Chapter 011: Demons Arrive in the World
When the group of demon soldiers under the demon world leader Night Wind saw her being bulleted more than ten feet away, they rushed forward to help her up.
"The power of this White Tiger Divine Beast is really terrifying. The leader of the demon realm, Night Wind, couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
"Are you alright, King?" asked the captain of the wolf-headed soldiers, concerned.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little skin injury. ”
"King, this Jiangzhou City is too difficult to rush into. ”
"If it was easy to rush in, these five great divine swords would have already fallen into the hands of other realms!"
"I have a way to get in, but ....... The captain of the wolf-headed soldiers said heavily.
"What's the solution?" said the demon realm leader Night Wind impatiently.
"You see, there are two mortals entering the city ahead. If we become mortals, we will be able to enter it. ”
"Becoming mortal, then isn't my mana going to disappear?" said the demon realm leader Night Wind in disbelief, in fact, she was worried that after she became a mortal, her power would disappear. The captain of the wolf-headed soldier saw the doubts in her heart at this time, so he explained to her that after becoming a mortal, he only temporarily lost his mana, and when he left Jiangzhou City a hundred miles away, his mana would naturally recover after turning back into a real person. I saw that the leader of the demon realm, Ye Feng, frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "Since that's the case, let's try it." With that, the leader of the demon realm, Ye Feng, and her subordinates turned into a group of mortals and set off towards Jiangzhou City.
I don't know how long it took to walk, but the leader of the demon world, Yefeng, finally led the group of demon soldiers under her command to the north gate of this Jiangzhou City. Jiangzhou City, as expected, is heavily guarded, and it is not inferior to Jianye City of the Eastern Qinglong Kingdom and Jiaozhi City of the Southern Vermilion Bird Kingdom. There were more than two hundred guards at the city gate alone, and the soldiers were dressed in silver armor, and there was a statue of a white tiger beast on the helmet. The soldiers were all holding silver tridents, majestic, and there were more than a hundred archers on the tower, densely lined up in several rows, ready for battle.
"Who is it, why are you coming to my White Tiger Country?" shouted the captain of the soldiers guarding the city.
"Oh, we are from Nanban, we have something to do when we enter the city this time, and we ask Brother Jun to let us go. The captain of the wolf-headed soldiers said respectfully.
"Show me your right arm. "The leader of the demon realm, Night Wind, and the group of demon soldiers under her command had to pull up their sleeves one by one to show the captain of the soldiers guarding the city. I saw that the captain of the soldiers guarding the city quickly glanced at their right arm, and found that there was no pattern engraved on it, and he couldn't help but have many questions. Are they really from the Southern Barbarians? What is the purpose of entering the city? Should they be let in or not? The captain of the soldiers guarding the city was hesitating at this time. The leader of the demon realm, Night Wind, was very annoyed when he saw the captain of the soldiers guarding the city like this, and clenched his fists, wanting to step forward and punch him. The captain of the wolf-headed soldiers saw that his king was about to fight, and he was afraid that he would miss a big deal, so he rushed forward to stop it, and said in her ear: "King, you and I are mortals now, and I can't use any mana within a hundred miles of this Jiangzhou City." "The leader of the demon realm, Night Wind, had no choice but to give up after hearing the words of the captain of the wolf-headed soldiers.
"Brother Jun, you just let us in. The captain of the wolf-headed soldiers said with a smile on his face, and then quickly took out a silver ingot from his bosom, and then grabbed one of the hands of the captain of the guards guarding the city, shoved it into his hand, and glanced at him. I saw that the captain of the soldiers guarding the city instantly transferred the silver to his arms when others were not paying attention. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and the captain of the soldiers guarding the city really had a different attitude after taking the silver, and he pondered for a while and then pretended to say, "Since you have something to do when you enter the city, then go in." However, only the two of you are allowed in, and as for the others, just stay where you are. ”
"Just the two of us?" said the Demon Realm Leader, Nightwind, pointing to the wolf-headed captain under him.
"You don't have any pattern on your right arm, how can this prove that you are from the Nanban? Okay, don't be verbose, hurry in. ”
"You ......!" Night Wind, the leader of the demon world, was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the wolf-headed soldier saw the situation in front of him, and was afraid that there would be extraneous branches, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the demon her's hand, and pulled her to the city. Then he said to the group of demon soldiers behind him who had become mortals, "We are going in, you are waiting for us here in peace." ”
The leader of the Demon Realm, Night Wind, and her subordinate Captain Wolf Head Soldier entered the city of Jiangzhou in the Western White Tiger Country. The first thing that catches their eyes is a straight blue brick avenue, which is lined with all kinds of commercial shops, such as restaurants, tea houses, silk cloth mills, etc. Thirty zhang road further is the market of Jiangzhou City, a variety of street stall vendors, porcelain, vegetables and fruits, calligraphy and painting, folk ornaments and so on. The Demon Realm Leader Nightwind and her Captain of the Wolf-headed Soldiers were dazzled by the fact that a team of gongs and drums came from behind the two of them. The two turned their heads at this time, and it turned out that this was a team holding a worship ceremony, followed by six burly men with their upper bodies, four of whom carried a slaughtered cow, and the other two carried a sheep. These six ** burly men with upper bodies are followed by a group of men, women and children, and their expressions are quite pleasant. Because this day is the first day of the new year, it is the day to worship the white tiger beast.
"What's going on?" said the Demon Realm Leader Night Wind puzzled.
"Great King, this is the worship activity of the people of Jiangzhou City, the White Tiger Country in the West, and today happens to be the first day of the new year. ”
"Are you referring to the worship of the divine beast on the fifteenth day of the new year?"
"Yes. ”
"Let's go, let's follow them and see where they're going. After the Demon Realm Leader Night Wind finished speaking, she and her subordinate captain of the wolf-headed soldiers cautiously followed the back of the team, looking around from time to time.
The team of gongs and drums walked to a temple, and the leader of the demon realm, Night Wind, and her captain of the wolf-headed soldiers followed to the temple, and they found that on both sides of the temple's gate, forty or fifty soldiers in silver armor and tridents in their arms stood intently as they scanned the crowd entering the temple. When the two of them also wanted to follow in, they were stopped by the guards at the door.
"Who is it, why did you come to the White Tiger Temple in my White Tiger Country?" the captain of the soldiers at the head shouted.
"Oh, we're from Nanban, and we want to go into the White Tiger Temple to worship. "The captain of the wolf-headed soldiers under the leader of the demon world, Night Wind, is se. I saw that the captain of the sergeant wanted the two of them to show their right arm, and the two of them had no choice but to pull up their sleeves and let the captain of the sergeant check it.
"Brother Jun, I heard that Jianye City in the Eastern Qinglong Kingdom and Jiaozhi City in the Southern Vermilion Bird Country do not need to be inspected when they enter their temples on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The leader of the demon realm, Yefeng, asked puzzledly, only to see that the captain of the non-commissioned officer who was the leader smiled coldly after hearing this, and then patiently explained to the two of them from beginning to end. It turned out that the kings of the five countries of the Central Plains gathered in Xiangyang City half a year ago and jointly formulated a set of laws. The people of each nation had to have a pattern engraved on their own body to make it easier to distinguish and administer. The people of the Eastern Blue Dragon Kingdom have a green dragon pattern engraved on their left arm; the people of the Southern Vermilion Bird Kingdom must engrave a Vermilion Bird pattern on their left arm; the people of the Western White Tiger Kingdom must have a white tiger pattern engraved on their right arm; the people of the Northern Xuanwu Kingdom must engrave a Xuanwu pattern on their right arm; and the Qilin Kingdom in the middle of the Central Plains, the people of the country must engrave the image of a unicorn beast on their foreheads. The people of each country were allowed to interact with each other, but they were not allowed to enter the temples and special places of each country. For example, the people of the Eastern Blue Dragon Kingdom can enter Jiangzhou City in the Western White Tiger Kingdom, but they cannot enter the White Tiger Temple and go to the White Tiger Den and the White Tiger Pagoda outside the city. As for those who are engraved with other patterns other than the five divine beasts or who do not have engraved patterns, they can enter the temples of the divine beasts of various countries and go to some special places outside the city within a limited time, such as the first and fifteenth days of the new year, except for these two days, they are not allowed to enter at any time. Once discovered, they will be executed after being caught.
After explaining in detail to the Demon Realm leader Nightwind and her wolf-headed captain, the captain of the sergeant captain, he let the two of them in.
