Chapter 634 Meng Liangs Troubles
Chongzhou surabaya pass.
It was the Great Zhou, and it was also the southernmost part of the entire human realm.
Outside was the Southern Wilderness. There was an endless wilderness and a few oases. Compared to the barren soil of the Southern Wilderness, these oases were sacred places for the Southern Wilderness barbarians to fight endlessly.
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, or tens of thousands of years ago, the Southern Wilderness was a fertile land like the Central Plains. There was also a place where one's own civilization had been brewed. There was also a place where powerful empires had been established and collapsed.
No one knew why the Southern Wilderness had landed in such a field. It seemed that the Southern Wilderness had been like this since the beginning of history, and it was even more difficult to investigate where such a legend started.
Xu Han looked at the crowded heads in the Surabaya Pass and slowly descended into the air with an ugly expression, landing beside Qin Keqing.
Xu Han and the others had already arrived outside the Surabaya Pass at the southernmost end of Chongzhou. However, Xiao Shijiu and Zhou Yuan were weak. In addition, the people in the Surabaya Pass were complicated at the moment, so Xu Han and the others decided to find a place to rest and recuperate outside the pass and clear it tomorrow.
Beside the campfire, Little Nineteen and Zhou Yuan had already fallen asleep. Qin Keqing hurriedly walked forward when she saw Xu Han return.
"Eat something." She handed a roasted rabbit to Xu Han.
"Yes." Xu Han smiled at her, took the food and sat down beside the campfire, silently eating it.
Seeing that, Qin Keqing also sat down beside Xu Han. She supported her knee with one hand and leaned her cheek against the other. She stared at the campfire and was dazed.
"Where's Sister Hongjian?" After a while, Qin Keqing suddenly asked when she saw Xu Han handing the half-eaten rabbit to Xuan'er and Aowu, who were jealous to the side.
"She is still in Great Xia. There are some things that need to be dealt with." Xu Hanru replied.
"Oh." Qin Keqing nodded but did not dwell on this issue any longer.
Along the way, Qin Keqing was very quiet. Although she had been like this in the past, this time Xu Han could clearly feel that she was hiding her thoughts.
He was about to say something, but before he could say anything, Qin Keqing said again, "So, did Young Master Xu ask what I am?"
After rescuing Qin Keqing and the others from Chang'an, Qin Keqing suddenly fell into a coma. Xu Han examined the situation in Qin Keqing's body at that time, but surprisingly, he discovered that there was a terrifying power wreaking havoc in Qin Keqing's body, as if it was preparing to invade Qin Keqing's body. What surprised Xu Han even more was that that terrifying power actually had some similarities to the powerful Demon God's power in his body.
Knowing that the Demon God was dangerous, Xu Han didn't dare to let down his guard. That was why Aowu and the yellow monkey brought Zhou Yuan here. With Zhou Yuan's status in the Dark Asura Palace, he might be able to know something about the so-called Demon God Seed.
Hearing this, Xu Han's expression immediately changed. However, he quickly returned to his normal state. He smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that you can't suppress the power in your body due to your injuries. In the future, you have to cultivate hard before you can control the power of the divine seed in your body."
Qin Keqing had never doubted Xu Han. Hearing this, she did not doubt him, and her expression immediately relaxed.
"Young Master Xu." She added.
"Huh?" Xu Han turned to look at Qin Keqing.
At this moment, she had already taken off her luxurious but incomparably heavy royal robe and changed into ordinary clothes.
She was indeed not very beautiful, but she carried an indescribable tranquil temperament, like the flowing water of a mountain stream. The autumn rain in September was not enough to shock the soul, but it continued.
Xu Han was in a trance, but he quickly suppressed the unspeakable throbbing in his heart.
"Nothing." Qin Keqing wanted to say something but did not say anything. Instead, she looked at the campfire in front of her and was stunned again.
..
Xu Han could see that Qin Keqing seemed to be hiding something, but he didn't ask any further, because compared to Qin Keqing, Xu Han had more worries in his heart.
The night gradually darkened. After Qin Keqing sat with Xu Han for a while, she went to the grass behind her and slept sideways. Xu Han, on the other hand, looked at the fire in front of him alone. In his heart, he thought about the conversation he had with Zhou Yuan in the inn this morning.
..
"Half a demon?" Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's expression changed drastically, as if he subconsciously wanted to deny Xu Han's question.
"You can't come back to Dark Asura Hall anymore. It's not good for you to help them conceal this. You're a smart person. You've seen the changes in Great Zhou along the way. I hope you can make a clear distinction between the importance of it and the importance of it. For yourself, and for 19." Xu Han's words came out of Zhou Yuan's mouth before he could.
The expression on Zhou Yuan's face changed. After this struggle, he finally said, "The Half Demon Technique has a long history. If we really trace it back to the Primeval Era."
"Legend has it that humans and demons lived together in the Primeval Era, and the two races ruled the world together."
"Since they are living together, it is inevitable that a human demon will intermarry and give birth to half a demon."
"Those Half Demons were extremely talented, and they quickly cultivated to an extremely formidable level. They established a powerful dynasty and ruled the entire world."
'"The conflict between the two races gradually dissipated with the appearance of the Half Demon and Half Demon. Under the rule of the Half Demon, the two races who fought endlessly won a short period of peace. They built an immortal palace at the peak of Kunlun and built a heavenly pillar to connect the heavens and earth. An orderly system allowed the two races to multiply and prosper."
"But one day, The half-demons that ruled the world suddenly disappeared, The two human and demon races that had lost control fell into chaos. To quell this chaos, "The major powers of the Human and Demon Races began to search for the Half Demon. Many years later, they discovered the corpses of the Half Demon Races in the Kunlun Abyss. They all died there. No one knew what had happened. Only the motto that the Human and Demon Races could not marry was engraved into the laws of this world by the gods."
"The human and demon races that lost their half-demon rule fell into chaos again. After that, the ancient great powers forged three fierce swords, which drove the demon race to the 100,000 mountains. It was at that time that the human civilization officially began."
Zhou Yuan paused for a moment before saying again, "I was born in a secluded sect. Although there are no immortals in the sect, there is a method to control demons. Half of the sect was destroyed by the enemy. Only I hid in the secret sect of the sect was able to escape the calamity."
"I learned everything from the records of the sect. Later on, I wandered around, but I was destined to meet a monk. He was very knowledgeable about the demon race, so he helped me avenge the extermination of the sect. I feel his kindness, and I have loved the path of subduing demons since I was young. I have stayed in this Dark Asura Palace for 50 years."
"The Dark Asura Palace was built by the bereaved families of the deceased Chu. The Dark Asura Palace, which the Great Chu Emperor was obsessed with, was preserved in its entirety. However, it has never been able to reach its core. Although I have helped it since I entered the palace, it has always been difficult to nurture a perfect Dark Asura Palace." At this point, Zhou Yuan paused for a moment. He looked at Xu Hanzhi's words before saying, "Actually, the Asura in the Dark Asura Palace who cultivated the 'Asura Art' is, in a sense, a half-demon." This is a method that I discussed with the Demon Masters in charge of this matter in Dark Asura Palace. Since we were unable to directly cultivate a perfect half-demon, why not lure them to absorb the demon energy in large quantities and find a half-demon? After all, since the ancient sages engraved the motto that human demons cannot marry, there are no more half demons in this world. We can only use the stupidest method to create a half demon, and then apply medicine to the case to find the essential difference between humans and half demons. "
"Destiny dictates that, more than ten years after the birth of the Asura Art, we really found a half-demon in the depths of the Gu Forest that perfectly fused with demonic energy, that is, your friend Liu Sheng. With him as a sample, we quickly found the best fit between the human body and the demonic energy, and then we can start mass-producing half-demons. "The Saint Weapons, Saint Sons, and Saint Marquises you see are the products of this. Of course, because of the difference in individuals, the power they absorb is also different in the end. However, this is a huge improvement compared to the past."
Zhou Yuan was obviously extremely obsessed with this path. The expression on Zhou Yuan's face became a little excited as he spoke. He seemed to have forgotten his own situation and was bragging about his achievements.
"But this isn't all that half a demon has, is it?" Xu Han's words rang out in time.
This caused the fanaticism on Zhou Yuan's face to instantly subside by a few points. Zhou Yuan, who understood his situation, subconsciously shrank his head. Only then did he continue, "Of course not."
"Even the most powerful Saint Marquis the Dark Asura Palace can create right now, There was still a long way to go before the true divine seed, They are powerful, From the moment he was created, he had the power to rival an ordinary immortal, "But at the same time, their lifespans are very short. Unlike your friend, they were half-demons that were directly poured into the Demon King's blood and thus formed. While they obtained great power, that power was constantly destroying their vitality. They were unable to cultivate, and from the moment they were born, they began to die."
"This kind of thing is not what Dark Asura Palace wants. What they want is a true divine seed."
"Just like Liu Sheng and Ke Qing, they either need the Demon Lord's blood essence or the Nature Dragon Qi, right?" Xu Han asked again with a deep gaze.
"Yes." Zhou Yuan nodded again.
"But why aren't they much stronger, or even weaker, than those half-demons that you call imperfect?" Xu Han asked again.
Zhou Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, as you can see, although my status in Dark Asura Palace is not bad, it is far from reaching such a level. However, I heard that some great figures talked about this matter by chance one day."
"How is it?" Xu Han asked.
"The strength of divine seeds is not how much power they possess, but how much power they want to possess in their hearts."
"Whether it's your friend or this confidante in front of you, in my opinion, they are not too weak, but they are suppressing their own desires!"
..
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Naturally, there was no such thing as a power that appeared out of thin air.
Sikong Bai once thought that once he cultivated the Great Defying Sword Canon, he would be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm and revive the Exquisite Pavilion. In fact, the Great Defying Sword Scripture only brought him the power of mirrors. Xu Han had witnessed Sikong Bai's fate and felt an aura very similar to that of the Demon God from Qin Keqing. He couldn't help but secretly doubt the relationship between himself and the Half Demon in his heart.
The monitors once said that if Xu Han wanted to figure out what he was, he had to personally go to the peak of Kunlun, and the peak of Kunlun was also the burial ground of the gods of the past. Xu Han vaguely felt that there seemed to be countless connections between them, but it was difficult for him to sort them out.
However, the more this happened, the more Xu Han understood how much danger Senluo would bring to this world if he really created a large number of divine seeds.
The next morning, the humans sitting on the giant ape made of yellow monkeys leapt into the sky with the giant ape's strength. Below them was the Surabaya Pass at the southernmost part of the Great Zhou Empire, where the crowds surged and dense armies were ready to leave.
"So many people?" Xiao Nineteen couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the crowd below him.
"Are they all going to the Southern Wilderness?" Qin Keqing looked at Xu Han beside her and blinked in surprise.
Although they were at a height of a hundred feet, However, with Qin Keqing's cultivation, she could still vaguely feel that almost no one in this vast army had a cultivation lower than that of the Heavenly Hunt Realm. There were even some immortals amongst them. As far as she knew, there seemed to be no place in the entire Great Zhou that could possess such a powerful force. It was not even an exaggeration to say that such an army was enough to destroy the world with a destructive momentum.
"They are all half demons." At this moment, Zhou Yuan also came to a conclusion about this army.
"Xuan'er, make it faster. We need to get to the Sword Mausoleum before they reach the Southern Emperor." Xu Han ignored everyone's words and turned to look at the black cat on his shoulder.
"Meow!" Xuan'er, who had received Xu Han's order, let out a long cry.
Hearing this, the giant ape felt as if it had received an edict. The demonic energy around it surged, and its speed instantly increased again. It turned into a streak of light and charged straight towards the Southern Wilderness!
..
Three days later, the sun shone brightly in the Southern Wilderness, and it was like a different world from the Central Plains, where autumn was approaching the end of winter.
In front of the Sword Mausoleum Gate, there was little smoke.
Meng Liang, dressed in black, bit the tree branch and crossed his legs as he laid leisurely on the carpet made of wolf skin.
Meng Liang happily enjoyed the rare comfort after these few months of running. If there was any dissatisfaction, then the only ones were the two barbarian beauties beside him who were wearing exposed clothes and were shaking their fans for him.
Meng Liang could not be considered a gentleman, at least in his eyes full of happiness also could not be regarded as wrong with Fang Ziyu, and he and Fang Ziyu are still far from each other.
What truly made him dissatisfied was that the aesthetic standards of the barbarians were obviously very different from those of the people of the Central Plains. In the desolate Southern Wilderness, every tribe that wanted to survive had to believe in this cruel law.
The beauty of the Central Plains, who was as light as a swallow and had a waist that could not withstand a full grip, could only be regarded by the barbarians as a useless machine that could only turn food into rubbish. A strong woman with a big arm and a round waist, who could slay wolves with his saber, and who could peel off the skin to warm the bed, would be considered the most ideal wife.
As a tribute to Mola, Uda naturally offered the most beautiful woman in the tribe-well, to be exact, she should be the strongest woman in the tribe.
"Mora, drink water!" At this time, Wu Da, who was more than nine feet tall, walked over to Meng Liang and respectfully handed over a mud bowl filled with clear water.
Meng Liang, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. He looked at the big man with a flattering smile. He took the mud bowl and drank it down. Then, he turned his head to look at the sweaty Wuda. Suddenly, he asked, "Is it hot?"
The bronze-like man laughed foolishly as he wiped the sweat off his forehead and said in a brutal tone, "Not hot."
Such an answer caused the smile on Meng Liang's face to instantly collapse. He supported his forehead and let out a long sigh, but the gaze he looked at Wu Da wished he could press him to the ground and beat him up.
Five days ago, he had rushed all the way from the Chen Kingdom to the Southern Wilderness. Naturally, he had seen the vast army of Da Chu gathered in the Surabaya Pass. That scene really made Meng Liang's scalp go numb.
Because of this, he quickly returned to the Mausoleum of the Sword, but Wang Yangming refused.
The old man said, "If you want to return to the Sword Mausoleum, drive away the barbarians at the entrance."
The entrance to the Mausoleum of Swords was indeed much livelier than before. After meeting Mora, Uda thought that Mora was leaving the world. In order to keep their gods alive, Uda thought of a way to be extremely smart.
He moved the barbarian royal court directly outside the Mausoleum of the Swords, wanting to keep Mura who was leaving the world. As a result, the vast barbarians surrounded the Mausoleum of the Swords. They traveled dozens of miles to hunt in the daytime, and at night, they surrounded the Mausoleum of the Swords and sang hymns to show their devotion to Mora.
Meng Liang, who had returned to the Mausoleum of the Sword, chatted with Wang Yangming at the entrance of the Mausoleum of the Sword for a while before being chased out of the Mausoleum of the Sword. In the eyes of the barbarians, it was naturally Mo La who could talk to Mo La. Thus, Meng Liang was welcomed into the palace.
Meng Liang had the intention to persuade these barbarians to leave, Unfortunately, he didn't speak Barbarian, The few words he knew were only learned in these two days. Even though he had exhausted all his words, he was unable to explain the calamity that the Sword Mausoleum was about to face to these barbarians. On the contrary, when these barbarians saw the anxious look on their faces, they thought that they were not attending properly and were delivering delicious wine and delicacies to Meng Liang, as well as the strenuous efforts of peerless beauties.
However, regardless of whether it was beauty or wine, compared to the barbarians, the sacred grade was something that Meng Liang found difficult to swallow.
Meng Liang, who drank three cans of "sweet wine" and ate five "fat roasted chickens" under the expectant gazes of the barbarian children, was truly unlucky to enjoy the barbarian race's kindness, so he could only temporarily stop trying to explain the seriousness of the situation.
Young Master Meng thought about it and decided to enjoy the special treatment given to him by these barbarians. He tried his best to make things difficult for them. For example, he had to eat sweet dew from the green grass in the oasis a hundred miles away every day, or eat the craftiest and most difficult to catch Gray Plain Pheasant. He had originally thought that they would be tired after traveling so much every day. Unexpectedly, these barbarians were all brainless fellows. No matter how Meng Liang commanded them, they were willing to do so, and they were even particularly happy about it.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. The barbarians seemed to have made up their minds to set up camp here and had no intention of leaving.
On the contrary, Meng Liang thought about how the army outside the Surabaya Pass was like an arrow that left the string.
Meng Liang, who had no choice but to expel Wu Da, was worried that it would be good if Junior Brother Xu was there. That fellow had a ruthless expression, but this evil idea was more and more ruthless. If he were to come here, he should be able to think of a way to expel these barbarians.
Meng Liang sighed as he thought about taking advantage of the bright sunlight to sleep.
Dong!
Dong!
But at this moment, a loud noise came from afar, and the earth began to tremble, as if something enormous was rushing towards this place.
