Chapter 108: The Ancient City
There are no clouds in the sky, and blue domes cover the endless mountains. Thunder roared, but no lightning came down.
The nameless white-haired strange man stared at the sky, and an old man in purple pants and gray robe slowly flew in the sky, this old man also had white hair, but his face looked a little haggard, he kept smiling, but the smile was very unnatural and very contrived.
The white-haired old man landed beside the white-haired stranger, Shen Xing and Li Gu both looked at them in surprise, but Bai Jiu'er didn't think so, after all, she was also a demon spirit.
The white-haired strange man looked directly into the eyes of the white-haired old man, and said word by word: "Lei! Big! Sheng! You old bastard, not to mention stealing the elixir of Young Master Ben, you still dare to spread wild in Young Master's territory, do you really think that Young Master Ben will not dare to destroy you!"
The white-haired old man named Lei Dasheng blinked, but he ignored the white-haired stranger, walked to Shen Xing's side, bowed down and said: "Although the young master's spiritual sense has not been opened, he has inherited the spirit of the body, it seems that the old master does not want to wake up the memory of the young master's dusty six thousand years." Anyway, my old bones can still move for a few years, and Lao Lei is at the disposal of the young master at any time. ”
Seeing this thunder demon suddenly talking respectfully to himself, Shen Xing was obviously a little caught off guard, and asked rhetorically: "What young master old master, how do you know that I am a Lingtu Absolute Body, are you a member of the Lingtu clan, didn't the Lingtu clan perish as early as six thousand years ago?"
This white-haired monster is the Thunder Demon, named Lei Dasheng.
Lei Dasheng was very respectful in front of Shen Xing, and said in a low voice: "The old man is not from the Lingtu clan, but he also has a great relationship with the Lingtu clan, because the old man is also a spirit body that transcends the Three Realms and Five Elements. Like me, the white-haired, nameless guy next to me, is also a spirit. Now we are waiting to show up, just to welcome you, young master. ”
The more Shen Xing listened, the more confused he became, and continued to ask: "You said that you are not from the Lingdi clan, why do you keep calling me the young master?"
Lei Dasheng explained: "Six thousand years ago, at that time, the ancestor of the young master was still the patriarch of the Lingtu clan, and he was also my master. The old master foresaw that the Lingtu clan was about to become extinct, so he cast 3,000 magic methods to transform a hundred spirits, and I was one of those hundred spirits. ”
"I'm one of the hundred. The white-haired weirdo interjected.
Shen Xing understood a little, so he said: "Is it that the ancestor created a hundred spirit bodies to protect the descendants of the spirit in order to protect the only remaining descendants. ”
"It is in this way that the mission of the spirit is to protect the descendants of the spirit. And each spirit is responsible for protecting a generation of spirits. Now that it's your generation, it happens to be the hundredth generation of the Lingdi clan. The spirit responsible for protecting your generation is Xuanyu, the Mystery Master. Moreover, the Lingtu Ancestor also said that when the Lingtu Absolute Body awakened, it was the time when the spiritual power in the body of the stone monkey Sun Wukong exploded. You must have a good relationship with the Monkey King, he will help the Lingda clan to rise again. Lei Dasheng said.
After hearing this, Shen Xing looked at Bai Jiu'er in shock and confusion, and said in confusion: "You said that every generation of the Lingdi clan has a spirit body to protect it, but Bai Jiu'er is also a spirit body, why doesn't she know these things you said." Also, isn't it the Shen family who protects the descendants of my Lingdi clan?"
Bai Jiu'er also looked puzzled, nodded and said, "Yes, I don't have any memory of the Lingtu clan you said, and I even told me about whether I was a spirit or the elders of the fox clan." ”
Lei Dasheng sighed lightly, then fell on Li Gu's body again, and asked, "What about you?"
Li was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
At this time, the white-haired strange man walked over with a chuckle, patted Lei Dasheng on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "Now you should believe me, more than half of our spirits have been sealed by the Black Sand Clan." Some have their memories sealed, some have been sealed with their cultivation, and some people's memories and cultivation have been sealed. Xuanyu's old thing was sealed and cultivated, so he abandoned the young master and hid alone, he was afraid of offending the Black Sand Clan again. ”
Lei Dasheng showed a look of sudden realization, and said to Li Gu: "No wonder you didn't respond to me when I greeted you just now, dare you have also been sealed in memory and cultivation?"
Li Gu was puzzled: "When did you greet me?"
Lei Dasheng suddenly became irritable and shouted: "Lao Tzu just sent down so many divine thunders to make you ready to come out to meet me, you have even forgotten Lao Tzu's usual way of greeting?"
The white-haired stranger glanced at Lei Dasheng, shook his head and said, "Heh, now you should completely believe what Young Master Ben said." How many times have I told you, don't keep shrinking into your turtle shell and cultivating some bullshit god thunder. If you want to go out and walk more, I don't know how many country names have changed in the world today. By the way, the legendary Hongmeng Tribulation three thousand years ago has come once, not to mention that you don't even know such a big thing. ”
After listening to these words of Lei Dasheng and the white-haired stranger, Shen Xing also suddenly understood something.
"It turns out that everything I have experienced is not accidental, my master Xuanyu and my sister are spirits, and even General Li Gu is spirits. It seems that some things have been arranged by the ancestors as early as 6,000 years ago, and such things sound simply mythical, even more mysterious than myths. ”
Shen Xing muttered to himself, Lei Dasheng looked at him thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Yes, the old master has already arranged everything, just waiting for a descendant who can inherit the Lingdi Absolute Body to complete his plan, how can this wait is six thousand years." ”
Shen Xing asked, "What is the ancestor's plan?"
Lei Dasheng shook his head and said, "I don't know what the master's plan is. ”
"I remember that the master said that in order to complete his plan, he must let the descendants gather the five spirit beads, and find back the spirits scattered all over the world, and most importantly, get the help of the stone monkey Sun Wukong. "White-haired weirdos.
Shen Xing sighed: "The Five Spirit Beads are the supreme treasure of guarding the world, how can I get it?, and after so many years, where do I go to find a hundred spirit bodies, it is like a needle in the sea. As for Sun Wukong, he has long since left, and he also told me about me being a descendant of Lingdi, and the ancestors also deceived Sun Wukong, will he still help us?"
The white-haired weirdo chuckled, "Just let it be, let it be." Since the master had already arranged it 6,000 years ago, the little master would have encountered other spirits in the future. Just like the little master met several of us spirits in front of him, he didn't know our true identity before, but this is how they met naturally. ”
"Well, since the ancestors were able to foresee the future from now to the present six thousand years ago, I will no longer deliberately solve this puzzle and do what I want. Now there are wars and the kingdoms are divided. I want to stop this war, and I thought it would be extremely difficult to do it before. But when I met you today, it won't be a difficult thing. As spirits, all of you have special skills, are you willing to follow me to recruit the heroes of the world and calm the troubled times?"
Shen Xing faced the few people in front of him and issued a questioning tone.
Bai Jiu'er grinned and took the lead in expressing his position: "Senior brother will unconditionally support whatever Jiu'er does!"
Li Gu also smiled and said: "The son has the world in his heart, what reason does the last general have to refuse?"
Lei Dasheng and the white-haired weird man also laughed heartily at the same time, and Lei Dasheng said loudly: "Lao Tzu's hands have long been itchy, and the smell of blood is the most charming!"
Shen Xing smiled with satisfaction, looked at the white-haired stranger, and said, "You have no name and no surname, how should I call you in the future?"
The white-haired strange man said: "The little master can call me nameless, and from now on Nameless will swear to follow me to the death and never betray him." ”
Shen Xing took a deep breath, unconsciously clenched his fists, and thought: "Father-in-law, eldest brother, you can look at it, although Xing'er is not the Yang family, but he has long been the soul of the Yang family, and now he finally has the strength to fight against the Twenty-six Kingdoms." Father-in-law, let Xing'er fulfill your wishes. If I don't calm this troubled world, I will never look back!"
Lei Dasheng and Nameless took the initiative to fall under Shen Xing, Shen Xing took Li Gu's old department to recruit troops everywhere, and now the melee between the twenty-six countries has entered a white heat, of which sixteen countries were swallowed up and occupied by the ten countries, and among the ten countries, in addition to the Yuan Kingdom, Jing Kingdom, Xia Kingdom and Zhennan Kingdom and other large foreign countries, the Pearl Curtain Kingdom, a small country at the end of the twenty-six countries, actually swallowed three countries, and became one of the top ten powers in one fell swoop.
Teng was once the main battlefield of the 26 countries, and since the 16 countries were swallowed up by the 10 countries, the armies of various countries have withdrawn from the territory of Teng, and the reason for these armies to retreat from the border of Teng is that there are no resources to use here.
Because of the war, the people fled to a place where no one was around, and there was a strange scene of no one in the vast land of Tengguo, and this land was like a dead land.
When the armies of all countries withdrew from the border of Teng State one after another, Shen Xing's small army quietly returned to this land.
Returning to the Imperial State again, the air was still filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and the city was even more dilapidated, full of broken bricks and tiles, full of endless sadness.
Standing in the ruined capital, Shen Xing sighed and said to Li Gu, Lei Dasheng and others behind him: "Now that the Teng Kingdom is in ruins, and the people have fled to the deep mountains and old forests, where are we going to recruit new soldiers?"
Nameless patted the dust on his shirt, straightened his hair, and said, "I have traveled all over the world and met many strange people. If we can get their help, the strength of our army will increase a lot. ”
Li Gu sighed: "The reason why Teng Guo was defeated so quickly is because the twenty-six countries have three sects and nine streams secretly helping, and they want to blackmail Teng Guo's generals to force Yang Hua to surrender. Therefore, Yang Hua's incompetent guy fled from the Imperial State with a group of concubines, and now he doesn't know where to go. ”
Lei Dasheng was impatient and irritable, looked at the dilapidated scene around him, and shouted loudly: "At the beginning of the founding of the Teng Kingdom, Lao Tzu traveled around this land and learned that it was the rangers of the Five Elements Gate who helped the then lord of the country establish the Teng Kingdom. I still remember that it was at that time that Xuanyu began to pretend to be a disciple of the Five Elements Sect to swagger and deceive everywhere, and that kid was beaten up by me at that time, but he still didn't change his life, not only did he keep swaggering, but now he even deceived the little master, if he saw that old boy again, Lao Tzu would have to pick his skin!"
When Shen Xing heard this, he had a flash of inspiration in his heart and said, "I remember that when I was a child, Grandpa Shen, who adopted me, always told me that he was a descendant of the Five Elements Sect, and when I learned that my true identity was a descendant of the Lingdi clan, he ignored this issue. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that these Five Elements Gate has some kind of connection with the Lingtu clan. ”
Nameless said: "The disciple of the Five Elements Sect has the technique of the Five Elements, and his mana is outstanding. But this group of people is generous and does not like to kill. It's hard to get them to help us fight the world. Moreover, when the Teng State was founded two thousand years ago, some of the disciples of the Five Elements Sect who helped the then lord of the country were also imprisoned by the elders of the Five Elements Sect. ”
Shen Xing said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Five Elements Gate can't be counted on, and now there are only three ways to expand the strength of the army. The first is to find Yang Hua and other remnants of the army who have not surrendered to the enemy and persuade them to join our team: the second is to obtain the Five Spirit Beads and use extraordinary power to deter the nations: The third is to find all the spirits scattered in the world, this method is the most difficult, and a large part of the spirits have been sealed with memories and cultivation. ”
Nameless nodded and said, "Now I can only go to find the Five Spirit Beads, and on the way, look for those generals who have not surrendered to the enemy. ”
Lei Dasheng said: "The Golden Spirit Bead and the Wood Spirit Bead fell in the Western Three Realms Mountain, the Water Spirit Bead was submerged in the abyss of the East China Sea, the Earth Spirit Bead and the Fire Spirit Bead were the treasures of the two ancient cities in the Northern Frontier respectively, Taigu City and the Flame City were adjacent to each other, but they did not belong to any country, and the location was at the junction of the Teng Kingdom and the Great Capital Kingdom, we could set off there." ”
Shen Xing looked at the dozens of soldiers who had put on their armor again behind him, and sighed lightly: "There is no place for the soldiers to settle in this huge capital Imperial State, and even the General's Mansion has been smashed by the miscellaneous pieces of the countries. Thank you for your hard work, you should have enjoyed the life of retreating to the mountains and forests, but it was I who caused you to re-engage in this war. ”
A veteran shook his hand firmly and said, "What did Gongzi say, as a citizen of Teng State, he served the country. When the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible. ”
Nameless patted Shen Xing's shoulder, smiled faintly, and said, "Born in troubled times, you can't be soft-hearted. ”
Shen Xingdao: "My father-in-law also said that a good boy was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements. When commanding thousands of horses and thousands of troops, scolding Fang Xuan, wearing a military uniform and pointing at the world!"
At this moment, the young Shen Xing was full of spirit, revealing the enthusiasm and pride in his heart.
Bai Jiu'er couldn't interject either, and stood silently beside everyone.
The army stayed in the Imperial State for half a day and then marched north.
After a few months of marching, Shen Xing also gained something, recruiting some wandering recruits on the way, and now the marching team has expanded to about three hundred.
Today, everyone finally came to Taikoo City and saw the style of this ancient city.
Taikoo City is surrounded by a vast desert, the city is ancient, the flying yellow sand reflects the vicissitudes of the ancient city, after thousands of years, wind, frost, rain and snow, scorching sun and cold, it is still majestic.
The city is full of people and dust. Because of the war, when people saw the army led by Shen Xing entering the city, they all quietly hid, silently observing this team in the dark.
Shen Xing's face had grown stubble, he was wearing a military uniform and holding a spear, which made him more mature and manly.
In the process of recruitment, Shen Xing got acquainted with a little soldier, this little soldier is only eleven years old this year, because his parents were killed by the soldiers of Dajingguo, Shen Xing saw that he was quite pitiful, so he received it into his own ranks.
Because the boy was so fast, the warriors called him Little Leopard, and he didn't tell anyone his real name.
At this time, the little leopard was surrounding Bai Jiu'er, begging her to take her as an apprentice. Bai Jiu'er covered her ears and looked very crazy, sighed and ran to Shen Xing's side, and said, "Senior brother, the little leopard yells at me every day to accept him as an apprentice, it's so annoying!"
Shen Xing showed a serious look and said to Bai Jiu'er: "Senior brother is now busy with military affairs every day, so there is no need to report these trivial matters to Senior Brother. ”
Bai Jiu'er pouted and said aggrievedly: "Hmph, obviously you let the little leopard pester me, do you think I don't know? I know that my senior brother is afraid that I will be lonely, but Jiu'er is accompanied by these soldiers every day, and he is really not lonely." ”
Shen Xing sighed lightly, stroked Bai Jiu'er's long hair, and said, "I'm afraid that you will suffer, it will be very dangerous to fight with other countries in the future, and at that time, Senior Brother will have no time to take care of you, you must know how to protect yourself." ”
Bai Jiu'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's okay, I'm a spirit body, and ordinary people can't hurt me." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had a clear heart, and said in unison: "You are talking big again." ”
With that, the two laughed out loud.
A gentleman is like a jade, and the sword points to the world.
In the troubled times, how to take care of her, smiling like a flower.
