Chapter 3: The Dawn of the Gods
There was a moment of silence in the woods, but the mysterious shadow had no intention of leaving, but turned its head to a bush behind the left, and its eyes flashed with a terrifying light.
"I've seen enough of the play, do you want me to pull you out?" The voice is cold and majestic.
"Haha, you found out." The branches and leaves shook for a while, and Qi Lu walked out of his hiding place, although he had a grinning expression on his face, he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.
The terrifying blow unleashed by the black shadow just now was extremely powerful, but it did not damage a single grass or tree in the forest. can control his own power to such a perfect extent, let alone in modern times, even in the heyday of the gods, I am afraid that I can't count a few.
Within the Three Realms, whether they were deceased, active today, or secluded, all the names of the gods were quickly filtered in Qi Lu's mind, but the final result disappointed him, because none of the gods could match the mysterious person in front of him.
The only thing Qi Lu can be sure of is that the strength of the mysterious person is no less than that of the five god kings who have long since passed away!
When Qi Lu was thinking about how to answer, his unusually strong right hand stretched out from the black shadow's empty body, and it firmly grasped Qi Lu's chin and lifted him off the ground.
"Little one, when did you learn to peek at other people's privacy?"
His arrogant tone was the same as when the God King and the Heavenly Emperor had spoken to him before. To make matters worse, Qi Lu found that his body was suddenly unable to move.
"Who the hell are you?" It was just a few words, but Qi Lu felt that he had run out of strength to eat. "Your voice, I seem to have heard it somewhere"
"It doesn't matter to you who I am at the moment, but I hope to have a better time next time we meet." The black shadow said to him with a slightly disappointed tone, "You are so depraved that you even want to meddle in the affairs of a snake demon!" Don't forget who you are! ”
Snake demon, isn't that what happened to Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian not long ago? Qi Lu's eyes shrank suddenly, and in an instant, that mysterious sentence exploded in his mind: "Is this the human race you want to maintain, despicable and pitiful, where is the shining point that Hou Yi once said?" ”
It turned out that it was you, who had been secretly observing my every move, but I didn't notice it in the slightest! Qi Lu felt a feeling of suffocation that he had never felt before.
The black shadow suddenly let go of his hand, and Qi Lu suddenly collapsed to the ground, surrounded by countless withered petals.
As if he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, Qi Lu clenched his fists, and with the sound of swinging before the battle, he stood up in a dashing posture and aimed the golden rainbow sword at the powerful enemy in front of him.
"Ho, don't be nervous, I don't want to kill you."
Although the dark shadow responded with a playful taunt, the atmosphere was still tense.
"You know what?" The shadow said, "You are about to hear a parable. ”
"What oracle?"
"I can't tell you exactly what it's about." The shadow looked confused, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "If there was one word to describe it, it would be five words." ”
"Those five words?"
"Dawn of the Gods."
"What?! That's impossible. Qi Lu still didn't believe it, but he put away his sword, but his hand was shaking uncontrollably.
"Aren't you excited to hear that?" The dark shadow's voice returned to coldness, "Or is it that the day and night with the human race make you forget the noble status you once had?" ”
"That glorious era has long passed, buried in the dust of history and forgotten by history" Qi Lu looked extremely sad, and suddenly he became excited again, "Tell me, whose prophecy is this?" ”
Qi Lu's question did not receive any response, and the black shadow had mysteriously disappeared in front of his eyes.
Winter was falling to the top of the distant mountain, Qi Lu retracted his lonely eyes, and felt infinitely melancholy.
The words of the mysterious man were lingering in his mind. Although this is a miracle that I have longed for all my life, I still can't control my emotions after hearing it with my own ears.
Now, from the depths of the body, from the depths of the darkness that even I dare not believe, hope is quietly appearing, and it has walked the long staircase to the softest part of the heart.
When Qi Lu regained his mind and returned to the Kunlun office, he was surprised to find that there was no one in the office.
"Hey, what's the fuss?" It was Lao Wu who spoke, and he had just returned from outside.
"Where did the beauty go?"
"I don't know." Seeing Qi Lu's anxious face, Lao Wu said disapprehantly: "Don't worry, little girls always have a heart that can't sit still, maybe they are bored in the office, so they go out shopping."
But Lao Wu couldn't finish his words, because he saw Qi Luzheng pointing at Ding Xiaolan's desk, and on the dark gray computer monitor, there was a petal, the color was shocking red, like fire and blood.
But Ding Xiaolan didn't notice that the danger was coming, at this moment, she was walking on an endless highway, and suddenly it was dark between the sky and the earth, and she couldn't see her five fingers.
"Help me!" There is a woman's moaning/moaning in front of me.
"Who's talking?" Ding Xiaolan felt that this female voice had an indescribable sense of horror.
The light was too dim to see clearly, and it seemed to be a woman in a red silk shirt lying on the ground, her long hair hanging low, covering her entire face.
The woman was reaching out to her, making a gesture for help. At the same time, he read in a resentful voice: "Ten years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, and forget it." Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. ”
The hand was an unusually dead white, as if carved out of marble. Ding Xiaolan only felt a chill down her spine, and she was hesitating whether to pull the woman, when suddenly the sky flashed, and white light illuminated the woman's body.
"Ahh Ding Xiaolan finally couldn't control her emotions and screamed.
This woman has no shadow in the light! Not only that, but only the hand that called for help was intact, and the rest of the body was a skeleton without flesh and blood!
"Ghost, ghost!" Ding Xiaolan realized that she had encountered a ghost, she groped towards her body in a panic, and was disappointed to find that she didn't bring any spirit runes out of the house.
"Hey, hey!" "Haha! "The whole world was filled with the laughter of ghosts crying wolves at the same moment.
Ding Xiaolan is very scared, although she has also experienced a lot of supernatural and strange things, but every time she has Qi Lu and Lao Wu by her side! But this time, he was alone, and what was even worse was that he didn't have any runes and magic weapons on his body!
The strange laughter suddenly disappeared, and the strange skeletal woman disappeared with it.
In the distant sky, there was a sudden light in the sea of inky clouds.
A blue serpentine bolt of lightning pierced the sky, but the thunder was delayed for several minutes before it could be heard.
Ding Xiaolan wanted to escape from this ghost place as soon as possible, but she couldn't move, because by the light of lightning, she could see clearly that there was a square bluestone paved road under her feet. Each slab is inlaid with a human head, and they contain almost all human expressions, but no joy, whether they are pain, or sorrow, or despair!
There was an indescribable smell of blood in the air, which made Ding Xiaolan's body tremble. She has been with Qi Lu for a long time, and she has learned to discern the essence under some supernatural appearances. For she sensed that it was not the smell of blood coming from the wound, but the breath of death coming from the Netherworld.
"If you're scared, come to me." A gentle female voice came from behind him.
Ding Xiaolan's face turned green with fright, and the person who could talk to her at this time couldn't have anything other than the ghost.
She shuddered and looked back, and was surprised to find that with herself as the tipping point, the whole world had become two very different worlds. Behind him is a bright and brilliant world, and in front of him is plunged into hellish darkness.
At this time, Ding Xiaolan heard a creepy sound from the dark world, like the barking of a beast that pierced the eardrums. Then you can faintly hear the sounds of fighting on the battlefield, followed by the terrifying screams of women.
"This is a hell of a gate, and if you hesitate, you'll die." The gentle female voice rang out again.
Ding Xiaolan looked back again, and the scene in her eyes was enough to make her unforgettable for the rest of her life.
The vast land is full of bright red flowers, which are strange flowers that will never appear in the world. Among the butterfly's wing-like petals are golden-bright stamens, but the weak branches that support it do not grow a single leaf.
What's even more surprising is that these buds sway gently in the wind, exuding a fragrance richer than any perfume in the world, and Ding Xiaolan only feels that she is going to be drunk to death in this charming fragrance.
After hesitating, Ding Xiaolan stepped into this sea of flowers.
A fragrant wind blows, and the sea of flowers rises and falls like waves, and in the center of it, countless petals rise with the wind, and then gather together to form a delicate lotus platform.
On the lotus platform, the light is magically merging, and finally forming the shadow of a woman.
"It's you," Ding Xiaolan was speechless in surprise. This woman once appeared in Kunlun affairs with a pipa in her hand, and almost killed Qi Lu.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to save you." The woman in red smiled, but Ding Xiaolan felt that the way she smiled was more terrifying than when she didn't.
"It's time to introduce you to who I am." The woman said, "My name is Manzhu, and like your two companions, we were both once part of the Kunlun Divine Clan. ”
Manju? Ding Xiaolan frowned, the name sounded like a foreign name, and she couldn't remember any god with such a strange name.
"When Hongmeng first bloomed, before the gods dominated the earth, there were four kinds of fairy flowers growing in the heavens and the earth, and I was one of them." Manjoo's elegant tone was full of pride and conceit. "It's just that I'm different from the other sisters in that I live on the banks of the Lethe River in the underworld."
"Are you the god of the underworld?" Ding Xiaolan's teeth were fighting.
"Sort of. To put it more accurately, I'm the watchman. ”
Ding Xiaolan wanted to ask, but she suddenly heard the dead world behind her begin to move.
