Chapter 33: The Root of All Evil
Everyone looked at the radiant Dome Spirit Stone, and their hearts were filled with different waves. Only Jiang Ming's heart did not change at all. It's like every midsummer night, the evening breeze will whistle in Tongyao Mountain. Originally, the Four Palaces Examination was the selection of talents from the Four Palaces, but in the end, it came to an end in everyone's surprise to Jiang Ming.
At night, Tongyao Mountain, Zihua Palace.
As always, it was midsummer, because of a meeting that tossed for more than a month. The leaves, which were originally no bigger than palms, are now becoming more and more verdant, covering the sky, leaving a corner of the afterimage. Jiang Ming was still dressed in plain white, with a blue jade pendant tied around his waist, and walked towards the begonia tree with a fluttering step.
Jiang Ming raised his head slightly, and the soft moonlight shined through the gaps in the branches and leaves, shining in Jiang Ming's pupils. He looked at Qi Xia lying on the tree, like him, wearing a white Luo skirt. The white tied in his hair floated down in the air, and the breeze that blew through the courtyard and the bell hanging at the end of the streamer rang slightly in the night.
"What are you doing running into a tree?"
"Look at the stars!" The little girl shook her head, squinted her eyes and said.
Look up again, yes, it's starry tonight.
"Come down, if the master knows that you are pressing his Xifu Begonia, it will be time to talk about you again." When Jiang Ming and Qi Xia talked, they were always so gentle.
"Got it." The little girl was clever, sat up, and a pair of legs swung in mid-air. It's not just that a bug that doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth flew out of nowhere, and suddenly appeared in front of Qixia's eyes. Frightened, the little girl flashed back for half a minute and fell.
Before he could exclaim, he was held firmly in his arms by a warm and powerful arm. The eyelashes, which fluttered because of nervousness, playfully drank helpless breathing. Bai Qixia looked at Jiang Ming blankly, a trace of imperceptible pink, climbing up to the white neck.
"It turns out that the most beautiful star is here."
"What?" Jiang Ming asked.
Qixia shook his head slightly, "Nothing? However, Brother Jiangming, how long are you going to hold me like this? ”
Jiang Ming put Qixia down with some embarrassment. Then he naturally touched her head, "Don't climb so high next time!" ”
"Brother Jiangming, you messed up my hairpin." The little girl glanced at her mouth.
Jiang Ming smiled and took out a delicate brocade box from the spiritual source: "For you!" ”
What is it? The little girl happily took the box, "It's so beautiful, when did you buy it?" The little girl looked at the white beaded flowers, and her eyes were almost straight. Seeing that no one replied to her, she raised her head and asked, "Just tell me, which one bought it, and I will buy it next time." ”
"I bought it from the Dai Zong family!" Jiang Ming said in a deep voice, and then sat down on the stone bench on the side, not forgetting to pay attention to his somewhat wrinkled cuffs.
"Dai Zong's family, is there such a shop? I hadn't heard of it before. Daizong, home. Qi Xia said hello in his head, and after a while, he suddenly understood, and giggled, "Haha, Dai Zongjia, Brother Jiangming, I didn't expect that you would make jewelry by yourself?" ”
"A few days ago, I tried to do it, and it wasn't difficult."
"Cut!" The little girl looked at Jiang Ming's rare praise and muttered disdainfully. happily holding the white beaded flower, leaning on the back of Jiang Ming. "Brother Jiangming, you have to stay with Qixia all the time!"
I don't know when, the little girl fell asleep, and after returning the little girl, she went to find Yin Lingzi.
"Here we are."
"Master!"
Yin Lingzi sat casually on the soft collapse, supporting his head with one hand. "For the teacher to tell you today, you have to write down everything."
Jiang Ming nodded, closed the door, and lit the incense.
"The speed of your cultivation now is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it is inextricably linked to the power in your body. The root of all evil comes from your father, but it is not under your father's control. ”
At the beginning of heaven and earth, Chi You led the tribe to fight in all directions, killing countless people, and countless souls under his hands. And among these people, there are not only those who do many evils, but also those who are of pure character. But in order to expand the territory, many people have become victims of power for no reason.
Chi Yourong Ma has long had blood on his hands all his life, and he didn't worry about these problems at first. Until these resentments begin to accumulate and accumulate. I don't know what happened, all the dead souls buried in the soil were like sprouting seeds, breaking through the ground and turning into an army of the undead, following behind Chi You.
Every time Chi You kills again, all the heroic spirits begin to be restless, and even the unjust souls in the hands of others will come to visit. Over time, the Legion of the Undead expanded to an unprecedented size. Later, while passing through a canyon, the undead were scattered by a blue lightning bolt from the sky.
Someone once sighed that it was the sky that was helping Chiyou.
But everyone underestimated the strength of the army of the undead, and they began to absorb all the dark side of the world. Evil thoughts, resentment, anger, lust, greed...... They use these things to reassemble their bodies. Originally, it was just a lonely soul who came together because of a common hatred, but in the end, it began to have its own consciousness in the reincarnation of the years, with all evil as the source, hence the name - the source of all evil.
However, at that time, Chi You was too powerful, and that power was not mature enough, so that power was hidden under Buzhou Mountain. Later, Chiyou's child came into the world in Buzhou Mountain, and that power took advantage of the weakness to enter. coincided with the two emperors of Yan and Huang joining forces, and Chi You lacked skills, so he had to let his subordinate Yin Lingzi flee with Jiang Ming.
Later, Chi You died in battle, and his evil spirit, strength, and resentment became the most tyrannical existence in this force. It is also the reason why the young Jiang Ming suddenly has no way to bear it.
"Back then, as a teacher, for the sake of you, I took you to Buzhou Mountain and asked the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang to help you use the seven-step golden lotus to continue your life. But there is no way to seal the source of all evil in your body, I searched for the classics, and finally found the three treasures in the divine realm, the demon realm, and the immortal realm, and sealed that power. But time has passed, more than a thousand years have passed, and after you wake up, that force has also begun to stir. Yin Lingzi said slowly, for fear that he would miss any details and not talk about them.
And Jiang Ming, who was sitting on the side, slowly touched his other arm, the one that had been injured for half a month and had no good wound, and the thin black stripes that crawled on the edge of the mouth seemed to have grown a little.
"Especially after the Qingming Festival this year, the decline of the three seals is becoming more and more obvious. So recently, your soul rank has broken through at an unprecedented rate. The root of all evil takes you as the body, and in order to break through the suppression of the three seals, it constantly dilutes the root of your life. So you must find the key to unlock the three seals in the human world, the ghost world, and the demon world before he breaks through the three seals. Break the seal yourself, or you'll be in danger of losing your life. ”
Jiang Ming sounded a little foggy, since he had sealed it in order to suppress this force, he now had to untie it himself. "What happens after it is unraveled?"
"Power is not good or bad, it is just a matter of how it is used. However, the root of all evil is based on all evil, so he first had his mind and then gave birth to the ultimate power. So the solution depends on how you resolve it, and you can't help as a teacher. This sentence, Yin Lingzi said it somewhat helplessly, for more than a thousand years, he has traveled all over the world, and he has not been able to find a solution. This force is unprecedented, unprecedented, so we can only look at Jiangming's own creation.
Do you want me to figure it out on my own? The root of all evil is the only thought left to me by my father. I'm not going to destroy this power! Jiang Ming said secretly in his heart.
"After the apprenticeship ceremony, you will take Qixia and go down the mountain to unlock the three seals! Everything in the world is unpredictable, and I believe that you will find a solution. ”
Jiang Ming nodded, I will find a way to leave this power behind. Jiang Ming and Yin Lingzi chatted until late before leaving. After Jiang Ming left, Madame Bai lifted the curtain and handed the bamboo tube sent by the partridge in the morning to Yin Lingzi.
"What?" Yin Lingzi looked at the letter sent, and his brows, which were originally far away, were furrowed.
"What's going on?"
"The queen is dead!"
