The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 281 278: The Dream Tapir and the Origin (asking for a monthly ticket)
After a while,
Baidi, Donghuang, the old scholar and five other land immortals arrived one after another. The clouds under Chu Zhou's feet continued to spread and turned into an area of ​​about ten feet in radius.

Everyone climbed up on the clouds and listened quietly, while Xiong Kuohai told the story, describing all the strange things that had happened in the mortal world during this period.

"Anfeng City has been hit by a ghost disaster. Hundreds of people were hanged in their homes. It looks just like the legendary hanged ghost killing people..."

"Yuedong Village disappeared. A village was gone just like that. Hundreds of people are still missing, and their fates are unknown..."

"The entire Donghua sect was wiped out. The strange thing is that the murderer was found to be a humanoid beast, similar to the monster in the legend..."

"And the Gourd City is even weirder. In the hot summer, frost spread and froze the entire city..."

"These are just the various strange things that happened in my Dayun Dynasty. The Great Yan and the Golden Horde are not much better. People are uneasy and the whole world is in panic!"

"We also passed the news to Xuanzhen Palace, but the mountain protection formation has never changed. It seems that they are unwilling to pay attention..."

“So, we can only investigate on our own. The four major sects and the imperial court each have their own choices.

The reason why I came here is not only because this place belongs to the territory of the Tyrant Clan, but also because Shayu Pass is sparsely populated, so even if something goes wrong, the impact can be minimized..."

Dong Huang interrupted and asked, "After doing so much, you don't have any results?"

Xiong Kuohai turned his head slightly, glanced at the other person, and answered seriously: "I do have some guesses, but I don't know whether they are true or not."

"Tell me more specifically?"

"There is a drought demon sealed in Tianyuan Mansion, which should not be an isolated case. We speculate that these should be left by ancient immortals.

But we don’t know the specifics, and speculation is just speculation, no one can prove it.”

At this point, Xiong Kuohai could no longer hold back. He turned his head slightly, looked at the group of land immortals, and asked, "In fact, there were ancient books handed down in ancient times, but almost all of them were looted by you. I looked through them, but didn't find any evidence.

I wonder if you guys know anything?
Also, where is my ancestor?"

In fact, he had been holding back on saying this for a long time, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still didn't want to believe it.

Upon hearing this, all the land gods looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Xiong Kuohai turned his gaze and looked at the ancestor of the Ji family, the founding emperor of the Dayun Dynasty, and asked, "I wonder if your Majesty Taizu can tell me anything?"

"General, my brother has died in the paradise. He died in battle and has no regrets!"

Xiong Kuohai couldn't help but twitch his face. He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have any opinions on the situation here?"

Now, almost all the immortals on land looked at the old Confucian scholar. It was obvious that in terms of erudition and study of ancient books, he was the best!

The old scholar frowned and thought for a long while before he said, "I have read through ancient books and have seen many things about seals. In ancient times, the Great Red Dragon sealed all kinds of demons and monsters under this land.

But the records are quite vague, and the terrain has changed a lot. How can I tell where this place is in ancient times? "

After a pause, he raised a soul-searching question: "Also, when I was studying ancient books, I actually had a big puzzle that was difficult to solve."

The blind swordsman said, "What's the confusion?"

"Why? Why seal them instead of killing them directly? These monsters have already been captured. Why go to so much trouble? Wouldn't it be easier to just kill them directly?"

"Hey, I thought it was some puzzle?! Since those ancient immortals didn't kill them directly, it must be because it was inconvenient to do so."

"That's the problem. According to the ancient books I've read, no matter which one, when it comes to the immortal who created this world and came riding a dragon, they all say that he is the supreme being, enjoys endless life, and has boundless power.

If he is really that powerful, shouldn't it be easy for him to kill those captured monsters and demons?

Why do you have to go through so much trouble to choose the seal?"

This question left everyone speechless, but Chu Zhou seemed to be thinking about something, and spoke for the first time: "What the old scholar said actually makes sense. For the Red Dragon Immortal, it really doesn't take much effort to kill them.

The reason why you chose to seal him instead of killing him was more because this world needs him?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. The old scholar's eyes flashed with eagerness, and he asked, "What does Master Chu know?"

Chu Zhou nodded slowly, but then asked, "Why do you think there is a Jedi-Tiantong? Why did the Red Dragon Immortal seal the heaven and earth?"

After a pause, he asked himself and answered, "It's not that the Red Dragon Immortal is heartless, but the world was just created and was fragile. The ancient immortal war has almost destroyed it.

If we don’t think of some solutions and use some means, this new world may completely collapse, turn into wasteland, and extinct all life.”

In fact, Chu Zhou felt that there might be the intervention of those demons from outside the domain, confusing the public, sowing discord, stirring up people's minds, and manipulating their desires.

However, this needs no further explanation.

But even so, when they first heard what Chu Zhou said, everyone looked surprised.

The old scholar seemed to have thought of something and said, "According to what the Immortal said, could it be that these sealed demons and monsters are actually being drained of their essence and then replenishing this world?"

“Bound by formations and washed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, over a long period of time, all the magical powers they have cultivated will be transformed into nutrients of heaven and earth, consolidating the earth and nourishing life.

This is indeed specially designed by the Great Immortal Red Dragon!"

Chu Zhou agreed with the old scholar's guess, paused for a moment, and then said, "Moreover, their identities are not demons or monsters, but the existences that you once pursued and even respected!"

When these words were spoken, no one reacted, except Baidi and Donghuang, who came from the secret realm and knew more. They seemed to have thought of something and their eyes widened.

Dong Huang spoke directly: "Master, Master Chu, these sealed demons and monsters you said are those, those, those ancient immortals?"

When he said this, he was actually full of doubts, but when he met Chu Zhou's gaze, he knew that his guess was correct.

In fact, the truth is so cruel!

Among those second-generation immortal servants, some were brought into the secret realm, and some were sealed on the earth to be used as fertilizer.

The impact of this incident was so great that no one spoke for a long time, until Xiong Kuohai came back to his senses and asked another question: "Since it has been sealed, why can it still cause trouble?"

Chu Zhou said again: "It's actually very simple. The secret realm is opened, which means the shackles are removed. The world is about to change, and these seals have loosened.

If the ancient immortal wants to survive, he must stir up trouble in order to recover. "

Chu Zhou tilted his head slightly and looked at Xiong Kuohai again, asking, "Besides this, did you find anything else strange?"

Xiong Kuohai frowned, thought for a moment, and asked: "I wonder if Palace Master Chu can tell me clearly what it is about?"

"For example, in the Four Poles, the fog covers the sky. Is there any change?"

"This... I haven't heard of it, nor have I paid attention to it!"

Xiong Kuohai explained: "The four poles are so remote that few people have ever been there. The so-called sky-covering fog is mostly recorded in ancient books, and very few people have seen it with their own eyes.

Could it be that something went wrong there too?"

Chu Zhou shook his head: "I don't know the details, I just hope it won't be that troublesome!"

Having said that, when Chu Zhou thought about the instantaneous perception of entering and exiting the cave, he felt that things might be extremely troublesome.

Xiong Kuohai was also worried, but looking at Shayu Pass below, he changed the subject and said, "Palace Master, what kind of ancient immortal is sealed down there?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhou also looked down from the clouds and saw that Shayu Pass seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of black fog, like a painting, and the space was slightly distorted.

Inside, the living people all stood up again, standing still, but the expressions on their faces kept changing, showing extreme joy and sorrow.

"It should be a monster sealed underneath. The evil aura is very obvious, but I don't know the details!"

Although Chu Zhou could trace the history through the secret realm, that was only a rough idea. He had no idea what kind of monsters and demons were imprisoned down there.

However, after being silent for a long time, Bai Di finally spoke up: "Brother, can you tell me what it felt like when you were surrounded by the black energy?"

"Feel?"

Xiong Kuohai thought for a moment and said, "At first I felt dizzy and my head was heavy, but after a moment, I got rid of the influence.

Then, a powerful monster rushed out of Shayu Pass. It looked like a horse or a deer, covered in armor, with horns on its head, dancing on the clouds, and could spit out flames from its mouth, burning the sky and plundering the earth. It looked very much like the legendary fire unicorn, and was very powerful. I fought it hard, and the fight never stopped, but I was about to lose. When it was about to eat me, I was saved by Palace Master Chu. "

As he said this, he looked around and asked, "Where is the monster? Why did it disappear?"

Bai Di said, "Because the monster was originally fake, or in other words, it was an illusion in your dream."

"Dream?"

Chu Zhou thought of Taixutian, and suddenly lowered his head, saying: "So, these people are actually trapped in a dream, experiencing a great dream of spring and autumn, so that they are extremely happy and sad, and their emotions are extremely unstable.

And the sealed ancient immortal used this method to absorb desires, dreams, and even the essence of the human body to restore himself?"

Bai Di spoke again: "I once encountered an extremely rare monster in the secret realm. It has an elephant trunk, rhino eyes, ox tail, tiger feet, and is about ten feet long. However, it does not kill enemies with its claws and fangs, but can devour dreams, create dreams, and then kill people in dreams.

After I killed it, I went back to Baidi City and read a lot of ancient books before I determined its identity - an ancient beast, the Nightmare Tapir, also known as the Fierce Leopard or the White Leopard, whose fur has the effect of warding off plague."

Xiong Kuohai was overjoyed: "Since you have experience in killing a nightmare tapir, why don't you kill it again?"

Baidi looked troubled: "Well, the dream tapir I killed is very different from this one, it may not be easy!"

What Bai Di said was not an excuse. In the environment of the secret realm, the Dream Tapir's innate magical powers had been suppressed beyond recognition. Even if he tried to use them, they would be full of loopholes.

The dream he created was just a fake one, so he couldn't fool Baidi, and that's when he found the opportunity to kill him.

But this is the human world. This dream tapir has been sealed for countless years, yet it can still jump around. How can it compare to the one in the secret realm?

Xiong Kuohai naturally didn't know the situation in the secret realm, and wanted to say something, but Chu Zhou interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Knowing this is enough!

Nightmare tapirs devour dreams, create dreams, and kill people in dreams. It is indeed hard to guard against, so it is better not to get close to them. "

Chu Zhou already had a solution. He raised his hand and waved it. The clouds under his feet quickly retreated. In just a dozen breaths, they were dozens of miles away.

Chu Zhou took a step forward and fell directly from the clouds. A small flag appeared above his head, fluttering and rustling.
A black tortoise shadow appeared and protected him as it fell to the ground.

boom!
With a loud bang, the earth trembled and visible air waves rolled, but Chu Zhou stood steadily on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, and cast out one spell after another.

It was almost visible to the naked eye. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was restless and rolling like a wave. Intricate spiritual patterns lit up, layer upon layer, and had already spread to Shayu Pass, covering one corner.

Chu Zhou turned into a beam of light and appeared in the water light, dozens of miles away.

Then, a series of spells were cast, and the same restless inspiration rolled over like a wave, and countless spiritual patterns lit up, layer upon layer, covering a corner of Shayu Pass.

That’s right, this is Chu Zhou’s method. He doesn’t know the strength level of the dream tapir, nor does he know its magical powers, nor does he know how to break the dream, but none of this matters.

He only needs to activate the sealing formation again, borrow the power of the formation, and suppress the nightmare tapir again.

As the formation was activated, the nightmare tapir also felt the crisis, and its squeaking sound resounded through the world, filled with anger and panic.

The black air gathered and turned into mist, rolling in, trying to submerge Chu Zhou.

But there is no way, the distance is too far!

The nightmare tapir couldn't move, and its magical powers couldn't reach far, so halfway through, it completely dissipated.

But Chu Zhou completely ignored him. The light of escape flashed, the water light surged, and he changed his position again, chanting the magic formula again to activate the formation.

There are four directions in the world, and the formation spread on the ground also has four corners. At this time, Chu Zhou has already activated the third direction.

At this time, the nightmare tapir was really anxious. The black air rolled back and formed the shape of a monster in the sky above Shayu Pass.

It has an elephant trunk, rhino eyes, ox tail, tiger feet, a body about ten feet long, and a fierce light flashing in its eyes.

What a nightmare tapir!

He was desperate and revealed his true form.

Facing Chu Zhou, he raised his trunk and let out a long neigh.

“Squeak, s ...…”

Visible ripples spread and headed straight towards Chu Zhou. The Xuanwu flag suddenly lit up and the Xuanwu phantom let out a long cry, as if a confrontation had formed.

But Chu Zhou still felt a trance in front of his eyes, his vision was distorted, and the world seemed to be turned upside down.

However, it only took a few breaths for the situation to return to normal. Chu Zhou cast a spell and the formation in the third corner was activated again.

However, Chu Zhou did not continue!
He seemed to sense something. He looked up at the sky, then looked down at the ground. He put his hands in front of his eyes, looked at them carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but admire them.

"Your magical power can be seamlessly connected. It is really hard to defend against!"

“However, compared with Taixutian, it is still a little bit worse. If you take the fake as real, it will never be real.

Unlike Taixutian, who has specially formulated some extremely fake rules to make it easy for people like us to distinguish them."

Hee hee hee hee hee...

The sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a flying sword had already carried Chu Zhou backwards. After crossing a certain distance, the heaven and earth changed, everything changed, and yet it seemed that nothing had changed.

But Chu Zhou raised his hand again and continued to chant the spell, completely activating the formation.

The nightmare tapir saw that its magical powers had lost effectiveness, and its triangular eyes were filled with malice. It kept squeaking, and the black fog around it grew thicker, as if it was ready to strike.

This time, he planned to give Chu Zhou a big blow when he activated the last corner of the formation.

But Chu Zhou just looked at him sarcastically, and did not move. Instead, he changed the magic formula in his hand, so that the three formations were completely connected, and the formation in the fourth corner also gradually lit up.

Who said that there are four formations and they must be activated one by one?

Activating three directions, and then moving the whole body to completely open the entire formation, is enough!

So, looking down from the sky, with Shayu Pass as the core, a huge formation covered the land within a radius of dozens of miles. The layers of spiritual patterns lit up, as if they had turned into countless binding chains, shackled the nightmare tapir tightly underground.

“Squeak, squeak, spare my life! Spare my life! Negotiation, benefits, spare me…”

Maybe it was because it hadn't spoken for too long, this nightmare tapir spoke almost two words at a time.

But Chu Zhou didn't pay much attention to it. He just stared at the huge formation with a gleam in his eyes, studying it carefully for a long time.

When he saw some broken places, he raised his hands again and cast out spells which turned into spiritual patterns and covered the broken places.

He repeated this process, repairing nine places in total. He did not delay any longer, but just made hand gestures and chanted a spell, then raised his right hand and suddenly swung it down again.

hum!
It was visible to the naked eye that the huge formation composed of countless closed loops of spiritual patterns suddenly pressed down, like a chain pulled by countless people, causing the chain to suddenly tighten!

boom!
Boom boom boom!
No one knew where the sound came from, but the whole world was shaking. The pervasive black air roared unwillingly, but it was still retracted at the fastest speed.

Even so, it was too late. Some of the black air completely dissipated and turned into black mist that spread around and became thinner and thinner.

Inside Shayu Pass, everyone woke up as if from a dream and screamed in shock.

Mo Wenwu, deputy leader of Ba Sect, leaped into the air almost the moment his eyes became clear, and his whole body of energy burst out, and he fled at the fastest speed.

Others who reacted quickly did the same thing, and those who reacted slowly also staggered out.

However, the crisis has been resolved and everything is fine now.

In the sky, Xiong Kuohai came from the air. Before he got close, he asked, "Palace Master Chu, has it been resolved?"

Chu Zhou nodded first, then shook his head and said, "It can only be regarded as a temporary seal, not very solid. I need to spend some time to repair this formation again."

At this moment, Chu Zhou has already decided to take charge of the rear hall, and the course on formations has to be put on the agenda.
