Qiu Fuji's mother's name is Yu Qingluan, a female monk, and at this moment she was sitting in the middle of the room, and suddenly smiled: "Qiu Han, this guy, is also cold with his son in private. ”

Yu Qingluan got up and came to the bronze mirror, saw the figure in the mirror, and sighed in a low voice: "Qingluan, Qingluan, your sons are all adults, and you should be old." After saying that, the person in the mirror seemed to be a little older, and it seemed that there was no change.

Qiu Buer took the two twin brothers, and when he returned home, he saw his mother at the door to greet him, and the Qiu brothers stepped forward to salute, Yu Qingluan smiled and said: "It's good to come back, let's go to dinner, I prepared something delicious, don't leave a little for that cold guy." ”

Qiu's mother and son entered the door, and Qiu Buji was about to say a few words to his mother, Yu Qingluan said: "You go and freshen up and change clothes, I already knew about the Batu Caves." "Yu Qingluan's craftsmanship is obviously not as good as Fengting, the Qiu brothers eat with grinning teeth, after a meal, Qiu Buer's heart is full of warmth, with the food made by his mother, the taste of home will always be so special.

In the same deep night, Qiu Fuji sat on the bed, looking out the window in a daze, while Bei Lieyang fell asleep. Qiu Fuji's eyebrows flickered, and the mist vortex in the eyebrows of the Northern Sun slowly rotated, and before they knew it, both of them had secrets that could not be expressed.

When he woke up the next day, Bei Lieyang's spirit was restored, and after breakfast, Bei Lieyang got up and went to the ancestral house, Beiyuan admonished: "Lieyang, you will tell the high priest about your experience in the Batu Cave without missing a leak, he is the Optimus Pillar of our clan. "Bei Lieyang should come down, give a gift to his parents and leave.

Bei Lieyang walked slowly on the path, his heart was still full of sadness, what was the world outside the Black Fog Forest like?

When Bei Lieyang came to the ancestral house, he saw Qiu Fuji standing outside the door, so he said, "Fuji, let's go, go and see the high priest." ”

Qiu Buji shook his head and said, "I've already met the high priest, you go in, I'll wait for you at the old place." After saying that, Qiu Buji walked away, and soon disappeared without a trace. Seeing Qiu Fuji leaving, Bei Lieyang had to step forward and knock on the door alone, and Araki's voice came from the courtyard: "Come in, Lieyang." ”

When Bei Lieyang entered the door, he saw Araki standing under the locust tree, caressing the trunk with his hand, his body was covered with wind and frost, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night last night. Bei Lieyang stepped forward and saluted, "Lieyang has seen the High Priest. ”

Araki waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, come into the house, I have something to say to you." The two walked one after the other to the ancestral house, where Araki sat on a chair and Bei Lieyang stood in the center of the room.

Bei Lieyang saluted again: "High Priest, after we entered the Batu Cave that day......"

Araki raised his hand to stop it, "I already know what happened in the Batu Caves, you don't have to mention it again, understand?"

Bei Lieyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, I won't mention the matter of the Batu Cave again." ”

Araki had an appreciative look on his face, and then sighed lightly, "Lieyang, do you know how many teenagers have died in my horned human race this time?"

This topic was so heavy that it suddenly overwhelmed Bei Lieyang, he counted many times in the Batu Cave, and naturally knew the answer clearly, and replied: "Twenty-three." ”

Araki said, "Lieyang, do you think it's more or less?"

Bei Lieyang's voice was full of sadness: "Of course it's too much, if I hadn't chased Qiu Fuji, I wouldn't have died so many people." ”

Araki shook his head and said, "Lieyang, you still don't understand, this trip to the Batu Caves, except for you and Fuji, everyone else can be sacrificed, and twenty-three people died, which is less than I expected." Bei Lieyang was shocked when he heard this, his eyes looked directly at Araki, and he was silent.

Araki said: "The rise of every horned human lord is full of blood and casualties, life and death are trivial matters, and the key depends on whether death is worthwhile." Bei Lieyang continued to remain silent.

Araki said: "My horned human race came to the abyss five thousand years ago, fighting with the desolate beasts, fighting with the void beasts, fighting with the human race, fighting with the demons, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, I don't know how many people died, we horned people, and we are not afraid of sacrifice. ”

Bei Lieyang suddenly said: "I think they can not be sacrificed. ”

Araki said: "They will inevitably be sacrificed, do you want to be trapped in the darkness for the rest of your life? If you want to get out of the Black Fog Forest, out of the Great Wilderness Ridge, and don't have to fight for human lives, do you expect the human race to produce another flower demon adult?"

Bei Lieyang hurriedly said: "I have a way, I just have to try." ”

Araki said, "If you have an idea, go and try it." Lieyang, what do you think is what determines the life and death of my horned people?"

Bei Lieyang said: "It should be strength." ”

Araki said: "You're right, what determines the life and death of my horned people is power. But this power is by no means the power of the general public, but the power of the top powerhouses. ”

A touch of madness flashed across Araki's face, and he muttered, "Lieyang, you haven't experienced the death of the horned people, I have seen it, I have seen it." Our clan has been working hard for several generations, and finally ushered in the golden world, the four patriarchs, all of whom are ninth-order refining body cultivation, have the ability to move mountains and seas, and every corner person thinks that our clan is hopeful, so our clan began to walk out of the black fog forest, out of the Great Wilderness Mountains, and return to the world full of sunshine. ”

Bei Lieyang had heard this history several times, but it was vague and vague, and this time he listened to Araki talk about it, and when he had a rare opportunity, he listened quietly.

Araki continued: "At the peak of our army, we had already attacked the iron gate pass, which was known as the lock key of the Western Regions of the Terran Race, and then, Lord Hua Xiaodemon appeared, and he disintegrated our clan's offensive while talking and laughing. The four patriarchs were defeated and retreated back to the Black Mist Forest, and ten days later, the Flower Demon came to the Black Mist Forest. ”

A clear portrait flashed in front of Araki's eyes again: the four patriarchs stood proudly in the air, their mental and physical strength had been fully recovered, and their momentum was like the abyss, and the lazy figure stood in the air casually, sighing: "The horned people are the same as the human race, they are all people, the same race, I don't want to hurt the foundation of the horned people, I don't want you to be big." Since I'm in the abyss, I have no choice but to let you be quiet, so as to save you the trouble in the future. ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, the bodies of the four patriarchs fell from the air to the ground, and the flower demon appeared again in front of thousands of horned people, sighing: "You wait to live well, with my flower demon in the abyss for a day, no one will go to the Black Mist Forest to disturb you, of course, you don't have to think about anything else, it's useless to think about it." The figure of the flower demon slowly disappeared into the air, the whole horned human race hung filial piety, and the high priest Nanheng led everyone to pay tribute.

Araki appeared in front of his eyes again, overnight, Nanheng's hair turned gray, he sat in front of Araki, and said softly: "The death of the horned people, the death of the horned people, my clan has been planning for a hundred years, but the human race has a flower demon, since the sky is dead to my horned human race, I am also going to see the ancestors, Araki, from today onwards, you are the high priest." You are more stoic than me, so you will lead your people in the Black Mist Forest and wait for the next dawn. ”

That night, Nanheng died without illness, Araki took over as the high priest, and the world of the horned people was only dim and inexhaustible wild beasts, and in twenty years, one by one the vivid faces turned into nothing, until the northern scorching sun and autumn Fuji came to the fore.

Araki slowly came to his senses and said sharply, "Lieyang, if you want to restore the glory of the Horned Race, put away all your weaknesses. For thousands of years, the horned people have died countless people, we use blood to continue the fortune of the race, and what we are waiting for is the peerless strong, only the peerless strong can lead our clan out of the black fog forest, out of the great wilderness, and stand again under the warm sun. ”

Bei Lieyang looked at the crazy high priest, shook his head and said, "High priest, is it possible that among those who died, no one can become a peerless powerhouse?"

Araki said: "Lieyang, you are still young, you remember, no matter what circumstances, those who can survive will always have more potential than those who die. Those who died, either because of poor strength, or because of bad luck, or even because of clansmen and emotional ties, but as long as they died, it means that their fate should be like this, and there is no chance to become a peerless powerhouse. The peerless strong cannot die. ”

This sentence is a paradox, everyone is dead, and naturally they can't be peerless. Bei Lieyang was still angry in his heart, and said: "We are not chess pieces, not chess pieces of the patriarch and elders, not the chess pieces of those adults, even if we die, we should die on the battlefield, not in the experiment." ”

Araki said angrily: "Northern Blazing Sun, the Black Wind Cave is a battlefield, there is no place in the Black Mist Forest that is not a battlefield, since they are dead, they are dead." If you don't want to become a pawn and a corpse, just like the flower demon, be a peerless powerhouse, so that you can protect the horned people and survive in the abyss and even the heavens and all worlds. ”

Bei Lieyang said: "Peerless powerhouse, don't you need people to follow?

Araki said: "Lord Beiyun soared on the top of Lingyun Peak, Lord Wasteland ascended after the Great War, Lord Nanfeng God suppressed the human race for decades, and had no choice but to ascend, Lord Qiu Yunxi was unpredictable, leaving a sneer and ascending. Only the Terran Flower Demon Lord, in order to walk with his wife, dragged it out until fifteen years ago before he ascended. The scorching sun, the peerless powerhouses are all lonely, of course, the peerless powerhouses don't lack followers at all, it's just that the followers won't make the peerless powerhouses not lonely, they just make them more outstanding. ”

Having said this, Bei Lieyang's respect for Araki suddenly couldn't be found, and there was a sentence blocked in his chest, not vomiting or unhappy, so Bei Lieyang asked in the calmest tone: "High Priest, may I ask, are you a peerless powerhouse?"

Araki was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Hahahaha, that's a good question, I'm a peerless powerhouse, I'm just a poor worm who stole in the Black Mist Forest." As I just said, you should be dreaming. ”

There was silence in the ancestral house, and after a long time, Araki said: "Lieyang, you can ask me that, it means that you really have the qualifications of a peerless powerhouse, and no one can become a peerless powerhouse, but, Lieyang, you are still young, don't carry the whole clan on your back, under the pressure, people will go crazy." ”

Bei Lieyang saluted respectfully: "The kid said wildly, I hope the high priest will forgive me, since I Bei Lieyang was born as a horned person, I naturally want to lead the whole clan out of the black mist forest, out of the Great Wilderness Mountains, and let my horned human race return to the center of the abyss." ”

Araki waved his hand, and the Northern Sun retreated, and Araki sat quietly on the chair, and after a while, he sighed: "Lie Yang, sooner or later, you will know that the center of the abyss is the Black Mist Forest." ”
