Chapter 127 Beacon Fire

The night of Chishan City is approaching, the big sun sets on the mountain, and the corner of the moon is exposed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Inside the lobby of the Willow Inn.

"This is going to kill me!" a slightly chubby middle-aged man grumbled with a sad face.

He raised his hand and pointed to the shopkeeper in front of him, trembling his hands, and said, "You, you, I let you watch the inn, why don't you stop them from fighting?"

"It's okay now, beat the inn to pieces, even if you lose money, but tomorrow the inn is open, what do you let the guests do?"

The shopkeeper's face was full of embarrassment, and he said: "You told me to stop it, I have to stop it?" Those masters fight, if I get up, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me now, and you have to prepare a coffin for me......"

The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed angrily: "You still dare to talk back to me?"

He blew his beard and glared at the shopkeeper, raising his hand to fight, "See if I don't teach you a lesson!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly raised his hand to protect himself, and said, "Don't be the shopkeeper, be quiet!, but there are still two masters living upstairs, don't make them unhappy!"

The second floor of the Willow Inn, in the guest room.

Zhang Xiyun sat at the table, picking up two pieces of cooked meat to eat from time to time, thinking about what had happened recently.

Wu Yu was lying on the bed, two hours ago, after Zhang Xiyun let him swallow the pill, he combed his muscles and veins with his strength, and then he fell into a deep sleep, and now the blood on his face has gradually recovered, his body is wrapped with a white cloth, and the wound has stopped bleeding.

When Zhang Xiyun was thinking to himself, there was a coughing sound on the bed, and when he heard it, Wu Yu slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

He hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and said to Wu Yu, "Brother Wu, are you feeling better?"

Wu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him, struggled to straighten up, and Zhang Xiyun hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Wu Yu got up, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the wine and meat on the table, a complicated smile appeared on his face, and said to Zhang Xiyun: "Bring me the altar of wine." ”

Zhang Xiyun was stunned when he heard this, and Wu Yu said again: "Didn't you say it, get drunk with me?"

"Good. Zhang Xiyun sighed, simply moved the whole table to the side of the bed, and was about to serve wine for Wu Yu, but he stopped him and directly took a jar of wine.

"It's too stingy to drink from a cup, just hug yourself with a jar. As he spoke, Wu raised his head and drank a small half jar of spirits.

Zhang Xiyun smiled helplessly, sat down, and also lifted a jar of wine, and drank it with Wu Yu.

"Good wine!" Wu Yu put down the wine jar, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, lifted the chopsticks again, sandwiched a large piece of cooked meat, and put it in his mouth.

Zhang Xiyun looked at Wu Yu and said, "Brother Wu......"

Wu Yu interrupted him, looked at him and said, "You...... Who the hell is it?"

Zhang Xiyun's expression froze, and he was dumbfounded for a while.

"I know best what Zhou Junhao is capable of, and you, but the cultivation of breaking four of the eight doors, killing Zhou Junhao is probably not easier than stepping on an ant......" He laughed at himself, "Even a year ago, when my body was not broken, I didn't dare to say that I would definitely be able to beat you......"

"With such a skill, he pretended to be a passer-by between his words before, but he was so interested in the affairs of Chishan City......" Wu Yu took another sip of wine, and what he wanted to say in his heart was already self-evident.

Zhang Xiyun was slightly embarrassed, and after taking another sip of wine, Fang said: "There is indeed something going on in Chishan City before coming down, but I am inexplicably trapped in the city, so I naturally want to know why Chishan City has changed like this?"

Wu Yu smiled and said: "Didn't someone tell you before, there was an epidemic in Chishan City, so the city was closed. ”

Zhang Xiyun sighed, and said, "On the night three days ago, what is the explanation for the mournful crying and the roaring fire?"

"Three days ago on the night, Chishan City broke into a big demon, the city lord with everyone to fight, so there is this difference, the big demon dying self-destructed, blowing up the entire night sky, but also before death to perform a demon art, is now the epidemic in the city, dyed to die, the city lord and the heads of the family, is breaking the demon arts, so will close the city. ”

Wu Yu opened his mouth indifferently, hearing Zhang Xiyun's frowning, he didn't expect that the City Lord's Mansion and the family would actually come up with such an excuse in a vain attempt to hide it from the world, but how could they be sure that the curse would not happen again after that night, if the curse happened again, wouldn't the lie be self-defeating.

Seeing him frowning, Wu Yu snorted, and then said, "I don't believe you either......

"Of course, this is just the statement of the City Lord's Mansion, and it is just a matter of hearing it to passers-by. ”

Zhang Xiyun raised his head suddenly, looked at Wu Yu, and was speechless for a while.

Wu Yu is the sister-in-law of the Wu family, and the most beloved grandson of the old man Wu, although he is useless for some reason, and he was swept out of the house by the Wu family, but he must know a lot of the real secrets of Chishan City, and even the real secrets that the people of Chishan City do not know.

"Brother Wu would like to tell?" Zhang Xiyun thought for a while, and finally asked, he actually had a lot of worries in his heart, but now no one can let him know more things than Wu Yu, and Wu Yu is actually no longer a member of the family, he wants to gamble.

Wu Yu's face was a little hesitant, he raised the wine jar and drank it all in one gulp.

"I can tell you everything I know, and even what you want to do in Chishan City, I can do my best to help you, but you also have to promise to do one thing for me. ”

Wu looked at Zhang Xiyun in vain and put forward his own conditions, he didn't care what Zhang Xiyun was going to do, even if Zhang Xiyun wanted to destroy Chishan City, and he only had one thing to do now, and even his mind was full of that red dress.

Zhang Xiyun frowned, as if he had guessed a few points, and hesitated: "What Brother Wu said...... What's the matter?"

"Five days later, Zhou and Song got married, and now I am in a wasted body, only by you and me can I sneak into the Song family and take her away......"

Zhang Xiyun was dumbfounded when he heard it, it was really related to the woman in red, but Wu Yu actually wanted him to help him rob the marriage!

"Brother Wu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you must know that what you want me to break into is one of the six great families in Chishan City, even if my strength is good among the mortal monks, but the six great families all have Xianlu monks in charge, and if I take you, it will be equivalent to losing and looking for death!"

Wu Yu lifted a jar of wine again, but it was no longer so heroic, but poured it into the bowl, and the hand that poured the wine seemed to tremble a little.

"Don't worry, I won't let you accompany me to die, on the day of the wedding, the Zhou family welcomes relatives, and the strong people of the Song family will inevitably go out to greet each other, and the guards in the backyard are at most monks who have broken the eight gates......"

"Besides, I want you to take me into the Song family, not the Zhou family, the current Song family, the strong are withering, and they are almost no longer qualified to take the name of the six great families, if not, why force Jin Yao to marry the Zhou family......"

He kept pouring and drinking, and the smile on his face was very desolate.

Wu looked at Zhang Xiyun and said, "Before you appeared, no one would help me in this matter, I only had to put my only hope on you, even if you refused, I would still go to the Song family in five days." ”

Zhang Xiyun helplessly supported his forehead, and the meaning of Wu's vain words was obviously with a will to die.

"Even if I go to Song's house with you and see her, how can I leave?"

Wu Yu raised his head when he heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "As long as I see Jinyao and she is willing to leave with me, we will definitely be able to leave the Song family!"

Zhang Xiyun hesitated, but finally asked, "Can you ...... What if she refuses?"

Wu Yu's expression froze, and it was not until a long time passed that he smiled sadly and muttered, "If she refuses...... If she refuses to ......"

Zhang Xiyun sighed, the matter of robbing the marriage is too dangerous, and he himself is the person who the family wants to kill, it is really difficult to accept it casually, although Wu Yu said it simply, but once the slightest change occurs, I am afraid that he will not be as lucky as three days ago, and he will inevitably be caught by the family.

He stood up and said, "I want to come to Brother Wu, you only learned about the wedding of Zhou and Song five days later, and I have no idea for a while, but the matter of robbing the marriage is by no means as easy as I thought, and I don't dare to agree casually, Brother Wu, you are still ......."

"Think about it again, I live in the next room tonight, and as for this room, I will leave it to Brother Wu......" After saying that, Zhang Xiyun was leaving.

He had just pushed open the door, but was stopped by Wu Yu again.

"Wait......" Wu looked at him and said, "When you come back, I'll tell you about Chishan City." ”

Zhang Xiyun frowned and hesitated: "Brother Wu, you ......"

Wu Yu's face was desolate, and he poured wine into the bowls of the two people on the table.

"Chishan Castle is just a cursed place......

"No matter what you are trying to do, as long as it doesn't harm Jinyao, even if it's the Wu family, I don't care......"

When Zhang Xiyun heard the word "curse", his expression froze, and he closed the door again, and even presented his handprints to block the movement in the house.

"Brother Wu, don't worry, I just want to understand clearly, and it will definitely not be related to Miss Jinyao. ”

He walked back to the table and sat down, drinking down the bowl of wine on the table.

"Chishan City, built in the Middle Ages, was built by King Zhou You for the princess Bao Xi......"

"The people born in Chishan City have passed down a story from generation to generation, a story that originates from the curse of Chishan City, but the story known by the people is incomplete, and there are many changes, only the curse lasts forever, and only the families of Chishan City know the whole story completely!"

"In the story, it is said that this place is the place where King Zhou You lit the beacon fire for the princess......"

While drinking, he slowly talked to Zhang Xiyun, and unfolded a story belonging to Chishan City in front of Zhang Xiyun's eyes.

"When Chishan Castle was first built, it was originally called the Beacon Tower, and this place was not a city. ”

"Because Chishan City does not know how deep underground, it is said that a flame is buried, the origin of the flame is unknown, only in the story it is mentioned that Emperor Yu had cast Jiuding, and a flame that will never be extinguished was quenched from Jiuding, I don't know why, Emperor Yu called it a beacon fire!"

"And that's the only explanation for where that flame came from......"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiyun was already shocked, and his hands under the table clenched, Jiuding!

The mountain road carvings he had seen in the tomb were engraved with Jiuding, and the "key" to enter the small world of the tomb was more likely to be a fragment of the bronze Jiuding!

Wu Yu didn't notice his abnormality, and was still talking to himself.

"It is rumored that as long as the person who sees the flame, even if it is a mortal, if the beacon fire is not extinguished, the person will not die, just like the elixir of immortality!"

Zhang Xiyun was shocked, but then he thought of the scene he saw that night, if he turned into an existence like a Yin soldier and a dry corpse, should he say that he was immortal or dead?

However, Emperor Yu once said that the beacon fire is ominous, because only the saint in the world can live with heaven and earth, and the beacon fire violates the rules of heaven and earth, and the immortal person has no past life and future life, turning into a slave of the beacon fire, and bearing the wrath of heaven and earth for eternity, life is better than death. ”

"Emperor Yu has two sons, one son is Xia Houqi, that is, he has tried to dictate the eternal times, and the emperor who established Xia Longting, and the other son is named Bao, and was pardoned as the lord of Baocheng, where he is located near Chishan City today. ”

Emperor Yu sealed the ominous fire in Jiuding, and left Jiuding in Baocheng, and instructed future generations not to take it out and suppress it forever. ”

"Until the reign of Emperor Shang, the sect attacked the merchants, and the king of the Shang Dynasty wanted to build an immortal army in order to pacify the world, and began to look for beacon fire in the land of the five continents, but in the end it should not be found, and therefore the Shang Dragon Court perished. ”

"After that, it was until the reign of King Zhou Li, the world was no longer allowed to be holy, King Zhou Li also sent people to find the beacon fire in order to seek immortality, and finally it was really found by King Zhou Li!"

"But at that time, the ominous beacon fire brought a nightmare, all the people who saw the beacon fire, all turned into unconscious living dead, Zhou Li Wang just woke up like a dream, where is this elixir of immortality, it is clearly an ominous source, I am afraid that even the Shang Emperor was not expected, even if he found the beacon fire, it is difficult to build an immortal army, because as Emperor Yu said, after being turned into a living dead by the beacon fire, he became a slave of the beacon fire, not listening to anyone's orders, only surrounding the beacon fire, as if guarding the flame. ”

"The ominous beacon fire has turned all those who see it into its guardians, and the beacon fire will not be extinguished for eternity. ”

Zhang Xiyun was dumbfounded when he heard it, the flame he had seen that night was such an ominous existence.

In the story, King Li saw the beacon fire, but did not see the nine tripods of Yu, and finally knew that it was unknown, but there was nothing to do, fortunately with the help of strange people, the inextinguishable beacon fire was extinguished, suppressed under the old land of Baocheng in the past. ”

Zhang Xiyun was surprised, someone could actually extinguish the beacon fire that even Emperor Yu was helpless?

When Wu Yu said this, he looked at Zhang Xiyun, touched the bowl with him, drank all the wine in the bowl, and said to him: "When I was a child at home, I often heard the elders say that Bao Xi brought disaster to the country and the people, but she was a demon girl, and the sky was born for the death of Zhou Longting, if it weren't for her, King Zhou You would not ignore the opposition of the world's sects, and build a beacon tower for Bao Xi on the old land of Bao Cheng, which made Bao Xi smile, and did not hesitate to ignite the ominous source again, creating today's Chishan City!"

"Because of this, since then, Zhou Longting has gradually broken with the worldly sects, and finally followed in the footsteps of Yin Shang!" (To be continued.) )
