Chapter 693: Initial Intention
My ancestors, who paid the price of countless ancestral blood, were not allowed to live after death, and only then did they suppress the soul of the evil dragon. My father confessed to me before he was invaded by the evil qi and lost his mind," Yichang said here, pausing, "Don't forget your original intention. β
The faces of the other people behind him all showed sadness, and some even let out soft sobs, and the atmosphere seemed a little sad, obviously everyone was moved by Yichang's words and remembered the past of the year.
Only at this time, these people who looked dull and gloomy in the Yulun Realm had a trace of 'popularity'.
"Did you forget?" When Song Qingxiao heard this, he asked Yichang.
Her words made Yichang stunned.
A hint of melancholy flashed across the face of the unfathomable young man, but he quickly controlled his emotions.
"Originally, my ancestors didn't forget, but the people outside did."
He replied evasively, but Song Qingxiao smiled and insisted on asking:
"I'm asking, have you forgotten your original intention?"
Yichang's delicate eyebrows furrowed, but then he let go again, and instead of answering Song Qingxiao's question, he asked rhetorically:
"What about you, Miss Song? Have you ever forgotten your original intention? β
After asking this, Yichang's eyes were like a falcon, and he stared firmly at Song Qingxiao's face, as if he was capturing her every subtle expression.
"Me?" Song Qingxiao asked softly, Yichang nodded, and she said:
"Try to remind yourself not to forget."
Her answer was unexpected, which made Yichang a little surprised, but before he could speak, he heard Song Qingxiao continue:
"As time goes by, things happen, something will always change with the environment, and you have to compromise in order to survive." When she said this, she glanced at Yichang meaningfully:
"But if you become too much, you may end up losing something precious and end up being unrecognizable, contrary to your original goal."
When Yichang heard this, he looked stunned.
His shoulders and neck were straight, and at this moment he seemed to have been drained of strength, and he collapsed, and the whole person looked like he was a little lost and depressed.
But his gaffe was only for a moment, and he quickly realized it, and the next moment he raised his head again, trying to make a proud, calm appearance.
But this kind of calmness is different from his previous blandness, with some embarrassment after being broken, as if the secrets and thoughts in his heart are clearly seen, and the whole person has nothing to hide.
"Thank you, Miss Song, for your advice."
He barely smiled, and his folded hands were raised in a salute.
"It's a rare moon and stars to shine tonight, it's really good weather." It's just that after a momentary trance, this big man with a unique identity in the Yulun Void Realm quickly put on the previous polite mask again:
"The danger has been swept away, and the two of you can enjoy this precious night view tonight, and there will be no danger."
When he said this, his ink-black eyes couldn't help but show a hint of expectation, sweeping away the gloom of the past mentioned before:
"We don't have much fun here, tonight is just the right time, my people are still waiting for me, Miss Song, I'm missing first."
Yichang said this, and turned his head to look to the other side.
On the other side of the corridor, at some point, there were already a large number of people in black skirts, all gathered on the bank, some with lanterns in their hands, staring vigilantly and uneasily.
They have been here for a while, and they have come here one after another since Yichang and Song Qingxiao mentioned the rumors.
It's just that these people didn't make a sound, but waited quietly, staring at Song Qingxiao and Xiang Si who were in mid-air with hostile eyes.
The faces of the people behind Yichang showed anxious and expectant looks, but because Yichang was talking to Song Qingxiao, no one dared to speak out.
After he moved at this moment, the faces of the others showed joy, and even the people who had been crying quietly before also broke into tears and laughed at this time, and followed Yichang to the clansmen on the other side of the riverbank.
"That's right."
Yichang took two steps, stopped his movements, and suddenly turned around:
"Miss Song."
As soon as he stopped, the others followed suit, and turned around in his own way.
Song Qingxiao also turned his head to look at him, and Yichang said:
"I heard Chu Rong say, you mentioned it a few days ago, and you want to go into the temple to have a look?"
As soon as he said this, the aura of Xiangsi on the side suddenly changed, and a dark light flashed in Song Qingxiao's eyes, nodded, and responded:
"Yes."
A meaningful smile appeared on Yichang's face:
"That's just right, this temple has not been opened for many years, and now it coincides with the arrival of distinguished guests, it is really fate, five days later, we have plans to reopen the holy temple, and then invite the two of you to come."
Song Qingxiao also bent the corners of her mouth and responded:
"Okay."
Yichang nodded to her as if he had received a promise, and then left with a smile.
This time he didn't look back, and the people of the Yulun Realm stood at the end of the lake to welcome him back.
An old man handed him a lantern expectantly, and he took it, and the old man smiled with satisfaction on his face and let out a small cheer of joy.
At this time, the faces of the people in the Yulun Realm did not have the gloomy color that Song Qingxiao had seen a few days ago, but showed a rare innocence, as if a child had been praised by an adult, and that feeling was really weird.
Everyone surrounded Yichang in the middle, and then someone began to sing.
As soon as the song sounded, Xiang Si was still a little nervous at first, thinking of the kind of strange forbidden power he heard in the afternoon and evening, and when he saw all the people in the Yulun Void Realm gathering together and singing loudly, he was also worried that a vision would happen.
But this time, when the people of the Yulun Realm sang again, the powerful power of the strange prohibition did not appear again.
The nine springs were quiet, as if as Yichang said, as Qinglu's body was pulled into the lake by the black cloth, and also sank into the lake.
First, a few people from the Yulun Realm sang, then some middle-aged people, old people, and then Chu Rong.
Everyone surrounded Yichang in the middle, and everyone carried lanterns and walked forward.
Under the starry night, the song was full of satisfaction and joy, as if tonight was a truly joyful event for the people of Yulun Realm.
Song Qingxiao has been here for several days, even if the so-called distinguished guests such as Fan Wu came last night, the 'Dragon King Sacrifice' is about to happen again, these people have been carnivaling for half a night, but the joy is the same as the joy at this time.
They're really happy, but what's it for?
Because of the dew? Or is the temple about to open, and the real 'Dragon King Festival' will be held five days later?
Orβ
Song Qingxiao looked up at the sky, the moon was in the sky tonight, and the starlight was dense, it was a rare good weather.
Yichang said that they didn't have much fun, could it be that their singing at this time was to enjoy this rare night of stars and moons?
Among the rumors of Pinluo and others, the Yulun Void Realm is the residence of the gods, and the immortals live there;
In Uncle Xiang's heart, Yulun Void is the sojourn of his dreams, and it is a place where he can realize his lifelong wishes, so he does not hesitate to abandon his humanity and make a deal with Yichang, and every three years, he ruthlessly sends a girl into here to hold a sacrificial ceremony.
What is interesting is that in Yichang's mind, the Yulun Realm that mortals yearn for is like a difficult predicament set by the Yellow Emperor himself, trapping their clansmen.
The 'Immortal Holy Land' beyond the Three Realms that Uncle Xiang longed for, but it was a cage that the Yichang people could not break through, and they were trapped here for generations, calming the evil qi brought by the evil dragon spirit, and being corroded by that evil qi, watching the clansmen die from generation to generation, but they couldn't do anything.
There are strange prohibitions here, which are difficult for outsiders to snoop on, and they can't get out.
Transcending the Three Realms means that there is no wind, no rain, no sunlight, no alternation of heat and cold.
The people trapped in it have survived from generation to generation, and for ordinary people, the four seasons at their fingertips may be cherished to them.
These 'immortals' who can break out of the cocoon and be reborn and go through reincarnation again and again, I am afraid that in the 'Dragon King Festival' once every three years, there will be a time for the demonic energy to be suppressed again during the season of cleaning up the yin spirit.
When the fog clears, revealing a sky full of stars, so that they can see the stars, it will make these people realize that they may be like ordinary people at this moment, and they are still really living in this world.
At that time, the warriors who followed the Yellow Emperor to slay the dragon were dead, time had passed, and the world had changed, but only the same night sky would not change.
If this is the case, then for Yichang and them, this moment is really precious, no wonder they are so happy.
Those who have mastered the method of immortality and broken the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, but they are happy to appreciate this ordinary starry sky.
What a contradiction!
"Are they really gone?"
Xiang Si's eyes fell on the people in the Yulun Realm, who were already carrying lanterns, singing, hugging Yichang, their footsteps like beating beats, singing an ancient lyrics, circling between the peach forests, and moving away one after another.
"I don't think I'll be coming back."
Song Qingxiao replied, and slowly withdrew the Heaven Destroying Sword in his hand into his body.
"How do you know?" Xiang Si heard the certainty in her words, and couldn't help but glance at her curiously.
This ally has a strange feeling on her body that Xiang Si can't fathom, saying that she is soft-hearted, but when she kills Ma 1, 2 and Fan 5, she can act quickly, without dragging her feet, and then kill the resurrected Ma 1 and 2, etc., without showing any mercy.
To say that she is ruthless, but she is extremely tolerant of the ordinary people in the trial scene of Pinluo.
The two contradictions focused on her, which made Xiangsi both frightened and curious.
"Guess." Song Qingxiao replied casually to Xiang Si.
After a conversation between her and Yichang, a strange agreement was made between the two parties.
Since the real 'Dragon King Sacrifice' was five days later, the two conveniences did not tear their faces at this time.
Song Qingxiao's gaze fell on the surface of the lake, the lake water has calmed, as Yichang said, with the return of the 'Dragon Princess', the demonic qi in the lake has been confined by half, and the yin qi on the lake surface has been much lighter at this time, making this small world independent of the Three Realms really show a bit of a sense of tranquility that is out of the world.
Xiang Si was a little speechless at her answer, but he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart:
"You say, Qinglu really turned into a calming qi and merged with Jiuquan?"
"It should be."
Qinglu died unexpectedly, and her resentment was very deep, this is where she was buried, if she is still conscious, she should have some reaction when she hears Xiangsi's words.
But at this time, there is only a gentle breeze that blows the peach petals in the sky, and the water waves are stirred, flashing out a piece of light waves like fish scales, which is extraordinarily beautiful, and it is completely unimaginable, and this place is still full of yin and air before, like a hell on earth.
The aura of the yin soul had completely disappeared, and Song Qingxiao and Xiang Si both noticed that the cloth that was originally tied to the peach tree during the day had disappeared.
Presumably, these strips of black cloth cut from Yichang and the others were the things that restrained Qinglu and dragged her back into the water before.
In other words, every three years, the 'Dragon King Festival' requires the ritual of the Dragon Princess's 'return to the door'.
What is the reason for the revival of the Shadows? I'm afraid it's to completely restrain her and make it difficult for her to turn over!
Suppose that before Qinglu was in Shentang, she drank the black blood released by the people in the Yulun Void Realm, and the purpose of this black blood was to transform her physique so that she could fit the demonic energy of Jiuquan.
Therefore, during the day, after the dew fell into the water, the demonic qi in Jiuquan seemed to be attracted by her, and she drilled into her body, and she was able to accommodate such a large amount of demonic qi with the body of an ordinary person, and she did not explode and die, you can imagine the power of the blood that was fed to her.
And those cloths hanging on the door of the house and the peach tree are woven by the body of the Yichang people who belong to the Yulun Void Realm in the process of experiencing reincarnation, and it is itself formed by Yin Qi, and its purpose should not be to trap Qinglu's body, but to trap her soul.
Therefore, she was restrained after death, when the Yin Soul 'returned to the door', and dragged her into the water and merged with the Nine Springs.
"What's in the water?"
When Xiangsi thought of this, he felt that something was wrong.
During the day, Yichang presided over the 'Dragon King Festival', when the lake was boiling and the demonic energy was extremely strong, he had a gentle expression and comforted him with extremely strange language.
Now that I think about it, he doesn't look like he's vigilant, but rather like he's soothing a restless child.
If Yichang knew what the underwater existence was, and was not wary or afraid of them, maybe there was some connection between the two.
Combined with the legend told by Yichang before, Xiangsi thought of a possibility:
"You say, will the Dragon King be in the water?"
Legend has it that nine evil dragons endangered the world, and the Yellow Emperor led the warriors to kill the evil dragons and seal them here in order to save the common people.
After killing the harmful Nine Dragons Black Dragon, in order to prevent the evil dragon's ghost from lingering, he specially ordered the warrior clan who slain the dragon with him to move his family to guard this place and become the soul messenger here.
But in the passage of time, this clan died one after another in the erosion of the dragon soul.
It's the last two days of February~~~
Actually, it's not easy for me to stick to it this month.,This book has been written in a semi-recuperating style since the beginning of the book.,In fact, it's been a semi-recuperation write.,The amount of updates is not large.,It's a very relaxed degree.γ
In this way, for me, in fact, the pressure is quite small, and I have more time to organize my thoughts, and I don't have to spell out updates for the sake of quantity and word count.
But after working hard again this month, I feel a little struggling... Maybe I'm older (fake),I prefer a more comfortable lifestyle.,After finding that there are more updates.,Problems also come a little bit one after another.γγγ
The tightness of time sometimes makes me feel that I may be on a certain plot.,Can't think about it more seriously.,Sometimes it's not written correctly.,There will be re-revision.,Even a large rewrite...
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
So after all that, I just want to sell a miserable monthly pass...
