Chapter 57: The Cave of the Red Lotus
At the end of the 374th year of the King Era, the winter solstice.
Jishita, Academy, Dusk
The winter snow has been flying for more than half a month, and finally stopped, and the snow from the branches of the trees melted into water and fell on the stone slabs along with the autumn leaves.
Guiguzi sat under the jacaranda tree, spreading out his hand-painted book and recording his experience in the dream world, which he has always been a habit.
He pondered for a moment, and took up a pen to record: What he saw and heard about the Demon Seed Cave and the Red Lotus Cave.
The Cave of the Red Lotus, preliminarily inferred, is located on a small island in the East China Sea, where the cave inhabits a cursed existence - the Demon Seed.
They wail day and night, and it is terrifying.
"The Ambitionist uses the flaming cave as a cage to feed the demon seed...... "Guiguzi stopped thinking about it for a moment and decided to write down the environment of the cave.
As long as you step into the cave, you can feel a strong movement, due to the influence of the ground movement, a large area of magma gushes out of the cracked cracks, and you will be continuously damaged when you step on it, so be careful when you move forward.
"There is only the blazing air, the scarlet demon seed full of caves, the flame worms that grow out of the cave, the demon seed that holds the lava stone pillar, and the strange mushrooms, the amethyst that grows along the rock wall, and the bones of the demon seed in the magma...... and a vista of a cave that is not clearly visible. ”
After a pause, he wrote it down again: Everywhere you look, it's scarlet!
"Poyoda?" Mengqi climbed down from the tree, holding a red fruit, and used a pile of snow to build a miniature version of himself.
He stopped writing and looked at it seriously for a while, and asked, "Mengqi, do you want to go to Chang'an with me to find her and ask her clearly?" ”
"Hmm~" Mengqi had fun and nodded.
"That's good, with you and me, she will also be aware of our presence." Guiguzi nodded and continued to recall, "The first level of the dream realm is the demon seed lair......
"When I met a delicate young master, I guessed according to the picture I saw at the first contact, it should be the son of Liu Bei, the lord of Rongcheng, ...... Liu Chan" Guiguzi frowned and thought about it, the young man who drove the strange mechanism said that if he couldn't defeat the three sages, this young master couldn't go home empty-handed. Find the primeval ruins and impress the master.
"His master seems to be the last mysterious person when he broke the gossip array of the wasted capital, I remember that he is known as the first genius in 10,000 years - Zhuge Liang!"
Another genius, heh, kind of interesting!
"Go ahead and meet a big man, who is the teacher of the Jixia School Palace-Lian Po."
The first meeting was very unpleasant, although it was a phantom, but he treated him as a suspicious guy and said that he had caught you!
Lian Po said that this is a cave where the demon seed lives.
The demon seed is a follower of the King of the Ring.
The king wanted the demon seed to replace the human race to rule the continent, but it was opposed, so there was the war of the Star Tower.
Since then, they have only dared to hide in the dreaded caverns.
Everybody fears them and loathes them!
In short, stay away from them.
Don't let people think you're in league with them.
"Tsk, who will be in the same league with the demon seed!" Guiguzi suddenly stopped writing and asked softly: "Those places we went to before were all dreams?" ”
On the top of the tree above his head, Zhuang Zhou, who was pretending to be asleep, opened one eye, "Yes, I think, you knew it from the beginning." ”
"The messenger also knew it, so she launched the teleportation array and left."
"If it were in reality, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with them...... Guiguzi said, "Sage Zhuangzi, your strength is very strong!" ”
"Mr. Guigu laughed, no matter how strong the power is, it is useless against the cleaning mechanism of the upper world."
"Hehe......" Guiguzi didn't say anything more, patted the butterfly parked on his shoulder, and continued to record.
"The second level, the Cave of Red Lotus, has a humanoid demon seed that can spell, this kind of demon seed that can speak human words, is a transformed human ......"
The only thing that is desirable is probably the desperate energy!
The one who sees one kills the other and lives to the end is invincible.
"Keep moving forward, and you will meet the nobleman of the Qi Kingdom, Zhong Wuyan...... Her story is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. ”
Yo, someone has come to dedicate themselves again~~ Handsome! Elder brother!
As soon as the woman with the sledgehammer finished speaking, she heard a fire rage coming from the end of the cave: Roar, ah, ah! The howl.
But the woman named Zhong Wuyan was very excited, she said, "Wow, the shaking is so powerful!" It's time to get really excited! ”
After the first contact, Guiguzi thought, isn't Yan Fu a low-profile version of the red tyrant?
After solving the anger of the fire, Zhong Wuyan said, "You must have heard the story of a stupid big man telling you about the demon seed, right?" That's just to coax children. ”
From her narration, Guiguzi learned that the demon seeds in this cave were not as simple as the remnants of the king of Xu, they were raised!
A long time ago, someone raised demon seeds, so that they could be used to breed monsters!
It's ironic that they once nearly ruled the continent, but now they are at the bottom of the food chain...... Hehe!
Guiguzi asked her how she knew, the woman left very chicly, leaving a meaningful word, how did my sister know? It doesn't matter, my sister has been chasing them for a long, long time......
Zhuang Zhou caught the falling red leaves and said, "She once swept away our savings, of course, it doesn't matter if I don't have any savings, but Mo Zhai and the old master were robbed of a lot of money...... However, many years later, she gave us Jixia as a reward. ”
Guiguzi stopped and closed the picture book, "Yo, it sounds like a woman like the wind?!" ”
Zhuang Zhou smiled and nodded, "Ah, with the power of a powerful demonic path, she has cultivated a decisive style, neither subtle nor dragging her character, and she is a rare strange woman." ”
"......" Guiguzi looked at him strangely, a little surprised.
"What you see is what she used to experience in the cave, those words are with the so-called summoner, as for who the summoner is, I don't know, and I didn't ask in detail."
“…… I remember, you used to call Hirsch a summoner? ”
"Well, she's indeed a summoner... No, strictly speaking, the people of the Ark are summoners. Zhuang Zhou said, "The so-called sacred unfair trade is to pray for strength from the gods. ”
"There is a price to be paid for using the power of the gods, and as for what it is, you can ask the messenger, she has not made a deal with the demon seed before."
"Huh?!" Guiguzi was stunned, Hirsch had given the demon seed power?
Zhuang Zhou narrowed his eyes, "Sure enough, she didn't tell you much!" ”
Guiguzi pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, "We've only known each other for less than half a year, it's normal!" ”
"But for the old people who have been reunited for a long time, half a year is more than enough!"
"The deceased? Do I know her? ”
Zhuang Zhou smiled weirdly, "Now, Mr. Guigu, do you believe in the past life and the present life?" ”
Hearing this, Guiguzi subconsciously clenched his staff.
On the winter solstice of 374 in the era of kings, at dusk in the Jixia Academy, Zhuangzi, one of the three sages, told me the true face of the art of reincarnation-the consciousness copying technology of super-intelligent lifeforms!
