Antiquity

Chapter 76

3000 years and 100 years ago, in the ancient world.

On the cloud platform on the right side of the pilgrimage hall, there is a pool of lotus flowers, stretching for tens of thousands of years, stretching for hundreds of miles, blooming for years, filled with aura, and now it is a rare beauty in the ancient world.

The ancient gods didn't like these flowers and plants, and it was hard to see even a decent decoration in the pilgrimage hall except for a magnificent empty shell. 6 years ago, after the ancient gods brought back Wuhuan of the Feng family, they handed over the pilgrimage hall to her. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the pilgrimage hall has already changed. Many old gods said that the ancient gods around The little girl is more like the owner of this pilgrimage temple.

At this time, on the right cloud platform, a group of noble or mighty gods and gods accompanied by a goddess with outstanding temperament, singing and dancing, was quite lively. Pilgrimage Hall has always been a holy place in the ancient world, and The ancient gods didn't like noise very much. Tens of thousands of years ago, this scene was unimaginable. However, God Wuhuan was deeply favored by the ancient true gods and had a high status. She has held banquets here for thousands of years, and recently she has become A tradition in the ancient world.

"Wu Huan, this is the Phoenix Blood Jade sent by the elders of your clan. I went to play chess with Yunze a few days ago, and he said that this blood jade has been raised by the Phoenix clan for tens of thousands of years, so you should keep it safe. Don't lose it."

Faint orders sounded by the lotus pond, and the banquet was interrupted. Seeing all the gods get up and salute in a hurry, Wu Huan turned his head and saw that the God of Yuqin was standing not far away, and hurriedly got up and walked a few steps , took the Fengqi blood jade in her hand, and said respectfully: "Thank you, God Yuqin, for conveying the message, Wu Huan will definitely keep the blood jade well."

Shangshen Yuqin is a good friend of the ancient true god, even if the ancients dote on her again, she would not dare to put on airs in front of Yuqin.

It takes tens of thousands of years to conceive and raise a piece of Fengqi Blood Jade. It is a treasure of the Phoenix clan and can quickly gather divine power. How strict and rigid he was to her when he was in the clan...

Although Wu Huan's voice was respectful, the slight disdain in the corners of her eyes could not be concealed from God Yuqin. She frowned slightly, and without saying much, she waved her hands casually and said, 'Have fun,' before entering the pilgrimage hall.

Shangshen Yuqin is not as fiery as Shangshen Yuemi, he has always been calm and quiet, so Wu Huan didn't suspect her indifference, only sat down to play again when she saw her go away.

The banquet was reopened, and the goddess Jun envied her in a charming voice: "Shangshen Wuhuan is really a blessing. Not to mention the ancient true gods doting on you, even the old patriarch of Yunze values ​​you so much. You are only 10,000 years old. The power of the gods, unlike us, has been cultivated for [-]+ years before ascending from the lower realms, it is really not even the slightest bit comparable to you, the god king."

Wu Huan was pleased with what he heard, and seeing everyone's admiration, he took a sip from his wine glass: "I just received the blessing of the ancient true god."

"I have been ascending for thousands of years, but I have never seen the face of the ancient true god. I heard that the ancient true god visited the palace recently. Today, the drunken lotus is at its peak in a hundred years. The wine is extraordinarily sweet. Let's offer a cup to the ancient true god to fulfill our wishes?" This goddess has only ascended to the ancient world in these years, and she has never even seen the appearance of the ancient, so she must seize the opportunity to fight more in front of Wu Huan face.

Wu Huan pursed her lips and laughed: "What's the difficulty? I'm going to offer a cup to the True God, and say it's your will, how about it?"

Everyone was overjoyed and praised themselves.

"Everyone wait a moment, I will come as I go."

Holding a pot of drunken lotus wine, Wu Huan got up and headed towards the holy hall, not without feeling complacent in his heart.

Her aptitude in the Phoenix Clan is not very good, she has never been valued by the old patriarchs and elders, and she is often criticized even for her experience, but since the ancient true gods chose her as a mount 6 years ago and brought her into the pilgrimage hall, her Destiny will be turned upside down, and it will never be the same again.

The ancient true god used divine power to sort out her immortal veins, allowing her to be promoted to the upper god in only a thousand years, and even loved her so much that all the gods in the ancient world were courteous to her. She was so honored that she had never dreamed of it before. Yes, for 6 years, remembering the favor of the ancient true god, she devoted herself to taking care of the pilgrimage hall, not daring to make any mistakes. She only hoped that the ancient true god would remember her kindness and love her as much as before, so she was satisfied.

Thinking of this, Wu Huan felt a little excited, holding the jug, and quickened his pace.

The pilgrimage hall is divided into three layers, the outermost is the ancient hall, which will only be opened when the pilgrimage is held once every ten thousand years, the second layer is the place for banquets, and the third layer is the ancient residence after passing through the star picking platform. Except for a few true gods and some senior gods, no one has ever dared to set foot there.

Yuqin bypassed many corridors, saw Shang Gu dressed in commoner clothes, holding a gourd and resting on the star-picking platform, congealed a water formula and threw it at Shang Gu, clear water fell from the top of his head, Shang Gu Wu opened his eyes, blocked it with his hand, looked Xiang Yuqin said angrily: "What's the matter with you? I haven't come back for thousands of years, you should throw a banquet to greet me anyway, why lose your temper at me? But which male god offended you again, you just Tell me, I will plant a moldy tree in front of his house, and keep him unlucky for thousands of years!"

At the end of the conversation, she took a bit of pride, and Yuqin glanced at her: "Fortunately, you often disappear for tens of thousands of years. If those little gods who have just ascended know your virtue, Zhiyang and I will still be together." It’s better to find a piece of cloth and a tree, and it will be settled once and for all, so as not to be ashamed to accompany you.”

"The trees in the ancient world are all spirits, I don't think they dare to hang you?" Shang Gu squinted, ignoring Yuqin's threat, with a sloppy demeanor.

Yuqin didn't come up in one breath, her usual peaceful face wrinkled into a ball, and she said after a while: "Why have you been away for thousands of years, and you still look like this! Forget it, I don't count on it anymore, ancient... don't say anything else in advance , are you too conniving with Wu Huan, I think she is impetuous and not suitable to manage the pilgrimage hall for you."

"How to say?" Shang Gu frowned, a little surprised.When she left the temple thousands of years ago, those old guys in the ancient world liked this girl very much, so she was relieved to hand over the pilgrimage hall to Wu Huan.

"For thousands of years, she has indeed managed the pilgrimage hall in an orderly manner, but I think her temperament is not determined. She has been a bit arrogant these years. After all, she was brought by you from the Phoenix family. I can't say more. You find a time to beat her .”

Yuqin thought for a while, and briefly mentioned that although Wu Huan was a bit arrogant, she also kept to her duty and never deviated from the norm. Besides, she has been dedicated to doing things for the ancients for 6 years, and she really has some credit.

"She is only [-] years old, so she has a naughty temper. Think about it, when I was [-] years old, the entire ancient world was about to be thrown into chaos by me. How about this? Let me talk to her sometime and let her restrain herself." In ancient times, she didn't take it seriously, Wu Huan stayed by her side when she was a little girl, these years the relationship has been extraordinary, and she really treats Wu Huan as one of her own.

"The emperor of the Phoenix clan is about to be born. Back then you were clamoring for a mount, and the ancestor god said that he chose the emperor of the Phoenix clan for you. You have been happy for a long time." It was just a little Wu Huan, Yuqin didn't take it to heart, but thought of another matter and asked suddenly.

In the corridor outside the Star Picking Terrace, Wu Huan stopped in his tracks, gave a sharp pause to the hand holding the flagon, and looked up into the Star Picking Terrace, seeing the eyes of the always cynical ancient gods instantly filled with joy. overflowing.

"Yuqin, there are still more than 3 years left. Soon, I will go to Yunze to guard her before she is born. When she is born, I will bring her back to the pilgrimage hall for Zhiyang and the others to take a good look at." Look."

"Look at your rare appearance." Yu Qin was a little amused, and said: "What about Wu Huan, when the Fire Phoenix is ​​born, you will naturally not need her as your mount, but you want her to return to the Phoenix clan?"

"Then let her go back." Shang Gu squinted his eyes and said carelessly, holding the gourd and squinting the little wine.

Wu Huan looked at the smiling two people in the Star Picking Stage, and walked away quietly.

It wasn't until she walked unconsciously for a long time that she ran madly towards the dense forest outside the pilgrimage hall. The flagon in her hand was casually dropped on the ground, her whole body trembling unconsciously, Hu Huan curled up in a dark corner, looking at the bright and bright outside. The heart of the bright world is cold.

It turned out that she was not the choice of the ancients. When she was in the Phoenix clan, she was selected only because the Phoenix King had not yet come into the world, and the ancient true god just needed a plaything.

6 years of loyalty turned out to be dispensable, but 6 years of gratitude destroyed all her expectations with one sentence.

Wu Huan looked at the star-picking platform, the third highest place in the pilgrimage hall, with a confused look on her face. Is it just because she is an ancient true god who respects the ancient world, so she can be treated like nothing and can be manipulated at will?
She is not reconciled, but only 6 years of honor, how is it enough?She doesn't want to go back to the Feng Clan and be looked down upon by others, she wants to stay in the ancient world and be admired by the gods.

Wu Huan stared at the top of the pilgrimage hall, the last trace of cowardice sank in his eyes, and it was deep.

In the Xingxing Terrace, Yuqin looked at Shanggu in amazement, holding a gourd with a happy expression, and said, "You really want to send Wuhuan back to the Feng clan? Although Yunze treats all clansmen equally, it can't compare to your pilgrimage hall after all. She's a high-spirited..."

"Where did you think, when Wu Huan asked me to help her become a god, I used my divine power to forcibly gather the immortal veins for her, so that she could be promoted to the upper god, but the divine power in her body is impure after all, her body is a phoenix, and in the Phoenix clan If you devote yourself to cultivating on the ancient phoenix tree for a hundred years, the foundation of the gods will be stable, and when you come back in a hundred years, I am such a big pilgrimage hall, can I still not accommodate her?" Shang Gu glanced at Yuqin and said casually.

Yuqin nodded: "That's a truth. Impurity of divine power will affect future cultivation. It's better to solve it earlier."

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and the two of them turned their heads to look outside the platform for picking stars. They saw a young man with delicate features and righteous eyes, walking in with a cup of tea, and they couldn't help but smile.

They, the gods, have devoted themselves to cultivating them for tens of thousands of years, and finally they can see the young people taking charge of themselves.

"Twilight, how have you been going through the millennium?" Shang Gu asked earnestly, sweeping away the playfulness just now.

This young man is a five-clawed golden dragon. After another 300 years, he will be able to return to the lower realm and take charge of one side. She can also breathe a sigh of relief and live up to Father God's hard work on the three realms.

"Back to God, Twilight has learned everything about the lower realms, and can help God at any time." Twilight served the tea with a respectful demeanor, straightened her body and answered with a serious expression, her expression quite nervous.

"Don't worry, there is a lot of aura in the ancient realm. You can stay for a while and go to the lower realm after the divine power is consolidated." The ancient demeanor was gentle, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Yuemi's birthday is coming soon, please send a message to her house for me. , just say that I will be late on the [-]th, so don’t wait for me at the door.”

Twilight seemed to have known about Shang Gu's temper for a long time, but he saluted dryly, responded and withdrew.

"Why, are you willing to go to Yuemi's birthday this year?" Yuqin said, taking a sip of tea.

"At her age, she has held countless birthday banquets. I'm too lazy to mess around with you." Shang Gu snorted: "I heard that she stewed the old turtle that I entrusted the land god to give her last year. Naturally, I will give a big gift this year."

Yuqin's expression froze, she put down the cup in her hand and looked towards Shang Gu with a suspicious expression: "Shang Gu, you didn't come back from the lower realm just for this, did you?"

Shang Gu glared, very serious: "How is that possible!" After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and immediately changed the subject: "How are Zhiyang and the others doing recently?"

"Zhi Yang and Bai Jue were panicked by those newly ascended Goddess Lords, and hid in the temple for retreat. They haven't seen anyone for 200 years. As for Tianqi...you are not here, he will stand guard on the Qiankun Terrace instead of you." .”

The Qiankun Terrace is located in the center of the ancient world, and it was transformed by the divine power after the death of the ancestor god Qingtian. Usually, a true god needs to inject his own divine power into it, so as to keep the ancient world full of spiritual energy and long-lasting prosperity.

"It's really strange that he can stay still with his temperament. I'll go to sleep for a few days, and when Yue Mi's birthday comes, you remember to call me." Shang Gu was a little puzzled, muttered a few words and walked towards the back hall.

Seeing her heartless appearance, Yuqin sighed secretly: "Zhi Gu, you are in debt, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later."

Some things are predestined, if Wu Huan listens to this conversation, maybe the fate of the ancient world will be rewritten.

Or maybe, the destiny is like this, even if it is as strong as the ancients, it is powerless after all.

It's just that 6 years later, everything is a foregone conclusion. What's the use of remembering the truth that was submerged in the flood?

Immortal Heavenly Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

A slightly anxious voice came to her ears, and Wu Huan slowly came back to her senses, seeing Ganoderma lucidum standing next to her with a lot of anxiety, she suddenly came back to her senses, handed the cool green dew to Lingzhi, calmed down, and calmed down. Said: "Change another bowl and feed it for the princess."

Ganoderma lucidum responded, and stepped back respectfully with the bowl in hand, lowering her eyebrows...just like she did back then.

Wu Huanchang let out a long breath, a little surprised that he would suddenly think of the days in the ancient world, those years of worry and carelessness.

She lowered her eyes to look at Jing Zhao who was on the bed, her expression froze slightly, even if it was for Jing Zhao, she couldn't turn her head back, it was Shang Gu who was sorry for her, she was not wrong.

Only by involving both Tian Qi and Bai Jue in the battle between the fairy and the demon can it really affect the ancients. No matter which side she helps, the situation in the three realms will definitely change. Sooner or later, she will have a chance, just like in the past.

It's just... Twilight's support is necessary to make all the immortals obey orders.Wu Huan raised her eyebrows, as if she had made up her mind, she disappeared in Yuyu Palace and headed for Xuantian Palace.

In the desert of His Royal Highness Cang Qiong, Tian Qi looked at the dozens of standing stone statues with a gloomy expression, and turned around to leave after a long time, but was stunned at the moment.

Bai Jue was dressed in a snow-white robe, standing not far from him, his face was slightly pale, and his pupils were dark.

"I thought you no longer remembered that they were buried here. You have been awakened for 3000 years, and you willingly hid in Ziyue Mountain in the demon world, but you have never stepped here."

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you, Bai Jue, what did you say in front of Shang Gu, I think she seems a little suspicious about the past." Tian Qi frowned, and revealed the matter, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly condensed.

"What are you afraid of? Even if the memory of Houchi is restored in ancient times, I will be the only one who hates me. Are you worried that she will remember that you set up the world-destroying blood array back then, and Yuemi and the others died tragically in the lower realm because of exhaustion? Tianqi, you insisted on going your own way back then , don’t you regret it now?”

"What exactly do you want?" Seeing that Bai Jue's voice was faint, Tian Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Bai Jue, a hundred years ago you clearly knew that Houchi was the ancient, why did you destroy Bai Xuan's body and force the ancient gentleman to destroy his own divine veins... …With Gu’s personality, if she knows about this, she will not forgive you even if it is a friendship that has lasted for thousands of years.”

"It doesn't matter, Tianqi, since when did you live so submissively, and you won't forgive if you don't forgive. Do I, Bai Jue, want to live forever under the breath of her under the ancient times?"

There was a thorough coldness in Bai Jue's eyes, Tian Qi looked at him steadily for a while, and walked towards the realm of the sky. The moment he passed by Bai Jue, he stopped in his tracks, and his thin lips curled up mockingly: "Bai Jue, With your appearance, you can fool Wu Huan and Twilight, but you can't fool me. I know..." He turned his head, with a distant expression on his face: "After the ancient times died on the altar, you really wanted to kill me. You and Zhiyang just sealed me in the lower realm for 6 years, it's too cheap for me, isn't it?"

Bai Jue slowly clenched his hands behind his back, his brows and eyes lowered.

"What happened after I was sealed, where did Zhiyang go, and how many secrets did you hide? Are you not afraid that everything will be revealed when the ancient world is opened?"

Bai Jue raised his head abruptly, looked at Tian Qi, his dark pupils flashed blood red extremely quickly: "Tian Qi, don't be troublesome, I could seal you once before, and I can do the same now!"

"Although you are casted by immortal power, we are both true gods. If Zhiyang hadn't helped you back then, how could you have captured me?" Tian Qi sneered, with a look of disdain.

"If it wasn't for Zhiyang, I would never have spared your life back then. Tianqi, you almost destroyed the entire Three Realms because of your own selfishness. Don't you regret it at all?"

"So what if I destroy the Three Realms? I will never regret what I do next. Bai Jue, aren't you now also intervening in the battle between immortals and demons, causing the lives of the lower realms to be destroyed? What right do you have to say about me? The creatures of the lower realms are nothing to me. Ants, it was like this at the beginning, and it is still the same today.”

Tian Qi frowned evilly, said coldly, and disappeared into the desert.

Bai Jue's face was slightly pale, and he looked up into the air, his expression difficult to discern.

In the middle of the night, Shang Gu coaxed A Qi to sleep, then got up and went to Bai Jue's room, passed the courtyard, saw the fire shining there, it was very lively, so he moved forward to have a look.

In the courtyard, two piles of bonfires were being lit, with a thick wooden frame at both ends, and a miniature fire dragon wrapped around its four claws was hung upside down on the bonfires, its big eyes were terrified, and the guards and maidservants in the hall were silent. Standing still, looking at the corner of the courtyard in fear.

Shang Gu approached, only to see Tian Qi reclined on the jade slum in the corner, eyes slightly closed, and San Huo pretending to beg for mercy towards him.

"Apocalypse God, the little demon doesn't dare anymore, you have a lot of adults..." Sanhuo groaned and softened, and when he saw the appearance of the ancient, he moved his claws and said happily: "The ancient god, you have to replace Sanhuo!" The fire is in charge, this month we will serve you with all our heart, and we will not neglect you at all!"

How did he know that wearing a robe at the beginning would provoke the wrath of the true God of Tianqi? Today, this old face is definitely lost.

This scene was really funny. Shang Gu squinted his eyes and endured for a long time before making himself more dignified: "I did my best, but I was too thoughtful." Then he waved his hands, turned and left.

Sanhuo's supernatural power, mere flames, how can he hurt him half a point, it must be seeing that Tianqi has anger in his heart, and this clever fire dragon is begging for mercy on purpose.

"The ancients said it well, Sanhuo, I have never seen such a courageous demigod who dares to intervene in our affairs, come down early tomorrow morning." Xu Tianqi was tired from playing, and said lazily, getting up and facing the back hall and go.

Three fires and one joy, thinking that it will pass after closing the eyes for one night, it seems that the temperament of the true God of Tianqi is not as bad as in the legend.Unexpectedly, before this idea was realized, a ray of purple light came from Tian Qi's hand and landed on the flame. The flame instantly turned into a deep purple, and there was a "hissing" sound on the three fire skins, and the scorched aroma spread in the courtyard.

True God Fire?Sanhuo's heart trembled, and he hurriedly gathered all the divine power in his body, but he could still feel a burst of scorching heat invading his body.

Lifting his head, he saw that Tian Qi had gone far away, his figure was idle, and San Huo was tearful, gnashing his teeth and cursing inwardly.

Ge Laozi's!True God of Apocalypse, this is boring in his mouth, he wants to eat raw roasted dragon meat!

Houchi lived in the realm of the sky for a month, and this was the first time he came to Bai Jue's room. There was no one in the room, so the maid was asked to leave, and Shanggu walked in, sat at the table casually, and with her temperament, waited. The time for a cup of tea is already the limit, and after losing patience, he simply went around to the inner room to look through the ancient books collected by Bai Jue.

He raised his eyes and saw an ink cartridge was placed on the shelf, he opened it out of curiosity for a moment, and his expression froze slowly.

The ink-colored stone chain, glowing with soft luster, lies silently and peacefully in the ink cartridge.

A sense of despair and desolation went straight to her heart, deep and intense, and the blue figure flashed in her mind, making her hand holding the ink cartridge tremble, and her face turned pale.

Like the previous few times, it was an emotion that didn't belong to her at all.

Shang Gu lifted up his sleeves, and on his wrist with criss-crossing knife marks, black stone chains were imprinted in his eyes, and he felt a hot feeling that penetrated into his bones.

When she woke up, she asked Tianqi about the origin of this stone chain, and he said that it was a gift from the ancient king, Shangshen, to Houchi.

But how could Bai Jue have...

Houchi, Qingmu, Jing Zhao... Shang Gu lowered his eyes, closed the ink cartridge, and the corners of his brows condensed slightly.

It's time for her to figure out what happened before Chi fell asleep around 100 years ago.

Shang Gu walked out of the room, and Xian'e, who was waiting at the side, hurriedly greeted him.

"Where is Bai Jue?" The voice was cold and majestic, the eyes of the ancients lost all laziness, and there was a solemn expression.

Xian'e who was questioned was startled, and hurriedly replied: "Shen Jun went to take a bath in the Yuhua Pond of the side hall, but has not returned yet."

The ancient brows did not move, he turned and walked towards the side hall, the stone chain in his hand was scorching hot.

Looking from a distance, she was dressed in a black robe, which was particularly cold.

At the same time, clear footsteps sounded in the quiet Xuantian Hall, and the figure sitting on the throne slowly raised his head, looking at the Tianhou who was slowly walking in, with a complicated and gloomy expression.

"Twilight, the fairy demon is about to fight, what are you doing hiding in Xuantian Palace?" Twilight's expression was decadent, completely different from half a month ago, Wu Huan hadn't seen him for half a month, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Xuantian Hall was silent for a while, Twilight quietly looked at Wu Huan in the hall, and sighed softly.

He thought that Wu Huan had always been an arrogant and loyal goddess who protected her lord tens of thousands of years ago, but he didn't expect that in these years, he had never seen clearly what kind of heart the person next to his pillow had.

He quietly raised his eyes, his voice was extremely soft, beating in his heart like a heavy drum.

"Wu Huan, when the calamity of chaos came and the ancient true god fell, what did you do?"

"I'm only asking you this time. If you tell the truth, no matter how bad the truth is, I don't blame you."

The Emperor of Heaven stood up from the throne and walked towards Wu Huan, step by step, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

A generation of kings actually feels twilight.

The secret that had been covered up for tens of thousands of years was suddenly revealed, and that person was her greatest reliance now. Looking at Twilight's cold and disappointed eyes, Wu Huan felt cold all over her body, and in a daze, she seemed to have returned to the past 6 years. The moment on the stage before picking stars.

With a flick of a finger and a light smile, that person can dominate her fate and ruin all her hard work.

For 6 years, she thought she had escaped, only to find out...

All illusions shattered, she was just deceiving herself... that's all.
