Chapter 36: The Wind Rises
Xia Fan never wanted to become the patron saint of the Asuka Dynasty.
However, Ji Shang didn't ask for his own opinion.
What does that mean?
Was he sure he would agree?
on this.
He couldn't help but want to hehe.
But there was one question he was a little curious about.
Why did Ji Shang claim that he would not be able to stay in the Asuka Dynasty in the future?
Was there something force majeure that caused him to have to leave?
As a Avatar Realm monk.
Looking at the entire Dongmingzhou and even the Qing micro world.
The other party can be called a bigwig-level character.
If the demons and humans go to war in an all-out way, this kind of boss will inevitably participate in higher-level decision-making and battles.
So the other party's departure seems to be a matter of course.
As you can imagine.
The war between demons and humans is bound to be a protracted war.
According to the historical records that Xia Fan had read in his spare time.
The war between demons and humans lasted for nearly three thousand years at most.
And this war is the war in which humanity launches an all-out counteroffensive against the demon horn.
Since war has the longest time, it naturally has the shortest time.
But even the shortest time is 200 years.
In fact, both demons and humans have shown great resilience in the war, after all, it is a matter of survival for each other's races.
Moreover, there are wise men among demons.
Especially after the demon's decline, the frontal battlefield is almost no match for human monks.
So the demons have changed their minds about war.
Without adequate preparation and control, it is resolute not to break out into a large-scale head-to-head confrontation with human monks.
In other words.
These demons have all learned to play guerrilla warfare, and they are also playing thief 6.
It's not just guerrilla warfare, but demons like infiltration warfare are already familiar with it.
If it weren't for the fact that the demons had already disabled the human race, coupled with the lack of population.
Otherwise, with the war wisdom embodied by the demons, the outcome of this race battle is still unknown.
"Husband, are you really not going to leave?"
After Ji Shang left.
Xia Fan is still fishing on the shore of the lake.
But there was not a single fish in the basket beside him.
He didn't catch a fish.
I just didn't catch a big fish that I was satisfied with.
So I just released the fish that I caught but couldn't see it.
I don't know how long it took.
Dong Cailing suddenly came to his side in a hurry.
As for Meng Xihua, who was in charge of protecting her, she waited in the distance with interest.
Dong Cailing didn't disturb Xia Fan, who was fishing quietly, until he successfully caught another silver-white fish about a foot long, that she finally couldn't help but speak.
"Isn't Momoko paraphrased clearly enough?"
Xia Fan looked at the silver-white fish biting the hook with disgust, and casually freed it from the hook and threw it back into the lake.
Where do all the big fish in the lake go?
Didn't he let him fish it all out?
"No, it's just that Cailing wants to confirm it personally from her husband. ”
Dong Cailing looked at Xia Fan with complicated eyes, shook his head and said.
"Don't forget that I am your husband, since you are a wife and you don't want to leave, how can I, as a husband, leave you alone?"
Xia Fan said casually while rebaiting the hook.
“...... Is the husband still angry with Cailing?"
Dong Cailing was silent for a moment, and Silver Fang bit her lip lightly and whispered.
"Angry, why should I be angry with you?"
Xia Fan got up and shook the fishing rod casually.
"Do you think your husband is a narrow-minded person?"
"No, Cailing didn't mean that......"
Dong Cailing hurriedly explained.
"Alright, that's the end of it. ”
Xia Fan waved his hand casually, and then deliberately diverted the topic.
"Anyway, are you so free today?"
"Now everything in the villa is on the right track, and with Ah Chao's assistance, Cailing doesn't have too many priorities to deal with on weekdays. ”
Dong Cailing breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, if you're idle anyway, then accompany me to fish. ”
said.
Xia Fan conjured a low stool and a fishing rod out of thin air.
"Then Cailing is respectful, it is better to obey the fate. ”
Dong Cailing's innocent and lovely little face showed a smile.
She took the fishing rod handed to her by Xia Fan.
Xuan even accompanied Xia Fan to catch fish.
This vast lake is located in the back mountain of Linwu Mountain Villa.
For Dong Cailing, who grew up in the villa, she is no stranger to this lake, and even fishing.
I remember when I was little.
Her father would occasionally take her on a boat fishing trip on the lake.
This afternoon.
Dong Cailing and Xia Fan rarely communicated, after all, they needed to be quiet when fishing, so as not to disturb the fish in the lake.
But the relationship between them has unconsciously eliminated the estrangement.
So much so that when I returned from fishing, I was ready for dinner.
She always had a faint smile on her face.
And the atmosphere at the table is no longer as heavy as ever.
"Huahua, come with me after dinner. ”
Meals every night.
For Xia Fan, who doesn't pay much attention to etiquette.
Ah Chao, Peach, and Meng Xihua all dined at the same table with him and Dong Cailing.
When it's time to finish dinner.
Xia Fan seemed to have thought of something, and said directly towards Meng Xihua, who had a cold expression.
"Yes. ”
Meng Xihua was stunned, and then responded.
All the time.
Especially after he assigned himself to Dong Chae-ling as a personal guard.
Xia Fan rarely communicated with her.
It seems that she has never been worried that she will run away or be bad for Dong Chae-ling.
But this time he suddenly took the initiative to find himself.
This illustrates.
He seemed to have something important to ask himself.
Courtyard.
Xia Fan lay on the rocking chair and took in the cold.
Meng Xihua, on the other hand, stood motionless like a wood carving.
"Huahua, you should have had secret contact with your elders over the years, right?"
Xia Fan looked at the bright moon rising above the night sky with a distracted gaze.
"Yes. ”
Meng Xihua did not hide it.
"What about me?"
Xia Fan said casually.
"I didn't disclose half a sentence below. ”
Meng Xihua said in a deep voice.
"Have your elders told you anything recently?"
Xia Fan didn't ask, and directly changed the conversation.
"Yes. Meng Xihua said simply. "The elders of the sect advised me to return to the sect as soon as possible. ”
"Why?"
Xia Fan shook his eyebrows and said.
"It is said to be related to demons. ”
Mengxi Hua Road.
"Can you tell me where your division is located?"
Xia Fan said thoughtfully.
"The Golden Birds. ”
Meng Xihua said without hesitation.
"The ...... of the Plantagenets"
Xia Fan whispered the name of the dynasty.
He was no stranger to the Plantagenets, but neither was he familiar.
Because he was just passing by in a hurry.
Compared to Asuka and White Deer Dynasty.
The Plantagenet was a very powerful dynasty.
The number of sects and cultivators in the realm of the dynasty alone was several times greater than that of the two combined.
Not to mention the strength aspect.
There are three Avatar Realm monks on the bright side.
One of them was also from the royal family of the Golden Bird Dynasty.
That's right.
The Plantagenet was one of the few dynasties that held real power.
You must know whether it is Nanlizhou or Dongmingzhou.
Most of the earthly dynasties are basically supported by the major sects.
The exception is the Golden Bird Dynasty.
It can even form a rivalry with the major sects in the territory.
Just to preserve the rule of the dynasty.
The relationship between the Golden Bird Dynasty and the major sects was generally relatively restrained and friendly.
If the Golden Bird Dynasty comes up with an organization similar to the Zhenwu Division.
It wouldn't be long before the entire dynasty was turned upside down.
The Golden Bird Dynasty is located to the west of the Asuka Dynasty, separated by many thousands of miles.
Even Xia Fan would have to spend three or five days of hard work to arrive.
"This place is really far enough away from your master's door, why did you choose to be in this place when you went out to travel?"
Xia Fan asked casually.
"When I first went downstream, I didn't have a specific place, but I just felt all the way east, and before I knew it, I came here. ”
Meng Xihua said in a calm tone.
"Then you're still quite willful. ”
Xia Fan pouted.
"Traveling for a long time is also a process of refining the mind. ”
Mengxi Hua Road.
"The demons may be at war with humanity. ”
Who knew that Xia Fan said suddenly.
“......”
Meng Xihua fell silent when he heard this.
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
Xia Fan couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
"In fact, any well-informed cultivator knows that in the next hundred years, demons will sooner or later start a war with human monks. ”
Meng Xihua said in a deep voice.
"Because the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation for the demons will become, and the people of insight among the demons are deeply aware of this, if they don't fight back and start a war, the living space of the demons will slowly be eaten up by us humans. ”
"You don't seem to be worried at all about going to war with demons. ”
Xia Fan said with interest.
"It's nothing more than to make it clear that this war demon will definitely be defeated. ”
Mengxi Hua Road.
"So confident?"
Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.
"It's not that you're being confident, but now that we humans have the absolute upper hand, the demons don't have any chance of turning the tables. ”
Mengxi Hua Road.
"No matter how the demons resist, in the end it is just a dying struggle, if it weren't for the existence of those demon sages, in the past wars, we humans would have been able to completely eradicate the grass. ”
"The problem is that whether the demons win or lose, this war will bring endless disasters. ”
Xia Fan shook his head and said.
"Just like the Bird Dynasty that lacks strength, maybe the Bird Dynasty has the ability to resist the invasion of demons, but the Bird Dynasty does not, and I can now foresee that the future Bird Dynasty has shown a scene of devastation. ”
“...... But we will eventually destroy the demons that ravage this land. ”
Meng Xihua was silent for a moment.
"If you were a native of the Asuka Dynasty, you probably wouldn't have said that easily. ”
Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said.
“......”
Meng Xihua simply shut up when he heard this.
"Go down, in the future, remember to be more vigilant to protect Cailing. ”
Xia Fan waved his hand lazily.
"Yes. ”
Meng Xihua turned around and left without saying a word.
"Ah Chao, Xiao Ming, do they have any news?"
Meng Xihua left not long ago.
Xia Fan, who was lying in the rocking chair, seemed to be talking to himself.
"Nope. ”
Ah Chao quietly appeared behind him.
"I haven't heard from them since they left. ”
"Remind them about demons and be cautious yourself. ”
Xia Fan sighed lightly.
"Yes. ”
Ah Chao said directly.
It was late at night.
Xia Fan naturally did not continue to stay in the courtyard.
Return to Dong Cailing's boudoir.
After gossiping with each other, they went to bed.
......
Since the Demon Incident.
The Asuka Dynasty has once again returned to its former peace.
There have been no major waves for several months.
It is located in a garden thatched hut with a hole in the deep mountain cliff.
this day.
Suddenly, an uninvited guest appeared.
"Ji Shang, you really disappointed me. ”
The curtain of the hut is automatically blown when there is no wind.
Immediately, a hoarse voice sounded in the room.
The strange thing is that there is only Ji Shang sitting on the futon in the house.
"I didn't expect you to come in person. ”
Ji Shang closed his eyes and said indifferently.
"Little Seventeen died here for no apparent reason, how can I still be indifferent?"
"I didn't kill him. ”
Ji Shang still reacted coldly.
"I know you didn't kill him, and if you had done it, he would have been dead, otherwise why would he end up humiliating those damned human monks. ”
The hoarse voice said coldly.
"You shouldn't have sent him in the first place. ”
Ji Shang was unmoved.
"Hmph, if I hadn't been letting the old man who asked the way of heaven stare at me all the time, do you think I would want to send the little seventeenth generation to go through this experience?"
The hoarse voice snorted coldly.
"No wonder you're only having a hint of thought this time. ”
Ji Shang has no joy or sorrow.
"Ji Shang, now that all the demon kings have reached a consensus, only you have not expressed your position. ”
The hoarse voice seemed too lazy to bother with Ji Shang.
“...... Does my statement matter?"
Ji Shang was silent for a moment.
"Ji Shang, do you know that your current behavior has made everyone very dissatisfied! As a demon in the eyes of humans, it is really ridiculous to be incarnated as the protector of human beings. ”
A hoarse voice sneered.
"This is my business, what does it have to do with you?"
Ji Shang said indifferently.
"But don't forget who you are!"
A hoarse voice snapped.
"If it weren't for Bai Yuan Great Sage's affection, do you think you would have been able to live in seclusion here for so many years?"
"I know. ”
Ji Shangdao.
"You know, hehe, Ji Shang, I hope you don't let us down again, otherwise even the Great Sage of Bai Yuan won't be able to protect you at that time. ”
A hoarse voice sneered.
"You can go. ”
Ji Shangdao.
"Yes, but before I go, you need to tell me something. ”
A hoarse voice said calmly.
Say. ”
Ji Shang said succinctly.
"Who the hell suppressed Little Seventeen!"
The hoarse voice said directly.
“......”
Ji Shang fell silent when he heard this.
"Well, since you won't tell me, I'll find out in my own way!"
A hoarse voice gritted his teeth.
"If you dare to make a move, don't blame me for stopping you. ”
Ji Shang finally spoke.
"Humph!"
Leave this sentence and snort coldly.
Calm returned to the hut.
