There are a bunch of wounded soldiers in the Holy Land, lying down and standing up.
Chi Xiaoduo checked the wounds one by one, all of them were wounded, Da Ke was the most seriously injured, he was hit by the gorefiend's claw on the chest, dripping with blood.
Followed by Zhou Maoguo, Zhou Maoguo was lying on the ground, fell into a coma, his body was covered in blood, Chi Xiaoduo fetched water, and washed Zhou Maoguo's body, the blood was not his own.
"Father!" Zhou Wanyuan shook her father.
"He's fine." Chi Xiaoduo said, "He's still alive, Sister Wanyuan, don't be nervous."
Fortunately, Zhou Maoguo was the last one to be swallowed by Taotie. After Jing Hao ate the last one, it was obviously unsustainable, unable to digest and absorb too many monsters. Zhou Maoguo kept his body intact and was spat out, still breathing.
"It may be a mild concussion." Feng Li said after the examination: "It needs to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible."
Xiang Cheng walked out of the hall, half of his body was pitch black exuding demonic energy, while his half of his body radiated golden light outward.
"Call the fastest bird." Xiang Cheng said, "Take them to Chongqing."
An eagle flew over and landed on the ground. Cao Bin and Xiang Cheng worked together to tie Zhou Maoguo and put him on the eagle's back.
Chi Xiaoduo bandaged Koda inside, and Koda whispered, "No, no, wait for Feng Li to come over."
"I'm going to die." Chi Xiaoduo whispered, "Is it really okay?"
Koda patted himself on the chest, indicating that it had nothing to do with it, and said, "Quick, do me a favor and cooperate."
Chi Xiaoduo thought for a while, and exclaimed in an exaggerated voice: "Kaoda—Kaoda—don't die—"
Xiang Cheng and Feng Li heard it outside.
"Go and see him." Xiang Cheng ordered.
Feng Li walked quickly into the hall, Da Ke immediately tilted his head and fell into Chi Xiaoduo's arms.
Feng Li: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo said cautiously: "You'd better take a look, the situation is not very good."
Feng Li knelt down on one knee, and Chi Xiaoduo moved half of Koda's body onto Feng Li's body with difficulty, letting him rest on Feng Li's thigh, and Feng Li looked at Koda expressionlessly.
Xiang Cheng didn't know where he went, Chi Xiaoduo was aching all over, and stood outside the hall for a while, Cao Bin stood behind him.
"Did you see Xiang Cheng?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"No." Cao Bin replied.
"Jing Hao has already been executed." Chi Xiaoduo replied, "Thanks for your hard work."
"Yes." Cao Bin nodded, stretched out his hand, and said to Chi Xiaoduo, "Thank you, I'm sorry, I have caused so much trouble for everyone."
Cao Bin, wearing fingerless gloves, shook hands with Chi Xiaoduo.
"Stop blaming yourself." Chi Xiaoduo said lightly, "There are many things that can't be helped, and we never blamed you."
They sat down on the steps side by side, and Chi Xiaoduo said, "Are you planning to go back to the Drive Commission?"
"What?" Cao Bin was a little dazed, and after thinking about it, he replied, "No, I am no longer the person who dismissed the committee, I was fired."
Chi Xiaoduo said: "But you solved Jing Hao's trouble, so you should be able to re-enter the job."
"No." Cao Bin shook his head and said, "The Advancement and Drive Committee relies on family relationships. Lafayette has done his utmost to our Cao family."
Chi Xiaoduo didn't seem to have heard Cao Bin mention anything about his family, so he asked curiously, "Is your family also an aristocratic family?"
Cao Bin pondered for a while, and Chi Xiaoduo hurriedly said, "I offended you."
"It doesn't matter." Cao Bin replied: "In our family blood, there is a special ability, which is a bit like that of a blood demon. It is called 'Wanmu Resurrection', which allows me to regenerate continuously."
"Like Wolverine?" Chi Xiaoduo laughed.
"Yes." Cao Bin also laughed, and made a "wolf claw" movement with both hands, explaining: "But don't look at Wolverine, Wolverine is immortal, we will die."
"Yeah." Chi Xiaoduo nodded. Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural phenomena.
"Every time I regenerate, it will consume my lifespan." Cao Bin said: "So, I probably won't serve in the exorcism committee in the future."
"Ah!" Chi Xiaoduo was shocked, so it was like this
"Is your father still there?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"It's gone." Cao Bin replied: "My family doesn't have this kind of ability. In many generations, it depends on luck. Every time this ability appears, it has a special mission, so I'm a little Confused. I always feel that there is something waiting for me to do, but since I was a child, I can’t find a sense of direction.”
Chi Xiaoduo nodded and said, "In other words, your father doesn't have this ability, does he?"
Cao Bin nodded, and replied: "Grandfather, great-grandfather... They don't have it, so when I discovered the ability to heal myself, my parents were very happy, and felt that the Cao family could feel proud."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
"It's annoying." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Pin all my hopes on you."
Cao Bin smiled wryly, took a sip of mineral water, and said, "In the end, things got messed up. Fortunately, with you, we sorted out the trouble."
Chi Xiaoduo said a few words of comfort, and heard the sound of arguing in the hall.
"I'm helping your king find something!" Xuan Hezhi said.
"Do you need to dig pillars to find things?" The dead ghost king was obviously very angry.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Cheng came in.
Xiang Cheng still maintains the form of Fudo Mingwang. Seeing that Xuan Hezhi was wearing a bandage and using a Swiss Army knife, he must have been digging out the rubies inlaid on the pillars just now.
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Xuan He Zhi said: "I have traveled thousands of miles to accompany you on missions, is it easy for me? You are so rich, it won't matter if you give me a little."
"Can you not destroy the cultural relics?" Chi Xiaoduo said, "It's better to get a better one, or just move it away."
Xuan He Zhi said: "You are stupid, who am I going to sell the things to?"
When Cao Bin saw the birds flapping their wings on the altar, he motioned for Chi Xiaoduo to take a look.
Chi Xiaoduo carefully picked up Sigui, and Sigui started to burn, bursting out sparks.
Chi Xiaoduo: "Ah!"
"Did I ask you to dig something from the temple?" Xiang Cheng said.
"Stop arguing!" Chi Xiaoduo said, "I'm going to nirvana!"
Everyone: "..."
Sigui ignited a bright flame, and in that flame, there was a faint shape of a phoenix spreading its wings.
Everyone took out their mobile phones and started to record the effect of the phoenix's nirvana. The gorgeous flames spread out like prominences. In less than a minute, Sigui burned into ashes.
A chick appeared from the ashes, and Chi Xiaoduo was about to reach out to catch it, but Sigui left them and flew towards the mountains at dawn.
Even Sigui left.
At dawn, Feng Li came out of the temple, bowed and said, "I've searched all of them, but I didn't find the Vajra Arrow."
Xiang Cheng remained silent, holding hands with Chi Xiaoduo, and the two cuddled together. Xiang Cheng's left body was still pitch-black and exuded demonic energy, half of his body exuded golden light, and half of his body was blackened by the demon seed. Fortunately, the blackened area did not spread any further, and only concentrated on his left arm.
The sun has risen and shines on the holy land. The Ghoul King, Kun King, and Nine-Tailed Sky Fox are standing in front of the steps, surrounded by teammates resting in the square.
"What should I say next?" King Kun said, "I'll go if it's okay."
Xiang Cheng sat in front of the highest step, stared at the three of them, and said, "I have been human since I was a child."
"I have a family with someone, and I grew up with my father." Xiang Cheng said seriously: "My lover is a human being, and my mother used to be like this, falling in love with someone."
When Chi Xiaoduo heard this, he was so moved that he was about to cry.
"You put your hopes in me." Xiang Cheng said again: "I let you down, I'm sorry."
King Kun laughed it off, turned into a jet of black air and flew away, hovered in the northeast corner for a moment, entered the water, let out a roar, revealed a pitch-black back, dived into the bottom of the water, and left the holy place.
The ghost king who died in battle said, "Since you already want to die, why bother? There is just one thing that needs to be told."
Xiang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the ghost king.
The ghost king slowly walked up the steps, came in front of Xiang Cheng, and said: "Although the power of the phoenix helps you suppress the demon seed, it will not be catalyzed in advance, but the demon seed is still there. The last bit of demon power in the blood demon body has already disappeared." Inhaled by your great sun chakra."
"At this moment, you are co-existing with the Heavenly Demon. Three months later, on July 15th." The Ghost King said again: "The Heavenly Demon will completely occupy your body and complete the cycle of reincarnation. If you cannot suppress it at that time, you will be completely controlled by the Heavenly Demon."
"I see." Xiang Cheng replied.
Feng Li remained silent, and the dead ghost king said again: "My duty is to protect the holy land, and I have nothing to do with the demon clan's plan to invade the world, and that's all I can say."
With the sound of the armor, the dead ghost king jumped out of the temple area, summoned the bone horse, and rode back to the corpse clan palace in the southwest corner.
Qi Wei seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything. He let out a long breath. His teammates came over one after another and sat on the stone steps. The temple was facing southeast. , I couldn't say anything for a while.
Koda said, "I have to say hello to Beijing, now I'm in big trouble."
Xiang Cheng said, "What do you think?"
Cao Bin was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's impossible to let go of such a big goal. I'll try my best to solve the problem in Beijing. Anyway, before I officially leave, I have to report back about Jing Hao."
Qi Wei said: "My idea is to reseal the holy land into the mountain, pile up the mountain, and put a seal on it."
Chi Xiaoduo asked: "But what to do with so many monsters?"
"There is a lot of spiritual power here." Koda Chaochi Xiaoduo replied: "With earth veins, you can practice without eating people."
Xiang Cheng replied: "I will go out sooner or later. Once I leave the mountain, it will be another bloodbath."
"I can restrain them for you." Feng Li said suddenly: "If you need."
Several people looked at Feng Li.
Feng Li replied: "The blood demon is gone, and Wang Lei has fled. A mere Wang Lei is no match for me and the ghost king. Just let the holy land escape the inspection of the exorcists and thrive in the mountains, it's easy to say."
After finishing speaking, Feng Li bowed slightly to Xiang Cheng.
Xiang Cheng looked at Feng Li and didn't say a word for a long time.
At noon that day, Qi Wei manipulated the map of mountains, rivers, and land, and the ancient magic weapon shone brilliantly. The mountains and the earth moved, the holy land sank into the mountain again, and the ground shook violently.
The power of good fortune moved mountains and filled the sea, and the trees collapsed, as if they had experienced a mudslide. The appearance was the same as before.
Cao Bin gathered the exorcists who came out for the mission, returned to Chongqing to complete the mission, and then returned to Beijing.
Xiang Cheng stood in front of the cliff, staring at the mountains, silent.
"You don't have to follow me anymore." Xiang Cheng said suddenly.
Feng Li said: "The ghost king is willing to take responsibility for me for the time being, and for the next three months..."
"No." Xiang Cheng turned around and said, "All the members of the Yaozu will be entrusted to you."
Xiang Cheng looked into Feng Li's eyes and said, "I know you have a sense of proportion. You grew up in the human world, and you know what to do and what not to do. Gegento is like Leda, things about the Holy Land , I will trouble you."
Feng Li remained silent.
Xiang Cheng stood up, took Chi Xiaoduo's hand, and walked slowly down the mountain road, Lang Quan quickly followed.
"You don't want to follow." Xiang Cheng said, "Go back, Xiaoduo will come to you."
Lang Quan whined a few times, Chi Xiaoduo thought about it, and said to Lang Quan, "Go back."
Lang Dog had to stop, and Chi Xiaoduo stroked its head and said, "Good boy, I'll be back."
Xiang Cheng took Chi Xiaoduo down the mountain, and the golden light on his body disappeared into the mountains.
Day and night, the off-road vehicle was driving on the mountain road to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Chi Xiaoduo woke up in the passenger seat.
"Where do you think the Diamond Arrow is?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
Xiang Cheng shrugged and smiled at Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo said wearily: "Don't say anything like we're going to be together for three months..."
"How did you know I wanted to say this?" Xiang Cheng asked.
Chi Xiaoduo looked at the road ahead in a daze, and the dog in the back seat was sleeping on its stomach.
"There must be a way." Chi Xiaoduo said to himself.
The morning sun reflects the rising and falling mountains, and under the distant sky, birds fly all over the sky and towards the mountains of Wushan. Form a spectacular and grand scene. Xiang Cheng drove the car intently, as if they were the only ones left in the world, driving in the vast forests and mountains, the human society was so far away from them.
"I remember you asked me." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Would you like to go home with you in the future?"
"Huh?" Xiang Cheng shifted gears absently.
Chi Xiaoduo replied: "Actually, I really like this place. Let's go back to live in the Holy Land when we have time."
Xiang Cheng: "Do you like the countryside?"
Chi Xiaoduo: "Well, although the transportation is inconvenient, if you become the boss of the monsters... I think it's not bad if we live in the Holy Land."
Xiang Cheng replied: "I'm afraid that after I become a demon, I will no longer have myself."
"Not necessarily." Chi Xiaoduo said in a daze, "What were the demons in the past like? Did they also lose their will?"
Chi Xiaoduo sometimes feels that there is actually no such clear dividing line between the monster race and the human race. As long as he does not do evil, then even if Xiang Cheng becomes a big devil with a black body, sitting on the throne of the Holy Land, he will be a monster. The emperor is also good.
He is even willing to accompany Xiang Cheng, live in the Holy Land, and make a plan for the worst... If Xiang Cheng also becomes that cloud of black energy, then Chi Xiaoduo is also willing to be a little monster like a blood demon, Try to see if you can control the demon so that it will not cause any bad results to humans and monsters.
"Where are we going now?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"I don't know." Xiang Cheng said, "Just open it casually, wanting to be quiet."
"Let's go to Chengdu." Xiang Cheng said, "By the way, let's relax. The Ghost Festival is still three months away."
Chi Xiaoduo glanced at his phone, it was a text message from Cao Bin.
[The search warrant has not been lifted, so don't show up for now.]
Three days later, Chengdu.
In late spring, when the Minjiang River was warm and under the Dujiangyan, Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo were having dinner in a small restaurant. Xiang Cheng ironed the dishes for Chi Xiaoduo, and Chi Xiaoduo looked through his notes.
"Here is a hidden master." Xiang Cheng said, "Maybe he can answer some of our questions."
"Who is it?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"What are you looking at?" Xiang Cheng looked at Chi Xiaoduo's notebook, and Chi Xiaoduo added annotations to the last few pages of the notebook - it was the monster illustration handed over by Zheng Que.
Dead Kun, Yin-Yang Transformation Fox, Black-Winged Roc Bird, War Dead Ghost King, Wushan Spirit... In less than a year, Chi Xiaoduo actually collected almost all the information on them.
"The Spirit of Wushan..." Chi Xiaoduo hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiang Cheng.
"It's my mother." Xiang Cheng replied, "Humans call her the Goddess of Wushan."
Chi Xiaoduo still didn't understand a little bit, and said: "She has been sleeping in the Holy Land, is that so? I think she..."
Xiang Cheng fell into deep thought, nodded his head, it's fine if Chi Xiaoduo wanted to remember monsters, but he still hesitated to write his boyfriend's mother. Seeing that he was hesitating, Xiang Cheng said, "You write."
"Forget about the privacy of the parties involved." Chi Xiaoduo laughed.
"Let's write." Xiang Cheng said, "Ask if you don't understand anything."
Chi Xiaoduo was very confused, Xiang Cheng thought for a while, and took the initiative to say: "Mom, her duty is to give birth to the next generation of demons with Ba Snake. A thousand years ago, King Kun attracted exorcists and captured the Holy Land. That At that time, Xiang Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiang family, shot Ba Snake to death and sealed Yao Ji. But back then, the incomplete demon was rescued by Feng Li and Hu Xinyang's parents."
"...The purpose of the ancestors was to completely kill the demons." Xiang Cheng explained: "So we left behind a family motto, which is a form of reincarnation. The hidden danger has been completely resolved.”
Chi Xiaoduo said, "That's why Dad released Mom."
"Well." Xiang Cheng said: "After giving birth to me, my mother remembered the past... Most of the rest are my guesses. She wants to end this reincarnation, and I'm afraid that after returning to the Holy Land, there will only be demons. Without the Heavenly Demon Body, the Holy Land will start investigating the whereabouts of the Ba Snake Soul."
"But the matter has already started, and there is no turning back. While hiding the truth from the blood demon, she came back at a risk and put the demon seed into the snake soul."
Chi Xiaoduo said, "What happened next?"
"Later she was not by my side." Xiang Cheng said: "The devil seed began to conceive, and I became more and more uncomfortable... Dad and Mr. Zhou tried their best, I think... At that time, Mom must know."
"She should be able to sense it." Chi Xiaoduo said, "I think there must be a connection between the demon seed and the demon body and her."
Xiang Cheng nodded and said, "Zhou Maoguo reported my illness to the eviction committee, and the eviction committee set up a trap to catch her. She thought it was my father who betrayed her... That's why she hated her so much."
Chi Xiaoduo closed the notebook and said nothing, Xiang Cheng said, "Go ahead and write."
"No more." Chi Xiaoduo shook his head.
This is a family matter of Xiang Cheng's family, and Chi Xiaoduo didn't want to write it in. Xiang Cheng said: "I guess, in the end, my mother used a spell to suppress the magic seed in my body, so that it would not be noticed by anyone... so I survived." gone."
"Is that the time under the cliff, by the river?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"Maybe." Xiang Cheng said, "She also took away the Vajra Arrow."
"But where is the Vajra Arrow?" Chi Xiaoduo asked suspiciously, "She never returned to the Holy Land, nor did she give it to anyone. Could it be that she fell into the river and was washed away?"
"Impossible." Xiang Cheng said, "The exorcists must have searched that area, and so has my father, and she wouldn't just throw the diamond arrow somewhere."
"Wait." Chi Xiaoduo vaguely caught a certain detail.
"When she took away the Vajra Arrow..." Chi Xiaoduo said, "I remember what she said."
"It's what she said in my memory." Xiang Cheng said, "It's not true."
"Not real?" Chi Xiaoduo asked inexplicably.
"The she you saw was the one in my memory." Xiang Cheng said, "My memory of what she said that day has been blurred... Bashan Yeyu... At the moment of her death, my spirit was greatly affected. Big shock. So I too... can only say that's the last impression I have of her."
Chi Xiaoduo understood, and replied: "In other words, those few words may not be what she really meant."
"Not necessarily." Xiang Cheng sighed, and replied: "I think she probably meant that, but the language of expression is different."
The waiter served the food, Xiang Cheng scooped up soup for Chi Xiaoduo, and Chi Xiaoduo served Xiang Cheng's meal. Chi Xiaoduo always felt that he hadn't figured it out, and the point that he hadn't figured out was crucial.
"I want to go back to Beijing." Chi Xiaoduo said.
Xiang Cheng hummed absently, and Chi Xiaoduo said, "Do you remember the task Mr. Zheng gave you?"
Xiang Cheng suddenly realized something, looked at Chi Xiaoduo, Chi Xiaoduo nodded, and said, "Yes, it's a coincidence, isn't it?"
Chi Xiaoduo laughed.
"Yeah." Xiang Cheng said, "A demon seed, information about five big monsters, and a knife made with the power of the stars."
Chi Xiaoduo said, "What a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence." Xiang Cheng murmured, "He must know something."
Chi Xiaoduo hummed, and said, "I plan to give him everything, maybe he can help us."
