Chapter 8: Dark Clouds
No matter what reason Yan Che surrendered, for Ye Fengli, he could at least put aside the matter of the demon first. At present, all the people of the Wuyu clan in Sky City are indignant because of the words of the Empress Dowager Wei: Emperor Yu will not give the people of the Wuyu clan a way to live.
Legend has it that at the beginning of the birth of the Feather People, that is, when the humans moved to live in Sky City, at that time, the Feather People had not yet grown wings, and they were all nested on the floating islands of Sky City. There are some islands, and Sky City is different from the ground, and its area is really not large. Although the feathered people can live in Sky City, learn to grow special crops and vegetables, and raise livestock, as the number of people increases, they will definitely not be able to live here. Humans who live in the sky have lost the ability to return to the earth.
It wasn't until the Kun in the Demon Realm grew wings, flew into the sky, and turned into a Kunpeng, passing through Sky City, that these people saw life.
That is a brand new continent, the size of Kun, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, enough for the people of Yu to live for thousands of years. However, they had no way to get to Kunpeng's back.
At that time, the Gonggong Yuan Shen split into nine dragons, and the Sky Dragon Xiang Brigade occupied the sky. He didn't want to see humans in the sky, and he originally wanted to destroy Sky City. But the feathered people of Sky City no longer think of themselves as humans on the ground. The feather man is willing to follow the Xiang Brigade for generations, and as long as he is willing to give them the ability to fly, the feather man is willing to do anything.
It is said that there was a feather who stood up and was willing to let Shoru eat himself. And promised Xianglu that as long as Xianglu gave them the ability to fly, he was willing to let his children and grandchildren sacrifice their lives. This first person to stand up is the future first Yuhuang, his surname is Ye. Ye Fengli, I don't know how many generations of his grandsons are.
Xianglu is a god, not a demon. He's not going to eat people. He was moved by these devout believers, originally on the ground, those human beings were all coveting the power of the gods, trying to subvert the creator of the world, and finally let him fight with Zhu Rong, the last Yuan Shen was annihilated, and the other degenerated into a demon. Xiang Lu sent the first batch of humans to Kunpeng's back. Then, a year later, the first feathered people returned to Sky City with wings. When ordinary people see that the people who go home have grown wings, they finally realize their dream of flying.
Every year after that, a feather man would come back and bring the young man to Kunpeng. When you receive the pollen of the meteor flower, you will be able to grow wings on your back. Later, in the first and second war of gods and demons, why did the feather people participate, it was because the feather people claimed to be the people of the gods, and naturally they wanted to destroy the demons for the gods.
Originally, when the feathers could continue to live in the sky for generations to be ruthless and endless, suddenly there was a change.
Originally, the feathered people were white feathers, and there were no black ones. White wings are better suited for flying in the air, and sometimes even birds can't notice their presence. They had an agreement when they lived on the Kunpeng, although the Kunpeng could not hear them, and would only fly in circles in the air without stopping. But the Kunpeng is the key to the feathered people being able to grow wings forever, so it must be treated well. According to Xiang Lu, Kunpeng is a creature of the Demon Realm, so his flesh and blood must not be used. Once you eat its flesh, you will fall into the devil.
Actually, this is just Xianglu used to bluff people. Although Kunpeng lives in the Demon Realm, it is not a monster, and it does not even listen to the orders of the monsters, let alone the Demon Sea Clan living in the Dead Sea cannot control it. It's one of the few creatures that has had it since the beginning of Chaos. However, Kunpeng's skin is very hard, it is said to be tens of meters thick, and it is as solid as a rock, invulnerable, and it is impossible for the feather people to hurt Kunpeng, let alone see it injured and bleeding.
All along, the feather people have lived on the back of Kunpeng, and they don't know anything about Kunpeng's underneath. That day, a feather man who was a patrol soldier patrolled under Kunpeng's belly, and at this time, he realized that Kunpeng was injured. It was a sword wound, small and almost healing. Yuren took a closer look and found that a little blood was actually leaking from the wound.
Yuren took Kunpeng's blood with his hand, and he knew that there was a rule in the clan that he could not eat Kunpeng's flesh and blood. However, this feather man is usually bullied and ridiculed by many people, and he thinks that the clan rules cannot eat the flesh and blood of Kunpeng, but he does not want this power to be obtained by ordinary feather people, so he drinks the blood of Kunpeng. After he drank the blood water, Kunpeng's wounds were recombined. However, after he drank the blood water, he did not feel any obvious changes in his body, and no strength emerged. He thought that this precept was just a cover, so he returned to Kunpeng's back.
What this feather man didn't expect was that after dawn the next day, all the snow-white feathers of this feather man turned black. When he walked out of the room, everyone looked at him with strange eyes. In the end, he was caught by Emperor Yuhuang in the palace on Kunpeng's back, and this feather man was Emperor Yu's own brother.
Emperor Yu asked him what he had done when he went to patrol Kunpeng's abdomen, and the weak brother told him the truth that he had drunk Kunpeng's blood. At this time, the Feather Emperor was completely angry, even if he was the Feather Emperor's own brother, he would not spare him, and was ready to kill him on the spot to prevent him from becoming a demon.
The younger brother begged for mercy, saying that after drinking the blood of Kunpeng, his body had not changed except for the blackening of his feathers, and he did not feel that he had become a demon. In order to confirm what he said, Emperor Yu had no choice but to take him to see Xiang Brigade.
Xiang Lu actually knew from the beginning that Yu Huang's younger brother had not become a demon, after all, it was a lie of his, and the purpose was to maintain the Yu clan's hatred of the demon man. However, after knowing that Emperor Yu's younger brother drank the blood of Kunpeng, even if the lie is exposed, Xiang Lu will continue to make up the lie. As a god, He does not have mercy on a person's life. It is because the sky is too vast, he is always far away from the fireworks, and he doesn't know how to communicate between people, so Xianglu is so emotionless.
Emperor Yu brought his brother back and prepared to behead him. However, his family all interceded for his younger brother. In the end, he had no choice but to put his brother under house arrest.
Later, Yuhuang's younger brother also reached the age of marriage, but Yuhuang was convinced that his younger brother would become a demon and did not allow him to marry and have his own children. But his brother had a woman he loved, and they were secretly together, and they had children. And the child who was born was bathed in the pollen of the meteor flower not long after, and actually grew black wings! Now the feather emperor had no choice, because the child did not know whether he had black wings before receiving the meteor pollen. Therefore, he can only isolate the known Black Feather people, and cannot live with the White Feather people. Anyone who grows black wings will be separated to live in the tail of the Kunpeng's back, and they will not be able to return to Sky City in the future.
This is the story of the Yu Clan's past, and Yan Che definitely doesn't know it. He was in the prison of Sky City, and he looked very leisurely.
"Young master, I don't understand, these feather people are all weak chickens, as long as they move their fists and feet, they can all be beaten up, why do you still surrender to prison?" asked the young wolf, who had been puzzled.
Yan Che smiled but didn't answer, and Ghost Shili said for Yan Che: "You don't know this, the young master of our family has also grown up, and he can do things more thoroughly than you think." He unified the six countries in the human world, and has gradually mastered the way to truly control a country, which is the hearts of the people. It may be easy for you to rule by force, but once your force drops, the people you enslave will resist. As long as the people's hearts are controlled, even if the person in power changes, the system will not change. ”
"What is it to control people's hearts, I only know that we are in the prison, and that Emperor Yu is still talking about it in the palace. ”
Yan Che said at this time: "He will definitely not be in a good mood this time. ”
The green wolf asked puzzled, "Why?"
"Because after the group of people from the Black Feather tribe came out, they heard him say that these people of the Black Feather tribe were all cursed and would be eliminated in the future, which aroused the resistance of the Black Feather people. ”
"So what, few of those people of the Black Feather Clan seem to have wings, and some of them are estimated to have broken wings. ”
"That's what the White Feather Clan did, the purpose is to distinguish the Black Feather Clan's ......"
While Yan Che was talking to the demons, the Black Feather Clansman, who had been cast spells from the prison, was imprisoned back in the prison. While being imprisoned, they also cursed: "Ye Feng is away from the villain, and he has no faith in his words." I said that if I defeated the demon man, I would be free, how could I talk like a fart?"
The Yu clan kicked down the prisoner who said disrespectful words, and said: "The demon surrendered by himself, what does it matter to you? Lord Yu Huang said that it was you who defeated the demon, since the demon surrendered, naturally there is no need to let you go." Also, if you give me something to pay attention to, and if you say something like this, it will make you look good!"
The Yu clan immediately closed the door and came to Yan Che's prison to check before leaving. Yan Che and the demons were held in two separate cells, their hands and feet locked with the shackles of colorful glazed stones. This shackle is not an ordinary handcuff that Yan Che could break free from casually before, and it can't be unlocked without a key.
But the key, Yan Che just has a way to get it.
Yuren looked at Yan Che and wanted to laugh, but at this time, Yan Che activated the Demon Pupil, and a burst of demon king's qi flowed out of his body, and a hideous grimace appeared on the top of Yan Che's head, which frightened Yuren on the spot and lost control of his body. Yan Che got up, took the key from the immobile Yu Clan, and untied the shackles. The jailer could only watch as Yan Che unlocked the demons one by one with the key, and when all the demons came out of the cell, Yan Che locked him with the shackles, stuffed his mouth tightly with a cloth, and then threw him into the prison and locked the door.
Yan Che stood in the corridor of his cell, and the people of the Black Feather Clan inside were watching him. Although the people of the Black Feather Clan are in a worrying situation now, they will not compromise with the demons. They were framed as demons in the past, but they all knew in their hearts that they weren't.
"I'm sorry guys, because I wasn't defeated by you, I didn't set you free. ”
"Hmph, you can't get out if you want to. Ye Fengli has already sent the three strongest talismans of the Yu Clan, and has imposed a triple enchantment to trap this big prison, and it will be difficult for you to fly even if you have wings. The Wuyu people lying in the cell said.
"Don't say that, I can fly without wings. Besides, I'm not going to leave here, there should be someone I'm looking for. ”
"The person you are looking for is in the prison? There are only the black feather people in this prison, how can you find it. ”
"That's right, I'm looking for a black feather man. He is your king, Ye Weixiang. ”
When Yan Che said Ye Weixiang's name, all the Black Feather people couldn't sit still. They leaned in front of the cage and asked suspiciously, "Do you know where the Black Feather King is, and why are you looking for him?"
"When I was in the human world, I figured out Ye Fengli this person, he is a thoughtful person, if something important is definitely placed by his side. But for man, he thinks that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. And this prison itself is a place where felons are kept, and no one must have thought of hiding Ye Weixiang here. ”
After hearing what Yan Che said, the Black Feather Clan sighed and said, "Then you are wrong, except for the prisoners and dead people passing by here, we have never seen the figure of the Black Feather King for so many years, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead. ”
Yan Che asked, "Have you seen an ordinary person imprisoned before?" This person is Ye Fengli's younger brother, and he probably came here to visit him. ”
Wuyu thought about it carefully and said, "There is indeed such a person, let Ye Fengli come to visit in person. That person is Ye Fengli's younger brother? ”
"Of course you don't know, it was the illegitimate child of Ye Weixiang and Ye Fengli's mother. ”
All the Black Feather people were shocked when they heard the news, and for a moment it was difficult to accept Yan Che's sudden throwing out such a big message. The people of the Black Feather were digesting the big news that Yan Che had said, and Yan Che saw that they didn't react and prepared to look around. At this time, one of the feathered people said: "Go to the innermost, and the boy who was captured was taken to the innermost cell. ”
Yan Che turned his head, looked at the feather man, and said to him, "Thank you, the feather emperor didn't give you freedom, I will give it to you later." ”
"Hmph, if you can save King Blackfeather, I'll give you my life. All the Black Feather people also echoed, and at this moment, Yan Che used a few words of his own to win people's hearts.
In the distance, Nie Ji was leading a large army back to Sky City. Although it was afternoon, it was not yet dark, and the feather man who flew at the end noticed that the sky was a little darker. He looked back and saw a large dark cloud behind him closing in on them. And when he took a closer look, he found that it was not actually a dark cloud, but a group of black feathered people formed in it.
He immediately shouted in front of him, saying that there was a black feather man behind him. Nie Ji immediately stopped, and when he looked back, he did find that there were many black feather people behind him, and they were on par with them in number. This is not possible, because the number of people who can receive meteor flowers is strictly limited, and there will simply not be so many people who can grow wings. Judging from their direction, they were flying from Kunpeng. In other words, as soon as he left on his front foot, those Black Feather Clan people followed, and the White Feather Clan soldiers on Kunpeng's back were estimated to be wiped out.
Nie Ji's heart sank, and he was puzzled: "How did they grow wings?"
