After Emperor Wusheng finished reading the sacrificial inscriptions, he followed the ancestor worship process and went to the banquet. That is, the Xia Yu Dynasty paid for everyone to have a light meal, and then came to the opening ceremony of the martial arts performance in front of the emperor.
The martial arts performance in front of the emperor continued until the evening, and then the first day of ancestor worship ended with the sound of fireworks.
It was still the same the next day, and the martial arts performance in front of the emperor continued for seven days, and the winner received the award during the Lantern Festival.
After the ancestor worship was completed, the steps where Emperor Wusheng and the court officials originally stood were also displaced and turned directly into thick tree branch trusses at the high point of the imperial city, allowing Emperor Wusheng to have the best view of the battle.
……………………
Just when the ancestor worship ceremony had just ended and the feast began on the Imperial City.
In Xia Yu City, a red fox squatting at the office of the Suppressing Demon Division opened his eyes, his eyes showing confusion. A large number of preset scenes appeared in front of him, about the failure of the Jade Rabbit transportation plan, the death of Hall Master Wu Yu, and the death of the Demon Suppressing Division. A comprehensive inventory of the foxes in Xia Yu's main city.
"Hehehe"
The newborn little red fox, which had not yet developed its intelligence, showed a humane smile and said: "Old man, didn't you think that I was hiding in the fetus of the female fox?"
The red fox's cheeks showed pleasure, and there was no spiritual energy or soul fluctuation on his body. He looked exactly like a very ordinary red fox born less than two months ago.
But the creature hidden in Red Fox's body is one of the left and right guardians of the Nightmare Town sect in the central state. His cultivation level is second only to the right guardian of the leader of the Nightmare Town sect, named: Chongming.
Chongming stood up directly, shook his little fox arms and waist, then landed on all fours, and ran straight towards the Demon Suppressing Department's warehouse. Along the way, he did not encounter any monks from the Demon Suppressing Department who were too strong in cultivation.
Protector Zuo was playing hide and seek with the Demon Suppressing Priests, while the Hall Master was running around to carry out sabotage, temporarily involving the Ministry of War and some of the Demon Suppressing Division envoys. In addition, the Imperial City was holding the Xia Yu Ancestral Sacrifice. As long as Chongming did not expose his cultivation and The breath will not be detected.
Chongming was very familiar with the inside of the Demon-Suppressing Division, and even knew the loopholes and flaws in the formation. He did not need to use his own magic power to use only one spirit stone to create a control seal on the ban on the warehouse to open a door.
Chongming bit the spirit stone obtained from the flowers and ran to the interior of the Demon Suppressing Secretary's warehouse. He didn't pay attention to the treasures and secret books placed on the shelves. His figure disappeared directly into the darkness and moved forward. The warehouse seemed to have no end.
Chongming kept running wildly in the warehouse without encountering any obstacles or hearing any sounds.
Chongming was not surprised by this, because the Demon Suppressor's warehouse was adjacent to a prison in a different space.
The demons who suppressed the demons were not Nightmare Town disciples. The ordinary Nightmare Town sect was not worthy of such a luxurious prison.
His trip was to go to the prison and give the man an item to help him break the bonds of the prison.
"Why"
An old sigh sounded, and the old man on crutches walked out of the shadows, stopped in front of Chongming and said: "Xia Chongming, why don't you know how to adapt? Even if you wake up the leader of Nightmare Town, what will happen? What’s the point?”
"Isn't it better to just let the past go with the wind?"
The old man on crutches stopped in front of Red Fox and gave Xia Chongming a stern warning.
….
"I ask you, how can we give up? There is no way in front of us or behind us. Now we are like poor people on a lonely island. The only way was cut off at the beginning because of your obstruction."
Xia Chongming squatted on the ground. The flesh and blood on the young fox's back gradually split. A dark arm stained with red fox blood protruded from the cavity. His palm covered with dragon scales grasped the ground heavily and pulled his body out.
Xia Chongming's figure gradually crawled out. His upper body was covered with jet black dragon scales, phoenix feathers sprouted from his back, his head was half like a human and half like an animal, and his lower body was like some kind of canine creature, with recurved knees.
Seeing this, the old man raised his eyelids slightly and said: "For the sake of your fellow tribesmen and your past contributions, if you withdraw now, I can still pretend that nothing happened. Don't make irrational choices because of your own greed."
The reason why the Nightmare Town method is taboo is because
It can infinitely devour the innate magical powers and adopt the innate magical powers of the demon clan as its own. However, when the caster seizes the body of the demon clan, the connected soul will also seize the body together.
Those foreign souls will take root in the soul of the caster and have a lasting and irreversible impact on it.
Therefore, the day when the method of Nightmare Town is completed is also the day when the practitioner dies.
It is very common for a spell caster to be taken away by an external spirit, and all efforts are made to make a wedding dress for others, or the spirit cannot bear the other spirits and directly collapses.
Xia Chongming took a look at his current appearance, raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Your Highness, have you seen that Chongming's current appearance is all thanks to you, but I don't resent your royal family. I have always been grateful for what you have given me." The method of Nightmare Town, the method of Nightmare Town improved by you is really very easy to use."
As he spoke, Xia Chongming's face gradually turned ferocious: "It's just that you shouldn't have done anything to stop us when we were about to succeed. You killed King Yu!"
"Your Highness, do you still want to stop us now?"
The old man didn't speak, but slowly picked up the "crutch" hidden in the shadows, raised his hand and held his shoulder and pulled out the long sword inside. A ripple spread out, enveloped, and swallowed the old man as the center. The old man's figure seemed to Gradually he regained his youthful appearance.
The prince's eyes gradually became colder, and the shadows of thousands of swords brought out endless shadows of blood.
Xia Chongming, the right protector who broke into the Demon Suppressing Prison, couldn't even block the old man's sword and died instantly.
The long sword engraved with mountains, rivers and stars returns to its scabbard.
The Demon Suppressing Prison returned to calm again. The old man walked slowly inside with a cane, sat down on a futon in front of a giant golden door, put the "cane" on his lap, looked behind him, and sighed.
Behind the golden door there is an iceberg and darkness that reaches as far as the eye can see.
The screams and roars continued in the darkness, and the two giant beasts eternally frozen in the iceberg exuded a suffocating sense of oppression. The white fox's huge nine tails were pointing towards the sky, and it was biting the dragon-shaped beast with a ferocious look on its face. During the fight, he was frozen in ice, but he still maintained his former appearance and was transferred to the Prison of the Demon Suppressor for supervision.
The old man closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep, ignoring everything behind the golden door.
Xia Yu did go astray once, but his mistakes have been corrected again.
However, the sins once committed will not fade away so easily with time. The world behind the golden door is the dark and turbulent history of Xia Yu.
The old man has been sitting here all year round to prevent any living beings from learning about the dark and turbulent history of Xia Yu. Only when all the living beings inside have dissipated between heaven and earth can the old man's life be considered to have come to an end.
Before that, even if Emperor Wusheng came, the old man would fight him to the death.
As a parent, the prince will leave with the dark secrets inside and leave Xia Yu a glorious and prosperous age.
