This time, Ye Wuzong was so dizzy that he couldn't refuse the witch doctor's treatment. Sisi secretly arranged for a witch doctor to treat him.
When the family went to visit him, the old man had already woken up and was in the house throwing a tantrum: "I have been a clean man all my life, but I never thought that I would be unclean in my old age..."
Sisi: “…”
Zhao Changhe poked his head out and said, "The fact that you can talk about being a virgin so confidently is what I admire most about you seniors."
"?" Ye Wuzong was jumping up and down inside: "I'm talking about a bunch of messy poisonous insect blood in my body, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Changhe put his hands in his pockets and did not answer. After the three of them entered the house, they asked together, "Master, are you in good health?"
Ye Wuzong was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Changhe, then at Yue Hongling, with an extremely strange expression.
Why are you two calling me Master? Even though your expressions are a little shy, you are still quite serious.
Especially Yue Hongling... Are we familiar with each other? This is definitely Zhao Changhe following his wife's call, and the other wife has no choice but to call her husband. So, rounding it off, the Four Elephants Sect has to call me Master, right
Ye Wuzong almost floated in the air, feeling extremely happy: "Changhe, please collect a few more, the higher the status, the better."
Sisi raised her eyebrows: "Which side are you from?"
Ye Wuzong coughed dryly: "Ahem... I'm not feeling well..."
"…" Sisi was furious but she was not sure whether her master was really fine or not. She could not lose her temper and could only say medicine with a sour face: "How is it now?"
Ye Wuzong smiled and said, "I couldn't handle Yin Kui's backlash. I really won't live long this time."
Sisi was silent for a moment: "Don't joke."
"I'm not kidding. I told you before that my life span is almost up and my body is declining. Unless I break the defense, it will be over." Ye Wuzong drank the medicine leisurely, his tone was very relaxed: "It's said that in this world of gods and demons, we are mortals after all, and mortals have their limits, especially life span. I also have a master, who was also a strong man on the Earth List. Guess how he died?"
Sisi tried to answer, "When he got old, his speed decreased, and he died because his theft was exposed?"
"You're wrong. He couldn't stand the fact that he no longer had the speed he once had. He looked like an old and useless turtle, so he committed suicide."
Sisi: “…”
Zhao Changhe suddenly thought of the current King of Penglai, Hai Changkong. He was fifty years old, and his physical functions began to decline, so he lost his spirit and no longer had the heart to enter Shenzhou. His master Hai Pinglan was the same. The reason why he raised the final roar and died with the enemy was because he was too old to die.
Even Xia Longyuan had this feeling. If he could survive in the end, of course he could, but that would mean he was barely surviving under the protection of his daughter and son-in-law. Old Xia couldn't stand it and would rather die with the Four Swords and leave a final glory.
In the world of martial arts, people are too influenced by their bodies and ultimately they cannot become immortals.
Sisi said: "But you have already obtained the triple secret storage, can't you strive for the Peeping Guard?"
"Everyone has different strengths. My secret treasures are nothing more than wind and speed, which have limited effects on lifespan. People like Yuxu can live longer. As for Po Yu, he is in such a state that he has no confidence." Ye Wuzong said leisurely, "In fact, even if it is Po Yu, they would have died long ago if they did not have treasures to protect them. Even if they did have treasures to protect them, they would only be at the level of 'lingering ghosts'. Their bodies would still be as dilapidated and ugly as a mummy. It is not true immortality at all. What's the point of living like this? Okay, don't be childish about such trivial matters. Let's talk about something serious."
Then he looked at Zhao Changhe and said, "Are you here to ask about the divine axe?"
Zhao Changhe calmed down and replied, "I think Senior... Oh, Master, you came here with the magic axe because you may have known something and came here on purpose."
Ye Wuzong shook his head and said, "How can I know what is thousands of miles away... I brought the axe here purely because Kunlun was too chaotic. Bringing the magic axe to Kunlun is like sending food. I should have found a place, either to go directly to the capital to send you, or to come to find a disciple... Then how close did I have to be to you at that time to send you the magic weapon?"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
I overestimated you, I thought you were so far-sighted... But it wasn't just luck that the Divine Axe got here, it was inevitable because Ye Wuzong had no other choice. The first problem was that "Kunlun was too chaotic."
"Kunlun has been a place of communication between heaven and earth since ancient times, and it is vast enough. If there is a heaven, then after the heaven collapsed and scattered, the most fragments would naturally be scattered in Kunlun." Ye Wuzong leaned back in his chair and sipped his medicine, and said slowly: "You also saw it before, any alchemy room became a small secret realm, any mountain belly is a small secret realm, and there is a big secret realm in Yuxu Peak... This area is only around Yuxu Peak, so how many are there in Kunlun of thousands of miles?"
Zhao Changhe said: "So the senior lived in seclusion in Kunlun, also to seek fortune and improvement."
"Who isn't? Kunlun gathers so many villains, who isn't here for good fortune? I'm one of the villains too, how long has the Demon Suppression Division put up a wanted order?"
"… "
Ye Wuzong sighed, "Let's talk about Yuxu Cloud Water House with three rooms, poetry and wine, fishermen and woodcutters, seemingly free from worldly desires, but if they are really so indifferent, why bother to stay in Kunlun? I am smiling in the market, cooking a pot of chaos and enjoying myself. I clearly want to be full, but I think I am not that vulgar. I don't know if I am deceiving others or myself."
This made both himself and Yuxu laugh. Zhao Changhe thought for a moment and said with a smile, "That's the attitude towards life. Life is life, and work is work. It's not called cheating others or yourself."
"Oh, you can say nice things." Ye Wuzong knew that this was different from his life and work, but he felt comfortable wearing such a compliment, so he didn't argue. He just said, "What Yuxu wants is nothing more than a road to heaven. As for Buddhism and Taoism, they really have the idea of 'becoming immortal'. Once people have something to ask for, they naturally don't do many things on their own. He can give up the heavenly book, but he can't give up the Taoist tradition. This is his contradiction."
Zhao Changhe asked, "Is the person behind him a certain ancient Taoist master?"
"Most likely, I don't know the specific name, let's just call him Dao Zun. But I can't guess what the relationship between the two sides is and what Yuxu plans to do. But one thing I can tell you is that you must not enter Kunlun without permission now." Ye Wuzong's expression became serious: "When Yuxu allowed you to take the heavenly book, his relationship with the gods and demons behind him was extremely tense. Even I know about it. If you enter Kunlun again, there are only two outcomes..."
Zhao Changhe added: "Either Yuxu compromises with him and takes my life together; or I try to make Yuxu break up with him."
"The possibility of the former is as high as 80%. I suggest you don't consider the latter." Ye Wuzong said: "Why do I say Kunlun is in chaos? Because first of all, the current gods and demons are reviving in large numbers. They are no longer hiding behind the scenes and controlling remotely like in the early years. They are already standing in front of the stage. How many of those evil people in Kunlun can always listen to Yuxu? In my estimation, it is more likely that Yuxu will be under the command of Daozun. His resistance is too gentle. He may not be able to control the situation today. Otherwise, I would not have to run away."
Is it…
Zhao Changhe didn't say much, just asked: "What's next?"
"Secondly, as I said just now, Kunlun is very big and has many secret realms." Ye Wuzong said, "That is to say, there are other demon gods behind it, not necessarily just Daozun. For example, the lair of Listening Snow Tower is hidden in Tianshan Mountain, and the bandit brotherhood is powerful in the Hexi Corridor. Don't they have something behind them? Just like the assassin from Listening Snow Tower who appeared this time, why is he with Yin Kui? Yin Kui is already very strong, but since he would personally go to such a risk to act as a vanguard, even if he is not taking orders from anyone, at least he is in a secondary position in the cooperation with the demon gods, and there are more powerful people behind him."
Zhao Changhe said: "Based on the properties of Tingxue Tower, it actually has some similarities with you. Has the other party looked for you? This is the reason why you fled Kunlun."
Ye Wuzong clapped his hands and smiled, "That's right. Did you know that Yin Kui's body has disappeared?"
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Did he escape alive? Or was he stolen?"
"He is really dead, but he should have become someone else's corpse." Ye Wuzong said calmly: "You said before that you didn't know if Yin Kui was qualified to be the Underworld Emperor. I tell you clearly that he is not. In front of Jiuyou, Yin Kui is at most a subordinate of the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Guards."
"Jiuyou?"
"Yes, she represents extinction, death, and... chaos."
Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling looked at each other and nodded.
Chaos, this is it. There must be a god or demon that represents chaos, and it turns out it is here.
It didn't matter that Yin Kui was trained into a corpse puppet. Dead is dead. Dead things and living things are two different things after all. There is no regret. The name Jiuyou has appeared many times as the background board of Ye Di in the Four Symbols Sect's scriptures that he was punished to copy, such as "Ye Di defeated Jiuyou at the North Pole", but there is no more specific story. After all, the scriptures of the Four Symbols Sect are not very complete. If they were complete, there would be no need to search the soul of Xue Wu to find the way to control the realm.
"When her name appeared in Kunlun, some people initially thought she was the Night Emperor, but in fact the Night Emperor is very rule-abiding, while she is the opposite... If my guess is correct, she is more likely to be the Night Emperor's mortal enemy." Ye Wuzong paused here, looked at Sisi and Yue Hongling again, and smiled ambiguously: "Note, she is a woman."
"Huh?" The three members of the family opened their mouths wide, including Zhao Changhe himself.
Of all the demons known so far, only Piaomiao is a female. In the last era, Piaomiao was a spirit rather than a human. That is to say, all the normal demons we know are male. Subconsciously, everyone thinks this is a man, but when they hear the word "female", they are a little uncomfortable for a while.
Although it's not something you're used to, it's not surprising. Who says that all demons are men? Another thing that really makes everyone think about it is whether the Night Emperor is a woman
I never thought about it before, but now I realize that it is probably a woman... Shuanghua is the Night Emperor's guard, note "guard" rather than "maid", under normal circumstances, guards do not need to deliberately select women, and they do not accept them, allowing her to fall in love with the scumbag Qinglong. If the Night Emperor is a man, this kind of thing will probably not happen... There is only one possibility, that is, the Night Emperor himself is a woman, and women must choose female guards and do not accept them, and only women have an inexplicable enthusiasm for things like matchmaking their subordinates.
According to the yin and yang correspondence of day and night, night is yin, so it is normal for a girl to be the one.
And Jiuyou might not just be Yedi's enemy. With her attributes, she is also likely to be an enemy of Piaomiao. Based on the saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Yedi is likely to be a friend of Piaomiao...
Ye Wuzong said: "Jiuyou and Daozun are obviously not in the same group, and no one knows whether there is a third party. Kunlun is now a whirlpool, and anyone who gets into it may be doomed."
Zhao Changhe secretly thought that there was at least one third party, Bo Xun... But he couldn't be sure whether it was a complete third party or had something to do with any other party. It seemed really messy, a mess.
Ye Wuzong suddenly changed the subject: "You are so interested in Kunlun, do you think that in order to defeat the Northern Barbarians, we must first open up the Western Regions?"
Zhao Changhe came back to his senses and nodded, "At least this has a lot to do with the Li family. I don't believe they have no contact at all."
"I think that you should deal with the mess over there later. The Li family is just a secular family. How much can they be involved in these chaotic battles between gods and demons? Even if they have contact, they are just at the level of secular agents... Besides, on the surface, they are leaning towards Changshengtian, not Kunlun and others."
Zhao Changhe asked: "Does Changshengtian have nothing to do with this?"
"Nothing to do with it. If anything, it is somehow connected to the spirit race." Ye Wuzong said this with a serious look, "Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with this little world of the spirit race secret realm? It is very likely not part of the ancient heaven, and is not connected to the other fragments."
Zhao Changhe was full of admiration in his heart. He had come to this conclusion after making many comparisons with the "Atlas of Mountains and Rivers" by the ancient Xuanwu. It was amazing that this old man could see the trick even though he was in the middle of it.
Sisi was shocked and asked, "Master, why do you say that?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Yin Kui's last move was to revive not any of your ancient strongmen, but this world. The Spirit Clan Secret Realm is an independent world, and the world itself is your ancestor. It is very likely that he was killed by the Heavenly Dao here, forming an additional world. This magic axe may not be Changshengtian's magic axe, but yours... On the contrary, it was after Changshengtian God obtained this magic axe that he cultivated the power of gods and demons. The elders in your clan all think that this axe is predestined with the Spirit Clan. Maybe it's not greed for treasures, but they really have some sense of it."
Sisi suddenly stood up, paced back and forth with a frown on her face.
In fact, from Zhao Changhe's attitude last time, she had some guesses... But if it has evolved into heaven and earth, then there should be no problem. Many ethnic groups in the world have similar legends. But if her own family can be resurrected, then her life will be in danger. Who knows the feeling when the earth sits up? If there is no advance preparation, then the moment the "ancestor" gets up, all life will die.
Sure enough, my decision to try to go out was correct. From now on, the Spirit Tribe must gradually migrate, and the Spirit Tribe Secret Realm can only serve as a strategic base, an existence similar to other people's "old houses", rather than a main living point. Fortunately, the situation in Miaojiang is now under control, as if it is ready for the relay.
At the same time, Zhao Changhe was also thinking that the Gu of the Spiritual Clan had a flavor of law, just like the law of cause and effect, and it went beyond everyone's conventional understanding of the human body. This was another type of law that was completely different from the Heavenly Dao system that everyone practiced, and was at most half a level weaker than the Heavenly Dao.
The motto I saw in the Eldar texts when I was looking for it, "The Vermillion Bird and the White Tiger meet in the southwest wilderness", is very likely to be directly related to the revival of this place. No matter when it refers to, it can basically be regarded as inevitable.
To migrate the elves is not a difficult task given the current prestige and control. In fact, the most troublesome thing is that if a terrestrial-level tough guy is resurrected, no one can stop him even if he steps into China. What should we do then
Jiuyou and Yin Kui actually want to revive even this, aren’t they afraid of death
Are you really crazy about wanting chaos? Or are you confident that you can control even this kind of existence
Ye Wuzong was saying: "In this case, you must thoroughly understand this axe. It must be the key to the future."
Zhao Changhe said: "When I swung the axe before, I didn't feel the presence of the axe spirit. Senior, do you have any advice?"
"It has a spirit, but it's different from the sword spirits we know of conventionally, because its spirit has dispersed but it's not dead, it's in a state of being neither alive nor dead." Ye Wuzong said, "No one can make it recognize its master. If you force it to recognize its master, it will only be backfired like me. So Bo'e was not its master at all. To put it bluntly, it's not an exaggeration to say that Bo'e was its pendant."
Zhao Changhe nodded. In fact, when he swung the axe before, he was also a pendant of the divine axe.
Ye Wuzong said: "Since you are close to lightning, you can follow it and help it to exert its due ability, then it will regard you as a partner, allowing you to use it, let you learn from it and comprehend some of the power of lightning, and so on..."
Zhao Changhe felt that it sounded very familiar. Sure enough, Longque's contempt came from the ring: "How could this small fry imitate me..."
The giant axe stood upright in the ring. The shadow of the axe handle was thicker than the blade of Longque. Longque stopped talking.
Ye Wuzong had no idea that there was a small theater in Zhao Changhe's ring, and he was still introducing: "As for really getting its recognition, it may take some more steps. As far as I know, Changshengtian Holy Mountain should have a related altar, or it may be related."
Sisi asked, "Where is the Holy Mountain of Changshengtian?"
Yue Hongling said: "When I was outside the Great Wall, I asked about it. In the northern desert, there is a mountain called Langjuxu, where the Temple of the Eternal Heaven is located."
Both women looked at Zhao Changhe.
Although I don't know how the southwest and the northeast, which are so far apart, are connected, if I want to uncover the secret, I still have to focus on Zhao Changhe's fundamental goal.
Drink horses in Hanhai, seal the wolf's lair. Go west to the Yellow River, and list the counties in Qilian.
Ye Wuzong finally felt a little sleepy and whispered, "I have told you everything I know... I will teach you a few things while I still have some strength."
Sisi pursed her lips: "Master, you should take a rest first..."
"No need." Ye Wuzong said lazily: "If you can govern Miaojiang well and let me sleep comfortably by the Erhai Lake, that would be the greatest filial piety."
Sisi said nothing.
Ye Wuzong looked at Zhao Changhe and said, "My stuff was not originally suitable for you. When I taught you Crane Controlling Skill, it was the only skill I could let you use. But I accidentally discovered that you learned some of my Qinggong. How the hell did you learn it? I believe it was not taught by Sisi, because some of the essences you used were not even known to Sisi at that time."
Zhao Changhe wiped his sweat and asked, "Can I tell you what I learned secretly from the heavenly book?"
Ye Wuzong didn't care: "Since we all started to study the realm of control, we naturally know that kung fu is just a summary and application of the essence. My things can indeed be used by you, so it's not surprising. Since the three of you have called me Master, then I will pass on this essence to you. How much you can understand depends on your individual suitability."
Yue Hongling had heard that he was going to teach him martial arts and wanted to say goodbye, but when he heard this, he asked in surprise, "Can I learn it, too?"
"Of course." Ye Wuzong rolled his eyes. "It's as if you can't learn from each other if I don't teach you. Where are you?"
Zhao Changhe thought and lowered his head without saying anything.
Yue Hongling held it in for a long time, and finally asked: "What did you learn?"
"Wind Control." Ye Wuzong said slowly, "Have you seen a demon god called Feng Yin? I hope you can let him know next time that different winds are different... This is the old man's last wish."
