Chapter 403: Water and the Sky and the Moon, a Smile and a Remnant Life
Kyushu, Extreme Sword Peak.
It was almost noon, and the Dugu Ji Turning Sect immediately summoned the Lord of the Seven Abyss Sword Palace, and soon received an urgent message from Ye Hongfei, briefly explaining the beginning and end of the first battle in Genzhou, and after the Dugu Sword Lord ordered the order, the Extreme Sword Peak immediately announced to the outside world that the master of Dugu Ji had been in retreat, and refused all outsiders.
The seven palace masters of the contemporary backbone of the Extreme Sword Peak also decided to postpone everything for the time being after preliminary discussions, leaving the master brother and the master of the Yunxiao Hall to discuss with the Zen Master after they left the customs, and before that, they cooperated with the Yunxiao Hall and the Burning Incense Valley to jointly stabilize the situation in Kyushu.
At this point, Dugu Ji did not immediately start retreating, but came to the lotus pond in Shanyin again, but did not see the fisherman in sackcloth.
"Where is this kid again?"
Dugu Ji shook his head helplessly, and pushed the door straight into the thatched hut, which was still empty, only Fang Zhuo had a plate of delicately arranged flower-like dishes on it, shaped like peonies, and a bowl of hot soup and a bowl of rice next to it, all covered with a thin layer of fire curtain, so that it would not cool down soon.
Dugu Ji sat down with a smile, removed the fire curtain casually, picked up chopsticks and began to enjoy this crispy and delicious, unique flavor peony fish fillet, the soup is made of black chicken, add two pieces of ginseng slices, the heat is very strong, but the rice is just steamed from ordinary rice, not even as good as the tribute rice of the mortal world, but fortunately, it is this year's new rice, which was cultivated by the kid himself, and it is rare to be natural.
Exquisite but not extravagant, casual but not perfunctory, rare to be attentive, and even more rare to have a heart.
This meal, Dugu Ji is alone but eats with relish, if he is born, if he comes back one step earlier, and the three of them share it, it will be better.
Without the icing on the cake, Dugu Ji ate quickly, and when he stepped out of the thatched house, the man had returned to the lotus pond and continued to sit and fish.
"Have you cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks?"
"It's all washed. ”
The Mai man nodded and asked, "Didn't you say retreat, why are you still here?"
Dugu Ji came to his side with his hand, and said in a soft voice: "My injury is not serious, the retreat is just to consolidate the realm, not in a hurry, plus I still have your cooking skills in my heart, I can't stop being greedy, so I came first." ”
"How does it taste?"
"It's better than before. Dugu Ji laughed, "It's just that it's still too stingy when boiling the soup, and you should add a few more slices of ginseng." ”
The man in Mai turned his head and glared at him obliquely, and said angrily: "Shall I stew a pot of ginseng for you directly? Just you, a blind chef who can't even tell the difference between frying and stir-frying, and who can hatch chickens directly with a boiled egg, are embarrassed to judge my cooking skills? If you don't cultivate immortals, you will have to starve to death." ”
Dugu Ji didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Indeed, I have already reached the realm of dining and drinking dew, and whether to eat or not to eat fireworks in the mortal world is just a matter of willingness, even if I really can't quit this gluttonous problem, but isn't it still you!"
The man in Mai sighed helplessly: "Yes, I used to have a sister-in-law, now I have me, and I will have a life in the future, and it is always you who enjoys the blessings of the mouth, and you will never starve to death anyway." ”
Dugu Ji's eyes were soft, and he recalled with a smile: "My greedy brush was raised by your sister-in-law, she often said when she was pregnant, when the child is born, if it is a girl, teach her cooking skills first and then teach her swordsmanship, if it is a boy, give him a sister." Pity...... It's too late, I can't imagine that the person who finally learned her good cooking skills turned out to be you. ”
The man in sackcloth looked at Dugu Ji's lonely demeanor, and his expression couldn't help but feel a little more gloomy.
"I only learned eight points in my sister-in-law's cooking, and as for Shengyi, oh...... There is a pimple in the sword, counting on him to place his affection on things other than kendo, that is a real miracle, I can learn five points, and I can barely please a girl, I don't have to worry. ”
Dugu Ji laughed softly: "I also want to taste his craftsmanship with my own mouth, but I don't know when it will be real...... Forget it, let's talk about it when he comes back, what are you going to do now. ”
The man in Mai naturally diverted the topic and said, "If you don't talk about this, let's talk about today's trip, have you gotten what you want?"
Dugu Ji nodded, looked at the sky, and quickly retracted his gaze and said: "After today, there will be no external troubles in the thirteen places of Kyushu, as long as the thirteen places are not chaotic, Kyushu will be temporarily peaceful, and now we are powerless to intervene, so we will look at the means of the Wenfu." ”
The Mai man bowed his head lightly in silence, and Dugu Ji said again: "During my retreat, you and your junior disciples must take more care, and you are not allowed to come willfully." ”
The Mai man's voice was cold: "I know, I want to kill him, I want to do it every day, but I know it's not at this time." ”
Dugu Ji patted him on the shoulder, turned around and left, "I'll talk to you next time." ”
"Big brother!" Seeing Dugu Ji drifting away, the man in Mai finally stopped him, "I don't blame you for stopping me back then, I understand ......"
Dugu Ji turned his back to his only brother "Dugu Lu", his eyes closed slightly, he took a deep breath, and then waved his hand in a dashing manner, and his figure flashed away.
If it weren't for his mind, if he hadn't had that incident back then, he would have been the lord of the first house, but now it's like this, it's also good......
Dugulu looked back at the water, and the lotus pond returned to tranquility again, only the fishing rod trembled slightly-
The fish has taken the bait!
......
Thirteen lands, Jing land.
The green forest of the mountains and mountains here, the houses are few and sparsely populated, the mountains are dense in the morning, accompanied by the sound of birds and birds, the roar of wild beasts, full of vitality, heaven and harmony, just like a fairy family style, so pleasant and quiet.
In this fairyland on earth, there is a silver belt that comes out of the mountain, pouring down from a valley cliff, such as hanging the sky and silver, roaring like thunder, spectacular and very.
Because the valley is like the moon, the water under the cliff is like a mirror, the sky is falling, such as the bright moon in the sky, if the moon is bright, stand on the cliff and look down, you can see the wonder of the double moon, the valley is named "Water Moon Valley"!
The Water Moon Valley is famous for its thirteen places, not because of its beautiful scenery, but because of a tall building near the waterfall in the valley.
The building is 100 zhang high, stands on nine floors, magnificent, magnificent, where the green tile eaves, the weeping bell and the red window, there is no prohibition, enchantment fluctuations, and there is more immortal formation support, revealing the breath of the immortal road, this array, is the great array of immortals.
This building is called "Wanyue Moon", and it is one of the three major killing god dynasties in the thirteen places, and the headquarters of the Wanyue Building!
Today, on the top floor of the Wanyue Building, where there have been no visitors for a long time, a handsome young man who was born with a different appearance came alone, with a melon seed face, white skin like a newborn baby, and a pure breath, which made people feel good when they saw it.
However, it is this very handsome and handsome gentleman, but he has a pair of strange and evil cyan eyes.
The person who came was the mysterious young man who came across the border and descended on the land of the Jin Kingdom - Qingtong!
At this time, Qingtong was standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the balcony on the top floor with a smile on the corner of his mouth, an elegant man in white who was caressing the piano, did not make a sound, only listened quietly.
Due to the formation enchantment, the roar of the waterfall in the Water Moon Valley did not reach the Wanyue Tower, but the people in the building could still enjoy the magnificent scene of hanging from the sky at will.
This situation, accompanied by the sound of fairy music, is the wonder of the world!
Such a fairyland holy land, who can connect it with the Wanyue Tower that makes the hearts of the monks of the world palpitate and chill?
On the balcony, the body is in harmony with the scene, like a man in white who is like an immortal, and the song is over, but it is still lingering, and the aftertaste is endless.
When the elegant man saw the blue pupils that had been waiting for a long time, he also smiled back, picked up the glass cup on the side of the piano case, and got up to greet him.
"I've been waiting, Xiaoqing......"
"My name is 'Blue Hitomi' now. Qing Tong hurriedly reminded.
The man in white smiled indifferently: "Okay, Xiao Qingtong, I really didn't expect you to find me first." ”
Qingtong followed the man in white into the tea case, sat opposite each other, and said: "If it weren't for 'Yuan Xiao' telling me, and giving me jade before leaving, I really didn't know that Uncle Shi was so idle in such a fairyland on earth." ”
The man in white said unexpectedly, "Yuan Xiao, how did that little guy know?"
Qingtong Zhengse said: "Yuan Xiao naturally doesn't know, but since Uncle Shi left, there has been no news for more than two hundred years, and you have blocked the 'Moon Sky Gorge' and not allowed others to investigate, we are naturally worried about what happened to you, Yuan Xiao just hopes that I will explore one or two on this trip, and I will see people and die in the last words, he ...... I miss you very much. ”
The man in white poured a cup of fragrant tea for Qingtong, and sighed: "Only a limited number of people in the upper echelons knew about my trip back then, but it is difficult for my little nephew to be so worried and concerned, because I loved him so much in the past." ”
Qingtong smiled: "Yuan Xiao is not small now, if not, how can I find Uncle Shi so easily with a piece of jade he gave me?"
"That kid has been smart since he was a child, and two hundred years have passed, so it should be!" the man in white smiled heartily, and at the end, he asked Qingtong again, "Can someone walk with you this time?"
Qing Tong's eyes showed a hint of disgust, and she frowned: "I quietly followed the first worry-free arrival, but she should be in Kyushu now, and she is not what she is now." ”
"Then why did you find me in Jingdi?" the man in white asked again, ignoring the entanglement between them.
"It's also a causal coincidence. Qingtong slapped his thigh and said, "I made a deviation in the space passage and unexpectedly landed in the Jin Kingdom, but I didn't expect it to be crooked." ”
The man in white was stunned, and Qingtong hurriedly asked: "Uncle Shi, you should understand that this operation is of great significance to my clansmen, and I will never let the first worry-free succeed first, why did you choose to descend on the thirteen places of Kyushu in the first place but did not return for a long time? and why did you establish the Wanyue Tower? Do you already know the whereabouts of the 'Nine Corners Order'?"
The man in white, who was the owner of the Wanyue Building, did not drink the tea, but drank all the wine in the glass cup in his hand, and sighed: "I think you have also noticed that this Xiuzhen Ancient Star has forgotten its original name, and the name of the 'Daoyuan Ancient Star' has long been buried in the dust, and only the thirteen places of Kyushu remain." ”
The blue pupil bowed his head silently, and the owner of the Wanyue Mansion said: "I used to think that if the Nine Corners Order was lost, it would not be in this world, but in this world, and only the Dao Yuan Gu Star of the Primordial Realm was the most likely, so I chose to come here like you." It's a pity that after the arrival, I realized that the vicissitudes of the sea and the past are difficult to find......"
Qingtong said worriedly: "Even you haven't been able to find the Nine Corners Order?"
The Lord of the Wanyue Mansion shook his head, nodded again, and sighed: "A little clue, it is always intermittent and cannot be connected in series, I have visited all the Immortal Gu Immortal Sects in the thirteen places of Kyushu over the years, but all of them have found nothing, even the three super forces of the three realms of good and evil in Kyushu that are known as eternal existence have no records of inheritance." In desperation, I decided to create the Wanyue Building, and set up my own intelligence network by making a living from killers, so as to continue to look for the Nine Corner Order, after all, in addition to the trading house, without arousing the suspicion and fear of the local forces in the thirteen regions of Kyushu, this is the only way to reasonably own and even operate the intelligence system. It's a pity ......"
The Lord of the Wanyue Mansion sighed, and Qingtong frowned and asked, "Even the Juxian Mansion doesn't have the information we are asking for?"
The lord of the Wanyue Mansion shook his head and said: "Although the power of the Juxian Mansion is great, how can I know such ancient things? The little bit of information I have now is only what I asked for from the Wen Mansion at the beginning, and I can only barely conclude that the Nine Corners Order must be in the Daoyuan Ancient Star, as for the rest, I am afraid that only the sages of the three sects who are said to be free from heaven and man, and the dragon can see the head and the end, know more." ”
Qingtong sighed worriedly: "The sages of the three sects do not lightly show the red dust, even if they know, they are afraid that there are not many!"
After pondering for a long time, Qing Tong asked again: "In this case, why has Uncle Shi not heard from him for hundreds of years? Even if it is just a message, I can make another plan and make a plan early!"
The lord of the Wanyue Mansion looked at himself, stretched out his hand and pointed at Qingtong's chest, and said helplessly: "I am waiting for the cultivation of another world, and it is already reckless for the adversity to descend on the red dust industry, how can we not care about the existence of the Heavenly Realm? In order to ensure that the survival of this body will not harm the main body, I must cut off all connections between the two bodies, and all I will completely block the Gorge of the Moon and Heaven as soon as I leave in the past, which is really a helpless strategy for all things, not that I can't communicate, but I can't. ”
At this time, if someone else is on the side, and this word is spread, the world will be shocked, two hundred years ago, the sudden rise of a new army, the name of the cultivation realm, so that hundreds of millions of monks frightened by the remnant moon lord is actually a cultivator in another world.
Qing Tong knew that the owner of the Wanyue Mansion was jealous in his heart, and he felt helpless, after all, he was also in the same kind of reason to make this similar preparation.
The lord of the Wanyue Mansion continued: "In the past hundred years, the situation in the thirteen places of Kyushu has been turbulent, and in the past thirty years, it can be described as earth-shattering, Kyushu is a dispute between the demons and demons, the Blood Floating Massacre was destroyed by the Yunxiao Hall and the Extreme Sword Peak, the decisive battle of the civil and military forces in the thirteen places, the Wenfu Swinging the Martial God Temple, who is not shocked by the ten thousand cultivators in the world, who is not afraid?" Even if I am a Returning Void Immortal, I don't dare to act rashly, once I am discovered by the Wen Mansion my true identity, under the circumstances, no matter what reason I have for coming to this world, the Wen Mansion will inevitably take the lead in exterminating the Remnant Moon Tower, and eliminate my outlier, if this is the case, the only turning point that I have been waiting for for hundreds of years of business will not be completely empty?"
Qingtong was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked what the turnaround was, but the owner of the Wanyue Mansion hesitated and stopped talking.
Qingtong was in a hurry, and had already put away his usual jokes, changed his sitting to kneeling, bowed his head and bowed, and pleaded again with a sobbing voice: "Uncle Shi......"
The Lord of the Wanyue Mansion sighed faintly, and finally decided: "That's it, although the Divine Monarch has not been rightened, but he took care of me when he was regent, and my little nephew also had a good relationship with you. ”
Qingtong smiled, and immediately sat upright, listening with his ears down.
The Remnant Moon Mansion Lord said in a low voice, "If you want to find the Nine Corners Order, the only turning point in the world is only one person......
"Who?"
"Wenfu, Miss Wen!"
Qingtong was puzzled: "I first came to this world, everything is unknown, can the Wenfu really do this?"
The lord of the Wanyue Mansion said: "The masters of the Wenfu Mansion in the past dynasties have the ability to be unpredictable, and Miss Wen, as the contemporary mansion master, has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. In the world, the biggest anomaly is not the forbidden existence in the Divine Hidden Land, let alone the cultivation of another world like you and me, but Miss Wen! Looking at the entire Red Dust Industry, she is the only person who is likely to know the whereabouts of the Nine Corners Order!"
"If even she doesn't know the whereabouts of the Nine Corners Order, what should we do?" Qingtong said worriedly.
The Lord of the Wanyue Mansion exhaled a long breath and said with a distant gaze: "Even Miss Wen doesn't know anything about this, the only turning point is still in her." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"If even Miss Wen doesn't know the whereabouts of the Nine Corners Order, then in the end, and the most faint hope, can only be pinned on one person, that is, the first person in the red dust industry who is known to coexist with the world - Kyushu Sanren! Since this person appeared three hundred years ago, the only time he appeared in three hundred years was in the Wen Mansion decades ago, and I am afraid that only Miss Wen can be sure of finding him in the world. ”
"How am I going to find her?" asked Qing Tong urgently.
The lord of the Wanyue Mansion silently calculated the time, and said: "Miss Wen is not idle, Wen Wudao will be soon, she will definitely appear, but the rebellion of the True Immortal Blood Stone is about to start, you must go to the Ziwei Emperor City of Chudi before this to meet her." ”
"I'll leave immediately!"
Qingtong was resolute, and he was about to set off when he got up, but the owner of the Wanyue Mansion hurriedly stopped him.
"Wait for me for half a day, I will personally construct the space teleportation spirit array to send you to Chudi, you take advantage of this period to learn all the information that the thirteen places of Kyushu should know as soon as possible, and in the seven-star ancient city, I will allow you to walk as a subordinate of the Wanyue Tower......"
The Lord of the Wanyue Mansion was speechless, and after a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and said, "If necessary, I am allowed to be honest with Miss Wen about my identity and origin to show my sincerity." ”
Qingtong bowed solemnly, looked at the elegant man in white in front of him, and asked again: "Jiuyan is negligent, Uncle Shi, how should I address you now?"
As soon as this question came out, the elegant temperament of the man in white suddenly changed, and a fierce murderous aura with unimaginable bloody killing intent instantly filled the entire Wanyue Tower, as if a person had been changed out of thin air.
The proud voice of the man in white came slowly-
"You can call me - the lord of the waning moon, laugh at the remnant of life!"
......
