Chapter 231: The Land of No Sun(1/2)
The eight-clawed divine fish chariot carried the tiger dragon northward.
The location of the Land of No Sun is much farther than the tiger dragon expected. It took several days to arrive on the eight-clawed divine fish chariot.
During this period, I left Shengzhou, entered the East China Sea and headed north. It took me several days to arrive.
The Kingdom of Wu Sun is close to Beijuluzhou, and the Taoist temple of the Emperor Zhenwu in the north is here, so the demonic power in Beijuluzhou is the smallest.
Lian Yuanxiang became much more at ease when he got here. He hid his body on the road and waited until he arrived at his destination.
The Kingdom of No Sun deserves its name. The sky and the earth are dim and light, and there is no sunshine or stars or moon. There is only a layer of extremely faint light, perhaps coming from the distant sky.
Relying on this glimmer of light, the tiger dragon could barely see the surrounding situation clearly and not become completely blind.
Hu~ Huhu~
The cold wind blew through the snow covered by the ground, one after another, and the cold wind whistled between the sky and the earth, making it look cold and blew.
The tiger dragon walked out of the carriage of the eight-clawed divine fish chariot, and could see a huge city from afar, with humans walking around, which is the entire Sunless Country.
Because there is no light all day long, and the land is covered with thick ice and snow, the resources here are scarce, so it is already the limit to be able to accommodate this population.
"The Kingdom of Wu Ri has always had some contact with Yan Jun, and even enshrines the statue of Yan Jun. After His Royal Highness arrived there, he would meet the king and the national teacher and the national teacher, and he would be treated to him." Yuan Xiang said to the tiger dragon.
It is common for a powerful demon clan to be connected to the human kingdom, and this is the case with the Jade Stone Demon King, and the Tiger Dragon is not surprised.
Because the eight-clawed Divine Fish Chariot is too large, it will definitely be difficult to enter the city.
The Qiankun Bag couldn't make such a large space to accommodate it, so the tiger dragon dug out some of the ice and snow to bury it under the ice and snow.
With the constitution of a half-step golden elixir-level wild beast, he would not be frozen to death.
After doing all this, he followed Yuan Xiang to the city. Halfway through, Hu Jiao suggested: "Will my image look a bit too silly? It's better to change it."
Hu Jiao originally planned to use a cloak to cover his appearance like he had entered the city before, but Yuan Xiang smiled and said, "No need to cover up. This is the first time His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has come here. He still doesn't know the situation. He will understand after entering the city."
"Since that's the case, it's like an old man." Tiger Dragon said after thinking for a moment. Anyway, he was going to take the blame for something, and it wasn't the turn of Tiger Dragon to worry about it.
Following Yuan Xiang into the city, there were only a few lazy guards in front of the city gate shaking the dice aside, and they didn't even look at the tiger dragon and the four of them.
The city is also sparsely populated, and occasionally there is a big white bear walking upright on the street, or a white fox lying at the door of the shop and dozing.
These are obviously little monsters who have already produced intelligence, but they live in harmony with others, while the rest of the pedestrians are not surprised.
The Qing Ling behind the tiger dragon was amazed, and even the tiger dragon was silent.
There are also people and monsters in the ghost market, but that is the situation between monsters and practitioners. Both sides are subject to the rules of the ghost market and barely maintain the situation where the well water does not violate the river water.
In this country of impetuous days, the tiger dragon looked around and was full of ordinary people. In this case, it was not easy for the humans and demons to maintain harmony.
You should know that the human race rejects aliens, while the demon race is fierce and arrogant, and most of them maintain their beastly nature. In addition, they have an absolute advantage over ordinary people in terms of strength, making it extremely difficult for both sides to get along.
Yuan Xiang saw the doubts of the tiger dragon and explained on the side: "The dispute between the humans and the demons is nothing more than a dispute over resources. The country of the sun is almost cut off from the outside world. There is no sunshine all day long, the plants are difficult to grow, and the number of creatures is scarce."
"Survival is not easy. We are just helping each other and seeking to survive. People and demons get along well."
The tiger dragon was silent, and Yuan Xiang said nothing wrong.
In the outside world, the reason why people and monsters have conflicts is not that monsters can eat people, and people kill monsters. After all, there are only a few monsters that specialize in feeding on people, and few people who can kill monsters are.
The root contradiction between the two sides also lies in the struggle for survival resources. The monsters are born from ordinary beasts, live in mountains and forests, and people live in towns, and most rely on farming to make a living.
If there is more arable land, there will be less forests. If there is more protection of forests, the cultivated land will not develop.
This is the root cause of the fight between humans and monsters in the general environment, and it is also the most common situation when humans and monsters conflict.
However, the country without sun is covered with ice and snow all day long. Such barren land, forests and arable land may not be able to develop, so there will be no reason to fight excessively.
Moreover, the people in the Sunless Kingdom may have never seen the sun, and their skin is full of paleness that seems to be sick to the tiger dragon.
In order to adapt to the dark environment here, the eyes turned golden and shiny like the eyes of some animals, which was somewhat different from the humans outside.
"Dingling ~ Where can I stay? The three souls are descending early, and the seven souls are coming..."
While the tiger dragon was thinking, a bell shaking on the side of the road, muttering words, wearing black clothes and white-haired old woman attracted the attention of the tiger dragon.
After refining the crossbone, there was no language barrier. The tiger dragon could understand what she was chanting and heard that this was a spell to summon the soul.
Next to the old woman, there was a barefoot monk with a miserable face and a tattered cassock chanting scriptures.
In the middle were several humans crying around a coffin, crying there. On the coffin was a man with a haggard face, pale face, but obviously very young.
"Although ordinary people in the Sunless Kingdom find it difficult to connect with the outside world, there are still some ascetic monks and monks who practice dark martial arts among humans who are attracted by the environment here and come here to practice."
"This human race who is summoning souls should be a witchcraft magic that is practicing." Yuan Xiang did not have a loud voice. Even if he did not shout deliberately, the witch and the monk would definitely understand.
However, these two people could clearly feel that Yuan Xiang was not easy to mess with, so they pretended not to hear it and continued to work on their own affairs.
The few people who were crying and shouting raised their heads after hearing Yuan Xiang's words. Seeing the four tiger dragons, they seemed to have seen the saviors. They walked to the tiger dragons and knelt down and begged:
"Great immortal, save my child, save my child." The person who spoke was an old woman in her sixties.
In this place where food is lacking, living conditions are poor and medical technology is poor, it is already an amazing age in his sixties, and the old woman is also very old and walks tremblingly.
The tiger dragon had no doubt that after this incident, she might have returned to the underworld.
"Great Immortal, save him. My child suddenly couldn't wake up a few days ago. The wizards said they lost their souls, but they couldn't get it back."
"Save him, Daxian, he is still so young and has left such a young daughter."
The old woman is just an ordinary person. Although it is difficult to judge the demon's cultivation based on her aura, she may have seen it too much, and she can judge that his cultivation based on the appearance characteristics of the tiger dragon that his cultivation is not comparable to those little demons.
He kowtowed in front of the tiger dragon with his wife who was suspected to be a vassal of the man and a thin little girl.
The tiger dragon didn't look at them, shook his head and walked away.
Let’s not talk about the wizards who summoned their souls for them, they seemed to have some skills. They would have been recruited long ago. Even if they were recruited, the man’s body would be frozen. What’s the point? It’s just a disturbing soul.
As for Yuan Xiang, there are countless human races who have eaten such a big monster. I will not feel that it is harder to pinch the ants to death than to pinch the ants, nor will I have pity for it. I also left with the tiger dragon with expressionless expression.
The old women and the others did not dare to stop the tiger dragon from leaving, so they could only cry and cry in a heart-wrenching manner.
However, Xuan Ling, the two maids who had been following Hu Jiao, actually took out some silver money from her body and made a special trip to the old woman.
"Half demon, after all, it's half demon." Yuan Xiang chuckled.
The tiger dragon did not say anything. There are all kinds of people in the world. The same is true for other races who are wise. Without harming their own interests, proper good deeds are no big deal.
Just like there are examples of people treating cats and dogs kindly.
Although the tiger dragon did not do some actions, it did not laugh at those who did it.
"Where should we go next?" Hu Jiao asked after Qingling and Xuanling returned to their side.
"It is better for His Royal Highness to rest here for one night before going to see the king of this country tomorrow," Yuan Xiang suggested.
"Okay, then according to your opinion." Hu Jiao nodded and said, "But, I have always had a doubt. What is it that mother asked me to come here?"
Yuan Xiang replied with recollection in his eyes: "In ancient times, the candle dragon holds a candle and shines on the underworld. In fact, the place where it shines is a country without sun. At that time, the country without sun was originally a paradise on earth."
"It was only later that Zhulong died, and the Kingdom of No Sun returned to its past darkness, but there is still something about Zhulong here."
"Things about Zhulong?"
"Yes, it is Zhulong's eye, guarded by the Sunless Kingdom for generations." Yuan Xiang said solemnly.
"What is it like?" asked Hu Jiao.
"I don't know this. I never met Yan Jun when I came last time. However, since the prince's body has the breath of a dragon, he should have a sense of it when he sees it." Yuan Xiang said with some regret.
"Old Xiang, I'm not sure about it. Although my mother said that I had the breath of a candle dragon on my body, I had to have the inheritance of the tiger dragon. I didn't feel the breath of a candle dragon at all. It's still unknown whether it is true or false."
The tiger dragon smiled bitterly on his face, fearing that he would be too proud to be carried, so he gave a vaccination in advance. He was really unfounded about the breath of Zhulong.
"As for this, although the Crown Prince is relieved, no one else may make mistakes in this matter, Yan Longjun will never be wrong." Yuan Xiang's tone was extremely affirmative.
"I hope this is the case." Seeing that he was so sure, the tiger dragon also made a promise to gain some confidence.
"Your Highness, it's not too early, so why don't we stay nearby?"
Yuan Xiang looked at a restaurant next to her and said.
Although the tiger dragon didn't quite understand how Yuan Xiang judged that it was getting late in such a dark place, the tiger dragon nodded and followed his arrangements.
The restaurant chosen by Yuanxiang is obviously exquisite, and the owner of the shop inside is a big monster with a green fish head.
However, Yuan Xiang obviously did not have any concerns about his identity. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Give me a serving of green pepper fish head, boiled fish, steamed fish pieces, and grilled whole fish..."
If it weren't for the fish-headed monster who was seriously urging the waiter to keep the account, and had no special expression, Hu Jiao would have thought he had a grudge against the store owner.
"Your Highness, I've finished ordering. How many dishes do you want?" Xiang Lao looked very old.
"What are you here?" Hu Jiao asked the shop next to him.
"Return to the customer, the shop mainly sells fish dishes, and there are all kinds of fish that are made here." The fish-headed demon didn't make any expression, and the waiter replied.
The tiger dragon was slightly silent. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, took a few steps back and looked at the horizontal sign on the front door of the store.
I saw six big words written in the above words "Only make fish dishes".
"I am living in the water, and the fish I eat the most." Hu Jiao was speechless, but since he had already come here, he could only choose to come here, so he could do it and order a sashimi.
After eating, Hu Jiao and others stayed there. Yuan Xiang said goodbye and left. He first informed the king of the Sunless Kingdom here and prepared to welcome him tomorrow.
