Inverse harem male supporting bending system
Chapter 70 Stone Statue (1)
"What the hell is a male queen? Of course I don't want to be one." Li Jian rubbed her nose, "Do you think—"
"I think he should mention this to you soon." Du Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled, helping Li Jianman serve the wine.
"Wait until he brings it up. It's just..."
When Li Jian said this, she never expected that it would come true so quickly.Immediately, after hearing this, Li Jian only sighed slightly, "I promised him that I would be with him. But you did remind me. I should re-examine what capacity I will be with him."
Li Jian really didn't want to depend on Qi Xiu to live. Everyone knew his relationship with Qi Xiu now. Whether he was an official or a general, it was inconvenient. After all, he needed to avoid suspicion.But if he lives in the imperial palace like a harem concubine, he is not willing.
Li Jian still wanted to accompany Qi Xiu.Even though he felt unhappy in his heart and had some thoughts of escaping temporarily, he couldn't bear Qi Xiu to face all that alone after all.Fate is like an invisible knife, standing behind him and Qi Xiu.He can only accompany Qi Xiu forward, there is no way out.
However, Li Jian needs a relatively equal identity to face Qi Xiu.Although all the sects of cultivating immortals have attached themselves to Guangguo, Qing Qiong, as the head of the cultivating sects, has formed its own branch in the practice of magic, and still retains its independent side.Therefore, if Li Jianruo regained his status as the head of Muyun Peak, it might not be a good choice.
Li Jian looked at Du Rui. "Brother, let me think about it."
"Yeah." Du Rui nodded, "The head of the Muyun Peak has always been reserved for you by the senior brother."
"Thank you. I respect you." Li Jian raised the wine cup and toasted Du Rui.
After all, he was a fan of the authorities, and now that he talked with Du Rui, Li Jian's mood became clearer.
Just at this time, Zixia also came.Besides Zi Xia, another person also came, and it was actually Yan Qiwei, the master of Cang Yu Temple.
Yan Qiwei's face was still the same, but what surprised Li Jian was that his head was covered with gray hair, and he didn't know what he had experienced in the past hundred years.
Through the window, Li Jian could just see Yan Qiwei and Zixia walking side by side.Although Yan Qiwei used to say that his behavior made Li Jian feel a little pedantic, but he seemed to be quite conniving towards the Leng sisters, his disciples, with a kind side and a confident and proud side between his brows.No matter what, when Yan Qiwei came out, he was always in high spirits.
But at this moment, not only did he have white hair, which seemed to be whiter than the snow on the ground, his eyes were quite gloomy, and his whole person looked a bit decadent.
"Brother Sect Leader, Sect Leader Yan!" Du Rui raised a glass of wine and greeted them, "Come in for a drink."
"Haha, green ant's new fermented wine, small red clay stove. It's snowing late, so I can drink a cup. Or you two will enjoy it!" Zixia smiled, entered the room with Yan Qiwei and sat down, and looked at Li Jian said, "You said that you need to discuss with us about the artifact. It just so happened that Yan Qiwei came this time, so I brought him along."
Li Jian thought it was okay, Yan Qiwei liked to collect utensils with various functions. It was he who manipulated the golden lock at Hanshan Temple in Jingzhou a hundred years ago to help those people regain their time and become adults again.Now, with his help in counseling the artifact, it might be more effective with less effort.
If so, Li Jian stepped forward to pack up the drinking utensils, and spread the map on the table.
"The earth ring determines the topography, the four seasons, and the weather—" Yan Qiwei squinted his eyes after seeing all this, and then said, "Let's not be too limited. Wood and stone, golden locks, water jade, Li Jian, you've seen all of these Yes, right?"
"Yes." Li Jian said.
"I think it's just a certain form of them." Yan Qiwei said, "I originally thought it was strange that the five ancient artifacts made up this world, and their power is astonishing, but how could the artifact itself be so small? The artifacts we saw, Maybe not what they look like."
"Could it be..." Li Jian frowned.
"Perhaps the ridges, mountain walls, and even the entire Lanque City connected by these wells...is the Earth Ring itself?" Yan Qiwei said.
Hearing this, Li Jian was surprised, but also felt cold all over. "If Fu Ji finds out about this... If the Xihua demons want to gather the five great artifacts, they will probably destroy the entire city of Lanque..."
"This matter really should not be careless." Zixia looked at Li Jian seriously, "What did the Holy Emperor say, and how do you plan to deal with it?"
"I'll go back and discuss with him right now," Li Jian said.
Seeing Li Jian's expression, Zi Xia raised her eyebrows and asked, "You didn't come to drink with Du Rui for no reason, and quarreled with Qi Xiu?"
Li Jian: "It's not a quarrel. It's just..."
Zixia glanced at Li Jian with the eyes of "you are not too young, we old people need to worry about falling in love", and finally said: "Forget it. Let's discuss this matter together. If Xi Hua really makes a comeback, this matter should not be careless."
"Okay." Li Jian nodded, "I'll go back to the imperial palace and find someone who knows how to use the earth ring to confirm. By the way, there is no last artifact in this world, which is the fire bracelet. What is its function? "
Yan Qiwei looked at Li Jian and said, "It decides everyone's fate."
If so, Li Jian will understand.The five artifacts worked together to create the human world, human beings, and even all life. The golden lock created and controlled time, the wood and stone created and controlled space, the water jade controlled yin and yang, soul and life, the earth ring controlled the environment, weather and four seasons, and the fire bracelet remained. , determines everyone's fate.
If the five great artifacts gather together and fall into Xihua's hands, it is hard to imagine how the human world will be devastated.
This evening, after discussing the important matters, the group chatted for a while, and then dispersed.
Li Jian was about to leave from Muyun Peak when he suddenly received a sound-transmitting butterfly, which was actually sent by Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu told Li Jian that he came to Qingqiong Mountain to wait for him.
Li Jian frowned slightly, but Yu Jian went to the main peak first, and then went down Qingqiong Mountain.
Qi Xiu looked up at the foot of the mountain—the ten thousand-high stone steps soared into the sky. Although it was night, the entire stone steps were extremely brightly illuminated by the moonlight because the stone steps were covered with snow.
The stone steps are covered with white snow and moonlight, going up all the way, as if the height is high enough to touch the moon in the sky.And the full moon appeared at the end of the high stone steps.
Qi Xiu watched for a long time, and there was a person in white clothes, who appeared in front of the moon, and then went down with the sword, passing one stone step after another, and finally reached in front of him, like a piece of moonlight falling from the full moon.
At that moment, Qi Xiu suddenly had a feeling that Li Jian was right in front of him, just like the moonlight, but he never seemed to be able to truly possess it.It was as if he had poured a glass of wine and pointed the wine at the full moon, and there was a moon in the glass.He thought he owned the moon, so he raised his glass and drank the wine.But the moon was not swallowed by him, but disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Axiu, why are you here?" Li Jian landed, put away his lonely sword, and looked at Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu looked at him, with a faint smile on his lips, and said, "Master, I'll take you home."
For some reason, upon hearing these words, Li Jian felt a little sour in his heart.
Qi Xiu stretched out his hand towards him, and said again: "Master, I still remember that I asked you in Hanshan Temple a hundred years ago, what is your wish. You said, you just want to have a home. The Imperial Palace is the largest and safest place in the world. , The most luxurious home. Are you willing to go back with me and make it your home?"
Li Jian looked at him, was stunned for a while, and finally walked up to Qi Xiu.Li Jian stretched out his hand, instead of holding Qi Xiu's, he raised his hand to help him straighten his temples, and then said, "Why, can't I have a drink with senior brother?"
Qi Xiu was silent and did not speak.
"Are you worried that I will stay in Qingqiong?" Li Jian asked again.
Qi Xiu didn't answer this sentence, but took out a gift and handed it to Li Jian.
Li Jian looked over and saw two rings in his palm.Not to mention the sloppy ring a hundred years ago, these two rings are much more exquisite. They are made of a material that looks like jade but not jade. Not to mention crystal clear, there are several hairs hidden inside. It was woven with extremely delicate techniques and put into a ring made of jade.On the surface of the ring, there are also many beautiful lines engraved. These lines have been traced by gold threads, and some pictures and words are faintly engraved on them, but they are too small and the light is too dim at the moment, so Li Jian can't see clearly.
Qi Xiu said again: "Master, I secretly took your hair while you were asleep, put it in this ring with mine, and made these two rings. The craftsman of Guangguo is very powerful, even the hair is covered with hair. Engraved."
Speaking of this, it seemed that Li Jian didn't express anything, Qi Xiu asked: "Master, don't you want to ask what is engraved on it?"
"What's engraved on it?" Li Jian looked at him.
Qi Xiu looked into Li Jian's eyes, and said word by word: "Tie hair as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection. Master, are you willing to marry me?"
Li Jian paused for a moment, then took the ring from Qi Xiu's hand.He looked at Qi Xiu and finally smiled. "Marry you, then what?"
"I want to canonize you as—"
When Qi Xiu said this, Li Jian stretched out her index finger to touch his lips, but it seemed that she didn't want him to continue talking.Li Jian looked at him, and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Don't talk about 'male queen', I think it would be ridiculous if I had such a title."
Qi Xiu has been with Li Jian for a long time, so he understands the word "Lei".He looked at Li Jian and sighed lightly. "Then what do you want?"
"I accept the ring. This is my promise to you. You let Huang Xuelin write such an article, which is already known to the world. This is your promise to me. Ah Xiu, I don't need these false names." Li Jian Look at him and say.
"But—" Qi Xiu frowned.
"Ah Xiu, I don't think I mean... I was born to like men. Just because I'm with you doesn't mean that I like men. I don't like men, but I want to like you." Li Jian looked at He, "So I think, in essence, I still want to act like a gentleman. I don't want to be attached to you, so I don't want to have a so-called 'empress' relationship with you. Can you understand me when I say that?"
"Yeah." Qi Xiu raised his hand and grabbed Li Jian's wrist, "I did this... because I heard some rumors before, and I was afraid of wronging you."
"You're just too thoughtful." Li Jian looked at him, "I don't need you to cater to me. If I'm not satisfied, I'll tell you."
"En." Qi Xiu nodded again.
"I know that in the past hundred years, you haven't stopped resting, and you have lived in political confrontation every day. But I hope that when you face me, you won't be like this. I think part of the reason you like me is that we get along, Both feel relaxed and can trust each other, right?" Li Jian asked him.
Qi Xiu took Li Jian's hand and walked forward, stepping into the boundless snowy night ahead, heaved a sigh. "The years when I was with you in Qingqiong were indeed the happiest days of my life."
"That's it. I know, because of what happened a hundred years ago, you are afraid of losing. But Ah Xiu, I said, I won't leave when I come back. You don't need to worry about gain and loss."
After Li Jian finished speaking, she tacitly followed Qi Xiu along the snow-covered path at the foot of Qingqiong Mountain.Qi Xiu also held Li Jian's hand even tighter.
Qi Xiu actually understood what Li Jian said.Why did he want to worry about gains and losses, and why was he willing to suspect so easily that Li Jian would leave him at any time.In the final analysis, he is like this because of Emperor Xuande's behavior of changing his life for him.Emperor Xuande's words before his death often echoed in his ears, making him feel restless every time he thought about it.
But he didn't want to tell Li Jian about it.Because he doesn't want to repeat what happened a hundred years ago.He thought about it, and he was afraid that he would rather be like Emperor Xuande said, if he would really lose his reputation and die, he would rather die in Li Jian's hands.
the next day.Lanque City, the Imperial Palace.
Early in the morning, Qi Xiu received a letter from Qing Qiong, and went to Yangming Palace to receive Zi Xia, Yan Qiwei and Du Rui.
Naturally, Li Jian was also present, and called Lin Zhao to ask him to confirm the effect of the earth ring.
Seeing that many fairy families were present, and everyone guessed what the earth ring was, Lin Zhao finally admitted that the entire city of Lanque was the earth ring.
"How did your mother know about this?" Li Jian asked.
"My mother guessed it. She also inadvertently discovered that the water drawn from the well had strange ripples. And she said different words, and the ripples would change. At that time, she guessed that the water could understand people." Speaking." Lin Zhao said, "Mother spent many, many years writing down these ripples, and gradually understood its language, and only then did I know that it could answer questions about the weather."
"Later... my mother went to look up a lot of ancient books and found out that it might be related to the earth ring. So actually... well, I was bragging. I didn't own the earth ring." Lin Zhao coughed lightly, "Mother just The language of the ripples of the water was passed on to me and Jiang Xueyi."
Everyone lamented that the child was too unreasonable, and asked the hidden guards to escort him back to Ganquan Palace.
"So, Lanque City is the Earth Ring. This is actually Lin Zhao's mother's inference. Specifically, how big the Earth Ring is, and how much land covers Lanque, needs to be carefully investigated." Li Jian thought.
Qi Xiu nodded. "I will immediately arrange for the hidden guards to investigate."
If so, after explaining what the dark guards were going to do, Qi Xiu and the others discussed how Xihua might launch a surprise attack on Lan Que, how the various sects of cultivators would unite their troops to deal with the Xihua demon, and the fifth artifact, the fire bracelet. May be where and so on.
Li Jian naturally participated in the discussion.However, Zhao Cheng stopped by halfway and said that Mu Ye wanted to see him.
Li Jian thought about it, but went to the sky prison and met Mu Ye.
A moment later, the sky prison.
Mu Ye looked at Li Jian: "I know Qi Xiu won't believe me, so I can only find you."
Li Jian frowned lightly. "What do you want from me?" Shan: and: three: タ.
"May I ask you first... How is Guixiang?" Mu Ye clenched his fists, "Is she... dead?"
"You know everything?" Li Jian looked at him.
Mu Ye opened his palm, and there was a kit there. "Guixiang doesn't know how to spell, so I found someone to make a voice-transmitting Gu. The mother Gu is with me, and the child Gu is with her. The two Gu insects can convey words. But...but my mother Gu has not been there for the past few days. Make any noise and die today..."
Hearing this, Li Jian frowned, but said: "I want to tell you the truth. Fuji designed me to think that she was possessing Guixiang to kill someone. I shot... I didn't expect to kill Guixiang."
After Li Jian finished speaking, Mu Ye was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse. "I don't blame you. Guixiang won't live long. I guess Fuji did this for two reasons. One is to frame you, and the other is to separate us and let me do things for her completely. Li Jian, are you still willing to believe me? ?"
"There is no proof. What can you do to make me believe you?" Li Jian looked at him, "Not to mention whether you are trustworthy, but whether the Soul Eater has been cleaned from your body, we will I don't know. What if you are controlled by Fu Ji again?"
After hearing this, Mu Ye just said: "Forget it, whether you believe me or not, I want to say that ever since Fuji gave me the Soul Eater technique, I can always feel her. But recently, she is getting farther and farther away from me. , Now I can't perceive her. Although she is a spirit body, the spirit body also has dreams. I tried to find her through dreams, but I couldn't find her. She doesn't exist in the human world. If she doesn't exist in the human world, I can only It was in the Demon Realm. Before... I heard her say that she does not advocate infighting in the Demon Realm, but wants to unify the Demon Realm. I think she will deal with Zhong Licheng."
Li Jian thought about it, and finally went to Xuanjue Pavilion, took the demon-binding rope to bind Mu Ye's hands, preventing him from using spells, and then took him to Yangming Palace.
In Yangming Palace, Qi Xiu was quite surprised to see that Li Jian brought Mu Ye out.
Li Jian didn't have time to explain, and only looked at Qi Xiu: "Zhongli City may be in danger."
Qi Xiu heard that, after all, he took out something under the table, and Li Jian recognized it, it was the Shenkun Mirror.Come to think of it, for so many years, Zhong Licheng and Qi Xiu have passed the news through the Shenkun mirror, separated by the world of humans and demons.
This time, Qi Xiu did see some unusual scenes. ——In the temple, Zhongli City was not there.On his desk, there are only words that he seems to have practiced in a random pen, with the three words "Fushishan" written on it.
Qi Xiu slid the Shenkun mirror and went outside the temple, only then did he see that many attendants were fleeing.But they don't seem to know where to flee.Horror was written all over their faces.There are also some villains who take advantage of the chaos and steal everything that can be stolen from the temple, and if they can make a fortune, it is a fortune.
"what happened?"
——The person who said this was Yan Qiwei.When he saw Qi Xiu's expression, there was a hint of worry on his face.
"Master. I have to go to the Demon Realm." Qi Xiu said.
"I'll go with you." Li Jian said.
"No. It's too dangerous—" Qi Xiu frowned.
Yan Qiwei took a step forward. "I'm going too."
Zixia and Du Rui smiled, and said almost at the same time: "I'm going too."
"And I—!" Mu Ye stepped forward, "Trust me once!"
Half an hour ago, the devil world, the temple.
Zhong Licheng was practicing calligraphy and painting quite leisurely. It was still his subordinate Moga who entered the temple, knelt down on one knee, and said, "My lord, the nine-storied pagoda has moved again, and it seems that the seal of the God of War has also loosened."
"What? I'm going to investigate right now." Zhong Licheng frowned slightly, and headed towards the nine-storied pagoda.
Flying down Fenghuan Mountain and crossing the black desert, the nine-storied pagoda appeared in front of Zhongli City.
Zhong Licheng entered the bottom of the temple and looked at the seal of the movement.On the seal, the seven stars flickered, they were indeed not as bright as before, and it seemed that they were loose.
Zhong Licheng's expression became serious, his hands formed a magic seal, and he concentrated on consuming magic energy to strengthen the seal.
Strengthening the seal of the ancient demon god consumes a lot of magic breath, and requires the caster's full concentration to succeed.
Therefore, Zhonglicheng devoted himself to strengthening the seal, and he didn't seem to notice when Moga came under the nine-storied pagoda and stood behind him.
By the time Zhong Licheng reacted, it was already too late.Moga raised his hand and inserted the Demon-eating Stone into his heart from behind.
Zhong Licheng spat out a mouthful of blood and looked back at him. "You—! Is it you—?! Fuji didn't escape by herself, you let her out!"
"Your Majesty, I only figured it out at this time. I'm afraid it's too late? Your Majesty's magic breath belongs to me! Hahaha..." Moga laughed, raised his hand and slapped Zhong Licheng.
"You think you can kill me like this?" Zhong Licheng immediately slapped back.
Moga dodged the palm, and felt a little nervous for a moment, because he had followed Zhong Licheng for a hundred years, so he naturally knew how powerful he was.Therefore, at this time, it is good for Moga to complete the task Fu Ji gave him, and not to fight with Zhong Licheng, and immediately use the teleportation technique to escape to the ground.
Zhong Licheng also drew a teleportation array and came to the ground in an instant.
After arriving outside the nine-storied pagoda, Zhonglicheng chased Moga a few steps, but he could hardly stand still, and spit out several mouthfuls of blood again and again.He could feel that the magic breath in his body was losing a lot.
Seeing this, Moga finally dared to take a step forward and sneered. "Your Majesty, you are old and have begun to behave like a woman. I am from Xihua, you dared to let me be your subordinate, you should have expected today!"
"Okay! You also retreat for me!"
After saying this, a strong wind blew from nowhere, and Moga was blown down on the black desert all at once.
In an instant, a translucent spirit floated over. "Moga, if you say such things again, I will execute you together. How can there be any difference? We demons should unite as one."
"Yes, Lord Fuji! I know my mistake!" Moga got up from the ground and quickly knelt down.
Fuji pursed her lips and stretched her waist. "Oh, it's still suitable for me to stay here, I don't even need to rely on my body...hehe..."
Fuji laughed, and looked at Zhonglicheng: "How does it feel when the magic breath is gone? Zhonglicheng, I did this to you, not to kill you, but to let you know your mistakes. If you know your mistakes, correct them. Hua is united to fight against the worlds of humans and gods, and I will spare your life. I will ask Moga to return the magic breath to you, and you are still a general of my demon world!"
"The magic breath is gone? Oh, I've tried this taste a long time ago." Zhong Licheng stood up, changed his embarrassed and terrified look, and smiled mockingly.
Fuji seemed to sense something was wrong, "...What do you mean?"
"Master Fuji, you are an ancient god of war and a powerful spirit body. I really can't kill you. I can only seal you. I have already removed most of the magic energy from my body and stored it in another place, waiting for me Nephew to get it. Moga is stupid, you are sealed for 5000 years, and you are also stupid. Oh, or, you fought based on strength back then, so your strategy was a little bit worse. I came to investigate that day At that time, I realized that your seal was artificially released. I have already suspected that Moga has already set a secret spell here, and I have been with Moga until now, waiting to lure you out—"
Fu Ji didn't wait for Zhong Licheng to finish speaking, she was ready to escape, but it was too late.
Zhong Licheng yelled "Break", and a white mist immediately rose in a radius of a hundred miles.
This is almost the most powerful sealing technique created by the Dongli Clan, called "Congealing the Air".
110 Eight years ago, in Taohuaxi Valley, Zhonglicheng's younger sister, Mu Xiangyi, also used this technique to trap the souls of five hundred villagers in Taohuaxi Valley.The power of this kind of seal is that it belongs to the time seal, which can trap the soul in one day forever, without being affected by changes in the external space.
Of course, the caster will pay the price of his soul and become a stone statue.The caster of the curse can set up an independent method of breaking the curse, and only those who know the method of breaking the curse can break the stone statue, otherwise, no one can break the stone statue and then break the seal.
For example, Mu Xiangyi's stone statue stood in Taohuaxi Valley for 18 years, and it has been stable.But they couldn't break the stone statue, get the soul inside, and then suck it.
It wasn't until Mu Xiangyi's spirit body told Qi Xiu how to break the curse that Qi Xiu was able to smash the stone statue and solve everything.
More than a hundred years ago, when Zhong Licheng faced Mu Xiangyi's stone statue, he never thought that one day he would die in the same way as his sister.
But now, only this sealing method is the safest.He will never let Fuji harm Dongli and the world.What's more, he has included the entire nine-storied pagoda into the scope of the seal, and that movement can no longer be disrupted.This method can be said to be once and for all.
Afterwards, in front of the nine-storied pagoda, on the black desert, there was a continuous white mist, and the entrance of the mist was the stone statue of Zhongli City, the second generation demon king of Dongli No.40.
The Human World, Lanque City, and the Imperial Palace.
Qi Xiu set up a teleportation formation in Yangming Palace, intending to bring the group of people to the Demon Realm.
Qi Xiu frowned and thought about it—when did Zhong Licheng practice calligraphy?Could it be that the words "Fushishan" he wrote were specially reserved for himself?
Therefore, Qi Xiu took a group of people and did not go directly to the Demon Realm, but first went to the Empty Realm where humans and demons meet.
In the realm of emptiness, there is Mount Ukiyo.
When he arrived here, Li Jian also remembered where it was - 30 years ago, when he was at the bottom of Wuliang Mountain on the edge of the God Realm, Hua Qingshu told him that Fushi Mountain hid his previous cultivation.
Since Li Jian set foot on Fushi Mountain, he felt a familiar air of supernatural purity.He walked forward almost intuitively, and came to a stone wall on the top of the mountain.
What surprised Li Jian was that there seemed to be drawers on these stone walls.And Li Jian found a drawer with his name written on it.
Li Jian stretched out his hand and pulled out the drawer hewn from the stone wall, and a familiar aura immediately surrounded his whole body.In the previous life, Li Jian's body was no longer suitable for cultivating immortals, and he had 100 years of cultivation. Now that he has obtained this cultivation, Li Jian feels that his cultivation has improved a bit.
While Li Jian was feeling happy, she found that Qi Xiu beside her was not quite right.
He looked at Qi Xiu, and found that his arms were trembling a little.
"What's wrong?" Li Jian asked with a frown.
"Master...look..." Qi Xiu raised his hand, but pointed to a drawer.
Li Jian looked there, and on that drawer, there were actually six words "Zhong Licheng presents Qi Xiu" written on it.
At this time, Yan Qiwei, Zixia and Du Rui also arrived.
Yan Qiwei obviously also saw these six characters, and couldn't help asking: "What does this mean?"
Du Rui explained: "The realm of emptiness is the boundary between humans and demons. In the beginning, no matter whether it is a human or a demon who comes here, if they forcefully leave, they will be stripped of their cultivation base or magic breath. Their respective cultivation bases and magic breath will be locked in the place. On this mountain wall of Fushi Mountain, the name will be automatically engraved. Originally, whoever’s cultivation base or demonic breath can only be taken away by whoever. Until later, the demon world occupied this place and found a way to enter and exit freely. Looking at it now Come on, they also found a way to use Fushishan as a place to store the magic breath and pass it on to others."
"Keep Zhongli City as Dongli Demon Lord, why would--" Li Jian frowned.
"He had an accident... He knew that he would have an accident, so he left the magic breath to me in advance..." Qi Xiu clenched his fists, and then with trembling arms, he leaned into the drawer, as if he was feeling something.
Then he withdrew his palm, knelt down on one knee, and bowed in the direction of the drawer, as if he was bowing to Zhong Licheng.
"Axiu—" Li Jian couldn't help calling him.
"I can feel that this is most of his magic breath. He only kept a small part of his magic breath... to carry out his plan." Qi Xiu said, finally got up, stretched out his hand and opened the drawer.
Then, a powerful magic breath swept his body.Qi Xiu's power has been further improved to an almost unprecedented level in the Demon Realm.
Qi Xiu closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and opened them again.He no longer hesitated, drew the teleportation array, and led everyone to the temple first.
There are still people in the temple who are constantly fleeing.As if they sensed something terrible.
Qi Xiu grabbed a person halfway up Fenghuan Mountain and asked him, "What happened?"
"A few people from Xihua came here...although...although they were killed by the temple guards. But they said...they said that the demon king is dead! The demon king is dead...Master Fuji is reborn...we must Run away!" the man tremblingly said.
"Do you know where the Demon Venerable is going?" Qi Xiu grabbed his clothes tightly.
"No... I don't know..." the man replied.
"Shut up! You servants, the Demon Lord treats you badly on weekdays? The Demon Lord is only away for a short time, and you actually listened to Xihua's slander and panicked like this!"
There was such a voice coming from the front.
Qi Xiu looked over and recognized that person, that was the general who was stationed at Fenghuan Mountain and guarding the temple, his name was Cen Wei.
Cen Wei took a step forward and looked at Qi Xiu: "Holy Emperor, I'm going to deal with those Xihua demons, and I didn't manage these attendants well for a while. They are timid and copy what others say, causing such chaos. It's ridiculous."
"It doesn't matter, do you know where the Demon Lord went?" Qi Xiu asked with a frown.
Cen Wei replied: "It should be in the direction of the Black Desert. I really don't know the exact location."
"Thank you. Let's look in that direction." Qi Xiu immediately stood up with his sword and faced everyone, "Follow me!"
After finishing speaking, Qi Xiu's figure sank into the sky above the sunless demon world.
When Li Jian immediately summoned Gu Jian to follow him, unexpectedly, Yan Qiwei was faster than him and caught up with Qi Xiu first.
Seeing this, Zi Xia sighed softly, Yu Jian followed, Du Rui supported Mu Ye Yu Jian to the end.
After traveling for about five hundred miles, the town gradually disappeared.Instead, there is an endless black desert.The desert, the black sand, and the lonely moon render this place particularly quiet and treacherous.The environment is too scary, it will make people feel that if they walk alone in the desert, they will be eaten by a monster that suddenly pops out at some point.
The desert seems to stretch for thousands of miles, with no end in sight at a glance, but a tall tower can be vaguely seen in the distance.For some reason, only the pointed top of the tower is exposed, and the tower below seems to be hidden in an inexplicable mist.
At this moment, Qi Xiu led everyone towards the tower.
And when he was about to get close to the tower, Li Jian found that there was a thick fog here.It turned out that it was this thick fog that covered the tower.
And this situation made Li Jian feel too familiar.
It wasn't until he followed Qi Xiu to the entrance of the dense fog that he discovered that there was a stone statue here.And the person on the stone statue is Zhong Licheng.
The Black Desert is not all sand, but some mountains. Most of the mountains are hidden under the black sand, and only a few mountain walls are exposed.
At this moment, the stone statue is located between two mountain walls, the mountain wall is about the height of a person, and behind the mountain wall is the area of the thick fog.
Such a situation was never similar to the scene in Taohuaxi Valley.
"What's going on with this tower?" Du Rui stepped forward and couldn't help asking.
Qi Xiu was silent for a moment, and said: "This is the nine-storied pagoda, the place where the two traitors, Fu Ji and Yue Zhang, were sealed 5000 years ago."
As Qi Xiu said, he landed on the desert, put away his long sword, walked towards the stone statue step by step, looked at him without blinking, and then said: "I think Zhongli City designed to seal Fuji here Don't walk into this thick fog. Although Fu Ji may only live in yesterday, her ability has not weakened. As for Zhong Licheng... His soul is also trapped in this day, neither dead nor born. He Forever... can only live in this day."
At the end of the sentence, Qi Xiu's ending trembled unavoidably.
Li Jian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder in time, but he could only comfort him a little.
"She...Fu Ji is she trapped? I want to go in! I want to go in and kill her!" It was Mu Ye who spoke, and he tried his best to break free from the bondage rope, as if he wanted to rush into the thick fog regardless of everything.
"Back off!" Li Jian yelled at him, "Qi Xiu has said that this sealing technique is different from others, it won't seal her abilities, it can only trap her in this day forever. This kind of sealing is safer, Because she can't escape time! But her ability is still there, so she can't act rashly!"
"I..." Mu Ye was excited, but he couldn't do anything for the time being.
Li Jian looked away, but heard a sound coming from Yan Qiwei's direction.
Li Jian glanced sideways, looked at him, and saw Yan Qiwei knelt down towards the stone statue of Zhongli City.
I have only seen young people bowing down to elders, only disciples bowing down to their masters, never the other way around.What Yan Qiwei is doing now is completely reversed.
Yan Qiwei not only knelt down, but also kowtowed to Zhong Licheng.His voice was hoarse, deep, and somewhat hoarse.He said: "Xiaocheng... I am sorry for you."
Hearing these words, Li Jian's heart ached.
Li Jian knew that Yan Qiwei was also present when Dongli united with the human world to attack Xihua during the 50-year war.He saw Zhong Licheng's position, and saw that he and Qi Xiu went through life and death against the Xihua Demon several times.
Yan Qiwei's views on the demon world changed along with most people in the human world. —That is, not all demons are born evil.
Perhaps it was also at that time that Yan Qiwei realized that he had misunderstood Zhong Licheng for so many years.
He has been guilty for many years, and his hair has turned gray, but before Zhong Licheng was alive, he was unable to say "I'm sorry" to him face to face.
Afterwards, Yan Qiwei wanted to stay alone in the Black Desert for a while, and the others returned to Fenghuan Mountain without much persuasion.
Qi Xiu sent a letter to the imperial palace, asking Su Yang to help manage many matters.Qi Xiu stayed in the temple for the time being, and he had to help Zhonglicheng deal with the remaining matters and settle down the people in Dongli before he could leave with peace of mind.
That night, Qi Xiu finally fell asleep and dreamed of Zhongli City.
Qi Xiu dreamed that he was back in the black desert, he lost his way and didn't know where to go.Then, he saw someone drinking.It's Zhongli City.
Qi Xiu immediately ran towards him and shouted, "Uncle!"
"Uncle?" Under the moonlight, the tear mole at the corner of Zhonglicheng's eyes was astonishingly beautiful. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Qi Xiu, "I have waited for 100 years, but I didn't hear this uncle. Finally
"I think he should mention this to you soon." Du Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled, helping Li Jianman serve the wine.
"Wait until he brings it up. It's just..."
When Li Jian said this, she never expected that it would come true so quickly.Immediately, after hearing this, Li Jian only sighed slightly, "I promised him that I would be with him. But you did remind me. I should re-examine what capacity I will be with him."
Li Jian really didn't want to depend on Qi Xiu to live. Everyone knew his relationship with Qi Xiu now. Whether he was an official or a general, it was inconvenient. After all, he needed to avoid suspicion.But if he lives in the imperial palace like a harem concubine, he is not willing.
Li Jian still wanted to accompany Qi Xiu.Even though he felt unhappy in his heart and had some thoughts of escaping temporarily, he couldn't bear Qi Xiu to face all that alone after all.Fate is like an invisible knife, standing behind him and Qi Xiu.He can only accompany Qi Xiu forward, there is no way out.
However, Li Jian needs a relatively equal identity to face Qi Xiu.Although all the sects of cultivating immortals have attached themselves to Guangguo, Qing Qiong, as the head of the cultivating sects, has formed its own branch in the practice of magic, and still retains its independent side.Therefore, if Li Jianruo regained his status as the head of Muyun Peak, it might not be a good choice.
Li Jian looked at Du Rui. "Brother, let me think about it."
"Yeah." Du Rui nodded, "The head of the Muyun Peak has always been reserved for you by the senior brother."
"Thank you. I respect you." Li Jian raised the wine cup and toasted Du Rui.
After all, he was a fan of the authorities, and now that he talked with Du Rui, Li Jian's mood became clearer.
Just at this time, Zixia also came.Besides Zi Xia, another person also came, and it was actually Yan Qiwei, the master of Cang Yu Temple.
Yan Qiwei's face was still the same, but what surprised Li Jian was that his head was covered with gray hair, and he didn't know what he had experienced in the past hundred years.
Through the window, Li Jian could just see Yan Qiwei and Zixia walking side by side.Although Yan Qiwei used to say that his behavior made Li Jian feel a little pedantic, but he seemed to be quite conniving towards the Leng sisters, his disciples, with a kind side and a confident and proud side between his brows.No matter what, when Yan Qiwei came out, he was always in high spirits.
But at this moment, not only did he have white hair, which seemed to be whiter than the snow on the ground, his eyes were quite gloomy, and his whole person looked a bit decadent.
"Brother Sect Leader, Sect Leader Yan!" Du Rui raised a glass of wine and greeted them, "Come in for a drink."
"Haha, green ant's new fermented wine, small red clay stove. It's snowing late, so I can drink a cup. Or you two will enjoy it!" Zixia smiled, entered the room with Yan Qiwei and sat down, and looked at Li Jian said, "You said that you need to discuss with us about the artifact. It just so happened that Yan Qiwei came this time, so I brought him along."
Li Jian thought it was okay, Yan Qiwei liked to collect utensils with various functions. It was he who manipulated the golden lock at Hanshan Temple in Jingzhou a hundred years ago to help those people regain their time and become adults again.Now, with his help in counseling the artifact, it might be more effective with less effort.
If so, Li Jian stepped forward to pack up the drinking utensils, and spread the map on the table.
"The earth ring determines the topography, the four seasons, and the weather—" Yan Qiwei squinted his eyes after seeing all this, and then said, "Let's not be too limited. Wood and stone, golden locks, water jade, Li Jian, you've seen all of these Yes, right?"
"Yes." Li Jian said.
"I think it's just a certain form of them." Yan Qiwei said, "I originally thought it was strange that the five ancient artifacts made up this world, and their power is astonishing, but how could the artifact itself be so small? The artifacts we saw, Maybe not what they look like."
"Could it be..." Li Jian frowned.
"Perhaps the ridges, mountain walls, and even the entire Lanque City connected by these wells...is the Earth Ring itself?" Yan Qiwei said.
Hearing this, Li Jian was surprised, but also felt cold all over. "If Fu Ji finds out about this... If the Xihua demons want to gather the five great artifacts, they will probably destroy the entire city of Lanque..."
"This matter really should not be careless." Zixia looked at Li Jian seriously, "What did the Holy Emperor say, and how do you plan to deal with it?"
"I'll go back and discuss with him right now," Li Jian said.
Seeing Li Jian's expression, Zi Xia raised her eyebrows and asked, "You didn't come to drink with Du Rui for no reason, and quarreled with Qi Xiu?"
Li Jian: "It's not a quarrel. It's just..."
Zixia glanced at Li Jian with the eyes of "you are not too young, we old people need to worry about falling in love", and finally said: "Forget it. Let's discuss this matter together. If Xi Hua really makes a comeback, this matter should not be careless."
"Okay." Li Jian nodded, "I'll go back to the imperial palace and find someone who knows how to use the earth ring to confirm. By the way, there is no last artifact in this world, which is the fire bracelet. What is its function? "
Yan Qiwei looked at Li Jian and said, "It decides everyone's fate."
If so, Li Jian will understand.The five artifacts worked together to create the human world, human beings, and even all life. The golden lock created and controlled time, the wood and stone created and controlled space, the water jade controlled yin and yang, soul and life, the earth ring controlled the environment, weather and four seasons, and the fire bracelet remained. , determines everyone's fate.
If the five great artifacts gather together and fall into Xihua's hands, it is hard to imagine how the human world will be devastated.
This evening, after discussing the important matters, the group chatted for a while, and then dispersed.
Li Jian was about to leave from Muyun Peak when he suddenly received a sound-transmitting butterfly, which was actually sent by Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu told Li Jian that he came to Qingqiong Mountain to wait for him.
Li Jian frowned slightly, but Yu Jian went to the main peak first, and then went down Qingqiong Mountain.
Qi Xiu looked up at the foot of the mountain—the ten thousand-high stone steps soared into the sky. Although it was night, the entire stone steps were extremely brightly illuminated by the moonlight because the stone steps were covered with snow.
The stone steps are covered with white snow and moonlight, going up all the way, as if the height is high enough to touch the moon in the sky.And the full moon appeared at the end of the high stone steps.
Qi Xiu watched for a long time, and there was a person in white clothes, who appeared in front of the moon, and then went down with the sword, passing one stone step after another, and finally reached in front of him, like a piece of moonlight falling from the full moon.
At that moment, Qi Xiu suddenly had a feeling that Li Jian was right in front of him, just like the moonlight, but he never seemed to be able to truly possess it.It was as if he had poured a glass of wine and pointed the wine at the full moon, and there was a moon in the glass.He thought he owned the moon, so he raised his glass and drank the wine.But the moon was not swallowed by him, but disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Axiu, why are you here?" Li Jian landed, put away his lonely sword, and looked at Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu looked at him, with a faint smile on his lips, and said, "Master, I'll take you home."
For some reason, upon hearing these words, Li Jian felt a little sour in his heart.
Qi Xiu stretched out his hand towards him, and said again: "Master, I still remember that I asked you in Hanshan Temple a hundred years ago, what is your wish. You said, you just want to have a home. The Imperial Palace is the largest and safest place in the world. , The most luxurious home. Are you willing to go back with me and make it your home?"
Li Jian looked at him, was stunned for a while, and finally walked up to Qi Xiu.Li Jian stretched out his hand, instead of holding Qi Xiu's, he raised his hand to help him straighten his temples, and then said, "Why, can't I have a drink with senior brother?"
Qi Xiu was silent and did not speak.
"Are you worried that I will stay in Qingqiong?" Li Jian asked again.
Qi Xiu didn't answer this sentence, but took out a gift and handed it to Li Jian.
Li Jian looked over and saw two rings in his palm.Not to mention the sloppy ring a hundred years ago, these two rings are much more exquisite. They are made of a material that looks like jade but not jade. Not to mention crystal clear, there are several hairs hidden inside. It was woven with extremely delicate techniques and put into a ring made of jade.On the surface of the ring, there are also many beautiful lines engraved. These lines have been traced by gold threads, and some pictures and words are faintly engraved on them, but they are too small and the light is too dim at the moment, so Li Jian can't see clearly.
Qi Xiu said again: "Master, I secretly took your hair while you were asleep, put it in this ring with mine, and made these two rings. The craftsman of Guangguo is very powerful, even the hair is covered with hair. Engraved."
Speaking of this, it seemed that Li Jian didn't express anything, Qi Xiu asked: "Master, don't you want to ask what is engraved on it?"
"What's engraved on it?" Li Jian looked at him.
Qi Xiu looked into Li Jian's eyes, and said word by word: "Tie hair as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection. Master, are you willing to marry me?"
Li Jian paused for a moment, then took the ring from Qi Xiu's hand.He looked at Qi Xiu and finally smiled. "Marry you, then what?"
"I want to canonize you as—"
When Qi Xiu said this, Li Jian stretched out her index finger to touch his lips, but it seemed that she didn't want him to continue talking.Li Jian looked at him, and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Don't talk about 'male queen', I think it would be ridiculous if I had such a title."
Qi Xiu has been with Li Jian for a long time, so he understands the word "Lei".He looked at Li Jian and sighed lightly. "Then what do you want?"
"I accept the ring. This is my promise to you. You let Huang Xuelin write such an article, which is already known to the world. This is your promise to me. Ah Xiu, I don't need these false names." Li Jian Look at him and say.
"But—" Qi Xiu frowned.
"Ah Xiu, I don't think I mean... I was born to like men. Just because I'm with you doesn't mean that I like men. I don't like men, but I want to like you." Li Jian looked at He, "So I think, in essence, I still want to act like a gentleman. I don't want to be attached to you, so I don't want to have a so-called 'empress' relationship with you. Can you understand me when I say that?"
"Yeah." Qi Xiu raised his hand and grabbed Li Jian's wrist, "I did this... because I heard some rumors before, and I was afraid of wronging you."
"You're just too thoughtful." Li Jian looked at him, "I don't need you to cater to me. If I'm not satisfied, I'll tell you."
"En." Qi Xiu nodded again.
"I know that in the past hundred years, you haven't stopped resting, and you have lived in political confrontation every day. But I hope that when you face me, you won't be like this. I think part of the reason you like me is that we get along, Both feel relaxed and can trust each other, right?" Li Jian asked him.
Qi Xiu took Li Jian's hand and walked forward, stepping into the boundless snowy night ahead, heaved a sigh. "The years when I was with you in Qingqiong were indeed the happiest days of my life."
"That's it. I know, because of what happened a hundred years ago, you are afraid of losing. But Ah Xiu, I said, I won't leave when I come back. You don't need to worry about gain and loss."
After Li Jian finished speaking, she tacitly followed Qi Xiu along the snow-covered path at the foot of Qingqiong Mountain.Qi Xiu also held Li Jian's hand even tighter.
Qi Xiu actually understood what Li Jian said.Why did he want to worry about gains and losses, and why was he willing to suspect so easily that Li Jian would leave him at any time.In the final analysis, he is like this because of Emperor Xuande's behavior of changing his life for him.Emperor Xuande's words before his death often echoed in his ears, making him feel restless every time he thought about it.
But he didn't want to tell Li Jian about it.Because he doesn't want to repeat what happened a hundred years ago.He thought about it, and he was afraid that he would rather be like Emperor Xuande said, if he would really lose his reputation and die, he would rather die in Li Jian's hands.
the next day.Lanque City, the Imperial Palace.
Early in the morning, Qi Xiu received a letter from Qing Qiong, and went to Yangming Palace to receive Zi Xia, Yan Qiwei and Du Rui.
Naturally, Li Jian was also present, and called Lin Zhao to ask him to confirm the effect of the earth ring.
Seeing that many fairy families were present, and everyone guessed what the earth ring was, Lin Zhao finally admitted that the entire city of Lanque was the earth ring.
"How did your mother know about this?" Li Jian asked.
"My mother guessed it. She also inadvertently discovered that the water drawn from the well had strange ripples. And she said different words, and the ripples would change. At that time, she guessed that the water could understand people." Speaking." Lin Zhao said, "Mother spent many, many years writing down these ripples, and gradually understood its language, and only then did I know that it could answer questions about the weather."
"Later... my mother went to look up a lot of ancient books and found out that it might be related to the earth ring. So actually... well, I was bragging. I didn't own the earth ring." Lin Zhao coughed lightly, "Mother just The language of the ripples of the water was passed on to me and Jiang Xueyi."
Everyone lamented that the child was too unreasonable, and asked the hidden guards to escort him back to Ganquan Palace.
"So, Lanque City is the Earth Ring. This is actually Lin Zhao's mother's inference. Specifically, how big the Earth Ring is, and how much land covers Lanque, needs to be carefully investigated." Li Jian thought.
Qi Xiu nodded. "I will immediately arrange for the hidden guards to investigate."
If so, after explaining what the dark guards were going to do, Qi Xiu and the others discussed how Xihua might launch a surprise attack on Lan Que, how the various sects of cultivators would unite their troops to deal with the Xihua demon, and the fifth artifact, the fire bracelet. May be where and so on.
Li Jian naturally participated in the discussion.However, Zhao Cheng stopped by halfway and said that Mu Ye wanted to see him.
Li Jian thought about it, but went to the sky prison and met Mu Ye.
A moment later, the sky prison.
Mu Ye looked at Li Jian: "I know Qi Xiu won't believe me, so I can only find you."
Li Jian frowned lightly. "What do you want from me?" Shan: and: three: タ.
"May I ask you first... How is Guixiang?" Mu Ye clenched his fists, "Is she... dead?"
"You know everything?" Li Jian looked at him.
Mu Ye opened his palm, and there was a kit there. "Guixiang doesn't know how to spell, so I found someone to make a voice-transmitting Gu. The mother Gu is with me, and the child Gu is with her. The two Gu insects can convey words. But...but my mother Gu has not been there for the past few days. Make any noise and die today..."
Hearing this, Li Jian frowned, but said: "I want to tell you the truth. Fuji designed me to think that she was possessing Guixiang to kill someone. I shot... I didn't expect to kill Guixiang."
After Li Jian finished speaking, Mu Ye was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse. "I don't blame you. Guixiang won't live long. I guess Fuji did this for two reasons. One is to frame you, and the other is to separate us and let me do things for her completely. Li Jian, are you still willing to believe me? ?"
"There is no proof. What can you do to make me believe you?" Li Jian looked at him, "Not to mention whether you are trustworthy, but whether the Soul Eater has been cleaned from your body, we will I don't know. What if you are controlled by Fu Ji again?"
After hearing this, Mu Ye just said: "Forget it, whether you believe me or not, I want to say that ever since Fuji gave me the Soul Eater technique, I can always feel her. But recently, she is getting farther and farther away from me. , Now I can't perceive her. Although she is a spirit body, the spirit body also has dreams. I tried to find her through dreams, but I couldn't find her. She doesn't exist in the human world. If she doesn't exist in the human world, I can only It was in the Demon Realm. Before... I heard her say that she does not advocate infighting in the Demon Realm, but wants to unify the Demon Realm. I think she will deal with Zhong Licheng."
Li Jian thought about it, and finally went to Xuanjue Pavilion, took the demon-binding rope to bind Mu Ye's hands, preventing him from using spells, and then took him to Yangming Palace.
In Yangming Palace, Qi Xiu was quite surprised to see that Li Jian brought Mu Ye out.
Li Jian didn't have time to explain, and only looked at Qi Xiu: "Zhongli City may be in danger."
Qi Xiu heard that, after all, he took out something under the table, and Li Jian recognized it, it was the Shenkun Mirror.Come to think of it, for so many years, Zhong Licheng and Qi Xiu have passed the news through the Shenkun mirror, separated by the world of humans and demons.
This time, Qi Xiu did see some unusual scenes. ——In the temple, Zhongli City was not there.On his desk, there are only words that he seems to have practiced in a random pen, with the three words "Fushishan" written on it.
Qi Xiu slid the Shenkun mirror and went outside the temple, only then did he see that many attendants were fleeing.But they don't seem to know where to flee.Horror was written all over their faces.There are also some villains who take advantage of the chaos and steal everything that can be stolen from the temple, and if they can make a fortune, it is a fortune.
"what happened?"
——The person who said this was Yan Qiwei.When he saw Qi Xiu's expression, there was a hint of worry on his face.
"Master. I have to go to the Demon Realm." Qi Xiu said.
"I'll go with you." Li Jian said.
"No. It's too dangerous—" Qi Xiu frowned.
Yan Qiwei took a step forward. "I'm going too."
Zixia and Du Rui smiled, and said almost at the same time: "I'm going too."
"And I—!" Mu Ye stepped forward, "Trust me once!"
Half an hour ago, the devil world, the temple.
Zhong Licheng was practicing calligraphy and painting quite leisurely. It was still his subordinate Moga who entered the temple, knelt down on one knee, and said, "My lord, the nine-storied pagoda has moved again, and it seems that the seal of the God of War has also loosened."
"What? I'm going to investigate right now." Zhong Licheng frowned slightly, and headed towards the nine-storied pagoda.
Flying down Fenghuan Mountain and crossing the black desert, the nine-storied pagoda appeared in front of Zhongli City.
Zhong Licheng entered the bottom of the temple and looked at the seal of the movement.On the seal, the seven stars flickered, they were indeed not as bright as before, and it seemed that they were loose.
Zhong Licheng's expression became serious, his hands formed a magic seal, and he concentrated on consuming magic energy to strengthen the seal.
Strengthening the seal of the ancient demon god consumes a lot of magic breath, and requires the caster's full concentration to succeed.
Therefore, Zhonglicheng devoted himself to strengthening the seal, and he didn't seem to notice when Moga came under the nine-storied pagoda and stood behind him.
By the time Zhong Licheng reacted, it was already too late.Moga raised his hand and inserted the Demon-eating Stone into his heart from behind.
Zhong Licheng spat out a mouthful of blood and looked back at him. "You—! Is it you—?! Fuji didn't escape by herself, you let her out!"
"Your Majesty, I only figured it out at this time. I'm afraid it's too late? Your Majesty's magic breath belongs to me! Hahaha..." Moga laughed, raised his hand and slapped Zhong Licheng.
"You think you can kill me like this?" Zhong Licheng immediately slapped back.
Moga dodged the palm, and felt a little nervous for a moment, because he had followed Zhong Licheng for a hundred years, so he naturally knew how powerful he was.Therefore, at this time, it is good for Moga to complete the task Fu Ji gave him, and not to fight with Zhong Licheng, and immediately use the teleportation technique to escape to the ground.
Zhong Licheng also drew a teleportation array and came to the ground in an instant.
After arriving outside the nine-storied pagoda, Zhonglicheng chased Moga a few steps, but he could hardly stand still, and spit out several mouthfuls of blood again and again.He could feel that the magic breath in his body was losing a lot.
Seeing this, Moga finally dared to take a step forward and sneered. "Your Majesty, you are old and have begun to behave like a woman. I am from Xihua, you dared to let me be your subordinate, you should have expected today!"
"Okay! You also retreat for me!"
After saying this, a strong wind blew from nowhere, and Moga was blown down on the black desert all at once.
In an instant, a translucent spirit floated over. "Moga, if you say such things again, I will execute you together. How can there be any difference? We demons should unite as one."
"Yes, Lord Fuji! I know my mistake!" Moga got up from the ground and quickly knelt down.
Fuji pursed her lips and stretched her waist. "Oh, it's still suitable for me to stay here, I don't even need to rely on my body...hehe..."
Fuji laughed, and looked at Zhonglicheng: "How does it feel when the magic breath is gone? Zhonglicheng, I did this to you, not to kill you, but to let you know your mistakes. If you know your mistakes, correct them. Hua is united to fight against the worlds of humans and gods, and I will spare your life. I will ask Moga to return the magic breath to you, and you are still a general of my demon world!"
"The magic breath is gone? Oh, I've tried this taste a long time ago." Zhong Licheng stood up, changed his embarrassed and terrified look, and smiled mockingly.
Fuji seemed to sense something was wrong, "...What do you mean?"
"Master Fuji, you are an ancient god of war and a powerful spirit body. I really can't kill you. I can only seal you. I have already removed most of the magic energy from my body and stored it in another place, waiting for me Nephew to get it. Moga is stupid, you are sealed for 5000 years, and you are also stupid. Oh, or, you fought based on strength back then, so your strategy was a little bit worse. I came to investigate that day At that time, I realized that your seal was artificially released. I have already suspected that Moga has already set a secret spell here, and I have been with Moga until now, waiting to lure you out—"
Fu Ji didn't wait for Zhong Licheng to finish speaking, she was ready to escape, but it was too late.
Zhong Licheng yelled "Break", and a white mist immediately rose in a radius of a hundred miles.
This is almost the most powerful sealing technique created by the Dongli Clan, called "Congealing the Air".
110 Eight years ago, in Taohuaxi Valley, Zhonglicheng's younger sister, Mu Xiangyi, also used this technique to trap the souls of five hundred villagers in Taohuaxi Valley.The power of this kind of seal is that it belongs to the time seal, which can trap the soul in one day forever, without being affected by changes in the external space.
Of course, the caster will pay the price of his soul and become a stone statue.The caster of the curse can set up an independent method of breaking the curse, and only those who know the method of breaking the curse can break the stone statue, otherwise, no one can break the stone statue and then break the seal.
For example, Mu Xiangyi's stone statue stood in Taohuaxi Valley for 18 years, and it has been stable.But they couldn't break the stone statue, get the soul inside, and then suck it.
It wasn't until Mu Xiangyi's spirit body told Qi Xiu how to break the curse that Qi Xiu was able to smash the stone statue and solve everything.
More than a hundred years ago, when Zhong Licheng faced Mu Xiangyi's stone statue, he never thought that one day he would die in the same way as his sister.
But now, only this sealing method is the safest.He will never let Fuji harm Dongli and the world.What's more, he has included the entire nine-storied pagoda into the scope of the seal, and that movement can no longer be disrupted.This method can be said to be once and for all.
Afterwards, in front of the nine-storied pagoda, on the black desert, there was a continuous white mist, and the entrance of the mist was the stone statue of Zhongli City, the second generation demon king of Dongli No.40.
The Human World, Lanque City, and the Imperial Palace.
Qi Xiu set up a teleportation formation in Yangming Palace, intending to bring the group of people to the Demon Realm.
Qi Xiu frowned and thought about it—when did Zhong Licheng practice calligraphy?Could it be that the words "Fushishan" he wrote were specially reserved for himself?
Therefore, Qi Xiu took a group of people and did not go directly to the Demon Realm, but first went to the Empty Realm where humans and demons meet.
In the realm of emptiness, there is Mount Ukiyo.
When he arrived here, Li Jian also remembered where it was - 30 years ago, when he was at the bottom of Wuliang Mountain on the edge of the God Realm, Hua Qingshu told him that Fushi Mountain hid his previous cultivation.
Since Li Jian set foot on Fushi Mountain, he felt a familiar air of supernatural purity.He walked forward almost intuitively, and came to a stone wall on the top of the mountain.
What surprised Li Jian was that there seemed to be drawers on these stone walls.And Li Jian found a drawer with his name written on it.
Li Jian stretched out his hand and pulled out the drawer hewn from the stone wall, and a familiar aura immediately surrounded his whole body.In the previous life, Li Jian's body was no longer suitable for cultivating immortals, and he had 100 years of cultivation. Now that he has obtained this cultivation, Li Jian feels that his cultivation has improved a bit.
While Li Jian was feeling happy, she found that Qi Xiu beside her was not quite right.
He looked at Qi Xiu, and found that his arms were trembling a little.
"What's wrong?" Li Jian asked with a frown.
"Master...look..." Qi Xiu raised his hand, but pointed to a drawer.
Li Jian looked there, and on that drawer, there were actually six words "Zhong Licheng presents Qi Xiu" written on it.
At this time, Yan Qiwei, Zixia and Du Rui also arrived.
Yan Qiwei obviously also saw these six characters, and couldn't help asking: "What does this mean?"
Du Rui explained: "The realm of emptiness is the boundary between humans and demons. In the beginning, no matter whether it is a human or a demon who comes here, if they forcefully leave, they will be stripped of their cultivation base or magic breath. Their respective cultivation bases and magic breath will be locked in the place. On this mountain wall of Fushi Mountain, the name will be automatically engraved. Originally, whoever’s cultivation base or demonic breath can only be taken away by whoever. Until later, the demon world occupied this place and found a way to enter and exit freely. Looking at it now Come on, they also found a way to use Fushishan as a place to store the magic breath and pass it on to others."
"Keep Zhongli City as Dongli Demon Lord, why would--" Li Jian frowned.
"He had an accident... He knew that he would have an accident, so he left the magic breath to me in advance..." Qi Xiu clenched his fists, and then with trembling arms, he leaned into the drawer, as if he was feeling something.
Then he withdrew his palm, knelt down on one knee, and bowed in the direction of the drawer, as if he was bowing to Zhong Licheng.
"Axiu—" Li Jian couldn't help calling him.
"I can feel that this is most of his magic breath. He only kept a small part of his magic breath... to carry out his plan." Qi Xiu said, finally got up, stretched out his hand and opened the drawer.
Then, a powerful magic breath swept his body.Qi Xiu's power has been further improved to an almost unprecedented level in the Demon Realm.
Qi Xiu closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and opened them again.He no longer hesitated, drew the teleportation array, and led everyone to the temple first.
There are still people in the temple who are constantly fleeing.As if they sensed something terrible.
Qi Xiu grabbed a person halfway up Fenghuan Mountain and asked him, "What happened?"
"A few people from Xihua came here...although...although they were killed by the temple guards. But they said...they said that the demon king is dead! The demon king is dead...Master Fuji is reborn...we must Run away!" the man tremblingly said.
"Do you know where the Demon Venerable is going?" Qi Xiu grabbed his clothes tightly.
"No... I don't know..." the man replied.
"Shut up! You servants, the Demon Lord treats you badly on weekdays? The Demon Lord is only away for a short time, and you actually listened to Xihua's slander and panicked like this!"
There was such a voice coming from the front.
Qi Xiu looked over and recognized that person, that was the general who was stationed at Fenghuan Mountain and guarding the temple, his name was Cen Wei.
Cen Wei took a step forward and looked at Qi Xiu: "Holy Emperor, I'm going to deal with those Xihua demons, and I didn't manage these attendants well for a while. They are timid and copy what others say, causing such chaos. It's ridiculous."
"It doesn't matter, do you know where the Demon Lord went?" Qi Xiu asked with a frown.
Cen Wei replied: "It should be in the direction of the Black Desert. I really don't know the exact location."
"Thank you. Let's look in that direction." Qi Xiu immediately stood up with his sword and faced everyone, "Follow me!"
After finishing speaking, Qi Xiu's figure sank into the sky above the sunless demon world.
When Li Jian immediately summoned Gu Jian to follow him, unexpectedly, Yan Qiwei was faster than him and caught up with Qi Xiu first.
Seeing this, Zi Xia sighed softly, Yu Jian followed, Du Rui supported Mu Ye Yu Jian to the end.
After traveling for about five hundred miles, the town gradually disappeared.Instead, there is an endless black desert.The desert, the black sand, and the lonely moon render this place particularly quiet and treacherous.The environment is too scary, it will make people feel that if they walk alone in the desert, they will be eaten by a monster that suddenly pops out at some point.
The desert seems to stretch for thousands of miles, with no end in sight at a glance, but a tall tower can be vaguely seen in the distance.For some reason, only the pointed top of the tower is exposed, and the tower below seems to be hidden in an inexplicable mist.
At this moment, Qi Xiu led everyone towards the tower.
And when he was about to get close to the tower, Li Jian found that there was a thick fog here.It turned out that it was this thick fog that covered the tower.
And this situation made Li Jian feel too familiar.
It wasn't until he followed Qi Xiu to the entrance of the dense fog that he discovered that there was a stone statue here.And the person on the stone statue is Zhong Licheng.
The Black Desert is not all sand, but some mountains. Most of the mountains are hidden under the black sand, and only a few mountain walls are exposed.
At this moment, the stone statue is located between two mountain walls, the mountain wall is about the height of a person, and behind the mountain wall is the area of the thick fog.
Such a situation was never similar to the scene in Taohuaxi Valley.
"What's going on with this tower?" Du Rui stepped forward and couldn't help asking.
Qi Xiu was silent for a moment, and said: "This is the nine-storied pagoda, the place where the two traitors, Fu Ji and Yue Zhang, were sealed 5000 years ago."
As Qi Xiu said, he landed on the desert, put away his long sword, walked towards the stone statue step by step, looked at him without blinking, and then said: "I think Zhongli City designed to seal Fuji here Don't walk into this thick fog. Although Fu Ji may only live in yesterday, her ability has not weakened. As for Zhong Licheng... His soul is also trapped in this day, neither dead nor born. He Forever... can only live in this day."
At the end of the sentence, Qi Xiu's ending trembled unavoidably.
Li Jian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder in time, but he could only comfort him a little.
"She...Fu Ji is she trapped? I want to go in! I want to go in and kill her!" It was Mu Ye who spoke, and he tried his best to break free from the bondage rope, as if he wanted to rush into the thick fog regardless of everything.
"Back off!" Li Jian yelled at him, "Qi Xiu has said that this sealing technique is different from others, it won't seal her abilities, it can only trap her in this day forever. This kind of sealing is safer, Because she can't escape time! But her ability is still there, so she can't act rashly!"
"I..." Mu Ye was excited, but he couldn't do anything for the time being.
Li Jian looked away, but heard a sound coming from Yan Qiwei's direction.
Li Jian glanced sideways, looked at him, and saw Yan Qiwei knelt down towards the stone statue of Zhongli City.
I have only seen young people bowing down to elders, only disciples bowing down to their masters, never the other way around.What Yan Qiwei is doing now is completely reversed.
Yan Qiwei not only knelt down, but also kowtowed to Zhong Licheng.His voice was hoarse, deep, and somewhat hoarse.He said: "Xiaocheng... I am sorry for you."
Hearing these words, Li Jian's heart ached.
Li Jian knew that Yan Qiwei was also present when Dongli united with the human world to attack Xihua during the 50-year war.He saw Zhong Licheng's position, and saw that he and Qi Xiu went through life and death against the Xihua Demon several times.
Yan Qiwei's views on the demon world changed along with most people in the human world. —That is, not all demons are born evil.
Perhaps it was also at that time that Yan Qiwei realized that he had misunderstood Zhong Licheng for so many years.
He has been guilty for many years, and his hair has turned gray, but before Zhong Licheng was alive, he was unable to say "I'm sorry" to him face to face.
Afterwards, Yan Qiwei wanted to stay alone in the Black Desert for a while, and the others returned to Fenghuan Mountain without much persuasion.
Qi Xiu sent a letter to the imperial palace, asking Su Yang to help manage many matters.Qi Xiu stayed in the temple for the time being, and he had to help Zhonglicheng deal with the remaining matters and settle down the people in Dongli before he could leave with peace of mind.
That night, Qi Xiu finally fell asleep and dreamed of Zhongli City.
Qi Xiu dreamed that he was back in the black desert, he lost his way and didn't know where to go.Then, he saw someone drinking.It's Zhongli City.
Qi Xiu immediately ran towards him and shouted, "Uncle!"
"Uncle?" Under the moonlight, the tear mole at the corner of Zhonglicheng's eyes was astonishingly beautiful. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Qi Xiu, "I have waited for 100 years, but I didn't hear this uncle. Finally
