Min Endong finally cracked the last three substances, which were basalt from Dongyao in the water city, salamanders from Chilemir in the fire city, and Buddha soil from Qingyang in Tucheng. These three substances, together with the previous tungsten gold and dark wood, exactly represent the five main elements in nature. This is based on the Five Elements theory that everything in the universe is composed of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The prototype of alchemy originated in China. According to legend, after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he began to send people to the sea to seek the elixir of immortality for immortals. These are what later people often called sea tops, and these sea tops were integrated with many Taoist concepts. Eventually it evolved into "alchemy". China has mastered the pharmaceutical method of heating and sublimating drugs since the pre-Qin Dynasty. It was first introduced to Arabia in the ninth and tenth centuries, and then to Europe in the twelfth century.
Thinking of this, Min Endong began to suspect that this strange array that could not find its origin was most likely the most primitive sea top, which was the origin of all alchemical arrays.
He discussed his test results and various conjectures with Dong Muya, and after hearing that the material in the Fire City was most likely an animal such as a salamander. Dong Muya had a hunch that the real reason why Qingyun stayed in Chilemir might be far more than what they thought before. Isn't the lord of Chilemir City a salamander demon called Salamander? He himself might be one of the elements of the array.
Blue Snake Xizhen gradually regained consciousness under Cang Emperor's gentle call. Facing her was still the gentle white light from four thousand years ago, but this time she was so dazzled by the light that she couldn't open her eyes.
"I... don't regret it!" She expressed the iron-clad perseverance in her heart in a weak voice.
Emperor Cang gently touched her face with his free hand and said softly: "Fool!"
At this time, Xizhen had lost the strength to choke and could only cry silently. She knew that no matter how powerful she was in the eyes of others, she could always show her fragile side without any scruples in front of Cang Emperor. Because in his eyes, she is not a poisonous snake monster, but the most beautiful flower, or a drop of dew in the morning, and he is willing to be the leaf that carefully holds her up, with no more or no strength, but And gave her just the right amount of support.
"I'm sorry... I still... still can't... stop..."
Xizhen wanted to continue, but Emperor Cang put his finger on her lips and said to her: "It's all over! Do you know? If I hadn't met you, I would have been just a lonely tree, and because of being with you The encounter gave me so many memories and emotions, and I really have no regrets. What about you?"
She stretched out her hand to hold his and pressed it tightly against her face. She wanted to remember his warmth. Whenever her life was on the verge of death, this warmth would appear and bring her back from darkness to light. She knew this time would be no exception. She ended her lifetime of glory and slept in her lover's arms with a smile on her face without any regrets.
Emperor Cang picked her up and slowly put her into the coffin, then nodded to Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng and said: "I will destroy Xizhen's coffin, and please forgive her for the sin she committed! "
After saying that, he turned into a ray of white light and went straight to the top of the tomb, and a big hole was instantly opened on the top. For a moment, the earth shook in the tomb, and huge roots stretched out bit by bit from the hole, and then wrapped around Blue Snake Xizhen's coffin made of dark wood. After her coffin was completely wrapped, the roots began to burst into flames, and soon thick smoke spread throughout the cave.
"Let's get out of here quickly!" Ouyang Xiaoleng shouted.
Several teenagers struggled to escape from the circular tunnel. After reaching the ground, they saw smoke spreading over Mucheng. They ran towards the center of the city, where the huge white oak tree had completely burned. Cang Emperor ended his fate with Blue Snake Xizhen by burning himself. They finally completely merged into one, and would never be separated again.
The young man left the wooden city on his demon horse. The fire in the city behind him was still not extinguished, dyeing the night sky blood red. Although the materials set up by the Qi Lie Formation in Wooden City were destroyed, the hearts of several young people were not at ease. Four thousand years, even for monsters, is a boundless immortal life. What exactly caused the acid rain in Mucheng, and finally made Xizhen the Blue Snake become a prisoner of Qingyun in order to save Cang Emperor
They must find out the truth to solve the mystery in their hearts. If Qingyun is really involved in planning all of this, when they finally defeat him, they will definitely make him pay for the pain Xizhen and Cangdi have endured.
In the Demon Realm King's City, Feng Huo returned to Chenji Palace ahead of them. After telling Ouyang Hongye about his experience, he handed the Ring of Beiming into his hands.
He didn't want to touch that terrible ring anymore anyway. He shook his head and said helplessly: "Brother, you have to be careful, don't be fooled by it! I don't know how to destroy it. This kind of tungsten metal is really too hard, no matter whether I smash it with my wind and fire ax or burn it with demonic fire, I can't leave even a single trace on it."
"Thank you for your hard work! The manager of the basement of Ouyang's ancient house may be able to find a solution. I will tell you once there is any progress! Go back and rest!" Ouyang Hongye put the mysterious demon world into an exquisite In a small wooden box, I held it in my hand and looked back and forth several times before closing the lid.
For a big monster like Feng Huo, those small wounds on the flesh were no big deal, but forcing himself to use all his monster power in an explosive manner did make him a little weak. He said goodbye to Ouyang Hongye and returned to Kaiyang. Rest in the temple.
Forced by the situation before, Xia Qiu didn't have time to pay attention to the injuries on her body. Now she felt more and more pain in her left arm and below the chest while riding on the demon horse. Although she wanted to grit her teeth and hold on, she still fainted because she couldn't bear it.
Ling Yu saw her about to fall off the demon horse, and hurriedly transformed his colorful satin from his sleeves to pull her into his arms, and then flew off the horse with her in his arms.
He looked at her bloodless face and asked in horror: "Hey, are you okay?"
Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi also came to her, hurriedly trying to check the injuries on her body.
Ling Yu opened the hands they extended and shouted: "Do you two know the difference between men and women? Don't touch them!"
Then he started to check on his own. Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qian Qi forgot for a moment that he was actually a man and did not stop him. Lingyu grew up in Fireworks Alley and had long been accustomed to women's bodies, but for some reason, when he touched this human girl, he still felt his whole body tremble under his fingers.
Her left forearm was apparently broken, and three of her right ribs were broken. As a result, after a big battle in the fantasy world, she, a human, was the one with the most serious head injuries among them.
"How is it?" Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi asked almost in unison.
"A few broken bones are nothing to us, but she is a human being after all! How did she persist? Alas, she is really a madman!" Ling Yu's tone was filled with anger, but there was more. It's love.
"Let's go back to Dongyao first! There are doctors from my father there who can treat Xia Qiu!" Qianqi suggested.
In Chenji Palace, Ouyang Hongye slipped open the metal bolt on the small wooden box again, opened the lid, and found the Ring of Beiming in front of him. The rose-colored luster it shines is dazzling, and the luster seems to be a kind of calling.
"Put me on your hand! I can fulfill all your wishes!"
"who?"
A ghostly voice sounded. Ouyang Hongye looked around, but could not find the owner of the voice.
"I am the Ring of Beiming in your hand." The voice answered.
Originally, Ouyang Hongye didn't believe that there really was a Lord of the Rings, but now it seemed that Feng Huo was not exaggerating. That's right, since even big monsters like Fire Hyena were confused by it, and Feng Huo almost got stuck in the mud and couldn't extricate himself, it seems that this ring is really an ominous thing.
He snapped the lid shut and ignored the sound coming from the box. Instead, they began to count the days until Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others returned. If nothing unexpected happened, they should return to the royal city soon.
Xia Qiu, who stayed in Dongyao to recover from her injuries, lived a life of fairy-like freedom. Qian Qi appointed several female demon servants to serve her day and night. Taking various tonics that the Amber Dragon King developed every day to nurse his son Qianqi back to health, not only did his body recover quickly, but he also gained some weight than before. Looking at her increasingly rounded figure in the bronze mirror, she felt that if she didn't leave Dongyao, no one would recognize her when she went back.
In the past two weeks, Mermaid Yuchan was ecstatic when she learned that Ouyang Xiaoleng would stay in Dongyao for a short time. Almost every day, she found some excuse to visit Qianqi in the Amber Dragon Palace, but actually she came to see Ouyang Xiaoleng. Even if she could see him from a distance, it would be enough to comfort her from her lovesickness.
But Ouyang Xiaoleng's whole heart was still with Xia Qiu. In the fantasy world created by Blue Snake, Xia Qiu's ability and courage as a blood pact maker were once again confirmed, but at the same time, her fearlessness frightened Ouyang Xiaoleng. Even though she has gained the power given by the gods, she is still only a human being after all. This battle with the blue snake cost her several broken bones, but what about next time? The Qi Lie Formation still has three cities that have not been broken, and a greater crisis is likely to be waiting for them in these three cities. If they fight, they are destined to be injured, and they are likely to die.
After everything that had happened recently, he and Xia Qiu had become estranged again, and although this trip to Mucheng had eased, it still seemed like there was something between them. He felt like he and she were back in those days again, and he could only look at her from a distance, so happy and radiant, but he couldn't bear to be disturbed.
However, Lingyu became familiar with Xia Qiu and no longer called her "hey" or "ugly girl". During his days in Dongyao, he stayed with her every day and found that she and he could chat very well.
Listening to him sweetly calling her Sister Xia, Xia Qiu's heart felt warm. This elf-like young man was like a combined version of Snow Rabbit and Liu Lingmei, but he was also a bit more quirky than them. .
Finally, it was time to recover from the injury and embark on the journey home. From Dongyao to Wangcheng, several teenagers traveled non-stop, day and night. There are more difficult problems waiting for them in Wangcheng!
