When Zhao Huang walked out of the Yongcui Divine Tree with Ruomu, more than half a year had passed, and the outside world had also undergone great changes.

The most important thing is that He Qingchen, the left minister of the Xiong Kingdom, passed away half a year ago. Emperor Xiong ordered a thick burial and posthumously sealed it, which was extremely honorable.

Although the world inevitably slanders him, it cannot be denied that he let the country of Xiong go through a difficult period of time in the turmoil after the drastic change in Dongshengdu, and with vigorous and resolute skills, the country is back on track, and even reborn.

Even the emperor of Youxiong State, who was able to govern himself, also expelled public opinion at the court meeting and praised He Qingchen for his reinvention.

At the same time, the young emperor who assumed the power of the country did not overturn the arrangements made during He Qingchen's lifetime. Although the army fighting on the southern Turkish front was temporarily suspended due to the death of Prime Minister Zuo, the court of Youxiong did not lose its pace because of this, and the central government of the DPRK performed its duties to ensure that the first battle of Pingnan was properly closed.

There is a bear country's strategy for the Jiuli country, which is still to isolate the Shengyu Valley. After defeating several troops and horses that intended to gallop to the Shengyu Valley, the whole Jiuli Kingdom had no desire to fight, and the number of surrenderers and submissions increased day by day, and even those who fled from the Shengyu Valley.

According to the people who fled, after the high priest Li Chun was seriously wounded, he repeatedly ordered the soldiers and horses in the valley to break out, but nothing was achieved except for the loss of the army.

In the days that followed, Li Chun's temperament gradually changed, and when he was slightly displeased, he lashed out at his subordinates and concubines, even to the extent that he was addicted to alcohol and ignored government affairs. This made the people in the Shengyu Valley panic, and everyone knew that the Jiuli country was about to run out.

Something even worse happened not long ago, one of the Southern Earth Demon Gods, who claimed to be the Lord of the Heavenly Dragon, was jointly killed by the Four Immortal Princes of Shangjing Sect, and the entire Old Master Mountain was burned into charcoal by the sparks and collapsed.

And the centipede head of the Dragon Lord was even more spread to the Quartet, announcing that the demon gods of the southern land had been ambushed. Some tribes that have escaped the control of the demon god have also chosen to belong to the bear country after discussion.

The bear kingdom issued seals to these newly annexed tribes, and still maintained the old feudal rule, allowing the local chieftains to be hereditary, and did not vigorously change the system and customs, and did not require them to pay taxes.

However, after discovering the Great Plains formed by the fall of the stars in the depths of the southern soil, the Bear Kingdom issued a separate decree to allow the relocation of people from various tribes and villages to settle here, and the Bear Kingdom would also provide agricultural tools and cattle to help build the city and water conservancy. However, the people who have moved here must be included in the household registration, follow the laws of the country, and follow the plan left by He Qingchen, step by step.

It can be seen from this that the Youxiong Kingdom has planned to gradually annex the southern land, and the Jiuli Kingdom has gradually died out in the process, leaving only the Shengyu Valley and a few sporadic places of resistance, which is nothing more than relying on the strong city walls to resist stubbornly, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely destroyed.

In addition to these major events, it is necessary to count the Huaxu State Grand Sima Luoyi to be conceded by Zen, rightfully take power, change the name of the country to Dongyang, and establish Luo Xixian as the crown prince.

But today's Dongyang Kingdom only has half of the eastern soil, and it is not strong and prosperous. Although he once withstood the advance of Chiyundu, the situation did not improve, and he was ridiculed by all parties in the world, saying that Luo Yi's move was just to bully the young and weak lord of Huaxu, seek to usurp the throne, and win the country unjustly.

However, Luo Yi did not sit still, he took the initiative to make friends with Rong Di north of Panlong Mountain, and spent money and goods to borrow a team of soldiers and horses, including hundreds of white cashmere people.

The white velvet people are not extraordinary people, they are similar to the people of Yimu who invaded Xingluo County at the beginning, they are all descendants of the ancient Longbo people, they inhabit the northern Xinjiang ice field all the year round, they are two or three feet tall, their beards are white, and they can drum cold wind, frost and snow when they open their mouths.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a northern Xinjiang Rongdi to climb the towering Panlong Mountain. However, in the past, Dongshengdu changed drastically, causing the collapse of Panlong Mountain, the change of landform, and the opening of several canyons that could be used by large armies and horses, which enabled Luo Yi to borrow troops from the northern frontier. With the help of the soldiers and horses of the northern frontier, the Dongyang Kingdom was able to hold on to the Chiyun Capital.

These things are all known by Zhao Xiao after he got out of the customs, he was in the Yongcui Temple, and he sensed the number of heaven and earth.

Now that Zhao Xiao and Ruomu are sympathetic, they are in the Yongcui Temple, and they can also know things thousands of miles away. However, any major changes and large-scale killings often lead to changes in the number of qi, as if the hanging bell between heaven and earth is ringing itself, which is easy for people to see at a glance.

And because of the cultivation of the realm, if someone in the world mentions the name of Zhao Xiao, he will also have a subtle feeling, comparable to Liang Tao back then.

It's just that this kind of naming induction is strong and weak. People close to Zhao Xiao, such as the disciples of Yunyan Peak, are closely connected with qi, even if they are blocked by thousands of mountains and rivers, Zhao Huang can sense and see it in his thoughts, as if he is there in person.

But if it is someone who has nothing to do with Zhao Xiao, he can only have a fuzzy sense, and it is also limited by distance. More importantly, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to be sensed.

"It's a trace of your stay in this world."

After some charming, Zhao Xiao talked about his recent confirmation while sparse Ruomu's hair, and Ruomu explained:

"Your name, your exploits, everything you do, will leave a mark on this world. You occupy a place within others and are destined to form an invisible connection with you. ”

"Qi number hooks and bears a heavy burden, these may not be good things for immortal immortal immortals." Zhao Xiao turned to ask, "Do the gods of your hometown value this connection very much?" ”

Wakaki said softly, "Yes, we are happy to open our hearts to our gods, only in this way can we accommodate the wisdom of the gods, listen to the teachings of the gods, and hope to be chosen by the gods." ”

Zhao Xiao paused: "I also saw a similar statement in the Taoist scriptures, but we are called people here. The cave lord chooses the breeders, makes their names note the jade book, and when the earthly life is exhausted, he will lead the soul to ascend into the cave sky, be reborn, and stay in the cave heaven for eternity, and rank in the Dharma Palace. ”

"The gods of your world seem to be very order-oriented?" Wakaki asked.

"Order? Is it? "In Zhao Xiao's eyes, although the Immortal Family Cave Heaven has its own law, there are also thousands of true saints and immortal generals, which seem to be the same as the earthly court.

However, after the general control of the Qingya Immortal Realm, Zhao Xiao found that this was not the case at all, even if it was a law general who had been introduced, he was also calm and calm in the cave sky, and the Dongtian immortal family must have no significant status.

Zhao Xiao, as the god of the cave, although he was regarded as a master by Hengbi Gong and other generals, he was by no means a monarch and a minister to each other, and he could not say that he was a master and an apprentice.

"The Dongtian Immortal Family and the Sect Truths are more like like-minded people on the road, nothing more than the order of hearing the Tao and the depth of cultivation." Zhao Yan said: "Maybe we have a different understanding of order, and the Dongtian Immortal Family's summoning of thousands of true saints must also conform to the inheritance law, rather than treating them as servants and driving them at will. It's mine...... A teacher once made a similar mistake and ended up in a state of total destruction. ”

Wakaki asked, "Is your teacher also a god?" ”

"He died on his way to becoming a god." Zhao Xiao said in Ruomu's style of words, caressing her long silver-white hair.

"Are you scared?" Ruomu turned around and looked straight at Zhao Xiao, his eyes deep.

Zhao Xiao pondered for a moment: "I was afraid before, but now I understand, it's useless to be afraid." ”

"Your path has been presented, don't worry about it." Ruomu raised his hand and pressed it on Zhao Xiao's chest: "You just need to remember that my fate was saved by you, and you can always trust us." ”

"I know." As soon as Zhao Huang finished speaking, Ruomu gently hugged him, kissed him on the forehead, and the two hugged each other naked, like two intertwined trees.

The Yongcui Sacred Tree seems to have a sense, and the branches and leaves shake briskly, sprinkling a little rain. Within the enchantment of Yongcui Temple, the fairy music between heaven and earth is rippling and vibrant, and a group of mountain ghosts cheer and stretch out their hands to bear the rain from the sky, so as to bathe their bodies.

Just as Zhao Xiao and Ruomu were about to enter the Great Perfection realm, they sensed that the jade tree scepter outside the Yongcui Temple suddenly became quiet and shook itself.

"Someone else is coming." Ruomu showed a hint of helplessness: "The gods who favor you don't want you to enjoy this leisure." ”

Zhao Xiao had no choice but to pull out, and said with a wry smile: "I am not destined to be a person who enjoys leisure, at least not now." ”

After changing clothes and combing, Zhao Xiao came to the outside of Yongcui Temple. During the days of Ruomu's deduction and sympathetic double cultivation, the Yongcui Temple enchantment was isolated from the inside and outside, and no outsiders were allowed to enter. The Yushu scepter left outside replaced Zhao Huang's eyes and ears, and those who had the fate to know the opportunity naturally knew that they had to pass on the scepter.

In fact, no one took the initiative to find Zhao Huang these days, although many people came and went outside the Yongcui Temple, and some people tried to break the enchantment, but they all returned in vain, and few people were even able to discover the existence of the Yushu Treasure Staff.

However, the person who appeared this time was standing directly next to the Yushu Treasure Staff, watching Zhao Xiao appear and walk out with great interest.

"You're so proud and radiant now." As soon as Jiang Yingke came up, he quipped, obviously seeing through Zhao Xiao's experience.

"You can't hide anything from the immortals." Zhao Xiao bowed.

"Hehe, I'm not that staked, the master told me." Jiang Yingke readily admitted.

"Lord? He's really keeping an eye on the Eternal Emerald Sacred Tree! Zhao Xiao was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he was not surprised.

Jiang Yingke was surprised: "Originally, it was the Outer Heaven Divine Tree used by the Ji Lord to settle the southern land veins of Zhenzhen, but it turned out to be abducted by you, you have to take responsibility." ”

In the past, Zhao Huang must have been ashamed in the face of this kind of words, but now that he has cultivated to a great progress, his state of mind is also a lot more transcendent: "It should be done, if you don't mention this matter, I will do it." But let me explain......"

Zhao Xiao taught himself the trick and made it clear that Wakaki was free from the shackles of the Divine Tree.

"Now the Yongcui Divine Tree is still rooted in thousands of miles of leylines, and the mountains and rivers in the south of Anzhen are connected to the netherworld, although there is not much intervention, it is actually the largest god of the earth in the southern soil of Kunlun." Zhao Xiao turned to ask, "But I still don't know something, why did Lord Ji place the Divine Tree in the southern soil back then?" Is it to avoid the turmoil in Middle-earth? ”

"There are considerations, but not mainly." Jiang Ying said politely: "Before I came here, I specially went to the Lieshan Spirit Cave to meet the Lord Ji, and he expected that you would ask about this. ”

The so-called Burning Mountain Spirit Cave must be the cave opened by the Ji Lord, Zhao Huang asked curiously: "What did the Ji Lord say?" ”

"That's what he said, ahem......" Jiang Yingke pretended to be a majestic elder, and his tone was heavy: "...... In the ancient times, the turbidity was undecided, the turbidity gas turned into a ferocity, and the epidemic was raging, I joined forces with several immortal colleagues to seal the ancient turbidity in all directions, and the Yongcui Divine Tree was placed in the southern soil to suppress the turbidity. ”

"There is still this past." Zhao Xiao muttered.

"Did you think of the primeval turbidity in the depths of the Huaxu Kingdom?" Jiang Yingke asked.

Zhao Xiao nodded and said, "I heard that some ancient demons and evil spirits sprung out from the depths of the earth crack, and they should have also been transformed by the primeval turbidity, and they have not been killed all of them so far. ”

"Actually, you've already killed this kind of ancient demon that was transformed by turbidity, you may not be impressed." Jiang Yingke raised his chin slightly: "I'll give you a hint, that demon's lair is in the southern soil." ”

"Me?" Zhao Xiao pointed to himself, and soon thought of the Fall of the Star: "Could it be the King of Red Plague?" ”

"Exactly!" Jiang Ying said politely: "Although the lord of Ji arranged for the Yongcui Divine Tree to suppress the southern land veins, he could not completely curb the turbidity and stupidity, fortunately, the remote land was inhabited, and over time he turned into the king of red plague. If these demons are remote and remote, they will not be harmful, but if the people in the world are populated and touch each other, and the plague and filth are strong and undissolved, then they will become harmful things. ”

"Hasn't the Lord of the Grass thought about what to do with it?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Jiang Yingke said: "Have you ever thought that this is the test left by the master to the world? Mortals in the world open up mountains and forests, and they also have to face poisonous snakes, beasts, and smoke miasma plagues. In the face of these difficulties and obstacles, mortals must gather the strength and wisdom of all people to overcome and deal with them, so that this is the right way to humane civilization and break through ignorance, rather than relying on the great magic power of the immortal family to help them do everything. ”

"There is some truth in this, but when it is implemented, the Red Plague King still has to rely on great mana to destroy it." Zhao Yan said: "This kind of thing like a star falling from the sky cannot be solved by humane civilization alone. ”

"You haven't yet ascended to immortality, and before that, you were still one of the mortals in the world's eyes in the eyes of the Ji Lord." Jiang Yingke said unceremoniously.

"That's right." Zhao Xiao has always felt that many of his realizations came from ordinary people.

"Lord Ji also asked me to bring a message to the Spirit of the Divine Tree, if she has the Immortal Dao in the future, she can go to the Spirit Cave of the Burning Mountain to build a cave after ascending." Jiang Yingke stared at Zhao Huang and said with a smile: "But looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be necessary?" ”

"It's up to her to decide whether Wakaki's future ascension will take place." Zhao Huang said, in fact, now that Ruomu has been taught by Zhao Huang, it is not impossible to really ask for the Immortal Dao, but for Ruomu, she may not be able to abandon many people at will, at least let these mountain ghosts leave the sacred tree one after another, and then consider the future.

"All by name?" Jiang Yingke sighed with emotion: "If you are not good-looking, I originally thought that you didn't understand anything, but it seems that you are quite pleasing to the elders, especially the fairy." ”
