Chapter 37: Return to the Heavenly Palace
The merman lived in the depths of the East China Sea, but fortunately, the place where he stayed was already cold, and after soaking in the ice bucket for a long time, the blood curse in his body was slowly suppressed.
He got dressed, walked slowly back into the room, sat down on the edge of the bed, and checked her pulse again, but fortunately everything was fine.
The sudden explosion of Nuwa's divine power was something he didn't expect, everything happened too suddenly, but it undoubtedly proved that his guess was right, Xihe was the last Nuwa stone lost at the beginning of creation.
It is absolutely impossible for her master and Di Jun not to know this, knowing that she is Nuwa Stone, let her come to the world in the name of looking for Nuwa Stone, and at the same time, the finger spirit needle was destroyed but a Nuwa Stone totem came out of thin air, he could not believe that this was just a coincidence.
He sat on the edge of the bed, his expression unpredictable, his eyes faint.
His gaze finally fell on the bracelet on her right wrist, and after a long silence, he raised his hand to hold the bracelet, and after a moment of resting on the bracelet, when he withdrew his hand, the red thread in the bracelet was gone.
Following.
Changyuan sent the four of them to the end of the East China Sea as promised, and as soon as they left the East China Sea, they got closer and closer to the destination on the map, and the hope of Xihe and Xuegu in finding Nuwa Stone in their hearts became bigger and bigger, and they were relieved.
In order to be able to go back to their lives as soon as possible, they walked for several days without stopping, and did not rest for one night until they crossed the Qianli Mountain.
Xi He flipped out the map and looked at it repeatedly, if nothing else, it would only take half a month to reach the final location of the Nuwa Stone, the Blood Rose Abyss.
The difficulty is that the Blood Rose Abyss is the territory of the Kun Clan, since 80,000 years ago, the Kun Clan's leader Yu Ze died in the battle of gods and ghosts, the Kun Clan has become independent from the Demon Clan and has lived in the Blood Rose Ridge for a long time.
She sighed, and suddenly recalled that when she first came to the world, especially before she didn't know the existence of the Nuwa stone totem, she simply thought that the Nuwa stone was just an ordinary stone, and it was useless except to mend the sky.
She still remembered that when she was in Shuicheng, Xuan Li of the Three Frog Clan had inadvertently revealed a few words to her, and it was impossible to know whether this Nuwa Stone really contained the divine power of Tongtian.
Before Ling Yao gave her this task, she had only seen some records about Nuwa Niangniang mending the sky in the immortal books, and even her master had never mentioned to her the divine power contained in Nuwa Stone.
But if the rumors are false, why do they attract all kinds of fairies and demons to sacrifice their lives to move forward?
This last piece of Nuwa stone was lost at the beginning of the world, and its traces have long been unknown, I heard the master say that the aura of Nuwa Niangniang on the finger needle was still taken by Emperor Jun who went to the mouth of Jiuyang Mountain to make up the sky.
30,000 years ago, Nuwa Niangniang used her body to incarnate the spirit to fill the cracks at the top of the sky, and in the past hundred years, there are signs of re-cracking at the top of the sky, in order to completely stabilize Buzhou Mountain, you can only find the last Nuwa stone of the lost Three Realms, Di Jun used the imperial scepter to draw out only a few wisps of weak Nuwa aura, and then peeled it out of the body and wrapped it around the finger spirit needle.
The crack in the top of the sky dissipated a wisp of Nuwa's aura, and the cracking momentum became faster, which was also the reason why she and Xue Gu were in a hurry to find the Nuwa Stone.
However, before that, if there was already the existence of the Nuwa Stone Totem, maybe it would not be so troublesome, and the thing that made her feel the most incomprehensible was the existence of the Nuwa Stone Totem.
Along the way, it seems that people and demons other than the immortal clan know that the Nuwa stone totem is spread in the world, which is indeed strange, it stands to reason that even if the news of the immortal clan fails, it is impossible to be duller than the human world.
She didn't know how many times this Nuwa stone totem turned her hand before it fell into the Sui Palace, and all kinds of cause and effect in it were very problematic and exquisite, and when she got the Nuwa stone and went back to her life, she would report it truthfully.
Xihe had just rested in the room for a while, and Xue Gu hurriedly walked in from outside the door. ”
Since Yu Jingzi followed, the two often quarreled and quarreled, and they never stopped, after Xue Gu hit Yu Jingzi impulsively last time, she was still worried that she would drive Yu Jingzi away, or continue to give him a stump, and then what surprised her was that after coming out of the East China Sea, the two got along very well and were polite to each other.
But there is a good saying, rejoicing in enemies, loving and killing each other, even if they have been reconciled for a while, in the end it is still the word "kill".
Now when she saw Xue Gu coming to her in a hurry, the first thought that flashed through her mind was that the two of them must have quarreled again.
Xue Gu pursed her lips and replied with a frown, "In your eyes, am I such a naïve person?" ”
She smiled, thinking to herself, isn't that it?
But she didn't dare to say it, just laughed and didn't say anything.
She rubbed the back of her neck and asked, "Then what are you doing with me?" Looking at your face, I always feel that it is not a good thing. ”
What she said was true, Xue Gu suddenly received a recall instruction from the Heavenly Palace, they didn't know what was going on, but Xi He could still guess it in his heart.
When kneeling on the main hall of the heavenly palace, Xi He's heart was a little stunned, this was the second time in her life that she knelt on this hall, the first time she came was before the master took her to see Di Jun, explain the task, and entrust the mission.
At that time, Xue Gu happened to be playing in the mortal world, and Ling Yao ordered her to wait for her in Changping Town first.
Sitting on the top of the main hall is the majestic and inviolable Emperor Jun, he wears a golden crown, a golden silk phoenix robe, there is a golden emperor mole between his eyebrows, and next to the throne stands his vassal, holding the emperor Jun's six-foot-high imperial scepter, golden and gorgeous, and the top is a crested head, which is daunting.
Standing on both sides of the hall are the immortal officials and ministers, the civil officials on the left, the military attache on the right, and the rest of the columns, all of them with their heads held high, their expressions are solemn, holding the cards in their hands, holding them in front of their chests, and looking at the two fairies kneeling in the hall for a long time.
At this time, the emperor in the palace finally spoke, "Xue Gu, Ah Nu, this emperor heard a report from the inspector yesterday that when the two of you traveled to the lower realm to the East China Sea on this trip, you seriously injured the immortal realm criminal minister Yan Lin and saved the mermaid clan, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Hui Dijun, this is indeed the case." Xue Gu replied respectfully, "Xihe and I were ordered to patrol the Nether, and when we arrived at a town near the East China Sea, we happened to bump into the scene of the merman elder Changyuan being captured by mortals. ”
Being ordered to inspect the Nether Realm was just a pretense, and before going down to Earth, Di Jun repeatedly instructed Wan not to tell them about their Nether Realm looking for Nuwa Stone.
And after going down to earth this time, Xihe seemed to understand why she couldn't say it, although they didn't tell her about the use of Nuwa Stone in addition to mending the sky, but after all the twists and turns along the way, she knew in her heart that Nuwa Stone would be of great use.
And when it came to the merman being arrested, all the officials who were originally acting on the scene pricked up their ears and came to their senses.
Xue Gu continued to recall, "After Xihe and I rescued the captured Elder Changyuan from the hands of humans, when we walked to the edge of the East China Sea, we were stopped by a person, who was the Yanlin Immortal Monarch who fled to the Nether Realm, and it was the Yanlin Immortal Monarch who contributed to the disaster of the Shark Clan this time, which caused many people of the Shark Clan to be swallowed by mortals. ”
"Well, well done." Di Jun praised, and then asked, "Since you seriously injured Yan Lin, you must have caught him, so where is he so far?" ”
As soon as the second half of Di Jun's sentence was finished, there was a sudden murmuring of discussions in the originally quiet hall, in the fairy world, no one knew the name of Yan Lin Xianjun, when Yan Lin was the head of the military attaché, even Di Jun respected him for three points.
Even if his personal relationship with the demon woman was discovered later, Di Jun only put him in the heavenly prison and did not move the punishment, and the hundred officials of the immortal family also believed that it would not take long for Yan Lin to resume his position, and what is embarrassing is that three hundred years later, Yan Lin seriously injured the heavenly soldiers, fled to the nether world privately, and completely colluded with the demons, openly opposing the immortal clan.
However, Emperor Jun cherished his talents, and he was imprisoned in the prison in Yanlin, he was only temporarily sealed by Emperor Jun's mana, but it was not impossible for him to break free from Emperor Jun's seal within three hundred years with his skills, which was also a hidden danger buried by Emperor Jun's soft-heartedness at the beginning.
From this, it can be imagined that Yan Lin's mana cultivation is quite high, and there are only a handful of people who can compete with it in the Three Realms, so this is why there was a lot of discussion when Di Jun said that Xue Gu and Xi He, two mediocre and stateless fairies, seriously injured the invincible Yan Lin.
After a burst of discussion stopped, the hall fell silent again, and Xue Gu was not reluctant to answer Di Jun's words, but did not know how to answer for a while.
She watched the mountain ghost take out the pure demon bottle and accept Yanlin, she knew the origin of the pure demon bottle, and everyone here knew everything about the pure demon bottle, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense, on the other hand, she thought that Xihe would go to the mountain ghost to return to Yanlin, but at present, it seems that she thinks too much.
"Aunt Xue, Ah Nu, wasn't Yan Lin subdued by the two of you?" The emperor in the palace asked again, and his tone was gentle, but he was impatient.
Xihe bowed his head and made a fairy salute, took a deep breath, and replied respectfully, "Hui Dijun, Yan Lin was indeed seriously injured, but he was too seriously injured, and it didn't take long for him to disappear. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the immortal officials in the palace began to mumble again, turning heads and ears.
She sighed helplessly in her heart, she couldn't tell the truth about the whole thing, even if she could tell the existence of Yujingzi, the son of the snake king, but she couldn't shake out the mountain ghost.
Along the way, she had repeatedly suspected him many times, whether it was a demon or a demon or a fairy, or an existence that she had not touched, but she could not be completely sure who he was, and the only thing she could be sure of was that his origin was not simple.
If she said his existence, she didn't know if it would cause him trouble, the last time he was in Shuicheng, she could feel from his tone that he had a deep misunderstanding of the fairy world, especially Di Jun.
But she is not a person without conscience, although she does not know his true identity and the purpose of approaching them, but so far, he has never had crooked thoughts, but has always helped her and protected her.
Di Jun's expression moved slightly, "Oh? Are you telling the truth? ”
