Chapter Eighty-Nine: Ali Awakens
I never expected to see the portrait of the Demon Dao Patriarch here, which means that he has been to this secret realm before, and from the perspective of time, there should be this possibility.
The Heaven Swallowing Demon fell in the middle of the Chaos Era, and is said to have been killed by the Nine Heavens Xuannu and several Heavenly Gods.
After the establishment of the Immortal Dao, the Nine Heavens Xuannu gave the entrance of the Heaven Swallowing Demon to the Immortal Dao Patriarch, and since then the entrance of the Heaven Swallowing Demon has become the secret realm of the snowy region used by the disciples of the Kunlun Immortal Dao Ancestral Court for trial.
Although this entrance is in the Kunlun Ancestral Court, with the unpredictable powers of the Demon Dao Patriarch, it is still very easy to enter.
Seeing the portrait of the Demon Dao Patriarch, I understood why he brought up the theory of bloodline, because he had been here and seen the power of bloodline with his own eyes.
As for the Immortal Dao and the gods, they must also know the existence of the bloodline, but because this involves the taboo of the Heavenly Dao, they dare not bring it up and can only be attributed to the aura.
And the Demon Dao Patriarch has no taboos, and he can say whatever he wants.
When I recovered from the shock, I heard Alley say to me, "Let's go, you have seen the portrait too." My grandma said that you would leave today, and she had something to say. ”
I folded the scroll and placed it on the shrine and followed Ali out of the temple.
The animal skin scroll is just an ordinary picture scroll now, and I can't sense any of the aura of the Demon Dao Patriarch from it. Maybe he once left a divine thought in it, but the divine thought has dissipated.
On the way, Ali said that the scroll had been hanging in their house before, and that she had seen it countless times since she was a child.
The reason why she rescued me that day was that she felt that I was very similar to the person in the portrait.
This image naturally does not refer to the facial features, but as the Buddha said, the temperament is very similar.
"Did your grandma tell you who the person in the portrait is?" I asked.
"Nope. Grandma only said that this is Engong, the Engong of our Dongyi tribe. ”
Back at Alley's house, her aunt was already waiting for me.
Unlike normal days, today she changed into a beast armor that she only wore when she was fighting, and her face was painted with oil paint.
"Have you seen the scroll in the temple?" The woman asked me.
"Hmm."
"That animal skin scroll was handed down from our ancestors and has a history of more than 3,000 years."
"Do you know who the person in the portrait is?" I asked the question again.
"The people never said his name, only that he was as great as our ancestors." The woman said.
"He's a great man indeed." I said.
"Our ancestor was able to shoot down nine suns in the sky, what merit can he compare to?" Ali asked, tilting his head.
"Yi shot the flood and the desolation, and saved the people from fire and water, and my Demon Dao Patriarch passed on the six ways to give sentient beings the opportunity to cultivate. Which do you say is greater? ”
"I don't know." Ali thought for a moment and said.
Heroes must be placed in the same era to distinguish between superior and inferior.
The so-called times create heroes, and in the flood era when the human race was in turmoil, Daozu would not preach. And in the chaotic era when the Heavenly Dao was deceived and perverse in the Dao Ancestor, there would be no heroes like Hou Yi. As for Hou Yi's shooting down of nine suns, it may not be true from folk myths and legends. "The clansmen only know that I wiped out the Chiseltooth Beast Clan in a battle ten years ago, but they don't know how a weak female stream like me could have been without the help of the person in the portrait
Awaken all the Houyi bloodlines. The woman said.
Not everyone has the Houyi bloodline, and not all of them can be awakened, and some can awaken a very small part. The more you awaken, the stronger you become.
Then the woman told me what had happened.
After the Chiseltooth retreated, the woman was saddened by the tragic death of her husband and her people, and sat at home with Ali in her arms and wept.
When the woman was crying sadly, the Demon Dao Patriarch Divine Thought, which was forbidden in the animal skin scroll, manifested into a human form and suddenly walked out of the scroll.
Her husband was the patriarch of the Dongyi tribe at that time, and the animal skin paintings in the sacrificial temple have been kept in their home.
The woman was astonished and asked him if he was a human or a ghost.
The Demon Dao Patriarch did not answer her words, but told her that the descendants of Hou Yi did not believe in tears.
The woman said, "The Dongyi tribe is about to be wiped out, and who will protect us?"
The Demon Dao Patriarch said that you can protect it yourself. Then the Demon Dao Patriarch stretched out a finger and pointed it at the woman's eyebrows, and the woman only felt a roar in her head, and she instantly lost consciousness.
When the woman woke up again, she felt that her whole body was filled with endless courage.
Pick up the bow her husband left behind, order her people to make arrows for her, and the next day go to the Chiseltooth Beast for revenge. "Ever since I met you, I've felt like you're like him. He saved us when our people were in the most dire situation, and you passed on the method of cultivation to us. I know you're leaving today, and I want to ask you for one thing before you go. "Woman
He looked at me with burning eyes and said.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"I want you to take Ali away."
The woman said that in fact, after so many years, their people had already seen that this was not the desolate world they had lived.
When the aura here is depleted, this world will be destroyed.
I understand her thoughts, but I can come here with the help of the power of the magic circle, and if I want to leave in the future, it will also rely on the teleportation talisman given to us by the Kunlun Immortal Dao, and a teleportation talisman can only take one person out.
What's more, even if I can take Ah Li out, outside is the territory of Kunlun Immortal Dao, they won't allow me to do this, and this kind of thing has never happened in history.
If the magic weapon materials were good, a living person as big as Ah Li would not be able to hide it at all.
"What can I do to get her out?" I asked.
"No living creature here can be brought to the outside world, but you can take Alley with you."
"Why?"
The woman didn't answer my words, but looked at Ali with a gentle look in her eyes.
"Child, when you were born, the whole forest whispered, and countless voices shouted your name. Alley ......"
Alley's reaction was peculiar, and the look on her face became more and more confused as the woman's words grew.
And, as the woman kept chanting Alley's name, I felt that Alley began to radiate a divine glow.
Along with it, there is also a faint divine might.
This kind of divine power makes me feel surrendered.
This reminds me of the scene when Jiang Xueyang invited the gods to descend to earth in the Huiji Temple, and the mirror image of the wind god gave me the same feeling.
I began to feel that Alley's figure had grown taller before my eyes, and that it was only a skinny twelve-year-old girl, but it gave me a spiritual feeling of surrender to all beings.
I even felt that she was more majestic than the god of wind.
The woman was still chanting Ali's name, and then the door and window opened without wind, and I saw a large number of people from the Dongyi tribe gathered outside.
With oil paint on their faces, they fell to their knees and chanted Ari's name in their most pious voices.
Not only were they chanting Ali's name, but I could hear the whole forest whispering.
There were countless voices in the wind, each reciting Ari's name.
Ali walked out of the room and outside, looking up at the sky in a daze.
The sky was obscured by trees, and the sun, moon and stars could not be seen in the dim valley bottom forest.
However, soon a light appeared from Alley.
The light is soft, like the dawn of dawn.
Seeing this soft brilliance, the people of the Dongyi tribe began to weep.
I understand the meaning of Alley's name, Alley, the light of dawn, the dawn of life.
I know that the will of the primeval demon god who was sealed in Hou Yi's bloodline by the Heavenly Dao has awakened in Ah Li.
It's called the Demon God, but I don't feel the slightest evil from Ali. Becoming a king or defeating a king, all of them are demon gods under the heavens.
The newly awakened will, although sacred, is so fragile.
It's like a green light in the dark, which will be completely extinguished if you are not careful.
Alley's eyes were clear and bright, full of compassion.
"I've been to this world before." Ali said.
I was able to suppress my emotions, but when I heard her say this, I suddenly burst into tears.
I thought of the Demon Dao Patriarch in the soul coffin, but he stepped out and walked towards eternal silence.
The primeval demon god in front of me, who was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, can still awaken with the will forbidden in the bloodline, but I will never be able to see the Demon Dao Patriarch. For the man who once preached the Six Realms and left countless indelible marks in the Three Realms, how much I want to hear him say: I have been to this world before.
