Chapter 220: Sunset City
Sunset City.
With the dissipation of the rare vision of heaven and earth in Liyang Mountain, a hundred miles away, this small city at the southern tip of Dongzu Prefecture has also returned to its former life.
A courtyard in the inn.
Lu Lin, who was standing in front of the apprentice of the fairy wind bone, blew his beard and glared: "You said that you, a little out of the dust realm, you were ashamed to raise your sword to kill the master of the igue realm, do you think you can do it?" ”
Although the old man was derogatory, the smug look between his eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed.
Five days ago, I hurried all the way from the Sword Sect and finally came to Liyang Mountain.
When he reached the top of the mountain, the old man still felt extremely shocked when he thought about it, so much so that five days later, he was still terrified of the battle that his precious apprentice had encountered.
Lu Qian's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Master, why are you ashamed, is he Qiao Jingsheng completely destroyed and ..... by me?" Belch... The one who was beaten by someone's sword didn't even have a chance to reincarnate. ”
The little girl paused, was a little worried, and continued in a low voice: "Hmm.... Master, if I kill the disciple of the sect, will I be expelled from the sect? ”
Lu Lin looked at the apprentice in front of him who lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, and sighed: "This matter is waiting for me to go back to the mountain and tell you in detail, Dao is paranoid, and he vainly uses the Dao Gate Forbidden Technique to devour other people's cultivation realms, what is the difference between acting like this and a Demon Dao monk." ”
Even if he didn't need to explain to his apprentice, he was one of the few peak sword immortals in the Sword Sect, and when he arrived at the top of Liyang Mountain five days ago, he noticed the remnants of the forbidden art in that piece of heaven and earth.
This devouring forbidden technique, which has been banned for thousands of years, would have been destroyed if it weren't for special reasons, but I didn't expect it to let Qiao Jingsheng learn it by mistake.
Thinking of this, the old man's gaze shifted from the apprentice with his eyebrows lowered to the man in green shirt who was wandering with his eyes closed on the other side.
The breath of the man's whole body was extremely unstable, and the dark black power of cause and effect was constantly consuming his origin qi, and because of this, the man's face was also changing from moment to moment, one moment like a young man in his early twenties, and the other time his temples were gray, and he instantly aged to forty or fifty years old.
He was already an old immortal in the Sword Sect's Void Realm, and half of his foot had stepped into the Forgotten Realm, Lu Lin naturally knew some things about the Heavenly Dao's backlash, but unexpectedly, this kind of law of cause and effect, which even the great cultivators of the Forgotten Realm could not avoid, would actually appear in a young man who was at the peak of the Divine Journey Realm.
This kind of situation of being on the line of life and death at all times is that it is impossible to be so calm and calm on anyone, if it is an ordinary person, the Dao heart has already collapsed, and the original qi of the whole body has been swallowed up by the power of cause and effect, and the body has disappeared.
A very complicated sigh came out of the old fairy's mouth.
Hearing this, Lu Qian raised his head, also looked at that side, and said worriedly: "Master, what should I do then?" ”
The old man sighed: "Don't talk about me, even the Sword Sect Leader can't think of a way to unravel the law of cause and effect on this guy, if he forcibly solves it, not only Su Qingming, but also the person who made the move will be entangled in this law, and he will also fall into the long river of years." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qian suddenly couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "Does the master mean that he is not saved, so he is waiting for death?" ”
"Which one said it?" The old man muttered angrily.
Then he said with some regret: "I really don't know what this guy has done in the long river of years, causing such a big cause and effect, you don't have to look at the qi on his body is bland, but if someone touches that black qi, even the divine soul will be crushed and shattered, and he can't be reincarnated." ”
When Lu Qian heard this, tears couldn't help but fall, pulled Lu Lin's sleeve, and cried and said: "I don't care, master, you have to find a way, didn't you say that our Sword Sect is the head of the Holy Land, and all the laws in the world can be broken with one sword." ”
The old man coughed a few times and said helplessly: "Let me think, think about it...."
Lu Qian quieted down at this time.
Su Qingming's expression was indifferent at the moment, he didn't take what the two of them said to heart, even in the face of this causal power that corroded the origin qi and corroded the bones and pierced the heart, Su Qingming's face was so calm.
Because this kind of pain has been experienced many years ago.
Every time you use this hole card, you will inevitably be counterattacked by the Heavenly Dao, the last time you fell into a spatial rift at any time, and this time, it is full of cause and effect.
Su Qingming remembered the sword he lent to Lu Qian that day.
With the swing of a sword that destroyed the world and destroyed the earth, Liyang Mountain was completely broken into two, even if less than one-tenth of the sword intent remained, the Kunlun heir who devoured the realm cultivation of Liyang Ancestor could not escape the end of the soul.
And Lu Qian was even more unconscious because of the exhaustion of spiritual power in his body.
Only the Liyang Ancestor, who was leaning against the boulder, and only the last trace of vitality remained.
The old man was relieved when he died.
Even if you have been to the highest place in this world, you will never be able to break free from heaven and earth and go away.
The road ahead is cut off.
The old man muttered at the end, and then he turned into smoke and dust, and dissipated into heaven and earth.
Later, Lu Qian's master came to Liyang Mountain and brought the two back to Sunset City.
Su Qingming naturally knew that what Old Man Liu said was not wrong, the law of cause and effect is the general rule of the avenue between heaven and earth, life and death, time and space, etc., forcibly shuttling through the long river of time, attracting the sword intent of Zhuo Jianzun in the previous life, and it will inevitably be counterattacked by the way of heaven.
And the cause and effect backlash is the most difficult, and the nine black qi chains wrapped around the body at this moment are the nine causes and effects, and they don't know what kind of cause and effect they are.
It's almost impossible to unravel it.
Su Qingming opened his eyes and smiled at the beautiful woman with a veil in the distance: "Don't embarrass your master, but you, take this opportunity to go back to the mountain with your master, and when you come out of retreat, you may be a master of the Divine Journey Realm." ”
Su Qingming paused for a moment, and then teased: "Next time you hold that fairy sword, you will definitely be able to hit me all over the ground." ”
Although the tone was understated, what Su Qingming said was true, the two sword intents lent to the little girl before, one was the sword of entering the world in this life, and the other was the sword of Zhuo Jianzun's birth three thousand years ago, these two completely different sword intents can be said to be the most powerful sword intent in the entire Great Wilderness Ancient Realm, that is, Sword Immortal City may not have such a powerful sword intent.
As early as many years ago, Su Qingming helped her establish her sword intent and develop her sword heart, as long as she returned to the mountain to retreat for a period of time, she would definitely be able to break the barrier of cultivation and step into the realm of the cave.
When Lu Qian heard this, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, which sounded a bit like a last word, but after practicing in Heavenly Sword Peak for several years, she also knew in her heart the power of cause and effect was powerful.
It's just that she doesn't want to admit it in her heart, and the little girl said stubbornly: "Even if you search all over the Great Wilderness Ancient Realm, I will find a way for you to unravel it." ”
Su Qingming shook his head and glanced at Lu Lin, who waved his sleeves, and Lu Qian fell asleep.
"I don't ask you what you have done over the years, as for the matter of Qiao Boy, I will truthfully report it to the master."
The old man looked at Su Qingming with a complicated expression, shocked by his tenacity, and continued: "I have heard that among the Buddhist sects, the most profound study of the avenue of cause and effect, if there is anyone in the world who can solve the cause and effect in you, it must come from the Buddhist sect." ”
Su Qingming nodded slightly, and said casually, "Thank you for your advice." ”
Seeing this, Old Man Liu lost the temperament to talk, and was about to turn around and leave with his apprentice.
"Wait a minute, senior." Su Qingming interrupted.
Hearing this, the old man turned around and wondered, "What else is going on?" ”
Su Qing meditated for a while and asked seriously: "In the past, at the peak of Tianjian Peak, you once said that you happened to travel to Nanhe City, encountered a rain, the rain stopped, and then I was born, and my predecessors went to Nanhe City, was it a coincidence, or did it happen on purpose?" ”
The old man was silent for a long time, and then said, "I once told you that the Dao I am practicing is a very special kind of Dao, and I can feel the traces of those ethereal Dao in the world. ”
Su Qingming nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Then the old man turned and disappeared.
...
...
Su Qing looked at the distant backs of the two of them, his expression was calm, he naturally understood what Lu Lin meant, and he could feel the traces of the Great Dao in the world, so he naturally felt the sword intent that he had lent to Lu Qian before.
More than twenty years ago, the old man went to Nanhe City not by coincidence, but deliberately, because he sensed that the rain was related to Su Qingming.
It's just that he didn't do anything for some reason, maybe someone else was there, or maybe it was Lu Lin and the Kunlun Holy Land behind him who were laying out.
But no matter which one it is, Su Qingming is unwilling to become a pawn of those people.
Su Qingming glanced down at the black qi lingering in front of him, and muttered, "Buddha Gate...."
About Buddhism.
Whether it was Zhuo Jianzun in the previous life, or in this life, Su Qingming did not have any good feelings for Buddhism in his memory, and even three thousand years ago, the man in the green shirt and sword did a great thing in Xihe Prefecture.
So much so that when the disciples of Buddhism mentioned the name of that person, they were eager to send him to hell and never be able to be reborn.
Wanting the people in the Buddhist sect to take action to resolve the power of cause and effect in his body, Su Qingming did not have the slightest certainty.
Not to mention that the most important thing now is to find Shang Yingluo, I originally thought that the little girl would be in Liyang Mountain, but I didn't expect to find it when I went.
Su Qingming stretched out his hand and put the Demon Emperor Jade Pendant on the table, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and he fell into deep thought.
A cultivator of the Divine Journey Realm, and a disciple of the Dao Sect, there is not much risk in traveling in Dongzu Prefecture strictly speaking, not to mention that the little girl still has a magic weapon.
But she has a more worrying identity, the daughter of the Demon Emperor.
Su Qingming had deliberately left a Origin Dao intent when the little girl first entered the Dao Sect to cover up the demonic aura on her body.
But for Dao Sect cultivators or sword cultivators, it's not perfect.
Dao cultivators have pure Dao hearts and can break some falsehoods, and sword cultivation is extremely sensitive to changes in the aura of heaven and earth, so if the demonic energy on the little girl's body encounters cultivators from these two places, there will inevitably be a danger of exposure.
...
...
Three days later.
Su Qingming came to a hill.
Looking up, under the cascading fire clouds on the horizon, countless majestic and continuous palace houses lie between the line of heaven and earth.
The whole city is dozens of miles long, and the sound of people in the city can be heard from more than ten miles away.
At the very front of the line of sight, a city gate dozens of zhang high had been opened at this time, and countless pedestrians entered and exited from the city gate, including mortals, cultivators, and different identities.
And above the sky, there are many rainbow lights of different colors in and out of the city.
This is a city that can be compared to the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty in Central Continent.
Hanging Feather City.
Su Qingming walked towards the city gate casually with his hands on his back, and the jujube red horse behind him followed very spiritually.
Perhaps because of the upcoming grand banquet in Hanging Feather City, many cultivators came from all directions, and soon the city gate was a little blocked.
Although there were many rainbow lights flying around the city, for those low-level cultivators, they were not qualified to be able to fly freely in the city.
If you want to fly in the city, you need to get the approval of the city lord's mansion, otherwise you will be caught in prison if you are seen by the city patrol guards.
These were all things that Su Qingming had heard some loose cultivators say at the city gate, and he also knew a little about the city lord in his heart.
He is a man of rules.
Su Qingming went straight into the city, looked left and right, and didn't know the direction, trying to attract the Origin Dao Intent, but he didn't sense Shang Yingluo's location.
It seems that the little girl should not be far from the city lord, and all her aura is covered.
Thinking of this, Su Qingming walked towards the tallest building in the city.
Surprisingly, it was not the City Lord's Mansion, but an inn.
Su Qing meditated and walked in.
Finding a separate courtyard at random, Su Qingming asked the shopkeeper who was standing aside, "Do you know where the City Lord's Mansion is?" ”
Xiao Er nodded, grinning and said: "Guest officer, everyone who comes to our Hanging Feather City for the first time will be mistaken, thinking that our inn is in the center of the city, and it is the tallest building in the city, so they think it is the City Lord's Mansion, but in fact, the City Lord's Mansion is not here." ”
Su Qingming's face was expressionless, and he asked calmly, "Where is it?" ”
The shopkeeper pointed to the sky and said proudly, "In the sky." ”
Su Qingming was a little surprised, he didn't think that this Hanging Feather City still had a city within a city, and he hadn't seen a city in the sky outside the city before.
The shopkeeper had a smug look on his face, and was about to fiddle with it, but when he saw that the young man in the green shirt didn't ask anything again, he had to retire stupidly.
Su Qingming poured a cup of tea casually, and became in a daze.
Since it is in the sky, now that there is no cultivation at all, it is impossible to go to the City Lord's Mansion if you want to, but there is another cultivator in Hanging Feather City who is qualified to fly in the sky.
I was stumped for a while.
Su Qingming smiled helplessly, he never thought that one day he would be troubled by not being able to fly with the sword.
"Qu Xuanyi of Bibo Mansion, I have heard the name of Fairy Xiyao for a long time, and I came to visit and hope that the fairy will see it." In the courtyard not far from the house, a clear man's voice came.
When Su Qingming heard this, he smiled and pushed the door out.
