Because he had to rush to Tulou to join the two sisters, Zhuge Chen and Zeng Zhenzhen chose to separate.

On the occasion of parting, although the two young people who had not been friends for a long time were very reluctant to each other, they both said that the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water, but if they were far away and did not see each other often, how could they not think of it? Fortunately, neither of them was hypocritical, and although they were separated today, it did not mean that they could not see each other in the future. In any case, after leaving Jiangshui City, Zhuge Chen was going to return to the world, at least for a long time, they couldn't just sit together and talk and drink like last night. Some sadness is inevitable, but it is like the ripples on the surface of the lake blown by the spring breeze. When the wind stops for ten minutes, everything will fall silent again.

Zeng Zhenzhen set foot on the road out of the city, he was no longer ready to stay in the city, after traveling for such a long time, he also missed his master. Although it is a pity that I couldn't bring back an apprentice daughter-in-law, it was worth the trip to get acquainted with Zhuge Chen. Before leaving, he turned around and said to Zhuge Chen: "I hope you can return to heaven as soon as possible, brother, and when the time comes, let's drink and laugh together." ”

Zhuge Chen replied with a smile: "It should be so." ”

There is no tirade like a literati, and even Zeng Zhenzhen is much more silent than before at this moment. The two were turned away and drifted away. One has just left Jiangshui City, and the other has already reached the periphery of Tulou.

Zhuge Chen looked up and was a little amazed at the good intentions of his predecessors when they built this river city. On the walls of the tulou, lifelike birds and beasts are carved, and the eaves at the top are like dragons and phoenixes flying. It's as if you look at it, and you're in the middle of a time that has been submerged in time. Zhuge Chen stretched out his hand and slowly touched it, only to find that there were still wisps of residual sword qi on the relief on the wall, which was enough to see how well-intentioned the sword cultivator was when he carved these. I am afraid that it took a lifetime of hard work to have such a magnificent building. This made him wonder what a blessing the clothes Chen put in it.

Although he needs to overcome several difficult obstacles, he is still not as subtle as this, could it be that the clothes are the most precious blessings in Jiangshui City? But even so, Zhuge Chen was not moved, on the one hand, he had promised the two sisters to help them take the fortune, and on the other hand, he was really not interested in clothes. As a sword cultivator, if you are so timid as to put a body protection armor on your body, it will be a big joke. If Li Jingyun found out, he would not be able to scold himself for being bloody? Although he and that Great Sword Immortal have always been neither big nor small, but in the face of great rights and wrongs, Zhuge Chen still did not dare to make a mistake. If you sneer at the sky, your realm is the highest, so you should listen to you in everything. As a result, he was beaten and didn't want to get out of bed for three days.

With the flow of people, Zhuge Chen walked towards the tulou. The people around him were in groups, each talking about the tulou.

Originally, the name of the tulou was Chaofeng Tower, and if you look closely at the roof, you can naturally see that the phoenix is higher than the dragon. It seems that the predecessors in the city loved the phoenix more than the real dragon, otherwise it would have created such a situation that people would inevitably think about. In fact, in the ancient books, there is no grudge between the dragon and the phoenix, which are all extremely rare divine beasts, and they don't even have anything to do with each other. They have always lived in their own little world, and occasionally they will not see each other when they come out of it. As for why Xiao Jiao Xiaohuang, who is still in Zhuge Chen's big sleeves, is so disagreeable, according to Bai Yi's guess, it is very likely that Xiao Jiao's bloodline is not pure. Xiaohuang, who is already extremely noble, doesn't like to be on an equal footing with a hybrid dragon, so he has so much hostility.

Every fifteenth full moon night, the tulou will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the practitioners in it will be able to see another side of the tulou. Some say that it is full of weirdness and horror, and you can see corpses all over the field, and a blood-red river flowing in the clouds. Very few people were able to walk out of the tulou alive on such a night, and most of them died here. Some people even boldly speculate that the so-called corpses all over the field are the corpses of those practitioners who died in it, and as for the river in the blood-colored river, it is the blood of the practitioners. There is also a theory that the scene seen is a hundred days of fairy flying immortals, some playing the music that lingers, and some dancing gracefully that he will never forget. In holiness, not only is there no danger, but everyone will receive a very good fortune. However, there is one thing that these two statements have in common, that is, no one has ever seen the garment that will really attract practitioners, and many people even wonder if it is fake.

But the two sisters were very sure and told Zhuge Chen a secret, that dress was made of the last phoenix in the sky with its most precious real name Feng Yu, and left it to future generations, and then died and disappeared. When he heard these words, Zhuge Chen only thought in his heart that if that phoenix could be called the last, what was the little phoenix in his big sleeve? It's just that this is his own secret, and he won't tell others.

Finally walked into the tulou, it was lively and noisy. Zhuge Chen went around according to the sword qi left for the two Qin Se sisters before, and finally found the two women after walking up the stairs.

Qin'er saw him and said, "How is it, is things going well?"

Zhuge Chen nodded and said, "Although it wasn't smooth, the fortune in the green mountains finally fell into my hands. Then I'm waiting for the full moon night to come and help you take away the garment. ”

Bai Yi stretched out his hand to take the wild vegetables that the two sisters got out of nowhere, walked into the kitchen and said, "You two better hurry up and go somewhere else, if you let you cook nonsense, the three of us will wait for hunger at night." ”

Ser smiled and nodded, and walked back into the house. Qin'er still stayed by Zhuge Chen's side, and said: "A few days ago, I heard that a young man in white took away the time flying sword in the green mountains, and I guessed that it was you at that time, and I was quite happy." Where is the flying sword, show me. ”

Zhuge Chen was washing wild vegetables in his hands, but the flying sword swept out of his big sleeve and hovered in front of Qin'er. The woman stretched out her hand and grabbed it, constantly throwing it into the sky and grabbing it when it fell, if it weren't for Zhuge Chen's stay on the side and always pulling it with her own qi, she almost cut the qin several times.

"I saw your fiancé Liu Bai. Zhuge Chen said suddenly.

Qin'er was stunned and didn't know how to respond. Now the biggest headache for her is this problem, she also knows that the other party followed her to Jiangshui City, but she has not shown up, and seems to be watching her in the dark. But Qin'er hates this feeling of being watched no matter what she does, even if she really can't go against her family's wishes and become a husband and wife with Liu Bai in the future, the other party's life will not be all she has. If this must be the case, Qin'er would have died right now. It also saves the time when you live to suffer sin, and embarrass yourself.

She asked in as calm a tone as she could, "Did he do anything?"

Zhuge Chen didn't know that because of his words, Qin'er's mood has also undergone subtle changes, it seems that there is no wave, but in fact, in Qin'er's heart, it is still different from usual. The more calm you pretend, the easier it is to see through it. Even if Qin'er pretended to exaggerate and shouted at this time, it was much more natural than at the moment.

"In the restaurant, he had to come to me for trouble, and I couldn't help it, so I beat him up hard. He admitted that he was at a loss, so I didn't continue to embarrass him, and the shopkeeper carried him away. Zhuge Chen said flatly, as if this was something he often did, as simple as eating and drinking.

Qin'er sneered, and after a long time, she asked a little shyly, "Zhuge Chen, why are you so good to me?"

Zhuge Chen was stunned on the spot, and he couldn't figure out Qin'er's thoughts. Where I treated her well, I should have never shown this everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that the two sisters knew his identity by chance, Zhuge Chen would have slipped away a long time ago, and he would have to wade through the muddy waters of Tulou like now. He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't seek an explanation, and finally had to say: "It's okay, I'm just warm-hearted, and I'm good to everyone." ”

"yes, then I really thank you. Qin'er said softly, giving Zhuge Chen a feeling of breaking into laughter, but why did she listen to her tone, it seemed to turn from joy to sadness, and even a little disappointed?

Zhuge Chen, who didn't have the time to think carefully, replied: "Thank you, they are all friends." ”

He poured the wild vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them so loudly that he couldn't hear Qin'er's next sentence. When he turned his head again, there was no one around him, and he shook his head lightly and said, "Why bother?"

......

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhuge Chen, who had fried a few dishes of vegetables, finally steamed the rice, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, walked to the room of the two sisters, and asked them to come out to eat quickly, and then sat on the chair and ate first. Maybe it was because he hadn't done it for a few days, and the means were unfamiliar, Zhuge Chen always felt that the taste was a little lighter. Maybe it's because the wild vegetables aren't fresh, or maybe the salt is really too low. Fortunately, they have been with Zhuge Chen for a long time, and the two sisters are also used to his fried dishes, which are better than their own cooking.

It's just that the atmosphere at the table today is cold, and several people don't say anything. After the meal, Zhuge Chen went to wash the dishes as usual, and waited until the moon rose before he walked out of the kitchen. Leaning against the railing and looking down, he heard footsteps behind him and looked back, where the two sisters stood unaware of what they were saying. He raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky, where the stars and moon were not visible, and they were all hidden in the darkness. It was out of place, it was raining lightly in Jiangshui City at this time, and Zhuge Chen was full of thoughts. Thinking about whether Zeng Zhenzhen has gone outside the city now, and what the situation should be in the world now.

Because the great array in the city not only suppressed the realm of cultivators, but also made them unable to perceive the passage of time, Zhuge Chen did not have an accurate answer as to how long it had been since he had been here. What he was most worried about was whether the God King Body would do anything out of the ordinary if it occupied his body. As long as it is not too much, as the ancestor of Dayan's worship, and a Zhendao cultivator who has a temper with him, he will definitely come forward to protect him. No matter how bad it is, there is still the head of the Wang family, and he will never watch him in danger. If you think about it again, it will be Wang Daxue, but the Wang family is already in a high position in Dayan, and he can't worry about it. It was still a distant thing until he returned to Kuhai Academy, and he would actually want to be amiable and old. By the time he walked in through the mountain gate, it should have been the beginning of the battle of disciples between the four academies, right?

Zhuge Chen thought endlessly.

As he was in his trance, the dark clouds in the sky slowly parted, revealing a full moon like a white jade disk. The moonlight shone on Zhuge Chen's face, he squinted his eyes and looked up, where he shone, even the raindrops had changed, no longer crystal clear, but glowing with a strange blood red.

He left from around the railing, hid under the eaves, and said to the two sisters, "It's coming." ”

In the tulou, earth-shaking changes have also taken place. In the clearing, piles of bones gradually emerged, and the raindrops did not fall, but converged into a large river, and the sound of rushing through was so noisy that people couldn't help but want to plug their ears. Someone was curious about the change in this place, and the ghost sent his finger to the bones, and as a result, he was wrapped in it, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a corpse with no flesh left. The rest of the people avoided it one after another, for fear that they would also fall into such a fate. And as the yin wind whistled by, more people could not withstand the erosion, and they also turned into white bones, which made people shudder. Only by hiding in the earthen building can you get away with it, but if you go on like this, it is not a way after all. A group of cultivators who had never encountered such a strange scene were in a mess, those who were not determined to be determined cried out, and those who were calm frowned and thought about how to break the situation.

And Zhuge Chen even vaguely heard the repeated whispers in the yin wind: "Become one of us, you can ignore birth, old age, sickness and death, and live in the world forever." What you need to sell is your own flesh and blood. Think about it another way, how can these not be things outside the body?"

Some people could not resist the temptation, so they threw off their companions and walked straight into the yin wind. In the process of turning into bones, you can see the smile on his face, which can even be described as intoxicated.

Zhuge Chen frowned, looked at the two sisters and said, "This is wrong! Since you are so sure that the clothes must be hidden in the tulou, don't you have a little understanding of this situation?"

The two sisters shook their heads bitterly, although they knew some of the inside story, and knew all kinds of weirdness on the night of the full moon, but none of the situations would be like today. The two of them told Zhuge Chen everything they knew, and Bai Yi clenched his fists and said coldly: "Prepare for the worst, it seems that a strange outbreak has occurred." ”

......

At the same time, the middle-aged men sitting here are also rushing towards this place. Because this place is equivalent to his small world, in a breath, he stood outside the tulou. The middle-aged man who didn't know the situation in the tulou was a little anxious, but he also bothered to contact the saints in the surrounding cities, and got the worst answer. They erupted here as if they had been agreed in advance, without even giving the saints a chance to notice.

Fortunately, several saints were leaving for this place, otherwise the middle-aged man alone would really be alone.

Several times, he tried to break into the earthen building, but in the end he was in vain. Just like the two sisters said, this is the place where the phoenix died, but they didn't know that the root cause of such a divine beast's hatred was actually weird. The two sides fought for their lives, and Phoenix, at its own expense, asked the immortals in the city to build a earth tower and suppressed it at the cost of his own life. For example, there are five earthen buildings in the river city, which are in each city.

A cloud of black smoke condensed into a figure in front of the middle-aged man, and it said with a strange smile: "Sage, don't waste your efforts, I have mastered most of the tulou for so many years, and the efforts of those people plus the power of the phoenix are not something you can break alone, so give up!"

The saint didn't take action directly, but asked sharply, "What do you want to do? Kill the cultivators in the tulou and turn them into one of you? For this reason, I don't even hesitate to expose it and be known by the people in the heavens, I shouldn't be it!"

"As a saint, it was easy to guess that our purpose was not here. The figure replied, "It's true that turning some waste into one of us is just an insult to us, and according to common sense, we won't get out of it for at least a thousand years, at least we have to be secretive." After all, it is not advantageous to be seen by a saint with his own eyes. However, for the sake of one person in the tulou, these costs are not worth mentioning. If we can make him one of us, there will undoubtedly be another emperor for us, and he is the most powerful emperor from ancient times to the present. When the time comes, conquering the entire heavens and heavens is just waiting for the emperor to grow up!"

The figure's voice trembled a little, probably because of excitement. Since the fall of the last emperor, they have had to lie dormant and spend their days in total darkness. Days like this, not only it, but any of the weird ones have had enough. Now that you have stumbled upon the dawn, how can you not block it?

"Who is that man?" the middle-aged man then asked.

Who knew that the figure would dissipate here, leaving only one sentence: "I can't tell the saint about you." ”
