Chapter XXXVII: The Conditions of the Resurrection
Xingcheng, the city lord's mansion.
Liu Decheng rarely had a day to spare, he was enjoying the shade in the back garden, humming a little song comfortably, the recliner was rocking slowly, and there was a pot of good tea on the side.
"Daddy!"
However, this leisure time was ruined by his uncompetitive son, Liu Decheng sighed, he didn't bother to get up, and when his son Liu Si came to him, he asked impatiently: "What's wrong?"
Liu Si said with a crying voice: "Dad, I was robbed!"
Liu Decheng asked absentmindedly, "Oh, who did you rob?"
Liu Si jumped to his feet and said: "It's your son and I was robbed! It's not me who robbed others!"
Liu Decheng opened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "What? Someone in this Xingcheng actually dares to rob you? Oh my God!"
Liu Si said aggrievedly: "Yes, Dad, someone dares to rob me!"
Liu Decheng suddenly laughed: "Okay! good! Okay! You rabbit cub, relying on your mother to spoil you, if you don't practice well all day long, you know that you are powerful, Lao Tzu wants to discipline you, and that loser girl will know how to protect you, how about it, you know how powerful!"
Liu Si was stunned, why did his father react like this? Is this still his own father?
Liu Decheng glared at him and continued: "Say, who is the person who robbed you?"
Liu Si said even more aggrievedly: "It's a man and a woman, that man is very powerful, and the woman claims to be from the North Underworld, they robbed me of my money and beat me." ”
Liu Decheng looked his son up and down, and snorted: "The rabbit cub is still lying, you look like you have been beaten?"
Liu Si collapsed and said, "Dad, are you my own father?"
Liu Decheng slapped his son and said angrily: "Of course Lao Tzu is your own father! Damn, Lao Tzu usually tells you that Shenzhou is very big, let you practice hard and be a good person, if you don't listen, you will know that you are committing murder in this small place, your mother, ah? In addition to protecting you, do you know how to teach you? Hmph!"
Liu Si didn't dare to speak, his father seemed to be really angry at this time, and Liu Decheng forced him to ask about the cause and effect, so he continued to teach him: "You were only robbed this time, what about next time? Lao Tzu doesn't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person! And there are a lot of monks passing by this city recently, you'd better stop, if you provoke a terrible character, you Lao Tzu and I can't save you!" After a pause, Liu Dexiang thought of something, called a subordinate, and ordered: " You go and inquire where the two people you just said are settled now, and I will visit them myself. ”
Liu Si was puzzled and asked, "Dad, what are you going to do with them?"
Liu Decheng snorted: "No one else killed you, I'll go to the door to thank you!" Moreover, since Xiyue claims to be from the Northern Underworld, he will have to go on a trip anyway, the name of the royal family is taboo, and it cannot be used fraudulently, otherwise it will be contaminated with great cause and effect, which is very bearable.
After Liu Decheng reprimanded his son again, he waved him away and lay back on the chair, but at this time he no longer had the previous leisure mood, and he had been thinking about what to do after seeing the woman from the Northern Underworld.
At this time, in the inn, Su Chen returned to his room and lay on the bed in a daze, because he suddenly had a little difficulty defining his feelings for Xiyue, friendship? or beyond friendship? Su Chen didn't know, when he put on the golden hairpin for her, he admitted that he had other thoughts in his heart at that time......
"Well, forget it. Su Chen closed his eyes and let his mood fall silent for a while.
Xiyue didn't have so much thought, and after returning to the room, she changed her hairstyle beautifully, which was more suitable for this golden hairpin. Although it was said that the money to buy the hairpin was looted, she still regarded it as a gift from Su Chen, and was ready to fool Long Qingyan another day.
"If you eat well, sleep well, and look beautiful, the life of this palace is really complete. Xiyue muttered to herself, in a happy mood. She looked in the mirror, combed her hair, looked out the window, and showed a smile again, the most complete thing is that there is still a good buddy and a ...... A what?
Xiyue was suddenly stunned, what status should Su Chen have in her heart?
The crowd outside the window is like a tide, and the voices are boiling, intertwining a noisy world, but it is a pity that it is difficult to enter the ears of a man and a woman at this time, and the two of them have their own thoughts and thoughts.
When Xiyue and Su Chen went out to eat, Long Qingyan began to communicate with his own Dao device.
He crossed his knees, closed his eyes and fell into concentration, and the primordial spirit was in a trance, as if he had passed through a tunnel of time, and came to a strange place.
This was his second visit, the last time was when he was forging a knife.
The inner space of the Dao Vessel was naturally formed when it was cast, like a boundless starry sky, dotted with stars, and the galaxy was horizontal, and it seemed to be boundless at a glance, but Long Qingyan knew that this space was only ten zhang square, and it was the place where the spirit of the Dao Vessel was located.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the inner space of the Taoist vessel is actually the epitome of the big world, and with the improvement of the monk's cultivation, the inner space will follow the evolution.
Long Qingyan came to the inner space of the dragon pattern knife and called for the machine spirit. However, little by little, his heart cooled down, and the machine spirit did not respond, as if it did not exist.
"How can this be?" Long Qingyan couldn't help but ask himself.
When he first forged the dragon sword, he watched the machine spirit be born with his own eyes, but now what about the spirit in the sword?
Don't...... Something to do with the soul of the black dragon?
Thinking of this, Long Qingyan changed his way and said respectfully to the surroundings: "Senior, in Xia Long Qingyan, he is a descendant of the Dragon Clan, please show up!"
After waiting for a while, Long Qingyan didn't get a response, and repeated it again.
After asking him so many times, a deep voice responded to him: "Housheng, which lineage do you come from?"
Long Qingyan was overjoyed and replied: "The younger generation was born from the congenital, and now he is studying under the Grand Priest of the Dragon Clan, Ao Guang. ”
"Ao Guang, haven't heard of it, what age is it now?" the voice continued.
According to the "Twelve Books of Langhuan", it is now the thirteenth era of Shenzhou, and the six hundred and sixty-one thousand five thousand and eighteen years of the Heavenly Calendar. Long Qingyan said truthfully.
"It's been so many years? After the First World War, it was already a sea of life. The voice was stunned for a moment, and let out a long sigh.
"Senior ......"
"You don't need to ask, I'm just a wisp of remnant soul now, and I've forgotten a lot about my life, just remember that I was met by a great enemy outside the sky, and after the First World War, I am now. The soul of the black dragon finally appeared, and his appearance made Long Qingyan feel frightened. He lost one eye, only a hollow, one side of the dragon horn was broken, the four dragon claws were broken, the dragon body was full of blood holes, and even the remaining blood stains could be seen, the dragon scales were dull and dull, and most of them were peeled off, and there was blood everywhere, which was extremely terrifying.
This is a world away from the last time he was manifested.
And the message conveyed by the soul of the black dragon shocked Long Qingyan even more, this dragon ancestor was born millions of years ago, and he fell out of the sky because of a great war, and his remnant soul was immortalized on the meteorite outside the sky, and his blood created the dragon pattern meteorite, and his soul returned to the earth with the meteorite, and millions of years later because of Long Qingyan's reappearance in the world, living in the Dao weapon of the younger generations of the dragon clan.
His origin is a little terrifying, most of them were important figures of the Dragon Clan, maybe they are still at the level of the "Dragon King".
However, he did forget too many things, and after a while, he remembered that his name was Xuan Yu, and this name should be the Xuanlong lineage, so he was the Xuanlong King of the Eastern Wilderness in that era.
Xuan Yu couldn't reveal more information to Long Qingyan, and Long Qingyan couldn't continue to ask, so he simply went straight to the topic and explained his intentions.
"Now that I have returned to Shenzhou, I naturally want to see the light of day again, I devoured your Dao Weapon Spirit to replenish my own needs, so I can manifest in front of people that day. Xuan Yu said.
Long Qingyan was shocked: "Then my Dao weapon ......"
Xuan Yu said: "You don't have to worry, I can be your Dao Weapon Spirit for the time being, but you need to do something for me." ”
Long Qingyan was silent as if he had been struck by lightning, the spirit of the most primitive Dao weapon was gone, even if Xuan Yu could replace it? What is the difference between Xuan Yu's move and cutting off his path and ruining his future? The way of the monk is closely related to the Dao weapon, and it can be said that the spirit of the Dao weapon is like the second "god" of the monk, and the Dao weapon is the second life of the monk. What Xuan Yu has done now is equivalent to ruining Long Qingyan.
Xuan Yu seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and continued: "I devoured your Dao Weapon Spirit in order to obtain some of the Dragon Clan's Origin Power and use it to awaken. I am actually one with your machine spirit now, and my remnant soul is equivalent to your machine spirit, and I coexist with you in the way of machine spirit. ”
"That ......"
"I know your concerns, but don't worry, I won't affect your future, and your primordial machine spirit can come back, but only if you help me do one thing. Xuan Yu said.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to come to terms with that reality. Long Qingyan sighed, "So what does the senior need me to do?"
Xuan Yu grinned and said, "Dragon Clan man, when you have the courage, you do this for me, and I will return your primordial instrument spirit." As for what I want you to do, it's very simple, I want to see the light of day again and return to my homeland!"
"It's easy for you to return to the Eastern Wilderness, I'll go back soon, but what do you mean by seeing the light of day again?" Long Qingyan asked carefully, he didn't want to make any misunderstanding.
"Resurrection!" Xuan Yu said calmly.
Resurrection, there are only two words, but it is difficult to ascend to heaven, the life of all beings is only once, once the life ends, it means that this life has ended, resurrection is against the way of heaven, against nature. If life could be resurrected so easily, wouldn't those strong people who defy the heavens have reappeared in the world long ago? This world will inevitably be chaotic, and the existence of reincarnation will be meaningless.
So, Xuan Yu's request was difficult.
Seeing Long Qingyan's embarrassed face, Xuan Yu said: "Although I have lost most of my memories, I still remember some things, it is indeed contrary to reincarnation to come back from the dead, but it is not impossible, it is just that some special things are needed, you try your best to help me find it, before my deadline is approaching." ”
"The big limit?" Long Qing was stunned when he heard this.
"I was just surviving, and now that I'm alive again will only hasten my demise. Xuan Yu said indifferently, but he still sighed, with regret in his heart.
Long Qing was silent, to be honest, he was very repulsed in his heart, but there was no way to do it now, and there was no other choice but to accept it. But he finally reached a consensus with Xuan Yu that he could use the Dao weapon with confidence, and in a critical moment, Xuan Yu also promised to help him.
The problem was temporarily solved, and Long Qingyan said goodbye to Xuan Yu and returned to reality.
In the evening, he found Su Chen and Xiyue and told his two friends about it. The two were amazed, and Xiyue asked, "What does he need to resurrect?"
Long Qingyan replied, "Yinchuan water, Huangquan stone, anxiety relief grass, and the most important thing for the dragon clan, purple gold dragon jade. ”
Xi Yueqi said: "I still know the first three things, but what is the matter with the Purple Gold Dragon Jade?"
Long Qingyan said in a deep voice: "The purple gold dragon jade belongs to one of the nine heavens of the Xuanyu, only the Eastern Wilderness has it, because it is a relic left after the dragon clan sits...... "Purple gold dragon jade, because it is a dragon relic, its shape is like a dragon, the material is like jade, it is a natural purple gold, so it is called "purple gold dragon jade", but it is not any dragon clan can stay, only beyond the fairyland, become a "god" of the dragon clan can be born in the dragon jade, this probability, can be said to be one in ten thousand.
And there is a level of dragon clan is sure to be able to leave the purple gold dragon jade, that is, the "dragon emperor"! But the level of "emperor" is already the same life as heaven and earth, immortal existence, it is difficult to die, so the royal purple gold dragon jade is more rare than the god-level dragon jade, and it is said that one of the supreme holy relics of the Eastern Wilderness is the purple gold dragon jade left after the death of a certain dragon emperor, which has been worshiped by the five veins of the dragon clan for generations.
Except for the purple gold dragon jade, the other three items are all things of the netherworld, which are related to the netherworld, and they cannot be found in the world at all, unless they can enter the netherworld, they have a chance to find them.
Yinchuan water and Huangquan stone are to reshape the soul of the gods, and the anti-anxiety grass is said to be able to help people regain their memories, as opposed to another netherworld thing called "forgetful flowers", and the purple gold dragon jade can help Xuan Yu reshape the body of the divine dragon to carry his soul, and if he wants to recover the Dao fruit of his previous life and restore the supreme cultivation before his death, he needs to use the purple gold dragon jade left by the Dragon Emperor, and only this level of dragon jade has such an anti-heaven effect.
From this point of view, Xuan Yu's requirements are indeed as difficult as ascending to the sky, perhaps the purple gold dragon jade is not the most difficult, but the other three things are not visible if they do not enter the netherworld, and the netherworld cannot be entered by living people.
"Although legend has it in the world that the Netherworld cannot be entered by the living, if you can pass through the ruins, you may have the opportunity to enter the Netherworld in the form of a living person. Xiyue said.
These words made Long Qingyan's spirit lifted, there has been a legend since ancient times, the North Stygian Ice Phoenix watches the reincarnation and is the guardian of the ruins, and its ancestor is said to be a natural emperor who came through reincarnation, with a mysterious origin, but the Ice Phoenix was left in the North Underworld. And the pure-blooded Northern Stygian Ice Phoenix can enter the Guirus, and only the pure-blooded Northern Stygian Ice Phoenix can enter the Guirus, such as the patriarchs and great elders of the Northern Underworld in the past dynasties, and the Heavenly Maiden Xiyue in this life. As for the center of the ruins, only the great elders of the past dynasties could enter and leave freely, and this was on the premise that there was no real emperor in their own clan.
The Ice Phoenix clan respects women, and those in high positions are all pure-blooded ice phoenixes, and only women, but pure-blood ice phoenixes are not necessarily in high positions, and there are precedents of pure-blooded ice phoenixes marrying outside in the history of the Northern Underworld, but once you choose to marry outside, it means staying away from the power center of the Northern Underworld and becoming an "idler".
Because it is a royal family, the bloodline of the ice phoenix is extremely strong, if the bloodline of the husband's family is weak, then the probability of the offspring is very large, if it is the same royal family, or the husband's family is not a royal family but the power of the bloodline is not weaker than the royal family, there will be mixed-race descendants, what kind of race its descendants are, it depends on the cultivation of both parents, but ninety percent will be a strong descendant of the advantages of both sides;
Of course, the pure-blooded ice phoenixes that are in power in the North Underworld are all born in the North Underworld and grew up in the Northern Underworld, because among the descendants of the Ice Phoenix, there is a very small possibility of giving birth to a male Ice Phoenix, and the male Ice Phoenix will only combine with the Ice Phoenix of his own clan to ensure the purity of the Ice Phoenix's bloodline, because in this case, there is almost 100% of the pure-blooded Ice Phoenix.
And a Northern Stygian Ice Phoenix like Xiyue, which was born directly in the ruins, is rare in the ages, and the whole clan has high hopes for her.
The pure-blooded ice phoenix can enter the ruins, and Xiyue, as the celestial maiden of this generation, can naturally do it, so the only question is, can Long Qingyan and Su Chen enter?
Xiyue once thought that since the two of them were the sons of prophecy, maybe there would be some kind of special connection with her, and this special connection might be a condition for the two of them to enter the ruins as well. As long as you can pass through the ruins, you can enter the netherworld, so that Long Qingyan can find what he needs.
"Returning to the ruins, that's the ancestral land of your clan, can you let outsiders in at will?" Long Qingyan asked.
"I'm not sure, but if it's the two of you, maybe it's okay to be accommodating. Xiyue said uncertainly, she really didn't know how to do this, and she could only talk about it then.
This matter can only be put aside for the time being, after all, after this trip to Qingzhou, Long Qingyan wants to return to the Eastern Wilderness temporarily, and when the time comes, he can deal with the matter of the purple gold dragon jade first, with his identity, it is possible, but the dragon clan is not as simple as the North Underworld, so it must not be so easy to do, not to mention that he has not even obtained the Yinchuan water, Huangquan stone and the relief grass, let alone the people of the clan and the use of the purple gold dragon jade.
Anyway, resurrecting Xuan Yu is a troublesome matter, but Long Qingyan can only accept it, and he is really helpless. Fortunately, Xuan Yu has already agreed, and it will not affect Long Qingyan's use of the dragon pattern knife, otherwise it will be even more troublesome.
There are still a few days left, and when the news comes from Tiangong Pavilion, the three of them can go to Qingzhou.
Speaking of which, the three of them were quite curious, what kind of magic weapon could Tiangong Pavilion deliver......
