"Because the curse on our family has finally come to an end." Emperor Taiming said, "In the battle of the gods back then, the winner was a saint, and the loser was a devil. Dao disappeared, the resentment persisted, and countless true demons were born in Wudu Seabed. And the leader of the group of demons is..."

Marquis Yongning only saw His Majesty's lips move, but after the last word left the speaker's mouthpiece, it seemed to be swallowed by the void, and not even a breath sound reached his ears.

Emperor Taiming paused, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you and I are mortals, so I can't say that name."

"This 'chief of demons' feeds on monsters. As soon as he was born, the stars were in chaos. The saints joined forces and failed to kill him. In the end, my ancestors of the Zhou family sacrificed their lives to achieve the seal of the ten directions, and scattered the big demon. Wudu seabed. Since then, Wudu seabed has not been monitored by the immortal gate, and non-Zhou blood cannot enter. Xuanyin Mountain betrayed us. Emperor Gaozong ventured through the soul-returning vortex and descended Wuduhai. He originally wanted to be there Raising a private soldier, it was unexpectedly discovered that the demon seeds scattered on the seabed of Wudu were still alive, and they were not good, but... implying the breath of the big demon back then, Emperor Gaozong, that old lunatic, made a piece to general Zhou's family. The thing that EMI dragged into the nightmare—he made his trusted monk pick out his own spiritual bones."

The old madman calls others an old madman...

Marquis Yongning didn't know what to think for a moment: "Gaozong is the son of Princess Duanrui's brother, so he is also an innate spiritual bone?"

"That's right, their blood seems to have returned to their ancestors. Gaozong saw his aunt's path with his own eyes, and refused to enter Xuanyin again. When he was in his prime, his spirit bones were removed. Since then, he has been plagued by many diseases, and died two years later. , left an altar of white bones on the seabed of Wudu." Emperor Taiming said, "The demon seeds are like the waste discarded by the world, they are the corpses of monsters, and they cannot be nourished by spiritual energy like all things, except for the spirit bones of the Fumo clan. Bone marrow transformed by aura... You said that the way of heaven leaves a thread for all things, isn't it very mysterious?"

In the warm pavilion that is like spring all the year round, Marquis Yongning's old cold legs are aching from Emperor Taiming's voice.

"Spiritual bones have to be fully enlightened. The extraction of monks' spiritual bones will definitely be noticed by Xuan Yin. Fortunately, our family has innate spiritual bones. As soon as those spiritual bones are born...even before they are born, they are separated from the physical body and fall to the bottomless sea. , constantly absorbing spiritual energy, condensing into spiritual marrow, and nourishing the demon seeds. The demons are constantly recovering from the demon seeds, and then swallowed into the void, and turned into the nourishment of the leader of the demons. The blessing of the Tuonan Mine, since Renzong, There is no way to cross the bottom of the sea, and the devil's breath travels thousands of miles in a day."

After hearing his words, Marquis Yongning felt a chill rushing up from his liver and gallbladder: "Your Majesty, was it really because the head of Lancang went mad when he committed crimes in the south and the north?"

"Seriously," Emperor Taiming said, "He is greedy and secretly lures the moon-plated gold to the earth, so that the Lingshan is short-lived and the people's time is lost. If the head of Lancang has not gone mad, compared to brazenly breaking the pattern of the five major sects, showing injustice The masters and even the Dao heart are broken, and the world is fighting together... They could actually rein in the precipice, turn over the spirit stones from other countries at a high price, and slowly recuperate. It's just... the master of the cicada like the head of Lancang, the Dao heart should be as strong as iron , and why did he become obsessed?"

"Because of what?"

"Because the eldest princess Jiade died that year. The eldest princess Jiade was a sacrificial offering of Renzong's generation. She was weak and sick, never married, and lived in a secluded palace. But there are rumors that she died not because of illness, but because of dystocia. ——Renzong's eldest son was born at that time, the son of brother-sister rape, the innate spiritual bone of the next generation."

What's the matter... Yongning Hou was stunned by the throbbing pulse in his neck.

"Suppressed by the seal of the ten directions, monsters are inseparable from Wuduhai. Only when new sacrifices sink in and the group of demons revel, the seal will loosen... Heh, maybe the ancestors were pissed off by the unworthy descendants. When Renzong sank the spirit bone of his eldest son into Wuduhai, taking advantage of the loose seal, he brought out a heart demon seed from it and planted it in Lancang Mountain." Emperor Taiming sighed, "It is not Lancang Zhang who is crazy. The door, it's Renzong."

Marquis Yongning sat in a daze for a long time, feeling that pouring out the black mud from the Zhou family could block the Grand Canal for half a year. Against this background, the man in front of him became enlightened and rational: "...I don't recognize the word 'benevolence' soon."

Emperor Taiming said quietly: "That was intentional."

"what?"

"Shortly after I was born, my mother and concubine went away, and Anyang was only two years old. The youngest sons without a mother in the palace are usually given to the queen or other concubines to take care of them, but Anyang and I were almost brought up by our elder brothers. Later he left the palace Jianfu, the county prince's mansion is our home. Otherwise, how could Anyang have so many opportunities to go out of the palace when he was young?" Emperor Taiming said, "In the palace, brothers and sisters of the same mother are indeed closer than others, but Unlike us, who depend on each other for life, this unusual intimacy is deliberately cultivated by the previous generation."

"why?"

"The purpose is to continue the altar of white bones. The Zhou family will not have a fool like you. They would rather let the dead die in vain and the whole family go into exile, but also scrape up the gangrene attached to the bones. Each of us learned from our parents At the time of this secret, he was already guilty of serious crimes, and he could never leave that altar again... For thousands of years, only one person, Ying, knew the truth through the pain of being sucked by demons. Even if Wuduhai sealed his mouth , so that he cannot reveal this secret to outsiders, and he is destined not to be manipulated like this. How did your Concubine Dao’s later children disappear?” Emperor Taiming sighed, “It’s really a demon star from the sky. Ah...coincidentally, at his place, on the bones of Eternal Dynasties, the Great Demon is finally about to come true. Nine years ago, the Great Demon’s eyes opened the tsunami of the Returning Soul Vortex, and he swallowed half of the demons in the Uncrossing Sea. Recently Xuan Yinshan should be very nervous, because the Sea of ​​Stars showed a catastrophe for no reason... the magic seal is about to be broken, Zhengde, don't you think this is God's will?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being rude. If God really has the will... If the sky really has eyes, it would have been time to punish Zhou."

Emperor Taiming laughed softly: "Heaven has eyes..."

In the depths of the valley without crossing the sea, the altar trembled, and the joints and teeth of the white bones on it rattled with the vibration.Immediately afterwards, the weird laughter turned into a whistling, and there was a "buzz"—a strong wind rose out of thin air in the valley.

The wind seemed to be able to penetrate one's ears at once, and Xi Ping was swept up into the sky just as soon as Xi Ping put away his spirit bones.

Instinctively, he played the bone qin just like the time when he fell off the north slope of Feiqiong Peak, but the rapid sound of the qin echoed in the valley, but it didn't shake the rocks covered with inscriptions at all, and he couldn't even resist the wind. .

The tyrannical wind slammed him against the mountain wall. At the same time, a pair of scarlet eyes were exposed in the cave facing him. The eyeballs were a foot in size, waiting maliciously for the blow of the strong wind. Snacks!

Fortunately, Banxian's body was far stronger than ordinary people, so Xi Ping, relying on the force of the wind, turned around suddenly in mid-air, raised his hand and drew his sword.He heard a "choke", and his sword hit a hard object.

The owner of the blood-red eyes was a huge snake with a human head and four legs. Its thick body was covered with scales, and on its neck was a human head as big as a dining table for four.

Xi Ping's sword just hit the "man"'s face, as if he had cut a stone, and the sword blade swung along the force of the gangster rubbed sparks with the monster's face.Immediately afterwards, Fan Tie was completely defeated, the sword snapped, and Xi Ping was bounced to the nearby stone wall!

The monster moved as swiftly as a four-legged snake, and jumped out of the hole in the blink of an eye, clawing at Xi Ping with its sharp claws.Xi Ping pulled out the twined spirit silk, and cut to the inscription on the mountain wall without hesitation.The aura that flowed smoothly in the inscription was blocked by the lingering silk for a moment, and the rock that carried the inscription collapsed directly, and a flood of aura spewed out, blocking the monster's sharp claws and slowing down the wind!

When the wind stagnates, Xi Ping's blown "kite" immediately rolls down the rocks. Countless monsters protrude from the rock walls and caves. There are human figures, shadows, and monsters that would take a page to describe... …

During the shock, all the bones turned towards him slowly, and their open and closed teeth seemed to be saying something angrily—Wuzhi Lizi, how dare he tamper with the foundation accumulated by hundreds of generations of resentful souls!

Xi Ping only took one look before looking away, his gaze was as hard as a stone, and he said in his heart, "What's none of my business? You can't complain."

He avoided a bunch of hands and claws in a dangerous way, and spotted a boulder with slightly sparse inscriptions. When he rolled there, he grabbed the stone to stop his fall, and raised his hand to buckle a common time seal in the gap between the inscriptions middle.

Before Xi Ping went to a strange place, he would habitually stamp a spiritual seal in advance at the place where he started, whether it was necessary or not.

In sealing the magic seal, although he can't use his own spirit energy, the spirit seal seems to be okay!

The two seals overlapped in an instant, and Xi Ping held the half-cut sword and swung himself up with one hand. At this moment, a claw like a dead branch grabbed his ankle, trying to pull him down!

Xi Ping looked down, and saw that there were countless bloody mouths waiting to eat him up, but within a few breaths, the Wudu seabed of "Qifeng" was already filled with blood mist.

The monster's malicious eyes seem to have floated up from the bottom of the nightmare, and one look can shake the spirit platform.

Xi Ping looked straight into those eyes without dodging, but thought in his heart: After all these years, the spirit bones of third brother have been with these things?

He bit down his teeth fiercely, and slashed at his ankle with a broken sword with his backhand: "Go to hell, I'll see you off!"

The half-immortal's hand cut off the ankle bone cleanly, and the flesh and the monster fell together. The blood spurted from the wound was swept up by the strong wind, and Xi Ping was wrapped in the blood rain. Back to the reincarnation wood forest.

The reincarnation wood forest seemed to be startled by his flesh and blood, and Gu Mu trembled.

Several monsters chased after the spirit seal before it disappeared. Xi Ping was unable to hold the broken sword anymore, and when the sword dropped, his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, and his eyes turned black: "Help, help me!" ..."

The reincarnating wood dropped the vines, picked up the blood man, and the monsters who rushed over caught it.Then the tree vine threw Xi Ping into the dense forest behind him, and threw him into the arms of another tree vine.

The angry roars of the monsters echoed throughout the Reincarnation Forest, and the towering ancient trees collapsed under their sharp claws.

Xi Ping only felt that he had never been so focused in his life, and that people who were focused to a certain extent could actually reduce the pain.

Since he was a child, he felt that the third brother and the noble concubine were weird, and he was always puzzled. He asked his mother secretly once, but his mother looked like she was about to cry, so he didn't dare to ask again.

At this moment, he seemed to have finally seen what was hidden under the undercurrent of those closest relatives, and vaguely guessed something, but he didn't dare to think about it right now.

Xi Ping remembered that the third brother always went out of the palace when he was young, but he wasn't just playful... He was easily tired of doing anything, and he couldn't stop being greedy.Just in the name of visiting my grandmother, I sat in Mrs. Xi's backyard for a whole day, listened to those excerpts that I had heard a hundred times, drank tea that was weaker than water, and seemed to be older than my grandmother in her seventies. of.

Xi Ping thought: No wonder he would rather spend a day weeding in the garden with the old lady than go back to Guangyun Palace.

No wonder he was only 15 years old, he left the palace early to build a mansion before he was an adult, and he only brought a dog with him when he left.

Xi Ping licked his parched lips, casually took out an inner garment from the mustard seeds, strangled the wound, and stamped another spiritual seal in a hidden bush for later use.

He had to leave here today with the third brother's spiritual bones, and he had to die if he had a chance to die, otherwise the third brother would have nothing to do with the Xi family in the future, how could he go to the old lady's garden to drink tea and pull weeds?

If the old lady's garden can't be visited, where else can he go?

Xi Ping wiped the blood from his hands on his body, reached into the mustard seeds and grabbed King Zhuang's spiritual bone: "Third brother, how many exits are there for that inscription you mentioned?"

"There's only one," said Zhuang Wang, it's too late to scold him, other than helping him get out as soon as possible, "but the location is not fixed, it's connected to the return vortex, and it has something to do with the flow of sea water in the return vortex , it’s okay if you only stay inside for a while, the longer the delay, the farther the exit will move.”

Before he finished speaking, the contact with Xi Ping was cut off again.A shadow-like monster sneaked in without anyone noticing, and the hair-like devilish energy protruding from his body wrapped Xi Ping, and it was getting tighter and tighter.Xi Ping pulled out the twining silk, and violently stirred it up, stirring a hole in the "hair" wrapped around his body, and when he landed, he stamped the total time seal again.

When the person passed through the spirit seal, the reincarnation tree behind him seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection with him, and it fell down the moment he disappeared, pressing down the monster that was about to catch up.

Xi Ping got rid of the monster that was chasing him, and got out from the spiritual seal left earlier...but bumped into a "person".

The "person" was tall and tall, with a smile on his mouth, sitting on a fallen reincarnation tree trunk, looking at him with a pair of eyes as warm as jade, he couldn't be more familiar.

Third brother?

Xi Ping stopped suddenly, and the obedient reincarnation tree vines suddenly rolled him up, pulled him back, and retreated more than a foot in a wary manner.

"Huh?" The "Prince Zhuang" was slightly surprised, "You little brat is so sharp, are you also an inspiration above grade A? You actually saw it through as soon as you saw it."

Xi Pingxin said that his elder brother Daoist is here, and he slapped him over early, how can he still smile at him?Go dreaming.

At the same time, watching all directions with his eyes and ears listening to all directions, he found that the monsters who were chasing him and biting by the Shancai tsunami just now were roaring not far away, as if they didn't dare to chase them rashly, and immediately became more vigilant: "It's easy to say."

The face of the "King Zhuang" changed slowly, with slightly plump cheek muscles, weakened bone traces, and distanced eyebrows... With a slight adjustment of his facial features, he no longer looked like King Zhuang, and took on a feminine look.Xi Ping was dazed, and for a while, he saw the characteristics of many acquaintances from that indistinguishable face.

"I'm called a heart demon." The "man" said frankly, bending his eyes and smiling at Xi Ping—the smiling eyes are exactly like his mother's, "Don't be afraid, you are too young, you have never seen the wind and frost, you have never tasted the five flavors, and your inspiration is keen , I'm afraid of people like you."

"Yes," Xi Ping said without hesitation, "Then don't bother me, see you again."

After he finished speaking, Reincarnation Wood suddenly threw him several feet away, and another vine stretched out to catch him. When he jumped the tree for the second time, Reincarnation Tree, which was originally docile, broke out somehow. Crazy, Shuteng suddenly twisted Xi Ping's neck, trying to hang him inside, Xi Ping almost heard the sound of his own bones being dislocated——

The next moment, a scream rang in his ears, and a black shadow was grabbed by the heart demon from the reincarnation tree and swallowed it directly.

The reincarnating wood vines sent Xi Ping, who was missing a foot, to the ground limply, and did not move.

"That's 'parasitic'," Xin Mo put his hands behind his back and looked at him leisurely, "There are such things everywhere in the bottom of the sea, are you sure you can get out by yourself?"

Xi Ping couldn't speak for a moment, he just groped his dislocated shoulder joint with difficulty, and pushed it up with a click.

"Zhou Ying and I are old acquaintances. If you don't believe me, ask him. I taught him all his inscriptions."

Xi Ping was taken aback for a moment - this demon knew that he could contact the third brother.

The inner demon laughed: "Nine years ago, Wuduhai was in turmoil, and I helped him escape from here with his children...but he failed me, it's so sad."

Without his reminding, Xi Ping sneaked into Jiezi and asked Zhuang Wang.

Zhuang Wang: "The heart demon is full of lies, don't believe it."

But the inner demon interjected at the right time: "Aying, you are speaking ill of me."

King Zhuang frowned upon hearing this.

The demon smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, I just want to negotiate a deal with you two... Ah Ying, you little brother, now, you can't use your spiritual energy, and you can't walk on the road. Without a loyal paper friend to help, you let him escape from the mouth of the demons alone?"

King Zhuang's spiritual bones are in the mustard seeds, only when Xi Ping touched him did he hear Wuduhai's voice through Xi Ping, but he couldn't see anything, and was surprised when he heard the words: "What's wrong with you?"

Xi Ping: "Okay, it's not a problem to chop off a few bad boys."
