Chapter 258: Black Arowana (1)
After the decision to go to Yu'a Mountain was decided, the entire Black Rock City was busy.
This trip is simple, but in fact, it is not easy to survive in the gap between the demon army and the demon aversion, and the demons who follow the hairpin must be a loyal person with excellent morality, intelligence, physical beauty, and beauty. The old department that the first demon king Ghost Diaotang relied on the most was exterminated by the sect as early as after the Great War of Man and Demon, and the remaining part of them had some ability, and they died under the hands of the crazy ghost who killed the madness two years ago. So much so that now all that remains is a group of crooked melons and cracked dates...... No, the remnants of the army are weak, there is a huge Black Rock City, and if you want to pick out a hundred elite soldiers, it is much more difficult than the assessment of the Taiyan sect.
Xiao Shuang took the trouble to check the list of demons traveling with Hairpin Star over and over again: "Your Royal Highness, these candidates have all been screened out after Her Highness the Demon Queen has seen them. This time the accompanying demon army, cultivation and intelligence are secondary, and the most important thing is loyalty. It is the first time that His Royal Highness has led people out of the Demon Realm, if someone puts a cold arrow behind his back...... he didn't continue.
Although most of the people in the Demon Realm are not from the Jiang faction, there are also a small number of extremists who are willing to support the Demon Misanthropy to dominate the Three Realms and secure the position of the Lord of the Three Realms of the Demon Realm. If one of them is mixed in and stabs the hairpin in the back at a critical time, it will be worth the loss.
Hairpin Xing was filling the Qiankun bag with something, and said yes with a "uh-huh-hmm".
The sick man came over, and before Hairpin could speak, the young man in Tsing Yi had red eyes, and he cried so much that he was crying: "Your Royal Highness, you must take care of your body when you go here, I heard that the place in Yu'e Mountain is very evil...... If it weren't for my poor health, I would definitely go with His Highness. He shook his hand and took out a peace charm from his arms: "This is a peace charm given to me by my mother, and I will give it to Your Royal Highness to protect your safety." ”
Hairpin Xing took the little white bag, which was embroidered with the word 'peace' with red silk thread, and she smiled: "Thank you." "The heart said that it can be pulled down, if the disease really wants to go with him, she has to rub the blood he coughs all over the ground along the way, and he can't walk to Yu'e Mountain for ten years.
"Your Highness," the comb girl handed over a slender concentric knot, "the subordinate cut a bundle of his own hair and braided it into a knot." She smiled shyly and timidly: "This is a piece of the heart of the subordinates, and His Royal Highness must accept it." ”
Hairpin Star: "......" always felt very guilty.
The contents of the bag were not yet fully filled, and a red basket fell to the side. The fire spirit in the Heavenly Fire Basket had been burned out in the Polar Ice Abyss, and now it was an empty basket, and the hairpin was still considering whether to leave this basket in the Chaos Temple, and the Lamp Blower had already picked up the basket and put three ghost lamps in it. His voice was sweet and greasy, and he said: "Your Royal Highness, this trip, there is no subordinate to hold the lamp for you, and it is inevitable that it will be a little darker when you walk at night." The ghost lamp of his subordinates will not be extinguished at night, and with the ghost lamp, His Royal Highness will not be afraid of the dark. ”
It seems that lighting such a ghost fire in the middle of the night is more terrifying, but the hairpin still put the heavenly fire basket full of ghost lamps into the Qiankun bag: "Thank you, I need it." ”
The wine devil brought a jar of good wine, and the water monarch put a water-avoiding bead into the hairpin's hand, and the cable general was even better, and gave the hairpin star a hanging rope, although the meaning was not satisfactory, but the hairpin still accepted it and put it all into the Qiankun bag.
The group sent the hairpin star to the gate of the Black Rock City with thousands of instructions, and the hairpin star gave birth to a subtle illusion of the emperor going out on the expedition and the eighteen phases of the harem of the Manchu Dynasty.
Bu Jiang said: "Let's go." "He walked up to the bank of the river embankment with the hairpin.
In the mountains at the gate of Blackstone City, an extremely wide river is as wide as the sea, surrounding the entire Blackstone City. The water was as fast as an arrow, and the river was as dark as night. Huge waves came from afar, crashing on the embankment of the city gate, and the splash of water fell on the black stone, filling the meaning of decay.
Not surprisingly, if anyone walked through this place, they would be eroded into dry bones by the river in an instant.
Bu Jiang spread out her palm, and a black jar appeared in her palm, and when she opened the lid of the jar, a rich aura immediately filled the air.
"Grab a handful of things and throw them into the river." No, Jiang said to the hairpin.
Hairpin Xing did as he was told, and grabbed a large handful of black pills from the jar, this pill looked similar to the pill in the sect, but it was not Yuan Li attached to it, but magic power.
"This is ......" The hairpin star asked Bu Jiang on his side as he sprinkled it into the Styx.
"It's just fodder."
Fodder?
Before the hairpin could continue to ask, the turbulent river showed some changes. In the black river, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared, beating the flowing water as high as a city wall, and the whirlpool grew bigger and deeper from far and near, as if some giant beast was about to break through the water. Miya seemed to sense something, and walked around the hairpin uneasily, staring at the river below the wall.
"Whoa—"
From the bottom of the dark river, a huge black shadow suddenly broke out. Jumping in the air, and then quickly falling into the water, the waves stirred up by the river were like a sudden wind and rain, instantly wetting the people on the shore. The hairpin could only vaguely see a vast fishtail like a huge palace, and a pair of eyes with the size of a plaque.
She was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Oops, the phobia of giants is guilty.
"This is a black Arowana." Bu Jiang put the jar away: "When I took you back to Black Rock City before, for convenience, I didn't take the Arowana. However, there are many people in this trip, so it is faster to swim on the Arowana. She looked at the demons behind her: "Go up." ”
The black dragon fish swam to the bank of the Styx, and seemed to know that it was ugly, so it silently dived its head to the bottom of the water, revealing only the ridge of a small mountain. The spine of the fish is very wide, like a raised mountain range, and the demons go up in turn to find a place to climb it. Xiaoshuang walked beside the hairpin: "Your Highness, please." ”
Hairpin Xing looked at Bu Jiang, Bu Jiang nodded at her slightly, Hairpin Xing didn't say anything more, and hugged Mi Mi to the fish.
Xiaoshuang followed and walked up.
The dark waves of the river floated on the body of the fish, and the arowana slowly moved its dorsal fin, like a huge black ship sailing towards the sky, carrying everyone into the distance.
Bu Jiang's figure gradually condensed into a vague red dot, and disappeared from everyone's sight along with the Black Rock City behind him.
No, it looked more like a black ocean, with no end in sight, and even the sky above it was dyed gray by the black water. It looked dark and cold, like an old dream.
Only the pitch-black fish under him has become the only agility in this ocean.
Hairpin sat on the back of the fish by leaning on the fish's spine, Yami was very interested in the Arowana, and tried to shave the Arowana's back with his claws several times, but was stopped by the hairpin. If this is a person who can't capsize the ship, and before he can get out of the demon world, he will have to explain everything here, then it will really be a joke to say it.
The hairpin star asked the little pair next to him: "Has this Arowana always been so well-behaved?" Just a little fodder as a river crossing fee. It's grown so big, what if it attacks Blackstone City? What if it took us all over halfway? ”
Xiao Shuangzheng was looking at the Tao Tao River and laughed when he heard the words: "Your Royal Highness don't worry, the Arowana has a docile temperament and never hurts people." ”
"I know the truth, but it's so big......"
"Legend has it that in the old days, there was a dragon gate on the fairy mountain, and if the carp jumped over the dragon gate, it could turn into a dragon." Xiaoshuang thought for a moment: "As early as when the demon clan first opened, this black dragon fish lived in the Styx. At the beginning, the first few Demon Venerables tried to subdue the Black Arowana as a spirit beast but were unsuccessful, and later there was a Demon Venerable who occasionally threw the Demon Pill into the Styx River to attract the Arowana to come, and later, the Black Arowana became the protector of Black Rock City. When the two races of humans and demons were in a big war, it was the Arowana who transported batches of demons out of Blackstone City to fight. ”
Hairpin Xing was slightly surprised: "Then this black arowana should have a long lifespan?" ”
"I guess so." Xiaoshuang smiled: "It has a docile temperament and never hurts people, although its appearance is ugly, but this kind of thing has never happened to overturn people halfway." ”
The hairpin Xingxin said, the carp that can jump over the dragon gate is really a lucky koi with great creation. It's a pity that he looks a little crazy, probably the arowana himself knows that he is ugly, and rarely floats his head out of the water, only swimming silently and alone, looking a little pitiful.
When I go back to Black Rock City, I must practice a few more boxes of magic pills and feed it to eat, Hairpin Star thought to himself.
The ocean is boundless, as if everything in heaven and earth has been submerged by the ocean, and on the vast water, only a huge black fish like a hill swims slowly. At first, the accompanying demons were still able to talk and laugh and gossip, but then they slowly fell silent. Later, he simply stopped speaking, only the surging black torrent, boundless, flowing wantonly from the end of the sky.
The black arowana swam for ten days.
Ten days later, a long shore appeared in the ocean, breaking the unchanged cold picture.
The spirit of the demon clan perked up, and he pointed to the distance and said, "It's here!" It's time to get to Toju! ”
The demon who sat on the fish's spine became excited.
Before the war between the human and demon clans, there were often demons who took the dragon fish to Duzhou for training. After the war between the human and demon races, the demon king fell, the aura of the demon world was insufficient, and the immortal cultivation world took the opportunity to rise. The remnants of the demons left in Duzhou were almost wiped out, and the remaining demons retreated to Blackstone City, relying on the protection of the Styx River to not be found by the immortal cultivation realm.
It's been more than 20 years, and the demons here have stepped into the capital for the first time after so many years.
The demons are born to love to be lively, the world is prosperous and vast, and it is more moving than the Black Rock City, and now that they have returned to the old land, some emotional demons have begun to secretly wipe their tears.
The Arowana swam to the shore, and the hairpin said to everyone, "Go ashore." ”
The demons walked down from the fish one by one, and the hairpin star walked last. After everyone came ashore, Hairpin turned around, touched the fins of the black arowana exposed on the water, and said seriously: "Thank you." ”
The Arowana buried its head deeper, shook its huge tail slightly, and then turned away and disappeared into the black ocean.
Xiaoshuang took out the map from his arms, looked at the cyan sky, which was completely different from Black Rock City, and said, "Let's go." ”
