Chapter 192: Heart-Warming Formation
The three of them stood on the huge empty square, the cold wind whistling through the ancient city gate, with an eternal desolate atmosphere, this mysterious and ancient fairy city, I don't know how many years it has been deserted. As far as the eye can see, it is all mottled and decadent, and it is lifeless, only the tall and majestic city wall, as if it still tells the glory of the past.
Mingyue looked at the ruins of the city wall, and for some reason her heart was sour, and tears fell down in a pour.
Why did she feel so familiar? It was as if she had been here a long, long time ago.
However, she had never been here, so why did she feel so sad?
Feng Tingcheng noticed her abnormality, held her hand and asked, "Xiao'er, why are you crying?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
Mingyue shook her head, wiped away the cold tears on her face and said, "Brother Nine, I don't know what's going on, I feel extremely sad to see this place so desolate." ”
Feng Chengcheng shook her hand and comforted, "Or, I'll wait here later, and I'll go in and explore?" ”
Mingyue shook her head and said, "No, Brother Jiu, I want to go in with you." ”
Feng Chengcheng said: "Could it be that Penglai Immortal City is just an empty city now?" ”
Shui Yanxi looked at the Penglai Immortal Kingdom in front of her, with a puzzled expression on her face. He always felt that he had been here before, but there was no trace of it in his memory. Mingyue was able to break into here in a daze, maybe she has something to do with here?
Shui Yanxi said slowly: "Penglai Immortal Island is a small world created by the ancient gods with great mana, and it is the place where the gods live, and this was once the place where the ancient gods Fuxi Emperor thrived. ”
"At that time, Penglai Immortal Island was still Penglai Immortal Country, which was an enchantment of its own, suspended above the 50,000 miles of clouds on the coast of the East China Sea, and it was a real paradise and a holy place of the gods independent of the human race and the demon race."
"Although there are not many descendants of the gods living on Penglai Immortal Island, this place gathers the aura of all things in heaven and earth, and it is a blessed land for cultivating immortals. Unexpectedly, more than 100,000 years have passed, but this Penglai Immortal Island has become an ownerless empty city. Floating on the coast of the East China Sea, it can only appear in the human world at random. Perhaps, there will be fewer opportunities in this life in the future. ”
Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng were silent when they heard this, Penglai Immortal Island has been a holy place that the world looks up to since ancient times, but they didn't expect that there are so many origin stories in it.
Mingyue asked suspiciously, "Shui Yanxi, why do you know so much?" ”
Shui Yanxi said vaguely: "I read it from ancient books." ”
In fact, since he had the memories of the Demon Emperor, many things had returned to his mind intermittently.
Feng Chengcheng glanced at Shui Yanxi and said to Mingyue: "I don't know if there is any danger behind the city gate, we will act together and take care of each other." If we disperse, remember to meet at the gates. Legend has it that the enchantment of Penglai Immortal Island is opened every thousand years, and the maintenance time is closed for a month, and we have a month. ”
"What if we can't go back?" Mingyue asked worriedly, "Aren't you going to stay here forever?" ”
Feng Qingcheng touched her head and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you can't go back, as long as you are together, you will be happy anywhere." ”
Feng Qingcheng held Mingyue's hand tightly, and Mingyue showed a determined look on her face: "Okay, as long as you are with Brother Jiu, you will be happy anywhere." ”
Shui Yanxi snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, there is also the deity." ”
However, Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng pulled hand in hand
Hands were held tightly together, no one paid attention to him, he was very depressed and uncomfortable, feeling as if he had been abandoned, and he was indescribably depressed.
At this moment, the thick golden pillar of light behind the city gate reappeared, projecting through the golden and cascading buildings, all the way to the sky, illuminating the entire city gate.
However, the golden pillar of light made the whole city even more lifeless, as if it had been abandoned from the dusty ruins of the eternal years, and it was so depressing that it made people breathless.
It's like a city that has been abandoned for a long time, and the lights are brilliant, but there is no living thing, which makes people feel very strange.
The three of them looked at each other and looked behind the mysterious city gates. The wind blew from behind the city gates, making a strange whining noise, and the cold air on the people's bodies was blowing.
Mingyue's heart was furious, and she was so frightened that she grabbed Feng Qicheng's arm. Feng Qingcheng patted Mingyue's hand and signaled her to feel at ease.
The three of them cautiously walked through the city gate, which was tall and wide enough for several carriages to pass side by side.
However, the stone bricks on the city gate are mottled and peeled off, and the potholes are pitted, and I don't know how many years of baptism it has experienced. The stone bricks paved on the ground are even more weathered, showing traces of time everywhere.
The whole street looks extremely prosperous, however, the dilapidated walls, decadent plaques, and deep dust all reveal a lifeless atmosphere, and there is no trace of fireworks here, it looks desolate and deserted, as if it is an isolated desert.
Behind the gate was a wide white jade paved street, about a kilometer or two long from one end to the other.
The streets are lined with shops of all kinds, including restaurants, tea shops, cloth shops, fruit shops, and even a jade shop.
Mingyue suddenly had a strange thought in her heart, and she always felt that there should be a shop called "Zhangjia Bun Shop" here.
She subconsciously looked behind the jade shop, and sure enough, she saw a store called "Zhangjia Bun Shop", the door of that shop had fallen down, the paint on the door was mottled and peeling, and it was covered with thick dust.
The plaque of "Zhangjia Bun Shop" is made of pure gold, covered with a thick layer of ash, and has been forgotten by time for many years.
Mingyue felt a strange feeling in her heart, and she was also a little overwhelmed and panicked, she didn't understand why she had a hazy familiar feeling here.
She suddenly remembered, didn't her mother pick her up in Penglai Immortal Island? Could it be this mysterious ancient city in the sky?
Judging from the dilapidated scene here, it seems that there has been no sign of human activity here for thousands of years, so how did she appear on Penglai Immortal Island?
What kind of background does she have?
Who are her real parents?
……
All kinds of doubts suddenly popped up in her mind, she subconsciously touched the jade jue hanging around her neck, her heart jumped wildly, and a deep desire and expectation surged in her heart.
Perhaps, this accident was not accidental, and she already had some kind of mysterious connection with this place.
Mingyue was too excited in her heart, and her hands couldn't help but tremble.
Feng Tingcheng felt the trembling of her hands, turned around and comforted, "Follow me, don't be afraid." ”
Mingyue raised her face and smiled reluctantly, nodding obediently.
There is a strange wind blowing from the end of the street, with a smell that has been dusty for many years, which makes people feel extremely oppressive.
It was easy to reach a distance of about two kilometers, however, they walked along the street for a long time, for a long time, to the naked eye
The distance that can be seen seems to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it seems that it is still standing still.
All three of them noticed something strange about the street, and almost at the same time stopped, looking at the end of the street that was close in front of them but out of reach.
Feng Qingcheng took Mingyue's hand and said, "Xiao'er, follow closely, there seems to be something strange here." ”
Mingyue said: "Ninth brother, I also see that we don't seem to be moving forward, but we have obviously been walking for half an hour. ”
Shui Yanxi looked at the end of the street and said, "This street is arranged with a profound and exquisite formation, this kind of formation will trap people, if you can't get out, you will be trapped here for the rest of your life." ”
Feng Qingcheng asked suspiciously, "What formation?" ”
Shui Yanxi shook her head and said, "I don't remember it either, it seems to be called ...... Heart-warming formation, this kind of formation is more tricky, if you can't think of a way to crack it, you will be trapped here forever. ”
Mingyue looked at the dilapidated street shops on both sides of the street, and asked suspiciously, "The Heart-Warming Formation is so powerful?" If we can't get out, won't we stay here for the rest of our lives? ”
Feng Chengcheng said: "As long as we are together, it doesn't matter if we stay here, we can sell steamed buns here." ”
Mingyue sneered, with a shy look on her face: "There is no one here, so we sell steamed buns, who will buy them?" ”
Shui Yanxi said unhappily: "Am I not human? Hum. ”
Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng exchanged a complicated look, and the two held hands and walked to the other side, leaving Shui Yanxi with an annoyed face.
As the three of them were talking, the originally dilapidated street suddenly became bright and noisy, and I saw people coming and going on the street, shouting and selling, and it was very lively.
In front of the steamed bun shop, steaming hot buns, exuding a rich aroma, a gentle and amiable middle-aged woman is standing in front of the steamer, happily shouting: "Sell steamed buns, sell steamed buns, two steamed buns for a penny, thin skin and delicious stuffing." ”
An eldest lady, carrying a basket of eggs, walked to the corner of the street step by step, spread a flower cloth on the ground and sat down, and shouted tremblingly: "Sell eggs, sell eggs, four eggs for a penny, fresh eggs." ”
A young man in a short cloth shirt and carrying a basket full of bright red fruit was walking through the middle of the street.
A bridegroom, riding a tall horse, dressed in a big red shirt, with a big red flower on his chest and a big red flower pinned to his hat, was about to pick up the bride through the door, surrounded by a group of attendants who beat gongs and drums.
All sorts of people, with different expressions on their faces, are busy with their own business on the streets.
……
The three of them stood on the crowded street, stunned as they watched the dreamlike scene that suddenly appeared in front of them, and they couldn't believe their eyes!
Is this still the decadent and desolate ancient city of Penglai?
Feng Qingcheng looked at the bustling and lively scene in front of him, and sighed: "Could it be that this is the real power of the Heart-Splitting Formation?" Let you be in an illusion, as if you are living in reality, and you can't distinguish the difference between fantasy and reality. If you can't get out of the illusion for the rest of your life, you can only be trapped here forever? ”
Shui Yanxi also said: "The Heart Array is a formation developed by the Great God of Fuxi of the God Clan, the formation is extremely exquisite, if there is no chance, it will be difficult to get out." It looks like we're really going to be trapped in this dead city. ”
