Chapter 59: On Merit
The river was surging, the boats were stretching one after another, and when the figures with various colors of phosgene flew out from under the water wall of the separated ravines, the bow of the ship resounded with more magnificent cheers, and it seemed that the people who had been waiting on the ship had already known the good news of breaking through the territory and defeating the enemy.
Yu Shihuan, who had a slight recovery in strength, and Kuang Xiong, the head of the iron-clad gate, stood at the bow of the main ship, facing Yu Shihuan, Hu Ergongzi and Tianfengzi and his party slowly descended from mid-air, as soon as they stepped on the sampan, Hu Ergongzi made a gesture of completion, and his clear and comfortable voice fluttered in the rivers and mountains again: "As you can see, the deputy alliance leader leads the army, all the masters fight forward, the demons are scattered and fled, the palace has been captured, and the Seven Star Alliance has won the first battle!"
The syllabic voice immediately caused continuous cheers and applause, just like the situation before leaving the palace, the difference is that the current momentum is more majestic, in addition to the number of more demons, the cheering ranks also joined thousands of hundreds of gang heroes, all of whom are heroes who lick blood on the knife edge, and the shouting will naturally resound in the sky. Carrying a golden knife, the burly Luo Yi shouted especially loudly, although in the end he was limited by the art of flying and could not personally participate in the battle of directly taking the palace, but his joy was sincere, today on the river, it was the Baige Gang that first launched an attack on the demon army, the scene was tragic and tragic, but it also won the respect of many Seven Star Alliance demon masters, only in this way, this victory is even more significant, and it is more and more determined that a group of heroes of the Baige Gang are fearless and fearless, and move forward bravely to eliminate demons: even if it is a demon and a monster, but there is a strong soul and bravery, how can it be feared?
Dong Yao looked from afar, she didn't have the heart to listen to the endless comments and rewards of Hu Ergongzi and Yu Shihuan now, one after another who sneaked into the palace of the Demon Suppressor, and landed on various boats, but why didn't she see Senior Brother Chi? Ji Yao stood beside her obediently, as if he knew Dong Yao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chi will be fine, which monster can hurt him?"
Dong Yao's tone was a little complaining: "I'm not afraid that Senior Brother Chi will be injured by a monster, he has such great ability, it's too late for the monster to escape when he encounters him." I just don't think he can fly, and those people still let him take the lead, it's too unreasonable, if he enters that illusion realm and can't get out, isn't it a big trouble?"
Ji Yao's two dimples sank deeper because of the smile: "Although Senior Brother Chi can't fly, someone must have brought him here, naturally the slowest one, right, Sister Lingfeng and Sister Ming didn't go together?" They won't leave Senior Brother Chi alone, Senior Sister don't worry, just rest assured." ”
Having said that, Dong Yao still frowned slightly, staring at the place where the water wall of the ravine flew away for a moment, the concern was overflowing, no food hummed a lewd tune, the thief swayed past Dong Yao, lying on the bow of the boat, the tail wagged very happily, under careful listening, the lyrics that burst out sporadically were the "Beauty Butterfly Fluttering Song" used to make Xue Yang in the past, during which the meaning of wandering and cheapness is self-evident, but Dong Yao's heart hangs in the pond, where will he pay attention to the insinuation of this bad dog?
Finally, a figure wrapped in turquoise mist flew out of the water, this is obviously the last one, at the moment when this turquoise mist appeared, the disciples of the covered water village on the river in the middle of the lake shouted loudly, under the guidance of Yuan Fangfei, they each put away their spells, the sound of rumbling water rolling endlessly, splashing the sky with water droplets, in this loud noise, the separated water wall was gathered again, and the swirling water dragon and the water flow turned into one, and in an instant, it returned to the sparkling waves of the previous backwater bay.
Dong Yao first saw Chi Tang's sturdy and tall figure in the green mist, and her heart was suddenly happy, but she immediately found that Chi Tang's side was the spiritual wind, seeing her holding Chi Tang, looking at the past from afar, it seemed to be extremely intimate and clinging to each other, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and then felt that her suspicious and suspicious thoughts were ridiculous, so she quickly put aside the slightest hesitant thoughts, bloomed with joy, and waited for Chi Tang to approach with the sweetest smile.
"Thank you Sister Lingfeng, Senior Brother Zhilu Daochi is not good at flying, and he bothered to bring him here. As soon as the green mist fell on the bow of the boat, and before Chi Tang could walk out of the mist, Dong Yao greeted him with a gust of fragrant wind, but his body was running towards Chi Tang, but the words in his mouth were said to Ling Feng.
The green mist dissipated, revealing Lingfeng's expressionless face, she immediately let go of the hand holding Chi Tang's clothes, and said lightly: "You're welcome, when I faced the demons on the river before, didn't I also help him? When he said this, even Ling Feng himself felt very strange, why did he want to say such words to Dong Yao that seemed to be an explanation but more like a cover-up?
Chi Tang's heart trembled slightly, Dong Yao's soft body had already been thrown into his arms, such a delicate and pity little sister was so affectionate to herself, how could she not be happy in her heart? He couldn't help but think about it any more, so he gently hugged Dong Yao's slender waist, looking at Dong Yao's delicate flower, a smile appeared on his face.
"It's a big loss to Sister Lingfeng, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to come back there. Dong Yao said half coquettishly, half worriedly.
Chi Tang hugged Dong Yao lightly, Lingfeng didn't leave a few steps, and it was Ye Yan who came up to ask long and short questions, and no one noticed the slightest difference between him and her.
"What's there to be afraid of? Even though I can't fly, how can I get in?" The little junior sister cared so much about herself, Chi Tang finally felt warm in her heart, and for a while she restrained her heart, smiled softly, and touched Ji Yao's little head who came up with her.
"Senior Brother Chi, I finally killed a demon today. Ji Yao raised the blue dagger in his hand, and the smile on his face was extremely cute.
"Ha Luha, I see, the little junior brother is a real demon slayer today. ”
Dong Yao, who was leaning on Chi Tang, pouted when he saw this: "Besides, even the little junior brother has a monster in his hand, but it's useless for me, I have learned from Lingze's old grandfather for a long time, but I haven't killed half of the monster, according to this, I can't be considered a demon slayer." ”
"Why did Senior Sister say this? Don't forget, Senior Brother, when did I kill the first demon after I became artistic?" Chi Tang of course wanted to comfort Dong Yao, "It's not a secret, in the battle in Jinping Yuan, I really killed the first demon, you calculate, since I went to Chang'an a year later, how long has it been?"
"Ah, no!" Dong Yao's small mouth opened into a lovely circle, she still remembered the situation that day, wasn't it that she missed a blow and narrowly fell into the hands of the demon, but it was Chi Tang who stepped forward and slashed the monster with a sword in his hand? Dong Yao didn't seem to believe it: "Hmph, you showed so many results at the Communist League Conference, and the others were shocked, how could you be the first one to kill that day? You don't comfort me, when I don't know? Hehe, isn't that monster emperor in Chang'an the one you killed?" ”
Chi Tang smiled: "It's really not, there are others who have been punished, it's just that your Senior Brother Xue is quick and took the ghost emperor's yin spirit into the sealing bottle first." "This is really not a lie, at that time, the battle in the Chang'an Palace against the ghost monarch Fu Sheng, although it was the Chitang Fire Crow that was full of divine power and broke Fu Sheng's immortal body, but it was the protector Luo Laoqi who really cut off Fu Sheng's head, which can not be confused.
Dong Yao didn't know the twists and turns inside, and couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the words: "Then according to what you mean, is it because we can't do it?"
"Not really, it's just that to kill this ghost emperor, our Qianjia has also made great efforts. I couldn't explain this for a while, Dong Yao still wanted to ask, but Wufeng came in at the right time, but Chi Tang had to explain it in detail.
"Zhang Lao Wu, what are the results? Didn't you win? But I see that the little white face who was pants off by me is not very good, and he still glances at you at every turn, are you stealing the limelight from him again?"
Chi Tang was stunned for a moment, his eyes couldn't help but look at Yu Shihuan who was standing in the boat, and just collided with Yu Shihuan's cold gaze, Yu Shihuan's face was flat, and he immediately looked away, Chi Tang only felt that Yu Shihuan's eyes were vaguely dissatisfied with the meaning of suspicion, and he was secretly hesitant in his heart, and it was strange to say, since he met Yu Shihuan for the first time in Luoxia Mountain, the two have been extremely incompatible, although he is always hostile to himself, but why don't he have a lot of criticism of him as the deputy alliance leader? If it is said to be due to a misunderstanding, it is not necessarily true, in fact, since Mr. Gushan died in a heroic battle, the misunderstanding between him and the Tsuruyu Gate Shizimen should have been cleared up, perhaps it is a natural discord in temperament. Chi Tang could only think so.
However, Chi Tang didn't want to show his dissatisfaction with the deputy alliance leader, especially in the eyes of his junior brothers and sisters, he was afraid that it would be a big obstacle to the Seven Star Alliance's concentric efforts, so he just smiled faintly: "How do I know what the deputy alliance leader of the Dao Dao means? In short, this attack on the palace has never been eliminated by a demon, and now this great victory is obtained by those demons who took the initiative to retreat, in fact, we just captured an empty palace." ”
"Ah, that is to say, it took such a big battle and a lot of effort, and in the end, it was those dog-day demons who gave up on their own and took it?" Not only did they have no food, but Dong Yao and Ji Yao were both stunned, according to the previous formation of the army on the river, they all guessed that it must be a big battle in the territory of the palace, who knew that Lu Dao was actually like this, and he faintly felt in his heart that the victory that Hu Ergongzi was hyping up at this time was too unworthy of the name.
Chi Tang smiled bitterly: "There is no beginning, there is an end, and the world is about the same." Being able to end like this is already a happy situation. ”
Wushi's ears were erected: "What do you mean by mother's skin? What kind of rice is not thick, and the moss has a shell?"
Chi Tang couldn't help but repeat: "It's not that the rice is not thick, it is that there is no beginning and there is an end, this is the word handed down in the Book of Poetry, which means that at the beginning of anything, no one does not want to do the best, but in the end it is often very different from the original intention." In short, it means that the beginning is not the end. ”
Wushi tilted his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly the dog's eyes flickered: "Understand, it's like I wanted to fart, but I ended up earning a piece of, which backfired, and it made the stink, doesn't that mean?"
Chi Tang was almost hilarious, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's the same thing." Dong Yao also laughed out loud, then slapped Wushi's head lightly, and said: "This filthy dog, the words and sentences are interpreted by him as yellow and white, which makes the dog unable to spit out ivory in his mouth." ”
Wushi's favorite appearance of everyone being happy because of his cheap words, seeing the effect at this time, suddenly his face was full of light, his chest was folded, and he felt extraordinary.
(Note: There is no beginning, and the words of Xianke have the end come from the "Book of Songs, Daya, Dang", the original meaning is to be a person, an official, and a worker, no one is unwilling to start well, but few people die well.) In later generations, it will be a philosophical warning with its exhortation to start well and finish well. As for the explanation of the foodless brother, it is that he has come to gag, secondly, he has not learned and has no skills, and thirdly, he likes to associate with filthy things the most, so he gave birth to such a crooked interpretation, and you can't believe it. )
At this moment, the disciples of the Covered Water Village who have completed their practice on the water surface have returned to the boat under the leadership of the eldest disciples Chen Dian and Yuan Fangfei, but most of these disciples of the Covered Water Village have heavy faces, that is because among the various sects of the Seven Star Alliance, except for the Baige Gang with the majority of mortal physique, today is the largest casualty in the Covered Water Village, not only Feng Tianda, who is second only to the owner of the village, died, but also many seventeen disciples were killed, and the disciples of the Water Covered Village were saddened by the death of their fellow disciples, and they couldn't smile like others, it was Yuan Fangfei herself, after returning to the boat, she only quietly glanced at Yu Shihuan, and stood silently behind her father。
The discussion of the reward for meritorious deeds in the boat has also come to an end, this battle, the first merit of the water village is important, the first merit of the condensation city is secondary, there is a conclusion, the three roads are raised to meet the water demons, the hundred boats help the brave and resolute to fight the demon army, naturally each has its own merits; Dexin Dao and Chi Tang worked together to break through the illusory void, so that they could enter the palace demon world, but it also represented that their respective sects had won meritorious service, as for Yu Shihuan's merit as the main general of the deputy alliance leader, Hu Ergongzi's deployment of the rear was also among the merits.
Hu Ergongzi got Yu Shihuan's instructions, faced everyone, and came one by one, taking advantage of this moment, Tianfengzi whispered softly to Yu Shihuan: "Shihuan, the Demon King of the Water and the Heavenly Spirit Ghost will appear in the demon realm at the same time, look at this situation, when the water and the blood spring are in the same stream, this matter should be quickly reported to the alliance leader Mr. Xu Da, the leader of the alliance, and the joining forces of the water and blood spring will be a great danger to the Jiangnan realm, and it must be prevented." ”
Yu Shihuan's heart was dark, thinking back to the Yin Spirit Qi of the Heavenly Spirit Ghost General, this was a new fierce opponent of the Demon Dao, and it seemed that the judgment of the Blood Spring Ghost Clan was about to be redefined.
......
After laughing for a while, Chi Tang recalled the private statement with Lang Ji, but he was still puzzled, and he was going to take this opportunity to ask Lingfeng about the situation of the Rifting Abyss Ghost Country, but he saw that Ye Yan beside Lingfeng suddenly showed an anxious look, and looked at the sky, but seemed to be looking for something.
"What's wrong?Brother Yejing?" Chi Tang said strangely.
Ye Yan's eyes were still swimming in the air, but his tone was anxious: "What about Miss Ming? Who saw Miss Ming?"
