CHAPTER XLIII
Because there was too much demonic energy, the sky gradually darkened.
When Wei Yuanzi came down from the Forgotten Dust Peak, the demonic energy above the Yangxu Palace was still churning, and he could vaguely see a figure inside, he stood on a high place, overlooking everyone, with a look of disdain.
Originally, everyone was still worried, for fear that there would be some dangerous people or things in the rich demonic qi, who would have thought that not long after Wei Yuanzi appeared, the demonic qi would dissipate.
"Since that demonic qi dissipated at that time, why is the master still injured?"
"It's true that the demonic qi is dispersed, but it didn't take long for a new problem to arise in the demon-killing cave in the back mountain."
The Demon Killing Cave was already there when it first existed in Yangxu Palace, and no one knew how it came about, only that it was called the Demon Killing Cave, which was used to suppress the demons.
At the beginning, the demon clan appeared actively, and the demon killing cave had its effect, but slowly the demon clan disappeared, and the demon killing cave was sealed, until Bo Yanhe appeared, and it was not reopened by Wei Yuanzi.
"I wasn't in the mountains at the time, and when I came back, I heard that it had devoured several people."
No one thought that the Demon Killing Cave would actually be a living creature that eats people, that day there were disciples who went to the back mountain to pick spiritual fruits, and when passing by the Demon Killing Cave, they stopped and wanted to rest for a while, who would have thought that this rest would lose their lives.
"While it was resting, the master went in to find the whereabouts of those disciples, but in the end all he found was the uniform clothes of the disciples of Yangxu Palace...... Digested. β
After Wei Yuanzi came out of the Demon Killing Cave, he rummaged through all the books in the Yangxu Palace Library, and finally used his own essence and blood as a guide to seal it again when the Demon Killing Cave was suddenly excited.
Yu Feng told him that before Wei Yuanzi's retreat, there was a time when his expression had been in a trance, always standing at the top of Forgotten Dust Peak in a daze, he didn't talk to anyone, but he always talked to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.
At that time, he had been by Wei Yuanzi's side, called him countless times, and asked him countless times, but he didn't say a word to him.
It wasn't until the early morning of the day of his retreat that Yu Feng spoke to him.
"Master, you ...... these days"
However, before the first sentence could be finished, it was interrupted.
"I'm going to retreat for a while, watch the disciples in the palace during this time, don't let them go out, let alone let them go to the ghost abyss to practice, the specific reason will be discussed after I come out."
I don't know if it's an illusion, Wei Yuanzi's expression seems to be a little flustered, as if he has encountered something urgent and needs to be dealt with in a hurry, but compared to this, Yu Feng feels that he is more like a ...... What to hide.
He originally wanted to ask more, but Wei Yuanzi didn't give him time to ask more questions at all, and after he said those words, he went directly to the retreat.
"I really think Master is hiding someone!" After Yu Feng said those things, he said to him with a serious face.
Emperor He didn't see Wei Yuanzi, so he naturally didn't know what he was like at that time, so he didn't dare to agree with his words.
On the stone table outside the retreat place, there was a set of tea sets, when Emperor He first saw it, he was stunned, he knew where this tea set came from almost the moment he saw it!
He has lived on Yunshui Peak for ten years, how could he not recognize her things!
On the way back, he also thought about going back to Yunshui Peak to have a look, thinking about trying again, but remembering what Yaoxi said when he said goodbye to him, he didn't have that thought.
Putting his fingers on a teacup, he sighed, "Master! You're really heartless! Let the disciples ...... I don't have a reason to go back! β
The New Year is approaching, every household has bought New Year's goods, Nan He poured all the silver left by Emperor He on the table, and after careful planning, she went out with her zombie "men".
"Candy is sold! Selling osmanthus sugar, marzipan, peanut candy, maltose, rice candy, dragon's beard candy ......"
The candy seller said more than a dozen kinds of candy in one breath, and after finishing speaking, he laughed, took out a few candies wrapped in glutinous rice paper, and gave them to passers-by to taste.
Coincidentally, Nan He was among these pedestrians.
"Girl, would you like to taste my sugar?" The vendor smiled and handed her a dragon's beard candy wrapped in glutinous rice paper.
Nan He glanced at the vendor, and then at the dragon whisker candy in his hand: "Boss, is your sugar sweet?" I don't buy it if it's not sweet! β
She curled the corners of her lips and smiled, and the black mark on her eyebrows also lit up, which is strange to say, the people in the quiet town have always avoided her when they see her this night, and the vendors have never taken the initiative to hand her something to taste, and this candy seller is the first one.
"The girl laughed, my sugar is sweet! You taste it, if you think my sugar is not sweet, girl, what sugar you want, I will give you any sugar! The peddler naturally saw the mark on her forehead, but he didn't mean to be afraid at all, and the hand holding the dragon beard candy sent it to her one by one.
Since he said so, Nan He didn't want to eat it, so he took the dragon beard candy in his hand and put it in his mouth.
The dragon whisker candy melted in her mouth, and suddenly a sweet smell filled her entire mouth.
"Hmm. Not bad. She glanced at the other sweets on the candy stand, tasted a few more, took the silver from the money bag and handed it to the vendor, "Boss, just take these pieces of silver, and you can fill me with some of each!" β
The peddler took the money and smiled even more happily: "Okay! Girl, wait a minute! I'll pretend to you! β
Nan He let out an "um" and stood aside waiting for him to fill the sugar.
The money was supposed to be used to buy snacks, but the candy tasted good, and could last longer, so she divided half of the money she used to buy the sweets.
"Girl, your sugar." The vendor quickly packed the candy and sent it to Nan He with a smile on his face.
took the candy and handed it directly to the "people" who followed behind him, Nan He thanked them and led them to other places.
Not long after she left, the smile on the peddler's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Nan He's disappearing back, and snorted meaningfully.
"I don't believe you still can't remember anything this time!"
Although the wine he bought last time hadn't been drunk yet, Nan He counted the time and felt that it was necessary to buy some more, so after buying something else, he went to the restaurant.
Recently, there will be a lot of people in the town, even if he is used to being looked at by others, but Nan He still doesn't want to be stared at all at all, so on the way to the restaurant, he also bought himself a wide cloak, but unlike those behind her, hers is a white one.
After buying the wine, she distributed everything she bought to the zombies behind her and asked them to take it back.
"It's almost the New Year! This is the first time I have spent the New Year in the ghost world, and I don't know how Emperor He is now, will he come ......to find him" Nan He raised his hand and rubbed his face, and even slapped it a few times, "What do you want!" He has a home to go back to, so he naturally wants to go home for the New Year, how could he appear somewhere else! β
She shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want him anymore, that untrustworthy person, I don't want to meet him!"
"Phew!" Walking and walking, she felt that it was not enjoyable, so she took another sip of Di He.
At this time, Di He, who was scolded, suddenly sneezed, he rubbed his nose, and looked up at the sky with an unknown expression.
"What kind of sneeze on this sunny day!"
On the day Wei Yuanzi came out of the customs, it suddenly snowed on the day that had not snowed for a long time, and the Yangxu Palace was covered with snow, which should have looked pure and beautiful, but now it seems that it feels a little ...... Inauspicious.
Di He was still guarding the door, and when he heard the sound of the stone door opening, he hurriedly turned his gaze.
"Master!" As soon as Wei Yuanzi's figure came out of the station, he immediately shouted.
Hearing his voice, Wei Yuanzi raised his head, obviously a little surprised when he saw him.
As he walked this way, he asked him, "Didn't you go to Asakawa?" How did you get back? Is something wrong? β
Seeing that his brows were furrowed more and more tightly, Di He directly changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this matter yet." The day I came back, I heard Senior Brother Yu Feng say that something happened to the Demon Killing Cave, what the hell happened? β
Hearing him mention the Demon Killing Cave, a strange look flashed in Wei Yuanzi's eyes, and since he quickly returned to his original appearance, Di He didn't see it.
"I only found out about this matter not long ago, you listen to me tell you slowly."
Tens of millions of years ago, the ghost abyss showed that at the same time, there was a person in the ghost abyss who made all the immortal cultivators in the entire ghost world frightened, and the demon lord was gone.
No one knows how he appeared, and no one knows who first spread the news about him, they only know that Changli is the master of the ghost abyss and the first king of the demon clan.
At that time, the demon clan was different from the demon clan, the demon clan had a king that belonged to them, but the demon clan did not, they each had strong strength, so they were not willing to obey anyone, it was precisely because of this that the demon clan was still scattered for so many years.
In the year that Changli appeared, the Immortal Cultivation Sect suffered heavy losses, and anyone who tried to enter the Ghost Abyss was subdued by him with thunderous means, and then thrown into the Wind and Snow Great Array, adding a force to that formation.
Its central Xu Palace was the sect that was hit the hardest, at that time Wei Yuanzi was still very young, just a small disciple in the Yang Xu Palace, he had not seen Changli, but he had heard his name countless times.
Later, there was a period of time when Changli suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already become the king of the demon race.
Originally, his strength was extraordinary, and with the help of the demon clan, he was even more powerful, and for a while, the Immortal Cultivation Sect was bitter, and they joined forces to eradicate him, but in the end they found that they were too naΓ―ve.
In the days when the demons were most rampant, Changli didn't appear at all, and when they dealt with the demons at that time, they were already helpless, how could they deal with him!
So it didn't take long for the Immortal Cultivation Sect to gradually decay, so that there were fewer and fewer people cultivating Immortals, and there were fewer and fewer possibilities to deal with them.
"Just when I thought that the prosperous era of cultivating immortals was about to pass, Changli suddenly disappeared, this time he really disappeared, no one knew his whereabouts, not even those demons who followed him."
After Changli disappeared, those demon clans had no shelter, and there was no continuous supply of demonic energy, and as the Immortal Cultivation Sect became strong again, they disappeared and disappeared from the ghost abyss.
It may be that he has returned to the place where he used to live, or he may still be hiding in some corner of the ghost world, anyway, he has never appeared again, and he has never sent a hand against those immortal cultivators.
Decades have passed since Changli's disappearance, and Wei Yuanzi learned from other sects that because he broke through the seal and harmed the ghost world, the immortal family sent a messenger to reseal him, but he didn't obey, and he fought with the messenger, and in the process, he was knocked down the magic weapon, seriously injured, and then hid somewhere to heal.
During that time, everyone was looking for Changli's lost magic weapon in various parts of the world, and since they had not seen it, they had no choice but to give up in the end.
"I told you about the ghost abyss before, but I didn't tell you much about the Demon Lord's departure, if it weren't for the situation in the Demon Slayer Cave this time, I wouldn't have told you about it."
Emperor He was a little puzzled, and he asked him with a confused face: "Why?"
Wei Yuanzi sighed, he frowned, as if he remembered something terrible: "Because the less you know, the better you can live!"
Although he said so, he finally told all the things that he had not told him.
Everyone thought that the Demon Killing Cave existed when the Yangxu Palace was established, but in fact, the real reason was not so.
When the Yangxu Palace was first established, there was no Demon Killing Cave at all, and it suddenly appeared in the mountains behind the Yangxu Palace in the year of Changli's disappearance.
At that time, the palace master walked around the demon killing cave, and when he came out, half of his cultivation was wasted, but he saw the messenger sent by the immortal family.
The messenger told him that there was a trace of Changli's soul imprisoned in this demon killing cave, and asked him to seal the demon killing cave and keep it for ten thousand years, and then wished him to board the road to the fairy world, and the palace master agreed, he gave up half of his body cultivation, sealed the demon killing cave in the Yang Xu Palace, and finally changed everyone's memory, telling them that the demon killing cave existed when the Yang Xu Palace first appeared, and it was used to suppress the demon race, because the demon race had no trace, and there was no need for its existence, so it was sealed.
He warned his disciples not to let them come close, and although they didn't know why, they complied, and since then, they have not appeared in the back mountain again.
Needless to say, Emperor He knew that the later palace master had not kept for 10,000 years, otherwise the current palace master would not be Wei Yuanzi.
Because there is no half of the cultivation, the palace master has become much weaker than before, once a monster entered the palace, wanted to destroy the Yangxu Palace, he couldn't bear to watch the Yangxu Palace created by him be destroyed, so he took his own life as a guide, and set up a mountain protection formation in the Yangxu Palace, preventing those monsters and even demons from entering it.
Without the palace master's guard, the Demon Slaying Cave that suppressed Changli's soul gradually broke through the original seal, and finally came back to life some time ago.
"Didn't Master tell me before, that magic ...... Is the Demon King's Eternal Departure the last calamity before you ascend? β
"Hmm." Wei Yuanzi nodded, looking at Di He's eyes with a hint of embarrassment, "I always thought that the master told me that he came back to hide on someone else, but now I know that this is what it means." β
"Master's previous suspicions should not be wrong. Some of the souls in this demon-killing cave are just a soul of Changli, and his other souls may be ...... That's what the master thought! β
"I hope so! Let's not think about this for now! Whether the calamity can be passed or not depends on the individual's creation, and there is a more important thing at the moment! β
"Is it about the outbreak of a poisonous plague in Soul Mountain and Asakagawa?" Di He asked.
"Hmm. That's exactly what happened. Wei Yuanzi responded.
Emperor He told Wei Yuanzi everything that had happened for a while, but he still didn't say anything about Nan He's life experience.
"So you're saying Bo Yanhe is trying to domesticate those zombies right now?"
After Di He nodded, he said, "If she can domesticate them, it will also be a good thing!" But ......"
He looked at Di He with a look of concern: "Are you sure she is really reliable?"
Wei Yuanzi was not suspicious of her, but to see if Di He really trusted her.
I saw Di He nodded, and replied with a serious face: "I believe her." And ......"
Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Wei Yuanzi was a little puzzled: "And what?"
Emperor He hesitated, and said in a low voice: "And he knows my secret."
Wei Yuanzi suddenly laughed, and he patted Di He's shoulder: "It turns out that your kid was caught by others!" No wonder he swears so much! β
was stunned by him, and then reacted quickly, and after hearing his words, Di He defended: "It's not that I have to believe her!" Although she knows my secrets, I am also ......"
"Alright, alright! I know! I know! Wei Yuanzi directly interrupted him, and didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, "That person may act again recently, be sure to find him as soon as possible and stop him from continuing to harm others!" β
Di He: "......"
Wei Yuanzi glanced at him, and seeing that he was not interested at all, he changed the topic: "Some time ago, your master came here to find me."
When he heard him talk about Yaoxi, Di He sighed in his heart, he wanted to pretend to be indifferent, but it was a little difficult.
ββ¦β¦ Master, what happened? β
Seeing that Wei Yuanzi shook his head, he asked again, "Then why did she look for you?"
Wei Yuanzi pinched the trick with his fingertips, originally wanting him to see what happened that day, but he felt that there was no need for that, so he broke up the fingertips before he formed the technique, and said word by word: "She is going through a catastrophe." Love robbery. β
When Emperor He heard this, he was stunned.
β¦β¦
The Demon Slaying Cave had been resealed, but no one knew that at the moment when Wei Yuanzi sealed him, a faint and almost imperceptible demonic aura slipped out of the Demon Slaying Cave, and then flew in the direction of the Night Town.
