Today King Xia is wearing very simple imperial clothes.
The top is black, representing the sky, because when the sun does not rise, the color of the sky is dark; the bottom is yellow, representing the earth, naturally because the earth is yellow. However, this does not apply in the Netherworld, which is more bluish-black.
The yellow land is found only in the hometown of the ancestors of the Xia people, and it has been passed down as a tradition. Those ancestors could not return to their hometown until their death. Perhaps the Xia tribe's hometown had been annihilated long ago.
It has been so long, and the current people of the Xia tribe no longer miss the hometown they have never seen. Daxia occupies the center of the Nether World, and there have been countless conquests, but the territory has not changed significantly for five hundred years. There is nothing else. The reason is just because other places don’t like it very much.
Although the world is huge, there are not many territories that can tempt the King of Xia. Perhaps Shura Blood Sea is one of them, but since the emergence of a great Asura three hundred years ago, the Shura clan there is no longer something that Daxia can easily annex.
Thinking of the man's perfected killing swordsmanship from the Blood Sea of Asura, and the fully evolved Great Asura Sword, which could actually bring him a sense of danger, King Xia narrowed his eyes slightly. One day he would go to the depths of the Blood Sea. , try that magic sword again.
Before that, let's perfect the magic sword in the palace. He never uses weapons. It's not because he is arrogant, but because he doesn't have a weapon that can match him for the time being. But the magic sword seems to have undergone wonderful changes. If If you continue to evolve, it can be used as his weapon. To complete this step, you need more blood, so he will start more wars.
The only thing that King Xia was deeply afraid of was the mysterious Qi practitioner hidden in Emperor Qiu. This is the reason why he hates Bald Donkey and Taoist priests. These people may not be very powerful, but they have too many tricks, especially hiding. , even he couldn't detect the person's exact location, he only knew that the other person had not left Diqiu.
Fortunately, King Xia knew that the other party would come to him sooner or later without any reason. This was the premonition. His premonition was as unerring as the sun rising every day.
As for Tianyi, King Xia did not decide to execute him now, because he wanted to keep Tianyi for sacrifice, so he needed an opportunity instead of killing him casually.
The most important thing is that none of the officials know that Tianyi practices the supreme Taoist nine-turn Yuan Gong and has practiced it to the eighth level. After this step, Tianyi's Yuanshen is almost immortal, even if he Tian Yi can be suppressed, but there are not many ways to execute him.
But how can this matter be mentioned to others? If the King of Xia cannot kill Tianyi, it will prove that the leaders of Yin Shang and Da Xia are on equal footing.
That's why Tianyi came to Diqiu so boldly. He concluded that King Xia couldn't kill him.
Every time Tian Yi stays in Diqiu for one more day, people in the world will misunderstand King Xia more deeply. The best way is for King Xia to be magnanimous and let him go, but King Xia knows that if he lets Tian Yi go, it will mean that he He lost to Tianyi in this invisible battle. He had never lost before in his life!
Everyone thought that King Xia continued to imprison Tian Yi because of his temper. In fact, this was ridiculous. The emperor's thoughts would never be easily guessed.
The ministers filed in from outside the palace, all wearing solemn crown robes, but they did not dare to raise their heads to look at King Xia, and each found his own place to sit down.
There was only one person in the hall whose eyes dared to stay on King Xia for a long time, and that person was not far from King Xia.
King Xia followed his gaze and said with a hearty laugh: "Jingjing comes here and sits next to me. She seems to have grown taller again."
King Xia had no daughters, only a prince, so he loved Lei Jing very much, which was known to all the officials.
Everyone thought that now only Lord Jing could speak casually to King Xia.
Lei Jing floated to the side of King Xia like a feather, her colorful clothes were slightly restrained, and she sat with an extremely elegant posture, full of nobility. She pouted and said, "Uncle, I've been here for so long, and you just discovered me now."
King Xia patted her on the shoulder, his aggressive eyes became much calmer, and he said in a gentle tone: "I haven't seen you enter the palace these days. If you don't come, my uncle will leave the palace to find you."
Lei Jing smiled and said: "Uncle, I haven't come to see you during this time, but I am preparing a gift for you. I hope you will like it very much when you see it."
King Xia laughed loudly and said: "There is nothing in the Summer Palace. I want to see what kind of gifts you have prepared to make me like it. If I am not satisfied, you will be punished."
Lei Jing stuck out her tongue and said, "That's not okay, what if you deliberately say you don't like it."
King Xia said: "You are the only one who dares to speak to me like this. If it were anyone else who said such words, you should claim to be guilty and worthy of death."
When the ministers heard this, most of them laughed muffledly. Then King Xia looked around at everyone, and they were immediately silent. Only then did King Xia smile slightly, as if he was amused.
He said: "Come here, bring me the gift Jingjing gave me."
Soon, two big men brought in a statue covered with light cyan cloud gauze, placed it firmly on the main hall, and prepared to uncover the cyan gauze.
King Xia looked over, with a strange feeling in his heart, and said: "Wait a minute, I will come in person."
… …
Shen Lian sat down in his seat, surrounded by messengers sent by tribes that were neither strong nor weak.
The background that Shen Lian had shown before made these envoys quite enthusiastic towards him. After all, the lack of strength of the Xiliang Kingdom had little to do with them. However, Dianke's friendly attitude towards Shen Lian forced them to have a lot of enthusiasm for Shen Lian.
After all, if they build a good relationship with Shen Lian, they might be able to get to know Dianke. In this way, their life in Diqiu will be much easier, and they can bring back many specialties of Daxia.
Shen Lian spoke to them calmly and learned that these envoys came from the north of Daxia, which was an endless wasteland and there were many monsters. They developed monster cavalry or drove monsters to pull chariots. To attack other tribes, it is difficult to build a city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack in the wilderness. Every battle determines the life and death of the tribe. Because they associate with monsters, they are all called Di by Daxia.
But they all have the same belief. Millions of miles north of Daxia, there is the Youdu Mountain, which is the holy mountain of the entire north and where all the Di people believe.
A prophet of the Di tribe once said that the real king of the Di tribe would be born in the Youdu Mountain, and that king would then unify the Di tribe and establish a powerful empire.
Therefore, the Di tribe has never stopped fighting for the Youdu Mountain. Many Di tribes believe that whoever captures the Youdu Mountain can establish a royal court and become the co-owner of the Di tribe.
When Shen Lian heard this, he just chuckled and agreed. He was more interested in the customs of the north than the far-fetched prophecies.
Suddenly a voice sounded in his ears, "Is it convenient to meet?"
