Chapter 21: The Secret of the Sky (3)
c)
The night was filled with the sins of darkness, and a curtain of white fog shrouded silently, as if to expel the light that precedes the dawn from the sky, and the desolate fields sank into a gully like a glacial lake, coldly covered with layers of white frost, and the stiff earth floated up the vast night sky, freezing the sparkle of the stars, and hazy the brightness of the moonlight, obscuring the splendor of the Milky Way, and smearing a faint layer of sorrow on the bleak world.
The lonely soul of the dark lord Lu Zhuxuan crawled out of the tomb, wrapped around the white fog curtain and dyed it black, he looked up at the night sky that solidified into pitch black, and his eyes began to shake the same color as the sky, the night gave him these eyes that were darker than the night, just to prove that there was not much light left in his inner world, he put the transparent soul close to the ground, and heard the sound of struggle and crying from the depths of the earth. The howl, which was the cry for help from the unjustly dead soul who could not stand the loneliness in his heart and the coldness of the night, stretched his nose into the depths of the night, and smelled the smell of the night, which was a slimy, Sticky with the smell of blood, I don't know how many innocent lives have lost themselves in this smell and can't find a place for their souls, the tip of his tongue curls, touching the breath of the night, inspiring the power of darkness to satisfy his desire that can never be satisfied, he stretches out his hand bones to grasp the shadow of darkness, he can't reach it at all due to the lack of physical support, but he is not discouraged, he waits for the darkness to erode another sky before holding it firmly into his palm.
At this time, the ghost of the Inhuman Celestial Rain also slipped out, and his tomb was very close to the tomb of the Dark Lord, because the night was afraid of their loneliness, so he forgave their sins and let them rely on them forever.
As soon as the Inhuman came out, he knelt at the feet of the Dark Lord and said loyally: "Don't worry, King, although our flesh has rotted, our souls have not been dispelled, and we still have a chance to make a comeback. ”
"Well, I know that I am fully prepared to subvert the Kingdom of Light and to realize my determination for revenge, and I want to let them know that the Kingdom of Darkness is not destroyed, and that we still have the strength to fight them in the final battle. The Lord of Darkness said confidently as he looked at the darkening night sky.
"Great King, we have a king like you in the dark country, that is our blessing, you have put too much effort into making the dark country strong. The alien fiddled with his fingers and said complimentally, "The country of light seems to be a country and a country of peace on the surface, but in fact it is full of contradictions, as long as we seize the opportunity, the revival of the country of darkness is just around the corner." ”
The Lord of Darkness nodded, helped him up, and said, "Brother Rain, this is also what I expected, but at this time, I still don't know anything about what is happening in the outside world, so I can only send my cronies to inquire. ”
"Don't bother, King, just wake up the ghosts that are sleeping, and we will know the outside world inside out. The Dark Lord pondered for a moment, then left the earth and flew towards the sky, drawing his transparent wand and sending a pitch-black lightning bolt into the dead earth, and suddenly the sleeping ghost rushed out of the ground like a awakened wild dog and wandered beside the Dark King.
He slowly put away his transparent wand and said in a commanding tone, "You cowards, tell me what the hell is going on outside?"
A ghost floated over and said obediently: "Great King, Dugu Arrow is on his way to the Kingdom of Light at this time, and he wants to return the crystal ball to the King of Light." ”
Then, another ghost floated over, he shook his fluttering body, and said leisurely: "King, Jingliana is still imprisoned by the King of Light, and the King of Light will not let her go easily without getting the crystal ball." ”
The last ghost rushed over singing a sad elegy, and all the ghosts dodged backwards when they heard the piercing sound, and he said slowly: "Great King, the Lord of Light is quelling the rebellion in the country at this time, and there is a barbaric minister who wants to seize the kingdom of the King of Light. ”
The Lord of Darkness listened to their statements one by one and nodded in satisfaction, especially the statement of the last ghost, which made him concentrate to the extreme, and a splash began to appear on his face that no one could guess. He sent the sleepy ghosts back to sleep, only to see them burrow into the depths of the earth like wild horses.
At this time, only the dark king Lu Zhuxuan was left alone in the desolate field, he raised his head to look at the sky ruled by darkness, and couldn't help but taste a sense of relief in his heart, he looked at the earth again, and his black shadow was reflected on the ground, the shadow and the shadow of the night merged together, getting heavier and heavier, at this time, his eyes floated into a pitch-black lightning, the lightning knocked through the locked thoughts, and brought him back to the memory of returning to the magic mountain after taking the crystal ball from Dugu Jian's home.
The blood-red dawn reflected the ice-blue sky, flowing with a rich flavor like pure cream, as if there were countless red rose petals scattered in the air and emitting bursts of fragrance, but in the other world behind the bright world, where the sun could never shine, there was still a dark sky, where everything was covered with a layer of pitch black, along with those lonely eyes. When the King of Darkness, Lu Zhuxuan, brought the snatched crystal ball back to the Magic Mountain, he planned to spend all his future energy on studying this crystal ball, he took the crystal ball to a dungeon he had carefully built, put it on a snow-white high pillar, and he sat aside and patiently observed its movements, the white light emitted by this crystal ball was like the brightest star in the Milky Way at night, and the snow-white light reflected the black dungeon as if it suddenly ushered in daylight.
He sat there all day like a puppet with a string and was silent as time passed, his eyes like extinguished bonfires, flashing with phosphorescence like ghost fires, but his sincerity did not touch the heart of the crystal ball, and he still did not know what secrets were hidden in the crystal ball. Unable to bear the results that did not improve, the Dark Lord's desire to win fell from the peak to the trough, and he summoned the Inhuman Tiansiyu to the dungeon and asked him about the secrets in the crystal ball that no one had ever heard of.
The Lord of Darkness looked at the figure of the Inhuman getting closer and closer, and said to him wistfully: "Brother Yu, I have been watching this crystal ball for a hundred days, why hasn't it changed at all?"
The stranger shook his three glowing green eyes, and said calmly: "King, you are in a hurry, as long as you wait quietly, the secret of the crystal ball will naturally be revealed." ”
The Lord of Darkness stood up from his gilded throne and said bitterly, "Then when should I wait, the Dark Nation's hegemony is still waiting for me to open up?"
"My lord, I promise you, as long as you wait patiently for one hundred and twenty days, the secret of the crystal ball will naturally be solved, and then you can use it to rule the dark world, and the light of the country of light will cease to exist forever. ”
The Lord of Darkness held the crystal ball on the high pillar in the palm of his hand, like holding a dream that had been silent for a thousand years, and he looked at it quietly, his eyes reflecting a snow-white world. In the following days, the Lord of Darkness could only wait for this lonely dungeon, this lonely crystal ball, and had countless lonely dreams.
One hundred and two days later, the fog in the dark lord's heart had not lifted, and he leaned against the gilded throne like a rotting sleeping corpse.
One hundred and eight days, there was a tremor in his heart, and a light of hope began to appear in his eyes.
One hundred and sixteen days, his eyes surged with silver starlight, and the dense fog that had solidified in his heart was slowly dissipating.
One hundred and eighteen days, his heart seemed to jump out of his chest, and he felt a caterpillar crawling in his palm.
For one hundred and nineteen days, he could no longer sit still, walking back and forth in the dungeon, squeaking the floor, and a large bead of sweat oozed from his palms.
One hundred and twenty days, he finally waited for this moment that he could never forget for the rest of his life, he took the crystal ball off the high pillar, held it tightly in the palm of his hand, his eyes were snow-white by the white light emitted by the crystal ball, like a snow-lotus blooming on the plateau, his heart no longer exists to make the world full of fraternity conscience, all that remains is the rotten thoughts occupied by desire, he has this crystal ball not to let people get eternal happiness, but to let the dark power devour people's pure hearts.
He has been waiting for this moment, maybe since he came to this strange world, he knew that he should wait for an unbreakable secret, he is a child of the night, only the power of the night can save him, he looked at this crystal clear, huge crystal ball, hoping that it can make the same ruthless changes as the night, but he didn't wait for anything after all, the crystal ball still exudes the same snow-white light as before.
He already vaguely felt that he was deceived by the secret of the crystal ball, so he put the crystal ball back on the original high pillar, viciously pulled out the magic wand that was as black as the night, and sent out a pitch-black lightning bolt towards the crystal ball, at this time, the surface of the crystal ball was gradually dyed with a layer of light black, as the energy of the lightning increased again and again, the light black turned black, however, the dark lord still refused to give up, he saw layer after layer of darker and heavier black climbed up the crystal ball, and finally the layer of snow-white light of the crystal ball disappeared completely, and instead of it was pitch black that was darker than the night, suddenlyThe edge of the sky rushed into a solemn pitch black, and the heavy twilight was about to devour the beautiful blood-red of the sky.
The night shattered into countless tiny pieces and floated outside the sky, and the earthy yellow dust rushed over like a fly, carrying the fragments of the night into his pocket. The Lord of Darkness, Lu Zhuxuan, was still immersed in the boundless black abyss of dreams at this time, his heart seemed to be piled up with pieces of that size, so that he couldn't breathe, his eyes sank into the vastness of the night, and the glittering points of light moved in front of his eyes, like sparks splashed up by the iron rings that collided with the wall. A heavy splinter slammed down on top of his head, waking him up from his dazed dreams and returning to the desolate wilderness where his body had once been buried.
