Reality and Games of Ancient Swords

When Ji Yan came back from the outskirts of Yichang, he carried a particularly fat fish.

As soon as Changqin saw the fish and the whole cat was sick, and thinking of eating fish for several days in a row, Changqin wanted to die.Compared with Changqin, who had a rejection of fish, Yu Qi performed well, but when he saw Ji Yan carrying a fish in with one hand, his expression was a little dazed.

After all, Ji Yan is just a weak woman from the outside.

A woman came in carrying a fish bigger than her. It was really... The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't bear to watch it.

After going out for such a trip, Ji Yan not only paid homage to the old man, not only carried a big fish, but also dug up a lot of ore for smelting.The moment she took out a few ores and handed them to Yu Qi, the eyes of the other party lit up.After receiving the ore, Yu Qi was a little excited, but he still had that calm look on his face, and said, "Thank you."

"It's a little effort, no thanks." Ji Yan waved his hand indifferently.

Holding these ores, Yu Qi immediately went back to the sword casting room to tinker. That night, Yu Qi did not come out, but shut himself in the sword casting room to study the ores for smelting.Changqin, on the other hand, ate the fresh fish very sadly.

Ji Yan's cooking skills are nothing to say, but if you eat delicious food every day, you will get bored.For Changqin, the amount of fish he ate in this life can equal the amount of fish he ate in several lifetimes.

This night, Ji Yan watched with a smile as Changqin ate all the fish fillets she cooked with aggrieved eyes.The fish she brought back was very big. She only cut a small part of the belly and cooked it. The rest must be salted to prevent it from spoiling.

The fish meat is delicious and the quality of the fish is fresh. It would be a pity if it goes bad.

Every morning after that, Changqin could smell the smell of salted fish.Simply, he was not eating those salted fish, but Ji Yan was eating them.

Faced with Ji Yan, who never gets tired of eating anything, Changqin is very envious.

The next day, Ji Yan got up early in the morning and went shopping in the town, while Chang Qin ran nearby because of boredom.There, it met a stupid dog, and found a black misty grass in the shade of the dog's house.The grass was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, the mist looked like demonic energy, the eyes of different colors narrowed slightly, Changqin pulled out the grass and held it in his mouth and went straight home.

Back home, Changqin came to the sword-making room, jumped onto the wide open window, and entered the sword-making room.Yu Qi, who was staring at the ore in a daze, looked back as soon as he heard the movement, and when he saw Changqin coming in with a plant of devilish grass in his mouth, he frowned deeply and said, "Prince Changqin, why did you bring Bring back this magical grass?"

"Meow!!" Spitting the grass in her mouth onto the ground, Changqin had a solemn expression.

Yu Qi asked: "You mean you found this grass in the shade of a house?"

Changqin nodded.

Yu Qi's expression was not very good. "Why did Qinglong Town grow this grass with magic energy? It shouldn't be. ="

Changqin himself didn't expect such a thing to exist in Qinglong Town, he was shocked when he saw it.

Yu Qi said: "I'm discussing this matter when Miss Ayan comes back." Yu Qi has seen this grass before, and he has seen with his own eyes how this grass loses people's minds in Haishi.

Changqin nodded heavily.

When Ji Yan came back with a bag of things, she saw Yu Qi and Chang Qin standing in the courtyard with solemn faces, apparently waiting for her to come back.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Yan asked strangely.

"Miss Ayan, take a look at this thing first." The one who spoke was Yu Qi, and he was the only one present who could communicate well with Ji Yan. If it was Changqin, indeed, they could also communicate, just not like Yu Qi. So convenient.

The grass that Yu Qi took out was found by Changqin in the shade. It looks very ordinary, but the black mist around it makes people feel disgusted.

"Is this magic?"

Yu Qi said: "Prince Changqin found this thing in the shade of a house."

Ji Yan immediately looked at Changqin and asked, "Did you find it? The shade of the house?"

Changqin let out a 'meow', which was the answer.

Yu Qi said: "What do you think of this thing?" Before seeing this grass, Ji Yan really had no impression of the main plot of the second generation.But as soon as she saw this plant of grass, the memories about the plot of the second generation flooded into her brain like a flood.

The memory buried deep in the depths has been revived bit by bit...

Ji Yan said with a sullen face: "Soul-breaking grass comes from Liuyue City."

Hearing about Liuyue City, Yu Qi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Liuyue City? How is it possible...?" Liuyue City is a crack in the sky from Shennong to the northwest after the overthrow of the ancient Tianzhu. the city that the base built.At that time, there was a tribe called Lieshan, who couldn't bear to lose their lives, and asked to come to Liuyue City to help.This tribe originally believed in the Emperor Shennong, who lived a long life and was good at controlling aura.Feeling his sincerity, Shennong readily agreed, so he sealed a drop of divine blood into the jumu, so that the power of life contained in it would radiate through the branches and leaves of the jumu, so that the people of Lieshan tribe could live without drinking or eating. "You should know the tribes in Liuyue City better than I do. After the Tianzhu collapsed, the Lieshan tribe asked for help, and then Shennong led the Lieshan tribe into the city to refine five-color stones and help the emperor Nuwa repair the sky..."

"I do know about this, but I don't understand..." Yu Qi didn't understand.

Thinking of those materials, Ji Yan couldn't help but sneered and said, "Because they were abandoned by the gods. Yu Qi, do you know? Your Lord Xi Huang planted knots inside and outside Liuyue City in order to prevent the leakage of secrets such as five-color stones and ju wood. On that day, Liuyue City has been isolated from the world since then, and the people of Lieshan tribe have been unable to step outside the city. Liuyue City is stationed in the northern border. Although it lives in the high nine days, it is very cold in the city, and there are few plants and trees. , I can only see the vast woods and the snow-capped fields, the coldness is endless... Back then, Shennong ordered the Lie Mountains to live in the city temporarily, and promised them that when he found another suitable place to live, he would take them away from Liuyue City... And the people in the Lieshan tribe also prayed day and night, looking forward to the early return of the gods...Unfortunately, this wait has lasted for thousands of years...Shen Nong has never returned since then...But they can only be trapped in the high place In Floating Moon City..."

Yu Qi didn't speak, because Ji Yan said something he didn't know, but he had to admit the fact that God was cruel to Lie Shanbu.

"You have to know that the people of the Lieshan tribe were born in a place with strong clean air, and their family could not bear the slightest turbidity. At that time, the turbidity of the human world had already spread, and all living beings died of illness because of this reason... But The Lieshan tribe was not affected by the disaster due to its high position in the nine heavens. But... as the years passed, the turbidity of the earth became more and more intense. , life shortened, or even terminally ill, limbs festered, and died of pain... If it were me, I would hate it too. Jumu and other secrets leaked...Gods never save people, and while people believe in Gods, they will also be hurt by God's ruthlessness..."

Changqin walked over with soft meowing steps, stretched out her paw and scratched Ji Yan's dress.He knew very well that most of her indifferent expressions had something to do with him.If he had really committed a big mistake back then, what about the people from the Lieshan tribe in Liuyue City?What's wrong with them?Just for those secrets that cannot be revealed, they must be trapped in that city and accept a cruel fate?

Yu Qi pursed his lips and stared at Ji Yan firmly. After a while, he said, "Why do you know this?"

Ji Yan bent down and picked up Changqin, saying: "Didn't Changqin tell me where I come from?"

This rhetorical question made Yu Qi suddenly realize that, indeed, he had forgotten that the person the prince Changqin was looking for back then was someone from another world.No matter how long the young woman in front of her who has become a ghost fairy has lived in this world, she cannot deny the fact that she does not exist in this world.

Closing his eyes, Yu Qi said softly, "The magic energy of this grass is difficult to deal with."

Ji Yan said: "This soul-severing grass has the effect of inciting the mind and destroying the seven emotions. When it is first contacted, it can stir up wild thoughts in the hearts of living things. If the mood is excited at the time, it will do more with less. After a long time, it will make people feel better. Living things become like walking dead, unconscious. I remember that there are records that mention that the soul-killing grass is very special. It will first stimulate the minds of living things, make them upside down, panic, violent and restless, and then make them happy, angry, and thoughtful. All kinds of emotions, such as anxiety, fear, etc., are swallowed up one by one..."

Yu Qi and Chang Qin were shocked when they heard Ji Yan's words.

"Heart demon? Is it actually a heart demon??"

"Heart demon?" Ji Yan remembered that the faceless thing seemed to be the heart demon, what was it called Li Ying, and it looked like the shadow man Yimao in Detective Conan, and it was quite hardworking... That thing seemed to be the final boss ah.

"Among the ancient demons, there is a lineage of heart demons, who feed on the five emotions of the human world, especially joy, sorrow, hatred, and anger. They often stir up disputes wantonly, and then hide in the dark to eat." Yu Qi did not expect Liu Yue The people in the city actually made friends with the demons. "How can the people of the Lieshan tribe be with the people of the demons? Besides, with the barrier laid by the old man Fuxi, it is impossible for the demons to penetrate the barrier of the gods and enter Liuyue City?"

Ji Yan thought for a while, and said: "The enchantment will weaken one day. Everything in this world will weaken when it is strong. If it is not firm, if there are unworldly talents in Liuyue City, there will be a way to break through the already weakened barrier."

Yu Qi was silent, but his expression clearly agreed with Ji Yan's statement.

"Could it be...?"

Ji Yan said: "What is the truth and what has happened, why bother to find out? People from the Lieshan tribe can't adapt to the environment in the lower realm. They are descendants of the gods after all. The turbidity of the human world is getting stronger and stronger. Given their physical condition, if they come If you go to the human world, you don’t even need a moment, and you will immediately rot and die due to the turbidity. The demons you mentioned should be very good at deceiving people’s hearts. At the cost of living in a more suitable place, or at the cost of helping them change their physique so that they can adapt to life in the human world... Then, it is not unreasonable for the people of the Lieshan tribe to cooperate with them. However, having said that, this matter itself is It has nothing to do with us, and I don't want to get involved in this matter. It's just... the soul-severing grass in Qinglong Town needs to be dealt with as soon as possible... After all, we still live here."

Yu Qi had no intention of objecting to Ji Yan, and he didn't want to get involved in such a troublesome matter. After all, he didn't need to fight and kill, and intervening in such things would simply cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

"The world is so big, and there are so many capable people, there is no need for us to be the saviors to save the world..."
