    Capital!

    Auntie heard the sad news that her baby son was going to join the army again.

    For my aunt, who is poorly educated, short-sighted, and thinks she’s a fairy, war is synonymous with death, symbolizing the destruction of a family and the sending off of a white-haired person.

    This fall, Xu Erlang accompanied the army on the northern expedition to aid the demon barbarians, aunt couldn’t eat or sleep well for a month straight, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, dreaming that Erlang died under the iron hooves of the Jing Kingdom.

    Xu Pingzhi at first carefully cared for and warmly comforted his wife.

    After a long time, the heart vomits: Jiro dies once a day in your dream, can you not curse him?

    The warmth of the hall was bright with candlelight.

    As the family gathered around the table to enjoy dinner, Erlang Xu said confidently:

    “Mother, don’t worry, I’m now a Seventh Grade Benevolent.”

    The aunt asked when she heard:

    “How powerful is a seventh-grade Injun?”

    Xu Erlang mused and pondered:

    “The seventh grade of Confucianism experiences benevolence and righteousness and establishes morality, but there is no battle power bonus. Well, if I have to say growth, it’s that I can hold on to my heart more and more and not be seduced by wealth, color, and alcohol.”

    The aunt “spat”:

    “That is still a weak scholar, I would rather you be tempted by wine, sex and wealth, Dalang used to be honest, it is very unproductive. After Tien went to the Department of Education, he became the world-famous Xu Yinluo.”

    Xu Er Lang was choked speechless.

    At that moment, Lina swallowed the food in her mouth and said:

    “Brother Erlang, when are you going to march? I will accompany you south.”

    Heojiro scrutinized her, “You?”

    Is it my family’s rice that doesn’t smell good.

    Lina’s delicate face showed a helpless look:

    “Xu Ningyan contacted me yesterday, saying that he was going to the southern border on business, and that he might have to make a trip to the Compass Clan, and hoped that I could lead the way and introduce him. Alas, I can’t bear to leave the capital and everyone.”

    You can t afford to give up my family s white rice, right ……… Xu Erlang s heart slandered, “Oh”, considering Lina s meal size, said:

    “It’s fine to accompany them, but provide your own money and food.”

    Military food can’t be wasted on her.

    Auntie’s beautiful eyes lit up as she patted her plump breasts, “Lina is Suzume’s master, all the traveling expenses on the road should be covered by us.”

    This rice bucket from the southern border is finally leaving, and her meals alone are worth ten people in the Xu residence.

    Moreover, once Lina returned to the Southern Border, Suzaku wouldn’t have to practice martial arts and could be sent to the palace to study.

    A while ago, Tai Fu kept sending people to send posts, wanting to accept Suzaku as a closed disciple, but they were all pushed back by Erlang Xu with concern for Tai Fu’s life and safety.

    In my aunt’s opinion, a literary leader like Taifu was an indispensable mentor to Suzume on her way to becoming “knowledgeable and sensible”.

    Lina said with a twist of words:

    “I want to take Suzume back to the Southern Border, the force compulsion in her body has entered the first stage of maturity, I want it to absorb the power of the Compulsion God before it enters the second stage, this is very important and directly relates to Suzume’s future potential.

    “Also, I’ve taken in a super genius as a disciple, so Father and the clan will be very happy when they find out.”

    She wanted to take her apprentice back to the Power Compulsion Department to show off.

    “No!”

    Auntie slammed her chopsticks on the table and objected loudly.

    “Indeed not.”

    Uncle Xu Ershu gave his assessment in a pertinent tone.

    “But Xu Ningyan has already promised, he said that Suzume has so much potential that she should lay a foundation in her childhood. With Suzume’s natural talent, she will definitely become a forceful overlord in the future, just like my father. In the words of you Central Plains people, you will be famous in the future.”

    Lena said.

    Powerful and powerful? The aunt’s face turned green when she heard that.

    No, at that time, the history books will only write that Xu Lingyin has the qualifications of a hegemon, but the business venture is not yet half with the division to travel far, and it died in the middle of the journey ……… Xu Erlang shook his head.

    Lina patted her small chest and persuaded in her own rustic language, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Suzume and bring her to the Southern Border without any problems.”

    We are most uneasy is that you take her, stupid girl with a stupid child, can long distance trek back to the southern border is strange ……….. Uncle Xu muttered in his heart and said in a deep voice:

    “Now that the world is in turmoil, you, a little girl taking Suzume to the Southern Border, are bound to meet with misfortune on the way.”

    Lina immediately patted her chest, “I’m already fourth grade.”

    Uncle Xu was confused for a moment, and immediately revealed a hesitant expression.

    If Lina had a fourth grade battle power, it really wouldn’t be much of a problem.

    “And I can still contact Xu Ningyan in real time, he’s also in the Southern Border nowadays and will come to help if he’s really in trouble.” Lina said.

    In order to prove that she wasn’t lying, Lina ignored Daoist Master Jinlian’s instructions and took out the fragment of the Earth Book in full view of everyone and contacted Xu Qi’an.

    She passes on her family’s objections to Xu Qi’an.

    But Lina forgot about the private chat and spoke about it directly in the Earthbook group.

    What? Lina’s taking Suzaku south? They’re not going all the way west.]

    [Four: Based on Lina’s miserable encounter when she came to the capital, we can’t rule out this possibility.]

    [2: Yeah, with Suzaku and Rina’s wisdom, my advice would be to not be impulsive and stay well in the capital.]

    Xu Rui Lao translates the information on it for his illiterate mother, while Lina explains who number two, four, and three are respectively.

    [3: There’s no harm in them arriving in Qingzhou with Erlang first, and then heading southwest to Yuzhou, so that they only need to travel on foot for about 1,000 kilometers to get to the southern border. We just need to ensure their safety while they are in Yuzhou.

    [Oh, actually, with Lina’s strength, there’s no need to worry so much. Proper honing will benefit them all, and I’ll have Senior Sun secretly look after them. Lina, you convey my words to Second Uncle and Er Lang.]

    Lina was just about to say that they were watching it too, when she saw Xu Qi’an pass the book again:

    [III: Still, a word of advice, don’t trust anyone, don’t be deceived.]

    [Two: Make sure you don’t get ripped off.]

    [IV: Be careful not to get ripped off.]

    [VI: Be careful not to be deceived.]

    [I: Be vigilant not to be deceived.]

    My God, how stupid is number five ……… Li Lingxu was stunned.

    Lina’s face flushed red with shame and anger, and just as she was about to end her transmission, she immediately saw Xu Qi’an’s next transmission:

    [3: Suzume’s talent is really good, it would be a waste not to practice force compulsion, my aunt is a fool, with unrealistic dreams that Suzume will be able to know the world, the whole family laughed at her, but she just didn’t say it.]

    When Li Miaozhen saw it, she immediately picked up the conversation:

    [Two: Aunt Xu is indeed silly and cute, and often lets your sister fool her.]

    [Four: Auntie Hsu’s love for her daughter is just a matter of love.]

    Xu Erlang translated for his mother with the mindset that “after the translation, big brother will be even worse off than me”. Lina glanced at her aunt, whose face was blue and murderous, and carefully passed on the letter:

    [5: Xu, Xu’s aunt watching from the sidelines ……..]

    The Earth Book chat group was steeply silent.

    And then no more sound.

    The aunt glared her large khaziran eyes round, cutting a glance at Lina and the fragment of the ground book before viciously cutting across Erlang Xu and Uncle Xu, gritting her teeth:

    “Laughing at me?”

    Finally locking onto Xu Ling Yue, “Playing me?”

    Uncle Xu and Erlang Xu hurriedly shook their heads.

    Xu Ling Yue said in a thin voice with a bit of aggression:

    “Don’t even know what Taoist Li is talking about, obviously when I borrowed the house, my daughter got along with her quite well.”

    Aunt easily believe the daughter, after all, is their own birth, know the daughter is not like a mother, on this good bullying look, can play themselves?

    She grunted, “Next time, I won’t let her stay at home. But that brat Xu Ningyan was right about one thing.”

    Turning to my son and husband and firing at them:

    “Don’t think I don’t know that you’re all laughing at me. None of you surnamed Xu are good ……….”

    …………

    How can this let me be a man ……… Li Miaozhen held the ground book fragments, and her cheeks burned with fire.

    Saying people s right and wrong behind their backs is not what a gentleman does ……… Chu Yuanjian, on the other hand, was satisfied that he abided by the character of a gentleman and did not say bad things about people behind their backs, even though he was full of grooves for Xu Suoyin s rotten wood that was difficult to carve.

    Li Lingsu, on the other hand, was in an inn somewhere, laughing out a pig’s squeal.

    He didn’t know why he was so happy, he just felt that my way was not alone.

    Lina this stupid, turn around and ask the Golden Lotus Taoist Master, the earth book fragment has no pull black function ah ………. In the Floating Pagoda, Xu Qi’an spat viciously.

    Putting away the pieces of the ground book, he picked up where he left off:

    “Take me to your night sister.”

    Shirahime pecked her head and hastily whispered:

    “We’ve already entered the boundary of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, you quickly don’t use the Floating Pagoda, it will be discovered by the people of the Buddhist Sect.”

    “Not so much.” Xu Qi’an lowered his head and glanced at the pale mountains, without any semblance of human habitation.

    Bai Ji, however, stood her ground and said:

    “After the Buddha Sect drove us out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains back then, they massively migrated the Westerners and built twenty-seven cities in the vast territory of the Demon Race. Each city has a Buddhist temple.

    “And without being a Buddhist temple, there is a golden bell, and when you encounter a crisis, ring the golden bell, and the golden bells in the other twenty-six Buddhist temples will have a sense. Reinforcements can be made quickly.

    “During the five hundred years of prosperity, the Buddhist Sect has built many more small towns and cities with the twenty-seven great cities at their core. Buddhist monks traveled to and from these towns from time to time, chanting sutras**.

    “The aura of the Floating Pagoda is so magnificent that Buddhist monks can sense it from a great distance.

    “You don’t want to startle the snakes!”

    Xu Qi’an let out an “oh” sound and commented, “Your Nymphet’s compulsory education is well popularized.”

    Shirahime is usually goofy and completely childlike in the beginning of her mind, and just a bit smarter than her own Suzaku.

    But when it comes to Buddhist knowledge, she has a very solid background and foundation, the kind that she completely eats and chews up, rather than memorizing from a book.

    From this point alone, it was not difficult to see that the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom attached great importance to the ideological construction of future generations of the demon race.

    The idea of remembering hatred and not forgetting national shame is deeply rooted in the hearts of the demons.

    “I intend to catch the wind, Nanjian, you rest in the tower.”

    He wants to meet his old lover in private, of course, Mu Nanjian can’t be present, and the fish pond owner has to know how to avoid risks.

    Mu Nan Gardenia only knew that Xu Qi’an had come to fulfill his agreement with the Demon Nymphet to unlock the Sealed Demon Nail, and did not know about the existence of Floating Fragrance.

    “Don’t, I’ve never been to the Southern Border before, it’s just the right time to take a tour.”

    “Well ……..”

    Immediately letting the Floating Pagoda land, Xu Qi’an carried Mu Nanjia on his back, with Bai Ji lying on his head, and slopped between the treetops.

    Miao Youfang hadn’t reached Huanjing yet, and was unable to perform this kind of lightness of lifting, running wildly through the forest to follow.

    The night was dismal, with a cool moonlight sprinkled overhead.

    Mu Nanjian wrapped her arms around Xu Qi’an’s neck, a cool breeze greeted her, and she squinted her eyes as she gazed out at the boundless forest and mountains that she could not see the end of.

    “It’s all mountains!”

    Munanjian murmured, “I like it here, don’t you?”

    The reincarnation of the flower goddess is filled with a sense of belonging to the vegetation-covered earth.

    Seeing that Xu Qi’an didn’t say anything, she was unhappy and grunted a bit:

    “In the future, if I don’t want to travel the rivers and lakes anymore, I’ll come and settle here, and we’ll go our separate ways from now on.”

    She often said similar things as a way to impose a sense of crisis, but Xu Qi’an ignored her every time.

    Mu Nan gardenia gas gnashing teeth, arrogant character and does not allow her to soften, so from time to time to fight a cold war.

    “I want to settle here now.” Mu Nanjian gambled.

    “Oh, it’s none of my business if you love to stay or not.” Xu Qi’an was cold and unfeeling.

    …….. Munan Gardenia raised her slap and hit him on the head, forgetting about the little white fox lying on his head.

    “Squeak~”

    The little white fox let out a sharp yelp as it was attacked by the sudden attack, and after calming down, it commiserated:

    “Auntie why are you hitting me again, I didn’t even say anything.”

    With some guilt, Mu Nanjian rubbed its head and said coldly:

    “I don’t want to go, I want to go back to the Floating Pagoda.”

    Just waiting for your words ……… Xu Qi an hurriedly offered the Floating Pagoda and took her in.

    “Done!”

    Xu Qi’an put away the pagoda with satisfaction.

    He had a way of dealing with all the other fish except for Luo Yuheng, the big shark.

    Then, he followed Bai Ji’s directions and flew in the air at the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

    The core area of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains was the capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom back then – the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain!

    Nowadays, the Mountain of Ten Thousand Demons has been renamed as the “Southern Kingdom” and is under the rule of the Southern Dharma Temple.

    Twenty-seven large cities, centered on the “City of the South”, radiated in all directions, and there were no towns on the fringe of the 100,000 Great Mountains, because this mountainous region was so vast that the Buddhist Sect did not have such a large population to occupy all the areas.

    At the same time, because of the terrain, many places were simply unsuitable for human habitation and survival.

    This also gave the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom room to infiltrate.

    To this day, there are many demon clans that have sneaked back into the 100,000 Mountains and are operating on the fringes.

    The Buddhists knew this all too well, but had been ignoring it.

    It’s not that it’s merciful, it’s that it can’t.

    Since ancient times, the toughest part of war is not the siege, but the subsequent guerrilla warfare.

    When the Southern Demons lost their territory, they became barefoot and could run amok.

    Bai Ji also said that there were a total of twelve market towns organized by the demon race on the fringes of the Great Hundred Thousand Mountains, some in natural caves, some in treacherous deep mountains. Some of them were by the rushing rivers.

    The best thing about these market towns is that they are simple and ready to be abandoned.

    Their advantage, on the other hand, was that they possessed a certain calling power, equivalent to iconic buildings that could gather the clansmen of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in a short period of time.

    “Belonging to military bases, these market towns can quickly organize their forces in the event of a war.”

    Xu Qi’an came to a realization.

    He hadn’t seen any human smoke on this trip.

    “The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains should be the largest mountainous terrain in the Kyushu Continent, it is not suitable for human habitation, filled with poisonous insects and beasts, miasma, no wonder it has become a side of the Demon Kingdom.

    “The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are actually unsuitable for human beings to live in large-scale groups, lacking cultivated land and only suitable for hunting for a living, which will make human civilization regress back to the hunting era.

    “Back then, when the Buddha Sect went out of their way to exterminate the Southern Demon, it actually went against the core purpose of the war. So there was bound to be another real purpose in this, which was qi fortune.

    “The Nine-Tailed Fox said that the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains condensed the demon race’s qi of the Kyushu Continent and could seal the Divine Fate. To make a bold speculation, the true purpose of the Buddha Sect’s desperate attempt to exterminate the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is to plunder the qi luck? If that’s the case, this thing called qi luck is more important than I thought.

    “The Witch God Sect and the Buddhist Sect tried to color the Central Plains for what should also be qi luck. The Confucian Sage, on the other hand, sealed His ……..

    “Warlock system, tied to chi ………”

    Xu Qi’an recalled the information and hidden secrets he was familiar with, and in the dark, he only felt that inspiration was about to burst forth, as if he had touched some extremely terrifying truth.

    But that’s too vague to accurately capture and summarize at one time.

    At that moment, Bai Ji raised her paw and pointed at a valley in the distance, cheering:

    “It’s right there!”
