The Demon Soul is Coming

Xia Yingchen stepped forward slowly, looked at Zifeng: "What do you... want to do?"

Zifeng stood on a high branch, as if looking down on the common people, but her eyes only stayed on Xia Yingchen, her wrinkled face stretched out like an ancient tree: "Do you want to save me?" Hezhou?"

Xia Yingchen said: "Save Hezhou?"

"It's not so much saving Hezhou as it is saving the entire Shenzhou," Zifeng said old and authentically. "On the fifth day of May, someone will use Xuzhou's spirit to split Hezhou. Once Hezhou is split, the entire Shenzhou will sink."

Xia Yingchen was moved: "Shenzhou Lu Chen?"

"That's right," Zifeng said, "The first emperor wanted to destroy not only the three mountains and ten continents overseas, but also the whole of Shenzhou. It's a pity that he lacked the essence of Xuzhou, which made his plan fall short. If Hezhou is destroyed, Shenzhou will be destroyed." Disintegrating into Kyushu, the ruins that had disappeared during the Great Desolation will appear, and all eight continents will sink, and the only one who can save everyone... is you."

Xia Yingchen said: "How do I know what you said is true?" She sneered: "How do you make me believe you again?"

Zifeng watched her from a height: "You don't have to believe it, but if you want to save Zhaowu, you can only do one thing."

Xia Yingchen said: "What's the matter?"

Zifeng said: "On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, come to Yushan." With a vertical leap, he jumped into the void.

With a flash of fire, a beam of sword light soared into the sky, like thunder that pierced the sky, and shot towards Zifeng.

It was Xia Yingchen who shot.

Xia Yingchen had flaming red wings on his back, and then borrowed the method of flying up to the sky, and approached Zifeng at an incredible speed.With a flash of thunder sword, the five-colored sword energy grabbed Zifeng's chest.

This sword is like a thunderbolt from the sky, swift and strong, just looking at it makes people shocked.

The huge jade tree suddenly opened its mouth wide, spit out a cloud of green air, and blocked Lei Jian in an instant.

There was a bang, and the green mass of air burst open.

Lei Jian also bounced back.

Xia Yingchen took Lei Jian back, his face changed slightly.This green vigor.It was actually the same as that used by Chu Jian at that time.

On the other side, there was another sword energy, drawing a gorgeous trajectory.It flashed directly behind Zifeng.Cut off with a sword.

It was Xiaoying who cut out the sword.

Xia Yingchen attacked head-on.The baby attacked from behind, and the cooperation between the mother and daughter was flawless.

But that mysterious and powerful green vigor.But it directly blocked Xia Yingchen.

With a little tiptoe, Zifeng took Xia Zhaowu to the sky, dodging Xiaoying's sword light, and at the same time let out a strange smile: "It's not enough, it's not enough! With your current abilities, you can't stop it at all. The 'Holy' of Golden Crow Valley...I'll be waiting for you at Yushan." The gray vortex circled around and dragged her and Xia Zhaowu into it at the same time.

The mysterious giant eucalyptus tree, like a mirage, turned into bubbles and disappeared like this.

Xia Yingchen landed on the top of the Arrow Tower, looked at the empty sky and the rising full moon, and fell silent for a while.

On the fifth day of May, Dragon Boat Festival and Chongwu Festival, men harm their fathers and women harm their mothers.

Why is it the fifth day of May again?

***

At the same time, Meiyuan.

The Tianmei Pavilion in Meiyuan was originally built extremely high. In the Tianmei Pavilion, half of the winged city can be overlooked through the glazed wall. It has always been a must for the young ladies of the rich families to hold banquets in the evening. At that time, when Xia Yingchen and Qingying Qiu Yuxiang first arrived in Youyi City, Chu Leying, on behalf of the Chu family, held a banquet here with Wen Lu.

The top of the Tianmei Pavilion is made of ice crystals that are far more expensive than glass. Those who hold a banquet in the Tianmei Pavilion to enjoy the flowers can look up at the stars and the moon.

At this moment, above the ice crystal, a beautiful woman was sitting on a strong man, staring dumbfounded at the huge jade tree that disappeared.

From this position, she saw with her own eyes how Xia Yingchen soared to the sky with fiery red wings, and how the mysterious tree spewed out a blue-winged air mass to block Xia Yingchen's amazing sword.

"Interesting, very interesting..." The beautiful woman stroked her chest and continued to rise and fall on the strong man.Although the strong man is physically strong, he couldn't support himself in the end. He had been struggling for two hours, and every time he was about to vent, there was always a mysterious air in his body, urging him to move him, even stronger than Chun The medicine is even more powerful. At the beginning, he thought that he was very strong today, and he was quite complacent. Later, he kept struggling and begging, but he couldn't get out from under the beautiful woman.

When the beautiful woman got up from him, he was foaming at the mouth and died from exhaustion.

The beautiful woman put on a light veil casually and stood there, looking at the Dragon Palace shrouded in the moonlight, giggling.

Originally, he wanted to come here to settle accounts with Hong Meng, but he did not expect to see such an interesting scene.

Wasn't it the one who blocked Princess Ningyun's shocking sword just now...

So even that person is still alive?

And what did the old woman mean by that last sentence?The "Holy" of Golden Crow Valley?What it is?

Fun, fun... so much fun! ! !

The sun has completely set, and the bright moon has risen to the sky. Unlike Nanyuan, among the mountains of Yushan, one feels that spring has not yet completely passed, and the spring is quite cold.

Liu Sang stepped out of the temporary bamboo pavilion and went outside, those Mohists were still searching for clues.

Everyone was disappointed when they found that the rock formation was just a bait, but time waited for no one, and they had to invest more manpower and material resources.

What if the spirit of Xuzhou still cannot be found in the end?

Liu Sang found that he couldn't answer either. Maybe the Mohist giant's judgment was wrong, and the collapse of Hezhou would not happen, and they were just working in vain.

But if it really happens, it must be a shocking tragedy. Such natural disasters are far more terrifying than wars. After all, wars can be solved by manpower. Once such natural disasters happen, manpower will be in front of them , is only equivalent to the ants shaking the tree.

Walking under the moon and looking up, there seems to be a moonlight shining on the mountains in the distance.

He immediately understood and avoided those bamboo pavilions.Jumping among the trees, he saw Mrs. Yue waiting there.

The two looked at each other, and soon hugged each other tightly.

After kissing intimately for a while, the two walked hand in hand.Walking in the shadow of the dense forest, the moonlight shines through the treetops. Although the night is cold and dewy, it is not romantic.

Madam Yue sighed softly, looked up at the moonlight, and said, "If Qingzhou and Xuzhou really split, what will happen here?"

really.Sister Yue also thought about this problem.

What if it really develops in the worst direction as predicted by Mohist giant Li Zhong.With the Yushan mountain range as the boundary, the Qingxu and Xuzhou states began to split apart, leaving aside other places, at least in Yushan.I'm afraid no one can survive.From this point of view.For example, the Huagong Court of Dayoumen, Dayou Sanying, She's Shuangxia, and the Ye family sisters, they were not from Hezhou in the first place, and they knew that they might be in danger.But still came here at the invitation of Mohism, the influence of Mohism can be seen.

As for Lin Long, Master Shihuo, etc., they have nothing to do. They live in Hezhou and their home is in Hezhou. If such a big event happens in Hezhou, they have nowhere to escape.

He smiled wryly, "I think it shouldn't be like that."

The two came to a slope. Liu Sang looked into the distance and sighed, "The fifth day of May...it's the fifth day of May again."

Madam Yue said, "What's wrong?"

Liu Sang said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just a little sensitive to this date." The fifth day of May was originally my wife's birthday, but at this time last year, he chased her to Juejizhou and into the Three Corpses Mountain. Thinking about it now , At that time, a lot of things really happened.

Holding Mrs. Yue's hand, he said: "Sister Yue, after this incident, come with me to Nanyuan, okay?"

Madam Yue looked at him tenderly: "Go to Nanyuan?"

Liu Sang said: "I will tell Yingchen and Zhaowu about you and me, I think they will understand."

"Really?" Madam Yue turned her gaze back to look at Yue in the sky.

"Sister Yue?" Liu Sang said.

"Hmm...just a little...embarrassed..." Madam Yue replied softly.

Liu Sang smiled happily...

***

In Ganyuan Hall, Xia Yingchen summoned Qiu Danyang, Ximen Chang, Wu Yigang and other important generals, and told them about the possible collapse of Hezhou without hiding anything. It was the first time I heard such a big event, and my face changed.

Xia Yingchen said indifferently: "My son-in-law has been invited by the master of Momen and Taoism Xuanguan to go to Yushan to deal with this matter. I have to go there too. I will ask a few people to help my father deal with all the matters in Nanyuan. , Me and the consort will hurry back as soon as possible."

In the evening, Ximen Chang, Wu Yigang and others had heard about the mysterious tree appearing in the Dragon Palace, so they were not surprised that Xia Yingchen went to Yushan.

"It's good for you to know about this matter, don't publicize it, and make the soldiers and civilians panic," Xia Yingchen said.He looked at Qiu Danyang again: "How to deal with the matter in the evening so that there will be no gossip?"

Qiu Danyang bowed and said: "This matter is very simple. There is such a big tree in Dragon Palace, green as jade. According to the pre-Qin Five Virtues, the east belongs to wood, and its color is blue, which is a sign of the purple cloud coming from the east. Tomorrow, Master Hou will offer sacrifices to the eastern sky, reward the three armies, set the flag as 'green', and treat this matter as auspicious."

Xia Yingchen praised secretly in his heart, Qiu Danyang really deserves to be a counselor invited by her husband three times, it's good that he can turn bad like this.

She nodded and explained the matter.

Leaving Ganyuan Hall, a person turned out in front, but it was Xuanyu Meihua.

Xuanyu Meihua said: "Sister, are you going to leave at dawn?"

Xia Yingchen nodded.

Xuanyu Meihua said: "I will go with my sister."

Xia Yingchen shook his head and said: "Using normal means, the time is too tight to get to Yushan from here. I plan to go with Xiaoying. With her flying sword, it will be much faster, but Xiaoying's Feijian can't carry two people." He sighed again, and said: "Besides, there is also a point of relying on my sister. Although Nanyuan's affairs have begun to go on the right track, there are still villains in the dark. My father is not good at martial arts. Xue, please also ask my sister to stay here and help me protect him."

Xuanyu Meihua pondered for a while, nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, you have to be careful yourself, sister."

Xia Yingchen said: "Yes."

Xuanyu Meihua said: "Have you thought about a question?"

Xia Yingchen said: "What's the problem?"

Xuanyu Meihua said: "Last year, the old palace lord asked Mrs. Yuchan to lure my sister to the Three Corpse Mountain on the fifth day of May. This year, she appeared in person, captured Zhao Wu, and forced her to go to Yushan...Why must it be the first day of May? five?"

Xia Yingchen looked into the distance: "I wish I could know." Then he smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, the fifth day of May is Yingchen's birthday."

Xuanyu Meihua was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't sort out the cause and effect.

Xia Yingchen returned to Xihe Palace and packed the packages. Luan'er, Xiaohuang, Daiyu, Baochai, etc. were all here. Although he was worried, he couldn't do anything.

It was almost dawn.Xia Yingchen held the baby by the hand.Just about to leave, a person called softly from a distance: "Sister Xia..."

Xia Yingchen turned around and saw the green shadow Qiu Yuxiang.

Qingying Qiu Yuxiang was thin and pale.She was already ill.I was with Xia Zhaowu last night.A big tree grows suddenly, Xia Zhaowu is captured, and she is also frightened.

See Xia Yingchen carrying a package on his back.Lifting a sword and holding Xiaoying by the hand, she whispered, "Sister Xia, are you really going to Yushan?"

Xia Yingchen nodded, and said: "You just stay here, and my husband and I will come back as soon as possible."

Qingying Qiu Yuxiang stared at her blankly, wanting to say something, but seemed not to know what to say.Xia Yingchen sighed softly and comforted her, and then let Xiaoying use the flying sword to carry her away.

Seeing the sword light fleeing from the sky, Qingying Qiu Yuxiang slowly fell to the ground...

***

The mechanism spaceship is moving slowly in the air.

Down below, many Mohists have scattered away, searching for clues everywhere. Although there are many Mohists, Yushan is really too big.

On the spaceship, Liu Sang, Madam Yue, Lin Long, Immortal Shihuo, Fairy Weiyue, Immortal Bishui, Hua Gongting, and the She Family Shuangxia gathered on the deck.

Ahead, sisters Ye Yinghu and Ye Yindie stood on the bow of the boat together, throwing down leaves in their hands. When the leaves fell, they flew up like butterflies and scattered in all directions, aiming at those inkmen. Difficult to find mountain crevices or drill in blind corners.

What's even more amazing is that in front of them, light and shadows changed like illusions, revealing the places where the leaves flew over.

Fairy Weiyue praised: "The Ye family's 'Qianye Huimeng' method is indeed amazing, these leaves seem to have eyes in their hands."

She Shengjing snorted softly: "Although the Ye family is famous for mystical arts, in the past few decades, they haven't produced many master-level masters."

She Xinxing said: "I don't remember any of them."

Everyone shook their heads helplessly... These two people are not only too arrogant, but also too straightforward. Although they have already advanced to the rank of Grandmaster and their skills are far higher than those of the sisters of the Ye family, why bother to say such words?

Ye Yindie turned her head back and said: "The so-called master and grand master are just the division of realms that have only appeared in the past 500 years. My Ye family's Taoism has been passed down from the pre-Qin period to the present. Judging from the current division of realms, my Ye family's thousands of years of cultivation Inheritance of Taoism, this is called the frog in the well."

Ye Yinghu sneered and said: "Sister, don't tell them this, their She family's exercises have always been practiced only by men, not by women, as if being a man is so amazing, if you have the ability, you will come up with one like Princess Ningyun." Like, a 20-year-old person who has cultivated to a master, and then laughs at the women in the world."

Liu Sang thought to herself, this elder sister is quite eloquent. She directly raised the She brothers' words and deeds to despise the Ye family's Taoism to the level of contempt for women in the world, and then picked up my wife and pressed them over. Overwhelming, if her Taoism is as good as her speech skills, it is at least at the level of a great master.

The two heroes of the She family kept silent, acting like a good man who doesn't fight with women.

Master Shihuo pondered: "Speaking of which, most of the exercises in the world today are developed on the basis of the Taoist Tianhuazi's theory that 'humans follow the earth, and the earth follows the sky', but now we know that Tianhua The real identity of Zi is actually Zhao Gao who was beside the first emperor, and the first emperor destroyed the law and destroyed the Dao, causing a huge gap in the martial arts, Zhao Gao is an important person around him, why did he use the name Tianhuazi to develop martial arts?"

Liu Sang sighed: "What's so hard to explain? When 'Tianhuazi' appeared, it had been more than 100 years since the collapse of the Great Qin Dynasty, the population began to recover, and the remnants of martial arts from the pre-Qin period were slowly being collected. If you don’t do it, everyone will study on their own, and martial arts will gradually begin to develop, and because everyone cultivates their own, although it is difficult at the beginning, it will eventually form a situation where a hundred flowers bloom, and further integrate, eliminate the clutter and preserve the essence. In the next two to three hundred years, it would not be surprising even if it returned to the pre-Qin period. The appearance of Tianhuazi seems to have brought everyone a shortcut in martial arts, but in fact it is a small path that is easy first and then difficult. Hold everyone's thoughts."

Continued: "Before that, everyone was groping their own way, and no one could see whether the front was bright or dark. However, although most people are going to a dead end, there will always be someone who embarks on the right path and brings great benefits to Xuanwu Erdao." Breakthroughs have been made again and again, but because of the "right way" brought by Tianhuazi, people can see clearly the "right way", so everyone gave up their previous groping and exploration that they didn't know whether they could succeed, and only brought it with Tianhuazi. However, this set of theories is actually not suitable for everyone, and although it is easy to learn, there will be strong resistance in the back. Zhao Gao is like using his own strength to restrain the world's martial arts. study."

As soon as he spoke, everyone was moved... This possibility is indeed extremely high.

Liu Sang knew in his heart that this was like "dismissing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" in his previous life, except that one was literary and the other was military.It cannot be said that it is absolutely useless to only respect Confucianism and bind the thoughts of the Chinese nation with the same theory. At least, it has brought a high degree of cohesion to the Chinese people. No matter how the war is fought, it will eventually return to unity, but from another On the one hand, its negative effects are also very obvious. Everyone has studied the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and spent a lifetime studying the classics and meanings, so that there has been no major development in various aspects such as arithmetic, alchemy, and medicine. During the Qing Dynasty, the way of Confucianism was getting worse and worse. Everyone could write stereotyped essays, but they knew nothing about Gewu.

Tianhuazi's theory of "people follow the earth, and the earth follows the sky" was put forward just in the darkest period of martial arts, which brought the only light to people, but objectively, it also restrained the essence of martial arts. Development, just like Xiaomei, Xiaotian, Xiaxia and other children, all embarked on this path from the beginning. Xiaomei and Xiaotian are talented and smart, and they walk very well on this path, but Xiaxia is They are still inferior to them, but Xia Xia's talent is really not good enough?When Liu Sang took her to transfer Yili and spells, didn't she also improve by leaps and bounds?

Therefore, it's not that Xia Xia's talent is not enough, it's just that the current way of martial arts is not suitable for everyone.
