Volume 1 Return Journey Chapter 022 Broken Cliff
The rain came quietly, the night, unexpectedly, the dark night sky accompanied by the dripping rain, hit Cui Yichu's cold and hard heart, no need to think about it, she also knew what it meant to go up to the cliff of broken thought, a bad one will die without a place to be buried, even if there is a flying star to follow, it cannot reduce a trace of vigilance, if a person is shameless, there will be no lower limit.
However, she has no way out, and it can be said that Broken Siya is a place where she must go, even if the other party does not come to invite, she will also go, but she didn't expect them to wait so much, so it is okay, her father's name and identity will be concluded after this trip.
"Girl, are you sleeping?" Nian Po's voice shuttled in the rain, as far as near, just like her in the daytime, or muddy or shrewd.
"Mother-in-law, why haven't you slept so late?" When she opened the door, she saw Nian Po holding an umbrella and carrying a food basket in her hand with a cane, so she quickly took the basket and walked in.
"A lot of things happened today, and you didn't eat anything at night, I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I made some pastries, do you still like to taste them?"
"This is、Peach Blossom Cake? I haven't eaten it in a long time. She picked up a piece, sniffed it lightly under her nose, it was still the taste of memory, and she took a small bite with tears in her eyes, indescribable satisfaction.
"Yes! I still remember that you used to like my cooking the most, and your favorite pastry was peach blossom crisp, and every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, it is your happiest moment, but then your road becomes more and more difficult, and you can't take care of it. ”
Nian Po's words made Cui Yichu look stunned, and he forgot to eat the pastries in his hand, and only looked fixedly at the familiar love and care on her old face.
"I wanted to go down with you until death, how could I ever want to be reborn, I had to leave, and I was afraid that you wouldn't find me, so I left my address, and I thought I could see you here when I came back from doing things, but I waited for hundreds of years, but fortunately, you came back, although your identity has changed, your appearance has changed, but your bones have not changed, and you have exposed your feet in only one or two days, and I recognized you."
"Mother-in-law, I ......"
"No matter what, it's good if you come back, this courtyard will always be yours, as long as you want to come back, come back, only one point, never enter the main house until fate awakens."
"Fate?"
"Don't ask, you'll find out later." After reading the mother-in-law's words, she got up, didn't give her a chance to ask questions, raised her hanging right hand to her chest, pinched the seal in a place she couldn't see, and saw Cui Yichu lying on the ground with sleepy eyes.
"Son, I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, but now is not the time for you to know, from now on you have to protect yourself, become strong, and then testify for your mother." As she spoke, she took the green light from the center of her eyebrows, pushed it into her eyebrows, and helped her lie flat on the bed with a spell.
After doing all this, she was already covered in cold sweat, her body trembled like chaff, and the rich death aura surrounded her body, as if to pull her to the boundless hell, she looked at Cui Yichu and smiled with satisfaction, and gradually her body became illusory, until she disappeared without a trace.
Cui Yichu's consciousness was hazy, the white and empty world was full of Nian Po's voice, she walked everywhere, looked everywhere, but never found the old and kind figure, suddenly she saw a light, the light was green, glowing with warmth, and a trace of familiarity, she stepped forward quickly, looked at this flickering light, stretched out her hand and approached gently, the closer the distance, the more she could feel the cold of this light, but for some reason she just felt warm.
Buzz –
Just as she was about to touch the light, a buzzing suddenly came, stimulating all her nerves, and she woke up with a painful frown, rubbing the two points between her foreheads, and her eyes that were originally slightly open widened when she saw the shining Nether Ring in her hand.
Buzz –
There was another buzz, only this time it didn't sound in her body, because it didn't cause her any discomfort, she frowned, tried to take off the ring, but found it in vain: "This? ”
"Xiaochu—"
Duanmu Jing pushed open the courtyard door, the silence of the courtyard made him a little uneasy, and he called loudly, and the sound came into the room, Cui Yichu obviously found that the Netherworld Ring was dim and dull for a moment, she touched it in surprise, but found that she easily took it off.
"Xiaochu, are you still there?" The voice outside the door was full of panic, she had to suppress her desire to continue researching, opened the door, and walked out: "I'm here, didn't I say that I won't go to Broken Cliff until three days later?" Why are you here today? ”
"Huh! It seems that Xiaochu is too forgetful in his practice, and he doesn't know that today is already the appointed day. ”
"Today?" She was amazed.
"That's right! What about Ninpo? Why didn't you see her? ”
"Nianpo?" Only then did she remember what had happened before, and hurriedly returned to the room, but the peach blossom cake on the table was still there, but the person who made the peach blossom cake had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a dilapidated cane lying quietly on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Duanmu Jing walked in, looked around, and asked puzzledly.
"It's nothing, let's go!" She silently picked up her crutches, carried her back, a trace of unspeakable pain flashed in her slightly drooping eyes, and once again she did not say goodbye, this time without even a word left.
However, although she was unconscious at the time, she could still feel what kind of expectation Nian Po had, and with this expectation, her heart to become stronger became hotter and hotter, even if she didn't understand that expectation, she still didn't want to live up to it.
Broken thought cliff, the cliff is as its name, it is a cliff of 3,333 zhang high, there is no grass on it, the strange stone is craggy, the cliff peak is sword-shaped, towering straight to the clouds, the cliff wall is smooth like a mirror, a waterfall of 100 zhang wide falls straight down the bottom of the cliff along the cliff peak, and the roar that comes out is clearly audible from thousands of miles apart.
Cui Yichu was dressed in a purple fairy dress, carrying a cane, with a broken dagger pinned to his waist, a green silk without wind, and his smart apricot eyes burst out with a cold gaze, Duanmu Jing, who was standing beside her, shivered subconsciously, looked at her beautiful side face, and couldn't stop sighing in his heart.
"Broken Cliff!" She turned her head to look at the stone pillar that was three people high, and the three big characters on it were vigorous and powerful, and the aura was surging and magnificent, and she had a feeling that her soul was about to come out of the sheath at a glance.
"Are you alright?" Duanmu Jing saw that her face was pale and her body trembled, and he immediately walked over.
"It's fine!" She only felt that the Netherworld Ring hidden in her neck suddenly exuded a trace of coldness, and the soul that was about to come out of the sheath returned to her body, and then she took a few deep breaths, and looked at the stone tablet again, this time the feeling of oppression disappeared, but she felt the sadness from the stele, she was surprised by the change of this tablet in her heart, and wondered about the change of the Netherworld Ring, but this was not the time to think, so she had to suppress the curiosity in her heart, and walked to the top of the cliff quietly.
Although there is no grass around, it naturally forms a stone forest, except that there is no green, but there is no difference from the ordinary mountain forest, the stone shadow is cool, the breeze is gentle, and it has a different flavor.
"The Broken Cliff is full of clouds and mist all year round, mortals only say that this is a wonder, this is a fairyland, only the monk understands that this is a naturally formed mountain protection array, from the bottom of the cliff to the peak of the cliff, every strange stone has its location, chaotic, and orderly, countless small arrays form a large array, and no one can break it for tens of thousands of years." Duanmujing patiently explained, Cui Yichu listened quietly, did not say a word, only secretly clenched his fists.
"Who's coming?"
At the same time, after the two of them walked into the cliff for a hundred steps, they finally walked out of one person, obviously the delicate appearance gave people a sense of fierceness, the round eyes were full of anger, and the pride and arrogance coexisted in the expression.
"Cui Yichu!"
"Duanmu Jing!"
The two replied one after another.
"Oh? It turns out that you are Cui Yichu, and they all say how powerful you are, when I saw you today, except for your good looks, I didn't see any difference in the others. As he spoke, he reached out to grab her smooth chin, and the lust in his eyes was not concealed.
"What do you do?" Duanmu Jing stepped forward and pulled her behind him, angrily scolding the disciple of Broken Siya.
"His Royal Highness the Prince? I had long heard that she was charming, and she confused His Royal Highness the Prince, and I thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true, which was really a shame for the Duanmu family. ”
Bang –
His voice fell, and before Duanmu Jing could say anything, Cui Yichu actually flew over, although the disciple heard about her power and ruthlessness, but in the end it was a little girl in front of him, so he didn't really take it to heart, he was not guarded when this kick came, thinking about the next, it could be regarded as giving her a dismount, who would have thought that this kick weighed as much as 10,000 catties, and was kicked by her to fly a hundred meters to the ground without noticing.
"Y-how daring!" He clutched his abdomen with a hideous expression.
"If you don't have the guts, won't you invite me to come and not start the battle?" She screamed, and Duanmu Jing woke up from the shock, and looked at her timidly: "The master of the Broken Thoughts Cliff is like a cloud, you ......"
"So what, they invited me here, but not me, since the invitation was issued, basic etiquette must be there, otherwise it will not be me who will be laughed at!" Her words were sonorous, and although her voice was not loud, it spread in the empty stone forest.
"You!"
"Cui Yichu, right? Elder please! ”
The disciple guarding the mountain was just about to say something, when he saw another disciple coming, his eyes were level, the ancient well was not wavering, even if he looked at Cui Yichu, there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Cui Yichu stepped forward silently, the man turned around, the seal on his hand changed several times, a wide mountain road paved with jade came into view, looking up along the road, the towering stairs went straight to the sky, her pupils shrunk, the lotus step moved slightly, and Duanmu Jing followed closely.
"Your Highness—"
The voices of Zhou Ying and Zhou Tian resounded behind him, Duanmu Jing was slightly stunned, only turned around and glanced at it, and then followed Cui Yichu and embarked on the road to the Broken Si Cliff.
Zhou Tian's father and daughter gritted their teeth, and with a wave of their hands, the guards hidden in the shadows appeared, and followed the two of them straight into the Broken Cliff, no matter what, they couldn't let the only prince have anything to do, even if they were facing a behemoth.
