Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 57 57. The Vanishing Ancestor (4.3k)

In the mighty sky, the big monster flapped its wings to cover the sky and block out the sun.

It looked down, and the scene at the gate of the giant city, especially the young man on the black horse, was deeply reflected in his mind.

With a long cry, he swooped into the range of the royal court, and the huge shadow gradually shrank, almost the same as ordinary people except for the terrible spiritual veins flowing on the iron-like feathers.This is a monster like a beast, with unusually powerful combat power, practitioners usually avoid it.What's more, this big monster is raised by Wang Ting, and it is one of the symbols of eagles and snakes embossed in Wang Ting, and the blood of Dapeng flows in its blood.Legend has it that when it grows to a terrible level, it will be close to its ancestors, and its whole body will be covered with golden feathers.It can wrap its wings around the sky, and its claws can smash the sky.

But the big monster didn't notice that the young man on the ground raised his head, and his eyes fell on the direction it left, with dark pupils and deep eyes.

The miniaturized divine bird flew over rows of attics, and finally arrived at the roof of the tower in the center of the royal court, and landed firmly on the man's horizontal arm.

"Thank you, Jin Mei."

"It's nothing." The divine bird known as Jin Mei shook his head, "But why do you trust that young man so much? That horse demon is stronger than a human, and it takes a day to cross the desert. I can't even chase after him with that speed. easy."

"Yes, look at my memory." The man patted his head angrily.

"You were sent out shortly after you returned to the royal court, and I haven't had time to tell you about the young man."

While smoothing the feathers of the divine bird, the man told him the information he had secretly collected.

"The young man with the sword, accompanied by the black horse, walks the earth and kills the sun god." Hearing the end, Shenqin whispered.

"And, he's after something." The man said, "It's the same as us."

"The same as us? Will it be the same as us?" Shenqin's voice was sharp, "What will happen in this world is so secret that my ancestors kept it secret, and only those ancient ancestors are qualified to know. But he is looking for it? Is it really a young emperor as the rumors say?"

"Without a spiritual vein, he was a mortal ten years ago and worked as a servant in the Zhu family in Moru City in Xiaoyongzhou. So he can't be an emperor, and he can't have a terrible background. That's why I wonder why he knew about it. Even..." The man paused, watching the last ray of brilliance disappear from the sky, and the desert was silent and plunged into boundless darkness.

"He confirmed it was going to happen and he didn't shy away from it."

This matter is also like the coming of darkness, but now it is still dusk in Kyushu.

"Your Highness, the guests have entered the palace." The attendant bowed to pass the message.

"I know, I'll go see him."

The man turned around, and then strode away from the tower roof facing the glazed lights in the attic.Shen Qin firmly grasped his shoulders, walking side by side like two bloody demon gods.

…………

The main hall of the royal court.

The pipa presses the flute, and the beauty presses the pipa.The sleeves and skirts are like clouds, matching the cold moon on the edge of the desert.

The women in tulle have cut eyebrows and eyes, and their clothes outline seductive curves, and they serve delicacies in two or three lines.

The white tulle and bronzed skin create a strong visual impact.They are the trump card of royal court diplomacy. Anyone who sits in this position will be fascinated by the rare exotic style, so many things are discussed between beauties and wine, and the process is much easier than outsiders imagined.

But this time the beauties did not welcome a special envoy or dignitaries from a certain country, but a young man who sat at the only guest seat in the entire hall.

The wind and dust are full of dust, and there are sand and stones falling from his drinking movements in the cracks of the yellowed clothes.

The only guests are admiring the reliefs in the hall.

The dome is a circular arc, painted with a rising Buddha, and down there are four main load-bearing columns, carved with floating clouds.This is not the point, the most conspicuous thing about this hall has never been wine or beauties in Li Xi'an's eyes, but the two huge stone sculptures behind the throne opposite him, the height of which touches the dome of the hall, one has a human body and a bird's face, the wings are specially inlaid with gold, the other He held a multi-toothed sword above his head, as if he would slash it down at the next moment; the other had a snake-like face, with scales on his face, and his pupils were carved with rare emeralds.

"This is Garuda and Anandalong, our ancestors." A loud voice resounded from a high place.

Li Xi'an withdrew his gaze from looking at the relief, and turned to the source of the sound.

He was a tall man with deep eye sockets, a straight nose, and a head resting on his shoulders.Li Xi'an noticed that the man's eye pupils were beautiful emerald green, similar to the statue with a human body and a snake face, and the edges of the divine bird feathers on his shoulders showed a golden texture, which should be the descendants of the statue with a human body and a bird face on the other side.

He strode over and sat down opposite Li Xi'an.

Glancing at the almost untouched delicacies in front of Li Xi'an's table, he raised his hand to disperse all the attendants in the hall. Those beauties acted swiftly after taking orders, not at all like the skills that ordinary women should have.Compared with the maid, it is more accurate to say that it is a poisonous snake in the skin of a beauty carefully cultivated by Wang Ting.I just don't know what kind of expressions the envoys who were sitting in the hall looking for fun in the past knew that they were reckless in the snake's den.

"It seems that your Excellency is not a person who likes to enjoy pleasure, so we will get straight to the point."

The man sat on the opposite table with his upper body straight.His muscles are tense, this is not the insignificant thing that he talked about in the past, so his nerves are highly concentrated, and the highly concentrated signal is transmitted to the body to drive the muscles and bones of the whole body, so that his breath at this moment carries a weak spirit.These are the characteristics of high concentration. Even if he is to fight with his life in the next moment, this man can still show [-] points of strength.

"Your Excellency is looking for something, about the future of Kyushu, right?" His teeth chattered slightly.

"Kyushu is about to fall, and I'm looking for the reason." Contrary to the man's state, Li Xi'an was very calm, and his whole body was soothing.

The emerald green pupils shrank sharply.

"You...really know about this." The Lord of the royal court spat out these words with all his strength.

"I know."

"Ten years of journey, you are the only one who mentioned this matter to me. But you are not much better than those old monsters of the sect. They are ignorant, but you know, why?" Li Xi'an raised his eyes, not knowing what to do From time to time there is a little gold.

"Our ancestors are still alive, and they are still standing in the world. They returned to their homeland for the last time and revealed it to us. The supreme beings of Kyushu are working to cut down from Kyushu to create a small world. The selected ones are all indomitable The orthodoxy. I have heard of some of the lists, and those ancestors of the orthodoxy are unshakable in the Realm of True Oneness, and they will not fall down."

"Where did your ancestors go?"

"I don't know." There was some bitterness in the man's words, "They said they were going to fight. Although this world is about to fall, they still have to fight for it. The ancestors took the oath and vowed never to leave. A drop of blood."

"So there are no ancestors in this world, and those above the ancestors are even gone. It is easy to understand that the Supremes have opened up a small world to preserve the fire for Kyushu. The vision of the Supremes will not be wrong. If one day Kyushu can rise again, they He will be the guide of Xintiandi."

The guide of Xintiandi?
Li Xi'an thought of those ancient monks that Kunlun had encountered. Deep in his heart, he was distorted and ferocious, and regarded human life as worthless. Can this kind of thing be chosen by the Supreme Being as the guide of the next era?

But as the men say, the Supremes can't go wrong.

For beings like the Queen Mother of the West, it's hard to imagine that they can't see people's hearts clearly.

"Have you ever heard of the name of an ancestor?"

"Please say."

"Bamboo Basket Collecting Souls, Venerable Master, have you ever heard of it?"

"It is rare in the Realm of True One to stand at the top. His orthodoxy is one of the orthodoxy chosen by the Supreme. I have the impression, no, it should be said that I can't forget it at all. Our ancestors once went to find this master to persuade him with good words. .”

"Persuade him to stay?"

"Persuade him to leave."

"Master Zhulan Caihun is a generation of great benevolence. Not only is his Taoism penetrating heaven and earth, but his character is unquestionable. He wants to make an oath with our ancestors and go to war. It was our ancestors who persuaded him, and even the Kunlun bit shadow."

Queen Mother of the West... Li Xi'an fell silent.The deeper he asked, the more frightened he became.The small world cut down in Kyushu is based on orthodoxy, and the selected orthodoxy is all of the best in character and practice.But he has experienced rising, fighting against the incarnation of Master Chuhun in the bamboo basket at the altar, and encountering ancient monks full of greed and contempt in Kunlun.This makes him believe that the ancestors of Kyushu Taoism are all great existences that stand upright.

"Your Excellency?" the man called softly, waking Li Xi'an out of his contemplation.

"We have always hoped to help those great beings. They are too proud, and at the same time care too much about the sentient beings in the Nine Regions, and they are unwilling to tell them about the coming twilight. Just like our ancestors, they want to block all foreign enemies for this world. There is no need to forcibly lift up this world with the means of the Supremes, they have better choices, the star sea is so vast, how can there be no residence for the Supremes? But they are unwilling, proud and stubborn."

"So in Kyushu now, the ancestors don't exist?"

"No."

The man wanted to speak several times, but the words finally stopped in his throat.

"But it doesn't matter."

"What kind of existence are you...?"

"Just asking this?"

"That's all we know, and I'm willing to do my best for you. Your thinking is correct, and if you want to know more, there is no more suitable place in the world than Kunlun."

"Turning around and coming back again." Li Xi'an sighed softly.

"what?"

"Nothing, thank you Your Highness for letting me know."

"We are the ones who should thank you. You walked the earth for this world, but we can only stay in the royal court, and we can't even help our ancestors."

"The living beings of the Nine Provinces are living beings, aren't the people of His Highness one of the thousands of beings in the Nine Provinces?" Li Xi'an said.

The young man put on his hat again, raised his sword, and stood up.

"Farewell Your Highness."

The man raised his hand and wanted to hold back for a moment, but found that there was nothing to hold back. The other party was a traveler who walked the earth, an inquirer who was looking for Kyushu.It is already a great honor for him to keep this person in the royal court.

"Farewell!" He said in a deep voice.

He and the divine bird on his shoulders watched Li Xi'an leave, and watched the young man with the sword gradually recede under the glazed light, which seemed to put a radiant sleeve on him.

After stepping on the black horse, the young man finally turned his head and said goodbye.

In that glimpse is the golden candlelight, covering the lights, the cold moon and the noise of the world.There was a "buzz" in the man's mind like a sledgehammer.There was a noun that couldn't stop popping out of his mouth, but it was clear that he didn't know the meaning of this noun, and he never thought that the young people who had left could be associated with this noun.

"Extreme...respect!"

"What did you say?" The divine bird on his shoulder had doubts. In its impression, the Lord of the royal court would not say that magnificent and ancient term without reason.

Finally, the man still followed his heart and growled out, slamming every word.

Shen Qin heard it clearly.

"He is supreme!"

…………

It took Li Xi'an 50 years to go to Kunlun.

The horse demon was quite energetic, but Li Xi'an looked down at his withered fingers.

He is old.

Fortunately, he can hold the faint sword.

The unfavorable person will never be able to find the lotus in his life. The blue bird once told him to listen, but now he has become the unfavorable person.

"Will the demon god grow old too?" The horse demon gesticulated beside him.

"No, the demon god will grow old, but how come he looks like a mortal, after 50 years he has become like this."

Such a face, what kind of face?Li Xi'an lifted the faint sword in his hand, the blade reflected an old man's face, with gray hair and skin as withered and yellow as a rotten tree branch.

This body is more than 70 years old.

Without cultivating spiritual veins, a mortal can live past 70 years, which can be regarded as a long life.

"Do you want to continue?" Seeing that the old man was still walking into the depths of Kunlun, the horse demon couldn't help but make a sound.This journey should not continue, even if Li Xi'an is still strong, it should not continue.It watched the man grow old.The young man who killed the Yang God and the Demon King in the past has become an old man who will not be able to walk.

This kind of supernatural power will be brought into the grave with Li Xi'an.

Ahead, the old man stopped.

"Finally figured it out?" The horse demon was overjoyed, thinking that this is right, you are going to die and care about this world, why not enjoy a lifetime with this supernatural power.Wherever you are not regarded as a guest of honor, you have to go to Kunlun to find it, and it will take 50 years to find it.For a cultivator, 50 years flies by, but for a monk in the Yangshen Realm, his lifespan is more than a thousand years.

But Li Xi'an didn't seem to lie to it.

He's just mortal.

If you figured it out, go back to the world and find a little guy to pass on one and a half moves, and pass on the mighty power of the demon god, and it will continue to be its coolie.It's fine, it's none of their business what Kyushu is doing.

"Huh? The fragrance is even more fragrant than the spiritual grass you gave me!" The horse demon was shocked.

It smelled a strange fragrance, and the warm fragrance of the trembling soul poured into his nostrils and flowed through its limbs, like being soaked in hot springs all over its body.

What makes it so fragrant?The horse demon stretched its neck, greedily sniffing the fragrance in the air, looking for the source.

"Hey, do you think we have found the Kunlun elixir? When we get it, if you eat it, even a mortal can prolong his life for a hundred years, and I can enjoy another hundred years of blessings."

The horse demon poked his head while talking, and finally his eyes fell on Li Xi'an who stopped in front of him.

The source of the fragrance is the white lotus flower held in the old man's hand.

The horse demon widened his eyes.

Li Xi'an smiled, the smile that used to be warm is now called kind.

He ate a lotus petal, then looked up to watch the long golden thread of the cloud spread until it landed in front of him.

Ladder.

The more powerful the creature needs, the stronger the token is. He is just an ordinary person, and eating one piece is just enough.However, the rest cannot be used as tokens, but it is still a rare panacea in the world.Li Xi'an placed the remaining white lotus in front of the horse demon.

"Don't wait for me. This lotus is enough to improve your aptitude. It's not impossible to practice to become a great demon king. Instead of following me, it's better to venture into this world yourself. There are always people standing in front of you. The good scenery is to see not reach."

"I'm a horse! What's wrong with being ridden by someone?" The horse demon was furious, it gestured its hooves, wishing to stuff all the lotus flowers on the ground into Li Xi'an's mouth.

"No, you are a demon."

Without looking at the horse demon's expression, Li Xi'an stepped onto the ladder.

Golden ripples rippling between the sky and the earth, splashing the floating clouds and mountains.

The horse demon sat there annoyed with him, hugging his front hooves, turning his horse's head aside, not even looking at the white lotus on the ground.
