Chapter 252: Return
Built along the mountains and rivers and along the coast, the dilapidated town has lived up to the past years, and the collapsed old houses have been abandoned for many years.
This is Leng Yu's homeland, when he was a child, he was robbed by pirates, and people who exceeded the ninth floor were killed, and now there are only a dozen or so families left to take root here.
The town is not big, after that catastrophe, although Chu Yuan later sent troops to get rid of the bandits, some of the remaining people moved away from this sad place, and only a few people were nostalgic and reluctant to move away from the countryside.
It is said to be a small town, but it is no longer the same, only a dozen households, but it looks like a peaceful small fishing village.
This is Leng Yu's homeland today, a corner of the mortal people, a microcosm of the ordinary world, a peaceful and ordinary life.
"My lord, did you think he would really come?"
Abandoned town, ruined walls, a half-collapsed house, covered with a thick layer of dust, Shuling and Yuanqing, hiding here.
A few days ago, the two of them quietly came to this town, within a radius of fifty miles, and found no trace of Feng Xiaoyi, and they were not sure whether anyone had been here, so they had to wait and see.
"How is Gong Fu's side?" Yuan Qing asked.
Gong Fu was separated from them, and the task was to divert the attention of the Western Chu Empire, Yuan Qing was not worried about Chu Yuan, and did not want to reveal his true whereabouts.
"It's business as usual." Shuling replied.
The two of them lurked in the ruins, uninvited guests, like hidden dangers buried here, with the possibility of erupting at any time, breaking the quiet life here for many years.
On this day, in the far side of the town, on a green hill facing the sea, a young man covered by a black robe walked out, holding a jade box in his arms.
The arrival of new outsiders did not disturb the ordinary people in the town, but Yuanqing and Shuling in the ruins were alarmed.
"Another unknown figure has appeared."
Yuan Qing, who was talking, suddenly stopped, he whispered, took Shuling with him, and sneaked out.
...
The mountain, not high, the sea, the vast, under the black robe, the face of Feng Xiaoyi was gradually revealed, and the jade box in his arms was taken out.
After ten days of travel and several tosses, today he finally found this side, this abandoned town, Leng Yu's hometown.
The green mountains at his feet are Leng Yu's favorite place to stay when he was a child, with a wide field of vision and an unobstructed view of the vast sea in front of him.
In the distance at the foot of the mountain, the smoke of the cooking is everywhere, and the figures of the fishermen outside the house can be seen faintly, this green mountain, one side can overlook the sea, and the other side can overlook the fisherman's house.
A pine tree on the top of the mountain, waving in the wind, and the leafy canopy stretches out to the fullest, as if it is the guardian of the green mountain.
On the mountain, under the trees, Feng Xiaoyi walked to the steep cliff face, condescending, and the endless sea was filled in front of him.
It is quiet, there is no strife, there are no fetters, the soul is purified, and the spirit is sustenance.
Sleeping in the green mountains, accompanied by green water, sunrise, sunset, and the bright moon on the sea, are all accompanied by you.
The return from childhood to the present day is still this mountain, still this sea, and in a flash, more than 30 years have passed, and it seems to have returned to the original point.
But now and at the beginning, there are two completely different mentalities, things are wrong, fate makes people, and in the past 30 years, he has not lived himself.
Just for that original intention to last, he has no choice, his discouragement, his desperation, and despair under persecution, who will care, who will understand, and who will give him tolerance?
But it didn't matter, for those people, it wasn't just him who was burned by the flames, it was all in the past.
Only those who care will not forget his passing.
The waves crashed against the reef, and the pine trees on the mountain had grown into towering trees, which were the small seedlings he planted when he was a child.
Is it buried under the tree, sleeping in the green hills?
No! Feng Xiaoyi rejected this thought, this sea brought Leng Yu's dearest, when he was a child, he sank on the green mountain, and now, how should he return to the sinking of the past?
The flowing water goes east, the hundred rivers return to the sea, a small stream hangs on the green mountain, the jade box that is opened, and the ashes that are sprinkled down, with the flowing water, enter the sea.
The sea is vast, run to freedom, let go vertically, no longer restrained, go, to find the thoughts buried in your heart.
...
The jade box and ashes, with the flowing water away, watched them leave, their hands empty, and their hearts were empty.
"I'm bringing you back, my friend."
Looking at the flowing water, looking at the sea, witnessing Leng Yu running to the depths of the sea, the lost wind Xiaoyi, he felt that he owed Leng Yu, he stood alone for a long time, except for this meager sentence, he couldn't think of what to say.
The man is gone, everything is gone, and he is left alone in a trance, hovering on the edge of confusion.
Zou Qingshan, Yun Yi, these two people, can he still go to find them?
Leng Yu's death disrupted all his thoughts.
Chu Yuan's words were still like a sharp stinger, deeply piercing his heart, and he once again fell into confusion, confusion and decadence.
And in this confusion, suddenly at a certain moment, not far behind him, there was an obvious sound of footsteps, interrupting his own thought world.
On the green mountain, Yuan Qing and Shu Ling walked out majestically, Feng Xiaoyi, who had his back to them, and before turning around, he sensed the breath first.
"Click! Click! ”
The sound of steady and powerful footsteps approached, and Yuan Qing and the others stopped three zhang away from him without turning around, but at this time, Feng Xiaoyi, through his breath, could already roughly identify who was coming.
Yuan Qing! This person, how could he forget?
The sea breeze came towards him, and under the black robe that was covered, Feng Xiaoyi gently closed his eyes, and Yuan Qing's arrival undoubtedly disturbed his complex thoughts.
"You shouldn't welcome my arrival, disturbing your mood at the moment."
Behind him, Yuan Qing's voice floated in, and it sounded like his words were a little sincere.
Feng Xiaoyi didn't respond, opened his eyes, looked at the sea, and at some point, under the loose sleeve robe, there was an extra space jade talisman in his hand.
"I have to say, I was surprised when I heard that you came to the Western Chu Empire to find this little major general named Leng Yu, and I also admired your affection and righteousness, so just now, after I came, I didn't show up, just because I didn't want to ruin your final send-off to Leng Yu."
Yuan Qing's face rarely revealed true emotions, and after saying these words, he shook his head regretfully and said, "But it's a pity, you and I have different positions, you shouldn't have an affair with that person."
"But you have been swept into this whirlpool, Feng Xiaoyi, Feng Xiaoyi, do you want to die, or become a wasted person, and go back to the temple with me?"
"Click!"
And just before Yuan Qing's words were finished, a broken voice suddenly sounded, Feng Xiaoyi crushed the spatial jade talisman, however, just as the spatial teleportation was about to take effect, a change occurred in this small space where the three of them were.
A hexagonal ancient mirror broke through the ground, the spatial jade talisman was suppressed, and the teleportation space portal had just taken shape, and it was dispelled into invisibility by a secret force.
Useless! Lapse! The Space Jade Talisman can't break the game.
Coming from a distance, the light curtains in all directions quickly contracted and became smaller, like a spatial prison the size of a hundred zhang, trapping the three of them inside.
"From the moment I knew you were still alive, I learned about what happened after you came back, so I know that behind you, there is a helper who is proficient in the power of space."
"Since you dare to come to the Western Chu Empire, how can you not have a back hand to get out, but, unfortunately, this space ancient mirror of mine, which is close to the sub-artifact level, can still leave you." Yuan Qing said slowly.
As he said, he knew that there was a master who was proficient in the power of space behind Feng Xiaoyi, and he didn't know whether he could keep people, after all, this ancient mirror was damaged and cracked, and it could only be regarded as half a secondary artifact at most.
Fortunately, the result is his ancient mirror, and he can also crack the space jade talisman of Feng Xiaoyi.
This is a good thing for him, but for Feng Xiaoyi, it is the opposite.
"Rustle!"
The palms of his hands were clenched, the broken jade talisman turned into powder and sprinkled it, turned around, and faced the two of them, Feng Xiaoyi removed the black robe on his body, revealing his true face.
"I've been waiting for you for many days, since I'm going to capture you, I'm naturally ready, I don't want you to escape again."
Yuan Qing said: "Tied up, or dying and struggling?"
There is no way to retreat, trapped in the prison, calm down Feng Xiaoyi, his thoughts are more unstable, many factors, a rush of brains to his heart, as if there is something to erode his mind.
When I met Yuan Qing again, I reminded me of the past, and I thought of the next situation, and the wind and Xiaoyi, who was already at a low tide, were affected by the recent negative emotions.
In Yuan Qing's words, the Lord of the Underworld, the person who changed his life, was contaminated with its cause and effect, and was destined to be entangled.
"My lord, what's wrong with him?"
Shu Ling asked, at this time, the two of them, it can be seen from the outside, Feng Xiaoyi is uncertain, holding a sword in one hand and a sword in the other, trying to pull it out but not moving, the breath is strong and weak, like a light going out.
"My gut told me that something was going to happen."
Yuan Qing stared, and whispered, Feng Xiaoyi's state inexplicably made him have a bad premonition, and then said, "Be careful."
Suddenly, Yuan Qing said loudly: "As a disciple of the Lord of the Underworld, you dare to wander at this moment, such a low-level mistake, you shouldn't make it!"
The tone of rebuke, the heart of discipline, Yuan Qing is afraid and hostile to the underworld, but it is also awe-inspiring, worthy of sincere convincing.
"Choke!"
The snow hatred in his hand was suddenly pulled out, and Feng Xiaoyi quickly retreated, forcing towards the edge of the space prison.
Seeing this, Yuan Qing said lightly: "It seems that you are going to resist stubbornly, then I have to force you down."
When the words fell, he had disappeared on the spot, and the Shuling beside him also followed.
In the line of sight, Yuan Qing and Shuling approached one after another, the distance was too close, the speed was fast, Feng Xiaoyi didn't retreat far, and they forced up.
Seeing the two of them coming, Feng Xiaoyi waved his hand, and a black shadow suddenly shot out, and with lightning speed, he pounced on Yuan Qing in front of him.
"Puppet?"
Yuan Qing was slightly startled and wanted to avoid it, but the black shadow came in an instant, rushed over, and immediately hugged him.
"Stop him." Yuan Qing drank low.
He understands that Feng Xiaoyi has a puppet that is not weak, and now he is still using it to entangle him, wanting to delay some time, wanting to break through the space prison.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly intercepted Yuan Qing, taking advantage of a little time, Feng Xiaoyi retreated to the edge of the prison, raised his sword and slashed down, and the invisible space barrier was split out of a shallow sword mark.
"Bang bang!"
Two swords went down in a row, the sword marks deepened, and faintly small cracks crawled out.
The fourth sword was raised, and at this moment, Su Ling was killed, holding an iron spear, and stabbed mercilessly.
Great Emperor Realm! I haven't seen him for many years, and Shuling has also reached this realm, and his momentum is not weak at all compared to Yan Liancheng, and it is even slightly stronger.
"Zheng!"
Turning around to face the battle, Feng Xiaoyi had to deal with Shuling first, and for a while, the two started a dangerous battle.
On the other end, the puppet incarnated by the ink shopkeeper hugged Yuan Qing regardless of it, dragging the latter to death, and letting the other party's attack fall.
After more than ten breaths of effort, Yuan Qing's thousands of fierce attacks fell, and the back of the ink shopkeeper was dented, but he still didn't let go.
Yuan Qing frowned, a touch of coldness flashed on his face, the puppet was a dead thing, it didn't know the pain, it didn't feel it, it didn't destroy it, and it was difficult to get out of the entanglement.
On the other hand, over there, Shuling and Feng Xiaoyi fought alone, but they were suppressed and fell into the downwind, and they were in danger, and they were very difficult to deal with.
A few minutes later, the back of the ink shopkeeper, the bones were shattered, and it was pierced by a sharp weapon, but he still dragged Yuan Qing backwards without fear of death.
Retreating to the space barrier, Yuan Qing hit up again and again, and the ink shopkeeper was constantly attacked by him, both of which were damaged.
"It can't be dragged on like this anymore, Shuling can't be stopped."
Thinking silently in his heart, his back slammed into the space barrier again, Yuan Qing made up his mind, and a thumb-sized mark appeared on his forehead, and then, a breath that surpassed himself suddenly exploded.
"Boom!"
Breaking through his current limit, Yuan Qing was promoted to the level of Yuan Zun Realm in one fell swoop, and the ink shopkeeper was shaken away by his powerful breath, and his arm was broken.
But seeing it, the whole person of the ink shopkeeper flew out, hugged Yuan Qing's arm, and still stayed on his body.
Removed the broken arms on both sides of the waist, Yuan Qing casually discarded them, and at this time, the incomplete ink shopkeeper pounced on him desperately.
