Chapter 401: The Wider World
Xie Jianyi is very extraordinary, so extraordinary that Lin Fan was surprised, he was dressed in white and did not have a little crowd, and whenever he talked about wine with Lin Fan, he could often make one or two thought-provoking words. He and Lin Fan traveled all over the mountains and rivers while understanding the life of the Great Dao.
And suddenly one day they came to a mountain stream.
Xie Jianyi stopped and suddenly stopped Lin Fan.
"Brother Lin. "Xie Jianyi was born with a good face, his face was like a pearl, his eyebrows were like a sword, his eyes were bright, and his whole person was like a sword out of the dust, which was very extraordinary.
"What's the matter, Brother Xie?" Lin Fan asked suspiciously, he felt that Xie Jianyi must have something special to say when he stopped him. He has been with Xie Jianyi for so many days, and it is the first time he has seen Xie Jianyi speak in this tone.
"I don't know if Brother Lin has ever heard that there is a spring in this world, which is the spring of immortality during the day and the spring of reincarnation at night. If you drink him during the day, you will be young and at the top forever. You only need a drink at night to live another life!" Xie Jianyi said with a faint smile.
"Hmm, is there such a miraculous spring water in this world?" Lin Fan couldn't believe that there was a spring water that could make people immortal after drinking a sip, or live another life. Even he himself has mastered the two incredible powers of space and time.
"I think Brother Lin should also know, I am not actually from this world, I am from another world. Xie Jianyi said.
"Another world, a small world?" Although Lin Fan guessed that Xie Jianyi might not be a person in this world, he didn't feel that Xie Jianyi looked like a person in a small world. Because Xie Jianyi's aura is too unusual, too super dusty, just like a mortal immortal.
"No, it's not the small world you are talking about, Brother Lin, but from a more distant world. Xie Jianyi took off the gourd on his waist and took a sip of wine before he continued, "That world was separated from this world hundreds of thousands of years ago, and I came from that world by chance. In the world I belong to, the true dragon and the flying phoenix are not surprising, and the extreme martial arts are the martial god realm that breaks through the limits of the heavenly dao and reaches immortality. The legend of the sacred spring is what I heard in that world. Xie Jianyi said.
"That being the case, then why did you suddenly mention this to me, Brother Xie?" Lin Fan was a little surprised by Xie Jianyi's origin, after all, it was said that he was from a more ancient world, which really made Lin Fan unbelievable. There was a world bigger than the fantasy world he had ever experienced!
The sky is dusk, and the land is desolate. The wind is miserable, and the rain is misty.
The land of the deserted city, overgrown with weeds, ruins, broken walls, corpses, scenes telling the prosperity of the city back then, and lamenting the ruin of the city today.
In the north of Daqin, there is a mountain, its name is Pishan, and there is a city under the mountain, and its name is Xudu.
In the past, the capital was prosperous, comparable to the capital of the Great Qin, its scenery was magnificent, the people of the city were simple, and because this place was located next to the big river, so the agriculture was prosperous, all kinds of reasons, so that the capital of the city was famous in the Great Qin Dynasty for a while. However, fifty years ago, this fascinating place became a ghost realm that the world talked about overnight.
Some people say that it is a plague without warning, and others say that it is a conspiracy of evil spirits. However, after this place has since become a ghost realm, there is no need to delve into everything in the meantime.
On this day, Xie Jianyi and Liu Yueli traveled here.
Xie Jianyi was carrying the sword box, and Liu Yueli was carrying the paulownia woodqin, since Xie Jianyi took Liu Yueli out of the army of Great Qin, they went all the way north and came to this Xudu.
"Childe, is this the capital here?" Liu Yueli frowned slightly, and there seemed to be worry in her eyes.
"Yes, this place should be all right. I can't imagine that the drunken capital that was very prosperous back then will also fall into what it is today, it is really ruthless in the world. Xie Jianyi untied the gourd around his waist and took a sip of wine.
"Childe, Yueli has heard that this is a ghost domain, is it possible that there are really ghosts and gods in this world?" Liu Yueli also had a question in her heart at this time, whether the theory of the ghost domain is false, or is it a well-founded statement.
I saw Xie Jianyi chuckling silently, staring at the ruined scene in front of him for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "I don't know what the ghosts and gods say. However, this capital city is right in front of you, and if there are ghosts, you can see if there are ghosts. ”
As soon as Liu Yueli heard this, her heart tightened immediately, and her body unconsciously leaned towards Xie Jianyi's side.
"What, Yueli, are you scared?" Xie Jianyi asked with a smile.
Liu Yueli came back to her senses at this time, and she couldn't help but have a hint of shyness on her face; ”
"Hehe, Xie didn't make fun of him. When this person lives, it is inevitable that there will be something lacking, just afraid of ghosts and gods, where is this worth laughing at. Xie Jianyi said lightly.
"Does Childe have anything to be afraid of?" asked Liu Yueli when she heard this.
"Maybe, maybe not, who knows. Xie Jianyi looked at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
The city of Xudu is built on the mountain, and the mountain is located in the middle, towering and erect, and there is a faint fog in the mountain.
It's silent, eerie, in the deserted streets, with the occasional corpse scattered around, and crows croaking on the dead trees.
"It's a pity that this huge capital city would become such a dead city. Xie Jianyi suddenly sighed.
"yes, the river I passed through before has a faint black color for some reason, it's really weird. Liu Yueli also sighed on the side.
Suddenly, a cloud of black qi struck, rushing straight towards Xie Jianyi and Liu Yueli.
"Be careful!" Xie Jianyi grabbed Liu Yueli's shoulder with his left hand, and put the two fingers of his right hand together, and a sword qi pierced into the black qi like an arrow from the string, and the black qi immediately exploded and turned into nothingness in an instant.
"Yueli, are you okay?" Xie Jianyi let go of Liu Yueli and asked softly.
"Childe, Yueli is fine, but what is the black gas?" Liu Yueli forced a smile, but her little face turned pale.
Xie Jianyi frowned after thinking about it, it was the first time he had seen that black gas, but there were some descriptions of this black gas in his memory, and Xie Jianyi was not sure if the black gas was something he had heard of.
"I don't know the origin of this black gas, but the black gas is extremely evil, and if it enters the human body, the person who enters it will definitely die. ”
Just when the two of them were wondering about the origin of the evil aura, a song came.
"The rain falls and the frost falls, and it is cold when the sky is sighed.
The remnant sun is dusk, and the temples are stained with frost.
I thought about it a few times and when I would be able to return home.
How long can you get?
In front of us, the past is far away.
Sijun didn't dare to forget it all day long.
Independent Xiaoxiang, it is difficult to solve the melancholy in my heart.
Only the song is a song, and the words are desolate.
Before leaving, Xu Jun had another ten years.
Send winter clothes, I don't know where to go.
I only wish that the king will return to his hometown with honor, and the concubine will dance the silk clothes again. ”
The lyrics and songs are in my heart, and I cry alone.
"Childe, this song ......" Liu Yueli felt a little hairy in her heart, a desolate and uninhabited land, a land of ghosts, how could there be a woman here to give Sijun a song?
Xie Jianyi frowned, then relieved his brows, and became interested, he took a sip of wine, and said, "I didn't expect this kind of place, there are singers, I don't know if it's a human or a demon, or something else, but it's interesting, Yueli would like to go with me to have a look?"
What can Liu Yueli say?
"Childe is interested, and Yueli should go with it. Liu Yueli replied.
"Hmm. Xie Jianyi nodded.
The two of them headed towards the place where the song was heard.
A stone tablet stands here, and there are two big characters engraved on it.
Xie Jianyi was about to take Liu Yueli to go, when suddenly a hoarse voice came.
"Please stay here for this descendant, the mountain is weird, and the living should not be approached. The speaker appeared, an old man of sixty or seventy years old, with an old body, arms like dead branches, and wisps of death on his body.
"Huh?" Xie Jianyi was shocked, he could see at a glance that the person in front of him was a human and not a demon, but he was full of life, and his life was not long in coming.
"Under Xie Yi, this girl's name is Liu Yue, I don't know who the old man is?" Xie Jianyi arched his hand and asked politely.
The old man grinned, "The old man's name is Zheng Shixun. ”
Xie Jianyi asked again, "I don't know why my husband is here? This capital city is no longer a place where people can live permanently, although my uncle has martial arts, but he ......."
Xie Jianyi did not continue.
"Hehe, the world is big, but there is no place for me to live in the old man. My soul is here, I was born here, and naturally I should die here, but I'm not willing yet, I'm not willing!" Zheng Shixun said, subconsciously clenching his fists.
Xie Jianyi didn't speak, and neither did Liu Yueli, the two of them stood quietly like this, waiting for Zheng Shixun to wake up from his anger and unwillingness.
After a long while, Zheng Shixun came back to his senses, "The old man was a little rude before. ”
"No, I didn't. Xie Jianyi didn't care.
"By the way, Uncle Zheng, what did you mean when you said that the mountain is weird and the living should not be approached?" asked Liu Yueli as she regained her normal color.
Zheng Shixun looked at the mountain shrouded in black gas, and fell into memory.
"This mountain was not like this before. At that time, the mountain was green and green, the clear stream was murmuring, the birds and beasts in the mountain were peaceful, and many people in the city would take their families to the mountain during the spring solstice. However, for some reason, it has become what it is now. ”
When Xie Jianyi heard this, he immediately asked, "How could Old Master Zheng not know about the changes in the mountain?
Zheng Shixun shook his head gloomily, "Don't hide it from the son, the old man went out in the army back then, and when he came back, this was what he looked like, and the old man also wanted to know the reason. ”
Xie Jianyi said again, "Does the old man know who the singer was just now?"
When Zheng Shixun heard this, his face showed a touch of bitterness, "The person who played the song was a famous talented girl in the capital back then-Yue Qingwan. That Yue Qingwansheng has a good face and a compassionate heart, not to mention proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it can also be said that he knows a little about seven or eight. ”
"Huh, old man, since you can't enter the mountain, how do you know that the singer is the woman named Yue Qingwan?" Xie Jianyi asked.
"I will never forget her voice for the rest of my life. Besides......" Zheng Shixun smiled bitterly and did not say any more.
Xie Jianyi and Liu Yueli are also smart people, and when it comes to this, they also know that the reason why Mr. Zheng knows that the singer is a woman named Yue Qingwan is that the king of the woman's song is Zheng Shixun!
Forty years have passed. He and her have never been able to see each other, one inside the mountain, the other outside the mountain. Even though there are times a month when singing can be heard in the mountains, but what happens to the people?
"Forty years, unconsciously forty years have passed, and the old man tried his best to enter the mountain, even if he was killed, he was not afraid, but he was never allowed to enter. Zheng Shixun sighed with emotion and said abruptly.
"My uncle said before, this mountain is weird, I don't know why it's weird?" Xie Jianyi asked.
"Around the mountain, there is a mist, and when you enter, there is an illusion, although it does not kill people, but it is impossible to move forward. But that's for people who have martial arts skills such as Childe and me, before Childe wanted to take this girl into the mountain, but this girl had no martial arts, and I was afraid that I couldn't stand the confusion of the illusion, so I stopped it. Zheng Shixun explained.
"Illusion. After Xie Jianyi heard this, he smiled.
"If the old man doesn't like it, you can go to this mountain with you, and you have your own way to break this illusion. Xie Jianyi said in a loud voice.
Zheng Shixun looked at Xie Jianyi excitedly, and his voice trembled uncontrollably; "Is what Gongzi said true?"
"Naturally, take it seriously. Xie Jianyi smiled and replied.
Zheng Shixun has been guarding Bishan for forty years, infatuated and infatuated, and the woman named Yue Qingwan on Bishan has been endowed with that song of Sijun for decades. The two of them thought hard all day long, but they were blocked by this illusion. Xie Jianyi couldn't help but have the intention of fulfilling the two of them.
Liu Yueli stood beside her side, didn't say a word, but sighed in her heart, why did the sentient people in the world have to suffer such hardships.
The three of them stepped into the mountain.
Zheng Shixun saw the old scene of Xudu, Liu Yueli saw the scene of Gusu City, and Xie Jianyi saw the scene of his aunt Jianyi when he was a child.
Xie Jianyi's heart was like a sword blade, and he shouted: "I have a sword heart, and it is hard to be sharp!
The sound was like a collision of gold and stones, and a brilliant light emanated from the sword box, instantly tearing apart the illusion in front of him!
