Chapter 3: Travels and Troubles
In the early morning, Zhou An got up very early. Because it was too noisy outside, I walked to the waiting hall after cleaning.
As he walked, he looked at his left arm, and a red crescent moon appeared. According to the clan's records, when the moon is full, the demon will fulfill his vow.
Suddenly I looked up, and someone in front of me was arguing. Who has the courage to go wild in Xihou Mansion, go and see.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, I stood in the hallway and looked at the bustle source. A golden figure was in the living room, drinking tea with Zhou Wu. Zhou Zheng was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, who is this. Could it be that Shangqing, who was newly sent by Great Xia, came over so soon.
"I'm here today because I heard that someone has been to West Magic Mountain. Someone saw the two sons of your mansion go to the Heart Demon Palace. I also ask Gongzi to hand over the people who have entered the demons, I am the head of the gods of Xirong, and I can be exempted from the responsibility of the Houfu. The golden figure said
"Lord Shanzun, this must be a misunderstanding. My brothers in the palace have never gone out in the past few days, how can anyone dare to go to the West Demon Mountain in violation of the rules of heaven. I don't know who told him that I could confront him face to face. Zhou Wu said with a sincere face
Zhou Zheng outside the door wanted to laugh a little, and no one in Xirong's entire young generation went to reason with this second brother. When the eldest brother was there, he was better than a few times. Now it is said that there is no way to win.
"God, there must be a villain who is causing trouble, pouring dirty water on our Houfu. All the sons have been dedicated to their duties and have never slackened off. This has the records of the historian, although viewed. Dr. Wen comforted beside him
Zhou An, who was outside the door, admired Dr. Wen more and more, and he deserved to be the family background of the ninth emperor. According to this development, the tenth Shangqing did not run.
"Zhou An, I'll pick it up later. I have some personal matters to attend to. Zhou An Zhihai was heard
Zhou Anzhi saw that in the sea of knowledge, a figure appeared. The man had long hair and was holding a sword in his right hand. Barefoot and stop-and-go.
"You have a grudge against this Xijon deity? This is someone sent by the Divine Court to monitor the Nether. I can't afford to mess with it, this is a big shot. ”
"Food, you don't have to choose. ”
Zhou An only felt a feeling of sleepiness, he appeared in Zhihai, but he couldn't control his body. There is still external perception.
Watching himself walk towards the hall step by step, Zhou An shouted in the sea of knowledge to stop him.
The golden figure wanted to say something, and was pondering.
Zhou An walked in front of him and kicked the golden man out with one kick.
"Who are you to dare to attack the Divine Venerable?"
Looking at the golden figure against the wall, Zhou An stepped out. He had already appeared in front of the Jin man, grabbed his neck and threw him into the yard.
"What is so great about a first-class servant. You remember that my name is Zhou An, now let's start again. ”
"Who the hell are you?" Feeling that the divine power in his body was uncontrollable, the Xijon god asked with some panic
Zhou An didn't answer, do you still need to explain the reason between gods and demons.
In the living room, Dr. Wen was drinking tea. didn't panic at all, playing with a piece of jade on his body.
After hearing the roar in the courtyard for a long time, he spoke: "This Lord Divine Venerable, Shouyuan is about to die, and his mind is confused. In the absence of evidence, come to the door to ask for someone. He dared to use such a faint trick, no wonder the Star Monarch in the sky didn't give him a chance. ”
"The gods and demons are not in harmony, as long as they are seen. There will be a big war between the two, and this god dares to come because of this. It's just that a first-class god is pressed like this, and the 'demon' in the third brother's body must be extremely high among the seventy-two heart demons. It is much more difficult to terminate the contract, and the doctor's trip to the royal city will be tiring and troublesome. Zhou Wu sat in the living room and said softly
Dr. Wen nodded and said yes, this time, the treasure has been prepared. In addition, there are already three favored ministers, and they are very sure.
"Zhou Wu, this person has fallen into the devil. If you don't help each other, you are not afraid of the punishment of the human king and the divine court?" the golden figure in the courtyard roared angrily
No one answered, as if there were only two people in the waiting house. Stretching out his hand to block, Zhou An's fist was embarrassed.
Zhou Yan, who was standing in the distance, had a somewhat solemn face, and he recognized this mountain venerable. It is the head of the gods of Xirong, which is equivalent to the peak of the third realm of martial arts. is comparable to his strength, and martial arts and qi training are all five realms. But no one in the Gods and Demons Continent has yet reached the fifth realm, and the peak of the third realm is already an existence that cannot be ignored.
"He was suppressed, otherwise he would mobilize Xirong's heaven and earth aura. Generally, the martial artists of the fourth realm will not be his opponents, it seems that the 'demon' on Zhou An's body is not simple, too, if it is simple, how can he impress the divine envoy of the royal city. It's a pity that Zhou is safe......," an old man appeared and said softly
"Third Elder, what do you mean......" Looking at the blind old man beside him, Zhou Yan asked
"The Divine Court assesses the gods of the Gods and Demons Continent, and half of them are about 'demons', what if you can't catch them, make them yourself......" The blind old man said with a smile
......
An hour later, at the gate of the West Houfu.
Thirty carriages were lined up, and Zhou An's body was a little sore at this time. After watching the hundred beauties get into the car separately, they were a little speechless.
Tribute to the Three Treasures, a Sinan chariot, a five-colored peacock, and a hundred beauties. It turns out that Xirong is so much weaker than Great Xia, no wonder the lords of a country have been detained.
Finally leaving this sad place, Zhou An suddenly felt a little happy.
"Why do you want to fight the gods of Xirong?" Zhou An asked in his heart
"Our demon clan was sealed by the masters of these people. I couldn't find the original owner, so I hit their dog and let out a bad breath. ”
In the distance, a cavalry appeared on a white horse. Each man had a spear, and the silver armor glistened in the sun.
Unexpectedly, this time the family values it very much. Even the Zhen clan's iron cavalry 'Silver Armor Cavalry' sent five hundred.
Ride a red steed and listen to the declaration of the acting patriarch Zhou Wu. Zhou An was a little bored, but it was still the same formula.
Looking around at the crowd, he turned his head and saw an old woman standing in the courtyard of the Houfu.
Zhou An turned over and dismounted, standing straight. Walking towards the Houfu, Wuxiang was a little puzzled, this guy was serious and similar to the person who was talking nonsense in front of him.
Coming to the old woman, Zhou An made a big gift. A ritual second only to prostration. He did not speak, and the old woman motioned to rise.
The person in front of him is the wife of Zhou Hou of the previous generation and the mother of this generation of Hou Ye. is also Zhou An's grandmother, he only has respect for the elderly, and has no closeness to others.
When his mother died, Zhou An, who was a concubine, was adopted under the name of the old man. There was neither a cold greeting nor a cold eye, but Zhou An had a talisman in the Zhou clan. The master always said that it was the old man's protection that allowed him to survive. He doesn't understand why.
The old man didn't say anything, just stood. Zhou An had no choice but to stand according to etiquette, and Mrs. Hou in the distance was also standing alone.
When Zhou Wu finished speaking, a burst of shouts was uniform. Zhou An saluted and said goodbye, took two steps back and turned to leave.
"Third brother, take care. Zhou Wu looked at Zhou An on the horse and said
Zhou An chuckled and said, "Rack"
On the red horse, Zhou An was a little excited and dazed.
Left, nasty place. But he had to go to another unknown place, and thirty carriages slowly moved forward behind him.
Behind Zhou An, who took the lead, Dr. Wen and Zhou Yan followed.
At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Tai'an, the last generation of Mrs. Hou, looked at the team that disappeared in front of her and did not go back.
Therefore, the contemporary Mrs. Hou can only wait. Zhou Wu's face was a little tired, and Zhou Yu beside him looked even worse.
After that, Zhou Wu's wife and her dependents were waiting at the back.
Mrs. Tai'an turned around and entered the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Hou helped her. Walked up to Zhou Yu and stopped.
There was a crisp 'pop' sound, and everyone was stunned.
Zhou Yu covered his face and knelt on the ground, and Mrs. Hou just wanted to open her mouth to comfort, but Zhou Wu coughed lightly. Mrs. Hou had no choice but to hold back and helped Mrs. Tai'an into the Hou Mansion. No one dared to ask why, and no one dared to persuade.
Zhou Yu, who was kneeling at the door, did not get up, this was his chance. A chance to make amends, a chance to murder your own brother.
There are five grandsons who are most favored by Mrs. Tai'an, and they happen to be five sisters-in-law. Everyone thought that Zhou An was not welcomed, but Zhou Yu understood. When Mrs. Tai'an adopted Zhou An nine years ago, everything changed. It took him all these years to figure out that when Mrs. Tai'an took Zhou An into the ancestral hall for the first time to worship her ancestors, Zhou An was Zhou Hou's third heir.
He lost Zhou Hou's inheritance because of his cowardice. When the divine envoy put forward the conditions for the Zhou clan's son-in-law to enter the demon, and it was transmitted to the Zhou clan, a test began.
His father was trapped, and as a son he was timid. For his mother's spiritual position to enter the ancestral hall, Zhou An is brave. So Zhou An won, and he lost the trust of the Zhou family. How can a person whose father is in trouble and does not save him make other branches believe?
The second brother was transferred, which was the beginning of this test, and Zhou An's trip was the end of the test. kneeling in front of the door to admit his mistakes, so that he could not punish himself when he came back in the future, and he also confessed his mistakes to other branches. He understood, so he pleaded guilty.
......
After riding for an hour, Zhou An was a little bored. Dismounted, walked into his carriage, and sat up cross-legged.
Wu Xiang sat on the top of the carriage and looked at the afterimage of the gods in the sky with an excited face. Some of them have to play on the road this time, and I have such a big credit on this side. Those divine servants still have to form a group to come over to arrest themselves, and they can't help but think of the taste of the divine servants' divine souls.
I don't know if there are many friends who have been fighting to this day. Anyway, the more the better, feeling that someone is perceiving. Shaking his head helplessly, this person is sensitive. It's a pity that the cultivation is a little worse, and he is destined to not find himself.
Zhou Yan in front of the convoy was a little worried, offending a first-class god. There was a big problem on the way to Wangcheng, and the perception continued to be released.
At dusk, the convoy stopped. After walking for 200 miles, the surroundings were deserted. Five hundred cavalry camped, and Zhou An walked out of the carriage with a solemn expression.
A momentum pressed down on his heart, and this momentum appeared just now, interrupting his cultivation. I felt everywhere, but I couldn't find the source.
"Don't look for it, it's your fellow elder. The trace of momentum he exudes, you can't bear it, it's normal. Wuxiang appeared and said
"Is there such a big difference between a martial artist and an immortal cultivator, I can't bear a trace of momentum. Zhou An asked with some confusion
"Your realm is too low, martial arts is the foundation of the creation of the human race against the demon race. It's just that the life is shorter than that of an immortal cultivator, and you have just started to be considered a strong person only when you reach the third realm. Wu Xiang said casually
Seeing Wuxiang grimacing in front of everyone, no one could see her, not even Zhou Yan, a powerhouse in the Flying Tiger Realm, he knew that he was in big trouble.
