Chapter Eighty-Four: The Throne (II)

Xia Jie could only howl helplessly: "Brother Gale, can you heal me first?" My bones are broken, and when it is dawn, I will go to the palace to receive the determination of the throne." ”

These words finally made Shang Tang and Xingtian Dafeng pay their attention to Xia Jie. Shang Tang looked at Xia Jie in surprise and said, "Isn't this a ceremony that only comes once in nine years? Why can you measure the peak tomorrow Xia Jie?" Hmm, Xia Jie's military Hou seems to have won the favor of the Wu Palace. ”

Xingtian Xuanlee took the opportunity to say: "This is very good, why don't you go into the city with us Shang Tang, otherwise you will enter the city after dawn, but you will have to spend a night in the wilderness, but why bother? Hmm, Brother Xia Jie will have a good rest tonight, if you want to determine the top position, you have to stay energetic." Shang Tang also wanted to make more friends with the people of the Xingtian family, so he agreed to the invitation of the Xingtian brothers, and ordered his guards to dismantle the camp in the field outside the city, and follow Xia Jie and them into the city.

Before leaving, Xia Jie also asked someone to find his lost mace, and several of Shang Tang's guards joined forces to lift the mace weighing 240,000 catties. At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate that he suddenly rose up and saved Xia Jie.

Nothing was said all night.

When the sky was just dawning, several witches from the Heavenly Witch Palace arrived at Xingtianfu and asked Xia Jie to go to the palace to test the throne. In order to cheer up Xia Jie, the Xingtian Gale brothers pulled the Cangfeng Dao people and followed Xia Jie all the way. Xing Tian'e ran to the palace early to complain, accusing An Yi Ling of conniving at his subordinates to attack his friends of Xing Tian's family, and he refused to stop until he had to pull down the An Yi Order alive.

On the way, I happened to pass a mansion, and the door of the mansion was full of human heads, Xia Jie counted a little, and there were at least more than 3,000 heads hanging on the wall near the gate. Xingtian Gale looked at Xia Jie's surprised appearance, and said casually: "Yesterday, you were just taken away by Li Wu, and we received news that most of the sea people who attacked the palace were Lenu from Si Lering's mansion. The king was furious, and after a few words from the newly sealed concubine Qingyue, he beheaded Si Leling's family and his nine clans. ”

Shrugging his shoulders easily, Xingtian Dafeng sneered: "Back then, the current Si Le Ling falsely accused Qingyue's father Qing Fu and won the official position of this Si Le Ling, but now it is not a good end. ”

Xia Jie suddenly realized that when he was taken away by Li Wu yesterday, he finally heard a loud report from the guards of the Xingtian family, presumably it was about Si Le Ling killing the whole family. Speaking of which, according to Xia Jie's understanding, Si Lering should be innocent. Cain should be the ancestor of the blood family, Cain, he first embraced the slaves in the Si Lering Mansion and let these slaves attack the palace, but what does it have to do with the Si Lering?

On the square in front of the main hall of the palace, Tianwu and other nine great witches were standing in front of the nine tripods of Zhenguo. The main hall that collapsed yesterday has been repaired by witchcraft, and the royal palace, which was beaten to shreds, has also returned to normal. And obviously, after yesterday's lesson, the Great Xia Palace did not dare to be careless, and extremely vicious witch curses were imposed everywhere, and it was not as easy as before to enter and exit the palace.

Under the reflection of the light of various witch spells in the sky, Zhenguo Jiuding was emitting a green and faint light, releasing an incomparably strong magic power fluctuation.

Seeing Xia Jie and them walking in, Tianwu suddenly spoke: "Xia Jie, today you are going to set off to the ancestral land of the Dongyi people, but this matter of determining the top position cannot be delayed." Only the witch who officially holds the throne is the witch recognized by the gods, and can serve as the envoy of Great Xia to the outside world. Don't think it's a trivial matter. ”

Looking at the Heavenly Witches with serious faces, Xia Jie couldn't figure out why a strength test was also regarded so important by them. Isn't it just to measure how strong his Xia Jie's magic power is? With the power of Tianwu and Li Wu, can't we still see how much power he Xia Jie's specific strength is? It's just that, perhaps, what Tianwu said and being recognized by the gods is the most important part of this kind of ritual.

Because it is not a ceremony once every nine years, the memorial ceremony for Xia Jie's test of the throne this time is very simple, just slaughtering nearly a hundred livestock and a dozen slaves, using their blood and spirit to sacrifice to the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, and asking for the protection of the gods, the ceremony is completed. Next, Xia Jie was asked to use his magic power to determine how strong he was.

Zhenguo Jiuding, each tripod is 100 zhang high and weighs 9.99 million catties. Nine is the most expensive thing in Great Xia, and the weight of this tripod is naturally the same.

The so-called test of the top position means that no matter whether it is a witch or a witch, you can only use your own magic power to see how many tripods you can lift. If the spiritual power can move one tripod, it is a tripod witch, and if it can move two tripods, it is the second tripod witch.

However, between the nine tripods of Zhenguo, it is the 'Huangu Town Divine Array' that constitutes Great Xia to deter Kyushu. A tripod weighs 9.99 million catties, which is true. However, the two tripods were lifted at the same time, and the formation was mutually restrictive, and the weight was ten times that of a tripod. When the three tripods are lifted at the same time, the pressure is 100 times that of the two tripods. Calculated in turn, it is conceivable how strong the power of Jiuding Dawu can be.

A great witch, if he can only use his magic power to move a tripod, is a tripod of the inferior product. If you can float a tripod in the air for an hour, it is the middle grade of a tripod. If a witch can use his magic power to move a tripod to fly freely in the sky, this is the top grade of a tripod. The other tops are also divided in this way. And the higher the top rank, the upper, middle, and lower grades, the greater the difference in the strength of witches of the same grade, after all, it is impossible to use an accurate measurement to determine how strong the witch power of these witches is.

However, it is not important to determine the strength of the magic power, what is important is whether the Ding can produce a strange omen when moving the Zhenguo Ding with the magic power. These signs indicate that the gods love or hate the witch. If it is a witch approved by the gods, it is an official member of the Great Xia Witch Sect. And those witches who were sent down by the gods to prove that the gods were extremely disgusted would be killed on the spot and offered to the gods as sacrificial gifts.

Xingtian Gale explained to Xia Jie the meaning and method of the top position test for a long time, and then slapped Xia Jie's shoulder heavily, and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, only those witches who have angered the gods will be sent down ominous ominous signs during the top test." In ordinary witches, the signs are very small. If you can make Zhenguo Jiuding shine with divine light, it proves that you have been blessed by the gods, and in the future, no witch will dare to offend you in Daxia Kyushu. ”

Xiahou smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice Xingtian Dafengdao: "If when I test, the Great Ding descended is an ominous omen?"

Xingtian Dafeng's face changed, and the Xingtian Xuanleech next to him scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, if it is an ominous sign, you will be killed on the spot, do you think this is a fun thing? Why can only a witch with a top position be an envoy to the outside world of Great Xia? Because only such a witch can be trusted by the Witch Palace." ”

Over there, the Celestial Witch was cutting off the head of the last sacrificer, spraying the slave's blood on the feet of a large ding. A faint light shot down from the sky and shone on Jiuding, and Tianwu immediately roared loudly: "The heavenly god has already received our sacrifice, Xia Jie, you are not here, what are you doing there?"

Taking a long breath and touching the white head beside him, Xia Jie strode towards the open space in the middle of Jiuding.

Tianwu and the other nine great witches slowly dispersed, and each of them stood at the bottom of a tripod, looking at Xia Jie, who was sitting cross-legged with blazing eyes. This can be said to protect Xia Jie, lest he is not strong enough to be rescued by that heavy force. But Xia Jie also knew that this was not a kind of surveillance? According to Xingtian Gale, if he really used his magic power to raise the Nine Dings, it would be an ominous omen to descend from the Ding, even if he was favored by the Heavenly Witch, he would be killed on the spot.

A smile appeared on Tianwu's face, and he said to Xia Jie gently: "Don't be nervous, Xia Jie, you are the one favored by the gods, just release all your magic power." How about starting with a tripod?"

Xia Jie nodded, took a long breath, and suddenly a yellow bright light shot out from the center of his eyebrows, turning into a circle of water waves, and rolled towards the big tripod closest to him.

The 9.99 million jin Dading, which was rolled up by Xia Jie's magic power, flew high at the moment, carrying waves and floating in the sky above the palace, which was not easy.

Xiahou's divine thoughts were in direct contact with Jiuding, and that strange warm power seeped into Xia Jie's body from Jiuding along his divine thoughts. He only felt that his body was filled with endless energy, and a huge amount of earth-based yuan power continued to rush into his sea of consciousness, so that his abundant spiritual power was transformed into earth-based magic power.

To be able to increase his strength so sharply while conducting the top test, except for Xia Jie, I am afraid that no one else can do it. The strange energy in the Nine Tripods was gushing into Xia Jie's body, and he only felt that his whole body was fluttering, and his whole body was greatly strengthened.

Suddenly, Xia Jie couldn't help but moan, it was so comfortable, the strange energy in this tripod, it was like giving Xia Jie a sauna massage, he was sweating profusely, and his body was so energetic that he had such an illusion, he felt that he could break the sky with one punch.

Perhaps, it is precisely because Xia Jie was brought here from the world of his previous life by one of the Jiuding, and his blood was refined with Jiuding in that strange tunnel, so there was such a wonderful connection between Xia Jie and Jiuding. Jiuding, who can't be used by the great witches at all, did not hesitate to inject his energy into Xia Jie's body, allowing him to grow hundreds of times faster than ordinary witches. Xia Jie's cultivation of the Qi Refining Technique from the Tongtian Dao people gave him a much stronger spiritual power than ordinary great witches, and now, these spiritual powers are being transformed into magical power.

What made Xia Jie even more happy was that this energy not only strengthened his magic power, but also flowed along the meridians of his body, and finally flowed into the purple golden pill in his dantian, making the golden pill even more dazzling. In a single breath, the amount of purple qi that the golden pill could absorb and release was at least a hundred times more than before. Gradually, Xia Jie's body was filled with that purple aura, and that purple aura gradually transformed into a higher level of true qi.

Tianwu's voice came: "That's it, Xia Jie, you have at least surpassed the strength of a top grade." Now you try to lift two big tripods at the same time. ”

'Wow', Xia Jie, who was all comfortable, immediately rolled his magic power towards another big ding, wanting to lift that big ding as well.

With a 'hum' sound, the big tripod was also lifted into the sky by Xia Jie's magic power. The two cyan tripods floating in the sky suddenly released a strong cyan light, and a strange formation had been formed between the two tripods, and the pressure on Xia Jie had become ten times the weight of the two tripods themselves!

A more powerful strange heat flow forcibly poured into Xia Jie's sea of consciousness from those two great tripods, forcibly developing Xia Jie's spiritual potential, consolidating his primordial spirit, strengthening his divine sense, and enhancing his magic power. The two big tripods frantically absorbed all the earth-based yuan power in Anyi City in the sky, and gradually the attraction of this vortex has expanded to tens of thousands of miles, and all the earth-based yuan forces within tens of thousands of miles were absorbed by the two big tripods, turning into countless yellow dragons, and rushing into Xia Jie's body with a 'boom'.

Now, this kind of anomaly can be discovered by anyone with eyeballs.

Huang Yi hugged the little yellow dragon and ran out in a hurry behind a team of palace witch guards, screaming with his mouth wide open: "The gods are above, what's wrong?"

Tianwu was already trembling with excitement, he stretched out his hands and shouted loudly to the sky: "Good omen, good omen of the gods! This Xia Jie is a blessed person who is blessed by the gods!"

Xia Jie's whole body emitted a yellow bright light, and the outer layer of skin had begun to lithify, and his body had been strengthened hundreds of times. Even a layer of muscles under his skin has begun to form earthy yellow crystals, which are crystals formed by the purest earth-based elemental power, with strong defensive power and terrifying power.

Another big tripod flew into the sky. The three big tripods stood tall in the sky, and the formation of the formation exerted the pressure of hundreds of times their own weight on Xia Jie's body. Xia Jie's eyebrows were already a yellow pillar of light a foot thick, barely able to hold up the three big tripods and prevent them from falling.

An even larger number of strange heat currents like a tsunami in a hurricane burst down from the three great tripods and rushed into Xia Jie's body. The earthy yellow earth-based Yuanli dragon continued to blast into Xia Jie's body, and finally the entire square in front of the main hall of the palace was covered by the strong light of the earthy yellow.

The Celestial Witch danced there with a strange step, chanting words and prayers towards the sky. This kind of strange phenomenon, this kind of Jiuding directly helping a witch to improve his magic power, how many years has not appeared? Only in the legendary era a long time ago, there was a great witch favored by the gods, and this kind of most direct help from Zhenguo Jiuding. Good sign, this is a big good sign.

Li Wu's small mouth hidden under the black mist pouted slightly, and he looked at Xia Jie shrouded in yellow light with disdain: "It seems that the highest is only the top grade of Sanding, hum, what's so proud? Tianwu is also too fussful." Okay, very good, after Xia Jie's body was refined by Jiuding, the earth-based Yuan Force in his body should be more refined, hehehehehe, but he is not afraid that the herbs in the medicine garden will not be used enough in the future. ”

Gradually, Xia Jie's spiritual power has been squeezed out, and all the spiritual power has been transformed into earth-based magic power. As a result, all those earth-based yuan forces acted on Xia Jie's body, which greatly strengthened his **. Xia Jie, who originally had the strength of the Erding Great Witch, was immediately raised to the level of ordinary Wuding Great Witch by this huge yuan force.

Now Xia Jie, casually squeezed his fist, and his fists were 'popping', and small yellow lightning continued to bloom. His strength has been strengthened to an incredible level. Purely in terms of the muscle strength of **, I am afraid that even the heavenly witches and them can't compare to Xia Jie's strange power. After all, the Heavenly Witches are all sorcerers, and the enhancement is not as good as a witch like Xia Jie. Moreover, the witches of earth-based witchcraft are born with a great advantage in strength.

It seemed that the three great tripods in the sky also felt that Xia Jie's current physical strength had been squeezed out by them, and finally slowly fell back to its original position, and the disappearance of the sky slowly dissipated. The thick earth-based Yuan Force had gathered into an entity, turning into a sky full of yellow sand, clods of soil, and lumps of soil that fell, and they were full of faces when they fell into the strong wind, and they were so angry that they shouted and cursed at Xia Jie.

With two black eyes, the obviously overindulgent Xia King also appeared on the high steps in front of the main hall with a group of witch guards.

He looked down at Xia Jie, who was slowly standing up, nodded and smiled: "The auspicious omen from the gods? Very good, this Xia Jie is a blessed person, let's upgrade his military rank by one level." Auxiliary duke, reward him with a fief outside the city of Anyi for this king. Xing Tian'e bowed down to receive the order, and suddenly Xing Tian'e was stunned for a moment, what is the meaning of rewarding for you?

King Xia had already happily walked down the steps and walked towards Xia Jie.

"Okay, Xia Jie, you are a person blessed by the gods, so you should serve me. I am the son of the gods, and you are blessed by the gods, so you should naturally work for me. If An Yi Ling dares to send someone to attack you, the king will be angry for you. I ordered someone to kill his whole family, you can always be angry, right?" King Xia didn't take human life seriously, and looked at Xia Jie with a smile.

Xia Jie bowed down and said, "Thank you, the king." However, the one who attacked Xia Jie last night is still there. ”

King Xia waved his hand violently and said vaguely: "And the person who attacked you?" Well, that person was already dead when he was sent to the palace, so he couldn't ask for any confession, and he didn't know who sent him. This matter will be investigated slowly by the assistant father. ”

Soon, King Xia diverted the topic: "You are now a Sanding Great Witch recognized by the gods, and you have to do a lot of things for this king." A while ago, the Dongyi people sued for peace with the king and sent a lot of money, goods, and beauties, and the king agreed. According to the rules of Great Xia, we want to reward them with money and women, this time, just let you go. ”

Xia Jie respectfully accepted the order, but he was very disapprehensive in his heart. What has been agreed on a long time ago, there are still so many pretentious things, and King Xia is very hypocritical. Except for him Xia Jie, who can let the Hidden Witch Taiyi take action to help them snatch back the 'Star Wheel'? Especially the second wave of people who attacked him last night, it is clear that there is a living mouth, King Xia insisted that the person is dead, it seems that it should be a certain prince of King Xia who sent someone to assassinate him, and the most suspicious one is Xuan!

But since King Xia has made it clear that he wants to protect him, what else can Xia Jie say? Xing Tian'e is beside him, isn't he all silent? This time, he can only admit that he is dumb.

When King Xia saw Xia Jie's deferential appearance, he immediately laughed, pointed at Xing Tian'er and said with a smile: "Fugong, you can arrange this matter." Today is a good day, the gods have sent down auspicious signs, let Xia Jie lead people to set off today. Hehe, don't let the Dongyi people keep waiting, saying that we don't pay attention to etiquette in Daxia. ”

Xing Tian'e smiled and took the order, and then asked casually: "Then, the matter of An Yi Ling?"

King Xia frowned, waved his hand, and said angrily: "Since he sent someone to kill people, then kill his entire family." Well, before killing him, ask him clearly, why did he send someone to attack Xia Jie, could it be that Xia Jie offended him? Or, hmm. ”

King Xia's brows furrowed deeply, and he sighed after a long time: "Forget it, don't ask, the whole family is killed." ”

Xia Jie understood that King Xia was afraid, so if there were other princes behind the Anyi Order, it would be difficult for him to protect it.

But as he was talking, a big round fat man had rushed in from outside the palace gate, and roared loudly all the way: "King, I have been wronged." That Yiling listened to the orders of my unsuccessful child, and only did that kind of thing. ”

Xia Jie took a look, okay, isn't it An Yi Ling who is coming? He was followed by several guards, two of whom were carrying the man who had lost his thigh in his hand.
