The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

It is impossible to tell how many floors the tower has from the inside or the outside, but the internal structure looks complicated. It is probably because the Red Viper Clan deliberately designed it this way by human craftsmen in order to avoid natural enemies. Once they entered the tower, it was as if they were completely isolated in another space. The sea water had receded, the air was abundant, and they could move freely as if on land.

It was dark on the top floor of the tower, and she couldn't see the structure clearly. She asked the two people behind her, "Can I light a candle?"

It turns out that neither of these two people has the fire spiritual root. Jing Chen belongs to gold, Long Jin belongs to water, and even she herself belongs to ice. Thinking of this, she suddenly missed Feng Xiao who has the fire spiritual root... It has been a long time since we last met. I don’t know what he is doing now. If there is no antidote, will he feel itchy all over?

There are two people following behind her, and she is thinking of one thing in her mind... Very good, it fits her Aquaman character very well.

At this time, Long Jin took out a white gem for lighting from his sleeve. As soon as the gem came out of his sleeve, it immediately illuminated the surroundings. The magical thing was that the gem seemed to be a spiritual magic weapon. After being thrown by Long Jin, it followed Long Jin's head like a pet and illuminated him.

Jing Chen calmly put the half-burnt candle back into his sleeve, but this subtle action was seen by Long Jin, who quickly snorted in response: "This is the illuminating bead of my Liyuan Palace. Huajing is full of mechanical devices. How come you are one step slower than me?"

Jingchen: “…”

Really, men are too immature and often like to compete in some useless things.

Mu Hanxing sighed and walked around with the help of the light from the illuminating beads. There was nothing in the tower, not to mention any snake monsters. However, she saw murals on the surrounding walls that looked like ancient ruins.

Judging from the depth of the carvings and the brushstrokes, this group of murals must have belonged to the same series as those painted on the stone bricks on the top of the tower, and must have been completed in the same period of time.

Mu Hanxing found the first painting based on the general content of the painting.

Then, looking from the beginning, the murals on this entire wall probably tell the story of Chigui and Zhulong in ancient times.

"Is this... the story of Chigui's ancestor and your father?" Mu Hanxing looked carefully and found that the two protagonists in the painting were different from those outside. It looked more like a story about the grandfather's generation.

Long Jin took a closer look and was stunned.

The three people studied it for a long time, and with Long Jin's memories of his father, they finally understood the murals on this wall.

A hundred years ago, there were two vipers practicing together in a stream and cloud stream in heaven. The stream and cloud stream was a silver spring river somewhere in heaven.

There is a long river across the sky, with clear springs flowing around it and dreamy peach trees planted around it. This place not only has excellent scenery, but also has neither excessive fresh air nor chaotic turbid air. It is a perfect place where yin and yang are in perfect harmony and all living things in the world can practice meditation.

The first to discover this place were the two vipers, one red and one green.

Qinggui is a gifted man. After practicing in the excellent Fuguang Baodi, his cultivation level has improved rapidly, and he will soon be able to soar in the sky. However, Chigui's cultivation level has stagnated. He stays with Qinggui all day long, and the two of them practice for almost the same amount of time. What went wrong?

Afterwards, Chigui began to continue practicing while Qinggui was dormant. He couldn't believe that he couldn't beat Qinggui. As long as he practiced longer than Qinggui, he would be able to fly just as well! He could even fly higher than Qinggui!

However, things went against his wishes. As time passed, not only did Chigui's cultivation level grow slowly, he also began to be afraid of the daylight. The heavenly realm also alternated between day and night due to the passage of time.

As soon as the sunlight was exposed, Chigui would feel that his whole body was as painful as if it were burned by fire. At first, he thought that he had practiced too much and gone insane. He even suspected that Qinggui had discovered that he was practicing secretly and cast some magic on him, deliberately delaying the time for him to be reborn and become a real dragon.

Because of the unbearable pain in his body, which felt like it was being burned by fire every day and to the point where he couldn't even look directly into the sunlight, and his cultivation was stagnant, Chi Hui began to go crazy all day long. He would quarrel with Qing Hui for no apparent reason over trivial matters. Finally, one day, Chi Hui couldn't stand the sunlight any more and dived into the stream next to him to avoid it.

It was only then that he realized that only by surviving in water, or even in the mud under the river, could he avoid the burning pain of his eyes and skin.

That day, Qinggui finished his training and came to the stream to look for Chigui, but found Chigui staying in the water. Although his face was expressionless, he was disheartened. Qinggui called to him from the shore: "What are you doing? Why are you staying underwater?"

Chigui gave him a cold look under the water and said coldly, "Get away from me."

Qinggui was not a good-tempered person. He frowned and scolded, "Did you take the wrong medicine these days? Am I hindering your practice?"

Chigui sneered and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Why, are you going to transform into a dragon soon? Are you coming here to show off to me?"

Green Viper was straightforward and stubborn. He could not hear the jealousy and provocation in Red Viper's words. He just replied honestly: "You and I have only practiced here for a hundred years. How can it be easy to become a real dragon? If you are not diligent, it is even a fantasy. I came here just to tell you that although you and I are both Vipers, it seems that our ancient bloodlines are not the same. I know that you have been having difficulty improving your cultivation recently, so I deliberately went to find the old elders of the Viper clan. After asking them, I learned that if the bloodlines are different, you cannot practice with the same method, otherwise you will get half the result with twice the effort."

"So? You feel relieved, but what should I do?" Chi Hui looked at him and asked in a cold and provocative tone.

"There are time changes here with day and night alternating, and seasons rotating. The old predecessors said that the Red Viper clan is feminine. If you can survive the 49 days of sunshine in the summer and complete the tribulation, you can be reborn and succeed in your cultivation. At that time, you can be like me, and after another 400 years of cultivation, you can become a real dragon." Qingwei said to him seriously.

But these words shocked Chigui and made him feel terrified. Summer... sunshine... 49 days!? Didn't they want him to die?

Chigui's expression suddenly changed. He looked fiercely at Qinggui, who was standing on the shore with a calm face, at the bottom of the river.

He said it so lightly, as if it had nothing to do with him... Yes, the pain wouldn't happen to him anyway, so why am I here to pretend to be a nice person in front of him?

He gritted his teeth, but because of the ripples of the river and the peach petals falling on the river surface, his face full of hatred was covered tightly.
