Chapter 29: The Calm Before the Storm
Xiao Ling stood in front of the ice coffin, watching the bodies of the eighteen babies gradually turn into a little starlight and dissipate in the air, silently praying for them in his heart.
"Xiao Ling'er, let's go!" At this moment, only Xiao Ling and Xiu Yilie were left in the array, seeing Xiao Ling's sad appearance, Xiu Yilie couldn't bear to let her continue to grieve, so he had to persuade her to leave this place, no longer trapped in grief and unable to extricate herself.
"Hmm." It wasn't until all the starlight was completely gone, that Xiao Ling sighed secretly and agreed to leave with Xiu Yilie.
When he came to the door of Wuji's room, Xiao Ling saw Yan Jun leaning against the door alone, lowering his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, so he stepped forward and handed him the restored water knife in his hand, and asked softly at the same time: "Brother, has Wuji Tianjun come to his senses?" ”
Yan Jun raised his head, took the water knife in Xiao Ling's hand, looked at Xiao Ling's worried eyes, sighed, and shook his head, "I'm not awake yet." ”
"It's been two hours, and I'm not awake yet, so there won't be any problems, right?" Xiao Ling turned his head to look at Xiu Yilie, slightly agitated.
Yan Jun would definitely think of Xiu Yilie as soon as he saw what happened to Xiao Ling, and his heart was inexplicable, so he turned his face slightly, not wanting Xiao Ling to find out his sad expression.
"Now that the spell has been broken and there is no sign of backlash, there shouldn't be any surprises." Xiu Yilie pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of why.
"Then let's go in and take a look at the Infinite Heavenly Monarch." Xiao Ling raised his feet and was about to enter the Wuji room.
"Ling'er, stay first." Yan Jun blocked Xiao Ling's move to push the door, "The queen of heaven is in the room, there should be something to say to the master, you can go in later." ”
Hearing Yan Jun's words, Xiao Ling stopped and nodded in agreement, "Then we'll come back later." ”
"Good!" Yan Jun looked at the backs of Xiao Ling and Xiu Yilie leaving, and his heart was still dull and painful. After half a ring, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and silently said to himself in his heart, didn't he make a decision a long time ago? As long as Ling'er is happy, she will silently protect her behind her back, and as an elder brother, she will be her family and relatives, and she will never abandon her.
"Isn't it very unhappy? Do you want to beat up that guy Xiu Yilie? Hong Tian walked out of the corner, patted Yan Jun's shoulder, and said through gritted teeth.
Yan Jun came back to his senses, slapped off the palm of Hong Tian's shoulder on his shoulder, and brushed the non-existent dust on it, "Hong Tian, you don't need to share your own thoughts with me. ”
"Huh!" Hong Tian touched the hand that was hurt by Yan Jun, and sneered, "Don't deceive yourself anymore, your eyes are about to pop out, and you are still pretending to be generous here, do you think this king is blind?" I can't see that you hate Xiu Yilie very much in your heart, and you can't wait to drive him away, and you can't get close to Xiao Yujing anymore, so that you can stay by Xiao Yujing's side alone, and wait for a long time for Xiao Yujing to be moved by you one day, and naturally you can successfully hug the beauty. ”
"Full of gibberish!" Yan Jun looked at Hong Tian coldly, "Don't fight Ling'er's idea anymore, she is not something you can provoke!" ”
"Humph! This king is not as cowardly as you, this king just likes Xiao Yujing, and he dares to admit it in front of anyone, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, this king will not give up! Hong Tian didn't care about Yan Jun's cold eyes at all, and said everything in his heart with a smile, and his slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes exuded a light that was bound to be won.
"Ling'er and the Demon King are in love, they will get married one day, what are you doing to make a scene?" Yan Jun laughed angrily, and was speechless for Hong Tian's cheekiness.
"What about getting married?" Hong Tian said nonchalantly.
"So what do you want? Small? Yan Jun looked at Hong Tian with a smile, he didn't expect that the arrogant demon king would be able to endure being small? It's really a triumph of the Three Realms.
"Yan Jun, you don't have to anger this king so much, our demon world is different from your heavenly realm, there are not so many so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality, etiquette, righteousness and shame, if you like it, you have to get it, it is justified, it doesn't matter if it is big or small, it is not certain who will kill the deer! Since you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, stay in peace, just don't be greedy at that time! Hong Tian not only did not get angry at Yan Jun's sarcasm, but also calmly explained a lot of reasoning, which made Yan Jun cry and laugh.
After finishing speaking, Hong Tian left directly, leaving Yan Jun with a wry smile and shaking his head, it seems that Ling'er and Xiu Yilie still need to do a lot of good things, and this demon king Hong Tian's ability to stir up trouble is not small.
At this moment, Xiao Ling and Xiu Yilie didn't know the conversation between Yan Jun and Hong Tian, the two of them walked on the tree-lined path of Lingyun Mountain, the breeze was blowing, and the leaves rustled, like a moving music, which made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
"If only I could be so peaceful and calm every day, there would not be so many open and secret battles, conspiracy traps, and there would not be so many worries." Xiao Ling opened his arms, felt the soft breeze on his face, no longer thought about those bad things, and the whole person instantly felt a lot refreshed.
"Xiao Ling'er, one day I will give you a peaceful and happy life." Xiu Yilie seriously assured Xiao Ling, "When the time comes, we will no longer pay attention to the disturbances of the Three Realms, and live alone in a secluded place, whether it is the Heavenly Realm, the Demon Realm, or the Human Realm, as long as you like it, we will settle there." When the yard is full of your favorite peach trees, the peach blossoms bloom in spring, and the fragrance of peach blossoms is everywhere. ”
"I just like Yuping Mountain, where there are peach trees and Mu'er." Xiao Ling was deeply attracted by Xiu Yilie's description, that is, the life she wanted, without strife and plain.
"Okay, when all this is over, I will accompany you back to Yuping Mountain." Then Xiu Yilie didn't know what to think of, and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Ling turned his head to look at Xiu Yilie, not understanding what was funny, and teasing the usually moody demon king like this.
"The human world says that a man's stay in a woman's house is called an inverted door, and I can be regarded as a door-to-door son-in-law!" Xiu Yilie looked at Xiao Ling, his eyes were shining, as if he wanted Xiao Ling to give him an exact name.
"Oh, what a nice weather today! Let's go over there! Xiao Ling knew very well what Xiu Yilie meant, but he was shy in his heart, and quickly changed the topic, so he didn't answer him directly.
"Xiao Ling'er, don't run! You haven't answered me yet! Xiu Yilie saw that Xiao Ling was shy, and pretended to be anxious to chase her behind, causing Xiao Ling to laugh again and again.
Different from the calm on Lingyun Mountain, the immortals in the heavenly realm can be said to be in the midst of aquatic fire, the Heavenly Emperor Wujie has been angry for several days in a row, punishing several heavenly generals who left their posts without permission, and all the immortals are trembling, for fear that this fire will burn in front of their door.
At this moment, the Emperor of Heaven returned to the bedroom alone, dismissed everyone, walked to the wall, gently moved a painting on the wall, creaked, a secret door appeared on the wall, he raised his feet and walked in, the secret door then closed automatically, and the entire bedroom did not change in the slightest, but the Emperor disappeared.
Unbounded walked down the long steps, footsteps echoing in the dark passages, knock, knock, knock...... It looks particularly cold and eerie. There was no face and no expression, the majestic and noble look on his face had been replaced by gloom, he pursed his lips, his eyes were grim, and his whole body exuded an aura of destruction.
Walking down the long steps, facing a stone gate, Wuji stretched out his hand to press the stone lion's head on the stone gate, twisted slightly, the stone door opened instantly, the trees inside were luxuriant, the climbing branches were intertwined, and the towering trees had tall crowns, covering the entire sky densely, making it seem that this place was low and gloomy.
Crunching, stepping on the thick branches and leaves on the ground, Unbounded came to a giant tree, stretched out his hand to push open the secret door above the trunk, and walked in.
There was a lot of space inside the tree, and Wujie walked in front of a high platform, on which was placed a smooth bronze mirror, exuding a cold light.
With a wave of the unbounded long sleeves, the scene on Lingyun Mountain appeared on the bronze mirror, the array in the array had been broken, and all the puppets ambushed on Lingyun Mountain were destroyed, and the only Wufeng that could be controlled by him at this moment was also hidden, and it could not be found from the bronze mirror. Seeing this, Wujie roared angrily, and in an instant, the inside of the big tree was in a mess, all the furnishings in the cave were thrown to the ground and damaged, and the only remaining bronze mirror was placed on the platform, continuing to exude a cold light, looking down at everything in front of him.
"Unbounded child, you're impatient again!" An old voice came from the depths of the tree, successfully stopping the unbounded rage.
Wujie tried his best to calm the restlessness in his chest, straightened out his slightly messy clothes, and continued to walk towards the depths of the tree with his feet raised......
In the deepest part of the tree, there is a crystal platform, five feet square, reflecting a cold light, and there is a faint figure shaking on it, but unfortunately it is as thin as smoke, and the specific form and face are not real. Unbounded stood still in front of the platform, was silent for a moment, and said, "The plan failed. ”
As soon as Wujie's words fell, he felt a fluctuation, and the old voice sounded again, "Failed? Why? ”
"The specific reason is not exact, the puppets of Lingyun Mountain have all been destroyed, and Wufeng has also been imprisoned, and he can only see from the bronze mirror that Xiu Yilie, the king of the Demon Realm, seems to have participated in the breaking of the formation, and some others are not afraid." Unbounded's voice was low, and his tone was a little dissatisfied, "God, this Xiu Yilie is so arrogant, why can't you annihilate him in one fell swoop?" ”
"I have a lot of use for this person, you just have to act according to my arrangement!" The figure on the platform once again made an unquestionable voice, "I'll teach you some more exercises, and it is official to refine your son quickly, otherwise if you miss a big event, you will stop dreaming of becoming a god and unify the Three Realms!" ”
"Humph!" Wujie was reprimanded, and he was unhappy in his heart, but in order to achieve his great cause, he had to temporarily obey this so-called divine arrangement, and after snorting coldly, he obediently stepped on the platform, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and felt the endless power, which was slowly transmitted to his body.
