My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 70
Luoye Ridge is named for its fallen leaves all over the mountains.

After autumn, the wind blows, and the fallen leaves all over the mountain are like rolling waves, which is truly spectacular.

Even in some mountain depressions, after years of accumulation of fallen leaves, they are like swamp pits. If you step on the ground, they will be directly submerged by fallen leaves and die of suffocation.

Even experienced hunters have to be careful when going in and out of it, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to move around in the mountains.

There is no way to rely on mountains to eat mountains, so naturally there are few people.

At this time, on a river bank twenty miles away from Luoye Ridge, thousands of soldiers gathered here.

Amid the murderous aura soaring into the sky, there was a huge banner fluttering in the wind, with four big characters written on it:

"Conquer the evildoers"!
However, it has been more than half an hour since the barracks assembled here, but they still haven't marched towards Fallen Leaves Ridge.

On a hill across the river, Jiang Yuan woke up from meditation, exhaled slowly, and his face was slightly relieved.

I got up and took a few steps, overlooking the barracks on the other side, and found that there were not many changes, and there was no sign of sending troops.

Then he looked at the red sun in the sky, and couldn't help complaining:

"The efficiency of this Dragon Palace's operations is really low. It's almost dark, and there's no one left."

Half a day ago, he learned from Xunhai Yecha that Dragon Palace was about to send troops to subdue the demons, so Jiang Yuan immediately set off and rushed to Luoyeling.

The cassock's ability to fly against the wind, and the method of lightening one's body, was used repeatedly, and the vitality in the body was completely consumed, and finally caught up with the soldiers and horses of the Aolai country not long ago.

From what he had seen and heard in Yingxian Temple before, coupled with Yasha's words patrolling the sea, and the sounds from the military camp below, Jiang Yuan also understood the cause of the incident.

In short, the Aolai Kingdom held a grand sacrifice to the Dragon Palace, praying for the Dragon Palace to come forward to subdue the demons. After the Dragon King considered it, he sent the Seventh Prince to lead the army.

Jiang Yuan and the troops below are waiting for the Dragon Palace sailors.

The people of Aolai Country were worried that ordinary soldiers would not be able to wipe out the Luoyeling monsters, but Jiang Yuan naturally took advantage of the fire to loot and came here for Jiusuihe.

"Hey, these two people."

Jiang Yuan suddenly shook his head and sighed, but he saw an acquaintance in the barracks.

Li Buyan and Wang Jiping, who went with him to Yingxian Temple, were following the "Han Yaksha" Song Qihong with excited faces, shuttling back and forth in the army.

Beside the heroine, there are several men and women dressed as warlocks, who should be priests or staff.

Glancing at the acquaintances, Jiang Yuan's eyes finally fell on the river.

Miao Zhu of the Dragon King Temple, dressed in sacrificial robes, was standing by the water and bowing his head, reciting scriptures.

"Is it the Supreme Induction Sutra, or the God-blessing Mantra?"

Jiang Yuan guessed at will.

Another thing that surprised Jiang Yuan was that there was no response from Luoye Ridge.

Although this place is still twenty li away from Fallen Leaves Ridge, the movement of thousands of people is not small. Could it be that the demon king hasn't noticed it yet?
Is it blind arrogance, or confidence?

Or, just lack of strength?

Seeing that the sun in the sky was a little lower, Jiang Yuan sighed:
"Could it be that Dragon Palace plans to send troops at night?"

Not only Jiang Yuan sighed, but also the people of insight in the barracks below became anxious.

Ordinary soldiers are already weak against monsters, and it is even more disadvantageous if they fight at night.

I saw Song Qihong and several soldiers walking quickly towards the Dragon King Temple by the river, and the two sides soon fell into a dispute.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and picked up a few stones casually.

The vitality of the dantian flows into the palm, and the stone moves and jumps between the fingers.

This is not only to kill boredom, but also to practice the martial arts passed down by Monkey King and to master the use of vitality.

The stones danced more and more flexibly at the fingertips, like living elves, Jiang Yuan's expression became more and more focused, and he had no time to pay attention to the outside world.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the face, mixed with moist water vapor, Jiang Yuan's face felt cold, and he woke up suddenly.

call--

The wind was howling, and the trees on the hills were rattling.

The sunset was still in the sky, and the sky was clear, but on both sides of the river bank, there were overcast clouds, wind and rain, and the sky was dark.

The source of the change was a thick cloud that was rapidly drifting along the river below.

The big river has already been churning with waves, and the water vapor is rising. From time to time, huge water columns are rolled up, rushing high into the dark clouds, turning into dragons to absorb water.

The dark clouds soon arrived above the barracks on the river bank, the howling wind became more fierce, and the heavy rain poured down.

A three-foot-tall, indigo-like face, huge fangs, and a ferocious body holding a harpoon appeared above the clouds, bent down and spoke to the crowd below, with a thunderous voice:

"I am Yasha Xunhai. The Seventh Prince has ordered me to set off for Yaoshan immediately."

The Aolai country's men and horses who were kneeling down hurriedly shouted "obedience". After a burst of soldiers and horses mobilized, the barracks moved towards Luoye Ridge.

There was a dragon's roar in the dark clouds, and the wind and rain in the sky stopped suddenly. Then the wind dissipated, the rain receded, and the water of the big river gradually calmed down.

Then, a dark cloud floated over the army and followed it.

When the river bank completely returned to calm, Jiang Yuan came out from the shadows, looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and frowned:

"With such a big battle, aren't you afraid to disturb the demon king and let the demon king prepare in advance?"

"Forget it, it's Dragon Palace after all, so we need to show some ostentation."

Jiang Yuan pursed his lips, jumped down the hill, touched the surface of the river a few times, and chased after the army ahead.

Of course, I didn't approach it rashly, I just hung far behind.

With the crown prince of the Dragon King on his head, the soldiers of Aolai Kingdom were very excited, so they marched very fast, and the distance of twenty miles was passed in a short time.

Luoye Ridge is also full of evil spirits, wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, deer deer, foxes and sheep are running wildly all over the mountain, and a few strange birds are circling and neighing in the sky.

A big flag was erected on the mountain - "Lord Ujin the Fallen Leaf Ridge", and a few little demons were beating the gongs and drums under the flag, waving the flag and shouting.

A cloud of black wind suddenly sprang up from the group of monsters, reaching in front of the dark clouds in the sky, revealing a monster holding a steel knife, clasped his hands and shouted:

"I didn't know that the honored guest was coming, but I was far away to welcome you. Hiccup, I hope you will forgive me."

The monster's body is already in human form, only the deer deer's head remains.

The whole body is as black as iron, and it is covered with heavy armor. Among the messy golden hairs, a pair of black and shiny right angles rise into the sky.

The monster opened his mouth, and the strong smell of alcohol rushed to his face, and he hiccupped while speaking, obviously from a hangover.

This can also explain why the demon king did not rush to fight until the Aolai people and Dragon Palace arrived in front of Luoyeling Mountain.

After the demon king's words fell, the dark clouds surged, and Li Geng, the sea patrolling Yasha, jumped to the top of the clouds, waved his harpoon and shouted angrily:
"Monster! You, together with the demons, deceived the people and committed cannibalism. My crown prince was here to pray for the people and wiped out your demon nest."

The demon king opened his eyes drunkenly: "Could it be that I'm still drunk, why are you talking such nonsense?"

"Monsters eat people, just like people eat animals. It's a matter of course. Even the Jade Emperor can't care about it. You Dragon Palace really meddle in their own business."

Xunhai Yasha's eyes showed a fierce light, and he roared angrily: "Bold, how can you, a monster like you, be able to slander the Dragon Palace!"

The demon king was still drinking, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I'm a monster, so why are you here at Dragon Palace?"

Patrol Yaksha was about to scold again, and a young voice came out from the dark clouds:
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and wipe out this nest of monsters, I have to go to Fenglinzhou to play."
