Yan Dan only felt that he was constantly falling, but the surroundings were chaotic, like a dark corridor with no end. In the next instant, her eyes suddenly brightened, and the light even stabbed her eyes slightly. She felt a pain from the depths of her bones, as if something had been forcibly separated from her body.
Hearing a sharp wind noise, a rough and flexible branch stretched out from the diagonal and wrapped around her waist at once. Yan Dan was startled and struggled subconsciously, only to see the vines attached to the towering ancient tree in front of her wrapped around her hands and feet, slowly and powerfully. Pieces of earth mounds cracked open, and rough branches continued to protrude from the ground.
Her mind was like electricity, the corners of her mouth moved lightly, and she quickly chanted a spell. She saw a thin flame spread along the cane entangled in her hands, the branches and leaves made a crackling sound, and the flame But always avoided Yan Dan.
If she remembered correctly, this was the Kunlun Sacred Tree. Except for the one at the southernmost end of the heaven and earth, there is no other tree of the same kind. Are they in heaven now
She hadn't figured it out yet, when the branches around her body shook suddenly, slamming her to the ground, and the flames went out immediately. Immediately, another branch restrained her body, and immediately tightened it, tying her to the point where she couldn't breathe. She watched Tang Zhou and Yu Mo fall one after another, trying to tell them loudly that the Kunlun Sacred Tree was afraid of fire, but she couldn't make a sound.
Tang Zhou was only a mortal, so it was impossible to imagine that even a tree would threaten their lives, so she could only pin her hopes on Yu Mo.
I saw Yu Mo stabilizing his body in mid-air, his fingertips overflowing with sparks, and before he could finish reciting a complete spell, the thick and flexible branches were drawn towards him with a whirring wind! Yu Mo used his arm to block it, and saw that the branch seemed to be spiritually connected. Suddenly, it turned around and wrapped around his wrist. In the nick of time, he pulled out his short sword and cut off the branch wrapped around his wrist cleanly. He just heard a long, angry roar coming from the ground, the dust was flying, the soil layers on the ground jumped up one after another, and a dozen branches protruded from the ground, trapping him tightly.
Yu Mo lost strength in his hand, the dagger slipped and slid into the soil, and the hilt trembled slightly.
Yan Dan couldn't help sighing: "Unfortunately..."
In the blink of an eye, the three of them were trapped by the Kunlun Sacred Tree and could not move.
Yan Dan watched a sturdy tree trunk slowly rise halfway from the ground. Although the trunk was no different from an ordinary big tree, she had a feeling of being stared at.
"Yan Dan." She heard Yu Mo calling her name in a very flat voice not far away, she turned her head slowly, only to see Yu Mo smiling at her lightly, like a breeze blowing across her face. It is said that when you are dying, you can understand your true heart. Yan Dan suddenly thought, what is her intention
"It seems that someone has come down from above." Tang Zhou looked at the top and said softly.
Yan Dan slowly looked up, and saw a person jumping down from above, getting closer and closer. The man had clearly come prepared, as he was not thrown almost head down like they were. When she saw the man's face clearly, she murmured something in a low voice.
Anyone who comes down is fine, as long as it is not the Palace Master Shenxiao, but the reality is mostly cruel.
Yan Dan couldn't help but think, Palace Master Shenxiao tricked them here before, why did he follow him? This is too strange.
The dozen or so branches that stretched upwards to the sky suddenly moved, and quickly pulled towards Palace Master Shenxiao, but he was calm and elegant, neither panic nor chaotic, with graceful sleeves, and his body was calm and not chaotic in the abyss. the air. I didn't see how he drew the sword and danced the sword, but only heard the light sound of chi chi, and the dozen or so branches suddenly broke off and fell to the ground with a crackle.
Suddenly, there was a sharp and painful roar from the ground, like the despair and rage of a beast when it was injured.
Yan Dan could no longer see the situation above, and could only listen to the surrounding voices quietly. The Kunlun Sacred Tree was still roaring, but there was still not much movement from the Palace Master Shenxiao.
Suddenly, with a hoot, a flame slammed on her side like this, and rolled its flames towards her. Yan Dan only felt that the branches that bound him suddenly loosened, and quickly broke free. But the ends of his hair and the corners of his clothes were still burned.
However, the Kunlun Sacred Tree suddenly shrank upwards, uprooted himself, desperately trying to put out the fire on the branches, but the fire spread so fast that it could only roll on the ground a few times, with raging flames and bursts of black smoke Jumping hopping into the distance. From a distance, it looks like a huge fireball.
Yan Dan slapped off the little sparks on his body with force, only to feel a surge of anger burning from head to toe, just like anger rising from the heart, hatred and courage, pointing at the Palace Master Shenxiao and viciously said: "I have a relationship with you. Is it a feud?! You did this on purpose, you deliberately troubled me several times!"
Palace Master Shenxiao brushed off the smoke and dust on her pale white sleeves, glanced at her indifferently, and said, "You think too much."
Yan Dan was trembling with anger and wanted to pounce on him and strangle him, but was immediately hugged by Yu Mo from behind. Yu Mo hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her eyes and comforted her softly: "You can't kill him even if you rush up, you should be more peaceful." When Yan Dan heard this, he immediately let him hug her obediently: "My lord..."
Yu Mo slowly let go of his arms and smiled slightly: "Come on, after all, he also saved us." He looked at Palace Master Shenxiao and said lightly, "Although, I don't know why Palace Master is so good. come down?"
The Palace Master Shenxiao was silent for a moment, then said briefly, "Tao Ziqi has a different heart. I was forced into a demon."
Yan Dan looked at Palace Master Shenxiao with contempt, it would be strange if Tao Ziqi's meager ability could force him: "...you must make up a lie that can be believed, okay?"
Palace Master Shenxiao glanced at them slowly: "Don't believe it."
Tang Zhou looked at each other and asked quietly, "Where are we? Since we are together, it doesn't make sense to pretend that some things are mysterious."
The Palace Master Shenxiao frowned slightly and said in a flat tone: "This is the demon caused by the ancient artifact Chumo."
Hearing this, Yu Mo couldn't help but look at the ground. They were standing there, but there was no shadow behind them. The Palace Master Shenxiao paused for a while, then continued: "It is true that there will be no shadows, because what we are in is our own consciousness."
Tang Zhou suddenly felt absurd, frowned involuntarily, and looked at Yu Mo and Yan Dan. Yu Mo slightly lowered his head and said nothing. Yan Dan raised his finger and tapped his chin, as if thinking hard. She thought for a while, then smiled brightly: "Do you mean to say that there are many traces of immortal magic engraved on the divine artifact, and these traces become the same memories as people. It's not so much that we are in our own thoughts. , would it be better to say that our consciousness and memory are all connected with Chu Mo?"
The Palace Master Shenxiao nodded slightly: "Almost so."
After listening to her explanation, Tang Zhou made an inference: "So, the tree demon just appeared in the demon because some of us have seen it before?"
Yan Dan sighed: "The tree demon? Why do you think it's a tree demon? It's obviously a god tree."
"I have indeed seen the Kunlun Sacred Tree." Yu Mo said lightly, "Yan Dan should have seen it too, otherwise he wouldn't know that it can be dealt with with fire."
Yan Dan looked at him and said in amazement: "How could you have seen it? I remember that there are no other places except the one in the heaven."
Yu Mo didn't answer, but looked at Palace Master Shenxiao: "You need someone with a pure soul to untie Chumo's seal for you, because in this way, the dangers that may appear in the devil will be much less."
Palace Master Shenxiao nodded: "At least half of us have seen the things that appear in the demons. I originally wanted to wait until you reached the end of the demons before coming in, but I didn't expect you to even deal with the Kunlun Sacred Tree. No." He was not conceited, his tone and expression were more like a pertinent statement of a fact.
Yan Dan muttered: "So, why do you need to find someone with a pure soul, can't you break through the magic circle yourself?"
"I've seen too many things, and the road will only be more difficult." Palace Master Shenxiao said lightly, "If there were only the three of you, the Kunlun Sacred Tree might have been the most difficult level, but with me, this I'm afraid it's nothing."
Yan Dan was instantly horrified.
This is a vast and boundless land, with no traces of human beings. Everywhere it passes is thistle grass, sand and gravel, and it is a barren land. A group of people raised a bonfire between the stone forests, and the flame was beating, which was the only light source in this desolate night.
Tang Zhou propped himself on the ground with his saber and sat down against the rock. After walking for most of the day, except for a little tiredness, there is no hunger. He felt strange and asked. Yan Dan spread out his hands, very helpless: "If we are in Chumo's consciousness, naturally we will not be hungry, how can the artifact be hungry? I guess, although we have traveled for a long time, we are actually outside. It's just over half an hour. After this hour, I won't be hungry anymore."
Tang Zhou thought for a while, and then said, "According to you, what you see here is not true?"
Yan Dan poked the fire with thistle, tilted his head and thought for a while: "To put it more clearly, everything here is real, it's just what it looked like a long time ago, the thistle, the Gobi, the stone we saw It's all a long time ago. But if you're unfortunate enough to be trapped here, you can consider yourself dead."
"As long as you save your life, you can go out naturally." Palace Master Shenxiao said lightly.
Yan Dan sighed softly and muttered, "Whoever did this..." Knowing that the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, she could cope with it if she had enough energy, so she slowly leaned back against the stone, trying to change to a more comfortable position. But this stone has sharp edges and corners, which made her very uncomfortable. Suddenly I heard Yu Mo call softly, "Yan Dan."
She turned her head to look, and saw Yu Mo put her hand on her lap and said with a slight smile, "Come to me."
Yan Dan immediately jumped over beamingly and put her pillow on his lap, Yu Mo moved her body to make her pillow more comfortable. Yan Dan suddenly thought of being trapped in the Kunlun Sacred Tree before, and he smiled at himself, as if reflecting the feelings she had never dared to face again. Thinking like this, she raised her head to look at him subconsciously, and suddenly burst into a smile: "Yu Mo, you're blushing..."
"I do not have."
"But I saw it," Yan Dan felt amused, and couldn't help raising his hand to touch his face, "Here, and there..."
"I said no, don't make trouble, go to sleep!"
Yan Dan was still waiting to pursue the victory, when suddenly a flower appeared in front of her eyes, and a sword light just swept past her eyes, making her feel uncomfortable, and turned to see who was the culprit. I saw Tang Zhou took out his saber and slowly wiped it against the fire. From the concave and convex lines of the hilt to the blade, the firelight reflected on Aomori's sword edge, and the real sword light was like autumn water.
This is a good sword that is rare in the ages. You can see that the murderous aura is contained but not exposed. The sword is bright and pure like water. It is a rare good sword.
Tang Zhou's master said this when he gave him the sword.
Yan Dan was dazzled by the dazzling sword light, and half of her body was propped up murderously. Suddenly, her eyes darkened. Yu Mo stretched out her hand to cover her eyes and whispered in her ear: "Sleep, we have to go tomorrow."
There was a cool air in his fingers, Yan Dan calmed down, leaning on his knee and slowly closing his eyes. But for half a cup of tea, she was already conscious, and she could only vaguely hear Yu Mo's low and pleasant voice: "... Didn't you realize that, since she arrived at the demon phase, it was easy to become irritable, and even Yan Dan's temper was a lot worse... "
Yan Dan gradually fell into a dream. Behind the layers of white fog in the dream, stood a tall and tall figure of Tsinghua, who could vaguely be seen wearing a green shirt with flowing sleeves. I saw the man holding a dagger, cut a long slit in his hand, blood beads dripped down his wrist, every drop of blood turned into a blood sculpture, flapping blood-red wings in the sky, Suddenly he rushed towards her!
Yan Dan woke up suddenly, only to see Yu Mo looking down at her with deep black eyes. He suddenly whispered: "You heard it just now?"
"What did you hear?" Yan Dan was horrified and looked to the side, only to see Tang Zhou and Palace Master Shenxiao both awake, especially Palace Master Shenxiao, who had a strange expression for some reason.
"We all heard a vague voice talking in our ears just now, but there is no other sound except the wind." Yu Mo's tone was flat.
I just heard the Palace Master Shenxiao say slowly: "There are four artifacts in ancient times, the Seven Lights, Chumo, Dizhi, and Lichen." Every time he mentioned an artifact, he wrote a name on the ground, "These four artifacts are What was left by Pangu when he opened up the world, and later belonged to Emperor Jiuchen of the Heavenly Court, but all of them were left behind in the battle of the immortals and demons. This is a saying, and I think there must be something wrong with it.
He paused, then continued: "The legend of Pangu Kaitian is naturally known to everyone, so there is something strange about the part we don't know."
Yan Dan thought for a while, and felt that it was reasonable, so he nodded.
"There are three Jiuchen Emperors, Tianji Zixu Zhaosheng Emperor, Dongji Qingli Yingyuan Emperor, and Yuanshi Changsheng Emperor. If there are really four artifacts, then one person will have two artifacts, and in this way Jiuchen The balance of the three emperors has been broken." Shenxiao Palace Master said solemnly, "If there are only three artifacts, what is the fourth one mixed in?"
Yu Mo said lightly: "If this is the case, then the three artifacts are from the heaven, and the fourth is from the demon who was exterminated in the battle of the immortals and demons. Chumo is probably something from the demon realm."
The Palace Master Shenxiao said lightly: "If this is the case, I made a mistake."
Yan Dan was distracted and thinking about other things, but when he heard his words, he felt a surge of anger burning from head to toe. They were tricked into the demons by the Palace Master Shenxiao, and they didn't know if they could get out alive, but he sent them away with a fluttering sentence. Seeing her like this, Yu Mo said softly, "It's easy to be impatient in a demon, Yan Dan, you have to keep your temper."
Yan Dan thought about it for a while, and she was really easy to get impatient when she arrived at the demon phase. She didn't dare to provoke Palace Master Shenxiao when she said anything outside, but she was often dizzy when she came in.
Palace Master Shenxiao looked at the pale sky and whispered: "The ancient seal script on Chumo only says that the devil is born from the heart, and everything in it is born from the heart. And what appears here is from memory. Things. I need it to remember things from the past, which is why I brought you into the demon."
Yan Dan heard the words and couldn't help asking: "You don't remember the past?"
It was the first time she saw Palace Master Shenxiao smile, but with a faint and sad smile: "If I can remember those things in the past, I will go even if it is a sea of swords and flames."
