Chapter 543: On Huaguo Mountain
After a short time, Qingxin left Nantianmen, with an inexplicable Nezha beside him.
The two of them headed towards the mortal world, but instead of heading westward where the monkey was, they flew all the way to the southeast.
"Where exactly do you want to go?"
Along the way, Nezha asked this more than once. However, Qingxin didn't answer a word, only looked down at the beads in his hand from time to time, as if thinking about something.
For hundreds of years, she has always followed her two masters, and has never even left the two of them a hundred feet away. Even if they sneak out a few times by chance, if something happens, they will show up immediately. Maybe it's Su Bodhi, maybe it's Taishang Laojun, sometimes it may be a fellow disciple and nephew who has reached a certain level of cultivation, in short, no matter when and where, there will always be one of them who is taking care of themselves.
In the past, she only felt that the master was very strict with herself and cared about herself, which is why she was so meticulous.
Of course, Qingxin also questioned the reason for this, after all, she did not have very good qualifications, except for the two masters, she did not have a very good background. How could a woman from an ordinary background be favored by two powerful people as soon as she was born, and be accepted as a disciple at the same time?
This is simply something that has never been done before, and almost every immortal who has just heard about it will feel incredible, and even raise some kind of questioning of Cheng Dù. However, this kind of question has never been answered, and even Qingxin himself can't figure out the reason.
After a long time, it becomes natural.
But just now, she suddenly realized a problem...... That is. This state of affairs. It seems to be changing.
Since when?
It seems to have started when Subodhi asked her to send something to Zhen Motoko.
Until just now. She suddenly found that no one was following her anymore, and even the doormen of the Three-Star Cave of the Leaning Moon or the Tushi Palace who were originally following her were gone.
He didn't deliberately avoid anyone, but they all walked away. This feeling is very different from usual. It was at this time that this wonderful bead appeared......
Faintly, she already knew who the person who gave her the bead was.
But why did he give himself this bead at this time? When he was thinking about what happened more than 600 years ago, when he felt that he had no way to start, he gave himself this bead that he did not know in such a way.
It was originally hazy. Things that can't be started suddenly become traceable.
Is this what it means to push yourself forward?
Could it be that at the end of this road, there are some things that you must know, and it is inconvenient for the two masters to sue themselves directly?
Qingxin couldn't figure it out, so she could only follow this path.
Faintly, she already clearly felt that her two masters were quietly guiding her towards a buried truth. It's a pity that when she realized it. The original feeling of curiosity and excitement was suddenly gone. The rest. It's just an indifference.
In a short time, the two traveled thousands of miles to Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Looking at the direction in which Qingxin was advancing, Nezha suddenly came to his senses, quickly paused his figure, and asked in horror, "Do you want to go to Huaguo Mountain?"
Qingxin also paused, looked back at Nezha lightly, and asked, "Isn't it okay?"
"Heavenly Court hasn't set foot in Huaguo Mountain for hundreds of years, it's a forbidden place. ”
"Who prescribed it?"
"This ......" Nezha scratched his head and frowned: "There are no specific regulations, but the demon clan regards it as a holy place, and setting foot on Huaguo Mountain without permission may cause unnecessary trouble." This is known to everyone in the Heavenly Court. ”
Qingxin raised his head and thought for a while, and said, "Have you been to Huaguo Mountain before?"
"Been there. ”
"Do you want to lead the troops, or do you want to go straight inside?"
"Tried both. ”
"Have you ever seen that monkey in Huaguo Mountain?"
"That's for sure, otherwise what am I going to do?"
"That's it, Li Jing didn't introduce the wrong person. ”
After that, Qingxin turned around and continued to move forward.
Seeing that Qingxin flew all the way to the southeast without the slightest intention of looking back, Nezha hesitated a little and had to follow.
Soon, the two landed on the periphery of Huaguo Mountain.
Standing on the cliff, Qingxin faced the wind, and looked at Yiqiē in front of him with some surprise.
The lifting of the rain ban has ushered in the long-lost nectar in this land, and it has also alleviated the originally raging yellow sand storm a lot. However, that doesn't make the land look any better.
The sand and dust that had been raging disappeared, and all the qiē hidden under the sand and dust were revealed, like a scar that had been covered for a long time.
The boundless, ruins buried by yellow sand and laterite, stone pillars and ruined walls, mountains that were smashed to pieces during the battle, fell into the ground and exposed a huge pumice stone above the surface......
The wounds inflicted on this land by the Great War 600 years ago are still not fully healed today.
"This is Huaguo Mountain?"
"Yes. ”
"It's not like its name. Qingxin sighed lightly.
"It wasn't like that before. Nezha said lightly: "In the earliest days, this was a mountain forest, with four seasons like spring, and groups of birds and beasts. Later, the demon clan rose here and turned it into a demon country. And then ...... After the war, the rain was forbidden in the heavenly court, and the monsters were scattered, and this place became like this. This rain ban has only just been lifted, and if it had been a year or two ago, I am afraid that there would not have been even a little green here. ”
Two birds chirped overhead.
Lowering his head, Qingxin noticed that in the cracks of the mountain rocks, a little bit of greenery was growing tenaciously, but the time was still short, and it was inconspicuous in this land full of the smell of death.
After a slight pause, Nezha continued: "There are still some monsters here, if you want to go in, our identity is not suitable." It's better to be a youkai. ”
said. Nezha looked back at Qingxin. only to find that she had risen into the air and fell down the cliff.
Nezha was taken aback, and hurriedly turned himself into a rat spirit and followed.
As soon as he fell to the ground, Nezha yelled at Qingxin eagerly: "You will really have an accident like this!"
"What will happen?" said Qingxin continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
Nezha felt that his scalp was a little numb.
What does this aunt want to do?
He couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't leave her alone, so he had to raise his vigilance and follow closely with the appearance of a rat spirit.
The wind blew slowly, making all sorts of strange noises as it walked through the ruins.
Two people in the ruins. One strolls leisurely, while the other looks around as if he has entered the enemy line.
Looking at Nezha's nervous appearance, he said leisurely: "Don't be too nervous, Heavenly Court didn't dare to set foot here in the past because of the situation at that time. Although the demon kings have all left here, and even often have infighting with each other, none of them have dared to declare their complete separation from Huaguo Mountain so far. Huaguo Mountain is a banner of the demon clan. In other words, if Heavenly Court doesn't set foot here, it actually doesn't want to give them an excuse to reunite. Now the monkey has returned. This kind of concern is meaningless. ”
"How do you know?
"I guess. Qingxin said with a smile.
"Guess...... Can this kind of thing be guessed?" Nezha couldn't help but puff out his cheeks. Just as he looked back and was about to glare at Qingxin, he suddenly found that she was looking intently at the beads in her hand.
Slowing down slightly, Nezha fell behind Qingxin, carefully peeking at the beads in Qingxin's hand.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
From that bead, Nezha saw the bustling streets of Huaguo Mountain in the past, and saw an endless stream of demons.
"What is this?"
"A mirror to see the past. Qingxin said: "It seems that the scale of Huaguo Mountain was really extraordinary. It's no wonder that the Heavenly Court at that time was forced to shrink in the South Heavenly Gate, and there was no way to take Huaguo Mountain at all. Didn't you say you've been here, where did you see the monkey?"
Nezha frowned and thought for a while, then pointed to the main peak of Huaguo Mountain not far away and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to find other places now, but there is one place that should be right, that mountain." The first time I saw him was in a log cabin on the top of that mountain. ”
Qingxin nodded, took off into the air and flew towards the main peak of Huaguo Mountain. In the process, she turned around again and took advantage of the limited time to carefully look at the Huaguo Mountain more than 600 years ago with the beads in her hand.
Standing on the ground and looking at this monster city-state more than 600 years ago with beads, the first thing she felt was her own insignificance, and when she looked down on the panoramic view of Huaguoshan City-state from the air through the beads, what she felt was shock.
The city-state that stretches for hundreds of miles, the pumice stones that cover the sky and the sun, the splendid palaces, the huge fleets that are constantly going back and forth, and the ships and cannons are strong. That scale, even if it is several times stronger than the current Heavenly Court.
When he saw this scene, Qingxin was stunned.
She couldn't believe her eyes.
I once heard Yu Yi and Yuxuan mention that Huaguo Mountain created an extremely strong and rich demon civilization in the era of Monkey King, and even the firearms used in war were first made by the monsters of Huaguo Mountain. In that short period of 100 years, the civilization of Zào, the heyday of Huaguo Mountain, among the Three Realms, there is no force that can be compared. But at the time, she just laughed at it.
Today's demon clan lives like a beast, living a life of wool and blood. If the demon clan can live a civilized life, why not now?
However, she was wrong. The demon clan can really be extremely civilized, and the qiē seen through the beads is proof of this.
Not only do they know how to destroy, but as long as conditions permit, they can also create a civilization, even more brilliant than what humans have created.
However, if they were able to create a powerful civilization more than 600 years ago, why did it become what it is today?
For this, Qingxin really can't figure it out.
Slowly, the two of them fell on the main peak of Huaguo Mountain.
After taking the beads and looking around, Qingxin asked, "When did you meet him here?"
"I can't remember, maybe 700 years ago. ......I can't remember the exact time."
As he spoke, Nezha suddenly saw that not far in front of them, a brown-haired monkey demon was watching them vigilantly, his hand had been pressed to the hilt of the knife at his waist, and the fluff all over his body stood up.
For a while, Nezha and Qingxin both stopped moving, and stared at the monkey demon with wide eyes and wariness.
After a long time, the brown-haired monkey demon took a step back, slowly grinned and bared its fangs, and roared, "Who are you? What are you doing in Huaguo Mountain?"
"Refining God Realm?" Qingxin slowly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and took a step forward.
The brown-haired monkey demon was startled, and hurriedly took a step back.
"Who are you? What are you doing in Huaguo Mountain? Don't say anything, I'm going to do it!"
As he spoke, the monkey demon was about to draw his sword.
But before he could completely pull out the knife at his waist, Qingxin had already stretched out five fingers towards him, and the five rings on the fingertips echoed each other, exuding a soft light.
The demon monkey's eyes widened in horror as if he were frozen.
He suddenly realized that he couldn't move. Up and down his body, as if he was being restrained by countless hands, he could only maintain his original movements motionless. Even his mouth was gagged and he couldn't make a sound.
The knife slowly unsheathed.
"I'm worried that I don't have a guide, if you're a monster born and raised in Huaguo Mountain, that's fine. "Qingxin said. (To be continued......)
