In ancient Chinese myths and legends, if you talk about dogs, the first thing that comes to mind is of course Erlang Shen’s Xiaotian Dog.
In head-to-head combat, Xiaotian Dog may not be considered top-notch, but as a dog, Xiaotian Dog is a professional.
In this pair of partners, Erlang Shen usually presses head-on, and Xiaotian Dog comes to attack unexpectedly.
The defeated enemies include the ancient demon Nine-Headed Insect and the arrogant Monkey King!
In any case, instead of catching Erlangshen, it was good to get the hidden weapon Xiaotian Dog.
But……
Chen Luo looked at the paper dog in his hand and felt that the guarantee was too crooked this time.
At least, there comes out a Xiu Gou Gou who can wag his tail and give you his paws when you say "hello" to him!
What's the point of giving a piece of paper?
It’s not Zhang Guolao’s donkey!
But after Chen Luo calmed down for a while, he also reacted.
this……
It's really not a mechanical issue.
In the setting of "The Romance of the Gods", Xiaotian Dog is really a treasure, not a living being.
After all, I have never seen a description of Xiaotian Dog following Yang Jian in the book, and when the Xiaotian Dog appears on the stage, the word used is "sacrifice"...
So, maybe the little dog in my impression is just a tool spirit?
Shaking his head, Chen Luo shook off all the messy thoughts, and then pinched the piece of paper dog with his index and middle fingers. The red dust air from his body was continuously injected into the piece of paper. When the whole piece of paper turned into blood red, Chen Luo Luo threw the piece of paper into the air, pointed towards it, and then, with a slight hesitation and a strange look on his face, he shouted——
"Woof!"
"Woof!" The next moment, the piece of paper suddenly turned into a cloud of white smoke, and then a white dog with a thin waist emerged from the smoke and jumped directly into Chen Luo's arms.
Looking at the dog who was showing intimacy with him, Chen Luo reached out and touched the dog's head.
Fortunately, this shameful summoning ritual only needs to be performed once. Next time, the dog will appear automatically with just a thought.
"But... isn't it a permanent treasure?" A piece of paper dog appeared in Chen Luo's soul sea. At this time, the paper dog was slowly burning. It seemed that as long as it burned out, the dog could no longer be summoned.
"Yang Jian, you are a top master after all, but this is a bit too stingy..." Chen Luo narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he felt that the rebellious boy was not so annoying anymore.
Chen Luo complained for a while, then looked at the fake Xiao Tian Dog wagging his tail in front of him, and took out a few items that Fang Zhiwu and Fang Zhiru often used from the storage order.
"Come, let's find out where their owner is now?" Chen Luo said, pointing to the pile of objects.
The limited-time Xiaotian Dog glanced at those objects, but did not move at all. Instead, he looked straight at Chen Luo with his eyes.
"What are you looking at me for? Just smell it!" Chen Luo urged.
The time-limited Xiaotian dog whimpered, lay down directly, and rolled its eyelids at Chen Luo.
Chen Luo wanted to push again, but suddenly he reacted.
For the Qiankun Realm, things such as smell and appearance can be changed at will. For example, his martial arts blood body transformation, even the breath of the soul can be changed, so naturally it cannot be used as a basis for tracking.
Apart from the origin of life, the only thing that truly remains unchanged is the Great Dao.
Even the blood transformation is a magical power of martial arts, so Chen Luo was seen through by people with cultivation levels much higher than his before, because the other party was able to detect Chen Luo's true body through the Great Dao Sense.
"If it's a big road..."
Chen Luo thought for a while and took out a scripture from the storage order.
This scripture meaning was written by Fang Zhiwu. It was originally used by Chen Luo to study the absurdity of Fang Li's Dao. Unexpectedly, it came in handy here first.
Chen Luo took the meaning of the scripture and poured a ray of earthly energy into it. Suddenly the green light bloomed on the meaning of the scripture, and there was a faint power of Fang Li to compete with the earthly energy. At this moment, Xiaotian Dog suddenly stood up, As soon as he sniffed it with his slender nose, he immediately inhaled the green light.
The next moment, Xiaotian Dog's ears stood up. It sniffed a few times, then shouted at Chen Luo and rushed out of the study.
"found it!"
Chen Luo was so happy that he sent a message to Zhusheng and followed the Xiaotian Dog to chase him out!
…
Mantian.
Emperor Man walked into the heart of the Wumei Snow Mountain and walked all the way in. After about a hundred feet, his eyes suddenly opened up. This place seemed to have been hollowed out, and the huge luminous jade stone released its light, illuminating the interior of the mountain.
In the middle of the mountain, the most eye-catching thing is the eight-sided large banner that is several feet high, forming a circle. This eight-sided banner is the royal banner of the eight great Khan tribes of the barbarians!
Blood energy circulated on the large banner, but after the blood energy circulated along a trajectory, it turned into black gas and slowly sank.
Under the big banner, there is a figure sitting in the south and north respectively.
The figure due north was wearing the same robe as the Emperor Mantian. The face under the crown was as withered as a skeleton. He was sitting cross-legged and lifeless.
The figure due to the south is also as thin as a skeleton. Judging from the figure, it is a barbarian woman, but at this time there is no trace of the charm of a barbarian woman, just like a mummy. Her skin was a strange blood color, and countless runes were flowing on her skin like streams.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Emperor Man, Ta Gu, who was not far away, came to Emperor Man and bowed.
Emperor Mantian nodded, walked directly to the mummy in imperial robes, bowed respectfully, then stood up and asked calmly: "How is it?"
"The method provided by Fang Zhigu is indeed useful. It can convert blood energy into demonic will. It is no less efficient than the bloodthirsty formation."
Emperor Mantian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Humans, sometimes they think they are too smart and other races are fools."
Ta Gu also smiled and agreed: "Exactly. Fang Zhigu probably thought that even if we mastered the method, we would have to launch a large-scale war to collect enough blood energy, so he handed this method to us happily."
"But how did he know that we have been preparing for this catastrophe for more than two thousand years since His Majesty Yidu reformed the Khanate."
Speaking of this, Ta Gu frowned again: "But Your Majesty, that Fang Zhigu..."
Emperor Man shook his head: "He has a special status, so don't touch him for the time being. At least for now, he and we have common interests."
"As for the future, I am also very curious about what kind of confidence he has to compete with Mantian!"
Tagu nodded: "He has already made arrangements to disturb the northern border of the human race."
After saying that, he smiled again: "In this case, I'm afraid the human race will continue to replenish their combat power at the Great Wall of Righteousness."
Emperor Mantian didn't speak, just nodded slightly, then looked at the Barbarian girl under the banner, and said indifferently: "What's going on over at Yuebu?"
"Keep the pressure and don't make them suspicious." Emperor Mantian ordered, "If it weren't for the next plan, why would I, under Mantian, keep these things that have been eaten inside and outside for so many years."
"yes!"
After explaining these things, Emperor Man stood with his hands behind his back and said no more words. Tagu waved his hand, causing the other barbarian gods and barbarian sacrifices present to withdraw from the mountain.
After everyone retreated, Emperor Mantian sighed softly, and his eyes fell on the mummy of the emperor again.
"Tagu, the human race talks about cause and effect, but it is indeed mysterious."
"Back then, my father arranged all this in Wumei Snow Mountain under the guise that he was afraid of the Fang Sheng of the human race."
"Now that the Emperor is here again, he is worried about the human race Chen Luo."
"This cycle is really a strange one."
Tagu smiled: "Both His Majesty Yidu and you are doing it for our barbarians. This has never changed."
Emperor Mantian waved his hand: "The game six hundred years ago was the last foreshadowing left by my father. After saving up so far, I thought there would be no ups and downs, but I didn't expect that Chen Luo would appear."
"The human race is really tough."
"It's nothing more than a small variable that requires fine-tuning the original plan." Tagu was silent for a moment and continued, "Maybe he can buy us some time, which is not a bad thing for us barbarians."
After hearing this, Emperor Man patted Ta Gu on the shoulder, then swung his cloak and walked towards the mountain.
…
The vast sky.
A thin white dog cut across the sky, and behind it, Chen Luo followed closely.
Soon, the Xiaotian dog stopped in the air, raised its nose and continued to sniff, then ran in the other direction.
…
Wanren Mountain.
Lu Fangweng stood in the air, looking at the several barbarian gods under the barbarian sky, and raised his eyebrows.
"Want to give Fang Zhiwu and Fang Zhiru a chance to escape?"
"Now that you're coming, don't go back!"
Lu Fangweng raised his leg and stepped into the void.
Almost at the same time, several more Semi-Saints walked into the void above the northern border.
A holy war is about to break out!
…
Xiaotian Dog stopped and began to fall towards the earth.
Chen Luo lowered his head and glanced at the terrain below.
"May I ask where the plum blossoms fall? The wind blows all over the mountain all night long."
Guanshan!
Stepping on the ground, Xiaotian Dog began to run wildly in one direction, and Chen Luo followed closely behind. Soon, Chen Luo saw a small yard in the distance.
In the small yard, an old man was chatting with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had a pile of firewood in his hand. He looked like a woodcutter in the mountains.
Xiaotian dog barked, and the middle-aged man looked back.
"Come to me!" The old man raised his head, smiled at Chen Luo, as if he had known him for a long time, and said to the woodcutter, "Boy, if I don't chat with you, someone will come to arrest me."
The woodcutter only thought that the other party was joking. He stood up and carried the firewood and said with a smile: "You really know how to joke. I don't want you to stay alone in the mountains. I want to take you back to enjoy the happiness."
With that said, the woodcutter walked out carrying firewood. He looked at Chen Luo carefully and patted Chen Luo on the shoulder: "This young man looks energetic and looks a bit like...our Shengwu King."
"Brother, thank you." Chen Luozuo said with a smile, "How dare you compare with King Shengwu."
The woodcutter said nothing and walked out of the mountain with a smile.
At this time, Fang Zhiwu picked up the teapot and said to Chen Luo, "Want a cup of tea?"
"Well, I've been looking for you for so long, so I'm a little thirsty."
…
Hot tea is just ordinary jasmine powder, with a strong floral fragrance.
"Thank you." Fang Zhiwu pushed the teacup in front of Chen Luo.
"After all, he is a semi-saint, and he is also working hard for the human race outside the world, so he must have dignity."
Chen Luo took a sip of tea, then looked around and chuckled: "Where is Senior Fang Zhiru? Could it be that you are a bait?"
Fang Zhiwu's expression was natural and he said: "From a emotional point of view, I don't want to enter the barbarian world, and it has nothing to do with the bait or not; from a logical point of view, I am the elder brother and Ah Ru is the younger brother, so it is appropriate for me to fend off the calamity for him. "
"If you want to chase Ah Ru, I will take action regardless of whether I can stop you or not."
Chen Luo raised his eyebrows, closed his eyes for a moment, and said, "That's not necessary."
"Man Tian is fighting with Fang Weng and the others."
"It should be you who is protecting Fang Zhi."
"He will show up on his own, and there will naturally be someone to take care of him, so I don't have to join in the fun."
"It's rare to see you. I have something to ask you."
Fang Zhiwu's expression remained unchanged, he poured himself a cup of tea and said calmly: "What?"
Chen Luo sighed: "What are you trying to do?"
Even if the Taoist struggle fails, the Fang family will not fall, and the bamboo forest will not be wiped out. In ten years, twenty years, even a hundred years, or two hundred years, as long as a genius comes out, the Fang family can make a comeback.
He can't reach the top of the Saint Clan, but he is indispensable.
At this time, he killed Han Yiren, took the treasure of enlightenment, exposed himself, and disappeared into the wild world, almost turning the Fang family into a traitorous state.
Picture what?
"What if I say it's for the sake of the world and eternal peace?" After Fang Zhiwu finished speaking, he smiled, "Isn't it ridiculous?"
Chen Luo didn't smile or speak, he just looked at Fang Zhiwu quietly.
Fang Zhiwu put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the sky.
"Do you think, I don't know, that Fang Zu's way is completely different from the way we are practicing now?"
"Do you think that I don't know the principles of the world and have been suffering for my family for a long time?"
"But what's the use of knowing it?"
Fang Zhiwu looked at Chen Luo: "We won't be able to survive this disaster."
"This calamity?" Chen Luo frowned slightly, "Yuan calamity?"
"Chen Luo, you are still a little behind." Fang Zhiwu did not answer Chen Luo's question and said to himself, "You summoned Li Nezha under Dongcang City! You summoned Lei Zhenzi during the battle in the Western Region."
"I think the church is very happy."
"Because, those are saint-level combat powers!"
"In the coming Yuan Tribulation, every saint's fighting power may be the hope for the continuation of the human race!"
"But……"
Speaking of this, Fang Zhiwu's expression fluctuated for the first time, and there was a deep fear in the depths of his seemingly calm eyes.
"What if good fortune comes during this tribulation?"
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes, and the aura on his body was released unconsciously. He looked at Fang Zhiwu and said word by word: "Speak clearly!"
Fang Zhiwu pointed at the tea: "Drink the tea, it's getting cold."
Afterwards, Fang Zhiwu continued: "Six hundred years ago, in my Fang family, a semi-saint went crazy. Have you heard of it?"
Hearing this, Chen Luo thought for a moment and nodded: "I know, my name is Fang Wuyang."
"Six hundred years ago, a large number of heavenly demons suddenly appeared outside the sky. At first, the Holy Church thought that the catastrophe was advanced. Now it seems that it may be Mantian's move."
"A large number of semi-saints and Taoists were drawn out of the sky to resist the demons, which resulted in the emptiness of China. Mantian broke through the Great Wall of Righteousness and went south to China. The previous dynasty was destroyed. Until the demons were defeated, the saints supported the Ye family to rebuild Daxuan."
"Senior Fang Wuyang once participated in the war in the outer world, but in the end he went crazy. It is said that he was invaded by the devil and polluted the avenue."
Fang Zhiwu nodded.
"After the ancestor Fang Wuyang returned, he was sealed."
"When I was young, I, Fang Zhiru, Fang Zhibi, and our eldest brother Fang Zhigu accidentally broke into the place where he was sealed."
"At that time, his longevity was at the end of his life."
"In my memory, he seemed to have become extremely sober when he looked back."
"He said that he heard it and heard Fang Zu's voice."
"Fangzu told him that a demon of good fortune wanted to invade the ancestral land."
"After that, he stopped breathing."
"I always thought that he might be waiting for someone to tell this secret, so he kept supporting Shouyuan."
Listening to Fang Zhiwu's words, Chen Luo was noncommittal.
"Yes, no one believes what a lunatic said before he died." Fang Zhiwu shook his head, "But, we believe it."
"It was also from that day on that Fang Zhigu determined to recreate the way of Saint Fang. Saint Kong is too far away from us. In our opinion, only by reappearing the way of Saint Fang can we resist the devil of creation. We are not that A lot of courage, but we all decided to help him!”
"So, this is the reason why you slaughtered your colleagues and defected to Mantian?" Chen Luo was silent for a moment and then said softly, "In addition to Han Yiren, there were four other half-saints who died at the hands of Fang Zhigu. This matter You should know that, right?"
Fang Zhiwu was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said in a low voice: "There must be sacrifices."
"Well, I'm not very old, but there are several types of people I hate." Chen Luo smiled, "The kind of people who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and are willing to sacrifice others at every turn, are ranked very high among them. one type."
"This kind of person, while alive, is a threat to others."
"For such a noble thing as sacrificing one's life for the so-called ideal, they should be given priority."
Fang Zhiwu opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and then nodded with a bitter look on his face: "What you said makes sense."
"Okay, second question, what is Fang Zhigu's plan?" Chen Luo asked again.
Fang Zhiwu looked at Chen Luo and said, "Reproduce the way of Fang Sheng!"
"You are also a senior, so there is no point in beating around the bush with me." Chen Luo waved his hand, "What I'm asking is, is that Taiping flower really the Taiping flower? What does Fang Zhigu plan to do next?"
Fang Zhiwu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Peace Flower belongs to Uncle Tianhu. I'm afraid only Fang Zhigu knows about his affairs."
"What he's going to do next..." Fang Zhiwu looked at Chen Luo, his face changed a little, "He never told me, but I guess that he should refine these treasures of enlightenment together with the Small Universe to break through some limits. Like a saint.”
"Others, I really don't know."
Chen Luo nodded and stood up again.
"It wasn't a pleasant chat, but it was okay." Chen Luo smiled and said, "Are you going to go alone, or do you need me to do it?"
Fang Zhiwu glanced towards the north, and then smiled.
"As you said, half-saint, you still have to have the dignity you deserve."
"If you can, bury me here."
After the words fell, a thousand-mile avenue appeared behind Fang Zhiwu. Immediately, the avenue began to collapse rapidly, and Fang Zhiwu's aura gradually declined.
After a while, Fang Zhiwu dropped his arms, as if he had no breath at all.
Until this time, the space behind Chen Luo twisted, and Ling Chuchu pushed Zhu Sheng out of it, just in time to see this scene.
"Teacher!" Chen Luo saluted to Bamboo Sage, then looked at Ling Chuchu and called Second Senior Sister.
"Have you lost your way?" Yu Wuji asked.
"Yes." Chen Luo nodded, "It seems that he has already planned to die, so he can save his life and tell me something for the last time."
"It's an explanation to myself, a reminder..."
Bamboo Sage didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Fang Zhiru was found over there."
"Su Ziyou and Su Poxian gave chase."
Chen Luo nodded: "That should be no problem."
…
North, void.
Fang Zhiru looked at Su Ziyou and Su Poxian who were blocking him, with a gloomy look on his face.
Su Poxian scratched his itch and said, "Do you really think no one cares about you?"
"Let's go!"
Su Ziyou didn't talk as much as Su Poxian, so he took action directly. At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded.
"Big Su Sheng, little Su Sheng, you are also brothers, you should understand the affection of brothers." After the words fell, Fang Zhigu appeared in the void.
Fang Zhigu bowed to Su Ziyou and Su Poxian and said, "Please show your noble hands and let me take my brother away."
Su Poxian rolled his eyes at the other party and said with a smile: "Oh, there is an unexpected gain."
"If you want to stay with your brothers, it's not a big problem."
"Come with us!"
"I'm sorry to have to obey you." Fang Zhigu shook his head.
"It's not up to you. Ziyou!" Su Poxian shouted, and then he grabbed Fang Zhigu, and Su Ziyou also directly attacked Fang Zhiru.
"There is a blue lotus in ten thousand years, and behind it is Po Immortal!" Fang Zhigu faced Su Po Immortal who was coming towards him. He flipped his wrist and a golden yellow, somewhat soft short stick appeared in his hand, pointing towards Su Po Immortal. He whipped it hard.
An unspeakable and domineering aura filled the air, directly covering Su Poxian, making Su Poxian feel that the operation of his little universe was somewhat stagnant.
At the same time, Su Ziyou also noticed the situation on Su Poxian's side. Just when he turned around, he saw the golden short stick hitting Su Poxian, and Su Poxian was knocked out of the void.
"Brother!" Su Ziyou's expression changed, and he also grabbed Fang Zhigu. Fang Zhigu used his backhand with another stick, and pulled Su Ziyou out of the void again.
After doing this, Fang Zhigu put away the golden short stick and looked at Fang Zhiru: "Let's go."
Fang Zhiru nodded blankly, and then thought of something else: "Eldest brother, and second brother..."
"Alas..." Fang Zhigu shook his head, "He has died as a saint."
After saying that, Fang Zhigu waved his hand, rolled up Fang Zhiru, and quickly disappeared into the void.
…
In a valley, Su Poxian wailed, stood up from the pit, and looked at another pit. It was Su Ziyou who was lying in it.
Su Ziyou was lying in the pit, obviously seriously injured, but he looked at Su Poxian and still asked: "Brother, are you okay?"
"There are some cracks in the avenue." Su Poxian jumped down and helped Su Ziyou up, "What about you?"
"The avenue has collapsed a bit." Su Ziyou sighed, "When did Fang Zhigu become so powerful?"
"It's not him!" Su Poxian shook his head and looked into the void, "It's the short stick in his hand."
"It seems to be a condensed version of Fang Sheng's artistic conception."
"pure."
"Fang Zhiru..." Su Ziyou sighed, "Let him escape."
Su Poxian shook his head: "When the time comes, I will tell you that I asked Fang Zhigu to take Fang Zhiru away to save you."
Su Ziyou: (((?Д?)))
Listen, are you talking like a brother?
It's obvious that I'm saving you!
Why are you so inappropriate?
Su Ziyou took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay!"
