Volume 20 "One Hundred Thousand Faces and One Hundred Thousand Blood" Chapter 18 Looking for plum blossoms after the snow and asking about the incense traces of the old garden

On February 2, it was the so-called "dragon raising its head" among the people; on this day, the South China Sea Dragon Clan, under the leadership of the new Shuihou Boyu, officially surrendered to the Sidu and Xuanling coalition forces!

At this point, this rare war in ancient and modern times has finally come to an end. Counting up, from August last year, when the Four Blasphemy Army and Xuanling Cavalry broke into the South China Sea to attack Yinbo Continent, to this time when the South China Sea was officially surrendered, it took half a year. During this period, although the demon god alliance of the four blasphemous spirits was invincible in every battle, the warriors of all tribes in the South China Sea were not easy to fight, and on the surface it seemed to be one-sided, but in fact, there were not a few casualties on both sides. In such a protracted war, even the Xuanling Demon Clan, who had been despised for a long time and surprised by the "few casualties", were all overjoyed and overjoyed when they heard the news of the official surrender of the South China Sea.

On the second day of February, the soldiers on both sides got up early, tied up their robes, and carefully groomed, and even the surrendering side tried to dress up as much as possible. The official time for the surrender was set in advance, but almost all of them had no sleep all night, and without the urging of the battalion officers and commanders, they got up early to freshen up and arrive at the scheduled meeting place.

On the second day of February, the weather was excellent, the blue sky was like washing, the beauty was high, and there were no clouds in the sky for thousands of miles. The rising sun seems to have risen to the sky earlier than before, and even the morning glow has dispersed early after the dawn, leaving a very refreshing sky in the South China Sea. In the blue sea and sky, many white jade palaces suddenly rose overnight in the originally endless South China Sea Ocean, like a mirage, standing on the surface of the blue water of the Dragon Domain. The wall ridge carved by Ming jade glaze, the palace tile decorated by Xue Ying Yuyao, discharges the haze of the sea water that has been filled for thousands of years, once exposed to the water, and releases all the hidden brilliance under the bright morning sun, and the shining jade color reflects the blue sea and blue sky, which is extremely distinct and extremely eye-catching. Under the clear sky, on the corner of the snowpile of the Ming Jade Divine Garden, there were still rare shellfish that were unaware of it.

In any case, on the second day of February this year, on the unprecedented day, all the main palaces of the South Sea Dragon Clan rose to the surface of the sea, showing their sincerity, humility, and unreserved intentions with the victors from afar.

At this time, the camp of the victorious side was also close to the storm sea of the Divine Fury Reef, and set up camp outside this eternally choppy reef. As far as the eye can see, at this moment, the sea outside the Shenfu Reef is like a cloud, thousands of miles away. As the hour approached, the soldiers on both sides had already set out and stood in their respective camps, waiting for the official handover of the commanders and ministers. At this time, looking at it again, the sea between the sea of divine anger and the four blasphemy Xuanling camps is Xuanxuan Yao, the frost spear is a forest, the rhino armor is like a mountain block, and the flag is like a cloud, it is the "Yuntun Seven Fangshi, Yuli Six Realms Soldiers"!

Not to mention the majesty of the winning side, let's talk about the South China Sea Dragon Domain; before the time comes, the South China Sea Dragon Army is all in white robes and plain armor, gray and snowy. Compared with the four desecrated coalition forces on the opposite side with bright clothes and bright armor, the South China Sea Dragon Army looked very plain and cold. After all, although almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the bloody battle, it was still gloomy when it came time to surrender.

When the time finally came, when the copper missed the report, as soon as the hour passed, a white rainbow suddenly flew out of the snow-white jade hall of the South China Sea Dragon Domain, and suddenly passed through the dark Shenfu Reef, and stretched out to the front of the Chinese army Dazhai of the four desecrated Xuanling. This crosses the blue sea of snow, about two miles wide, Rui Qi is one after another, a thousand pieces of luxury, if you look carefully, you can also find that the snow flies along the edge of the rainbow road, it should be a kind of cold rainbow.

When the white air is in the sky, countless flags are raised on both sides of the beard, all gray and white, swaying and dancing in the sea breeze. One end of the rainbow road stretches out from the Zhenhai Hall of the South China Sea Council; when the three golden bells ring, the South China Sea monarchs headed by Bo Yu will rush out, and the clouds and mist will be floating under their feet, and they will go west along the neon road Hongqiao.

When they came to the big camp that stood majestically in the middle of the camp of the four desecrated Xuanling camps, not far away, about three or four miles, this team slowly stopped, leaving only Boyu alone to continue to move forward, slowly moving forward, respectfully walking outside the camp, bowing down to the ground, and admonishing in a voice that was neither high nor low:

"The criminal minister Boyu, lead the evil to surrender, and hope that the god will accept it!"

After saying that, Boyu raised his hands above his head and waited for an answer from the camp. At this time, the courtiers who were three or four miles behind him also knelt down in the same way, and bowed to the camp to the west.

However, despite his humble attitude, Shui Hou Boyu, who was in charge of surrendering, knelt down for a moment, and without waiting for an answer inside, he got up again and turned around and left. It turned out that according to the common surrender ceremony, the head of the defeated side had to go back and forth to pray at least three times before he could get the consent of the other party's monarch to surrender.

It's just that this time it's different from what the monarchs and ministers of the South China Sea imagined. As soon as Na Boyu turned around, he suddenly heard laughter behind him, and in a blink of an eye, a burst of hearty words came to his ears:

"Bo Yuxian's grandson and nephew, why is there a hurry to go! The old man has long been looking forward to seeing you, and he will come, and he will enter the account, and he will enter the account!"

After that, the old dragon who came out of the camp to greet him with a smile came over, dragged Boyu by the arm, half-pulled and half-pulled, and invited him into the big tent in a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, seeing Lao Longjun's affectionate appearance, those Wenchen generals who were waiting for the completion of the three worship ceremony on the plain white Hongqiao behind them were afraid to react for a while, and they all looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do next. When they were stunned, they suddenly saw several people walking out of the open camp, the first of whom was a man with a crown and a red robe, who came over in front of everyone and said loudly to them:

"Seniors, please get up, please go to the big tent with the juniors for tea!"

When everyone heard the voice, they looked up slightly, and most of them recognized that the person with a humble attitude, leaning over and smiling was the legendary Zhang Xingyan of the other party. Needless to say, because he wanted to represent the surrender, the demon lord of his four desecrated dragon sons-in-law, Xuan Ling, was also pushed out, and a group of water gods and demons would summon these surrenderers in the South China Sea after Yun Zhongjun.

At this time, Zhang Xingyan said that this Raozhou teenager had already seen many big scenes, and he personally stirred up many big events; the so-called residence and migration of the body, the cultivation of qi, although the words are still humble, the attitude is still gentle, but after all, all the brave deeds in the past are in the hearts of everyone, his humble words of "seniors" and "juniors" are short, those gods and immortals who do not know how many people in the South China Sea are speechless, and no one dares to take a stubble for a while!

At this time, not only did they not dare to get up to answer the call, but a few timid people somehow sensed a certain powerful situation from the humble posture of the awakening words, as if the mountain was pressing, and they were so shocked that they were sweating all over their bodies, and their knees unconsciously moved to the left and right, trying to hide behind their colleagues!

Seeing them like this, Xingyan was a little helpless; he didn't know what was wrong, but he imagined that he had made every word and that everyone would gather together; after everyone got up in response, they went with him to the big tent to talk about it, wouldn't everyone be happy?

"Could it be that the voice was small just now, and this place is empty, so they didn't hear me......"

Although slightly discouraged, Xingyan still settled down, and when he looked on the ground, he found an acquaintance among the ministers of the South China Sea who were kneeling on the ground. Immediately woke up and was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the acquaintance and greet him:

"Oh, it turned out to be the predecessor of the dragon spirit! I haven't seen it anymore! I am really happy to meet again this time!"

"Heh......"

Seeing Zhang Xingyan come to pick himself up, Long Ling no longer doubted, and immediately stood up, with a smile on his face, and was about to confess, but Xingyan snatched the conversation and said:

"Senior Dragon Spirit, I have offended a lot in the previous battle, and I hope that my predecessors will forgive my sins!

As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out the dragon pill that Qiong Wei had offered earlier, held it in his hand and solemnly handed it back to the dragon spirit.

Awakening that such a move is naturally a joy from heaven for the dragon spirit! Although his dragon clan inner pill is not like a mortal fox wolf and the like, he will die if he leaves his body, but after all, his skills are lost. Even if you don't care about these details, it is a great shame. Therefore, Xingyan returned Long Dan to him without saying a word now, without any greed and non-return, Long Lingzi was naturally very grateful. Immediately, the guests and hosts were happy, and the previous awkward atmosphere between the two sides was swept away.

Led by the dragon spirit, the ministers of the South China Sea naturally traveled from the scenery, and immediately these pillars of the South China Sea went to the dragon king's tent to gather together. After drinking a few cups of jade liquid tea, Bo Yu, who entered the account first, talked to Yun Zhongjun about the surrender. The Dragon God Prince respectfully presented the letter of surrender to the four desecrated courtiers next to him, and they forwarded it to Yun Zhongjun and asked him for royal approval.

It is said that at this time, the official book table, the mouth of the volume is sealed with mud. Like the identity of the South China Sea Dragon Clan, the mud mouth of the watch book is made of the most precious purple mud, and then pressed with the shape of a phoenix, which is very exquisite. Waiting for Yun Zhongjun to take Boyu's book table, take a look at the sealed Danfeng purple mud, then open the seal with his hand, and spread the whole volume of jasper bamboo slips in front of the case to watch.

I saw that this volume of the book was actually divided into four letters. The first is an official proclamation of Nanhai's surrender, the second is Boyu's "edict of guilt", the third is a list of the mistakes of Meng Zhang, the scourge of the war, and the last is a detailed list of the compensation given by Nanhai to the four blasphemys and Xuanling.

Of the four letters, the first official proclamation is a mandatory document, and it is only customary and does not need to be detailed. And what Boyu's guilty edict is also a formality, and the origin of the South China Sea War has nothing to do with him. There is such a sinful edict, but because he is now the commander of the South China Sea, it is probably also symbolic. Although the wording is harsh, what "the heart is like a lizard, the surname is better than a jackal", "close to the evil man, vainly harming the loyal and good", "gods and men are jealous, heaven and earth do not tolerate it", these harsh words are placed on Meng Zhang, and most of them do not wronged him. However, there are more than 100 Meng Zhang's crimes listed on this list, and they are densely listed, which is really a lot of hair. Yun Zhongjun has roughly looked at these crimes, and many of them are exaggerated and fabricated charges, but he really wronged the former Shui Hou.

For example, the Four Blasphemy Dragon Monarchs saw such a one:

"The thief (referring to Meng Zhang) was born with evil silver, and the name of the dormitory was 'Linyi', which is homophonic with the name of the princess Fang, that is, it is known that it is not divided, and it can be seen at a glance!"

This old dragon monarch looked at it, thought about it carefully, and remembered that the creation of the Linyi Palace in the South China Sea Dragon Domain was still before his grandson was born, and when he smiled dumbly, he motioned to the courtiers next to him to take a knife and pen and crossed out this item in the book. More than 80 more than 80 were crossed out like this, and the rest was basically the same, so that it could be shown to the four seas, and the four blasphemous spirits were not vainly using swords.

In addition, in the end, I saw the list of compensation for the defeat in the South China Sea presented by this Boyu, which was full of gold, jewelry, jade, etc., and the amount was amazing. It turns out that this ocean is the easiest treasure, and the Dragon Palace has been the richest place in the world since ancient times, so this compensation list is really dazzling, what Hua Jue Yu Yao, purple shell carved scales, Xuan Cui Ethereal, pearl coral, shark silk, black brocade silk, all kinds of rare things are innumerable, if you really think about it, how rich can you rival the country! So when the Dragon Monarch was looking at it, Xing Yan was accompanying him next to him and aimed at it with his eyes, and he couldn't control his direct saliva, and his eyes were very hot.

However, these treasures that make the younger boy very excited, the rich old dragon king does not pay much attention to it. Whether to accept the compensation or not, Lao Longjun has already made a decision, and immediately just took a look, and then handed the watch book back to Boyu, stating that he did not want any compensation, and returned them to those soldiers who died in battle in the South China Sea to deal with the aftermath. As for the reward of the four desecrations and the Xuan Ling, he Yunzhongjun opened the Dragon King's treasury and rewarded the three armies.

I can't say it, after some pushing, Long Jun insisted on not accepting it, and finally Boyu and the others saw that he was sincere, so they gave up. In this way, all the South China Sea monarchs and ministers present were sincerely grateful, and there were no different thoughts.

After dealing with these affairs of the surrender and handover, Yun Zhongjun led the crowd out of the camp tent; before the big tent, Long Jun suddenly appeared the Dharma body, covered in gold, auspicious clouds flying, flying in the air to the Quartet soldiers Hong Announce:

The war in the South China Sea is over!

As soon as the voice fell, the sea boiled, whether it was the enemy or the enemy, the South China Sea, the four desecrations or the Xuanling, everyone was inspired, all rejoiced, whether it was a human, a god, a demon, a whale, a shark, a turtle, a turtle, a shark, a carp, a dragon, a frog, a worm, a cockle, a shrimp, a cockroach, a logger, a turtle, a crab, a turtle Birds, wolves, lynxes, lynxes, thousands of scales, thousands of names, the world and the sea, all the joy!

On the occasion of the strike of the soldiers, when the oath is concentric, the military music that has already been arrayed has raised eight tones, gold, stone, silk, bamboo, plaster, earth, leather, wood, drums and drums shake the sea, chime rings Lingyun, thousands of people sing, 10,000 people are harmonious, the whole world celebrates, and the sea is happy!

Besides, Yun Zhongjun, when the crowd was excited and calmed down slightly, he made a declaration to the soldiers of the three parties in the air to express his heart. Different from the quaint words of the past and the four and six, this time he swore in the clouds and only used ordinary metaphors to explain it simply.

Yun Zhongjun said that on the shore of the ancient valley, there are rich shallow beaches, in which the kelp is luxuriant, the seaweed is dense, because the bait is abundant, the swimming fish come and go, leisurely. Over the years, several sea urchins have floated in and settled here. As we all know, sea urchins are the most fond of kelp and sea ferns, and they never eat in moderation. Sea urchins are full of thorns, and there are no natural predators in the tidal flats of the valley, so they eat kelp, unrestrained, and reproduce in large numbers. After a few years, the beautiful and rich valley of the original kelp gradually became barren, the swimming fish fled, the kelp and sea vegetables became extinct, and finally the bottom of the shallow sea became a barren sandy land, leaving only the sea urchins without any food. As a result, they also died in large numbers, and when they finally fled, they were about the same number as when they first arrived.

Yun Zhongjun said that this example shows that their previous Shui Hou had such ambitions to dominate the world, and it would not work. Not only will they harm living beings in the process, but they will only hurt themselves in the end. Just as in the sea, the place where the warm and cold currents meet can bring abundant food, and the races of the four seas and even the wild land can only survive better and thrive in this world where survival is not easy only by seeking common ground while reserving differences, maintaining their reading power and blending with each other, and getting along with each other.

Perhaps for most of the Sea Clan, much of the previous propaganda was not as plain as the current rhetoric. Yun Zhongjun's seemingly handy example, just need to be said in the superficial words of the four seas, and many newly descended South China Sea Aquatic Tribes are happy and convinced. And those dignitaries and ministers who couldn't easily say anything also got what they wanted in Yun Zhongjun's simple words, and they were immediately extremely relieved about the future.

Leaving aside the gossip, not to mention the various celebrations and sacrifices that followed, it was about late in the evening when an envoy from the Candle Ghost Fang came to visit outside the Dragon Domain to look for Xingyan. After asking a little, it turned out to be the ghost king's candle ghost mother, who sent someone to ask Xingyan to discuss the surrender of the ghost party. Speaking of which, the Candle Ghost side is also a belligerent, and the South China Sea must also surrender to them. Especially since the ghost spirit yuan has not yet decided to belong, it is natural to discuss it well. Therefore, there are many things, and the ghost king and his wife should still be aware that they are elders, and in the face of such a major event, they naturally have to go to him to discuss and preside.

Hearing the ghost party's request, and seeing that they solemnly sent a team of envoys, not to discuss with the South China Sea how to start negotiations, but only to invite themselves to go to the ghost side to discuss, he couldn't cry or laugh. Immediately, he sent the messengers back, and delayed for a while, until night fell and dusk began to rise, and he was able to get out of his body to do the great thing that the king of the clouds had just confessed.

It turned out that Lao Longjun had privately discussed with him at noon, saying that even if he was surrendered now, the South China Sea had a new lord Boyu, but how to deal with Meng Zhang was still the top priority. According to him, looking at Meng Zhang from his eyes, he felt that this person had a surname of tiger and wolf, and his mana was unfathomable, and he had stayed in the ghost spirit abyss for a long time, so he was not sure that anything would happen. Therefore, even though Bo Yu and Long Ling tried their best to ensure that they had drugged him and kept him in the secret prison under the sea, he was still not at ease. Therefore, he wanted to ask Xingyan to bring competent men as soon as possible, and be sure to carefully inspect the Mengzhang Prison in the Southern Customs to see if it was really as reliable as they promised.

So, when everything was done, when it was time to take charge of the lamp, Xingyan took Bingyi, Fuyou and other brave martial water gods, and went to the secret place where Meng Zhang was imprisoned under the personal leadership of Boyu and Long Ling.

All the way forward, it was silent. It's just that just as Nashui Hou Boyu was concentrating on leading the way, he suddenly heard the young man in military uniform next to him suddenly speak to him:

"Lord Shuihou—"

"Huh?"

Hearing the sudden sound of Xingyan, Bo Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he heard him still call himself Lord Shuihou, he was a little anxious:

"Brother Xingyan, what Lord Shuihou, why do you need to be so polite! Between you and me, we only need to be brothers. In the near future, you will be in the four profanities, and you and I will be the same generation according to the genealogy, and there is no need to see each other. ”

"Oh! yes......"

Seeing Bo Yu talking about his in-laws, Xingyan's face was slightly red, but he didn't care about talking to him in detail, so he just continued to speak:

"I'll talk about that later, Brother Boyu, in fact, the little brother has an urgent matter that I want to ask you for help with!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, Xingyan still had something to ask him, Bo Yu was a little surprised, and immediately promised:

"Brother Xingyan, please speak clearly, no matter how you go to the soup, the foolish brother will definitely not give up!"

"That's the case, Brother Boyu, you should know that I had a close friend in Luofu Mountain, who was killed by Meng Zhang and was robbed of his body, so I want to ask, do you know where your third brother placed her?"

"Uh......"

Hearing him ask like this, the noble son who was born in the Golden Jade clan remembered the past, but he was stunned, and said in his heart:

"Could it be that he really pities that maidservant? No, if you want to say that a mere maidservant, no matter how intimate she is, she is also a subordinate, how can she be so concerned?"

Long Gongzi groaned for a while, but he didn't notice that there were tears in the eyes of the man next to him.

(To be continued)
