Chapter 209
"Heavenly Emperor Treasure Banner?"

Qi Jingzhi reacted immediately, knowing that this matter must have something to do with his own mount.

He immediately asked: "Mr. Wu, where are the men and horses in the Immortal Yudu Protectorate of the Great Demon Kingdom?"

When Wu Buer heard the young man's question, his face turned pale with shock, and the three leaves suddenly tightened, as if the human race involuntarily clenched their fists when their hearts were filled with anger.

I just heard the trembling voice of the general soldier who received Tianguan, and his tone was full of disbelief: "The Great Demon Kingdom is a false name, and the Immortal Yudu Protectorate is like this, which fully shows the usurping and disobedience of the Xuandu Immortal Dynasty." heart of!"

"As a vassal of the Immortal Dynasty, Wuhe Kingdom has been at odds with those rebels and has been fighting for years. Now that Shangxian has opened his mouth, he uses a fake name. Is it possible that this is going to be an act of envoy? Isn't this... Loved ones suffer but enemies are quickened?"

It gritted its teeth and asked the last sentence, and the number of dots of fluorescent light on the white flower clusters increased sharply, making it even more agitated and energetic.

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being startled when he saw this, and suddenly felt weird and absurd in his heart. However, after thinking about it, this small country that should be established by Wuhecao looks like that, and the straight-tempered Zongbing Tianguan in front of him is also very strange. There is a bit of loyalty and bravery.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little bit more fond of Wu Buer, and immediately solemnly shook his head and said: "Mr. Wu, don't think too much, I am definitely not here to recruit safety!"

Hearing the words, Wu Buer's expression softened at first, but then he suddenly spoke harshly: "Shangxian came to Xuandu for the first time, and it is inevitable to know some things without knowing."

"However, before one month, everyone in Wuhe Kingdom witnessed it with their own eyes. The Immortal was led to the heaven by the Immortal Lord himself. His status is beyond words. Once he opened his mouth, it would not be an exaggeration to say it was a golden word. Wanwang Shangxian Be careful with your words and deeds, don't chill the hearts of our loyal ministers!"

"Huh? I was taught a lesson by a plant of grass?"

Qi Jingzhi looked at Wu Buer, who looked at death like home, and inexplicably remembered those stupid kings in the drama stories, who would always be angrily reprimanded by loyal ministers who dared to advise, and became embarrassed and angry because of the spitting star sprayed on his face.

Qi Jingzhi was not too angry to become angry, but he couldn't help but reached out and touched his cheek.

Not to mention, the woody atmosphere in the Qihe Valley made his face really wet.

"I'm indeed new to Xuandu, so I don't know many things."

Qi Jingzhi had luck, and suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, but he couldn't help being aroused by Wu Buer, a local snake: "Dare to ask Zongbing Wu, when did Wuhe Kingdom get the title of Xuandu? How many people in the country are there?" population?"

Hearing this, Wu Buer immediately tried to straighten his thin stem, and replied loudly: "According to national history records, our Wuhe Kingdom was founded three years ago in 570. At that time, the fairy master had not ascended the throne, and he often traveled down to earth, so he shot Inspired the first generation of the country's lord, personally proclaimed him king, and 30 years later, he personally descended from the mortal world to guide Gao Zu to ascend to the sky."

"Afterwards, there were [-] rulers of the country successively. Except for [-] who were not virtuous and were not appreciated, the remaining [-] were also fortunate enough to be promoted to Xuandu."

When Qi Jingzhi heard this, the strange look on his face could hardly be suppressed, and he couldn't help but slander: "Master has so many tricks!"

He thought about it carefully, and it seems that there are indeed many exotic flowers and plants in the Zixu Pavilion where his master lives, and there are indeed three or five Wuhe plants among them, but it is just that the Wuhe Kingdom that has been "ascension to immortals" in the past dynasties There were thirteen former kings, and this number is obviously not right...

Qi Jingzhi calculated silently in his heart, and then asked: "In 570, there were nineteen rulers... So, the ruler of your Wuhe Kingdom changes every 30 years?"

Wu Buer nodded immediately when he heard the words: "According to the old rules of the Gaozu and Taizong dynasties, once the lord of the country has been in power for 30 years, he will take the initiative to abdicate, and choose the most spiritual descendant in the country to inherit the ancestral temple. The abdicated king Then you have to come here to meet Tianguan, build altars, set up sacrifices, offer incense and burn watches, and implore the immortal master for his kindness."

"This is a major event related to the rise and fall of the Wuhe clan. It has attracted the attention of all nations and clans. Once the old lord succeeds in ascending to immortality, the country will enjoy peace and prosperity for another 30 years!"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi stared at Wu Buer with burning eyes, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Are these Wuhecao pure in nature and really believe that the kings have ascended to immortality, or are they pretending to be confused and sacrificing their own kings in exchange for the safety of the country?
Wu Fuer was quite uncomfortable being looked at by the young man, and suddenly twisted his body: "Shangxian just asked about the population of Wuhe Kingdom..."

"According to the patriarchal law of the country, those who can speak without hindrance and walk like flying are the public family members, or those who live in the temple are the ministers, or join the Wuhe army as the generals. There are currently 37 of them."

"Those who have aura are scholar-bureaucrats, herdsmen officials, or soldiers in the army. There are about thousands in the country today. The successor king is selected from these outstanding descendants, and only those who have had aura for less than three years are eligible for selection.”

"The rest of the mediocre people are all ordinary people in the country, and they are all over the country, innumerable, or there are millions of them!"

Speaking of this, the general soldier of Jietianguan seemed to feel that the bullshit was a little too big, and added: "Wuhe Kingdom has a large number of people, living and multiplying everywhere, just look at this full of pits and valleys, even if there are no million people , 50 million is still available.”

Qi Jingzhi looked at the Wuhe grass formation in front of the stone steps, and it was densely packed, at least one or two thousand plants, and all the flower clusters were glowing with fluorescence. They were all so-called scholar-bureaucrat Wu Bian, which can be seen in Wuhe Kingdom It is indeed extremely responsible to guard the Tianguan.

He was a little wary of Wu Buer, pointed at the Wu Hecao in front of him, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Listen to Wu Zongbing's meaning, it is obvious that the talents of the public in the country are more outstanding, why do you want to learn from these plants?" Choose a new king from among the scholar-bureaucrats?"

Hearing this, Wu Buer answered quite candidly: "My Wuhe clan has limited aptitude, and my lifespan has never exceeded one year. Most of them are less than 30 years old, so only the youngest and most outstanding descendants among the scholar-bureaucrats have this chance to ascend to heaven."

Qi Jingzhi listened noncommittal.

Xianyu Xuandu Dongtian is obviously a rare blessed place in the world, and he has only seen the richness of spiritual energy in his life.

These dancing crane plants can have thousands of plants with spiritual light, and dozens of plants can turn into real spirits that can talk and run, naturally benefiting from this mysterious world.

However, even if they become spirit monsters, they can only live for one year. There must be a reason for it, and most of them are created by Xuan Duguan.

The so-called great furnace of vitality and yin and yang good fortune, the creatures living in the Crane Valley have benefited greatly, but at the same time they are hard to escape the tempering and weariness. Whether it is luck or misfortune, it is really unclear for a while.

Qi Jingzhi shook his head lightly, and stopped trying to figure out the true thoughts of these Wuhecao, and asked curiously: "Since Wuhe Kingdom's national strength is good, why did there be troubles today? What did Zongbing Wu say? What's going on with the traitor?"

"It's really embarrassing to say..."

When Wu Buer heard the words, the flower clusters drooped slightly, the fluorescent light flickered, and his tone became a little lower: "Three years ago, the old country lord successfully abdicated. , became sick from worry, and exhausted his vitality, and finally passed away unfortunately."

"Since then, the surrounding countries and clans have grown contemptuous of the Bi country, but the Bi country is now in the midst of the reign of the young master, and it is inevitable that there will be doubts about the master and the young country. The main thing is to shrink the defense. The thief sees an opportunity and becomes restless!"

Qi Jingzhi was speechless for a while, and knew that those abdicated monarchs who had never "been promoted to immortals" might not end well.

It's just that if you get to the bottom of this kind of matter, it will inevitably involve your own master, so it's not easy to talk about it.

"Wu Buer mentioned the various nations and clans twice. The number of spiritual creatures inhabiting the Crane Valley is probably far beyond my previous expectation. Although Ban Nu is protected by the Zouwu Banner and is surrounded by many siege, he can It may not be possible to escape safely, but we still have to go to the rescue."

Thinking of this episode, Qi Jingzhi immediately waved his hands and said, "Since Wuhe Kingdom is a bit weak now, I'd like to go and see what's going on in Guzhong."

When Wu Buer heard this, he couldn't help but become more and more dejected, looking quite ashamed.

It pondered for a while, then waved its blades and summoned a subordinate: "Forgive me, Wu, as the guard of the sky gate, dare not leave his post without permission. This is the most powerful captain under my command, let him do it for you." Shangxian will guide the way."

Qi Jingzhi nodded, stretched out his hand and gently lifted the one-inch-high Wuhecao Xiaowei, and put it on his shoulder.

Lieutenant Wu Hecao was obviously taken aback, and waited until Wu Buer yelled at him before he wrapped a leaf around the ear protectors of Xuanqinglong Helmet in fear.

Immediately afterwards, it stretched out the remaining blade, pointing to the depths of the dense forest ahead.

Wu Buer yelled loudly: "Let's stand up and step up for the Immortal!"

As soon as the words fell, the Wuhecao formation suddenly shrank towards the center, and all the leaves of Wubian stretched upwards at the same time, erected above the flower clusters, and instantly spliced ​​into a shield formation that was as tight as a low wall.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi nodded slightly towards Wubuer, and suddenly exerted force on his feet, kicked on the stone steps of the mountain path, flew a few feet in the air, and then lightly tapped on the Wuhe grass shield, his body jumped up lightly again, Straight into the secluded forest.

Lieutenant Wuhecao standing on his shoulder was shaking with excitement, while holding onto the Xuanqing dragon helmet tightly, he turned the tip of the leaf and pointed.

When Qi Jingzhi entered the forest, his breath was full of rich and pure air of pine, cypress, and Jiamu. The angry eyes of Qingyu Crane in his heart suddenly became more lively, and Qingyu Jinyi and Qingqiu Xuanjia were also faintly related to this pine forest. resonance.

While running and jumping, he gradually sensed the distribution and direction of the wood energy in the forest, and his whole body blended into it, like a fish entering the sea or a bird climbing into the sky. happy.

In the end, he didn't even need Captain Wuhecao on his shoulder to guide the way, and just relying on the spiritual sense in his heart, he ran straight to a place where spiritual energy gathered a few miles ahead.

In less than a cup of tea, several broken and toppled ancient trees appeared in front of his eyes, and it seemed that these ancient trees had fallen not long ago, which was exactly what he saw on Hezui Cliff.

Fallen trees and broken logs pressed and supported each other, forming a wall of trees, which blocked Qi Jingzhi's path and sight, and he could only roughly judge that the opposite side should be a clearing in the forest.

At this time, the tree wall was already full of creatures in the forest, all of which were small animals and birds, each with its back facing Qi Jingzhi's direction, while looking excitedly at the other end. What, chattering non-stop.

Qi Jing glanced over and could only recognize more than half of them. Some birds and beasts were considered to be natural enemies of each other, but at this moment they were standing very closely together to watch the excitement.

The aura on the boy's body had long been integrated with Youlin, and it wasn't until he approached step by step that he was discovered by these unsuspecting little fellows.

Some of them were stupid, just glanced at Qi Jing, then looked away, and continued to probe the opposite side, and there were quite a few who looked pleasing and spiritual, or bowed their heads respectfully, or raised their paws and fists in salute.

A little golden-haired monkey half the height of a person moved its butt graciously, squeezing a dumbfounded snowy owl next to it.

It grinned at Qi Jingzhi, stretched out its hand and patted the open space beside it, inviting the boy to come up and settle down.

Qi Jingzhi also gave the little monkey a bright smile, lifted his feet, jumped up the tree wall, and stood beside the golden-haired little monkey.

Sure enough, one can only see far away when climbing a height. He raised his eyes and found that not only birds and beasts flocked on the tree wall under his feet, but also many spectators were hiding on the surrounding ancient tree branches, especially cranes.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Jingzhi was attracted by the big scene in the open space ahead, and immediately imitated the appearance of these little guys on the tree wall, poking his head and looking around.

What unfolded in front of Qi Jingzhi was a specific battlefield.

A towering ancient tree stands alone at the east and west ends of the battlefield.

Qi Jingzhi looked intently, and immediately recognized the tree on the east as a chestnut tree. It was six or seven feet high, and the bark was dark gray, covered with longitudinal grooves and deep cracks. A vicissitudes of the old face.

Its branches are dark brown, the leaves are green onions, and the crown of the tree is covered with emerald green balls, which are densely packed with spikes.

Some green thorn balls have cracked, revealing the brown chestnut fruit inside.

With this old chestnut tree as the center, countless green thorn balls stand on the ground, neatly arranged in an array, which is quite similar to the Wuhecao army array before Tianguan.

"Why do the spiritual creatures in the Crane Valley like to mess with this?"

Qi Jingzhi was speechless secretly, and the three words "Ding Lingwei" came out of his mind unexpectedly: "Could it be that this person studied the crane wing array in Xianyu Mountain back then, and even the creatures in this valley suffered disaster?"

He shook his head, suppressed this absurd but possible guess, and immediately looked towards the other ancient tree on the west side of the battlefield.

The ancient trees in the west are one or two feet taller than the old chestnut trees, with dark brown bark, bright green and dense twigs, and the branches are covered with conical light yellow flowers.

Qi Jingzhi looked at it for a long time, but failed to recognize what kind of tree it was.

It's just a little bit strange, just now when his eyes fell on this unknown ancient tree, he seemed to smell a fragrance at the tip of his nose, and he felt a sense of déjà vu in his heart for no reason.

There is also an old face on the trunk of the unknown ancient tree, and there is also an army formation at the foot.

The soldiers deployed in the formation were not fruits, but mushrooms, large and small.

These shiitake mushrooms have eyebrows, eyes and hands and feet, and the canopy on their heads is leaning forward as a shield, and they are holding slender branches in their hands, as if they are using it as a spear or a spear.

Qi Jingzhi noticed that the side of the unknown ancient tree facing away from the old chestnut tree was covered with countless shiitake mushrooms, the largest of which was the size of a human head, which looked quite scary.

After seeing both sides clearly, Qi Jingzhi set his sights on the center of the battlefield.

Bannu was lying on the ground with Zouwu banners floating above his head, and the remains of chestnut and mushroom soldiers were spread around his body.

This guy didn't notice his master's arrival at all, he was picking and picking among the corpses, picking up a chestnut from time to time, crushing the skin with a snap, and throwing it into the bloody mouth, swallowing it without chewing go down.

Qi Jingzhi was speechless for a moment, the so-called unkillable benevolent beast, this quality is a bit too bad!
