Chapter 734: Pinluo (This chapter is the end of the Easter egg, you can skip if you are not interested in Easter eggs)
The successive appearances of the Heishui River, the Nine Dragon Grottoes, and the Yulun Realm are not only of great significance to the history and culture of the empire, but also because the legend of the Nine Dragons has become a reality, it has also attracted the attention of many hidden clans and characters.
A large number of forces rushed here, wanting to find the existence of Yichang, Song Qingxiao, Xiangsi, and Fan Wu from Pinluokou.
However, Yichang and the others disappeared out of thin air, except for finding the trajectory of their life here a month ago, this group of people seemed to 'disappear' out of thin air.
Even if the people of the empire searched through the household registration and searched repeatedly, they did not find the existence of Song Qingxiao and Xiangsi as mentioned in Pinluo's mouth.
If it weren't for the fact that many of what he said had been confirmed, I would have doubted the veracity of what he said.
Qinglu's parents also recovered their daughter's body at the bottom of the lake - she had only sunk into the lake not long ago, and the demonic energy of Jiuquan had preserved the integrity of her body, so that when she was salvaged out of the water, she still retained her appearance before her death, and the body was not decomposed.
When she was salvaged, as Pinro said, she still maintained the appearance of seventeen or eighteen, as if ten years had not left a mark on her, and she was dressed as a bride, as if she had just fallen asleep.
The bottom of the spring was also salvaged, and there were some other corpses, but after their ghosts merged with the Nine Springs, the corpses were decomposed, waiting to be extracted and examined to confirm their identities.
And Uncle Xiang was nowhere to be seen, Ah Xin and the two of them were probably at the moment when the Yulun Realm changed, and they should have been torn apart by this mysterious force, and the rescue team did not find their traces.
There is no trace of life in this place, and the two men are supposed to be dead.
It's just that behind such an official statement, there is also a kind of rumor and speculation.
According to Pinro, combined with the verification of scientists, there are still traces of a large number of life activities in this place a month ago, and these houses were damaged within a month, so it is conceivable that a major event should have occurred here.
It's just that such a big movement is enough to destroy the buildings here, but there is no sense outside the Nine Dragons Caves, so it can be inferred that there may be some kind of magical prohibition here, isolating this place from the outside world, which should also be the main reason why the Nine Dragons Caves could not enter and exit before.
It is speculated from Pinluo's dream that such a big event cannot be ruled out as the work of the rumored evil dragon.
Pinluo was forcibly 'sent away' by the people of the Churong faction that day, and it may have happened on the day after he left, and it is very likely that Yichang and the others who lived here left this place after killing the evil dragon and returned to their 'hometown', and Uncle Xiang and the two missing teenagers who accompanied him may also be with them.
There are all kinds of speculations, and each of them seems to have a basis for convincing the other party.
The magnetic field of the Yulun Realm, the damaged buildings, the bones of the women of the Soul Suppression clan, and the traces left by the lives of Yichang and others are all great treasures for the empire.
Although there are still some mysteries in this case that have not been solved, Pinluo has made great contributions to the search for the Yulun Realm, and the empire intends to award him and is willing to allocate and reuse him.
This was a good thing that the former youth could never have dreamed of.
But at this time, in the face of such a reward, Pinluo's heart remembered the day he left the Yulun Realm, Song Qingxiao said to him with a smile: "After you go back, you can realize your wish and become a tour guide." β
That was his original intention, and from the moment he followed Uncle Xiang on the boat, he planned to do so.
If there were no later adventures, according to his previous conjecture, it would be to follow Uncle Xiang into the Nine Dragons Caves, and after knowing the way, he used his own tongue to explain the story of the Nine Dragons Caves and the Yellow Emperor's killing of the Nine Dragons to the outsiders who came here.
Save some money, see the scenery, and then find a sense of accomplishment from the amazing faces of these outsiders, marry a wife in the future, start a family, and let grandma hold her grandchildren and live her ordinary and ordinary life.
The people in the civic center looked at him with envy, his contribution to this trip was too great, it attracted the attention of many parties, and it may be a great future to soar.
As soon as he agrees, everything is ready over there, just waiting for him to take office.
Such a good thing could not be begged for, and the official of the civic center did not expect that he would be distracted after hearing these words.
Even after a while, he shook his head, as if he had made an extremely important decision:
"I'm not going."
"Huh?" His answer was shocking and much to the surprise of the Civic Center official, but Pinro was even more determined, and said with a smile:
"I'm not going, if you want to reward me, you can give me a tour guide card."
After this incident, the Yulun Void Realm Empire knew about it.
The relationship between Yichang and his wife also spread throughout the empire with the discovery of the Yulun Void Realm, and countless versions were derived.
With the departure of Yichang and others, the prohibition of this place is exhausted, the Nine Dragon Grottoes are no longer a forbidden place, and the Yulun Fantasy Realm will one day be unveiled, and the city hall will continue the planned project decades ago in the future to build this place into a tourist attraction.
There is a lack of a tour guide here, and there is no one more suitable than him.
Ten years later, Yulun Wonderland was developed into a local tourist area, just as Pinluo had originally thought.
The legend of this place, the large number of female corpses unearthed and the mysterious Nine Dragon Caves suddenly became a tourist holy place that people in the whole empire yearn for.
Those names that have gradually faded out of people's field of vision over the years have reappeared on people's lips with the official opening of the Yulun Realm.
Song Qingxiao, Xiangsi, Yichang and Churong once again became the hot topic of discussion.
The bizarre disappearance of the two girls, whether Uncle Xiang and Ah Xin are alive or dead, and the whereabouts of Yichang and others who resisted the evil dragon in the Yulun Void Realm but held the 'Dragon King Festival' are still unsolved.
Today's Yulun Realm has been restored, and most of it was built according to Pinluo's memory.
He wore the same sleeveless shoulder shirt as Song Qingxiao and others when they came all the way that day, wrapped his head in a sweat scarf, led the first batch of tourists, and slowly entered the Yulun Realm from Jiuquan.
The gazebo had been restored, and even the peach trees next to it had been replanted, exactly as he had seen when he first came in.
In the distance were restored wooden houses, the towering temple stood out, and the grooves in the stone walls were the same as when he first saw them.
Pinro was stunned for a moment, until he was awakened by the cheers of a young girl in the same boat:
"It's beautiful!"
This place is indeed beautiful, the soul of the evil dragon was destroyed, after Yichang and the others disappeared, the prohibition shrouded in this place was opened, the sunlight dispelled the fog in the Yulun Void in his memory, and the houses and temples were bathed in the blue sky and white clouds, clean and clear.
With water in his eyes, the girl had already slapped him:
"Tour guide, where were you when you saw Lord Yichang?"
"There." Pinluo pressed the memory in his heart, blinked the water vapor in his eyes, and pointed his hand in the direction of the gazebo:
"When I came with Miss Song and Uncle Xiang, Lord Yichang was leading a group of clansmen to greet us......"
He started from the day when he entered the Nine Dragon Caves, mentioned the surprise and horror when he first saw Yichang, and then from the conversation between Yichang and Uncle Xiang, he mentioned the acquaintance between Uncle Xiang and Yichang 67 years ago.
Pinluo is still the character who speaks wherever he thinks of it, but no one can bear to interrupt him at this time.
His words turned to 67 years ago, Uncle Xiang and his son were ordered to enter the Nine Dragon Caves, met the 'female ghost' in the Yulun Void Realm, and saved Uncle Xiang's life at a critical moment, and had the first acquaintance between Uncle Xiang and Yichang.
Just as he promised in his dream, in his own way, he told the outside world about the situation of the people in the Yulun Void Realm about what he 'promised' Yichang in his dream ten years ago:
"Our local area was harmed by the evil dragon in the early years, and it was pacified by the ancestors of Yichang, but the ghost of the evil dragon is not gone, and the intention is to be evil. Yichang and others have been living here in order to guard the evil dragon and the ghost, and the so-called 'dragon king sacrifice' is a method in their tribe to delay time in order to appease the ghost. β
He replaced what he saw that day in the story with something that Qinglu 'told' him in his dream, saying that Yichang and the others were separated by husband and wife, reincarnated, and waiting for the opportunity.
Soon, Pinluo seemed to realize that he was off topic, and went back to the 'Dragon King Festival' mentioned in Chu Rong when they met for the first time.
ββ¦β¦ I tried to save Qinglu, but I didn't move well that night, and I was soon bumped into by someone, but fortunately something big happened that night......"
Pinro's mouth was very eloquent, and the experience of the past was told from his mouth, and the people on the ship were fascinated by it.
"After the 'Dragon King Festival', I was restless and felt that something was happening......"
He said that Fan Wu suddenly appeared, and the bloody corpses were besieged that night, and Song Qingxiao summoned the ice dragon to appear, beheaded Fan Wu, and Qinglu 'returned to the door'.
The story has ups and downs, but as soon as he tells it, it is a little more real, which adds a bit of empathy and horror to the people on the same boat.
On the night of the real 'Dragon King Festival', Yichang and the others couldn't wait any longer, and Chu Rong sent him out of the Yulun Void Realm and said goodbye to Song Qingxiao before leaving.
He invited Uncle Xiang, Ah Xin and others to accompany him, but the three of them were greedy for immortality and were unwilling to go back.
In the end, he was the only one who got on the boat alone, encountered a storm in the back, and met Qinglu when he was dying, rescued by her, and sent out of the Nine Dragons Cave.
The story is full of ups and downs, and it is fascinating.
"Did the bones of those women sink to the bottom of the lake to guard the dragons?"
After a long time, a young girl exhaled a long breath and regained her thoughts from Pinro's story:
"Finally, Lord Yichang, have you met with his wife?"
"One is still alive and the other is dead, how can we meet?" Another person asked, and the girl immediately retorted:
"Why not? Doesn't the tour guide also meet Qinglu after death? β
The rebutted fell silent, and Pinro smiled:
"Maybe we've met." After all, the corpses that should have sunk to the bottom of the lake have surfaced after the evil dragon ghost has dispersed, and the couple, who were forcibly separated when they were alive, may meet at the end?
"Who knows?" He muttered, perhaps someone knewβ
Song Qingxiao.
Such a figure welled up in Pinro's mind, and those memories that he hadn't forgotten for many years came to his mind, making him smile warmly.
He was also a tour guide, just like when he explained to her that day, as she said, although this kind of life is not very promising, at least it is safe and smooth.
That's all that matters!
β¦β¦
Song Qingxiao didn't know about this follow-up, after 'farewell' to Yichang and the others, after she got the secret technique of the Demon Beast from Xiang Si, Xiang Si wanted to make friends with her, and when she was about to report to her home, she was forcibly taken out of the trial space by the Divine Prison.
She put Xiang Si's words behind her, and after returning to her temporary shelter after leaving the trial space, Song Qingxiao even sank her consciousness into the exchange interface of the trial space.
In the exchange interface, sure enough, a glittering 'soldier' word order appeared.
Nine-character secret order.
The moment Song Qingxiao saw the word 'soldier', his face showed joy.
This thing should be the reason why her divine sense was induced that day, and it is precisely because of this that there is a group of Yulun Void Realm behind.
On the night of the battle with Fan Wusan, No. 2 cast a nine-character secret order to meet the enemy, and Song Qingxiao was very surprised at that time.
It is not easy to collect the Nine-Character Secret Order, and different Character Orders have different meanings, but each time one more Character Order is collected, the power of the remaining Nine-Character Secret Orders will increase exponentially.
She already has the three orders of 'Pro', 'Person', and 'Front', and if you add the word 'Bing', the nine-character secret order has already collected four characters.
Song Qingxiao immediately chose to redeem it, but the moment she touched the word 'soldier' with her divine sense, there was a response from the trial space: There were not enough points!
For Song Qingxiao, this news was like pouring a basin of cold water on her head, she never thought that the nine-character secret order that she had finally come across would be unable to be exchanged because of insufficient points.
When the divine sense touched the word 'soldier', it showed that 20,000 points needed to be deducted, and in the sea of her consciousness, the balance of points was displayed: 10,000.
'Shhh Song Qingxiao gasped, remembering that his points had been used to open the Divine Realm after the last Nuwa Heaven Mending Task was over, and there was no trickle left.
After the completion of this trial, she and Xiangsi each received a reward of 10,000 points, because this mission was very fruitful, so she did not take the reward of this point to heart, resulting in the lack of half of the points when she wanted to redeem the 'soldier' word order at this time.
"......" Song Qingxiao was speechless at this moment.
She had already begun to regret why she didn't kill Fan Wu at that time and win the reward.
Su Wu sensed her depression in the soul, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Poor? β
When he appeared at this moment, Song Qingxiao always felt that there was a sense of schadenfreude in the tone of his voice.
The word 'soldier' makes her never give up, the nine-character secret order itself is not easy to collect, it is very useful to her, if she misses it today, if she wants to collect it again in the future, she doesn't know what year and month it is, but at this time, the gap in points is too big, and after getting out of the trial space, it will be useless to regret it.
"Smash the pot and sell iron." Su Wu made a suggestion.
He may have said this just to ridicule, but at this time, his suggestion was tantamount to a desperate sewing for Song Qingxiao.
"The seniors are right!" Her eyes lit up, and she swept away the frustration when she had not had enough points before.
