There were bursts of fine and overlapping chewing sounds. In the eyes of the Yin and Yang family, the huge iron door seemed to be dizzy with water. Holes appeared in the middle and then spread outward little by little.
The [Jue Tian Lock] that once firmly blocked Donghuang Taiyi from outside was unable to resist the bite of the [Gold-eating Insect], and could only watch as it was violently cracked by this method with no technical content. .
The principles of heaven, earth, yin and yang and the five elements contained in it all turned into nothingness.
After a while, the sound of chewing gradually became less frequent, and a gap large enough for one person to walk appeared in the lower half of the big iron door.
Chi Yao raised his hand and motioned to Donghuang Taiyi and the others to go in first.
"Why not make the entrance wider?"
Concubine Yan asked as she walked.
"It's too big to cover up."
Chi Yao was the last one to enter the door, and then directed the gold-eating insects that had eaten the iron door to lie down in the gap, and actually filled it up again. Because the color is close and there is insufficient light underground near the entrance to the forbidden area, at a glance, there are not many flaws.
"This is the forbidden area of the Mo family. There may be many dangers inside. If they find out and activate some mechanism in the middle, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
The few people walked while talking, and soon passed through a narrow and dark tunnel and saw a door.
but……
Looking at the large pit about a hundred meters long in front of the door, several people fell into silence.
A simple earthen pit is nothing, but in the dim light, countless stars and bits of cold light are still shining in the pit.
Chi Yao, who had the strongest eyesight, could see it clearly. They were clearly spikes as thick as forearms!
If it falls down accidentally, I'm afraid it will be turned into a hedgehog.
"Hmph, what kind of trick is the Mo family playing?"
Naturally, this thing wouldn't be a problem for the experts. Although they couldn't lift a hundred meters in one breath with light kung fu, they could easily step on the stone walls on both sides.
The reason for their doubts was that they were puzzled as to why the Mohists arranged such things in the forbidden area.
According to legend, only the master can enter this place. Does the Mohist giant have to be in such trouble every time he comes in?
Therefore, Chi Yao, the only one who understood the truth, said: "Perhaps this is not just a retreat for the Mohist giants, but also a training ground."
"Trial?"
"Yes, maybe reaching the end will mean you are qualified to become a giant of the Mo family?"
He told the truth in a joking tone.
"interesting."
Donghuang Taiyi said calmly, "Then let's give it a try."
The mechanism we got just now is called Tiger Leaping, and after Tiger Leaping there is Sarutobi. The two mechanisms are actually very similar, and a few people can easily get through them by relying on light skills.
Then they came to the Dragon Maw Chamber.
As soon as they arrived here, the auras of the three Yin Yang family members began to fluctuate violently at the same time.
Because on the stone platform in the center of the secret room, a gorgeous exquisite tower is rotating leisurely.
"Blissful heavenly rhyme, thousands of magical sounds..."
Donghuang Taiyi murmured, "You can't be wrong, this is the Phantom Sound Treasure Box!"
He took two steps forward and reached out to grab the box under the Linglong Tower.
But at this moment, there was a mechanical sound all around, and suddenly dozens of stone pillars filled with sharp blades began to rotate and shrink inward.
Looking at that posture, it won't be long before the four of them are squeezed into the middle and crushed to pieces.
The situation suddenly became tense.
However, none of the four people present turned their attention to those cold sword pillars.
Because at this time, the stone platform carrying the Phantom Sound Treasure Box began to descend automatically, as if it wanted to take the things away.
Is this okay?
The treasure that the Yin Yang family has been looking for for so many years has been exposed to Donghuang Taiyi. How can they let it slip away?
Snapped!
He reached out and grabbed the treasure box, then flicked his sleeves hard.
boom--
Golden Qi Jin surged out from the sleeves of Donghuang Taiyi. The invisible Qi Qi turned into the most violent sledgehammer at this time, directly smashing the surrounding knife pillars that were slowly approaching.
Both the stone pillar itself and the sharp knives inserted on it were all turned into powder by Donghuang Taiyi's [Soul Xi Longyou].
"Hmph, flashy!"
Donghuang held the Phantom Sound Treasure Box in each hand, with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he was deeply attracted by the peerless magic sound.
Looking at his look like a towering king, Chi Yao smiled secretly in his heart and asked: "Now that you have the things, do you still want to move forward?"
"No need. Apart from the Phantom Sound Treasure Box, these are all children's tricks and have no value for exploration."
Donghuang Taiyi's tone was quite disdainful.
This comes from the metaphysicians’ disdain for materialism.
Compared with the Gao Miao Heavenly Way they pursue, the Mohist disciples who deal with wood, stone, copper and iron all day do seem to be a little less qualified.
Afterwards, several people chose to return the same way.
After getting the Phantom Sound Treasure Box, Donghuang Taiyi's whole mind seemed to be attracted by it. He even forgot about the original announcement of destroying the Mo family and left the government city in a hurry.
At this time, he was like a scumbag who abandoned old toys because he found new toys.
Concubine Yan and Yueshen had never seen Donghuang Taiyi in this state, so they didn't dare to remind him at this time. As for Chi Yao, he had no deep hatred against the Mo family. After finding Pixiu, it made no difference to him whether the Mo family existed or not.
So, without disturbing many people, they just entered and exited the city at will.
As for what to do with the awakened Master Ban and the big hole in the forbidden door after the few people left, that was not a problem they needed to consider.
…
…
Donghuang Taiyi almost ran all the way back to Yin Yang's house to study the Phantom Sound Treasure Box.
Chi Yao was not as eager as them, but after leaving the machine city, he took out the ball from his arms and began to try to wake up little Pixiu.
He first tried to inject Qi Qi into it, but he didn't get any feedback. He couldn't tell whether it was a dead thing or a living thing by looking at it with the Heavenly Gu Qi-gazing Technique.
"In the original work, Pixiu took the initiative to revive after seeing Xiao Li, the incarnation of the tears of the goddess..."
Chi Yao took out the Tears of the Goddess from the vortex.
This was his second biggest gain during his last trip to Loulan, besides Chi You Sword.
He waved the necklace-shaped Tears of the Goddess near Pixiu again and again, but to his dismay, little Pixiu still maintained its spherical dormant form and did not respond.
"Does it have to be transformed in order to be sensed by little Pixiu?"
Chi Yao looked at the two things in his hands with some distress.
Who knows what conditions are required for Xuannv’s Tears to take form? Could it be that I could only wait aimlessly?
"Pixiu woke up and appeared after seeing the incarnation of the Tears of the Goddess. He should be sensitive to Xuannv's breath. So besides the breath of Xuannv, is there anything else that it may be familiar with?"
Chi Yao began to recall the legend of Loulan.
"When were Pixiu and the Dragon Soul put into this world by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady? The Dragon Soul seems to be the power source of the Demon God of War. So, it should have been given to Chi You at the same time as the Tears of the Goddess. And Pixiu... Probably after Chi You was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, Jiutian Xuannv re-extracted the dragon soul from the Demon God of War, and then changed it into a storage container? By the way, they seem to be shouldering the mission of preserving the continuation of the Chi You clan's bloodline together with the Tears of the Goddess. .”
Thinking of this, Chi Yao couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Xiao Li in the original work should be the last bit of blood of the Chiyou clan, who was transformed under the influence of the power of the tears of the goddess. As soon as he saw her face, little Pixiu immediately came to life. But if it were him who also had Chi You's bloodline, and even got closer to Chi You's true body because he had absorbed a large amount of Yuansha energy transformed from Chi You's remnant body, it would be like a stubborn stone, not giving any reaction at all.
What's the point? !
"Maybe I should give it some Yuansha energy to taste..."
He did it as he thought. Chi Yao released a faint black-red mist with one hand, and with the other hand he pulled out the Chi You Sword and inserted it into the ground close to the ball that Pi Xiu had transformed into.
Under such a double threat, the ball slowly made some movement.
It began to sway from side to side, as if it wanted to escape from the environment, but in Chi Yao's hands, where was the room for it to escape?
So, after a while, the simple patterns on the surface of the ball began to twist, and the round potato-like ball turned into a small beast in the blink of an eye.
Its body is like a tiger and leopard, but its head and tail look more like a dragon. Its skin is golden or jade in color, and there are many hidden lines on it. There are two wings on its back, but they are very short and fleshy, making people wonder whether it can fly with this thing. There is also a pair of big, flashing, watery eyes. Anyone who looks at it will not think how powerful this guy is, he is just a cute beast.
Although little Pixiu didn't speak, Chi Yao understood its meaning through eye contact.
"You say I'm a bad person?"
He looked at the little guy in front of him who could hold it up with both hands and had an aggrieved expression on his face. He was a little bit amused, "Don't say that, I did this to wake you up with a familiar breath! I remember the dragon in your belly back then." The soul is a close partner who fights side by side with this Chi You sword. Now that thousands of years have passed by, wouldn't it be nice to meet an old acquaintance?"
"嘤! 嘤!"
The little Pixiu seemed unable to speak human language, but its cry miraculously made Chi Yao understand its meaning.
"Oh, so you are afraid that I will take out the dragon soul from your body to reactivate the Demon God of War?"
Chi Yao suddenly asked, "Why, will doing this do any harm to you?"
In the little Pixiu's "Ying Ying Ying" narration, Chi Yao figured it out.
It turns out that over thousands of years, this dragon soul has reached a certain degree of symbiotic relationship with little Pixiu.
This is not difficult to understand. Pixiu is an auspicious beast of the same level as a real dragon. According to legend, it has a mouth but no anus. It can swallow everything without releasing it. It can take in food from all directions but cannot get out. Since the dragon soul was eaten by it, some of it was digested. It's also normal.
And if this happens...
Chi Yao's eyes lit up: "Then if you completely digest this dragon soul, can you achieve great growth?"
After all, Pixiu is an auspicious beast along with the dragon, phoenix, unicorn, etc. It is a bit embarrassing to see this palm-sized figure that can only be cute. Since that dragon soul can be used as the driving energy source of the Demon God of War, it must contain a lot of energy. If it can promote the rapid growth of Pixiu, it is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
As for the Demon God of War and so on... To be honest, Chi Yao wasn't very interested in that kind of thing.
After all, his main purpose now is to prepare for his own safety in the next world, not how to rule this world.
So, looking at the cute big eyes of little Pixiu, Chi Yao asked with a smile: "It's not impossible to give you the dragon soul, but it cost me such a huge combat power as the Demon God of War. How are you going to compensate me?"
"Hey?"
Little Pixiu tilted his head, trying to be cute.
It's a pity that Chi Yao didn't accept this, "Anyway, I remember that Xuannv's order to you was to help the Chi You people continue, right? You see, I am the only Chi You person left in the world, and you are the one who protects me. It’s a mission! Right?”
"嘤~"
Little Pixiu thought about it and felt that Chi Yao was right. He even felt a little guilty for the behavior that he had been hiding from before.
Seeing that the little guy was so easy to deceive, Chi Yao struck while the iron was hot, squeezed out a drop of blood and handed it to the little Pixiu's mouth: "Come, we can make a new contract. I will try my best to help you grow, and you must wholeheartedly do it next. How about protecting me?"
"Hey!"
Little Pixiu agreed, and then happily swallowed the drop of blood at Chi Yao's signal.
Essence blood is not ordinary blood, it is something that contains the origin of Chi Yao's power. This thing is quite tempting for Pixiu, who can swallow all things.
This step is actually somewhat similar to conquering the natal Gu, but the binding force is slightly weaker. This drop of essence and blood will allow the two of them to reach an initial state of connection where both will prosper and both will suffer.
"very good!"
Feeling the extra faint connection, the smile on Chi Yao's face became more sincere, "Now can you tell me, besides absorbing the power of the dragon soul, how can I help you grow up quickly?"
"嘤嘤~"
"What? Wait another five hundred years?"
Chi Yao shook his head after hearing this. He would not say whether he could live that long. Even if he could, he would not spend so much time waiting for little Pixiu in this world. After all, due to the limitations of the world level, it is difficult for his strength to make more breakthroughs.
"No, no, I can try another method, or I can tell you if there is any way to help you absorb the dragon soul as quickly as possible."
"Hey."
"Eat? What do you want to eat?"
"嘤~"
"Anything is fine? Are you Pixiu or Taotie?"
"Ugh!!!"
Seemingly because Chi Yao compared him with evil beasts like Taotie, the little Pixiu rarely showed an angry look, bared his teeth and let out a roar of dissatisfaction.
Although it is not intimidating, it is still very cute.
"Okay, okay, you said that eating some dragon energy can help digest the dragon soul? What's the truth? And evil beasts and evil spirits? Hmm..."
After hearing Xiao Pixiu's specific request, Chi Yao fell into thinking.
