Chapter 358: Finale (3)
Gu Baiying went to many places.
Sometimes it is a water town with small bridges and flowing water, sometimes it is a mountain village with smoke and smoke, sometimes it is a town with smoke and rain, and sometimes it is a peak with mountains and mountains.
He has traveled a lot and seen a lot of people. The land of Duzhou, the peach willows are bright, and the brocade flowers are clustered.
He ended up in Blackstone.
In front of Black Rock City, the Styx River was surging, and he threw the elixirs he had prepared in advance into the river one by one. In a short time, in the depths of the waves, a huge arowana swam over and stopped on the shore, like a dark ship waiting for the traveler to return.
After the ruins of the Golden Gate, the last star returned to its place, and the black arowana carried everyone back to Duzhou. For some time afterward, Gu Baiying tried to return to the ruins of the Golden Gate again to find the whereabouts of the hairpin, but the black arowana no longer carried people to the whirlpool at the bottom of the river.
Maybe it's not that the Arowana is unwilling, but when the key to open the ruins of the Golden Gate disappears, the place where the heavenly realm and the human world are connected is sealed again, and no trace can be found.
The black Arowana recognized him and flicked its tail slightly, and the fishtail made a huge splash of the black river waves. He threw a handful of pills into the river and waited quietly for the Arowana to swallow it one by one.
Hairpin once said that there is a custom on their side, making a wish to a carp, and you can make your wishes come true. Although this big fish seemed to be really difficult to get along with the "carp", he still quietly watched the black arowana for a long time, and made a wish in his heart that seemed impossible to achieve.
He wants to...... I can see her again.
The black dragon fish carried Gu Baiying to Black Rock City, and Xiaoshuang greeted him. The blue-shirted young man was still as gentle as before, and smiled at Gu Baiying: "The real person wrote to inform His Highness that Gu Xianchang would come soon, and His Highness ordered his subordinates to prepare a couch to settle down, but I didn't expect to wait for a few more months." He said with a smile as he led Gu Baiying inside, "It seems that Gu Xian has been to a lot of places these days. β
Blackstone is bustling more than it was a few years ago.
After the demon's spiritual veins recovered, the demonic energy gradually filled. And because of the ruins of Kinmen back then, in the final analysis, it was the hairpin star that saved the world. Even if the immortal cultivation world no longer has face, it will not dare to fall into the reputation of unloading the mill and killing donkeys. Over the years, the two races of humans and demons have been quite peaceful. Although it is not as close as a family, but occasionally meet in Duzhou, the two parties can also say hello reservedly and say hello lightly.
Occasionally, at the sect conference, the disguised demons were mixed in, and the people in the immortal cultivation world turned a blind eye when they found out. And in Black Rock City, sometimes there are curious monks who don't know where to get the magic pill and run in with the black dragon fish, and visit around, but Jiang only asks the vendors to silently collect some more magic beads from them, as if they don't know.
The caves are still as bells and whistles as before, this exaggerated wind gradually blew to the sect, I heard that in the current Yinfeng Sect, the clothes of the disciples are also colorful, I don't know if it was the inspiration that Nie Xinghong got from the last time he came to Black Rock City.
Xiao Shuang stopped in front of the Chaos Hall and said softly, "Your Highness is waiting for Immortal Gu in the hall, please." β
Gu Baiying walked in.
The Temple of Chaos is no different from a few years ago.
The dazzling demon statue at the door was still colorful, and in the pool of the temple, a few bare bones were faintly shining.
However, the original hundreds of ghost fires in the temple have been removed. After the hairpin left, there was almost no one living in the Chaos Temple, and there was an empty hall for many years, so many candles, I was afraid that it would not end well if the temple was burned, so I let the lamp blowing ghost extinguish these bright lights.
No, Jiang was facing Gu Baiying with his back and looking out the window.
In front of the window in the outer courtyard, a thick cable hangs.
This rope was left by the original cable general, and when Hairpin lived here in the past, most of the time, this rope was grabbed by Yami and used to swing. The hairpin woke up in the middle of the night and was often startled by the flickering shadow. After the hairpin is gone, Yami also disappears, and only this rope remains, swaying when the wind blows.
The seven favorite concubines in the palace were all dismissed. When they left, they were very sad, and Xiaoshuang comforted them for a long time, promising that if one day the hairpin star returned, they could return to the temple to serve.
Only the red crisp remained in the Chaos Temple.
Bu Jiang also asked Red Crisp if he wanted to return to Yuecheng, but was rejected by Red Crisp. Seeing that she was persistent, Bu Jiang simply left her in Black Rock City to clean up the affairs of the palace.
Hearing the footsteps, Bu Jiang didn't turn around, but said, "You're here." β
Gu Baiying walked to her side.
The face of the demon queen is as beautiful as ever, the embroidery on the robe is intricate and gorgeous, but the eyebrows and eyes are much calmer than before. She looked at Gu Baiying and smiled slightly: "This hall knows that sooner or later, you will come to Black Rock City again." β
She asked, "Do you want to see her?" β
Gu Baiying raised his eyes suddenly.
Bypassing the outer courtyard of the Chaos Temple, and walking along the corridor in the hall to the end, there is a slightly smaller temple.
Bu Jiang stood still at the door and looked into the depths of the hall: "Let's go." β
Gu Baiying followed her into the hall.
The temple was empty, there was nothing in it, it was empty, as if no one had come in for a long time. The moment the door was opened, there were fine smoke and dust flying in the air, glowing with a faint obsolescence.
"Look." No, Jiang looked at the temple wall.
On the four sides of the long wall, there are paintings hanging one after another.
The portrait is huge, hanging from the height of the temple to the foot of the temple. There were people up there, people of all shapes and faces.
There are big men with blue faces and fangs, old men with crane hair and goosebumps, kind eyes, fat men with big bellies and red faces, and well-dressed young men with indifferent expressions......
These people have different postures and expressions, standing in the portraits, vividly, looking at the people in the temple.
The last portrait is of a young woman.
The young woman was dressed in a verdant dress, the corners of the skirt were embroidered with silver four god patterns, her eyes were bright, and her smile was like a flower.
Bu Jiang's voice sounded in the temple.
"Here are portraits of the previous demon kings of Black Rock City."
"There have been ten demon kings in Black Rock City, and I thought she would be the eleventh." After a pause, she added, "But I still put her portrait here." She does it better than them, huh? β
Gu Baiying stared at the person in the painting.
Among the portraits, she is the only one who smiles the brightest.
"The Demon King doesn't like to laugh, including Hairpin Star's father, she is the first Demon King to laugh so happily. Hanging in this temple, sometimes I walk here and see her smile, and I feel much better. β
Gu Baiying said: "She likes to laugh." β
Hairpin Xing is always smiling, whether it is in Gufeng Mountain or in Black Rock City, even if it is the chess piece that finally becomes the chess piece on the Heavenly Dao chessboard, and rushes to the end of doomed dissolution, he is all smiling.
Bu Jiang said: "So I think she shouldn't regret making that decision in the first place." β
She turned around and looked at Gu Baiying: "Shaoyang told me, you are not allowed to place the statue of the hairpin star in the sect, do you think she will come back one day?" β
Gu Baiying calmly looked at the person in the painting, and after a while, he said, "I said I would wait." β
"What a lover." Bu Jiang sighed, "When I was young, I always didn't like these things that I wanted to die or live for love, and I also felt that life should not be naΓ―ve in the world. Heaven is ruthless, and some things can't be forced after all. β
"However, Xu is old, and recently I feel that everything is not absolute. Since the hairpin star was able to reverse the destiny of heaven back then, many things have not come to an end, and no one can say the end. β
She looked at Gu Baiying with a smile: "Life is very long, maybe there will be a second miracle." β
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
