The poisonous sun at noon pierces the cliff, turning the water on the cliff into a large crystal mirror. Balls of water vapor continue to precipitate from the mirror surface, turning into wisps of light smoke, thick and dense.
The streamer-like smoke keeps rising, and the rolling thunder-like loud noise keeps falling. Between the two, there is a vacuum zone, which is a natural stone cave, claustrophobic and secretive.
It is difficult for ordinary enlightenment monks to see the mystery behind it. Even a monk in the Ningding Realm would probably pass by this waterfall if he didn't sense it carefully.
Miao Yi looked at the blurry scene outside the waterfall and breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the formation was completed, he no longer had to worry about being discovered.
Shen Qiu stood next to Miao Yi like a dead stone. His calm and steady demeanor in the past had changed drastically, and now he was full of solemnity.
"Prefect Miao really doesn't know about this trip to the South China Sea..." Shen Qiu'e spoke directly, shaking off the doubts in his heart.
Miao Yi felt powerless and said angrily for no reason, "I don't know! I really don't know!"
Shen Qiu'e returned to silence.
Miao Yi knew that his attitude was too bad, so he hesitated to speak and tried to make amends, "Prefect Shen, you know...it was precisely because I didn't know the true purpose of the South China Sea trial that I made the mistake."
Shen Qiu'e showed no mercy and nodded solemnly to reveal the "mistake" of the two of them: "We were all too naive and went directly to the marked location on the drawing."
Miao Yi took the initiative to admit his mistake, "It was my negligence. - How is Governor Yan?"
Shen Qiu'e shook his head, "My commander Shen Qiuyue is taking care of Governor Yan and is still asleep."
Miao Yi clenched his fist tightly, and in anger, he smashed a dent in the cave with his palm.
Miao Yi sighed, "Pei Wu and others must be using the Pingshu tribe to monitor the whereabouts of my team—damn you villain! They laid an ambush at the pearl fishing port while others were unprepared!"
The silent Shen Qiu'e spoke again, "Whether it's Pei Wu or Wang Cunrui, I'm confident that I can see through their tricks. ... This time when Governor Yan was injured, it was probably a monk from the Pingshu tribe who took action."
Miao Yi gritted his teeth, "Damn the Pingshu tribe!"
Shen Qiu'e's attitude was cold - this was his state of thinking.
"We should go find Gu Lichang." Shen Qiu'e expressed his opinion.
Miao Yi glanced behind him as if there was no trace of anything, and lowered his voice to refuse, "No! What does Gu Yucheng know!"
Shen Qiu'e said decisively, "Yes! That's right. Gu Yucheng may not know anything, but now we need a plum forest to quench our thirst! Even if it's just delirium!"
Miao Yi tried hard to suppress the evil fire in his heart, but Shen Qiu'e was aggressive and deliberately irritating, "You and I both know what each other is thinking! There is no need to pretend to respect me!"
Miao Yi felt humiliated and gritted his teeth and said to Si Wen, "Yes! I am indeed - if Governor Shen hadn't mentioned the benefits of Jujang Dao openly or covertly, how could the monks in various prefectures be so passive and slack! They only wanted to meet up with Jujang Dao. !”
"You can guarantee it!" Before Shen Qiu'e could say anything, Miao Yi took the lead in asking, "After seeing those rubbish in Ju Jangdao, the situation will get better! - If not, by then, you and I will be the ones under my control. It’s even more useless in human eyes!”
Shen Qiu'e looked very pedantic, "I know. You are looking at the present, I am thinking about the future. - The monks from the four counties should not be scattered."
Miao Yi sneered, "How can a piece of loose sand be condensed?"
Shen Qiu Ge said in a heroic spirit, "I am willing to do good for the sake of water and not to fight for peace."
Miao Yi looked at Shen Qiu Ge and sighed in his heart.
"I was wrong from the beginning." Miao Yi gritted his teeth and reluctantly made a concession.
"I shouldn't give Shen Qiu'e too much respect, nor should I try to give in to this guy with courtesy..." Miao Yi sighed deeply in his heart.
Shen Qiu'e nodded calmly, "Yes."
"Miao Yi attaches too much importance to personal authority... and will never retreat to the end." Shen Qiu'e looked at Miao Yi, already making a judgment in his heart.
Miao Yi stood up and walked into the water cave, "After finding the five people on Ju Rangdao, I hope that Governor Shen will be of the same mind as me."
Shen Qiu'e nodded, "As long as I win over Ju Rangdao, I am willing to follow the lead of the Miao Mansion."
Miao Yi plunged into the silent darkness and made no reply.
…………
Pan Shangde squinted his eyes to welcome the hot wind blowing over his body, chewing the perennial vegetables with his oily mouth, and his gray and straight beard trembled.
The old man stared at the steaming meat slices in the bowl.
He was recalling the dreams of his youth and the unwillingness of his old age.
Xiya tribe, Panchande’s ethnic group. It is also the most powerful tribe among the many tribes of the Pingshu tribe.
The Pingshu tribe is so large that it needs the entire plains, plateaus and some mountainous areas of Dongning Island to accommodate them, so they are scattered and alienated into various branches and tribes.
Pan Shangde dreams of uniting the entire Pingshu clan.
Each tribe on Dongning Island has its own legends of origin.
Each tribe within the Pingshu tribe also has its own origin legends.
However, all tribes of the Pingshu tribe believe that their ancestors migrated to Dongning Island from the Great Wilderness Continent and multiplied to form the Pingshu tribe to this day.
Pan Shangde hopes that all ethnic groups will become a whole and all branches will be integrated into the Xiya ethnic group...
Unfortunately, any large and powerful force is always prone to gain weight and become a lazy, loose, and barely maintained group.
"The Central Plains, the Shang Kingdom, and the Yao Clan. Haha, the three pillars of the Great Wilderness are at odds with each other, just like the Siya Clan are also facing each other. Haha!"
Pan Shangde laughed in his heart and said, "Look, the huge things in the world often face the embarrassment of a lack of centripetal force, and every stage of prosperity often breeds looseness and even eccentricity. This is the case for the Xiya people, and the same is true for the vast continent."
Pan Shangde sucked the soup from the perennial vegetables and managed to cheer up.
The arrival of the monks from the demon country allowed Pan Shangde to confirm a guess. ——We are one family.
Since the Ying family's emperor's writings and carriages were in the same track, there was no emperor in the country, only the emperor who was in perfect condition.
The Supreme Lord drew his sword, whether it was to deny the emperor, or to force the emperor to retreat to Hangu Pass.
No matter who is in charge of the Great Wilderness in the future, China will never be divided.
Pan Shangde put the tender meat into his mouth and bit it, using the energy he would have spent fighting fierce beasts when he was young.
"Pei Wu? That should be the name. - He wants the Pingshu tribe to surrender to the Demon Kingdom... Ha." Pan Shangde swallowed the minced meat, his eyes shining. "This shows that the Demon Kingdom attaches great importance to Dongning Island, and the Central Plains will also pay attention to it in the future." If you know how to act, Shang Kingdom will be no exception! They all want to unify the wilderness! Haha!"
"I want to use the Demon Kingdom to integrate the Xiya tribe and the Pingshu tribe! Even integrate Dongning Island! - My wife also agrees to this..." Pan Shangde was thinking about his desires with great joy, but he was The sound of stamping on the ground interrupted his thoughts.
A young boy ran into the house and hurriedly said, "No! It's not good! It's not good! Something bad is happening!"
Pan Shangde's brows knitted together, and even his wrinkles were stained with anger. "What's wrong? What's wrong! Slow down and talk! Why are you panicking!?"
Pan Shangde's son, Pan Conghua, panting and with red eyes said, "Mother! Mother asked you to go. Go see her! - Pei Wu, Governor Pei brought a monk. It seems, it seems, he has a very good background. Our department is already in a bit of a mess now!"
Pan Shangde's body trembled slightly. He knew that as a matriarchal clan in the West Ya clan, wives rarely called their husbands to their residences during the day. For his wife to call him so regardless of custom, something big must have happened.
Pei Wu wants the Pingshu tribe to defect to the Demon Kingdom, and Pan Shangde wants to take advantage of the demon country's monks.
Both sides want benefits, and neither wants to give them easily.
What did Pei Wu do?
"Dongning Island... is not peaceful." Pan Shangde sighed.
Pan Conghua trembled and asked tentatively, "Abba, are we going to be okay?"
Pan Shangde glared at Pan Conghua, "You brat wants something better!! - Pei Wu wants us to compromise at most! What else can he do? Remove us, how can he persuade the Pingshu people?!"
Pan Shangde grabbed his coat and walked outside. "Today's Dongning Island is like a big river, with nine twists and turns, noisy and full of life! There are waves everywhere!"
"No one knows which wave will overturn everything..."
