Rules of Heaven - C38

When Ding Hong saw the young man glance at him, intentionally or unintentionally, he didn’t know what that meant. He decided to follow and see what he was up to. There were still many people on the street, and the place was bustling with noise and excitement. The young man walked onto the street and sized up a few items. He seemed to be very interested in those items. After a while, he arrived at a remote alley with a tea shop inside. There was no one in the shop at the moment. He sat there naturally and said, “Two cups of tea.”

The owner of the teahouse was an old man with a head full of scabs. The scum had already spread all over his face, making him look like a toad from afar. It was so disgusting. When he heard the young man ask for tea, he asked, “What kind of tea does Your Highness Pei Gui want?”

This youth was called Pei Gui. He smiled and said: “Of course it’s the best. Welcome to our place.”

“As expected, the Young Master saw that I was coming.” Ding Hong slowly appeared from behind the table. Thinking that it was not good to refuse others’ treatment, he sat down opposite him.

Pei Gui cupped his hands and smiled: “Regarding my actions yesterday, I will apologize here first.”

The old man brought the tea over, but it was dark. What was this tea? However, when Ding Hong saw the tea, his eyes lit up. He asked curiously, “Was it made with the Nether Grass?”

The old man’s hand paused as he asked in surprise, “Young Master knows him?”

Ding Hong said, “You are born in the South China Sea, black. Drinking it normally can improve the circulation of human blood. I wonder if what I have said is correct? ”

This time, not only was the old man surprised, but even the Puppet was a little surprised.

Ding Hong smiled and then said to Pei Gui, “He called you Your Highness just now, that woman should be Princess Fu Sang, right? I wonder if it’s the Princess Feather Butterfly who will be competing in the Groom Search Competition tomorrow? ”

Peregrine waved the old man off. He said, “Young master is so lucky, I was able to deduce all the facts with a few words. Yesterday, that girl was my Seventh Sister, Xihuang. Royal father gave her the title of Feather Butterfly because he wanted her to be like a butterfly in water. “Sigh …” He shook his head.

Ding Hong was not in the mood to listen to him talk about this matter. What’s the meaning of bringing a bunch of people to my place and shooting that deadly volley of crossbow bolts? He said, “Your Highness, why did you bring a group of guards to my residence so late at night?” He looked at Pei Gui with a calm face.

To be honest, Ding Hong’s anger had not completely dissipated yet as he had been following this line just now. It was already considered good that he didn’t immediately burst out with a sword, let alone pretending to be calm as he drank tea here.

Pei Gui could naturally feel Ding Hong’s coldness and did not mind. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said, “Since young master has said so, then I will not hide anymore.” My royal father cares a lot about the intelligence that young master wanted yesterday, he wants me to kill those who desecrate the divine birds. “But …” He originally had a serious face, but suddenly changed his tone and fiercely said, “But what is that divine bird?! Even though it was worshiped every year, it still left the Fusang Tree to wander around. Not only did it disturb the fear of the common people, it even split the ground within a hundred miles of the Fusang Tree, creating an accumulation of yellow sand! What use would the divine bird have it?! ”

He glanced at Ding Hong’s reaction, and suddenly said, “I wonder what Young Master wants all the information about the Divine Bird Golden Crow?”

Ding Hong also did not want to hide it from him, so there was no need for him to hide it.

Pei Gui let out a mischievous laugh, and his face suddenly turned dark as he said, “Young Master, if you want to forge a sword, you need a part of this Divine Bird Golden Crow’s body, right?”

Ding Hong did not know what he meant, but seeing his expression turn so dark, he frowned and said, “Perhaps.”

Pei Gui picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and said: “Young Master, you and I can join hands to kill this Golden Crow Divine Bird. Take whatever you need.”

Ding Hong was stunned for a moment. He had not expected him to say such words. He couldn’t help but size up the situation and asked doubtfully, “As the prince of Fu Sang, why did you kill the Divine Bird Golden Crow?”

Pei Gui took another sip and shook his head to savor the aftertaste. Raising his head to look at Ding Hong, he slowly said, “Naturally, it is the throne.”

Hearing him talk about the throne, Ding Hong couldn’t help but stand up and look at him. After a long time, he said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll denounce you after you have explained it so clearly?”

Pi Gui laughed. “Naturally, I’m not afraid. If I’m willing to say it, then of course, I’m confident that my young master won’t say anything.” Even if the young master were to spread the news, how many people would believe the words of a blasphemer like you? ”

This person was such a scheming person! He did not have to pay a price to reveal his background. After looking at him for a while, Ding Hong sat back down and also took a few sips of tea.

Seeing him so relaxed, Pei Gui laughed and said: “Young Master is really courageous, just a few words from a moment ago was just a joke. The young master’s backing is probably far above us, the Fusang Country! How could I dare to offend such a powerful being like Young Master? ”

A powerful force? Ding Hong thought for a moment. It should be the actions that Zi did yesterday. But thinking about it, now that he had entered the time tribulation and dared to fight against the Netherworld and the Perception Curse, he knew just how great the power of the time tribulation was. Furthermore, there were definitely more than just these twelve tribulations as the main force of the tribulation! He had a solid backing now. In the future, if they were to meet any powerful figures, who knew how many people they would be scared off if they tried to rob them.

Thus, Ding Hong only smiled and did not reply.

Pei Gui said: “Tomorrow is the day that my sister, Xi Huang, will be competing in the Groom Search Competition, so I’m sure there won’t be any good results. So this brother of mine will be there to watch over her, in case she goes overboard. Young Master can also come and visit tomorrow. ” After taking a sip of tea, he continued, “A mile away from the north gate of the city of Fusang is the Sunflower River. There’s a small pavilion by the river; we’ll meet there the next day and head for the Golden Crow.”

There was still plenty of time to calculate, so Ding Hong said, “Sure.”

Pei Gui nodded, stood up and cupped his hands, and said: “It is already late, I still need to report to royal father, and will be leaving now. “Goodbye young master.”

Ding Hong also cupped his hands and said, “Goodbye.”

Peregrine turned and disappeared into the dark alley.

Ding Hong looked at the figure of Pei Gui, his heart full of fear. This person had come without a trace, and he didn’t even know his true strength. The scariest thing was that his mind wasn’t clear. He let out a breath, took another sip of the water, and left as well.

Not long after he left, Pei Gui suddenly walked out from the alley. The tall and big black-armored guard was still following him. At this moment, the guard held a seven feet tall gigantic black iron sword in his hands, and stood beside him like a god.

Pei Gui looked at Ding Hong’s leaving shadow and asked, “Black Tower, what do you think of this person’s strength?”

The Black Iron Guard at the side said, “He seems to have grasped a little of the circulation of the Spiritual Energy of the world. Moreover, the blood in his body seems to have some sort of mystery, as if it will never run dry. Moreover, this person seemed to have two terrifying sword intents on him, perhaps even he himself did not notice them. However, at this time, there is no other choice. We can only use his blood and the blood of Ji Feng, who will complete the final step of the fusion, to improve that formation. ”

Pei Gui looked at the disappearing figure in the distance and snorted coldly.

Ding Hong found a random inn and entered. He asked for a room, but didn’t stay there. He put on his butterfly mask and went to another inn to stay. The reason for this was because he did not trust that puppet at all. Ding Hong had a feeling that this person would not find him so easily. How could someone who was willing to talk so casually about seizing the throne care only for the king of an island? He was afraid that he had the intention to compete in this world!

Ding Hong was sitting alone in his room. He did not light the lamp. He was trying to figure out what Pei Gui was trying to do, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure it out. After thinking for a long time, he decided not to think about it anymore. He took out the small bottle that he brought from Penglai and took a sip of the liquid inside. He immediately felt refreshed, and the worry he had just now was mostly gone.

“Hmm?”

He suddenly looked towards the window. He saw a black bug slowly crawling in through the gap between the windows. The insect was completely black, and could not be detected at night. Ding Hong also took advantage of the moment when the liquid was raising his spirit to discover that thing. When he saw the insect, his face changed.

The old woman insect specifically mentioned it when she introduced Huaiyou. This worm was called a worm, and it had a sweet and serene smell to it. Even if it was within a ten mile radius, the worm could still track it. Ding Hong looked at the insect with an ashen face, but after a long while, he breathed out and said to himself, “I would like to see what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve.”

Ding Hong sat like this all the way until dawn of the next day, so he was exceptionally clear on what had happened that night. Around midnight, he heard footsteps coming and going outside. Before dawn, the streets were bustling with activity. He went to the window and opened it. There were many merchants on the streets today, and most of the pedestrians were outsiders. The reason they were considered outsiders was because many of them were carrying bags, while the others were carrying swords and other tools.

Could it be that all these people were here for the Groom Search Competition of the Feather Butterfly?

Ding Hong couldn’t help but start to get curious about the appearance of the Feather Butterfly. The woman who wore fiery red clothes the night before was probably the so-called Princess Feather Butterfly. Her name seemed to be Xi Huang, and she really should be observed on that day.

After a while, the sky brightened up. Only then did Ding Hong leave the inn. At this time, there were more pedestrians on the street, and the peddlers crowded the street even more. The moment Ding Hong came out, he immediately recalled the scene when he was watching the lanterns at night in Ji Mo County.

The Imperial Palace of Fu Sang was different from the mainland, because it was underground. However, Ding Hong was a little curious. Even if the underground palace was even bigger, how could it hold so many people? After a while, when they were almost at the entrance to the palace, Ding Hong put on his Golden Butterfly Mask again.

The entrance to the palace was between two boulders that rose up to cross each other. When Ding Hong arrived, he found that the number of people had decreased. Moreover, there were also some people whispering to each other.

When the brown robed man saw Ding Hong, he walked in and asked, “Young Master, do you want to participate in the Groom Search Competition?”

Ding Hong shook his head and said, “I’m just going to watch.”

The official did not stop him and only replied, “Young master, please look at the entrance. There is a mysterious wall at the entrance. If Young Master is strong enough, you can go in. If not, Young Master will be stuck outside.”

There was such a magical wall? Ding Hong did not voice this thought out loud. He thanked the official for his reminder and walked straight in. When the surrounding people saw that someone was about to enter, they hastily stepped aside and whispered to each other.

“Do you think he can go in?”

“I don’t know.”

“It should be possible. Just now, Young Master Cheng also entered with ease.”

“Master Chen? Why didn’t you say anything about him? He looked calm and collected, but he couldn’t even walk when he came across a wall. ”

“Why are you …”

Suddenly, someone hurriedly said, “Look, look! He’s gone in! He’s gone in!”

The group of people immediately made all sorts of noises. There was excitement, happiness, and disappointment. However, Ding Hong had never seen such a wonderful expression. He only felt that after taking a few steps, he suddenly came across a very gentle thin film. “Then, a thin layer of water covered her whole body, and she came to a very grand passage.

The tunnel was five or six Zhang wide, and by the side of the tunnel was an endless abyss. The bottom couldn’t be seen at all. And there was no end to the tunnel. This passageway seemed to extend from this part of the void that extended into the darkness. Ding Hong frowned when he saw this scene. This was not something an ordinary person could create. Not to mention the palaces of Zhou and Qi, even if all the palaces were combined together, they would still be incomparable to Fu Sang’s palaces.

“Hah, little brother, are you praising this Fusang Imperial Palace for their magic?” Suddenly, a burly, heavily bearded man with two bronze mace that were seven feet long spoke from behind him.

Ding Hong could not help but ask curiously, “How did this warrior know?”

The big man laughed. His laughter was as shocking as a large bell. He said, “Look at your expression, anyone would want to see it. However, little brother, you don’t have to worry about why this palace is so grand. ”

“Why?” Ding Hong was puzzled.

The big man laughed, “Because the rumors say that Fu Sang’s palace is a palace left behind by a great sacred art expert of the recent ancient era. Afterwards, the first generation Fusang’s country lord, Yan Long, used his profound cultivation to occupy this palace and began to gather ordinary mortals around it. “After a long time, the other monks saw that his power was already deeply rooted and decided not to fight over it anymore.”

Flame Dragon, Peregrine Puppet, Phoenix Peregrine. Ding Hong’s mind flashed, but he discovered that the names of the people from the Fusang Royal Family were different. He could not help but frown and ask, “Does this warrior know why the people of the Fusang royal family do not have a fixed surname?”

Hearing his question, the big man thought for a while and said, “Little brother, let’s talk as we walk. There’s quite a bit of distance to be covered in this tunnel. ”

Ding Hong nodded and said, “Alright.”

Seeing that Ding Hong had agreed, the big man smiled and walked away first, followed by Ding Hong.
