Wuzhiqi is dead.
This water-promoting ape, which had made trouble during the reign of Yu the Great and had been suppressed for thousands of years, died under Li Daoxuan's sword, which sounds a bit incredible.
But the fact that Li Daoxuan knew all this was not accidental.
Because this world is no longer what it was in ancient times, the old Heavenly Master once said that the spiritual energy of the world is gradually declining, especially after the Eternal Night Incident, it dropped suddenly and was far less than before.
This is also the reason why there are still inheritances of cultivation techniques, but there are fewer and fewer Yangshen realms.
According to ancient records in Longhu Mountain, before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were not a few Yang gods in the world, and there were even Earth gods who often appeared, taking medicine to practice Qi, and swimming in the rivers.
But now Yang Shen is already at the top.
During the thousands of years of suppression, Wuzhiqi was often deprived of food, and his flesh and blood essence declined severely. Coupled with the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this had a great impact on a creature like him that was born innately, so it was once indestructible. His indestructible body was only now destroyed by the joint efforts of several Yang gods.
In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong actually had a similar experience. He was pinned down by the Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain and fed copper juice and iron pills by the earth for five hundred years. After he came out, his magic power was greatly reduced, and he often couldn't defeat monsters on his way west.
Of course, Li Daoxuan felt that there was another reason why Dayu did not kill Wuzhiqi back then, which was that he did not want to cause too many disasters.
Wuzhiqi is a divine ape born from the innate power of water. He has been blessed by heaven and earth and has deep luck. He is equivalent to the biological son of heaven. Although he is a bit naughty, you can just teach him a lesson. If you kill him directly, , God will send down punishment.
At that time, Dayu fought with Wuzhiqi to control the flood. If he killed Wuzhiqi and caused Heaven to blame him, and the flood was violent, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Maybe there were gods and Buddhas who took a fancy to Wuzhiqi at that time, and wanted to be extradited to be the gods of the mountains, so they used Dayu's hand to rub Wuzhiqi's temperament. Unexpectedly, when the eternal night fell, the gods and Buddhas mysteriously disappeared, and then he let Wuzhiqi disappear. Wuzhiqi was constantly suppressed.
How can a dignified human being not understand these worldly things?
Thinking about it this way, Li Daoxuan is not so surprised. The only thing he is confused about now is what Moro is doing, and why Wuzhiqi didn't show up when he begged for help before he died?
Li Dao
Legend has it that a famous sword should be struck with blood. In history, some swordsmiths would even jump into the furnace to sacrifice blood to the sword on the day it was completed.
Now the sword spirit of Juque seems to have realized that the blood essence is a good thing, and absorbs all of it into the sword body. The originally dark epee becomes even blacker and more translucent. The deep black is like a black hole, swallowing to the surrounding light.
As an ancient divine beast, Wuzhiqi can be said to be full of treasures, and its essence and blood are even rarer in the world. Li Daoxuan's heart moved, and he immediately raised his sword finger, letting Chixiao and Bailong's swords also penetrate Wuzhiqi. in the heart.
Wuzhiqi's cold body trembled slightly.
Li Shimin's heart trembled in the distance. He didn't expect that Taichong would be so cruel and would not even spare the corpse...
Until the three magical swords could no longer absorb it, they staggered back to the Dragon Sword Box, as if they were drunk, and there was not much blood essence left in Wu Zhiqi's heart.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. He wondered what changes would happen to these three magical swords after absorbing Wuzhiqi's blood essence.
Of course, what he is most looking forward to now is the Heavenly Book reward he received after killing Wuzhi Qi.
Just when Li Daoxuan was about to sink his mind into his mind and take a look at the rewards of "The Book of Demons", the originally clear night sky suddenly darkened, and thunderclouds gathered together, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.
It seemed as if the whole world was weeping for Wuzhiqi's death.
This scene really frightened many of the surviving people. Now they are almost talking about it.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Li Dao
Boom!
Muffled thunder sounded within his body, and streaks of purple-green lightning circulated on his skin. His whole body was like a thunder giant that shook the sky and the earth, and every hair turned into a thunder snake.
Li Daoxuan used his mysterious power to gradually digest all the thunder, and finally let out a burp that sounded like thunder.
The red rabbit and horse were all shocked.
There was a joyful look in his eyes. The "Five Thunder Yang Yuan Gong" that he had just broken through not long ago had taken a big step forward again, making his body tougher and stronger. He was not far from the seventh level.
He himself never thought that practicing the thunder method under the laws of heaven and earth would be like receiving divine help!
This was an unexpected surprise.
At this moment, the people in Chang'an City all looked up at this shocking scene. When the heavy rain was strangled in the cradle, and the lightning was swallowed by the giant, Chang'an City once again ushered in the bright moonlight, and infinite joy was born in everyone's heart. of admiration.
Some children will remember this scene deeply in their hearts.
Decades later, when these children who had experienced the Zhenguan flood became octogenarians, and Chang'an had long since changed, they would still tell their children the story of what happened tonight.
The giant ape who made trouble, the goddess who walked on water, Guan Gong who struck with swords and horses, and the giant who swallowed lightning have become indelible memories of this generation of Chang'an people.
…
"Ma'am, I'll take my leave!"
When Guan Yu saw that Wuzhi Qi was dead, he laughed loudly and said goodbye.
There were tiny gaps on his Qinglong Yanyue Sword. It was obvious that a lot of losses were incurred in this battle. However, Guan Gong was worthy of being a hero with great righteousness. After the incident, he walked away without any greed for Wuzhiqi's body. Didn't ask for any compensation.
They come to subdue the demons and return after killing them all.
The red rabbit horse neighed, its hooves wrapped with fire, and took Guan Gong away on the moon. His heroic laughter still echoed in the air.
"Master, if there is another good thing about slaying demons next time, don't forget about Guan!"
"This battle, be happy!"
Li Daoxuan looked at Guan Gong's back, feeling a burst of admiration in his heart.
There are so many heroes in history, but only Master Guan was able to achieve such brilliant achievements in Shinto. Whether before or after his death, he used his life to practice his beliefs and never forgot his original intention.
Although such people are a bit arrogant, they are admirable after all.
Moreover, Li Daoxuan felt that Guan Yu's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a lot. He was no longer arrogant, but respected him very much, and even bluntly asked him to continue summoning him next time. This was very rare for Guan Yunchang, who had a higher eye than his head.
You must know that when Li Daoxuan called Guan Yu for the first time in the underworld, the other party's attitude was very proud, and he never said such words when he left.
Chen Ziyu still held an umbrella and stood quietly beside Li Daoxuan, her hair fluttering without any reflection in the moonlight.
Li Daoxuan felt very at ease. With Sister Yu by his side, he would be able to deal with it even if Moro showed up, so he sunk his mind into the sea of consciousness and took a look at the rewards in the "Book of Demons."
When Wu Zhiqi was killed, the "Book of Demons and Demons" burst out with extremely bright light. If Li Daoxuan hadn't been afraid of Moro hiding in the dark, he would have been unable to resist taking a look.
"In June of the second year of Zhenguan, I killed Wuzhi Qi, the water-promoting divine ape, in Chang'an, and received the reward - [Xuanming True Water], one of the seven sacred waters!"
"Xuanming Zhenshui: The natal water of Water God Gonggong is the manifestation in the world after the water path of the Five Elements Dao merges with the turbid air of the earth. It abandons the softness of water and the power of nurturing life, and only pursues the ultimate attack power. And lethality, with the power of freezing three thousand worlds and endless time and space, it is the most offensive divine water in the innate divine water."
"At the same time, because Gonggong is a natural water god, the principles of water are naturally imprinted in his blood. As his natal true water, Xuanming True Water has the ability to command all waters, rivers, lakes, seas, abyss and swamps. When Xuanming comes out, all waters Surrender!”
Regarding this Xuan Ming True Water, "The Book of Dang Mo Tian Shu" is not stingy with its pen and ink. The large gilt ancient seal script explains the origin and function of the Xuan Ming True Water.
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up and his heart was filled with excitement.
It is said that water and fire are merciless. Regarding fire, there are many popular legends in the world, such as the Nanming Lihuo that can boil the East China Sea with a fingernail size, such as the three-legged Golden Crow Sun Fire, Samadhi True Fire, Liuding Divine Fire, etc. .
Flame can be used to fight enemies and make elixirs. It can be said to have endless magical uses.
But few people know that water is terrible.
In myths and legends, there were seven kinds of divine water, each of which was infinitely powerful and magical. The first among them was the three-light divine water of Yuanshi Tianzun in "The Romance of the Gods".
This water is composed of Sunlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water and Starlight Divine Water. Each of these three kinds of divine water is a unique poison, but together, it is the first holy medicine in myth, which can solve all the problems in the three realms and six paths. poison.
This water was first stored in the eight-treasure glass vase of Yuanshi Tianzun, and then in the jade pure vase in the hand of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
In "Journey to the West", Guanyin Bodhisattva used this magical water to revive the ginseng fruit tree that was pushed down by Sun Wukong. Otherwise, even Emperor Donghua and Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals, could not do anything about it. How could Guanyin solve it so easily?
The Xuanming True Water obtained by Li Daoxuan is one of the seven kinds of divine water. It is the natal true water of the water god Gonggong. It has extremely strong offensive capabilities and can even freeze three thousand worlds and endless time and space at its peak!
This description makes Li Daoxuan yearn for it. If he obtains this Xuanming True Water, he will undoubtedly master a big killer weapon. When the time comes, he will have the Heaven Seal in his left hand and the Xuanming True Water in his right hand. Who in the world can rival it?
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan immediately chose to withdraw the reward.
Now I don't know where Moro is hiding, and Fan Tian cannot use Yang Shen. If he can have the Xuan Ming True Water, it is equivalent to having an extra trump card.
As his mind moved, a drop of jelly-like blue liquid flew out from the "Book of Demons", with ancient and mysterious lines lingering on it. Just looking at it made people feel cold to the bone. It feels like even my soul is trembling!
Li Daoxuan wanted to extract it like a magic weapon, but to his surprise, Xuanming Zhenshui did not obey his orders at all. As soon as it appeared, it turned into a ray of light and penetrated him at lightning speed. in the heart.
The next moment, Li Daoxuan's originally happy face suddenly froze.
A bone-chilling coldness spread from the heart to the internal organs, even affecting the soul and spirit.
Li Daoxuan only felt that the time around him slowed down for an instant, or it was not that time slowed down, but that his perception of time slowed down, and even his thinking was gradually freezing!
Exhale and turn into ice!
At this moment, the billions of pores on Li Daoxuan's limbs and bones were filled with bone-chilling cold air. Endless frost air spread around him, and a thick layer of ice formed on the ground.
Chen Ziyu was the first to notice something was wrong. Lotus shadows floated around her body, resisting the terrible cold air. She raised her eyes and saw that Li Daoxuan had turned black and turned into an ice sculpture.
What alarmed her the most was that Li Daoxuan's heart also completely stopped beating!
call!
When the night wind blew, Li Daoxuan fell down stiffly. With how frozen he was now, if he fell to the ground, he would probably fall apart and become a wreckage on the ground.
At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Ziyu resolutely stretched out her hand and held Li Daoxuan.
But the moment she touched Li Daoxuan's body, the invulnerable lotus body trembled violently, and a layer of ice crawled down her arms towards her body.
Lotus shadows bloomed, and the lotus mark between Chen Ziyu's eyebrows burst into brilliant light. The Xiaoxiang Divine Seal flew out from it, trying to absorb the cold air from Li Daoxuan's body, but with little success.
There was a trace of pain in her eyes, and it was obvious that even in the Yang Shen realm, it was still difficult to resist the terrible cold air.
She just clenched her teeth to hold on, and the oil-paper umbrella in her hand turned into a sea of flowers. When the petals fell, she and Li Daoxuan disappeared.
"Taichong!"
When Li Shimin hurried over with the bad guys, he found that there was no one here, only the thick ice layer was left, and the cold was still rising.
Wuzhiqi's huge body was half frozen.
"What happened to Taichong just now? Could it be that Moro took action in secret?"
Wang Bo shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like it. If it was really Moro who did it, then his methods would be too terrible. You know, the national master just killed Wuzhi Qi!"
After a pause, he comforted and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Jiren, the national master, has his own destiny and is definitely not a short-lived person. Besides, the Xiaoxiang goddess just now seems to have a close relationship with the national master, so she must not be a short-lived person." I’ll stand by and watch.”
Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Wuzhiqi's body with a deep look, and said: "Send someone to clear the dungeon and put the monster's body in for now. Remember, try not to damage it."
"promise!"
…
Tang Dynasty, Henan Road, Shangyang City.
In the silence of the night, a figure sat quietly in a deserted Zen courtyard somewhere. The place was filled with dead branches and rotten leaves, and there were cobwebs and dust everywhere, but he did not dislike it at all, and even showed a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
More than two hundred years ago, it was in this Zen monastery that he met his best friend, Bodhidharma.
The two of them were sitting here, talking from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, and from autumn to winter.
When the snow melts and everything revives, the distant bells of Dinglin Temple will ring, reminding the world that it is another cycle of four seasons.
Sanle sat leaning against the wall for a long time, until his stomach made the sound of hunger, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
He held his stomach, shook his head, smiled, and sighed: "They all say that a big belly can be tolerated, but in fact, there are some things that I still can't tolerate after all..."
After remembering his old friend, he opened the door and prepared to leave.
But an old beggar in shabby clothes stood at the door, holding a roast chicken in one hand and a wine bottle in the other. His face was ugly in the moonlight, and his body was covered with pus-producing tumors.
"Sanle, do you really want to go?"
Sanle laughed and said, "I have to go."
The old beggar smacked his lips, clasped his teeth, threw the bitten roast chicken to him, and said: "We are about to go on the road, why don't we try it?"
"good."
Unexpectedly, Sanle took the half of the roasted chicken, ate to his full stomach, and then spit out the chicken bones.
The next moment, a magical scene happened. The chicken bones gathered together automatically, regenerated hair and flesh, made a cry, came back to life from death, and escaped with fluttering wings.
The old beggar laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that what you ate was not its flesh and blood, but its sinful karma, so you can bring the dead back to life. How wonderful!"
After a pause, he sneered again: "But you really think you are Maitreya. If you can save it once, can you save it a second time? The old beggar will catch it back now and bake it again!"
Sanle recited the Buddha's name and said calmly: "I am not Maitreya."
After a pause, he raised his head, his eyes free and full of energy, seeming to have a dazzling light, and his originally calm voice had a little more fluctuation.
"But Maitreya is not me either."
Urticaria broke out today. I went to the hospital for a checkup. I applied medicine when I came back, but my condition is not good. This chapter actually took six or seven hours to code. I’m very sorry for keeping everyone waiting~
