In the cold autumn season, the scenery of Hukou Waterfall is unique.
In the early morning, before the sun rises, the roaring Hukou Falls of the Yellow River is filled with white mist. The mist reaches the clouds and reaches the sky. The roar of the waves can be clearly heard ten miles away. Boating on dry land in the nearby Yellow River waterway and the smoke in the water are most magical.
Looking at the Great Wall on the Loess Plateau, the merchants on the ancient Silk Road are no longer what they used to be.
Literati who like to travel around the world often visit Hukou, hoping to use the wonders of the Yellow River to find inspiration and write quatrains that will be famous all over the world.
The inn near Hukou Waterfall is still open for business as usual and has not been affected by the corpse disaster outside the customs.
On a cool autumn morning, a middle-aged scholar put on thick clothes and went out under the service of a book boy. The two of them rushed to the waterfall before the sun rose, hoping to experience the beautiful scenery of the Yellow River when the sun rose in the east.
Fortunately, the weather was clear and windless, and there was a bit of cold dew on the waterside.
The mist was as thick as smoke, and even before reaching the river, it wetted his eyebrows and the square scarf on his head. It was cold to the skin and flesh. The middle-aged scholar suddenly regretted it. He wanted to go back to the inn to drink a cup of hot wine and wait for the sunrise, but he couldn't lose his dignity, so he had to bite the bullet and wrap up. He walked forward in tight clothes, followed by the book boy who was also trembling.
The roaring sound got louder as he got closer to the mouth of the pot. The middle-aged scholar felt that he must not be able to hear what he was saying now.
When I reached the edge of the cliff at Hukou, I was immediately shocked by the creation of heaven and earth. Suddenly I became excited and shouted praises.
"Okay! Haha~!"
Maybe it was just the right time, the red sun rose in the east and cast golden light.
The white water vapor seems to be mixed with gold powder, the clouds and mist are first stained by the rays of the sun, and the white color turns into a dazzling golden color. Witnessing the wonders of the world with your own eyes, you feel lucky. The morning glow washes away the exhaustion and hardship of the middle-aged scholar who traveled westward to eat and sleep in the open, and he is full of pride and emotion.
"Yellow sand flows into the water, nine curves stir up the waves, mountains roar with thunder and dragons soar across the nine states~!"
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
The water splashed, the Hukou Falls between the narrow cliffs surged, and a woman in a white dress suddenly jumped out of the mist. Time seemed to freeze. The middle-aged scholar was stunned and could clearly see the long-haired woman jumping up the waterfall...
He has dragon horns, white clothes and white cloth boots, his body is slender and soft like a snake, with a long white tail swinging behind him.
Penetrating the golden water vapor and bathing in the glow, the rising sun paints a golden edge for it, the falling water droplets leap from the air in front of you and dive into the upper reaches of Hukou Waterfall, swinging their long tails and disappearing into the Yellow River, leaving no trace...
"Dragon... dragon... it's really a dragon! Dragon Girl! It's real!"
The middle-aged scholar was stunned for a moment and then became extremely happy, speaking incoherently. He looked upstream to find the dragon girl but found nothing. The scene just now was engraved in his mind extremely clearly. He wished he could go back to his hometown immediately and tell his best friends that he would make friends in the book. He was so excited and his heartbeat was racing all over his body. It's hot and dry, and I hope to see the dragon goddess Zi again, but I can't find it.
A few years later, the story about the Dragon God of the Yellow River spread, along with a poem about the Dragon Girl...
Bai Yujun's traces were as erratic as ever.
I found an opportunity to quickly go to the Longmen Desert in the northwest to find Mu and try to solve the hidden danger.
In order to hide his traces, he deliberately sneaked upstream into the ancient Yellow River and used the dragon veins of the Yellow River to hide his whereabouts. He searched for the most powerful tree demon who lived in seclusion here. Some things had been dragging on for a long time, and it was time to solve them with the help of external forces.
With the help of the ancient Yellow River Dragon Vein, Bai Yujun is fearless, even if the person is not transformed into bones, Bai Yujun can mobilize the Yellow River Dragon Vein and the turbulent water to defeat it.
The water of the Yellow River is yellow, and under the water, a white figure flashes past...
…
fortress.
Each of the three armies sent troops out to clean up the rotting corpses scattered everywhere.
The rotting corpses ranged from small groups to hundreds or even thousands. The strong winds scattered them everywhere. They were everywhere in ravines, dry waterways, and even wilderness grass swamps. They were not a big threat, but they were time-consuming.
The monks discovered that a large number of rotting corpses had once again gathered in the north, and they would block the fortress when they moved south.
Before the second batch of rotting corpses arrives, it is best to clean up the remnants of the previous wave to reduce the pressure, at least not to cause trouble to those powerful and powerful people.
There was a creaking sound of metal rubbing against the heavy city gate, and it was slowly pushed open with a rumble.
Thirty thousand troops of the imperial army came out of the customs, and they were assisted by elite cavalry. It was very convenient whether they were chasing or traveling. The imperial court was rich and could afford horses.
Since the fall of the wasteland, there have been only a handful of good horse farms, and prices have been rising steadily.
The Black and White tribes of Jiuli each arranged for 5,000 elite troops to leave the customs, and they agreed on 10,000. However, it turned out that the negotiation was for Jiuli to send 10,000 troops, and they forgot to subdivide the black and white troops, and the loophole was taken advantage of.
As the mainstay, the snake demon soldiers sent 10,000 troops, well-equipped and carrying a large number of bows and crossbows.
Among them, the patrols who were good at long-distance running were lightly dressed and went to gather information first. This time, they were led by Ye Zi. They strictly followed the Demon Emperor's orders and were not to leave too far along the Great Wall. The snake demon soldiers lined up neatly and marched out of the border in unison. The demon soldiers were well-trained in the world. It is so famous that if you have never seen it before, you will inevitably have doubts. After seeing it with your own eyes, you will sigh like a soldier from heaven.
At the gate of the city, Xiao Zizi was talking to his sister Chunyang Zixu Ganwu's first disciple Zizi.
"Sister, don't worry. I only move along the Great Wall and will never go deep. The boss has warned me a long time ago that even if I give the order to go deep, no demon soldiers will follow me."
"Be careful with your troops and don't rush in. I've said hello to the Supreme Elder Chunyang over there and I'll see them if I need anything."
"Well, thank you sister~"
Little Ye Zi smiled happily, and Ye Zi, who was dressed in a pure Yang Taoist robe, reached out and touched the top of his sister's head. It felt like they were dependent on each other and so affectionate, and it felt like a lifetime ago to recall it.
"These are for you, be sure to wear them on your body, and remember to keep the healing elixirs carefully."
Ye Zi kept stuffing things into his sister's arms, including talismans to restrain zombies and evil spirits, jade talismans that could cast spells, and healing elixirs. He had given them a lot when he came to the fortress before and there were a lot more today. He wished he could give all the good things to his sister. , if there hadn't been something happening at the fortress and couldn't leave, I would probably have gone out with the team.
As a close disciple of Zixu Ganwu, who is famous all over the world, Ye Zi never lacks these, not to mention that Chunyang Palace has too much inventory and is very generous in using them.
Many demon soldiers in the Snake Demon Army know that General Xiao Ziye has the most treasures and is the most lavish.
The team lined up neatly through the city gate.
"By the way, sister...are you still responsible for closing the door now? Hehe~"
After saying that, he walked through the city gate and ran away. Ye Zi couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. The issue of shutting down the disciples made a big fuss in Chunyang Palace. It was really difficult for the master. Thinking about the culprit in the first place, he was speechless...
A large number of troops left the fortress and went to the wasteland outside the pass to clean up the scattered corpses, with different directions and strategies.
The snake demon soldiers and the elite Baibu soldiers went to clean up along the Great Wall in the eastern part of the fortress. The Kurobe troops were very skilled. Seeing that their old enemy Baibu and the demon soldiers were heading east along the Great Wall, they simply went west. Only the Yan Kingdom's imperial army, which was the largest in number and the least powerful, was left. To the north, strategic plans take the unexpected.
The water in the court was very muddy, and every general had a sponsor behind him.
Many things involve too much and cannot be acted upon in a timely manner. No matter how arranged the court backers are, they must be done, otherwise they may be replaced at any time. Perhaps they are too optimistic about the situation, or they want to grab credit, occupy the right to speak, and exclude opponents. The court orders Each general has made many meritorious deeds.
In the city gate tower, Qiao Jin watched the Yan Kingdom cavalry marching northward in the dust.
