As we walked closer, the desert in front of us was still a little green, and the rivers around the highlands were filled with scattered mire pools.
Bai Yunsheng had no intention of walking in from the front door to pay his respects. Although the moon hill in front of him remained majestic, it still had a faint morbid look to it. This was by no means normal.
At night, the stars are like the sea.
It's midsummer, but the Hongying Garden in Moon Hill is already withered. The pond in the courtyard has bottomed out, and the three Baitang trees have withered to only their trunks, with not even a single leaf on the ground.
At this moment, the candlelight was bright in the room on the second floor of the garden, and a beautiful figure was standing by the window.
The long black hair flows down like water, and the wheat-colored face is carved with a delicate face, but the big eyes that should be full of sunshine are like gardenias beaten by frost, without any sparkle.
The bright moon is in the sky.
The woman was wearing a warm yellow palace dress and remained motionless, like a fallen leaf falling by the window.
She had spent hundreds of nights like this alone.
Suddenly, "Whoosh!" A cold wind shot into the house and extinguished the orange lotus lantern.
The light in the attic suddenly dimmed.
"call!"
A thin, silent black sword energy shot behind the woman.
"puff!"
The sword energy hit a yellow sand mirror and disappeared instantly.
Under the moonlight, a string of afterimages flew from the window.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and a man in yellow firmly grasped the woman's fist. The strong wind inspired by Karma smashed the lamp stand next to it, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.
In the darkness, the woman's beautiful eyes were startled, and her previous dullness was completely lost. She waved her fists and attacked the man in yellow.
"Puff puff puff."
For a moment, shadows intertwined, and a series of blows echoed in the room.
Suddenly, the fierce fighting stopped abruptly.
"call."
The candle light was lit, and the woman's fist stopped half a foot in front of the man in yellow's throat. The man in yellow leaned back slightly, and a long sword was placed on the woman's neck.
The man in yellow smiled calmly and said: "I heard that Miss Yueliangqiu became a madman after the battle at Wuyun Mountain. It seems that the rumors in the world are not reliable."
Murong Chen stared at this extremely ordinary and unfamiliar face and scolded coldly: "Who are you? Why are you wearing Yue Qiu's clothes?"
The man in yellow had a smile on his face and said something shocking: "Sister Savage, which man in the world can stand a temper like yours?"
Murong Chen's murderous eyes quickly cooled down - because there was only one person in the world who would call her that.
And there was no trace of this man after the battle in Wuyun Mountain.
She slowly lowered her fist and said in a trembling voice: "Is it you? Are you... Bai Yunsheng?"
Murong Chen couldn't believe what the stranger in front of him said, but he knew that only Bai Yunsheng in the world dared to call her that.
The man in yellow smiled sincerely, and in the blink of an eye he changed into another appearance, with white hair, black clothes, and deep eyes.
A pool of tears instantly filled Murong Chen's eyes. She put her hands on her face in disbelief and said with unbearable excitement: "You...are you really...Bai Yunsheng?!"
"Sister Savage, long time no see."
Bai Yunsheng smiled even brighter, the calmness on his face did not cover up the turmoil in his heart, and his eye circles slowly turned a layer of light red.
Suddenly, there was a loud "Bang!" and Bai Yunsheng flew backwards and hit the wall.
Murong Chen retracted his fist and said fiercely: "You have disappeared for such a long time, and you still come to see me? Look at me, sister, I won't beat you to death!"
As he said this, a pair of "Jiao Didi" fists were about to hit Bai Yunsheng in the face.
"Wait...Sister Savage, let me tell you, it's not that I can't beat you, I can..."
As Bai Yunsheng got up, before he finished speaking, the shadow of Murong Chen's fist flew towards him.
Bai Yunsheng rolled his eyes helplessly, working up his karma, staring suddenly with a pair of black pupils, and a cold murderous aura radiated out, instantly locking onto the person in front of him.
Murong Chen's rapid moves suddenly stopped, and the tears in his big eyes flashed with a hint of fear. This feeling of being on the verge of death was exactly the same as in the Tianyi Academy fighting arena.
Bai Yunsheng put away his murderous intent, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Sister Savage, I didn't come to you to fight."
This smile also made Murong Chen recover. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a bit of tears: "Why are you here suddenly?"
Bai Yunsheng patted the dust on his body, raised his eyes, looked at the wine bottle on the table, and said:
"Why, don't you invite me to sit down and have a drink?"
Murong Chen burst into laughter.
The name of the wine is Hui Meng. It is brewed with ground spring water from Yueliangqiu that has not dried for thousands of years. It has a light and elegant fragrance, and is sweet when it enters the throat, but it is very easy to get drunk.
Bai Yunsheng had just had two drinks and was already feeling sleepy.
A good time, good wine, and meeting old friends again are most like a dream.
It's just a dream that I can go back, but some people are no longer here.
Half an hour later.
In Murong Chen's boudoir, Bai Yunsheng suddenly shouted in surprise: "What did you say? The earth branch was robbed by the sky-swallowing beast?"
After saying this, the drunkenness on his face had already woken up.
Murong Chen, who was sitting opposite, nodded heavily and said:
"Yes, this happened half a year ago. The Sky-Swallowing Beast has been sucking its power since it stole the branch, otherwise the Nebula Desert would not be like this."
Bai Yunsheng thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying:
"This matter will not be that simple. Although the sky-swallowing beast is powerful, it is not strong enough to ignore the origin of Qi, or even swallow the earth's origin of Qi. I am afraid that there is another reason for the strange phenomenon in the Nebula Desert."
After experiencing life and death in the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm, Bai Yunsheng's views on all issues began to change.
He did not express all the concerns and speculations in his heart. After all, the veins of the earth were related to the destruction of heaven, and he could not judge arbitrarily.
Just now, Bai Yunsheng and Murong Chen told each other what happened in the past two years.
Bai Yunsheng only talked about going to the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm to experience, but did not mention anything deeper.
Murong Chen was indeed in a bad state of mind after returning from Wu Yun Mountain, but as for becoming a madman, it was actually Murong Wu's deliberate act. After all, what Bai Yunsheng and Mu Chengxue did on Wu Yun Mountain was too involved. For Murong Chen's sake,
I made this decision for safety reasons.
…
Early the next morning.
The sun has not yet taken away the coolness in the wind.
Bai Yunsheng followed Murong Chen into the highest palace of Moon Hill.
Xuanwu Hall.
This palace in the northernmost part of Moon Hill is not too high, but it is far-reaching and majestic, giving Bai Yunsheng an illusion of incomparable insignificance.
The two of them walked into the palace, and Bai Yunsheng saw a long-lost person, Murong Wu, the leader of Moon Hill Sect.
However, this extraordinary figure on the thousand-year-old list now looks a little haggard.
"father."
Murong Chen called softly and woke up Murong Wu who was taking a nap in his seat.
Bai Yunsheng said politely: "Junior Bai Yunsheng, I would like to pay my respects to Master Murong."
Hearing the words "Bai Yunsheng", Murong Wu's simple pupils suddenly lit up, he straightened up slightly and said in surprise: "You are actually still alive?"
Bai Yunsheng showed an unsmiling smile and said: "This junior is blessed with good fortune, and he will live a few more years."
This smile brought out the bitterness in his heart. It was Bailuzhou who exchanged his life for his.
It was said that the Xingyun Desert was in a troubled time, and Murong Wu was troubled by the troubles, so after he was slightly surprised, he calmly said: "Why did you come to Moon Hill?"
But he didn't expect Bai Yunsheng to make another shocking statement, saying: "Firstly, this junior is here to visit Miss Murong, and secondly, it is for Xuanwu Mountain!"
Murong Wu's tense nerves suddenly became a little more tense. He stared at Bai Yunsheng and said seriously:
"Xuanwu Mountain? Is there still this place in the Xingyun Desert? I have been in charge of Moon Hill for three hundred years and I have never heard of this."
"I think we should go check out the origin branch first. Maybe I can help Sect Master Murong."
Bai Yunsheng naturally ignored Murong Wu's doubts. Although Yueyue Qiu had always been in awe of the mythical beast Xuanwu, the location of Xuanwu had always been a mystery, and no one in the Murong family had ever seen its honor.
How can the majestic earth beasts look at eye level with mortals?
a long time.
In the silence of the main hall, Murong Wu sighed: "Hey, come with me."
After saying that, he led Bai Yunsheng and Murong Chen towards the depths of the hall.
