Chapter 2: Doutian
Donghua Continent, the human race dwells in the world, the land is vast, since the establishment of the Meihui order, the Five Nations Alliance dominates the Quartet, the glory of the eternal years, the north resists the Youguo, the eight major sects of the righteous path guard the people, the righteous way, the outer defense of the northern Xueer's monsters, and the inner peace of the evil demons.
The Dian Kingdom is located in the south of the Donghua Continent, the 8,000-mile Yunnan River surrounds the country, becoming the best natural danger of the Dian Kingdom, the mountains and forests one after another, the criss-crossing runoff and the states and counties that rise from the ground, constitute a pair of beautiful mountains and rivers.
It is August 15 of another year, and the Central Plains people are commonly known as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the Dian Kingdom, it is the most important national sacrifice of the year - the Moon God Festival.
Eight thousand miles of the Yunnan River sparkling under the starry night.
A huge river boat like a wild beast to the water area of Jing'an, the king of Yunnan, on the lanterns and two big flags, one side is embroidered with the dragon soaring for nine days, and the other side is embroidered with the bright moon and the lonely moon.
Half of the huge hull is hidden in the deep and wide river water, and the boat is the thirteenth floor of the Jinlou Immortal Pavilion, and the eaves washed by the moonlight are like the horns of a unicorn.
The shore is brightly lit, and the stars and moon on the sea are intertwined, and a light engulfs some of the inky darkness.
The bustling Dian people stood in the lights on the shore, looking at the big thing on the sea, with sincere and pious expressions, like saints.
This first river boat in the Donghua Continent actually came here today, and the dragon flag and the moon flag hung on the bow of the ship, but I am afraid that the identity of the person on the ship in the Dian Kingdom is not simple, or maybe it is the new emperor of the Dian Kingdom?
However, just when everyone's attention was focused on the big ship on the sea, the silver-dusty moonlight went straight to the bottom of the river through the mirror-like surface of the river.
At the bottom of the river, there are people.
In the endless cold, I don't know what kind of monster is trapped in chains?
The monster listened to the bustle on the river, looked up at the distant Lonely Moon, and sighed heavily.
It is the moon god sacrifice again, when the Dian country is blessed by the moon god, the entire people of the Dian country will be reunited, and he is the only one, homeless, and lonely sitting at the bottom of the river.
I don't know, in late autumn, are the laurels blooming all over Aoi Yue Peak and Yaotai Peak?
The bottom of the river was a little cold, and the monster at this time suddenly wanted to eat an authentic hot pot.
At this moment, the exhaustion of countless magic weapons rose from all directions, heading straight for the Yunnan Kingdom, embellishing the originally silent night sky with a little color.
The people on the shore of the Jing'an waters of the Yunnan River looked at the colorful colors in the sky, and their expressions became more and more respectful, and they were actually disciples of the Eight Great Sects.
When did the Moon God Sacrifice of the Dian Kingdom actually lead the Donghua Continent to act like this?
Although the people on the shore are puzzled, they always feel honored.
Then, countless sword lights, sword lights, and spears broke out from the seven peaks of the moon worship, and in the blink of an eye, they came to both sides of the Jing'an waters, and the disciples of the seven main altars of the Moon Worship Sect came one after another.
The people on both sides of the strait who watched the sacrifice praised the immortal master and fell to the ground.
Cultivators, beyond the red dust are immortals.
However, the disciples of the Seven Great Altars didn't pay attention to these people, because their attention was still worshipping the Seven Peaks of the Moon.
Immediately afterward, a sword light came out from the Seven Peaks of Moon Worship with wind and snow, and the incomparably dazzling ice color instantly engulfed a large area of darkness.
The knife mang came quickly towards the Jing'an waters, but in the blink of an eye, he came to the sky above the riverboat, and the whole river suddenly became cold, and the wind and snow suddenly rose, like winter.
The bodies of the people who fell to the ground trembled slightly, and the bodies of the disciples of the Seven Great Altars of the Moon Worship Sect also trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of excitement.
It was the High Priest of the Moon Worship Sect and one of the very few half-step Heaven Inheritance Realm powerhouses in the Donghua Continent, the Ice Emperor.
The sword flickered in the wind and snow, and the Ice Emperor never appeared, as if waiting for something.
A sword light fell on both sides, the crowd moved slightly, and the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect were slightly surprised when they looked at the sword light.
The sword light dissipated, revealing a young girl, with black hair hanging down her waist, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and childishness, if she laughed, she should be very playful. But she didn't, her face was expressionless, her slender eyelashes unblinking, like a portrait rather than a real person.
"Senior sister. β
"Senior Sister Feng. β
The disciples of the Lunatic Cult gathered around the girl, their faces full of admiration and love.
The girl called Senior Sister Feng is only twelve or thirteen years old, obviously younger than her peers, but for some reason she is called Senior Sister. When she ordered everyone to be cautious when major matters were imminent, she did not encounter any doubts, and her prestige was quite high.
"A few days ago, Hui Ye Peak issued a ban of 30,000 li, and I don't know what big things the sect is going to do. β
"It's okay for us here, I heard that even the senior brothers of Scarlet Moon Peak went to Jiuhe to suppress the demons, and the sword light illuminated Hezhou. β
"What is that? The night before yesterday, the three major Dharma Protectors suddenly woke up at the same time, and half of the starlight in the sky was eaten by them!"
As the wind and snow on the river bank became heavier and heavier, the disciples couldn't help but be bored and lonely, and talked excitedly, Senior Sister Feng didn't speak, looking at the night where the light of those magic weapons could not shine, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
There are seven peaks to worship the moon, hidden in the clouds and mist all the year round, and it is said that the peak can reach out to hold the moon, and raise the hand to pick the stars.
Kabaya Peak is the main altar and the residence of the sect leader.
The Scarlet Moon Peak is the second peak, and the strongest young disciples of the Moon Worship Sect all practice here.
When the Lunatic Cult encounters a real event, it activates the Moon Soul Array and issues a ban on the entire continent.
ββIt is forbidden to enter and leave at will for many miles inside and outside the Lunatic Worship Sect, and those who are not invited will be killed.
The longer the distance of the ban, the more serious the matter.
Back then, before Shangyun Zhenren went mad and fell into the demon and closed the death pass, the Lunatic Cult once issued an eight-thousand-mile ban, shocking the world.
The ban covers the entire Dian Kingdom, which is equal to one-fifth of the Donghua Mainland.
In order to cooperate with the ban of the Lunatic Cult, Xuan Guo said that the four kingdoms of Beiliang, Dongyue, and Xishu sent tens of thousands of troops north overnight to deter the Northern Youguo and those great demons born from eating snow.
Now that the Lunatic Cult has actually issued a ban of 30,000 miles, an area equivalent to covering most of the Donghua Continent, what kind of big thing is going to happen?
Senior Sister Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, because the night she had been staring at suddenly became brighter.
The stars and moon were shining, the clouds and mist were gradually dissipating, and the peaks in the distance loomed, like countless giant swords aimed at the sky.
The starlight and moonlight sprinkled on these immature faces were full of admiration.
If you are facing a great enemy and are banned, it is because today the Lunatic Cult is about to usher in the most important event in the millennium.
Uncle Shi is about to soar.
......
......
River bottom.
The monster under the heavy chains felt what was happening in the outside world, and it was quite emotional.
At this time, a dog came out of nowhere.
To be precise, the dog is not so much like a dog.
Its hair is very short, but it is black and shiny, and its body is skinny, but its limbs are extremely long, which is extremely incongruous, faintly revealing a trace of weirdness, and what is even more strange is that it has a pair of huge wings on its back, and those wings are also black and bright, if you don't look closely, it is extremely difficult to find in this dark space.
Those eyes, in the dark, were not the same as canines, and the light emitted was as blue and cold as ice and snow.
The monster didn't seem to notice the arrival of the strange dog, and still looked up at the world beyond the river.
"He's leaving. β
The monster's voice was full of parting sadness.
A trace of disdain flashed in the strange dog's eyes, which seemed to say: As an enemy, shouldn't you be very happy that he is gone?
The monster sighed again: "I'm going to go too." β
The strange dog's flickering cold eyes suddenly flashed with irrepressible surprise: This is the depths of the Taiyin, even if you want to soar now, you can't get out, where can you go?
The monster said, "But I don't want to just leave." β
The strange dog was puzzled: What do you want? Where can you go?
The corners of the monster's lips lifted slightly, and wisps of crimson flames suddenly floated around its body, and those flames were extremely enchanting, as if as long as people looked at it, they would lose their minds and sink into it.
The strange dog looked at the monster and was terrified: Are you crazy?
At this moment, those originally plain chains suddenly burst out with brilliant golden light, and ancient and obscure seals floated out of the golden light, and those seals were rapidly suppressing the crimson flames.
The chains swam around the monster at high speed, like dragons at the bottom of a river.
Those seals also danced with the dragon, carrying the yin wind at the bottom of the river and the terrifying crimson flames.
As the golden light continued to suppress and the chains swam, the monster's face suddenly appeared hideous and painful, and he let out a clear laugh, and the laughter was like a thunderstorm in the nine heavens, directly from the bottom of the river to the outside world.
The strange dog's expression was even more frightened, and he couldn't help but keep retreating, as if he wanted to escape from this madman.
There was a clear laughter from the bottom of the river, which resounded for nine days.
The ordinary people on both sides of the strait were even more frightened, wondering which immortal was laughing, and the laughter was so pleasant.
And those disciples of the Moon Worship Sect and the Eight Great Sects were thinking at this time, which great power could laugh, and if the laughter could be spread so high, what kind of terrifying realm would it have to reach?
The sword in the wind and snow flashed with a hint of sharpness, as if a pair of cold eyes opened in it, and the far-reaching gaze went straight to the bottom of the river.
At this moment, the disciples of the Eight Great Sects moved one after another, saluted the sword in the wind and snow, and then rushed towards the Seven Peaks of Moon Worship.
The Chenyue Great Array opened a gap, and the laurel flowers floated out with the wind.
The disciples of the Eight Great Sects drove their magic weapons one after another, passing through the laurel flowers in the night wind in the high sky, and entering the Seven Peaks of Chenyue through the gap in the Great Array.
Then, there were more than ten magic weapons in the sky with unique fluorescence filling the sky, and finally a huge lotus seat crossed the sky, and the meditation breath fluttered, which was even higher than the sky.
"Could it be that is the old lady of Yunlu Immortal Sect?"
"Kunlun Sect Master!"
"Elder Taisu, who is too empty!"
"A sword cold light sixteen states, the sword qi shoots bullfighting, could it be that person?"
"The senior brothers of Scarlet Moon Peak are back, and the second elder of Xinglan Peak is also back. β
"Yiye Lanzhou is actually here too?"
The disciples of the Lunatic Worship Sect were shocked beyond words, if it weren't for today's event, how could they have seen so many big people.
The girl known as Senior Sister Feng ignored these things, she came to a nearby cliff, and looked at the peak with some mixed emotions.
Uncle Shi's ancestors are extremely high, and he is a real disciple of Shangyun, even the current sect leader must respectfully call him a little uncle.
It is said that this Master Uncle Ancestor's talent is extremely amazing, and he has created countless unimaginable records in the cultivation world, but he has been meditating in Kwaiyue Peak all year round, and he rarely sees outsiders, and few of the big disciples of the Seven Great Altars have seen the true face of this Master Uncle Ancestor, let alone her.
Today, not only the heads of the major sects have arrived, but many high-ranking people who live in seclusion have also come.
She didn't expect that even the legendary Buddhist saint Zen would come.
I heard that in the depths of the clouds, there may be hidden powers from other continents.
Sure enough, it is a grand event that has not been seen for thousands of years.
However, why didn't Shangyun Zhenren, who is the uncle and elder brother, not appear?
Seven hundred years ago, Shangyun Zhenren went mad and fell into the demon and closed the death pass, and then Tu Xin, the second disciple of Shangyun Zhenren, announced that he would take over the position of the sect leader and move to Huiye Peak.
The high priest is cold by nature and strict in his life, and what kind of fear and uneasiness are behind the laughter that he just heard from the bottom of the river reveal such radical emotions?
Looking at the entire Donghua Continent, how many people can make the high priest uneasy and afraid?
It's just a very short period of time, she has thought a lot, these seemingly unrelated thoughts, but faintly and reveal some kind of wonderful connection, as the state religion of the Dian Kingdom, the first major cultivation sect of the Southwest Moon Worship Sect, how many secrets are hidden?
What if that sword qi came from the Sword Saint, the Sword God?
The girl's mood was a little dazed.
Those names were too far away from her.
The mountain was farther away from her, but it was also closer.
Concern is chaotic, and for some reason there is a faint trace of uneasiness in her heart.
So, she looked at the lonely peak and began to pray silently.
I only hope that Uncle Ancestor can ascend smoothly, after all, she is the only closed disciple named by Uncle Ancestor in this life!
At this time, all the powers who were qualified to look at that lonely peak were looking over there at this time.
The clouds and mist between the peaks seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, and they rolled violently, flowing towards the four fields, gradually revealing the sky above the Lunatic Cultβa deep blue, a few starlights, and a lonely moon.
A few blurred lights and shadows in the depths of the clouds were forced to appear, and they seemed to be calm, but in fact they were quite embarrassed.
Farther away, two black shadows glowing with cold flames told them to retreat, looking embarrassed.
The girl called Senior Sister Feng could guess that one of them should be the ghost master of the Hidden Kingdom, and who was the other person?
The Moon Soul Great Array did not attack, and laughter sounded from Kabaya Peak, and at the same time, an extremely clear sword intent arose.
That sword intent swept towards the peaks like a wave, stretching for thousands of miles.
A sword light rose from the cliff, as if forced to respond, and floated away.
It wasn't until that sword light withdrew 30,000 miles away and came to the sea of the West Sea that the sword intent from Kaerya Peak gradually subsided.
"The sect leader has drawn his sword!" the girl who was called Senior Sister Feng was slightly startled.
There are only a few people who are qualified to let the Moon Worship Sect take the initiative to use the Taiyin Sword, and there are few in the entire Donghua Continent.
The cold light accompanied by ice and fire in the sea area of the West Sea is the sword of the Sword Master.
