Chapter 45 and Yu
The young man said that the preface did not match the afterword, and Fang Xu had the heart to ask him but he couldn't continue. Her father is her most important knot, but she is unwilling to let go of the slightest bit of news.
"Probably twenty years ago, I just accidentally flowed into a space-time slit when I was drifting in the Sunset Sea, and fell into the Bodhi Sea of the Demon Realm, and then I met the man who looked like you." The young man put away his giggling expression and recalled.
The appearance of the young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and Fang Xu found that he only had a cultivation in the Qi cultivation period, and if he said that he had been practicing since he was a child, it was okay to enter the Qi training period at the age of fifteen or sixteen and fix his appearance, so he nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"At first, I didn't know that the ocean was the Bodhi Sea of the Demon Realm, but I seemed to be in eternal daylight, and I couldn't see the night, and my compass was useless." The boy continued to reminisce, the firewood in the cave crackled as it burned, and the warm light shook and gradually covered everyone.
"Then I met the man, he was on a boat, he seemed to be searching for something, and he found me and rescued me on the boat." The young man continued, but began to swallow, "Actually, I can't remember what happened next, at that time, I was just a beginner monk in the Qi cultivation period, and I had already lost most of my vitality through the gap in time and space, and I was already delirious when he found me. โ
"I didn't know what he used in a half-dream, I sent me back to Sunset so I could send out a distress signal with my last breath." After the boy finished speaking, he said that he had nothing more to say.
However, Fang Xu and Hui Lan fell into deep thought because of his words. When a monk passes through the gap in time and space, his body and soul will be damaged to a certain extent, and a gap in time and space that can be passed through alive by a monk who has just practiced qi must not be too large, and it will never be able to cross the border, it is very likely that it is only a distance of one hundred and ten miles compressed. And a gap in time and space that allowed him to travel from the Sunset Sea to the Bodhi Sea, across the two realms, seemed like an impossible thing.
"How did you know it was the Demon Realm Bodhi Sea?" Fang Xu asked.
"What the man said, in a daze, I heard him say, 'How can there be a human monk in the Bodhi Sea, and he is still a child', and then my impression is intermittent, not even a piece, I only know that he must have brought me back to the human world." The young man yawned as he spoke, as if he hadn't rested for a long time, "If you don't plan to kill me, I'll sleep for a while, I haven't rested since I entered this secret realm of mountains and seas." With that, he found a comfortable position by the fire, and fell asleep.
Fang Xu and Hui Lan were speechless and leaned away, and Hui Lan said: "If the donor is tired, he can also rest, and the poor monk will keep vigil." โ
Fang continued to reply: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and I can eliminate my fatigue by using the Pure Heart Exercise in a week, and then change the master to rest." Hui Lan nodded, and did not refuse.
Fang Xu's soul was settled, his divine consciousness returned to the sea of consciousness to rest, and his spiritual power circulated in his body according to Zhou Tian, taking away the turbidity generated by the tiredness of the body. She found her natal star in the sea of knowledge, and carefully felt the direction of the natal star of the same door.
She found that He Hongxue and Yang Yi's life stars were very close to her, and they should be near her.
She was not in a hurry to find them, and the most important thing now was to rest herself so that she could catch up with them.
He Hongxue and his party in the underground finally reached the end of the narrower and narrower road, where there was no mechanism, only a fence gate that opened when pushed.
On the other side of the door is a hall, and the black hole can't be seen at a glance, and you can only vaguely see that there seems to be a big tripod in the middle. Yang Yi was the first to walk into the hall with a portable lantern powered by spirit stones, looked up at the top of the hall, and verified one of their conjectures - this dungeon was indeed made up of the bones of many huge beasts.
He looked at the spine above his head, and felt a chill down his spine.
"Brother Yi, look here, there are murals." He Xinyue shouted, and everyone gathered around the wall to look carefully. The closest to them was a verdant jungle with a number of giant four-legged beasts.
"Brother Yi, is this just ...... Dinosaur? He Xinyang thought back to the speculations of several people in the tunnel and asked curiously.
"Keep looking" Yang Yi didn't draw a conclusion, but he agreed in his heart. The giant creatures are accompanied by huge plants, which are taller than today's plants in terms of proportion.
As they walked along the mural, they noticed that human beings began to appear in the picture. As intelligent creatures, humans quickly learned to survive and fight on the records of the murals.
A part of humanity has learned to absorb the power of nature and drive it to its own use, to grow stronger.
Further on, there is the image of humans besieging and killing huge creatures. Giant creatures and humans are defeated in the battle for survival materials and are ruthlessly hunted by humans.
Seeing this, everyone found that probably because of the circulation of the air, the ever-bright lights in the hall were lit up, and Yang Yi put away the portable lamp.
"This is? Dinosaurs killed by humans? He Xinyang felt a cool breath rising from the soles of his feet, he knew the importance of survival materials, but even on the murals, the bloody slaughter could still reveal a primitive killing intent.
Some of the humans in the painting ride huge creatures and fight their kind, "These are the spirit beasts that have signed a contract with humans." He Hongxue said, and several people looked at the mural and were about to circle the hall.
At the end of the mural, humans surround the corpses of huge creatures as trophies, as if offering sacrifices to something.
The crowd looked at the huge tripod in the hallโperhaps this was the place where the sacrifice took place.
The moon wipes the sky, the stars sink and the river flows quietly to the east, the shadow is sparse and slanted, and the soup is not mausoleum. The demon moon in the polar night is the yang, and the yang is also the moon.
He Hongxue broke away from Yang Yi's embrace and slowly sneaked aimlessly along the Xingshen River, Zhang Mu didn't know what she was thinking, and only followed behind her.
The two of them went one after the other, and the moon sank completely into the river. He Hongxue spun and turned, breathing deeply into the air of the Demon Realm, which seemed to be no different from the human world.
"What else are you hiding from me?" He Hongxue didn't look back, and a faint voice came from the front.
Zhang Mu tilted his head, thinking about how to answer her.
"Three, two, one."
"I arranged for the demons to go to various sects to sneak attack their material warehouses when Yuyuntai received an attack."
"Sure enough, Mr. Mu really won't just consume human resources just to come to Yuyuntai to have a good time." He Hongxue still didn't turn around, the slim black dress wrapped her slender legs, only her ankles were exposed in the moonlight, and her thin heels shattered the starlight.
"Do you think this Chong'an City is beautiful?" Zhang Mu asked her. He Hongxue stopped and looked at the flickering lights of Chong'an City.
Without waiting for her answer, he continued: "Before robbing those sects, Chong'an City had not been lit for ten days, and in the language of the Demon Realm, it was a 'power outage'. โ
"Electricity?"
"Chong'an City processes the natural spiritual power, and after the catalyst conversion, it forms a secondary energy source that can be used, which is 'electricity', and its essence is similar to thunder and lightning, so we will also collect heavenly thunder to use."
He Hongxue nodded, and a group of children ran in front of her, shouting and running, looking no different from children in the world.
"I know what you're going to say, demons are also life, demons also have to survive, and survival must be to grab resources for their own people." He Hongxue said without emotion, as if she remembered something from the past, "I know, just like then, you just did something beneficial to your race. โ
"Each of us will choose something that is good for our race." Zhang Mu said, "I am so, and you will be so." โ
"But, Zhang Mu." He Hongxue finally raised her head and looked straight at He Hongxue's peachy eyes, "These don't constitute a reason for you to take advantage of my feelings." โ
"As I said, if my sincerity is false, my falsehood is also sincerity."
He Hongxue shook his head with a smile: "Zhang Mu, I really don't know whether to say that your mind is simple or complicated, is it true that the demons are like this?" โ
Zhang Mugang was about to say something, but He Hongxue took the first step and said, "Put these aside first, and continue to take me around Chong'an City." As soon as the words fell, a sharp alarm sounded in Chong'an City, and He Hongxue always felt that he had seen this meeting somewhere.
"It's an earthquake alert." Zhang Mu still remembers the sound of different alarms, "The foundation of Chong'an City is unstable, and earthquake alarms are not uncommon. He pulled He Hongxue to walk on an open and spacious road and walked to the square where the crowd gathered.
Large and small demons of different skin colors, body shapes, and appearances were also crowded in the square, and after a while, there was a great vibration on the ground, and it could be felt that the epicenter was coming from the bottom of Chong'an City.
The street lights in the square flickered and flickered, but in the end they were still strong and lit, providing a glimmer of light for the demons who were hiding in the square for refuge. After a few aftershocks, the signal to lift the defense sounded in the city, and the demons in the square dispersed one after another, each going to check their own losses, and maybe some places had to be repaired again. The crowd was crowded, and He Hongxue was separated from Zhang Mu like this.
He Hongxue didn't object to her intentionality, she really didn't want to forgive this guy like this, she needed the space and time to stay by herself for a while.
She continued to walk along the flow of people to the middle of Chong'an City, the commotion just now did not seem to have had much impact on the residents in the city, it seems that compared to the earthquake, the power outage is the urgent need.
He Hongxue's hand touched the cold masonry wall, this was the Demon Realm, the city-state where their old enemies of humanity lived.
was walking aimlessly in the city, and met an acquaintance, no, a familiar demon.
"Isn't this Lord He Hongxue?" Such an oily tone is the demon general who negotiated with her at Dengsendai in Yuyuntai that day - He Yu.
