Chapter 3: Sudden Changes

South of Lanchi City, along the southern coast of the Great Huang Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis place looks out to the south of the ocean and the boundless sea, and to the north of the dense forest. Located in a little-known place in the Chongqian Plain of Chuziwan, there is a city with countless temples and 100-meter-high stone carvings. This is a kingdom palace thousands of years ago, and now the world calls it the ancient capital of the Rong family. The ancient capital was originally located in the middle of the Savage Continent, and after the Great War of the Eight Realms, it eventually drifted with the plates, and now it has become one of the nests of the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm.

The underground prisons of the ancient capital are entrenched, and many secret institutions have been set up. In one of the underground corridors, a scholar-like man shook his fan in front of him, followed by two stout men, whose hands and faces were covered with long hair, and who were transformed by spirit beasts.

Two spirit beasts followed behind the scholar with a woman wrapped in white gauze, and this woman was the scarf girl. The scarf girl's body was as soft as watery flour, and her eyes were flashing in a trance. She knew what happened last night, and she wanted to die, but someone else found out and stopped her. After realizing that his father's revenge was not avenged, coupled with his innocence being humiliated, how could this deep hatred be erased!

"Open the cell door. ”

The jailer bowed to the scholar and then took out the key to open the door.

"The seniors in the prison worked hard, and the goods were delivered a little late this time, so I hope the seniors are not strange. After the scholar finished speaking, he exited the prison door, and the two spirit beasts threw the scarf girl into the prison and turned around and left.

"The subordinates of the third prince retired, and the goods were a little late, please use the four seniors slowly, and say goodbye. ”

"Wait. ”

Sitting in a row inside the cell were five richly dressed men, all of whom were of different ages. The one on the far left has thick eyebrows and a long beard, a mouthful of yellow teeth, and his eyes are full of anger. To the right was a scrawny old man with sideburns, a pair of eyes glittering in his sunken sockets. In the middle is a very young man. The man's facial features are very neat, and his face is handsome, this person is the third prince of the demon world. To his right is a man with his head buried in his face that cannot be seen clearly, and on the far right is a middle-aged man with black fingernails and a slender scar on the corner of his mouth, and it is this person who speaks.

The scholar bowed to this man. "I wonder what Elder He commands?"

Elder He's face was expressionless, and the scar on the corner of his mouth looked eerie and terrifying in the dim light.

"When will the Demon Emperor let me out?" The four of us and the Third Prince have been imprisoned here for more than a year, I wonder if the Demon Prince still remembers the original agreement?" After finishing speaking, the other four all looked at the scholar.

Goodbye, scholar. "The Demon Emperor and his subordinates said that when I fought between the Second Demon Realm and the Three Realms of Immortals, Gods, and Buddhas, it was the time for the four seniors and the Third Prince to go out. According to the current situation, the five seniors will be able to go out in less than three months. ”

"Why?" spoke the young and handsome man in the middle. "Scholar Bai Xiao, but there is an abnormality in the Three Realms?"

"Tell the three princes, exactly. Don't hide it from the three princes, a feast in the five hundred years of the Three Realms has been opened two hundred years in advance, and there will be half a year before the feast. Not only that, but the Buddha Realm has sent a Bodhisattva to build a treasure temple on an island in the void ocean thousands of miles south of this place, the purpose of which we don't know yet. ”

"It's just a branch hall here, so it shouldn't have much impact. Hehe, I think those old things in the Buddha world are playing tricks. It was the scrawny old man with sideburns who spoke, and his voice was hoarse, as if every word came out of his throat with great force.

"Alright, you go down first. We are guilty, and it is inconvenient for us to communicate with you for too long. ”

"The third prince Xie understands, I have delivered the goods, and my subordinates have retired. After finishing speaking, Bai Xiao Shusheng left with two spirit beasts.

In addition to the three princes and the man who was still buried in the prison, the other three all **** stared obscenely at the scarf who fell to the ground in front of them.

"The two elders should not be impatient, this girl is the living body of the medicine worm that I want to refine, don't break it. The scrawny old man spoke before he suppressed the lustful thoughts in the hearts of the two of them a little.

"Don't worry, Elder He and I are just playing, and when we have had enough, we will hand her over to you. ”

The scrawny old man only smiled and said nothing else. Hearing this, Jin Yuan couldn't help but shed tears, and she didn't even have the strength to speak, so she bit her lip, and the blood went down the corner of her mouth into the ground.

"I want to live! I must live! I want to live!" said silently in her heart, as if she wanted to engrave this sentence into her bone marrow.

At this moment, among the clouds tens of thousands of meters above the prison, a blue bird swept by. The tail feathers of the bluebird are slender, the beak is raised above the colorful crest, and a pair of wing feathers grow a slender down feather, and the down feathers are blue-green in color. The bluebird is extremely fast, and it looks like a green aurora from a distance.

The bluebird flew in a northwesterly direction, and soon the ancient hall underneath was too small to be seen anymore. The blue bird flew for three days, and had already flown over the source of the Chong Yan River, and then swept over Kunlun, the mountain of the gods, and then flew to the sky above the endless forest, where the forest was dense, and some big trees skyrocketed higher than the immortal trees of Shushan.

And this place is the dark forest with a history of 10,000 years, the dark forest is the holy land of the spirit world, and almost every elf and spirit beast in the spirit world is cultivated here.

The bluebird swooped downward, and then spun around to avoid the dense foliage flying through the forest. The forest is full of aura, plants are flourishing, and there are many kinds of elves and spirit beasts. Where the bluebird swept by, the grass swayed on the ground, as if to welcome the bluebird. Some mushrooms that had been hiding in dense bushes have shown their heads, attracting many colorful butterflies.

The bluebird flew under a giant tree and put away the wings that the bluebird was most proud of, and then the bluebird appeared around the bluebird, one by one like bubbles in the water. It receded its feathers and gradually transformed into a graceful and beautiful woman.

In front of the woman, the vines crisscrossed the forest, and the vines wrapped around the trunk of one of the trees surrounded by hundreds of people and spread out in all directions, resembling a spider's web. Suddenly, the vines began to swim up the huge trunk and gather together, and the last giant face formed by the vines came to light. The giant face looked at the humanoid bluebird that was almost a little smaller underground.

"The pheasant greets grandpa. "The bluebird's voice is bright but not sharp, nice but not tired.

"Pheasant, have you come all the way to the Dark Forest to be homesick?" the giant face's voice was low, like thunder.

"Grandpa, the pheasant is really homesick, but what I miss the most is grandpa. The pheasant smiled like a flower, and jumped briskly to the roots of the tree thicker than her waist, holding the roots and caressing them gently, her fair face was attached to the roots, and her face was full of warmth and intoxication. Her eyes were closed, and time seemed to stand still in this moment.

"Hey, what about Brother Wolf, and Granny Hua and those little ones, and the fat balls aren't there, and ......," the pheasant asked suddenly.

"Alright, little blue bird, my ears can't stand your long list of questions. ”

"Grandpa is starting to annoy the pheasant, and the pheasant ignores you. After speaking, the pheasant deliberately turned away, but silently snickered.

At this moment, a fangs were exposed outside the mouth, and the giant wolf, which was nearly five feet tall, walked out of the forest, staring at the snickering blue bird with a pair of bright green eyes. The giant wolf stood up with a wolf howl, and the wolf hair around his body fell like petals and gradually faded, and soon turned into a muscular and toned man. The man had a handsome face, like a handsome and mighty human general. At the same time, the wolf's howl gradually receded in the forest.

After a while, the surrounding woods began to bustle with activity. More than a dozen fat-headed hedgehogs stuck their heads out of the grass, and a pair of large, round black eyes looked in the direction of the pheasant, while all kinds of bluebirds landed on the ground and gradually transformed into human shapes. In another place, a flower corolla was exposed, and the grass moved rapidly, and soon a black boar shook its fangs, and a flower on its head ran quickly through the woods. There are also mushrooms under the trees, popping their round heads out of the wet soil and sticking out of the grass.

At the same time, these elves and spirit beasts all ran to the pheasant, gathered around the pheasant, and for a while, the door was like a market, squeaking, so lively.

The first to walk to the pheasant was the wild boar with a flower on its head, and the wild boar stopped beside the pheasant and began to appear around the body, and then turned into a well-dressed boy with a flower in his hand. But that fat and round figure, wearing this luxurious clothes, the pheasant always felt very interesting when he saw it.

"Sister Pheasant, I have flowers, you have a story, would you like to have a long talk with you before the flowers?"

Suddenly, a strong hand pinched the fat man's big ears and pulled them fiercely. "You flower pig, don't you want to take advantage of the pheasant sister. ”

"Ouch, wolf fangs, you tap. The gentleman doesn't move his hands, ouch. ”

The green pheasant on the side smiled like a flower when she saw it, and her beautiful face added a layer of red.

"Sister Pheasant, Sister Pheasant. "It was a group of round-headed and fat-brained hedgehogs who had not cultivated enough to transform into a human form, but they had learned human language.

The pheasant squatted down and gently held the little ones in her arms. "You little guys, you haven't cultivated anymore, you can't transmogrify yet. After saying that, I kissed a few little guys on the face very lovingly. One of the more cunning hedgehogs patted the heads of all the hedgehogs around him. "Sister Pheasant, I will treat you as if I didn't see it this time, and when I get along with Sister Pheasant in the future, you are not allowed to do this. The hedgehog's righteous words are very serious, but in the eyes of the pheasant, he is very happy.

Suddenly, a group of people the size of the thumbs of mushroom heads jumped up and stomped on the head of the cunning hedgehog, and the little ones squeaked and didn't know what they were talking about.

All of a sudden, the pheasant was surrounded by elves and beasts, some of them taking on human forms, and some of them were their original forms. The bustle here also attracts countless colorful butterflies, which spin around them, and the picture is like a dream, which is breathtaking.

The faces of the vines on the trunk of the giant tree were laughed violently by this warm atmosphere, causing countless elves and spirit beasts under the tree to resound with a voice of concern.

"Ahem, ahem, it's okay, it's okay. Pheasant, how are you doing in Yongqing Palace?"

Hearing this, the pheasant put down the group of small things in her arms, her face became serious, and she hugged her fists and bowed to the giant face. "Grandpa, the pheasant is doing well in Yongqing Palace, but a few days ago, Yongqing Palace heard that the situation in the Second Realm of Demons and the Three Realms of Immortals, Gods, and Buddhas is getting worse and worse, and there are already signs of a big war. In addition, the feast of the three worlds of immortals, gods, and Buddhas opened half a year later, and the situation was even worse. The pheasant came back this time to report to his grandfather, hoping that his grandfather would prepare early. ”

Hearing this, the giant face shrank several tree vines on his forehead, like a human frowning. "I've also heard about this, but I didn't expect it to be true, it seems that the Eight Realms are going to have **** again. ”

The wolf-toothed sword brows of the man under the tree furrowed, and bowed to the giant face. "Grandpa, my spirit realm has nothing to do with the Seventh Class, so there is no need to get involved in it for their greed. ”

"The ugly wolf is right, grandpa. The flower pig on the side echoed the blue wolf. "I have no desires in the spirit realm, and now the seven black smoke miasma are all for their own interests, and they have never considered the balance of the eight realms, so if they want to fight, just let them go. ”

The giant face sighed softly when he heard this. "The eight worlds have different paths to the same end, and they are all connected by nature. Who is Dongming, as the previous Hades King, doesn't he also participate? Although he was born, he finally won the peace of the Eight Realms. Children remember that the outer realms of the Eight Realms are divided, and the inner reality is connected, but they are all concerned with their own strength and ignore the other realms. ”

As soon as this remark came out, all the elves and spirit beasts under the tree were discussed.

At the same time, the major dynasties of the human world, as well as the powerful families and sects, have all received news that the feast of the three worlds of immortals, gods, and Buddhas will start in half a year. Originally, the feast of the Three Realms was just a feast for the three worlds of immortals, gods, and Buddhas to select talents to share the blessings of heaven and earth, but since the War of the Eight Realms, it has gradually evolved into a meeting that not only selects talents to share the blessings of heaven and earth, but also becomes a meeting to discuss how to deal with the two worlds of demons and demons.

But this feast was different, this feast invited almost all the major forces of the Eight Realms to participate, even hostile forces. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to make infinite reverie from all walks of life except for the Three Realms, and there are even rumors that the Three Realms want to unite and unify the other five realms.

This kind of news exploded in the Second Realm of Demons, and the Demon Emperor and the Demon Lord gritted their teeth with hatred, and some demons who hated the three realms of immortals, gods, and Buddhas met the people of the Three Realms and went on a killing spree, and the situation in the Eight Realms began to become tense rapidly in just three days. The three worlds of immortals, gods, and Buddhas all go out to do things together. And some of the human races who followed the Three Realms were even more ruthlessly killed.

In this way, the Ghost Realm, which maintained a neutral attitude, was the first to be affected, and the number of Necromantic Beings in the Seven Realms rose diagonally in a short period of three days, with no tendency to ease. Yan Jun, who was in charge of the various continents, complained to the Hades King that the spiritual power consumption of the seven pieces and six roulette wheels was serious, and if the six roulette wheels fell like this, the necromancers would not be able to enter the six paths. Since then, the number of dead souls in the ghost realm has risen, and the yin qi of the Eight Realms has skyrocketed, which is the biggest disaster for the Eight Realms, the world has fallen into hell, and the dead have eroded the living souls and caused the number of dead spirits to increase and then break the balance of the Eight Realms to become great!

Now, four days have passed since the Blue Bird reported the Dark Forest. The seas connected by the seven continents began to be lively, and countless ships appeared on the sea in all directions, and they all sailed in one directionβ€”the Great Huang Dynasty. Below the sea surface is one of the scarce human races, the shark tribe, the upper half of the life of the shark tribe is human, and the lower half of the body has a fishtail, so it is called half a human.

There are very few people in the world who have seen the shark tribe, and when the lord of the Dahuang Dynasty received the news of the shark tribe's letter, he was also very surprised. The Giants and the Legs are not unusual, but this Shark Clan lives at the bottom of the sea and has little contact with the outside world, and the world knows very little about the Shark Clan. All of a sudden, the Dahuang Dynasty was lively. But in the eyes of the lord of the Great Huang Dynasty, the water can carry the boat or capsize the boat!

Now, in addition to the three worlds of immortals, gods, and Buddhas, all walks of life have turned their attention to them. But just a day ago, there was not a single news related to the feast in these three realms. The people of the Kunlun Mountain Divine Realm should cultivate and cultivate, and they should enter the Dao. And the Shushan Immortal Realm is peaceful, and all the disciples are cultivating and condensing qi, and the flying of the imperial sword is the norm. Turning to the Buddha world, practicing qi comprehension, and comprehending the Heavenly Dao, sitting on the Buddha and preaching the scriptures, there is no momentum of red dust, and there is no tense situation when the big war is approaching. Some Buddhists even lobbied and transmitted Buddhist scriptures in the mortal world to influence all walks of life to transcend sentient beings.

Buddhists do not hide or avoid demons when they encounter demons, and they do not hide or taboo, which has resolved many demon killings. Some demons have even become Buddhas and taken refuge in Buddhism under influence, but the Buddha realm has unexpectedly risen in this turbulent situation.

It's a pity that the world is impermanent, and this phenomenon has only exacerbated the tension in the other five realms, and all of them have tightened their heartstrings and are constantly searching for news from the three realms.

Now it is the fifth day after the Blue Bird reported the Dark Forest, and the mouth of the Qingjiang River in the west of the Great Huang Dynasty. The Qingjiang estuary is the outlet of the Qingjiang River into the Taichong Ocean, and it is also one of the famous ports of the Dahuang Dynasty. The sea is usually full of ships sailing in and out, and a medium-sized merchant ship is slowly heading towards the harbor.

The soldiers of the Dahuang Dynasty, who guarded the coast, marched in two rows according to the law, each armed with a spear and a saber at his waist. They were dressed in armor made of iron mountain armor spirit beast shells and diamond smelting, and they walked in order. The leading soldier divided two rows of foot soldiers into four columns and stood at the exit of the harbor, and on both sides of the harbor were soldiers in strong armor.

The soldiers who led the merchant ships to dock in the harbor waved the banner of the Dahuang Dynasty and directed the incoming merchant ships to stop at the port. Soon, the merchant ship docked smoothly. The sailor on the bed opened the door of the ship and lowered a heavy plank as a walk. Then an old man with white beard and sideburns walked down from the merchant ship, and the old man was followed by about 20 or so attendants, but he did not unload a single piece of commercial goods.

Seeing this, the head of the soldier at the other end of the harbor raised his eyebrows, waved his big hand, and the foot soldiers behind him were fully armed and surrounded the people who had disembarked from the merchant ship. The people who were surrounded were angry for a while, and they all touched their waists and looked at the old man in front of them. The old man turned around and shook his head, which made everyone retract their anger and remain normal.

The head of the soldier walked out of the foot soldier and entered the encirclement formed by the foot soldiers. "When you come to the merchant ship, and you don't see the merchant goods, please show your household registration card. ”

The old man with long beard and sideburns has a pointed face, a pair of white eyebrows like a sword, and a kind and amiable face. He stretched out his wrinkled hand, took out a turtleshell-like item from his bosom and handed it to the soldier.

The head of the soldier took a look and saw that the turtle shell was engraved with a pattern that looked like a fish but not a fish. Suddenly, the head of the soldier angrily pulled out the saber at his waist, and the sharp blade almost touched the old man's neck. Seeing this, everyone behind the old man instantly pulled out the weapons on their waists, and these weapons had never been seen before. At the same time, the soldiers behind the head of the soldier also pointed their spears at the people behind the old man. And those soldiers who stood guard in two rows instantly formed a row, blocking the exit of the port, and the atmosphere of the port instantly froze in a few breaths.

The old man's expression was not in a hurry, and he turned around and motioned for everyone behind him to put down their weapons, and everyone hesitated for a while before withdrawing their weapons, but all of them were tense. It can be said that as long as the blade of the soldier's head dares to get closer to the old man's neck, this crowd will kill him as soon as possible.

After the old man persuaded everyone behind him to retreat, he respectfully bowed to the soldiers. "This official, it doesn't matter if you don't know this thing, you can ask your garrison general or his adjutant to come here and recognize it. ”

The soldier frowned, thought for a while, and then ordered a foot soldier beside him to go back and call someone. After a while, a man wearing a military helmet and a cloak on his shoulders, and walking in heavy armor walked loudly. At his side was an old man who looked like a strategist. After the soldiers saluted the two, the head of the soldier handed the turtle shell handed by the old man to the general.

The general took the turtle shell and looked at it for a while, his expression changed, and then he carefully looked at the people in front of him, and it took a while to return the turtle shell to the old man.

"Release. ”

After thanking the general and the soldiers, the old man quickly left with everyone.

After everyone left, the head of the soldier smiled and pulled the strategist next to the general aside. "I said, Master Li, what is the origin of this passer-by, General Chen is so polite to them?"

Li Moushi stroked his beard with a smile. "Shark. With just a word, he turned around and left with the general.

The old man and his entourage left the port and went up the Qingjiang River bank. Among them was a woman walking in the middle of the crowd, but the woman was dressed as a man, her delicate skin contrasting with the gray fabric. The woman's eyes looked around for a long time, and after confirming that it was safe, she said to the old man who led the way in front: "Elder Tingli, see that it will rain in about three days in this weather, we have to go on the road overnight and rush to Huangcheng as soon as possible, I am worried that some people in the sea will be unfavorable to us." ”

Thorn Li lowered the hat slightly, and said softly: "Princess, please rest assured, we will swear to protect the princess's safety." ”
