Chapter 289 51. The Tree of Eternal Mingshi (6.2k)
The cold wind that lingered around the lake island dissipated without even a ripple, disappearing quietly.
Myolie Chu was seeing off guests.
The Demon King who was called here by her was kicked away by her again and again. While kicking, she chanted the name of Buddha, said family members to see off guests, and sent them off as she said.
Not long after, the isolated island in the middle of the lake became quiet. There was no longer the mottled and messy breath of the demons, and no more splashing and surging lake water. In the long-lost tranquility, even the lawless group of geese were immersed in drinking water. There was no trace of the high-pitched chirping in the past. The goose feathers brushed through the blue water, and the occasional ripples spread out. Only then did people know that they existed here.
After kicking away the last big demon queen, Myolie Chu walked towards the depths of the island.
There were rows of trees, and the sunlight shone down, and only a few weak rays could hit Myolie Chu’s face. Dust floated in the beam, and a swirl of light was stirred up by Myolie Chu’s movement. It is late winter, and the corners that are usually not noticed are filled with withered yellow leaves, which can be heard crisply when walking on the road. Sometimes Myolie Chu thinks about it, so many leaves have fallen, where did the leaves above her head come from?
When all things come to an end, the trees now appear to be fearless in the depths of winter, but in fact they are just a change from the past cycle.
When the tree really gets old, she should be able to see the sunlight pouring down like pillars.
The girl scratched her hair. Maybe by that time, her hair would also be white, just like these trees. When you are old, you are all old.
At the end of the forest path, the path covered with dead leaves ended in a huge open space, an open space so huge that it was unimaginable. All the trees growing on the island stop here, forming a perfect circle in the center of the island. In this "circle", there is only green grass that is soft to the ankles, and looking further into the distance, there are huge tree trunks that can fill the entire painting.
The tree roots are crawling on the ground, like a sleeping black dragon on this grassland.
People facing this tree are like ants facing the ancient trees that can be seen in the world. Just the roots of the tree rising deep in the earth can block the view, making those who are close to it unable to see the sky.
The amount of sunlight an island can carry depends on how much it is willing to pour onto the land.
The trunk of the tree is as jagged as scales and as hard as pig iron, soaring into the sky. The crown of the tree stretches out its branches and leaves at an altitude of 10,000 meters, leaving its traces on the sea of clouds. At that height, when the clouds gather low, they will cover its leaves, bringing thunder from the depths of the sea of clouds. The thunder roars, but the branches and leaves become more and more green. Myolie Chu knows that every time the tree grows now, it will be accompanied by lightning, and branches will sprout in the lightning.
It has been a long time since there was any movement from this ancient tree.
If there is no thunder, the tree stands in eternal silence.
So when the ancient tree trembled slightly, she turned back and saw the familiar figure.
Even now.
Myolie Chu stopped, and in front of her, a figure in mysterious clothes stood quietly beside the ancient tree, reaching out to touch the rough surface of the trunk.
She knelt down and slid along the soft grass to the figure's legs. Her knees were brought together to draw a trace on the grass. "You are a heartless mountain god. You are back. You know that in order to support such a big business like yours, this little girl , How much effort did you put in? I don’t know, you only care about yourself! Wuwuwu..."
Myolie Chu lowered her head and wiped her tears, bursting into tears.
"Look at those three ferocious Demon Emperors, they all came to force me to marry them, saying that they must have this piece of land! I said there was nothing good about this piece of land, there was nothing good about it, but they just didn't believe it, they just said that this piece of land was good. , it’s a prime location in Taihang, we can’t get it! What else did they say, either hand over this land or keep it with me, Lord Mountain God, look at this! Why did the demon say so coldly? Come on!”
Myolie Chu wiped her tears, and took the clothes next to her face to wipe her nose. As soon as she wiped it, she was shocked. The feel of the clothes was really wonderful, it was really Amitabha.
Who would have known that before she even wiped her nose secretly a few times, someone lifted her up by the crotch of her neck.
Looking at the pair of golden vertical eyes, Myolie Chu smiled and put down the clothes in her hands.
But when she got closer, Myolie Chu was suddenly startled, and then she got closer and took a sniff. The big face plate was almost touching Li Xi'an's face.
"What's wrong with you?" She was surprised.
"What kind of ghost smell does this smell like? No, it really smells like a ghost. Have you hit a ghost?" She waved her hands in the air, as if she didn't want to touch my mother.
"The vast sea is coming..." Li Xi'an carried Chu Xing'er and placed her on the treetop of her body.
"I know that the Cangbang Sea is coming, otherwise why would I call those demon kings here? Although your place is good, in the heart of the Yan Kingdom, disasters like the Cangbang Sea can sweep across the entire Jiuzhou, and no place can be spared." Chu Xing'er She just talked to Li Xi'an in the air until she was placed on the top of the ginkgo tree.
Li Xi'an sat down against the ginkgo tree and rested his head gently on the trunk of the ginkgo tree.
Myolie Chu could hear a sigh.
"Those three-headed demon emperors may not be anything to you, but they are a great help to today's Taihang Mountains." Chu Xing'er said, "They are useful, and they are very useful. Just kill one of them like this, and hurry up." If you have two, why should you stay and guard the mountain?”
The figure below was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"I guess so. The ghost is coming to see you. You can't live peacefully in Taihang Mountain." The girl sat on a branch and swung her legs. She used her own leaves to wipe the snot she had not wiped clean before. She found that her leaves were not as useful as those clothes. , "So you really don't want to keep them for use? Qingyan left and you are not here, you can't count on me, right?"
Myolie Chu shook her head crazily, "Don't count on me! Don't count on me. How could the little girl He De be entrusted to her hometown by the first crowned king!"
"Do you know Bai Lu?" A soft voice suddenly came from below.
The bad words that Chu Xing'er had just spat out of her mouth stopped. She leaned forward and looked down, and saw the revered Lord of Taihang sitting blankly under the tree, with his majestic eyes closed. Myolie Chu just glanced at it and felt a sense of fatigue coming over her face.
He was probably tired.
"Actually, it's not impossible for me to help you look after this place. Let me tell you, I'm actually pretty awesome. Buddha, even though I don't think I'm a Buddha, but everyone says so, then I am!"< br>
"How about you just be relieved?" Chu Xing'er said softly.
"The father of Bai Lu, once worked with me to resist the human invasion. At that time, we could only fight with our last breath, and many talented creatures died in that battle." Li Xi'an did not answer, he just said Continue to describe the blood and fire of the past in a plain tone.
"Do you sometimes feel that the Taihang Mountains are in a state of decline?"
"Most of the original batch, the first group of creatures that rose up before the heaven and earth revived are dead. The Taihang creatures you see now, except for me and Qingyan, are actually the creatures that rose up with the complete revival of the world. .”
"But..." At this point, Li Xi'an's closed eyes opened slightly, revealing a dark golden light. He lowered his eyes and said harshly, "Even so, Taihang doesn't need them."
"Those who abandon their homeland will eventually be abandoned."
"But what if they come back? Demon emperors who grew up from the ancient mountains are more powerful than ordinary demon emperors. If they come back after you leave, you can't stop them. This is a fact, isn't it? Even if you come back, Liquidation, but it is also late, and it is meaningless in my opinion. Without Qingyan, without Nanzhu, what is left of this ancient and respected mountain range?" Chu Xing'er smiled? laughed.
Halfway through, Myolie Chu was stunned. She slapped herself loudly, "Amitabha, what the hell! Why are you here? It's me who persuades you to kill, and I'm the one who persuades you to stay. Chijiao, you're not sneaking around. Is it good to touch my vagina?”
"Do you have this thing?"
"That's right." Chu Xing'er nodded solemnly, "Buddha is above me, and I don't care about my deeds but my heart. I think Buddha will forgive me and won't deduct my merits and send me to hell."
"So, having said that, Chijiao, how can you ensure that they won't recover from their injuries and come back? Although I said I would help you, I can only help you look after this pure land. How about Taixing? From a reasonable point of view, I will help you." It doesn't matter." She shook her calves and looked at the red dragon below, waiting for the next step. "You won't let me help you take care of the Taihang Mountains. That's your business. Qingyan can do it, but I can't. I don't want to be born with stunted growth... Hey!"
Unexpectedly, a stone suddenly flew up and hit Myolie Chu on the head.
She screamed in pain and looked around, thinking to herself, what kind of thief dared to act like a monster in front of you, Xing... Master Nanzhu!
But finally, his eyes fell on the figure below.
He fiddled with a few stones at random.
"Let me sleep for a while first." He said, "As for why they can't come back, I'll tell you when I wake up."
"Really? Keep your word?" Chu Xing'er probed her head.
"It counts."
After Li Xi'an finished speaking, the overflowing golden light was covered by his eyes. He put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the ginkgo.
Chu Xing'er raised her head, and she noticed that as Chi Jiao's words fell, the mountain wind blew from the distant lakeside, and the ancient tree dome covering the sky above unknowingly changed the direction of its branches and leaves, blocking the falling sunlight. , the trees were whirling, but it suddenly became quiet here, as if an invisible wall suddenly appeared here, blocking out all the noise.
The winter wind is not harsh, but brings warmth. It lifts the girl's hair and penetrates into the sleeper's dream, soothing his thoughts.
…………
On the edge of Taihang, black and green creatures drove away the Demon King.
The two primitive living beings, the Soaring Snake, the Dragon and the Elephant, stood with their huge bodies among the mountains, coldly overlooking the two demon kings who were almost dying.
It was already late at night, accompanied by the stars and moon, and the two unparalleled demon kings were expelled.
The golden leopard's entire torso was cut off, and it was difficult for him to even walk. He had to rely on a white deer to carry him on his shoulders.
The two extremely desolate figures attracted the prying eyes of countless creatures along the way.
The blood of the Demon Emperor is like the finest wine and poison, making countless creatures willing to look down upon it, let alone the two Demon Emperors who rose from the depths of Taihang and built the Extreme Palace? But these prying eyes are blocked by living spirits, whose mere breath can make spirits fearful.
The soaring snake was winding and its scales were like knives. It lowered its head and spat out a letter, casting a large shadow and covering the open space in front of it.
The cold snake eyes reflected the man with blood all over his body and a huge wound on his back. On the other side, this was the woman in white who was carrying him on her shoulders, but her pure white clothes were stained red with blood, and her moving face was in a mess. Li Xi'an's kick was aimed at her head. Naturally, that face Half of the face was also completely necrotic and swollen with grayish gray.
"Bailu, the front is the end of Jingxing, one of the eight mountains. If Taihang goes out and a big demon comes out to take my life, just leave..." The man with an almost broken body said with difficulty, "You still have a chance. I have no chance of life..."
The woman just turned her head and looked towards the depths of the Taihang Mountains with a sad expression, "Is this mountain god so cold-blooded?"
But she felt the shaking from her shoulders, which was the golden leopard's signal.
"Don't talk too much." The man reluctantly raised his eyes, "I know I should."
"You are the one we have hurt the least, but he actually pities you, Bai Lu. Cough cough... cough cough cough!" He coughed up blood, and Bai Lu reached out to help him, but he stopped him, "In other words, You are actually the cleanest one among us... Ahem... I used to think that God knew what I was doing, and no one could really know what was in my heart. But the moment I met him, I knew that I Wrong.”
Jinbao raised his head and said in a low and slow voice: "Heaven knows and earth knows...he knows!"
"Taihang Mountain God, I originally thought this was just a different name for the crowned king in the Taihang Mountains. Most of the crowned kings in other ancient mountain ranges have their own names... But now I find out why all the spirit masters It is 'God'."
Bloodshot eyes surged wildly, spreading all over the eyeballs like spider webs.
His face was ferocious, and he was holding on to the white deer's arm, as if he was telling an ancient and terrible secret——
"He is a god, he is not a king, he is a god!"
Soaring snakes neighed, and behind them, dragons and elephants trampled the earth, like an earthquake. They are driving away.
Drive these two demon emperors who once held high status in the Taihang Mountains completely out of the Taihang Mountains!
Ahead, at the end of one of the eight peaks in Taihang Mountain, people call it "Jingxing". Bai Lu's thoughts were particularly heavy. She was leaving the place where she had lived for decades. Even if she still had the power of the Extreme Palace Realm, so what?
From today on, she has no home.
One step, two steps...she finally took that step.
Stepped out of... Taihang Mountain!
At the same time, an endless chill climbed up the back and went straight to the forehead! The white deer almost trembled!
Here they come.
The feast of monsters, come and share with the Demon Eater Emperor!
Just one step outside the range of Taihang, and the demons swarmed towards him. The moon and stars in the sky were covered, demonic clouds rolled in, and it was pitch black. Countless pairs of eyes stared at them, greedy and tyrannical.
Bai Lu looked at the waves of demonic clouds spreading from the distance, and subconsciously wanted to activate her spiritual energy, but the next moment, tearing pain swept through her nerves.
Those are not Taihang monsters, but come from the outside world, and there are even humans among them.
Yes, they are so valuable. A demon emperor, a demon emperor who grew up from Taihang, has a fatal attraction in the outside world. Everyone is eager to get the demon emperor, even if it is just a part of the body.
"You have to go!" Jin Bao stared at the demon cloud.
"Bai Lu, you are a spiritual beast, do you know what this means?"
"If you don't leave here, even death will be a luxury for you! Now, immediately! Leave!"
Bailu gritted her teeth and looked behind her at the flying snake on the Taihang Mountains and the dragon elephant rising up like a mountain, but these two living creatures just stood quietly and watched with cold eyes.
Many demons from the Taihang group also noticed this, but both White Deer and Golden Leopard knew that they were either afraid of the king and did not dare to take action, or they hated them.
It seems... there is no way out.
"Let's go." Jin Bao finally sighed, "If it doesn't work, you should turn back immediately and go to Taihang Mountain. Maybe he is just angry and has no intention to kill you."
"It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I don't want to be devoured by these things. They want to climb up on my bones, ha!" the man sneered.
The man whose body was almost broken in two actually left Bai Lu's shoulders and stood up.
He straightened his back and let the blood flow continuously from the huge wound.
"I am the Demon Emperor of Taihang, who are they?!" He roared, his body stretched, the clouds rolled, thunder struck down, and a golden leopard made of gold poked its head out of the black clouds, even though most of his face was missing. His face was peeled off, revealing his white bones. Even though his back was broken and his spine was exposed, he still faced the spreading monsters with majesty like a mountain.
Bai Lu froze on the spot.
She turned around again, and the two huge living creatures disappeared.
It seemed that he was the one who didn't even want to give them a look.
The disgusting smell of blood spread, it was the golden leopard. He only used his magical power for a moment, and was wounded by a big demon holding a halberd. All the magic in the past was gone, and his blood was about to drain.
These creatures who emerged from the resurrected land rushed forward, thirsty for the blood of the golden leopard.
The giant golden shadow roared and rained down thunder, but it was cut off by the big black-faced demon at the front of the demon cloud. Many of the attacks from the group of monsters were on the charred skin and flesh. The spiritual energy could not nourish these wounds at all, and even the scorching breath from these wounds would reversely corrode the golden leopard. The group of demons were excited and also confused. What kind of creature caused this wound?
Extremely weird.
That scorching breath would sometimes even melt the iron they brought with them!
The group of demons looked at the blood-stained woman below again. She was actually kneeling down, kneeling in a certain direction.
"Lord Taihang...please! Save your people!"
The demons were suddenly startled.
The King of Taihang?
The rumored King Chengmian?
Didn't he disappear in Shiwandashan a year ago? He actually came back? It seems that this makes sense, otherwise they would not be able to think of any living beings that could turn these two demon kings who are far beyond ordinary into the situation they see now.
But he was surprised and soon relaxed.
"Send the order!" The black-faced Demon King at the front of the demon cloud said coldly, "They are just exiled creatures, and the Lord Taihang will not interfere in any way!"
The golden leopard roared.
He realized something was wrong.
Previously, they seemed to have overlooked one thing due to the severe physical injuries.
How do the creatures and monsters from the ancient earth know that they have left Taihang here and now? Do you even know that they were exiled by the King of Taihang? He roared, there is a ghost in Taihang! The Taihang demon that followed... the golden leopard felt chills all over its body.
He shook off a big demon from his neck, turned around, and saw the demons in Taihang walking out of the mountains. Several huge figures walked out of the mountains, blocking the white deer's final path.
The demon clouds are rolling, and the demons are bloodthirsty.
Until... the golden flame burns.
The raging group of monsters stopped, and they looked blankly at the sky in Taihang. The sky was lit up, and the golden light extended from the distant horizon, like candles lit and placed on the clouds!
The demonic clouds dispersed, and the golden light filled the sky!
…………
Deep in Taihang, there is an island in the middle of the lake.
Li Xi'an placed his hand on the trunk of the old camphor tree, and lava-like lines rolled through the cracks in the cracked bark, running from bottom to top until the canopy that covered the sky was ignited!
"Don't you want to see what I'm going to do?" He looked at Myolie Chu beside him.
Myolie Chu stared blankly at the burning tree crown high in the sky.
Golden flames swept across.
She remembered that before Chijiao left, he made a promise and swore to let the name of the ancient tree be recited and respected by the world!
Can he really do it?
The lava-like glow flows, and in the dark night, the branches and leaves of the towering ancient trees are really as bright as the morning stars as promised by the red dragon!
"Wait quietly for my return. At that time, your branches and leaves will be as bright as the morning stars, and the world will also recite your name."
From all directions, from nowhere, the solemn promise, the first promise made by the two of them for hundreds of years, was sung in a low voice. Myolie Chu looked around, but saw no one, but the low singing was like a tide, flooding over, flooding... the whole world!
There seemed to be countless people singing in the darkness, rejoicing in the rebirth of an ancient thing!
At night in Taihang, the rolling black mountains are actually burning.
Those are the rising stars.
It seems as if someone is placing Kongming lanterns one after another in this ancient mountain. At the edge of Taihang, the group of monsters at the feast were also stunned. They vaguely sensed something was wrong. From their perspective, in the endless ancient mountains, there were stars flowing against the current, rising from the earth, and converging on the high sky. In the sea of golden clouds.
The golden sea of clouds is expanding.
The light even illuminated the dark night above Taihang.
Countless people woke up from their dreams and looked in the direction of Taihang. It was so bright there, bright... like a sun!
There will be no sleep tonight.
When the golden sea of clouds expanded, the group of monsters from the ancient earth discovered that it was not a sea of clouds, but stretched branches! The branches are as clear as jade, with a golden glow floating on the surface, so when the branches extend over, it looks like a sea of clouds!
But what kind of tree can cover the entire Taihang with its branches?
It was a shuddering picture just to imagine.
Golden, talisman-like silk ribbons flew upwards, hung between the golden branches and leaves, and hung down, with looming words on them. If we only look at the image, it is similar to the prayer belt in the eyes of the world, but this "prayer belt" was eventually fixed on the treetop and turned into a stone jade tablet.
The dying golden leopard's body was burning, and a ray of light slowly appeared from the center of his eyebrows and flew out. It also returned to the tree and became one of the thousands of jade monuments.
The same goes for white deer.
Under the old camphor tree, fire covered Li Xi'an's body. He opened his arms and embraced the burning tree trunk. The figure sang in a low voice, and the flowing fire robes flew with it. His posture was like returning to ancient times. He was the shaman dancing with the gods.
The Five Elements device surrounds the old camphor tree, and the original power of the Five Elements maintains balance. On top of the Heavenly Cauldron, the Deer King raised his head and poured out his immense will power.
The branches stretch, stretch...
Until it is engraved on the sky and a golden jade tablet is hung upside down.
That is the name of every living being in Taihang.
Do what you say.
By the way, I know why I have been so depressed recently.
It turns out that I warned you not to catch a cold, but I caught a cold myself (showing my hands). I used a whole pack of tissue paper while typing today, and it made me feel numb.
