Chapter 175: Foolish Dreams
I was just trying to test it, knowing that the odds of the cloaked man being able to meet my requirements were almost zero, but I wanted to take a risk. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
A person does not wear a mask all day for no reason, either because he cares a lot about his appearance, or because this face carries a big secret and cannot be easily revealed.
I think it's the latter.
I vividly remember the night of the first day of the third lunar month, when the white sedan chair was reflected on the water, and after the sedan curtain was lifted, the man in the cloak sitting inside wanted to lift the mask.
It wasn't the shadow of the cloaked man, it should be the one in the white palanquin who wanted to reveal the secret to me, but was stopped by the cloaked man at a critical moment.
This matter has always been in my heart, and I will cooperate more and more with the man in the cloak in the future, and my fate is often in his hands, and I can't always feel at ease if I don't figure out his final identity.
But as soon as I asked, I was knocked with an elbow by the ninth aunt on the side, and the warning eyes shot over, shaking her head at me.
The cloaked man's gaze at me immediately became gloomy, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura, and he became angry.
I'm not afraid, although I'm being restrained everywhere at the moment, but on the other hand, they also ask me, we are mutually beneficial, and I don't have to worry about them attacking me before I deal with the yin and yang things.
After all. There is no second seven-trick exquisite heart in the world.
But the man in the cloak didn't really get angry at me, the anger on his body slowly dissipated, and then said: "I know that you all care about my face, and even more about my identity, I can understand this, but Bai Li, now is not the time, when the time comes, you will naturally understand everything, I will not harm you." “
"Yes, Bai Li, don't ask too much, you just need to understand that everything we are doing now is on the right path. It's all about understanding the suffering of all people, and you will be proud of what you are doing now. "Jiugu also helped the cloaked man lobby me.
I was just tempting, since the other party refused to say, there were steps I went down: "I'm just curious, if I don't look at it, I won't look at it, and we'll talk about it in the future." “
Jiu Gu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the cloaked man said: "Bai Li, it is very important to go to the elf clan this time, I need your full cooperation with Mo Yanping." “
"Full cooperation? Can he believe it all? "I beg to differ.
But the man in the cloak said: "When it comes to the things of the yang world and the underworld, he can believe it, but he can't figure it out, just ask me." Anyone who comes to the Demon Realm must stop it immediately and notify me, understand? “
I frowned, "How am I going to contact you, I'm not so free after I get there, right?" “
As soon as my words fell, a true qi had already condensed in the cloaked man's hand, and his five fingers opened towards me, and a huge suction force struck, and the next moment, Lu Lao Wu fell to the ground.
After coming back from Jiangcheng, I subconsciously didn't regard Lu Lao Wu as my attack, so I never used him, he has been staying in the bloodstone to cultivate, but I didn't expect to be caught by the cloaked man this time.
He lay on the ground, didn't dare to get up, and looked up at the cloaked man, with a slight fear in his eyes.
As soon as the cloaked man stretched out his hand, a bloody light flashed, stabbing at Lu Lao Wu's eyebrows, I subconsciously wanted to stop it, but Jiugu pulled me and stopped me.
As the blood light stayed between Lu Lao Wu's eyebrows, a black flame-shaped mark slowly appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and the soul began to turn into an entity at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and when the blood light disappeared, the black flame mark also disappeared, hidden in Lu Lao Wu's body.
Lu Lao Wu stood up and bowed to the man in the cloak, and the man in the cloak said: "Now that I have incorporated you into my subordinates, you are my person, everything is subject to my orders, and when the overall situation is stable, I will not treat you badly." “
Lu Lao Wu knelt down for the man in the cloak with a plop, and he was simply grateful: "I will definitely behave well, and I will not let you down." “
My brows are tightly locked, my blood contract with Lu Lao Wu is so vulnerable? One moment it was my person, and the next moment it became someone's dog?
With a wave of the cloaked man's hand, a black light rushed towards Lu Lao Wu's head, and said: "Cultivate according to the mental method, ensure that your exercises are advanced and fast, this time Bai Li goes to the elf clan, you go with you, one must ensure that she is thorough, and the other must listen to her at any time, understand?" “
"Understood." Lu Lao Wu nodded.
The cloaked man flung him another token: "This is a small group of my forces in the underworld, and it can be called upon at critical times." “
In the final analysis, Lu Lao Wu is just a touch of soul, and his cultivation level is the best among all souls, but after all, he is not tolerated by the underworld, and can only make waves in the yang world, and now, the man in the cloak is going to reuse him, once the man in the cloak gains power, he will follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, which is something he never dreamed of.
Before, he wanted to enter the hall of Moxian Night and cultivate hard in order to achieve the right result of cultivation, but with his identity, it is really more difficult to reach that kind of realm than to ascend to the sky, and now following the cloaked man is his best destination.
I feel that Lu Lao Wu's fortune has really bottomed out, he used to do a lot of evil, in order to be the overlord of the walking corpse, how many people have been harmed, this guy should go to the eighteenth layer of hell is not an exaggeration, since he was baptized by Tianchi water, he is dedicated to goodness, and his fate has really been reversed.
Lu Lao Wu was also overjoyed, and he promised that he would complete the task.
Jiu Gu stretched out her hand and hugged me, and said, "Bai Li, you can go with peace of mind, I will take care of it, don't have any worries." “
I nodded: "Jiugu, you have bothered a lot about everything here in Changbai Mountain, I hope we can reunite again as soon as possible." “
"Definitely." Jiu Gu hugged me tightly, very reluctant.
I breathed a long sigh of relief, looked around the entire Changbai Mountain, raised my eyes to the sky, then lowered my head and said, "Let's go." “
??
With a wave of the cloaked man's hand, there was a puff of smoke around us, and the whole space seemed to be distorted, and we could feel ourselves moving, and there was the sound of the wind roaring in our ears, but I couldn't see where I was or which way I was going.
The whole process lasted for a full hour, and my whole perception of the outside world was that the temperature was getting lower, and my mood was also getting lower.
After going to the elves, I was about to face the underworld and the demon world, as well as the restrictions imposed on me by the elves. I was never free again.
At that moment, I even thought that if only time had stopped, there would be no strife, no constraints, nothing would have been left unchecked, but it would have been impossible after all.
When the black smoke cleared and the surroundings lit up, I closed my eyes, got used to it, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw the Eight Treasures Pagoda standing there not far away.
The Eight Treasures Pagoda is exactly the same as the one I appeared in my dream, but when I look at it up close, it feels more old than what I saw in my dream, and the feeling of suffocation and dullness is more real.
"Ali, you're finally here." As soon as I stood still, Mo Yanping and Yun Sheng appeared in front of me, and Yun Sheng called me excitedly.
Compared to him, I seemed a little indifferent, and said to Mo Yanping: "I'm here, what are you going to do next?" “
After the man in the cloak sent me over, he left quietly, and I didn't go around in circles, I came up and went straight to the point.
Mo Yanping was not in a hurry: "Bai Li, I'll take you back to see first, and let's sit down and talk about other things." “
"Yes, Ah Li, since you are here, your heart will settle down, you can't eat a bite to become a fat man, we have to think about it in the long run." Yun Sheng echoed.
As he spoke, he stepped forward and reached out to take my hand, but I immediately put my hand behind my back, staggered away from him, and walked towards the Eight Treasures Tower.
Yun Sheng's face froze. I had no choice but to follow.
After entering the Eight Treasures Tower, I was surprised to find that the center of the Eight Treasures Tower was empty, only the one on the highest floor was enclosed, the whole Eight Treasures Tower had a total of eighteen floors, in the shape of a cone, and there were eighteen rooms on the bottom floor, going up, decreasing in turn, and there was only one room on the top floor.
Standing in the center and looking up, I could see circles of fences, and at this time, around the fence, standing, lying on their stomachs, or entangled, all strange creatures looked down at me.
Mo Yanping walked over, stood beside me, and said: "Bai Li, do you see, these are all the elves left behind by our elf clan, all of them have reached adulthood, and the youngest one is already more than ten thousand years old, if it weren't for that curse, our elf clan would be very lively, but now." Every year our numbers are declining dramatically. “
"Without the birth of new life, the Three Realms and Six Realms are still keeping bringing the best elves from among us one by one, and if this continues, the base camp of the elf clan will soon become an empty city."
"Bai Li, now only you can save us."
"Don't!" I stretched out my hand to stop him from continuing, "I'm here to cooperate with you, as for how to save your people, that's something you should plan for, it has nothing to do with me, remember, I'm just cooperating." “
"Bai Li, from the moment you step into the territory of the elf clan, you should complete the role transformation, you are already a member of the elf clan, we can't escape, and you are the same, we must twist into a rope, instead of being vigilant and guarding everywhere." My statement obviously upset Mo Yanping, and he started beating me.
I smiled and didn't speak.
Yun Sheng interjected and said, "Let's eat first, let's talk at the dinner table." “
Mo Yanping led me to the restaurant, there were only three of us at the huge table, the meal was very rich, I picked up the chopsticks, paused, and asked, "Where is Yunshuang?" Don't we eat together? “
I know that mentioning Yunshuang now is simply adding to the blockage here, and I also understand that Yunshuang is more likely to be a ghost or a ghost now, but I can't forget the way Mo Xuying begged me before he died.
If I can save Yunshuang, I still want to give it a try.
Yun Sheng's chopsticks were stunned, and Mo Yanping was relatively calm: "Yunshuang's mental state is very poor, to put it mildly, it is crazy, and if I lock him up, he will not come out and be embarrassed." “
Oh, sure enough.
I didn't continue to ask, I held the dishes with chopsticks and chopsticks, and the food was very fragrant.
Halfway through the meal, the dinner table was quiet and weird, and finally Yun Sheng couldn't hold it back, and asked, "Ah Li, don't you ask, why did you want to come to the elf clan this time?" “
"Isn't it in exchange for Feng Yi?" I'm playing dumb.
Yun Sheng shook his head: "Ah Li, we need you, you know this, we need you to help us get back the imprisoned tens of thousands of elf eggs, and lift the curse of the elf clan." “
"First of all, you have to make it clear that this is not my business alone, you have to tell me your plan first; Second, you must at least tell me who took those elven eggs, and who cursed you; Finally, if you want, you can also tell me the true identity of the one in the Xuanji Pavilion. "I took them one by one and threw the questions back to them.
Yun Sheng stopped talking, and glanced at Mo Yanping, it was obvious that in this family, Mo Yanping was the absolute controller.
Mo Yan put down his chopsticks slowly, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at me, he was also hesitating how much information he could reveal to me.
After a while, he said: "Back then, when the Demon Realm attacked our elves, we asked the Underworld for help, after all, we were devoured, and there was no benefit to them. “
"At the beginning, we did cooperate very happily, but as the offensive momentum of the Demon Realm became more and more fierce, coupled with the problems within the Underworld, especially among the people in power, I don't know why, their ambitions suddenly swelled, and they wanted to fight back."
"Bai Li, do you know what counter-killing is? Can you imagine what this counter-killing means to our elves? “
The demon world attacks the elves, the ultimate goal is the underworld, originally the underworld only needs to be defended, and the elves can keep the peace, but they want to kill the demon world, so they must first annex the elves clan.
Therefore, the situation at that time became a close tug-of-war, and the elves were the tipping point with the red rope hung, and no matter which side won the final victory, the elves would be torn apart.
They couldn't hide, they couldn't escape, and they became the biggest victims in this battle.
I suddenly felt pitiful for the elves.
Mo Yanping sighed and said: "We thought that the Demon Realm was our biggest enemy and the darkest existence, we subconsciously moved closer to the Underworld, but a counterattack tore all our dreams apart in an instant!" “
"When the demon world attacked the elf clan, in order to keep the more than 10,000 elf eggs that had not hatched at that time, we transferred all of them to the underworld to seek their protection, but the counter-killing began, and overnight, these young eggs became a sharp weapon for them to pinch our throats, no matter how we negotiated, they were unwilling to let go."
"At that time, as the great protector of the elf clan, I even knelt in front of them, but to no avail, that kind of despair, I can never forget it, I can be shameless, or I can be a cow and a horse for them in the underworld, but who would have thought that what I asked for was not for them to return the elven eggs, but for their further suppression."
"They cursed the elves, cursed the elves to have no more children, and they forced me to pretend to surrender to the demon world and go undercover for them, I went, but I became a double agent, because I knew very well that the underworld at that time was no longer the underworld I knew."
When Mo Yanping said this, he couldn't help but sneer: "I'm a traitor, I took refuge in the Demon Realm, opened the door of the Elf Clan, let the Demon Realm cross the border, and killed the Underworld, almost, it's really only a little bit short, and the Underworld was destroyed by the Demon Realm." “
I have dreamed of that battle more than once, it was the memory of the phoenix's soul to me, and I already knew the final outcome. It's just that I never thought that there were so many twists and turns in the story.
In this battle, Mo Yanping put down his dignity and became a traitor for the sake of his clansmen, do you say he is great? But in the following years, his actions and greatness contained too much selfishness and sin, but from the standpoint of his people, he can be regarded as a good leader.
"That war, so many years have passed, and the underworld is still the underworld. The demon world has been silent for so many years, and it is already ready to move, if it starts again, what our elves will face is likely to be the extermination of the race, I want to stop this war, and I want to take back everything that belongs to us, but it is too difficult. Mo Yanping stared at me and said, "Bai Li, you are my turning point, the only hope for our elf clan to survive and continue, as long as you help us get through the difficulties, I Mo Yanping will be a cow and a horse for you in the future." “
I hurriedly waved my hand: "I can't move you." “
"You don't believe me. I can swear. Mo Yanping raised his hand as he spoke.
I pressed down his hand and said, "According to what you said, your elven eggs are now in the underworld, and the curse must be lifted by the people of the underworld who cursed you in the first place. “
"No, it's not a negotiation, and if I could, I wouldn't wait until today." Mo Yanping hurriedly explained, "Bai Li, you still haven't figured out what I mean, the one in the high position of the underworld is ruthless and vicious, he won't give you a chance to negotiate at all, and to solve the fundamental problem, is to pull that person down from a high position!" “
Mo Yanping said in the end, word by word, every word came out of between his teeth.
And I was shocked: "You're crazy! That is also something that a small character like you and me can pull? It's a dream. “
"Therefore, we must cooperate with the one from the Xuanji Pavilion, if it weren't for him, I would never have evacuated easily on the first night of the first month of March." Mo Yanping said.
If he doesn't evacuate, on the first day of the third month, Changbai Mountain will definitely be in chaos, and the Demon Lord has already appeared.
And that night made the cloaked man's attitude change dramatically.
Why did the cloaked man and Mo Yanping both change their strategic direction?
When I thought about it slightly, I already had eyebrows, because of the white sedan chair!
I looked at Mo Yanping and asked very seriously, "Let me ask you, is the one in the white sedan chair the Hades?" You seem to be afraid of him. “
Mo Yanping also looked at me, his eyes were facing each other, his fingers were slowly tapping on the table, tu, tu, tu.
"Yes."
In the end, Mo Yanping gave me a positive answer, and he hesitated for so long to give this answer. Why so indecisive?
I tentatively asked, "He's not really Hades, is he?" More than 10,000 years ago, he occupied the magpie's nest, right? “
"No, he's the real King of Hades, but I don't know why his temperament has changed drastically." Mo Yanping said, "The former Hades King was among the Three Realms and Six Realms, with a well-known existence, strong ability, righteousness, and the entire underworld was well organized, and the two worlds of yin and yang cooperated with each other and never crossed the line, but tens of thousands of years ago. Everything has changed completely. “
I thought about it, what are the reasons why a person, who was originally fine, suddenly has a great change in temperament?
What stimulated you? Got dropped? Split personality?
These points, no matter which one is placed on ordinary people, all make sense, but the other party is the king of Hades, within the Three Realms and Six Realms, there are only a handful of people who can help him, right?
I didn't understand, so I asked again: "What about the Xuanji Pavilion?" That must have been a high-ranking member of the underworld, right? Who is he sacred? “
I thought that Mo Yanping would either give me a definite answer, or he would be secretive, but I didn't expect that he was as confused as me.
"This one from the Xuanji Pavilion, to be honest, he appeared very suddenly, and his intervention in the underworld also made me scratch my head." Mo Yanping said, "Over the years, I have been constantly exploring the structure of the underworld, but I found that there is no one in the middle and upper echelons of the underworld, so I still haven't figured out his identity." “
Who exactly is the man in the cape? Did it come out of a crack in the stone?
No, he didn't jump out of the crack in the stone, but crawled out of the Heishui River, Jiugu said that she rescued him when she was on a mission on the bank of the Heishui River that year.
Could it be that the cloaked man is a monster bred in the Blackwater River?
No, it's impossible, if it's really that kind of creature, how can the Xuanji Pavilion accept him? Treat him as a guest?
Even, Jiugu was once forced by me to ask to a certain extent, and acquiesced to the guess that the man in the cloak was the king of Hades, but at that time, whether Jiugu acquiesced or just remained silent and refused to answer, I didn't figure it out.
Thinking about it, an idea popped into my head, and then I was frightened by this bold idea, and shook my head violently, trying to throw out my absurd idea.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yanping suddenly said faintly: "Bai Li, did you also think of something?" “
"What?" I asked rhetorically, making up my mind not to take the initiative to say what I thought, and I waited for Mo Yanping to give me his guess.
Mo Yanping sneered and said, "Bai Li, you are still too defensive about me, it's just a guess, there's no need to hide it, since you don't want to say it, then I'll say it first." “
"A lot of times I think that maybe the one in the Xuanji Pavilion is like the real Hades."
