Chapter 6 The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying
Donglu is actually not a commonly circulated word, at least in the cognition of ordinary people, they absolutely do not know the term Donglu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Eastern Continent is the eastern side of an entire land mass, separated only by a long mountain range. The east of the mountain is the eastern continent, and the west of the mountain is the main continent.
This mountain range is the Hanging Mountain, which is said to have fallen from the sky thousands of years ago, and was originally ten feet high from the ground. Hence the name Hanging Mountain.
In the middle of the Hanging Mountain, there is a hanging roof, which is said to be the place where the immortals lived, but no one has ever seen it. But a big mountain hangs in the air, and only the power of immortals can explain it.
Since the appearance of this hanging mountain, there have been powerful people who have gone up the mountain to find out. It's just that no matter how many people go, they never go back, but there are still people who flock to it.
Five hundred years ago, the Hanging Mountain suddenly fell.
At that time, lightning and thunder thundered on the hanging mountain, and the rumbling sound resounded in the sky.
Some people are rumored to have broken out a shocking battle on the Hanging Mountain, and the Hanging Mountain was knocked down.
Some people also say that it was the immortals who came to the world to make the hanging mountain fall and communicate with the human world.
The second argument is more acceptable.
Because after the fall of the Hanging Mountain, some people came out of the Hanging Mountain, and there was no shortage of powerful qi practitioners and knights who had entered the Hanging Mountain.
They claimed to be disciples of the immortals, and they were ordered to lead the destined people up the mountain, and from then on, the Hanging Mountain was truly displayed in front of the world.
It has become a holy place for martial arts cultivators in the world.
"Zheng'er, my father has never told you these secrets. It's because you were too arrogant before, thinking that your three-grade strength was amazing. Now compared to that Chu Chaosheng, you have become much more restrained, which also shows that you have grown. In the palace of King Jingkang, Liu Yu said with his hand behind his back to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng lowered his head, and there was no expression on his expressionless face. No one knows what he's thinking.
"Zheng'er, do you know what our Eastern Continent is in the eyes of the people of the main continent?" Liu Yu, King of Jingkang, opened his mouth and said slowly.
Liu Zheng still didn't raise his head, but replied in a low voice: "The child doesn't know, please ask my father to make it clear." ”
Liu Yu turned around and looked directly at Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng seemed to be aware, and finally raised his head and met Liu Yu's gaze.
"In the eyes of the people of the main continent, our Donglu is a joke, as far as the prosperity of martial arts alone is concerned, there are very few people in our Donglu realm above the first grade, and most of them are hidden. In the main continent, the Yipin realm only has the capital to walk the rivers and lakes. Liu Yu paused, and then continued:
"We are facing each other in the Nine Kingdoms of the Eastern Continent, and there are only two countries in the main continent, and any one of these two countries is enough to sweep our Nine Kingdoms of the Eastern Continent. It's really incomparable. ”
When Liu Yu said this, there was unstoppable old age and helplessness on his face.
Liu Zheng clenched his fists tightly, he never knew that the place where he lived seemed so weak in another place.
"Father, then why don't our nine kingdoms unite to fight against the main continent?" Liu Zheng said with some grievances.
Liu Yu smiled bitterly, "Zheng'er, let me ask you, when the nine countries are united, who will be the leader?" Your heart is completely messed up, and if it were your normal life, you wouldn't not understand such a simple truth. ”
This sentence just poked Liu Zheng's sore spot. There was a flash of gloom and madness in his eyes.
Liu Zheng roared unwillingly, "Father, the child has retreated." ”
Liu Yu waved his hand and nodded in agreement.
Liu Yu kept looking at the Eight Immortals crossing the sea chart on the wall, and suddenly said in a voice that only he could hear: "Is there anyone from there?" I hope you are the immortal who crossed the sea, and don't let this king down. ”
The lobby is extremely simple, and the only one that adds some royal temperament is the screen on the right.
A middle-aged scribe came out from behind the screen, and it was the staff member Fang Yan.
Liu Yu was not surprised, as if he had known that Fang Yan was there, he didn't turn around, and said straight to the point: "Sir, this king wants to send Zheng'er to the Hanging Mountain." ”
Suddenly a stone stirred up a thousand waves, Fang Yan's face that had been smiling and not surprised finally appeared a second expression, surprised.
"Lord Wang, you don't know how dangerous our road to the Hanging Mountain is in the Eastern Continent." Fang Yan looked worried.
In fact, it's no wonder that Fang Yan behaved like this.
There is a forest between the Hanging Mountain and the Eastern Continent, and for thousands of years, very few people have been able to reach the Hanging Mountain through this forest unharmed.
What's more, the hanging mountains are also full of dangers.
It's hard to get to the top of the sky.
And the people of the main continent only need to face the danger of the hanging mountain, and over time, how can the eastern continent catch up with the main continent?
"Sir, you can also see that Zheng'er was unwilling to be defeated by that man, and his long-standing pride was broken. He had already begun to doubt himself, and if he wasn't given a hope, he would just be scrapped. Liu Yu said in his deep voice.
"That's the only way, even if we fail, we can still keep His Royal Highness. It seems that the dark power of the palace is finally about to be used. There was helplessness and faint excitement in Fang Yan's tone.

Taiping City, vernal equinox.
The time when the eastern sky is white.
On the top of the splendid hall, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were separated on both sides, and most of them were three-grade purple robes.
Only some old people who are officials and worshippers have official robes embroidered with pythons, and most of the squires and priests of various ministries wearing scarlet robes and official uniforms are in the back.
At the highest place, there is a yellow-robed person sitting on the dragon chair above the Danqi, and two huge incense burners are full of immortal energy, sitting in the north and looking south. His eyes were like torches, and he was not angry.
Silence.
"In the battle of the Southeast Battlefield, my Nanzhao defeated Dongwu, but in several other battlefields, it was a big defeat." In the middle of the night, the man on the dragon chair spoke.
"Your Majesty, on the southeast battlefield, thanks to the prince of King Jingkang, he broke through the Qingliao Mountain and rode a thousand people lightly. The minister thinks that it should be commended. "In the column of civil officials, Zuo Cheng spoke.
The military department is still in the list, but it refutes Zuo Cheng. "It is right for the Jingkang Royal Mansion to contribute to my Nanzhao, and we should not talk about rewards and punishments now. Your Majesty is reproaching us for the great defeat. ”
"In the opinion of the ministers, the reason for the defeat of our army is the mistakes of the leading generals." The military department Shangshu said to the Son of Heaven again.
"Mistakes?"
"The minister thinks that the general's wrong decision and ......"
"Fart."
Before the words of the military department Shangshu fell, a lazy voice sounded in the main hall.
"Situ Deng, you are not young, but the more you live, the more you go back. You are clearly passing the buck to yourself. What kind of general decision-making mistakes, I think you were very high-spirited when you first chose the generals. ”
The military department Shangshu didn't say a word, and turned his head to look in the direction of the temple gate.
