Chapter 11: The Valley That Doesn't Exist, The World Five Years Later
Mo Xuan and the three of them walked in the direction that the old turtle man said, and when they came uphill, Mo Xuan was attracted by a human skeleton in the corner.
"Look at the sword next to this skeleton"
Qiu'er and Chu Yue'er looked in the direction Mo Xuan said, "Isn't it just a rusty sword, if you lack weapons, Miss Ben can give you one when she goes out." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you didn't see that sword, the sword body is rusty, but the hilt is cyan and transparent like a pearl, a good sword!"
Mo Xuan walked over and picked up the sword, "The sword body is rusty, but the hilt of the sword is like a new life, after I go back, I will build him into a fan and give it to Mu Yan", the wrist rotated slightly, and the green sword flashed as fast as lightning, and the sword light flashed, as if reflecting the woman's blue and weak figure, which matched Mo Xuan like that.
Mo Xuan put the sword into the storage ring, and the three of them walked uphill and walked towards the entrance of the cave. The faint sunlight and fresh air made the three of them seem to be reborn, Mo Xuan blew out the torch in his hand and threw it away, "What's the matter, why are these weeds so high?"
Qiu'er looked at this strange grassland suspiciously, "I remember that when we came in from the valley, these flowers and plants were only up to the knees, and it was only a dozen quarters of an hour, and they grew too fast!"
"Brother Mo Xuan carries me, I can't see the road", the weeds were already higher than the little girl, so Mo Xuan carried her on his back.
"Wait! hell am I!" Qiu'er suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Mo Xuan turned around, and the goosebumps scattered all over the place, and a sense of fear arose!
The mountain behind him is gone!Thus turning into an endless and boundless prairie! Isn't it that there are also a few sheep cries of "baa-" to let Mo Xuan know that this is not an illusion!
"What's the situation!Am I dreaming??Could it be that we have an illusion underground!", as soon as Mo Xuan finished speaking, Qiu'er pinched Mo Xuan's face and twisted it vigorously, "Oops... Hurts", "No... It's real... How so. ”
"Let's go to Ice Cloud City and ask someone if I feel wrong. ”
After a long time, the three of them crossed the weeds more than one meter high, groped their way out of the prairie, and what caught their eyes was the city wall and gate made of blue crystal, standing for thousands of years with a heroic atmosphere.
"It's worthy of Ice Cloud City, the atmosphere of the local tyrant is coming!"
"Wow" Chu Yue'er has ignored that small village since she was a child, and she was amazed when she saw such a grand ice sculpture for the first time.
The city gate was wide open, and pedestrians shuttled one after another, and Mo Xuan and the three walked in with the crowd.
The city is extremely lively, and it can be described as a sea of people, "Strange, does Ice Cloud City have such a huge flow of people? ”
Qiu'er took Chu Yue'er by the hand and followed behind Mo Xuan, "Yes, Ice Cloud City is cold all year round, and few people come here to travel or do business. ”
Mo Xuan noticed the crowd in the alley on the corner of the street, "Tramps, how could homeless people gather in the cold Ice Cloud City?", the three of them endured the doubts in their hearts, Mo Xuan reasoned that girls were inconvenient, and asked Qiu'er to take Chu Yue'er to the inn to fill her stomach, and went out to inquire by herself.
Walking to the corner of the street, Mo Xuan sat down next to the homeless man who was sitting alone, pretending to be very familiar, "Alas, brother, it's really difficult!" When the homeless man heard this, he also lamented, "Alas... Who says it's not, it's hard to find food without a place to live, and it's still us ordinary people who suffer from the war!", Mo Xuan heard that something was faintly wrong, how could he not know about such a big thing as the war?
Mo Xuan smiled awkwardly, "Fellow, you said war?"
"You don't know that?"
Mo Xuan hurriedly explained, "Yes.. That is true.. I've traveled from the distant city of Yangtian, so I've seen a little less... Slightly less!"
The homeless man suddenly realized: "I see. "Because Yang Heavenly City is far away from Ice Cloud City, one is the northernmost and the other is the southernmost, and there are often adventurers who spend three or four years on foot shuttling between the two cities, so it is not surprising.
Mo Xuan immediately said: "Fellow, tell me about it!
The homeless man raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, "Four years ago, for some reason, a large number of monsters landed in Qingyun City, and the war continued for three years, and the other four major cities sent troops and city guards to help, but in the end, they were defeated, and Qingyun City has been destroyed. ”
"What!! Qingyun City has been destroyed!!Are you serious!?" Mo Xuan was shocked and almost didn't sit still. "No, you said there was a war in Qingyun City four years ago?" the homeless man was stunned, "Yes! Everyone knows it. ”
"Then let me ask you, there was a monster raid in Berlin Town in Qingyun City, that is, when was the enrollment of the Five Elements Academy. ”
"That time... It's been a few years, it should have been five years. ”
Mo Xuan's brain seemed to have lost the ability to direct his own actions, and he stood there motionless like a log, staring at the dejected crowd on the street with two eyes in a daze.
"It's... Is that so... It's been five years. ”
"How many people are still alive in Qingyun City?"
The homeless man thought for a fan and said, "It is said that the city lord of Qingyun City opened the teleportation array at the cost of burning his life, and most of the people escaped from this realm, and the Five Elements Academy was also integrated with the Ice Cloud Academy of Ice Cloud City, and thanks to the kindness of the city lord of Ice Cloud City, he took in us as a group of refugees, otherwise I am afraid that we will all starve to death." ”
Mo Xuan then asked, "Why did the monsters attack Qingyun City, and on such a large scale?"
"It is said that the monster got the news that two experimental objects appeared in Qingyun City, so there was a large-scale attack, as for what the experimental objects were, I don't know. ”
Mo Xuan looked up at the sky and didn't speak for a long time.
Mo Xuan returned to the inn and ate the leftovers that Qiu'er and the others brought back.
Qiu'er just put on a new dress, only to see a light purple long gauze skirt, long and dragged to the ground, wearing a jade ring around the waist, with a jade bracelet on the right wrist that corresponds to the dress, three thousand green silk was coiled into a hibiscus bun, a royal blue hosta was inserted between the hairlines, heavy makeup was lightly wiped, a few strands of hair around the neck, the waist was like a small man, the willow was graceful, the lips were like Fan Su, the cherry was small and exquisite, the lips were dotted with a touch of vermilion, and the clean and white jade face was wiped with a little powder, the eyes were like water, clear as water, and the whole person was simple and generous.
Chu Yue'er saw Mo Xuan's abnormality, "Sister Qiu'er, what did you say happened to Brother Mo Xuan, he has been very disappointed since he came back." ”
"Mo Xuan, man, there will always be a few days when I am unhappy. Don't worry. ”
Evening.
"What are you talking about!" Qiu'er and Chu Yue'er, who were about to rest, were thunderbolted by the sunny day, and they were completely sleepy.
"I'm not kidding, what the old wanderer told me yesterday doesn't seem to be a lie. ”
"It can't be... That valley, is the time different from the outside world?" Qiu'er thought for a while, "My master said that there are some special places where time is different from the outside world, could it be that valley?"
Mo Xuan leaned against the wall, "Tomorrow I will go to the Five Elements Academy to investigate, there are people I know there, you two girls will stay at the inn." ”
"It's been five years, and it's really hopeless..."
"I don't know if Mu Yan and Lin Shuang'er are okay..."
