Volume 1 Hearing the Tao Qianqing Chapter 34 Shocking
The fan in the middle-aged scribe's hand stopped. He looked at the full moon that was close at hand, and then glanced at Li Qingchen, his eyes were a little erratic.
"You should know about the big war against the demons back then, right?" the middle-aged scribe asked Li Qingchen.
"I know something, a few days ago, Yuan Miao Dao Chang told me through the Taiyi Mirror in the purple forest. Li Qingchen scratched his head and replied.
"Oh? it's him...... Interesting, interesting. The middle-aged scribe smiled and said.
"Interesting, senior, are you going to tell me something about the demon race?" asked Li Qingchen.
The middle-aged scribe nodded slightly, then shook his head again. He shook the feather fan from time to time and muttered for a long time before he spoke slowly.
"Yes and no. Presumably Yuan Miao also told you that three thousand years ago, the demons invaded the world through the rift. β
Li Qingchen nodded.
"In fact, on the eve of the invasion of the demon race, I and the other three divine beasts were aware of it, but because we had some important things in our bodies at the time, we couldn't take care of them, so the demon race was rampant in the world for a while. Later, our four divine beasts pulled out and hurried to the swamp with the largest rift...... It's a pity that the swamp at that time was full of shadows, and there were no more creatures left. β
"I knew there was a big rift at that time, and I had heard it from Ji Yao, and I thought it was terrible when I imagined it. Li Qingchen said.
"Yes, it's scary. Even we were shocked to see what we were looking at. The middle-aged scribe paused and said, "It's too miserable." β
"And what happened later?" asked Li Qingchen.
The middle-aged scribe glanced at Li Qingchen and continued: "Later...... Later, our four holy beasts joined forces to seal the rift in the swamp land, so that the demon race would no longer enter the human world on a large scale from the rift in the swamp land. But there are countless demons who have already entered the human world through the rift, scattered all over the place, and with our strength at that time, we have no skills......"
"But senior, what I saw from the Taiyi Mirror was that Yuan Miao Dao Chang had sealed the rift......" Li Qingchen couldn't help but interrupt.
The middle-aged scribe smiled slightly, and he said: "Yes, we also found traces of the crack being sealed when we were sealing, and later we learned that it was the Yuan Miao Daoist of the Heavenly Machine Gate, which is also one of the reasons why we later became the guardian holy beast of the Heavenly Machine Gate." It's just that the demonic energy of the rift is too domineering, and it soon eroded the seal of the Yuan Miao Dao people, and by the time a few of us arrived, the swamp had already become a dead land. β
"So that's ......," Li Qingchen said in a daze.
The middle-aged scribe nodded and said, "That's right, if it weren't for the timely seal of the Yuan Miao Dao people at that time, I think that not only the swampy land, but even the expulsion land further south would be in danger of being swallowed up." So we were also glad at the time, if the sealing rift was really delayed because of that incident, and the innocent human beings in the world died tragically, and we would be to blame......
"Don't talk about this, I was interrupted by you, and I babbled on and on some useless things. Don't interrupt me if you have any questions, do you hear me? The middle-aged scribe shook his fan and patted Li Qingchen, Li Qingchen grinned and responded.
"Later, we had no skills, so we had to turn into human forms and contact the cultivation sects everywhere, so that they could focus on the overall situation and jointly resist the invasion of the demons. It's just that there are many Tianji sects, and there are many amazing and gorgeous people, so it is also the strongest sect among them. β
"Because in Jing'an City outside the swampland, we met the Taoist priests of the Tianji Gate, and learned that they had all gone down the mountain to fight in the rifts in various places, so we discussed going to the remaining sects separately to persuade them to resist the invasion of the demons together. The middle-aged scribe said, as if he had fallen into a memory, he turned his head and asked Li Qingchen: "Boy, do you have any wine?"
"Ahh......h
"It's a mixed ginjo, I haven't drunk it in a long time...... Only Tianjimen will have this kind of taste, which is up to but not pretentious, strong but not hurtful. Alas, alas, alas. The middle-aged scribe took a sip, shook his head and sighed.
"Senior, what kind of pity are you talking about?" Li Qingchen asked puzzled.
"Oh, nothing, I continued, and continued. After the four of us separated, I went to Prajna Temple alone. I thought that the great enemy would be very smooth in convincing the people of the Pranya Temple, but I never thought that when I arrived at the Pranya Temple, I was closed. β
The middle-aged scribe smiled bitterly, and then said: "As a last resort, I had to use some thunderous means and apply a slight punishment to make a group of great monks of the Prajna Temple nod and agree. Later, except for some disciples with lower cultivation, most of the monks were assigned to Jing'an City by me, after all, it was the place with the most demons, and at the same time, I also sent a message to Suzaku and asked them to divide more people from the rest of the sects to Jing'an City. β
"Senior, isn't this very good? There are more people, isn't it better to deal with the demons?" Li Qingchen said.
"The bad is here. The middle-aged scribe took a sip of wine and shook his fan again. "I thought that using the identity and cultivation of our ancient divine beasts would deter the rest of the sects and let them contribute to this, but I never thought that it would cause a big deal. β
"Oh, senior, why don't you just say it first, don't drink it anymore, I'll ask my mother to send you a few jars of dyed flower brew when you go back. Li Qingchen said hurriedly.
"What our four divine beasts didn't expect was that at such a critical moment, there were still sects that wanted to preserve their strength and intrigue, human beings, heh, it was really treacherous. β
"I thought that with more strength, I could quickly clear the demons in Jing'an City. Unexpectedly, after the disciples of the other three factions arrived, they did not move, and even elected a person to speak. I couldn't help but shoot to death the most ferocious disciples of the three factions, but it also caused a riot, and even the Hannya Temple, which was originally active in destroying demons, swayed from side to side. β
The middle-aged scribe had some annoyance in his tone, and took a sip of wine.
"Senior, you four divine beasts can't make them obedient?" Li Qingchen was a little surprised. With the cultivation of the four great divine beasts, how could they deter these sects, how could there be chaos?
"Heh, boy, you are too naΓ―ve, these people gather to make trouble, even if we can kill them all, the disciples of Tianjimen will sit idly by? Maybe they will be regarded as the four fierce beasts by them, so what will happen to the demons? Wouldn't the people in the world be wiped out by the demons?"
The middle-aged scribe asked a series of questions, looking lonely, as if he was asking Li Qingchen, and as if he was asking himself.
Li Qingchen was silent, he didn't know whether he should kill those cultivators who didn't save the common people from fire and water, and he didn't know what to do in the situation at that time, but his heart was tugged at by this story at this time, he wanted to know what happened in the end, did the several sects finally reach an agreement to fight the demons together? Is Jing'an City as safe as ever?
The middle-aged scribe seemed to see through Li Qingchen's thoughts, and only listened to him continue to speak leisurely.
Later, Suzaku and the others came forward to mediate, and the situation was stabilized, and the city of Jing'an also reached unprecedented unity, and the time and frequency of the demon clan gradually decreased. At first, we all thought that the demons near Jing'an City had disappeared, and even Suzaku and I didn't feel the demonic energy, so we prepared to leave and go to other rifts, wanting to destroy the demons as soon as possible and restore the original order. β
"But later, when Suzaku and I returned to Jing'an City, we found that all the people in the city had disappeared...... You don't have to look at me like that, even if I used my supernatural powers, I wouldn't be able to detect any clues. At that time, Suzaku also cried, a 10,000-year-old monster...... Hahaha" The middle-aged scribe laughed to himself as he spoke.
"Senior, senior, you go on, what happened later? senior, don't go......" Li Qingchen shouted as he watched the middle-aged scribe turn into a streamer and rush into Li Qingchen's arm.
"This ......" Li Qingchen stood on the spot.
What about telling me something about the demons? This leaves an unending story, does it make me think about it myself? Li Qingchen couldn't help but complain.
"Boy, I know exactly what you want, so I'll be here today, your friends are about to wake up, and you don't want them to find me. β
The voice of the middle-aged scribe came into Li Qingchen's ears, Li Qingchen hurriedly looked back at Lihuo beside him, and sure enough, he found that Lihuo had woken up and was rubbing his eyes in a daze.
"Brother Qingchen, who were you talking to just now?" asked Lihuo.
"I didn't ...... No one, I was calling you just now, you see it's not too early, you hurry back to the Sword Pavilion. Li Qingchen touched his nose and said.
Lihuo looked at Li Qingchen suspiciously, and Li Qingchen pointed to the Chen Li people lying on the ground behind him.
"Go back quickly, or a few of my senior brothers will wake up in a while. β
"Okay, Brother Qingchen, you and Brother Jiyao have to come to me often, and now I'm the only one in the cave, I'm a little unused to it. β
"Okay, okay, something happened to my master a few days ago, if there is nothing to do in the future, I will definitely go to see you with a cold face. Li Qingchen touched his head from the fire and said comfortingly.
"Okay, Brother Qingchen, I'll wait for you......" After speaking, Lihuo turned into a fiery red python and rose into the air, disappearing in front of Li Qingchen's eyes in an instant.
Qinglong's words pressed on Li Qingchen's heart like a stone at this moment, heavy and painful. If nothing else, just for the old and young in Jing'an City who don't know what to do, and for those Tianjimen disciples who died tragically at the hands of the demons. Although he had never met them before, and he didn't know what they were called, he still felt depressed in his heart, as if he had done something that owed someone else.
The scenery of the mixed element gradually disappeared at some time, Li Qingchen also jumped off the stone, and the three people lying on the platform were sleeping peacefully at the moment, with slight snoring coming and going.
Li Qingchen looked at this scene and shook his head gently, why did he want to know such things? Why did it have to be him?
On Qinglong Peak, a cold wind blew, Li Qingchen wrapped himself in a green robe and slowly sat cross-legged on the ground.
Perhaps, when the sun rises tomorrow morning, it will slowly be different.
Perhaps, Li Qingchen thought like this at the moment.
