It was getting late, and the two people on the official road found a random hotel and prepared to rest and settle down.

The two of them, Xianying and Xingxie, looked at the guest room, put their luggage, and then sat down and asked for a pot of tea.

The devouring ghost head in the arms of the star demon poked his head out and looked around. Star Evil smiled, gently put it on the ground, and said in a harmonious voice: "Go play by yourself, be careful, don't let people catch it again." ”

Tutun nodded humanely, shrunk into a ball of fur at the feet of the shuttling crowd, and slowly moved out of the hall.

"Aren't you afraid it will run away on its own?" asked String Shadow.

"If it doesn't want to stay with me, it will run away, and it will be as happy as it pleases, but before it leaves, it will definitely come to say goodbye to me. Hoshisha smiled and picked up the teapot and poured it for String Shadow and himself.

Xianying nodded in thanks, smelled the fragrance of tea, and exclaimed: "Good tea, it should be the Maowu of Liuzhou, and at first glance it smells a little like the dragon well of the Emperor's Cliff." ”

"The Dragon Well of the Emperor's Cliff, that's a special offering for the royal family, have you ever been given this kind of tea?" asked the Star Evil.

Xianying smiled noncommittally, lowered his voice, and asked quietly, "Little brother, do you know the origin of the Emperor Cliff?"

"Emperor Cliff is said to be the highest peak of the Imperial Capital Apocalypse City, and under the cliff is the Imperial Palace. Therefore, the Imperial Cliff is also a symbol of imperial power. As for the origin, I haven't heard of it. Star Evil said.

"Actually, I only found out about this matter by chance, reading the ancient books of Tai Academy. Long before the founding of the Sunset Empire, or rather, about 10,000 years ago. Xianying picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "There was once a country that unified the whole world. Including the four major families at that time, and even the Yueyao Continent, which we commonly call the Demon Domain now, are all within the boundaries of that country. ”

Star Evil asked strangely, "And what is the name of this country?"

"I didn't find it either, but the books call that country 'the Kingdom of God', and their emperor, it seems, has been the same for thousands of years, called 'Shenzun'. So I guess that the emperor of the kingdom of God should be ......" Xianying paused.

"Emperor Cangshen?" even if he was as knowledgeable as a star evil, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The Emperor Cangshen is considered by practitioners to be a figure that only exists in myths and legends. He is known as the strongest person in the world since the beginning of heaven and earth. I don't know who this name began to spread, and it was accompanied by too many absurd and uninhibited and whimsical deeds, a large part of which subverted people's traditional perception of spiritual practice.

Legend has it that the Emperor Cangshen was born in a troubled era of continuous war, and was an ordinary child in a small village. When he was fourteen years old, he came home from an outing and saw his mother die in front of his eyes when his village was looted.

So one step is clear, two steps are in the world, and three steps are still virtuous.

Within three steps, the three realms are broken in a row, and the words are followed, and all things are extinguished.

There are also rumors that the Cangshen Emperor Shangxian Realm laid a foundation in that era of strong people, and even the people of the Jingsheng Realm who were willing to be slaves and servants. And the most popular battle of the Emperor Feng is that the Emperor Cangshen defeated more than 20 of the combined Jingsheng Realm powers on an unknown cliff with the Shangxian realm, and broke through the realm in one fell swoop, and since then he has ruled the world and has no opponent.

Thinking back to this, the star evil suddenly realized, according to Xianying, that cliff must be the current Emperor Cliff. It's just that such characters really exist, which is still a little difficult to accept.

Xianying looked at Xingxie's slightly stunned thinking appearance, thinking that his argument had been told to many people, most of them took into account his identity, and generally said a few words and perfunctory past, and several famous people in the Tai Academy, such as the dean, also cocked their beards at that time and directly accused him of not being strict in his studies, and he was a bunch of nonsense. The only one who is really willing to think seriously and does not make a conclusion is the young man in white in front of him. So I looked at the star evil a little higher in my heart.

The teacup bottomed out, and it was difficult for the two of them to go deep into this topic, so Xianying turned his words and continued.

"Not to mention the events of thousands of years ago, even today, there are many strong people. Although I am a scholar, I have heard of those legendary great cultivators. For example, the eight dragon generals of our Sunset guarded the eight directions and supported the entire Sunset Empire, so they are also called the pillars of the empire. Across the sea of dragon crying, the six Jiao of the Yuanxu Islands sat on the sea as the king, and the wind demons of the Dome family, the Snow Emperor, the Lei Gong, and the four Yunnu ruled the heavens and called for wind and rain. The Suyan family even has a military king known as the world's number one general and a medicine fairy with unparalleled medical skills, and the Fallen God family also has a mysterious shadow master, even if he is thousands of miles away, he can easily take people's heads. A large part of them became famous in the seventeen-year Cangyang War, and since then they have been powerful all over the world. ”

Listening to the words of the String Shadow, the Star Evil longed for the demeanor of those amazing and brilliant cultivators. However, he thought about it, how tragic the battle of Cangyang was at that time, and these prestige were not built on the accumulation of white bones, and his face darkened again.

Perhaps from that day on the Sifang Mountain, the Star Evil had a deeper thought about the word "power". He practiced all the way, and his original intention was to make everyone's life better, but now that he wants to save his senior brother, then there will inevitably be many obstacles on this path. He didn't want to hurt anyone, and he didn't want his senior brother to be in danger, so what should he do?

Xing Xie stared at the bottom of the cup with only a few tea leaves left in front of him, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes that had always been clean and gentle.

At this moment, the words of the former senior brother on the official road echoed in his ears again.

"Fighting cannot be avoided because the conflict of interests between people cannot be avoided. Just like if you don't provoke others in life, it doesn't mean that others won't covet your things. ”

"I'm going to save Brother Eternal Night, so no matter what, I'm going to protect him. Xingevil shook his head, trying to shake off the hesitation in his head.

Xianying looked at the expression of the star evil in his eyes and said, "I see that the little brother is full of energy, and the divine light flashes in his body, so he must also be a cultivator." ”

"To tell you the truth, I am indeed a cultivator, but I have just gotten a glimpse of the doorway, and there are still many things I don't understand in my cultivation. Star Evil replied sincerely.

Xianying nodded, thoughtful, and then said: "I think that cultivation and reading are the same, and the more you read, the more you understand, but to comprehend the true meaning, you still need to travel thousands of miles, do everything, and work diligently." ”

"You have a point. When Xing Xie heard Xianying's words, his heart suddenly brightened, and he said with admiration.

The moon is high and the teapot is empty. Maybe it was because of the fatigue of the journey, and after the star evil and the string shadow finished talking, they went upstairs to rest early. The lobby of the inn gradually became deserted, and Xianying played with the teacup in his hand, his eyes flickering. He got up and pushed the door, walked out of the inn in a leisurely stroll, and came to the small bamboo forest on the side.

In the sparse bamboo forest, there is a small white fur ball.

Xianying looked at the hairball at his feet with interest, and said, "Swallow?"

The little furball glanced at the string shadow and replied, "The old lady is not called Tuntun." Also, you guy looks weird, what are your plans to follow the Star Evil?"

"What are your plans?" String Shadow chuckled, "Even if I want to kill him, with your current strength, you can stop me?"

"If the old lady hadn't been injured, it would have been okay to stop you, but now she is really not your opponent. Tun Tun raised his hind legs and scratched the roots of his ears, "But even if I lend you a hundred guts, you won't dare to make a move." ”

Xianying shook his head, nodded again, and said, "That's true. When I first entered Chishui City, someone gave me a very stern warning, presumably that person lives in your courtyard. ”

"You know our rules, friend or foe. I was also surprised when I first met you, because we don't seem to have any record of your vitality here. But that old bastard let you go, is it really because he's too old to fight anymore, so he turns a blind eye to you?"

"You?" said with a smile, "I'm a scholar, where can I pose any threat to you." I just want to read and live my own leisurely life. ”

"And. Xianying paused and continued: "I heard that the patriarch of the Takith clan and the king of the demon domain are going crazy looking for you, or I can help those two poor old fellows, maybe I can get some reward." ”

"You dare!" Swallow Man stood up, narrowed his dark eyes, and looked at the elegant scholar in front of him with great vigilance.

"Why, do you really think that I am a person who pities my life, and I lose my life. There was a sense of madness in Xianying's words, but he looked gentle and calm, like a teacher who was patiently solving students' doubts, "Do you think that between heaven and earth, your family is the only one? ”

"You're in league with them. Swallow said coldly.

Xianying didn't answer, but yawned, and said unhurriedly: "Forget it today, let you live a little longer, even if it is a face for the little brother who sells stars." If it weren't for the different camps, I would have liked to have a good conversation with him. Also, if you meet on the battlefield in the future and are not defeated by you, you should remember today's feelings and put them on the next life path. ”

As the words fell, the String Shadow paced the square steps and walked straight towards the inn.

Tun Tun looked at the back of Xianying in the distance, and said to himself: "If it weren't for the crazy blood flowing from this guy's body, the old lady would be really moved to look at his handsome appearance, but since he is an enemy or a friend, he can only give up." Besides, the little star evil in the old lady's family will grow up in the future, but he may not be worse than him. ”

The evening breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and Tun Tun clumped his body into a ball and fell into a deep sleep.

The bamboo, which was originally verdant and dripping, turned into powder in the wind and dissipated into the sky......
