122 Shinmei Road (1)
"Young Master......" Nine-year-old Mu Yao walked into the room of Zhu Ri, he first raised his head cautiously at the door and looked at Zhu Ri for a while, and saw that there was no sign of getting angry to drive him away, so he boldly entered the door with his carefully cooked mountain ginseng chicken soup.
He held the porcelain bowl in his hand like a baby, the bottom of the bowl was hot, and although Mu Yao took a wet towel to pad the bowl, his palms and fingers were still a little red, making him can't help but tremble his arms.
This chicken soup was taught to him by the chef in the kitchen, it is delicious and nutritious, especially now that the weather is a little colder, the chicken soup is warm and comfortable in the stomach, and Mu Yao himself likes to eat it. Because he liked it very much, Mu Yao wanted to make it for the young master to taste, although he didn't know what the young master liked.
It's been a long time, no matter what Mu Yao has served past, pastries or other dishes, the young master has never looked at it, and sometimes Mu Yao thinks it's quite strange, because he found ...... The young master basically doesn't eat much, he drinks tea, but he just doesn't eat, whether it is the things that Mu Yao brought in the past, or the food that the maid served, he would not touch it every day.
But how can you do without eating?
Mu Yao still remembers the days when he was sold into the shipyard, and he couldn't eat enough every day to do dirty work, he was still younger than now, hungry and skinny, just a living bone frame, and after being brought back day by day, he recuperated for a long time before slowly returning to the normal body shape of a child.
Mu Yao is afraid that he will never forget his feelings at that time in his life, the crazy feeling of being so hungry that he has no will, and his mind is full of food, he was so hungry that he stuffed everything into his mouth, but because he was sick and couldn't move at all, the foreman of the shipyard did not have the slightest mercy, and turned his head and asked someone to throw Mu Yao into the sea, and the moment he immersed himself in the cold seawater, Mu Yao was actually relieved.
He really felt that it was better to be dead than alive.
Even though he was only a kid of about seven or eight years old at the time, the feeling came from the heart.
However, now, if Mu Yao is asked to make a choice, Mu Yao will still choose to live.
Human survival** is an interesting thing, it can always make people choose to survive calmly and firmly in the desperate situation, no matter how tragic and bloody.
"Less...... Master. Mu Yao gritted his teeth, and almost summoned all the courage in his thin body before he dared to force himself to talk to Zhuri, "You...... You have to eat, you don't eat...... If you don't eat...... Would be hungry ......."
At that time, the young Mu Yao was very afraid of hunger, terrible hunger.
In his opinion, it was the most terrifying monster in the world, and it was even more terrifying than the legendary ghost who would skin and tear people out of their bones.
He was so naΓ―ve at the time, he was just afraid that he would be plagued by hunger every day, and he was afraid that he would be hungry every day.
And the miraculous thing is that the day of the day did not seem to be as indifferent as usual, he did not ignore Mu Yao, he seemed to be in a good mood, and the day after day, which was in a good mood, opened the lid of the soup bowl sent by Mu Yao, so that the delicious chicken soup with some medicinal fragrance was exposed to his eyes.
"It smells good. He said.
β¦β¦
What Mu Yao recalled before he died was this memory, this long, long time ago...... Distant memories, in the memories Mu Yao is still a terrible ignorant child, and he is just a handsome boy who likes to wear red clothes, has a lazy expression, and always likes to ignore Mu Yao.
His image in Mu Yao's eyes was always so beautiful, so beautiful that it was like the vast stars in the sky, shining with dazzling and brilliant colored light...... Mu Yao thought that he could take it off with his hand, but he couldn't chase it after spending all his life's strength.
He couldn't catch up.
Mu Yao looked down at his chest, a black magic sword made of demonic qi was inserted into the heart of Mu Yao's chest impartially, and the person holding the hilt of the magic sword was in front of Mu Yao.
Mu Yao had never been so close to him.
It was so close that Mu Yao only needed to raise his hand to touch Heaven's face, but he didn't have the strength to raise his wrist. He could also clearly see the fiery red eyes day by day, and he could feel the slightly cool snort day by day, which sprayed on Mu Yao's face, making Mu Yao couldn't help but smile, but his body trembled.
Mu Yao finally gathered all his strength and wanted to destroy the Gate of the Immortal Realm in one fell swoop, but he failed, and failure was expected. Day by day, he rushed towards Mu Yao at the fastest speed and pierced his heart with a sword, neatly interrupting Mu Yao's spell casting.
Then he used his huge demonic qi to devour the gathered energy of Mu Yao's whole body, and that terrifying demonic qi was not merciful at all, and in the blink of an eye, it eroded Mu Yao's whole body, shattered his spiritual root meridians, and quickly marched towards Mu Yao's mind.
Mu Yao had actually thought about the result of doing this for a long time...... He knew that he would die, that he would die miserably, that he would die without a place to bury.
But he did it anyway.
This is the person he has been unable to keep for the rest of his life.
This one who will never stay for him.
Today, he wants to use his own way, in the most wonderful way, to retain him once.
Even if it was such a heavy price, Mu Yao could not care.
Just once......
"Your Highness, Your Highness......" Mu Yao tried to outline the smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew that he didn't look very good at the moment, he must have started to bleed because of the erosion of demonic energy, and the appearance of his face full of blood but still smiling would make him disgusted day by day, but Mu Yao had no other way.
He had no choice but to smile at the day: "Your Highness...... Look at me......"
Zhu Ri didn't seem to understand what he wanted to say, and he didn't bother to pay attention to what he wanted to say, and grabbed the magic sword in his hand day by day, trying to pull it out of Mu Yao's chest, but Mu Yao struggled to raise his hand, grabbed the blade of the magic sword, and didn't let Ji Ri pull it out.
"Look...... Look at me......" Mu Yao said to Zhuri persistently while vomiting blood, "Just once, please...... Your Highness...... Look at me...... Look at me!"
Unable to draw his sword day by day, he finally raised his head and looked at Mu Yao seriously.
Then Mu Yao was finally able to get his wish, and he saw his face printed in his fiery red eyes day by day, the face that was full of blood and was so ugly.
Always so ugly, always so humble, always so unsightly.
A person like me, this kind of guy who doesn't shine at all when he doesn't shine in the dust, is not at all the type of person who is like a flame like His Highness Chasing the Sun.
But so what, I let him see me anyway.
Mu Yao smiled and stretched out his hand, he forgot his admiration for Zhuri in the past, forgot to be humble in front of His Highness, forgot etiquette and forgot the rules, he forgot everything, he just stretched out his bloody hand to hold Zhuri's face, approached Zhuri's face, and wanted to kiss him.
Day by day seemed to be shocked by Mu Yao's abnormal behavior, he didn't move and didn't resist, he just stared at Mu Yao with wide fiery eyes.
Mu Yao did it, he almost touched the shining star he had been chasing all his life, he had already plucked the star, right in front of his eyes, in his hand, but Mu Yao cried.
Mu Yao didn't know that he was crying, but the tears blurred his vision and mixed with his blood, dyeing everything in his eyes a blood-red color, and then Mu Yao let go of the hand holding his face, and he said, "It's too late to ......"
Too late to touch.
Because in the next second, the demonic qi belonging to the Demon Venerable in his body had completely burst out, and his internal organs had been rotten by the demonic qi, his body began to dry up, and his skin was like a withered body, as if something had sucked his life in an instant, turning him from a young and strong young man into a dying old man in an instant.
His long hair became pale, his whole person was aging like crazy, and even began to weather, and his skin, musculoskeletal, and bones began to decompose, turning into black flying flotsam, which slowly fluttered away with the wind.
He disappeared like this, shattered by the erosion of demonic energy in front of the day, and died so much that there was not even a soul left.
Day by day did not turn away as easily and chic as usual, he floated in place, still maintaining the posture of holding the magic sword into Mu Yao's chest, he felt as if his eyes had entered the sand, and Mu Yao turned into flying ashes, floating into his eyes.
"That guy likes you a lot. He Qianjue slowly and leisurely floated over behind, taking the Immortal Venerable Yue Rong with him. After floating to the side of the day, He Qianjue said: "That one called Mu Yao is very, very obsessed with you. β
He took a deep breath without a trace, then withdrew his magic sword, and smiled calmly in a blink of an eye: "There are too many people who are obsessed with me, one more is not more, and one less is not less." β
"It's heartless. He Qianjue sighed, raised his head to look at the flying flotsam in the sky, and he said to himself, "Who can be moved by this short-lived bloom?"
As he spoke, He Qianjue stretched out his hand, caught one of the flying flotsam, and held it in the palm of his hand.
β¦β¦
After Mu Yao's death, He Qianjue and Zhuri took an Immortal Venerable Yue Rong and prepared to cross the gate of the Immortal Realm.
Without others blocking it, this door became extremely easy to pass through, but when they were about to cross the door, He Qianjue and the others could clearly feel the pressure of the space passage doubling, Yue Rong glanced at the thundercloud above his head that was ready to go, and said: "This cloud was originally made by us to hide the gate of the fairy world and balance the energy it emits, but it is obvious that because the gate of the fairy world was destroyed and the balance was broken, the thunder and lightning elements accumulated in this cloud were about to reach saturation. β
He Qianjue turned his head to look at Yue Rong: "This is obvious, it looks like it is about to explode." β
Yue Rong shook his head slightly and said: "I mean, when it erupts, the Thunder Tribulation will destroy the Gate of the Immortal Realm as well, so we must pass through the Gate of the Immortal Realm quickly, otherwise we will be affected by the Thunder Tribulation and fall into the gap between time and space, this is not a joke." β
In the interval when He Qianjue and Yue Rong said a few words, the basic protective shield had been laid around them day by day, and the broken gate of the fairy world was accompanied by a strong space-time shock, without the protective shield, they would definitely be seriously injured.
Day by day, he turned his head to He Qianjue and said, "Please leave it to you to speed up." β
He Qianjue gestured to Zhuri to say that it was no problem, and then ordered He Qianjue and Yue Rong to enter his protective shield, and take the two of them together to pass through the huge "black ball" that exuded a strange attraction in front of him.
β¦β¦
After He Qianjue and Immortal Venerable Yue Rong left through the gate of the fairy world.
The thousand-year-old thundercloud surrounding the gate of the fairy world suddenly erupted, and the whole thundercloud became pitch black, and the huge thunder roared and rolled, flickering blue electric sparks from time to time, and the sparks were so shiny that they could illuminate the dark valley in an instant.
Whether it is the immortals or the demon cultivators around, they all feel the terrible crisis on the way in horror, because this thundercloud is too huge, it covers a radius of hundreds of thousands of meters, as long as it is shrouded in the direction, lightning and thunderbolts follow, one after another thunder tribulation seems to have eyes, whether it is an immortal or a demon cultivator, as long as the cultivator has a certain amount of energy on the body, he will be selected as the target by the thunder tribulation, and he will frantically split people's heads.
The most terrifying thing is that the Thunder Tribulation is not an ordinary lightning split, but it is comparable to the Thunder Tribulation when the monks of the Tribulation Period cross the Tribulation, and its power is naturally extraordinary.
The immortals are not very comfortable, the thunder tribulation is the most powerful energy derived from the five elements element, with the highest attack power unparalleled, even if they have experienced such a thunder tribulation before they ascend to immortals, but if they are unprepared and suddenly deal with it, they will still be caught off guard and embarrassed.
For a while, the immortals and demons no longer cared about fighting, and they scattered one after another, fleeing towards the place where the thundercloud could not be enveloped, but the thundercloud actually had a tendency to swear not to give up, it actually began to move, and even dispersed, it separated into two halves! Half of it floated towards the head of the group of people who were the largest number of demon cultivators. Half of it went over the head of the immortal.
This invasion of the Demon Realm, which lasted for thousands of years, came to an abrupt end with the disappearance of the Demon Venerable and the Immortal Venerable, and the Immortals and Demons began to worry about the ghostly thunderclouds floating on their heads.
At the same time, Yan Snake and Ying Qian also arrived at the scene of the war.
They did not rush closer, but stood on the outskirts of the battle area, carefully observing the situation and began to look around for information.
After going around to collect a wave of information and coming back, Yan Snake and Ying Qian couldn't help but discuss.
Yan Snake asked, "How's the situation?"
Ying Qian raised his head and looked at the black clouds flickering with lightning in the distance, and replied, "It's not good, I heard that the Demon Venerable has broken through the encirclement of the immortal army and rushed to the gate of the immortal realm. β
"Then they must have gone in. Yan Snake also followed Ying Qian's gaze to look at the black clouds in the distance, "Mr. I'm afraid he also went to the fairy world." β
Ying Qian said: "The two of us have limited strength, so we must be unable to stop it, what are you going to do next?"
Yan Snake was silent for a moment: "Go back." β
"Go back?" Ying Qian seemed a little unwilling, "We haven't even met Mr. before, so we went back?"
"He'll be back. The snake seemed convinced of this, "It will come back to us." β
β¦β¦
At the same time, Day by Day and the others successfully passed through the gate of the fairy world and arrived at the fairy world.
It felt like they had passed through a dark and long tunnel, a tunnel that made He Qianjue feel like the darkness of eternal night, there was nothing in it, there was no sound, and it was so quiet that it made people feel suffocated, but that feeling was only for a moment, and they quickly crossed the door of space and arrived in another world.
"This is the fairy world?" The day after walking out of the gate of the fairy world looked around, there was a mist in front of them, there was no ground under their feet, as soon as they came out, they had to use the levitation technique, the gate of the fairy world behind them had collapsed, and the "black ball" turned into strange points of light scattered around.
Seriously, it's the first time he has come to the fairy world, he was a person who was blocked from the outside before, he didn't think about sneaking into the fairy world secretly, but once he came to the fairy world and the mortal world, there was only one channel, and his demonic energy and the aura of the fairy world were very repulsive, and it was easy to be discovered by the immortals, so his infiltration could not be a simple "sneak" anyway.
For tens of millions of years, this is the first time to set foot in the territory of the fairy world day by day, this place is incomparably vast and huge, Immortal Venerable Yue Rong and his group of immortals seem to have established the base of the fairy world on the clouds, so when they come out of the gate of the fairy world, they can see the beautiful scene full of clouds and mist, through the hazy clouds, you can see the towering mountains below and the trees that are huge enough to break through the sky.
"All the flowers, trees, and even animals in this world are very large, and we are like ants on the ground compared to them. Yue Rong was reluctant, with a wooden face, but he still introduced the basic situation of the fairy world to He Qianjue and Zhuri, he actually mainly introduced it to He Qianjue, and his eyes were also on He Qianjue when he spoke, not at Zhuri.
Yue Rong said: "Because the surrounding environment is too large, there will be a lot of inconvenience in living on the ground, so the immortals moved their dwelling to this cloud, which is actually on the top of a very huge tree, its branches and leaves have broken through the clouds and go up, we are like birds perched on the trees under the branches and leaves, building our houses." β
Day by day couldn't help but mock and said: "Should you say that you are worthy of being an immortal? β
Yue Rong sneered at the sneering of the day: "It's better than your demon realm, which is already a sea of fire." β
"Can I see this as a provocation?" Everyday's face turned hideous, glaring at Yue Rong, "I don't mind throwing you into the fire. β
"Of course you can throw me into the sea of fire, but without me, what will you take to the fairy world?" Yue Rong seemed to have grasped the short feet of the day, he raised his chin slightly and became arrogant.
Day by day, he felt that Yue Rong might be about to turn his face, and squinted his eyes and looked at Yue Rong with bad intentions: "You have such an attitude...... When you get to your own turf, do you start to have no fear?"
"How dare I!?, you are the invincible Demon Venerable His Highness in the world!" Yue Rong smiled exaggeratedly.
Yue Rong didn't want to pay much attention to Zhu Ri, turned his head and stopped talking to Zhu Ri, and turned a blind eye to the murderous gaze of Tian Ri, Yue Rong said to He Qianjue: "Qianjue, there is one thing, I want to discuss it carefully with you, but during the period when I was talking to you, I didn't want His Royal Highness the 'respected' Demon Venerable to be present, can you go with me elsewhere?"
When I heard this day by day, of course the first one was not happy: "Why can't I be there!?" Yue Rong ...... No amount of messy planning is useless......"
"Okay, day by day, don't be willful. He Qianjue interrupted the words of the day.
"Am I willful!?" heard this, and became even more unhappy, his anger began to rise wildly, and he raised his foot and took a step closer to He Qianjue, and the demonic qi around his body unconsciously rolled up.
At this time, He Qianjue stretched out his hand to make a "forbidden" gesture to Zhuri, stopping the approach of Zhuri, and then He Qianjue said: "You and Lord Xianzun are not in the same place, and I feel that the environment of the fairy world will affect your emotions, you will become easily angry and irritable, which is more likely to cause conflicts and quarrels, and quarrels are just a waste of time." β
"Day by day, if you still want to go to the divine realm, just calm down and stay here. I will communicate with Yue Rong alone, rest assured, the conversation between us, I will tell you in great detail afterwards. β
Speaking of this, He Qianjue didn't wait for a day-by-day reaction, turned around and followed Yue Rong away, they drifted away in the hazy clouds, Yue Rong seemed to take He Qianjue to the building in the shade of a tree not far away.
Although he was unwilling at this moment, reason told him that He Qianjue was right, he didn't like Yue Rong, and he had no good impression of the fairy world.
Coming to such a ghost place in the fairy world, the surroundings are filled with a strong fairy spirit, and a demon cultivator will be particularly conspicuous here, like a light bulb of several kilowatts in the dark night, which can illuminate the surrounding boss area brightly. The demonic qi around him also repelled these immortal qi so badly that he became an enlarged version of the transmitter, and the cultivators around him could feel the evil aura on him from afar.
Although he tried to suppress the demonic energy in his body day by day, devouring the free aura in the air to replenish his own energy, these strong spiritual powers would also affect and purify the demonic energy day by day, and day by day he had to tense his nerves, and day by day he became more vigilant and aggressive than usual, and at the same time, day by day's mood became worse.
In other words, from the moment he stepped into the gate of the fairy world, he was already in a bad mood every day.
Raising his head and looking at the sky of the fairy world, according to the continuous investigation of the day for many years, he found that this place in the fairy world was very close to the god world. Standing on the territory of the fairy realm and looking up at the sky, through the dark blue curtain in the sky, you can vaguely see all kinds of twinkling stars hanging in the distant darkness, and among the countless stars, the brightest one is the place where the Protoss live.
"I'm going there. Raising his hand to the sky, he almost instantly spotted the brightest star twinkling in the deep blue night, and he recognized the planet, where he had existed tens of thousands, if not billions of years ago.
β¦β¦
On the other side, He Qianjue was taken by Yue Rong to the giant tree in the fairy world.
Yue Rong waved his hand lightly and used a simple wind-based spell "Clearing the Clouds", and a slight gust of wind blew up, blowing away the clouds and mist in front of him, and also exposing the things that were hidden by the clouds and mist in front of He Qianjue.
He Qianjue raised his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation: "Okay...... Spectacular trees. β
The trunk of the tree is thick, the branches are long, and the leaves are so large...... A single leaf can envelop He Qianjue's whole body, and you can imagine how huge this tree is.
"We call her the unicorn tree. Yue Rong Chong He Qianjue introduced: "It is the largest tree in the fairy world, which can generally grow to a height of thousands of meters, this tree is the highest and largest, its height is about eight thousand meters, and we are now at the top of it, that is, at an altitude of eight thousand meters." β
He Qianjue glanced down at the clouds and mist that were slowly floating along the air flow under his feet, this cloud was very thick, but occasionally he could see the ground below through the gaps in the clouds, the ground was lush green, and it felt vibrant.
"The days in this world are very long, and there are twenty-four hours in the day on earth, twelve hours during the day and twelve hours at night. And in the fairy world, there are eighty-one hours in a day. β
Under Yue Rong's words, He Qianjue looked at Yue Rong in shock, but Yue Rong did not respond to his gaze, but looked at the unicorn tree in front of him with complex and affectionate eyes.
"Eighty-one hours a day, which means forty hours and thirty minutes during the day and forty hours and thirty minutes at night, which is a very, very long time, so the creatures in this place ...... Life is also extraordinarily long. β
He Qianjue asked Yue Rong, "What do you want to say to me?"
"I have a responsibility, He Qianjue. Yue Rong took a deep breath, "Even if I can agree to all your requests, start the ascension ceremony now, open the passage to the divine realm, regardless of any risks that may exist in this, I can't ...... without reservation Give everything like this. β
"I see. He Qianjue understood what Yue Rong meant, "If you have the conditions, it's okay...... Go ahead. 166 Reading Network
