Listen to the sound of the water and hold the wine,

I woke up drunk in the afternoon and didn't wake up.

When will I send Chunchun back?

Evening mirror,

wounded streaming,

The past is a later empty memory.

On the sand and on the pond,

The clouds break through the moon and the flowers make shadows.

Heavy curtains cover the lights,

The wind is uncertain,

The beginning of human tranquility,

Tomorrow sunset red should be full of paths.

--------- "Heavenly Fairy Water Tune Counts and Listens to Wine"

Shi Jiu's heart thought about it, his mind outlined the route of this trip, the direction of their way to the extremely cold land passed through many state capitals along the way, and they must pass through the unpredictable city, where there is Duan Wushuang's hometown, of course, it is also the place where Shi Jiu and Meng Qingchun officially met for the first time.

Shi Jiu and Dongxue discussed it, and they decided to go to the long-lost Unpredictable City to have a look.

They bumped around on the road for a few more days, and Shi Jiu told Dongxue that if they chose to go to Mojie City, according to their experience of past travel, it would only take three days to directly cross the Hanhai Desert in front of them, but if they detoured the Hanhai Desert, it might take about ten days.

In the end, when Dongxue was about to arrive at the edge of the Hanhai Desert, he found a driver who was familiar with the terrain, and Dongxue bluntly told the master that in order to save ten days of time, he asked him to take Shi Jiu and Dongxue through the Hanhai Desert in a carriage, and the driver happily agreed.

Three days passed quickly, Shi Jiu visited Xiang Nan in the void pendant several times during this period, but she didn't expect that she was very happy inside, not only did she not need to eat and drink, but her physical condition began to recover unexpectedly, although it was only a few days, it had already made Xiang Nan feel the incredible changes.

Xiang Nan told Shi Jiu about this excitement, and Shi Jiu was also unusually happy, maybe this Void Pendant was the way to heal Xiang Nan.

There is also a little bit of relief that Shi Jiu was also very relieved, this time he crossed the Hanhai Desert without encountering any obstacles, not even a single blazing salamander, and passed through the entire Hanhai Desert safely and smoothly.

Since Shi Jiu left Dacheng, the car went all the way north, and it had been more than ten days of bumps in a row, until today, when the sun set, they finally arrived outside the city of Unpredictable City.

Shi Jiu asked the master to stop for a moment, and he stood on the board of the car and looked at the unpredictable city not far in front of them.

The last rays of the sun also fell into the continuous mountains, and Shi Jiu, who was standing on top of the carriage, could already see the strange figure of the unpredictable city emerging in the twilight.

A few years ago, when he entered the unpredictable city with his injured dream youth, it was the early morning here, and today he and Dongxue came to their hometown again, but it was sunset in the West Mountain, and it seemed that there was already a providence in the dark, but the flow of time was beyond Shi Jiu's imagination.

After entering the unpredictable city, Shi Jiu generously gave the master in charge of driving more than ten ingots of silver, telling him that he could handle the rest of the journey by himself, and asked the master to hire other vehicles to go back to his hometown.

These tempting big ingots of silver made the honest driver very frightened, and he excused himself again and again, but Shi Jiu's attitude was resolute, he accepted the silver gratefully, and then left with a thousand thanks.

Shi Jiu asked Dongxue: "This is Duan Wushuang's hometown, and it is also the location of the legendary Tianji Old Man's Duan Mansion, have you been here in the past?"

"Unpredictable City, is it really as mysterious as its name?" Dongxue shook her head and said, "It's a pity that I haven't been here, but my father and the two Great Elders have come to visit the Old Man of the Heavenly Machine, according to my father, the Old Man of the Heavenly Machine has never given any instructions, and they even suspect that the rumors about the Old Man of the Heavenly Machine are nothing more than false lies. ”

Shi Jiu asked, "Do you think these legends are true or false?"

Dongxue thought for a while and said: "I would rather believe that it is true, although I have not met the old man of Tianji, but you have been here in the past, and Duan Wushuang is also the sister of the old man of Tianji, so I prefer to believe that these legends about the old man of Tianji are true." ”

"I did come once, but it was a few years ago. Shi Jiu's eyes were full of memories, and he said slowly: "Meng Qingchun and I escaped from the danger of the Spirit Beast Valley, and arrived at the unpredictable city through the guidance of the old man Qilin. ”

Dongxue said in disbelief: "So, you haven't seen Duan Tianji either?"

Shi Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, when I first came to the Duan Mansion of Mojicheng City, Duan Tianji had already wandered away, but now

The Void Pendant I was wearing, but it was left to me by him when I was still in the Duan Mansion at that time. ”

"Wow?!, this is also a legend!" Dongxue asked, "You have never met, and he gave you such a precious thing?"

Shi Jiu said: "The message he left is clear, that is, the person who gave the Void Pendant to me was designated as me, and he directly said my name. ”

Shi Jiu told Dongxue about the story of Duan Mansion in its original form, and after Dongxue heard it, her expression changed from disbelief to admiration, she was completely impressed by Shi Jiu's experience.

"As if it was providence, I got this Void Pendant!" Shi Jiu said with emotion.

Dongxue nodded and said, "In this way, there is still a great relationship between the old man of Tianji and you, don't you know what the origin is?"

Shi Jiu said: "I don't know, but the old man of Tianji has always acted in a way that ordinary people can't imagine, and the old man Qilin once told me that his experience and insights are absolutely unique in this world, and he is also the only person in this world who is worthy of his convincing." ”

"Hmm~!, I also really want to see such a legendary figure, I don't know if Duan Tianji has returned to Moji City?" Dongxue said excitedly: "Let's see if we can meet this legendary big man this time." ”

Shi Jiu and Dong Xue both jumped out of the carriage, and they walked into the unpredictable city side by side.

The scene of the unpredictable city was completely different from the scene that Shi Jiu saw for the first time, the streets of the past were bustling, bustling merchants and the cries of selling one after another, but now the unpredictable city has become a bleak and lonely scene. The restaurant that once met Duan Wushuang for the first time was even closer, with cobwebs all over the door and dust on the steps.

Shi Jiu and the others continued to walk forward, and finally saw the former Duan Mansion.

Half of the gatehouse of the Duan Mansion had collapsed, and only a mottled old door was left swaying alone.

Shi Jiu walked to the door and looked inside, where were there still pavilions and houses, but they were just barren ruins, and even many places were full of devastation.

A bleak memory instantly filled Shi Jiu's heart.
