Chapter 253: When the Flying Birds Float in the Moonlight and the Blue Sky·Twenty-three
Xiao Hao felt that he had made a mistake. He knew that even the chicken made by Kunpeng was inedible, but he actually swallowed it...
When he saw the dishes whose ingredients he couldn't distinguish, he thought that he was ignorant, but he forgot that Xie Yi was the real leader of the dark cuisine world...
The key is that Xie Yi himself didn't know his cooking skills at all...
Xiao Hao rubbed his stiff Yanjia body and vowed that if he saw Xie Yi cooking in the future, he would run away as soon as possible.
He brought the Crown of the Sky back to Liuyue City and handed it to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye put away the Yanjia. If nothing unexpected happened, it would start to work tonight to help the High Priest's sister, who could only maintain her memory for three days, sleep.
"I thought you would keep hiding from me."
Xiao Hao knew he was in the wrong and was unwilling to explain more on this matter. "I want to talk to you about Li Peng."
Shen Ye raised his eyebrows, glanced at him silently, and motioned him to continue.
"The medicines tested in the city are gradually taking effect. I found a warm and humid place with a relatively thick air in the lower world, called Longbing Island. I... have an adventurous idea."
Shen Ye looked at him quietly and almost immediately saw through what he wanted to do. "Without the magic energy, they will die soon."
Xiao Hao shook his head and said hesitantly: "According to my observation, their illness is delayed by the medicine. If they continue to take the medicine, they may be able to hold on for decades."
Shen Ye paused and said bluntly: "There is no room for 'maybe' in this matter."
Xiao Hao knew his concerns and sighed: "The matter of migration is very complicated. We must find out the longest period that the medicine can last as soon as possible. If... we mix a small number of people who are not infected with magic energy and rely on medicine to survive among the tribesmen sent to the lower world..."
Shen Ye clenched his fists in his sleeves, and asked with a "huh": "You want me to use their lives for experiments?"
"..." Xiao Hao knew that this was against the moral principles, so he closed his eyes, but still said firmly: "I will also try my best to develop a Yanjia that can filter out polluted air to increase their survival time in the lower world. The latest news from Master Tang said that perhaps a numb ingredient can be mixed into it to delay the onset of their illness and prevent them from feeling pain."
If it is feasible to rely on medicine, then there is no need to worry about Li Peng, and they can focus on dealing with him.
Shen Ye pondered for a moment, staring at his palm and said, "Sacrificing a long lifespan in exchange for a few decades of reproduction and survival in the lower world... Do you think that my Lieshan tribe will be like the human race in the lower world, growing old, getting sick and dying like summer insects and mayflies?"
Xiao Hao lowered his head and said, "Although a few decades is a short time, it is enough for me to grow up safely, get married and have children."
Shen Ye stared at him and asked, "I remember you said someone can cure this disease."
Xiao Hao nodded, "He fell into a secret realm that connects to the future . , not here. If these tribesmen who rely on medicine can wait until that day in the future, perhaps they don’t have to worry about their lives in the future. But the Jumu wood will wither at most in a hundred years. In these hundred years... "
Shen Ye suddenly sneered, "If they can't wait for that person, or die the day before that person arrives, wouldn't it be a sacrifice in vain. "
Xiao Hao was speechless, and said solemnly: "If you gain something, you must lose something. Everything has a price to pay."
"..." Shen Ye was silent for a long time, clenched his hands and flicked his sleeves and said: "Do it."
There is actually no difference between killing one person and killing many people.
There is actually no difference between bearing one crime and bearing many crimes.
It is not a naive idea to succumb to compassion or to harm fewer people, but the moment I decided to cooperate with the inner demon, I had silently vowed to get rid of him at all costs.
For those of them who have long been abandoned by time, why would they care about their life span?
After getting Shen Ye's affirmative answer, Xiao Hao discussed with him for a whole night, trying to complete all the details. If possible, perhaps Cangming could avoid the end of being destroyed both physically and spiritually.
But the sacrifices and trade-offs involved are really hard to describe.
Only someone like Shen Ye can be decisive in killing and dare to give up and take responsibility.
He must love everyone around him deeply. Although they look like the lonely moon in the sky, unattainable, like ice and frost, they support the entire City of Gods on their shoulders.
Xiao Hao always respects people who come out of Liuyue City.
"…As for Li Peng, my spiritual power conflicts with his, and he is naturally afraid of me. When the time is right, I have a way to make him jealous and afraid to urge him too much." Xiao Hao vaguely thought of the message that Ziyin had asked Master Tang to convey before, and felt a little uneasy. Tai'a in the sword tomb has been damaged for many years. If there is any movement in the ginkgo tree, it can only be that it has encountered a familiar spiritual power. Those immortals and gods in ancient times had long gone to heaven and never came to the human world again. If they are really old friends... I'm afraid that heaven can't keep it secret.
Shen Ye stared at Xiao Hao, but didn't ask anything, and acquiesced to his plan.
"The high priest is unexpectedly easy to talk to. I'm really a little flattered." Xiao Hao tried to ease the overly serious atmosphere and spoke.
Shen Ye turned his face to the side, his expression still cold and indifferent, "I am the high priest of the Lord of Cangming City. She trusts you, and I trust her, that's all."
Xiao Hao curled his lips when he heard this, "From now on, try to hide my trips to Liuyue City from Li Peng, so as to avoid his suspicion."
"Of course."
*
Shi Zhixuan's injuries have healed, but there is no sign of waking up, so Xiao Hao no longer leaves him with Tong, but puts him in the gang territory and carries him with him. Chuqi has a new spiritual power circulation system, which makes Shen Ye much more satisfied.
The migration of Liuyue City finally began. The branches of the rectangular wood with evil spirits were thrown into the lower world, secretly devouring the seven emotions of the people in the lower world. Sometimes there were news that the whole village turned into a monster, but it was often not taken seriously by the immortal world because of its remote location.
Xiao Hao became more and more elusive in the three realms. The news that the first assassin of the Tang Sect had returned had long spread throughout the lower world, and Xiao Hao always maintained a perfect record of zero misses. He would go to Wushan at a fixed time every month to investigate the whereabouts of Changqin, and then send some fresh toys to the young people in Tangjiabao and take on new tasks. After that, he searched for the secret sect Yanshu from all over the world, and secretly met with Yan Xie from time to time to discuss with him the details and structure of Yanjia filtering the filth.
The previous night of fighting in Tang Sect led to the monsters fighting for the inner elixir, and the scene was extremely tragic. Xiao Hao was targeted by the Ten Demons. They thought that the stolen inner elixirs were Xiao Hao's, but they seemed to have noticed that Xiao Hao did not have the bloody stench that was common on the cultivators who wantonly hunted for the inner elixirs of monsters. Therefore, although they followed Xiao Hao, they never took action.
The first batch of Liuyue City residents who went to the lower world were in good condition. Except for a few people who could not withstand the demonic energy and turned into ash after being demonized, most of the people survived in good health. Those who voluntarily took medicine and accepted observation were mixed in with those infected with the demonic energy and looked no different from ordinary people.
It was still early and everything was still in time.
Time passed quickly, and the three generations of Tang Sect disciples had grown up to be independent. Xiao Hao was very pleased to see that they had redeveloped the skills of the Thousand Machine Box.
"Brother Ritian, what did you bring back this time? Don't bring back the little pig again, right?"
Tang Xuejian had grown into a tall and graceful young lady in the blink of an eye. This girl followed Jingtian, the pawnshop in Yong'an, to cause trouble in the three realms all day long, and was entangled with the disciples of Shushan and the descendants of Nuwa, and almost caused a big disaster for the demon spirits created by the Shushan old men.
Fortunately, Xiao Hao had foresight and had cleared out all the evil forces such as the Pilitang near the Tang Sect twenty years ago, which allowed the Tang Sect to survive this catastrophe.
It was not easy for the Tang Sect to revive. If he had not made preparations in advance, Tang Kun and others would have died in this catastrophe. Except for Tang Xuejian, all the people in the Tang Family Castle would have been disabled and turned into useless people.
Now they are all safe, and Xiao Hao is very happy.
It's a pity for Tang Feng and Tang Yi, who didn't have the blessing to see the prosperity of the Tang Sect today.
"...... Uh," Xiao Hao held a poisonous piglet behind his back, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "The piglet... isn't it cute? It can roll eggs and deliver letters..."
Tang Xuejian glared at him angrily, "In the early years, you sent Mu Wutong and Mu Xiaodai back, and Cang Ye and the others were so jealous! Now they all have one, and they don't think it's rare anymore. Ever since I praised the piglet you made, "My dear, count for yourself how many pigs you have brought back over the years! Piglets on bamboo slips, piglets with sheathed knives, piglets with darts, piglets on wooden boards... Is it a pig again this time?!"
Xiao Hao was sweating and looking at the sky, hesitating whether to hand over the piglets with poison arrows to Tang Xuejian, when he was bumped by an excited potato from behind. Huaying turned into a human form and pounced over, saying excitedly: "My benefactor! The pigs you make are getting more and more beautiful!"
"..." "..." My dear child, this is not the way to spoil a show.
Xiao Hao faced Tang Xuejian's unpleasant gaze, raised his head and scratched his cheek, "...Ahem, I'm here to see Second Uncle this time. Is he still in the pharmacy?"
Tang Xuejian was unhappy with him changing the subject, but she didn't continue talking nonsense, and continued, "Second Uncle...Grandpa has recently said that his time is coming to an end, so you'd better go and see him earlier. It's just that Sister Su Xin hasn't come back for a long time, I don't know if she can see him for the last time."
She suddenly remembered something and grabbed Xiao Hao's arm, "By the way! I was..."
She hesitated, and Xiao Hao knew that she was always straightforward, so he became suspicious. "Just say whatever you want to say."
Tang Xuejian pulled him aside mysteriously, "When Jingtian and I went to the God Realm to ask for the Wind Spirit Pearl, we met..."
She struggled a lot, not knowing how to start, and said vaguely: "He... he should have taken me back, but he asked me a lot of strange questions, and showed me an unfamiliar man in bright yellow clothes. I said I had never seen him, and he actually let me go!... I plucked up the courage to ask who that man was, and he said something like...'Things that have been broken should not exist in the world.'"
Xiao Hao's heart sank slightly, it was Fuxi.
No wonder, it seems that the God who secretly went to the Sword Tomb was him.
Fuxi discovered him? This is not good news for Xiao Hao now.
Master Tang's time is coming up. He promised Master Tang that he would send him back to his original world. However, the Mirror of Travel in Liuyue City has been sealed by Li Peng. Xiao Hao tried to approach the mirror in stealth mode many times, but failed.
If he wanted to send Master Tang back, the only way was to go to the Well of Gods and Demons.
The Well of Gods and Demons was heavily guarded. He was fully prepared for this trip, but he suddenly learned about Fuxi from Tang Xuejian, and knew that this trip would be troublesome.
