What followed was a long wait.

Did the reinforcements in Hong'an rush back first, or did the remnants outside the gate impatiently attack the city first?

Or, wait until Xie Changming comes back first.

Sheng Liuyu didn't look any more after performing the illusion, but went to the other side of the bell tower, which was facing the direction of Dayan Mountain.His mastery of illusion is already at its peak, there is no need to look any further.

The sun was very bright at noon, Pi Li diligently cast a magic spell to cover Sheng Liuyu from the sun.

Because they planned to leave after getting the Soul-Living Grass, and Xie Changming asked the fat cat to protect some Shengliuyu, and also gave it a lot of spirit stones, so it is using it recklessly now.

Yun Yi and Cheng Xian stood on the other side, and Yun Yi asked in a low voice, "Who is this...?"

She originally wanted to say "people", but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not appropriate, and it might be an offense, so the ambiguity passed.

Before that, Cheng Xian didn't intend to tell anyone about Xie Changming, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't hide it any longer, so he briefly explained the matter.

After Yun Yi finished listening, she was startled: "Is that so..."

She can't quite react yet.

The remnant army outside the city attacked suddenly. Seeing that there were still many guards in the city, they were frightened for a moment and did not dare to act rashly. They just patrolled around the city gate and did not break in.

Cheng Xian stared intently for a long time, and saw Sheng Liuyu next to him, who had already wiped out his previous impression, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Sheng, what kind of immortal are you?"

In normal times, Sheng Liuyu is always ignorant of people, but he is not overly arrogant, he is just blind and deaf, and hides from people with the name of practicing closed mantra, so no one in Lulin Academy dares to question him.

In fact, although Sheng Liuyu was indeed difficult to approach, it was not too difficult to say a few words.

Like now, he answered questions that didn't matter and didn't bother him.

Sheng Liuyu corrected the mistakes in his words and said: "I'm not a god, I haven't cultivated yet."

He said again, "It's the Changming Bird."

Cheng Xian was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he said thoughtfully: "That Mr. Xie is called Xie Changming, you—"

Sheng Liuyu blinked, as if it was the first time someone reminded her of this problem.

Also, when I was in the academy, no one dared to say the name of the divine bird.

Sheng Liuyu thought for a moment: "It's probably a coincidence."

Cheng Xian: "..."

He thought it was unlikely.

Half a day later, at dusk, there were commotions outside the city.

Cheng Xian expected that the phantom of the soldiers inside the city did not disappear, they just stood guarding the city gate in full battle, but they did not intend to drive away the enemy troops, which made the remnant soldiers outside the city suspicious.

Of course, it was impossible for them to know that it was all a colorful illusion created by Sheng Liuyu. They just guessed that there were actually insufficient troops in the city, or lack of weapons. In short, they had no strength to fight.

Actually it doesn't.

The reinforcements in Hong'an have not yet arrived.

Desperate people can do anything, they have to fight for their lives.

Cheng Xian saw the army split from the middle, and the heavy weapons used for the siege slowly rolled out.

It was a brand new machine that strangled flesh and blood. It was a weapon that didn't work in the last battle, and it was not willing to throw away so many lives. Now it can tear through the defenseless Tongcheng without any effort. .

Cheng Xian grasped the railing tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "There is no other way..."

Human blood, life, all these are vulnerable to hot weapons.

Rather than staying here to die, he wanted to send Sheng Liuyu and Yun Yi out before the machine started.

Sheng Liuyu has only seen this kind of machine monster in movies. Compared with the images in black-and-white movies, the weapons in reality look expensive, cold, and shimmering with metallic luster. It seems that they can easily harvest the lives of countless people.

Sheng Liuyu stood up, let go of his hand, and the cat in his arms fell lightly to the side, and also jumped onto the gray-white brick platform plastered with lime, looking out of the city.

He raised his hand to take off the hairpin, and his long black hair poured down to his waist, shaking gently in the breeze. Looking from the side, only a little white chin was faintly exposed.

The hair is too much to block the view, and it is not convenient to use the bow.

Sheng Liuyu pulled off Yan Yunxia wrapped around her wrist, bit the end, and tied her long hair into a high ponytail.It's a pity that he has never done such a thing, and he can't grasp the technique well, and the ponytail he tied is also crooked.

Cheng Xian didn't know what Sheng Liuyu was going to do, he only heard his tone cold: "There is a way."

Sheng Liuyu looked down at the hairpin in his hand. It was given by Xie Changming. It was carved out of rare fire spirit stones. Even after crossing the Black Sea, the residual spiritual power would still be enough to use it as a weapon.

Sheng Liuyu is best at using bows.

Shooting arrows at the bell tower and smashing the weapons of the remnant army, most of their thoughts of entering the city will be extinguished.

Then, Cheng Xian saw Sheng Liuyu staring at the hairpin for a long time, paused for a while, only blinked, and did not make any other movements.

"Forget it."

Using a hairpin to turn it into a bow, the spiritual power is probably enough, but when the spiritual power is exhausted, the jade will turn into fly ash. Even if there is still a little spiritual power left, the color will be greatly reduced, and it will no longer be as bright as before.

Sheng Liuyu was reluctant.

So, thinking so in his heart, he put away the hairpin again, planning to replace it with something else.

The Eternal Bright Bird is a divine bird, different from ordinary cultivators.

After crossing the Black Sea and arriving at Lingzhou, his meridians and dantian were all empty.

But his feathers, flesh and blood, and even his bones have deep, inexhaustible spiritual power.

The divine bird is like this, even if it has nothing and no spiritual power, as long as there is a residual consciousness, it can pull out its spine, turn it into a bow, and kill the opponent.

When he was taken away, Sheng Liuyu was often sober, but he didn't do so.

It was strange because he knew that Xie Changming would find him.

Wherever it is, he can find it.

What's more, Xie Changming seems to be jealous of him using a part of his body as a weapon.

So I don't want to do that either.

But now...

Sheng Liuyu bent down and waved at Fat Ball: "Remember to shut up."

The cat panicked out of nowhere, and its long hair stood on end from its tail to the tips of its ears.It had a hunch that Sheng Liuyu was going to do something very serious, and it would definitely implicate him.

The next moment, it let out a scream.

Because Sheng Liuyu had an extra piece of white bone in his hand.

It's ribs.

Sheng Liuyu raised his head, holding a huge bow that suddenly appeared in his hand.The bow was more than half a person's height, with a blurry outline, as if it was transformed from a ball of light, held tightly by Sheng Liuyu, the bow exuded golden light, like a round of rising sun at dusk, forcing People cannot look directly.

The light reflected Sheng Liuyu's face almost transparent, as if it was about to melt in the light.

His lips were pursed, and his long, soft eyelashes were half-down, casting a livid gray shadow under his eyelids.

Perhaps it was because the light was too bright and the wind was too loud, Sheng Liuyu, who was in the light, seemed to have a kind of divine mercy and pity.

Cheng Xian hardly dared to look directly at him.

It wasn't until this moment that he really understood the meaning of Xie Changming's answer.

"He is, I am not."

In the basement, if it wasn't for Sheng Liuyu, Xie Changming probably wouldn't have entrusted the kidnapped people to him.

But now, when Xie Changming comes back, he will leave here immediately with Sheng Liuyu, and may take the innkeeper's family with him. If he asks, he should not be refused.But other than that, Xie Changming will not do unnecessary things.

Because none of this is necessary.

It's something only Sheng Liuyu would do.

Finally, Sheng Liuyu lowered his eyebrows, unhurriedly pulled the huge bow, stretched the string to the limit, and said softly: "Perhaps, manpower is beyond reach."

he can.

The moment the bowstring was released, a cluster of light accompanied by the sound of tearing wind burned the surrounding light, heat and everything it passed, and flew out of the city gate.

When the arrow hit the ground, it suddenly burst into dazzling golden light, and there was a sharp and piercing sound, and something was shattered.

Sheng Liuyu let go of the bow, and took two steps back. Before he could get a firm foothold, his figure shook, and something fell from his waist.

Cheng Xian picked up the jade tablet with a line written on it.

"Small heavy mountain, full of flowing jade."

Yun Yi murmured: "This is a miracle..."

Sheng Liuyu turned her head to look at her, panted slightly, and shook her head: "You are your own gods, you don't need to believe in other gods."

Among the mortals in Dongzhou, there can be one person in ten thousand who can draw Qi into the body, and among hundreds of people who can touch the way of cultivating immortals, no more than a dozen can cultivate foundation building.As for going further up, when you reach Yuanying, there are about a few out of 10 people.

Since ancient times, the road to cultivating immortals has been difficult, but the way has been completed, and one person ascends, at most, it will benefit one sect and one sect.

Even so, there are still tens of millions of people eager to go to the fairyland, and countless people beseech the blessings of the gods.

Although people in Lingzhou can't cultivate immortals, they don't need to practice what magic can do. As long as they have the right tools, everyone can do it.

Sheng Liuyu took back the jade tablet, closed his eyes slightly, he could feel the bone slowly melting back into his body along with the flesh and blood.

He refused Cheng Xian's support, but said: "I'm a little tired."

When Xie Changming came back, he met the army returning from Hong'an not far from the city gate.

And the front of the city gate was even more messy, with huge depressions on the ground, countless metal fragments, traces of dissipated spiritual power, and an emerald green feather.

Finally, Xie Changming found Sheng Liuyu in the big clock on the clock tower.

He willfully stopped the minute hand, forcibly preventing the pointer from moving, his upper body leaning against the clock frame, his calf swaying slightly in mid-air.

The nature of the bird is to like to climb high, and the little Changming bird especially hates the gaze of others.

So it's no surprise to be here.

Xie Changming stepped into the air, walked up to Sheng Liuyu, and looked down at him.

The little Changming bird seemed to be very tired, with its head half-drowned, its cheeks showed a blurred outline in the light of the moon, its eyelashes were light and soft, stained with some night dew, it looked very moving.

Xie Changming didn't ask anything, just said: "When I entered the city, I saw the army returning to the city to defend, so I picked up your emerald beads."

Sheng Liuyu let out an "oh" and said in a low voice, "I'm a little tired."

Xie Changming bent down, hugged him out of the cramped bell frame, and asked in confusion, "Why do you always do so many things when I'm not around?"

It was he who didn't protect the little Changming bird well.

Sheng Liuyu fell obediently in Xie Changming's arms, and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, very obedient.He pondered for a while before seriously answering: "It's not that accidents happen only when you're not around, but when you're by my side, I don't need to do these things."

Whatever the little Changming Bird wants to do, no matter what it is, the owner will help him achieve it.

No matter how dangerous it is, the owner will not let anyone take him away.

Because he is a bird.

Xie Changming carried Sheng Liuyu down and walked down, looking at Yan Yunxia who hadn't untied him, couldn't help reaching out to touch his temples, and gave a faint "hmm".

It seems that he agrees with Sheng Liuyu's statement.

But where Sheng Liuyu couldn't see, Xie Changming's face was stern and heavy, colder than the unmelted snow piled on his shoulders.

Maybe it was because of being too tired, Sheng Liuyu's voice became very soft, and he asked, "Have you got the Soul-Living Grass?"

"got it."

Sheng Liuyu said softly, "Then we can go back, right? Lingzhou is not very fun."

Xie Changming smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he said, "Okay."

The little Changming bird was not stable being held in someone's arms, so he found a more comfortable position and rested his chin on Xie Changming's shoulder.His breath was warm, and it melted the snow on Xie Changming's body, and there might be some remnants, but no matter how cold the ice was, it would all melt.

Even the snow that has not melted in Dayan Mountain for thousands of years is no exception.

Xie Changming hugged him, and his heart was suddenly submerged in soft and warm snow water. He repeated what he said just now: "Okay, let's go back to the academy together."

This time it was not to coax the bird, but to really laugh.
