I am romantic

Sankong Shanyue, Han Zhenzi

A swirling cloud of wind fell from the sky and landed in the pine forest at the foot of the mountain. After the dust settled, Mang Tianlong and Hu Changqing appeared, with a sleeping Feng Shiyu under the latter's ribs.After they followed Cat Falcon and flew southwest for more than 3000 miles, they lost the Taoist priest in black at the foot of this mountain.

"What kind of mountain is this? It's so high and steep!" Hu Changqing said, looking up at the awning, "It looks deserted, and there's not even a path up the mountain. Did those people go into the cave?"

Feng Shiyu woke up dizzy and found that she was already thousands of miles away.His mind gradually cleared up, and he vaguely recalled the scene at that time, and only then realized that the talk about the soul being taken away was not a joke, but that he felt that his body was fine at the moment, and with his resolute personality, he didn't worry much about it.He thought for a while, and said, "Those four black-robed Taoist priests seem to have magical powers, and they can lead people to fly through the clouds and fog. Maybe they flew to the top of the mountain."

"There are traces left when they fly up. Look at the birds raised by Chang Chong, they obviously can't smell at all." Hu Changqing pointed to the cat falcon hovering blindly above his head and screaming. "Hey, won't your poisonous saliva lose its effect?" He turned his head and asked Mang Tianlong.

Mang Tianlong stared at the steep peak like a pen stand in front of him, his eyes flickered with extremely complicated glints, his face was so gloomy that he seemed about to stab a knife. "Rising Moon Peak...Tianxin Sect!" He squeezed out a few words between his teeth, like unbearable nostalgia or unshakable resentment.

"Why, have you been here before? Do you have enmity with them?" Hu Changqing asked curiously.

Mang Tianlong didn't answer, and he was silently lost in thought until Hu Changqing impatiently wanted to kick him, then he said with a cold face: "This is the cave of the Tianxin Sect. It is rare to communicate with ordinary people, so the magic circle conceals the entire mountain peak, and ordinary people are confused by illusions, and they can't see the entrance at all."

After hearing this, Hu Changqing moved his demonic power into his eyes and looked intently. A round ball of light was faintly emitted from the top of the peak, like silver like water, like a huge furry moon, hanging on the top of the mountain without falling.But before he could see clearly, the hazy halo suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly felt sore in his eyes, almost tearing up, rubbing his eyes hastily.

Mang Tianlong saw that he had almost rubbed out a pair of rabbit eyes, and the small pointed chin looked very pitiful, so he couldn't help reminding: "That is the cave sky 'Kongshanyue' of Tianxin Sect. Those light rays were created by their ancestors The magic circle and restriction personally blessed are not something you can peek at with your little knowledge, so be careful to blind your eyes."

Hu Changqing blinked his glistening red eyes, and said unconvinced: "My way is low, but you are high! You have eaten three or two hundred years more than me, how can you go high? If you are capable, you will take us through that method Now, go into the cave to find those stinky Taoist priests!"

"I am the body of an earth dragon. I hope to fly to the sky after I cultivate a positive fruit. You are an ignorant fox, can you compare?" Mang Tianlong replied arrogantly, with a blue wind blowing from the sleeves of his robe, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet. Hu Changqing, together with Feng Shiyu, who was struggling to look at it but saw nothing, rolled up together, turned into a streamer that circled the mountain for half a circle, and plunged into the cliff behind the mountain.

The wind howled in his ears, and seeing that he was about to hit the rock wall and be smashed to pieces, Feng Shiyu's heart almost burst out of his throat, and he waited to die in peace.His palms were suddenly held by someone, and he opened his eyes suddenly, seeing Hu Changqing smiling and saying, "Don't worry, that cliff is an illusion."

While speaking, the light and shadow on the rock wall in front of him distorted, and quickly faded away like a faded ink painting, revealing a huge pattern of strange lines composed of streaks of red light, like a cinnabar talisman standing upright.They flew in from a certain gap where the red lines intertwined.

Flying in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, a light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and the closer I got to the light, the more damp and cold the water was blowing towards my face.Mang Tianlong said: "Hold your breath. We have to go out from the bottom of the lake."

Hu Changqing hastily performed a trick for himself and Feng Shiyu to avoid water, and the next moment he slammed headfirst into the water, misty and blurry in all directions.

The water is extremely clear, even though it is deep at the bottom of the lake, the skylight and cloud shadows can be seen faintly. In the process of swimming upwards, the rippling waves, like fragments of a crystal mirror, swayed and swirled beside them.Gradually, Feng Shiyu felt dazzled, as if there were many clear pictures appearing on the turbulent transparent fragments, as if he was actually there...

Some fragments reflect my own figure, childhood, present, working, resting... like slices of life that have been extracted.Some of them reflect a lot of places that have never been seen before, and grotesque ghosts. One of the white-haired foxes is quite familiar. If you look closely, it is clearly the original shape of Hu Changqing. When he got older, how was he adopted by a pair of mature old foxes who looked like old people, who were given spells and started to practice; until his wisdom suddenly enlightened, he transformed into a human form, and then he was expelled from the cave and wandered around...

On some transparent fragments, the figure of Mang Tianlong was reflected.Feng Shiyu was curious for a moment, and reached out his hand to lightly touch the nearest small piece of shimmering image, and suddenly his mind was like fireworks, and sparks fell randomly, several images poured into the bottom of his heart, and spread out vividly in front of his eyes——

Late at night, the thunder is still and the wind is quiet, and the fireflies are falling all over the ground, and the little green light flickers on and off, very sparse and sad.A pair of straw shoes woven with bamboo leaves walked past the fireflies, and the breeze raised their feet, but they didn't step on a bug.

The straw shoes walked into a large piece of scorched ground that was emitting green smoke, and stopped.The owner of the shoe, a young Taoist in a white burlap robe and a bamboo crown, bent down to pick up a piece of charcoal as thick as a forearm from the edge of a smoldering tree trunk.

The young Taoist's clothes are extremely simple, without any superfluous decoration, but his appearance is impeccably handsome, his skin is as warm and soft as jade, and his expression is calm and peaceful.

"There is still a bit of Yuanling left... You can earn a ray of life from the thunder and fire of the sky, and you are considered extraordinary." He said softly to the long charcoal stick in his hand, "Since I met you, it means that there is something in the dark. Fate, I will save your life, and then you can stay as you like." The Taoist's fingertips were surrounded by a breeze, which brought a burst of Otoki's flourishing energy, and instantly healed the injury after the lightning strike, showing the original appearance of charred, it turned out to be A python with blue and black patterns.

The python's amber eyes shone brightly, and it seemed to be quite spiritual. After being placed on the ground by the Taoist, he hesitated for a while looking at his back, and said in a human voice: "You have great magic power, I want to follow you."

The Taoist has no choice but to move on.

The boa constrictor followed silently, and asked after a while, "Who are you?"

"Tianxin faction, Han Zhenzi."

"You have a name, why don't I? I want a name too."

Han Zhenzi walked towards the huge bright moon between the mountains in the distance, and his whole body seemed to be melted into the silver light. His echo came from the night wind: "You have opened your spiritual wisdom with the body of a python, and you can realize Taoism and practice from now on. If you achieve a positive result, you may not be able to take advantage of the weather to transform the dragon, so let's call you 'Mang Tianlong'."

In the courtyard of a forest abode, Han Zhenzi was lying on a flat boulder under the bamboo, as if he closed his eyes and meditated.

The blue-black boa constrictor emerged from the bamboo forest and climbed up the boulder with ease.It is now as thick as a wine jar and three or four feet long, but it still swims towards Han Zhenzi as before, wrapping around his body, with its huge snake head sticking to his chest.

"I'm about to become a human," said the boa constrictor. "What do you want me to look like?"

Han Zhenzi patted the scales on the side of its neck in the sleepy state: "Whatever."

"What do you mean by 'casual'? Don't tell me you don't care what I look like in the future?" The boa constrictor licked him with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "You don't want to see an unpleasant face every day, do you?"

Han Zhenzi opened his eyes helplessly.He was originally a quiet and taciturn person, but when facing the snake he picked up, he had to spend a lot of time talking: "The appearance is just an illusion. When I look at you, what I see is you. It doesn't matter if you look good or bad. You Now it is my Tianxin Sect's mountain guardian spirit beast, but its demeanor still can't change its monstrous aura, when will it be able to achieve a positive result."

"I don't want to be a mountain-protecting spirit beast," the boa constrictor muttered, "It's enough to protect you alone, who cares about the others! Two days ago, one of your idiot disciples came to curry favor with me with a deer essence, and almost made me Even people and deer are swallowed, if you don't want to clean up the house, tell your disciples and grandchildren to stay away from me."

"...a wicked beast." Han Zhenzi tapped the snake's head with his knuckles, half angry and half laughing.

The boa constrictor rubbed its head on his front lapel indifferently, seeming to enjoy it quite a bit.

"Why?" Mang Tianlong, who turned into a human form, shouted lowly, his face was ashen, his eyes were full of fanaticism and anger, "Do you think I am a monster, not worthy of you? Or is this appearance not to your liking? Tell me, do you like it? I can become whatever I look like, as long as you nod, I can also become a stunning beauty..."

"—Absurd!" Han Zhenzi interrupted.He was clamped on the stone wall by the burly Mang Tianlong, but in the shadow and oppression of the opponent, he exuded a calm and calm aura. "Whether it's a demon or a human, whether it's a man or a woman, it's all passing in my eyes. The Dao is ruthless. If you want to cultivate immortality, you should cut off worldly desires. Why don't you realize it?"

"It's been 400 years, it's been 400 years since we first met! I've realized it long ago, why bother to be in love so far... It's said that people are not ruthless, can it be that you have a little affection for me after getting along for so long No points?"

"All love is an obstacle on the road to longevity. Whoever wants to bind me with this will be killed! Don't force me to do it."

Like a pot of ice and snow in his pocket, Mang Tianlong looked at Han Zhenzi desperately, as if he had only fully awakened at this moment. Hidden under his handsome and elegant face and calm expression was a resolute, indifferent Heart.For him, proving the Tao and immortality is what he wants all his life, for which he can give up and sacrifice everything, including himself who has been with him for hundreds of years...

"You can go down the mountain now. I won't stop you. If you still want to stay, don't bring up such topics again." After Han Zhenzi finished speaking lightly, he pushed Mang Tianlong away and walked away.

Mang Tianlong stared at his back, his expression fluctuating between anger, pain, love and disappointment, and finally a trace of violent evil spirit flitted from his gloomy eyes.

With the sound of splashing water in his ears, Feng Shiyu woke up suddenly, and found that Hu Changqing was carrying his belt, broke through the lake, and landed on the forest by the lake.The image fragments that he saw just now quickly faded from his mind like the melting of the first snow. He couldn't help looking at Mang Tianlong beside him, wondering wildly in his heart: Is that an illusion?Or something that actually happened?This big green python was once the mountain guard spirit beast of Tianxin Sect?And how do you become a wild fairy in the mountains and forests?That Han Zhenzi seems to have a high level of morality, and I don't know how their entanglement ended in the end...

Ever since Mang Tianlong saw Shengyue Peak, he had no good face at all, turned his head and glared at Feng Shiyu: "What are you looking at? If you look at it again, I will eat you!"

Hu Changqing stared back at him tit for tat: "How dare you!"

Feng Shiyu hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking curiously: "I was in the lake just now, and saw some inexplicable scenes, including myself, a white fox, and some mountain spirits and wild monsters... What is that?"

"Oh, you saw it too?" Hu Changqing exclaimed, and suddenly forgot that he was arguing with his old rival, and asked Mang Tianlong with a face full of shame: "This lake is strange, I saw some previous scenes, what happened? thing?"

Mang Tianlong ignored him, stared at Feng Shiyu and asked, "What else did you see?"

Feng Shiyu wouldn't be so stupid as to say it, if any sentence offends the other party and insists on swallowing him alive, I'm afraid the fox who is strong on the outside won't be able to stop him, shaking his head and saying: "The picture is moving too fast, I can't see it." clear."

Mang Tianlong turned his cold eyes away from him, and turned to leave. Hu Changqing grabbed his sleeve relentlessly: "Don't go, you haven't told me what's going on with this lake! If you don't want to tell me, I'll jump down and have a look."

Mang Tianlong tugged on his sleeves twice, but did not do so, so he had no choice but to answer: "The name of this lake is 'Suguang', and it is the only passage leading to the inner mountain from the phantom array on the back cliff. Then there are some supernatural powers, which will reflect the fragmentary past of those who entered and exited the water, but they are only fleeting, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. Hurry up, if the disciples who patrol the mountains find out, there will be extra problems."

Hu Changqing let go of his hand in satisfaction, "Don't worry, Qi Ye is best at invisibility. By the way, does your snake letter work, and can you still smell the saliva on those bull noses?"

The dog couldn't spit out ivory, Mang Tianlong wanted to plug his mouth.After finishing the work later, he will deal with the fox severely, he vowed secretly, turning into a gust of wind and flying forward.

Hu Changqing quickly slapped an invisibility spell on Feng Shiyu, and followed him with him.

Mang Tianlong was very familiar with the terrain of the inner mountain, so he avoided many passing Taoist priests and magic circle organs, and entered a remote palace embedded in the mountain rocks.He stopped in the empty hall, sniffed the scent carefully, and said with a frown, "Those Taoist priests passed by here half an hour ago, but the traces were suddenly interrupted, and the investigation cannot continue."

Feng Shiyu looked at the inner hall full of ever-burning lamps, and asked doubtfully, "How could a few big living people disappear without a trace in an instant, could it be... Are there any dark rooms, secret passages, etc. in this hall?"

"I don't know about that. When I was on the mountain, there was no such hall." Mang Tianlong said.

"Let me go!" Hu Changqing piled up his sleeves, "Qiye is the best at digging holes to hide treasures—oh no, it's about searching for secrets." He blew a gust of cold wind, extinguished the candles that filled the hall, and then blew the candles from his waist. He took out an ordinary small bottle from his leather pouch and threw it into the air.

The porcelain vase exploded with a bang in the air, and countless tiny turquoise lights fluttered down one after another, like shimmering snow hail covering the interior of the hall, appearing extraordinarily beautiful and mysterious in the darkness.Most of the light spots melted quickly, while the remaining light spots left traces on the door, table, and tent.Hu Changqing proudly said: "The night phosphorous powder will be adsorbed on the places that the human body has touched, leaving traces of fluorescence. The fresher the traces, the brighter the fluorescence. You can see which spot is the brightest, it is the few stinky Taoist priests not long ago. left."

Feng Shiyu searched around as he said, and sure enough, he found a bright palm print on the bookshelf behind the curtain. Looking carefully at the palm prints, they were overlapping, with varying degrees of fluorescence, as if they had been touched continuously for a period of time.

"It should be here." Mang Tianlong said, put his hand on the palm print, and spit out his demon power.

The bookshelves remained motionless, and nothing changed in the hall.

Mang Tianlong thought for a while, his demonic energy was exhausted, and a trace of pure Taoist true energy circulated in his palm.He had studied the Tianxin Fa of the Tianxin School, and even though it clashed with his demonic aura and had little effect, he was able to condense it more or less.

The stone slab under his feet suddenly felt a shock, and a huge square tripod in the center of the hall sank slowly, revealing the dark space, and the teleportation circle outlined by the cinnabar runes appeared in the void.

The three of them walked into the magic circle, a white light flashed on the runes, and the figures in the circle disappeared immediately.Then the white light dimmed, Fang Ding rose slowly, and the hall returned to calm.
