78. Pact with mortals
"Is he really the Apocalypse?" Jing Mu Qian shouted, and those masked masters who were like wood and stone were no longer silent, and looked here one after another.
The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny came to Xiao Ding step by step with a cane, and gently stroked it, and another burst of white light flashed, and it disappeared.
Shi Yuanji sighed, took off the bracelet on his wrist, and pulled it hard. He looked around and saw that he was at the foot of the Rock.
Pilgrims gather around the stone to offer their respects, offering incense and praying around the stone, and handing paper incense sticks to the trees at the edge of the altar. To Shi Yuanji's surprise, these pilgrims passed through his body again, unable to detect his presence.
Okay, I'm cut off from Pangutian again, Shi Yuanji sneered.
"Xi Fangshi, what is your relationship with the Dayu royal family, and how did I come here?" he walked up to Xi Yuanshi and said loudly.
"Don't shout, I hear you. Milky white smoke drifted out of the black stone, condensing into a blurry human face. "You're from Xingqing Mountain, of course I know it. ”
Shi Yuanji looked at the blurred face helplessly, and continued to ask, "Then do you know the reason why the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny made these moths?"
"This involves a contract between me and the Dayu Imperial Family, who are the spokespersons of the Great God of Confusion in Pangutian, and I am to provide them with the information they need. Xi Qishi said calmly.
"Spokesperson?" Shi Yuanji's mind resurfaced with the official myth of Dayu, and the doubts in his heart deepened. "However, the Dayu court is not serious about the propaganda of myths, even if it is an official school like Chengyun Pavilion, the Master's doubts about the gods are also one after another. That Wang Ge even directly questioned the nature of God, can this be tolerated by Firefly?"
Seeing Shi Yuanji standing there pondering, Xi Yushi said without hurrying: "It seems that you have a lot of questions in your heart, but when the inquiry comes here, your questions will have answers." ”
"He can also talk to you directly?" Shi Yuanji was taken aback.
"He's the Apocalypse I've chosen in my generation, and of course he can talk to me directly. Of course, he's slower than you. ”
As soon as Xi Qishi's words fell, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny came behind Shi Yuanji on crutches: "I didn't expect you to come so early, Shi Yuanji." No, maybe I should call you Qiyuanji?"
"Wait, what is Qi Yuanji, Your Majesty, do you think I am a royal bloodline?" Shi Yuanji's thoughts flew around, cautiously probing. "The two people who assassinated me in Xingqing Mountain that day were sent by you?"
"Yes, it's from the Mine Sect. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny walked with great difficulty, moving himself to the altar step by step, and he leaned on the white marble railing. "Look at the way I look now, haven't I been punished by God? ”
"What am I satisfied with? What good can I do if you are sick like this? I still expect you to help me recapture the Golden Crow Temple!" Shi Yuanji was shocked and suspicious, he stood in front of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and asked. "I was an orphan, and I didn't know where I came from. Take 10,000 steps back, even if I am an abandoned baby of the royal family, do you need to kill me?"
Emperor Heavenly Mandate and Shi Yuanji looked at each other for a long time, and smiled bitterly: "Your eyes are very sincere, if it's not your acting skills, you really don't know about it." I warn you, coincide with Hou. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Shi Yuanji was completely confused by the Heavenly Mandate Emperor.
"The coincidence, Hou Qiwu Zhao, rebelled twenty years ago, was discovered by Hu Dan, and the first emperor sent troops and razed his three clans. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny stared at Shi Yuanji's eyes and narrated the matter word by word. "He had a son, who was born in that year, and according to the records of the time, he was already killed. But I suspect now that he's still alive. ”
Shi Yuanji smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Just because I was born in the same year as that child, you suspect me and want to kill me? This is simply unreasonable! Besides, even if I am that child, will I still be so stupid as to fail to take revenge when I see you now being a king with dictatorial power?"
"Then how do you explain your peculiarities, and how did you get the Apocalypse?" the Emperor of Destiny cried out with great difficulty, and after shouting, his face turned even paler, and he coughed incessantly.
"Apocalypse, I see, it's a big misunderstanding. Shi Yuanji said towards Xi Yushi. "Great God of Xifangshi, don't you claim to be omniscient, fair and just?
The milky white face watched all this with interest, and said slowly: "This matter has to start with the contract between me and the Qi family, which was three thousand years ago. ”
"At that time, I suddenly wondered if if I could find the best claws of the Celestial Wolf better and faster if I cooperated with mortals. So, I searched among the mortals for those who had the ability to lead, and so I dug up one family after another. I made a pact with their master, I gave them the necessary information, and they searched for my beloved. ”
"Time is like an arrow, three thousand years ago, mortals were still wrapped in animal skins and stone sticks, and now they are cotton and linen silk gold iron horses. I sought out one family after another, and after they betrayed me, I abandoned them and left them untouched. Finally, two hundred years ago, the Kai family came into my field of vision. ”
"Qi Tiankui, a man with both ambition and means. I signed a contract with him to help him unify Dongsheng Shenzhou, and he was responsible for capturing Zhiclaw. He was smart and strictly followed the contract, and I got him what he wanted. Subsequently, whenever a beloved claw appeared, I would choose a member of the Apocalypse family as the apocalypse and perform miracles. ”
Shi Yuanji complained: "Choose one, does that mean that I am not a child of the Qi family?"
"Mortals, pay attention to your attitude. Xi Qishi said in a deep voice. "I don't know what the reason is for Fuso to take you as an apprentice. I don't know why Xi and the great god are very attentive to you, and they actually spread the word through the great god of fireflies, so that I can take special care of you. But you have to understand that you are a mere mortal, and you are not qualified to yell at me!"
As soon as the words fell, an invisible force lifted Shi Yuanji high, only to hear a crisp sound, and his ribs were crushed by this force three times!
Shi Yuanji screamed, but he couldn't move, the pain made him break out in a cold sweat and spit blood in his mouth. Then he fell to the ground and almost fainted.
The milky white face became scattered, hideous and terrifying: "Xihe is the main god of Taixu, I will obey his divine will, but you should not go too far." I can make your life worse than dead, just like that inquiry!"
The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was so frightened by this scene that he sat down on the ground, and the cane in his hand was unstable. Fortunately, the years of court battles allowed him to stay in danger, and he quickly calmed down and sorted out the focus of the matter.
"A mortal favored by the gods?" he mentally weighed the pros and cons and thought about his next step. After he was occupied by Ding Yunzhi, he still wanted to take it back openly. After helping Hu Dan kill the cat, he also expressed his disgust. Although he has the great strength of a natural disaster master, he is a person who follows the rules and can be used!"
Shi Yuanji struggled to stand up and laughed: "You gods, you are a group of selfish and ruthless guys. I don't need your care, I don't need your mercy from above! I must ask him personally, ask him why he wants my master to return to his position, and ask him why this world is so unfair!"
"Where was he when I was chopped into meat by Gui Kun? Where was he when those tenants in Haitang Town were annexed to land and had no home? Where was he when the people of Yuelan Town were used as nourishment by the corpse demon Liu Fenghua and flayed alive?"
"Who are you gods, who are you to deal with the life and death of us mortals, and why do we have to bow down to you?
At this point, he gulped out blood, but he refused to fall: "Sooner or later, I will find him and ask all this clearly." ”
Xi Qishi snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I'm waiting, it's like waiting for an ant to fly to the sun." , I don't want to see you again. ”
A burst of white light flashed, Shi Yuanji and the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate disappeared from their places, and after a while, they both returned to Xingqing Mountain.
