Chapter 925: Death Doesn't Blind Eyes
Lei Jiuyun reminded as he walked: "Although you are not a stranger to Weizhi City, but now if you want to enter the tomb of the Demon Emperor, the only way is to honestly follow my arrangement, and do not question, if you use your judgment to influence my strategy, then don't blame me for failure." ”
Nie Xian just hummed and didn't say a word.
Lei Jiuyun was a little disappointed, but also a little satisfied, in short, I don't know why, in the face of this guy whose expression is always so cold and indifferent, she became more and more emotionally sensitive. She felt that her experience after so many years had been invulnerable, but she didn't know that she had been poisoned at some point, a poison that made her start to become different from her past self.
"The path you are taking now is different from any road you know to go to Weizhi City. ”
Lei Jiuyun continued: "The Demon Clan's ruler Demon Domain has been in the Demon Domain for so long, so everything that looks on the surface is what the Demon Clan is willing to let outsiders see. Where others can't see, the power under the management of the demon clan is even more terrifying. That's why I said before that the Demon Emperor Lei Mei'er would be so panicked when she ascended the throne. Because Lei Fushen may not be able to pull her off the throne, but some people can, and these people don't rely on the power of cultivation. ”
"What's that?"
Nie Xian asked.
Lei Jiuyun laughed, and it seemed that she was very happy that Nie Xian said a few more words to her: "Everyone who inherits the position of the Demon Emperor, because there is that kind of bad luck in their body that may mutate, will drop a few drops of their purest blood into the Demon Emperor Treasure Book. ”
She was afraid that Nie Xian wouldn't understand what the Demon Emperor Treasure Book was, so she explained about this thing first: "A long, long time ago, when the first Demon Emperor who appeared to be transformed showed extremely terrifying strength, those elders of the Demon Clan began to be afraid, and of course they began to prepare. The first thing they thought of was the Demon Emperor's Treasure Book, a book made in a way I didn't know about, rumored to be a book, but I hadn't seen it. ”
"Every new emperor ascends the throne, and he has to drip his purest blood into the Demon Emperor's Treasure Book, forming a certain contractual relationship. And no one knows who is in charge of this book. But there is no doubt that this person has no cultivation power. Because of this, it is more difficult for people to find this person. This man survives in a special way, and his mission is to keep the book. ”
"Even when the Demon Emperor ascended the throne and dripped blood, he couldn't see this person, only the books on a treasure platform. However, this book is not a treasure, but a fake. The fake tome will draw the blood out of the shadows and into the true tome, and then the contractual relationship will be formed. If once the Demon Emperor shows signs of corpse transformation before he dies, then the person in charge of the treasure book can easily erase him, and some people say that it is a pen as for the way of erasure. ”
She glanced at Nie Xian: "Use that pen to cross out the name on the Demon Emperor's Treasure Book, then the corpse Demon Emperor will die." ”
Nie Xian frowned slightly, always feeling that this statement was too unpredictable, so it was more like a fake. In fact, many things that seem profound and incomprehensible can have a very direct and crude answer, which is deception. If the deception is not skilled, how can you deceive people?
"So, why hasn't a single Demon Emperor been killed?"
Nie Xian raised his own questions.
Lei Jiuyun said: "Because of human nature, every demon emperor who transforms into a corpse is terrifying, and it is an indisputable fact that he can cause huge killings. But in the eyes of some people, the Demon Emperor of the Corpse Transformation also has other functions. If it can be used, it is tantamount to storing a group of peerless masters for the demon race. So that's the kind of thinking that this thing is terrible, but this thing is so useful. ”
She said these words with a bit of playfulness, a side she had never shown to anyone else.
However, Nie Xian didn't seem to pay attention, and just nodded: "Yes, because of greed, I don't want to destroy things that threaten me." ”
Lei Jiuyun said: "So some people say that the treasure book does not exist at all. It's just a means for those elders to control the Demon Emperor, they are worried that their status will be erased by the Demon Emperor, and they want to maintain their family's influence over the entire Demon Domain. But later, each generation of Demon Emperors would rather believe it. ”
Nie Xian said: "I think it's more likely that this kind of thing doesn't exist. If the corpse demons in the Demon Emperor's Tomb were really that powerful, Lei Mei'er should be thinking about releasing her ancestors now. The six-legged insect king is too much of a threat to her, as long as she calculates, she hides by herself, and then releases the corpse demon. Then even if the corpse demon can't kill the six-legged insect king, he can still hit it hard, and it may even kill Xu Ji. ”
Lei Jiuyun said: "It's not that she doesn't want to, but she can't, because she doesn't know how to release the corpse demon." ”
Nie Xian was stunned: "Then how would you know." ”
Lei Jiuyun replied as a matter of course: "Even the Demon Emperor doesn't know, how can I know." ”
Nie Xian was stunned: "Then what are you going to take me for?" I don't know the way to release it, which means that you don't know the way to get in." ”
Lei Jiuyun said: "I don't know, but someone knows, it just so happens that this person can't beat me." So now we have to go to Weizhi City first, and then enter the Jingyi Hall, if we are lucky, we may not need to fight. ”
"Do you know why this place is called Mt. Takina?"
Lei Jiuyun looked relaxed, or maybe she just deliberately made such a performance, after all, the choice she had to make was much more difficult than Nie Xian's. All the dangers that Nie Xian had to face could be called opponents or enemies, and in order to help Chen Xi, Lei Jiuyun faced his own clan and some friends who had known him for a long time.
"Why?"
Nie Xian actually felt the sadness in Lei Jiuyun's heart, so he asked cooperatively.
Lei Jiuyun said with a smile: "Because this is actually another Apocalypse Mountain, in order to keep the tomb of the Demon Emperor secret, the master of the Demon Clan made a mirror image in a very deep place under the Apocalypse Mountain, that is, the upside-down Apocalypse Mountain. Now you think it's nothing, but in reality we're walking head-down. The reason why it is called Chongming Mountain is because it is no different from Tianqi Mountain. The difference is that the mountain is a passage. ”
Nie Xian couldn't help but ask, "What about the Demon Palace in the Apocalypse Mountain?"
Lei Jiuyun said: "That's no, after all, building a demon palace is not an easy task. Besides, it was the original demon palace of the demon race. ”
Nie Xian nodded, and now he finally understood the importance of Apocalypse Mountain to the Demon Clan. The people of the demon clan built the Demon Palace under the mountain in Apocalypse Mountain, and under the Apocalypse Mountain, there must be some great secret in this place, otherwise there is no need for the demon clan to spend so much manpower and material resources on this side of Apocalypse Mountain.
"What we're going to now is Jing Yitang's most secret base underground. ”
Lei Jiuyun said as he walked: "The Great Demon Master of Jing Yitang, in fact, most of them are outside the world, they concentrate on cultivation, and many people have forgotten their identity and origin. Even when fighting against foreign enemies, these archmages may not be able to make a move. But there are some great magicians who shoulder heavy responsibilities, and these great magicians, without exception, are all surnamed Lei. ”
"Their mission is to guard the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Tomb, opening and closing the passages. The reason why you chose the Great Demon Master instead of the Demon Clan to become a powerful master, do you know why?"
Nie Xian replied, "Because the Great Demon Master is not good at fighting, the power of the corpse demon may not be attractive to them. It is different for cultivators, who covet the power of corpse demons, and if they let cultivators act as guards, the most likely thing that will happen is to guard and steal. Archmages are good at runes, but not combat, and they can control rune circles, opening and closing passages. But once they get in on their own, the corpse demons can easily kill them. ”
Lei Jiuyun snorted: "That's right, you are all right." However, these old guys are not very easy to talk to, and they have lived underground for a long time, so their temperament has become more and more withdrawn. The reason why I know them is because every once in a while, the four elders take turns to enter the passage to inspect and see if there is anything wrong. When the other three Great Elders came down, they were eager to turn around and leave. And every time I came down, I would bring some things to the old guys to relieve their boredom, such as books, chess, or wine. ”
Nie Xianxin said that this is the difference between women and men, women's hearts are always more delicate.
As he was talking, Lei Jiuyun pointed to the front: "That's the entrance, don't talk much after you enter, just follow me." If they ask, I will say that you are my attendant. By the way, do you have any alcohol with you?"
Nie Xian nodded: "Bring it." ”
Lei Jiuyun snorted: "Remember, don't talk nonsense." ”
In front of it was an ordinary iron door, which looked very old and old, and it was all gray-brown rust. Nie Xian felt it, and there was no rune power on the door. Lei Jiuyun just pushed open the door and walked in, so Nie Xian was very surprised, why was there no prohibition on this door in such a secret place.
Since Lei Jiuyun didn't let him talk more, Nie Xian simply followed behind Lei Jiuyun. After entering the door, Nie Xian found that there was a room inside, which was not very large, the furnishings were extremely simple, and it was obvious that no one had cleaned it up for a long time, and there was a musty smell in the room. An old man wrapped in a quilt sat on a chair, hunched over in front of an oil lamp, reading a book, the pages of which were about to be turned over.
The old man said to himself while reading the book: "Don't worry, don't worry, you can bear with it, and the two of you will be able to meet in three pages." Oh no, in two pages and nine lines, the two of you will be able to meet. Xiaoxin, you have to be careful, Ming'er is going to give you a slap when she sees you, but you can't dodge, if you dodge, she will be more willing to pay attention to you. ”
Chen Xi frowned slightly, and said in his heart that this old man was muttering something to himself.
Lei Jiuyun heard the old man's self-talk, and his face was a little guilty: "Uncle, I'm here." ”
The old man was as thin as a bamboo pole, and there was almost no flesh on his face, and there were bones under the skin, so his cheekbones were particularly high, and his eye sockets were particularly prominent, and in the deep eye sockets, the eyes were already cloudy.
Hearing the voice, the old man raised his head and glanced at it, then stood up suddenly, rushed to Lei Jiuyun like crazy, grabbed Lei Jiuyun's shoulders with both hands and said, "Why did you come!
Seeing that he was so anxious, Nie Xianxin said Could it be the secret of cultivation?
Lei Jiuyun shook his head apologetically: "No, this time something came down suddenly, so I didn't prepare"
The old man stiffened for a moment, and then suddenly cried: "I've been waiting for seventy-two years, and I haven't waited for the next volume, in the end, Ming'er and Xiaoxin are together, I can't see the ending of this novel, I can't die!"
