Chapter 3: Heaven
How did people in the past describe the sky? The poem says that it soars to 90,000 miles, and 90,000 miles is only a very small distance. A person can walk 90,000 miles in a lifetime, but it is difficult to fly more than ten meters into the sky. The sky is already a realm that is difficult for humans to explore at present, let alone the Nine Heavens beyond the sky.
What does life look like in high places? It's not really exciting. Just like the geese flying south, they still have to choose to perch on the ground in the end, and these winged feathered people must also be able to thrive on a large land. It is inseparable from the earth, which is the common denominator of all living things.
Zhou Yunlong was handed over to Yan Che by the Sword Master, and Yan Che pushed him to General Nie. Zhou Yunlong was extremely reluctant, turned around three times in one step, and still walked to General Nie's side. At this time, the two feathered people grabbed Zhou Yunlong's arms, and it seemed that they would take him to Sky City later.
General Nie thanked Yan Che and the others, and then prepared to return to the city. But when they took off, Yan Che suddenly called out to them.
"Wait a minute. Yan Che shouted to General Nie.
The feathers turned around, not knowing what Yan Che was going to do suddenly. General Nie asked, "When is the Demon King?"
Yan Che said: "Dare to ask what if you don't send Hua Huichun back after you go back?"
General Nie smiled: "Joke, my Yuhuang is full of words, how can I do such a thing as not believing in my words." Don't worry, once Zhou Yunlong returns to Sky City, we will send someone to escort Hua Huichun back. ”
"There is no basis for empty words, after all, it was not Ye Fengli who said it, and you are just a general. If Ye Fengli repents, then he is not a white wolf with empty gloves, what should he do if he still wants to leave Hua Huichun in Sky City to treat his mother's illness? I think, let's go together, we will personally bring Hua Huichun back, and it will save you all the hardship. ”
"No," General Nie stretched out his palm and said, "The location of Sky City is extremely important, and it is a matter of national security, so naturally you can't bring outsiders in." Below is Nie Ji, the general of the imperial sky, who is the general appointed by His Majesty the Emperor Yu. What I said was naturally what Yuhuang said, and of course it was reputable. ”
As soon as Nie Ji said this, Yan Che immediately found a flaw: "Wait a minute, what you just said is what Ye Fengli said." Could it be that Ye Fengli didn't say anything about sending Hua Huichun back?"
Nie Ji suddenly felt that he had made a mistake in his words, just as Yan Che expected, in fact, Ye Fengli didn't plan to let Hua rejuvenate and come back. Hua Huichun is indeed a generation of medical saints, and he is rejuvenating with wonderful hands, although he can't cure Ye Fengli's mother's heart disease, but the tonic decoction he prescribed did make Ye Fengli's mother Wei's face a lot ruddy, and he was already able to get out of bed and walk. Therefore, Ye Fengli wanted to leave Hua Huichun in Sky City and take care of his mother Wei all the time.
Nie Ji was thinking about how to respond to Yan Che, but he was actually looking for a reason to prevaricate. But what kind of person is Yan Che, how can he allow others to perfunctory him. He came this time to go to the floating islands in the sky, and Nie Ji's carelessness this time just gave him a chance.
"Okay, General Nie doesn't have to worry too much. In this way, you only take one of us there, and that person will bring Hua Huichun back immediately. If you are afraid that he will know the specific location of Sky City, you can blindfold him and tie his hands immediately. What do you think of this?"
Nie Ji thought about it carefully, the matter had come to this point, and he could only do what Yan Che said, otherwise the dozen or so of them might not be the opponents of the demons. So he asked Yan Che who he wanted to send with them.
Yan Che first looked back at everyone, and everyone was eager to try. After Yan Che glanced at it, he turned back to Nie Ji and said, "That person is me." ”
"What!" Nie Ji gasped, not expecting Yan Che to follow them to Sky City in person. You must know that Yan Che is the head of the demons, isn't he just giving up his life to let the Feather Emperor Ye Fengli control it? Ye Fengli has Yan Che, just like imprisoning the leader of the Black Feather Clan to control the Black Feather Clan, he can control the demons smoothly. However, Nie Ji thought about it carefully, and felt that things would not be so simple, if Yan Che followed them to Sky City to assassinate the Feather Emperor, then he would become a sinner.
Nie Ji was still thinking about it, and then Yan Che said to him with a smile: "What's the matter, are you afraid that I will go to the thorn leaf Fengli?"
Nie Ji was shocked in his heart, thinking that Yan Che still had the ability to read minds, how could he happen to know what he was thinking. The panicked expression on his face made Yan Che confirm what he thought in his heart, so Yan Che continued: "I see more than ten of you, all of you are fierce generals, and the realm is at least holy. Especially the general, you should be in the Holy Triple, and you are all masters who are about to enter the Haotian realm. With your realm, there should be few opponents in the whole world. Are you still afraid that I won't be able to do it?"
Yan Che's agitation had some effect, and those feather people listened to Yan Che and counted their feather people's strength was not good, and they were all impatient and wanted to make a move. Nie Ji hurriedly gave them a look and told them not to be impulsive. Yan Che continued: "If that's the case, it doesn't matter, you can blindfold me, tie my hands, and even put a knife on my neck. In this way, you can always rest assured, right? It's just that in this case, I can only go to see Ye Fengli empty-handed, and I can't bring any greeting gifts. ”
Even if Yan Che said this, and was even willing to let his opponent control him, the feathers were still afraid of him. After all, they had also heard that the demon Yan Che had single-handedly unified the six countries of the melee. Seeing the hesitant feathers, Yan Che couldn't help his temperament anymore. A stern aura suddenly burst out from his sharp eyes, and as the invisible ripples hit the eyes of the feathers, everyone was shocked by his majesty. Then Yan Che said solemnly: "If you don't agree, you have to agree, there is no room for refutation." If you don't do what I say, not only will you not be able to take people with you, but you will not be able to return to heaven. ”
Yan Che's words were obviously threatening them, these feather people were all soldiers of Sky City, even if they knew that Yan Che was strong, more than a dozen of them were not opponents, but they could not be killed, and they would rather die in battle than help the abuse. All of them drew their swords and spears and pointed them at Yan Che. The demons behind Yan Che also quickly came to Yan Che's front and set up a posture. At the moment of tension, Yan Che immediately waved his hand to signal the demons to retreat, which relieved the tense atmosphere.
"I'm a man of promises. I promised my human wife that I would unite the six nations without bloodshed. Now that I have done it, I also believe that Yuhuang is also a righteous gentleman. Although I am a demon, I will definitely not be convinced to say that I am a loyal person, but please believe me again. After all, you are not human, and I am going to kill you, and my wife will not blame me. ”
After Yan Che said this, his eyes were already full of murderous aura, looking at such a situation, Nie Ji had no room to refute. If you really want to burn the jade, no, only their share of destruction, the opponent will not have any loss. The population of the Feather People is already sparse, and these dozen or so people can be said to be the top strength of the Feather Clan's army. As soldiers, they are not afraid of formidable opponents. However, once they all die here, then the strength of the White Feather Clan in Sky City will be weakened. In case the people of the Black Feather tribe mutinied......
Nie Ji considered the consequences, so he said to Yan Che: "Please also ask the Demon King to enter Sky City with us, and don't do anything more." Otherwise, not only will Hua Huichun in the city worry about his life, but it is inevitable that my Yuhuang will declare war on your demon clan. The Feathered People have long had nothing to do with humans, and they are a race that surpasses them. Please also ask the Demon King not to treat us feathers as human beings. ”
After Nie Ji agreed, Yan Che showed a satisfied smile. The demons behind him approached, and they also wanted to follow Yan Che forward. Yan Che said no, once there were many people, his vigilance and precautions would be stricter. Moreover, he will find a way to lead everyone to Sky City. He gave everyone a look, and everyone understood it, stayed at the top of Jiufeng Mountain, and watched Yan Che leave with Yuren.
Yan Che was slammed into the eyes of the feathers and tied his hands, except for Nie Ji and the two feathers who were holding Zhou Yunlong, the rest of the people were all by Yan Che's side, staring at him tightly. Although Yan Che couldn't activate the spirit movement after being blindfolded, and he couldn't know the exact location of the specific entry into Sky City, he had his own way.
After Yan Che left, Duan Tianyun watched the distant Yuren disappear into the sky with Zhou Yunlong, knowing that he would never see his apprentice again, he was slightly disappointed and prepared to leave. At this time, Ghost Shili stopped him and told him not to leave.
"Why don't you go? I'm afraid they won't come back every few days, right?
"Old man with a sword, don't you care if your brother lives or dies, in case the feather people bring back a corpse, don't you have to stay here to collect the corpse?" the green wolf teased.
"No, both of us have promised each other that no matter who dies first, we will not collect each other's bodies or attend each other's funerals. But you, your young master, have been taken away, and you don't know how to stop them. ”
"Hahaha!" the demons laughed, "I'll tell you the truth, old man. The young master was taken away by them of his own volition, and you can see that he will definitely not go to Sky City this time to save your old friend. Because the young master's spiritual transfer technique can only be activated if he has seen the destination or been there. When he arrives in Sky City, he will be able to bring us over immediately. Under our feet, there have been sigils that he used to transfer. That's why I'll tell you not to leave until he arrives in Sky City, which is when our demons' footprints enter. You can also go with us, that Zhou Yunlong or Yi Shenghua Rejuvenation Whoever is the one will be saved by you. Because, when we come, we will go on a killing spree, and we can't take care of you. ”
When the Sword Saint heard that they were going to launch an offensive against the Yu Clan, he understood why Yan Che would enter the territory of the Yu Clan alone, just to let the other party relax, thinking that he was only one person, but he would not have thought that Yan Che had the ability to transfer his subordinates in a moment, so as to launch an offensive against Sky City.
"Why do you want to attack the Feather Clan? For thousands of years, the Feather Clan and our humans have not committed any crimes, and in the Second Great War of Gods and Demons, the Feather People also helped the humans to repel you. They are peace-loving people, so you have a reason to go on a campaign?"
The green wolf and the other demons looked at each other and smiled, and Ji Wumei came out to answer in his place, "Old man, there are many things you don't know. Just like some things, it's one thing for you to see with your eyes and one thing to hear with your ears, but the truth may be completely opposite to what you hear and see. The young master originally had no intention of moving Sky City, but it wasn't until Ghost Shili stayed there for a few days and told the young master what he saw and heard there, that the young master decided to choose the next target as Sky City. ”
"Hmph!" the Sword Master chuckled, "You are strong, and you are the ones who say anything." I just said that you shouldn't make conclusions just because you see it, you still just live there for a few days and make random conclusions about the Yu people?"
The green wolf listened to the sword saint's somewhat stubborn tone, and suddenly felt uncomfortable and said: "Hey, you guy, your mouth is quite hard! Forget it, whatever you want, whether you like to go or not, whether you like to stay or not, I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you." I'll just tell you once, when we get to Sky City, we won't have time to care about the others!"
The green wolf said this, and the sword master no longer reasoned with them. He seemed to vaguely see the future scene, and if the demon man played with human life at will, he didn't need a reason, just his temper. He shook his head and sighed, feeling that it was too hasty to bring about a war just because of one person's feelings.
Nie Ji led Yan Che and Zhou Yunlong on the way back to Sky City, Zhou Yunlong was still apprehensive when he was flying in the sky, and his courage and demeanor back then had not fully returned. The feather man on the side chuckled, saying that such a waste, why did the feather emperor take him back? And Yan Che's side, although his head was covered by a black cloth, his perception of the surroundings did not weaken. He smiled secretly in his heart and whispered to the person next to him, "It's so slow, how long will it take to arrive?"
The feather man who was guarding him on the side said, "What are you anxious about?"
Yan Che said: "Of course I'm in a hurry, this is the first time I've gone to heaven to see the people who live in heaven." ”
