Chapter 1807: Today’s View of the Past
Deep woods, solemn monuments, sneaky Yuan Mengji, mysterious tone...
Chai Asi was startled and became alert.
I always felt that the shadow in the forest was not right, as if it was the shadow of a dragon.
The demons and dragons are incompatible!
Although everyone said so, if you find the traces of the dragons, you should pounce on them. But my strength is not enough, I have to keep a useful body for the demons, so it is better to stay away from them.
No matter how much you hate the dragons, you must admit that the dragons are powerful.
The demons are indeed a tribe favored by heaven, and each of them has its own strengths, but the strengths and weaknesses can always be seen...No matter how they are ranked, the dragons are among the top.
Chai Asi himself is not confident to face it if he can't contact the Supreme. Looking at Yuan Mengji's cowardly look, it is obviously not possible.
"Master Yuan, why don't we go faster?" Chai Asi suggested in a low voice.
Yuan Mengji nodded, his voice was also very low: "It's not that we are afraid of anything, it's mainly because we are in a hurry."
The two demons tiptoed and quietly walked past the square monument.
That time has also passed.
The last demon king in ancient times has died in the process of opening up the demon world. His relatives also died. After that, everything was gone, and only 108 demon life beads and this stable new world remained in the world.
The ancient demon king died, and he sacrificed his blood relatives, which also paved the way for the next demon king he designated.
The new demon king succeeded to the throne, rose from the distress, saved the world, and led the demon race to support that shaky time...That was the ancient times recorded by the human race.
From that time to now, the lord in the ancient imperial city has been passed down for four generations.
What Yu Zhen fought for back then was the position of the third generation demon king after the opening up of the demon world. He lost to the Emperor Yuan Xi, whose statue still stands in the ancient imperial city, who presided over the "Centipede Blood Battle" and was known as the strongest demon king in the New Territories.
That war, the most boastful in the history of the demon race in the New Territories, almost drove the human race back to the present world. It once changed the situation of the entire racial war, making the demon race turn from defense to offense...
To compete with the Demon King Yuan Xi, one must have a big picture and great courage.
"Dragons are originally demons" is the truth of history and also the political program of Yu Zhen in those days.
Imitating the history of the world's war and the hundreds of races attacking demons in those days. It can be said that lessons have been learned from the destruction of the glorious era, and all forces that can be united should be united to counterattack the human race.
But ideals are always plump and moving, but the present world is always sick and skeletal.
Although it is said that the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
But when it comes to the matter of "the return of the dragon race", it is far from that easy.
For the demon race, both the human race and the dragon race are mortal enemies. Which side is more hateful is a matter of debate!
That is to say, now that the human race dominates the world and dominates the world, the demon race and the sea race, as the weak party that is suppressed, have the basis for cooperation.
If the dragon race wants to return, the first thing to be solved is the problem of mutual trust between the demon race and the dragon race.
For the demon race, how can they hand over their confidants to the dragon race again after being betrayed by the dragon race?
For the dragon race, they also know how deep the knife in the ancient times was. How can they believe that the demon race is really sincere in cooperation, instead of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf and plotting to settle the score later?
Yu Zhen sneaked into the world and went to the sea in person. With the life and death of a peerless demon race strongman, he pushed the matter forward a huge step... It must be said that this is an act of extraordinary courage.
A man is indifferent to life and death, and he will do it in a moment of anger. It is not a great courage to show off his bloodiness for a while.
When you become a son of a rich man, you must "sit in the hall".
At the level of Yu Zhen back then, he didn't need to do anything, he was already at the top of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and he could still devote everything to his political ideals... No wonder he has been away from the Chaos Sea for so many years and has never been seen again, but he has always been praised as a legend.
The dragon clan's return to the demon clan led by Yu Zhen failed in the end, and the details were not passed on to the world. The so-called historical truth can only be explored in the depths of time.
Yuan Mengji only knows that there are indeed vague records in history that the dragon clan was indeed moved by Yu Zhen's words. There are even several real dragons who followed Yu Zhen back to the demon world...
In other words, it is really possible that the dragon clan exists in the Shenxiao land today.
But in the current environment, there is no possibility of the dragon clan returning. If there are really dragon clans in this place, if he really meets them, I am afraid there will be no chance to say hello.
So he also followed his heart and walked down the steps of Chai Asi, with an especially brisk pace.
Neither a demon nor a dragon, Jiang Wang, who viewed this period of history from the perspective of the human race, had a different sense of grandeur in his heart.
Whether it was Yu Zhen who risked his life to go deep into the sea and lead the return of the dragon race.
Or the water tribe led by the dragon race retreated into the sea and the dragon turned into a beast, and since then, the dragon of the East China Sea has never seen a demon.
All of them made him feel the grandeur of history.
Magnificent stories rise and fall in the long river of time. No matter which one you pick up, there are generous articles of that era.
For thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and tens of millions of years, the human race has been fighting with such respectable opponents.
It was in front of such a powerful enemy that the sages of the human race firmly controlled the present world, protected the peace of the human race, and consolidated the status of the human race as the master of the present world.
How can people today not admire the past?
At this moment, Jiang Wang needs to think more about his own situation.
From the path of Zhu Dali and She Guyu to the path of Chai Asi and Yuan Mengji.
From the Fountain of Youth to the Mirage Dragon.
This so-called Shenxiao Land is far more complicated than imagined. It is not just a place to preserve the inheritance of skills. It must have a more vast design... This can roughly explain why it attracts the attention of so many heavenly demons and makes moves.
The dust of tens of thousands of years seems to have never buried this place.
This place has never become dull because of the long time. Instead, it gives Jiang Wang a feeling close to the original Shanhai Realm.
It is new over time and grows freely.
Dead water must not be like this. There must be a living source in it.
The "living source" of Shanhai Realm is the legend left by Huang Weizhen, the memory of the people of Chu, and the natural evolution of all creatures in Shanhai Realm... It is that Huang Weizhen will eventually return to the top.
What is the "living source" of Shenxiao Land?
Is it possible that it is the original body of the Yu Clan legend?
He was able to compete with the Demon King for the throne, which was far beyond the ordinary heavenly demon. Maybe he is the top of the heavenly demon, or maybe he is already at the top. Is he really willing to disappear like this?
Is he somewhere, watching here?
Jiang Wang repeatedly told himself that he must think more. Even if it was just a chess piece played by God, even if there were huge hands covering the sky outside the chessboard, even if the outcome had already been determined by the chess player...
He had to look up.
He already understood that the six paths were one, and knew that several teams were actually walking in the same place.
He had already determined that there must be a "source of life" in the Land of Divine Sky.
So, what is the connection between these six paths? What is the source of life in the Land of Divine Sky?
Only by finding the answers to these two questions can we find a chance to get out of the current deadlock!
This is difficult. But compared to the moment when there was no clue and no hope, having a chance is always better than having no chance.
At this time, the sky was dim and the forest was deep and dark.
The sun, moon and stars were not seen in the Land of Divine Sky.
Jiang Wang silently drew a mark with his long sword and wrote it down. This was the fifth hour after the six teams set foot on the forest path.
…
…
The deeper you go, the leaves turn blood-red, and white catkins float in the sky… They look like broken feathers.
There are indeed broken feathers among them.
That is the sign of Yu Xin's evil spirit.
Yu Xin's broken body is scattered in the forest so meaninglessly.
Xiong Sansi holds the bloody knife in his right hand, looks at his open left palm, and mutters to himself: "Ten years… How many decades are there in this life?"
Now he walks alone in the forest, and for some reason, Yu Xin's voice always echoes in his ears——
"If I don't spread the news, how can I compete with you on my own?"
"I really treat you as a brother and share everything with you. But what do you treat me as? What did you do behind my back? Do you think I don't know? Do you really think I'm stupid!?"
"You also arranged the attack back then? It was just to stand up and save me and gain my trust, right?"
"It caused so much trouble. "What do you want to do when you bring so many demon seeds here?"
"Xiong Sansi! From the beginning to the end, you just used me as a pawn!"
"You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
"Didn't you expect that I really have the blood of the great ancestor Yu Zhen, and my family has already prepared for me. As soon as I entered the land of Shenxiao, I got the feeling! Today, you will try my Hunhuan Jade Body!"
"Brother Xiong, Brother Xiong! Let me go! Spare me once!"
"Brother Xiong, come, let's drink. This is what I stole from the old man."
"Yu Xin has grown up without any true friends. I am really happy to meet my brother!"
Ten years.
Ten years is too long.
But the long time will eventually come to an end, just like the road under his feet.
Xiong Sansi silently took out another black mask, covered his face again, and calmed all the waves in his heart, and then continued to move forward.
Gugugugu...
The path in the forest came to an end, and the front was not bright. Looking up, there are rugged paths, steep cliffs... The road is far into the clouds, and the mountain is so high that you can't see the top.
The dense forest they were in just now seemed to be just coiled on the mountainside.
And they have been on this mountain all along.
What is outside the mountain? You can't see it for a while.
But right in front of you, you can see a living spring.
The upward mountain road bends and circles here, as if it is holding this clear spring in its arms, giving you a strong sense of protection. The spring is bubbling, and the sound is a little strange that can't be described.
The spring water is clear, and there are mayfly larvae in the water.
I don't know why, this water obviously has a living source and living things, but there is still a sense of dead silence.
The clear water reflects a beautiful spider Lanruo, who is sitting by the spring with her jade hands pressing the strings.
The spider stands behind her, silently guarding.
The land of Shenxiao is indeed more vast than imagined. It doesn't look like a place like a treasure house, but rather like a very vast world.
Xiong Sansi was slightly moved, but he just held his knife silently.
The wind did not move, the string did not move, the body did not move... but the murderous intent was already rising and falling.
"I said that the test in this Shenxiao land is not that difficult! Along the way, except for the seduction of beauty, there was no trouble! The Great Ancestor of Shenxiao used this to test me? Am I a mediocre monster who can be captured by beauty?"
"That can't be! Your character is so noble and your will is so firm!"
"Ah Si, you are good at everything, but you are too honest! With your personality, it is easy to be excluded!"
"Then I am not serving Master Yuan, the so-called wise king meets good ministers, and only you are so humble that you can tolerate my honest words!"
The sound of talking and laughing gradually approached.
Chai Asi and Yuan Mengji, one shamelessly flattering, the other accepting everything, just said and laughed, as if they were on a picnic, and walked out of the forest.
Then they saw the mountain road ahead, the spring, and the confrontation between Xiong Sansi, Zhu Lanruo, and Zhu Zheng, and felt the murderous intent spreading in the air.
"Excuse me! Sorry!"
Chai Asi bowed: "We will go back first, you continue!"
Pulling Yuan Mengji back.
"What are you doing? What are you doing! Pull out your sword!" Yuan Mengji yelled, "Didn't you see that he was bullying my sister Lanruo? How could I bear this?"
Chai Asi grabbed Yuan Mengji's arm and pushed him away: "My lord, don't be impulsive before the great cause is accomplished."
"Don't stop me!"
Chai Asi leaned over and whispered, "Xiong Sansi is the eighth new king of the Heavenly Ranking."
Yuan Mengji turned around angrily, "Is there still an evil ghost that hasn't been killed on the road just now? We can't let it harm the people. Let's go back and take a look."
Xiong Sansi held the knife still.
Zhu Lanruo stopped the string and said nothing.
Zhu Zheng looked at the couple with contempt.
Watching the couple quietly.
They turned back, but they couldn't see the way they came. There was only a deep forest, dim and hidden, and no one knew what was hidden.
Thinking of the possible existence of the dragon clan, Chai Asi and Yuan Mengji found it difficult to take a step.
"Do you think there is a possibility..." Chai Asi turned around and smiled, "We will just stand by and not disturb you?"
"Not disturb who?"
At this time, a road appeared in the forest. The Taiping Ghost Messenger with two straight swords on his back and She Guyu holding the Eight-cut Sword walked slowly one after the other.
It also relieved Yuan Mengji's embarrassment.
Look at the two walking together, one with a calm breath and the other with injuries. Obviously, the strength is already divided.
In other words, this Taiping Ghost Messenger is indeed a stronger demon king than She Guyu, and is a new king who is worthy of being listed on the Heavenly Ranking.
It was the Taiping Ghost Messenger who spoke, with a deep tone and unpredictable eyes.
Chai Asi smiled and said, "I hope I don't disturb Brother Ghost Messenger's elegance!"
To the monsters participating in the competition, his attitude towards the competition was still as cordial as before.
Because no one could beat the Supreme Lord before.
Now he can't beat anyone.
He doesn't think he is humble. Let go of the pattern a little, stand on the top of the peak in the future, this is called respecting the wise and humble!
Zhu Dali looked at Chai Asi deeply, without saying anything, continued to walk forward mysteriously, and stood in front of the spring.
She Guyu said nothing, just silently adjusted his breath.
Jiang Wang in the mirror world still ignored Chai Asi's response, so it would be better to let this kid be more obedient. He just silently observed the surroundings and guessed that the strange spring in front of him should be the Fountain of Youth. Guess who will arrive here next...
According to Liudao Benyi's guess, if these roads are connected, there must be a connection. The arrival time of several teams should not be too far apart.
"Donor, please go first!"
"Master Buddha, please go first!"
"Let Mr. Lu go in front."
"Master Rat is polite, the elders should go first."
"Actually, I am about the same age as you..."
A new road appeared in the forest, and two voices sounded on the road again.
Shu Jialan and Lu Qilang, one with torn Buddhist robes and the other with messy hair, kept a large distance from each other and stopped at the end of the road.
The intersection was narrow, so only one person could pass.
And neither of them was willing to leave their backs.
It can be imagined that they encountered many dangers along the way, and they also fought each other.
At this time, you pushed me and I pushed you, and you were humble.
"The Shenxiang Flower Sea is famous, how can Master Lu follow behind?"
"The Black Lotus Temple is a famous ancient temple, why doesn't Master Shu go first?"
"You go first!"
"No, no, no, you go first!"
Zhu Dali was really impatient and said angrily: "Or you can go back the same way?"
