Chapter 2: The Hanging Sea (1)
"What's going on?" Yeluyun glanced back, then stunned.
If the normal sea tide is a huge wave, then the waves in front of Yeluyun are the frenzy of covering the earth, and the huge tide is constantly rolling downward, and the largest wave even rushes to the ground.
"It's not that simple......
"Brother Yun, what can I do?"
"I don't know, the only thing I know is that we've been stopped again." Yeluyun didn't look at the inverted hanging sea, but turned to look behind him, the heavenly court on the other side of Haolong Ridge should be preparing to deal with this group of rabble.
Heavenly Court, since there is no news from the Western Frontier, the Heavenly Emperor and all the Heavenly Officials, even if they are excellent, can only predict that the demon army will march towards the southwest or west, Zhong Pingyang has a feeling, but he does not dare to export easily without evidence, as the war reports in the south become more and more frequent, almost all the attention has moved to the south, the threat of the demon army is getting bigger and bigger, and all the departments of the Heavenly Court are having a headache.
On this day, news came from southern Xinjiang again, the west side of southern Xinjiang suffered defeat, fortunately, the Shence army appeared in time to recover the defeat, but the situation is still not good, the demon army fights with two fronts of open space and ground, and the deterrent effect is great, and the genius of the southern phase of Tianzong can not save the declining situation, and finally has to send a distress letter to the heavenly court, which is the first time in Ming Yuantian.
After receiving the distress letter from the Southern Minister, the Emperor of Heaven and the important ministers around him were shocked, the rebellion of the demon soldiers was far more troublesome than imagined, and the talent of the Southern Prime Minister was still in danger, and the foundation of the Heavenly Realm was bound to be shaken in the long run.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the Southern Minister, the pressure of the demon soldiers is increasing, and the Southern Prime Minister can only stick to the Maple Leaf Gorge without clearing the enemy army, and the enemy seems to be increasing its troops, and Heavenly Court can't do anything about it." The person who spoke was Zuo Diancheng Shangwuzhi, an important minister of the Heavenly Court, who was in charge of civil affairs.
The Heavenly Emperor's pair of slender eyebrows were tightly clasped, the demon soldiers had a sense of unease when they first came, and now the disaster is getting bigger and bigger, and his responsibility is getting heavier and heavier, after a moment of silence, he reflected on himself and said: "It's me who despise it too much, the demon soldiers have come here from a different island outside the sky, it must be a far-sighted plan, we want to fight against the great enemy with only one domain in the southern frontier, it is too light for the enemy."
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and they all had a feeling of being speechless, when the demon army invaded, they also made the same mistake, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Your Majesty, are we going to make a move?"
The Heavenly Emperor pondered for a moment and did not answer, then turned his head to the guards and said, "Please come and speak."
Seeing him mention Zhong Pingyang, the officials stopped talking, Zhong Pingyang said surprisingly last time, and actually said that there was a sign of transposition in the Middle Palace, but no one was convinced at the time, and now I feel a little worried when I think about it, if the demon disaster is not removed, the Middle Palace may really be in danger of translocation.
Suddenly, the hall was quiet, the Emperor of Heaven and all the heavenly officials were silent, secretly thinking about the affairs of the southern frontier, until there were bursts of footsteps at the door of the palace, and their eyes invariably greeted them, but they saw Zhong Pingyang wearing a plain robe and hurriedly walked into the inner hall.
Zhong Pingyang knew the reason, and when he entered the hall, he felt that the atmosphere was gloomy, his eyes swept over all his colleagues, and he saw that everyone was worried, realized that things were difficult, and had a plan in his heart, so he went to the Emperor of Heaven to make a big salute.
"No need to be polite, you know everything about Southern Xinjiang, the situation is getting more and more serious, Nanxiang Que Ning sent a letter asking for help...... "The Emperor sighed, patted the distress letter on the table and sighed.
Zhong Pingyang knew that Nanxiang's personality was extremely arrogant, and he would never send a distress letter unless he had to, which shows how dangerous the situation in southern Xinjiang is.
After a pause, the Heavenly Emperor Zhengse said again: "The matter is no longer a corner of the southern frontier, the Heavenly Court can't help but take action, all the officials said that they will use the power of the Heavenly Realm to repel the demon army, I am also thinking about this matter, I am calling Qing to ask about the stars, I don't know what the warning is."
As soon as the words fell, all eyes were focused on Zhong Pingyang's face.
Zhong Pingyang ignored everyone's gazes, tilted his head expressionlessly and thought for a moment, until the Emperor of Heaven asked for the second time, then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has already said that the affairs of southern Xinjiang are fate, and the disaster of demon soldiers has long been determined."
"Hmm!"
"Recently, the minister has been sitting on the stargazing platform for a long time, thinking only about one thing, that is, the changes in the heavenly realm, since the invasion of the demon soldiers, the changes in the stars have become more and more numerous, and they are chaotic, often making people confused, but I feel that the expression, the internal situation is as orderly as a spider's web, and the structure is tight."
Hearing this, everyone was even more curious.
"Wei Chen can't get a glimpse of the whole situation for the time being, he can only guess one or two, although the stars are chaotic and the stars are moving south, but the starlight is bright and clear, pure and deep, it can be seen that the heavenly court is still strong, and the sky will not be reincarnated as a demon land."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed.
The Heavenly Emperor said with a smile, "In that case, use the power of the Heavenly Realm to repel the demon soldiers and restore the Qingming World."
Before the words fell, Zhong Pingyang interjected and said, "The minister also discovered that there are two big stars on the side of the middle star, one red and one black, and the light is even higher than the middle star."
"What does that mean?"
"Looks like a wizard has appeared."
The Heavenly Emperor suddenly remembered what Zhong Pingyang had said the previous time, frowned and asked, "One red and one black? You are the Guide Minister? What about the other one? Could it be that the black is the Northern Minister?"
"The south is fire, and red is its color, which probably refers to the southern phase, as for black...... Wechen is foolish, and he has not been able to solve his puzzle so far, because the black star hangs in the southwest instead of due north."
"Southwest?" The Heavenly Emperor looked at him suspiciously, a name suddenly popped up in his heart, and he rushed to ask, "That troublemaker Yeluyun is in Nanxi, could it be him?"
Zhong Pingyang was silent, but everyone already understood what he meant, and they also had this idea in their hearts, but they didn't dare to be sure.
The Heavenly Emperor turned around and took a few steps, muttering to himself, "Yeluyun led millions of demons to crisscross the land of the Heavenly Realm at will, this courage is really not small, but his strength is ......
A general suddenly flashed out of the crowd and said, "Yeluyun is a traitor, and the flickering black star must mean that he led the demons to rebel, please send a large army as soon as possible, sweep away the demons, and avoid future troubles."
This opinion catered to the ideas of many people, and immediately attracted a chorus of echoes, and the Emperor of Heaven could not help but be worried, his eyes swept over Zhong Pingyang, waiting for his response.
Zhong Pingyang didn't respond immediately, he was also muttering in his heart, the black star flashing in the middle star has a sign of rushing to the heavenly court, Ye Luyun's existence is indeed a challenge to the heavenly court, and the meaning of the officials cannot be refuted. But the flickering of the black and red stars can also be explained by the fact that the two stars have joined forces to protect the Heavenly Court, and the two completely different ideas make him hesitate.
Zuo Diancheng Shangwu bowed and said: "Yeluyun has violated the law of heaven, and he should be punished no matter what, and the minister can order the western minister to lead troops south, and after breaking the demons, attack the demon army from the west."
"yes, it works." The scale in the Emperor's heart finally fell to the main attacker, and the demon disaster put pressure on Tiantai, and he really didn't have the strength to take care of the affairs of the demons.
Since the Emperor of Heaven nodded, everyone had no objections, only Zhong Pingyang was uneasy, if Yeluyun was really one of the two stars of the Heavenly Court, such a high pressure might cause the stars to change again, but the matter of the demon could not be left unattended, and after thinking about it, he decided to make a word.
"Your Majesty, the minister has recently watched the stars again, and several fire meteors have fallen to the southwest, but they have given birth to a little black light, which is inferred by the minister to be a sign of water movement."
"Didn't you say that the Black Star was in the southwest?"
"Whether it is related to the black star or not, the minister does not dare to guess immediately, but the sign of the water movement is very obvious, and the minister can be sure of this." Zhong Pingyang looked at each other.
After a little thought, the Heavenly Emperor muttered, "Southwest, the water movement - could it be related to the evil dragon of the Soul Sea?
"The two seas in the southwest, the Hanging Sea and the Soul Sea, the evil dragon of the Soul Sea can't get out of the sea, but it's okay, the Hanging Sea Heaven and Earth are born, even if the Heavenly Court can't control its ebb and flow, in case it ......."
"Hanging Sea, I naturally know that I can't control its movement with my strength, Yeluyun is even more difficult to control, there won't be anything moving over there, it's very likely that the Soul Suppression Sea will be in trouble, and the demons and evil dragons will make trouble together, and things will be even more troublesome."
Shang Wuzhi responded, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, you should immediately order the Western Prime Minister to go all out to the south to suppress the demons before they meet with the evil dragon."
"Hmm! That's true." The Emperor nodded.
Zhong Pingyang knew that the astrological phenomena were just predictions, not reality, and the Heavenly Emperor's analysis was not unreasonable, and the alliance between the evil dragon and the demon was something that anyone could believe.
If the Black Star is really Yeluyun, and the matter of the water movement is related to him, the consequences may not be disaster but help, will it be counterproductive to send troops to fight?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret a little when he said about the stars.
If the fortunes of heaven change because of me, I will never be able to escape the guilt of death!
The Emperor of Heaven didn't know that Zhong Pingyang was depressed in his heart, so his attention returned to the south, and he commanded in a deep voice: "The matter of Yeluyun and the news from the Xixiang side will be decided again, although the demons are numerous, it is difficult to stop the army of the Western Frontier, Hu Ling will deal with it, I called everyone here for the affairs of the Southern Frontier, although I have decided to attack with all my strength, but the places must not be too empty, in case there are any more accidents."
"The demon army is strong, in the opinion of the ministers, the army of the northern and eastern frontiers should be transferred, and the heavenly court should not move lightly, so you can send the masters of the Heavenly Martial Academy Divine Riding Academy to help......
The Heavenly Emperor didn't wait for him to finish, and asked with a smile on his chin, "I want to do it in person, what do you think?"
"This ......" everyone did not dare to speak, and looked at each other without saying a word.
The Emperor of Heaven knew that everyone was thinking, Zhong Pingyang had prophesied, and the Zhonggong had changed, and they were all worried that the matter of the Southern Expedition would affect him, so he smiled and asked, "I personally sit in Nanxiang City to invigorate the army, and who of the generals is willing to go on the expedition with me?"
"I want to go!" "Your Majesty is willing to go!" ......, the Emperor of Heaven personally summoned, and all the heavenly generals competed for the first, and for a while the crowd was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, and for a while they forgot what Zhong Pingyang said.
Zhong Pingyang should have raised an objection, but he was only in the southwest, and he had no opinion on the judgment of other things, and he didn't speak again until everything was discussed.
"Your Majesty, although the matter of the Southwest Demon is not as urgent as the Demon Army, it is also very important, and the minister asks for an order to go to the Southwest to deal with this matter with the Western Minister."
The Heavenly Emperor was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Aiqing never left the Si Xing Palace, why did he ...... today?"
"The stars are too chaotic, and the minister has never seen such a chaotic star in his life, but I am afraid that the minister may not be able to understand it in his life, and it is a great regret if he misses it."
The Emperor of Heaven was shocked, all the officials were shocked, and he knew that Zhong Pingyang was familiar with the stars, so he was in charge of the stargazing hall, he actually said so, the stars will be as he said, and the stars are a sign of the rise and fall of the Ming Yuan sky, if you don't notice,
It's pointless to just guess, and when tomorrow is in turmoil, the minister doesn't want to sit here." Zhong Pingyang looked up to the sky and sighed, his face was full of sadness, no matter how ordinary people were, they could feel his worried heart, and his tone was even more helpless.
Although the Heavenly Emperor was curious, he didn't ask too much, Zhong Pingyang was extremely intelligent, and he didn't need to worry about what he would do, so he gladly agreed.
"Okay, just work hard to go to Aiqing."
Of course, Zhong Pingyang had another purpose, it was a matter of life and death for Ming Yuantian, and he didn't want to make tens of millions of people suffer because of his momentary judgment, so he thought of going to the southwest to investigate and see what the connection between Yeluyun and the stars showed.
