Yang Ze, Ji Linger and others successively entered the core of the monument. The moment you step into the monument, what appears in front of everyone's eyes is as if it is another piece of the world.

Yang Ze was stunned in place, Ji Linger's beautiful eyes kept widening, Xuanyuan Qinglang couldn't help but sigh, Xuanyuan Cod Tian only whispered, "Is this Qingxu?"

There is another world hidden in the monuments, where everyone stands is the green grass is vigorously spread into an endless grass carpet, and occasionally the place that cannot be hidden, there is a mottled marble surface of the monuments, and the stone slabs are carved with beautiful ancient seals, as if to show those years that have not been remembered for a long time. The years are long, the long-lived vines are charming and meandering, the fluffy grass is flying in groups, the giant wood buds are blooming, and the golden crow sun falling in the west projects a pillar of light with a golden color in the forest.

As far as their eyes could see, there was a huge circular sinkhole resembling some ancient Colosseum. Ten miles in a radius constitutes a huge circular sinkhole, extending down in the form of steps, obviously it is artificially excavated, each step has a height of seven or eight meters, looking down from the height where the four people are, the circle of one step after another, forming a different level of eye-catching height, the lowest position, but not a beautiful residence or palace, but a sparse Stonehenge.

The location of the people is more than ten meters in radius, and it can be seen from the joints of those connections that it is a stone brick, and this huge and vast monument sinkhole is actually made of such stones.

The sinkhole is so huge that in a position parallel to the four people, there are flocks of howling swallows soaring, soaring in the setting sun in the west, pulling the shadows of the four people on the ground.

When the spirit beasts from the outside world come here, they can only crawl forward and be weak, but the howling swallows that grow here can fly so carefree and free. No matter how great the war is in the outside world, there is another kind of grandeur and vitality in the monuments at this time. It was a breath of life that was so pervasive that it made people palpitate.

Seeing those flying swallows drawing a graceful arc in the "air" of the almost parallel sinkhole, Yang Ze gave birth to a heartfelt vibrating resonance for this freedom at this moment.

After experiencing exile, mediation, and great war, the tranquility of the sunset at this moment, the golden clouds in the sky, but it gives people a hard-won touch of tranquility.

Because he was touched, at this moment, Yang Ze also realized. Because of his realization, he felt that there were some potential changes in his body.

Those blue sky and red-hot clouds, the graceful flying figure of the howling swallow, were reflected in Ji Linger's deep pupils, and the same change in Yang Ze's body was also carefully observed by her. Her eyes touched Yang Ze, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, a little surprised and a little surprised, "You advanced again just now?"

From the peak of the Dixuan Nine Rank in the battle of life and death, now with the subtle changes in his physical temperament, he has actually crossed one by one, quickly advanced to the eighth grade, and successively broke through the inner stagnation, and went up in one fell swoop, reaching the peak of the eighth grade, and the threshold of the seventh grade was slowly reduced.

With this change, Yang Ze has successfully jumped a grade!

Although the body still bears the internal and external injuries and even the muscles and tendons after the fierce battle, the progress of cultivation can transcend the limitations of **.

When the eight grades are reached, the internal qi is regenerated from the more intensified qi sea vein points, and the eight veins of the Qi meridian are wandered, quickly reducing the injury, forming a magical healing effect. This not only represents the improvement of cultivation, but also represents that his body is stronger than before.

When the four of them entered the monument, they seemed to be awakened by sensing some special fluctuations, or the four of them broke in, causing the originally calm aura here to shift. The sound of gala la la came from all around, and the four of them looked out, and immediately found that the boundary of the monument was actually born a faint cyan light, like the light of the polar region in a winter night, surrounding the entire monument.

The young masters of the four sects who were close to the four of them also came one step late, no matter how they used the [***] method of the single sect, they were all blocked by that green mang, and the green mang was like an iron wall to everyone at this moment, and no one entered the monument from behind them.

Everyone was anxious and attacked. The sound of the roar was endless, but after the smoke and dust of those true qi exploded violently and dissipated, only the green mangs were seen fluctuating under the action of external forces, but there were no defects or damages. Keep everyone out with dry eyes

Seeing the formation ban caused by the Dao Dao blue light that appeared, Yang Ze was inexplicably excited in the explosion of that powerful aura, this is the residual protective aura of the formation in the land of green ruins, because the runes were engraved and absorbed, so at the right time, it can be triggered to protect this ancient site. It's just that this protective formation has been in a state of idleness for a long time, and the place it wants to protect has also become a thing and a person for a long time.

"Is there really such a thing as a forbidden protective shield? The aura between heaven and earth is really a very magical product in the world, if there are gods in this world, these should be the brilliance of gods."

Hearing the look of surprise and happiness in Yang Ze's tone, Xuanyuan Cod Tian turned his head, and Ying Ruoqiushui's big eyes couldn't help but pass a little lost and silent, obviously the changed image that Yang Ze had finally given her before was revealed at this moment, and immediately said in a crisp voice, "A real great cultivator should have the consciousness and pride of a great cultivator, and he should be extremely heart-wrenching to reflexively kill the generals and defeat all those who dare to stop you!" It should go against the trend, not because of the sudden appearance of the external environment, and help to be lucky."

She could still recall that Yang Ze's three moves like a god descended from heaven just now brought her a feeling of puffing and puffing, so she couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"In the era before me, everything was about sailing with the current, going with the flow, and taking advantage of the situation was an excellent strategy," Yang Ze narrowed his eyes, "Whether it is war, or political latitude and power, taking advantage of the situation is the easiest way to achieve the goal." It's like a lever, I can do ten things with three points of strength, so why spend seven points or more to do the same thing? If I can find the best way to escape, why should I go back to the past and fight to the death with those people, is it to prove that face is more important? But what is face to me? ”

It was the first time for Xuanyuan Qinglang to hear Yang Ze's theory, which was a bit subversive for him who regarded glory as his life.

Even Ji Ling'er looked at Yang Ze, although she recognized Yang Ze's words logically, but she was proud in her heart, she still couldn't help but feel that these words were a little shameless?

"Don't compare the mundane things you used to do in the nobles of the Houmen, you are a layman. Do you only know how to run away with oil on the soles of your shoes?"

"Again, it's evacuation, not escape. The former is a planned preservation of vital forces. The latter is the one who fled because he was timid and afraid. You should understand that although I don't want to cause trouble, I have never been afraid of it. Yang Zexuan'er sighed, "What's more, do you think I don't want to beat the group of guys in the back?" The power borrowed by Aoki Lingzhong is limited, and it is only enough for me to perform three moves. After that, of course, you can only run away. ”

"Brother Yang really borrowed the power of the Aoki Order, this Qingdi Treasure is really extraordinary. Although it can only borrow the power of three moves, each blow has such an irresistible power. Xuanyuan Qinglang held back all the time, and couldn't help nodding again and again.

"It turned out that it was really borrowed from the Blue Emperor's strange treasure. Let me give you a thumbs up for nothing. Xuanyuan Cod Tian could still think of the scene when Yang Zeru was reborn, compared to it, he was like a tall and mighty lion before, but now he has become a cunning and shameless fox. Especially because of Yang Ze's "lion image", he was still excited, and now he really felt a little annoyed with a broken impression, "If you really have that kind of temperament and cultivation, everything will be fine, and you can fight so many young masters on the continent, I'm afraid that after today, you will be completely famous." I can't say that I can still get a little bit of Brother Yuwen's clothes, and now I just rely on the Qingdi Treasure, that is, I really deserve to erect so many strong enemies for nothing! Sister Ling'er, you really shouldn't have come to Dihai! It's really troublesome to get involved with him. ”

The name Yu Wenjing has been repeatedly recited by Xuanyuan Cod in recent days. It has already become a mountain-like chasm that she has measured and attacked Yang Ze, this great god that the two empires want to woo, and even the young masters of many famous and noble women in the mainland outside crying and shouting to admire and admire are like fireflies and shimmering light around the bright moon. He Yang Ze is even more inadequate. It may not even be enough for the god Yuwen to grab and plug his teeth in his spare time.

"If you really have that kind of cultivation" Ji Ling'er's eyes fell on Yang Ze, because a trace of reverie made his eyes faint and mottled. But then her eyes drooped slightly, and her bright eyes dimmed a little, "It's fine." ”

Ji Linger's demeanor fell on Yang Ze's eyes, and seeing her clear and beautiful expression shaken, Yang Ze felt that his eyelids also had a tingling rhythm.

Seeing Xuanyuan Cod Tian and Xuanyuan Qinglang's bodies again, there have been many injuries, although some of the external injuries have closed the meridians to stop the bleeding, but they are still stained with blood on the robe and skirt, he looked sideways slightly, and said to Xuanyuan Cod Tiandao, "I owe you a lot for coming to Dihai for me and being in such trouble, I am really grateful." There's not much I can do, but if one day I want to be in the same situation because of you, Yang Ze will not give up. ”

"Bah, crow's mouth. Xuanyuan Cootian, who couldn't believe that Yang Ze sincerely thanked him, was stunned, but it was not good to continue to count Yang Ze, and waved his hand very uncomfortably, "No, anyway, since I came here to be with you, even if I am unlucky." At this time, Nizi didn't forget to throw some angry words, and then began to move towards the stone formation under the sinkhole.

"Now this girl is very interested in seeing what was left of the big man who subdued the entire earth and sea thousands of years ago!"

Being so mobilized by the energetic Kunlun Cruel Lady, although Yang Ze and Ji Ling'er were embarrassed and silent, they couldn't help but move and entered the majestic circular pit façade of the Qingxu Monument.

As everyone ran towards the façade, the canopy above them became farther and farther away, and each of these stairs was seven or eight meters high, and if it weren't for cultivators but ordinary people, it would be tantamount to a large piece of wall for them. As the four of them descended, the canopy was bounded by this funnel-shaped cone.

Countless howling birds have built their nests on these grass-covered steps, and the four of them marched towards the stone henge in the depths, and immediately Pu Shasha attracted a burst of birds, which was spectacular.

With the depth of the hinterland facing down, the marble on the edge shows a lot of ancient seals, Ji Linger and Xuanyuan Qinglang two brothers and sisters are born in a place like Xituo Kunlun, naturally know a little about these ancient seals, most of them are about the deeds of the Qingdi in the earth, and those rubbings of the seven realms of the earth, there is no difference, but rarely mention the life and situation of the Qingdi after his retreat. and the place where everyone cares most about the inheritance

Everyone finally came to the bottom of the façade of the funnel, which was almost hundreds of meters, and looked down from a high place, and saw the stone henge like building blocks. However, this time at the bottom of the sinkhole, I finally understood the magnitude of these boulders. The boulders are ten meters high, to say the least, and they are arrayed in front. There are also ancient vines hanging on it, and there are many ornaments on the boulders, all of which are engraved with distant runes that are enough for Ji Ling'er and the three of them to recognize.

Not far on the ground, groundwater violates geography and circumvents a curved stone pillar, and then drips down from the height of the stone pillar, forming a clear spring on the ground.

The four of them were already a little dry-mouthed, and when they saw the clear spring in front of them, Xuanyuan Qinglang probed in with a crown hairpin to confirm that there was no poisonous biogas, so the four of them held water to drink and replenish it, and found that the water was full of spiritual energy, which was a great supplement for the four people after a big war. The four of them rested on the spot, and then carefully explored the four aspects.

After about two quarters of an hour, everyone returned to the location of Qingquan, and Xuanyuan Qinglang shook his head, "If it is said that this is the hinterland of Qingxu, it is really a little unbelievable, because so far, nothing strange has been found. ”

Xuanyuan Cod Tian was a little depressed for a while, "It's really tiring, if it's really the place where the Green Emperor lives in seclusion, then at least there must be a place to live, is it true that the Green Emperor takes the sky as the quilt and lives on the ground? Even so, there must be pots and pans these inheritances." Even if he cultivates to the world, he can skip eating or drinking regardless of his appetite. If this is the place where his bones are buried, there must be at least a tombstone and a grave or something, but it doesn't look like there are those things here!"

"Don't worry, we can look for it again. Ji Ling'er shook her head, although she had a look of worry, she still looked at Yang Ze, "You are the body of the spiritual vein, you should have a keener sense of the aura of heaven and earth, have you found anything?"

They went deep into the hinterland of the Qingxu, but the appearance of the Qingmu Ling has caused many shocks from the sects in the outside world, and it is believed that more and more masters will be alarmed here, although the ruins of the Qingdi have blocked those people from the outside world with the remnant formation, but if they have no way to advance or retreat, it is equivalent to death.

Although the outside formation ban is effective, after all, it is hard to believe how long this large-scale formation can be effective? At that time, they will have no way to face the final battle.

"I'll try. Yang Ze sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and with the extremely keen sense of aura of the spirit shaper, he sensed the sea and felt the aura between heaven and earth.

The aura of this land is very abundant and strong, and it can be known that there is a leyline aura to breed, so the spring water actually has abundant aura, which is not weaker than some pills. But this is not because there is anything precious about the groundwater, but because of the abundance of aura in the whole land. Because he suspected that the true ruins of the Blue Emperor were underground, Yang Ze deepened the scope of his detection of the sea and the ground, but in the end, he did not feel any source of strong spiritual qi divergence.

Just like the Hidden Dragon Sword in the Cloud Ting Realm at that time that was absorbed by Yang Ze with the Spirit Yuan, the Hidden Dragon Sword only existed there, and Yang Ze could feel the strong spiritual pressure of its powerful spirit treasure. And now there is no radioactive source with a strong aura, which means that there are no exotic treasures under the land. Without a treasure, how can the Qingdi inherit it?

For this reason, Yang Ze could only probe his divine sense into his Mud Pill Palace in the end and face the old man of the Yuan God.

"Since you know that Gu Hao is the Aoki Order, and you also know the origin of the Aoki Order, it doesn't matter if you didn't tell me before, then now you should always know, where is the real heritage of the Green Emperor?"

The old man of the Yuan God understated, "Is the Aoki Ling very important to you? Of course it doesn't matter, only the people in the earth and sea worship him like a treasure. In that case, what does it matter if the black sword in your hand is Gu Mao or Aoki Ling. As for the return of the Green Emperor, I didn't know there was such an interesting place, otherwise I would have come to explore it earlier, and if I had come earlier, I would have told you all the secrets now. Now it seems to me that I haven't found anything strange for the time being, but this place always makes me look forward to something, and I should find something, so I'll check it first. ”

Yang Zezhong opened his eyes again and faced the three people waiting. Shaking his head, "I haven't found anything yet." ”

The morning star twinkled in the sky, and this oasis in the snow-capped mountains and snowfields was not affected by the harsh climate in the snowfields, on the contrary, the oasis became a world of its own. It's like spring coming overnight.

Night falls.

Xuanyuan was sunny and burned a bonfire with dead branches and leaves to ward off the cold for the four of them at night. The sound of the flames licking the dead wood and "crackling" couldn't stop ringing.

It can be seen that the two brothers and sisters of Kunlun are out of the house, and they have always been the eldest brother as the father, and everything is managed by Xuanyuan Cod, including picking firewood, regardless of the cracked robes and collecting dead branches. Then he sat on the trunk of a large tree that fell to the ground and blew the stove and made a fire, which provoked him to blacken his cheeks and crooked his hair.

Xuanyuan Tian's eyes were wide open, and he sat and watched Xuanyuan Qinglang busy, and occasionally Yang Ze and Ji Ling'er helped pick up some spare firewood.

Seeing Ji Ling'er wearing a watery robe and holding a bunch of dead branches with weathered bark in her arms, not like the saint girl admired by countless people, but like a village girl, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and point, "Sister Ling'er, your sleeves are all dirty!"

Ji Ling'er smiled, brushed the green silk at the corner of her mouth with her free hand, found a slightly thicker piece of good dry material for preparing firewood, and leaned over, but Yang Ze's hand held the other end of the branch at the same time.

Holding the branches at the same time, but touching each other at the same time.

Facing Ji Linger's slightly raised slapstick and beautiful face, she immediately thought that this girl did not belong to her. Thinking that in that distant place, there was another existence that he could not touch in any way. Yang Ze's heart twitched suddenly, and even the corners of his eyes shrank slightly.

Then he let go of his hand and turned to pick up more dead branches in the distance.

Ji Ling'er stood in place, her clothes fluttering in the breeze, holding firewood, carrying the stars on her back, and watching Yang Ze's back leaning over in the distance. Standing for a long time, the green silk in front of him was gently scattered and lingering.

There are more and more firewood piles around the campfire, enough to survive this cold night. And beyond the head, the roar of outsiders attacking the ban can also be heard occasionally. It was interrupted and continued, accompanied by some shouting and swearing.

The ban has been around for a long time, and now it is less than a tenth of its power. I can't last long, I don't know if I can still hold on to it when dawn comes.

And the next day the sun will continue to rise, and the final battle will come. Either they died in a battle against the water, or they broke out of the encirclement, crossed the snowfield, broke through the Vulture Mountains, and finally arrived at Wuzhou Gorge and left the sea of earth.

But this is almost only a slim hope.

"We're going to die, right?" The light and shadow of the bonfire swayed on Xuanyuan Cod's beautiful face, making this beautiful Miss Kunlun who was a little cute and heartless, and also began to feel a little nostalgic for the possibility of her youth and her poor life. She crossed her arms around her body, her nails digging into her arms. For the first time, she developed a certain awe, fear, and fear of life and death. She looked down at herself as she had taken off her boots, her tender mushroom-like toes bare and slightly taut on the soles of her feet, which had been warmed by the fire.

"Nonsense! I'm going to be mad if you say this nonsense again. Xuanyuan Qinglang frowned, staring at this unconscious sister very seriously.

Xuanyuan Tiantian's nose twitched slightly, raised his head, his eyes fluctuated faintly, as if he was a little scared of his brother at this moment, "Okay, then I won't talk about it." ”

Yang Ze looked at the flickering flames, but he thought in his heart why this damn old man of the Yuan Shen didn't have a clue. More occasionally look at the Gu Hao at hand in a daze. I thought that since I had the ancient water, I faintly felt that there was a sense of summoning here, so why did I enter the depths of the ancient monument, but this feeling disappeared out of thin air. He couldn't laugh or cry, thinking to himself, God, you shouldn't be playing with me.

Ji Ling'er's eyes flickered, thoughtful, and suddenly she got up, walked to the side, and when she came to Yang Ze's side, she said in a low voice, "You come with me." ”

Xuanyuan Qinglang, the two siblings looked up at Yang Ze for a moment, and then looked down at the snow-white toes and the flames in front of them.

Yang Ze got up slightly stunned and walked towards Ji Ling'er, who was standing under a canopy tree in the distance.

Seeing her like a goddess under the moon, if possible, Yang Ze didn't want to have any more contact with her, because every point of contact might make him forget it for ten times and a hundred times. Forgetting is the easiest thing to do, and it has the potential to be the hardest. Because there are things that are never big and easy to forget. It's not easy to forget a glance at her delicate body that is not stained with half of the dust, and it's not easy to forget her indifferent appearance but kindness in her heart. It's not easy to forget the feeling of holding her in your arms. I can't forget when she smiles, which can make the breeze fade and the flowers and plants be ashamed.

But he always knew it all had to come to an end. When he walked towards Ji Ling'er, he secretly reminded himself that it was time to understand.

Coming to Ji Ling'er, Yang Ze smiled slightly, "Is it the sentence that I didn't say goodbye to before?" I apologize for this, I understand that I was a little reckless, and I shouldn't even leave those things, if there is a next time, I won't do it." He smiled wryly, "Heh, there's actually no next time." ”

I don't know when he and Ji Ling'er talked so strangely and distantly. In reality, however, they should have been so far away. Because the surname Tian is so strong, he is unwilling to hear some cruel things from Ji Ling'er's mouth, so he might as well isolate himself from the people first.

Ji Ling'er looked at him for a long time, but this short time made Yang Ze feel a long time, so long that he felt a little back pain when he stood up.

"Some of the things that Xuanyuan Cod told you before, some of them are not true, and I think it is necessary to correct them. ”

"Hmm"

"Yu Wenjing, my senior brother Xituo has been like a light in the wind and snow since he was a child. We used to depend on each other like that, so in my reverence for him, there is also a kind of dependence" When Ji Ling'er said this, her expression seemed to be immersed in memories, and the gentle demeanor that was revealed made Yang Ze's mood a little panicked. He can sometimes think through and accept some results, but he is not willing to face such a naked blow.

What a kind woman. Clever but a little stupid. Did she think that by untying her heart knots in this way, she would be able to calm everything?

This is like saying that you are actually a good person when rejecting others, which makes Yang Ze almost want to turn away and not want to listen.

Ji Ling'er smiled infatuated and gentle in reverie again, "Maybe even some admiration, these are indeed there." ”

Yang Ze sighed secretly. Think of it as a bright dream, you may wake up distressed, entangled, and occasionally sad, but this is a dream that can't be chased. The most precious thing in life is knowing how to give.

Ji Ling'er's obsidian-like eyes finally froze on his body and blinked, "However, this is completely different from what Xuanyuan Cod Heaven said before. ”

"So," she smiled, "don't listen to her nonsense, okay?"

Don't listen to her nonsense, okay?

Yang Ze looked at Ji Ling'er who was smiling in a daze, and was still relieving himself and chewing on the deep meaning contained in these words. Don't listen to her nonsense, don't listen to her nonsense, don't listen to her exaggerates

Can you say it yourself?

Looking at Yang Ze's stunned appearance, Ji Ling'er smiled "poof!", and her figure staggered past him, Yingying walked forward, bringing a faint fragrance breeze.

Walking beyond the canopy of the big tree, Ji Ling'er turned around as if she remembered something, glanced at him with her eyes fluttering, and said slightly, "By the way, I wrote down the poem you left that day, and I will probably always remember it, it's very well written." ”

Yang Ze was stunned under the tree for a long time before he followed closely and returned to the edge of the bonfire. Seeing Ji Linger's side face from the side, she didn't look at him, but under the light of the fire, her cheeks had a faint red color. Seduce all beings.

Xuanyuan Cod Tian looked at the two of them suspiciously, "What are you muttering?"

Ji Ling'er smiled slightly and didn't answer, but Yang Ze's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

Ji Ling'er didn't need to explain this, so what did all this mean?

In the middle of the night, the sound of external attacks and bans seemed to subside.

Sleepiness gradually hit, and Xuanyuan cod slouched on Xuanyuan's sunny lap after meditating and slept soundly.

Yang Ze sat quietly and silently next to Ji Ling'er on the same horizontal log, between the two of them quietly nose-to-nose, Yang Ze's shoulders suddenly stiffened, and Ji Linger's head rested lightly on his arm.

The night is like splashing ink, but the stars are shining brightly.

No matter what tomorrow will face, no matter whether tomorrow will come or not, whether the morning sun can rise or not, at least this moment, it is extremely peaceful.

(To be continued)
