Chapter 42: A Sword in a Continent

In the early morning of the next day, before the sun came out, Xu Huaigu got up early in the morning and went out of the village to Lingjiang.

It was too early for him to go out, and even the villagers in Qingling had not even started to work in the fields. There was no one on the road, only a few early birds skimming over his head, and the dew on the weeds on the side of the road wet his shoes.

Lingjiang is not far from the village, and it only took half a cup of tea for Xu Huaigu to see the silver-white river.

The starting point of all stories is in this river. Ink Dragon, Demon Clan, Monk, Bloodline, Seal...... It can be said that the source of everything Xu Huaigu has experienced over the years is in this river, if there is no this river, he will not be able to get out of Qingling, let alone what happened after that.

But I came to this riverside today, not for that, but because Xu Huaigu wanted to blow the wind.

He slowly approached and walked onto the beach. The river beach is still the same as when he was a child, full of large and small, colorful stones, but Xu Huaigu glanced at it, but he didn't see anything he particularly liked.

Maybe it's because the vision is different from the past, and I can't find those rare stones anymore. Xu Huaigu found a stone slab by the river, sat down on it, and looked at the other side of the river.

When the seal had not yet been lifted, no matter how good the weather was, the other side of the river could never be seen, and only the vast white fog could be seen.

But now it is different, the river seems to have become an ordinary mountain river, the banks are only half a mile wide, and the river is not deep, so clear that it seems that anyone with good water can swim to the other side.

The scenery on the other side of the river is very similar to this side, all of which are cascading rolling hills, overgrown with tall trees of various colors, lush and green, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

It's just that Xu Huaigu can see that in the distance of the mountains over there, there seems to be an extremely high peak, standing out among the mountains, at least twice as tall as the surrounding mountains, like a tall tower in the flat land, which is conspicuous.

But the mountain is too far away, even if you carefully hold your breath and look at it with Xu Huaigu's realm, you can only see it vaguely, and you can't see the details.

Lingjiang was blown by a slightly cold wind on his cheeks, extremely cool, Xu Huaigu closed his eyes intoxicated, feeling the wind of this long-lost hometown.

The wind whistled in his ears, and he was so fascinated that he didn't hear the footsteps when someone came up to him, but fortunately the intention was not bad.

It was a woman in white, with a dignified temperament, but she was dressed very plainly, and she didn't have a single piece of jewelry on her body.

A waist-length hair is simply draped behind his shoulders, his eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and his face hides a spring breeze. Seeing that Xu Huaigu didn't react, she wasn't annoyed, she just smiled shallowly and sat down next to him next to Xu Huaigu.

Xu Huaigu was still immersed in his own world, but he felt that a person was suddenly sitting next to him, and he was naturally startled.

When he opened his eyes and looked carefully, he couldn't help but be stupid. Isn't the person who came to him the old man he was thinking about? Xu Huaigu's heart was full of emotion in an instant, and a thousand words came to his heart, but he didn't know which one to say first.

After a while, he said in a daze: "Sister Bai." Bai Xiaoyu's tone was a little aggrieved, and said: "You still remember me, and you knew how to write me a letter before you came, otherwise I would have thought you were dead." Xu Huaigu paused, sighed and said, "That escape from death was really thrilling. Even I thought I was going to die, so I left a will. As a result, I didn't die, but it caused many people to feel sad for me, it's really ......" Bai Xiaoyu frowned, stretched out his index finger and put it on his lips, and said, "Don't continue." Xu Huaigu swallowed what he was about to say and looked straight into Bai Xiaoyu's eyes.

Her eyes were light green with prismatic pupils, still as beautiful as they had been when they first met. But Xu Huaigu wasn't sure if he was wrong, he seemed to catch a glimpse of some strange changes in her eyes, as if her light green eyes were covered by a hazy white veil.

This is very similar to her master's black eyes, except that the black pupils are black, and Bai Xiaoyu's is white, and the color is far less dark than hers.

A trace of panic flashed in Bai Xiaoyu's eyes, and she hurriedly turned her eyes to the other side of the Ling River, looking at the highest mountain in the distance.

Xu Huaigu had a bad premonition in his heart, and he was just about to ask, but Bai Xiaoyu pointed to the particularly eye-catching mountain and said, "Do you know what that mountain is called?" Xu Huaigu was interrupted, and he didn't want to ask again, so he shook his head and replied: "I also just came to Lingjiang, and the first time I saw that mountain, I don't know what it is." ”

"That mountain is called Qiyue Mountain, which is the highest mountain in East Fuyao Continent and the highest mountain in Fuyao Continent in ancient times. Since Fuyao Continent was divided into two continents, East and West, the south of East Fuyao Continent was occupied by foreign demon clans, and that mountain became the entrenchment of the big demons, and even Molong lived in that mountain. Xu Huaigu looked at Qi Yueshan thoughtfully and nodded.

He suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Sister Bai, I heard that in ancient times, Fuyao Continent was not divided into things, why did it separate later?" And the East Fuyao Continent where we are located is obviously located in the westernmost part of the Central Domain, why do we have to add an east word in front of it? Bai Xiaoyu's eyebrows were raised, and he said with some surprise: "Don't you even know this?" Haven't heard anyone talk about it outside? Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "I've heard some of them when I've traveled around, but they're all too broken, and I never understood what the whole thing happened." Bai Xiaoyu suddenly said: "I see, then I'll tell you." ”

It is said that in this ancient period, there was only the saying Fuyao Continent, and it was not divided into two continents. But in the battle with the demon clan back then, the battle was too fierce, especially between the big demon and the great monk. At that time, there was a peak Great Sword Immortal of the Twelve Realms in the Central Domain, who was also the ancestor of the Yang family's sword lineage, called Yang Yi. In the battle with Molong, he used his lifelong sword intent to swing a sword, intending to never suffer in the future. It's just that the ink dragon is cunning by nature, and he used a trick to make that sword fall into the void. So this sword fell on the land of Fuyao Island, from north to south, all the way to the mountains like mud. When it meets the mountain, it is opened, and when it encounters water, it is broken, and a sword splits the Fuyao Continent into the east and west continents, so the sea water pours in, and the land on both sides is isolated from each other, and the Fuyao Continent has been separated since then. And that great sword immortal Yang Yi also consumed too much sword intent because of this sword, and the natal flying sword was broken by the ink dragon in that battle, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he never had a chance to soar again, and it didn't take long for the soldier to pass away. ”

"Therefore, the east character in front of Fuyao Continent does not represent his position in the Central Domain, but refers to the eastern half of Fuyao Continent, which is distinguished from West Fuyao Continent." Xu Huaigu was fascinated by what he heard, and he only thought about how powerful that sword should be, and it could directly split one continent into two continents.

Just a sword, can it really be so powerful? Will you be able to slash that sword one day?

Seeing Xu Huaigu's obsessive appearance, Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile: "This is all a legend of the Central Domain, and there are inevitably some artificial processing ingredients, but the power of that sword is indeed extremely great. Later generations also gave that sword a name, which was called 'Fenzhou One Sword'. If you are interested, you may wish to go to some bookstores in the fairy bazaar, which usually have books related to this matter for sale. Reading the book, Xu Huaigu asked again: "Then what if Mo Long is hit by that sword?" Isn't it going to die? Bai Xiaoyu frowned and said, "It's hard to say." After all, nothing has happened, and no one can speculate. I can only tell you that the strength of that ink dragon is really terrifyingly strong, and in the end, it was only by relying on the three great cultivators of the Twelve Realms that they worked together to suppress it in Qingling. Yang Yi's sword alone may not be enough. Xu Huaigu gasped.

If a sword capable of splitting a continent in half could not slash the dragon, he could not think of anything else that could kill it.

What's more, now that the human race is in decline, not to mention the three great cultivators of the Twelve Realms, there is not even one, and the hope of suppressing the ink dragon again is probably very small.

The situation in this world is far from optimistic. Bai Xiaoyu saw Xu Huaigu's brows furrowed, knowing what he was thinking, so he persuaded: "But don't worry too much, although the war is very unfavorable to the Terran side, it is not without a chance to win." Take a step back and say, even if the Terrans are defeated, I will definitely protect you. When the war is over, it is not impossible for you to find a clean place to live in peace. Xu Huaigu was still a little lost, he didn't want Bai Xiaoyu's protection, he wanted to survive with his own strength.

Bai Xiaoyu put the palm of his hand on the back of his hand and gently grasped it. Xu Huaigu was startled, raised his head to look at her, Bai Xiaoyu looked him in the eyes, and said firmly: "No matter what happens to this world, you and Li Zi and I will keep it." I joined the Demon Sect back then, if not for anything else, just for this. Xu Huaigu had mixed feelings in his heart, both moved and sour.

Bai Xiaoyu said lonely: "It's just that Li Zi has some misunderstandings about me, she thinks that I joined the Demon Sect, which is betraying her." Xu Huaigu hurriedly asked, "Li Zi is also in Qingling?" Have you met? ”

"Yes, Li Zi has been in Qingling for a long time, and she lives in the house opposite the grocery store. It's just that our meeting was not pleasant, and she hated the demon clan so much that she couldn't listen to me. Xu Huaigu, if you have the opportunity, I hope you can persuade her, I am afraid that she will risk her life to fight against the demon clan. Xu Huaigu frowned and nodded heavily.

Bai Xiaoyu said again: "I can't stay in Qingling for too long, Master also ordered an important matter for me to do. However, Jiang Chengcuo will not go with me, and he will stay in Qingling until I come back to him after that incident. During this time, you help me take care of him, he is anxious, don't let him cause trouble. Xu Huaigu asked worriedly, "Are you in danger?" Bai Xiaoyu smiled: "No, it's just to talk to others about something, where is the danger?" Besides, even if I had, I would have a way to save my life. It's really not good, Master can still save me. Xu Huaigu was relieved and said, "Okay, then remember to come back early after you finish your errands." Bai Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, and said, "But that matter is not urgent, the time has not yet come, and today I can sit by the river for a day." Xu Huaigu frowned and smiled.

When I saw Sister Bai, I reminisced with her about the old love. What does it matter what the general trend of the world, the righteousness and interests of the nation? There is wine today, drunk today, and sorrow tomorrow comes.
