Chapter 6 The dark tide is surging, hiding the strange situation of the sea
At night, the island is quiet and peaceful, and a small gauze tent lies quietly under the starry night sky.
If there were bamboo leaves covering the eyes of Luoyang Bamboo at the beginning, and there were still mountains lingering on the cliffs of Luofu Mountain in the past, then now the endless night sky of the island is particularly lonely. In the dark and deep night sky, the clear starlight poured like water, slowly flowing on the body of the sleeping girl.
The starlight was a little cold, but the little girl sleeping in the cold light was full of excitement and couldn't calm down.
"Are all the dreams of the past true?"
In the dead of night, Xiao Qiongwei, who has always been carefree, can't help but think of the problem she fears the most. The towering fire-breathing mountains, the bottomless strange water that does not float, became clearer and clearer in the recent dreams, as if she, the stupid little sister who had awakened her brother, had really grown full wings and soared freely in a flaming mountain;
Perhaps, these bizarre dreams were not so terrifying to this confused little girl who never knew what fear was, but at this moment she was so frightened that she curled up tightly, and hid nervously under the bedding, daring to leave only two dark eyes outside the quilt, looking at the little kind and warm light in the high sky. Qiong Wei's strange dreams are becoming clearer and clearer, just like a bad guy hidden in the shadows, pressing towards her step by step, such strange dreams appear repeatedly, and she has been trying to shake the fact that she has always believed to be true, that is: she, Zhang Qiongwei, was born in the mountains and wilderness of Luoyang many years ago, and has existed in this world for many years, just to finally wait for the arrival of the brother who loves her the most.
Such a pure and profound thought has been dominating and supporting her entire life since Qiong Wei got out of the wind-swept suburbs of Luoyang. In Qiong Wei's little careful eyes, this idea that seems childish and ridiculous to outsiders has been raised into a belief, and she has always believed in it. It is this simple and somewhat blind belief that allows her to maintain her true happiness from beginning to end, whether on the light and monotonous Chidori Cliff or in those difficult journeys with the teenager.
It's just that now, this firm belief that supports all her sky, but there is a crack like the tea bowl she once accidentally broken, especially the strange words she suddenly blurted out this morning: "The fairy teaches to cook Ganoderma lucidum rice, and Yaotai personally cuts the phoenix hair." ”
This very strange sentence made Qiong Wei feel for the first time during the day, maybe, some things may really not be like that, maybe she Zhang Qiongwei, before the appearance of the green bamboo and sea of Luoyang Mountains, really had some experiences that even she didn't know, and this kind of unknown experience in the past made her heart sink more and more day by day - maybe one day, she, a humble "little monster" born in volcanic strange water, really wants to leave this brother she loves so much.
As soon as she thought of this, the little girl with a heart as bright as snow became extremely sad, trapped in all kinds of imaginary sorrow and parting, and tears burst out with starlight, overflowing on her sad little face. When the tears were wet, Xiao Qiong's hazy teary eyes never dared to close, but she tried to open her eyes and look up at the starry sky at the top of the tent, for fear that she would enter the vivid nightmare again when she closed her eyes.
It's just that Rao is so resistant, but she has been toiling and running since yesterday afternoon, and although she has occasionally rested for half an hour in between, she is still sleepy at this moment, and she resists the surging sleepiness for a long time, and she finally falls asleep unconsciously.
For the time being, let's not mention these sad and incomprehensible girls, let's talk about the battle situation in front of us.
It is said that there is a strange island in the South China Sea, named "Yanzhou"; there is a fire forest mountain in the Yanzhou, there is a fire beast in the mountain, the shape is like a giant rat, the hair is three or four inches long, or red or white, take it and weave it, it is called the fire raccoon cloth, it is a strange treasure of the South China Sea. "There is fire in the South China Sea, and there is no ash wood in the East China Sea", which is the praise of these two kinds of treasures.
It's just that such a reputation abroad only means disaster and misfortune to the Fire Light Beasts living in the Yan Continent. Before returning to the South China Sea Water Lord, the Yanzhou Fire Light Beast Clan faced many hunts and killings, and after returning to the South China Sea Water Lord, the disaster did not end as scheduled. Although under Meng Zhang's order, those powerful gods and monsters in the South China Sea no longer hunted and killed the fire light beast spirits that had cultivated into human form, but the secret hunting of fire light beasts never stopped.
Faced with such a situation, the strength of the Fire Light Beast Spirit was weak, and although it was painful to the bone, it couldn't come up with any practical solution, so it had to go to the Dragon Domain several times to beg and beg the gods in charge to strictly stop such indiscriminate killings. It's just that the ambitious Shui Hou has been concerned about the world all those years, how can such a trivial matter of scabies be taken care of; every time the envoy from Yanzhou comes to plead, he always gently comforts him, and occasionally vents his anger, but he always has no practical action. So the immortals obtained in this Yanzhou, seeing that the number of clansmen is decreasing day by day, is just helpless.
It's just that such a neglect of the South China Sea Dragon Palace has finally caused serious consequences today. After that, when the Four Blasphemy Dragon Army completely controlled Divine Tree Island, they and the butterfly girl bee spirits of Liuhua Continent and Yinguang Continent followed the four blasphemy wishes and announced to all parties in the South China Sea that they would not recognize Meng Zhang's authority to rule the South China Sea, but instead turned to support the Dragon God Crown Prince Boyu who was supported in the text of the Four Blasphemy!
As soon as this announcement came out, the whole sea immediately shook. Because, as long as the spirit clan knows roughly the geography of the South China Sea, they know that among the four islands and thirteen continents under the control of the South China Sea Dragon Clan, so far with Shenshu Island as the center, Yinguang Continent in the east, Xibo Continent, Fubo Continent, Yinbo Prefecture, Liuhua Continent in the west, and Yanzhou in the south have all fallen into the hands of the crusading coalition forces. The fall of Shenshu Island, which is located in the middle of the South China Sea, will allow the allied forces of the four desecrated Xuanling Demon Gods to sit in the center and look at all directions; the return of Liuhuazhou will basically announce the fall of Yunyangzhou, the westernmost point of the pendulum island chain in the South China Sea; and when the Yanzhou Fire Light Beast Clan surrenders to the enemy, they will advance the allied front of the Shenshu Island to the southeast Dragon Domain for 2,000 miles, and the troops will directly point at the three continents of Jiujing, Jinglan, and Turbulence on the periphery of the Dragon Domain, and the power will be close to the Shenfu Islands guarded by the Storm Goddess.
Compared with such a battle situation, these people of insight in the overseas spirit clan are a little embarrassed. Once upon a time, the Jiujing Haizhou, which was full of sinister and complex formations, was still a garrison recuperation base very far inside the South China Sea, who would have thought that in just ten or twenty days after the outbreak of the Four Blasphemy Campaign, it would have been overwhelmed by the army and become the front line!
And this is only the surface, if it is only that, it may be reduced to just a South China Sea strategy, shrinking the defense line in the face of a fierce enemy, accumulating strength, and then dealing a fatal blow to these crusaders from afar when the time is right. However, the current situation can no longer be simply attributed to the fact that the South China Sea does not care about the gains and losses of one continent and one island; within a period of more than 20 days, there have been Fubo, Yinguang, Liuhua, Yanzhou, Shenshu, and other major seas in Hainan that have sincerely surrendered, so the forces of all sides have to begin to re-examine the war and adjust their expectations for the final victory or defeat of the war.
At this time, almost all the leaders of the forces who watched attentively muttered in their hearts: I am afraid that the great reputation accumulated by the South China Sea for thousands of years of crusades and suppression of ghosts may not be exaggerated, and those tribes in the South China Sea who seem to be very united since the South China Sea led by the Marquis of Shui, Meng Zhang, are not necessarily as monolithic as they seem.
Such an unexpected battle situation must face a very thorny question for many interested water tribe gods: should they hurry up and send troops to help the immortal Si Desecration old dragon beat the water dogs, or should they endure for a while and see if Si Desecration has fallen into the South China Sea scheme, will it become the end of the strong crossbow deep behind enemy lines in the blink of an eye?
At this time, for these spirit clans who are inextricably linked to the interests of both sides of the war, it seems that they have suddenly come to a fork in the road; if they go in the right direction, they will be able to enjoy their blessings in peace for hundreds or even thousands of years; if they accidentally bet on the wrong treasure, then they may be suppressed by others and unlucky everywhere!
For the sake of their vital interests, for most of them at this moment, the final judgment criterion for deciding which side to support is by no means the high-sounding and righteous and awe-inspiring flowery words in the war books of both sides, but the real victory or defeat.
In the midst of these intricate entanglements of forces, several major incidents that must not be ignored have occurred one after another for the four defilements of the South China Sea, that is: First, when the young man surnamed Zhang, who was called the dragon's son-in-law, led the crowd to occupy Shenshu Island, the East China Sea Dragon Clan, who had been silent about this major event that shook the Three Realms, finally broke the silence and sent official letters to both sides of the battle, informing them of their views on this war. The East China Sea Dragon Palace, known as the Dragon Ancestor of the Four Seas, said that they expressed their sorrow over the occurrence of such a battle within their clan, and hoped that the two sides could calm down and stop fighting as soon as possible.
In this painless edict from the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the old Dragon King blamed both sides, saying that Meng Zhang, a junior of the South China Sea, acted inappropriately, and should not secretly make friends with the water gods under the four desecration accounts, let alone be in a hurry to force marriage, and lightly use the sword to freeze Luofu. And Yun Zhongjun, the Four Blasphemy Dragon Kings, as an elder of the South China Sea, does not have to worry too much about his grandnephews and sons, because if there is anything wrong with them, they can negotiate calmly, or apologize, or punish, and everything is easy to discuss.
Such a squarely worded document seems to be a mediocre argument, and no one can be offended, but when the warring parties who received the edict saw the last line of the document, their feelings were suddenly very different. It turns out that the last few sentences are: In view of the recent rampant demons in the northern part of the East China Sea Dragon Domain, disturbing the normal fishing of the fishermen in the mortal world, after receiving seven or eight demon escort notices from the Dragon King Temple in the East China Sea, in order to ensure the faithfulness of the Dragon God of the East China Sea and demonstrate the righteousness of heaven and earth, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea decided to send the patrol general Cang Bi to lead the 100,000 Yasha army Chen Bing to the north of Xinjiang to eliminate the demons for the fishermen who are diligent in serving incense and ensure the peace of their fishery.
“......”
"Just for a few fishermen, you will dispatch the 100,000 Yaksha army, which is known as the strongest combat power in the four seas?"
Seeing the words of the edict, needless to say the exquisite-minded gods, even fools know that the East China Sea Dragon Palace is clearly biased in favor of the Four Blasphemous Dragon Monarchs from the Dragon Clan this time, and find an excuse to put down the formation, and look at the north to deter the north, and prevent the northern dragon god who is friendly with the South China Sea from interfering in the army.
If it is said that the matter of Chen Bing in the East China Sea is still excusable, after all, Yun Zhongjun, who is the master of the four blasphemys, is said to be a prince of the Dragon Palace back then, but the next incident that reached everyone's ears is a little unbelievable.
According to some well-informed gods and monsters, it is said that the two clans of the South China Sea and the Ghost Fang, which have been on the same side for thousands of years, have actually intended to turn their rivalry into jade silk and form a friendly alliance with each other; after the alliance is formed, the South China Sea will return to the Ghost Clan's holy land, the Ghost Spirit, and the Candle Ghost Fang will also promise that it will never harass the safety of the South China Sea Dragon Domain again!
Although such sensational news was really absurd and strange when I first heard it, as long as we calm down and think about it carefully, we will be amazed by this move in the South China Sea! Because now that the great enemy is present, the South China Sea is losing and retreating one after another, and a large part of the reason for such an embarrassing war situation is that they have to concentrate on two things, on the one hand, they have to resist the powerful invasion of the northwest, and on the other hand, they have to divide the South China Sea Floating City and the Twelve Beast Gods of the Ghost Devouring to resist the all-pervasive Candle Ghost Army. And now, as long as the two sides form an alliance and the South China Sea returns the Oni Ling Yuan Divine Field, where the crux of the two sides is located, they no longer have to worry about the safety of the southeast line, so they can free up their hands to deal with the biggest threat from the northwest with all their might.
And this arrangement is also very beneficial to the Candle Ghost Side, because in the past, the Eight Great Floating Cities of the South China Sea were very powerful, and most of them were thunder and flames, which happened to restrain the innate Yin Spirit Physique of the Ghost Clan, so their Ghost Side has always been at a disadvantage in the battle between the two sides. Now that the South China Sea is willing to form an alliance, for them, no matter what the opponent's reason, as long as they return their holy land Ghost Spirit Yuan back first, so that they have time to penetrate the secrets and obtain the powerful power that shakes the heavens and the earth, then even if the South China Sea turns against them again in the future, the Candle Ghost Clan will not be afraid at all!
And such an obvious wishful thinking is said to be due to the four blasphemy. Because of the current Shennoda of the Ghost Soul Clan, although it has always been the Holy Land of the Soul Soul Clan of the Candle Ghost Clan, all along, they have only known about this pilgrimage and worship, and the other inside affairs of the Soul Soul Circle are not very clear. At most, the elder ghost generals among them still know that just three thousand years ago, the current Four Seas Dragon Clan had fought with the mysterious demon clan who now retreated to the southwest Jiaoyu for the sake of this ghost spirit abyss in the south of the South China Sea. And this time, because of the war within the dragon clan, the Four Blasphemy Dragon Kings, who were the main force of the dragon and demon war three thousand years ago, spread the news that it was the primeval demon lurking in the ghost spirit abyss, and the evil marquis of the South China Sea tried in vain to release its evil power, use it for his own use, and suppress the Quartet.
If it weren't for the news that Si Zhen had spread in order to belittle his opponent and encourage himself, the Candle Ghost Party would have been kept in the dark!
Although, in the eyes of outsiders, such news is similar to a rumor about attacking the opponent, in the eyes of the elders of the ghost clan who know some inside information, considering the situation three thousand years ago and three thousand years later, it seems that such news may not be groundless;
So with such a mind that he would rather believe that he has something to believe or not, the candle ghost party, who originally swore to fight to the death, really began to secretly contact Meng Zhang, an old enemy;
Not to mention all kinds of intricate entanglements of interests, because their achievement may be protracted and will not play much practical role for the time being, but at this moment, there is a force that is ready to move, and wants to immediately plunge into this bloody demon god war.
This decisive and resolute belligerent god is the North Sea Dragon God who is heavily deterred by the East China Sea Dragon Palace, intending to make him dare not act rashly, Yujiang!
Judging from the subsequent development of the war, perhaps the scheming East China Sea Dragon Palace was thinking about it, but there was one thing that he didn't consider, that is, he forgot the temper of this sea god who had been calling for wind and rain in his north. This dragon god of the North Sea, who combines the god of plague, the god of wind, and the god of the sea, decided to send troops immediately after seeing the northern boundary of the East China Sea!
It's just that even if the kindness of the East China Sea becomes a radical general, this withdrawn sea god Yujiang still has to be cautious if he decides to send troops to help the junior friends in the distance, after all, the 100,000 East China Sea Yaksha troops in the south of him have all turned over the river and the sea, coming and going like electricity;
