Chapter 31: Clues

The night is dark, there is a lone star hanging in the dark sky, and the glazed palace lamp hangs above the jade of Qionglou, revealing a gentle and soft light.

At the end of the unitary period, the palace wall was deeply locked, and Wuge and Kou were bored and wandering around.

The two of them wanted to find some food somewhere, but when they left the Holy Grace Palace, they didn't know where the guards and attendants in the Mianyue Palace had gone, and they didn't touch anyone along the way.

"Holy Maiden, what is a demon?"

Walking to a pond, Coco asked inexplicably.

Wuge was asked by Kou Ko and laughed: "What is a demon, uh, how to say it." After thinking for a moment, "Do you have any bad guys in the Quicksand Universe that everyone shouts and beats?"

"Yes, the 'Flowing Smoke' alien is. ”

"Let's put it this way, the demons are like the 'flowing smoke' here in the post-god era. ”

was born a demon, but she never felt that there was anything wrong with this identity, at most, it was not so good.

Kou Ko frowned, stopped, took Wuge's hand, and held it in the palm of her hand, Wuge was stunned for a moment.

Just listen to the soft voice of Koko: "Holy Maiden, even if you are 'Liuyan', Kokoo will always accompany you." Her face was precious, and it was gentle under the nightlight.

There was a warm feeling in his chest, and Wuge raised his hand to rub Koukou's little face: "You are stupid, even if you are a demon, you are not all bad people, such as me, you are a happy little demon who loves flowers and flowers blooms, you..."

"Oh, is it?" Suddenly, a clear voice came, with a bit of banter, startling the two of them.

Behind the rockery beside the pond dangled a figure, who came from the night, and his silver hair stood out in the dark night.

It's Ji Sheng.

Wuge panicked, when was he there?

Ji Sheng walked around the pond, passed under the weeping willows with his short body, and slowly walked to Wuge's side.

"Saint, saint, I'll go and eat." When Coco saw Ji Sheng, she paused to speak, and without waiting for Wuge's reaction, she trotted away.

"Wait... Wait..."I! This Nizi just said better than she sang, and now the soles of her feet seem to be smeared with oil.

She scratched her head and looked at Ji Sheng with an embarrassed expression.

At this moment, the breeze was blowing in the willows, and under the bright moon, on the side of the pond, there were only her and the silver-haired man in front of her.

Looking closely, Wuge found that his facial features were really exactly the same as Qi Yuan's, and even the location of the mole at the corner of his eye was exactly the same.

Wuge looked at his face carefully, thinking that there was such a thing in this world, and unconsciously got closer and closer.

"Holy Maiden, am I good-looking?" he said in a bewitching voice, a smile on his lips.

Hearing this, he nodded, Qi Yuan's face was so good-looking, Wuge had seen it for millions of years, and he hadn't seen enough...

Ji Sheng smiled, the water in his eyes was shining, and Wuge thought to himself, if Qi Yuan laughed, it should be the appearance of this disaster for the country and the people.

His lips slowly approached Wuge's ear, and he breathed like a blue: "Can you go to a place with me?"

Where to go?

Wu Ge looked sideways into his eyes, his black eyes rippling with waves, lined with silver hair, like an immortal who had fallen into the dust in the dark night.

She couldn't help but blush slightly, and then nodded.

Follow his steps and come to the back of the rockery.

Ji Sheng suddenly turned around, smiled, and slammed Wuge against the rock, his body was very close, his silver hair intertwined with her jet-black black hair.

Wuge's brain was chaotic, watching his two thin lips like cherry blossoms move, and he saw his gentle eyebrows and eyes getting closer and closer to her, thin lips brushing her cheeks, and his voice was as confusing as wine...

He said, "It won't hurt..."

———

Inside the Temple of Grace

"Third brother, the Cloud Devouring Beast may be in the Crowning Moon Country. ”

Feng Jue stood at the round table made of white jade, Mo Xingran beside him didn't know what he was thinking, holding a white jade cup in his hand, stunned.

Hearing this, he looked at Feng Jue: "The Cloud Swallowing Beast is in the Crowning Moon Country?" The handsome young man was full of sorrow.

Feng Jue nodded uncertainly: "It's just possible." ”

"On the basis?"

"Duo'er inquired that the national teacher is immortal, and no matter how the lord of the Mianyue Kingdom alternates, he will not be shaken to his position. According to legend, the oasis of Mianyue Country was created by the national teacher. ”

Feng Jue paused, saw Mo Xingran's brows furrowed, and continued: "Every year, the national teacher will perform a rain prayer ceremony, and those so-called 'holy sons' will play the role of a 'gift of God' at the rain prayer ceremony, and after the rain prayer ceremony, they will disappear without a trace. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Xingran felt a pang in his heart.

The way of heaven is constant, in the continent of the Later Gods, even the gods of the ancient heavens cannot easily call the wind and rain, not that they can't do it, but they can't change the laws of the operation of all things, just because, it is against the way of heaven to act like this.

Feng Jue sat next to Mo Xingran with a serious expression: "Third brother, I think all this may be related to the Cloud Devouring Beast. ”

The Cloud Swallowing Beast is one of the two divine beasts under the Father's throne, and it is a five-element divine beast.

According to legend, the predecessor of the Later God Continent was the Continent of the Ten Thousand Gods, which was created by the Father God and the nine ancient gods with the soul of bone and blood, aiming to create a Pure Land of Eternal Happiness.

And after the creation of the world, except for the 'Xuanhua Emperor', the father god and the other eight ancient gods all fell.

With the extinction of the true gods, people's hearts were born with 'greed, hatred, and ignorance', and the heavenly way was unbalanced, so the Yongle Pure Land became an infernal hell, and after that, there was the 'Later God Continent'.

But after all, this continent was created by gods, so they must be detached, such as the only surviving god 'Emperor Xuanhua', since this is the case, the Cloud Swallowing Beast is an ancient divine beast, and it must also be beyond the Heavenly Dao.

These mixed thoughts were churning in Mo Xingran's mind, and he said in a deep voice: "Feng Jue, I know what you are worried about, but everything in this array is different from the outside, here, there is no 'Heavenly Dao'. ”

If there is really a 'Heavenly Dao', then this is not a Linglong Array.

"You just said that the Holy Son of the Crowning Moon Kingdom will play the role of a 'gift from the gods' at the rain prayer ceremony?" Mo Xingran suddenly asked inexplicably.

Feng Jue nodded inexplicably.

Mo Xingran clenched the white jade cup in his hand, his expression solemn, as if he was pondering something.

There is no 'Heavenly Way', but is there 'God'?

He thought, judging from everything that happened so far, this exquisite array was not the five-element array they were familiar with, the usual five-element array, as long as they found the location of the formation according to the law, it could be easily cracked, and this exquisite array was a large array laid out by the ancient gods, so it must not be so simple.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through Mo Xingran's mind.

"Feng Jue, what do you say will happen to those holy sons after the rain prayer ceremony?" he opened his eyes wide and turned to face Feng Jue.

"Duo, Duo'er said, they will disappear. Feng Jue was taken aback by Mo Xing's sudden seriousness.

Disappear!

Mo Xingran suddenly froze, his handsome face was terrifyingly white.

Feng Jue shook him gently: "Third brother?"

"Soul Sacrifice Array!" he paused word by word, squeezing his voice out of his teeth.

This is what he saw by chance when he was a child from the ancient book that recorded the 'caracal demon beast', and he vaguely remembered that the book recorded that this array was extremely evil, and in ancient times, it was a 'great fierce forbidden array' that was strictly restrained by the gods.

He only remembered that the special thing about this formation was that whether it was an opening formation or a marching formation, it required a soul sacrifice!

But why did the ancient gods take the risk of using this evil array? Was it just to suppress the Cloud Swallowing Beast that was stained with the aura of killing?

Wrong!

The Cloud Swallowing Beast's anomaly was after the Great War of Gods and Demons five million years ago, and the Linglong Array had existed tens of thousands of years earlier.

It's not that simple...

The white jade cup in Mo Xingran's hand became tighter and tighter, and the green tendons on his palm flared up, and it was difficult for him to guess the fog even if he racked his brains.

With a crisp bang, the white jade cup in his hand shattered violently, and the palm of his hand was punctured by the broken cup, and the faint pain pulled him back to reality.

Feng Jue cautiously asked him, "Third brother, what's wrong with you?"

He shook his head, "What time is it?"

Feng Jue gently unfolded Mo Xing's palm, and the broken white residue of the cup was deeply embedded in the flesh, dyed with blood. "I don't know, usually there are people in the Mianyue Palace at this time, I don't know what is going on today. ”

Caught off guard, Mo Xingran suddenly stood up when he heard this, pulled out his hand, and ran out of the door.

"Third brother, where are you going?"

Feng Jue clenched his handkerchief and bit his lower lip, looking at his hurried back.

The wound on his hand has not been bandaged yet...

—————

Mo Xing's body was like the wind, and he rushed out of the Holy Grace Hall without choosing a direction, just rushing away.

This place is weird, if it is really as he thinks, then it is very likely that Wuge will become the living soul of the 'Soul Sacrifice Array'.

And when she left the Temple of Grace, it was still a little bright, but it was already nightfall.

This is enough to show that she is in distress!

There was no one along the way, and the huge palace was like a ghost.

At this moment, a stumbling figure came from the fork in the road ahead, and he hurriedly rushed forward.

It was a thin woman, Mo Xingran grabbed her shoulders and asked, "Have you seen the holy woman?"

The woman in front of her kept her head down and didn't speak.

Mo Xingran shook her shoulders vigorously and asked sharply, "Have you seen the Holy Maiden?"

Her body shook a few times as Mo Xingran pushed her, and she suddenly fell backwards without warning.

In an instant, with the help of the glazed palace lamp on the wall, Mo Xingran saw the woman's face clearly, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Because this woman is Coco!

He was too anxious before, he didn't bother to take a closer look, and when he thought about it at this time, Fang Cai Kou walked very strangely, crooked, his head lowered, his hands stiff at his sides, like a living dead.

"Coco, Coco, where is Wuge, what happened to you?"

Kou was paralyzed on the ground as if she had lost her soul, and there was no trace of gleam in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" he helped Koukou to her feet.

I saw her lips closing together and muttering, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and Mo Xingran couldn't hear it clearly, so he held his breath and approached her head.

"I... With the Holy Maiden.. Lost. ”

How can I get lost?

"Where did you get lost?" he asked.

"I'm with .. The Holy Maiden is lost..."No matter how Mo Xingran asked, Coco was always in a sentence.

So, Mo Xingran concluded that Coco had lost her soul!
