Night Tales

Chapter 1 Reappearance of the Devil Baby

Think about it, since she came back, it has been 20 years since she stepped out of the Magic Brush Peak.The prosperity and mist of the past, the fast-paced grievances, seemed to her the dreams of her previous life: some clear dreams, some vague dreams, and some completely disappeared dreams.She walked through every inch of land she had ever walked, and never remembered a single word.After several efforts, she was no longer interested in everything, and was even more tired of life than her master who was over a thousand years old.Whenever I look at the endless abyss under my feet, I always have the urge to jump down.

That day, she really fell from the cliff in front of the house.Close your eyes, hear the wind whistling in your ears, and the birds neighing in the deep trees.In the end, there was only a sound of "dong", and she fell into the deep pool.

Embarrassed, he got up from the piercing pool of water, cursed bad luck, and after a lot of hard work, evaporated the water on his body, and climbed back to the shore.She wandered on the cliff, thinking of another way to end her life.

He came back, tired, bloody, and dilapidated, but as always, with a peaceful expression, a smile on his face, and a calm and breezy look.

She blinked for a moment, and mist from nowhere filled her eyes, and she only saw two overlapping phantoms.She wiped her eyes and opened them suddenly, only to realize that she was right.That person who has practiced immortality, the strongest person in the night realm who is unmatched by ten thousand people, has lost his aura at this moment and is out of his mind. She never thought that this guardian of the night realm, her master, would have his destiny to fall. one day.

In his arms lay a peacefully sleeping baby.

"You...you old bastard, what do you want to do?"

"Bring you back a child, do you like it?"

"I don't like it! Isn't she sealed in Ruilang? Why did you rescue her?"

"You will like her. Isn't it easy for me to enter Ruilang?"

"If she could get your life back. I think I'd like it."

"If I don't rescue her today, and someone else with evil intentions picks her up in the future, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Have you thought about the consequences of bringing her into the night realm? Have you felt the killing intent and hostility in her body? This is simply a monster!"

"He was a good-natured kid."

"I just saw a devil that hasn't grown up yet."

In her early years, she traveled to the mortal world and heard some legends: 200 years ago, a blood rain suddenly fell from the sky of the mortal world.Countless houses are corroded and collapsed, corpses are everywhere, rivers are poisoned, everything is dead, dead fish and rotten shrimps sink to the bottom of the water, birds and beasts run in the netherworld.The red water falling from the sky in the northwest land gathered into a waterfall.Countless corpses flowed down the blood-red waterfall, forming a huge pit of hundreds of miles.The pit is full of black air all the year round, and ghosts cry and souls howl.Within a thousand miles, people are extinct, and all living things will die if they get close.According to the explanation of the heavens, it was because an ancient magic baby came into the world. This magic baby was born with powerful power, and she was born to devour the world.The power of the whole family in the heavens failed to subdue her, and they failed miserably in the end, so they could only seal her in Ruilang.

She had been close to the pit of the sacred tomb, and all she could see was endless darkness, deep despair and unwillingness were hidden in the darkness, and the frightening sound of fighting echoed in her ears.Leaving from the giant pit, she suffered from a serious illness, her soul was restless all day long, possessed by demons, as if her soul had been taken away, she was in a daze for a year.

"Have you ever been to Ruilang? It's at the lowest part of the world, where the most evil miasma gathers. Gods with ordinary cultivation levels will immediately turn into black powder when they fall down. Even I can't get out of the body." But when I found her, the faint spiritual energy wrapped around her had already purified all the miasma within a hundred feet around her."

She was so shocked in her heart that she was speechless.

"The words of the heavens are not to be believed, and this child is not a magic baby. She has a huge and pure aura in her body, the aura that can transform this world. It is a pity that if she was not born in the heavens and did not suffer this kind of suffering, This world will definitely become another fascinating look.”

"However, I don't know anything about the child's origin."

"I don't know her real origin. All I can figure out is that she was born 1000 years ago. At that time, Shang Jun had joined hands with a foreign god, killed the king and usurped the throne, and won the ruling right of Tiangong. Shang Jun was cruel and violent. Li, evil and cunning, naturally he will not allow such a life from outside the sky to grow up safely. He has been looking for a way to destroy this baby. It has lasted for thousands of years, and the loss of soldiers and generals has finally aroused the child's rebellious heart and started killing. So much so that she can only be sealed."

"But now that the child has become possessed, what should she do if she wakes up and refuses to die?"

"No, her nature is still intact."

The man glanced at the sleeping child with eyebrows raised in his arms again, stopped talking, and walked deep into the forest. She followed, but she didn't know how he would deal with the child.He found a place with luxuriant aura and put her down.

"I untied her growth bone, and she will probably be able to wake up soon. This child bears the ultimate destiny of this world, but has experienced too many catastrophes. If there is a deviation in her heart, the world will perish."

"So you entrusted me with this task of saving the world?"

"Then who else can I give it to?" The man asked back, "As an emperor, I have a responsibility for the survival of this world. The existence of Shenbi Peak is not just to guard the night. But my life is dying, I am already unable to do what I want for the future. Your elder brother Xianyunyehe, if you don’t want to do this, this magical brush peak will eventually fall into your hands. In addition, Qingfeng’s child is born. I think she is very talented and can be taken as a disciple. The Magic Brush Peak will not have no successors."

At this time, his body was only in a translucent state, and the spiritual energy scattered in this mountain forest, spreading into the distance.He smiled and stroked her head, as gentle and loving as he was when he was a child: "I'm gone as a teacher, the war will start, you should plan early."

She suppressed tears, and there was infinite grief in her heart. She lost her relatives, lost her lover, and now lost her mentor. Suddenly, she felt that she had lost everything.He slowly disappeared in front of her, but she was powerless.

Suddenly there was a phoenix cry in the sky, and then the wind suddenly picked up, the forest birds were startled, and the vegetation slapped randomly.A huge black shadow spread over the head and descended from the sky. It carefully avoided the tall trees and looked for a foothold. Even so, it broke a few tree trunks.Phoenix "coo" twice, dragged its long tail, and walked towards the baby.Its long beak caressed the baby's face twice, opened it, and a drop of sweet rain fell on the baby's lips, and slid into the mouth along the corner of the lips.

Before leaving, Fenghuang glanced at her, fluttered his wings, and let out another long howl, but the howling sound was gloomy and lonely, but it seemed to contain infinite sadness.

After Fenghuang left, the baby woke up. She looked around vigilantly, and finally set a pair of eyes full of hatred and fear on her.

"What terrible eyes." Chen Xi marveled secretly.Let her see countless people, and it is hard to imagine what kind of tragic experience can polish such two eyes.Afterwards, she felt the hostility of the other party, the grass under her feet began to tremble slightly, and the wind picked up suddenly, blowing the dust and making her skin painful.There was a disturbing manic killing intent in the air, and Chen Xi knew it was a warning to her. Although she had suicidal thoughts several times, if she ended up being slapped to death by a baby, that would be too aggrieved.Chen Xi didn't dare to stay for long, glanced at her, turned and left.

Mortal Realm Palace

Today's morning sun rises very eagerly, as if a frog that accidentally fell into the stove was frightened and jumped more than three feet high.

Wei Mingyou hadn't warmed up the dragon chair under his buttocks, and the national teacher rushed straight into the hall regardless of the soldiers' obstruction.After seeing Weimingyou, he clasped his hands and bowed, saying: "The Emperor of Heaven has a decree. The sky core was robbed by the Eastern Night Realm yesterday. I now order His Majesty to quickly assemble an army of one million to attack the Night Realm and take back the Sky Core. Set off immediately. There must be no delay."

"Nowadays the local separatist regime is serious and the melee is endless, how can we gather 100 million troops?" Wei Mingyou said.

"Every world has been blessed by the heavens for tens of thousands of years. Your majesty has been granted the power of heaven and God, and has been favored by heaven. Today is the opportunity for the emperor to employ people. How can your majesty not repay the heaven's favor? Besides, the matter of the heavenly core is very important. Now that the disaster of blood rain 200 years ago, I hope His Majesty think twice."

"Although the population of the Night Realm is sparse, it is said that everyone is one against ten. Even His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is helpless against the Night Realm. How can we mortals defeat them?" the Prime Minister said.

"So the prime minister is going to resist the decree of heaven?"

"A million-strong army is the greatest strength we can muster. We don't know anything about the situation in the night realm now. If the army is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable. And even if we win, a million-strong army enters the Eastern Night Realm. If the Western Demon Realm takes advantage of How can we protect ourselves if we enter in vain?"

"This is not what the prime minister is considering. Now the top priority is to regain the sky core. If the sky core wakes up, the world will be greeted with her harshest revenge. What we will face at that time will be a hellish world." The world." After the national teacher said, he waved his staff in his hand, and a picture appeared in the sky above the hall: the strong wind mixed with red rain of blood, and the blood rain fell on the ground, corroding everything, and the houses stained with blood rain It collapsed in an instant, the trees withered in an instant, the skin and flesh of humans and animals were split open, and turned into black powder, exposing the white bones, and then the white bones turned black, and turned into smoke and dust when the wind blew up.

Seeing this vision, some timid officials crouched beside the pillars and vomited, and the hall was full of noise.

"If the doomsday comes, no one will escape death. Recapturing the sky core is our only way out."

Weimingyou's legs were trembling uncontrollably, his face was ashen, his eyes flickered, revealing endless fear, and he said for a long time: "The national teacher is going to destroy my mortal clan!"

"Your Majesty clearly learned that this old minister is saving our family. The Sky Core is a rare demon in this world. It is not the old minister's gossip to confuse the crowd. The demons in the night realm are ambitious and want to seize the Sky Core for their own. The Sky Core is sleeping now. Once awakened, it is definitely not something we and other mortals can deal with."

"Royal Father!" His Royal Highness, the young crown prince was clad in armor and came out with clasped fists: "I am willing to go out to conquer the night realm, eradicate the evil ways, and regain the sky core. Please issue an order from the royal father!"

In the past few days, there have been some subtle changes in the Magic Brush Peak. The vegetation is fresh and green, and the beasts are sneaking.The dying tree at the back of the house unexpectedly sprouted new shoots, and a large amount of spiritual energy gradually gathered here.Chen Xi has always loved drinking tea. Recently, she discovered that the tea leaves on Yashan Mountain taste a little better, and the fruits and vegetables have a different taste, so that she has nothing to do. She studied the recipes and cooked all day long. Tea, playing the piano, drinking alcohol, singing a song or crying loudly when drunk.How is the child now, but she dare not go to have a look, the atmosphere in that place is chaotic and turbulent, like a pot of boiling water, whoever gets close will be scalded into a dead pig danger, even if she spares her life, she doesn't want to die too ugly.

When the senior brother came back, there were a few drops of blood on his body.

"Where is Master's tomb?"

"There is no tomb."

"Like your style. What about the kid?"

Dust pouted towards the turbulent forest.

"You are comfortable, and you still have the mind to drink tea! Do you know how many ghosts and snakes are secretly ambush outside the Shenbi Peak?"

"Isn't there a senior brother here, it's all resolved?"

"Hey, just keep being lazy." Chen Xi went back to the house and took a teacup, and was about to tell him to taste the taste of this new tea, but when he stepped out of the house, he had already taken a sip from the teapot. exhausted.

"I've been researching something recently, are you interested?" the brother said.

"not interested."

Although Chen Zhi's response was very cold, Wei Ruan still took out an object from his bosom.From the surface, it is no different from ordinary stones, but it is as white as jade, and the surface is covered with dense tattoos, which looks extremely powerful.

"Pumice, what's so strange, the devil is everywhere, you still want to rely on it to fly?"

"Junior Sister, have you ever wondered how a mountain as big as Tiangong can float in the sky without falling down? When I flew to Tiangong, I did some research on the civil structure there, and found out that the structure of Tiangong is real. The complexity of it, layers of protection and heavenly spells are intertwined, but no one has studied it."

"So what do you gain, Senior Brother?"

"Remove those complicated things, think about it, can we also collect enough pumice stones to build a fairy mountain in the sky?"

"What is the use?"

"What if the fairy mountain can move?"

"Brother, you want to do something big!"

"Hey, Junior Sister understands me. I've already discussed this matter with Mu Liangxi, but it was delayed by another matter."

"what's up."

"Guess it."

Chen Xi leaned against the door, folded his sleeves with both hands, and said: "Master predicted that war would start before he died. The heavenly core must be brought to the night realm, and the heavenly realm must be in a hurry, but they themselves have no choice but to drive mortals to cross the demon burial forest. Attack the night realm."

"Haha, it's not bad, it's true that junior sister doesn't go out and knows everything about the world."

"How many troops did they send this time?"

"It is said that there are 100 million."

"This is going to be difficult."

"You don't know, soldiers and horses have been organized to support Yuque from all over the night realm. You know, none of us in the night realm are afraid of death. When we heard that we were going to fight the ordinary army, we rushed to Yuque without stopping. All the soldiers killed here will not be left behind!"

Chen Zhu's complexion suddenly became serious, and he didn't answer the words that he didn't want to engrave.

"What's the matter, junior sister?"

"Senior brother, do you think that the people who can fight in the night realm can defeat a million soldiers? You know, the population of the night realm is only 20."

"Sure, we can kill five of us, isn't it difficult?"

Chen Yu shook his head, was silent for a moment, and said, "Can you stop fighting recklessly?"

"You will kill your momentum like this. The grievances between the Night Realm and the Mortal Realm have been accumulating for thousands of years, whoever can bear it when the enemy comes at the door."

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Chen Yu looked at Tianchang and sighed, "Hey, that kid is really a disaster."

"I heard that the rose flower demon has always wanted to have a child with you. Although she is gone, you finally have a child."

Chen He glanced at him: "It's not that you don't know that I don't have any impression of that flower demon, so you came to provoke me. Well, go and change your clothes, you smell like blood." She waved her hand in front of her nose in disgust. waved.drive him away.

Senior brother was always a busy person, so he left in a hurry after changing his clothes.After the senior brother left, Chen Xi went around the outside of Shenbi Peak again, dismissed a group of people who came to spy, and went to the forest to have a look.The child was leaning against the tree, looking up at the sky, his eyes were deep and confused, like a vicissitudes old man who was about to die.Seeing Chen Zhu, he immediately became vigilant, his eyes were blood red, and the air around him began to twist, like a little monster that could go berserk at any time.Chen Yu sighed and left helplessly.

The mortal army is stationed in Wuwang City, the last city on the eastern border.There is a Wuwang Bridge outside the city, which spans thousands of miles of the Burial Demon Forest, and is the only road leading to the night realm.The young prince did not issue an attack order for a long time, and he seemed to have never heard how the envoys who came to supervise the battle urged him. Instead, he used spies to inquire about the situation in the night environment all day long, and studied Yuque's map with his staff.

Although the land of night is vast and boundless, the soil is barren, the ground is everywhere, and there are few people.Yuque is the closest to Mortal Realm, affected by the four seasons and sunshine, so the soil is relatively fertile and the population is concentrated.But for the mortal soldiers walking on the land of Yuque, they can only be described as "birds don't shit".

"Brother, do you think there is really someone in this jade palace? We've been walking for a long time."

"Shh, don't talk, do you see the farmland in front of you?"

"Where? Oh, they cultivate the land like this, no wonder they are so poor."

"Go, there must be someone ahead."

The two soldiers crossed the woods, descended from the mountain to the flat ground, and there was a small piece of land in front of them, which was full of wheat.This kind of wheat is different from those in the Mortal Realm. The plants are short, the leaves are thinner, and the rhizomes are vermilion.The two walked around the edge of the field, and finally found a sleeping woman under a boulder with a hoe resting on her head.

The two exchanged winks, pulled out their short knives, walked over quietly, and put the tip of the knives on top of the woman.

"Hey, ma'am, wake up."

The woman waved her hand, turned over, and underestimated: "Go away, there is going to be a war, so what are you farming?"

The soldiers looked at each other and smiled, and one of them stood up and gave her a kick in the buttocks: "Hey, get up, look who we are?"

The woman felt the pain, turned over and sat up with a whoosh, and was about to curse.The two short knives quickly reached her throat.I saw two men, one tall and one short, looking at her with ill intentions. Although they were wearing night costumes, they had strange faces and slightly dark skin. They were obviously not people from the night.

"Who are you... so you are two short-lived dogs."

"If you're dishonest, I'll show you what a real short-lived dog is!" said the short soldier.

"Even if my mother dies today, she will live longer than your father."

"So you don't intend to cooperate?"

"Cooperate, I can crush you dwarf with one hand." The woman said, and she was about to stand up, but the two short knives were getting closer, the woman sighed, and sat back again.

"Say, what is the population of Yuque and how many troops are there?"

"I don't know, my husband does."

"What do you know?"

"I knew you were not a good thing."

"Hey, I think you are toasting and not eating fine wine." The tall soldier said, stood up and kicked the woman in the waist again.The woman lay on her side on the ground gasping for breath with an "Ouch".

"You two dogs don't have any other skills, but you are very capable of bullying a farmer."

"Don't talk nonsense. Say, what do you know."

"What do you want to know?"

"Do you know the sky core?"

"She's at Magic Brush Peak."

"How do I get to Shenbi Peak? How is the formation arranged? How many troops are there? Who is in charge?"

"I haven't been there before. I only know that it is the northernmost part of Yuque, which belongs to the highest peak group of Cangyu Mountain. I heard that there are jade mines under the entire mountain range of Cangyu Mountain, but no one dares to mine it."

"why?"

"I don't know, I just know that Shenbi Peak is very mysterious and no one can enter it."

"You said your husband knows a lot? Take us to find your husband." The two soldiers stood up, still pointing their knives at her.

"Don't take the hoe!...Ah!" Before the soldier finished speaking, the woman's hoe had already swung over, and the back of the hoe hit a soldier's hip bone.Seeing the situation, another soldier stabbed out with a dagger, but before he touched the woman, his knee was already kicked.

"Ah!" The woman stood up fiercely, swinging a hoe and chopping at random. She had never learned kung fu, so she relied on brute force. The two soldiers changed into civilian clothes and threw away their long halberds in order to deceive others. I suffered a lot, entangled for a few times, but I didn't dare to pick up any more, so I had to retreat.

"Where are you running! Two short-lived dogs, stop for my old lady!" The woman shouted while chasing them.The two panicked and fled to the entrance of the village. When the woman saw the sheep entering the tiger's mouth, she shouted again and again: "There are ordinary dogs, everyone, come out and beat the dogs!"

After a few breaths, a circle of people surrounded the two of them, and they waved various tools at the two of them. In just half a stick of incense, the two living people had been chopped into meat.
