Epilogue The first step

The sky was occupied by two distinct parts, one part of the scorching sun and the other part of the storm, lightning and thunder.

Even Kurokawa couldn't help but stop to watch such a rare spectacle.

The sunlight seemed to be restrained by the surrounding rain curtain, and could only shine on a small part of the area around Zhenxi Tianguan, but because it was obscured by dark rain clouds, this light shone so brightly in comparison, like a golden sword piercing the earth.

Quietly admiring this magnificent scene, Kurokawa suddenly felt that something was wrong.

With his superhuman hearing, he could hear a murmur in the thunder.

It was a high-pitched, distant sound, like a song, accompanied by lightning that echoed among the clouds.

A few shadows loomed between the clouds, as if some creature was flying and chirping in the thunderous sky.

Looking up at the clouds, Kurokawa could faintly see that a huge figure broke through the clouds from time to time, revealing part of its body.

Dark cyan iron feathers, smooth and hideous body, this house-sized creature shuttled rapidly between the thunder and wind, and the thunder flashed around it, even if it was a thousand meters away, the flash was clearly visible.

There is not just one, there are many such beasts.

As the sound of chirping gradually resounded in all directions, only the thunder was heard, and the dark blue thunder that tore through the sky broke through the clouds, descended from the air, and rushed towards the Tianguan in the west of the town with a decisive attitude!

It was a giant eagle.

Kurokawa had seen this giant eagle spew thunder and lightning and tear the sky apart in the depths of the mountains, but he didn't expect to see them again at such a time this time.

"It's a demon attack. ”

A refreshing young voice came from behind him, and Kurokawa couldn't help but look back curiously, and then he saw a familiar face.

Dressed in white soaked by the rain and with a slightly green face, it was the weird boy he met before who was deliberately drenched in the rain like him.

He seemed to be explaining to Kurokawa, and continued with a smile, "Zhenxi Tianguan blocked the way for this group of giant eagles to move east, so every year at the turn of autumn and winter, such a big scene will be staged. ”

"Big play?"

A little confused, Kurokawa asked very familiarly, "This is a demon attack, isn't it too unserious to say that it is a big drama, a little ridiculous?"

"No, no, how dare I?"

Waving his hand, the white-clothed young man shook his head and said, "Actually, because these giant eagles don't attack humans, but like to prey on other demon beasts, and their strength is terrifying, so if it is not necessary, no one wants to be an enemy of them." Don't look at it now, it looks spectacular and intense, but in fact, every year it's just a superficial show, and then let them go. ”

"Then why do you want to make such a big fuss......

Kurokawa looked into the distance, and the eagles were hovering and flying near Tianguan, looking like they were about to break through the lightning barriers near the attic, but in fact, as the young man in white said, they were just acting like each other, just fighting each other.

"Neither side looks like they want to fight, and the other side doesn't prey on the Terrans, so why make such a big scene. ”

Asked suspiciously, he was not a person who didn't ask because of face.

"If you don't show your strength, you can scare this group of unruly beasts. ”

Looking sideways at the sky, the white-clothed young man showed a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied, "How can they remember that after the Tianguan, it is the territory of the human race?"

Streams of light flew out of the attic and struck these thunder eagles, and they didn't even have time to defend before they broke through their defenses and spun and fell to the ground.

The teenager's explanation continued.

"There are beast kings guarding the Intercepting Heaven Mountain Range, and there are dragons wandering in Qinghai Lake, they don't want to conflict with these big demons, so they choose us to break through - where do you get the courage?"

Speaking of this, the disdain in his tone was obvious, "It's been like this from generation to generation, if you don't feel the oppression in the blood, you don't remember it, you come to provoke them once a year, if you don't give them some color to see, this group of flat-haired beasts will even extend the hunting range here, and they can annoy people to death!"

"Why do you say that? You said before that they don't eat people. ”

"Even if you don't feed on people, there will be a thunderstorm every day, which is worse than killing people!"

Answering Kurokawa's question, the young man seemed to have suffered from it, "There was a time when Tianguan was changing its guards, and no one was stationed in the Lightning Strike Pavilion, and this group of birds was let go, and it turned out that thunderstorms were falling in the city for almost two months-so, if we don't defeat their arrogance, let this group of beasts put away the natural power of calling for wind and rain, and summoning the thunder, within ten days, Tianguan will become Zeguo after that, and we don't want to sleep well at night!"

After speaking, the two talked for a while according to some affairs in the city, and when the group of thunder eagles were shot down once, the thunderstorm was withdrawn, and after jumping over the heavenly pass under the surveillance of the Thunder Strike Pavilion, Kurokawa said goodbye to the young man in white with Bianhe.

"My name is Kurokawa, and I hope to see you again. ”

Kurokawa said that although the conversation was not long, he found the young man to be very interesting, well-informed, approachable, and indeed a good person.

"My name is Shao Cang - this day will not be long. ”

The young man named Shao Cang didn't know why, with a faint smile on his face when he said this, he watched Kurokawa walk away, then shook his head, and continued to walk slowly on the road, not in a hurry.

========================

Tianguan is extremely tall, and the walls alone are hundreds of zhang high, towering between heaven and earth, like mountain peaks.

In fact, the entire fortress wall was obtained by the immortals in the past who carved the mountain peak with the divine sword, which was originally a part of the Interception Mountain Range, and the bottom layer of the root was the original stone mountain, even if it was a demon beast that was good at drilling the ground, it could not sneak in silently. The wall is seamless, and the surface is engraved with a formation, and at a glance, there is a sense of vast shock.

Compared to such a tall and majestic city wall, the city gate is pitifully small.

The gates, which looked like ant caves, were closed, and a team of guards in armor and expressionless faces stood guard in front of them.

Before Kurokawa arrived, there were already five people lined up in front.

After seeing the arrival of a newcomer, the guard turned his head and said to him loudly, "Tianguan is currently under martial law, if you don't have a token or token, wait until the end of martial law!"

"Again, if you don't have a token or a token, just stand aside and be with them!"

Then the guard gestured to the five people who were sitting next to him, looking bored.

They are either hunters with prey on their backs, or medicine pickers with medicine baskets, but because they don't have a pass, they can only stay here and wait for the end of martial law that they don't know when it will end.

At first, when he heard this, Kurokawa's heart tightened, but after a moment, he remembered that Wei Dian had given him a Wei family token, and said that it would definitely be useful.

"You can't lie to me. ”

With that in mind, he fumbled in the package, then pulled out the square token that Weidian had given him.

However, his attention was not on this token.

Just now, something seems to be moving inside the package?

A little suspicious, he thought so, because after sorting it out, there were only some more important things in the package, and there were nothing else except Zhenyuan Ling and Yu Jian.

"It should be an illusion. ”

Saying this to himself, Kurokawa stepped forward and handed the token of the Wei family to the guard.

Seeing that it was a teenage child, the guards didn't care, and took the token away a little rudely, Kurokawa smiled disappreciatively, he estimated that there would be such a day when he saw his appearance change drastically.

The guard just looked down at it casually, but after a few seconds passed, and after reacting, he felt a shock in his heart.

"The Wei family's guest Qing Ling, so young?!"

Feeling a strong surprise in his heart, the guard quickly cleared away his previous subconscious contempt, and began to seriously look at the unusually old-fashioned, but extraordinary temperament of the young man in his eyes.

When he noticed the three huge skulls and the scythe hanging from Kurokawa's waist, he couldn't help but feel a tingle in his scalp.

Originally, it looked like a white ball at a glance, but I thought it was a package, but I didn't expect it to be the skull of a demon beast!

Even if there is no way to determine whether this is his own hunting or whether it is given by his elders, he can't afford to mess with this young man no matter what!

A boy who can kill a monster, and a boy whose elders can give a monster skull at will, are both equally terrifying.

Immediately changing his attitude, the guard shouted to his companion to open the door, then carefully returned the token before withdrawing without saying a word.

Following another respectful guard, Kurokawa walked to the door that had been opened a little bit.

At this time, Kurokawa realized that the gate, which had looked like an ant hole before, was so tall that it was just too small compared to the walls.

The moment he passed through the city gate, he suddenly realized that this was another world.

After passing through this gate, it is no longer a deep mountain dominated by demon beasts, but a world controlled by humans.

You don't have to find your direction all day long, you can't find the road, you can only sleep in the cave at night, and you don't have to fight with monsters day and night, and you can't fight until you are sore.

He can sleep peacefully without worrying about being attacked by wild beasts.

"Zhenxi Tianguan...... This is the first stop. ”

Muttered quietly, Kurokawa's eyes became determined.

"Before the first lunar month, I will go to Yujing. ”

"No one can stop me from my spiritual path!" =================== the end of the first chapter today with a new cover and synopsis, so it's a little late
