Penglai delusion

The ancient forest where the Qianmu clan lived was located in the oasis at the end of the boundless sand sea in the realm of the sky.

When Tan Taixiu opened the space rift for the second time, Jiang Tan felt the breath of deep forest trees carrying a rich aura pouring over his face.

For a moment, the stagnated spiritual vein seemed to loosen a little.

"My lord, this is Xisen." Tantaixiu retracted the star shuttle, bowed his head and signaled, "Please come with me."

The deeper one goes, the denser the forest grows. With such growth, it is impossible to see that there is only a thin line between the forest land and the sandy sea outside.

After walking for more than a moment, there was faint ripples of light like a cold abyss among the lush leaves.

A falling star flashes past my eyes, and the river pond suddenly feels the majestic tide of the sea stinging among the branches and leaves, lurking and waiting to go.

Then I saw a pool of extremely clear water.There is a pure white giant tree standing alone on Tanxinsha Island, leaning against the waves and hanging down, forming a pair of shadows.

Tantaixiu only took one look, then whispered, "It seems that it will take some time for the ancestor to wake up."

"My king, come with me for now."

When the two moved a little further away, the turbulent moisture gradually dissipated.Then Tantaixiu said again, "After the separation of the three realms, the old ancestor began to sleep forever. However, as a caretaker, when more than half of our clan falls into dormancy, the old man will wake up by himself."

He apologized slightly, "I thought that at least half of the clansmen were dormant at this time of year."

"I have nothing else to do recently, so I can wait." Jiang Tan said, "Just go back before the boundary seal is closed."

Tantaixiu smiled, and handed him the star shuttle, "If your majesty is in a hurry, please accept this object. Although it can't cross the boundary, and it can only be used once again, within a boundary, whatever you want Arrive, immediately available."

"Thank you." Jiang Tan nodded and took it, thinking that if the time was too late, he would be able to reach the border of the seal immediately after activating it, without worrying about being sealed here.

The two of them walked to a group of tree houses, and Tantaixiu said to him again, "This is my usual residence, Your Majesty can stay here temporarily. I will come to make an appointment with you after my fellow clansmen have finished their preparations."

Jiang Tan went up to a room with others, opened the door and looked at it, and saw that the decoration inside was minimal, only a set of tables and chairs and a set of couch, all of which were simple and elegant.

"The bathing place is at the Baisha Sea outside the forest. It's cold now, and all the people like to bathe in warm water. Your Majesty is so quiet, I will order someone to fetch water for you and put it in the side room."

Jiang Tan thought for a while, "If there is cold water, I can do it."

He has never been here before, and now that he has time, he naturally wants to take a look around.

"My family is afraid of the cold. Once autumn comes, there are few people in the cold water." Tantaixiu understood in his heart, paused and said, "Then the meal..."

"According to your habits."

"I understand." Tantaixiu smiled slightly, "If your majesty is not hungry, please go to Baishahai with me."

Jiang Tan followed the people towards the outside of the forest.

"My king, your mother must be Ah Qing."

"En." Jiang Tan was not surprised that he could guess it.

Tan Taixiu nodded, "Ah Qing has always loved Xue very much. She once said that the first child was named Yan Xue. You really live up to your name with this appearance."

Jiang Tan thought, Yan Xue?

He thought, "It's a good name, but my name is Jiang Tan."

Tantaixiu was obviously choked.

"You...?" His light brown eyes were blinded in time and space, and it took him a while to recover, "I'm sorry, my king, I was rude."

"No problem." Jiang Tan looked at this man's drooping eyelashes, and always felt that he was secretly crying.

But suddenly remembered something.

"Tantaixiu, will you unlock the seal?"

"Give it a try." A little smile returned to the man's face.

The two of them traveled to Baishahai, and went to the most remote lake.

"Your Majesty, this is the cold water lake with the lowest temperature." Tantaixiu said, "I will survey the seal for you first."

After saying that, he detoured behind Jiangtan, took a tactic and hit him on the back to check, and then said "Huh", "It's the soul seal."

Jiang Tan only said, "Can you solve it?"

"It can be removed, but it cannot be eradicated." Tantaixiu pondered, "This seal has been integrated with your soul. Even if you remove it, there will still be traces in your soul."

"Are there any sequelae?"

"It has no influence on the king, but it has a greater influence on the soul master. After the seal is released, his soul will be backlashed. After that, his body and mind will be burned, and the fire in the soul will not be extinguished until death."

Tantaixiu also didn't understand.

"How could someone make such a mark? This is asking for guilt."

Jiang Tan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is this the master-slave mark?"

Tantaixiu laughed, "Of course it can't be counted. All the master-slave marks, the soul master will never suffer any harm. This is the seal of harmony. Once it is branded, even if the seal is opened, the mark will never be removed. Death disappears. But no matter where you go, the soul master can use these traces to find you."

Jiang Tan was silent for a long time, and asked, "What is the effect of this seal?"

"The use of different soul techniques may have different effects." Tantaixiu pondered, "but the most important function of this seal is to be able to see each other's memories."

Jiang Tan lowered his eyes and said, "How long will it take to untie it?"

"You need to take your blood as a guide, and it will be untied in about a quarter of an hour."

Jiang Tan secretly thought, although this seal is different from what Xi Mo said, but the existence of his own body is equivalent to adding a shackle, and it will be better to get rid of it sooner.

Immediately said firmly, "It's solved."

"Okay." Tantaixiu responded, "You...well, you shouldn't feel any pain when you remove the seal."

"Yes." Jiang Tan held out his wrist for blood collection.

Tantai Xiu congealed a hollow bone needle, slowly pressed it into the Jiangtan vein, and took a needle of blood, "If Your Majesty is ready, I will start."

Jiang Tan sits cross-legged and looks at himself, letting Tantaixiu do things on his shoulders.Soon, he saw that the jet-black lotus pattern in his body was full of blood and gradually turned purple.Then, as if being ignited by blood, it gradually burned into a golden brocade.In the end, there was only a little bit of cinnabar left, stubbornly perched on his soul, unwilling to dissipate completely.

Suddenly remembering the pain Xi Mo felt when he branded this mark with himself, he secretly thought that he might be experiencing the same pain at this moment.

Will you cry secretly again?

Jiang Tan suddenly felt sleepy, and really wanted to just lie down on the sand and take a nap first.

He always wanted to do it, so he fell headlong.

Once Tantai Xiufu withdrew his hand, seeing people passing by like this suddenly, he was a little startled for a while.But it doesn't hurt to check his nose, breath and pulse. He feels that he is sleepy.Do not bother.He only took off the fur that Jiang Tan gave him earlier in the morning, and put it back on him.

Jiang Tan was slightly curled up, tightly rolled from head to toe, leaving only half of his face to vent his anger.

When he closed his eyes, he saw Yan Qing's figure in countless pasts.

The flashes and shadows intersect endlessly, and then end at the little vegan when the world was first formed.She stood alone under the ancestral tree in the center of the pool, and talked with the person behind the tree.

Jiangtan stepped on the water waves and walked towards her with ripples.The moment he landed on Tanxin Island, Yan Qing looked back suddenly, and it was Cui Jiao's smile that was handed to him.

She smiled at him, and pulled the man behind the tree out.

"Cunbai, come and meet your sixth brother."

Pulled out, the young man was wearing a cloud shirt, with a bright smile, and he called obediently, "Sixth brother."

Jiang Tan was stunned, and he clasped his hands and said joyfully, "Aniang, I want to marry Sixth Brother, okay?"

Cui Jiao didn't speak, just touched the tops of their heads with tiptoes, then turned and left.

She made bloody footprints step by step, never looked back after leaving the island, and gradually sank into the water.

Jiang Tan wanted to save someone, but was locked in Xi Mo's arms, "Aniang agrees that we get married, why is Sixth Brother running away?"

As soon as he struggled, he was pinned down to the ground and grabbed his neck warmly.

Naturally struggling endlessly.The clothes were in pieces, but Qingyue's bell sounded from nowhere.Wrapped in the wind, one sound after another scattered in the ears.

Jiangtan wakes up in the distant singing and music drums, and the entire starry sky is reflected when you open your eyes.

The stars in the sky are as small as a sea of ​​smoke, and picked up like fireworks.Jiang Tan couldn't help being dazzled, he avoided it for a while, and turned to look at the star shadow rippling beside him.The water and the sky are shining, and I feel that I will be swallowed by the waves of the lake that hit the shore.

In a trance, he knelt up, dipped his hands into the cold water, and finally got the icy coldness that he couldn't get for a long time after falling into dreamland.

After rubbing his face with water, Jiang Tan felt much better. He lowered his arms again and thoughtfully took out the frozen stone pendant.

——Tantaixiu Jieyin did not use this thing.

He melted away the ice, and carefully inspected it, his heart was suddenly relieved, and his face gradually became congealed.

No wonder he couldn't find his soul.Peizhong's spirit deed, as a medium for soul printing, must have been exhausted long ago.

Therefore, the adornment has already failed, no matter how broken it is, it has nothing to do with him.

It was indeed an idea that was guided before.Jiang Tan thought, but now that the soul seal has been removed and the stone wearer is gone, even if Xi Mo knows where he is, as long as he takes more precautions, it will be difficult to pose a threat.

What's more, if this person dares to act recklessly again, he will definitely not spare his life, so how can he be allowed to act recklessly.

Thinking about it, he heard a bunch of footsteps grinding the gravel from far to near, and when he turned around, he saw Tantai Xiu.

"The king is awake."

Jiang Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and while refreezing the stone pendant into a lump of ice, he watched the person put the sand table beside him, pointing to the mulberry wine, loose rolls, smoked plums and cheese one by one.

"The tribe was very happy to hear that you came. I didn't explain that you were here, so they gathered at Wenshuipo to have fun."

Jiang Tan nodded, picked up the ladle and sniffed the mulberry wine, only to feel the strong smell of wine, and immediately wanted to put it back.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this is not wine, you won't get drunk if you drink it." Tantaixiu said, "Ah Qing also couldn't stand the wine at that time, but she told me that this is a secret that no one else should know. If I tell someone, she will kill me."

Jiang Tan shook the wooden ladle, "Are you familiar with... her?"

"Alan and I are considered to be grown up by her." Tantaixiu smiled slightly, "Although she treated us equally at that time, I still thought that if I could become the head of the clan in the future, I would be able to be just and obedient to her Married."

Jiang Tan thought for a while, "The Alan you mentioned is..."

"It's Ah Qing's younger brother." Tantaixiu said, "I was born almost at the same time as me."

After a short pause, stars sparkled in his eyes like the waves of the lake, "You know what happened later. Jiang Duo made a plan to take Alan away in order to force the former king to follow him. Ah Qing was ordered to stick to Xiyu when he was in danger, but Do not hear news of the return of your loved ones."

"Until the Nine Fields began to seal, Ah Qingfang realized the death of the king based on my veins. Later, he asked me to guard the ancient forest and cross the West Sea. After that, I never saw her again."

Jiang Tan had never heard of these things, so he couldn't help thinking that Luo Lan was the only Qianmu tribe member in the human world, and because he was Luo Sizhu's adopted son, he took his father's surname.If he is this Tantai Lan, then Jiang Shan's inexplicable obsession seems to be able to see the cause and effect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tan only took a sip of the mulberry wine, and found that the lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth did not even smell of wine.

He moistened his throat, picked up the loose roll and bit it down. Just as he was chewing until his mouth was scorched, Tantaixiu said, "When I passed Qilian, I heard an interesting rumor. It is said that their suzerain abolished the slavery order, The two clans of monsters coexisted side by side. At that time, I wondered which family's master was so courageous. After contacting like this, I knew that the suzerain was undoubtedly my king."

"Your Majesty, I know that your choice is the same as that of the King."

Jiang Tan had heard some of these old things from Jin Ning.

"Yes. I heard that the ancestor Xi was merged into Qianmu's spiritual veins to turn it into a curse, and use this curse to order the group of demons not to take human life easily, otherwise they may be in danger of becoming demons."

"Exactly." Tantaixiu said calmly, "in the ancient times, people were all called demon slaves, and their lives were as cheap as grass. The king looks at the world in the wind, and feels compassion when looking at it, so the curse will come down with the snowstorm." From now on, the instruction of "harming others and hurting oneself" has been passed down from generation to generation in every inch of spiritual veins, tossed with blood."

"Now, you have made the same decision. If the king has a lingering hope, he should appreciate it and benefit the world."

The pulse of Qianmu is from life to death, from the most holy to the evil, from the most good to the evil.

It can be life and death, human flesh and bones, or it can be turned into a magic spell to bring disasters.There is no way to solve it except to reverse the curse spirit vein and use the blood of this vein as a guide to eliminate the curse.

When Yan Xi cast the curse back then, if it wasn't because of his innate spiritual power, the monsters would have gathered and wiped him out, devoured him in pieces.

And Yan Xi also suffered backlash because of this curse. It can be said that his life was very short.

Since then, not killing people has gradually evolved into an instinct of the monster race.

However, the legacy of the first king is unknown to the demons and complainers.Such a feat has not been achieved by sacrificing one's life.
