King of Black Mist

On January 20, 5562 in the Great Wasteland, Gonggong crashed into Mount Buzhou, causing the sky to collapse and the ground to tilt to the southeast. The Earth Queen Nuwa made stones to mend the sky and died of exhaustion.

From then on, on January 20th every year, people in the wilderness spontaneously worshiped Nuwa, among which the Nuwa family was the most solemn.

100 years after Mending the Sky, the Suiren clan rose up and became invincible for a hundred years. They sealed three of the ten ferocious beasts of the wilderness, and integrated their own powerful energy into the wilderness——

Any tribe that chants the "Secret of Endless Life" can use Suiren's Heavenly Fire to defend against enemies and not be disturbed by wild beasts.

In the 23rd year of the Great Wilderness, with the help of heavenly fire, the wilderness prospered. The Suiren family ordered all races in the world to come to the Holy Snake Mountain to worship Nuwa on January 20th.

On January 20th, the Suiren clan used the Heaven-given Human Emperor Sword for the first time to command the wilderness. On that day, whether it was the severe cold of the Arctic or the southern wilderness of the Fire Kingdom, flowers were in full bloom.

On the Holy Snake Mountain, Nuwa flowers bloom continuously, and winter turns into spring.

From then on, the Nuwa flower never withered again, and January 20th became the day to mend the sky.

But there is no eternal myth, and no matter how great your achievements are, they will be gradually forgotten.

Today, the significance of worshiping Nuwa in the Heaven-Mending Conference has faded. Various ethnic groups gather together to trade, compete, entertain, or discuss major wild affairs under the auspices of the Human Emperor (later the Emperor of Heaven).

Li Changzhou put down the animal skin that recorded the history of the wilderness, the oil lamp had been extinguished, and the sky outside the window was dim and bright, it was the moment before dawn.

Today is another January 20th.

He stood up, walked out of the hall, and stood on the platform in front of the hall.

One step away is a cliff, and under the cliff is a training platform. Even today, the boys and girls of the Nuwa clan are still exercising.

Wielding a black broadsword with both hands.

The black sword was made of black iron from the Yin side of Longshou Mountain. Li Changzhou's fist was exactly the size of a thousand kilograms.

"Tail!"

Snapped!

As if he wanted to beat someone to death, the elder whipped a girl away mercilessly. The girl flew out and made a small hole in the ground.

The corners of the others' eyes twitched, beads of sweat formed on their cheeks, and they subconsciously raised their tails.

The tail of the snake is rolled up with pieces of Weihe River rock cut into cubes, the size of a grain of rice weighing a thousand kilograms.

They wrapped their snake tails around the rock and practiced swords with both hands.

"As a snake tribe, your tail is naturally flexible, so you must train your hands! You must train your hands to be as flexible as your tail!"

The elder walked around, staring at each boy and girl like a poisonous snake - he was a poisonous snake.

Whenever her tail moved slightly, the boys and girls nearby would close their eyes tightly and prepare to be whipped.

"Okay, let it go."

"call!"

Before everyone could take a breath, the elder said again: "Become a body of five virtues and cultivate your true energy."

The expressions on those boys and girls were like the teacher who had handed out three test papers before taking out three more piles of papers before a three-day holiday. They were so painful that they no longer wanted to speak.

"Elder, can I continue to train my body without cultivating my Qi?"

"Yes, even if you practice Qi, why do you have to become a body with five virtues? Walking with your legs is slow and inconvenient, and your body will be as small as a child."

The elder smiled.

"No! Hide quickly!" A girl shouted.

The elder blew out a breath of true energy, and the strong wind almost condensed into a giant wave, rolling up the rocks and black iron swords on the ground, and smashing them towards the boys and girls like a heavy rain.

With just one breath, thousands of boys and girls fell to the ground wailing.

"Do you want to practice?" the elder asked slowly.

"Practice! Let's practice!"

The girl who had shouted "hide quickly" was the first to jump up, her snake's tail turned into legs, and her body that was more than two meters tall became only 1.6 meters tall.

Like playing with other people's legs, she put her legs into a cross-legged position and began to practice Qi.

The elder nodded: "Yi'er, you don't need to come tomorrow."

"Really?" The girl opened her eyes.

Bang!

Being whipped away by a tail.

"I don't have enough xinxing to clean the Holy Snake Mountain for a month." The elder ignored She Yi's screams and shouted to the others, "Are you dead? Why don't you get up!"

The boys and girls with bruised noses and swollen faces sat up one by one and turned into unfamiliar bodies with five virtues.

After the boys and girls began to practice Qi, the elder put away his angry expression and said slowly:

"In the ancient years, all things in the wilderness practiced with their true bodies. They breathed in and out with one breath, all false energy. Until Fuxi met the divine turtle in Luoshui, understood the heavenly book from the turtle's back, cultivated the body of the five virtues, and was the first to conquer the world. Refining the Qi, obtaining the Qi, and becoming the Emperor.

“Since then, all tribes in the wilderness have imitated it, but only masters of the imperial throne and a very small number of divine beings can cultivate the body of the Five Virtues.

"When Empress Nuwa is born, she will use her heavenly wisdom to develop the magical power of creation. From then on, all clans and tribes, as long as they have some talent and birth, can develop the body of the five virtues and cultivate the true energy.

"You snake cubs have been able to practice the five virtues since you were young, and you're still not satisfied? Practice hard for me!"

But today was the Tian Mending Conference after all. The elders only allowed everyone to practice for half of the usual time before announcing the disbandment.

The legs of the boys and girls turned into snake tails and they cheered away.

The elder raised his head and looked at Li Changzhou on the cliff. His previously fierce expression now became charming and bright.

Li Changzhou stepped out of the cliff and walked down step by step.

The strong wind blew up countless Nuwa flowers, and he casually picked one up in his hand.

"I picked them specially for you." He smiled and handed over the flowers.

Snake Man'er rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think I'm blind and didn't see that you picked it up from the sky?"

"Don't forget it."

Snake Man'er snatched it away: "Who said I don't want it anymore?"

Seeing Li Changzhou looking at her with a smile, She Maner wanted to slap his tail.

"Where will we go for a visit later?" Li Changzhou asked.

"Not today." Snake Man'er's face showed reluctance, "For the Heaven-Mending Conference, all Nuwa clan members must go to the Emperor Wa Palace. Zhoulang, you go to the Heaven-Building Hall first and wait for me. I'll go look for you immediately after I come out. you."

"Okay, you go first, I'll wait for you."

Snake Man'er hugged Li Changzhou and said goodbye reluctantly. After taking two steps, the snake's tail appeared and swam away quickly.

Li Changzhou walked slowly, left the platform, and walked down the mountain path.

At a glance, the path winds up the mountain like a vine, and martial arts training platforms are built on both sides of the path like leaves growing on the vine.

At first glance, it looks like terraced fields.

"Why so slow? I have something else to do today!" Snake Yi'er jumped out from behind a tree and threw herself into Li Changzhou's arms.

Li Changzhou smiled and hugged her slender waist, and walked around on the mountain path above the clouds.

She Yi'er put her arms around his neck and giggled, the girl's laughter clear and clear.

"I taught you right, right? I saw you were praised." Li Changzhou put her down.

"Huh!" She Yi'er smiled and turned her face to him.

"Huh?" Li Changzhou pinched the tip of her nose.

"I just hum!" She Yi'er asked him to pinch the tip of her nose, her sharp snake teeth showing in her smile, "It's because I'm smart, and it wasn't because you taught me well. I already knew those tricks a long time ago!"

"Yes, Miss Yi'er is the smartest and a born god. She just doesn't know if she has time to take a shower, change clothes, and go to Emperor Wa's Palace?"

"Ah!!" She Yi'er glanced at the sky and turned pale, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault! No, I have to leave quickly!"

"Where are you going?" Li Changzhou grabbed her thin shoulders and said with a playful smile.

"Let go, it's really too late. If I can't get to the Emperor Wa Palace before the worship, I will be kicked out of the Nuwa clan!"

Snake Yi'er broke free, swam its tail, and ran quickly toward the inn down the mountain road.

Arrived at the inn.

"Haha! Snake Yi'er, let you be arrogant!"

"Snake Lan!" Snake Yi'er was furious.

There was only the last bird left at the inn, and Snake Lan and her sisters and brothers were riding on it. If they couldn't get on the last bird, they would definitely be late.

"Get down!" Snake Blue's tail hissed, "Get down and I'll take you away!"

"She Lan, you dare not let me go, are you afraid that I will tell the elders?" She Yi'er said angrily.

"Complain? So what if you complain? The worst I can do is sweep Holy Snake Mountain for three years, and you, Snake Yi'er, my great genius, will be kicked out of the Nuwa clan!"

Snake Yi'er's face suddenly turned pale.

"Lie down or not?!" Snake Lan shouted.

"Get down!"

"Get down here, Sister Lan!"

The others shouted after him.

Snake Lan urged the bird, which took a few steps forward and then started to run.

"Are you lying down or not?" Snake Lan finally asked.

"Even if I die, I won't lie down for you!"

"I gave you a chance! Just die outside! Let's go!"

boom!

The bird rushed out of the platform, its huge wings blew strong wind, and Snake Yi'er's hair was ruffled. She clenched her fists and watched the last bird carrying Snake Lan disappear into the clouds.

She curled up on the ground and buried her face in the snake's tail.

Li Changzhou walked slowly with his hands behind his back, whistling all the way. When he arrived, he smiled and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Snake Yi'er grabbed a stone and threw it at him.

Li Changzhou stretched out his hand, grabbed the stone, and weighed it: "Beauty has a strong love, is this a token of our love?"

He put the stone into his arms with a playful smile.

"You're still laughing!" Snake Yi'er suddenly pulled up his upper body and beat his chest with both hands, "I was almost kicked out of the Nuwa clan!"

"If you don't laugh, is crying useful?" Li Changzhou grabbed her hands and wiped away her tears, "If you are kicked out, I will accompany you, and we will become rangers together, walking from the southern wilderness to the Beihai. , see all the scenery in the world.”

Snake Yi'er seemed not to see him and cried loudly.

After a long time, she had no choice but to accept the reality and asked with a crying voice: "Are you serious?"

"If I lie, let a meteor fall from the sky and hit me."

"Hmm." She Yi'er wiped her tears again, "Then where should we go first? I'm not familiar with the outside world at all."

"I don't know where to go. I used to go wherever the wind blew."

"Okay!" Snake Yi'er also has a determined character, gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, we will just follow the wind!"

"Haha!" Li Changzhou laughed.

Snake Yi'er also smiled slightly.

"But-"

"Have you regretted it?" She Yi'er asked immediately.

"Before I leave, I actually have a way to get to the Emperor Wa Palace before the sacrifice begins."

".What?!" Snake Yi'er's eyes widened.

Li Changzhou laughed loudly, hugged her waist, and rose into the sky.

The wind was howling, and the clear water in the Snake Valley covered his face, making it difficult for Snake Yi'er to breathe.

She saw the path stretching along, and the training platform that was usually unimaginably large was as small as a leaf. In the blink of an eye, the vines forming the training platform disappeared, and countless palaces, attics, thatched houses, and wooden houses appeared in her eyes like sesame seeds.

In the blink of an eye, these disappeared, and she saw the Holy Snake Mountain.

I saw that the grassland that I couldn't run out of before, the flowers that I couldn't see the edge of, and the Snake Valley that I couldn't swim to the other side had turned into pieces of streamers, and the beautiful patches on my clothes were like inlaid on the Holy Snake Mountain.

Blinking again, he turned his head and saw the countless snake mountains thousands of feet high appeared in front of him.

"Are we flying?!" she asked loudly, her expression still unresponsive.

"We are flying!" Li Changzhou laughed.

"Only immortal masters can fly, why can you fly?"

"Yeah, it's so strange. I'm obviously a god, why can I fly?"

The divine throne is above the immortal throne.

"If you were a god, I would be the emperor's daughter!" Snake Yi'er wrapped its tail around his waist and strangled him.

"Stop, stop, stop! If you tighten it again, it will fall off!"

He staggered and almost hit the top of a mountain.

"Ah!!" Snake Yi'er closed her eyes and screamed, tightening her grip even more.

She heard Li Changzhou laughing and opened her eyes in shock. The mountain was far behind her.

She heard Li Changzhou sigh again: "The Palace of Emperor Wa is right in front of you. Once you go up there, you can't follow me into the wilderness."

On the top of the clouds, the ancient Wahuang Palace stands between the clouds, with cornices and horns, obscured by white clouds.

"Are we here?" she asked Li Changzhou in a daze.

"Even if I take you back to take a shower now, it's still enough time to change clothes!" Li Changzhou laughed.

Snake Yi'er finally believed that this was not a dream and kept shouting.

The wind bird in Li Changzhou's sleeves smelled the breath of wind, and rushed out of his sleeves, chirping happily around the two of them.

After breaking through the clouds, Li Changzhou and Snake Yi'er landed in the bird's landing area. At this time, many people were slowly coming from a distance one after another.

She Yi'er looked at the crowd and said, "It seems like it's time to go back and take a shower!"

"do you want to go?"

She turned around and saw Li Changzhou looking at her with a smile. Jinwu was getting up from the hibiscus tree in the East China Sea, and golden light was shining on him.

"Hmph!" Snake Yi'er snorted again, turned around and left.

After taking two steps, she suddenly turned back: "That stone——"

Li Changzhou shouted: "It's mine!"

She Yi'er laughed until her back hurt: "Okay, it's yours! Fool!"

She walked away with a smile, leaving laughter all the way. When she was about to enter the Emperor Wa Palace, she turned around again and looked in the direction of Li Changzhou.

He's still there!

Snake Yi'er's heart was suddenly filled with joy.

White clouds were lingering, and his figure was looming in the mist. For some reason, She Yier's joyful mood gradually dimmed. She had a feeling that he would disappear in the mist the next moment.

Li Changzhou stood there and waited for a while, but before Yang Qinglan could see him, he inevitably left with some melancholy in his heart.

Flying on the clouds in the sky, he thought of his sister and Yaochi again. They might already be in Butian Palace, so he couldn't help but speed up.

The Butian Palace was built on Nuwa's stone refining ground. The fire here had long been extinguished, and the rocks formed by magma were jagged and strange.

There are still remnants of earthly fire, beating like a heart in the stone.

The white Nuwa flowers spread out like flowers growing on a wound. When the wind blows, the petals are like rain.

Nuwa's people dissected these stones and built them into a natural open-air hall. The hall was divided into three emperors and five emperors, as well as eight wastelands and four seas. They also prepared the "Yunhai Palace" for some famous rangers.

Li Changzhou glanced at the empty Human Emperor Palace. Instead of going to the Earth Emperor Palace where Nuwa was supposed to go, he turned around and went to the Yunhai Palace where the Rangers were supposed to stay.

Within the hall, there are layers upon layers, divided into thousands of layers, and countless long snake-shaped tables are displayed on each layer.

Li Changzhou waved his sleeves and sat down in front of a white snake table. There was a snake mouth on the table, and wine bottles, wine glasses, and some immortal jade items came out of it.

He picked up the wine flask and poured himself a glass. He was staring at the wild beauties in the various halls when suddenly the high-pitched sound of animal horns broke through the air, the sound was like the roar of the sky, and the white clouds flew away.

The welcoming messenger shouted:

"Gongsun's Yellow Emperor, Shennong's Yan Emperor, Gonggong's Water God, and Zhu Rong's Fire God are here!"

The three emperors and five emperors, all over the world, all stood up.

"Hahahaha!" Before he saw anyone, the rich laughter had already spread throughout the Butian Hall, "No need to be polite!"

Li Changzhou was just about to see what Yanhuang looked like when he suddenly heard a ranger next to him whisper to his friend:

"The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor have never been against each other. Since the death of the first emperor Gonggong and Emperor Zhurong in the ancient war, the two clans have been on the same page. Why are they together today?"

A group of people walked in from outside the hall.

Everyone was about to salute when three people suddenly came out and knelt in the center of the hall.

"His Majesty the Yellow Emperor! His Majesty the Yan Emperor! His Majesty the God Gonggong! His Majesty the God Zhurong! The Suiren family - there is a grievance to be redressed!"

The hall exploded!

Suiren's family? !
