Zhong Sui woke up in the darkness. He felt something covered his face, which cut off his Dao Seed's perception of the surrounding world.
He moved his body, his hands and feet were very stiff, although his movements were not flexible, but there was no pain at all. He rose from the ground, heard the sound of the chains, and felt the icy bondage on his joints. He is still alive... It seems to be reasonable not to kill the descendant, but seeing Guidao running away, Mo Dao probably still has some ideas about the life of the descendant.
Footsteps approached.
"The Holy Master has summoned you, please follow me." It was a very clear female voice, with the sharpness of a sword.
Zhong Sui opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound at all.
"Fellow daoist, follow me." The woman seemed to know that he couldn't see, so she stretched out her hand to grab his chain and led him out of the cage. She smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Let the Holy Master take off the mask for you. In fact, it is not a bad thing. Although it cuts off the Dao seed, it can also receive the protection of the Holy Lord, so that fellow Taoists will not be doomed by this evil place." hurt."
The place where he was held seemed very dangerous, and Zhong Sui could always hear all kinds of shrill shouts and chewing sounds. But it was very quiet around the woman, and no living thing could get close to her. It stands to reason that she should have a very powerful demonic aura, but Zhong Sui couldn't see it anyway. He thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that his Dao Seed had been isolated by the mask on his face, so he couldn't feel anything except a slight sense of oppression.
Zhong Sui wanted to ask about the current situation, but his voice seemed to be swallowed by something and couldn't get out.
The woman saw his intentions, so she advised: "Fellow Taoist, if you have anything to do, you should take it easy and wait until you get to the temple and see the Holy Master."
He didn't know how long he had followed this man, but there was a sound of water flowing around him, and he heard the woman next to him say loudly: "Zhong Sui has been brought here."
It was a man who answered, his voice was kind and soft: "No time, you go down first."
Then the covering on Zhong Sui's face was removed, and he saw the whole picture of Huangquan Temple.
At this time, the Temple of the Underworld was brightly lit, and countless silent black-robed demon cultivators stood on both sides of the front seat. Among them, the demon cultivator robes on the left had white flowing cloud patterns on the bottom, while the demon cultivator robes on the right had red flowing fire on the bottom. Ornamentation. Their faces are all covered by black ghost masks, the entire mask is closed and without holes, and the brand of Huang Quan is tattooed on their foreheads.
Since the arrival of the Holy Lord of Huangquan and the exit of the sage of the demonic way, the realm of no delusion has been governed by the envoys of Wangchuan and Jichuan. in the temple. The messengers of Wangchuan and Jichuan are the end of Huangquan's own perception. They cannot speak or see or hear, but they can calmly accept Huangquan's instructions.
The power originally divided among the Nine Sects was concentrated in the hands of Huang Quan alone through Wang Chuan and Ji Chuan envoys, and the entire Wuhuang Demon Realm returned to the state of Huang Quan's dominance a hundred thousand years ago.
The reclining young woman on the front seat should be Huang Quan, because she doesn't look like the current race at first glance. She has black horns on her forehead, her wings are folded behind her back, and her red eyes look extremely aggressive. She was completely naked, except that her beautiful body was slightly covered by her long black hair like a mist. Zhong Sui just took a look and quickly lowered her head.
"Humanity is about to perish." This was the first sentence Huang Quan said to Zhong Sui.
Zhong Sui stood there calmly, as steady as a rock, without saying a word.
Huang Quan looked a little nonchalant, but actually carefully sized up the head of the Heavenly Temple. If nothing unexpected, he should inherit the orthodoxy after the fall of the Human Saint. But now this time is different from the past, Shinto will not allow new saints to ascend to the throne, so even if Zhong Sui becomes the leader of humanity, it is impossible to pick the fruit of Taoism and become a saint.
This kid definitely understands this, but his composure is rare.
Huang Quan looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said, "Why don't you make a sound, are you dumb?"
The demon sage was standing next to her at the moment, he squinted at Huang Quan's sitting posture, and then heard her arrogant tone, and suddenly felt that the road to be free from demons might be difficult in the future. Zhong Sui, who was standing in the center of the main hall, was also a little stunned, after all, few ascetics he had contacted spoke so aggressively.
He bit the bullet and said, "The junior has nothing to say."
Huang Quan let out a "tss", sat up straight a little bored, the sage of the demonic way coughed, and then Zhong Sui lowered his head that had just been raised. Until now, Zhong Sui hadn't figured out why Mo Dao didn't wear clothes on such a formal occasion... probably because he ignored his appearance.
"That's right, what's the use of telling you." Huang Quan smiled self-deprecatingly, and suddenly said, "I will let you go back to the Temple of Heaven, but what happens after that is up to you."
Zhong Sui didn't understand what Huang Quan meant by arresting and releasing him, but he still politely replied, "Thank you, senior."
"Why are you like a piece of wood?" Huang Quan looked at him with some annoyance, but Zhong Sui didn't respond at all, she shook her head and said, "I just want to mention one thing, there are bad things mixed into the Temple of Heaven, after you go back be careful."
Zhong Sui frowned slightly, looking a bit puzzled: "What do you mean, senior?"
Originally, the relationship between the orthodoxy of the demonic way and the humane way was not much better. As the leader of the demonic way, the Holy Lord of Huangquan would not be idle to mention him. too likely.
Huang Quan didn't make fun of him this time, she seemed quite serious: "Did you mention Yun Qing in your files?"
Zhong Sui recalled it carefully, and his brows did not relax: "I have never seen it before, but the archives of Yantian Palace are as vast as smoke, and it is impossible for this junior to read every one carefully, so it is hard to say whether I have mentioned it..."
He spoke rigorously, but Huang Quan didn't have the patience to listen: "To put it bluntly, I just don't know, right?"
Zhong Sui was dumb, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Yes."
Huang Quan beckoned to him, Zhong Sui stood up helplessly, and she whispered: "Then I'll tell you now, this guy had cheated the Temple of Huang Quan before, and became a direct disciple of the Wudao Demon Realm... In name."
Zhong Sui felt a little unbelievable, so the Huang Quan in front of him is not the same person as the one in the Wudao Demon Realm before. He frowned more and more, and asked suspiciously: "Senior, did you mean that she might have sneaked into Lutian Temple now?"
Huang Quan also seemed to have some doubts. She glanced at the Demon Saint, but the other party just shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "I completely lost track of her."
Huang Quan pondered for a while, and said to Zhong Sui: "It's not that she sneaked into the Temple of Heaven, but we guess that there is a part of her in every orthodoxy now. This time the humanitarian situation is in danger, she is likely to wait for the opportunity to enter, and than Instead of letting her seize the Humane Dao Lineage, I am more inclined to let you go back."
"...every orthodoxy has a part of her?" Zhong Sui felt that he knew every word, but he didn't know what it meant when they were put together.
"After Yun Qing sneaked into the magic way, she tried all kinds of troubles, trying to bring the Lord of Huangquan back to life..." Huang Quan's expression was a little gloomy. Zhong Sui saw her long hair wrapped around her pale ankle like a snake, and he asked a little puzzled, "Why?"
The sage of the magic way finally spoke: "She wants to cut down the underworld, and then gain the most powerful power in the orthodox magic way."
Zhong Sui heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that it was not easy to communicate with this Huangquan, so he bowed his hands to the sage of the demonic way: "Excuse me for my stupidity, why can she gain the power of Huangquan by cutting down Huangquan?"
The demon saint looked a little unpredictable, and he asked back: "What do you think can gain the power of the other party after killing the other party?"
Zhong Sui's heart shuddered, this description really resembled it...
Return to heaven!
When he spoke again, his throat felt a little dry: "Isn't it? The way of heaven has no form or form..."
Huang Quan burst out laughing, she sat up straight quickly, then suppressed her smile and glared at the Demonic Sage: "What are you misleading?"
The demon saint looked at Zhong Sui, and said calmly: "The way of heaven is one, and Dao chess is the second. Huang Quan is already an outsider, and he is on the same level as the way of heaven, so he does not appear on the way of Dao chess. And Yun Qing wants to Using Huangquan as a son to fill in the gaps in Daoqi, so I tried to kill Huangquan and put this power into the game again. The more Taoism that died at the hands of this person, the greater the power she accumulated for Daoqi."
Zhong Sui has been a little puzzled since the very beginning, and the more he listens, the more puzzled he becomes. He asked, "But receiving and guiding Tiangong is just for Dao chess. Isn't it what all Dao want to do by using Dao chess to control the way of heaven and break the fate?" ? Why not let her repair the defect of Dao Chess?"
Huang Quan propped his head with one hand, and mocked: "Naive. Dao chess has to be played by someone else. Do you think that if things are repaired, the world of cultivation will really have a good end? What if the person who insists directly chooses to destroy all Dao? Complete The Dao Chess does have such power, and seeing Yun Qing's strategizing for so many years, she probably wants to use the great merit and great cause and effect of repairing Dao Chess. She changed her fate against the sky, and her origin is a mystery. No one in the world can agree to entrust Dao chess to such a person."
Zhong Sui replied solemnly: "This junior understands, and will definitely investigate carefully when I return to the Temple of Heaven."
"Proceed with caution, and don't startle the snake."
※※※
At this time, Yun Qing, who was mentioned by Huang Quan, was still struggling to restore the Qing Emperor Seal in the other hall.
The surrounding emperor seals emitted a faint light, flowing into a hazy band of light in a sea of peach blossoms, they floated aimlessly in the other hall, and then were taken by Yun Qing to condense into an array.
Tongtian Shenmai was originally a small world of its own, and the annex was even more covered with a divine realm. Under the double partition, it was difficult for Yun Qing to perceive the outside situation, so she could only devote herself wholeheartedly to the countless emperor seals. She also had a helper, Aman's divine power was already close to Emperor Qing's, which greatly enhanced Yun Qing's ability to perceive the emperor's seal in this environment.
Her movements are getting faster and faster, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and sometimes she doesn't even need to use her hands, she can know which emperor seal should be placed in which place just by intuition.
There is always a slightly sweet fragrance of peach blossoms, a fresh fragrance of grass and trees, and even the sunshine has a warm and soft atmosphere. Yun Qing feels that there is a huge gap between this place and the Li Palace, because in the Li Palace, she only sees the empty and lonely palace and the huge bronze gates. But there is almost no sense of oppression here, and the breath is so comfortable that people want to sleep.
The difference between the Li Palace and the Annex is probably the difference between the main hall and the back garden.
Yun Qing calmed down after thinking for a while, and hurriedly repaired the last small part of the back garden.
Aman's paw brought the last emperor seal, Yun Qing reached out to take it, and pressed it against the gap in the wall. All the emperor seals exuded a faint brilliance, and this brilliance disappeared in a flash. When I looked at it again, the walls of the entire annex were covered with verdant vines, and there were a few inconspicuous small flowers between the dense green.
Yun Qing pressed her hand on the wall, the annex of the Li Palace was disconnected from the central axis, if there is nothing wrong, then there should be the Li Palace behind this wall now. But she didn't want to go back to Li Palace, she still has a lot of things to do, after finishing these, Tiangong should have replaced Farewell Palace and stand on Qingyun.
So this is the last time she saw this ancient shrine.
There are no legendary treasures of heaven and earth, panaceas, secrets of exercises, and supreme inheritance. Even the palace walls are made of the oldest stones and the most ordinary piles.
But here is the longest spring and the most beautiful peach blossoms in the world, and this is what the god loved.
Yun Qing felt a little tired after doing all this, she looked up at the dreamlike scenery around, Aman put her on his shoulders, and then took her back the same way. Along the way, the path is paved with green and fluffy grass, winding around the peach trees, and there are shining spots in the shade of flowers. Amang flew a little high, and the peach branches above Yunqing's head hung down, almost within reach.
At the last moment when she stepped out of the bronze door, Yun Qing still couldn't help but glanced back at the peach tree, and sighed: "I don't understand, so what if it blooms so brightly, it hasn't been seen for a whole hundred thousand years... "
The bronze door closed slowly behind them, and only the peach blossoms were left in the door.
