Chapter 68: Swords Hidden Ability, Sounds and Colors · Thirteen
According to rumors, the bones of the evil-repelling beast can revive the dead and give birth to all things, but this is an exaggerated rumor after all, and there is a suspicion of misconception, so it cannot be fully believed.
However, in fact, the bones of the evil-repelling beast do have some special functions.
Using the bones of the evil-repelling beast, you can gather thousands of spiritual energy to form a "body". Although it is not made of flesh and blood, it is no different from being born and raised by nature. What is even more rare is that this "body" is not like an ordinary dead object. It can carry souls, even wild souls.
The evil-repelling clan was born in the demonic realm. Although they were born in the dark, they have the light power to break evil. They are extremely powerful, and together with the Qilin clan, they are called "Benevolent Beasts", but this kind of demon clan rarely walks in the human world.
It is impossible to even see a living demon beast, let alone obtain its bones.
Moreover, after the demon beast dies, it turns to ashes in the wind. If you want to obtain its bones, you must take its bones while it is still alive and let it give them willingly. Otherwise, this special bone can only be left in word of mouth and in ancient books.
Xiao Hao didn't know how precious the Exorcist's Bone was. When he heard that this man wanted to take his bones himself, he was shocked and asked in confusion, "You...you don't want to live anymore?!"
The Exorcist laughed and said harshly, "I know my luck has run out today. After I die and turn into dust...I will disappear between heaven and earth together with my fellow tribesmen who died in this temple. I won't be lonely. This body of bones will eventually return to dust, so I might as well use them to repay you for your kindness today. You will definitely be able to use the Exorcist's Bone in the future."
Xiao Hao vaguely guessed that the Exorcist's Bone might be some precious material, but with such a living person in front of him, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
"...If I take your bones alive, you will probably die of pain."
Bixie chuckled twice and coughed, "I didn't expect to survive...I hope you can help me."
Xiao Hao saw the health bar above his head dropping with the dots. Without Changqin here, he, a Cangjian, could not save the person in front of him. Tiangong Suoye took it out of his backpack and clenched it in his hand.
The system has marked a sign on his head that can be cut into pieces. Xiao Hao hesitated for a while and closed his eyes tightly.
Compared to ending this person's life with his own hands, the request of a dying person is obviously more important.
If he lets him die with regret because of his cowardice, it would be a betrayal of his trust and kindness.
"...Okay, I'll take you on your way."
Xiao Hao raised Tiangong Suoye, and the moment he chose the butcher's knife, his body moved on its own.
The system's knife moves crisply and neatly, perhaps it can save him some pain.
When he finished reading the article and opened his eyes again, there was only a blood-soaked silver spear in front of him. The wind blew, Xiao Hao looked back, and there were countless corpses of Nuo witches lying inside and outside the temple.
It seems that the tribesmen who warded off evil spirits were just like him, and disappeared in this bleak wind after death, so when Xiao Hao came to the Yanshan, he didn't find any other people's shadows.
[Ding! The hero wiped out the wild god Xie Gou, stopped his conspiracy to disrupt the world, and saved the people, and his status was +2000. 】
【Current achievement: Hidden Yuan Secret · Satisfaction, progress: 7941/10000. 】
He put away the silver spear for warding off evil and the bone for warding off evil brought by the chef. Now that he had a systematic explanation of the materials, he finally understood what the bone for warding off evil was. Now
that the matter of the hook had been dealt with, there was no time to waste, he had to rush back to heaven immediately.
However, when he stood up and read the divine movement, he found something wrong.
【The meridians are damaged, and the power cannot be used. 】
Xiao Hao was stunned. This familiar system prompt made him a little dazed. He read the divine movement again and heard this sentence again.
Xiao Hao hurriedly checked his condition. He still had 4% of his health left, but there seemed to be something under his health bar...
He didn't see clearly what was written under the icon. The tearing feeling in his chest became stronger, and even his mind was a little unclear. Knowing that he couldn't stay in this turbid place for too long, he hurriedly released the white phoenix that had been trapped in the gang's territory for a long time, and fell to the ground.
The white phoenix flew around him, first landed on his face and pecked him several times, and was disappointed to find that Xiao Hao didn't move at all.
So it grabbed his collar with its claws again, and after struggling and struggling, it found that the heavy sword behind Xiao Hao was too heavy. It couldn't even fly with it, let alone drag it.
The confused white phoenix had a stupid look on its head, and its two small eyes showed a look of helplessness.
*
2,700 years after the Shangyuan Taichu calendar, the God of Wilderness, Jie Gou, colluded with the Nuo witches in the lower world and tested his evil magic on living beings, leading a black dragon to the south of the human world and causing a shipwreck. The Emperor of Heaven, Fuxi, was furious and ordered the spirit of the divine sword Zhaoming to go to the Mount of Yan to attack Jie Gou
. However, as an ancient god, Jie Gou controlled the turbid creatures in the world and was very powerful. After a fierce battle with him, the spirit of the sword Zhaoming killed Jie Gou but was also seriously injured. Fortunately, with the help of the demon eagle, Zhaoming was taken back to the heaven by the human emperor Shennong who happened to pass by Dongshan.
The people of the human world were full of resentment, so Fuxi ordered the prince Changqin to go to the Buzhou Mountain with the fire god Zhurong and the water god Gonggong to hunt down the black dragon that had escaped to the Buzhou Mountain.
Unexpectedly, this evil dragon actually knew the prince Changqin. The prince Changqin was ordered to play the qin for Zhonggu, but he stopped playing suddenly because he recognized his old friend. Zhonggu noticed something was wrong and was angered by the gods of water and fire. The three of them fought on Mount Buzhou.
Mount Buzhou is a place where the spiritual power of heaven and earth is abundant. The spiritual power of the gods of water, fire and Zhonggu was stirred up by each other, and their power was a hundred times stronger than usual. By mistake, the pillar supporting the sky was cracked, causing the pillar of Mount Buzhou to collapse.
Since then, the sky has cracked, the rain has been endless, and the flood in the human world has been endless.
"Why can't you wait until I wake up before making a decision?! I have already broken through the Jinggou Temple as promised, how can you go back on your word?!" Xiao Hao suppressed his anger and questioned Fuxi.
Fuxi looked at him calmly, his tone as emotionless as ever: "Although Jie Gou has been brought to justice, the matter of the Black Dragon must be explained to the human world."
Xiao Hao immediately said: "Jie Gou has admitted that the Black Dragon was controlled by his evil magic. Since I have killed Jie Gou, why can't I explain it clearly to the human world?"
Fuxi turned around and said slowly: "When Shennong brought you back, you slept in the sword body for several days. Who can know what happened in the mountain? What happened? I told you long ago that one day in heaven equals one year in the lower world."
Xiao Hao was about to refute when he heard Fuxi say, "Yuqi came out of retreat the day before yesterday. He and Shennong have discussed a solution to the Zhaoming problem. Ah Hao, you should stop worrying about unnecessary things and solve your own problems first!"
Xiao Hao frowned and said coldly, "Buzhou Mountain is such a dangerous place. I have already reminded you not to move rashly. Why did you insist on doing it?"
Fuxi turned around and glared at him, his expression intimidating without any anger: "I didn't know that you had such a close relationship with the Dragon Clan, and you had to plead for them again and again?"
Xiao Hao pursed his lips into a line and stopped talking silently.
Fuxi sighed, walked up to him and said: "The pillar of Buzhou Mountain collapsed, and the disaster swept the earth. I have punished Zhurong and Gonggong to return to the ruins in the abyss east of Bohai Sea and reflect on their mistakes for a thousand years."
Xiao Hao lowered his head and said nothing. He had known these things for a long time, but this result could have been avoided.
Fuxi continued, "The evil dragon has also been convicted. Chishui woman Xian volunteered to take it as her mount. In the last battle of Zhuolu, Ah Hao seemed to have a good relationship with Chishui goddess? I have agreed to Chishui woman Xian's request. From now on, the evil dragon will lose its freedom forever."
Xiao Hao raised his head suddenly and looked at Fuxi in astonishment.
Fuxi clearly knew his little trick, but he turned a blind eye. What did he mean?
Fuxi continued, "As for Prince Changqin..."
His face turned cold and he said indifferently, "The body of Fenglai's qin was destroyed in the battle of Buzhou Mountain. The battle between the gods of water and fire and the bells and drums was all because of him. Buzhou Mountain collapsed and the people in the lower world suffered. I have removed him from the immortal list forever and demoted him to a mortal. He will be transferred to the afterlife soon. I know you have always been close to him, and I don't want there to be any rift between Zhaoming's heart and mine. If you go find him now, maybe we can talk again before he reincarnates."
Xiao Hao was shocked and worried, and almost immediately wanted to turn around and find Changqin, "...You can show mercy to Qianyu, why don't you let Changqin go?"
Fuxi took in his reaction. The Heavenly Dao hates Fenglai and rejects Zhaoming. Now that Fenglai is destroyed and Yuqi has found a way out, it is a foregone conclusion that Zhaoming will be saved. He thinks Xiao Hao does not need to know the secret.
As the Sword Master of the World, Zhaoming only needs to have an unstoppable determination, and nothing else can hinder him.
Fuxi then said: "The flood in the lower world is overwhelming, and countless lives have been killed and injured. Who do you think should bear this sin? Compared with the human race, only one in ten survived due to the collapse of the pillars of heaven and the raging floods, and compared with the ancient creatures that were extinct due to the turbidity of the lower world, I punish him to be removed from the immortal list forever and reincarnate. Is this punishment too heavy?"
Xiao Hao was silent.
A decision made by God has cost so many people a price. Fuxi could not have failed to anticipate the consequences of this decision.
So why did he do this? His starting point should be the stability of the Three Realms. The current situation is definitely not what Fuxi should always insist on.
Unless he has other purposes.
Xiao Hao suddenly remembered the word "Heavenly Way" said by Yuqi before he closed the door, and suddenly he seemed to understand something.
- Fuxi is playing chess with Heavenly Way. Legend has it
that Fenglai was born with a perfect path, and the fifty strings playing together can make the world return to chaos. Heavenly Way was jealous of Fenglai and wanted to get rid of it, but he got the string of Fenglai by mistake, and the situation of one destruction became a situation of choosing one of the two.
Fuxi chose to protect Zhaoming and give up Fenglai, and the Heavenly Dao seemed...
Xiao Hao thought of what Pixie said to him before his death and the changes in him.
The Heavenly Dao seemed to not want to let either of them go.
Xiao Hao's expression became complicated. Before he intervened, Fenglai would have died for sure. The matter of Buzhou Mountain was probably manipulated by the Heavenly Dao behind the scenes. The original Fuxi did not want Fenglai to become a threat, so he chose to follow the Heavenly Dao. But now that he has come to this world, he will not do as he wishes.
Fuxi looked at his expression and knew that Xiao Hao, who was as smart as he was, must have noticed some clues. He took out a piece of letter and handed it to him, saying, "Not long ago, the Rain God Shang Yang made this prophecy. This letter will be destroyed after reading it. You can decide for yourself."
Shang Yang?
Xiao Hao thought of the rain god who was often with the floating Fei Lian, and took the letter hesitantly. Fuxi waved his hand at him, obviously not wanting to say anything more.
Xiao Hao then left the Yunding Palace and rushed to the sword room without stopping.
At this moment, he only wanted to find Yuqi and Changqin as soon as possible. He was not very good at using the evil-repelling bone, but Yuqi, as the world's number one casting master, would be able to help.
In his arms lay Shang Yang's prophecy:
"... Zhaoming gave birth to two swords, the light and heavy, but only gave birth to one spirit; the heavy sword was shattered in the battle of Zhuolu, and this spirit will be destroyed in the war. The sword heart is split, and the other half of the sword spirit may wake up..."
The author has something to say: Shang Yang: It's time to give birth, hey, it's time to give birth.
Fuxi: Save the younger one.
Yuqi: Can't we save both of themΣ( ° △ °|||)︴? !
Shennong: Eh? What are the two upstairs talking about? It's obviously my daughter who is about to be born...
Haohao [shocked]: What? ! This young master is about to give birth? !
