Chapter 873: Bright Light
"It's so dark in here, we're all a little nervous." The old man explained gently, with an apologetic tone in his tone.
"Humph!" Four, who was walking at the back, snorted coldly, displeased with this group of useless burdens.
"We've lost our magic, and there's no way to light the light." The monk also heard the disgust in No. 4's tone, and felt a little helpless in his heart, but he used a more gentle tone, hoping to offset the resentment in No. 4's heart:
"People just can't see the road, so it's just not fast."
They are believers in the 'light' faction, and in the midst of darkness, they also need a 'light' to guide the way, so that they can maintain their original intention and continue to move forward.
"Song, I hope you don't mind." In the dark, the old man's voice was hoarse, but it seemed extraordinarily sincere:
"They're all here for their faith, that's why they're stuck here."
The monk was actually a little worried that Song Qingxiao would give up.
Her origins with the Four are too mysterious to be like a 'newcomer' selected by the Federation to assist them.
Since entering the Misty Forest, both of them have shown their superior strength.
In comparison, the existence of the Six Saints and the Nineteen Believers, whose strength had dropped too much, was indeed too cumbersome.
In such an underground labyrinth, it is easy to lose the direction of people, and at the same time, people's beliefs and hearts will be swallowed up by darkness little by little.
Song Qingxiao and No. 4 didn't seem to be people who had a firm belief in the Divine Court, and the task of sealing the 'Moon' sage again was also what the saints needed to do.
Although the two sides had a verbal agreement in the Valley of the Fallen Dragon, in the final analysis, the monk also knew in his heart that Song Qingxiao did not necessarily have to help the saints complete their tasks.
This verbal agreement has no binding force or effect on her, especially under the premise that she has great power, and the saints have lost the initiative and the right to speak on this matter.
From Four's increasingly impatient demeanor and tone, the monk was aware of this.
So from the time he entered the grotto to the present, even though he was already exhausted, he gritted his teeth and did not stop, for fear of adding trouble to Song Qingxiao, and then making her dissatisfied.
"Please don't be disgusted with us." The monk's tone was almost cautious, and even despite his status as a saint, his pleading tone at this time was still sympathetic.
Even the believers, who had been venting their fears loudly before, fell silent when they heard his words, as if they were extremely ashamed.
"Is it too dark?" Song Qingxiao quietly listened to the monk after saying these words, and asked.
Her tone remained unchanged, her voice was cold, and the monk could not tell if she was annoyed when she asked.
He speculated uneasily, and only after a long time did he answer with a sigh:
"Yes."
After saying this, the monk added:
"Song, I'm also afraid of black silence." It may be because Song Qingxiao did not reprimand loudly, nor did he show obvious impatience like No. 4, so at this time, the monk who was a 'bright' saint calmly expressed his inner fear.
"Okay." Song Qingxiao answered coldly, and as her voice fell, in the direction where she spoke, a halo suddenly flashed, and the darkness was instantly dispelled.
A small cyan lamp with a large bowl mouth was held in her palm, the lamp body was in the shape of a blooming lotus petal, and a purple flame was clustered among the cyan lotus leaves, bringing light to everyone.
In the dark environment, this bit of light is extremely precious, Song Qingxiao's cold and white face was illuminated by the light, she slowly raised her drooping eyelids, and stared at the monk in the crowd who was already hunched back:
"And now?"
Her expression didn't look gentle, not even different from her previous cold and detached expression.
There was no pity or sympathy in her tone, she seemed to have done a trivial thing, there was no impatience, no disgust, and no complacency because she had lit the light, and she regarded herself as a savior.
The flame in the small cyan lamp didn't look like a big mass, but it was surprisingly bright, and the halo it brought dispelled the darkness that shrouded it.
The bright light of the lamp flame formed a halo of colorful light, illuminating her face as white as jade.
"Ah......h
"There is light!"
"There is light!"
"I see the light!"
When the silent believers saw this light appear, they were at first a little incredulous, and then they were ecstatic, and they turned their heads and shouted loudly to express their joy in their hearts.
The previously low morale suddenly became much more invigorated, and the despair that shrouded everyone's hearts was suppressed by everyone again with the appearance of this light.
The monk was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually became clouded with a layer of water:
"See—"
He seemed to be at a loss, and the ecstasy of the believers seemed to infect him, causing his lips to tremble, and the corners of his mouth to bend slightly, revealing a kind smile:
"Thank you."
He broke free of his arm from the swordsman's support, and after barely standing up straight, he pressed his chest with his hand and bowed to Song Qingxiao:
"This ray of light is so important to us. Song, thank you. ”
The believers who were still talking happily before also fell silent, and the elves and others did not make a sound, but at the moment when the monk saluted, they also lowered their heads, and made the same gesture as the monk, silently expressing their gratitude.
There was silence in the grotto, and everyone's expressions were almost reverent at this moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn, and even the fourth who was about to sneer, the moment he saw Song Qingxiao take out the cyan ancient lamp, the cold snort suddenly turned into a heavy gasp.
"To walk in the darkness, you need a light to guide the way." The monk sighed lowly, "It will give us hope and keep our hearts from getting lost in the darkness." ”
The monk paused for a moment, then whispered:
"I'm glad that you brought this light."
When he said this, he sighed completely from the heart.
The old man was immersed in a kind of emotion at this time, and his emotions were so strong that he could barely control himself.
So he didn't notice that as he said this, the black gas on the badge pinned to his collar became deeper and deeper, revealing the corners of his collar, and those red lights had been completely swallowed up by the darkness.
Song Qing nodded, and his gaze fell deeply on the monk's neckline.
The change that the monk didn't notice, she noticed immediately.
In fact, this is not the first time that this badge has undergone an anomaly, in the Fallen Dragon Valley, when the monk swore an oath, this badge had already undergone an anomaly.
At that time, the two crossed sword bodies on the badge seemed to leak ink, spreading out in all directions, forcing the red gas on the badge to disperse.
At this moment, the badge on the monk's neckline had turned black, and it was obvious that the badge had changed again in the time between the time from the Falling Dragon Valley to here.
She was about to look again, but Number Four at the back of the crowd couldn't hold it anymore.
His figure turned into an afterimage, swept to a distance a few steps away from Song Qing and stood still, staring at the green lantern in her hand with a greedy and somewhat fearful gaze:
"Chaos Blue Lantern!"
As soon as No. 4's voice fell, Song Qingxiao's pupils shrank, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Her cultivation was so powerful that she was killing like a substance, and she actually cut through the spiritual power of the No. 4 Protector, stabbing him in the cheek with pain.
"Such a divine artifact has fallen into your hands!" Number Four didn't seem to notice that her eyes were cold at this moment, but still maintained the posture of the previous probe.
The flames wrapped in the middle of several petals of green lotus flashed twice, and No. 4's eyes seemed to be dyed with a layer of demonic purple qi.
His pupils twitched twice with the flickering of the flames, his scalp tensed, and the ends of his hair stood on end, making his fiery red hair stand on its own.
"Huh." Song Qingxiao chuckled, laughing so hard that No. 4 stood upside down.
But with her smile, the terrifying murderous intent eased down:
"Where did you know about the Chaos Lantern?"
Song Qingxiao didn't answer the rhetorical question, and turned around as he spoke.
She temporarily dismissed asking about the change in the monk's badge, and instead prepared to extract some news from Four's mouth.
This person should also have a good background, not only does he recognize the Chaos Green Lantern, but his ability to summon firebirds can actually alarm the hidden Su Wu, which shows that his skills are not ordinary.
She had something to talk to Number Four at this time, and although the monk and the others were still very excited, they were also very knowledgeable, and they did not say anything more, but quietly followed her by the firelight, and the team continued to move slowly.
"......" No. 4 only felt that water vapor was pouring out of every pore on the top of his head, turning into beads of sweat, gradually converging in his brain.
Song Qingxiao's restraining of her murderous aura does not mean that her danger is reduced.
He regretted it in his heart at this moment, and the words he shouted out were simply dead or alive, and he got into trouble.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take at this time, and after being targeted by Song Qingxiao, he can't escape.
Her qi locked onto every corner where he might escape, and Number Four assured that if he made the slightest move at this moment, he would be killed by her.
"Ugh." He sighed as if he was fated, and the flamboyant red hair also seemed to have lost his spirit, and hung down dying:
"This is the Heavenly Spirit Treasure on the God List, will anyone else not know?"
No. 4 knew that he was not Song Qing's little opponent, so he didn't struggle at this time, pursued the principle of frankness and leniency, and confessed honestly:
"In the middle of the heavens, the Xuandu family is in charge of a 'book of heaven', which records the information of various treasures that have been circulated in the past 10,000 years.
The existence of the 'Divine List', Song Qingxiao had heard it from Su Wu's mouth, but it was the first time he knew that it originally belonged to the Heavenly Outer Heaven Family.
Since Number Four can say such a message, it seems that he should be very familiar with the outer heavens.
"Although there is a record of the god list, how do you recognize that the one in my hand is the Chaos Green Lantern?"
She pressed the doubt in her heart and asked again quietly.
As soon as he said this, Four's expression became a little strange.
seemed to be a little suspicious, and a little surprised, looking at Song Qingxiao's eyes, there was a suppressed feeling of forbearance like she was looking at 'Tu Baozi', but she didn't want to be discovered.
"Don't you know?" Number Four seemed to be very surprised, and instinctively asked rhetorically.
At this time, Song Qingxiao was asking No. 4 what he said, but No. 4 was not relying on the answer, but was testing her bottom.
When Song Qingxiao heard this, she raised her right eyebrow slightly, and reminded lightly:
"It's not time for you to ask."
When did "......" Four-Seven suffer from this kind of gas? According to his violent temper, he should rather die than give in at this time and turn his face on the spot.
"Why didn't you ask earlier?" No. 4 was really furious, and slapped his thigh with a 'snap':
"If you have a question, I'll answer it a long time ago!"
"......" Song Qingxiao looked at him silently, and No. 4 looked down as if he didn't feel her eyes, and said to himself:
"Don't you know, the Xuandu family is an outlier in the outer heavens."
Their own strength is not very good, and the reason why they can occupy a place in the outer heavens and establish a family clan is because of the special intelligence of their race.
"The Xuandu family has a lot of secrets, and there is nothing they don't know about the secrets, exercises, and some magic weapons of the nine great clans outside the heavens."
These people are just peeping backgrounds, selling intelligence, treasures, and all kinds of things, "they have many eyes and ears, they are very well-informed, they rely on the trading market, thousands of years of trading, they are very rich, they are famous for their own unwillingness to cultivate, but spend a lot of resources to promote the strong for their use." ”
No. 4 digressed as he spoke, "But it is precisely because they have a lot of resources and many masters who have come out at any cost, and their strength should not be underestimated." ”
Businessmen and people make money, coupled with the convenience of sometimes trading goods, and sometimes each family will be able to use their information, so the relationship between the Xuandu family and the rest of the world in the outer heaven is not bad, and it is quite popular.
"God List." Song Qing looked down at him and couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh." Number Four also reacted, and then said:
"On the list of gods, all kinds of legal information are recorded......"
"That's been said." Song Qingxiao interrupted his words, and No. 4 entered the topic with hatred:
"In fact, although the names of the treasures are only recorded in the list of gods circulating in the outside world, the Xuandu family has another more detailed 'Book of Heaven', which also has about the appearance, supernatural powers, promotions, and methods of restraint for the treasures recorded on the list."
This is the 'Book of Heaven' exclusive to the Xuandu family, in addition, there are also fabrications about the origin of the magic weapon, the master who has handled it, and the past military exploits.
"They even have clues about the final whereabouts of the treasures, and if anyone is interested in some ownerless treasures on the god list, they can also ask the Xuandu family for information with a lot of money."
"In other words, you recognized this Chaos Green Lantern by virtue of the news that you purchased it from the Xuandu Family?"
