Chapter 20 Layout
"Is this really a town?Why doesn't there even have a wall, it always feels like a grassland tribe..."Walking in Lingyuan City in the realm of the Jin family, Lin Xinyue couldn't help but look left and right curiously, the only building with a guardrail that can be seen in this city is the stone palace built on the hill above, although it is not the first line of defense against the Sea Clan, but how to say... It's too insistent on your own style...
"Don't look at their weak sideline defense, but their spirit array can clearly perceive everything that happens within 10,000 meters, and it will definitely be too late to prepare for defense. Situ Yuxin walked in the streets of the Spirit Array on the grass, holding Jian Mo's arm openly, according to the customs of the Spirit Domain, it is immoral for an adult unmarried woman to do this, but Yuxin doesn't seem to care about this kind of thing at all, and the smile on her face is something she has never seen before, "When we approached the city within 10,000 meters, the defenders already knew about our situation, and it is estimated that after verifying our characteristics, they felt that there was no problem and did not come out to interrogate us." ”
"Indeed, in terms of the strength that can be felt, the defense of this town is really not weak, it is simply everywhere, but without the strongest walls, it is indeed impossible to resist so effectively in the situation of Lionheart City. Bai Mo Cheng felt the spirit arrays all over the streets and houses, the Jin family can be regarded as a family that uses spiritual power to the extreme, in this regard, Bai Mo Cheng still admires them, "I think they are quite good." ”
"Although you praise them so much, compared to others, it's really casual..."Lin Xinyue looked left and right speechlessly, this distance of 10,000 meters, let yourself attack, it's just like nothing, this group of lazy spiritualists, alas... Eh, there's something to eat!
"It's almost time to reach the Northern Abyss Sea, can you tell us now, are you looking for something here?" Jun Zhuo, who had been walking in front of Qinghuan, didn't find anything interesting on the street, and couldn't help but turn to Yu Xin to seek a topic.
"A slate. Situ Yuxin did not hide the spiritual array that was secretly arranged around everyone to isolate attention, but said it.
"Ah, aren't you two communicating with each other?" Lin Xinyue, who had already returned from the street stall and was teasing Qinghuan with more than two dozen meat skewers in her hands, was attracted by the conversation here, she had always thought that these two people had conspired together to lay out all this now, why didn't it seem like it now.
"No, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Xiao Junzhuo sighed lightly and walked up to help Lin Xinyue sort out the loose clothes, because Lin Xinyue wore back the white shirt and black windbreaker she liked to wear the most, but the top two buttons of the shirt were not fastened, which still caused a lot of attraction to the people passing by, "No sister will let me worry, you should pay attention to it when you are married." ”
"Okay, Yuxin, you go on, what kind of slate. After tidying up Xin Yue's shirt, turning around, Xiao Junzhuo found that Situ Yuxin was looking at him with shocked eyes, but when Yu Xin looked around, she found that everyone did not have their own shocked eyes, along the way, everyone had long been accustomed to Xiao Junzhuo's special care for Qinghuan and Xin Yue, this is really a bit subversive cognition, Yu Xin She never thought that the object she had been working with would have such a tender side to others.
"A stone tablet engraved with an ancient prophecy, a prophecy that has existed before the Spirit Race occupied this realm, but as far as I know, this prophecy existed long before the creation of time and space, matter, rules and even the creation of the world, it is a comprehensive expression of the veins of the afterlife, it is said that the stone tablet has written an ultimate secret about all dimensions, however, since it did not even support the attack of the dark spirits, so my understanding is limited to this.
"Long before the rules came along... Then I don't know what the situation is. Xiao Junzhuo tried his best to remember, and he didn't think that there was any record in the legend of the dragon clan before the creation of the world, but Situ Yuxin, as a reborn, it is very possible to master secrets that she doesn't know, and she chose to say it until now, probably to reduce the impact on the cause and effect of the world, "Then you, do you have any plans?"
"Not yet, there's a curse on the surface of that slab that will kill the first person to break the seal, so even if we find it, we'll need to be careful. ”
"It's obviously a prophecy, why are you making such trouble... It's really..."Gu Qinghuan sighed silently on the side, sure enough, no matter what task he did, it was impossible for him to complete it easily.
"No, I think this restriction is necessary, after all, it's arguably the oldest and longest prophecy in the world, and it's kind of interesting, I want to know the content of it. Xiao Junzhuo's habitual complaint about Qinghuan also patted him on the back and comforted him, but her interest in this prophecy slate was really ignited, this is far beyond the history of the dragon clan, what is the ultimate secret of all dimensions, "Yuxin, does this slate have a general range?"
"From memory, it should be in the North Styx, I can only be sure of that. ”
"The North Stygian Sea, its borders have never been actually measured, and this range is too large. "As a ranger, Xue Qian has also been to the Northern Abyss Sea before, and from his knowledge, it is impossible to find a stone slab from this vast black sea that doesn't even know what it looks like.
Along the way, he also gradually accepted the strange attributes of the people who accompanied him, what kind of traverser, reborn, cultivating demons, ancient race, twelve winged spirit clans... And after accepting it, he also began to help everyone find a way to complete the goal together, but this time, in the face of the vast scope of the sea of stars, he really felt helpless.
"Not necessarily, if it is in the North Styx Sea, with the degree of exploitation of the North Styx Sea by the Sea Clan, the possibility of them possessing this treasure is very high. "In Chu Jianmo's foreign stories when he was a child, his mother told him, the Sea Clan has always been extremely greedy, they like to snatch and collect treasures the most, if it is really according to Yu Xin's words, the slate is in the North Styx Sea, then even if the Sea Clan does not know the efficacy of this slate, with the curse and prohibition attached to the slate, it will definitely arouse their interest and collect it first.
"Then are you going to help the Jin family deal with the Sea Clan?" Qing Huan looked at the few people around him who were getting more and more pensive, and he suddenly had this bad premonition, he had just finished fighting with so many spirit beasts and was going to fight the Sea Clan, and the immortals couldn't bear it when they came.
"The Sea Clan has been entrenched in the Northern Styx Sea for hundreds of millions of years, and it is impossible for the Jin family alone to exterminate them all, and joining forces with the Jin family will not only not be able to get the stone slab, but we will also waste a lot of time here. Yu Xin objected to Qing Huan's words, of course, this made Qing Huan breathe a sigh of relief, it is better than anything else not to go to war.
"I have a plan, but I need to discuss it with the three of you, how about it?" Bai Mocheng, who had been listening silently on the side, suddenly raised his head and said to Yu Xin, Xin Yue and Jun Zhuo after pondering, these three can be said to be the most accustomed to layout and strategy in this force, so the other people around did not feel that there was any problem, of course, the three people involved also felt that there was no problem, so they found a restaurant to rest with everyone, and opened a large room on the third floor, and the four of them started to discuss on the table on the side alone, and the remaining few people were drinking and waiting on the other side.
"Young master, this is the strongest wine that the store said, I bought it for you, and there are three bottles of juice squeezed from the wheat star fruit. Chu Jianyao, who had been asking from the counter for a while, was holding a tray in her hand, and there were seven pots of wine jugs made of jade on it, which still looked very elegant, and Chu Jianyao didn't have anything to say along the way, she was not as suitable as Situ Yuxin to fight with Jian Mo at the front, but she could give Jian Mo the best care, so that the power attribute of his "sword" would not swallow his "childish" emotions.
"Xiao Yao has worked hard, come and sit here and rest for a while. ”
"Eun. Jian Yao nodded obediently, sat down beside Jian Mo, and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for him.
Looking at this girl who has accompanied her all the way from the beginning of the Chu family when she was a child to the present, every time Chu Jianmo feels that she is going to be lost in this bizarre world, Chu Jianyao is like a precious crystal to him that retains his childhood memories, and with her, his happiness will become very "cheap", just like a child, laugh if she wants to, make trouble if she wants to, in fact, if Jian Yao doesn't follow her all the time at this time, she should be able to get married, and if she keeps following, I'm afraid she will have some heart." Question" Ah, after all, she already has Situ Yuxin, even if Yuxin agrees to really marry Jian Yao again, it will be too unfair to her, a good girl like her should deserve a complete love, not her own "incompleteness", as Jian Yao matures, this kind of thing is already something she has to face.
But Jian Mo didn't want Chu Jianyao to leave him, this was an inexplicable selfishness, whenever he fell into this tangled situation, Jian Mo wanted to slap himself a few times, he didn't know when he became such a bastard, alas...
"Jian Yao..."
"What's the matter, young master?" Looking up at Chu Jianmo's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Chu Jianyao looked at him curiously, for her, it was a very happy thing to be able to look at Chu Jianmo like this.
"No... It's nothing..."The question came to his lips, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he had to keep comforting himself that he didn't dare to ask because there were people around.
"Don't worry, young master, Jian Yao promised you and Sister Yuxin that she will always be by your side, so if it is difficult, as long as Xiao Yao can help, just tell me. ”
"Eh, I will..."
The agreement with Yuxin... The girls have "expressed" to this point, Chu Jianmo, what are you still struggling with...
Xue Tianci, who was drinking wine at the table, laughed as he drank, how could this young man with an alien talent in cultivation be so stupid emotionally.
"Big brother, what are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at the two of you, it's clear that all three parties agree on things, but you still have to make trouble, looking at you, I think of those popular romances in the Demon Domain. ”
"Hey, that's enough, big brother!"
"Woo... Say goodbye, big brother, don't talk about the trouble anymore..."
What energetic guys... Gu Qinghuan lay on the wine table, boredly playing with the wine glass in his hand, his eyes looked at the dark night on his right, but the pupil array was paying attention to Xin Yue and Jun Zhuo across the table, anyway, no matter what the result is, there must be a tired and dying process, alas...
"I said, can children drink?" Seeing that after drinking a glass of spirits in the dark night, she was still about to pour a second cup with great interest, Qinghuan couldn't help but look at the dark night curiously, how could this little little bit be better than her own amount of alcohol, according to Jun Zhuo, they had known and lived together before, and the night would not drink because she had cultivated it since she was a child...
"Eh, didn't you ask me to learn it before, my father?"
The relationship is not cultivated by Xiao Junzhuo, it is himself... Gu Qinghuan almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, how many sins had he done before, how could he force a child to drink such strong wine.
"Drink less, children drink too much is not good for physical development, try me this, by the way, drink slowly, see you drink like drinking water, so it will be even worse for the body." ”
Pouring the juice in front of him into the cup of the dark night, Qing Huan decided to correct his previous inexplicable way of thinking, since the dark night was accepted by himself and Xin Yue as the daughter of the two, the heavy responsibility of education still has to be responsible.
"Eun. Yu Ye did not refute, but very obediently picked up the cup in front of him, and slowly tasted the "new flavor" of juice.
"It's the first time I've seen you like this. Drinking all the liquor in the cup, Kongzhi put down the cup in his hand, and looked at Gu Qinghuan lying on the table with a smile on his face, the Gu Qinghuan in front of him was very different from the one in his memory, facing him now, Kongzhi was not sure if he could return to the state of the "demon" he was at the beginning.
"I'm not surprised myself anyway, yes, anyway, Xinyue and they are also talking, so tell me about it, how we met before, how I used to be, see if I can recall something." ”
"The story of our acquaintance, I'll tell you later, I'm afraid you can't bear it now. ”
"It's just a story, and it's not a forbidden force, how can it not be bearable. Qing Huan propped up his head and tilted his head to look at the empty branch, staring at him for a while, but seeing that his gaze was still so calm, Qing Huan knew that he was really not going to say anything, and couldn't help but lie down again, muttering speechlessly.
"I'm afraid, I really can't bear it..."Looking at Qinghuan who was lying on the table now, Kongzhi's heart sighed silently.
Memories drifted, and Kongzhi's mind unconsciously recalled the experience of his first encounter with Qinghuan, no, at that time he should be called Hua Ruofu, a desperate situation he had never experienced at that time, and it was also the greatest hopeful situation he had ever felt in his life.
At that time, the two of them were still acting alone, in order to compete for the secret treasure in the "Qinhai Ancient Building", and at the same time secretly mixed into the spirit realm, an organization that also had a plot against this place, and the team of thirty people was planned, because the disguise was very successful, they did not find the existence of each other at the beginning.
When the group of them went to the "Qinhai Ancient Tower" with great expectations, they didn't realize that everything was just the beginning of a nightmare, where he also changed from a demon boy who was looking for treasures at the beginning to a demon who never went back.
When a group of thirty people identified the correct route on the map, cracked the mechanism in the ancient building, and came to the last defenseless wooden door of the ancient building, everyone rejoiced, because the fruits of victory were in front of them.
But the mutation happened at that time, they thought that they had not encountered any living creatures along the way, in fact, they had already encountered it, when the long wilted hands of "Silence" like branches appeared in front of them the moment they entered the Ancient Mansion Treasure Pavilion, they recalled in horror that after entering the Ancient Building, it was not the mechanism they cracked, but the "silence" Like playing with prey, to rush to this final slaughter place, for all this, it turned out to be a poisonous plan set up by the owner of the ancient building in order to resurrect himself, and many groups of explorers have turned into blood and water here to become the cornerstone of the resurrection of the owner of the ancient building.
At that time, the empty branch who was still an ordinary demon clan certainly did not have the strength to resist this trap that had already been run, he could only wait in horror for the fate of his slaughter, and he would never forget the helplessness and fear at that moment, because the next moment was the deepest despair coming.
The young man with red and blue eyes suddenly burst out at the moment when he was about to be disemboweled, and the breath on his body made the empty branches at that time indescribable, only feeling tens of thousands of times more terrible than the surrounding "silence", he was wantonly slaughtering the "silence" in the building, and the moment before he was as powerless as a prey to be slaughtered, he only took a few minutes to kill all the "silence", and the miserable death of those "silences" made the empty branches who did not understand personnel suffer a great panic.
And with the silence being killed, the ancient building collapsed and was buried deep in the depths of the Qin Sea, and this young man, his open wings at that moment, became the deepest imprint in Kongzhi's mind.
He is a symbol of absolute power, he is the demon who slaughters everything, he kills all the people in his party, he disembowels them like food, and he is the only one who is left behind.
"The weak demon clan can get mixed here, and they still have some potential, if they don't want to die, they will eat them. ”
......
"I still need an opponent, live with me, and it must be a great pleasure to fight you in the future. ”
......
"My name is Hua Ruofu, remember it well. ”
......
That was the day they escaped, and the last words left for him by those black wings, from then on, "flowers are like burials" These three words are like a soul imprint deeply engraved in the heart of the empty branch, for some reason, after coming out, he not only did not feel afraid and scared because of those disgusting things in the ancient building, but also smiled, he also felt very happy at that moment, because he saw the true meaning of the other side of this world, he saw the most coveted figure in his heart, and the rest of his life will be spent chasing that name.
The divergent mind gradually returned to sobriety, and the empty branch that fell into the memory couldn't help but smile, and then looked at Gu Qinghuan, who was now lying listlessly on the table, he could feel that the black-winged demon who was staring at everything was still in his body, but it was covered up by his current hypocritical disguise, and he had to wait patiently, waiting for the day when the black-winged demon would swallow up the resistance again.
"Huh, if you don't tell me a story, you still peek at me and laugh, am I that funny?"
Speechlessly, he glanced at the empty branches, and Qinghuan buried his head again, now his idea is quite simple, that is, to be the saltiest salted fish king swimming in the salt tank quietly, if it can really be realized, it will be really great!
"Sister~"
Bai Mocheng's strange tone made Qing Huan, who was lying on the table, obviously nervous, and her body shook unconsciously, because this was a precursor to her going to do bad things again, and she just wanted to be a relaxed "salted fish", so she wouldn't have to do drudgery so soon.
"What... What's the matter..."Raised his head with a reluctant smile, Qinghuan's heart was uneasy, but fortunately, he saw that the other three people behind him also came here, since it was a plan to think about together, it must not be too bad.
"I just discussed the next plan with my three sisters, so let's listen carefully. ”
Originally, it was a more serious matter, but after the mouth of Bai Mo City, Qing Huan would feel that he couldn't be serious, he didn't have Chu Jianmo's sense of awe for the upper spirit clan, plus what Bai Mo City did on weekdays, now Qing Huan only had the idea of praying that she didn't play a prank.
"Three days later, Yu Xin, Jian Mo and Jian Yao went to the Jin Family Sect Mountain as the envoys of the Situ family, and worked with them to deal with the affairs of the Sea Clan, and put pressure on the Sea Clan from the front; ”
"Eh, what about me?" didn't mention that he didn't think it was a good thing, the sense of crisis in his heart had broken through the limit, this little witch must be doing something!
"You, of course, are the most critical person in this mission!" Bai Mocheng's normal smile finally couldn't hide the "evil" smile in her heart anymore, and with a snap of her right hand, she sealed the four windows and one door around this with a spirit array, and then said to Qing Huan with a pitiful "innocent" look, "We need a person to enter the enemy's interior to explore on the spot, and after our rigorous discussion, we have decided to hand over this glorious mission to you!"
"Over... What about the process..."Qing Huan has done a lot of infiltration tasks alone, which is acceptable to him, but the infiltration mission that Bai Mocheng said will make him think about it.
"I heard that the head of the house named Paga likes beautiful women very much, and has married a three-digit harem by now. ”
"So what..."
Let yourself and the Empty Branch Sword Mo form a demon hunting group to participate in the frontal battle by assisting the troops, and then deliberately defeat and be captured and mixed into the Sea Clan, so that they can ignore the defensive enchantment effect of their Sea Clan, and Mo Cheng will also hand over the Sea Clan map that Mu Xing can find to himself in the future, so that he can have a safer place to escape... It's not like where did you get these materials in such a short period of time, and even the preferences of the other party's family owner have come out...
Taking a deep breath, Qinghuan calmed down her mind a little, and then looked at Bai Mocheng, but responded to her very calmly, "I'll do it, tell me the specific details." ”
"Huh?" This time Qing Huan didn't resist, which made Mo Cheng, who was looking forward to seeing Qing Huan's "cowardly" expression, stunned, when did this thing accept her own backlash, Sister Linxuan couldn't be happy to die when she knew...
"I can't let you go. Got up from the chair, looked at the four people sitting around, glanced at it silently, and then gave Mo Cheng a firm middle finger, "So please tell me as complete the information as possible, and then I'll clean you up when it's over." ”
"Ah, Sister Qinghuan, you are more like an angel than me!" Bai Mocheng's exaggerated expression and movements had already surprised Qing Huan, but the people behind him, except for Yu Xin, who originally belonged to the spiritual realm, could be said to be quite surprised, after all, the destruction of a majestic legend was still quite shocking.
"Come less!"
"Then since this has been decided, before parting, let's help Qinghuan complete the training. ”
Looking at Lin Xinyue's face that couldn't wait to help him dress up, Qinghuan couldn't help but stroke his forehead, almost forgetting that this guy also has the same hobbies as Chen Linxuan, and Xiao Junzhuo's acquiescence was estimated to be ready to watch a good show, hmm?
