Chapter 332: The Immortal Tree
"They have become monsters, just like the original demon king Chiyou and his cannibalistic subordinates. Overnight, lives were devastated, and rivers of blood flowed in several large tribes. Even after all these years, I still can't forget that red night......"
Tears appeared in the corners of the old monk's eyes, and he said, "Even if the dragon god makes a move, he can't stop this disaster. Eventually, those who turned into monsters left the tribe. ”
"At that time, the dragon god was several wives. Among them, his second wife is named Sister-in-law, who has the beauty of the country and the city. Unfortunately, Hihime also consumed the Immortal Fruit, and like those people, she turned into a monster with the body of a tiger tooth and a leopard. The dragon god used the means of the heavens to suppress her, but he could not reverse the mutation in her. She had to be trapped, and after that, the dragon god wanted to destroy the undead tree, which he believed was the source of the disaster. ”
"However, the immortal tree also has the power of immortality. They are invulnerable, their branches are broken, their roots are broken, and they cannot be removed. In desperation, the dragon god could only ban the place where this tree was planted. ground, let the alien beast Zhu leave the guard, that is the peak of Langfeng! ”
It is true: "In the outside world for so many years, I have been thinking about this matter. In the end, I guessed a rough idea, these immortal trees, as well as immortal fruits, are probably extracted by the dragon god from Chiyou's genes and then improved. Otherwise, how could the people who ate the immortal fruit become like monsters, except for us losers. ”
"And in that bloody night, Chiyou's head disappeared in that chaos, but it's a pity that the dragon god was concerned about Chang Ji and those who fell into the demon at that time, and he didn't have the strength to track down the whereabouts of Chiyou's head." "After that, the dragon god spent a lot of effort to catch those demonized people as much as possible. And those that cannot be caught are also removed, so as not to cause trouble. In the end, these demons were suppressed by the dragon god and put in one place, and in order to prevent them and his concubine from escaping, the dragon god decided one thing. ”
The old monk picked up a stone next to him and said lightly: "Seal Kunlun." ”
Li Yuanqian's whole body was shocked, it turned out that this was Kunlun Du. The reason for its existence.
"However, Ryujin wants someone to help him, and he has another thing to do, he needs someone to manage Kunlun for him, and keep an eye on Chang Ji and those demons. So we, along with a group of people who volunteered to live in Kunlun for a long time, disappeared from the original world along with the dragon god. ”
"The dragon god closed Kunlun and took away all the strange beasts and strange trees, so the outside world returned to the wild era of drinking blood and hair. Including me, ten witches who have attained immortal bodies but have no magical powers, the dragon god has passed on all the knowledge to us. Through us, the knowledge was passed on, so that the current Wu clan was born. ”
Li Yuanqian asked: "What about the dragon god, if he closed Kunlun, then he should also be here?" ”
"No, he's gone." The monk shook his head and said: "He went to find a way to reverse his demonization, not only left Kunlun, but also left this planet." ”
"What? Ryujin ...... Leaving the Earth? Li Yuanqian looked at him in disbelief: "He, how did he go?" ”
"Then I don't know, I'm not his old man. It's just that the dragon god, just in case, made witch weapons before leaving, as well as jade weapons that ordinary witches such as Bai Ling can use. With these things, as well as the knowledge that our Heavenly Witches have, the Wu Clan has always lived in Kunlun. Until one day, I couldn't stand this kind of iron cage-like life, and I was extremely yearning for the outside world, and finally drove me to leave Kunlun and go to your world. ”
The old monk looked at Bai Ling: "So after I left, what happened to Kunlun, even I don't know." ”
Bai Ling stood up and said softly: "You guys have rested enough, if you have enough, just keep walking, there is still a long way to go." ”
He nodded and stood up. Li Yuanqian also stood up, pulled the monk's sleeve and said, "The sister-in-law you just talked about and the mother-in-law she said should not be the same, right?" ”
"It's the same person, the mother-in-law is the honorific title of the later people, which means the mother of heaven and earth, after all, she is the wife of the dragon god, and it is right to be respected in this way. It's just that after she turned into a monster, she was killed by the dragon god town. Press. At the foot of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. The power of the grandmother is completely different from that of those demons. The dragon god also said that once she was born, Kunlun would fall. For this reason, Ryujin ......"
Bai Ling suddenly turned around and said, "Master Wu Luo, to an outsider, you have revealed too many things, right?" ”
"You little girl can speak, what kind of outsider, when I met the monk, you didn't know where it was. Right, monk. Li Yuanqian lightly bumped his elbow.
Bai Ling's two eyebrows immediately raised.
The old monk hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Bai Ling is not wrong, the secrets of the Wu clan, it is indeed not appropriate to reveal more, after all, you are not from our Wu clan." But Bai Ling, I think after so many years, the Wu Clan also needs to change. There are no more black witches in this, and the witches are still being occupied, which shows that some of the stereotypes of the witch clan have to be changed. Although Li Yuanqian is a good man, he is not bad and capable. I brought him to Kunlun in the hope that with his hand, I could bring new vitality to this world. ”
Bai Ling snorted and said with disdain: "Just him? ”
Li Yuanqian was about to step forward to theorize, but the monk stopped him. Seeing that he couldn't even glance at him, Li Yuanqian snorted and muttered, "I don't know you like a little girl." ”
Bai Ling also snorted coldly, turned around and left. hurriedly pulled Li Yuanqian, and the two quickly followed.
"Monk, I'm still halfway through what I said just now, go on." Li Yuanqian said.
The old monk looked at the figure of Bai Ling in front of him, lowered his voice and said, "When the dragon god left, he said that if his mother-in-law was born, Kunlun would probably be finished." At that time, I am afraid that only people other than Kunlun will be able to resolve this disaster. ”
"Why?" Li Yuanqian asked.
"The reason is very simple, our Wu clan has inherited knowledge and witchcraft from the dragon god. But if even we can't deal with my mother-in-law, it can only mean that the dragon god's set doesn't work. In this way, after Kunlun is the only world, people from the outside world who are completely taking a new path may have a way. That's why I brought you to Kunlun. ”
"Old monk, did you know that something would happen to Kunlun?" Li Yuanqian said strangely.
He shook his head and smiled: "How can I have such a great ability, okay." I am from Kunlun, and if there is any change in Kunlun, I will feel it. A few years ago, I felt that Kunlun had a connection with the outside world, but when I rushed to the west. When I hid, I didn't find anything. But I know it's definitely not a delusion. Someone opened the passage from inside Kunlun, and it was obvious that something happened in Kunlun, so someone came to the outside world for help. So I stayed in the West. Hide, will meet you. ”
Li Yuanqian chuckled in his heart, and what he felt was that the witch corpse was born a few years ago. In other words, the witch corpse came out of Kunlun by himself and wanted to save people from the outside world. But for some reason, he died, and he became a dry corpse. After that, he was taken away by the people at the observation post, so he didn't miss it.
"But it's not enough to be an outsider. The dragon god also said that the reason why the grandmother is more powerful than those demons is that in addition to the immortal fruit, the grandmother also ate one thing. ”
"What's that?" Li Yuanqian asked.
He shook his head: "The dragon god didn't say it, and probably he didn't want to mention it." In short, if the mother-in-law is born, if the witch clan cannot cope, they must turn to the outside world for help. And take it to the Tianzhu Jade Ruins, and then have to take a remnant sword left by the dragon god, so that he can hope to subdue his mother-in-law. On that sword, the dragon god left some means, but whether it will succeed or not, even the dragon god can't say. He only said, break and then stand, defeat and then success, sacrifice and sanctification, depending on the number of days. ”
After hearing this, Li Yuanqian couldn't help but say: "Bullshit, it depends on the number of days, what's the use." Wait, if you dragon gods have this kind of means, why don't you witch clan try it, and you have to pull an outsider to do it? ”
"I couldn't figure it out before. But now, I have some ideas. The old monk said, "It probably has something to do with the origin of the dragon god." ”
"What is the origin of the dragon god?"
"Mortal." The old monk said: "Before the dragon god became a god, he was also a mortal like us. So I think that the so-called means on the remnant sword should involve the genes of the dragon god. Only the genes, or the original genes, are the same, will trigger the means left by the dragon god. But we Wu clan can't do it, we don't need to talk about witches these days, our genes have long been changed. It's the other clansmen who have been taking Kunlun's exotic flowers and fruits for many years, and the original genes have become different. That's why the dragon god asks us to ask for help from the outside world. ”
"Hearing you say this, could it be that if you touch the dragon god's means, you can be like him, a mortal saint?" Li Yuanqian said in his heart, the dragon god is the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor is the awakened one. If the so-called means he left behind are triggered, he will be able to transform ordinary people into awakened ones? Is there really such a cheap thing?
He looked at it and sighed in his heart, I'm afraid the old monk didn't expect that if his mother-in-law was really born, he, a person from the outside world, should not be useful. If the dragon god needs an outside mortal to be able to trigger his means, then he will definitely not be qualified. After the transformation of the knights, the genes of human beings have changed, and how can mortals become saints?
What's more, it depends on the number of days to enter the sainthood, which is simply a gamble.
Thinking like this, Li Yuanqian didn't stop and followed the two people in front of him into the tunnel. I don't know how long he walked, but he suddenly noticed that the front was gradually brightening. Not only is the light getting brighter and brighter, but even the temperature in this tunnel is gradually rising. The old monk wiped his sweat as he walked, and said to Li Yuanqian: "The Red Fire Corridor is almost here. ”
When Li Yuanqian came out of an exit, it was as if he had walked into a vast space. In front of the three of them, there were stone pillars rising from the ground, high and low, staggered, extending forward. On either side of the pillars was a void, with shadows of fire flickering below, and from time to time flames erupted from the abyss, rising and falling between them. At this time, Bai Ling jumped onto the nearest stone pillar, and then jumped to the front one. It seems that this so-called red fire corridor is a group of pillars as a road, and you need to pass through it.
And if one is not careful, he falls into the abyss, and he will be burned by the flames below.
No wonder the old monk said that if it is not necessary, no one wants to pass through the Red Fire Corridor, this is a dangerous road!
"Let's go, what are you rubbing?" Bai Ling stood on the platform of the stone pillar, crossed his waist and shouted. The fire here is blazing, and she has long been unable to use her dagger as illumination, and the girl inserts the dagger into the knife bag on the side of her thighs, which has a sassy and heroic posture.
Seeing her looking at herself as if demonstrative, Li Yuanqian snorted from his nostrils, jumped past the old monk to the stone platform, raised his hand and said, "Please." ”
He shook his head, thinking that the two of them were still more energetic, and the old monk felt a slight headache.
The spacing between the stone platforms is not consistent, most of them are a few meters, and some are a few meters away. However, for Li Yuanqian and Bai Ling, such a distance is nothing. Even Bai Ling, who is an ordinary person, can easily jump a distance of four or five meters after years of training, and if she is allowed to run a distance, she can even jump ten meters.
But for the old monk, it was difficult. Those who are short distances are better to say, if they are more than three meters, the old monk will be in danger when he jumps. This is also a helpless thing, although the Heavenly Witch is in a high position in the Wu Clan, but they have nothing to do with force, according to the truth, the Wu is actually the role of a teacher and a doctor. When it comes to force, they are not even as good as samurai. Heavenly witches only have immortal means when they have witchcraft in their bodies. As for the fact that he didn't know where to leave the witch weapon, he was just a sturdy old man now.
For this reason, sometimes Li Yuanqian had to jump over with him on his back. After a few times, Li Yuanqian didn't bother to let him down again, so he jumped on the stone platform with him on his back.
"Take a break."
Bai Ling stopped, she was trained, and her physical strength was far beyond ordinary people, but she was jumping all the way in a row, and under the very high temperature environment of the Red Fire Corridor, the loss of physical strength was much faster than that of a Taiyi warrior like Li Yuanqian.
Li Yuanqian's face also had sweat stains, but his breath was normal. Seeing Bai Ling sit down, Li Yuanqian put the monk down, took a few sips of water from his backpack, and asked, "How far is this corridor?" ”
Bai Ling rolled his eyes beside him and said, "You be quiet." ”
"That's not good, the old man even speaks softly, what's the difference between that and a sissy." Li Yuanqian deliberately spoke loudly.
Unexpectedly, the old monk covered his mouth and said, "Here, you should listen to her." The Red Fire Corridor is different from the previous tunnels, and it is indeed not appropriate to speak loudly. ”
Li Yuanqian pulled down his hand, glared at him and asked, "Why?" ”
"There's firebeasts here, and those things feed on fire, and they're very territorial. If there are outsiders in the area where they are feeding, those guys will attack you like crazy. If you don't want to be hunted down, it's best to keep your mouth shut. Bai Ling took out another jade berry from his arms, threw one into his mouth and chewed it.
Li Yuanqian scratched his head and said, "If you don't say it earlier, I won't compete with you if you say it earlier."
