In the sky above the night, Shen Jingli rode the clouds. Seeing her solemn face, Hu Yiran thought: The princess is so smart, could it be that she discovered something? At the moment, he tentatively said: "The princess doesn't have to care too much. Since ancient times, the strong have been respected, and they are born weak, which is fate and cannot be changed. ”

"I don't care about that, but I wonder what treasure I should give you?" Shen Jingli stared at Hu Yiran playfully.

Hu Yiran smiled, pointed to Shen Jingli's colorful glazed wide-sleeved shirt and said, "This wide-sleeved shirt is extremely exquisite, why don't you give it to me?" ”

"Think beautifully, this is the only gift my master gave me."

Hu Yiran snorted and said, "I know you won't send me." ”

"You can choose the others."

"Please, my princess, I am also the holy daughter of the fox fairy clan. If you're willing to send it, I really don't really like it. ”

Shen Jingli tugged at her cheek and said with a smile: "Yes! You're a little princess too. In Heavenly Court, your status is no worse than mine. ”

The princess laughed. You and I were born on the same day, and Emperor Chengtian also accepted me as a righteous daughter because of his love for you. ”

Shen Jingli heard this, and a grotesque idea suddenly popped up in her mind. Leaning into the ear of Hu Yiran, he said mysteriously: "I heard that the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor has an old relationship with my father, maybe you are really my sister!" ”

"Princess, don't talk nonsense!" Hu Yiran said a little angrily.

"Nonsense? Your name was given to me by my father, and I have never heard of who your father is. The most important one, why did the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor choose to return to Heaven after you were born? ”

Hu Yiran suddenly hugged Shen Jingli, tears fell, and sobbed: "I never knew who my father was? Today, when I heard my sister say it, I suddenly realized. ”

Shen Jingli shouted in her heart that it was not good, how could she dig a pit and bring herself in. pushed Hu Yiran away and said solemnly: "I said nonsense, don't take it seriously." Besides, the time is not right! ”

Fox Yiran shook his head and explained, "That's right! It takes a long time for us Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to have a baby. According to the time, it may be before Emperor Chengtian broke into the Nine Dragons Tianze. ”

When Shen Jingli heard this, she said angrily: "Do you want to tell me that the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor has been pregnant with you for a thousand years?" ”

"Who can tell the matter between emperors and monarchs!" The fox stopped crying and returned to normal in an instant.

"Alright, no kidding. I know you envy the treasures on me, I'll change my body, right? As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and changed into a white feather skirt. He got up and spun around and asked, "Is it pretty?" ”

Hu Yiran nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's much more comfortable." ”

"Comfortable? Then you can change it too! It's easier for us to do things. ”

Hu Yiran was originally unhappy, but after thinking about it, he changed into a long shirt and dressed up as a man. Seeing this, Shen Jingli laughed heartily and threatened that if she was a man, she would definitely marry her.

Hu Yiran began to tease Shen Jingli with a manly demeanor. The two talked and laughed, and all the troubles were left behind. Unfortunately, the joy didn't last long, when a sound was heard as it flew over a merlin.

"Immortal friends, please stay!"

Shen Jingli was stopped, and looked down Merlin, it was a long-bearded old man. He rode down the clouds, walked in front of him, and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you holding me back? ”

"Don't misunderstand immortal friends, the old decay has been practicing here all the year round, and now I see immortal friends passing by in the clouds, and I am specially invited to enjoy the plum pavilion." The old man said sincerely.

Shen Jingli took a look through Tianyuan Zhu and learned that this person was a human fairyland. Thinking of the shepherd boy's words, I thought that he might be the immortal surnamed Huai. I wanted to talk a few words, but when I thought that he was a human immortal but allowed evil cultivation to harm the people, he suddenly lost interest.

At the moment, he asked: "You have practiced for hundreds of years, and you have entered the fairy land, but you have allowed evil cultivation to harm the people, what is the reason?" ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Why did the fairy friend say this?" The old man has lived in seclusion all year round, but he has never gone down the mountain to harm the people. ”

Shen Jingli snorted coldly and asked, "According to this, about forty miles away, there is an evil cultivator who occupies the fishing village and kills the villagers. With your cultivation, it doesn't take half a day to go back and forth, why don't you let it go? ”

The old man was a little angry after hearing this, and flicked his sleeve back and said, "Hmph! The old decay is a wild repair, not under the control of the royal family. Evil cultivation and evil have their own protection from the city lord, what does it have to do with old decay? ”

"What a wild cultivator, I think you look like a wild ghost." Shen Jingli said that the plum blossoms around her floated and gathered in her palm.

Seeing this, the old man knew that he was invincible, so he turned around and fled. Shen Jingli punched out a palm, and the plum blossoms flew towards the old man like a sharp blade. At this moment, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties stood in front of the old man, and the plum blossom flew to a foot away and stopped.

If you look closely, there is a layer of water covering the plum petals at that foot. The young man removed the water cover and asked, "Why does the fairy friend hurt people?" ”

After Hu Yiran secretly investigated, she transmitted Shen Jingli, "Princess, this kid has a good talent!" ”

However, Shen Jingli was even more annoyed by this, and rebuked: "It's in vain that God gave you a good talent." ”

The young man also knew the reason under the old man's voice and explained: "The fairy friend has misunderstood. It's not that we don't want to help the villagers, but that my father has a covenant with the county and can't interfere in mundane affairs. ”

"Where is your father? Call out and see me. ”

The young man shook his head and replied, "My father has resisted the invasion of the demon clan and has not returned for a long time. ”

When Shen Jingli heard this, she asked: "Your father still knows how to resist the demon clan, but as a son of man, you are shrinking into the mountains, what is the reason?" ”

The young man frowned, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you know the rule that every time there is a war, mountain monks are not allowed to go down the mountain without permission?" ”

"Humph! Stupid strategy. Shen Jingli sneered.

"Isn't it stupid that fairy friend thinks that there will be a death battle in the front and civil strife in the rear?"

Shen Jingli was speechless, thinking that she was indeed taking it for granted. However, the city lord's failure to do so must be asked. Just about to leave, she was stopped by the young man and invited her to taste the newly brewed plum wine. Shen Jingli wanted to find out more about the ancestral star, so she went with him.

The sky is not yet bright, but the moonlight is bright, and the fragrance of plum is wafting, and then tasting a plum blossom wine, it is indeed quite pleasant.

The young man in the plum pavilion reported his home, his father's name was Huai Yongan, and he was named Dongwang, which means not forgetting the eastward invasion of the demon clan. As for the long-bearded old man, his name is Huai Yonghe, and he is his own uncle.

After listening to him, Shen Jingli was quite interested in Huai Yongan. When asked, the shepherd boy sang before was also his father's masterpiece.

The words seem to be written about the plum blossoms reflecting the mountain in March, and the pedestrians are drunk and forget to return, but in fact, Huai Yongan admonishes future generations, and the demon clan is as silent as the plum blossoms in front of them, and it will eventually fall. When the time comes, they will make a comeback. Therefore, wake up in time and be prepared to meet the enemy.

The two sides tasted wine and talked in detail, and Huai Dongwang was not very optimistic about the prospects of the human race. Shen Jingli asked why, and Huai Dongwang replied: "Since Emperor Yuan Tian conquered the immortal path and took away all the star monarchs and generals, the strength of the ancestral star human race has been greatly reduced, and there has even been an embarrassment of not being able to catch the yellow. (Note: After Emperor Yuan Tiandi, Tianzun was renamed Xingjun)

After listening to this, Hu Yiran asked Shen Jingli what a general immortal was. Shen Jingli explained: "This is what it was called a long time ago. The nine realms of the Immortal Monarch, the three immortals of human, element, and spirit are collectively referred to as the earth immortals; The three immortals of Chang, Zhen and Xuan are collectively referred to as Shangxian; Jin Xian, Taiyi Jin Xian, and Da Luo Jin Xian are collectively referred to as Jiang Xian. ”

Huai Dongwang drank a glass of wine, and then said: "I heard about the battle in Wushan, and the five Xuan Immortals were actually suppressed by the three sixth-order demon kings. This is still a temptation of the demon race, if there is a large-scale invasion, the human race is in danger. ”

Shen Jingli was also disappointed by this, although the strength of the demon clan at the same level was higher than that of the human race, it was not to the extent of three to five, and the higher the cultivation, the smaller the gap would be, and even surpass it in the Emperor Yuan Realm.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Didn't Emperor Yuan Tian set up five halls such as Qinglong and Vermilion Bird to guard before leaving?" How could the demon clan be so rampant? ”

Huai Dongwang drank another glass of wine and sighed: "Alas! If it weren't for these five halls, the human race would be dead! It's just that the demon clan is powerful, but my Terran monk only thinks about the recruitment of the heavenly court, how can he care about the honor and disgrace of the Terran. ”

"Princess, what is the Heavenly Court recruitment?" Hu Yiran suddenly asked.

Huai Dongwang was about to pour wine, and when he heard Hu Yiran's words, he wondered: "Didn't the two of you come down from the fairy world?" How can you not know about recruitment? ”

Shen Jingli secretly said: "Ancestral Star set up the Heavenly Gate, and therefore sealed its path to advancement. Therefore, every once in a while, the fairy world will send envoys to recruit, and the same is true for the demon clan. ”

Hu Yiran asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"That's because the various clans are developing rapidly, and they don't care about the power of the ancestral star, so the recruitment period is constantly extended. As far as I know, the last recruitment should have been a thousand years ago. I also heard that there was a civil strife during the recruitment of the demon clan, and a demon emperor was damaged. ”

"Can the Demon Emperor be damaged here?" Hu Yiran was a little incredulous.

"The cultivation environment here is suppressed, and it is difficult for monks to advance, but once they are promoted, their strength is generally higher than that of the immortal realm. I heard that the demon emperor was extremely talented, and he didn't take the demon king here in his eyes, so he suffered a big loss. Shen Jingli explained.

Huai Dongwang watched the two of them speak for a long time, guessing that they were transmitting the sound, although he had doubts in his heart, he did not interrupt, just drank silently.

Shen Jingli picked up the wine cup, looked at Huaidong respectfully, and asked for the solution.

Huai Dong looked up and said, "The war between the two clans is long-term. The demon clan is powerful, and it is impossible to compete for the length of the moment. Therefore, avoid its edge and accumulate strength. When the two sides reach a balance of strength, they can coexist peacefully. ”

Shen Jingli felt that what he said was very reasonable, and secretly wrote it down in her heart. Interestingly, the two of them had a wine tasting and talking, but it became the fuse that changed the cultivation pattern of the ancestral star. However, the old pattern has been broken, and the arrival of the new pattern is both an opportunity and a disaster for the Ancestral Star Terrans.

Of course, that's all for later. Now, the sky is getting brighter, and Shen Jingli also said goodbye to Huaidongwang and encouraged him to cultivate diligently, and he will become a great weapon one day.

Huai Dongwang was a little reluctant, asked where he went, and expressed his willingness to help.

Shen Jingli shook her head and persuaded: "You and I are two passers-by, if you want to see you again, come to Heaven to find me!" As for where I'm going—" he said with a smile, "Ask the lord for a cup of tea." ”

Huai Dong bowed and bowed, and watched the two go away. After returning to the Plum Appreciation Pavilion, he looked at the remaining wine on the table and said with regret: "It turns out that she doesn't like to drink." Suddenly, he realized that Shen Jingli's begging for a cup of tea was to hold him accountable. was just about to follow to help, but was stopped by Huai Yonghe.

"Dong'er, you better meditate and practice! I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of her business. After Huai Yonghe finished speaking, he took out a jade plate, on which the transmission of Shen Jingli and Hu Yiran was recorded.

Huai Dongwang heard the princess, and his heart chuckled, as if something was broken.

Huai Yonghe stroked his head and comforted: "Perhaps, there is still a chance." ”

Huai Dongwang shook his head and walked towards the cultivation stone room. As he walked, he repeated: "The road of cultivation is long, how can I be distracted, I shouldn't!" ”

Huai Yonghe looked at his nephew, crushed the jade plate, and quietly went down the mountain.
