Heaven

Ji Kongqing stepped into the air, her body lost her balance and fell straight down.

Fortunately, he remained calm in the face of danger, hooked the chain with his left foot that was still on the iron chain, and stopped his fall immediately, and his whole body hung upside down in the air.

It took a lot of effort for Ji Kongqing to sit on the iron lock again, and she couldn't help being afraid for a while, and was very surprised that she had walked so far like a ghost.

No wonder he stepped on the ground, Ji Kongqing looked at the iron locks under his feet and immediately understood the reason.

The Tongtian Iron Lock under his feet has come to an end.

The other end of the iron lock is not connected to any mountain, but is tied together with two other iron chains of the same thickness, as if one left and one right are divided into two strands, extending towards two different directions, and disappearing in the clouds between.

Ji Kongqing looked around but did not see any shadow of the palace anymore.He was puzzled by his trance just now, could it be that he was hallucinating?

After sitting for a while to calm down her heartbeat, Ji Kongqing stretched out her hands and stood on the chain again.

The place where he is now is windy and cold, even the iron lock is covered with a thin layer of frost, if he is not careful, he may slip down and fall to nothing.

Ji Kongqing secretly rejoiced that he had walked so far safely without even looking at his feet just now, he secretly used his internal strength, exerted a sticky force, and walked back steadily.

After a while, Ji Kongqing suddenly felt the iron lock under his feet vibrate slightly, and he took a few steps forward, only to see clearly that the man in white robe who was behind him was walking unsteadily on the iron lock.

Presumably, he waited for Ji Kongqing not to come back for a long time, thinking that something bad happened to him, so he started the next person's trial.

"Master Qin, help!" The white-robed man saw Ji Kongqing's figure stepping out of the clouds, hurriedly staggered a few steps forward, grabbed Ji Kongqing's arm, and barely stabilized his figure.

Ji Kongqing was pulled violently by him, and his body swayed slightly. Fortunately, the wind here was much weaker, and he regained his balance in an instant.

He smiled wryly: "Young Master Bai has already walked halfway, why don't you walk back by yourself?"

"To tell you the truth, the more I walk, the weaker my legs become, and now I really can't go back." The white-robed man took Ji Kongqing's hand and put it on his waist, and turned around cautiously, " Also ask Mr. Qin to help me."

The two of them couldn't switch directions on the iron lock, so Ji Kongqing had no choice but to support the white-robed man with all his strength to walk back.

He felt that as soon as he exerted force on his hand, the other party leaned back softly and bonelessly, and almost snuggled into his arms.

For a while, Ji Kongqing only felt the smell of the strange smell, holding a soft body to push or pull, so he had to maintain a posture that was almost close to him all the way back to Langyatai.

As soon as his feet were on the ground, Ji Kongqing's nose was itchy from the strong fragrance of the opponent, he sneezed several times in a row, and took the opportunity to distance himself.

In the subsequent trials, two people stumbled and fell off the sky-bending iron chains, and all the remaining people chose to abstain without exception, and no qualified candidates appeared.

When the last candidate also gave up the trial, the Fourth Elder Yu Yu announced the end of the primary election.

A total of seven people were shortlisted this time, and the fourth elder ordered his attendants to take the seven people to the palace to rest.

Since the number of people who successfully passed the primary election was unexpectedly small, if there is no accident, these seven people should all become the queen's husbands, but their grades are different.

Ji Kongqing rested for three days, but secretly got the news that the snow peak is still not very peaceful these days.

Those who lost the election wanted to go down the mountain and leave, but because the murderer who killed the goddess had not been found, the fourth elder insisted that they only leave after attending the queen's wedding ceremony.

Although no new goddess was killed, the number of missing candidates was increasing day by day, and one day even three people disappeared without a trace under strict surveillance.

Ji Kongqing was notified that she had to take a bath and change clothes before participating in tomorrow's trial.

He was taken to a quiet small courtyard, and he just stepped into the door only to find that there was a pool of hot spring inside.

Two women in black stood on both sides, obviously preparing to wait for him to take a bath.

Ji Kongqing wanted them to go out, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the index finger and middle finger of one of the women's right hands bent into a strange shape, and suddenly understood, and ordered only one person to serve, and let the other wait outside.

The woman who was not selected hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances with her companion, and finally went out and closed the door.

The remaining woman looked up.

Ji Kongqing was startled: "Shake girl?"

The woman was not very old, she had a baby face, but her face was full of evil spirits, she was Jing Mingquan's favorite general.

"My subordinate Yaoguang was ordered by the landlord to come to cooperate with General Ji's actions." Yaoguang bowed and saluted, "It is good for the general to call me Xiao Yao."

Cooperate with my actions?

Ji Kongqing recalled the few words he had asked Xinniao to bring back before he went up the mountain, thinking that Jing Mingquan had seen something from it and called someone to come to meet him.

Why did Mingrui have nothing to say to him only when Aquan sent someone to come?

Ji Kongqing immediately became a little aggrieved, he said with a smirk: "I came here purely to become the emperor's husband of the Yue Kingdom, will you cooperate with this?"

"Of course, the subordinate is only responsible to the landlord, and everything will be done according to his 'instructions'." Yaoguang said solemnly, "As for whether the landlord will be punished by His Majesty because of this, I have no control over it."

Ji Kongqing asked curiously: "You are really A Quan's subordinate, why do you sound a little gloating?"

Yaoguang said with a serious face: "Three years ago at the martial arts conference, I lost a trick to the landlord in public. People in the Jianghu value faith the most, so naturally I can only be his subordinate."

It turned out that there was such a grievance behind him, Ji Kongqing rubbed his chin, always felt that Jing Mingquan, a confidant, would spare no effort to tear down his stage.

"Okay, I've finished talking. From now on, just tell General Ji if you have something to do. Now it's time to get down to business." Yaoguang suddenly reached out to untie Ji Kongqing's belt.

Ji Kongqing was startled, and hurriedly avoided: "What are you going to do?"

"Of course it's for the candidate who serves the emperor's husband to take a bath." Yaoguang said seriously.

With a helpless expression on his face, Ji Kongqing reminded him, "Uh, you are pretending to be a goddess by sneaking into Xuefeng, and you don't have to take over the work of the goddess."

"No, I was originally the Goddess of the Yue Kingdom." Yaoguang swayed, and continued to try to grab Ji Kongqing's belt with lightness kung fu, "The errands of Tingfeng Pavilion are my sideline."

Ji Kongqing hurriedly dodged left and right.

Yaoguang frowned and said, "General Ji, why are you hiding? We have all received special training, and we will take care of you to take a bath to make sure you are comfortable!"

With embarrassment on his face, Ji Kongqing said in a low voice, "Would you like to kiss each other..."

Yaoguang said in surprise: "Then just don't treat me like a woman." As he said that, he used a set of tricks, as if he would never give up until he reached his goal.

Ji Kongqing was shocked, and said anxiously: "I still have something to ask!"

Yaoguang stopped attacking, and asked in confusion: "General Ji, what else do you want to ask?"

The room was already full of steam from the hot spring, and Ji Kongqing's forehead was sweating after being chased back and forth by her.He took a breath and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has anything to tell me?"

"Your Majesty—" Fluctlight tilted his head and thought for a while.

"Before I came, I only saw the landlord but not your majesty." She only heard that the landlord was forced by your majesty to inquire about you, she thought for a while, and swallowed the last sentence back.

Ji Kongqing finally persuaded Yaoguang to turn her back.He quickly took a shower and changed into Yue's clothes.

After confirming the method of sending the message with Yaoguang, he returned to the palace where he temporarily lived.

Tonight, the rare wind and snow have passed away, and many stars are shining in the clear night sky.

Ji Kongqing didn't enter the house, but stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky.

Jing Xiaojuan, I just cut off your contact a few times on purpose, you can't be so stingy that you don't hear from me anymore, right?I really don't know who I am running around for!

Ji Kongqing thought bitterly.

At this time, in the Palace of Chu...

"Ah Choo!" Jing Mingrui rubbed his nose suspiciously. Could it be that the earth dragon wasn't hot enough, and he actually caught a cold?

He glanced at Jing Mingquan, who was full of concern, and continued the topic just now: "I have decided to go to the holy mountain to worship the heavens, and I will start immediately. You also go with me."

He received the news last night that the Queen of Yue was choosing her husband, and there were only seven people left in the first round. Ji Kongqing was probably definitely going to be selected, so he finally made up his mind.

"Fifth brother, why should I go?" Jing Mingquan asked in confusion.

"You don't know where the old man is now, do you?" Jing Mingrui asked back.

Jing Mingquan said with a sneer: "Father, I'm afraid you don't want to see me."

Jing Mingrui frowned and said, "Are you going to let him treat you like this for the rest of your life?"

Jing Mingquan touched his head, and said in a low voice: "Father can call me Xiaoliu, and sometimes let me eat at the same table, I am already very satisfied."

"Fart!" Jing Mingrui slapped the table, "Even if there was a mistake in what happened back then, it was your mother's fault. She has passed away there for many years, why should he blame it on you?"

Jing Mingquan had no choice but to placate his elder brother's anger with an apologetic smile.

"I've already decided that, taking advantage of this sacrifice to heaven, I must let the two of you get rid of this knot." Jing Mingrui looked at Jing Mingquan's anxious expression, and couldn't help but feel soft.My younger brother will only show the timidity of a teenager when it comes to the family relationship between father and son that he has longed for.

He softened his voice: "Don't worry, there is the only person there who can convince him, and he will never let you make this trip in vain."

Jing Mingquan's eyes lit up, he felt relieved immediately, and he smirked: "I think it's fake to go to sacrifice to heaven, but it's true that Fifth Brother wants to snatch Fifth Sister back!"

The holy mountain was originally the territory of the Yue Kingdom, but it was captured by Jing Hao more than ten years ago, and it is less than a hundred miles away from the snow peak where the Yue Kingdom Divine Emperor Palace is located.

Jing Mingrui's face blushed when he exposed his mind.
