Chapter 912: Changes in the Demon Realm
It didn't take long for the sun to regenerate and shine in all directions, and the bloody corpse began to decay at an extremely strange speed in the sun, turning into a dark red skeleton, the skeleton gradually weathered, and finally disappeared, and the blood in the coffin also quickly volatilized after coming into contact with the sun, and finally only some dark red coagulated blood clots remained, covering the entire bottom of the coffin.
"Well, that's fine, bring the whole burial chamber up. Shenqi's telekinesis is useful again, "Blue, you fill this pit with dirt, and then you're done." ”
"Oh. Blue began to move the surrounding soil layer into the pit, and the entire burial chamber built of stone bricks was moved to the open space by Shenqi, Shenqi's fingers trembled, and the stone bricks of the burial chamber were broken down one by one and piled up to the side, these stone bricks were of very good quality, and they could be used as materials for the walls and shelters of the human city.
"Hmm...... Okay, let's take a look. I pulled Shenqi and Lan to the side of the coffin and looked inside, the bottom of the coffin was blocked with those dark red blood clots, and I couldn't see what was underneath, "Okay, I'll fight!"
Smashed the blood clot with his left fist, and the contents of the coffin were finally revealed, it was a sword, and when I picked up this sword, I could feel the sword tremble slightly, interesting, is this ......
"It's beautiful, show me. "I was thinking about what to do with it, when Shenqi suddenly took the sword from my hand.
"Hey, don't take it!" I immediately reminded, but it was too late, Shenqi had already thrown the sword on the ground, and there were a few light red marks on her hands, "Ah, I said don't take it, right?"
"What's the situation!" Shen Qi shook his hand vigorously, "It hurts...... How so?"
"This sword has already given birth to a shallow consciousness, that is, the sword spirit, just like my heart, but this is still very initial, there is no clear consciousness, and ...... It's a ferocious spirit that doesn't treat users gently. I picked up the sword from the ground again, "I have the seed of darkness in my head, and it is subconsciously afraid of me, but you, it doesn't know that you are a demon god. ”
"Isn't this sword very difficult to use?" Shenqi's hand was not injured at all, but the pain was real, "Who can use it." ”
"Hachi can, she has the same genetic factors as me, enough to suppress this level of fierce spirits, once the fierce spirits are suppressed, they will no longer resist the master, but can indicate danger, but not everyone is qualified to make it surrender, currently among the people I know, in addition to me, there are demon dreams, demon jealousy, small eight, D-255, and Wuming that I dealt with last time. "Conquering the sword spirit requires not only strength and will, but also an understanding of the sword itself, which cannot be done by people who don't use swords often. "Hmm...... Let me see...... Oh, this sword is called...... What a coincidence, you actually have the same surname as me......"
There was nothing else in the coffin but this sword, but this sword alone was worth the price, and seeing the sun rise, I let Lan Yi burn the coffin.
"Okay, there won't be any problems in the future, and the brothers can start work. "I said hello to the villagers, and I came to Suzuna-an with Lan with Shenqi, and the wooden boards at the door of Suzuna-an were plastered with power of attorney, but most of them had been painted with black ○, indicating that the problem was solved, and it was time to make a more convenient system, but I'll talk about it next time, and when I remembered...... "Is Suzu-chan there?"
The door suddenly opened from the inside, and I was confronted by a man with brown hair, glasses, and leaves on top of his head......
"Hey, hey, this isn't ......" Although the ears on the head are gone, and the EX-level tail is gone, but isn't this a big raccoon.
"What the is it, I'm not not!" the big raccoon dog covered my mouth and pushed me aside, and Shenqi and Blue began to look at us strangely.
"What are you?" I didn't expect her to be so excited, obviously she was such an old person when we last met.
"I'm not me!" said the big tanuki that made me feel even more strange, and ...... Why is it so quiet?
"It's not...... You're not you, so who are you?"
"Anyway, you just pretend you don't know me!" Now I realized that the big raccoon didn't want to reveal his identity, but ......
"Do you think it's possible?" I pointed to Shenqi and Lan, who had been eating melons for a long time, "Do you think there are still people who think I don't know you? Do you know that your current actions are more likely to attract suspicion? What the hell do you think?"
"Uh...... This one...... I've got to go beforehand!" the big raccoon looked back and fled.
"Whew, okay, don't look at it, don't care, it's just an old acquaintance who is a little nervous. With an understatement of explanation, I walked into Suzuna-an first, "Suzu, open the conference room." ”
"Okay. Xiao Ling took down a book from the shelf, and the bookshelf immediately slid to the left, revealing the door behind it, "Lord Lan, Lord Shenqi, welcome." ”
"Uh...... Ah, hahaha......" Shenqi was stunned, there was no such formal equipment in their demon world.
"Sit. "As soon as we entered, the bookshelf hid the door again, and there was a conference table in the room behind the door, and I motioned for Shenqi to sit down, and then poured her a glass of water, "Okay, now I can tell me what you came for......
"Well, actually...... Let me start from the beginning, do you know a person named Holy White Lotus?" Shenqi suddenly mentioned the name of Holy White Lotus, and this name is not unfamiliar to us.
"Holy White Lotus...... Lord Qin, is it the dark shadow at the last World No. 1 Martial Arts Conference?" Lan remembered a farce a long time ago.
"Yes, strictly speaking...... It should be a trace of the Holy White Lotus's residual thoughts, but ...... Why do you mention her?" "I don't really know much about the Holy White Lotus, only the extent of my knowledge.
"It's good to know, then I can be more direct, the younger brother of the Holy White Lotus, the Holy Lotus, is a legendary monk, very famous, and the Dharma is powerful. Shenqi sighed, "I've met him once, very nice guy, of course...... He can't see me. ”
"Holy Lotus...... I have some impression of this name, and it is said that his Buddha power is so powerful that the seemingly fluttering flying bowl can completely empty the granaries of greedy people in an instant, and some people even say that he can completely cure the diseases of people thousands of miles away. Compared with Bai Lian, Lan has a deeper understanding of Life Lotus, "I just don't know if it's true or not." ”
"I can tell you, it's true, it's all true. Shenqi affirmed Lan's statement, "Bai Lian's talent in Buddhism is far inferior to her younger brother's, so when she gets old, she has to learn mana from her younger brother, as long as she stays in the flying warehouse that accumulates the mana of the life lotus, she can naturally gain power...... But ......"
"But the characteristic of Buddhism is that even though it is extremely powerful after cultivation, it cannot make people immortal. "Buddhists call death death, and this is what I don't like about Buddhism.
It's okay to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, what I'm talking about now is not to belittle one's life for righteousness, it's like the song sacrificed himself to seal the westward demon, and then became a ghost, I admire her to tell the truth, but Yuandu, don't be kidding, this kind of worthless way to die, it's a waste of life, anyway, unless necessary, I will live by any means, in order to make a comeback, live, only have a chance, only have a future.
"That's right, the cruel thing is...... The Destiny Lotus passed away before the White Lotus, and died of illness, which completely changed the Holy White Lotus. Shenqi took a sip of water and eased up, "After the death of Minglian, Bai Lian was grief-stricken, and at the same time, she also began to feel fear of the shortness of life, not ...... Unlike most people's fears, she began to fear death extremely, and she wanted to live forever, but like you said, through Buddhism, it was impossible to achieve it, so White Lotus turned to magic and witchcraft to maintain her youth...... She's very talented at it. ”
"It sounds like Elizabeth Bathory's story, but ...... Well...... "Bathing in virgin blood can indeed maintain or even restore youth, but the duration is very short, after all, there are only so many biological factors in human blood, and even fewer can be absorbed, so it is seriously not recommended," you go on......
"White Lotus has indeed achieved the power of rejuvenation, but this is not a spell, but a witchcraft, a magic, which has laid the root of the bane. "There is also a big difference between people who practice magic, such as Patsy, her race is a witch, born, and Marisa is an authentic human, but she practiced magic the day after tomorrow and became a magician, which is just a profession, just like Marisa's other jobs such as thieves, robbers, and mushroom pickers, just a profession, because Marisa does not use magic on herself, it can also be said that she can't do it, in the final analysis, Marisa can only attack magic, and even alchemy is half-baked, not to mention magic related to the human body。
But the Holy White Lotus, different, she was originally a human being, but she used the power of magic to transform her body, from the moment the transformation was completed, the Holy White Lotus, who was a human being, disappeared, and was replaced by a creature similar to a witch but different, a special race, the magic makes the race, the magic makes the race of the Holy White Lotus, it sounds a bit like Geralt of Rivia, but the meaning is different.
"White Lotus didn't notice this, on the contrary, she made a mistake common to all human beings, and it can't be said to be a mistake, it can only be said to be a habit, that is, she is afraid of losing what she has gained, yes, when she gained the ability to rejuvenate, White Lotus, who has reached immortality, begins to worry that she will lose her immortal power. ”
"Hexology...... If there were no monsters in the world, there would be no witchcraft. "The monster I mentioned here is a monster in a broad sense, that is, a monster in the eyes of humans in the outside world, according to their point of view, I am a monster, Xiao (9) is a monster, Yuyuko is a monster, Meihong is a monster, Yonglin is a monster, Shenqi is a monster, although we belong to six races that are completely different from monsters, but it is the same for them," and without witchcraft, it is impossible to rely on witchcraft to remain immortal. ”
"That's right, she started to carry out her own two-sided plan, even if she was entrusted with the retreat of the youkai, but secretly, in essence, she was helping the youkai, of course, she was not going to be hostile to humans, but just like you are now, looking for a balance that would allow both humans and youkai to live well. ”
Shenqi is right, although the means of Bailian's behavior are different, the result he wants to achieve is the same as the goal we are working towards, it's a pity...... It was clear that she must have failed.
At first, she did it only for her own benefit, but in constant contact with youkai, she gradually realized that the demon power could not survive if it was not strong, and took this as the most reasoned, and gradually went deeper and deeper on this road, and finally, after learning about the sad past of the youkai on this road, she began to sympathize with the youkai from the heart...... And so everything was ruined. ”
"Her actions are not acceptable to humans, right, because human beings always feel that people who are not of our race must have different hearts, and before I came, wasn't it the same with Gensokyo? "Humans are very flexible creatures, but on the other hand, humans are more brainless than any other creature.
"That's right, when she was still pursuing this balance, she came to the Demon Realm, and we talked very happily, although her strength was insignificant in my eyes, but her ambitions, ideals, were wonderful, just like you, I taught her a lot of things, including my unique magic, the Demon God Resurrection, but she improved it and turned it into a more suitable magic for herself, she said she would come back when she left, but when she really came back, she was already sealed in the blood crystal. "The legend of the blood crystal is an imitation of Nuwa's blood jade in ancient times, and it has an extremely powerful sealing ability, and those who are sealed by this kind of thing will never be able to unlock it by themselves.
"Haven't you tried to free her?" With the power of the gods, it didn't take much preparation to break the blood crystal seal.
"I have been, but her will has reached my head, and she says that her seal will be broken, but not by me, and that she will wait until her so-called chosen one arrives, and I don't want to go against her will. Shenqi shook his head, "However, just today, the blood crystal that sealed the white lotus disappeared entirely, and I followed the spatial fluctuations all the way to you. ”
