After being picked up by Daxian

"Yes. So, are you willing to accept it?"

The snake man lowered his head slightly, under the shadow, he couldn't see his exact expression at this time.

But soon, he raised his head and his eyes were bright: "I am willing, no matter how much it costs."

"In that case, see you tomorrow."

After the man finished speaking, the snake man felt that his consciousness began to fall into chaos again, and he was sucked into the oil lamp again.

Before falling into complete chaos, among the shadows, watching that figure gradually drift away, showing a bit of loneliness and desolation.

The next day, the snake man felt a familiar sense of detachment.While the body gradually became lighter, the mind also regained clarity.

When I opened my eyes, I found that the person was standing in front of my eyes just like last night.Compared with yesterday, it was just that there was an extra crow in his hand.

The crow's wings have been broken, but it is only breathing.Dark blood trickled down the palm, but the man didn't care, he just said to the snake man, "Are you ready?"

Seeing the snake man nodding his head, the man closed his eyes and uttered words like a mantra.

He only felt the dark light flickering around him, and the snake man looked down, and at some point, that man had already drawn a formation around him.Blood-red magic lines have surfaced on the ground, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

He suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the crow, took out a sharp knife from his waist, and slashed at the crow's neck, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Little drops of blood splashed on the man's face and clothes, but he didn't care, just staring at the formation on the ground.

The splashed crow's blood followed the trajectory of the magic pattern, and a fierce flame ignited where the blood dripped, and the formation was instantly plunged into a sea of ​​flames.

The man bit his own fingertips, concentrated his energy on the dantian, forced out a drop of essence and blood from his body, and drew a strange symbol in the floating air.

With a push of his palm, the symbol formed by blood essence flew into the sea of ​​flames in an instant.In the raging fire, the symbol is like a red-hot iron block in the fire, revealing a red flame.

At the same time, the snake man also fell into a burst of severe pain.

If he still remembers the sense of touch when he was a human, then his current feeling is like being cut by a knife all over his body in a pot of extremely hot boiling water, tearing his flesh, muscles and bones.

Then it was as if someone had pasted other flesh on his body, and the red-hot iron had scalded the flesh until it stuck together and reassembled.

This repeated pain has been repeated without a break.

Under this kind of pain, the sense organs of the snake man seemed to be restructured, kinks and mixed together.

As if someone had picked and kneaded a piece of marinated meat, he fell into a trance until he lost consciousness.

When the snake man woke up again, he found that the surroundings were strange, and it was no longer the small dilapidated stove he was in before.

And that person was standing in front of him, as if waiting for him to wake up.

The previous pain was like a dream that didn't exist.

He was even more pleasantly surprised to find that he was really no longer confined to the Horcrux, and even condensed into an entity.

The real touch of the ground and the heaviness of the body made me feel extraordinarily novel.

Seeing the snake man fumbling here and there curiously and delightedly, the man laughed, and the snake man sat down obediently in fright.

The man was not angry, but said indifferently: "Although you have separated from the horcrux and have a physical body, the method of leaving the soul cannot completely separate the two of you, and the core of fusion is still in the horcrux. However, As long as the Horcrux absorbs enough resentful souls on time, you can move freely outside this oil lamp."

He suddenly walked in front of the snake man, squatted down slightly, and made the snake man shrink back subconsciously.

The man took off the copper-yellow mask on his face, and the snake saw the faint blood-red magic lines floating between his brows.

The snake man let him move in a daze, only to feel a chill on his face, and the man put the mask on his right face.

The man stared at the snake man's face for a long time, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up. "It suits you quite well."

Before the snake man could react, the man stood up and stretched out his hand to him.

"Although I helped you escape, you still have the freedom to choose. If you want, you can hold my hand. If you don't want to, you can just leave."

Like a ghost, the snake man felt that at that moment, he should grab the man's hand.

At the moment he caught it, he clearly saw the smile flashing across the man's eyes.

And after following the man, he never left the man's side again.

Following the man for nearly a hundred years, he watched that man gradually ascend to the supreme position in the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm gradually gained the upper hand in the Mortal Realm.

And that person is naturally Rong Ying.

However, he did not see real happiness and fulfillment in men.Even though he sat on the top seat in the demon world, that person's gaze always stayed on the man who was imprisoned in Lingquan.

In front of outsiders, Rong Ying is always calm and calm, not easy to show his emotions.

And when facing that person, he will show real emotions.

The man's every move obviously affected Rong Ying's emotional changes.The half-faced snake man saw it, but never dared to remind him.

Although, Rong Ying didn't seem to realize this, or, he refused to admit it...

"My lord, what do you have to do to get real satisfaction and happiness?"

It seemed to be a whisper, a very low and light voice.

In an instant, it was submerged in the sweeping wind, and it was no longer audible.

-

When Hengqing and Xuexiang rushed to the imperial capital, the sky above the imperial capital was already filled with gray.

The golden light that shrouded the imperial city also dimmed a lot, showing a decadent look of decline.

"Sure enough, I feel that there is nothing wrong. The aura of the imperial capital has declined to this point... What happened to the emperor?"

The lifeline of the imperial capital and the decline and prosperity of the weather are closely related to the incumbent emperor.

The sign of bad weather means that the emperor's life is about to end and the dynasty will change.

However, the emperor is in his prime, so how could he suddenly have such an ominous appearance?

"Looks like it's necessary to sneak into the palace." Xue Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes slightly darkened.

"I haven't seen the reigning ruler of the mortal world for a long time...I didn't expect that this time it was because of this reason."

He saw two golden talismans inlaid with white jade melt out of Xuejiang's palm, and threw one of them to Hengqing.

Hengqing hurriedly caught the golden talisman, only to hear Xue Jiang say: "This is a special golden talisman for entering and leaving the imperial palace. I have an appointment with the late emperor. If I see this talisman, I can freely enter and leave the imperial palace. It is a matter of urgency. Needed, I didn’t expect it to come in handy.”

The two of them landed near the city gate, restrained their breath, and made ordinary clothes.

Before they approached, the guards stationed at the city gate nearby stopped them: "Near the palace city, idlers are not allowed to approach, don't you know?"

As soon as the words fell, they saw the golden talisman shaking in Xuejiang's hand.

"Then, how about this golden talisman?"

"This is actually a golden talisman for the Queen... Please wait here, my lords, and I will inform you immediately."

The leading guard frowned and looked at the golden talisman carefully. After confirming that it was true, his expression became awed and panicked, and he hurriedly ran into the city gate.

After a while, the two saw him running back. "My lords, Your Majesty invites you all to discuss in the inner hall, please follow me."

The tall city gate was slowly opened, and followed the man into the palace city.

The cities in the imperial city are intertwined, and the palace city is no exception.There are countless covered bridges in the palace, and there are still many gates and tall walls in the city. From time to time, there are guards patrolling, and the guards are extremely strict.

After the last city gate is opened, as the field of vision widens, a high platform of white marble stones appears in front of you.

The base of the platform is carved with cloud-white nine-dragon patterns, and the granite is paved to form steps, slowly walking up the bridge deck.The flowing water under the bridge is shining, and the wooden boards suspended by iron chains are like a tiger under a water cage, dormant in darkness.

Looking around, yellow glazed tiles cover the top of the mountain with double eaves, and dragons, phoenixes, lions and other auspicious animals are decorated on the corners of the ridges and eaves.There are eighteen golden pillars carved with red lacquer and carved dragons on the support of the building, surrounded by white jade railings.

On top of its vermilion main entrance, there is a emerald green and blue golden gate plaque with a red border, and the three characters "Hall of Ronghe" are written on it, showing a solemn and luxurious atmosphere.

Before he entered the palace gate, he saw a man with the appearance of an eunuch in a blue robe with a gold pattern collar and a white dust whisk in his hand.

I saw him bowing slightly, humble and obedient: "The emperor invites two adults to come here, and the younger one will lead the two adults to the inner hall."

The two were led into the main hall of the hall. In the hall, there are wood carvings of auspicious dragons and golden patterns carved with cloud floating roofs, accompanied by candles and candles everywhere in the hall.

The vermilion velvet blanket leads straight to the center, and there is a golden silk upholstered throne in the middle. In front of it is a nanmu imperial case. Scrolls, inkstones, paper and pens are neatly stacked on the case. There is a small gold incense burner, which emits light sandalwood smoke.

A middle-aged man with a beautiful beard and a golden robe was sitting in it. He was the current emperor, Xue Yijin.

Although his temples are slightly grayed and the corners of his eyes are fine lines, one can still see his vigorous and handsome appearance when he was young.

After leading the two into the hall, the eunuch in blue quietly withdrew.As soon as they saw the emperor, their expressions immediately became dignified.

The golden dragon aura on the emperor's body has already faded and dimmed, showing a faint tendency to be annihilated.However, outsiders can't detect it from its appearance.

"Sure enough, the weather in the imperial capital has declined to this point, which has a lot to do with the weakening of the dragon's aura of the current emperor. However, how could the dragon's aura suddenly decline in such a short period of time?"

As soon as Hengqing Yinyu finished speaking, a deep male voice was heard.

"The first emperor once told me that there was a celestial lord Shuzun who came to the earthly palace to guide him in the maze and revive the dynasty. After that, the royal family continued to prosper and the people were happy and healthy."

"I have some advice from the immortals. The first emperor ordered that if you hold this jade-encrusted golden talisman, you will be released unconditionally from the palace and treated with dignity. Presumably the two must be immortals who descended from the heavens. To have this honor to meet the legendary immortal, I am very grateful to be able to receive the two of you.”

After saying that, the emperor got up slowly, walked quickly to the front of the two, bowed slightly, seeing the situation, he hurriedly helped him up.

"The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, and the dragon body is noble, so there is no need to be polite... But, has the emperor been ill recently?"

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes lit up even more, and he smiled helplessly.

"As expected of the two immortals, you can see it at a glance. Indeed, recently I have been feeling weak and weak, and I have lost my appetite. I have consulted with the imperial physicians, but none of them can tell the reason. Daily tonic, but it is getting more and more empty Quite...according to what the two immortals have seen, what kind of incurable disease did I suffer from?"
