Zishu was sitting in an attic in the Gu family courtyard, looking at the Wangchuan Forest in the distance in trance.
"Hey! You're back, I've eaten all your balls!" A hand waved in front of him.
Zi Shu looked away, looked at Bai Zi who had been eaten by two big dragons, smiled silently, and lowered his eyes to clean up the mess.
Maotu picked up the pieces together and muttered: "Is playing chess with me so boring? I have been in a daze. If you are unhappy about something, tell me to make me happy...what are you doing?"
He noticed that Zi Shu was staring at his hand, quickly withdrew, and stared back warily.
Zishu withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "You have been very relaxed recently. You don't even try to disguise yourself. Aren't you afraid that others will see that you are a woman?"
Still thinking something was going on, Mao Tu breathed a sigh of relief: "Others can't enter the underworld, who can see it?"
Having said that, when he stretched out his hand again, he already looked like a man.
"Who said no one saw it? Wasn't that the one?" Zishu raised his chin.
Maotu glanced at the direction he was pointing and smiled: "You really don't trust him."
Zishu snorted: "What reason do I have to trust him?"
Maotu looked at his expression: "Speaking of which, he was originally a candidate for the next Weiyang, right? Now that something has happened, he has returned to his rightful position."
Zishu was slightly lost in thought, and his memory was brought back to the Xuanyan Sect decades ago.
The last Weiyang was Sect Leader Cui who died there. If Leng Qiufeng had successfully become a demon, Xuanyan Sect would have become the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and its disciples would have been the first batch of demon disciples to be transformed. In that case, they would not have
Mind giving him the status of heir to the Earthly Branches.
Unfortunately, the plan failed, Leng Qiufeng would rather die together, and Master Cui died on the spot.
"He came here strangely." Zishu rubbed the chess piece in his hand, "And what he calls a demon is very different from others."
Maotu agreed and said: "But he was left behind by your Majesty, so Your Majesty must trust him."
Zishu said quietly: "His demonic body was condensed by the Supreme Being, and his breath comes from the same source, so the Supreme Being will naturally treat him differently."
Maotu rolled his eyes, and a soundproof barrier was released silently.
The rat raised his head.
Mao Tu chuckled: "You and I have recovered from our injuries, and the Demon Sect has established a firm foothold here. Calculating the time, it's almost time to open the barrier. I just want to ask your thoughts, what do you think, Your Majesty... again
Is it trustworthy?"
Zishu stared at her: "Are you questioning Your Majesty?"
"Don't be like this," Mao Tu was not afraid of him. "You and I both know where your Majesty is coming from. If something goes wrong with her, all of us will be ruined. Can't we be careful?"
Zi Shu was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Ordinarily, she has deeply integrated with the Dharmakaya, and her self should have been completely annihilated."
"Will there be any accidents?" Maotu asked.
Zishu asked back: "That is the dharma body of the ancient demon lord. Do you think she can bear it?"
Mao Tu thought it was really impossible: "First the dharma body is fused, then the consciousness is wiped out, and finally she is completely demonized... It is too difficult to survive three levels to protect herself. Under the will of the demon lord, her soul has no place to hide.
.”
Zishu nodded slightly: "Don't waste your time thinking about impossible things. I've been going to the enchantment more recently. You can't make any mistakes at the last moment."
Maotu's eyes lit up: "Are you ready to open the barrier?"
Zishu said calmly: "Only when we take the initiative can we catch them by surprise."
This was exactly what Mao Tu wanted. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Just as she was about to answer the call, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She flicked her sleeves and the lotus tube emerged. The lotus inside was restless.
"No, something happened to the barrier." After Maotu said that, he removed the sound insulation, transformed into a escaping light, and flew towards the entrance of the underworld.
Zishu followed closely behind, and the two quickly landed at the damaged area of the barrier.
This dead wood forest is the dividing line between Huangquan and the outside world. It was originally shrouded in an invisible fog, but now it has become much lighter.
The two walked a few steps, and sure enough, they vaguely saw the scenery outside.
"The person on duty today is Weiyang, right? I knew there was something wrong with him!" Maotu gritted his teeth.
Without waiting for Zishu to respond, a voice came from outside: "Quick, here!"
The two of them turned their heads and saw a gray shadow disappearing like a stream of light.
The light and shadow dispersed, revealing the figures of Leng Qiufeng and several demon cultivator disciples.
The cold autumn wind fell to the ground and raised his hand to clap.
The gray mist escaped and quickly condensed into pieces of jade, blocking the incoming sword light.
"Devil, where are you going?" Ye Hanyu's figure flashed.
Maotu immediately became angry: "You dare to run wild in the Demon Sect's realm, you are so impatient!"
The lottery tube lit up, and the cold autumn wind had already taken action, sending out a piece of gray mist to meet the attack.
When the mist hits the gravel on the ground, the dead wood above, and the withered rattan, it quickly turns into gray jade blocks, blocking the gap.
If Maotu wants to attack again, he must remove some of the restrictions.
She was furious: "Weiyang, did you do it on purpose?"
Leng Qiufeng had no time to quarrel with her. While trying his best to repair the barrier, Leng Qiufeng replied: "Will you help or not? If you don't take action, the other party will invade!"
"you……"
"Block the barrier first." Zishu interrupted her and poured mana into it.
Maotu couldn't resist, so he finally sighed angrily and waved his sleeves, and came to help.
She was maintaining this barrier. A few sticks flew out, weaving out rays of light like shuttles, and the broken barrier was quickly repaired.
The fog solidified again, Ye Hanyu's figure gradually faded, and the underworld was closed again.
Leng Qiufeng took a long breath and turned around.
"Why did you open the barrier without permission?" Mao Tu took the initiative and asked, "Do you know that doing this will make the Immortal Alliance more vigilant and ruin our major events?!"
Zi Shu looked over, also waiting for his answer.
Leng Qiufeng raised his eyebrows: "Ask me?"
"Who are you asking if not?" Mao Tu asked sternly, "Are you an undercover agent of the Immortal Alliance?"
Compared with her attitude, Leng Qiufeng's mood was very stable and said: "Shouldn't I ask Master Maotu about this?"
"What do you mean?" Maotu didn't understand.
Leng Qiufeng raised his finger and said, "Today is my shift. When I came here to inspect, the barrier here was suddenly damaged. There were Immortal Alliance deity transformation monks stationed outside. I was entangled as soon as I met and almost couldn't come back.
You are in charge of the world, shouldn’t I ask you?”
"Nonsense!" Maotu didn't believe it, "How could something suddenly go wrong with the barrier? I just checked it not long ago."
"Since we have checked and there is still such a problem, with Master Maotu's formation skills, is it possible that this is a loophole left deliberately, just waiting for something to happen to me?"
Maotu was furious: "How dare you blame me?!"
Leng Qiufeng ignored her and turned to Zishu and said, "Everything I said is true. If Lord Maotu insists on framing me, let's go and explain it to you before your superiors!"
