Chapter 452: The Demon King North of the Great Wall
Rehe Province, on an unknown hill behind Chengde Summer Resort.
It is worthy of being a "summer resort". The air in June is a bit chilly, and the mountains are quiet and rarely visited. A big and small red-spotted snake winds forward on the mountain path. Soon, it came to a closed statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and stopped crawling.
The red-spotted snake straightened up and shook its head left and right to look around. Behind him, two boys and girls happened to pass by and saw it.
"Oh, brother, there is a snake there!" the girl screamed and hid behind the boy.
"Haha, don't be afraid, this red and black snake is not poisonous. We just catch it back and make it a delicious meal for Dad and the others." The boy was not afraid of the red-spotted snake, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to catch the snake.
Seeing this, the girl was worried and said, "Oh my God? Can snakes really be eaten?"
"Of course." The boy smiled indifferently, "Dad once told me that there is not enough food these days. If you see a non-toxic snake, rat, etc., you can catch it and fill your family's stomach. If you are afraid, go away and let me do it."
The girl was so scared that she dared not come forward. She widened her eyes and looked at the boy leaning down and stretched out her hand towards the snake.
"Hehe, such a big snake can be enough for us to eat several meals. Dad will definitely be very happy. You can also learn to catch snakes and catch it..."
As soon as the boy's fairy tale finished, suddenly, the snake emitted a red aura all over his body. Although it had no wings, it also jumped up and wiped the boy's head and flew behind him.
When the snake landed on the ground, a neat wound appeared on the boy's neck. Then, his head and body were almost separated, with only a small part of the muscles remaining, and he collapsed softly to the ground.
"Brother--" The girl saw her brother die in such a terrifying way, so she was so scared that her legs became weak and she fell to her knees.
The snake had no intention of pitying the fragrance and jealousy, and took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on the girl. The girl immediately died the same way as the boy.
The red-spotted snake instantly seized two living lives, and then turned into a common man in a red light who looked like he was about fifty years old last year.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a cruel guy! I, the old bear who loves peace, can't stand it anymore!"
Just as the man had just completed his transformation, a burst of vigorous and joking praise came from behind him.
The man turned around and saw a black bear as tall as ten feet tall, standing behind him.
The man was just a little stunned, but without a fearful look. Then he asked the black bear, "You are Veres, right?"
The black bear snorted coldly and said, "It's me, it seems that you are Xiqu? I thought you were also a strong rhino. I didn't expect that Lao Xiqu actually chose such a snake as the successor. You traveled thousands of miles north of the Great Wall and said you had something to interview me. I'll give you a face for your senior Lao Xiqu. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Judging from the words of the black bear, this red-spotted snake is the reincarnated Xiqu, and the two had already agreed to meet here through their thoughts. However, no mention of his killing of Ge Duo, upgrading to the Demon King, and being reincarnated.
Xiqu did not respond directly to Veres' question, but instead asked, "I'll ask you first, are you still the demon king now?"
Veres simply responded: "Of course, why? Didn't Lao Xiqu tell you what he understands so well?"
Xiqu Channel: "You have been only asking about the world for a long time. This Great Wall has blocked the demonic energy in the north. Of course, we don't know the situation here. I want to tell you that the eldest emperor of Ge Duo is dead, and Lao Xiqu is dead. Now the demon world is facing an unprecedented crisis!"
Although Xiqu spoke extremely seriously, there was no panic on Veres' face, but he said slowly: "Well, it's been thousands of years, and the demon world has encountered many crises. The demon king and the demon king changed hands several times. I have been numb and I don't want to inquire at all... However, the old Xiqu has passed away, which is still a bit sad, so you should talk about it, what happened this time?"
Xiqu pretended to be nervous and said, "Pu Songling's descendant, a guy named Pu Zixuan, awakened the power of purification, and accidentally arrived at the Wuxiang Realm. He killed the old demon of Heishan, the Great Emperor of Ge Du and the Old Xiqu one after another. You can no longer watch it on the wall!"
Unexpectedly, Veres just curiously said: "Who is Pu Songling?"
Xiqu suddenly became angry and thought that this old guy was used to life in a fairy life. He didn't care about the world, but it was difficult to get into trouble. He had to explain patiently: "Pu Songling was a powerful purifier active in the era when the Qing army entered the pass. His strength was only stronger than that of the goddess of the Xiaoyue in history. The old thief Xu Fu was not weak. And the descendant named Pu Zixuan, if he was mature and mastered the power of the Wuying Realm, our demon world would usher in a catastrophe! Veres, I have witnessed his power with my own eyes. I know that you and I will act alone and are definitely not his opponent. Then I will talk to you about cooperation!"
"That's it..." Veres thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes turned, "No, since you said that King Ge Duo is dead, then why can't I feel that my power is weakened at all? Isn't Taixu Crystal still existed in this world?"
Xiqu was asked, of course he didn't know where Taixu Crystal was after he was killed by Pu Zixuan in Henan, and he didn't know that Ouyang Zhiguo became the new demon emperor and was buried underground forever, so he had to continue making up and said, "I don't know. Perhaps, after Pu Zixuan killed the emperor, he forgot to destroy Taixu Crystal. But the demon world is currently in crisis, which is a true matter. Otherwise, I would never run to Rehe to ask for help. No, to be precise, I want to join forces with you to get rid of Pu Zixuan and eliminate future troubles forever!"
Veres was still unmoved and said, "Even so, I am too lazy to care about these nostalgic business. I am only over three thousand years old and still have more than a thousand to live. Anyway, I hide in my comfort zone and live my comfortable life with Xiongzi and Xiongsun. Pu Zixuan can't find me, right? If you really want to find someone to join forces, you can go find Hanba. His strength is not inferior to me, Veres, right?"
Xiqu suddenly felt embarrassed. Of course, he knew Hanba's strength and knew that Hanba would be willing to deal with Pu Zixuan, but he killed Ge Duo in front of Hanba and became a complete "traitor". In this case, how could Hanba trust him?
However, the term "bear, bear, bear, grandson" still gave Xiqu a lot of inspiration. It seems that this old black bear who has lived for three thousand years should have already had a lot of children and grandchildren, and he is very satisfied with his current lifestyle.
So Xiqu followed his words and said, "Haha, of course I know the strength of Hanba, but I asked you to join forces because I thought that you must care about your bears and grandchildren. You probably don't know that one hundred and fifty years ago, there was a sect of Pu Songling, named Jin Wuyu. He was a material purification envoy. He passed down a pair of Pisces jade pendants, which could be used to control all wild monsters in the world. Now the psifish jade pendants are divided into two halves, one half in the hands of a purification envoy named Huo Zhizhang, and the other half in the hands of another person. Once the two halves are combined, then all wild monsters in the world will obey the order of the holder. I'm afraid many of your bears and grandchildren are ignorant wild monsters, right?"
This statement really worked. Veres, who had been ignoring his affairs, immediately changed his expression of surprise and said with a drooping face: "What? It turns out that there are so many purifying messengers in the world? There are such powerful magic weapons? Oh, no, no, I have 1,004 bears, bears, grandsons, and most of them have not yet produced such wisdom as me. If the purifying messenger controls his mind, it would be great? Tell me, where are they now?"
Seeing that Veres finally changed his words, Xiqu felt relieved and took advantage of the victory and chased afterwards: "As far as I know, the two teams of Pu Zixuan and Huo Zhizhang have been in Shandong before, but more than ten days ago, they were moving northward. It seems that they are planning to come north of the Great Wall. To the north of this Great Wall, except for the Liuquan Yagi in your body, I really can't figure out what else can attract them to come."
"Ah? Is that?" Veres was indeed shocked, and immediately closed his eyes and focused on inquiring. After a while, he opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Sure enough, there are a lot of purifying power, and they appeared in groups north of the Great Wall! Without further ado, go to my peaceful nest to discuss matters!"
