Chapter 234: When the Flying Birds Float in the Moonlit Blue Sky·IV
Even if Li Ping had not yet begun to absorb the magic power of the Seven Emotions of the Lower Realm, he was not someone Xiao Hao could handle at the moment.
Xiao Hao knew very well that Li Ping was afraid of him because he and Zhao Ming had the same mind, sword, and sword intention.
Zhao Ming could cut off the flow of spiritual power and break all the magical power connections in the world. As a sword spirit that was once born from Zhao Ming's sword heart, Xiao Hao's sword energy had the same effect as Zhao Ming's.
He was Li Ping's natural nemesis.
But this was far from enough. Li Ping's spiritual power was much stronger than his, and confronting him head-on now was like hitting a rock with an egg.
Li Ping didn't know his origins yet, so he wanted to do everything he could to see his true face and didn't dare to act rashly. This time he was scared away by him, but with Shi Zhixuan here, Li Ping covets Shi Zhixuan's body and will not give up.
We have to think of a way.
[Ding! The hero lives up to the title of the world's number one magic sword, mysterious and unpredictable, scares away the inner demon Li Ping, and the level is +1000. ]
[Current achievement: Hidden Yuan Secret · Satisfied, progress: 1492/10000. ]
With Shen Ye and Cangming in the city, Li Ping dared not leave Ju Mu easily for fear of being caught by them. If it hadn't been for the loophole when landing, Li Ping would not have had the opportunity to attach to Shi Zhixuan.
But for things like demons, it is better to be prepared for them than to expect them to be kind enough to give up their bodies.
If Shi Zhixuan can cultivate into an immortal body here, he will be able to resist Li Peng, and there is no need to worry that he will be possessed by the inner demon again; or, if he can make a Yanjia that can isolate the inner demon...
Cultivation requires time to accumulate, but the Yanjia mechanism may be able to produce results in a short period of time.
Xiao Hao moved Shi Zhixuan back to the gang territory, and left him some Yanshu and spiritual power control scrolls. He wrote a letter about the outside world and put it on the table before returning to the room.
It was a peaceful night.
The next day, Cangming took the initiative to ask him out.
Xiao Hao followed Shen Ye to the entrance of the Silence Room. The man like the night said nothing more, and left with a proud back.
The soft sunlight fell from the branches of the jumu tree, falling on the goddess with black hair sitting quietly on the twisted roots. Just one look at this scene, and I felt my whole heart settled down, with an indescribable holiness and tenderness, and a sense of tranquility.
She turned her head and gave Xiao Hao a friendly smile: "You are here."
Xiao Hao took a curious look at the interior of the silent room. The jumu tree grew from here, supporting the entire Liuyue City, and was the core of Liuyue City.
He walked up to Cangming and nodded: "What does the city lord want to see me about?"
Cangming first apologized: "No one except the city lord and the high priest is allowed to enter the Silence Room. I hope you won't blame me." She said with a hint of awe in her tone: "The inner demon is entrenched in the core of the Silence Room. We can talk here to avoid being noticed by him."
Xiao Hao's heart was slightly moved, and he said seriously: "The city lord can explain it."
Cangming smiled gently, looked at his newly made Yanjia prosthesis, and nodded with satisfaction: "Your craftsmanship is really good."
Xiao Hao's old face flushed, and he scratched the back of his head: "I'm ashamed. This was made by the priest Pojun."
Cangming didn't care about it and smiled, "Your Excellency has a connection with my Liuyue City. You don't need to thank me for such a small favor." She held up a ray of sunlight, looked into the distance, and said softly, "I am suffering from a terminal illness and will not live long. However, my inner demon entered the city and caused trouble. Now I will soon try to enter Jumu for treatment. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet you again."
Xiao Hao's expression froze and he frowned and said, "City Lord...?"
Cangming said, "Your Excellency has been in the city for the past two days. I believe you have seen the recent situation of my people."
Xiao Hao was silent for a while and nodded slowly.
"The inner demon promised to infect our people with his own demonic energy, so that they would no longer be afraid of the turbid air in the lower world. But in exchange, he asked us to attach the demonic energy to the branches of the rectangular wood and release it into the lower world, where it would devour people's minds and improve their cultivation."
Xiao Hao frowned and tried to dissuade us, saying, "Once infected with the demonic energy, you will become a half-human, half-demon monster. Although the demonic energy can give civilians unprecedented power, it is ultimately useless. This is not the right way. If they cannot bear it, they will gradually weaken and turn into ashes. The inner demon is only for its own cultivation. Once it absorbs the seven emotions of the lower world through the square wood, it will bring endless disasters to the people of the lower world. "
Cangming looked at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Your Excellency looks cold and aloof, but you are also a gentle person."
Xiao Hao opened his mouth and swallowed the words on his lips.
Cangming said calmly: "Liuyue City has believed in Shennong God for generations, but since the gods have gone thousands of years ago, we have been abandoned by time for too long, too long... As the lord of the city, how can I watch them go to destruction?"
"We ancient humans cannot accept the turbidity of the earth. There is only death in the underworld; but staying in this cage will also mean death. Cooperating with the inner demon can give our people a glimmer of hope, but getting rid of the inner demon is also our duty. Ah Ye and I have discussed this all night, but we cannot come up with an answer that satisfies everyone."
She looked back at Xiao Hao, calmly and firmly: "Sir... do you have an answer?"
Xiao Hao Confused, "Why do you want to ask me?"
Cangming said, "The inner demon said that you and he came from the Demon Realm, but you have different tempers. If we don't want Ju Mu to be destroyed by the fight between you two, which will directly cause the collapse and destruction of Liuyue City, we should get rid of you as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."
She shook her head and smiled, and said affirmatively, "The inner demon is very afraid of you. I thought you were pure and clean, maybe you fell into the Demon Realm. "I'm an ancient god, but seeing how you get along with Pojun Qisha, I find that you are young at heart, and definitely not an old man who has lived for tens of thousands of years. He spared no effort to get rid of you, there must be a deep meaning."
Xiao Hao was silent for a while, and said thoughtfully: "I do have the ability to restrain him, but I can't do anything to him at the moment."
Cangming asked lightly: "Why?"
Xiao Hao explained: "His magic core has been hidden in the deepest part of the Jumu, and now the black The cloud shape is just most of his spiritual power. As long as the magic core is still there, he can be reborn countless times. If he wants to take out the magic core, he will inevitably damage the Jumu. Once the Jumu falls, Liuyue City will immediately collapse. "
Cangming's face turned pale and she said in a lost voice: "Is this true!"
She was silent for a long time and closed her eyes in regret: "If so, there is only this way."
Xiao Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion.
Cangming said: "I am the only one with the strongest spiritual power in the city. The Lieshan tribe has an ancient sealing method called the 'Seal of the Dark Butterfly'. The host's own spiritual power is used to feed the Dark Butterfly. The strong ones can seal the gods and demons. I am suffering from a serious disease. I am afraid that I will not live until the day when all my people move to the lower world. The only way is to enter the Jumu to contact the blood of the gods, or I can retain my strength in order to seal Li Peng. Moreover, as you said, maybe I can find the location of the magic core in the Jumu."
Xiao Hao was slightly stunned.
Cangming is like a goddess to the people of Liuyue City. She has long surpassed the meaning of the gods who abandoned them. There is an unspeakable divinity in this gentle woman. In order to fulfill the responsibility of protecting the people, she can even sacrifice everything.
Once the Seal of the Dark Butterfly is activated, the host will be devoured from the inside out, leaving no soul behind, and will be completely destroyed.
Xiao Hao never hesitates to show respect to respectable people.
He knelt on one knee, raised his head slightly and looked up at the city lord, and asked: "What can I do for you?"
Cangming smiled, but shook his head gently: "The inner demon wants you to die, you can't stay in Liuyue City. Soon there will be the first group of people going to the lower world to find a suitable residence, please leave with them."
Xiao Hao sighed and said: "I have an old friend who may be able to cure the disease caused by turbid air infection. And for some reasons, I am also studying the Yanjia that can isolate the inner demon, but... it may take some time."
Changqin has jumped out of reincarnation since Feng Laihui and wandered around the three realms. After these thousands of years, Xiao Hao really doesn't know where to find him.
Fengming Qiuwu was able to cure the Chishui woman Xian who was infected by evil spirits in the past, and now he should be able to cure the diseases of these ancient descendants.
Cangming finally showed some joy after hearing this. She also heard the helplessness in Xiao Hao's words, and comforted him: "We can't delay too much time with the inner demon. A Ye Ning is willing to bear the sin in exchange for the survival of his people, and I am powerless to stop it. Your Excellency does not need to force it. The affairs of Liuyue City should not be your concern."
Xiao Hao said: "I am responsible for the inner demon entering the city. I will not watch him do evil endlessly. I promised the city lord that I will try my best to find a way to break this situation."
Cangming slowly stretched out her palm and touched the half of his face that was not covered by the mask, "We live for death, your Excellency can do everything according to your heart, don't force it."
*
After Xiao Hao left the Silence Room, Cang Ming walked into the God Tree alone. There was a drop of God's blood left by Shen Nong in the Jumu Wood, which contained an extremely pure and clear air. If ordinary people touched it, they would turn into ashes.
However, after a thousand years, the God's blood was exhausted and its power was not as strong as before. Therefore, Cang Ming could still try to use the God's blood to cure the disease caused by the foul air, but it was also extremely dangerous.
From then on, she would tie her life to the Jumu Wood, merge with the Jumu Wood, and fall into an endless sleep.
Xiao Hao sighed, and just as he left the temple, he saw Xie Yi waiting for him at the door for a long time.
Xie Yi's face was not very good, but he was a very well-educated person. When he saw Xiao Hao coming out, even if he was in a bad mood, he would not show it in front of Xiao Hao, a guest.
"I have prepared the classics you need. Just follow me to get them."
Xiao Hao saw that he was very worried despite his politeness, and could not help but said, "You are in a bad mood." Xie
Yi apologized quickly, "Sorry... I..." He paused, and said ashamedly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I just had a quarrel with my master, and I can't help but feel depressed."
Xiao Hao knew that he must have had a conflict with Shen Ye because of his attitude towards the inner demon, so he understood and said, "I have promised the city lord to try my best to find a way to isolate the inner demon and filter the polluted air."
Xie Yi was surprised to hear this, and said in surprise, "Why are you so angry?" ……?”
Xiao Hao pulled the corner of his mouth and changed the subject: “I saw many peach trees planted in the city. When spring comes, the scenery here should be nice.”
Xie Yi was choked for a moment, and then he considerately did not continue to ask, and said with a little regret: “Your Excellency does not know that the spring in the city is also very cold and lonely, and these peach trees have no chance to bloom. If we can see the spring flowers bloom in Liuyue City once, I wonder how many people will be happy.”
Xiao Hao looked at the peach trees covered with frost and snow, and suddenly understood the simplest and most difficult wish of the people in this city.
These people who were born in the cold night, went to justice like the sea, were as perseverant as Shen Ye, and were as kind as Xie Yi, but they tried their best to let their people survive.
And what’s wrong with staying alive?
The author has something to say: Laying the groundwork =v=
