Chapter 312 The second stage of the path to the God of War opens: The armor-clad red sorceress
Dalang is back!
When Zhao Duan stepped in and walked in surrounded by the maids, Eugene and his daughter had heartfelt smiles on their faces.
In this world where travel is inconvenient, some people are separated once and never see each other again for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, Zhao Duan studied ancient poetry in his previous life. Farewell and homesickness have always been a big theme.
Moreover, because of the hard-won meeting, the letter delivered from afar is full of weight.
Zhao Duan has not been in this world for a long time, and he does not have a deep understanding of it.
All he knew was that his return home caused a "commotion" in the Zhao family.
All the servants in the house came out to watch. The first question the mistress asked was "Have you eaten?" When she learned that Zhao Duan had just returned from the palace and had not eaten lunch, she immediately ordered the cook to light a fire.
Then, Zhao Duan was welcomed into the hall, and naturally there was a burst of greetings.
The aunt wore a plain double-breasted dress, embroidered with plump begonia flowers.
The girl is wearing a goose-yellow skirt, which makes her look particularly elegant and elegant.
The two women gathered around Zhao Duan. They first looked at her and expressed concern, saying things like whether she was eating well and whether she had lost weight. Zhao Duan took out the local specialties he had brought with him as a gift when he returned from Taicang, and casually told the story. Some experiences along the way.
As for work matters, they were briefly mentioned, and the incident of being intercepted was not mentioned at all.
In this way, when the cook served the hot meal, Zhao Duan devoured it happily.
Although he rested in the cities along the way, when he returned home, he felt that his feet had fallen to the ground, and hot food entered his stomach. Zhao, who had eaten and drank enough, got up, and went back to his bedroom to rest in the name of rest.
…
East wing.
Eugene Hua and Zhao Pan walked back to the room. The beautiful woman took off her coat and sat cross-legged on the bed, gently stroking her well-proportioned and slender legs to relieve the fatigue from the busy schedule just now.
The cleaning girl sat at the round table and opened the specialties that Zhao Duan brought back with great interest. She took out a jade bracelet with ice flowers inside from the gift box, put it on her wrist and played with it, saying happily:
"Mom, do you think it looks good?"
Eugene Flower glanced at her daughter and said with a smile: "It's beautiful. Look at the precious bracelet. Don't break it. Put it away. Mom will save it for you and use it as a dowry in the future."
"..." Zhao Pan grimaced and remained silent. He silently covered his wrist with his sleeves, determined not to take off the bracelet, and then said:
"Mom, do you think there is any relationship between eldest brother and His Majesty?"
"Ah?" Eugene Hua pinched her calf and stared at her daughter in surprise: "What are you talking about."
Zhao Pan was confused, his eyes rolled, and he said quietly:
"It has always been said outside that the eldest brother has that relationship with His Majesty, but my family knows about my family affairs, but I don't think so. The eldest brother is very calculated. How many nights did he stay in the palace? Most of the time he went to the palace during the day to report on official business... …
Also, I heard people say that men and women will become different after doing that, but I don’t know what the difference is, I just feel that there is no change. Mom, you have experience, tell me, is this a rumor? "
Eugene Hua spat and said angrily: "What do you think about all day long, Huang Hua's daughter? Don't interfere in your eldest brother's and His Majesty's affairs."
"I'm just asking. I'm not stupid. I will never tell anyone else." Zhao Pan puffed up his cheeks, which had become rounder due to his autumn fat.
Eugene Hua didn't say anything, just treating it as an end to the topic.
While rubbing his crossed calves, he couldn't help but have thoughts in his mind:
Dalang...it really doesn't look like he has tasted meat.
…
…
In the bedroom.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Duan took a simple bath, then felt comfortable and climbed into bed.
“I don’t know how Gao Lian’s case will develop, and Li Yanfu will definitely not let it go.
Alas, the court finally calmed down... Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. Since Zhenbao said she would handle it, so be it. If I really want to go to court tomorrow and answer my question in public, I would be a little nervous..."
Zhao Duan's thoughts were scattered and he couldn't sleep.
I simply got up, crossed my legs on the bed and made a posture with five hearts in the sky, and started today's practice.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
It cannot be left to waste.
Breathing it out slowly, he visualized the second picture of the "Six Chapters Sutra" of the Martial God's Path in his mind.
According to experience, he will enter a lightless darkness, and then wait until the Qi around his body circulates for a complete cycle before waking up.
However, this time, when he suddenly entered the "Six Chapters Sutra", the darkness in front of him slowly dissipated, and the scenery actually appeared in his field of vision!
Zhao Duan was stunned!
Is there finally a change? Did he gain a firm foothold in the Shenzhang Realm?
What a coincidence, there was progress just after returning to the capital.
Suppressing his surprise, he looked around curiously and found that the place he was in was a desolate forest land, with a desolate suburb in the distance, and dark clouds gathering in the sky.
It's cold and windy, and it's probably late autumn.
"Where is this place... I don't know if there is Lao Xu in the Six Chapters Sutra..." With experience, Zhao Duan didn't panic at all and walked a few steps forward before exiting this sparse forest. , eyes suddenly opened up.
In the field of vision, there was a lonely ruined temple standing in front of him.
The ruined temple is more like a Taoist temple, but its architectural style is slightly different from that of today's era. It is older and has been abandoned for who knows how many months.
The paint on the door is mottled, black, and full of holes. The lantern at the corner of the door fell to the ground, leaving only the bamboo strips frame.
The temple plaque is covered with cobwebs and hangs diagonally under the eaves, but the writing on it seems to have been artificially destroyed. The steps in front of the temple door are cracked and weeds are overgrown in the cracks.
"This should be the first stop in the Six Chapters. Well, the building is old. Well, it is the style of six hundred years ago. Is it some places that Lao Xu has seen before? Has it been painted in?"
Zhao Duan curiously walked outside the temple door, climbed up the steps, raised his hand and pushed hard.
"Squeak——"
What came into view was a cold and secluded courtyard, with weeds all over the courtyard and a collapsed alchemy furnace in the corner.
His eyes followed the almost-covered path in the weeds and arrived at the main hall that had been ravaged by countless time.
The door of the palace was tightly closed, and the two pillars outside seemed to have been chopped with knives and axes, with scratches and scratches destroying the original couplets.
"Is there anyone there?" Zhao Duan's heart felt cold for no reason, and he was surprised. This place is a bit dark.
I shouted twice, but there was no answer. Only two crows flew up from behind the temple, flapped their wings, and flew up the branches to look down.
"No one? The style of this six-chapter scripture is a bit bigger than the previous one... Could it be that the NPC is in the main hall?"
Zhao Duan complained that he habitually regarded the scrolls of the Martial God Path as clearing the game.
His feet were already walking towards the main hall, but just before he reached the steps of the main hall.
Suddenly, a rustling cool breeze came from behind, accompanied by a strong premonition of danger!
The hair on the back of his neck stood up in an instant!
“Something’s wrong!”
Zhao Duan suddenly turned around, and his pupils suddenly narrowed.
He saw a pair of red embroidered shoes floating in the air behind him at the same level as his eyes. The owner of the shoes seemed to be a woman.
At this moment, the embroidered shoes slowly fell from the sky, and he could clearly see a section of ankle as white as jade above the shoes.
Further up, there are two white jade legs, straight and slender, which are immediately covered by the hanging red skirt.
"What female ghost..." Zhao Duan felt his breathing quicken, and his whole body seemed to be locked by some kind of force, making it difficult to move. He tried his best to raise his head, and finally caught a glimpse of the true form of the woman falling from the sky.
What was striking was a classical woman wearing a bright red wedding dress. The dark red wedding dress was like dried blood, with patterns of golden auspicious clouds and beasts painted on it.
However, his face was covered with a dark golden mask that covered most of his face. It had a simple and mysterious shape, with only half of his chin exposed.
In the woman's hand, she also holds a weighing rod, which is painted in red and gold. There is a tassel tied with a sapphire ring hanging from one end of the handle.
At this moment, the wedding sorcerer descended from the sky and looked down at Zhao Duan coldly.
With cold eyes, the scale beam in his hand pierced Zhao Duan's skull. The latter felt a sharp pain all over his body, and then his vision went dark and his consciousness was chaotic.
He was suddenly knocked out of the state of meditation.
Before Zhao Duan was kicked out of the "Six Chapters Classic", he only heard a faint voice that seemed to be vague and extremely annoying:
"I'm so annoying...I'm so tired..."
…
Zhao Mansion, in the bedroom.
"Huchihuchi..." Zhao Duan suddenly woke up from his meditation, gasping for breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
When it was confirmed that he had "returned", he breathed a sigh of relief and recovered from the state of being killed.
"If you read correctly, my skull was opened just now..."
Zhao Duan touched his intact forehead, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "People's scales are used to lift the hijab. You use it to lift the skull, right...Old Xu, what are you painting? Female ghost ? An ancient warlock? Not like a martial artist anyway..."
Zhao Duan cursed, and after a brief contact, he judged two points:
First, the "wedding woman" in the scroll was not a ghost, but most likely a powerful warlock, because he was covered in wounds in the courtyard. Immobilization, as well as the faint fluctuation of mana, are typical warlock methods.
Of course... why a warlock doesn't use spells to kill people, but uses physical means... Well, considering that the Martial God path also involves both martial arts and martial arts, it's understandable.
Second, this should be the cultivation content of the "Six Chapters Sutra".
"The last "Picture of the God of War" asked me to follow Lao Xu for a certain distance, imitate him, learn from him, and refine my mind."
"This "Six Chapters Sutra" obviously involves 'battle practice'. If you guessed correctly, the content of the practice is to defeat this ancient sorceress... Tsk, this looks more and more like a game, or a soul-based game... …Damn it, I’m not good at this. Black Wukong only watches others fight and doesn’t have the slightest idea of his own…”
Zhao Duan sighed, although he was complaining, he was slightly excited.
What he lacked was the experience of fighting against strong men, and as a result, it was provided in this picture scroll.
"I just don't know which ancient powerful person in history this sorceress with the scale is. Well, Lao Xu will definitely not make it up. It should be an opponent he has fought before, right?"
"Wait...golden mask..."
Zhao Duan was suddenly startled, recalling the unique dark golden mask on the face of the wedding sorceress, and couldn't help but think of the armor-covered female shadow guard he had seen in Taicang Mansion.
