Chapter 365: Celebration in the East City
Walking from the inn to the bustling street, at this moment, there are many people gathered in front of the street, watching the excitement, we have heard that not far ahead, is the center of the east city, where it is said that the ring has been set up, red and purple, both sides are also immense, drums and trumpets continue to sound.
Although the demon race is declining, the general trend is still there, but it is gradually lowering down, and it is not the victory of Middle-earth, but it is a bit ostentatious at the moment.
The three of us immediately walked towards the center, and we could see the red cloth hanging on the ring in front of us, saying that heroes from all walks of life gathered to participate in the celebration of the decline of the demon clan.
At this time, there is an acrobatic team in the ring wearing red clothes playing swords and martial arts on the stage, and they are performing, and it seems that they are doing an after-show.
In the center of the row in front of the ring, there were quite a few seats, and it seemed that the people who could sit on those rows of seats were also people with relatively high cultivation, and some of them, I still recognized at the moment, were Elder Song Qing of the Star Dou Sect and several disciples who came together.
There are also Xu Sheng of the Qingyang faction and his left and right hands Xu Feng and Li Sanguang, they are all sitting in the front seats, and Song Qing and Xu Sheng are sitting closer, and the two seem to be talking.
After a while, a few more people with good cultivation came from behind us, and came to us, and one of them tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Isn't this Li Xingze, Brother Li Tai, since Wudang parted, your life and death have not yet been cleared, I am really happy to see you." ”
I turned my head to see that it was Xuan Feng, and he chuckled and patted me on the shoulder forcefully. On his side was Xuan Feng's senior brother, Elder Xuan Qing.
Xuanqing also nodded heavily when he saw us, and said with a chuckle: "Okay, today is indeed a good thing, and it is not in vain that we have come from afar to see you here." ”
"Xuanqing, the two elders of Xuanfeng, after Wudang said goodbye that day, I heard that all the heroes fought hard against the demon army, defended Wudang, and repelled the demon clan." Hearing this, I responded to them with a fist clenched
"What's the matter, thanks to you attracting those big demon generals that day, we have a chance to turn defeat into victory, but speaking of which, what happened to you after that." Elder Xuanqing looked at the few of us and said
Hearing this, I responded: "This is a long story, after that, we were led to the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountain Range, at the end of a deep valley, by the tricks of the Hercules Ghost King...... Later, I met again, the Death Demon, and the Elephant Demon, the bag of the two of them. ”
"What, even thousands of elephants and demons have appeared...?" Hearing this, Xuan Feng seemed surprised
Seeing this, I responded: "That's true, the situation was extremely bad at that time, and we wanted to get out of trouble, but in the field of vision of several demon generals, it was really difficult at that time. ”
"I actually met thousands of elephant demons, what happened later?" Xuan Feng asked again
So we roughly told the two elders about the attack on the Wudang faction that night, and the fact that we left Wudang and encountered the three demon generals.
After a while, I also roughly told me what happened at that time.
……
"I can't imagine that the Vientiane Demon finally turned out to be demonic and died, the meridians were all broken, I really can't imagine it, he is also self-inflicted, and you are really blessed and fatal, and you have survived the joint attack of those three guys." Xuan Feng sighed
There were also many people in the rivers and lakes on the side, and they heard what we said with the two elders Xuanfeng and Xuanqing about the fierce battle against the three demon generals that night.
Hearing the words are all praise and admiration, it does look like a festival.
In a few moments, on the other side of the street, there was a long queue of eight large sedan chairs in front of them, and when they arrived, a man in an official hat dressed in luxurious gold silk walked out.
The person was about thirty years old, and when he saw that it was very lively, he looked at it, and for a while, the people around him who were blocking the view all retreated to the side, and the person immediately walked forward, and saw that two of them were Xuanqing and Xuanfeng of the Tianmen Sect, so he stepped forward and said: "Several elders of the Tianmen Sect, you are also here, it is really a disappointment, you might as well go to the front row and sit down first, and discuss it slowly later." ”
"It turned out to be the prince, and the poor road has seen the second prince of Middle-earth." Xuanqing Road
Hearing this, the prince nodded, then stretched out his hand to signal Xuanqing not to be polite, and then said: "By the way, these people who are chatting with you, they are all heroes and heroes, Xiao Wang, I can't tell if I am short-sighted." ”
"That's right, it's not that the prince is short-sighted, these are really heroes of the new era, they are all newcomers who met with us at the Fengyun Inn meeting not long ago to discuss the affairs of the demon generals, they are the heroes who rescued nearly a hundred human slaves trapped in the Battle of the Ice Demon King after that, and then destroyed the Ice Demon King, and have since become famous." Xuanqing said
Hearing this, the prince smiled when he heard it: "I see, you are the mysterious person who shook the rivers and lakes not long ago, today Xiao Wang finally saw you, and he came to participate in the celebration held by Xiao Wang, and it is really face-saving, everyone go to the front row and sit down." ”
As he spoke, the prince stretched out his hand and invited us to sit in a row of seats in the front row.
Under the words, it is not easy for us to refuse at the moment, but to nod in agreement.
There is a row of seats in the front row, which are separated from each other by a slight distance, and there is a small table in the middle for the coffee table.
We sat in the front row one after another, and then, the prince also sat in the front row with a smile and a smile, chatting with Daoist Xuanqing and others.
Immediately, they explained in detail to the prince that Wudang was besieged by the demons recently, and also conveyed some of our actions there to the prince.
After hearing that tens of millions of elephant demons have died in Huangquan, so that the life and death of the Hercules ghost king are unknown, or the wilderness of violent corpses, or the vitality is greatly injured, and the dead demons have also been greatly defeated, and now I am afraid that there is no face to be arrogant, this prince is laughing, drank a glass of wine, suddenly stood up, and sent someone: "Quickly bring the box over there." ”
As he spoke, a few soldiers nodded and called for someone to carry the box that had been brought by a long line of dragons.
Then the prince walked in front of a few of us, and said: "A few heroes, your memorabilia, Xiao Wang has heard a little, slashing the Ice Demon King, defeating the big ten million elephant demons, and the two demon generals with the blade, it is really indispensable, the great fortune of the country, Xiao Wang must reward you." ”
Seeing this, I got up from my seat and said, "Lord, don't be polite, these are things that are within our bounds, because of some coincidences, we were able to repel those demon generals. ”
At this time, when the prince saw me get up, he saw my sister Lan Yue on the side, and Ella was about to get up, so he said: "Okay, you all sit, don't bother for Xiao Wang, you are elegant in appearance and temperament, and you are also successful in cultivation, Xiao Wang knows that you will not be moved by a little thin courtesy, this gold five hundred taels does not need to be said, just take it as a little care of Xiao Wang, not enough to worry about, just accept it." It should be regarded as a reward for the people, of course, this is still too little, Xiao Wang does not know that you and other nobles are here today, and then you may as well go to the palace, you must be hospitality. ”
The prince said with a smile
Hearing this, I said, "No, we are actually here mainly to find the whereabouts of the demon Goddess of Diablo, and we didn't know about it in advance." ”
"So that's the case, you still have to look for the demon general, it's really a caring person, in fact, today Xiao Wang summoned you, and there is also a matter to discuss dealing with the demon clan, these I plan to invite all the heroes to the palace later." The prince said
At this time, several soldiers had already carried the black box to us, and when they saw this, the prince said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the rest, let's take the five hundred taels of gold first, it's not enough to worry about." ”
I don't know what to do, it seems that gold is the most valuable thing in the times, but we are not from here, let alone bringing so much, it will only add excess burden to us.
At this time, Elder Xuanqing, seeing that I was entangled, said instead: "Brother Li, I know that you also regard money as something outside the body, and you are a cultivator, with a clean breeze on your sleeves, but this gold and silver can naturally be used for disaster relief and poverty relief, and you don't need to be polite, just accept it." ”
Under the words, the prince also looked at us with a chuckle, and he was so hospitable, so I nodded, meaning to accept it.
At this time, the prince continued: "There will be a celebration banquet here, and there are some fancy performances, and I invite you heroes to talk here to pass the time, as for discussing the matter of dealing with the demon clan, we will do it in private later, today is mainly to revive the majesty of the country, publicize the world, the demon clan has been declining, and its obscenity is not enough to threaten us, and the people can rest assured." ”
After that, we stayed here for the time being to watch the show.
……
Then there are a lot of people from all walks of life to visit here, many sects have come here to gather, it is said that there are secret invitations of the king of Middle-earth in various places, so everyone comes here in the center of the east city. The only one is the Wudang faction, due to the loss of combat power, it is still entering the rebuilding project, and there is no time to participate in this meeting, and the Tianmen faction has been conveyed by Xuanqing and others.
After a day's banquet, on the surface, it was to celebrate the decline of the human race to revitalize the majestic wind demon race, but the important reason for hiding was to discuss the future of dealing with the demon race.
Follow-up to listen to the relevant people in the front row said that the inside story is because the power of the demon clan has been greatly reduced recently, which has attracted the attention of the remaining generals of the demon clan, so they are bound to take action, and it is very likely that because of this, the emperor of Middle-earth ordered to send a large number of masters from all walks of life in the imperial court and rivers and lakes to secretly track the whereabouts of the demon generals to investigate whether the other party has taken action.
Judging from the results of the investigation in the past few days, the demons seem to have begun to move a little differently from the usual, and in this regard, the emperor of Middle-earth is also beginning to worry that the other party is likely to concentrate his forces and further unite, which will inevitably be unfavorable to his own side.
In the past, although the demon clan was prosperous, its power was very dispersed, and many disagreements were disagreed, but they lived in one place, but now it is different.
For this reason, this is another purpose behind this celebration.
