The crowd was bustling, calling the peddlers to come and go, and in the eyes of Chen An and the women's palace master, these people were in full view, whether they were in the room or behind the wall.

And their bodies were also full of red energy, the flames in their eyebrows were very weak, they were mortals, and some of the flames in their eyebrows were vigorous, they were cultivators.

This fire is called soul fire, and the stronger the soul fire, the stronger the cultivator, which has nothing to do with the realm.

The soul fire of mortals is white, symbolizing ignorance, which is also the most common color in the crowd, and the soul fire of cultivators in the reincarnation realm is gray, symbolizing the beginning of the convergence of the aura between heaven and earth, and there are very few in the crowd. The soul fire of the cultivator who entered the Xuan Realm was purple, symbolizing the ability to absorb the purple qi of heaven and earth, and explore the mysteries for the first time, which was even less, except for the female palace master in front of him, the sword slave, Huang Tingxiu, and one or two could occasionally be seen in the crowd below.

As for the soul fire of the transcendent realm, Chen An had only heard Mr. Feng say it, but he had never seen it. Only when a cultivator has entered the transcendent can he be qualified to call himself an immortal. However, not all transcendent realm cultivators can call themselves immortals, only when they truly perceive the truth of heaven and earth, and after the soul wanders out of the body, the soul fire turns from purple to blue, can it be regarded as transcending the mortal womb of the physical body, and can resonate with heaven and earth, that is, transcendental.

Xu saw it for too long, and the two seemed to be unknown, so they only heard Huang Yijian whisper:

"How long will they have to watch, or let's go first, or we won't be able to catch the shadow show at night." ”

Huang Yijian was still thinking about the shadow play in the west of the city that Jian Nu had said at this moment, and when he saw Chen An and the female palace master, they were like old monks, and when they saw dusk from noon, they couldn't help but speak.

The sword slave nodded, he knew that the two of them were using the Purple Pole True Eye, but in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, it was boring.

Huang Yijian's face was happy, he pouted and glanced at Chen An, and then crawled out from under the table. She thought that the arrival of this big brother would bring something interesting, but now it seems that it is only boring for the time being.

At this time, Chen An felt that his mind was in a trance, so he withdrew the Purple Pole True Eye, what he did just now was not only to look for a flash of black shadow, but also to be proficient in this extraordinary talent while using it.

Hearing the sound from under the table, Chen An smiled slightly, then tilted his head and said:

"Shadow play, it's a rarity, I'll go see it too. ”

Then he looked at the female palace master who was still looking into the distance, and said lightly:

"By the way, why don't you go check it out? ”

The female palace master turned her head to look at Chen An, and her face was suddenly shocked, in her eyes, Chen An's was like a golden sun, bright but gentle. So he hurriedly put away his purple true eyes, looked at the handsome young man in purple robe in front of him, nodded unexpectedly, and agreed.

Chen An was a little surprised, then nodded, said hello to the shopkeeper, and then followed the sword slave to leave. After a slight hesitation, the woman turned around and took the wine jug that Chen An had drunk and put it in the storage ring, which made the excited shopkeeper on the side cry out in his heart and take a step slower.

Seeing this scene, Chen An couldn't help but think of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival that he visited Ping'an City with Damao a few months ago, but today he was in a foreign land, and Damao was not around. Some touched the scene and sighed softly.

"Why sigh. ”

The demure woman beside her turned her head sideways and asked, her gentle side face looked very graceful under the reflection of the light, and her delicate figure was well wrapped under the plain white long skirt, but there was a unique and amazing beauty.

Chen An looked at the woman in front of him who was as stunning as Yan Xuan and Qingyu in appearance, but whose temperament was like Zhilan, and said with a slight smile:

"Touching the scene, I remembered my hometown. ”

The women's palace master nodded and said softly:

"When you are in a foreign land, you will inevitably feel homesick. However, as a Purple Sky Patrolman, it is difficult for you to have a long time with relatives and friends, and you need to get used to it. ”

Chen An smiled slightly, noncommittal, this woman who served as the master of the first palace at a young age and was able to suppress ten transcendent realm cultivators, all she thought about was her duty, but she lacked some human interest.

Such a woman is certainly a blessing to the people of the city, but it is also a personal misfortune. But Zi Feiyu, Chen An shook his head, no longer thinking about these superfluous thoughts, and looked not far away.

There were already many people around, most of them children, crouching on the ground and looking with interest at the man with the white curtain in front of them. There are adult men and women around, who are busy with the day's work, nominally accompanying their children to have a look, but in fact, they are quite interested.

The man, dressed in black and wearing a flower-faced mask, took out shadow puppets propped up on a wooden frame from the box on the ground, when a child onlooker said loudly:

"Uncle Luo, are you still telling the story of Cangyuan City today?"

The man known as Uncle Luo didn't say a word, nodded silently, and the children around him suddenly became excited and began to talk about each other.

Chen An's heart was shocked after hearing the three words Cangyuan City, and he stared at the man intently, and the man also glanced at Chen An as if he had unintentionally, and then lifted a gong and drum to walk behind the white curtain.

At the moment when the two looked at each other, Chen An suddenly had a familiar feeling, and he seemed to have some kind of guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure.

The shadow show was about to start, Huang Yijian squatted down early, in the middle of a group of children, there were not many people at this time, and the sword slave and Huang Tingxiu were standing a little outside. After seeing Chen An and the female palace master, the sword slave hurriedly beckoned and motioned for them to come over quickly.

The women's palace master looked at the gradually dense crowd in front of him, hesitated slightly, and was about to refuse, but was pulled over by Chen An on the side. Although she was holding her sleeves, she still had an inexplicable feeling, and she did not feel discomfort and disgust.

Chen An was worried that there were too many people, so he applied a filth to the second daughter's body, and after getting a little closer, it would be bounced away, and the scoundrel who wanted to squeeze up when he saw the second girl's slender posture was sensed by an invisible wall. Then he looked frightened and ran out in a panic.

The shadow play began at this time, and the light of the lights appeared behind the white curtain, and in the center of the curtain, there was a shadow puppet with a city wall pattern, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, and only the man behind the curtain could hear a low shout:

"Purple qi came to the east to send him to life, abandoning his mortal body to enter the netherworld. ”

Immediately afterwards, a man's shadow puppet came from the left, the shadow puppet was first manipulated from far to near, in the eyes of others, it was from large to small, and then fixed at the shadow of the city wall, and suddenly became clear, it was a middle-aged man in black robes with a mighty appearance.

Chen An's eyes narrowed slightly, but the man's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Na Luo Xiongtu, and then a purple-robed young man walked from the far left, which was somewhat similar to Zi Wufeng.

I can only hear the person behind the curtain manipulating the shadow puppet on the left and singing in a playful voice:

"You asked me to find the Savage Temple, and I found it without incident, and passed the test. But if this Lord of Mora had known about this, he would have killed me in the future, and what should I do? ”

The shadow puppet on the right laughed:

"City lord, don't panic, I'll give you a plan to keep it for you to get out safely. ”

The shadow puppet on the left was surprised:

"What a plan, please come quickly. ”

At this time, there was a beat of gongs and drums, and the shadow puppet hand on the right danced, and then said:

"The Lord of Namora punished you because you gave birth to two hearts and did not manage Cangyuan City well, but you became a disciple of the Desolate Palace, so that Cangyuan City was deprived of the Holy Envoy. But if you pretend to be dead, even the Lord of Namora has nothing to do, and then you can rest easy. ”

After speaking, the shadow on the right receded, and the shadow of the city wall in the center changed and became the room. The shadow puppet of the middle-aged man on the left walked into the room, and then said:

"Shadow, Shadow, you have followed me for many years, and now I have something for you to do, you can agree. ”

As soon as the words fell, under the feet of the middle-aged man's shadow puppet, from blurry to clear, another dark figure appeared, and the figure replied:

"I serve you as Lord, and I will obey your commands. ”

The middle-aged man's shadow puppet patted the black figure on the shoulder, then quickly blurred and exited the curtain.

Then the figure turned around, but it was the middle-aged man, and the onlookers let out an exclamation, and the gongs and drums sounded again, becoming a little excited.

The background of the room changed again, changing back to the city wall, and then a row of shadow figures in the shape of soldiers appeared behind the middle-aged man, and on both sides appeared shadow figures with large knives and weapons in their hands.

Next, under the accompaniment of passionate gongs and drums, the middle-aged man's shadow puppet led the small soldier and the shadow puppet of the villain on both sides to start the battle.

Finally, when the middle-aged man's shadow puppet defeated all the enemies, the purple-robed shadow puppet appeared and said to the middle-aged man's shadow:

"Have you forgotten our plans. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards the purple-robed shadow, but he was killed in front of a group of soldiers. Then a huge monster with a hideous appearance suddenly sprang out from under the city wall, and the monster raised its fists to pound the city wall.

was stopped by a shadow puppet in a black robe who couldn't see his face clearly, and shouted:

"Enough, I'm dead. ”

The purple-robed shadow puppet sat on the shoulder of the monster shadow puppet, and said with a smile:

"I lied to you in the beginning, just to control this monster, and now that you have no shadow and half of your strength, go and die. ”

After speaking, he controlled the monster and the middle-aged man's battle, this section was also extremely exciting, accompanied by the high-pitched fast play of gongs and drums, the purple-robed shadow puppet and the monster shadow puppet fought with the middle-aged man's shadow puppet.

In the end, the middle-aged man's shadow puppet was invincible, and he was heavily beaten on his body, and a black hole appeared at the bottom of the back, sucking the middle-aged man's shadow puppet and the soldiers' shadow puppets into it.

Then all the shadow puppets disappeared, the light went out, and the shadow show ended, and the onlookers all shouted and threw money at the feet of the man who walked out.

The man didn't pick it up, but thanked everyone and silently packed up his things. At this moment, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Huang Yijian was also a little unsatisfied, squatting on the ground for a long time and not getting up.

Chen An walked up to the man and said with a slight smile:

"Have we seen it before. ”

The man's eyes looked at Chen An for a long time, and he replied lightly:

"Probably so. ”

Chen An laughed, then turned around and walked away, and the female palace master said curiously:

"What did you say? ”

Chen An looked at her and chuckled:

I asked him if he could teach me, and he said that I was so beautiful that people would only pay attention to my face, but no one would look at shadow puppetry, so he rejected me. ”

The women's palace master glanced at Chen An and snorted lightly:

"No face, no skin. ”

At this time, Chen An suddenly felt something, and looked up at an attic, on the fence above the attic, there was a young man in purple and gold robes looking at him with a smile.

Chen An turned his head to look at Huang Yijian and asked:

"Little girl, do you want to eat again? ”

Huang Yijian touched his stomach and nodded again and again. Chen An laughed, took her hand, and walked towards the door behind him.

Jian Nu and Huang Tingxiu followed behind him, the female palace master frowned slightly, glanced in the direction Chen An had looked at before, looked stunned, and then followed in surprise.
