Li Jinglong: "Let's go back to Liu Qi."
The others looked at it for a moment, and Artest said, "The fourth one fell on me, and I will inquire carefully about it."
Li Jinglong asked Hong Jun: "Where were you born?"
Hong Jun shook his head, and said: "I dreamed that in Hangzhou, my father and Xi prison were talking under the eaves on a rainy day."
Lu Xu said, "That wasn't when you were born."
"Where is the dream?" Hong Jun asked.
Lu Xu shook his head and said, "It's too young, you can't remember things, especially when you were born, you can't set the time."
"Kunshen and Qingxiong may know about it." Hong Jun said, "Ask them when we meet again?"
"Then, there are only these two left in front of us." Li Jinglong said, "According to our speculation, it may be here." Speaking of which, Li Jinglong turned the symbol of "river" to Qinghai.
"Were you born in Qinghai?" Lu Xu asked.
Hong Jun shook his head and said, "My father doesn't seem to have been to Qinghai."
Suddenly Qiu Yongsi asked: "Brother Hualong, was it the Yellow River carp or the Huai River carp? Or the Yangtze River carp? Dongting carp?"
Everyone: "..."
The corner of Hong Jun's mouth twitched, and after a while, everyone was shrouded in a terrifying thought. If the carp demon was born in the first bend of the Jiuqu Yellow River on the Qinghai Plateau, maybe it really is it...
Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally decided that as long as the fourth piece of "river" is found, the fifth piece may be settled. As for the sixth piece related to Artest, its whereabouts are unknown at present, and it should be the most difficult to find, so it will be left to At last.
And the fourth one is at Ruoergai at the border of Liangzhou and Tubo in the north of Sichuan. It just happens to arrive in Chengdu after finishing the work, and then you can go all the way north. Li Jinglong immediately felt a lot more relaxed after the agreement, and left the rest to Artest to worry about.
At night, with the sound of water bubbling, Hong Jun put the lamp aside and looked carefully at the carp demon.
"It's really getting longer." Hong Jun measured it, and the carp demon had grown to two feet six inches, a full four inches more!
"I'll just say yes!" The carp demon said, "Don't disturb me, Baoyuan Shouyi, the horns will grow out next!"
The carp demon was so excited, Hong Jun laughed, touched its fish head, and said, "It's finally come out."
"How long is the dragon?" the carp demon asked, "I have grown four inches in just ten days."
Hong Jun said: "The jiao has seven or eight feet, and the dragon has twelve or thirty feet. Visual inspection."
Four inches in ten days, one foot in forty days, one foot in four hundred days, ten feet in four thousand days... The carp demon shouted excitedly when he thought of it: "In fifteen years, I will grow as long as a dragon... Wait! Another fifteen years?"
Hong Jun: "The key is that if you grow longer and grow to three feet, it will be too big... I can't walk on the street with a three-foot-long carp on my back."
The carp demon suddenly realized a problem, what should he do if he grows longer and grows longer than Li Jinglong in the end? And as the body changes, it seems that the head of the fish will not grow correspondingly, but the body will be elongated, and finally it will look like a rice field eel, and it will not be able to support itself upright, so it has to put down its hands and crawl on the ground. It will scare a lot of people to death.
"That's right, then what should I do!" The carp demon seemed to have collapsed for a moment. There has always been an unwritten rule in the aquarium. Kun looked down on whales and sharks, and those in the sea looked down on those in the river. , Herring is the most noble. Grass eaters look down on mud eaters, just like grass carp look down on carp, carp look down on crucian carp, crucian carp look down on rice field eel, and rice field eel look down on loach. How humiliating would it be for the carp demon to be the same as the rice field eel that he despises the most
But to transform a dragon, short-term humiliation is necessary. The heaven will send a great mission to this fish, and he must first suffer from his will and deeds to mess up his actions. Hong Jun said: "Think about it! If Jackie Chan, there will be no one else. I can look down on you! What is a momentary humiliation?"
The carp demon thinks about it, and even people like Li Jinglong, with the help of a lot of big shots, sometimes rush to the street, so they immediately decide to use the useless Li Jinglong as an example to practice hard.
For several days in a row, the Yangtze River was torrentially raining in summer, and it was rare for everyone to spend a stress-free day. Qiu Yongsi's health gradually improved, and Hong Jun and Li Jinglong stayed together all day long, expressing their love to each other, and Price Cheng was inseparable every day . As long as you see one, you will definitely find the other, either holding hands, or sitting on the other, there are always endless things to say, and everyone's teeth are sore.
"I'm so tired all day long." Mo Zhigen couldn't help but laugh.
After the rain cleared, Ashinaqiong and Mo Zhigen stood in front of the ship's side, while Li Jinglong and Hong Jun leaned side by side behind the deck, watching the green mountains on both sides recede.
Ashinaqiong said: "Hey, why can't I live this kind of life? It's really hard work."
Mo Zhigen glanced at Hongjun and Li Jinglong, and said, "Li Jinglong made Hongjun's soul, so don't even think about it. When will you make one for yourself?"
Ashinaqiong replied: "I want to come, but I have a chance." When Mo Zhigen turned his head, he saw Lu Xu on the deck to ventilate, so he turned around and left the lonely Ashinaqiong .
Ashina Qiong: "..."
Li Jinglong and Hong Jun leaned together, Li Jinglong said: "Chengdu plays a lot, eats a lot, and has many old friends, you must like it."
During the war, a large number of literati and poets left Chang'an and fled to Shu, but Hong Jun missed his old friends Li Guinian and Li Bai. After inquiring, he learned that the two had indeed left Beijing with the prince and emperor. But there were no two of them. However, with Li Bai's skill and Li Guinian's magic power, there must be no danger.
"What kind of person is the prince?" Hong Jun asked suddenly.
"He is a reasonable person." Li Jinglong said, "But he is also reasonable. Don't worry, I will be responsible for negotiating with him. What do you like about the land of China?"
These days, Li Jinglong and Hong Jun completely poured out their emotions after their reunion after a long absence. They said many things over and over that Li Jinglong was very interested in the new place of the Yaozu for some reason. Nothing happened during the journey, so I asked Hongjun about the history of the demon clan for many years.
When Hongjun lived in Yaojin Palace when he was a child, he often pestered Chongming to tell him stories. Every time Qingxiong went to Taihang Mountain, he would ask questions about this and that. Over time, he learned about it from the Demon King. In more detail.
Qiu Yongsi overheard a conversation between Hong Jun and Li Jinglong when he came out for a walk, so he followed him and listened for a while. Gradually, the exorcists were fine anyway, so they all gathered to listen to Hong Jun's storytelling. The history of the monster clan has been mentioned before, but the carp monster is just a small monster, so what it knows naturally cannot be compared with super big monsters like Chongming and Qingxiong.
"... So in fact, the demon king can only appear from two places." Hong Jun said, "One is the bird clan in Yaojin Palace; the other is the water clan in Benming Palace."
"Is there any more?" Ashina Qiong said, "No way."
"It's long gone." Hong Jun said, "Because of a past incident many years ago, a dragon in the Benming Palace betrayed the whole clan, so there was a big battle. Later, the Benming Palace was destroyed and the dragon clan scattered..."
"I know this legend." Qiu Yongsi said, "A long time ago, when the human race had not yet multiplied in the land of Shenzhou. After the temple was destroyed and the dragon god died, the dragons became kings on their own, and then there was a great battle between mountains and seas... "
"Tell me in detail?" Li Jinglong was very interested in this period of history.
"I can't go into details." Hong Jun said, "It's been too long. At that time, there were no words, and even Kun God hadn't developed his spiritual wisdom yet."
If you ask the first intelligent creatures to appear in the world, they are dragons and phoenixes. Before there were human races, these ancient residents of the Chinese mainland were active in the Central Plains, Western Regions, and even further overseas. According to Chongming, in the far east, beyond the country of Izumo, beyond the vast sea, there is a vaster land and territory.
According to the historical records of previous dynasties, leaving the Western Regions and passing through the endless yellow sand and mist, there is another land where a large number of Semu people who speak different languages from the Central Plains live. Hong Jun talked further and further away, while Chen Feng held Little Phoenix in his arms and listened with admiration.
For an ordinary adult, it must be unimaginable, but Chen Feng is still young now, and he even witnessed Li Jinglong expelling the demon with his own eyes. No matter what Hong Jun said, he took it for granted.
Qiu Yongsi added: "After the Mountain and Sea War, the Dragon Clan obeyed the agreement and was imprisoned in the Dragon Town Pagoda..."
"Not all dragons." Hong Jun said, "but the Shui tribe was once weak, and the monster tribe gradually grew. The dragons, phoenixes and other tribes agreed to enshrine a spirit beast as king to rule the monster tribe. As for who has the subordinates? , I'm not quite sure."
Li Jinglong has already vaguely guessed the inside story-after the dragon and the jiao gradually stopped managing the aquarium, they were replaced by Kun God to lead most of the aquatic creatures, replacing the dragon. And "Feng" deservedly occupied the Yaojin Palace and became the Demon King. Sure enough, as Hong Jun said, many generations ago, although the Yaojin Palace was the place where the demon king lived and led the demon clan in the name of the "Three Sages", gradually, because it was located on the top of Taihang Mountain, it was beyond the reach of the entire clan.
Just as dynasties change in the world, monsters will naturally rebel, especially when they meet Chongming, a king who doesn't care about things. After this thousand-year nirvana, the monsters don't care much about Yaojin Palace anymore. Two hundred years ago, at the end of the northern and southern separatist regimes, Emperor Yangdi ruled, and Xie Prison escaped from Zhenlong Pagoda. In the troubled times, he gathered monsters to declare war on Yaojin Palace.
It was Ye Zhongming who was defeated by Xie Prison and retreated to Yaojin Palace, completely losing his position as Demon King...
"So, we must re-lead the demon clan." Li Jinglong said, "You can no longer live high on the Taihang Mountains and don't ask about human affairs."
"Hey." Qiu Yongsi said, "Why do I think... Kun God is the biggest winner in these years."
Li Jinglong winked at Qiu Yongsi, telling him not to say that in front of Hong Jun, Hong Jun thought about it, but said: "It seems that my father didn't like Kun God very much before, and he didn't even let him come to Yaojin Palace .”
Li Jinglong said: "He is too smart, and he can see the future, so it will always make people feel unsafe."
Hong Jun said to everyone: "But Qingxiong and Kunshen have always been very good."
Li Jinglong said: "What I think is that since we have started this way, we will simply let the Yaozu stabilize. Hong Jun is right. The Yaozu is not a guest, but the owner of this Shenzhou. After choosing the address, we will assist the Yaozu clan, build a new city, and the two clans strive to live in peace, so as to ensure peace in the world.”
Compared with the first time when he encountered monsters such as Wu Qiyu and Fei Mastiff, Li Jinglong's state of mind is different now. Hongjun is a monster, and Chaoyun is also a monster. What they need to fight against is the "demon" that erodes people's hearts and the monster clan. ".
Just at this moment, the boat passed by outside Wushan, and the turbulent river was rushing. The boatman tried his best to steer and shake the river, and everyone stopped discussing, got up one after another, and looked at both sides of the river. At that time, the clouds and mists cleared up, and the green hills on both sides of the strait came out facing each other. The scene was magnificent and majestic.
It was the first time for the exorcists to enter Shu, and it was also the first time they saw this magnificent scene. They were all amazed immediately.
Standing on the side of the boat, Hong Jun looked up at the Goddess Peak, his heart was full of pride, he felt the magnificence of the world, and he was like a mayfly in the sea.
"I think it's a good place here." Li Jinglong said with a smile, "I chose the southeast gate of Bashu as a location, like living away from the world, and the aura of heaven and earth is also abundant. Remember the place of dragon veins we looked for on the map? Wu Gorge is one of them."
"That's right." Hong Jun didn't know why, but he always felt familiar with Goddess Peak looking at the east, and said, "The aura of heaven and earth is so strong here."
The rapids on the river, suddenly there are countless calls, I saw a huge snake spread its wings, leading hundreds of snakes, coming with the boat.
"It's Chaoyun!" Hong Jun said, "Chaoyun is back!"
The boatmen yelled in horror, but Li Jinglong signaled not to worry, and saw a group of snakes undulating on the river, guarding the big boat to cross the Goddess Peak. Until nightfall, Chao Yunfang boarded the boat and reported the situation to Chao Hongjun. The exorcists entered Shu, the land of Bashu has not been warped for a long time, it is like a paradise, but the Central Plains is still full of wars.
Although An Lushan had been put to death, the rebellion continued, and the remaining troops led by Shi Siming were still on their way to Hangu Pass. Ge Shuhan is dead, Guo Ziyi fought with Shi Siming, learned that Chang'an had fallen, and withdrew his troops to help, and the court temporarily moved to Lingwu, where the prince supervised the country, and Li Longji fled to Shu. Now the Tang army and the rebel army are temporarily stalemate. Both sides stood still, while Shi Siming went to look for Anlu Mountain.
As for the remnants of Anlu Mountain, they escaped from Hangu Pass by surrounding him. Looking at the route, it might be...
"Wait." Li Jinglong instantly realized a question, "An Lushan is not dead yet?"
"No." Zhao Yun replied.
"What happened?!" Everyone was shocked.
"God Kun said," Chaoyun said, "That is no longer Anlu Mountain, but Xiong Prison."
Xie Prison occupied An Lushan's body, and Yang Guozhong's body was completely abandoned in the Battle of Chang'an. Xie Prison had to send Jiao's soul in An Lushan's body and fled to Luoyang. After entering Luoyang, he disappeared. At this time, Qingxiong sent birds to monitor the ruined Luoyang City.
"It's in Luoyang City." Chao Yun said to everyone, "The bird couldn't find its whereabouts on the ground, so it must have hid in the ground. Master Qingxiong decided to hold back for the time being, and wait for everyone to find the six weapons before gathering and annihilating them." Of."
"Is Xie Prison absorbing magic energy?" Li Jinglong asked.
Chaoyun shook his head, with confusion in his eyes, and said: "I didn't see this move. God Kun said that it was because the demon seed was severely injured by the heart lamp, and it could no longer gather the demon energy for a short time, but the demon seed will gradually carry out self-control. Repair, so let everyone, or as soon as possible."
Following the same order as Fudo Mingwang, Li Jinglong nodded. When you are not sure about completely eradicating the Xie Prison, you should not act rashly, otherwise, once it is alarmed, you will be escaped from the Divine State by the Xie Prison, even if you escape overseas, and return after the demon seed is repaired, it will inevitably be another bloodbath.
Yuan Kun asked Qingxiong to lead his subordinates to monitor the movement of the prison, and then went to various parts of Shenzhou. The ghost king led the army to track down the whereabouts of the remnants of the An Party. Once found, he would launch a charge. Yuan Kun looked for the monsters controlled by An Lushan's devilish energy one by one, subdued them, and waited for Hongjun to choose a site to establish a monster's territory before letting them come.
"Master Qingxiong said," Chaoyun explained, "If we can't find a place, we can make our capital Luoyang, which is also possible."
"It's absolutely impossible!" Everyone immediately changed their expressions.
"Luoyang, the capital of demons, Chang'an on earth." Chaoyun said with a blank face, "There is Taihang Mountain in the middle, and everyone occupies half of China, which is very reasonable. Everyone likes it very much, why not?"
Li Jinglong: "..."
"No." Hong Jun rejected the proposal, saying, "Because I don't like Luoyang."
"Oh—" Chaoyun immediately nodded and said, "Then what do you like?"
"A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters." Hong Jun frowned and explained, "A place where the world is full of aura, the world of mortals bothers me."
"That's true." Chao Yun quickly replied, "Actually, I like it too."
The backs of all the exorcists were covered in cold sweat, and they thought that fortunately, Hong Jun's "don't like it" saved the fate of the land of Shenzhou being occupied by the monster race, and it was obviously more effective than finding a bunch of reasons. family, Li Heng would never agree, and in the end only swords and soldiers meet each other.
Hong Jun didn't expect the demon kings to be so enthusiastic. At first he bit the bullet and agreed, but now he has to hurry, otherwise Qingxiong might have to stay in Luoyang until the prison is solved. Chaoyun also reported to the prince to reorganize the civil and military officials of the court, and rushed to Chengdu in person, preparing to sacrifice to heaven in Chengdu and accept the succession of the throne.
