Chapter One Hundred and Eight: Page Snow
Sifangjing was originally the capital established by the demon clan, and it was located in Ji Miaozhou, which was not far from the border of North Qingyu and South Qingyu. When the north and south Qingyu were divided, the capital of the north Qingyu originally planned to move to Lancheng, but I don't know why, and then gave up.
No one knows why North Qingyu gave up moving the capital, but South Qingyu's capital was moved to Qianji City.
When Jinxiu arrived in the city of Sifang, the night had not yet faded, and he did not rush to find Ziche Yexue, but stayed in an inn in the city first.
The inn is the property of Yunfu Heavenly City, and it was originally open at night, but for the arrival of the young city lord, the boss was in good spirits.
Declined the boss's hospitality, Jinxiu finally sat down in a secluded room that would not be disturbed.
The letter in his hand turned into a small finch and flew out of the window, and then disappeared into the night.
On the second day, a little bit of fish belly white was slightly revealed, and a guest came to the inn.
The boss personally brought it to Jinxiu and said, "Young City Lord, the person you want to see has arrived. ”
Jinxiu looked at the man, it was a very ordinary boy in Tsing Yi, and when he saw him coming, he arched his hand and said, "Young city lord, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"It's been a long time. ”
Jinxiu nodded his head at the man, and then said to the boss, "You go get busy first." ”
The boss immediately nodded and said, "Okay." If the young city lord has any orders, just mention it. ”
When he had said this, he turned and took his leave.
The man who was brought by the boss followed Jinxiu into the door, and asked with a bit of seriousness: "Why did the young city lord come to Sifang Jing this time?"
Jinxiu said: "There are some things that need to be handled. It's General Yun, how are you doing here?"
That person was the Northern Qingyu General Yun Yan, who had changed his face and left the border to return to Sifang Jing, and sighed when he heard this: "The situation is not very good. ....... Most of the important ministers of the court have turned into demons, and those who have not turned into demons have also been impeached. The power of the left and right phases is like the sun in the sky, and although His Majesty has not been replaced, he is like a puppet, and he cannot call the shots in everything. ”
Jinxiu had guessed that the situation in Sifangjing might not be good, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Yun Yan continued: "It's just that for some reason, it seems that they don't plan to do anything now. Although many ministers have been subjected to the forbidden art of the demon clan and turned into demons by humans, they have not done anything superfluous except for replacing all their people with the imperial court. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that now Sifang Jing and even the entire Beiqing Yu would be completely chaotic. ”
After listening to him, Jinxiu couldn't help but think in her heart that since Cangyue chose to let him come here to find Che Yexue, the right prime minister, then the other party should not be from the side of the demon clan, so it is not surprising that there will be the situation that Yun Yan said.
"Cold Water City has now fallen into the hands of the demon clan, although their great array has been completed, but Yiluo Immortal Venerable and they have moved their hands and feet at the formation on the side of the Extreme North Ice Field, causing the Demon Clan in the Extreme North Ice Plain to be unable to reach the other side smoothly. Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the demon clan in the Sifang Capital did not act rashly. ”
Yun Yan had only heard about the loss of Coldwater City, but there was no news about the formation at all. Now that he heard Jinxiu say this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "If that's really the case, it's good news." ”
Jinxiu pursed her lips, but she didn't say the purpose of her trip. If he said it, with Yunyan's character, he would definitely have to stop it in every possible way, even if he took out this is the order of the goddess, it would be useless.
In the end, the two exchanged information with each other that both parties knew, Yun Yan was now lurking in the Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, as the companion of the prime minister's son Yunqing, but it was inconvenient to stay outside, so he quickly left.
After he left, Jin Xiu sorted out the situation in Sifangjing now, and saw that the sky had become a lot, so after talking to the boss, he went to the right minister's mansion with an umbrella.
By the time it arrived, the original light rain had turned into a downpour. Although the rain can't fall on him with spiritual protection, in order not to be different, the umbrella in his hand is still well held in his hand and covered above his head.
It is not easy for a person who has never been to see the prime minister of a country, but fortunately, the guards guarding the door are not snobbish eyes, and after Jinxiu took out the token given by Cangyue when he left to welcome the guests, he politely took it into the house to ask.
Jinxiu didn't wait long outside the door, but after a while, the guard had already hurried out and said to him: "This son, Xiangye, please come in and talk." ”
Jinxiu lowered her eyes slightly, suppressed all the thoughts in her eyes, and said, "There is labor to lead the way." ”
The guard naturally answered yes in fear, and then led him all the way to a courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion that he obviously couldn't enter casually.
His attitude made Jinxiu inevitably feel a little curious. However, he was curious, and he didn't ask directly.
The guard made a gesture of invitation and said, "Xiangye is inside, so if it's inconvenient to enter the son, go by yourself." ”
Jinxiu nodded, and then entered the courtyard gate by herself.
In the courtyard sat a young man in a snowcoat, who was clearly past the age of bundling his hair, but his long hair was unrestrained and scattered, and it looked like ink from a distance, but when he got closer, he could see that his hair was a heavy dark blue instead of pure black.
This kind of hair color is not common. Jinxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Prime Minister Ziche." ”
Ziche Ye Xue turned around, his face was very feminine and evil, with a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, and hundreds of millions of stars in his eyes. When he looks at you, it is as if all the light has stopped on you alone, and if your mind is a little less firm, you will be bewitched by his appearance, whether it is a man or a woman.
"The young city lord of Yunfu Heavenly City, Jinxiu. He said this, although his tone was indifferent, but it seemed to carry a small hook, and the hearts of the hooked people followed.
Before Jinxiu could reply, he chuckled, pointed to the opposite of him, and said, "Please take a seat." ”
"Thank you. ”
Jinxiu didn't say anything polite, and sat down opposite Ziche Yexue with a sweep of his robe.
Seeing him like this, Ziche Ye Xue turned her eyes a few times, and then asked, "Have you seen Your Highness?"
Jinxiu paused, and then said, "I've seen it." ”
Ziche Yexue's eyes seemed to be a little cold, but it seemed to be a little aggrieved after him. He sighed sadly: "We have been looking for His Highness for so long but there is no trace of her, but you kid has seen ......."
Jinxiu didn't care about the jealousy and grievance in his tone, and asked intently, "You?"
"Nature is us. Ziche Yexue glanced at him, and then said: "Oh, you humans call His Highness a demon god, and those of us who follow His Highness will also be beaten as demons." Hmph, if we are really demons, can we have such a peaceful life in the world?"
When Jinxiu heard this, she immediately reacted to his identity.
The Twelve Demon Generals.
Or rather, the twelve gods.
He suddenly remembered the various sects of the Immortal Sect that had not yet found the whereabouts of the demon general, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. The others don't know yet, but Ziche Ye Xue's body doesn't have any demonic energy, but it is a clear spiritual power, so it's strange to find it.
His mind moved, and he suddenly asked, "What did the seniors do in this Quartet Jingzhong?"
Hearing this, Ziche Yexue asked a little absent-mindedly: "You said those monsters?....... Back then, His Highness wasted so much thought to drive them out of the continent on the other side, and now everyone who wants to make trouble has been killed by me. As for the obedient, keep it first, and it is not good to influence you human beings. ”
When he said the last sentence, he did not hide his serious disgust at all.
Jinxiu sighed slightly in his heart, with only a few words, he could be regarded as understanding the character of the right prime minister. However, the other party can sit in the position of prime minister, and I am afraid that it is not just this side that I see now.
Jin Xiu didn't plan to know too much about the affairs in the Beiqing Yu court, so he changed the topic and said: "I came to you, senior, this time, because I was ordered by Her Royal Highness the Goddess to let you do something. ”
As soon as she talked about Cangyue, Ziche Yexue's attitude suddenly changed, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Jinxiu said: "The goddess ordered you to go to the Arctic Ice Field, and relieve the obstacles set up by Yiluo Immortal Venerable there, so that the demon clan can come to the continent on the other side smoothly." ”
"Why do you do this?" asked Ziche Ye Xue with a slight twist of her eyebrows, a little puzzled. But he didn't wait for Jinxiu's answer, and instead said, "However, since it is His Highness's order, then I will just do it." ”
He wasn't worried that Jinxiu would come to deceive him. Mo said that the token given by Cangyue in the other party's hand could not be imitated by others, even if it was really a lie to him, this move would do all kinds of harm to the entire human race, and Jinxiu was also a human being in the end, unless he had turned into a demon like those people in the court, then he would definitely not do such a thing that harmed others and himself.
Ziche Yexue is a very strong person with a lot of action, and once he agrees to something, he will definitely implement it immediately. What's more, such an order still comes from Cangyue's mouth, and he will only act faster without slacking off.
After Jinxiu finished speaking, he disappeared directly, not caring at all that the other party was still in his prime minister's mansion.
Jinxiu didn't expect the other party to say that the wind is rain like this, and he didn't stand up from his position until everyone had disappeared for a long time, looking at the silence of the Arctic Ice Field.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jinxiu did not leave and returned to Dafu Fengyun City.
He returned to the inn, refused to be asked by the boss if he needed help, and sat alone in his room, meditating and thinking about what had happened recently.
Jinxiu was a little curious about what Cangyue's purpose was. From the few times he had contact and the time the two met each other during the reception, he could see that the other party did not intend to take revenge on humans, but the choices made by the other party so far did not look like they did not intend to anger humans.
"No matter what, Luo Jincheng shouldn't be involved....... Jinxiu muttered, but his brows were always locked and never let go.
In the afternoon, Shen Yan's messenger white crane flew from the direction of Guguan Mountain. When it fell into the hands of Jinxiu, it turned into letter paper as always.
Shen Yan's eighth nirvana has been successful, which is great news.
Holding the letter, Jinxiu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw that it was written at the end that she was going to leave Guguan Mountain to find the opportunity for the ninth nirvana in the world, she couldn't help but frown again.
This was proposed by Bai Zhi. The ninth nirvana is the most difficult one, and most people in this world will let their guard down on the last hundredth step because they have successfully completed the first ninety-nine steps, but they don't know it. Although many things are difficult in front of them, the most difficult thing is the last step.
One wrong step is a waste of all the previous efforts.
Shen Yan agreed with Bai Zhi's words. Not only to find the opportunity for the ninth Nirvana, but also to find someone who can practice the Nirvana Heart Sutra.
"If I really fail at that time, there will still be someone who can take my place and cultivate the Nirvana Heart Sutra. But....... Mankind has come through such a difficult time back then, and there is no reason why we can't survive this catastrophe now. ”
This last sentence is clearly a word of comfort.
Jinxiu remembered what the black-robed man said in the Butterfly Valley at that time, and he said that you humans are nothing more than this now.
Compared with the time when they were united and not afraid of hardships in order to survive, human beings have indeed degraded a lot because of the too comfortable environment.
Think about it, after the demon clan was expelled from the continent on the other side, even if there were still demons on the continent, they were quickly arrested by the cultivators or killed directly, or sent to the locked demon tower in the door for refining. Humanity suffers the most, on the contrary, from the wars waged by the monarchs of various countries for the land.
With a slight movement of his fingertips, Jinxiu lit the letter paper in his hand with spiritual fire, watching it burn to ashes and finally disperse with the wind.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
It was the innkeeper's voice: "Young City Lord, the son who came early in the morning has come to you again." ”
Jinxiu suppressed all the thoughts in her heart, and said calmly: "Take him directly to me." ”
The boss replied yes, followed by a series of distant footsteps.
After a while, Yun Yan had already arrived here, he looked at the back of the boss who left, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Young City Lord, I just got the news that the right prime minister is missing. ”
Hearing this, Jinxiu paused slightly.
He knew where Ziche Yexue was going, but at this moment he also knew that it was not easy to talk to Yunyan about this matter. So he said: "General Yun doesn't have to worry too much about this matter. The right prime minister is not from the demon clan's side. ”
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
