Chapter 66 The heart is unpredictable
The Demon Terrace is located in the southeast of the human continent, the terrain is flat and open, bounded by a Suolong River that traverses the entire region, on it is the Ten Thousand Demon Forest with lush trees and monsters, and below it is the territory where the Zhong clan has lived for generations.
The Demon Terrace has been prosperous since ancient times, and its overall strength is only below the Sword Island and the Sword Domain. The Demon Marquis Zhongqi has been at the high level of the Seven Spirits Realm for a hundred years, and I don't know if his strength has reached its peak in the current prosperous world.
Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing planned to cross the Longzong Demon Platform around the Suolong River, and then travel all the way north to the easternmost Spirit Pavilion and Juxiang Tower, and then go west through the Fire Hall to the Fengyuan, and then return to the Wooden Pavilion in a circle.
Lu Moqing followed behind Liu Shanlin and asked, "You didn't go to the Sword Domain to look for her?" ”
Liu Shanlin looked ahead and said, "I want to go to the Sword Domain at the end." ”
"Are you afraid that your realm is too low to be worthy of others?" Lu Moqing quickened his pace and walked side by side with Liu Shanlin.
Liu Shanlin nodded and said softly: "I will definitely catch up." ”
The Suolong River is about 50 meters wide, and the river water is mixed with huge sediment and presents a chaotic yellow. Every spring and summer, the river rushes and rains for a few days, and the river rises to the shore, destroying the crops below the Suolong River.
During the summer rainy season, flooding occurs in some low-lying towns. Fortunately, in recent years, the rainy season has been scarce, and a high stone dam has been built on the shore. As a result, the people of the surgeon located near the Suolong River were able to live and work in peace and contentment.
Liu Shanlin and the two walked all the way, only to see some low mountains and rivers, if compared to their hometown Muge and the mountains between the ground, it would look petite and cute. In addition to these mountain bags, the bottom of the Suolong River is flat as far as the eye can see. The air was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers and plants, and from time to time the roar of monsters came from the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.
Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing didn't travel long before they came to a bustling and lively town, it was noon, the city gate was closed, and many sorcerers in battle armor were sitting on top of the colorful tiger patrolling the city wall.
Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing's bodies lit up with cyan and yellow light, and they clenched their fists towards the city wall.
"My name is Liu Shanlin, and I'm from Muge."
"My name is Lu Moqing, and I'm from the ground."
A person on the city wall squinted his eyes, and after probing the two of Liu Shanlin with his magic thoughts, he waved his hand, and the city gate was opened, and Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing walked into it.
As soon as you enter the city, the lively atmosphere will come to your face. The streets are wide, crowds of people are crowded, and the shouts are endless. Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing walked into it, and from time to time they heard discussions about whether the Sword Princes had fallen.
"Do you say that the Sword Lord has really fallen?"
"I heard that there is a sword mound in that mountain, the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, and the corpse qi is everywhere, and no one has ever entered it. Even if the Sword Princes didn't die, if they were seriously injured and fell into it, they would probably have already been shattered. ”
"Didn't we get up and rush to that mountain not long ago, hoping to find the body of the Sword Prince."
"What do you say! It's the Sword Prince, who brought back a seriously injured sword! ”
"I hope so, I hope so."
"If there is no sword prince in the world, how can you compete with the demon world."
Hearing this, Liu Shanlin couldn't help but interject: "Even though the Demon Emperor is powerful, it may not be an invincible existence. There are countless sorcerers in the world, and there will always be strong ones who can fight against them. ”
"What the little brother said is reasonable." A sorcerer who stopped and dressed plainly said, "But dare to ask who can defeat the Demon Emperor in a hundred days, and who can stop the footsteps of the demon world in a hundred days?" ”
Everyone around stopped and looked at the willow forest.
Liu Shanlin said after clasping his fists slightly to a few people: "Even if you are temporarily invincible, it does not mean that you will be invincible in the future, as long as the human sorcerers work together and always have an unyielding heart in their hearts, how dare the demon world be so rampant in the human world." ”
"The problem is in people's hearts." A man lying on the back of a sparrow said, "The human heart is the most elusive thing in the world." ”
Liu Shanlin looked at it intently, and swept it, the man should be the same age as Lu Moqing, he looked weakly crowned, wearing a black robe, with silver patterns embroidered on his chest and sleeves. At this moment, he was lying on the back of a human-sized sparrow, and his face was leisurely.
Someone around recognized him and said, "It's the Bell Tower!" A bell tower with the blood of an ancient bird! ”
Only then did Liu Shanlin move his gaze to the Hongque under the young man.
The Hongque is a relatively old kind of monster, in which the bloodline has long been diluted by the years, and there are very few who can have the bloodline of the ancient Hongque, and I can't imagine that the boy is lucky enough to get one.
I saw the young man sitting down Hongque's whole body feathers were bright red, the beak was pointed and long, the head was raised high, two long cyan feathers grew on both sides of the head, the wings were closed on both sides, and the wings were luxuriant. When they got closer, a kind of coercion spontaneously manifested itself from the spontaneous spontaneous appearance of the sparrow.
Liu Shanlin retracted his gaze, thought for a moment and said: "I believe that everyone in the world will have a mirror heart, able to distinguish between good and evil, and right and wrong. ”
The young man known as the Bell Tower shook his head and said, "That's just what you believe." ”
Lu Moqing stepped forward and asked, "Then what should I understand?" ”
Zhong Lou put his hands behind his head and said, "Follow the development of the world." ”
Liu Shanlin didn't say anything more, and walked slowly past the young man, and the Hongque under the young man also moved his steps and left slowly.
The way of the world can be changed by the will of man, provided that he himself has great power. Liu Shanlin clenched his fists and let go, in the final analysis, strength and cultivation realm are the fundamentals that can affect the trajectory of the world.
Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing walked all the way to take a look, and finally settled in an inn in an alley. The inn is not big, only a calculating Xiao Er and a girl who is called around are busy working in the inn.
The girl was dressed plainly, and her clothes were patched, but she still had a nice smile on her face. After she led Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing to their respective rooms, she hurried away.
Lu Moqing stopped in Liu Shanlin's room, poured a cup of tea and drank it to himself, Liu Shanlin sat next to him and asked, "Haven't recovered yet?" ”
Lu Moqing shook his head and said, "The truth is right in front of me, I have to believe it." I just don't understand why this is happening. Even if it is for your own benefit, you can't put the world in this situation. ”
Liu Shanlin patted Lu Moqing on the shoulder, he knew that although Lu Moqing had been hurt by this world since he was a child, he didn't resent anyone, he just wrapped himself up and always guarded the beauty and kindness in his heart.
"Human desires are endless, and the more people stand on the top of the mountain in this prosperous world, the more they want to gain, and the more they are afraid of losing." Liu Shanlin slowly took a sip of tea.
"Then what's the point of our practice?" Lu Moqing asked.
Liu Shanlin put down the teacup and said: "In order to survive in this world, don't be swept away by the world......"
Lu Moqing was silent.
At this time, there was a quarrel downstairs that pulled the two of them back to their thoughts.
Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing walked out of the room, stood by the wooden fence and looked down.
I saw that Xiao Er, who had been calculating before, blocked the girl behind him, and he kept apologizing in front of the two fierce-looking men.
The two big men both had thick eyebrows and big ears, and their eyes were fierce and vicious, and they kept shouting, "Let your shopkeeper come out, you must give an explanation today." ”
Xiao Er, who looked like a teenager, kept bowing and said, "She didn't mean it, she didn't mean it." I hope the two adults don't worry about her. ”
"I don't have to worry about her, you just call your shopkeeper out." The man sat back in his chair and looked around the inn.
"The shopkeeper is out. Why don't you give this meal to the two adults, and don't tell the shopkeeper about it? ”
The two big men looked at each other and laughed, and then the two of them poured a sip of wine, overturned the table, and the big man threw Xiao Er and the girl against the wall with one in one hand.
Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing jumped down quickly and caught Xiao Er and the girl.
Liu Shanlin looked at the big man who was stuffing the silver taels into his sleeve at the counter and said, "You dare to do such a robber thing in broad daylight, how can you have the guts." ”
The man stopped his movements, looked at Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing and said, "Don't meddle in things, who will pay attention to these things in the world today." I see that the two of you are also cultivators, so I will let you live today, if you are nosy, our fists will not be long-sighted. ”
Lu Moqing stepped forward and said, "Oh? Let me see how it doesn't grow long. ”
As soon as the man raised his arm, his body flew out upside down, and just when the man was about to hit the table and chair of the inn, Lu Moqing appeared behind him and jumped out of the inn with him.
After a while, a miserable cry came from the alley, and Liu Shanlin hurriedly covered the ears of the boy and girl, and glanced at the other man.
When the man saw Liu Shanlin looking at him, he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "The young man spares his life, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the little one is also to support his family." ”
Liu Shanlin ignored him and shouted outside: "Pay attention to proportion." ”
After a while, the wailing voice of the men outside gradually decreased. Lu Moqing walked in and slowly walked in the direction of another man.
The man spared his life again and again, and the arrogance at the beginning was gone.
As soon as Liu Shanlin wanted to say a few words for the man, Lu Moqing rushed to the man's side and kicked the man outside the inn.
The wailing sounded and Liu Shanlin could only cover the ears of the young man and girl again.
The young man and girl who was covered by Liu Shanlin covered one ear glanced at each other, and then showed a grim smile.
Liu Shanlin felt the situation outside with his magic thoughts, and did not notice the young girl.
When Liu Shanlin's heart tightened, and an uneasy emotion surged up, two sharp daggers pierced Liu Shanlin's chest, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Liu Shanlin looked at the boy and the boy in disbelief, his body slowly retreated, and then fell in a pool of blood.
Lu Moqing sensed that something was wrong, quickly entered the inn, stepped forward to help up Liushanlin who had fallen to the ground, and the soul mist frantically poured into Liushanlin's body.
