"What did you say? Mo Tianya was not brought back?" Xiao Xiangzi asked Venerable Xiaoyao angrily.

"Lord Xiaomeng, this is the case...... Venerable Xiaoyao hurriedly explained.

"You don't have to explain to me, a failure is a failure, where are there so many excuses. Xiao Xiangzi didn't give him a chance to explain, Xiao Xiangzi knew that this bat was invulnerable, except for the bronze cross sword that specializes in dealing with monsters in the world, only those four swords could hurt him, but Gong Xingwen, who was holding the Tianya Sword at that time, was already seriously injured, and the owners of the other three swords were not there, so I really don't know why the Xiaoyao Venerable returned empty-handed?

As a demon beast guarding the gate of heaven, when has the Xiaoyao Venerable been reprimanded by human beings, if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Xiangzi brought him back to break the seal and let him regain his freedom, how could a small martial arts alliance leader dare to be so presumptuous?

"Don't forget, Lord Xiao, I'm not one of your dogs!"

Xiao Xiangzi flicked his sleeves.

"Of course you're not a dog, you're a bat, but in my eyes, you're not even as good as a dog!"

"Don't be too ignorant, if you provoke me, I'll suck your blood dry, and eat you without even bones, even if your martial arts are above me, you can't help me. ”

"Oh, yes? Now it seems that you are really not as good as a dog, at least dogs don't bite their owners!"

"Huh......" Venerable Xiaoyao spread his wings and rushed straight forward. Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly lifted the object in his hand in front of him, and the Xiaoyao Venerable immediately hugged his head and ran away, very embarrassed.

"How do you have a bronze crosssword?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Xiangzi walked over and poked his cross sword at the body of the Xiaoyao Venerable, only to see his wings wrapped forward, wrapping his body tightly. As soon as the bronze cross sword touched his wings, a ball of fire appeared out of nowhere, quickly enveloping the whole body of the Easy Venerable.

"Ah, Lord Xiaomeng, spare my life!I will never dare to go against your will again!" Venerable Xiaoyao pleaded.

Xiao Xiangzi said: "Miss your first offense, this time I will spare you, if there is a next time, I will insert this bronze cross sword on your Tanzhong acupoint, within three hours, you will be wiped out, and you will never be able to turn over!"

Xiao Xiangzi tucked the bronze cross sword into his cuffs, and the firelight that shrouded Venerable Xiaoyao disappeared instantly. He crawled towards Xiao Xiangzi in embarrassment, his whole body was still smoking, and a burning smell rushed into his nose, which was not much different from a fish burnt.

"Get out!" Xiao Xiangzi issued an order.

Venerable Xiaoyao walked towards the door without stopping, his center of gravity was unstable, he tripped over the threshold, and he really rolled out. Xiao Xiangzi saw this funny scene and laughed.

At this time, Xiaochen walked in with his nose covered.

"Father, who is this Venerable Carefree, and why did he do this?"

"You'd better stay away from him in the future. ”

"Why?"

"Because he's not human!"

Xiaochen was shocked, and then thought that Xiao Xiangzi was scolding, and echoed: "Of course he is not a human, just a chess piece in our hands." He laughed a few times to match the atmosphere.

Xiao Xiangzi looked at the laughing Xiaochen with a serious face, the scene was embarrassing, Xiaochen also noticed his father's strange eyes, knew that he had said the wrong thing, and the laughter gradually decreased, and finally disappeared completely.

Xiao Xiangzi continued: "Not only you, but everyone else should avoid it when they see Venerable Xiaoyao. ”

The more Xiao Xiangzi didn't explain the reason, the more curious Xiao Chen became.

"The child dared to ask his father why?"

Xiao Xiangzi knows Xiao Chen's character, as long as he is interested in one thing, he will definitely break the casserole and ask to the end, since he can't hide it, it doesn't hurt to say it. Xiaochen knew that his father was cautious and was weighing the pros and cons, and he closed the door tightly.

Xiao Xiangzi said: "According to the rumors of the rivers and lakes, Zhuge Kongming's longevity was about to end, but Shu Han had not yet unified the world, Zhuge Kongming in order to prolong his life for 20 years, he lit the seven-star life-sustaining lamp in the camp tent, but Wei Yan broke into the camp tent and kicked over the main lamp of the seven-star lamp, Zhuge Kongming's life extension failed, and a few days later, he was sick and ......

The more Xiaochen listened, the more confused he became.

"But what does this have to do with that Carefree Venerable?"

"This Xiaoyao Venerable was originally an ordinary bat in Wuzhangyuan, that day Wei Yan kicked over the seven-star main lamp, the lamp oil splashed on the ground, this Xiaoyao Venerable is to drink the lamp oil of the main lamp and turn into a human form, from then on immortal, listen to Zhuge Liang's will to guard the eight formations of the formation, as soon as there is a chance to assist the royal family surnamed Liu among the destined people to peek through the way of heaven and unify Kyushu. ”

Xiaochen said: "This is nothing more than a story made up by some storytellers, does my father also believe that it is true?"

Xiao Xiangzi said: "Actually, it is not, Zhuge Liang's previous life was an important minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, less than a hundred years after his feathering, there were eunuchs in power first, and then there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the heroes of the world rose together, Zhuge Liang couldn't bear to see the fall of the Han Dynasty, and he went to the mortal world for fifty-seven days in private, one day in the sky, and one year in the world. Fifty-seven years of Yang's life ended, when the world was divided into three parts, the Eastern Wu was not destroyed, and the Northern Expedition was not completed. Knowing that the will of heaven cannot be violated, and the great cause of reunification cannot be completed in his own hands, he left five eight array ruins in the world, and carved the inscription on the mountain behind Wudang. ”

Xiaochen suddenly realized, but he didn't understand why there were only three ruins of the Eight Array Diagram in the world.

Xiao Xiangzi saw Xiao Chen's doubts and continued: "The first place recorded by the world as the site of the Eight Array Diagram is the "Water Classic: Water Notes" and the "Hanzhong Mansion Chronicles" recorded in the east of Zhuge Liang's tomb in the southeast of Shaanxi Province, the second is the "Huanyu Ji" recorded in the Nanjiang River in Kuizhou, Sichuan, and the third place is the "Ming Yi Tongzhi" recorded in Mumi Town, thirty miles north of Xindu County, Sichuan. It's a pity that these three recorded places have been destroyed. ”

"Why?"

"Everything in the world has cause and effect, everything has reincarnation, and there is life only when there is death. As small as a flower and a grass, as large as a state and a country, since there is a day of establishment, there should be a day of extinction. As a celestial, Zhuge Liang is too obsessed with the mortal world and wants to go against the sky. But if this example is opened, the laws that all things in heaven and earth should follow are broken, and then it will evolve into a catastrophe for both the heavens and the earth. Therefore, how could the rest of the heavenly realm sit idly by, and thus destroy the three places that have been recorded in the world. ”

"I see, Zhuge Liang left five places in order to leave a glimmer of hope, and deliberately let people discover three places in order to hide people's eyes, and the child really admires his wisdom. ”

"As a father, why not, these two places were told to you before you went to Tangmen, one is on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and the other is at the bottom of the Yangtze River. ”

"In that case, the child did not understand why it was of any use to keep this bat, and that it would not be better to kill such a dangerous man than soon as possible, so as not to be on guard against him all the time. ”

"No, if I wanted his life, I wouldn't have brought him back in Kunlun Mountain, when he was in a wooden box, I brought that box back and kept it in the secret room for more than 20 years. ”

Xiaochen didn't understand why his father brought it up.

"Chen'er, do you remember that Huang Zhenhong and Han Ruizhuo stole the Tianya Sword, the Boundless Sword, and the Soul Chasing Sword in the secret room a few months ago?"

Xiaochen nodded to indicate that he remembered.

"Do you think they really found the entrance to the secret room so easily? That was done on purpose, from the moment Huang Zhenhong stepped into the Central Plains, I knew that the opportunity had come, Huang Zhenhong was the princess of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and she must have known the way to break the seal of the Xiaoyao Venerable, and sure enough, they released the Xiaoyao Venerable. Now that he is in control of the Venerable Joy, the day of the shattered void is just around the corner. ”

"But this also makes the Cold Moon Palace collect four swords, and the child thinks that the gains outweigh the losses!"

"Hahaha, so Chen'er is still a young man, which is why I have always kept the thousand-faced scholar Qing Huaen. ”

"How?"

"Because the ruins of the Eight Array Diagram can only be found by using the method of searching for dragons and exploring caves, Qing Huaen is proficient in Yili, this method of searching for dragons and exploring caves is so profound for ordinary people, but for scholars with thousands of faces, it is just a piece of cake. ”

"The child doesn't understand it even more, since he controls the Xiaoyao Venerable, and the Xiaoyao Venerable was ordered by Zhuge Liang to guard the ruins of the Eight Formations, so he must know the specific direction, just let him lead the way, why bother to get a way to find the dragon and explore the cave?"

"Originally, I had the same idea as you, I had already inquired with Venerable Xiaoyao, before the destruction of the Shu Han Dynasty, these two ruins of the Eight Array Diagram had indeed not moved, but a thousand years ago, when Cao Wei's general Deng Ai attacked Chengdu, Zhuge Liang, who was far away in the heavenly realm, knew that he was unable to return to the sky, so he intertwined the ruins of the Eight Array Diagram and the lifeline of the Venerable Xiaoyao with the fate of the Shu Kingdom. When Liu Chan, the queen of Shu Han, opened the city gate and surrendered, he swore that Shu Han was destroyed, which touched the fate, and the eight arrays had no need to exist in the world, but Zhuge Liang, who had violated the rules of heaven, was imprisoned at that time and could not destroy this formation, so the ruins of Kunlun Mountain moved to the top of the mountain, and the ruins of the Yangtze River sank to the bottom of the river. The eight formations on the eight formations of life, rest, scenery, death, injury, Du, surprise, and opening the eight doors change all the time with the change of the sun, moon and stars, and there have been thousands of years of cause and effect, except for the method of finding the dragon and exploring the cave, it is impossible to find their specific location. This is also the reason why the Cold Moon Palace has collected the four swords of Tianya, Wuya, Soul Chasing, and Cangyue, and I am not afraid of them taking the lead at all, because it is impossible for them to find the real ruins of the Eight Array Diagrams. ”

"The father has a far-sighted plan and a great talent, and the child will not be able to achieve such a plan even if he lives for another hundred years. ”

"Hahaha, if you can't reach it in a hundred years, then two hundred years, if you can't reach it in two hundred years, then it will be a thousand years, after opening the gate of heaven, you and my father and son can also live forever like the Venerable Xiaoyao, and I believe that in the endless years, one day you will surpass me." ”

Xiaochen wanted to say something, but suddenly saw Xiao Xiangzi put his index finger up against his mouth, Xiaochen understood that someone was coming, and stopped talking.

Song Yuanjian approached the door and said to himself, "What's the matter today? "I smelled the smell of burnt meat that Venerable Xiaoyao had just left behind, and I was excited, thinking that someone was roasting meat behind closed doors.

"Which turtle son doesn't call Lao Tzu when he eats meat?" he shouted and pushed the door open.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and I saw Xiao Xiangzi and Xiao Chen glaring angrily.
