Chapter 572: Waiting for an Opportunity
Wu Xunyang, the king of Dapeng, who has always been as calm as a rock, will also have moments when he is too excited to help himself. When he heard the words "Demon Spirit Emperor", he immediately bounced up from the ground, held Xiao Tianhe's shoulders tightly with both hands, and kept asking: "Have you seen the Demon Spirit Emperor? Where did you meet you? He personally told you to come to me? What else did he say?"
There are too many questions, and Xiao Tianhe doesn't know where to start. It seems that Wu Xunyang doesn't know much about the princes, otherwise he wouldn't know the surnames of several princes. And judging from his doubts, he still thought that there was only one person in the Demon Spirit Emperor.
"Don't be anxious, seniors, and listen to me from the beginning. "Xiao Tian Dao. Since the princes did not tell him to keep it secret, it can be said that he listened to Wu Xunyang. So, Xiao Tianhe started from the first experience of breaking into the Heavenly Prison and told the situation of the mysterious room at the bottom of the prison. However, he still hid the part about the "void", after all, even he didn't know what kind of place it was.
After listening, Wu Xunyang was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed: "It turns out that the Demon Spirit Emperor is not a person...... Didn't they mention anything about me before you came?"
Seeing that Wu Xunyang asked this question again, Xiao Tianhe replied: "Although your name was not explicitly mentioned, Jiang Taigong made it very clear that I would come to the Obsidian Forest to cultivate." Later, I was worried that your predecessors would not keep me, so Taigong Li said that he only needed to report the 'Demon Spirit Emperor'. They all know about your retreat here. ”
Wu Xunyang smiled, but his smile was sad: "Of course they know, because they asked me to resign from the throne of Yubu and come to the Obsidian Forest to retreat." ”
"Ahh
Wu Xunyang's next words expressed his guess: "There is a heavenly book left by gods in the obsidian forest, and many demon clans know about it. I thought that the purpose of the Demon Spirit Emperor asking me to resign from the throne of Yube and go here to cultivate here was to let me leave everything behind and devote myself to the Heavenly Book to attain the true path. It's a pity that I am stupid and dull, I have lived up to the expectations of the emperor, and I have been enlightened for many years, but I still don't understand the mystery of the Book of Heaven. ”
"Since it is a miracle of the Book of Heaven, how can it be so easy to comprehend? I believe that many people have also come to the Obsidian Forest to see it, but none of them persevered, only the predecessors of Wu, perseverance, perseverance, and the younger generations admired!" Xiao Tianhe said the truth, since the extension of the Book of Heaven, he has never studied it. Wu Xunyang braved the rain, snow, wind and frost, all year round, day and night, always facing those boring numbers to comprehend the fighting spirit of the gods, and this extraordinary heart alone is very worthy of respect.
"So what?" Wu Xunyang laughed at himself, "Whether you are enlightened or not depends on chance." Those who are destined can understand in a moment, and those who are not destined to spend a lifetime, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain, such as a mediocre person like me, who has spent a long time here in vain, but has not had the slightest understanding. ”
"The seniors are arrogant. Who in the world doesn't know the famous Dapeng King Wu Xunyang?" Xiao Tianhe had to be so comforted.
Wu Xunyang shook his head, he didn't care about those false names.
Xiao Tianhe asked timidly: "Senior, have you never thought of giving up over the years?"
"Give up ......" Wu Xunyang raised his hand and cast his eyes into the distance, "If it is my own will, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for three or five months." Do you know the white jade mountain wall of the beast department?"
"You know, it's a forbidden place for the beast department, and there are strange heavenly books carved on the mountain wall. ”
"That's right. The successive demon kings of the beast department are all amazing and beautiful, but the mystery of the white jade mountain wall has never been solved. I, Wu Xunyang, thought to myself, that I couldn't compare to those masters of the beast department, how could I dare to hope to crack the meaning of the Heavenly Book of the Obsidian Forest......? I once received an edict from the Demon Spirit Emperor in the Burning Heaven Palace-only one person can understand the Heavenly Book in the Obsidian Forest, and then the Emperor personally told me, let me not be anxious, concentrate on cultivating here, and wait for the opportunity to come. So I took it for granted that the person who was destined to be me would be me. Wu Xunyang stroked his two long eyebrows, and his tone was full of vicissitudes, "But, after so many years, there are a total of fifty-six obsidian here, let alone understanding one of them, I haven't even figured it out! Now that I think about it, the Demon Spirit Emperor didn't promise me anything, maybe the so-called 'chance' is just their expectation of me!"
"Hmm......" Xiao Tianhe pondered for a while, "Senior Wu, do you think the ten Demon Spirit Emperors know the mystery of the Book of Heaven?"
Wu Xunyang's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed again, he shook his head and said, "I understand what you mean, in fact, I once suspected that the Heavenly Book of the Obsidian Forest may have been left by the Demon Spirit Emperor." In this case, it does not conflict with the instruction that only one of the Three Realms can penetrate. So I thought that the Emperor had asked you to come to me with some hint of decryption, but you said that they didn't mention it, so I don't know. ”
"The juniors have a little personal opinion, and they have the right to listen to the seniors. Your princesses are not only powerful and extraordinary, but also know the things of the world. If even they can't understand the mystery of the Book of Heaven, how can they expect Senior Wu to be that destined person? In my opinion, the Book of Heaven is probably left by the Taigong, and the words that I told Senior Wu were not expectations, but very certain orders. Since Taigong said that there is a 'chance', then there will definitely be. Now Senior Wu has not understood the slightest, that is, the 'opportunity' has not arrived. Xiao Tianhe analyzed carefully.
Wu Xunyang nodded to him: "Thank you." Now that Taigong has not mentioned the matter of the Book of Heaven, then we will put it down for the time being. The prince asked you to come to me, and I will naturally spare no effort to guide you to cultivate. However, there is one thing you have to be honest with me, what you are
You don't have to worry, even if it's really a sideshow, I won't judge you for anything, I just want to tell you the truth, so that I can plan how to guide you. ”
Having said that, when it comes to the secret of the "void", Xiao Tianhe still has to lie: "I was seriously injured and poisoned, and I should have returned to Huangquan, thanks to the rescue of your princesses, healing my injuries, reshaping my meridians, and raising my skill from the four-elephant level to the seven-star level." ”
Wu Xunyang suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh: "I see, no wonder." Xiao Tianhe, the two of us have similar experiences, but you are far luckier than me!"
"Oh, how do you say that?" Xiao Tianhe remembered that Wu Xunyang once said that his skill attribute was changed from other attributes to yin attributes.
"This is going to start with the trip to the Burning Heaven Palace...... "Wu Xunyang began to recall the long past.
It turned out that there were only seven people who broke into the Burning Heaven Palace last time. In addition to Wu Xunyang, there are three demon clans and three human beings. The three demon clans are all masters, and their names may be "unknown", but when it comes to the ontology of the three of them, they are famous: Quail, Invention, and Jiao Ming.
Xiao Tianhe was greatly surprised when he heard this, and the people who went to the Burning Heaven Palace with Wu Xunyang, the king of Dapeng, turned out to be three of the five great spirit birds, and these four demon clans were all from the feather tribe! That is to say, four of the seven Zhu Tian Seven Yao plates were obtained by the feather tribe demon clan. What a coincidence!
Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!
In this regard, Wu Xunyang said: "The master of the Burning Heaven Palace is the best caster in the world, and it is reasonable for Zhu Tianqiyao to fall into the hands of an outstanding caster in the end. Partridge Feng Qinhe, inventor Zhu Yushuang, Jiao Mingsi Chonghuan are all well-known casters, at that time, among the five spirit bird casters, Youchang Qu Xingxuan's whereabouts are unknown, Phoenix Lan Hongbo, that is, my sworn brother has crossed the catastrophe and ascended, and the remaining three people gathered together, I vaguely felt as if someone had planned it. ”
"Who are the three of them?" Xiao Tianhe asked.
Wu Xunyang shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"So you don't have any grudges against each other, do you?"
Wu Xunyang glanced at Xiao Tianhe strangely: "Why do you have this question? The Burning Heaven Palace is dangerous, and the people who travel with you should take care of each other, if they have ghosts, how can they tide over the difficulties together?"
Xiao Tianhe touched his chin and fell into deep thought. After breaking through the seventh layer of the Burning Heaven Palace, the Tianma Layer, Xiao Tianhe resolutely gave up the treasures obtained in the previous layers in exchange for sacrificing the souls of his companions. At that time, Steward Meng once said such a sentence: "It is really more 'complete' than the last time!" It is based on this sentence and the rumor that "many masters died in the Burning Heavenly Palace last time", Xiao Tianhe speculated: On the last trip to the Burning Heavenly Palace, when some people were faced with a final choice, they did not choose to resurrect their companions, but chose to keep the treasure. Wu Xunyang, the king of Dapeng, is the only survivor, and I am afraid that he is the one who makes the choice. He Tianyao gave an explanation for this choice: "Perhaps for someone, it is only 'fellow travelers' who die, not 'companions'. However, this explanation does not match Wu Xunyang's words today.
"You can survive the Burning Heaven Palace, you must know that strange rule, right?" Without waiting for Xiao Tianhe to ask, Wu Xunyang mentioned the matter first, "I think, you must think that I gave up my companion's life for the sake of the baby, right?"
Xiao Tianhe said sincerely: "Isn't it? After all, only one of the seniors survived the last trip to the Burning Heaven Palace...... I'm sorry, but I'm not trying to blame my seniors, and while I don't support it, I can understand the choices you made after nine deaths. ”
"Then you are very wrong! I, Wu Xunyang, am also a demon king, how could I do such an unkind and unrighteous thing? What's more, there are three outstanding forgers in my feather department among my companions, no matter what, I won't be so mad as to abandon them, right?" Wu Xunyang's voice was very lonely, "Actually, I was also 'killed' in the Burning Heaven Palace, and it was not me who made the final choice. ”
"What?" Xiao Tianhe was completely confused at this moment. If the person who made the choice was not Wu Xunyang, it would not make sense. If he chooses a treasure, then Wu Xunyang will not be resurrected, and if he chooses a companion, then Wu Xunyang will not be the only one who will survive.
"I am grateful to that fellow human whose selflessness has brought back to life all those who have been sacrificed. It was originally a happy event for all the people to survive, but they never expected that at the moment of leaving the Burning Heaven Palace, an accident occurred. Wu Xunyang said bitterly, "It was that accident that injured me and killed my companions!"
"This ...... Could it be that someone was ambushing outside the palace and attacking?" Xiao Tianhe could only think of this possibility. However, with the strength of this group of people, what kind of master can make them suffer heavy casualties?
"It was indeed a 'sneak attack', but the other party was not a person. Wu Xunyang said, "The crisis appeared too suddenly, and none of us had time to react. It wasn't a man, it wasn't a beast, it was ...... A strange black blade. ”
The second monk Xiao Tianhe was puzzled: "What black blade?"
"I didn't see it really, I just felt that it was a handleless black blade that suddenly appeared beside us, and a surging force surged out on it, instantly crushing everyone, Feng Qinhe and Zhu Yushuang, who were closest to the black blade, were directly torn to pieces, and Si Chonghuan behind them was also broken into several pieces after flicking his fingers. The man standing in front of me was not dead, but his skin was already peeled and he could not live. In the end, only me and the other person were lucky, standing the farthest away from the black blade, and we had time to urge the power to protect the body, but we were still stunned and fell into a coma. Recalling the tragic scene at the beginning, Wu Xunyang still can't let go.
Xiao Tianhe felt as if he was listening to a story: "Is there such a powerful divine weapon in the world?"
The empty knife should be the best, but even if it is a nine-palace level master, it will not be able to kill many masters directly by relying on weapons without appearing, right?
The Nine Palace-level masters can't do it, so could it be the work of the ten-level masters? However, the Sword Venerable, Sword Truth, and Demon Emperor, who have already survived the Doomsday Tribulation and are about to soar, why would they kill people for the treasure of the Burning Heaven Palace?
"It's unheard of...... How did the seniors escape and ascend to heaven later?" Xiao Tianhe asked.
"Before I fell unconscious, my vision was blurry, as if I vaguely saw a majestic figure flash in front of us, blocking the black blade for us, and then I fell into a coma. Then I was awakened by a voice I had heard before, it was the Demon Emperor. Listening to you today, I realized that he was just one of the Demon Spirit Emperors. Presumably it was the Emperor who saved our lives. However, I was seriously injured, and the Demon Spirit Orb was almost completely destroyed, but fortunately, there was a treasure left to me by the Great Emperor, with the help of which I was able to recover from my injuries and turn my original metallic power into a yin attribute. But my skills have not improved like yours, so I said, the two of us have similar experiences when our meridians were destroyed, but you are luckier than me. ”
"It turns out that the treasure obtained by the predecessor is not a thing from the Burning Heaven Palace!"
"When the accident happened, I hadn't stepped out of the Burning Heaven Palace, so the last time we met, I said that it was 'the treasure I got in the Burning Heaven Palace', not the 'treasure I got from the Burning Heaven Palace'. After all, it's so appalling to say that I didn't tell anyone. ”
Xiao Tianhe nodded, but Wu Xunyang's words still made him a little confused, and he planned to ask them one by one: "Senior, when we came out of the Burning Heaven Palace, we were teleported out by Steward Meng with a wave of his sleeves, why did you come out by yourself?"
Wu Xunyang looked very surprised: "Steward Meng?
"Haven't you seen the butler of the Burning Heaven Palace?"
Wu Xunyang replied with great certainty: "No." From beginning to end in the Burning Heaven Palace, we have not seen a single person, only fierce gods and evil spirits, strange insects and beasts. ”
"Huh, who told you the weird rule of 'give up your resurrected companions'?"
It's written on the wall on the last floor. Wu Xunyang gestured, there is a stone platform under the wall, and there is a big urn in the middle of the platform, as long as you put everything you get in it, you will give up. ”
Xiao Tianhe frowned, thought about it, and asked again, "How many floors are there in the Burning Heaven Palace?"
"Seven layers, each Zhu Tian Qiyao board opens the corresponding layer. Wu Xunyang was even more surprised, and said in his heart that Xiao Tianhe went to the Burning Heaven Palace, how could he not even know how many floors there were.
Xiao Tianhe estimated that the appearance of the eighth layer of the Burning Heaven Palace should be because of the existence of the Middle Palace Ring. In this way, the previous two questions can be answered. Steward Meng appeared to guide He Tianyao into the eighth layer, the middle palace layer, and teleported everyone out of the Burning Heaven Palace because the Burning Heaven Palace was about to transform back into Lingguang Pei.
The remaining question is the number of people. Xiao Tianhe: "Senior, five people died in the accident you described just now, and later you said, 'The Great Emperor saved our lives', is you not the only one who survived?"
"Yes, there is another human besides me, who is lucky not to die. ”
"Then why is it rumored that you are the only one who survived?" This is indeed strange, although the rumors cannot be believed, but simple things like "one or two" should not be wrong, and the person who survived is the best proof.
Wu Xunyang suddenly smiled: "Actually, the rumors were not wrong at first, but they were misunderstood later. It would be accurate to say, 'I was the only one who walked out of the Burning Heaven Palace alive', because the other person stayed in the Burning Heaven Palace. Of course, this is also what the Emperor meant. ”
Xiao Tianhe's eyebrows were raised to a height of half a day: "There is still such a thing?"
"That person's injuries are more serious than mine, and the Emperor must have left him in the Burning Heaven Palace to help him heal his injuries. Wu Xunyang touched his beard and seemed to remember something again, "But that person ...... Something strange. He arrived in a hurry at the last minute before the Burning Sky Palace opened, and he was already wounded. During the period of breaking into the palace, he kept his face covered, said little, hardly spoke to us, and even deliberately kept a distance from us when he walked, like ...... It's like you're always on the lookout for something. ”
