Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 474 Sky Demon
At noon the next day, in Zuzhou City, the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres. Not far to the south is Fengqiwu. Between the two is a bustling street market with large and small stores, everything you need.

Qin Huai and others walked up the layers of white marble steps, and under the guidance of Qingque, they soon arrived at two deep red doors with copper rings with animal heads.

There is a faint pattern of phoenix on the door, and on the left and right there are pictures of gods with weird appearances and ancient clothes and armor riding on clouds to protect the house.

As if sensing the presence of everyone, the two doors opened on their own. The copper rings in the mouth of the Taotie beast tinkled automatically without wind, accompanying the jade bells under the eaves, as if playing a song of welcome.

Qin Huai stepped over the threshold and saw a screen wall inside.

On the screen wall, there is a painting of "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix". Hundreds of birds of various shapes and appearances are scattered in all corners. Some are combing their feathers, some are whispering to each other, chatting and laughing. When they see the distinguished guest coming, they quickly spread their wings and show their feathers to greet him.

After walking around the screen wall, one can see tea trees planted all over the courtyard, birds flying around, and a road leading directly to the hall.

The nine-ridged hip roof is covered with glazed tiles, which have a bright golden luster. While reflecting the light, they also serve as the base for several phoenix statues.

Everything seems to indicate that the mayor of Zuzhou City also has some relationship with the phoenix bird.

It was not until Qin Huai stepped into the hall and saw the city lord sitting high behind the golden pillars that he realized that his previous guess was not groundless.

This city lord with black hair and dark eyebrows is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has an outstanding figure and skin. The flower ornament on his forehead is as red as fire, like a scorching sun on a thousand miles of snowy plains.

"I heard that an old friend of Feng Jun came from afar."

The Lord of Zuzhou City stood up to greet him, smiled slightly, and said with a cupped hand: "I'm sorry that Huangwu didn't come to greet me from afar."

"It is we who are disturbing the city lord, how can it be considered rude?"

Qin An glanced at Tan Song with a smile, then returned the greeting and exchanged names.

"My Zuzhou City is the most special place within a thousand miles of the East China Sea. It also has some rare and beautiful scenery that we can be proud of. It's a pity that fellow Taoist has to follow Feng Jun to investigate the disappearance of the sacred mountain. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to stay here for a few days and have fun and rest peacefully."

Huang Wu sighed softly, looked at Tan Song, stood up and bowed again: "I would like to thank you on behalf of Feng Jun!"

"You are too polite, Lord. Brother Feng is an old friend of mine and we share similar interests. He has already told me that the sacred mountain is missing and there may be signs of disaster. How can I just sit there and watch and have fun?"

Qin An waved his hand, indicating that the celestial demon from Zuzhou should not take it seriously.

"Fellow Taoist Gao Yi."

Huang Wu sat down leisurely and said, "I have already sent people to spread this matter to the other nine continents and the thirty-three heavens. If we can call on many demon kings and immortals to search together, we will definitely be able to find some clues."

Qin An nodded and said straight to the point: "The one who can move three sacred mountains overnight must be a celestial demon. We have been practicing in the secluded world for a long time and don't know the structure of the ten continents. As the only red phoenix celestial demon in Zuzhou, does the city lord have any suspects about the disappearance of the sacred mountains?"

Huang Wu shook his head: "Xuanzhou Zhen Gong, Yanzhou Fengzhe, Changzhou Zi Nu, Yuanzhou Zhixian, Liuzhou Jianzhu, these five are all immortals with indifferent natures and do not like to cause trouble. They will never come all the way to Guixu, disobey the order of the Emperor of Heaven, and move the throne of the Divine Mountain without authorization."

“As for Guangrao Shengzhou, although there are tens of thousands of immortals, they are all independent cultivators with little background. None of them can reach the realm of heavenly demons, so they are the least suspicious.”

Huang Wu paused and continued, "In terms of nature, the Mo Qilin of Fenglin Continent is the most erratic, and the Long Xiang of Ju Ku Continent is the most difficult to reason with. If these two are provoked by some villain, it is very likely that they will leave the sacred mountain and cause trouble after a few words."

"Where is Sea God Yu Qiang? Does the city lord know of any other hidden celestial demons like him?"

Qin Huai's eyes moved and he suddenly interrupted.

Huang Wu was slightly startled and shook his head: "Ever since Yu Qiang captured a few giant whales to guard the North Sea a hundred years ago, and he informed the Emperor of Heaven that he wanted to retreat to gain enlightenment, I haven't heard of him for a long time. As for other hidden celestial demons, I don't know either. Maybe the Emperor of Heaven knows more, but he hasn't left Yuanming Palace for a long time."

"So it's really unclear who the culprit is."

Qin Huai sighed, seeming somewhat helpless. Just in and outside the City Lord's Mansion, he had detected the aura of the Demon King (Seven Palaces) on the fingers of his hand, and this number did not include those who might have deliberately hidden themselves.

Looking at the entire magnificent city, it would be normal for the number of seven-palace-level buildings to double.

The whole fruit can at least give birth to the seven palaces with three digits and the six officials with two digits. As for whether there will be a higher level of five elders,
Qin Huai glanced at the carefree Qin An, then flipped through the [Chained Divine Aurora] and said to Huang Wu, "Excuse me, I wonder if the city lord can recognize the object in this painting?"

Huang Wu did not refuse and took it. Her beautiful eyes were shining with brilliance and her pupils were like bright golden spots, as if she was using some kind of advanced magical power.

His eyes gently fell on the painting, and then spread along the chains to the entire body. The luster of the chains suddenly changed slightly, as if copying and magnifying the spells.

"This chain should be a strange trap."

As expected, Huang Wu only took a look at the painting and came to a rough guess: "But unfortunately, the way I practice is not the spiritual language of the formation, so I can't recognize who cast this formation."

She handed the scroll back, pondered for a moment, and said, "But I know a place where there are many immortals from the ten continents and three islands. Maybe there are some extraordinary people who can recognize this formation.

There are hundreds of rivers in ten continents, and thousands of mountains and rivers. Qianchuanhaiji is a treasure land for casual cultivators that gathers the world's treasures and countless news. I think you can go there and give it a try."

"understood."

Qin Huai took the scroll and thought about it.

The energy level of this newly discovered Yambu fruit is indeed very high. Big monsters appear frequently and all races prosper, but this also brings troubles to their salvage work.

Apart from anything else, the Ninja Land, which has always been invincible with low-level fruits, has been greatly restricted in this Yamabu incident.

But now is not the time to worry about such things. After all, the energy level of the Yambu Fruit is naturally like this, and there is no point in complaining.

Given the current situation, we can only try our best to find a solution based on the existing clues.
-
The sea and the sky are one color, vast and boundless.

Occasionally, a few clever birds fly in the sky, like a few grains of white sand between the blue sky and earth.

The Moon Rock Tower Ship, with a faint glow, made a rustling sound, the dozens of meters high sails were fully pulled, and several large flags embroidered with tigers were flying. [Wangyue] slowly left Zuzhou.

"The main purpose of going to Qianchuanhaiji this time is to collect information. Secondly, it is to bring Xiao Hongxue and Ah Wu back as well."

Qin An, who had just come out of Zuzhou City after eating and drinking, was making coffee. There were only him, Qin Huai, and Tan Song in the room.

"Are these two also agents?"

Qin Huai had heard Qin An mention the name "Hong Xue" before, but he didn't expect that she was also in the current fruit.

"Well, Hong Xue is the agent of [Wu Daozi], and Ah Wu is the agent of [Golden Heavenly King]. When I decided to come to [Nang·Dingmao 425] for an in-depth exploration, the two of them volunteered to enter the fruit first. They planned to appreciate the styles of all races and collect spiritual materials and treasures, and also see if they could find some useful clues for this salvage."

As he spoke, Qin An casually took out a wooden box and threw it to Qin Huai: "Before leaving, the little red phoenix gave you and Ling'er the [Spirit Nourishing Ganoderma] for your uncle Tan's sake. It can reduce the burden on your soul."

Qin Huai took the wooden box and opened it. Inside were two colorful radish seedlings with fire patterns and three feet long. [Shen Yang Zhi]: A legendary consumable, born in the high stone marsh of Zuzhou, and born from drinking Yingquan. After swallowing it, Yanfu Walking can obtain [Yanfu Secret Treasure: Shen Yang], which directly strengthens the three souls and seven spirits, and speeds up the recovery of the soul and spirit.

"Mr. Qin, do you think this fruit will have five elders?"

Qin Huai did not act pretentiously. After thanking Tan Song, he put away the two plants of [Yang Shen Zhi] and turned to ask the question that had been bothering him.

"I don't know, maybe, maybe not."

Qin An picked up the coffee cup with white steam rising from it, pointed at the ceiling above his head, and said, "So I plan to go to the Thirty-Three Heavens to see how powerful the Emperor of Heaven is."

"Mr. Qin, shall we go together?"

Tan Song asked with a serious expression.

"No, I'll go by myself, it's more convenient. Besides, you and Ah Huai stay here, you can fight and run, even if you are besieged by the six divisions, you can protect yourselves, I'm very relieved."

Qin An waved his hand and drank the coffee in the cup.

Tan Song didn't speak immediately after hearing this. He was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, I will definitely help you take care of Wangyue."

"Well, it's getting late, let's take a rest."

Qin An looked at the bright moon outside the window. Before the last word fell, he disappeared.

"Brother Qin, if you have anything, feel free to text me."

"Good night, Mr. Tan."

After seeing Tan Song off, Qin Huai also left the luxuriously decorated captain's room and turned into the cabin.

[Moon Viewing] The cabin is divided into nine floors. Except for the observation deck and the control room on the top floor, the rest are guest rooms.

The first floor from bottom to top is the most spacious and open hall, with a layout somewhat similar to a restaurant bar, with many tables and chairs and an aisle in the middle.

At the end of the corridor, there are stairs on both sides and a huge curtain hanging in the middle.

Qin Huai searched from top to bottom and finally found the painter Ze Yu who was watching a cartoon in the hall on this floor.

He glanced at the screen and found that the film playing was the Shanghai Film Studio's mythical puppet film "The Magic Brush of Ma Liang".

"It's late at night. Didn't Brother Ze say that he couldn't handle the alcohol during the day? Why haven't you rested yet?"

Qin Huai picked up the kettle at the bar, poured two glasses of boiled water, then walked to Ze Yu and started chatting.

"I saw a brand new painting, so I decided to observe it patiently and comprehend it."

Ze Yu pointed at the moving portrait on the curtain, took the cup of water, and continued, "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you know the principle of how this painting was created?"

"I have a rough understanding. In fact, as long as you construct the entire story and character images in your mind, imprint these images into the water mirror talisman with your divine thoughts, and then invite a clever and eloquent bird to recite and dub the words for these characters, you can complete a video recording."

Qin Huai smiled slightly, and took out a blank [Three Landscape Mirror Development Talisman].

"Try?"

"it is good."

Ze Yu held the talisman tightly and thought carefully for a moment, then projected the image imprinted in it. Sure enough, the picture was rich, the movements were smooth, and the scenery was extremely beautiful, making people feel as if they were there.

"It's really good. I wonder if you can teach me the method of drawing talismans?"

Just as Qin Huai was about to speak, a reminder from Yanfu rang in his ears.

"The demon painter Ze Yu is trying to get your teachings and learn how to draw the [Three Mountains and Water Mirror Appearance Scroll]."

"If you agree, you can make a request to him that is within his ability."

"Master Walker, you can choose to activate [Special Yanfu Event: Seeking Immortals!]"

[Ze Yu is the most skilled painter in the Bai Ze tribe. He has been extremely gifted since childhood and can speak human language and understand the feelings of all things. Later, he traveled to the ten continents and three islands and knew the appearance of all things in the world. His painting "Bai Ze Jingguai Tu" is a book of all spirits and tribes, and is very precious.]

After reading this text which was neither ancient nor plain, Qin Huai used [A Glimpse] again and found that although Ze Yu's condition was still unclear, information related to the Yanfu incident also popped up.

[Special Yamafu Event: Seeking Immortals! ]

Requirements: Participate in the creation of at least three of Ze Yu's spiritual paintings, act as a major character, and ensure Ze Yu's survival.

Note: After completing this Yamafu event, you will obtain your own [Sumeru Illusion]!
"You have activated [Special Yanfu Event: Seeking Immortals!]"

Qin Huai, who had witnessed the many wonderful uses of the Sumeru Illusion, naturally had no hesitation. He immediately accepted this special Yanfu event based on Zero's suggestion.

After taking out paper and pen, writing down the method of drawing the [Three Landscape Mirror Development Talisman] and handing it to Ze Yu, Qin Huai personally pointed out several mistakes to him.

Soon, the gifted Ze Yu drew his own [Three Landscape Mirror Development Talisman] and projected the picture in his mind into reality.

Although he didn't know how Ze Yu, who had no meteorological power, could make the Qingwei talismans he drew still have the same effectiveness, Qin Huai was happy to see it and didn't delve into it further.

"Huai Lang, it's late at night, why don't you rest?"

Qin Huai was just about to have a chat with Ze Yu, who had learned a new trick, when he heard Ao Ling's light voice coming from behind him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, today's beautiful scenery is rare, you must not waste it, you must not waste it!"

Ze Yu had been traveling in the world for a long time and was very worldly-wise. When he heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed and was about to take his leave.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. Ling'er was afraid that Huai Lang would miss his rest, so she came to remind him."

Although Ao Ling said this, he did not stop and soon came to Qin Huai.

"Fellow Daoist Ze, today during the day, I heard the Lord of Huangwu City talking about Qianchuan Haiji. You often travel between the ten continents, so you must know a lot about this place. Can you tell us about it?"
