Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Sunday

The dim red light flickered.Although Xiangsi closed her eyes, she could still feel the rapid changes in the light in the tunnel.Like a giant bird with its wings spread, it passed by silently.She subconsciously closed her eyes even tighter, not wanting and not daring to guess that the hell under these lights and shadows was in disguise. Dijia slowed down and said: "We are getting closer and closer to the holy spring." Xiangsi was a little surprised, since the holy spring was sealed by the Ten Thousand Years of Black Ice, why now she didn't feel a trace of cold, instead there was an inexplicable hotness?

Dijia seemed to see through her mind, and said: "Because this is where the source of life between heaven and earth is located. Huge forces intertwine, the earth's veins flow out, and the heat of the earth's core reflects here. Many coincidences, the holy spring was frozen from the center. An extremely tiny gap was melted, allowing Sun Yao to live in it, and the gap is still surrounded by ice that cannot be opened." Xiangsi turned her head slightly, as if she suddenly remembered something: "Since the ice of the holy spring can only be opened by Shiva's arrow, how did the sun enter?"

Dijia continued to lead her forward, cast his eyes on the layers of ice all around, and said leisurely: "Because Riyao has indeed found a way to open the ice." Xiangsi asked in surprise, "Did she get Shiva's arrow?" "Indeed." Di Jia said: "One of Shiva's arrows was left behind in the battle of the Three Linked Cities. The divine arrow was split in two, and one half was cast as one of the four heavenly orders, and the other half was In ancient times, a swordsmith got it and cast it into a sharp sword. Later, it disappeared without a trace. Until three years ago, by chance, it was re-condensed into an arrow, regained its divine power, and was finally obtained by Sun Yao. "

Xiangsi was a little suspicious: "Three years ago... you mean, Ri Yao didn't always live in the fifth holy spring?" Dijia smiled and said: "It's not true. Although she got the divine arrow, I was the one who opened the seal with the power of Shiva." Before the Queen Mother of the West returned to the heaven, she left behind three blue birds in the world—Sun Yao, Yue Que, and Xing Lian.Among them, Sun Yao is the most powerful one.She can use the power of prophecy every five years, Yueque needs ten years, and Xinglian needs twenty years.Although she can only live in places that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, and nourish her life with the spiritual springs in the 108 blessed lands and caves in the world, she is the only blue bird that can only move at night for a short time-although she lives every day. One action, but a few hours, every time the dawn comes, she must plunge into the next spiritual spring and sleep for three days to replenish her weakening energy.

Ri Yao, like Yue Que and Xing Lian, is extremely weak and deformed. Every time she takes a step, she has to endure unimaginable pain, and she may be regarded as a monster and be slaughtered at any time.However, she had to run around between the springs.Because, every spiritual spring can be absorbed by her for at most seven days of spiritual energy, and then it will gradually wither, and it will take a year of repairs before it can flow again. And the distance between those spiritual springs is too far, and the spiritual power is too limited. Sun Yao's power is getting weaker and weaker. If she can't find a place where she can stay for a long time, she will die on the road leading to a deep mountain and valley sooner or later in the early morning, or become a prey in the snare of strange hunters.

Later, she came to the side of the Four Holy Springs on Mount Kailash. These four holy springs are located on the banks of the sacred mountain and holy lake, and no one has set foot in them all year round. The aura has not been destroyed by manpower, and there is no threat of hunters. So Riyao has been entrenched on Mount Kailash for ten years.Ten years later, the Four Holy Springs also began to dry up.There is only one spiritual spring in the world that can support her. That is the fifth holy spring that is located in the center of the world, in Mount Kailash, beside the holy lake, and beside the Miaomiao Leshenglun Palace, which only exists in legends.If Riyao can break through the layers of ice and snow and take shelter in the seal of God, then even if the world changes, as long as the fifth holy spring is still there, she will be able to hide here forever, waiting for the birth of the Queen Mother of the West.

This seal can only be opened by Shiva's arrow, which has long since disappeared. Therefore, Riyao used the power of prophecy that he could condense once every five years to figure out where Shiva's arrow was.At that time, half of the divine arrow was cast into one of the four heavenly decrees, and the other half was transformed into a sword, which was regarded by Fusang as one of the three great artifacts for protecting the country and stored in the shrine. Xinglian's divination can only capture fragments of the funeral, so she can't explain the meaning of "six heavenly sacrifices" in detail; while Yueque predicted to Yan Qingmei in detail the three days when the wheel-turning sage king will come to the world. Twelve kinds of omens; the sun can accurately calculate the entire chain of karma and the trajectory of fate.So she ventured to the Elephant Washing Pool on Mount Emei, waiting to meet the initial link of the chain.

Unexpectedly, the first link was actually Meng Tiancheng, the school guard of Wuyue Palace. (The following part of the plot refers to "Zizhao Tianyin", "Scared Deer on the Fortress", "Whispering the Bell on the Road of Shu", "Chiding Pingnan") Sun Yao predicted that King Wuyue would send him to Japan to steal the Excalibur in the near future, and said that he could predict all favorable opportunities to him and finally help him realize his wish.And the condition she offered was that after Meng Tiancheng obtained the sword, he would lend it to her for three days and then bring it back to Wuyue Palace.

With Meng Tiancheng's character, he might not agree to her.However, Riyao still has the last chess piece. She said that she can predict the secret marriage and let Meng Tiancheng marry Yang Jing, the daughter of the Minister of War.Meng Tiancheng had only met Yang Jing once at the time, but his love was already deep, so he finally agreed to Ri Yao's conditions. But what Meng Tiancheng didn't expect was that it was a scam that King Wuyue sent him to steal the Excalibur.Although, with Ri Yao's prediction, he miraculously broke through many obstacles and finally got the sword, but once he returned to the Central Plains, the sword brought him one fatal disaster after another.

Later, Zhuo Wangsun used this sword to start a massacre on Emei Peak, slaughtering many martial arts righteous people, inserted the sword among the huge rocks on the peak, and walked away.Three months later, Yang Yizhi went to the top of the mountain and pulled out the sword.But at this time, the sword had been bent and turned into a mortal product, and this ominous ancient weapon was abandoned in the deep valley. Soon, a person picked it up, set up a cauldron and opened the furnace by the Xixiang pool, and together with Cang Tian Ling, refined it into a complete feather arrow.This person is Lou Xinyue.

The magic arrow finally fell into the hands of Sun Yao.One month later, she opened the gate of Leshenglun Palace with an arrow.For thousands of years, no mortal has ever been able to see through the numerous seals and find the location of Le Shenglun Palace; what's more, she still holds the arrow of Shiva in her hand.So Tiga finally believed her words—she was the messenger of Lord Shiva in the world. Then, he used part of Shiva's power to cut through the ice of the eternal seal, allowing Sun Yao to shelter in it.Like the mermaid Xinglian who lives in the blood pool of Huayinge, Riyao is also protected by the Mandala Sect.The price is that every five years, the mandala leader has the right to divination her funeral. In any case, thousands of karma are finally in the hands of Riyao; almost all people, even demigods, are used by her, or in other words, are used by the established fate, and Riyao is only able to see the trajectory of fate a prophet. Today, this prophet has been buried in the ice and snow seal for five years.Di Jia was about to go to the sleeping place of the prophet with lovesickness. Xiangsi was silent for a long time, as if she suddenly remembered something, said: "It is said that every blue bird has a terrible deformity, Xinglian is a mermaid, and Sun Yao, what does she look like?" Di Jia said: "She is right in front of you, why don't you open your eyes and see for yourself?" In the peacock array. Sangoruo's smile became stronger and stronger: "Why are you still unwilling to choose? Are you going to wait here for the rest of your life?" Zhuo Wangsun stood tall on the stone pillar, his green shirt fluttering, but he didn't answer him. Sang Geruo smiled and said: "Maybe I forgot to tell you that once the Peacock Formation is opened, there will be no solution for an hour, and all the stone pillars will sink to the bottom of the pool, even the one-sixth chance of each step is gone." .And you don't have the solution that Baimo gave you, why don't you take it out and have a look?" Zhuo Wangsun stared at the colorful pillars in front of him, but still did not answer. Light and shadow flowed, and countless thick and colorful god statues intertwined dazzlingly in the dark night.At first glance, it is a messy pile of color blocks, but after looking at it, it seems that there are some inexplicable rules hidden, and once you try to find these rules, they immediately break up, like a mess, Can not be sorted out. Or, you thought you had found it, and you brought a hundred examples into it, all of which were amazingly accurate. Just when you were overjoyed, you suddenly found the one hundred and first, and you came up with a pattern that is completely consistent with this "law". "A complete opposite conclusion. Could it be that the so-called law is just a deception that has existed from the beginning? From nowhere, there was the sound of water ticking, and time also passed by with the sound of water.Sang Geruo waited for a while, then said with a faint smile: "If you don't choose again, I'm afraid it will be too late." Before he finished speaking, the ground under his feet trembled violently, and the mirror-like lake of mercury swelled violently. The silver spray rolled up and hit the bottom of the stone pillar, but it was smashed into trillions of dust and scattered in all directions. The reflections of countless colorful stone pillars are like hibiscus blossoms in the autumn lake, shaking and interlacing in the waves, and the silver light shines back, and the whole ground is like a layer of moonlight. The rumbling sound, like Jiugao's thunder, reverberated all around. Sang Ge Ruo said with a long laugh: "The Peacock Formation has been launched, the Peacock Holy Spring is pouring upside down, and the bottom of the entire holy lake will slowly sink. If you don’t choose, you will never have a chance.” Above, the dark sky seemed to be slowly descending.And the huge pressure is like a ghost, coming from the bones silently, it seems to be everywhere, and it seems to be nowhere.The earth's veins seemed to be torn apart by the huge vibration, a scorching air surged from the depths of the earth, and the whole tunnel suddenly became extremely hot, making the blood in the whole body feel like boiling. Trembling, it's like purgatory. Sang Geruo stopped laughing, and said slowly: "Life and death are just a very common thing, the majestic Huayin Pavilion Master, doesn't even have the courage to take this step?" The light and shadow shone, the sky and the earth trembled, and the buzzing sound seemed to be his echo.And it seems that the surrounding walls are not broken to open up deep marks, and the debris is flying around, and it seems that it may shatter under the huge pressure at any time! Sang Geruo's eyes flashed, and Zhuo Wangsun's figure had already risen into the air. The green shirt fluttered and slowly landed on a crimson stone pillar. Xiangsi opened her eyes, the light in her eyes trembled, and she could no longer move away. I don’t know when the tunnel has ended without a sound. In front of me is a very high ice and snow palace. The high dome is immersed in the darkness in the distance. Looking up, it seems that I am standing in the heart of a snow mountain somewhere. Underneath, and this palace of ice and snow, it seems that the force of creation forcibly pierced through from the inside, hollowing out the entire snow mountain. The dome is tall and distant, silent, as if everything has been sealed here for thousands of years. A huge icicle stands in the middle of the hall, from bottom to top, from the center of the earth to the top of the mountain.The surrounding ice is as huge as a high rock, facing each other, revealing a changing light, guarding and supporting the huge pillar that pierces the sky and the earth. The icicle is round and natural, and it seems to be as thick as a dozen people hugging it. At the interface between the bottom of the pillar and the ground, the light seems to become strange.Under the thick ice, the lower end of the icicle seems to have been melted into an inverted pear shape by the geothermal heat. The semi-melted liquid is slightly turbulent, reflecting a faint blue luster. A cloud of shadows sank and floated inside, like a bat hanging upside down in a cave, lurking lurkingly, ready to break through the wall at any time. Slightly turned to an angle, the strange blue light was bent and distorted by the arc-shaped ice wall, and the shadow became extremely huge.And a blue light just happened to pass through from here, illuminating every detail of the things in the pillar, which is extremely terrifying. The semi-melted liquid sometimes moved and sometimes remained still, and the faint light floated.A two-headed woman is hanging upside down in it.Her shoulders have shrunk, her arms are entangled in front of her chest, she is as thin as a baby, her legs are curled up, but they are like a pair of weirdly soft tentacles.But the long hair on her two heads was extremely developed, as if all the nutrients in her body had been sucked away by these two weird heads. These two heads are twins, with no difference in appearance, one on the left and one on the right of her neck.Although her figure is extremely terrifying, if you only look at her face, she can still be said to be delicate and beautiful. She closed her eyes and slept quietly in the ice palace. The rosy shadow on her eyelashes covered her rosy cheeks. May wake up from the spring dream at any time. The long hair on her head is knotted into countless strands, like two puffs of jet-black algae, knotted and twisted upside down, spreading vertically and horizontally in the entire pear-shaped gap.Looking at it from a distance, it actually gives people an illusion that this is not long hair at all, but countless umbilical cords, pierced deep into the icicles, rooted in the thick ice wall, and constantly absorbing nutrients. The skin of her whole body is almost transparent, and the blood vessels are like a giant net stretched on her body, floating slightly with the long hair, and slowly rhythmic with an inexplicable rhythm.It seems that she is not attached to this upside-down ice palace, but a strange baby living deep in the mother's body, relying on the nourishment of endless spiritual power to continue her incomplete life. Xiangsi's face gradually turned pale, and she murmured: "Is this the sun? Impossible..." Di Jia said: "Why is it impossible?" Xiangsi said: "She, if she is like this, how could she come to Mount Kailash?" The way she looks now is like a doll that was spoiled by the heavens and cruelly placed in the body of an unfortunate mother. From the beginning, this life was doomed to be a cruel mistake and could never be born. ——Unless she is the daughter of a demon.However, how can the devil walk among the human world? Di Jia shook his head and said, "Three years ago, she was not like this." Xiangsi said, "You mean..." Di Jia sighed: "She entered the holy spring and absorbed the spiritual power of the holy spring, but most of her body was also controlled by this spiritual power, and then degenerated and shrank; the other part grew wildly, and finally became what it is now. Today , she will never be able to leave this ice palace." Xiangsi silently looked at Riyao, feeling a sense of sadness welling up in her heart.Now, the only three blue birds left in the world are all hiding alone in the dark place, enduring endless pain and torture, but it is difficult to take a step away.Their souls were all given to the gods and demons in the dark as the price of exchange.There is only one meaning of lingering like this, and that is to wait for the emptiness of opportunity—to find two envoys, tear apart one's nine-orifice heart, and sprinkle the blood of the heart on the envoys.Make everything possible, let the three drops of divine blood finally gather in one place, and summon their god, Queen Mother of the West, to come into the world. For this reason, they gave everything, and even would rather turn themselves into monsters, in the darkest and most remote corners of the world, using the power of predicting the future, to plan plots and fights one after another.Although he has the body of a demigod, he lives a life like a devil.I don't know when I will be free. Xiangsi raised her eyes and looked at her with pity.Suddenly, there was a sharp pain between her brows. This kind of pain is sharp and unstoppable, it comes as soon as it is said, without warning, but it is extremely familiar.She also felt this way when she first saw Xiaoyan. She understood that this was the blood of the Nine-Apertures injected into her body by Xinglian, and when facing the same kind, she once again had an irresistible induction. Her face suddenly turned pale, and if Di Jia hadn't been holding her hand, she would have almost passed out. And the two-headed woman in the pool woke up at some point! The head on the left side of the person seemed to have just woken up, she tilted her head gracefully, and slowly looked around; while the head on the right side suddenly opened her eyes, and two terrifying and fierce lights burst out from her golden eyes . Lingling's divine light, like hell demon fire, burns on the rotting bones; it is also like a gluttonous beast, which is about to fight people and devour them. Xiangsi felt a sudden chill all over, and took a step back involuntarily, Di Jia gently stretched out his hand to pull her behind. The head on the left side seems to be smiling: "My lord, the five-year period is here so soon?" But the expression on the head on the right side was extremely ferocious, and said sharply, "Who is she?" Di Jia ignored her question, but brought Acacia to the icicle, and said in a deep voice: "Just tell me, is she the reincarnation of Pavani?" The smile on the left side of the head was even wider: "Since the leader is willing to bring her here, he must think she is. However, if the result of the prophecy is not true, according to the taboo set by Lord Shiva, the leader must kill her as an offense to mortals." Punishment in the Holy Land. But—" There was a faint light in the icicle, and she seemed to rush forward suddenly, with her slender arms resting on the edge of the pillar, her head pressed against the ice, and said with a smile: "And she is so beautiful, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear to tell the truth when the time comes, not to mention - the leader doesn't want to hear such a truth, right?" The head on the right side laughed fiercely: "Kill her!" Before she finished speaking, she had already opened her mouth and bit the ice wall, as if she wanted to tear the ice wall open, and went straight to Xiangsi's neck.I saw her head hanging upside down, with sharp and fine teeth protruding sharply, grinding the hard ice surface to a crisp sound, which made people shudder.For a moment, her mouth and mouth were cracked by the solid ice wall, and the pink blood was like a stream, winding down from the blue ice wall, but her expression did not show pain at all, on the contrary, she was even more greedy and cruel, The teeth are wide open, and the long crimson tongue is sticking out, bit by bit licking the blood on the wall, it seems that he can't swallow the enemy, and would rather use his own blood to quench his hunger and thirst. Xiangsi was already speechless by the scene in front of her.Dijia said coldly: "These are not your duties. Start your divination."
