After the plan to go to the Lieyang border was decided, the speed of travel also increased.

Jiuqiu and Lieyang united with other gods in the Eastern Continent to plot a surprise attack on Xianxia Pass, once they succeeded, Chaoyan would be destroyed, and the situation in the Eastern Continent would also change. Qing Ling guessed that Mu Chen chose to go north, most likely because he wanted to inform the Eastern Continent defenders stationed on the border in advance, so that they could prepare in advance. In this way, he could not only avoid the danger of Chaoyan being raided by the enemy, but also win Mu Chen's reputation as a protector of the country, and eliminate Emperor Hao's misunderstanding of him.

She analyzed her guess to Mu Chen, but Mu Chen just smiled indifferently and was noncommittal.

After leaving Yuzhong and entering Chaoyan, there were obviously more checks along the road. Mu Chen ordered to go down, change the route to the middle of the Eastern Continent, which is less populated and densely forested, and ride north at night under the cover of mountains and forests.

Early in the morning, the group arrived near Zhangguo Mountain, decided to take a short rest in the forest, and waited for the night to fall again.

Qing Ling found a nearby clear water pool, washed his face, and sat under an acacia tree by the water to fix his hair in a bun.

At this time, the morning is bright and warm, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves overhead, reflecting the dappled and shiny pattern.

From time to time, she stopped her movements and looked up at the sunlight, only to feel warm and indescribably comfortable.

Mu Chen stood and stared at the distance for a moment, and only after Qing Ling combed her hair in a bun did she slowly walk in front of her and hand over a small porcelain vase.

"Here are some wishes for Yu Dan, you take them with you."

Zhu Yu Dan has no taste when chewed, but if you eat one, you will not be hungry for three days, and it is perfect for eating a stomach during the journey. Qing Ling opened the porcelain bottle, poured out one and ate it.

Mu Chen sat down beside her, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Right now, we have to hide and sleep in the open, and we have wronged you." ”

Qing Ling raised the corners of his mouth, "What is not wronged?" I've wanted to come out and run out for a long time. "I don't think it's hard, but to be honest, I feel energetic every day!

She shook the porcelain vase in her hand, "I wish Yu Dan is also delicious." In the past, when I accompanied Master in Tangting retreat, I also ate this. ”

Mu Chen looked at Qing Ling, and for a moment, he looked away again, and a shallow smile appeared on his lips.

Qing Ling secretly looked at Mu Chen, only to see that his graceful side was bathed in the morning light, coated with a layer of looming soft light, and his expression was extremely noble and calm. The people who watched it didn't feel a little stupid.

From the first few conversations, she could feel that the distance between the two seemed to be much closer. There is a tacit understanding between each other, although it has never been broken, but it grows sour and shyness in her heart......

Mu Chen maintained a posture of looking ahead, but pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, "Have you seen enough?" ”

"Huh?"

Qing Ling reacted, and his cheeks immediately flushed, and he said hesitantly, "Look...... I didn't watch! ”

Mu Chen turned his head and looked at Qing Ling with a smile, his deep eyes faded away from the usual coldness and sharpness, leaving only a piece of gentleness and pleasure.

The breeze blew, sending the fresh breath of the mountains and forests, which refreshed the lungs, and the pink acacia flowers swirled down leisurely and landed beside the two of them.

Qing Ling abruptly looked away, sat stiffly for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and took out the illusion shell he bought in Jiuqiu, "I'll show you a novelty!" This is the last time I bought it in Zhangyao, it was fun! ”

She moved closer to Mu Chen, and while opening and closing the seashell in her hand, she said, "Look, every time you open and close, you will change a different scene!" This is the coral trees at the bottom of the sea, this is the school of fish......"

After the seashell was bought, everything happened one after another, and there was no time to play with it. Today, I just had time to take a look at every scene, and by the way, reconcile and reconcile the awkward atmosphere!

She closed the shell again, opened it again, and the landscape changed again. I saw that in the blue waves, two topless sharks swam to each other, stretched out their arms to hug each other, and then kissed passionately.

Qing Ling blinked vigorously, then was stunned for a long time, and suddenly closed the seashell.

Mu Chen let out a smile and said slowly, "It's really interesting." ”

Qing Ling's face was as red as a burning cloud, and he couldn't even find the courage to explain, so he just wanted to raise his hand and throw the seashell into the pool next to him.

At the same time as Xian Xian taught Qing Ling the method of applying needles, he also "pointed out" the details of the relationship between men and women, Qing Ling was red-faced and half-understood, but the most critical steps were still understood......

What, how dare you sell this kind of thing to children! It is said that the folk customs of Jiuqiu are open, but I didn't expect it to be open to such an extent!

Mu Chen looked at Qing Ling, who was red-faced and red-eared and gritted his teeth, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little.

He stood up and stretched out his hand to Qing Ling, "Come, I'll take you to a more interesting place." ”

Qing Ling was embarrassed and relieved, and stood up with his eyes lowered.

Mu Chen summoned Danfeng, jumped on the back of the bird with Qingling, and flew towards the mountain peak not far away.

"It's ...... Zhangor Mountain? ”

Qing Ling looked at the majestic peaks that were gradually approaching, and slowly forgot his previous embarrassment.

Mu Chen nodded, drove Danfeng to fly to the front of the temple at the highest point of the peak, and fell down with the green spirit.

"Why aren't there defensive enchantments here?"

Qing Ling looked up at the tall and magnificent Zhangguo Palace in front of him, and saw that the green and faint wild grass had grown on the eaves of the stairs, and the dew on the cobwebs at the corners reflected the starry sunlight, which was completely depressed and sparse.

"Master said that Chongwu, Fu Yu and Zhanggu are the three holy mountains in the Eastern Continent, but here, it seems to be very desolate and ......."

Mu Chen said: "Since more than 300 years ago, after Zhang Xuannu died in the Cangli War, this place has been deserted. The Zhanggu lineage, unlike Chongwu and Fu Yu, is directly controlled by the direct descendants of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, and is passed down from generation to generation according to blood relations. It is already difficult for the Protoss to reproduce heirs, and the bloodline of the Emperor of Heaven is even more special, and when it was passed on to the ancestor Zhang Gu Zhenjun, there was only one daughter, Xuannu, left. It is also for this reason that although the descendants of the Heavenly Emperor have the most noble bloodline in the world, they eventually lose the ability to rule the Eastern Continent. ”

Qing Ling leaned sideways and walked up the stairs, thinking about it and saying, "I understand, after the death of the Xuannu, the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor's bloodline will be terminated, and there will be no master in this Zhanggu Mountain. ”

She remembered the rumors about the Great War, and said angrily: "The Xuannu is really pitiful! actually died in the hands of Luo Heng's demon! What a pity! ”

Mu Chen smiled indifferently, "Becoming a king and defeating a king." Since she chose to put on the battle armor for Chaoyan, she should be mentally prepared to die on the battlefield. Luo Heng is just fighting for his country and beliefs. ”

Qingling paused, "But Xuannu is the queen of Chaoyan, and she is also your stepmother, she died, aren't you angry at all?" Could it be...... She used to be bad to you? ”

Mu Chen groaned and said, "To be honest, I don't have any feelings for her. When she married her father, I was in retreat and cultivation in Fuyu Mountain, so I couldn't even attend the wedding. ”

He tugged at the corners of his lips slightly, "Perhaps, my father was unwilling to let the son of the former queen appear at his wedding, and deliberately arranged the wedding date when I was in retreat." At that time, I was refining to the highest level of the Fire Lotus Technique, and I stayed in Fu Yu for several years, and it was not until the second year after the end of the Cangli War that I returned to Lingxiao City. ”

Qing Ling suddenly realized, "Oh, so you've never seen this stepmother!" No wonder......"

She herself is also an unknown biological parent, so she does not have any strong feelings. Comparing the heart to the heart, it is also very clear......

The two stepped on the highest part of the temple steps, stood against the railing, crossed the mountain mist between the clouds and clouds, and looked far away.

"Although I have never seen Zhangguo Xuannu, I know that Zhangguo Palace is the best place to see the rivers and mountains of the Eastern Land." Mu Chen raised his hand and pointed to the northwest, "There, it's Chongwu." "Moved down," all the way west from here, is Daze. ”

Qing Ling followed his finger and looked out, and as far as he could see, there were green and deep mountains and forests, as well as open fields, and in the distance, villages and towns could be faintly seen. Daze is connected to the ocean, and the waters are vertical and horizontal, separating countless islands, like pearls scattered on a blue plate.

"Compared with the northern continent where Lieyang is located, the eastern continent has evergreen scenery in all seasons, so it is also called Qinglu."

Mu Chen walked to the other side of the hall steps, "From here to the northwest, there is the Kingdom of Lieyang." The highest mountain in the southeast of Lieyang is Fuyu Mountain. ”

He looked to the northwest, was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Lingxiao City is also in this direction. ”

Chaoyan is the capital of Chaoyan country, which is rumored to be the most prosperous place in the world. Qing Ling couldn't help but hold on to the railing curiously, standing on tiptoe and looking up, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see anything.

Mu Chen turned around and looked at Qing Ling, his eyes, which had suddenly become a little dark and cold, gradually became calm and soft, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a light arc.

Qing Ling leaned on the railing in frustration, "It's a pity that I can't see anything!" ”

Mu Chen looked away, and there was more solemnity in his tone, "I'll see it one day." ”

Lingxiao City, Vermilion Bird Palace.

One day, he will take back everything that belongs to him!
