Chapter 450 Breaking the Gong
In the high mountains at the junction of the southern border of the Dayan Dynasty and the Great Wilderness, a towering tower towering into the clouds straddles the sky and the earth.
This is one of the sixteen "war fortresses" built by the entire sect at the end of the Great Tribulation of the White Walkers ten thousand years ago to prevent the White Walkers from coming back from the wilderness.
To this day, the traces of the other fifteen giant towers have completely disappeared from the world over thousands of years. Only the one that was transformed by the Jiantian Pavilion into its own mountain gate is still standing in the world, with the cracks at the lower end of the tower telling the story of the catastrophe of that year. Caused by the devastation of life.
Looking down at most of the towering tower through the window lattice of the flight loft, Zhou Bowen, who was sitting alone in front of the window and sipping tea, could not help but reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes.
No matter how many times I see it, I am still amazed by this ingenious creation.
The tower is thick and towering, with various complex patterns engraved on it, and countless giant flying beasts hovering on the side like sparrows in front of it.
After staring quietly for more than ten breaths, Zhou Bowen slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed softly.
He remembered that ancient books recorded that the former site of Jiantian Pavilion was once a huge tower thousands of years ago.
A huge tower called Supervising Heaven, which is even more majestic and larger than the one in front of you.
It is a pity that the former site was destroyed by the turmoil of the White Walkers thousands of years ago, but it was not destroyed by the hands of the White Walkers, but by the man-made disasters that followed.
The thoughts in his heart were lingering, but soon, Zhou Bowen's thoughts were interrupted by a sound transmission coming into the attic.
"Elder Zhou has been waiting for a long time. The cabinet chief wants to see you."
Hearing this, Zhou Bowen's divergent eyes suddenly condensed, the fat on his face trembled, and he looked in the direction of the sound.
As far as his eyes could see, he could not see any human figure, but on top of the tower dozens of feet away from the Qinghuang Pavilion under his seat, Fatty Zhou did see a deep corridor that was slowly unfolding.
The spiral stone door contracted and opened in all directions, and a dark corridor with a diameter of dozens of feet came into view.
As a former war fortress, the middle and upper floors of the giant tower have many "airports" for flying monsters to land, and the corridor in front of you is obviously one of them.
As soon as his thoughts changed, his mind and soul came out, and the blue phoenix bird underneath it immediately let out a loud cry, then spread its wings and slowly fell into it.
The green phoenix bird settled down in the huge corridor. As soon as Zhou Bowen walked down from the attic, a man wearing the uniform of the deacon of Jiantian Pavilion came up to him, his voice was respectful:
"Elder Zhou, I will take care of your mount for you. Please come this way. Elder Li Yang will take you to the top of the tower where the Pavilion Master is."
Zhou Bowen nodded slightly and followed the other person, while his small, squinting eyes lit up with a faint light and swept around, and then a little surprise was revealed in them.
The layout inside this dark corridor is somewhat similar to a stable in the secular world.
Compared to the mortal stable, this place is much larger. Dozens of war monsters lie in rows among the dark iron bars on both sides.
Zhou Bowen remembered that there were dozens of tower levels like this in the giant tower.
That is to say,
Just in this huge tower, thousands of various monsters used in war have been raised.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bowen's eyes flashed with helplessness.
Having raised so many monsters of all kinds, it is self-evident what the Pavilion Master wants to do.
But after thinking about it, Zhou Bowen felt relieved.
At present, basically all forces in the entire Dayan Dynasty are engaged in armaments. If you only focus on making money and supplies, when a war really breaks out, you will become the breadbasket of the family.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Bowen was quickly led out of the corridor by the deacon of Jiantian Pavilion. After meeting the elder named Li Yang, he went through the complicated layout in the giant tower several times. Finally, after walking up a long spiral staircase, we arrived at the top of the tower.
Clouds and mist surged above the top of the tower, and numerous patterns were engraved on the ground. A woman in a white dress was standing on the edge of the tower, looking up to the north. Her dress and long hair were floating in the air with the cold current high in the sky. Flying and floating.
Looking sideways at the graceful and graceful woman's back, and then glancing at Li Yang standing on the same spot, Zhou Bowen asked in a low voice:
“Brother Li Yang, aren’t you going?”
Li Yang shook his head slightly:
"The master of the pavilion only said that he wanted to see you, so Li took his leave first."
Having said that,
Fatty Zhou watched as the other party disappeared from the top of the tower without looking back.
Smacking his lips, Zhou Bowen slowly moved forward, came to stand three feet behind the woman, took out the spiritual celestial instrument from the Sumeru Ring, held it up with both hands, and bowed deeply:
"Pavilion Master, this is what the Supreme Master asked Zhou to return to you before he died."
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Tianyuan slowly turned his eyes and looked at the fat elder behind him with indifferent eyes, but did not speak.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Bowen felt a little sweaty.
Sometimes, silent gaze can make people uneasy, especially when there are ghosts in people's hearts.
He had to come back again.
But fortunately, Tianyuan’s calm voice came over soon:
"Failed?"
"yes."
Fatty Zhou lowered his head and stood still, but his heartbeat was quietly accelerating.
He was a little afraid that the master of the pavilion would say to him at this moment, "Since you failed, why are you still alive?"
After all, the entire assassination operation can be said to be a complete failure.
Not only provoked the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also lost manpower, and even accelerated the evolution of the disaster to a certain extent.
As the only surviving Jiantian Pavilion elder among the five assassins, Zhou Bowen is undoubtedly the only person to be held accountable.
There was silence for a moment,
Zhou Bowen suddenly felt that his hand was empty, and the spiritual heavenly instrument was taken away from the air, and then Tianyuan's voice without any emotion came again:
“I have anticipated this.”
Hearing this, Zhou Bowen's lowered eyes instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the master of the pavilion is not prepared to hold me accountable.
However, the words of his answer could not help but make him feel doubtful.
Already expected
What's the meaning?
With his brows slightly furrowed, Zhou Bowen slowly raised his eyes, looked at the pavilion master in front of him who seemed to be untainted by any mundane dust, and asked:
“Master, do you know that we will fail in this trip?”
Tianyuan looked at the other party calmly, her voice was light and gentle:
“The beginning of the disaster has been determined. If you want to change your destiny, it will be difficult.”
Zhou Bowen frowned even more when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he exhaled a thick breath and whispered:
“Since you know the result, Lord, why do you still?”
“This is an inevitable attempt.”
“Just for one try, I caught up with three mortals”
ˆ “.”
The gaze without any emotion made Zhou Bowen's heart tremble. He quickly lowered his eyes and whispered:
“Subordinates have transgressed.”
Tianyuan held the spiritual instrument in his hand, slowly turned around, and looked towards the north again:
“Go down.”
Zhou Bowen was slightly hesitant after hearing this:
“Pavilion Master, my subordinates have not yet reported the specific process of this trip and the disaster that Xu Changtian has experienced.”
Tianyuan looked at the distant sky and spoke softly:
“I will summon you again later, the saint will be here soon.”
ˆ “.”
Zhou Bowen understood instantly after hearing this.
The Saint was ordered to go to the Imperial Capital, but now she disobeyed the order and returned, obviously for the purpose of assassinating Xu Changtian.
In a moment,
At the top of the huge tower, only Tianyuan's lonely and independent silhouette was left standing silently.
Time passed by seconds, and half a quarter of an hour later, a golden escaping light came into Tianyuan's field of vision.
The escaping light pierced the sky and reached the top of the tower in an instant.
Standing in the sky at the top of the giant tower, the girl looked at the indifferent master below, biting the corners of her lips with small tiger teeth.
logue
Tianyuan’s light and soft voice sounded softly:
“Come down.”
Tian Yan did not move after hearing the words, still standing in the void, the eyes in his golden eyes were extremely complex, he gritted his teeth and asked:
“Tianyuan,
"Why?"
ˆ “.”
Hearing this title, Tianyuan's divine golden eyes still showed no emotion.
Both the saint and the pavilion master act on behalf of heaven, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. They can call the master according to secular ethics, or they can call him by his name according to the law of supervising heaven.
After a little silence, Tianyuan did not deny it, but asked in a clear voice:
“Why do you think it is?”
Tian Yan’s slender body trembled slightly, and her crisp voice was low:
“Disaster is only a small part of the reasons. The beginning of a great catastrophe does not necessarily mean that it is the catastrophe itself.”
Tianyuan looked at the tangled expression on the girl’s face and softened her tone:
“I know this.”
Hearing this, Tian Yan’s fists under his sleeves clenched slightly:
“Since you also know about this, why must you forcefully assassinate me?”
“You think I did something wrong?”
Tianyuan's voice suddenly interrupted Tian Yan's question, and those divine golden eyes were like sharp swords, piercing Tian Yan's heart: "If it is wrong, then tell me, where is the mistake in my decision? Holy If you have any reasonable proposals, I will consider them."
“.” Tian Yan’s breathing was slightly rapid, and his golden eyes stared at the master below.
“Although it is not certain that the beginning of the catastrophe is the catastrophe itself, as long as there is a chance, it is worth trying.”
Tianyuan looked at the girl with heaving **** and said in a voice as cold as snow: "Tianyan, our Jiantian Pavilion is not a place where children love each other. Your emotions can influence your judgment now. Please wait until you calm down before you come to see me as your teacher. "
Having said that,
Tianyuan slowly turned around, dragging her flowing white skirt like a waterfall, and walked slowly towards the tower.
Looking at his master’s back, Tian Yan stood in the sky and gritted his silver teeth, slowly closing his eyes.
The next moment, a mysterious wave suddenly spread around her.
As the waves spread, the trembling of Tian Yan's delicate body and the clenched fists slowly relaxed.
Opening his eyes again, Tian Yan's golden pupils were already filled with divine indifference like Tianyuan.
The air waves surged and slowly fell to the top of the tower. Tian Yan stared at the opponent's back and said in an indifferent voice:
“Master, did you just say that the disaster was only part of the cause, and the other part was because of me?
"Do you think that as long as I kill Xu Yuan, my feelings for him will gradually fade over time?"
Hearing this indifferent voice, Tianyuan immediately stopped walking, turned slightly sideways, and looked at the golden-eyed girl behind him, without denying:
“With this consideration in mind, I have reminded you that the word love needs to be resolved by yourself, and your identity and his identity are destined to have no result.
“Now the foundation of our Jiantian Pavilion is rooted in the sect. If we want to survive and grow, we will have an irreconcilable conflict with the Prime Minister’s Office behind Xu Changtian.”
Tian Yan stepped forward slowly and spoke in a clear voice:
“Now that the catastrophe is approaching, I, Supervisor Tian Pavilion, have the possibility of cooperating with the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
“Then how likely do you think this is?”
Tianyuan’s dress was fluttering, she raised her hand to tuck a few strands of her long hair behind her ears, and stared at the girl in front of her:
“Moreover, if those long days are the disaster itself, what should you do?
“It’s rebellion,
“Or kill him with your own hands?”
ˆ “.”
On the top of Haoran Tower, the cold wind howled by, and the two women looked at each other silently.
And in this silence,
Tian Yan’s calm eyes gradually became shaken.
With the appearance of this wavering, the mysterious fluctuations surrounding Tian Yan gradually dissipated, and the indifferent divinity in her eyes quickly returned to its usual state.
The state of Shenwu has been destroyed!
Seeing this scene, Tianyuan felt a little troubled in her heart.
She found that she had misjudged Tian Yan’s feelings for Xu Changtian.
This traitor's feelings for Xu Changtian are now even unable to suppress Yan Tian Jue's state of incompetence.
Her rationality told Tianyuan that she should deal with Tian Yan’s variable immediately.
If the Supervising Lady rebels against the enemy, it would be equivalent to Emperor Dayan rebelling against himself.
This will cause immeasurable losses to Jiantian Pavilion.
But unfortunately, the current situation does not allow her to do this.
In this generation of Jiantian Pavilion, there is only one saint named Tian Yan who can succeed as the head of the pavilion, and the coming disaster also requires a "Tian Yan" to deal with it.
After a few breaths of silence,
Tianyuan breathed out softly, her voice softened slightly, and she changed the topic:
“Tian Yan, you didn’t come here just to ask why you became a teacher, right?”
Tian Yan suffered some backlash from Shenwu's breaking skills. She wiped the corner of her mouth and some blood spilled out. She stared at the master in front of her and asked softly with a slight hesitation:
“Is Xu Yuan still alive?”
Hearing this question, Tianyuan glanced at the far north and said:
“The operation failed, and only one person survived.”
Tian Yan's eyes flashed with relief when he heard this, but then he became a little complicated.
Xu Yuan survived, which instantly relaxed her heavy mood during this period.
But regarding her sense of belonging in Jiantian Pavilion, this news made her a little hesitant.
During the assassination, three mortals died in Jiantian Pavilion.
Tianyuan stared at the expression in Tian Yan’s eyes, feeling a little more relieved this time.
At least, at least the saint is still far away from rebelling against the sect.
Thinking in his mind, Tianyuan said softly:
“This matter has been anticipated by the teacher.”
Tian Yan was slightly surprised when he heard this, and asked in confusion:
“Master, since you know you will fail, why?”
Tianyuan’s voice was very soft and a little serious:
“This is an attempt to end the disaster, and it is also a consideration for the future.
“In the past ten thousand years, the loose control system of Jiantian Pavilion has been based on the Yantian Jue. Now the future is no longer visible. We now need a foreign enemy to unite the following sects.”
