Chang'an City, or also known as Chang'an Ruins.
Li Daoyi and others arrived at Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, under the leadership of Lu Dongbin, and the scene in front of them made people full of emotions.
The city has been turned into ruins, the city walls have collapsed, the city is covered with plants, and the ruins are still filled with a red mist like the underworld. These are the grievances of the dead. Along the way, everyone has passed through many countries and regions. Cities are like this too.
"Hey, there's nothing left." Lu Dongbin sighed.
Then several people followed Lu Dongbin to a mountain fifty miles outside Chang'an City, called Mount Saga. There was a fairy cave in the mountain, where the Eight Immortals came down to earth to play and gather.
Move the huge boulder blocking the entrance of the cave and enter the cave. It is very empty inside. There are stone tables, stone beds, and stone chairs. There is also an alchemy furnace in the center of the cave, but it is rusty. It has obviously not been there for a long time. used.
"I was teased by Caihe and others because I was drunk, and they imprisoned me in the alchemy furnace. Who would have thought that I actually escaped because of this." Lu Dongbin touched the alchemy furnace and said sadly.
"Are they all dead?" Dongfang Bubai walked to the alchemy furnace and asked.
Lu Dongbin shook his head.
"I don't know. It was three days after I woke up with a hangover. The round stone outside was blocking the entrance of the cave. After I came out of the alchemy furnace, the mana in my body disappeared quickly. It took me a few days to adapt to my body. , after pushing away the boulder, I found that the outside was completely turned upside down. I searched everywhere and there was no trace of them, and they didn't leave any information. They seemed to have disappeared in a hurry. "
"To this day, I still don't know what happened, where those monsters came from, why my magic power disappeared, why Chang'an City turned into ruins, and what happened in heaven, I don't know anything." Lu Dongbin said. Then he knelt down on the ground and knocked his head on the alchemy furnace, tears streaming down his face, his expression extremely painful.
He had been suppressing it for twenty years, and today he finally met someone he could talk to, and he suddenly collapsed.
Dongfang Bubai wanted to help him, but was stopped by Li Daoyi. Lu Dongbin needed to vent at this time.
After a while, Lu Dongbin slowly calmed down and wiped his tears.
"Now, here it is for you. You won't cry after eating it. It's very sweet." At this time, the cute little hand handed a lollipop to Lu Dongbin's mouth.
Looking at the child with wide eyes and a smile on his face, Lu Dongbin couldn't help but hold the lollipop in his mouth.
"Is it sweet?" Mengmeng asked.
Lu Dongbin nodded.
"It's the extraterrestrial evil spirits. It's these things that destroyed this world." Only then did Li Daoyi say.
"Extraterritorial evil spirits? Are those monsters extraterrestrial evil spirits?" Lu Dongbin said blankly. Countless monsters have died under his sword over the years. Although these monsters have some strength, they seem to be inferior compared to the gods. How could they possibly destroy the world.
"No, those monsters were just infected and mutated. The real culprit is another creature and the dark matter they released." Li Daoyi explained.
"It is a substance that is extremely lethal to ascetics. Without preparation, all the mana in the body will be absorbed. Moreover, that substance is extremely contagious at the initial stage and can invade people's brains and infect people. And the creatures turned into bloodthirsty monsters," Li Daoyi continued.
"You are lucky. The alchemy furnace has isolated those substances. When you wake up, the infection is gone, but the ability to swallow mana is still there, so you just lost your mana."
"That's it." Lu Dongbin suddenly said after hearing this.
Then Lu Dongbin looked at a few people. Li Daoyi and others were very neat and clean, and they did not look like people who had experienced a major disaster.
"Hasn't your magic power disappeared?" Lu Dongbin asked.
Li Daoyi smiled slightly and then waved his hand. A powerful aura appeared in the cave. Although Lu Dongbin lost his magic power, his knowledge was still there. He felt a pressure that far exceeded that of Daluo Jinxian.
"thump."
Lu Dongbin knelt down and then saluted.
"Lu Dongbin pays homage to the Immortal."
"Haha, get up, you and I don't have to be like this." Li Daoyi regained his momentum and helped him up.
Lu Dongbin was a little confused. He didn't understand why Li Daoyi was so enthusiastic about him. He seemed to be very familiar with him since they were by the river.
"There is a cause and effect between you and me."
"Cause and effect?" Lu Dongbin asked.
"Yes, I owe you a favor." Li Daoyi smiled and nodded.
Lu Dongbin's pupils suddenly shrank, and a flash of memories flashed through his mind. It was a hundred years ago. He was drunk once in heaven. He seemed to have a dream. In the dream, he seemed to have done something. When he woke up, Later, I heard a man's voice in the dark, saying that he owed me a favor. At that time, I was teased by Tieguai Li.
"I remember, I seemed to have heard your voice back then." Lu Dongbin said in shock.
"Yes, that's me." Li Dao nodded.
"Okay, don't worry so much. Just know that we are not bad people." Li Daoyi patted him on the shoulder.
"Yes, thank you, Immortal." Lu Dongbin nodded quickly.
Another world, a demonic plane, a dark continent.
This is a world full of darkness. Two gray-yellow suns float on the dark continent, one on the left and one on the right. There is no night here, and the sun in the sky will never sink.
There are many strange-shaped creatures living on the continent. Different from the creatures that people are familiar with, these creatures seem to be closer to molluscs, and most of them have wings on their backs.
The entire continent is filled with an evil atmosphere. Tower-like buildings stand on the continent, densely packed, and the creatures gather under these towers. A kind of black energy flows out from the towers from time to time. , and was immediately absorbed by the evil creatures gathered below.
Just as these evil creatures greedily devoured this mysterious energy, a palm-sized black butterfly flapped its wings and flew cautiously towards one of the strange towers.
The movement of the butterfly is very small. Every time it flaps its wings, it pauses and tries to let its body glide into the air. When it is about to fall, it flaps its wings again, in order not to be discovered by those evil creatures.
The black butterfly is Xiaodie. After coming to this world, the little guy carefully observed it for a few days and found that the evil creatures here would gather under these towers at a certain time every day. When absorbing this energy, they He seemed to have fallen into a sleep-like state.
Even so, Xiaodie still didn't dare to be careless and flew towards the tower very carefully.
When she was about to approach, Xiaodie was blocked by the dark energy flowing out of the tower. After a moment of hesitation, a small, imperceptible barrier appeared around Xiaodie. The little guy suddenly waved his wings and rushed into the darkness. in energy.
"call out..."
Her small body passed through in just an instant, and the barrier on her body was completely eroded by the energy at the end of the crossing.
Xiaodie looked back at the black energy with some fear, only a little bit before she was finished.
Then Xiaodie looked at the tower. It was called a tower, but it was actually a huge pillar made of some kind of material. At the top of the pillar was a building like a prison cell, surrounded by fences.
Xiaodie looked back and looked down. Those evil creatures did not notice her, and then she flew towards the door of the building. The fence at the door was not protected by any barrier, so she, who was small, flew in easily.
Entering the building, there was a dark passage. With the help of faint light, the little guy flew in.
Soon, a dome-like circular hall appeared in front of us, and on the wall on the west side of the hall were human bodies hanging. These people were naked, with their heads lowered, not knowing whether to live or die. Black tubes were connected to the navels of these people, and these tubes extended into a circular hole in the center of the hall.
Xiaodie suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at other places in the hall. Her eyes finally landed on the lower left side of the hall, where there was a cage in the west and west. The cage was very big, and many people could be vaguely seen inside.
Xiaodie sensed the breath of life coming from below, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and she quickly flew down.
"Hey..." Tang Seng moved his sore body slightly, and then sighed softly.
"Master, are you okay?" a voice said from beside him.
"Amitabha, I can survive the enlightenment." Tang Seng reluctantly clasped his hands and said.
Then Tang Seng looked up and looked around. There were about a dozen people in the cage. He recalled that this place used to be overcrowded, but now there are only a few people. He didn't know how long his good luck could last. Every month those monsters would They capture people, hang them outside, and use something to absorb the energy in people's bodies. Only a handful of people can survive each time.
"Xuan Zang." At this time, a voice not far away sounded.
Tang Seng responded quickly.
"Bodhisattva, I am here."
That figure was Guanyin Bodhisattva. At this time, her clothes had become tattered and could barely cover her body. Her face was very thin, but she still remained sitting on the ground dignifiedly, instead of falling to the ground like others around her. .
Tang Seng wanted to move over, but unfortunately he was too weak.
"Look, it seems like something is flying towards us." Guanyin Bodhisattva said while looking outside the cage.
Tang Seng and Sha Wujing followed the gaze of Guanyin Bodhisattva and looked outside. They saw a creature that looked like a butterfly flying towards the cage.
"Butterfly." Tang Seng was a little surprised.
"Butterfly? Why are there butterflies here?" Guanyin Bodhisattva murmured.
Xiaodie also flew into the cage at this time, and her eyes met the Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Hee hee..." The little guy laughed happily. There was indeed a living person here.
Xiaodie flew to Guanyin.
"Bodhisattva, be careful." Tang Monk said urgently.
However, the next scene shocked me for the first time. I saw a pink light emitting from the originally black butterfly, and then a bright and beautiful pink butterfly appeared. Looking at this long-lost color, several people looked at it. There was a flash of excitement, and even the weak people on the ground struggled and twisted their bodies to look at the beautiful butterflies.
Xiaodie slowly flew to Guanyin Bodhisattva and stopped on her lap.
"Hehe, I finally found you." The little guy said very happily.
"Who are you?" Guanyin looked confused.
"The master asked me to come." Xiaodie replied.
"Master..." Everyone was even more stunned when they heard this.
"Oh, I am the Red Corpse God. You can call me Xiaodie. I am also from your world." Xiaodie said quickly.
"What?" Guanyin was shocked.
"Xiaodie, where did you come from?" Tang Seng asked quickly not far away.
"Well... to be precise, it came from the underworld. The master killed a very big worm monster there and sent me into the black hole. That's how I came here." Xiaodie said and flew away. He sat down on the Bodhisattva's shoulders and swayed his calves.
"The worm monsters are the ones outside, that's right."
"The black hole should be the passage through which we were captured."
"How is it possible? Has that powerful magic power not disappeared?"
"How is it possible? Even saints suffered disaster back then."
The originally lifeless people suddenly became energetic and started talking in low voices.
The Bodhisattva slowly raised his hand, and Xiaodie flew into his hand with understanding.
"I know you, you are Guanyin Bodhisattva and a good person." Xiaodie smiled.
Guanyin also showed a long-lost smile at this time and said softly.
"Is your name Xiaodie? Can you tell me who your master is? And why did he send you in? You know, this place is very dangerous."
"Well, I can't say, Xiaodie can't reveal the master's name at will." Xiaodie shook her head.
"I came in just to take a look at the situation here and see if there were any living people. Fortunately, I found it. There are many large pillars like this around. I think they are the same as here." Xiaodie continued.
"What can I do if I know? Once you come, you can't get out." Guanyin reached out and touched Xiaodie's head lovingly and sighed.
As soon as these words came out, the newly ignited hopes of everyone in the cage were instantly shattered. Yes, what could they do if they knew their situation? They couldn't get out at all.
"Master should be planning to save you." Xiaodie said.
"No matter how strong your master is, he is no match for these evil creatures. They can swallow mana and ignore the damage caused by magical powers." Guanyin said with a bitter smile.
"Huh, no way. The master is very strong, and the little master is also very strong, and that bald boy Saitama is also very strong. These things are simply not enough." Xiaodie said with her hands on her hips.
Seeing the little thing's determined look, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hehe, look at this." At this time, Xiaodie took out something the size of a small pearl from her arms.
"What is this?" Guanyin asked.
"Location bead." Xiaodie smiled.
