Volume 17 Chapter 8 Lotus Flowers Bloom
On the fifteenth day of August, the Demonic Heaven, Gulang Gobi.
A sunset fell on the desolate horizon, as if floating or sinking, and the shadows were dim. It was like a beautiful woman in her late twilight, and the rosy brilliance gradually faded from her cheeks.
The wind and sand sank, I stood with my hands behind my back, looking at the sunset. Luo Shengtian's last survivor sat around the ground, silent. Wuhen, Langsen, Yin Wuxie, Murong Yushu and Peanut Pi were all safe and sound. The Cowherd was holding Everest's body and was lying lazily on his back, his elbow and pillow, and kept yawning.
"Will Chu Du come?" Gan Ningzhen walked from behind.
"I will definitely do it. Because he is definitely not someone who cannot afford to lose." I said firmly. Today is the full moon, the Gobi Desert, and it is the heavenly valley where the Demonic Heaven leads to the auspicious Heaven.
Gan Ningzhen looked at the leader of Luo Shengtianzhe: "Will Chu Du lead his troops to bring them?"
"Impossible. The January deadline has come, how could Chu Du play a rogue again? He still has this kind of mind. Moreover, he doesn't want to provide Jixiangtian with an excuse to send troops."
Six days ago, we broke through Yangmei Mountain and received a response from Zhu Geliang, and escaped from the secret path he dug in advance. With the help of nearly a hundred mysterious masters, we bypassed the numerous blockades, threw away the pursuers, hid all the way, and finally successfully arrived at the sky valley.
After this battle, Rashengtian had only seventy-six people left, including twenty-two Valkyrie in the Sea Palace. Because the invitees of the Lotus Society could only bring three followers, the extra people had to be arranged by Zhu Geliang to take them to find a hiding place and find a way to escape from the Demonic Sword Heaven in the future.
"I'm really worried about handing over the sisters to that sinister little demon." Hai Ji murmured in a low voice.
"Brother Zhu Liang will not be detrimental to them. Jixiangtian will try his best to protect Luo Shengtian's last bloodline." I comforted her, and suddenly felt a warning sign. I looked straight ahead three feet away.
The gravel on the ground slowly shook, erecting upwards, as if a door was opened, and two figures jumped out one after another. At the moment, one person was thin, with a ragged robe, and a sad mask on his face. Behind was an old man in jealous clothes, carrying a medicine basket, and the little white rabbit on the ground stuck out his tongue at me, and then he was frowning at Hai Ji and Gan Ningzhen.
"Sun Simiao! Afanti!" I said in surprise and immediately understood. They must have received an invitation from Jixiangtian. Afanti is the demon king, while Sun Simiao is a master of medical skills, so of course he is qualified to participate in the Lotus Society.
Sun Simiao nodded kindly to us. Afan looked at me for a while and sighed: "I didn't expect that the nameless boy from the past has now become a sensational figure in the North."
I smiled and said, "It's hard not to be famous if you go against Chu Du. Is your junior sister okay?"
"Junior sister went half a month ago." Afanti said silently for a moment, "When she was rescued, the junior sister would have been out of place. If Lao Sun hadn't been delaying for a few years with his magical medical skills, she would have been gone long ago."
I didn't show any expression: "It's all caused by Ye Liubing."
Hearing Ye Liubing's name, Afanti's eyes hopped slightly: "I heard that you severely injured Ye Liubing in Luoshengtian. A few days ago, with one man's strength, he rescued the leader of the Luoshengtian people from thousands of troops. Aren't you afraid of offending Chu Du?"
I said lightly: "You are here to the Lianhua Club. Are you not afraid of Ye Liubing paying tribute to you?"
Afanti and I looked at each other for a long time, a smile flashed in their eyes: "You are different from the past."
I pondered for a moment and said, "I remember you said if we meet again."
"You are my friend." Avanti interrupted me and said slowly, "Tell me what you need."
Talking to smart people is simple. I said, "I can kill Ye Liubing for you."
Afanti did not rush to agree and asked back, "Your strength has already exceeded me, what else can I give you?"
I hesitated for a while, stepped forward, approached him, and whispered: "What can you give to someone who can make the Sharo iron tree blossom?"
"What?" Even though Afanti was so cunning, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What are you kidding?"
"I won't joke about this kind of thing. Otherwise, why would I go against Chu Du? What can I get?"
"This is impossible! How could there be two?"
"One of them is naturally fake. I also find it strange, why can Chudu make the Sharo iron tree bloom? But I can assure you that every word I say is true. Who would lie like this? And be willing to take the risk of being incompatible with the No. 1 gesture in the North?"
Afanti gasped for a few quick breaths, his eyes changed, and he said for a long time: "Only madmen and fools do this. You are obviously not."
"I have secretly received the recognition of the Longyan Bird." This sentence shocked Afanti again. After a while, he calmed down.
"Our interests are completely consistent. We do not knock down Chu Du's protective umbrella
:;How big is the hope of hatred? Think about how many years of suffering you have to endure."
Afanti's knuckles were white, and I smiled: "Go and surrender to Chu Du. I need a trusted friend to become Chu Du's counselor. With the current situation of Moshatian, Chu Du needs talents like you, and will not care about the grudges between you and Ye Liubing."
"So, I need your wisdom to help me get back what should be mine. This is a friend's request." I said gently, "It is also what the future Lord of the Earth Demons asks you."
"Think about it, smart people will not go against the will of heaven." I smiled and slowly retreated, and my eyes turned to the distance.
The setting sun slowly disappeared on the horizon, and the Gobi Desert was hidden in the darkness. Chu Du and the four demon kings arrived together, and the atmosphere around immediately became tense and depressing. Luo Shengtian and others gathered in circles, their faces filled with alertness.
"Brother." I greeted Bichaoge intimately, and Ye Liubing's cold eyes wandered between me and Afanti.
Chu Du glanced at me deeply: "You are becoming more and more impressive to Chu." His tone was like a surging torrent under the calm sea. I knew that there was no room for maneuver between us.
I said calmly: "Your Excellency is too much. I am just lucky. Luck is a gift from God, and no one can barely come."
Chu Du suddenly smiled slightly: "Speaking of it, I want to thank you for making Chu a success."
I smiled and waited for his later words.
"Chu finally understood that life requires a failure." Chu Du walked past me with a lush aura and leisurely spirit, which was more unfathomable than in the past. This blow actually dramatically improved his Taoist realm.
Looking back at his back, I suddenly said, "For example - like my master?"
Chu Du's body suddenly stopped and I sneered silently in my heart.
"Dong-dong-dong" A strange drum sound suddenly came from a distance. "Dong-dong-dong", the drum sound became faster and faster, and became more and more urgent, as if urging the moon to rise faster.
With the rhythm of the drum beats, dark blue waves emerged on the edge of the distant Gobi Desert, pure and transparent, with a flash of light, and soon connected together. When the full moon rose in the middle of the sky, it had become a brilliant sea.
"The Star Sea has appeared!" Gan Ningzhen said in a voice. Everyone rushed towards the beach.
"Burn dry firewood with bamboo needles through twine thread. When you come, buy pearls and jade, and go back and walk on the clouds and smoke." An ancient and bizarre song floated from the sea, and a canoe slowly sailed. The boat was so bottomless, and the rowing straw raincoat stood lightly in the boat. The hemp shoes were not touching the water.
The man waved to us: "Dear guests from the Lotus Club, please get on the boat."
From the outside, the narrow canoe is only two feet long and less than two feet wide. But dozens of people boarded the boat and didn't feel crowded, as if more people could accommodate it. The soles of our feet seemed to be steadily supporting us through a transparent air curtain.
As he was about to set off, a figure rushed over and landed on the boat like an eagle. He was wrapped in his miserable green robe, his triangular face was deeply engulfed, and his eyes were shining with a faint green light. Although he stood still, his body kept undulating and shaking, like a ball of green earth flames.
"The owl cried?" Afanti, Longyan Bird and other demon kings shouted at the same time.
The water waves are blue, reflecting mottled starlight. The canoe sails towards the depths of the starry sea, and the sea suddenly tilts down like a hillside. The canoe rushes along the way, sliding on a ball like a storm, giving life a wonderful feeling of falling.
“?..
"Home Affairs." The man answered casually.
Wuyan smiled and said, "Dao is a common thing." This kid is from the famous Rasho family, and it is easier to play a maneuver than tofu.
"Young Master is aware. But what is the common thing in the family? What is the matter in the world? Since you are already obsessed with it, how can you talk about it?"?..
Wuyan pondered silently. Obviously he was questioned by the official.
Lang Sen snorted, "So, according to what you said, what is the common matter?" Die. From then on, he could only go into exile and live under someone else's roof, but he was unwilling to surrender to Jixiangtian easily, and he could not lose to the other party in the discussion?...
The man smiled and said, "By a family heart."
Lang Sen was speechless, Murong Yushu's eyes turned and said with a smile: "Dare you ask?...What is family matter?" There is a clear definition.
The man patted the straw raincoat: "The little old man's straw raincoat is three pounds and two ounces."
I secretly shouted to myself, treating the empty and harsh questions. This indirect answer is much more clever and powerful than the direct answer, which makes people unable to refute it. Murong Yushu smiled embarrassedly and stepped back.
"It turns out that you have three pounds and two ounces in your heart." As soon as you said that, everyone was shocked.
Dozens of eyes gathered on Chu Du and me.
When we looked at each other, Chu Du and I showed complicated expressions at the same time. This retaliation?... Feng turned out to be what we both said at the same time.
The man was stunned and smiled bitterly
He is worthy of being the devil lord who dominates the northern territory and is worthy of being the most outstanding rising star in the northern territory."
Luo Shengtian and others were speechless. Unexpectedly, Chu Du and I were the ones who fought against the Tao.
The canoe happened to be docked at this time.
A bright moon hangs high in the clear night sky like blue ice, with colorful clouds lingering, and a long silver-white staircase hanging from the moon and extending to us.
I was stunned. Jixiangtian is in the moon? I must have not woken up yet. I pushed me and Hai Ji giggled, "Are you stupid? I came with my sister many years ago. I was even more surprised than you."
As I climbed up the ladder, I was wandering in a dream with light intertwined light. The starry sea below slowly disappeared like a tide receding, turning into a vast and deep void.
Stepping into the middle of the moon, I entered the auspicious sky.
The quiet place is filled with fragrance, and in the field of view are endless lotus ponds with brilliance. The water of the pond is milky white and smoke is produced, and the lotus is shining golden, as big as an umbrella, blooming countless auspicious auras. The round sound of the lotus has attracted everyone from the listening to the Dharma to look at him.
"It turns out that the Demon Lord is coming, and it is a mistake to welcome him." Elder Ding smiled slightly: "Right and wrong come from others."
"Since it's because of someone, wouldn't Lianhua cause trouble?" Chu Du said lightly.
I thought the show was about to begin. Chu Du was sure to find the scene of Mo Shatian’s defeat this time. Sure enough, both sides fought and started a fierce debate.
"Ning Zhen, you are here too." Young Master Ying came and greeted us one by one with a smile. While everyone was talking, Yin Wuxie gave me a secret wink and stood up and left.
I waited for a while, saw no one paying attention, and followed quietly.
"You did a very good job this time, and it's worth noting that we have damaged six masters from Tianxing Palace on Concubine Hai." He pulled me into a secret stone cave and said with satisfaction. "Especially, the Great Elder appreciated it very much."
I said lightly: "But I have become a thorn in Chu Du's eyes."
Yin Wuxie laughed dryly: "Chu Du has no time to deal with you. While his defeat this time and his morale is sluggish, we and Qingxutian will make big moves. You must marry Hai Ji as soon as possible and re-engage the sign of the Hai Palace in the meridians and meridians, and we will give you humans."
I sneered in my heart, wouldn’t this be a disguised control of me? But when I heard Yin Wuxie’s tone, he really didn’t know about the Demon Lord, otherwise he would never say such words, “Chu Du doesn’t have time to deal with you.”
Why didn’t Zhu Geliang tell Jixiangtian? I thought silently, as if I was trapped in the fog.
