Feng stood in the middle of the clouds with his bare feet, standing beside the charred tree roots and the coiled dragon.
With her hands clasped in front of her chest, her long silver-white and black hair was flying in the wind.
The whole body was burning with light blue will-o'-the-wisps.
A middle-aged monk appeared next to the fake Yuzi very unexpectedly.
Also keep your hands clasped together.
He stood next to Feng, with a rare expression of doubt on his expressionless face.
"I thought you would play longer."
Feng stood there without speaking.
But he still kept his hands clasped together, and a little bit of blue starlight drifted from the ruins of Sakuragi, becoming the material for the will-o'-fire burning around Fake Miko's body.
The fire burned more and more fiercely.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had turned cold and he said mockingly.
"What? If I run away, will you let me go? Will you let me live?"
"Of course not."
"You know what you were born for."
The middle-aged monk's voice was calm and his expression became natural.
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic.
"Isshin Ashina died. Before he died, he killed my puppet."
"What's the point?"
Fake Miko seemed to feel disgusted just by being around him, and said in an extremely disgusting tone,
"In the past eight hundred years, how many puppets have you killed? Maybe you can't even remember how many people like Isshin Ashina have appeared, right?"
It's hard to tell whether her tone contained anger or resentment.
Anyone who knows that he was born to die as a tool, and that the person who decided this is still in front of him, will never be able to let go.
"No, just feeling."
The middle-aged monk sighed.
"Ashina Isshin committed suicide by opening the door before the fake Sakuraryu died."
"The little guy who has been fighting with me for twenty years finally ended up with me."
"Maybe he thought he had eliminated the trouble for Wolf and Jiulang, right?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged monk raised his hand.
A shadow of a square courtyard appeared in the palm of his hand.
There is a huge maple tree standing in the middle.
Faintly, it seems that a shrill and piercing wail can be heard coming from it.
After hearing what he said, the disgusted expression on Fake Miko's face became even more intense, and she turned her head away from looking at him.
But she knew very well in her heart that Isshin Ashina, the chief minister who seemed to dominate Ashina's place, was actually just a poor guy who had been played by Sakuraryu and Senho all his life.
His life was already doomed when he signed a contract with the so-called Sakura Dragon.
Even after death, the soul is opened and imprisoned in the maple tree in the hands of the Immortal Peak Master.
Compared to Han Baiyi, Fake Yuzi is very clear about the essence of the two knives of worshiping tears and opening the door.
Tears of Worship is an evil sword given by Yinglong, used to kill mortals who have eaten dragon blood and not die, and extract their soul power.
The so-called people who eat dragon blood and survive are those such as the Yujiamei clan, the fish king, the noble in the pot, the red-eyed carp, the undead insect, the white snake god, the lion ape, etc., who by various chances and coincidences, obtained broken dragon bodies and fell.
A person who receives the gift of the earth and thus obtains the power of immortality in the physical body.
Although the prices required for various immortal powers are different, the most unified representative is that although they are immortal, they will still age with time.
Because of this, no undead creature can threaten Sakura Dragon's status.
The sword of worshiping tears suddenly appeared three hundred years ago.
The reason why it was created also involves the issue between Sakura Dragon and Dragon Body.
Eight hundred years ago, Sakura Dragon came to the world, covered in blood.
As early as when he first came to Yingzhou, Yinglong was already on the verge of death.
In order to survive, Ryu abandoned his body and placed his dragon soul on Ashina's oldest sacred tree, the 'Ever Sakura Tree', to revive his body.
The abandoned dragon body fell into the place of Ashina, starting from the Collapse Canyon in the east to the Source Palace in the west. The entire Ashina place was built on the bones of the dragon body.
It is precisely because of the sacredness of the dragon's body that all kinds of monsters, big and small, appear in Ashina.
The most powerful among them is the white snake god and lion ape couple.
But I don’t know when, the Shenlong believers who worshiped the dragon and tried to eat the dragon’s flesh and blood, that is, the residents of the Source Palace who were swallowed up by the water carried by the dragon in the past, gradually became what they are now.
Add beauty to the silt.
Appearing one after another, there are also fish kings and undead insects.
It was also at that time that the first group of monks appeared on Xianfeng Mountain who ate immortal insects in pursuit of immortality.
They were the first people to eat dragon blood and survive.
The Immortal Peak Master, the monk who broke the precepts, and many other members of the Yujiamei clan who are still alive today all became immortals in this way.
The Immortal Peak Master at that time was not the first immortal pioneer.
On the contrary, because he cherished his life, he waited until he felt that his life was approaching before he swallowed the first undead insect in his life.
There are many other monks who have eaten undead insects like him.
However, he is the only one who has persisted in living till now.
The rest of the immortal monks chose to die for various reasons.
As long as you want to die, there are many ways to do it, not just physical death.
However, the real reason for the emergence of tears is not to kill these people.
Although the original undead hindered Sakura Dragon, they were not entirely without benefits.
Just like the Shenlong believers of the past, the Yujiamei clan, even if they gained immortality, they believed it was a gift from the dragon.
The reason why I waited for a full five hundred years and did not appear the Immortal Slash until three hundred years ago is because of another reason.
The dragon body revived.
Although it was only a broken body, the vitality of the Ashina place that produced the sacred tree such as the Immortal Sakura was so strong that the injuries that Sakuraryu himself thought could not be healed were gradually healed under the nourishment of this place.
The meaning of recovery.
Of course, this is not without cost.
As a price, countless fairies and precious vegetation that once lived in Ashina were transformed into dragon-bodied lives.
And as the recovery speed gradually accelerated, even the people in Ashina's area were slowly being drained of life as its body recovered.
At the same time, with the resurgence of life, a new consciousness was born in the originally confused dragon body, and even in the intermingling of countless souls and lives.
This created a conflict with Yinglong.
Because he abandoned his body in order to survive and was tied to the Changying Tree, the dragon soul could no longer return to its own dragon body.
Even in order to keep the dragon soul from being rejected by Chang Ying, it has to constantly absorb soul power and vitality to ensure that the dragon soul remains strong.
Now, a thief who also robs the life force has appeared in Ashina, and the one who competes with it for the life force is actually its corpse?
Who can endure this?
Because of this, Tears of Worship came into being and landed on this land.
As long as the undead are killed with tears of worship, the past dragon blood they absorbed will be fed back to the Sakura Dragon.
The speed at which human beings kill each other is much faster than the speed at which the Sakura Dragon and the dragon body slowly absorb life. Under the ebb and flow of one another, the Sakura Dragon naturally gains the upper hand in the fight with its own corpse.
Until... Master Xianfeng discovered this secret.
"Whether it is the dragon soul or the dragon body, it is slowly extracting the life and soul of Ashina's people."
"Only by letting them all die can the people of Ashina find true peace."
"And I will devour their remaining bodies and protect this land with my own body forever."
"Only in this way can the people of Ashina be freed from being enslaved by Sakura Dragon and Source Water."
"Without the driving force of Sakura Dragon, even the inner government will withdraw from these mountains."
"And I will kill all the immortals."
"No disaster, no war."
"There is no Yuzi Longyin controlled by Yinglong to disturb this land."
"Everything is going to be great."
"Over the years, Ashina's war with the inner government has allowed me to accumulate enough souls."
"If you have so much power, you can kill even the dragon that wins in the end, right?"
Master Xianfeng looked at the moon of eternal night in the distance and murmured silently.
He has told many, many lies in his life.
I have deceived many, many people.
Whether it was Ashina Isshin or the wolf, everything was accomplished under his intentional guidance.
Only when you face yourself will you tell the truth.
But even he himself doesn't know where he will end up.
After all, he had no confidence that he could master this huge power.
