Chapter 43: The Remnants of the Jade Tree
No one would have thought that the contract between Zhiling and the Spider Queen would be such a contract. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Zhiling signed the contract with the Spider Queen, she had no strength and couldn't give any actual reward, and the Spider Queen was originally disdainful. But Zhiling put forward another additional condition, that is, after the agreement was reached, she was willing to dedicate her youth and beauty to the Spider Queen in exchange for cooperation.
Human youth, to put it bluntly, is a kind of essence. The cultivation methods of demon beasts are not as diverse as those of human spirit cultivators. Although they could also accumulate over time just by absorbing the wisps of demonic energy that overflowed between heaven and earth, their cultivation speed would be very slow. The fastest way is to directly devour the demon source essence of another demon beast of the same level, and refine it, so that you can directly absorb the demon beast's long-term penance cultivation skills. Therefore, the predator of the jungle among the demon beasts is extremely cruel, and every demon beast is frantically killing its own kind in order to survive and stand at the top of the food chain.
And if you can get lucky enough to devour the soul of a cultivator, even if that person's own realm is not high, the essence power contained in it is also a great supplement for the demon beast. For this tonic sent to the door, the Spider Queen accepted it unceremoniously.
But after the contract was signed, after the Spider Queen kept her promise and swept away the Zichu Kingdom in one fell swoop, Zhiling was reluctant to be the glory and wealth of the King of Cangping, and openly betrayed the contract.
The Spider Queen was furious, and actually devoured Zhiling alive! The helpers invited by Zhiling were as vulnerable as mantis arms in front of her. In the end, Feng Dushan also had to give up Zhiling, and brought a messenger to apologize to the Spider Queen, promising to give a lot of money to ensure the stability of the country.
But the Spider Queen, who had been deceived by Zhiling, could no longer trust these scheming humans. What's more, she was originally the head of the alien beasts, and she had no feelings for the Cangping Kingdom, and she acted without scruples, as she did when she destroyed the Zichu Kingdom, she once again led many alien beasts to set foot on this land, directly leveled the Cangping Kingdom, and led the little spiders to occupy the entire country.
Since then, this land has been unsettled, and over time, the trees are luxuriant, and the birds and animals gradually increase, and finally it has become a black jungle that makes people talk about it.
The spider queen has been reigning in this black jungle and living a happy life until today.
These pasts are complicated, but through the Soul Searching Secret Technique, the time that passes in Ye Shuo's mind is only a moment. Thinking of the soul of King Zhuoyi who was buried in hatred and struggling, and thinking of the impermanence of the world, today you have stood in the perspective of an overcomer and looked down on others, and another day you may become a pile of white bones under another person. exhaled lightly, and couldn't help but sigh deeply for this grievance that spanned thousands of years.
Chu Tianyao has been standing next to him and waiting quietly. It wasn't until Ye Shuo withdrew from the soul searching state that he stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother Ye, what the hell is going on, how did your spiritual power recover so quickly?"
Chu Tianyao thought secretly in his heart: Ye Shuo, who had fought hard against the Heavenly Cang Beast with him before, had also exhausted his spiritual power like himself. Now there is no sign of recovery of his spiritual power, and from the battle he just had with the Spider Queen, it is obvious that he has returned to his heyday. Without the aid of the healing elixir, such a recovery speed is simply incredible!
Ye Shuo frowned: "I don't know either." He still remembered that when he came out of the cave before, he had asked King Zhuo Yi: "It's not difficult to ask the Spider Queen on your behalf, but now that my spiritual power has been exhausted, can you give me some of the spiritual power you have absorbed from this formation, so that after I can refine it, I will have the power to protect myself and then do things for you?"
King Zhuo Yi laughed: "Why do you need this little bit of spiritual power from me! I look at your body, the essence is full, that is the sign that the spiritual power has been exhausted! Moreover, every time the spiritual power is exhausted, it is equivalent to expanding the cyclone of spiritual power stored in the body again, and when you absorb it again, you can absorb the spiritual energy beyond the previous limit." It's also very beneficial for long-term cultivation!"
Ye Shuo was startled, and hurriedly condensed and sensed, sure enough, the spiritual power had been fully recovered, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy: "But I haven't absorbed the spiritual energy on my own, and there is not enough spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this cave for me to absorb." ”
King Zhuo Yi smiled, his expression a little complicated: "Of course I know that you didn't absorb it on your own. I think it may have something to do with your physique, and even without your deliberate guidance, some kind of power in your body will work spontaneously, repair your damaged meridians, replenish your depleted aura, stop between this walk, and even between you and me, your spiritual power has been completely restored. Alas, what an enviable physique!"
Ye Shuo didn't figure out the mystery of this magical physique, so he naturally answered honestly.
But when Chu Tianyao heard it, he only felt that he was unwilling to tell himself. There is nothing in this, everyone will have some secrets, Chu Tianyao smiled, and did not ask any more.
"By the way, Senior Brother Chu, this is your thing, right?" Ye Shuo fiddled with a clear bead in his hand. Since he had searched the Spider Queen's divine sense, he naturally wouldn't miss what happened a moment ago. He could see how reluctant Chu Tianyao was when he presented this bead, not to mention that he was willing to stay and deal with the Spider Queen for his own sake, which really touched him. In the cave before, a trace of vigilance that had risen due to the natal imprint gradually faded and was casually thrown to Chu Tianyao.
When Chu Tianyao saw Ye Shuo pick up the beads, he panicked in his heart. He knew that Ye Shuo had searched the Spider Queen's divine sense, and he would definitely know the preciousness of this jewel, if he directly intended to swallow it privately, he just owed him a favor, I am afraid it would be difficult to be cheeky enough to ask for it. Now that Ye Shuo is willing to return the treasure to him, it really makes him feel a little moved when he holds the orb.
Chu Tianyao wanted to say something, but Ye Shuo spoke first: "Senior Brother Chu, let's go back to the cave first and find an old man." I'll tell you about other things on the way. ”
Chu Tianyao silently followed after hearing this, for some reason, although he was very curious about why the Heavenly Cang Beast was willing to become Ye Shuo's mount, he didn't even dare to ask. He felt as if the Celestial Beast's cold eyes were always watching him, and if he had any ill intentions, the Celestial Beast would immediately attack him.
The two came to the stone cave, and Ye Shuo told King Zhuo Yi everything he saw and heard in the memory of the Spider Queen.
King Zhuo Yi laughed: "Hahaha, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, who will be spared by the sky!" After laughing for a long time, he lowered his head and looked at Ye Shuo: "Little brother, thank you for solving this mystery for me." Knowing that those two people have been retributed, I can finally let go of my thousand-year-old obsession. Now I'm dead with no regrets! Even though I'm about to be taken away by death in the blink of an eye, I can finally close my eyes!"
Ye Shuo heard the meaning of life in King Zhuo Yi's words, and hurriedly persuaded: "Senior, don't be so pessimistic, since you have already taken revenge, you might as well set your sights on the future."
The world is full of wonder, and there must be a lot of hope for you to rekindle. ”
King Zhuo Yi shook his head and chuckled: "No matter how good the outside world is, it belongs to those young people after all. I should have been buried two thousand years ago, so why should I go out and join in the fun? What's more, now this chain locks my whole body's spiritual veins, but at the same time, I must rely on the thin spiritual power it provides to sustain my life. I am destined not to get out of this cave alive. ”
Chu Tianyao also stepped forward and said, "As long as you have a dream, it's never too late. Since the predecessors were the most influential figures 2,000 years ago, they will definitely be able to create brilliance in this era. As for adaptation, don't worry, we'll take care of you. The juniors will put you down first, and then ask the teachers for advice on how to get you out of danger. ”
In his heart, there is a different calculation. He guessed that Ye Shuo's ability to recover his spiritual power so quickly was mostly related to the mysterious King Zhuo Yi in front of him, and the soul bead he took out was also extraordinary, plus it could drive a powerful demon beast like the Heavenly Cang Beast. If you can make a good relationship, the benefits for the future are self-evident.
Hearing Chu Tianyao's voice, King Zhuo Yi's gaze fell on Chu Tianyao, but his eyes suddenly widened.
"In you, there are two breaths of half-light and half-ignorance intertwined at the same time! and light and darkness are at war fiercely...... Although you can succeed no matter which path you take, the personnel differences caused by this must not be guarded against! It is the so-called 'one step to heaven and one step to sin'! This king can only advise you that when you are faced with a choice in the future, you must stick to your heart and act cautiously, so as not to make a big mistake!" he shook his head and sighed again and again.
"What does this mean?" Chu Tianyao was confused, "Can the senior be more detailed?"
King Zhuo Yi shook his head: "I can't say anything about such a leak of heavenly secrets. Otherwise, not only me, but even you will be erased by the rules of heaven and earth!"
"Gossip Master!" Ye Shuo's eyes suddenly lit up. He had seen records of various professions in the scroll before, and the gossip master was able to calculate the destiny of heaven and hold yin and yang. Now King Zhuo Yi can not only see through Chu Tianyao's future, but also say that he must not reveal the secret of heaven, so he must be the extremely mysterious gossip master. It's just that...... I don't know what I thought, and his expression suddenly became very strange.
King Zhuo Yi nodded approvingly: "Yes, it's hard for you to know the gossip master." Judging by your expression, you must want to ask me, since I am a gossip master, why did I fall into such a situation, it is because ......" he waved his chain self-deprecatingly, "Even the most skilled gossip master cannot calculate his own life. They can only live in the loneliness of a lifetime, observing others alone, but they can't say what they see in their eyes about the future. Therefore, even if there is a chance in the future, I will never want you to follow the path of a gossip master. ”
Ye Shuo was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since the number of personal lives cannot be revealed, can the juniors ask the seniors about one thing? The juniors have never broken through the qi storage period since the day of cultivation, do the seniors know what the reason is? Or is it because of the ......" Ye Shuo paused, "Because the juniors are really not suitable for spiritual cultivation?"
After listening to Ye Shuo's words, King Zhuo Yi looked at him carefully.
Chu Tianyao also hurriedly listened attentively. He had been concerned about Ye Shuo's physique for a long time.
