Chapter 415 The Origin of Wood
"what?"
Huo Qinghuang frowned and looked at Ao Jiu.
There's really something wrong with this guy.
In the past, whenever they met, they would fight and neither would give in.
This is a time when they join forces to fight the enemy. Do you think she is easier to talk to?
"I have something to talk to you about, let's go together."
Ao Jiu said confidently.
Huo Qinghuang looked at Ao Jiu with suspicion, trying to find some clues from his expression, but Ao Jiu just looked as if it was a matter of course.
She slightly broke free and said, "If you have anything to ask me, please hurry up and don't waste my time."
Ao Jiu slightly turned sideways, avoiding the sight of Tushan Yuhua and Zhang Tianshi, and whispered: "The dragon fish is still in your house..."
Huo Qinghuang was speechless for a moment: "After all this time, you still haven't gone to see her?"
"Yes."
Ao Jiu raised his head slightly: "If I didn't know what happened to her, how could I have struck Sakura Island with lightning?"
"Why don't you take her away?"
Huo Qinghuang couldn't quite understand.
"Isn't your home safer? It's protected by a formation. The outside world is so chaotic right now. Even the deep sea can be taken over by someone. What if you leave it out there and let someone exterminate it?"
Ao Jiu argued convincingly.
Huo Qinghuang had no way of refutation.
Who could have thought that Xiao Ri would be so self-destructive, emitting nuclear pollution, harming the dragon fish clan, and ultimately angering Ao Jiu, and not getting any benefits himself.
"Okay, take her away quickly and don't scare my family."
Huo Qinghuang waved her hands and said impatiently.
But Ao Jiu shook his head and said, "I cannot take her away for the time being. Without me, Changbai Mountain will not be peaceful. Let's talk about it after we solve the problem of Ailao Mountain."
"what ever."
Huo Qinghuang said no more. He stepped forward and rushed into the sky, flying away into the distance.
"Wait for me! Why are you running so fast?"
Ao Jiu's figure flashed and turned into a golden light and followed.
This is a long story, but in the eyes of Tushan Yuhua and Zhang Tianshi, they just saw the two of them huddled together, whispering something, and then ran away one after the other.
Tushan Yuhua frowned slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Friend Huo and the others have already left. I have to hurry back to prepare. I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Tianshi bowed to Tushan Yuhua, turned around and left in a hurry.
Tushan Yuhua looked at the direction the three people left, her nine fox tails swaying gently, a hint of thought flashed across her eyes, and then she turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot.
…
On the outskirts of the imperial capital, two figures descended from the sky and landed in a forest somewhere.
Huo Qinghuang's eyes flashed with golden light. He looked at the black hole that shrank to a point and raised his eyebrows.
"What are you doing here? Why, that's..."
Ao Jiu's figure appeared beside her, and his golden pupils were also locked on the strange black hole.
The black hole was only the size of a fist, but it emitted heart-pounding waves, and all the surrounding grass and trees withered.
"Space rift."
Ao Jiu's voice was solemn, "What's inside?"
"Jianmu."
Huo Qinghuang said indifferently.
"What? You said there's Jianmu in here?!"
Ao Jiu's pupils shrank and his tone changed immediately.
His face was filled with shock, and he stared at Huo Qinghuang in disbelief: "Are you sure? Wasn't Jianmu destroyed a long time ago? How could it appear in this small space crack?"
As he spoke, he looked at the black hole again, as if trying to see through it to see the mystery within.
Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "This is not an ordinary space crack. There used to be an ancient land inside. Some time ago, a Kui Niu wanted to break out of the boundary, but I suppressed it. It is said that Jianmu wants to sacrifice the entire world to gain a new life. Tell me, how much merit will it have if we prevent its resurrection?"
She stared at the black hole, the aura around her was faintly visible, and she was eager to try.
Ao Jiu frowned and thought to himself, Jianmu is an ancient sacred tree. Legend has it that it connects heaven and earth and is the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges.
It stands to reason that even if it is cut in half, it will not disappear completely.
But this thing didn’t appear earlier or later, but now it’s causing a commotion. Could it be related to the unusual movements in Ailao Mountain?
Or is this also a test brought to mankind by the great catastrophe of heaven and earth?
The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. The dragon's might emanated from his body unconsciously, and the air around him trembled.
"Don't be impulsive yet."
Huo Qinghuang noticed Ao Jiu's emotional fluctuations and warned him, "This space rift is extremely unstable. It is a space interlayer with a layer of restriction outside. If you touch it rashly, who knows what the consequences will be."
Ao Jiu took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement and curiosity, and asked: "Then in your opinion, what should we do?"
Huo Qinghuang stopped and looked up at the sky. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Jianmu is of great importance. We may be able to deal with it with just the two of us, but it will definitely cost a lot. But if we let others get involved, the merit will be much less. I haven't made up my mind yet. I plan to test the situation first."
"Okay."
Although Ao Jiu was somewhat reluctant to deal with outsiders, he also understood that what Huo Qinghuang said was very true.
He nodded and was about to speak when suddenly, a faint "buzzing" sound came from the black hole, and then a soft green light came out of the black hole and slowly spread out.
Wherever he went, the withered grass and trees came back to life at a speed visible to the naked eye, with tender green shoots breaking through the soil and growing rapidly.
"This, is this the origin of wood?"
Ao Jiu widened his eyes, looking at the shocking scene in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.
Huo Qinghuang was also shocked, but she quickly came to her senses and realized that Jianmu had appeared.
It's spying on the outside world!
"It seems that what High Priest Youquan said was right. There really is Jianmu in there."
Huo Qinghuang's eyes became fierce, and he quickly approached the black hole, holding the Mountain-Trapping Axe tightly in his hand to prevent any accidents.
As she got closer, the green light became stronger, and she could clearly feel a powerful yet gentle force coming towards her, as if calling her.
"It's really the origin of wood!"
Huo Qinghuang's eyes lit up.
In this short moment, the scars on her arms left by the battle with Old Ancestor Huang Quan disappeared instantly.
When Huo Qinghuang was only a few steps away from the black hole, a picture suddenly emerged in the green light: in a vast forest, a huge sacred tree reached into the sky, and its branches stretched out in a winding manner, as if connecting the veins of heaven and earth.
Under the sacred tree, a group of people dressed in ancient costumes are holding some kind of mysterious ceremony. They are chanting something, holding glowing objects in their hands, and worshiping the sacred tree devoutly.
"This is Jianmu..."
Huo Qinghuang murmured softly. She could feel the heavy history and mysterious power contained in the picture.
Ao Jiu also came to Huo Qinghuang's side. After seeing this scene, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.
He felt that he had some kind of inextricable connection with the scene in the picture, as if he had also participated in that ancient ritual.
Suddenly, the picture distorted, and those who were holding the ceremony all showed horror on their faces. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a huge thunder fell from the sky and struck Jianmu.
Jianmu shook violently, leaves fell one after another, and the whole world fell into chaos.
The scene finally freezes at the moment when Jianmu was cut off by thunder, and a strong sense of sadness and despair spreads.
Huo Qinghuang and Ao Jiu came back to their senses from the scene. They looked at each other and saw deep shock in each other's eyes.
Cutting down immortal trees and blocking immortal roads, there really is a group of people in this world who dare to fight against the heavens!
