Before continuing northward and leaving Cangzhou to enter the territory of Qiaozhou, Xue Yuan and Xiao Luo received a summons from Ming Shenggu.

It is Su Run's soul bird.

According to the news that the two of them had previously sent back to Ming Shenggu, Zhou Yan had tried it with his heart......

They really opened the bracelet that they didn't have a clue about anyway.

Zhou Jia...... Sure enough, just like Tang Ling, it is the guardian family of Qiaozhou Jiujing.

But now, just as Fang Ye is left in the Fang family in Naught Prefecture, the Zhou family in Qiaozhou ...... There is only one Zhou Yan left.

There are not many summons from Su Run's Soul Bird, but ......

Xue Yun could think of the complexity and resentment in Zhou Yan's heart at this time.

By now, Zhou Yan finally knew the real cause of the Zhou family's extermination, and I hope ......

She can let go of some and become the fuse on the bright side, and she blames herself for running away from marriage.

Zhou Yan confirmed the situation of the Zhou family here, but it was impossible to return to Qiaozhou for a while and set foot in the secret land of Jiujing in Qiaozhou, and Xue Yun and Xiao Luo were not able to turn around and return to the Ming Provincial Valley at this time, so they continued to go north to Shahai City, which is located in the northeast of Qiaozhou.

When leaving the border of Cangzhou, whether it was Xue Yun or Xiao Luo, both of them were even more cautious, carefully hiding their whereabouts and identities.

Crossing the border of Cangzhou and continuing to the north not far away, it was the Streamer Grass Mountain Range where they first came when they were looking for Streamer Firefly and more clues about Xue Yu, and it was also in the valley of the Streamer Grass Mountain Range, Xue Yu knew the existence of the two Rao for the first time through the phantom that he couldn't see clearly when Xiao Luo got the Kunwu knife fragment.

Rong Jin, Gu Xi.

It wasn't until not long ago that Xiao Luo touched the masonry of the altar brought out from Zhongzhou by Tian Bubitter in the Ming Province Valley, evoking an illusion, that Xue Yuan knew the names of the two Rao.

Born in the Rong family in Qingzhou, and was the only top force on the Kyushu continent at that time, Rong Jin, who was destroyed by Yuanzhou Yunzong, was in the Yunzong and tried to take revenge when he endured humiliation and tried to take revenge, and met Gu Xi, who also had a grudge against Yunzong, and was probably born in the Gu family in Miaozhou. The two of them helped each other and supported each other in the huge Cloud Sect, little by little from the inconspicuous low-level role to brew strength, and finally with the help of the power of many family sects that also wanted to oppose the Cloud Sect at the time of the curtain, they destroyed the real behemoth Cloud Sect on the Kyushu continent in one fell swoop, and dispersed the haze that had been hanging over the heads of the Kyushu people for many years. Even now, even if the names of these two Rao have not been left in the annals of any family or faction for some reason, the ordinary descendants of Rao who have received great favors in Yuanzhou still have passed down a heroic biography about a pair of heroes who saved Yuanzhou and even the common people.

But...... What happened to these two people, but now Xue Yuan doesn't know.

The only one that only welcomes... On that day, in the valley meeting hall of Ming Province, I saw the figure in the illusion, and the figure of the Zhongzhou altar......

Xue Yuan's heart tightened, and he forced himself not to think about that scene at that time.

"What's wrong?"

At this time, Xue Yuan and Xiao Luo were walking to the edge of the Streamer Grass Mountain Range to rest temporarily, and seeing Xue Yun looking at the depths of the Streamer Grass Mountain Range, Xiao Luo asked out loud.

Xue Yuan came back to her senses, shook her head, and did not bring out the real worries in her heart, but remembered another thing that she suddenly remembered: "Xiao Luo, you ......"

"Huh?"

"What we know now, the Fang family in Naughty Prefecture, the Zhou family in Qiaozhou, and the disaster of exterminating the clan are all related to Jiujing, and those who are destroyed are all the guardian families of Jiujing. Whereas...... I don't know how many years ago Rong Jin and ...... Gu Xi. Gu Xi is mostly related to the Gu family of Miaozhou Jiujing, so the Qingzhou Rong family from which Rong Jin was born ......"

"Rong Jin is not. ”

Xiao Luo's sudden interruption of Xue Yuan's guessing made her slightly stunned, and she turned to look at Xiao Luo, who was also facing the depths of the Streamer Grass Mountain Range: "Are you so sure?"

Xiao Luo retracted his gaze, raised his hand and rubbed the top of Xue Yuan's hair in front of him: "Well, definitely." ”

Xue Yun was puzzled: "Why?"

Xiao Luo let out a sigh: "...... Kunwu Dao will not choose the bloodline of the Jiujing Guardian Family, Rong Jin is the last master of the Kunwu Knife, and the Qingzhou Rong family will never be the Jiujing Guardian Family. ”

Xue Yun raised his eyebrows: "This ...... When did you find out?"

"Not so long ago. Xiao Luo smiled, not looking very concerned: "That's the time, I know Rong Jin and ...... When Gu Xi was named. The more complete the Kunwu Knife became, the more I could perceive some information from each of its fluctuations. What used to be vague is now clearer, which is a good thing. ”

Xue Yun pursed his lips: "...... You have always been, Rong Jin, the last master of the Kunwu Knife. ”

"Well, that's good. ”

"After Rong Jin...... Is that you?"

Xiao Luo looked at Xue Yuan, she had already guessed her concerns in her heart, but she still smiled softly, her palm still rubbing against the top of her hair: "Well, yes." ”

"Between Rong Jin and you, no one else has ever owned a Kunwu sword. ”

"Hmm. ”

"So...... The Kunwu knife was shattered in Rong Jin's hand?"

This time, in the face of Xue Yuan's question, Xiao Luo did not answer as simply as before, he frowned slightly as if he was thinking, and after a while, he slowly shook his head at Xue Yuan: "This...... I don't know. ”

Xue Yun took a deep breath and pulled down Xiao Luo's palm from the top of his head, but he held it tightly in his hand and did not let go: "The wind of the demon clan, the Kunwu knife is an artifact." I think it's very likely that he is real, even if it's not true, even if the Kunwu knife is not an artifact, but we have seen it many times before, even if it is an incomplete Kunwu knife, even if it is only a phantom Kunwu knife, it is still so powerful, and the barrier outside the secret land of Jiujing can be easily broken...... Can make such a kunwu knife shatter into pieces and no longer complete...... And what kind of power?"

Xiao Luo sighed silently, and with his other hand, which was not clenched by Xue Yuan, he pressed Xue Yuan in front of him into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder socket, and whispered comforting to her ear and sideburns: "Don't worry...... We don't know what happened to Rong Jin back then, don't scare yourself for something that hasn't happened yet. Maybe...... Perhaps the shattering of the Kunwu knife was not caused by external forces, but ...... After the death of the master, what about the martyrdom of the spiritual artifact?"

I have to, Xiao Luo mentioned this ...... It is indeed a possibility.

For example, Xue Yuan's own natal weapon, the Xihua Sword, has now faintly given birth to a sword spirit, Xue Yuan knows very well that if there is really a day before the Xihua Sword is broken and damaged, she, the master, unfortunately dies, then even if the Xihua Sword does not self-destruct, it will most likely be sealed in the dust and can no longer be used by people.

If it was true that Chengfeng and hers were before, the Kunwu knife was indeed an artifact, and it was normal that the spirituality was stronger than other magic weapons and treasures......

But......

“...... But Kunwu Dao recognized you as the Lord again......"

Xue Yun was held by Xiao Luo in his arms, and his voice was a little muffled.

Xiao Luo stroked her back with the palm of his hand, and laughed low in her ear: "After so many years, maybe Kunwu Dao feels that the priest's time has been long enough, and ......he is unwilling to continue to be dusty?"

"Or what?"

"You also know, the Kunwu knife is not complete even now, at the beginning it was only a fragment of it that recognized me as the master, and the power was so small that it couldn't even turn into a knife shape at the earliest. It may also be that the spiritual consciousness of the Kunwu Dao scattered into fragments is not complete, and it is a little hazy and vague, so it ignores a lot of previous things, and after recognizing the new master...... I want to be whole again after the fragments are reencountered, but after all, there are already fragments that have already recognized their owners, and there is no way for other fragments?"

Xue Yuan was silent for a while and opened his mouth.

To be honest, although Xiao Luo is guessing, it sounds quite reasonable.

At least Xue Yun was not as flustered as before after hearing this.

But......

“...... You're guessing, too. ”

Xiao Luo laughed when he heard this: "I think it makes sense......! Although I am now the owner of the Kunwu Knife, every time I use the Kunwu Knife, it is not so smooth, and I will be injured by the backlash if I am not careful...... Is it also possible that it's because I, the master, actually don't recognize Kunwu Dao so well...... Well...... Would you like to?"

Xue Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the haze in his heart did spread a lot.

She leaned silently in Xiao Luo's arms for a while, before slowly getting up and retreating, turning to look at the Streamer Grass Mountain Range behind her.

Xiao Luo's gaze also fell into the distance, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "...... Want to go in and see it again?"

“...... Sort of. Xue Yun did not deny it: "Although there should be nothing special about it before we left at that time, and the vibration of the so-called 'Spirit Treasure Birth' in the Flowing Light Grass Mountain Range at that time was because of that valley, we all knew it, but ......"

"Still, you're a little concerned about why the Origin Power is there. ”

There is no Nine Wells Secret Land in the Streamer Grass Mountain Range, and Xue Yuan's origin power is not obtained from the Nine Wells Core of the Nine Wells Secret Land at all, and what they still can't figure out in the entire Streamer Grass Mountain Range is the cause of the isolation state of communication and teleportation after the instant shock at that time, as well as the origin of the golden origin power.

Xue Yun nodded, then sighed and shook his head: "Although I was in a fluke, or just in case, I did want to go in again to check if there were any details that we had missed before, but...... The Streamer Grass Mountain Range, especially the place in the depths that was once the center of turmoil, was once blocked by the Feng family, and even now, we don't know if the Feng family still has eyeliner inside. This trip is for Shahai City, before going to Shahai City to find any clues...... For other things, don't be easy to startle the snake. ”

Xiao Luo didn't have anything, turned his head and looked away from the depths of the Streamer Grass Mountain Range, and turned to the north.

"Sioux Town in front...... Let's go around too. ”

“...... Well. ”

The situation in Su Zhen is the same as in the depths of the Streamer Grass Mountain Range, which has been taken over by the Feng family.

Even......

If it was true as Xue Yu had guessed before, the Blood Sacrifice Soul Formation that Qishan Hui had laid down in Su Zhen was from the Feng family, then in order to erase the traces, perhaps the Feng family's effort on Su Zhen's side was not much less than the unknown in the depths of the Flowing Light Grass Mountain Range. At this time, it is better for them to avoid some.

After agreeing, the two did not stay here any longer and continued their journey north.

However, instead of going directly north, they traveled a little further east, far away from the area of Sioux Town where they had been, and then headed north.

On the way, Xue Yuan glanced back in the direction of Su Zhen, and then looked in the direction of central Qiaozhou from a distance.

Deep in the valley of the Streamer Grass Mountains, Su Town, the place where the Zhou family used to be located in the middle of Qiaozhou.

These are all things that Xue Yuan actually cares about in his heart.

Perhaps, when they come back from Shahai City, if there is a chance......

Shahai City is located in the northeast of Qiaozhou, and there are not many large cities nearby, but there are many villages and towns of some scale. There are few monks close to Shahai City, but the traces of the lives of ordinary people who do not practice are getting heavier and heavier, and there is a bit of a simple and lively fireworks. Perhaps because it is not those towering cities, there are no towering city walls, and the atmosphere of the towns and surrounding villages is much more lively.

This is the first time Xue Yuan has set foot in the northeast of Qiaozhou, and he looked at the people and scenery around him along the way, and he was quite emotional.

Because here...... It's not like many other places.

In the entire Kyushu Continent, the gap between ordinary people and monks is like a trench, and the vast majority of monks, even if they are casual cultivators with no identity background, often have a sense of arrogance when facing ordinary people who cannot practice, and ordinary people are also afraid and habitually respectful when facing the "immortal masters" in their eyes.

This feeling is especially obvious in Zhongzhou, and it will be much better in Miaozhou, a place secretly controlled by the demon clan, but ......

Now it seems that it is not as good as the northeast of Qiaozhou.

There are many other places in Qiaozhou, Xue Yuan has not been to, so it is not easy to comment, and the original Su Zhen, Qishanhui and others with ulterior motives are not easy to use as a reference, but at least here, the northeast of Qiaozhou, which is close to Shahai City, is really a different scene compared to other places in the Kyushu mainland.

When many ordinary people here found out that Xue Yun and Xiao Luo were monks, although many of them had some scruples, there were also a lot, and when they found that the two monks did not have any arrogance and showed approachability, they were very able to let go, get along as usual, and there was no obstacle to meeting one or two people with lively temperaments, laughing and chatting, and even occasionally making jokes.

The northeast of Qiaozhou is somewhat remote, and there are few foreign monks walking, most of them are native monks, either belonging to Shahai City or belonging to some scattered families, although most of them have not even heard of it in other places in Kyushu, but it is also well-known in the northeast of Qiaozhou. These monks also gave Xue Yun and Xiao Luo a different feeling, just like the ordinary people here who are not afraid of monks, the monks get along with ordinary Rao very peacefully, Xue Yun and Xiao Luo once met a Jindan monk who hooked up with ordinary people in a wine shop.

Over here......

The atmosphere was gentle and beautiful, which made Xue Yun even a little trance-like.

"Shahai City ......" Xue Yuan looked at the distance where Shahai City was located, his eyes were full of emotion and expectation: "It's really a special place." ”
