Chapter 1003 Ming Dynasty
"Jia Gui, thank you for your hard work. This matter is of great importance. Please stay out of the way."
Xiang Shang issued an order to expel guests. Jia Gui did not dare to ask more questions and left the king's bedroom. However, he did not go far and stayed outside.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Xiang Shang opened a mechanism beside the bed.
The entire royal bed sank into the ground, and a downward passage appeared.
"Marquis Champion, please follow me."
Xiang Shang led Zhou Ran into the passage. After the two entered, the passage outside automatically restored and the royal bed returned to its original state.
Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Why is Shang Guo's Shura Pillar under the king's palace?"
Xiang Shang sighed and said: "The Antarctic Immortal ordered the Lord of the Inner Territory to guard the turbid breath. I dare not forget this important task for a moment. Only by sleeping on the Shura Pillar can I feel at ease."
While talking, Xiang Shang had already brought Zhou Ran to the front of Shang Guo's Shura Pillar.
Zhou Ran looked at this Shura Pillar. It was no different from the Shura Pillars in Jingguo, Qingguo, and Songguo in the west. The patterns on the Shura Pillar were lifelike and vivid.
Xiang Shang added: "After reaching an agreement with you, I came to the Shura Pillar and wanted to strengthen the seal of the Shura Pillar, but I found something abnormal in the center of the Shura Pillar. Even I don't know what happened. Only by asking you to come here can I answer my questions."
"Is the center of the column abnormal?"
Zhou Ran's face darkened, and he reached out his hand and took out the core of the Shangguo Shura Pillar.
The center of this pillar was exactly the same as the center of the Jingguo Shura Pillar that he had seen, but it was just the appearance. Zhou Ran's eyes were sharp and he quickly discovered the abnormality.
"Your Majesty, is this pillar incomplete?" Zhou Ran asked.
"Champion Marquis, you can actually know this kind of thing at a glance!" Xiang Shang was stunned, but he did not hide anything and told Zhu Xin's secret, "According to the records of Shang Guo's ancient documents, the pillars of the Shura Pillar of the Three Kingdoms in the South are The heart is connected with the branches, and each pillar heart is only one-third of the complete pillar heart. Only when the three pillar hearts are put together can it be considered complete."
"So that's it." Xiang Shang's words made Zhou Ran suddenly realize, "If my guess is correct, the reason why this pillar core is abnormal is because someone wanted to steal it, but unfortunately, it failed in the end. ”
"How can this be!"
Xiang Shang couldn't believe his ears.
The Shura Pillar is under his own palace and is tightly guarded. Even a powerful immortal cannot steal it easily, right?
Zhou Ran looked solemn and said: "That's exactly what happened. This person was able to evade the palace guards and steal the pillar heart without anyone noticing. It shows that this person is extremely powerful. It's a pity that the pillar hearts of the Three Kingdoms in the South are originally one body." , this person could not steal a pillar core alone, so he returned without success, and the pillar core was preserved. "
Zhou Ran's words shocked Xiang Shang into a cold sweat.
Xiang Shangcheng said in fear: "Prince Champion, who is trying to steal the core of the pillar? Could it be that the Sword Sect already knows about the agreement between the Three Kingdoms and is trying to destroy the sword formation, so it is obstructing it?"
"Well, we don't know yet. However, if the Shura Pillar of the Three Kingdoms in the South cannot function, it will be impossible to break the Sword Sect's Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation. This matter cannot be delayed! Lord King, do you have a way to repair the Shura Pillar?"
Xiang Shang thought for a while and said: "It may take half a month to repair the Shura Pillar using ancient methods. I will also contact Xu State and ask the leader of Xu State to follow the same method. However, Ming State, one of the three countries in the south, is in some trouble."
"What does this mean?"
"Shangguo and Xuguo have been in Zuo for a long time, and the secrets of the Shura Pillar are inherited from the same origin. The two kings can naturally repair the Shura Pillar. But the Ming Kingdom is different. Due to continuous wars,
The royal family came to power alternately, and the capital was constantly moved, so that even the location of the Shura Pillar could no longer be found! You saw it last time. The current leader of the Ming Kingdom is just a puppet of the general. He doesn’t know anything about the Shura Pillar and the Turbid Breath. It will be even more difficult for the Ming Kingdom to strengthen the seal of the Shura Pillar and control the Turbid Breath. Disaster. "
Xiang Shang looked bitter.
In the past, Shangguo had always ignored the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, but now, the three southern kingdoms were tied by a rope. It would be bad if the Jianzong dominated the southern border because of the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
"My lord, do you want me to go to the Ming Dynasty?" Zhou Ran said directly.
"Yes." Xiang Shang nodded heavily, "This matter is of great importance, and I'm afraid no one can do it except you! No one knows the location of the Shura Pillar of the Ming Dynasty. I hope you can find the Shura Pillar of the Ming Dynasty and strengthen it. Seal to suppress the turbid breath. I will also exchange information with the leader of the Xu Kingdom and use the power of the Shura Pillars of the two countries to weaken the turbid breath, hoping to help break the Sword Sect's sword formation."
"I go!"
Zhou Ran responded.
Although the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, its territory was quite large. Finding the Shura Pillar in this territory was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But no one can do this except yourself.
It is very important to defeat Jian Zong and suppress the turbid breath. In this case, it is naturally his duty to do so.
"Thank you so much, Champion. On behalf of the people of the three southern kingdoms, I would like to thank you!"
With that said, Xiang Shang handed Zhou Ran some bamboo slips.
Several pieces of bamboo slips have long been rotten, but the words on the bamboo slips can be clearly seen.
It is exactly the method of repairing the Shura Pillar recorded in the ancient books of Shangguo.
"The Champion, after finding the Shura Pillar of the Ming Dynasty, follow this technique to repair the Shura Pillar, and the turbid breath in the southern realm can be controlled."
"Um."
Zhou Ran put the bamboo slips into the Qiankun Ring.
Going to Ming, it seems that he is looking for Ming Shura Pillar, but Zhou Ran knows very well that things are not that simple.
Since someone has reached out to Shang Shura Pillar, it means that Xu Shura Pillar and Ming Shura Pillar are also in this person's plan.
Unfortunately, since the pillar cores of the three kingdoms Shura Pillar are originally one, it is not possible to steal one alone, and all three must be stolen at the same time.
In other words, the thief may be looking for the whereabouts of Shura Pillar in Ming. If he finds it, he will steal the pillar core of Shura Pillar in three places at the same time.
In this way, he will run into that person.
"Lord of Turbid Breath, I wonder who you will send this time? You won't come in person, will you?"
Zhou Ran said to himself. He had guessed that the theft of the pillar core of the three kingdoms in the southern border was related to the Lord of Turbid Breath.
The pillar cores of the three kingdoms in the western border are in the hands of the Lord of Turbid Breath. Sooner or later, he will find the Lord of Turbid Breath to settle this account.
The opponent is a strong man in the realm of immortals. In the past, I could not deal with the Lord of Turbid Breath.
But now, I have entered the ninth level of Yuhua, so I am naturally not inferior to the Lord of Turbid Breath.
What is coming will always come. The Lord of Turbid Breath is the root of the troubles in the inner domain. Killing him will solve the problem once and for all, and I will no longer worry about the flood of turbid breath.
