"Why are you here together?" The Third Holy Mother's little face was filled with surprise, and her eyes widened subconsciously, which was unexpectedly cute.
"Third sister, we are here to save you." Yang Jian said in a trembling voice.
He waited for more than 20 years and finally waited for this day.
"What exactly happened?" The Third Holy Mother looked at her husband and son, then said to her second brother.
"I'll let you out first." Yang Jian waved his hands, formed seals with his hands, and pointed at the stone platform.
A silver light flew out from his palm, triggering the formation on the stone platform.
The silver light hit the circular beam of light formed by the formation, and it was like a stone falling into the sea, and there was no movement in an instant.
Yang Jian was stunned, then cast the spell again, but the result was the same, the silver light once again dissolved into the light column.
"Yang Jian, you don't think that I just suspected you but never took any precautions against it, do you?"
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Queen Mother sneered and said, "I have already replaced the stone pillar seal. Your Axe of Creation is powerful, it can even break my Qiankun Bowl. Then why don't you break this seal?
Let me tell you, this seal is connected to the Huashan Dragon Vein. If the seal is hit by a critical strike, the Dragon Vein will shatter, and the aftermath of the shattering will be enough to turn Yang Chan into ashes."
"Queen Mother, you are despicable." Yang Jian shouted angrily.
"I'm despicable?" The Queen Mother's face was also filled with anger. "You pretended to obey me but secretly disobeyed me, secretly helping the Liu father and son to rebel. You are the most despicable person."
"Don't argue with her anymore, it's meaningless." Qin Yao said in a serious tone.
"What should we do now? In twenty-four hours, it will be three months." Chenxiang looked at his father intently.
Whenever he didn't know what to do, his father could always give him an answer, even if his father was not by his side.
Just like when he was tested in the nameless cave.
Qin Yao closed his eyes in deep thought, then suddenly said, "Just now, the Queen Mother said that this seal is connected to the Huashan Dragon Vein?"
"Yes." Erlang Shen said, "Severing the seal will detonate the dragon vein."
Qin Yao: "What if we cut the dragon vein first?"
"Hey~" Erlang Shen's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the vertical eye on his forehead and scanned the entire mountain.
"Don't waste your time." The Queen Mother said expressionlessly, "What you can think of, can't I think of it? I have hidden the dragon vein. If you are not as strong as me, you will not be able to find it."
Qin Yao laughed and said, "Can you hide the dragon vein of Mount Hua outside of Mount Hua?"
The Queen Mother's expression changed, and she even stood up from her chair with a bang.
Inside the cave, Qin Yao turned to Erlang Shen and Chenxiang and said, "Retreat first. Once we split the mountain, the dragon vein will reveal itself."
"Mom, wait for us, we will rescue you soon." Before leaving, Chenxiang shouted loudly at the stone platform.
"Be careful." The Third Holy Mother responded with a worried look on her face.
After a while, the gods and demons withdrew from Huashan and stood side by side on the clouds.
Yang Jian raised his hand and summoned a three-pointed, two-edged sword. He turned around and said, "The Axe of Creation is too powerful. If you rashly use it to split the mountain, it may hurt innocent people. I will use the three-pointed, two-edged sword to split the mountain first. Once the dragon vein appears, Chenxiang, you will use the Axe of Creation to break the dragon vein. As for the others, you will work together to prevent the aftermath of the Axe of Creation from causing any casualties."
"Okay." All the gods and demons responded in unison.
Yang Jian took a deep breath, gripped the three-pointed, double-edged sword tightly with both hands, gathered the divine power in his body, and chopped it down fiercely.
The sword light broke through the air and slashed heavily on the top of the mountain, splitting the mountain apart. A black dragon phantom appeared, competing with the sword light and protecting Huashan.
At this moment, Chenxiang moved, and the Axe of Creation swung out a golden axe light, which quickly passed through the void and cut off the dragon's head.
Accompanied by a mournful cry, the dragon's body suddenly exploded, and the aftermath of the explosion was all resolved by Sun Wukong, Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan, Qin Yao, Old Fox, Xiaoyu and other gods and demons.
"Success, success!" Xiaotian Dog said excitedly in the Lingxiao Palace.
“Swish.”
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly turned fiercely and she shouted, "Come here, throw this stupid dog down to the mortal world."
Nezha was afraid that others would hurt Xiaotian Dog, so he quickly stood up and bowed to receive the order: "Yes, my lady."
As he spoke, he grabbed Howling Sky Dog by the collar and flew out of Lingxiao Palace with it.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Li Jing, you have taught your son well."
Li Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. Since this child was old enough to understand, I have not taught him much. It was Master Taiyi who taught him principles and skills."
Queen Mother: “…”
She couldn't possibly go and settle the score with Master Taiyi right now...
The world, Mount Hua.
The gods and demons stepped into the fairy palace again. Chenxiang turned the Axe of Creation and was about to split the last layer of light shield that sealed the Three Holy Mothers, but the light shield suddenly emitted seven-colored divine light.
"What is this?" Faced with this sudden change, Chenxiang didn't dare to move.
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the Queen Mother standing before the throne suddenly laughed brightly and charmingly, "I never thought that you and your son would reach this point, but I never thought that Nuwa would think of it. She didn't think that you and your son would come here, but that there would be a day when the Heavenly Law would be modified.
The new heavenly law is embedded in the colorful stone. If you want to rescue Yang Chan, you must split the colorful stone.
The seven-colored stones cannot stop the sharp edge of the Axe of Creation, but neither can the new Heavenly Law.
Chenxiang, when you borrowed the Axe of Creation, you said you were borrowing it to benefit all living beings. The new Heavenly Rule that can benefit all living beings is right here. Do you want to destroy it?"
"Did you put this colorful stone here?" Qin Yao suddenly asked while the gods and demons were silent.
The Queen Mother said complacently, "Of course. With such status, how could Lady Nuwa care about you two gods?"
Qin Yao nodded slightly: "If you put it there, then it will be easy to deal with."
Queen Mother: “???”
What's easy to do?
“Pah.”
Qin Yao suddenly raised his hand and slapped Chen Xiang on the head, saying, "Son, kneel down."
Chenxiang didn't understand why, but still knelt down in front of him.
"Idiot, you're kneeling to the wrong person." Qin Yao said, "Kneel down in the direction of the seven-colored stone and ask for the grace of Goddess Nuwa."
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Nuwa will not pay attention to you."
Qin Yao said, "A saint should know everything, right?"
The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you kowtow?" Qin Yao lowered his eyes to look at Chenxiang and said seriously.
Chenxiang was very obedient. He kowtowed in the direction of the colorful stone and said, "Nuwa, I am Chenxiang. I know that the Queen Mother forbids the gods from falling in love for the sake of stability in the Three Realms, but my father once told me that everything has two sides.
Love between men and women is the nature of humans and gods. The heavenly rules forcibly imprison the nature of humans and gods, and want to turn everyone into emotionless machines. This is something that is completely impossible to do.
This will only lead to one consequence, that is, endless underground love affairs, which will also lead to countless tragedies, just like the Seventh Princess and Dong Yong.
I don’t understand the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, but my father taught me that it is better to open up than to block.
If everyone has love, then everyone will love the world because of love. If everyone has no love, then human nature and divinity will be indifferent, and then no one will love the world.
Chenxiang begged the goddess to give the power of love to the gods.
As he spoke, he kowtowed, each time with a loud sound.
Without his magic power to protect himself, his forehead quickly swelled up and was then broken.
"Chenxiang, stop kowtow, stop kowtow." The Third Holy Mother couldn't bear to see this scene and said with tears in her eyes.
Chenxiang remained unmoved. The blood on his forehead fell to the ground and a beautiful white lotus blossomed.
The next moment, as the blood on his forehead continued to drip, more and more white lotuses appeared, eventually covering the entire lake.
Dazzling golden light burst out from the stone platform and condensed into a golden lotus, breaking through the restriction and wrapping the Three Holy Mothers inside.
At the same time, countless characters flew out from the lotus, broke through the cave, rushed straight into the sky, and penetrated the three realms.
In Lingxiao Palace, the Queen Mother sat back on the dragon throne weakly.
Guanyin smiled slightly and called out, "My Lady..."
The Queen Mother said helplessly, "I lost. Even saints have feelings, let alone immortals and gods?"
"Good." Guanyin said softly.
In the Huashan Immortal Palace, Chenxiang excitedly flew to the Golden Lotus Stone Platform, hugged his mother, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Qin Yao stood beside Sun Wukong, Bull Demon King and other Buddhist demons, watching the scene with a smile, like an outsider.
"Dad, come here."
After the ecstatic excitement passed, Chenxiang hurriedly shouted at Qin Yao.
Qin Yao was about to answer when a line of light symbols suddenly flashed before his eyes: 【The current world's plot has ended. Do you want to return immediately?】
This line of light symbols made him calm down quickly. He waved and smiled without answering.
"Thank you, second brother, and... thank you." The Third Holy Mother flew over from the stone platform with Chenxiang, first looked at Erlang Shen, and then turned her gaze to Qin Yao.
"Why does it feel like you two are so estranged?" said the Bull Demon King.
The Three Holy Mothers were speechless.
Erlang Shen smiled and said, "Let's go home."
That night.
Guanjiang estuary.
East wing.
The Third Holy Mother looked at the man in front of her who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and she didn't know what to say.
Qin Yao also looked at the other person and suddenly laughed: "I should go now."
"Who are you?" asked the Third Holy Mother.
Qin Yao shook his head: "I can't tell you, otherwise it will leave a mark in your heart."
The Third Holy Mother: “…”
"I'll leave Chenxiang to you. Don't tell him about this." Qin Yao said again.
The Third Holy Mother nodded woodenly.
"I will not drain the immortal energy from this body. I will leave this immortal body to Liu Yanchang. You can teach him some immortal arts in the future to prolong his life."
"Thank you." said the Third Holy Mother.
Qin Yao laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Forget me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light descended from the sky and took away his soul.
The Third Holy Mother's heart trembled, and she felt lost.
"Three Holy Mothers?"
After a long time, Liu Yanchang saw the scene inside the house clearly and touched his face with his hand: "Am I dreaming?"
The Third Holy Mother shook her head: "You are not dreaming, Yanchang, I need to explain something to you."
Two days later.
Liu Chenxiang pulled San Shengmu and Yang Jian into a room, used his magic power to isolate the inside and outside, and said solemnly: "Mother, uncle, I discovered something very scary."
"What's the matter?" asked the Third Holy Mother softly.
"My father might have been possessed." Liu Chenxiang silently clenched his fists and said, "I've observed him for two days, and he's completely different from before."
The Third Holy Mother's eyes trembled: "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense," Liu Chenxiang said. "My father used to be very open-minded. My friends in Liujia Village all envied me for having such an open-minded father. But now my father is very old-fashioned and pedantic. He insists on sending me to school and even wants me to take the imperial examination. He's completely...changed into a different person."
The Third Holy Mother said, "I'll tell him not to force you."
"Why didn't you understand? I mean, he might have been possessed by another body." Chenxiang emphasized again.
"That won't happen." Erlang Shen glanced at the Third Holy Mother and said, "Perhaps Liu Yanchang was overjoyed because your mother was rescued, and for a moment he seemed like a different person."
"But he doesn't remember many past events. How can this be explained?" Chenxiang asked softly.
Erlangshen: "..."
The Third Holy Mother: “…”
Looking at the two silent relatives, Chen Xiang suddenly guessed something and his pupils shrank slightly: "You knew it a long time ago?"
Erlang Shen: "I just found out yesterday."
He had noticed something was wrong with Liu Yanchang yesterday. He had suddenly become more scholarly and his demeanor had changed drastically, so he went to the Three Holy Mothers and asked for details...
Chen Xiang's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Who is he? Where is my father?"
Erlang Shen looked at the Three Holy Mothers.
The Third Holy Mother didn't know how to explain it.
Chenxiang was raised by that mysterious man, and emotionally they were like father and son. On the contrary, he was only related to Liu Yanchang by blood.
In other words, in Chenxiang's world, the mysterious man who left was his father...
How could she explain this?
Yang Jian exhaled lightly and said, "Third sister, let me tell you."
…
Uncle Jiu's world.
Taoshan Earth Temple.
In the training room, Qin Yao had been awake for a long time, but he had been sitting on the mat in a daze.
The Lotus Lantern world was not the world where he stayed the longest, but it was the world where he gained the most.
In terms of strength: promoted from the third cave heaven to the seventh cave heaven, breaking through four small realms in a row, which is unprecedented.
In terms of immortal scriptures: he obtained top-level immortal arts such as "Dapin Tianxian Jue", "Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Evil", "Somersault Cloud", and "Fire Eyes and Golden Puzzles" from the Fighting Buddha.
These magical arts would be considered the greatest gain in any world, but he learned them all at once in the Lotus Lantern.
Therefore, in terms of harvest, this trip can be said to be a great harvest.
But emotionally, he felt somewhat lost.
Of course, it’s not that he is reluctant to part with the Third Holy Mother. He has no feelings for the Third Holy Mother at all. What he is reluctant to part with is the child whom he raised.
Twenty years is not a long time, but the emotions of twenty years can be very strong.
“Huh~~~”
After a long time, Qin Yao let out a long breath, finally stood up from the mat, pushed the door open and walked out of the room.
"Brother Yao!"
In the courtyard, amidst the cold wind and heavy snow, Nianying, dressed in a festive cotton-padded jacket and a little red hat on her head, heard him and immediately jumped and waved, saying, "It's snowing! Let's build a snowman."
Qin Yao looked closely and saw that A Li, Cai Yi, Bai Min'er, Ren Tingting, Xiao Wenjun and others were all in the yard. Everyone had traces of snow on their bodies, as if they had already had a snowball fight.
“This is my world.”
Qin Yao thought silently in his heart.
The tangle in my heart inadvertently dissipated with the wind...
