The jade-carved crown that blocks out the sky is shining with clear fluorescence, and spots are floating around the leaves, like a sea of stars descending from the earth.
Light green airflow and smoke generally rise from the tops of the trees and float into the dark and unknown high sky.
"You're here."
Before seeing anyone, he first heard the sound.
This solemn voice echoed in the cave sky. Bai Yunsheng's eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly under the Betang tree. There was a person sitting cross-legged here.
Bai Yunsheng's lips turned cold, and he said rudely: "Shouldn't I come?"
At this moment, facing the majestic wooden beast, there was no trace of awe in his words.
However, Qinglong, who has always had a bad temper, did not get angry. He just said displeasedly: "When things have come to this point, what's the difference between what should be done and what shouldn't be done?"
Bai Yunsheng said: "So you know everything?"
Qinglong opened his eyes, stood up and put his hands behind his back. He looked dissatisfied and blamed: "Although I don't know what you did in the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm, and I don't know who you are, but the branch seals of the three major demon realms were almost destroyed by you.
Hands, this is a fact."
Bai Yunsheng also stood with his hands behind his hands, slightly looking up at the green dragon beast standing high up, his face remained unchanged, his black eyebrows did not wrinkle, and he said indifferently:
"Now that you know everything, don't let me talk too much. Back in the Pilu Realm, Qilin had already spoken. No one can predict what will happen on this road. I'm here to discuss the next step with you, not to apologize."
There was a sudden silence in the spacious cave.
The water flowing from the mouths of the eighteen stone dragons on the four walls, which had not stopped for thousands of years, suddenly slowed down.
Qinglong's fist clenched behind his back made a loud banging sound. He never expected that in just three years, that young boy would dare to talk to him like this now.
Looking at this world, looking at this world, there are only a handful of people who dare to do this.
"well!"
After a brief silence, Qinglong uttered two good words in succession, his face returned to its former majesty, and he continued: "We really did not misjudge the person."
Bai Yunsheng sneered indifferently, he would never think that Qinglong was praising him.
At this time, the wooden beast flew from under the tall Litang tree, landed three feet away from Bai Yunsheng, and said:
"Not long ago, the White Tiger sent news that it seemed to have found some clues about the loss of Origin Qi, and asked us to help it. Xuanwu's Dayan Gu Gua said that you would come here to find me, so I will wait for you here first and explain.
Go to Bai Hu's place after you're done."
Bai Yunsheng also put down his momentum and asked sharply: "What clue?"
Qinglong shook his head and said: "White Tiger's sound transmission was very short, and there were sounds of fighting. It sounded like the situation was not good."
Bai Yunsheng said: "Then why are you waiting for me?"
Qinglong did not speak, but turned around and looked sacredly at the ancient Betang tree, which was newly born in the world and was as dense as a torch.
His right hand turned into a dragon's claw, and he gently called into the void. A green star rose from the canopy like a sea of stars and flew into the green dragon's claw.
Qinglong stared in awe at the green light divine bead floating in his hand and said:
"In Buzhou Mountain, Baihu had a premonition that his actions would be very bad, so he entrusted you with the Heavenly Water Pearl.
As he spoke, Qinglong's majestic eyes were ignited with blazing fire. He stared at the iceberg-like Bai Yunsheng and said slowly:
"Now, I will hand over the Tianmu Pearl to you!"
Bai Yunsheng's cold expression was stunned for a moment, and he quickly returned to his normal expression. He did not refuse and said: "I already have Tianshui beads on my body. If I add Tianmu beads, aren't you afraid of triggering the interaction of the five elements?"
Qinglong, however, seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said calmly: "No need to worry, there are seals set by me and others on the origin. There will be no danger until we meet us again."
After speaking, the dragon claw waved, and the green Tianmu Pearl flew in front of Bai Yunsheng. The bright green light flowed around a leaf in the bead like blood, and the strong breath of life penetrated directly into the soul.
Bai Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the source of wood. As he turned his hand, the green light disappeared, and a green star lit up in his liver, which seemed to be far away from the blue star in his kidneys.
Bai Yunsheng suddenly felt his heartbeat rise and fall. All things in the world, whether they are alive or dead; all living beings in the world, whether human or demon, are supported by the origin of the five elements. At this moment, there are two major origins in his body.
What an adventure and privilege this is!
Seeing that Bai Yunsheng had obtained the Tianmu Bead, although Bai Yunsheng was no longer superstitious about the five divine beasts, he had no reason to be mean anymore, and there was really nothing he could do about the mist of crisis in front of him.
Then he said: "Is there anything you need me to do?"
Qinglong looked prepared and strategized: "From now on, you and I will divide our forces into two groups. I will go to help White Tiger, and you will be responsible for finding the other three origins and collecting the Five Elements Spirit Orbs."
Bai Yunsheng was startled and said, "Gather the five elements' origins together? What do you want to do?"
He didn't expect that this question actually made Qinglong hesitate. He seemed to be thinking about the pros and cons.
But just a moment later he said:
"Although the five of us were born from the origin of the Five Elements and guard the world, we can never get close to other origins except the one we protect, so we each live in our own corner and have little contact. In the beginning, Suzaku was arrested because he went to Mount Buzhou to look for the white tiger.
Tian Shuizhu was seriously injured. This rule of heaven and earth has also prevented us from understanding a secret that has been spread."
"secret?"
Bai Yunsheng keenly grasped the mystery behind the words.
Qinglong narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "The five elements gather together, all things are gone, chaos descends, and the laws of heaven and earth are heavy."
These sixteen dignified sounds lingered in Bai Yunsheng's ears, trembling in his heart.
He is a smart man, and smart people don't need explanations.
He already vaguely understood the profound meaning of the words spoken by the wooden beast himself.
This is a choice.
A decision that leads to a desperate decision in the end.
And Qinglong's next words also confirmed it.
"The original energy has been lost for millions of years, and we are incompetent. We have searched all over the world to no avail. If the destruction of the world is certain, then let the world return to nothingness in advance and let everything start again."
"Boom. Boom. Boom."
Qinglong's voice is like morning bells and evening drums, echoing in Bai Yunsheng's thin ears.
He was not sure whether this choice was right or wrong, but he had already inexplicably acquiesced to its existence. In the end, if the truth really couldn't be found out, maybe it would be a good choice to die with the mastermind behind it.
The dreamy Caitang tree is flowing with fragments of green light, and the vast wood energy is rising and falling, endlessly. Without the support of the Tianmu Pearl, the light on the tree has become dim.
Just like the entire surrounding world, it is already golden catkins outside and rotten catkins inside.
But having said that, Bai Yunsheng will definitely not change his suspicion of Qinglong because of these words. The matter of Juntian Temple is still in his throat, and the doubts about the attack on Lost World Mountain are still in his mind. He has lost basic trust in the five divine beasts.
"Where are the other three origins now?" After another pause, he asked.
Qinglong said without thinking:
"The Heavenly Golden Pearl is enshrined in Xuanyuan Mountain, the Heavenly Fire Pearl is buried in the Phoenix Cave of Yinma Mountain, and the Heavenly Earth Pearl and Xuanwu are in the Xingyun Desert. Among them, the Heavenly Earth Pearl is the easiest to find, and the Heavenly Golden Pearl is probably the most difficult to find.
"
Bai Yunsheng said with mixed emotions: "What do you think of this?"
The words in Qinglong's mouth lingered for a moment before he said: "Because we haven't heard from Qilin for a long time."
Bai Yunsheng said in surprise: "You mean the golden beast disappeared?"
Qinglong did not answer, but nodded helplessly and said:
"You don't have to worry. There is a special connection between the five divine beasts. You can look for the Sky Earth Bead and the Sky Fire Bead first."
Qinglong spoke lightly and carefully, but Bai Yunsheng did not express his position immediately.
Qinglong seemed to see through his thoughts, and then continued:
"Bai Yunsheng, I know you have some complaints about the five divine beasts in your heart. We have followed the existence of heaven and earth for endless years, read all the phenomena in the world, and know everything in the world. There are some things that cannot be said, and it is difficult to say. You just need to understand,
In the face of the danger of destruction, we all have the intention to save the world, and we have absolutely no other intentions!"
Faint sounds, broken thoughts.
Bai Yunsheng looked at the revered wood beast in front of him without hesitation, pondered for a while with an expressionless face, and finally asked:
"The last question, are all the seals of Mugenyuan in the surrounding world set by you yourself?"
"certainly."
Qinglong gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
…
Shortly after Qinglong left, Bai Yunsheng also returned to Zizhulin.
He once again accepted the commission from the mythical beast.
Accept it gladly.
After experiencing life and death in the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm, Bai Yunsheng firmly believed that this crisis of natural destruction was definitely closely related to his life experience. If he wanted to break the situation, he had to enter it.
Moreover, he has already entered the game.
night.
The cold lake is soaked in the cold moon.
The cool wind blows the cool bamboo.
In front of the hut.
Bai Yunsheng dug out the bamboo leaves that he had buried with Bailuzhou when he was a child, and his small handprints could still be vaguely discerned on the mud-sealed altar lid.
This jar of wine has been brewing for fifty years and has been hidden underground for eleven years.
Time has no length, but life does.
Memory has no reality, but life does.
So some people become strange - they use wine to measure time and also use wine to blur their memory.
Bai Yunsheng took the mud seal, raised the altar and drank it, passing through the intestines and stomach, how happy it was!
I recall those days when an old man and a young man were changing glasses, laughing and cursing.
But at this moment, there is a person leaning on a bamboo, and the shadow of a lonely lamp is full of sorrow and joy.
The waxing moon is not surrounded by clouds; the water in Daze is full of wine.
Only the best bamboo leaves and green leaves can be worthy of such a fine wind and moon.
But in the windy moon, there is only the sound of wind in the bamboo leaves.
