Chapter 209 A naturally benevolent beast

"The Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Flag?"

Qi Jingzhi reacted immediately, knowing that this matter must be related to his mount.

He immediately asked: "Commander Wu, where are the people from the Great Demonic Kingdom's Xianyu Protectorate?"

When Wu Buer heard this question from the young man, he was immediately shocked. The three leaves suddenly tightened, as if the human race involuntarily clenched their fists when they were angry.

I heard the voice of the general of Jietianguan trembled, and his tone was full of disbelief: "The Great Demon Kingdom is a false pretense, and the Xianyu Protectorate is full of treason against the Xuandu Immortal Dynasty.

heart!"

"As a vassal of the Immortal Dynasty, we, the Wuhe Kingdom, are at odds with that group of traitors and have been fighting each other for years. Now, when the Immortal opens his mouth, he uses a false title. Is it possible that he is trying to recruit An Chifeng? This...isn't this a surrender?

Does it hurt those who are close and those who are enemies are happy?"

It gritted its teeth and asked the last sentence. The number of fluorescent dots on the white flower clusters increased sharply, making it even more exciting and energetic.

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and suddenly felt a strange and absurd feeling in his heart. However, when he thought about it, this small country that should have been founded by Dancing Crane Grass seemed quite like that. The straight-tempered General Jietianguan in front of him was also very...

He has a certain sense of loyalty and courage in his work.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards Wu Fuji. He quickly looked serious and shook his head resolutely: "Commander Wu, don't think too much. I am not here to recruit people!"

When Wu Buer heard the words, his expression softened at first, but the next moment he suddenly became stern and said: "When Shangxian first came to Xuandu, it is inevitable that some things will not be understood."

"However, one month ago, everyone in the Wuhe Kingdom witnessed with their own eyes that the Immortal was personally escorted to heaven by the Immortal Master. His status is extremely precious. Once he spoke, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden word. Everyone hopes that the Immortal will ascend to heaven.

Be careful with your words and deeds, and don’t chill the hearts of our loyal ministers!”

"Huh? Am I being taught a lesson by a piece of grass?"

Qi Jingzhi looked at Wu Buer, who was looking forward to death, and inexplicably thought of those foolish kings in dramas and stories, who were always scolded by loyal ministers who dared to remonstrate, and became embarrassed and angry because of the spitting stars sprayed in their faces.

Qi Jingzhi was not so angry that he couldn't help but reached out and touched his cheek.

Not to mention, the air in Qihe Valley was dense with wood, and his face was really a little wet.

"It's true that I'm new to Xuandu and I don't know many things."

Qi Jingzhi lucked out and suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, but he could not help but be aroused by Wu Bu'er, a local snake: "May I ask Mr. Wu, when did Wuhe Kingdom get the title of Xuandu? How many people in the country have there?

population?"

Hearing this, Wu Fuji immediately tried his best to straighten the thin stem and replied loudly: "According to national history, our Wuhe Kingdom was founded five hundred and seventy-three years ago. At that time, the Immortal Lord had not yet ascended the throne, and he often traveled down to earth.

, then he took action to enlighten the first-generation ruler of this country, and personally proclaimed him the king. Thirty years later, he personally descended to the mortal world and led the great ancestor to heaven."

"Afterwards, there were eighteen more rulers in this country. Except for six of them who had insufficient virtue and were not appreciated, the remaining twelve were also fortunate enough to be promoted to Xuandu."

When Qi Jingzhi heard this, he could hardly suppress the weird look on his face, and couldn't help but cursed: "Master has so many tricks up his sleeve!"

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there were indeed many exotic flowers and plants growing in the Zixu Pavilion where his master lived, and there were indeed three or five Dancing Crane Plants among them.

There were a total of thirteen former kings, and this number obviously did not match up...

Qi Jingzhi calculated silently in his mind, and then asked: "Five hundred and seventy-three years, nineteen kings... So, the king of your Wuhe Kingdom changes approximately every thirty years?"

When Wu Buer heard the words, he immediately nodded: "According to the old rules of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, once the leader of the country has been in office for thirty years, he will take the initiative to abdicate and choose the most spiritual descendant in the country to inherit the ancestral temple. After abdication,

You will come here to connect Tianguan, build an altar, set up sacrifices, burn incense, and beg the Immortal Lord to show his kindness and care."

"This is a major event related to the rise and fall of the Wuhe clan, and it has attracted the attention of all countries and clans. Once the old king successfully ascends to immortality, this country can enjoy another thirty years of peace and prosperity!"

After hearing this, Qi Jingzhi stared at Wu Buer with burning eyes, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Are these dancing cranes pure in nature and really believe that the former kings have ascended to immortality, or are they pretending to be ignorant and sacrificing their own kings in exchange for the peace of the country?

Wu Fuji felt quite uncomfortable being looked at by the young man, and suddenly twisted his body: "Shangxian just asked about the population of Wuhe Country..."

"According to the clan law of this country, those who can speak without any hindrance and can walk like flying are of the noble family, or they may live in temples as prime ministers, or they may join the Dancing Crane Army as generals. Now there are thirty-seven of them."

"Those who have spiritual auras are scholar-bureaucrats, herders, officials, or military officers. Now there are thousands of people in the country. The king who succeeds is selected from among these outstanding descendants, and only those who have had spiritual auras for less than three years have

Only then are you eligible to be selected.”

"The rest of the mediocre people are all ordinary Chinese people. They are all over the country. They are hard to count, maybe millions of them!"

Speaking of this, the commander-in-chief of Jietianguan seemed to feel that he was exaggerating a bit, and added: "There are many people in the Wuhe Kingdom, living and multiplying everywhere. Just look at the pits and valleys, even if there are not millions

, three to five million is still available."

Qi Jingzhi took a look at the formation of Dancing Crane Grass in front of the stone steps. It was densely packed with at least one or two thousand plants, and the flower clusters were all glowing with fluorescence. They were all the so-called scholar-bureaucrats Wu Bian. It was obvious that the Dancing Crane Country

He is indeed extremely responsible in guarding Jie Tian Pass.

He was somewhat wary of Wu Fuji, pointed at the Dancing Crane Grass in front of him, and asked as if unintentionally: "From what Commander Wu said, it is obvious that the talents of the princes in the country are more outstanding, why should we use these cranes from these plants?"

Choose a new king among the scholar-bureaucrats?"

Hearing this, Wu Fuji answered quite frankly: "My Wuhe clan has limited qualifications, and my lifespan has never exceeded sixty years. Even if I am one of the most talented people, I have worked hard to be promoted to the clan, and my remaining life span will be

Most of them are less than thirty years old, so only the youngest and most outstanding descendants among the scholar-bureaucrats have this opportunity to ascend to heaven."

Qi Jingzhi listened without comment.

Xianyu Xuandu Cave Heaven is obviously a rare blessed place in the world, and the richness of spiritual energy is the only one he has seen in his life.

Thousands of these Dancing Crane Plants can produce spiritual light, and dozens of them can turn into real spirits that can speak and run. Naturally, they benefit from this mysterious world.

However, even if they become spirits, they can only live for a short period of time. There must be a reason for this, and most of them are Xuanduguan's handiwork.

The so-called vitality furnace, yin and yang creation, the creatures living in the Crane Valley have received great benefits, but at the same time they cannot escape the training and wear and tear. Whether it is luck or misfortune, I can't tell for a while.

Qi Jingzhi shook his head gently, no longer trying to figure out the true thoughts of these Dancing Crane Grasses, and curiously asked: "Since Wuhe Country is so powerful, why did there be trouble today? What Wu Zongbing said

What's it like to be a traitor?"

"It's really embarrassing to say this..."

When Wu Buer heard the words, the flower clusters drooped slightly, the fluorescence flickered, and his tone was a little lower: "Three years ago, the old king successfully abdicated and stayed at Jietian Pass for many months, but he did not wait for the Immortal Lord Tianzhao to come.

, became sick from worry, exhausted his vitality, and finally passed away unfortunately."

"Since then, the surrounding countries and tribes have developed contempt for me. However, my country is now in the midst of its young master's coming to the court. It is inevitable that the young master will be suspicious of the country. The main purpose is to defend and shrink from the outside world. I did not expect those rebellious people.

When a thief sees an opportunity, he becomes restless!"

Qi Jingzhi was speechless for a moment, knowing that those abdicated monarchs who had never been "ascended to immortality" would probably end up not being very good.

It's just that if we get to the bottom of this matter, it will inevitably involve our master, so it's not easy to discuss it rashly.

"Wu Fuji mentioned the various countries and tribes twice. The number of spiritual creatures living in the Crane Valley is probably far beyond my previous expectations. Even though Bannu has a flag to protect him and is surrounded and fought for, he is also

You may not be able to escape safely, but you still have to save yourself."

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi immediately waved his hands and said, "Since Wuhe Country is a little weak now, I have to go and see what's going on in the valley."

When Wu Buer heard this, he couldn't help but become more dejected and seemed quite ashamed.

It pondered for a moment, then waved its leaves to summon one of its subordinates: "Excuse me, I am the guard of Jietian Pass and I dare not leave my post without permission. This is the most powerful captain under my command, so let him do it."

Please show me the way."

Qi Jingzhi nodded, reached out and gently picked up the one-inch-tall Dancing Crane Grass, and placed it on his shoulder.

Captain Wuhecao was obviously startled, and when Wufuer scolded him, he cautiously wrapped a blade around the ear protection of the Xuanqing Dragon Helmet.

Then, it stretched out the remaining blade and pointed toward the depths of the dense forest ahead.

Wu Buer suddenly shouted loudly: "Get into formation and step on the feet of the Immortal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wuhecao military formation suddenly shrank toward the center, and all the Wubien leaves stretched upward at the same time, resting on top of the flower clusters, and instantly spliced ​​into a shield formation as strict as a low wall.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi nodded lightly to Wu Fuji, and suddenly exerted force on his feet. He kicked off the stone steps on the mountain road and flew several feet in the air. Then he touched lightly on the Dancing Crane Grass Shield Formation, and his body jumped up again.

It flew straight into the secluded forest.

Captain Wu Hecao, who was standing on his shoulder, was trembling with excitement. He was holding on to the Xuan Qing Dragon Helmet while turning the tip of his leaf and pointing.

Qi Jingzhi entered the forest, and his breath was filled with the rich and pure aura of pine, cypress and armor. The angry eyes of the green feather crane in his heart immediately became more lively. The green feather brocade clothes and the green Qiu black armor also vaguely related to this pine forest.

resonance.

While running and leaping, he gradually sensed the distribution and direction of the wood energy in the forest, and his whole body blended into it, just like a fish entering the sea or a bird ascending to the sky. Not only did his body appear as erratic as flying, but his heart also gave birth to endless emotions.

Pleasure.

Later, he no longer even needed the captain of Maizuru Grass on his shoulder to guide him. He only relied on the spiritual sense in his heart and ran straight towards a place where auras gathered chaotically a few miles ahead.

In less than a cup of tea, several broken and toppled ancient trees appeared in front of him, and it seemed that these ancient trees had fallen down not long ago, just like what he had seen on Hezui Cliff before.

Fallen trees and broken trees covered each other and supported each other, forming a tree wall, blocking Qi Jingzhi's path and sight. He could only roughly judge that the opposite side should be a clearing in the forest.

At this time, the wall of trees was already filled with forest creatures, all of which were small animals and birds. Each one had its back facing Qi Jingzhi's direction, looking excitedly at the other end.

What? He was chirping non-stop.

Qi Jing glanced at them and could only recognize more than half of them. Some birds and beasts were considered natural enemies of each other. At this moment, they were standing very close together and watching the fun.
