Chapter 3 Return
The inside of the cave was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. The seal of the cave was reopened, and both Shinaki Abe and Juro Yanagi heard the shouting of the wine swallowing boy outside the seal. Yanagi asked Abe, "Is it okay for the big tengu to be out alone?"
"Don't underestimate any youkai, they, like humans, have no upper limit to their abilities. Although it can't be said that he can defeat the drunken boy, it should be no problem to retreat with his whole body. It took me a lot of effort to convince him to let go of his wariness of humans, so let's find Demon Knife as soon as possible. Shinaki Abe took out a paper figure from his arms, and after the paper figure was thrown out by him, he turned into a Shikijin lantern ghost. A red lantern has a pair of large eyes and a tongue spewing out of it. Abe asked the lantern ghost to illuminate the cave and lead the way, and the two followed the lantern ghost through the long, narrow cave.
As I walked, smoke appeared in the cave. The smoke was so thick that even the light of the lantern ghost could not see the road ahead. Yanagi was surprised, he couldn't live in the cave, where did the smoke come from? He was about to tell Abe what he was thinking, only to find that he had been separated from Abe, and only the lantern ghost was left in front of him. The lantern ghost seemed to feel frightened, and he made a frightened sound, and the candlelight in the lantern grew dimmer and finally went out. Yanagi wanted to go over and pick up the lantern, but found that the lantern ghost was gone, and a paper figure was left on the ground. Yagyu shouted Abe's name in the darkness, but Abe did not reply. He knew that there were still strange things in this cave, but fortunately the darkness was not difficult for him, he closed his eyes and used his heart sword to fly cherry blossoms to perceive the road ahead, but he couldn't find Abe's qi along the way, so he could only continue to walk towards the cave.
And Abe's side also found that he and Yanagi were separated, to be precise, not separated, but someone deliberately separated them. Abe Shinaki's side was filled with smoke, and he had already seen that the smoke was strange, so he took out a talisman and threw it on the ground, and then the ground formed an enchantment that emitted white light. The white light formed a barrier, illuminating his surroundings like a lantern. A thick cloud of smoke was already around him, encircling Abe. The smoke approached Abe, stopping at the edge of the barrier, and then in the midst of the smoke, a human face seemed to appear. Abe seemed to have an answer and blurted out: "Is it Yanyanluo?"
Yanagi closed his eyes tightly and walked in the dark cave until he sensed a huge breath at the end of the cave, and he was finally about to reach the location of the demon sword. At the end, Yanagi's eyelids felt a faint light, and he slowly opened his eyes, glowing with a faint purple light on a stone stool, and a long knife was inserted in the stone stool, and that knife must be the Demon Knife. Yanagi looked around and didn't find anything wrong, scanning it with the flying cherry blossoms, but also didn't find the sigil trap. He took a cautious step and walked straight to the stone mill. The qi on this demon knife is really very powerful, even if it is not in the hands of people, the qi in the blade is constantly overflowing, it can be seen that the power of this knife is indeed huge, no wonder it can cause huge damage to the wine swallowing boy at that time. Liu Sheng stretched out his right hand and was about to pick up the demon knife, when a warning came from the passage behind him: "Don't touch it!" The demon knife on the stone pier suddenly burst out violently, surrounding Liu Sheng, and then rushed to Abe Jinming from the passage, and after seeing Liu Sheng, he shouted: "One step late!"
On the coastline east of Haizhou, the soldiers who stayed in the seaside barracks were moving things on a sea boat, and a man rested on the bow of the boat, looking at the sea level. At this time, he saw that there seemed to be a ship approaching in the distance, he squinted his eyes, put his palm on his brow to block the sun, and finally saw that the three ships that came were the ships in his barracks. In other words, Yan Che and they returned safely.
The messenger of the post station quickly whipped up and brought the news of the return of the demon king to Pei'an City. In the palace of Pei'an City, Fu Qinggu and Jiang Mengsheng were overjoyed, and walked to the gate of the East City Gate together to wait for good news. Yan Che and the others had just stepped down from the boat and were immediately greeted warmly. Most of these people who welcomed them weren't sincere, but they were just pretending in front of the demons. What are their real thoughts? The real thoughts are: It's amazing, these demons can't even defeat the monsters in the sea, and in the future, they will cover the sky on the earth with one hand, and the human world will never be at peace. But the reaction of the trolls was very real, they saw that their companions had returned unharmed, and everyone embraced each other enthusiastically. Although the fish intestines did not come back with them, they also brought back good news. The demons have already negotiated with the Sea Tribes, and in the future, humans can freely enter and exit the sea, and they can also trade with the Sea Tribesmen, and the sea will no longer be a dangerous place, but will become a rich treasure land that can be explored. The fish intestine has become the leader of the Sea Tribe, and it is not convenient to come to the earth with them, but there is a woman from the Jiao tribe who returned to the shore together. The human beings saw a beautiful woman with antlers on her head and a crystal clear body in the crowd, and that woman was the Jiao people. She is already the wife of the demon, and she is married to the shark at sea. After seeing the demons, human beings saw Jiaoren again, and they all sighed that there were still many creatures they didn't know in this world, and those they had never met were actually the same as them for tens of thousands of years, all of them were human beings.
Yan Che and they returned to Pei'an along the avenue, and Jiaoren Ao Ji also sighed that the flowers along the way, the green mountains and green waters, which were beautiful colors that could not be seen in the ocean, and the warm air on the earth also made her feel novel. In fact, the so-called Xintiandi is just the yearning of people who have never set foot in an unknown place, and in the near future, if human beings strengthen their contacts with the Sea Tribe, it is estimated that more and more people will resonate with the same thing: This world is actually very big, but they have never stepped out of their own one-third of an acre.
Shark Po Evil grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and handed it to Ao Ji. Ao Ji took it in her hand and asked about the taste of the earth. The dry soil is completely different from the soil in the sea, and she asks the shark what is so special about the soil on the earth?
Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing. It's completely different from people living in the ocean. Humans can feed themselves without taking the resources of the earth and without plundering, while people in the sea cannot. Food cannot be grown in the sea, and the people of the sea tribe do not have the concept of farming, they do not know how to plan for the future, and today they are hungry, so they go to the sea to fish and eat, and they do not think that the fish will be overcaught and the number will be reduced, after all, they do not have the concept of farming. Being prepared for danger in times of peace and having a long-term vision is her first impression of human beings.
Still, humans seem to be afraid of them, and that gap still exists. Along the way, there were people who saw the demons' troops walking towards Pei'an City, and they showed respect in front of the demons, and once the demons were far away, they would show the expressions of the rest of their lives. Could it be that when she comes to this new world, it will be a place of right and wrong?
The troops finally returned to Pei'an, and Fu Qinggu and Jiang Mengsheng had been waiting there for a long time. Yan Che got out of the carriage, Jiang Mengsheng bowed to him in the distance, but Fu Qinggu ran in front of Yan Che with an arrow and threw himself into his arms. Fu Qinggu whispered in Yan Che's ear, saying that when she saw the difference in the sky, the sea was surging with lightning and thunder, and she thought that she was going to be a widow soon after she got married. Yan Che was also relieved in his heart, but he didn't expect his wife to be thinking about him during the time he was away, and he had counted her on the boat, so he felt a little embarrassed. But it was also strange how she became so gentle, Yan Che, who didn't understand a woman's heart, asked her somehow: "Did you take the wrong medicine?, why did you become so sympathetic to me?" As soon as Yan Che said this, Fu Qinggu immediately jumped down from his arms and punched him in the stomach. Yan Che couldn't help but laugh when he saw Fu Qinggu return to his original appearance.
Fu Qinggu saw that there was an unseen woman in the returning crowd, and stared at her curiously. Seeing that Fu Qinggu noticed Ao Ji, the shark broke the evil and introduced it to Fu Qinggu.
"Young grandma, this is my wife who just passed through the door, and she is a princess of the Jiao clan named Ao Ji. After Ao Ji introduced herself to the Shark Breaking Evil, she realized that the somewhat tough woman in front of her was actually the wife of the Demon King, and she immediately bowed to Fu Qinggu. After getting up, he looked at Fu Qinggu, and found that Fu Qinggu did not have demonic energy on his body, he was an ordinary human being, and he was a little surprised in his heart: the demon king actually married a human being? This demon king's approach is really confusing, perhaps it is precisely because of such a demon who does not play cards according to the routine that the sea clan has such a new side today.
Yan Che and the others returned to the palace, they only planned to rest for a few days, and after Yan Che replenished the huge body consumed by entering the awakening state, they immediately set off for Lai Kingdom. After liberating the ocean, the sea of mist will be lifted, and the sea people will also become an important part of the liberation of the country to eliminate the evil gods, so they must cherish the time, but also not rush for quick success.
Fu Qinggu is a warm person, and Ao Ji integrates here quickly. Ao Ji shared with them what the world in the water was like, and the two listened to it with relish, and told her about what it was like in the human society, and Ao Ji listened very tastefully. Especially when she was curious about how Fu Qinggu got together with the Demon King, Fu Qinggu had the bragging skills of ordinary people, saying that it was her majesty that conquered the Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan wanted to have a contract with her. After listening to Fu Qinggu's grinning speech, Ao Ji couldn't stop laughing. Fu Qinggu turned to ask her how Shark Po Xie courted her, and Ao Ji's answer surprised them. Ao Ji had only met once before becoming the wife of Shark Poxie, and Ao Ji had been in a coma at the time, and when she woke up, Shark Po Evil proposed to her, and she actually agreed in a daze, and she still didn't understand why she agreed. Maybe it was an unintentional decision that led to lifelong happiness. Her reply also surprised Fu Qinggu and Jiang Mengsheng, saying that Ao Ji is a courageous woman, and a person with a vicious face like Shark Po Evil can also promise her future. When Ao Ji was also curious about how the demon clan maintained this once-in-a-century relationship with human beings, Jiang Mengsheng talked to her about the special features of Yan Che's identity, and talked about the Nuwa clan, the war between gods and demons three thousand years ago, and the predecessor of the demon and the changes in this world, and the three women talked about it late at night, talking freely.
Early the next morning, the sun was as bright as ever, Fu Qinggu chatted with Ao Ji and Jiang Mengsheng late at night last night, and went to bed very late. By the time she opened her eyes and wanted to get up to make breakfast for Yan Che, Yan Che was no longer in bed. Said that you have a good recuperation and rest, why don't you sleep for a while, where did you go early in the morning?
Fu Qinggu walked around in the palace, and he seemed to be a little sleepy without sleeping. Listening to the palace maid who cleaned the ground in the early morning, Yan Che went to the place where Zhao Yige lived early in the morning. Fu Qinggu went to Zhao Yige's residence, where he met Yan Che and Zhao Yige.
Seeing that Yan Che and Zhao Yige were cultivating early in the morning, Fu Qinggu was still a little worried in his heart. She had seen Yan Che's weak appearance after entering the awakened state before, and the overeating appearance at that time really scared her, and now she didn't have a good rest, and pulling a human to cultivate there early in the morning was simply not cherishing her life. Even if you demon can live for hundreds of years, you can't withstand such a toss, right? Fu Qinggu came to Yan Che's side, counted him down, and asked him to hurry back to his room to rest, and get up again at noon to eat. Yan Che naturally obediently obeyed and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Fu Qinggu told him that she also wanted to go to Laiguo. Yan Che suddenly returned to what happened in Laiguo in the past, and he had lost Zhao Yige because of his carelessness, and he still had palpitations. He didn't want Fu Qinggu to put his life in danger, but he couldn't say anything about her, so he had to agree in the end. But he can't let her just go over, what should she do if she falls into the same predicament again? Before leaving, he gave Zhao Yige a character, that is, to ask him to teach Fu Qinggu how to use qi.
When Fu Qinggu heard this, he was both excited and worried. She was excited that she could also have a strong skill like those heroes, and she was worried about whether a peasant woman like her could become a cultivator who could only become one in a million? The next few days were the first time she had been with the so-called "qi" in the cultivator's mouth.
