Chapter 42

A series of murals appeared before Liu Huaizhao's eyes, which were very similar to the ones he had seen in the cave in Song Mountain.

The painting depicts a woman with a human body and a snake tail. The story is roughly similar to the legendary story of Nuwa creating humans. The only difference from the story that has been passed down is that the first group of humans created by Nuwa once suffered a devastating disaster.

When the heaven and earth were first created, the clear and yang energy rose to form the sky, and the heavy and turbid energy descended to form the earth. Later, the heaven and earth gave birth to yin and yang, and yin and yang gave birth to all things. All things in turn gave birth to heavy and turbid energy and clear and yang energy. The heavy and turbid energy separated from the heaven and earth, and gradually absorbed the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth and gained spiritual wisdom. The heavy and turbid energy absorbed the turbid energy between heaven and earth and became very naughty. Later, Nuwa created humans with clay. The heavy and turbid energy discovered that the flesh and blood of mortals contained turbid energy, which could increase its spiritual power. So it injured people several times and almost wiped out the entire mortal race. Nuwa could not bear it anymore, and sealed it to protect mortals.

But in order to prevent the heavy and turbid air from breaking the seal, Nuwa created a few mortals again, mixed her own immortal power into them, cleared out the turbid air in their bodies, and used it to balance the heavy and turbid air.

Later, the sky collapsed and the earth sank. Nuwa used five-colored stones to repair the sky, and the pure yang energy was integrated into the five-colored stones to make up for the lack of pure yang energy in the world.

However, Nuwa died after exhausting her immortal power while repairing the sky. After Nuwa's death, the heavy turbid air broke the seal, but because it was sealed, it lost all its spiritual power and could only hide in the dark. It imitated Nuwa and created countless turbid monsters, which sucked the flesh and blood of mortals for it to gain spiritual power.

There were not many mortal bloodlines containing Nuwa's immortal power left behind, and even fewer that were able to awaken. Only a few hundred years later, an emperor of a small country appeared. Nearly a thousand years later, a mortal appeared who could use his flesh and blood as a formation to spread pure energy into the world. A few hundred years later, a cultivator appeared on the top of Changhuai Mountain and introduced the pure yang energy into his body.

"They can all get what they want from here." A voice came from the air. It was difficult to tell whether it was male or female, but it could bring peace and tranquility to those who listened. "Mu Cheng wants to protect his country, and Kong Yi wants to learn how to destroy the turbid monster, so I taught them the formation and spell. What about you? What do you want?"

Before Liu Huaizhao could speak, the voice chuckled, "You are so greedy and bold, you actually want to make the heavy air disappear."

"Senior." Liu Huaizhao saluted the void, "I hope you can teach me."

"The method is very simple. I can certainly tell you, but it will come at a great cost. Do you still want to learn it?"

Liu Huaizhao nodded without hesitation, and then lost all consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, the mural had disappeared, leaving only endless white and the scorching heat beneath him.

He came back to his senses and was shocked, "Qin Zunyue! Why are you so hot! Put me down."

When Qin Zunyue heard the person on his back talking, he immediately stopped, put Liu Huaizhao down, held his shoulders and looked at him carefully.

"Are you awake? Awake..." His hand stroked Liu Huaizhao's face.

Liu Huaizhao grabbed his equally burning hands and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Qin Zunyue smiled casually, "It's hot from carrying you, it's okay."

He forced himself to pull Liu Huaizhao's hand and said, "Let's go, the others are still waiting for us downstairs."

Liu Huaizhao reached out to support him, and the two of them took difficult steps in the snow. After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the person who was waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the people running towards them, Qin Zunyue didn't have time to put on a smile before his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

-

When Qin Zunyue woke up again, Liu Huaizhao was sleeping soundly on his chest. He thought about the dream in a daze and hit his head with his hand.

As soon as he moved, Liu Huaizhao woke up immediately, reached out to feel his body temperature, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death," he grumbled softly. "But I sure scared you too, so we're even."

Qin Zunyue looked at him with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a while, he still didn't tell him the dream he had just had.

She just touched his eyes gently and said softly, "Huai Zhao, no matter what happens in the future, let me be by your side, okay?"

Liu Huaizhao didn't see anything wrong, he just thought Qin Zunyue was frightened by his sudden fainting, so he leaned over and kissed Qin Zunyue, saying, "Don't worry."

Seeing that Qin Zunyue was still silent, he pecked and kissed him twice more, then said mysteriously, "Actually, I was dreaming when I was unconscious. I know how to kill Gongsun Xuan. As long as he's dead, the heavy qi will be temporarily unable to move, and at least we can have a hundred years of peace."

"Really?" Qin Zunyue chuckled and said, "Then when do we start?"

"Don't worry, let's leave here first and find a place to rest for a few days."

After saying that, he stretched and leaned on Qin Zunyue, "I'm so tired——"

Qin Zunyue pinched his shoulders and said, "Okay, then let's have a good rest for a few days."

-

Outside the tent, Zheng Shu was directing the others to prepare a feast to celebrate their victory. Wei Zhirong was sweating profusely in front of the fire. When he turned his head to wipe his sweat, he saw Qin Zunyue coming out and shouted, "Brother Qin!"

Clang——

Qiao Lang, who was standing next to him, threw away the things he was carrying and rushed towards Qin Zunyue like a wild bull. He hugged Qin Zunyue and said in a choked voice, "Wuwuwu, Brother Qin, you finally woke up."

Qin Zunyue had just recovered from a serious illness and was hit by Qiao Lang, who weighed nearly 200 pounds. He almost vomited blood. He coughed twice and pulled the man off his body.

"Oh, you're really awake?" Zheng Shu passed by and laughed at his embarrassed look. "Xiao Liu said you would wake up today, but I didn't believe it. You actually woke up."

"I slept for a few days."

"Three days, Brother Qin." Qiao Lang sobbed, "You haven't moved at all, you're like dead."

As he was about to finish his words, Qiao Lang felt like he was kicked in the butt. He turned around and looked down, and saw Tong Le, who was holding firewood, staring at him. "Can you even say a good word?"

The jokes made by a few people dispelled some of the gloom in Qin Zunyue's heart. He took Liu Huaizhao's hand and sat down, watching the others working and bickering at the same time.

"Oh right." After watching the excitement for a while, Qin Zunyue realized that he had forgotten the important matter. "Have you contacted the safe city? Are there still monsters there?"

"Yes," Yan Liao answered. "Sister said she sent people out to investigate, but no monsters have been found so far. But she's still not letting her guard down and is still patrolling on schedule every day."

Qin Zunyue nodded, "It's always better to be careful."

The meal was very sumptuous in the evening. While Qin Zunyue and Liu Huaizhao were climbing the mountain, the others were not idle either. They hunted a lot of prey and were waiting to hold a celebration banquet after Qin Zunyue woke up.

The weather was still cold, but the few people gathered around the fire didn't feel it. After drinking a cup of boiled water, Zheng Shu said, "I can't believe that the suffering I've endured for more than ten years is over just like that."

"It's not over yet. Let's talk about this after we kill Gongsun Xuan." Qin Zunyue took a bite of meat and drank some water.

"Oh, how do we kill Gongsun Xuan? Didn't Liu Huaizhao stab him through and through before, but he didn't die?" Qiao Lang sighed.

"Can you please stop boosting other people's morale and destroying your own prestige?" Tong Le rolled his eyes.

Qin Zunyue and Liu Huaizhao looked at each other and told them the plan they had discussed in the tent today.

"Will this work?" Qiao Lang hesitated. "Will this really kill him?"

"Let's give it a try." Liu Huaizhao said, "Let's go find him after we've rested for a few days. Now that the turbid demon is gone, he must have found a place to hide and prepare to make trouble again in a few hundred years."

Zheng Shu snorted coldly, "I must kill him this time."

Over the past decade, they have lost their families and their homes, and this revenge can finally be avenged.

-

They drove to a small town not far away.

After getting away from the sacred mountain, Qiao Lang was able to use his spiritual power again. After getting out of the car, he stretched his shoulders, tried to fly, and then said, "I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel like I feel lighter after leaving that place."

"After all, that is the place closest to the gods. Since you have spiritual power, you can naturally feel the oppression." Liu Huaizhao took a deep breath and naturally held Qin Zunyue's hand.

Qiao Lang chuckled and said, "When you say that, I feel like I can be considered a god."

Wei Zhirong walked past him and glanced at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Isn't it? Can ordinary people feel this kind of oppression?" Qiao Lang said confidently.

"You're crazy." Wei Zhirong rolled his eyes, then tapped his toes and flew away.

"Fuck! How dare you say that to me! Aren't you the same?"

The surrounding houses were all empty, so they chose a house that wasn't seriously damaged, prepared to do some simple cleanup, and would live there for the next few days.

"Ahem." Qin Zunyue coughed twice, his voice a little weak, "Well, Liu Huaizhao and I will find another room."

"Why, Brother Qin, isn't this house big enough?" Wei Zhirong covered Qiao Lang's mouth with his hand.

"Oh~" Zheng Shu gave a meaningful smile, "Will you eat with us?"

Qin Zunyue didn't say anything.

"Okay, got it." Zheng Shu waved his hand, "Let's go."

"etc."

The person who spoke was Ji Mingting.

He had been taken care of by Zheng Shu these days and rarely went out. His voice startled everyone standing in the living room.

The atmosphere became a little weird.

But Ji Mingting stood there without saying a word. Qin Zunyue and Liu Huaizhao faced him and saw his pale face becoming increasingly red. Then he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Get lost."

The two men fled in panic.

The house they chose was not far from the others, but also a little far away.

Liu Huaizhao said: "I shouldn't have gone in with you just now. Didn't you see the way Tong Le looked at me?"

"Blame me, blame me." Qin Zunyue hugged him and kissed his forehead gently.

Liu Huaizhao discovered that Qin Zunyue always liked to kiss his forehead. He didn't understand, but he also liked this feeling. Every time Qin Zunyue's kiss fell on his forehead, he could clearly feel the precious emotion.

The light kiss on his forehead was so wonderful that he temporarily put aside the dream.

Focus on enjoying the present moment and savoring this fleeting relationship.

Liu Huaizhao closed his eyes, took the initiative to hug Qin Zunyue's neck, stood on tiptoe, and pressed his mouth against Qin Zunyue's warm lips.
