Chapter 374: April peach blossoms begin to bloom
Since that heavy rain, the Black Domain has been covered with clouds these days, and has not cleared the momentum of seeing the sky with clouds and mists, but it has not rained, as if it was quiet before the storm.
These days, more and more people gathered in the Black Domain, but fortunately, the matter of Canglan Sword Sect is ahead, which has sounded a wake-up call for these people in the martial arts world. Although the Black Domain is now crowded, under the pressure of Xingtian Mansion, nothing major happened. Even if there were some conflicts, they were still silent under the mediation of Xingtian Mansion.
Many people are watching. The success or failure of Xingtian Mansion is almost all about this battle. If Gu Qing wins, the top forces in the world will add Xingtian Mansion from now on, and will no longer be limited to the Black Domain, but look at the world, no one will dare to stroke the tiger's beard.
If Gu Qingci failed, the result can be imagined. Xing Tianfu doesn’t know how many years it takes to work hard, nor how many people will take the opportunity to intervene in the black domain.
The people from Canglan Sword Sect have already entered the black domain, but Zhao Shanhe is really like an ordinary old man. Starting from Canglan Sword Sect, even an ordinary warrior can arrive in half a month, but he waited until Qingming Festival passed before entering the black domain, for a full twenty days.
However, what disappointed many people was that Zhao Shanhe entered the Black Domain and was still walking slowly. It would probably take a lot of time to go from Zhuo County to Baidi City, but no matter how anxious he was, no one dared to urge him, so he could only wait.
On the banks of a river in Baidi City, the smoke is like waves. This is a bit wet mist, like a fairyland. There is a building by the river called Yanyu Tower. It is crowded on weekdays, but today it is extremely quiet. There is only a young man in white looking at the peach blossoms in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Looking at the peach blossoms in a hazy state, it has a unique flavor. A gust of wind blew, and a large piece of peach blossoms flew down. Gu Qingci reached out to catch a peach blossom, and a drop of water rolled down to the palm of his hand, which was a little cool.
"I once said that the flowers in April of the world are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom. I didn't expect that this year is the first time the peach blossoms in the black field are blooming, and it is another time for flowers to bloom and fall. I don't know when I can plant the ten miles of peach blossoms with my own hands..."
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind: "Since Lord Gu is so devoted, why not go to Tianshan to propose marriage?"
Gu Qingci's hand shook slightly, and the peach blossoms slowly flew up and gradually disappeared into the thick fog. He slowly turned around and said, "King Ksitigarbha, you are finally here."
The thick fog that was faintly visible seemed to be blown by the wind, and the waves softly formed, gradually forming a whirlpool. The King of Ksitigarbha, wearing a black robe and wearing a mask, appeared and bowed: "Don't blame Lord Gu, I should visit me, but I went to Shuzhong a few days ago and came back today."
"Oh, Shuzhong," Gu Qingci said lightly: "I am a native of Shuzhong. I don't know what Ksitigarbha is going to Shuzhong?"
The two walked side by side and came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Gu Qingci poured a cup of tea for Ksitigarbha, and then picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
"It's nothing, I'm just going to worship my old friend." Ksitigarbha put down his teacup and said, "Mr. Gu asked me to come here for this battle with Canglan Sword Sect!"
"No," Gu Qingci waved his hand gently, dispelling a lot of fog that was shrouded in it, and said, "To be honest, this matter is also my Xingtian Mansion that took the blame for your underworld. Did Ksitigarbha King not intend to make any statement? This is just the beginning. If the battle between the righteous and the demons breaks out in the future, then my black domain will be stabbed to the sky."
"Does Lord Gu want to go back on his word?" said Ksitigarbha.
"Not this," Gu Qingci said: "It's just that I feel that the underworld has passed a little. You are so fucked by yourself, but I just asked my Xingtian Mansion to come to take care of your underworld. This is not very suitable!"
Ksitigarbha King pondered for a moment and said, "My Lord Gu, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on my underworld. It is such a coincidence that my underworld happens to be hidden in the black domain. Moreover, it has been decades. It is impossible for my underworld to move away because Xingtian’s mansion came, right?"
Gu Qingci shook his head and said, "I am not so domineering. I just feel that some things must be explained clearly. I cannot let my Xingtian Mansion block so many people in the underworld for your underworld. You must know that after the Battle of the Righteous Demon, no one can explain clearly."
Ksitigarbha finally understood what Gu Qingci meant and said, "Mr. Gu, I also said directly that the underworld is special and it is impossible to appear in the world. But these people in the martial arts world are a little self-righteous, which does cause great trouble to Xingtian Mansion. However, there is no conflict of interest between the underworld and Xingtian Mansion, so we will not be enemies."
"No one can tell whether it will become an enemy." Gu Qingci said.
"At least we are allies now," said Ksitigarbha King: "I can kill Zhao Shanhe, and even if there is a grandson coming to Canglan Sword Sect in the future, my underworld will take it."
Gu Qingci was a little surprised and said, "Are you serious?"
Ksitigarbha nodded and said, "Everyone knows that our underworld is different from the sects in the world. We are in a different space. It's just that when there was a problem in the battle thirty years ago, we had to hide in the black domain. Since the underworld is born now, we naturally repaired that space ourselves. At most, we will leave the black domain for three or five years."
Mr. Wuque once told Gu Qingci that the existence of the underworld is a very special space, similar to the sword tomb in the Abyss and Cave Heaven, which comes from another space. Of course, if it is just like this, there is nothing to be too surprised. After all, the seven sects and eight sects have unknown places, such as the mountains outside the mountain in Qixiufang. No one knows where the mountain is, unless the Qixiufang is broken.
However, the reason why the underworld is so legendary is that their unknowable land can be moved, which is why the underworld is confident of acting without any scruples. If Mr. Wuque hadn't personally taken action thirty years ago, the underworld would not have been defeated.
"Okay," Gu Qingci said lightly: "The underworld is still in the Black Domain for a while, and we can join forces. In the troubles of the outside world, I, Xingtian Mansion, can take over for you, including after the Battle of the Righteous Demons, we can clean up for you. However, if a master comes, the underworld must take action."
When Gu Qingci said this, he did not have much expectations. According to his words, the underworld almost played the role of a thug for Xing Tian Mansion. Thinking from the perspective of others, if Gu Qingci was from the underworld, he would never agree.
However, to Gu Qingci's surprise, Ksitigarbha actually nodded and said, "I agreed to Lord Gu's request. In order to show sincerity, I will destroy Zhao Shanhe today."
