me and my monster neighbor

The Wanyao Palace, which means "surpassing all demons", is located in the extreme north. It is said that in front of the gate of the main hall, there was originally a rocky mountain, but it was trampled into a flat river by the pilgrims from all directions.

Xu Lale and his party made an emergency landing in the dense forest bordering Pingchuan, with lush vegetation and lush trees, suitable for hiding.

Xu Lai and Chu Chu divided their work: "I'll go into Wanyao Hall in a while, and you and the big and small stone spirits have to stay outside."

Since Xu Lala left Zhongnan Cave, he raised his son and never left Chuchu or so, but this trip can only be faced by himself.

There are only two outcomes for Xu Lai to enter Wanyao Palace:

When I met Aldai, I was unlucky and killed;

Avoid Alde and get away with it.

The four demon spirits all promised that as long as Aldai hadn't woken up, even if he met the Qilin Emperor who was ranked third among the three emperors, he could escape safely.

Even if Chuchu went in with him, the ending of their encounter with Aldai would not change, but "die one" became "dead pair".Xu Lala didn't do this kind of buy-one-get-one-free business, so he ignored Chuchu's objection and even coaxed and tricked Chuchu to stay.

Xu Lala said: "You have to stay, you have to be good. During the few days I'm not here, if you get impatient waiting here, you can go anywhere except the Wanyao Hall in front of you. But if you play for fun, you must remember to protect the big and small stone spirits."

At the beginning, I still didn't follow.

Xu Lala didn't have time to worry about his nervousness at all, he just coaxed Chuchu: "How about this, when I come out, I will accompany you to the city that never sleeps... demolish the city gate?"

Hearing this, Chu Chu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised a pair of dark eyes to look at Xu Lai, and asked shyly, "The city gate is demolished...is it going to be used as a bed board?"

"..."

Xu Lala choked, feeling that the words were hot. Although Chu Chu didn't speak bluntly enough, his sparkling eyes had already revealed all his thoughts.What Chu Chu meant was that the day Xu Lae accompanied him to tear down the gate of the city that never sleeps, it was equivalent to Xu Lae agreeing to the marriage.

Xu Lala grabbed the strap of his schoolbag, his back was hurt by the hard dragon-slaying knife and demon-slaying sword, Xu Lala gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said, "Also... okay."

When Chuchu heard the words, he jumped on the back of the big stone spirit, sat down cross-legged, and said with a bright expression: "I'm not going anywhere, I'll just wait here!"

Xu Lala just wanted to praise Chuchu for being "good", when Chuchu leaned forward and asked Xu Lala, "How long will I have to wait here?"

Hearing this, Xu Lala frowned inadvertently, and he swallowed the word "beautiful" that came to his lips again.

How long do I need to wait?

It was only then that Xu Lai realized that this was also a problem. If he went in today, he would never come back again, what should he do?

Shenwu Snake "hissed" and responded, "We are familiar with the terrain of Wanyao Palace, and we will not go astray with our eyes closed. Ninety-five percent of the prophets can awaken successfully. With us, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Don't worry." .”

Xu Lale nodded.

Chu Chu raised three fingers and said, "Then I'll just sit here and wait for three days."

Xu Lala snapped his fingers back and said, "Even if I haven't come out after three days, you can't enter Wanyao Hall to look for me. If you go in, I won't bother you again until we come out safely." , do you remember?"

Chuchu hesitated and nodded.

Just as Xu Lala was about to turn around, he was held back by Chu Chu again. When he turned around, he saw Chu Chu stretched out a fist to him, with the center of the fist facing up, five fingers spread out, and an earring lying in the palm.

Xu Lala raised his head to look at Chu Chu, who lowered his head and asked him, "Le La, let me put this on for you."

There are two of these silver earrings, Chu Chu hid one, and held the one in front of him, looking at Xu Lai longingly.

Xu Lala pinched his earlobe subconsciously, then met Chuchu's eyes, nodded and said, "Okay."

As soon as Chu Chu heard it, he immediately jumped from Shi Jing's back in front of Xu Lai, and excitedly helped Xu Lai put on the earrings.

Chu Chu's fingertips were slightly cool, while Xu Lai's earlobe was slightly hot, and there was an unhealed ear hole above the earlobe, which was pierced by the silver earring.

"All right."

Xu Lai touched his earlobe. It has been a month and a half since the earrings were confiscated by the dean of the new school on the day he traveled through time. He did not feel any foreign body sensation even after wearing the earrings. Xu Lai didn't know that the earrings were pierced. It's blocked, or the earrings are propping up the piercings, but they fit just fine.

Xu Lala said to Chuchu, "I'm leaving."

Xu Lala was walking alone in the dense forest. He was in a state of anxiety along the way. Shenwugui complained about him online: "It's just going to the Wanyao Palace, and it's not about parting life and death. Is this scary?"

The nine-tailed celestial fox smiled and said, "Just now, the first cub of Wuli has been watching you leave thousands of miles away. You are so cute and silly."

Shenwu Snake also looked at it very lightly: "I was a little worried at first, but since the nine-person prophets who entered the Wanyao Palace were able to leave successfully, with our help, it is impossible to fail no matter what, hey, I just hope After you become a true prophet of the human race, don't forget that you have to save the Phoenix Emperor on this trip."

The three demon spirits were obviously teasing and teasing Xu Lai, but they were actually comforting him in a disguised form.

But Xu Lala still didn't make a sound.

Shenwu Snake only remembered that [-]% of the traversers could successfully awaken and become the prophets of the human race, but forgot that [-]% of the traversers would not survive two months.

But this is not the reason for Xu Lai's troubles. Xu Lai's journey, from the beginning of "no danger", to the later Chu Chu's side is always "smooth", Xu Lai has become a little numb. He no longer felt overly panicked by the thrilling adventure, he just started to feel uneasy from Chuchu's "how long to wait".

Xu Lala walked to the end of the dense forest and looked at the flat and wide Pingchuan in front of him. Pingchuan couldn't see the left and right edges, but he could see the Wanyao Palace facing the front. A huge castle stood in the distance, rising from the ground and reaching into the clouds, majestic and majestic.It seems to be a "fork pole" supporting the sky and the earth.

In the eyes of Wan Yao, this plain is a pilgrimage road, but in front of Xu Lai, it is the place of the Four Wars.

Fortunately, it is not the pilgrimage day every 16 years, and this pilgrimage road is also quiet.

Xu Lala closed his eyes. He heard the sound of wind and sand on Pingchuan. Wing, jumped up, and swooped down again, but within two breaths, Xu Lai had already crossed the flat river and stood under the high wall of Wanyao Hall.

The city wall surrounding Wanyao Hall is even bigger than the silhouette seen from a distance, just like a huge beast, but this giant beast is currently sleeping soundly.

There is a protective barrier on the high wall, only monsters registered in Wanyao Palace can pass through, but this barrier protects against monsters, and with the help of the golden-winged roc, Xu Lai easily climbed over the city wall.

To his surprise, a dwarf tree was planted inside the first city wall, but most of the saplings were withered, like an old woman with a hunched back.Looking around, only a few dwarf trees can still give out green shoots.

As soon as Xu Lala's feet hit the ground, a vine sprang up from the ground and wrapped around Xu Lala's wrists. Xu Lala was startled, but the four great demon spirits were all there.

Shenwu Snake said: "There is no need to resist. This is the wishing forest. Anyone who enters the Wanyao Hall for the first time can plant a tree and make a wish. If the tree grows well, it means that the wish will come true."

Nine-tailed Sky Fox scoffed: "I remember that this was a lazy tree planting plan proposed to increase the green coverage rate of Wanyao Palace. As long as all the monsters come to make a wish, I will return you a green Wanyao Palace. The result is over. After a hundred years, the green belt at the entrance is still yellow."

When the wisher makes a wish, a seed is planted, and the tree is thus able to establish a connection with the wisher himself, nourished by the wisher's strong will to fulfill his wish.

So this vine blocking the way is just a sincere invitation to Xu Lai to work hard for the greening of Wanyao Hall.

"..."

One second Xu Lala thought he had a bad start, but he was caught when he climbed over the wall, and the next second he started planting trees.

Xu Lala couldn't keep up with the overly jumping thoughts, so he stopped struggling to break free from the shackles of the vines, but let the vines lead his hands to pray together in front of him.

Xu Lala asked: "Is it possible to make any wish?"

Shenwu Snake replied: "Yes, you can pass it if you just make a pass."

Xu Lala's mind was full of thoughts for a while, and it was empty for a while, and it was difficult to just perfunctory a wish.

Moreover, looking at this barren withered forest, most of the young saplings died here.The seeds are nourished by the wishes of the wisher himself. If you make a wish casually, the seeds may not survive.

Shenwugui said impatiently: "Just make a wish to kill Aldai, there is no need to hesitate."

——Kill the God of Immortality.go home.

This is indeed the wish Xu Lae most wanted to achieve intellectually, but there was another voice in his heart.

Xu Lala clasped his hands together and silently recited a wish in his heart.

The vines wrapped around his hands and wrists were then slowly loosened. When the vines retracted to the ground, the soil under Xu Lai's feet trembled, and a green shoot burst out of the ground. Xu Lai watched it grow up with his own eyes. In a short time, it became a small sapling, with branches only one finger thick, roughly the same as the withered and yellowing sapling next to it.

Xu Lala took one more look at the young sapling, and Shenwu Snake urged him to move forward quickly.

Passing through the "green belt", dozens of steps lay in front of Xu Lai's eyes, and the surrounding area was eerily quiet, so Xu Lai became more cautious.

Shenwu Snake said: "Don't be afraid, you have truly entered the scope of Wanyao Palace when you climb the stairs."

Shenwugui said: "I just said that we are very familiar with the road here. If you have us to guide you, what are you afraid of..."

Xu Lala had just climbed the last step when the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and even Shenwugui was caught off guard.

Xu Lala was placed in a vast white world, and he was surrounded by endless whiteness.

Between the sky and the earth, there is only Xu Lela alone, and an hourglass directly in front of him that is as tall as Xu Lela's waist.

Before Xu Lai could ask his doubts, the two tour guides, Shenwu Guishe, who had sworn all the way, rushed to take a look:

Shenwugui: "Damn! What's going on?"

Shenwu Snake: "I haven't seen you in a hundred years, and even the Wanyao Palace has changed a lot?? Has it been renovated??"

Nine-tailed Sky Fox also made up the numbers: "This doesn't look like an illusion either!"

Xu Lale: "..."

Xu Lala never expected that this group of former royals would be so unreliable, and he didn't know how to react for a while, so he heard a click in front of him.

Xu Lala looked vigilantly at the hourglass ahead, and saw that the standing hourglass turned 180 degrees out of thin air, but the fine sand in the hourglass seemed to be frozen in the glass vessel above, ignoring gravity.

A prompt suddenly appeared in Xu Lai's mind:

"Find him and replace him. You are a prophet on the side of good and righteous."

Xu Lala also knew that it would take 8.3333 hours for the half-height hourglass to complete the sand.

The quicksand resting on the top suddenly slid down, and the timer started.

Xu Lala was still in a dazed state, and the scene in front of him changed again. He fell from the white world into the night again. Fortunately, there was a full moon hanging in the night sky, but it was covered by floating clouds, and the moonlight was as bright as water. Being blocked, only a few rays of moonlight poured down from the cracks.

Xu Lala borrowed the power of the golden-winged roc to fly into the air, and flew in mid-air to observe the strange land under his feet.

Xu Lala was surprised to find that this was actually a residential area. He floated in the air overlooking the night scene. The houses below were only the size of a palm in his eyes, and they were distinguished from the dark scenery by the lights on the windows.

Xu Lala was just a little surprised when he first saw it, but when he looked closely, he became more and more startled.

There are twelve rooms on the bottom, and the houses are so neatly built that they can be connected into a sketch:
