Chapter 40: The Devil's Awakening
Wushuang stood in front of the human-shaped stone sculpture and took a closer look. No matter how he looked, he felt that the stone sculpture looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
The carved stone statue of a man, with a cold smile on his face. The man squinted his fox eyes, pointed chin, and a classical robe that covered his feet, just like a skirt. I don’t know how long the stone statue has been poked here, but it seems to have a color on it. However, after so many years of wind and rain, it has long been the color of the clothes on the stone sculpture have fallen out, but it can still be seen that the green spots appear on his dress.
"A man in a green skirt?"
"Brother Shuang, it doesn't matter what this person wears. Look at his feet?" Na Xiu was more careful than Wushuang.
Yes, this man's feet are so strange. It's not his shoes, but... he has no feet! His two feet are connected to the earth like a tree root. There are many tentacles distributed in small retreats, just like the rhizomes of trees, inserted into the ground and soil.
"Damn! Grandma, no wonder it looks so familiar! I know whose statue this is!" Wushuang suddenly realized.
"who?"
He said word by word: "Qing Emperor! Qingfu!"
"Qing Emperor? Is the four ancient emperors who were said to have joined forces with the Red Emperor to seal Baidi Antumei? How could he be here?" The two finally understood, no wonder there was a Tiantu tree on Tiandu Peak that could bear the fruit of heaven.
If there is such a tree king in this world, it will definitely be transformed from Qingfu's body! Because according to legend, Qing Emperor mastered the way of growth of all things in nature, and he is also called the Green Immortal. Wherever he goes, even in the desert, a piece of grass and flowers will grow, and even on the Gobi Desert, towering trees will grow. This is his power. Like Baidi, their power comes from Nuwa.
In ancient times, Nuwa created humans, Pangu opened the sky, and at that time, chaos had just begun to open. The world was vast and there was nothing. In order to balance this world, Nuwa deliberately left four heaven-repairing divine stones in the mortal world when repairing the sky. Each divine stone later turned into an emperor. Some had cold power, some had scorching flames, and some had medical skills to benefit the people and resurrect the dead. What Qingfu has was the natural power that could make the world full of greenness and change its vitality!
Among the four forces, only Huangdi's mysterious medical skills can be mastered by humans, and the other three forces are used to coordinate the world. Therefore, in the dark, this also destined the demise of the other three emperors and the fate of Huangdi unifying China.
"No wonder? No wonder we saw the phoenix tree and phoenix roots in the ancient ruins of Lingzhou City. I thought it was the foundation of the Qing Emperor! It turned out that the Qing Emperor was not there. The only thing buried under the Dajue Temple in Lingzhou City was his soul. This Tiandu Mountain is his body!" Wushuang said to himself, his eyes staring at Tiandu Peak surrounded by clouds.
"It seems that we are going to have big trouble. He is the Four Ancient Emperors! His body is always dead, but even the little energy left in his body is enough to kill us two intruders." Na Xiu was very depressed. He believed in Wushuang and himself. However, those are the Four Ancient Emperors! No matter how powerful they are, they are still mortals, how can they compete with Qingfu?
"Qingfu! Qingfu! I finally found you!" An inexplicably cold word suddenly came from Wushuang's throat. The sound was not made by him at all. It was like a woman, Antumei!
"Brother Shuang? Are you... are you okay? What did you say just now?" This sentence scared the swish. He looked at Wushuang in surprise and took several steps back. He was not an outsider, and he knew better than anyone else what was hidden in Wushuang's body. It was a terrible demon! Once she was released, no one in the world could stop her from being devastated.
"Hmm? Did I speak? No? Did you hear it wrong?" Wushuang's expression was natural, as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Shuang, you have to control the demon hidden in your body. Don't be retaliated by her. Nothing matters. What's important is that we can go back alive! Sister Caidie is still waiting for you!"
Wushuang said I knew, but what should come will always come, and no one could stop it. It was God's will to guide us to Tiandu Mountain and let the brother meet again. Why do we go against the will of heaven? If I was just her carrier, then she saved me countless times and I should avenge her!
It can be seen that Wushuang's words were not born from the heart. His subconscious mind was blurring. The demon sleeping in his soul was about to wake up. Perhaps, she would completely devour him!
"Let's go, why are you still standing there? Hurry up, what if Mu Qing has something, we will be in vain just now." Wushuang seemed very anxious, and he even wanted to find Qingfu's body immediately.
He didn't know why he became so anxious now. He was the most sober among everyone every time he explored, but this time, his brain was not under his control at all. A voice in his subconscious told him to kill Qingfu! You have this ability!
"Brother Shuang, is the temperature in the mountains lower than outside? Or is it because of you?" That swish didn't scare Wushuang. Wushuang did not deliberately stimulate the power of blood and soul in his body this time. His body was releasing cold air outward little by little. But he himself couldn't feel it. This was a sign of Antumei's awakening.
"Swish, wait for me here, don't go!" Wushuang said coldly.
"Why? Didn't you say I am your good brother? My father and son fight in battle! How could you say such things?" Looking at Wushuang, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, his eyes were filled with indifference.
"Obe obedient, don't go, believe me! I will try my best to come back alive. If you follow me up the mountain, you will drag me down!" Wushuang wanted to comfort Sui and pat his shoulder, but he stretched out his big hand and just wanted to fall, but he still took it back because he knew that the temperature of his body was too low now, and he saw that Sui's face had been frozen red by the cold air that he overflowed.
"Is this sentence a brother supposed to say? Or have you become her?" Na Xiu asked him persistently. No matter whether he is Wushuang or Bai Di Antumei, Na Xiu will not abandon him. Just as he once said, he will not abandon any companion, everyone will come back together! Even if it is a corpse, you will still take you back.
"Is there any difference? While I am still conscious and stay away from me, her power has saved me so many times. I think it's time for me to pay off my debts." The flowers and plants under Wushuang's feet were growing layer by layer, and the grass withered. The eyes in his eyes turned snow-white, cold and terrible.
