The only step left before signing the Blood Alliance is to obtain the approval of Ouyang Yong, the eldest elder in the demon world. Because such a major ceremony as the blood alliance signing must be personally presided over by him, when the second-generation demon king fox Ouyang Xueye signed a contract with Ran Susu. In order to beware of those who may have lurked in Qingyun in the Wangcheng, Ouyang Hongye did not intend to announce Xia Qiu’s identity to ensure her safety before signing the blood alliance.
Ouyang Yong was a human orphan adopted by the early demon king Huli thousands of years ago. When he was four or five years old, his parents kindly took in two travelers who passed through their village, but they were killed by the two of them. The mother tried her best to protect him and escaped from the house. She was chased to the edge of the cliff by the perpetrators. It happened that Li ran into rescue him and killed the traveler.
Li took him back to the demon world to raise him. Due to the scene of his parents ’death, he once had extreme fear and hatred for humanity. He was the first prince after Li became the master of the demon world, dedicated and conscientious. Because he has experienced two eras from the first-generation demon king fox ceremony to the second-generation demon king fox Ouyang Xueye, he is familiar with everything that has happened in the demon world for thousands of years, and his style of elders is unshakable in the demon world. His prestige, he loves Ouyang XiaoLeng very much, just like his grandfather, he let him experience a rare affection in the demon world.
Ouyang Li had long heard of the name Xia Qiu, and her first choice as the contractor of the Ouyang Little Cold Blood Alliance aroused his great interest. In recent years, in order to restore the political balance of the demon world, he had to hide his true idea of supporting Ouyang Xiaolang to become the third generation demon king fox. With the opportunity of Ouyang Xiaolang being able to successfully sign a contract with Xia Qiu, he also wanted to make a break with the past .
Two days later, Xia Qiu’s feet once again set foot in the land of the demon world. In order to let others not notice her, Ouyang Hongye deliberately dressed up for her. He prepared a less noticeable black robe for her and put on a white mask for her, and concealed the human smell of her in a demon way.
She followed Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye from a small path toward the independent entrance behind the auxiliary star hall of the Chenji Palace. When she lifted her head halfway up, she saw the majestic black walls towering under the golden roof, and the main building was stacked on top. Red window mullion.
Before they entered the demon world, Ouyang Hongye introduced Xia Qiu to the structure of Chen Ji Palace. The entire Chenji Palace is divided into three main halls and four partial halls, which are named after the Big Dipper and each palace has its own independent courtyard. The front is the Tianshu Hall, leading to the main hall are the Tianxuan Hall and the Tianji Hall, followed by the Main Hall Tianquan Hall, and the inner hall Yuheng Hall are the other two side halls Kaiyang Hall and they are about to Go to the auxiliary star hall. The Tianshu Hall is the place where various ceremonies are held, the Tianquan Hall is the place for deliberations, the inner hall is the residence of the Lord of the Demon Realm, and the four side halls are separated by the four most respectable elders. Only the elder Ouyang Yong and the second elder Lion King Cheng are still alive, and Ouyang Yong lives in the auxiliary star palace.
The path leading to the Auxiliary Hall is actually a narrow staircase, which is made of many uncut stones, and the steps are different. A red gate appeared at the end of the staircase. The words “Auxiliary Star” were engraved from right to left. Ouyang Hongye reached out and tapped three times on the gate.
After a while, there was a sound of the bolt pulling, the door was slowly opened, and a burst of heat also came out from the inside. Standing behind the door was a giant bird surrounded by red flames. The giant bird saw them stretch their wings and salute them. Although Xia Qiu had already prepared for all the great monsters he might see, he was startled by the guy in front of him.
“This is a thorn, formerly my father’s subordinates, and now he follows Grandpa Yong. His job is to send messages between the world and the demon world. Don’t be scared by his current appearance. In fact, his character is very simple and even a little shy. Shy, but it is a mission that must be done. “Ouyang Xiaoleng explained to Xia Qiu with a slightly panicked expression.
“Brother Thorns, you really are. I know why a little girl came to see me differently.” Ouyang Hongye shook her head at the thorns.
Ouyang Hongye said that the thorns slowly converged the flames that burst into the body, and turned into a rough-haired young man with a little childish features. His body was very tall and sturdy, and his shoulders were covered with thorns. It makes people feel discouraged.
“Come with me, Lord Yong has been waiting for a long time!”
The sound of thorns is very different from his impression. It is tender and crisp and full of magnetism, as if the nightingale can hold the ears of the listener as soon as he opens his mouth. He takes a heavy step to guide Ouyang Hongye from their path to the auxiliary star. Walked inside the hall.
Xia Qiu finally got a glimpse of the true appearance of the main building inside the high wall. Although the wall of the main building is also black, it is not so depressed due to the layered red window frames, and the delicate pavilions in the inner courtyard are staggered With ancient royal style.
“When my grandfather became the first demon king fox, it was the Song Dynasty in the world, so the entire Chenji Palace was built around the Four God Pillars and built by the black bee demon family. It was built after the Song Dynasty.” Ouyang Xiaoleng looked at Xia Qiu Looking at the buildings around her, she said to her.
“Wow!” Xia Qiu was deeply shocked by the skill of the black bee monster.
The thorns brought them into the auxiliary star hall. The broad rectangular main hall was supported by six columns about two feet long. Rows of shelves are arranged neatly on both sides. On one side are displayed various types of weapons with different lengths and shapes, and on the other side are clearly stored various books collected by Ouyang Yong. Among them, in addition to books about the history of the human world and the monster world, there are various weapons usage methods and martial arts cheats. There are even Guqin scores, calligraphy collections and painting collections, all of which Ouyang Yong has always been most interested in.
At the end of the hall, there are huge agarwood screens behind the rosewood tables and chairs. The four-page screens are painted with four kinds of birds, peacock, wild duck, eagle and crane. The feathers and other details are very vivid and vivid. Bypassing the screen is the corridor leading to Ouyang Yong’s residence. The garden is full of red plum blossoms, exuding a fascinating and dark fragrance. It is already in the evening, and the bright orange-bellied bulbul and the sunbird are still on the branches. Tweeting tirelessly.
Ouyang Yong ’s room is across the corridor, and smells a fragrance of wood before stepping in. Entering the door is a dark brown sandalwood table and chairs and a huge screen full of plum blossoms. If it is not a seal and an inscription on the corner of the screen, it is more like a mirror reflecting the plum blossoms in the garden. The old man is hidden behind the screen. Laughter with the girl.
Before the thorns went in to report to Ouyang Xiaoleng, he walked behind the screen. On weekdays, his voice book and his facial expressions were also not emotional, but today it sounds different.
“Grandpa Yong!”
“Xiao Leng is here!”
“Brother Xiao Leng!”
Xia Qiu and Ouyang Hongye also walked in with the thorns. On the Arhat bed behind the screen was a calm-looking old man. The old man looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, and his head was full of crane hair, which was bundled into a hair crown. The plum hairpins inserted in the hair crown are very eye-catching. Although he is too old, he still has a bright eyes, and his white beard is like a fairy. Robes embroidered with gold silk embroidered on a navy blue velvet satin surface with a brown band at the waist.
The girl who had just heard her voice first had already put on Ouyang Xiaoleng ’s arm and stood beside him. The petite and exquisite girl in a peach-pink dress was lined with blown snow muscles, which was very beautiful because it was too The fair and vague facial features make the pair of crimson pupils like Mochizuki more gorgeous. The girl is looking at Ouyang Xiaoleng with a smile, it seems that the relationship between the two is intimate.
“Master Yong, I’ve brought it to you.” The thorn stepped forward to Ouyang Yong with a light bow and then backed away.
“Master Yong!” Ouyang Hongye also bowed slightly.
“Hongye doesn’t have to be more polite, please sit down.” Ouyang Yong let Ouyang Hongye sit in a chair beside Luohan’s bed, then nodded at Xia Qiu at a loss and said with a smile, “Little girl, you sit on me Be next! “
“Thank you!” Xia Qiu sat down next to Lord Yong, and tried not to look at the girl snuggling with Ouyang Xiaoleng.
“How can the atmosphere be so serious that you all scared the little girls by bowing and saluting one by one.” Lord Yong smiled apologetically when he saw no one responding, as if he had nothing to do with his grandfather in Xia Qiu’s eyes Two different things, “Thorn, where did Mochizuki go again? Wouldn’t it be secretly drinking my bar again, telling him that the red leaves they have arrived.”
“Yes!” The thorn retreated as soon as it responded.
Ouyang Yong’s wine cellar is full of fragrance, Mochizuki has tasted three kinds of wine in a row today and is still not in full swing. The wine here is different from other places in the demon world. Most of them are old brews collected by Ouyang Yong from the world. There are not a few that have been in existence for more than 100 years. Many of them are reluctant to drink. Mochizuki insisted on staying at Ouyang Yong as soon as he returned to Wangcheng. At first, he didn’t understand the reason, until he realized that his Tibetan wine was decreasing continuously.
Hearing the thorns that Ouyang Hongye had arrived, Mochizuki cheered up. He was always not interested in conspiracy. Whenever he was young, his brother listened to Yue Zhangluo. Later, after his brother married Snow Maiden Miao Xueyou, he began to travel around. Because of his extraordinary luck and good luck, he never fell into any crisis and made him uncomfortable thinking. Everything is capricious and safe for all. Returning to the elder brother Wangcheng and listening to the moon is no longer there, he chose to obey the arrangement of Ouyang Hongye in everything. In his eyes, Ouyang Hongye is no different from his own brother, and he is more wise and smooth than his brother.
Mochizuki Xiaoyao walked into Ouyang Yong ’s house without saying anything and sat down on the chair next to Hongye. Because he had seen Xia Qiu and drank again and again, this time there was no shyness last time. Xia Qiuzheng Ouyang Yong was asked about his feelings about the monster world.
“I don’t know how to use words to describe the beauty here, maybe I can’t dream it. Purple sky, skyless Manzhushahua, the magnificent Chenji Palace, the feeling of flying, and from The white lotus that I saw from the top of the mountain … But how to say, although Mei Ke is always lonely. “Xia Qiu blurted out without thinking, because this was the initial impression given to her by the demon world, but then she regretted whether it should be Express it more euphemistically.
“Many years ago, Xiao Leng’s mother said the same thing as you. Although it is beautiful, it is always lonely. At that time, the king city was comparable to the prosperity of the world, but it was not the case in Su Su’s eyes. The people here lived too much. It has lost a lot of precious things for a long time, such as the more precious emotions of human beings because of this life, the enthusiasm for doing things and the spirit of exploration for unknown things. “
Hearing Lord Yong’s name, the shoulder of Ouyang Hongye trembled with his heart, and his expression also changed slightly. Xia Qiu caught his head and captured this detail.
“Xia Qiu, Xiao Leng certainly didn’t tell you, purple blank lotus is a gift from his father to his mother, only to make her smile when she and Su Su’s first birthday together. Pure white and high-quality snow lotus It was the feeling that Xue Ye had in his heart. Before they knew it, I never found that Xue Ye had such a romantic cell. “Ouyang Hongye deliberately took the topic to cover up his embarrassment.
The origin of the purple blank lotus attracted Xia Qiu so deeply that she couldn’t extricate herself. How talented people she loved might be so painstaking for her. When a street lamp is lit, it is not just the Wangcheng There are two hearts in love at night.
“Since Mochizuki is here, gossip for a while and start talking about serious things!” Ouyang Yong said, frowning at the alcoholic smell of Mochizuki’s body, and then smiled slightly at the girl snuggling next to Ouyang Xiaolen. Snow Rabbit, go play elsewhere for a while! “
“Yes!”
Snow Rabbit let go of Ouyang Xiaoleng’s arms reluctantly, before she walked out of the house she pinched her nose deliberately at Mochizuki. Mochizuki was not angry but just looked at her tenderly.
“Snow Rabbit is the daughter of Mochizuki’s brother. Because he and Xiao Leng have known each other since childhood, they are like brothers and sisters!” Ouyang Hongye remembered that he had not introduced Snow Rabbit like Xia Qiu.
After Snow Rabbit left, Ouyang Yong put down the cigarette bag in his hand and took a sip of the tea cup again. When he put the tea cup down, the room followed him quietly.
“Although there are only a few of us sitting here, it is currently the only person in Wangcheng who can fully trust! Today, we are calling everyone to do nothing else, just to clarify our common goal! First, I must show my attitude, Although in the past few years I have to keep quiet about Xiao Leng ’s succession because of Xiao Lengshang ’s youth and to quell the contradictions of all parties in the king city, but I support the attitude of the demon king fox as the first elder established by the first demon king fox ceremony. It has never changed. Although Qingyun disappeared after the war 16 years ago, a lot of information about his men ’s activities has been confirmed recently. In order to meet another **** storm that may come at any time, we have to plan ahead. And the top priority is to help Xiao Leng ascend to the position of the demon king. What do you think of Hongye? “Ouyang Yong said with a kindly expression.
“Exactly! There are two factions in the king city about the position of the demon king. One is the Uyghur faction headed by the two elder lion king Cheng. They advocate that you or the lion king Cheng become the leader of the demon world. There are many supporters, the lion king. It is needless to say that the sincere sons of the prince, Hou Baobao, Fenghuo, and Wangshi Shiming, also include most princes and nobles; the other faction is the new faction, that is, those who support Xiao Leng ’s succession to the throne.
“Isn’t there such a big difference that there is no chance?” Mochizuki, who seemed sleepy, suddenly interrupted Ouyang Hongye.
“But we have three trump cards! The first one is Master Yong, your status and prestige as the eldest elder in the demon world are unmatched; the second one is me, as the righteous brother of the second-generation demon king fox, I am in the prince The status in the self-confidence is also important; the last one is the king of the amber dragon of the water city of Dongyao! “
“As I thought, although the Amber Dragon King has not left Dong Yao half a step for many years, his loyalty to the demon king fox will never lose to you.” Ouyang Yong said approvingly.
“Xia Qiu and Xiao Leng signed a blood alliance to open the power of the silver fox **** in Xiao Leng’s body, this is power; then I and Mochizuki accompanied Xiao Leng to Dongyao to seek the support of Amber Dragon King personally, this is right; the position of the demon king has always been smooth This is the reason for succession. With the support of this force, I believe that we can definitely win over the old-schoolers at the demon king election conference! “
Ouyang Hongye was talking with emotion, feeling a little closer to his ideal. Although Ouyang Yong has always been very fond of Ouyang Xiaolen in these years, his attitude always seems ambiguous when it comes to supporting him as the leader of the demon world. It is the first time that he is as clear and firm as he is today.
“Just do what you said, and I will preside over the blood alliance ceremony of the two of them two days later! I still have something to say to Xia Qiu separately, you stay here first! Xia Qiu, follow me to the courtyard!” Ouyang Yongbian He said that he stood up and led Xia Qiu to the courtyard and stopped in the empty field among the plum blossoms. Then he raised his hand and took the plum hairpin from his head and handed it to her. He said, “This plum hairpin is for you. , It will be your weapon. “
Xia Qiu took it cautiously, holding it in her hand and felt it was very light. It was slender and delicate in her hand, shaped like a black plum branch with a red plum on her hairpin. What does it have to do with weapons.
“Don’t underestimate this hairpin, try to calm down your heart, hold this hairpin in your hand, what do you feel?” Ouyang Yong recovered his previous kind encouragement Xia Qiudao.
Xia Qiu tried to calm down, and gradually she felt that the touch of hairpins in her hands had changed, and the thin hairpins seemed to have power flowing out through her hands. The nerve, even her brain, she felt it was trying to connect with her, what does this feel like?
“Knife?” Xia Qiu blurted out.
“Yes! This hairpin is called a plum blade. It is no different from ordinary hairpins for mortals, but only for those who can transcend its appearance and appreciate the breath of the knife it contains. This plum blade is a treasure of the first demon king fox ritual. It was a ten-year-old plum tree demon who had lost to him voluntarily plunged into the sea of fire, cast with his own demon bone and soul. The trunk is light, like a plum branch, but it has great power. The biggest difference between it and other weapons is that it still retains the spirit of the plum tree demon, and it only shows up when the owner it recognizes needs it. Ontology, and it retains memory of the tricks its owner has used and the attacks it has resisted, which will also greatly increase the combat effectiveness and defense of the user. Nearly two decades ago, it met what it aspired to The host, Xiao Leng ’s mother Ran Su Su, has since accompanied her for several years, and now it has chosen you. I will teach you the basic skills in the shortest time, and in the process of using it, it also Will continue to pass on your memory and fighting methods to you. “
Although Xia Qiu still seemed to understand Ouyang Yong ’s words, the plum blade in her hand was gradually taking shape, which really excited her. She also thought that it belonged to Ouyang Xiaolin ’s mother, and she felt no more in her heart. Touched out.
“When you sign the blood alliance, the power contained in your body will be fully opened, but how powerful it will become depends on your talents and future exercise. The basic abilities, such as strength, Speed and perception will be greatly improved immediately. Perception includes hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. Not only that, you will slowly learn to perceive the more essential things beyond the surface of things, just like you will The hairpin feels like its sword. The biggest difference between us and humans is perception. We can understand the essence of things and use them to transform them into power, whether it is wind, water, electricity, air, etc. The power contained in the material can be used by us. “
Ouyang Yong went on, as if he saw Xia Qiu the first time he understood why she would be one of the contractors of the blood alliance chosen by the gods. No chaos, the calm and calm share is very much like the original element. This may be the reason Mei Mei chooses her. She seems to be plum blossoms, even in the cold winter.
Xia Qiu listened to each sentence Ouyang Yong carefully with Mei blade in her hand. After two days she will become one of them in his mouth, with the power he said to surpass mortal, although her expression seems calm But the heart has made waves. She could not remember the pain in her heart when she saw Ouyang Xiaoleng’s Snow Rabbit, the wheel of fortune spinning too fast seemed to take her every second to another world she did not understand.
