Qixuan

Huangquan, three thousand feet, the colder it gets as it goes down.

The ghost kings of all dynasties died of humiliation, trapped by hatred, and could not be reborn and liberated. They were washed by the cold water of Huangquan in Huangquan day and night.

The body of the Hell Envoy is a dragon born in Huangquan. When the previous generation was born, manjusawa was in full bloom on the bank of Huangquan, so he called himself: Zhuohua.

Recipe, Shining.

Presumably, the appearance of the previous generation of Hell Envoys is not much different.

In the depths of Huangquan, not a single blade of grass grows, bones are everywhere, and resentment lingers all year round.

Yan Heng closed his cloak, and he walked towards the trees not far away. This is the only living thing in Huangquan, so it doesn't count.

Because there is no leaf on this tree, the scorched branches seem to have been burned by fire, and there is a huge cut on the trunk. If you look inside, you will find that the inside of this tree is like a bottomless pit, with no boundaries everywhere. .

Ghost King Duanyu sat leaning on a branch as if asleep, her peaceful face was no different from that of an ordinary child, except for the innate ghostly aura around her.

Yan Heng stood still under the tree, he stretched out his hand to caress the scorched trunk.

This was originally a building tree cut down by Zhuan Xu, but for some reason it took root here again.

"Brother likes Jianmu?"

Duanyu didn't know when he woke up, he sat on the branch and looked at Yan Heng with his head tilted.

Yan Heng said softly, "I just didn't expect Jian Mu to be at the bottom of the Underworld."

Duanyu jumped down from the Jianmu, and said in a childlike voice: "The Jianmu has been cut off by Zhuanxu, the Jianmu here is no longer a sacred tree, it is a ghost tree that absorbs the ghost energy of the Yellow Spring and is reborn, you see Its scorched black torso should know that it has no spirit, and no soul."

Yan Heng said: "It is said that the wood god of Jianmu was exhausted in the battle of the gods, and was forced to sleep in the depths of the Minjiang River, and part of his spirit was also turned into ebony."

Duanyu smiled and said, "Brother, let me tell you a story."

Before Yan Heng agreed, Duanyu started talking on her own.

"I don't know if my brother has heard of the Lich War. I believe Brother Zhuohua should have told you something. If it wasn't for the Lich War, you cultivators would not be so rampant now." Speaking of this, Duanyu snorted coldly One sound.

"The Lich War ended with the loss of all the Liches and the prosperity of the Human Sect. The remnants of the Wu Clan hid in Jiufeng as their capital. Poor Jiufeng, that stupid girl, wanted to kill Zhuanxu's reincarnation. She really deserved to be punished. She is now locked in the crevice of the stone leak and will never come out. However, that is all a matter of the prehistoric era. Now the two clans of liches are sparsely populated. The four now, don’t you think so, brother?” Duanyu looked at Yan Heng with a smile, and covered her lips with her sleeve.

Yan Heng remained silent.

Duanyu continued: "Most of the monster races now exist in Xuanming Island of Dongzhou, Fengxue Valley of Beizhou, Flames of Nanzhou, and City of Bliss in Xizhou. However, the City of Bliss should now be replaced by Qixuan Mountain." It must be crushing. At the end of the Lich War, both sides died together, without these great powers, the Lich clan is now half dead."

Duanyu turned around suddenly, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the ghost tree, "There is no place for me in the witch clan, but it doesn't matter, they are so ruthless, so don't blame me. Now that the human religion has occupied the peak for so long, is it Shouldn't you change seats?"

Yan Heng said: "The ghost king of the previous generation also thought so."

Duanyu turned around with a sneer and said, "The ghost king of the previous generation? Brother, are you kidding me? How could such a stupid pig accomplish such a magnificent thing! Brother, do you know the difference between me and him?"

Duanyu stared blankly at Yan Heng, and he didn't intend to ask Yan Heng to answer him, so he continued: "Because I am Xuanming, I thought that Nuwa would save us at the beginning, it seems that I have too much affection for her. The hope is gone, and the number of days is irreversible? Oh, it's ridiculous! Isn't it, brother? Do you believe in the number of days? The number of days makes you die now, will you die immediately?"

Duan Yu winked at Yan Heng playfully, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Duanyu looked at the expressionless Yan Heng, and said with a smile: "Brother, why don't you smile? You look the best when you smile. I will continue to tell you about your little lover. This is It happened during the battle of the gods, and there were problems with those high gods. Some of them fell into demons for various reasons. Ah, no matter how long life is, there is only one real life, and there is no chance of reincarnation."

Yan Heng frowned.

Duanyu blinked her eyes and said, "Brother, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Didn't those pedantic old men on Qixuan Mountain tell you? Demon men and demon cultivators are different. Demon cultivators enter the Tao because of their demons, and The devil was a real god thousands of years ago. The devil has a kind heart and is willing to give the devil cultivators a place of protection so that they can gain a firm foothold in Kyushu."

"You cultivators, what's the point of fighting against yourself? Demon cultivators, demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, and orthodox cultivators are all of the same way. For hundreds of years, under the banner of maintaining the order of the world, one's own people have fought against their own people. What's the point? Your real enemies are us." Duanyu approached Yan Heng calmly, with contempt in his eyes.

Yan Heng said: "Liches have the same origin. Didn't you all fight like crazy ten thousand years ago? As you said, there is nothing wrong with the banner of maintaining the order of the world. If you let any of you, including demon cultivators, demon cultivators, and ghost cultivators One is the main one, and when the time comes, the rivers and mountains may be stained with blood, wars will rage everywhere, and the people will live in dire straits, will you really think about ordinary people?"

Duanyu smiled and stretched out her hands to grab Yan Heng's hair hanging on her chest and said, "Brother is really kind-hearted. People who practice Taoism are not allowed to become officials, participate in state affairs, or marry the royal family, but those so-called royal families can send How unfair it is for blood relatives to practice, those people are a bunch of bastards, who makes them so weak when they die. This world is a world where the weak prey on the strong, right?"

Yan Heng opened Duanyu's hand and said, "I didn't come to listen to your story today, what is your purpose for asking Gongsun Yuebai to practice the gods' swords?"

Duanyu shrugged, and replied truthfully: "Of course it is to split the Minjiang River, find the wood god of Jianmu, and make the ghost tree a real ghost tree! If brother doesn't stop me, I will give you whatever brother wants, The head of Qixuan Mountain, or the Emperor, or even the emperor of the entire Kyushu, is fine!"

An almost crazy smile appeared on Duanyu's face.

Yan Heng brushed Duan Yu's hand away, "I'm not that interested."

"Hahaha, this is not funny at all." Duanyu shook his head, turned around and jumped onto Jianmu, and said, "Brother, let's go, since you can't conspire with me, don't bother me."

Yan Heng saluted and said in a cold voice: "Then first wish the Ghost King good fortune."

Duanyu said: "If brother wants to open up one day, you are always welcome here, after all, there is a shortage of talents like you here."

Ji Chen walked out of the room, exhaled slowly, this was his normal work and rest time.

Today is the end of the year, so naturally there are many things to do.

Bai Xue packed up the medicine basket and planned to go up the mountain to pick up medicine again, she said without raising her head, "Ah Chen, breakfast is in the kitchen, remember to eat it, I'll go pick medicine first, if you want to eat something tonight, go to the street Go buy it and wait for me to come back to do it."

Ji Chen smiled and said, "Is there anything Elder Sister Bai wants to eat?"

Bai Xue carried the medicine basket on her shoulders, "I can eat anything, but you can buy whatever you like."

Ji Chen nodded in agreement, he went to the kitchen and obediently finished his breakfast.

Ye Feng jumped out of the ring, looked at Ji Chen and asked, "Where did you go last night, Master?"

Ji Chen swallowed the last mouthful of buns and said, "I went to the east of the city. I got some clues last night. A lot of beggars in the ruined temple in the east of the city were taken away. I thought it might have something to do with Qin Yanming, so I went to have a look." Didn't Gongsun Yuebai do anything yesterday?"

Ye Feng shook his head, "I was guarding Miss Bai yesterday, but I didn't find Gongsun Yuebai."

Ji Chen stretched comfortably, "It's been another year, do you have anything you want to eat?"

Ye Feng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, this year, do you plan to get ready-made ones from Dongfengju, or buy the ingredients and make them yourself?"

Ji Chen said: "Take the ready-made ones. Sister Bai won't have the energy to cook again when she comes back later. There should be some sweet melons on the street today."

Ye Feng felt his teeth ache when he thought of the sweet taste of Tanggua, and asked a little tiredly, "Master, why do you like sweets so much?"

While walking, Ji Chen said: "Sweet is so good, don't you like those salty, spicy, bitter, sour?"

Ye Feng said: "Not really."

Ji Chen explained: "When I was young, when I was very young, every time my mother came back, she would bring me some sweet things like candied haws, apple candies, snacks, etc. Every time, she would let me eat a little bit to satisfy my cravings. Let me gargle, maybe when I was young, I expected more, but when I grow up, I want more."

Ye Feng thought for a while and said: "When the young master is eating sweets, he also wants to miss the feeling when the wife is still there."

Ji Chen laughed, and said without hesitation: "Yes, besides, she has been dead for so long, and she doesn't know where her reincarnation went."

Ye Feng felt that something was wrong and immediately shut up, silently followed behind Ji Chen, doing a good job as a housekeeper.

The streets and alleys of Beiyan City continued the bustle of yesterday. Red lanterns were hung at the entrances of all the shops, and some were busy posting couplets.

Ye Feng looked at it and said, "Do you want to buy the couplet, or write it?"

Ji Chen went to a booth, picked out a roll of red paper and said, "You write when you go back."

Ye Feng took the red paper silently.

The two of them hadn't had a long meeting, and Ji Chen was holding a bunch of things in his arms. He went back and forth in front of a clothing store many times.

Ye Feng walked around with him until he felt dizzy, and couldn't help asking: "But you want to buy clothes? But the clothes here don't have the bonus of secret methods."

Ji Chen put the things in his arms into the ring, he thought for a while and said, "Won't there always be new clothes in the New Year, and Sister Bai's clothes are just a few, should I buy some for her?" After speaking, he walked into the tailor shop.

The boy from the clothing store warmly greeted him, and asked with a smile, "Young master, what kind of clothes do you want? We have everything here, and we can make it according to your requirements."

Ji Chen thought for a while and said, "Help me get a few sets of skirts, half-arms and long gowns for girls. The colors are mainly plain. The figure is thin and almost reaches my chest."

The boy said: "Come on, young master, wait a moment, I'll go get you some sets and see if you like them."

There was a commotion in the street outside, and the vendors stopped what they were doing and craned their necks to look around.

"Someone fell into the water!"

"Come on people!"

Ji Chen glanced out and then withdrew his gaze.

Ye Feng hurried in from the outside, he opened his mouth with a flustered expression, "Mr...Mr...."

Ji Chen looked at Ye Feng's flustered look, and his smile immediately froze on his face. Ye Feng, as a qualified manager, can do everything well and is not afraid of danger, this is the first time for Ji Chen to see A flustered expression appeared on Ye Feng's face, and he forced himself to smile and ask, "What's wrong? Didn't you go to Dongfeng Residence?"

Ye Feng collected himself, "Miss Bai has an accident, and she is by the Miyue River."

Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and told the boy: "Please wrap up my clothes for me, I'll get them later." Then, he rushed into the crowd without looking back.

What could make Ye Feng panic?Ji Chen couldn't figure it out, but when he ran to the place Ye Feng said, he didn't know what he should do for a while.

Desperately, Ji Chen pushed his way through the surrounding crowd, and saw a peddler standing helplessly beside Bai Xue, Ji Chen stumbled and walked over, he knelt beside Bai Xue, and the place he touched was icy cold.

"Doctor Bai seems to have drifted from the mountains..."

Ji Chen couldn't listen to what the peddler said behind him.

Baixue's skin was white from the blisters, and the flesh around the wound on the forehead was turned out, glowing a lifeless gray.

is that a lie.

is that a lie!

is that a lie! !

is that a lie! ! !

is that a lie……

Ji Chen slowly helped Bai Xue up, all her breathing and heartbeat had stopped.

Ji Chen felt that he was in a trance, his lips moved a few times but he didn't make a sound.

The eyes hurt, but the heart hurts more than the eyes, and it hurts so much that I can hardly breathe.

Ye Feng stood aside with frowning, "Master, please mourn, Bai...Miss Bai's soul is no longer in her body."

"Are...are you kidding me? My elder sister Bai is not married yet, I promised her to help her plan the grandest wedding!" Ji Chen bit his lips hard a few times, and woke himself up from his trance. The voice trembled: "I... I don't believe it... I don't believe it!"

Layer after layer of blood-red mist surged around Ji Chen's body, he raised his head to the sky and screamed, his voice became extremely hoarse.Ji Chen held Bai Xue's cold hand, trying in vain to pour demon energy into her body to wake Bai Xue up.

Fortunately, Ye Feng stopped him in time, "My lord, don't be like this, Miss Bai is just an ordinary person, if you do this, she might not even leave her bones."

Ji Chen withdrew his hand, touched his face rudely and said: "Take the soul-calling flag, I want...call the soul! No matter what, she can't die!"

Ye Feng looked at Ji Chen's face in horror, and said worriedly: "My lord, you..."

Ji Chen's eyes were red and bloodshot, and red liquid kept rushing out of the eye sockets, he only felt that his vision was blurred, Ji Chen pushed Ye Feng away, and pulled out a soul-calling banner from the ring.

Regardless of Ye Feng's obstruction, Ji Chen bit his wrist fiercely, and warm blood gushed out instantly, Ji Chen's finger was covered with blood, and he drew a rune on the handle of the summoning banner.

Ye Feng pulled Ji Chen over and slapped him cruelly, "Master, calm down, it's useless for you to conjure souls like this, you don't know how to conjure souls at all, besides, Miss Bai is a soul that was drawn by life." !"

Ji Chen came back to his senses, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his right cheek that was hurt by the beating, and said dully: "That's it, it's Gongsun Yuebai again. Ye Feng, you help me settle down for Sister Bai, and then you have to put Qin Yanming to death no matter what. Get it out for me!" After speaking, Ji Chen took out the umbrella from the ring and rushed towards Beiyan Mountain.

Ye Feng roared, "Ji Chen!!!"

Yan Heng found Ji Chen on the mountainside of Beiyan Mountain. At that time, he was holding a tree that was vomiting blood, and Yan Heng put away the Yuechen Sword, not disliking Ji Chen for being covered in blood and hugging him in his arms. middle.

Yan Heng said softly: "Hey, calm down." He gently stroked Ji Chen's back, feeling Ji Chen's tense muscles slowly relax.

Ji Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, "I searched all over Beiyan Mountain but couldn't find Gongsun Yuebai. Did Ye Feng tell you that I'm here?"

Yan Heng said: "Well, he went looking for me."

Ji Chen stretched out his hand and pushed Yan Heng away, "Is that divine stone really so powerful? Can any wish come true?"

Yan Heng reached out his hand to wipe the blood on Ji Chen's face and said worriedly: "You don't want your eyes anymore?" He stretched out his hand to let him see the blood on his hand.

Ji Chen rubbed his eyes, and said as he walked, "My eyes were injured before, didn't you ask me that night?"

Yan Heng sighed silently, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ji Chen said, "Look for the divine stone."

Ruochen seemed to have expected the dark side of Beiyan Mountain halfway up the mountain, and stood on the trestle bridge waiting for Ji Chen.

Ruochen smiled and said, "Master Ji, you are here."

Ji Chen waved his hand, "I don't have time to talk to you today."

Ji Chen bypassed Ruochen and walked in the direction of the divine stone.

Ruochen turned around and said, "Does the donor have no idea whether this sacred stone can fulfill the donor's wish?"

Ji Chen froze for a moment, and his body froze in place for an instant.

Ji Chen knows best whether Shenshi can retrieve Sister Bai's soul, or revive her.The living soul refers to the soul with an unfinished lifespan, that is, when the person is still alive, the soul is forcibly stripped out of the body and enjoys the pain of skinning and deboning. Where can such a soul be found? People will go after it.

Ruochen took out a bronze-colored dagger from the monk's robe, with a circular depression on the handle, he said to Ji Chen: "Even if the person the benefactor asked for came back, can the benefactor be sure that it is the original person? The donor is by nature random, and the only person who can restrain you is yourself. If the donor is born with a small amount, then you will be bound by yourself in this life. Why don't you be so hard to be persistent? ?”

Ji Chen took the dagger and walked towards Shenshi step by step. He used the dagger to cut through the water curtain, and said casually: "The road I have traveled, the people I have met, the things I have done, and the road I have paved the way, I hope that the future will come to you." Life can not repeat the same mistakes, my sister was murdered by a traitor, how can I let that person run free?"

Ruochen smiled bitterly and said, "The idea of ​​the benefactor is not the same as Miss Lin Ning back then?"

Ji Chen stopped in front of the divine stone, looked at Ruochen and said, "The essence is the same, but actually it is different. The current me is much stronger and capable than the current her." After finishing speaking, he will Putting his hand on the sacred stone, he silently recited Gongsun Yuebai's name.

The water washes over Ji Chen's fingers, and the coolness flows through the palms of his hands as if he had spiritual consciousness. There are more memories in Ji Chen's mind that don't belong to him. It's Gongsun Yuebai... and Gongsun Yan, where is this?

The backyard of the Qin Mansion!

Ji Chen put down his hands and chuckled, "Now we can settle the old and new debts together."
