Text Chapter 24 Spring dreams without a trace
"Jin Guan, do you think you still have a chance to win today?" Lan Wuyuan launched three waterfalls in a row, all of which were flashed by Jin Guan.
"My favorite thing to do is to have no chance of winning. Jin Guan said.
"If you are obsessed, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
"If you have the ability, you can come!" Jin Guan no longer dodged, and a round of air knives more than half a person high appeared in his right hand, and the blade body rotated into a circle, and flew out.
Lan Wuyuan carried a thousand miles of undercurrent, and the water arched up, like a python out of a hole.
Sure enough, Jin Guan shook his body again, leaping over Lan Wuyuan's head, and two rounds of huge air knives in his left and right hands roared and slashed.
The Qianli undercurrent was originally a move to attack and defend the merger, Lan Wuyuan knew that Jin Guan was scheming, so he deliberately left a back move, and the anaconda circled around Lan Wuyuan's body and rushed towards Jin Guan.
The two air knives collided with the anaconda, and Jinguan flew up again, but this time he floated in the direction of Chihiro.
Their goal, from the very beginning, was Chihiro.
Qianxun was forced to breathe by He Laojiu's black palm, and hurriedly exerted his yang energy, the air behind him suddenly distorted, and two airflows, one cold and one hot, came out of his palm, and shook He Laojiu's black palm away with a bang.
"That's a lot of energy. He Laojiu took two steps back and stabilized his skeleton-like tall and thin body.
Chihiro seized the opportunity and took two steps to return to the sun again. At this time, he saw a figure rushing in front of him, and he was in front of him almost in the blink of an eye. Chihiro had to turn around and raise her palm to meet the enemy.
Jin Guan changed another body technique, and lightly avoided Chihiro's palm, his five fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed the top of Chihiro's door.
Chihiro bent forward, conjured an ice dragon from behind, and opened his mouth to bite Jinguan.
He Laojiu was in trouble almost at the same time, the runes on his shoulders on both sides of the river flashed blue light, and his hands swelled, suddenly jamming Chihiro from the front like iron pincers. "Success!" Just as he was rejoicing, he suddenly saw a white light in front of him, and it was too late to retreat.
He Laojiu screamed and fell to the ground and kept rolling, his body slowly returned to his original thin appearance, and the two broken arms continued to burst out with blood.
"Don't get complacent too soon. Ancestral Wing Sword pointed at the ground and said coldly.
Seeing He Laojiu's arms being chopped off, Jin Guan raised a cloud of red mist and quickly disappeared in the night.
"Let that guy run, it's a pity. Our whereabouts will eventually be known. Lan Wuyuan put away the flow of water and helped Chihiro remove the other two arms that were hanging from his shoulders.
He Laojiu, who was still rolling on the ground in pain just now, suddenly rolled into the grass next to him while everyone was not paying attention, and disappeared in an instant.
"Well, what about the people?" Zu Yi only heard the miserable shouting stop abruptly, and looked back.
"Escape, this man has practiced corpse control, has been dealing with the dead for many years, and seems to be proficient in the way of retreat. Lan Wuyuan flicked the grass with his feet, revealing a fist-sized pit on the ground.
"It's really cheap for them. Zu Yi sighed.
"Are you hurt?" Lan Wuyuan asked Zu Yi.
"It's fine. "When Zu Yi broke Jin Guan's treacherous twelve qi knives, he did suffer a little internal injury, and others couldn't see it, but he couldn't escape Lan Wuyuan's eyesight.
"Could it be that he is from the Earth Demon Clan again? "Frost Fei Jue said quietly.
"I'm not sure, but He Laojiu's evil way of taking the ghost door forbidden technique should be inseparable from the Earth Demon Clan. However, this fire monkey Jinguan was originally a casual guest in the rivers and lakes, and he has always been a one-man in the world, and he doesn't know what means the Earth Demon Clan used to make this kind of person work for them. Lan Wuyuan suddenly asked Chihiro, "Chihiro, have you seen the two of them before?"
Chihiro shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen anyone else in the Earth Demon Clan except for Zhong Wudao, Fang Tuo, Black Armor Samurai and Long Yanjun. ”
Lan Wuyuan's face was solemn, and he muttered, "How many masters are hidden in this demon clan......
Zu Yi said: "It doesn't matter where they come from, as long as he dares to come again, he will never let them escape again." ”
Lan Wuyuan said: "The people of the Earth Demon Clan are not so easy to deal with, everyone should be more careful in the future, in order to prevent accidents, remember not to go out alone in the future." ”
"Yes, understood. Frostfeilord and Chihiro nodded.
Lan Wuyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go back, everyone is tired, go back to the inn and rest for the night." ”
After a fierce battle, everyone was also exhausted, and after returning to the inn, Lan Wuyuan's mood was finally somewhat stable, because there was no one to follow behind him, and he slept peacefully.
Chihiro took a bath and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time. As soon as he closed his eyes, Zu Yi's proud expression would appear in his mind. The pride of the sky, the difference between himself and his strength is simply cloud and mud. At the beginning, Bu You returned and made a bet with Mo Jiuzhou, saying that Chihiro would be able to defeat Zu Yi in five years, but how could Chihiro surpass him?
Chihiro opened his eyes and sat up, the rain was still falling outside, and when he opened the window, the cool night breeze mixed with the rain was blowing on his strong chest, but the Snow Clan was cold, so he naturally didn't care about the cold. In the distance, except for a few red lights of flower buildings still swaying in the rain, the rest of the place was pitch black.
Qianxun, the technique of Huiyang Jin, can now be used as he pleases, and the Guiyuan Realm has also entered the inner god level. But the power of the sword spirit, Chihiro has never felt it. Chihiro stroked the raised sword spirit mark on her back, it seemed to be a little bigger than before, and her fingers pressed on it didn't hurt or itch, and it felt no different from ordinary flesh and skin. "Dad, it would be great if you could tell me the secret of the sword spirit in advance. Chihiro reminisced about the past, but there were very few memories of the sword spirit.
At the beginning, Qianshuo put the sword spirit on Chihiro, who was only seven years old, and Chihiro at that time was very little, and Chihiro naturally couldn't tell him the secret, in case it was accidentally leaked, but it was related to the fate of the whole clan. I originally wanted to wait for Chihiro to take over the position of patriarch, and Chishuo would explain all the truth, but unfortunately the disaster came too suddenly, and before I had time to say anything, I was already on a different path.
Chihiro stood in front of the window and thought about it for a long time, but still didn't find anything valuable about the sword spirit, sighed and was about to close the window, but saw a drunk man walking on the street downstairs, holding the wine jar and drinking and walking.
"Drunk like this, it's still raining outside, what's the picture?" Chihiro leaned against the window and looked at the drunk.
The drunkard held the wine jar and poured his head up, but the force of his backwards was a little too strong, and he fell to the ground.
"It's good, the wine jar is broken, and you don't have to drink it. Chihiro chuckled.
The drunkard fell into a puddle of mud, but the jar of wine was firmly held in his hand, and it did not spill at all.
Probably tired from walking, the drunk simply lay down in the mud and couldn't get up, and shouted in his mouth: "Wine, wine, do you think I'm stupid? At the beginning, she said it, and waited for me to come back a year later, but now that I'm back, but what about her? She has become someone else's bride......" The drunk sneered after speaking, laughed and laughed, and buried his head in tears.
A big man, but drunk like this on a rainy night, crying like this. In addition to being hurt by love, what else can it be?
"Brother, it's cold outside, let's rest in the inn. Chihiro went downstairs with a paper umbrella to keep the rain out for the drunk.
The drunk man didn't look up, he put away his crying, he didn't look at Chihiro who was holding an umbrella for him, he staggered up and left, "It's cold outside, but I have wine, and the liquor is in my throat, no matter how cold it is, whatever cold it is, it can be hot." ”
When the weather is cold, there is wine to warm up, but when the heart is cold, what should I use to keep warm?
Chihiro looked at the drunk man who was staggering away in the rain, and asked in a low voice, "Why, there are so many sad people in this continent?"
Cangwu Mountain is majestic, a ridge stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west, it looks like a divine beast lying in peace, if you mention this mountain alone, outsiders may not be very familiar with it, but if you want to say that two hundred years ago, the immortal Taoist priest Yuan Zhong who broke the green peak with a blow to the dust, it can be said that everyone knows. Lingmu Peak and Cangwu Mountain are opposite to each other, separated by a thousands of meters wide Lantau River, in the middle of this river, the upper half of Lingmu Peak that was cut off by Taoist priests is upside down, Lingmu Peak that was originally higher than Cangwu Mountain, but now it is a little shorter.
In the early years, there was a remnant of the Warcraft clan on Lingmu Peak to cultivate here, raising divine beasts, those beasts were huge, bloodthirsty and cruel, there were two-headed pythons lurking in the river, there were fierce tigers who could not penetrate the body of King Kong swords, and some golden monkeys were already psychic, mocking human beings in applause, and the people around the river were all killed. Cangwu Mountain Lingyun Guan Taoist priest heard the news to expel the beast, but unexpectedly more than 20 Taoist priests who are not low in the practice were all eaten up, this annoyed the Guanzhong Zhangjiao, to personally lead a hundred disciples down the mountain to eliminate harm for the people, at that time in the Houshan Stone Cave ten years of retreat in the master brother Yuan Zhong is a great success, people did not show up, a blow of dust broke through the cave, straight to the top of Lingmu Peak to fly, at the same time, and Cangwu Mountain across the river Lingmu Peak emitted a yellow light, and the dust in the air rushed to kill.
The result of the battle between the two can be imagined, Ling Mufeng was stopped and cut off, and the Demon Beast Clan was defeated and fled, not only did the Divine Beast that had been carefully cultivated suffer few casualties, but even his half-life cultivation was abolished. And the Taoist priest Yuanzhong, who has been unknown in the continent, became famous in the year of the Mandate of Heaven, but it was as fleeting as a flash in the pan, because after this battle, Yuanzhong traveled to the mainland for more than ten years, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Now Lingyun Guanguan incense is prosperous, nearly 1,000 disciples in the Tao, pilgrims who go up the mountain to burn incense and pray are endless, the scene is prosperous and beautiful, because since the victory of the Yuanzhong First Battle Devil, the original location is remote, the sparsely populated Cangwu Mountain is gradually lively, the rivers and lakes are crowded, some people want to come to the view to learn art, and some people are because of worship to come to witness the broken half of the Lingmu Mountain, fantasizing about the fierce battle scene of the two masters. Where people gather, there is naturally gold and silver to earn, and the nature that can earn gold and silver is those shrewd businessmen who have vision and courage, they come from thousands of miles to occupy the shop, open the door, and there is the convenience of the Lantau River waterway here, thirty or forty years of hard work, the high-rise buildings around the river are superimposed layer by layer, the more and more rows, the more dense the rows, here it has become a big town in the middle of the continent, Cangling Town.
Gorgeous, magnificent, rich, this Cangling Town, which is located in the middle of Cangwu Mountain and Lingmu Peak, everything is now based on the reputation of Yuanzhong Taoist, and Yuanzhong is from Cangwu Mountain Lingyun Taoist Temple, so the Taoist priests on Cangwu Mountain are all fairy-like characters in the eyes of ordinary people.
Looking at the glamorous attic mansions arranged one after another, Chihiro couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful." ”
"Don't you think it's prosperous?" Frost Fei Jue stopped beside Chihiro, looking at this splendid city, his expression smiling.
Chihiro nodded in response, "The rich and noble world is probably the place it describes." ”
"Little junior brother, look at your little bit of talent, how can the real wealth be easily seen? Don't look at the bright clothes on the street, maybe the poor people in the family are about to be unable to open the pot, but there are some people who are not visible and do not leak, that is the waist is full of money, there is a mountain of gold at home, go out, don't be confused by appearances, let alone lose your eyes by this wealth. Frost Fei Jue said matter-of-factly.
Lan Wuyuan pressed one hand on Frost Feijue's shaking head and asked, "According to what you say, are we rich?"
The four of them were busy on the road, and when they arrived at the foot of Cangwu Mountain before sunset, they were all covered in dust, and there was no trace of rich people. Frost Fei Jue craned his neck, raised his tone and said with a smug face, "Of course." ”
"Rich man, the cost of our stay tonight, did you cover it?" Lan Wuyuan said.
"It's a little mean!" Frost Fei Jue took out his money bag, which was full of bulging broken gold and silver, held it in his hand and said, "It's really a bit hard for us to rush this time, I'll do it now, and eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas as you like." ”
Zu Yi said: "Don't pretend to be garlic, you still have to keep the money to marry a wife, we won't stay in the store tonight." ”
"Don't you live in a store?
Lan Wuyuan looked at Frost Feijue's surprised expression and said with a smile: "Of course I don't live in the wilderness, we will go up the mountain later, I have some friendship with Lingyunguan Hongmu Daoist, now when I go to the door of the house, why do I have to pay a visit." ”
Frost Feijue pretended to regret and said, "Since Uncle Wuyuan has already made arrangements, this can't blame me for being stingy. “
Zu Yi slowly turned his head, and his gaze fell on the uninhabited desert island in the heart of the river, which was the half of the Lingmu Peak that Yuan Chongzhen had cut off with the dust back then.
Two hundred years of time has made it and the river has long been integrated, the undercurrent at the bottom of the river rushes to the sand, so that the original unstable foundation of the peak body has sunk like a root, the peak body is one hundred and eighty zhang higher than the river surface, the forest above is verdant all the year round, there will be some birds will inhabit on it, never see people and beasts infested.
Chihiro saw that the eyes of several people fell on the isolated island in the heart of the river, and couldn't help but wonder, "What are you looking at?" because he didn't know the legendary stories that had happened here.
Zu Yi came back to his senses and said leisurely: "There were immortals in this place who defended the demon way. ”
Frost Fei Jue told Chihiro briefly about the deeds of Yuan Zhong Zhenren, Chihiro was surprised, there could be someone in this world who could have such divine power to cut off half of the mountain, if it weren't for the fact in front of him, Chihiro wouldn't believe it, and then look at the half of the mountain that looks like a desert island in the middle of the river, Chihiro couldn't help but be fascinated.
Lan Wuyuan and the others went up the mountain along the main road, at this time the sun sank to the west mountain, the sunset was beautiful, and sometimes there were bursts of fresh breeze wrapped in the fragrance of flowers and plants, which made people feel relaxed and happy, and they did not feel tired when they walked up the mountain road. After walking for about half an hour, everyone had come to Lingyun Temple, and there was already a small road waiting here.
The little Taoist priest was only about ten years old, with red lips and white teeth, and his eyes were full of spiritual light. "Did you come up the mountain to find someone?" asked the little Taoist priest who was walking at the front.
Seeing that the little Taoist priest looked cute, Frost Fei Jue didn't wait for Lan Wuyuan to answer, but asked, "How do you know that a few of us are here to find people, not to play?"
The little Taoist priest glanced at Frost Feijue and said, "Benguan will no longer accept tourists before dark, if you want to come to play, please go back tomorrow early." "Looking at it, it turned out to be an eviction order.
Shuang Feijue looked at the little Taoist priest with an old-fashioned appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Are the Lingyun Guan Taoist priests so bullish?"
The little Taoist priest's sleeve robe was gently flung on his back, and he turned his face away and stopped talking about Frost Feijue.
"You kid ......" Shuangfei Jue slammed his nose and was about to open his mouth to teach a few words, but he saw a middle-aged Taoist who walked out of the temple and said loudly: "Brother Wuyuan hasn't seen you for many years, how are you doing lately?"
Lan Wuyuan saw that the person who came was none other than Daoist Mahogany, and replied with a smile: "Everything is as usual, it's just the same old way, but Brother Redwood, you haven't seen you for many years, but you are even more energetic." ”
The Mahogany Daoist was only six years older than Lan Wuyuan, but he was already full of gray hair, but this person had a ruddy face and a loud voice, the kind of person who looked old but didn't feel old.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the mahogany Taoist introduced everyone into the view, because Lan Wuyuan was also the first time to come to Lingyun Temple, the mahogany first took them on a short tour of the view, for the magnificent buildings and elegant scenery in the view, the mahogany Taoist chief was not very interested, he and Lan Wuyuan talked about the old things all the way, and explained the scenery they saw all the way.
Everyone walked through the verandah and came to a pond, in the center of the pond there was a half-man high stone pillar, a few wide lotus flowers scattered on the water surface, and occasionally a few red and white brocade fish shuttled under the leaves, swimming beautifully.
The mahogany road chief stopped by the pond and said, "This is the Sword Pond. ”
"I heard that the first generation of Guiguan was in charge of the continent with a superb swordsmanship, and later sealed the sword and retired to build the Lingyun Temple, concentrating on cultivation. This is the place where the sword is sealed?" Lan Wuyuan couldn't help but ask.
The Mahogany Dao Chief stroked his long beard and smiled, "Yes, this is the place." ”
"If you're a sword pool, why don't you have a sword?" asked Frostfeijue.
"Who said there is no sword, isn't that in the middle of the water?" said the little Taoist priest, pointing to the stone pillar in the pool.
"Is that a sword?" Frost Fei Jue looked closely, the stone pillar was short and short, and there was not a trace of a sword.
Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled, the mahogany Taoist chief explained: "What we see outside is only the hilt of the sword, the stone sword was built by the Taoist priest in Guanzhong later, and the sword of the ancestor is sealed in the stone sword. ”
Chihiro was surprised to see that no matter how the fish swam in the water, they would flick their tails away as soon as they got close. "Could it be that the ancestral master's sword still has an aura, so that no foreign object dares to approach?" Just as he was thinking about it, a burning pain suddenly came from his back, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"What's the matter?" Lan Wuyuan asked.
"No, it's nothing...... the pain was fleeting, and Chihiro knew that it was the sword spirit who was doing the trick.
Mahogi Dao Chang looked at Chihiro and asked, "I don't think this little brother looks very good, but there are injuries in his body?"
"Thank you for your concern, I'm not injured, don't bother. "Chihiro.
"Is it really okay?" Lan Wuyuan asked.
"It's fine. ”
