While we were talking, the tide of Yin energy finally stopped, and we saw the vast wilderness again. The ghosts and Ghost Generals that had been everywhere had disappeared with the tide of Yin energy. Now, only white bones were left on the ground.
At this moment, the ox skull that was floating around us and spewing white smoke fell again, returning to the original appearance of the One-Legged Ox Altar.
Since the danger had disappeared, Wu Yue didn't delay any longer. She pointed forward and smiled at me. "Mr. Zhou, please follow me."
Then, she led the way and flew toward a certain place.
The fatty and I exchanged looks. We didn't say anything and followed Wu Yue.
The place she wanted to go seemed to be a little far. After walking for a while, I was worried about the snake spirit's situation, so I summoned it to see how it had recovered.
I didn't expect that the exhausted spirit serpent would recover in just a few minutes. However, it couldn't change its cowardly and cowardly appearance. As soon as it got out, it looked around with a panicked face. After confirming that there was no Yin energy around, it heaved a sigh of relief. "How did you avoid the Yin energy tide?"
Before I could answer, Tong Tong felt the movement outside. She jumped out and looked at me with a worried face. After confirming that I was okay, she also heaved a sigh of relief like the snake spirit. Then, she asked me about the situation.
I smiled and rubbed Tong Tong's hair. Then, I turned around and pointed at Wu Yue. I told her what had happened.
When Tong Tong heard that it was Wu Yue who had saved me, she quickly thanked him.
Wu Yue turned around and looked at the snake spirit and Tong Tong. She smiled at me and asked, "They should be the snake spirit and the heavenly embryo with Mr. Zhou, right?"
She knew my situation like the back of her hand. It wasn't strange that she knew about Tong Tong and the snake spirit.
I nodded and didn't pay much attention to her. "How's the snake spirit recovering?"
The snake spirit raised its head and said proudly, "I swallowed at least five or six thousand ghosts. More than half of them are still in my stomach. Although I can't directly convert them into my cultivation base, when the Yin energy in my body is exhausted, I can quickly replenish it. Hehe, in the future, I'll be an unkillable cockroach!"
So that was how it was.
Previously, I thought it was strange that the serpent spirit had swallowed so many Ghost Generals. How could it consume them all? Now, I understood. It was the same as when I had swallowed the Ghost Generals in the Yin Corpse Sect. I had stored half of the Ghost Generals in my body.
Before I could say anything, Wuyue continued, "Those spirits are really good supplements, especially the Ghost Generals. Swallowing one is equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation.
Now that the tide of Yin Qi had just passed, those ghosts had returned to nothingness. However, they would appear again in a few hours.
Why don't we take a break first and wait for the spirits to appear so that you can devour more? "
She seemed to be a little apologetic and was trying to find a way to make it up to him.
I clasped my hands at Wuyue and refused on their behalf. "Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but the spirit snake has swallowed enough souls. Tong Tong is kind and doesn't want to do such a thing.
So let's hurry up and get going. "
Wuyue ignored me and looked at Tong Tong in confusion, "You don't want to swallow it?
You little girl, you're very similar to me in the past … "
She seemed to remember something, and her gaze became heavy as she looked at Tong Tong and said, "This is a world where the strong preys on the weak. If you are strong, others will be afraid of you, and you will be able to protect the people you love. But if you are weak, not only will you not be able to protect the people you love, but you will also be bullied.
I was like that in the past. I relied on the Daoist priest's protection. I could have cultivated, but I didn't. In the end, it was too late for regrets! "
Hearing her words, I had a strange look on my face. Wuyue thought that Tong Tong and I were a couple. She even used their relationship as an analogy.
I didn't know what to say. Tong Tong looked pensive after listening to her.
Wuyue looked at me and then at Tong Tong. She seemed to remember something and continued, "There are many rules in this world, but they were set by others. We don't have to follow them.
Back then, the Daoist priest and I wanted to be together, so we got together. The people of Mount Longhu pointed at us, but we didn't care at all … "
Seeing that her words were becoming more and more explicit, I hastily interrupted her words and said, "What senior said is extremely correct. Rules are dead, but people are alive. If we have to abide by rules in everything, then there would be no meaning in living."
Wuyue didn't understand my relationship with Tong Tong, and I didn't want to say anything in front of Tong Tong, so I simply followed her words and stopped her from talking.
Hearing what I said, Wuyue nodded in agreement. After thinking for a while, she suddenly took out a palm-sized square box and handed it to Tong Tong. She said to her, "Take this first. It's a small gift from me. You'll definitely need it in the future!"
Tong Tong wasn't familiar with Wuyue. She took the box and was about to refuse, but Wuyue had already turned around and set off again.
I didn't know what was wrong with Wuyue. Seeing that she finally didn't continue the topic, I asked Tong Tong to put away the box. Then, we sat on the snake spirit and followed Wuyue.
After another hour, Wuyue brought us to a wilderness that was no different from other places.
She stopped and stood there, her hands forming a set of complicated hand seals. Then, our vision blurred and the wilderness disappeared. What replaced it was a huge cave that appeared around us.
It was different from the ancient battlefield that we had been in. Although this place was also very wide, it was extremely bright. It was a huge cave, but it gave people the feeling that they were in a temple, and they couldn't help but feel solemn.
This cave was huge, almost as big as the palace I had seen in the Yinshang Royal Mausoleum.
Looking around, I saw that the smooth and steep stone walls had been painted with countless images of people and animals in bright colors.
I lifted my head to look at the murals. They seemed to record the life of our ancestors.
Most of the people inside were wearing animal skins. They were either hunting or gathering fruits and vegetables. It was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
From the content, it was obvious that these murals were from a long time ago. On the surface, the colors were beautiful, but it looked as though they had just been painted. There were water stains on the paint, as though it hadn't been drained yet.
As we followed Wuyue forward, the walls on both sides of the road were filled with murals. However, the contents of the murals on both sides were obviously different.
The murals on the left were like the first one I saw. They depicted a peaceful and peaceful life.
The murals on the right were in a completely dark style. There were all kinds of monsters that were grinding their teeth and drinking blood. One of them had a face like a bull's head and a pair of wings on its back. It occupied most of the space. Every time this giant appeared, it was accompanied by strange people with bronze heads and iron foreheads, eight arms, and nine toes.
We walked to the end of the cave and turned a corner. The murals on the left and right suddenly gathered on the stone wall on the left. This gathering made the style of the murals on the left become bloody.
The mural depicted the scene on the battlefield of the Deer Chasing War.
Chiyou, with a face like a bull's head and a pair of wings on his back, waved his Chiyou Axe and galloped through the wilderness of Zhuolu. Every time the axe fell, countless warriors of the Yellow Emperor's tribe fell to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
On the other hand, the Yellow Emperor was holding the Xuanyuan Sword and fighting against Chiyou's subordinates, who had bronze heads, iron foreheads, eight arms, and nine toes. The whole scene was full of danger. Even though countless years had passed, the battlefield of that year was portrayed in the form of a mural. It was still immersive and nerve-wracking to watch.
From beginning to end, these murals clearly recorded the entire process of the Zhuolu War. The entire painting stretched from the top of the cave to the end, spanning over a hundred meters.
I was curious. What kind of place did Wuyue bring us to? Why would there be murals that recorded the entire Zhuolu War?
As I was thinking about this question, I suddenly tripped over something and almost fell.
I quickly lowered my head to take a look, and when I saw it clearly, I was stunned.
The thing that tripped me on the ground was actually a person, a person wearing an iron mask on his head …
