Chapter 518: Separation

That night, when everyone was drunk, naturally no one was on duty, Xiao Cong had a rare heart, but fortunately, the Purple Wing Yunhu was safe enough.

The next day when they woke up, they were full of energy and radiant, and the children of the Win clan consciously cleaned up the mess on the table as soon as they woke up, and washed the wine utensils by the way, the rich and stingy Ouyang Xun did not forget to put away the yellow tablecloth, and the paper silk on the stool was ruthlessly abandoned by him, but our young master Ouyang did not leave them directly on the mud stool, but saved up and burned them together with other bones and other wastes.

After doing the morning class at the top of the tree, Xiao Cong said a simple goodbye to the children of the Winning Clan and Jiayin, the Purple Wing Cloud Bird Patriarch fulfilled last night's promise and sent Xiao Cong and them a Triple Heaven Elder of the Tongtian Realm, as Xiao Cong expected, the crown feather of this Purple Wing Cloud Bird is orange, but I don't know if the crown feather of the Purple Wing Cloud Hu really has three colors in the Tongtian Realm, Xiao Cong saw that there was such a pseudo-immortal escort, if nothing else, he could go directly to the edge of the Great Wilderness, even if something abnormal, with the pseudo-immortal in charge, there would be nothing to do with the Supreme of the Liyang Realm like Jiayin and the four brothers of the Win Clan, so they went back directly。

The five of them strongly asked to send Xiao Cong on their last trip to the Guzhou Plain, but Xiao Cong politely declined, he also knew that Jiayin and they did not want to help him when there was danger, but just to send him the last journey to draw a complete end to this unusual journey, but Xiao Cong felt that this was not necessary at all, and it would be mean to say that it was unnecessary, but Xiao Cong still felt that there was no need to waste their time, there was no feast in the world, and parting would come after all, and it was actually the same at the edge of the Great Wilderness as it was here, or in other words, it was better to separate here than to separate on the edge of the Great Wilderness, because he felt that letting these people see them walk into the wilderness, that picture made him feel quite unpleasant, and the future was uncertain, and the ghost knew if there would be any unexpected situations, and he was afraid that the reality would be like what was written in the story he read when he was a child, which was supposed to be something that everyone could be happy about, but he always suffered a sudden bruise at the last moment and left a permanent regret- Some people who should not have left have deviated, so that those who continue to live will always remember and cannot forgive themselves, he will never allow such a clichΓ© drama to happen to him, yes, this is the best place to part, and it is also the best time.

Xiao Cong didn't ask the Purple Wing Yunhu Patriarch to send a master to escort Jiayin them, because as early as two days ago, he laid a teleportation array for them not far from the Purple Wing Yunhu territory in advance for their return trip, and this teleportation array is theoretically also a magic circle that must be triggered by a master of the formation master, but Xiao Cong's formation attainments are quite level, and he learned from the tricks used by Xiao Tianyu when he set up the formation in the Youlan Valley, and made some tricks on this teleportation array, and taught the method to each of themIt's a pity that on the way from White Lotus Village to Wild Camel Dian, they have been monitored by the seven of them by Song Generals, so there is no teleportation array left, for this reason, Xiao Cong asked Ying Pei before leaving, asking if he could send Jiayin back to White Lotus Village safely for him, Ying Pei agreed very happily, which made Xiao Cong very relieved.

The book says that all partings are as simple as possible, and everything is a very high state in self-talking, which can mix what you want to say with what you should have heard into a feeling, eliminate sadness, dissolve nostalgia, and only be as light as tea, but you can enjoy the aftertaste for a long time.

Xiao Cong and Jiayin's farewell is also simple, after saying what should be said, there is no greeting, not even a blessing left, let alone an agreement, for them in this era, indeed, it is superfluous to say more, and it is better not to say it in vain.

Xiao Cong led the others to climb on the back of the Purple Wing Cloud Bird, and the Purple Wing Cloud Bird flew westward, and they stopped for a long time until they couldn't see it, and finally turned their heads back to the east.

Hey, it's all people who can't help themselves, so be it.

The purple winged cloud hoofs are flying in the high sky, the speed is not slow, but it is definitely not fast, such a speed is tantamount to a turtle for the birds of the Tongtian Realm, and the advance is not along a straight line, between the north and the south, Xiao Cong can't see what is in it, probably there is something in this reckless forest that can make the pseudo-immortals of the Tongtian Realm jealous.

However, this state only lasted for about three hours, and when the sun began to turn west in the afternoon, Elder Purple Wing Yunhu began to accelerate, which was called a galloping wind and lightning, Xiao Cong estimated that the distance flown in the first half of the afternoon was more than the distance flown in the whole morning.

Before the sun set into the sea of clouds in the west, Elder Purple Wing Cloud Bird descended into the rainforest, this area of old trees was already very sparse, and there were many large open spaces among them, Elder Purple Wing Cloud Bird landed on such a clearing, Xiao Cong knew that the time had come, so he took the others and walked down from the back of Purple Wing Cloud Bird.

Elder Purple Winged Cloud Hoof maintained his bird form, bowed his head and said to Xiao Cong:

"Not far further is the forbidden forest that we think of as the aborigines of the ancient Zhou Plain, so we can only send you here, this is a relatively safe place, you can spend the night here with peace of mind, and go forward tomorrow, remember, don't rush tonight, although this is the outer area of the ancient Zhou Plain, the night is not as chaotic as the depths, but there are still other dangers here, stay here honestly tonight, and you can enter the great wilderness after passing through the forbidden forest tomorrow, you must be fast!"

Xiao Cong bowed and said:

"Xie seniors reminded, juniors remembered. ”

Elder Purple Wing Cloud Bird nodded,

"Not only must you remember, but you must do it, otherwise no one will be able to save you if you encounter something here, I will go first, I wish you all a smooth journey and success." ”

Xiao Cong bowed goodbye,

"Seniors walk slowly, be careful all the way. ”

Elder Purple Winged Cloud Hoo turned around, gently vibrated his wings, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Cong looked around at everyone, saw that their faces were a little solemn, and grinned:

"Why are you so gloomy, don't be so careful, it's not a big deal, just do what your predecessors said tonight." ”

The rest of the people looked at each other, and then nodded one after another, and began to take their places, still the same, Yin Nuo was responsible for making tea, Ouyang Xun was responsible for making a fire, Hongxiang was responsible for roasting meat, Zainong and Huo Hao were responsible for cleaning up a clean place and coming out, Younu ......

The ghost girl lost her face, and took off the burden on her back as quickly as possible, the burden was filled with Ouyang Xun's turtle shell, since she entered the territory of the Purple Wing Cloud Bird yesterday, she has never left the ghost girl's body, and the ghost girl has been trembling and carrying it on her body, just kept reminding herself that she must not open it, and she almost forgot that there was such a thing as Li Mu inside, this was not just relaxed, and then she suddenly remembered, so she shouted at Ouyang Xun like a cat who had been stepped on her tail:

"Ouyang Xun, hurry up and open your turtle shell!"

This sound can be regarded as heartbreaking, startling the rest of the people, Ouyang Xun did not dare to slack off, a few feet away from the turtle shell a few strokes, the turtle shell slowly opened, as expected, or the same as last time, did not see the scene, first heard its sound, then smelled its taste, and then saw its person, the child was already crying weakly, the girl was so distressed that her tears were about to come out, and she hurriedly dealt with the filth on the child's body, muttering in her mouth,

"I just said last time I wouldn't forget to take care of you, but this time I forgot again, I've been hungry for so long, you say I'm ......"

Ouyang Xun was not in a hurry to collect firewood and make a fire, he quietly came to the side of the ghost, stood without saying a word, and waited for the right time to offer some courtesy, Xiao Cong, who originally wanted to set up the array, also hurriedly took out the mother lotus from the mustard, extracted the juice and prepared, to be honest, he also felt a little guilty in his heart, the matter was inherited by him personally, even if the ghost girl forgot, but he shouldn't forget, but this is also a helpless thing, even if he remembers, what can he do, feed the child under the nose of the Purple Wing Yunhu Patriarch? Then they probably won't be able to get here. Thinking about it like this, it is really helpless, and now that I think about it in time, it seems that it is not too late, and I can only blame this child for his miserable life.

Xingliuyun just glanced at the ghost, gloating at first, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, with some indescribable things on his face, he just opened his mouth, and after all, he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and continued to be busy with his own affairs, on the contrary, Hongxiang just watched quietly from a distance, forgetting about his own affairs.

After the ghost girl fed the child, Ouyang Xun lit a bonfire, Xiao Cong finished laying out the magic circle, Yin Nuo cooked the tea, only Hongxiang was left, and he was still meticulous next to the bonfire shelf, and there were three clay pots beside him, which were filled with the ghee that Ouyang Xun showed off last night. Spices and dipping sauces, last night because Xiao Cong's side dishes were too delicious, and he drank a lot of wine, so Hongxiang didn't taste the meat steak he roasted, and he wanted to eat a piece this morning, but it turned out that it had already been processed by Zainong and Huo Hao, so tonight he asked Ouyang Xun for materials, wanting to bake something more delicious.

The group hurriedly had dinner, after the absence of Jiayin and the children of the Ying clan, the atmosphere seemed to be much colder, and it rained inexplicably at two o'clock, the rain was not big, but it was very cold, Xiao Cong set up a sheepskin tent, and everyone hid in the tent, but unfortunately the space was small and difficult to accommodate so many people at the same time, fortunately, Ouyang Xun was prepared for daily necessities, and took out a tent to set it up, which allowed Zainong and Yin Nuo to have a place to stay.

Eight people in two tents, exactly a group of four, Xingliuyun, Yin Nuo, Zainong and Huo Hao and Xiao Cong have a relationship with Xiao Cong, so they consciously divided into a tent, Hongxiang followed Xiao Cong, Ouyang Xun didn't want to get close to the ghost girl all the time, fortunately, Xingliuyun didn't think much about this matter in advance, so he gave the silent Ouyang Xun an opportunity, Xingliuyun was of course not happy to see such a situation, so he proposed to let Zainong or Huo Hao go to Xiao Cong's side to change Ouyang Xun, the reason is that there are many masters of the Star Picking Realm in case of emergency.

Xiao Cong didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but Ouyang Xun pulled him into the water with a word.

"I can't go over, I'm going to go into the wilderness tomorrow, I think we have to discuss the next route tonight, this is the most important thing, how to do it in a tent. ”

Ouyang Xun, this kid is a good spirit, he may have come up with such a reason that Xingliuyun couldn't refuse when he took out the tent, Xingliuyun knew that what Ouyang Xun said was reasonable, so he proposed to let Huo Hao exchange with the ghost, but unexpectedly, the girl gave him a big white eye, and Lingling said:

"Xingliuyun, you have a lot to do! I don't change, what's the point of being with you, I still want to hear about Xiao Cong's plan. ”

Xingliuyun's mouth twitched, but he still didn't give up,

"Then I'll exchange with Hongxiang!"

Hongxiang has a resolute attitude,

"If you die of this heart, I won't change it with you. ”

Don't forget to add a sentence when it's over,

"Xingliuyun, you have a lot to do!"

Xiao Cong saw that there was no need to fight for this matter, so he pursed his lips and smiled:

"Okay, Boss Star, let's arrange it like this, can't you believe me?"

"But ......" Xingliuyun still didn't give up, Xiao Cong just looked at him helplessly, so he asked him to hold back the second half of the sentence, no way, it's expedient.

Everyone got into their own tents, on the surface, the tent that Ouyang Xun took out was much better than Xiao Cong's, originally looking at the meaning of Yin Nuo and the brothers of the Hades Wu clan, they wanted Xiao Cong and them to come to this good tent, but Xiao Cong took a step ahead, and before Zainong could speak, he turned his head and got into the sheepskin tent, Yin Nuo chuckled a few times and patted Zainong on the shoulder,

"It's okay, it's all the same. ”

The two of them got into Ouyang Xun's tent one after the other.

Ouyang Xun was the last to get into the sheepskin tent, and as soon as he sat down, he saw the curtain suddenly opened, and a figure flashed in from it.

Xingliuyun glanced around the tent, and his troubled gaze stopped on Ouyang Xun's face for a moment, as if he wanted to see something different from Ouyang Xun's face, Ouyang Xun's eyes did not dodge or dodge, so he quietly confronted Xingliuyun until Xiao Cong spoke,

"What are you doing?"

Xingliuyun turned his gaze to Xiao Cong's face, raised his sword eyebrows lightly, and said:

"There's not even a light over there, do you have anything else here that can illuminate?"

Ouyang Xun laughed,

"How is it possible, that tent is warm in winter and cool in summer, water and fire are invasive and soundproof, there is a fist-sized night pearl on the top of your head, didn't you bring your eyes when you went in?"

Xiao Cong's ears were quick, and he smiled before Xingliuyun and Ouyang Xun argued:

"You still have such a good thing, why didn't I see you take it out when I was in the Phantom Snow Forest?"

Ouyang Xun snorted,

"Thinking that I, Ouyang Xun, such a smart person, how can I not see that you were building a house on the surface, but you were actually arranging a formation, and I will take this out again, isn't it superfluous?"

Xiao Cong smiled and said casually:

"Well, such a smart person can lead the wrong way, and this road is indeed quite difficult to walk. ”

One sentence made Ouyang Xun ashamed.

Xiao Cong raised his face to look at Xingliuyun and said with a little surprise:

"What, what's the matter?"

Xingliuyun smiled,

"You see I'm going to have to bring something back with me, don't you? The four of us are pretty bored over there, or you can get me some bars, it's a pity not to have two of them in this weather." ”

When Hongxiang heard this, he sneered:

"Hey, I thought you were going to beg for a lamp to see Sister Younu, but I didn't expect it to be to beg for wine! Brother, don't give it to him, we still have a good way to catch up tomorrow, and it's easy to make mistakes when drinking." ”

"Boy, ...... you" Xingliuyun was vicious, and just wanted to say something cruel, but in a blink of an eye, he changed his expression in a blink of an eye, and he said like a bad brother next door: "Hehe, is the kid also hungry for alcohol? It doesn't matter, although we have limited space over there, but I can change it with you, how about it, change it or not?"

Xingliuyun raised his eyebrows, and looked at Hongxiang with a cold face,

"Xingliuyun, you're too sassy, how many sins did the ancestors of the Xing family have to do in exchange for such a corrupt thing as you, I'm really ...... Alas, I really don't know what to say. ”

Xiao Cong felt that Hongxiang's words tasted a little wrong, so he hurriedly took out a jar of good wine from Mi Mustard and threw it to Xingliuyun, seeing that the wine was coming, Xingliuyun was of course busy, Xiao Cong smiled:

"Drink slowly, that's all there is to it tonight. ”

The sudden surprise squeezed out all the thoughts just now, Xingliuyun took the wine jar in his hand, pouted and said:

"It's a little little, but it's about the same. ”

Xiao Cong's little face darkened, and he stretched out his hand and said:

"Give me back this altar, and I will give you more altars. ”

Xingliuyun smiled slyly,

"Joke! What is in my Xingliuyun's hand is still the reason to return it? It's not enough for me to come and talk to you again, you talk, I'll go first!"

Before the words fell, without waiting for Xiao Cong to speak, he flashed out in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Cong smiled in his nose, shook his head and said helplessly:

"This star boss ......"

Xingliuyun left, the episode ended, and the sheepskin tent returned to its original rhythm, Ouyang Xun took out the part of the map he had drawn before about the Great Wilderness and spread it out on the ground, directly squeezing the four people in the tent to the four corners.

Ouyang Xun is a serious way:

"Let's take it one step at a time, starting with this diagram. ”

As he spoke, he pointed and drew on the map with Fang Tian's halberd, and then said:

"We should go out from here, about a thousand miles away from the location marked on the map, you see, where should we make up for this thousand miles from here?"

Xiao Cong touched his nose and asked:

"When is there a route on the map, is it you or my master?"

"Of course it's your master's mark," Ouyang Xunding replied, "There is no sign before entering the Great Wilderness, and the route starts from the edge of the Great Wilderness." ”

Xiao Cong smacked his lips,

"How do you judge where to go out?"

Ouyang Xun smiled,

"Since the beginning of the dead wood forest, I have been mentally recording the changes in our orientation, until we reached the territory of the Purple Wing Cloud Bird, I compared the distance between this and the dead wood forest, and obtained the approximate direction of the Purple Wing Cloud Bird territory, and the rest of the distance was carried by the Purple Wing Cloud Bird Elder to bring us over, the direction judgment is much simpler, although the exit location I pointed out is not particularly accurate, but it must not be too far off. ”

Xiao Cong was still scrubbing the bridge of his nose, and suddenly smiled,

"Yes, Ouyang Xun, I didn't expect this layer, you were prepared, it's not ordinary. ”

Ouyang Xun scratched his head embarrassedly,

"Well, it's actually nothing ......"

Xiao Cong looked clear,

"It's okay, I understand, this is what you've always been used to, I remember the last time I was in the Orchid Valley, if it weren't for the marks you made along the way, we wouldn't have been able to get out. ”

Ouyang Xun smiled even more shyly, but unexpectedly, Xiao Cong's words changed and he popped out,

"Don't you have to make up the Phantom Snow Forest this time. ”

Ouyang Xun hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this,

"No, no, believe me, this time it's definitely not wrong!"

Xiao Cong succeeded in ridiculing and smiled,

"Don't be so nervous, I'm kidding you. ”

He pursed his lips and looked at the map for a moment, and his tone returned to normal,

"Then in your opinion, where is it better to make up for this thousand miles?"

Ouyang thought about it and sighed lightly,

"Anyway, we can't make up for it from the Forbidden Forest, Elder Purple Wing Yunhu said that we must pass as soon as possible, I don't think he is just talking, so in the Forbidden Forest we must walk in a straight line, and the edge of the Great Wilderness doesn't know what the situation is, since the Heavenly Dao Weng predecessor specially marked the starting location, then we still try to do what he said, and the rest can only be a thousand miles south sideways around here." ”

Xiao Cong listened and nodded slowly,

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but we don't know anything about the situation around here, so it's best to come up with a safe way in advance. ”

Ouyang Xun rubbed his right hand on his forehead a few times, and said:

"The Purple Wing Cloud Bird Patriarch said that this place is relatively safe for us, and also emphasized that we should not run around at night, the implication of this sentence should be that this neighborhood is dangerous for us at night, as for the daytime...... He must have concluded that we would go straight ahead, and if it was safe to go straight ahead, he would have told us a long time ago, so ......."

He put down his hand and said resolutely:

"Just don't do it, let's gamble, tomorrow morning with this as the **, go directly south for a thousand miles, and then continue to the west into the forbidden forest!"

Xiao Cong's face was gloomy, his eyes were downward, his right index finger and thumb were gently twisted, and after a while, he raised his head and said:

"Okay, then do as you say, make more preparations tomorrow morning, especially sister, feed Li Mu a little more, tomorrow I don't know how long I will be delayed on the road." ”

The ghost girl nodded fiercely,

"If you have any mysterious artifacts that can keep you fresh, you can borrow them from me first, and store the juice of the mother lotus there, anyway, Zainong is carrying me, and I can feed him on the way. ”

"Zai Nong ......" Xiao Cong's eyes lit up, "Yes, anyway, it's a desperate move, just let Huo Hao fly us over, for him, a thousand miles is less than half an hour's effort." ”

Ouyang Xun said solemnly:

"Isn't that a bit too risky? ”

Xiao Cong waved his hand lightly disapprovingly,

"Don't go into the tiger's den to get the tiger, besides, I'm not just gambling, I saw it when I first came here during the day, most of the people who live here are mortal trees, even if there are psychics, the cultivation is not very high, my spiritual sense, you should always be trustworthy, let's talk about it seriously, even if there is anything weird about this area, it doesn't necessarily have to be bumped into by us, even if we bump into it, it doesn't necessarily mean that we can help us, half an hour, we only need half an hour. ”

Ouyang Xun saw that Xiao Cong's eyes were fiery and resolute, so he didn't say more, Xiao Cong suddenly asked at this time:

"How much do you know about the Great Wilderness?"

Ouyang Xun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled,

"The Great Wilderness has always been a very mysterious place, even the collection of books in the Turtle Mansion, there are very few records of this, but all along, the most common feeling of the Great Wilderness to the Xuanzhen monks is barbarism, you have been to the Valley of Forgotten Lives, and have fully seen the darkness of human nature, but I want to tell you, compared to the Great Wilderness, the Valley of Forgotten Lives may really be nothing, how can I tell you about this......"

Ouyang Xun scratched his ears and cheeks, and said in a tangled way:

"Let me tell you this, the Great Wilderness follows completely different rules from the Xuanzhen World as we know it, and some things that seem incomprehensible to us may seem to them to be normal, because some of them seem to be different from us......

Xiao Cong suddenly became interested when he heard this,

"What's the difference?"

Ouyang Xun frowned, and after organizing his language for a long time, he said:

"I don't know exactly what it is, but they may seem very strange to us, it's a very ...... Anyway, even for monks, it's a very fantastical world, heck, you'll know it when the time comes. ”

"Why aren't these things in the ancient Zhou Plain to the east?" Xiao Cong asked.

"Legend has it that those things are inherently opposed to ordinary creatures, not because they don't want to cross the Guzhou Plain into the world we know, but they can't, because they were driven into the Great Wilderness many years ago, and the Great Wilderness is their prison. ”

"Isn't our trip more auspicious?" asked the maiden hurriedly.

Ouyang Xun nodded,

"Theoretically, this is true, but Xiao Cong's master will not harm Xiao Cong, since he said so, there must be a way to find the old Qilin and return safely, besides, as far as I know, in the long years, there have been many masters who have entered the Great Wilderness, but they have not all returned without exception, but this does not mean that they have all been killed. ”

Xiao Cong smiled,

"This can not be said too early, but it is really impossible to say, maybe finding the old unicorn is not the ultimate goal of our trip, for us, the secret of the great wilderness is the most important, just like we deal with the fishy mink, the bell must also tie the bell, as long as we find the key, we can win a glimmer of life, the most rare thing in life is the experience, we should have a positive attitude, to face these challenges. ”

Hongxiang was infected again, full of ambition and bullfighting,

"Yes, as I said last time, as long as we do our best, there is nothing we can't do!"
