Chapter 16: The Imperial City of the Demon Realm
Lixi smiled faintly and didn't speak, the demon king would not show up in this kind of scene, she never showed up for thousands of years after she succeeded to the throne, she should be afraid of going back in chaos, it seems that the appearance of this demon king is indeed as charming as the legend, but some people seem to can't wait to force her to come forward.
"Your Highness, let's go down to the Demon Realm to have a look! Anyway, it's still early, so let's stay in the Demon Realm for a day or two. Qingfeng looked at the people of the demon realm under his feet with a full light in his eyes.
"Do you want to go?" Mo Nian turned to the side.
"Your Highness can go if you want!
"Let's go!" the four of them floated down from above, landed on the outskirts of the royal city, and walked towards the city.
The people in the city of flowers live and work in peace and contentment, all industries are prosperous, the palace of the demon king stands above the south face, there is a suspended ladder that extends to the source, according to legend, this suspended ladder, there are 9,990 steps, all are a slippery white jade steps.
The Demon King's Palace is the most extravagant existence in the Six Realms, and it was built by the founder of the Demon Realm with a lifetime of hard work. The inner and outer walls of the Demon King's Palace are all cast by the dark iron, the palace is built by the thousand-year-old warm jade, the floor is paved with white jade, and even more is the glazed hall of the Demon King's residence, which took nearly 10,000 years to build with charm, the sun shines, and the light shines. Legend has it that the lotus flowers bloom all year round, and the incense couch of the demon king is located on a lotus flower, and the curtains on it are naturally formed by all kinds of flowers and vines. In a charming life, the face covering technique only broke two floors, and all the time was spent on eating, drinking, and having fun.
"This Demon King's Palace, it's so beautiful!" The breeze snorted a few times, Mo Nian smiled faintly, no matter how beautiful things are, after looking at them for a long time, they are all the same.
Everyone found a restaurant and sat down, the position was by the window, facing the jade steps of the Demon King's Palace, and suddenly there was a bell in the sky, as if it came from the Demon King's Palace, and the people rushed out, standing on the street, raising their heads to look at the Demon King's Palace above the south.
"What's going on?" Qingfeng was puzzled and looked at Lixi.
The latter smiled faintly and said, "This is the custom of the Demon King to summon the four elders. ”
Sure enough, after a while, four sedan chairs surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds floated towards the Demon King's Palace. Mo Nian was stunned for a moment, she is here, who is in command in the Demon King Palace? Which one did the four elders sing, are they afraid that people will know that she is not in the Demon King Palace?
Xiao Er came to pour tea and said with a smile: "Our king, although he has never shown his face, but every time the bell rings, everyone is very relieved, as long as the king is in the palace, our demon world will not be bullied." ”
"Haven't you seen the Demon King?" Qingfeng asked in surprise.
"I have never seen it, the king ascended the throne on the day to worship the heavens, and accepted the worship of the people on the top of the king's city, all sitting in a drapan chair, only knowing that he was dressed in red clothes. Our king is very low-key, and when he ascended the throne, he did not invite all walks of life to watch the ceremony, and the people only heard his voice, but did not see his true face. You're from out of town, aren't you?"
"Yes, we are residents of the border!"
"No wonder!" Xiao Er nodded, and said: "This time, the seventh son of the Demon Lord ascended the throne, please invite my king to watch the ceremony, everyone is discussing, whether the king will go or not." When the bell rings today, it should be the one who talks about it. ”
Mo Nian couldn't help but be a little funny, her people were guessing her thoughts every day, and it was really leisurely.
"Little Er, it's time to serve!"
"It's coming!" Xiao Er quickly smiled and walked away.
"Your Highness, you said that this demon king, could it be just made up by the four elders to appease the people, otherwise how could he not even see his own people. ”
Before Li Xi spoke, Mo Nian looked at him, then turned to Qingfeng, and said: "What does the border of the people have to do with you, whether there is this person or not, it is enough for the people to be safe and secure now." ”
"It's just you!" Yufu also glared at Qingfeng, Qingfeng sneered, and didn't speak again, at this time, the meal was served, and the four of them ate it. After finishing a walk around the street, before I knew it, the breeze and rain were gone. Mo Nian saw that there was a sugar gourd seller on the side, so he asked for two strings and handed one to Lixi, who looked at her and didn't answer. Mo Nian laughed and had to eat it himself.
Lixi smiled faintly and said, "Is it delicious?"
I remember the first time I went out on the street, I saw this and ate six skewers in one go, and after that, every time I went out on the street, I would eat one skewer. ”
"Do we have one in the Divine Realm who sells this?"
Mo Nian was taken aback, she really didn't know if there was one in the God Realm who sold this, but everything was said about this, and there was no way to continue if she didn't say it. "Naturally, there is, but if you stay in the shrine all the year round, you will not be able to see it, and this is what ordinary people will buy and eat. ”
He really never went to the street, and he didn't know what was being sold on the street.
"Take a look, it's delicious! It's sweet and sour. She held the sugar gourd to his lips.
Lixi shook her head: "I don't like to eat sweets." ”
Mo Nian withdrew her hand and ate it herself, if she didn't eat it, she could eat two skewers if she didn't eat it.
It was almost dark, Qingfeng came over, said that he had arranged a place to stay, and the two followed him back.
Lying on the bed in the inn, Mo Nian couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, his palace was in front of him, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to say it if he didn't go back, and besides, shouldn't he go to say hello to the elders first, so as to save the time to meet them at the ceremony, but it would really make them angry to death.
She was about to disappear, but she found that her room was surrounded by enchantments, and at a glance she knew that it was laid by Lixi. If he escaped from the barrier, he would definitely alarm him. Forget it, Mo Nian fell back to the bed, let's take one step at a time!
The next day, the four of them went on the road after breakfast, and after half a day, they arrived at the king city of the demon world, and the magic city of the demon world was much more depressed than the hundred flowers city of the demon world, but maybe the new monarch was about to succeed to the throne, so it was still very lively. Everyone lived in the Yingjun Pavilion under the arrangement of the demon envoy, and all walks of life set up the Yingjun Pavilion outside their royal city, which was handed over to all walks of life to live.
As soon as he walked into the Yingjun Pavilion, Mo Nian heard a similar flute sound coming from the south, the flute sound was melodious, seemingly calm and waveless, but it was secretly sad. It is much the same as the top of the snow-capped mountain that day. It's him, it must be him, Mo Nian couldn't help but head south, looked at her in confusion, and said, "Where are you going?"
Mo Nian came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I want to take a look around!"
The demon envoy turned around and said respectfully, "The residence of the prince of the divine realm is in the east, and the residence of the prince of the immortal realm is in the south. ”
