Chapter 209: Waterworm
"Hey, I wonder where Zhuqing is now?"
In the garden outside Cangyue Palace, Dai Mubai was looking up at the endless silver moon and starry sky, his expression full of worry.There are 28 angels. What if they can’t get along with each other?What if the request you make is difficult or rude?if...
"Boss Dai, can you please take a rest? I feel tired just looking at you." Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of Yueling Island's fine wine and swallowed the food in his mouth.
Although Elune agreed to Tang San staying here and left, she did not ignore them.Instead, he ordered Chou Qiong to deliver food to them on time every day. The time flow rate in different spaces is different from that on Yueling Island. At present, Zhu Zhuqing has only just received the approval of Jiaomu Jiao, and the next day has already arrived on Yueling Island. It's morning.However, the scene in the sky has not changed and remains the same as when Zhu Zhuqing left.
"You just know how to eat, and you're not your wife to accept the assessment, right?" Dai Mubai was really worried, but he still walked to Ma Hongjun and sat down, took the wine glass handed over by Tang San and drank it down in one gulp.
Ma Hongjun's face was flushed, and he even put his face to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your good words, Boss Dai. I really hope to feel this tension. Xiangxiang, don't worry, I will definitely help you find the right one." God, we will always be together."
Bai Chenxiang held Ma Hongjun's hand back, with a faint smile on her face. She leaned her head on Ma Hongjun's shoulder, enjoying the happiness of the moment.Naturally, she wanted to go to the God Realm with everyone and stay together.But she also understood that the gap between herself and them was not small, and perhaps no god could think highly of her at all.Therefore, during this adventure, Bai Chenxiang cared very much about his partners, and it was precisely for this reason.
In the different space, Zhu Zhuqing continued to walk forward and left Spica's territory. The scenery in front of him changed again. The silver gradually faded and turned into a dim world.According to the arrangement of the 28 constellations, this is the second constellation of the seven constellations in the east, Kang constellation.
The environment of Kangsu is somewhat similar to that of the forbidden area of Wolling Island, with a patch of yellow ginkgo trees everywhere you look.
Kangsu's star envoy is Kang Jinlong, a real dragon. According to his bloodline, he is much nobler than the Jiaomu Jiao. Of course, Zhu Zhuqing only dared to think about this in his heart and would not dare to say it to his mouth no matter what. .This time she was ready to fight from the entrance, carefully observing the surrounding situation, for fear that the Kangjin Dragon would fly out from somewhere.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed, and a scholar-like man appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing. He had an elegant appearance and a dignified appearance. When he saw Zhu Zhuqing, he even cupped his fists and saluted, making Zhu Zhuqing look a little dazed. Seeing him felt like he was in a school. .The other party smiled politely and said, "Excuse me, what does the girl want to do here?"
Is this Kang Jinlong? !Zhu Zhuqing retracted the Moon God's swords and returned the courtesy imitating the other party's example. He murmured in his heart, how could he be so different from the Jiaomu Jiao?
"Your Excellency, you are Kang Jinlong, the star envoy of Kangsu?" With his experience just now, Zhu Zhuqing's attitude is very humble and he has completely put away his pride. What's more, facing such a righteous gentleman, it is difficult for others to speak harshly. Let’s face each other.
"Exactly, the girl is the inheritor of the Moon God, here to gain the power of the stars?" Kang Jinlong's smile deepened. Apparently Zhu Zhuqing saw it when he put away the artifact.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly, and saw Kang Jinlong opposite him suddenly thrust out his left hand. Zhu Zhuqing was startled, thinking that he was going to attack her, so he quickly took a step back.
"Don't be afraid, girl, I don't mean any harm." Kang Jinlong's tone was very gentle, which made Zhu Zhuqing feel a little embarrassed.
He drew a few strokes in the air with his left hand, like a charm or something, and muttered words in the air. Then a golden dragon mark slowly appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and the dragon's roar resounded throughout the ginkgo forest.The ginkgo leaves automatically formed a giant dragon in the air without wind, and the dragon's mouth was holding a ball of light yellow halo.
"This is the power of the stars under my control, please keep it." The ball of light was lifted by a soft divine power and slowly landed in front of Zhu Zhuqing. Just like the previous situation in Spica, there was no need for Zhu Zhuqing to touch the stars. The power entered her body on its own.
Feeling the temperature inside his body, Zhu Zhuqing was still a little incredulous, "The Star Envoy just gave me the power of the stars. Does this mean he has recognized me?"
Kang Jinlong smiled and nodded, his expression still as elegant as ever, "Of course, you are the inheritor of the Moon God, which proves that the Moon God recognizes you; the fact that you are holding the Moon God's double swords proves that the artifact recognizes you; that you can come here. , it means that Jiaomujiao guy also recognizes you. In that case, why should I embarrass you?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt a lot more relaxed. It must be said that Kang Jinlong's words had an inexplicable feeling, which made Zhu Zhuqing feel much more at ease and more confident about the next road.
"Thank you, Star Messenger. I will definitely live up to your approval." Zhu Zhuqing saluted Kang Jinlong with clasped fists and continued to move forward.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing really understood what Senior Luna meant when he said that as long as he got their approval, the process was not important. It turned out that he could pass without having to fight.
Later, Zhu Zhuqing had a deeper understanding of this sentence...
In the process of visiting the 28 constellations one by one, Zhu Zhuqing deeply understood how difficult it was for Senior Moon God to achieve the body of the moon. Each of these constellations had different personalities and did not play according to common sense.
Xinyuehu, the star of Antares in the Eastern Qisu, is a tough, diligent and cute little girl. She often likes to observe couples in the night sky, and especially likes to listen to love stories. As soon as she sees Zhu Zhuqing, she pesters her and refuses to let her go. It has to be told a few stories that satisfy her.Zhu Zhuqing didn't know how to tell any stories. She originally thought of making up a few but she couldn't hear them, but who knew that Xinyuehu seemed to have a natural sensitivity to love stories. Zhu Zhuqing even only said the first sentence before she was interrupted.
"If you don't tell me, I won't give you the power of the stars, and I won't let you leave. We'll just spend it here. I have a lot of time anyway." The big fox tail behind Xinyue Fox swayed from side to side, enjoying it very much. The current atmosphere is, "Anyway, humans won't be here for a long time, so it would be nice for you to stay with me as my companion."
"Then I'll tell you a story. I really won't lie to you this time." Zhu Zhuqing sighed. For her, the only love story she knew was between the eight of them, so she could I saw Zhu Zhuqing and a girl with a fox tail telling stories under the moonlight under a pink starry sky.
From Tang San and Xiao Wu's sacrifice to save each other, to Oscar's chest being pierced by the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in order to protect Ning Rongrong.From how he would follow Dai Mubai's footsteps no matter what danger he encountered, to when Ma Hongjun died, Bai Chenxiang was willing to die in the valley and leave with him.
Zhu Zhuqing concealed everyone's names, and only men and women were substituted in the story. However, the most sincere and profound feelings in the story still moved Xinyuehu and Zhu Zhuqing himself.
Along the way, they rode through waves and moved forward indomitably, as if nothing could stop them from moving forward. When they really stopped to talk about what happened in the past, Zhu Zhuqing discovered that each of them had already experienced so much. Each other is the most caring and precious person in this world.
Xinsu obtained the power of the stars when Xinyuehu collapsed and cried.Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she looked at Xinyuehu who was crying uncontrollably. She didn't exaggerate at all, she just told what happened to them exactly. Who knew it would be so powerful?
In the West, Mao Su is generous, kind, diligent and studious. The star messenger Pleiades Chicken gives Zhu Zhuqing the same feeling as Kang Jinlong. The only difference is that before giving the power of the stars to Zhu Zhuqing, the Pleiades Chicken asked. asked her a question.
"Little girl, I would like to ask, how do you evaluate the relationship between the true fire of the sun and the true fire of the lunar yin? Which one is stronger and which one is weaker?"
The corners of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth curled up slightly. This time she really hit the mark.
When the eight of them got together, they would often exchange some questions. Ever since they experienced Qian Minghan's pursuit in the lower world, Ma Hongjun accepted the inheritance of the God of Fire, and Zhu Zhuqing had the natal fire Taiyin True Fire, they had no idea about the fire element. The discussion became more heated, especially with Ma Hongjun.The two of them were not only opponents in the battle drills, but they also naturally formed a group to discuss this issue.
"In my opinion, the true fire of the sun is the strongest and most yang fire, and the true fire of taiyin is the most yin and soft fire. The two complement each other and create all things in the world. No matter which one they are, they are just flames. It's just a form of expression. It's impossible to judge which one is stronger or weaker based on the ability of the flames. If you must have an answer, I can only say that it depends on the user's cultivation and interaction. The ability to understand and control the fire element, and in addition, during the battle, the application of soul skills, one's own experience, and multiple tests of mental and physical strength will become the key to victory or defeat."
Zhu Zhuqing was talking eloquently, and the Pleiades Chicken was obviously very satisfied with her answer. He kept nodding his head, and naturally did not make it difficult for Zhu Zhuqing. As soon as she finished her answer, the power of the stars was given to her.
Of course, not everyone can pass by simply talking and telling stories. There are still a few who, like Jiaomujiao, have to compete to recognize Zhu Zhuqing, such as the Doumuji and Room in Qisu in the north. Fire pigs are not good-tempered, and of course they were all defeated by Zhu Zhuqing's Taiyin True Fire in the end.
I don't know how long she has been walking in this different space. Zhu Zhuqing has no concept of time for a long time. After going around in such a circle, her mental and physical strength can't keep up. Fortunately, there is still one last one left.
Zhensu was called "Heavenly Car" in ancient times. It is the seventh constellation in the south, ranking after the Suzaku. The tail of the bird is used to control the direction, so this Zhensu is the last one of the 28 constellations.
"I wonder what this Zhensu star messenger Zhen Shui worm looks like?" After meeting 27 star messengers in a row, Zhu Zhuqing was full of curiosity about the last one. She strode into Zhensu's territory, only to find that here It is different from what I saw before. Everything is gray, and there are no palaces, ponds, woods, or galaxies in sight... All the beautiful scenery that left a deep impact on Zhu Zhuqing before is here. can not see.
As soon as she walked in, Zhu Zhuqing was enveloped in a sad emotion, which even made her mood bad.There is a small pond behind a piece of dead branches. There is a woman sitting on the bank. Her lower body is immersed in the water and cannot be seen clearly. Her upper body looks sick, her face is pale and very weak.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing coming towards her, she took the initiative to speak, but her voice was so breathless that she couldn't even muster the strength to breathe. "I am the Earthworm of Zhenxiu, the envoy of Zhenxiu. I wonder if this girl is..."
"My name is Zhu Zhuqing. I am the inheritor of the Moon Goddess. I am here to take my eighth test to obtain the power of the stars. I also hope that you..." Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish his words, he was interrupted by water worms. He was interrupted by a violent cough, and he looked extremely weak. There was no trace of a god in him, and he looked completely ill.Zhu Zhuqing didn't even dare to speak loudly for fear of scaring her.
"Lady, I'm going to get the power of the stars for you soon." Zhen Shuiworm's body was swaying, and he almost fell on Zhu Zhuqing when he passed by her.But what shocked Zhu Zhuqing the most was that the Zhen Shui Earthworm, whose upper body was so weak, actually had the lower body dressed as a strong man.
Some people say that the earthworm is a combination of yin and yang. Zhu Zhuqing didn't believe it at first, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was even more frightened.
"Star Envoy, please wait a moment. Sorry for Zhuqing's rudeness, but what happened to you?" Zhu Zhuqing gently supported Zhen Shuiworm with both hands. The two found an open space to sit down. The inheritance through the Moon God is obviously the most important thing. But now when she saw Zhen Shui Earthworm, her heart suddenly tightened. She wanted to help her, no matter whether she would become the moon god in the end or the controller of the 28 constellations, Zhu Zhuqing Everyone wants to help her.
Zhen Shuiworm pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, adding a bitter smile to his pale face, "The girl is kind-hearted, there is nothing I can't say, it's just me who caused the trouble."
In fact, every year, the 28 constellations rotate once a year, and you can leave the alien space and cruise at night in the human world.The year before last, it was Zhen Shuigui's turn. She met a friend during the cruise. Not only did he not mind that she was a yin and yang, but he also didn't laugh at her shy personality. The two got along very friendly.
Later, when Zhen Shuiworm was about to leave, the man begged to take him away with him. It turned out that he was not a human being, but a 10-year-old soul beast that could take the form of a human.Zhen Waterworm couldn't stand the other party's constant pleading, so he took him back to another space. Each star has its own territory and cannot visit each other. Elune has a lot of things to be busy with, so it is okay for the two of them to stay here all the time. Stay safe and sound.
But later on, Zhen Shui Earthworm never expected that that man actually harbored evil intentions and ignored justice for the sake of profit.After stealing Zhensu's most precious treasure, the Zhenshui Divine Pill, without the support of the divine pill, the entire Zhensu environment collapsed. Although Zhensui found out in time and went to hunt her down, she was no longer the opponent without the divine power instilled by the divine pill. Her opponent, that man not only swallowed the divine elixir in front of her, but also directly used the power of the divine elixir to seriously injure Zhen Shui Earthworm with one punch.
The Zhen Shui Divine Pill was robbed, Zhen Su was destroyed, and Zhen Shui Earthworm was in a depressed mood, making her body worse and weaker.If it weren't for the power of the stars that kept her spirit up, she might have been unable to hold on long ago.The reason why she persisted until now was that she was waiting for Zhu Zhuqing's arrival.
Lord Moon God trusted her so much and ordered her to guard the last night of the 28 constellations, but she betrayed the trust of Lord Moon God and other star envoys, and brought devastating disaster to the entire Zhen. She has no face to live anymore. The only thing she can do is to hand over the power of the stars to the next Moon God, which can be regarded as fulfilling her last wish. But who knew that Zhu Zhuqing was not the kind of human who only wanted to become a god, and was actually willing to listen. She talked about these trivial things, which made her even more embarrassed to face the moon god.
Whether it was Elune in the past or Zhu Zhuqing in the future, she was unworthy.
"But why don't you tell Senior Luna? She will definitely help you."
Zhen Shuixiao smiled to himself, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes, "How could I report such a shameful and dereliction of duty to Lord Moon God and pray for her to help me survive? I just want to bring the stars to the world. I gave my power to the successor of Lord Moon God to atone for the sins I committed."
Cowardly and uncontested, Zhen Shuiworm's temperament was as good as ever, but Zhu Zhuqing didn't expect that she would not even fight for the chance to survive.
"Zhu Zhuqing, thank you for listening to me. Come on, accept the power of my stars. This is my last blessing to you."
Zhen Waterworm held the power of the stars in her hands, with tears in her eyes. She was finally able to leave without any scruples.
Seeing that the overall environment of Zhensu was as gray and weak as the power of the stars, Zhu Zhuqing frowned.She glanced at Zhen Shuiworm and raised her hand to push the power of the stars back, "I don't accept it." Her voice was very decisive, and her cold tone made Zhen Shuiworm startled slightly, as if he saw Elune's appearance.
"At least I won't accept it now. There are many beautiful things in life, and even short-lived humans like us know how to live hard. How can you, a majestic god, just give up like that?"
Zhen Shuigui sighed and looked up at Zhu Zhuqing. How could she not know the beauty of life? "I understand everything you said, but the power of the divine elixir is too great, and I myself have suffered devastating injuries. Now I I can’t stand it any longer, so just accept it and let me die in peace, isn’t it?”
Zhu Zhuqing was a little angry and stood up directly. His last wish was to die in peace. He was clearly evading his responsibilities. However, seeing Zhen Shuigui like this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't even curse him.
"Since you are sick, you should treat it. Tell Senior Luna, she will definitely save you."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned as soon as she finished speaking. Yes, she had said that she didn't have the face to see Senior Moon God, but now she was clearly trapped in a strange circle.
"Then there is no one else who can save you? Can't other Star Envoys either?" There was only endless silence in reply to Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing exhaled, feeling very anxious. For one person to give up his life, no matter how others persuaded him, or even Still a person who has hope but no motivation to live, Zhu Zhuqing really doesn't know what to do.
She even thought about asking Ning Rongrong and Oscar to cast the Nine Colors Resurrection Divine Light, but the waterworm did not die like Tang San did at first, and their magical skills had no effect.What should I do? Is there really no way to get the best of both worlds?
Zhen Shuigui stood up with difficulty and stood opposite Zhu Zhuqing. He looked at her and sincerely thanked her. Then he put the power of the stars in her palm and said, "Thank you Zhu Zhuqing. You will definitely become a competent moon god in the future. I hope you will." A star messenger from Zhenxiu will never be like me again. Also, if possible, could you please help me say goodbye to the other star messengers. They have always taken good care of me, but this time I failed them."
"If you want to say goodbye, go by yourself. You will be fine." Zhu Zhuqing pushed back the power of the stars and stared into Zhen Shuiworm's eyes. She suddenly patted her head as if she had thought of something, "I know!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was completely filled with joy. She took out the lake water that the Dripping Horn Wood Dragon had given to her and handed it to the Zhen Waterworm. She nodded firmly at her, "With it, I feel like saying goodbye or something." There is no need, and there will be no new Zhenxian envoys, you can do a good job."
The earthworm drank the lake water, and with just one drop she felt a surging life breath completely filling her body, exuberant and powerful, and the gentle warm current of divine power gradually flowed throughout her body, restoring her body at an extremely fast speed.Seeing that her complexion became rosy and her body was no longer as dry as before, Zhu Zhuqing knew that there was no problem.
Zhu Zhuqing was very happy when he saw Zhen Shuigui sitting down cross-legged to practice.Along with the rebirth of the Zhen water worm, the environment of Zhensu is also reborn.The construction here is almost exactly the same as that of Douluo Continent, and it is very pyrotechnic.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't rush him. Looking at the earthworm, he couldn't help but think of the Jiaomu Jiao. Maybe he gave him a drop of lake water just because he knew the situation of the Zhen waterworm. He didn't expect that the Jiaomu Jiao was so thoughtful and even worried about Zhen. Waterworm refused to accept his kindness, so he excused himself and said it was for Zhu Zhuqing.
The earthworm did not open her eyes, but the power of the stars had already integrated into Zhu Zhuqing's body. She was floating in the air, and her body was occupied by warm currents. The voice of the earthworm was in her ears, very softly, and it fell on Zhu Zhuqing's heart. But it weighs as much as a thousand pounds.
"Thank you."
The door to space reappeared behind her. Zhu Zhuqing took one look at Zhen Shui Earthworm and then walked in with confidence. Now Zhen Su will surely face a new scene, and she will continue with the second step of the assessment.
