Chapter 251: Awaken, Earth Ancestral Witch!
Nuwa Niangniang has been watching here?
Li Ping'an's heart is a lot more stable.
He took the initiative to talk to Xuan Ming about the matter of Hou Tu entering the demon, and Xuan Ming seemed to be dead to the Western Sect at the moment, knowing everything and saying everything, and fearing that Li Ping'an would not save Hou Tu, and also ordered the Wu clan to gather here, and the ten Wu people all went underground to avoid possible troubles in the future.
After a brief chat, Li Ping'an had some eyebrows.
Indeed, as Yuding Zhenren said, entering the demon after the earth is similar to the qi refiner being contaminated with demonic energy.
Although this comparison is a bit inappropriate, the situation in Houtu is similar to that of Bu Linhai, a disciple of Guanhaimen who was infected by the Bull Demon Demon Qi.
It's just that Houtu's strength is too strong, and her strength after entering the demon is stronger than before, and it is really a big project to help Houtu clear the demonic qi.
"After the earth fell into the devil, it was about 20,000 years ago, and for the next 20,000 years, I was like in a dream, I didn't know where the road ahead was every day, and the guilt of the Wu clan was caused by me, why did she bear it."
Xuan Ming's eyes were a little blurred, her voice became hoarse, and her innate Dao body was wrapped in emotions such as helplessness, sadness, and depression.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, can you help our Wu Clan?"
Li Ping'an's eyes were clear and sincere, and he said: "I am here to help the Wu Clan, and then get a help from the Wu Clan." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty......"
Looking at the Wu clan masters from afar and closely, they were also relieved when they heard the words.
Li Ping'an said again: "But before that, I would like to ask the Xuanming Witch Ancestor to tell me how the Western Sect and the Wu Clan intersect, and to what extent. ”
Xuanming Ancestor Wu sighed: "The Western Sect has always wanted the Wu Clan to serve them, and we can't leave Beiju Luzhou, and we are also limited by them. ”
"Oh?" Li Ping'an made a gesture of please, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Xuan Ming Ancestor Wu asked rhetorically: "Isn't the Heavenly Emperor and the Western Sect dealing with each other?" ”
"It's not that I can't deal with it," Li Ping'an smiled casually, "The Western Sect has a grudge against me, I'm a small-minded person, and I can't tolerate this kind of enemy, unless they have the ability to replace me, the emperor, otherwise I will fight them to the end." ”
"It's a long story."
Xuanming Ancestor Witch Dao:
"After the defeat of Chiyou, our Wu clan and the hundred tribes were defeated, and fled all the way from Xizhou to the north, and finally we and a group of hundreds of tribes fled into the miasma of Beiju Luzhou.
"Later, we heard that the two leaders of the Western Sect came forward to make peace, and asked the Hundred Tribes and the Terrans to stop their troops, and our Wu Clan and the Hundred Tribes who fled into this place together made an appointment to return to the land of Xizhou together.
"Just on the sea between Xizhou and Beizhou, several disciples of the Western Sect stopped in front.
"The second disciple of the Great Sect Master of the Western Sect appeared, calling himself Venerable Doom, showing his great mana, and asking us to make an oath of allegiance to the Western Sect, and all the masters should swallow the Soul Locking Pill they refined.
"My Wu clan is not convinced, but I am unable to fight with the Western Sect again, even if I win these disciples, there are two Western Sect masters behind them, and the sect leaders are all strong people who have penetrated Da Luo, entered the ultimate realm, and are only one or half a step away from sanctification, and our Wu clan can only retreat again.
"The world is so big, only Beizhou can accommodate us."
Li Ping'an asked: "Didn't you think about going to the small world outside the world at that time?" ”
"I didn't know at the time that there were also places with all the five elements in the outer world, and in my impression, it was just a narrow world made up of fragments of heaven and earth."
Xuanming Ancestor Witch sighed blankly with his eyes:
"What's more, the roots of our Wu clan are in this heaven and earth, and we have always wanted to prosper again, rise strong again, and then fight to Xizhou and regain our footing.
"Houtu actually went to the outside world to walk, and when he came back, he wanted to take us away...... It's me who is too stubborn. ”
Li Dazhi pretended to be 'Mo Wendi' and said: "This step by step, I really don't know how Houtu can endure it." ”
"She is gentle and gentle, she was bullied by me in her early years, and she doesn't like to say anything."
Xuanming Ancestor Wu smiled bitterly:
"Now, if I can exchange my life for her safety, I am willing.
"Later, in order to let the Wu clan reproduce in Beizhou safely, Houtu used his own great mana to mobilize the Great Dao of Earth and restore a large area of Beizhou to life.
"The land of Beizhou is polluted by miasma, there is no way to cultivate, more and more witches need more and more rations, and a large number of witches do not have the ability to hunt, so Houtu can only continue to expand the land of the Wu clan, gradually, the land of the Wu clan has become ten, and Houtu suddenly let out a sad cry one day...... She cried out in pain, but I couldn't help her, so I could only watch her fall into the devil's path......
"After entering the demon, Houtu seems to have lost herself, but her avenue is still running, sheltering the entire Wu tribe, she maintains the fertility of the ten witch lands, and here also grows giant trees, which can not only keep out the miasma, but also produce food continuously.
"We've worked hard for 10,000 years, but we can't get the soil back to normal, I can feel it...... I can feel it...... Her primordial spirit sank into an endless abyss......
"I went to ask for the Western Sect, but the conditions offered by the Western Sect were to let my entire Wu clan be used by them, I already knew that the Western Sect intended to plan the heavens and the earth, control all spirits, and raise a large number of fierce demons, so I couldn't agree, since then, the Western Sect has come to the land of my Wu clan every thousand years, and they are tempted by the twelve-grade golden lotus that can purify the demonic energy.
"Alas...... Today, I can't hold on, and if the Emperor of Heaven comes later, I should have answered them.
"It's a big deal, I just gave up this life to teach the West."
Li Ping'an sighed lightly.
Li Dazhi asked: "It's all come to this point, and you don't want to go to the Virgin for help?" ”
"Our Lady is the Holy Mother of the Terrans, and the matter of Chiyou makes my Wu Clan and the Terran Race mortal enemies."
Xuan Ming Ancestor Wu frowned and said:
"If the human race doesn't hunt down and kill my Wu clan, my Wu clan will be able to survive if they go overseas to find an immortal island."
Li Dazhi asked, "Did the Terrans hunt down the Wu Clan after the Great War?" ”
Guang Chengzi said: "The Human Emperor did not give an order, but many Qi Refiners in Dongzhou have come to Beizhou to hunt witches together, if there is no such miasma protection, the Wu Clan may have already been wiped out by the Human Race Qi Refiners." ”
Xuanming Ancestor Wu said in a low voice: "All the fault lies with me, please ask the Emperor of Heaven to help save the Houtu, I am willing to kill myself in front of Xuanyuan Palace." ”
"Killing yourself won't solve anything."
Li Ping'an got up and said:
"The Terrans are now also facing a new dilemma, if the Witch Ancestor is interested, he will go to the tomb of the Terran martyrs to apologize, and then think about how to help the Terrans, which can be regarded as atonement.
"Please send a few great witches or witch sacrifices to take me underground."
Xuanming Ancestor Wu said: "I will personally take you ......"
"No," Li Ping'an arched his hand and said, "Wu Zu should rest here, all senior uncles, Xinghe Xinghan, you all come down, listen to the bamboo boat, don't disturb Uncle Turtle Spirit." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a Dao figure flew down in the sky, and only the wind and bamboo were left on the cloud boat, guarding the sleeping Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
At that moment, everyone stayed beside Xuanming Ancestral Witch, and Qingsu followed Li Ping'an with the Holy Mother Sword in his hand.
Li Dazhi originally wanted to go down to see the excitement, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered something, and put his hands in his sleeves with a smile.
Xuanming Ancestor didn't say anything, and sat back in his seat quietly, his eyes continuing to lose focus.
Taiyi Zhenren: "I'll go and make some arrangements nearby, so that those demons don't come back and make trouble." ”
"Together," Huang Long volunteered.
"Don't! Don't! ”
Taiyi Zhenren glared at Huang Long:
"Senior Brother Huanglong, what are you going to do? Ten out of ten are found and trapped by the enemy? Brother Yuding help me! ”
Huang Long's old face was full of stupidity.
Yuding Zhenren showed a gentle smile: "I can't say that, Senior Brother Huanglong is just missing a little luck." ”
"The poor road has changed its fortune," Huanglong Zhenren muttered, his face full of depression.
……
This time he entered the underground 'lair' of Wudi openly, and Li Ping'an felt even more profound.
Everywhere it was dark, with only a few glowing treasures providing a faint light source.
Qing Su also followed by his side, looking around vigilantly, two old witches known as the 'Great Witch Sacrifice' leading the way, and two burly Great Witches guarding him.
Many thin sorcerer children played from the intersection of those cave entrances, and they had few clothes on them, and when they saw the immortals in long robes and long skirts, their eyes were full of curiosity.
A young man who was less than five feet tall asked, "Great Witch! Don't have dinner today? ”
"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat!"
The Great Witch hummed and scolded:
"There's something going on here, I'll start cooking and delivering food later, let's all go back, don't bump into the distinguished guests."
Li Ping'an shook his head with a smile.
Qing Susu flipped his hand and took out a ring-shaped storage magic weapon, and several ice blue fairy lights flew out of it, releasing ...... More than a dozen spirit beast ingredients that were frozen, hair-removed, and eviscerated.
These are the ingredients she collected when she went out, and now she is not stingy.
They walked all the way, and Qingsu scattered food all the way, and when they arrived at the underground hall, the last bag of candied fruit in Qingsu's hand was gone.
"I forgot to save some for the way back."
Qingsu pursed his lips and said.
Li Ping'an smiled and said nothing, focusing on the cage that the immortal consciousness had captured before.
Sure enough, that is where the Houtu itself is.
The reason why it is said that this is a cage is because the formation ban in this place is very complicated, and most of the formations are inward, which can be seen at a glance to prevent the spirit inside from escaping.
When they followed a winding path into the forbidden places, they found that it was an octagonal altar made of stone.
There is a black pool in the middle of the altar, and I don't know what the water is, and I can faintly see a woman dressed in white lying quietly in it.
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor," the Great Witch Priest said in a deep voice, "Hou Tuzu is in the pool." ”
"Thank you," Li Ping'an said, "Can I sense the situation of the Houtu Witch Ancestor here?" ”
"Of course," the Great Witch Priest reminded, "you are the Emperor of Heaven, and you are not afraid of those demonic qi, but ...... You'd better be careful. ”
Li Ping'an nodded with a smile, closed his eyes and concentrated, and a golden ball slowly appeared behind him, and the ball emitted wisps of heavenly aura, completely enveloping him and Qingsu.
It was just a simple use of the power of the Heavenly Dao in his body.
Then, Li Ping'an raised his legs and sat cross-legged in the air, the hem of his robe fluttered slightly, and wisps of immortal consciousness wrapped the power of the Heavenly Dao and immersed themselves in the pool water.
The masters above also locked the immortal consciousness on him, as long as there is anything abnormal, Guangchengzi and other immortals will directly move here.
Li Ping'an quickly opened his eyes and frowned thoughtfully.
Qing Su tilted his head slightly, and suddenly said, "Apprentice...... Your Majesty, I seem to be able to hear something. ”
She pressed her right hand on Li Ping'an's shoulder, and Li Ping'an heard the murmur.
"I'm so tired...... Let's get some sleep...... Just ...... for a moment."
The long sword in Qingsu's hand trembled slightly, and Li Ping'an and Qingsu entered a gloomy world simultaneously.
As far as the two of them could see, there was almost still black water on the ground, and there were no stars in the inky sky, only a little candle flame in front of them, and there seemed to be a lying figure in the candle flame.
Li Ping'an sighed in his heart.
He really guessed correctly, the Virgin Mother would never see Houtu so miserable and not save it.
'Master, let's go over.' ’
Qingsu bowed slightly and followed Li Ping'an's side.
Countless pitch-black arms poked out of the underground black water, inky raindrops fell in the sky, and the pair of masters and apprentices were wrapped around two layers of immortal yun, all the way forward, like two torches walking together from the darkness, illuminating the round place of this place.
When they arrived at the place where the candle flame was, Li Ping'an squatted down and looked at the beautiful woman curled up in the candle flame.
That's Houtu.
'Hou Tu Niang? ’
'Fellow Daoist? ’
'Houtu Witch Ancestor? ’
Li Ping'an called a few times, but the candle flame did not react.
Qingsu suddenly said, "The children are hungry. ’
'Huh? ’
The candle flame flickered slightly, a shallow ripple swayed, the candle flame suddenly expanded, magnified, and a light white lotus flower appeared in it, and then the lotus petals slowly bloomed, revealing the lotus platform inside, and the woman lying quietly.
The woman opened a pair of hazy sleepy eyes, her eyes shining with colorful light, and with tiredness that could not be dissolved.
She sat up with her body propped up, took a light breath, and skillfully sealed her hands, as if to mobilize the rules of the earth, but she was halfway done, and black chains appeared around her.
'What's wrong with me......
'My body is trapped outside......
'I seem to have been asleep for a long time, how are the people......
'Houtu Daoyou. ’
Li Ping'an's voice came, using all the gentleness he could control and that had accumulated so far in this life.
The woman turned around and saw the man and woman wrapped in two layers of immortal clouds.
Houtu's colorful eyes were a little puzzled.
Li Ping'an arched his hand and said: "Li Ping'an, a son of the human race, came to help Daoyou get out of danger, and Daoyou fell into the devil 20,000 years ago...... The Wu clan is fine, but now they are being coerced by the Western Sect, and the Human Emperor has agreed, so I can help the Wu Ancestor. ”
Houtu was stunned for a moment, looked down at her palm, and wisps of black gas appeared on the edge of her palm.
She said, "Did I sleep before?" ”
"It should be," Li Ping'an said, "Daoist, we'll talk about this later, can you regain control of the Dao body?" If you could, it would be much easier. ”
"It should be possible...... Have the Terrans forgiven us? ”
Hou Tu seemed a little urgent, and asked softly:
"It was our fault back then, if the human race has any conditions, Xuan Ming and I can agree, and the land of Beizhou is indeed unable to reproduce."
Qing Su pointed at Li Ping'an: "He is the Emperor of Heaven, and he will have the final say in the future." ”
"Master, I haven't officially ascended the throne yet," Li Ping'an said busily, "Don't worry, Daoist friends, the Emperor of the People has already been here before, and now that the Empress of the Divine Appearance and the Ancestor Cangjie are on it, you should be able to sense their Dao Yun." ”
"There are many more people......
Houtu sighed lightly:
"The rations are going to be out again, and I have to reclaim some more places."
"Fellow Daoist!"
Li Ping'an snorted softly, and a wisp of heavenly power turned into golden lightning and hit Houtu's forehead, Houtu's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little brighter.
"I'm sorry," Houtu raised his hand and pushed his forehead, "I do have some problems with my state. ”
Li Ping'an frowned and said, "Daoist friends don't have to think about anything now, just meditate here...... Try to recall the good memories of ancient times, and when I call out to Taoist friends, Taoist friends will try their best to get out of this place. ”
Houtu bowed his head slightly, with a little uneasiness in his eyes: "Thank you Daoyou." ”
Qing Su said: "My Yuan Shen stays here, I have an innocent Dao heart, the demonic qi can't help me, the sword of the Holy Mother can suppress the demonic qi here." ”
"Then it's better to leave the sword behind."
Li Ping'an grabbed Qingsu's arm with his backhand, bowed slightly to Houtu, and retreated straight.
He and Qingsu opened their eyes at the same time, and there was still the octagonal altar and the pool of black water in front of him.
Li Ping'an said with a straight face: "Master, don't take risks easily. ”
"Okay," Qing Su threw the sheathed sword in his hand towards the black pool, and the sword levitated on its own, blooming with blue and blue light.
Li Ping'an looked at the altar, and the steps to clear the demonic qi had taken shape in his heart.
This matter should not be delayed, and we should do it ourselves today!
Meanwhile;
In the poisonous miasma forest on the periphery of the witch land, a jade cicada quietly landed on the branch of the tree, staring carefully at the location of the witch land, and several strong Taoist rhymes were reflected in his eyes.
Today's second update is available! Tonight!
