Chapter 173 The story, the old place, the old friend
Three days later.
dusk.
Yulingtai is behind Tianyu Mountain. Standing on the platform and looking eastward, you can see half of the Tianyu Mountain Demon Realm.
The clouds cover the green mountains and the blue falls on the rivers.
Hua Qianchi under the Huaiyuan Pavilion poured another glass of wine for Bai Yunsheng.
"The beautiful scenery, the beautiful people and the beautiful wine are really nostalgic."
Bai Yunsheng picked up the wine glass, smelled the fragrance of Lanling wine, and sighed with rare ease.
Hua Qianchi smiled softly and said, "Young master, it has been a year and a half since I came to the Southern Wilderness."
Bai Yunsheng stared at himself in the cup and whispered: "Yes. After walking through Tianyu Mountain, it's time for me to go back."
General Qian Huan looked thoughtful and said, "Master, are you going back to the Central Plains?"
"Why did the general say this?"
"The affairs of the Five Continents are not yet over. Isn't it that the young master has been cultivating in the mountains for these days just to go back and collect debts?"
In the six months since Hua Qianchi woke up, he has found out everything about Bai Yunsheng's life, and naturally he also knows what happened on Wuyun Mountain back then.
But Bai Yunsheng did not answer her.
Hua Qianchi continued: "Now that the young master has conquered Southern Wilderness, there is no need to worry too much about certain things."
Bai Yunsheng raised his eyes, glanced at the beauty, and said slowly: "When I entered the Southern Wilderness, apart from the rebellion at Yidi Mountain, I really wanted to use the power of the Demon Realm to avenge the Five Continents. But now things have gone against my wishes, and I have also destroyed the Southern Wilderness.
The seals of all the origin branches of Huang are really unpredictable."
Hua Qianchi said: "With me waiting here, with the power of Southern Wilderness, revenge will not be difficult."
Bai Yunsheng poured the wine while shaking his head and said: "No. I was entrusted by the five divine beasts from the Northern Wilderness to explore the mystery of the loss of the origin. But after this trip to the Southern Wilderness, I vaguely felt that there must be a big conspiracy behind this, and even
The Four Wastelands Monster Realm and the Central Plains Continent are both in the game. Besides, the original branches of the Central Plains are still there, so there is still use in keeping a few of them. The world is far away, and people's hearts are unpredictable. If you act rashly before you can clearly see the situation, you are afraid of another
Will become someone else's pawn."
Bai Yunsheng looked at the wine glass, paused for a while, and said coldly: "I am not anyone's chess piece."
Hua Qianchi said quietly: "I have been sleeping for a long time, and I don't know what is going on in the world now. Qianhuan will obey all the words of the young master. What are the young master's plans next?"
Bai Yunsheng put down the empty cup, sighed deeply, and said: "It has been three years, and there is still no way to deal with the threat of annihilation. There is nothing I can do now."
Hua Qianchi, with his sharp eyes, said: "Who do you want to ask for help?"
Bai Yunsheng sneered and said: "Of course, they threw the problem to me, it's time to return it to them."
Hua Qianchi naturally knew who Bai Yunsheng was talking about, so he asked: "Who do you plan to start with?"
Bai Yunsheng had already made up his mind and said word by word: "Jinluan Daze."
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
As dusk grew late, after saying the words "Hua Qian Chi", I already said farewell.
Bai Yunsheng took one look at Hua Qianchi's world-famous face, and chuckled: "General, you are both talented and beautiful, and he has great cultivation. With you in charge, everything will be safe. But I still have a question to ask the general."
"Sir, please tell me."
"Why did the general bind himself and seal himself in a deep sleep?"
Bai Yunsheng raised an extremely ancient question, which often leads to a little-known past event.
Sure enough, when Hua Qianchi heard this, his beautiful eyes suddenly lowered.
After a long silence, she lightly opened her lips and slowly told what happened three thousand years ago.
...
One day later, Lanling Town.
Bai Yunsheng's figure appeared in a small restaurant.
This is the place where he came when he first came to Lanling.
The same facade, the same tables and chairs, the same Lanling wine.
Bai Yunsheng raised his glass and poured it out for himself. This pot of Lanling wine, which had been stored for forty years, was particularly mellow and long-lasting.
After listening to Hua Qianchi's confession, he left Tianyu Mountain.
For Bai Yunsheng, in a foreign land, it was indeed a strange story that had been away for a long time.
Seven thousand seven hundred years ago, the Tianyu Mountain at that time was also the Tianyu Mountain today. One day, a human practitioner climbed the mountain to pay homage and asked to see the Wuxiang Divine Art. The demon king at that time, Hua Qianchi, flatly refused and wanted to kill him.
He was driven out of the mountain. However, he did not expect that this person was extremely powerful. He defeated the Seven Demon Gods and the Four Elders at that time one after another, and actually issued a challenge to Hua Qianchi.
At that time, not long after Hua Qianchi entered the spiritual realm, her master, the previous General Qianhuan, went out to travel in search of his sect but failed to return. For the sake of the reputation of the Demon Realm, Hua Qianchi had no choice but to stay with the practitioner at the Changsheng Peak of Tianyu Mountain.
They agreed to fight, but they didn't expect that she would be defeated by the opponent's move.
According to the agreement, the man was able to read the "Shadowless Divine Art". At that time, Hua Qianchi was still feminine and had entered the supreme spiritual realm. She was so arrogant. After the defeat, she kept saying to the man
Challenge, but always fail.
This defeat lasted seven hundred years.
After going through this, Hua Qianchi actually fell in love with the man, and the two tit-for-tat enemies, one demon and one man, miraculously fell in love. Later, Hua Qianchi learned that the man's name was Xiao Wuhen and he came from Yinghuobu Continent.
The green forest of Yinma Mountain.
In the last days of their tryst, Xiao Wuhen proposed to enter the Lingyin Cave, the Holy Land of the Demonic Realm. At that time, Hua Qianchi did not have the power or experience to enter, but love and curiosity still urged her, and by accident, Xiao Wuhen was led to the Lingyin Cave.
Entering the Lingyin Cave that he had longed for, he also entered the abyss of hell.
Hua Qianchi never expected that Xiao Wuhen would snatch the sacred object in Lingyin Cave - later she found out that it was the map leading to Juntian Palace. Xiao Wuhen's move made Hua Qianchi never see it again.
Unable to accept that their loyalty to the demon clan surpassed their love, the two started fighting again, and Hua Qianchi was defeated again.
Fortunately, the fight between the two "angered" the origin branch. Under the deterrence of the origin energy, Xiao Wuhen failed to succeed. However, Hua Qianchi blocked a beam of fire origin energy for him in order to protect him, and was seriously injured on the spot.
coma.
When Hua Qianchi woke up, she was already lying in her master's room. The master did not blame her, but instead passed the title of General Qianhuan to her, and then left the Demon Realm, never to appear again.
After Xiao Wuhen left Tianyu Mountain, he disappeared without a trace.
Hua Qianchi was full of resentment and could not be found, so she hated her to the core and became discouraged. When she first took over the position of the hall leader, she should have been high-spirited, practiced hard, and governed the demon realm, but it was a pity that Hua Qianchi was so self-conscious at that time.
It was difficult to recover from the grief, and she had been depressed for thousands of years, and how could she care about her responsibilities and inheritance. Generations of demon kings of Tianyu Mountain tried to persuade her to no avail. In the end, she suddenly thought of it, practiced forbidden magic, and destroyed Lingyin Cave and herself.
They have been sealed together for three thousand years.
...
After staying in Lanling Town for half a day and drinking enough, Bai Yunsheng left this quiet and peaceful place and embarked on this foggy road again.
The road ahead is bleak.
Three years have passed, and after countless lives and deaths, the strong and innocent boy he once was has now become an adult with extraordinary magnanimity.
Half a month later.
It's dusk again.
Leaving Zhenfengbuzhou and heading east, on a mountain road with no birds or people, a black Qilin horse was galloping past. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet and deep mountains, like the violent heartbeat of a person after doing something bad.
After traveling another fifty miles and passing three peaks, the Qilin neighed and stopped in front of a deserted valley.
The young man in black clothes on the horse turned over and jumped down. He was carrying a sword case and had loose short reddish hair. Under the flame soul mark on the sky spirit, a pair of red demon eyes looked carefully around the valley.
The sunset behind them hit the person and the horse, drawing two long shadows at the mouth of the valley.
After a while, the young man tied the Qilin Jun to a tree and walked into the deserted valley alone.
There are old trees and withered vines in the valley, and wild grasses cover the stone crevices in the valley. It seems that another layer of the exposed rocks has been eroded away.
The young man's red eyebrows frowned slightly, a dark blue broad sword flew out from behind him, and he flew towards the valley with the sword.
Passing through the barren valley, you can see a dilapidated town in front of you. The broken walls scattered among the weeds are covered with moss, and a few fallen white stone pillars look like a few bones nestled together.
"It's still the same."
The young man murmured, with a trace of uneasiness on his calm face.
Obviously this isn't his first time here.
After another pause, the young man shouldered his long sword and walked toward the town. He waded through weeds and came to the final stone platform. The stone platform was surrounded by a layer of cane wild flowers and was as desolate as a tomb.
I saw the young man gently raising his hand, the sword light flying in a gust of wind, the wind disappeared, the sword fell, the flowers and vines shattered and flew away, and the pictures of mythical beasts were revealed on the stone platform.
The young man took a nostalgic look and walked up the stone steps to the stone platform. The moment he stepped on the unicorn beast's eye, a beautiful and dazzling flower tree slowly emerged, with pink petals like dreams and rain.
Dancing with the wind, no one can bear to look away.
There was a bit of nostalgia in the young man's indifferent eyes. He stretched out his hand to hold the flower tree, and in an instant he disappeared.
The moon is still the same moon.
The mountains are still those mountains.
The lake is still the same lake.
In the moonlight, the five jade plank roads are like five chains locking the vast swamp.
In the purple bamboo forest.
The young man's body flashed with black light, revealing his true appearance.
Snowy hair tied back, black clothes with hidden edges, a pair of eyes as deep as the sea stared at the bamboo house, speechless for a long time.
"Grandpa, I'm back..."
One word was blown away by the wind, and no one found the two tears.
This is the first time Bai Yunsheng has returned to the Purple Bamboo Forest in Jinluan Ze after recovering his memory, but he has become a loner.
However, this was not the time to drink, because there was still something unfinished in his heart.
night.
Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows become a night for three people.
Jinluan Daze in the stars and moon is still so mysterious and deep.
The moonlight floats on the water, like a hook drawn by silver frost.
"Whoosh!"
In the moonlight on the lake, a black shadow jumped into the lake like a ghost at night.
