Chapter 226: Grounding
The next day, a white-haired spirit officer rushed to Kunlun Mountain and found the spirit dragon who was guarding the sacred tree.
"Huh, isn't this the emperor's father's internal servant Tiannu? Why is he here?" Linglong felt that something was unusual, so he immediately got up and stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Which gust of wind blew the old official here?"
"I have seen Your Highness, the little god is here today by order. Tiannu was dressed in a plain official uniform, with crane hair and a childish face, first worshiped the spirit dragon, and then held the holy decree in his hand, and preached: "Your Majesty has a decree, please ask Your Highness to hand over the artifact Kunlun Mirror, and the little god will bring it back to Heaven to restore his life." ”
"Kunlun Mirror, what does the emperor want Kunlun Mirror for?" Linglong asked.
"Your Majesty only said that the old minister would take it back, but did not say what it would do. Tiannu smiled and shook his head, his smile as kind and peaceful as ever.
Although I don't know the reason, how can the holy decree be disobeyed? The spirit dragon immediately put his hand into his chest, and a golden light appeared, and the Kunlun mirror was taken out and handed to Tiannu's hand. "The Kunlun mirror is here, please put it away from the old official. Tiannu carefully put away the artifact, wrapped it in a yellow scarf, arched his hand towards the spirit dragon, and said: "With His Royal Highness Lao guarding here, the little god will go back to restore his life." Then he brushed his sleeves and left.
Linglong scratched his nose and thought secretly: "This Tiannu is the emperor's father's confidant Lingguan, who serves the emperor's father's diet and daily life on weekdays, and easily does not go out of Nantianmen. The emperor's father asked him to announce the decree in person, which shows that this matter is quite important. The emperor wants the Kunlun mirror, I don't know what I want to know......
When Tiannu returned to Heaven, he trotted all the way to the Phixiang Hall to reply to the Emperor of Heaven. Yin Bailong was waiting in the hall, and then retreated from the maid, leaving only Tiannu alone.
"Your Majesty, the Kunlun Mirror is here. Tiannu took out the Kunlun mirror wrapped in yellow cloth and offered it with both hands.
These nine ancient artifacts were given to the spirit dragon by the Emperor of Heaven, and he was naturally familiar with the method of control, only to see Yin Bailong pointing his hand, and the Kunlun Mirror flew up and fell in front of the Emperor of Heaven.
"Do you need the old slave to avoid it?" asked Tiannu cautiously.
Yin Bailong shook his head and said, "No need. You've been with me for almost two hundred years, and I have absolute trust in you. This is my family matter, and I need you to help me come up with ideas. ”
"I don't know what Your Majesty means by family affairs......" Tiannu asked by bowing down.
Yin Bailong frowned slightly, a rare look of resentment appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "More than a hundred years ago, the Holy King descended on Hongmeng, the catastrophe of the Six Realms, and the Demon Venerable took advantage of the chaos to act for the tiger, and attached a secret method to my body, doing evil. For a while, my memories were almost completely lost, with only bits and pieces of vague fragments flashing through my mind from time to time. Among these memory fragments, there was a moment that made me unspeakable......" Yin Bailong paused, as if struggling inwardly, and then said: "After the Demon Venerable possessed him, he used my physical body to intersect with Lingxi...... Soon after, Lingxi became pregnant......"
It turned out that it was not only Lingxi who had recovered some of his memory, but also Yin Bailong. This time seems to have become a nightmare shared by the two of them, lingering. And the two of them never mentioned this matter as if they had a soul in their hearts, but this mustard in their hearts has always existed, and today, due to the strangeness of the spirit dragon, Yin Bailong can no longer avoid this matter, and he wants to know the truth immediately.
How smart the Heavenly Slave was, he immediately understood the Heavenly Emperor's worries, and immediately opened his mouth and whispered, "Your Majesty is worried...... Is Your Highness Linglong your own blood and bones? The old slave feels that Your Majesty is too worried, His Highness has been normal since he was born, and he doesn't have the slightest demonic nature, how can it be related to the Demon Venerable?"
Yin Bailong shook his head, "You haven't seen the cunning and methods of the Demon Venerable. The so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, he can occupy my body before he dies, who can guarantee that he will not inject the demon yuan into the womb? The day before yesterday, when Long'er was facing the threat of death, he suddenly burst out with a strange blue light, could it be that the hidden demon yuan has awakened? So I must find an answer today. Yin Bailong said the doubts that he had been pressing in his heart for many years, and he could not vomit or be unhappy, and then he used his five fingers to urge the Kunlun Mirror with divine power.
"Is Long'er my blood or the evil seed of the Demon Venerable? Let me see what happened in Kunlun Mountain the day before yesterday......"
Ripples began to appear on the surface of the Kunlun Mirror, which was as quiet as a lake, and then a picture emerged, which was the scene of the sudden appearance of the 'evil eye' in the spirit dragon's life that day. Even if it was just a momentary illusion, Yin Bailong could still feel the power of this evil eye, and involuntarily opened his mouth to let out an 'ah'. The changes in the Kunlun mirror are not over, and then, the picture in the mirror becomes a blood red, as if shrouded in a thick blood mist, and the outline of a baby vaguely appears in the blood mist. It only flashed for a moment and then vanished.
Yin Bailong was about to speak, when suddenly a low and cold voice came from the mirror, as if thousands of sharp blades pierced his three souls and seven spirits!, "Just a rat, dare to spy on me?"
This sentence alone made Yin Bailong fall into the ice cellar, took two steps back, and sat on the dragon chair, gasping violently.
"Oh, Your Majesty, look at this Kunlun Mirror!" Tiannu suddenly cried out.
Yin Bailong fixed his eyes and saw that the Kunlun Mirror had shattered into tens of thousands of fragments, turning into nothing......
After a long time, Yin Bailong calmed down and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. The Supreme is the Supreme after all, and even if his heart fluctuates, he will regain his peace in a moment. Looking at the black shadow that flashed in the mirror, it seemed to be someone's cultivation primordial infant. How terrible is it that an artifact can be destroyed by a sound it makes? Even the uncle (Yin Jiao) does not have this kind of cultivation...... This is definitely not the Demon Venerable!' Yin Bailong's mood was even more depressed and heavy at the moment, although he ruled out the possibility that the Spirit Dragon was the son of the Demon Venerable, but he learned that there was an even more terrifying 'thing' lurking in the Spirit Dragon's body, which was a hundred times more tricky than the Demon Venerable.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?" Tiannu seemed to be in a daze when he saw the Emperor of Heaven on the side, and only dared to speak for a long time. "Your Majesty, this ancient artifact is a good ...... How could it be ruined all of a sudden?"
Yin Bailong pondered for a moment and ordered, "You have to keep your mouth shut about today's affairs. Now you take my Tiger Talisman and go to the Tianhe Water Army Camp to order Marshal Tianyong Xingguan to go to the Shenji Camp immediately and take over the Shenji Camp instead of Long'er. In addition, tomorrow, you will go to Kunlun Mountain again to announce the decree, order the spirit dragon to return to heaven, and wait for me in Tongming Hall at noon. ”
Tiannu pondered: 'Take over the Divine Machine Camp...... His Majesty made such a big move, it seems that he wanted to ...... His Highness and hurriedly promised: "The old slave obeys the order." ”
On the second day, Tiannu really came to Kunlun Mountain again, took out the holy decree Xuanling Dragon and returned to Heaven, still with a peaceful face. The spirit dragon did not have any suspicions, so he prepared to follow Tiannu back to the heavenly court, and the 'Mo Jun' behind him also followed the spirit dragon inch by inch.
"Your Highness, wait. Tiannu looked at the three-foot-tall giant with a bronze mask behind him and asked, "Who is this person?"
"His name is Mo Jun, and he is a member of my Shenji Battalion. ”
"Oh. However, His Majesty has a decree, only one person is announced, and others are not allowed to follow. ”
"I almost forgot. Linglong turned around and raised his head and instructed Mo Jun, "You are here to guard the Divine Tree, don't follow." Mo Jun seemed to understand, and sure enough, he didn't follow anymore.
"Old official, let's go. Linglong stretched out his hand to Tiannu, and the two of them drove the clouds in the direction of Nantianmen. Linglong didn't know at the moment that what was waiting for him would be an unprecedented crisis......
Noon, Tongming Hall
The spirit dragon arrived on time, but saw that the Heavenly Emperor and Tiannu were already waiting in the hall.
"Emperor's father, the child is back!" Linglong walked two steps quickly, walked forward and knelt down to worship the Emperor, but found that behind the pillars on the main hall stood black and pressed Heavenly Generals, all holding swords and serious faces;
"What's wrong with Emperor Father...... Linglong was shocked in his heart, he had never seen this appearance of Emperor Father since he was a child.
Yin Bailong slowly spoke: "Long'er, you disappointed me!"
Linglong knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, so he only arched his hand and said, "Why did the emperor say this? ”
Tiannu said faintly on the side: "Your Highness, you have committed the crime of deceiving the king! That Mo Jun is not from the Shenji Battalion, right? You actually left him by your side for such a dangerous person, and you did not report to Your Majesty what happened that day, if someone hadn't told you, Your Majesty would still be in the dark." ”
'Damn!' Linglong suddenly clenched his fists and scolded in his heart: "It must be the two of them!" The two guys in his mouth were undoubtedly referring to Lu Bu and Ma Chao, and only the two of them were present that day.
"Long'er, are you guilty?" Yin Bailong's tone was unprecedentedly stern.
Linglong knew that he was wrong, and knelt on the ground and replied: "The child is guilty, the situation that day is difficult to explain, please punish the emperor." ”
Yin Bailong's eyes were like ice, and he said lightly: "Since you have violated the Heavenly Rules, you are no longer qualified to command the Divine Machine Battalion, let alone be in charge of the ancient artifacts, so hand over the rest of the artifacts that your father gave you." ”
Linglong's heart trembled, he couldn't believe it, and thought to himself: "I just made a small mistake, the emperor father actually wants to take back the ancient artifact? How does this make the spirit dragon with strong self-esteem accept?
But a holy decree is a holy decree and cannot be disobeyed. The spirit dragon gritted his teeth and gurgled, and reluctantly summoned the six major artifacts on his body (the Four Swords of Killing and Trapping, Fu Xiqin, the Sun Golden Wheel, the Moon Golden Wheel, and the Haotian Tower was left in Kunlun Mountain to suppress the Divine Tree) and placed them in front of him one by one.
Yin Bailong saw that the spirit dragon handed over the artifact, and then sucked the six major artifacts with five fingers. The artifact has long been recognized by the blood of the spirit dragon, but the Heavenly Emperor and the spiritual dragon are of the same bloodline, and Yin Bailong is the previous master of the ancient artifact, so the artifact does not resist and is smoothly integrated into the body of the Heavenly Emperor.
After receiving the artifact in the spirit dragon's hand, Yin Bailong was a little relieved, and his tone softened a little, "Long'er, for my father, why did that strange man show mercy to your subordinates that day? Do you know where that strange man is?" Yin Bailong naturally knew that the strange man was the ancient guard, so he asked this question on purpose to test the spirit dragon.
Linglong was sullen, silent for a few seconds, and replied with his head down: "The child doesn't know the reason, that strange man can't speak, and he shouldn't look like a creature in this Hongmeng." ”
"Then what was wrong with your body that day?" Yin Bailong asked.
Linglong thought back and replied, "I was injured by a strange person that day, and I was in a coma for a while, not knowing what happened. Everything else is unusual. ”
Yin Bailong was silent for a moment, thinking: "It seems that Long Er is not lying, he himself does not know the abnormality of his body. Let's base him in Shaoyang Palace first, and I'll go to Bajing Palace to meet the Taiqing Sage later and see how to solve this matter......
"Long'er, I will now punish you to go back to Shaoyang Palace to face the wall, and you are not allowed to come out without my permission. "Yin Bailong announced his decision, and then motioned to the gods in the hall to 'accompany' Linglong to Shaoyang Palace to think about it.
Behind the pillar flashed two gods, more than a foot tall, both of them were tigers with bears, leopard eyes and beards, and their faces were full of anger, one carrying a beast head hammer on his back, and the other had two huge halberds hanging from his waist. These two people, one is called 'Heavenly Idiot Star' Xu Chu, and the other is called 'Heavenly Injury Star' Dian Wei, both of whom are one of the thirty-six Tiangang Stars of the Doubu. These two people used to be the leading generals of the Nether Wei State, both of them died loyally protecting the lord, loyally inspiring the sun and the moon, and after their deaths, they were enshrined in the god list, and at this time they were the generals in front of the palace.
Being sandwiched by two big men, when did the son of the dignified Heavenly Emperor receive such treatment? Although Linglong was angry in his heart, he couldn't vent it, so he had to swallow his breath and leave angrily.
Waiting for the spirit dragon to leave, Tiannu asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what to do with that strange person in Kunlun Mountain?"
Yin Bailong knew that the ancient guards were powerful, and they must not easily provoke this 'evil star', so he immediately said: "Send someone to monitor it from afar, don't startle the snake." If there is any change, come back immediately and report it. ”
