Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

Wen Jiao is not a heartless person.

In modern times, she had a crush on the academic genius for four years, and she could recite every honor he won by heart. After they got engaged, they worked in different places, and when her boyfriend was about to come, she went to the airport in the rain with flowers in her arms to meet him.

A colleague once joked: "You are so enthusiastic, it's as if you owed him something in your previous life."

At that time, she was flipping through the photo album of herself and her boyfriend, smiling: "I just love to be nice to him, I am happy. Liu Sanjie sings well, even if she dies at the age of 97, she will wait for three years on the Naihe Bridge."

A colleague complained: "Shouldn't it be 'Lian Lian Lian, our friendship will last a hundred years. Whoever dies at the age of ninety-seven will wait on the Naihe Bridge for three years'?"

Wen Jiao didn't care: "As long as the words convey the meaning, don't be so serious."

But time passed quickly and she couldn't even remember his face or name.

So, how much possibility can there be for love between a tree and a cicada, a river and a gull? When the latter two give their infatuated hearts to the former two, and time flies by, and they still cannot get the expected response, will they really not feel resentful and feel that it is not worth it?

"The iceberg has no memory, but the yellow crane has knowledge." Yuan Tiangang smiled, a faint smile, but it was unforgettable. "From the beginning of my cultivation, I knew that I had no destiny with the way of immortality."

Wen Jiao's eyes flickered slightly.

A fortune teller cannot tell his own fortune, but for a genius fortune teller like Yuan Tiangang who has such extraordinary powers and can reveal the secrets of the universe, how could his fate escape his eyes?

The howling wind made Yuan Tiangang's face cold. He put down his hands and said, "So what? I am the leader of the Shu Sect. I have also gained a share of the secrets of the Three Thousand Great Daos. I think I am better than those immortals who are nameless and only seek to be indifferent and quiet, and have no influence on the world. Every moment I exist in this world, Yuan Tiangang only wants to do my best and have no regrets."

He looked at her, his eyes focused as if he was peeping into the profound secrets of the universe: "Yin Wenjiao, I do like you."

Wen Jiao's fingertips trembled slightly.

He then continued, "You don't need to blame yourself, and you don't need to feel embarrassed. After all..."

He smiled softly, as if making a sentence of relief, "The yellow crane came across thousands of snowy mountains just to see the beauty of the iceberg. As for other things, I have no extravagant desires."

Wen Jiao sighed softly, and slowly stepped down from the sky. The cold clouds gathered and dispersed, submerging her jade-like back: "Seeking benevolence, you will get benevolence. Since you are determined and have no regrets, what can I say?"

Yuan Tiangang stood there for a long time, staring at the direction where she disappeared, until Fengji sneezed. The nine-tailed red fox swung its tail, wiped the ice chips from its beard, and asked in confusion: "What does she mean by this?"

Yuan Tiangang said nothing.

Feng Ji stood up on all fours, shook off the ice beads on his fur, and said painfully, "You should at least move a little. I know you have the Dust-Repelling Beads, so you are not afraid of ice and snow. But you have been motionless for such a long time. This Fox King's legs are numb just by looking at you."

Yuan Tiangang then moved, but turned back to look at him: "She didn't promise me."

Fengji looked at him sympathetically, only to hear him continue: "But, she doesn't hate my feelings."

Fengji was silent for a while. The red fox lowered his head and nibbled on the snow to cool his rare and useless sympathy: "Don't breathe so hard when you speak next time."

The royal city of Ling State was the masterpiece of King Gesar. In order to demonstrate his supreme power, he used his divine power to transport countless huge stones from the deep mountains, cut them into the same size, and built a stone city on the plateau. He also invited skilled craftsmen from afar to use their exquisite craftsmanship to build a magnificent palace in the center of the city, in order to announce the birth of the first country of the scattered Ling State tribal group and the beginning of a new civilization to the world.

Chief Minister Rongcha never imagined that this magnificent city would fall into ruin in his hands.

After years of war, the once high city walls were stained with blood. Under the walls were piled up like mountains of corpses, their clothes were torn and unrecognizable, some were from the enemy, and more were from the people of Ling.

Rongcha, leaning on a cane, tremblingly led his men to identify the bodies, his gray hair fluttering in the wind, tears streaming down his face: "It has only been two years since the king left the country, and the capital of Ling State was breached, and the queen was lost. I am so sorry to King Gesar!"

His cries merged with the cries of the women and children of Lingguo who were searching for corpses, and turned into a cloud of sorrow that lingered over the earth.

Suddenly, the distant sky was lit up with the dust of marching troops, and the earth was faintly trembling. The people of Ling, who had been tempered by years of war and had become frightened birds, immediately looked over with trembling, and saw countless large flags fluttering in the wind.

The flag was made of a fabric that had never been seen before, thin and smooth, shimmering in the sun, and had large, unfamiliar words embroidered on it.

Under the flags was an army as vast as a mountain forest. They were lined up in neat rows, wearing dazzling armor. The weapons in their hands were dazzling and looked extremely sharp just by looking at them.

Are the White Tent King's troops coming back to attack again? Rongcha's palms, which were tightly holding his cane, were instantly covered with cold sweat.

No, that's not right. Rongcha had only seen such strictness in the soldiers trained by Prince Jiacha based on the impression of the Han army given by his mother, the Han concubine. When this army first met King Gesar under the leadership of Jiacha, the loyal old minister became extremely wary of this mixed-blood prince, even though this prince was an elder brother to King Gesar and treated him as a father.

But Jiacha's subordinates did not have such a solemn and murderous spirit.

The army stopped a hundred feet away from the royal city, and then a road was split in the middle like a wave split by divine power, and a team of knights drove out escorting an extremely gorgeous and strange carriage. The leader was a woman in green clothes with strange clothes. At such a distance, Rongcha could not see her face clearly, but he felt that this woman had a unique aura that seemed to blend into the snow-capped mountains and blue sky. He had only seen such a transcendent aura in King Gesar, and he couldn't help but feel awe.

At this moment, the woman seemed to have noticed his gaze and looked over. Her eyes were as bright as lightning, which frightened Rongcha so much that he pushed the attendant who was overwhelmed by the momentum of this mysterious army with a trembling voice and said, "Blow the horn quickly! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

He was able to defend the city for two years under the attack of the White Tent King's elite troops, but with this army, he didn't even have the confidence to hold out for a month. Moreover, the current Ling Kingdom is no longer as strong as it was when King Gesar just left!

The follower was pushed and fell over, stumbling towards the horn. After running a dozen steps, he saw several people on horseback rushing over from the mysterious army, shouting in Lingguo language as they rushed over: "Don't be nervous! Don't be afraid! We are all one of us!"

"This is the wedding escort team of the Tang princess that Jiacha Xiega asked for King Gesar to marry. When she heard that the royal city was in danger, the compassionate princess came day and night to protect Lingguo!"
