Chapter 14: The Lich War
I don't know how far away from the Tianshan Mountains, in the dark environment, a figure stopped. With the help of the faint light, it could be vaguely seen that this figure was the black-robed man who had just injured Lu Yu on Qixia Peak. And there was an old man standing in front of him, this old man was no stranger, he was actually the murderer of Lu Yu's mother.
The old man sensed the movement and asked without any waves, "How is it going, has Fluttershy's evil seed been solved?"
After hearing this, the black-robed man hurriedly knelt down on one knee with his hands clenched into fists and said, "Father, the child was about to succeed. However, the demon pill of the Holy Aunt came out at a critical moment to help him block the fatal blow, and when the child was about to make a move, he was stopped by the Qi Xia Peak Sect. However, I estimate that kid is also more than lucky, and I am afraid that he will not live long after being scratched through the internal organs by my Nether White Tiger! Even if he survives by luck, I am afraid that he will be controlled by the demon power and become inhuman, and those Taoist priests of the Tianshan Sect will also eradicate it without our action!"
The old man frowned slightly, stroked his beard, and said, "Alas, it's all bad fate, if she had been able to hold Fluttershy in time, she wouldn't have made such a big mistake, what a stupid daughter of her father." As he spoke, he walked towards a crystal coffin behind him, and his wrinkled hand stroked the crystal coffin. I saw a woman lying in the crystal coffin, the woman's appearance was overwhelming, and her body was not decomposed, and her face was lying in the crystal coffin with a kind face, this woman was Lu Yu's mother.
"Hmph! It's Ji Xueqing's old way, it's really a good thing to hurt me, and she obstructs my actions one after another, since she dares to take this son in, I hope she won't regret it. As for the kid, if he survives this tribulation, he will live a few more years, and if he dies like this, he will really live up to Fluttershy's expectations of him. ”
The black-robed man paused and asked, "Then what are we going to do next?"
The old man pondered for a while and said, "Kong'er, do you know the Lich War during the Flood Waste?"
The black-robed man pondered for a moment, and said in a solemn tone: "During the flood and famine, the Wu Clan and our Demon Clan had the same ancestor. And the ancestor witch is warlike, Gonggong and Zhu Rong are incompatible with water and fire, in the battle of Buzhou Mountain, both of them are damaged, during which Gonggong angrily touches Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of heaven is broken, Nuwa mends the sky, during which the fragments of colorful stones fall in the flood. The ten sons of the Eastern Emperor violated the rules of heaven, and traveled to the ancient desolate land in ten days, and the lives were devastated. Subsequently, because the punishment of the Eastern Emperor was too light, the great witch Kua's father was dissatisfied, and he did a day-by-day thing, and the ten sons of the Eastern Emperor killed Kua's father. After the Great Witch Kuafu was killed, the Great Witch Houyi was furious, and with the power of the tribe, with various secret techniques of the Wu clan, he made arrows and shot nine golden crows. After Hou Yi shot and killed nine golden crows, he was killed by our clan, and the contradiction between the Wu clan and our clan became increasingly intensified. ”
The old man also sighed: "Yes, since that war, the ancestor of the Eastern Emperor has passed away, and the twelve demon gods have also fallen since then. The Wu clan was killed and wounded heavily, the twelve ancestors and the great witch were also killed and wounded, and since then the Wu clan has retreated to the southern Xinjiang, and the clansmen have lived in seclusion in the Wu Valley for generations. And our demon clan is also gradually lonely, and those lowly humans have ascended to the sky in one step and become the master. ”
The black-robed man nodded slightly and said, "Could it be that my father is planning to ......?"
The old man's eyes were full of anger and he said, "That's right, the witch clan will produce a holy witch in a hundred years, and the next holy witch should have already been born." When she grows up, her blood is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Moreover, the Holy Witch has passed down a secret for generations, and this secret is not even known to the head of the Tianshan Sect, Xuan Xuozi, and the late Qing Xuzi. ”
The black-robed man was puzzled and asked, "What's the secret?"
The old man said solemnly: "Do you know the Luoshu River map." ”
The black-robed man's face changed suddenly, and he said, "According to legend, this thing was there when the Pangu Great God opened the world. It's just that it is said to be very profound, and it has disappeared from the world for thousands of years. I wonder what my father wants this for?"
The old man stroked his beard and said, "Do you know, the Luoshu River Diagram records the trajectory and laws of the world, and it is also the eye of our demon clan's great array of protectors, Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array. I also want to use this object to find my clan's long-lost Donghuang Bell. With the Eastern Emperor Bell, I am no longer afraid of the divine weapon of the Tianshan Sect. Besides, the Luoshu River map is the property of my clan, and I want to retrieve the treasures of my ancestors!"
The black-robed man thought about it for a while, stepped forward and asked, "Then what should we do?"
The old man replied: "Don't be in a hurry at this time, ten years later, the Wu Clan Ceremony, when the new Holy Witch will perform the succession ceremony, then it will be our time to do it, and I will retreat and cultivate in the past ten years." And all the big and small affairs of the clan are left to you to take care of, and you and the four protectors must always pay attention to the movements of the Wu clan. ”
The black-robed man and the old man glanced at each other, nodded to each other and left. The old man stood there and sighed a few times, and then disappeared into the darkness. In the huge secret room, only a cold crystal coffin lay in the center, and on the table next to the crystal coffin lay a broken book, the pages of which had been yellowed. I saw that the page recorded: During the Lich War, the demon clan had the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, using the Hetu Luo Book as the formation eye, against the Wu Clan's twelve heavenly gods, the twelve ancestors and witches all had quasi-holy cultivation, but the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun and Kunpeng were all the leaders at that time, the two clans did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and the later Gong Gong fell and the Hou Tu incarnated into the Six Dao, when the Wu clan was defeated, Kunpeng escaped with the River Tuluo Book, and the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array was shattered, and Di Jun was furious and exploded his body. Ju Mang and the corpses that were closer to the house were destroyed, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was so sad and angry that he killed Xuan Ming, Candle Jiuyin and Gong Zi blew up their bodies and finally seriously injured the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi shouted: "Heaven and earth are not kind, all things are used as dogs, saints are not benevolent, and living beings are ants." Since the Heavenly Dao wants to destroy the demon clan, then today I am fighting to the death. After that, he turned into a three-legged golden crow and urged the Eastern Emperor Bell to blow up the Yuan Shen, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi fell with the rest of the ancestral witches. Thousands of years later, the great supernatural powers of the year only left the body of the rising curtain.
On the Tianshan Mountain, the night gradually faded, and the morning sun greeted it, and the sun that had rested all night also slowly rose. A beam of warm sunlight shone into the thatched house behind Qixia Peak, and shone on the face of Lu Yu, who had been asleep for an unknown period of time. On the table beside him lay a girl who was Yun Yao, and the birds on the grass hut spread their wings and flew away with a chirp. Lu Yu, who had been asleep for an unknown amount of time, opened his eyes when he heard the sound, sat up slowly, looked at the scene around him, and said, "Is this heaven? The old man outside the door heard the movement inside the house and hurriedly broke down the door. As the wooden door opened, a ray of dazzling sunlight shone into the room, and Yun Yao, who was lying on the table next to her, also rubbed her eyes. Lu Yu looked at the two, and the two of them also looked at Lu Yu with wide eyes.
Bai Caosheng walked quickly to Lu Yu's side, grabbed his pulse, and asked thoughtfully, "Boy, how is it still painful?"
Lu Yu was a little at a loss, touched his head and asked, "What happened to Uncle Shi, I remember that I seemed to have been eaten by a big tiger!"
Seeing that the pulse was stable, but his breath was a little unstable, and it was good to rest for a few days, Bai Caosheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Don't you remember what happened later?"
Lu Yu desperately returned 100 million, but he couldn't think of anything. Baicaosheng touched his pale beard and said to himself: "Forget the good, forget the good." ”
Yun Yao on the side walked over and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, do you know how long you've been lying down?" Lu Yu shook his head. Yun Yao said angrily: "You have been asleep for ten days, and in these ten days, Uncle Shi and I have been guarding you every day and night, you see that the two of us are going to become giant pandas." ”
Lu Yu looked at the two of them carefully, and saw that there were a few more wrinkles on the vicissitudes of life on the uncle's face, and his eyes were also full of bloodshots, and the junior sister next to him, the pair of watery peach blossom eyes also had a small dark circle. He lowered his head with some self-reproach and thanked softly: "Thank you Uncle for saving my life, thank you Sister for caring about me so much!"
Yun Yao, who was beside her, hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, I should thank you Senior Brother Lu, thank you for saving my life, otherwise it might be me who is lying here!"
Bai Caosheng followed closely and said: "You kid, I didn't see it, you are quite brave, and it is not in vain that your master values you." How's that, there's still something on my body that feels uncomfortable. ”
Lu Yu touched all parts of his body, and found that the original wounds had also healed, and he exhaled deeply, and found that for some reason, he only felt that the breath in the dantian was unusually comfortable. Puzzled, he asked, "Why do I feel that when I breathe, the dantian is unusually comfortable, which is very different from before." ”
Bai Caosheng was silent after hearing this, and did not say a word. And next to Yun Yao said: "Hmph, you are really a blessing in disguise, do you know why the dantian is so comfortable, Master Xue Qing has taught you his internal strength for nearly ten years, and this treatment can only be had when the successive generations of masters alternate." ”
Lu Yu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly jumped off the bed and asked, "Uncle Shi, what's going on, Master?"
Bai Caosheng was silent for a while, took a breath and said: "The tiger you met that day was not an ordinary tiger, it was a thousand-year-old demon beast in the demon clan, called the Netherworld White Tiger, and you were shot through by the Netherworld White Tiger in order to save the little girl. According to common sense, you have no chance of survival, but fortunately, it was Xue Qingzhen's timely appearance that repelled the Netherworld White Tiger, which rescued the two of you. But your heart has been badly damaged and you have lost too much blood. I wasn't sure I could save you, so your master protected your heart with his own strong true qi, and then spent nearly ten years of internal strength for you. Don't look at her who doesn't teach you kung fu on weekdays, she still cares about you as a disciple very much, otherwise she wouldn't have spent years of cultivation to save you. ”
After hearing this, Lu Yu felt very guilty, and without saying a word, he pushed open the wooden door and ran away. Yun Yao was about to catch up, but was stopped by Bai Caosheng.
"Forget it, it's his own knot, let him untie it himself. ”
