The Pingle Kingdom is very large. Under the leadership of Ouke, a few people walked around the city, climbed to the tower, and looked at the scenery in the distance. A day had passed.
What surprised Lu Xiao was that the Pingle Kingdom was very different from what he imagined. For a long time, he had thought that the Pingle Kingdom was just a gang formed by a group of escaping spirits to seek peace, just to fight each other when problems arose.
There was someone taking care of him. But when he really went deep into it, Lu Xiao discovered that this place was by no means as simple as he imagined.
A hobbling old man may be a down-and-out immortal with great spiritual power; an elegant Confucian scholar with a pleasant smile may be a cold-blooded demon who has killed countless people; a handsome young man holding a book of poems and reading aloud may be a spiritual practitioner.
A ten thousand-year-old venomous snake and beast; a young woman who leads a group of children in singing may be a hidden master who lives in the world ------
Everyone lives here peacefully and harmoniously. They are just ordinary people in this world, living a simple and happy life. The entire Pingle Kingdom is a "ball" shaped and maintained by these "ordinary people" with their spiritual power.
", enveloping the entire city, surrounded by a sea of flowers and a weak river that never dries up.
Not only are the residents diverse, but the layout here is also unique and innovative. The entire Pingle Kingdom is in the shape of a ring and is divided into five parts, called the Five Heavens. They are: Asking the Heart, Knowing the Retreat, Paradise, Killing and the Holy Land.
From the Ruishui River to the city gate, where the Bianhua flowers are located, it is called Wenxin. Due to the nourishment and irrigation of the huge spiritual power, the Bianhua flowers here are as red as fire all year round and always bloom undefeated.
Whenever someone activates spiritual power, the fragrance of Bana Flower will overflow, and illusions will arise one after another. Losing oneself in the fragrance of flowers and awakening true love is a test that everyone who enters the Pingle Kingdom must go through. Here, everyone believes that only
Only by awakening the true love buried deep in the heart can one clearly see a person's soul. Only those who are loyal to love will be loyal to their beliefs and responsibilities.
Enter the city gate and walk through a relatively open area, and a second city gate will appear. This area is called Zhitui. If friends or residents of the kingdom pass by, it will be just an empty space, but people with high spiritual power will
It is not difficult to find that there are many traps here and murderous intent is everywhere.
One wrong move and you may fall into a mountain of swords and fire; touching an inconspicuous stone may trigger poisonous arrows in the sky; even making a slight sound inadvertently will trigger the opening of a formation, leaving an army in a fog and waiting to die.
------Anyone with ulterior motives for the kingdom will be punished here and retreat when faced with difficulties. Moreover, this is also the execution ground of Pingle Kingdom. Anyone who makes a mistake will be punished here.
Entering the second city gate, you come to the "paradise" where residents live. There are ancient pavilions and modern garden fountains here. There is no noise and complexity in the metropolis, nor the hawking and quarrels in the downtown area.
The place is full of greenery, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant. Everyone will complete their obligations according to regulations, clean up the environment, prepare food, make daily necessities, take care of new members, and then go to the designated location to receive daily necessities. Here, everyone’s face is full of greenery.
Overflowing with calm and happy smiles, the troubles of the mundane world have nothing to do with them, and their paradise-like life makes them elegant and kind.
The two heavens further inside are inaccessible to Lu Xiao and others. Oke said that the "Holy Realm" in the center is very small, probably like a palace in the human world, and ten members of the Pingle Kingdom live in the back hall.
An elder.
The great elder seems to have been seriously injured and needs to retreat every once in a while. Therefore, most matters in the Pingle Kingdom are decided by the other nine elders through discussion. Only major matters related to life and death will alert the great elder.
. Its periphery is the so-called "killing". To put it bluntly, it is the escort of the elders. Although there are only two hundred people, they are all elites, guarding the "holy realm" day and night to ensure the safety of the elders.
After walking around and looking at Lu Xiao's somewhat uninterested face, Ouke wisely suggested that he go to his house to take a rest and prepared various fine wines to entertain everyone.
When Lu Xiao poured cups of wine into his mouth angrily, Meng Zirou's cold profile appeared in front of him again.
——"Lu Xiao, I am very grateful for everything you have done. But I hope you understand that Meng Zirou, who loved you deeply more than three hundred years ago, is dead. Everything she did is right or wrong.
, you don’t need to compensate me------"
——"If your love is only out of guilt and regret, then I can tell you clearly now that I don't need your pity, I don't need your responsibility, and I don't need you to talk about love while thinking about another woman in your heart.
I don’t need to be your second best. If the one you love in your heart is not the current Meng Zirou, please don’t get close to me again! ------"
Chi Lian hurriedly broke into the door and said slightly nervously: "Great Protector, I finally found you. Just now we and the young master were chatting in the house, and suddenly we heard the noise outside, and many people were talking about the arrival of the Wind Witch.
, we have reached the "Knowing Retreat", everyone went to help resist, but many people died. The young master also went with a few of them, I was afraid that something might happen and I came here to inform you."
"Isn't the Pingle Kingdom protected by a barrier? How could it be breached so easily?" Oak asked in confusion, holding a wine glass.
"I heard that the Wind Witch is best at controlling wind and sand. Any tangible or invisible object will be eroded by her, so any barrier is useless in front of her!" Chi Lian explained simply.
"No, Master, how can you go? Her injury hasn't healed yet! Great Protector ------" Xian Yin suddenly remembered something and screamed. She was about to turn around and ask Lu Xiao for his opinion, but found that the person next to her was
The chair had long been empty, and a black figure was rushing out of the door quickly.
"Wait for me!" Xian Yin shouted, dropped the wine glass and ran out. The phantom movement and wind control skills were sealed here, and everyone had no choice but to run towards the second city gate.
From a distance, I saw yellow sand flying all over the sky outside the city, mixed with black soil and gravel, forming a rotating sand pillar, rising into the sky, with a huge skull at the top, roaring towards me, covering the sky and the sun.
, constantly impacting all objects that hinder its progress. It seems like a huge black velvet curtain rises from the ground, tightly covering the sapphire blue satin-like sky.
Countless red flowers and white roses were uprooted, floating and spinning in the air, torn to pieces by the raging wind. Red flowers, white stamens, green leaves and purple rhizomes were tumbling in the dark black storm.
Moving, struggling, appearing and disappearing from time to time, forming a strange and bewitching picture.
The residents of Pingle Kingdom stood in several rows, facing the wind and sand, driving their spiritual power, and working together to support an invisible barrier, barely fighting against the wind and sand. In the darkness, amid the beating of flying sand and rocks, under the beast-like roar of the wind In the roar, no one has the privilege of hiding in the greenhouse, and no one has the right to retreat.
Everyone's mood also turned from anger to panic again and again. People kept being thrown into the air by the strong wind, screaming and being torn into pieces, and people kept joining the human wall to fill the gap. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. , mixed with choking dust, torturing everyone's eyes, nose and soul.
Meng Zirou, Xingyun and the others stood in the front row, their long black hair flying wildly, and their red uniforms rustling in the strong wind. As their spiritual power continued to be consumed, their pale faces became even more bloodless, but they were still there. Constantly reminding Shen Muxin next to her: "Muxin, your cultivation is not enough, get out of here quickly!"
"I don't want it!" Shen Muxin stood upright stubbornly. Although her body was already overwhelmed and shaky, she still managed to persist: "Resisting evil spirits is our mission as cultivators. If you can do it, I can do it too! "
The wind and sand got into her open mouth unceremoniously. Shen Muxin was choked and coughed repeatedly. Her feet went weak and her body was blown back by the wind. She screamed and was swept into the air by a gust of wind.
"Mu Xin!" Shocked to realize that Shen Mu Xin was swept into the air, Meng Zirou hurriedly retracted her spiritual power, turned around and jumped up, grabbing Shen Mu Xin's ankle. She planned to pull her back, but she didn't want to be pulled by the strong force. Go up.
Seeing this, Meng Zirou gritted his teeth, exerted his strength in his arms, jumped up, held Shen Muxin in his arms, and used his spiritual power to form a huge protective barrier around his body, tightly wrapping the two of them. Even so, the two of them were like struggling sailboats in the sea, constantly being bumped, circled, and tossed by the wind and waves. The red barrier began to slowly thin and shrink with the impact of the wind and sand, and it was about to disappear. , a low scolding stopped everything.
