Chapter 359: It was the old man who came
Yuansang Mountain.
The insect elder was lying on a wicker chair basking in the sun, and his white eyebrows fell to the ground and curled several times, and his expression was very pleasant.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stared intently at the thatched hut not far away, and the man was already standing in front of a golden light surging barrier.
"Why are you here?" Worm Lao looked through the thick barrier, although he couldn't see who it was, but he already knew who it was, and his tone was full of confusion: "It's not time yet?"
I saw that the man waved his hand, and the thick golden light of the enchantment floated, separating from the middle, revealing the face of the sleeping carp.
"Where have we got?"
The man's voice was heavy, and when he looked up, there was an extremely serious and angular face.
It was Lisheng's uncle, Zhao Hailong.
Zhao Hailong was wearing a black stand-up collar suit, covered with a thin layer of white film, although he was over forty years old, his eyes were bright and bright, his body was slender and strong, and he was clearly a handsome guy.
It's just that the black suit really doesn't match this fairy world at all.
The insect elder narrowed his eyes, glanced at the carp sheng, and exhaled a long breath: "This ...... It seems that there is still some lack of heat. ”
Zhao Hailong frowned: "Lack of fire, you know that my niece will be more dangerous if she stays here for a day, right......?"
After a long pause, Zhao Hailong looked at Lisheng and reached out to hold the warm hands, "Sheng'er, uncle taught you before, right? You must not lose your life for something unnecessary, whether it is friendship or love, you are the most important thing...... Uncle is still waiting for you to come back, I have lost my brother, I can't even ...... you anymore"
"Zhao Gongzi, the old body still owes Haiyun a favor, you can rest assured, the old body will never let Lisheng have an accident. The worm elder hurriedly persuaded: "You also know what your brother Haiyun did in the Eight Wilderness, if this is the fate of the arrangement he made for Lisheng, presumably he must have some arrangement." He's not going to hurt his daughter, is he?"
“......”
Regarding Zhao Haiyun, Zhao Hailong was speechless.
Look at the carp, and then look at the old worm, the complexion is like a frosted eggplant, not cold.
Although he was able to appear here for a short time to have a cup of tea, he still entrusted Zhao Haiyun with what he left him before he disappeared. But the number of times he can use it is limited, he originally thought that he would use it again as a last resort, but Lisheng has disappeared for three years, and thinking of what might have happened to her here, he can't make up his mind, so he can only come and see.
The worm elder conjured up a hand, and just wanted to pat Zhao Hailong's shoulder, but as soon as he saw the white film lingering on his body, he immediately retracted his hand.
That membrane was the key to his ability to travel through the eight desolations of the present world, but he couldn't move it.
"You'd better go back! stay here too long, the carp will feel ......."
"I know. ”
Zhao Hailong reluctantly glanced at Lisheng again, and then closed the enchantment.
Exhaled deeply, his eyes were already red, "My Sheng'er will be handed over to you to take care of, you ......" Zhao Hailong didn't swallow in one breath, stuck in his throat, as if he had eaten a mouthful of bitter melon, extremely bitter: "...... The next time I come, no matter how things go, I'll bring her back to the world. Anyway, this is your eight desolations, and there is no need for my family Sheng'er to make sacrifices for you......"
The white light floated, and a black hole appeared next to it.
Zhao Hailong walked in front of the black hole, reluctantly glanced at Lisheng again, and then disappeared into the black hole.
The worm elder watched the black hole close again, and his already serious face seemed to have lost a trace of blood, pale and helpless.
"Whew...... Even if you say so, it's not as simple as you say. It seems that your brother didn't tell you anything at all......! Alas!"
With a heavy sigh, the worm elder opened the central barrier of Yuansang Island, which had been closed for a long time.
Looking at Lisheng, who was heading towards the depths of Yunze, and seeing that she wanted to say something and followed behind Luo Jue, she shook her head helplessly: "How can people's hearts be so easy to control......
As he spoke, he suddenly felt something, and looked in the direction of the West Sea: "Huh, I haven't seen you for a while, what are those people from the Dragon Clan doing...... Oh, is the old dragon king dead?strange, the old man of the dragon king has always been in good health, how could he ......"
The worm old man thought in pieces, and the person was already standing in front of the rattan chair again.
"The West Sea is very close to here, but it is clear that it is not yet the time for Lisheng to discover this place......" The old face stared at the exit of the central barrier, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, "Strange, strange, how did it become like this......?"
Turning his head and looking at the carp again, his expression sank, and it was even more unsightly.
A sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in the worm elder's heart, very uneasy.
Although I had long expected that this would be against the meaning of the Heavenly Dao, it was not good to be able to violate the harmony so quickly......
"Lisheng...... No matter what, if something really happens, I will definitely stop it. ”
However, with the meaning of the Heavenly Dao, even if the worm old mana is boundless, how can he be able to resist it?
It's just a matter of frustration.
The junction of Canghe country and North Drift Ice.
Although it is cold all year round in the north, the people here have adapted to this kind of weather, even if the snow is fluttering outside, and the ice is thousands of miles, but the figures on the long street of an ancient road are more than enough, and the faces of the vendors who set up stalls and sell are full of joy, and they don't look at this cold at all.
On the long street, the snow is falling, and the creaking sound is incessant.
Xi Di was wearing a white velvet cloak, and there were hundreds of people behind him, following the officials and guards, and were heading towards the city gate.
Today is the winter festival of the North Drift Ice, in order to seek winter blessings for the people.
Xidi was rebuilt and did not escape, so he could only obediently follow the solemn and low sound of the horn, step by step from the royal city to the gate of the northern kingdom, just to reflect the grandeur of the sacrifice.
Because this street has long been cleared by Wangcheng, it is not visible to outsiders. On the thick snow, after the footprints of the stream stacked fell, they were trampled into mud by the civil and military officials behind......
Xi Di saw that there was a city gate dozens of meters high in front of him, and he was finally bored.
Without waiting for the priests behind him to speak, he stepped on the city wall and jumped in front of the white bronze bell that was two people high inside the wall.
"Lord!"
The rebuilding below immediately shouted.
"Your Excellency, what are you doing, this is an important ceremony for the blessings of the people, please follow the rules and ......"
"Ah, I see, don't be verbose. Xi Di glanced at the jade drumsticks placed next to him, and couldn't stand the shouting of the group of people below, so he had to wait for the sacrificial personnel, who were almost old and couldn't even walk, to climb up the stairs on the city wall one by one.
There is no other way to wait for anything more torturous.
Idle, Xi Di casually looked at the rivers and mountains not far away, and this shocking glance unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the Lisheng group that appeared from the teleportation array.
"She'......"
Wait, isn't she in Canghe Country, how can she appear east of the North Drift Ice?
Xi Di thought that he was hallucinating because of boredom, so he hurriedly pinched his fingers into a spell between his eyebrows, and instantly saw it more clearly.
Beyond the city gate is still the border of the North Drift Ice, and there are still several small villages connected to each other, because of the proximity to the national capital, it is also very prosperous.
On our long street, I saw Lisheng following behind Luo Jue, accompanied by the fifth pupil, Inuhuo Qianyu'er, and two children and little ghosts he had never seen, and several people were slowly crossing the long street and heading in the direction of Hefu Mountain.
Xi Di couldn't help frowning, and the boredom of the sacrifice was swept away, staring at those people with such interest that he didn't even notice that the old priest came up.
As soon as the old priest came up, he saw that Xi Di was looking at the distance and was intent, and he was slightly displeased, and then coughed a few times:
"Ahem, Lord, let's get started!"
"Where are they going? It shouldn't be ...... with my father's mountain."
"Master!"
Chongzhu hurriedly shouted, and the voice was surprisingly loud.
Only then was Xi Di called back to his senses, turned his face, looked at the old priest's drooping face with disappointment, and naturally smiled: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and start!"
“...... Be. It was obvious that the corners of the old priest's mouth trembled, but in front of the civil and military officials, he still didn't dare to say anything.
Picking up the jade drumstick that was placed aside, he closed his eyes and recited the words for a while, and when Xi Di was about to fall asleep, he handed the drumstick to him.
"Please strike this bronze bell with this jade mallet, and the bell will be heard throughout the North Drift Ice nine times in a row, bringing blessings and health to the people of the Lord of the Kingdom......
"Good. ”
"Knock~Knock~Knock~~"
The brook's hand raised and fell, and the sound was just right to merge with the magnificent sound of the white copper bell, obviously just a random tap, but it formed a note-like pleasant sound.
As the bronze bell rang, the busy citizens looked in the direction of the city gate, stopped what they were doing, and suddenly folded their hands and began to pray in unison.
The sound of the bell was endless, spreading in all directions, and even the carp sheng who was moving forward in favor of people could hear it clearly.
Seeing the lively people around him suddenly quieted down, looking behind him with a reverent face, and praying sincerely, Lisheng couldn't help but stop.
"What are they doing here?" and it's scary to suddenly become like this.
Yuntu wants to look back: "This is the lord of the country is praying for the people to follow the heavens, and the nine bells that rang just now have the meaning of returning to the circle and reaching Cheng Yi for a long time." This is the custom of the North Drift Ice......"
"So the person who rang the bell just now was Xi Die?"
"No one can ring the brass bell except the lord of the country. It must have been a stream stack just now. "Yuntu knows a lot.
Hearing that it was Xidie, Luo Jue looked slightly sideways at the carp sheng who was staring at the city wall in the distance, and secretly clenched his teeth.
The fifth pupil saw his reaction in the bottom of his eyes, as if deliberately, and leaned over to Lisheng's side: "Little carp, you may not know, but at that time, it was Xidi who took us through the cemetery of the dead, so that we could rush to the Reverse Dragon Tower in time, speaking of which, we still owe him a favor......
"The Creek people are nice, I know. Lisheng said truthfully, not feeling that he had been hit by the fifth pupil.
"Then why don't you go and thank him in person? After all, no one knows when they will have the opportunity to come here, right......"
"Fifth Hitomi, don't encourage her. Luo Jue didn't hold back, hurriedly pulled Lisheng's arm, and continued to walk forward: "Passing through the mountain in front is the entrance to the Ghost Mountain, we don't have so much time to waste on inconsequential things." ”
"Yo, you're crossing the river and demolishing the bridge too fast, aren't you? Thanks to Xidi still helping you, if it were me, I wouldn't care about a heartless person like you!"
When the carp heard this, he was a little displeased.
Although I'm not very familiar with Xidie, I haven't met a few times, and I don't have a friendship or anything.
But since Xi Die is so righteous, and as the fifth pupil said, who knew that Ma Yue would have the opportunity to meet again in the Year of the Monkey, anyway, it would not be bad for a while, and there was nothing wrong with saying thank you in person.
Then he shook off Luo Jue's hand and stood aside with the fifth pupil, "If you don't want to go, then go to the Ghost Mountain with Yuntu and them first, right?" ”
Moreover, how can Xi Di say that he is also the lord of Beiliubing, the current ruler of the four major countries of the Eight Desolations, if he can have a good relationship with him, he will leave Luo Jue one day in the future, and Lisheng will have a hard backer.
She also has her own considerations.
And when Luo Jue heard this, he was naturally not happy.
Why didn't he let Lisheng come into contact with Xidie, she didn't find out about her feelings at all!
And just think about it, this seems to be the purpose of the fifth pupil, and it is not okay to make him angry (jealous).
However, Luo Jue was angry and angry, his feet were on the legs of the carp, he stopped once, stopped twice, and couldn't stop ten thousand times.
Since she wants to join in the fun, let her be!
Raising his chin, he returned to the arrogant and indifferent man, and said to Yuntu: "Let's go." ”
is not muddy at all, and there is no such thing as a carp sheng in his eyes.
What else can Yun Tu say, he glared at the fifth pupil who sowed discord, and said to Lisheng: "If you want to thank me, I won't stop you, but you must know that Beiliubing is not an object that can be provoked casually." If you can't get together and disperse, it's better not to take care of it. I'll go ahead with Luo Jue to lead the way, and you can hurry up and follow in a moment." ”
Lisheng nodded, and Chong Dog Huo and Qianyu'er also made a reassuring gesture, but with the fifth pupil, the white light flashed, and they were put back again.
As soon as the two of them left, Ru Yu laughed out loud as if he was a joke: "People are so big, why are they still so fun? Haha, it's right to follow you! It's so --- interesting!"
The elongated tail sound came into Luo Jue's ears, and the distant figure paused, and he didn't worry about the carp sheng at first glance, but he was very stubborn, and under the blazing gaze of everyone, he shouted to keep up, and really left without looking back.
Inuhuo and Qianyu'er didn't dare to say anything at this time, anyway, this kind of thing was commonplace.
"It's really embarrassing for the lord......" Qian Yu'er was extremely sympathetic to Luo Jue.
However, as soon as the words fell, Inuhui stared at her as if he was looking at a monster, and he almost wanted to see a flower: "I think you are the more difficult one......
“......“
was mentioned by him like this, and Qian Yu'er instantly remembered those things that she didn't want to think about at all.
His cheeks flushed, and he exhaled with a wry smile: "I've seen my sister give marriage to too many people, and this kind of thing should be better known than anyone else." Oh, although I know ......"
