The ancients said: A horse ran to death when looking at the mountain.
This is really not a lie.
A few hours ago, Xiao Shizhu saw the border guarded by Ke Yun in the morning light and stood on the horizon. But after walking for a while, Xiao Shizhu and the others were unable to reach the pass.
The few peaks at the distance where the pass is located have become larger as Xiao Shizhu and the others go. As for the distance, there is always a visual illusion. In this vast flat wilderness, look around
It looks like there is no change at all.
Xiao Shizhu and the others were not in a hurry, so they followed Ke Yun and the others in the dazzling and gloomy sunlight, walking on the flat and beautiful scenery, only the boundless yellow sand wilderness.
At noon, they stopped in the wilderness. Ke Yun sent the messenger to inform them of the news first. Then, with Xiao Shizhu and the others, they found the backs of several stones standing on the wilderness, and in the shadows cast by the huge rocks.
After eating something in a hurry, I continued to move forward leisurely.
It was not until afternoon, when the sun was already setting in the sky, Xiao Shizhu and his group of ghosts followed Ke Yun and the others to the front of the pass.
When you get closer, you will find that this place is the same as the holy land where Queen Huangquan lives. Several green mountains standing among the yellow sand, without any desolation or yellow sand everywhere. The edge of the valley between the peaks lies with city gates and walls.
There are towers, arrow towers and other buildings on the tall walls, and the defense is as strict as the holy land.
Looking at the world behind the wall through the gate of the city gate, you can see beautiful mountain streams and rivers crisscrossing the water sources. There are also many majestic and spectacular waterfalls in the mountains, from thousands of cliffs on several green mountains.
The rocks and valleys are experiencing ups and downs.
Looking at the waterfall in the mountains from afar, like white hanging down the sky, and looking at it close to it, like flying pearls and jade splashing. Water splashes under the waterfall, and the mist is hazy everywhere among the peaks. Through the refraction of the sunlight, every drop of water drops in the waterfall is
It's colorful.
Xiao Shizhu and the others followed Ke Yun through the door hole under the city gate tower and came to the mountain valley behind the city wall.
As the rumbling sound of falling into the water, through the mist caused by the splashing water droplets, Xiao Shizhu could see that there were farmlands everywhere among the streams, but there were no houses. The local ghosts cultivated the land at the foot of the mountain as much as possible.
Grain fields are used to grow crops.
The fields are planted with thin, long, smooth and graceful rice, and are neatly lined up in the paddy fields. It is no different from the ghost rice in the underworld and the rice in other people's homes. But plant them.
But it was not corn or ghost rice, but jade grain that Yingying asked the Queen of Huangquan.
A single piece of rice can be cooked into jade grains that can be made into millions of rice.
Today, the ghosts of the Yellow Springs live in too many desolate places and cannot plant food. If it weren't for the jade grain seeds planted by the ancient gods, the ghosts of the Yellow Springs have long been extinct. This vast yellow spring has long become the world of the ghost soldiers of Fengdu.
It's right.
Even so, the ghost of the Yellow Spring must make good use of every inch of flat land and strive for a variety of food.
This is the case in Ke Yun's residence. According to what she said when she chatted with Xiao Shizhu and others, the nearby passes and villages and towns built in the wilderness of yellow sand are all provided by her residence.
So not only are jade grains cultivated on the flat ground, but even those peaks head towards the foot of the valley to the middle of the mountain. In the not-so-steep places, layers of terraces have been cultivated and jade grains have been planted.
As for the houses and military camps where ghosts live here, they can only be built on the mountain peaks and facing the slopes of the deserted plains outside.
In this way, the defense here is strengthened. When the enemy attacks, they will often be repelled before they can reach the bottom of the valley between the peaks.
In order to survive, these ghosts in the underworld racked their brains and tried their best. Otherwise, they would destroy their clans and disappear from then on.
Even historical books may not record them.
But Xiao Shizhu could see from many recent conversations with Ke Yun that if they were exterminated by natural disasters, they would be appointed. But if they were destroyed by the ghost soldiers of Fengdu, they would never be willing to accept it.
Thinking about this, Xiao Shizhu suddenly became admirable to Ke Yun in front of him. These ghosts in the underworld were much more difficult to live than the ghosts in the underworld. But along the way, Xiao Shizhu never saw any of them and complained about himself.
.
This alone is worthy of admiration.
Along the way, all the ghosts farmed in the fields were around the side of a group of ghosts, and they all knelt down to salute. However, they did not give Ke Yun, but Xiao Shizhu. When the messenger arrived here first,
The heroic deeds of Xiao Shizhu have spread throughout the valley. After hearing Xiao Shizhu's story, all the ghosts of the Huangquan who have been harmed by the ghost soldiers in Fengdu have been respectful to the son of God.
Xiao Shizhu and the others walked along the crisscrossing streams and rivers for a while, and finally arrived at the one that Xiao Shizhu had always paid attention to, like a strange mountain with dumbbells erected.
Because there was a long notice, the ghost soldiers with joy and excitement on their faces all went down from the pass houses built on the cliff to the sides of the avenue at the foot of the mountain, and welcomed the arrival of the Son of God.
On both sides of the road, neatly arranged guards of honor carried long horns and blew melodious and high-pitched trumpets. There was also a cheer and cheer that was higher than a wave, echoing in Xiao Shizhu's ears. The ghost soldiers listened to the message soldiers.
After talking about his actions of retreating to the enemy and his decision to help them defeat the Fengdu ghost soldiers, they were all very enthusiastic. If it weren't for Xiao Shizhu's side with a guard army, these enthusiastic ghost soldiers who were in high spirits would have pounced on Xiao Shizhu regardless of his own.
He immediately welcomed him by raising or raising his head.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Shizhu kept smiling and nodding. Even though he felt the deafening cheers and cheers were noisy, he still had to be polite and polite. After finally walking that section, he was filled with straight roads that welcomed the ghost soldiers and came to the foot of the mountain.
At that time, cheers were still surrounding his ears. The ghost soldiers followed without falling, surrounding Xiao Shizhu and the others.
Taifeng, who followed Xiao Shizhu, also had a new feeling. During his time serving the Northern Yin Dynasty, Taifeng had never felt this kind of warm welcome from hundreds of ghosts.
He suddenly felt that Xiao Shizhu was covered with a dazzling light on his body, and all the ghosts would involuntarily gather around Xiao Shizhu.
Taifeng was also one of these ghosts. This immediately made him feel a special joy that he only had when making the right choice, and his face was filled with pride.
The beast steers slowly forward and finally arrives at Xiao Shizhu at the foot of the mountain. At this time, he no longer cares about greeting the ghost soldiers in the Yellow Springs. When he walked in, he saw that the mountain was not short, even if Xiao Shizhu and the others were holding their heads.
It is difficult to see the entire view of its huge mountain top when it is 90 degrees. In the large shadow cast by the top of the mountain, the ghosts Xiao Shizhu and others all seem so small.
"Above is the base of the air cavalry here." Ke Yun, who stopped at the foot of the mountain, turned over and jumped off the beast's soul. After seeing Xiao Shizhu and the others looking up at the huge mountain top, which was like an umbrella, he looked at them.
A brief introduction: "It is also the place where my air cavalrymen raise the soul of the flying beast."
"There are still many opportunities to see in the future. Please follow me now." After a pause, Ke Yun said again: "I have sent someone to clean the best room for you in advance, so I can give you a good rest.
one time.".
After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to disband the enthusiastic ghost soldiers, and took Xiao Shizhu and the others toward the foothills of the mountain that was as straight as a huge column and as round as a millstone...
In the underworld, Shuoyue Island and within a radius of hundreds of miles are still shrouded in storms.
The wind and rain blurred the muscles of the corners of the eye, and Gong Mingyi's gaze was twitching, so when he arrived in the stone forest in the sea, he always thought he had read it wrong.
The turbulent sea surface in front of me was covered with broken boards and broken wood. There were also many wooden boards with charred marks of flames burning on them.
The mast and burned canvas are also mixed in. What remains are the blood-stained sea water and the dead demon soul that will not turn into powder.
When Gong Mingyi brought the main fleet into this place, violent explosions came from both sides of Shuoyue Island, as well as fire and thick smoke rising from the sky.
Obviously, Xurishi and Kui Mulang, who were responsible for attacking from both sides of the east and west, also encountered the encounter of Gong Mingyi leading the vanguard army.
What's even more annoying is that when Gong Mingyi arrived here, only one-fifth of the surviving ghost soldiers of the vanguard army rescued from the cold sea water were left before the attack. Moreover, the ambushers were gone.
The incident made Gong Mingyi become more and more angry the more he thought about it. He was furious in his chest, dispelling the coldness caused by the blowing rain on him.
While ordering the navy to seize the time and rescue the surviving ghost soldiers who fell into the water, he ordered Guanyuecha and the air cavalry to continue to fight against Shuoyue Island under the cover of the dark wind and rain.
"I don't believe it. The little Shuoyue Island can stop the millions of heroes under my command." Gong Mingyi, who was extremely angry, clenched his fist in the wind and rain, and hit the guardrail on the edge of the front deck heavily.
The accumulated water on it immediately shattered into splashed water droplets and bounced high.
Almost at the same time, in front of the fleet, deep in the sea, there were bursts of violent explosions, tearing through the darkness one after another, and the flames that reflected the red sky flew in the stormy air, rolling up a
The heat waves evaporate the surrounding raindrops.
"No." Gong Mingyi screamed inwardly, and the anger on his face was replaced by surprise. The flames that kept exploding in front of him and the falling Mars were produced by the huge explosion in the air. The air cavalry and Guanyuecha he sent had already
In the dark night, he faced the army of Jiuyou Kingdom and launched a fierce exchange of fire.
At this time, Gong Mingyi, who suddenly became anxious, saw that the rescue had been basically completed, immediately ordered the messenger beside him: "The army continues to advance at full speed to support the air cavalry and Guanyuecha."
When the "raft" in his mouth was only exited, many warships around him shook violently inexplicably. The sudden and inexplicable change made Gong Mingyi even more shocked, looking at the nearest warship beside him.
.
In the darkness, he could not see clearly what was going on, and a muffled sound came from the bottom of the huge treasure ship under his feet.
It was not shaken violently, but the muffled sound was particularly clear in the wind and rain. After the sound, a slight vibration surged onto the deck, causing the water on the deck to jump slightly.
Gong Mingyi suddenly turned around and looked towards the entrance of the cabin. He saw a panicked ghost soldier rushed out of the cabin after a moment and rushed towards him.
After a few steps, the ghost soldier slid down and fell on the deck. He continued to slide towards Gong Mingyi with inertia, shouting anxiously: "Masterman is not good, we seem to have hit a reef, at the bottom of the cabin
