5-Black Dragon's Sorrow (1/2)
Level 7.
This time Si Qingyan is from Li Yixuan's perspective.
He is holding the young palace master Daoyi and walking in the wilderness with Pangpang.
At this time, Li Yixuan has opened his eyes and tried to restrain himself from thinking about what the palace master said.
Not long after, Daoyi woke up. He didn't remember what happened, but he remembered that the Dao Palace was about to have a big competition, and he wanted to participate, and his father didn't allow him to bring Pangpang to the stage.
"Brother, why are we here?"
"Master asked us to come out to experience."
"Brother, your hair is all white."
"There are some problems with cultivation."
"Brother, I have elixirs, what's wrong with you?"
"It doesn't matter now. It's just that I can't go back to the Dao Palace during this period, you stay with me. Maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years."
"...Okay." Daoyi hesitated for a while, but still agreed.
The most difficult thing to control is your own thoughts.
No matter how high your cultivation is, there is no way to restrain your thoughts.
The practice method that Li Yixuan practiced can do it.
He practiced the way of the world, and he had to comprehend every emotion to the extreme, and then break through it, and forget about emotions.
Those who practiced this way and became obsessed with it did not know themselves, but Li Yixuan did it. As long as he reversed the skills he learned, his original cultivation would disappear, and his body would enter a special state, similar to the inner demon, neither alive nor dead, and not entering the six reincarnations. He could manipulate other people's seven emotions and six desires to kill the enemy.
The last message from the Palace Master was that in order to stop the spread of taboos, all those involved, including Daoyi, could be killed.
Li Yixuan felt that the Palace Master was right. In order to survive and for the world to continue to exist, it was very necessary to stop the spread of the black butterfly.
He could not think about things related to taboos, but Daoyi could not.
Daoyi was just a half-grown boy after all, and he would miss his relatives and friends. He always suspected that his senior brother had been swapped...
Because Li Yixuan's attitude had changed drastically recently, as if he had become a completely different person. Daoyi could not get any results by asking, and could only think secretly.
Fatty often said that we should listen to the elder brother and not think about messy things, especially the Dao Palace.
Daoyi listened to him on the surface, but he was still thinking. Why did he suddenly appear outside the Dao Palace? What happened in the Dao Palace? Why couldn't he contact his father? Why was he so sad?
As he explored, the outline of the black butterfly in his heart gradually became clear.
Until one day, a black butterfly flew out in front of him.
Li Yixuan stared at Daoyi with cold eyes.
Fatty was so scared that he swallowed the black butterfly in one gulp and looked at Li Yixuan with horror.
"He can't stay." Li Yixuan said indifferently.
"What is that?" Daoyi asked in a trembling voice.
"You can't know." Fatty covered Daoyi's eyes.
Li Yixuan knocked Daoyi unconscious and was about to strip him of his memory, but found that Daoyi was born in the Dao Palace since he was a child, and all his memories were related to the Dao Palace. Moreover, Daoyi was only in the mortal realm, and a large-scale erasure of his memory would make him a fool or die directly.
In the end, Li Yixuan only closed Daoyi's five senses, leaving him in an absolutely closed state, and even his consciousness was completely asleep.
A black butterfly flew up from Daoyi's hand, and Pangpang bit it again.
Li Yixuan's eyes had become dangerous.
Pangpang still wanted to save Daoyi's life.
Even if Daoyi didn't think, his body was still transforming into a black butterfly. This state is irreversible. Daoyi's hand was already missing a little finger.
Li Yixuan wanted to know, if he killed Daoyi in this state, would new black butterflies appear on his body? What if he completely destroyed the body?
Pangpang smeared his blood on Daoyi, covering every part. Dragon blood breaks evil, and even though Pangpang thought about the black butterfly many times, no black butterflies appeared around it. The power of dragon blood can prevent Daoyi from turning into a black butterfly for the time being.
"Your blood can't seal him forever."
"I'll give him fresh blood."
"Ao Wu, you can't save him. Maybe the whole world will be destroyed by the black butterfly."
"I can't let him die before me. I'll live one day at a time." Pang Pang was very stubborn.
"This doesn't count as living."
"Then what should I do? Let me watch you kill Daoyi? How can I?" Pang Pang was about to cry.
"Other people will know that the palace has disappeared, they will be confused, curious, and will start to spread the news." Li Yixuan thought of a more serious problem.
"I can't eat so much, I will have diarrhea." Pang Pang was a little worried.
"Use other things to cover up the news of the Dao Palace."
Li Yixuan has a lot of permissions. The palace master transferred them to him.
It was the sacred mountain of the Dao Palace that fell into the endless abyss. There are still more than a dozen spaces, small secret realms, a large number of minerals, and countless warehouses under the name of the Dao Palace.
Releasing some unknown trial spaces can attract a certain amount of attention. Then expose the locations of some large tombs... In short, we must do everything we can to make everyone not pay attention to the disappearance of the Dao Palace.
"Can I help you?" Pang Pang promised the palace master to take care of Daoyi and Li Yixuan.
"Even if it becomes this state, there is no guarantee that I will not be corroded. When that time comes, don't worry about me." Li Yixuan said coldly.
"Ao Wu, maybe you are the only one who can survive in this world. If you can find everyone's remains, build a tomb for us."
Li Yixuan carried the bloody Daoyi on his left and Pang Pang, who was not in good spirits due to excessive blood loss, on his right.
"We will survive." Pang Pang said carefully.
Li Yixuan did not speak.
The only weakness of the black butterfly is that if no one knows about it, it will not spread. Just seal it in a place where there will be no problems.
There is a place in Cang Ya called the Forbidden Abyss. Everything that falls into it has never come out. In the past, there was a more terrifying existence than the black butterfly. It went deep into the Forbidden Abyss and could not come out. The sacred mountain of the Dao Palace fell into the Forbidden Abyss.
So far, there has been no news of the spread of black butterflies in large numbers. They should not have left the Forbidden Abyss.
If you have not seen the black butterfly with your own eyes, you will only think about the problems related to the Dao Palace in your mind and will not be related to the black butterfly.
Only by digging deep and thinking about the question of "Why did the Dao Palace disappear" day after day, you will feel the existence of the black butterfly.
Li Yixuan intends to cover up the problems of the Dao Palace with various major events.
Si Qingyan has been watching.
It can also be clearly seen here that the people of the Dao Palace have never thought about diverting the disaster, and they only want to keep it within the smallest range of their control.
They have supreme honor and status, and they also shoulder the responsibility of protecting the land of Cang Ya. The difficulty is that this matter is not suitable to be told to anyone, and can only be done by special insiders, Li Yixuan and Ao Wu.
The sacred mountain of the Dao Palace has always been hanging above Cang Ya, pressing on the heads of all living beings. One day, the sacred mountain disappears, and there is no news from the Dao Palace, which is also panic.
Li Yixuan first released the news that the Dao Palace temporarily closed the mountain in order to explore the avenue, and then caused various major disturbances on the land of Cang Ya.
Many times, the world consciousness is asleep, and the disappearance of the Dao Palace wakes it up for a while, and it learns about the existence of the black butterfly. Time cannot be reversed, it can only change from the present. It erases the impact of the disappearance of the Dao Palace, and also erases many creatures infected by the black butterfly.
Some meticulous people can always find abnormalities and re-visualize the existence of the black butterfly.
The black butterfly is like a tiny virus, hidden in a huge causal web.
Li Yixuan is used as an agent by the world consciousness to clean up the remaining black butterfly infected. Wherever the black butterfly appears, Li Yixuan will feel it. Ao Wu brought Daoyi and followed Li Yixuan, responsible for swallowing the flesh of the black butterfly infected and spitting it into the forbidden abyss.
Until one day, Li Yixuan stood at the door of his house and heard his parents say why his son had not come back yet. He always couldn't understand why he saw a black butterfly recently, which became clearer and clearer.
A black butterfly flew out of the Li family and landed in front of Li Yixuan as if provoking.
"Yixuan, I can seal your parents with blood. One day, we will find a way to save them." Pangpang didn't want to see Li Yixuan kill his relatives with his own hands.
"You don't have enough blood."
"Enough."
"You are still useful if you are alive."
The Pangpang in Li Yixuan's eyes was no longer fat.
Its green scales were mottled and dry, and some were black. Its eyes were sad. It ate a lot of panacea and grew a little. Because of the continuous consumption of dragon blood, its physical condition was extremely poor.
It was a container for the black butterfly.
Ordinary space magic weapons could not trap the black butterfly, and the treasure of the Taoist Palace, the Mountain and River Map, also fell into the forbidden abyss. Small world-type spaces are OK, but there are few of them, and they cannot be moved at will, which is not as convenient as Pang Pang.
"I will have another meal with them, you stay here first." Li Yixuan knocked on the door of the Li family.
Pang Pang swallowed a few black butterflies that flew out. Li Yixuan sent a lot of roasted monster meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside to give Pang Pang a snack.
They toasted each other and talked about their feelings.
Li's parents were knocked unconscious, and Li Yixuan asked Pang Pang to swallow them.
"Throw them into the forbidden abyss."
"...Okay."
"Yixuan, how long are we going to kill?"
"Until no one remembers it."
Li Yixuan, who had already turned gray, sat quietly at the door of his house, at a loss.
Pang Pang lay on one side, rolling up Daoyi.
"Yixuan, I want to go home."
"We have no home anymore."
Si Qingyan returned to the pure white space again.
He still had no score and ranked first.
Jing Liuli had passed the sixth level with a score of 53, ranking second.
"What happened later?" Si Qingyan asked.
Fatty should be the black dragon.
What happened to Li Yixuan and Daoyi? And those who survived the Dao Palace and were sent to the inheritance secret realm. The inheritance secret realm should be today's Taiyi Ancient Realm. What about those Dao Palace masters? Turned into black butterflies, or escaped a disaster?
"Using this technique many times will damage the soul. I thought you needed to rest. I didn't expect that your soul strength is far beyond the realm. Read the previous things."
Si Qingyan heard a familiar voice and soon entered the possession state again.
This possession state can only watch, and can't do anything.
When Si Qingyan entered again, he appeared in Fatty's body and looked at the surrounding things from Fatty's perspective.
Those who stare at the abyss are also stared at by the abyss.
When Li Yixuan finished speaking, a black butterfly flew out of his heart.
Fatty relied on blood, and Li Yixuan relied on the reversal technique to enter a special state to support. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"When I can't hold on any longer, eat me too and throw me into the forbidden abyss." Li Yixuan's transformation speed is very slow, and he should be able to hold on for a while. During this process, Pangpang will always swallow the black butterflies that fly out of Li Yixuan's body.
"Yixuan, I want to save you. Please accompany me."
"Don't leave me a dragon."
"Daoyi will accompany you." Li Yixuan has been very cold since his transformation. It was a coldness that isolated all emotions and thoughts, like a hard shell that protected him. At this moment, he touched Pangpang's dragon horns and the dragon scales that had been eroded very carefully and gently.
Will Pang Pang also become a black butterfly one day? If Pang Pang had not swallowed the black butterfly that flew out of Daoyi, could it have found a secluded place, kept to itself, and become a happy little dragon?
The burden of the world had nothing to do with Pang Pang. He was still a child and didn't understand anything.
"Yixuan..."
Pang Pang started crying, and the louder he cried.
"I hate it, I hate butterflies the most, I hate it!"
"I'm sorry. When I can't hold on any longer, do what you want to do, and don't worry about it anymore." Li Yixuan gently stroked Pang Pang's dragon horn.
"I don't want you to leave! I don't want you to leave! Yixuan, I'm so sad that I'm about to die..."
Pang Pang rolled on the ground.
A black butterfly flew out of Li Yixuan's body, and Pang Pang ate it in one bite.
"I think I shouldn't be a green dragon, I should be a frog."
After crying, Pang Pang calmed down knowing that there was no solution to this matter.
Even if Li Yixuan went to the forbidden abyss, he would continue to work and take care of Daoyi. Every once in a while, he would feed Daoyi.
During this last period of time, Pangpang cherished it very much.
Li Yixuan didn't need it to eat first and then vomit, and jumped into the forbidden abyss by himself.
"Take care."
He smiled, as if he was relieved.
"Wow——"
Pangpang cried alone at the edge of the forbidden abyss.
It didn't calm down until it couldn't cry anymore, and then it ate and replaced Daoyi with fresh blood.
Even if Li Yixuan was not there, it would take good care of itself and Daoyi.
Cangya is so big, is there no one who can eliminate the black butterfly?
The disappearance of Li Yixuan made the world consciousness lose its agent. Pangpang couldn't protect himself, so it was not suitable.
The world consciousness used the inheritance secret realm of the Taoist Palace as a container to automatically absorb the black butterfly infected. The moment before the black butterfly appeared, the infected person would be automatically taken away by the inheritance secret realm. When the secret realm is full, it will be put into the forbidden abyss, and then a similar space will be made. Although it is more troublesome, it is better than spreading.
In this way, the problem brought by the dark butterfly can be almost solved.
In fact, the number of infected people has been decreasing.
Time is too ruthless. After several generations, descendants rarely rack their brains to explore the disappearance of their ancestors.
The Dao Palace disappeared, and other sects replaced it.
In the eyes of the world consciousness, thousands of years and tens of thousands of years are just a nap.
The first to be thrown into the inheritance secret realm were Pang Pang and Daoyi.
The world consciousness felt that letting them wander outside would have the risk of spreading, and throwing them directly into the forbidden abyss would be too ruthless. Perhaps many people who are in desperate situations can find a way to save themselves in the inheritance secret realm.
Pang Pang didn't know much, and it appeared in the inheritance secret realm before it had time to find the next black butterfly infected person.
There were black butterflies flying all over here, and there were no living creatures.
The resources left by the Dao Palace were all there, and no one used them.
Later, many people came in one after another. Some would go crazy, and some wanted to save themselves, but they could not hold on for long and would become black butterflies.
They always flew over and landed on the skinny dragon body.
Until one day, Pang Pang wanted to bleed, but not a drop of blood came out.
It died, its soul trapped in its body, dazed and sluggish, its spirituality gradually disappeared.
Daoyi woke up.
Someone in the secret realm who had not yet completely turned into a black butterfly told him the story of this black dragon.
The story was incomplete, but it was a good dragon.
The guardian beast of the Taoist Palace had always protected the young palace master and was extremely loyal.
"It's my family."
Daoyi hugged the body of the black dragon and felt the faint response of the soul in it.
"It shouldn't be like this."
His body was also transforming into a black butterfly.
There are many kinds of Taoist bodies, and Daoyi's talent is sealing and purification.
His body and soul were incomplete, and his cultivation was not high. Even if he used forbidden spells to transform his body and soul into talismans, he could not save the black dragon. He could only seal its soul and prevent its spirituality from being lost.
There were more and more black butterflies in the secret realm, and they were all swallowed by the unconscious black dragon. Perhaps it was because the talisman that Daoyi transformed suppressed the soul of the black dragon, and its body adapted to the existence of the black butterfly and grew up because of it.
The newly awakened black dragon has no intelligence and is extremely brutal. It roars and smashes in the inheritance secret realm all day long, and is extremely violent.
Countless souls that died in this space turned into a special life form, similar to the spirit of the instrument in this space, and used ancient meteorite iron to make a dragon lock to entangle and suppress the black dragon.
About 100,000 years ago, there were no more black butterfly infected people.
The black butterflies in the space were swallowed up by the black dragon, and it slowly recovered some memories.
Only the memory before the incident in the Dao Palace.
The black dragon has become a big problem that is difficult to solve.
The spirit of the instrument can't bear to put it into the forbidden abyss, nor dare to let it into the land of Cangya.
Every once in a while, the spirit of the instrument in the space will open the entrance, collect a group of young talents, and look for the possibility of saving the black dragon.
During the refining process of the inheritance secret realm, the rules have been finalized. Only young people who meet the test or black butterfly infected people can enter.
"Maybe Black Butterfly should be forgotten by everyone, but Dao Palace shouldn't. What they did needs to be remembered."
"There is no need to test you anymore."
"I have waited for countless years, and finally I have waited for you."
In front of Si Qingyan, an illusory figure gradually appeared.
Nangong Yue's face became clearer.
It was him who spoke earlier.
"Too many people died here. I don't know why, but my consciousness was the master in the end."
"I see that you are a sword cultivator, like my junior brother Ling, so I use him as a guide and use the magic of tracing the past to let you see some truths of extinction."
"Fellow Daoist." Si Qingyan greeted.
Nangong Yue smiled and said:
"I have something to ask of you."
"?" Si Qingyan looked puzzled.
"Pangpang has reached his limit. Maybe at some point he will turn into countless black butterflies and fill this space. At that time, the Taiyi Ancient Realm will sink directly into the forbidden abyss."
"If there is a way to save it, I am willing to exchange it with the luck of the Dao Palace." Nangong Yue said solemnly.
"I can try." Si Qingyan didn't know if the black dragon could withstand the purification of the flame. If it became more fragrant instead of purified, it would be over.
Nangong Yue didn't see Si Qingyan's thoughts, and said with a little melancholy:
"Sometimes, memory is not a good thing, so it doesn't have it."
"It's better if it doesn't remember those things."
Si Qingyan only experienced it briefly and felt very depressed. For Pangpang, who really experienced those things, it was too painful.
The one who survived in the end was not Li Yixuan who could shoulder the heavy responsibility, nor Daoyi who had a pure heart, but Pangpang who was lazy, playful and afraid of death.
"If you can save it, I will send Pangpang away. It is silly and loyal. If you like it and can treat it well, you can take it with you. If you think it is troublesome, put it in the sea."
Nangong Yue's eyes were gentle when she mentioned Pangpang.
"Okay." Si Qingyan agreed very solemnly.
