Chapter 254: The Heart of a Tiger and a Wolf, a Matter of Benevolence and Righteousness
As soon as the Demon Spirit Realm Beast King died, the vast beast sea dragons were leaderless, and they suddenly fell into a panic.
The wildness of the low-level demon beast was exposed, and it scurried around angrily and uneasily, and was easily slashed by the sword by the disciples of the three sects.
The slightly intelligent demon beast knew that the general trend was gone, and quietly disappeared and retreated towards the Chiyan Mountain Range.
The vast beast tide rippled again, but this time it was heading towards the Chiyan Mountain Range.
The beasts are like a tidal wave that has exhausted its kinetic energy and has no choice but to fade, and the ferocity when the war opens no longer exists, and the monsters are gray with their tails between their legs, and all those who run slowly are killed.
War comes and goes fast.
Xiao Yu looked at the billowing smoke and dust brought up by the demon beasts around him, and his murderous intent was restrained.
These ordinary demon beasts are just chess pieces, and in this murderous chess game, Qianfeng Guo finally won a move!
After a short cheer and celebration, there was a thick tiredness and heaviness.
Too many people have died in this war.
The corpses of the human race and the demon beasts outside the Falling Dragon Pass were stacked on top of each other, and it was impossible to tell whose blood was the Yin Red on the ground.
There were their friends, enemies, and strangers passing by.
For the first time, the teenagers experienced the iron and ruthlessness of the military, and the initial excitement had been replaced by the current abrupt color.
"Let's go back. ”
Xiao Yu wiped a handful of blood from his face, a strong smell of rust.
At the beginning of October, the Falling Dragon Pass was a great victory, and the guard general Zhang Chi fought against the demon beasts for seven days, and repeatedly sent troops without tasting a defeat.
The demon beast of the Demon Spirit Realm broke the rules without authorization, and was killed by the three sect masters in one blow.
The victory of Qianfeng was great, and the whole country rejoiced.
However, no one will remember that more than 30,000 corpses were buried outside the Falling Dragon Pass.
The soldiers who cleaned the battlefield couldn't clean it up, so they had no choice but to pile up the remaining corpses and cremate them.
The raging fire raged into the sky and continued for three days.
Xiao Yu stood on the city tower, all his injuries had healed.
On the eve of the outbreak of war, he stood in the same position, with great pride and ambition in his heart.
And now, the frivolous excitement has faded a lot, and there is a faint cloud of sorrow between his eyebrows, and the fire outside the gate is reflected in his eyes, broken into fine light.
Duan Yuxi appeared beside him, just like that cool night.
The difference is that last time she was carrying a pot of spirits in her hand, this time she was a cute little beast.
The little beast jumped on Xiao Yu's head angrily and grabbed his hair:
"Barbecue!"
Xiao Yu took it off his head and smiled helplessly.
He rubbed the little beast's little head and asked, "Don't go to the Chiyan Mountain Range, follow me in the future, you can eat as much barbecue as you want." ”
The little beast's long eyelashes curled up and rolled its eyes.
Its two little claws all stretched out and placed them in front of Xiao Yu's eyes.
"Ten strings?" Xiao Yu asked.
The little beast's little paws flipped and doubled.
"Fifty strings?"
The little paw flipped again.
“...... A hundred strings?"
The little paw flipped again.
“......”
Seeing that Xiao Yu stopped talking, the little beast stomped his little feet anxiously, and shouted in a childish voice: "Ten thousand!"
Xiao Yu laughed, swept away the haze, and took the little beast and Duan Yu down to the city.
Duan Yuxi quietly looked at Xiao Yu's side face, only to feel that after a big battle, the young man in front of him was less sharp and more calm, like a sword that had been washed away from the lead, and it was sheathed.
The Falling Dragon Pass has made a contribution to fighting the beast tide, and the royal family has sent news that they will vigorously reward the soldiers who participated in the war.
The First Sword Sect, the Heavenly Star Sect, and the Holy Power Sect have made meritorious contributions to protecting the country this time, and the lord of the Qianfeng Kingdom has also personally written letters of thanks for the three grandmasters.
Xiao Yu, Heavenly Wolf Zi and other disciples went deep into the Chiyan Mountain Range and made great achievements.
The lord of the kingdom has ordered them to go to the imperial city with the envoy Zhang Jing to receive the reward.
The matter of the five countries' secret collusion with demon beasts, Xiao Yu has already reported it to the sect and Zhang Jing.
The attitude of the royal family was surprisingly intriguing, Zhang Jing just told Xiao Yu not to make a noise first, and wait for the conclusion of the Mysterious Realm Conference before discussing.
In addition, he quietly told Xiao Yu in private that in addition to rewarding meritorious deeds and deeds in the national capital this time, there was also an important matter, which was to prepare for participating in the Savage Mystery Realm.
The grand gathering of 10,000 people in southern Xinjiang is about to open!
"When the time comes, the lord of the country asks what reward he wants, but don't say that he will be crowned an official and knighted. ”
Zhang Jing patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder and said:
"If you are tied up in the court by fame and fortune, where will you have the heart to march to a higher place! I admire you very much, and your achievements should not stop at the Qianfeng country. ”
Xiao Yu's performance in this beast tide battle really shocked the royal envoy.
Xiao Yu nodded and thanked him, and said goodbye to Tianluozi, Liang Bao and others.
Everyone experienced life and death together in a war, and the grievances between each other were not deep hatreds, so they simply laughed at them.
Several people agreed that the capital of the country would meet again.
The battle that lasted for several days came to an end, and Xiao Yu sat on the four-winged flying horse, feeling the stiff cold wind blowing in his face, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while.
Back in the One Sword Sect, the sect held a banquet to celebrate the safe return of these disciples who went to the battlefield and made great contributions.
The young sect master took the initiative to ask for help this time and penetrated into the enemy's army, which can be said to have made a decisive contribution, and even the lord of Qianfeng Country gave a special praise.
The disciples all over the mountain had heard of it, and they all gathered around Xiao Yu, asking about the details of the battle, their eyes full of eagerness.
Aoxiong, Mu Yingyu and other friends looked at Xiao Yu's hurried appearance, and they all smiled.
Now in the entire One Sword Sect, no one has any doubts about the identity of Xiao Yu's young sect master.
"Xiao Yu. ”
A cold voice sounded, and Cangyun passed over everyone and strode in front of Xiao Yu.
The voices of everyone talking were much lower, and everyone knew that Cang Yun had always had a lot of opinions about Xiao Yu, the title of the young sect master.
Only Mo Xuanyu was smiling quietly on the side, as if he had expected what was going to happen next.
Cangyun looked at Xiao Yu coldly, and when he saw Xiao Yu's eyes that were as calm as water, he snorted coldly and raised the wine glass on the table:
"I'll toast you!"
In the surprised eyes of the surrounding disciples, Cangyun raised his glass and drank it all.
"Without you, we would not have been able to escape from the Chiyan Mountains, and this war may not be over yet. Xiao Yu, I admit that you are really strong, and you can indeed take on the name of Young Sect Master. ”
His eyes were burning, and he still had that cold smile: "But I won't be willing to lose you, and when I come back from the national capital, I will close myself to death." Next time the trial of fire, let's compete again!"
"And me!" Mo Xuanyu next to him also stepped forward to raise his glass, and smiled sincerely, "Xiao Yu, don't think that we will be afraid of your young sect master's title, let's compete with him in the future!"
"And me!"
"And me!"
The voices came and went, Aoxiong, Mu Yingyu and other friends also came up, and the surrounding disciples also responded loudly, vying to drink with Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu laughed heartily, and those who came did not refuse.
Wine and singing, sleepless night.
The next day, it wasn't until noon that Xiao Yu woke up from his hangover.
Rubbing his drowsy head, he pushed open the door and walked out into the courtyard.
Strange, when I came back this time, why didn't I see the little fat man Wang Jianye?
It happened that Wu Shenghui came over to call Xiao Yu to eat, and Xiao Yu hurriedly grabbed him: "What about the fat man, why haven't you seen him for a day?"
"I forgot to tell you. Wu Shenghui patted his head, "The fat man is gone." ”
"Gone?"
Xiao Yu was taken aback, so decent, where will the little fat man go?
Wu Shenghui nodded, and there was a puzzled expression on his face: "Not long after you set off, he packed his bags and said that he was going out to practice...... Oh yes!"
He took out a piece of fiery red jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yu, "This is what he entrusted me to give to you before leaving, he asked me to tell you, the mountains are high and the waters are far away, goodbye in the south!"
Xiao Yu took the jade pendant from Wu Shenghui's hand, and only felt that it was warm to the touch and the workmanship was excellent.
He gently rubbed the jade pendant, only feeling that this farewell, I don't know how many years it will be after the next encounter.
recalled the laughter and scolding of the little fat man in the past, and a sense of loss arose in my heart.
It seems that on the eve of the arrival of the Savage Mystery Realm Conference in the empty alleys of 10,000 people, many things have quietly changed.
He squeezed his palm violently and held the jade pendant tightly in his hand.
Okay, then wait for me to improve my strength as soon as possible and go to southern Xinjiang to find you!
Little fat man, wait for me!
After recuperating in the sect for a few days, Dugu Ao called Xiao Yu on this day, and there were only two people in the chamber.
"The Pegasus of the national capital has already come, you can pack up in a while, and leave with a few senior brothers immediately. ”
Dugu Ao got straight to the point and gently shook the tea in his hand.
Xiao Yu nodded yes, he saw that Dugu Ao seemed to have something to explain, and his heart moved: "What else does the father-in-law command?"
Dugu Ao pondered for a while, and said slowly: "This time you go to the capital to canonize, naturally there will be many rewards from the lord of the country, so don't be impetuous." ”
He thought for a while, and then said, "The Mysterious Realm is about to open, and it is the time when the storm is surging. The power of the national capital is complicated, and there are palaces and nobles everywhere, so you must be strict in your words and deeds, and do not teach people to grasp the handle. ”
Xiao Yu was awe-inspiring in his heart, knowing that the royal family had been a concentration of power and trickery since ancient times, and if he was accidentally involved in it, it would be a catastrophe at every turn.
"Of course, you don't have to blindly tolerate it when you encounter arrogant and extravagant people, lest outsiders say that my One Sword Sect is nothing more than that, and it is all general. You must know that one of the major purposes of our One Sword Sect is to convince people with reason in everything. ”
Dugu Ao said the words "convince people with reason" in a particularly heavy tone, Xiao Yu firmly remembered it in his heart, knowing that this four-character purpose of the Sword Sect must have a deep meaning!
Dugu Ao looked at the tea in the cup, and finally admonished:
"Yu'er, this trip to the national capital is good and rigorous, but there is no need to be afraid. ”
"You only need to remember one sentence: with the heart of a tiger and a wolf, do what is benevolent and righteous!"
Xiao Yu pondered the meaning of Dugu Ao's words and did not say a word.
Dugu Ao waved his hand, signaling that he could go.
Xiao Yu bowed and saluted, leaving Dugu arrogant alone and sitting quietly in the conference hall.
After a long time, Dugu Ao let out a long sigh.
He took a sip of the porcelain cup, and the tea was already cold.
Xiao Yu came to the Sect Master Peak, still thinking about Dugu Ao's last sentence in his mind.
With the heart of a tiger and a wolf, do benevolent and righteous deeds.
Seeing that the father-in-law frowned lightly, he explained like this. Presumably, this trip to the canonization of the national capital will not be so easy. ”
Xiao Yu sighed secretly in his heart, and his eyes shone brightly.
Even if the national capital is Longtan Tiger's Den, he is not afraid.
If you are bound in the capital of Qianfeng Country, then the southern Xinjiang continent of Nuoda is still talking about galloping!
The attendants who came to lead the reception were startled by the divine light in Xiao Yu's eyes, and they thought that these sect people were really strange.
He buried his words in his heart, and there was no expression on his face.
These are all distinguished guests of the national capital, and it is not something he can neglect.
"Xiao Shaoxia, please!" said the attendant with a smile on his face and respectfully.
The five-headed and four-winged Pegasus rose into the sky and marched in the direction of the capital of Qianfeng Country.
