Chapter 19 Cultivating the Snake to Relieve Confusion
In order to show their sincerity, Qi Lu and Lao Wu first described everything that happened after entering the valley to Xiu Snake in detail, and Xiu Snake sighed after listening to it, and then completely believed that Qi Lu had no ill will towards him, so he put forward his own request, that is, Qi Lu and Lao Wu should swear not to say today's things.
After receiving their assurance, Xiu Snake told them what had happened to him.
It turns out that he, like Gale and Chisel Tooth, has been awakened by the Emperor of Heaven by the Celestial Emperor, and then resurrected by mysterious forces into this valley of death.
To Qi Lu's surprise, Xiu Snake also received the same order as those two, that is, to welcome himself and Tianwu to the fairyland. The only difference is that the three of them are waiting for Qi Lu's arrival in different locations.
He couldn't help interrupting Xiu Snake's words and said, "But you didn't wait for me at the designated place according to the gods, but hid in this place. ”
"Because I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid you'll kill me again."
Hearing Xiu Snake's answer with a red face and a heartbeat, Qi Lu couldn't help but laugh a little, and then he heard Xiu Snake continue: "I have already died once, so I cherish this life very much." ”
"I understand your thoughts." Qi Lu asked him: "But if you disobey the gods like this, aren't you afraid of being punished by the gods?" ”
"Originally, I was also scared, so at first, I followed orders and waited for you at the designated place for a few days, but when I was bored, I found this stone house, and I changed my mind."
"Didn't you build this stone house?" Qi Lu couldn't help but be surprised, this was something he hadn't expected.
"No, it's a deserted house that has never been inhabited. When I saw that the house was fully furnished, I tidied it up and used it as a place to avoid trouble. After taking a sip of tea, Xiu Snake said, "In the few days I was waiting for you, I found out that the Protoss would patrol the surrounding area once a day at a fixed time, so I dug a cellar under the house. Whenever the Protoss patrolled the air, I hid in this cellar and hid my body, so I was always safe. ”
Qi Lu pointed to the hole in the ground and said, "This is the cellar you dug?" ”
"Yes, I'll take you down and see." Xiu Snake stood up and extended an invitation.
When he went down to the cave, Qi Lu saw that there were two beds in it, and he immediately knew that they were resting in this cellar at night, and at the same time saw that the walls of the cave around him were painted with charms, and after a little careful look, he recognized that it was a demon hidden spell that could prevent the spread of demon qi from being used by the demon clan.
He couldn't help but admire the snake cultivator in his heart, you must know that the guards of the god clan patrol are flying in the air, using their divine sense to feel the evil aura below, and then judge the specific location of the demon and ghost, and the snake cultivator does this, those guards are naturally difficult to detect.
After everyone returned to the stone house, Qi Lu asked Xiu Snake a key question. "Can you tell me who the god who gave you a parable?"
"He is the messenger of the gods, the beast." On this issue, the snake cultivator did not swallow and spit out.
"Beast! We also came here after receiving his prophecy. Qi Lu turned cold, "So, you haven't seen His Majesty himself, or have you not felt his old man's breath?" ”
"It's true that I haven't seen the true face of the Emperor of Heaven." Xiu Snake paused for a moment and said, "But when that mysterious power was resurrected, I felt the existence of the Heavenly Emperor. ”
"Can you be sure that Your Majesty and not any other god? For example, the five god kings, or other gods with superior divine powers? ”
"I shouldn't be mistaken." Xiu Snake replied in the affirmative, and then expressed his judgment. "When I was just cultivating into a human body, I had met the Emperor of Heaven by chance, so I can be sure that he was the one who resurrected me."
Qi Lu bowed slightly, and then Lao Wu suddenly interjected and asked Xiu Snake: "I have something unclear, please explain my doubts for me." ”
"Please."
"You said that you hid here because you were afraid of death, but have you thought about it, if you take us to the fairy realm safely, you will be able to obtain the identity of the Protoss and achieve the immortal golden body of eternity. With such a tempting reward, why don't you do it, but instead lie dormant here? ”
"Of course, first of all, I am afraid that you will be hostile to me, and secondly, ......" Xiu Snake hesitated for a moment, and then said what he really thought in his heart. Although I am convinced of the fact that the Emperor has resurrected me, it does not mean that I believe that the myth is true. ”
"Are you suspecting that the myth you have been given by the beast is false?" The clever Qi Lu immediately understood the snake's worries.
"Yes, this guy is full of nonsense, he is a famous liar, I can't help but guard against it."
"He's a lie." Qi Lu hesitated and said, "But as far as I know, he has conveyed His Majesty's myths to the letter, and he has never mixed a superfluous word. ”
"But have you ever thought about it, if the Emperor of Heaven had never given such an order, wouldn't the beasts be able to trick us as they please?"
Qi Lu couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, he had to admit that the speculation of cultivating the snake was quite reasonable.
Lao Wu then asked him: "I ask you again, even if the beast deceives you, once the dawn of the gods comes, it will change the heavens and the earth." Even if you dodge it now, you will still fall into a catastrophe from which you will never recover. Haven't you thought about this serious consequence? ”
"Of course I thought about it." Xiu Snake said disapprerovingly: "But what you said about Tianwu Great God is set in advance on the basis of establishing the truth. If this was a hoax from start to finish, why should I follow the liar's orders? ”
"This, this ......" Lao Wu couldn't answer, and there was no usual sharpness in his tone.
"In fact, even if all of your Protoss are resurrected, this present world will not be destroyed in a flash." After cultivating the snake, he glanced at Xiao Li and said, "For a creature like you and me, whose lifespan far exceeds that of humans, we are accustomed to seeing the vicissitudes of life, so we can naturally understand the changes in the Heavenly Dao better. ”
"I agree, but what do you want to say about it?" Qi Lu asked, his attitude becoming a little modest.
"In my opinion, the history of mankind is nothing but a microcosm of the Protoss. The changes of dynasties in the past dynasties are just a change of new masters, and this world has never been destroyed, but it is just a period of recuperation and recuperation. ”
"Are you saying that when the dawn of the gods comes, the heavens and the earth will remain the same?"
"I think it should be. Don't say it's the Emperor of Heaven, isn't the phrase that your Protoss often talks about that God has the virtue of a good life? If you really want to destroy the present world and create a new world, then the creatures of the old world will be burned, isn't this a slap in the face, and then what prestige will be based on the new world? ”
Qi Lu couldn't make a sound after listening to it, knowing that he had made the mistake of judging people by their appearance, don't look at the image of Xiu Snake as a big and rough man, but when it comes to analyzing things, it is logical and rigorous, so that people can't find faults.
Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xiao Li got up and said, "It's not early, you guys talk slowly, I'll go cook the deer first, and wait for everyone to talk while drinking." ”
Qi Lu grabbed him with a smile and said, "Don't worry about this beforehand, it's a big deal to wait for me to cook with you." I still have a lot of things I want to ask you, such as how do you ......" He wanted to say why Xiao Li lived with this monster, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that it was a little rude, so he changed his words and said: "Why are you with Xiu Snake?" ”
Xiao Li then sat back in the chair and spoke to Qi Lu.
It turned out that when Xiao Li was working as a waiter in Shangri-La, Meng Huai suddenly appeared in front of him one night, saying that he wanted to borrow his identity to complete a task. Although Xiao Li was shocked, he still didn't dare to disobey the order of the gods and agreed to him, so Meng Huai used his divine power to take him to the fairy land and settle down.
After listening to Xiao Li's narration, Qi Lu found that he actually knew that the name of the fairyland was Mirror Flower Water Moon, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "How do you know that it is called Mirror Flower Water Moon, have you ever been there?" ”
"Yes, I also lived there for a while." After speaking, he pointed to the sacred mountain outside the window and told Qi Lu that this was the mirror flower and the moon.
Qi Lu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked him: "That's a forbidden place that our gods can't easily enter, how can you be qualified to live there?" ”
"Didn't I tell you just now, it was God Meng Huai who brought me there." Xiao Li didn't realize the importance of the mirror, but smiled and said something to Qi Lu that shocked him even more. "It's not just me, but everyone in our village has come to the mirror."
"What!?" Now it was Qi Lu's turn and he couldn't sit still, and even Lao Wu was surprised. Both of them looked at each other, because they both knew that the people in the village had mysteriously disappeared, but they didn't expect that these villagers would arrive before them.
Qi Lu took a deep breath, his dilated eyes condensed, and then he settled down to listen to Xiao Li continue to talk about what happened to him in the mirror.
According to him, it was a cold world, but there was not a trace of snow or ice there, and on the contrary, the ground was full of gorgeous flowers. It's a wonderland with stunning scenery that can't be compared anywhere else in the world. Moreover, the palaces built in the fairyland are all made of gold bricks, jade pieces are tiles, and even the materials of the pillars are precious metals that he cannot identify.
Qi Lu groaned and said, "In this way, it is very similar to the image of fairyland described in ordinary ancient books. By the way, how many gods have you seen there? ”
"There are a lot, there are beautiful fairies who bring us food and drink every day, and the soldiers who guard them are also tall and mighty gods, and they often fly in the air, which makes me so envious."
"Then have you ever seen the god Wu Gang?"
"I don't think so."
"And who are the gods you've seen, do you know their names?"
"Wonderland has a ban on asking the names of fairies and soldiers." Just when Qi Lu was disappointed, Xiao Li said another sentence, which immediately made him uneasy. "But I heard from the villagers that the owner of the fairyland is Fairy Heng'e."
Fairy Heng'e is the honorific title given to her by the gods after Chang'e became the master of Guanghan Palace, originally Qi Lu was still suspicious that the fairyland that Xiao Li said was another place, but his sentence was to tell Qi Lu unmistakably that the fairyland he arrived at was the mirror flower and water moon.
