Volume 14 Chapter 22 Mending the Sky (Part II)
The Heavenly Demon who was killed by Wu Xie seemed to have a very high status, and when it was killed, the surrounding Heavenly Demon army suddenly showed a panic, allowing Li Yan and them to get a long rest.
Taking advantage of this time, Wu Xie had a hearty drink with Lei Sheng Zhenren and Huo Longzi, and also exchanged combat experience.
The three of them are all top masters, Wu Xie is good at controlling fire, Huo Longzi is good at combining wind and fire, and Lei Sheng Zhenren is good at manipulating lightning. They chatted while drinking, and used their understanding of spells to serve as snacks, which was quite merry.
When he learned that Wu Xie was also interested in thunder and lightning spells, Lei Sheng Zhenren taught him some of the lightning control methods he was best at, and finally sighed and said: "There is no one in the world who is good at using thunder and lightning than the Great Light God Sect." Legend has it that they were once taught by the Fighting God of the Incarnation, and the Fighting God's thunder control technique was incredibly strong, and even the immortal gods and demons were blown to pieces by her......"
"Brother Wu, my lightning control methods are really nothing. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must go to the people of the Great Light God Sect to communicate. They are very talkative, and they will surely ⊥ your skill in manipulating thunder and lightning to the next level."
Wu Xie was naturally humble and complimented him very much.
This Lei Sheng Zhenren has strong skills, a heroic personality, and is jealous and hateful, and can be called a model for people in the righteous path. It is a great honor to be able to toast with him after a long time between them
Not long after, before the offensive of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons had been organized, Liyan's ceremony to mend the heavens had already been prepared.
Except for a very small number of people who were in charge of maintaining the formation, the rest of the soldiers all knelt down towards the tower-like Taimiao and prayed silently. Accompanied by his two daughters, Liyan, who had changed into a robe, walked through the kneeling crowd and slowly climbed the tower.
Wu Jie, who was guarding a key node of a formation, couldn't help but raise his head and look at the tower.
The figures of the father and daughter soon appeared in front of the blazing cyan flame, and he led the two princesses to worship heaven and earth first, then comfort the emperor, and then pray silently - and then, the two princesses resolutely jumped into the flame, and in an instant turned into two flames, merging into the cyan flame.
The firelight suddenly brightened a lot.
Wu Xie was taken aback, he didn't expect that this ceremony of mending the sky would take people as sacrifices, let alone that the person who served as a sacrifice turned out to be Liyan's biological daughter
"What's going on," he exclaimed.
"Why is Brother Wu so alarmed?" Lei Shengzhenren's voice came from not far away, but with a strange sense of alienation, "Mend the sky, isn't that what it is." ”
Wu Xie felt that his whole body was stiff, and slowly turned his head to look at Lei Sheng Zhenren.
"Back then, we followed Taizu to fight the Nine Heavens, sweep away the demons, and then try to mend the spatial cracks. But no matter what treasure we use or what spells we cast, we can't fix it. At this time, Taizu remembered a story that Master Hua Xian had told in the past. ”
"What...... Tale? ”
"The past is too ancient, and the heavenly dome is broken. Our Lady Nuwa refines the five-colored stones, wanting to make up for the sky. However, the stone could not make up for the sky, and when Nuwa saw that all living beings were miserable and displaced, she jumped into the cracks of the heavenly dome and sacrificed herself to make up for the sky. Now the occasional flash of light in the sky at night is the blood stain left by the Virgin Mary mending the sky. ”
Wu Xie didn't say a word, he already understood.
After Taizu finished speaking, he planned to jump into the crack to mend the sky, but an old brother stopped him and jumped in first. Lei Sheng sighed, "Sure enough, the crack was mended—later we studied it again, and found that the person who went to mend the sky needed to have luck, and the stronger the luck, the better the effect of mending the sky." ”
“…… Study? How was it studied? Wu Xie felt that his voice was a little astringent.
"How else can you do it?" Lei Sheng Zhenren smiled, "Look at the sky above the nine heavens, now there is only this crack left. ”
Wu Xie exhaled deeply, feeling as if his whole person was being pressed by a boulder, and it was very difficult to even breathe.
Mend the sky, mend the sky...... It turns out that every crack in the sky is mended with flesh and blood
It is no wonder that the Holy Emperor Dynasty has declined for three generations, and every time the sky is mended, there must be loyal and brave heroes with great luck to sacrifice, and over time, how can the Holy Emperor Dynasty not decline
Recalling the complete sky of his own time, Wu Xie seemed to have one hero after another jumping into the crack in the space, giving up his life to cut off the future troubles in the world.
Now...... There was only one biggest crack left in the sky......
Thinking of this, he was suddenly startled, and felt that the hairs on his body stood up.
Before leaving the words, he cast spells in Chang'an City in order to use the luck of Kyushu to condense the Dharma body and purify his own bloodline. So...... Why did he do this?
Thinking of this, Wu Xie hurriedly turned his head to look at the tower.
Standing in front of the flame that had devoured his own daughters, Liyan looked back at the ground, just in line with his gaze.
"Senior brother" Wu Xie exclaimed.
A smile appeared on Liyan's face: "Mending the sky is the fate of leaving the family, and it is also the glory of leaving the family." Since Taizu, we have made up our minds to fill all the cracks in the sky, so that the extraterritorial heavenly demons can no longer invade the world on a large scale - three generations, more than a thousand years, and the long-cherished wish of leaving home can finally be realized. ”
"I am happy, because I have a queen who shares my weal and sorrow, and does not complain until death; There are daughters who are willing to support me and risk their lives; There are subordinates who follow me all the way and fight all the way, and they are also willing to do ......."
"I am blessed because I have had the privilege of going through countless years to witness the fruits of our business, and to receive countless admiration and worship from stories, books, and people's words
"This should have been shared by everyone, but it was monopolized by the family, and there is nothing wrong with paying some price for it."
Wu Xie wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"I'm happy, really, I'm happy," Liyan smiled, turned his head, and jumped into the flame.
His body instantly turned into a cyan flame, setting off the holy flame with incomparably brilliance, and the dazzling blue light illuminated the entire square, illuminated the entire Shenghuang City, and also illuminated the entire heavenly dome.
In the black sky, a crack that was darkened deeper and filled with a strange and dark aura was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast in the wilderness, which was terrifying.
But the cyan flames surged up like a tide towards the crack.
"Ha Lu Ha it's also my turn" Lei Sheng Zhenren and Fire Dragon Zi laughed at the same time, jumped up, turned into two rays of light and followed the cyan fire, and rushed towards the crack together.
Immediately after them, almost all the masters in the square flew up, turning into rays of light, and rushing towards the crack one after another.
Wu Xie and Tao Tu stood there stunned, watching these masters rush into the crack, countless rays of light bursting, connecting into one, merging with the cyan flames, and patching up the huge crack bit by bit.
At the end of the day, there was only a blue glow in the sky, and there was no longer the deep crack.
Looking elsewhere, you can see that there are many such cyan glows in the sky, and the glows reflect each other, even if it is a cold night, it also makes people's hearts hot.
All the cracks in the sky have finally been filled.
From now on, the people of the land of Kyushu no longer have to fear the invasion of extraterritorial heavenly demons, and Chang'an City, which has guarded the world countless times and has become a fortress, can finally usher in real long-term peace
Wu Xie and the clay stood there motionless, staring at the cyan glow, for a long time, for a long time.
I don't know when a strange feeling of dizziness came over them, and everything around them seemed to shake, and when this shaking stopped, they found that they had left the square at some point and appeared on a street that looked a little familiar.
There were ruins, broken weapons, and corpses strewn everywhere, but everything seemed to be brand new, and there was no trace of old age, even the corpses and blood marks on the walls and roadsides were unsettling—they could even see that several corpses were bleeding, apparently just dead.
"Senior brother, what's going on?" Tao Tu felt that these days, he had received countless mental impacts, so that in the face of such a strange scene, he could actually complain calmly, "I just made up for the sky, why did it become like this in a blink of an eye, so give me a little psychological buffer time."
Wu Xie didn't complain, his eyes wandered around repeatedly, and finally determined that this was the place where they had been teleported from Qingyang Mountain to the Holy Emperor City not long ago.
"It's where we've been before." He said, "I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, but I want to...... Let's go to the Taimiao Temple first. If there is a clue, the greatest possibility is there. ”
Of course, the clay had no opinion on this, so the two of them set off and walked towards the Taimiao according to the direction in their memory.
But not long after they set off, they heard strange noises.
Clucking, crunching, clucking, like a rat gnawing on something.
The two looked at each other and did not stop.
No matter what is weird, the most important thing in front of you is to rush to the temple as soon as possible. Other than that, everything else should be put aside.
But they don't look for trouble, but trouble comes to them. After walking for a while, the creaking sound was already everywhere in all directions, especially the densest in front of it, as if there were countless rats blocking the way.
The two sighed and stopped.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple," clay complained, "It's become a routine, and every time something troublesome happens."
Wu Xie smiled, didn't say anything, raised his hand and released a few firebirds to fly forward, with a hint of divine sustenance, to see what was going on in front of him.
However, there are no special cases ahead. If there is any problem, it is that there are a lot of corpses on the road ahead......
He frowned, lost in thought.
