The Demon Soul is Coming

Hezhou, Baifeng Kingdom, Youyi City.

Xia Yingchen sat on the throne, while Qiu Danyang, Youyou, Ximen Chang, He Xiang and other important people knelt on the seats.

Qiu Danyang said: "Princess, I don't know what happened recently. The sea is flowing westward, and the sea level is still falling. Affected by the tsunami, our navy suffered heavy losses. The warship led by General Zhao Wugeng was stranded in a large area and was unable to fight. .”

Xia Yingchen said: "The sea is flowing westward? Can you find the reason?"

Qiu Danyang said: "The reason is still unknown."

Xia Yingchen looked at Youyou.Youyou shook his head and said: "In other continents, there are various news from the eyeliner. It seems that there are many land subsidences in Chuzhou, Yangliang, Dongyong, Yuzhou and other places, and the sea water poured in, but the reason is unknown."

Ximen Chang and others looked at each other in blank dismay, the land subsidence in Chuzhou, Yangliang, and Dongyong would affect Hezhou, how alarming is this subsidence?

Xia Yingchen said indifferently: "Do you think this is a natural disaster or man-made?"

Youyou hesitated and said: "If you talk about human effort, it's really unbelievable to be able to achieve such a level, but since the Kyushu collapsed hundreds of years ago, nothing seems impossible."

Xia Yingchen said: "Continue to send out spies to find out how many subsidences there are and where they are located."

Worryingly said: "Yes."

Qiu Danyang said: "Besides, Lord Zhiyu presented the surrender form..."

Xia Yingchen said: "No."

Qiu Danyang said: "This..."

Xia Yingchen said: "Could it be better to be sure?"

Qiu Danyang said: "Grand Zhiyu used to be the prince with the most hope of unifying Hezhou, but now he has nowhere to go. If we are forced to surrender, if we can accommodate him, it will just set an example for other princes and offset the death of the eldest prince." Negative effect, let the princes know..."

Xia Yingchen said: "Okay, sure."

Qiu Danyang: "..." As an aide, it is indeed an honor for the princess to listen to his plans, but as the master, she makes decisions so casually.It can even be said that the order is changed day by day.It's actually a headache.

Xia Yingchen supported the handle with one hand, supporting her beautiful cheek: "Where is the son-in-law?"

Youyou said: "Recently, the rumors about the 'Fengyue Heroes' are probably my father and my aunt. According to this itinerary, they have at least reached the west of Yuzhou. Maybe they have already entered Dongyong or Yangliang."

The generals thought.Although the princess is amazing in strength, she is too casual. It would be nice if the concubine was here.

Xia Yingchen, however, sighed lightly: "Tell me. What's going on here? The son-in-law went to Juejizhou, Fusang sect was destroyed, the son-in-law arrived in Yangzhou, the Qin army returned, the son-in-law returned to Hezhou, Yushan collapsed, and the son-in-law went to Yangzhou. Go to the west...why is the land in the west sinking?"

The generals: "..." Sure enough... Wouldn't it be better if the son-in-law didn't come back?

Youyou suddenly pressed her temples, feeling a little headache.

Xia Yingchen took a look at her, and said calmly: "If there is nothing wrong, everyone will leave."

After Qiu Danyang and the other generals retreated, Xia Yingchen looked at the girl under the steps, and said lightly, "My husband used the star guide to call you and the little baby from the star world to the mortal world?"

Youyou said in a low voice: "Yes."

Xia Yingchen said: "Your current divine power is still too weak to support you and the dark goddess to live at the same time. The dark goddess in the star world was originally created with the spirit of witch spirits. It's not a big problem. You here are just You have a mortal body, and you have to manage a lot of affairs, so it's inevitable that you will have a splitting headache... Didn't you tell your father about this?"

Youyou said: "I won't tell him, if I tell, he won't use Xingyin to call me out to help him again."

"Really?" Xia Yingchen said slowly, "What did he call you and Xiaoying this time?"

……

***

The so-called "grey world" has no sky and no earth, no yin and no yang, and it is in the emptiness and loneliness, outside the vastness and turbidity.

Before the heaven and the earth were born, there was a vast space, vast and unprovoked, ignorant and unmatched, the space was formless, lonely and silent, the heaven and the earth lived in it, and it was born, but there was still a large piece of emptiness, which was called the "grey world", that is, outside of good fortune.

Beyond the heavens and the earth, in the gray world, there are five mysterious small worlds, faintly arranged in a five-element formation, wrapped in confusion, if someone can see from a very far away, they will find these five small worlds, One is extremely bright, one is extremely dark, and the other three have three lights, that is, the sun, the moon, and the stars.

These five small worlds have been in the gray world for an unknown period of time. On this day, they suddenly circulated and turned into balls of primordial energy, like a vortex, approaching each other, merging, and turning into a new world.

This world is called "Witch Spirit".

At the same time, among the forests in Dongyongzhou, Liu Sang, the dark goddess, and Xiaoying looked at a brand new thing together.

It was a stone.

A spirit stone with five colors of light.

The dark celestial girl was surprised and said: "The rising sun lamp, the dark moon crystal, the map of stars, the light Shang pearl, the quiet night pearl, the combination of the three treasures and two pearls turned out to be a stone?"

Liu Sang said: "This, is it the legendary 'five-color stone'?" He also said: "The three treasures and two beads have been combined, so I don't know if the Taiyi Realm, Moon Spirit Realm, Star Realm, Guangshang Realm, and You Ye Realm are also It has been restored to the ancient 'Witch Spirit World', you stay here first, I'll go and have a look."

The dark goddess said: "Daddy, you send me back first, and let my sister stay here."

Liu Sang said: "You and Xiaoying were both created after the Wuling World was split up. I don't know if it will be dangerous to return to the Wuling World..."

The dark goddess said: "I think there is little possibility of danger. Xuanyao divided the Wuling world into five realms in order to allow each sect of the Yin-Yang family to create their own gods and saints in the conflict and confrontation with each other, and finally create for her. So, if all the 'gods' and 'holys' created in the Wuling world disappear, wouldn't her hard work be in vain?"

Liu Sang said: "I'm afraid she did something else."

The dark goddess said: "No matter what, my daughter has to give it a try." Then said: "Daddy, don't worry, there will be no problems."

Liu Sang had no choice but to use "star guide" to let her go back, and let Xiaoying stay here after the dark goddess disappeared.He picked up the five-color stone and recited the mantra. Soon, he fell down, his body remained in the world, and his soul entered the world of witches and spirits.

Once entering the Wuling Realm, the first thing I felt was an indescribable shock. There was a day and a month in the sky, and the surrounding mountains and rivers loomed.These mountains and rivers are composed of lines.And yet it's almost miraculously beautiful.In the distance is a white jade city, and there are many viburnum flowers and auspicious grasses around it, whether it is a city or a flower.It's there though.But it's not real.It's like a dream.

Ignoring the admiration of these indescribable beauties, he looked around first.

"Daddy, I'm here!" The voice of the dark goddess sounded behind him.

He turned around.He saw that the dark celestial girl was no longer naked, but was wearing celestial maiden clothes and landed in front of him.

Seeing that she is safe and sound, and has not melted due to the fusion of Taiyi, Yueling and other realms, he is naturally relieved.

Leading the Dark Heavenly Maiden, the two of them flew between the vast sky and the earth. Meteors fell from between the sun and the moon, drawing beautiful light and shadows around them.They flew into Baiyu City, and in Baiyu City, it was also magnificent, blossoming flower buds, burning like a dream, where the sun and moonlight intersected, as if there were auspicious beasts running inside, or swim.The falling meteors turned into cranes, flew in rows, and soared into the sky again. In the distant sky, waterfalls rolled down like a galaxy, vast and spectacular.

They continued to fly far away, bypassing the Milky Way Falls, and still couldn't fly to the end, and the magnificence of the mountains and rivers was jaw-dropping.

The dark goddess said in disbelief: "This is the Wuling world?"

Liu Sang said: "If Emperor Fuxi really created the Wuling Realm as a 'heaven realm', it would not be so unusual to have this scale."

The dark goddess pointed to the front: "That mountain is so big!"

In front, there is a big mountain, as if standing up to the sky, and there are two big characters written on the cliff, even with Liu Sang's knowledge, he can't recognize it.

The dark goddess suddenly said: "That is Buzhou Mountain."

"Buzhou Mountain?" Liu Sang asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

The dark goddess whispered: "Mother said... Youyou is by Mother's side." Then said: "Mother let us fly up."

Liu Sang thought in his heart: "Buzhou Mountain? Why is it a name he has heard in his previous life?" Holding the dark goddess, he flew to a high place.

They flew higher and higher, and flew between the sun and the moon. The sun here is like a burning firebird. Just getting close to it makes people feel like it is about to melt. The moon here is like an ice crystal. The mirror, reflecting their figures inside, is as beautiful as a painting.

They continued to fly high, crossing the sun and the moon. On top of them, it seemed like an impenetrable barrier. However, when they flew into the barrier, it was like breaking through the water. The surrounding scene changed, and they were in a bronze palace. In front of the hall, the censer in front of the hall was auspicious, full of precious energy, and they flew into the hall. This hall was not as magnificent as the sun-filled world they were in just now, but it was more solemn.

Liu Sang said: "What is this place?" He knew that the dark celestial girl had a spiritual connection with Youyou in the world. Therefore, asking her is tantamount to asking Emperor Wa.

But the dark goddess said: "Mother said something is wrong."

Liu Sang said, "No?"

The dark celestial girl said: "Mother, let us continue to fly up, let's take a look and talk about it."

Although Liu Sang was puzzled, he still flew up with her, but when he flew straight to the top, what he saw was the wind and karma, and he couldn't fly out.They flew down again, returned to the world with the sun and the moon, and continued down, and finally saw the same water and fire.

They continued to return to the bronze hall, and the dark goddess said: "Mother said, this 'Witch Spirit World' is incomplete."

Liu Sang said: "Incomplete?"

The dark goddess said: "My mother said that the earliest witch spirit world was originally created as a heavenly court, and it was divided into three realms. This is the 'Tai Su Tian', where the god 'Nu Wa' was created. The place where the sun has the moon is called 'Taiyi Heaven', and Emperor Fuxi often entered it to deduce the hexagrams with the furnace of heaven and earth in Baiyu City, but between Taisu Heaven and Taiyi Heaven, there should be another Taichu Heaven, It is the place where the five gods of Zhurong, Gonggong, Rushou, Jumang, and Houtu lived. In the earliest design of Emperor Fuxi, the god "Nuwa" was high above, commanding the five gods of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five gods. The Taichu Heaven in the middle and the Taiyi Heaven at the bottom are used to accept the heroes worshiped by the people in the future and make them gods and generals. Obey the five gods, restrain the world with the "rules of heaven", and enjoy the incense of the world at the same time. But now, the Heaven of Absolute Beginning has disappeared."

"There is such a thing?" Liu Sang pondered, "I don't know if Yao Ji hid for a day, or the Wuling world she got the first time was incomplete?"

The dark goddess waited for a while, and then said: "My mother said, the Wuling world that Xuanyao got is probably like this."

Liu Sangsi asked: "Where do you think the Heaven of Taichu will be?"

The dark goddess said: "Who knows? After Fuxi's death, the witch spirit world was managed by those witches, creating a mess of gods and spirits. What we see now is just the broken and reorganized witch spirit world. But in During the Great Desolation Period. It has long been broken into disrepair. Anything is possible, and the Heaven of Absolute Beginning has already been destroyed, and it is also possible."

Liu Sang said, "That's it."

The two walked here together for a while.Then, Liu Sang left the dark goddess here to continue her research, and returned to the world by herself.

After returning, first send Xiaoying back to the Wuling Realm, put away the five-color stone, leave the forest, go to the town outside the forest, and see Gui Yuanyuan and Qianqian.

Gui Yuanyuan said: "Husband, where have you been?"

Liu Sang smiled: "Turn around casually." If she was told about the Wuling world, she would definitely tear down the five-color stone and try to study it thoroughly.

***

Unlike Hezhou, many places in Dongyongzhou are Gobi and deserts. The Kongsang Kingdom does not occupy the entire Dongyongzhou. There are many barren places where sand bandits are rampant.

Like Yuzhou, there are also many temples dedicated to the Yellow Emperor on Dongyongzhou, and the three holy places on Dongyongzhou are also more or less connected with the Yellow Emperor in legend.

On this day, Liu Sang, Yuanyuan, and Qianqian finally came to a town near the Citan.

The entire Altar of Compassion was originally a round mountain with a radius of twenty or thirty li, surrounded by city walls made of large stones. Although these walls are now collapsing or collapsing, it can be seen how prosperous the Altar of Mercy was back then. for a while.

Fang Zi entered the town, and on the other side, a group of luxurious chariots and horses passed by, surrounded by people in white robes, similar to alchemists or Taoist priests, with clouds embroidered on the robes. Their attire is completely different from that of the surrounding people.And those common people, although very hostile, did not dare to provoke them, but someone whispered: "But as soon as Miss Qing came back, people from the Yan family came to ask for someone, these guys..."

While speaking, a young man rushed out drunkenly, blocking the carriages and horses.

Those white-robed people rushed forward, and someone inside shouted: "Who is it?"

The young man shouted: "You people from the Yan family, go back to Kunwu Mountain."

Some of the crowd watching whispered: "This person is..."

Another person said: "You don't even recognize him? This is the son of Ju Qianqiu from the Ju family."

The people were talking quietly there, and Liu Sang listened to it.

Before coming to the Citan, he had already inquired clearly about some things here. In the Citan, under the Qiu family, there are three families, namely Yiqi, Ju, and Cai. These three families used to be affiliated to the Qiu family. A retainer of the Qiu family.

Wen Yushu, Citan, and Kunwu Mountain each have a dance of witchcraft. Unlike Wenyu and Kunwu, the Citan's Heavenly Man Husband Dance does not necessarily have to be performed by the Qiu family, but the heavenly Only the members of the Qiu family can take out the great compassion Tianshui needed for Husband Dance, thus forming a hierarchical system in which the Qiu family is superior and the Yiyao, Ju, and Cai families are attached to the Qiu family. The man took out the Great Compassion Tianshui, and Yiyao, Ju, and Cai's family, as the retainers of the Qiu family, used the Great Compassion Tianshui to perform the heavenly man's husband dance, exorcising evil spirits for the people, and eliminating demons and monsters. Dongyong Island also has a considerable status.

However, now, the Qiu family has not been able to take out the Great Compassion Tianshui for several generations, and the status of the Yiyi, Ju, and Cai families has also plummeted.

In contrast, although the Yan family in Kunwu Mountain is not as good as before, the "Purple Gold Magic Dust Dance" passed down in his family has not been cut off, but with the thinning of the blood, the power is not as good as before, but it is worse than the one without the Great Mercy Tianshui. It is simply impossible to use the altar of mercy danced by the husband of heaven and man.In addition, the Citan Qiu family is not prosperous, and this generation has only one daughter and no males, while the Yan family is good at making money. The aristocrats have a good relationship, but the territory gradually expands.

At this time, the marriage between Kunwu Mountain and the Citan is to take advantage of the decline of the Qiu family and merge the entire Citan into the territory of Kunwu Mountain. The amalgamation of the Holy Land restores the family's decline and makes every effort to facilitate this matter.Keqing's mother, Qiu Fengshi, opposed it with all her strength, but her "daughter" was old enough to get married. In addition, many princes and princes of status came to propose marriage, and many people inside agreed. Finally, under pressure, she reluctantly agreed. It's just the day of getting married, but Keqing escaped from marriage.

But once Qing fled, all the responsibilities fell on Qiu Fengshi, and there were many sarcastic remarks in the charity altar.Qiu Keqing naturally knew that her escape made her mother's life in Citan even more difficult, and she was worried when she heard that her mother was seriously ill. In addition, in order to get the Yanjian, she wanted to come back quietly, but the Yan family had already colluded with Zhutiantang , had a clear grasp of her whereabouts, and when she came back, she was discovered, and the Yan family also took advantage of the opportunity to come to ask for someone.

At this moment, it was Ju Qianqiu, the son of the Ju family, who stopped the carriages and horses.

Ju Qianqiu obviously drank a lot of wine, and with the smell of alcohol, he stood in the middle of the road.

But a loud laugh came from the carriage: "Isn't this Brother Ju?" A young man got out of the carriage with a woman.

Ju Qianqiu stared over, and recognized the young man as Wang Yuan from the Linshui Wang family, and the one who got off the car with him was Wang Yuan's mother, Yan Xueyi, younger sister of Yanjiao, the head of the Yan family in Kunwu Mountain.

The Linshui Wang family is also a well-known aristocratic family in Kongsang Kingdom. Yan Xueyi's husband, Wang Guoliang, is a hereditary Linshui doctor, and his family's "Qiangang Dachangfa" is also well-known in Dongyong.

Yan Xueyi said indifferently: "Yuan'er, do you recognize this person?"
