Chapter 10: Overview of the Demon Realm, The Way of Kings, and Xiaozhi's Song 1
The moon, the full moon, bright and soft, is the best envelope for romantic warmth and longing and sorrow, whether it is ancient or modern, the demon world or the world.
For people in Stone Village, the first thing that may come to mind when they see the full moon is Dimensity Stone. But Tao Xiaozhi is not, the first thing he thinks of is people: grandma, Chu Ru, Amu, iron bucket, Guiye, big head, idiot ghosts will naturally think of things when they think of people, big things and small things, happy things, sad things, and naturally have all kinds of moods, sadness, happiness, boredom, helplessness, excitement, and all kinds of moods, they must be released, otherwise they will be held in their hearts, their hearts will not explode, their blood vessels will also burst, their blood vessels will not be swollen, and their stomachs will also leak. Tao Xiaozhi thought of borrowing poetry to comfort his feelings.
Tao Xiaozhi got up, paced with his hands and said:
Look up at the bright moon
Bow your head and think of your hometown
May people last a long time
Thousands of miles together
"Good poetry!" the old man with pigtails pushed the door and walked in, "The yellow race is really a genius in poetry!"
Tao Xiaozhi said: "Pass the award, pass the award! The little brother is not talented, just bring a few poems, complain, complain!"
The old man with pigtails said: "We blue people also have the traditional habit of using poetry to complain. ”
"Oh?"
The old man with pigtails said: "It's just right, tonight's poetry fills my whole heart like blood, and I have to complain to the moon!"
"Please!"
The old man with the pigtails shook his braided beard and sang:
Bright Moon, Bright Moon, you are like a medicine pill
I have eaten you to make my sickness disappear
White clouds, white clouds you are like a bandage
I have wrapped you so that my wounds will no longer bleed
Hot air, hot air you are like a bowl of medicinal soup
Drink you so that I don't have to lie on the sickbed anymore
Radiance, radiance you are like a scalpel
Seeing you gives me a glimpse of the future
"Good poetry, good poetry! It's a swan song for the ages!" Tao Xiaozhi clapped his hands and smiled, "You really don't leave your profession, you are so dedicated!"
The old man with pigtails said: "Pass the prize, pass the award! The little brother is not talented, he brought a few poems at hand, complained, complained." ”
Tao Xiaozhi changed the subject and said: "Is there something the doctor is looking for me? ”
The old man with pigtails said, "I'm here to see your condition." But seeing that you are so energetic and actually wrote poems, I am also relieved. But I have something else to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I'd just like to give you an overview of the Demon Domain. ”
"Okay. Tao Xiaozhi said, "This is exactly what I want to know." ”
The old man with pigtails stroked his beard and said, "The Demon Realm is a realm in the other world, and it is a place where all kinds of people with magical power live together with beasts or humans and beasts. At present, the princes of the Demon Realm are divided and fighting continuously, and there are mainly five major forces, namely the Demon Domain, the Holy Spirit Source, the Half-Immortal Fantasy Island, the City of Giants and the Flying Holy Land. The Hive Domain is the largest of the five spheres of influence, and it is home to demons, orcs, and people of all colors (such as blues, greens, etc.). The politicians of the Demon Domain are very ambitious, and want to annex the entire Demon Realm and become their own boss, so they will create all kinds of reasons for war to pave the way for invading other regions, and the source of the Holy Spirit is the birthplace of various Holy Spirits, such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, Xuanwu and other holy beasts. There are countless kinds of strange and strange aura animals there, and the Holy Spirit Warriors and Beast Spirit People protect the rare beasts and people there. Of course, there are also people from other regions of the demon world, such as blue people, green people, half-immortals, giants, and flying people, and even people of the yellow race! They all love peace and yearn for a better life, but their lives are never very peaceful, because there are treasures everywhere, and other regions also want to get a piece of the pie, so it is the best feng shui treasure place to create a battlefield; the half-immortal fantasy island is mainly lived by half-immortals, and half-immortals are half-humans and half-immortals, and they know all kinds of immortal arts. They have been cultivating the immortal path frantically all day long, like a girl who is as fanatical as losing weight, and their brains are almost burned out, and they have no interest in war at all. The purpose of their cultivation is to achieve positive results as soon as possible and ascend to immortality as they wish, so that they can get rid of the demon world and get a pass to enter the immortal world; the city of giants, of course, is the place ruled by the giant clan, it is the country of the giant clan, which is located in the northwest of the demon realm, in the middle of ice and snow, the climate is extremely cold and harsh, and it is the place that other forces do not want to fight for. Therefore, the giants are not worried about the war, they are worried about how to solve the problem of food and clothing, because it is a barren land, and the country of the flying people is located in the flying holy land, where it is the magic domain in the sky, that is, a piece of land suspended in the sky, and everyone there can fly. Due to the geographical location, it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and the flying man is not easy to mess with, so life there is quite stable, and no one dares to have the idea of aggression. However, the flying man loves to cause trouble, and if he has nothing to do, he will find trouble with the Holy Spirit Source and the Half-Immortal Fantasy Island. In addition to the five major forces above, there are also some other small spheres of influence, such as the Curve Zone of the Land of Women and the Strange Isle of the Country of Weirdos, etc. ”
Tao Xiaozhi said: "The Demon Realm is really exciting! There are so many grotesque, novel and fun things!"
The old man with pigtails said: "The Demon Realm is fun, and it is easy to play with human life! It is very difficult for a weak human like you to gain a foothold in the Demon Realm. ”
Tao Xiaozhi said: "Why? What about human beings, human strength is immeasurable!"
The old man with pigtails said, "Wait a minute, I'm telling you how stupid and ignorant you are. Listen to me finish the general situation of the demon world first. ”
The old man with the pigtails continued: "The demon world is very chaotic now, as if it has returned to the ancient Pangu era, where various forces are fighting openly and secretly, forming alliances with each other, and fighting with each other, dividing and merging, merging and dividing. At present, the war between the Demon Domain and the Holy Spirit Source is in full swing, and the Demon Domain has occupied fifteen cities in the Holy Spirit Source Land, and there are still seven cities left, and the defenders of the Holy Spirit Source Land are still stubbornly defending, and soon the Holy Spirit Source Land will be on the verge of being wiped out!"
Tao Xiaozhi said: "Why did they fight?"
The old man with braids said, "That's longer than a piece of cloth." The Demon King of the Demon Domain, Night Tooth, wants to get a treasure from the Holy Spirit Source, called the Holy Spirit Stone. The Stone of the Holy Spirit is actually composed of five magical stones, each stone has its own color: yellow, green, blue, brown and red, which represent gold, wood, water, earth and fire, respectively, so their respective names are called Golden Spirit Stone, Green Wood Spirit Stone, Blue Water Spirit Stone, Brown Earth Spirit Stone and Red Fire Spirit Stone, and the Spirit Stone is also called the Five Elements Spirit Stone. The Stone of the Holy Spirit is derived from the essence of heaven and earth, the aura of the sun and the moon, and has a huge amount of energy, that is, the energy of the five elements, that is, the energy of "metal", "wood", "water", "earth" and "fire". These five energies can exist independently or be mixed with each other, but if they are mixed incorrectly, they will "restrain each other" and cancel out the energy, which is a very dangerous thing. If you get five kinds of energy, the five elements are one, and its energy will exceed that of an independent energy by thousands of times!"
Tao Xiaozhi said: "What 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth'? What kind of energy are these?"
The old man with pigtails said, "I don't know what kind of energy it is. Legend has it that people who have the energy of the Holy Spirit Stone can call the wind and rain, and their magic power Sun Wukong is also powerful! Therefore, the Demon King of the Demon Domain, Ye Tianya, will launch this long-planned war, get the Holy Spirit Stone, get these five kinds of energy, and then dominate the Demon World and be the king of the Demon World. In fact, other forces, such as the City of Giants, have long coveted the Holy Spirit Stone, but their strength really can't beat the Holy Spirit Source, so they can only bury this thought in their hearts and wait for the opportunity to move.
"Let's talk about the Spirit Stone. The Stone of the Holy Spirit is the treasure of the Guardian of the Holy Spirit Source and is placed on the Holy Spirit Mountain. Legend has it that if the Spirit Stone is taken from the Holy Spirit Mountain, the Holy Spirit Mountain will crack open and the volcano will erupt, endangering the entire Holy Spirit Source. Therefore, those who are in the source of the Holy Spirit must also protect the Stone of the Holy Spirit when they die. ”
Tao Xiaozhi said: "Speaking of stones, my village also has a magical stone called Tianji Stone. It's turquoise and shiny, and when it comes to a full moon, it turns crimson and absorbs the moon's rays!"
The old man with pigtails smiled and said, "Stones like this are everywhere on the Holy Spirit Mountain!"
"Really!" Tao Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, "Then I must go and pick a few pieces back when I have time, then it will be developed!"
The old man with pigtails pointed to a stone hanging on the wall that glowed orange and said, "See, those stones are called stone lamps, which are used for lighting." ”
Tao Xiaozhi said: "It's amazing, you don't need an oil lamp!"
The old man with pigtails said: "In the Demon Realm, this is just a pediatric! There are many things that you people from the world can't think of in your lifetime." Take your time to find out!"
Tao Xiaozhi said: "The demon world is getting more and more interesting!"
The old man with pigtails said, "Alright, let's continue our conversation and talk about the Demon Domain." The Demon Domain is the holy land of the Demon Realm, one of the two strongest regions of the Demon Realm, and the other is the source of the Holy Spirit, but it seems that it may be one of the weakest now. There are three main types of people in the Demon Domain, demons, beasts, and colored people. Demons, some of them are no different from colored people on the surface, and some of them are more unusual, with strange shapes and unique shapes. They possess all sorts of powerful unfathomable powers of magic and mana. If they don't show this ability, it will be difficult for you to tell if they are demons or ordinary people, only by looking at the demonic energy on their bodies. However, demonic energy is also a very abstract thing, it can neither be seen nor touched, and can only be judged by intuition. Anyway, demonic energy is a kind of inner spiritual manifestation of a person who feels fear, unnatural and uncomfortable, which is difficult to describe, but you can always instinctively feel its existence at the first time. Similarly, there is a fairy qi, that is, a kind of spiritual temperament of an immortal; the beast and the demon man, the combination of the beast and the man, the big one is the size of a house, the small one is as small as a fire star, and the long one is strangely shaped, neither like a human nor a beast, but it has various characteristics of a man and a beast. They have all kinds of grotesque innate skills, both like human skills and beast skills, but their attack ability is very strong. In the Demon Domain, you must not offend the above two kinds of people, otherwise your life will soon be over. Why? This goes back to your stupid old talk about 'the demon world is fun, but it's easy to kill people'. Why? Because they are the rulers of the Demon Realm, they have great magic, magic, and skills, and they can wipe you out in a snap of a finger! We, the blues, the greens, and the yellows are just ants in front of them, and they are no match for them, and they can do whatever they want to trample on or not. So, in the Demon Domain, the demons and the beasts are superior people, and the colored people are inferior and slaves! They don't treat us as human beings, as long as they are happy, they can kill the colored people at will, and they don't have to go to jail, which is stipulated in the "Demon Domain Code". In addition, the Hive Realm Code has many provisions that discriminate against people of color, such as how much we have to pay each year. So, in the Demon Realm, you have to obey the laws here, and you have to know what to do and what not to do, and that's the main purpose of my coming to you tonight. ”
Tao Xiaozhi yawned and said, "I'm so tired, I don't know if I'll have nightmares tonight." ”
The old man with pigtails took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Tao Xiaozhi: "This is a proposed 'Evil Demon Domain Essential', which is roughly written, what things should be done and what should not be done, you should take a good look!"
Tao Xiaozhi said nonchalantly: "You should study and study it." It's not too early, I still have some medicine for a patient, so I'll go first. If you have any doubts about the place and the body, come to me!"
Tao Xiaozhi said: "Old man with pigtails, let's have a long talk about drinking and writing poems together! I also want to ask you about poetry." ”
The old man with pigtails said, "Definitely, definitely!"
The old man with pigtails walked out of the doorway.
Tao Xiaozhi shouted at the back of the old man with braids: "Where is my sword? It's the one with a red scabbard with strange flame stripes and symbolic characters!"
"I don't know! Probably at the shepherd's old man!"
