Chapter 123: The Legend of Half a Nedan
Before Li Sheng's words fell, the entire space suddenly burst open, and the crimson magma swept towards them as if out of thin air, and the nearest few lampposts were submerged and disappeared almost instantly.
And their group of large and small successfully jumped onto the giant beast skeleton at the last moment, and with Li Sheng's coquettish scream, the skeleton actually rose into the air, flapping huge bone wings and flying into the distance.
Until they flew far away, Tang Zixi was a little frightened, and finally understood why it was so hot before, and dared to love them to stay on the 'volcano' all the time.
"Don't be afraid, it'll go back to sleep when it's full. A thin voice came from my ear.
"Who?"
Seeing her turn her head, a small man who stood on her shoulder at some point stretched out his slender arm and said, "Hello, I'm Nine." ”
Tang Zixi hesitated for a moment before carefully pinching the other party's pointed fingers, shook them, and said solemnly: "Hello, Xiao Jiu!"
"This is the passage from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm, which is what you call the Gate of the Demon Realm. Jiuying has been staying here all the time, just to have a full meal every hundred years. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Jiu simply sat down, dangled the lower half of his tail on Miss Tang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, having me in Jiuying won't hurt you." ”
"Thank you!" Although he knew that the other party was mostly bragging, Tang Zixi still thanked him sincerely, and saw that the other villains were all around Li Sheng, but this one named Jiu stayed on his side, and couldn't help but say curiously, "Aren't you with them?"
Xiao Jiu snorted and said disdainfully: "Those brainless guys, I'm not happy to be with them." ”
"......" Tang Zixi opened his mouth and coughed a little embarrassed.
Xiao Jiu turned his head to look at the red in the distance, and said worriedly: "I didn't see it clearly when I was in a hurry just now, I don't know if its injuries are healed?"
Listening to this tone, this little guy is actually an acquaintance with Jiuying? Tang Zixi pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong with it?" Was it injured by anyone?"
Xiao Jiu snorted and said, "Since the last time it was injured by that monk's envoy, it has not been well, and every time the injury occurs, its temperament changes greatly, and sometimes even I don't recognize it." Speaking of this, she sighed heavily, turned her bare head to Tang Zixi and said seriously, "Jiuying is actually not bad, it just always feels hungry." ”
"Yes, it doesn't feel good to be hungry. Tang Zixi nodded with deep feeling, "Then what does it usually eat?" But as soon as she finished asking this question, she regretted it, because Xiao Jiu's answer was too indigestible.
"It eats everything, all kinds of ghosts, demons, demons, as long as it can eat. Every hundred years, those demons in the demon realm will run out to hunt everywhere, and the Nine Babies will stay there, waiting for them to come back and eat them together. ”
Xiao Jiu turned his head after speaking, as if to observe whether other people had noticed this, and then leaned into her ear and said gloomily, "But what it likes to eat the most is the demon beast's Neidan and the living soul." ”
Tang Zixi was not frightened by her words, but was frightened by her tone, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty: "It, it doesn't eat people, right?"
"Eat, but very little. Xiao Jiu seemed a little excited, and his lower body swayed happily, saying, "It told me that human meat is firewood and bitter, and it is not delicious. It is estimated that seeing Tang Zixi's ugly face, he paused and added, "I didn't say you, you are not human." ”
How many times has this been the first time I have heard others say that he is not a human being? Tang Zixi was instantly disinterested, and suddenly he didn't want to talk about this villain, so he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth in response.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu did not have the slightest consciousness of saying the wrong thing, and said with great interest: "When the nine infants' injuries are healed, they will be able to control these flames freely, and we will be able to go back when the time comes." When I get back, I'm going to look for ...... first."
Taking advantage of the villain's self-talk, Tang Zixi secretly took out the things he had grabbed on the third pillar before.
It was a finger-sized hedron that looked similar to the one on the silver spear before, except that this one was red and the one on the silver spear was silver. Moreover, this spar is not as dull as the silver spar, it looks brilliant, and you can even clearly feel the huge energy contained in it when you hold it in your hand.
Xiao Jiu didn't know when she came over, and when she saw the red spar in her hand, she immediately sighed, and said: "This thing is useless, ordinary weapons can't be used at all, and the weapons that can be used don't need this kind of primary fire crystal." Throw it away, I'll ask Jiuying to bring you some Fire Separation Essence when I go back, that's a good thing!"
Tang Zixi was a little reluctant to throw it, she was very sure that she felt the energy inside. Even if what the villain said was true, it was just the villain's opinion, and she didn't think she was blessed with the spirit of the fire. Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "No, I just think it's pretty good." In the future, it would be appropriate to find a craftsman to make a pendant or something. After speaking, he quietly put the fire crystal into his arms.
Xiao Jiu shook his head noncommittally and said, "That's up to you." ”
Tang Zixi thought about his current situation, but decided to continue to inquire and said, "You said before that this door will be opened once every hundred years?"
Xiao Jiu nodded and said, "One day is not much, one day is not much, today is just the hundredth hundred." After speaking, he scratched his head and muttered, "This time it seems to be two hours ahead of schedule." But it's also possible that I'm misremembering. ”
Tang Zixi was taken aback, and said in surprise: "It's so terrifying, why do you still hide in its body? If it was a little slower just now...... she couldn't imagine herself being swallowed by that kind of magma-like thing.
At this time, it was already far away from the sea of fire, and she could already see that the position that flew out before was very much like a giant mouth. According to this discovery, it is not difficult to speculate that they were in Jiuying's belly before, no wonder she is so hot, and the air is filled with a very strange smell.
Xiao Jiu shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care, and said, "If it weren't for hiding in its body, we would have been captured and refined by other monsters." Moreover, the innate true fire in its body and the spirit cultivation pool can make our cultivation speed several times faster. As long as the third sister controls her time well, there is actually no danger. Speaking of this, the little finger pointed to the sea of fire behind him, "When it turns light red, we can go back!"
Tang Zixi looked at Xiao Jiu, who was inexplicably excited at the beginning, and finally asked the question he wanted to know the most: "I...... What the hell are you? No, no, no, I mean what the hell are you...... Well...... Spirits?"
Unexpectedly, although Xiao Jiu was small, his mind was not stupid, and he immediately saw through her plan and grinned: "You want to know what you are, right?"
Tang Zixi laughed a little embarrassed and said, "If you can tell me together, it would be the best." ”
Xiao Jiu smiled and leaned back and said, "Actually, it's not a secret, even if I don't say it, you'll know it later." ”
"Please also ask Miss Xiaojiu to be honest and grateful. Tang Zixi's face was solemn, she couldn't wait that long, and she couldn't bear Li Sheng's verbosity, and she couldn't get around the point for half a day.
Xiao Jiu thought about it sideways, jumped off her shoulder, landed on her arm, hugged her arms and said, "I can tell you, but I have one condition!"
Tang Zixi was stunned, and secretly wondered in her heart, there is really no free lunch in the world, she has long felt strange, why did this villain come to her side alone, dare to have other plans. But at this point, she wouldn't back down so easily, and said, "What conditions?"
Xiao Jiu shook his bare head and said, "I want to borrow your eyes." ”
"What?"
This condition is really incredible, this obviously doesn't want to tell himself, Tang Zixi's face immediately sank.
Xiao Jiu hurriedly explained: "Don't be afraid, I mean, I like your eyes very much, and I want to have the same eyes as you when I cultivate the spirit body in the future." Seeing the strange expression on the other party's face, he realized that he had explained incorrectly, and hurriedly added, "Don't worry, when I cultivate the spirit body, I won't know that it is the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and I just borrowed your eye mold, not your eyes." ”
"That's right. Tang Zixi was silent, in case the other party really cultivated the spirit body in his lifetime, there was nothing to lose by simply borrowing it, and it was a good deed. And she also heard what Li Sheng said before, it is indeed not so easy for these villains to cultivate spirit bodies, and they may die before that day.
Thinking of this, she nodded slowly, "Okay! I promise you, if you cultivate a spirit body, you can come to me at any time." ”
"Great!" Xiao Jiu was so excited that he rose into the air, rolled in the air for a few times before hovering in front of Tang Zixi, and said, "Have you heard the legend of the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui?"
"A little bit of it. Tang Zixi nodded, sure enough, it was still related to Sui Houzhu.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu's words changed, and then asked, "What about the legend of half a Neidan?"
Tang Zixi was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Xiao Jiu smiled, and a blurred facial feature appeared on his face, which soon disappeared again.
"A thousand years ago, there were monsters everywhere here, and humans lived in only a small place, so it could be said that it was a world where monsters were rampant. Among these demon beasts, the most powerful is a demon fox that has been practicing for thousands of years, and it is one step away from the flying spirit realm. Originally, everything was fine, but I don't know why, a snake demon under the demon fox and a deer demon fought, and then more and more demon beasts were involved......
Listening to it, Tang Zixi suddenly remembered that dream again. The dream of her being on an ancient battlefield. The dream is full of fierce beasts fighting together, with amazing physique and peculiar appearance, which is very in line with the scene of the demon beast battle that the other party said.
"The demon fox was in retreat and cultivation during that time, preparing for the next Heavenly Tribulation, so he was ignorant of everything in the outside world. It wasn't until she came out of retreat hundreds of years later that she found that there were only a few little demons left in the entire demon beast country, and the slightly stronger demon beasts were nowhere to be found. ”
