Chapter 15: The Covenant and the Allure

- Heluo Chang'an.

After being hit by Shangguan Wan'er with a long pen, Gongsun Li's body involuntarily churned in mid-air for more than a dozen times, and slammed into the high wall with a heavy thud.

She heard the sound of bones shattering inside her body, her internal organs bursting and blood gushing out.

At this moment, she couldn't even control a finger after being hit hard, but she still barely supported her head, and raised her eyes to look at Pei Baohu, who was still confronting Di Renjie, the magistrate of Chang'an.

"Tiger ......"

"Ah Liβ€”β€”!" Hearing Ah Li's weak voice behind him, Pei Baohu saw her miserable situation, shouted heartbreakingly, and rushed over regardless of it.

Ah Li's weak fingertips lightly tapped Pei Baohu's shoulder, and smiled intermittently, "Huzi...... Run, get the word out to the chief...... It's still too late to ......."

"No, I can't abandon you, it's my important companion, I'll definitely think of a way!" Even Pei Baohu himself didn't believe this, and Ah Li's eyes were full of despair, they had no way to escape.

In order to deal with today's attack, several famous masters in Chang'an City are waiting for them here.

Pei Baohu gently picked up Ah Li, who had fainted in pain, and whispered, "No matter what the price is, I will definitely send you away." ”

"Stop struggling, neither of you can run." Di Renjie held six tokens in his hand and appeared in front of them, his eyes full of killing intent.

The killers who broke into Daming Palace were actually two people who had met several times at such a young age.

But today they killed countless of his subordinates, and this account is definitely not offset by their deaths.

But at this moment, the situation changed unexpectedly.

"Do you want to save her?"

This voice seemed to sound in his head, and it seemed to come from the sky, and at the same time, a hand that radiated a moonlight light gently placed it on Pei Baohu's shoulder.

"Who are you?" Pei Baohu was shocked, no one had ever been so close to him, but he was not discovered.

"I, ah, am a god who existed in this land before the construction of Chang'an City~"

The owner of that voice appeared leisurely in front of him, his clothes fluttering, just between him and Di Renjie.

It was a woman in a long dress woven by moonlight, with a silver-white flying veil, a swaying moonlight skirt, and a head full of silver hair, revealing the color of moonlight all over her body.

Her appearance is beyond the imagination of the world for beauty, and the four beauties in the world are inferior to hers.

She smiled slightly at Pei Baohu, like a white lotus blooming in the cold pool.

This is not the posture of human beings, only God.

"Are you...... God?! ”

"I am the god of the ancients, the Moon Envoy Wangshu."

Pei Baohu looked around, this was an extremely strange moment.

After she appeared, everything around her lost its color, and time stood still at this moment, only he and the moon envoy in front of him still retained a piece of color.

"You humans have long forgotten us, and if it weren't for your obsession that moved me, I wouldn't have appeared in front of you. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you here to save us? ”

"No, I'm here to make a pact with you."

"What contract?"

"Master-servant contract, I need a sword-wielder."

"If you make a contract, will you be able to get us out?"

"Then it depends on your answer, whether you can satisfy me......" The corner of the Moon Imperial Envoy's mouth hooked a smile, squinted his eyes and nodded to Ah Li's forehead in his arms, "Na, do you love her?" ”

Pei Baohu was stunned for a moment, facing the choice of life and death, he no longer hesitated at this moment, "Yes, I like Ah Li, she is also my companion and family." ”

"It's a pity that she's dying, make a pact with me, and I seal her time."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ At what cost? ”

"Honor me as an eternal god, and, go to the Great Wall, and convey a word to someone on my behalf."

Pei Baohu asked, "It's so simple?" But can I trust you? ”

"I can stand still in this moment without hurting you, don't you think?"

Pei Baohu stared at her, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he said, "Okay, I am willing to conclude a contract with you." ”

- Watchtower on the banks of the Great Wall.

Zimang changed into a soldier's costume and followed Li Xin as a personal soldier, and Li Bai did not know where to go, but left a sentence before setting off to conquer the Land of Origin.

"Why did he go to conquer the Land of Origin?" On the night of the watchtower vigil, Zimang asked Li Xin.

"His swordsmanship has conquered this continent, and he has never been to the place of origin."

"But the Land of Origin is dangerous, he's just a mortal, alone, and he'll be hurt."

Li Xin thought for a moment, and then asked, "Qinglian Sword Immortal, he has always been like that, what do you think he will do to me if he knows my identity?" ”

"Hmm...... Maybe it will become an alliance? I don't know if it's my delusion, I feel as if he hates Heluo very much? Zimang thought about it, and all he had seen was a few words.

Li Xin looked at the hill in the distance and whispered in the desert wind, "Well, his hometown of Loulan was destroyed under the iron hooves of the Heluo army, and it is said that the princess of Loulan also committed suicide after being humiliated. ”

"The Hatred of the Destruction of the Country...... He is so strong, why didn't he kill the empress to take revenge? ”

"If you lose the rule of the empress, Heluo will fall into a war, he loves this mountain and river, so he won't do that, and besides, how easy is it to overthrow the regime?" Li Xin analyzed, I don't know if the latter sentence is said to Zimang or to himself.

Zimang thought for a moment and asked, "If you have a miracle, it will be easy, right?" ”

"Miracles are not so easy to come by, I don't have the energy to control them right now, and besides, God has the power to subvert a country, but it can't make a country prosper...... The war-torn Heluo is not the world I want. ”

"As an emperor, it's really hard."

Li Xin glanced at him, "Don't you have any good suggestions?" After living for so many years, whether it is for the sake of the general, you must at least show some ability! ”

Zimang said, "The abilities of phoenix birds are different, and my ability is not to fight and strategize, but to launch an attack similar to that of heavenly damnation. ”

"Oh?"

"A thousand years ago, the gods who rebelled against the gods were almost killed by the Yuan Qi Cannon, and later, this weapon was sealed forever in an unknown place."

"And then?"

"I belong to that kind of weapon, the only weapon you can handle."

"So, not only are you not a human and a god, nor a demon seed, but a weapon that is no different from my hand?"

"Almost, at least, I'm a weapon with human appearance and intelligence, as well as human feelings!"

"How do I motivate you?"

"As long as you give the order."

"Then I now give you the order to destroy the demon god you are talking about, can you do it?"

"Yes, but it needs to be recharged."

"Huh?"

"I need to absorb the power of the Demon Dao on a large scale before I can release the curse."

"I don't feel like it's ...... use"

"I'm very useful, in addition to chatting with you, I can also turn into a phoenix bird and take you to fly!"

"Then you can change one and show me."

"But this place is too small to stand."

"......" At this moment, Li Xin felt that he had chosen the wrong person.

β€”β€”The Great Wall, Thousand Caves City.

Before the earthquake, Garo was on her way to Thousand Caves City, and she only needed to climb one more mountain before she could see Thousand Caves City.

On the hill beside her, several teams of demon seeds once again ran in the direction of Thousand Cave City, and this scene reminded her of what happened a few years ago.

"In the current Thousand Caves City, there is nothing that can make you wreak havoc......" Garo couldn't help but laugh at himself.

When she crossed the hill, she realized that there was no one waiting.

The petal scale flowers flying in the sky, the mountains with the color of dawn, are all under the eye little by little.

She smiled a little and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Finally, it's back!"

Leading the white horse and walking on the dilapidated corridor of the Thousand Caves City, Jia Luo recalled the glorious scenes of the past little by little.

In just a few years, the Thousand Caves City has been dilapidated like this.

The demon seed must be cleared! She thought hatefully.

She sat on the steps of the library in the Thousand Caves City all night, looking at the stars all night, and kept recalling what her father had said to her:

"When our children and grandchildren want to know our history, what they don't get is not an empty name, but countless inventions and glories."

"What they see is a wonderful civilization, and this is eternal life!"

"Civilization is born from books, and civilization is eternal."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Jia Luo looked at the bright moon that seemed to be connected to the desert, and muttered, "Father, I still haven't been able to find out what the artificially created demon seed came to Thousand Caves City for?" ”

Please guide me again, Father!

Soon, it was already dawn.

Jiang Long opened his eyes and saw at a glance that a black cloud had condensed in the sky, and the black cloud showed no signs of expanding, but it was constantly absorbing the power of the Demon Dao, this phenomenon was very abnormal.

Is this your guide? Father.

Standing on the corridor of Proverbs, Garo glanced at the ruined library again, and played the Qiang flute.

After a song, she turned on her horse and hurried towards the place where the black clouds had gathered.

She stood on the last hill, and when she turned back, she was horrified to find that the Thousand Caves City had been split and sunk into the ground with the roar of the earth.

β€œοΌβ€ If she hadn't left in the morning, she would have been buried in the city by now.

She rode away and met Su Lie shortly after.

But she didn't know that a cloud of white light was condensing in the sky above the city, and that soft light attracted the demon seeds hiding near the Thousand Cave City, and also attracted the Ark Council, which was observing all the changes on the continent.

An important part of the power of miracles, the power of faith in civilization, was born in Thousand Caves City!

"Tell the messenger G who is nearby about the birth of the power of faith, and ask her to retrieve it."

"Yes, Commander!"

β€”β€”Jade City on the banks of the Great Wall.

Due to the influence of the black storm, Mulan and the others went in the wrong direction, and they deviated from their original trajectory along the way and came to the vicinity of Jade City.

On the way, they met Garo and Su Lie.

Not long ago, the Great Wall had just recaptured the Jade City, which was still being rebuilt, and the evacuation of the guards and the slackening of the garrison were a good time for the horse thieves to attack.

When Mulan and the others arrived, they happened to run into the largest gang of horse thieves in the desert.

The people who led this gang of horse thieves were the descendants of the royal family that had fallen in Jinting City, and now Jinting City was overturned by the earthquake and could not go back, so they set their sights on the Jade City that was being rebuilt.

A long army of horse thieves walked along the avenue of the hills, led by a young man dressed in military uniform, with a weather-beaten face and vicissitudes of life that did not correspond to his age.

"It's them again." Mulan, who was hiding behind the hill, said very unpleasantly.

"What's wrong?" The messenger asked.

"That guy is a side branch of the royal family of Jinting City, now that Jinting City has been destroyed, the royal family is almost completely wiped out, only he still rules the remaining people, and now, he is still trying to stretch out his hand to the Jade City under the protection of the Great Wall, which is really hateful."

The messenger looked at him deeply and said, "I see...... He and King Lanling are the same! ”

"Huh? True, but they are not the same. ”

"Huh? What's the difference? ”

"That man's name is Tust, and his greatest combat characteristic is to fuse his captives with the demon seed and transform them into monsters to attack the merchants."

"I won't hurt the people of the desert."

Hua Mulan and King Lanling said one after another.

"Oh~" The messenger suddenly realized, and asked, "How long are we going to hide here?" ”

Hua Mulan made a silent gesture, "Wait, there are so many of them, we can't beat them at all." ”

King Lanling suddenly asked, "Aren't you curious, why didn't there be an earthquake in Yucheng?" ”

"yes, why?" Mulan asked.

The ...... envoy looked at the several pairs of eyes staring at her, sighed faintly in his heart, and lowered his voice and said, "Because there are things that the demon god needs under the underground of Jade City, it will not do it until it reshapes its human form." ”

"I see, by the way, the last time you said that the demon god reshaped the human form, how much time is left?"

"It took seven days to get here, and it's almost five days before it becomes human, you should return to the Great Wall as soon as possible, my teleportation instructions are ready, it's up to you to choose." The messenger looked at them and waited for their choice.

Mulan said, "Naturally, I will return to the Great Wall, but what about Jade City? Without reinforcements, we can't do it alone......"

Kai, who had been silent, suddenly said, "If you have gains, you will have to lose, maybe before he captures Jade City, the demon god has already descended here." ”

King Lanling said, "When the time comes, more people will die!" ”

The messenger asked, "Won't it be enough to let them evacuate?" ”

Hua Mulan was embarrassed and said, "I am only a member of the Great Wall Guard, and I can't make decisions without orders from my superiors. ”

Su Lie said, "Outside, the king's order is not affected." ”

"If we're wrong......" Shoujo asked.

"Let's take it together!" Xuan Ce said.

The messenger of "......" looked at them, opened his mouth, did not say what was in his heart, turned away, and put his hand on the pergola to look at the black clouds in the sky.

It's too late!

Sure enough, before the messenger could tell Mulan and the others, a deafening roar had already sounded, accompanied by the screams of the horse thieves, and it reached the ears of Mulan and the others.

The group quickly crossed the hill, and the tall jade city not far away was gradually tilting and collapsing.

In the sky above the city, in a golden light, transparent humanoids stood in the wind.

The overwhelming force of gravity reduced the entire city to rubble, and the surrounding creatures were dragged underground and suffocated to death.

Jade City has already been destroyed by the Demon God, and now it's just a decoy.

This scene was not expected by the messengers.

No one expected that the Son of the Earth, who was sealed under the Tower of the Sun by Nuwa, would escape and come to the Jade City, not hesitating to kill all the creatures in the vicinity and reshape his human body.

"What's going on?" Mulan said in a trembling voice.

They didn't expect that the compatriots of the Great Wall Guardian Army, who were still talking and laughing with them a few months ago, and told them that there would be a period in the future, would be killed by the demon seed like this.

"Why, there are demon gods here, too?" The armor drew its blade and placed it on the messenger's neck, questioning her in a loud voice.

The "......" messenger lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly.

"Isn't it...... Your conspiracy? ”

The ...... messenger remained silent, as if acquiescing to their speculation.

"Answer us!" Mulan raised her voice and woke her up.

The messenger looked up suddenly, and Mulan retreated in surprise, and everyone saw that blood and tears flowed from her eyes.

The messenger raised his hand to wipe the blood and tears from the corners of his eyes, and whispered, "...... I'm not a prophet, I'm just an adventurer from the North......"

"......" Everyone was speechless, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

They stood outside the range of gravity, looking at the gradually broken jade city, and their hearts were mixed.

After a long time, Garo asked, "Can we defeat the Demon God?" ”

Without waiting for the messenger to answer, the armor had already said the answer, "Hitting a stone with an egg is beyond your strength." ”

Shou Yu hugged Xuan Ce and asked, "Sister Mulan, what should we do now?" ”

Mulan said, "Go back, go back to the Great Wall!" ”

"I'll send you back." The messenger said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why? Mulan was shocked, she didn't have a good attitude towards her just now, why did she help them?

"You are, heroes!" As if seeing what they were thinking, the envoy turned around and opened the teleportation array.

The moment she turned around, Mulan saw her hook her lips and smiled, as if it was an illusion.

"Let's go back to the Great Wall, where are you going?"

"I'll pick up Guiguzi and Mengqi, and you'll meet again."

Hua Mulan and the others left one by one through the teleportation array, and when Shou Yu passed by her, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, and only said to take care.

When all of them had left, the messenger said to the king of Lanling in the shade of the tree, "Do you want me to send you back to your men?" ”

King Lanling frowned and asked tentatively, "Teleportation array or fly over?" ”

The messenger asked, "Which one do you want?" ”

"It's still the teleportation array, please." You can't stand the desert wind when you fly over.

"You're welcome, King." The messenger opened the teleportation array again and admonished, "This teleportation array leads to the place where I first met you, and my companion is nearby, and I will go with you." ”

"Okay, but what do you mean by calling me 'king'? ”

The messenger looked at him, expressionless, like an emotionless killer, "I don't mean anything else, it's just an honorific title, you...... A king indeed! ”

- Desert in the Clouds, Black Clouds.

On top of the dead wood, the Eye of Annihilation, who had turned into a human form, was draped in a tattered gray robe, and in Dongya's extremely disgusted eyes, took her spare clothes.

After changing into a white robe, Luo Lu straightened his messy long hair, threw the floating gray robe around him into the wind, and quickly annihilated.

"Tsk, this cloak of yours has been used for three thousand years, and it was ruined like this?"

"You can wear one dress for three thousand years?"
