Chapter 109: Give it a try
109
A year has passed, and a new year has begun.
On this day, Shen Di came to Yuan Xi to report on his work.
"There are fewer and fewer ghosts in the world." Shen Tu said, his hair was normal black, but his pupils turned blue, "I asked the ghosts, in the past year alone, the number of reincarnated ghosts has decreased by at least thirty percent......"
Yuan Xi buried his head in signing a document, then opened the document and began to write, "I know." ”
Shen Tu was silent, "Everything is like a river surging, irretrievable, you already know why you still refuse to announce that Your Majesty has fallen in the past year." ”
"It's better to inform the hell of the imminent collapse of the ghosts and hell as soon as possible, it's better for them to speculate now, some ghosts with hearts will shake the hearts of the people, I heard that there are many voices against you among the people......"
Yuan Xi didn't raise his head, "There's no need, those voices are not to be feared, they are just clowns jumping off the beam, over the years, as long as Your Majesty is asleep, there are always voices that want to usurp the throne." ”
Those are just a rabble for Yuan Xi, and they can't become big things, and they don't become climate.
They only dare to talk about it in private, they all know that Yuan Xi has now inherited the yin qi of Emperor Xudu, and as long as they are slightly too guarded, they can all be crushed into dust.
Shen Tu clenched his fists, but he still couldn't hold back after all, "Over the past year, this kind of voice has been heard endlessly, and the fall of His Majesty is already a fact, if it is announced, it will be better for everyone to be prepared......"
First is Ting Yan, and then Yu Lei, Shen Tu...... The strongest is always the first to perceive something, and it is also the first to fall.
Yuan Xi's pen tip paused, put down the pen with a click, and raised his head, "Your Majesty has not fallen, but has fallen into a deep sleep." ”
Shen Tu choked for a moment, and his breath hung in his throat like a mouthful of blood that he wanted to spit out, "Sleep, this word is just a euphemism...... Why do you keep deceiving yourself! ”
Since that day Tingyan was asleep, he was placed in the main hall of Xudu, Yuan Xi set up a formation, and he had to go over to strengthen it every few days, and tried in vain to wake him up with yin qi. A year has passed, Ting Yan is like a sleeping beauty, she has never woken up, and they all persuaded her not to do useless work anymore, it has been a year before and after, and Yuan Xi has never let go.
She insisted that he had simply fallen asleep.
But the gods, they all knew that this was only a precursor to the fall.
"I know what you mean, you want me to announce it, you want me to know that Ting Yan has fallen." Yuan Xi closed her eyes, working hard all year round, causing her to have a headache from time to time in recent days, "I don't believe it." ”
The two of them were deadlocked, his chest rising and falling violently, and he knew that today was going to be the end again.
"The first one is Your Majesty, my brother, my brother's strength has been mixed recently, not as ......good as before," Shen Tu said halfway through, his eyes turned red first, "I don't know who it is next, we will all die, whether you can accept it or not, we will all disappear eventually." ”
Their death, unlike the death of mortals, is completely dissipated from the world.
Yuan Xi gritted his teeth, "I know." ”
Over the past year, she has been looking for a way to save the underworld, but so far she has not found any way.
"Yu Lei's side, I will treat him," Yuan Xi calmed down, "Fortunately, he is not as sudden as Your Majesty, maybe he was injured last time when he went with you to deal with the ghosts in the world......"
Shen Tu also wanted to deceive himself like this, but he knew exactly why.
He stood up and was about to leave, but Yuan Xi suddenly said, "I've been thinking about it recently, why did I say that I was a glimmer of life for the survival of the underworld, obviously I was trying to save the underworld, but the number of ghosts in the underworld is still decreasing month by month, and the strength of you and Yu Lei has also been weakening, and the others also have the meaning of disappearing, as if my words can't play any role at all from beginning to end......"
Shen Tu turned to look at her.
It's only been a year, and Yuan Xi is already completely different from before.
At that time, she was still a little girl who didn't know anything when she first came to the underworld, and she was happy about everything, but now, it was like a quiet candle, and she had hardly said a word of superfluity in the past year and a half, except for her work.
At first, they all thought that Yuan Xi was too sad to slow down in the world, but a whole year has passed, and Shen Tu doesn't know how to persuade him, and the ghosts under his hands don't dare to mention Ting Yan, only Shen Tu They dare to say a few words.
That time Shen Di returned to the underworld to report on his work, he didn't find Yuan Xi, and unconsciously walked to the main hall of Xudu, he saw Yuan Xi sitting on the ground, holding Ting Yan's body without temperature, as if he had fallen asleep with him, and the corners of his eyes were blood and tears that had not disappeared.
He almost forgot that Yuan Xi was originally a crying person, but he had never cried in front of them, it turned out that only when facing Ting Yan would she take off her exhaustion and disguise, and become the Yuan Xi who would be confused and cry before.
More than ten months have passed since Ting Yan fell asleep, and at that time, Yuan Xi was still the same, and Shen Di didn't know how to persuade him.
He gradually understood why Ting Yan insisted on hiding the fact that he liked Yuan Xi at the beginning, and at that time, he had already guessed what Yuan Xi would do after he fell? So in the beginning, don't take that step.
Yuan Xi said, "Recently, I've been thinking that there must be something special about me being able to become the glimmer of life in Tianji's mouth, and recently I suddenly had an idea. ”
Yuan Xi paused for a moment before he said, "It stands to reason that in terms of strength, I am far inferior to you, if it weren't for Your Majesty passing on the Yin Qi to me, I would just be a powerless little ghost, the only difference between me and you is that I have a live broadcast system." ”
Shen Di was slightly stunned, he knew that Yuan Xi had a live broadcast, what does this have to do with the underworld?
"In the past, it was like an ordinary live broadcast, able to give rewards and hang links, but since Ting Yan fell asleep, it has begun to become a little different...... At the beginning, there was a feature called live replay, which could be played back to the first day of my live broadcast at the earliest. Yuan Xi continued, "I tried to click on it, and found that if I clicked on the playback, I would also fall into a brief coma, but in fact, my consciousness returned to the day of the live broadcast, and relived all the things I had experienced......" Shen Di waited for her to continue, and at this time, Yu Lei suddenly appeared in the office.
"You ......"
Shen Di looked at Yu Lei, Yu Lei was still the same as before, silver hair and silver eyes, white as moonlight, but there was an indistinct shadow in those eyes, "You already knew......"
Shen Tu wondered, "What do you know?" ”
Yuan Xi nodded and looked at Yu Lei, "Remember, that day, you all said that there were some things that I shouldn't know." But now, I want to know. ”
Yu Lei closed his eyes, and Shen Di saw that his brother's lips, who had always been inconspicuous, trembled a little, and then, he trembled and spit out a few words, "Why bother......
"What can you do after you know it......"
Yuan Xi chuckled, revealing the interface of the live broadcast system in front of two people for the first time, and under the menu below the live broadcast playback, there was a file.
-
50000101。
Under a 20230701 and other documents, the list of live broadcasts named after the time is particularly eye-catching.
It was 5,000 years ago.
Yuan Xi said, "The system wants me to know that I have to go this time." ”
"The torn pages of the book, what you kept secret...... Whether it's knowing what happened during that time, or what's going on in there, I'm going to have to go through it......"
Yuan Xi pushed the document in his hand forward and said undoubtedly, "I have already sorted out the work plan for this time, and then I will ask His Royal Highness Yu Lei to help look at it." ”
Yu Lei's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only go, "I hope you will not have complaints in the future." ”
Yuan Xi gave him a strange look, at that time, she didn't know why he said this.
*
Yuan Xi felt a wave of dizziness.
There seemed to be bursts of screams and cries for help in my ears, all kinds of sounds echoed in my ears, Yuan Xi was noisy and had a headache, this feeling was not the same as watching the live broadcast replay before, but it was like dying again......
When she opened her eyes, she found something completely different from before, the familiar live broadcast system did not appear.
Since he died, the live broadcast room system has been with him, and suddenly disappeared, Yuan Xi felt a little uncomfortable.
She woke up in a wasteland, a miserable scene on the vast land, the sky was an ominous ink, the western sky seemed to be torn open, leaking a fiery red, and a flame wrapped in meteorites fell from the big black hole, fell on the earth, and instantly swallowed the dead grass on the earth, and flames burned everywhere, some fell on people, and some of those people were burned, screaming like fire people, or rolling on the ground to extinguish the fire.
The fires fell randomly and fell on the tribal buildings, destroying the whole tribe in an instant, and people scattered and fled, some in the forest, which ignited a fire in an instant, and some fell in the lakes and oceans, burning briefly on the surface of the water and then being extinguished...... The world is like purgatory.
Yuan Xi looked over and saw many corpses lying across the ground.
Over here...... Where is it......
- 10,000 years ago, public anger touched the mountain, the pillars of heaven collapsed, the sky was torn, and the world was like purgatory......
Yuan Xi's pupils suddenly constricted, this is - ancient times.
Did she cross over?
Suddenly, a soft sigh came from his side, Yuan Xi looked towards the source of the voice, a half-human, half-snake woman looked at the people fleeing under the clouds with pity, her face was beautiful and holy, almost instantly, a title appeared in Yuan Xi's mind.
"Nu, Nuwa......"
Nuwa Niangniang was not surprised by Yuan Xi's words, her eyes had the unique gentleness and indulgence of the gods, and the divine brilliance shone on the earth, "Greed and hatred, the defects that human beings will always remove, have finally brought them a catastrophe." ”
Yuan Xi didn't want to say anything, but his body seemed to be uncontrollable and said, "But you still choose to dedicate yourself to them after all." ”
Nuwa looked over, her beautiful face with a faint smile, like a spring breeze, "This is my mission, everything has a cause and effect, the cause is me, the effect is me." ”
People were created by her, so for the sake of humanity, she still chose to dedicate herself.
Of course, Yuan Xi knew this, and these were recorded in the history books for a long time.
After the sky collapsed, she searched for the five-colored stone, refining the stone to make up for the sky, and then retreated and fell into a deep sleep.
Yuan Xi heard himself say, "I heard that between heaven and earth, in the unopened land of Hongmeng, there is a true qi left by the great god of Pangu, and the true qi has turned into a five-colored stone and lives at the end of the world. ”
"Are you looking for it?"
Nuwa said, "Yuan Xi, you are the youngest god among us. ”
Yuan Xi's heart was shocked, and when she heard Nuwa say this, she thought, it turns out that her body is also a god? It turns out that in ancient times, there was also a god, also called Yuan Xi? Was it her past life, or was it just a bump?
Puzzled, she heard herself say, "My chances haven't started yet...... The great god Fuxi is asleep, and now you will also sleep, and I am the only god left in the world......"
She could hear the reluctance and admiration in her tone.
Nuwa turned her head and looked down at her gently, "You will also have your mission, and you will take my place to protect this land, right?" ”
Yuan Xi nodded, she looked at Nuwa's beautiful face, and tears were already streaming down her face.
That was the first and last time Yuan Xi saw Nuwa.
From that day on, Nuwa searched for the five-colored stone all day long, with a sad face on her face, she found the five-colored stone, and saw the end of the old era, the beginning of the new era, the fall of the old gods, and the beginning of the new gods. From the Hongmeng Qi left by the great god of Pangu, there are two young gods, one yin and one yang.
Later, Nuwa promised a new god, and after refining the five-colored stone and successfully filling the sky, she also fell into a deep sleep.
After that calamity, the world returned to its former peace, and the last god was left in the world.
Yuan Xi spent her days searching in the wasteland, and she vaguely felt that she was looking for something.
She shuttled between the tribes, and saw the human race from birth to death, and the soul of the dead wandered in the sun like her.
On the day of Yuan Xi, he was still walking aimlessly in the wasteland.
The sun is cloudy, and the spring water reflects the pear blossoms.
Under the shade of the willows, a child dressed in black lay on the ground on all fours, and butterflies fluttered and stopped at the tip of his nose.
As if something was driving her, a voice in her ear urged her to walk.
Yuan Xi saw the purest and most innocent aura on this child at a glance. The soul of mortals always carries the defects of greed and hatred, and the breath is chaotic, but this child, without any complicated breath, is pure and good, and his body faintly exudes a divine aura.
Yuan Xi walked over, the child was only about five or six years old, his long hair was scattered on the ground at will, and there was still some baby fat on his little face, which made people want to pinch it very much.
Yuan Xi thought so, and did so.
She crouched down, her green dress scattered among the blades of grass, like a spirit in the woods. She reached out and pinched the child's face.
The child suddenly opened his eyes, and his dark pupils looked straight towards Yuan Xi with a little confusion and confusion that had been woken up.
"Who are you?" The immature child's voice was a little defensive, the child sat up, the hazy sunlight scattered, shining on the child's face, Yuan Xi saw that it was a little familiar.
There was a faint conjecture in my mind.
The child originally looked at her with vigilance, but the first time he saw it, he froze, and looked at Yuan Xi in a daze, and his eyes were straight.
At this time, she heard herself chuckle and said, "My name is Yuan Xi, what's your name?" ”
The child looked at her and blushed strangely.
"I, I don't know." He was a little cramped, and his cheeks were flushed, like a peach blossom blooming not far away.
"Don't know?" Yuan Xi smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his hair, "You are that little yin god, right?" ”
Yuan Xi knew that in this world, in addition to her god, there were two young gods, that is, when Nuwa was mending the sky, they came out of the qi of Hongmeng, and the two young gods were unstable, both of them were children's appearances, a little yang god, a little yin god, Yuan Xi had heard of it for a long time.
Sure enough, the kid nodded, "Yes." ”
Yuan Xi smiled.
From that day on, the goddess of Yuan Xi followed a small tail, and no matter where she went, the little yin god who was only five or six years old was always following her.
Many years have passed.
The divine power of the little Yin God gradually increased, and his appearance changed from five or six years old to fifteen or sixteen years old.
And on this day, Yuan Xi finally knew what his mission was.
She has seen the suffering of the world, human beings are born in the weeping, they die in the weeping of those around them, they have sins in their lives, some people do all kinds of evil, some people are very good, and after they die, they are all turned into spirits and wander in the wasteland.
Yuan Xi gradually found that his heart was full of compassion.
has seen too much suffering in the world, and her eyebrows are often sad.
The thoughts in Yuan Xi's heart are getting stronger and clearer.
Under the willow tree by the water, Yuan Xi looked at the vast wasteland, and suddenly muttered, "Why isn't there a place to take these souls?" ”
When she had the idea, something called Mission suddenly slammed into her.
The ancient gods, who appeared before mankind, all their missions were to promote the development of history, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for a certain mission. Yuan Xi will also take this road after all.
But she was born to die like any of her predecessors before, and when she had this doubt, when she said it, she knew the meaning of her god's existence.
At this time, there were no Three Realms, only a great wasteland, in which the gods lived with humans and dead souls.
Yuan Xi knew that the little yang god was already cultivating day and night, and he had the great ambition to create a god realm, but he only knew nothing about this little tail beside him.
As the little yin god's body gradually withdrew, Yuan Xi gradually saw the wind of the old man on his face.
She sat under the willow tree, her green dress blending with the color of the grass, and the little yin god crept closer, holding a handful of freshly picked wildflowers in her hand.
Colorful, he was a little apprehensive, I don't know if the goddess will like it.
The little yin god quietly approached, and finally slowly rubbed behind Yuan Xi.
"Little Yin God."
Yuan Xi suddenly made a sound, startling the sneaky little yin god, and was directly tripped by a clump of grass, snapped and fell to the ground, and Yuan Xi's pigtails that he braided for him were also a little messy.
The little yin god got up on the ground with a blushing face and sent the bouquet of flowers to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi said, "I'll give you a name." ”
