ephemera

After the heavenly army declared war on the demons, the forces of the demons distributed in all walks of life began to prepare for battle.The army first went to the human world, where there are the most magic soldiers, but also the weakest, and the distance from other circles is also the farthest. It is said that far water cannot save near fire, and we still have the strength to deal with it.

Because of my weak spiritual power, Xiyan was worried that I would stay alone in the military camp, so he took me with him, but there was very little room for me to use, so I had to carry two Shura knives to bluff people and occupy the world. The general of the family is a coward. Who would have expected that he would abandon the city and flee as soon as our army reached the foot of the city.Taking advantage of the golden opportunity given by God, we worked hard and finally won the victory.

The strongholds of the demons in the world happen to be in Kui Kingdom and Ling Kingdom, and there are only a few people. The newly ascended Valkyrie turned out to be Zhong You, the princess of Kui Kingdom.

Since we arrived in Kui Kingdom, even after the victory, I felt a lingering unbearable and sadness on the face of the Valkyrie. She felt like she had experienced a second nightmare.

The disciple of the previous Valkyrie I met in Tianlao was much calmer now, and followed the current Valkyrie all day long, but he was not seen on the battlefield.We met by chance in the military camp that day. He stretched his face and covered his head and bumped into me. Xiyan was talking to me and did not stop his "quick" pace. He knocked me back a few steps heavily, Xiyan. Yan supported me, looked at him, Xiao Xianguan took a step back from Xi Yan's warning eyes, and said sullenly, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, I thought it was the days of war that made him physically and mentally exhausted, so I joked: "Where did you come from, don't even look at the road? If you bump into a magic soldier, there will be no Brother Tianbing to rescue you."

He looked up at me, blinked his eyes, then smiled and said, "So it's you, Juyue!"

I nodded and asked, "What's the matter with you, why are you here alone?"

He snorted and said, "I don't want to follow the Valkyrie anymore. I'll follow you to see if you lack apprentices."

Xiyan answered for me, with a straightforward tone: "There is no shortage."

I stopped Xiyan from making a gesture to leave, and asked the little fairy officer, "What happened?"

Xiao Xianguan said that this year's Valkyries are really the worst teachers he has ever seen. They never let their little apprentices go to the battlefield, saying that their spiritual power is too low and they can't help them on the battlefield. It's better to stay in the barracks Then, cook for the returning soldiers, they are not cooks from anywhere, why should they cook!

Just a fairy official who was cooking passed by and said to him: "What's wrong with the cook, without us, you will starve to death."

I hurriedly calmed down, and said to the little fairy officer: "The Valkyrie is not considerate in every aspect, and she doesn't know if you are sullen. Let us take you to talk about it."

Xiao Xianguan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "I lost my temper just now, and I have no face to go back."

I said with relief: "The Valkyrie won't argue with you, come on."

The little fairy officer didn't refuse, and followed us all the way to the Valkyrie's camp. The messenger informed Xiyan and me of the news, and the Valkyrie came out to greet her, and immediately saw the little fairy officer standing behind me. He moved and said, "I don't know what's important for General Xiyan to come here?"

Xiyan is now in command of a heavenly army. Although there have been rumors about him "deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors", it seems that the "heavenly auspiciousness" bestowed by the heavenly emperor is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Courtesy.It's not that the people in the Heavenly Court are all fools, it's just that there were many misunderstandings in the past, and there were crises that would arise from time to time, and he didn't need to explain it.

Xiyan pulled the little fairy officer out from behind us and said, "His Royal Highness, we mainly want to talk about this disciple."

The Valkyrie froze for a moment, and invited us into the camp.

We didn't talk for too long, but the Valkyrie was resolute, thinking that the elders should only be responsible for the war, and the younger generation should not be ignored. The little fairy officer tried her best to say: "But when Xiyan was my age, he had already followed General Jin Ge On to the battlefield!"

The Valkyrie glanced at Xiyan and said, "You are different from him. He is auspicious in the heavens and has a high level of cultivation. What about you? You are just a little fairy official with hundreds of years old."

The little fairy was very aggrieved, and hurriedly asked me for help, I smiled and asked the Valkyrie: "How does Your Highness think the power of mortals compares to that of the Demon Realm?"

"Beat the stone with an egg."

I asked again: "Does Your Highness know that the lord of Kui Kingdom once led his soldiers to resist the demon army for seven days?"

The Valkyrie asked suspiciously: "Seven days?"

I nodded and said, "That's right, I heard that the lord of the country led the generals with the family-heired sword Hongmeng, and vowed not to surrender."

The Valkyrie touched the sword at her waist and said, "My saber is Hongmeng, which ascended with me and has become a spiritual weapon. Do you mean that in my previous life I was the ruler of Kui Kingdom?"

I nodded and said, "When a mortal becomes an immortal, in order to get rid of all roots and thoughts, his past life memories will be erased. If it wasn't for this matter this time, I wouldn't mention it to the Valkyrie."

The Valkyrie was silent for a while, and then said, "When you say that, I think of something."

She glanced at Xi Yan and me, the little fairy officer had sharp eyes, and immediately stood up and said, "Teacher, if there is anything you want to say, I can go out."

The Valkyrie shook her head and said, "No need. Dare I ask you, did Zhong Ming really die in an assassination?"

I was surprised that she remembered Zhong Ming so quickly, and said: "The secret must not be revealed, but His Highness is such a nervous disciple in this life, it must be inseparable from the hidden pain of the previous life."

She smiled reassuringly and said, "Yes, I understand."

The little fairy officer looked at the Valkyrie anxiously, but the Valkyrie shook her head and said, "Your brothers can go to the battlefield alone, but you can't."

Xiao Xianguan made a gesture and was about to slam the "door" away, but the Valkyrie grabbed him and said, "You must always be by your senior brother's side."

Xiao Xianguan was stunned for a moment, understood the Valkyrie's meaning, and smiled happily.

When I got out of the Valkyrie's camp, the little fairy officer stopped me and said, "When we get back to the Heavenly Court, I will definitely come and play with you!"

I nodded and said, "It's a deal."

After the little fairy officer left, I asked Xiyan privately: "How did you feel when you followed Ah Xu?"

He looked at me suspiciously and said, "No, he has a weird attitude towards me, good and bad, sometimes very close, sometimes fierce, but I don't care, I just think about when I can see you .”

I laughed and said, "I know this, I'm asking you, do you often get hurt?"

He also smiled and asked, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

I was a little emotional and said, "If I were really your teacher, I might be the same as the Valkyrie, not letting you take risks."

Xi Yan said: "Then do you think I agree with Xiao Xianguan?"

After we finished rectifying, we headed towards the demon world. Yinhe was familiar with the area of ​​the demon world, so he became the general who charged at the front line. He was no longer the young emperor who was forced to retreat by the big demon. He stood calmly at the forefront of the army , launched an attack towards the magic army.

Just when we won the victory, the Underworld and the Demon Realm sent reinforcements, and the battle came to a stalemate for a while.

In the middle of the night, looking from the Xiaying Cliff in the demon world to the demon army on the opposite side, I saw thousands of torches burning, and the lights constantly approaching the demon army camp, converging into a narrow orange river.

Yinhe sat there motionless, staring at the jade hairpin in his hand for a long time, Xiyan and I were waiting beside him, and we will discuss countermeasures with Guanmiao and the others soon.

The night wind was blowing, but there was no moisture, it was very dry, and it burned people's faces.

Yinhe said: "If it was the eldest sister, she would not be as worried as I am. She is very capable and gives people a feeling that everything is fine."

When he said that, I would think of many people, Shigu, Yaoyan, Huaji, and the enemy who became the enemy. Many times, some painful memories will not be forgotten by us, because we always feel Painful things are more valuable than happy things, but when you live long enough, you realize that painful experiences abound and happy things are rare. At this time, you have to hold back all the pain and cherish every joy that brings happiness. people.

I coughed and said to him, "Yinhe, it's time to go back."

Yinhe put away the hosta and walked towards the camp, but I didn't move, Xiyan asked, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head and said, "It's okay, you go first, I'll watch you."

Xiyan had some doubts, but followed Yinhe as I said. I looked at their backs under the moonlight, and felt a sense of reluctance in my heart. Yinhe's figure gradually disappeared at the end, followed by Xiyan.

But Xiyan stopped, turned to me, waved to me with a smile on his face and said, "I'll wait for you."

I walked up quickly, and my hand was immediately held in a fiery palm.

The two armies of the demon army converged, and the monsters who spied on the news returned, and the wounded demon king Fengjiu was about to heal heavily. Juntian had already issued an order for a decisive battle, which boosted the morale of the demon army.

There was a moment of silence in the camp, and Xiyan suddenly said, "I have a solution."

Everyone looked at him closely, Xiyan stood up and said, "Who is in charge of the underworld now?"

Guan Miao raised her eyes and said calmly: "Demons, they killed Hades."

Xi Yan immediately replied: "The people of the Demon Race must not be familiar with the affairs of the underworld, but after so long, we haven't heard of ghosts causing trouble, which means that the Demon Race has borrowed people from the Underworld to take care of it."

Guan Miao took a look at Xi Yan, and immediately sent someone out to investigate, taking advantage of this gap, Xi Yan pondered: "I guess the person who manages the affairs of the underworld is Meng Po."

Not long after, the person who investigated the news came back, and it turned out that Po Meng was in charge of the underworld. Everyone was curious about how Xiyan knew the news, and they all looked forward to him saying that Xiyan stood up, tall and tall, and raised his eyebrows lightly. And the past: "In the early days of the chaos, I went to the underworld."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at me, as if he had experienced another life-and-death parting. I lowered my eyes and listened to him continue: "At that time, I met Po Meng. If she hadn't helped me lure the demons from chasing soldiers, I would have been killed. They caught her, but Po Meng did not rebel, and I speculate that it was the demons who let Po Meng manage the underworld in order to take over the accusations of the King of Hades."

At this time, Guan Miao looked over and said, "You mean, we send people to the back of the underworld?"

Xi Yan nodded, met Guan Miao's gaze, and said, "That's right, but it can't be too obvious."

I suddenly knew what Xiyan wanted to do, Guanmiao should also understand, and continued: "Now the demons are not killing prisoners like they did at the beginning, but turning them into the demon soldiers they want. If we send a The team wandered down, entered the rear of the demons, and then echoed with the lady Meng who was in charge of the underworld, and then they could attack the demon army back and forth."

"That's right." Xi Yan replied with a smile.

"Brilliant plan!" A general praised.

I asked: "But this team must be strong enough, who can we send now?"

Xi Yan said: "Generals are required to be on the front line, and the number of people we can transfer is limited, and because the spiritual power of the demons is different from that of other three worlds, the people we send must be able to control their own spiritual power and not be discovered by the demons. "

Guan Miao immediately made a decision: "Elect tonight, take advantage of the war tomorrow, and push the boat along."

I volunteered to sign up, but both Xiyan and Guanmiao felt that my spiritual power was too low, and that I was useless except for two Asura knives.

Xiyan, as the person who put forward the strategy, naturally went. He also selected several young people from the heavenly realm, including a disciple of the Valkyrie. A few Taoist priests cultivating immortals followed, a group of twenty or so, followed by a small team of a hundred or so people, all of whom restrained their powerful spiritual power.

I followed Yinhe to the front line. He saw that my spiritual power was weak and I had a headache. He was worried that he would not be able to take care of me during the war.

He frowned and said, "You're fine, if you get hurt, you can't blame me when Xiyan comes back."

I know what Xiyan pulled Yinhe to say before he left. For a long time, Xiyan and I always get together and stay apart, and now we meet again not long ago, and we separated for a short time. I don’t know if he will be in any danger this time.

Yinhe tried the demonic energy in his hand, saw me lost in thought, and said to me: "Don't worry, he will be fine."

I agreed and rushed into the battlefield with the army.

Sure enough, the magic army has become stronger because of the recovery of Fengji's injuries. They are composed of people from all ethnic groups, most of whom have been deprived of their will, and can only rely on the caster's thoughts to act. Now the spellcaster Juntian must be eager Kill us all, that's why the magic army desperately blocked us wave after wave.

Under the crazy attack of the demon army, our battle line retreated [-] miles and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the demons also exhausted their strength and did not come after us.Taking advantage of the truce, Guan Miao found me and asked me to set up an enchantment around the army with several immortal officials.

His attitude towards me was lukewarm, but for a few moments, I felt that his always tense face had a temporary relaxation, not a rest, but aging and fatigue, making him look like a 30-year-old mortal.

He didn't look up, and asked me, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." I turned my head away and said.

He said to me in a rare gentle way: "I have guarded the Heavenly Court for thousands of years, and I will not lose this time."

I nodded, and he continued to sarcastically say, "You are quite similar to the Emperor of Heaven."

"Where?"

"Sometimes the mouth is stupid."

"..." I knew he couldn't say anything good.

After forming the enchantment, I asked him: "You have a good relationship with the Heavenly Emperor... and Yu Ge, right?"

He didn't go straight back to his camp to start thinking about the next strategy as usual, but stopped and asked curiously, "Hasn't the Emperor of Heaven mentioned it to you?"

I shook my head, and he sneered and said, "No wonder you didn't know me when I first met you."

He glanced at me, with a somewhat melancholy expression, and said: "They and I have been good friends since childhood. Before the heavens ruled all walks of life, the powers of the five races of immortals, humans, demons, demons, and ghosts were actually equal. I have known Chunzuo and Yuge for a long time, but it took a long time before we became good friends, and losing anyone is a loss."

I remembered that the Emperor of Heaven said that Guan Miao had killed his most beloved woman. I wondered if that person was Yu Ge, but felt that there was no need to ask, the elders had secrets that belonged to the elders.

Guan Miao suddenly said: "In the past, every time I went to war, Chun Zuo and Yu Ge would always divination for me. Now that they are gone, no one cares about my safety."

I saw him suddenly express sentimentality and said, "Although my astrology and divination are not very good, I can do one for you."

He seemed to dislike my divination ability and didn't respond, but after a while he shook his head and said, "Chun Zuo seems to be reluctant to teach you astrology and divination."

The Emperor of Heaven did not seriously teach me astrology and divination. I think he probably wanted to keep me from knowing the final outcome of myself and the people around me, so that I could concentrate on my goal.

Guan Miao sighed and said: "He is like this, sometimes he seems very ruthless, but..."

He paused for a moment, that long time became a big river running between me and Guan Miao, I didn't know how to comfort me, so I just kept silent, Guan Miao said again: "Actually, I made a divination for you last night."

I froze for a moment, completely unable to understand why this God who wished for me to disappear not long ago suddenly cared about my future, Guan Miao looked at me squarely and said, "It's not for you, I just want to see the end of this war."

I smiled shyly and asked, "How did it turn out?"

He stretched out his hand suddenly, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Very well, almost everyone has fulfilled their wish."

This answer is too empty, and I didn't take it to heart.But there seems to be some unbearable expression in his eyes. He once said that I look like Yu Ge, and I don't know what kind of mood he feels every time he sees me. Maybe it's not completely disgusting.

After a few days, the demon army recovered and patrolled outside our barrier again. Xiyan sent Shifang Bird back, and the bird brought back good news. After Xiyan and others were escorted to the Demon Realm, Granny Meng recognized them. They, there are not many demons left in the underworld. Po Meng opened the gates of all levels of hell, controlled the ghosts with resentment, and defeated the demons left in the underworld together with Xiyan and others.

Guanmiao and Yinhe felt that the time had come, and sent some troops to detour from behind us to the underworld to support Xiyan and others. After Yinhe gave an order, we also opened the barrier, and people from all walks of life shared the same hatred and ran towards the same goal.
