into the night.
The wind was rustling, and the leaves in the courtyard were gently raised and then fell again.
A snake with thin little fingers crawled slowly, its belly rubbing against the dead leaves, making a tiny sound.
The little snake swam all the way to a certain room and got in through the crack of the door.
In the room, there was a person lying on the ground, sleeping soundly.
The little snake swam by the other side and climbed onto the bed along the bedpost.
There was also a person on the bed, with his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling gently, the little snake crawled to the head of the bed, raised its body, spat out a cold letter and licked the other's cheek.
Seeing that there was no response from the man, the little snake turned into a puff of black smoke and penetrated into the other's ear.
The body of the person on the bed was shaken and returned to calm.
In the darkness, suddenly there was a little light, the light group became bigger and bigger, and the colorful fallen flowers were faintly visible in the light.
In the courtyard full of flowers, the four or five-year-old boy stumbled and slammed into one person. He hugged the other person's long, thin legs and said with joy, "Brother!"
"Kang Ji, you don't listen to your father's words to cultivate well, what are you doing here with me?" The man's voice was cold, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Kang Ji: "I just like to be with my brother. Isn't my brother often not practicing?"
Kang Xi seems to be true but not true: "I am the son of the snake king Kang Duo. I was born with dignity, so I don't need to practice hard."
Kang Ji: "I am me, I am too! I am also the son of the snake king Kang Duo, and the younger brother of my brother. I don't need to cultivate! My father and my brother will protect me!"
Kang Xi chuckled softly, touched his head, and said casually, "Smart boy."
He picked Kang Ji up, "You ran in such a hurry, but something happened?"
Kang Ji twisted, adjusted his posture, and wrapped his arms around Kang Xi's neck. His big eyes, which are rarely seen in the snake tribe, were full of doubts, "Brother, what is realgar?"
Kang Xi was taken aback, "Regar?"
Kang Ji: "My father just got angry and said that Mrs. Xilian mixed realgar powder into his wine, causing him to delay his business."
Kang Xi smiled lowly and said slowly: "Realgar, in the legends of mortals of the human race, it is the thing that snakes and demons are most afraid of. As long as the snakes and demons eat realgar, they will change back to their shape, and they will no longer be able to transform into people, and gradually lose their shape. Lingzhi, become an ordinary snake."
Kang Ji arched and struggled to get down, he said anxiously, "Is my father going to become an ordinary snake?"
"That's just the legend of the human race. How can we snake monsters be afraid of realgar? Not only are we not afraid, realgar is still..." Kang Xi's smile became ambiguous, "You will know when you grow up."
…
Autumn and winter come, and white snow weighs the branches.
It's still the same yard, it's still those two people.
Kang Ji has grown taller, and now he is about the same height as Kang Xi, so he can no longer hug each other's legs and act like a spoiled child.
At this time, he was holding Kang Xi's hand, "Brother, you are so cold."
Kang Xi let him hold it, "The snake family is already cold."
Kang Ji: "I'm very warm."
Kang Xi said half-jokingly: "You have always been an outlier from the snake race."
However, Kang Ji said seriously: "I just saw my brother, and my heart is warm, so my body is also very warm." He held Kang Xi's hand and kissed his fingertips, "I like my brother."
Kang Xi's body froze and met Kang Ji's eyes.
After a while, he withdrew his hand and left with a sullen face.
…
Scene by scene, from childhood to teenage, intertwined, as if flipping through a book full of memories.
In the end, the picture stays in the bathtub with green smoke floating, Kang Ji is hiding in the water, and Kang Xi is holding a glass of wine to him.
Kang Ji's ears were slightly red, and he didn't dare to look at Kang Xi. He stared at the wine glass and said, "What wine? It smells so pungent."
Kang Xi: "realgar wine."
Kang Ji's neck shrank, "Brother knows, I didn't like realgar since I was a child."
Kang Xi: "That's all me teasing you, don't you know it yet?"
Kang Ji: "I know, but I still don't like it."
Kang Xi: "If you know what this wine really tastes like, you won't dislike it. It can..."
Kang Xi leaned into Kang Xi's ear and said something softly.
Kang Ji's ears turned red instantly, and immediately, Kang Xi's cold hands touched his shoulders and slowly descended.
Suddenly, Kang Xi's hand was caught.
When he looked up, he found that Kang Ji was looking at him coldly, there was no friendship in his eyes, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Kang Xi frowned and said subconsciously, "Who are you?"
"You don't have to come to arouse my memory. I haven't forgotten those things, they are very clear. But from the day you sent Haisong to kill me, I don't want to think about it again."
Wei Zhentu said calmly, he was sober, and he knew everything that had just happened.
As soon as the snake approached the house, he had already sensed the formation he set up, and pretended to fall asleep with Ruan Jiu.
When the snake turned into black smoke, he originally wanted to avoid it, but thinking about Kang Xi's talent and Kang Xi's complicated thoughts about Kang Ji, he decided to take a gamble and let Kang Xi completely dispel his doubts.
Kang Xi is a family of dream snakes, his talent is dreaming, and the little snake is just transformed by him with demon power.
Then, Wei Zhentu entered a dream made by Kang Xi himself.
At first, his consciousness was a little vague, but he knew that he was not Kang Ji, so he just watched from the sidelines.
He guessed that Kang Xi wanted to provoke Kang Ji's memory, and reminded him to recall the past, he wanted to see the common experience of the "two brothers" along the way, but he had to stop the situation.
Kang Xi was startled, "When did I..." Then his eyes sank and he whispered: "Trash!"
He looked at Kang Ji again, looked into the other's eyes, and his heart was suddenly pulled, but he was still brave, "Are you going to break with me?"
Wei Zhentu: "You want to kill me, you kill Kang Duo, Kang Duo is my father."
Kang Xi didn't explain, and instead mocked: "Your father doesn't believe you."
Wei Zhentu: "I broke his heart."
Kang Xi was silent for a while, "You really blame me."
Wei Zhentu: "No, I blame myself. Lord Kangxi, I'm awake, and it's time for you to wake up from your dream."
As soon as the voice fell, all the images in his consciousness slowly dissipated, and Wei Zhentu on the bed opened his eyes.
And in a room in the mansion, Kang Xi spat out a mouthful of blood - the dream-making is seen through, and the dream-maker will also be backlashed.
But what really caused him pain, only he knew.
The next day before dawn, a demon attendant came to call a few people and led them to the front of the mansion, where Kang Xi was already waiting.
Kang Xi took them to the holy mountain. There are many snake tribes who came to worship on the mountain, but they could not enter the temple unless they could get the token of the snake emperor.
Along the way, Kang Xi didn't say a word, his expression was as cold as Shen Bing for ten thousand years, and he didn't even look at Kang Ji.
The more you walk up the holy mountain, the colder it gets.
The Snake Clan should be afraid of the cold, but Kang Xi didn't respond to it. Wei Zhentu had an inexplicable idea - perhaps Kang Xi, who is far colder than the Holy Mountain.
When he came to the entrance of the temple, Kang Xi took out a token and put it into the groove of the stone door of the temple. The stone door shook slightly and suddenly lifted.
Behind the door is a long corridor leading directly to the main hall, and at the end of the main hall there is a short tree half a zhang high, with a scarlet fruit on it, and a thin golden light barrier outside the tree.
As soon as several people entered the corridor, the stone gate immediately lowered, making a loud noise.
Kang Xi still walked in the forefront without saying a word, but when he approached the main hall, Jing Yue's footsteps stopped.
He saw a portrait hanging on the left side of the main hall. The drawing paper was made from the slough of a big demon snake. There is a young Taoist in the painting. There are silver needles in several big holes of the Taoist. Just by looking at the position of the silver needles, you can tell that this person is hated by the demon clan, because if this method is used on a living person, it can Trap the opponent's soul, so that it will never be born.
And he also recognized the face of the young Taoist, it was Yi Wang!
Jing Yue finally understood why there were portraits of Jing Yuan everywhere in the demon clan, and he never forgot it. It turned out that Yiwang's portrait was actually stored in the temple by the demon clan to vent his anger and humiliation in the cruelest way.
Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed him.
The other party's hand was warm, Jing Yue knew it was Qin Yanzhi, he closed his eyes, knowing that he couldn't be impulsive at this time, he could only bear it.
But the word "forbearance" was not easy. The pain of a knife in his heart made him almost convulse. As long as he thought that there would be this portrait in places similar to the temples of other tribes, it was difficult for him to restrain the killing intent in his heart.
Jingyue held Qin Yanzhi instead, with both hands hard, as if the person beside him was his only life-saving straw.
Wei Zhentu and Ruan Jiu also recognized Yi Wang. Although they were not disciples of the Cold Cloud Sect, Yi Wang was a hero of the human race. Even if they failed to survive the calamity and ascend, they were no different in the hearts of cultivators like them. The god who saves the human race from fire and water.
Forgetting is a belief.
Fearless, uncompromising, courageous and firm in faith.
Since it is faith, how can the two of them not be angry, but forced by the situation, even Jingyue chooses to endure, what can they do
Kang Xi turned his back to them all the time, and did not notice any abnormality, but stepped forward step by step, knelt down in front of the dwarf tree, and recited an ancient and obscure incantation.
Immediately, he remained motionless.
Until the first ray of morning light fell, the golden barrier outside the dwarf tree fluctuated slightly. Kang Xi took a few steps on his knees and picked the holy demon fruit on the dwarf tree with both hands.
He didn't lie, the demon holy fruit can only be picked in the morning light, no matter how bloody and sinful it is, it still needs light.
Kang Xi simply handed the demon holy fruit to Qian Su, and finally looked at Kang Ji again and suddenly said: "Your father, killed my father and mother, you want revenge in the future, I don't blame you, but I don't either. I'll be merciful to you."
Wei Zhentu still didn't speak, Kang Xi lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes.
After a moment, he turned around and took a bone whip from the right wall.
Jing Yuezheng didn't know why, when he saw Kang Xi flick his bone whip and slammed towards the portrait of Yiwang!
"call out-"
The bone whip exploded, tearing the wind in half.
This scene seemed to slow down in Jing Yue's eyes. He clearly saw the bone whip stretch, straighten, split into the air... It was about to touch a portrait of forgetfulness.
Reason was finally replaced by anger, no, even if he was still rational at this moment, he would never be able to watch others treat his apprentice like this!
His dead apprentice!
Jingyue dodged in an instant, holding the bone whip in one hand, and a heart-piercing pain came from the palm of his hand.
He stared at Kang Xi with red eyes, the latter froze for a moment and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
Jing Yue pulled the bone whip from Kang Xi's hand with all his strength. When the others saw this, they knew that the situation would develop to the worst possible situation, but they all understood Jing Yue, and no one could bear the humiliation of their ancestors in person.
Moreover, from Kang Xi's actions, they even guessed that everyone who entered the temple had to hit the portrait of the ancestor Yiwang several times when they left
As a human race, they can no longer bear it.
If that's the case, then it's better to strike first!
Wei Zhentu took the lead in throwing out a picture book. The formation in the picture trapped Kang Xi. The latter was shocked and took out the snake emperor token. However, the next moment, his right arm was already caught by Qin Yanzhi's flying sword. After being cut off, the whole person was also taken into a bronze mirror.
The mirror is called the Soul Capture Mirror, and it is now in Jing Yue's hands. It is also a treasure bestowed by the Fox Emperor.
This mirror can ingest everything below the Zifu of the human race. Kang Xi is only a demon commander, with the same strength as Zifu, but weaker than Jingyue, who is also in Zifu.
Therefore, he can only be imprisoned in the mirror, and even if he has secret means to contact the Snake Emperor, he cannot use it at this time.
Similarly, Jing Yue did not kill Kang Xi because he was worried that the other party would have a secret technique that would make the Snake Emperor perceive his life and death.
What appeared on the mirror was not the reflection of Jingyue, but Kang Xi clutching his broken arm. His eyes were frightened and horrified, and he gritted his teeth: "You are a human race!"
Judging from the exercises of several people and their maintenance of Yiwang, it would be stupid if Kangxi couldn't guess the truth!
But soon, Kang Xi's fear was replaced by panic again. He turned his eyes to Wei Zhentu and repeated: "You are a human race! Where is Kang Ji? What do you think of him?"
Wei Zhentu's tone was calm and cruel, "Kang Ji is dead."
Kang Xi froze for a moment, then his whole body began to tremble, and he curled up in pain. He knew that what these people said was true, Kang Ji died, so the Terran impersonated him.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little happy in his heart. Kang Ji didn't change, he didn't forget what he said to him, he just died!
But this little bit of happiness was quickly swept away by a great sadness—his brother, dead.
No wonder, the acacia grass withered.
He should have known, because many years ago, the person who sent the grass said—
"In the legend of the demon clan, Acacia is always prosperous and undefeated, which means that my brother will not change."
The young man has big eyes rarely seen in the snake clan, and presented a pot of green grass with both hands, "This pot of acacia, every leaf is my favorite brother, if the leaves are withered one day..."
The young man opposite smiled, "You don't like me anymore?"
Teenager: "No, I'm going to die."
…
Kang Xi has always regarded these words as a joke, even if the acacia is always prosperous, it only has a lifespan of a hundred years.
The young man said with confidence: "It will be green again when it is dry."
But Kang Xi now understands that the potted grass will never be green again.
"I... I'm going to kill you." Kang Xi murmured, the next moment, he struggled all over, causing the mirror to tremble.
Kang Xi's grim expression was reflected in the mirror, and his sinister eyes seemed to be poisoned.
Wei Zhentu said: "Don't pretend, if it wasn't for you, Kang Ji would still be the son of his snake king in the Snake Clan, loved by Kang Duo and respected by the Snake Clan. You betrayed him and killed him, you even , I didn't even recognize that he had changed a soul."
Kang Xi stopped abruptly, as if someone had cast a spell on him, and he didn't move.
His eyes collapsed, as if his soul was suddenly taken away, staring blankly at Wei Zhentu, staring at a pair of skin.
Seeing this, Jingyue threw the soul-repelling mirror directly into the Xumi Jie, and used his divine sense to probe the portrait of Forgotten, but did not find any hidden traps, and then waved his sleeves and pulled out all the silver needles in the painting.
He stepped forward quickly and carefully removed the portrait.
Even if the only one he could take away, even if the Snake Clan could hang it up again, he still took it down.
Jing Yue rolled up the portrait and put it away, and said, "Friend Wei, please make a puppet to be used as Kang Xi, and we will leave immediately."
He knew that the puppets couldn't hide the Snake Emperor at all. Fortunately, Langri was very close to the Snake Clan Imperial City, and they could leave the Demon Realm in half a day.
He ruined the good situation, Jing Yue felt guilty, but did not regret it.
On that day, many snake tribes saw Lord Kangxi leading a few monsters belonging to the fox tribe to the temple, and after a while, they left the temple again. Afterwards, Lord Kangxi returned to the mansion, while Qian Su and others went to Langri and disappeared.
Shuxi Continent, a mountainside.
Jing Yue was staring at a black hand bone and said, "It turned out to be this thing."
This is the sacred artifact of the devil's way - the divine bone. It is said to be made from a phalanx of a number of devil's masters. It is normal to tear a gap in the enchantment.
Jing Yue said, "Friend Wei, if we take away this hand bone, will the outside world be able to detect it?"
Wei Zhentu observed this secret realm, "There is a lot of demonic energy in this place. If the hand bones are taken away, the demonic energy will gradually fade away, and the outside world will definitely notice it."
Jing Yue frowned: "How long can the demonic aura last?"
Wei Zhentu: "At most one day."
Jingyue: "One day is one day, otherwise if Kangxi's matter is noticed, I'm afraid that it will be pursued within a day."
Now that the judgment has been made, Jing Yue immediately took away the hand bones, and asked Wei Zhentu to set up a small illusion.
If someone came to inspect it, they would not notice anything wrong with a dazzling look. Only with careful inspection could they find that the real hand bones had disappeared.
A few people pretended to walk out of the secret realm as if nothing had happened, and there were many demon cultivators guarding it, but because of the strong demonic energy in the secret realm, they rarely went in.
A demon cultivator said, "How many are the envoys of the demon race?"
His eyes were calm, and he should have known in advance that a monster would come.
Jing Yue: "Exactly."
The magic cultivator immediately smiled and said, "It's time to wait for you, please come with me."
The demon cultivator led a few people to escape for half an hour, and finally came to the Guifu Sect, and it was not Han Guang who was waiting for them, but a demon cultivator elder.
As soon as the other party saw Jingyue, he warmly greeted him, explaining that the sect master was in seclusion and it was inconvenient to meet. But Jingyue suspected that it was the righteous way to clear the west of Shu, and Han Guang had consumed a lot of money and was recovering.
After a brief greeting, the elder asked, "Everyone, have you brought all the four demon saint fruits?"
Jing Yue nodded and pretended to ask casually, "How is that one?"
Mo Xiu: "Although there is no consciousness yet, but there has been movement, it can devour the earth evil and the water. As long as there are these four demon holy fruits, it may be born in the world within a thousand years."
He put on a look of pity again: "If the demon clan can give up one more demon holy fruit, it can shorten hundreds of years."
Hearing this, Jing Yue's heartbeat stopped, and a terrifying conjecture came up in his mind, and his expression was a little ugly to test, "Four is the limit of the demon clan, Sect Master Han must be able to understand this, anyway, after a thousand years, the devil will be born. It will come to the world, how about a little earlier and a little later?"
The elder smiled subconsciously: "Not bad."
Immediately, his smile froze, because he noticed that the expressions of the four demon clan changed in unison, and there was a fear that could not be hidden in his eyes.
The devil's fetus is conceived by heaven and earth, born of the way of heaven, and cannot be stopped or changed.
As soon as the devil's embryo appears, the devil's way will definitely prosper. If it is not destroyed, the righteous path will usher in a devastating disaster, and the entire human world will be ruled by the devil's way!
But does the devil embryo say that it can be destroyed if it is destroyed? The devil does not simply refer to a certain person, but also means the fate of the devil's way. If you want to destroy the number of qi destined by the gods, how can it be done by a very human being
At this moment, the four Jingyue's minds exploded with thunder at the same time - no wonder! It's no wonder that Mo Dao has been moving frequently over the years, and they are preparing for the birth of the devil's fetus.
Everything they do is to weaken the righteous qi fortune.
And they can finally understand the cooperation between the rebellious human race and the demon race. Now that the righteous way is strong, if there is no help from the demon race, the devil will not know when it will be born, so how can the devil not be in a hurry
As for the demon clan, although the birth of the demon fetus is a matter of the human world, it has nothing to do with them, but they hate the human race deeply, especially the human race's righteous path. Even though they will still be under control when the demons unify the human world, it does not prevent them from intervening at this time. As long as the human world is in chaos, the demon clan may be able to find a turning point from it.
Therefore, they don't hesitate to offer the sacred relics of the demon race to be eaten by the demon embryo, so that the demon embryo can be born faster, and the catastrophe of the human world will come soon.
This news is extremely important, and they must send it back immediately!
Several people's minds changed quickly, but they heard the elder say: "Several, give me the demon holy fruit now?"
Jingyue was about to speak, but the elder had already quickly grabbed him!
The other party has a cultivation base in the sky, Jingyue can avoid it, and asks: "What does the elder mean?"
Mo Xiu didn't answer, the matter of the devil's fetus is secret, only a few demon emperors and his cronies know about them. These people were sent to deliver the fruit, and they said the word "magic fetus". He just assumed that the other party already knew the secret. .
But judging from the expressions of the few people just now, the so-called "magic fetus" is basically the other party's temptation, and he said it himself!
Regardless of whether these demons know the truth, he must control them first, and then confirm with the demon emperor. Even if he misunderstands the other party, he will apologize at that time.
There is no room for error in this matter!
At this moment, Jing Yue and the others understood that they were showing their feet, and they felt annoyed in their hearts.
But in the face of such a big event, even if the emptiness of the Sanjie Temple comes, it is difficult to keep the heart like water, and the face does not change, right
There is no time to regret it now, Jing Yue grabbed Wei Zhentu and Ruan Jiu and wanted to send them to the Haotian Realm, and the two would inform the people on duty of the Cold Cloud Sect.
But the moment he sensed Haotian Realm, suddenly, the connection was cut off.
