Chapter 19: The Ming Hall is convened
In this way, Jiao Qi recuperated in the [Shangling Courtyard] for half a month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At first, Mokpo would come to visit him every day in the evening, and the two peers naturally had a lot to say when they got together. Mu Pu would tell Jiao Qi some stories about their Mu clan, and Jiao Qi couldn't remember so many names, anyway, he only knew that Mu Pu had almost told the glorious deeds of the Mu envoys in their clan one by one.
Among them, the most mentioned by Mu Pu is the idol in Mu Pu's heart, the city lord of the seven birds of the forest, and according to Mupo, the seven spirit birds of the city lord of the forest seven birds of their Mu clan have their own magical powers, and they are all invited by the city lord when he traveled all over the world when he was young. Every spirit bird has great power. The slightest flick of the wings of some spirit birds will ignite a large sea of fire, and it will turn to ashes when touched. Some of the spirit birds were nowhere to be seen, and the wind was so strong that no one could catch up with them. And Mokpo's portrayal of Lord Hayashi is even more outrageous. All it takes is a glance from Lord Lin Xin of their Wood Clan, and his opponent will be transported to the bottomless purgatory, where he will be tortured for eternity, never to return to the world. Mupu gave this move a name, called Eye Kill, and deliberately opened his eyes wide to imitate Lord Lin Xin's seal spell. And so on and so forth.
Even though Jiao Qi had never seen much of the world, he could still hear a lot of nonsense from Mupu. But Jiao Qi is still happy to listen to Mupu talk about these strange things, because these are a new world for him. The more bizarre it is, the more curious and excited he becomes, and he can't help but want to see with his own eyes what the world will be like.
Jiao Qi didn't have any doubts about these exaggerated stories, but the way the Mu clan named it made Jiao Qi very strange, and he asked Mu Pu: "Since you are the same Mu clan as those Mu envoys, why are you surnamed Mu and they are all surnamed Lin?"
Mu Pu explained to Jiao Qi, "Our Mu Clan is very different from your Fire Clan. Our wood tribe has multiplied for generations, the ethnic group has a large population, and the family name is wood. Only the best of the clan has the opportunity to be appointed as a wooden envoy, and at the ceremony of being granted the status of a wooden envoy, the patriarch will personally give the surname Lin. Because of his outstanding ability, the city lord of Lin Qifowl is not only his surname, but his name is also given by the patriarch of our wood clan, Sen, when he became a wood envoy. ”
Jiao Qi thought to himself, "In that case, I was also given the surname and name by Boss Ding." Then he continued to ask: "Then you Mu clan all have the same surname, are you related to each other by blood?"
"Most of the clans are related to each other, and they can be more or less related. However, because the ethnic group is very large, although some people are also of the Mu clan, in fact, the blood relationship between them is very weak, so intermarriage within the clan is very common. Of course, we don't exclude outsiders, and it's okay if you want to marry into our Mu clan to be your son-in-law. Anyway, if you have this idea, I'll help you pay more attention from now on. I have several younger sisters, when will I have time to take you to get to know each other?" Mokpo said with a mischievous shake of his eyebrows.
Jiao Qi somehow suddenly appeared in his mind the appearance of the little girl who was following the fifth old gentleman, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Mu Pu only thought that he was shy by nature, and he was amused by his cowardice.
In the next few days, as Jiao Qi's body gradually recovered, the tingling sensation in his whole body disappeared, and he was able to move around again. Correspondingly, the frequency of Mokpo's visit to him became lower and lower, and then he disappeared directly. The last time he came to see Jiao Qi, his walking movements were a little unnatural, his right foot was injured, and he walked with the same limp as Jiao Qi before. Jiao Qi laughed at him for being infected by himself, and Mu Pu also smiled and said, "Then you come down, it's time for me to lie in bed this time." ”
Because Mupu had also talked to Jiao Qi about the [Spiritual Trial] before, Jiao Qi guessed that Mupu might be hurrying up to make some preparations for the [Spiritual Trial], after all, there was not much time left until next summer, so he didn't take this matter too seriously.
【Guiyuan City-Ming Hall Branch】
The five old gentlemen were sitting at the round conference table, and the group of people sitting at the same table included the chief of the guard of the Ming Hall [Four Elephant Court], as well as several officers of the Mu Clan, as well as the representatives of the four sects of [Ren], [Zhi], [Li], and [Yi], and everyone in the noisy environment was talking about the Seven Birds City without exception.
Among them, there was the five big and three thick Mu clan officers that Mu Pu had seen next to the teleportation circle in Guiyuan City that day-Mu Xiongnan.
And Mu Xiongnan, he and the other Mu clan general next to him are fighting for some reason.
The head of the guard of the Ming Hall [Four Elephant Court] stood up and raised his hand, and everyone gradually quieted down.
He opened his mouth and said: "Regarding the matter of Seven Birds City, there has been a lot of news in the market recently, and I believe everyone here has heard about it more or less. Today, the Ming Hall summoned everyone to come here to explain the latest progress of the investigation of the Seven Bird City.
Half a month has passed since the Hades Temple raided the Seven Bird City, and in this half a month, the Seven Bird City's teleportation array is still unusable. Reinforcements from the neighboring cities had arrived at Seven Fowl City ten days ago, and I had just received news from the front a few days ago that Seven Fowl City had been captured. “
As he spoke, a curtain of light lit up behind him, and the curtain of light showed what the reinforcements had seen and heard after they arrived in Seven Birds City. The city was full of hell after the insect swarm was raging, the seven towers in the center had all been reduced to a pile of ruins, the ground near it had also collapsed and broken into several pieces, and the huge bodies of several sandworms had half burrowed out of the ground and lay aside, no longer moving. The corpses of ordinary people, soldiers and flying ants can be seen everywhere, all over the entire Seven Birds City, and the picture is so miserable that people can't look at it directly.
Many of the people who attended the meeting had already heard about it, but when they saw such a naked and bloody picture with their own eyes, they still couldn't accept it for a while, and their expressions were different.
The face of the head of the Ming Palace's guard was also extremely heavy.
"After the Seven Birds City was raided by the Hades Temple half a month ago, several people led by the patriarchs of the Muhuo and Wood Fire clans went to support as soon as possible and suppressed the attack of the Hades Temple. However, not long after the patriarchs of the two clans left for their mission, the Hades Temple launched a second attack, and the Seven Birds City was then breached by the Hades Temple, and the whereabouts of the city lord Lin Qifowl were unknown. To this day, the patriarch of the Wood Clan, Sen and the newly appointed Patriarch Yan of the Fire Clan, are still in a state of disappearance, along with the accompanying Wood Clan's [Elephant Envoy] Lin Xin, and [Deer Envoy] Lin Xia. Their last mission before they lost contact was to stop the Immortal from subduing the [Empty Ants]. “
The guard chief of the Ming Hall paused for a moment, and then continued: "What's worse is that for some unknown reason, the [Divine Mountain] of the Wood Clan is now completely closed. All the spirit beasts of the Wood Clan are no longer able to summon or withdraw from the [Sacred Mountain], and the directional teleportation circles that go to the [Sacred Mountain] in various places are also unable to operate. And the previous Seven Bird City was captured, which meant that the [Wood Spirit Bead] also fell into the hands of the enemy. According to our inference, it is very likely that Hades wants to use the same methods as the Fire Clan nine years ago, but this time the target is the [Sacred Mountain] of the Wood Clan. ”
The fifth old gentleman's face sank, on the one hand, he was obviously very dissatisfied with Ming Dian's straightforward and undisguised words. Strictly speaking, to this day, there is no definite evidence to prove that it was the Fire Clan that carried out the massacre of the Water Tribe, and the Five Old Men have always been suspicious of this. On the other hand, what the commander of the Ming Palace Guard said is indeed very reasonable. [Sacred Mountain] is the holy place of the Mu Clan, and even the Mu Clan people have to go through a lot of difficulties and dangers if they want to visit the holy land in person. If the enemy is indeed in the [Sacred Mountain] now, and the teleportation circle cannot be used, how can they stop the conspiracy of the Hades. For a while, everyone was also talking and worried. But the fifth old gentleman was not very worried, since the Ming Palace summoned them over, he naturally already had a countermeasure to deal with it.
Sure enough, the words spoken by the commander of the Ming Palace's guard below surprised everyone.
"But you don't have to worry, the Yongzheng Hall Lord of our Ming Hall has personally gone out to bring the projection to the [Divine Mountain], and the team of the [Four Elephant Garden] is also going to the front line day and night, and now they have all entered the [Divine Mountain]. “
Many generals of the Mu Clan were surprised, [Divine Mountain] as the holy land of the Mu Clan, if it wasn't for the formation traction, even the people of the Mu Clan might not be able to find it, and the team of the Ming Hall had already sneaked in so quickly.
"I also have a very important thing to inform you, we have reviewed the memories of many civilians who successfully escaped from Seven Birds City and the surviving Wood Clan soldiers, combined with the information provided by the reinforcements after investigating on the spot. It was finally confirmed that Mu Wei, the chief general of the Eastern War Department of the Mu Clan, and his war department, Lin Qiyu's adjutant [Dragon Envoy] Lin Tong and his personal guards jointly assisted in the siege of the Hades Temple. The Ming Palace immediately issued a wanted notice for them, regardless of life or death. “
As soon as these words came out, all the people present gasped and looked at each other. The entire venue was as silent as death, and everyone didn't know what to say, and the generals of the Mu clan had already known about it, and they were even more speechless.
Only the fifth old gentleman did not react, it was not the first time he had experienced such a scene. All this was all too familiar to him, as if the old dream of nine years ago was repeating itself. The fifth old gentleman couldn't help but think at this moment, how good it would be if this was really a dream.
Finally, the commander of the Ming Temple's guard glanced at everyone and said, "All of you here, I want to say that the Hades Temple is no longer the ridiculous alliance formed by exiled fugitives who have betrayed their dreams and abandoned their conscience. Hiding and hiding, firing a shot for a cannon, secretly dreaming of subverting the world. Now they have enough to stand up to us head-on. Although I have always believed that people are good and that justice will eventually triumph over evil, we cannot afford to wait for this "after all". We have lost the City of Seven Fowls, and the Temple of Hades has grown to such a state, and more and more treacherous people continue to join them. With each additional day, Hades becomes more aggressive and reckless. It's time to get rid of the cancer of the Hades Temple once and for all, if we don't destroy them as soon as possible, then the only thing that awaits us is destruction!"
His words rang loudly, and the flame quietly ignited in everyone's hearts at this moment.
