Chapter 42: Difficult to reunite husband and wife
After about a cup of tea, Mo Qing crawled back.
He had been waiting before, and he was already faintly impatient. Two couples who are difficult to get together can only talk in this way, although the little demon passes back and forth, it doesn't take more than an hour, but compared to face-to-face answers, it's still too troublesome. Fortunately, the two dryads are extremely old and steady, and if they are urgent, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it for a long time.
When Mo Qing approached the old man, he squeaked a few times, and then there was no aftersound, and the old man frowned slightly, looking up at the lonely man.
"It's so brief, naturally there can't be any valuable clues" Although I don't understand the meaning of 'squeak', I can guess it.
"Shu Po said that she had never heard of someone carving the word 'king' on the top of their head......"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Mo Qing grabbed his calf with his forelegs, and then 'squeaked' a few words.
"Hmm, what does that mean, gasping for breath?"
Mo Qing said, squeezed to the side and lay on the stump with the other two little demons, but his eyes tasted the babbling on his back.
The old man looked ahead with a solemn expression, and was silent for a long time, as if what Mo Qing had just said shocked him.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Li still reminded "senior", although he guessed that Shu Po should know some news that might not sound good, but waiting like this made him feel even more tormented.
"Hmm" The old man shook his head, turned his gaze to the solitary stand, and said slowly, "Although the tree woman doesn't know the person with the word 'king' engraved on the top of her head, but ...... I once heard the Lord of the Demon Sect say that there is a force called Heavenly Court, and the members in it are all bald, and they will carve 'heaven' on the top of their heads and 'earth' on their feet, which means to stand on top of the heavens and the earth......"
The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "Lord Demon Sect knows very little about the true situation of this Heavenly Court force, only that they seem to have some great secrets, their whereabouts are uncertain and elusive, and most of the things they do are inhuman, and Heavenly Reason cannot be ......."
"Soul Court, when did the human race have such power?Why have you never heard from my father or other soul masters!" Hearing this, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
The old man pondered for a moment before shaking his head, and then said, "I just don't know if it has anything to do with the person you mentioned with the word 'king' engraved on the top of his head?
"A few days ago, I went to the lair of the three-faced owl, and they saw that three years ago a bald man with the word 'king' engraved on his head threw me into the rift. So, I want to know his identity. He replied in a deep voice.
"Bald head, engraved with the word 'king' and the word 'heaven'?" the old man muttered to himself several times, and then said, "As far as I know, the three living treasures of the three-sided owl are not advanced in cultivation, thinking about what happened three years ago, they would definitely not dare to get involved, so they should have hid in the lair and saw the scene at that time." Their nest was several miles away from the rift valley, and they probably couldn't see it really, so it is very likely that they misunderstood the word 'heaven' for the word 'king'. ”
"However, it may also be possible that the bald head does have the 'king' engraved on the top of his head, but he should also have some connection with the forces of the Heavenly Court, otherwise there can't be so many similarities, after all, the logo of a bald head and lettering should be extremely rare" The old man said slowly, his thoughts becoming more organized.
After listening to the words of the ancient tree demon, Xiao Li thought in his heart, "Whether it is related to the forces of the Soul Court or not, the two signs of bald head and lettering are extremely obvious, even if they are hidden deeply, under the investigation of many parties, at least there are clues there, and it should be easier to find than the power of the Demon Sect." After all, there is very little clear information about the power of the Demon Sect these days. ”
In fact, he didn't know at this time that in the days before he came, in order to find clues related to the "bald head and lettering" person, he broke into Huaxia and Kyushu, from life to death and from death to life, and the difficulty he experienced was many times more than that of finding the demon sect.
"You are a person in the soul department, your cultivation is not very profound, and it doesn't seem to be special, why do you have something to do with the forces of the Heavenly Court?" The old man looked at the man with a back face, and without waiting for him to answer, he continued, "How can the human race have such an evil and mysterious force?", it seems that the ancient tree demon is also extremely shocked that there are such forces in the human race area, but his shock comes from the gap between his own cognition and the actual situation.
In the cognition of the old dryad, the human race lives freely, and does not have endless restraints like the demon race, so it should naturally be peaceful and prosperous. However, in fact, a free and secure life is more likely to give rise to human strife. It is precisely for this reason that the forces of all parties are intriguing and doing everything they can, where there is peace and harmony in the true sense. As for the calculation of the Heavenly Court Organization mentioned by Lord Demon Sect, it seems that it is not clear at present.
When he heard the old man ask, he couldn't help but sigh and replied, "The reason is that the younger generation doesn't know anything. ”
The old man shook his head and said slowly, "Everything in the world has a reasonable explanation, but some explanations are not easy to obtain...... and then he stroked his beard and was silent for a while, as if he had been staring at the bulging place on his chest, where Qiuqiu was lying quietly.
Seeing the direction of the old man's gaze, his face was puzzled, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, at this moment, the old man suddenly said, "Don't let that little guy hide, take it out and take a look with me." ”
"Qiuqiu?" asked with a frown.
The old man smiled faintly, "I'm not interested in the little guy next to you. ”
When he heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red, so he had to reach into his arms and take out the ball in the palm of his hand.
The old man had been staring at Qiuqiu from time to time, and he naturally knew that he was very interested in Qiuqiu. But Xiao Li still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't have any worries about the old man's request, because he knew that if the old man was really wrong, there was no need to wait until now, and after the previous events, Li Li had already trusted the old man.
Qiuqiu stood on the palm of his hand, turned around a few times, his eyes swayed from side to side, as if he didn't understand why he took it out.
The old man's body leaned forward slowly, and his upper body gradually approached the ball, so that his legs trapped in the stump were somewhat stretched and deformed.
Qiuqiu was originally staring at Lili with a blank face, but suddenly noticed that someone was slowly approaching, turned his head, and suddenly saw the old man with an elongated body, and crawled behind him along Lili's arm.
The old man smiled, his body was like a bent bamboo, and it bounced back in an instant, "Why is the dignified Tianpeng mouse so timid?"
"Tianpeng Mouse?" Li Li opened his eyes wide suddenly, looking at the old man, and his mouth involuntarily opened in response. Obviously, the old man had already seen Qiuqiu's identity, and the identity of this 'Tianpeng Mouse' must not be ordinary, otherwise he would not have been extremely interested before. He has always wanted to know the origin and identity of Qiuqiu and Babbling, because he wants to know the reason why the two little guys suddenly appeared next to him three years ago and have always followed, and perhaps he can add a clue to the mystery of three years ago.
"Does the senior know where he came from?" asked as he put Qiuqiu back in his palm and stroked his back as a gesture of reassurance.
"How much do you know about the Ancestral Demon Xuanming?"
"Ancestral Demon Xuanming!" Xiao Li couldn't help frowning, although he does not belong to the demon clan, but the human race often has the legend of the ancestral demon, people say that there are twelve ancestral demons, all of them should be born in nature, how each ancestral demon is in shape, what ability there is a description of the voice, but how many are true and credible but there is no way to verify, after all, no one has really witnessed the twelve ancestral demons.
"However, it is said that the ancestral demon Xuanming has a fish-faced bird body, and his body is extremely huge, no matter how rumors are rumored, it is impossible to have any resemblance to this ball that looks like a mouse and is not a mouse, right?" Thinking of this, he was even more surprised, and he didn't know why the ancient tree demon suddenly mentioned the ancestral demon Xuanming. He glanced at the meaty ball a few more times before replying, "I have heard a lot, the legend is that the Xuanming Ancestor has a fish-faced bird body, and the demon body is unpredictable. ”
The old man shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said slowly, "It seems that the human race today doesn't know the true situation of the Twelve Ancestral Demons, and what you mentioned is mostly rumors. The Xuanming Ancestral Demon lives far away in the North Underworld, and in the sea, he becomes a giant fish, and when he is in the air, he becomes a big bird. The Kun and Peng of the Northern Darkness are actually the two incarnations of the Xuanming Ancestral Demon. ”
"Kun...... Kunpeng is the two incarnations of the Xuanming Ancestral Demon?" Lili muttered to himself in astonishment, he couldn't have imagined that the Kunpeng, which the human race worshiped as a divine beast, was actually the incarnation of the Xuanming! From this, it can be seen how terrifying the ancestral demon is, and it can also be confirmed that the human race's statement about the huge body of the Xuanming Demon is not a rumor, and the fish-faced bird body may be the misunderstanding of the two incarnations of the Xuanming Demon by the human race.
"However, if the Terrans knew that they revered them incomparably and that the Kunpeng Divine Beast that was once regarded as a totem was the incarnation of the ancestral demon, how would they react, after all, the Terrans have always believed that the demons are bloody and insidious, and the existence of exterminating humanity is ......" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, not knowing whether to sigh at the ignorance of humans or to be a little incredulous about what the ancient tree demon said.
Then, he turned to ask, "Senior, I don't know what this little guy has to do with the ancestral demon Xuanming?"
Thinking about it carefully, Qiuqiu and Xuan Ming seem to be somewhat similar, and the three-faced owl once said that there seems to be an extremely large amount of energy in the ball, and it is precisely because of this that he can inhale and become larger, otherwise it will be difficult for him to support a body several zhang long with his fist-sized size. It is rumored that Kunpeng's body is thousands of miles away, but it is actually because he has endless energy in his body, which can support the almost infinite increase in his form. On weekdays, thousands of miles of body naturally cannot be his normal state, otherwise there is almost no place for him to survive, and there is no way to know how big his body size is under normal conditions.
The old man immediately looked at the ball in the palm of his hand, and said in a low voice, "Within the demon clan, there is a saying that has been passed down through the ages, 'Tianpeng is not raised, and Xuanming is the ancestor'. This sentence has its own origin, at the beginning of heaven and earth, a group of demons appeared, and at that time, Tianpeng once competed with Xuan Ming for the position of the ancestral demon!"
"God, Tianpeng, fighting for the position of the ancestral demon?" looked at the little guy lying in the palm of his hand, shaking his eyes from side to side, as if he was a little timid, and was stunned for a while.
