Chapter 43: The Stratagem of the Sea of Stars
The gap between the Star Demon and Chen Qingshan's imagination is a bit big, but in fact, their appearance is very good.
The star demon that Chen Qingshan and Sanzang saw was humanoid, less than a foot tall, with a white head and no face, only two eyes like candles.
The body is slender, with hands and no feet, suspended in mid-air, and a golden streak extends from its forehead to all parts of its body.
This is the Star Demon, not ugly, but also somewhat sacred.
A one-realm star demon, Chen Qingshan used a flying sword to pass through its body, cut open the head, and took out a fire, this fire is the origin of the star demon, and it is also the thing that resists the dry night.
The dry night was about to fall, and Chen Qingshan and Sanzang had collected a total of three fires, one of which was the second realm.
Above Beichen, in the extreme south, is the dry region, and the night rises from the dry region, slowly enveloping the entire North Star.
The North Star turned into pitch black, and the dry night became an iron curtain, and the North Star at this time was the cultivation of the Eight Realms of Sumeru, and it was impossible to enter.
With the arrival of the dry night, the fire flew out of Chen Qingshan's hand and fell between the two of them, and the firelight illuminated a place close to two zhang, and two zhang away, it was as black as ink.
Starlight slowly spilled out of the fire, consumed.
There was a yin wind, and they did not disperse around the two, but they were afraid of the fire, and could only continue to wander in the dark.
Until the second half of the night, there was a sudden wail echoing in the four fields, followed by the sound of sacrifice, and the sound of grievances singing eulogies that Chen Qingshan did not understand.
The fire in the lamp slowly turned dark blue, the range of the fire narrowed to one zhang, the singing stopped, Chen Qingshan and Sanzang heard the sound of chains dragging and then chewing, what was imprisoned in this dry night, and what was eating.
"Will they be the ones we are waiting for? We're running out of it. There was a faint sound, and when it reached Chen Qingshan, it turned into a wail.
Someone walked in the dry night and watched Chen Qingshan and Sanzang.
Chen Qingshan felt a little cold, so he took out the fire of the Second Realm Star Demon, and the fire light jumped, returning to normal, and everything was silent.
The watcher slowly walked away.
The east was white, and the first dry night passed, and the three fires collected by Chen Qingshan were also consumed in the dry night.
Chen Qingshan walked with Sanzang for a while, and saw a lot of bones, they were people who had not survived the dry night, they had no flesh and blood, and the bones were also withered, as if they had been eaten clean by this dry night.
These bones, both the Tang Dynasty and the Sea of Stars, after all, are dry nights, and they are not divided into camps.
Seeing that these bones were pitiful, Sanzang chanted the mantra of death, opened a pit next to it, picked up these bones one by one, and then put them into the pit, which was regarded as entering the earth for peace.
Seeing this, Chen Qingshan came over to help, these bones were very light, as if they had no weight. Perhaps, these dead people have lost their weight, no matter who they were when they were alive.
The monks of this world are all seeking eternal life, and they have fallen on the road to eternal life.
Become a nameless dry bone, no monument and no grave.
The monks of the Sea of Stars, Chen Qingshan took their jade slips, but the Tang Dynasty, Chen Qingshan did not move.
Chen Qingshan and Sanzang were collecting the bones, and the monks of the Sea of Stars came from the west, a man and a woman, all of whom were in the second realm.
The man is from the Shan family and is named Tuoba Ashan, and the woman is from the Yun family and is named Tuoba Qingyun.
"Tuoba Qingyun, how many Tang monks have we cleaned up?" Tuoba Ahsan, carrying a giant axe, asked.
"It's nearly a hundred, except for the young master of the Wang family who used the sword, let him run away, he should be the descendant of the Tang Heavenly Sword Marquis, but there are some means." Tuoba Qingyun Road.
"Hmm." Tuoba Ahsan nodded.
Then Tuoba Ahsan took off the giant axe on his shoulder, and he saw Chen Qingshan and the others in the distance.
Feeling the gaze, Chen Qingshan put down the work in his hand and remained silent, just taking out his sword.
Tuoba Ahsan grinned, and rushed towards Chen Qingshan and Sanzang, stepping on the earth and rocks under his feet, and his momentum opened the mountain.
"Tuoba Ashan, wait!" At this time, Tuoba Qingyun's figure flickered and stopped Tuoba Ashan.
Chen Qingshan and Tuoba Ahsan were both stunned.
"Tuoba Qingyun, what do you mean by this? How do you go to this group of fine-skinned pigs. "Tuoba Ahsan took up his axe.
"You're still only going to fight and kill, what are they doing?" Tuoba Qingyun Road.
Tuoba Ahsan saw the dry bones in Sanzang's hand that had not yet been put down, which belonged to the Xingchen Sea monks.
"Settle in the ground. The two of them are not divided into the Tang Dynasty, they are still the sea of stars. Tuoba Qingyun said slowly.
"They don't deserve to die, at least not for now." Tuoba Qingyun said again.
"It's two peculiar pigs, lucky for you both! This time, we won't kill you! Tuoba Ahsan said loudly.
Chen Qingshan was silent and put away his sword.
Tuoba Ashan and Tuoba Qingyun walked past Chen Qingshan and Sanzang, and the four of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither of them did anything.
Seeing the two leave, Chen Qingshan and Sanzang cleaned up the remaining bones.
"Aoyama, where are we going?" Sanzang asked.
"They went to the east, and they didn't like us, so let's go west." Chen Qingshan said.
After packing up the bones, Chen Qingshan and Sanzang set off.
Chen Qingshan and Sanzang met some monks from the Tang Dynasty, and they were rushing to the Great Plains for a bloody battle.
When asked why, they said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had set up a gathering place in the Great Plains of the Bloody Battle, and gathered everyone together to act together.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has collected enough fire, and when we get there, we won't have to worry about the dry night." One person, with gratitude in his eyes to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Oh, is it all gone?" Chen Qingshan asked the man.
"Not really, there are still some lone people who are confident in their own strength." The man replied, and invited Chen Qingshan to go with Sanzang.
However, Chen Qingshan and Sanzang refused, neither Chen Qingshan nor Sanzang liked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much.
Chen Qingshan asked, if one day, the prince becomes the Holy Emperor and insists on dealing with all monks, how should Sanzang deal with himself at that time.
Sanzang smiled and said, "What else, the battle is over." ”
"Don't hesitate to overturn the world?" Chen Qingshan asked.
"Don't hesitate to overturn the world." Sanzang replied.
Chen Qingshan shook his head and said that he didn't know if Sanzang was cultivating Buddha or not.
Sanzang said that he didn't know either, but he knew that Shizun couldn't die, so it was enough.
"The Buddha wants to cross the world, we are not Buddhas, if we can protect one or two people in this world, it will be enough."
"Yes, I've always felt that peace is a good thing."
The two of them encountered a few more star demons and hunted them casually, tonight's fire should be enough.
A second-realm star demon appeared, with a leopard-like appearance, with a body length of nearly six zhang, and was chasing and killing a little Taoist, who did not cultivate, but ran faster than the second-realm star demon.
When the little Taoist priest saw Chen Qingshan and Sanzang, his eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted: "Chen Qingshan, save me!" ”
This little Taoist priest is none other than the thirteenth Daoist of Nashan Stone Town.
Being chased around by the Star Demon and the Star Sea Monk on the North Star Star, he is now going to be tortured and crying.
A stream of sword qi appeared from the earth, slicing the neck of the star demon and rolling Dao Thirteen over.
Dao Thirteen fell to the ground, and the three of them stared at each other.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm looking for you."
Dao 13 explained that after the mountain king woke up, he set out and borrowed the road from the state capitals to the Great Wall in the north.
Chen Qingshan asked why Thirteen knew that he was on the Great Wall in the North.
Dao 13 wiped his snot, smiled, and said that he had dreamed of it, and he dreamed that Chen Qingshan appeared on this Beichen Star, so he followed.
Chen Qingshan didn't know what to say, but he felt that the cheap Dao Thirteen in front of him was still so unreliable.
It's just the dream of Dao Thirteen, which is really weird.
"I also dreamed of a man, a man covered in blood, who is also on this North Star, and he is looking for you." Tao 13 and Dao.
Dao Thirteen's words made Chen Qingshan feel a little inexplicably cold. When Chen Qingshan asked where the man was and what he was doing, Dao 13 shook his head, saying that he didn't know.
It's just like a dream, and he said, "That's not one person, it's a group of people, a group of sad people." ”
Whether it was Sanzang's inexplicable entry into the flesh and bone forest, or the words of Dao Thirteen now, Chen Qingshan felt that this Beichen Star might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
When Chen Qingshan was talking to Dao Thirteen.
Tuoba Ashan, who had just had a relationship with Chen Qingshan, and Tuoba Qingyun had already passed the abyss of the star core.
When they came to the foot of the blade mountain of the ancestor of the mountain, they knelt down in front of him, as if on a pilgrimage.
On that day, the confusion was shattered, and the relatives of the ancestor of the mountain also fell, and the Qi obviously saw that it flowed into the sea of stars, but the two great powers of Tuoba Mountain and Tuoba Yunshui searched for a long time, but they did not find their whereabouts.
In the end, he even alarmed the ancestor Tuoba Ancient Mountain, and when Tuoba Ancient Mountain went to search for it in person, it was unsuccessful, but it was calculated that Qi was reincarnated as a human in the sea of stars.
As for this stem, it fell on the North Star and turned into a blade mountain.
The king of Pingbei of the Tang Dynasty and the ancestor of the sea of stars, Tuoba Yuntian, did not hesitate to fight for this blade mountain.
It's just that in the end, they found that no one could take this blade mountain away, this mountain was too heavy, even the cultivation of the Eight Realms, and they couldn't lift it even if they were almost standing at the top of the world.
The monk of the Sea of Stars thought of a way to turn the entire North Star into a majestic city like the abyss.
When the time comes, with the Beichen Star as the foundation, urge the mountain ancestor to dry, when the time comes, the Great Wall can be broken, an axe split the king of Pingbei, straight into Chang'an.
Now Tuoba Qingyun and Tuoba Ashan, what they are doing is to lay a formation foundation under the stem of the mountain ancestor, so that the stem of the mountain ancestor will become an existence similar to the eye of the array, and such a formation base, on the Beichen Star, there are eighty-one, avoiding the flesh and bone forest and the dry domain, and scattered on the entire Beichen Star.
When the time comes, starting with the dry, the entire Beichen will be invaded. As for how to make Gan wake up, the monks of the Xingchen Sea chose blood sacrifice, not blood sacrifice to others, but the person who is closest to the bloodline of the ancestor of the mountain in this generation, and opened the way with blood.
Tuoba Qingyun just knelt down and saluted, while Tuoba Ashan fell directly to the ground and threw his body to the ground.
Tuoba Ahsan felt that only in this way could he show his respect for the ancestor of the mountain.
After the worship, Tuoba Qingyun and Tuoba Ashan stood up, looking at the stem of the ancestor of the mountain, and their eyes showed yearning.
