"King, it's time to get up and wash up."
"Alright," she said.
This was the fourth day after Li Yang experienced the baptism of the heavenly tribulation.
"Big brother, Wei Er still hasn't shown any signs of waking up. Did something happen?”Li Yang washed up and wiped her face with a towel, looking listless.
"Your Majesty, I've already checked the Queen's sea of consciousness. There's nothing unusual about it.”Duan Xiu said respectfully.
" I don't know when she'll wake up." Li Yang came to Ye Weier's side and held her hand, her eyes filled with longing.
" King, I…" Duan Xiu hesitated.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I've long realized that my brother has something to say these past few days.”Although Li Yang did not turn around, he could still feel Duan Xiu's thoughts.
"Your Majesty, what happened during the ninth lightning tribulation? Why did Goddess Houtu's phantom appear?”Duan Xiu gritted his teeth and blurted out what he wanted to ask.
"Did something happen?" Li Yang fell silent.
"Forget it at that time. There was nothing else. It was just that the fusion of my soul's consciousness was incomplete, and there was a gap that was corroded by some distracting thoughts. Coincidentally, that part of her soul was protected by the golden light of virtue, so when I was in chaos, the golden light of virtue automatically protected the owner, and her shadow appeared. I also withstood the ninth lightning tribulation. Nothing else happened.”Li Yang thought for a long time before explaining. As for whether it was the truth, only he knew.
"Oh, so that's how it is…Then, had the gap in the King's primordial spirit been repaired?”Duan Xiu asked with concern after hearing Li Yang's explanation.
"Thank you for your concern, brother.”Li Yang thanked him.
"Then I'll go out first."
"Alright," she said.
Duan Xiu bowed respectfully and left the room.
"Xiao Yang didn't tell the truth. Something must have happened during the tribulation. " Forget it, I don't have to ask him if he doesn't want to tell me. He's no longer the Little Yang he used to be," Duan Xiu thought to himself as he stood outside the room and watched Li Yang through the window.
"Big brother! Did something happen?" Tao Tie had been waiting outside the house. He asked with concern when he saw Duan Xiu standing motionlessly at the door.
"What? Oh, it's fine. Why are you here?" Duan Xiu came back to his senses after hearing Tao Tie's words.
"I've been protecting the queen outside this room.”Tao Tie asked curiously.
"Oh, I didn't notice." Duan Xiu replied perfunctorily.
"Brother, are you really alright?" Seeing Duan Xiu's absent-minded appearance, Tao Tie asked with concern again.
"I'm fine. What can happen to me?" Duan Xiu buried his confusion in his heart and shook his head to keep himself awake.
"Brother, you are a wise man. Tao Tie has a question for you.”Tao Tie said respectfully.
"What is it? Tell me."
"Yes, sir! Elder brother, do you feel that the King has changed? He is no longer the same as before, nor is he like that lord. He gives people the feeling that he is ordinary, but there is also the majesty of an emperor within his ordinariness. It's both contradictory and natural." Tao Tie said respectfully.
"I have the same feeling. I think we're both wrong. No one is leading the other. Xiao Yang and that person probably want to give up their consciousness to help each other. Something must have happened in the middle of the process to produce a new consciousness, and Xiao Yang and that person's consciousness were replaced by a new consciousness. Whether it was Xiao Yang, that person, or the new consciousness, it was enough as long as he was our king.”Duan Xiu voiced out his guess.
"Big brother, Tao Tie is stupid and doesn't understand what you mean.”Tao Tie scratched his head in embarrassment. Indeed, Duan Xiu's words were too messy. Ordinary people really did not understand what he was saying.
"To put it simply, our King originally had two personalities. One was Xiao Yang, and the other was that person. Later on, the two personalities wanted to fuse together, but these two personalities wanted to devour each other to become the only one. However, during the fusion process, an accident occurred and a new personality was produced, which is the third personality. This third personality was more powerful than the first and second personalities, so it swallowed the first and second personalities. Now, the soul consciousness of this body belonged to the third personality. Do you understand now?" Duan Xiu carefully explained to Tao Tie.
"Understood. How will the king treat us in the future?”
"I don't know. I think the king won't change. Even if his soul and consciousness change, the things in his bones can't be changed. We are the king's subordinates. No matter how the king treats us, we are still the king's most loyal servants!”
"Elder brother is right. We are the king's servants. No matter how the king changes, we will not change!”
"Alright, you continue to guard this place. I'll go take a look at the periphery.”
"Don't worry, brother. Tao Tie won't be negligent!”
"En! Let's go!"
......
"Train seriously. From now on, the daily patrol of Devil Street will be your mission. If you find any undead turning into evil spirits or evil spirits from other streets entering Devil Street, you have to destroy them! If there are any who are willing to submit, you can bring them to this general. If I find out that you casually attack or kill the undead on Devil Street, this general will turn you into ashes! Do you hear me?" Cao Xuanliang stood in front of a group of evil spirits and ordered loudly.
" Yes," the group of evil spirits said in unison.
"Louder! Neat! Do you think I've been too lenient? What? Do you think you've lived enough? Ah?" Cao Xuanliang shouted.
"Yes, sir! General Cao!" Seeing Cao Xuanliang's anger, the evil spirits were so frightened that they shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Tang Liuyu! Train this bunch of low-class guys well for me. If anyone slacks off, use the Tang Sect's most poisonous hidden weapons to help them release their souls.”Cao Xuanliang summoned Tang Liuyu and ordered.
"Xuan Liang, don't worry, I will train these guys well!”
"Yes. I'll go back first. I'll leave the rest to you.”
"Good!"
Cao Xuanliang walked into the house with his hands behind his back.
"You must have heard what Xuan Liang said just now, right? Hurry up and train for me. I'll let anyone who dares to slack off have a taste of the Tang Sect's poison!”
"Yes, sir!"
"This feels so good! The feeling of being a general was awesome! No wonder others were fighting to be generals and marshals, haha!”Cao Xuanliang entered the room and immediately changed his appearance, dancing with joy.
"Liang, what are you doing? Why were there so many evil spirits training outside? What are you planning this time?" Cao Yanbing returned to his house on Luosha Street after delivering the food. He saw a group of evil spirits trained by Tang Liuyu on the open space outside. When he entered the house and saw Cao Xuanliang like this, he asked in confusion.
"Brother, you're back. It's nothing. These evil spirits are always a hidden danger to Devil Street. Now that they've become our soldiers, they can also protect Devil Street.”Hearing Cao Yanbing's voice from behind, Cao Xuanliang immediately turned back into an obedient child.
"It's that simple? Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?”Cao Yanbing interrogated Cao Xuanliang with a knowing expression.
"No... There's nothing to hide from my brother. I... What I said... It's all the truth." Cao Xuanliang hurriedly explained.
"Really?" Cao Yanbing stared into Cao Xuanliang's eyes.
"Really…It's true." Cao Xuanliang lowered his head, not daring to look into Cao Yanbing's eyes.
"Alright then." Cao Yanbing retracted his gaze.
"Hu ~~" Cao Xuanliang heaved a sigh of relief.
"If you don't tell me, I'll ask Tang Liuyu. He won't lie to me.”Cao Yanbing lifted his feet and was about to step out of the door.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll talk.”Hearing that Cao Yanbing was going to ask Tang Liuyu, Cao Xuanliang immediately surrendered. He knew that Tang Liuyu would not lie to Cao Yanbing and would definitely tell him everything. At that time, he would definitely be taught a lesson by Cao Yanbing. He might as well confess himself.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Cao Yanbing had no intention of walking out. He knew his brother's personality. He would confess everything with a casual test.
" I saw that Big Brother Li was very handsome when he gave orders that day, so I wanted to learn from him. So, I subdued these evil spirits and became a general myself to satisfy my craving." Cao Xuanliang lowered his head and looked at his toes as his voice became softer and softer.
"You! Forget it, let's not talk about you. Remember not to go overboard. It will be very troublesome to clean up when the time comes.”Cao Yanbing stroked Cao Xuanliang's head, looking helpless.
"Brother, you agree?" Hearing that Cao Yanbing did not teach him a lesson, Cao Xuanliang raised his head and asked again with hope in his eyes.
"En! I'm hungry, I'm going to cook." Cao Yanbing patted Cao Xuanliang's head lovingly.
"Thank you, brother. I knew you were the best. I'm going to cook!”Cao Xuanliang hugged Cao Yanbing excitedly and ran to the kitchen to cook.
"This brat…" Cao Yanbing shook his head helplessly, but the joy in his eyes was still exposed.
Time always passed unknowingly.
"The moon is really round today!”
Li Yang had been accompanying Ye Weier in the room for the entire day. His heart was in a mess, so he wanted to walk outside to relax. When he raised his head, he saw the full moon hanging in the sky. Li Yang tapped the ground lightly with his foot and flew into the air silently. He landed on the roof and sat on the ridge, looking at the moon.
"Elder brother, bring out a few jars of wine that you have saved.”Li Yang said softly, her eyes never leaving the moon. Although there was no one around, Li Yang knew that Duan Xiu was here.
"Drink less. It's not good for your health.”As the space rippled, Duan Xiu appeared behind Li Yang. Duan Xiu took out the small cauldron and took out eight or nine jars of aged wine from the space in the cauldron. Then, another wave of ripples disappeared, as if the broken cultivation had never appeared.
"Gulp! Gulp!" Li Yang casually picked up a jar of wine and removed the lid that sealed the wine. He gulped down the hundred-year-old wine in large mouthfuls. Li Yang had plundered all of these from the Soul Suppressing Generals of a destroyed Soul Suppressing Street. According to what the Soul Suppressing General said before he died, these wines were all good wines that had been sealed for a hundred years.
"Weier, I miss you so much…Gulp! Gulp! Weier, when will you wake up…Gulp! Gulp! I thought I could wake you up by coming to Devil Street, but…Gulp! Gulp! You still haven't woken up. Did you know? I'm tired of my current life. I don't want to kill people or destroy those soul-suppressing streets, but they blocked my way to save you, so they deserve to die! But every time I think of their miserable state before they died, I blame myself deeply. However, I couldn't control myself. Whenever I saw them, I wanted to eat them bit by bit. Every time I ate them, I was so excited. The deliciousness of the flesh and blood kept teasing my taste buds, making me unable to control myself. Gulp! Gulp! Li Yang drank a few mouthfuls of wine with every sentence she spoke. The jar of wine was soon emptied. Li Yang threw away the empty jar and picked up another jar to continue drinking.
" I finally understand. Although Xiao Yang has fallen into the devil, he has not lost his human nature. It is only hidden in the deepest part of his mind. When he fused with that fellow, his will was weak. The self-blame, fear, fear, and other negative emotions that these people would have came out. That is why he was controlled by these negative emotions and his primordial spirit fell into a chaotic state. This is what cultivators call the inner demon. Fortunately, with the protection of Goddess Houtu's golden light of virtue, he was able to turn danger into peace. Presumably, the apparition of Goddess Houtu should be the life-saving means that Goddess Houtu gave to that fellow, right? Fortunately, he had Goddess Hou Tu's life-saving means. Otherwise, if Xiao Yang's soul collapsed, he would really become a demonic creature. Duan Xiu thanked Goddess Houtu for her mercy!”Duan Xiu was sitting on another roof not far away from Li Yang. He had heard every single word that Li Yang had said. He also understood the reason why the apparition of Goddess Hou Tu had appeared during the last lightning tribulation and why Li Yang had become like this.
"Ah ~ I'm so full. I just can't get tired of Liang's cooking. Eh? There was someone on the roof? It was that guy. Sniff! What fragrant wine! It was a good time to have a drink and chat with that guy.”
Cao Yanbing came out of the house to stretch after he was done eating. He happened to see Li Yang drinking on the roof, so he walked towards Li Yang.
"Hmm? Cao Yanbing? Forget it, let him have a good chat with Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang had been holding it in for too long. It was time to vent.”
Duan Xiu, who was on the roof on the other side, noticed Cao Yanbing walking towards Li Yang. He wanted to stop him but decided against it after some thought. Let him have a good chat with Li Yang.
