Volume 3 Lamentation of the Seven Sons Chapter 228 Same Name
In addition to letting Xiaobai have a full meal, Li Weiqiang was busy all night, and he was so angry that he almost burned this scroll with a magic flame, but thinking that this thing was a relic of the gods after all, he simply left it, and hung it on his waist together with the handkerchief given by Zhao Ruolan.
After that, after waiting for the Chaos Demon Wolf to completely devour the temple octopus and burping, Li Weiqiang returned with it.
The next morning, the Chaos Demon Wolf woke up early, and he didn't know where it flew to, and brought back a huge crocodile, which was not much smaller than the wild boar. I just finished eating an octopus dinner yesterday, and I'm going to eat crocodile again this morning, and the appetite of the Chaos Demon Wolf is really getting bigger and bigger.
The first time Zhao Ruolan saw the Chaos Demon Wolf eating, her surprised eyes almost popped out, and she trembled and said, "You...... It...... What is it? ”
Li Weiqiang said: "I'm having breakfast, you should be able to see it." Although the words are relaxed, Li Weiqiang is a little worried about Xiaobai, after all, it sleeps after eating and eats after sleeping these days, I don't know if there will be any bad effects.
Zhao Ruolan sighed: "I always thought that you didn't bring it this time, and I was worried about your safety, who knew that you actually brought it, I'm afraid that just one of it can make the necromantic adventure group drink a pot." ”
"Ah......h
Li Weiqiang snorted weakly, which was an answer.
With a top-level mount like the Chaos Demon Wolf, why do you have to hurry by yourself, only to see it turn into a grass unicorn, carrying the two of them to move above the forest. In the wild, the Grass Kirin can sense direction, perceive danger, and have a speed bonus, making it more suitable as a mount than the Frost Dragon and Nightmare.
"Wow, that's how you usually go?" Zhao Ruolan watched the scenery disappear quickly, and asked with some surprise.
Li Weiqiang nodded: "Sort of, it's relatively strong, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"At this speed, I'm afraid I can reach the imperial capital in a few days, right?"
"Yes, but I promised my friend to do something, and I can't go to the imperial capital yet." Li Weiqiang replied calmly.
"Where to go?"
"The settlement of the Bailing Clan, the Phantom Beast Plateau in the upper reaches of the Gula Divine River."
Zhao Ruolan asked again: "What are you going to do there?" Doing errands for your friends? ”
"Yes, he died, and before he died, please ask me to bring his ashes back to my hometown."
"Ah, I'm sorry I accidentally brought up your sad thing again." Zhao Ruolan hurriedly apologized, but she was also full of emotion in her heart, only to hear that his parents and sister were dead, and now even his comrades-in-arms are dead, why is he having such a hard time, can't he have something good? However, she also secretly resolved that she would never mention the things around him in the future, as if there was nothing good about it.
"I'm fine." Li Weiqiang's expression remained unchanged, and there were no emotional fluctuations because of her words.
It only took less than two days for Li Weiqiang to rush from the Nine Ring Mountains to the Phantom Beast Plateau, and all the way in the direction of the Divine River, after all, with the Chaos Demon Wolf here, the time to travel can be greatly shortened.
The most in the Phantom Beast Plateau are all kinds of Phantom Beasts, some of them can speak out, some have extremely high IQs, and some of them exert their strength, not even weaker than the Divine Beasts. Li Weiqiang and Zhao Ruolan also asked one of the parrots for directions, but they were kindly entertained by the parrot, and also took out a bug to treat, Li Weiqiang and Zhao Ruolan refused shamefully, and the cute little parrot finally told the two of them the location of the Bailing clan.
Most of the people in the Bailing clan have the ability to turn into beasts, and some special ones can turn into humans, dragons, phoenixes, and even stronger ones can even turn into gods! The overall strength of the race should definitely not be underestimated. They usually live in the glowing mountains, and there are a variety of man-made structures, but the buildings are usually in the style of a thousand years ago.
Most of the architectural styles of the Renhuang era are Chinese, which may be related to the origin of the Renhuang, and the overall aesthetic is absolutely first-class, but after thousands of years, the times have changed, and there are still changes. Unlike the Demon Moon Clan, who have lived in the psychedelic forest for thousands of years, and unlike the Bai Clan, who roam around the barren grassland, the Bailing Clan has moved many times and then settled here. Today's generation is not long, but it is also two or three hundred years old.
Li Weiqiang and the people of the Bailing clan are not familiar with each other, but they just glanced at Xiaguang Mountain from afar, and did not go deep into it, according to the last wish of his friend, Li Weiqiang came to the Shenhe opposite Xiaguang Mountain, stretched out his hand, and the phoenix flame appeared, and an ash altar appeared in his hand.
At the same time, Li Weiqiang took out the tribute wine and dishes and carefully placed them in front of the river.
"This flame of yours is really handy." Zhao Ruolan couldn't help but sigh, but immediately realized that she shouldn't say this on this occasion, and immediately turned around: "However, with a friend like you, even if your comrades-in-arms are under the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring, they will definitely be able to rest in peace." ”
"Hopefully." Li Weiqiang replied, then bowed respectfully three times, and said: "Brother, you and I have known each other for a short time, but we have fought side by side, and we are brothers-in-arms." My brother is for the country and the people, spilling a rainbow of blood, dying and dying, without regrets. Mourn for my brother, only respect my brother's liver and gall, serve the country loyally, be born as a human being, and die as a ghost. Today, I will sacrifice my brother with wine, and tell the country of grass to stay away from the war, and all the people will be peaceful, and I hope my brother will be relieved. Second, Brother Xia worked hard, and the national life was thriving, and he lived up to my brother's righteousness of sacrificing his life that day. Three to fulfill my brother's last wish, now the leaves return to the roots, return to his hometown, and hope that my brother will rest in peace. ”
After worshipping and saying goodbye, Li Weiqiang bowed three more times, then picked up the urn, lifted the lid, grabbed the white ashes, and hoisted them into the Kamigawa opposite Xiaguang Mountain.
"Hey, when people die, the lights go out, I don't know what my last wishes will be after I die in the future, or bury me in the flowers, at least I can smell the fragrance of flowers every day." Zhao Ruolan didn't want to disturb Li Weiqiang, but she was talking to herself in a whisper. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a young girl running away near Xiaguang Mountain, and behind her were more than twenty knights riding giant horned goats.
The speed of the Bighorn Goats is not fast, but compared to many mounts, they can go over mountains and mountains, and even carry people at a slope of 90 degrees on the flat ground, the preferred mount for highland mountain warfare, although the speed of the escaped girl is not slow, but in the face of the chase of the Bighorn Goat, it is obviously at an absolute disadvantage.
Seeing that the girl had been surrounded by several giant horned goats, Zhao Ruolan rushed up angrily, she just wanted to turn around and pull Li Weiqiang, but found that he had a solemn face, just looking down at the river, and was embarrassed to disturb him.
Zhao Ruolan's body and the position of the boulder were reversed, the boulder appeared behind Li Weiqiang, but Zhao Ruolan appeared next to the girl, she didn't ask the reason for the love, just smiled and mocked: "Yo, so many big men are chasing a girl, what are you going to do?" I don't know that girls are shy and can't stand the stalking of men? ”
"Who are you little girl? How dare you meddle with the affairs of my Shi clan? One of the goat riders shouted angrily.
"I'm not right about people, why do I bully a girl? Did she bully you Shi Clan? Zhao Ruolan was slightly shocked in her heart, she didn't expect them to be the descendants of the Gu clan, but this is obviously the territory of the Bailing clan, how could their Shi clan come here to arrest people.
The Shi clan snorted coldly: "Miss Xiaoyu's lover is the prince of the Eastern Empire, and if you catch her, the nosy prince will not dare to make a move on us." Foreigners, I advise you to leave honestly, and we can consider letting you go. ”
Prince? Which prince is it? Zhao Ruolan's face changed slightly, but she replied with a smile: "In this case, I have to be even more nosy, as the demon hunter of the Eastern Empire, I am directly knighted by the Eastern Emperor, and I have to be nosy." ”
"I'm fine, they're savage, you can go." The little girl next to Zhao Ruolan is quite kind, and she doesn't want this girl of the same age to suffer.
"You owe a beating!"
The leading Shi clan was not so good-tempered, and rushed forward on a giant horned goat, only to see him holding a huge meteor hammer and falling on top of Zhao Ruolan's head, obviously wanting to take her life.
Zhao Ruolan is not a power-type warrior, I saw her eyes narrow, the golden light flashed in her pupils, the stone clan warrior and the giant horned goat turned upside down, the running goat rode on the warrior's body, but the warrior instantly appeared under the giant horned goat, one man and one beast turned upside down, both screamed and fell, especially the stone clan warrior, the huge meteor hammer fell to the ground, and the broken rock smashed on his body, making him dizzy for a while. Fortunately, the Shi people have rough skin and thick flesh, so they must not fall to death on the spot.
"Ah, isn't this the New Year? Why are you so embarrassed to give me such a big gift? Zhao Ruolan got cheap and behaved, and half-squatted down to mock.
"Dare to bully our eldest brother with demon magic, give it to me."
The remaining twenty or so goat knights took out their weapons and rushed towards the two girls who were surrounded, Zhao Ruolan grabbed the girl's hand, estimated the distance, and when the distance was extremely close, the figure suddenly disappeared, and the leading warrior and the giant horned goat who fell at the beginning appeared in the center of the surroundment.
The enemy at the target has become his teammates, and it is only the blink of an eye, and it is difficult for anyone to react, and the scene can't help but turn on their backs and become a mess.
And Zhao Ruolan was holding her stomach and laughing: "See, this is the end of bullying our princess, let you be shameless and take a girl as a hostage." ”
"Space Spirit?"
Finally, a person from the Shi clan recognized what type of power Zhao Ruolan used, but their Shi clan's best strength and defense, in the face of this special power, they were really helpless, seeing that their side was insulted, but the other party was unscathed, the Shi clan warrior couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "Dare to ask who your Excellency is?" Dare to stop my Shi clan's big business! ”
"Okay, don't sit with your name and don't change your surname, your aunt and grandmother have never been afraid of causing trouble in my life, my name is Zhao Ruolan, I live in the No. 1 compound of the military family in the Heavenly Wounded Imperial City, and if you have the ability, your Shi clan will come to me." Zhao Ruolan generously reported to her home.
"Heavenly Wounded Imperial City...... Junjia No. 1 Compound? The Shi people were startled, it was a place where the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Empire army and their families could live, and the resentment that had just surged out was suppressed by him, and he waved his hand: "Withdraw for me!" ”
How handsome she was when she came, and how embarrassed she was when she left, Zhao Ruolan looked at the group of people who ran away in a hurry, and couldn't help but wave her hand proudly.
"Sister, I really appreciate your life-saving grace." The girl sincerely thanked her.
Zhao Ruolan saw that she should be about the same age as herself, so she asked, "How old are you?" ”
"Ah, I'm eighteen today."
"Well, you're sorry for your sister, I'm seventeen years old today. Your name is Xiaoyu, right? Zhao Ruolan said enthusiastically.
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, my name is Jiang Xiaoyu, you can call me Xiao Yu." ”
"My name is Zhao Ruolan." Zhao Ruolan was afraid that she wouldn't believe what she said just now, so she repeated the introduction, and asked: "By the way, they just said that they used you to contain a prince, if it doesn't involve privacy, can you ask which prince it is?" ”
Xiao Yu lowered her head in frustration and pouted dissatisfiedly, "I don't know...... He didn't even tell me he was a prince......"
Zhao Ruolan took a deep breath and said secretly: My obedient, which prince came out to look for flowers and ask willows, the scourge of eighteen-year-old girls, now that the mainland is in turmoil, it is rare for them to have the idea to do this kind of thing, if my father knows, he will definitely break his legs.
Although the name of the little girl in front of her was not right, Zhao Ruolan didn't say much, just asked: "Although I want to go back to the imperial capital, I am not in a hurry, that imperial ...... Where is your lover, shall I send you there? ”
"No need, the Shi people don't chase me anymore, I'll just go find him myself." Xiao Yu hurriedly refused.
Zhao Ruolan saw the fear in her heart, and still shook her head and said: "It's okay, I know most of the imperial princes, and a few of them are still good friends, so you don't need to be polite to me." And you can see just now, I am very strong, with me, no one can bully you. ”
Xiao Yu lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Ruolan." ”
"It's all a small thing, don't worry about it, I still have a friend over there, he's worshipping his friend, and when it's over, we'll send you there together...... Where are you going? ”
"Oh, he's in the Valley of the Immortals." Xiao Yu hurriedly replied.
Zhao Ruolan nodded casually, but she was very suspicious in her heart, the Immortal Valley is the place where the strongest Golden Immortal Clan of the Fifty-six Clans of the Ancient Ages lives, the Golden Immortal Clan has a special physique, and they can use the power of immortals when they are born, even if they are just ordinary Golden Immortal Clans, they will be better than the dragon after they grow up, and they are out-and-out anti-heaven clans.
However, three hundred years ago, due to the prosperity of the Jinxian clan, the status of women in the clan rose, and basically every woman had three wallets around her, which led to the oppression and humiliation of the men in the clan, and even the tragic case of the men of the Immortal Clan who did not touch the women of the Immortal Clan, but were wrongfully imprisoned for 50 years.
Back then, the shameful case of the men of the immortal clan was a sensation and shocked the entire continent, after all, as the strongest ancient clan in the East, this kind of judgment case that people can't stand to see has happened, and it is still quite ...... Eat melons to discuss. As a direct result of this incident, the men of the fairy tribe were rotten, and they no longer paid attention to women, and they did not even eat with women in restaurants, walk with women on the street, and do not sit in the same house with women.
The direct result of the antagonism between men and women is that they refuse to marry and have children during the appropriate age, and even if they are willing to marry, they will leave the clan and go to a foreign clan to marry. It's a pity that the power of the immortal clan is special, and only parents who are immortal can inherit the power of immortals. Three hundred years ago, there were about 500,000 Immortal Clan, and although they were not as strong as the Demon Moon Clan, there were quite a few. But after experiencing this incident, the younger generation of the immortal clan ...... Almost all men divorced and married. Some of the women of the immortal tribe died alone, some found old men, and some found foreigners. The female leader of the Immortal Clan at that time lacked foresight and had no idea how terrible the consequences of this incident were.
It's just more than thirty years later, the immortal clan has realized that it is terrible, among the younger generation of the immortal clan, there is no descendant who can use immortal arts, they are shocked, regretful, and set a rule against the will of the emperor, all races are free to intermarry...... The Immortals must marry the Immortals.
However, it was still too late.
The men of the immortal tribe who have experienced that incident have regarded the women of the immortal tribe as tigers, how can they intermarry with them, and the imperceptible feminist culture for decades has completely wiped out the desire of the men of the immortal tribe to get married, and they would rather be alone than stay with women.
The new male leader first abolished all kinds of unfair treaties to protect women, and even set a variety of preferential policies such as fiefdoms, gold, titles, and even offspring can join the immortal clan elder group and other preferential policies, but it was too late. A few decades later, with the death of the older generation of immortals, the fault line of the immortal clan has been formed, and the population who can use immortal magic is less than 10,000. This is the consequence of the departure of most of the immortal men in that area and the loneliness of the women.
It wasn't because it was defeated by some divine beast, it wasn't defeated by some natural disaster, and it wasn't because it was an enemy from the outside world, the fall of the immortal clan was just a struggle between men and women to maintain their respective powers.
Now, the people of the Immortal Clan are scattered all over the Eastern Continent, but the Immortal Clan is gone...... At least in the ancient clan gathering of the Eastern Empire once every ten years, Zhao Ruolan did not find any immortal people present, it can be said that the immortal clan is regarded as in the long history, among the fifty-six ancient clans in the Eastern Continent, the only ancient clan who has not played himself, which is also quite remarkable.
……
Thinking of this very interesting history, the corners of Zhao Ruolan's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile: "Xiao Yu, you said that the Jin Immortal clan was the strongest, but it turned out that the clan was wiped out because of the contradiction between men and women, and the discord between men and women, is the consequence really so serious?" ”
"You said the history of the fall of the Jin Xian Clan, I also know this, it's funny to think about......" Xiao Yu also covered her mouth with a smile, puzzled: "Men and women are in harmony with yin and yang, how can there be so many insoluble contradictions, they talk about fighting for women's rights, but do women really get any rights?" It's not a lose-lose situation. In general, women are still at a disadvantage compared to men, and we women should still take care of the housework. ”
Zhao Ruolan raised her eyebrows: "I don't agree with your last sentence, why let girls deal with housework, my strength will not lose to anyone, and I will rush faster than any man when I go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country in the future." ”
Xiao Yu's eyes remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "I only want to ask you one question, what should I do if your good friend comes?" ”
Zhao Ruolan's footsteps froze suddenly, her face was blushing, and she said angrily: "Xiao Yu...... How can you say that? ”
Xiao Yu shrugged and said, "This is all a fact, and you can't avoid it." ”
"Hmph, see what I'll prove to you in the future, even if you have good friends, girls won't lose to any boys." Zhao Ruolan raised her small fist and said with an oath.
"Well, I'm looking forward to the day when you conquer all the men, and maybe you'll be able to take care of my family for me." Thinking of her naughty lover, Xiao Yu's face was still blushing.
"Yo, I'm getting more and more curious, I actually made you shy like this, who is your lover?" Zhao Ruolan laughed.
Soon, the two of them came to the side of Kamigawa together.
Li Weiqiang is throwing paper money at the moment, although he thinks so...... Some pollute the environment, but the ancestors left it behind, and everyone believes in it, and Li Weiqing can be regarded as accepting this tradition, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for the ancestors. In the final worship session, the two girls also learned from Li Weiqiang in a good way, and worshipping this stranger was considered etiquette.
Looking back, Li Weiqiang said strangely: "Why did you bring someone back after you went out?" ”
"Hello, this big brother, my name is Jiang Xiaoyu." Xiao Yu greeted warmly.
Li Weiqiang glanced at her, his cold face did not melt at all, but he nodded slightly, which was regarded as a response. Xiao Yu was shocked, she was used to Zhao Ruolan's warm face, and she was extremely uncomfortable with Li Weiqiang's cold winter face, and she was a little afraid of his cold appearance.
"She is our princess, although I don't know which one it is, but she is finally destined. It just so happens that she is going to the Valley of Immortals, I haven't been there before, so let's go around together and see her off. Zhao Ruolan said with a smile.
"No, I'm going to the imperial capital, if you want to go, let's separate here." Li Weiqiang said very indifferently.
Zhao Ruolan hurriedly waved her hand: "Brother Qiang, don't be like this, you said that you were going to come to worship your comrades-in-arms, but I promised you to come without a word of rebuttal, can you also give some strength?" ”
Li Weiqiang said: "I didn't ask you to come with me, and now there is no danger, we can separate." ”
Zhao Ruolan's tone was suffocated, but she also patiently persuaded: "Brother Qiang, Xiaoyu is alone, and she is separated from her lover, can't you pity her?" How many hours are you missing? ”
Li Weiqiang looked Xiao Yu up and down, and blushed until he saw the girl blushing, before retracting his gaze and said lightly: "The eyebrows are clear, the eyes are bright, the brocade clothes are jade, and the skin is fine and tender...... I really don't see where she is pitiful, there are so many people in this world who are pitiful than her, even if you have the heart of the world and the heart of a saint, you can't help everyone, you can only tell them how to do it at most, you can't help everyone. ”
"Hmph, don't preach to me, I can see that you just don't like women." Zhao Ruolan said viciously: "If you were born in the Golden Immortal Clan, you will definitely engage in some kind of masculinism and bring the Golden Immortal Clan to destruction." ”
Li Weiqiang said strangely: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? ”
"You don't care what I say, Miss Ben's patience is limited, I don't care about what you do! Xiaoyu, let's go, my sister will take you. Zhao Ruolan took Xiao Yu's hand and left angrily.
Li Weiqiang just glanced at the backs of the two, and then turned around and left as well, without any nostalgia, but unfortunately Xiaobai fell asleep, otherwise he would have left faster on the flying mount.
"I'm sorry, sister, I can do it myself, you use it to quarrel with your boyfriend for me!" Xiao Yu was embarrassed to persuade, and she was very guilty about the quarrel between the two.
"Poof! Boyfriend, just him? I'm blind and will fall in love with him, but it's just a two-sided person. Zhao Ruolan said angrily.
"Oh, I see." Saying this, Xiao Yu's mood was finally relieved, and she said with a smile: "Forget it, Brother Dongfang said that he has a good brother named Li Weiqiang, who is a superb good man, let my brother introduce you another day?" ”
