Chapter 324: Shocking Change (Final)
Master?
Ye Chen was also stunned.
The female ghost in red saw that his face was confused, and said hurriedly: "Master, I'm a dream basket, little basket!" β
Everyone was amazed to find that her voice had changed. Originally, her voice was either seductive or vicious, which made people feel very uncomfortable to hear. At this time, it was a pleasant and soft voice, which was very unworthy of her hideous appearance.
"Mother's ......" Drinking Qiufeng heard that it was really his mother's voice, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"My child......" The female ghost also wanted to hug him into her arms, and the mother and son were about to hug their heads and cry, but their hands passed through the mother's body with the autumn wind, and they couldn't help but be even more sad.
Ye Chen also exclaimed: "Are you a little basket?" β
The past comes to mind in an instant.
β¦β¦
On that day, he passed by a fairy mountain, and before he landed, he heard the painful cry of a girl faintly coming from the mountain. He hurriedly followed the crying sword to find it, but just as he saw two immortal disciples beating a skinny girl, if he continued to fight, the girl would definitely die.
Chen's sword was unsheathed, and he immediately blocked the long whip waving in the hands of the two.
"You, who are you, this is our business, you don't ...... nosy" The courage that one of the Immortal Sect disciples had finally mustered up dissipated instantly when he saw Ye Chen's cold eyes.
"No one has the right to take the lives of others lightly." Ye Chen held the sword in his hand and said coldly.
The girl looked up at him.
"The head of the family kindly took her in, but this dead girl killed many rare beasts raised by the head of the house."
Ye Chen looked at the girl and saw that her eyes were as frightened as a wounded fawn, and he said to her, "I know that you are not vicious by nature. Will you come with me? β
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, and she nodded like pounded garlic.
So, he took her Edgeworth and left.
He only asked her name, and when he knew that her name was Mengluo, he called her Xiaoluo. Anything else, but no more questions were asked. Over the next three months, they walked a lot together, experienced a lot of things, and helped many people. In his spare time, he taught her to practice magic, which he said would give her the ability to protect herself from being bullied. She called him Master, but he didn't answer, and sometimes he didn't even answer, so she continued to shout timidly over and over again behind him, Master......
One day three months later, Ye Chen felt that her ability was sufficient to protect herself, so she quietly left.
β¦β¦
After listening to Ye Chen's narration, everyone felt very incredible. The years turn and the old man meets the old man, but he has long been unrecognizable, and he doesn't know each other. So, what happened in the years that followed? What kind of changes happened in this Lanzhi Valley?
Seeing that everyone was not paying attention, Drinking Frost and Cold was lying on the ground, wanting to slip away quietly, but Ye Chen stretched out his hand and lifted him to the female ghost in red, saying, "Why rush to leave, how about listening together?" β
Drinking frost and cold face is timid, but only promised.
The female ghost in red didn't look at him, as if she was timid and shy when she returned to Xiao Luo, and said softly: "Later, I tried to find Master, so I traveled to many immortal sects all over the world, but I didn't find any trace of Master...... A **** came to this Lanzhi Valley, and didn't want to fall in love with this frost and cold. At that time, I was young and ignorant of the world, and I felt that I couldn't dig out my heart and lungs to him when he said a few words. Although he and I have cultivated together, he has always refused to give me a title, and there are always various reasons to prevaricate, so I only live under him as a female disciple......"
Drinking Qiufeng and the rest of the Lan Zhigu disciples were surprised, it turned out that there was still this past, and the head of the sect was always in one place with the female disciples. Drinking frost and cold, his face was blood-red, and he hated to bury his head in the crotch of his pants.
Mengluo continued: "I have tasted Master's guidance, but cultivation is better than drinking frost and cold. He loved face, and he finally confessed to everyone that I was his wife, and after that, I gave birth to my first child, the autumn wind, and sent him into the heavens of Luojia......"
Meng Luo burst into tears and said, "When I left the mountain gate with Drink Shuanghan half a year ago, I was already five months pregnant......
Drinking Qiufeng's voice trembled: "What about the child? Is it a younger brother, or is it a younger sister? β
Mengluo cried: "It's a pair of twin boys, but they're no longer there......"
"How?" Drinking the autumn wind fell and sat on the ground. The rest of the people also felt infinitely sad.
Mengluo cried: "Half a year ago, Drinking Frost and Cold suddenly changed his face, and he was very cold to me, and he didn't see anyone all day long. At this time, I found out that there was an unknown woman of unknown origin on the mountain, who was tired of being with him all day long, and was commensurate with his master and apprentice. I felt that something was wrong, and I secretly observed, but I found that the woman was actually an evil immortal, and that day I heard about their unsightly deeds, but they wanted to take the hearts and livers of the disciples on the mountain into medicine! β
"What ......" everyone present trembled.
"Mother's ......" Drinking Qiufeng couldn't help crying bitterly, "Then Siqi and their people who disappeared in vain were also arrested by them and took out their hearts and livers to refine medicine?" "No wonder, no wonder, even if it is a temptation to drink frost and cold, how can the disciples be wary and even resist. And there is no one who knows the structure of Rusu Mountain better than the head Rusu, who can easily avoid the many levels and precautions he has laid down, and there is no trace left.
Mengluo closed his eyes, instantly shed tears, and only nodded in pain.
For a while, there were cries on the field, as if the intestines were broken. Drinking Qiufeng suddenly raised his hand and was about to sweep towards Rusumian, but Cheng Yao lightly grabbed his wrist, "Let your mother finish talking first." β
Meng Luo opened his eyes and continued to sob, "I suddenly heard about it, so I fought with them, and I didn't want to move the fetus. In order to save the fetus in my womb, I had to stop for a while, and let them take me to a barren mountain and imprison me in a forbidden cave. I knew that they were harming the disciples of the sect, but there was nothing I could do, so I could only endure the pain in my heart until I gave birth to a full-term term, and finally gave birth to a pair of twin boys......"
Between the words, tears crept all over her face at some point.
The crowd did not urge, but waited for her to continue: "However, I have not yet had time to choose a name for my two children...... They snatched my baby while I was out of production, and the woman also shook off the immortal veins around me and scratched my face...... Rusu just watched coldly from the sidelines, and then left with the woman...... I rolled out of bed in severe pain, and perhaps they thought that I was no longer in trouble, and did not set any more restrictions, and I crawled step by step into their house, and the blood stained the road I had passed, and finally pushed open their door, only to see a scene that broke my liver and heart......"
Drinking the autumn wind has been paralyzed on the ground, and he doesn't want to listen to it anymore.
Cheng Yao gently patted him on the back to help him stabilize his mind.
"Pity my born child, before he could drink a sip of his mother's milk, they tore off the skin and flesh little by little, crushed it like a medicinal herb and threw it into the medicine pod for refining, and on the side, there was another small skeleton, on which there was still untorn flesh and blood...... "The voice choked, and he couldn't say any more.
Such a scene, even if you imagine it, you already feel shocked and miserable, but I don't know how to face such a tragedy as a mother.
Qing Huan covered her mouth in disbelief. I only heard Cheng Yao can't help but whisper: "There is such a ruthless father in the world......"
Ye Chen pressed his hand on Mengluo's trembling shoulder.
After a long time, Meng Luo continued to sob: "I knew that I was not defeated by them, so I crawled back into the room, but they did not chase after them. At this time, my immortal veins are broken, and it is difficult to condense the immortal power, but there is only one thought in my heart, I must avenge my children. In desperation, I put on a red dress and committed suicide by hanging a beam in the middle of the night, with a bronze bell hanging on my foot. Even if they can't live forever, I must let them die! Today, the seventh day of my death, the night of my resurrection, I must tear off their flesh and skin, boil them all into minced meat and drink them! ......" said with a fierce look on his face.
"Little basket." Ye Chen suddenly stopped her by drinking.
The cold voice like ice and snow made Meng Luo come back to his senses, and he murmured: "Master......"
For a while, there was silence above the peaks, only the mountain wind swept by. Drinking frost and cold had also fallen to the ground without any sound, and everyone looked closely, because he had bitten his tongue and killed himself.
Ye Chen suddenly raised his finger and poked at the center of Mengluo's eyebrows.
The blue light flowed, the hideous and terrifying cheeks gradually returned to their original smooth appearance, and the long withered and messy hair regained its former luster, which was actually the appearance of her best time.
"Master, why bother to compromise your cultivation to ......"
Ye Chen signaled that she didn't need to say much, and said softly: "Xiao Luo, if I hadn't left by myself back then, or explained to you, maybe those things wouldn't have happened to you later." But after ten years, even if you can restore your appearance, you can't get your life back after all......"
"Master......" Mengluo sat on the ground and cried bitterly.
Ye Chen patted her vest, only to feel sadness in his heart, and finally held back the pain and said: "In this way, it can dissolve your anger, so that you don't have to live forever." Forget about the unhappiness of this life, reincarnate and go to the next life, and be a beautiful girl and find a good person......"
In his sigh-like words, the figure of the woman in red gradually blurred and dissipated.
But several bright lights suddenly fell from the sky.
Qing Huan only felt a headache, and when he opened his eyes again, he was located in the deep sea, the sea was vast, but there was no one around.
She hurriedly pinched the trick of resisting water, only to see a majestic temple at the bottom of the deep sea, sleeping silently.
Qing Huan was shocked in her heart, she never imagined that she could see this wonder in this deep sea. Carefully gaze, identify the main entrance of the palace, slowly lower down, and land in front of the main entrance of the palace. I didn't even think deeply about how I was here all of a sudden, and there have been too many strange things happening recently.
But I saw a huge bronze gate blocking in front of me, and a shadow extended from each side, like a monster's giant horn. If you look closely, it was originally two wall lamps, but I don't know how long it has been extinguished. Qing Huan was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what the significance of this wall lamp was built on the bottom of the sea. With a flick of his fingertips, he jumped a few fire spirits, and actually lit the two wall lamps to illuminate a corner of the sea that was originally dark. If the sea is alive, it retreats from the lamp, leaving a place for the flame in the lamp to stretch.
The firelight suddenly brightened, but Qing Huan was suddenly startled, because as far as the eye could see, where the light and darkness met, two figures were lying on their backs, prostrate on both sides of the bronze door.
However, just at the second glance, Qing Huan secretly blamed himself for being like a frightened bird. It was just two stone figures, but for some reason they were placed here.
After looking carefully, I saw that around this palace, I couldn't even see half of the underwater creatures, but the bronze gate had been soaked in the bottom of the sea for a long time, and it looked very old. In addition, there is no rust on the door knocker, and the patterns on the door are intricate and grand, all of which show the solemnity of this place.
But under the tile, there is not a single plaque to be found.
Qing Huan was surprised that this place was unusually clean, and reached out to touch the lines on the palace door.
And I don't know if this door is just a cover-up, or what, with her touch, it slowly opened a gap.
Qing Huan pressed his heart and thumped, gently pushed the door open, and walked in. And as soon as she entered, the door closed on its own.
Inside and outside the door, it seems like two worlds.
In the deep corridor, there is not a drop of water, only the top is inlaid with countless night pearls the size of chicken eggs, shining this heaven and earth as if it were day.
Qing Huan walked in slowly, but saw that there were many stone men and stone horses standing on both sides of the road, like guards guarding this place.
After a few more steps, the eyes suddenly opened up, but at the end of the road, an empty hall connected with it. A large throne was placed at the head of the temple, as if an invisible emperor was sitting on it, waiting to be worshipped by all the peoples.
And he was worshiped by countless stone men in front of the temple.
The star map made of the night pearl at the top of the hall illuminates the hall in detail.
It is not like the two stone statues outside the hall are dull, the stone people here are kneeling or standing, their expressions and movements are lifelike, and they are full of piety. If they don't look like they're stones, they're almost going to be mistaken for living people.
Qing Huan couldn't help but stretch out his hand, about to touch one of the faces that seemed to be real people.
But at this time, a young and anxious voice suddenly came from the hall-
"Don't touch it!"
Qing Huan was taken aback, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and got up to look at who was talking, but she looked around, but she didn't see anyone.
Just as she was about to wonder if it was a stone man who was speaking, she heard another slightly rougher voice say, "Who is this?" How do I feel like she has the breath of a big prince in her? β
"Nonsense. It's obviously the second son. β
"If you don't change your mind, be careful that you will be beaten if you are heard!"
"You two, shut up! The man came over! β
"People? Is it a living person?! β
"It's like ......"
"Shh......h
Then there was no sound in the palace.
But Qing Huan heard it clearly, the direction from which this gossiping voice came was behind the throne.
It was as if there were four different voices that spoke, but although the throne was large, it was not easy for even a child to hide four people. Seeing that the other party suddenly stopped talking, Qing Huan deliberately lightened his steps, crept onto the throne, and then lay on the back of the chair and looked down.
Suddenly, the four puppies stared at each other and looked at each other.
When the four puppies saw her, one of them immediately exclaimed, "Oops! It's been discovered! It was the sound of her not touching the stone statues.
Qing Huan was shocked: "What if you are discovered, why are you here?" What is this place? β
The four ignored her, and only the other raised its front paws to cover its mouth, shouting, "Oops! We can't talk to strangers! β
Another quickly raised its claws and patted its head, saying, "She has the breath of the eldest son and the second son, and she is not a stranger!" β
The one that had not spoken slapped it again and said, "Stupid! I've been talking to you for more than 800 years, I want to change my words, I want to change my words! β
Seeing that they were only concerned about their own commotion, Qing Huan walked lightly to the throne, sat down on his knees beside them, and asked cautiously, "May I interrupt, who are the eldest and second princes you just said?" β
Immediately, the four fell silent. Until the other one suddenly panicked and covered his mouth and said, "Can't say it, can't say it!" The eldest prince said that no one is allowed to mention that name in the future! β
Qing Huan let out a long "oh" and sighed: "It's so mysterious...... What about the second son? β
The other said: "Second son, it's called Ethereal Flame." You...... Do you know each other? β
The other shouted: "You can't call the second son!" You have to call your lord! Otherwise, if you are heard, you will be hanged! β
Qing Huan smiled: "Apart from the five of us, are there any other living people here?" Who will hang you? β
The one who had just spoken immediately raised his paw in front of his mouth and said, "Shh...... Childe-sama's ability is very great, and Childe-sama often comes here to visit the king......"
"Come here, look at your lord......" Qing Huan suddenly felt palpitations, "What do you mean, is the king and he, and he is still in this place?" β
"Yes, your lord has been there."
"He's here...... What for? Qing Huan asked cautiously. She really couldn't think of what she was doing by staying at the bottom of the sea all year round.
"Childe-sama said, the king is sleeping!"
"Sleep?!" Qing Huan's heart jumped, and another meaning of sleep was ......
Qing Huan decided to start with the simplest question: "What are the names of the four of you?" Why do you all look exactly the same? β
"Because we're quadruplets brothers, I'm ** flower!"
"My name is Qiu Yue!"
"My name is When!"
"I called!"
Qing Huan looked at the puppy named "yes" with sympathy, that is, the one with the most immature voice, and said, "You are so pitiful." β
blinked a few times and said, "Why?" β
Qing Huan suddenly didn't know how to explain to it.
He said proudly: "This is the name given to us by the eldest prince, they are all two words, just me is one word, I think it's cool, what do you think?" β
Qing Huan smiled, "It's pretty cool." β
When I looked at her, the look in her eyes was immediately different.
Qing Huan struck while the iron was hot: "The king is on him...... Slept for a long time? β
"That's right." When he said, "The king has been sleeping for almost eight hundred years. β
These four look exactly the same, Qing Huan can only distinguish the most immature by her voice, and the most rugged is when, spring flowers and autumn moons, but she can't tell the difference.
The four puppies whispered for a while, still discussing whether she was an old acquaintance of their family.
I only heard Chunhua or Qiuyue say, "Do you want to go with us to meet him?" β
This move was in Qinghuan's arms, and he immediately agreed: "Okay." β
The four puppies flapped their big ears one after another and flew into the air.
Qing Huanwang's great awakening, this way of flying is even easier than Ami, and it is really not an ordinary mortal species. She suddenly remembered a question and asked, "Just now, why didn't you let me touch those stone statues?" β
He flapped his big ears and flew to her side, saying, "Because when you touch them, they will break." β
"Why?" Qing Huan was surprised, "If it's a stone statue, how can it shatter when you touch it?" β
When he replied, "For they are all made of living people, and have been stones for nearly eight hundred years, and when they are touched by a living person, they will immediately turn into powder." β
Qing Huan was frightened and said, "Who turned them into stones?" β
"It's Childe-sama."
"Childe...... "Who is he, isn't it the eldest son and the second son you said?" β
"Not really!" replied, "The eldest son is the eldest son, the second son is the second son, and the son is the son!" β
"These people are all willing to serve the king here, waiting for the king to wake up."
Chunhua or Qiuyue said: "As soon as the second son comes back, they will turn back into people." Like us, they are the most loyal servants of the second son. β
"Stupid! It's not the second son, it's the king! I don't know if it's the autumn moon or the spring flower, I raised my huge ears and slapped the other one's head hard. The other one was in pain, fanned his ears a few times, and flew forward with a hum.
Behind the main hall, there is still a deep and narrow corridor. However, there are only a few braziers burning on both sides of the corridor, which shows endless peace and tranquility compared to the magnificence of the front hall.
The four puppies flew in a neat line, crossed the corridor one after another, fell to the ground in unison, and walked in respectfully.
Qing Huan entered with it, but felt that it was a stone room that was a little smaller than the front hall.
said: "Lord Gongzi usually doesn't allow us to go in and disturb the second son, oh no, it's the king!" Anyway, go in by yourself, and after you meet the king, see if you know him, and come out quickly. β
"Okay." Qing Huan responded, and cautiously went to the middle of the stone room, raising his eyes and looking around as he walked. However, it is clear at a glance that the interior is not very gorgeous, but it is extraordinarily elegant, showing the intentions of the arranger everywhere. The dark colors of the surroundings create a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
In the middle of the stone room, a flat table is slightly higher than the other place, surrounded by a gauze tent bead curtain, covering the description inside, and only a stone couch can be faintly seen.
Qing Huan's hands trembled slightly, and he opened the curtain and entered, but he saw a blood-red figure, as bright as new, sleeping on the couch.
This mysterious building under the deep sea is not a palace, but a mausoleum.
The face of the man in red is covered with gold, and it is difficult to see the true face. But just one glance, she felt her heart jumping, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
The golden mask was finally removed.
The face under the cover of the golden face is so beautiful that it wants to turn all beings upside down, but it is also unforgettable and familiar.
Although there is a little more cinnabar like a flame in the center of his eyebrows, but such a face, who is it not Yun Xiao?
Qing Huan was stunned, and the golden face slipped silently from her hand. At this moment, I only heard the spring flowers and autumn moon, and the four puppies barked in panic not far away-
"Oh no!"
"Come out, Childe-sama is here!"
After Qing Huan was stunned in his heart, he gradually calmed down, carefully recalling the fragmentary words of the four puppies, although the person on the couch had the same appearance as Yun Xiao, it was definitely not Yun Xiao himself. As for what kind of entanglements there are, I have another consideration. At this time, when I heard them calling in a hurry, I thought that the prince was not an ordinary person, and it was easy to provoke, so he hurriedly withdrew and said, "Then what should I do now?" β
said: "It's too late, find a place to hide!" β
With that, the four puppies galloped towards the stone room.
In a hurry, Qing Huan raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that there was a wide stone table that could be hidden. As soon as Fang hid it, he heard a sound of footsteps, and he was entering the stone chamber in a hurry, but after a while, there was no sound.
After not seeing movement for a long time, Qing Huan looked through the gap, but saw a person in white clothes and black hair, standing next to the stone couch. Although he was facing her sideways, but her long hair was draped, she could not see his face, and could only see that he was holding something in his hand, caressing it in his palm as if he cherished it.
Qing Huan woke up in shock and secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. In a hurry, she only hid, and did not give the golden face back to the man in red.
At this time, I only heard the man on the side of the stone couch say, "Since you are here, why do you want to hide? β
Qing Huan came out from behind the stone table, and was immediately shocked.
Childe-sama.
A familiar name, but I don't want to see it with my own eyes, but I really know it.
Gongziqing.
Gongziqing glanced at Qing Huan with a smile, and only put the gold mask back on the face of the red-clothed person, and his movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person. When the action was finished, he lifted the curtain and walked out.
A violent tremor struck, as if the sea was shaking, and the whole palace was about to collapse.
Gongziqing's face changed slightly, and in an instant, he saw all the immortals in the Three Gods Heaven, as well as Cheng Yao, Yun Xiao and others all appeared in the palace. Immediately, the light and shadow on all sides changed rapidly, and it was still the scene in Lanzhi Valley, but the immortals were already holding swords in their hands, and they surrounded Gongziqing.
"Sure enough, it's you, it's been a long time, Houqing." Donghuang Xiang Road.
Houqing!
The head of the Seven Demon Generals, Hou Qing!
"First create a netherworld illusion with the heart of the demon emperor, and then go to the underworld to get the help of the underworld, and then lay this interlocking trap to lure me out, the Eastern Emperor Immortal Venerable is really a good plan." Gongziqing sneered.
"Don't talk too much!" Beiqunman said, "Three thousand years ago, you were lucky enough to escape with your life, and today I want you to be ambushed!" β
The words fell, the wind rose, and all the immortals formed a chain array, their postures leaped into the air, their palms against each other, and their strength was intertwined, accompanied by the convergence of their life's strength, and their strength was like the wrath of heaven!
Who said that human beings are only the same as ants, and the anger of all immortals can also slay demons!
Like the nine stars burning the sun, the most extreme dazzling light between heaven and earth, full of the power of destroying the heavens and the earth, rushed towards the white clothes in the dark night.
The white robe has also moved. Leng Su eyebrows, four sleeves flying, as soon as he makes a move, it is a killer move!
A brighter brilliance, carrying supreme prestige, swooped straight for the devastating blow sent by the immortals. The two collided, but instead of breaking out at the time of the encounter, the brightest fire devoured the power of the immortals, pressing directly on the Lanzhi Valley, destroying the heavens and the earth!
Half of Lan Zhi Valley was hit by the full force of this immortal and demon's battle, and it was bombarded!
Gongziqing finally took half a step back, and vermilion overflowed from his mouth.
"I'm still going to ...... Again. β
After finishing the sentence, the fluorescent light around his body flashed and quickly disappeared.
"This heavy blow can ensure the peace of my immortal world for three thousand years." There is no way to hide each other.
As for the matter of the Demon Lord, no one mentioned it again.
That person, will it really become an ethereal flame?
But at least for now, he's not.
A few months later.
Meicheng.
Qing Huan handed a green plum blossom that fell with the wind to Cheng Yao.
Cheng Yao took it, clasped her fingertips, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
-----------
Tatsumon:
Ye Chen had a dream.
In the dream, he went back to the year he was eighteen years old.
It's just that that year, nothing good happened.
In the autumn, his master Ye Zhi died, dying in the autumn frost.
Master's daughter, Ye Chen's little junior sister - Ye Ling, is seventeen years old.
Ye Chen is an orphan raised by his master. Since he was a child, he has lived in seclusion with his master and sister in Baiju Mountain, which is covered with large bamboo forests. He and his sister often practice swords in the bamboo forest. The three of them depend on each other, but they are also harmonious, the master treats him like a parent, and he also loves his little sister very much.
But now, Master is dead.
When people get old, they always have to die. This is a fate that no one can escape, and neither does Master.
But Ye Chen was very sad.
Because Ye Zhi is an immortal, he didn't need to die. But he drank himself to death.
He is a good martial artist and a better wine, as if he wants to use strong wine to wash away his sorrows.
In short, Ye Zhi finally went early, leaving them only three houses and a tomb.
And Ye Ling is even sadder than Ye Chen.
Maybe the tear ducts of girls are always particularly developed, and after burying Ye Zhi, Ye Ling stayed in front of the master's grave and cried for seven days in the bamboo house where they lived, during which he fainted several times.
Seven days later, she finally made up her mind not to cry again. Because no matter how much she cried, her father would not come back. So she said to her senior brother Ye Chen, "Let's go down the mountain." β
Ye Chen didn't ask why, nor did he say no.
The two of them packed their belongingsβin fact, just a few changes of clothes and two swords, and went down the mountain.
They wander aimlessly through the nations.
In fact, Ye Chen was also very sad in his heart, but what was more important than being sad was taking care of his junior sister.
In the blink of an eye, it is spring of the following year.
In the time of traveling for half a year, there was no need to touch the scene anymore, Ye Ling's mood was finally much better. And the two were pleasantly surprised to find that their skills were not bad, and it was in vain that they had practiced in the bamboo forest for so many years.
The two discussed: It seems that they can go to the big city to see the world.
Both of them yearn for a place - the imperial capital of Cangguo, Starlight.
On this day, they trekked through mountains and rivers and finally reached the southern outskirts of Starlight City.
Before entering the city, Ye Ling's mind was already photographed by the beautiful scenery.
In front of you is an endless green field, with no steep rocks or vicious beasts. Yes, just soft grass, fragrant flowers everywhere, and trickling water.
"Senior brother, the scenery here is so beautiful!"
"yes, yes."
"Haha, senior brother, look, do I look good wearing this flower?"
"It's good-looking," Ye Chen looked at Ye Ling's bright eyes, "Ah Ling looks good in everything." β
"Senior brother, come here."
"Okay."
"Senior brother, look, there seems to be a person barbecuing meat over there."
"Well, does A-Ning want to eat?"
"yes, I think."
"Pheasants and hares can be caught, but we don't have flint or fire spirits."
"Then I'll ask the guy to borrow it."
"A-Ning......" Before Ye Chen finished speaking, Ye Ling had already taken a brisk step.
Well, even if it's been out for half a year, his junior sister has never learned to be more careful when he goes out, and he can't easily talk to strangers.
"Hero, oh no, brother, no, hey, anyway, this friend." Ye Ling said to the man who was eating meat, "Can you borrow a fire?" β
Ye Chen was sweating behind her, did she learn these titles from the master's book hidden in the room.
The man who ate the meat did not look up, but focused on the rabbit leg in his hand: "Okay, you can take it, you don't have to return it." β
ββ¦β¦β
"What's wrong?"
"I'm waiting for you to give me the flint."
"I don't have a flint." The man had a strange expression on his face.
"Ah, how did you start this fire?" Ye Ling was even more surprised.
"Drill wood to make fire." The man finally looked up, smiling and revealing his snow-white teeth.
Hara was also a young man.
Ye Chen couldn't help but say angrily: "If the son refuses to borrow it, forget it, why deliberately laugh." β
The young man suddenly shouted that he was wronged: "I really didn't lie to you, hey, but you two are really funny, I am dressed like this, and you still call me a hero, brother, son......" Ye Chen looked at him, only to see that he was dressed in tatters, and his face was like a cat.
Ye Lingqi said: "Then what else do we call you?" β
The young man took the last bite of rabbit meat: "My name is Gong Yao, you can call me Xiao Yao." β
"Okay, Xiaoyao." Ye Ling smiled, "The rabbit meat you roasted is really fragrant." β
"Haha, incense." Gong Yao smiled, "You just asked me to borrow flint, do you also want to barbecue meat?" The rabbit meat here is particularly fragrant. β
Ye Ling nodded.
Gong Yao said: "It's a pity that I really didn't bring flint. In this way, I will take you to the bosom friend building in the city to eat rabbit meat! It's not as good as my baked one, but it tastes pretty good! β
"Thank you, Yao!"
"Haha, you're welcome, I'm the one who loves to make friends the most, what's your name?"
"My name is Ye Ling."
"What about him?"
"Oh, he's my senior brother, Ye Chen......"
Ye Ling and Gong Yao walked towards the city with a smile, if it weren't for the sudden mention of their names, Ye Chen would have thought that he had been forgotten. can only follow behind the two, and his hands are still secretly on guard.
Walking into Changge City, Ye Chen knew how to write the word "prosperous". And what surprised him even more was the bosom friend building.
At the door of the bosom friend building, Ye Chen quietly weighed his money bag twice, and then grabbed the two people who had already stepped into the building with one foot.
"What?"
"What's the matter, senior brother?"
Both looked at him suspiciously.
Ye Chen said softly: "The money is not enough. β
Who wants Gong Yao smiled and said: "Count me, count it all mine, just eat." With that, he and Ye Ling walked into the building.
Ye Chen looked at him dressed like a beggar, and he was really afraid that he would be blasted out by the shopkeepers in the next moment. When the time comes, he can slap his ass and slip away, and what can he do with the two brothers and sisters.
Who knew that from the shopkeeper to the second child, when he saw Gong Yaoju nodding his head, he seemed to be eager to put a lifetime of smiles on his face at once.
"Why are they so polite to you?"
Gong Yao raised his head from a table of dishes: "Because I am the prince." β
"Huh."
"Poof."
Ye Chen and Ye Ling were almost choked by the tea, and the other directly squirted out a small sip of tea.
Gong Yao sighed: "I knew you would be so surprised, don't be surprised, look at these people, they are all used to it." β
Ye Chen smiled and said, "You are the prince?" β
"yes, you don't believe me?"
"I don't believe it."
"Don't believe it." Gong Yao's face was full of indifference, "Anyway, I don't want to be a prince." β
"But why is the prince like you?" Ye Ling looked at him with a serious face.
"Which look?"
"Dressed like Hanako, still in the wild...... Drill wood for fire? Roast rabbit ......"
"What is this......" Gong Yao scratched his head, "Who stipulates that the prince can't be like this, besides, I'm also here to experience life......"
Full of wine and food, Gong Yao said to the shopkeeper: "Record it in the account and ask my family for it." β
The shopkeeper is busy, and he doesn't dare to dare.
Ye Chen and Ye Ling looked at each other.
But no matter what, Gong Yao still invited the two to have a full meal, which was really a great kindness to the two who were extremely financially poor.
Next, Gong Yao took the two of them to the ready-to-wear store in the same way, Ye Ling was happy with the beautiful clothes, and Ye Chen was forced to change into a new dress. And when Gong Yao came out of the inner room to change his clothes and wash his face, Ye Chen and Ye Ling almost believed that he was indeed a prince. After chatting a few times, not only Ye Ling was very speculative with him, but Ye Chen also gradually had a good impression of this prince with a strange personality.
By the Bishui River, Gong Yao sat on the white jade railing and shook his legs, and Ye Ling also sat like him.
"Where are you going next?" Gong Yao asked them.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Ye Ling replied honestly.
"I didn't think about it...... Gong Yao said with a smile, "Then why don't you come with me?" β
"Where are you going?"
"I have a great ideal!" Gong Yao jumped down from the railing, crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed to the starry sky above his head with the other, "I'm going to visit the world's number one sword-casting master, Night Star Cold!" β
Nine months later, they finally found the legendary Night Star Cold in a snowy col.
Night Star Han looked surprised to see three uninvited guests like snowmen, and they were even more surprised than him.
"You're Night Star?"
"That's right."
"Is it the world's number one swordsmith, Night Star Han?"
"It seems to be shouting like that."
Gong Yao's face was full of incredulity, this guy who was about the same age as himself turned out to be the sword-forging master he had in mind?!
And soon, he believed.
Because I saw the sword forged by the night star.
And what I didn't expect was that Ye Xinghan was not only surprising in age, but also amazing in his shelf.
That is, there is no shelf.
Gong Yao always felt that a world-famous master like this, even if he didn't look mysterious and unfathomable all day long, he should be arrogant and look at people with his nostrils and disdain most things, otherwise he should put on a master's posture and ignore people.
If a person becomes famous at a young age, it is even more.
But the night stars are cold...... This person is simply a wonder.
When he saw the three of them coming, he not only showed great enthusiasm, but also took care of the three of them as if they were a family.
And Ye Chen also knew for the first time what it meant to be "familiar at first sight".
By the time the snow melted on the mountain and the mountain flowers spread all over the mountains again, Night Star Han had already become friends with the three of them. Gong Yao shouted that he wanted to bow down, and Ye Xinghan and Ye Chen naturally readily agreed. Ye Ling was excluded by the three because she was a girl.
In fact, not allowing Ye Ling to participate in the worship, Ye Chen was also selfish.
Because he hopes that one day Ye Ling will be able to marry Ye Xinghan or Gong Yao, then he, as a senior brother, can rest assured.
So, a bouquet of fragrance, a pot of turbid wine, three high-spirited young people faced the sun and the moon, blood for the alliance, not seeking to be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, the same day, since then they have become Jinlan, watch and help each other, life and death together, and never abandon each other.
Night Star Han is the oldest, so he is the eldest brother. Gong Yao and Ye Chen were born in the same year, but Gong Yao was born in November, and Ye Chen was an orphan adopted by his master, so he didn't know his birth month, so Gong Yao arranged for him to be born in December.
Ye Chen argued with him, so he could only give up.
On this day, Night Xinghan sat in front of the sword-casting furnace in a daze.
Ye Chen asked him what he was doing, and he said, "I'm thinking about forging a sword." β
Ye Chen nodded and prepared to walk away, not wanting to disturb him.
Who knew that Ye Xinghan continued: "I want to cast three swords, one for you, one for me, and one for Xiao Yao. β
"Good brother, that's interesting!" Gong Yao ran out of the room and put his arm around his shoulders.
"That's nature." Night Star Han smiled: "I have already thought of the sword body system and the name of the sword. It's called 'star', 'yao', 'chen', how about it? β
Gong Yao smiled: "The mouth of the world's first sword-casting master is good. β
"But now there's another problem."
"What's the problem?"
"Materials." Night Star Han said, "If you want to fight a real divine weapon, you must use unusual materials. I'm afraid it's hard to obtain. β
"What are you afraid of," Gong Yao said with a smile, "Even if we go to the ends of the earth, we will go together to find it." β
Nightstar Han also smiled and hooked his shoulder.
Ye Chen said: "But I don't know what materials are missing?" β
Talking about the sword-casting, Night Star grimaced his face and said, "There are not many differences, only three. They are the Yaotian Stone in the North Abyss, the Cangliu Mine in the South Dark Snow Field, and the gold quicksand under the Imperial Palace of the Great Underworld. β
"So what are you waiting for?" Gong Yao jumped up, "It's good to be sunny today, and it's time for the young heroes to leave." β
Both of them laughed, and Ye Chen went to call Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was very dissatisfied: "You don't take me with you to worship, and you don't have my share in casting a sword!" β
Night Star Han smiled, "These three sword shapes and names all echo each other, to show our brotherhood. When I finish forging this set of swords, I will forge another one for you, and it will definitely not be worse than these three swords. β
Ye Ling immediately became happy. However, she did not wait for her sword to be cast, but just as the four of them set off to find the golden quicksand, they fell in love with a young man who lived in the desert.
It was a fiery day, and the midday desert was like a sword-forging furnace with a cold night star.
When he was about to faint, Ye Ling saw this young man named Yundi, and he led them to an oasis.
Although he lives in the desert, he is not a native of the Western Regions, and his skin is not the black and red that ordinary desert people are exposed to the sun.
On the contrary, because he was a child born of mixed blood between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, Yundi's complexion was whiter than that of ordinary Central Plains people, his facial features were deep and three-dimensional, and his eyelashes were as thick and curly as a feather fan, which made Ye Ling fall in love with him at a glance.
Luckily, Yundi is also in love with her.
Ye Chen was naturally grateful for Yundi's timely rescue.
But gratitude does not mean that he is willing to marry his beloved little junior sister, who is also the only daughter of the master, to Yundi. He still hoped that Ye Ling could be with Ye Xinghan or Gong Yao, and he didn't have to stay in this bitter place.
Desert...... How can a girl like water withstand the scorching wind and sand in the desert.
But all this was just Ye Chen's unilateral thoughts.
Ye Ling is very resolute, if Yun Di does not marry, if Ye Chen does not allow it, she would rather die to Mingzhi.
Since he was a child, Ye Chen has been indulgent, obedient, and spoiled to Ye Ling, no matter what she says, he will promise her with a smile. And this time, it's no exception. What's more, she has such a tough attitude.
I hope Yundi can be like him, love her, spoil her, take care of her, and grow old with her......
So, Ye Chen could only leave his blessings, with concern and reluctance, and only went on the road with Ye Xinghan and Gong Yao.
The next experience can be called a life of death.
Ye Chen was also glad that Ye Ling did not follow.
In less than a year, the three of them were almost sunburned to death in the desert, and then accidentally alarmed the guards of the Great Glory Kingdom, made a big disturbance in the palace of the Great Glory Kingdom, and finally found the golden quicksand; Next, he went to the North Underworld to look for the Yaotian Stone, but he almost drowned in the sea and was almost swallowed into the belly of a giant fish; The search for the Cangliu Mine was the most torturous experience, almost freezing to death in the snowfield, and then being besieged by snow bears and snow wolves, and getting lost in a blizzard, and the lack of food made them almost unable to return......
But no matter what hardships and hardships, the three of them are like their vows - not to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day, to help each other, and never give up.
Fortunately, despite all the hardships and hardships, they finally returned to Jianlu alive in March of the following year.
For a whole year, Ye Xinghan stayed at home, forged the divine sword with the stars and the moon, and finally completed the three swords on a bright spring day. On the day the three swords were baked, the sword qi roared for nine days.
The blades are no more than two fingers wide and five feet long, with the same outline on the outside and different sizes on the inside.
The whole body is white, like the Milky Way falling straight down, it is a "star" sword;
It is dark and black, only a few points of golden sand dot it, like a golden dragon, it is a "Yao" sword;
If the water is clear, the waves flash, and the light blue color is faintly seen, which is the "Chen" sword.
The three swords never deviate, and the brothers work together.
"I haven't been out for a year, and I really miss the days when I used to travel all over the world." Night Star Han poured a sip of wine and leaned against the threshold and sighed.
Gong Yao took the wine jar in his hand, raised his neck and took a sip, and said, "Then just go out again." β
The wine jar was passed to Ye Chen, Ye Chen took a sip and said with a smile: "I think Xiao Yao's idea is very good. β
Ye Xinghan said: "I have always longed for the spring in the south, why don't we go to the south to have a look." β
So, three people, three swords, said to go, and set out on the journey again.
On this day, the three of them searched for a Range Rover and unknowingly entered a jungle.
At the end of the jungle, there were many bamboo cottages with strange structures, and the three of them seemed to be extremely surprised, as if they had seen a place outside the world.
Ye Chen saw Gong Yao's shocked look, and couldn't help laughing: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. How can there be anything you don't recognize? β
Gong Yao smiled at Ye Xinghan and said, "Big brother, you see that Xiao Chen looks serious on weekdays, but he seizes the opportunity to tease me. β
Ye Xinghan also smiled: "You really owe it to clean up, when you have nothing to do, you will take a bite of Xinghan, and only come to call my brother when you want to find someone to help." β
"You two, it turns out that you are ...... in one go" Gong Yao shouted injustice.
"That's a natural ......"
The three of them were joking, when suddenly there was a noise in the jungle, and countless natives with weapons in their hands rushed out, dressed differently from the outside, and in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by a group.
A tall and beautiful woman walked out of the crowd and said to the three people, "Who are you and why are you watching here?" β
The three of them were relieved when they heard her speak. As long as words can still communicate, everything will be much easier. Gong Yao immediately stepped forward and explained that he had just strayed into this place.
The woman was still skeptical, only raised her eyes and looked at the three of them carefully, and the whip in her right hand gently slapped the palm of her left hand.
The long whip suddenly went straight to the door of the palace.
Gong Yao reacted quickly, turned around lightly, Yao's sword was not unsheathed, only slightly blocked in front of him, and the woman's long whip instantly wrapped around it like a spirit snake, and the two of them were lightly fixed for a while.
The woman said, "If you can beat me, I believe you just strayed here." With a hard hand, he withdrew the long whip and danced the debut whip again, enveloping Gong Yao. Gong Yao looked for the gap, dodged and escaped into the forest, the woman snorted coldly, and chased after him with a whip.
Ye Chen and Ye Xinghan wanted to follow, but when they saw that the female clan members were all standing still, they only pointed at them with their swords, and they couldn't move for a while. When I looked up, I couldn't see Gong Yao and the woman.
After the tea, there was another sound in the forest, but it was Gong Yao and the woman who woke up side by side. The woman smiled brightly, her right hand was raised lightly, and the people of the clan had already collected their weapons.
The woman walked in front of Ye Chen and Ye Xinghan, Ying Ying bowed, and it was the same Central Plains etiquette, and said with a smile: "Little woman Hongye, I've seen two." If a few people are so skilled, they won't be bad people. Please also come into my tribe and sit down. β
The two of them were not very surprised, so they only followed her and Gong Yao.
Although it is a wild tribe, the hospitality is very meticulous and thoughtful.
The village set up food and wine, red leaves only sat down with the three of them to talk about wine, temperament is like a man hearty and enthusiastic, was the patriarch of this tribe, the ancestors came here to avoid war, although the official language is not the Chinese people. It has been more than two hundred generations since the patriarch was handed over to her.
A few people were laughing, but they saw a timid little girl walking in. Although the appearance is slightly similar to the autumn leaves, the face is much more shy and the body is slightly smaller.
Momiji took her and sat down in front of her, and smiled at the three of them: "This is my sister Qilan, who used to like to cast swords the most, and she forged everything that should be used in our department." β
Qilan got up from herself, walked to Ye Xing Han and bowed, her face was already red before she could speak, and she said softly: "May I ask Childe, are you Ye Xing Han?" β
Two people with the same hobbies, just one glance at each other, are destined to have some stories.
In the following days, Ye Chen felt extremely lonely.
Because during the day, he often couldn't find the night star cold and Gong Yao's figure. And every time they see them, the two of them also have an expression of joy and displeasure, and they want to talk. This kind of expression was very familiar to Ye Chen, because he had seen it on Ye Ling's face, that was when they met the cloud flute in the desert.
Originally, it was just a small stay, but one accidentally lived from spring to summer.
"You're not going to stay here for a long time, are you?" Ye Chen kindly reminded the two.
The words fell, but Hongye and Qilan had already brought in the tent first, and Ye Chen felt very embarrassed.
Momiji smiled casually: "I have finished explaining the affairs of the clan and stepped down as the patriarch, so I can leave with you at any time." β
Gong Yao smiled and hugged her into his arms.
Ye Chen is twenty-two years old.
At this time, it has been four full years since he left Hakukoma Mountain.
The years turned, and he kept walking.
On this day, seeing the crisp autumn weather, I don't know who first proposed to go to sea to play.
As a prince, Gong Yao always had a way to get all the things they needed, including a huge and beautiful ship. It is said that even the strongest wind and waves cannot capsize the ship.
But how can there be a ship in this world that will never capsize.
As if there was light.
At the moment when he was about to lose his strength because of saving his companions, Ye Chen felt that he was gently pulled up from the water, and then, he saw a delicate face.
The woman who rescued them was named Twilight, a disciple of Qingluan Zhou of the Xianmen. And beside her, there was a kitten with wings, but the appearance was much more tiger than the average kitten, and when looking at them, a pair of ignorant big eyes were very innocent and cute.
Ye Chen sighed softly in his heart.
Twilight, what a gentle, nice name.
And even more gentle than the name is Twilight herself.
Listening to a few people talk about the interesting past, Twilight covered her mouth and chuckled. Then she asked, "Shall I join you?" β
Six people together, dare to break anywhere, cause a lot of trouble, but also help many people solve a lot of trouble.
It was a time of high spirits.
It is also Ye Chen's eternal dream in his heart.
