Volume 21 "A Few Smoke and Dust on the Immortal Road in the World" Chapter 5 Peach Picking Xuanpu, the Five-colored Cloud Side of the Hometown

The vigorous battle of the South China Sea has finally come to an end. No one would have thought that the dying blow of the old water marquis Meng Zhang would turn the great victory into a tragic victory; although the four desecrations and Xuanling suffered a lot of losses, the South China Sea Dragon Clan suffered even more losses. After the post-war inspection, it was found that the number of casualties in the battle of the South China Sea Dragon Domain on the third day of the second month far exceeded the total number of people killed in this multi-month offensive battle.

However, the original "battlefield of war" was the "place where corpses were erected", and in such an earth-shattering battle, such casualties were reasonable. It is sad to remember the deceased, but if you look at it, it is not necessarily bleak. The old pattern is gradually decaying, and if it does not experience this wildfire-like devastation, those rotten human behaviors will surely disappear by themselves.

A careful examination of the gains and losses of this war shows that if it is said that the most benefits after the South China Sea War are not the four blasphemys that provoke the head. The Xuanling Sect, or the Xuanling Demon Clan, became the biggest beneficiary of this war.

For these demon clans, although in recent years, they have called themselves "Spirit Clans", imitated the forces of the world to establish sects, and formed a group to make great efforts, which seems to be quite improving, but in fact, the image of "demons" formed over the past thousands of years has always been difficult to change.

Not to mention anything else, this Xuanling Sect established for the revival of the demon clan, the candidate for the sect leader, even if the demon clan is the elite double, there is no shortage of wise and brave people, the result is considered to the end, no one is embarrassed to take it upon himself, but when he encounters a chance, he meets the Taoist hall master who is rare in a thousand years and preaches to the demon clan on a large scale, and immediately everyone expects him, and without knowing it, he has already installed him in the name of the sect leader, and is worshiped by thousands of demon spirits, guiding their words and deeds of the Xingfu clan.

This is a rather absurd situation, but if you dig deeper, it is actually very normal. After thousands of years of ups and downs, failures and setbacks, people of insight among the demon clan have discovered that what they lack most is not actually those absolute powers, but those things that can completely reverse the concept and make the demon clan justifiable.

Of course, they originally disliked these vain and ethereal names, so under the intentional or unintentional promotion of other forces, coupled with the fact that there are many unscrupulous people in their own clan, they have reached this point today. In many places, demons have become synonymous with evil forces!

However, such an embarrassing situation has been completely reversed after the battle of the South China Sea!

Fighting against the Dragon God of the South China Sea, regardless of victory or defeat, is itself a huge encouragement to the demon clan that has been in the doldrums for a long time. What's more, many of the decisive scenes in this fantasy battle were all from the hands of their sect masters! Such inspiring deeds have outperformed all the boasting of lack of energy!

And that's not all. When the South China Sea War is completely over, the Four Desecration Dragon Monarchs preside over the rewards and punishments, and they will select thirteen people with the most outstanding military achievements and award them with treasures.

It turned out that, as mentioned earlier, during the war, the four desecrated dragon monarchs had ordered their son Dongting Jun to urge the dragon clan to cast swords, and set up a sword furnace in the mountain of Zengcheng on the bank of Dayu Ze, and used the secret method of the dragon palace to pick the essence of Xia iron, leading the divine wind to rise from the fire, quenching gold and jade to cast twelve swords, pre-taking "Izumo" as the number, decorated with beautiful jade xiaying, and once the great success was completed, the sword was given by Yunzhongjun himself to the twelve people with the most merits.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, at the end of January when the war was about to end, one day the Excalibur was finally released. Such a divine sword, almost if it is made in heaven, what is the result when the crack is baked, unpredictable, only know that the sword mountain collapsed at that time, the wind was thousands of miles, and more than a dozen divine soldiers were full of light, flying above the nine heavens, and the wind was bursting, such as falling snow in the xia. When the sword returned to its place, he counted it carefully, and found that there was one more than expected, a total of thirteen. And when these thirteen Izumo swords appeared in the world, the cold was pressing, even if they were placed in the middle of the day, or close to the fire, the blades were still covered with frost and snow, and with a slight wave, there were thousands of cold air, and all kinds of snow and colorful light shot at people's hearts, which was very strange. So when the major events were settled, after careful selection and consideration, and Zhang Xingyan, who had a special identity, was eliminated, Yun Zhongjun awarded these thirteen Izumo swords to the thirteen heroes, they are:

Four desecrations of the Yellow River water god Bingyi, four desecration of the Wenchuan water miraculous phase, four blasphemy of the conspiracy of the minister, four blasphemy of Pengze lord Chu Huaiyu, four blasphemy of the god of Jinglang Yinshuang, four blasphemy of Yangcheng Lake Ling Yingshao, four blasphemy of Baling Lake god Laigong, four blasphemy of Fubo Island in the South China Sea master Kong Tu Buwu, Shangqing Palace Lingxu Zhenren of the Middle Earth, Shangqing Palace goddess Zhang Qiongwei of the Middle Earth, Kun Xiang, the master of the Qiling Hall of the Xuanling Clan, Yin Tieya, the master of the Yuling Hall of the Xuanling Clan, and Ji Ji, the black water wolf king of the Mobei of the Xuanling Clan.

Obviously, although these thirteen Izumo swords are already miraculous in themselves, they are even more extraordinary as meritorious swords. For these people who have obtained the sword, they probably no longer care about the value of the reward itself; if the sword itself is only to decorate the cave mansion and shine for several miles, how can they boast of their peers and leave a name for thousands of years? Since then, the names of the owners of these thirteen Izumo swords have been spread in the lakes, seas, rivers and rivers, and have been admired by everyone; because of the precedent of the war of the demons and gods in the South China Sea, these thirteen people were later called "the thirteen Izumo generals".

Speaking of the "Izumo Thirteen Generals", and because the person who gave the sword, Yunzhongjun, once said to Zhang Xingyan, "I govern the clouds, and the king governs the clouds", so when the legend gradually became long, the Izumo Thirteen Generals were gradually rumored to be the most outstanding thirteen generals under the husband of the princess of the four blasphemy.

Of course, these are all later words, for the Xuanling Demon Clan, in addition to these glories, the Demon Clan has also made a more practical oath with other Spirit Clans. When the South China Sea War ended and all the dust settled, the Xuanling Demon Clan and the Four Desecrated Water Clan, the South China Sea Dragon Clan, the Jiao Yu Demon Clan, and the Middle Earth Humans, represented by the Qing Palace, made an oath on a sea continent in the South China Sea that was closer to the mainland, announcing that the five clans would form an alliance from now on, respect each other, and fight forever for generations.

The oath between the demons, gods, men and demons, in addition to signing the oath for their respective collections, will also engrave the oath in the incorruptible things, hoping that it will exist forever in the world for generations. Up to now, under the Jianfeng Ridge of Hainan Island in the smoke waves, visitors can also identify some unique patterns of plants here from the annual rings of trees such as green plums, and the shape is similar to the ancient seal. According to the locals, it was the gods and monsters of the Quartet who carved an alliance oath in the grass and trees.

Skip the gossip, and then talk about the awakening, he said that according to the covenant between Xi and the goddess, he and Qiong Wei came to the South China Sea, and wandered several times, except for the old maid Yueniang of Meng Zhang, and did not see the person who made the promise. When the head unconsciously turned to the center of the head, it was almost noon, and they had not seen any trace of Xi He.

It was nearly noon, and just as they were wandering back and forth and were a little anxious, they suddenly encountered some vision.

At that time, Xingyan had just listened to Qiong Wei's suggestion, and the two dived into the sea together to look for it, and after a long time of no success, they got out of the sea, leaning on the big waves and before they could calm down, they felt something strange around them. Originally, it was a sunny day, the sky was blue, the sun was shining brightly, and the undulating waves on the sea surface were illuminated like sparkling white snow in the sun, shaking people's eyes, but now when Xingyan and Qiong Wei wiped the sea water off their faces, when they opened their eyes, they found that it was dim, although there were still not many clouds in the sky, and the sun hung alone in the sky, but I don't know when this dazzling white day had become gray, as if just now when I dived into the sea, covered with a lot of dust and yellow mud, completely lost its luster. And at this time, the drifting clouds in the distance, dimly dissipated, against the equally dim background of the sky, like patches of mints that are about to melt away.

Seeing such an abnormal situation, he was hesitating to himself, and suddenly saw the fire in the south. Raising his eyes and concentrating, he saw that the south side of the sea was red and gorgeous, continuous like a tent, and the strange light tent stretched out for about ten miles. When he looked closely, he found that there were many shadows in the middle of the light tent, and there were strange peaks and abrupt towers, and there were many flames in them, like the reflection of a volcanic void, and they were reflected in front of them by such a mirage-like vision.

Looking at the protrusion of this strange peak on the sea, Xingyan hesitated for a while, and when he hesitated, he suddenly heard a gentle voice in the void coming from all directions:

"Zhang Xingyan—"

The mellow and soft voice said:

"The gate of Kunlun has been opened, if you are not afraid of fortune and fortune, please enter this door. ”

"Xihe ......"

Xingyan heard the voice coming from the darkness, which was the voice of the former Yue Xi and the goddess.

Listening to Xi He's call, he understood that he didn't understand, and finally didn't hesitate anymore, took Qiong Wei's hand, got up with the sword, and stepped into the red light!

"Boom ......"

In an instant, there was a loud bang in the dim time and space, as if there was a mysterious gate of heaven and earth, Huo Ran opened, and the two people who stepped in rashly were instantly inhaled!

...... "Where is this?"

Stepping into the "Kunlun Gate" laid by the goddess Xihe, Zhang Xingyan looked around in ignorance, only to see that there seemed to be no heaven and no earth, no top and no bottom, no left and no right, and everywhere there was only an endless raging flame; except for the soft lava lava at the bottom of the fire, except for his two uninvited guests, there was only a boundless bright red flame left in this heaven and earth.

In such a strange fiery space, there is not the slightest trace of smoke and dust, perhaps because the erupting flames are so hot, everything that falls into it, whether it burns or not, evaporates into a wisp of heat in an instant, and merges into this boundless sea of fire.

In such a flame mountain that can burn everything, feeling the compelling hot air, and awakening that the amazing intuition under the strange cultivation was extraordinary in an instant, and while dodging the flames, he had a premonition that in such a scorching and silent lava volcano, even if he was more extraordinary than facing Meng Zhang a few days ago, he would not be able to withstand a moment in such a blazing flame. At that time, everything will be silent, and he Zhang Xingyan and Qiong Wei will have to become flames!

At this time, Xingyan grabbed Qiong Wei's small hand and flew between the nets intertwined with the flames, and with his galloping figure, the color of the slurry at the bottom of the flames became brighter and more gorgeous, exuding a bewitching light; it seemed that as long as Xingyan's eyes were on the ubiquitous bright molten lava, he was deeply attracted, and the trajectory of the flight unconsciously deviated to that place, and the whole person suddenly understood the mood of the fire-fighting moth, and wanted to go to the bright and colorful lava magma wall to imprint his own traces, and his soul turned into a wisp of smoke, forever staying on this hot and rushing mountain of fire。

"Let's go!"

In the face of such a dangerous situation, the experienced Four Seas Hall Master did not hesitate, with a move of his left hand, the Divine Sealing Sword under his feet burst up, slashing in front of him like a bolt of lightning, and instantly slashed blood marks on the five fingers of his left hand. Ten fingers connected to the heart, the severe pain made people sober, coupled with the outstanding effect of Taihua Dao Force to concentrate and calm the qi, this Sihai Hall Master who broke into the Fire God Mountain immediately abandoned the temptation of the fire spirit, and pulled Qiong Wei like a meteor through the sky, flying from the top of this incomprehensible circle of flames, leaving the violent mountain of fire spirits dancing far behind!

It's just that I have just passed the volcano, and before I can breathe a sigh of relief, the same strange feeling hits. Cool, refreshing, as if sweaty and rainy summer suddenly stepped into the bamboo sea where the wind blew thousands of miles, and an amazing refreshing feeling came to the world. Especially when you have just experienced the oven-like bump away from the real fire, and then suddenly encounter such a fresh and cool feeling, how comfortable the body and mind are, can no longer be expressed in words;

It's just that such an intoxicating comfort, combined with the abyss of weak water that does not float under the goose feathers, this diametrically opposed cool intoxication becomes another fatal silence.

The abyss of weak water under the fire mountain on the periphery of Kunlun Tianxu is as smooth as a mirror, and the water light is as deep as a black jewel, and the diffuse flow surrounds the Tianxu outside, and the source flows for hundreds of miles. This is the abyss of weak water that tests the ability and mind of the intruder together with the mountain of fire, like the amorous eyes of a lover in love, deep and subtle. The smooth and transparent surface of the abyss does not have the slightest ripple, and it seems that the bottom can be seen at a glance, but somehow, the water abyss, which is so pure and smooth as a mirror, looks as dignified as black satin silk. Even if you are lucky enough to walk closely, you can't see the slightest reflection of yourself.

"Its water has a spirit!" - when Xingyan fell from the top of the volcano to the abyss of weak water with pleasure and pleasure, his heart was filled with an inexplicable emotion. The silent abyss of water is reflected in my mind, but it seems to appear as a beautiful goddess. The ethereal goddess, with a holy glow on her face, sang euphemistic songs in her ears in the gentlest voice. Come, come, when the filthy body returns to the embrace of holiness, and all useless troubles return to the smoke and dust of the void, I will sleep with you in this place of eternal sleep until the end of the world...... "I am coming, I am coming!"

Ying echoed such a charming song and call from the bottom of his heart, and the awakening words were like an autumn leaf falling from a high mountain, with a happy and satisfied smile on his face, and fell happily towards the land of no return.

"Brother!"

Suddenly, a spring thunder sounded, just before the black dots in the void were about to fall into the abyss, almost only a few feet and a few inches left, and a figure suddenly flashed in the vast and boundless clear light, just like a white gull sweeping across the sea, stretching the wings of Chufeng, sliding from the body of Xingyan Flying, and carrying him up, like a white cloud pushed by the wind, from the deep weak water abyss pool, flying in mid-air, throwing into the high sky full of smoke and clouds in the distance!

...... Gluttony until a long time later, "Brother, you don't have to thank me!"

When Xingyan came to her senses and thanked Qiong Wei, she didn't take credit. They were now resting on the side of a cloud road in this strange space, leaning against a piece of shiny jade, waking up and calming down, busy calming their nerves, while Qiong Wei looked around, very curious. However, even if Qiong Wei looked around, he couldn't see anything. Outside of them were now full of surging clouds and mist, covering the sky, and they could not see the distance at all.

After resting on the side of this cloud road and stopping for a while, Qiong Wei peeked at Xingyan's expression, and saw that his face was still a little pale, so he volunteered to find some food nearby that could suppress the shock. Before the soul of the Four Seas Hall Master could react, the kind-hearted girl had already bounced up, jumped into the clouds and mist, and disappeared again.

After Qiong Wei left, this time Xingyan didn't worry too much. In less than a moment, Qiong Wei appeared from the fog, holding a huge snow-white fruit in each hand, and flew towards this side. While running, Qiong Wei kept his eyes on the fruits in his hand, as if he was afraid that they would fly away.

"What is this?"

When Qiong Wei approached, Xingyan saw clearly the fruit she was holding in her hand, and the shape looked like two plump peaches, but the color was shiny, and it was not quite like it, Xingyan was not sure, and asked Qiong Wei:

"Is this a peach?"

"Yes!"

Qiong Wei's two thin lips touched up and down, and replied crisply:

"This is a delicious jade peach!"

"Oh, could it be that you really came to West Kunlun?"

I have already experienced the mountain of fire and the abyss of weak water before, and then I heard Qiong Wei say this, and compared with the records of the classics I had read before, I was afraid that I had really come to the immortal mountain Kunlun of the land of immortals and the ruins of the gods!

At this time, because he had been roasted by the mountain of fire just now, he was indeed thirsty, and when he heard Qiong Wei's words of "jade peach", he couldn't help but drool a little, so he reached out to take the jade peach in Qiong Wei's hand. I was about to take it, but I saw Qiong Wei say:

"Brother, this jade peach is not in a hurry to eat, brother wait a while, wait for Qiong Wei to find the well, wash it with the chalcedony jade liquid in this well, and then give it to my brother to eat. Now this peach is like a stone, and if you eat it in a hurry, you will break your teeth!"

"Uh......"

Hearing Qiong Wei's words, Xingyan was a little surprised, and asked:

"Qiong Wei, how do you know how to eat this jade peach?"

"Ah......h

Unexpectedly, when this was asked, Qiong Wei was asked.

"yes, how do I know?"

Precisely:

Spring said to take the chariot and go to Tiansun Zhu. The eye wave micro note will be called morning glory.

When I saw it, I reorganized the neon dance. It's all correct, once in a thousand years, don't worry about Zhang Langgu.
