Chapter 1: Tang Xiaoshu
The Southern Imperial Domain is vast and intricately powerful.
Since the disappearance of the Southern Emperor, the influence of the Southern Emperor Domain in the Five Domains has been declining, and gradually, it has become the weaker side of the Five Domains.
Hundreds of years have passed, and there is no emperor in the Southern Imperial Domain, and no one can make the heroes submit. But if you want to talk about the most influential force in the Southern Imperial Domain today, it is undoubtedly the Tang Dynasty located in the middle of the Southern Imperial Domain.
Whether it is the number of strong people or the top combat power, the Tang Dynasty is one of the best in the Southern Imperial Domain, even compared with the top forces of other large domains, it is not far behind. What's more, now that the princess of the Tang Dynasty has entered the Taixu Holy Land, the connection between the two top forces is getting closer and closer. Therefore, although there were no imperial powerhouses, the influence of the Tang Dynasty also exceeded that of other top forces.
In the southern region of the Tang Dynasty, there is a continuous mountain range, in which the spirit beasts are vertical and horizontal, also known as the spirit beast mountain range. The southern frontier of the Tang Dynasty is on the edge of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.
Nanjiang City was an important border city of the Tang Dynasty, but because it was almost impossible for this position to face the disturbance of other forces, the main significance of Nanjiang City was to prevent the rebellion of spirit beasts.
Especially in the early spring, when everything recovers, the spirit beasts seem to become active, and they begin to go out constantly, and there are spirit beasts that come out to wreak havoc.
At the gate of Nanjiang City, a group of soldiers returned full of scars, and the first one spat on Xingzi, and scolded and said: "Damn, what's going on lately, these spirit beasts are rushing out one by one like estrus, and the defense line is about to be lost!"
They are the third group of soldiers to change their guards, and the first two waves of soldiers who went to fight against the spirit beasts were also wounded.
"Brother Kou, what kind of spirit beast can make you suffer a big loss?" the guard soldier asked curiously.
"What other spirit beasts? Two-winged clouded leopard! Mother, these beasts are not only extremely fast, their attack power is extremely high, and their defensive power is also very amazing! Shengsheng has broken Lao Tzu's big knife, not to mention, I have to go back and heal well. After Kou finished speaking, he shuffled into the city.
The two guards glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes!
This Brother Kou's strength is a terrifying powerhouse in the Divine Power Realm, but he was injured like this by the third-order spirit beast Two-Winged Clouded Leopard, which shows the terrifying nature of the Two-Winged Clouded Leopard!
Indeed, the two-winged clouded leopard is not an ordinary third-order spirit beast, it has the bloodline of the ancient barbarian beast Qiqi in its body, with wings on its back, and cloud-like lines on its body, hence its name. Moreover, this spirit beast is different from other spirit beasts, they like to gather in groups, and once they appear, it is very likely that several will appear together!
Brother Kou entered the city and went straight to the city lord's mansion, where he met the prince who was guarding the town: the king of the south.
Nanwang was not tall and slightly chubby, but his eyes were very bright, and he looked solemnly at the sky in the distance in his armor.
Brother Kou bowed his hand to Nanwang and said, "Boss, something is wrong, how could the spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range appear so concentrated? Not only the two-winged clouded leopard, but even the Cold-winged Bird and the Xuanwu Elephant have appeared, these are all third-order spirit beasts! In the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, I am afraid that something has changed." ”
King Nan looked at him, saw that he was covered with scars, and said, "I know, you go to rest and heal first." ”
After Brother Kou retreated, Nanwang's face was not good-looking. After a while, another soldier came to report: "Boss, the spies in front have come to report that a demonic mountain has appeared in the spirit beast mountain range, because of its appearance, the spirit beast in the mountain has moved!"
"What?!"
King Nan's face was shocked, the Demon Mountain?!Could it be that the people in the Demon Dao can't cultivate in the mountain range?
"Take me there!"
"Yes!"
When King Nan entered the Spirit Beast Mountain Range with his accompanying guards, he really found a demonic mountain full of demonic energy. The terrifying demonic aura obscured the sky and the sun, making the world very gloomy.
"When did someone from the Demon Dao break in from my Tang Dynasty?" Nanwang's face became very ugly, and the existence of the Demon Mountain was very touching and depressing, as if there was a terrifying demon in it, and it would rush out at any time.
And just as he was about to enter the Magic Mountain, the demonic energy in the mountain suddenly reversed and disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared. This change made King Nan frown even more.
He went deep into the mountains, searching every corner with his divine thoughts, but he never found anything unusual. It's like those demonic energy are just illusions.
"No, it's not an illusion!" said the Southern King. There was no doubt that the demonic aura was emitted by something terrible, but the existence of this thing may have been beyond his comprehension, and he had no way of knowing the reason at all.
"Boss, do you want to report to the capital?"
The accompanying guard asked. King Nan frowned and said, "Observe for a while." ”
Then, they rushed to the border camp and saw many third-order spirit beasts, King Nan snorted coldly, and the terrifying coercion ran forward, which immediately made those third-order spirit beasts tremble, and they didn't dare to cross the thunder pool for half a step.
The soldiers who fought with them were surprised when they saw this.
"It's the boss!"
"The boss is here, now look at how arrogant these beasts are!"
"Kill! Kill these beasts!"
The arrival of the Southern King caused them to rush out one by one like chicken blood, and their combat strength soared, killing many spirit beasts in an instant, and the rest of the spirit beasts fled to the depths of the mountain range. The soldiers tried to pursue, but were stopped by the King of the South.
"Stop chasing, keep an eye on that mountain range, and notify me immediately if anything is unusual!" he pointed to the mountain where the demonic aura had come out earlier.
"Yes, Boss!"
For the next two months, Nanwang had been paying close attention to the changes here, and he found that every moonlit night, the demonic qi would emerge, enveloping the heavens and the earth, and once it was noon the next day, the monstrous demonic qi would roll back again, as if nothing had happened.
Except for the devouring of demonic qi and the initial spirit beast riot accident, there was no other danger to speak of. Nanwang had also come into close contact with the mountain when the demonic qi was swallowing, but nothing else was found except for a depressing aura.
He finally deduced that there was probably a brute beast sleeping in the mountains, but as long as it was not spared its sleep, it should not pose a threat to Nanjiang City. However, just in case, he still reported the situation to the capital.
On the other side, about a few dozen miles west of Nanjiang City, there is a small village. The small village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are more than 20 families, and the name of the village is to make a living from farming and hunting, except for buying some farming tools and fabrics.
At this time, at the entrance of the village, a group of teenagers were surrounding a young man and constantly insulting him.
"Tang Xiaoshu, you wild bastard, you don't have Abba and Auntie, you are like a pig, you are lazy and eat a lot, shameful!"
"Hahaha, monkey, your description is very good, this wild seed has been eating and drinking since he came to our village, rubbing the milk of Ah Hua next door when he was a child, and rubbing the food of the village chief's house when he grows up, and is not treated well by the villagers. I really don't know why the village chief's grandfather still cares so much about him!"
"Tang Xiaoshu, come and wipe my feet!"
......
It's a group of teenagers, but it's hard to listen. The young man who was surrounded by them looked submissive, and had no intention of resisting at all.
His name is Tang Xiaoshu, he has no parents since he was a child, and he was adopted by the village chief. The "Ah Hua" in the mouths of these children is actually an old goat, which is called Ah Hua by the village because of a black mark like a flower on its body. When Tang Xiaoshu was a child, there were no pregnant women in the village, so he relied on the old goat's milk to survive. Tang Xiaoshu has a strong dependence on goat's milk, and when he was five or six years old, he still walked around "Ah Hua" all day long, wanting to drink goat's milk. It became a joke in the village.
Now even these teenagers know about his "glorious deeds", and when they get bored, they take him for fun. But Tang Xiaoshu has a weak personality and lets them bully. Therefore, although he seems to be the elder brother of these teenagers, in fact, he is the target of their bullying.
Just like now, a young man stretched out his feet full of mud in front of Tang Xiaoshu and asked him to wipe the mud clean, but Tang Xiaoshu did not refuse, he really wiped the young man's feet little by little with the corner of his clothes, and grinned at the young man.
"What a fool!"
The young man's heart was cold, Tang Xiaoshu was unkempt, his face was full of black mud marks, and there was a smell of sheep urine on his body, which was disgusting.
"Uhhh
At this moment, there was a sheep cry, Tang Xiaoshu was stunned, and immediately turned his head to look at the source of the sound. In a grass hut, an old goat was leashed, and it let out a soft cry as it watched.
"Ah Hua ......"
Tang Xiaoshu smiled and scratched his head, he felt that Ah Hua was smiling at him, so he also smiled back.
Seeing this, these teenagers intuitively felt their scalps tingle, and some people shouted: "Tang Xiaoshu, Ah Hua is going to die! It has lived for more than 20 years, and it should have died a long time ago!"
Who knows, Tang Xiaoshu roared angrily as if he had been touched against the scales: "Ah Hua will not die! Ah Hua will not die!"
This fierce and vicious appearance frightened these teenagers. One of the taller teenagers walked out angrily and pushed Tang Xiaoshu: "I said it was going to die! I told Abba today, kill that old sheep, see if you are still fierce!"
Tang Xiaoshu rose up in a rage, and threw the young man down at once, his fists fell like raindrops, and he scolded while beating: "He is not called Lao Yang, his name is Ah Hua! If you dare to do something to Ah Hua, I will kill you!"
"Ahh
The boy screamed in pain, and the rest of the teenagers panicked and shouted in fright.
"Help! Tang Xiaoshu hit someone!"
"Uncle Fat, Tang Xiaoshu is beating Chubby!"
......
Not long after, a middle-aged man rushed over and saw Tang Xiaoshu pressing a teenager to the ground and beating him, the middle-aged man was furious and kicked Tang Xiaoshu away: "Tang Xiaoshu! Are you crazy?!Why did you beat my fat tiger?!"
Tang Xiaoshu was kicked vigorously, and the corners of his mouth bleed, but he stared at the beaten boy angrily: "He wants to kill Ah Hua!"
The middle-aged man scolded: "An old sheep, kill it, kill it, can you commit such a heavy attack?"
Tang Xiaoshu's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he said angrily: "He is not an old sheep, his name is Ah Hua!
This voice seemed to have exhausted its strength.
The middle-aged man frowned, thinking of Tang Xiaoshu's miserable appearance when he was a child, sighed, and pulled the fat tiger over: "I told you, don't mess with this madman, you don't believe it, you were beaten, you deserve it! Go, follow me home!"
The fat tiger glared at Tang Xiaoshu hatefully, and left with the middle-aged man. Seeing this, the rest of the teenagers also dispersed in a hurry. Tang Xiaoshu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and walked towards the goat. Stroking the goat's fur, he whispered: "Ah Hua, they all say that you won't live this year, but I know that you will definitely live for a long time, and I don't want you to die." ”
The old goat seemed to understand his words, licked his palm, and bleated.
Tang Xiaoshu also seemed to be tired, and he didn't care that this was a sheepfold, so he just lay down next to the old goat and fell asleep deeply.
