Chapter Twenty-Six: Across the Mountains Like Worlds

A month, thirty days, four hundred and twenty hours, not long, not short. Yan Tiege and Yuhuang Ye Feng left the agreement that a month later, Zhou Yunlong would be handed over to him. The day of the handover was also the day Yan Che set his journey into the sky.

During this time, they need to prepare for future trips, but also make proper arrangements for past trips to avoid wasting their efforts.

Because the demons came from Yongguo, and the ghost Shili also went to heaven with Yi Shenghua Huichun to treat the mother of Yuhuang Ye Fengli, the plan for the renovation of the Yongguo desert and the improvement of the living standards of the people of Yongguo will be slowed down. Ghost Shili is the only talisman in the demons who can control the soil, and without him, it will become very self-locking and inefficient to spread a layer of dirt on the sparse sand. As I said before, a month is both a long and a short time. When he started to prepare the materials for going to Sky City, Yan Che still thought about helping Jiang Mengsheng a little more when he was still in Yongguo. It just so happened that Fu Qinggu was also born here. The human and demon couple, who haven't seen each other for a long time, it's time to end their Cold War period.

If Jiang Mengsheng was not in Lanling City in Yongguo, Fu Qinggu would really return to the state of a peasant woman or even a shrew. Fu Qinggu was still angry about Yan Che's killing of a mother and daughter in the last acting, but fortunately, Jiang Mengsheng acted as a mediator in the middle, and she and Yan Che could at least sit down and eat together. is also because Yan Che led the demons, and he also personally did the reconstruction of Yongguo, commanding the demons and the people of Yongguo to move sand, gravel and soil from Yunguo under the scorching sun to fill the land of Yongguo.

Speaking of Yunguo, it is also strange. After losing a general like Zhou Yunlong, there was no news coming out of it. It is also unknown how they deal with the demons who are about to enter their territory. The Sword Master took Zhou Yunlong and did not go to the Cloud Kingdom, but returned to the cliff where he lived in seclusion in the north of the Qi Kingdom, lived with Zhou Yunlong, and took him back to his lost self.

Since there is no news from Yunguo, then simply go and check the situation in person. For the records of the Sky City Feather Clan, except for the "Book of Eternity" in Yan Tiege's hand, there are some simple records, except for the battle between gods and demons a hundred years ago, there is no detailed content in the past hundred years. Since Zhou Yunlong was born there, perhaps Yunguo has some information about the Yu Clan. Yan Che still remembered that that day the Feather Emperor Ye Fengli had told him that Zhou Yunlong was thrown into the world by her mother from the air. According to this reason, Sky City is very likely to be in the sky above the Cloud Country. However, this conjecture was denied by Yan Tiege.

Yan Tiege said that most people should live on Kunpeng's back. That Kunpeng is one of the two Kunpeng in the Dead Sea of the Demon Realm. The kun grew wings and became a flying fish that could fly into the sky, hence the name Kunpeng. But the Kunpeng's wings can't be retracted, which means that the Kunpeng will hover in the air all its life and will never be able to land. Because the Kunpeng is constantly flying, the Sky City inhabited by the Yu people should also follow the Kunpeng's movement, and it can't be fixed.

However, in fact, the Yu people really have a fixed residence, after all, there are no humans and demons involved in the sky, so they don't have a deep understanding of the Yu Clan.

The colorful glazed stones used by Nuwa to mend the sky back then had the characteristics of floating, and some of the colorful glazed stones encountered in the Qianlong Kingdom were one of them. Those colorful glazed stones gathered together in the air, slowly fused into a large stone, and finally turned into small islands, and those small islands were where some of the Yu people lived. Most people will still stay on Kunpeng's back, and there is a reason why they should stay on Kunpeng's back.

When Ghost Shili and Yi Shenghua Rejuvenation were brought to the sky by Ye Fengli, they stopped moving in the air. The place where they stood happened to be a windless belt, and under their feet was a surging wind belt. Looking down, the earth is in full view, which makes people shudder. If you accidentally fall down, not only will you have to bear huge psychological pressure in the air, but the thought of turning into meat puree after you land is really uncomfortable. It seems that even if human beings have the ability to fly, when they are really at an altitude of 10,000 meters, they will have weak legs because of the cold in the high places.

It didn't take long for something to swell in the white clouds in the distance. Ghost Shili squinted, as if there were city walls exposed at the upper end of the white clouds. It seems that these houses are able to fly in the air on their own. However, when the city rushed out of the sea of clouds, the ghost Shili and the medical saint saw clearly that it was not the city that could move, but a behemoth carrying these cities. Those outstretched wings, I don't know how many thousand miles wide, are like a country separated from the earth and regrowing in the pure land of the sky.

As Kunpeng approached, Ghost Shili and the Medical Saint could only see a small part of Kunpeng's body, and then Ye Fengli took them on Kunpeng's back, and they didn't have a chance to see Kunpeng's full appearance.

Stepping on Kunpeng's back, the medical saint thought it would be as slippery as stepping on the back of a fish, but he didn't expect Kunpeng's back to be very strong, as hard as for the time being. The Kunpeng never moves when it flies in the air, so it won't feel like it will shake when you step on its back. Kunpeng's back and body are just between the windless belt and the flowing wind belt, so the wind and waves on Kunpeng's back are calm, almost exactly the same as the situation on the ground.

The Feather Emperor landed, and there were already many Feather People waiting on the ground. They prepared a sedan chair to carry the feather emperor into the palace, and the four feather people who were responsible for carrying the sedan chair, their wings were black, presumably these feather people were the "black feather clan" that the feather emperor said.

Ghost Shili and the medical saint followed Emperor Yu's team to the palace, and were arranged to live by Emperor Yu's men. They looked closely at the buildings and found that the houses here had no stairs, and the high-rise buildings were separated from each other, and there would be a door frame without a door. Thinking about it, the feathered people who can fly don't need stairs and windows at all, so it's completely different from the architectural style on the earth. Ghost Shili and the Doctor were arranged in the same room at the same time, and someone came to clean the room for them. Ghost Shili asked one of the female feathers, "Didn't Emperor Yu take us to treat his mother, why did he arrange us here?"

The maid replied, "The Empress Dowager of the Yu Clan is in Sky City, not here. ”

Ghost Shili wondered, "In Sky City, isn't this Sky City?"

The maid smiled, "Of course not. It will take three days to return to Sky City, and you will stay here for three days first, and then I will bring you there. Emperor Yu has instructed that during these three days, you are not allowed to leave, you must not move around at will, and most importantly, do not talk to the crows. ”

"Crows?" Ghost Shili and the Doctor Saint were curious about what kind of birds the crows in the maid's mouth meant, but the maid said impatiently: "Those with black wings, they are the lowest people in the Feather Clan, and they are all insidious and cunning, uneasy and kind-hearted. Don't ask anything else, you just came to see the Queen Mother of the Yu Clan, maybe you won't be able to help in any way. Even the doctors of the Yu clan can't cure the disease, what can you two human old men do. Also, we Yu people only eat once a day, so you only have one meal a day. If it's too little, when we get to Sky City, throw you back to the ground, and you can eat as much as you want. With that, the maid tidied up the room and hurried away.

Hua Huichun said to Ghost Shili: "This little girl is really a little unsightly." ”

Ghost Shili touched his beard and replied, "They feel that they are a more noble race than humans, and naturally they look down on humans, so it's okay." I don't have to eat, old man, I'll give you that meal when the time comes. ”

Hua Huichun looked at the ghost Shili and said, "You are not a human being, your face is bloodless, and you are a walking corpse. I dare to ask what your true identity is?"

Seeing Hua Huichun probing himself, Ghost Shili smiled and said, "Don't worry, sooner or later you will know who I am, because every human will eventually see me." This trip to the sky is not in vain, I have traveled to various countries in the past, but I have never entered the sky. Now I know that Kunpeng's back is not Sky City. It seems that Sky City should be fixed in the sky somewhere. The Kunpeng's trajectory in the Wind Belt is fixed, so it will circle around the sky above the earth and eventually return to Sky City. ”

Hua Huichun was very interested in Ghost Shili, especially the last time he saw that he could easily save Mo Feixue, and he was also impressed by his superb medical skills. Strictly speaking, Ghost Shili may not be using medical techniques, but the great method of resurrection that he can't set foot in. Now that the house they are in is guarded, they can't come and go as they please. Except for the two beds, the house is empty, and it can be said that the four walls of the house are empty. After being dragged in the air for a day, Hua Huichun's old bones couldn't stand it, and he was ready to lie down and rest. However, Ghost Shili had no intention of resting, but wanted to go out.

Hua Huichun said: "If you go out, they may use force against you." ”

"It's okay, they can't help me. It's a rare time to visit, so you can't miss the opportunity to get to know this place. A month later, it will be the day when the young master will hand over Zhou Yunlong to the Yu clan, or it will also be the time when the demon clan will enter here. Oni Shili walked out of the house, and at first, the shouts of the guards were heard outside, and soon, the shouting stopped. Hua Huichun stayed in the house, knowing that he had nothing to help, and fell asleep.

That day, Yan Che's family had dinner together, and at the same table were Jiang Mengsheng, Fu Qinggu, Yan Tiege and a young man with tanned skin. This young man was the only survivor of the many people who died of the drought in the village where the drought was unearthed. Jiang Mengsheng knew the deeds of this water man from all sides, and knew from his unremitting efforts that he was a young backbone who would persevere in the future and not take the wrong path, so he was transferred out of that village and asked him to take over the baton of Yongguo and let Yongguo open a new chapter.

For the first time, the man who dug the well was called Umat, and for the first time he was eating at the same table as the Holy Maiden of Men and the Demon King of the Mixed World, because it was difficult to swallow because of fear. During this period, Yan Che also used mind-reading techniques on Umat, and found that this guy was indeed as Jiang Mengsheng said, he was a very honest and hardworking person, without much desire, and was a suitable person to manage a place. Yan Che saw that he was trembling, and he couldn't say anything to make him relaxed, so it was better to make a joke with him and ease the atmosphere. After all, his wife is at the same table, and he doesn't dare to do anything excessive.

Yan Che said to Umat: "Next we are going to the Cloud Country, there will be no demons left here, how do you plan to arrange the next policy of the Yong Kingdom?"

As if he had just woken up from a dream, Umat was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The desert management must continue, but there is no need to completely disappear the desert, because there are still many creatures that need to rely on the front to survive, such as the cactus we often eat, only in the desert will it be tender and watery, and it will rot in a few days on the soil." There is also a gap in the mountains to the east, and the next step is to build roads to keep the roads to the north and east unimpeded, and the movement of people can drive local wealth and increase the population. ”

Yan Che nodded, quite satisfied with his answer, and then joked with him, "We really helped you, how are you going to repay us?"

As soon as he heard Yan Cheti's return, Umat didn't know what to do, so he rubbed his thigh with his hand and said: "The Demon King and the Holy Maiden are our benefactors, no matter what you ask for, we will not be able to reciprocate, and we don't know what the Demon King wants, if you have any requirements, we will be satisfied." ”

Yan Che tapped the table and said, "That's good, we all have the habit of eating people, can you send a few people to us every month?"

As soon as Yan Che finished eating people, Umat fell off the table in fright, and the demons watching the excitement at the other table burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, Fu Qinggu, who was more serious, heard it, slapped the table hard, pointed at Yan Che's nose and said, "What did you just say?" ”

Fu Qinggu really has the momentum of a queen now, which made Yan Che speechless. Lying on the ground, Umat was still strange, this pregnant woman was He De and how could she dare to point at the demon's nose and speak. Yan Che immediately understood that he was joking, and told Fu Qinggu that he was just joking. Fu Qinggu didn't give up, so Jiang Mengsheng asked Fu Qinggu to sit down, saying that Yan Che was definitely just joking. At the same time, he also lifted up Umat and told him that demons do not eat people.

Umat sat back in his seat tremblingly, and his chopsticks didn't dare to move. Yan Che also knew that he couldn't joke, so he got serious and said to Umat: "Just now the princess said that I don't eat people, which is true, but my subordinates are very fond of human flesh. In the future, if you become a mediocre person, I can't stop them from eating you. You just said that you are going to build a road to the east to the Cloud Kingdom, and I ask you, what do you think of the Cloud Kingdom?"

Yan Che obviously wanted to know what the transition that was blocked by the deep mountains was like. Umat thought for a moment, then said, "We have almost nothing there. Because Yunguo is a country that rarely communicates with the outside world, the development of that path is also to strengthen the understanding of them. It can be said that beyond a mountain, the other side of the mountain is another world for us. ”

Yan Che put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the demons saw Yan Che put down the chopsticks, their eyes changed, and they also stopped eating. Yan Che said to Umat: "You continue to do the road, and at the same time you are ready. We are about to enter the deep mountains and old forests, and we don't know if they are a group of people who can communicate, or if they will resist like Qi Guo. If there's a war here, do you know what you're going to do?"

At the mention of war, Fu Qinggu's heart was uneasy. This lunch, perhaps because of some hot weather, has become a little difficult to swallow.
