The Portal of Wonderland

“How will I find you afterwards?” Shepherd frowned.

“The King will remain here for three days, after which he will leave the Xihe mainland.” The Ape King said.

“Senior is leaving Nishiha?” Ishima was a little surprised.

“The great war between the demonic and barbarian communities has been arrows on the strings, but it is no longer simply a war between the demonic and barbarian communities... Ben Wang is old and has no energy to take care of many of these.” The Ape King replied in an understated manner.

“" On the northern side of the continent, off the eastern coast, there is an island of Heling. The King will be waiting for you there for the next year. If you want to come with me, go there and find me. But then, teach me the first half of the first turn of the Nine Turns of Xuan Gong. As for the second half, give it to me when we leave Blue Starfish safely. It's fair to both of us. What do you think? ”

“Yes.” Ishima nodded, thinking only for a moment.

“But if a year later, you don't make it, the king won't wait for you for another day. To be honest, this king has the blood of his ancestors, but also fears of retribution from his ancestors. So by then, with or without you, the king will be leaving Blue Starfish. I might be able to find another way to survive.” The Ape King glanced at Ishima, adding.

“Well, I know the seniors' determination. If the seniors still have things to do, they won't stay much longer.” Ishima answered with an indifferent response and, after holding her fist, turned around and left.

The ape king looked at the back of Shi Lian's departure and suddenly looked white, then bent over and coughed sharply.

……

Six months later.

Continent of Eastern Europe, the ancient capital of Western Xia, Quyang City.

A man dressed in a grey robe walked down the street in the city, wearing a bracelet.

A thick layer of green moss has been produced on the roofs of a number of collapsed houses with broken walls on the sides of the streets following the burning of flames.

Many of the collapsed courtyards have grown tall and low trees, some with well-developed roots, and have even extended their rootstocks into the middle of the road, holding up the pavement with a big, uplifting bag.

The men's steps were not great, but they walked surprisingly fast. Less than half an hour, they walked a few blocks.

On the road, however, there are few pedestrians.

A few walks to the inner city, the street condition is only better, many houses and buildings are newly built at a glance, from time to time you can see various kinds of small pavements on both sides of the street, and the merchants circulating inside are no longer aware.

The sounds of the various accents rang along the street added a little anger to this devastated ancient city, but the bustling scene a few years ago was finally impossible to see again.

The men did not stop too much in the street and came straight to the East End.

Strangely enough, the scenery of the eastern city is much better than the other neighborhoods seen along the way, only some ruined buildings on the outskirts of the city, to the central location, is almost exactly the same as it was before the disaster.

Just as the fire did not spread here.

Upon arriving at Xikong Street in East City District, the tall and prominent building immediately appeared in the blindfold, with a large plaque above the attic, and the book "Tianwu Shop”.

The man walked into the attic, and there were not many customers in the building, and three or two guys were doing their jobs.

“Despicable appliances are complete, sir. What can I get you?” A young steward came to the door and greeted him immediately, smiling on his face.

“Please take me to Master Xu Luzi.” The man in the cup said.

“I am truly sorry, Elder Xu is closing the refinery room at this time. If you need anything, it can be communicated by future generations.” The manager looked up and down at the man in front of him and said with a smile.

The man in the bracelet didn't say a word, and with one hand flipped, he had one more thing in his hand.

It's a crystal clear orange jade with an eight-sided monster pattern engraved on it and flexibly displayed.

“The guest of honor is here, please excuse me. Your Excellency, I will brief you shortly.” The young steward's eyes swept away and his face changed quickly, he said.

A moment later, the man in the brass, led by the young manager, came to the third floor of the shop, in an elegant room.

There is a simple layout in the elegant room, a round table is placed in front of the three-stacked screen depicting gold, and Xu Luzi, dressed in a robe, is sitting at the round table drinking tea.

“I don't know who you are. What can I do for you?” Luzi Xu did not get up at first sight. He took a sip of the teacup and asked.

The man in the cup stood in front of him and did not speak.

Xu Luzi waved, the young administrator was willing to go out and shut the door.

The door “squeaked” closed, without waiting for Xu Luzi to open it again, the man had removed the cape on his head, revealing a clear outline of the five officials and a young face with slightly darker skin.

“Ishima!” Xu Luzi slipped slightly and then went out of the way.

“I didn't expect to see it for many years, Master Xu can still remember it. I wonder how the master has been?” Ishima asked with a smile.

“Oh, not bad, not bad. Eh, I didn't expect Shi Daoyou to make such rapid progress, but he has advanced to the upper echelons.” Xu Ruzi was just about to say something, and suddenly he was soft-hearted.

“After I left the East Asian continent, I encountered some adventures and was lucky.” Stoneshepherd played a ha-ha-ha.

In fact, what he did not say was that in the last six months, because of the words of the Ape King, his mood was greatly affected, so the Red Ape Fire could not break through the tenth floor, otherwise there would already be a middle stage at this moment.

“Shi Daoyou was too modest to say that the so-called luck was also part of his strength. Come on, sit over here and say it.” Luzi Xu was reluctant to talk or ask Ishima more, and hurried to greet him to sit down.

“Master Xu, I'm here to ask you about someone.” Ishima sat down and said.

“Who is it?” asked Xu Ruzi.

“Zhong Xiu.” Stoneshepherd said.

“You're talking about Elder Chung, right?” Xu Luzi's eyebrows rose and asked.

“Exactly, Master, can you hear from her here?” Stoneshepherd said.

Xu Luzi shook his head directly while listening.

“Please also ask Master Xu to tell me that he is willing to pay no matter what the cost.” Stone Pastor Archer said.

“To be honest, it's not that my husband won't tell you, it's just that the Chamber of Commerce is anxious to hear from her.” Ruzi Xu sighed.

“Even your Tianwu Merchant Association intelligence network throughout the continent doesn't know where she is?” Ishima asked.

“The old man is telling the truth. Speaking of which, Elder Chung is exceptionally qualified and is a person to whom the Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance. During the period of Xihe Mainland, he established a number of merits for the Chamber of Commerce. There was news that the president wanted to vigorously cultivate him, deliberately to serve as the demonic envoy, and then let him lead the auction in Asahi City.” Xu Ruzi said, looking at Shimaki's side.

“Yes, Zhong Xiu was with me during the auction.” Shi Liam said.

“Well, not long after the auction, Elder Chung disappeared strangely. At that time, there will be speculation that this may be related to you. But never thought, not long afterwards, the Chamber of Commerce sent word that you were missing.” Ruzi Xu asked.

“Does Master Xu think that Zhong Xiu's disappearance has anything to do with this?” Stoneshepherd said.

“Oh, the Chamber of Commerce has long since verified your suspicion. Without concealing Shi Daoyou, during the agreement between Elder Zhong and the Chamber of Commerce, no matter where she is, the despicable meeting had the means to detect her location through the secretary, which was intended for security reasons.” Xu Luzi waved.

“Do you have her exact location today?” Stone herding brow tip picked and asked hastily.

“After the disappearance of Elder Chung, several attempts were made to find him using secretarial techniques, but the result was that no trace was found. Elder Zhong is like evaporating from the world.” Xu Luzi shook his head.

“Actually, I was with Zhong Xiu when she disappeared.” The stone herd was slightly silent and then said so.

“What exactly happened then?” Luzi Xu was shocked.

“On that day, Zhong Xiu suddenly fell into a coma and burned all over himself. A moment later, a flame of bears was lit on his body. I tried to save her, but I was caught in flames, and I couldn't stand the heat to faint. When I woke up, Zhong Xiu disappeared.” The stone herd frowned, silenced halfway, or spoke.

Shi Mu told Xu Ruzi more or less about the day, but naturally he didn't mention that he absorbed the flame.

“There is such a thing...” Ruzi Xu heard, frowning and caught a deep thought.

“By the way, there was a strange thing going on during my coma.” Shi Lian said.

“What's weird?” Ruzi Xu asked.

“After I fainted, I was bewildered to hear the voice of a strange woman and to hear what she had mentioned about Tianfeng and what had gone wrong. But I was half unconscious and half awake, and I couldn't really hear it.” Ishima said.

“According to the old man, Elder Chung, she may have been the force of blood in the body that caused a secondary awakening.” Luzi Xu listened to Shi Mu and said after a moment of silence.

“Second awakening?” Shi Liam Yi.

“The reasons for the so-called secondary awakening of the bloodline are complex, mostly due to the insufficiently thorough force of the bloodline during initial awakening of the bloodline. However, according to the situation of the elder clock this time, the blood in his body, I'm afraid, is not Phoenix blood.” Xu Zilu said.

“Not Phoenix Bloodline. What's that?” Ishima asked.

“Although these three pints of Phoenix blood are also unusual rare blood, it is never so dangerous to wake up. Combined with what the mysterious strange woman said, Elder Chung has awakened the legendary elite blood" Phoenix Tianfeng ". Only these levels of blood can attract many visions, putting the awakened person in danger of nine deaths and a lifetime.” Ruzi Xu said.

“Tianfeng blood? I wonder how much Master Xu knows about this bloodline?” Shi Lian thought for a moment and asked.
