In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

The mansion of Guo Xi, the assassin of Yangzhou, is not as bustling as in the past, and it can be described as a crowd.

"The world has the right to pay power, but not the right to pay, what he said is true. Guo Xi sighed.

"Master, you are an honest and honest official, but the traitors around the emperor are in charge at the moment, and they can't tolerate you. Guo Xi's wife, Murong Yan, comforted her husband.

"Yan'er, over the years, you have suffered with me. Guo Xi looked at his plainly dressed wife, and his heart was not happy.

"Yan'er has never regretted following the master, if the officials in the world can catch up with the master, half of the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Back then, my father also took a fancy to the master's talent for the world and married me to you. When Murong Yan said this, her pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head, feeling shy. Guo Xi looked emotional, hugged his beloved wife and held it in his arms.

"When we arrive in Liangzhou, my husband will definitely go to visit my old father-in-law. ”

"Hey, when you said this, I almost forgot that the concubine also wants to visit the old man..."

"It must be Zhao Zhenren of the Shushan faction, of course, it is natural to pay a visit, ten years ago, thanks to Zhao Zhenren, Yan'er's life was saved. ”

"Yes. Murong Yan lay on Guo Xi's chest, and her thoughts had drifted to ten years ago......

Xiangxi is located in Jingzhou, which has been a paradise for poisonous insects since ancient times. Outsiders who are not familiar with Xiangxi often pass through Xiangxi and are often treated as a snack for monsters or drowned in the swamp without paying attention.

In the deep valley came a group of chariots and horses, led by two men, one of whom was burly, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and handsome, while the other was unusually tall, with a dark face and a beard. Both of them are dressed as cultivators, acting like a swift wind, and their bearing is extraordinary. The following convoy did not look like an ordinary convoy, and from time to time there was a woman's "giggle" laughter in one of the carriages.

A young man dressed as a servant walked forward and said respectfully to the handsome cultivator: "Zhao Zhenren, it's getting late, I'm already tired, Miss wants to rest here for a night, and set off again tomorrow morning, I don't know what the real person's intentions are?"

The bearded cultivator was obviously very dissatisfied: "What, your young lady is giving orders again? Do you know what kind of place this is..."

"Senior Brother Xu, let's spend the night in this valley tonight, and then let's go and set up a ward off evil spirits for Miss Murong and them, and then find some food. The young cultivator who was called Zhao Zhenren interrupted his beard.

"Senior Brother Lingfeng, you just get used to them, I can't be angry that Miss Jiao is domineering towards us!"

Zhao Lingfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly to himself, this Senior Brother Xu seems to be too childish. The convoy escorted this time was a wedding car to the capital, and the eldest lady was not a little difficult for them along the way.

"Miss, you see that bearded man is. Hee-hee..."A girl dressed as a maid in the carriage covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hmph, that bearded man is too ignorant of lifting, this girl has always done her own thing, and no one wants to point fingers at this girl except my father. The other girl was dressed as a young lady, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate appearance, fair complexion, and a youthful breath, it was Murong Yan.

"Miss, that Zhao Gongzi is coming towards us..."

"Shhhhh Murong Yan hurriedly covered Xiaofeng's mouth and looked out the window.

"Miss Murong, Zhao is polite", Zhao Lingfeng said, "This is the old mountain of Xiangxi, which is the nest of wild beasts and poisonous insects, and ordinary people do not dare to spend the night here." Since everyone insisted on resting here, Zhao immediately set up a cover for everyone to ward off evil spirits, and peace could be guaranteed within a radius of one mile. After that, the index finger and middle finger of the right hand merged to point to the sky, and the mouth read: "Rise!", the fingertips gradually emitted a pea-sized fluorescence, the fluorescence became brighter and brighter, and suddenly flew vertically into the air, scattering countless fluorescent filaments like a birdcage, covering the space within a radius of one mile.

"Miss Murong, don't go out of this Dharma realm, Zhao will go and find something to eat, and go and go back. With that, it turned into a cloud of white smoke and flew out of the valley at a high speed. Murong Yan was already shocked by Zhao Lingfeng's methods at this time, and she forgot to let go of the hand covering Xiao Feng's mouth.

"Woo, little... Miss. Xiao Feng broke Murong Yan's hand and gasped, "Oh, you can suffocate me."

"I'm sorry, Xiaofeng. Murong Yan hurriedly apologized, "That Zhao Lingfeng seems to have some skills. ”

"Well, he's pretty too. Xiaofeng quipped.

"I don't know what about my future husband's name Guo Xi," Murong Yan said with his chin in his hands, "I don't think my father is just interested in his name as the champion." ”

"I heard the old man say that Guo Gongzi is also from Liangzhou, with a dignified appearance, and he is a decent gentleman. ”

"I hope he doesn't want to be a nerd, if he wants to talk to Miss Ben or something, I'll whip him!" Murong Yan laughed with Xiaofeng again.

After half a pillar of incense, the leader of the convoy commanded everyone to set up a tent. Torches were also erected around to dispel the darkness. That birdcage-shaped Dharma Realm appeared and disappeared from time to time, giving people a surprising sense of security.

"Hey, what is that?" Murong Yan seemed to see something and shook Xiao Feng, who was already asleep, awake.

"Miss...", Xiao Feng rubbed her eyes and looked at Murong Yan's fingers, "It's the fire fox!"

In the distance, a red flame floated around, especially noticeable in the darkness. Murong Yan picked up the soft whip beside her and rushed out, she had always wanted a fire fox. Xiaofeng jumped up anxiously, "Miss is back, it's dangerous outside, Zhao Gongzi said that he wouldn't let us out of this law realm......"

"What are you afraid of, this fire fox girl is going to decide!" Murong Yan was unusually good at light skills, and after a few breaths, she was already outside the Law Realm. When she arrived, Murong Yan realized that this was not a fire fox, but an open flame like something wrapped in it. It seemed to be alive, and when it saw someone discovering it, it immediately fled into the distance. Murong Yan's curiosity was aroused, and she followed behind.

Unconsciously chased to a river, and the open fire finally stopped. Murong Yan thought to herself: "I finally caught up with you, I want to see what you are." "Just as he was about to step forward, suddenly a large whirlpool appeared in the middle of the river, and the black water around him seemed to be sucked in, making a loud noise. Suddenly, a huge centipede shaped like a giant dragon flew out of the whirlpool, it was red, countless feet kept swinging back and forth, the mouth the size of the wellhead showed white fangs, and the open fire shrank to its forehead with a whoosh, it was actually a mass of sarcoma that could lure food into fooling. The giant centipede's black eyes stared at Murong Yan, and dark green saliva kept secreting from its mouth, which flowed down its jaw.

The saliva, which is obviously highly poisonous, makes a "swish" sound and emits a trace of white smoke when it drips on the stone. "It's not good, run away!" Murong Yan thought of this, and hurriedly jumped back, turned around in mid-air, and as soon as her toes touched the ground, the internal force was lifted again, and he got into the woods when he entered. The giant centipede let out a screech and rushed in. The waist-thick trees were broken by the centipede's body, but it did not slow down its speed at all, Murong Yan felt that the poisonous insect behind him was getting closer and closer, and there seemed to be a trace of yin qi coming from behind, "Oh no, why is this centipede so powerful, chasing after me to death." I, Murong Yan, am going to die here?" Thinking of this, Murong Yan felt a burst of remorse in her heart, she shouldn't have left the magic circle without listening to Zhao Gongzi's words.

Seeing that it was only a few steps away from the food, the giant centipede shrank its front half of its body and jumped with strength, flying a few feet in the air and smashing it down towards Murong Yan with its mouth open. "It's over. Murong Yan closed her eyes.

"Hum~"

Murong Yan felt a scream pass over her head, and then there was a "boom" behind her, and the ground shook as well. She slowly opened her eyes, and turned to see that the centipede had been pinned to the ground by a huge sword about the thickness of its body, and it writhed in pain, desperately trying to break free, and dark red blood kept gushing out of the wound like a spring.

"Miss Murong, you are frightened. Zhao Lingfeng appeared in front of him.

"Zhao Gongzi, I... I..." Murong Yan lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Lingfeng. When Zhao Lingfeng saw this, he was happy in his heart, and the usually delicate and willful eldest lady also had this state.

"Zhao was almost late, thanks to Miss Murong's good skills, otherwise wouldn't it have become the plate of this thousand-legged centipede, and he would have lost his life. ”

Murong Yan heard Zhao Lingfeng say that she was good and in a better mood, "Murong Yan thanked Gongzi for saving his life." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhao escorted Miss Murong is a matter of duty, how can I explain to the head of the house if the girl makes a mistake. As he spoke, he pointed to the sword and swiped downward, and the sword tore along the centipede's head, and the white and red ones came out of the split head, and it seemed that it would not survive. The sword immediately flew back on its own, returning to the size of an ordinary sword and falling into Zhao Lingfeng's hands.

"You called this monster Thousand Foot Heavenly Centipede just now?" asked Murong Yan.

"Yes. This is a monster unique to Xiangxi. Huge in size, fond of eating women's flesh and blood, those who get lost are easily tempted by its lure to stretch out its lure... Let's talk as we go. The two walked in the direction of the convoy.

"Our Huaxia Continent is really a miraculous creation, thousands of races live together, and nothing major has happened. Murong Yan said casually.

"Miss Murong is wrong, since the time of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, the war between people, gods, demons, and demons has never ended. Zhao Lingfeng shook his head.

"The Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought in the field of Zhuolu, Chi You was defeated, and the Yellow Emperor was buried in five places. The world is divided into Hebei, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Henan, Liang, Yongjiuzhou, and the four seas are leveled. Murong Yan shook her head and said, "Isn't this how Mr. Teacher teaches children?"

"Hehe, Miss Murong is right, the story of the ancient man-god alliance defeating the demon alliance is already familiar. After that, the Yellow Emperor founded the Ji Dynasty and continues to this day, and the Five Elements Technique was also passed down from God to mortals at that time. Zhao Lingfeng continued, "The world is divided into Kyushu, and the Five Elements Technique has gradually spread in Kyushu. There are more and more sects practicing the Five Elements, and the big sects have swallowed up the smaller ones, gradually forming the current five major sects representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and they are the Shenfeng School, the Qingfeng School, the Ice Cave School, the Fire Immortal School, and the Xuanwu School. The five major sects have a close relationship with each of the five major families, and influence the world through them. However, many years after the death of the Yellow Emperor, the demons became restless again, and they launched a second war in the world, and Kyushu was suddenly devastated. The immortals of the heavenly realm and the great devil of the demon realm did not appear, the Xiuzhen sect led by the five major sects and the Dao Ancestor who was about to soar at that time fought with the demon army in Yongzhou for seven days and seven nights, both sides suffered heavy losses, and when the situation was stalemate, the Dao Ancestor actually survived the divine tribulation and became a god," Zhao Lingfeng said here, inadvertently showing a yearning look, "The demon alliance army was defeated by the Dao Ancestor who became a god, and finally surrendered. Since then, the human world and the demons have agreed that the demons can only operate in the demon realm. The only passage between the demon realm and the human realm was also sealed by Dao Zu, who founded the Shushan faction at the sealed place, and flew away after preaching. In the future, the elders of the five elements of various generations in Shushan took turns to guard the seal, regardless of day. ”

"Then the demons can't appear in the world. Murong Yan asked.

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but in the last thousand years, the demon clan has occasionally appeared, and no one knows how they came from the demon world to the human world. Every time the demon clan appears is a catastrophe, since the Dao Ancestor ascended, there has been no cultivator who has become a god, fortunately, the number of demons is very small, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. In addition to the demon clan, there are also restless people in the demon clan, they attack humans to obtain divine sources or simply for fun, this thousand-legged heavenly centipede has been harming this area for a long time, and the head of the sect ordered me and Senior Brother Xu to escort you to eliminate harm for the people by the way..."Zhao Lingfeng replied.

"What is the Divine Source, do ordinary people have it?" Murong Yan asked again.

"The divine source is also called the divine particle, which is a component of all species with 'spirits', and humans, gods, demons, and demons all have divine particles. We, cultivators, also improve our abilities by refining divine particles. This god particle ......" Zhao Lingfeng suddenly felt that he was talking too much, and hurriedly stopped.

"What happened to the god particles?"

"Miss Murong, you are not a cultivator, so you still don't know. ”

"Cut, stingy. Murong Yan was obviously interested in cultivating the truth, so Zhao Lingfeng kept his mouth shut. Along the way, they chatted about the customs of Kyushu, and Murong Yan felt that Zhao Lingfeng was actually quite a funny person who was usually not smiling.

"Miss, look, that's Miss!" Although at night, Xiao Feng could still recognize Murong Yan's figure and shouted loudly. It turned out that everyone was worried about the safety of the young lady, and they were all looking around with torches.

"Miss, you're in a hurry to kill me, woo~ If you want to have three long and two short, I won't live anymore......" Xiaofeng hugged Murong Yan tightly and cried non-stop.

"Xiaofeng, let go... Let go of me... Ahem...... "Murong Yan was hugged by Xiaofeng, and everyone laughed when they saw it.

Everyone returned to the camp, and after a while, Senior Brother Xu also came back after hunting game, and he saw Zhao Lingfeng and the delicate lady talking and laughing, and couldn't help but wonder: "I'm dazzled, and if I don't see it for a while, the world will be turned upside down?"

......

Early the next morning, the convoy departed, leaving behind the still secluded and deep valley. Murong Yan didn't expect that she would revisit this place ten years later, and at that time, a new legend was about to be staged in the land of Kyushu.
