[386] First easy and then difficult
The boat continued to sneak in the sea, speeding south wave by wave.
Xiao Shizhu in the cabin thought for a moment, and then said, "Since Dong Wuha is going to die, Tengxian Miao Village also needs a new hammer. ”。
After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu's two eyes as bright as stars burst out with an interested gaze in a blink of an eye, looking black and white impermanence up and down again.
As if the black and white impermanence of a conjoined baby was separated, after Qi Qi was stunned for a moment, he raised his right hand in unison, patted his chest, and said in unison: "You don't want our brothers to manage the Tengxian Miao Village, right?"
The flames on the lampstand swayed a few times, and Xiao Shizhu silently nodded his head and smiled.
Tengxian Miao Village was guarded at the entrance of the Guixu Trench between Yunmengze and Xuanyanzhou, and he knew that this was an important stronghold to ensure trade and material transportation between the two continents.
In such an important place, Xiao Shizhu naturally wanted to choose capable ghosts to guard, and the two brothers in front of him were the best candidates.
They have all been ghost generals in the capital of Yin, and the Tengxian Miao Village is a military stronghold; with their willingness to transfer ghosts from the capital Yuque, it is better to send the right black and white impermanence brothers.
"It's not impossible. The grinning Bai Wuchang nodded his head without thinking about it, and then Hei Wuchang asked with a look of embarrassment: "But who should be the two of us to make the hammer?"
This question immediately stopped Xiao Shizhu. The abilities of the two ghosts, black and white, are almost comparable, and it is really difficult to choose.
Xiao Shizhu, who was slightly stunned, thought for a long time and couldn't come up with a result, so he simply didn't think about it anymore and replied casually: "It's casual." Both of them are ghosts who have been in the officialdom of the underworld for many years, and they are already old fritters in the officialdom, so you can rest assured that you will hand over the vine fairy Miao Village. ”。
"You go and do three things. Xiao Shizhu raised his right hand and erected three fingers: "The first is to stabilize the local law and order as soon as possible, including the mood of the local Sanmiao ghosts after the death of Nadong Wuha will be handed over to you; Third, build a sea bridge across the Guixu Trench and connect Xuanyanzhou and Yunmengzhou. ”。
"Everything else is easy to say, but this third one is a bit difficult, and we can't build a bridge, right?" Black and white impermanence looked at each other and spread their hands together, shaking their heads helplessly.
"If we specialize in this art, our brothers will lead the army, catch the evil ghosts, and go to the world to hook the soul by the way. At the end, Bai Wuchang shouted with a smile: "Don't talk about building a bridge on the sea, even if you build a pontoon bridge over the stream, our brothers and sisters won't be able to build a pontoon bridge." ”
"You don't have to, just urge the craftsmen to build it, and procure the materials for the craftsmen to build the bridge. Xiao Shizhu paced to the window again, stared at the fish swimming up and down in the sea outside the window, shrugged his eyebrows and said: "Shenji, immediately inform my eldest wife, and ask her to arrange for the three hundred forbidden troops to go north as soon as possible, and after the round with us in Duxi City, let them take a boat with Black and White Impermanence to the east and go to the Tengxian Miao Village." ”......
The clouds are steaming and the clouds are blue, and in the northeast of the main peak of Luoyu Mountain, there is a mountain peak, which is called Tianning Peak. The strange stone valley on the peak is all over the sea of clouds, on the cliff in the layers of mountains and emeralds, you can see the cliff stone carvings written by the ancient gods everywhere, and the font of the inscription is also very different in style, and the posture is different.
The top of the mountain is lush and bamboo, and you can see purple feathers everywhere, and there are eyes under the wings, and chickens walk leisurely in the forest. There are also white eagles that look like pheasants but have markings on their heads, white wing feathers and yellow feet, and chirp on the branches.
A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo waves made a rustling sound.
Surrounded by bamboo, there is a stone pond pond in the middle of the top of the mountain, which is in the form of a rectangular square in the north and south, like a piece of beautiful jade inlaid on the top of the mountain. In the south of Tanzi, there are dozens of wild ancient tea trees, and the oldest ghost tea tree has been in the underworld for 10,000 years. The branches lie on the ground and the roots are horizontal, as strong as the head of a flying dragon. The lines on the trunk, branches, and roots of the tree have been transformed into the shape of a human face.
A few three-legged turtles are lying among the roots near the water's edge, basking in the sun and drinking the water in the pool leisurely.
The clear pool of water gushes all year round, even in the case of a long drought, and it is common to see strings of water bubbles emerging from the bottom of the floating pool, rising to the surface of the water and bursting, weaving beautiful ripples.
And in the north of the pool, there is a towering precipice standing near the pool, there is a waterfall like Bai Lian from the top of the rock that is several zhang high, the momentum is majestic like a dragon entering the sea, the sound is like a tiger roaring. The waterfall fell in the pool, and the mist suddenly rose, and the jade beads splashed, flooding with a seven-colored rainbow light.
The sweet water of the pond slowly poured into the round hole opened on the stone wall on the south side of the pond, and flowed into the underground river in the mountain along the round hole.
And in the middle of the pool, there is a high platform and heavy eaves, the two floors of the black tile Zhu Ying stand on the water, and the roof beasts bathed in the light of the cloudy sun on the roof are all kinds of little ghosts.
And above the eight directions around the small building, there is a stone carving beast with teeth and claws, soaking in the water in the pool. Only the head of the beast was exposed on the water, but it was all facing Xiaolou with its mouth and nose facing it.
And this small building called Tai Kill Forgiveness Building is Zongtian Palace, one of the Six Heavenly Palaces.
Compared with the other major palaces, Zongtian Palace has no other buildings except for this small building, which is somewhat shabby.
The furnishings in the building are also extremely simple, and there is nothing ornate.
It's not that the Emperor Xudu slammed the door of this palace, or that the palace owner offended the Emperor Xudu, but that this peak did not build a palace when the ancient gods were there. And the lord of this palace has always been accustomed to the ordinary life, so after the Emperor Xudu took charge of the underworld, he only built this pool of water and small buildings at the top of the peak.
At this moment, Emperor Xudu was sitting in the depths of the building, on the chair with a round back, staring at the young male ghost standing opposite him.
In the small building, there is no other ghost except them.
The appearance of this male ghost is no different from that of a young man, born with white teeth and red lips, and his slender body is dressed in a blue round-necked shirt with large sleeves, and a soap-barred soft towel hangs down behind his head.
It is the master of this palace, Zongtian.
But because ordinary human souls are different, his right eye is a double pupil.
"It's rare for me to have time to come to Tianning Peak to take a walk, I never thought that your kid would be so simple. Emperor Xudu said leisurely as he looked around at the spotless surroundings.
But in the middle floor of the building, there was nothing but the chair he was sitting on and the bronze lamps on both sides of the armrests.
For thousands of years, the furnishings in this building have remained the same.
"The minister is used to simplicity. Zong Tian slowly opened his mouth and replied lightly. The expression on his face was still as calm as water, without any joy, anger or sorrow.
The tone is the same, calm and unwavering.
"If you like it, if you like. Emperor Xudu got up slowly, walked slowly to the door of the building and stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the clear water surface in the pool outside the building, and slowly asked: "Ma Nujin is a magical collaborator with the enemy, as well as Xiao Shizhu's quick counterattack, and the shelling of the calf pass, you must also know, right?"
"Well, the minister just found out yesterday. Zong Tian slowly turned around, looked at the sturdy back of Emperor Xudu, and replied softly. But he secretly said in his heart: "This little ghost named Xiao Shizhu really has some ability. ”。
"When I wanted to attack the Nine Shadows, there were only two ghosts in the huge court. One is the King of Taishan who confronted me in person, and the other is you who have opposed it ten times in private. The mountain wind blew in his face, blowing the robe of the Emperor Xudu and the black hair hanging from his ears.
The pool in front of the building also rippled.
The minister still sticks to his original advice. Zong Tian, who was behind him, continued to look at the back of Emperor Xudu, and said softly: "Xiao Shizhu, the lord of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, is not a character to be messed with; This Xiao Shizhu is the little ghost in this sentence. ”。
Emperor Xudu closed his eyes slightly and did not speak.
The blood-colored flowers blooming in the water in front of the building were swaying gently in the mountain wind.
"Throughout the years he has been in the underworld, he has done a lot of shameless things. Let's not talk about what he did before he was not the King of the Nine Shadows, let's talk about the fact that he became the Queen of the Nine Shadows, and after moving the capital to Yuque City, in order to pay tribute to Your Majesty, he even demolished and sold the Ghost Mother Palace on Xiaoyu Mountain City without saying a word, but I am afraid that there are few ghosts in the underworld who can do it. Zong Tian paused, his face showed a faint sense of shame, and he sighed faintly: "If this matter is replaced by his ghost, he will definitely think that the ghost mother palace is the place where he made his career, and the significance is far-reaching, and it cannot be bought and sold casually." But Xiao Shizhu will not care about these, and he will never hesitate to sell when he says sell. ”。
"yes. Emperor Xudu, who has never admired anyone and always felt that he was high above, nodded lightly, and his face showed a very rare look of admiration: "His skills seem to have obtained the true inheritance of my sworn brother Taishan Fujun, and sometimes I even suspect that the disciple of Taishan Fujun's Yuan Ying in the world is this stinky and shameless Xiao Shizhu." ”。
"Shameless, cunning and cheeky. After a pause, Emperor Xudu snorted softly. It's just that when he said this, he uncharacteristically did not show resentment, but his face was extremely calm.
But if Xiao Shizhu was here at this time, he would definitely not be angry but happy, and then replied to him with a hippie smile: "Thank you for the compliment!" After that, he immediately became proud.
"So the minister still insisted on the previous suggestion, and there was no need to rush to provoke Jiuyouguo and Xiao Shizhu. Zong Tian, who was silent for a long time, slowly spoke after a long time: "What's more, according to reliable information, it can be known that the warcraftsmen under Xiao Shizhu seem to have learned the manufacturing process of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon and the Poisonous Fire God Cannon. Your Majesty should know the power of the artillery created by these two ancient gods to fight against the demon gods. ”。
Emperor Xudu was silent, he naturally knew that the power of those two kinds of artillery was amazing, and the killing range was not small. The Heavenly Thunder Cannon has extremely penetrating power, while the Poison Fire God Cannon has great destructive power.
He had always wanted to find the legacy of the Old Gods, not only for the sake of trickery, but also for the sake of these Old God technologies.
"So I decided this time to follow your advice and implement the policy of making things easier before making them harder. After being silent for a long time, the Emperor Xudu, who never bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, showed a faint look of shame on his face for the first time, and said very sincerely: "I was wrong before, and now I want to correct this mistake myself; We are also like Xiao Shizhu to learn to learn, what is called persimmon to pick up soft pinch. ”。
When Zong Tian heard this, his eyes gradually widened with surprise.
It's not easy to make the old stubborn Emperor Xudu admit his mistakes!
At least after Zong Tian was made by Emperor Xudu, in the thousands of years to now, this is the first time that Zong Tian has seen Emperor Xudu sincerely admit his mistake.
It's a pity that the Emperor Xudu is facing away from him, seeing the other party's expression at this moment, Zong Tian was surprised and somewhat regretful.
"If you want to make it easy first and then make it difficult, it's just that it is not enough to eliminate the other vassal states that dare to resist one by one. Zong Tian pondered for a moment, walked out of the shadows in the building, and walked behind the Emperor Xudu to bathe in the cloudy light, and said slowly: "We also need to train a powerful surprise soldier in the area of Baoqi Pass. Advance can defend against the attack and harassment of the border between China and North Korea by the Nine Shadow Kingdom, and retreat can support the counterinsurgency on both the east and west. ”。
