Chapter 524: The Land of Divine Elements
In the legends of later generations, there are many prosperous kingdoms in the magical world of the stars, and they rule the vast and vast territory of the Celestial Upper Domain. It is: the country of confusion, the country of broken clouds, the country of seclusion, the country of gods, the country of Bi'e, the country of the Yellow and Tang Dynasties, and the country of the flowing moon, a total of seven countries with different folk customs. Outside the territory of the Seven Kingdoms, there are still infinite cosmic connecting channels, and the sea of stars is endless.
The seven countries of the star field have offensive and defensive alliances with each other, and there are few wars but more trade. Just because the star field is a whole to the outside, and the Purple Dragon God Realm above the starry night has the intention of attacking, so the great powers of all parties are united in the same breath and fight together for the freedom of the star field. For thousands of years, the alliance of nations has defeated the heavenly soldiers sent by the divine realm again and again, protecting this world from invading.
Zhanxing Mountain is located at the border of the country of Shensu and the country of Bi'e. The two countries are bounded by valleys, each with half of the mountains, and this star-gazing mountain is beautifully landscaped and extremely high. Over the years, there are nebulae shrouded in brilliance, as if there are gods living in it. And when you reach the top, you can overlook the rivers and mountains of the two countries like a bird, which is magnificent and vast, and it is a great spectacle. And because Zhanxing Mountain is the passage of the border between the two countries, the merchant teams between the two countries pass through this place.
The country of gods is rich in gorgeous starlight, and the starlight flows on the body, which is beautiful. Sold to the neighboring country of Bi'e can be profitable several times, and in the country of Bi'e is also a prolific jade Zhang's amber, craftsmen in the workshop hand-polished, you can make the jade value-added, please master craftsman, it is more valuable. Therefore, the merchants of the country of Shensu mostly exchanged the precious star silk for jade to make a profit.
At this time, the group of chariots and horses who returned from afar in Zhanxing Mountain was the caravan returned from the country of Shensu. The banner held high in front of the road is as clear as fire, and it is the word 'summer' that takes the lead. The chariot followed, and several cartloads of jade passed by. The merchants who were on the side put down their work and watched endlessly, and there were many discussions.
It turned out that this Xia family was a well-known businessman in the country of Shensu, and his family had the property of the enemy country. However, what is even more commendable is that the head of the family, Xia Ningxuan, has a pair of peerless daughters. The eldest daughter, He Hua, is brilliantly talented, knows everything about poetry and songs, and has the appearance of a falling goose and a sinking fish. Ning Xuan, the head of the Xia family, married his eldest daughter Hehua to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is now the hero of the country of gods. In a few years, she will become the future queen of the kingdom of the gods.
He Hua married into the royal family, which made the Xia family famous. But Xia Ningxuan still has a little girl under his knees who has not married out of the family. The woman's name is Qiu Ju, and it is rumored that Qiu Ju's appearance and virtue are even better than her sister's, but Miss Qiu Ju is now in her prime, but she has not yet married another man. Legend has it that the people who came to propose to Miss Qiu Ju could line up from Yangxi City, the capital of the country of gods, to the Yingchun Lake outside the city.
Although there are many men who admire Miss Qiu Ju, Miss Qiu Ju has never been allowed to marry lightly. She is waiting, waiting for a man who knows her and understands her to love. Just like the chrysanthemums that bloom in the autumn season, they are beautiful and unworldly, light and distant, and the dark fragrance is quiet.
The carriage passed by, and she inadvertently lifted the beaded curtain, and immediately looked at the many men standing in the dust. Her eyes were as bright as the magnificent stars in the sky, and her skin was as white as the mutton fat and jade of the country. She's in the convoy too! The men looked at each other on the road, but in the car, she had already lowered the beaded curtain and walked away.
The Xia family's convoy entered the Zhanxing Valley, and out of this place was the realm of Shensu. However, there are mutations. A purple star as big as a bucket suddenly descended from the sky in the distance, and it fell in front of the Xia family's convoy. All the horses neighed, and everyone was afraid. That Xia Ningxuan has traveled north and south all his life, and he has also seen some strange things. But a meteor from the sky has never been seen in front of me. He immediately ordered everyone to step back to protect the young lady, drew his sword at his waist, and boldly approached the smoke and dust in front of him. A purple halo was faintly visible, as if there was something in it.
When I looked closer, it was a young man who had passed out. His whole body was bathed in brilliant purple light, and streams of seemingly mysterious energy surged in his body like a tidal wave. But it gradually weakened, and gradually, the purple light of the protective body gradually dimmed, and he let out a faint moan, and the breath in his mouth was like a gossamer, and there was still a life.
"What's ahead?"
Because of the meteor falling, the cars and horses behind invariably stopped. Miss Qiu Ju pondered curiously, and couldn't help but ask the maid who was looking out of the carriage. She was eighteen years old, and this time she had to pester her father to go out with the Xia family's caravan, just to gain some knowledge. Take a look at the world outside. So she is very curious about everything outside.
"Miss, it's really strange! A person fell from the sky in front of her!" The maid was also exclaimed, seeing that the Xia family helped the dying man over, and hurriedly opened the bead curtain for the young lady to watch, Miss Qiu Ju's beautiful eyes were waves, but she saw that the man's life was in danger, but she had a wisp of consciousness. At this time, when it was important to save his life, he came out with the support of the maid and pleaded with his father:
"Daddy, let's save him!
Xia Ningxuan saw her daughter pleading for this man, and nodded lightly. But the Xia family's carriages and horses were all piled up with jade, and there was no place for him to rest. Miss Qiu Ju was kind-hearted, and seeing that this man was scarred all over, she couldn't bear to abandon him in the wilderness.
After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth, and immediately instructed the maid: "Jin'er, you quickly help him into my carriage! ”
"But Miss, he's a man!" the maid who called Jin'er immediately said in surprise, but she saw that Miss only cared about saving people, so she had to order the Xia family guards to step forward and help the man in distress with her and send him into Miss Qiu Ju's carriage. At this time, the purple blossom in this man's eyes will fade, but his consciousness will gradually sober up. He turned his head and smiled at Miss Qiu Ju with all his might, and was immediately helped into the car.
There was only a faint smell in her nose, and the car was very spacious, and she sat in. However, at this time, Lu Yang only felt that the mana around his body seemed to be drained, and the demigod cultivation in his body was exhausted and dried up.
Just as Elder Kunpeng said when he was leaving, due to the limitations of the great cosmic power in the star field, Lu Yang at this time only had the cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm left. Maybe as he gradually adapts to the aura of this heaven and earth, he can still restore his previous cultivation, but this process is long, and it also means that he has to find the clues of the 'Star Domain Heavenly Pill', and he will have to endure for a long time.
"Where are you from, and why are you hurt like this?" asked Miss Xia Qiuju with concern. She only felt that this man had a good background, especially his previous purple eyes, and there was a tenacity and persistence in them that she had never seen before.
"Miss Domon rescued her, in Xialuyang, from the Outlander Realm. Struggled for his life in the space storm and went through hardships and dangers to come to the star field. He smiled bitterly, but he was full of gratitude to Xia Qiuju. Although the carriage and horses were bumpy, it was a blessing for Lu Yang to be able to lie on the fragrant and soft brocade mat, instead of being exposed to the mouth of the beast in the wilderness.
"Ah, you're from a foreign land!"
Miss Xia Qiuju's mouth opened slightly, surprised. She is young, and she lives in the boudoir on weekdays, and she has never heard of the existence of the human world outside the star field. At this time, she really wanted to keep Lu Yang at home, on the one hand, to let Lu Yang recover from his injuries, and on the other hand, she wanted Lu Yang to tell her the story of the legendary world in her spare time.
But just as she was about to say something to keep Lu Yang, outside the carriage she heard people shouting and neighing, and countless arrows were fired like rain, and the guards escorting jade in the Xia Mansion were shot off the horse one after another, and the maid Jin'er hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered, and exclaimed: "Oh no, Miss! There is an ambush outside!"
"Daddy!"
Miss Qiu Ju was shocked and was about to go out, but was desperately pulled by Jin'er, but when she saw the sound of killing outside, dozens of black-clad assassins with swords in their hands climbed down from between the two valleys and slashed with their swords. Immediately killed with the guards of the Xia family. Xia Ningxuan fought hard with his sword, but there were fewer and fewer followers, and he couldn't kill. can only shout his daughter's name loudly outside, let the remaining guards leave him alone, and quickly protect the young lady and escape!
However, this group of masked thieves only killed the guards and servants, did not rob the treasures in the car, and did not injure the driver of the young lady's car. Just besieged Xia Ningxuan and several clan guards, Xia Ningxuan was stabbed and blood and tears flowed out, but at this time, he didn't care much, just opened his eyes and stared at those thieves who were watching all the time.
"Get out of the way! don't hurt my son-in-law!"
Suddenly, the thieves parted and gathered a man dressed in a flower robe with a wicked smile on his face. Xia Ningxuan looked at it with his eyes, but he recognized this person. It turned out that there was a wealthy Ling family in Yangxi City, and this Ling family was quite industrial, and it was also a rival to his Xia family in commercial competition. But the descendants of the Ling family are a gentleman, and they are headed by this unruly Ling Shaoyu son. He connived at his family to bully the people, and even did all kinds of evil.
And Ling Shaoyu is the most lustful, I heard that the Xia family has Miss Qiu Ju's natural beauty, and immediately prepared a sheep wine ceremony to ask for relatives in the Xia family. But how could Miss Qiu Ju fall in love with such a stubborn person? Because Miss Hehua of the Xia family has married the descendants of the monarch and can be called a wealthy family, Ling Gongzi does not dare to be too presumptuous in the Xia family. But I was thinking about Qiu Ju's beauty, and I didn't think about tea and dinner. So I set this plan to rob the girl on the road!
"Ling Shaoyu, you are here to intercept and kill, how is this different from a bandit? If the head of the family reports to the palace to ask Gongzi Fengxian Jun to lead the troops, he will definitely collect all your Ling family's private property and behead all the door!" The Xia family presided over the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.
