Origin

Hearing what Li Wanzi said, Wu Zhongyuan was horrified. He hurriedly put on his clothes, put his bow and arrow on his back, grabbed the dragon stick and pulled out the door.

"When did it happen? Where did you get the news?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Li Wanzi, "What is attacking it? How many enemies are there?"

"Tell me on the way." Li Wanzi turned and walked towards the door.

At this time, there were dozens of horse-holding warriors standing outside the courtyard, all of whom had come from various places to participate in this morning's meeting. After Li Wanzi went out, he introduced Wu Zhongyuan to everyone. After everyone greeted them, he turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan, " Where is your mount?"

Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and pointed south, "We have been sent out to open up the road."

"Get on the horse." Li Wanzi waved to everyone.

There were spare horses, Wu Zhongyuan and Li Wanzi each rode one, and they galloped out of the city with everyone.

While speeding, Li Wanzi briefly explained the situation to Wu Zhongyuan. The accident happened half an hour ago. The southernmost siege of Jiumu was only a few dozen miles away from the crossroads where Suzaku was. The tribesmen found that Nanguan was in flames and went to check. When they got close, they found a large number of monsters besieging Suzaku, so they sent flying messenger birds to inform Yicheng, who in turn reported to Yuancheng.

Since it was a letter passed by a letter bird, due to space limitations, it is not possible to report in great detail. It can only be reported in general. In addition, Li Wanzi had previously called all the warriors from all the cities and besieged cities in Jiu Mu to come over for a meeting. The soldiers stationed at the besieged city The warrior was not in the village at this time. The situation was reported in writing by the soldiers, and the description was not very accurate.

This place is about three hundred miles away from Nanguan. There are mountains in between, and the situation in Nanguan cannot be seen. Since the accident happened half an hour ago, we don't know what the battle situation is at this time.

As early as the beginning of the departure, Wu Zhongyuan received the divine blessing from Dasha. After the horses ran thirty miles, Dasha flew from the northwest. Wu Zhongyuan abandoned the horse, jumped up and jumped on Dasha's head.

Li Wanzi is a master of purple energy and can fly through the air. The reason why he rode a horse before was just to accompany Wu Zhongyuan. After he changed his mount, he also raised his energy and lifted up. He summoned armor from mid-air, put it on his body, and flew with him.

Wu Zhongyuan instructed Dasha to flap his wings and climb higher. When he reached a high place, he could vaguely see a subtle light in the area where Nanguan was located. The light could be seen from such a distance, indicating that the war there had not stopped and was still continuing.

Li Wanzi has profound cultivation, clear ears and clear eyes, and can see relatively clearly, "Where does the blue light come from?"

"What?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked at her.

Li Wanzi said, "In addition to the blazing flames, there is also blue light flashing in the distance."

"Blue light?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned in confusion. Blue light is not uncommon, but there does not seem to be blue light that can be observed with the naked eye in nature.

Three hundred miles is both far and near. A quarter of an hour later, the two of them arrived a hundred miles away from Nanguan. From here, they could clearly see the flames in the area where Nanguan was located. Li Wanzi had not seen it wrong before. The firelight was indeed mixed with blue light, a light blue light.

"I'll go check it out myself. You go to Daze and tell Wu Qin." Li Wanzi said loudly.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Li Wanzi didn't want him to put himself in danger, so he waved his hand and drove Dasha forward.

While moving, Wu Zhongyuan looked closely at the light in the distance. Although the area where Nanguan was located was raging, it did not trigger a large-scale wildfire. The area covered by the fire was in a semicircular shape, with a range of about a hundred feet. If not controlled, the flames would Burning will never be so regular. If nothing unexpected happens,

The firelight was shrouded by a spiritual energy barrier.

The position of the blue light has always been fixed, about three feet above the ground. Although the light is dazzling, it is not erratic. This shows that the blue light is not a living thing. If it is a living thing, the light cannot be fixed.

"The fight happened inside the spiritual energy barrier." Li Wanzi said loudly.

"Who set up the spiritual energy barrier?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. He and Li Wanzi were both moving quickly. The wind was noisy and they needed to speak loudly.

"Such a huge aura barrier must have been set up by Suzaku," Li Wanzi said. "It set up the barrier to trap the enemy and prevent them from escaping and then invading the Central Plains."

"What's inside?" Wu Zhongyuan squinted and looked into the distance. At this time, he could already see many huge black shadows colliding and moving in the spiritual energy barrier.

Li Wanzi didn't answer, maybe because he couldn't see clearly, or maybe he hadn't seen it before.

The closer the distance, the more dazzling the blue light. This intensity of blue light can seriously damage people's vision. When they were still fifty miles away from Nanguan, Wu Zhongyuan finally saw the general outline of the blue light clearly.

Some things don’t need to be seen very clearly. You only need to see the outline to know what they are. The blue light that is three feet high is a huge vertical halo. The halo spreads from east to west, from south to north, in a circle, and its diameter is also three feet. A large number of black shadows rushed out of the blue light, screaming and clashing from the blazing spiritual energy barrier.

After reaching ten miles away, the two of them could go no further. The blue light and fire were so dazzling that they could hardly even open their eyes.

The two landed from the top of the mountain. Dasha also hated this kind of blue light. After putting down Wu Zhongyuan, he eagerly dug a hole nearby and drilled his head into it.

Everyone can get angry, but no one can really get angry, except Suzaku, who belongs to the fire attribute. Suzaku is still squatting on the dead tree at this time, with blazing fire all over his body. The flames are filled with a huge aura barrier. Because the temperature of the flame is too high, The black shadows that rushed out of the blue halo were unable to get close to it. In order to avoid the flames, they fled to the edge of the aura barrier, howling and charging from there, trying to break through the barrier and escape from the sea of ​​fire.

Because the brightness was too high, I couldn't see clearly what the black shadows coming out of the blue halo were, but the black shadows were not of ordinary size. Some were very big, and some were relatively small. The screams they made before being burned to death. The sounds are also different. Even if they are ten miles apart, it is still very scary to hear them faintly.

For more than ten minutes, neither of them spoke. Li Wanzi saw it more clearly than Wu Zhongyuan, but Wu Zhongyuan understood better than her.

In the end, it was Li Wanzi who spoke first, "I have never seen these monsters appear out of thin air before."

"They didn't appear out of thin air." Wu Zhongyuan slowly shook his head.

Li Wanzi was confused and tilted her head to look at him.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but even if he said it, Li Wanzi would still find it difficult to understand that this blue halo with a diameter of nearly ten meters was the exit of a black hole, connecting to another time and space.

He had never thought that the enemy would come from another time and space before, but although he was surprised, he was not very surprised. After all, he also returned from another time and space. Since he could come back from five thousand years later, the enemy might also come from another time and space. came here.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't speak, and Li Wanzi kept looking at him. Wu Zhongyuan obviously knew something, but he didn't tell her.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Li Wanzi had been looking at him. After pondering for a moment, he finally came up with an explanation that Li Wanzi could understand, "They were sent here from somewhere else."

"Where do they come from?" Li Wanzi asked.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and asked, "The Bear Clan has a magic called the Netherworld of Life and Death. Have you ever heard of it?"

Li Wanzi nodded. The Netherworld of Life and Death is to transport the opponent to an unknown netherworld so that they can never return.

Wu Zhongyuan did not continue. He only knew that the blue halo was the exit of the black hole. He did not know what the other time and space existed.

At this time, there were still monsters jumping out of the blue halo, but the number was significantly reduced, which made the two of them secretly relieved. They couldn't get involved in this kind of war, no matter how long it lasted, and no matter how many monsters came out, It can only be resisted by Suzaku alone.

After another moment, the blue halo suddenly disappeared.

However, the flames within the barrier did not extinguish, but continued for several minutes before gradually converging and even extinguishing completely.

The flames emitted by Suzaku were extremely hot, and all the corpses of the burned monsters were incinerated, including those who died on the edge of the spiritual energy barrier.

After the flames extinguished, the spiritual energy barrier disappeared, the mountain wind blew, and the fine ashes scattered with the wind.

I don’t know whether it was the dead tree itself that could withstand the fire, or whether Suzaku left it deliberately. After the fire, it still stood. Suzaku crouched on it with his wings folded and his head lowered, motionless, as if nothing had happened before.

At this moment, the two of them came back to their senses and let out a deep breath at the same time.

Seeing the worried look on Wu Zhongyuan's face, Li Wanzi said with relief, "Although it is dangerous, it seems to be able to handle it with ease. It should have experienced similar things many times."

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "If this situation has happened many times, why haven't the nearby besiegers noticed it before?"

"The blue light I saw before was very dazzling. If you look at it for a long time, you will be blind. Only the Suzaku is blind among the four divine beasts. If the blue light had never appeared before, it would not be blind." Li Wanzi said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It may have happened before, but not this frequently, and it probably didn't last this long."

Li Wanzi didn't answer. Now the facts are as obvious as lice on a bald man's head. The enemy's temptations are becoming more and more frequent. Storms are coming and a war is coming.

"Do you want to come forward and talk to it?" Li Wanzi pointed at the Suzaku in the distance.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. After the fierce battle, Suzaku looked very tired. It was better not to disturb it for the time being.

"Let's go back." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Dasha was like an ostrich, with his head in the hole and his body exposed. He sensed Wu Zhongyuan's call, pulled out his head, and fluttered his wings into the sky.

Wu Zhongyuan made a gesture to Li Wanzi, indicating that she would ride back together.

After Dasha was so high, Li Wanzi said, "Earlier you asked me about the Six Paths. I have asked an older person to ask again in detail. It is indeed the Six Paths of Man, Beast, God, Ghost, Demon and Demon."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Li Wanzi added, "These six paths are actually two double paths."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't quite understand and tilted his head to look at her.

Li Wanzi explained, "The six realms are divided into humans, the two realms are beasts, the two realms of gods and ghosts are differentiated by humans, and the two realms of demons are differentiated by beasts."

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer immediately, but thought carefully in his mind. What Li Wanzi meant was that gods and ghosts are transformed by humans, while demons are transformed by beasts. Gods and ghosts derived from humans and demons derived from beasts , together with humans and beasts, form the Six Paths.

Li Wanzi added, "According to what you said before, the blue halo is the gate of the Netherworld, so the three gates in the east, west and north are guarding places similar to this one."

"The four divine beasts guarding the four realms should be the gods, ghosts and demons." Wu Zhongyuan said, these four realms are all in other time and space, while humans and beasts are in this time and space.

"It's a pity that the four mythical beasts have always kept secrets and rarely given any guidance. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to make such troublesome guesses." Li Wanzi turned around and looked back.

"It's already good that they can fulfill their duties," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "They won't give us too much guidance."

"Why do you say this?" Li Wanzi asked.

"Because they are not human beings..."
