Chapter 10: The Court of the Bitter Gatherers (5)
The white torrent rolled into the clouds and burst into flames in the purple lightning sky! The sound mixed with thunder almost shattered the mountains!
Unstoppable, the "Deep Snow Wanderer" has already struck! The slender and charming snow-colored figure is still disguised as weak, dancing gracefully in the snowstorm and the power grid!
"Oops, Wang Zhen's seniors are not in good shape!" Ivan exclaimed, "Harden!"
“...... Damn, this passerby I substituted for has no talent for dark magic! I'm annoyed that I didn't bring a big mouth monster Dimon, I can't help it!" With the violent snow vortex in his eyes, Harden looked unwilling, "It's obviously such a fierce opponent worth challenging......"
"You can only honestly watch history repeat itself, this is the role of the 'Court of Grievances'......" Cedar whispered, beside him, He Yanfang stepped forward!
"Thunder and lightning beckon!" He Yanfang struck out a thunder talisman, and the power grid scorched and extended!
The electric claw that rushed towards Wang Zhen was immediately controlled by Wang Zhen and counterattacked towards Shen Xue Rou! Wang Zhen glanced at He Yanfang gratefully and bitterly, but that wry smile was also reflected in Shen Xue Rou's water-cutting autumn pupils.
No longer pretending to be panicked in the raging snow tide, Deep Snow's delicate face showed a meaningful sneer, and Petra, who had joined the battle, had seen the evil and beautiful cherry lips.
(What a terrible woman...... His whole body stiffened from the woman's "panic" aura, but he still tried his best to release his magic power, causing the rocks to turn into countless sharp claws and feint towards Wang Zhen from all directions, disrupting the wild dance trajectory of the Snow Dragon!
The whistling snow tide crashed and shattered on the rocks, and the huge impact force made Petra's whole body be invaded by extreme deep cold! He tried his best to smile at the deep snow soft who was pretending to be worried: "I'm ashamed to hinder my predecessors......"
Shen Xuerou smiled softly: "It's okay, the army has arrived." ”
Petra was startled, and when she turned around quickly, she saw the magic soldiers all over the slope, and then she felt the surging pressure!
(I didn't even notice it until then...... Am I too weak?) He thought to himself in frustration, and looked at the upper Bai Ze Mingyin, who was high up and holding Wang Zhen's subordinates-
"Xun, seal!" tossed a scroll into the air, and there was only unshakable determination in Mingyin's beautiful eyes!
The scroll burst into white smoke, revealing a smoke-like monster wrapped around the seal tape!
One of the monsters of the Mingyin Servant - the monster of the wind "Tatsune"!
He Yanfang and Shen Xuerou turned their heads to look up at the wind monster, and at the same time, the same movement was different from the grim and smiling expressions.
Without hesitation at all, the "Xun Evil" swooped straight to the center of the snowstorm!
"Peijun, defend!" He Yanfang's hurried voice woke Petra awake, and the barrier of the rock was quickly generated, with ink-like runes attached, which could resist the wind knife that cut through the cliff like mud!
Sensing that the limelight had passed, Petra carefully and quickly untied the rock wall, just in time to see the deep snow gently spinning the umbrella to unload the wind, and then retracting the umbrella beautifully to watch the battle!
"How's that good?" he muttered to himself in horror, staring nervously at the Wind Demon!
Rolled up in the snow, the demon of the wind swooped down, shaking up a terrible white tide!
"It's so ruthless, Mingyin ......" He Yanfang smiled bitterly, but there was no worry in his expression-
“...... Shi Haoxiu?!" Mingyin's expression was obviously shaken: there was no change in the demonic aura in the audience, but now it was the "Lost God Forbidden Son" Shi Haoxiu who appeared at some point with a stone spear to block the Wind Demon!
"When......" Petra stared in amazement at the sneering strange boy, unable to comprehend the course of events.
"Shang Bai Ze really acted simply, but it's a pity that his blood was used in the wrong place. Squinting her eyes, Ha Xiu pointed the stone spear at Shen Xue Rou, "You actually believe such a poisonous woman with a honey-bellied sword?"
Deep Snow Rou Ma blushed, and big tears rolled down: "Shi Haoxiu...... Why do you slander me?"
The cold breath is surging, the deep snow is soft and the Shang Wu is palming at the same time, and the clouds and mist between the slender fingers emerge!
"Water vapor explosion! Defend quickly!" Ivan, who had seen the power of Shang Wu during the Storm Ocean Expedition, shouted quickly.
The fierce tongue of fire has rushed up, and the heat wave has swept the whole audience in an instant!
In the center of the explosion, the rocks turned into giant snakes one after another, and they all flew out like a swift figure like a master and apprentice in Shenxuerou!
At this time, Petra couldn't make a move, so they could only watch in a daze as Haoxiu and Shen Xuerou fought between master and apprentice!
Luo Umbrella blocked the tip of the spear, and Shen Xuerou's slender eyelashes were tearful ****, but the cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes had already revealed the arrogance of the "Eighteen Kings of Kyushu"!
She stretched out her mist-wrapped hand—
Shang Wuyan, who was behind Haoxiu, also stretched out his mist-shrouded hand!
Petra was horrified.
"Get up!" said Haoxiu, but she smiled and calmly did not defend herself!
(What?!) Watching the deep snow and the apprentice blow out the ice and snow cold, Petra felt incredible, (not an explosion...... )
The Rock Serpent burst out from below, startling the Deep Snow Rou Master and Apprentice to retreat quickly!
"If you think there will be an explosion and defend against it, you will be surrounded by cold breath and frozen, and then sealed by ice and snow. He Yanfang whispered with a cold expression, "Peijun, always be vigilant, Shen Xuerou is very dangerous!"
"Let's act, Shang Bai Ze!' The 'Kuang Zheng Tuan' Five Demon Kings are basically the cronies of the 'Evil Lord of Cultivation'!" his eyes sharply pressed Shen Xue Rou who retreated, and Hao Xiu shouted sharply.
Shangbai Ze Mingyin looked down at him coldly: "Wang Zhen's brothers are in the hands of our army, you and Wang Zhen will fight or surrender, decide for yourself!"
Laughing disdainfully, Hazy Xiu looked up at Mingyin defiantly: "If we can even crusade against the 'Kuang Zhengtuan' after returning to Shun, Wang Zhen and I will accept it - even Wang Yanwu and the other seven people!"
Even Mingyin couldn't help but be surprised by such negotiation conditions, and Shen Xuerou immediately looked at Mingyin with tears in her eyes: "...... How can the villain's words be trusted......
Mingyin frowned.
"Unraveling the curse ......" Only now did everyone notice Wang Zhen's weakness. Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and looked up at Mingyin, "...... It's the use of Meng Jin's curse...... 'Feast of Suffering'......"
"Exactly. Mingyin was expressionless, "So, you've figured out the situation - tie yourself up or be captured, you have no choice." ”
Hao Xiu laughed: "Sure enough, but just give up the opportunity to ambush half of the evil demon kings, is it really a good strategy? We and the nine kings are the henchmen of your divine army, and their five kings-"
His thin fingers pointed directly at Shen Xuerou: "It's not a true ally of your god army......
"Ridiculous, who do you think will believe your family?" Shen Xue Rou even turned her neck pink, and her beautiful eyes flashed with tears.
"Third brother, don't worry about me, let's go!" Brother Wang Zhen, who was captured, suddenly struggled and shouted, unleashing thunder and lightning in the stone shackles to try to delay time!
But this was an even more fatal mistake - moving around Mingyin, which made Mingyin, who had always been vigilant, reflexively activate the scroll he had prepared in his hand!
The fire monster in the scroll roared out! The flames wrapped around the spell roasted the captives to charred in one fell swoop!
"It's not good......" Even if it is a calm and almost ruthless Mingyin, he also covers his mouth with his hand in a shaken way!
Wang Zhen's heart-rending cry resounded through the valley!
"......" did not hesitate to personally stop Wang Zhen, who was riddled with purple lightning, and Haoxiu glared at Mingyin with an annoyed expression, and then quickly launched the earth shrinking magic array!
Finally, he glanced at Shen Xuerou, who was smiling at the corner of her mouth, and Wang Zhen disappeared, and the remaining roar that resounded through the valley and the electric light that stinged her body and mind slowly dissipated.
A tense silence enveloped the valley.
After a long time, He Yanfang sighed deeply: "Go back." ”
- Camp
Petra wanted to say a few words to He Yanfang, but as soon as she arrived at the camp, Yu Xuan couldn't help but pull He Yanfang away-
(I'm afraid I can't stop my sister's love, right?,Akion Shirasawa ...... Petra smiled bitterly, although he knew that Yu Xuan was looking for He Yanfang for Wang Zhen's matter.
"Peijun, right?" was stunned, but Petra's coquettish voice sounded behind her—
"Deep Snow Wandering Girl", deep snow soft.
"......" Harden, they were powerless trying to stop her.
"It doesn't matter, I want to have a few words with her, too. Petra calmly stopped Harden and them, "Can you find a place to talk about it in detail, Shen Sanniang." ”
——·——
"People gather like words, so concubines will meet and talk secretly with Peijun, right?" smiled lightly beside the gurgling stream, and stared at Petra with beautiful eyes flowing in the deep snow and soft waves.
"I'm not the same character as you. Responding coldly, Petra wanted to see something in her smiling eyes, but only saw the endless softness and long and unclear meaning under the long eyelashes.
"Peijun is a monster. There was no hesitation in her gentle voice, and Shen Xue Rou let out a beautiful laugh like a jade plate.
Petra's heart sank.
"If the concubine can see it, Staff Officer He and Xia Bai Ze must also see through it, Peijun's identity ......" The sheared water autumn pupils reflected Petra's appearance, and the deep snow soft eyes were filled with the cold of late autumn, "Peijun can't win their trust......"
Petra's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he also smiled and looked directly at the woman full of magic in front of him: "Do you want to believe you?"
"If you want to become stronger, you should naturally listen to the concubine's words. Smiling calmly, Shen Xuerou said slowly, "Peijun is an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, as long as he learns something, he can do it, so he doesn't have to listen to the orders of the divine army, and it is ......inevitable to learn from our evil lord."
"I refuse. ”
"Pei Jun doesn't have to rush to refuse. Shen Xuerou's smiling eyes gradually revealed their edge, "The divine army will be destroyed, you shouldn't bury yourself." ”
Petra sneered, "You guys are very confident. ”
With a smile of pity, Shen Xuerou deliberately slowed down her tone to make her words clear: "Do you know what the situation in Middle-earth is? Do you know the current situation of the Divine Army? Do you know the 'Convergence of the Three Religions'?"
"Three Teachings...... Confluence?" Petra, of course, didn't know.
"Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism converge. From the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, this has been a major trend......"
"So what?" Petra interrupted impatiently.
The smile on her lips continued to deepen: "The complementary integration of the three schools of thought will also mean ...... Mythology blends. ”
Petra suddenly understood her implicit meaning: "The gods of Buddha and Tao ......"
"Fuxi Nuwa, the ancient gods, the Buddhas of the West, the beliefs of the West, the Three Qings, the Jade Emperor, and the Four Emperors (Note 1)...... Taoist gods, none of them can fully control Kyushu now, so the divine army is also chaotic, just like today's festival makes each party in charge, (Note 2) The gods are in charge of one side, and it is not easy to deploy...... Without a strong commander, do you think the Divine Army will defeat the evil lord?"
Petra was speechless.
"The gods are still trying to merge, and they can't deal with the evil lord with all their strength until they establish a stable ruling order. They don't have time to care about the strife in the human world, and they—even if they wake up, it's too late!The time of the decisive battle is approaching, and the gods don't have to be afraid!" Shen Xuerou's eyes became extremely fierce—
"Now that the Divine Realm is simply unable to deal with the 'Yan Ying Courtyard' and the 'Kuang Zheng Tuan', the disaster has been brewing for thousands of years, and it is no longer possible to reverse the decline...... Try to see that Kyushu will be the world of evil lords in the future...... Under the whole world, it is not the land of my king!"
"......" didn't know what to say, and Petra was silent.
Soon looked at him gently, and Shen Xuerou smiled: "Peijun, if you want to become stronger, you can make a contract with the right person as a monster...... Delicious, powerful spirits are among us, for example, the 'Ghost Boy ......'"
Petra did shake a bit.
"I'll think about it later. He hastily, even a little fearfully, left Deep Snow's gaze.
Soon, he met He Yanfang.
"Counselor He, I'm good at divination, can you tell me the time and place of your birth?"
(As the son of the Demon King of Doom, the only thing I can be proud of is knowing my fate...... From the cadres of the God Army, you can speculate that their fate ...... )
was very puzzled, but He Yanfang still told him the information.
"Okay......" Petra sat down, uttered a long list of incantations, and then, with her eyes hollow, quickly wrote down the symbols on the paper.
Writing done. He couldn't wait to check the divination—
(In the past, adversity; now, adversity; in the future, adversity, greatness...... )
"How?" He Yanfang looked at him quietly.
Unable to bear to avoid those clear and deep eyes, Petra smiled and whispered: "The prospects are promising, if the staff officer does his best as always, then something will be achieved...... That's, Shimo-Shirasawa—"
Frowning in embarrassment, He Yanfang smiled bitterly and told him anyway.
This time it was also quickly written-
(Past, Ease; Present, Future...... )
Petra froze: nothing was written on the third piece of paper!
(How could it not be written, I just ...... Trying to hide his shock, Petra smiled bitterly, he vaguely understood-
(No...... The future...... )
didn't dare to face He Yanfang, he perfunctorily fled from the eyes of Bai Ze Yuxuan's lover.
"Looks like you're really leaving......" he hurriedly pulled up Harden and the three of them, "Come with me!"
As he passed by the tent of Meng Jin's siblings, he heard Meng Jin's violent coughing and panting.
After thinking about it for a moment, he stepped into the tent.
"The teacher left the Divine Army like this?" Harden felt incredulous, "This is too easy, isn't it?
In this way, with all kinds of entanglements and doubts, he left the right path with the Meng Jin brothers and sisters. The Jindu of life is just a few steps away from a different scenery story. He Yanfang's voice came steadily from behind the three of them.
Feeling unusual, Harden looked back in horror.
He Yanfang looked at them with a solemn face, and slowly approached: "Exit now." Now let's talk about it, why do you break into people's houses at night?"
"This is the real He Yanfang now!" Harden's eyes widened.
"Really, Mr. He?!" Cedar was so frightened that she was about to jump.
Everything around them glowed with blue light, and then gathered into a firefly and returned to the stone tower!
They have finally returned to the Court of Grievances!
Looking at them with a smile, He Yanfang was not angry: "Who will explain?"
"I'm sorry......" Cedar hurriedly apologized.
"What apologies!" Harden interrupted him fiercely, and then looked directly at He Yanfang angrily-
"Are all the stone towers in here sealed with the sorrow and resentment of others? What the hell do you want to do?"
He Yanfang stared at him calmly.
"That's misfortune, that's sorrow, that's endless regret to death! You collect them, you watch them, collect so many misfortunes, sorrows, and many sorrows and pains, such a hobby is absolutely unforgivable!" Although there are reasons to save face, Harden is still angry. His eyes were faintly flashing red, and it was overflowing with reproach!
"Harden!" Cedar feebly tried to stop.
He Yanfang exhaled softly.
"Not a hobby. Faintly spitting out the words, he looked at the three children with sadness in his eyes, "It's a commemoration, collect their remaining traces, I hope to help them carry a little ...... In this courtyard, most of the tower owners have passed away. What I want is to turn their hatred into the strength to move forward...... Indeed, this is also my sin, so I will accept whatever you say......"
"I don't think that's the biggest problem. Ivan's expression was forgiving and understanding, revealing concern.
"Yes, I think the point is-" Cedar looked at He Yanfang, "but, sir, can you stand it?" I know it's not right to judge a weak person like me...... But I can't stand it just by standing in this courtyard, even a strong person like you, guarding these sad memories for years will be eroded, right? ”
He Yanfang was stunned for a moment.
Cedar's eyes were still full of longing when he looked at him: "I will purify their resentment, one day...... If you can get stronger, I'll definitely help you, probably it won't take long...... The day when I could be a general...... Then I'll come to you here and say to you, 'Let me inherit your garden'......"
He Yanfang laughed.
"Hey, it's too beautiful, if we can't achieve it, we'll laugh for the rest of our lives. Harden slapped Cedar hard.
"I probably live a little longer...... "He Yanfang patted them on the shoulder, "Go back and inherit this courtyard...... It's not time yet, but I'll ask you for help. ”
He looked around at the courtyard he had guarded for thousands of years, and for the first time felt relaxed.
"The time to end the millennium of grievances is probably not far off......"
The blue flames of the courtyard trembled, and the remaining thoughts were the same as his, looking forward to the moment that had not yet come.

In addition, there are the Eastern Princes, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, and the Thirty-two Heavenly Emperors.

The festival degree makes the order to give double and double festivals, to be able to kill the military, the line is to build a festival, the house tree six (big flag), the prestige is extremely prosperous. Jiedu makes the collection of military, civilian, and financial three politics in one, and often one person to unify two to three towns, more than four towns, the weight of authority, more than the Wei and Jin dynasties of the festival governor, when called the festival town. So the outside is heavy and the inside is light, and at the end of Tianbao, it caused the Anshi Rebellion. Anshi was in turmoil, and in order to quell the rebellion, the Tang Dynasty also set up festival towns in the mainland.
Therefore, in the text, Shen Xuerou describes the chaotic situation of the divine army, taking the chaotic situation of the division of feudal towns at that time as an example.
