Chapter 2: The Continent of Gods and Demons
Early the next morning, Zhou An picked up the jade pendant that the master gave him before he died. Asked him to check on the long journey, he had been listening to the two of them. One is a master, and the other is a mother.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he released his divine sense to look at the jade pendant.
There are a lot of words inside the jade, which are about this world.
Xiao An: The continent we are on is called the Continent of Gods and Demons, and this continent is very large. There will be all kinds of miraculous things inside, among which Qi practitioners like us are. In the eyes of outsiders, he is an immortal, but he has limited talent as a teacher, and he has only cultivated to the third great realm.
In the Terrans, the place where you are located is called Xirong, and in the center of the continent is the Great Xia Kingdom, which is the leader of the five major regions of the Terran Race. The human race has three cultivation systems, Great Xia, Xirong, and Dongyi, and the cultivation is pure martial arts.
Martial arts, you already know, Nanban is a practice of witchcraft, unpredictable, you should pay more attention when walking. Beidi practiced the art of totem, using the blood or soul of demon beasts to coexist with the human body. You can get the ability or power of a monster.
There are also forests, mountains and rivers that the human race has never set foot in, and there are spiritual things that flow from heaven and earth. Known as youkai, there are many that have formed a race, similar to humans.
Walking on the continent, you have to avoid 'demons' and 'gods', these two are not something you can resist.
......
Half an hour later, Zhou An opened his eyes.
Already sweating profusely, this world is so dangerous.
"Ha River, this world is more dangerous than you think. ”
"Who...... Pretending to be a ghost...... Come out ......" A fireball appeared in front of Zhou An and said angrily
Suddenly, Zhou An felt something pressing on his right shoulder, and turned his head to see that it was a foot. Zhou An reached out and grabbed his ankle and threw it under the bed, but the expected sound of the heavy object landing did not appear.
Zhou An saw the person in front of him, he didn't move, and he didn't shout. Because a black long sword was already against his neck, looking at the barefoot girl in black in front of him, Zhou An saw that she had the same long hair as his mother.
"You are my food Zhou An, you don't look very good, and your cultivation is too low. The barefoot girl said lazily
"You can't eat my soul for ten years, and you have to help me cultivate. ”
The girl put away the long sword in her hand, took a step forward, and stared at Zhou An with her eyes.
"It's so troublesome, what kind of agreement did the boss sign. But your soul is fragrant, it must be delicious. ”
Zhou An looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, and said seriously: "Hello, my name is Zhou An." I hope you can keep the agreement and teach me to cultivate. ”
"Five spices, the demon family. Give me your exercises and see if you want to change them. ”
Zhou An took out his own exercises and threw them at the girl.
"Kunlun's mental method seems to be still a powerful swordsmanship. No need to change it, meditate for me now. The girl threw the exercises to Zhou An and said
Zhou An meditated cross-legged, and the girl watched the aura between heaven and earth enter Zhou An's body, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Suddenly, Zhou An was a little tired, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the girl in front of him was absorbing something.
"What are you doing, why are you absorbing my soul power now?" Zhou An asked tiredly
"I'm hungry, just like that, you just have a little soul power, is the soul power of the human race so weak?"
"If I'm dead, you demons won't want to be sacrificed. Zhou An said angrily
"Okay, okay, if there is a cemetery nearby, I won't suck you. The girl asked impatiently
At the foot of Yin Mountain, which is 100 miles away from Xihou Mansion, there is a ghost town. Zhou An sat at the gate of the city, looking helpless, hoping that this 'demon' would be eaten by the yin in the ghost city, so that he would not have to die.
Zhou An walked to Yinshan, and Yinshan was the cemetery. This is the cemetery of the Zhou people, but it is not the main cemetery. Those buried here are the side branches of the Zhou people, and the descendants are buried on the Zhou Mountain.
Half an hour later, Zhou An stood in front of the two bluestone tablets.
A piece without a name is a wordless tablet. It took Zhou An three days to carry it down from Zhou Mountain, which was a little easier than digging this tomb himself for seven days.
Next to it, it reads: Tomb of the Clouds
He didn't cry, he didn't speak, he just stood quietly.
An hour later
Zhou An met a person at the foot of the mountain, who was one of the few Zhou people that Zhou An did not hate. It's just that the person in front of him is still a lot worse than another person he respects.
"Third brother, the matter of the Heart Demon Palace, I can't stand you. After speaking, the second son of the Zhou clan bowed to Zhou An.
Zhou An didn't dodge and asked, "Second brother is serious, the rebellion in Shanrong in the north has been dealt with?"
"It's just a little mess, it's been suppressed. ”
Looking at the man in front of him, Zhou An was in a trance. Xirong is the territory of the Zhou people, as the only marquis of Xirong. The Zhou people are the rulers of Xirong, and this generation of Xihou Zhou Xing is a well-known sage in the world. is also Zhou An's father, who was trapped in Wangcheng three years ago.
Everyone thought that when the dragons were leaderless, Xijon would inevitably be in chaos. But contrary to everyone's expectations, the younger generation of the Zhou family produced two handsome heroes.
The eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Wen used the technique of yang conspiracy to quell the civil strife. The second son, Zhou Wu, is only twenty years old, and he has already practiced to the third realm of martial arts, the Flying Tiger Realm. The two joined forces to settle down in Xirong, and even Zhou Zheng, who had prejudices against the Zhou people, felt that they could indeed support the burden of the Zhou people.
"Let's go to the ancestral hall now, Zhou Yu calculates that his brother is not so easy to pass. ”
The ancestral hall of the Zhou clan is located at the back of the Houfu, and now there are more than a dozen middle-aged people and three old people sitting in it. Zhou Yu's face was blue and swollen, and he knelt on the hard ground.
The main seat was vacant, and the ancestral hall was silent. Outside the ancestral hall, a noble lady was full of anxiety and kept looking in.
A maid beside him comforted: "Madam, now the ancestral hall is dominated by the second son, and the fourth son and the second son are both born to the lady, so there must be no big problem." ”
The woman ignored it, and Zhou An, who took out the rattan, sat next to the main seat. Zhou Wu appeared on the main seat, except for the three old men for a while. Everyone else stood up, their faces calm.
"Today's clan meeting has two purposes. Let's talk about the first one first, 'Zhou Yukeng's murder of his brother' must be known to everyone. Now according to the clan rules, the Zhou clan is expelled. Elders, what do you think? Zhou Wu motioned for everyone to sit down and speak
Zhou An looked at the silent crowd in front of him a little ridiculously, and he really could only be silent.
"As far as I know, it seems that Zhou Zheng volunteered to go to the Heart Demon Palace. Zhou Yu, this child, can be regarded as instigating at most, and expelling the Zhou family is too heavy. A blind old man said
No one echoed or objected, as if they couldn't speak.
"The three elders said how to punish them, there are too many people who harm their fellow clans and instigate them. If it is not punished severely, I am afraid that more people will follow suit in the future. Zhou Wu said in a deep voice
"It's just a waste, just a fluke to get the position of sister-in-law. Moreover, Xiaoxing was trapped in the royal city. Isn't it just right for the divine envoy to put forward the request of the Zhou clan's son-in-law to enter the demon. According to the order, it is also Zhou An, what else is fined. Another old man with a broken arm said
Zhou An's face changed, and he wanted to have a seizure, so he endured it when he thought that this was an ancestral hall.
"The second elder is also the sister-in-law of the Zhou family, and he can also enter the demon in order, and his position is higher than Zhou An's. A middle-aged man said sarcastically
"Thirteen, you say it again, try ......," said the old man with a broken arm with a grim face
Zhou An looked at the one who helped him with some surprise, the thirteenth count of the Zhou Yan Zhou clan.
"Okay, what do you say at such an age? Zhou Yu had no room for justification for plotting to kill his brother, but he was eager to save his father, and he did not directly harm him. He was punished to pray for Zhou Zheng for three years, and the clan interrupted his monthly money for ten years. As for Zhou Zheng, we will use the power of the whole clan to find a way to break the contract for him. The last old man spoke
"This matter depends on the meaning of the Great Elder. Zhou Zheng suddenly spoke
For a while, everyone was silent and no longer arguing. According to the clan rules, there are only two people in the world who are more authoritative than him in the affairs of the Zhou clan. Except for Zhou Wu next to him, Zhou Xing who was trapped in the royal city, even the elders who were already hundreds of years old couldn't refuse.
Zhou Wu sighed lightly, and then said, "Doctor Wen has already bought off the favored ministers around King Xia, and the divine envoy has also agreed to persuade. Now that the gifts have been prepared, I don't know which elder is willing to escort them. ”
There was silence again in the ancestral hall, Xirong was five thousand miles away from Xia Wangcheng. The road is long, and there are three more checkpoints to go through.
There are countless poisonous snakes and beasts, and there are many bandits and thieves in the mountains. Just the small and large tribes in the middle are very troublesome, and there are countless goblins.
If they are strong in the Flying Tiger Realm, forget it and protect a convoy. They were not sure, so they remained silent.
Zhou An sneered, and for a while, more than a dozen powerhouses in the Flying Tiger Realm were embarrassed.
"Since there is no one to ask for help, then I will volunteer, and I will personally deliver this gift. ”
Seeing Zhou Yan volunteering, Zhou An was helpless, this elder was much more outstanding than before.
By the time the clan meeting ended, it was already dusk. Zhou An walked slowly towards his yard and sighed helplessly when he saw the barefoot girl lying on his bed.
It's a pity that I wasn't eaten by a hungry ghost, sitting cross-legged on the ground practicing qi, in order not to be eaten, I had to practice qi desperately.
If I become an immortal, I will slap the second elder to death, the old thing is too bad.
The corners of the young girl's mouth are slightly raised, this food is not so rigid as it looks.
