The story of the South finally ends with Han Chan, a disciple from the Liuyun Sword Sect, ascending to the throne of Chu King.
Even though Huaian was in the midst of internal and external troubles at this time, people raised their heads from the demonic fires ignited by Zhang Xiaoyu and looked at the Liuyun Mountains located in the south of the central part of the human world.
At the end of the first month of the fourth year of the Gale Calendar.
Si Broken Sword Cheng Lu, who had returned to the mountains to practice hermitage, stood up again.
He passed on to the world the words of Chen Yunxi, the leader of the Liuyun Sword Sect, and his master - God’s will is what man wants, not what the Sword Sect wants.
This is probably the first time that the world has heard the voice of that extremely mysterious man who is one of the three swordsmen in the world.
As the oldest existence among the Three Swordsmen, Chen Yunxi was active during the Qingyi Era. After that, in the long world, the voice of this ancient sword cultivator was no longer heard. The world only knows the current popular swordsmanship. The Yunjian Sect is still in his hands, but the world naturally has no idea what such a person is like.
Therefore, after hearing Cheng Lu relay the words of his master Chen Yunxi for the first time, everyone became quiet.
In fact, sometimes you can get a glimpse of something from this disciple of Liuyun Sword Sect.
For example, when this small Dao realm sword cultivator standing on the Floating Cloud Platform in Liuyun Mountain Range said something like that, he always inadvertently imitated it.
The four words "God's Will and Man's Will" have a slow and downward tone, while the four words "Not the Sword Sect's Will" have a lot of gentle and relaxed meanings.
So the world seemed to see the appearance of a swordsman with white hair and blue clothes who had been sitting among mountains and rivers for a long time for a long time.
But is Liuyun Sword Sect like this?
No, although not everyone in Liuyun Sword Sect is a killer, in a place like this, everyone can become a killer.
So people will also wonder whether they have thought about many things wrongly.
But Huaian's story probably didn't allow them to think too much about it.
The world never thought about it.
After thousands of years of being together, there are actually so many demon clans in the world.
Although it is not half of the world in Huaian.
But even if it is only one-tenth of the world, it is enough to shake the world.
When the demon lord led the entire clan from the Youhuang Mountains across Daze and back to Huaian, how many people did the entire demon clan have?
It's a full plan, but it's only tens of thousands of people.
In today's world, among ten people, there will be a demon clan.
The evolution of the demon clan is naturally unknown and slow.
However, their life span is much longer than that of the world.
This is also the reason why such a large number of monsters exist in the world.
For Huaian, such a turmoil would undoubtedly be fatal.
Monsters may not necessarily practice cultivation. They are just like the rest of the world, not everyone can have the initial sense of Qi.
However, as a group of transformed creatures, the demon race is naturally proud of its demon power. Once it forms a group, it can rival an armored army.
This is also the reason why Bailu City, east of Fengqiling, turned into a demon city after only resisting for a few days after the news broke out about Shanyue City.
The garrison under the jurisdiction of the city areas such as Bailu and Shanyue were naturally transferred to Daze, south of Nanyi City. Strictly speaking, not only the Bailu Mountain Moon, but also some Qingluo, Xuanxue, etc. further north are all under the jurisdiction of the city in the south. They are all empty of city defense. There are only some city guards under the jurisdiction of the city lord's palace. .
The Human Sword Sect and Nanyi City naturally made a sound to the human world together.
However, just like Jiang Ye couldn't really convince Ding Zhihai.
Those promises and comforts from the Human Sword Sect can't really calm down the chaos in the world.
the reason is simple.
The person who ignited this human fire.
It was Zhang Xiaoyu who was once a disciple of the Human Sword Sect.
In such a story, the Human Sword Sect will naturally lack a lot of convincing power, even if they have already claimed that Zhang Xiaoyu was expelled from the Sword Sect and will never die from then on.
Difficulty at home and abroad is indeed the situation of the entire South today.
It's just that things are not going well in the north.
Although the northern garrison has not been separated, and Huaidu is also stationed, but when some rumors spread from south to north, it also caused a lot of chaos in this land that is more inclined to the Taoist sect.
Shanhe Temple and Qingtian Taoism, as well as many Taoist temples in the world, were all involved in these wars.
And all the stories come from a certain swordsman in white who looks like he is wandering around the world.
What is the war about?
Maybe it's interests, maybe it's ideals.
However, for those monsters who are gathering in the cold wind.
They are still as normal as they were thousands of years ago.
Just to survive.
More than a thousand years ago, at first no one cared about some changes in the attitude of the human emperor named Li Asan who was above the Huaidu court.
Until the entire Huai'an began to explode.
The demon tribe was killed so much that they had to flee south, and were expelled by Huang Liang, the emperor, and finally settled on the banks of the Autumn River in the extreme south of the human world.
No one wants to see a repeat of that story again.
If mortals can't do it.
Then be a hero.
Approximately every demon clan wielding a sword towards the human world has had this thought.
.....
"At the beginning of the war, all people thought about were noble, great, and self-sainted in the flames of war that were just beginning to ignite. But once those wars started out of anger and impulse fell into bitter fighting, the Japanese Day after day, it wears away the patience of the world and destroys their minds. In the end, even they themselves can't remember why such a war happened in the first place, and killing people doesn't know when, it has become a It's a matter of muscle memory. If this war lasts for a long time, then in the hundred years after this war, it will be impossible for the two races to return to their original state."
The old man stood at the door of the house holding the heater, quietly looking at Chen Huaifeng, who was wearing a Taoist robe and holding an umbrella in the rain, standing calmly after the spring rain.
"Hatred will engulf each other, and it will take a long time for the rational consideration of interests to regain dominance."
The old man's voice was very gentle and indifferent.
In such a war, there may be some strange emotions.
"Just like when my servant died in your human sword sect, Huaidu didn't say anything. For the human world, stability is better than anything else. Liu Sanyue's death in Daze is the best news. You human world Jian Zong thinks so, and so does Huaidu."
As these words fall.
The identity of the old man wearing ordinary clothes at the door has naturally come to light.
Chen Huaifeng raised his head and looked at the tall buildings and suspension bridges on the long streets that blocked the sky and separated the spring rain. Everything was shining with a hazy and warm light in the spring rain.
The world is so noisy that even Nanyi City cannot compare to it.
This is Huaidu.
The old man in front of him is Li Chenghe, the Minister of War in Huaidu.
The flames of war have been igniting throughout Huai'an for half a month. Chen Huaifeng, who was supposed to contact the cultivators of the Sword Sect in the human world, appeared for some reason in the most glorious and majestic city in the world.
Maybe it’s not so baffling.
Because Huaidu, which was supposed to shock the world, faced such a turmoil, but so far there has been no movement.
The Ministry of War's orders for the deployment of soldiers and armor in the world often only parade among the cities in the world.
So Chen Huaifeng decided to come to such a majestic and vast city to have a good look.
When the incident in Nanyi City happened, Chen Huaifeng could not understand Huaidu's attitude.
The same is true today.
Even if Huaidu has a back-up plan in the human world, it doesn't mean that there is no news at all.
The Qingtian Taoist, who had been running around the world for days and had not had a cup of hot tea for a long time, lowered his head and looked again at the old man standing in regular clothes at the door of the mansion.
"But as your Excellency said, a long war will breed endless hatred."
Chen Huaifeng paused and said in a deep voice: "Huaidu should have entered the game earlier."
Li Chenghe just held the heater in his hand calmly.
"Not all monsters in the world are rebels."
Chen Huaifeng said in a deep voice: "Not all, and no longer a minority."
Li Chenghe looked at Chen Huaifeng quietly for a long time, and then said softly: "Then, guess how many demon clans there are in Sophora Huai, and how many demon clans are in our Majesty's court?"
Chen Huaifeng fell silent.
Back then, the demon lord even served as the Minister of Rites in Huaian, not to mention that this was the human world of Shenhe.
Although the people above the court are still mainly people and practitioners, there are still a large number of monsters.
"As soon as we received the Heavenly Prison Sword Book from Shanyue City, the Ministry of War had already started preparing for war."
Li Chenghe looked up at the rain curtain and said calmly: "My Lord Attendant has rejected the proposal of the Ministry of War."
The old man did not reveal the identity of the Lord Attendant.
But when it comes to this, Chen Huaifeng naturally knows it very well.
If Nanyi City is the beginning of a place with the same flow.
Then Huaidu is the pinnacle of the same place.
The separation of powers and checks and balances in the human world is nothing new.
Li Chenghe lowered his head, turned and walked towards the door.
"The matter between the two clans is far more complicated than what the world sees, Chen Huaifeng. Unless the whole world is against it, it is impossible for Huai to go to war. What's more, the world has been peaceful for too long, and the world has never seen war. , maybe it’s not such a bad thing.”
Li Chenghe was walking on the corridor of the mansion, turned back to look at Chen Huaifeng, thought for a while and said, "You should have heard the story of the south."
Of course Chen Huaifeng heard it.
With such a majestic spring festival and false capital change, even if there is a big lake in the middle, it is impossible to really stop them all in the south.
Things between the north and the south, like those between the two tribes, should not be taken lightly.
You can sit still and calm in the world, but you will never be unprepared.
The lacquered red door slowly closed.
Chen Huaifeng stood in the rain for a long time, thinking about the words of the minister.
Perhaps it is just as Li Chenghe said.
Sophora japonica is the center of the human world, so it is naturally involved in important matters.
Of course the world cannot forget it.
Your Majesty today is not just a demon clan.
Still from Huangliang.
He is also an extremely high practitioner in the world.
Chen Huaifeng frowned and looked at the closed door.
Although Li Chenghe did not point out how the world should be in the end.
But there are some things that Chen Huaifeng can actually hear.
The matter between the two races must be resolved.
However, if the locust tree doesn't move, then only the world of cultivation will move.
Chen Huaifeng stood in the rain, when suddenly a burst of spring rain and chill came from all directions.
Looking up between the pavilions and the suspended bridges, a man in a black robe with gold patterns was standing there, leaning on the railing with his hands behind his back.
However, those spring rains and chills do not come from that person, but from the human world.
The distance between the prosperous long street and the high-rise buildings in Sophora Capital seems to be slowly increasing and changing. The hanging bridge in the world is getting easier. The person who was originally at the end of the long street is changing in this way with an extremely dull and mechanical sound. Among them, it has become much closer.
Like the mountains sinking and the valleys rising.
The world has changed.
"In the city of Siwu, the rule of Heavenly Prison has passed, and the demon clan has taken over."
The man seemed to be smiling, standing on the suspension bridge with the glimmer of human light under the spring rain, and looked at Chen Huaifeng and said softly.
"Remember not to talk about the demon clan's affairs, Chen Huaifeng."
Chen Huaifeng stood there in a daze, while the man from Heaven calmly walked down the suspension bridge and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This tall senior fellow who was born in the south turned his head and looked towards the long street.
There are many monsters coming out slowly.
Unlike the human world, people with animal ears and fox tails, who are only seen on All Souls' Day, can be seen everywhere in Nanyi City.
Of course, not all monsters are forest beasts.
Some people's hair is like flowing water, some people's eyebrows are like clear pools, and some people are holding a spring breeze in their hearts.
This is Huaidu.
A place where humans rule together.
...
Chen He felt like he saw a familiar figure, but when he handed someone a piece of iron plate tofu, the figure in Taoist robes hurried away, and he didn't know where he went.
Chen He felt that he might have seen it wrong.
Of course, if he had a lot of time, Chen He would not decide so quickly that he was wrong.
Chen He is very busy now.
Although Qingtian Road is not very far from Huaidu.
But Chen He didn't expect that the price difference between the two places was so big.
In that small town at the foot of Qingtian Road Mountain, you can buy a big meat bun with thin skin and lots of meat for two cents.
However, in Huaidu, it costs twenty coins!
Twenty cents!
When Chen He first heard the price, he was much more shocked than when he first saw such a strange and gorgeous capital city.
After all, no matter how prosperous and beautiful Huaidu is, it has nothing to do with Chen He. He can see it all without spending a penny.
But what is the concept of eating a meat bun for twenty cents?
It’s a fucking money grab!
Chen He, who used to be generous and wealthy, realized his poverty for the first time.
Xu Chunhua held up her little white umbrella, covered her mouth and snickered.
Chen He hesitated for a long time before he counted forty coins from his purse again, and he and Xu Chunhua ate one each.
Living in Huaidu is not easy!
Chen He only had this idea at the time.
Then I finally understood the meaning of the child's longing murmur to himself that I heard on the road.
"I don't know when our Majesty will celebrate his next birthday."
Chen He wondered, are the children in Huaidu so pious to Shenhedu?
"Why do you want to see His Majesty on his birthday?"
Then he heard the words that he couldn't understand.
"Because on His Majesty's birthday, you can eat all the steamed buns from Huaidu!"
The child said very matter of factly.
Chen He once thought that the child's family was not wealthy.
Although this is the jurisdiction of the capital city, things between rich and poor are naturally inevitable.
It wasn't until he saw the 20 cents a bun that Chen He realized sincerely.
Sorry, I am poor too.
After renting a very small yard in a remote alley west of Huaidu.
Chen He had to start his old business.
Selling sizzling tofu.
I originally thought that the savings from last year's busy year would be enough for me to settle down in Huaidu.
It's just that it's obviously overthinking.
Fortunately, Chen He, who travels all over the world, has a skill after all. The extremely delicious iron plate tofu made Chen He famous in a short period of time.
Has a very famous name.
It's called Tofu Chen.
Chen He's tofu is almost sold out early in the morning. Huaidu's steamed buns are expensive, but Chen He's iron plate tofu is also correspondingly expensive.
After all, the two are of the same price in the human world.
Even the sizzling tofu as a snack is more expensive than 20 cents for a sizzling tofu.
It’s just that Huaidu’s expenses are also high.
Sophora japonica is making money, sophora japonica is spending money, and one wants to take it home.
Water in Huaidu costs money.
But Chen He can understand this.
After all, Sophora japonica is the northern part of the human world, and further north, passing through the small border towns of Anning City, is the desert of the human world.
Green mountains are always there, but green water is not always there.
The north is naturally not as good as the south, with big rivers and clear streams everywhere.
Chen He pushed his small wheelchair and walked into the alley.
Don't ask why you were pushed away.
Because water in Huaidu costs money.
As a Tianyan car produced in Nanyi City and powered by boiling water, it is naturally difficult to move in a place like Huaidu. If it hadn't been used in the human world in the future, Chen He would have wanted to sell it.
In the spring rain in the alley, the small town girl wearing a floral skirt was sitting with an umbrella at the entrance of the courtyard. When she saw Chen He pushing the cart back from the alley, she stood up and walked over to help him push the cart.
Huaidu as a whole is naturally beautiful.
However, such a small alley is still similar to the human world.
Like a clump of green grass among the flowers.
There are mossy white walls and old eaves dripping with rain.
"Still not found today?"
Chen He turned to look at Xu Chunhua who was holding an umbrella and helping him push the cart and asked.
The woman in a floral skirt shook her head.
The Sophora japonica trees are not only very big, but also change in number every day.
Every two hours, the entire capital city undergoes earth-shaking changes.
It is said that this is the masterpiece of Huaidu Tiangong Department.
The entire Sophora Capital was built into a mechanical city.
Such a capital city is naturally incompatible with the Nanyi City built thousands of years ago.
Huaidu is divided into upper and lower cities.
People can always hear many vast and deep mechanical sounds in a trance.
That is the sound of the locust trees moving.
Except for the permanent residence of the Royal Palace on the ground and the permanent residence of the Tiangong Department underground, all buildings in the city will slowly move during the daily rotation of time.
It's easy to get used to Huaido's prices.
However, it is extremely difficult to adapt to such a majestic and intricate human capital.
Before Xu Chunhua left the alley every day, she was prepared to get lost in Sophora Capital.
And Chen He was also ready to find her.
The world may be like this capital city.
It is normal to get lost easily.
That’s why when we get together, it becomes extra precious.
