6 Chapter II

The sky is still so clear.

Ruoyi never had the luxury of expecting to return to "Kyushu" one day. But, she's back. Although it has been two hundred years since she left.

Exactly two hundred years!

"Sister Ruoyi! Sister Ruoyi! You see. In the distance, an emaciated figure scurried up to the front.

The child was dressed in tatters. On his body, his face was a mess, but he had a pair of watery eyes. He had four rats struggling in a panic in his hands, looking triumphant.

Ruoyi touched the child's head and said, "Little Tiger is good, it's amazing." Take it back and let your mother and grandfather see it. "Don't tell him to throw it away, because she knows that in their eyes it's life-saving food, not a mouse that burrows through a mountain of corpses and is covered in bacteria.

"Good!" Xiaohu was praised, and the smile on his face became sweeter, and he ran to the broken temple with joy.

Looking at the back of the child gradually drifting away, if you hide the smile on your lips. Glanced at the lifeless streets.

Is this Kyushu 200 years from now?

The royal road does not exist, the princes are entrenched, there are years of war, and the people are not happy. Everywhere there were people fleeing. Famine and plague swept across this once rich land.

Five days ago, Xiaohu's mother saw Ruoyi lying alone outside the broken temple in a "weird" outfit, and her whole life was white and pure, thinking that she was a young lady from which family. Woke her up.

The word "save" is not an exaggeration at all.

Outside of this Zong Yang City, it was surrounded by an army of monsters. The officials who defended the city captured all the men in the city, and the food was collected and scraped for military rations.

A few days ago, the city lord invited some foreign aid, those people were greedy and lustful and cruel, and many women in Zongyang City had suffered. The people were oppressed, and they dared not speak out......

Just as he was thinking, at the other end of the street, two patrolling sergeants staggered over.

Ruo hurriedly squatted down, grabbed a handful of yellow mud and put it on his face, covered his head with a turban, turned his back to them, and pretended to dig grass roots.

"Hey, woman!" A sergeant with a green collar squeezed his arms at the man next to him.

Another red-collar sergeant swept his eyes and pushed away the blue-collar sergeant, and said, "Yesterday, the Ordinary Palace sent someone to investigate. Dozens of them were cut in half. What does it mean to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys? Have you forgotten what happened to those people? โ€

"Aren't I just going to see......" Qingling touched his nose awkwardly and left with a little reluctance.

Ruoyi let out a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and looked back with palpitations, his eyes passed through the dead street, and he saw the battle flag hunting on the castle tower in the distance.

Illusion?

Not daring to stay any longer, she hurriedly ran back to the broken temple and covered the door.

There were six people sitting in the broken temple, and Xiaohu's family had already peeled off the four rats and boiled them. When everyone saw that she was entering the door, they all unconsciously moved back.

Ruoyi was accustomed to finding a corner and sat down.

In view of the "Youdu Mountain" theory five days ago, the refugees hiding in the ruined temple have long regarded her as a person who is in the company of monsters, and only Xiaohu and his grandfather are good to her.

I didn't expect that after two hundred years, the gap between humans and demons would become so big.

In the past, although there were many contradictions between humans and demons, they were able to work together and communicate for their own interests. By no means as it is now - hostile.

Retracting her thoughts, she remembered the conversation between the two sergeants. Ordinary palace, if one knows this place. Because two hundred years ago in this world, it was already famous.

That's where immortals are cultivated.

The boss there is called Ji Zixuan, and the people below like to call him "Supreme Venerable". If you first heard this number one, you thought it was a white-haired old man, but after meeting Ji Zixuan, you realized that there were still men in this world who could be comparable to Cangxiao.

Unlike the arrogance of the sky, it was a gentle man.

At least it seems.

After all, the person who can fight evenly with the creepy nine-tailed fox with a black belly in Cangxiao will not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

He and Cangxiao are mortal enemies.

As if it was the destiny of heaven, they fought endlessly. As small as a plant or tree, as large as all living beings. Whatever pleases the other person, they are committed to destroying it.

For them, maybe the other party is a demon who pushes himself to hell!

Yan Ruoyi was confused more than once. Why do two people who are so dusty get along so badly......

Or rather, childish.

Sure enough, life is very delicate.

When she first met Cangxiao, Cangxiao was beaten into its original form, only one of the nine tails remained, and almost all of its demonic power was lost - that thing was also done by the ordinary palace. Although I later heard that Ji Zixuan was also seriously injured in that battle......

But from a certain point of view, if a pair of palace masters are worshipped.

Although later, after the demonic power of Cangxiao recovered, it was not difficult to change into seventeen or eighteen tails again. But when he had the ability to conjure seventeen or eighteen tails, he was beaten to only one tail, and a certain Yan couldn't imagine it.

Is the current ordinary palace still run by Ji Zixuan? He actually sent someone to supervise the army, could it be that this besieging monster is very powerful? Who is it? Will she know each other?

Ji Zixuan is fine now, so is he the one who sealed the sky more than a hundred years ago? When Cangxiao was sealed, what about Wu Luo? What about Zitan? Didn't anyone come out to his aid?

And why seal the sky? How to seal the sky? What about the demon clan after sealing the sky?

Countless questions piled up in her mind, one sticking to the other.

Xiaohu's grandfather told Ruoyi that the world began to be chaotic two hundred years ago, and then it became more and more chaotic and worse.

Two hundred years ago, for some reason, an unprecedented war broke out between fairies and demons. The legendary battle caused chaos in the heavens and the earth for seven days and seven nights, the ordinary palace collapsed, and the sea was exhausted.

For the next three years, all winters were red.

At the beginning, the immortal clan was defeated, so they joined forces with humans.

After the sky was sealed, the demon clan was defeated and retreated, cutting the land and suing for peace. After the emperor of the human race was assassinated, his younger brother usurped the throne, and wanted to occupy the land cut out by the demon clan, of course Ji Zixuan refused, so people and immortals began to fight again.

The demon clan took this opportunity to recuperate and regain their vitality, and naturally refused to give up the land again, so they tore up the treaty, joined forces with the ordinary palace, and beat the usurping emperor on the battlefield to kill himself.

The emperor died. The princes of various places then rose up to overthrow the imperial system, and cut the land and occupied the mountains as kings.

The world is in chaos.

The demon clan went around to regain the territory that belonged to them. As soon as the new emperor came to power, he devoted himself to reunifying Kyushu and restoring the glory of the "Great Enlightenment" kingdom in the past, so he continued to fight with the surrounding vassal states. The Ordinary Palace and the various princes have more or less disputes over the territory, but when dealing with the demon clan, the positions of both sides are extremely firm - the territory must not be returned to them!

So there was the matter of the ordinary palace uniting the princes to fight against the demon clan.

She wanted to know too much about what had happened in the past two hundred years, but those were the ones that the people of the war years didn't want to ask about at all, they just needed to live well.

Xiaohu's grandfather knew this, and he just cobbled it together on the way to escape.

"Sister Ruoyi, do you want to eat?" Xiaohu walked up to Ruoyi with a broken bowl containing some minced meat soup, she just wanted to refuse, but her stomach screamed a few times uncooperatively. She glanced at the pot of rat meat that had been surrounded by everyone, and then looked at Xiaohu's expectant gaze.

Forget it, who is qualified to dislike it now?

Normal food? That was from a lifetime ago. Ruoyi took the broken bowl with a wry smile, gritted his teeth and drank it ruthlessly, and swallowed it into his stomach without waiting for the taste.

Rat meat without any seasoning......

Handing the bowl back to Xiaohu, Ruo turned over the foul smell in her throat a few times, she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly: "I think, I still have to go out for a walk." โ€

As soon as she went out, around the corner, she started retching while holding her stomach.

"Miss Yan." A deep male voice came from behind him, and Ruoyi was so frightened that he immediately stopped retching and turned around vigilantly. Under the shadow of the broken eaves stood a sergeant in armor.

Ruoyi still had the strong fishy smell of rats in his mouth, and he couldn't help but vomit a few more times before he said, "Who are you?" โ€

"The last general was ordered by General Taifeng to pick up the girl and gather at the camp." The man ignored the answer in a serious manner.

The person who recognized her must be an old monster left over from two hundred years ago.

But, Tai Feng

How could she not remember the existence of this person? Still together?

looked the "last general" up and down, and thought: The person who came is not good.

She's not brain-dead, she's just going to leave when someone tells her to go.

Although, the general of Natai seems to be able to solve the confusion in her mind, but ...... Keep this life and go to Youdu Mountain for a walk. It must be better!

"No need, I can live here...... Vomit...... It's a good stay, ahem, something called your general to come by himself. โ€

"The girl is not embarrassed, the general invites the girl to gather in the camp, and I hope the girl will cooperate." The "last general" stepped forward. Clench your fists and bow.

If you snort coldly, this is please? Well said.

She took a step back, about to slip away. But I don't want to hit a wall that blocks hard bangs. Looking back in surprise, I saw two sergeants grabbing her arms one left and one right, and Ruoyi shouted angrily: "Do you still want to rob people in broad daylight?" Let me go! โ€

"Miss Yan, offended." The "last general" took a few big strides in front of Ruoyi, who was constantly struggling, and slashed down with one palm. She stared and wanted to scold something, but her body softened uncontrollably. The last general waved his hand, "Take it away." โ€

Damn! Ruoyi lay on the bed and moved his left neck. This is used to pick it up, it's obviously a robbery!

Oh, too, this place in Kyushu has always been like this. Thoroughly carry out the will of "the strong is king".

"Miss Yan is awake." Hearing this, if she had been sitting up upright, her neck hurt from the violent movements, but she couldn't care about it, and stared at the man sitting at the table drinking tea with vigilance.

The man gave birth to a charming face, and the lines of the face were hard but not indifferent. She felt a sense of dรฉjร  vu, dressed in a brown plain robe, and her black hair was tied up high. Even if he was dressed like this, she could guess that this was the general Taifeng.

Seeing that Ruoyi had been staring at him, Tai Feng put down the teacup and smiled politely: "Miss Yan, two hundred years ago, I said goodbye in a hurry before the cold โ–กโ–ก, do you remember where you were?" โ€

If you are stunned.

"Heh, it's rude, I haven't introduced myself yet." Tai Feng stood up and bowed lightly: "One of the four generals under the command of the Palace Master of the Ordinary Palace, Tai Feng." Miss Yan, don't come unharmed. โ€

He was actually one of the four generals under Ji Zixuan. That is, he robbed her to go to the cold โ–กโ–ก to replace her......

There was a pain in his head, and if he forced himself to stop thinking about the cave door that had not been opened until death, he concentrated on the general who was smiling falsely in front of him.

Ji Zixuan actually sent all the characters of such weight, which shows that the besieging city is not a small person. But what does this do to her? And, how did he recognize her? Isn't it been 200 years, how can you still remember it so clearly?

โ€ฆโ€ฆ Sure enough, because it's a youkai.

"Miss Yan, Ming people don't say secret words, I invite you here in this way, and I really ask you for help if there is something." Tai Feng met Ruoyi's wary gaze, still smiling politely, "I want to ask the girl to go up to the city tower with me tomorrow to supervise the battle." โ€

Overseer?

asked her, a delicate woman, to go to the castle governor who was the easiest to be killed in seconds...... Overseer?

Tai Feng was very satisfied with her slightly stunned expression, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the girl, I'm afraid this battle will have to be opened tomorrow, and the situation in the city girl has also seen, so thousands of broken defenders, it is indeed impossible to win the 100,000 elite soldiers of the demon clan." What's more, this leader is still the nine-tailed white fox who once dominated the world-the sister of Cangxiao. Tai Feng paused and glanced at her.

If you were stunned, the word "Wuluo" inadvertently slipped away from your lips. She hurriedly stopped.

The corners of Taifeng's lips hooked in his eyes, and his heart was determined, "Please ...... aunt"

"Are you going to take advantage of me?" As soon as he interrupted him, his gaze shot straight into Tai Feng's eyes like a sword.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled calmly, "Exactly." โ€

If you look at the sky.

What else can be said in the face of such a shameless person?

"Since you've 'invited' me here, it's not up to me to decide whether I go or not. It's just that what if I went, after all, it was two hundred years ago. Not to mention whether Wu Luo will be threatened by you for a woman who died two hundred years ago, it is debatable whether she even knows me. General, instead of wasting time with me here, you should go up to the castle tower early to supervise the ruined defenders. โ€

"Oh, the girl is laughing." Tai Feng narrowed his eyes, "Fuyun Pavilion has never lived in an inconsequential person." Those elders of the demon clan, who don't know why this war came from now. Girl, why do you have to depreciate yourself? โ€

Why did this war come about? Ruoyi, who heard the meaning of his words, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

It's because ...... She?

How can it be!

"You can't do things halfway, if you get into trouble, you should naturally bear it." The old voice flashed through Ruoyi's mind.

She had a headache, the old man, the old man who sent her to this world again said something like this, is that old man also a person from this world?

If she remembered that she had seen the old man's face, why couldn't she remember?

She should know him.

Who is it? Who has that ability? Momo said that it was just a dream of hers, so why did the person in this dream appear in reality and bring her over?

Since the girl agreed so readily, it was inconvenient to bother below. I also asked the girl to rest here for the night. I'll have to go up to the castle tower earlier to see the ruined defenders. Leave. With that, he flicked his robe and went out.

"Wait ......" This guy is the one who has been here for two hundred years, and who else here knows better than him what has happened over the years.

But as if deliberately not giving her a chance, the door was quickly closed.

Ruoyi jumped out of bed in a hurry, didn't even put on shoes, and rushed straight to the door, but couldn't open the door. She angrily hung the door and yelled: "Taifeng! Open the door for me! I still have something to ask! โ€

"Miss Yan, please rest early. If there is something, the general will ask you for advice. Outside the door was the voice of a strange sergeant.

"Damn!" Slip away! She kicked the door hard, and in desperation, walked back to the bed and sat down.

Why did this war come about?

She shrank into the corner and hugged her knees, and the terrible roar with the cold wind flashed in her mind over and over again - "Yan Ruoyi"

Bury your head in the arms of your arms. The sky. What the hell is wrong with you.

Are you alright?
