chronicle of court survival

Dongzhou is facing the sea, and the city of Chuanxi is also mostly rivers.

Huaijin Cheung Chau is still snowing in February, but here the catkins have sprouted and the ice and snow have melted.

Dongfang Hao is like a dog skin plaster, swaying around him all day long, ignoring: "Junior Brother Xia, it's a pity that you didn't go to the competition today, you don't know how majestic Junior Brother is! Now Junior Brother is really a celebrity in the cultivation world , There are a group of people around him every day to show courteousness!"

Xia Qing asked, "What about you?"

Dongfang Hao was puzzled: "Huh?"

Xia Qing: "Little brother is so popular, why doesn't brother Dongfang seize the opportunity, you must know that the moon is the first to get close to the water."

Dongfang Hao choked and shook his head: "No, I'm not good enough for Junior Brother."

Xia Qing: "No, I won't allow you to be unworthy."

Be confident, you are a match made in heaven.

"..."

Dongfang Hao's smile was slightly stiff and distorted.

Xia Qing agreed to come here at the beginning, on the one hand, because he was still a little weak after being resurrected, and on the other hand, he himself was very curious about Dongzhou.

In the past few days, he was sitting in the lobby of the inn drinking water, the little junior brother on the left was yin and yang, and Dongfang Hao on the right was fanning the flames.He really wanted to cover his ears and let them torture each other.

These two are actually quite interesting.

A person's hatred comes from jealousy, from the simplest vanity; a person's love comes from appearance, from the most superficial skin.

Hearing that the Shark Demon likes to eat people, Dongfang Hao really didn't know whether it was a good eye or a bad one, so he actually paid attention to him.

Of course, Xia Qing didn't enjoy this kind of gaze at all.

He never found it fun to figure out people's hearts.

He stayed, maybe what he wanted to see was the stalemate of the shark and human race in a hundred years.

Now the Shark Demon can be punished by everyone, just like everyone in the Shark Clan can play with it back then.

He once drew his sword for the Shark Clan in the bloody night in the mountain village, but in the end no one could be saved, and the fire burned everything, leaving ruins and scorched earth.

——The only way to get rid of the hatred that cannot be traced back to its source is to cut off reincarnation.

What's more, there are so many innocent people in the city, so they can't act rashly.

In February, willow eyes and spring continue, and peach blossoms are everywhere.

Under the guidance of an old beggar, Xia Qing walked into a bookstore.

He originally planned to read folk tales and learn how to work in a crematorium.

As a result, I accidentally opened the book called "Dongzhou", and was attracted by the word "Shangqing" in it.

Xia Qing murmured: "Shangqing?"

There was no one in the bookstore. Seeing that he had just picked up this book, the boss started chatting with him, sighing: "Shangqing was the capital of Liguo a hundred years ago, and after Liguo was destroyed, this name disappeared. In history. Who would have thought that after many years, it would become the name of a famous cultivator in the world."

Xia Qing was puzzled: "Leaving the country?"

The owner of the bookstore pondered his calculations, nodded and said, "That's right, Liguo was the largest country in Dongzhou back then. It's a pity that every prosperity is bound to decline, and the last monarch of Liguo was tyrannical and fatuous, and was conspired by others to change the dynasty."

Xia Qing nodded, continued to read, and found out that the surname of the emperor who left the country was Empress Xue, he was stunned for a long time.

The boss is over sixty years old, and he can't hold back his words, so he likes to chat with people. He said, "Speaking of the last royal family in Liguo, I have to mention the little princess. You know that Dongzhou women have slender waists—this It was all caused by the little Empress who was famous in Dongzhou back then."

"The little emperor recorded in the history books came here on the moon, growing lotuses every step of the way, slender and slim like a concubine in the palace, and attracted many women to follow suit."

Xia Qing couldn't help tightening his hand holding the book.

The boss continued: "I heard that when the little Diji was born, a strange light descended from the sky. Emperor Li was overjoyed, and the name he gave the little Diji also had the word Guang. It's just that Diji was born in poor health, and suffered from serious and minor illnesses when she was young. Stop, the empress is so anxious. Fortunately, the national teacher searched mountains and rivers and found a solution. The national teacher said that the emperor can't be kept in the imperial city, and needs to return to the mortal world."

"So when little Diji was five years old, the empress sent her to a small town called Qinglan on the coast of Dongzhou."

"Emperor Ji grew up in Qinglan City, and has returned to Shangqing City twice in her life. One time was to attend the funeral of the empress, and the other time was when the country fell."

"People say that she became a god after worshiping in the fairy gate, and I think so."

"On the day when Liguo was forced into the palace, brother Xiao Diji committed suicide in front of the palace. There was a heavy rain in Shangqing City, but the palace was on fire. Some palace people said that they saw little Diji sitting in the palace. On the wall, I stayed for a long time. Leaving the country and ruining the country is fate and the general trend, but she is still not happy. The palace man also said that there is a purple shirt fairy sitting next to Di Ji, who tilts his head and tries to make her laugh. "

"If little Diji really becomes a fairy, and there is someone in the sky who can be entrusted to her for life, she should be gratified if she thinks she will come to the Empress Spring to know."

Xia Qing rested his fingers on the page and said nothing.

She has indeed become a fairy, but she has no one to entrust her life to.

Is this the high priest and his wife, childhood sweetheart and bamboo horse, singing in harmony as told by Lingguang storyteller?In the end, they disagreed and parted ways.

Qinglan should be Song Guichen's hometown.

The owner of the bookstore smiled and said: "Oh, I also read some messy books. At that time, the national teacher had been divination for three years, and asked for a signature from the temple to turn over the book. He only got four words about the fate of the emperor, but which four words? , we don't know."

Xia Qing thought for a while and asked, "Boss, do you know where Qinglan City is?"

The boss was stunned: "Young Master, why do you ask this?"

Xia Qing said: "It's the place where Curious Emperor Ji grew up as a child."

The boss sighed softly, with deep exhaustion and sadness in his eyes: "Qinglan City, it's gone, it wasn't here 100 years ago, and it was killed by the shark demon entering the city."

"Thousands of people, men, women, and children, all of them were spared. Their stomachs were gutted and their heads were hung on the wall. Shark demons were especially good at illusion. I heard that at that time they enjoyed playing with wanderers returning home. They turned everything into a peaceful appearance, and then Cook the meat of blood relatives with your own hands and coax people to eat it, just to watch the person vomit and cry bitterly after learning the truth."

After the bookstore owner finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, and his voice was old: "Back then, the emperor of Chu conquered the sky, and in exchange for a hundred years of peace. Unexpectedly, everything is back to normal now."

Xia Qing pursed her lips and remained silent.

A hundred years of peace.

Is this 100 years really peaceful?

A hundred years ago, sharks ate humans, and a hundred years later, humans will eat sharks.

It was already night when Xia Qing left the bookstore.He was walking on the street and stopped in front of a stall selling lanterns.Rabbit lamps, lotus lamps, tiger lamps, and all kinds of strange-shaped lamps are available, but there is no Lingwei flower lamp that he wants.

He bought a lotus lantern casually and walked towards the inn. Dark clouds overwhelmed the city and stars were sparse.

In the inn, a group of teenagers were chatting and drinking, Dongfang Hao sat in the corner and glared at him gloomily, while the junior brother was drinking red, seeing Xia Qing coming back, hatred flashed in his eyes, he was holding his throat and trying to speak .

Xia Qing walked straight over this time.

"Xia Xia Xia Xia, Qing." The junior brother stuttered.

Xia Qing asked him: "Do you have the token of the Shangqing Sect?"

——Shangqing sent light to invite the sects of the world to go to Dongzhou to subdue the demons.

The little junior brother was stubborn: "If it's not on me, is it still on you? Ah, you you you you you what are you going to do?"

Xia Qing said, "Take it out."

The little junior was furious.

But Xia Qing was impatient, and her slender fingers touched his forehead directly.

The junior brother's pupils suddenly widened.

A vast and terrifying power spread throughout the inn, everyone's bodies were stiff and their faces were pale.

The sound of the wind died down, and the lights and moonlight seemed to be in shape at this moment, turning into a snowy blade, and the killing intent melted into the sky and the earth.

It's not the kind of destructive power visible to the naked eye, it's more nihilistic, but also more terrifying.

Everyone stiffened and held their breath—the air was now a blade, clinging to their necks.

...a coercion completely beyond their cognition.

These days, in the Zongmen Grand Competition, a group of people who consider themselves the favored ones of heaven are competing to show off.They take it as their duty to be chivalrous and righteous, slaying demons and demons, and they think they care about the benevolence and righteousness of the world. They look down on Xia Qing's embroidered pillow, which is full of gold and shattered, and will only hinder it.

Xia Qing has always been avoiding them, and everyone is complacent, thinking that he is ashamed of himself.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qing ignored them, she just didn't want to talk to them...

"Pre-senior..." The elder brother who took the lead of the Danxin faction knelt down at once.

Xia Qing lowered her eyes and said softly: "With so many sects in the Sixteen States, none of them noticed something was wrong."

The little junior brother was manipulated by him, without saying a word, he took out the token from his arms stiffly.

The simple purple wooden token has clear handwriting, with the word "Shangqing" written on it.Xia Qing moved his finger away from between his brows and touched the token.

In an instant, the illusion covering it was crushed, and a dark white human bone was revealed in everyone's eyes.

Ya sparrow was silent for a moment.

Crash!At this time, the windows of the inn were blown open by the wind, and the turbid yellow moonlight came in.

In an instant, the bustling hawking, laughing, and talking outside vanished into thin air.

Looking around, it is empty and silent, there is no human habitation, an empty city.

At this time, a strange blue miasma began to float above the dark street.

"Hahahahaha—!" Sitting in the corner, Dongfang Hao burst out laughing, his eyes dark: "I thought how long it would take you to find out that something was wrong! Hahahaha! It's so rare that there is still a smart person among the idiots." of!"

Dongfang Hao stood up from the chair, tore off the camouflage, his body became tall and thin, revealing translucent ears and sharp fangs, he licked his lower lip: "Xia Qing, you are indeed the one I fancy, You're pretty smart."

"Shark Demon!!"

“啊啊啊啊啊是鲛妖！！”僵住了的众人这才回神，骤然拔高声音，失声尖叫。

Dongfang Hao proudly said: "I thought you would really wait for the Supreme Court to send you."

Xia Qing said lightly: "I never thought about waiting for the Qing to send me."

Dongfang Hao narrowed his eyes: "Huh? Then what are you waiting for?"

Xia Qing sneered, with a calm expression, and put the human bones on the table: "Wait until you come to seek death yourself. I was concerned about the people in the city and wanted to wait. I didn't expect that this place had already become an empty city. If that is the case, there is no need to think about it." too much."

Dongfang Hao was furious: "Xia Qing, you are so bold!"

Xia Qing smiled sarcastically, walked outside, and ignored him.

This neglected humiliation made Dongfang Hao furious.

He is one of the fifteen hall masters in Dongzhou, apart from the saint of consonance, who else in the world would dare to ignore him like this.But just as he was about to make a move, he took a step forward, but he directly felt the pain of Wan Jian's killing soul, and staggered to his knees.

Dongfang Hao suddenly raised his head, his pupils were full of shock: "Who the hell are you! You—"

Too much forgetting love, light, dust, grass and trees can all be swords.

Xia Qing lost the Ananda sword, but there was no need to use a sword to deal with these people.

The whole city was submerged in the blue mist, Xia Qing looked in the direction of Dongzhou, with a calm voice, he asked Dongfang Hao: "Dongfang Hao, who gave you the confidence to gather all the monks in one city to slaughter them. "

Even if the mermaids regain their strength, they are not invincible.They are fighting against human monks, and no one is necessarily seeking benefits from the other.

Dongfang Hao prostrated himself on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes were full of wild smiles, and he said in a hateful voice: "Xia Qing, you bastards with good looks will finally have to pay the price."

The deep hatred in his eyes has long overwhelmed the tyranny in his blood.

"My family has lived in the Tongtian Sea for generations, and neither can go ashore nor seek to go ashore. It is you humans who first coveted wealth and went out to sea in groups to hunt down sharks; then coveted longevity and led troops to conquer my gods and kill us. The family is trapped in the mainland. Whether it was then or now, everything is your own fault."

Bright red blood dripped from the corner of Dongfang Hao's mouth, and he smiled strangely: "Xia Qing, do you know what we found near Dongzhou a month ago?"

Xia Qing looked at him quietly.

Dongfang Hao said, "We discovered the Ananda Sword."

"The shark clan made a big mistake back then. The mistake was that we didn't stop humans from invading the shrine. We don't ask God for forgiveness." Speaking of this, Dongfang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, his lips trembled, and his voice softened: "We will ask God now. Have mercy on us one more time...let us go home."

"The Ananda sword, born in the beginning, is of the same origin as the god. Using it as a sacrifice, we felt the breath of the god for the first time a few days ago."

Dongfang Hao's eyes were confused and in a trance, and soon he regained consciousness, he sneered.

"The power of the Mermaid Clan is bestowed by the gods. When the gods come, the power will reach its peak. I don't know if the gods will take pity on us, but this time, you all die here first."

"No matter how powerful you are alone, can you be an enemy of thousands of mermaids in Dongzhou?"
