Chapter 250: Evil Cause and Effect
When he saw Bai Jian Qi again, Chu Yunchuan was almost unrecognizable, he rode over on the Ice Wing Divine Horse, wearing a golden mask, covering his face tightly, revealing only two eyes that were scattered. It looks like he's suffering from severe insomnia, and his mental state is very poor and heaviness is extreme.
Obviously, after the primeval corpse poison in his body, he couldn't adapt to this lonely yin body for a while.
No matter how he tried to hide his appearance, the sinister aura that came out of his bones was still very strong, and if he looked closely, there was a faint black aura lingering around him, and the two adjutants behind him didn't dare to get too close to him.
"Master. ”
At a distance of about three meters from Chu Yunchuan's home, Bai Jian Qi retracted his horse and hoofed his hooves, afraid that the poisonous aura on his body would make Chu Yunchuan unhappy, so he didn't dare to get too close to him.
Chu Yunchuan asked, "The Earth Demon Army is only 50,000 garrisons, why did it suffer such heavy losses?"
It may be that his tone was a little serious, which made Bai Jianqi frightened, he lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I disappointed your expectations...... I thought that the 120,000 army, as long as it drove straight in, it would be easy to capture the city of Guidusk, but I didn't expect it...... One accidentally fell into Yan Yi's Hidden Valley Lock Immortal Array. ”
"What about enlightenment?"
"......!!! I shouldn't be greedy for merit, and I shouldn't be careless to underestimate the enemy!"
"I want you to remember one thing, your steps to the Holy Seat of the Human Emperor are made of countless white bones, and those dead brothers are watching you, so that they can do it for themselves. After speaking, Chu Yunchuan turned his horse's head. shouted loudly: "The whole army is leaving!"
The remaining army, less than 60,000, once again embarked on the road of the westward expedition, aiming to take the post city in the middle of the wilderness. At this time, in the western section of the wilderness, a fierce war had just ended.
......
The sky left and right by the yin-yang mirror was rolling with an inky black sea of clouds, and it was terrifyingly gloomy. A cold, ethereal fog filled the woods like a poisonous miasma, mostly tall and straight sequoia trees, and the originally lush needles seemed to be unable to withstand the fog and fell in the breeze. Spread the red carpet.
Seemingly calm woods. In fact, the murderous atmosphere is fierce, and the "red carpet" is covered with a variety of animal hoof prints, and there are also many invisible trenches, thistles, traps and other common things on the battlefield. Here, is the unnamed valley where the Eternal Clan and the Yanhuang Sect have been at war for a long time. At the forefront of the fight to the death.
From Jade City to Demon Capital City. On this long front, which is longitudinal from north to south and more than 800 kilometers long. The most treacherous area is the Weiming Valley. The soldiers stationed in the Weiming Valley can be said to be killed every minute, and this is the thunder pool where the two armies fought fiercely. It is also the boundary between life and death, one step forward and one step back, two completely different destinies.
And for the Eternals, guarding has become a habit.
Since the invasion of the Yan and Huang Army, the Heavenly Demon Army stationed here has been fighting every day, encountering sneak attacks, ambushes, and falling into traps.
Lan Yu'er, the beautiful and self-reliant princess of the demon clan, once asked her subordinates to count that since the beginning of the war, an average of 572 people died here every hour, and there were even more injuries, which could not be counted. Whether it is the Heavenly Demon Army or the Yanhuang Army, in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, Weiming Valley is a death codename, and they are all famous.
The archers of the Heavenly Demon Army lurked in the depths of the dense dense forest, vigilantly guarding the outer edge of the forest.
The guard is Lan Yu'er, who hides in a redwood tree.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she saw a slender figure looming in the misty fog. As the distance between the other party gradually got closer, and her face became clearer and clearer, she finally saw clearly that at the front of this battle line full of death, there was actually a beautiful woman in red.
The aura emanating from this woman's body is the breath of a human being.
In the marginal area where humans and demons cannot coexist, on the front line of this war known as the Death Forbidden Zone, she actually dared to invade the realm alone!"What a bold woman, catch it alive!" The soldiers were excited, and without waiting for Lan Yu'er to give instructions, the two soldiers who were lying in ambush couldn't wait to rush out.
The beauty in red has eyebrows like willows, bright eyes like pearls, and stands in place like a virgin.
She seemed to know that this would be the result, and consciously raised her hands, but there was no trace of fear on her face, that kind of clear and graceful, elegant and calm posture, but the soldiers were a little shocked, and in amazement, the two soldiers who rushed out unconsciously slowed down, not daring to pounce lightly.
"Look at you, you don't look like the Yan Huang Army, who are you?" one of the soldiers asked cautiously.
"I'm from Baicheng, my name is Bai Muxue. Her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was a bit of helplessness in it. But she soon found the target person, she looked at the woman in blue who emerged from a huge sequoia tree, and said bluntly: "You are the princess of the demon clan, Lan Yu'er, right? ”
Lan Yu'er was slightly startled, first of all, she had never met, she didn't expect the other party to recognize her at a glance, and secondly, the most important thing, she really couldn't understand why this woman from Baicheng would appear in the Weiming Valley, didn't she know that she would die ugly like this? Take 10,000 steps back, even if she is not afraid of death, if she wants to appear on the battlefield, she should also appear on the battlefield in the eastern section of the wilderness, how can she run to the Weiming Valley?
This series of questions made Lan Yu'er extremely puzzled.
Lan Yu'er glanced at her and motioned for the two soldiers to take them down first. The two soldiers immediately rushed forward with understanding, and the two knives were crossed on Bai Muxue's neck.
The blade is cold, cold to the bone.
Bai Muxue lowered her head slightly in realization, looked at Lan Yu'er on the opposite side and said, "Is there such a treatment of the peace envoy? I am here to negotiate on behalf of the Yanhuang Sect!"
"On behalf of the Yan Huang Sect?" Lan Yu'er looked at Bai Muxue in confusion and said suspiciously: "The Bai family represents the Yan Huang Sect?
"Miss Ben will not change her name, and she will not change her surname. The master is Chu Yunchuan, believe it or not!" Bai Muxue said quickly as if she was setting off a cannon, holding her breath and saying quickly: "I know you are very confused, but I can't explain this matter to you clearly, because I myself am also very confused! In short, Kurosawa called me to pass the word, he said that he was tired of fighting, and he was willing to stop the war and negotiate with the Eternal Clan, as long as you no longer invade the Jade City, he can also withdraw his troops." ”
"So many people have died in my Heavenly Demon Army. Now for the peace talks. Are we lowly ants?"
"Then you're not going to agree?"
"Hmph!" Lan Yu'er snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Escort her down for me first!"
At this moment, no matter how arrogant Bai Muxue usually is, there is no temper at this time. was soon tied into a big dumpling by two rude demon soldiers. Half an hour later. She was taken to the Demon City. She thought she could meet Situ Sheng, but what awaited her was death row with four high walls, and for a moment. It's really like a dead heart, and I feel like I've really become an ant this time, and I may be trampled into slag every minute.
The dungeon was damp and cold, and she sat in the corner with her knees crossed, looking at the iron fence made of dark iron, and said to herself, "Oh my God...... Why is my life so bitter, heaven and earth, bless my pig-headed master to get the news quickly to save me......"
Whether Chu Yunchuan can get the news or not is unknown for the time being, one thing is for sure, Situ Sheng is thinking about how to treat this prisoner of war.
In the quiet Demon Emperor Palace, Situ Shenggao, who was wearing golden soft armor, sat on the imperial chair.
Lan Yu'er understood the ins and outs of the situation, and proposed: "Holy King, this may be Kurosawa's delaying tactic, now that our army has the upper hand, we must not miss this great opportunity! In my opinion, we had better break through the defense line and take the Jade City directly!" Every time she thinks of her dead subordinates and the broken army who committed suicide in Yicheng, Lan Yu'er's beautiful face can't help but flush with a solemn color, which is the color of anger, and she can't wait to break the Yan and Huang army into pieces.
She looked at Situ Sheng expectantly, hoping that he would refuse to negotiate peace.
Only by refusing to stop the war can we avenge the blood hatred of the dead subordinates, and only by refusing to stop the war can we seize the Heavenly Dragon, extract the essence of Longyang from it, and relieve the pain of the ancient corpse poison for the clansmen.
However, Situ Sheng only smiled and did not speak.
Lan Yu'er, who was agitated, couldn't help but add: "Holy King, this is our only chance!"
Situ Sheng said thoughtfully: "Hei Ze's thoughts, you don't understand, he is hinting to me that he wants to join forces with our army and destroy Chu Yunchuan first." ”
"...... join forces?" Lan Yu'er asked puzzledly, "What do you say?"
"Bai Muxue is one of the core figures of the Bai family, and he was ordered to attack Nangong Fort before, but he should have been captured alive by the coalition forces to have this fate. Now, Kurosawa forced her to come here to run errands, the purpose is obvious, he wants to send us a hostage, so as to blackmail Chu Yunchuan. ”
Lan Yu'er was secretly shocked, she really hadn't analyzed this layer before.
Situ Sheng continued: "It is undeniable that this is a two-sided delaying tactic and a mutually beneficial strategy. If the two armies stop fighting and negotiating peace now, Kurosawa can put all his energy on the side of Nangong Fort, and we can also transfer the army eastward and recover the lost territory in the Dragon Domain. ”
What does the Holy King mean...... Agree to peace talks?" Lan Yu'er was a little anxious.
"I have no interest in competing with ordinary people, I have my sacred mission, and I have my principles. Situ Sheng stepped down from the high chair and said bluntly: "The war that should happen cannot be avoided, and the war that should not happen, I will not deliberately mix it, everything will go naturally, and I will not forcibly interfere." ”
The more Lan Yu'er listened, the more confused she became, and asked, "What about ...... How, exactly?"
"It's okay to negotiate peace, unless he voluntarily uses Tianlong as a bargaining chip, but Kurosawa obviously won't be so generous, so he can't talk, since he can't talk, then there is no need for peace talks. Situ Shengjian raised his eyebrows lightly, and after a pause, he suddenly said: "The dungeon is cold, just put Bai Muxue under house arrest in the guest room." ”
“......!!!”
Lan Yu'er has always thought that she is a smart person, and today she is completely confused. She stared at Situ Sheng's face for a long time, and she didn't understand which one he wanted to play.
Whether it is from the previous personal grievances or the current situation, Chu Yunchuan and any one of the Bai family are Situ Sheng's mortal enemies, Lan Yu'er really can't understand what reason he has to impose a soft policy on Bai Muxue.
However, Lan Yu'er didn't plan to ask more, as long as Situ Sheng didn't make peace. And keep his original promise, he will relieve the pain of loneliness caused by the ancient corpse poison for the whole clan, and no matter what decision he makes, he will support him. Lan Yu'er replied: "I'll arrange it." When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and smiled, "Holy King, you are a very attractive man. ”
"You're very discerning. ”
If there was a mirror in front of him, Situ Sheng would probably find that his smile was very sunny.
After seeing Lan Yu'er leave, Situ Sheng glanced at the guards in the hall and waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat. When there were no other strangers in the temple. Situ Sheng swung out a mana. Shut the door of the temple and shouted tirelessly: "Come out, old fellow, I know you've been watching me all along." ”
"Huh? Ten years of retreat. The skill has grown. ”
Laughter rang out in the void. Then a white light fell from the roof, it was a fat old man with kind eyebrows, the originator of the former Shendu - Tianyuan Old Ancestor.
Situ Sheng obviously didn't have a good impression of this Heavenly Ancestor. Turning his back to him, he said, "Before, the front line came to report that the city of Twilight had been lost, and there were countless casualties...... I don't move your precious apprentice, but your precious apprentice keeps biting me, this can't be said, should you interfere?"
"I can't interfere in human wars. ”
"Then why are you still staring at me sniffingly?"
"I'm here for sightseeing, can't I?" the Heavenly Ancestor flew down to the king's chair and looked at the chair like a naughty child full of curiosity. It was boring to play, he looked at the big pillars in the hall again, and praised with joy: "These little demons really have some skills, and they actually make a demon hall so magnificent." ”
Situ Sheng turned around and looked at it, and couldn't help but say with contempt: "Remind you on behalf of your apprentice granddaughter, can you not be as embarrassed as a turtle who has never seen the world?"
"You are commanded by a turtle, isn't that not even as good as a turtle?"
"......!!!" Situ Sheng wiped a cold sweat and said depressedly: "Are you all so fond of playing tricks? ”
"Aren't you looking for trouble?" Heavenly Yuan Ancestor said slowly: "Actually, you can also sit idly by like me, whoever is the human emperor who dominates the Eight Desolations in the future has nothing to do with you, and it will not affect your enlightenment and canonization." ”
Hearing this, Situ Sheng looked depressed, and said helplessly: "I promised the Eternal Clan to help them relieve the pain of loneliness caused by the Taiyin corpse poison. ”
"After all, you and Chu Yunchuan's kid have the same virtue, and they both like to meddle in things. ”
"Fart, who has the same virtue as him!" Situ Sheng hated others the most for classifying him and Chu Yunchuan as the same kind of people, especially after the Great War of Twilight, he felt that Chu Yunchuan was an idiot! Back then, if he hadn't risked his life to stand up to him, that idiot would have already cut himself off, how could he survive until now. "If I save the Eternal Race from the sea of suffering, it will be considered a merit, and you will calculate how many creations there are?"
"Hehe, I knew that you kid was for creation, which is called no profit and no morning. While laughing, Tianyuan Ancestor was sitting in a precarious position, pinching his fingers very seriously and calculating, and said: "The accumulation of front and back is not enough for seventy-seven forty-nine weights. ”
"......!!!" Situ Sheng said depressedly: "How much worse?"
"Kuju. ”
"It's not fair! It's so unfair!" Situ Sheng complained with a grumbling heart: "The matter of recreating the derivative realm was created by gathering the strength and wisdom of so many people, I think that at the beginning, in the process of finding the seven kinds of affection, I also made efforts, but in the end, the benefits all fell on your apprentice alone! ”
"Not convinced?"
"Hmph! It's you, you take it?"
"The battle of the Dragon Domain was detonated by you and the Feather Cloak Fairy, the Jiangnan Old Monster and others, and there is no way to avoid it. Look at the other two people, the old monster in Jiangnan has died a long time ago, and although the fairy in feather coat has the skill of creating the world, it is still difficult to escape in the end, what about you? You are still alive and decent, what do you have to disagree?" Tianyuan Ancestor said with disdain: "Don't know how to be grateful to Dade, back then, if I hadn't pointed you out a way, you would have died a long time ago, and you still want to become a god?" ”
"Don't say it so badly, okay......"
"If you want to hear something good, there are some of them. The Heavenly Ancestor stroked his white eyebrows and smiled evilly: "Hehe, it's actually not difficult to get another ninefold creation, it depends on whether you are willing to work hard." ”
"If you have a fart, don't sell it to me, you should know that if there is no seven-seven-forty-nine recreation, I will never be able to manifest Nirvana, as long as I can get it together, I can say anything. ”
"Where you lost your creation, where you find it. ”
"To put it bluntly. ”
"Stupid. The Heavenly Yuan Ancestor glanced at the white of his eyes and said, "You people have harmed the Dragon Clan, of course you have to start from the Dragon Clan, isn't that Qinglong Prince already born? ”
Hearing this, Situ Sheng fell silent.
He knows very well that the current dragons are cloned with genetic technology, although they continue the bloodline of the ancestors, but there is no sense of inheritance in the imprint of life, and because of this, the strength of the dragon clan is not as good as before, and it is much easier to train the dragon than before. However, if their bloodline inheritance is awakened and they realize the meaning of their existence, after breaking through the prohibition of power, it is likely to bring a new round of disasters.
After all, hatred is a curse that every intelligent creature cannot erase from memory, and dragons are no exception.
Situ Sheng said worriedly: "A thousand years ago, we tamed the dragon into a demon and won the Ding and the Immortals, if the Qinglong Prince was awakened, wouldn't he slaughter the whole world......? This is too risky, and it is very likely to cause chaos in the world, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"Hehe, knowing that I am worried about the common people means that I am not wrong. The Heavenly Ancestor encouraged: "The world is not chaotic, there is its own providence, you don't need to bear the consequences, fundamentally speaking, everything is cause and effect." Your mission is to make up for the mistakes you made back then, and it has nothing to do with you what will happen next. ”
"You're trying to induce me to sow new consequences. ”
"Do you plant or not?"
“......!!!”
Situ Sheng wiped a cold sweat, entangled in the inability to answer this question, if he didn't want to say at all, it was undoubtedly a nonsense with a clear conscience, 7749 re-creation is the premise of his nirvana manifestation and enlightenment to become a god. In the face of this great temptation, anything can be done.
However, from the perspective of life, there have been many natural and man-made disasters over the years, and if there is another catastrophe similar to the Dragon Domain thousands of years ago, it is indeed unbearable.
Just when he was very entangled, someone outside the door suddenly made an urgent report: "Saint King! General Yan Yi sent an urgent report from the post city: Chu Yunchuan has personally led the troops out, and he is only a thousand miles away from the post city, and the troops will come to the city in a few days, please ask the holy king to send troops to support quickly." ”
"I already know, stand down. ”
"The subordinates retired. ”
When the footsteps outside the door faded away, Situ Sheng looked at the indifferent Tianyuan Ancestor and said, "Hear it, your precious apprentice has already gone into battle in person, if I stand by and watch, what will happen to those soldiers below?" (To be continued......
