Dragon soul of the fallen dragon king

In the evening, in the Earth Temple of Zhengming Village, there is still no one here, and it looks quiet, but the incense on the table has not been cut off. It must be that someone has calculated the time to come to change the incense, and the fruit on the table has just been changed in the morning. Because it was placed outside for a day, a layer of dust fell on the offering fruit.

Compared with the temples that are full of incense, this place can only be regarded as deserted.

However, at the entrance of the Earth Temple, a person slowly approached. The person was wearing a dark red robe, and his red hair was flying with the wind. His slender red eyes looked at the Earth God in the Earth Temple with a smile. The mudstone statue, this person is Qiongqi, who was ordered by the Jade Emperor to protect a mortal in the mortal world, and that mortal is the adopted son of the demon king Aoyue, who has Aoyue's demon power in his body, so that Qiongqi really stays in the mortal world It is not the order of the Jade Emperor that protects mortals, but because of Aoyue.

It was because of the order of Aoyue, the demon king whom Qiongqi swears to follow to the death.

Qiongqi walked to the altar, and in the deserted Earth Temple, he spoke slowly as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to someone, "I will leave here temporarily."

"..." No one answered, because there was no one here, but Qiongqi was still looking at the mudstone statue of the God of the Earth. After a while, an old voice sounded in the Earth Temple where there was no one else except Qiongqi: " Didn't the Jade Emperor order you to protect the priest? What, are you bored?"

"He left with me." Qiongqi was not surprised at the sudden voice, but said calmly with a smile on his face.

"..."

The land temple fell into silence again, the voice did not appear again, and Qiongqi just watched quietly. After a while, a white smoke suddenly appeared from the mudstone statue. After the smoke cleared, an old man with gray hair Then he appeared in front of Qiongqi, stared at Qiongqi's face for a long time, then sighed, and said: "He will not leave the villagers of Zhengming Village alone."

"He will follow me." Qiongqi said with certainty.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." The Land God of Zhengming Village looked away from Qiongqi's body, looked into the distance, and said faintly, "Are you going to bring him into the demon way?"

Hearing this, Qiong Qi just shrugged his shoulders and said, "From the moment he became Ao Yue's adopted son, he was no longer a mortal."

"But he has lived as a mortal for more than ten years. He is a mortal, but he can't bear too much magic power. If you torture him to death, the Jade Emperor will punish him." The Jade Emperor accepted the job according to the order of the Jade Emperor, but if Cang Yu died, the Jade Emperor would really punish him and punish him for several crimes.

"He has been sealed for 4000 years, and he has Aoyue's mana in his body. Over these years, he has more or less absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon. Although he still looks like a mortal, he is no longer. You should be very clear about this.

The land god narrowed his eyes and asked, "So you've been training him these days?"

"Yes, and he is very smart, and he accepts very quickly. Although there is very little, he is already able to flexibly use the demon power in his body." Qiongqi replied with a smile.

"For what?" The Land God walked up to Qiongqi, because he was not as tall as Qiongqi, so he could only look up at Qiongqi, and asked, "Why are you working so hard?"

"Of course it's for him to better protect himself, and then to protect the people he wants to protect. For this, strength is needed, right?" Qiongqi replied without thinking, the smiling handsome face couldn't be seen at all. It's a fake, but the God of Land knows that Qiongqi is not that kind of person, he is not the kind of person who can train others in order to keep others alive, he must have his own purpose, which is to make Qiongqi sacrifice everything The purpose achieved...

That's... the reason why Qiongqi is alive.

Suddenly, the land god recalled a long and distant memory. It was not long after Aoyue fell into hell. The whole north became a barren land due to the rampage of monsters. The corpses of the slaughtered mortals have been cleaned up by the heavenly soldiers sent down, and the river has become clear again, but there is nothing there, only sand, stones, anything alive... not even a single fish, even so, the land god Still guarding here.

Without offerings from mortals, the God of the Land looks into the distance every day, day after day.

However, one day, a man with bright red hair and wearing dark red clothes sat at the entrance of the Earth Temple. The God of the Earth knew that the man was a monster, and he was a very powerful monster, just by using his breath. He didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't report to the heaven to expel him. He still looked into the distance every day, and the monster didn't bother him. He sat there every day, and looked into the distance in the same way.

Two people, to be precise, one god and one demon, just like this every day without eating or drinking, and kept looking into the distance.

"There is no one here." However, one day, the monster spoke in a low voice with a hint of charm, which was very nice. He said, "No one offers incense, and no one comes to worship you. Why do you Do you still want to stay here?"

Although the God of Earth is in the temple, he knows everything that happened here, including who said what and what he did, as long as he wants, he can know, and since the red monster came, He devoted part of his energy to paying attention to him. After all, he had just experienced a catastrophe, so even if he left it alone, he still had to be on guard.

So when the red monster spoke, he knew it, and it was addressed to him.

However, the land god did not answer.

"It might be better to change to another place, but it's much more lively than this." Even if he didn't get an answer, the red monster continued, "Unlike me, I can't go anywhere anymore."

There was sadness in his tone, and the land god couldn't help sighing, and revealed his real body.

"I like it here." The land god's gray hair was tied up with a rope, and he walked to the side of the red monster with his slightly bloated body, and said with a sigh: "I like the sunset here."

"I like this place too." The red monster knew that the land god had come to him, but he didn't look at him, and still kept his original posture looking into the distance.

"Really? It seems that the two of us still have something in common."

After hearing this, the monster finally turned his head and looked at the land god, his eyes were also red, he smiled, but couldn't hide the deep sadness in his eyes, he asked: "Aren't you afraid of me? "

"What are you afraid of?" The land god asked back.

"Because I'm a monster." The red monster tilted his head, squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "It's a monster that can kill you easily, aren't you afraid?"

"I know." The land god didn't feel scared because of his words, but laughed, "But you didn't kill me, did you?"

"..." The red monster was still smiling and didn't answer, but the temperature around him dropped sharply, releasing a lot of murderous aura. If he was a mortal, he would have fainted by now.

The two confronted each other for a while, the red monster turned his head and stopped looking at the land god, the strong murderous aura suddenly disappeared, the land god let out a long sigh of relief, at this moment the red monster spoke, he said: "If you are the land god here, you should know I, I am Qiongqi, I am the one who leads all the monsters to slaughter mortals."

"Qongqi? I've heard of this name, but I just guard the mortals who live here, and I don't pay too much attention to monsters." The land god looked at Qiongqi and said: "And so many monsters appear together, the breath has long been If you get mixed up, how can you tell who is who?"

"You won't kill me?"

"Because it's easy for you to kill me."

"As a god, you are really incompetent."

"The mortals are gone, of course I want to protect my own life." The land god said it was a matter of course.

"I killed it."

"Well, that's it..." The land god replied, and then said nothing.

After a brief silence, Qiongqi spoke again and asked, "Do you know how to revive people?"

"Reincarnation."

"What about people who can't reincarnate and can only suffer in hell?"

"……What do you want to do?"

"Rescue someone from hell."

"I beg the Jade Emperor to forgive me."

"no way."

"Then... there is no other way."

"No, there must be." Qiongqi shook his head, "If not, there would be no meaning for me to live."

"There are many meanings to living, not just resurrecting someone."

"But this is the only meaning for me to live." Qiongqi said, stood up, and the land god raised his head following his movement, at this time Qiongqi said again: "Anyway, you are bored here, Why don't you come help me."

"Help you break the rules of heaven?" The land god smiled and shook his head, "I survived with great difficulty, and I don't want to take risks for this kind of thing."

"I'll do everything, just ask you for a little favor."

"But I have no reason to help you."

Qiongqi turned his head, looked at the land god who said such words, and threatened: "If you don't agree, I will kill you."

"That's it..." The Land God smiled, looked into the distance, and said helplessly, "It's difficult, so I have to help you."

The land god smiled, and pulled his thoughts back. Qiongqi's purpose had always been to revive Aoyue. Although Aoyue had already said that he would not come back, he still refused to give up. For thousands of years, he has been tormenting Aoyue like this. Own.

"You...do you want to continue? Do you not hesitate to lead a mortal into the demon way?" The God of Earth asked Qiongqi like this. Although he already knew the answer, he still asked.

"Of course." Qiongqi replied, with a smile on his face, "Because I..."

Even if the land god didn't listen to the latter words, he knew what he was going to say, because he knew that Qiongqi only lived for that purpose.
