Chapter 203: Slow Progress
Wudang Mountain is located in the hinterland of China, with a radius of 400 miles, high and dangerous, flying clouds and fog, and the majestic place is like a flying dragon walking in the sky; Lingxiu is as beautiful as a jade girl descending to earth, and is known as "the unparalleled victory of eternity, the first immortal mountain in the world".
The scale is grand, the momentum is majestic, the mountains are beautiful, and the scenery is strange.
Since the end of the War of the Gods more than 100 years ago, the five divine beasts of the demon clan at that time were either killed or injured, among which Suzaku was seriously injured, Qinglong and Baihu were slightly injured and went home to recuperate, and the Qilin King, who occupied the Central Plains, was even more seriously injured, leaving his apprentice and son-in-law to inherit the throne.
Only Xuanwu from the northern ice field was unscathed, and with the support of the demon clans, he entered the Central Plains, settled in Wudang Mountain, changed Wudang Mountain to Taiyue, and commanded the demons in the world.
At that time, Xuanwu could be said to have reached the pinnacle of his life, not only the big leader of the Demon Alliance, but also called the 'Zhenwu Emperor' by the demons of the world. It's a pity that Xuanwu is lazy and gentle by nature, and is not diligent in political affairs, believing in the concept of governance by doing nothing, usually either cultivating or sleeping, as a result, in less than twenty years, the demons in the world will govern their own affairs, and establish themselves as kings, although nominally Xuanwu is still the boss of all the demon clans in the world, but only one or two of the people who really obey him are still at his disposal, and the new leaders in many places do not regard Xuanwu as their own boss, but have their own ideas, among which the two saints of the snake and scorpion on the northern grassland and the six beast alliances in the Qilu region are even more self-reliant kings, Although there was no clear opposition to Xuanwu's order, it was also contrary to Yang and Yin, and it did its own thing.
As for the Qilin King entrenched in the Ganxi area, he blatantly disobeyed Xuanwu's orders, the new Qilin King thought that his master and father-in-law was during the War of the Gods, and he would die because of the unfavorable rescue of Xuanwu, so he hated Xuanwu, although Xuanwu also explained, but the new Qilin King did not believe it, and Xuanwu had no choice, plus the old Qilin King was killed in the conflict between the Eastern and Western races, and he had a great contribution to the entire demon clan, and Xuanwu could not do anything to his successor, so he had to let it go, In the end, it caused the current situation of the demon clan being divided.
Fortunately, Xuanwu himself is not greedy for power, he is relatively indifferent and lazy, although he will launch a merciless attack on the enemy when provoked, but he usually doesn't care much about wealth and territorial power. Now he occupies the entire Wudang Mountain, which is the junction of the demon clan and the human race, and the Chu Yunguo in the south does not dare to cross the Huai River to the north, even if he does not have the kung fu to manage the entire north, but most of the demon clans living in the north still maintain respect for Xuanwu.
But said that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the demons gathered, came to Wudang Mountain to congratulate the Zhenwu Emperor on the New Year, the monsters generally learn human culture, accept human etiquette, and still attach great importance to the New Year. On the Taiyue Golden Palace, Xuanwu sits high on the throne and accepts the bowing of the demon clans from all over the world, and the goblins who are qualified to come to the Zhenwu Emperor to pay New Year's greetings are all presented with their own congratulatory gifts, wishing the Zhenwu Emperor a long life and Tianqi, and wishing the entire demon clan prosperity and strength.
After the worship, the demons stood on both sides, first briefly reported the work of the previous year and the changes in the political situation of the various forces in the world, and then Xuanwu began to prepare to announce the grand banquet of the ministers according to the custom.
At this moment, a sheep demon dressed in white stood up and saluted Xuanwu: "Your Majesty, Lord Jiaoduan heard that a new demon sect called the Crossing Gate has appeared in the Xuzhou area in the east, also known as the Time and Space Gate, it is said that the sect is good at refining weapons, and there are a variety of novel magic weapons that are from their hands, including mobile phones, table lamps, movies, etc., which are magical and abnormal, so send their subordinates to inquire about the origin of the other party."
When Xuanwu heard this, he nodded and said, "Oh." I've also heard of this new sect, and according to people who have been there, there are indeed a lot of good things there, and all the people who have seen the movie are full of praise, and I also have a mobile phone as you said, which is very magical and fun, but unfortunately it is not useful for spiritual practice. By the way, did you find anything when you got there?"
The sheep demon gave another salute and said: "Your Majesty, I arrived at Taiping Town at the foot of Fangcun Mountain, and first took the post to visit Wang Zhao, the master of the gate, who passed through the door, but was avoided by the other party, I said that I was the messenger of His Majesty on Wudang Mountain, and I wanted to accept the other party into the Demon Alliance, but I stayed in Taiping Town for a month, and the other party has not given me an answer."
As soon as the sheep demon said this, the irascible demon general next to him jumped out and shouted: "This person who has passed through the door is so rampant, he dares not to take our Taiyue's envoy seriously, it is really bold, could it be that he thinks he is a demon handsome, so he dares not to put the heroes of the world in his eyes?"
"That's it, our majesty is the demon king, even the lord of Chu Yun in the south doesn't dare to ignore us, his little new demon handsome is really sitting in the well and watching the sky, I don't know how much dry food he eats, I will take a few brothers to destroy him when I catch up."
Emperor Zhenwu sat behind the jade case above, his face did not change, and he did not jump like thunder when he heard the words of the sheep demon, but calmly said to the sheep demon: "Well, what happened later?"
The sheep demon said: "Later, my subordinates temporarily lived in Taiping Town, collecting information about the crossing gate while observing the changes in Taiping Town. Found that this Wang Zhao is indeed very capable, just down the mountain to establish a faction less than half a year, the entire territory of the good life and prosperity, now the entire Taiping Town has no hungry corpses, there are no poor people, the people's lives are getting better and better, his sect is gradually becoming stronger, just in the time they came out of the mountain, there are already three demon handsomes who are exposed. Moreover, just a few days ago, Du Tianmen, the head of the Thunder Fire Sect, pursued and killed Lu Yue, a disciple of the Judgment Sect, and had a conflict with Fang Cun Mountain. And later, there was the great sage of Weishan Lake, Zhu Qingming, who came to Taiping Town to seek revenge, and was not defeated by Wang Zhao's magical martial arts. ”
As soon as the sheep demon's words fell, the hall was boiling, and the demons were talking to each other.
"What? He defeated Du Tianmen and Zhu Qingming? It's not easy to call the king of the gate!"
"It seems that this person's origin must be extraordinary, I don't know which ancient beast is the descendant, they appeared at the junction of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, could it be from the sea? Do you have dragon blood?"
"No, Lord Qinglong's only son 'Kang Jinlong' is dead, and only four grandsons occupy Dongying, known as the Dragon King of the Four Seas, but they are still old now, so it shouldn't be them. However, the daughter of Lord Qinglong, the 'Nine Sons and Dragon Mother', I heard that she is good at creating and creating all kinds of creatures, and these demon handsomes may be the new works of the Dragon Mother. ”
"The Dragon Mother already has nine sons, I heard that in the cultivation of the Nine Sons Dragon God Array, there is no effort to create other creatures, I suspect that it is the descendant of the Lord of the Yellow Sea."
A demon clan great sage sighed: "Zhu Qingming, that guy is a dragonfly, known as chasing the wind, has always been extremely fast, it is not difficult to defeat him, but it is not easy to catch him." That Wang Zhao can capture Zhu Qingming, it's not easy!"
A demon handsome next to him disagreed: "Hehe, not necessarily." Although Zhu Qingming is a thief and difficult to catch, he is murderous and aggressive by nature, as long as he is angered, let him attack desperately, and then hit him hard in one fell swoop, it is not difficult to capture him. ”
"Yes, if there is a good magic weapon for trapping people, you can easily defeat Zhu Qingming."
The demons talked a lot, and in the end, Xuanwu got impatient, interrupted the nonsense of the demons, and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, let's listen to Yang Yufeng tell us in detail about what happened."
Emperor Zhenwu opened his mouth, and the demons all shut up, and they all looked at the sheep demon with their eyes, and the sheep demon was called Yang Yufeng, all because he had a gentle temperament and made people feel like a spring breeze when he got along with people, so he was given this name by Xuanwu. He saw that the monsters in the main hall had shut up, and said to Xuanwu with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Wang Zhao and the others are from the sect of the Demon Master, and even have the true inheritance of the Demon Master."
"What? Have you found out about the Demon Master? Why didn't you say it earlier?" When Xuanwu heard this, he couldn't sit still, stood up suddenly, and asked excitedly.
The demons next to him were even more in an uproar, and a bull demon with a big waist and a round waist jumped out and shouted: "Yang Yufeng, you have the news of my father-in-law, why didn't you say it earlier, just say some useless nonsense and grind something, tell me quickly, where is my father-in-law, how is it now?"
Someone next to him then asked, "Yes, how is the demon master now?" Have you asked him why he hasn't shown up for so long, and where has it been for a hundred years?"
For a while, many demon generals in the main hall looked at Yang Yufeng with concern, wanting to know the news of the old foolish fairy, and several demon master-level masters were even more eager to ask Yang Yufeng about the current situation of the old foolish fairy.
Yang Yufeng smiled bitterly: "Everyone, don't be impatient, don't get excited, I didn't say that I met the Demon Master, what I just said is that the Wang Zhao Lilac and others who passed through the door are likely to have something to do with the Demon Master, because I saw the Demon Master's natal magic weapon Three Realms Gourd on Wang Zhao's body, and I also felt a unique aura of the Demon Master on them, so I suspect that they are very likely to be the Demon Master's subordinates or dependents, and may even be the descendants of the Demon Master."
The demons were in an uproar for a while, and soon the bull demon stood up and saluted Xuanwu: "Your Majesty, little demon, I want to ask you for a leave, I want to go to Fangcun Mountain to see with my own eyes the origin of the inheritance of the king calling them, and investigate the whereabouts of my father-in-law, and hope that Your Majesty will approve it."
There were several handsome demon generals next to him who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we are also going too, if we don't personally verify the origin of those people, we will have trouble sleeping."
"Yes, we are also enlightened by the demon master, and his old man has the grace of reinvention for us, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is our father and mother who recreated our reborn parents, and we also have to go and see."
Xuanwu nodded and said, "Okay, I also want to know the whereabouts of the Demon Master, his old man is too important to our entire Demon Clan, and he has also been very kind to me." You must investigate this matter clearly, if you are really lucky to find that the demon master is still alive, you must invite him over, as long as the demon master is here, after thirty years, our demon clan can drive Chu Yunguo to Shu or southern Xinjiang. ”
The demons promised.
Xuanwu said again: "Even if you don't find the Demon Master and find his descendants, you must treat them well, you must invite them to Wudang Mountain, and I will personally entertain them." Speaking of which, when the Qilin King and I fought in the West, we both fought against the Lich King and the God of Light of the Western Terrans, and finally I defeated the Lich King and retreated, and the Qilin King Zhi Gaoyuan was seriously injured in the process of confronting the God of Light, and finally died. I haven't heard from him for nearly a hundred years, which really makes my heart ......"
The more Xuanwu spoke, the deeper his voice became, and finally turned into a sigh: "Alas, in short, you go, I'm here waiting for your news."
The ministers in the palace looked at each other, and they all knew that today's incident caused the king's sadness, when Alexander in the West broke through the spiritual pressure barrier, the west called the element turbulence, came to the east, which caused a conflict between the East and the West, the war lasted for fifty years, countless heroes and heroes and cultivators fell, and even the seven masters of the human race died two, and the five divine beasts of the demon clan also lost the Qilin King, so far the Vermilion Bird did not come out, the green dragon lived in seclusion in the Eastern sea, only the white tiger and Xuanwu were still guarding the Central Plains region and the spiritual pressure barrier, Because the demon clan did not have enough weight to preside over the overall situation at that time, the demons supported Xuanwu as the new demon emperor, which also bought a hidden danger for the division of the demon clan, many demon clans were not convinced by Xuanwu, and Xuanwu himself was a little decadent and depressed for the suspicion of others, which eventually led to the current situation of the demon clan being divided.
The demons had nothing to say about this, so they had to agree in a muffled voice, and let the bull demon handsome take a few demon generals and more than a dozen demon spirits down to Wudang Mountain to find clues to the traces of the old foolish fairy.
said that in modern society at this time, Wei Hua was annoyed by being ignored by the police handling the case, turned around and found Wang Shuwen, and decided to instigate Wenwen to punish these strange people in front of him.
They didn't even take themselves as a cultivator in their eyes, and they looked at themselves with strange and ridiculous eyes, which made me feel so embarrassed.
Wei Hua came to Wang Shuwen's side with a flattering smile on his face, and saw that Wang Shuwen was comforting Xia Shi softly, and Xia Shi was telling Wang Shuwen about what happened in his family during this time, and when he said the sad and sad place, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and bursting into tears.
Wang Shuwen is just fourteen years old this year, although he has also killed people in the other world, but she is still a simple beautiful girl in general, of course, she is angry about what happened to Xia Shi, plus she and Xia Shi are also acquaintances, knowing that she is Lilac's friend, she made a decision in her heart, intending to avenge Xia Shi and Xia Ye.
At this moment, Wei Hua came over and said to Wang Shuwen with a flattering face: "Miss, the little one is useless, those two subordinates who insist on taking away the master of the door don't take me seriously at all, it seems that they don't take us seriously at all."
Wang Shuwen saw that he was yin and yang, and gave him a blank look, and didn't understand what he meant, so he ignored him.
Wei Hua listened to a few words of conversation between Wenwen and Xia Shi on the side, and knew the general situation, seeing that Wang Shuwen frowned and didn't know how to deal with this matter, he took the initiative to lean over and said to Wenwen: "Does the eldest lady want to teach those people a lesson, don't worry, hand it over to me, the little one will definitely make these few gentlemen in a dilemma of life and death."
Wang Shuwen glared at him and said, "Don't make trouble for me, this is not your place, if something happens in public, it won't be able to protect you."
Wei Hua smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, I still have a few ghost face vine seeds on my body, as long as I quietly descend on the person, it will soon be activated under the gestation of the other party's body temperature, and then it will burrow into the other party's flesh and skin, and when the time comes, it will sprout and grow in the other party's body, allow blood to extract sperm, devour the flesh and muscles, and a ghost's head will appear on the other party's skin, hehe, at that time, the other party is not as good as dead, it is simply half-dead, dead and alive, and painful!"
Wang Shuwen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "You have a good idea, how many seeds do you have, is it enough to give those people one seed per person?"
Wei Hua was overjoyed when he saw that Wang Shuwen was interested in his suggestion, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, I not only have the ghost face vine that sucks and devours the other party's flesh, but also the itchy body powder, and even the wilt fungus that plunders the other party's life, which can definitely make the opponent's life worse than death."
Wang Shuwen glanced at him sideways and said, "Why do you have so many weird things on you, it seems that you are not a good person."
Wei Hua was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly: "The eldest lady is wronged!" I'm a wood cultivator, it's normal to have a little self-defense seed on my body, I usually just be kind to others, try not to conflict with others, don't you see that I don't even have a flying sword on me?"
Wang Shuwen glared and said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you really have the ability to teach those people a lesson, hurry up, if things are done beautifully, I will naturally say a few good words to you in front of my uncle, but if you mess things up, then you can think about the consequences."
Of course, Wang Shuwen was scaring him, but Wei Hua's body trembled, and he quickly nodded in agreement, and then quietly approached Li Wanji and the others.
