Chapter 3 Summer in Mirage City(1/2)

This day is the busiest day in Mirage City in the past few years. Scouts and speedboats have already rushed back to Mirage City to spread the news of the arrival of the God Emperor's envoy throughout the city. Hundreds of thousands of citizens flocked to the city gate in empty streets.

Ports scramble to see the Messenger of the God Emperor and Kohan the Wavebreaker

The style of Huai. As soon as the heroes landed from the port, they heard the roar of salutes (who didn't have fireworks and salutes at that time? China has had gorgeous fireworks since Suiren stole the fire. Haha). The dark crowd stood on the island, and the towers gave out deafening cheers.

Voice.

The heroes raised their arms in excitement and shouted wildly. Their ambitions to expand were even more intense, and the blood boiled all over their bodies. The hardships and hardships of the past few days were suddenly forgotten. All the generals in Mirage City, except Qiao Yu, the city lord, was seriously injured and could not go out, rushed to the port to greet the group.

The sixteen generals were all tall and burly men, heroic and forthright, and all the knights could not help but feel deeply moved.

When the generals in Mirage City listened to Song Yizhi's introduction to Tuoba Ye, they immediately prostrated themselves. Although Tuoba Ye knew that they were grateful for the divine grace because of his status as the messenger of the God Emperor, he could not help but feel quite embarrassed in his heart and hurriedly

They helped each other up one by one. Everyone announced their names. When the heroes of Mirage City heard the name of Kehan ​​Huai, they all shivered, beamed with joy, and saluted respectfully. Some of the two parties were old friends who had known each other for many years, and they were even more overjoyed to see each other again.

There were so many people and so many names that Tuoba Ye couldn’t remember many of them. But there was a man with a red beard who looked majestic and had an interesting name called Liejiu. He immediately remembered it. Tuoba Ye said with a smile: “This name is really interesting. Liquor

.If you fight with someone, you don’t need to fight, you just need to spray a breath of alcohol to make him drunk." Everyone laughed heartily.

He thought: "This young messenger is really as amiable as Brother Duan said." He felt a little closer to him in his heart. Lie Jiu laughed loudly. He stuttered a bit when he spoke, opened his mouth wide and blinked silently.

After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "He paid for it when he was drunk, and he had to give me the wine and the money for it!" Everyone burst out laughing again.

At present, the heroes of Mirage City were crowding around Tuoba Ye. Ke Hanhuai and others walked towards the city. The crowds receded and the cheers roared. Tuoba Ye kept hearing people talking in his ears: "Is this the messenger of the God Emperor? Sure enough, the young man

Very." "Tsk, tsk, so handsome at such a young age..." He is already a legendary hero in Mirage City.

Tuobanye smiled at everyone, his charm was high, and there was another commotion in the crowd. Looking around, he saw many young and beautiful girls crowded in the crowd, looking at him with affection. Tuobanye couldn't help but his heartbeat was pounding. Suddenly, a soft and smooth hand

She grabbed his palm with her hand and looked down at Xianxian. She curled her lips and said, "You are so proud that you can't even remember what to call. Did you forget about your tearful sister when you saw a beautiful girl?"

Tuoba Ye was stunned. This girl had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. He often argued, but this time she was choked by her again, so he had to pretend not to hear. Her hand was pulled so tightly that he couldn't pull it out, so he could only let her entangle him and move inward.

Let’s go. Although Tuoba Ye doesn’t

He was over fourteen years old, but he had matured very early since he wandered. In addition, he mistakenly took fourteen Shennong Pills. His bones and muscles swelled and changed, making him look like a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He and Xianxian were walking together. A pair of jade stones were as straight as brother and sister. I don’t know how many people they had killed.

Mirage City Parents.

The mirage city is built according to the island. The city walls are majestic and the sky is stunning. The towers are so beautiful and blurry that everyone can see them. Everything is new in Tuoba Ye. Along the way, Song Yizhi pointed out the buildings and explained many stories and allusions to Tuo Ba Ye and others.

Great experience. This mirage city was originally built by the Qing Emperor of the Mu tribe who collected corals from the East China Sea more than 300 years ago.

Built with palace crystal and Kunlun white jade, it was originally a sacred place for the Mu tribe to worship heaven. Later, as the Mu tribe moved south, this mirage city gradually became the Mu tribe's fortress on the East China Sea. The city wall fortress was built by Jun Suguang, the most skilled craftsman three hundred years ago.

The design is sturdy and majestic, and is known as the first city in the East China Sea. At the same time, it is extremely elegant and magnificent, and every brick and tile is a meticulously crafted work of art.

The city is extremely clean and tidy. The streets are paved with cobblestones and fine sand from the sea. On both sides are East China Sea coral trees that are more than ten feet tall and exotic flowers and plants from all over the wilderness. The residential buildings in the city are all made of white jade, green teak and ocean trees. The crystal windows have various styles, either pavilions and flowing eaves or round tiled courtyards. Although they are quite different, they are quite harmonious. It turns out that many wanderers have gathered in Mirage City over the past thirty years, and many of them are skilled craftsmen who have renovated the buildings in surprising styles. Yu You has always been tolerant and free, and the buildings in the city are more diverse in style. The island city with a radius of ten miles is actually a miniature and gathering place of all the buildings in the wilderness. The journey along the way is even more eye-opening for the heroes.

Blue sky, white building, green sea and mangrove trees. The crystal windows shine with dazzling beauty in the sunlight.

The people of the city followed them and walked behind them. The people in the city lined the streets to welcome them. They wore different and colorful clothes and were not restricted by the ethnic regulations at that time. Their faces were full of joy. After walking like this for a long time, they arrived at Jixian in the east of the city. This is the place where the Mirage City receives distinguished guests. It is also where the Saint of the Water Tribe and the Qing Emperor stayed when they offered sacrifices to heaven in the past. Jixian Garden is located on the huge rock in the east of the city. The huge rock is suspended dozens of feet toward the East China Sea. The towers in the garden are all made of crystal and The agarwood is built like a series of transparent square boxes, exquisite and fragrant.

Song Yizhi and others left after settling down all the rangers. Once the heroes relaxed and relaxed after running around for days to reach their destination, they immediately felt sleepy. They then went back to their rooms to eat some seafood, fruits and vegetables, take a bath and rest.

Tuoba Ye's room just opened the crystal window facing the sea in the south. Below is a bright red coral forest burning like a flame to the seaside. The golden beach is surrounded by green waves. The sun is bright and the sea breeze is cool. Tuo Ba Ye I looked out the window for a while and then went to rest. My heart was spinning with excitement and my mind was filled with the strange things that happened in the past few days. I looked at the teardrops and the agate incense burner of the woman in white for a long time before I fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up, it was already evening. Song Yizhi and others were already waiting in Jixian Garden to invite Tuoba Ye and Ke Hanhuai to Bimulou to meet Qiao Yu. The two of them followed Song Yizhi towards the city.

Along the way, many people recognized the messenger of the God Emperor and the Wave-Breaking Knife and saluted one after another. Tuoba Ye imitated Ke Hanhuai and returned the salute while walking away. Not long after, everyone arrived in front of a simple ivy wood building, and it seemed to be Qiao. The palace of the city lord. But it looks quite ordinary and even far less magnificent than some private houses.

When the two guards at the gate saw that it was Song Yizhi, they quickly opened the gate and went into the house to report. A moment later, a young man about thirteen years old strode out and prostrated himself: "My father is injured and has difficulty moving. Chi You accepted the envoy of the God Emperor on his behalf." Tuoba Ye repeatedly said that he did not dare to help him up. The young man looked up and saw Tuoba Ye saying "huh" softly, as if he was surprised that he was so young. The two were about the same age, although Tuoba Ye was half a head taller. But it doesn’t look like there’s much difference.

Chi You had bronze skin, strong muscles, handsome features on his face, and was quite arrogant. He looked much older than he was. Tuoba Ye smiled and said, "I'm about the same age as you, so you can just call me Tuoba." Chi You said, "Don't dare. "When he saw Kehan ​​in white and fluttering green clothes, he said respectfully: "I guess this is Uncle Ke of Duanlangdao? My nephew has been admired for a long time and today I am honored to meet Sansheng." His respectful and polite conversation was more in line with his age. It's not a big match. Ke Hanhuai said: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog sons. It is rare for a good nephew to have a noble demeanor at a young age."

Everyone looked in as they walked in. The inner courtyard was more simple. Several sycamore trees were planted in the four courtyards, and the sound of cicadas was dense. Everyone followed Chi You and opened the curtains and entered the main room. The room was quite spacious and sunlight filtered through the crystal windows. The light came in, and a middle-aged man was lying on the bed, looking haggard, but his tiger eyes were still shining. He smiled and said: "Messenger of the God Emperor, Brother Ke, I'm so sorry that I can't welcome you from far away." Ke Hanhuai said: " City Lord Qiao fought alone against the blue-winged sea dragon beast to eliminate harm for the people, and then he was injured and saying this again would make Ke Mou feel embarrassed." Qiao Yu laughed.

Tuoba Ye was heartbroken when he saw that he was so seriously injured and a powerful enemy was approaching the city, but he was still so optimistic. Qiao Yu looked at him with bright eyes and sighed: "Heroes come from young since ancient times. Duan Kuang's praise is true." Tuoba Ye said. Ye smiled and said: "Brother Duan is very kind. In fact, the real heroes are the rangers who come from all directions. They know that the future is dangerous but they still move forward. That is the real rare thing."

Qiao Yutou smiled and said: "I wonder how the old man, the God Emperor, is doing?" Tuoba was surprised and thought, "Did Brother Duan not tell him about this?" Suddenly he understood that Duan Yukai must be worried that this news would affect the morale of the city and the bloody letter was with him. The Shenmu Ling was still missing on him and there was no time to announce the matter. Unexpectedly, he looked rough but also quite attentive. But now that he had arrived at Mirage City, there was no need to hide the matter anymore. Su Rong said, "I'll tell you the truth seven days ago. The God Emperor has already materialized on Nanji Mountain."

Everyone was shocked and exclaimed. Even Ke Hanhuai was shocked. Tuoba Ye cupped his hands at Ke Hanhuai and smiled bitterly: "Ke Hanhuai was in danger yesterday. I was afraid that it would affect morale, so I had to lie." road:

"You did it right."

Qiao Yu was disappointed for a long time and said: "Really? This is really a loss for the people of the Great Wilderness." Tuoba Ye took out the God Emperor's Blood Book and the Divine Wood Order from his arms and handed them to Qiao Yu and said: "This is the God Emperor's final order ordering the Shui Tribe to withdraw immediately. ." Qiao Yu opened the bloody book and tears rolled down her eyes just a moment after reading it.

Qiao Yu folded up the blood letter and said: "This matter is of great importance and we cannot let outsiders know about the death of the God Emperor for the time being. We need to order the Shui Tribe to withdraw their troops and sign a peace treaty before announcing it to the world." Everyone agreed. At that moment, the heroes chatted for a while with Qiao Yu's expression on his face. It became more and more ugly that big beads of sweat were dripping all over my body.

Ke Hanhuai knew that he was seriously injured and the weak energy he had managed to hold on for a long time had dissipated. He patted Tuoba Ye and stood up to say goodbye. Qiao Yu said with a smile: "The people of Mirage City are going to entertain you tonight. Yizhi, Chiyou, you guys take the two of you." Let's have a banquet on the beach." Song Yizhi and Chi You bowed to accept the order and led the two of them out.

When everyone arrived at the Coral Beach to the west, the setting sun had already been swallowed up by the Tianbi Mountain on the other side. The stars in the light blue night sky were faintly blown by the cool breeze. There were crowds of people on the beach, and piles of bonfires were burning brightly, reflecting the smiling faces. Xian Xian saw them from a distance. They ran all the way over, holding Ke Hanhuai with one hand and Tuoba Ye with the other, and walked inside.

People were laughing and chatting around the bonfire, grilling seafood and drinking home-brewed wine. Young rangers and girls were dancing around the bonfire, and the cheerful melody of the banjo resounded through the beach.

While Tuoba Ye was grilling his specialty charred bone fish for everyone, he was chatting and laughing with the surrounding rangers. Suddenly there was a loud bang and everyone turned around to look at the hills in the center of the island. Someone was setting off fireworks. Gorgeous fireworks streaked through the night sky and bloomed all over the sky. There was a sound on the beach. Boiling cheers.

With continuous explosions, the dark blue night sky was suddenly filled with fireworks, cascading and blooming, with ever-changing colors and spooky lights. The sound of sea waves was slowly blowing in the night wind. Tuoba Ye held the grilled fish in his hand and turned his head to see Xianxian looking at him with a smile, her eyes blurred. The luster of the flame danced under the light of the bonfire. The eyes were so familiar and so moving. It reminded him of who had forgotten whom. His heart was pounding and he was confused. He let go of the grilled fish and dropped it on the beach.

Summer in Mirage City is coming quietly in the sky filled with fireworks.

In the early morning of the next day, Song Yizhi led 300 elite soldiers carrying blood letters and sacred wood orders and went straight to the base camp of the Chaoyang Valley besiegers. Unexpectedly, the three Chaoyang Valley armies, which had been full of flags and dense tents the day before, were now empty of people. There were only carbon blocks in the stove pit. Still dotted with stars.

Song Yizhi led his army towards the south and passed seven Chaoyang Valley camps along the way, but all of them were like this. It must have been the water monster who saw the sniper Kehan ​​Huai, and he didn't realize that the situation was over, so he quietly stopped his troops and retreated overnight. At that time, Song Yizhi led his troops back eastward.

When the soldiers and civilians of Mirage City heard that the water monsters had retreated, they were all happy and excited. Qiao Yu still had doubts and sent nine scouts and cavalry out one after another. Finally, it was confirmed that all the water monster soldiers had withdrawn into the Shui Tribe territory last night. .

In the evening, all the scouts returned to Mirage City. Duan Yukai also led thousands of elite troops back to the city. As soon as Duan Yukai landed at the port, someone reported that the God Emperor's envoy had arrived safely. Although Bailonglu did not hear Tuoba Ye's name, he seemed to have heard it. He let out a long roar of joy and kicked his hooves, almost throwing Duan Yukai off. Then he suddenly spread his four hooves and ran towards the city with a roar of joy.

Everyone saw Duan Kuangren jolting and dancing around on a dragon-like deer-like spirit beast, shouting and laughing.

Tuoba Ye was eating with other heroes in the Jixian Courtyard when he suddenly heard a sound of joy coming from far outside. He was so happy that he jumped up and ran towards the door. As soon as he reached the courtyard, a white shadow flashed and was swept by the strong wind. He was already caught by something. He fell to the ground and a wet tongue came up to sweep him from head to neck. The warm breath made him itch unbearably.

Tuoba Ye laughed loudly and hugged him with his arms: "Brother Lu, you really want me to die!" The white dragon deer neighed as if: "I want you to death too." Suddenly, someone panted and laughed. "When this beast smelled your scent, he ran around like crazy and covered me in mud." He looked up and saw a big man covered in mud standing at the door with a smile. It was Duan Yukai.

Tuoba Ye was overjoyed that the two of them, who had shared weal and woe together, had reunited and became even more intimate, chatting like old friends who had known each other for many years. The heroes in the garden came out one after another when they heard the voice, and they were all very happy to introduce each other.

Xianxian saw the white dragon deer and liked to stroke its head. She smiled and said, "Brother Tuoba, is he your friend? He looks really strange." Tuobaye smiled and said, "That's right, but he can be arrogant. I don't pay much attention to others." Unexpectedly, the White Dragon Deer seemed to like Xianxian very much and narrowed his eyes and let her caress him and hissed. Tuoba Ye was greatly surprised and Xianxian was so proud that she giggled non-stop.

That night, the whole city was having a feast again in Mirage City. Qiao Yu also managed to come out and join Tuoba Ye, Ke Hanhuai and other heroes who came to help. He toasted dozens of glasses of wine before leaving.

For more than ten days after that, Mirage City continued to patrol the city with reconnaissance cavalry, but no sign of any movement from the Shui Tribe was seen. Qiao Yu sent five envoys to deliver the Holy Oracle of the God Emperor to the Council of Elders on the Holy Mountain of the Five Tribes. The disaster of the war was unexpectedly eliminated.

Peace has been established since the third day. Rangers 6 continued to say goodbye and left. Tuoba Ye and Kehan ​​Huai also wanted to say goodbye, but Qiao Yu and other Mirage City soldiers and civilians tried hard to persuade them to stay several times. They had already arrived at the dock and were pulled back. Warmly

It's difficult, not to mention that Tuoba Ye has always called the world his home and left here without knowing where he will go. Xian Xian was having fun on the island and didn't miss Shu, so the two decided to live in the mirage city for a while.

Now that he had settled in Mirage City, Kehan ​​Huaize simply used Peiran Qi to help Qiao Yu heal his injuries and reopen his meridians. Tuoba Ye was interested in medicine and had obtained Shen Nong's "Baicao Pu" and looked around for healing miracles.

Medicine. Tour of the five ethnic groups on the island

Many of the many exotic flowers and herbs brought by Xia fit the prescription. Tuoba Ye boiled a pot of medicine every morning and gave it to Qiao Yu at noon. After a few days of such two-pronged treatment, Qiao Yu showed signs of improvement.

.The whole city was very happy.

Although Qiao Yu's son Chi You was quite reserved at first and was gentle and polite when he met Tuoba Ye, he was a thirteen-year-old boy after all, and his true colors were revealed over time. Tuoba Ye had always been outgoing and cheerful, and it was easy to make friends with others within ten days.

When Chiyou came down, he and Tuoba Ye had already become very good friends, chatting and joking side by side. However, he was still respectful and polite in front of his elders.

A group of young people who followed Chi You were so impressed by Tuoba Ye's feats that they surrounded him every day and told him interesting stories on the road. Tuo BaYe was frothing at the mouth and exaggerated in his description.

She was in a state of wonder and joy. The fairy sister and the rain master's concubine were mentioned in an understatement, but they had already made many young people salivate and be fascinated by it.

It's just that Xianxian followed Tuoba Ye all day long, like a brother and sister. On the one hand, Tuoba Ye liked her very much, but on the other hand, he couldn't get rid of her and had no choice but to let her go. When the young people saw that she was the daughter of Duanlangdao Kehanhuai, they also showed great attentiveness.

.In addition, she is cute and cute and is regarded as a princess by everyone.

On this day, Tuoba Ye was working with other young men on how to form a five-element long snake formation with other heroes to defeat the indestructible North Sea Black Ice Iron. As he danced with joy, Luck's Dantian suddenly lifted up his energy and waved his hand to slap a huge boulder next to him. Suddenly, the heat in his Dantian was steep.

Dozens of acupuncture points in the body suddenly exploded with zhenqi, which merged into a torrent in the body. In an instant, it expanded sharply and suddenly reversed in the body. It did not follow the guidance of the palm and went straight to the head. There was a loud bang and a roar, and the person fell straight down.

I don't know.

It turned out that during the more than ten days he spent in Mirage City, apart from looking for herbs and brewing medicine, and playing around the island with Chi You and others, he did not even have a single day to practice "tidal flow" to adjust his breath and control his qi. The vast amount of qi in his body plus the remaining complex five elements of qi

After being unable to channelize it for a long time, it starts to wander randomly between the meridians.

.As a result of his sudden adjustment of Qi, the Qi suddenly merged into a random flow of Qi that collided with each other. In an instant, he was unable to channel the suppressed Qi and was immediately knocked unconscious by the exploding Qi. Fortunately, he had not yet recovered before he could regain his strength.

I tried my best to avoid reaching the dangerous situation with the force of counterattack.

Tuoba Ye fainted and immediately caused chaos. Chi You was severely punished by his father and was not allowed to go out for seven days. Famous doctors in the city rushed to Jixian Garden to diagnose him. However, as soon as he took a pulse, he was shocked and suffered many injuries, including broken muscles and bones.

foot.

Fortunately, Ke Hanhuai arrived in time to channelize his true energy and disperse it back to various major acupoints, thus preventing the out-of-control true energy in his body from damaging his meridians. Tuoba Ye rested for three days before he got better. People came to visit him every day.

The elixirs of the five races were piled up on his bedside. Xianxian and Bailonglu stayed by his side all day long and watched him fall asleep at night before reluctantly going back to his room.

On this day, Tuoba Ye slept until midnight when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of his room. The moment he got up and opened the door, it was Ke Hanhuai. He whispered: "Brother Tuoba, come with me." At this time, the sky was as blue as the sea under the full moon. The sound of the waves made me wonder, but I still closed the door and followed him away.

Kehanhuai led him around Jixian Garden and through the coral forest to the beach. The salty sea breeze blew against his face, and his ears were filled with the loud sound of the surging waves. The deep blue sea surged in layers. Huge waves rolled towards the beach like galloping horses and then retreated back. After repeating this process, it submerged more than 100 meters of beach in a short time.

It was a full moon night and it was also the time of the month when the tides were at their highest.

Ke Hanhuai said: "Brother Tuoba, do you still remember the "Tidal Flow" I taught you that day in the Peach Blossom Spring?" Tuoba Ye knew that he had dragged him here in the middle of the night to re-teach him the way of absorbing breath and controlling Qi. He thought of himself. I had been so busy having fun these days that I was extremely sad. I couldn't help but blush a little and said, "Remember." Then he blurted out the more than 100 words of the formula and recited it again and again without missing a word.

Kehan ​​Huaitou said: "Very good. This tidal flow is actually just a method of breathing and controlling qi that I created when I was practicing day and night in the tidal waves on Gulangyu Island. There is nothing surprising at first. But for the Tuoba brothers, the current The situation couldn't be more suitable." Tuoba Ye learned a few things in the cave that day and knew that this statement was true. Although it was only a hundred words, there were still many things he didn't understand if he had taught him everything. He will definitely benefit greatly. He immediately said happily: "That's wonderful!" He knelt down and worshiped Kehanhuai.

Kehanhuai helped him up and said with a smile: "It's not that master and disciple don't have to pay this big gift. The fact that we are quite in love is nothing. How can we break our promise by agreeing to Master Yu's concubine again?" At the moment, he and Tuoba Ye were sitting together. On the beach, with the bright moon in the sky and the sea breeze blowing, he calmly explained the subtleties of this tidal flow step by step.
