Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 41 The Poor Fall into the Yellow Spring
It turned out that Liuli entrusted Cao Luhua and Xiao Lingwei to master and apprentice in order to find her brother.
But they are dragon sons and dragon girls, how could they not contact each other? Chen Ke couldn't help but be curious and asked about the little dragon girl.
Liuli looked a little sad, she took the golden hairpin off her head, her hair was scattered, and she hugged her knees with both hands: "My mother died early, and she was not the queen of the dragon." The other brothers and sisters all love to bully and tease me, but only the ninth brother heard that he treated me very well. β
Later, Brother Wen was sent away by his father, saying that he was an entourage to the immortals of Tianhe. Speaking of this, Liuli's huge eyes moistened slightly, "But before August, they sent my brother back with a smile." When she came back, she heard that her brother was already dead!" Tears rolled down from her eyes, and then Liuli burst into tears.
Xiao Lingwei and the red panda on the side hurriedly comforted Liuli. Liuli sobbed: "My brother and sister are silent, I told my father to investigate three times, and he also said that I was messing around." β
"On the way to see the Flower Fair, I met the Calyx Heavenly Master, and I heard that she was going to Fengdu Ghost Gate Pass to collect medicine, and the Calyx Heavenly Master was proficient in spell numerology. I begged the Heavenly Master if he could bring my brother's soul back for a while, and I would ask who killed him and help him avenge him. Liuli shed tears, took out a long thorn, and held the weapon tightly.
"Alas. Chen Ke didn't expect that he would ask casually, and he actually asked the sad story of the little dragon girl, and he felt a little guilty.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you. If I can help, I'll get you revenge. Chen Ke assured Liuli, he remembered that the eldest prince also said before he died that there is a three-life stone in the underworld, which can see people's past and future.
Chen Ke, who was a little confused about his sudden crossing and current fate, wanted to go and see it. What's more, there is also a commitment to Liuli and Dashizi.
Everyone comforted Liuli for a while, which made her stop crying.
With the foundation of the battle between the Sword Saint and Qin Yan on the first day, there will be no highlights in the next two days. It was the various snacks of the Sword Pavilion that made Chen Ke and the red panda have a round belly.
Three days later
"It's good that you can go around like this. In a few days, Master and I will also go to Great Xia. After you have been to Fengdu, you can follow the Heavenly Master and their apprentices to Daxia to search, and wait for me in the Immortal Palace on Jiuhua Mountain. "Xiaoyao Xian, who went down the mountain to see him off, heard that Chen Ke wanted to follow Xiao Lingwei and Liuli to Fengdu, and felt that it was not a bad thing.
But Xiaoyao Immortal shook the bamboo pole again, and added with a serious expression: "You remember, when you enter Great Xia, you must follow the Calyx Heavenly Master and them, and remember not to run around." The Great Xia side is not as good as Shuchuan, they go up to the imperial court Juzong, down to the common people of Limin, and they hate monsters very much. β
Chen Ke nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
The convoy turned to the southeast, and Chen Ke originally wanted to go to Izumo Pass to see Zhao Wan. I didn't want to inquire when I passed by, but I learned that Zhao Kuo was promoted to the deputy chief soldier of Jianmen Pass two months ago, and moved to Jianmen with his whole family.
Chen Ke, who didn't want to delay Liuli's trip, had to fly quickly and catch up with the convoy.
"Chen Ke Daoyou, hello. As soon as Chen Ke landed, he saw an extra person in Liuli's carriage.
I had only been away for half a day, but I didn't expect Qin Yan to join the team.
"Hey, good boy, are you going to Fengdu Ghost Gate Chief to see?" Chen Ke entered the carriage and picked up a fruit and munched on it.
Qin Yan smiled and nodded, acquiescing to his statement.

In the palace of the King of Shu, Gongsun Ping was taking dozens of eunuchs to clean up the messy books in the Scripture Pavilion, and Liu Yiyanshuang followed behind her, well-behaved like a kitten.
Bang, Liu Yiyanshuang, who was full of gold and jade, picked up a roll of bamboo slips that had been turned over messily and was covered with dust, and shook the ashes twice. Then it was put back on the shelf.
"Mother, this thief is too disagreeable, and he should post a notice to arrest him. Liu Yiyanshuang suggested to Gongsun Ping. This scripture pavilion has not been visited for a long time, and when it was opened and checked yesterday, it had been turned over by thieves, making a mess.
"No, you can't. Gongsun Ping rejected Liu Yiyanshuang's suggestion, "The secretary and supervisor said that what was lost were some historical records and ancient books, and basic cultivation techniques, which poor monk should have done. Since the gold and silver property are not damaged, why is it difficult for us to be a favor?"
"Shu Xiu is withering, and the Sword Pavilion and the Guan River Estuary are lonely in the world. Now is the time to recruit talent. β
Queen Gongsun saw that Liu Yiyanshuang was rejected by herself, her eyebrows drooped, and she seemed to be a little aggrieved. So his tone softened, and he comforted her: "Don't be so cautious all the time. My son is floating on the waves, you have been married for three months, and now he can stay in your palace night and night, which is also considered a blessing for you. Usually, you can follow me to learn how to govern the country. When I am old, this Shuchuan will still be entrusted to you young people after all. β
"Yes, the daughter-in-law obeys the instructions of the queen mother. Liu Yiyanshuang thanked Gongsun Ping, and worked harder to clean up the classics on the ground with his entourage. Her nails strained and scraped off some of the ashes, but she didn't care.
Chen Ke's side, the wheels are moving forward, and it has been walking for almost a month. In the past few days, the scenery outside the window has become more and more desolate, and the surrounding green hills have become low hills, on which are covered with sick shrubs, and even the sky is full of yellow dust clouds.
"Your Royal Highness, it's here. On this day, the convoy slowly stopped, and the green-robed old turtle came in and asked for peace.
Chen Ke and the others stepped out of the carriage, and the convoy stopped at the end of a bleak path. Chen Ke looked up and saw that the yellow clouds in the sky seemed to be within reach, and they rolled thickly like living creatures, flying towards everyone's front.
"Poor mountains and bad waters. As soon as he got out of the carriage, the red panda complained.
This is also the only adjective that Chen Ke can think of: the plain in front of him is difficult to grow, covered with a thick layer of dust and black ash. On the entire plain, there was only a trace of sound when the mournful wind swept by.
Far away, there is a great river that is extremely wide. The water in the river has become three colors, close to Chen Ke's side, it is a turbid yellow, and the water flows slowly. In the middle of the river, there are white waves surging rapidly. Further back, there was a river as scarlet as blood, and the river of blood was undulating, and Chen Ke vaguely saw countless faces on it.
The great river branched off in the plain and became two. The yellow one slowly cleared up, and it seemed to be an ordinary river again. The red and white river turned a corner, flowing into two tall and mysterious peaks farther away.
Low yellow clouds flew over the river, slowly turning an eerie blood-red color, looming the two peaks.
"That's Lethe and the Mountains of the Two Realms. Xiao Lingwei pointed to the big river and the mountain peak and said, legend has it that after passing the Lethe River, I entered the Ghost Gate Pass under the Mountain of the Two Realms, and there was the Netherworld inside.
And they went to the plains. Chen Ke felt that the closer he got to the river, the less he could lift his spirits.
"The closer you get to the Netherworld, the heavier the dead qi becomes, and it is said that only the Feather Monk has the strength to cross the Lethe River. Xiao Lingwei also held her thigh at the moment and said breathlessly.
Calyx Luhua turned around and waved his hand, signaling everyone not to go any further.
Everyone stood still, and she took out a flag-like magic weapon, which was painted with graphic runes, like a banner for conjuring spirits. Calyx Luhua lowered her head and chanted the incantation for a long time, and the spirit banner glowed with a long fluorescent.
After a long time, Calyx Luhua stopped chanting the incantation, and she said to Liuli, who looked anxious, "Now I can only wait patiently, Your Highness the Princess." I rarely use this soul spell, so I don't know if I can summon the soul of the dragon. And I myself can't stay on the edge of the Lethe River for a long time, and I have to hurry up to collect medicine, so I will not be with you. β
She asked everyone and Ruri to stay under the spirit banner and wait, re-mobilizing her mana and reciting a large number of incantations. A lot of green sigils floated around Calyx Luhua, protecting her in the center.
Chen Ke saw Calyx Luhua relying on the protection of the Fu Seal and walking towards Lethe. The shore on this side of the Lethe River is unexpectedly overgrown with green plants. And on the other side of the river, in a sea of blood and black fog, it seems that it is faintly full of bright red flowers.
"Manju Sawa is also called the other side flower. Xiao Lingwei looked at the sea of flowers on the opposite side and sighed, "There are three ways to forget the river, and the shore is full of flowers on the other side." Flowers bloom and leaves fall, leaves fall and flowers bloom, and the two will never see each other, just like life and death in the world. β
As Calyx Luhua approached the river, her steps began to barely rise, and the Fu Seal also trembled. So she stopped moving forward, holding the jade ruler, as if she was gathering something.
And Chen Ke and they have been waiting here for a long time, and this spirit banner is not amalocant.
Looking at the increasingly lost glass, Chen Ke was a little distressed. He saw Qin Yan standing on a small slope not far away, looking at the Two Realms Mountain.
Chen Ke climbed up the hill and walked to Qin Yan's side.
From here, there is a semicircle where the mountains of the two realms are opposite, as if the mountain has been smashed open from the middle.
"Hey. Chen Ke woke up Qin Yan, who was in a daze.
"What's the matter, Daoyou Chenke. Qin Yan asked Chen Ke politely as usual.
"I know you have more ways than Ling Wei's master, right? Chen Ke raised his eyebrows and whispered proudly. He guessed that Qin Yan must be a disciple or child of an immortal, otherwise how could he be so talented and amazing.
"What's the matter. Unexpectedly, Qin Yan was rarely a little unhappy. He frowned, as if disgusted by the title.
"Well, then I'll be wrong. But you don't want Liuli to be sad, right, you always have a way to conjure this spirit, right?" Chen Ke realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and quickly pointed to Liuli who was crying in the distance.
"Okay. Qin Yan's anger subsided quite quickly, and he also saw Liuli's sad appearance, so he took out a blue-green flute from his arms.
Chen Ke watched Qin Yan gently blow the green flute, and a green gas like a gossamer slowly emerged from it, and first flew around the glass. Then he returned to the flute, and then there was a grumbling flute sound.
However, Xiao Lingwei and Liuli at the bottom of the hill didn't seem to hear the flute.
The sound of the flute spread farther and farther.
"Let's go, let's go back to the car and wait for your master. Liuli waited for a long time, but didn't see the spirit banner react at all, and was extremely disappointed, taking Xiao Lingwei's hand and wanting to return to the dragon carriage.
But at this moment, there was a long dragon roar from the side of Lethe.
"Brother!!" Ruri turned her head sharply, tears welling up in her eyes, and shouted excitedly at Lethe.
Calyx Luhua's conjuring banner suddenly fluoresced and flashed, and there was no wind automatically.
