122. The fire is in the gossip furnace
On the dragon's back, in order to make it easier for the dragon to fly, Taishang Laojun's mountain-like body shrank rapidly, turning into a normal human body.
Although this Divine Monarch is a woman, she is also about the same height as Wang Chao, more than 1.8 meters.
With a military uniform, it seems that she has not yet left the ancient battlefield, looking forward to flying, it is really heroic and powerful.
Wang Chao sat on the back of the dragon and looked ahead.
At the end of the mist, there is a palace located in the foothills of the deep mountains, pavilions, gardens and small ponds, there are a lot of things, very ancient.
The golden light of the fiery eyes flowed, and Wang Chao saw that the rich Yellow Spring Hell Qi under the abyss was flowing in the direction of that palace like a surging river, and the closer it was, the higher the concentration of demonic qi.
The boundaries between yin and yang are blurred here.
The difference between life and death is diluted here.
The demonic energy of hell is scattered in the world, and the souls of those who are corrupted by these demonic qi will not return to the underworld after death.
To a certain extent, the Earth's Five Elements Mountains are like "small earthies" located on the Earth.
Is it the god who guards the passage between the Yin and Yang worlds...... Wang Chao thought in his heart, the Taishang Laojun in the ancient times was here to block the hellish breath pouring from the Yellow Spring.
"What are you wondering about?" Taishang Laojun suddenly asked.
"I wonder if these things can't be completely wiped out?" Wang Chao said. He was referring, of course, to the hellish gas that was invisible to the naked eye.
"Completely wiped out? How can it be! Taishang Laojun shook his head again and again, "You, a kid from a modern city, should know better than my antiques from tens of thousands of years ago: the matter and energy in this world will neither be created out of thin air nor disappear out of thin air." Since these infernal breaths are objectively existent, how can they be completely destroyed? ”
Wang Chao was a little stunned for a while, he didn't expect Taishang Laojun to say these words in his mouth.
Not long after, the saber-toothed dragon flew to the palace in the foothills of the Five Elements Mountain and landed.
Taishang Laojun jumped out, and Wang Chao followed.
He thought for a moment and said, "Even if you can't make these hellish breaths disappear out of thin air, it should be possible to convert them into something else, such as ordinary vitality in nature, or heavenly breath, right?" These demonic qi scattered among the earth's human beings are always a disaster. ”
Taishang Laojun raised his eyebrows, "You are a mortal with little ability, and your tone is not small." Do you mean to blame God for inaction? After so many years, let the breath of hell endanger the world? Just with your offensive remarks, I can directly kill you, and even let your soul be sentenced to hell by the Demon King after death, and you can't be reborn, do you know? ”
The momentum of the goddess Jun was raised, oppressing Wang Chao's heart.
Wang Chao shook his head, not affected by Taishang Laojun's momentum. "I'm just saying what I think. If I inadvertently offend the goddess, then I apologize. ”
His words are very frank, and he has to say everything.
Taishang Laojun looked at him carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Sun Wuhan, that kid, has accepted a good apprentice." ”
Wang Chao pretended to be surprised and said, "Do you know my master? ”
Taishang Laojun said: "He is here with me as a guard, do you think I know him?" ”
Wang Chao: "Then can I meet him?" ”
Taishang Laojun rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Don't ask me about this!" I asked him to be my guard, not to make him a slave for me. You can't see him, of course, it's up to Sun Gohan if he can't see you. ”
Wang Chao nodded, okay.
"Come with me." Taishang Laojun walked towards the depths of the Five Elements Mountain Palace first, "By the way, as for the attribute of transforming the breath of hell you said, it is indeed feasible in theory, but I'm sorry, although I am also an immortal, I don't have the ability to modify the breath from the heavenly realm at will." ”
This Taishang Laojun seems to prefer to say "Heavenly Realm" rather than "Yellow Spring"? Wang Chao followed behind, noticing Taishang Laojun's habit of speaking.
"Besides, there are too many arrogant and stupid fools in this world, if they become demons because of their evil thoughts, it is their own doing, what does it matter to me?" Taishang Laojun said with a smile, "These people have become demons, and they can't go to the underworld after death, in fact, if you think about it carefully, isn't that a great good thing?" ”
Wang Chao squinted his eyes and understood. "Do you mean that the souls of the demons wander in the world after death, just to save people like them who are willing to fall into reincarnation again and harm the world?"
Taishang Laojun snapped his fingers, "Bingo, that's it." ”
Wang Chao shook his head slightly, he also thought that the legendary Taishang Laojun, who saved the world, would be a god who had mercy on the world.
Now it seems that there has never been a hero in this world who is born like a saint. Most of the heroes are just created by the times. Monkey King: Did they kill villains such as Frieza and androids because they had a strong sense of justice and wanted to save the world and be heroes? No, more often than not, it's just that you run into those villains, and since you run into it, then you can fight, and since you fight, of course you have to win. It's as simple as that.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Taishang Laojun seemed to save the world and guard the Five Elements Mountain. But is it out of compassion for the common people? Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't. Anyway, now the Taishang Laojun in front of Wang Chao doesn't seem to care very much about the hellish aura that may cause mortals to become demons scattered in the world. Did she slowly become such a godly psychology after tens of thousands of years? Or was it the same character tens of thousands of years ago? Wang Chao had no way of knowing.
Sun Wukong and the Piccolo Demon King are endless, where is it because the Piccolo Demon King vows to rule the world and spread fear, he is purely to avenge his good brother Klin, and later there are more blood feuds of the Turtle Immortals and others. Taishang Laojun saved the world back then, Wang Chao thought to himself, it was even possible that there was a little ghost who ran from hell to the world and killed her dog, and then the goddess overturned the Five Elements Mountain in a rage......
Because the other party is a god, he naturally feels that the other party has the obligation to guard the world and clean up the breath of hell? Wang Chao thought about it carefully and found that this kind of idea was indeed very strange. The immortals of the Dragon Ball world are more just normal people who have taken up their posts, and they have never had any obligations that they must shoulder......
"Here we are."
Taishang Laojun's words made Wang Chao retract his thoughts, and it turned out that unconsciously, he had followed the other party to a vast hall.
The wall is the mountain, and in the most important position of the room, there is an extremely large Ding furnace.
When the furnace is covered, the hot air is steaming and wafting into the sky.
Below, a raging fire burns.
"Go get some firewood." Taishang Laojun said behind Wang Chao, the original huge saber-toothed dragon also followed, hearing Laojun's command, the saber-toothed dragon left in a hurry, and after a while came back with a pile of thick firewood, one by one into the fire under the huge Ding furnace.
Wang Chao thought to himself, when this dead dragon fought with me, he was arrogant to death, but now he is well-behaved.
Wang Chao looked at the steaming heat above the Bagua Furnace for a while, and it is said that the heat of the Bagua Furnace is the passage connecting the two worlds of Yin and Yang, and I don't know if it is true or not. After a while, his fiery eyes were fixed on the blazing fire under the gossip furnace. He saw countless rivers of dark golden hell converging here, and it seemed that this was the source.
The so-called Taishang Laojun guards the two worlds of yin and yang, probably for this reason.
"It's a gossip furnace." Taishang Laojun noticed his gaze and said with interest, "Tens of thousands of years ago, there was a gap between the earth and the heavenly realm, and the breath of hell leaked to all parts of the earth. It was with this gossip furnace that this gap was successfully plugged. ”
"I see." Wang Chao nodded.
"As for what you just said about clearing the hellish breath...... I really can't transform their attributes, but it's still possible to send them back to the Celestial Realm. Taishang Laojun said with a smile, "However, that needs to be temporarily removed from the gossip furnace." Once the Bagua Furnace is removed, the gap between the Earth and the Heavenly Realm will reappear, maybe the demonic qi pouring into the world this time will be even more terrifying, and maybe I can send back all the demonic qi that is now scattered on the earth before then. How, do you think you need to do it? ”
Wang Chao stared at the fire of the gossip furnace for a while, and shook his head wordlessly.
Why is this goddess a little cautious...... He said in his heart, as if he wanted to come back with verbal revenge. It's not as atmospheric as my Tays!
At this time, Taishang Laojun's body became bigger again, like a giant, and the originally huge gossip furnace was like a big water tank of an ordinary person compared to her size.
She lifted the lid of the gossip furnace, and suddenly a thicker heat rose.
"It smells so good." Taishang Laojun said happily, and the saber-toothed dragon who added firewood also raised his head humanely, and leaned towards the side of the gossip stove, and was pushed away by Taishang Laojun with a slap, "Burn your firewood obediently." ”
The saber-toothed dragon hung its head and continued to add huge firewood to the gossip furnace.
"Oh yes, do you have hot pot again?"
At this time, a voice that Wang Chao was extremely familiar with came, and he suddenly turned his head to look, but saw an old man in cloth wearing a flower-faced mask and a golden halo on his head, walking over.
"Master!" Wang Chao couldn't help but shout, and ran over to hold the old man's hand.
After holding it, Wang Chao immediately determined that Sun Gohan's body was no different from before.
Body temperature, heartbeat, or even strength levels didn't change.
The only difference from his life is really the floating golden circle of light above his head.
The old man in cloth took off the flower-faced mask, and sure enough, the face of the white-bearded Sun Gohan was revealed, he looked at Wang Chao suspiciously, and after a while, he was surprised: "It's you, Wang Chao?" You kid, how did you get like this? ”
Wang Chao was also stunned, he looked down, and then suddenly reacted, he was still a demon dragon posture.
Because there is no difference in mental state at all from usual, do you not realize it at all after getting used to it? A thought flashed in Wang Chao's heart, he tried to see if he could take back this strange demon dragon transformation, but there was really nothing he could do for a while, so he said helplessly: "Master, I don't want to either, it should be fine after a while, right?" ”
In the last sentence, he looked up and asked Taishang Laojun, who was tasting soup with a huge spoon.
"Probably." Taishang Laojun didn't care, and replied casually. "Isn't it too salty?" She tasted the soup base and pondered.
Sun Gohan approached and touched the strange appearance of Wang Chao's scales, and shook his head, "It's a little ugly." ”
"Master." Wang Chao was helpless.
Sun Wuhan smiled: "You are a person with a wife, it's not okay to be so ugly." ”
Wang Chao muttered: "If you change back, you will be handsome again." "It should be able to change back, right?
"However, your qi has increased a lot like this, Ah Chao." Sun Gohan commented pertinently, "I don't know what Wukong's strength is now, but you shouldn't be weaker than him, right?" ”
Wang Chao shook his head and said, "Even if you catch up with Wukong's progress, it's temporary. Master, have you also seen the speed at which Uncle Bardock's combat power has increased since his resurrection? Once Goku reaches adulthood and matures physically, he will be able to quickly replicate Uncle Bardock's progress, and it is estimated that no one in the entire universe will catch up with Goku by then......"
It's not easy for Sun Gohan to refute this kind of thing. Because that's the truth! At the moment, Wang Chao's realm, his judgment is only higher than Sun Gohan. Moreover, Bardock's progress and Sun Wukong's talent can be seen by anyone who is not blind, not to mention people like Sun Gohan and Wang Chao who are very familiar with them.
"Besides, I don't think this is a normal way to improve my strength." Wang Chao looked at his dragon claw hands and complained: "People are not ghosts, they are not ghosts, they are not like the right road." ”
"Are you done talking about the old days? It's time to eat. ”
Taishang Laojun's voice sounded above the heads of the master and apprentice, holding a pair of giant chopsticks in one hand and a huge empty bowl in the other, banging urgically.
"Since you're here, let's eat together," Sun Gohan blinked, "Lord Anning's gossip furnace hot pot is very delicious." ”
As he spoke, he jumped to the edge of the top of the gossip furnace, and the giant Taishang Laojun handed him an empty bowl with his fingers. This bowl is already very small for the current Taishang Laojun, but compared to Sun Wuhan, it is still exaggerated. Below, Wang Chao also used flying techniques to take off, landed next to Sun Wuhan, and stepped on the edge of the top of the gossip furnace. The gossip furnace is very large, so this "pot side" is as spacious as a corridor, even enough for Wang Chao and Sun Wuhan to sit down.
Taishang Laojun used giant chopsticks to scoop something out of the gossip furnace for Wang Chao and Sun Wuhan and put it in their respective bowls.
Sun Gohan grabbed his own chopsticks and enjoyed them very familiarly.
Wang Chao tried to eat a little, and it was indeed delicious.
The wood-burning saber-toothed dragon raised its head and stared at it.
"Alright, don't pretend to be pathetic." Taishang Laojun also threw it a big basin, fished out some food for it, and even got a giant cold beer out of nowhere, "I know you love to drink, and I will reward you with a bottle this time." ”
The saber-toothed dragon was so happy that he didn't care about the hot pot in the basin, picked up the giant beer bottle and drank it wildly.
Wang Chao only felt that the Dragon Ball world was so big that there were no surprises, even if the strange-looking saber-toothed dragon was forgotten, he still loved to drink.
"Wukong should be able to eat happily here."
After eating for a while, he found that there was not much shortage of hot pot food in the big bowl in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking of this, Wang Chao said to Sun Wuhan beside him: "Wukong will definitely come here in the future, and he doesn't know how happy he will be to see you when the time comes." ”
Sun Gohan smiled and nodded, his face was as kind as before.
"By the way, boy, you came to my Five Elements Mountain, shouldn't it be just to see Sun Gohan?" Taishang Laojun, who was eating happily, suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "But you don't seem to know that Sun Wuhan is on an errand with me before this." ”
Wang Chao put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Someone once divined for me, saying that I would come to this Five Elements Mountain to find it in the future when I became stronger. ”
Sun Wuhan suddenly remembered that when he was alive, Wang Chao did mention the matter of divining his mother-in-law.
"I see, you're here to get stronger." Behind the heat of the gossip furnace, Taishang Laojun's face was blurred, but the corners of her mouth could be seen curling, "It's the divination mother-in-law who divined for you, right?" How strong have you become in her divination? ”
Wang Chao looked at the heat rising from the furnace and whispered to himself: "Probably, the kind of strength that blows the earth with one punch......"
"Haha!" Taishang Laojun laughed, "This is not an ordinary strong mile!" ”
"Yes......" Sun Gohan was helping out, and to be honest, he felt a little unrealistic.
"In that case, then I'll help you."
Taishang Laojun said, his huge palm passed through the heat of the gossip furnace, grabbed Wang Chao, and threw it into the boiling gossip furnace.
Wang Chao only felt that his eyes were suddenly dark and he lost consciousness.
