After the sage died

After Jiang Yunzhi finished speaking, seeing that the people around him didn't make a sound, he turned to ask with concern, "What's the matter, Bai Mu? Is it because I'm so fierce that I scared you?"

Zhong Ming was holding his breath right now, but he still didn't leak any water, "How could it be?"

He slowly slowed down his voice, "Your fierceness is not aimed at me."

Jiang Yunzhi smiled, "Of course, most of the time I am easy to talk to."

"Hmm..." Zhong Ming's throat was itchy, and he coughed lightly to change the topic, "Don't mention him. Should we go?"

The full sun in the sky has jumped out of the sea of ​​clouds in a few words, and the golden light has fallen all over the mountain, as if there is infinite hope ahead.

Jiang Yunzhi nodded, "Then let's go."

...

The Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines is located in the largest valley south of Kyushu, not too far from Xunyang City, and it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in front of the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines.

It was agreed yesterday that there will be people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines waiting at the door when it arrives today.

Yin Ran, the guardian of the left, saw Jiang Yunzhi and Zhong Ming, and stepped forward to meet them.Probably because he just got married, his face was radiant and he was very eager.

"How do you call them?"

"Jiang." After Jiang Yunzhi finished speaking, Zhong Ming didn't speak, and then introduced for others, "Brother Bai."

Wan Yao Valley has lived in seclusion all year round, and does not know their identities as "ancient spirits".But Yin Ran didn't neglect the recommendation from Wu Jie, and led the two into the valley sideways, "Brother Jiang, Brother Bai. The owner of the valley is already waiting inside."

Jiang Yunzhi followed him all the way in, and saw that there were many kinds of spiritual herbs planted along the way.

Yin Ran introduced, "The variety of spiritual plants in my Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines is the best in the Three Realms, and the owner of the valley has looked at spiritual plants from all walks of life, and there is no plant he doesn't recognize."

Jiang Yunzhi asked, "Has he seen the other shore flower?"

Yin Ran stopped abruptly, frowning seriously, "Don't be presumptuous!"

The flowers of the other shore are the flowers of the past life, which can only be seen before reincarnation-no matter who the other party is, don't curse their valley owner!

Jiang Yunzhi, "..."

He gently took out the bright red Bana flower from the storage bag, "Open up the layout a little bit."

Not only the dead can see the flower.

The bright red petals swayed with the wind, and the magic barrier enveloped the surroundings for a moment. The Lingzhi herbs seemed to be more affected, and they all moved without the wind.Yin Ran was stunned for a moment, as if her soul had been taken away by the flower.

The same scene happened a day ago.

This time Zhong Ming didn't break the barrier, Jiang Yunzhi couldn't help giving him a sideways glance.

Zhong Ming turned back to him, "He just attacked you."

Jiang Yunzhi, "..." He found that Bai Mu was really naive - not the kind that showed it on purpose, but the kind that showed it inadvertently.

It's hard to imagine that this person is actually a sword cultivator at the peak of Mahayana!

His previous doubts suddenly decreased a bit.

After all, his Ruin Sword is mature and stable, and he is not such a childish person.

Jiang Yunzhi raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Once the demon barrier was broken, Yin Ran suddenly came back to his senses.Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood, and quickly apologized, "I'm too sensitive."

Jiang Yunzhi was tolerant, "It's okay, everyone is a little sensitive."

Zhong Ming curled his fingers behind his back, as if he had been hit by an arrow with precision.

·

The grudge was eliminated, and Yin Ran quickly brought them to Zhilantang.

"Master Gu, the two guests have arrived."

Jiang Yunzhi looked at the man waiting in the hall, who was in his thirties, dressed in plain clothes, with a faint smell of herbs, which was inexplicably calming.

Shen Que, the owner of Wanyao Valley, stood up and raised his hand, "Please sit down. What are you two asking for?"

Jiang Yunzhi and Zhong Ming took their seats, and he cut straight to the point, "I heard that the Bianhua flower can make up the remnant soul after being refined, and it is possible for Shen Guzhu to be refined?"

"You have the other shore flower!" Shen Que exclaimed, "Can you see it?"

"It's natural."

Shen Que held the Bianhua flower in his hand and examined it carefully, but Jiang Yunzhi didn't urge him, but leaned on the chair and waited patiently.

He waited and waited and felt that his mouth was free, he glanced around but saw that only tea was served on the table, he couldn't help twisting his fingertips lonely.

"Wow", a pile of snacks was brought to the side.

Jiang Yunzhi turned his head and saw Zhong Ming raised his chin to himself, with a look of "I really can't help you", "Eat."

Jiang Yunzhi, "..."

Damn it, how did Bai Mu know that he was hungry.And where did these snacks come from?

Shen Que also raised his eyes:?

When guests come to visit, they have to bring their own snacks, which more or less makes him feel a little bit sorry—although he has never seen a guest who is in the mood to eat snacks when he comes to visit.After all, when the illness is so serious that you need to seek medical treatment from yourself, most of them are half buried in the ground.

Shen Que gave orders to the outside of the hall, "Shiyan, prepare some snacks for the guests."

There was a clear answer from outside, "Yes."

After the words fell, Jiang Yunzhi keenly noticed Yin Ran's expression moving slightly, and glanced out a few times.

Before he could observe more, Shen Que on the other side said, "This is the first time I've seen Bianhua."

Zhong Ming said in a deep voice, "Can't practice?"

Jiang Yunzhi heard his voice tense, and seemed to be more anxious than when he was in Misty Palace.I don't know what I'm anxious about, it's like my time is running out.

Shen Que reassured, "Don't worry. The medicine between flowers and plants is similar, and I already know how to refine it. It's just..."

Jiang Yunzhi asked, "It's just that the demonic barrier is too heavy?"

The other side nodded, as if a little ashamed, "If you are contaminated with demonic energy, you may accidentally hurt your Dao heart. If the two of you have channels for 'that aspect', I can tell you the refining method, and you can find another more suitable person." .”

"As long as there is a way." Zhong Ming didn't make things difficult for him, "We will find someone else for the rest."

"So good."

Shen Que quickly picked up a pen and wrote down the refining steps on the paper.

Jiang Yunzhi tasted the words he and Lord Minshuang had spoken, and felt that the two ways of righteousness and evil are not completely opposed to each other.

He still remembered the rumors he heard 1000 years later: It was rumored that there had been a fierce conflict between the righteous and the demonic realms, but for some unknown reason, they calmed down and reached an agreement. .

So what's going on?

Just thinking about it, Zhong Ming's voice transmission sounded in the sea of ​​consciousness, "What are you thinking?"

Jiang Yunzhi was still immersed in thinking, "I'm thinking about Moxiu..."

The voice on the other side suddenly tightened, "You still miss him!"

"Him?" Jiang Yunzhi withdrew from his thoughts and turned his head in doubt.He saw Zhong Ming's wary expression, and his memory suddenly came back—it meant the magic cultivator on the night of praying for the new year?

Jiang Yunzhi looked deeply, "You are sensitive."

At this moment, Zhong Ming also realized that he was thinking too much, he slowly looked away, "After all, everyone is always a little sensitive..."

"Guardian Bai really remembers every word of this sect master."

While talking, a woman came in with refreshments and put them on the table in front of Jiang Yunzhi, "You two, please use."

Jiang Yunzhi took advantage of the opportunity to look up at her, and saw her meet the eyes of Yin Ran, the left guardian next to her, and smiled shyly.

……oh.Jiang Yunzhi came to a sudden, it seemed that this was the marriage that the master facilitated.

"Okay, that's it." Shen Que said as he handed over a paper of alchemy prescriptions.Seeing that Jiang Yunzhi's attention was elsewhere, he smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, our middle left protector is in a period of passionate love."

Shen Que's attitude was very open-minded, Shiyan looked at Yin Ran and smiled again, and then retreated.

Jiang Yunzhi enviously bit a small snack, the sweet taste permeated the tip of his tongue, "It's great to fall in love."

Zhong Ming at the side looked at his yearning expression, and pursed his lips guiltyly: Yes, it's great to fall in love...

Why do you want to wear a vest?

He hates!

Hearing this, Shen Que half-jokingly said, "With Fellow Daoist Jiang's conditions, I don't have to worry about having no suitors. If I can't find someone who fits my eyes, I can also help to pay attention to it in the future."

After the words fell, a vigilant gaze fell over.

Zhong Ming's hand holding the teacup tightened subconsciously: Pay attention to what to pay attention to, the person Jiang Yunzhi likes is himself!

He wanted to quickly reject Shen Que's proposal, but found that with his current status, he didn't seem to be qualified.

Zhong Ming stopped talking and just stared quietly at Jiang Yunzhi.

His mind conveyed: You can't empathize with others, you can't.

"Thank you, Lord Shen Gu, for your kindness." Jiang Yunzhi refused without even thinking about it, but he stopped suddenly when he was on the verge of speaking, feeling a certain unignorable sight from the side.

He paused, then turned around, "I'll talk about it later."

More on that later.It can be understood as a polite refusal, or it can be understood as leaving room for maneuver.

The sight from the side seemed to have a slight shock.

Shen Que laughed and put the topic aside for the time being.

...

Not long after staying in Wanyao Valley, Jiang Yunzhi and Zhong Ming got up to say goodbye.

He put away that prescription, and now he just needs to find someone who can refine it.

After leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, the two of them headed towards the southernmost part of Kyushu at the same time - there is the entrance to the Demon Realm, Yedu River.

Amidst the whistling wind, Jiang Yunzhi's voice was still clear, "It seems that we still have to find the magician."

"Yeah." Zhong Ming's answer sounded absent-minded.

Jiang Yunzhi turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"You..." Zhong Ming pursed his lips into a straight line, and after a moment of hesitation, he said angrily, "If you really want to fall in love, you should consider me first compared to others."

Jiang Yunzhi carefully studied his expression, "You really think so?"

Zhong Ming didn't look at him, but looked ahead and said "hmm".

Regardless of whether he was "Bai Mu" or "Xu Jian", Jiang Yunzhi couldn't look at other people anyway.

Jiang Yunzhi's expression was a little strange: These words sounded like what Bai Mu would say.

Could it be that I was thinking too much?

What he said to Shen Que earlier was just to test, but if "Bai Mu" is really just "Bai Mu", his attitude can't be so ambiguous.

After a few breaths of silence, Jiang Yunzhi spoke again, "It's just a polite refusal."

It can be regarded as denying that he is eager to fall in love.

Zhong Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had to put on a look of disappointment, lest a layer of skin would be peeled off inadvertently, "Oh."

Jiang Yunzhi glanced at his downcast profile several times.

Crossing the river at night.

The only passage in the Three Realms that can go to the Demon Realm.

Originally, according to the cultivation bases of the two of Jiang Yunzhi, it would be more convenient to split the barrier between the human and demon realms with one sword and pass through.But thinking that he was visiting and asking the devil, Jiang Yunzhi still didn't use such an impolite way.

But to his surprise, Bai Mu, who has always been unruly, was willing to walk across the river at night honestly, and didn't say "he directly took the sword to chop".

The two fell into the Yongye Valley outside Yedu River.Jiang Yunzhi turned his head and praised him, "You are very polite this time."

Zhong Ming didn't refute, "After all, you can't add trouble to Deng Deng."

Jiang Yunzhi opened his mouth halfway, and then closed it kindly, without counting how much this person had blocked him before.

Eternal Night Valley is just like its name, it is night at twelve hours a day throughout the year.

The night above is pitch black, and a red line can be vaguely seen in the sky, like a karmic fire burning forever.

Not long after Jiang Yunzhi and Zhong Ming walked forward, they reached the end of the road. At the end was a stone tablet with the words "Devil Realm" engraved on it majestically, for fear that others would not know that this was the entrance to the Demon Realm.

Jiang Yunzhi remembered that it would not be so troublesome to go to the Demon Realm after 1000 years.

And the roads extend in all directions.Especially after the signing of the agreement between Zhengmo and Dao, five teleportation points were specially set up for monks from the two worlds to travel back and forth.

This is the first time for Jiang Yunzhi to cross the river at night.

When we arrived in front of the stele, there was a burst of forbidden fluctuations in front of us.

A strand of translucent soul rose from above the stele, slowly condensing into an irregular shape.A faint demonic energy came from it, and Jiang Yunzhi said, "Magic weapon spirit."

The stele spirit let out a thin and sharp laugh, and a strand of soul circled around, as if sizing up the two people in front of it, "Renxiu, Renxiu... Here comes Renxiu again, Jie Jie Jie Jie."

It turned around and said, "It seems that there are still two very powerful people who are cultivating, no wonder they dare to break into the demon world. I can't stop you anyway, so I will let you go there."

After the words fell, the stone tablet emitted a burst of scarlet light, and an illusory enchantment gate appeared from behind.

"Go~" Bei Ling gave way lightly, "Entering the Demon Realm, life or death is up to no one."

Through the barrier, one can faintly see Yeduchuan glowing with a faint light behind the door.

Zhong Ming ignored the sarcastic remarks of the stele spirit, and walked towards the barrier, "Let's go."

Jiang Yunzhi didn't care about crossing the river that night - the spiritual power in the current cultivation world is thin, and the upper limit of certain dangers has already been determined.

He stepped up to catch up with Zhong Ming, and discussed with others along the way, "Should we release a boat later, so we can slowly swing there?"

Zhong Ming let him go, "It's fine, it depends on what you like."

The two discussed without anyone else.

The moment he passed by the stele, the spirit of the stele suddenly said, "By the way, crossing the river at night is designed to prevent outsiders from pretending to be demon cultivators from disturbing the demon world. The souls of those who cross the river will be reflected by the river water." Clearly."

"You two~ don't blame me for not reminding you."

The footsteps suddenly stopped!

Jiang Yunzhi turned his head to look at Zhong Ming who suddenly stopped in place, "Bai Mu?"

The author has something to say: Zhong Ming: What is this Yedu River? This is clearly the Santu River QwQ

Jiang Yunzhi: Hello, look at me, what are you afraid of?
