CHAPTER XXIII
Nine Heavens
Since the dispersal of the divine discussion this morning, the entire Jiuxiao has been heavily guarded, and the inside and outside of the Heavenly Palace are even more heavily guarded. Yan Bai personally guarded outside the main gate of the Heavenly Palace for a day, until it was getting dark, and after a burst of tinnitus, he called Ying Rong, who had been waiting to be sent, over: "I have something important to leave for a moment, you are here to keep an eye on the enchantment for me, if there is any change, go to the father emperor quickly, and I will be back soon." β
Shadow Rong respectfully owed: "Yes." β
What caused the tinnitus of the flame white was nothing else, it was the wisp of breath that had been left for it before. After explaining to Ying Rong, Yan Bai urged the method of teleportation and came to Yanzhou.
Red Continent Iwashu
Since the flood here took place, although King Xi, the lord of the human world, has allocated a donation for disaster relief, how can Iwaju, which was almost completely destroyed by the flood, say that it can be rebuilt? The officials in charge of disaster relief sent from Ba'anzhou, the capital of Chifang, were worried for a while in the face of this disarray, and it took a lot of effort to bury the bodies of the fallen people in the cemetery on the outskirts of Iwaju, and the dilapidated houses and the like had not had time to be repaired, so the entire Iwaju became a lifeless ruin.
Near the last time Flame White had camped, it sat on a tattered roof, lazily fiddling with the shattered rubble at its feet.
When the flame-white figure appeared in front of her out of thin air, she was first taken aback, and then smiled: "It's really good." β
Yan Bai saw that she was still wearing the cloak that she had put on her last time, her heart was wide, and when she met again, Yan Bai's tone was much softer: "What's the matter?"
He patted the dust on his hands and asked, "Let me ask you, do you know the whereabouts of the ghost spirit Yinxi?"
It asked straightforwardly, but it had no beginning or end, so Yan Bai didn't know how to answer at all. Just when Yan Bai was still in a daze, he added, "Do you know what happened in the Demon Realm today?"
Yanbai tilted his head: "What?"
"The golden ray is dead, dead at the hands of the ghosts. β
Yan Bai's eyes widened in surprise: "Dead?"
He didn't expect Yan Bai to be so shocked, he frowned slightly and looked at him for a moment before questioning: "You really don't know? I just told you about the Golden Ray's collection of treasures, and he was killed when he turned aroundβplus those rumors about Yinxi and the Moon God in the pastβis she in the Heavenly Realm?"
Yan Bai asked rhetorically, "What are you doing inquiring about the whereabouts of the ghosts?"
It pursed his lips and said frankly: "The demon king has something that has been kept by me, if I guessed correctly, Yin Xi is really the daughter of the demon king, then such a thing has to be handed over to her." β
Looking at Yan Bai's puzzled expression, she was also very puzzled, and she asked again: "Do you say that you know or not?"
Although he did know Yinxi, Yan Bai didn't know anything about what he said. And Suchuan and Yinxi have a close relationship, although it doesn't see any bad intentions, Yanbai still doesn't intend to reveal it to her, and shook his head at the moment.
Barbarian he didn't ask any more questions, but explained: "The demon world is in chaos again at this time, according to my spies to report, the first prince Nan Xiao and the ghost spirit Yin Xi appeared together in the Shen Shen Palace, after killing the golden ray, Yin Xi disappeared, but Nan Xiao stayed in the Shen Shen Palace, except for the eight city lords imprisoned, there is no other movement for the time being." When the people of Doro City heard this, they fled one after another, and the good Demon Realm Capital City has now become a disaster in the eyes of everyone. "If you really don't know, then the two brothers and sisters just happened to start moving?"
Yan Bai listened and thought about it - Yin Xi would go to find the golden ray, although it was unexpected, but it was also reasonable, most likely it was Su Chuan who told Yin Yi about the matter, and Yin Xi decided to find the door before the demon world invaded the heavenly realm. But why did he go with Nanxiao? Could it be that Yinxi wanted to take this opportunity to snatch the demon world back to Nanxiao? It makes sense......
It has not reacted when it sees the flame white, and it is a little boring. She frowned and thought about it, and muttered, "I always feel weird, and I can't say it......" She was distressed for a while, and after sighing in frustration, she suddenly pointed to the cloak on her body and asked, "Oh yes! Do you want this anymore?"
Yan Bai, who was still pondering the affairs of the demon world, was stunned, and asked in embarrassment: "Don't you demon clans know the difference between men and women?"
It tilted its head, as if it didn't understand why Yanbai reacted so much, and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh! You're talking about the difference between male and female, of course there is." β
Yan Bai raised his voice again for no reason: "Then you are still naked! Within the Three Realms, which woman do you see is not ...... What kind of style does it become to go out without clothes?
It looked at Yan Bai a little innocently: "You misunderstood...... Unlike you who were born in human form, our demon clan has a real body, and I show people in my real body on weekdays, and it is because I want to see you that I have turned into a human form. β
Only then did the flame white face that reacted look ashamed: "That...... Then you will see me as your true being. β
It looked at him speechlessly: "I see you in my true form, and you can't understand what I say." With that, she stood up, only to see her light brown eyes rise again with the blue aura of the last time, and then, a strong light suddenly lit up, and Yan Bai couldn't help but close her eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was a white wolf standing in front of him, and the cloak that the flame white tied to her body looked very abrupt.
The demonic aura emanating from the brute behind the transformation back into the real body is several times stronger than when it turned into a human form. She grinned at Yan Bai, and in the next moment, she jumped forward violently, directly knocking Yan Bai off the roof. Flame White slammed to the ground, but the brute who pounced on him didn't get off him.
A low roar came from her throat, and her blue eyes were interspersed between the pure white fluff, looking strange and cold. Then, she rubbed her nose against her white face before taking a few steps back.
Yan Bai stood up and looked at her inexplicably, only to see that the blue aura in her eyes lit up again, and after the same strong light, she turned into a human form again.
It smiled triumphantly, "Isn't it?"
Yanbai got up aggrievedly: "It's vulgar!"
Barbarian immediately stepped forward unconvinced: "Wow! Your god of war has destroyed a lot of demons over the years! Moreover, the king of our clan died in the battle with your father, and we can be said to be most of the enemies! I didn't bite you just now, it's already very polite!"
"Those monsters are messing around, if they don't die, will they be allowed to cause trouble to the Three Realms?" Yan Bai also asked back confidently.
"That's why I didn't bite you!" he glanced at him angrily, "Forget it, you can bring out a pair of gods at every turn, you better hurry back and guard your heavenly realm, I always feel that this matter is not over." β
Yan Bai was a little helpless, and the recent series of events deepened the faint uneasiness in his heart, one by one, one by one, inextricably intertwined and wrong, and people couldn't figure it out. As it said, this wave seems to have just begun to surge high, and in the end, it is not known what kind of huge wave it really hits.
Infinite Heavenly Capital, Nine Heavens, Heavenly Palace
The night is coming, and it has come to the time when Suchuan should go to the Sun Moon Cliff to set up stars, he came from the north gate to the main gate of the Heavenly Palace, ready to find Ying Rong to go back to the north gate for him to guard for a while. As a result, Yanbai, who was supposed to be guarding the main gate, disappeared, and only Shadow Rong was alone, staring intently at the barrier.
Suchuan stepped forward and asked, "Where is my brother?"
Ying Rong hurriedly made up for Suchuan: "I have seen His Highness, and the lower part of the Temple of the God of War said that there is something important to do, and he didn't say where to go, but he said that he will be back soon." β
Suchuan nodded: "Then I'll wait for him here, you go first......"
"Eh! I'm back!" Before Su Chuan's words were finished, Ying Rong pointed behind him, and then saluted Yan Bai, who was walking this way: "His Highness the God of War." β
Su Chuan turned his head and saw sporadic stains on the flame-white armor, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you?"
Yan Bai's expression flickered, and he shook his head a little weakly: "It's not ......"
Su Chuan thought that Yan Bai had fought with someone, how could he rest assured?: "Is something wrong?"
"Nope. Yanbai scratched his head in embarrassment, and took Suchuan to the side before explaining, "If it looks for me, I went to Yanzhou." β
"Did she do it with you?" asked Sugawa.
"Oh, no, no, no. Yanbai laughed helplessly, "I accidentally fell myself." β
"......" Su Chuan looked at him speechlessly, looked at him for a moment, and saw that he was cramped and flustered, Su Chuan suddenly smiled evilly, "Do you know that you look like a thief now?" Brother, do you have a crush on someone?"
When he said this, he hurriedly denied it: "What are you talking about? How could I possibly fall in love with such a brutal monster?"
Suchuan smiled disapprovingly: "Then what is she looking for you? But what is the movement of the demon world?"
Speaking of this, Yan Bai became serious again, judging from Suchuan's reaction, I am afraid that he also did not know anything about the fact that Yin Yi had already been to the Demon Realm. Yan Bai twitched his mind a little, and asked tentatively, "Did you tell Yinxi about the Demon Realm?"
When it came to Yinxi, Su Chuan was always involuntarily nervous, and he nodded: "What's wrong?"
Yan Bai paused for a few seconds: "The golden ray is dead...... I heard that it was...... Yinxi went to the Underworld. β
"......" Suchuan was shocked, he didn't expect Yinhui to act like this at all - although Yinxi didn't say it explicitly, Suchuan understood that she had always been disgusted with the power of the ghost in her body. She copied scriptures, escaped from the world, and read all kinds of difficult ancient books day and night, all in order to suppress the unwarranted mania of the ghosts, and tried to suppress the nature of the ghosts. And she will go to the Demon Realm to find the Golden Ray, apparently to protect the Heavenly Realm from attack. If she had known this, she shouldn't have been told this......
Yanbai saw the self-blame on Suchuan's face, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while. And the more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and what made him feel most painful was that he didn't know what he could do. Even, he's been making trouble since the beginning. At the beginning, the loosening of the seal in Yinxi's body was also caused by the thousand-year-old cultivation that she hastily crossed......
Now, why do you want to make up for it, the more you can't recover?
Suchuan was full of sadness, and buried his face deeply: "I'll go to Buxing first." β
Yanbai didn't understand the details, but he knew that Suchuan must be blaming himself for not protecting Yinxi. But the matter has come to this, even if he wants to comfort Suchuan, he can't say anything useful. He looked at the back of Suchuan in the distance, and his heart was not good.
Wuji Tiandu, Wuji Zhai
After coming out of the Underworld Palace this morning, Yinxi immediately returned to Wuji Zhai. At that time, Huang Yuanjun was still making tea, and when he saw that Yin Xi's eyes were full of blood, he wanted to laugh a few words to ease her manic feeling. But Yin Xi's expression was serious, and he forced Huang Yuanjun to swallow back the ridicule in his throat, and Huang Yuanjun blinked his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Yin Yi frowned and rummaged through the books piled up in Wuji Zhai for a long time, as if she didn't find what she was looking for, she thought for a moment and walked to Huang Yuanjun: "Before me, besides Rakshasa, are there other ghosts?"
Huang Yuanjun shook his head.
The worry on Yinxi's face was even worse: "Then- will the Rakshasa still be alive?"
Hearing this, Huang Yuanjun's whole body trembled, and he rarely showed a look of horror: "Why did you say this?"
"I just saw Nanxiao. Yin Xi replied, "There is a ghost spirit qi on his body, it seems that he should have been refined into his bones and blood, and the blood veins on his body have turned black...... If there is only one ghost other than me, it is most likely that the Rakshasa is still alive. β
"......" Huang Yuanjun frowned, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. Although Yinxi's conclusion is really incredible, the ghostly aura on Nanxiao's body she described is really exactly the same as that of Rakshasa back then, if this is the case, then this matter is a big deal.
Huang Yuanjun groped in his mind for a long time, but still didn't come up with any way to practice the spirit qi out of thin air, he paced back and forth, and drooped his face in distress: "This matter is strange, old man Rong pondered and pondered...... If it's true that Rakshasa is still alive, then where is he? Why did he have to cross his breath to Nanxiao?"
She pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go to the bottom of the sea. β
Huang Yuanjun stopped her: "You first tell the old man about the things in the demon world." β
"I killed the golden ray. Yin Xi sighed, and there was no other expression on his face, "At this time, Nan Xiao should have sat back in the position of the Demon Lord, and there is nothing else to say." β
"Female doll ......" Huang Yuanjun asked tentatively, "You have already accepted the ghosts?"
When Yin Xi entered the door, he noticed that she was quite angry, so he guessed that most of the golden rays had lost their lives, but he only thought that Yin Xi had not recovered his strength. But at this moment, Yin Yi looked very calm, but the blood in her eyes showed no sign of fading, which made Huang Yuanjun feel worried.
Yin Xi glanced at him, but did not answer.
Huang Yuanjun was stunned in embarrassment, and then returned to his indecent appearance, and laughed hehe: "Good thing, good thing, you and yourself are torturing people by doing it, you see how ......energetic you are now" Finding that Yin Xi's eyes were getting colder and colder, Huang Yuanjun closed his mouth in amusement.
But to be honest, Huang Yuanjun really hoped that Yin Yi could accept the power of ghosts. He knew that Yin Xi had always been fighting against the ghost nature in his body, and he also understood that Yin Xi was afraid of losing control, of harming the innocent, and of implicating the people around him, but the more he didn't accept himself like this, the more out of control would be when he broke out. But the nature of the ghost is brutal in the end, for example, in the past, Yinxi would try to save a dying bird when it was faced with it, but now Yinxi may let it die faster.
Huang Yuanjun returned to the tea table and poured a cup of tea for Yinxi: "I'm afraid this matter will soon spread to Jiuxiao, do you want to wait until you see Shuchuan before going?"
At the mention of Suchuan, Yinxi's expression softened a lot, and she sighed helplessly: "I'll go back when I go, if he comes, let him wait for me." β
Huang Yuanjun nodded: "Okay." β
So, Yin Xi went to the bottom of the sea, but the bottom of the seabed near noon was as quiet as stagnant water, and she didn't find anything abnormal after exploring it. Now within the Three Realms, there is only this place related to Rakshasa, and if there is no clue here, there is no other clue.
Coming out of the bottom of the sea, Yinxi went to the Demon Abyss again, originally just holding the mentality of what if, just going over to take a look, but at the bottom of the Demon Abyss, Tu Ge's scattered bones made Yinxi very surprised. It seems that this demon abyss has a great relationship with the matter of Nanxiao, and this place happens to be adjacent to the Ushasa Sea, and perhaps clues about Rakshasa can be found.
Yinxi activated the spell, condensed a cloud of light, and flew into the abyss for almost an hour, but there was nothing but boundless darkness. Yinxi returned to Tu Ge's corpse and pondered - or will she come back to see it later?
Aside from this thought, Yinxi couldn't think of any other ideas. Fortunately, this trip was not completely fruitless, and it would be a waste of time to spend it here now, so Yinxi collected the spell and returned to Wuji Zhai.
Huang Yuanjun greeted him with a book in his hand: "How?"
"I haven't found any clues yet. Yin Xi shook his head, "But I still suspect that there is a mystery at the bottom of the sea - the corpse of Tu Ge in the Demon Abyss is only bones, so it stands to reason that it can't be so fast, right?"
Huang Yuanjun hurriedly replied: "No, Tu Ge is also a 100,000-year-old divine beast, how can it rot so quickly that only bones remain?" He twisted his face again, "Then this matter is getting more and more strange." β
"I'll go again tomorrow. Yinxi glanced at Wuji Zhai, "Have you been here?"
Huang Yuanjun shook his head: "Not yet, I guess I don't know yet." β
"Hmm......" Yin Yi nodded a little melancholy, came out of Wuji Zhai again, and went to the back mountain spring to soak for a while. Running around those places today, my body is stained with a bad smell. Yinxi could imagine how anxious Suchuan would be after learning that she had made her own opinion, and if she came to the door and saw her embarrassed appearance again, it would add to his blockage.
What Yin Xi didn't expect was that she finished grooming and waited until late at night, and Suchuan did not appear in Wuji Zhai. This made Yinxi anxious - could it be that he didn't know it yet?
She uneasily pushed open the door of Wuji Zhai, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the starry light in the sky was complicated, and Yinxi's heart sank: "Stone ......"
