Chapter 295: The Unnamed Land
It is okay to return Jiangzhou, but there is one more requirement for this seat. ”
Although the Sea Dragon King was relieved, he did not blindly compromise, but took the opportunity to put forward his original purpose.
"This seat is to preach within the territory of the Wu Dynasty. ”
Missionary?
Zhao Ting was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry Your Excellency the Sea Emperor, I'm afraid this won't work." ”
The Sea Dragon King's face suddenly became a little cold, and his voice was two points lower: "Why?"
Zhao Ting glanced at him, his temperament changed, and he was wrapped in white divine power, with a strong and dignified meaning.
"Quite simply, Zhao is also a practitioner of the path of faith. ”
This made the Sea Dragon King a little surprised, he looked at Zhao Ting for a long time, and then suddenly said, "It turns out that he is a fellow Daoist." ”
"The way of faith, well, if you want to establish faith, you must first liquidate the old gods and destroy everything that the old gods have left behind. Therefore, in order to dominate the human race, the gods and demons will not let you go. ”
Zhao Ting nodded and said, "Even if I don't follow the path of faith, will they let me go?" So why be afraid?"
Seeing that he knew the consequences, the Sea Dragon King didn't say anything more, and instead said: "Since you and I have no objections, the Terran Sea Clan will rule by dividing the territory of the Sea from now on, and form an alliance, and the Sea Clan in Jiangzhou will also withdraw at that time, and only keep the Sea God Temple for missionary purposes." ”
A smile appeared on Zhao Ting's face and said, "Obey the words of His Excellency the Sea Emperor." I also ask His Excellency the Sea Emperor to send an envoy to the Youdu to sign a formal covenant between the two clans with our Emperor as soon as possible. ”
"Hmm. ”
The Sea Dragon King nodded, his expression calm and unrecognizable.
He glanced at the sea from afar, and a sentence suddenly came out of his mouth: "Since you practice the path of faith, then be careful of the abyss." ”
Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand the meaning of his words, he still said, "Well, I'll be careful." ”
The Sea Dragon King's gaze fell on Dian Bai on Maple Hill Island again, and after looking at it twice, he slowly crossed the blood-like maple forest on the island and walked towards the seaside.
When the dragon entered the sea, the sea was faintly trembling.
Long.
Only then did calm regain one.
Zhao Ting finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Facing a strong man like the Sea Dragon King whose strength completely crushed him, even though he knew that the Sea Dragon King would not kill him, there was still a strong sense of oppression in his heart that lingered.
When the Sea Dragon King was on the island.
The insects did not dare to chirp, and all the birds and beasts crawled on the ground, trembling, as if they had encountered unspeakable fear.
This is coercion.
Zhao Ting stared at the direction of the Sea Dragon King's departure for a long time before he shook his head and laughed at himself: "Jiang is still old and spicy." ”
......
An unnamed place.
The crimson blood moon hung high above the sky, and at a glance it was full of devastation, desolate, the land and trees were all bare, and there were a few words of dried and terrible corpses hanging upside down on the sword-like trunks, describing horror, it was impossible to distinguish what race, strange and gloomy.
Near the head of the village, a small river slowly flowed, the water was ink-stained black, and from time to time hideous monsters sprang out of it, and then pulled into the bottom by other worm-like tentacles.
No one knows what lies at the bottom of the river, and perhaps everyone who knows is dead.
Zhao Si was standing on the bridge, looking at the situation in the river intently, watching the ghosts that were even more terrifying because of the light of the blood moon pop up from time to time, grinning at him, and being dragged to the bottom of the river.
Find a little fun in boredom.
"Zhao Si, you fell into it carefully......"
Just as he was watching, at the entrance of the lonely village behind him, a middle-aged man with a backpack walked out and shouted at him.
Oh, maybe you can't call it a middle-aged man, you should call it a middle-aged weirdo.
The man's appearance was very close to that of a human, except for the large ears that were somewhat abnormal, almost as long as the entire face.
The skin is also different from the light skin color of the Terran man, but layer by layer of deep dark red, as if soaked in the blood, soaked for a long time, so that the blood stain penetrates into the skin, dyeing the skin into this bright color.
Every time I sweat, it feels like I'm bleeding, which is terrifying.
Zhao Si glanced back at the red-skinned middle-aged stranger, and responded, "Save it, Uncle Ming." ”
This middle-aged strange man called himself Li Yangming, and he was the person in charge of the village in front of him called the Red Demon Lord.
Although there are only a dozen families living in the village.
When Zhao Si was chased and killed by the Ghost Emperor and the ancestor of the Zhou family, he fled into the Spirit Gate, and when he came out of the Spirit Gate, he came to this strange world.
A world that turned his perception upside down.
The moon above his head was blood-red, and the people of the Red Demon Leader called him the Blood Moon. In this world, a blood moon replaces the role of the sun.
Every time the blood moon rises, an obscurant red light envelops the world, and a new day begins.
When the blood moon sets, the world is plunged into darkness, and all kinds of demons and monsters are rampant.
Zhao Si had seen with his own eyes that a stitching monster made of a piece of rotting corpses broke into the Red Demon Territory at night and dragged another red-skinned woman from the village away.
The man has not been heard from so far, and I don't know if he died or was dragged away to be the wife of the village.
In fact, these red-skinned weirdos also have their own names, called the Red Devils.
According to Li Yangming in front of him, their Red Demon Clan was born sinful, and they were destined to be inferior, so they could only live in the most bitter and cold places, endure sickness, hunger and cold, and atone for their sins in their previous lives.
Zhao Si told him: My life is up to me.
No one is born sinful, and their own destiny is in their own hands.
As a result, Li Yangming thought he was crazy, and his eyes changed slightly.
Until one day, Zhao Si used his killing force in front of him to kill a flying black tiger, the black tiger was bigger than the body of an elephant he had ever seen, but he had no brute strength and no magical ability.
After killing the monster, Li Yangming realized that Zhao Si was a capable person.
Since then, his attitude towards Zhao Si has changed dramatically.
Zhao Si inexplicably became the patron saint of the Red Demon Domain.
Everyone relied on him and was in awe of him, only Li Yangming, who took him in at the beginning, had a slightly lighter reverence in his tone when he spoke to him.
Zhao Si didn't like this feeling very much.
Most of the people in the Red Demon Territory are old peasants who face the loess and have their backs to the sky, and they don't even know what the name of this world is.
I only know that there are gods, demons, and even more terrifying things in the world.
For example, the river at the foot of Zhao Si.
It's not that Zhao Si hasn't tried to get out of here and see the true face of this world.
But not far away, he was blocked by a muddy yellow river, the river was densely packed with corpses, white human skulls floated up and down, and countless terrifying monsters passed through it, faintly revealing the shadow of the demon.
Li Yangming said that this is the Huangquan River, and the gods and demons cannot cross it lightly.
Zhao Si had no choice but to come back.
He was not reconciled, and went south in the opposite direction, and this time, he saw more small villages like the Red Demon Leader.
In these villages, green-skinned eccentrics have no bones in their bodies and can transform like mollusks.
There are also large black beetles that can talk, feeding on the feces of humans and animals.
These people and animals have one thing in common, they live in a muddle.
Get up early every day and be greedy for darkness, either work or eat, and go to bed early at night to guard against the invasion of demons.
An ascetic life.
They have no faith, no dreams, just to live.
It was a dead silence bordering on despair.
Zhao Si couldn't stand this kind of life, he strode south, and was finally stopped by a high mountain that almost reached the sky.
That mountain is too high.
From time to time, there was a terrible beast roar on the top of the mountain, which shocked Zhao Si's ears and made his soul frightened.
He had a gut feeling that there was a great terror in the mountains.
If you rush up the mountain, you will definitely be swallowed to the point that there is no scum left.
Therefore, he finally relented, and reluctantly returned to the Red Demon Domain.
"Childe, will the villain never see you again. ”
He cried out in his heart.
Li Yangming, the red-skinned weirdo with a basket on his back, walked over step by step, stood beside him and said with a smile: "You gods are just interesting, staring at the river all day long. ”
He glanced at the dark river and said, "What's so nice about this river?" ”
Zhao Si walked off the bridge and said lightly: "You don't understand." ”
Li Yangming smiled, with a little envy in his tone: "I don't understand, if I had your ability, I shouldn't worry about eating and drinking, right?"
The villagers of the Red Demon Territory are worried about their livelihood every day, what to eat for this meal and what to eat for the next meal?
Zhao Si was different from them, he was already a fourth-order "unknown", and there was a steady stream of Gu Bird's killing crystals in his body, providing him with the energy necessary for life.
He didn't have to eat or drink.
Isn't that what these villagers think of as gods?
In fact, Zhao Si also tried to look for "ominous" in this world, but the result was very regrettable.
Most of the demons and monsters in this world are monsters that are dominated by instinct, infected by all kinds of incredible powers, and have terrifying powers in the eyes of ordinary people.
For example, the stitching monster made of corpses, the earth dragon the size of a small mountain bag, the white giant wolf with a body length of a foot, the fangs in the mouth are like daggers, and the cold light is shining, which makes people frightened at a glance.
Although these things are considered monsters, they are not "ominous".
After Zhao Si killed them, he didn't find the Killing Crystal in their bodies.
And they don't look like they're sapient.
What the hell is this stuff?
Zhao Si was very confused.
asked Li Yangming, Li Yangming also didn't know anything, only said that these monsters were sent by the gods to punish them.
This made Zhao Si speechless.
"Uncle, are you going to pick vegetables?"
Seeing Li Yangming carrying a basket on his back and holding a homemade wooden shovel in his hand, Zhao Si couldn't help asking.
Li Yangming nodded and said with a smile: "I'll go to the other side of the river to pick it, and the wild vegetables in Baiguduo have been robbed by the people of the Green Devil Leader." ”
"To say that they are really not afraid of death, they dare to come out in the dark to grab wild vegetables, and they are not afraid of being swallowed by demons. ”
Zhao Si couldn't help but laugh a little, and said: "Those green buddies don't even have bones, they must stick to their teeth when they eat them, and the demons probably don't want to eat them." ”
After a pause, Zhao Si said again: "Uncle, don't go too far to pick vegetables, the brilliance of the blood moon has not been stable recently, and those monsters are restless." ”
Li Yangming waved at him, slowly walked across the bridge, and said, "I'm from my province, you should go back quickly, Huzi's father said that he was looking for you in an emergency." ”
"Okay. ”
The two said goodbye.
Zhao Si slowly walked towards the Red Demon Domain.
It is said to be a "collar", but in fact it is a small village of five or six acres of land, with more than a dozen families scattered together.
The houses were built very low, and they were all made of local materials, and a type of clay called ash soil was roasted on a fire and used to build the house.
In the center of the village stands a statue of a god carved out of black stone.
The expression is majestic, and there is a fierce aura between the eyebrows.
According to Li Yangming, this is the idol of the "Zhongshan Holy Spirit", which presides over order and yin and yang. At the beginning, I spent a lot of money to hire someone to carve this statue in order to protect the peace of the village.
Of course, that's the case, but Zhao Si has never seen this "Zhongshan Holy Spirit" manifest.
Since he became a member of the Red Demon Territory, he has encountered three ghost invasions at night alone, and the villagers of the Red Demon Territory have suffered a lot.
But this "Zhongshan Holy Spirit" is like a dead thing, not only can it not protect the villagers, but it does not even give a warning.
Three ghost invasions, all of which were blocked by Zhao Si in the end.
What is the use of asking you to be the "Holy Spirit of Zhongshan"?
Zhao Si thought so in his heart, but Li Yangming said that he couldn't be disrespectful to the statue of the "Zhongshan Holy Spirit".
He said that the gods are real.
And the good does not work bad.
The gods will not necessarily protect you, but if you are disrespectful to the gods, the gods will punish you.
Zhao Si heard this, and his eyelids were about to roll to the sky.
I'm submissive to the demons, and I'm going to strike hard at the villagers?
What kind of god is this? It's clearly a ruffian.
The villagers of the Red Demon Territory also wanted to stop worshipping him after realizing that the idol of the "Zhongshan Holy Spirit" was useless.
But it is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God.
They began to discover that as long as they did not worship and worship the "Zhongshan Holy Spirit" during the period of rest, the Red Demon Territory would be haunted by evil things, and ghosts and demons would attack frequently.
In desperation, he had no choice but to re-enshrine the "Zhongshan Holy Spirit".
When Zhao Si passed by the statue of the "Zhongshan Holy Spirit", he spat at him with disdain, and then strode into the village.
Although these red-skinned weirdos are ugly, they are very kind-hearted.
Since accepting Zhao Si, he spontaneously helped him choose a site in the village and build a house.
Although the house is very simple, the materials used and the furniture in it are already considered superior among the small Red Demon Territory.
The villagers are grateful to him.
It is enshrined as the "Holy Spirit of Zhongshan", but in their hearts, Zhao Si is their patron saint.
came to the house of the "tiger" mentioned by Li Mingyuan.
A ragged, red-skinned strange man was standing in the courtyard, like ants on a hot pot, in a hurry.
When he saw Zhao Si, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward quickly.
"Fourth brother, when Huzi went to the ground today, I didn't pay attention, so I called him bad wind, you... Hurry up and take a look. ”
The so-called evil winds are mostly possessed by some wandering spirits and wild ghosts, as long as they are dispelled, they can be restored after a little more rest.
Zhao Si patted the red-skinned stranger's shoulder and said, "Well, don't worry, I'll go." ”
