Chapter 52: The Ballad of the End of the World (1)
Leaving the Jiangnan family, Zhuyue couldn't wait to step on the sword with his younger brother and apprentice to rush back to Jiluo Mountain.
Shui Ling'er and Zhu Xing didn't know what was going on, and they saw him with a solemn face along the way, silent, and seemed to be preoccupied. I was worried about him, but I didn't know where to ask.
The way back was not as easy and fun as when she came, and Shui Ling'er began to quietly hope that she was an adult now, maybe then the master would be able to tell him about the troubles in her heart.
Finally, Jiluo Mountain is in sight, and this day's journey is like walking for Zhuyue for ten years. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already dark, and he asked Zhuxing to take Shui Ling'er to have a good rest, and he went straight to the Ethereal Hall of True Dragon Peak non-stop.
The entire True Dragon Peak was shrouded in the gradually thickening moonlight, and the atmosphere was still the same. Looking up at the sky, the moon shadows are like shuttles, and the stars are twinkling quietly like jewels. In the distance, there was the roar of the glazed dazzling waterfall flowing down, and the feeling of grass and everything gave him was so familiar and cordial.
But when you enter the ethereal hall, you can faintly notice a slight abnormality. There was no longer a single guard of the spirit boy soldiers, only candlelight, swaying lonely in the gusting night wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time.
Xi Mutong sat cross-legged in the middle of the hall, his eyes closed, like a snow sculpture. If it weren't for the occasional breeze blowing on the hem of her white dress, I really wouldn't have felt that there was a living breath on her.
Zhuyue walked over slowly, silently. He stood quietly for a long time before she opened her eyes.
"Zhuyue, are you back?"
"Yes, Auntie. ”
"Was it okay all the way?" she said, as if nothing had happened.
Zhuyue couldn't help it for a while, and her voice raised slightly, "Auntie, you ......"
Xi Mutong raised his hand to signal him not to continue, put his leg off the futon, slowly walked to the corner of the house, and reached out to add a little cicada incense to the incense burner.
"You're fine, your life pattern in the Nine Palaces Vortex Chart has been changed, now check your Seven Star Chart again, it should be working normally. ”
Her tone was so flat that it was as natural and simple as telling him that it was sunny or raining outside the house.
Seeing that Xi Mutong was safe and sound, Zhuyue was actually at ease, but behind this peace of mind, there was another huge sense of crisis. He couldn't tell where this sense of crisis came from, only that he had been suppressed to the point where it was difficult to breathe, and that he might suffocate at any time.
"Auntie, before the Immortal Demon Banquet, you went to the Lancang River to see the Lancang God, and asked him to borrow the blood of the gods to sacrifice the Nine Palaces Spiral Astrolabe and change my life, isn't it?"
Xi Mutong's shoulders shook, turned around and looked at him in a daze and asked, "You know everything?"
Zhuyue said: "Jiang Nanjun has sued me, it was Hengliu Immortal Broken Flute who dispelled the Qilin poison for you." ”
Xi Mutong's expression was as dim as the candlelight blown by the wind.
Seeing this, Zhu Yue exclaimed: "Could it be that he ...... stay in the immortal?"
Xi Mutong was silent, he already understood most of it in his heart, and his throat suddenly tightened.
Xi Mutong said: "I believe that if Tong Guò absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and aura in the true jade coffin, the broken flute will definitely wake up soon." And right now, I have something very important to do. ”
Zhuyue was again in a daze, and asked suspiciously, "What is this important thing that my aunt is referring to?"
Xi Mutong's face was calm, and he said, "Zhuyue, your seven-star horoscope has just been reversed, and it is not appropriate to act rashly at the moment, otherwise you may lose all your efforts." You're tired today, so go back to the Floating Life Hall to rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Zhuyue shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Auntie, since I was reborn as a Bamboo Leaf Elf, Zhuxing and I have been living with you. Zhuyue's person, my aunt must know best, how can she be the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and disregard the common people in the world in order to avoid the rebellion of the fate plate?"
Xi Mutong heard the change of color, stared at him and asked, "You, what do you want to say?"
He pondered for a moment, and his tone was resolute, "Auntie, don't hide it from me anymore, the destruction of the demon baby is just a lie of the gods and demons, there are gods and demons in this world at all, and some of them are seeking an opportunity to make a comeback to fight for the power of the Six Realms, right?"
When Xi Mutong heard him say this, his sharp eyes turned light, and he said coldly: "This is also Jiang Nanzi's motive to you?"
Zhuyue hurriedly said: "Auntie, I just speculated about these things from his words, and I just thought about it all day on the way back to Jiluo Mountain from the Jiangnan family. Zhuyue is your apprentice, and the apprentice is Mo Ruoshi, why can't you tell the truth?"
Xi Mutong walked to the window, looked up at the bright moon, and sighed: "That's it, you will know sooner or later, I will sue you." Before the water bell and the fire bell, there had never been any demon baby, and this time was the first life they were reborn. ”
Although Zhuyue already knew that the demon god still existed in the world, he couldn't believe it when he heard that the demon baby was only the first time he had come into the world.
"Where did the rumors of the destruction of the demon baby that are boiling in the world come from?"
"From where it came from. Xi Mutong smiled deeply: "The so-called legend of the Demon Infant who was born to destroy the three clans, according to the information we have, is all from one place, but we can't confirm who is behind the scenes, what is the details and where is hidden. ”
"We?"
"Yes, I, there are also the Five Mountains Remaining Immortals, and in addition, there is the Netherworld Phoenix Nirvana. ”
Zhuyue was even more surprised, "So, even the demon clan has people involved?"
Xi Mutong replied, "When Feng Nie and I knew each other, we were still little girls who didn't understand the world, and we didn't know each other's identities. By the time they got to know each other's identities, they were already sympathetic to each other and no longer cared. Back then, Ji Xuanyuan asked the Netherflame King to borrow the Yuan Bow to harm Chi You, which was a letter from Feng Nie for me, but unfortunately, I was still defeated. ”
Let's talk about lamentation.
