Chapter 177 Substitute Lu 1
The completion of the plot will bring a huge energy boost to the world. But for a 30,000-word plot like this, the protagonist dies after only completing 1,000 words. Let alone energy boost, it would be good if there is no loss.
In the original plot, it was about Ji You's later years. But now, Ji You and the other male protagonist died together before she was even 18 years old, so it can't be considered the end of the plot.
Lu Changning didn't pay attention to how the world consciousness planned to make up for it in the future. He cared about Qu Xiao's future development. Studying in a school without evil spirits, Qu Xiao was successfully admitted to university. After graduating from university, he worked hard and traveled around with his parents.
He did take care of Lu's parents and loved the Lu family's newborn little sister as if she were his own sister. He lived like this until he was seventy or eighty years old, and then he passed away peacefully in his sleep.
After knowing that Qu Xiao was doing well, Lu Changning felt relieved: "Why is the life of Canhun so tortuous in every life?"
Looking at the remnant soul flying back from afar, before it could catch the green, Xiaohong whipped it and threw the poor little thing that had just floated back into the small world.
Lu Changning turned his head and looked at Xiaohong: "So urgent?"
As soon as he said this, a majestic voice sounded behind him: "How is the beautification work of the underworld going?"
This magnetic voice with its own pressure, this momentum, just listen to it, it is the big boss whom he has never met! Lu Changning quickly stood side by side with Xiaohong, burying his head low, for fear of being checked.
Xiaohong, who is usually carefree, was also frightened when she saw the King of Hell: "With the help of Lu Changning, the beautification work of the underworld has been gradually carried out. Although there is no effect now, I believe that it won't be long before we can achieve the target."
Hearing Xiao Hong's words, Lu Changning felt a chill down his spine. This bastard Hong Bian'an, why did you mention my name for such a rubbish? This was originally the work of the Bianhua clan, but you had to involve me. If you fail to complete the task in the end, won't you also implicate me?
After hearing this, the King of Hell hummed and said, "You have to hurry up. The delegation encountered some unexpected situations in the Heavenly Palace, which bought us some time. You two have to build the flower field quickly."
After saying this, before Lu Changning could look up, the King of Hell disappeared.
The boss left, and Lu Changning got angry: "Damn it, I should have cut off my friendship with you earlier. I was kind enough to help you catalyze the flower field, but you ended up hurting me."
Xiao Hong rubbed the branches and said, "Don't say that. We are two ghosts tied to the same rope. What's the big deal if there is one more rope? Besides, Huatian originally used your emotions. The adults knew it at a glance. Do I need to say it?"
Lu Changning was still indignant: "But why did I get an extra task of blooming for no apparent reason?"
"Don't worry, don't worry! It's nothing serious. Your rich emotional experience is enough for me to blossom. Come on, absorb your emotions so that I can hurry to complete the task."
Things have come to this point, what else can be done, irritably turned around, and Xiaohong's branches probed into Lu Changning's soul. When his body felt light, the emotions in his mind had been taken away.
After getting the emotion, Xiao Hong immediately changed her expression and rubbed her hands happily: "Not a small amount, it's really a large amount!"
Lu Changning touched his head, still not understanding something: "Xiaohong, you clearly took away my emotions before, but why do I still have feelings for the remnant souls of previous lives? Sometimes I still can't help but miss him."
After getting the things, Xiaohong was so happy that she could bloom on the spot: "Because I only took away your emotions. Memory is the root, and emotion is the fruit. As long as the root is still there, new fruits will continue to grow. Unless you go to Meng Po to ask for a bowl of soup, otherwise, you will rely on the memories that remain in your brain to produce endless emotions, and I will have endless energy to bloom."
Oh, it turns out that this emotion is renewable, so Lu Changning is more receptive to it. Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to have so many lifetimes of emotions squeezed into the body.
There was no need to chat with Xiaohong anymore. The remnant soul had been gone for some time, and Lu Changning had to catch up quickly.
I plunged into the world Xiaohong described. As soon as I entered the world, I felt something sticky and warm around me. I tried to move, but there were hard and smooth walls around me, and I couldn't break through at all.
"Hongzai, where am I? Am I imprisoned again?"
Xiao Hong's sinister laughter came from my mind: "Hehehe, I chose a good embryo for you, an ancient dragon egg! How about it, isn't it domineering?"
"You said, I am in the egg?"
No wonder it's so sticky around, it turns out it hasn't broken out of the shell yet! By the way, why is it that every time I turn into a dragon, I'm always in such a sticky situation.
Knowing that he was just an embryo, Longzai stopped moving: "Dragons have appeared, so this is a world of immortal cultivation?"
"That's right! This is a world of immortal cultivation, and it is the one with a relatively solid foundation that I have found. According to analysis, this small world should be a fragment of the ancient divine world. Although its quality is far inferior to that of the early years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The quality of this small world is also considered superior among many worlds. It belongs to the upper three thousand worlds."
Xiaohong said a lot in a whisper, but Lu Changning didn't understand much. What about quality and the three thousand worlds? These were things he had never come across before.
"In short, there are many treasures in this world. If you come across a good one, bring some back to me."
Well, after saying so much, this sentence is the key.
"You haven't told me the plot of this world yet, and what role the residual soul plays in it."
"Listen to me carefully!" Xiao Hong cleared her throat and said, "Because the quality of the world is high, there are immortals in this world. These immortals cannot be compared with those patrolling above, but they are not weak either. They protect the peace of this world and guard the entrance to the demon cave to prevent the demons from breaking through the seal and invading the small world."
"There are demons? This world is so scary. I'm just an egg, so weak, I won't be fried and eaten by the demons! Oh my, so scary, even the baby dragon is scared."
"Shut up, you are a demon!"
Okay, Lu Changning shut up. He turned out to be a villain! Even more exciting, he wants to fry and eat all the decent people. Hahahaha, sizzle.
"The demon clan is powerful, and the seal of the demon clan loosens every few years. Therefore, every time it loosens, a spirit body must be offered as a sacrifice to strengthen the seal. The cultivator chosen next time is Wang Ziyue, the eldest brother of Tianyi Sword Sect. The person that the remnant soul has taken over this time is named Xiao Yu, who is Wang Ziyue's junior uncle, but he loves Wang Ziyue."
"Wait a minute, it's normal for a master's uncle to like his nephew?"
"What era is this? Apprentices and masters can still be together, let alone uncles and nephews."
Xiao Longzai fell silent again.
"Besides, this uncle is only older than Wang Ziyue. He is much younger than her. What's wrong with having feelings for a nephew who takes care of him?"
Lu Changning surrendered: "It's my fault, it's my fault, and so what?" Xiaohong was so irritable, I wonder if it was because she absorbed the emotions.
"The sequel is that Xiao Yu couldn't bear to see Wang Ziyue die, so he spent a lot of money to buy a demon snake egg, hoping to hatch the snake and use it to die instead of Wang Ziyue. This snake egg is you."
Now it was Lu Changning's turn to get angry: "So he couldn't bear to part with his nephew, so he would be willing to part with my life! Why am I so miserable? I was born to be a scapegoat. Also, who is the snake? I am the dragon!"
"Your dragon horns haven't even hatched yet, so who knows if you are a dragon or a snake." Xiao Hong said, "Your body was originally an egg that a demon dragon from the demon world passed out using a secret method. Because they were afraid that it would die, they hid your appearance and transformed it into the shape of a snake egg so that you could grow well."
Lu Changning knew: "So, I am the hope for the revival of their demon race?"
"Uh... not really." Xiao Hong said, "In fact, in that battle between immortals and demons, all the immortals and demons of note died in the battle. The sealed place is actually a small fragment of the battlefield from that year's battle. What is sealed inside are some minor demons that are not presentable, as well as the residual aura of immortals and demons. It is not a big deal in the immortal world, but these auras are a disaster for this world, so they must be sealed."
Lu Changning suddenly covered his mouth and said, "So, my egg is a real ancient divine egg. If it is hatched, will it be discovered by the immortal world above?"
Xiao Hong rolled her eyes and said, "Although this egg was thrown by the dragon, it has not been hatched for tens of thousands of years. How could it possibly hatch? It is a dead egg. Otherwise, how do you think we two minions could be reborn in the egg? The divine power in the egg has been completely dissipated. Even if it hatches, it will at most be the aptitude of an immortal. Will the immortal world be afraid?"
It's really sad that it turned out like this.
"So, I was born to die? If that's the case, why do you have to choose Wang Ziyue? I can replace him, so can other monsters." Why bother using him?
"No way!" Xiao Hong said, "The seal we need to repair next time is of the fire element, which counteracts the water seal and is also very fragile. Therefore, we cannot use the fire element alone to repair it, but must find a spiritual object that combines both water and fire elements to repair it. Water and fire counteract each other, and it is rare to find a spiritual object that is strong enough to repair the seal. But Wang Ziyue is such a rare person who possesses both water and fire spiritual roots, so he was chosen."
"And you were born with the fire attribute. The magic dragon covered you with a snake skin with the water attribute, which naturally meets this requirement. That's why you were chosen by Xiao Yu as a substitute."
What bad luck! Lu Changning was unhappy. He had read the picture books of stand-ins for so many years, but he never thought that he would become someone else's stand-in one day.
"So this Wang Ziyue is the male protagonist in the book?"
"No, no!" Xiao Hong smiled. "Wang Ziyue is not the hero, but his father. He loves his junior sister. In the original plot, the egg failed to hatch. Before Wang Ziyue went to repair the seal, he had a relationship with the junior sister. After he entered the seal, the junior sister gave birth to the hero."
"Hahahaha, then Xiao Yu's secret love has failed!"
Xiao Hong gloated: "Of course not, it's infatuation, because the hero is Wang Ziyue's child, Xiao Yu took good care of the child, and even in the end, she didn't blame him when the hero was possessed and killed. She only blamed herself for not taking good care of the child, and felt guilty for the little nephew who was possessed by the devil in the seal."
"Wait, wait!" Bored in the egg, Lu Changning started gossiping: "This Wang Ziyue is not dead!"
Xiao Hong sneered, "What are you thinking? This is the hero's father. He is so hard to kill! After entering the seal, he was infected by the evil spirit and became possessed. In the end, he was released by the villains. As soon as he appeared, he started killing people and didn't recognize anyone. In the end, it was the hero's blood that woke him up. He recognized that this was his son, and then the hero began to look for medicinal herbs to save his father."
Lu Changning turned over and said, "I think this plot is pretty good. Why don't we just let Wang Ziyue enter the seal so that I don't have to suffer. Otherwise, what should I do if his son chases me and calls me dad when he comes out?"
"Just put that worry aside. If Wang Ziyue doesn't enter the seal, it's still unclear who the male protagonist is."
Lu Changning was speechless: "Even if I say it again, can Xiao Yu still have children?"
"Hehe, that's hard to say." Xiao Hong laughed frivolously: "Xiao Yu's identity in this life is not ordinary. Wait, someone is coming. Go and investigate by yourself. I'll go back to plant flowers first, and come to see you later."
After saying that, Xiaohong disappeared in a flash.
Passing by the eggshell, Lu Changning heard someone coming in from outside. The person stood in front of the egg and gently placed his hand on the egg. Then, a stream of pure spiritual energy flowed in.
Feeling the cool and moist spiritual energy around him, Lu Changning turned over comfortably as if he was bathing in the ocean.
The transfer of spiritual energy ended, but the palm was still on the eggshell. Then the person outside sighed: "If it weren't for Ziyue, why would I hatch an egg. I hope you don't know what's good for you and hatch it quickly so that you can complete your mission."
Lu Changning, who was rolling comfortably in the egg just now, immediately started cursing when he heard this. Damn Wang Ziyue, you want me to be your substitute? Dream on. When I break out of the shell, I will fry you and eat you.
The rich spiritual energy attacked again. Lu Changning couldn't resist this strong power and slowly fell asleep.
While he was sleeping, a tiny red dragon was swimming slowly around the embryo. As if summoned, a small black dragon flew out of Lu Changning's embryo. Who else could it be but the big black dragon that was imprisoned in the deep sea. The two dragons swam around the embryo, as if guarding it or communicating with it. As the two dragons swam, the inside of the eggshell gradually changed, and the embryo seemed to be glowing.
Lu Changning didn't know all this, because he was in a dream. In the dream, he was wearing armor and facing thousands of troops alone! Even if thousands of arrows were attacking him, he was still fearless.
