Wangyu feels that time flies by so fast, and it’s Monday again in a blink of an eye. ◇↓◇↓Xiao◇↓ said, brothers and sisters, those who have recommended votes cast their votes.
Daqi Chenzhou, deep in the Ziling Mountains.
There are few towering peaks here, but the mountains are rolling, green, and surrounded by blue waves.
When the clouds and mist rise in the mountains in the early morning, looking from a distance, the entire mountain range has the faint appearance of a coiled dragon and a phoenix, and the scenery is spectacular.
At the "Dragon Head" position of the mountain range, there are two purple peaks of equal height, like the two horns of a dragon, shrouded in purple mist all year round.
Through the mist, it can be seen that there are many various buildings on the two peaks, most of which are attic. Many of the attics are connected by flying bridges, with red couplets carved with Chinese characters and longing figures.
This is where the gate of Miaoyin Sect, one of the three sects of Daqi, is located.
On the top of one of the mountains, a four-story purple palace is extremely eye-catching.
The entire palace is made of a purple boulder with golden spots, which shines with golden light under the sunlight.
At this time, in a stone room somewhere in the palace, a graceful and beautiful woman in green palace clothes was sitting cross-legged. Her clothes were covered with dense blue runes. As the clothes fluttered, waves of water-attribute fluctuations were emitted.
A fist-thick line of blue light shot out from the Tianling Cap above her head, like a whale spitting water, and soon turned into a blue light rain and scattered around her, turning into a piece of water.
The water under the beautiful woman in palace clothes became thicker and thicker, gradually turning into sea blue. After an unknown period of time, the water finally trembled, and a blue lotus rose up from the water. The blooming lotus held it up out of thin air.
She never fails.
At this moment, a jade bracelet on the wrist of a beautiful woman in palace attire trembled slightly, emitting a faint purple halo, and countless small runes emerged from the halo. A small magic circle was quickly formed.
Purple light flashed in the magic circle, and a palm-sized jade slip shot out.
The beautiful woman in palace clothes opened her eyes instantly, held the jade slip between her two fingers, and placed it on her forehead.
The next moment, her expression changed drastically. All the blue light on her body dissipated.
Then he suddenly stood up and hurriedly left the stone room.
Soon, more than a dozen figures flew to the peak from all directions and hurriedly entered a meeting hall of the Purple Palace.
Half an hour later, the meeting hall became empty again.
The beautiful woman in palace attire was sitting on the main seat, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and a look of exhaustion flashed across her face. After rubbing her swollen head, she turned over her hand and took out a white jade slip and put it on her forehead.
A moment later, she opened the communication circle again, flicked her right hand, and the white jade slip instantly disappeared into the void. Then she stood up with a heavy heart and walked towards the back hall.
In a certain stone room, a middle-aged woman wearing green clothes was putting a white jade slip on her forehead. Soon, she stood up with an ugly face and walked outside.
Almost at the same moment, several other stone chambers also opened one after another, and everyone looked solemn. The man named Xie from the Black Demon Sect was among them.
A stick of incense later, inside a majestic palace on the top of the mountain.
Seven figures sat on the left and right sides of the hall, each of them exuding the aura of a strong person as deep as the abyss.
These seven people are currently the people in charge of the alliance headquarters of the seven major sects. They are ordered by the heads of their respective sects to handle all matters related to the alliance and the fight against the barbarians on behalf of the sects.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit dull and depressing, and no one spoke.
"Everyone, this time, a total of eleven islands in our three countries were invaded by the Hai Clan overnight. All the defenders and civilians suffered heavy casualties, especially in our country, Da Qi. This has never happened in the past three hundred years.
This time, the Hai Clan ignored the armistice agreement and invaded openly and with great force. We have to take more precautions." The person in charge of the Xuanwu Sect, a thick-browed man who seemed to be in his thirties, was the first to break the silence.
"Now we are at war with the barbarians. If we add another sea tribe, we will be attacked from both sides. For the current plan, we must first negotiate peace with the barbarians." An old woman in purple robe said with a worried look on her face.
.
As soon as he finished speaking, two or three people immediately nodded in agreement, while the rest looked thoughtful and did not express their opinions immediately.
"There are many barbarian tribes, big and small. If we publicly propose peace, they may not be able to reach a unified opinion in the short term, and may even make unreasonable demands, which will not be easy to handle." The thick-browed man of Xuanwu Sect frowned.
"Humph, the East China Sea is vast and boundless. The power of the Sea Clan is definitely not something that our human race or the barbarians can contend with alone. Once any of our three kingdoms is destroyed, I am afraid that the barbarians will directly face the threat of the Sea Clan. We are waiting
As long as these barbarians know the various pros and cons, I believe they will not be so stupid and eventually let the Sea Tribe do things for their own benefit." The woman in green from the Miaoyin Sect said slowly.
"The barbarians are cruel and barbaric, and their temperament is unpredictable. It cannot be deduced by common sense. I believe that we should make two preparations. One is to strengthen the border defense along the East China Sea and completely ban the sea. At the same time, we send a secret mission to find the barbarian high priest to discuss a strike.
Matters." The old man in green from Tianjian Sect shook his head and said.
"Yes, although the barbarian high priest never leaves the barbarian forbidden land all year round, he has always been known for his wisdom and will never do anything to benefit others. And as the spiritual leader of the barbarians, he has the highest reputation among the barbarians. As long as he is willing to stop fighting,
, the rest of the tribes must comply." The man named Xie from the Black Demon Sect nodded.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present nodded in agreement.
"That being the case, do you have any recommendations for the leader of the peace negotiation mission?" the old woman in purple robe from Yinfu Palace said again.
"Princess Huowu of Da Qi is currently practicing in our Tianyin Sect, so she is a suitable candidate." A middle-aged woman wearing white clothes and a gold hairpin suggested with a twitching eye.
Princess Huowu's dual identity can represent both the sect and the Qi court, which is the largest in the Three Kingdoms. She is indeed a suitable candidate. After hearing this, the others all nodded in agreement after a brief consideration.
Now that the matters and candidates for peace talks have been determined, in the following time, everyone discussed the reduction of frontline battles and the deployment of defenses along the East China Sea coast.
Not long after the hall became quiet, the sound of fierce arguments came out again.
Three days later, the peace negotiation team headed by Princess Huowu immediately set off quietly from the capital of Da Qi.
In the vast sky, the blazing white sun scorches the endless wilderness below, with rust-colored, dry and cracked land everywhere.
Clumps of short lavender plants are sparsely spread on this barren land. Occasionally, there will be one or two low shrubs standing stubbornly upright.
Occasionally, you will also see some orange-yellow rocks of different sizes.
I don’t know how many years these rocks have been exposed to wind and sun. They have long been weathered. A strong wind blew by, and the rock debris disappeared, turning into debris all over the sky and dancing in the wind, seeming to tell the desolation of this place.
Such desolate scenery is a true portrayal of the barbarian wilderness that can be seen everywhere. Sometimes it even stretches for thousands of miles without any change.
At this time, a barbarian wearing animal skins and braided hair was slowly walking from a distance to the shadow of a five or six foot high rock.
This man has dark skin and a strong build, but is considered thin and short among the barbarians.
A silver scabbard and a huge bow sling were slung across his back, and in his right hand he held a long black knife wrapped in rags. There was also a bulging quiver hanging from the eye of his waist. He looked extremely sturdy when walking.
This thin barbarian was Shi Mu in disguise. At this time, he had been in the barbarian wilderness for half a month.
Along the way, he not only had to try his best to avoid the barbarian beast cavalry that appeared from time to time, but also had to fight with some ferocious beasts. In addition, the road and environment were unfamiliar, so the walk was extremely difficult.
But fortunately, he has now finally begun to enter the depths of the barbarian wilderness.
Shi Mu observed his surroundings vigilantly, and saw that there was still a desolate landscape without any life.
He then put down the black meteorite knife in his hand, took out the water bag and took a few sips. Then he sat down cross-legged in the shadow of the rock, concentrated his mind and energy, and began to practice the Prajna Celestial Elephant Skill.
The barbarian wilderness is extremely short of water, and traveling under such a scorching sun consumes a lot of water. Shi Mu doesn't have much water on his body, so he decided to travel by day and night from today on.
This is also a last resort. You must know that the night in the barbarian wilderness is very dangerous, and it is often the time when ferocious beasts and poisonous insects are most active.
But what troubles Shi Mu is that until now, he has not been able to find water sources in the wilderness at will. The only rule he has found is that where there is a jungle, there must be a water source.
When he first entered the wilderness, due to lack of preparation, Shi Mu encountered the embarrassing situation of water shortages several times. Thanks to the occasional enthusiastic ordinary barbarians he met on the road, they generously gave away their water bags after learning of Shi Mu's predicament.
, and guided Shi Mu to several water sources near him, so that he would not fall into greater danger.
Also, when he was traveling at night for the first time, he was accidentally bitten by a very small poisonous ant, and his right leg immediately became swollen. It was also an old barbarian man he met by chance who took the initiative to use a strange nearby medicinal herb to help him.
The ant poison was cured.
All this made Shi Mu surprised to find that ordinary barbarians had many kind and loyal people just like the human race, which made him less hostile to the barbarians.
Just as the sun was setting, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Shi Mu's eyes, and a dangerous aura woke him up.
Like a civet cat, Shi Mu silently jumped up from the ground, and the black meteorite knife fell into his hand naturally.
Only then did he realize that hundreds of wolf-like ferocious beasts with lavender fur and the size of calves had surrounded him, with pairs of hungry eyes shining with cruel and bloodthirsty light.
Shi Mu recognized at a glance that these ferocious guys were the notorious Storm Wolf in the barbarian wilderness.
The color of these storm wolves' fur is similar to that of most plants in the wilderness, and they walk silently. Once they locate prey, they move as fast as the wind and are very good at sneak attacks.
Although he was hiding behind the wolves, a much larger Gale Wolf King still caught Shi Mu's attention.
He raised his brows and immediately took a few steps forward. He jumped up and the meteorite knife in his hand turned into a black shadow and slashed down at the wolf.
A sound broke through the air
Six or seven black shadows in a row were as fast as lightning, rushing towards Shi Mu from all directions, and their snow-white minions arrived in an instant, at an astonishing speed.
Shi Mu's arm shook, and more than a dozen knife shadows spread out in all directions.
"Puff!" A muffled sound of a sharp weapon being inserted into the flesh was heard continuously.
For a moment, the smell of blood arose, and the seven wind wolves were howled and chopped into two pieces by Shi Mu.
Shi Mu was forced to stop because of this. Before he could make a move, more than a dozen black figures pounced on him. At the same time, the figure of the alpha wolf quickly disappeared among the wolves.
