Chapter 675 Tianhe? Milky Way? (First Update)
"Marshal Tianpeng!"
Meng Qi's eyelids twitched slightly, and the image of the fat pig-mouthed man appeared in his mind. Second Brother, Zhu Bajie?
He was not in Lingshan, but returned to Heaven? Or was the position of Marshal Tianpeng granted to someone else by the Emperor of Heaven?
Judging from the development of his own world, the fall of Heaven was before the demons disturbed the earth and before the demon saint turned into a spear. Combined with the various legends of Journey to the West, it can be preliminarily assumed that the great saints followed the demon saint to attack Lingshan after the fall of Heaven, and the fall of Heaven was after Sun Wukong became the Fighting Buddha.
In other words, if the Marshal Tianpeng here is the old pig, then he did not serve as a purifier at all. After completing the task, he returned to Heaven and took over the Tianhe sailors again.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Meng Qi thought to himself that with Lao Zhu's personality and hobbies, regardless of the status of the altar purifier and Marshal Tianpeng, it was obvious that he hated the rules and regulations more. It was reasonable for him to leave Lingshan after the journey to the west. Of course, the premise was that the Buddhist sect would not stop him, and this required him to hold the thigh of the Emperor of Heaven tightly.
Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu and others only knew from the background introduction of Liudao that Marshal Tianpeng was a member of the team in the past journey to the west. The impression was very vague, and the feeling was not as deep as Meng Qi. They immediately looked around to see if there was anything they missed.
"Will the heavenly soldiers and generals in the barracks 'wake up and return'?" Jiang Zhiwei looked at the statue-like heavenly soldiers, and a bit of caution was revealed between her eyebrows.
With the awakening of the heavenly soldiers guarding the bridge before, even the most resolute people would be on guard against this.
Zhao Heng looked back and said after a moment of hesitation: "There is a demon king chasing us from behind, and the heavenly soldiers are blocking the road ahead. Why don't we hide first and let them fight among themselves so that we can reap the benefits."
He was a little hesitant to bet whether the heavenly soldiers in the barracks ahead would wake up when he and others passed by, because if they did, there would be hundreds or thousands of them, including masters. After they swarmed up, the team might not even be able to make a wave!
"Good idea." Meng Qi praised and looked at the floating island, "Let's find a place to hide?"
The floating island is the barracks, with copper walls, iron walls, and formations. Once triggered, the possibility of awakening the heavenly soldiers and generals is very high, so there is no hiding place outside.
Looking left and right, apart from the white cloud bridge, there is the illusory river water that is shimmering with glimmering light, and the stars are faintly visible.
"Hide in the river?" Ruan Yushu seemed to ask or suggest.
With the ability of the exterior scene, even if you are not good at water, it is no problem to hold your breath for a long time.
Meng Qi squatted down and looked carefully at the illusory and insubstantial water of the Tianhe River: "Hiding in the river seems to be the only way, but we have to find something to try first. After all, we don't know what's strange about the water of the Tianhe River. What if it can decompose the flesh, contains water poison, or can't make goose feathers float?"
"Mature and cautious words." Zhao Heng praised. Generally speaking, when you are in the ruins, you must not take it for granted according to normal habits.
The five people looked around and found that there was no stone except for the white clouds. The items on their bodies that should be exchanged for good deeds have been exchanged for good deeds, and the rest are useful things.
Seeing this, Meng Qi did not dare to delay. He pulled out a hair and turned it into a clone, letting him jump into the Tianhe River.
As soon as he entered the water, "Meng Qi" felt that the water quality was illusory and cold to the bone. The vitality of heaven and earth did not decrease, but most of the normal needs were gone, and there were many more harmful things. It can only be used to practice specific skills.
The buoyancy provided by the Tianhe water was not as good as the air flow, and Meng Qi was in the heaven and could not fly, so he sank straight down.
Through the communication between each other, Meng Qi's original body initially confirmed that there was nothing strange about the Tianhe water. As long as he did not stay there for too long, the cold would not damage his body and soul, so he stretched out his right hand and tried to grab the clone up.
At this moment, the clone "Meng Qi"'s body became heavier and the speed of falling accelerated, as if it was pulled by a huge force, exceeding the suction of the original body.
Meng Qi looked intently and saw a bright star in the direction of the fall, which seemed to be separated from himself by a long distance, so that it looked only the size of a bowl. As the clone got closer and closer, Meng Qi found that it was a huge sphere burning with orange-red flames, the surrounding light was distorted, the void was abnormal, and the high temperature and scorching heat gushed out like a storm.
The real sun! Meng Qi was startled and quickly cut off the connection.
Silently, the clone experienced burning, melting and gasification, and there was no trace of it anymore!
Every spontaneously shining star in the Milky Way is a "star"? This is really the "Milky Way"! Meng Qi's spirit spread, and he felt that the Milky Way was vast and boundless, and he could not see where it came from or where it was going.
The stars that emitted light in it were as numerous as sand, and there was a feeling that it was real but penetrated every corner of the surrounding void.
Suddenly, Meng Qi was in awe of Lao Zhu. He was not an ordinary immortal god to lead the sailors to patrol such a Milky Way!
Jiang Zhiwei also noticed the situation of Meng Qi's clone, and frowned slightly: "You can't hide in the Milky Way."
If you can still fly, as long as you avoid the shining stars, it won't be a big problem to hide for a short time, but now, going down the river is equivalent to suicide.
"It's better to be careful when passing through the barracks. If there is any unusual movement, choose to return." Qi Zhengyan suggested.
This is a solution among all the solutions. Meng Qi took a breath, adjusted his state, landed silently, walked forward in small steps, boarded the floating island, and stepped into the barracks.
The entire barracks was silent, but from the posture and state of the silver-armored heavenly soldiers, Meng Qi seemed to be able to hear voices, drinking water, chewing, acupoint vibrations, and the neighing of celestial horses from hundreds of thousands of years ago. However, all this noise was frozen in the void with the wind.
Everything seemed exactly the same as it was back then. They seemed to wake up in the next second, doing their own things, recreating the ancient heavenly court.
One step at a time, Meng Qi was on guard, choosing the road, passing through the place where the silver-armored heavenly soldiers were sparse, not daring to be distracted, for fear that he would see a bunch of silver-armored heavenly soldiers rushing over in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Zhiwei was the last one to leave, holding her breath, her expression solemn, her eyes without fear, only focus.
In this way, the five people stopped breathing, breathing through the pores of their bodies, as if mortals were walking through a jungle full of pythons.
In this state, both mental and physical energy consumption was extremely great, no less than fighting a battle with enemies of the same level. Fortunately, the heavenly soldiers in the barracks had not woken up, allowing Meng Qi and others to successfully pass through the most densely populated area and see several gorgeously decorated barracks in front.
There were several golden-armored generals sitting inside, with long swords placed on the table. There were various items arranged around them. They were full of energy and blood. Just seeing them made Meng Qi feel like blood was rushing through his body, as if every drop of their blood could be turned into a hidden weapon that could penetrate his body. It seemed that if all the blood was extracted, it could evolve into a long river, containing great power.
"Dharma body..." Meng Qi looked at it greedily, but did not dare to get close. He just bypassed it. Zhao Heng did not even dare to look at it more, for fear that his eyes would have a stimulating effect.
They did not want to wake up the Dharma body because of their greed for the things inside.
In particular, the lessons learned from the past showed that the awakened heavenly soldiers did not have any weakening in strength!
After passing these barracks, the central army camp appeared, with a wooden sign hanging at the door, reading "Marshal Tianpeng"!
Damn, will I see the solidified old pig? Seeing this wooden sign, Meng Qi could not help but fluctuate his emotions in the solemn and depressing atmosphere.
Jiang Zhiwei's pretty face became more solemn. The Heavenly Generals were at least Dharmakayas, so what about the Marshal Tianpeng who led them or was higher?
"It's empty inside." Ruan Yushu suddenly transmitted a voice. When Meng Qi was shocked, she had already taken a sneak peek.
"Empty?" Meng Qi looked far away and saw that the central army camp was open, empty inside. Not to mention the old pig, there was not even a single item inside, including the table, which was clean without a speck of dust, as if it had been emptied.
"Empty by someone..." Meng Qi suddenly had an idea and seemed to see the scene at that time:
A fat and strong pig-mouthed man swept the central army camp, muttering: "It's over, there's no hope for the Heavenly Court, quickly divide the property, go home, and disband."
If this is true, the old pig is much more perceptive than the average heavenly soldiers and generals...
With emotion, Meng Qi and others passed through the central army camp and saw a pond. The water quality was illusory, no different from the outside, and the water flowed, as if it was secretly connected to the Milky Way.
"Could it be the place where the heavenly soldiers enter the 'Milky Way'? What's the difference from going directly into the water outside?" Meng Qi asked in confusion.
Qi Zhengyan said expressionlessly: "The heavenly soldiers' camp will not have a pond for no reason. You will know if you try it."
Meng Qi nodded, pulled out another hair, turned into a clone, and dived into the pond.
The water quality is illusory, but not as cold as outside. The normal things in the sea of vitality have become fewer but still exist, and harmful things are slowly increasing.
The deeper he fell, "Meng Qi" only felt the buoyancy gradually strengthened, and a layer of water film wrapped around his body!
Drilling out and entering the Milky Way, Meng Qi found that he could swim in it, as long as he returned before the water film disappeared.
"I can hide." Meng Qi showed some joy, "Or should we hide?"
"It seems that the heavenly soldiers here will not wake up?" Ruan Yushu asked puzzledly.
Meng Qi chuckled, "The monsters don't know that the Heavenly Soldiers have awakened, so they won't be as careful as we are. Even if they pass through successfully, we can follow behind, hunt down the lone ones, and gain merit. Anyway, we have to slowly search for the core things, so why not turn light into darkness and let them explore the way?"
The main reason is that the current distance is not as far as expected because the Heavenly Soldiers have awakened, and the monsters are chasing them one after another. They don't have enough time to search, so they have to change another method.
"Well, I don't know what dangers are hidden in the Heavenly Court, so it's good to let them explore the way." Jiang Zhi nodded slightly.
"And if we can hunt down a few more monster kings, even if we can't complete the task, the merit will be returned." Since being monitored by the Political Affairs Hall and resources have been strictly controlled, Zhao Heng is no longer as extravagant as before.
After all the calculations were made, Meng Qi and the other five dived into the pond, covered with a water film, and entered the Milky Way.
The deep and boundless scene in front of them, with bright stars mostly in the distance, seemed to have entered the universe, grand and vast, making people feel their own insignificance and sigh at the diversity of the world!
"It's so beautiful..." Ruan Yushu sighed, as if he was inspired by the heart of literature and art, and wanted to compose music to it.
Meng Qi looked around, and felt more and more like he had entered the universe, but it seemed different from the normal one.
He couldn't tell where the difference was.
At this time, the clone was almost sucked away by the nearby "big sun", and Meng Qi had to take it back and carefully avoid it.
During this process, Meng Qi found a large "black spot" on this "star".
After thinking about it, Meng Qi used his wisdom eyes and looked at it. A blazing fireball appeared in his pupils, and on the surface lay an unimaginably large pig corpse. The skin was charred in the high temperature and flames, and the fat evaporated, and it was extremely shriveled!
Even compared with the entire fireball, this pig corpse was not small, his eyes were wide open, and he was frozen in disbelief.
"Old pig?" Meng Qi was shocked, and then he felt a burning attack, his eyes seemed to be on fire, red, and tears could not stop flowing out.
Even if you use the wisdom eye to see the sun from a “close” distance, you will suffer backlash!
