Xiao Fuling, who was so happy that she started dancing when she saw her mother nodding, heard the words "Three Chapters of the Agreement" again, her smile suddenly froze, and then she mumbled and pulled her face down.
In the past five years, she had gone through countless different arrangements, and each time she felt overwhelmed. Therefore, when she heard these four words, she would always feel a little conflicted in her heart.
"First, you have to start as a soldier. The ranks of sergeants in our country are divided into four levels: soldiers, pawns, soldiers and flags. You should be a soldier first." Regardless of her daughter's frustration, the ghost mother raised three fingers and said to her
He said seriously: "Second, you must abide by military regulations in the military camp. Third, stay with your father and do not leave his sight."
From beginning to end, Xiao Shizhu did not interrupt, because he knew that if he asked for mercy for his daughter at this time, he would inevitably be scolded as well. He simply chose to listen quietly.
"Ah? So many demands?" After hearing this, Xiao Fuling complained with a look of displeasure on her face. At the same time, she raised her right little finger, put it into her ear, and twisted it left and right.
"Forget it if you don't agree." The ghost mother turned her head slightly, looked away from her face, and said in a strong tone: "Your father is about to go on an expedition, and I need someone to relieve my boredom, so just stay with me.
”.
"I promise." Seeing that she showed no regret at all, Xiao Fuling hurriedly answered without thinking. Now, as long as she can leave the palace and join the army, she will agree to any conditions on the battlefield that she dreamed of last time.
"Okay." The ghost mother had deliberately teased her before. As a mother, she would never go back on her promise to her daughter. She smiled and said: "Then you must do these three things, otherwise you will never go back on it in the future.
I want to take another step out of the palace."
"Yes, yes." The next second later, Xiao Fuling fell down on the chair unwillingly, her little face bulging slightly in anger.
"Yes, you only need to answer once." The ghost mother's face suddenly became angry, and she scolded in a deep voice: "As the master, you have to sit properly, so sit down for me."
"Yes." Xiao Fuling was so frightened that she quickly straightened her back and sat upright. This made Yingzhao Lu Wu secretly laugh.
Compared with her father, she was more afraid of her mother who would get angry if she disagreed with her, and even dared to twist her father's noble ears.
"Mom, I have agreed to all your requests." Then she rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "Can you also agree to my request? Please, mother, can I take Senior Sister Xiaosi there?"
.
The unwillingness in his eyes as he spoke has turned into expectation and pleading.
In the past, she and Xiaosi were the best friends when practicing at Sutianju, probably because they were similar in age. Even the method of hiding on the beam in secret today was something she and Xiaosi discussed privately.
"You have to ask your master about this." The ghost mother deliberately did not answer. She raised her teacup and glanced at Yingying opposite her, passing the problem to her.
"Master." Xiao Fuling immediately turned her head and moved her pleading eyes to Yingying's face. There was still a bit of sadness between her slightly frowned brows. She muttered her little mouth and begged: "As the master, I have to have someone."
Guard, Senior Sister Xiaosi is your proud disciple.
, She is extremely proficient in the art of gods and ghosts, and Su Tianju’s swordsmanship is even more superb and unpredictable; just let her accompany the disciple. The battlefield is dangerous, and if the disciple comes back with missing arms and legs, you don’t want to see this.
Me, right? Do you think so?".
Listening to her bargaining, both Yingzhao Lu Wu and Qin Yuan suddenly felt familiar, as if they had seen Xiao Shizhu a few years ago, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in their hearts: "She is indeed the eldest brother's daughter."
"Okay." Yingying pretended to ponder for a moment, then she pursed her lips and smiled, diluting the indifference on her face. She shook her head and said, "I'm afraid of you. I'll just go back and tell your senior sister."
"Thank you, Master." The pleading look on Xiao Fuling's face suddenly turned into joy.
"Okay, you've finished talking about your affairs. It's time for your father to talk about his affairs." Xiao Shizhu sat next to the ghost mother again. Seeing Xiao Fuling nodding her head obediently, she continued to say loudly: "This expedition,
There are still a few details we need to agree on."
Three hours later, the closed door of Tianyang Palace opened again, and all the ghosts filed out; except for Yingying, who always looked indifferent, the faces of the other ghosts were filled with faint excitement.
Although the decision to capture Du Ziren and start a war with Emperor Fengdu was still limited to the top secrets known to a few ghosts at this stage, it was enough to make the ghosts feel as if they had seen a ray of light in the darkness, and their spirits were lifted.
In the dark age of the underworld, the rule of Emperor Fengdu began to end.
After her mother repeatedly told her to keep what she saw and heard today secret, Xiao Fuling kept it in mind and flew out of Tianyang Palace in high spirits, heading towards Yuebi Palace, saying that she was looking for her.
The moon girl needs a suit of armor.
Lu Wu invited Yingzhao and Qin Yuan to drink tea at his house; they had not seen each other for a year, and the two brothers had endless things to talk about tonight.
Chunyun, who didn't talk much, and Yingying, who was indifferent, left Tianyang Palace in silence.
Hu Hui, on the other hand, was traveling with Wu Qiu Shou, saying that he wanted to go to the Chacha Department, but he didn't know what he was going to see.
Lin Cong unexpectedly invited Jiang Ziwen to his mansion to reminisce about the past.
In the huge Tianyang Palace, in less than a moment, only Ghost Mother and Xiao Shizhu were left, and it was extremely quiet.
"I'm surprised that you agreed to let your daughter go to practice." Xiao Shizhu looked forward, but quietly reached out and hugged the ghost mother's slender waist: "In the past, weren't you afraid of her stumbling here and there?".
"It's right when I think about it. When I fought with the devil, I was one year younger than our Poria." The ghost mother smiled softly and said lightly: "Perhaps as you said, there is no growth without experience; I don't want my
My daughter has been too comfortable all her life." There was a hint of worry in her eyes that never weakened.
After saying this, the two ghosts looked at each other and smiled.
"But husband, if we really start a war with Emperor Fengdu, we still need to take one more step." After a moment, she put away her smile and said solemnly.
"What?" Xiao Shizhu was slightly stunned. According to his plan, although it was not perfect, it was almost perfect, so he looked at his wife curiously.
"As the son of God, I want to win over the three seedlings of Yunmengzhou." The ghost mother frowned and whispered in his ear: "Although the land size of Yunmengzhou is only one-third of that of Xuanyanzhou,
The Sanmiao ghosts who have lived there for generations are extremely fierce and fierce in fighting. Even the Fengdu army is afraid of them. If they can be won over, they will definitely become a new force in our country."
"Yunmengzhou, Sanmiao." Xiao Shizhu muttered, looking into the void ahead, and fell into deep thought.
To the east of the vast Minghai Sea, there is a bottomless trench under the blue water, lying across the sea.
No one knows how deep this slender north-south trench is, but I guess it's probably hundreds of millions of miles deep, but I don't know that it's actually a bottomless valley in the ocean.
Here is the famous Guixu Trench in the underworld.
It is said that it was once connected to the Guixu of the human world. It was from this trench that ran through the two realms of yin and yang that the evil gods mobilized countless seawater to pour into the human world and create the great flood in ancient times.
Afterwards, it was the good gods who sealed the ruins of the human world and stopped the flood.
This famous trench was also the place where Bu Ting Hu Yu, one of the ancient gods, lived.
But nowadays, people take tea to cool down, and so do gods. After Bu Ting Hu Yu died in battle in the human world, under the underworld ruled by Emperor Fengdu, it was just the dividing line between Xuanyan Continent and Yunmeng Continent.
Yunmengzhou to the west of the trench does not have as much wasteland as Xuanyanzhou. You can see green mountain peaks, clear lakes and winding streams everywhere, as well as deep canyons with inverted ravines.
There are also countless waterfalls.
It can be said that the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is charming.
This continent is named Yunmeng because the clouds and mist linger all year round, making it look like a dream.
This is where the Sanmiao ghost tribe lives in the underworld.
Along the banks of mountain streams and lakes, you can see Sanmiao Village built entirely of bamboo and wood, standing among the clouds and mist, looming. There are beautiful bamboo bridges, exquisite water rollers, and simple village doors covered with animal bones.
Together with the bamboo-made stilted buildings under the ancient trees and among the strange flowers, it forms a beautiful pastoral scene.
The ghost tribe here still continues the system they had when they were in the human world. Sanmiao, the leader of the whole tribe, has countless small leaders, each leading and managing about three to five Sanmiao villages.
Such a small leader is called a hammer. Under the hammer are several deputy hammers, as well as the military leaders "Hard Hand" and "Tiger Man". There are also priests in charge of sacrifices, and "Xingtou" and "Li Lao" who preside over justice.
Waiting for several deacon leaders to help Langtou manage the various Sanmiao villages under his control.
In the middle of Yunmengzhou, between the mountains and ridges, there are dozens of lakes of different sizes, scattered among the mountains and forests. In the middle, the large lake with a radius of hundreds of miles is Yunmengze.
The capital of Sanmiao, Yunmeng Village, is located in this lake. Yunmeng Mountain rises from the lake, winds around for dozens of miles, and has a gourd-shaped peak.
A long wall made of the hard ribs of various animal souls surrounds the foot of the mountain, enclosing the entire Yunmeng Mountain. The long and sharp bones face outwards, slightly curved and point toward the sky, like a line covered with spikes.
The white giant snake.
A tall and majestic village gate opened to the north, and it was covered with the heads of unicorns and ligers. There were also Miao flags sewn from animal skins and embroidered with the totems of the three Miao and dog gods hanging high on the gate, fluttering in the wind.
Two stone dogs, about one foot tall and with lifelike expressions, squatted in front of the village gate, staring majestically ahead.
Many were wearing rattan armor and raincoats. Each ghost was carrying a Sanmiao warrior with a quiver full of poisonous quivers and a long bow. They were holding a five-foot straight sword with a slender blade or a sword with a blade about eight inches wide and a thick and narrow tail.
The sharp ax stands in front of the village gate and on the towers on the left and right sides of the village gate.
After passing the village gate, you can see a series of strange-shaped and distinctive stilted buildings built against the mountain, extending gradually from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
Smooth stone roads shuttle between these houses.
Climb up Yunmeng Mountain along these stone roads, and you will see a large three-in-one courtyard on the top of the mountain. There are more than a hundred houses in it, but none of them are like the style of the San Miao people. There are no hangings.
It has an animal head and is not decorated with animal bones. It is all made of green bricks and blue tiles.
There are screen walls, gates, lobby, front yard and back yard, all rising up from the mountain. There are wing rooms, side rooms, and study rooms on both sides, symmetrical on the left and right.
Here is Sanmiao's palace.
The tall and finely carved lobby is even more majestic and spectacular; in addition to two stone walls surrounding it, there are also three-story bunker-like turrets on the four corners.
Being condescending, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But no one knows that under such a bright and beautiful building, there is a dark and musty dungeon hidden; there is a secret that even the three ghosts are unaware of.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a long robe with a right hem, a wool felt woven with geometric patterns over his shoulders, a cyan bun on his head, and leggings on his calves is standing in the deepest part of the silent dungeon. Then the wall lamp casts a light
The dim light looked at the prisoner in the cell through the solid iron bars.
In this small dungeon, apart from these two ghosts, there are only a few rat beast souls left occasionally, squeaking and shuttling through the cells.
The middle-aged soul standing outside the cell was not tall but burly and strong. Under his bronze skin, his muscles were tangled. There were three scars with sharp points on both ends across his face. In addition, his pair of eyes were as brave as a wild beast.
The big copper bell eyes with green light are even more frightening.
What's strange is that the ghost standing opposite him, just a column away from him, looks exactly the same as the ghost outside the cell.
Even the length, width and location of the scars on the face are exactly the same.
"Sanmiao." After a long time, the human soul outside the prison snorted softly, then raised his lips slightly, showing his yellow teeth, and said slowly to the ghost in the prison: "You still refuse to tell me about the Dog God Bone Staff.
