Chapter 8 Yannan

After saying goodbye to the Ding family and his son, they walked on the road. Bai Shu asked Dong Se and said, "Why are you so anxious to separate from them?"

Dong Se frowned slightly and explained: "This Mrs. Ding is not simple. After spending time with her for a long time, I am afraid that she will see through her identity. In addition, we'd better take a rest here for a few days to help you adjust your body and go to Yanjing. There's no hurry."

Bai Shu nodded and continued to ask, "What's the story about the Four Sects she said? I haven't heard you talk about it."

"The four sects discuss the Tao, as the name suggests, is to gather the best among the younger generation of disciples among the four sects, and compete. In the end, the disciples with the highest cultivation level can obtain some magic weapons and pills prepared by the four sects. The first sect can also get a chance to practice in other sects for a year. No matter which sect he chooses to go to in the end, someone will give him all his gifts, which will have an extremely terrifying effect on improving his cultivation and breaking through his realm."

Speaking of this, Dong Se said with a sigh: "I remember the last time the Four Sects of Yanjing discussed the Tao. That year, I was only twelve years old. Every year, the Taoism is carried out in turn at the mountain gate where the Four Sects are located. The Taoism in Yanjing and the Taoism in Chenghu are the most exciting, because Taixu and Jianshe are both on the mountain, and only our Demon Sect and Chenghu Temple are in the city. I still remember that Brother Feng won the third place that year."

Bai Shu listened to Dong Se's description, a grand picture appeared in his mind. Yanjing was in heavy snow. Young talents from the four sects competed in the city. Whether ordinary people or practitioners, they were all paying attention to this grand event. Dong Se was outside the crowd, with snow on his shoulders, pulling the corner of his father's clothes and placing his toes to cheer for the fellow brothers in the sect.

Bai Shu didn't continue asking, and sometimes memories make people become fragile.

The two of them then found the inn and stayed on Wild Horse Slope for three days. They didn't set off again until they had almost recovered their spirit and body.

The road was not as hurry as last time. The two of them simply continued to pretend to be brothers and sisters. They followed the caravan and walked slowly, but safety was guaranteed. First, they did not have to be afraid of wind and snow, second, they did not have to be afraid of wild animals. Third, they followed the caravan and were not easy to attract attention. At this time, the entire Yan State's Demon Sect power was looking for Dong Se. Although they were still far from Yanjing, Dong Se had already become alert.

The two followed the caravan for more than ten days, and encountered several small snow games during this period, but none of them had any impact on the team's itinerary. It was not until the caravan reached a riverside that they stopped.

This river is a hundred feet wide and twists and turns, like a dragon, with rapid flow and whistling endlessly, lying across the southern hinterland of the Yan Kingdom continent. In the deep winter, the river water is endless, and this river is called Tiansha.

Bai Shu and Dong Se lined up at the end of the line and quietly waited to board the ship and cross the river.

Dong Se looked at the vast river and introduced to Bai Shu in a familiar way: "When we pass this day, we will reach the real hinterland of Yan State. We are lucky. Today, the water flows smoothly and the boat is moving fast. At night, we will almost pass. If we arrive a few days later, the boat owner will probably have to stop business. It will be difficult to think about crossing the river at that time."

Bai Shu glanced at the turbulent river water, and then thought about what Dong Se said, "The current water flow is smooth today", and gained a deeper understanding of Yan State. However, Dong Se did not care about Bai Shu's strange face, and continued to introduce to him excitedly: "After passing the Tiansha trench, it is our Yan State's second largest city, Yannan."

"It is said that in ancient times, Luo, the water god of Tiansha River, and Li, the dragon girl in the North Sea, fell in love. However, because the dragon clan has always been united in different races, their love was opposed by the tribe members. Li and Luo both control part of the world's water system, and they cannot live without water for life, and naturally they cannot be separated from the shaman's constraints."

"The dragon girl is arrogant and borrows water power to make hundreds of miles of floods by the sea. She tries to cut off her connection with the Beihai water system and break free from the shackles of her tribesmen, but her move angered the entire dragon clan. In order to save her daughter's life, her father took action to remove the river god Luo, thinking that as long as Luo dies, Li will naturally stop making trouble." Speaking of this, Dong Se was slightly depressed, and her voice was slightly strange, and continued, "I didn't expect that the dragon girl was deeply in love. She took off the Beihai water system and left a sentence to the tribe's tribe. She said, "The Beihai Dragon Clan, a slut, even if I am broken into pieces, I don't want to be with you." After that, she flew away and finally hit her head and died by the Tiansha River."

Bai Shu sighed and said, "It turns out that there is such a story in Tianshajiang. This Long Nuli is very strong-willed and looks like you. No wonder you remember this story so clearly."

Dong Se smiled and said, "I like this story and admire Long Nuli, but she died here in the end, which was not the ending I wanted." Dong Se looked at the river, was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "When I was a child, I only knew the first half of this story. When I grew up a little, I realized that this story was not that simple. The second half of this story was told by my father."

After Long Nuli's death, the dragon soul was immortal. Her dragon soul merged into one with a dragon that snatched the dragon's single inside the dragon left by Long Nuli. The dragon had been practicing for thousands of years, and was only one step away from the transformation of the dragon and fading the dragon. It also merged the dragon elixir dragon soul and the resentment of Long Nuli, and turned into a candle dragon, which people in the world also called it Zhu Jiuyin."

Dong Se smiled gradually and said, "As soon as Zhu Jiuyin was born, she was so hungry that she began to swallow her heavily. She would eat it cleanly, whether it was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or anything else."

"At the beginning, the Dragon Clan of Beihai didn't agree, so she sent young disciples in the clan to attack Zhulong, but she didn't expect that all the dragons were eaten by Zhulong. When the Dragon Clan of Beihai realized that something was wrong, it was too late. The Dragon Clan of Four Seas joined forces and failed to eliminate Zhu Jiuyin in one fell swoop. Instead, because Zhulong ate too much, she even had the ability to swallow the world. The Dragon Clan of Four Seas was eaten by Zhulong. In the end, Zhulong traveled overseas and left the continent where we were."

Bai Shu was slightly shocked and asked, "Is this Zhu Jiuyin really powerful enough to swallow the world?"

Dong Se nodded seriously and said, "My father has been overseas. Do you know what is at the end of the sea?"

Bai Shu shook his head.

"It's nothingness." Dong Se explained calmly: "At the end of the sea, there is nothingness, no sea, no land, no sunshine, no spiritual energy, there is nothingness."

Bai Shu was so shocked by Dong Se's words that he couldn't speak.

"The martial arts of our Demon Sect are said to be derived from Zhu Jiuyin. Taixu Temple worships the Taoist ancestor, Chenghu Temple worships the Buddha, Jiansen worships the sword ancestor, and our Demon Sect worships the Zhu Zu. Except for our Demon Sect, the other three sects of ancestors have the ability to overturn the heaven and earth, but none of them has the ability to destroy the world like Zhu Zu."

"In my eyes, the candle dragon statue in the sect is still like the strong-willed Dragon Girl Li. She did not die here as the world thinks, but was reborn in this place." Dong Se's gentle eyes swept across the entire river, as if imagining the scene where Long Girl Li's desolate figure flew past.

Although this may be just a story, Bai Shu was still a little scared. If Dong Se's father had really been overseas and had seen the nothingness overseas, does that mean that this story was not a story used by the people in the Demon Sect to maintain the tradition of the sect, but something that had actually happened.

"Is this story true?" Although Bai Shu thought it was stupid to ask, he couldn't help but ask.

Dong Se shook his head and nodded again and said, "I don't know, but I would rather believe that this is a true story. Heaven and earth are unfair. There should be such a candle dragon in this world that will eat the world without reason."

Bai Shu was silent when he heard this. At this moment, he suddenly thought that if Zhu Jiuyin had not gone overseas but stayed there, how many more could he have left in the continent where he was now? With this thought, Bai Shu couldn't help but shivered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

As it got late, Bai Shu and Dong Se finally boarded the boat and drove staggering towards the other side of Tiansha River. The seemingly out of reach and the dim lights on the shore all gave people an unreal beauty.

Dong Se and Bai Shu sat at the stern of the boat and spoke in a low voice.

"After crossing Tiansha River, we arrived in Yannan. Later generations built a pavilion called Longli Pavilion in the place where she died, but with the passage of time, the pavilion was demolished cleanly, but the name was preserved. In the 42nd year of Yanli Bifeng, Longli Pavilion was renamed Yannan Pavilion. After that, the place became prosperous. Every autumn, geese flew south and passed Yannan Pavilion. People called Yannan Pavilion Yannan Pavilion. Yannan was the most prosperous place outside the capital of Yannan. When we arrived in Yannan, we were not far from Yanjing."

Bai Shu could see that Dong Se really liked the story of Long Nuli very much, and she remembered clearly even the year when the name was changed here.

Bai Shu had a vague impression of the word Yannan. When he was in Lanxi, Dong Se said that when he arrived in Yannan, he would treat himself to a good meal.

Bai Shu asked immediately: "Do you think the best food outside Yanjing is in Yannan?"

Dong Se nodded and said, "That's right, the food in Yannan Building is second only to Yanbei Building in Yanjing. These two buildings, one in the south and one in the north, are both royal industries. However, our Yan State does not have many restrictions, so even civilians can eat in Yannan Building as long as they have enough silver."

Bai Shu had already had a deep understanding of Yan State at this time. All the things he saw and heard along the way made Bai Shu look forward to Yanjing even more.
