Chapter 13 Seeking the World: Winter Journey

On the banks of the Great Wall, it is dawn.

The petal scale flowers swayed in the wind, and the two figures, one white and one black, stood one after the other outside the Great Wall and Yumen Pass.

In the shadow of the city gate, the guards shook their furry ears and yawned very unhappily, "Who is meow?" I don't know if it's time to open and close the market? ā€

"Yo, little kitten~" Li Bai raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and smiled.

Shen Mengxi, who was half-asleep and half-awake, instantly fell asleep, and cried out in surprise, "Alas, Lord Li Bai! ā€

Seeing the pair of ears, Fang Sheng, who was looking at the magnificent Great Wall, silently moved to the side, but he accidentally kicked the stone, attracting the attention of the two.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Ah, who are you?"

A voice was concerned, a voice was full of unhappiness, the corners of Fang Sheng's mouth twitched, and he replied, "It's okay, it's just that when I see his ears, I feel a little pain in my back......"

Li Bai asked, "Huh? You were injured in the melee with the demon seed before? ā€

Fang Sheng sighed and replied, "No, it was I who was forced to pull out the wings by the cat demon before, although those pairs of wings were chased back later, but I have already given birth to new wings, but I have left a psychological shadow before, and now when I see the cat, I feel a little trembling." ā€

"So, who are you? How do you stay with Master Li Bai? Shen Mengxi leaned over, leaned in front of Fang Sheng, and asked with great spirits.

"He's a phoenix bird......" Li Bai didn't finish speaking, and was overshadowed by Fang Sheng's abruptly raised volume, "My name is Fang Sheng, and Lord Li Bai and I are just travelers who traveled together on the way, and we are descendants of the demon seed like you~"

"Meow?" Shen Mengxi looked at him suspiciously, but Li Bai still nodded very cooperatively.

"Okay, that's right!" Shen Mengxi nodded, then remembered what was going on, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Li Bai coming to the Great Wall?" There is no need to interrogate you, but the traveler next to you is a little suspicious, so you can't let him go. ā€

"It's okay, you go and report to the commander, I'll wait for you here, just say, Li Bai came with a piece of information related to the safety of the Great Wall."

"It's about the Great Wall Meow?! Such a serious meow...... Shen Mengxi was taken aback, then pondered for a moment and asked, "Then the captain she meows, and the two meows ......"

Fang Sheng said, "Well, they're all fighting~"

"Wow meow, who wants you to answer the meow~" Shen Mengxi glanced at him and said to Li Bai, "Lord Li Bai wait a minute, I'll go to report to the chief, please wait here for a while." ā€

"When you pass, the petal scale flowers will be completely destroyed." At some point, a bunch of petal scale flowers appeared in Fang Sheng's hand, which was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Don't look down on people!" Shen Mengxi was very angry, took out a lighter and lit his tail, "Look at meow, I'll be back soon!" ā€

Then, as soon as he did, he disappeared into the depths of the city gates.

"This kid ...... Why do you always love to take meows? ā€

"Wild and untamable...... His ancestors, but the one who repaired the Great Wall, the incredible descendant of the demon seed! ā€

"Have you repaired the Great Wall...... Indeed, great enough. Fang Sheng raised his head again, looked at the tower of the Great Wall that seemed to be a sharp sword reaching into the sky, and muttered, "I thought that no one else had such thoughts except Lord Adel!" ā€

Fang Sheng's voice was very soft, Li Bai didn't hear it clearly, "Huh? What did you say? ā€

"It's nothing, it's just ...... emotion"

"Oh?"

"The people I met along the way were very young, the oldest was only in his thirties, and in this kind of war, even teenagers were involved, and some ...... Blew me away. ā€

"You probably don't know that they are the descendants of the demon seed, and they have neither inherited the power of the human demon path nor the long life of the demon seed, they can only sacrifice everything for the Great Wall in their short lives."

"It's sad!" Fang Sheng paused for a moment and said, "When the gods set foot on the jade road, I was standing on the Great Wall looking at the western sky, and at that time, the envoy told me that she always felt that in three thousand years, there would be people like her and me standing here, throwing their heads and spilling their blood for the ruler's command...... In the end, this will not be remembered for a hundred years of life, easily buried in the loess. ā€

Li Bai didn't speak again, quietly looking at the fluttering flags, the desert wind blowing the hem of their clothes, and behind them, the petals and scales of the hillside were withering.

Great Wall Yumen Pass, Headquarters.

Shen Mengxi ran wildly all the way, and finally arrived at the headquarters, and he asked the soldiers standing guard, "Have you seen Lord Li Xin's meow?" ā€

"Chief Li should patrol the corner tower, and Chief Shen can go there and have a look."

"Ah, what a troublesome meow ......" Shen Mengxi thought of Li Bai, who was waiting for him outside the city, gritted his teeth, and headed towards the corner tower pointed by the soldier.

On the wall of the Great Wall, Li Xin was squatting on the ground, wiping his sword with a black cloth, his expression was very serious, as if it was a rare treasure.

And behind him, a wall separates the desert from the oasis, from war and peace.

Counting the time to the Great Wall, it has been ten years, I don't know if the spring of Chang'an is the same as in the past......

But 10 years have passed!

Chang'an has changed hands, and no one remembers him anymore, not even the abolished prince and the first emperor.

I don't want Chang'an City to forget me!

The old vows still echoed in his mind, stimulating every inch of his body.

He wants to recapture Chang'an City, no matter what the cost!

But he didn't think about whether he would be willing to give away the Great Wall if he really recaptured Chang'an City?

The person who made the contract with him, is he willing to hand over Chang'an City to him in its entirety?

Moreover, will the gods hidden behind the curtain make him successful?

He never found out that what he wanted in his heart was not to recapture Chang'an City, but to walk to the ends of the earth with a lover after the war with the demon seed, raise a cat, plant a few flowers that only bloom in autumn, and grow old in the sun in a courtyard with plane trees.

It's a pity that he is the emperor's grandson Li Xin, and his background determines that his future cannot be as he imagined.

"Huh~Huh~ I'm so tired of meow~" At this time, Shen Mengxi climbed up the corner tower breathlessly, "Chief meow ......"

"Nope."

"Alas, but it's a very important meow~"

"Nope!"

"Sir Meow, it's Lord Li Bai who is here~"

"Can't you say it...... Well? Li bai? Li Xin wiped his sword for a moment, thinking to himself what he was doing?

"Yes Meow!"

Li Xin stood up and looked sideways at the dusty desert in the distance, and the sky was black and oppressive.

"Lead the way."

"Okay meow~"

"Are you really a phoenix?" After waiting for Shen Mengxi to inform the chief, Li Bai couldn't help but ask.

He looked at the weak young man with a few red feathers on his head, and had some doubts that he was not the so-called phoenix bird at all.

Fang Sheng was very confident, "It's like a fake." ā€

"Are you a demon or a human?"

"Before I met you, I was neutral, but now, I've changed my mind."

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ā€

"I'm going to Chang'an. All the phoenix birds before me will choose their allegiance to their masters in Chang'an, and my master may be in Chang'an. ā€

"Then, your master, will he be the new ruler of Heluo?"

"Ahem, probably yes......" Fang Sheng nodded a little embarrassedly, he really couldn't answer this question.

"Where is he?"

Fang Sheng shook his head, "I don't know, because since ancient times, it is not the phoenix bird that chooses the emperor, but fate, by the way, it is not the emperor who chooses the phoenix bird." ā€

"Huh!" Li Bai looked disgusted.

"Don't underestimate me, maybe the next one to appear in front of me will be my king?" Fang Sheng closed his eyes arrogantly and turned his head and snorted coldly.

"If I can find the monarch I am destined for, no matter what the cost, I will make him the greatest emperor in the world."

"Oh, I wish you all the best, but how can you be sure who is your sovereign?"

"According to the words of the messenger, it is a lifetime of one eye."

"I thought it was a great way to rely on my instincts."

"I'm the commander of the Great Wall, Li Xin."

At this moment, Fang Sheng heard a word that was immersed in his soul, and fate was connected to it at this moment.

He opened his eyes and stared sharply at the young man who had emerged from the shadows.

"Long time no see, Li Bai."

The picture is divided into several moments, and time seems to stand still at this moment.

The handsome face was expressionless, with a sharp chin, a little black streak at the end of each eye, pale skin, a black robe worn by a slender body, a black knife on his shoulder, and a familiar smell - it was a mixture of gods, humans, and demon gods.

Li Bai didn't see Fang Sheng's expression at this moment, he only heard him whisper, "Ah, I found it...... My monarch! ā€

- At this moment, I will make a vow that I will follow him and never forsake him.

Fang Sheng remembered that a long time ago, the god who created him had said that sometimes, they believed more than humans in the feeling that a glance was a lifetime.

One time God looks back, it is a catastrophe that will never be recovered.

At this moment, the desert in the clouds, the land of erosion, the center of the storm.

Mulan and her party dodged the trampling of the demon seed, but they did not escape the tentacles' capture, but she soon found that the tentacles didn't seem to be interested in her, but chased after Armor and Luna.

"Like, that monster is very interested in the power of the demonic path?" Looking at the tentacles that were only chasing Armor and Luna, Shouyo speculated.

Mulan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry so much, you can see if your bullet can hit, the target is in the air, and we can't fight!" ā€

Shouyo fired a shot at the monster, and the moment he approached, he was blocked by an invisible wall of air and shot at his original location.

If it weren't for his habit of running after the fight, he would probably be dead at this moment.

"Ahh

"Are you...... A lost child in a caravan? Mulan was startled by the girl who suddenly appeared, and thought it was a child lost by a nearby caravan.

The little girl lifted her hood, pursed her lips, and condensed the flowers in her hands into ice slag, "No, apart from my height, where do I look like a child?" ā€

Xuan Ce suddenly attacked her, "You're controlling that monster?" ā€

"I didn't expect that the children now are so powerful!" Hua Mulan was stunned for a moment, thinking of her mistake, she couldn't help laughing at herself, clenched her light sword, and also launched an attack together.

And in the white flowers, Armor and Luna fought with the monster's tentacles one after another, and the power of the demonic path also poured into their bodies.

At a certain moment, some of the images suddenly woke up, and the armor was unaware for a while, and was swept up by the tentacles, and Luna rushed over calling his name, but it didn't take long for the armor to be let go by the tentacles, and the tentacles grabbed him, and began to crack inch by inch, and the monster had to cut off the injured tentacles.

"It's afraid of the magic armor?" Luna lifted her brother up, looked at the fading tentacles around her, and said in surprise.

Not only that, but the power of the Demon Dao was constantly pouring into the armor's body, repairing his injured places and the broken magic armor.

- Luna, the Demon God isn't afraid of Demon Armor, it's because your brother is going to be a monster too.

"Hirsch?"

- It's me.

"Where are you?"

- I am in the General's Palace, there was an earthquake in the desert in the clouds, and the entire city of the Duhufu collapsed, so it is okay, there is no need for the King of Lanling to fight with the Great Wall.

Luna didn't bother to listen to what the messenger was saying, she had already noticed that her brother's body was starting to stiffen, and her pupils were gradually losing their lustre, "You said my brother was going to turn into a monster, what's going on?" ā€

- Once the power of the Demon Path absorbed by the Demon Armor reaches its limit, it will turn your brother into a monster.

- If you want to save him, you can only prevent the power of the demon path from continuing to enter his body.

"What should I do?" Luna looked at her brother, whose face had turned purple, and was on the verge of crying.

"Use your sword to absorb the excess power of the Demon Dao...... But you have to think about the consequences, remember the scene when we first met, absorb too much demonic power, and you will also become a monster. ā€

You ...... "Can you help me?"

Luna longed for the messenger to help her, but thought it was too far away, so she closed her eyes and summoned a circle to channel the power of the demon path to the Moonlight Sword.

The little girl, who was dodging an attack in mid-air, sensed something was wrong and flew in the direction of Luna and Armor, looking at the two of them in the Star and Moon Totem with a meaningful expression.

"Sure enough, it's interesting to follow G, it's a twin demon god, it's interesting!"

"Hey, don't get distracted during the battle!" The moment the voice sounded, Xuan Ce's flying sickle, Mulan's light sword, and the bullet of the promise hit the strange little girl at the same time.

The little girl fell from mid-air without noticing, steadying herself before falling onto the dune.

She looked back with anger on her face, her golden eyes full of displeasure, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Annoying bugs! ā€

Hua Mulan frowned, stared at the little girl tightly, and told without blinking, "Xuan Ce, keep the contract, you should be careful for a while." ā€

The little girl reached out and drew out the weapon in her body, crushing it in front of their eyes, and showed a weird smile, "You bugs, it's disgusting! ā€

As soon as the words fell, the spikes of earth suddenly rose from the place where Mulan and the others were, but fortunately they reacted quickly and were not dressed into meat skewers.

"Cut, it's quite good to hide!" The little girl sneered, put her thumb and forefinger in her mouth, and blew a whistle suddenly.

At this moment, the monster on the dead wood also opened all its eyes in an instant.

In that scarlet gaze, Mulan found that she couldn't move, and so did Shou Yue and the others.

"Die, bugs!" The little girl showed a prank successful expression, and behind her, a tentacle pierced Mulan and the others.

On the ruins of the Metropolitan Protectorate, through the Eye of Insight, the messenger looked at the only crimson figure standing against the demon god in the storm, and for some reason felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, as if she had watched the crimson figure disappear into the depths of the desert like this a long time ago......

"Let's go over and help them...... Not? Before Guiguzi, who shared her vision, finished speaking, she was covered by the messenger's cloak, and she made a silent gesture.

After Guiguzi nodded, the messenger let the cloak let go of him, and then the cloak transformed into wings again.

Guiguzi was stunned for a moment, "You...... What are you doing? ā€

"Mengqi, he'll leave it to you, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Mengqi waved his claws happily, "Force~"

"Stay safe, Hirsch."

"Okay." The messenger nodded, closed her eyes and opened them again, and in her golden pupils, without a trace of temperature, her wings fluttered, and she rushed into the sky, galloping towards the storm.

"Ahh The little girl was surprised by Mulan's ability to bear injuries, and at that moment, she showed an unhappy expression, "Your heavy sword is a bit interesting, it can actually block the attack of the demon god." ā€

"But, alas, you're destined to die here."

After the little girl finished speaking, she once again ordered the tentacles to attack the scarred Mulan.

Hua Mulan was no longer able to lift her heavy sword to resist, and at this moment, she heard a familiar voice, "Don't run yet?" Stunned to do something! ā€

She felt light, was held in someone's arms, and dodged the fatal blow.

"Why are you here?" Mulan asked in surprise.

"I'll explain later." King Lanling quickly shuttled through the pile of rocks and said.

"We met on the way, so we came together." A messenger with a man in one hand appeared beside them and said:

"I see."

As for the process...... King Lanling didn't want to recall, he was about to be blown stupid by the wind!

With the blessing of the Wind Trace, she quickly escaped from the range of the black whirlwind, and Mulan leaned on the chest of the Lanling King, and suddenly remembered one thing:

"But what if Kai and Luna are still inside?"

When the messenger heard this, he put the two brothers who had fainted on a nearby rock and said to King Lanling and Mulan, "Wait here for a while, and I will go and go back." ā€

"You...... You're going to be fine, right? Mulan grabbed her wings and sighed in her heart that it was so comfortable.

The messenger was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly, "No." ā€

In the center of the black storm, on the dead wood, the little girl looked at the two siblings lying at her feet and muttered, "What should I do?" Cultivating a monster has used most of the demon seeds in the desert in the clouds, and then the twins...... Ah, what a hassle! ā€

"Moreover, this guy G actually ran away with someone without saying a word!"

"Stop it, Dongya!" The messenger landed behind her and put it on her shoulder.

ā€œG? You're still here! ā€

"You're overstepping, Y!" The messenger said coldly.

"Cut, if you don't unlock the seal of the demon god, someone has to come, you can't do it, I'll come!"

"Unreasonable."

Dong Ya sneered, but still let go of his clenched hand, "For your sake, let them go, but it is only a matter of time before the Eye of Annihilation attacks the Great Wall!" ā€

"That's what happened later, and you don't have the right to ask."

"I'm for your good, have you been changed by humans? How can this kind of thinking come to you? It's weird! ā€

"I have not been changed by humans, if Lord Nuwa wants me to kill Guiguzi now, I will not hesitate to carry it out, but their lives should not be here, you can't go against the arrangement of the ark."

Dongya hugged her arm, "Okay, I won't attack the Great Wall now, wait until the Eye of Annihilation grows into a complete body before attacking, okay?" ā€

The messenger looked away, "When you say that, I feel guilty......"

"Then I'll wait for the Ark's orders!"

"Okay, then these two, I'll take them."

Dongya smiled and said, "Don't worry, chat with me, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you." ā€

"According to the time of this world, it is only three thousand years, we have been traveling interstellarly, and the time spent has not changed at all!"

"Alas, I just want to know, why did you save the Baili brothers first? Do you like that young man? ā€

"Where do you want to go, he's not a fox, he's a wolf...... I always think of Erha. ā€

"It's a wolf, I thought it was a fox...... Oh, by the way, that swordsman named Li Bai is very powerful, are you interested in him? ā€

"Nope."

"He's also a fox~"

"Huh? He doesn't have the blood of the demon seed in him! ā€

"It's not blood, it's another, I don't know how to say it, anyway, he had a fox in his predecessor." Dongya smiled and said, "So, you go and grab him from the umbrella." ā€

"There's no need, I don't like him."

"Why?"

"The one I love has left, and the one who loves me has not yet come."

"Hmph, that's good (>ω<)!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I've known you for so many years, I would have thought you were ......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"It's time for me to go, goodbye."

"Okay, G, are you going to the Wall?"

"Hmm."

"And after that?"

"Let's go to the Land of Origin, I want to introduce the Twelve Ruins to Guiguzi."

"Oh, you'd better not go back to the Hanging Capital, where the illegally invaded creatures of the half-world are being expelled."

"Okay, Y."

Beyond the black clouds, above the rocks.

"Why haven't you come back?" Mulan was a little worried.

"I'll be here in a while, don't worry."

At that moment, the space not far from them fluctuated, and the messenger walked out, and she snapped her fingers, and Armor and Luna lay beside the Baili brothers.

The messenger looked at the broken heavy sword he pulled out of the ruins, sighed, and said to Mulan, "I'm sorry, I'll repair your weapons, I read your data before, but I can't teleport back, I can only go back on foot, but many places on the way have been unlocked...... What a hassle! ā€

Mulan was stunned for a moment and repeated, "Read our ...... Book...... Rule? ā€

The messenger wanted to hide it, but he couldn't laugh, he just shook his head with a cold face, "Ah, it's nothing, ignore it, let's go quickly!" ā€

Seeing the emissary's behavior through the Eye of Insight, Dong Ya snorted very unpleasantly, "G...... You have been changed by humans. ā€
