This forest is indeed not big. When we walked out of the forest, what we saw was a blue lake. There were lush vegetation around the lake, the sound of chirping birds was endless, and the shadows of the trees were mottled and swaying in the lake. The scenery was extremely beautiful.
good.
After arriving in the human world, Ah Nian saw this beautiful scenery for the first time. He unconsciously stopped and looked into the distance, feeling a little crazy.
"But the Demon Realm doesn't have such a beautiful place." A Nian sighed, reluctant to move.
"This is Heze, now called Longchi. This area is full of continuous lakes. The past has changed. Part of the former Heshan Mountain has also become a corner of Heze. It is really beautiful here, and there are many places where spiritual energy gathers. It is said that many
The ancient gods are all connected with this place! I used to often go here to absorb spiritual energy, and it feels so comfortable!" Hua Niao explained to us, and it could be heard from her tone that she also liked this place very much.
"Then there must be a larger mortal town nearby, right?"
"Of course, mortals are very good at enjoying it. Places with water, mountains, and rich products are often the best choice for mortals to gather. There is a big city nearby called Caozhou, not far from here.
Our journey will lead us there before dark. There are often mortals around here, so I can't carry you and fly there, but it just gives you a chance to appreciate this beautiful scenery."
"It's not bad. If you still haven't arrived in Caozhou after nightfall, it would be good to rest nearby here for the night."
"Ah? That's not possible! There are many places with prosperous spiritual energy in Heze. At night, it is not peaceful. Besides, this is a place where gods often come. Even if you are very powerful, if you are really alarmed by a fight,
God Clan, that would be troublesome."
"That's true. Let's go to Caozhou as soon as possible. It seems that even the spiritual power cannot be easily used for the time being."
Anian also nodded, he definitely didn't want to alarm the gods.
We didn’t use any spiritual power along the way, so although our pace was much slower, it was very pleasant to be accompanied by this beautiful scenery. After all, the flowers and birds had lived for a long time, and they kept telling us old things about Heze all the way.
Only then did I know that there are many spiritual lands near Heze, which are the birthplaces of many ancient gods. Nowadays, there are still many people who cultivate immortals gathered here. Gods, gods and monsters are trying their best to get here to absorb the pure spiritual energy. Seriously
It's a good place.
Until the sun set in the west and the last ray of light was about to disappear, we stood in front of a towering city tower with the word "Caozhou" carved on the gate.
The closer we got to the city tower, the more pedestrians were around us, and the flowers and birds no longer dared to speak human words. I remembered that cities in the human world had curfews, so we quickened our pace and rushed into the city before the city gates closed.
Caozhou is indeed quite big, and even the buildings are much more luxurious than ordinary small towns. Most of them are made of stone bricks. There are many more pedestrians on the streets. Even at night, the lights still seem to be bright and unstoppable.
the meaning of.
We found an inn to stay in. There were also two adjacent rooms. Hua Niao and I lived together.
The wind was strong at night and it was much colder than during the day. This gave me the feeling I should have after autumn. It was even colder here since it was to the north.
I knocked on A-Nian's door as usual out of boredom and continued to discuss anecdotes about demons with him.
"According to what you said, your grandmother is really a real demon princess? Then where is the demon world you know?"
"My grandmother, the queen of the demon world, Nuyin, had no choice but to completely hide from the demon world in order to prevent the fight between the demon world and the demon world. She was the most powerful demon in the demon world after Nuwa, and she was sacrificed in the end.
Only by saving myself can we calm down the disputes between demons and demons."
"Wait a minute, Nuwa? Isn't Nuwa a god?"
"Nuwa is not a god, but she has powerful power that can rival the gods. In fact, she is the ancestor of the demon clan."
"So, demons created humans?" I couldn't believe it. I felt that many of my previous firm perceptions had been overturned in an instant.
"Yes, many of these old stories have been distorted until now. Moreover, after Nuwa established the order of the demon world, she left the demon world and lived in the human world for a long time. Therefore, mortals think that Nuwa is a member of the god family.
."
Suddenly, I just felt that when did my cognition become so complicated? If I were just an ordinary demon living in the forest of gloom, I would never be able to know these thousand-year entanglements between gods and demons for the rest of my life. But I don’t know
Why, I was involved in it like this. I don’t even know the reason. These complicated disputes in the six realms should have nothing to do with me, but now, I seem to be standing at a certain point in them uncontrollably.
Even though I don't know what impact my existence has on these things, I have a strange intuition that I must be inextricably linked to some of them.
I thought again, maybe this feeling is not just something I have. Any living being, when they continue to expand their knowledge, will have the same sentiments as me, right?
It's just that I suddenly felt that these systems were too huge and too complicated, so I'd better return to the most direct purpose of this trip.
"Have you ever thought about how to find the entrance to Qingqiu Fantasy Land?"
I changed the subject and forcibly suppressed my curiosity.
Ah Nian shook his head without thinking, so the conversation stopped abruptly and silence covered everything.
I returned to my room, and even though I was still not completely recovered from the conversation, I quickly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the chirping of flowers and birds woke me up.
"What's wrong?"
"Something happened!" Hua Niao said in my ear very quietly but very surprised.
Still feeling sleepy, I slowly sat up and waited for her to continue.
"A demon cannibalizing people's hearts has actually happened in the city! This is the jurisdiction of the gods. What kind of demon dares to cause such blatant killings! Will the gods be provoked for this? Will we be in trouble? If the gods are really
If we are disturbed, will they attack us first? Should we leave here first, wait for the storm to pass, and then come back after a while?"
Her series of worries didn't seem to completely dispel my sleepiness, but the heart-eating incident did make me a little surprised.
"Heart-eating?" I tried to flip through my memory, and then, a bloody scene suddenly came to mind.
"Eating heart?!" I asked again, this time, I was mostly awake.
"That's right! How evil must it be to cut out a person's heart and eat it? I'm not that cruel to eat people! At least I will knock people out before eating them, and I even found them specially.
Feed them some anesthetic herbs!"
I didn't understand the second half of her description, and just kept thinking about the scenes I had seen before.
In order to frame me, You Ruojun joined forces with Rouyi. Rouyi ate the child's heart, but Rouyi is dead. Is there really any powerful evil monster that is so unbridled as to come here? Even the gods don't care about it.
?Also...Ruyuan's sister can also eat hearts...could it be...but she shouldn't dare to easily alarm the gods!
A series of guesses and questions, but in the end there was no result. Then I started to think about Hua Niao's proposal. Maybe we should avoid the limelight for the time being.
But before I could go find A-Nian, I was interrupted by a sudden noise.
"It's killing! It's killing! The monster is killing!"
A man shouted heartbreakingly. I immediately opened the door. I heard that the voice should be in the lobby downstairs. I went straight downstairs, but was shocked by the scene in front of me.
Like jade!
The nine-tailed fox demon who looked exactly like Ruyuan was standing in the middle of the inn lobby, holding a heart that was still bleeding. The bright red blood burned down her hand, even
It was still steaming. Next to her, a man was lying on the ground with a distorted face and a huge hole in his chest. Everyone fled in all directions. At this time, she and I were the only ones left confronting each other in the lobby.
The flowers and birds on the shoulders were also frightened.
But she turned her head very sinisterly and stared straight at me. My heart tightened and my heart beat faster. Seeing this bloody scene, in addition to being shocked, I also felt a wave of nausea.
"You are indeed pregnant." At this moment, she held my heart in her hands, cast her eyes on my belly, and smiled sinisterly.
How did she know I was pregnant?
"Everyone in the world knows that the poison of desire in our nine-tailed fox clan can be transferred through the Yunyu detoxification, but they don't know that after doing the Yunyu detoxification, they will inevitably conceive a child. No matter the gods or monsters, they can't escape the poisoning.
The ending of life. The last time I saw you, I didn't find you pregnant, and I was a little surprised. Come to think of it, you are actually a real demon, and it takes such a long time to conceive.
"You are lucky to be alive until now, but if you can't find the antidote, you won't be able to escape the same fate."
One corpse, two lives... This person who created desire poison is really vicious. No matter what, I cannot easily accept such an ending.
"What if I can live until the moment the baby is delivered?"
She smiled coldly and said: "It's ridiculous, have you forgotten my ruthless mother? Although she was pregnant when she detoxified the demon hunter, it did not affect the effect of the desire poison. Therefore, the desire poison will be
It was passed on to the child when she gave birth. If not, how could she choose to give up on me before I was even born?" When she said this, her eyes turned red, and she stuffed the heart in her hand into her mouth, and it was bright red.
Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, which made me feel cold all over.
At this moment, it was confirmed that my guess was correct. Even if I could barely suppress the toxicity with the Cangrong Sword, what would happen when the child was born? Do I have to watch my child die as soon as he was born?
?
"However, I say you are lucky. At least you still have a chance to detoxify, right? Now, as long as you find that Ruyi, everything can change."
What she was talking about was the jasper hairpin that the diviner took away. But if you want to find the jasper hairpin, you must find the Qingqiu illusion. And the most urgent thing now is to find the entrance to the illusion.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a strong vibration on the sole of my foot, and I almost fell down the steps, but then, A-Nian appeared behind Ruyu at some point and grabbed her neck with his hands.
"You are the nine-tailed fox clan, you must know where the entrance to the illusion is. Tell me quickly!"
Ruyu also never expected that Anian would take action from behind, and a mouthful of blood came out of her mouth, but it was obviously the blood from the heart she had just eaten.
But she soon smiled.
"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have come to your door. Have you forgotten what you promised that day? Don't forget, you are not the only one who wants to cure your poison. Well, I have this bead in my hand
Come on, you know what to do. If you wait until the spirit essence of the resurrected grass demon is exhausted, then it will really..."
Ruyu slowly raised her other hand, and what she held in her hand was the bead that sealed Cangli's demonic energy.
"Don't you hate this monster to death? Why are you so eager to help him detoxify now?" I let A Nian lock her neck, but in the blink of an eye, her figure flickered, and she suddenly stood there.
Disappeared. Ah Nian was surprised, but Ruyu had already stood closer to me.
Ruyu sneered: "Hey... I just find it interesting and want to continue watching the show."
"Watching a show? Just watching a show?"
"Hey... I've been watching plays since I was brought back by the skill training. Each show is more exciting and more interesting than the last one. This time, I also want to see how powerful gods and demons can be.
It won’t be as exciting as a mortal’s play.”
I snorted disdainfully and said, "Since you know where the entrance is, why bother talking nonsense? Just take us there."
"Of course there are conditions."
"What conditions? You Nine-Tailed Fox Clan all like to make conditions, but in the end, not many actually fulfill their promises."
Ruyu smiled coldly again: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, but this is your only chance. Without me, you might not be able to find the entrance even if you search for several years."
But while he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the lobby door. Na Ruyu glanced at her, and then smiled evilly. In the blink of an eye, her figure was blurred. When she looked again, she had disappeared, leaving only her.
He said a cold word: "If you think about it, come to the forest south of Longchi."
I saw the man twisted and collapsed on the ground, then looked at the red and black hole in his chest, and frowned. It seemed that this place was no longer habitable.
