North Journey

"Every drink and peck, there is a definite number."

"I saved you today, just to let you die in a suitable place in the future."

"Sleep... After ten thousand years, you will understand how to act..."

"Who am I? You shouldn't ask, you shouldn't ask."

The pair of calm and indifferent light golden eyes in memory came to mind again, Xuanzang listened to Shang Shixu's soft murmur, and the body shrunk in the carapace trembled uncontrollably.

Sure enough it was him...

Sure enough it was him!

Even though he had already felt the power that he could never forget through the breath of blood before, Xuanzang still couldn't help but feel palpitations after confirming the identity of Shang Shixu again.

That "person" is too scary...

Xuan Zang will never forget that day that can even be said to change his entire life.

From the first day when he concealed his Xuanwu real body and interacted with A Li, he had anticipated A Li's possible reaction once the Yaozu's identity was revealed.However, unlike the bloodthirsty, cold-blooded and ruthless swordsman in the rumors, the A Li he met was just a gentle and kind person who could cook delicious food and couldn't find his way home in a daze. girl on the road.

Therefore, after discovering A Li's identity, he still chose to stay and get along with her day and night as an ordinary person.

This kind of concealment is destined not to bring any good results, but at that time he naively thought that he could hide it for a lifetime.

If a lie is told for a lifetime, is it the truth?

He thought so purely, and then accepted Ah Li's sincere treatment without guilt.

However, he did not expect that this lie would be exposed in the end because of the life-and-death battle between his father and A Li.

Father didn't come to look for Ah Li!

—he realized it the first time he saw his father.As the patriarch of the Xuanwu clan, he just came to look for his son who had been absent for a long time.

However, the bitter sword energy on Ah Li's body and the Changli sword that was darkened by the blood of countless monster races made him change his goal.

Father wanted to kill Ah Li, no, to be precise, what father, the patriarch of the Xuanwu clan, wanted to kill was the archenemy of the Yao clan—the Sword Master of Changli!

Even at such a time, Ah Li's first reaction was to protect himself.She thought she was the one who got herself involved, but she didn't expect that if she wasn't her father's son, the place where she lived would not be exposed at all.

A Li's sword is indeed amazing, unlike her gentle and confused nature, her sword is sharp and indomitable.

It wasn't until that moment that he realized why the rumored Sword Master of Changli looked like that.

However, his father's strength was not something Ah Li could resist.

When his father slapped A Li with his palm, when A Li stabbed his father with a sword, for some reason, his body was already consciously stepping between the two of them.

The tortoise shell on his back was pierced by the Changli sword, and his father's palm was imprinted on his chest.

He should be in pain, but at that time, he just thought—ah, it seems that he can't maintain his human form...

For the first time, the Sword Master of Changli, who was always with the sword, let go of her sword during the battle, and her father also had blood churning because of hastily withdrawing his palm.

After leaving a sentence of "I'm sorry" to whom he didn't know, he passed out, and when he woke up, standing in front of him was the "person" covered in light golden light.

Through the man's narration, he knew that he had been "dead" for nearly 800 years.

700 years ago, the fairyland was successfully opened, and my father took the entire Xuanwu clan to the fairyland, where he stayed in a corner and didn't care about world affairs;

600 years ago, Ali ascended to the sky, and she never retrieved the Changli sword from the beginning to the end.

And 100 years ago, there was an inexplicable sign of collapse in the fairy world. The Xuanwu clan sacrificed one by one because of their innate talents, and A Li did not know whether he was alive or dead.

He shouldn't have believed it, ancient times were full of powers, but he had never had a real technique of bringing the dead back to life.What's more, the Immortal World has been in preparation for many years, so how could there be such a sudden disaster?

However, he couldn't help but believe what that "person" said. Although he could only be regarded as an adult when he "died", the divine beast that was loved by the world would always have a little bit of specialness. He could feel that that "person" Every word he said coincided with the original law of the world.

He can only believe.

So Youyou dreamed for thousands of years, and in front of the Xuanwu who missed the opening of the fairy world because of a deep sleep, he wandered for thousands of years on the North Sea with the demon king's palace on his back, until the familiar power reappeared in this world. Waking up from eternal slumber.

The tortoise shell carrying Ah Li's sword energy on his back has long since fallen off, and he has grown a new tortoise shell, becoming stronger than his father back then.

With that bit of nostalgia, he left A Li's inheritance on the replaced tortoise shell based on the Changli sword according to the appearance in his memory, and then brought the Demon King's Palace to the far end of the North Sea.

So be it, when you find that "person", complete the task assigned by that "person", and take a look at the current situation of Ah Li and his father, then everything should be over.

Xuanzang didn't understand why such a powerful existence would do these seemingly meaningless things, but he knew that he didn't need to understand too much, as long as he followed his words, he would be considered a "deserved death"... Haha, well deserved death...

Shang Shixu felt the uneasiness of the little turtle in his hand, so he put him on the couch again, and continued to breathe and adjust his breath.

Although he faintly sensed that this basalt should be absorbing his power, but the inexplicable thought in his mind made him feel that he should indulge his behavior.

What's more, apart from the unrestrained absorption at the beginning, after he passed out, this basalt was obviously suppressing this behavior, trying to make the power he absorbed not affect him.

It seems that this world really hides a lot of things...

Even though he didn't have any memory of the more distant past, Shang Shixu still vaguely felt the specialness of this world.

His innate abilities have been greatly weakened, but he will feel familiar with this world where the future trajectory is blurred.

Nanyu Mountain.

"A sapphire stand, Qianye Green Cloud Committee" has been dyed golden with the arrival of autumn, and the fallen leaves are all over the ground. If you step on it casually, you will make a "click, click" sound.

However, for the Phoenix Clan entrenched here, they didn't like such a scene at all.

Because these fragile and dry leaves are always easy to burn because of the flames they inadvertently release.

Therefore, they didn't understand why the elders of the clan always insisted on setting up the clan's land in this sycamore forest instead of going to other places that were more suitable for them.

"Elder Feng Jue, another child was born in the Nirvana Pool..."

The well-dressed woman in red hurried to the house of Elder Feng Jue, who was responsible for the records of newborns in the clan, and reported the news that should have been gratifying.

The man she called "Elder Feng Jue" raised his head, revealing a face with sharp brows and eyes,

"Huang Yao, don't you understand the rules after so long? What is it?"

A trace of unbearableness flashed in the woman's eyes, but she still didn't dare to hide it.

"It's a redstart..."

The brush in the man's hand was broken, and he stared at Huang Yao with cold eyes, but there was a deep murderous intent hidden in his calm tone.

"Deal with it."

"But, elder..."

"Are you disobeying my orders?"

"...Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Huang Yao was silent for a moment, and finally took orders to leave. She didn't understand why the clan had to get rid of all newborns who were not Phoenix.

It is obvious that quite a few clansmen are indeed children born through intermarriage with other clans, why must they be so cruel...

After the woman's figure was completely gone, Feng Jue, who was originally sitting behind the desk, suddenly covered his chest, his face turned pale.

The spiritual energy around him was constantly surging, and it was so chaotic that it lost its order.

He took out a white jade bottle from his arms, poured out a dark red pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

After a long time, the riot of spiritual energy finally calmed down, Feng Jue rested his forehead with one hand, his face was gloomy.

It's been hard, it's hard to get this power, and it is absolutely not allowed to lose!

Thinking of his only heir who inherited the purest blood of the Phoenix family but was eventually forced to blew himself up to death by those people, a gleam of anger flashed in Feng Jue's eyes.

If he were to know who exactly bewitched Hongshen to come out of the mountain, he would definitely tear that person into pieces!And those humans and monsters who forced Hongshen to death, one day, he will make them pay the price!

The real Phoenix family is long gone, they will be the only Phoenix family in this world, one of the noble four spirits.No one can change this, no one can.

Cultivation has no time.

The path of cultivation that many mortals dream of is actually spent most of the time in daily practice.

Ordinary people who practice martial arts still have to practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer. Those who practice martial arts should not be lazy in their daily life.

However, after all, practice cannot be done behind closed doors, so there are occasional talks between the three sects of Yinxianzong, Qiyangu, and Danya.

The clear talk meeting, also known as the Qingtan meeting, focuses on the topics of origin and end, existence and non-existence, movement and stillness, unity and multiplicity, body and use, language and meaning, nature, famous teachings, etc. See, speak what others have not said, seek the subtlety of the meaning and reach the subtlety." No matter the common things, he only talks about Lao Zhuang.

In Taoist practice, one is to understand nature, and the other is to learn from Taoism. Those who have achieved success in Taoism have their own wonderful theory on righteousness and nature.

The Yinxianzong, Qiyangu, and Danya faction are the leaders of the Taoist sect, and they all praise each other. Although they are modest, why don't they want to compete for who will be the number one in the Taoist sect?

So from time to time, a clear discussion meeting was held. Except for the first and last day, there would be elders from various sects discussing the Dao, and the disciples of the sect would argue with each other and show off their talents on a few days.

And if the words are not harmonious, it may not be impossible to compete with each other in the ring, and try out various techniques and Taoism.

It can be said that this is a rare event for the Taoist sect, which has always been calm.And the disciples of the three sects are also looking forward to it.

And the next meeting will be held in the Yinxianzong in the spring of the next year.

So, at the beginning of winter, Yinxianzong has already started to prepare for the clear talk meeting.

The author has something to say:

I almost fell asleep while writing, so if there are any bugs in this chapter, please be sure to point them out (*/ω╲*)

The content of the talk meeting is mainly modeled on the popular talk in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but people’s talk is harmful to the country, so it’s normal for Taoists to talk about it√

I can't help but pull the Phoenix family out to show their face, I wonder if there will be a little angel guessing Rong Yu's setting for them:-D

See you tomorrow~
