Chapter 629: Latent
Ge Gen and Bi Luo glanced at each other, their faces were actually worried, Gu Yan didn't speak, just waiting for the two of them to decide.
After a while, Ge Gen said with some hesitation: "The fairy is pitiful, the villain doesn't dare to be delusional, but just now the demon girl once said, my Ling'er was born with a yin spirit body, and it is an excellent furnace among cultivators, I don't know ......."
Gu Yan smiled dumbly and said, "If I want to be unfavorable to your daughter, do I have to spend so much effort?" ”
When she saw that both of them were so frightened that they fell to their knees, she said, "I won't blame you two for loving their daughters." Your daughter, born with a yin spirit body, will inevitably be watched by others in the future, so let's do it, after I cure her, you can use the teleportation array to avoid Cangwu. The territory of Cangwu is so large that you can live everywhere, I can make a talisman seal with her, cover her natural physique, so that it will not be perceived by outsiders, find a secluded place, live in peace, and spend this life. ”
As soon as Gu Yan said this, Ge Ling, who was in her arms, had already opened her eyes. Before her eyes, there was still some blood mist and she couldn't see it really, but she heard Yu Fangcai's words clearly, and reluctantly spit out a few words, "Daddy, Auntie, I want to worship this sister as a master!" ”
Although she was covered in blood, she showed an extremely determined look on her face, "I want to cultivate immortals, I don't want to be a burden to my father, I don't want you to take me to hide in Tibet all your life, I don't want to live this kind of life!" ”
Ge Gen and Bi Luo glanced at each other, and suddenly burst into tears, and said, "Ling'er, we should ...... you"
Gu Yan smiled with satisfaction, "You stay on the island for a few days, recover from your injuries, and then go back to the Great Wilderness with me." You two, do you want to go together? She smiled and said, "I came to this South China Sea, alone, and there is no one to guard the cave for me. ”
Kudzu shook his head firmly. "My husband and wife have been pitied by the fairy, and it is already a great grace to let Ling'er worship the door, how can the fairy take care of it? My wife and I have our own place to go. I just hope that the fairy can cure my family's Ling'er, and when the art is completed in the future, she can return to the province to visit relatives, so that her wish is enough. ”
Although Bi Luo did not speak, she also held his arm, obviously the husband and wife had the same intention.
Gu Yan also admired their style. Even so, he was not reluctant, and asked, "Then you two, where are you going, but do you want to go back to Vermilion Bird City?" ”
Ge Gen said: "I am in Vermilion Bird City, just to settle down temporarily, waiting for the fairy to return, and now Ling'er has a home." I planned to return to Suzaku City, and after delivering the mission, I headed to the extreme south. Defect to the old friend. ”
Bi Luo said in a low voice: "I have an old friend of the teacher, who takes great care of me, she is now in the extreme south of the South China Sea, on the glacier, setting up a palace of her own, and is recruiting disciples, I am ready to go to the place, where the terrain is desolate, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, and I am with my grandson. They will all settle down there, and if Ling'er heals his injuries in the future and returns to the province by his master's order, he can look for me everywhere. ”
Gu Yan said: "That being the case, let me give you a ride, I'm outside Vermilion Bird City." There is still a temporary cave house, when I go back to clean up, I can return to the Great Wilderness. She looked down at Ge Ling, smiled and said, "I set up a mansion in the Great Wilderness, called the City of the Great Wilderness, that is my cave mansion in the South China Sea, before returning to Cangwu, you will stay there for twenty-seven years." ”
Ge Ling closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile like a crooked crescent, over the years, she has followed her mother to hide in Tibet, and has never had any peaceful birthday, of course, she has no intention of seeing any scenery, but when she heard Gu Yan's words, she couldn't help but have a trace of reverie in her heart, the place that the master said is her future home. It seems that life is full of hope again......
Gu Yan put Ge Ling on Ziyun Gui, cut off the heavenly wind with a spell, and slowly flew in the direction of Vermilion Bird City.
Ge Ling lay on it, only feeling like a jade couch in brocade clothes, extremely stable and safe, his parents were by his side, and he felt that in his life, there was no such perfection at this moment.
Gu Yan flew for a long time, and then returned to the cave where she lived temporarily, where she and Chen Diezi talked freely for more than a month, and each other became confidants. It's been a day since the two separated, I don't know if she has taken Bi Xuan back to Qingqiu?
Gu Yan placed Ge Ling in a stone room and said, "You two go to Vermilion Bird City, settle your affairs, come back here and stay with her for a few more days, and then break up when you recover from your injuries." ”
Ge Gen and Bi Luo thanked Gu Yan again, and then they flew to Vermilion Bird City with reluctance to part.
When the two of them entered the city gate, they found that in this Suzaku City, there was actually a different atmosphere from the past.
In the huge city, there is a cold and solemn atmosphere, even the monks in the air have become fewer, every monk who enters and leaves must be checked, and they are at the city gate, and they have been questioned very harshly by the monk who guards the door, after saying the identity and taking out the token, the other party still carefully went to the city lord's mansion to inquire, and used the jade plate, carved the appearance of Gegen and Biluo, and the jade book left, one by one to confirm and compare, after confirming that it is correct, then the two of them were put in, The monk who guarded the gate also had one more sentence: "When you return to the city, immediately give the order, don't go around, don't make trouble!" ”
Ge Gen couldn't help but wonder, this Vermilion Bird City is the most prosperous Tongdu Dayi within a radius of thousands of miles, and the grand place where scattered cultivators gather, why is there such a tense atmosphere now?
They went back to the city lord's mansion to hand over the order, and saw the uncle named Qing Yuanzi, and returned the task, Qing Yuanzi seemed to have something, but he only listened to their report, and said: "You two have worked hard, quickly return to the place where you live, don't act rashly, and wait for the dispatch of the four city lords." ”
Gegen also wanted to say that he was going to leave Suzaku City, but Qing Yuanzi waved him impatiently and asked him to go down, Bi Luo gently tugged at his sleeve, and the two retreated silently.
When she arrived outside the hall, Bi Luo whispered: "Didn't you see that uncle of yours, is he quite impatient with you?" Obviously, something big must happen in the city, and I'm afraid that the two of us are not in their sight at all. You have been in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, have you ever seen the Four City Lords appear? ”
Ge Gen thought about it and suddenly felt reasonable, "So what?" ”
Bi Luo said: "Anyway, the matter has been handed over, we are considered to have completed our merits, and it is not interesting to stay in this city any longer, it is better to wait until it gets dark, and then take the opportunity to go out of the city and meet Ling'er for a few more days." Wouldn't it be better to go to my elder's Xiaoice Palace in the South China Sea, where I lived in seclusion and participated in training, waiting for Ling'er to return from school? ”
Kudzu has always been affectionate. And according to what he had said to the wife, he returned to his dwelling.
When they entered the city, it was still early in the morning, and it was not yet noon, and it was still a long time before nightfall, but they returned to the courtyard where they were staying. only to find that the house had long been empty, and the original two neighbors had all moved away, leaving only their room still occupied.
The neighborhoods on both sides were also locked and silent, and occasionally a person went out, and when he saw the two of them coming back, it was as if he had seen a ghost. Quickly shrank back. The two of them were very confused.
And at this time, Cui Qiao, the four city lord that Ge Gen said in his mouth, was sitting in his hall. Listening to Qing Yuanzi's reply.
He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Do you remember correctly, that person named Gu Yan, the first time he came to Vermilion Bird City, he did go to this person's family surnamed Ge to find someone?" ”
Qing Yuanzi nodded respectfully, "Back to the Fourth City Lord, the one named Ge Gen is my nephew, his wife Bi Luo, who was originally from Zhu Zi Island. But he was abducted by him, which caused the Duan deputy island master to be furious, and once said that no matter where he saw them, he would capture and kill them, and then he didn't know how, but he actually invited out the master of Qianjing Island who didn't recognize anyone. In the end, the Lord of Duan Island gave this face, spared their lives, and only expelled them from afar, and they were not allowed to set foot in the realm of Zhu Zidao for the rest of their lives. Subsequently, they gave birth to a daughter, and I heard that she was born with nine yin veins, and she sank into the bones, and she couldn't be cured. He took his wife and daughter, sought medical treatment everywhere, and even his cultivation was abandoned, and he became even more estranged from us uncles. I don't know why he found out about my Suzaku City this time, so he came to take refuge. ”
Cui Qiao said "um", then stood up, "You have done a very good job in this matter, you have secretly sent people to be optimistic, you must not let them go, I will go to see the big city lord, if you do a good job, what is the difficulty of promoting you to become an eighth city lord?" ”
Qing Yuanzi's face suddenly showed joy, he was in this Vermilion Bird City, as one of the dozens of deputy city lords, it was actually quite difficult to do, and his authority was far from being comparable to the seven city lords, and now that he had Cui Qiao's words, he bowed down and responded: "My subordinates will live up to their trust!" Cui Qiao smiled with satisfaction, stood up, and quickly walked towards the apse.
He turned a few corridors, walked out of the city lord's mansion through the back door, walked along a sandwich road for a while, and suddenly opened up in front of him, an extremely high white tower, straight into the clouds, Cui Qiao flew up, and fell into the highest layer of the white tower.
This place is called Babel Tower, which is the tallest building in the entire Suzaku Castle, and it is also the place where the great lord who founded Suzaku Castle has been cultivating in recent years.
This tower has dozens of floors, layer by layer winding, at the top, there is only a stone room carved with white jade, Cui Qiao walked lightly outside the stone room, and raised his hand to knock.
After tapping three times, a voice came from inside, "It's the fourth, come in." ”
Cui Qiao pushed the door in, and in the stone room with a radius of several zhang, there was only one couch, a few, a stool, and a futon.
On top of the jade couch, there was an old man. He was wearing a robe printed with countless stars, his eyes were slightly closed, his white eyebrows were almost down to his eyelids, and his face was full of wrinkles, piling up layer by layer, as if just a slight movement of his face would shake out the wind and frost that had gone through thousands of years.
When he saw that Cui Qiao was coming, he stretched out his hand and said, "Sit." ”
Cui Qiao sat respectfully on the stool and said, "I haven't come to see my eldest brother for several months, is my eldest brother okay?" Is it better to go off the plate and lose the stiffness? ”
The old man said lightly: "That's it, since the last time I visited the Yuanying Avenue, I accidentally went mad, and the yin qi diverged into the lower body, so that the three yang meridians were out of balance, and for hundreds of years, it has not been able to heal, and the things in the city depend on you." ”
The extremely bland conversation between the two revealed an amazing secret, this big city lord, he was promoted to the late stage of the Jiedan, and created Vermilion Bird City here, for more than a thousand years, it has been a holy place for countless scattered cultivation in the South China Sea, but this big city lord who was once in the wind and clouds back then has already been paralyzed here because of his madness, and he can't move for hundreds of years!
Cui Qiao's face did not show any contempt, but became more respectful, "Big brother has said more." Even if you can't move in the next game, but with your all-you-can-earth spells, who are you afraid of? We are trying our best to find an elixir for you, as long as the true qi recovers, the next plate will be resurrected. Then you can immediately advance to the realm of consummation of the Dan, and under the three primordial infants, if you don't think about others, even if you are famous in the South China Sea. The Xiuning Island Lord Du Qu who kills people without blinking, as well as the mysterious and treacherous Ruan Fairy in Qingqiu, who is as unpredictable as a fox, and the Doro Buddha of Yuntai Buddha Country, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compare with you. ”
He said so many words of praise in one breath, and almost counted the masters under the three major yuan infants, but the old man's face. But he was still silent, he said lightly: "Du Island Lord and Fairy Ruan, both of whom have been famous for many years when I debuted, are far more famous than me, and my injuries are not healed now, how can I compete with them?" He didn't mean enough to say it. seems to agree with Cui Qiao's words, as long as his injuries are gone, he may not be inferior to the people he said!
Cui Qiao said: "Over the years. I, the second brother and the third brother, and all the brothers, have been trying our best to find something to heal the eldest brother's injuries, if you want to dissolve the yin qi in the three yang meridians in your body, only the Purple Gold Flame Dragon Lotus, or the legendary Soul Devouring Eye, can be effective, but unfortunately in the past hundred years, there has been no trace at all. We are in this Suzaku City. Countless fang markets have been established, and there are many monks coming and going from the south to the north, but none of them are rumored! ”
The old man said lightly: "It is precisely because of this that you colluded with the people of the Lian family to do such a secret thing on that Chaoyuan Island?" ”
His voice was low and weak. said these words lightly, as if even a gust of wind could blow it away, but Cui Qiao was shocked, he quickly stood up, knelt down in front of him, and said: "Fourth brother is reckless, please punish the eldest brother!" ”
The old man sighed, waved his hand, and made him stand up, "You wait for your mind, how can I not know?" Running for my injury, joining forces with the Lian family, refining the soul devouring corpse, that's fine, but you shouldn't be delusional, you actually want to plot against the Chen Diezi in Qingqiu, you know those women in Qingqiu, they have strange tempers, they are angry, thunder and might, how can we resist? ”
Cui Qiao's whole body suddenly dripped, "It turns out that the eldest brother is in this Tower of Babel, but he already knows everything about the outside world." ”
The old man sighed, "Back then, the four of us brothers built this Vermilion Bird City here, in order to establish a foundation in the South China Sea, just like the Cangwu Gusu City, to be able to find a pure land for scattered cultivation in the South China Sea, outside the seven islands, just to survive in the cracks, it is really not easy, these years, under the eyes of those people in Hanlian Peak, we are cautious, do not dare to have the slightest neglect, that Lin Fairy, has always been a lonely and scattered person, and will not pay more attention to us. Can't you even wait for a little patience? ”
Cui Qiao stood up, his two hands clenched his fists tightly, his muscles burst out, and he said in a deep voice: "What the eldest brother said, although it is Lao Cheng's serious words, but back then, the four brothers swore a blood oath, but now the eldest brother is lying in bed because of the fire, how can it not be worrying?" Now in the South China Sea, the wind is surging, a few months ago, the bamboo of Yunmeng has been born again, if we don't use some means, I am afraid that in a few decades, the South China Sea will no longer hear the name of Vermilion Bird City. ”
The old man whispered: "Is it really that important for you to wait for a false name like this?" He let out a long sigh, "Anyway, if you join forces with the Lian family, do you know that Lian Wenqing is a good person?" You have to know that behind him, standing is the Eight Desolation Monks, the old demon who has been crisscrossing the South China Sea for thousands of years, killing people without blinking, when he is angry, how can Vermilion Bird City compete with him? ”
Cui Qiao said: "Brother Lian and I, there were several encounters in Cangwu back then, and they surrendered to each other, he came to the South China Sea, and before he arrived at Qianjing Island, he first came to look for me, and chose the place of refining corpses on Mixed Yuan Island, which was also obtained by listening to my advice." Although Qianjing Island is his reliance, but its strength is too strong, it can't let him rest assured, it is not as good as my relationship of equality and cooperation, but it is more reliable. If his soul-devouring corpse is refined, supplemented by the treasure of your eldest brother, and the two join forces, can't we set up another shili outside the seven major islands? ”
The old man lowered his eyebrows and said lightly: "The three of you have already prepared this time." Anyway, over the years, the three of you have been in charge of the major affairs in the city, and you don't need to ask me. I just don't know, how are you going to behave? ”
Cui Qiao bowed his head respectfully and said: "It's hard to escape the eyes of the eldest brother, but I discussed with the second brother and the third brother, and I didn't dare to disturb the eldest brother in advance and add to my worries. We plan to divide into two ways, the second brother and the third brother, to ambush Chen Diezi on the way, while I am in Vermilion Bird City, dealing with the female cultivator named Gu Yan. It's just that I have to ask my eldest brother to help. ”
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and in a pair of eyes, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, and then quickly disappeared, "I'm just a useless old man, if you have any requests, please say it." ”
Cui Qiao bowed down and said, "I heard that the woman has an innate fire spirit and is good at fire control, so I want to borrow the eldest brother's Vermilion Bird Ring to use it." ”
The old man said slowly: "My Vermilion Bird Ring, although it also has the name of the ancient treasure, but it is only imitated by later generations, no matter the power of creation, it is far from comparable, and it may not be able to control the innate fire spirit. ”
Cui Qiao frowned, and just as he was about to speak, the old man said again: "But since you want this treasure to be useful, take it, but it can't be damaged, remember to get it back eventually." ”
With that, he stretched out his five-fingered, thin, crane-like palm and took out a crimson jade ring from under the jade couch.
This jade ring is carved very exquisitely, crystal clear, a thin layer, there seems to be a liquid in the natural circulation, the strange thing is that in the jade ring, there seems to be a vermilion bird, is swimming in it, the cycle is endless. Cui Qiao took it, and felt that the tentacles were warm, and it seemed that there was a stream of heat inside, slowly emitting through the Vermilion Bird.
He took the jade ring in his arms, bowed down again, and said, "Thank you, big brother, I'll go here." ”
The old man suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him again, "You sent the second and third children to catch the little girl in Qingqiu, what are you going to do?" ”
Cui Qiaozhanzhu's figure, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "That little girl, with the blood of the demon fox of Qingqiu, is a natural demon spirit body, if she can be captured in the city and become a double cultivator with me, then the Qianyuan Treasure Technique I have practiced will be able to go to the next level, maybe like the eldest brother at the beginning, and advance to the peak of the Jiedan." ”
The old man sighed lightly, "With the means of the second and third children, it is not difficult to take down that girl by surprise, but if this matter leaks out, it will be followed by Qingqiu's endless revenge, at that time, you will wait to bear the anger of those women." Qingqiu was furious, thunder and heavenly might, far beyond people's imagination, you must know that the methods of those women are not very comparable, especially that Ruan Fairy......"
His brows were a little worried, as if he had thought of something extremely ancient, and he spoke slowly, "Are you sure that you are alone in the city and ambush that female cultivator surnamed Gu?" ”
Cui Qiao showed a smile, "If we meet at sea, maybe it will make her escape, but in this Vermilion Bird City, there is a Vermilion Bird Array to suppress it, and there is this Vermilion Bird Ring to help, if I let her run away again, then I don't have to cultivate anymore, just find a piece of tofu and kill her head." He didn't want to say more, but bowed to the old man and hurried away.
The big city lord watched Cui Qiao's back gradually fade away, and sighed in a low voice: "Over the years, the fourth brother's courage has grown, no wonder, if I had the same courage as him, maybe I wouldn't have fallen into such a situation." I just hope that they don't make a mess and that zuihou will let me clean it up. Don't forget, whose family is this Vermilion Bird City! ”
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes were full of light, and as soon as he lifted the blanket that had covered his legs, he quickly stood up, his thin and tall body almost breaking the upper wall of the stone chamber.
It turned out that this big city lord who had gone mad and had crippled legs, I don't know when, had completely recovered and his injuries were gone, and no one in the entire Vermilion Bird City knew about this matter!
