Chapter 85 Cangdi
As the stone wall slid to one side, the square entrance of the catacombs appeared in front of everyone. They walked down the stairs for a while and began to enter a damp and cold circular tunnel.
Ouyang Xiao Leng can easily tell that this is the direction leading to the white oak tree in the center of the city, and the blue demon fire lit up on both sides of the tunnel with their footsteps. Lingyu doesn't like this tunnel, because it is shaped like the abdominal cavity of a big snake, and they are like a feast in its belly.
The blue snake Xizhen walks very slowly. From time to time, his arms will support the wall on the side of the tunnel, gasp for a while, and then move on. They finally came to the open area. Everything here is pure white, just like what Dong Muya described. The white sand ground is very soft, and a curved emulsion-like river slowly flows with a burst of sweetness. Walking down the river is the place where the blue snake coffin is placed.
The wooden coffin is on a stone platform, which is also painted with white paint and tightly fastened, which makes people can't help but think about whether there will be someone lying in it.
Blue Snake Xizhen walked to the front of the coffin, stopped, stroked it with his hand, and pointed to it up and said, "We are standing under the center of Mucheng now. This is the place where I will sleep in the future."
Since entering this open land, Xia Qiu has been shocked by the wonders in front of her. She remembers that someone once said that human beings will pass through a long tunnel when they are dying and finally enter a place like heaven. Isn't the catacombs they live in just like heaven?
Ouyang Xiao Lengbian observed the tomb and thought about the suspiciousness since they entered Mucheng Xizhen. He faintly felt that the blue snake Xizhen was hiding something from them, but he did not dare to make a conclusion. The key problem now is that if you want to break the strange array, you have to destroy the material that makes up this array, and the array material belonging to Mucheng is the coffin of the blue snake in front of you. As soon as you come here, you have to ask if you can destroy other people's coffins.
But he thought about it. If he said the reason clearly, and the blue snake Xizhen did have nothing to do with the whole matter. According to her character and temperament, she should be able to agree to their requirements. On the contrary, if she tried her best to stop it, it means that there must be something wrong.
He made up his mind and said, "I have a request that may not sound respectful!"
Blue Snake Xizhen responded: "Oh? Please tell me!"
Ouyang Xiao said calmly, "As I said before, something in your tomb is related to Qingyun's plan, and that substance is your coffin. In order to ensure that his plan cannot be implemented, I'm afraid we have to destroy your coffin!"
"I don't quite understand!"
Blue Snake Xizhen said in a panic, and her face became unnatural. From her expression, she could see the complex emotions.
Ouyang Xiao Leng also increased his vigilance and asked, "I don't know if you have heard of Qilie's array?"
"No... I don't know!"
As soon as he heard the strange array, the blue snake Xizhen looked more and more flustered, and Ouyang Xiao Leng was also more convinced of his speculation. Just as he was about to continue to ask, a strange wind blew, rolled up the white sand on the ground and blurred his vision. Before he could figure out what had happened, several teenagers fainted.
About 4,000 years ago, the demon world was formed. There is no wooden city yet, and the blue snake Xizhen is just a little snake slightly thicker than a finger. Because a snake like it is very rare. Although it is highly poisonous, it can make a precious medicinal material in the medicinal wine that can greatly increase the power of the demon.
One day, it went out of the cave to look for food, but was chased by a group of little demons. First, it jumped into the pond, then got into a stone crevice, and then hid in a bush... I don't know how long it had escaped, but those greedy little demons still chased after it.
Gradually, it was bruised and exhausted, and the scenery in the eyes became hazy. A wisp of soft white light appeared in its sight. It climbed along the white light with all its last strength, and then unconsciously fell into a coma. When it woke up again, it found itself on a small tree, and the little demons that had chased it before had disappeared. It didn't recognize the name of the small tree with a white trunk, but it felt at ease when it was coiled on it.
Since then, the small tree has become its*. Throughout the day, it will rest on the tree or observe the world around it. At night, it will briefly go to the ground to forage for food. After being dependent on this little tree for a long time, they also seem to be able to have some kind of spiritual communication. Although this kind of moment is rare, occasionally talking to it can make it feel less lonely.
As the stars move, the small trees have grown into branches and leaves. There are often travelers who pass by to rest under the tree, and the little snake also hears more about the world from their mouths. In fact, it doesn't know that it is no longer a small snake at this time, but because the tree it lives in has also grown up, so it doesn't know how big its size has become.
One day, when listening to the monster under the tree talking about the method of cultivation, it suddenly opened its mind and quickly turned into a human shape. Then her own strength gradually appeared. She finally understood why those little demons wanted to catch her, and the toxins in its body played a role in the improvement of demon power like an accelerator. In order to become strong, she devoted herself to cultivation, and she couldn't hold anything else in her heart, and gradually stopped communicating with the little tree.
She stayed on the ground longer and longer, and she began to go to various places to find opponents who could learn about demons. Because she is beautiful and has a kind of worldly innocence, most opponents will deliberately release water to her. And she didn't know the truth. As the number of wins increased, she gradually became thicker. Her arrogance made her countless enemies. A group of monsters who had long seen her unpleasantly planned to sneak up on her, so as to make her into a medicinal wine that could greatly increase her demon power.
They took advantage of her spare hidden weapon to seriously hurt her. Although she was angry, she had to resist the pain and escape. The male yellow on the hidden weapon gradually entered the blood, and then penetrated into her internal organs through the blood. She gradually became unable to maintain a human posture. She felt how familiar this scene of being chased all the way was. It seemed that she had experienced the same thing a long time ago, and this time she didn't know if she would be lucky last time. Just as she was about to give up, a familiar white light appeared in front of her. Is it an illusion? She asked herself, but still tried to climb to the light.
When she woke up, she found herself coiled on the original tree, and a handsome man in white sat on the trunk beside her. The man had a pair of dark green eyes like leaves and was looking at her gently. When he saw her wake up, he finally showed a sigh of relief. The expression.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Me? I'm the tree!" He didn't say anything, but his voice came into her brain.
"I haven't heard your voice for a long time!" For the first time, she felt choked, as if the child who had been wronged outside finally returned home.
"My demonic power is weak, and it is difficult to maintain the human form. In fact, I've been trying to communicate with you, but your heart is gradually unwilling to receive the message I sent.
"What's your name?"
"I don't have a name, I only know that I am a white oak!"
"I heard that the god who is in charge of spring in the east of the world is called Cangdi, and I will call you Cangdi in the future!"
"Well, I like this name, so what's your name?"
"I want to give myself a monarch-like name. Cangdi is also called Mudi, so I want to build a wooden city here, and I won't abandon you again! From today on, I will be called Xizhen!"
Blue Snake Xizhen really didn't go back on her promise. She only left Mucheng once when the demon king Huli became the lord of the demon world. In the long years since then, she has never left here or the Cang Emperor. Emperor Cang can't appear in a human form at any time, so in order to see her at the first moment when he comes, she must stay by his body.
Time flies, and four thousand years are only in the fingers. Xizhen is born straightforward and bold, while the Cang Emperor is gentle and elegant. Although it is Xizhen in front of people, the wooden city can gradually grow, which is also inseparable from the silent protection and support of the Emperor Cang. She once thought that the two sessions would always live freely and happily in this city that belonged to them, but everything suddenly changed on that day.
Many years ago, acid rain began to rain around Mucheng, which was a phenomenon that had never appeared in the demon world, so no one can tell how the acid rain was formed. The water source and soil inside and outside the wooden city were seriously damaged, and the plants fell ill and died as a result. The Cangdi also began to become weak. The number of times he appeared in front of the blue snake Xizhen was also decreasing, and the longest time he could not see her for more than half a year.
Emperor Cang had saved Xizhen twice. She thought that if it hadn't been for Emperor Cang, she would have become a flavor of medicinal wine as early as 4,000 years ago. How could she watch him die? No matter what method she uses, she will save him. At first, she looked for ways to stop the acid rain, and then used her demonic power to detoxify the Emperor Cang. Over time, although she became more and more haggard, the acid rain was still not controlled. More and more people say that Mucheng has been cursed.
When she was at a loss, an uninvited guest quietly visited Qingyun, the most famous enemy in the demon world. She knew that he must have made a plan to appear at this time. Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked her to do something for him in exchange for helping her stop the acid rain.
Although the blue snake Xizhen did not want the Cang Emperor to die like this, as the owner of the wooden city, that is, the minister of the demon king fox, how could she betray the enemy with her temperament? Therefore, she refused at the beginning. Unexpectedly, Qingyun cast a spell to let her see the Cang Emperor in pain. Looking at him who was tortured, her whole heart was shaken in an instant.
Qingyun took the opportunity to say that since the death of the second-generation demon king fox Ouyang Xueye, the demon world has fallen into a situation of ownerlessness, so the demon king fox is not her current owner. Xizhen, who was full of relieving the Cang Emperor from pain, agreed to his condition: make the wooden city a city in the strange array, and the element of the array was his own coffin.
She didn't know why the strange array was exposed, let alone how easily the current demon king fox came to her. At the moment he and his companions appeared in front of her, she was already godless. Although she felt guilty, she had no way out.
Emperor Cang, just like his name, is her spring. For him, even if she wants her to be the enemy of the whole demon world, she will never regret it.
