Chapter 136: Disguised in the Wilderness
Forgetting to say that time flies so fast, and it's Monday again. Brothers and sisters, some of them voted!
..................
Great Qi Chenzhou, deep in the Ziling Mountains.
Towering peaks are rare here, but the mountains are undulating, surrounded by green mountains and blue waves.
When the clouds and mist rise in the mountains in the early morning, looking from afar, the whole mountain range faintly has the tendency of coiling dragons and phoenixes, and the scenery is magnificent.
The "dragon head" position of the mountain range is two purple peaks of general height, like the twin horns of the dragon, shrouded in purple mist all year round.
Through the mist, it can be seen that there are many kinds of buildings on the two peaks, among which the attic is the majority, and there are flying bridges between many attics.
This is one of the three sects of Great Qi, where the mountain gate of the Miaoyin Sect is located.
At the summit of one of the peaks, a four-story purple palace stands out.
The entire palace is made of a purple boulder with golden spots, which shines in the sun.
At this time, somewhere in the stone room of the palace, a beautiful woman dressed in green palace clothes and with a graceful temperament was sitting cross-legged, her clothes were painted with dense blue runes, and her clothes fluttered, exuding bursts of water attribute fluctuations.
A fist-thick blue pillar of light burst out from the Heavenly Spirit Cover above her head, like a whale spitting water, and soon turned into a rain of blue light that sprinkled around her, turning into a piece of water.
I don't know how long later, the water finally trembled, and a blue lotus rose from the water, and the blooming lotus held her out of thin air, never falling
At this moment, a jade bracelet on the wrist of the palace beauty trembled slightly, emitting a faint purple halo, and countless tiny runes emerged in the halo, quickly forming a small magic circle.
Purple light flashed in the magic circle, and a palm-sized jade slip shot out.
The eyes of the palace beauty opened instantly, and two fingers clamped the jade slip and pasted it on her forehead.
In an instant, her face changed drastically, and all the blue light on her body dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly stood up and hurriedly left the stone chamber.
Soon, more than a dozen figures flew to the top of the peak from all directions, and hurriedly entered a council hall in the purple palace.
Half an hour later, the chamber was empty again.
The palace beauty was on the main seat, her eyebrows were frowned, a trace of exhaustion flashed on her face, and after rubbing her somewhat swollen head, she turned over and took out a white jade slip and pasted it on her forehead.
A moment later, she opened the communication circle again, and with a flick of her right hand, the white jade slip instantly disappeared into the void, and then she stood up with a heavy heart and walked towards the apse.
......
Daqi, Tianqing Mountain, Headquarters of the Seven Sects Alliance.
In a stone room, a middle-aged woman in a green dress was pasting a white jade slip on her forehead, and soon, she stood up with an ugly face and walked outside.
Almost at the same moment, several other stone chambers also opened, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces, and the man surnamed Xie from the Black Demon Gate was impressively listed.
After a stick of incense, the peak is in a majestic palace.
Seven figures sat on the left and right sides of the main hall, each exuding a deep and abyss-like aura of powerhouse.
These seven people are the people who are now the leaders of the Seven Great Sects who remain in the Alliance Headquarters, and they are ordered by the heads of their respective sects to handle all the alliances and related matters against the barbarians on behalf of the sects.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was a little dull and depressing, and everyone did not speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time, a total of eleven islands in our three kingdoms were invaded by the Sea Clan overnight, and the defenders and civilians were all killed and wounded, especially our Great Qi, which has never happened in nearly three hundred years. This time, the Sea Clan ignored the armistice agreement of that year and openly violated it, and it was menacing, so they had to take more precautions. The person in charge of the Xuanwu Sect was a thick-eyed man who seemed to be in his thirties, and he was the first to break the silence.
"Now we are at war with the barbarians, and if we add another sea tribe, we will be attacked on our backs. For the sake of today's plan, it is necessary to negotiate peace with the barbarians first. An old woman in a purple robe said with a sad face.
As soon as the words fell, two or three people nodded in agreement, while the rest of them showed a deep expression and did not express their position immediately.
"There are many large and small tribes of these barbarians, and if we openly propose peace, they may not be able to reach a consensus in the short term, and may even put forward non-dividing demands, which will not be easy to do. The Xuanwu Sect's thick-eyed man frowned.
"Hmph, the East China Sea is vast and boundless, and the power of the Sea Clan is definitely not something that our human race or barbarian race can compete with alone. Once any of our three kingdoms is destroyed, I am afraid that the barbarians will directly face the threat of the Sea Clan, and we just need to let these barbarians know all kinds of benefits and believe that they will not be so stupid, and finally let the Sea Clan do things for the benefit of the fishermen. The green-clothed woman of the Miaoyin Sect said slowly.
"The barbarians are brutal and savage, and their temperament is unpredictable, and they cannot be inferred by common sense. I think we should make two preparations, one is to strengthen the coastal defense of the East China Sea, completely prohibit going to sea, and at the same time send a secret mission to the barbarian high priest to negotiate a strike from the war. The old man in Tsing Yi of the Heavenly Sword Sect shook his head and said.
"Yes, although the barbarian high priest has never left the forbidden land of the barbarians all the year round, he has always been known for his wisdom, and he will never do anything to make others profitable. And as the spiritual leader of the barbarians, he has the highest reputation among the barbarians, and as long as he is willing to stop the war, the rest of the tribes must obey. The man surnamed Xie of the Black Demon Gate nodded.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present nodded in agreement.
"In that case, do you have any recommendations for the candidates for the chief envoy of the peace talks?" the purple-robed old woman of the Yin Fu Palace said again.
"The Great Qi Kingdom Fire Dance Princess is now practicing in my Tianyin Sect, and she is a suitable candidate. A middle-aged woman dressed in white and wearing a golden hairpin suggested with a flutter of eyes.
The dual identity of the Fire Dance Princess, who can not only represent the sect, but also represent the largest Great Qi court in the Three Kingdoms, is indeed a suitable candidate, and the others heard this, and after a short period of thought, they all nodded in agreement.
Now that the matter and candidates for peace have been decided, in the following time, everyone discussed the matter of shrinking the frontline battle and transferring the defense to the coast of the East China Sea.
Not long after the hall was calm, the sound of fierce arguments was heard again.
Three days later, the peace negotiation team with the Fire Dance Princess as the main envoy immediately quietly set off from the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom.
......
In the narrow sky, the blazing white sun scorched the endless wasteland, and the rust-colored, dry and cracked earth was everywhere.
Clumps of lilac dwarf plants are sparsely laid out on this barren land, and occasionally one or two low shrubs stand stubbornly.
Occasionally, some orange-yellow rocks of various sizes will also be seen.
These rocks have been weathered for many years, and a gust of wind blows, and the rock crumble disappears, turning into debris and dancing in the wind, as if telling the desolation here.
Such a desolate scenery is a true portrayal of the barbarian wasteland that can be seen everywhere, and sometimes it even stretches for thousands of miles without any change.
At this moment, a barbarian dressed in animal skins and with braided hair was slowly walking from a distance to a rock shadow five or six feet high.
The man was dark-skinned and strong, but he was thin and short among the barbarians.
He carried a silver scabbard and a large bow bag diagonally behind him, and in his right hand he held a long black knife wrapped in rags, and a bulging quiver hanging from his waist.
This thin barbarian was Shi Mu in disguise, and he had stepped into the barbarian wasteland for half a month at this time.
Along the way, he not only had to avoid the barbarian beast cavalry that appeared from time to time as much as possible, but also had to fight with some fierce beasts, plus the road and environment were unfamiliar, and the walk was extremely difficult.
Thankfully, he was now finally starting to enter the depths of the Barbarian Wasteland.
Shi Mu vigilantly observed the surroundings, and there was still a desolation in his eyes, and there was no life.
Only then did he let go of the meteorite black knife in his hand, took out the water bladder and took two sips, and then sat cross-legged in the shadow of the rock, concentrating, and began to cultivate the Heavenly Phenomena Technique.
The barbarian wasteland is extremely short of water, and the consumption of water on the road under such a scorching sun is also very large, and Shi Mu's body is not much water, so he decided to change to day and night from today onwards.
This is also a last resort, you know, the night of the barbarian wasteland is very dangerous, and it is often the time when the beasts and poisonous insects are most active.
But what bothered Shi Mu was that until now, he couldn't find a water source in the wasteland as he wanted, and the only law he found was that where there was a jungle, there must be a water source.
When he first entered the wasteland, because of his lack of preparation, Shi Mu encountered the embarrassing situation of water cut off several times, thanks to the occasional encounter with some enthusiastic ordinary barbarians on the road, after they learned of Shi Mu's predicament, they generously sent their own water bladders and directed several water sources near Shi Mu, so that he would not fall into greater danger.
And the first time he was on the road at night, he was accidentally bitten by a very small poisonous ant, and his right leg immediately became swollen.
All of this surprised Shi Mu to find that ordinary barbarians, like the people of the human race, also had many kind and loyal people, which made him much less hostile to the barbarians.
Just as the sun was setting, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Shi Mu's eyes, and a trace of danger woke him up.
Like a tanuki, Shi Mu flicked up from the ground silently, and the black knife of meteoric iron had naturally fallen into his hands.
Only then did he realize that hundreds of wolf-like beasts with lilac fur and the size of calves had surrounded him, their hungry eyes flashing with cruel and bloodthirsty light.
Shi Mu recognized at a glance that these murderous guys were the notorious wind wolves in the barbarian wasteland.
Their fur is similar in color to most plants in the wasteland, and they walk silently, but once they lock on to their prey, they are swift and very adept at sneaking up.
Although hidden behind the wolves, a large Wind Wolf King still caught Shi Mu's attention.
He raised his eyebrows, and immediately rushed forward a few steps, his figure jumped up, and the meteorite knife in his hand turned into a black knife shadow, and slashed angrily at the wolf.
The sound of breaking the air sounded!
A series of six or seven black shadows rushed towards Shi Mu from all directions like lightning, and the snow-white minions arrived in an instant, and the speed was amazing.
Shi Mu's arm shook, and more than a dozen sword shadows parted on all sides.
"Puff" A muffled sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh kept ringing!
For a while, the smell of blood rose, and the seven Wind Wolves were cut in two by Shi Mu in the howl.
Shi Mu was forced to stop because of this, and before he could move, more than a dozen black shadows pounced up, and at the same time, the wolf figure quickly disappeared into the wolf pack.
