"Are you asking me to take care of Miss Yang?"
From Yang Jian's determined eyes, Zhou Ji guessed what he wanted to ask.
Yang Jian was a little surprised, then pursed his lips, nodded and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Zhou."
Yang Chan realized that this trip was dangerous. Although she longed for a family reunion and rescued her mother as soon as possible, she did not want to see her only relative in the world die. With tears in her eyes, she worriedly said: "Second brother, Even if you fail to save your mother this time, you must come back alive! My father and elder brother are gone, and I don’t want the only remaining relatives to leave me.”
Zhou Ji watched the two brothers and sisters bid farewell to Yiyi, closed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help recalling the memories of this world that had been dusty for more than a thousand years. That memory was only endless quarrels caused by trivial things, and Sebastian The helpless self with ears huddled in the room.
Although he has long been relieved of these things, his original family still subtly affects his character.
"Okay, I promise you."
Zhou Ji slowly opened his eyes, the memories of the past gradually faded like a tide, his eyes stayed on the stone ax in Yang Jian's hand, he raised his eyes to look at Yang Jian and said, "I promise you to take care of Miss Yang Chan, but you have to live to bring the stone ax Come back and lend me."
"Thank you."
Yang Jian glanced sideways at the crystal-clear surface of the axe, smiled, and bid farewell to Yang Chan, then took the roaring dog up into the clouds and flew towards Taoshan.
Yang Chan chased a few steps away, looking at the direction where the second brother disappeared, silently praying for his brother's safe return.
Three days passed in a flash, and there was only one day left before Daoist Taiyi finished casting the spell. Nezha's soul gradually merged with the lotus incarnation. At the critical moment, Yang Chan, who was standing by the lotus pond, suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from the entrance of the cave.
Yang Chan felt an inexplicable throbbing and uneasiness in her heart, she clutched her chest, and a tear fell uncontrollably from the corner of her eye.
Zhou Ji appeared in a flash, thinking that she remembered the psychological shadow of being scorched by the real fire of the sun by the Great Golden Crow last time, and with a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a mana barrier to block the rapidly rising heat, and asked sideways, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Yang Chan herself couldn't figure out where this indescribable sadness came from, she shook her head lightly, frowned and said, "It's getting hotter and hotter here, so the Great Golden Crow couldn't have found this place, right?"
"Probably not. I don't seem to perceive the existence of the breath of the Great Golden Crow."
Zhou Ji shook his head, glanced at Taiyi Daoist who was still casting spells on Nezha, and told Yang Chan to stay in the cave and not go out, then disappeared in a flash and came outside the Golden Light Cave.
Dazzling rays of light projected on the earth, Zhou Ji raised his eyes to look at the sky, his pupils shrank suddenly, and saw ten suns appearing in the sky at the same time, forming a ring shape and flying towards the distance. , although it was only affected, the vegetation in the valley seemed a little sluggish and scorched. If this continues, it will definitely trigger a severe drought in the world.
It can force the Heavenly Court to come to the world in ten days, no need to think that it has something to do with Yang Jian splitting the mountain to save his mother.
Fengshen Yanyi and myths and legends don't have this, and Zhou Ji never thought that Heavenly Court would be so decisive in order to destroy Yang Jian.
Zhou Ji returned to the Golden Cave and told Yang Chan about his guess. Yang Chan was panicked and confused.
At the beginning, the Big Golden Crow chased and killed their brothers and sisters all the way, in her eyes it seemed invincible, and then the three big Golden Crows squatted to guard Yuquan Mountain, Zhou Ji Nezha took her all the way to Qianyuan Mountain, and hid at the side of Daoist Taiyi. was able to get away.
Now that the top ten Golden Crows are dispatched, they still don't know what's going on with the second brother and mother, which makes Yang Chan uncontrollably frightened.
Yang Chan lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhou Ji, clutching the corner of her Taoist robe, looking like she wanted to say something, but she was a little bit embarrassed.
Nezha has already paid with his life what he owed.
Zhou Ji has helped their brothers and sisters too much these years, just as Yang Jian didn't want to wait for Brother Nezha to come back to life before going to Taoshan to save his mother, she also didn't want to drag Brother Zhou down because of her family affairs.
Yang Chan took a deep breath, made a decision in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhou, Nezha will be resurrected in one day, and he must not go on business trips during the period. Please protect her here. I have something important to do and I need to leave for a few days. sky."
Zhou Ji took a deep look at Yang Chan, how could she not know where she was going, sighed lightly, and said with a faint expression: "Miss Yang, stretch out your hand."
Yang Chan tilted her head in doubt, raised her eyes to look at Zhou Ji's eyes, and out of unconditional trust, spread her palm and handed it over.
Zhou Ji closed his eyes slightly, and opened them slowly, blue-purple arcs flickered in the depths of his pupils with the blinking of his eyes, "This is my combination of the magic formula of subduing demons and thunder and Shangqing Poyun sword. The 'Shangqing Shenlei' I have learned and deduced can roughly block the full blow of the Great Golden Crow."
Zhou Ji gently held Yang Chan's Rouyi, and pointed it as a sword, drawing a faintly visible and mysterious thunder pattern in her palm.
Seeing that Zhou Ji didn't dissuade herself, Yang Chan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the thunder pattern on the palm of her hand, folded her hands and held it to her chest, feeling the remaining warmth on the back of her hand, bowed her head and said a word of thanks.
In a blink of an eye.
Except for Nezha who was unconscious, only Zhou Ji and Daoist Taiyi were left on Qianyuan Mountain, watching Yang Chan leave, Zhou Ji returned to the cave as if nothing had happened, found a futon and sat cross-legged, calming down , Slowly settled down, and continued to practice the Heaven-Splitting God Palm obtained from Master Yuding.
The day passes quickly.
Realist Taiyi spent eighty-one days retreating and casting spells for Nezha, not only wasting a lot of cultivation, but also mentally exhausted.
The mana barrier surrounding the couch gradually dissipated. Master Taiyi drooped his whisk and walked down the steps step by step. When he saw the tea set on the table next to him, he was refreshed and ran over in a hurry.
Zhou Ji slowly opened his eyes, woke up from samadhi, and laughed dumbfounded when he saw the appearance of Daoist Taiyi, raised his arms falsely, and a stream of clear spring flew out from the lotus pond and poured into the teapot.
Zhou Ji approached and put in the tea leaves. A cluster of flames rose from the bottom of the teapot. Affected by mana, the tea boiled rapidly, with a faint tea fragrance lingering, and white mist rose from the spout.
"It's so hot, it's so hot, why is it so hot!"
Reverend Taiyi couldn't wait to lift the teapot and pour a cup of tea, it was so hot that he was in a hurry and wanted to pour it into his mouth.
After drinking half a pot of tea, Master Taiyi regained some energy, turned his head and looked around, and asked casually, "Where is Yang Chan? Why are you alone?"
Zhou Ji walked to the side of the long couch as if nothing had happened, and said casually, "Brother Yang went to Taoshan to save his mother, and the Heavenly Court dispatched ten golden crows. Miss Yang was worried about his safety, so she went to find him."
"Ten Golden Crows?" Daoist Taiyi's complexion changed slightly, he put down the teacup in his hand, and counted with his fingers, maybe because of his mental exhaustion, he felt that the future was shrouded in fog and full of variables.
Nezha's soul has merged with his physical body, his eyes are closed, his chest rises and falls, and he seems to be asleep.
Zhou Ji turned his head to look at Taiyi Daoist and said, "Shenzhen, how is Nezha? Why hasn't he woke up yet?"
Master Taiyi suppressed his complicated and chaotic thoughts, stopped to deduce and calculate, and said with a bit of relief and a bit of sigh: "Although Nezha has been resurrected, her primordial spirit can't control this new body yet. It takes three days to recuperate and get used to it slowly before you can move freely."
While speaking, Nezha slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Ji anxiously, tried to sit up, but couldn't even move a finger.
"That is to say, real people don't need someone to protect the law now, right?"
Zhou Ji stood up straight and asked casually as if casually.
Master Taiyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded subconsciously. Before he could react, he saw a bright streamer light up beside him, passing by the cave, and disappeared for a moment.
"Hey~! Where are you going~?"
Realist Taiyi turned around and looked, the cave was silent and empty, only the pond full of lotus flowers was still emitting a faint soft light to illuminate the cave, as if he was the only one in the cave.
Thousands of miles away, it's here in the blink of an eye.
Although Zhou Ji didn't know the specific location of Taoshan, he could find it all the way according to the location where the Thunder Mark imprint disappeared. As the surrounding temperature became hotter, the ten suns were distributed in a ring and rotated, as if connected to form a huge magic ring, radiating Thousands of rays of light shone down on the lower realm.
The closer to the light beam, Zhou Ji's eyes became more dignified.
He who has not entered the immortal way, the aftermath of the Golden Crow formation alone caused him a lot of pressure. The ground was covered with scorched earth. A huge boulder in the valley in the distance seemed to be lifted up by someone, hanging on the ground precariously. The upper layer of the boulder was burned red by the strong light. , seems to have faint signs of melting.
Below it, there is a metal lotus platform tied with iron chains, and a woman trapped by chains is vaguely seen lying in the lotus platform.
The scorching heat wave bulged the hem of Zhou Ji's gown. Zhou Ji stood in front of the cliff and witnessed all this. He looked up at the dazzling Golden Crow formation. Because the Golden Crow's power was too domineering, fortunately, the surrounding heavenly soldiers had retreated. In the Heavenly Court, only the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother personally supervised the battle at Nantianmen.
Zhou Ji took a step forward, and his figure disappeared without warning.
Brothers and sisters Yang Jian and Yang Chan worked together to prop up the boulder to shield their mother from the strong light. The scorching sun's rays penetrated the stone itself and brought high temperature erosion. In just half a day, Yang Chan's strength had already weakened and her face was pale.
Although Yang Jian's cultivation is far superior to Yang Chan's, and he has integrated the most precious treasure of the heavens, the Eye of Heaven, into himself, but after days of hard work, the situation is not much better than that of Yang Chan who arrived not long ago.
"Third Sister!"
"Chan'er, let's go~! Let's go~!"
Seeing that Yang Chan's body was staggering, only supported by a single thought, she might faint at any time.
The tears in Yao Ji's eyes evaporated before they fell, looking at her two children in grief, begging them to leave.
When Yang Jian left earlier, Yang Chan was still relatively 'calmly' persuading him not to risk his life in vain even if he couldn't save his mother.
But when she is watching her mother dying in front of her, who can really maintain reason?
If there really is such a 'reasonable person', what is the difference between this person's rationality and the cold-blooded and ruthless?
Yang Chan's eyelids trembled slightly, and she struggled to open the slit, leaning against the boulder on her body, and refused her mother angrily, suddenly there were several loud bangs behind her, as if something heavy fell to the ground, and she was about to close it. His eyelids twitched suddenly.
"By the way, since you want to prop up huge boulders to block the light, why don't you find a few stones to build up? Just carry it like this, won't you be tired?"
Is that Brother Zhou’s voice?
Is he coming?
No, he can't stay here!
It's too dangerous here, you should quickly persuade him to leave
Yang Chan's expression was in a trance, she only felt her shoulders relax, and her body fell forward unknowingly.
"Third Sister!"
Yang Jian exclaimed, seeing that the third sister was about to fall, he grabbed her back collar with one hand, lifted her up, and gently placed her in the shade of the stone pillar built next to her.
Golden Crow's supernatural powers are too domineering, and where the light is shrouded, water spells cannot be cast at all.
Zhou Ji reached into his sleeve, and with the help of the sleeve to cover it, he took out a pot of clear water from the square formation and handed it to Yang Chan's mouth. Yang Chan drank some water and regained consciousness a little.
"Brother Zhou is really you"
"This is Aunt Yao Ji, right? Next Zhou Ji, brother Yang and Miss Yang's friend." Zhou Ji greeted Yao Ji, and when he heard Yang Chan's voice, he nodded slightly at her, and then said: " Nezha has been revived and stayed in the Golden Light Cave to adapt to his body. There is no accident this time, and he will fully recover in a few days."
Zhou Ji briefly explained Nezha's current situation to the two, then took two pots and handed them to Yang Jian and Yao Ji respectively, and asked them what was going on here.
Hearing that Nezha was safe, Yang Jian and Yang Chan brothers and sisters were a little relieved and somewhat complicated.
"Brother Zhou, you shouldn't have come."
"What are you talking about? Didn't I promise Brother Yang to take care of you?" Zhou Ji glanced at Yang Chan, looked at the stone ax in Yang Jian's hand, and said, "Besides, Brother Yang promised to borrow the stone ax to rescue Auntie." And me!"
Yang Jian looked down at the stone ax in his hand, then at the chains on his mother's body, his eyes were red with grief.
"These chains are formed by the rules of heaven. Stone axes can split Taoshan, but they cannot split these chains."
Yang Jian raised the stone ax and slashed down. There was a crisp sound and sparks splashed, and the chains glowed with a faint golden light. The stone ax swung away without any damage.
bang bang bang~~
With the stone pillars erecting the boulder, Yang Jian slashed hysterically, but he still couldn't hurt the chain itself.
"Enough, enough~stop~~" Seeing Yang Jian's almost crazy appearance, Yao Ji shook her head weakly and said sadly.
Zhou Ji showed a look of impatience, raised his right hand slightly, looked at the square map lit up in his palm, closed his eyes slowly, stepped forward to stop Yang Jian, knelt down and looked at the chains on the ground and said, "Auntie, what about these chains? , What did the Jade Emperor say?"
Yao Ji shook her head weakly, "These chains are formed by the Heavenly Rules of the Jade Emperor. After he suppressed me, he came to see me once and told me that he would let me out only if I sincerely admit my mistake~! I didn't Wrong, why admit it! The one who is wrong is the Heavenly Rules! The one who is wrong is the Jade Emperor!"
Yao Ji sneered, and looked up at the boulder, as if she could see the Jade Emperor outside the Nantian Gate through the stone wall.
Zhou Ji slowly put away the square map, and said in a deep voice: "No Yaoji, the rules of heaven are right, but you are wrong."
