Abandon the knowledge and come to a secluded courtyard in the corner of the royal city.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-" Zhi knocked softly on the door. "Squeak" A little girl in green clothes poked her head out, saw Zhi, and was very happy: "Sister Zhi, why did you come back so soon?"

But as soon as he looked up and saw the abandonment behind him, he hurriedly stopped his voice.

"Go ahead, put her in the golden wire cage in the side room, and remember to lock it. "I know that the cicada slave will be stuffed into the little girl's hand.

"Yes!" the little girl glanced at the cat, and her face was overjoyed, and she flashed away.

Zhi took the abandonment through the courtyard and came to the flower hall. There is a huge screen in the hall, on which a splashed ink landscape, the gesture is unrestrained, the rhyme is dripping, and the flowing water and smoke in the painting seem to be all alive.

"Come with me. In a secret exclamation, he pulled him up and walked straight into the screen.

Qi Zheng was surprised, and found that with a "snort", he had entered another world.

But it turned out that this screen was actually a passage, and there was another world hidden behind the screen! With the experience of the sparse mountain that day, it was already clear in the moment of abandonment, and I didn't realize that I raised my eyes and looked around. Outside, it is now cold and cold, but in this world, there are warblers flying grass, peach red and willow green, the sun is warm overhead, and the warm breeze is blowing around you, which is very comfortable and comfortable, and you can't feel refreshed.

If this has always been such a bright spring, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to live here forever?

Knowing that he was leading the way in front of him, he walked a long way through a tea session, and the two came to a small farm yard.

"You wait for me for a moment. Zhi pushed away the firewood and walked in quickly.

This small courtyard is very elegant, a square pond in front of the door, several weeping willows behind the house, and all kinds of flowers bloom in the courtyard. Although it is an ordinary hut, it faintly reveals a distant temperament that makes people yearn for it.

"Come in!" After a few moments, Zhi lifted the curtain of the door and beckoned to abandon in the room.

When he entered the room, he found that the furnishings in the room were very simple, and an old man with a beard sat on a small couch in the window, looking at himself with a smile.

When he entered the room, he bowed to Lao Suo and bowed out.

"Abandon the little friend, please sit!" Lao Su pointed to the futon in front of him, "Don't be restrained." ”

It seems that Zhi has made a brief introduction. There seems to be a force in Lao Suo's words, like a spring breeze, which makes his heart sprout warmth, and he is willing to let go of all his burdens, open his mind, and face him calmly.

"Abandon Xiaoyou, your life experience and origin, would you like to talk to the old man?"

"Hmm!" Qu nodded, and told him about his experience of growing up at the foot of the mountain, and the adventure between Yuan Yang and the Cangyu world. Lao Su listened with a smile and nodded.

"Okay, the old man understands. Abandon the little friend, do you have any questions that you want to ask the old man? The old man must know everything. ”

"Grandpa," he was excited in his heart, and countless questions came to his heart, and he was speechless for a while.

After a pause, he asked, "Who am I, where are my parents, and why do I bring strife and murder everywhere I go?"

"Well-abandon the little friend, your old man can't answer this question for a while. "But would you like to hear the old man tell you a story?" ”

"Okay!" Listening to his first half of the sentence, Qiyuan was a little disappointed, and after listening to the second half of his sentence, he couldn't help but sit up straight.

"That was sixteen years ago, and there was no second calamity in this floating world......

"King Xuanyuan of the human race suddenly received an invitation from the Queen Mother of the West, saying that the once-a-year meeting of the five clans in Yaochi had been advanced, because the mana of the five spirit magic arrays in the empty mountain was weakened, and he was about to move, and he wanted to invite the leaders of all clans to discuss countermeasures. King Xuanyuan happily went, and also brought a newly brewed green jade roast, wanting to share it with the leaders of various clans. ”

"It is said that the green jade roast is a miracle brew because it is extremely difficult to brew, and after drinking, it can help cultivators absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and enhance the power of the primordial spirit. King Xuanyuan was originally a good intention, but he didn't know that this green jade burn had become the culprit of the day, and it also became the evidence of his misdeeds. ”

After the leaders drank the green jade burn, they suddenly fell into a coma, and the spiritual root they carried with them was immediately stolen. King Xuanyuan was the first to wake up, and found that the leaders were drunk and the spiritual roots were stolen, so he immediately rushed to the Trap Mountain. Only to find out that it was too late!"

"The circle has been opened, and there is no trace of it, and there is only a dim bead left in the array, without a trace of spiritual power. King Xuanyuan intercepted the pearl, and when he was suspicious, the lord of Jiuli led the people of all ethnic groups to suddenly appear. This Jiuli Lord and King Xuanyuan have been old enemies for many years, dominating Dongyi, eyeing Heluo and even the entire Terran Continent. ”

In front of everyone, the Lord of Jiuli insisted that the darkness in the Empty Mountain was released by King Xuanyuan. The purpose of King Xuanyuan's move was to collude with the Queen Mother of the West to destroy the efforts of the rest of the clans to return to the Divine Realm, and to monopolize the Divine Realm passage that had been found by the Celestial Clan. King Xuanyuan was speechless, and the two confronted each other. ”

At this moment, the darkness began to cause chaos in various parts of the floating ruin world, and for a moment the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and the scene fell into chaos. King Xuanyuan rushed out of the empty mountain and engaged in a fierce battle with the dark. The Lord of Jiuli suddenly attacked, and in the name of destroying the scum of the human race, he severely injured King Xuanyuan. ”

At this time, the leaders of the other clans hurried in, wanting to join forces to reactivate the magic circle. Di suddenly devoured the Jiuli Lord, and after devouring it, his strength skyrocketed. Without the earth-based power of the human race, the magic circle could not be reactivated, and the leaders of all the clans were injured by the darkness. ”

"Seeing that this floating ruin world was about to sink completely, at the critical moment, King Xuanyuan actually released his Yuan Shen, risking the danger of extinction, relying on the protection of the artifact Xuanyuan Sword, and desperately rushed into the magic circle. ”

The circle was reactivated, and the darkness was resealed in an instant. But the moment it was inhaled by the circle, it created a huge void, and at the same time, two rays of light, one black and one white, flew out of its body, piercing the sky, and I don't know where to fly......"

"King Xuanyuan was damaged and fell asleep ever since. The Queen Mother of the West withstood the pressure from all sides, fought hard to save King Xuanyuan's body, and sent him back to King Xuanyuan City. The floating ruins were in shambles, and all the tribes were greatly injured and returned to the clan land to recuperate. Since then, the Xuanyuan Department has been looking for the real culprit who released the dark, but the remnants of Jiuli have launched a years-long war against the Xuanyuan Department. Many tribes of various tribes who did not know the truth chose their camps to join the war, and the floating land was in dire straits for a while. ”

A small part of this story has also been told by Ah Zhao before, although there are some differences, but they just corroborate each other, and I can hear it very clearly. He was just a little strange: listening to what this old man said, King Xuanyuan was a righteous man, and he was wronged at that time. But what does this have to do with our problem?

Lao Suo seemed to know what he was thinking, and continued unhurriedly: "After the gloomy disaster, several proverbs began to spread on the land of floating ruins: Xuanzhu has an image, Taiyi returns to the truth, calls on the gods, and all obeys orders. ”

I don't know where this proverb came from, but the meaning is very obvious: whoever finds the 'Xuanzhu' and the 'elephant' will become the master of the divine realm! It is even rumored that the bead that King Xuanyuan cut off from the empty mountain that day was the Xuanzhu. But the 'image' is who or what it is, but there are different opinions, and no one knows. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Suo stopped and quietly watched abandonment.

"Grandpa," Qu was a little surprised, "what do you mean, could it be that I am the 'elephant'?"

Lao Su just smiled and did not answer: "You said that when you were born, you lay in half a gourd, and your gourd may give the old man a look?"

He hurriedly took out the gourd and handed it over. Lao Sue squinted his eyes and examined it carefully, rubbed it with his hand again, and gave it back to him.

"You just said that there was a gourd called Luo Yeluo in that Cangyu world, and there is also half a gourd like this?"

Qu nodded: "The cicada slave who took me captive to this floating ruin told me that Luo Yeluo was my shadow, and it was cut off by someone with that 'broken shadow'. ”

Lao Suo shook his head: "Hehe, it's nonsense! How can you be separated by a mere 'broken shadow'? When have you ever lost your shadow?"

"What is that Luo Yeluo?" After thinking about it carefully, there was some truth in what Lao Suo said, but he was a little confused, "but I feel that there is indeed some kind of mysterious connection between me and him." ”

"Do you know what the pattern on your gourd is?" said the old man, looking up.

Abandon shook his head blankly.

"If my guess is correct, the pattern is the spell of the Five Spirit Circle in the Hollow Mountain, written in the eternal rune pattern, and no one knows it. ”

"......What do you mean?"

Lao Su smiled and nodded: "The two rays of light that flew out of the dark body that day should be two different forces, which were sent to two different worlds by it. The escort of those two rays of light should be two gourds. ”

"Do you mean that I am one of the rays of light, and that I have been sent to the long river at the foot of the mountain?" Qi became more and more incredulous, and stood up, "so that I have no father or mother, but was born from that 'darkness'? How is this possible? I am no more than flesh and blood, no different from ordinary people. I've never been to this floating world, and I don't remember ever being there, so why should I have anything to do with that 'gloom'?"

Seeing that he was a little anxious, Lao Suo just smiled and motioned for him to sit down: "This is just the old man's speculation, not necessarily the truth." I'm afraid only one person can confirm your identity. ”

"Who?" asked instinctively, only to find that the old man was staring at him with a smile in his eyes.

"What do you mean, myself?!"

Lao Suo nodded: "The 'Xuanzhu' that King Xuanyuan brought back from the empty mountain was stolen back then, and he was exiled to the field of the sinking field. In fact, King Xuanyuan already knew who the person who stole the pearl was, so he couldn't hide people's eyes and ears and put a long line to catch big fish. ”

"The person who stole the pearl seems to be ......" Qi suddenly remembered the words of the cicada slave when he was in the country of Cangyu.

"Yes, but he is also being used!" interrupted the old man, and sighed, "but now, the big fish is very cunning, and has gone away, leaving a broken thread, but you can continue to track it." Maybe the day the big fish comes out of the water is when your identity is clear. ”

"Broken lines?" Qu was a little puzzled.

Lao Suo high-fived and entered in response.

Lao Su pointed to him: "Follow her, she can help you!"
