Why do they always want me to change my filial piety?

During this period of time, apart from practicing, Lu Ran searched for relevant information about the Xiao Clan, and sometimes went to the school established by the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to help.

In addition, Yu Hong also returned to the northern border and consulted the confidential files in the Huaiyin Palace for him.

In this confidential dossier, Lu Ran learned the list of city lords who were replaced by King Huaiyin when he entered the Northern Territory. Unfortunately, this list is not complete, only a part of it. Obviously, King Huaiyin deliberately separated it to prevent anyone from reading the list. , all leaked out.

Although this list is only a part, it is extremely important for Lu Ran to know, because from this, he can know which city lords belong to Huaiyin King.

Of course, he doesn't plan to do anything now, the current priority is to investigate the relationship between Guixu and the Xiao Clan, as well as the truth about the accident back then.

What Lu Ran wanted to know was what roles Huaiyin King and Emperor Zhende played in it, but there is no clue yet, so Yu Hong can only let Yu Hong continue to search.

There is another point that he cares more about.

It is recorded in the dossier that after replacing the original city lords in the northern border, King Huaiyin seemed to be looking for something.

At first, Lu Ran guessed that King Huaiyin wanted to find information about the Xiao Clan, or the secret of Guixu. After all, when Guixu was opened 20 years ago, it was in the northern border.

In the northern border, these city lords must have some specific information.

But after asking Xiao Xueqing, she pondered for a while, and said: "Prince Huaiyin should be looking for the seal of mountains and rivers!"

"Shanhe Seal?" Lu Ran frowned, a little unfamiliar with this thing.

"The seal of mountains and rivers was formed by the first generation of Emperor Yu of Dayu, who united four strong men and refined the power of mountains, rivers and lands in all the territories of the Dayu Dynasty."

"There are five pieces in total, and they are respectively located in the four regions of Dayu, east, west, north, south, and Dayu Imperial Palace. It gathers the luck of the entire Dayu Dynasty."

"In this way, the Dayu Dynasty can flourish for hundreds of years!"

"Controlling the Shanhe Seal means controlling the luck of its territory."

Hearing this, Lu Ran pondered for a while, and seemed to understand something: "The mountain and river seal in the northern border is in the hands of the Xiao Clan?"

"En!" Xiao Xueqing nodded, took a sip of her tea, and then continued: "The Xiao Clan existed longer than the Dayu Dynasty."

"And when Emperor Yu made sacrifices to refine the mountain and river seal, he got the help of the Xiao clan, and promised to hand over the mountain and river seal in the northern border to the Xiao clan, and granted the title of king of Zhenbei, which can be inherited from generation to generation."

Speaking of this, the voice paused: "But this mountain and river seal is the only one that is not controlled by the Dayu royal family."

The five seals of mountains and rivers represent the luck of the entire Dayu Dynasty, but the Northern Territory is not in the hands of the Dayu Royal Family?

In the beginning, perhaps the first Emperor Yu and the member of the Xiao clan really had a friendly relationship.

But after the first Emperor Yu, would other emperors think so?

A mountain and river seal represents one-fifth of the luck of the Dayu Dynasty, but now it is not in the hands of the royal family. No matter which emperor it is, it is probably unwilling to see such a thing!

After all, what an emperor cares most about is imperial power.

If the Shanhe Seal is not in your hands, it means that the imperial power is incomplete.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran continued to ask: "What happened after that?"

"The sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and the mulberry field of Songhai!"

"The Xiao clan has guarded the northern border for generations, and the most amazing descendants of each generation will become a new generation of Kings of the North."

"It's just that I don't know when, the population of the Xiao Clan has become more and more rare, and the Xiao Clan has also begun to gradually decline."

"When Emperor Yuanxu succeeded to the throne, he proposed the idea of ​​taking back the Shanhe Seal."

"It's a pity that Aunt Jing's father didn't agree, so there was a conflict between the two parties."

What did Lu Ranming understand: "At that time, the Shanhe seal was still there, which means that the disappearance of the Shanhe seal was related to Aunt Jing?"

Xiao Xueqing nodded: "Since Aunt Jing was trapped in the evil abyss during the battle in the Yinyu Plain 18 years ago, no one knows the whereabouts of Shanheyin."

Lu Ran connected everything into a line, as if peeling off cocoons, and slowly analyzed: "In this way, Emperor Zhende will let King Huaiyin enter the northern border, and the purpose is to take back the seal of mountains and rivers!"

"Judging from the actions of King Huaiyin when he entered the Northern Territory, he already knew that Shayuan would appear, and he also knew that whether it was the Northern Barbarian Monster Army, the Zhenbei Army, or Aunt Jing, they would all be buried in Shayuan. In the abyss."

"That is to say, the layout of Sha Yuan was planned by Ghost Face Man and Emperor Jeanne?"

Facing his gaze, Xiao Xueqing parted her red lips lightly and said, "It's just that in the end, neither of them got what they wanted."

This can be guessed from the fact that the Grimace Man is still in the northern border.

If you already got what you want, there is no need to stay here.

According to his previous guess, Emperor Jeanne not only had some unknown transaction with the northern monsters, but also set up a dark situation with the ghost face man.

But in the end, all three may fail to achieve each other's goals due to various reasons.

"Prince Huaiyin, Emperor Zhende, Guixu, Xiao Clan, Shanheyin!"

Lu Ran cleared his mind, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Ghostface probably wants to get the secret about Guixu through Aunt Jing, and Emperor Jeanne wants to take back the Shanhe Seal."

"There is no conflict of interest between the two."

"As for the northern monsters, maybe they also wanted something, but in the end it was designed by Emperor Joan of Arc and the Grimacing Man, which caused the northern monsters to directly lose 50 troops."

"As for what exactly happened, we have to start with King Huaiyin."

His thoughts stopped here, he looked at Xiao Xueqing, and said: "Sister Xueqing, I plan to test Huaiyin King."

Xiao Xueqing revealed a worried look, biting her red lips lightly with her white teeth: "You want to break into Huaiyin Palace?"

"But there are so many masters in the Huaiyin Palace, plus the unknown Huaiyin King, Xiaoran, you..."

Lu Ran shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not that stupid, just broke into it."

Xiao Xueqing was immediately puzzled: "Then what do you mean?"

"Sister Xueqing, do you remember the nightmare?"

"You want to enter the dream of King Huaiyin?"

"Yeah!" Lu Ran didn't hide anything, and immediately expressed his thoughts: "For the sake of caution, I have to ask Sister Xueqing to use [Words follow the law] and the Spring and Autumn Glass Cup to strengthen my soul."

[Words follow the law] It is a Confucian and Taoist supernatural power that can only be controlled by great Confucians. Anyone who uses this supernatural power can do many things against the sky as long as he can bear the price.

For example, to enhance his soul power in a short period of time.

In this way, when he entered Huaiyin King's dream, he was more confident.

After understanding Xiaoran's thoughts, Xiao Xueqing thought for a while, and asked, "Xiaoran, when are you going to do it?"

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes: "Tonight!"

Chapter 250 IX Huaiyin King

The night was dim, and the candles in the room were glowing.

"Let's get started, sister Xueqing!"

Lu Ran slowly lay down on the bed, and looked at the gentle woman in a black skirt.

"Three feet of blue flames, soul buff!"

Xiao Xueqing next to her opened her red lips lightly, her beautiful eyes were full of light, and a mysterious magic seal was formed on her slender hands, and the words flowed like a rainbow.

The next moment, the Spring and Autumn Glazed Cup floated in front of Lu Ran, the green flame became brighter and began to rise higher, and the rainbow of simple and mysterious words enveloped Lu Ran.

He could feel that the power of his soul suddenly soared at this moment under the blessing of [Words follow the law].

The first level of the emperor's realm!

Emperor Realm Fifth Layer Heaven!

The emperor's realm is complete!

Sunday field...

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xueqing reminded: "Xiao Ran, the duration is only a quarter of an hour!"

"Okay!" Lu Ran closed his eyes, the extremely majestic power of the soul swayed, the space trembled, and the whole body was surrounded by scarlet runes.

[Words follow the law] Although this Confucian and Taoist supernatural power is against the sky, it must bear the power of backlash that breaks the rules.

With Xiao Xueqing's current cultivation base, it is already the limit for him to keep the power of the soul in the sun realm within two quarters of an hour.

Otherwise, if this limit is exceeded, Xiao Xueqing herself will have to pay a corresponding price even if she has the Spring and Autumn Glazed Cup.

----------

At the same time, in Huaiyin Palace.

In the pavilion, there is a majestic man in a python robe, who is cultivating with his eyes closed, surrounded by red dragons lingering and intertwined, exuding an extremely depressing atmosphere.

This is second only to the "Golden Dragon Unsealed Jue" passed down by the Dayu Dynasty!

Compared with Emperor Zhende's nine golden dragons, the dragon on King Huaiyin's body is a red dragon, and there are only seven dragons, obviously because he is not the emperor of Dayu and cannot combine the dragon spirit of Dayu.

Suddenly, King Huaiyin opened his eyes and said coldly, "Who is playing tricks?"

I saw that the scene in front of him was not in the pavilion, but came to a crimson world.

The bright crimson moon hangs high in the void, casting down streaks of crimson moonlight.

As far as the moonlight reaches, the whole world has turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

In the sea of ​​blood, a figure in a black robe wearing a grimace mask appeared at some unknown time.

King Huaiyin narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Who are you?"

The hoarse voice of the ghost face came out: "You don't know me?"

"Put away your tricks!"

King Huaiyin didn't say much, his whole body was filled with murderous intent, he raised his hand and slammed it out.

In an instant, the seven red dragons swung their huge tails, swayed their huge bodies, and roared out. Wherever they passed, the sky and the earth shook, and everything was annihilated into pieces.

Boom!

There was only a muffled sound, and a monstrous wave of blood rose from the mountain of corpses, and was directly torn apart by this terrifying killing.

As this scene disappeared, Lu Ran wrapped in a large black robe appeared on the crimson moon in the void.

He originally wanted to obtain some useful information in the dream world as a ghost face.

But who would have thought that King Huaiyin would see through it on the spot.

Where did the flaw appear?

Lu Ran frowned, staring at the majestic figure on the ground: "How did you find out that I'm not him?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in King Huaiyin's eyes: "Do you think you can deceive this king by using methods similar to those of the Dream Witch?"

"Dare to enter this king's dream, you can stay here today!"

During the speech, his figure has disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had already come behind Lu Ran, and he did not know when he had evolved into the head of a red dragon. The mouth of the dragon that covered the sky opened wide, and suddenly condensed into a crimson vortex, devouring the world!

But at this moment, the black-robed man in front of him disappeared.

Also appeared behind him, a hazy arm phantom that could shake the world appeared out of thin air, and blasted fiercely.

Boom!

Only a shocking muffled sound came out, and the dream world set off monstrous ripples.

And in the center of the ripples, the phantoms of seven red dragons lingered on King Huaiyin's body, and he accepted the attack abruptly.

"This is the only way you can do it?"

A playful sound came from his ear, and Lu Ran's expression became serious.

King Huaiyin's realm is at least complete in the Sunlight Realm, or has already reached the half-step Moon Shadow Realm.

Or, as rumored, because he entered a special secret realm in his early years and was attacked and killed by unknown powerful creatures, he was severely injured and was unable to enter the Moon Shadow Realm.

King Huaiyin stepped forward, and the sound of the chant of the seven red dragons, phantom shadows, and dragons shook the world: "This king will ask you one last time, who are you?"

Lu Ran said lightly, "It doesn't matter who I am."

"The important thing is that I entered your dream to make a deal with you."

"To make a deal with this king, you have to prove whether you have the qualifications!"

King Huaiyin spoke aloud, and the phantoms of the seven red dragons reflected each other and merged into one, roaring out again with an extremely depressing aura.

Wherever it passed, cracks like spider webs appeared in the dream world.

In this regard, Lu Ran waved his black robe, and the crimson moon in the void trembled, forming a huge crimson vortex, which suddenly included the killing, and with a backhand, Zun Chilong's phantom was blasting in the opposite direction. out!
