The author has something to say: Ji Xia's paragraph is purely borrowed. (I am too shameless as an author!)
"A few more days?" In the darkness, Ying Yan asked the kid who came to report.
The little ghost lowered his head and shrank. He felt terribly cold. This person's yin qi seemed to be much heavier than his ghost. "Peach Da Yao, I only talked about it for a few days." A lot of things have changed, the dignified and dignified King of Hell has been punished by heaven, and the omnipotent Tao Da Yao has also been injured. Now it is not surprising that the mortal beside him is colder than the ghost of hell.
"What happened?"
The little ghost felt that he was wrapped in the cold eyes of the mortal, unable to move, even his ghost heart was tightly bound, he tried his best to open his mouth, but his throat seemed to be strangled, and he couldn't utter a word. He swallowed hard, thinking that he was someone who had died anyway. He had seen the King of Hell and Tao Da Yao. How could he be afraid of a mortal who didn't understand anything, so he bumped his guts and said in a high voice: "The King of Hell... The King of Hell was punished by heaven, and Dushuo Mountain was also surrounded by a layer of black clouds. The Tao Da Yao went to rescue the King of Hell, but the King of Hell was injured and it will take some time to heal." In his mind, the Tao Yao has nothing to do No, even if he witnessed the silence of the peach demon in front of Dushuo Mountain, his hair like a mother of lightning and the flesh that was almost cooked by the lightning strike.
"How is she?"
"Of course!" The kid raised his head proudly, raised his chin high, straightened his back, looked at the mortal in the dark, and answered with great pride. But only when he touched his eyes, he immediately lowered his head in fright, and was secretly annoyed that he was actually afraid of a mortal.
"Go back and ask how long it will take her to come back?"
The kid returned to Dushuo Mountain, but he was annoyed at why he agreed to a mortal's request so easily. They should be treated with courtesy, and thinking about it like this makes me feel much better.
But how long does it take for the big peach demon to return to the world, the little ghost can't answer anymore, he only saw the deity of the big peach demon - the peach tree in a thousand miles in the morning, with all the flowers falling and the leaves turning yellow.
The kid didn't report the unanswered answer to Ying Yan, but only returned to him and left when the big peach demon would always come back.
At that time, Ying Yan was sitting on the couch where the peach demon usually slept, with the words "always come back" that the kid said in his ears. How many years does a demon's "always come back" mean? …
That's all, if you can't keep the promise, you will be in the next life.
It was not until King Xu was buried and his spiritual seat was sent to the ancestral temple. The King of Chu again mentioned the matter of marriage to Yingyan. According to marriage customs, when the father died, the son either got married in the year of the father's death, or he could only marry after three years of filial piety. Ying Yan chose the latter, no matter how the monarch of Chu State wanted to marry Ying Yan and Mi Mi, he could only give in readily in front of Xiao Xiao.
In the same year, the current emperor of Zhou, Ji Xiashuai, the son of King Zhou Kang, once again marched south to Jingchu.
As for his first southern expedition three years ago, because his father Kang Wang Nan expedition won too many trophies back then, and now that his national power is waning as he succeeds the throne, the southern expedition to Jingchu can not only deter the princes from all sides, You can also get a lot of trophies, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it. And three years ago, when various countries sent envoys to pay tribute, the envoys of Chu State did not pay tribute to anything, and even said confidently that Chu State had obtained a precious white pheasant, which he wanted to present to the Son of Heaven, but he was worried that the journey would be long and the white pheasant would be difficult to achieve. Raise, in case of death on the way, committing the crime of deceiving the king, so please go to the emperor.
This is simply a challenge to the authority of the emperor! Ji Xia was going to explode with anger. If all the princes were like Chu, then he would be the emperor! Although after careful calculation, the cost of the emperor's southern tour was much more expensive than that of the white pheasant, but he knew that the king of Chu was disrespectful to him. The tough way is to take this tribute at all costs and debunk this lie. At the same time, he secretly prepared that if Chu State further resorted to deceitful means to challenge the kingship, it would be resolved by force.
The emperor went on a tour with a large team, and all supplies were sourced on the spot. As a result, the local people suffered, and people complained. After entering the realm of Chu, Ji Xia realized that the so-called white pheasants were nothing. This is the crime of bullying the king, how can Ji Xia show weakness? Immediately ordered to launch an attack on Danyang, the capital of Chu State. Originally, the state of Chu was just playing tricks, thinking that Zhou Tianzi would never come, but now that he has come, he knows that a battle is inevitable, so he was well prepared, and he would not fight if he could not hold on. Master Wang came from a long way, the teachers and soldiers were tired, the supply was insufficient, he could not afford to drag, and he could not win. At this time, Ji Xia originally had two choices. One was to issue a king order and recruit surrounding princes to help in the battle. But giving such an order, Ji Xia's face is not good. After all, it's Master Wang, who can't even win a small vassal state, and still needs someone to help. It's like an adult beating a child. Not only can you not win against a child, but you also need to call someone to help you. Isn't that a declaration of your incompetence? For the second option, Ji Xia did not expect that the state of Chu would dare to confront openly, thinking that when the master of the king arrived, the state of Chu would lose and pay tribute, so there were not many troops with him. At this time, there are still a large number of troops, which can be urgently called. This move also has consequences. It is equivalent to a fight between an adult and a child. You lose a game, and then you use a gun instead of a knife or punch. In the end, even if you win, you won't be able to win.
After balancing the left and right, Ji Xia finally made a decision: to loot the poor people in the Chu realm, and turn these looted things into trophies, show them off all the way, and return to the capital to cast inscriptions.
Of course Ji Xia was unwilling to endure this humiliation. After returning to Beijing, she secretly prepared for the second southern expedition to Jingchu led by the sixth division. The establishment of the emperor's army was the ninth division at that time. In addition to the border guards, Ji Xia brought the sixth division. It can be said that he was dispatched all over the country.
So the monarch of the state of Chu took his son and daughter to go home to fight. As the future son-in-law's son-in-law, Ying Yan saw that his future father-in-law's country was being attacked. He is also busy spending money and providing food to contact allies.
Of course, although the monarch of the state of Chu is a viscount, the national power of the state of Chu is not weak. The people of Chu are "very peaceful among the people of Jianghan and Han" and are the leaders of the Jingchu region. They can unite with the indigenous tribes oppressed by the court to fight the enemy and get the support of allies. . Moreover, Chu State was located in a mountainous area, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which also gave Ji Xia's six divisions a lot of resistance. In addition, the Chu people are flexible and maneuverable in combat, make good use of strategies, fight if they win, run if they fail to win, and are good at guerrilla and sneak attacks. So this battle really took a long time.
Ying Yan didn't have time to think about Tao Yao. He knew that she would always come back. As for whether he was still alive when she came back, it was another matter. On the other hand, Ying Hui often talks about the peach demon in front of Ying Yan. At this time, Ying Yan will become stern and solemn, and glance at Ying Hui coldly. .
Yuan Niang got the news that Tao Yao's husband, Peng Xiao, was sent back to Quan Rong for treatment by Tao Yao due to a sudden illness, so she only hoped that Peng Xiao would get better day and night, and the two of them would live a happy life. As for Tao Yao It has become unimportant whether you come back or not, where you go is not life!
Perhaps only Hu Cang knew the tension between the two demons that day. He was shocked by the demon power and almost died. He didn't want to see the male demon in white again, he was his nightmare! He is too powerful and too terrifying!
Just like that, summer is over, autumn is over, and winter is coming.
The earth was white, and the peach trees in Dushuo Mountain were covered by thick white snow, and occasionally shivered, as if they could not withstand the severe cold. The Chongming bird on the peach tree felt its trembling and said to it, "Hold it up, spring is coming soon!"
The Dapeng flew from the sky again, getting closer and closer, hovering over Dushuo Mountain for a few times and then leaving. He is a demon, the demon who made a lot of trouble in the underworld, and a demon with the same smell as the peach demon. Peng Xiao, Chong Mingniao has known him for thousands of years, and of course they are familiar with him. He left the extreme north, which means that he has forgotten his past, and the Tao Yao has no connection with him, but I don't know if this is true. It's what the peach demon wants.
Whether the forgetting at that time was a last resort, or for the sake of not being involved with each other; if I really wanted to start over again, or if I wanted to be free from fetters, this is not something that Chongming Bird can understand. Even if he was already ranked among the gods, even if he was a close friend, he couldn't guess how delicate things were in the world.
Perhaps, there is nothing to guess, but when it comes to that, only forgetting is the best way. Constantly planting the cause, and constantly producing the fruit, it finally became the situation it is today.
Meng Xiaoxiao would go out of the ghost gate every morning, and look at the peach tree in the golden light with the golden sunrise. As long as it is still there, the underworld is there, and the ghosts will not be chaotic.
The sunrise is beautiful and beautiful. The warm sunshine dispels the chills around, and gilds the peach tree with a touch of gold. At this moment, she suddenly realizes what she has missed all these years. It's not what the people she cares about want, but she insists on it for so many years!
She stubbornly believes that the peach demon needs to be forgotten, calm, and ruthless; she stubbornly believes that Yang Fan needs status, revenge, and supreme majesty. So she became unsmiling, calm and restrained, and lifeless like this hell. But they all need sunlight, warmth, and vitality.
