Chapter 386: Ethnic Struggle
"The Demon race delegation is coming to visit the human race? Is this true?"
"It is said that the messenger has already rushed to Shengjing with a whip, and sent the visiting list, which also includes the Demon race royal family."
"Why did the Demon race's attitude change so quickly?"
"This is unknown to anyone..."
West of Shengjing, in several cities in the prosperous land of the human race, since the cool morning breeze, the news from Yunzhou has made everyone in the city discuss endlessly.
Since the fall of Youzhou and Yunzhou, the Demon race and the Barbarian race have both been invaders in the eyes of the human race.
The only difference is that the human race has a history of attacking and guarding the wall against the Barbarian race for a thousand years without interruption, but has no great hatred with the Demon race, and even had a period of harmonious trade.
Now the human race's vitality has not yet recovered, and there are conflicts among the Six Great Immortal Sects, making it difficult to unite. The ethnic group has no power to counterattack and can only disintegrate the allied forces of the Demon and Barbarian races through continuous missions.
But standing from the perspective of the Demon race, they must be clear about the human race's thoughts. It stands to reason that they should stick to the alliance with the Barbarian race and refuse the mission.
But the current situation has turned into the Demon race meeting the human delegation and being willing to send a delegation to visit the capital in the hinterland of Qingshan.
Are they not afraid that the Barbarian race will be suspicious? Are they not afraid that the Barbarian-Demon Alliance will collapse?
You must know that if the Demon and Barbarian races are not so united, the human race has a chance to drive them out of the territory. I think the Demon race will also know this.
It is precisely because of this that the people who heard this news will be particularly puzzled.
In the gentle autumn afternoon, the twilight clouds gathered, the sun slanted to the west, and the merchant flags fluttered unevenly.
The thousands of houses were lined up like scales, the flying eaves and bucket arches hung with copper horses, and the wind made a clear sound mixed with the noise of the market.
The air was filled with the burnt fragrance of freshly baked sesame cakes, the sweet and sticky fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus.
In Dongniu City in the southwest of Zhongzhou, Seeing Ji You and Yuanchen walked out of the bookstore. Both of them were carrying a thick bundle of storybooks, talking and walking, and stepped into the restaurant opposite the bookstore.
Ever since Seeing Ji You temporarily ended his breakthrough, Yuanchen, who was stifled, dragged Seeing Ji You to run around. Now they have visited eight major cities in Zhongzhou, entered countless teahouses with storytelling programs, and bought countless storybooks.
But his addiction to dreaming of becoming a hero was not satisfied, but became more and more intense.
At that time, Seeing Ji You had just sat down, and Yuanchen supported the table with his elbows, holding the storybook, watching carefully and fascinatedly.
"Are these storybooks enough for you to read for a few months?"
"Enough, but these brain-supplemented works are still not as exciting as brother-in-law's real experiences. The Qingshan world still needs talents like Brother Gongshu."
Seeing Ji You turned over the upside-down teacup, and when he poured the tea, the corners of his mouth grinned: "His storybook is also purely brain-supplemented, fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps."
Yuanchen raised his eyes: "But it's good-looking!"
"A child like you is brain-damaged by this kind of thing."
Seeing Ji You said, handed one of the clear teas to Yuanchen's hand, drank his own tea, and also picked up a stack of books he brought from the table.
The cultivators in the Qingshan world all admire Dao cultivation, feeling that enlightenment is the only orthodox way to cultivate immortality, so no one has practiced body refinement, so that the classics about body refinement are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
But he has already reached the ninth level of the physical Boundless Realm, and is about to Spirit Travel.
Spirit Travel is a realm exclusive to the Enlightenment Realm, the purest sensing between heaven and man, and spirit and flesh are mutually restraining existences. How can there be a concept of physical Spirit Travel? This makes him have to be cautious and needs to find some theoretical support.
And while strolling through the bookstore with his brother-in-law, he was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few storybooks with body-refining cultivators as protagonists, which reminded him of his experience of searching for the traces of the Night Watchmen.
Some things forgotten by human cultivators will spread to the mortal world and be used as creative materials, which is also a very common situation, so Seeing Ji You feels that these storybooks should have some ancient records about body-refining cultivators.
The books he brought in now are the ones he collected these days, stories about body refinement.
Reaching out to open the first storybook called "Body Like Jin Gang", Seeing Ji You began to read immersively.
The young Seeing Ji You is a mortal disciple from a humble background. Because his sister was captured by the Demon Sect, he joined the Immortal Sect, but his background caused him to be undervalued by the Immortal Sect, and the resources he could obtain were very few, so he had to embark on the path of body refinement that didn't need so much inheritance.
He worked diligently, cultivated continuously, and finally won first place with an unquestionable record in a competition called the World's First Enlightenment Assembly.
"?"
Seeing Ji You looked with one eye big and one eye small, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
It's broken, this is my story. I said why Seeing Ji You is so familiar. It turns out that I am already a template for cool articles in the hearts of mortals.
However, thinking about it carefully, this is also reasonable. After all, most of those who use this kind of storybook for fun are mortals, and most of them have the same background as Seeing Ji You. Perhaps only such stories can make them have a sense of substitution, so that they can have a false longing that they can change their class one day.
But those who write books are too lazy, and don't even want to think about one more name.
He endured the embarrassment of his toes curling and continued to read, and saw the protagonist in the story wandering all the way, becoming famous, and then being loved by a rich woman and her sister at the same time, and spent a large section of life described with heavy ink.
Forget it, this is a new story.
It's not Shang Zhou's, it's last week's.
Seeing Ji You confirmed this point, and then picked up the second one.
The young Qin Yun was born in a declining ancient clan. Because the family gradually declined, he was suppressed. So he left to apprentice, met a burly woodcutter in a mountain village, and embarked on the path of body refinement.
Got it, not my story. Seeing Ji You was energetic and looked back with interest, but as he looked, his face began to stiffen slowly.
In the story, the young Qin Yun wandered all the way, defeated the clan disciples and entered the inner sect. When he encountered a heaven-sent opportunity, he was restricted by the sect elders, requiring him not to use killing moves, but finally he broke it with strength, and was finally loved by the rich sisters at the same time.
Sister in the day, sister in the night, and the sister also likes to pant and call brother-in-law.
There is originality, but not much. Except for the part compiled at the beginning, basically everything is his own.
Seeing Ji You's interest was slightly cold, but he still patiently looked at the third one.
The young Di Qiu is an orphan, begging for a living since he was a child. Once, because he shared half of the steamed bun he begged with an old beggar on the street, he got his body-refining inheritance. Later, he defeated the clan disciples and entered the inner sect, but was targeted. Later, he broke the law with strength and was loved by sisters, and lived a life without shame.
Good guy, it turns out that no matter what the beginning is, I have lived a life without shame with sisters.
Seeing Ji You closed the book directly, and after a long silence, he expressed understanding. After all, these bridges with "um, ah" are indeed what the common people love to see...
Yuanchen was looking at his brother-in-law at this time, thinking to himself that reading a book is reading a book, how can he still have a temper? So he reached out to touch "Body Like Jin Gang", but was pressed down by Seeing Ji You before he could pick it up.
"This is not something children can watch."
"?"
Just when Yuanchen was stupid, a man wearing a rolled-edge short robe of the Wulv Firm walked to the street, looked around, and locked onto Seeing Ji You's figure in the restaurant, so he hurried over.
This man soon came to the second floor of the teahouse, stopped at Seeing Ji You's table, and handed over a message.
Seeing Ji You reached out to take the letter, opened it and took a look, and found that this letter came from the north of Qingzhou, and the messenger was Xiang Kuangcheng.
There is not much information in the letter, mainly two sentences: I am going back to the capital, when will Brother Ji return to see me.
Ever since he saw Xiang Kuangcheng say he was going to visit the Demon race, and asked him if he had anything to bring to his old friends, Seeing Ji You had been afraid that he would talk nonsense because he believed Gongshu Chou's story and get his dog head cut off.
However, since a few days ago, news that the Demon race was going to visit the capital has been coming around, which made him feel a little relieved.
Because if the Demon race really had the intention of being friendly, it would be impossible to really attack the human delegation. Xiang Kuangcheng would naturally not encounter any danger, so it was within Seeing Ji You's expectation that he would return to the capital.
But just after invading the Nine Prefectures, is it realistic to be friendly? Or does the Demon race have other intentions?
*Deng deng deng*——
A burst of beast hoofs running wildly sounded along the road.
At that time, on the official road of Shengjing, six tall demon beasts were spraying rough air from their nostrils, stepping over with four hooves, and the scales all over their bodies were slightly glowing blue under the refraction of the sun.
And behind these six demon beasts, there were three demon beasts, pulling a carriage.
Through the gauze curtain of the carriage window, one could see a woman sitting quietly. A breeze swept by, which could make the gauze curtain half-lifted, revealing the slightly indifferent flower face, and the very eye-catching scarlet vertical pupils. ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
