Chapter 324 Rules
In the next few minutes, Zhao Yan and Gu Xu each shared their experiences in the "Dragon Secret Realm".
According to Zhao Yan's description, she was initially transported to an area with thousands of peaks and towering green mountains. There, she encountered a monster with a human face and a leopard body.
This monster has only one eye, has cow ears and a long tail, and makes a deafening cry. It carries its tail in its mouth when walking and wraps it around its body when resting.
She knew that this monster was called "Zhu Jian".
Since this "zodiac bull" blocked her way, she picked up "Yizhangwei" and started fighting with it without saying a word.
Like "Wen Jian", "Fu Zhu" and "Kui Niu", "Zhu Jian" also possesses a special ability, which is to control rocks and soil, and even change the trend of mountains.
But as a wealthy lady, Zhao Yan has practiced many exquisite martial arts since she was a child, and also mastered a high-grade body technique called "Fenghuo Huyue".
A large-scale attack by "Zhu Jian" might leave ordinary people with corpses everywhere, but it poses no threat to Zhao Yan.
Her figure is agile and like lightning, she shuttles between the moving mountains.
In the blink of an eye, she stabbed the "Zhu Jian" dozens of times until it was like a hornet's nest, with its skin and flesh torn open and its blood flowing freely.
But he couldn’t be beaten to death.
It was still alive and kicking in front of her with its last bit of weak vitality.
Zhao Yan felt a little headache about this.
While she was silently thinking about how to completely deal with this "zodiac beast", a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, reciting a spell and throwing the talisman in his hand towards the bruised monster. .
This person is Jia Xiuguang, the Talisman Master of Longmen Academy.
The talisman seal in his hand is just an ordinary "Fire Flame True Talisman" copied from a book. In Zhao Yan's opinion, it is not as good as the one drawn by the worshipers of her clan. Fu Zhuan.
But it was this ordinary talisman that gave the "Zhu Jian" a fatal blow, causing it to suddenly fall to the ground and disappear into ashes.
Zhao Yan’s sharp eyes fell on Jia Xiuguang.
Jia Xiuguang said tremblingly that he just wanted to help and had no ill intentions.
Zhao Yan sneered and asked him, since he wanted to help, why didn't he come out earlier and instead stayed aside to watch the show? Was he just trying to reap the benefits?
Jia Xiuguang hesitated and said that he had a low cultivation level and did not dare to participate in the battle casually. He needed to wait for the best time to take action.
Zhao Yan was noncommittal to his explanation.
She placed a restraint on Jia Xiuguang and took him with her. After possessing the "Tool Man", she quickly discovered the rule in the "Dragon Secret Realm" that "a monster must be killed by the cooperation of multiple monks", and she also found map fragments in the ashes left after the death of the monster.
She killed a few "Zhu Jian", uncovered part of the fog shrouding the "Secret Realm of Tianlong", and then left the steep and rugged mountains and came to this area that had been flooded. land.
Here, she saw Chu Fengge fighting fiercely with a "huzhu".
One is a monk who has the magical power of "weeds", and the other is an unkillable monster - if no one else intervenes, he will probably be able to fight until the end of the world.
Zhao Yan walked forward without politeness, swung her spear, and easily stabbed the "Fu Zhu" to death, and then picked up the map fragments from the ashes left behind.
Chu Fengge was furious about this.
He had long regarded that "huzhu" as his trophy. Seeing that Zhao Yan had snatched the trophy, he rushed forward with the "Tiankui Sword" without saying a word, and wanted to fight Zhao Yan to the death.
Hence the scene just now.
After listening to Zhao Yan's narration, Gu Xu squatted down, picked up a dead branch, and drew a circle on the muddy ground.
Then he marked the three words "Xun", "Kan" and "Gen" on the circle.
"I guess that there may be multiple areas in the 'Dragon Secret Realm'," he was heard to say. "Each area has a unique geographical environment and monsters, and is closely related to Bagua— -For example, 'Xun' represents wind, and the monsters in Xun District are the 'Wenhu' that can stir up the wind; 'Kan' represents water, and the monsters in Kan District are 'Fu Zhu' that can summon floods; 'Gen' Representing mountains, the monsters in the 'Gen' area are the 'Zhu Jian' that can control the mountains. "And these areas are probably formed in a circle according to the order of the innate Bagua - "Qiankun. It determines the north and south, and the ridge determines the east and west'
"In the counterclockwise direction, they are Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun."
Gu Xu said while writing the corresponding words on the soil text.
Zhao Yan held her right hand in front of her plump and straight chest, and held her chin with her left hand. She glanced sideways at him with a thoughtful expression.
After a short silence, she asked lightly: "Are you sure?"
Gu Xu didn't answer immediately.
He took out an old copper coin from his pocket, silently recited the names of "Tai Shang Haotian" and "Emperor Zi Wei", and gently threw it up.
The copper coin fell steadily into his palm, face up.
Then he stood up and smiled at Zhao Yan: "It seems that my guess was right."
Zhao Yan looked down at the slightly rusty copper coin in his hand. , thinking of the description of Gu Xu in the information collected a few days ago - "proficient in talismans, formations, divination, astrology, feng shui and other knowledge", I thought that there is such a genius in this world, and he only has no time to practice. In just one year, I have filled my head with so much profound and difficult knowledge.
"Then which area do you think the 'Silver Wine' will be in?" she asked.
"I guess it's the Qian District," Gu Xu thought for a while and said, "Innate gossip, 'Qian' ranks first. The 'Silver Wine Zhi', which symbolizes the leader, is in the Qian District as expected. Let’s go!”
After saying this, he threw up the copper coin in his hand again.
This time it is still face up.
“Look, I guessed it right again.”
Zhao Yan looked at him and said nothing.
The divination spell is really cheating. She commented silently in her mind.
…………
At the same time.
Shangguan Jin stood among the volcanic lava, looking at the black dog-shaped "Hu Dou" in front of him with solemn eyes.
In the past period of time, she had seen the rankings on the ranking list changing rapidly, seeing the names "Gu Xu" and "Zhao Yan" rushing up, and she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of urgency in her heart.
Although she knows that her talent is not as good as those two, looking at the entire dynasty, she is also the best among her peers and the proud son of heaven who is highly valued by the chief minister - if she can't even make it into the rankings Yeah, that's too embarrassing.
Moreover, deep in her heart, there was a small expectation that she did not want to admit - she wanted Gu Xu to pass the list and see her name.
Unfortunately, the "map fragment" seemed to be playing hide and seek with her. Even if she walked around the volcano, she couldn't find any clues.
Where are those "map fragments" hidden?
Could it be hiding in the bellies of these monsters?
Shangguan Jin thought for a long time and finally focused on the "Fu Dou" who were taking a leisurely bath in the lava.
With a thought in her mind, she waved her hand to summon the sword "Tian Yue" and prepared to have a tentative battle with it.
However, at this moment, a young man with dark skin, wearing a dark blue gown, and holding a Feng Shui compass suddenly appeared not far away, walking towards her on the hot lava.

(1) "Shan Hai Jing·Beishan Jing": "There is a beast, which looks like a leopard with a long tail, a human head like an ox's ears, and one eye. It is called Zhu Jian. It is good at fighting, and it has a title when it moves. At the end, if you live, you will be at the end."
