Chapter 22: Natural Disasters
There is no seasonal distinction in Dipenglai.
In other words, the seasons in Penglai are not a concept of time, but a difference in space.
The green dragon collar in the East is warm as spring all year round; The white tiger collar in the West is cool like autumn all year round; The Suzaku collar in the south is as hot as summer all year round; The Xuanwu collar in the north is cold like winter all year round.
On the road from the Blue Dragon Leader to the Vermilion Bird Domain, it seems that Winter's footsteps have never set foot on this land of gods at all. Everywhere you can see countless new green shoots emerging from the soft soil, that vigorous and thriving appearance, just like a lively elf, and the treetops above the head sprinkled with warm light, condensed into crystals of light in the air, gently touching the jewel-like shining air, the fourth generation of girls can't help but smile.
"It's a great day to bask in the sun, don't you think...... Ah, it seems that there are a lot of new faces, which have only grown recently? â
Shang Yi happily greeted the young shoots around her, and as a member of the Shenmu clan, she could hear the hearts of plants and be admired by them.
"Hey, I'm going to say!" A rough foot stomped heavily on the ground, and two or three clusters of unfortunate young shoots were trampled into the dirt like this, but the owner of the foot was not from the Shenmu clan, so naturally he couldn't hear the scream that made the girl frown, or even if he could hear it, he would just ignore the past, right? Because both the tone and the action reveal the extremely depressed mood of the owner of the foot.
"How long is it going to be like this?"
Yihao's anger is justified. The day before yesterday, Shang Yi promised to take him to the Immortal Palace, where the Phoenix clan lived, and he was grateful for it for a while, although he immediately wanted to refine the wind wings and fly directly to the Immortal Palace. But Shang Yi refused to cooperate with his idea, so the next two days were spent walking slowly in the forest, looking at the almost identical scenery in front of him, Yihao couldn't even tell whether the two days were going in circles or heading towards his destination.
What's even more infuriating is that the Shenmu clan seems to only need water to survive. And he had to find something to fill his stomach. Shang Yi forbade Yihao to hunt in the forest, so in the past two days, he only picked some wild fruits casually to satisfy his hunger, and the birds had already faded out of his mouth, but he didn't know when he would be able to get out of this annoying forest...... In this case. Asking Yihao to have any poetic feelings for the beautiful scenery in front of him is too difficult.
"Penglai is very vast, according to this kind of land...... Well, I will be able to walk for another week to reach the Suzaku collar. â
Shang Yi's words made Yihao jump immediately.
"A week! No kidding! A week is enough for me to walk through Penglai, I knew it was like this......"
"Of course I'm kidding."
Shang Yi's faint voice made Yihao's leakage suddenly wither, and he looked at the girl of the Shenmu clan with eyes that were above the depression. Out of the grinding teeth sound.
ââŚâŚ Is it fun to tease me? â
"Well, that's interesting."
Shang Yi nodded guiltlessly in acknowledgment while reaching out to a certain side of the forest.
"At sunset today, you can see the Morning Mist Valley, which is the border between the Green Dragon Collar and the Vermilion Bird Collar, and then through the Morning Mist Valley, there is the Burning Mountain, and the Immortal Palace of the Phoenix Clan is on the top of the Burning Mountain."
ââŚâŚ It's true? â
"If you don't believe me, there's another way, but that one will take a week. It's up to you which way you go. â
"Bye...... Please, just go the nearest way......"
Yihao hung his head and said dejectedly, the so-called "people have to bow their heads under the eaves". The demon who was shocked in the past was also tossed along the way, and he lost his temper, although he regretted it very much, and decided to ask this Shenmu girl to be a guide, but now that he has been on the thief ship, he can only continue to ride. So for the next half day, Yihao followed Shang Yi in the completely disoriented forest, and waited until it was close to dusk. Finally saw the long-awaited scenery.
"That's where it is...... Morning Mist Valley? Yihao's voice trembled a little.
At the end of the forest is a cliff that is 100 meters high, and not far from the bottom of the cliff is a seemingly peaceful valley, although it is dusk at the moment, but the mouth of the valley is still filled with a thin mist, I believe that it is the dividing line between the green dragon collar and the vermilion bird collar that Shang Yi said.
"That's right, just walk through there...... Yes! â
A dazzling brilliance suddenly exploded in the distant sky, Shang Yi was shocked at the moment of witnessing this brilliance, and retreated sharply in the next second, Yi Hao was still wondering about her sudden movements, but only two or three seconds later, a dark red arc of light slashed through the sky, slashing at the bottom of the cliff, and the divine light that exploded seemed to shatter the surrounding rock foundation, and a deep depression with a diameter of more than eighty meters appeared below the cliff, and the remaining part above also collapsed immediately, and Yihao, who had no time to react, was suddenly swept in.
The grand landslide lasted for more than ten minutes, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the entire cliff retreated inwards by at least 50 meters, and the earth and rocks of the collapse were piled up into raised hills below, and the entire terrain was changed. Shang Yi stepped on the slope made of rocks and walked to the bottom of the cliff with light steps, and although she had experienced such an accident, she did not even have any injuries on her body, and she did not know how to do it.
"Well, is it dead?" Shang Yi stood at the bottom of the slope and didn't see Yihao's shadow left and right, and then shrugged his shoulders and raised the staff as if he was quite regretful.
"No way, although we have known each other for a short time, but in the end, let me spend it for you......"
"Don't just curse people to death!"
Suddenly, an angry roar rang out, followed by a corner of the slope covered in earth and rock, and scarlet flames emerged from the cracks in the earth and stones, and then converged into a blazing flame
The flames burned the earth and stones within ten meters of the surroundings into ashes, and Yihao rose up here, and the flames rose behind him into the shape of a fire phoenix, and the terrifying heat of the fire phoenix made the nearby trees scream like they were scorched.
At that moment, Shang Yi even thought that he would burn with it.
But thankfully, when Yihao stood up, the terrifying earth fire phoenix disappeared inexplicably. All that remains in place is the ground that has been melted by the high temperature, and there is a hairspring in the air.
"Bah, bah, bah...... Oh yes! What the hell is that? â
Yihao spat out the dust in his mouth, and asked Shang Yi indignantly while patting the soil and stones on his body. The latter, however, froze in place, completely deaf to his words.
"Hey, are you alright? Did you just get caught up in it and get hurt? I'll take a look at ......"
"Don't touch me!"
Yihao's outstretched hand was pushed away by the girl with a very violent movement, and Shang Yi's face showed a look that was almost frightened. This unexpected reaction made Yihao stunned and froze in place, and time flowed in an embarrassing atmosphere for five seconds.
"Whew......" Yihao exhaled a long breath. Since you still have this kind of strength, you should be fine. â
"Hmm...... Well, I was just slightly scared......" seemed to feel that the tone was too weak, and Shang Yi added again. "Because I didn't expect you to know how to drill holes better than voles."
"Hahaha...... By the way, can you sue me just now? The power of that slash ......"
Yihao laughed dryly. Diverting this obviously unfavorable topic, Shang Yi, who was asked, showed an intriguing expression.
"That...... It's an act of God. â
"Huh?"
"It's a natural disaster."
"So, ah, natural disaster...... What is it? â
"The so-called natural disasters are disasters that fall from the sky."
"No, of course I know what I'm trying to ask about...... That scourge? â
Although Yihao wondered if the Shenmu girl in front of him was deliberately distorting the topic, then Shang Yi took a few deep breaths as if he was mentally prepared. It seemed that it would be a challenge for her to say the name of the forbidden place.
"It's Chiyou."
"Chi ......" Yihao's feet suddenly went soft for no reason, and he almost fell to the ground, followed but raised his head. Looking at Shang Yi with an incredulous gaze. "Are you the Chiyou who you say?"
"Well, in ancient times, it was the fierce god of the Jiuli clan who was sealed in the Qiankun Ding by the God Emperor."
"How could Chi You be in Penglai...... Ah, it doesn't matter, she destroys it so casually. Doesn't anyone care? â
"Yes, that Shengang just now was missed by the White Tiger Xingjun and the Jiuli Fierce God during the battle, and such a scene will be staged in Penglai every once in a while......"
Shang Yi explained the whole story to Yihao in a helpless tone. Among the four gods guarding Penglai, the white tiger is the most junior one, but it has the closest power to the god, and the fierce god Chiyou was originally deprived of his godhead, but after two years of wandering in the nether, he seems to have gradually regained his original divine power. Originally, the white tiger was an uneasy and aggressive personality, and then when he met the unruly fierce god, it was like the danger of throwing a torch into the oil drum, every time Chi You came back, the two would always have a good time, and for the residents of Penglai who were innocently affected, it was like a catastrophe.
And when the fierce god came back not long ago, he didn't know where to get a strange axe, which further escalated this disaster.
No one knows where the dark axe came from, but the axe exudes a ghostly aura that is comparable to that of the fierce gods of the ages, relying on the help of the ghost axe, Chi You suddenly caught up with the gap with the white tiger, but because of this, the battle between the two of them has been fully upgraded, and what is left after every battle is the end of a landslide and a crack. The most exaggerated time, the battle between the two in the Vermilion Bird Collar almost broke the leylines of Penglai, and almost led to the loss of Penglai's aura.
As a result, the other three gods of the four directions could no longer be silent, and joined forces to tie up these two dangerous elements and send them to the Imperial Dragon Palace, and the radical Qinglong even proposed to stuff the two into the Qiankun Ding, but in the end, Suzaku came forward to consider it, and the imperial dragon forgave the two, confiscated Chiyou's ghost axe, and at the same time issued a two-hundred-year grounding order to the white tiger.
Chiyou and White Tiger, who were released in this way, only ended up in peace for less than a week, but in order to avoid arousing public anger again, the two of them changed the fighting venue to the middle area of the border of the four parties, which were often sparsely populated, and at the same time would not shake the leylines of Penglai. If you want to say that you have accepted a lesson, it can barely be regarded as a lesson, and after realizing that even if you rely on the divine power of the Supreme God, the other three gods of the four directions can only smile bitterly and acquiesce in this matter.
Therefore, the border area of the Quartet Territory quickly became a forbidden place in Penglai, except for the situation like Yihao, Penglai residents will definitely not get close to the vicinity half a step, and as for crossing from the air, it is even more taboo in the taboo. Captured by the gravity of the fierce god, and then wailing and falling, breaking his leg, the immortal bird spirit beast, even the phoenix clan that ruled the sky had to look sideways.
ââŚâŚ That's it, so we're just getting caught up in those two bad guys in the game. â
When Shang Yi finally ended with this sentence, Yihao didn't know what to say, and his half-raised hand was stunned in the air at a loss. After a long time, I remembered the feeling of scratching my head and feeling weak. "In that case, let's get out of this danger zone as much as we can......"
"That's it?" Shang Yi tilted his head to look at him, and a strange look flashed in his emerald green pupils. "Don't you have any complaints?"
"Complaining ......," Yihao sighed heavily in his heart. Know it when you meet
|There is a good way to make the demon contract to save zĂ i to manage himself.) The most basic ethics of an alchemist, and as for the fact that the demon does not obey the call at all, even a beginner alchemy apprentice has not experienced it, so in a sense, the former demon destroyer has degenerated to the point where he is not even as good as an apprentice. Although no one has ever been able to summon the eternal fierce god, Yihao still does not have the courage to confess the truth in front of the victims.
"Complain to the White Tiger Star Monarch and the Jiuli Fierce God? Those two were far away in the clouds. If you get closer, you won't even lose your life, I'll forget it......" In the end, Yihao just shrugged his shoulders and fooled the matter.
"Let's go, since this is the battlefield of the main god land, let's leave as much as possible."
Yihao, who was weak-hearted, took the lead in taking the step, and Shang Yi looked at his back behind him, but showed a thoughtful expression. But he didn't say anything and walked forward with him.
On the way through the Morning Mist Valley, almost every step of the way can be seen to be raging with the fierce gods. The terrible condition on the surface is enough to describe it as "skin and flesh", so that the fourth generation of the Shenmu clan can't help but turn pale, and the two subconsciously quicken their pace to leave this dangerous place, but when they pass a collapsed mound, they hear a faint groan from nowhere.
"Hey, someone can't be buried inside, right?" Startled, Yihao looked around for the traces of the victims. Shang Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the lower corner of the mound. "There."
I saw a hand coming out of the mound of sand and gravel, and it was trembling like a cramp.
That bit of soil and stone is not an obstacle for the descendants of Jiuli, Yihao easily dug up the soil and stones, and rescued the people buried in it, a young man dressed as a scholar, his shirt was stained with sand and gravel, and half of the cloth towel on his head was scattered, and his face was painted yellow, which looked quite miserable, and his age seemed to be much older than Yihao.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... Thank you so much, brother...... Ahem...... Appearance...... Rescue ......"
The rescued scholar and young man coughed hard, but he didn't forget to thank Yihao, who seemed to be quite knowledgeable and reasonable.
"No, it's nothing, you catch your breath first, and then ......"
"Long wind?"
Just when Yihao was about to say something, Shang Yi next to him rushed up with a panicked expression, revealing a rare anxiety in his voice.
"Are you alright? Did I see what was hurting? â
"Business...... Shangyi? The scholar young man known as "Changfeng" looked at the Shenmu girl with a surprised expression. "Why are you in this place?"
"Hmm...... Well, because I want to send the lost fool to the Palace of Eternal Life, I passed through here. Shang Yi took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt on his face for the scholar, which was completely different from the gentle movements he made when he treated Yihao.
Yihao watched the unexpected situation and whistled in surprise, but it attracted the attention of both of them.
"Is this brother your friend, Shang Yi?" The scholar's gaze moved to Yihao's body, and he raised his hand to salute him with some difficulty. "Under the surname Li Mingchangfeng, thank you again for the life-saving grace of Brother Tai, dare to ask what the benefactor is called?"
"Benefactor or something, it's too exaggerated...... "Yihao waved his hand casually." My name is Yihao, Tie Yihao, it's just a gesture, don't take it to heart. â
"Can Changfeng stand up? Does it hurt anywhere on your body? Shang Yi interjected and asked the scholar with concern.
"This right leg hurts ......a lot since just now," the scholar moved his gaze to his right leg, and Yihao repeated the same action, and then unanimously witnessed the distortion of the right leg in an impossible direction for the human body.
"Fractured...... Yihao said simply, and then looked at the scholar sympathetically and sighed. Brother, you're really declining......"
If Kunlun is called the fairy world, then Penglai is undoubtedly the inhabitants of Penglai, mainly to fairies like Shangyi and demon gods like Jingyu, of course, there are a few human beings, but they are all gods who have survived the catastrophe and obtained the godhead, if there is the only exception, it is probably only the past Yihao.
Li Changfeng is also a god who crossed the tribulation and ascended to the gods, but he was not born as a sword immortal in Penglai, but a Maoshan lineage who is proficient in suppressing souls and summoning souls, cultivating the art of serving ghosts, and surviving the heavenly tribulation, such an example can be said to be extremely rare, so far there has only been one god in the Maoshan lineage. However, this does not mean that they have nothing to do with Penglai, in fact, the Shenmu clan has a very deep relationship with the Maoshan lineage.
The Shenmu clan guards the realm of the afterlife and is responsible for sending the souls of the dead into reincarnation, but in some cases, some special undead spirits are unwilling to respond to the call of the Shenmu, and are even hostile to them. At such times, it is often the Maoshan lineage that is proficient in soul suppression and ghost service that appears to ambush the violent undead and send them into the arms of reincarnation. Thousands of years of cooperation have made each other strongly aware of each other's existence, and the Shenmu clan has maintained a considerable affection for the Maoshan clan, and Li Changfeng, as the only Maoshan clan who came to Penglai, is naturally also cared for by the Shenmu clan.
And in the fourth generation of the Shenmu clan, Shang Yi was the closest one to him.
