Chapter 57: The Divine Descent
I was amazed to look at the ancient beast called Jairus, which swayed its huge dragon head from time to time, and its beard trembled along with it. Its fiery eyes seemed to have lost the murderous aura they had just had, and they only glared at me majestically, as if to signal me to use the Rejuvenation Grass to heal my wounds. But why did it suddenly want to save me?
I hesitated for a moment, but I picked up the Resurrection Grass in front of me, and looked up at Jairus again, it still had no anger. So, I took off one of the leaves of the Soul Restoration Grass and put it directly in my mouth.
Immediately, I took off another leaf and prepared to hand it to Ruyuan behind me.
I didn't know that I suddenly roared angrily, I only felt that my palm was for a while, and then I looked, where was there any trace of fairy grass in my hand!
"Hmph, how can I save the life of the nine-tailed demon fox!"
There was a lot of anger in Jair's eyes, and after the words were finished, it still hissed and roared, as if to warn Ruyuan, if she dared to act rashly, it would immediately take her life.
"It's so stingy......" Ruyuan muttered in a low voice, but in exchange for another roar in her eyes.
Because of fear, Ruyuan had to shut up.
"Why save me?"
After taking the Rejuvenation Spiritual Grass, the surging spiritual power in the body immediately smoothed a lot, and the pain in the heart just now also disappeared.
I stood up, deliberately protecting Ruyuan behind me, lest I lose control of my anger for a moment and attack again.
"I will not harm the descendants of the gods. ”
"Descendant of the gods?" was confirmed again, and I was even more surprised.
"You have the divine sword to protect each other, and you also have the blood of the gods, and the spiritual power reveals the power of the gods, if you are not a descendant of the gods, why not?"
I pondered the words of Jairus, but more questions arose.
It is true that I have the sword of Cangrong, but if I say that I have the blood of the gods, it may also be because I have the blood of Aoki Taku, the daughter of the gods, in my body, which is reasonable. However, how can I have the power of the gods in my spiritual power? Could it be that Jairus is wrong? But it is an ancient divine beast, how can I be wrong?
"My lord Shennong's clan has set up a seal, since the death of the goddess of Wushan, there is no blood of gods between heaven and earth, what is the origin?"
It is said that a thousand years ago, a god and a mortal gave birth to a daughter, and she must be regarded as a descendant of the gods, right? ”
I explained.
"A thousand years ago, there was indeed a woman who came here, claiming to be the daughter of the gods, that is, Er Er, who went to the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain, could it be that she still did not give up?"
Sure enough, it had already mistaken me for Takumi Aoki. But I still don't understand, except that I look like Aoki Taku, what is the matter with that unwarranted divine power?
"It's not. It's just that I may have the blood of the Daughter of the Heavenly God in my veins. ”
Jairus listened and muttered for a moment, and those fiery eyes moved away from me slightly. But immediately, it turned its attention to me again, and this time, it had a lot of anger in its eyes.
"You actually killed the gods privately!
There was a roar in his eyes, and the thick claws rose and fell angrily on the ground, and the ground trembled with it.
"Hmph!" I sneered, "What ability can I have to kill the gods? This blood was given to me by a god, but this god had already abandoned his divine status and defected to the Demon Realm. And the descendant of the Celestial God you are talking about is in the Demon Domain at the moment!"
Hearing the word Demon Domain, Jairus seemed to calm down a little.
"The 'Demon Domain' in your mouth, but the domain opened up by Chiyou, the son of my lord Shennong?"
"Yes, it's the purgatory, the place full of carnage and blood. ”
"I still remember that in the past, there were Lieshan tribes who respected my lord Shennong, and my lord granted me techniques such as cultivation, herb medicine, and soil settlement to help the Lieshan tribe multiply. Later, the Yellow Emperor, the leader of mankind, frequently provoked wars with the Lieshan clan, and my lord was furious. The human god Nuwa pleaded many times to ensure the reproduction of mankind, and our lord was merciful, so after the battle of Hanquan no Ye, he led the people of the Lieshan tribe to retreat westward. The son of my lord Shennong, Chi is especially believed in the Jiuli tribe, because he did not accept the violent and belligerent of the Yellow Emperor, he raised the axe of Pangu to open the sky, and led the Jiuli tribe and the Yellow Emperor to fight in the decisive battle. The Yellow Emperor got the help of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, carried the divine sword Kunwu, and ordered Yinglong to fight, and Chiyou was defeated, and opened up a new domain to build a demon domain with the power of the Pangu axe.
"The past, as it was yesterday. Isn't a thousand years going overnight...... I have been guarding here for nearly 3,000 years, but I don't know that the world has changed to this point......"
Jairus seemed to be immersed in distant memories, and for a moment, I felt that in addition to murderous and violent, it had experienced too many vicissitudes.
The gods live for a long time, but they can only let the time pass and see the vicissitudes of the world. It is said that the gods of heaven dominate the Three Realms, but why are they not dominated by time? For thousands of years, as far as the gods are concerned, it is just a snap of their fingers, and they suddenly feel that those ancient gods have disappeared, perhaps because they have seen enough of this gratuitous flow of time, but what can they really change? Like Jianwei, he has been sealed in this stone tablet for thousands of years, just for protection, only for a promise to his master, and who decided its fate, and who imposed such an attachment on him? The ancient beasts are inevitably sad about this ruthless time and lost in their long memories.
"If you have the blood of God, you will bear the mission of God. If I look closely, my body is unusual, not a god, not a demon, not a demon, not a human, not a beast, but it has divine power, demonic energy, demon spirit, human form, and beast body, and there must be countless reasons for it. ”
I didn't understand it, but I was shocked. What do you mean by that? This is the first time I've heard such an explanation. Am I not a demon? Even if what Cang Li said was true, I am not a demon, but how could I have anything to do with gods, demons, humans and beasts? I wanted to ask, but I found that I couldn't ask, in the face of such a powerful ancient beast, how should I communicate with it?
Just as he was hesitating, Jairus continued, "Why did you trespass here?"
That's when I returned my mind to the purpose of my trip. Seeing that Jairus had no intention of attacking, I put away the sword of Cangrong, and then turned my head to look at Ruyuan's injury. Then he replied:
"We are here to ask the patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to repair the relics of the goddess you mentioned. ”
"Just a demon fox, how can you repair such a divine object?" a trace of anger erupted in Jair's eyes. At this moment, I seemed to have roughly guessed what sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan here.
"To tell you the truth, the previous appearance of this fragment was not a jasper hairpin, but a jade ruyi. Therefore, the nine-tailed fox clan must have re-carved the jasper hairpin. If you can change the shape of the jasper hairpin, you may be able to repair the fragment. ”
"Hmph! The nine-tailed demon fox has angered the goddess in all its ways, and I have been so merciful that I only sealed it here, but I don't want them to dare to destroy the relics of the goddess without authorization, it is really unforgivable!"
Jair's anger rose sharply, and he roared loudly, as if he was about to explode in an instant.
"Hmph, you monster, how did we Nine-Tailed Fox Clan offend you!"
Ruyuan leaned out from behind me, staring at Jairus, and I don't know where I got the courage to say to Jair.
Jairus didn't seem to have the heavy killing aura just now, and just roared angrily at Ruyuan's unreasonableness. My hanging heart finally fell. It seems that Jairus really doesn't want to do anything to us anymore.
Ruyuan saw that his eyes were angry and did not move, but he came to his senses and continued:
"Our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has always respected your so-called goddess relics as holy relics, and now we have to find a way to repair them, why is it called 'destroying the relics without authorization'?"
"Shut up! If it weren't for the fact that the princess of the demon world had befriended the goddess, she would have taken all the lives of the nine-tailed demon fox clan!"
Jair's words immediately surprised me again. If I heard correctly, Jairus did mention the "Demon Realm", then the Demon Realm recorded in the "Silk of Destiny" of the Lush Forest is real......?
"Ruyuan! enough!" I observed the subtle changes in Jianxi, and I was afraid that its murderous nature would be aroused again, then Ruyuan and I were afraid that we would really die here.
Ruyuan pouted at this time, don't turn your face.
"Dare to ask, does the demon world you mentioned really exist?"
"Of course!" said heavily, "The three worlds of gods, demons, and demons are strong, and the power of the gods is strong, and the longevity of the gods is far longer than that of demons and demons. The ancient Emperor Fu Xi was good at conquest, wanting to conquer the two worlds of demons and demons, and the two worlds of demons and demons were also fighting endlessly. In order to avoid war, the Later Demon Realm borrowed the power of ancient artifacts to hide. At that time, the power of the divine realm was overwhelming in the demon realm, and if the gods and demons fought, the demon realm would rise up to resist, and the power of the gods and demons was enough to destroy the living beings. In order to protect the newly revived human world, our lord Shennong and the human god Nuwa joined forces to set up a seal, so that the gods lost their power to reproduce, and their divine power was greatly damaged, so as to balance the disparity in the strength of gods and demons, and also avoid the devastating war between gods and demons. Since then, my lord Shennong, Nuwa, and Fuxi have also disappeared, and the divine realm has been handed over to the current Emperor of Heaven. ”
"Seclusion...... Ancient Artifact ...... The princess of the demon realm ...... "I said silently.
"Yinluo, let's go to the patriarch quickly!" Ruyuan may not be interested in the affairs of the three worlds of gods, demons, and demons, so he urged.
I only felt that the trip to Wushan had plunged me into a new mystery, and many questions came one after another, but I didn't even have the direction to explore. As I had thought before, I became more and more desperate to get to the bottom of the truth and find out what I had to do with all this distraction. I don't care about the gods and demons, the ancient wonders, I just want to figure out how I choose the path I want to take in the future. What is the matter with my increasingly confusing mother-killing revenge and my identity that is becoming more and more confusing? Could the "Demon Realm" in Jair's mouth be the "Demon Realm" that Nalan said? If this space really exists, will the mission undertaken by the successive forest masters of the Lush Forest really come true one day? At that time, will I return to the Demon Realm with the beings in the Lush Forest?
"In that case, can you let us pass? Whether it's a jade hairpin or a jade ruyi, I just hope that the patriarch of the nine-tailed fox clan can repair it, and it should be a restoration of the relics of the goddess. ”
"I only woke up because I sensed the spiritual power of the goddess's relics, as long as you don't destroy a single plant or tree here, I won't make things difficult. ”
I just wanted to make a gesture of it, but when I looked back at Ruyuan, who was still weak and uncomfortable, I said:
"Please also give the Rejuvenation Grass another use. ”
"Hmph! I came here many years ago to steal a piece of Spirit Grass, and I don't want to pursue it, but now I dare to use the spirit of the goddess to save this demon fox!"
It seems that this Jairus has a good memory, and just now he mistakenly recognized me as Aoki Taku, but now he has made everything clear, and he even remembered the last time he came to steal the Spirit Grass.
"Forget Yinluo, if you find the patriarch, he can also heal my wounds. Ruyuan covered his chest and said angrily.
Seeing that I was arrogant, I had no intention of backing down, so I had to be silent, and I turned around with Ruyuan and continued to walk towards the depths of this mysterious forbidden area.
Behind him, the low moaning voice of the eyes was still thick and clear, and he couldn't imagine that when he came to the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain again, he would have such an encounter.
