Chapter 63: Nine Princes
Green tiles and green bricks are like gold and jade.
Stepping into the open door, you will be greeted by an empty courtyard with a special view on the ground paved with gravel slabs.
There is a small pavilion in the corner of the courtyard, and there is a person in the pavilion, with his back facing Chen Zong, and his face cannot be seen, but from the back view, he is a little thin, and looking at the clothes, he looks like a dragon and a mountain, his identity is very unusual.
The gray-robed middle-aged man also ignored Chen Zong and went straight to the small pavilion.
"Ninth Prince, someone brought it here." The middle-aged man in gray robe stood outside the small pavilion and saluted slightly.
The people in the kiosk turned around, and their eyes first fell on the middle-aged man in the gray robe. A smile appeared on his handsome face, and he didn't pretend to say anything. He said in a clear voice, "Teacher, I'm sorry."
"It should be." The middle-aged man seemed to say very little, and after he finished speaking, he stepped aside and stood upright like a sword.
Chen Zong was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, and the conversation between the two just now was not concealed, so he could hear clearly.
Nine princes!
There are nine princes in the Longtu Dynasty, and this person in front of him is one of them.
Chen Zong remained calm on the surface, but his heart sank slightly. Most of the previous incidents had something to do with the Third Prince, and now there is another Ninth Prince.
Surrounded by the Dragon Claw Guards before, he wanted to rush out of the imperial city and stay away from here, but the clinker was surrounded as if he had fallen into a trap. One, he is not an opponent.
Just when Chen Zong was helpless, the middle-aged man in the gray robe with the sword on his back appeared, and without saying a word, he let himself go with him. The four pseudo-mortal warriors of Dragon Claw Guard hesitated, but they didn't stop him either. It seems that I dare not.
It seemed that they also knew that this middle-aged man belonged to the Ninth Prince.
The matter has come to this point, we can only see the tricks.
"Chen Zong has met the Ninth Prince." Chen Zong saluted calmly.
"Brother Chen is free." The Ninth Prince looked at Chen Zong and said with a slight smile, but this address made Chen Zong slightly startled, as if there was no malice.
"Brother Chen, please sit down." The Ninth Prince indicated the vacant seat in the small pavilion and said.
Chen Zong was not afraid, he strode into the small pavilion and sat down opposite the Ninth Prince.
This calmness made the eyes of the Ninth Prince flash a gleam, and the middle-aged man in the gray robe seemed to glance at Chen Zong.
"Chen Zong must first thank the Ninth Prince and this senior for their rescue before he can get out of trouble." Chen Zong said seriously.
"It's easy to do, not to mention that all the crimes are groundless." The Ninth Prince smiled coldly: "Doing this kind of thing is discrediting the royal family."
"There are three guards in the imperial city, the Dragon Eye Guard, the Dragon Tooth Guard, and the Dragon Claw Guard." The Ninth Prince changed the topic: "The three guards each perform their duties, and the Dragon Claw Guard's duty is to maintain law and order in the imperial city and prevent all crimes. The Dragon Eye Guard is to monitor everything and inquire about all the news, as for the Dragon Tooth Guard to gather evil outsiders."
Hearing this, Chen Zong nodded, he had never understood these things before.
"My third brother is the supervisor of the Dragon Tooth Guard, and I am the supervisor of the Dragon Eye Guard." The Ninth Prince said, which surprised Chen Zong.
"Longjingwei's supervision allowed me to know more about Brother Chen." The Ninth Prince smiled, as if to attract Chen Zong's interest.
Hearing this, Chen Zong's heart trembled slightly, and he was full of thoughts in an instant.
"Ming people don't speak dark words." The Ninth Prince spoke again, with a clear voice: "Brother Chen's talent is outstanding, I value it very much, and I specially invite Brother Chen to help me, and I can also promise that Brother Chen does not need to change his surname. If you have higher pursuits, you can leave at any time."
"As long as Brother Chen is willing to help me, I will do my best to get what Brother Chen needs." The Ninth Prince promised again.
As a prince of the royal family, he would never make promises lightly, especially as the supervisor of the Dragon Eye Guard. This was obtained after a fierce competition with other princes, so what if he doesn't have enough ability.
Therefore, it also shows the determination of the Ninth Prince to sincerely invite Chen Zong.
Chen Zong didn't respond immediately, but after thinking about it, the Ninth Prince didn't mean to urge him.
The Ninth Prince's so-called invitation, to put it bluntly, is to serve him. Chen Zong didn't resist it very much. On the contrary, Chen Zong's idea was to go through various things in order to better sharpen himself.
Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages. In the world, nothing is truly perfect, and there will always be its flaws. The point is, what do you need? If you understand this, you will be able to make the right choice.
Furthermore, compared to the third prince, the behavior of the ninth prince is undoubtedly more open and aboveboard, at least it will not make him feel disgusted.
When thinking about it, Chen Zong made a choice.
Get up and salute.
"Chen Zong has met the Ninth Prince." Chen Zong said seriously.
"Okay, okay." The Ninth Prince laughed endlessly, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart. As the supervisor of the Dragon Eye Guard, the Ninth Prince was able to collect all kinds of news in the Longtu domain, and he paid a lot of attention to the geniuses. Since Chen Zong was in Jinghong After becoming famous in the mansion, the Ninth Prince focused on Chen Zong, and after some understanding, he came up with the intention of recruiting Chen Zong.
The Ninth Prince's behavior style is different from that of the Third Prince's, and they often do not resort to oppressive means, but voluntarily.
Moreover, if the Ninth Prince made any promises, he would do it with all his heart. He and the Third Prince were the two most capable of the Nine Princes, and their differences in personality and handling made them often compared.
"Brother Chen, let me introduce you." The Ninth Prince motioned to the middle-aged man in the gray robe with the sword on his back, "This is Yu Wuya, the Xuanjian sect, and my swordsmanship teacher."
"I pay my respects to senior, just now I would like to thank senior for making the rescue." Chen Zong saluted.
"No need to be too polite." Yu Wuya said lightly.
"My teacher is the number one expert in the imperial city's extraordinary realm. He is unparalleled in swordsmanship and mysterious, so he is called Xuanjianzong." The Ninth Prince laughed, and Chen Zong was surprised when he heard this.
There are quite a lot of pseudo-transcendent realms in this imperial city, and it is absolutely amazing to be the number one expert among them.
The invincible in the Human Realm is the king, so it is not too much to call the invincible in the Pseudo-Transcendent Realm the sect.
"I heard that Brother Chen has an extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, and the realm of swordsmanship is superb, but you can also ask the teacher for a lesson or two, maybe you will gain something." The Ninth Prince laughed.
In the eyes of the Ninth Prince, Chen Zong's talent is indeed astonishing, but it cannot be compared with Xuanjian Zong Yu Wuya now. You must know that Yu Wuya not only reached the acme of the pseudo-transcendent realm in terms of cultivation and combat power, but his sword The state of law is extremely high, and it is even better than many sword practitioners in the extreme state.
"Senior, please don't hesitate to teach me." Chen Zong once again saluted Yu Wuya, the one who has mastered it is a teacher, and only by humbly asking for advice can he go further.
"Okay." Yu Wuya nodded, as the Ninth Prince's follower and also as the Ninth Prince's swordsmanship teacher, Yu Wuya naturally knew a lot of things, therefore, regarding Chen Zong's talent, especially the talent in swordsmanship, He is also very interested.
But now is not the time to learn pointing sword skills.
"Brother Chen, do you know why you were expelled from the Zongheng Sword Sect?" The Ninth Prince changed the topic again, but hit Chen Zong's heart directly, causing Chen Zong's pupils to shrink.
Why?
This is exactly what Chen Zong wants to know the most.
"On that day, Brother Chen beheaded Ming Crow, the third core disciple of Wan Luo Zong, in the mountains, and then he was attacked and killed by Lie Yang's hands." The Ninth Prince said as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which made Chen Zong's heart tremble. The Jingwei is really scary, and it seems to penetrate everywhere: "Then he was rushed by Zishan, a loose cultivator, and forced to retreat Lieyang's hands."
"The Lieyang hand was intercepted by Sanxiu Zishan for the second time, unable to chase and kill Brother Chen, so he sent a letter about Brother Chen's beheading of the Dark Crow to Wan Luozong, and stated that Brother Chen killed the Dark Crow with a sneak attack by despicable means. Trying to use the hands of Wan Luozong to deal with you."
Chen Zong listened carefully, confirming his previous conjectures one by one, his thoughts quickly became clear.
It wasn't until the Ninth Prince finished talking about the persecution of the third elder of Wanluozong who went to the Zonghengjianzong alone, that Chen Zong finally understood that the mastermind behind the scenes was none other than Wanluozong, or intuitively speaking, it was directed by the third elder of Wanluozong. .
"There are genius protection regulations in the imperial court's law. The Transcendent Realm is not allowed to personally deal with genius fighters below the Transcendent Realm. Perhaps there are other reasons why the Third Elder of the Wanluo Sect will adopt this method." The Ninth Prince said.
"Ninth Prince, how is senior Yuanlingzi?" Chen Zong asked quickly, somewhat anxiously.
"The Tianyin Hansha finger of the Wan Luozong is a leader in low-grade spiritual-level martial arts. It can only be practiced by comprehending and mastering the true meaning of Yinsha. To practice well, it also needs the cooperation of the corresponding Yinsha power. Corroded by the evil force, he will suffer pain all the time, and he will continue to consume his vitality until he dies." The Ninth Prince said solemnly: "With the cultivation of senior Yuanlingzi, it can take up to three years."
"Three years!" Chen Zong's complexion suddenly changed.
Three years is actually very short, and within these three years, he still has to bear the pain of being eroded by the evil force all the time. Chen Zong doesn't know how painful it is, but it is absolutely uncomfortable.
"Ninth Prince, is there a solution?" Chen Zong asked quickly, guessing that with the status of Ninth Prince, there should be a solution.
"Three methods, the upper method is a Tianyang Hao Yuan Pill, which can not only relieve the threat of the cold sky finger, but also make up for the lost vitality." The Ninth Prince replied decisively and quickly, and immediately showed a wry smile: "Refining the sky Yanghao Yuan Dan needs two kinds of main elixir, which are very rare, and I am not sure to get them. In addition, even if I get the elixir, there is no suitable person to refine it. Since the alchemy king went out to travel a few years ago, there has been no People are sure to refine the Tianyang Hao Yuan Pill."
Chen Zong's heart sank.
"The middle law is to ask Wan Luozong for the antidote, but as far as I know, Wan Luozong's antidote can't be completely eradicated, and it will leave some sequelae." The Ninth Prince said: "The next law is to temporarily take it to replenish vitality. And the elixir with the power of positive yang to resist the erosion of the power of the yin and cold fingers."
"Dare to ask the Ninth Prince, how long can the delay be if we take the next step?" Chen Zong said after thinking about it.
"Ten years." The Ninth Prince paused before responding: "If you don't do anything, you will have no worries in ten years, but it's hard to say in ten years."
"Ten years!" Chen Zong was silent.
Ten years, or ten years when you can't do it, how far can you practice in ten years?
Chen Zong didn't know, full of unknowns.
The solution given by the Ninth Prince is the three methods of upper, middle and lower. The upper method is of course the best, but there is no condition to realize it now. The middle method will leave sequelae, and the lower method has a time limit.
"I suggest Brother Chen, you can take the next step first, maybe the Alchemy King will return in a few years, maybe there is a way." Ninth Prince said.
