Wu Dongfang didn't think much about it at first. It was rainy in the south and raining was normal. But soon he felt something was wrong. He had experienced many storms. This was the first time he had seen such thick clouds. It was already dark outside. One piece.
"Has this situation happened before?" Wu Dongfang asked Ming Yue beside him.
"No." Ming Yue shook her head.
"Something's wrong." Wu Dongfang said, putting his quiver on his back, taking the sunset bow and walking out.
"What are you doing?" Ming Yue asked.
"Go to the east courtyard and see if the prince knows what's going on?" Wu Dongfang rushed into the rain.
Braving the rain, I went to the east courtyard and found the prince and Fan Tong taking a nap.
"Don't sleep, get up and look outside." Wu Dongfang pushed the prince to wake up.
"What's wrong?" The prince opened his eyes and glanced at him.
"The rain is not right. It's so dark at noon and it's pitch black outside." Wu Dongfang said.
"If you are not afraid of losing it, you can put the Moon Pearl on the roof." The prince yawned. After yawning, he realized that Wu Dongfang was still carrying the Sunset Bow. "Why are you carrying the bow and arrows?"
"I want to go to heaven and see." Wu Dongfang said.
"Is it your responsibility to take care of the wind or rain?" The prince pouted.
"I can't control the normal wind and rain. I'm worried about some monsters causing trouble." Wu Dongfang said. He killed Lu Wu and has been careful these days.
"Yes, why is it so dark?" The prince then realized that the room was also dark. After speaking, he got up and jumped out of bed, opened the door and looked up at the sky. After more than ten seconds, he retracted his wet head, "It's a monster, but it's not a monster. You must be passing through, the black clouds are heading north."
"What monster?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"What kind of monster can make it rain? Of course it's something like a dragon or a snake." The prince shook his head and became dehydrated.
"I'll go up and take a look." Wu Dongfang opened the door.
"They are just passing by. What are you looking at? Do you want to catch up and ask for money?" the prince shouted.
"Why is it raining while passing by? Demonstrating against us?" Wu Dongfang said. At this time, the south had begun to light up, which meant that the prince was right, this guy was just passing by.
The prince ran out the door, looked up at the sky again, looked left and right, and said nothing for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Ordinary dragons and snakes don't have such heavy moisture. Why don't you go up and have a look and see what they are?" the prince said.
Wu Dongfang originally wanted to go up and have a look. Hearing the words, he lifted up his energy and took off into the air. The condensed rainwater turned into an ice plate and he climbed up. After rising a hundred feet, he entered the fog layer. The fog layer was more than ten meters thick. After passing through the fog layer, his vision suddenly became clear. The sky above The light was bright and the visibility was very good. Looking north, I saw a huge animal flapping its wings a hundred miles away and flying north. This creature was extremely large. I couldn't tell how big it was because there was no reference object and I couldn't tell by visual inspection. It is smaller than a large airplane, has khaki scales, a pair of huge fleshy wings, two giant claws under its belly, and a spine from head to tail on its back. Its neck is not thick, its belly is big, and its tail is unusually thick. , just like a herbivorous dinosaur with pterosaur wings.
"What is this?" Wu Dongfang stared at the huge thing in the distance in confusion. The prince was right. That guy was indeed passing by. He should have come from the south to the north. He didn't even look back when he was flying. I can't see what kind of head it has.
After staying in the sky for more than three minutes, Wu Dongfang floated to the ground, described the monster's shape to the prince, and then looked at the prince, waiting for it to answer his questions.
"How many heads have you grown?" the prince asked.
"One, but I didn't see clearly what the head looked like." Wu Dongfang said.
The prince did not speak immediately, and his expression became very solemn.
"What on earth is that guy?" Wu Dongfang couldn't help but ask.
"I know what it is, but what I'm thinking about now is why did it come out?" the prince said, shaking his head.
"What exactly is it?" Wu Dongfang asked again.
"Yinglong, have you heard of it?" The prince tilted his head and looked at Wu Dongfang.
Wu Dongfang shook his head.
"A very powerful dragon god. He once helped the Yellow Emperor fight against Chi You, and later acted as a lackey for Dayu. He is a god of the Tu tribe." The prince said.
"Which one is more powerful than Lu Wu?" Wu Dongfang asked. The prince called Ying Long a bitch. This guy really had a grudge against Dayu.
"It's not something along the way. There's no way to say which one is more powerful." The prince jumped onto the wooden bed.
"Why do the gods of the Tu tribe live in the realm of the Jin tribe?" Wu Dongfang asked again.
"Hey, what do you want me to say about you? You, the White Tiger Celestial Master, don't even know how big your territory is. You think that the west is your Jin clan's territory." The prince said.
Wu Dongfang didn't ask again. What he was thinking about now was why Yinglong left his place of residence and flew north. If he wanted to go to the Tu tribe, he should fly east. If it was called by a Tu tribe wizard to demonstrate, it didn't make sense. Don't make a fuss about it. , and also exposed his strength.
"It's possible that the Shui tribe had a conflict with the Tu tribe, and the Tu tribe sent them over to suppress it," the prince said.
"If this is the case, the conflict between them must be fierce." Wu Dongfang said, he didn't know how powerful Yinglong was, but if the Tu tribe really wanted to deal with the Jin tribe, Yinglong, who originally lived in the south, would be an ambush of the Tu tribe. If the war situation was not extremely urgent, the Tu tribe would never expose this ambush.
"Never mind it, go ahead and beat him. The worse the beating, the better. It will be good for us if they beat him to a bloody head." The prince yawned.
Wu Dongfang didn't answer the prince's words. He stood up and opened the door for the rice pail. It grunted when it wanted to poop or pee.
By this time, the rain had subsided a lot and the sky was gradually clearing up. To avoid Ming Yue's worries, Wu Dongfang left the woodshed and walked towards the main hall. After peeing in the rice bucket, he did not return to the woodshed and followed him.
Arriving at the entrance of the main hall, Wu Dongfang saw that in addition to Ming Yue, Ming Zhen and another young wizard were sitting in the main hall. Ming Zhen had previously said that the people who went to the Tu tribe to deliver the corpse today would come back. This wizard should be the Ming Zhen mentioned. road.
Seeing Wu Dongfang, the young wizard stood up quickly, walked to him, knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, sit down and talk." Wu Dongfang said. When the other person knelt down, it meant that he was Ming Lu. Ming Lu was on his way to the Tu tribe when he announced the order for the wizard to avoid kneeling.
Ming Lu may have talked with Ming Zhen before and knew what Wu Dongfang wanted to know. After sitting down, he immediately told the story in detail. They did not go to the Xia capital. They were picked up by the Tianshi sent by the Tu tribe when they reached the capital of Yuzhou. Regarding the body, the leading Heavenly Master asked Ming Lu to bring a message to him. The original words were, "Please tell the noble witch that the old man and the young man have been buried on the spot." '
As soon as these words came out, Ming Yue and Ming Zhen looked at Wu Dongfang at the same time. Wu Dongfang sighed. The person who took the body was undoubtedly Yun Ping, and only Yun Ping would say these words to him. The words in Yun Ping's mouth The old man and the young man refer to the little mute who died during the escape and Qinglong Celestial Master Fei Mu.
"Okay, you go back first." Ming Zhen raised his hand towards Ming Lu.
"Wait a minute. Are there any changes in the wizards in Yuzhou and Liangzhou? Are there any signs of them dispatching troops?" Wu Dongfang turned to look at Minglu. Liangzhou is bordering the Jin clan, and Yuzhou is further in.
"When we returned, heavy troops were deployed on the border of Liangzhou, and there was no abnormality in Yuzhou." Ming Lu said.
Wu Dongfang nodded and raised his hand to indicate that Ming Lu could retreat.
After Ming Lu left, Wu Dongfang briefly told Ming Zhen and Ming Yue about Fei Mu and the little mute. After hearing this, the two sighed with regret.
Wu Dongfang told what he had seen before together with the prince's judgment. Ming Zhen did not express his position. The Jin tribe sent messengers to the Tu tribe and the Shui tribe. News would soon come back as to whether the Tu tribe was really at war with the Shui tribe.
The matter came to an end, and there were still more than twenty days before the enthronement ceremony. Wu Dongfang took the opportunity to teach Mingyue how to read. If the Jin tribe wants to rise, they must learn writing. Writing can record events and send messages and communicate. If there is writing, the Jin tribe's Both skills will never be lost.
The three elders of the Jin clan were busy studying the pros and cons of demobilizing the slaves, compensation methods, and how to resettle them. They had never encountered a similar situation before. They considered it carefully and were cautious. They were afraid that the royal family would not agree and that the slaves would escape. In the end, Wu Dongfang was annoyed. , the Jin tribe now has three tribes, all the slaves are freed, and one tribe is added, and they are treated the same as the other three tribes, but the slaves of this tribe are only responsible for cultivating land and growing food, and are not responsible for anything else. The output is guaranteed to each household, and they do not eat from the big pot. Half of the grain grown is turned over, and the remaining half belongs to the individual.
The new tribe was placed in the southwest. It was very desolate and there were too many ferocious beasts. Wu Dongfang was in the capital of the Jin tribe and sent the three elders of the Jin tribe out. They also asked them to take the sunset bow. The sunset bow could not be used by the White Tiger Celestial Master. As long as the Celestial Master can release his spiritual energy, he can draw his bow. When fighting against the outside world, he must first calm down the inside and pacify the country first.
Five days later, the two wizards who went to the Tu tribe to deliver a message came back. They went to inform the Tu tribe and the Jin tribe that they were going to hold the White Tiger Celestial Master's ascension ceremony. They did not see the Xuanhuang Celestial Master, and the Tu tribe did not give a clear answer. They did not say anything. I didn’t say I couldn’t.
They met many people from the Shui tribe who sold horses in Xiadu, which meant that the Tu tribe and the Shui tribe were not at war. Since there was no war, why did the Tu tribe transfer Yinglong to the north
According to the wishes of the three elders of the Jin clan, the release of slaves should be held at the same time as the enthronement ceremony, which is similar to the amnesty for the world when the emperor ascends the throne. This suggestion was rejected by Wu Dongfang, and the slaves were released and sent away before the enthronement ceremony to avoid the enthronement ceremony. It was a chaotic day.
The issue of compensation for slave owners is also easy to handle. Buy a slave for ten coins. If you don't have the money, you will owe it first. It will be on the account of the Jin Sheng Tianshi Mansion. No wizard is willing to go to the new tribe. This is not a problem. It is a hard assignment. The wizards in the capital took turns to go, and it was impossible not to go.
Ten days later, the wizard who went to the Mu Clan came back, and the quasi-Qinglong Celestial Master of the Mu Clan came to watch the ceremony.
The envoy from the Shui Tribe returned the next day, and Master Xuanwu also arrived.
Such news made Wu Dongfang very surprised. Why did they come? Did these guys discuss it in private...
