Chapter 308 Auspicious Omens in the Western Regions, the Legend Begins (asking for monthly tickets)
The Nine Cauldrons roared in a low voice, and Li Guanyi's eyes moved slightly, as if he had noticed something.

He looked forward.

Looking down at the land of the Western Region from a high place, the scenery is magnificent, with many highlands. Large tracts of red and yellow land are dotted with oases and lakes like pearls, which is extremely gorgeous. However, the Nine Cauldrons only whistled once and then had no response.

Li Guanyi was puzzled and clenched his fists.

He could feel that being so far away from Jiangnan, the blessing from the Nine Cauldrons of Jiangnan had dissipated, and his own strength had fallen back to the normal level of the sixth heaven.

You have to fight against the Wolf King Regent who has an army capable of destroying a country.

This kind of power is probably not enough.

Li Guanyi was thinking.

Changsun Wuchou had been quiet and worried all the way. At this moment, looking down from above, he saw the familiar terrain and was shocked. He thought that he had arrived here in just a moment after traveling thousands of miles. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

The ancient red dragon looked into the distance and suddenly said:

"Li Guanyi, where are you going to go?"

"Kanaspur Lake."

Li Guanyi said the name of a lake in the Western Region language. The ancient red dragon nodded and said, "Hold on tight." Accompanied by a low and murderous dragon roar, the ancient red dragon led the people from the Tiance Mansion in Jiangnan to climb and swim in the clouds of the Western Region.

The flying speed of the ancient red dragon increased significantly, and everyone made panicked noises.

Kanaspur Lake, the Western Region Desert, grasslands, plateaus and other terrains overlap each other, which is extremely complex. The various peoples here settle around oases and water sources, and this lake is one of them.

Miss Xue Shuangtao had told Li Guanyi before that the land she bought in advance was right next to the lake. The title deed was now in Li Guanyi's arms. A simple strategy -

After a group discussion in Tian Ce Mansion, they all agreed that the situation in the Western Regions was complicated and that contacting Li Zhaowen hastily might lead to something bad happening. Among them, Zhangsun Wuchou also said after hesitation that there seemed to be some rift in the relationship between the Duke and Li Zhaowen.

It seemed that because Li Zhaowen was too outstanding, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion was somewhat overshadowed and found it difficult to convince the public.

This Duke's Mansion also has a lot of troubles.

Besides, Li Guanyi was a vassal prince, and it was impossible for Qin Wuhou to be inferior to him.

Li Guanyi went to the Western Regions to form an alliance with Li Zhaowen, not to surrender.

Need to have your own territory.

First, gain a foothold in the territory prepared in advance by the eldest lady Xue Shuangtao, and then send Nangong Wumeng and Changsun Wuchou to choose a direction respectively to go out, and contact [Li Zhaowen] and [Qibi Li] before and after.

By the time the Tiele tribe's golden scimitar cavalry arrived, Li Guanyi already had troops under his command.

That was the right time for an alliance.

Only at that time could Li Guanyi help Li Zhaowen and avoid being held hostage by Li Zhaowen's father and brother. Li Guanyi trusted Li Zhaowen, but had no friendship with Li Zhaowen's father and brother.

But we cannot let him and Li Zhaowen fall into a passive position.

Li Guanyi thought about what Wen Lingjun said about the general situation in the Western Regions: "The Western Regions are in chaos now. Tuyuhun and Dangxiang have tried to destroy the country twice. The remnants of the original thirty-six tribes have revived, and the people are living in misery. At this moment, without military force, it is difficult to move forward."

"But it's also good."

"The thirty-six tribes live by the water, and most of them are skilled in archery and horsemanship. It is much easier to hire some wandering cavalry with gold and silver than in the Central Plains. However, the Western Regions at this moment are not much different from the Sand Bandits in terms of ease of hiring them."

"Therefore, I suggest that you take Fan Qing with you."

Li Guanyi exhaled, pressed his fingers between his eyebrows, and said to himself:

"Use gold and silver to recruit cavalry from various tribes in the Western Regions, and then unite with Qibili's Golden Scimitar Cavalry. Once you have 5,000 cavalry, train them a little bit. When you are sure they can be transformed into an army, then contact the great... senior and Mr. Siming."

"Demon Sect..."

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes and looked at the land of the Western Regions.

Fight alone?

Experts passing the level?

Following the momentum of the Qilin Army and Tiance Mansion.

It is necessary to use Gongshu Ban's crossbow mechanism to wash it for three to five rounds, and then the cavalry will form a formation and sweep it across several times, and then it will be over. Li Guanyi is not a man of the world. The heroes of the world have their own ways to solve the problem.

But I don't follow your rules of the underworld.

Moreover, Li Guanyi had another thought in his mind.

"The Nine Tiele Clans have more than 10,000 people. I wonder if I can use the power of the Nine Tiele Clans to cast a small tripod first. It doesn't need to be as powerful as the Nine Tripods, but it can temper the destiny of humanity a little bit."

"Then we can directly raid the Demon Sect's lair."

"However, this requires the Nine Cauldrons to unlock a new divine charm. I wonder if the one-ninth that has been unlocked can be used again..."

Li Guanyi sighed.

"Probably not."

"Putting nine ninths of the Nine Cauldrons together will automatically make a complete Nine Cauldrons, right?"

"He is truly a Crouching Dragon and a Phoenix."

However, the universe is full of wisdom and strategies, and it is not the case that everything will go smoothly just because you have made strategic preparations.

Li Guanyi quickly realized this.

The Nine Cauldrons emitted a clear sound once again.

Then, after thirty-three breaths, there was another explosion.

The frequency is faster than before!
Is there something approaching?
Yaoguang, who was originally watching the flowing sea of ​​clouds, suddenly woke up and turned to look in one direction. Her eyes immediately focused. Li Guanyi put his left hand on Yaoguang's shoulder and stretched out his right hand, with his five fingers slowly clenched.

The smile in the ancient red dragon's voice faded, and his voice was as desolate as thunder:
"Li Guanyi, now that he's away from Jiangnan, how many tricks do you still have?"

Li Guanyi's forehead was sweaty. He lowered his eyes and saw a white jade rising from his waist. He smiled and said, "...I will not let you down, Senior."

He paused and said, "Senior Zhu."

"This noise, could it be that..."

boom! ! ! !

The body of the ancient red dragon suddenly rose high, and the wind and clouds gathered and surged. The silver-haired girl sitting on the dragon's head bounced one foot high on the spot, and then landed steadily on the top of the red dragon with a click.

Li Guan raised his hand to hold down Yaoguang's silver hair to prevent the girl from being bounced up a second time due to the bumps. Almost instinctively, he grabbed with his right hand, spun around, and raised his hair slightly. His movements were calm and domineering, and golden light gushed out, transforming into a dark golden halberd.

Then he clenched his fist suddenly, and the roar of a tiger was low and domineering, sweeping across suddenly.

Only half of the handle of the halberd was visible at this moment. When Li Guanyi twisted his body at this moment, the handle of the halberd formed a shocking arc, and one could see the power applied to this move.

Finally, the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd appeared completely, accompanied by the tiger's roar. The golden light gathered in front and turned into a grim halberd tip. The blade suddenly swept out -

【Rolling Waves】!!!
The once decisive killing method is now just Li Guanyi's opening move.

Rays of brilliant light swept through and turned into whirlpools, drawing the remaining energy into them. Li Guanyi was absolutely certain that his move had hit something. The recoil force made his palms numb. He looked into the void.

Changsun Wuchou and others were made dizzy by the acceleration of the red dragon.

"My Lord, what is this?!?!"

Li Guanyi shouted, "Get down!"

He stared straight ahead.

Large patches of clouds had gathered around the Ancient Red Dragon at some point. It was already dusk, but the sky was still filled with a bright and warm light. The Ancient Red Dragon grinned and said in a deep voice:
"Kid, maybe you shouldn't come with me..."

"That's good, I'm so lucky."

“That’s not good.”

Li Guanyi sensed the roar of the Nine Cauldrons and said:

"Is it the opponent from eight hundred years ago that you mentioned, Senior?"

The ancient red dragon said: "Yes."

There was a clear sound, and the brilliant light was flowing in the sky, as if there were ribbons rolling. Yaoguang's eyes were quiet. Nangong Wumeng was shaken and dizzy, but he still subconsciously murmured: "It's so beautiful..."

Beautiful indeed.

The huge brilliance is like the sunset, forming nine colors, layer upon layer.

Shrouded by a huge, gorgeous, sacred deer.

The deer was as huge as a mountain.

The gorgeous antlers reach up to the sky.

Li Guanyi murmured: "Legend of the Western Regions, the Nine-Colored Divine Deer."

However, at this moment, this auspicious beast seemed to be leaping in the sky with anger, as if the entire sunset was turned upside down, as if the beautiful landforms of the Western Regions rose to the sky and fell towards this side.

Li Guanyi raised his hands and directly grasped the Fierce Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd with both hands. He used all his sixth-level internal Qi and martial arts to burst out. He swung the extremely heavy Fierce Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd so hard that no water could penetrate it. He said:
"Senior, may I ask what our friendship was like eight hundred years ago?"

The ancient red dragon replied:
"Eight hundred years ago, I wanted to swallow her, but failed."

Li Guanyi: “…………”

The ancient red dragon laughed like thunder and said, "It's just a joke."

"At that time, my old friend and I were fighting against the Overlord in the world. I saw him practicing in seclusion here, and wanted to pull him into the Red Emperor's coalition. I don't know why he had a bad temper at that time, so he provoked me. In the end, we were very unhappy and had some conflicts with each other."

"I came here this time thinking I could resolve this grudge, but it seems that He has never forgotten it in the past eight hundred years."

Li Guanyi smiled bitterly: "I was tricked by you, senior."

The ancient red dragon laughed.

Amid the dragon's roar, the Nine-Colored Divine Deer came from the sky and fought with the Red Dragon. Although it was obviously no match for the Red Dragon, it still refused to give in: "Why did the divine dragon from the Central Plains come here?"

The ancient red dragon said in a desolate voice: "It's just to help a junior."

"I hope you can live for 800 years."

Li Guanyi: “………………”

"Senior, you have never asked anyone for help, right?"

The ancient red dragon said disdainfully: "I don't need it."

There was a trace of ripples in the beautiful eyes of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer.

After the ancient red dragon, the words "I will give you the destiny of humanity" were not uttered before the beautiful nine-colored divine deer rushed over with an incredible temper, with a clear and beautiful voice: "If you want to fight with me, don't involve these human beings."

"Put them down, and I'll fight you again!"

Li Guanyi held the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd and took the initiative to speak: "This... Divine Deer, is not what Senior Red Dragon said..." The beautiful Divine Deer lowered his eyes and saw the divine weapon in Li Guanyi's hand, and said seriously:
"Five hundred years ago, it was your predecessor who shot through the holy mountain where I live?"

Li Guanyi fell silent.

Five hundred years ago? Shoot through the Holy Mountain.

The god Xue conquered Tianshan with three arrows.

The arrow pierced through more than 300 miles, piercing the sacred mountain of the Dangxiang State, leaving behind a legend that has lasted to this day. Today, when the people of the Western Regions look up and see the hole on the sacred mountain that looks like it was pierced by a giant dragon, they will kneel down devoutly and say:

[Arun Urhariwa Bode Sadawa].

It means the arrow of the Bodhisattva of the Central Plains that pierced the holy mountain. The heroes of the world and the gods galloped across the world, and the great wishes and ambitions of the heroes collided. Even the spiritual creatures that existed between heaven and earth in the ancient times had to give in under such lofty ambitions and such courage.

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer and the Ancient Red Dragon were fighting each other. The Ancient Red Dragon laughed and said, "The Western Region is so big. Besides this auspicious sign, there are also gray wolves. Boy, the place you mentioned is almost here. Get ready to go down!"

At that time, the ancient red dragon flew over the land. The sky had already darkened. In the city, there were bright lights. It was a city. The ancient red dragon was no longer the murderous man it was eight hundred years ago. It had never really fought with the Nine-Colored Divine Deer.

When it swam, the aura of the ancient red dragon collided with the light of the nine-colored divine deer.

The roar was like endless thunder.

The fight between these giants was like the collision of two mountains, and the stream of light emitted was quite large. However, auspicious beasts like the Nine-Colored Divine Deer were not good at fighting, so the aftermath was only at the grandmaster level.

But the ancient red dragon seemed quite happy.

Li Guanyi and other people from Tiance Mansion were on the dragon's back, bouncing along with the ups and downs of the dragon's body.

Instead, I have some stomachache.

Li Guanyi swung the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in his hand and suddenly split the falling light.

The nine-colored light was warm, and when it fell, it did not turn into an attack. Instead, it passed by the people in Tiance Mansion like smoke. Nangong Wumeng, who had been a little pale due to the violent shaking, suddenly did not feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Shi Dalin's eyes lit up and he shouted, "The Nine-Colored Divine Deer Huaguang, the legend recorded in the mural "Deer King's Birth Story" in the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves of the Western Regions, can cure all diseases, and it was a treasure that once caused disputes among the kings of the ancient Western Regions?!"

“It can be used as medicine!”

“It can be used as medicine!”

Xu Tiange had already fainted from the high-speed flight. He tightly grasped the arm of Pan Wanxiu of the Mo family. His eyes had lost focus. Before he fainted, he just clenched his fists and shouted three times: "Farming, farming!"

"I want to farm!"

Li Guanyi's pupils contracted.

The sound of the bronze tripod whistled in my ears.

In his body, on the bronze cauldron that was one-ninth lit up by the ancient red dragon, a new stream of light appeared. The light of the nine-colored divine deer fell into the cauldron and faintly turned into strands of jade liquid.

When Li Guanyi was distracted, the Nine-Colored Divine Deer and the Ancient Red Dragon were fighting. The aftermath was turbulent and swept past Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi regained consciousness, stood on top of the dragon's head, and said, "Senior, please send the others down first."

The ancient red dragon let out a long roar, and a gust of wind swept everyone from the Tiance Mansion away.

Yaoguang just sat there quietly.

The girl formed a formation with her hands, so Li Guanyi could stand more steadily and no longer be affected by the strong wind. Li Guanyi waved the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd, splitting, cutting, and smashing the falling nine-colored lights one by one, and the Jiuzhou Ding naturally swallowed them.

"???!"

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer looked at Li Guanyi, and seemed to have noticed this change. The Ancient Red Dragon said, "I never lied. How about that?"

"You have sensed the difference, right? Although you are a divine beast from the Western Regions, Duke Taiping had a Qilin, but it was inevitably destroyed, and the overlord's white tiger also died in the battle. Besides, you are not a divine beast that fights."

"Even a beast like you, surrounded by an army of human soldiers, would not be able to escape unscathed."

The huge and gorgeous nine-colored divine deer looked at Li Guanyi and said:

"King of the Central Plains, what are you doing here?"

"The wolf king of the Central Plains has torn the land of the Western Regions apart, leaving the people of various tribes homeless. The people of the Tanguts have also gone mad. Is the young king of the Central Plains coming here to mobilize troops, conquer the land here, and enslave the people here?"

Li Guanyi replied: “No.”

Li Guanyi held the halberd and said:

"The world is one country, and the various tribes in the Western Regions can also be integrated into the world."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer witnessed with his own eyes the chaos in the Western Regions over the past few hundred years. He saw the Third Prince of Tiele, who was known as the Blue Wolf from the Sky, being easily killed by the Divine General Xue. He also saw the Tuyuhun tribes being conquered and the blood flowing like a river three hundred years ago. He also saw the Regent massacring a city.

He simply replied, "A ridiculous dream."

Li Guanyi opened his mouth loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the dragon's roar.

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer suddenly said, "This fight is not pleasant."

"The divine dragon of the Central Plains, we haven't seen it for eight hundred years."

"Let's go fight in an empty place where there are no living creatures."

The ancient red dragon roared continuously. Li Guanyi and Yaoguang were lifted up by a gust of wind and put down. The dragon roared and said, "I will not participate in the fights in the human world. Li Guanyi, after this battle with this 'old friend', I will return to the secret realm."

"I will take care of all the storms in Jiangnan for you."

"See you someday!"

The ancient red dragon roared, and the golden-red flames dyed the sky a fiery color. The Nine-Colored Divine Deer also fought and left with the ancient red dragon. Li Guanyi fell from the air and took a glance, only to see the little Qilin being caught in the aftermath, quite far away from here.

Li Guanyi saw the silver-haired girl falling from the air.

The sky had become completely dark, the moonlight was bright, and the stars were shining, enveloping the entire night sky in a clear and tranquil glow.

The astrologer's robe swayed slightly in the wind, making the girl's fingers look very small and cute. Her silver hair was flying, and she fell lightly from the sky, beautiful and cool.

The girl was silent and lowered her head to look down.

The silver-haired girl's face turned pale.

Li Guan thought of the girl climbing over the wall, turning around when she went down to the corner, with her right foot on the wall and her left foot raised, trying to move downwards again and again, and he suddenly realized something.

'Yaoguang, are you afraid of heights?'

Li Guanyi turned his body in the air, the dragon roared again, and the red dragon image appeared.

Li Guanyi flew towards Yaoguang in the air and grabbed the girl's hand with one hand. The silver-haired girl looked up at him.

The hand that was grabbed by Li Guanyi grabbed Li Guanyi in turn.

Her fingers were white and slender, tightly clasping Li Guanyi's sleeves. Her lips were pursed and tightly pressed together, and there was still no expression on her face. Her voice was clear and peaceful: "Please hold me."

"I'm a little scared."

Only when she said this, there was a slight tremor in the girl's voice, which was as peaceful as flowing water.

Li Guanyi grabbed Yaoguang's hand, and the two of them fell from the sky.

The young man pulled hard, and the girl who had fallen with him was pulled into his arms. Li Guanyi hugged Yaoguang with one hand and held the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd with the other. It was too late to call Qilin at this moment, and Qilin had a look of fullness on his face.

Li Guanyi's internal energy surrounded his body and he exhaled.

Already fallen.

..............................

Saatanti and his tribe stayed in a corner of the lake. Kanaspur Lake was clear and quiet at night. It did not have the gem-like tranquility during the day, but had a dark, life-devouring feeling.

Saatanti pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable as he looked at his grandma who was hugging him. Their tribe was not big, with only about 1,800 people, some cattle and sheep, trying to survive in this vast land. When they came to Kanaspur Lake, they followed the rules.

People over fifty-five should be kept here.

It is said that the spirit of this lake is a merciful mother who will protect the children who have been on the road for such a long time. After the eagle has circled in the sky fifty-five times, the children who have wandered on the earth will return to their mother's arms.

There, you can enjoy eternal warmth and plenty of delicious food. You don't have to work hard or survive on the earth.

Saatanti held the dagger at his waist, watching the old people over there take off their clothes and leave them to the tribe, kissing their children, and preparing to stay here, with tolerance, fear, and numbness on their faces.

The girl pursed her lips.

She knew it was just talk to fool children.

The old man was left here because he was unable to endure the subsequent trek. The desert was dry in summer, with a lack of water and food. In this era, he would become a burden that would slow down the tribe's progress.

The tribe would leave food for the young and strong men and children, and leave the old people who were too weak to hunt and protect the tribe by the lake, leaving some food behind and letting these old people fend for themselves and die.

She asked her grandmother when she was little, and her grandmother said that she would stay here and couldn't go with them.

When she was a child, she asked her grandmother if she would be like this too.

Grandma touched her head kindly and replied, "Yes."

"Every family and every person is like this. This is fate."

"Grandma also left her mother and her mother here."

"I turned around, pulling the calf and pony, listening to their bells and cries, and walked away, step by step, without looking back."

"So, for a while, you can't look back, you can't regret, and you can't cry, understand?"

Now the majestic eagle has been circling in the sky for five years. It is time to place the elders of the tribe in the arms of the goddess of the lake. Saatanti held the dagger in his hand, feeling sad. He looked at the sky and thought of the legend he heard from his grandmother when he was young:

"It is said that in ancient times, there was such a legend."

"Legend has it that the mountain where the gods lived was occupied by monsters. The monsters burned the grasslands, froze the glaciers, stopped the rivers from flowing, and the embrace of the lake goddess lost its light. The earth was filled with war and disaster."

"At this time, a brave young man went up the mountain and prayed for the favor of the gods. The gods took pity on his situation and praised his courage, so they gave him this name."

"Say, Tianger, Tianger."

"A hero will come to the world to break the disaster and eliminate the war. That was the first great hero in history before the Tuyuhun King in the Western Regions. He only existed in the legends passed down by word of mouth."

"Speak, Tianger."

Saatanti burst into tears and said, "Tianger, Tianger..."

Her low voice stunned the old people. Even the young men who were holding the ceremony felt sad and about to cry. Someone said, "It's too late now. Otherwise, why don't we come again next year?"

But there was a man with a beard and two knives on his waist, with red eyes and tears, who said, "No, no, the rules are the rules."

His heart ached as he looked at his father and mother standing among those elderly people.

There was not enough food, the old people were sick, the desert was scorching hot in the summer, and there would be plague, and the children would die. He held the knife and said loudly: "Returning to the goddess of the lake is much better than walking to the cliff and letting the messenger of Changshengtian, the flying eagle, carve my internal organs and return them to heaven and earth."

"Anything else you're not satisfied with?"

"Unless there really is a Tianger..."

boom! ! ! !

A gust of wind exploded, and a humming sound swept through here. Saatanti widened his eyes, and the people of the entire tribe looked there in the night and with torches. A figure fell from the sky, entangled with red-gold flames and nine-color brilliance, and landed heavily on the ground.

boom! ! ! !

There was a faint shadow of a red dragon, and someone, just as the legend said, stepped on the weapon used for the tribe's ceremony, the flames spread, his black hair was slightly lifted, and in his arms was a beautiful silver-haired girl.

Like a hero in mythology, he responded to the call and came to the earth.

There was dead silence and solemnity.

Li Guanyi slowly raised his head and looked at the ancient artifact that he had shattered into powder. His gaze froze and he looked around. Looking at the densely packed burly men with torches in one hand and scimitars in the other, the young man was silent, raised his head and looked into the distance with lifeless eyes.

My distant aunt and great-grandfather in Jiangnan.

I am Guanyi.

The first day of arriving in the Western Regions was not smooth.

I seemed to have overturned something like someone else's ancestral artifact.
