The strange story of Huai'an Inn

In the world dominated by Dao Qi, people believe in many gods.They named the phenomena they couldn't understand, the terrifying and awe-inspiring forces of order that transcended cognition, molded statues of gods for them, burned incense, and hoped to be sheltered.

But what the real Dao God looks like, I am afraid that only a few sporadic alchemists who have really had spiritual contact with the Dao God can get a glimpse of it.But alchemists who have glimpsed the truth often become mentally disturbed because they cannot bear the truth, and cannot describe what they see to others.

Therefore, alchemists can only speculate based on the flow and changes of Dao Qi about what the Dao God looks like and where it exists.Maybe the Taoist gods already exist around everyone, maybe they are in the colors invisible to the naked eye and the sounds inaudible to the human ear, but some people say that the Taoist gods have left this world and went to other places that have not yet been built. The stars and the universe are gone.But they leave eggs born from their higher dimensional bodies on every world that has been created to function autonomously.When the balance of dao and filth is broken, these eggs will be hatched immediately, and the mighty dao qi erupting from them will purify all the filthy qi in a radius of hundreds of miles.

But the power of such sacred objects is too powerful, which is equivalent to returning everything to zero and starting again, so if they are triggered rashly when the foul smell is not strong enough, a phenomenon called "extreme ordering" will occur.

In order to produce living beings in the world, a delicate balance between Tao and filth is required.Even in the world ruled by Tao, filth is needed as a trigger force to generate life, otherwise all the tiniest particles will not have any reaction, but will stay in their respective positions perfectly and stably.Without derivation and development, nature cannot have life.

Therefore, when there is not enough filth to counteract the power emitted by the Taoist egg, this polarized phenomenon will be triggered, and it may be affected as small as hundreds of miles or roughly half of the Central Plains.All particles that are not perfect will absorb the missing parts from this power to achieve the most stable state, and the various circulations, blood flow, and organ operations in the body will stop.All living beings will gradually turn into hard diamonds, or into inert gas that will not flow or burn, floating in the void forever.

Therefore, before the appearance of human beings, the ancient people who worshiped the Taoist gods carefully hid all the eggs.Later, these ethnic groups gradually became extinct, and the whereabouts of the eggs were also lost in ancient memories, leaving only a few words in the handwritten inscriptions.

However, as the Xuanwumen of Baixiaomen, which specializes in overseas anecdotes, they have far more information than any other forces and organizations.Especially since the catastrophe 50 years ago, Mr. Xuanwu has been searching for a force that might resist the invasion of the evil god.By chance, he met the alien living in the mind of a host from the Far West ten years ago.

The extraterrestrial visitor claimed to be the Yisi people, from a race living in the future.They are eager for knowledge, and often use special technology to exchange their own consciousness with a race in a certain time and space in the past to collect folklore knowledge and documents of that time and space.They don't believe in any gods, but because there were Yisi people from the future mixed on this planet before the Taoist left, so this egg of the Taoist God has been preserved by them.

Mr. Xuanwu spent ten years gaining the trust of the alien from that day. As a friend, he found out all the secrets about the Taoist egg from this alien, including how to activate it, and then killed the Yisi people. Captured the sacred object in his hand.

When Xu Hanke contacted him on behalf of the current emperor, the first possible weapon he offered was the Xinglao clan crystal.In addition to the reason why these crystals are easier to control than the Taoist eggs, there are also some selfishness... Maybe he can take this opportunity to force Mr. Gou Chen out.

When that path failed, he revealed the more extreme and dangerous Taoist egg.

Originally, Xu Hanke planned to keep this egg at the last moment.Use it when the gates are already open and the filth is pouring down like a roaring sea.However, if the Book of Poorness, the Cub of the Mother Goddess, and the Drum of Chaos appear at the same time, it is very likely that enough filth will be produced to balance the Dao Qi contained in this egg, and the way to open the door will be cut off before the door is opened.It’s just that if you want to do this, you need to find a way to get Guan Chongliu, Zhu Helan and Sang Ya together, and the place where they gather must be desolate and remote enough to prevent the out-of-control of Dao Qi from causing extreme order and spreading to the surrounding villages civilian.

Is there any place more remote and desolate than the bottom of the sea?

This is a natural and clever plan, and Xu Hanke doesn't even need to do too much.He only needs to disclose some information to those officials in the capital who have been controlled by Sang Ya at the right time, and Sang Ya will complete the rest of the plan by himself.He will force Guan Zhongliu to go to Qiongji Island, and Zhu Helan will definitely follow.

And now, the time is at hand.

The power leaked from the Dao God's Egg shrouded the three of them, like a bubble floating in the vortex of foul air like a violent storm.

Around them, the scene became chaotic and blurred.The walls were destroyed by the magma gushing from Hydra's throat, and the zenith was torn by the majestic branches of the locust tree.Xiwei's Dao Qi shuttled through the thick dark tentacles of the statue of Cthulhu, and the two alchemists who cooperated perfectly were obviously trying to weave a net to trap the statue.

And above the main hall is a melee of tentacles invisible to the naked eye.Red, blue, black, coiled into a ball strangling each other.And the blood-stained thousand-person drum was still rumbling, and the sound wave became more and more distorted every time it spread outward.And as the sound of the drums intensified, ominous smoke of tiny fragments began to steam from the blue and red tentacles and the huge vines of the locust tree.It was as if their bodies were flying away layer by layer from the surface.

Chong Liu, Zhu Helan, and Chong Wu did not hold back any more, enduring the heavy mental and physical pressure caused by the sound of the drums, and pressed hard on the big witch who was surrounded by foul air.

Crow's sharp and piercing laughter intertwined with the sound of the drum, his body began to distort, his spine elongated, his skin and flesh cracked and stretched to reveal hard scales, and huge jointed limbs densely covered with barbs protruded from his ribs. Forced the three of them away.

At this moment, the spirits of Chongliu and Zhu Helan had a strange and harmonious connection, and the foul smell of blue and cinnabar red intertwined and merged, like a dance in another dimension.They can perceive all the perceptions of each other.Under the pressure of the drums, the filth of the two continued to strengthen each other, injecting each other's blood to repair the wounds caused by the power of all the great witches, and to a considerable extent suppressed the mental image of the drums on them.

Absolute trust, so that fear and confusion cannot easily cloud their minds.Chong Liu gradually felt that Sangya's grip on his spirit was loosening, and he felt that he was being gradually pulled towards Zhu Helan.

Guan Chongliu and Zhu Helan rushed to the big witch who had turned into a giant human-faced spider again.The venom capable of disintegrating and destroying the smallest atoms in the body spewed out from under each scale of the great witch, and splashed on their bodies, but it couldn't penetrate the protective layer formed by the mutual enhancement of the two of them.They no longer cared about protecting themselves, and persistently entangled the raven layer by layer, preventing him from crashing into the drum of thousands of people, preventing him from continuing to overflow the dark power of the God of Chaos.At that moment, the two like-minded people ignited hope that maybe they could win.

Maybe they can stop Raven's ritual.

On the ground, Mr. Xuanwu slowly took off his mask.

A majestic face full of vicissitudes, eyes filled with calmness and determination.He took out a prototype object the size of an egg from his arms.Its surface is extremely smooth, so smooth that it is almost unsteady in the hand.It has no color, but keeps reflecting any color around it, like an egg solidified by mercury.

But if you look carefully, you can see that under the mirror-like surface, there are many zigzag straight lines densely embedded, densely forming some kind of strange network.The light blue light slowly squirmed under those thin lines.

"Once I push it, if there is a slight error, we will dissipate together." Mr. Xuanwu said, "Have you thought about it?"

Xu Hanke and Liu Sheng looked at each other with complicated eyes, but finally nodded.

Whether it's right or wrong, they can't be sure.But Xu Hanke firmly believes that this world does not need any gods, nor any messengers...

He firmly believes that they do not need the rule of any higher power, and that all uncertain and uncontrollable things should be eliminated before they can be abused.Human nature is still unbelievable, let alone a monster that they can't understand at all?

Mr. Xuanwu held the Taoist egg in his palm, and traced along several lines with his other finger.He traced carefully, making no mistakes in every single stroke.That is the unique secret key of each Taoist egg, and once it is activated, all the power inside will be released.

They only have time to take shelter in the nearest place.

When he finished the last stroke, every line of the Taoist egg burst into a dazzling ice-blue light.The temperature of the surface drops rapidly, down to a temperature that burns the skin.At this time, Liu Sheng quickly took the Taoist egg, and fiercely coiled it into the air into an inseparable group of four figures... no, it was four monsters, and threw it over.

A blue meteor broke through the huge sea of ​​filth, flying like a deadly dao bomb.At that moment, Chong Liu could feel a sudden and frightening force approaching rapidly, but he had no time to get away from the entanglement with Crow.Zhu Helan let out a horrified cry from his throat.

At this time, Chong Wu suddenly stretched out his arms quickly, blooming like an incomparably magnificent blue lotus flower between Chong Liu and the bomb.

Chong Wu had no time to think about what he was doing, nor did he have any noble thoughts of self-sacrifice.He simply thought, don't let that thing hit Xiao Liu.

When the purest Dao Qi enveloped his filthy body, he didn't feel any pain.It's just that time passed very slowly at that moment.

He could hear Chong Liu screaming his name in despair, the name he had just gotten not long ago.He looked back to see if Liuhe and Zhu Helan were safe, but found that his eyes were gone.

His life was short, and most of it was spent in darkness, in his own day-to-day sorrow and hatred.But the days of the last month were the only thing he could remember at last.He opened his eyes wide and saw the sunrise, the warm sun shone on his face, Chong Liu looked at him and smiled beside him.

Then, everything stopped abruptly.
