Chang Linxiu on the couch did not move, and still maintained the previous playful movements. The Thirteenth Lady Pingting bowed and said, "Second brother, call me concubine?"
"The thirteenth younger brother and sister are here, sit down." Chang Linxiu pointed to the small couch aside.
The Thirteenth Madam Xi Yuan sat down. When she sat down, her peripheral vision fell on Zhao Ning in the corner. Her eyes paused, and confusion and hesitation gradually appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Chang Linxiu noticed, "When Hong Xi was preaching, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood in front of Haokong Tianzun and all the souls. The thirteen brothers and sisters should have heard about it."
"I heard a little bit..." Xi Yuan still didn't move his eyes away from Zhao Ning. After the second sentence, he suddenly came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes and said, "I heard that His Majesty Hong Xi was preaching. It is because he knows that his decline will be difficult to overcome, so he preaches and receives his karma."
"What the thirteen brothers and sisters know is only superficial. The culprit of Tianzun's vomiting blood is the little guy you were looking at just now." Chang Linxiu said with a smile.
Xi Yuan was not surprised that Chang Linxiu pointed it out so straightforwardly, but for some reason his heart trembled a little, and he subconsciously explained, "When I look at this little guy, I always feel a little... a little kind, and he looks so good. Don’t blame me. It’s just that Tianzun’s injury does not involve the little first-order clam demon.”
"This little guy has been recognized by the mythical beast Gou Chen, and has obtained Gou Chen's heavenly book. The thirteen brothers and sisters are originally Dianlin half-demon, so it is normal to feel friendly..."
Chang Linxiu's words made Xi Yuan's eyes suddenly fall on his hand. The wordless book that he pretended to read made Xi Yuan's eyes startled.
Chang Linxiu said with a smile, "As for the Heavenly Lord's injury, it was naturally due to the violation of the Chen Tianshu... That's why the thirteen brothers and sisters were called here."
"Before my younger siblings got married to my thirteenth brother, they were quite famous people in Dianlin Daze. I think the three hundred seals hidden in Dianlin Daze have something to do with the Gou Chen Tianshu."
Xi Yuan hesitated for a moment. Since Chang Linxiu spoke so bluntly, his guess was obviously quite accurate.
She lowered her gaze, sighed, and said, "The three hundred marks of Dianlin Daze were given by His Majesty Hong Xi to save the demon tribes on the edge of Daze. The purpose was to strengthen the strength of these demon tribes to resist other demon tribes in Daze. Human race. I think my second brother is also aware of this matter.
But later on, the demon clan inside Daze also coveted it, so over the years, they were scattered in every corner of Dianlin Daze.
At that time, the concubine's tribe also had an idea, so they asked the concubine to lead several third-level demon kings to fight for it. However, when they wanted to seize the seal, they found that they had to hold the oracle under Hong Xi's crown in order to be recognized by the divine seal. "
"And the oracle is actually a contract..."
When Xi Yuan said this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was partly puzzled and partly flinched from the content of the oracle.
"What is the content of the contract? Could it be that Hong Xi's contract violates the law of heaven?" Chang Linxiu said casually.
"Second brother, please be careful. Whenever we mention the name of the Heavenly Lord, the Heavenly Lord will sense it. Even if the Heavenly Lord of the Moon protects you, Your Majesty Hong Xi will not deliberately pry, but be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."
Xi Yuan first reminded him, and then said, "It does not violate the law of heaven. His Majesty Hong Xi even made it clear about the causes and consequences of the demon god's mark. What he said is -"
——The oracle of the demon god: In ancient times, there was a mythical beast named Gouchen Xingjun. All demons surrendered. They used Gouchen heavenly books to write elegy and sacrifice to the starlord. They exchanged the power of faith for infinite power. Today, the words of the sacrificial inscription are used as a seal. The two things are exchanged and are not involved. Cause and effect does not involve the avenue.
Chang Linxiu squinted his eyes and thought carefully, "If it is faith, does it mean that Hong Xi is crowned as a god?"
"Exactly." Xi Yuan said, "Second brother must have heard that those who believe in gods must not deviate from the gods' path in this life, and their cultivation in this life cannot surpass the gods' cultivation. Back then, Xi Yuan was on the path of Chuxiao, and he was bound to walk out of it. If you come to your own world, even if you are crowned by Hong Xi, you will not want to be limited in your life and be inferior to heaven and man."
"When I was young, I was arrogant and fearless, but now I realize that the road is difficult." Xi Yuan sighed.
After listening to Xi Yuan's explanation, Chang Linxiu roughly connected this series of events. Thinking about this mouthful of blood under Hong Xi's crown, he was afraid that his essence had been backlashed by the power of faith. He was already in a difficult period of decline. With things like this adding insult to injury, no wonder people are eager to catch the culprit.
After thinking about all this, Chang Linxiu felt that he was fully aware of Tianzun's activities, and he no longer cared much about the Tianshu in his hands.
He just smiled and said to Xi Yuan, "Thirteenth brother and sister, don't worry about it. Now that the poisonous barrier in the sky has been lifted, your physical injuries have healed, and you can practice again, you will be able to survive the second calamity sooner or later. By then, the thirteenth brother will not be the second one." Jie Yuanshen has brought honor to my Ji Chang family."
Xi Yuan listened to Chang Linxiu mentioning the poison he had been poisoned, and smiled bitterly, "It was because of the first calamity that he was infected with the muddy sky poison barrier. Later, he was cured by his husband's wonderful method. Xi Yuan did not dare to do this during the second calamity. Think about it again, let alone..."
She was still hesitating to say what she wanted to say, when she suddenly felt a gaze on her. Xi Yuan easily noticed the owner of that gaze. Perhaps it was the strange feeling of closeness that made Xi Yuan turn his eyes again.
Zhao Ning didn't know when she woke up, maybe she had been holding on, but she suddenly withdrew her gaze and huddled in the corner.
Xi Yuan stood up, walked to Zhao Ning's side in small steps, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, poor little clam demon."
Zhao Ning felt a hand touch her face. The hand was as cold as the ice tower, so cold that it was bone-chilling, so Zhao Ning subconsciously avoided it.
Xi Yuan paused at his fingertips and asked softly, "Little clam demon, are the demon patterns on your body naturally so dense?"
The transformation of ordinary monsters will leave some characteristics of the body and form monster lines of different colors on the skin, but the coverage is not large. Some may be a few dark lines under the eyes, some are like traces of the heavenly eye between the eyebrows, and some It's not visible at all when hidden under clothes, and the half-demon's demon patterns are even less visible.
Zhao Ning knew that she was still the same as before, but due to the effect of the Life Pearl, in the recognition of the demon clan in Haimo Cave, she was still "Yimei", so she could not find the demon pattern that spread over large areas and even destroyed her appearance.
She raised her eyes to look at Xi Yuan. The divine light around her was like frost that had persisted for many years. At a glance, her eyes were instantly stung by the ice.
In fact, she wanted to ask Xi Yuan, these are the hallucinations of the Hun Tian Demon Barrier. Since you were also poisoned by the Hun Tian Demon Barrier, how come you didn't notice it at all.
With this thought, I even wanted to ask how to remove the demonic obstacles in the sky.
But there is another Chang Linxiu here. The shadow brought by Chang Linxiu just now made Zhao Ning very wary of the people here. Even though the woman in front of him looked quite gentle, the coolness in her bones made Zhao Ning unable to resist. Dare to get close.
So, when she lowered her head, she could only vaguely say "born".
But even in this perfunctory way, Xi Yuan's eyes kept falling on her. Zhao Ning didn't know what she was exploring, so she didn't dare to act rashly. After a long time, Xi Yuan suddenly said, "Little clam demon, I feel very close to you." I feel that we are destined, after this matter is settled, would you like to go back to Suizhou with me?"
Zhao Ning didn't say anything. So many years of experience taught Zhao Ning that the word "you are destined" is not necessarily a good word, just like the old Taoist priest's "you are destined".
At this time, Chang Linxiu smiled and said to Xi Yuan, "Thirteenth brother and sister, this little clam demon is only at the first level. Look, she can't even withstand the cold of this ice tower, how can she withstand the extreme cold of Suizhou. "
Xi Yuan expected it, and she even said a word to Zhao Ning, "Don't worry, I will open up a warm water area just to be alone, and you won't feel cold living there."
She seemed to be extremely expecting Zhao Ning to agree.
But before she could wait for the answer, someone returned outside the ice building.
Chang Linxiu stood up from the couch and moved away from the main couch. Xi Yuan stopped paying attention to Zhao Ning and returned to his seat. After a while, two people strode out from outside.
The leader had an awe-inspiring aura. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and his aura was even higher than that of Chang Linxiu. Chang Linxiu and Xi Yuan called out "Master" at the same time.
Chang Gaocen, the head of the Jichang family in Suizhou, has passed through the third calamity of the Three Tribulations. He is a very powerful figure among the three calamities.
He did not go to the main couch, but only took two steps before he paused, his eyes falling on Zhao Ning like ice blades, "Is this the culprit that Tianzun is looking for?"
The suspicious attitude was self-evident. Chang Linxiu came over and handed the Yaoxiao and Gou Chen Tianshu to Chang Gaocen, "Brother, the little clam demon was just a mistake at best. The real reason is this Two things.”
He whispered his speculation to Chang Gaocen again, and finally added, "I think the decline of Hong Xi's crown will be really difficult to survive."
Chang Gaocen's eyes froze, and no one saw clearly the sarcasm flashing in his eyes, which was a mockery of Tianzun.
But what he said was, "Stop talking nonsense."
Turning to look at Zhao Ning, "Little guy, you are blessed today, the Heavenly Lord has invited you."
Not to mention Zhao Ning, Chang Linxiu and Xi Yuan were also stunned. Tianzun actually wanted to see this little clam demon. Was it a trial on the spot? No, Tianzun has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and he will never argue with a little clam demon who is less than twenty years old in such a high-sounding way. If he really cares about it, it will destroy his majesty.
Therefore, in Chang Gaocen's words, it is "blessed" rather than "the time of death has come."
However, Xi Yuan still looked at Zhao Ning worriedly. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on how the little clam monster responds.
However, she saw the little clam demon standing up slowly while holding on to the wall. The wounds, blood, and pale face all over her body showed her fragility. She approached Chang Gaocen step by step, but she seemed so... immeasurable. .
Zhao Ning knew that there was no way to escape this encounter. In the vast Jiuzhou, Tianzun was the most powerful person, a god who had truly lived for hundreds of thousands or millions of years.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty."
She bowed and whispered, a weak whisper, not out of fear.
Chang Gaocen took a deep look at her, raised his hand and put Zhao Ning into the Qiankun in his sleeves. Without saying anything more, he took a step outside and disappeared into the ice tower.
Xi Yuan was still looking at the direction Chang Gaocen left from a distance, with a complicated and hesitant look in his eyes. Chang Linxiu stood beside her, glanced at her strangely, then moved away, looking in the direction of Fengdian Lin, but his mouth looked like Said casually.
"Thirteenth brother and sister, what's wrong? Ever since we just returned to the Ice Tower, we have been absent-minded. And...it seems that we particularly value that little clam demon."
Xi Yuan regained consciousness, pursed his lips, endured it again and again, and said, "Second brother, you...do you think that little clam demon looks a bit like me..."
Chang Linxiu was stunned by these words. He never thought that she was hesitating about this matter. He glanced at Xi Yuan and said, "Thirteenth brother and sister, you are a mermaid and a half-demon, not a clam demon. Even if you were As long as the child is born alive, his bloodline will not change."
This was exactly what Xi Yuan had been hesitating about. Finally, she closed her eyes and said goodbye with Chang Linxiu's words, "If my younger siblings still have doubts, it's better to ask my thirteenth brother."
*
Fengdian Forest is a wetland in Dianlin Daze, covering an area of hundreds of miles. There are many great monsters living in it. The forest is shrouded in mist, the mist rises, and clouds and smoke gather in the center of the forest.
Chang Gaocen stepped into the central clouds and smoke, turned around, and the space changed. What appeared was a vast hall. Although it was not as vast as the Taixiao Shrine, it had the momentum of the shrine.
The sky and the earth are covered with clouds, and the smoke forms pillars, forming thirteen pillars surrounding the outside of the space, forming various shapes, such as a coiling dragon, a phoenix, auspicious clouds, and a flying crane...
The main hall forms thirteen high platforms. The highest point is hidden in the halo, and one dare not look at it.
At this moment, there are two huge dharma images faintly on the high platform, which are the gods. The gods themselves have not yet arrived, but the dharma images have come.
A few Yuanshen Venerables were sparsely seated on the remaining twelve high platforms, their aura was terrifying, and their appearance was also obscured by the mist.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chang Gaocen who entered. Chang Gaocen had no expression on his face, raised his hands and bowed to the heights, "The two Heavenly Lords, the little demon has already brought them."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved, and Zhao Ning landed in the center of the round platform at the bottom. The ubiquitous pressure made it impossible for Zhao Ning to stand up. She fell to the ground and only raised her eyes to glance over quickly to avoid seeing her. Despite the damage caused by the Venerable Master and Tianzun, this glance gave Zhao Ning a rough idea of the situation at the moment.
It was not very optimistic. Previously, Chang Linxiu in Binglou said that His Majesty Hong Xi was preaching, and hundreds of souls were listening to the sermon, but now there are only a few souls left. I am afraid that these people are all "internal" souls.
But as long as Haokong Tianzun is here, the previous competition between the two forces must indicate that there is a subtle competition in the hall at this moment.
Zhao Ning thought quickly, and after half a breath, she whispered, "I have met the two Heavenly Lords and all the venerables."
So, those eyes turned to Zhao Ning, trying to see how special Zhao Ning was, but in the eyes of all the souls, Zhao Ning was just a little clam demon.
But in Tianzun's eyes, it was another matter. Haokong Tianzun's voice, which seemed to be far away, seemed to be close, was conveyed in the main hall, "Your Majesty Hongxi, this little guy seems to have a deep relationship with you. He is blessed by His Majesty, no wonder he can hide it so well."
As soon as these words came out, Chang Gaocen was surprised and felt that there was no reason for what he said.
Hong Xi's voice came from under his crown. The voice was very low and hoarse, with a hint of intimidation that resounded throughout the soul, "Haokong Tianzun was joking, but it was just a coincidence. Back then, the Life Pearl was just to improve the strength of the children of the demon clan. It's just a few levels higher, and it's not restricted by the demon pill. This little guy is destined to be a demon. Since he got the Life Pearl and became a little clam demon, he is a little clam demon."
The implication of these words suddenly attracted waves of peeping glances at Zhao Ning, as if they had seen through Zhao Ning from the outside to the inside. But so what, Hong Xi hinted that Zhao Ning was not a demon before he got the life pearl. , now under the cover of the life bead, they can't see what Zhao Ning's body was back then, unless they crush the life bead directly.
Chang Gaocen always felt that this matter was a bit more than expected. He suppressed his doubts, stepped forward, and handed over the Yaoxiao and Gou Chen Tianshu.
"Your Majesty Haokong Tianzun and Hong Xi, the little clam demon is indeed just a little clam demon. It is these two things that really play a role."
The two objects floated high and were wrapped in spiritual light. Haokong Tianzun's voice was slightly surprised.
"These two things actually still exist in Jiuzhou."
Hong Xi said with his head down, "This is something from the era of Yu Yu's ninth heaven. The Gouchen Heavenly Book is a sacred object of our demon clan. It is an elegy composed by the demon god Gouchen himself. It was given to Yu Yu's ninth heaven demon clan, and this demon clan Although the flute has been damaged, and only the upper three inches are original, it is still a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure made by the demon god Gouchen himself." He sighed, "It's a pity that I only live for a few hundred thousand years, and I have never experienced anything like this. Yu Yu has never truly admired the power of Gouchen Demon God in his time in the Nine Heavens. All he knows is only a few words in inherited memories and records of the nine continents. This blood of mine is enough to be able to see the demon god. "
"Oh? The name of the demonic sacred object is well-deserved." Haokong Tianzun's voice was smiling but with a terrifying meaning, "It's just that something that has been dormant for millions of years can hurt Hong Xi's crown, which puzzles me."
Zhao Ning felt a gaze falling on him. Different from the looks of other souls, this gaze was light and not threatening at all, but Zhao Ning had a feeling that everything in the past could not be concealed.
At this moment, a scornful voice was heard, "I heard that in the past hundred years in Dianlin Daze, there have been tens of thousands of casualties in the demon territory under the demon god's mark, and many great demons above the third level have disappeared."
This voice suddenly pulled back the gaze, and Zhao Ning's tense nerves were slightly relieved. The voice was filled with pride and sinisterness, echoing in the spacious hall. She subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice, which was covered by the mist. The person who made the sound could only be seen in outline.
"The envoy suddenly didn't say a word. What did he mean? How come the casualties of our demon tribe are worthy of your eyes?" The demon soul on the other side of the high platform coldly replied.
"The Demon Lord is joking, but I find it strange that although the Demon Clan is multiplying very fast, there are so many casualties in the Wanli area of Dianlin Daze, but it does not produce the slightest filth. I guess the Demon Lords in Dianlin Daze are quite capable. I Even if I want to ask for advice, I don't have to worry too much about cause and effect when my temper is bad and I want to kill to vent my anger."
"Ying Ming."
Venerable Haokong's scolding came from high above.
Ying Ming stood up, slowly raised his hands slightly, and then bowed to the other side of the high platform to show his apology for what he had just said.
