For a period of time after that, we all lived in Qingmo Cave. That day, Meng Yunzhong - perhaps we should call him Yuan Huan at this moment - ordered the attack on Fengmo Valley, but he did not retreat after I answered his question.
Soldier, or maybe he didn’t think I had answered his question. But in any case, the war in the Demon Realm started again.
In less than a month, there have been dozens of battles, large and small. Not only Qinghu has joined in, but also other medium-sized military camps in the Demon Realm, each following different camps and joining in the melee. At present, the Demon Realm has generally
It is divided into five camps, and each camp has a different purpose.
The camp led by the Demon Emperor and Cang Li mainly defends the Demon Sealed Valley and the Time and Space Chain. The Qinghu camp's goals are not fixed, and they frequently invade the time and space chain restrictions, or are at odds with Yuan Huan's camp to participate in the attack of the Demon Sealed Valley.
We don't know the real purpose, but various signs indicate that he does not seem to be just trying to compete with the Demon Emperor. Yuan Huan's camp has always been around the Demon Sealing Valley and Holy Spirit Mountain, but has not really launched any
The forceful attack was just a roundabout intrusion. There was also the Yanlie camp, which seemed to be one of Chi You's original generals, but later defected from Chi You's army, started anew, and built up a force. At this time, he also joined the melee, but there was no fixed one.
The direction and clear intention seems to be to wait for opportunities to gain more benefits in the melee. There is also the somewhat puzzling Nizhen camp. This camp is actually the weakest and does not have a fixed military camp.
, and there are no other generals attached to them, but they possess all kinds of strange magic weapons and spells, and they never take the initiative to participate in the war. Instead, they make money by selling various charms and magic weapons, and really start the war.
They hid in Tibet, but for some reason, this camp could not be wiped out or completely purged. Moreover, their soldiers were unpredictable and almost never showed their true appearance.
On the frontal battlefield, each camp has no obvious advantage. Even though the Demon Emperor's demon army was originally the most brave and powerful of the demon clan, because it needs to fight against the two camps of Qinghu and Yuanhuan, even with the assistance of Cang Li
, is also a bit difficult, not to mention that Qinghu has already grasped the weaknesses of the Demon Emperor and Cang Li. Whenever they are at a disadvantage, they will use the Holy Spirit Mountain's intentions, so that the Demon Emperor and Cang Li must devote their attention to blocking them.
As for Meng Yu, he was not in danger as we originally feared. On the contrary, after he entered the Demon Realm by accident for unknown reasons, the first person he met was A Nian. A Nian asked
After I found out that he was my son, I brought him into the military camp. Now, he is upright and happy to refine all kinds of weird charms in Anian's military camp. Even Cang Li can't find a reason.
Come to rebuke him.
I later learned that several months had quietly passed when Cang Li and I entered the Demon Realm through the time and space chain. Time passed very quickly in the time and space chain, and one moment was one month. In the previous few years, there had been constant battles within the Demon Realm.
, which roughly started shortly after Cang Li was resurrected. And there had already been a melee throughout the territory. A year ago, the situation was about to stabilize, and the five major camps all withdrew their troops and made adjustments. Now they are once again in a melee, saying
I always feel a vague sense of guilt when I wake up. I always feel that if it hadn't been like that that day, if I hadn't left at that critical moment, maybe I wouldn't be in the situation I am in now.
But the only thing worth celebrating is that Meng Yu spent his sixteenth birthday safely in the Demon Realm. He was in the Demon Realm, so even if that person wanted to find him, he would not be able to break into the barrier at the entrance to the Demon Realm.
The one-month deadline is approaching, and my spiritual power has begun to show signs of recovery. Cang Li and the Demon Emperor often take command on the battlefield, so I am often the only one left in the Qing Demon Cave. Meng Yu often gets a lot of human food from nowhere,
From time to time, some would be brought to me. But when I faced him, I felt a little more timid. I saw that he obviously didn't know Yuan Huan's true identity, so I really didn't know whether I should tell him. But I thought of him.
I tried every means to enter the Demon Realm just for the purpose of finding my father, but I really had mixed feelings in my heart.
On this day, I was trying to activate my spiritual power in the open space outside Qingmo Cave. A burst of dust flew up and swirled to form a small whirlpool. I was secretly happy in my heart and took back my spiritual power. In the blink of an eye, I moved my gaze to
On a stone not far away.
There was nothing special about the stone, but it seemed to be sinking into the ground gradually. Even though its speed was very slow, I stared at it for a while, and sure enough, it still completely sunk into the ground.
It happened that at this moment, Meng Yu suddenly appeared behind me and called his mother.
"Shh..." I motioned for him to speak softer.
"What?" He looked in the direction I was looking at and asked in confusion.
"Stone rot spirit." I still whispered to him.
But I saw that he was smiling but not smiling, and said: "Mother, do you want to find that stone rot spirit?"
"There must be a reason for the stone rot spirit to appear near Qingmo Cave."
Meng Yu nodded and said: "Indeed, generally stone rot spirits will not easily appear near residences where demons live for a long time, unless they are cast under some spell with ulterior motives."
"So I wanted to see where it showed up next."
I still carefully followed the location where the stone rotting spirit disappeared, trying hard to see its trajectory underground, but found that it was all in vain.
But I saw Meng Yu suddenly lowered his body, took out a small crystal bottle from somewhere, and then dropped a few drops of transparent liquid on the ground. I was wondering what he was doing, and then I felt a slight tingle on the sole of my foot.
Shocked and surprised, a bump gradually appeared on the ground. The bump grew higher and higher. After a while, a stone appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of me.
"Yu'er, what are you doing?" I guessed it was probably the effect of the liquid he dropped.
He raised the corner of his mouth somewhat proudly, handed the crystal bottle to me, and said, "Guess, what is this?"
I looked carefully at the transparent liquid in the bottle, but I couldn't see what it was.
"This is the stream I brought from Yifeng Valley. It contains the aura of the valley. Recently, I discovered that these running stones seem to like this water. Every time I put a few drops in the military camp, they will attract
Many."
The stone rotting spirit actually likes the aura of the fairy spirit? This makes me a little surprised. But no matter what, I can always check carefully what secrets this stone rotting spirit has.
When I was about to lean down to investigate, a sharp energy suddenly burst out from the stone. I instinctively hid to one side, but Meng Yu took the first step and released a sharp sword made of spiritual power.
The forces collided and collided, making a "buzzing" sound.
The next moment, before I could remind me, I suddenly felt like I was being sucked into a whirlpool. I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't seem to escape the whirlpool-like pressure around me. Suddenly, my vision fell into chaos, and Meng Yu's figure appeared.
Has long since disappeared.
I was swept up by the whirlpool and felt a little dizzy, but then I felt a slight suffocation, because the whirlpool seemed to be rolling more violently, and an infinitely deep falling and squeezing feeling followed. I guess
Wait, could it be that the stone rot spirit dragged me into the underground abyss?
I don't know how long later, a strange, muddy, vague sound suddenly came from my ears.
"Yu——Mao——"
"One--mo--"
I listened carefully, and gradually I heard that the sound was more like: "Ni - suddenly - Ni - suddenly -"
Each syllable has a long tail sound, and it sounds like an old woman holding her breath, or like a naughty child speaking in a different voice.
The chaos and darkness in front of me gradually dissipated, and I saw - stone carving spirits, many, many stone carving spirits. They were stacked layer by layer in my sight, and the sounds I heard seemed to be made by them. When I
When I got closer, they seemed to sense something and slowly moved to both sides. I was pushed by an invisible force and moved forward in the "passage" they avoided.
Following this "road", I gradually entered a slightly open area. It was not really open, but because the stone rotting spirits gradually became less and less, and then a huge and boundless black screen appeared, but in this place
In this dark curtain, I can somehow see things, as if anything that enters the dark curtain can shine on its own.
In the center of the black curtain, or more accurately, in the center of the line of sight at the end of the passage, there is a huge round pumice stone suspended in the black curtain, which looks more like a huge altar. In the center of the altar is a building
Strange stone castle.
That mysterious power held me up and headed towards the stone castle.
I secretly wanted to activate my spiritual power, but I found that the spiritual power in my body was suppressed by something. Although I didn't feel it disappear, I couldn't use it.
"Ni——suddenly——"
Gradually, the strange sound began to move behind him, and the huge altar was in front of him.
As soon as my toes touched the floor of the altar, I suddenly felt that the force pushing me forward disappeared, but my spiritual power still could not be used.
However, before I could make any valuable judgment, I suddenly heard the sound of "Nizhao" ringing in my ears. But this time, the sound was very short, sweet, crisp and ethereal. When I turned my head in the direction of the sound,
At first glance, there was a young girl beside him. This girl was very lovely and beautiful, which matched the voice very well. However, there was no trace of blood or expression on the girl's face. Her eyes were empty and distant.
He kept muttering in his mouth: "Nizhao-nizhao-"
Immediately afterwards, on the other side of me, the sound of "Niza" also appeared, and the "Niza" sounds on both sides were exactly the same. I turned around and was surprised for a moment, because a young girl also appeared here.
, that appearance and body shape are actually the same as the one on the other side.
Under this huge black screen, their beautiful faces and delicate figures appear very bright. They are dressed in light clothes as white as snow, but they have a bit more desolate and desolate meaning, which makes people feel sad.
trembling.
Before I could react, they slowly stretched out their hands and grabbed my arms from left to right. A chill instantly spread throughout my body, making me shudder.
Accompanied by a crisp "ni zai" sound, they continued to drag me in the direction of the stone castle.
The closer I got to the stone fort, the more I gradually saw the appearance of the stone fort. The stone fort looked like a coiled dragon, and the dragon's head penetrated directly into the black curtain from the middle of the layers of dragon bodies toward the sky. Wait for more.
Looking closer, I found that the dragon's head looked like a dragon but not a dragon, but more like the head of a giant python with long sharp horns. The giant python opened its huge mouth and widened its eyes, as if it wanted to swallow the world. It was full of momentum.
During this time, there was a lot more killing and fierceness. The closer people got, the more fear they would feel.
This stone castle is very huge. When I walked closer, most of the giant python's head was blocked by the huge coiled snake body. Only the huge snake mouth could be seen. I couldn't help but stare at the snake spitting out a stick.
Stone Snake opened its mouth and found a strange figure standing in the mouth of the snake.
Suddenly, the wide-open snake eyes suddenly emitted a burst of bright light, which made me avoid looking away.
"Ni suddenly——"
After the sound disappeared, an arched doorway opened unexpectedly in the smooth snake-body stone wall in front of me. A faint green light shivered from inside, and a cold air hit my face.
The two girls beside me didn't react at all and continued to drag me into the arched doorway.
The inside of this stone castle does not look like a snake, but a very spacious circular hall. The hall is full of green light, and the stone walls are carved with various strange patterns. On one side of the stone wall of the hall, a stone step follows the stone wall.
Circling up, there is a corridor, which also follows a circular trajectory. The corridor is surrounded by a stone guardrail, and the end extends into another arch.
In the center of the hall, there is a huge stone pillar, and the stone pillar is also carved with strange patterns. On the side facing us, there is an exquisite stone chair inlaid below. There are also two pillars on both sides of the back of the chair.
It was like two blue stone pythons, and they finally climbed up to the huge stone pillar in the middle. The heads of the giant pythons protruded from the stone pillars, spitting out letters in the direction we came in.
"Nizhao - Nizhao -" One voice came out uniformly from the left to the right, like a call. Then, they left me alone in the middle of the hall and retreated to both sides. I turned my head and shouted again.
To my surprise, the originally empty hall was now filled with people. Moreover, they all had exactly the same faces and were wearing the same white shirts. The two girls who dragged me in earlier stepped aside and were no longer visible.
Sure enough, my spiritual power was still sealed by a strange force. In this weird and depressing atmosphere, I couldn't help but frown and clenched my hands into fists.
"There's no need to waste your efforts. It's impossible to use your power here."
After listening to "Ni Su" for a long time, a normal human voice suddenly came out, which was a bit abrupt.
Immediately, behind the huge stone pillar, there was a black shadow moving slowly. The black shadow followed the stone pillar and gradually moved around to the front. Only then did I see clearly that it was actually a real thick black snake's tail, and above the snake's tail
, a human body and a human face gradually appeared.
Inadvertently, I caught a glimpse of the bright red snake skin on the tip of the snake's tail, and I couldn't help but think about it.
"It turns out that the mysterious Nizhen camp is actually a descendant of Nuwa." I stared at the human face on the snake-tailed man and smiled meaningfully.
"It's really rare that there are still people who can recognize the Nuwa people today."
"The body of a snake has a tail, the tip of the tail is red, and there are horns on the head. It can turn into a giant python, escape from the earth, create wonders, and change life and death. I just made a guess based on ancient books."
"It is not easy to read ancient books that record the characteristics of the Nuwa people."
As I spoke, the huge snake tail gradually transformed into human legs. A man wearing a navy blue satin robe with long hair walked up to me and slowly sat down on the square stone chair. The man with a plump face
But there is no lack of edges and corners, cold but no loss of majesty. There is a condescending look in his eyes, which makes people intimidated.
"I'm just curious, why are Nuwa's descendants also living in the Demonic Realm, and they can only hide here underground without seeing the light of day?"
A flash of anger suddenly flashed through his eyes when he looked at me, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a cold smile: "You don't need to know this."
"Then why did you set a trap to catch me here? Can you always tell me?"
"You don't need to know this. But now that you're here, it's not that easy to leave. After all, it took me nearly a thousand years to learn how to restrain the Spirit Gathering Pearl. So, as long as you are still here,
It is impossible for your spiritual power to come out of my control."
"Ling Gathering Pearl? What is that? Does it have anything to do with me?"
In my confusion, I suddenly recalled my life experience that I once sadly mentioned: "With crane eggs as the basis, divine power as the guide, the human body as the shape, the demonic energy as the soul, and the ghosts as the soul.
force……"
"It's not surprising, you are just an imperfect plaything created by man. If it weren't for the power of the blessing book, I'm afraid it would have collapsed from the inside out." He started to look at me with a strange expression again, really
It's like looking at something.
Such a look made me a little angry, but I still couldn't use any spiritual power.
He noticed my strangeness, smiled again, and said, "I've said before, your spiritual power is useless here." After a pause, he continued, "Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you some information.
Your true essence was originally created with the power of the demon spirit, and the source of the demon spirit's power is the spirit-gathering bead. Therefore, it is impossible for you to use the power of the spirit-gathering bead on my territory. It's just that
Your face seems familiar to me. It seems that your life experience is far more than what I know."
Hearing this, I felt a chill running down my spine, but I couldn't explain why.
"But it doesn't matter. After you help me get what I want, it won't be that important to me where you come from."
"You want me to help you? Why should I help you? What do you want?"
"I? I want the power of your Spirit Gathering Pearl, and I also want your...blood of the Heavenly Book..." His tone became more gloomy, and the huge snake tail reappeared, streaking across the stone chair, across
The stone ground was in front of me in an instant. His ink-like black eyes were staring straight at me. In addition to the greedy desire, there was also a bit of anger.
I avoided his eyes a little, and tried to integrate all the information I had obtained about the Nuwa clan in my mind, but gradually it settled on a very ancient name - Princess of the Demon Realm, Yin.
Nuwa is the ancestor of the demon world, the princess... she should also be a descendant of Nuwa. So is the person in front of me Yin...
In my absence, the voice of "Niza" sounded in my ears again, and I felt that my arms were grabbed by cold hands again.
"Take her to Yunyuan Pavilion."
I suddenly came back to my senses, but fell into a dark vortex and dizziness again. When I regained my senses again, I felt that the situation in front of me was very familiar. Then, I felt my heart tightening.
After I staggered, I realized that I was standing on the ground again, but what was above my head was no longer the crimson sky, but another strange color that also belonged to the Demon Realm - cyan blue.
I quickly looked at the ground around me, and I happened to see a stone disappearing from my sight and sinking into the ground. When I looked up, I saw a familiar figure coming into view.
I stood there very abruptly, dumbfounded, but when I wanted to move my body or just change my posture, I found that I couldn't move at all, and I couldn't even make a sound. I could only watch helplessly wearing a uniform.
The man wearing a black shirt, frowning slightly, and still maintaining a vigilant expression slowly walked towards me.
I don’t know the purpose of being brought here, let alone what spell is cast on me at this moment. Even though I tried my best to make an expression to keep him away, he still didn’t stop.
.
The closer I got, the more my mind went blank. I was powerless to stop him, and I didn’t even know what would happen next. But I could more clearly see his tightly furrowed brows, and there was doubt in his eyes.
, but there was a hint of anger, which made me even more uneasy and uncomfortable, because I didn’t know what the cause of his anger was.
But soon, I understood the source of his anger, because he had already grabbed my arm with very domineering force.
"How dare you come!" He asked me bitterly.
I gritted my teeth and gathered all my spiritual energy to the top of my head. After a burst of pain, I shook my head hard, shook his hand away, and said, "Don't come near me!"
