As the stone wall slid to the side, the square entrance to the catacomb appeared to the crowd, and after a few steps down the stairs, it began to enter a damp and cold circular tunnel.

Ouyang Xiaoleng could easily tell that this was the direction leading to the white oak tree in the center of the city, and the two sides of the tunnel lit up with clouds of dark blue demon fire as they followed their footsteps. Spirit Feather didn't like this tunnel, because it was shaped like the belly of a serpent, and they were like a feast in its belly.

The blue snake Xizhen walked very slowly, and from time to time his arm would prop himself up on the wall on the side of the tunnel, taking a breath before continuing to move forward. They finally came to the open area, where everything was pure white, exactly as Dong Muya described. The white sand ground was very soft to step on, and a curved emulsion-like river flowed slowly with bursts of sweetness, and walking down the river was the place where the coffin of the blue snake Xizhen was placed.

The wooden coffin was on a stone platform, and it was also painted with white lacquer, and it was tightly buttoned, so that people couldn't help but think that there would be someone lying inside.

Blue Snake Xizhen walked to the coffin and stopped, stroked it with his hand, and pointed to it again, saying, "We are now standing under the center of the wooden city, and this is where I will sleep in the future." ”

Ever since she entered the open field, Xia Qiu was amazed by the wonders in front of her, she remembered that someone had said that humans would pass through a long tunnel during their near-death experience and end up in a place like heaven, and the catacombs they were in now were just like heaven.

Ouyang Xiaoleng observed the tomb while thinking about the suspiciousness since they entered the wooden city Xizhen, he vaguely felt that the blue snake Xizhen was hiding something from them, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion. The key problem now is that if you want to break the strange array, you have to destroy the material that makes up this array, and the material of the array belonging to Mucheng is the coffin of the blue snake Xizhen in front of you.

But he thought about it, if he explained the reason, and the blue snake Xizhen really had nothing to do with the whole thing, according to her personality and bearing, she should be able to agree to their request, and on the contrary, if she tried her best to prevent it, it would mean that there must be something strange in it.

He made up his mind and said, "I have a request that may not sound very respectful!" ”

Blue Snake Xizhen responded: "Oh? Please tell me about it! ”

Ouyang Xiao said calmly: "As I said before, a certain substance in your tomb is related to Qingyun's plan, and that substance is your coffin, in order to ensure that his plan cannot be implemented, we may have to destroy your coffin!" ”

"I don't understand!"

Blue Snake Xizhen said a little panicked, her face became unnatural, and complex emotions could be seen from her expression.

Ouyang Xiaoleng also raised his vigilance because of this, and asked, "I wonder if you have heard of the Strange Array?" ”

"No...... I don't know! ”

As soon as he heard the strange array, the blue snake Xizhen became more and more flustered, and Ouyang Xiaoleng was even more convinced of his guess. Just as he was about to continue his questioning, a strange wind blew, rolling up the white sand on the ground, blurring his vision, and before he could figure out what was happening, several teenagers fainted.

About 4,000 years ago, at the beginning of the formation of the demon world. There is no wooden city yet, and the blue snake Xizhen is just a small snake slightly thicker than a finger. Because snakes like this are very rare, and although they are highly poisonous, they are precious medicinal herbs that can brew medicinal liquor that can greatly increase demonic power.

One day it came out of its hole to feed, but was chased by a group of demons, who first jumped into a pond, then into a crack in a stone, and then hid in a bush...... Stumbled, and I don't know how long it has been running, but who knows that those greedy little demons are still chasing after it.

Gradually, it was covered in bruises, exhausted, and the scene in its eyes became hazy. A soft white light appeared in its sight, and it crawled along it with the last of its strength, and then fell into a coma unconsciously. When it woke up again, it found itself in a small tree, and the demons who had been chasing it were gone. It didn't recognize the name of the little tree with its white trunk, but it was reassuring to be coiled over it.

Since then, the small tree has served as its umbrella, resting on the tree throughout the day or observing the world around it, and only briefly reaching the surface to feed at night. After spending some time with the tree, they seem to be able to engage in some kind of soul communication, which is rare, but a few words with it once in a while can make it feel less lonely.

The little tree has grown to its fullest expansion, and there are often passers-by who lean under the tree to rest, and the little snake also hears more about the world from their mouths. In fact, it didn't know that it was no longer a small snake at this time, but because the tree where it lived had also grown, it didn't know how big it had become.

One day, while listening to the monsters under the tree talking about the cultivation method, it suddenly opened its mind, and soon transformed into a human form. Then her own power gradually became apparent. She finally understood why those little demons were bent on arresting her, and the toxins in its body played a role in increasing the demon's power like an accelerator. In order to become strong, she devoted herself to cultivation, and she couldn't hold other things in her heart, and gradually stopped communicating with Xiaoshu.

She stayed on the ground longer and longer, and began to travel to various places in search of opponents who could learn from the demonic arts. Because she was born beautiful and has a kind of innocence that does not go through the world, most opponents will deliberately release water on her. And she didn't know the truth, and as the number of victories continued to increase, she gradually became more and more unpredictable. Her arrogance has made her many enemies, and a group of youkai who have long seen her unpleasantly plan to sneak up on her in order to make her a potion that will increase her demonic power.

They took advantage of her lack of secret weapons to seriously injure her, and although she was angry in her heart, she had to endure the pain and escape. The realgar on the hidden weapon gradually entered the blood, and then penetrated into her internal organs through the blood, and she gradually could not maintain a human posture. She felt so familiar with being chased all the way, it seemed like she had experienced the same thing a long time ago, and this time she didn't know if she would be as lucky as last time. Just as she was about to give up, a familiar white light appeared in front of her eyes, was it an illusion? She asked herself, but tried to crawl towards the light.

When she awoke, she found herself hovering over the tree she had been, and beside her sat a handsome man dressed in white, with eyes as dark green as the leaves, looking at her gently, and when he saw her awake, he showed a look of relief that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Me? I am this tree! He didn't say anything, but the voice entered her brain.

"It's been a long time since I've heard your voice!" For the first time, she felt choked, as if the child who had been wronged outside had finally returned home.

"My demonic strength is weak, and it is difficult for me to maintain my human form. In fact, I have been trying to communicate with you, but your heart is gradually reluctant to receive my messages. ”

"What's your name?"

"I don't have a name, I just know that I'm a white oak!"

"I heard that the god who is in charge of spring in the east of the world is called Emperor Cang, and I will call you Emperor Cang in the future!"

"Well, I like the name, so what's your name?"

"I want to give myself a monarch-like name, and Emperor Cang is also called Emperor Mu, so I want to build a wooden city here, and I will never abandon you again! From today onwards, my name will be Xi Zhen! ”

Blue Snake Xizhen really didn't break her promise, she only left Mucheng once when the Demon King Fox Li became the Lord of the Demon Realm, and in the long years since, she has never left here, nor has she ever left Emperor Cang. Emperor Cang can't appear in human form at any time, so in order for him to see her for the first moment when he comes, she must stay by his main body.

Time flies, 4,000 years is only in the snap of a finger, Xi Zhen was born straightforward and resolute, while Emperor Cang is gentle and elegant. Although it is Xizhen in front of people, Mucheng's gradual growth is inseparable from Emperor Cang's silent protection and support for her. She had thought that they would always live happily in this city that belonged to them, but everything suddenly changed on that day.

Many years ago, acid rain began to fall around Mucheng, a phenomenon that had never appeared in the demon world, so no one could tell how this acid rain was formed. The water sources and soil inside and outside the wooden city have been severely damaged, the plants have fallen ill and died because of this, and Emperor Cang has also begun to become weak, and the number of times he appears in front of the blue snake Xizhen is also decreasing, and the longest one is that he can't see her for most of the year.

Emperor Cang had saved Xi Zhen twice, she thought that if there was no Emperor Cang, she would have become a taste in medicine and wine four thousand years ago, how could she watch him die? Whatever method she used, she had to save him. At first, she searched for ways to stop the acid rain, and used her demon power to detoxify the Cangdi and continue her life, although she became more and more emaciated after a long time, the acid rain was still not controlled. More and more people say that Mucheng is cursed.

When she was at a loss, an uninvited guest quietly visited, and this person was the famous number one enemy of the demon world, Qingyun. She knew that he must have a plan to appear at this time, and sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked her to do something for him in exchange for helping her stop the acid rain.

Although the blue snake Xizhen did not want Emperor Cang to die like this, as the city lord of Mucheng, that is, the courtier of the demon king fox, how could she defect to the enemy with her integrity. So at the beginning, she was absolutely unwilling, who knew that Qingyun cast a spell to let her see Emperor Cang who was in pain, looking at him who was tortured, her whole heart was shaken in an instant.

Qingyun took the opportunity to say that since the death of the second-generation demon king fox Ouyang Xueye, the demon world has fallen into a masterless situation, so the demon king fox is not her current master. Xi Zhen, who was full of desire to free Emperor Cang from his pain, agreed to his condition: to make Mucheng a city in the strange array, and the element of the array was his own coffin.

She didn't know why the matter of the Qilie Array was revealed, and she didn't know how the current Demon King Fox easily found her, the moment he and his companions appeared in front of her, she was already six gods and no master, although she felt guilty in her heart, but she had no way out.

Emperor Cang, as his name suggests, is her spring. For him, even if she wants Xizhen to be an enemy of the entire demon world, she will never regret it.
