"Don't worry about the tributes. Come and help me pack them up. If the rain doesn't fall by the beginning of Haishi, you and I will set off overnight."
Huo Yazi turned around and ordered Feiyan. He turned around and saw the broken ebony sword placed on the bill. He quickly stood up and carefully put the sword in the bag and packed it up. Then he squatted back and rubbed the millet with his buttocks out.
Cheng Yu, who was standing on the shoulders of the statue, could no longer care about the two masters and apprentices at his feet.
He was attracted by a tiny crack on the neck of the statue.
If it were an ordinary crack, it would be fine, but there is a trace of golden light seeping out of this crack. It would be difficult to detect it unless Cheng Yu was close by.
Could it be that...there is gold in the statue?
Cheng Yu tilted his head and observed carefully, and smelled the strange fragrance again, which was stronger than when he first entered the palace. It turned out that it was coming from the gap.
It smells so good.
The strange fragrance floated into Cheng Yu's nose like an invisible jade hand, causing Cheng Yu to feel dizzy. He took a step forward and then stretched out his mouth to peck at the gap like a ghost.
"Tuk Tuk!"
"Huh? What's the noise?"
Huo Yazi, who was rubbing millet on the ground, straightened up and asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's the rumor."
Feiyan was packing various food tributes in the corner of the palace and didn't even bother to answer.
Huo Yazi looked around at the windows and doors and found nothing unusual, so he continued to work with his butt raised.
The gap on the neck of the statue was pecked by Cheng Yu, and a strong golden light wrapped in black air shot out from it. The fragrance suddenly overflowed, and the golden light also had the meaning of flowing.
So delicious!
The flowing golden light seemed to be solid, and it actually stretched the gap wider and wider, and fine cracks of golden light spread rapidly on the neck of the statue.
The gap is getting bigger and bigger, and now it can be seen that the inside of the statue is hollow.
There is a mass of black energy swirling back and forth around a small golden pill inside, twisting into a ball, fighting left and right in the neck of the statue.
As if the golden pellet was spiritual, when the statue of the god opened it, it suddenly accelerated with a "buzz" sound, got rid of the black energy, and burst out from the gap.
The burst of black energy suddenly stagnated, and it froze in place as if it had lost its target. Then it was discovered that Xiaowan had flown outside the body of the statue, and it also flew out of the gap and chased after the golden Xiaowan.
At this time, in the hall, the Taoist master and the apprentice were picking up rice on the ground with their chins in their mouths. Above their heads was a golden light and black energy chasing each other endlessly. However, the two people on the ground were so engrossed that they didn't even know it.
Seeing that the black energy was moving faster, the chasing golden pill panicked and plunged into the mouth of Cheng Yu, who was landing on the shoulder of the statue.
Cheng Yu originally just stood and watched the play, but he never imagined that the protagonist was myself.
The small pill jumped into the mouth unreasonably, and streams of warm golden air overflowed from the gaps in Cheng Yu's beak.
Before Cheng Yu could taste it, the pellet slid down and fell into Cheng Yu's belly with a "gulu" sound.
Hmm?
Cheng Yu felt a drop in his stomach, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly took two steps back.
"Woo!"
The black energy with a faint fishy smell accelerated violently, and it looked like it was going to surround Cheng Yu and the pellets in his belly.
But when he rushed in front of Cheng Yu, he stopped with a sound of wind, and then began to shake in place.
In the end, the black air calmed down and hung still in the air, as if waiting for something.
In the dark atmosphere, Cheng Yu seemed to see a pair of dark pupils staring at him.
The only sound in the entire hall was the subtle rustling of two old Taoists on the ground picking up rice.
"Boom, boom!"
"Crack, click, click!"
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a majestic thunder exploded directly above the head, and the entire Dragon King Temple suddenly lit up, and it was several times brighter than daytime.
A bolt of silvery white and thick lightning struck instantly, penetrating the roof with a "crash" and hitting the gap that was pecked out on the neck of the statue.
The bricks and tiles on the roof were smashed into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Huo Yazi, who was pouting, was startled. He held his head and hurriedly stepped aside, pulling Feiyan and hiding in a corner, almost twisting his old waist.
Cheng Yu, on the other hand, didn't even cry out, flapping his wings and jumping up, relying only on instinct to avoid the lightning strike.
The mass of black energy that was confronting Cheng Yu let out a sharp roar, shaking the roof of the entire hall and making dust fall.
The black energy seemed to have been severely frustrated, and its momentum was greatly weakened. A "woo" sound passed over the old Taoist's head, and he broke out of the window.
"What flew out?"
The old Taoist at the corner of the palace asked in surprise.
"It seems... it seems like a group of flying squirrels..."
Feiyan stammered his answer while hiding next to Lao Dao.
"Phew, you scared me."
After the dust settled, the hall was deathly silent.
Huo Yazi had just stood up with his forehead in his hands and looked towards the statue unintentionally. Suddenly he felt that his legs were weak, and he slumped to the ground again with a "pop" sound.
……
When the lightning struck just now, if Cheng Yu hadn't dodged quickly, it would have been chopped by now, instead of just losing a few hairs.
He fell from the statue's shoulder to the ground, and the golden pill that penetrated his stomach slowly melted.
The heat inside his belly was getting hotter and hotter, waves of heat rolling back and forth in his belly, evaporating into steam and then hitting his forehead repeatedly.
So hot!
I can't bear it anymore...
Dizzy...
……
When Cheng Yu was about to collapse, the golden pellet finally melted away, the golden light dissipated, and finally turned into a drop of black crystal liquid, shaped like a water drop, and began to "trip" and keep spinning.
"Buzz!"
A roaring sound like a yellow bell suddenly vibrated in his head, and Cheng Yu's eyes went dark...
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again...
Still in the Dragon King Palace.
Just...
The perspective is not quite right...
Wait!
I'm human again!
At this time, Cheng Yu returned to his human form and was standing next to the statue.
These days, he has gradually begun to get used to the sparrow perspective, so suddenly changing back to human form is a bit uncomfortable.
The messy bill was covered with broken bricks and dirt, but the red candles on the two candlesticks were not extinguished.
A black unicorn dragon head rolled down on the ground, with a ferocious face, and the look on his face seemed to be more miserable than before.
Turning my head and looking at the statue, I saw that the neck was broken like a beheading, and the edges were charred black and smoking.
"Hiss..."
Beheaded by lightning!
What a sin this must have been...
Cheng Yu tried to lift his legs and walked slowly towards the old Taoist master and disciple in the corner. His body passed directly through the bill offering table. The red candle on the candlestick only reached the height of his chest, and the two candlelights passed through his heart one after another.
Spirit state.
The two masters and apprentices were huddled together in shock. Feiyan was hugging Lao Tao's thigh with a look of fear on his face. Lao Tao was tremblingly holding a broken ebony sword and concentrating on guarding against any emergencies.
The three fires in Feiyan's body are burning brightly, boy...
Looking at the old Taoist again, he saw that his fever was no weaker than that of the young apprentice next to him.
He walked slowly to the side of the old Taoist master and apprentice. Huo Yazi was still holding the broken ebony sword, pointing tremblingly at the dragon head in front of the bill, and was completely unaware of Cheng Yu beside him.
They can't see me...
That’s right, I’m out of body now, no living person should be able to see me.
"Hiccup!"
Suddenly, a surge of air surged up in his chest and abdomen. Cheng Yu burped without warning, and some invisible golden air flowed out of his mouth.
The golden air flow continued to circle behind Cheng Yu, quietly flowing and changing like a golden nebula, and gradually began to condense and take shape without Cheng Yu knowing it.
