This is a miniature map of mountains and rivers!
Millions of mountains stretching across thousands of miles are all condensed into this space of less than three inches. With spiritual consciousness, the shape of each mountain peak and the direction of each river are almost revealed and can be seen at a glance!
Combining her own memories, Qixia discovered that the carvings on it were perfect, as if there were a pair of eyes in the sky, meticulously recording the entire Demon Realm.
In this way, my place in the Demon Realm is not as good as a woman who stripped naked and was seen through by them!
Qixia thought to herself and looked very unhappy.
Fortunately, she soon discovered that some places were also covered by clouds and mist, making them vague and unreal.
Especially the secret places she knew, none of them were revealed.
She relaxed a little and asked, "What is this?"
"The Jade Seal of the State."
"What is carved on it is the territory map of our country?"
"Of course." Ji Xungen replied with a smile.
Qixia looked at it for a moment, then suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Why is Chongzhou from Xu State included?"
"It's not Chongzhou of Xu State, it's Chongzhou of Lu State," Ji Xungen said sternly: "Chongzhou is the remnant of millions of mountains. Historically, these places were originally the habitats of the demon tribe. Now that Lu State has been established, these lands , it should naturally be placed under your country’s name.”
"Yunxiao Sect agreed?" Qixia asked doubtfully.
Ji Xungen smiled and said nothing.
"That means I didn't agree." A coldness flashed in Qixia's eyes: "I wonder if the Imperial Palace of Xu State also has such a jade seal?"
"Of course there is. All the countries in the Eastern Region that are recognized by the ancestors have the seals given by the ancestors. The shape is exactly the same as the one in your majesty's hand."
"It's also a map of mountains and rivers?"
"That's right."
"That being the case," Qixia's lips curled up slightly: "Does the map of Xu State also include the land of Chongzhou?"
"No!"
"No?"
Qixia was stunned.
"The jade seal of the Xu State was given to the Wei State by our ancestors three thousand years ago. Later, the Wei State fell and the Yan State replaced it, and then the Yan State fell and the Xu State rose, all of whom inherited this jade seal. Of course, This jade seal is actually in the hands of Yunxiao Sect, and what Xu Guo has in his hands is just an imitation."
"At that time, most of the Chongzhou area was still unclaimed land. Of course, the jade seal given by our ancestors would not include these places."
"So, the Million Mountains have never been divided into any country since ancient times?" Qixia said in surprise.
"That's natural." Ji Xungen looked at Qixia strangely, as if he was surprised that she didn't even know such common sense. After thinking for a while, he added: "The jade seal in your Majesty's hand was made by the ancestor himself in the past two years. It was made. Giving it to His Majesty today represents his recognition of your country."
"If your country encounters any difficulties in the future, you can rely on this jade seal to ask your ancestors for help."
Having said this, he took out a stack of talismans that had been prepared from the ring and placed it in front of Qixia.
These talisman papers are all earthy yellow, with faint golden light emitting, as if they are made from some kind of animal skin, and it is impossible to tell what grade they are.
Qixia was secretly surprised. With her cultivation strength, she couldn't even see through it. Doesn't it mean that the grade of this talisman paper is still above her level?
Level six!
"This is a talisman skin tanned from the skin of some giant beast in ancient times," Ji Xungen explained: "If your country needs assistance from our ancestors, you can put the seal of the jade seal on this skin, and then write the outline of the matter. Reliable people will be sent to Zhou."
"After the ancestor receives the talisman, he will come forward to relieve you of the crisis..."
"Remember, Ancestor only recognizes the request for help from this talisman. Other pieces of paper, silk, or oral messages will most likely be ignored by Ancestor. Remember!"
"Three of these talismans are given to you for the first time. After you use them up, you can continue to apply to me, the Kingdom of Zhou. Of course, you cannot use them unless it is urgent!"
It turns out that this jade seal has such a function! Qixia looked happy and nodded frequently.
There are four talisman papers in this stack. After Ji Xungen finished speaking, he took out one of the talisman papers, borrowed the jade seal from Qixia, and pressed it on the talisman skin to activate the magic power.
The jade seal suddenly shone brightly, and eight large golden characters "Fengtian Chengyun Luguo Seal" appeared in mid-air, which complemented the mountains and terrain on the jade seal. After a while, the writing slowly fell.
In the center of the talisman skin, a majestic and solemn seal appeared.
After Ji Xungen finished the demonstration, he carefully put the talisman skin into the ring.
Qixia took the remaining three and followed his example, carefully putting them away.
…
After completing this procedure, the banquet officially started.
Afterwards, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Qixia once again apologized to He Xi and presented a large amount of rare spiritual herbs. Ji Xungen also put aside his earlier unhappiness and drank happily with the demons.
During this period, he frequently expressed his goodwill to Qing Xiaoling and inquired about his origins, etc., but was treated coldly by the latter and was not interested.
Ji Xungen didn't take it seriously. In the end, he got very drunk and was helped by Yuan Zheng to rest.
As the guests left, the banquet came to an end.
Qixia's face was full of spring breeze as she watched the other party leave the hall step by step. It wasn't until the figure completely disappeared that her pretty face gradually turned cold.
She called Qing Xiaoling and took her to her bedroom.
"Ling'er," in a secret room, Qixia held the little fox demon's wrist and said bluntly: "You came here today and asked me why I provoke Xu State and frequently create beast tides at the border. Now I will tell you The answer is that this matter was ordered by the State of Zhou."
"You are a smart boy. You can see that although our country was founded, it is sandwiched between the three great human kingdoms of Qin, Xu, and Kuang. There is actually no security guarantee. It is not as big as it was when there were millions of mountains. the difference."
"I need the recognition and protection of the True Lord, and this is the exchange condition for the Zhou Kingdom to ask me to invade the Xu Kingdom."
"You also saw today that Ji Xungen came here this time to fulfill his previous promise."
Qing Xiaoling's lips parted slightly, but the expression on her face didn't show much surprise. Over the years, she has helped Zhao Yue'er manage the Bluestone Space, interacted with various people, and gradually learned many truths about the world, and her mind gradually became refined.
Of course she could see the predicament of the Lu Kingdom and even the implication of Ji Xungen's words.
"How long ago was this?" she asked.
"In the past two or three years, I ignored it at first, thinking it might be a trap. However, as the Kraken began to invade Xu Guohai's territory the year before last, Yunxiao Sect was at a loss to deal with it and showed its fatigue, so I sent out forces to test it. Unexpectedly, things went smoothly, and the so-called Kuangzhou land of Xu State was recovered in one fell swoop."
Qing Xiaoling was silent. Although she spent most of her time hiding in Qingshi, she heard what happened from Zhao Yue'er.
Kuangzhou is the sphere of influence of the two masters Kuang Wenzhi and Tan Mingzhen. However, Master Kuang was injured in the battle of Yezhou and has been unable to leave. Master Tan was unable to support himself. I heard that he once fought with several demon kings from the Lu Kingdom and suffered some minor injuries, so he had to give up Kuangzhou.
It seems that the Yunxiao Sect has no intention of taking back this territory that originally belonged to the Million Mountains.
"Now that the jade seal of Zhenguo has been obtained, the ancestor Zhenzun has recognized the Lu Kingdom," Qing Xiaoling asked: "How will the empress act in the future? Will she capture Chongzhou?"
"Ling'er, what do you think, should I want that piece of land?" Qixia pinched the little fox's red ears and asked with a smile.
"Of course not!" Qing Xiaoling blushed and said decisively: "Human beings have lived and thrived in Chongzhou for more than two thousand years and have long taken root there. If the Lu Kingdom forcibly occupied it, let alone this The process will be devastating, with countless casualties, and even if it succeeds by chance, it will form a deadly feud with the Yunxiao Sect in the future, and there will be no end to the death and no peace!"
She spoke from the bottom of her heart.
The reason why the little fox insisted on coming to see Qixia despite Zhao Yue'er's dissuasion was because he did not want the hatred between Lu Kingdom and Yunxiao Sect to get deeper and deeper. Although the Yunxiao Sect has been in decline in recent years, she has a deep understanding of the powerful foundation of the human cultivation world, and it is definitely not something that these monsters in the deep mountains and forests can bully.
"Haha," Qixia disagreed: "I heard that Xu State Yuezhou, which was also the territory where their human race had lived and multiplied for thousands of years, was now occupied by the sea monster and became the place under the rule of Sang State. Since the sea monster has taken it, Could it be that the demon clan of my million-strong mountain cannot occupy even one state of Xu country?”
"The sea monster is powerful..." Qing Xiaoling murmured.
"There are more than fifty demon kings in our demon clan, don't they have any strength?" Qixia sneered: "The demon kings are despised by the human race, but they are short of training and lack of magic weapons. Hehe, I have not let them in these years. Take some time..."
"What's more, the true ancestor has engraved the map of Chongzhou on the jade seal of our Lu Kingdom! Ji Xungen also personally promised to this palace that Chongzhou belongs to the homeland of our Lu Kingdom!"
"If I, as you say, stand still against the Xu Kingdom, not to mention losing such an opportunity in vain, it would be a great pity. If it is impossible to offend the true ancestor, that would be the catastrophe of our country!"
"If you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences! Ling'er, if it were you and me, do you think I should seize Chongzhou?"
"My Lady, haven't you ever thought about why the Zhou Kingdom wants to help us? Is there any other plan behind them targeting the Yunxiao Sect?" Faced with the aggressive Demon Clan Queen, Qing Xiaoling did not give in and asked sharply.
Qixia's momentum was stunned.
His eyes stared at the little fox's jade-white cheeks for a long time, and then he suddenly shouted:
"Ling'er, is He Xi's ridiculous behavior tonight due to your charm?"
Qing Xiaoling was startled, but after a slight hesitation, she did not deny it: "Ling'er sensed Lord He's malice toward me, so... I took a preemptive strike and asked the Queen to forgive me."
"Well," Qixia nodded slightly and asked: "You can actually use your charm technique on people under my nose. It seems that you have achieved a lot. If you are asked to deal with a real person in the middle stage of Jindan, I wonder if you can How confident are you that the other party will not notice it at all?"
"Eight points, no, nine points!" The little fox raised his neck and replied confidently.
"Good!" Qixia stood up, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "In that case, you go and see that Ji Xungen tonight! This guy has evil intentions towards you. If you go to him, he will definitely not refuse!"
"Ling'er, what you just said, why do I have no doubts? There has never been love for no reason in this world, not to mention that we, the demon race and the human race, are not the same kind. There is no reason for Zhou Guo to help us. What they did Everything is just to deal with Yunxiao Sect!"
"I would like to know how come the true master of the Eastern Territory is dissatisfied with the Yunxiao Sect? Please ask this master Ji carefully about the reason behind this!"
"There is also the national jade seal and the animal skin talisman. After thinking about it, I always feel that it is a bit weird. Why do you have to ask for help in that way? Please ask me for help on this matter!"
