Chapter 66: The King of the Fire Pass Country
Within the underground temple, Lu Heng's soul sat cross legged in the void.
In front of him, the dark blue Heavenly Thunder Sword was silently suspended.
Lu Heng has been guarding this sword for seven days after seven lighting bolts have been drawn into the sheath.
The ancient wooden scabbard is as warm as jade, and there is no hint of a killing aura. But what is more peculiar is that the seven heavenly lighting bolts absorbed into the scabbard also disappeared.
This disappearance is not just the disappearance of external breath, because even if Lu Heng feels deeply, he cannot find the existence of heavenly thunder in the Heavenly Thunder Sword.
On the contrary, he sensed a trace of terror similar to the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder…
Lu Heng smiled helplessly. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this.
Originally, what he wanted to forge was a self-defense weapon that could contain the heavenly thunder inside it, and lead the thunder in the sword out to kill enemies when it's necessary.
The two priests of the Li tribe also built Heavenly Thunder Sword according to this plan.
But even the two priests who cast this sword didn't imagine that this Heavenly Thunder Sword has undergone a qualitative change after being hit by the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder.
The seven heavenly lighting bolts that were absorbed by the sword body directly disappeared without a trace. Lu Heng could not use them at all.
Lu Heng would have thought that the Heavenly Thunder Sword was broken if he hadn't felt a trace of terror belonging to the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder brewing slowly inside it.
He tried to control the trace of the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder in the sword, and found that the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder in the sword was weak, but it was slowly increasing.
Probably after a period of time, he can use it to kill.
But the sword could only release one hit…
Lu Heng was in a mixed mood when he realized this. He doesn't know whether to laugh happily or shake his head with a wry smile.
After the original Heavenly Thunder Sword drew the thunder into the sheath, he only needed to wait for a period of time, and then he could kill the enemy at will by controlling the seven lighting bolts in the sword.
But now the seven lightning bolts have turned into one. Although the power is more terrifying, it could only be released once. Once using it, he has to draw thunder into the sheath again and wait for another long period…
Lu Heng doesn't know whether he has made a profit or lost.
The only thing he can be sure of is that Heavenly Thunder Sword can't get out of its sheath at will in the future.
If he wastes the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder at will, he will be unable to resist when he really encounters a strong enemy.
Lu Heng sighed.
The sudden arrival of the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder didn't break the Heavenly Thunder Sword, but it changed the body of the sword, enhanced the power of the sword, and increased the restrictions at the same time.
Perhaps, this is also an alternative kind of punishment? To limit Lu Heng's abuse of the power of heavenly thunder?
Lu Heng shook his head helplessly.
Having confirmed the change of Heavenly Thunder Sword, Lu Heng has no choice but to accept the reality no matter how many thoughts he has in mind.
Next, he needs to focus on cultivating his soul.
The previously split soul caused great losses to Lu Heng. Today, he needs to spend a long time concentrating on calming down and cultivating his soul.
When his soul is completely repaired, he can try [Open the door of heaven] again.
Although in the inner vision world, the huge gate of heaven still stands in the clouds and is difficult to shake.
But after finding the slowly growing trace of the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder in the scabbard, Lu Heng had an idea.
The gate of heaven is so heavy and difficult to open. Maybe he can try to break through with violence…
But he has to wait until he fixes his soul.
In the underground temple, Lu Heng entered the state of cultivation again.
However, the atmosphere of Thousand Needle City, with cold wind and gloomy sky, is tense now. After many days, Gai Yin finally returned to the familiar city from Hanyu mountain.
Now it is approaching the beginning of winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
Although there was no heavy snow, the residents in the city were much better dressed.
On the East Sea not far from the city, the tide surged, bringing a cold sea breeze.
Gai Yin didn't stop after returning to the city, and even didn't go back to his house, so he went directly to the Fire God Temple in the city.
Through the heavy guards, he finally saw the Wuzhu.
In the bleak autumn wind, Gong Shu Jie sat by the window, looking at the autumn leaves outside the window, thinking about something. He didn't notice that the bamboo slips in his hands were reversed.
Until Gai Yin called twice, Gong Shu Jie came back to his senses and saw this confidant subordinate.
"Oh, Gai Yin," Gong Shu Jie stood up from the table and said with a smile, "I was thinking that you should almost come back on time. I didn't expect you to come… How about? Is there anything you want to report?"
Gai Yin didn't dare to delay, and immediately told the story of his trip to Hanyu mountain, meeting the Wolf God, and hearing from the Wolf God.
After saying that, he took out a pot of wine and said, "This is the wine sent by the Wolf God to the master."
Gong Shu Jie took it in an absent-minded way, but his thoughts were not on this pot of wine.
The story brought by Gai Yin also brought him a great shock.
"Strength is stronger than anything…"
Gong Shu Jie mumbled and repeated such words. After thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head.
"The Wolf God is telling me not to act too hastily. Indeed, I'm a little impatient recently, and I should slow down a little."
The atmosphere in the city was so solemn that he naturally knew the reason behind it.
However, the Wolf God's advice brought by Gai Yin made him see the hope of breaking the game again.
"Strength is stronger than anything… strength is stronger than anything… Ah…"
Gong Shu Jie repeated this sentence and couldn't help smiling, "Indeed, as the Wolf God said, as long as the strength is strong enough, I don't need to mind those tricks."
"The old clan, the old clan… Ah… If they really make a big deal, it saves my time!"
"If you don't have a strong heart, you won't achieve great things… This is what the Wolf God wants to tell me. I was too indecisive before."
Gong Shu Jie said, smilied happily, relieved his worries, and relaxed a lot.
He lowered his head, looked at the pot of wine in his hand, and said, "Since this wine is given by the Wolf God, it must be very delicious… let me try it."
Saying this, Gong Shu Jie opened the stopper of the wine pot, and in an instant, a faint and elegant fragrance of wine swirled around the room.
Gong Shu Jie's eyes lit up and he was surprised, "This pot of spirit wine…"
"It's really the best in the world… Tut Tut, good wine, good wine!" The surprise laughter suddenly sounded outside the door, making the two people in the room look back at the same time.
A slender figure stood in the courtyard at some time in the bleak autumn wind.
The person's long red hair was tied at the back of her head and hung down at will, simple and casual. Although her clothes are made of top-level velvet feather, the style is very simple.
Even the baggy clothes looked a little sloppy.
When Gong Shu Jie and Gai Yin looked at the suddenly appearing woman, the other party was also looking at them and smiled.
She carried a wine pot in her hand and was shrouded by a faint smell of wine, just like an alcoholic. A fiery red snake, wrapped around her right arm, silently stared at the two.
Compared with this sloppy and lazy woman, the snake in her hand looked elegant.
But in the face of this slovenly and lazy woman, both Gong Shu Jie and Gai Yin were slightly surprised and dared not be rude at all.
Gai Yin quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"
Gong Shu Jie quietly hid the peach blossom wine behind him, and then smiled, "Welcome, Your Majesty. I didn't know of your arrival, please forgive me."
"Tsk…" the red haired woman sneered disdainfully, and shook her head when she saw Gong Shu Jie's little act of hiding wine.
"Gong Shu Jie, you are so dishonest. How can you not share such good wine? Do you want to drink it alone?"
Gong Shu Jie coughed and said, "Your Majesty, you came all the way from the capital. There must be something important. I won't drink this wine today. I'll arrange the kitchen to make a banquet for you."
The red-haired woman sneered again, "Since you got the guidance of the Wolf God, you have become more and more slippery… I don't need you to prepare the banquet, I'm not free. This time I came to Thousand Needle City because I'm too bored, so I come to have a look."
"You made a great deal of trouble in Thousand Needle City, which made those old men cry every day to me, so annoying."
"If you are really so cruel, just cut down those annoying old guys directly, so that they won't bother me."
When the red-haired woman said such words half-seriously and half-jokingly, Gai Yin suddenly sweated on his forehead and felt a little nervous.
Gong Shu Jie frowned slightly, but there was not much expression change.
Facing the red-haired woman in front of him, his attitude was still respectful, "Don't joke, Your Majesty. What Gong Shu Jie did in Ten Thousand Needle city is moral and has absolutely no selfishness. If you have orders, you can speak frankly, and I will obey."
Gong Shu Jie's attitude was not fake, but the red-haired woman still disdained it.
"Come on, come on, don't give me this trick. I'm not here to trouble you this time."
"I've been staying in Ten Thousand Needle city for half a month, and I've almost understood what you are doing. You did a good job, and I support you."
"As for whether you will be dismembered like that Wei Yang in the story… Ha ha… You'd better pray for more luck."
The red-haired woman said, "But if you can manage the Thousand Needle city well, the reform you implemented in the Thousand Needle city may be promoted in the entire country in the future. I'll come to you then, and you can't refuse."
When saying this, the red haired woman's expression was serious.
Gong Shu Jie was silent for a while, and gave a deep salute, "This Gong Shu Jie will never refuse a righteous cause."
"Well, it's enough to have your word," said the woman in red with a smile again. "With your promise, even if I can't drink the spirit wine, I'm satisfied."
With that, the woman in red walked out laughing.
Came suddenly, and left suddenly.
Gong Shu Jie hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you stay for a few days and let me personally introduce the city to you? You can also have an in-depth understanding of the reform."
But the red-haired woman just waved her hand and said without looking back, "Will I be able to drink the spirit wine if I stay here? If not, I'd better leave…"
"You can do whatever you have to do. Don't worry about me. I won't chop off your head in the middle of the night."
As the voice fell, the woman disappeared from their vision.
With the cultivation bases of Gong Shu Jie and Gai Yin, they couldn't see how she left and disappeared. For this woman, the heavily guarded Fire God Temple is nothing.
In the cold wind, Gong Shu Jie sighed and said, "Her Majesty's cultivation base has become more refined…"
