In the empty palace of the imperial court in the capital, there was dust everywhere, and Shunde stood barefoot in the flat and dusty hall.
"La la la..." She hummed a song and walked quickly on the ground as if she was in a happy mood. When she was about to board the top dragon chair, she suddenly turned around and stretched out her hand behind her, "Zhu Ling, come here."
Shunde's fingertips are attached to a blue silk thread. The silk thread was attached to a person's eyebrows behind Shunde.
Zhu Ling, who had been killed by the Great National Teacher, actually "lived" again!
He was still wearing the black armor and iron clothes from the past and walked towards Shunde. It was just that his expression was sluggish, with a lifeless black-blue color on his face, the silk thread between his eyebrows signed the fingertips of Princess Shunde, and the princess of Shunde took the initiative to move his fingers, and he took a step or two forward.
The skin on his arm was glowing with a faint blue light. Following the thread of Shunde, I sat on the dusty dragon chair.
Shunde looked at Zhu Ling, the corners of his mouth curved, his brows grinned: "Look, this court belongs to Bengong." She said, "Bengong lets you sit, you can sit, and whoever Bengong wants to sit, Anyone can sit."
As she spoke, she moved another finger, and Ji Chengyu stepped out on the silk thread linked by her fingertips.
Like Zhu Ling, his skin was glowing with blue light, his eyes were dull, and a blue silk thread was attached between his eyebrows.
"Bengong remembers that you used to be very good friends. His brother betrayed the imperial master's mansion and became a monk. He was bullied at the master's mansion, but you helped him. Later, you saved this palace, and also Your face is ruined, others are afraid of you, but he comes to see you every day. Your friendship is like brothers, and the throne will sit together. "
Shunde said, hooking his fingertips and letting Ji Chengyu sit down on the throne next to Zhu Ling.
"That's great." Shunde's lips raised, and the smile was so weird that it was chilling, "It's great that people in this world are so obedient."
She turned around and walked inside and outside the temple, stepping on the dust on the ground with her bare feet.
In the palace, there was a dead silence.
The horizontal corpses and broken wood on the ground show the panic that this place has experienced before.
Shunde took a deep breath, she raised her hand, the blue silk thread was pulled down, and a black crow was dragged into Shunde's hand: "Come on, darling, tell Ben Gong, what news is there in the north? I finally pinched my puppets, it's time to take them out for a walk..."
…
After Lin Haoqing dropped the news that Princess Shunde was about to come to the North, the preparations for the North became more and more tense.
On the day he laid the stakes for the last checkpoint on the border, Ji Yunhe also saw Ji Ning, an old man who had escaped from the capital, outside the checkpoint.
After this complicated turmoil, the young boy has matured a lot. When he left the north and returned to the capital, he still had confusion about the future and doubts about himself in his eyes. Now, Ji Yunhe can't see it in his eyes. Such an emotion.
In a short period of time, he entered the northern border for the second time. This young disciple of the National Teacher's House experienced Ji Chengyu's death, and he seemed to have grown up suddenly.
"A Ji." Ji Ning still called Ji Yunhe the same way, "Princess Shunde has gone crazy... She used her magic to create a lot of puppets, and then used puppets to kill people... People in the capital..." Ji Ning's expression was still the same when she said this. A little trembling, he took a deep breath, "They're all dead. They... they've all become Shunde's marionettes..."
Ji Yunhe was silent for a moment, then she asked solemnly, "How many?"
"Uncountable..."
"How much can she control?"
"I can control... those puppets... thousands of them, listen to her. I managed to escape from the capital... "
Seeing Ji Ning mentioning this, his whole body began to tremble involuntarily. Ji Yunhe patted him on the shoulder and reassured him, "Don't think about it, you will rest for a while in the North..."
"I also brought a friend here." He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Yunhe with bright eyes, "I hope I can help you..." Ji Ning turned to let Ji Yunhe see the person behind him, Ji Yunhe. startled...
At the right time, the sun was setting, and the sunset was all over the sky. As Ji Yunhe laid down the last pillar of the barrier, the black fox fire, still aided by the formation, burned a huge fox fire torch that went straight to the sky.
On the edge of the black flame, the orange flames unfolded one after another, and an unbreakable flame city wall was erected in the south of the north. The sunset will recede, and the gradually dark northern night will illuminate.
Ji Yunhe stood behind the flaming city wall, looked at the two people who were still wearing the clothes of the National Teacher's Office, and said, "I will take you to the North City."
…
The flame city wall on the northern border is so high that it reaches the sky. Between the city walls, only the gate made of black iron can be opened.
A few days later, after the meeting in the main hall of all the principals in the north, they finally issued an order prohibiting the refugees from re-entering the north. The dozens of gates from the north to the south all closed the gates, and for a while outside the border, there were mourning and devastation everywhere.
At the same time, Chang Yi didn't really wake up, he kept sleeping.
Kong Ming and others tried their best to conceal the news of Changyi's deep sleep, lest it disturb the military's heart.
Several people have seen Ji Ning, and learned a vital piece of news from Ji Ning - the Thunder Fire magma that erupted in the north before may be Shunde's nemesis.
The five elements of Shunde are wood, and the power of the Qingluan and the great masters she sucks are also the attributes of wood. Fire spells restrain her the most. And thunderfire magma is the most fiery fire in the world, which can burn all things.
After Ji Yunhe learned about this, he took Lin Haoqing and Kong Ming to the outside of Beijing City.
When the Thunderfire magma spewed out before, Changyi used magic to condense an ice wall, preventing the magma from flowing into the northern city. After the magma cooled, the black stones were exposed on the mountain, like the wings of the mountains, forming a long platform around the winding mountain.
Previously, Changyi had ordered people to build weapons on it for defense purposes.
Lin Haoqing explored the rocks on the mountain, and his eyes brightened immediately: "This stone is made of thunder and fire magma, which can be made into weapons, or it can restrain the puppets that Shunde condensed with magic."
Kong Ming nodded: "I'll go back now and let people pick up this rock and make weapons."
"Is there still thunderfire magma on the northern mountain?" Lin Haoqing asked.
"Well. After the magma erupted before, I sent someone to investigate on the mountain. There is still a hole in the mountain. The inside is extremely hot, and the magma that is still exposed is tumbling."
Lin Haoqing held the Thunder Fire Rock in his hand, and he looked at Ji Yunhe: "You and this lava may be the lifeblood of this world."
The three explored the location of the magma on the mountain. The magma was surging, and there was still a distance of ten feet from the entrance of the cave. They felt the heat was very hot, and their skin seemed to be burned. The snow on the top of the snow mountain does not melt all year round, but at the crater, there are all exposed rocks that have been burned and cracked, not to mention the snow, not even the grass and trees.
Kong Ming and Lin Haoqing couldn't resist the scorching heat, so they were forced to stop more than ten feet away. Ji Yunhe protected her body with a fox fire. She said to them, "I'll go to the entrance of the cave and check the terrain first."
The two of them did not suspect him, and waited quietly for Ji Yunhe in the same place.
Ji Yunhe's figure gradually disappeared into the billowing smoke.
She stepped all the way to the side of the thunderfire magma, and the scorching breath made her extremely uncomfortable.
But whenever she felt that her body was about to be torn apart by the flames, there was always a coldness in her heart that protected her heart. Ji Yunhe was a bit familiar with this feeling. Back then, when she was burned by the thunder fire magma, Chang Yi took her to the Frozen Sea to heal her wounds, and it was this feeling when she took Hai Lingzhi.
She touched her heart.
She still remembered that when Shunde took Changyi back to the capital in the frozen sea, she swallowed a sea lingzhi and forcibly left the frozen sea. After that, Hailingzhi had no effect on her body, and she had almost forgotten about it, but it turned out that at this time, Hailingzhi was still protecting her...
Ji Yunhe smiled, she has been sheltered by the sea a lot in her life.
Ji Yunhe held the silver pearl around his neck.
She looked at the thunderfire lava below, and the rolling lava showed the power of nature.
Under such enormous power, she is so small and vulnerable...
She crouched down, and with her fingertips, quietly drew a formation at the crater.
…
"Why did you go for so long?" When Ji Yunhe came back, Kong Ming was a little dissatisfied with her, "Just looking at the terrain, it took so much time?"
Ji Yunhe smiled: "I said I took a bath in the Thunder Fire magma, do you believe it?"
Sora understood her and turned his head away, not wanting to chat with her any more, but Lin Haoqing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ji Yunhe in surprise: "Really?"
Ji Yunhe glanced at him: "Naturally, it can't be taken seriously. Thunderfire magma can burn everything. If I jump in, you won't even be able to fish out the bones."
"Naturally I'm too lazy to fish for you." Kong Ming turned and left, "Have you seen the terrain clearly?"
"Yeah." Ji Yunhe said, "It's exactly a circle. For the test, Shunde came from the south. If the border is broken, I can lure her here."
"You?" Kong Ming raised his eyebrows, "Princess Shunde has inherited the wish of a great national teacher. She wants to kill everyone in the world now. How do you know that if you lead her, she will come?"
Ji Yunhe curled his lips proudly: "Shunde is a narrow-minded person, she can't forget her hatred for me."
…
The three returned to the North City from the mountain, but what they didn't expect was that in the side hall where there was almost no one on duty, the news that Chang Yi was not awake, even in the short half-day they went to the mountain, it was like a plug. Like wings, it flew out of the demon control platform and spread throughout the northern city.
No matter how Kongming and the others wanted to block the news, even if they were separated by a flame barrier, the news was still known to the world.
The merman fell into an unknown deep sleep.
For so many years, Changyi is no longer just the simple identity of the Lord for the people of the North. Especially after the last Thunderfire Lava Rebellion in the Northern Territory, Changyi was even said to be a guardian from the sea.
The North is used to the protection of powerful mermen. And now, they have lost that protection.
The people in the north suddenly became a little chaotic. Kong Ming got angry and wanted to find out the person who spread the news from the demon control platform. For him, this meant that there were ghosts in places that he could not detect, which touched his bottom line. .
He became busier than ever. Luo Jinsang was worried about his body, but Kongming was emotionally in control of others. Only with Luo Jinsang, he could rarely control his emotions.
As optimistic as Luo Jinsang, he was scolded to the extreme by him.
It was night, in the side hall.
Chang Yi was still sleeping, Kong Ming and Luo Jinsang came to discuss matters, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw Ji Yunhe who was wiping Chang Yi's face lying on the bed, Kong Ming was angry: "He's not awake, you But he can hold his breath!" Then he glared at Lin Haoqing again: "Didn't he say that he would wake up after using Shewei grass? Now why is this?"
Lin Haoqing glanced at Chang Yi on the bed: "His pulse is stable, why he is not awake, I don't know."
Kongming rubbed his eyebrows, and he didn't close his eyes for two days, which made him look very tired.
Luo Jinsang next to him frowned: "You are a bald donkey and not an iron donkey, you go to bed, don't talk about this tonight." She said that she was going to pull Kongming's sleeves, but Kongming was a little irritable. He brushed Luo Jinsang away.
"Don't make trouble." He never looked at Luo Jinsang.
Seeing this, Ji Yunhe raised his eyebrows and called Luo Jinsang, who was puffed up, "Jin Sang, come to me, I need you."
"Humph!" Luo Jinsang snorted heavily at Kong Ming, then walked towards Ji Yunhe angrily. But when passing by Lin Haoqing's side, Lin Haoqing's sword suddenly shook.
Lin Haoqing took out his sword: "Si Yu has news."
This sword is the real body of Lin Haoqing's demon servant Siyu. They were in the North Realm City, and Siyu had been lurking in the capital, and told them the news of Shunde in this way as quickly as possible.
Lin Haoqing drew the formation on the ground. He sat on the ground, holding the sword on his knees, he closed his eyes: "Siyu..." He just uttered two words, suddenly! Lin Haoqing frowned fiercely. The formation under him turned to emit a strange and eerie light.
This has never been the case!
Ji Yunhe and Kong Ming suddenly looked solemn.
Luo Jinsang also forgot his anger just now, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
No one answered her, and time seemed to freeze between Lin Haoqing's frowning more and more tightly.
Between the electric light and flint, outside the Demon Control Platform, a gust of wind rose flat on the ground and slammed open the window of the side hall. The wind whistled in, pulling the clothes and hair of everyone in the house into chaos.
It was also at this time that Lin Haoqing's formation was brilliant.
"Got you!"
An extremely sharp female voice pierced into everyone's ears, and everyone felt a headache and covered their ears.
Ji Yunhe quickly recognized the voice: "Shunde..." She frowned, her fists clenched tightly.
"I found you! Hahahaha!" The laughter accompanied the wind and danced wildly through the house, destroying all the objects in the house. Luo Jinsang's inner breath was not as good as the others, but his throat was agitated by the sound in the wind, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. Kongming immediately raised his hand, took her into his arms, and covered her ears for her.
Ji Yunhe was in the gust of wind, with a seal in his hand, and a black foxfire drew a circle to seal the window that was blown open, and the gust of wind suddenly stopped in the house.
Luo Jinsang leaned against Kong Ming's arms, looking at Kong Ming's worried eyes, Luo Jinsang gritted her teeth, she sat up bravely, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: "I'm fine..."
On the other side, Ji Yunhe chased to the window and heard the sharp voice hovering in the air, laughing wildly: "I will come to you soon."
With the disappearance of Shunde's voice, the light of the formation under Lin Haoqing disappeared, and the long sword in front of him made a crisp "click" sound, and a long mouth broke out of the sword!
Lin Haoqing opened his eyes abruptly, as if he had been severely injured, his face was pale, sweating like rain, and his body was trembling slightly as he endured the severe pain.
He held the long sword, looked at the cut on the sword, and clenched his teeth, but after all, he couldn't hold back the blood in his heart, and he actually vomited blood with a "wow".
The blood fell on the long sword, as if he had just killed someone, shocking.
"Shunde is coming soon." After a long time, Lin Haoqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "She found Siyu and found me through her."
"Where's Siyu?" Ji Yunhe asked.
Lin Haoqing lowered his head and looked at the long sword in his hand. Above the long sword, the broken mouth almost broke the long sword. Lin Haoqing put the sword into the scabbard silently.
"Get ready to deal with it." He got up and left without giving a positive answer.
Ji Yunhe's fist clenched slightly, but at this moment, to everyone's surprise, the barrier that reached the sky suddenly emitted a huge light, and everyone in the house couldn't help but look outside.
The sky outside was illuminated by the flames of the border. It was not until a long time later that everyone heard a dull crashing sound from the air. The barrier on the border was like a city gate, and now... this city gate has been banged. now...
"Shunde..." Lin Haoqing covered his heart, looking at the blood-colored sky dyed red by the fire, "Here it is."
