret Realm", he can choose to lurk aside silently, and then come out to pick up the slack when others are both hurt, or he can choose to unite everyone and deal with the strongest and most difficult competitor first, or even more
Use your powerful divination skills to obtain more and more accurate information than others...
Gu Xu has a lot of practical experience. He has solved big cases such as "Lu's Haunted House" and has faced "fierce god" level ghosts face to face... Under such circumstances, people with stronger combat capabilities than him may not be able to
Can beat him.
Unconsciously, the word "astrolabe" came to his mind again.
Although he still doesn't know what an "astrolabe" is or what its purpose is, there has always been a strong desire deep in his heart, driving him to win the title of "Luoshui Conference"
, enter the royal treasury and obtain the "astrology chart".
His intuition told him that if he could get the astrolabe, his strength would improve by leaps and bounds.
"Gu Xu, you have to work harder!" At this moment, Shi Xiaohan who was beside him tugged on his sleeve and said softly to him, "Take that 'Silver Wine Sword' and let them all see how powerful you are.
!”
Since she was petite and slender, her height only reached Gu Xu's shoulders, so she had to stand on tiptoes very hard to get close to Gu Xu's ear.
Shi Xiaohan was also very motivated at this moment.
But she also has some self-awareness - an eighteen-year-old third-level monk with fourth-level qualifications and magical powers such as the "Taotie Seal" may be considered outstanding among everyone, but she is definitely not ranked among Luojing's geniuses.
number.
Therefore, her goal today is to show off her strength to the best of her ability, to let everyone in the capital know about the existence of the character "Shi Nuxia", and to let her father take a good look at the results of her recent hard work on swordsmanship.
If possible, try to help Gu Xu get rid of a few competitors, so that his way to win the championship may become easier.
Gu Xu smiled slightly and gently touched her head.
The girl's black hair is fluffy and soft, as smooth and comfortable to the touch as a cat.
…………
After introducing the rules of this year's "Luoshui Conference", Princess Zhaoning walked along the suspended stairs back to the riverside.
The mechanism of the "Tianlong Formation" operates silently again.
The high platform in the Luo River slowly sank into the water, as if it had never existed.
Afterwards, soldiers from the Royal City Guards walked to the group of participants and handed each monk a jade talisman.
Gu Xu took the jade talisman and took a serious look at it, and found that it was indeed engraved with runes for teleportation spells.
But some details of these runes were slightly different from those he had seen before.
Gu Zhi
Gu Xu guessed that this might be because the "Dragon Secret Realm" and the outside world are two worlds with different rules - if you want to teleport between the two worlds, you must do some special processing of the runes.
At the same time, Princess Zhaoning raised her head and looked at the two saints on the high platform.
Luo Sishou smiled and nodded.
Grand Master Da Qi first glanced in the direction of the palace, and then said seriously: "Then let's get started."
So Princess Zhaoning waved her hand gently.
The seal eunuch of the Da Qi Dynasty came forward from the crowd, bowed to her, and held an exquisitely carved treasure box decorated with gold and silver in his hands and handed it to her.
The princess reached out and took out a square object from the treasure chest.
Made of white jade and intertwined with dragon buttons, it is the jade seal of the Daqi Dynasty.
It is carved from the "Tai'a Sword" and has the aura of the "Tai'a Sword". It can call upon the power of the "Tianlong Formation" and can also open or close the "Dragon Secret Realm".
Ever since Emperor Tianxing practiced in seclusion in the deep palace and handed over the secular government affairs to Princess Zhaoning, this jade seal has been kept by her.
Although the jade seal is a symbol of imperial power.
But Princess Zhaoning knew very well that the treasure that truly represented the power of the Daqi Dynasty was the Tai'a sword in the hands of Emperor Tianxing.
This jade seal is just a formal substitute.
As long as the emperor is willing, he can take back the power attached to the jade seal and the power she possesses at any time.
After all, she is just the housekeeper of this dynasty, not its master.
She took a deep breath, held the jade seal tightly, and thought.
A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared on the jade seal, like a golden flame, rapidly spreading to all directions, and soon enveloped Luoshui, covering up the sky, making everyone present unable to open their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the jade talisman in each participant's hand also glowed with golden light, complementing it.
The sound of dragon roars came from the void, vaguely and vaguely.
At this moment, Gu Xu felt that an invisible force came from the jade talisman, which was about to drag him into the void and send him to another world.
However, at this moment, a sudden voice broke the solemn and solemn atmosphere.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
In the bright light, I saw a tall young man hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.
He was wearing a dark blue gown, had a dark complexion, an unkempt beard, and a haggard face, looking like he was bitter and resentful.
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had a photographic memory, so he easily recognized the young man's identity.
It was Bai Chen, a Feng Shui master who was good at swordsmanship that he had met in the audition.
Not far away, Zhao Yan also frowned slightly.
She also met Bai Chen in her own courtyard and saw him talking face to face with his father, Yan Guogong Zhao Changying. She knew that he was a very capable Feng Shui master and had recently cooperated with the Zhao family. He helped with the layout of the Zhao family's courtyard.
Designed.
"How can he be late for such a big event as the Luoshui Conference?"
She instantly felt that this person was a bit unreliable.
