Section 22 Hand in hand to return to Ningdu
Ye Lan listened to Mo Yao's words, remembered his father's kindness, and his heart warmed, and suddenly saw Mo Yao's sad face, slightly stunned, and then understood: "She saw that I had my father's love, but I had no father and no mother, and I had a bit of a self-inflicted life experience...... " He couldn't be comforted when he knew this, so he pretended not to understand, deliberately diverted the topic, and asked with a smile: " Wan'er didn't notice anything about your talisman, your technique was really wonderful, especially after crossing the talisman into her sea of qi, her hands rubbed her shirt repeatedly a few times, it was even more profound, forgive me for my clumsiness, but I couldn't see the intention of those few times. ”
Mo Yao chuckled: "I saw that her yellow silk was smooth and felt very good, so I took advantage of the situation to touch it a few more times, and wiped my hands by the way......."
All three of them were very drunk, and the next day they slept until the end of the day, and when they woke up, they had a little refreshment and went out together. The scenery of this Luanhe City is magnificent, the folk customs are bold, the scenery and people are quite impressive, the three of them are not very clear about the great sage people, seeing that the customs of this country are different from other countries everywhere, they can't help but be very interested, they have played for three or five days, and the famous places in the city have been appreciated, Mo Yao has been appreciating it, and secretly paid attention to whether there are demons first-class trouble, but after a few days, it was nothing.
The cultivation of truth in the territory of this great holy country is not open, although there is a group of jade alliances within the jurisdiction of the twelve major factions of the righteous path, but it can only be ranked at the end of the twelve major factions, although there are monks and spirit beasts flying over the city from time to time, most of the people in the city do not pay attention to it, a posture that does not concern oneself is hung high, but there is a kind of free and easy letting you fly high in the sky, and I am free and easy from the ground.
Mo Yao was just ascending to the Yuan Infant Realm, and was trying to find a few demons who were not long-eyed to try their skills, who knew that after a few days of wandering, all she saw in her eyes was singing and dancing, not to mention the evil monks who were making trouble, even the bullies who bullied the weak on the street did not see a few people, she was punished down the mountain, and she could not forget the responsibility of subduing demons and subduing demons, there was nothing to do in the city, it was inevitably tasteless, but when I thought about it, although the heroes were useless, the people could enjoy peace, this was a fortunate thing anyway, if the world was like this everywhere, the people were not aggressive, and the country was not fighting, then the world was peaceful。
Thinking of this, the scene seen on the two holy rivers appeared in front of me, the armies of the two countries are stationed on the border, the swords are tense, and it seems that they will start fighting at any time, but looking at the national atmosphere of this great sage, everyone only cares about living freely, it is obvious that no one in the government and the opposition has taken this kind of thing to heart, on the other hand, the holy empire on the other side of the river, although the whole country worships the Buddha, but the people are fierce, the soldiers are brave, once the two countries go to war, what is the situation of the war, do not ask to know.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head, and secretly thought: "Although it is a pleasure to live a leisurely life, but there are often tigers and wolves on her side, but it is still such a ghost who does not ask about tomorrow today, it is not free and easy, but lacks heart......
The three of them wandered around Luanhe City for two days, and then got up and went east, all parts of this great holy country are like Luanhe City, the people do not know the soldiers, the folk customs are very different from Evian and Tianning, the three of them looked at the novelty at the beginning, and they are used to seeing it, so they do not think it is different.
The three of them walked and stopped, all the way without incident, not half a month, they came to the south of Ningdu more than 100,000 miles, Tianning and the Great Sage two countries to the Qinglu grassland as the boundary, this grassland is only more than 30,000 miles wide, but it is extremely long and narrow, the grassland is mixed with herdsmen, and the tribe lives together. The various tribes are brave and good at fighting, in order to fight for the fertile land of water and grass, they attack each other all the year round, and most of the ministries are nominally the vassals of the two countries of the Great Sage Tianning, but the two great powers regard the grassland departments as the barbarians who drink blood with Ru Mao, and there is no other product on the grassland except for cattle, sheep and livestock, Tianning and the Great Sage are rich in products, and no one can look down on this vast grassland that can't even collect taxes and silver. The two Koreas and the two Koreas are happy to use the grassland as a natural barrier, thinking that the buffer land between the two countries is that no one will garrison troops on this clear grassland, and only let the grassland departments fend for themselves.
100,000 miles away, with Ye Lan and Mo Yao's current foot strength, it will arrive in less than two hours, Ye Lan has left Ye Xiangju for a few months, and he misses Qiu Siyu and a few other gentlemen, and it is only a matter of fingers, Ye Bing should also cultivate to the wind realm, and will come to the north according to the rules of the island to experience, when Ye Lan left the island, he and Ye Bing agreed to meet in Ye Xiangju, he was afraid that he would leave the past few months, Ye Bing had already arrived at Ye Xiangju, with this girl's temperament, naturally he was not patient to wait, maybe he would leave Ningdu to go to other places to go wild, that would make Ye Lan worry about being a brother, so he was very serious, and there was nothing else on this grassland except for the weeds, there is no view to enjoy. He originally wanted to rush with all his strength and fly to Ningdu in one go, but the golden-eyed black panther was only in the Jindan realm, and although the speed of the spirit beast's flight was several times faster than that of the monks of the same realm, it was still not as fast as the monks of the Yuanying realm. Ye Lan couldn't, so he had to walk slowly beside the black panther, chatting with the second daughter from time to time to relieve the boredom of his feet.
After doing this for a long time, I came to the hinterland of the grassland, and suddenly heard the sound of killing shaking the sky, and the two teams of men and horses on the ground were fighting hard. The three of them all knew that it was common for the tribes on the grassland to fight, but Ye Lan was born overseas, and Mo Yao and Su Wan lived a peaceful life before apprenticing to Taixu, and the three of them had never seen the two armies of the mortal world clash in their lives.
There were tens of thousands of men and horses in both teams, all armed with scimitars and carrying longbows, and they rushed back and forth. The two armies don't know how long they have been fighting, the dead people and horses on the ground are not counted, it may have just rained here, and the thin rainwater under the shallow grass has been dyed red with blood, and the sun shines, the red waves are sparkling, and the green grassland is a bloody color.
The sword light in the field reflected the sun, the arrows were like rain, and there were sergeants who died tragically under the swords and arrows at every moment, and the sound of shouting and killing went straight to the sky, Ye Lan and others saw it
These kinds of battles and battles, they are all so shocked that their faces are pale, the three of them are all monks, they usually subdue demons and eliminate demons, and it is almost common to work hard with people, even Su Wan has also killed people with his own hands, but the monks are mostly fighting alone, that is, between big gangs and factions, and there are only dozens or hundreds of people participating in the fight, it seems that these tens of thousands of people are fighting selflessly, but the three of them are the first time to see it, such a tragic scene, people who have not seen it can not understand, the three of them are shocked in their hearts, and they are so shocked that they can't say anything for a while.
After a long time, I suddenly heard Su Wan sigh and said: "In ordinary wars, monks have never been able to intervene, even if the major countries have monks below the Jindan realm to join the army, they can only break the city and behead the generals with their magical powers, and the two armies of these thousands of people are rushing to kill, there is no room for monks to interfere, watching these many people die tragically, it is really uncomfortable, senior sister, Ye Gongzi, let's go." ”
Ye Lan knew that what she said was good, and she also sighed, and wanted to look away, but she heard Mo Yao suddenly whisper: "No, there is something strange here!"
Ye Lan didn't know what she was talking about, stared at the field, but saw that the two armies were still killing selflessly, except for the increasing number of corpses on the ground, he really didn't see anything unusual, and he was puzzled, but he heard Mo Yao say: "Don't look at the sergeants in the field, there seems to be something wrong above the battlefield." ”
When Ye Lan heard him say this, he took his eyes off the battlefield, and just stopped in the air to take a look, and immediately sighed, his voice was full of surprise.
At this time, the grassland is raining, the weather is sunny and sunny, but there is a faint black gas on the battlefield that gathers and rises, reaching the clouds. The sky was scattered with a few dark clouds, which were not commensurate with the clear weather. He glanced at the dark clouds a few more times, and saw that all the black qi that seemed to be there was slowly burrowed into the dark clouds, although its speed was not very fast, but there was not a trace of black qi to escape.
Ye Lan saw that something was wrong, and said softly: "There are people hidden in the dark clouds, but I don't know what they are doing here?"
Mo Yao said coldly: "What else can I do?" said the black qi in the court that was so faint that mortals could not see it with the naked eye, and continued: "If mortals can't die well, they will die unmaturely, and they will more or less give birth to resentment after death, no matter how heavy a person's resentful qi is, it is insignificant in front of the power of heaven and earth, swirling and extinguishing, and it will disperse in an instant, but there are dead souls under the knife every moment on this battlefield, and countless resentful qi are entangled and consolidated, and they will go straight to the sky, and it will not be so easy to disperse quickly." These resentful qi are useless for us righteous path monks to come, but the demon monks regard them as strange goods. The more resentful qi they collected, the more powerful they could be to use it to practice magic weapons. This principle is similar to the method of refining souls with the blood of children, which are extremely poisonous demon magic. ”
Ye Lan listened, nodded, looked down at the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die on the battlefield, his eyes showed deep compassion, and sighed: "Pity these people who are fighting for life and death below, but they don't know that their grievances have become food in the mouths of others after their deaths, it is really pitiful and lamentable!" Speaking of this, he groaned slightly and asked, "Since these Demon Dao monks can profit from the battlefield, then maybe this war was also provoked by them, right?"
Mo Yao smiled bitterly, shook his head and didn't answer, Su Wan also sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "The grassland tribes live on grass by grass, and they have always been fighting each other, so where can they use others to provoke wars? Seeing that the resentment in the air is not very strong, and the effect of using it to refine the magic weapon must be extremely limited, and the demon cultivators hiding in the dark clouds still see this resentment in their eyes, and their cultivation is not very high. ”
Mo Yao snorted lightly and said, "What's the difference between high and low cultivation? These people collect grievances on the battlefield, so that these soldiers who died in vain cannot be cleaned after death, it is really hateful!" With a wave of his right arm, Yuehua flashed away, but he heard the screams in the dark clouds, and the blood in the clouds was sprinkled, falling from the sky, being blown by the winds, falling to the ground, and turning into a rain of blood.
The sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, and the screams of several demon cultivators before death in the dark clouds were undistinguishable from the soldiers on the ground, but the blood rain from the sky was noticed by everyone, and the two armies were immediately shocked and had no intention of fighting. Seeing this, the leaders of the two sides thought that the rain of blood from the sky was a great omen, and they hurriedly ordered their subordinates to stop and retreat. After a while, both sides retreated more than 100 zhang and looked at each other from a distance.
Those few demon cultivators should have cultivated blood refining spells, and they have the ability to transform thousands of bloods, and this blood rain will stop after a cup of tea. Seeing this vision, the two military horses did not dare to fight again, and the shaman who accompanied the army went out to chant spells and cast spells, surpassing the soul of the dead, begging for sin to the immortal heaven, and then turned the horse's head and retreated.
Mo Yao didn't expect that his casual blow would actually lead to such an accident, so he couldn't help but look pale, turned his head and asked Su Wan, "Wan'er, I'm not meddling in ordinary wars, right?"
Seeing that the two armies were fighting, with countless casualties, Su Wan couldn't bear it in her heart, but she didn't expect her senior sister to take action to subdue the demons, causing a burst of blood rain, and actually let the two armies collect the troops by mistake, she didn't know how many lives she could save at this time, she was happy in her heart, where could she take care of the rules that monks could not interfere in mundane warfare, and smiled at Mo Yao at the moment: " Senior sister is relieved, you just took action to subdue the demons, and you didn't mean to meddle in the war between the two armies on the ground, but these demon cultivators had too much blood, so the blood rain scared the two armies away, this matter is to blame, and you can only blame these demon cultivators, but you can't blame the senior sister. ”
Ye Lan listened, stroked his palms and laughed: "Wan'er's words have won my heart!"
Mo Yao slightly
Laughing, he glanced down at the battlefield full of dead bodies, sighed softly, and said, "Let's go." ”
The three of them moved forward again, out of the grassland in a blink of an eye, and walked more than 20,000 miles, and came to the northern suburbs of Ningdu, Ningdu is a big city famous all over the world, and because Ning Zhan is the only monk emperor in the northern Xinjiang, in order to highlight the majesty of the Son of Heaven in the Yuan Infant Realm, it is more intentional to build this Ningdu City to be magnificent and unspeakable, Mo Yao and Su Wan have never been to Ningdu, and they have seen the city from afar.
Ye Lan has lived in Ningdu for a long time, and has been a Tianning national teacher for two years, he has long been accustomed to the prosperity of Ningdu, this time he has only been away for a few months, and when he sees this scene again, he has not much feeling in his heart, he misses Ye Xiangju and everyone, and he is about to fly into the city, suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly froze his body, stretched out his hand to stop Mo Yao, and said loudly: "It's so dangerous! I almost forgot, we can't fly into the city so casually......"
Mo Yao looked towards the city, saw the figures above the city flickering, the magic weapon shining like a firefly, and didn't know how many monks were flying back and forth in the air, he couldn't help but look at him with doubts on his face, and asked, "What?"
Ye Lan remembered that the two of them almost broke into the city, and he was still scared in his heart, patted his chest with his hand, and said: "There is a large array above this Ningdu City, and it is strictly forbidden for monks to break in, so we can't fly in directly." ”
Mo Yao knew that in the big cities of mortals, the government would mostly ask monks to set up magic circles over the city with a lot of money, thinking that the city would be defended, but maintaining such a magic circle would consume a huge amount of spiritual energy. The capitals of the major countries in northern Xinjiang all cover an extremely wide area, with a radius of thousands of miles, such a big city, all the grain and grass are consumed very much, if only ordinary cars and horses are used to transport the needs of the city, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. Most of the bulk items in Northern Xinjiang are transported in spirit beast bags, so the sky above the cities of various countries in Northern Xinjiang is full of monks and spirit beasts coming and going, and you can't go outside this Ningdu City, but Ye Lan said that he couldn't fly into the city, but he didn't know what he meant by this, Mo Yao frowned, stretched out his arm and pointed into the distance, and asked: "This air monk is constantly coming and going, there are more than geese, how can they fly into the city, but we can't?"
Ye Lan shook his head and said: "What you don't understand, this Ningdu City is different from other capitals in Northern Xinjiang, the rest of the empires in Northern Xinjiang, regardless of size, the lords of the country are all mortals, and they know that monks can't interfere in mortal power struggles, and they don't worry that monks will come to assassinate." But Ning Zhan is both a monk and an emperor, and because of this identity, he has a layer of wariness against the major cultivation sects, for fear that there will be masters who will not be good for him. He is a cultivator of the fourth layer of the Yuanying Realm, and the masters in the Forbidden Palace are like clouds, no matter how many monks below the Yuanying Realm come, he doesn't care about it, but if a large number of Yuanying Realm monks attack, maybe he will be able to take the life of His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, he spent countless efforts and hundreds of years of work to lay a net over this Ningdu. This formation is blind to the monks below the Yuan Infant Realm, but if a Yuan Infant Realm monk rashly intrudes, the Great Array will be triggered immediately. I have heard Ning Zhan mention that this big array can be killed even by monks who have just entered the Chaos Realm, but the monks of the Chaos Realm are already top masters in the northern frontier, either the supreme or the elders of the big faction, everyone has a noble status, and no one will trespass on Ning Du without incident, and I don't know if Ning Zhan's words are exaggerated, but there is no doubt that this big array can easily kill the monks of the Yuan Infant Realm. I have only been away from Ningdu for a few months, and when I left, I was still in the Jindan realm, and I have always been used to freely entering and exiting in the sky above Ningdu, and I forgot that we are now in the Yuanying realm, and we can no longer enter Ningdu. Although this big array will only trap the trespassing monks in the formation first, and the person who presides over the big array needs to launch the formation to use the killer, we should not be killed when we break in, but it is not good to be trapped in the formation after all. ”
Mo Yao listened, snorted lightly, his face showed contempt, and said disdainfully: "I have long heard that Ning Zhan is eloquent and strategic, the Taoism is wonderful, and he has reached the fourth level of the Yuanying realm with the respect of the emperor, which is really unprecedented, I heard all kinds of rumors about him, only when he was a great character, I didn't expect that it was better to see than to hear, it turned out that he was just a yellow-robed turtle shrunk in the palace, he was so afraid of death, it would definitely damage the Dao heart, and I was afraid that even if I was the emperor for another thousand years, I would not be able to survive the chaos catastrophe." ”
Although Su Wan didn't know Ning Zhan, she had heard of this person's prestige, and thought that if she said bad things about His Majesty the Emperor in the Tianning Capital, if she let the people of the imperial family hear it, it would definitely be a big trouble, so she whispered to Mo Yao at the moment: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of Tianning has a great temper and ability, and even dared not give the golden face of our head master and the head of Mingde Academy, it is really bold, this Ning is his territory, let's not say disrespectful words to him." ”
Ye Lan has lived in Ningdu for a long time, and has been a national teacher for two years, and he is also a minister of His Royal Highness Ning Zhan, but after all, his cheap national teacher has always been a disguise, and he can't be taken seriously, and he is an idle person overseas, he doesn't like restraint in his life, and he doesn't admire the powerful, so he can't talk about any respect and loyalty to this monk emperor, at this time, listening to Mo Yao's evaluation of Ning Zhan, he only smiled slightly, and said: "The emperor is just a nose and two eyes, how can he not say it?" Just don't say that he is a yellow-robed turtle in front of him. ”
When Mo Yao heard Ye Lan say this, she was very happy, and she looked up at the city wall again, frowned, and said, "Since you can't fly into the city without permission, then how can we enter the city......?"
