It was obviously damaged after a tragic battle just now, but it looked decayed and old, as if it had been abandoned for hundreds of years. There is a lot of dust and spider webs on the broken eaves and broken walls...
I know that this may be because the [Coffin God Village] created by the devil Cao Sen is both real and illusory, it seems virtual and real, and it is the prototype of the cave. The shape of this village is probably related to Cao Sen himself.
Now that the devil is gone, the entire [Coffin God Village] will naturally weather and decay, looking like it has been abandoned for hundreds of years.
On the ground, you can still find some "humanoid" black ash piles from time to time, which are probably the remains of the destroyed zombies.
Although Madoka, this idiot, had already taken the healing elixir, she didn't dare to be arrogant at this time, and squatted down on my shoulder to rest.
Soon, Madoka and I spotted two people and a dog.
They sat in a clearing surrounded by rubble, covered in wounds and weak in breath.
"Brother Li, Brother Zhang, Xiao Heizi!"
I trotted over and arrived in front of them.
Li Miao originally closed his eyes to rest, but when he opened his eyes and saw my relaxed expression, he smiled.
"Looking at Brother Wu, things should be resolved smoothly."
I nodded.
"That's right, Lao Cao successfully killed the devil, which can be regarded as ending the fate of the Cao family for more than 800 years."
Li Miao's eyes fell on Lao Cao who was being held by me, and he frowned slightly.
"Is Lao Cao okay?"
I sighed softly.
"The injury was very serious, but his life was saved. I think he will have to rest at home for a long time."
I looked at Zhang Hui.
"Brother Zhang, this is a private matter of the Cao family. Naturally, my friends and I should go through fire and water for Lao Cao. But I accidentally got you involved. I'm very sorry. Thank you for your hard work."
Although his breath was weak, he still spoke seriously at this time.
"Brother Wu, what are you talking about? It is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of decent monks like us to subjugate demons. No matter what the origin of the devil is, as long as he harms the world, we, the disciples of Longhu Mountain, should work hard and fight with all our might. Please kill the devil."
It has to be said that although the disciples of famous sects are sometimes "pedantic and rigid" and quite arrogant, the true disciples of the inner sect like Zhang Hui are basically "righteous and worthy of justice".
I didn’t say anything more and gave him a Taoist hand salute.
As for Heizi...
The poor big black dog was lying on his side next to Li Miao, with his belly exposed. When he saw me, he wagged his tail feebly.
I squatted down and stroked its head.
"Xiao Heizi, go back and buy you ten pounds of good ribs to eat. I will never break my promise!"
"Woof..."
Kuroko's eyes suddenly lit up, and a stream of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
We couldn't help but laugh.
Although this battle was brutal, no one died. The atmosphere relaxed!
I gave the elixir to two of them and one dog to take, first to roughly repair the physical damage. Then he was ready to leave this abandoned village.
Before leaving, Zhang Hui asked me if I needed to use Taoist talisman fire to burn this place again?
I said don't bother.
Because the entire [Coffin God Village] is a prototype of the cave that evolved based on Cao Sen's own power, and also has the structure of a large array. He is both the "starting point" of the village and the "eye of the array."
As soon as Cao Sen died, this place immediately died and decayed, and the cave sky collapsed. As seen at this moment, the village that was prosperous not long ago seemed to have been abandoned for hundreds of years.
Zhang Hui was astonished when he heard this.
"The devil is indeed extremely talented... This kind of method can create this kind of method that uses itself as the foundation to evolve the cave, and can even change with his movement. It is simply unbelievable! When I was in the sect, I liked to read ancient classics. I have never seen such a mysterious method. Even my ancestors in Longhu Mountain have few enemies. Unfortunately, he has an evil mind and is an evil demon. If he is an upright monk, he will definitely be a blessing to the cultivation world."
Um?
I was slightly startled.
Then asked Zhang Hui.
"You mean... in all the classics handed down in Longhu Mountain, you haven't seen this kind of person who evolved into the cave world by himself? Do you even think that even if Yigui Sect Longhu Mountain, the [Taoist Ancestral Court], [Wanmen Ancestral Court] With the status of "The Source of Lu", this kind of talent is also rare."
Zhang Hui was also a little confused by my sudden question, but he still nodded.
"Yes! At least I have never heard of it in the classics that I have permission to read. And this kind of talent... It may not be appropriate to say, although Brother Wu, your talent has been rare in ancient times, and it makes me amazed and shocked. But I'm afraid That demon is even better. After all, this is the Cave Heaven! Even if it is just a relatively rudimentary prototype. Under normal circumstances, building a Cave Heaven would consume countless resources and time."
No, no!
I shook my head.
"Cao Sen's cultivation talent cannot be higher than mine."
Although this sounds a bit arrogant and arrogant, it is also true.
The so-called cultivating the Tao means cultivating the Tao and having a clear mind. Don't be too conceited, but don't belittle yourself either.
Being accepted as a disciple by Master back then had already proven my talent.
In the Age of Dharma Ending, when one has reached such a rapid level of cultivation, in addition to the rapid progress brought about by a large number of life and death battles, one's innate understanding is naturally also important.
According to what Lao Cao said, although Cao Sen is the most talented person in the Cao family for more than 800 years, he should not be able to compare with me.
What's more, even if they are not compared to me, as Zhang Hui said, I have never seen such an amazingly talented person or a similar method in the spiritual books circulated in Longhu Mountain!
Otherwise, Cao Sen would not be the "fateful evil" of the Cao family, but the "fateful harm" of the whole world.
It was impossible for Cao Lin and Cao Yunfeng to almost kill him.
The reason why I didn't realize the "logical error" in this just now was because I focused all my energy on listening to Lao Cao talk about the grudge between the Cao family and the devil, and the upcoming life and death battle. It’s also because I’m not a disciple of a major Taoist sect, nor have I ever seen, entered, or truly understood such a special creation as [Dongtian].
Of course he has never seen Lao Cao!
As for all the information about Cao Sen, I heard it from Lao Cao.
Therefore, it is very likely that both Lao Cao and I have greatly underestimated the difficulty of building [Dongtian]!
The so-called "ignorant people are fearless" is this truth.
Because you don’t really know how difficult it is to do something, you will underestimate it.
Of course, it may also be that some details of the zodiac signs have been distorted during the Cao family's inheritance for more than 800 years...
As for Zhang Hui, he was actually just a passer-by, and he didn’t have a full picture of the causes and consequences.
My mind was racing, and a lot of information and details were flashing through my mind.
Then, it seemed as if he was talking to himself as well as talking to Li Miao and Zhang Hui.
"Is this movable cave prototype of [Coffin God Village] not a magical method created by the devil himself? Instead, it relies on a certain [medium] to succeed. Just like the owner of a house, the house may not necessarily belong to him. Starting from laying the base, he built it brick by brick with his own hands. Or maybe the house already existed, and he was just a person who lived in it and then decorated it?"
My voice suddenly rose and I slapped my thigh.
"There may be something wrong here! Although the devil is dead, I may have overlooked something!"
Madoka, who was sitting on my shoulder, was startled and sounded dissatisfied.
"Wu boy, why are you shouting so loudly all of a sudden? I almost got scared and fell down."
Li Miao and Zhang Hui also looked at me. Heizi had no sense of participation anyway.
I muttered to myself.
"Let's not leave yet! Let me think about it, let me think about it..."
A lot of information and clues are being combined and spliced in my mind. Finally, a flash of inspiration!
The essence of the cave that Master once talked about with me in a casual conversation, and some so-called "non-human things" connected in my mind.
Master said that if the nature of [Dongtian] and [Little Sara Realm] were explained using the physical knowledge of the scientific community, it would most likely be [space cracks] or [space debris] in other-dimensional spaces or parallel universes. There's a chance that there might be some [dark matter] mixed in.
And there are similar things... mysterious black phantoms!
That's right!
Master also said that she guessed that the [black phantom object] was probably a strange object from another dimension or parallel universe.
Metaphysics and science, in some places, may themselves be the same thing.
It's just that the external manifestations are different.
The so-called three thousand avenues lead to the same destination through different paths!
I couldn't be more excited.
"It's impossible for the devil Cao Sen to have such a talent. He would never be able to create a movable prototype of [Dongtian] on his own! Otherwise, Taoist giants such as Longhushan and Maoshan would have already begun to think of ways to create it. .”
Madoka, the stupid bird, also flapped its wings.
"Yes! What Mr. Wu said makes sense. I also think that the devil is not that powerful."
I spoke urgently.
"There must be some secret in this. He did it with the help of some kind of [medium]... Go find it. Let's go back to the cave and look for the fragments of his body!"
