Chapter 327 89. Changbai Anecdote
"Remember the night when you shed all the blood of rebirth?" Tongmingzuo said.
"I and An Wanxian will escort you to the depths of Taihang Mountain, right here. The world doesn't know that the king of Taihang has lost everything, and will even lose his life soon. On the way here, I saw many people worshiping and praying here. Living creatures, their hearts are hoping that the king of Taihang will still wipe out everything as before. You are the undefeated god of war in this world. In their hearts, your status is probably as high as the world. "The pale ape is only half a human. The voice was terrifyingly low, like bursts of thunder. He also stood up from the lake shore and turned to look at Li Xi'an.
He frowned and glanced at the current Li Xi'an again and again, "Your blood is so withered that even if there is a living being standing in front of you, you will still be able to recognize that you are the invincible Chi." Jiao? ”
The old man stood quietly without saying a word, and Li Xi'an heard the anger in Tongmingzuo's tone.
Tongmingzuo will not regret, let alone lament, because in his eyes, putting such emotions on the red dragon is no different from blasphemy. Even if the king of Taihang is about to die, he will not die in regret and lamentation. He will be vigorous, such as Roaring thunder, proudly towering over the world. So the Transparent Seat is only angry, his anger towards himself. If he could arrive earlier, all tragedies would be suppressed.
"If it weren't for the obstruction and restriction of this golden ancient tree, I'm afraid there would have been creatures from the outside world that broke into Taihang. After all, the awe of you and the greed for you are not contradictory. The eight kings you gave the power to guard all directions, I can see it at a glance After clearing the power of these eight beings, their responsibility is to protect this mountain range, but it does not include you. Why bother?”
Li Xi'an shook his head, patted Tongmingzuo on the shoulder, and motioned for him to follow.
His current body was indeed the same as that of a dying old man, so he walked slowly towards the old camphor tree. Tongmingzuo said no more. He slowly followed Li Xi'an at a distance of half a body, never exceeding the limit from beginning to end.
The two walked on the island in the middle of the lake, with the grass brushing their ankles. It was very quiet. The wind in the forest echoed in their ears, and occasionally they could hear the calls of geese.
"Do you know the future I have set for myself?" Li Xi'an said suddenly.
The Tongming Seat was stunned for a moment, and then heard the old voice in front of him continue to speak, calmly and forcefully, and spoke slowly, with a tone like the elders in the family telling old interesting stories to their grandchildren.
"I will leave Taihang one day, maybe because of death, maybe because of achieving true unity and stepping into the sea of stars. No matter what I do, the result of my leaving will not change. This is why the Eight Kings were born. They defend Taihang and guard Taihang. Throne, it doesn’t matter to them who the creature is on the throne. After a long time, the ancient mountain will once again make a choice to crown the creature he likes.”
"If I go away alive, the gap between this choice may be longer. If I die, the gap will be quite short. It will probably take less than a few years before you will see the new King of Taihang." Li Xi'an rolled up the sleeves of his robe. It was early spring, and the wind in the mountains was a bit cold to him.
But the cold in the Taihang Mountains is probably the warmest place in the world today.
When he stayed in Taihang, he also knew that the vast sea had flooded the earth again, and the black rainstorm was boundless. The kings were locked in a bitter battle, and rivers of blood flowed. It was rare that he didn't care about this, but it seemed he couldn't care less. After all, he is now weaker than the big red snake before his rise.
"You know, no one wants to see this result." Tongmingzao lowered his face.
"There are still many living beings who care about you. Even if you lose everything you own in the end, you will not lose us."
"Does this... tell me not to do stupid things?" Li Xi'an smiled, "Well, I don't value power so seriously that I would seek death if I lose it. I just... …A little tired.”
"What the ghost said is actually quite right. Although he is arrogant, he is a genuine Zhou Tian Shi Category after all, and he judged my original state very accurately. The scales of the real dragon fell into pieces, the new blood was drained, and I lost it. After hundreds of years of accumulation, I am still in the process of transforming into a dragon, but this is no longer an opportunity, but a sword hanging above my head. I will burn out my life on this road, as you can see now. ”
The Transparent Seat stared into Li Xi'an's eyes. In the past, these eyes were as bright as the sun, burning with fearsome golden flames all the time, but now there was only... a strange relief in these eyes.
Relieved?
Tongmingzuo shook his head, why was he relieved?
Jiuzhou was in turmoil, and judging from what he knew about the red dragon, it was impossible for him to feel relieved. How can we be relieved if we haven't hacked to death the person who created the figurines with our own hands?
But until the end, he didn't ask again.
"Are you leaving Changbai Mountain at this point and coming here just to care about my condition?" Li Xi'an looked at the Transparent Seat, his eyes seeming to penetrate everything and reach his soul.
"No, of course not." Tongmingzuo replied. "For the ancestor in Changbai Mountain."
"Showing off to the stars?" Li Xi'an reacted.
Tongmingzuo took a deep breath. Before this trip, he had never thought that the red dragon's condition had deteriorated to this extent, so he came to seek help.
The old man in front of me...
But he still told the purpose of his trip without any concealment: "Deep in Changbai Mountain, at the bottom of Tianchi Lake stands a stone pillar that reaches the sky. Have you ever stepped into the bottom of Tianchi Lake and seen that thing like an eyeball? Then It's the top of the pillar. The first time Zhao Yao Lanxing arrived at Changbai Mountain, the doll was very fragile, not even as good as a demon emperor, but the second time was different. It was at this point that he brought a bone statue to fight for the stone pillar. , An Wanxian almost died, and my people also suffered numerous casualties.”
"Kezu, Zhao Zhaoxing has already climbed to Tianchi. I fought with him in Tianchi and dragged him into the bottom of Tianchi. That is where the stone pillar is."
"You're betting." Li Xi'an said.
"Yeah, I'll bet again. My transformation comes from there. In the space at the bottom of Tianchi, the divine fire I can activate is endless. I burned my entire body and melted into the fire. At that moment, I I even heard the whispers of the Changbai Mountains, I succeeded, I succeeded in destroying the bone statue.”
"What happened next?"
"Zu recited a strange language that I had never heard before. When Zu's body became a clay doll again, the space at the bottom of Tianchi changed, and I could feel the surge of water. But how could the water in Tianchi change? What happened? The scorching Tianchi water was so cold at that moment that it even extinguished my flames!" Tongmingzuo said with a hint of fear on his fierce face.
"That's definitely not Tianchi! When the cold water drained out, the flames burned again, and everything returned to normal, the stone pillars standing at the bottom of Tianchi disappeared. Zu used some secret method to connect the bottom of Tianchi to a certain place and took it away Get that stone pillar!”
"I rushed to the East China Sea of Yanguo as soon as possible. The Nether Messenger told me that you had arrived there."
"Are you afraid that trying to attract stars will be detrimental to me?"
"Yes." Tongmingzuo sighed, "That stone pillar is called the 'Dragon Locking Pillar' in the mouth of swaggering stars, and it has sealed the real dragon in the ancient times!"
"I believe that my ancestor, the creature that I want to kill the most in the vast sea... is you."
"But you didn't say a word that night." Li Xi'an frowned, "Maybe you could have told me about this right then, when I would still have some energy left."
"No." Tongmingzuo shook his head.
"I can only tell you at this moment that there is no omission in the past. They can see it clearly." He raised his head and looked at the sky. The branches and leaves of the golden tree are bright, and there are twinkling stars floating above the clouds, like eyes.
"I got rid of those things so I have the opportunity to tell you this. I need to return to Changbai Mountain as soon as possible. They are aware of my departure and will not give up."
"Them?"
"The shadow that shrouds Kyushu...those dirty things!" Tongmingzuo spat fiercely.
