Chapter 564: Can you help me?(1/2)
Taiyi didn't know whether this Donghuang Bell was real, because when the Demon Emperor left, only Qingluan was by his side. If the Demon Emperor really left a magical weapon that could be comparable to myths, Qingluan wouldn't have been announced.
However, since the clues of this thing were given by Mingyue, it would be 70% credible. After all, Mingyue's reputation has always been very good.
The question now is how to avoid Qingluan getting this magic weapon. As long as you have this magic weapon in hand, Taiyi will not be afraid of the counterattack of the old powerful class. After all, this world is a world that emphasizes power.
However, there are still many doubts about this clue. The most important one is why the Demon Emperor did not give this artifact directly to Qingluan, but left it in Kunlun Mountain.
In addition, why did Mingyue get clues about this artifact, and why did she give herself the clues about this artifact to herself, without any other conditions.
Taiyi knew very well that the bright moon was not Shangqing, and it was impossible to help him without asking for rewards. All the gifts from this great human emperor came at a price, but it was not the time to pay the price at this moment.
But Taiyi really needs this thing now and can only accept this gift.
After thinking clearly about the pros and cons, Taiyi decided to return to the demon clan first and find a way to enter the Kunlun Mountains that have turned into secret realms. Based on the clues in this book, find the Donghuang Bell.
However, he did not leave the Human Royal City immediately, but visited several technology companies with the strongest human technology capabilities, took out all their savings, established a project department, and issued scientific research commissions to these companies.
Then he left the human race, headed west and returned to the demon court.
——
The first time he returned to the demon court, Qingluan summoned him into the palace and asked about his resignation.
After all, as the local official of the demon clan, it disappeared as soon as Taiyi disappeared, which had a huge impact on the entire demon court.
Taiyi did not hide anything, and just talked about his master-apprentice story with Shangqing, and also told him that he went to the human race to spend all his savings to publish scientific research projects. These scientific research projects are actually related to the intercept teaching, and he really wanted to help the teacher.
The sincere words he said were from the heart.
Because Qingluan also had a certain master-disciple relationship with Mo Yu, this story almost moved Qingluan to cry.
Love is true love, things are true things, but part of the truth is hidden.
Taiyi never lies, but he will only narrate part of the facts according to his needs, and lead the thinking of the person who listens to his narration to where he wants.
After this confession, Qingluan felt that Taiyi was a bit similar to him and trusted Taiyi even more. Not only did he forgive him for leaving his post without permission, but he also paid money from his small treasury, injecting a lot of funds into Taiyi's project department.
Taiyi naturally cried bitterly with gratitude and vowed to repay Qingluan.
——
After this incident, the world seemed to have returned to normal. The sphere of influence of the Anhui Sect has always been among the human race. The Jie Sect has just begun to preach. In a short period of time, no disciples will come out. Even Taiyi has delayed the pace of reform. The demon court seems to have entered a short period of peace.
After another three or five years, when everything was over, Taiyi found a free time and sneaked into the Kunlun Secret Realm.
The way of enlightenment to the space has cut off the entire Kunlun Mountain from the real world, forming a separate small space, which is the Kunlun Secret Realm.
In the secret realm, there are normal warm and cold seasons, the sun rises and the moon sets, which are actually projections of the external world.
At the top of Kunlun, the fog still covered there, which was the place where the Taoist ancestor preached.
However, this place has nothing to do with the destination of Taiyi's trip. According to the book, there is a towering ancient tree at the westernmost end of the Kunlun Mountains, which is now the westernmost end of the Kunlun Secret Realm.
Taiyi walked to the westernmost end and indeed saw the towering ancient tree.
The trees were all black and hundreds of meters high, with only trunks and branches, and no leaves. There was a surging heat surging above the tree, and there was a faint flow of flames.
The tree is surrounded by grass, and the earth is drying out deep cracks. Behind this tree is a barrier of nothingness, which means the boundaries of Kunlun secret realm.
"The whereabouts of the Donghuang Bell are on this tree."
Taiyi hesitated for a moment and pressed his palm on the trees. The surging flames burned the thin shield he built with his own power. The flame seemed to carry special power, and the demigod-level power shield was about to be penetrated in an instant.
Taiyi did not hesitate. According to what the book said, he constructed an ancient and complex rune and penetrated it into the ancient tree.
The moment the runes sank into the trees, the originally surging flames instantly restrained and penetrated into the trees, and a huge roar resounded between the heaven and earth.
Countless thick root systems gushed out from the dry earth, and the gushing flames instantly formed this place into a sea of fire.
And above this sea of fire, the phantom of a huge bronze bell slowly condensed, and the simplicity and old aura came towards us.
But Taiyi couldn't wait for the ancient bell to solidify. The flame was many times stronger than the flames surging on the trees before. In an instant, it tore the shield of Taiyi's body and invaded his body.
This power has long exceeded the limit that Taiyi can bear. When he moves half a step in the flame, he will be burned into coke by the burning heat wave, let alone touching the huge bronze ancient bell.
He took a breath, and without any hesitation, he disconnected his power and removed the complex runes.
As the runes disappeared, the bronze ancient bell that had not yet been completely solid also gradually disappeared, the huge waves of fire slowly receded, and the gushing roots of the tree returned to the ground again, and everything returned to what it was before.
Taiyi's clothes had long been burned by fire, and the book that recorded the clues of the Donghuang Bell turned into dust.
But at this moment, Taiyi was extremely excited. He obviously felt the pressure put on him by the bronze ancient bell. He had only felt this pressure on Mingyue and Sanqing. The bronze ancient bell was definitely a mythical treasure.
Even if this bronze ancient bell is not included, the flame that can burn the peak of the demigod into char in a short time is still a treasure in a sense.
However, these flames seem to be unable to move, and when activated, they will cover themselves and their enemies in the flames. It can only be said to be a way to die together.
Taiyi withdrew his hand and looked up at the huge flame trees at this moment.
He has lived in Kunlun for many years, but he has never had the impression of this tree. But now he thinks that this tree has always been here, but he has never paid attention to it.
This tree may have some kind of ability to hide its existence, and it cannot be discovered until it has a certain level.
Finally, he looked at the tree reluctantly, and found some grass leaves to cover his body and gradually moved away.
This time he came to check whether the news given by Mingyue was correct. It was not a pity that he had not received the Donghuang Bell. Moreover, it was something he had expected to have some protection around the Donghuang Bell. After all, if he could take away the treasure of the Demon King by just finding someone, then Mingyue would have sent someone to take it away secretly, so why give him a gift?
The next step is to find a way to take away this treasure.
As his mood circulated, Taiyi quickly left the Kunlun Secret Realm, then returned to his safe house, found a piece of clothing to put on, and returned to his mansion.
As long as he is fast enough, others will not see him running naked.
——
After returning to the demon court, Taiyi did not immediately start looking for the bronze ancient bell, but began to make some books and distributed them among the people. The content was probably the same as the books given to him by Mingyue. He only deleted the news about the Donghuang Bell and changed it to the Demon Emperor leaving a sacred tree at the westernmost end of Kunlun.
Soon, he received feedback, and Qingluan ordered the confiscation of these books and blocked the relevant news.
This move undoubtedly confirmed Taiyi's idea - Qingluan knew the existence of Donghuang Bell.
This made him feel relieved.
——
And in Qingluan's palace, it is a completely different scene.
"Sister Mingyue, why do you do this?"
Qingluan looked at the bright moon sitting in front of her desk in confusion.
The order to collect books was not given by her, but by Mingyue using a cutting-edge technology as a bargaining chip to exchange with her.
Mingyue gave her a very simple reason, she didn't like this book.
Everyone knows that the relationship between the shemale and the demon clan is subtle, and it is not bad, but they do not know that the rulers of the two clans have close personal relationships.
In fact, Qingluan was also very cautious about Mingyue at the beginning, until Mingyue brought news that shocked her.
Although she did not fully believe the news, because of this news, her defense towards Mingyue became much weaker and she gradually established a friendship with Mingyue.
When they get along, they never talk about political affairs, they just talk about family matters, or sneak out of the palace to play, and gradually became close friends.
This time, it was Mingyue's first time asking her to do things.
"I won't ask for your help in vain," Mingyue walked to Qingluan carelessly, sat directly on the table in front of her, shaking her beautiful little feet.
"No," she took out a treasure from her arms and placed it in front of Qingluan. Her long and soft hair slid down her shoulders. "If one day you are desperate, you can open it."
But Qingluan was rarely silent for a moment and said slowly,
"Sister Mingyue, I know I am not as good as you. I am not as good as you in governing the country, and my civil and military skills. I also know that you want to annex the demon clan, but the demon clan was established by the teacher. I cannot give it up, even if I am forced into a desperate situation, even if I will die in the end.
I will never surrender.”
"Okay, OK," Mingyue seemed a little happy with her serious expression. She jumped off the table and stuffed the tip of the table into Qingluan's arms. "I know you won't surrender, and I won't persuade you to surrender, in this tip of the tip..."
Mingyue paused for a moment, and those gem-like eyes stared at Qingluan's eyes, "It's my brother who has left you a life-saving backup."
Hearing this sentence, Qingluan was stunned for a moment, and in the end she did not push the bag back, but held it in her hand.
"Believe it or not, I'll give you something, anyway," Mingyue tidied up her skirt and walked slowly towards the door. Her figure became increasingly faint, and her beautiful little hand waved, "I'll come to play with you another day."
It's like a familiar old friend saying goodbye normally.
Qingluan looked at Mingyue's gradually disappearing back, then looked at the tip of the bag in her arms, hesitated for a moment, and still put it away.
——
Time flies, and fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Fifty years are enough for mortals to spend half their lives, from well-behaved children to old people in the evening, but for the immortals, it seems to be no different from several months.
People's joys and sorrows are different. The Ancient Sect has spread all over the human race, and disciples of the Ancient Sect have begun to recruit disciples from the demon clan.
The first batch of disciples of the Jie Sect have already come out. All of these disciples were born in poor families. Their lives after returning have undergone qualitative changes compared to the original ones and have gradually become the mainstream of society.
Under their influence, more and more disciples went to Biyou Palace to seek the Tao. The Biyou Palace, which is a radius of dozens of miles, was even gradually filled.
The Shangqing Sect has no distinction and no one will refuse to come, but the Jie Sect only gives disciples the opportunity to practice and will not interfere with their lives.
In the past fifty years, Taiyi's scientific research project finally achieved results. They created a machine that can be "initiated" and said it is an initiation, but in fact it can continuously copy the experience and insights stored in the machine to the next person.
This is the idea that Taiyi was born based on the method of teaching the exercises of Shangqing.
