The sixteenth set, the second volume, what is this place 3-4
Everything is so strange and incredible.
It seemed like a peaceful night, but right where Corey started, some men in uniforms had dug out the sword, and seven eyeballs were placed on a plate. Next to these men in uniforms, there were
A group of people were kneeling.
This group of people were tied up in chains, and each one was missing an eyeball. They were the same group of robbers just now.
"Tell me, what does that person look like?" A young man in the lead looked at the seven people.
Someone immediately brought a folding stool and opened it. The young man sat on it and took the plate he was holding: "Good skill, one sword thrust seven times, and the strength of the six is exactly the same. In the last one, he struck a bit harder.
"
"Sir, that guy is dressed in rags and is inconspicuous at all. Who would want to have such skills?" the thief leader said loudly, hoping to win the favor of these people and get a lighter punishment. "I am with him.
I know, he should be delivering the goods in the city over there now."
The leader of the thieves told the details of the driver, and the group immediately rushed towards the small town where Corey was located.
These people should be considered the security forces on the continent where Corey lives.
But here, in addition to being responsible for public security issues, they also have an important task, which is to discover people with special abilities. This has been their task for nearly a thousand years.
As soon as the captain of the security team and his men walked outside the town, two cavalrymen arrived.
"Captain, there is something strange. We went to a fishing village by the sea just now, and people there said that they found a stranger and was rescued by a fisherman."
"Did you ask the fishermen?" The leading young man stopped.
"After checking, he said he gave the man a set of old clothes and a few pieces of dried fish. The most special thing was that the man was wearing a piece of jade around his neck. He drew what the jade looked like." After that, someone came to take it.
Come up with a pattern.
After taking a look, the captain waved his hand: "Divide into four teams. One team will follow me to check the shops, and the rest will check all the hotels."
Corey is having a sweet dream right now. Is there a real bed where he can sleep all night?
"Little brother, little brother." The driver rushed in, took a cloth bag and stuffed it into Corey's arms. Corey hadn't fully woken up at this moment, and the driver didn't care so much. He picked up Corey and went to
He ran outside, and just handed the horse's reins to Corey at the door of the store. A flash of white light flashed, and he saw a soldier from the security force cutting off the reins with a knife.
Corey had been awakened by this moment, but he still pretended not to wake up and squinted his eyes: "It's dawn, ah, let's go on our way, let's go on our way."
The security captain slowly approached Corey and looked at Corey carefully. When his eyes fell on Corey's exquisite piece of jade, he couldn't help being startled. He quickly took two steps back and knelt down on one knee: "I'm the 13th Security Regiment.
Captain of the 97th Squadron."
"Ah, Xianguan, what are you talking about? Shangguan, Xianguan." Kerui was extremely frightened, but he was still pretending to be confused.
At this time, the cavalryman from just now came over and whispered: "Captain, you have forgotten. The fisherman said he has lost his memory."
The squad leader then nodded: "Hurry and prepare a carriage, the best one."
Corey was scared. He remembered that Princess Qian had said that this jade could summon any demon below the intermediate level among the demons. The nervous expressions of these people when they saw the jade made Corey even more sure that this was the demon and this carriage was
Up or not up.
If I pass, I will probably be taken to a high-level demon clan. Can I still cheat? But if I don't pass, I might not be able to pass this level now.
After much hesitation, Corey got on the carriage and would think of a solution on the way.
The squad leader threw a bag of money to the driver, then led the team on horseback, walking in front of the carriage.
"Captain, who is that?" a soldier asked after the convoy took action.
"I don't know about this, but that piece of jade is not ordinary. It's the first time I've seen this kind of jade. In the past, jade with phoenixes was used by big shots, and those who painted dragons were only qualified to be worn by the top figures of my God Clan.
That jade is either a dragon or a phoenix, I don’t want to guess at all.” The squad leader looked serious.
This sentence, which they did not dare to guess, also made the soldiers know in their minds that this was something belonging to the royal family.
Corey climbed on the carriage, pretending to be asleep, but kept listening.
"Dragon, aren't the dragons the mortal enemies of the demons? Why do they use dragons to make patterns?" Countless questions emerged in Corey's mind.
I have been on the road for more than a month and have only seen two or three towns.
Corey couldn't help but feel that the Demon Tribe's continent was really vast, but the population was very small. The most densely populated areas along the way were forests, uninhabited forests with beautiful scenery. Corey began to doubt that the Demon Tribe was really such a hateful race.
?
"Want to take a rest?" The squad leader politely asked Corey to get out of the car.
"How long do we have to go?" Corey responded to the squad leader for the first time in the first month.
"We have walked more than half the distance, passing through this mountain, and then got on the boat and went down the river. We can walk quickly on the river, and we will reach the capital of God in ten days."
"Shendu, why do you want to go to Shendu?" Corey wanted to do something bad. In Shendu, those eight achievements are where people like the Demon King live. If he is found out, he will be dead. The more he thinks about it,
The more nervous you become.
The squad leader did not explain, but camped beside a stream and ordered his men to prepare dinner.
From the edge of the stream, Corey paid attention to the actions of these demons.
These demons took out something that looked like wheat flour, mixed it with stream water and formed a ball. Others went to the woods to get a lot of grass and came back. One of them was holding something that looked like a demon rabbit in his hand.
"Hey, don't throw away all the roots of the wild vegetables. I like to eat them." Corey heard their conversation and knew that the handful of grass was called wild vegetables by them. People from the demon tribe eat grass. Corey felt really strange, but
Thinking back on it, in the past month, I have also been eating the food they made. Is it possible that I have also been eating grass? It seems that it is not difficult to eat grass.
The other person's behavior really shocked Corey.
I saw him cutting off the animal's meat, washing it and putting it in a bowl. Then he put the bones, bad meat from the animal, and internal organs on the skin, placed it on a stone in the distance, and silently chanted
, it seems to be something like feeling the gift of nature.
Corey listened for a long time and thought that the demon was thanking nature.
When he was at home, Corey had heard too many words of thanking God for his gifts, but this was the first time he heard someone thanking the forest and nature. From an attitude point of view, it was far more sincere than the one where he just said thanking God.
There were many people in the camp, and the busy people in the camp also performed some actions like worshiping the animal's body.
After the worship, those who laid down the skin and flesh returned to the camp and began to process the cut meat.
After a while, many larger animals came out of the forest and ate the skin, flesh and bones on the rocks cleanly.
Corey has a very good impression of all of this. If this is the legendary vicious demon clan, Corey will never believe it is true.
Corey really wanted to ask them why they did this, but he was afraid that others would be suspicious of him.
Dinner was very simple. They used wheat flour to make wheat cakes on hot stones, and cooked wild vegetables with slices of meat to make a dish.
"Thank you to the forest, thank you to nature." Kerui Xin said. This thing was found from the forest. It tasted really good. After putting down the bowl, he couldn't help but sigh. But the soldiers who were still holding the bowl heard Kerui's words.
, immediately put down the bowl in his hand, and said it again with a very pious look.
Corey was shocked and hurriedly imitated their actions for fear of being suspected.
Seeing everyone picking up the bowls again, Corey fled back to his tent, fearing that others would see his flaws.
In the early morning of the next day, Corey woke up very early. He regretted that he had just hid in the car or stayed in the tent for a month, for fear that the other party would see something wrong with him. But now, Corey
Rui needs to take a closer look at these people and see what they are doing.
Corey just watched. He didn't dare to move and was observing secretly.
First, I saw the demons packing up the sundries in the camp, and the uneaten food was dumped under a tree. The tree was five hundred meters away from the camp.
Before the people came back, there were already wild beasts feasting on them.
There is no breakfast. Corey has never seen the demons eating breakfast. It should be said to be an informal breakfast. There is some dry food. If anyone is hungry, just eat some by yourself. The demons only have one formal meal, which is before night.
What you eat.
The tents were all put away, and someone began to clean the ground.
When Corey was invited back to the carriage, he looked back at the place where he used to live. It was as if no one had ever been there before. Except for the small holes left by the pillars when the tent was set up, there were no traces left.
Next, where the fire was to be made, there was an iron frame on the ground. Firewood and ashes were buried under the tree, and water was specially poured on it for fear that it would ignite the leaves and weeds.
Praise the forest, praise nature. Corey couldn't help but think of the words that these demons often said. Looking at their actual actions, Corey had to believe that the demons' respect for nature comes from the heart and is real.
Expressed through actions.
After walking on land for another two days and over the mountains, the team arrived at the river.
Originally, Corey thought that they would cut down trees and make temporary rafts, and then when they got to a town, they would transfer to a big boat. However, these people began to dismantle the carriages, and the carriages quickly turned into large wooden boards.
Several small boats were formed, and the horses and cargo were put on the boat at the back. Everyone except the driver sat on the larger boat in front.
Corey noticed that the hull at the back was empty, while there were many horizontal panels in the front for people to sit on, and a strap to tie around the waist.
A big tree as thick as an arm can only grow for a hundred years, or at most a few hundred years. But the demons have a life span of ten thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years. Corey was thinking in his mind, compared to his own human race, it is just a matter of facing a small tree.
I feel like I am afraid of trouble, or I am simply unwilling to cut down one more tree.
"Ah, that tree is really straight and very tall." Corey suddenly pointed at a tall tree in the woods and said, feeling as if he had seen something novel.
The squad leader looked back and said with emotion: "Well, I remember that tree. When I passed by here before, it was planted by my captain."
"Tell me." Corey put on a curious expression.
"Well, it was four hundred years ago. When I first joined the security army, I went to Shendu with the captain to deliver things. We passed by here. At that time, this area was still desolate. It happened to be a heavy rain and we couldn't go down the river. The captain took him with him
I rode horseback for a few days and then dug out a small tree that was just over a year old in a large forest and planted it here."
Corey could clearly see the happiness in the squad leader's eyes.
Listening to the squad leader continue talking: "Every time I pass by here, I see it growing taller. I remember that it was more than thirty years after it was planted, and small trees began to grow around it. No, slowly
It turned into a large forest and gave many small animals a space to live."
After finishing speaking, the squad leader will ask Corey to get on the boat.
At this time, a soldier ran over and said, "Oh no, captain, there's a problem over there."
Seeing the soldier's nervous expression, Corey's first reaction was that something big had happened, and it was a big thing. When he saw that the squad leader had arranged for two people to guard the ship and ran away with the others, he followed him.
Entering the woods, Corey didn't notice anything unusual, but felt that the demons were getting more nervous.
"The problem is serious and needs to be dealt with immediately."
After hearing the squad leader's order, Corey didn't understand what happened.
Soon, I saw the soldiers getting the tools and starting to dig in the trees. At the same time, they also set up the iron frame for burning fire outside the woods.
After a while, Corey finally saw clearly that there were many white bugs growing in the dug tree.
"Quick, take it outside and burn it. You guys, increase the search area and ask them to lift the boat to the shore and set up the tents." When the squad leader was giving these orders, he also noticed that Corey was beside him, but
There is no point in explaining anything.
Corey also felt strange in his heart. Since they thought they were big shots, why didn't they explain it? There was only one reason, that is, it was natural for them to do these things, and it was something that every demon clan understood.
In order to avoid suspicion from these people, Kerui also picked up tools and worked together. However, Kerui could not see that there was anything wrong with the tree, so he could only help the people who found the problem to dig out the trunk.
"We have to hurry up, let this bug grow wings, and then this forest will be finished."
Corey finally understood that the reason why they were so nervous was because they were afraid that the forest would be destroyed by insects.
Pieces of wood chips with insects on them were taken to the edge of the woods, placed on the fire rack and started to burn.
Ten days, a whole ten days, everyone except Corey was busy nervously. At this time, another team also arrived here. This team was a little different. Some people on the carriage were tied up.
Among them was the driver.
As soon as the soldiers on both sides communicated, the newcomers immediately joined in the work, not only on the carriage, but also after the tied people untied their ropes and started working.
Everyone is working hard and no one has any intention of running away.
"You're here too, let's have a drink of water." The driver had good cooking skills and was responsible for cooking. Seeing Kerui counting the wood, he brought a bowl of water to Kerui, but he didn't dare to call Kerui again.
For little brother.
"Thank you, you were caught anyway." Corey asked.
The driver sighed softly: "On the second day after that night, when I was making a fire, I didn't use flint to start the fire. I was anxious, and my hand burst into flames. The security forces inspected me, and it happened that I
If you can set off your own fire without being burned by the fire, then take me to the capital of gods."
After that, he pointed to a few people working, and it seemed that they were in the same situation.
Corey originally wanted to ask the driver why he didn't escape because nine out of ten people who went there would not survive. But looking at it again, everyone was working hard and had no intention of escaping. He was afraid that he would ask something strange, so he had to
Shut up and don't dare to say anything anymore.
There are so many weird things going on these days, and there are so many questions that Corey wants to ask, but he doesn't dare to ask them. This makes Corey extremely uncomfortable.
During dinner, Corey, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally asked.
"Are they going to die?"
"Yes, it was a narrow escape. I wish I had the honor to participate." The solemn expression on the squad leader's face made Corey have more questions in his mind. Why should he go if he knew it was a narrow escape, and he also thought it was a narrow escape?
Such an honor. If it had been before, I'm afraid Corey would have burst out laughing. Looking at the expressions of the people around him, it was certainly impossible for Corey to laugh.
At this time, another captain stood up: "I shouldn't have said this originally, but there are no outsiders here. Besides, I should tell you these things when you arrive in the capital of the gods."
After hearing the captain speak, everyone put down their bowls and listened quietly.
The captain pointed to the woods and said, "What we are doing now is just a small job, because it is not dangerous. But what if dealing with these bugs is very dangerous and involves a narrow escape from death."
"No need to ask, who would hesitate to do such a thing, of course he will do it." The person who spoke was the person who was tied with the most ropes on the carriage.
"That's all I have to say. Lord God King didn't force us to choose. If we don't want to, we can go back, but we can't spread what we experienced." The captain said this and smiled slightly: "But, I know,
No one has left in the past thousand years. For the sake of the beautiful earth, this is also the mission of our divine race."
It was that worshiping posture again, which really gave Corey a headache, but he had to imitate it.
After the worship, no one mentioned the previous question again. They all ate in silence. After eating, they all took their tools and went back to work.
Corey regretted it. He had known better not to ask these questions, but now he had more questions in his mind and felt even more uncomfortable.
A few days later, the forest was cleared, and the two team captains took people to inspect it in person before boarding the ship with confidence.
At this time, no one was tied up anymore, and there was no anxious look on their faces like the previous few days. Instead, they felt full of energy.
Just as the squad leader said, the speed of going down the river was much faster. In less than ten days, we arrived in front of the so-called Divine Capital. We reassembled the boat into a carriage. In less than half a day, we could see the city walls of the Divine Capital.
.Let Corey feel strange about the city wall.
Speaking of this city wall, it is tall enough and wide enough, but it has a row of nine door openings and not even a city gate.
It looks like nothing. Corey thinks this thing is not practical at all and its defensive properties are almost zero.
"We are about to break up. You must be a big shot, and you must be able to get your memory back." The driver said to Corey excitedly this time, and followed the other captain in the other direction.
At this time, the squad leader brought Corey to the Shendu Guard and briefly explained the situation.
"They will take care of you. We are going back."
"Thank you for taking care of me this month." Corey has learned many etiquettes of the demon clan.
The guards of Shendu took a look at Kerui's piece of jade, and with a respectful attitude, they took Kerui to a garden-like building complex.
Corey looked at these buildings. They were completely different from those on the mainland, but they looked at them in a different way, which was incomparable to the buildings on the mainland.
Compared with these royal palaces on the mainland, they are really almost the same as ordinary peasant houses.
After passing through several small doors, Corey came to a room. There was no one in the room. Corey was told to wait here. Yu Linglong was also taken away, probably for appraisal to see if it was genuine.
It was too late to escape now, Corey made up his mind, hoping to have a chance encounter.
"When did Qian'er give this to you? What's your name?"
When Corey turned around, a strong middle-aged man stood there and spoke kindly to Corey.
"She gave it to me on the Dwarf Island. At that time, I was planning to go to the Grand Canyon next to the Dwarf Holy Mountain." Corey said as he secretly took off the ring in the canyon.
Hidden in pocket.
When the middle-aged man heard about the canyon, his expression changed drastically.
"Why did you go there."
Bad thing, this guy must know something, Kerui thought to himself that maybe Princess Qian had said something, and immediately brought out the same words he used to deceive Princess Qian.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man asked again: "Your name."
"Ji Liantian." Corey thought to himself that this name deceived Princess Qian once, and maybe it could also deceive the person in front of her.
"Nonsense, your name is Ji Liantian." The middle-aged man slammed the table and shouted. He immediately asked, "Then tell me what you saw in the canyon."
Ke Ruixin said that it was really unlucky. Has this person been there too?
"Well, half of it was ice and half was fire. I walked halfway and didn't go any further."
The middle-aged man didn't seem to listen to what Corey was saying at all. Instead, he muttered silently: "Ji Liantian, Ji Liantian. Lian. Lian, Lian." He kept chanting the hyphen and suddenly raised his head: "Who are your parents?
What are their names?"
"Well, I don't know, and I don't remember who my parents are." Corey was frightened by the other person's expression and took a few steps back. He didn't stop until he put his hand on the pillar.
"Then you know what Qian'er's name is."
"Ji Ruqian." Kerui thought it was great that he still remembered her name.
"This is her name to the outside world. Her real name is Ji Lianqian. The word "lian" is unique to our God-Emperor clan and is arranged according to generation. If there is a hyphen in the middle of your name, then your parents must be
One of my brothers and sisters, but I don’t know that among my brothers and sisters…”
When the middle-aged man said this, he suddenly stopped.
"Could it be that you are..." The middle-aged man stared at Corey and kept looking at him. He knew that the canyon was where his sister died in the battle, but no body was found.
The middle-aged man in front of Corey is the emperor of the demon clan.
He stared at Corey and said to himself: "Isn't she dead? She's not dead. No, it's impossible for Fenglin Sword to return on its own without her being dead, but..." the middle-aged man said to himself.
He said to himself, no longer caring about Corey's existence, and walked outside.
