Chapter 4. The lotus root is broken
There were a few lonely stars hanging in the sky, and the roars of all kinds of nocturnal ghosts and beasts could be faintly heard in the distance, and the fog was very heavy, caged the suffering in the depths of the wilderness.
Luo Xuan flew back to the north top of the mountain, occupying the terrain and carefully observing the entire underworld, this troubled town deliberately avoided the pivotal points and traffic arteries of the underworld, thinking that it was a place carefully selected by Xiaofeng and Mei Niang that did not attract attention.
The lost town, when it is really just a small town, you don't need to look far away, you can see that there are countless towns and cities of different sizes distributed on the whole underworld, dotted between the whole continent, the lights of each town, the silk and bamboo of the city echo from afar, making the desolate and not desolate, the ghost domain is not a ghost, for a time people only sigh that the creation is magical, and there is a boundary outside the world.
The underworld is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, each layer is connected with the universe and the earth, spreading to the ten directions, vast and wide, boundless and boundless, the landform of each layer is different, and the color is different.
On the plains of the underworld, the main color is Dan Ding Tong red, there are thousands of huge splendid cities in the middle of the original, the fortress of Wan Jun is stationed along the edge, the Qi army is in a lotus array, and the domineering is boundless. I saw that in the middle of the splendid city, there was a towering and magnificent white jade capital, which must be the imperial capital of the king of the underworld.
The Central Plains of the Underworld is where Nie Xiaofeng lives in the lost town, the whole continent is secluded and green, the vegetation is luxuriant, interspersed with all kinds of fragrant flowers, the size of each city located in the middle is slightly smaller than those big cities in the Upper Plains, but it also does not lose the voice of the people, looking from afar, all kinds of merchants and Qianmo traffic are the busiest in the Central Plains.
The underworld is bottomless, heavy, and the overall atmosphere is treacherous and gloomy, looking like a molars abyss. What's even more strange is that the northernmost part of the three plains of the underworld is all integrated into a deep ocean, and the ocean is so strange, along the upper, middle and lower layers of the underworld landform that is diagonally paved down, it is actually covered with the sky, spread out into three huge waterfalls that cannot be seen at a glance.
I just heard a street commentary that the nineteen-layer purgatory of this legendary underworld is hidden under this underworld, and the creatures and ghosts in it cannot be reborn forever.
When Luo Xuan returned to the town, there were still many vendors who were bustling with each other, so he hid into the customer group, paid attention to the inquiry, and finally found out where the Wangxiangtai was going and where the reincarnation soul roster was stored, so he hurried away in the night.
When I arrived at the wheel field, it was pitch black all around, the huge wheel tower towered into the sky, the cold fog was entangled, the four seasons on the top of the tower continued, and the melody of eternal parting was passed down.
Luo Xuan picked up the word avoidance decision that the Silver Python Jun had instilled in him a few days ago, and sneaked into the wheel tower to find it layer by layer.
The top floor should be placed with the roster of the latest entry wheel, just now I heard Nie Xiaofeng say that she came to put down the roster the day before yesterday, Luo Xuan followed the date of the first pavilion to look for it, and finally found the pavilion the day before yesterday, but he couldn't see Nie Xiaofeng's roster when he rummaged through it.
He was not at ease, and he went through all the soul books in the pavilion for ten consecutive days yesterday, today, and the day before yesterday, and he couldn't find Nie Xiaofeng's reincarnation list.
The sound of the pavilion finally startled the night wandering spirit, riding the nocturnal owl beast to search up layer by layer, Luo Xuan picked up the word escape and flew to the top of the tower, and disappeared into the mist in the distant sky.
When he returned to the eaves of Nie Xiaofeng's courtyard, he quietly looked at the tranquility of the garden, and his heart was unprecedentedly clear.
This is the life he wanted most in his heart before he integrated into the ups and downs, so Ailao Mountain used to be his concern, and now, this lost town is also his destination, just because she is here, he can't get a list, so he guards her.
Since I am already here, I will not let you be reborn or leave.
Luo Xuan simply lay down on the eaves wall outside the court, bent his arms as pillows, and enjoyed the white moonlight of the entire canopy. The grass insects in the courtyard were sparse, and the chirping was fresh, he looked sideways, and suddenly remembered that Nie Xiaofeng's grave in Ailao Mountain had also had such an insect sound, it seems that the two worlds of yin and yang really have their own inductive connection, and they can't help it.
In my lifetime, I finally found you.
He closed his eyes, and the hazy sleepiness slowly seeped in the tranquility around him, and the moonlight was like a pour, sprinkling the entire underworld from afar, like a waterfall falling from the sky, softly melting his white shirt in Nie Xiaofeng's garden.
As soon as the roots of his ears moved, a piercing sound suddenly came from the east wing room, and a strange girl's cry pierced the night sky, which was extremely eye-catching.
Luo Xuan opened his eyes and sat up, only to see that the lights in Xiaofeng and Mei Niang's master bedroom were bright, Nie Xiaofeng was wearing a small coat, and ran out of the room in a suit of dirty clothes and pants to drill straight into the guest room, and soon Nie Mei Niang also took a butter lamp and followed.
Luo Xuan flew from the wall to the front of the guest room, looking through the window, the bed was lying on the silver-clothed girl who was single and fought against the black man with illumination that day, but he saw that her face was pale, her expression was mournful, and her crying was like a cry, and a mass of forest sins in the front hall was about to come out.
"Mother, she was attacked by the illusion of her life again, what should I do?" Inside the house, Nie Xiaofeng hugged the girl's arms, preventing her from hurting herself when she lost consciousness, and hugged herself until she was sweating profusely and panting.
"What else can I do, press it again!" Nie Meiniang said, the mother and daughter both recited the spirit spell for a while, and hand in hand, the spirit thought rose, and finally slowly pressed the ghost cry between the girl's forehead back into her forehead.
The girl was forced to hypnotize by this, and although she fell into a deep dream, her body was still instinctively curled up and trembling, moving and moving, and her face was crawling with tears on her face.
Finally fighting for peace in the room, Nie Meiniang wiped her sweat and sighed heavily: "Where did you pick her up from? This girl is so young, how could she be so miserable?"
Nie Xiaofeng muttered: "She was met by me on the way back to the Underworld, if she hadn't saved me, I might not have been able to escape Luo Xuan." ”
Seeing that she used herself to tell a big lie, Luo Xuan guessed that she was still afraid that Nie Meiniang would know about the black, and she was also suspicious in her heart at the moment, that silver python Jun was extremely profound, and even the wall of the underworld could be broken, since this girl was familiar with him, why didn't she turn to him for help if she was hit so hard?
Nie Meiniang sighed: "That's it, you just caused a bunch of troubles again, can my mother still watch it? You quickly go to General Yue's mansion to ask for two Storm Soul Fixing Pills, and your mother is here to watch, and she will be angry at all times." ”
When Nie Xiaofeng heard this, she was overjoyed, hugged her mother's forehead and kissed her, and said, "Thank you, mother! ”
The crisp kiss sound she imprinted on her mother's forehead made Luo Xuan, who was guarding outside the house, tremble uncontrollably, and most of the three souls and seven spirits walked away - when and where would her warm lips be branded on his cheeks?
Reluctantly followed her back to the room, Luo Xuan hid in the dark, and saw her quickly put on a coarse cotton green skirt and tied a light green castor cloak, like a coarse and rough shirt, but immediately outlined the beauty of the room.
Those light emerald green colors stung Luo Xuan's eyes at once, and she recalled that back then, when she first showed her affection to herself in Ailao Mountain, she was also dressed in such a fresh and lovely original emerald green.
Green is indeed her favorite color.
The night is already late, at this time everything is silent, there is no one in the streets and alleys, she is a single woman to go out, how can Luo Xuan rest assured, she follows all the way, and she has to be careful to hide so that she is smart and keen, it is really not easier than the yang world.
Nie Xiaofeng hurried through the night, and after a while, he rushed to the western outskirts of the town, standing in front of a vast and magnificent glorious sect court. Luo Xuan raised his eyes and saw three big characters written on the plaque in front of the door - "Yue Wangfu", it turned out that the Yue general who died in the Fengbo Pavilion back then had also been living with her in the lost town in the Central Plains of the underworld.
She knocked on the door heavily, and in the night, she knocked on the two doors with a bang. The servants came to answer the door, as soon as they saw that it was her, they immediately opened the door, lined up on both sides to greet each other, the moon-white water green shirt on her body flew with the night, a path into the Yue Mansion, unimpeded, the servants along the road saw this and were respectful, and the housekeeper in charge bent over her to make a gesture, and went to the inner hall to report with his sleeves, which was obviously a visit to her, and everyone was used to it.
Luo Xuan jumped over the broad eaves of Yue's mansion and hid it among a tall pine tree in the mansion, frowning and looking down at the signs in the court.
I saw that the general of Zhennan, Yue Fei, had come out from afar, his steps were steady and fast, his face was full of energy, and the moonlight was coming, which was pleasant and pleasant.
Nie Xiaofeng saw him come out, and stood on the jade bridge in the court, bowed slightly, smiled in his eyes, and showed a thousand blessings, but he got straight to the point: "There are many disturbances when I visit late at night, thanks to the general's refusal to give up, I came today to ask you for a thing - the Storm Soul Fixing Pill, may I have it in the house?"
"Yes! Dare to ask who Miss Nie wants to give it to?" Seeing her like this, General Yue also stopped at two steps in front of the court, full of etiquette.
"It's a friend I met at the border a few days ago, she was trapped by demons, suffering every day, my mother was afraid that she would be devoured by the illusion of her life, so she sent me here to ask the general for a visit to the soul pill. ”
"I see, is the girl's friend a man or a woman?"
Luo Xuan was condescending, looking sideways at Yue Fei, and was wondering if he had such a question, Nie Xiaofeng had already replied: "It's a young girl." ”
"That's good, Miss Nie doesn't know, this storm soul fixing pill is male and female, and both men and women need to be used cross-wisely to have a curative effect. ”
Nie Xiaofeng nodded, and General Yue said again: "Since it is to cure the heart calamity, I also have the Nine Turns Condensation Incense and the Heavenly Life Medicine here, Miss Nie may wish to take them together in case of emergency." As he spoke, he motioned to both sides, and the steward in charge took the order.
"Thank you, General. Nie Xiaofeng leaned to his waist.
Hearing Yue Fei mention the Heavenly Life Medicine, Luo Xuan then remembered his daughter Jiang Xue, her body had been hidden by him in the bitter cold land of the extreme north in the blood pool of the mourning prison, but she didn't know that above the three plains of the underworld, her incense soul had already settled in another place? Now, can she also find her husband Zhaonan and a pair of beloved sons in this thousand towns?
He looked down at Nie Xiaofeng, who was standing gracefully in the courtyard - Xiaofeng, do you know that our family of four, Xue Xuanshuang, has been living in the world of fireworks for a lifetime, but now it is close at hand, can you see it when you look up?
Fate, how many unknown mysteries are hidden behind your grand and abundant wings?
Seeing that Nie Xiaofeng took the Dan bottle and turned around to leave, General Yue hurriedly said: "Miss Nie, Yue still has something to invite, can the girl stay for a step or two?"
Nie Xiaofeng stopped when he heard this: "General, it's okay to say." ”
Yue Jiang saw that she had stopped going, and he was immediately relieved, and took a deep breath: "Miss Nie also knows the current situation when she wants to come, and now the entire underworld has become a battleground for the soldiers of the alien god and the underworld, Yue Fei is fortunate to master the handsome seal of the Emperor of the Underworld in the underworld, last time, thanks to the recommendation of Miss Nie, the sixteen changes of the Sixteen Transformations of the Emperor of Chiyan broke the Ninety-Eight Heavenly Array of the Emperor of Chiyan in the Battle of Yemen, and the Yue family army was widely honored. Now that the war has started newly, it's just that the alien god who came to fight this time is one of the three commanders of the gods, and his identity is orthodox and noble, which is different from the origin of the god of Chi Yanye, so last time, the Emperor of the Underworld could still let go of his hands and feet to face the battle, but this time, the Emperor of the Underworld instructed us to be thorough in all directions and the two armies were not damaged, so I was very restrained! You must know that leading the troops to lead the battle, all pay attention to the hearty battle, how can the war situation be disturbed by political concerns? Yue was already deeply burdened when he was in the Yang world, who would have expected that when he came to this underworld, although he was sealed as a war immortal, he still inevitably fell into the trap of meritorious service. Miss Nie, in the world, Yue has regarded you as my lifelong confidant, the girl's talent and strategy, Yue is even more admirable, I wonder if Miss Nie can participate in the war with Yue again this time, and discuss good strategies together?"
Seeing that his expression was quite serious and sincere, and he looked embarrassed and helpless when he mentioned the war, Nie Xiaofeng smiled and said: "General Mo Jiehuai, Xiaofeng will follow the general to see the situation." ”
Yue Jiang gave way sideways and led her into the inner court, Nie Xiaofeng's long skirt was slightly swinging, and the silver light shawl floated into the room.
Luo Xuan had to fly closer again, and because he couldn't enter the room, he stood in front of the pavilion and listened. These days, his latent practice, coupled with the continuous practice of the various spiritual immortal mantras that the Silver Python King gave him, and the ability to use the sound to capture the subtle sounds in the room, is not difficult for him.
I only listened to the depths of the room, the two of them talked in the war simulation hall, at the beginning they were indeed discussing the essence of the military situation and making suggestions, but gradually, General Yue began to talk about him left and right, extradition the topic to the touch of life, and got up and invited her to go to the Jianzheng Pavilion, appreciating all kinds of ancient military books and allusions that he had collected for many years, and presented the past to her like a treasure- Tongtianlu, the Eight Desolation Collections, the Nine Realms Covenant, and the Six Dao Wheel Canons, compared with them, those Sun Tzu's Art of War, the Crowned Family Treasures, the Four Libraries Quanshu, the Zizhi Tongjian and other mundane works are dwarfed.
Seeing him talking to her eloquently in the inner compartment, he was very attentive, Luo Xuanzhi heard a yin fire brewing in his heart, but he had to stand outside the window with his hands in his hands, unable to move.
Suddenly, Nie Xiaofeng exclaimed in a low voice: "What is this?"
Luo Xuan hurriedly fixed his eyes and entered the room, only to see that Nie Xiaofeng had taken out a Wu Mu suicide note from the tired book pavilion, and when she opened it and browsed, a yellow roster fell out of it, she picked it up and saw that Yue Jiang and her face changed together, but it was red and white.
"How can my reincarnation roster be here?" Nie Xiaofeng picked up the roster and asked General Yue directly, his voice was not high or low, but he was already slightly gloomy.
Yue Jiang's face was as white as rice paper, his eyes were sideways, and he saw that the weak-crowned scholar who was accompanying him in front of the court suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a loud voice: "The general spares his life!" Last night, the general first read the suicide note in the Jianzheng Pavilion, and then looked at the list of Miss Nie, and put it in one place, the little sleepy and greedy bed, forgot to take out the list and send it back to the general's bedroom, begging the general for forgiveness, and the general spared his life! " The scholar looked at Nie Xiaofeng, who was not kind to the side, and said, "Miss Nie forgives her sins!"
"It seems that the general is also in charge of the affairs of the Wheel Tower Master?" Nie Xiaofeng said coldly, picked up his roster and turned around and left.
"Xiaofeng!" Yue Jiang's face turned pale, and he shouted behind her: "I shouldn't! The Lord of the Wheel Tower is indeed subordinate to my subordinate Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the day before yesterday I learned from him that you handed over the reincarnation list, so I ordered him to take it back, Xiaofeng, don't you still understand my intentions? Why do you insist on avoiding the past and not accepting a new relationship? Could it be that in this life, the Yellow Spring in the world, you will never forget him?"
Nie Xiaofeng turned around when he heard this, Luo Xuan felt that something was buzzing in front of him, and when he looked down, it was his own hands that had already smashed a frame of window lattices carved from mountains and seas.
But hearing her, she said leisurely: "Thank you for the general's kindness, Xiaofeng has no part in marriage in this life, and the heavens and the earth are destined to be two boundless." There are more than 10 million good women in the world, the general is righteous and thin, heroic and bright, if he is obsessed with Xiaofeng, he doesn't know that he will stranded a few good marriages in the world. Xiaofeng still has something to do, so don't say goodbye. "After speaking, start and go.
Yue Fei had already taken two steps and blocked her way: "What if you have a lot of worries? Does he have you in his heart? In the Yang world, he once diagnosed my illness, so I begged him to allow you to marry me in the grave, he ...... And he said yes!"
Seeing Nie Xiaofeng's body tremble, Luo Xuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately became furious! This Yue Fei dared to distort the facts and speak falsely in front of her? Back then, in the Yangshi Yue Mansion, he did diagnose Yue Fei's illness, and Yue Fei did mention the secret marriage, but when did he agree to his Yue Fei's Quanxia marriage contract with Xiaofeng?
He was so angry that he was about to break through the window with his palms in front of him, but suddenly his eyes flickered, his body was as light as flying, and the corridor of Yue's Mansion was far away, and he was not seen for a moment.
When he settled down on his heels, he looked around, and saw that he was in a deep alley with green tiles in the west of the town, and there was a person standing beside him, who quietly put down his sleeves and looked fixedly, it was the silver python Xianlang who led him to the lost town.
"What are you stopping me from!" Luo Xuan was angry and wanted to leave.
But let him take big strides again and again, and the alley mouth did not move at all, and he was not close at all. Knowing that the silver python was using mana as a hindrance, Luo Xuan turned around and said hurriedly: "Why are you doing this?"
Xiao Feng is in the same room with Yue, that crazy man is full of nonsense, and he is abducted and deceived, who knows what will happen to him next?
"Your reckless appearance will only help, and it will irritate her and push her farther and farther away. ”
"We don't need outsiders to interfere in the affairs of our master and apprentice!" Seeing that he hit the crux of the problem, Luo Xuan became more and more displeased.
Seeing him respond like this, Silver Python Jun looked at it lightly, and his eyes were calm, as if he was sympathetic to the same disease.
I heard him suddenly change his tone and ask, "How is the woman you rescued seven days ago?"
"It's no big deal, I've been defeated. ”
"How good is the wound on her body?"
"Seven-seven-eight-eight. ”
"What about the loss of Yin Zhen?"
Luo Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Silver Python Jun, how did he know this?
Silver Python Jun consciously lost his words, and did not say more, but after a while, he added: "Has she woken up?"
"You go and find out yourself, don't you know everything?" Luo Xuan knew that he must have something unspeakable, but he deliberately annoyed him, and he still had the aftermath of being suddenly dragged out of King Yue's mansion in his heart, and he didn't know what happened to Xiaofeng now?
"As soon as I approached, she noticed it, and she would have nightmares, so I would just watch from afar. Silver Python Jun's tone was deep, and there was a great sadness in his voice.
Luo Xuan was also infected by him for a while, and couldn't help but think of Nie Xiaofeng's sentence "Heaven and earth, two boundless", his heart was suddenly lonely and cold, and the anger that was still surging in his chest was unwilling, but now it was like being poured head-on by the ice water of Lethe.
But when he heard the silver python Jun said again: "Don't worry, Yue Fei is a top immortal, a person of merit, he won't surprise you, you go back and wait." ”
People's hearts are unpredictable, how can you guarantee it? Luo Xuan just had this thought in his mind, and when he looked sideways, he had long been gone.
In the Qingwa Alley, Luo Xuan inevitably got up in his footsteps. What the silver python said was reasonable, "the farther and farther he went", these four words disturbed him and he didn't dare to go to Yue's Mansion for a while, after thinking about it, he decided to go back to Xiaofeng's house first and wait for her to return, and reappear to reveal his intentions.
The road passes through the bazaar, but the ugly time has come, the south is spread out in splendor, and the book Qiyun Zhai.
He remembered that the young girl had mentioned this fast, and Xiaofeng's favorite Zhubi silk had to be only here, so he stepped into the store at the moment, and at a glance, he took a fancy to three or four cloud silks.
"This guest officer, can you have an eye?" The shopkeeper saw that there was business coming to the door, and he was busy asking for advice, elegant and pleasant.
"These clouds and silks can be called Zhubi silk?"
"These are not, the blue silk is the thing that hides the town, if the gentleman is interested, you can wait for a while, and I will take them one by one. ”
When the shopkeeper returned, he held three colorful and smooth brocades in his hands.
"Can there be a green color?" Luo Xuan remembered that Xiaofeng was courting him for the first time in Ailao Mountain, and that day she was carefully dressed up, that day she was wearing a green dress, but she was reprimanded by him as "people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts", recalling this, he felt ashamed, but it was also confirmed that she must like this lush and beautiful green color.
The boss thought for a while, his eyes moved, and he pulled out a turquoise thick brocade from under the shop, the texture was the same as the previous three horses, and he smiled: "It is true that there is a turquoise Zhubi, a few days ago a guest forgot here, and he didn't come to pick it up for a long time, so this is with Mr." ”
At that moment, he took it and wrapped it, and occasionally asked, "Who does the gentleman want to give it to?"
Luo Xuan was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, apprentice, wife, or his daughter's mother.
"What's the difference?"
If it is a couple's golden wedding gift, the silk should be tied on a [100-year-old Tilian], if it is a silver wedding, it is [flower bloom I], if you send relatives and friends, then you will tie a [Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum], [fishing wood pine and cypress], or [eight Hunan gentlemen], [four seasons usual], if it is given to the sweetheart, in order to become a good intention, then it should be tied a [common effect in flying]. ”
Luo Xuan remembered that it had been more than forty years since Nie Xiaofeng and him fell in love with him in Ailao Mountain, so he said: "Give me a [100-year-old Tilian], and then a [Fly Together]." ”
The shopkeeper smiled, picked up four brocade silks, tied them into a double flower, and didn't ask much.
Luo Xuan lowered his eyebrows, glanced at him, and looked at him with a blank face, thinking that he must have felt strange, but the shopkeeper said calmly: "Mr. doesn't know, this place is a lost town, and everyone who enters this place is lost because of their hearts." The lost town is automatically found by people, and those who are destined can find what they have lost here, and fulfill their long-cherished wishes, and those who are not destined to continue to search for the next town, which is above the underworld. Mr. Today here to pick silk, think is already gained, the shop should be deeply congratulated, the first customer to the door, it is a twenty fold! In the future, Mr. will live here for a long time, if he does not dislike, he also hopes to come to visit often, become a regular customer. ”
Luo Xuan saw that he was reasonable, deep in his heart, and went to his arms with a smile, and was stunned for a moment, this is the underworld, not the fireworks world, how can he have the currency of the underworld?
was thinking about it in embarrassment, but he touched a hard object in his palm, and when he took it out, it was a full gold dollar.
Luo Xuan was stunned, "Thank you for your patronage." The boss took it with a smile, turned around and handed over the silver, "No." He carried Zhu Bi, turned around and left.
On the way back to Nie Xiaofeng's house, he went to the riverside water shop to clean up his appearance, straightened out his shirt, and then used a slender silver belt to tuck the gray hair behind his head.
Today is officially on her door, so I hope it won't be too rude!
He thought in his heart, looking down at his face reflected in the water, the more he looked at it, the more nervous he became, the more awkward he looked, and he was picking up on the shore for a long time, and it was easy to leave.
Along the way, I thought about the extra gold ingot out of thin air to kill the tension. He didn't remember when he brought it with him, although he patrolled around the hanging pot before Jiangxue was poisoned, and often gave silver to all kinds of patients, but the remote location of Ailao Mountain, the villagers were not easy to exchange for silver dollars, so he always only gave it in broken silver, but never carried a whole ingot of gold and silver.
In this way, it must be the silver python who was saved by him who used his mana to relieve himself.
Nie Xiaofeng's courtyard was near, Luo Xuan had no time to think, the silk silk in his hand tightened, and he secretly breathed in his chest.
