Lin Mo still had a childish heart, sitting by the bonfire with his knees in his arms, talking and pointing out Yan Ci's grilled fish, and started blowing his beard and staring when he didn't turn over the grill in time.
Han Bing and Qu Yuyi were chatting under the coconut tree. Seeing Yan Ci's meek and respectful look, as if he had never been so well-behaved before, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
A group of disciples gathered around the fire to watch the excitement, but Du Ruozhou didn't even blink. He brought a bundle of wet firewood and put it on the charcoal fire without any explanation. In an instant, thick smoke billowed out, making everyone shed tears.
Lin Mozhuo's eyes were half-closed, and he was about to reprimand, when he suddenly saw Qi Canghuang and Xuanyin landing on the island. He immediately stood up and went out to greet them, ignoring the golden delicacies.
As soon as the front foot left, Yan Cideng immediately took a step forward, took a diagonal step, clamped Du Ruozhou's ankle and pushed it onto the charcoal fire.
Yu Lu and Li Suyan raised their fists in unison and shouted: "Up, up, up." The onlookers laughed uncontrollably, some encouraged them and some stepped forward to help, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Du Ruozhou kicked him around and begged for mercy. Xie Bo'an came over at some point and used charcoal chips to turn Du Ruozhou into a cat with a painted face.
At this time, Nightingale approached with two butter crabs in her pockets and asked curiously: "Hey, where's the grilled fish?"
Everyone looked down and saw that the dozen or so grilled fish that had just been cooked on the charcoal fire had disappeared.
Du Ruozhou scratched his heart with a hundred paws, and stupidly lifted up Xie Bo'an's clothes to look for fish. Xie Bo'an kicked his foot, laughed and cursed: "You bastard, you are so careless!"
The group of cultivators murmured, thinking that in front of everyone, the only person nearby who could steal fish except Xie Bo'an was Han Bing. Seeing the doubtful looks in everyone's eyes, Han Bing smiled and said, "My uncle is not so elegant."
Just as he was getting suspicious, Qu Yuyi suddenly turned his starry eyes and quietly pointed at the Liuying sun-chasing boots worn by Yan Ci.
Yan Ci was stunned for a moment, and quietly released a ray of spiritual thought to look into the Sumeru Ring. He saw elves and unicorns feasting on the grilled fish. He didn't dare to say anything, but still walked around pretending to look for fish, so as to raise suspicion.
※
Under the shade of a tree, beside a shallow stream, Luo Wangshu and his group met Qi Canghuang and Xuanyin. Everyone sat or stood casually, chatting casually about tea in a seemingly harmonious atmosphere.
After chatting for a while, Qi Canghuang turned to the main topic and said: "In accordance with the ancestral dragon's decree, Tongchenyuan defeated the enemy with a small number and defeated the enemy. His achievements were recorded in the ancestral dragon list. Three thousand pieces of top-quality Qingling jade and three hundred thousand pieces of Qingling jade were given. , and also some elixirs and spiritual materials to show their merit."
After that, he presented a storage ring and an ancestral dragon list. Luo Wang stretched out the list and looked at it. The words written on it were slightly exaggerated words of commendation. The seal of the ancestral dragon was stamped at the end of the list. The dragon shadow was majestic and mysterious.
Qianxue secretly sighed that Li Xiaoyang could win people's hearts. In comparison, the rewards were secondary. The Ancestral Dragon List, which sealed the power of the Ancestral Dragon's split soul, was an extremely rare treasure.
The Ancestral Dragon Order is not Li Xiaoyang's private property, so every time a list is published, it must be announced to the world to let cultivators know about it.
Today, there are only a handful of Ancestral Dragon Orders living outside the country, because the more imperial edicts there are, the less the soul power of the Ancestral Dragon Order is. If the use of the Ancestral Dragon Order is not reduced, the Ancestral Dragon Order will one day become a legend.
Luo Wangshu understood the profound meaning of Li Xiaoyang's move, and said: "Tongchenyuan is just doing its duty, and we don't dare to take credit. Please report to Leader Li. We accept the favor and will never lose our justice."
Qi Cang and Huang Zhanyan said: "Rewarding merit and punishing crime can only show the virtue of ancestor Long Pingming. The master of the garden does not need to be too modest."
Speaking of the current situation, Qi Canghuang pretended not to know about Li Xiaoyang's summons, and said seriously: "The alliance intends to invite the master of Yuan and the master of Xia Yan Island to come to the city to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy. The disciples are stationed on the spot to help defend. I don't know what their opinions are."
Luo Wangshu smiled but did not answer. Xia Yan shook his head and said: "The Wuming Island is open and easy to attack but difficult to defend. It is not conducive to fighting, not to mention..." He raised his wrist and pointed at the monks on the island who were greedy for seafood and said: "If we wait for a few more days, I'm afraid everyone on this island will think about returning to secular life."
Qi Canghuang laughed and said: "I have always heard that the military discipline of your island is strict, and everyone will obey the orders of the island master only with caution. Brother Xia is humorous, so don't use false words to excuse him."
Xia Yan sighed and said: "One moment, another moment. When wars are happening frequently, it is not appropriate to interfere too much." After saying this, he sighed again and again, as if he really felt something.
Qi Canghuang smiled and asked Luo Wangshu what he meant again. Luo Wangshu frowned slightly, with an unspeakable expression on his face. Suddenly he heard a burst of rapid footsteps, and Qing Ming rushed into the forest.
Xuanyin has a standing position. He just accompanied Qi Canghuang this time and didn't make up his mind. However, when he saw Qing Ming, his withered face couldn't help but reveal a bright smile, far away from the question.
Qing Ming also smiled with dimples, lowered his head and said politely: "Master, are you okay?"
Xuanyin said with a pleasant look: "I wish you great blessings from the donor. All is well with the old monk."
This monk has compassion in his heart, and his heart is as pure and clear as the autumn moon on a cold river. He has always dealt with people and things calmly and calmly, but looking at his current attitude, it is like seeing a familiar friend again.
Qi Canghuang didn't know that there was such a relationship between the two, and was quite surprised. He turned his head and met Qing Ming's eyes. Before he could say hello, he suddenly saw that Qing Ming's face turned cold and there was a hint of anger in his brows.
Qi Canghuang couldn't help but said in astonishment: "I haven't seen you for half a month, why is the fairy like this?"
Qing Ming said coldly: "The Huaqing Sect has done many good things, but you have the nerve to ask others!"
Qi Canghuang was at a loss for words, and after a little thought, he said, "Please tell me what the specific matter is, please tell me."
Qing Ming's eyes were burning, he threw out the wrapped silk and said: "The facts are all there, let's see how fellow Taoist explains it?"
Qi Canghuang opened his eyes and took a few glances. He couldn't help but lose his composure, and exclaimed in shock: "Plan to break the defense of Shenzhou Island!"
Xuanyin took it over and looked at it, feeling at a loss. When Li Xiaoyang asked for the defense plans, he already felt that it was inappropriate. However, the reasons for his proposal were high-sounding. Moreover, Luo Wangshu submitted the plans as promised, and no outsiders raised any objections.
All Kongming cultivators in Zixia Mountain are aware of this matter. Xuanyin has also studied it carefully and put forward suggestions for improvement in every detail, so he is very familiar with the defense of Shenzhou Island.
The rest of the people passed the silk to each other, and they all felt that the impulses contained in this picture were penetrating, and all of them hit the mark. The defense of Shenzhou Island was like a beauty stripping naked in the busy city, and was in danger.
Qi Canghuang and Monk Xuanyin looked at each other in shock, and said cautiously: "I wonder where this picture comes from?"
Qing Ming did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you suspect that Tongchenyuan is deliberately causing ghosts?"
Qi Cang and Huang Nanran said: "I don't dare. The leakage of military planes is not a trivial matter. I have to be cautious."
Luo Wangshu observed the words and was convinced that the two of them were not pretending, so he said: "I will verify the breach of the defense plan. Now Mutong and Mulei are guarding the island with the mountain people. The situation is extremely dangerous. We should return to the defense immediately. To avoid changes.”
Qianxue echoed: "Right now, Shenzhou Island is unable to defend itself. This island is willing to go with the garden master to defend against powerful enemies."
When Qi Canghuang heard this, he suddenly felt bad. The demon cultivator's offensive was fierce. If the Shenzhou Army hadn't come to rescue today, I'm afraid the city defense would have been broken. Tongchenyuan and Cheyu Island will never return after withdrawing their troops. Not to mention that it is difficult to defeat the defense map. If they turn against each other when facing the enemy, Shenzhou will be in danger of being overturned. If the Huaqing Clan forces its friends to surrender to the enemy, it will also be reduced. For eternal sinners!
His thoughts suddenly changed and he said resolutely: "The demon cultivators have experienced defeat for the first time. They must be busy regrouping and dare not divide their troops to attack again. Please ask the garden master and the island master to lead their troops to Zixia Mountain to make plans, and we will worry about the rest. .”
Luo Wangshu said: "The proposal is very good, but I'm afraid that the alliance leader will not agree."
Qi Canghuang said: "The powerful army is coming to help. The master master is looking forward to seeing through it. It's just that the monsters are watching with eager eyes. After all, he is a little worried."
Luo Wangshu suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "In that case, I will follow the wishes of fellow Taoist."
Qi Canghuang did not expect that Luo Wangshu would agree so simply. He could not utter a single word out of the words of advice he had prepared, so he stood up and said: "We will reply to the alliance leader first, and we will wait for your arrival tomorrow."
Luo Wangshu refused to stay until he was sent off the island before returning.
After a while, orders were issued to Luo Wangshu and Xia Yanjun on the island, asking everyone to pack up and prepare to move to Zixia Mountain the next day.
Compared with the deserted wilderness like Wuming Island, Zixia Mountain's deep and solid walls are a truly safe barrier. After hearing the news, the monks all over the island cheered and reorganized their troops according to the order, calming down the sluggish atmosphere on the island.
Yan Ci wore the Liuxian clothes on the inside and the Nulan clothes on the outside. The Liuying sun-chasing boots faded into mysterious energy and mixed in the incantation of the Nulan boots. Being so fully armed, he couldn't help but feel a bit like galloping into the battlefield.
The only regret is that since returning from Penglai Mountain, Chifeng has crossed the river and demolished the bridge, following the Qingluan bird to flatter him all day long, vying for Han Bing's favor.
Yan Ci had no sense of existence. Every time he saw the divine bird Phoenix hiding and quarreling with each other in his free time, he would feel dizzy with hatred. He cursed that it would be better to exterminate this pair of plague birds that eliminate the weak and strengthen the strong as soon as possible.
Qi Canghuang was unhappy, thinking as he drove along the roadside, and realized that he had fallen into a trap.
The monks on Wuming Island were enjoying themselves and showed no sign of returning to defense or stationing themselves on the spot.
Upon closer inspection, from Xia Yan's empty words to evasiveness, to Qing Ming's appearance to introduce the topic by breaking the defense plan, to Luo Wangshu and Qianxue's retreat in order to advance, it seems that everything has been arranged, and his purpose is nothing more than to enter Zixia Mountain.
Monk Xuanyin was a clear observer and could vaguely guess Luo Wangshu's thoughts.
As the saying goes, it is easier to hide an open gun than a hidden arrow. Instead of leaving troops outside and being constantly suspected, Tongchenyuan would rather go directly into the city, where they can show their intentions and monitor each other. This is undoubtedly an excellent preservation strategy and can avoid many blatant calculations.
The two of them remained silent all the way and hurried back to Zixia Mountain to recover their lives. When they got outside the city, they suddenly saw a team entering the city with their heads high. They hurriedly went to inquire, but it was Huanye Palace who came after the victory in the battle at Fuyu Bay. Support.
Qi Canghuang became even more upset. If the news had arrived half a day earlier, he would never have warmly invited Luo Wangshu to come with everyone. Unfortunately, the deal was now done and there was nothing anyone could do.
Five hundred miles away from Zixia Mountain, there is an island called Huxin Island. The island's shores are winding and circuitous, and are rich in colorful and exotic living corals.
As the saying goes, kindness does not raise soldiers, Xi Yao distributed elixirs and spiritual materials on a large scale to boost morale, and then improved the reward and punishment system. Feng Miao was investigated for the crime of escaping before the battle, and he wanted to be punished severely.
Xi Yao was given a lenient sentence, but he personally tortured him by 100 points on the spine of his staff. Feng Miao was punished for his San Gong. He was beaten until his skin was torn, his tendons were broken, and his bones were broken.
All the demon cultivators on the island were horrified. Although this injury was not of any importance to Feng Miao and could be cured by just exercising in the tent for a few nights, a solemn Kongming cultivator lay prone on the ground and was tortured, and the pain was not reduced at all. Dare not say anything, it is simply unheard of!
The demon cultivator was awe-inspiring, and when executing military orders, he changed his decadent aura of defeat and backwardness. He practiced formations day and night in preparation for the return attack on Zixia Mountain Pass.
