Zhuo Hua turned back to Su Xin and said, "Su Xin, can you do me a favor?"

Su Xin said in a panic: "Where is Yuanshang, if you have anything to do, just tell Xin'er to do it, why be so polite." ”

Zhuo Hua said with a smile: "I want you to take Xiao Yu'er and practice with Song seniors under this Crouching Tiger Waterfall from tomorrow." In addition, select a hundred children of various ethnic groups who have just entered the school from the Cloud Palace and bring them together. As their teacher, if you don't know anything, you can ask the Song seniors. I will let the palace masters come here to guide you from time to time. After speaking, he looked at Song Xiang and asked, "Senior, do you think this arrangement is good?"

Song Xiang still had a nonchalant expression, and waved his big hand and said: "What's so difficult about this, the old man will help you keep an eye on it, I'll see which little cub dares to be lazy." ”

Su Xin stepped forward to receive the order, and at the same time asked with some doubts: "Yuan Shang, what you just said was to select the children of the Seven Immortal Clans or to include those Demon Clans in the Cloud Palace?"

Zhuo Hua stared at Su Xin for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Xin'er! In addition, among those demon clan servants in the Cloud Palace, you can also choose some people with excellent qualifications and roots to join. ”

Song Xiang nodded and said: "Now that the relationship between the four demon clans is complicated, the patriarchs of the dragon and shark clans have openly rebelled, and the hearts of the children in their clan are not easy to judge at present, and it is understandable to isolate them temporarily." ”

Su Xin was very happy, she had always felt very inferior as a demon clan. This feeling is especially prominent after entering Genting Heavenly Palace. The vast majority of the Genting Heavenly Palace are the children of the Seven Immortal Clans, and the first-class ones are also the Demon Clans that were amazing in the ancient era, and these powerful and brutal races have always been rampant and domineering on the mainland.

And a demon clan like her, who was born from a humble background, is the most ordinary beast, bird, insect and fish in the void, although she has experienced thousands of years of spirituality, and then she has to go through a lot of hardships to have a certain amount of cultivation. Every ten years, the Genting Heavenly Palace will go to the mortal world to select those demon clans who have turned into human forms, and flood them into the cloud palace for people to drive. Although this errand is very hard, and the status is also the lowest, many demon clans think that it is the honor of being selected into the Cloud Palace, after all, being able to be a servant of God is not an ordinary person.

Su Xin was selected by the demon clan in a routine selection of the demon clan back then, and after being favored by the Lanling Fairy, she followed her as a personal maid, and occasionally taught her one or two Xuanhuang introductory exercises and a Qi Determination Bead. It's just that after the Lanling Fairy disappeared mysteriously, she was left in the snowy mountains. Out of helplessness, she could only start the businessless business for Kou, until she met Zhuo Hua and them.

But since she came to this Genting Heavenly Palace, many people have been respectful to Zhuo Hua in her face, but behind her back, they said that she came from the wrong way, offered to flatter the lord, borrowed color to be superior, etc., and the gossip was very unbearable.

Su Xin said in an excited voice: "Thank you Yuan Jun for bringing us demon clan. Su Xin must do his best and dare not slack off in the slightest. ”

Half a bowl of clouds and a bowl of fish

Yellow leaves follow the wind to find autumn mud

The sunset lingers over the clouds

It doesn't warm the world, it doesn't warm the heart

--- "Lanling Poems"

In the primeval jungle of Nanyanzhou, there is an inaccessible valley. Miasma is rampant here all year round, and jackals, tigers and leopards are infested from time to time. It's been a long, long time since the War of the Ancients, and no one has bothered you.

An army in strange costumes is silently marching through this murderous and devouring jungle. They were all tall and burly, with white fur helmets on their heads, and their faces were dressed, and they looked very tired, but they were still very neatly formed.

At this point, a fork in the road appeared in front of the team. A bearded man at the head of the group raised his right fist sharply and shouted, "The whole army is resting in place." As soon as the words fell, the entire army immediately stopped, and the soldiers sat down one after another to take out their water bottles and drink water, wanting to take advantage of this short time to quickly replenish their strength.

The bearded man shouted, "Where are the scouts?"

A scout with a bow and arrow on his back, a horizontal sword at his waist, and a short fight at his waist, stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, and held a sheepskin map above his head with both hands, and presented it to the bearded man.

The bearded man grabbed the sheepskin map, opened it and asked, "Can you find out where our army is?"

The scout looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and his immature face had a capable look. He replied briefly: "General Qiqi Yuan, according to the signs on this ancient map, this place should be called Shayue Gu, but just now his subordinates have run around to check the environment, and the route they came over before has been correct, but there is only a jungle here, there is no valley, and the fork in front of him does not appear on the sheepskin map." ”

The bearded man known as General Yuan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then instructed the scout, "Dewey, you go and call Master Lang." ”

The scout, known as Dewey, clenched his fists and quickly left.

After a while, a man in his forties with three beards and a short beard followed Dewey to General Yuan.

The man in the Confucian robe gave a gentle salute and asked, "The general called Lang to come first, what is the matter?"

General Yuan waved his hand and motioned for Lang to come forward and listen carefully. General Yuan said: "I called the military division here because I encountered a thorny problem, there was a fork in the road in front of us, and this road was not marked on this ancient map. General Yuan shook the tawny parchment map in his hand.

Lang first reached out and took the map and looked at it carefully. General Yuan said: "It's not just this thing, originally there should be a valley called Shayue Valley marked on this map, but our scouts ran around the neighborhood and didn't find any shadow of the valley. That's why I asked Dewey to call you over to discuss. ”

Lang Xian frowned, looked at the map without saying a word, and said for a long time: "We just looked at this ancient map to march all the way to this place, and we didn't make any mistakes before." According to Lang Xian's shallow opinion, the map left by General Yuan Kang to us will definitely not be wrong. ”

At this time, Dewey interjected: "But the military advisor, I have run all over the vicinity, and I have seen a large area of primeval woods, and I have not found any trace of the valley!"

Lang Xian said: "Judging from the distance on the map, the Covering Moon Valley is not far ahead. My suggestion is that the army camp in its place, and go out in two waves of scouts along the main road and the fork in the road for a hundred miles. We're here to wait for the results of our investigation before making a decision. ”

The bearded man known as General Yuan said with an anxious face: "But the military advisor, my brother told us that day that we must rush to the Covering Moon Valley in the great jungle of Nanyanzhou on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, and then wait for the arrival of the Secret Pioneer King in the King's Landing in the valley. Seeing that the days are running out, it will be a waste of time for us to divide our troops to investigate. My brother said that if he missed this opportunity at midnight on the seventh day of July, he would have to wait for the next year. ”

Na Lang stroked his short hair first and said, "General, there is no better way at the moment, and it is a safe strategy to divide troops to investigate." You see, these troops of more than 1,000 people are now short of food and clothing, and they are exhausted by the continuous marching for several months, and besides, the miasma is rampant in this jungle, and many of the soldiers are sick. Divide the troops to explore first, firstly, so that the army can get enough rest, and secondly, it can also thoroughly survey the nearby terrain. ”

Before Lang Xian finished speaking, Yuan Dahan sneered at him and said, "Don't you dare to go any further? Don't you forget what you promised my brother at the beginning." ”

Lang Xian roared angrily: "Yuan Ji, what do you mean by this? I am friends of life and death with Yuan Kang, and my promise to him is evident from heaven and earth. You don't need to be suspicious. I have abandoned my family and business to come to this wild land with you, and my wife and children are now uncertain, do you still need to doubt my determination?"

Yuan Ji was also a little embarrassed when he heard what he said, so he opened his mouth to comfort him and said: "Master Lang is angry, Yuan Ji is a rough person, and my brother has become suspicious after being sucked into that strange circle." Don't be surprised. I naturally know that you and my brother are friends of life and death, and our Spirit Helmet Army are all warriors who have been brutalized by the Seven Clans of the Immortal Descent, and no one is a bad seed. ”

At this time, Dewey opened his mouth and said, "Could it be that this map is wrong?"

Lang Xian vetoed: "There will definitely be no such mistakes, this picture was told to General Yuan Kang by the Lanling Fairy himself, and all the routes are also described by the fairy himself, and there will definitely be no mistakes." ”

Dewey muttered in a low voice: "The situation in this big jungle is complicated, and the climate changes three times a day. Even the Lanling Fairy may not be sure that the route is exactly right. We've all been wandering around this forest for so long that we can't find any clues to the temple. ”

Lang first glared at Dewey, and scolded in a deep voice: "What do you know? These are all sacred relics left over from ancient times, if you can find them by casually shopping twice, what is the difference between them and going to the market to buy mountain goods? Moreover, the name of this valley is so special, it is called the Valley of the Covering Moon, it must be related to the moon." Did you see any special terrain or landforms during your exploration?"

Dewey thought for a moment and then shook his head and said, "We've all looked around this area, and we haven't seen any valleys except for a few streams. It can't be called the Valley of the Moon, but it's a mountain! Then our sages are too good at fooling around. ”

"I think you're fooling around!" Lang raised his hand first, pretending to fight.

At this time, Yuan Ji ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army is camped in place. Dewey, you take fifteen people to the fork in the road to investigate, and you must return after a hundred miles, and give you three days' rations, and remember that you must return within three days. ”

Lang first asked, "What about the other team of scouts?"

Yuan Ji spit out a grassroots root in his mouth, looked at the blue brick avenue in front of him with deep eyes, and said, "I'll go to the other team myself." ”
