Chapter 277: Elder Manda
The stone didn't wait for Yang Luochen to reply, he picked up Yang Luochen and ran to the end of the long street, like a strong man carrying a child.
Yang Luochen hurriedly opened the stone's hand hard, his body fell to the ground lightly, the stone stopped, looked at Yang Luochen with a surprised face, and said, "You actually have so much strength to break free." I thought you didn't have the strength, but when the wind blows, it's gone."
Yang Luochen asked in a cold voice, "Where are you going to take me?"
Shi said with a smile: "That, our northern barbarians only talk about strength, and they don't have as many rules as you southerners. The eldest princess asked me to take you to our elders."
Yang Luochen then asked, "How do you know my identity?"
Shi Shi took out a portrait from his bosom and returned: "This is the portrait given to me by the eldest princess, I am afraid that I will forget, I have always carried it with me, I have been waiting for you here for ten days"
Yang Luochen really didn't know what this young master Kun Yao was up to, but Yang Luochen was really unfamiliar with this place, and it was not bad for someone to answer, and besides, this place was not very far from Wangmo City, and Yang Luochen also wanted to hear more news about the Demon Capital.
Thinking quickly in his mind, Yang Luochen said: "Okay, I'll go with you, but I'll go by myself, I don't want to be carried."
Shi shook his head and returned: "No, the elder will leave in a while, I'm afraid that you will be slow and you won't be able to see the elder, and the eldest princess will scold me."
The stone said that he was about to come to catch Yang Luochen, Yang Luochen lightly touched the ground on his toes, stepped on the arm of the stone, jumped over the top of the stone's head, grabbed the clothes on the stone's shoulder, lifted it up, and asked, "Where is the elder?"
Shi Shi was already unable to close his mouth in surprise, and Yang Luochen then asked: "Didn't you say that time is tight, quickly tell me where the elder is?"
The stone then pointed to the city tower hanging in the distance, Yang Luochen carried the stone directly to the sky, and then turned into a red light and disappeared on the street, and the people on the street thought it was a miracle, and knelt on the ground to worship.
According to the direction pointed by the stone, Yang Luochen carried him and soon appeared in front of a bell and drum tower. The bell and drum tower is very high, almost the tallest building in the city, and it is all made of large stones, and a large bell hangs on the top in the middle.
Yang Luochen put the stone down and asked, "Where is the elder?"
Shi looked at Yang Luochen with admiration and pointed to the top of the bell and drum tower and returned: "The elder is waiting for you above"
Yang Luochen didn't go to the main gate, and jumped to the edge of the big bell lightly, and the stones on the ground quickly ran into the bell and drum tower.
The bell is hung on a platform that extends down to form a staircase, which is much larger than the usual staircase, leading to the bottom of the bell and drum tower.
Yang Luochen walked on the edge of the platform, looked at the big bell, and by the way, he found the elder that the stone said, but he walked around but didn't see anyone, which was a little strange.
"King Dingfeng, old and polite"
Suddenly, an old man's voice came from behind Yang Luochen, Yang Luochen was startled, the person who could appear behind Yang Luochen unconsciously must be higher in strength than him, how could he not be surprised.
Yang Luochen hurriedly turned around, saw this person clearly, and his face twitched a few times.
I saw a person who was only the size of a child of seven or eight years old, with gray hair and beard, kneeling down in front of Yang Luochen, and this scene was very strange.
Yang Luochen hurriedly squatted down and helped this person up, only then did he see the appearance of this person clearly, he was extremely old, his face was wrinkled and undulating, his age spots were also particularly conspicuous, and his eyes were cloudy, as if he had reached the twilight of his life and would soon die.
Yang Luochen asked curiously, "You are the elder that the stone said?"
This person walked back: "King Dingfeng, the old barbarian, is one of the elders of the barbarians, and it is the eldest princess who asked me to wait for you here."
Yang Luochen simply crossed his legs to the opposite side of Manda, and Manda also sat down cross-legged, Yang Luochen asked, "What did your eldest princess ask you to wait for me to do?"
Manda said slowly: "The King of Dingfeng is going to see the Demon City?"
Yang Luochen nodded, and Manda continued: "That's right. Not long ago, the eldest princess sent a letter, asking me to wait for you here, and introduce you to the Extreme North Demon Capital, so that the King of Dingfeng can be mentally prepared."
Yang Luochen was very surprised, except for the Yao Tianfeng of Haotian Sect, the Nine Elders, and the Ming Fa Abbot of the Praruo Temple, everyone else knew about it, why did Young Master Kun Yao know?
But no one can answer Yang Luochen's question, Yang Luochen is even more jealous of Young Master Kun Yao, this kind of person is unpredictable, it is indeed terrifying.
Thinking of this, Yang Luochen sighed, and said to Manda: "If the elder has anything to explain, Luo Chen must keep it in mind."
As soon as the barbarian heard this, he quickly knelt down and said reverently: "The king of Dingfeng said this and tormented me, the old man dare not bear it, my barbarians are all the people of the great wind, you are the king of the great wind, what does the king of the wind want to know, the old man must know everything and say everything."
Yang Luochen hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Elder doesn't have to be like this, I am already a cultivator now, and I am no longer a king in the world, you and I are young and orderly, let's get along with ordinary people, otherwise I won't be used to it."
Manda got up at this time, looked at Yang Luochen, and said: "It is said that the King of Dingfeng is ruthless and arbitrary, and with a wave of his hand, he slaughtered five cities and killed hundreds of thousands of Gale people, it seems that this statement is not true."
Yang Luochen smiled bitterly and returned: "I had no choice but to do it back then, and I can't tell you the specific situation, and I only learned today that Gale actually has such rumors as me."
Manda nodded, sat cross-legged and returned to Yang Luochen, at this time, the movement of the stone had already come, and the entire bell and drum tower began to tremble.
Manda shouted to the bottom: "Stone, I have something to talk to the King of the Wind, you are guarding the door, don't let anyone come up"
Only then did the bell and drum tower stop shaking, and the loud sound of the stone also came, "I know the elder"
Only then did Manda say to Yang Luochen: "King Dingfeng, the destination of your trip is the Demon Capital?"
Yang Luochen nodded, Manda's face changed, and then he said: "Since the eldest princess is entrusted by the eldest princess, the old man will tell you the origin of the demon capital in detail, and you can also make preparations."
Yang Luochen wanted to know, but remembered what the stone said, this elder had something to deal with, and hurriedly said: "Elder, this matter is not urgent, if you have something to deal with, you can go first, I can stay here for a few days."
Manda was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Yang Luochen to say this, which really surprised him, a smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "The King of Dingfeng is really extraordinary, but the old decay has misunderstood you by hearsay." Since the King of Dingfeng is not in a hurry, it is better to go with the old man."
"Where to go?"
Manda slowly got up and returned: "King Dingfeng will follow me to Wangmo City to open an elder's council, so that they can also get to know you, they have the same misunderstanding of you as me. If it weren't for the eldest princess's entrustment, it would be difficult for the old man to refuse, I'm afraid this misunderstanding would have continued."
Yang Luochen also stood up and returned: "Elder Manda only knew that Luo Chen was a person when he saw me for a while, I'm afraid this statement is a bit false."
Manda didn't mind, and said with a smile: "The King of the Wind may not know anything about my barbarians, the old man has been an elder for so long, and it is rare to see the King of the Wind with such clear eyes, the old man will not be mistaken."
Elder Manda didn't care what Yang Luochen thought, he walked down the stairs, and said as he walked: "King Dingfeng comes with me, I will tell you about the origin of the barbarians along the way, I'm afraid that King Dingfeng is also very curious, why are we different from the people in the south of you."
Yang Luochen was really curious, but no one asked, feeling like he was in another world. Looking at Elder Manda's weak body again, Yang Luochen followed.
Soon, the two of them went out of the bell and drum tower one after the other, and the stone saw that Elder Manda came out, and bowed down to Elder Manda devoutly, Manda's thin and withered hand put on the head of the stone, and said in his mouth: "May the barbarian god bless you"
This kind of thing with a sense of religious ritual is the first time Yang Luochen has seen it, and he is even more curious about what kind of race the barbarians are.
The stone on the side slowly raised his head, carried Elder Manda on his shoulder, slowly stood up, and then gave birth to a big hand to Yang Luochen, saying, "King Dingfeng also come up."
Yang Luochen hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't want it, don't want it, I'm not used to being carried by others, I'll still follow you."
The stone was stunned for a moment, but Elder Manda said with a smile: "Hahaha, stone, don't force the Wind King, he is not as weak as me"
The stone smiled awkwardly, and the barbarian also said to Yang Luochen: "Don't be surprised by the Dingfeng King, this is the highest etiquette of the barbarians, and only the elders are qualified to sit on the shoulders of the barbarian warriors."
Yang Luochen didn't mind, but was even more curious about what was going on with this barbarian, as if it was not a cultural system with the people in the south, but it could be integrated into the gale.
Seeing that Yang Luochen didn't mind, Manda said to the stone: "Stone, let's go, go to Mancheng"
The stone nodded, and strode towards the front, one step is as long as three ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the pace of a little giant, Yang Luochen pointed to the ground on his toes, and his body was as light as a swallow to follow him, which made the stone curious.
The stone asked, "What are you, King of the Wind, how can you fly like a feather?"
Yang Luochen returned: "Just call me Brother Yang." I'm thinking of this as a light effort, it's just a matter of consuming some true qi, not like you spending physical strength."
Manda smiled and said: "Stone, call it Dingfeng Wang Gongzi, southerners call it that, it seems impolite to call the eldest brother"
The stone nodded, and then strode forward, and when the people in the street saw the brute on the shoulder of the stone, they all stopped, and bowed, very reverently, and when they were far away, they began their work.
This kind of thing Yang Luochen also encountered for the first time, those people's devotion to Manda is like the devotion of monks to the Buddha, Yang Luochen has also seen it in the main hall of the Panruo Temple, which is the look of the pilgrims when they kneel to worship the Buddha statue.
Seeing Yang Luochen looking left and right, Elder Manda had doubts on his face, and said to Yang Luochen: "King Dingfeng, my barbarian tribe believes in barbarian gods, and in the different places from your people in the south, the barbarian elders are equivalent to the messengers of barbarian gods."
"To the north of the gale there are 100,000 inhabitants of my barbarian tribe, which have always been in charge of our elders. Back then, the gale civil strife, the crown prince and young master Xiu controlled the north, but he didn't dare to provoke my barbarians, my barbarians also remained neutral for the last civil strife, and I also ask for the understanding of the king of Dingfeng."
Yang Luochen replied: "It's a good thing that the war didn't affect you, I didn't know that there were people like you barbarians in the north of the gale, even if I knew, I wouldn't use it." If I'm not mistaken, you barbarians must have been defending against something north of the gale."
After listening to Yang Luochen's words, Manda's eyes changed, and he asked, "How did King Dingfeng know about it?"
Yang Luochen didn't expect Manda to react so strongly, and quickly explained: "I also guessed, no one in the young master's family told me about you, and the national teacher was even more of a divine dragon, so it was impossible to tell me." Do you know Wushuang?"
As soon as he heard the word "Wushuang", Manda's face became solemn, and the stone also stopped, Yang Luochen didn't expect it to stop suddenly, rushed out, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that Wushuang has an enmity with you barbarians?"
Manda stared at Yang Luochen and said slowly, "How much do you know about Wushuang?"
Yang Luochen didn't know what happened to the barbarians with the two uncles, and he didn't dare to say more, so he said simply: "I don't know much, I just asked them to go out of the mountain to help me calm the gale, and I haven't seen them since."
Manda was skeptical, but Shi exclaimed: "What? The original Wushuang Divine Envoy was invited by you, Gongzi? We all thought that the national teacher asked them for help."
