Chapter 122: The Land of Miracles (2)
What's going on in this world? Nobody knows. Looking at 'Mao, Chinese, and Wangjiu Ling Zhenjun, he felt cold in his hands and feet, and he couldn't stop trembling.
The past is not the past, is it still today?
Li Yan suddenly asked, "May I ask you, what are you doing?"
Before he knew it, he had put the knife back into its sheath, because the demons were not hostile to them.
The demons looked at each other and laughed, and although their voices were rough and ugly, they had no evil intentions. Yuan Qingqiu waved his hand, stopped laughing, and said, "Our Demon Spirit Army is the first division in the Nine Armies of the Su Shen Kingdom, and the brothers are all demons and monsters, and there is not a single human being.
On weekdays, we were afraid of frightening the people in the city, so we had to camp in the forest. I just heard what seemed to be another quarrel here, so I came over to see if anyone needed help, wouldn't this be a few of you?"
Li Yan was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaws, it was unheard of for the demon genus to help humans.
Yuan Qingqiu understood the meaning behind his expression, and said with a smile: "Indeed, for the past tens of millions of years, people's impression of demons has always stayed on being cruel and easy to kill.
However, in our country of Shoshen, this situation is long gone.
After all, what do demons need? The Pure Land of cultivation and the life of leisure, these are just two things, and they are not much different from ordinary people. If that is the case, why can't we all live together peacefully?
You must know that in ancient times, the relationship between humans and demons was like this. You should have heard of Dayu, his wife Tu Shan is a demon fox......"
"But," Li Yan wondered, "Then what do you eat and drink?"
"Who told you that monsters must eat people?" Yuan Qingqiu showed two sharp teeth and smiled: "Let me tell you, the taste of human flesh is actually not very good. It's a little sour, it's not chewy, and if you accidentally eat the meat of a drunken person, it's really a torture for the stomach.
Monsters eat people, most of them are just forced to do so.
If we don't eat people, people will not be afraid of us, and if they are not afraid of us, they will take up knives, guns, and sticks, set fire to mountains, turn forests into fields, and encroach on our homes step by step.
So in order to avoid this from happening, youkai must eat people. ”
"If it's really like you say......"
"You want to ask the queen how she solved it, right?
It's very simple, there is only one sentence: people live in people, and demons live in demons.
The queen gave us only one out of a hundred domesticated animals in the country to make food. Every day, you will see people driving pigs and sheep into the mountains. Look at 1 yarn 3 Chinese network you are lucky not to meet us at that time. Because of that time, the humans in this area were not protected. Every living creature will become the object of our hunting. ”
"Unprotected...... Doesn't that mean you can kill as many people as you want?"
"Again, this kind of behavior is confined to the area where we live. Yuan Qingqiu said: "If humans and demons want to coexist, the first thing they have to learn is mutual respect. Do you know what awaits a demon who breaks into the capital without the queen's orders?
Stranger, you feel unfair because you always look at it from the perspective of 'people'. If you can look higher, you will find that the current state is the best for both parties.
Humans can rest easy knowing that powerful demons are protecting them, and we, demons, can go to war and fight for glory in addition to a secure life. Isn't that what you need?"
These words made Li Yan unable to refute.
Judging from the description alone, this Su Shen country is even much better than the Great Liang a thousand years later. For thousands of years, people have pursued nothing more than this kind of life.
Yuan Qingqiu suddenly looked at the sun that was slowly moving to the west, and said to the three of them: "The three of you are guests of the Swift Victory Country. Come, let me take you to the capital, where you can learn more. ”
He waved his hand with four tiger heads and scorpion tails, and the monster with ribbed bat-wings stepped forward, bowed his head obediently, Yuan Qingqiu whistled, and this strange mount flew towards the capital with a few people.
But I can hear the wind in my ears, and the magnificent barren mountains stretch in all directions at my feet. The idol of the Queen of Buliugu raised her arms high, as if to signal to them.
Half an hour later, the clouds and mist suddenly dispersed, and a city wall that was on the ground suddenly appeared in front of several people.
After looking at this city wall, Li Yan knew that the statue of the queen of White Wolf Peak was by no means the tallest building in the Great Wilderness Mountain. Because the walls are much taller and much greater.
It stands on the earth like a relic of the age of the gods, but it speaks of the greatness of man.
If you stand under the walls, you can't see the top of it, because it's already deep into the clouds.
Hundreds of stone pillars line the city wall, supporting the beacon at the top. Each pillar is as majestic as a mountain.
In the middle of the city gate hangs a golden star like a symbol, competing with the setting sun in the distance, radiating dazzling brilliance.
Around it, twelve golden dragons with fangs and claws circled upward, arching and guarding the stars.
And that's just the view from the city walls.
The city is slim, with buildings everywhere and palaces towering. Countless buildings are dotted around, the big ones span the valleys and mountains, and the small ones are also 100 feet high. Not to mention the palace, like a phoenix about to fly, with the dome as its wings, facing the sky.
When the red sun sets opposite, Venus rises in the city.
But when Venus dimmed, the phoenix was reborn in the light of the rising sun.
What kind of handiwork, what kind of spirit? This city is a miracle that is beyond its time, and no one could have imagined that a city could be so grand.
Li Yan and Xiao Hongyu were stunned, and at this time, the monster secretly fell into the clouds and landed next to the official road in front of the city gate.
Yuan Qingqiu arched his hand and said: "Three of you, please, Yuan can't enter the city, so I'll send it here." ”
Jiuling Zhenjun hurriedly said: "This ...... This Master Yuan, can I visit you again another day?"
Yuan Qingqiu smiled: "Very welcome, just don't rush to our meal." With another whistle, several monsters flew him into the clouds.
The three of them were surrounded by an endless stream of people, who seemed to have come from elsewhere.
Li Yan stopped one of them and asked, "Uncle, dare to ask where you are from?
The old man shook his head: "No. Xiao Lao'er is a native of the Central Plains and fled here for refuge......"
Nine Spirits True Monarch was suddenly startled, grabbed the conversation and said, "Now the Central Plains also knows the name of Su Shen Kingdom?"
"Of course!" replied the old man earnestly: "People say that Su Shen is the first country in the world, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and a rich country and a prosperous people. There are no rivals in the universe at all. Our Emperor of the Central Plains has to pay tribute to Su Shen every year!"
When Jiuling Zhenjun heard this, he was both relieved and sad, and muttered: "Ayu, it seems that without me, you will only be better...... I'd better not go see you. ”
Xiao Hongyu couldn't bear to see his lonely appearance, so she persuaded: "Grandpa, since you are here, why don't you meet the queen." What's so important about your thoughts?"
The old fox said, "But I'm ...... now," he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Now that I'm like a ghost, where can I have the face to see her?"
I thought she was in danger and needed me to be her hero. But now it seems that I am self-inflicted. cough, that's fine, it's 'better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes'. I'll be content to see her safe, what else will I see?
Li Yan was thinking about Meixue, but seeing that Jiuling Zhenjun was somewhat desolate, he couldn't bear to mention it again, but persuaded him: "Zhenjun, why don't you go and have a look, you have spent a lot of trouble, aren't you just for this day?"
Jiuling Zhenjun sighed and said, "Then let's go and see tomorrow." If I have the chance, I'll stand far away, and you can help me look at her and tell me if she's fat or thin. ”
Li Yan said: "Old man, why bother?"
Jiuling Zhenjun shook his head lonely: "You don't understand. Then he sat down against the wall, bowed his head, and seemed to be asleep.
If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were dry, I am afraid that they would have been full of tears.
Li Yan suddenly remembered that Chen Zhi'er was like this when she was wronged when she was a child. She wouldn't say anything, just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but the pillow got wet.
When he thinks of Zhi'er, he unconsciously thinks of Miyuki.
Is she okay in this world? How is she doing? Will she starve and freeze?
Li Yan suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head, she is Meixue, so she won't be so down. She always has more ways than herself, maybe she has settled down in this world.
So what if she has a sweetheart?
Li Yan's heart sank suddenly, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. If that's the case, what should I do? Can I have the courage to forget about the rivers and lakes like the Nine Spirits True Monarch?
Li Yan looked up at Mingyue and sighed, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
However, he didn't know that Xiao Hongyu on the side was also staring at him with the same infatuated gaze at this time......
The next day, the three of them set off early in the morning, but they were deflated when they inquired.
It turned out that the capital was very large, and if you wanted to reach the palace, you had to ride a fast horse for three days and three nights. Besides, there are so many people who want to pay homage to the queen every day, and after ten years, it will not be possible to see it at all.
Hearing this news, Jiuling Zhenjun breathed a sigh of relief instead, and said to the two of them: "It is precisely that there are times in life that must be there, and there is no time in life when you force it." After all, Ayu and I are inseparable. Forget it, let's go.
Master Li, thank you for your kindness in the past two days, the old man will help you find someone. ”
So the three of them found a feng shui shop, bought a sub-hexagram plate, and Jiuling Zhenjun calculated it on the street.
When the Nine Spirits True Monarch was bowing his head and thinking hard, he suddenly heard a soft sound in front of him, which seemed to be the sound of a coin falling to the ground. At the same time, one of them said: "Hey, old man, how much is a hexagram?"
Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we're not fortune tellers......"
If it were in normal times, the Nine Spirits True Monarch would definitely scold the person who came, and then humiliate him severely.
But now that he was angry, he had a sense of self-deprecation, waved his hand to Li Yan and said, "Master Li, it's okay." Count their hexagrams, just two fingers, and it will be regarded as a good deed. ”
Seeing that Li Yan didn't object, he asked, "What does this master want to test?"
