Chapter 70: Holy Church Woman

"How long until we arrive, third brother." Ye Ling stood in the large carriage, stuck his head out of the window, and looked at the outside world.

Now the convoy carrying the Ye family and his party is walking on the undulating mountain road, the speed is not too fast, but they can enjoy the scenery outside comfortably.

After getting away from Luo Jing, they first took the water route, then they stopped by the river, changed to a carriage, and now they are heading all the way to the southeast.

"Come on, come on, why don't you go to sleep first." Ye Zhen pressed her forehead helplessly. This sister kept asking about things, which sometimes gave him a headache.

As the carriage gradually turned around a hill, a touch of red appeared in the distant mountains and forests, and then more and more red and yellow leaves made the scenery in the mountains gradually more beautiful.

"Should be arriving at Yanyu Island soon." An old man looked at the scenery outside and said.

"It's almost here." Then another person in the carriage responded.

"Now that Yanyu Continent is occupied by the Xin Kingdom, I don't know if it is safe or not?"

"There may have been chaos some time ago, but now it has generally stabilized. The Prime Minister Zuo with Xin Guo is very powerful." A middle-aged man in black in the car replied.

"That is to say, are we going to the country of Xin?" At this time, Ye Ling suddenly realized something, turned around and approached, then knelt on the cushion in the carriage, her long hair in double ponytails lay on the black embroidered bamboo dress, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

"That's right, to the country of Xin."

"Hey, why are you going there, that...isn't that the place where the rebels are?" Ye Ling was puzzled.

"Rebels, hehe, if you really want to say that, then our Ye family will be fine." Several elders smiled and shook their heads.

"This meeting should also tell Xiao Ling."

"Well, anyway, this dynasty is almost disintegrated."

"Actually, the ancestors of our Ye family, traced back to the source, came from the country of Youxin."

"Oh, is there such a thing, I don't know." Ye Ling suddenly raised his body and opened his eyes wide.

"A Ling, do you still remember the underground treasure house you stayed in when you were sleeping?"

"Uh, I have a little impression." Ye Ling stretched out his index finger and thumb, and made a tiny analogy. It seems that he doesn't remember much.

"The bronze gate of the treasure house. And on the stone pillars inside, there are actually pictures and patterns of phoenix carved on it."

"What's wrong with this?" Ye Ling blinked. The Plantagenet Dynasty worshiped the phoenix of five virtues. It seems normal to carve these.

"There is nothing wrong with that, but if you look carefully at the pictures of phoenixes, you will know that the phoenixes carved and depicted in our home are somewhat different from those commonly seen in the outside world."

"What's the difference?"

"It will be a little harsher and colder, and if it is colored, it will be the color of dark purple feathers."

"Pitch-black purple feathers, isn't that just a raven?" Speaking of this, Ye Ling also roughly understood.

"In other words, the origin of our family is also related to the raven."

"That's right. In fact, in the Qilei Seven Continents in ancient times, there was not only the Xin Kingdom, but also a small country 'Youmo Country', which is where our ancestors lived."

"Although Youmo has a good environment and is peaceful and stable, its population and territory are far smaller than that of Youxin. So after the rise of Youxin, we were gradually absorbed and accommodated into Youxin. There were still many small countries and tribes like this at that time. Because of the inconvenient transportation between the mountains and the great distances between them, it was easy to give birth to different small countries and tribes."

"When the scorpion was still there, the country of Youxin developed very well. The poisonous swamp gradually turned into fertile fields, and the closed mountains were also connected with each other. Caravans gradually came and went to connect them."

"However, after the catastrophe thousands of years ago, after the fall of His Royal Highness, the country of Youxin gradually became unbearable. Monsters and beasts in the deep mountains and evil waters reappeared. The once fertile land was gradually submerged in poisonous water and turned into a difficult swamp filled with poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants, making it difficult to live in."

"At that time, the Lord of the Kingdom of Xin wanted to open up land. He first fought against Chiyao and Huoque in the Central Plains, and then fought against Baize in the south. But in the end, they all ended in failure. The national power was greatly weakened, and many factions and organizations also left during the war. The ancestors of our family also moved to the Kingdom of Golden Flowers with their family. Finally, Luojing was there, the capital of the dynasty today." The elders in the car talked about the history of the Ye family.

"So, are we going home now?" Ye Ling tilted his head slightly, looking at the elders in front of him.

Her words made everyone in the car stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'm going home, I'm going home." There was a long feeling and sigh in the voice, as if there were thousands of words in it.

In the north far away from Yanyu Island, the army of Xin Kingdom is now fighting against the army of King Huainan.

Black banners and armor galloped across the battlefield, shouts and battle cries were heard endlessly, and fallen corpses and thrown weapons were everywhere.

Broken halberds and guns, black smoke and flames, the two sides fought in this wilderness until the sun was setting, dusk was reflected in the field, and the voices of the people gradually faded.

The hoarse voice contained emotions such as joy, sadness, venting, disgust, satisfaction, pain, etc., and the bloody face seemed to have liquid flowing down, slowly dripping to the ground.

After several months of bloody battles, the black-clad army of Xin State, who had just formed an army, finally persisted in the attack of Huainan King, and the price was tragic. Facing the accumulation of the dynasty for many years, mature and elite staff

professional army, they paid multiple sacrifices and deaths.

After the war, King Huainan was deeply aware of the difficulties of the Xin survivors in the south, so he had to stop suppressing and attacking for the time being, retreat and shrink the defense, and shifted more energy to deal with the Beifu army led by Zhuo Muye.

Xin Guo, who got precious time to breathe, also tried his best to resume production under the organization of the new officials, cultivated the grain at the end of summer, and sent invitations to other forces near Qilei Qizhou.

Heishuizhou, Red Immortal Sect.

This famous school in Qiilei Qizhou is located in the deep mountains and waters with nine bends and eighteen bends. The black house has a bit of the characteristics of the Central Plains, with long and curved eaves, and Zhanfeng Duo hanging below it, shaking slightly in the breeze.

In Zhanfengduo's scene, it is said that the ancestor of the Red Immortal Sect was a flying fairy who climbed the nine-story ladder. With his bare feet and red skirt, he held a blood peach wood sword and killed all the monsters and poisonous insects.

However, these things happened a long time ago. The heyday of the Red Immortal Sect did not last forever. Later, it gradually fell from the ranks of door-to-door sects. It was not until more than ten years ago that it regained some dignity.

Inside the black hall on the mountainside, it was quiet and empty.

The interior of the hall, which is nearly 100 meters long and wide, is clean and tidy. The pitch-black wooden floor is spotless. Inside the hall, long blood-red flags hang down. Various spells are written on them in ancient characters, which are said to have the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

In the middle of the main hall, there is a tall shrine with a ten-meter-high statue. It is a woman, dressed in bright red clothes, standing barefoot, holding a sword in one hand, and placing the other hand in a seal on her chest. Seven red candles are placed around the statue, reflecting the inside of the shrine.

A woman in her twenties kneeled in front of the statue and prayed silently. On both sides of the statue, there were also two old women kneeling. They wore black gauze and hoods, and bowed to the praying woman.

After a long silence, the woman raised her head, and then slowly inserted the incense in her hand into the cauldron full of incense ash.

"Is Your Highness still going to leave today?" asked the women kneeling on both sides, and one of them asked slowly. ,

"Yes."

The woman's face gradually became clear under the reflection of the candlelight. Unlike many beautiful disciples in the Red Immortal Sect, this woman's skin was slightly dark, and there were some rough scars on her hands, which did not look smooth and slender. But if it was seen in Luojing more than ten years ago

Those who fight swords in the red building will probably recognize that this is one of the seven people who climbed to the top, Xie Zhuyan.

Compared with the other people at that time, her average strength may be the lowest, but in any case, she is the winner among thousands of strange talents, which should not be underestimated.

"His Royal Highness has been refusing. Is there something on your mind that needs to be resolved?" The old woman asked again.

"No, it's just that I don't think I'm suitable to be the leader." She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and knelt down in front of the statue.

"Compared to the other sisters in the church, I am from a humble background, ordinary in appearance, and not very intelligent. It is really difficult for me to take on a big responsibility." Her voice is sincere, but it is not empty words.

Compared with the other disciples in the Red Immortal Sect, Xie Zhuyan was not from an orthodox background. She had only learned some skills in the outer sect, and then left alone.

Speaking of the reason, it is not complicated. Compared with Jie Zhuyan who lived a difficult life outside, the Red Immortal Sect prepared generous rewards for the personnel who went to battle. This was what she needed urgently at that time, but this disciple did not stay in the Red Immortal Sect for a long time.

"These are all things in the past. Now you are teaching the saintess for me, so you don't have to be so modest." The two women on the side shook their heads. They are the elders of the Red Immortal Sect. Although they are not strong, they are older and more knowledgeable.

"When you were in Naluojing, you won the nameplate Zisui in the sword fight in Chilou, which also made my religion famous all over the world. Now the holy religion can gradually prosper and grow, thanks to the contribution of Your Highness the Holy Maiden."

"These are just flukes. The factions in the Central Plains lack experience in dealing with the poisonous technique of my faction, which allows me to take advantage of it. In terms of strength, I am afraid that I will not be as good as everyone else."

In the red building sword fight that year, this ordinary woman from the Red Immortal Sect became stronger as she fought, which surprised everyone, not only because of her poisonous poisoning skills, but also because of her rich experience in fighting, and her grasp of the moment of life and death.

Unlike many geniuses who grew up in a peaceful environment, Xie Zhuyan's life experience can be described as ups and downs, and she also experienced many difficulties. It was extremely lucky to be able to survive and participate in the selection in the Chixian Sect. Those who know her past will not be surprised that this woman won the top few in the sword fight.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the two women had to sigh silently and stopped talking.

Another stick of incense was slowly burned, and the saint in the sect slowly stood up and was about to leave. At this time, it was already dusk outside the main hall, and a burst of crows and birds were calling across the night sky.

She walked out of the black and quiet hall, came to the steps in front of the door, put on her shoes slowly, and when she was about to leave, two guests in black had already been waiting on the road outside the hall for a long time.

Seeing the two people walking towards her, Xie Zhuyan looked normal, and she stopped slightly.

"But Her Majesty the Holy Maiden?" The two bent over and asked.

"I am Xie Zhuyan."

"That's right, Your Highness Xie." The two showed joy, and then made another gesture of invitation.

"I have something to say to the Holy Maiden below, I wonder if Her Highness the Holy Maiden is free now."

"I have spare time, but I might not be interested." Looking at the clothes of the two, Xie Zhuyan actually vaguely guessed the intention of the other party, and shook her head slightly.

"I know that Your Highness's time is precious, so I won't bother you too much. I just ask His Highness to listen to you." As they spoke, the two led Xie Zhuyan to a restaurant at the foot of the mountain. This place is the property of the Red Immortal Sect, and there are many disciples in the sect, so there is no need to worry about any malicious arrangements by the two.

Climbing to a quiet room on the third floor, a few plates of tea and food were simply placed on the table, and the two began to talk.

"Actually, the two of us came here to ask Her Majesty the Holy Maiden to come out to help." The object of their assistance is naturally the newly established Youxin Kingdom.

"My strength is low, I'm afraid I can't take on such a heavy responsibility." Xie Zhuyan shook his head.

"My lord saint is humbled..."

The two kept talking, and then talked about Xie Zhuyan's deeds back then, but these words, Xie Zhuyan had heard so much in the past ten years, she was already tired of hearing them.

Seeing that the effect was not good, the two could only smile wryly. Although they were prepared to fail in their hearts, they were still deeply frustrated when it came to the end.

"We are all the people of the Qilei Seven Continents. We may have different customs and races, but we are somewhat close to each other. It is also a blessing that we can restore the country of Youxin and make the people of the Qilei Seven Continents have a better life."

"Different dynasties and countries, officials and common people have their own lives. Maybe some people will get better, but it will never be the same for the majority." Xie Zhuyan shook her head. She was not interested in the righteousness of these countries. When she was in a small age and was struggling to survive, she didn't see anyone to help her. This kind of righteousness is still too far away. Perhaps only those who have read a lot can understand it.

When the two of them heard this, they tried to persuasion and narration again, talking about the benefits of Xin Guo, but it was a pity that none of these had much effect on Jie Zhuyan, so they had to give up slowly in the end.

In the middle of the night, the three of them walked down the restaurant, and the two guests bowed to Xie Zhuyan to salute, said goodbye, and left slowly.

And Xie Zhuyan stood under the lights of the restaurant, not moving for a long time, looking at the mountain road where the two people's backs disappeared in the distance, he seemed to be thinking, but in the end he just sighed.
