Luo Ya came to the ship and took out a black leather suitcase from the bedroom, which contained 100 million Beli.

Carrying the suitcase and walking towards the village.

It's not that Luo Ya is generous, although the concept of money has always been that enough money is enough, and even if it is not enough, you can buy it for zero yuan, but if this so-called trial can really have the effect as the old lady said, Luo Ya thinks that 100 million Beli is quite worth it.

And Luo Ya also felt that they didn't have the guts to lie to him. They would just take it back if they found out something was wrong.

As Luo Ya walked to the entrance of the village carrying his suitcase, black smoke was already rising over the village, bringing with it the aroma of food.

The old woman led Maya at the entrance of the village and took the suitcase from Luo Ya's hand with a smile. After weighing the weight, the smile on the old woman's face became even bigger, and she warmly invited Luo Ya to her home for dinner.

When we arrived at the old lady's house, everything in the room was normal except for two sets of special clothes hanging on the wall.

Seeing Luo Ya's curious eyes, the old woman smiled and said, "That is a costume specially worn for praying. It is inherited from our witches. When the blood moon comes, if you want to seal Seven-Star Sword, you need to pray to awaken the power of Seven Stars of Asuka."

After hearing the old woman's explanation, Luo Ya shrugged and sat on the chair, directly picked up the chopsticks and ate the food on the table.

They were all very common fish and meat, plus some simple vegetables, but Luo Ya ate them with gusto. After all, he had eaten his own food at sea for so long, and he quite recognized the craftsmanship of others.

Seeing Luo Ya's rude behavior, the two of them were stunned for a moment and then sat down to eat one after another.

The three of them quickly finished the food on the table. Maya stood up consciously, packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen, leaving the old woman leisurely wiping the grease on her mouth.

Luo Ya took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it, then looked at the old woman quietly, indicating that the meal was finished and it was time to talk about business.

"The trial of Seven-Star Tower started a long time ago. After all, it has been decades since the trial stopped." The old woman said slowly.

"Oh, it's okay. I'm quite curious about the story here." Luo Ya smoked a cigarette and motioned to continue.

"The original Seven-Star Sword is the symbol of the Asuka Royal Family, and only the king can hold Sword of Kings.

At that time, what surrounds it is the power of Gods."

"What does Gods mean?"

"Army Breaker Greedy Wolf Seven Kill Giant Gate Wenqu Wu Qu Lian Zhen It's Seven Stars of Asuka. The power of Gods means that the power of these seven stars is attached to Seven-Star Sword."

Luo Ya was stunned when he heard it, and complained in his heart, "Isn't this fucking Big Dipper? It becomes yours?" However, he did not say it out loud but nodded.

Following the old woman's narration, Luo Ya also fully understood the situation regarding Seven-Star Tower's trial.

The original Seven-Star Sword controlled the power of the seven stars, but after experiencing the bloody story of the three princes all falling in love with a witch.

In order to win the favor of the witch, the three princes began to fight for the throne. In the end, the country died in the fight, with rivers of blood and corpses scattered everywhere.

The resentment and evil spirits generated by the dead and the desire of the holder have corroded the power of Seven-Star Sword.

As a result, anyone who holds Seven-Star Sword will be cruel and murderous, and their desires will be amplified a thousand times. Even their bodies will become extremely huge, and many octopus-like tentacles will grow on their bodies.

Later, the three princes suddenly woke up and found that they were unable to change. At this time, the protagonist of the story, the witch, sacrificed her life to seal Seven-Star Sword.

Three Jewel were left to communicate with Seven Stars of Asuka, and the power of Seven-Star Sword was divided into seven and sealed into seven High Tower.

When Red Moon comes, the power in High Tower will leak and the power of Seven-Star Sword will gather again. At this time, the next miko will need to use Jewel to strengthen the seal again and cut off the connection between High Tower and Seven-Star Sword.

Hearing this, Luo Ya was speechless and lit a cigarette again, "Sure enough, a woman can only affect the speed of drawing a sword. No wonder you have left your line of witches to guard this Seven-Star Sword for generations. It seems that your conscience discovered it before you died."

This was not the first time the old woman told this story, but it was the first time she heard such remarks. She couldn't help but ask,

"Where do you start talking about this?"

"Look, there are three princes in a country, so it's normal for them to fight to the death for the throne, right?"

"No, that's right."

"Then the identity of the miko can be suspected to be a legend that was beautified afterwards, in order to cover up the fact of fighting for power."

"But you, the orthodox miko descendant, have confirmed the authenticity, which shows that the three of them fought because of women."

"This shows that your ancestor wanted to see who would marry whom when he became king, but in the end he found that the country was gone, and the village chief had to struggle to return the king."

"In addition, seeing too many people die, my conscience still lingers, so I sealed Seven-Star Sword and left your lineage behind."

The old woman was so angry at Luo Ya's remarks that she yelled and retorted, "Ancestor, she couldn't bear Seven-Star Sword to cause another killing, so she asked us to guard Seven-Star Sword to prevent him from harming the sea!"

"Don't be ridiculous, it's hard to harm your island. Can I kill World Government and kill all the navy with this sword?"

"No, we can't."

"Where can I kill Whitebeard and become Pirate King?"

"No, we can't."

"Directly become World's Greatest Swordsman?"

"Yeah, you can't either."

"What can be done to harm the sea? I can do it without Seven-Star Sword to harm this island."

The old woman's lips turned white when she was asked by Luo Ya, and she seemed out of breath. Her long-standing faith received a huge impact.

Luo Ya felt secretly happy when he saw this, and the depression of being blackmailed was gone. However, he did not provoke the old woman. At such an old age, he was afraid that she would get excited.

He quickly changed the subject and said, "Tell me about Seven-Star Tower, what kind of trial is this?"

Maya on the side patted the old woman on the back and stared angrily at Luo Ya with her big beautiful eyes.

"You brat, you really hold a grudge." The old woman waved her hand, signaled to Maya that she was fine, and then said to Luo Ya.

Then he explained to Luo Ya in detail the matters related to the trial of Seven-Star Tower.

The power of the originally contaminated Seven-Star Sword was divided into seven by the witch, and the power of the seven stars was divided into seven High Tower, while Seven-Star Sword itself was placed as a container in the witch's tomb.

That is High Tower in Luo Ya's memory, in that sarcophagus.

The seven-seater High Tower is also named in the order of Seven Stars of Asuka, which are Army Breaker Greedy Wolf Seven Kill Giant Gate Wenqu Wu Qu Lian Zhen.

After passing the trial of each High Tower, those who pass it will absorb the power of the seal and make it their own.

Luo Ya smoked a cigarette and listened, and nodded after hearing that it was his own. He thought that the 100 million Beli was not a loss. This was the power of Big Dipper, let alone a mere 100 million Beli, which could not be measured by money at all.

Just as I was thinking about it, I realized that the old lady had nothing to say.

"Huh? Keep going."

"I only know so much about the Seven-Star Tower trial. After all, no one has passed the trial in so many years."

"Then what you said about the condensed sword intent was also a lie to me?" Luo Ya's eyes flashed with red light, and murderous intent instantly filled the room.

Maya was frightened by the frightening murderous aura and sat down on the ground with a scream.

The old woman said calmly, "No way, Seven-Star Tower itself has the ability to condense and compress power. Even the power of the Seven Stars of Arcas can be compressed by it, let alone the sword intention of a swordsman."

Luo Ya put away his murderous aura after hearing this, and said with a smile, "In other words, participating in the trial can have a condensing effect. So how do I participate in the trial?"

The old woman cleared her throat and helped Maya up, pointed at her and said, "When Seven Stars of Asuka shines at night, the witch will take Jewel to pray at the top of the corresponding tower. The tower door will open, and you can enter it and naturally participate in the trial."

"But I want to remind you that if you fail this test, your life will be in danger. I don't know how many famous swordsmen came here in the past few decades."

"I haven't seen the last person come out. Even the first trial has not been passed yet, so I stopped this trial."

Luo Ya smiled and said, "Haha, the rewards are naturally proportional to the efforts."

The old lady was not impressed by Luo Ya's confidence. Every swordsman in the past was so confident, or those who were not strong-willed enough or believed in the sword in their hands could never become famous swordsmen.

However, after living for so many years, she has long been indifferent to life and death. Whether it is other people's or her own, the only thing she can't let go of now is her little granddaughter Maya.

"In that case, I wish you success. In the evening, Maya will lead you to Seven-Star Tower. You have to go and rest."

The old woman said and returned to the bedroom on crutches.

Maya seemed to have just recovered, and said with some fear, "Which room on the east side is prepared for you? If you want to rest, go there. I will call you when Seven Stars of Asuka shines at night."

Luo Ya shrugged, walked into the prepared room, lay on the bed, and began to recall the legend about Big Dipper.

This trial must be related to Big Dipper. This old woman has no idea about the content of the trial, and it also contains the blood and souls of countless people.

The difficulty of the trial must be quite high. Being able to recognize the dragon skin on your body and still feel that your probability of passing is not high means that there must have been at least one Dragon Slayer swordsman who came to challenge it and died in it.

But in fact, Luo Ya would not be surprised how difficult this trial is. After all, Big Dipper, even in some fantasy world of cultivating immortals, not all cats and dogs can succeed.

There is currently no information and we can only start with the name. Since Army Breaker is the first trial, what does Army Breaker represent?

Luo Ya was lying on the boat thinking about the legend about Army Breaker.
