Chapter 003: Destined to Meet
Bai Yuexiang and Bai Mochen, brother and sister, the place they are going to on this trip is naturally Kaiyan City, where they were born.
Although more than 20 years have passed, Bai Mochen still remembers the way home.
This is human instinct, even after a long time, no one will forget the way home.
I just don't know if their home can be safe.
Kaiyan City and Yinhao Mountain, in fact, are not far apart, and they are both located in the northern territory of Wolong Province.
And Wolong Province, in the Guanyun Empire, is famous, the land of sacred mountains.
There are many famous mountains in the province, all of which are different.
There are gorgeous mountains comparable to fairyland, and there are also extremely dangerous cliffs.
Like what
Yinhao Mountain, covered with ice and snow, is connected to the sky and has a breathtaking beauty.
Another example,
Wolong Mountain, because there is a lake on the top of the mountain, is in the shape of Wolong, so it is called Wolong Mountain.
On the shore of Wolong Lake, the reeds are dense and the grass is swinging.
The mountain is full of lush forests and bamboos, green all the year round, a hundred flowers bloom, fragrant at four o'clock, the natural scenery is very beautiful.
According to rumors, making a wish on the top of the mountain, by Wolong Lake, is particularly effective!
Therefore, every day in Wolong Mountain, there are countless tourists, especially young men and women, especially many people.
In order to make a wish, these people traveled thousands of miles, which is really commendable.
Another example,
Hanging Moon Mountain, majestic and steep, magnificent, the mountain is perennially dense fog, poisonous gas overflowing.
If you fall into it, you can easily lose your way and die.
Hanging Moon Mountain is one of the three most dangerous regions in the empire.
Countless people die here every year, but there are still people who are willing to risk their lives.
Because in the Hanging Moon Mountain, there are strange flowers and plants and natural treasures everywhere, and if you can pick one of them, you will have a great creation.
As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food.
In the face of interests, regardless of danger, this has been the case throughout the ages.
Hanging Moon Mountain, located in the southeast of Kaiyan City, together with Yinhao Mountain and Kaiyan City, the location of the three places is in a straight line.
The entire peak, starting halfway up the mountain and reaching the summit, was shrouded in a thick fog.
And in the misty fog, occasionally, wisps of green light are visible to the naked eye.
This turquoise and gloomy light is the poisonous gas in the mountains, and the light emitted by it seems to warn people that this place is dangerous and should not be stayed for a long time.
The danger of Hanging Moon Mountain is well known to the world, and the names of the three dangerous regions are by no means in vain.
Even the people of the poisonous sect did not dare to rashly step into half a step, and the thousand-year-old sect that used poison to subdue people was even discouraged, which shows how dangerous Hanging Moon Mountain is.
Of course, there are still some capable people who can get out of the way, but there are only a handful of such people.
And these people, however, only dare to wander around the mountainside.
The only people who can really reach the top of the mountain and enjoy the scenery are probably only gods and demons.
The scenery from the top of the Hanging Moon Mountain is as famous as its danger.
The top of the mountain is the opposite of the mountainside, there is not a trace of dense fog, it is clear and clear.
Whenever the night sky falls, a bright moon seems to hang on the top of the mountain, shining in the sky, as if within reach.
It's just a pity that the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain is not blessed for the world to enjoy.
However, at this moment, on the top of the mountain, there are two figures, one old and one strong, sitting on a square stone platform.
I saw the old man, dressed in simple gray clothes, with white hair and pale face, and his god-like face, which looked weak.
Look at the young man again, cool black suit, silver-haired and handsome, heroic, and majestic.
The two sit side by side, creating a striking contrast.
It's like the truest portrayal of a person's life.
One is when you are young and the other is when you are old.
Life is like this, there are scenery and desolation.
However, since these two people can appear on the top of Hanging Moon Mountain, they must be very capable.
"I think it's time for you to go down the mountain, and here you can only spend your time here. ”
"I've lived for tens of thousands of years, but I can't awaken your soul, it's really in vain. ”
The white-haired old man looked gloomy and stared at the sky, as if he was talking to himself.
And the young man, looking closely, although his appearance is unharmed, his eyes are dull, and his eyes are a little hollow.
Hearing the old man's voice, the young man just turned his head slightly, looked at the old man, and did not speak, even his expression did not change in the slightest.
The old man was naturally accustomed to it, sighed, and continued to look up.
This white-haired old man has a lot of background, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it by legend.
And those who can exist in legends are not only the descendants of the immortal clan, the ancient demons, but also the Hongmeng Holy Beast.
These three are the existence at the top of the pyramid in this world.
It's just that there were once the top ten Hongmeng holy beasts, but now there are only five left.
At the time of the Ancient Holy War, except for the Ten Great Holy Beasts Swallowing the Sky, the other nine all participated.
It is a pity that the greedy wolf, the pig, the purple tapir, the spine, and the elephant died one after another.
Only the Hidden Spring, the Gluttony, the Evil Dragon, and the Soul Slayer remained, plus the Swallowing Heaven who did not participate in the war.
From then on, these five holy beasts no longer asked about the world, and did not participate in the mundane.
And this old man is the Swallowing Heaven, the most mysterious and the most powerful existence among the Hongmeng Holy Beasts.
"Now, my longevity is approaching, and while I can still move, I will take you back to the mortal world to settle down. ”
"Hopefully, one day, you will restore your soul on your own. ”
Swallow Heaven continued to mumble to himself, full of grief. Even in the air, there is a slight coolness, which is sentimental.
-----
Three days later, Kaiyan City, early autumn noon.
Kaiyan City, the largest city in the north of Wolong Province, is close to two famous mountains, so that the past merchants gather and the market is prosperous.
And here, there are also famous dry tobacco and fine wine.
A prosperous city and half a city smoke, how many people in the world are drunk and immortal.
Those who go to look at the Silver Snow Mountain, and go to the Hanging Moon Mountain to explore the treasure, will come to Kaiyan City and enjoy it to the fullest.
Bai Yuexiang and Bai Mochen, the brother and sister, had already arrived at Kaiyan City on the afternoon of the day they descended the mountain.
Returning home, coupled with the fact that the gods are in a hurry, naturally only needs a few moments of effort.
However, it is a great pity that the home of more than 20 years ago no longer exists.
Today, on the original site, a new inn has been built.
This inn is also very luxurious, with three floors and four storefronts, and the name is also quite creative, called "Kemanlou".
Naturally, the brother and sister did not hesitate, opened two rooms, and lived in them, which could be regarded as going home.
After all, this was once their warm home.
After staying in the mortal world for three days, not only the excitement, but also the novelty.
Bai Yuexiang every day, in addition to eating and sleeping, she pulls her brother to go shopping, eat and drink, and join in the fun.
In just three days, people in the streets and alleys heard that a fairy had come.
Indeed, such a beautiful girl is wandering the streets almost all the time, and it is difficult not to get noticed.
If it weren't for the strong man Bai Mochen beside him, he would probably provoke a lot of disciples.
Of course, even if Bai Mochen is not there, how can these ordinary people beat the idea of a fairy.
At noon in early autumn, the sun is still in the sky, and it will not reduce the momentum of summer because of autumn.
On the contrary, it is even hotter, as if it is in a hurry to make the last struggle before the arrival of late autumn.
Bai Yuexiang and Bai Mochen are in full swing at the moment, however, they are not because of the hot weather.
It's because they are already shy at the moment.
When they went down the mountain, they brought a lot of silver taels, but in just three days, the waves were shining.
Although they also lived in the mortal world, at that time, they were still young.
Later, when they came to Yinhao Mountain to live, they never went down the mountain, and they didn't have to worry about those vegetables, rice, oil and salt.
Now I can go down to the mountains, live well, eat well, and go shopping, without taking into account the concept of money.
It wasn't until the two of them had little left in their pockets that they realized that things were a bit bad.
Money, always, is quick to use and slow to earn. What's more, these brothers and sisters don't know how to make money.
As the saying goes, if you don't understand, just ask. The two of them are also clever, and instead of racking their brains, it is better to inquire around.
So, on the street near the full building, an embarrassing scene was staged.
I saw two, well-dressed strong men and beautiful women, and when I met people, I asked how to make money.
If you are enthusiastic, you can make two moves.
There are also those who think they are neurotic.
Even, some people ridiculed that Bai Yuexiang was his wife of the village, and he didn't worry about spending money at all.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and the two of them chose one among the many opinions, which was more suitable for their errand.
Although this errand is extremely dangerous, it has a high reward.
Since ancient times, risks and benefits have been directly proportional.
The more dangerous the work, the more money you make.
Of course, you have to be able to do it.
What the brothers and sisters chose was something that few people dared to do in this industry, because this was the most dangerous.
However, the brother and sister were not only fearless, but extremely excited.
It turned out that what they chose was mercenaries.
Mercenaries, as the name suggests, are to take people's money and eliminate disasters with people.
This can be to escort materials, act as a personal bodyguard, or complete a task set by the employer.
And the task they chose was: escorting their employers, entering and exiting Hanging Moon Mountain safely, and being paid 10,000 taels of gold.
That's right, it's one of the three dangerous regions, Hanging Moon Mountain.
The reward of 10,000 taels of gold, although extremely tempting, was too dangerous, so no one was willing to take the order, but gave Bai Yuexiang an excellent opportunity.
You can make money and visit dangerous areas, so why not?
