The Gate of the Genkai

: Pretending to be Desolate

Wang Yu felt that time passed so quickly, and it was Monday again in a blink of an eye. Brothers and sisters, those who have recommended votes voted

Daqi Chenzhou, deep in the Ziling Mountains.

There are few towering giant peaks here, but the mountains are rolling and rolling, surrounded by green waves.

When the clouds and mist rise in the mountains in the early morning, looking from a distance, the whole mountain range has a faint momentum of coiling dragons and phoenixes, and the scenery is spectacular.

The position of the “dragon head” of the mountain range is two purple peaks of the same height, like the horns of a dragon, shrouded in purple mist all the year round.

Through the mist, we can see that there are many buildings of various types on the two peaks, most of which are attics, and many of them are connected by flying bridges.

This is one of the three sects of Daqi, the gate of Miaoyinzong.

On the peak of one of the peaks, a four-story purple palace is very eye-catching.

The whole body of the palace is made of a purple boulder with golden flecks, which shines golden in the sunlight.

At this time, in a certain stone room in the palace, a beautiful woman dressed in a green palace dress with a graceful temperament was sitting cross-legged. Her clothes were covered with dense blue runes. As the clothes fluttered, there were waves of water attribute fluctuations.

A fist-thick blue beam of light rushed out from the sky cap above her head, like a whale spitting water, and soon turned into a blue light rain and sprinkled around her, turning into a piece of water light.

The water light under the beautiful woman in palace costume became more and more intense, and gradually turned into sea blue. After an unknown amount of time, the water light finally trembled, and a blue lotus rose up from the water, and the blooming lotus held it up out of thin air. She never falls.

At this moment, a jade bracelet on the wrist of the beautiful woman in palace costume trembled slightly, emitting a faint purple halo, and countless small runes emerged from the halo, quickly forming a small magic circle.

A purple light flashed in the magic circle, and a palm-sized jade slip shot out.

The eyes of the beautiful woman in palace attire opened instantly, two fingers clamped the jade slip, and stuck it to her forehead.

next moment. Her complexion changed drastically, and all the blue light on her body disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up suddenly, and hurriedly left the stone room.

Soon, more than a dozen figures flew from all directions to the peak, and hurried into a meeting hall of the purple palace.

After half an hour. The conference hall became empty again.

The beautiful woman in palace attire was sitting on the main seat, her eyebrows were frowned, and a look of exhaustion flashed across her face. After rubbing her swollen head, she took out a white jade slip and stuck it on her forehead.

After a while. She opened the communication circle again, flicked her right hand, and the white jade slip disappeared into the void in an instant, then stood up with a heavy heart, and walked towards the apse.

Daqi, Tianqing Mountain, the headquarters of the Seven Sects Alliance.

In a certain stone room, a middle-aged woman in green clothes was sticking a white jade slip to her forehead. Soon, she stood up with an ugly expression. go outside.

Almost at the same time, several other stone chambers were also opened one after another. Everyone had serious expressions on their faces, and the man surnamed Xie from the Black Demon Sect was among them.

After a stick of incense, there was a majestic palace on the top of the peak.

Seven figures sat on the left and right sides of the hall, and each of them exuded a deep and powerful aura.These seven people are the people in charge of the seven major sects who are currently staying at the alliance headquarters. They are ordered by the heads of their respective sects to represent the sects in handling all matters related to the alliance and the fight against the barbarians.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit dull and depressing, and no one spoke.

“Everyone, a total of eleven islands in our three kingdoms were invaded overnight by the Hai Clan. The defenders suffered heavy casualties, especially our Daqi. This has never happened in the past three hundred years. This time, the Hai Clan violated the armistice agreement, and they are threatening. We have to take more precautions.” The person in charge of Xuanwuzong, a thick-browed man who seems 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 face the enemy. For the present plan, we should negotiate peace with the barbarians first.” An old woman in a purple robe said with a worried expression on her face. .

The voice just fell. Immediately, two or three people nodded in agreement, while the rest showed contemplative expressions and did not express their opinions immediately.

“These barbarians have many tribes, big and small. If we openly propose peace, they may not be able to reach a unified opinion in a short period of time, and they may even make unreasonable demands.

“Hmph, the East China Sea is vast and boundless, and the power of the Sea Clan is definitely not something we humans or barbarians can contend with alone. Once any of our three kingdoms is destroyed, the barbarians may directly face the threat of the Sea Clan. As long as these barbarians know all kinds of advantages and disadvantages, I believe that they will not be so dull, and finally let the sea people do what they can do for the fisherman.” The woman in green from Miaoyinzong said slowly.

“The barbarians are cruel and savage, their temperaments are unpredictable, and they cannot be deduced with common sense. I think we should make two-handed preparations. One is to strengthen the border defenses along the East China Sea and completely prohibit going to sea. At the same time, we will send a secret mission to discuss with the high priest of the barbarians to stop the war. Matters.” The old man in Tsing Yi of the Heavenly Sword Sect shook his head and said.

“That’s right. Although the high priest of the barbarians has never left the barbarian forbidden land, he has always been known for his wisdom and will never do things that benefit others. Moreover, 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 obey.” The man surnamed Xie from the Black Demon Sect nodded and said.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present nodded in agreement.

“Since that’s the case, do you have any recommendations for the chief envoy of the peace talks mission?” The purple-robed old woman of Yinfu Palace said again.

“Princess Huowu of the Great Qi Kingdom is currently practicing in our Tianyin Sect, so she is a suitable candidate.” A middle-aged woman in white and wearing a golden hairpin suggested with a wave of her eyes.

The dual identity of Princess Huowu, who can represent both the sect and one of the largest courts of Qi in the Three Kingdoms, is indeed a suitable candidate. After hearing the words, the others nodded in agreement after a short consideration.

Now that the matter of peace negotiation and the candidates have been determined, in the following time, everyone discussed the shrinking of the front line and the deployment of defenses along the coast of the East China Sea.

It didn’t take long for the main hall to calm down, and then there were voices of fierce dispute again.

Three days later, the peace negotiation team headed by Princess Huowu quietly set off from the capital of Daqi.

In the silhouetted sky, the blazing sun scorched the endless wasteland below, and the rust-colored dry and cracked land was everywhere.

Clumps of lavender dwarf plants are sparsely laid out on this barren land, and occasionally there will be one or two low shrubs standing stubbornly.

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 the wind and sun, and they have already been weathered. It turned into debris all over the sky and danced in the wind, as if telling the desolation here.

Such desolate scenery is a true portrayal of the barbarian wasteland that can be seen everywhere, and sometimes it will not change even if it stretches for thousands of miles.

At this time, one was wearing animal skins. The barbarian with braided hair was slowly walking to the shadow of a rock five or six feet high from a distance.

This person has dark skin and a strong figure, but he is considered thin and short among the barbarians.

A silver scabbard and a huge bow bag are slanted behind him, and a black long knife wrapped in rags is held in his right hand. There is also a bulging quiver hanging on his waist and eyes, making him look extremely sturdy when walking.

This thin barbarian is Shi Mu in disguise. At this time, he has stepped into the barbarian wasteland for half a month.

this way. He not only had to avoid the barbarian beast cavalry that appeared from time to time as much as possible, but also fought some ferocious beasts. Coupled with the fact that the road and environment were unfamiliar, the journey was extremely difficult.

But fortunately, now he finally started to enter the depths of the barbarian wasteland.

Shi Mu looked around vigilantly, and saw that there was still a desolation without any life.

Only then did he put down the meteoric iron black knife in his hand, took out the water bag and took two small sips, and then sat cross-legged in the shadow of the rock, concentrating on it. Start practicing Prajna Celestial Art.

The barbarian wasteland is extremely short of water, and traveling under such a scorching sun consumes a lot of water. Shi Mu’s body is running out of water, and he decided to start from today. Change to day and night.

This is also a last resort. You must know that the night in the barbarian wasteland is very dangerous, and it is often the time when fierce 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 as he pleases in the wasteland. The only rule found is that where there is a forest, there must be a source of water.

When he first entered the wasteland, due to lack of preparation, Shi Mu encountered the embarrassing situation of water shortage several times. Thanks to the occasional enthusiastic ordinary barbarians on the road, after they learned of Shi Mu’s predicament, they generously gave away their own water bags , and guided several water sources near Shi Mu, so that he would not fall into greater danger.

Also, when he was on his way at night for the first time, he was accidentally bitten by a very small poisonous ant, and his right leg immediately became swollen. He was also a barbarian old man who happened to meet, and he took the initiative to use a strange herb nearby to help him Ant poisoning was cured.

All of this surprised Shi Mu to discover that ordinary barbarians, like the people of the human race, also have many kind and honest people, which made him much less hostile towards the barbarians.

Just as the sun was setting on the western mountain, Shi Mu’s eyes suddenly flashed a bright light, and a dangerous breath woke him up.

Like a civet cat, Shi Mu bounced up from the ground without a sound, and the meteorite black knife fell into his hand naturally.

Only then did he realize that hundreds of wolf-shaped ferocious beasts with lavender fur and the size of a calf had surrounded him, their hungry eyes shining with cruel and bloodthirsty light.

Shi Mu recognized at a glance that these ferocious guys were the notorious Gale Wolf in the barbarian wasteland.

The fur color of these wind wolves is similar to that of most plants on the wasteland, and they walk silently. Once they lock on their prey, they move as fast as the wind, and are very good at sneak attacks.

Although hiding behind the wolves, the Gale Wolf King, which was a lot bigger, still caught Shi Mu’s attention.

He raised his brows, and immediately rushed forward a few steps before jumping up, the meteorite knife in his hand turned into a black shadow, and slashed down at the wolf in anger.

There was a crackling sound

A series of six or seven black shadows rushed towards Shi Mu from all directions like lightning, and the snow-white minions arrived in an instant, with an astonishingly fast speed.

Shi Mu’s arm trembled, and more than a dozen knife shadows separated in all directions.

“Puff…” There was a muffled sound of sharp weapons piercing into the flesh

For a moment, the smell of blood rose, and the seven Gale Wolves were cut into two by Shi Mu amidst howling.

Because of this, Shi Mu was forced to stop, and before he could move, more than a dozen black shadows rushed up, and at the same time, the wolf figure quickly disappeared among the wolves.

To be continued. :
