Chapter 112 Underwater Maze (3)
Chapter 112 Underwater Maze (3)
With a sinister look in his eyes, Chigui asked Qinggui on the shore coldly: "Right now, it is summer in Xiyunjian, but here the day and night alternate every day. How can I stay in the sun to successfully survive the tribulation?"
At this time, he heard Qinggui say, "In order to help you successfully transcend the tribulation, I deliberately practiced the art of alternating day and night. If I recite the incantation, when I open my eyes it will be day, and when I close my eyes it will be night. It will only be forty-nine days. I can keep my eyes open until you have completed your practice and successfully transcended the tribulation."
"..."
Chi Hui's expression froze, but after hearing this, he just smiled coldly.
That sinister smile was hidden beneath the bright peach blossom petals.
His voice was also cold: "Long Su, Long Su, you and I agreed a hundred years ago that we would practice together in this stream and cloud stream, ascend together, and transform into dragons together. Do you still remember this agreement?"
The green snake named Long Su nodded and said sincerely, "Of course I remember. If I had forgotten, I would not have traveled across mountains and rivers to find those seniors for you to seek ways to help you transform yourself and successfully overcome the tribulation. In short, I will keep this promise to you for the rest of my life. If you have made up your mind, I will recite the spell for you starting from tomorrow morning."
……
That day, Chigui apparently agreed to Qinggui's proposal to help him overcome the tribulation.
The next day, day came.
As agreed, Qing Hui waited by the stream early. He sat cross-legged on a stone, closed his eyes, and waited to recite the spell.
At this time, someone approached from behind. Qinggui knew it was Chigui, because there would not be another person in this beautiful but deserted Xiyunjian. So, he turned his back to Chigui without any precautions and said, "Here he comes. If you are ready, let's start."
At this moment, Qing Hui felt as if there was a shiny object shaking in front of his eyes. He had no time to react and his eyes were instantly blinded by a dagger!
"Ahhh!" Qinggui screamed in pain and rolled off the stone to the ground due to the severe pain in his eyes.
He covered his eyes and rolled over, his spiritual power running wildly throughout his body, and the severe pain almost caused his magic power to backfire on him!
That dagger is not an ordinary dagger from the human world, but a dagger with a spiritual spell. Anyone scratched by it will feel extremely painful and will never be able to open their eyes again!
“Haha…hahaha!” Chigui, who was holding a dagger and standing next to Qinggui, began to laugh wildly with pride, “Hahaha! Why did you learn this one trick when there are thousands of other magic techniques? You want to frame me with your eyes open? You clearly know that I am in pain all day long from being burned by the sunlight! But you insist on keeping your eyes open and making it always daytime here! Forty-nine days? Long Su, have you ever tasted that feeling? It’s like falling into the flames of hell, burning my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and my internal organs are about to melt! Why did you want to frame me! You clearly agreed that you would transform into a flying dragon with me! Come down to earth together to make clouds and rain, and bring blessings to the people of Dawn! You hypocritical liar!”
"You...ah——!" Qinggui was shaking with pain all over and even fainted from the pain.
Seeing that he was indeed seriously injured by the spiritual spell on the dagger, Chi Fei's eyes were full of ferociousness and his face was full of grim smile. He wanted to stab him hard in the heart again!
They are both vipers, but why is the green viper the chosen one of heaven, gifted with extraordinary talents, destined to become a dragon, while the red viper must never see the light of day, live forever in the mud, and become the laughing stock of others!
At this point, Long Su, as his close friend, is still adding insult to injury. He is mocking his lack of talent, his despicable blood, and the fact that he can never fly into the sky and can only stay in the mud of the river for the rest of his life!
Thinking of this, Chi Hui stabbed hard with the knife!
……
After hearing this story, Mu Hanxing sighed and his expression became heavy. Jing Chen next to him put his hands in his sleeves. His face was calm, but there was some emotion in his eyes, as if he was also quite emotional.
Mu Hanxing saw that Long Jin was frowning, and the more he talked about this matter, the more furious he became. She asked him, "Long Su... is that Qing Viper your father?"
Long Jin said: "Yes, these are what my father told me when I was a child, but these paintings are not real history!"
Long Jin pointed at the stories on the murals, and was so angry that his teeth were shaking. "These paintings depict the red snake and my father practicing together in the Stream Cloud Stream, and my father laughing at him for staying in the water all day to avoid the sun by the stream. They also depict my father flying in the sky, looking down at him, and mocking him for not being able to fly! When did my father ever laugh at him? You can't judge a gentleman by your own standards! If I ever meet the descendants of the red snake, I will definitely make them pay the price!"
After hearing this, Mu Hanxing was of course clear in her mind. This was the territory of the Chigui tribe. How could the murals record the real history? Even the murals built in the emperor's ancient tomb only depicted the majestic and heroic figures of the emperor when he was young and conquered all over the world and toured around the country.
History is written for future generations to read. Craftsmen draw what the ancestors want the descendants to see.
"I believe you." Mu Hanxing looked at Long Jin firmly and said to him.
Even though the mural was right in front of him, Long Jin had a different story.
One story, two versions.
But Mu Hanxing believed in her intuition. She felt that Long Jin was not a sinister and cunning person. Although he had a bad temper, he was also straightforward and sincere. He felt very much like the old Dragon King from a thousand years ago - Long Su.
Long Jin was stunned. He thought Mu Hanxing would not believe him so easily, so he asked again, "Are you really willing to believe me and not these murals?"
"Of course, this is the same as the fact that what is recorded in history books may not be true history. From a certain perspective, the so-called history books are nothing but the fabrication of the victors." Mu Hanxing said calmly.
After saying that, Long Jin and Jing Chen were stunned again.
Mu Hanxing didn't care about much else. After hearing this story, she became more determined to dig out the snake's nest.
She continued to ask Long Jin: "Then how did your father survive? Has his eyes been cured?"
At this moment, Long Jin's mood calmed down a little, mainly because the feeling of being trusted unconditionally made him very happy and satisfied.
He said, "That day, my father almost died at the hands of that red viper. Fortunately, the old elders of the Red Viper Clan were afraid that my father might perform a spell improperly and affect the rotation of time in Xiyunjian, so they came to take a look. As a result, they happened to see the scene where the red viper was about to stab my father to death, and they rescued him in time. Later, although my father's eyes were cured by those elders, he suffered from eye disease for hundreds of years and no longer had the ability to control the alternation of day and night. His eyes would often ache, and no medicine could cure it."
Mu Hanxing sighed. The old Dragon King should have been a passionate, loyal and righteous man who kept his promises. However, he was misjudged by a villain. It was all a misunderstanding...
