The demon who was killed by Wu Jie seemed to have a high status. When it was killed, the surrounding demon army immediately became panicked, giving Li Yan and the others a long rest.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Wu Jie, Master Lei Sheng, and Huo Longzi drank happily and exchanged some battle experiences.
The three of them are all top masters. Wu Jie is good at controlling fire, Huo Longzi is good at combining wind and fire, and Master Lei Sheng is good at controlling lightning. They were drinking and chatting, using their understanding of magic to prepare food and drinks, which was quite enjoyable.
.
When he learned that Wu Jie was also interested in thunder and lightning spells, Master Lei Sheng taught him some of his best lightning control methods. He finally sighed and said: "There is no one in the world who is good at using thunder and lightning than the Great Guangming Divine Sect."
.It is said that they were taught by the fighting god who came to the world. The fighting god's ability to control thunder was so powerful that even immortal gods and demons were blown to pieces by her..."
"Brother Wu, my method of controlling lightning is really nothing. If you have a chance in the future, you must communicate with people from the Great Guangming Sect. They are easy to talk to and will definitely be able to control your thunder and lightning skills.
Take it to the next level”
Wu Jie was naturally humble and complimented him very much.
This Master Lei Sheng has great abilities, heroic character, and a hatred of evil. He can be regarded as a model of a righteous man. It is a great honor to be able to raise a glass and drink with him despite being separated by so many years.
Not long after, before the offensive of the extraterrestrial demons was organized, Li Yan and the others had already completed preparations for the sky-repairing ceremony.
Except for a very small number of people who were responsible for maintaining the formation, the remaining soldiers all knelt down towards the tower-like Ancestral Temple and prayed silently. Li Yan, who had changed into a robe and was accompanied by his two daughters,
Walking through the kneeling crowd, we slowly climbed up the tower.
Wu Jie, who was guarding a key node of a formation, couldn't help but raise his head and look towards the tower.
The figures of Li Yan, his father and his daughter soon appeared in front of the blazing blue holy fire. He took the two princesses to worship heaven and earth first, then comforted the late emperor, and finally prayed silently - then, the two princesses
He resolutely jumped into the holy fire, and instantly turned into two balls of flames and merged into the blue holy fire.
The fire suddenly became much brighter.
Wu Jie was shocked. He didn't expect that the ceremony to mend the sky would require a human sacrifice, and he didn't expect that the sacrifice would be Li Yan's own daughter.
"What's going on?" he exclaimed.
"Brother Wu, why are you so panicked?" Master Lei Sheng's voice came from not far away, but with a strange sense of alienation, "Matching the sky, isn't it just like this?"
Wu Jie felt that his whole body was stiff, and he slowly turned his head to look at Master Lei Sheng.
"Back then, we followed Taizu to the sky, wiped out the demons, and then tried to repair the cracks in the space. But no matter what treasures we used or what spells we cast, we couldn't repair it. At this time, Taizu thought of Hua Xian in the past
A story the teacher once told.”
"What...story?"
"In ancient times, the sky was broken. The Virgin Mother Nuwa refined five-color stones in an attempt to mend the sky. However, the stones could not mend the sky. Seeing the misery and displacement of all living beings, Nuwa jumped into the cracks in the sky and sacrificed her life to mend the sky. Nowadays, the sky occasionally flashes at night.
The passing rays of light are the remaining blood stains from the Holy Mother's patching of the sky."
Wu Jie said nothing, he already understood.
"After Taizu finished speaking, he planned to jump into the crack to patch the sky, but an old brother stopped him and jumped in first." Lei Sheng sighed, "Sure enough, the crack was patched - later we studied
After some research, I found that those who go to mend the sky need to have good luck. The stronger the good luck, the better the effect of mending the sky."
"...Research? How?" Wu Jie felt that his voice was a little astringent.
"How else can we study it?" Master Lei Sheng said with a smile, "Look at the sky above the sky. Now there is only this last crack left."
Wu Jie took a deep breath, feeling as if his whole body was being pressed down by a huge boulder, and even breathing was very difficult.
Mend the sky, mend the sky... It turns out that every crack in the sky is mended with flesh and blood.
No wonder the Holy Emperor Dynasty declined after three generations. Every time the sky was patched up, loyal, brave and heroic heroes with great fortune would sacrifice their lives. Over time, how could the Holy Emperor Dynasty not decline?
Recalling the complete sky of his own time, Wu Jie seemed to see scenes of heroes one after another leaping into the cracks in space, sacrificing their lives to cut off future troubles for the human world.
Now...there is only one biggest crack left in the sky...
Thinking of this, he was suddenly startled and felt the hairs all over his body stand up.
Li Yan cast a spell in Chang'an City before, in order to use the luck of Kyushu to condense his Dharma body and purify his own bloodline. So... why did he do this?
Thinking of this, Wu Jie quickly turned his head and looked up at the tower.
Li Yan stood in front of the holy fire that had devoured his biological daughters. He looked back at the ground and met his eyes.
"Junior brother" Wu Jie exclaimed.
A smile appeared on Li Yan's face: "Mending the sky is the fate and glory of the Li family. Since Taizu, we have made up our minds to mend all the cracks in the sky so that the demons from outside the territory cannot
Another large-scale invasion of the human world - three generations and more than a thousand years ago, the long-cherished wish of leaving home can finally come true."
"I am happy because I have a queen who shared my joys and sorrows without a single complaint until her death; I have daughters who are willing to support me, even if they risk their lives; I have subordinates who follow me and fight all the way, even if they are miserable...
"
"I am happy because I was fortunate enough to go countless years later and witness with my own eyes the fruits of our business. I have received countless admiration and admiration from stories, books, and people's words.
"This is supposed to be shared by everyone, but it has been monopolized by Li's family. There is nothing wrong with paying some price for it, right?"
Wu Jie wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"I'm very happy, really, I'm very happy." Li Yan smiled, turned his head, and jumped into the holy fire.
His body instantly turned into blue flames, making the holy fire extremely brilliant. The dazzling blue light illuminated the entire square, the entire Shenghuang City, and the entire sky.
In the black sky, there is a crack that is deepened by darkness and filled with a strange and dark atmosphere. It is like the bloody mouth of a prehistoric beast, which is horrifying.
But the green fire surged up suddenly, rushing towards the crack like a tide.
"Haha, it's our turn." Master Lei Sheng and Huo Longzi laughed at the same time, jumped up, turned into two rays of light and followed the cyan fire, and rushed towards the crack together.
Following them, almost all the experts on the square jumped up and turned into streaks of light, rushing towards the cracks one after another.
Wu Jie and Tao Tu stood there in a daze, watching these masters rush into the crack. Countless rays of light burst into one piece, merging with the blue flames, filling the huge crack bit by bit.
.
In the end, only a touch of blue light was seen in the sky, and the deep crack was no longer visible.
Looking towards other places, you can see that there are many such cyan glows in the sky. The glows reflect each other, making people feel hot even in the cold night.
All the cracks in the sky were finally filled up.
From now on, the people of Kyushu no longer have to fear the massive invasion of demons from outside the territory. Chang'an City, which has guarded the world countless times and became a fortress, can finally usher in true and long-term peace.
Wu Jie and Tao Tu stood there motionless, staring at the blue glow for a long, long time.
I don't know when, a strange feeling of dizziness came over them, and everything around them seemed to be shaking. When the shaking stopped, they found that they had left the square at some point, and appeared in a place that looked a bit strange.
On a familiar street.
There are broken walls, broken weapons and corpses scattered everywhere here, but everything seems to be brand new, and there is no trace of old age. Even the corpses and blood stains on the walls and on the roadside are so new.
Uneasy - they could even see several corpses bleeding, apparently just dead.
"Elder brother, what's going on?" Tao Tu felt that he had suffered countless mental shocks these days, so much so that he could calmly complain in the face of such a strange scene, "I was patching up the sky just now.
Why did it become like this in the blink of an eye? At least give me some time to mentally buffer.
Wu Jie did not complain. He looked around repeatedly and finally determined that this place was the place where they were teleported from Qingyang Mountain to the Holy Imperial City not long ago.
"This is a place we have been to before." He said, "Although I don't know what happened, I think... let's go to the Taimiao Temple first. If there are any clues, the most likely place is there."
Of course Tao Tu had no objection to this, and the two of them set off immediately, walking towards the Ancestral Temple according to the direction in their memory.
But not long after setting off, they heard strange sounds.
Creak, creak, creak, as if a mouse was gnawing on something.
The two looked at each other and did not stop.
No matter what weirdness there is, the most important thing at the moment is to get to the Ancestral Temple as soon as possible. Other than that, other things should be put aside.
But instead of looking for trouble, trouble came to them. After walking for a while, the sounds of squeaking could be heard in all directions, especially in the front, which was densest, as if there were countless rats blocking the way.
The two sighed and stopped.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple," Tao Tu complained, "it has become a routine and something troublesome will happen every time."
Wu Jie smiled and said nothing. He raised his hand and sent out a few firebirds to fly forward. He used a trace of spiritual thought to see what was going on ahead.
However, there are no special circumstances ahead. If there is any problem, it is that there are a lot of corpses on the road ahead...
