Chapter Seventy-Four: The Secret Words of the Bamboo Forest
Demon Realm, Nine Hidden Valleys, Bamboo Ridge
Bai Ying sat on a bamboo branch, blowing Yuxiao faintly, the melodious tune echoed in the bamboo forest, and a long blue windbreaker was blown by the breeze from time to time, everything seemed to be so peaceful.
"Xiao You, are you waiting for them here again?" The Grand Priest of the Nine Valleys, Cavalon, appeared from behind.
Yu Xiao's gentle voice did not stop, so Cavalon and Bai Ying sat side by side on the bamboo branch. Just after the three of them left the Nine Hidden Valley, they sent the people of the Nine Hidden Valley to the vicinity of the Demon Capital to inquire about the news, and Bai Ying himself waited for them here every day, because if they came back alive, they would definitely come here.
But today is the fourth month, they still haven't returned, and the spies sent out haven't heard from them, and Cavalon has never reported any hope, but Bai Ying is convinced that they will definitely return.
After waiting for a long time, Cavalon became a little impatient, and she began to be bored in a daze, her long eyelashes blinking. Suddenly, Cavalon's expression froze, and she stared blankly to the northeast. Bai Ying's voice stopped abruptly, and he turned to Cavalon and said, "Do you feel it?" β
"The atmosphere was shaking." Like Bai Ying, Cavalon was an excellent spiritual monk.
"I guess it's the vibration on the other side of the river basin that came through the space." Bai Ying said silently.
"Is it really possible for them to escape?" Cavalon asked.
"You forgot, they escaped from the Demon Capital City three months ago." Bai Ying said. "If they can escape from the Demon Capital, then they will most likely escape from the river basin."
"Is it because that child is the son of the Fire Demon?"
"Dongfang Ziyan...... That kid is not simple. Bai Ying said silently, "If he can persevere, he will even do better than his father." β
"But if they escape, Dongfang Ziyan will face three great enemies, and his growth will not be smooth." Cavalon said thoughtfully, "After the Yan Demon was persecuted by the Terran newcomer imperial government, Dongfang Ziyan became even more dangerous. β
Bai Ying smiled slightly, "Rookie Emperor...... Speaking of the Human Emperor, I used to have a holiday with Aurora Mikloros. β
"Xiao You, you never told me before." Cavalon said in surprise.
"That's ...... It was a long time ago. Bai Ying muttered.
A gust of wind suddenly blew in the bamboo forest, and the wind blew the forest, and the bamboo branches where the two of them sat swayed non-stop, but Bai Ying seemed to be in deep thought, and his thoughts quickly returned to ten years ago......
Ten years ago, the human world was in the valley of grass
As the former mid-level god of the gods, Ulysses was treated inhumanely, and it has been more than two years since the sentence was pronounced in the Divine Punishment Division, but the voice still echoes in his mind and lingers.
"Ulysses, the mid-level god of the top of the gods, because of the proverb of Rhine Grus, the former high-ranking god of the top of the gods and the senior governor of the Divine Punishment Division, is extremely absurd and godless, and he will be arrested after the decision of the Divine Punishment Division, and it will be executed immediately!"
After that, Ulysses escaped from the divine realm with the secret assistance of the old Rhine and the five saints of the deposed emperor of the Faitus gods, Che Ling, and was chased and killed by the top of the gods many times, and finally wandered to the valley of the hundred grasses in the human world.
He had heard that there were many spirit beasts in Baicao Valley, although for some reason, none of the spirit beasts in Baicao Valley attacked him, an outsider, so he found a random place, lay on the soft grass, and fell asleep unconsciously. He himself did not know how long he had been asleep, but in a dream he dreamed of a tiger with golden hair, and suddenly he woke up, and when he woke up, he found a man sitting next to him.
"Welcome to the Valley of Hundred Grasses, although the Valley of Hundred Grasses is a holy place, it is open to like-minded people, say goodbye to the dirty world before." The young man with long pale blond hair sitting in front of him said a series of unbelievable things, and he didn't know what to say.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Aurora Mikrollos." The young man smiled, but behind the smile he felt uneasy and surprised.
He knew that Aurora was the leader of the Terran Slayer Alliance, and he also knew that he lived in the Valley of Hundred Grass after disappearing, but he didn't expect Aurora to be so young, it stands to reason that he should be an old man who has already been over 100 years old, but he looks younger than himself.
"You are...... The Great Priest's Order? Ulysses asked in surprise.
"That was all in the past, and now I'm a normal person." Aurora's eyebrows are clear, and his gestures show his aristocratic temperament and kingly demeanor. "I heard about you in the human world, and you were found guilty for defending Rhine."
"Ah...... Yes, I'm sorry to enter your territory without your permission," he lowered his head and said, although he didn't know Aurora, but Aurora was the master of Baicao Valley after all, and as an uninvited guest who fled here, he should also be polite, "Excuse me, junior, let's leave." β
"The person who pursues you is in the forest not far from the valley, and if you go out, you will be caught, so take refuge from me for the time being." Aurora held out a friendly hand to him.
Ulysses hesitated for a moment, then took his hand, and Aurora pulled him up from the ground.
Aurora led him to the bamboo hut on the giant tree Iglasius, where Ulysses sat on the bamboo floor, watching Aurora busy preparing meals, and from time to time a breeze blew and the rustle of the bamboo forest outside.
"Aurora-sama, you don't have to bother." He said.
At this time, a man walked in with a large piece of processed wild boar in his hand, and Aurora said without looking back, "Dragon, help me entertain the guests." β
With half-length black hair, a red rope tied around his forehead, and a golden pendant hanging from the center of his eyebrows, Selente Deesch Dragon looked at him with a hearty smile, "A guest is coming?" It's rare. β
"Hello." Ulysses had heard the name when he was at the top of the gods.
After that, Ulysses learned that the dragon was the great sage master of the Terran Hongjun Empire, and he had come to take care of his teacher Aurora, and he had not stayed here for long.
The master and apprentice entertained this guest from the Protoss with the game of Baicao Valley.
After coming to the bamboo house of Aurora, Ulysses's impression of the human race has changed greatly, in the past, when he was in the divine realm, the archangel in charge of the top of the gods, the chief god of the upper rank, Andres, repeatedly emphasized that the human race is the most terrible race of the three races, they are bloodthirsty and brutal races, if a world war breaks out again, then the human race will be a more terrible enemy than the black stone demon race. Ulysses was also skeptical of what AndrΓ©s said, and he often looked through books about the Terrans in the library of the Top of the Gods, but those books did not mention the brutality and bloodlust of the Terrans, and this time he at least saw with his own eyes that the Terrans were not as terrible as the legends said.
"Lord Aurora, why did you choose to live in seclusion?" Ulysses himself didn't know about it, and only a few people knew about Aurora's affairs in Hundred Grass Valley, and everyone in the world knew that Aurora's alliance with the Slayer had disappeared. He held the teacup in his hand, thoughtful.
"It's not a seclusion, maybe my heart yearns for freedom." Aurora said lightly.
Ulysses said, "I also longed for freedom, and I hated this twisted world. Aurora-sama, I think you should be able to enlighten me about my confusion. β
"Who would like to survive in such a worldly world?" Aurora looked out the window, "But there must always be a reason to live in life, that is, the meaning of survival...... Why did you rebel against your people? Why did I abandon my tribe, don't you know in your hearts? β
The dragon sat aside and rubbed the golden winged iron sword with a white handkerchief, and said nothing, as if the conversation between the two had nothing to do with him. When he is silent, he becomes uninhabited.
"Aurora-sama, I think this question has been solved in the Hundred Years of Chaos. That is the series of problems caused by the Warring States, and there will be no freedom without peace. Ulysses looked at Aurora's golden pupils, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"No, this question is a dead knot, there will be no answer, you say that the Warring States is good, or for other reasons, but we are already in such a bad era, and we have no power to change it, so we can only follow the trend." Aurora stood up, his figure tall and tall, but with a feminine exudation, "Sengoku will change, and before that, I can't die." β
Ulysses looked at the man in front of him, his expression calm but his heart was beating like a drum, he nodded, "I understand, thank you for your advice." β
"It's not safe for you to stay here, tomorrow the dragon will return to the imperial capital Chihong, and when the time comes, you go with him, and he will arrange for someone to send you to the demon realm." Aurora said.
He glanced at the dragon, who was still wiping his sword, and he looked up at Ulysses with a grim face, and nodded.
Aurora approached him and said slowly, "Ulysses, you are still young, although there are some historical contradictions between the human race and the Faitus God race, but this world will one day be taken over by you young people, so ......"
Before Aurora finished speaking, Ulysses knelt down on one knee, "Aurora-sama's teachings will never be forgotten in the next life." β
β¦β¦
The memories of ten years ago were like a pool of stagnant water deposited in Bai Ying's mind, and when I recalled it, it was like throwing stones into it, causing waves.
Unconsciously, a cold wind was already blowing in Fanzhuling, and after Bai Ying finished speaking, Cavalon said thoughtfully, "The Baicao Valley you said seems to be very similar to our Fanzhuling." β
"Well, but Baicao Valley is more beautiful than here, because there is no sunlight in the Demon Realm after all." Bai Ying said with a smile.
"In that case, you still have some friendship with Selent Desh Dragon!" Cavalon said with his head resting on his shoulder.
"That's right," Bai Ying said, hugging her waist.
Cavalon suddenly said, "Dragon, it's Dongfang Ziyan's teacher!" Have you forgotten? We've looked into it. β
Bai Ying was a little incredible, his face was cold, as if he remembered something, and he spoke silently, "It seems that Dongfang Ziyan, this kid is really not a simple character, the former 'cursed son'?!" β
At this moment, a masked member of the Nine Shadows Organization came to the bottom of the bamboo and said respectfully, "Gu Master, Si Ming, there is news of them, they are not dead. β
