Chapter 111 Love Three Thousand Years Ago
Da Zhong whispered: "Ah Ying, if you have nothing to do to show your courtesy, you are either a traitor or a thief. This old guy is in the same group as the sad old man who fed you Meng Po soup, and when we were in the Second God City, we also saw him and the sad old man. The old man hangs out together..."
Xu Ying smiled, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "Don't scare the snake, let's see what he wants to do first."
Da Zhong understood and quickly ordered Gong Qi, who also woke up and did not expose the old man in white.
Xu Ying bowed to the old man in white and said politely: "This is the second time I see the old man. I haven't even had time to ask him his name."
The old man in white clothes smiled and said: "My surname is Bei Chen. People who know me call me Beichenzi."
He looked at Zhu Chanchan, his index finger moved greatly, and he was surprised and thought: "This girl smells so good. How did she cultivate herself into such a delicious look? It's really rare!"
Xu Ying humbly asked for advice: "Does the old gentleman know the origin of this imperial hill?"
Beichenzi stabilized his mind, swayed his white beard, and said with a smile: "I have also heard about Diqiu. It is said that this place is the tomb of the ancient Emperor Zhuanxu. The city of Diqiu is where the tomb-keepers live. Over time, the stone city was built. As for why the Emperor Qiu disappeared, I don't know."
They quickly arrived at the other end of the stone city. Just now, the stone city was spit out from the mist outside the city. When Xu Ying came outside the city, he saw an abyss beneath his feet. He was walking too fast and almost fell down.
Everyone stopped and looked across, but saw that the fog had blocked the other side of the abyss, making it difficult to see what was there.
Suddenly, there were dull roars coming from the abyss. Xu Ying vaguely saw something emerging from the abyss, waving countless thick tentacles, trying to crawl out!
Even if he activated his heavenly eye, he couldn't see clearly.
At this moment, the crisp sound of whips came, and a long whip flew out of the mist, hitting the giant creature in the abyss with a snap.
The whip was very slender when it was swung out, but after it was swung out, it expanded, became thicker and longer, like a dragon or a python, its muscles were tangled, and it was drawn into the abyss, and it was unknown how long it was!
The behemoth in the abyss was beaten by this whip and roared like thunder, which was astonishingly dull. Suddenly a thick tentacle flipped over, and a majestic mountain was released from the abyss and landed on the other side!
This scene was so shocking that even Zhu Chanchan was shocked.
Xu Ying was shocked. The scene of mountains and rivers flying out of the abyss was scary, but what shocked him even more was the whip!
He recognized this kind of whip. He once had one, and it was the whip that the girl Qingqi in the coffin gave him to whip the God of Plague!
These two whips are almost the same!
Xu Ying asked: "Chanchan, can you see things in the abyss?"
Zhuchanchan said: "You can see it with your heavenly eyes. It's just that I have never seen the ghosts in the abyss. It's really weird."
Xu Ying looked at Bei Chenzi and asked, "Does the old gentleman know what is in the abyss?"
Beichenzi was also surprised, and he looked down and said, "I don't know. In the years when I was born, there was already such a thing. Back then, we called those who held whips the abyss watchers. They lived in seclusion in the mist of the abyss. If If there are monsters from the abyss crawling out, they will pull those monsters back."
He paused and said: "Back then, many people planned to enter the abyss to explore, but when they jumped into it, they became dizzy and could never come back. The abyss is extremely scary."
Xu Ying looked to the other side, but the fog had not dissipated. The fog was very strange. Even the eyes of heaven could not see through it. He did not know what the person holding the whip looked like.
The Abyss Watcher was still whipping into the abyss, causing the abyss to roar continuously.
After a while, the things in the abyss shrank back, and the whip also shrank back into the clouds and disappeared.
Xu Ying was confused. The girl Qingqiu in the coffin also had the same whip. Does it mean that she was the same kind as the Abyss Watcher? Or is it the whip she snatched from the Abyss Watcher?
"This stone city should also be released from the abyss."
Xu Ying suddenly thought of the Cangwu Abyss and thought to himself, "Cangwu Abyss and this abyss, can't they be the same abyss? What are the origins of those abyss monitors?"
In the evening, Xu Ying and Zhu Chanchan teamed up to wash and peel off the Beast King God. Zhu Chanchan said, "I'll go find a pot!"
"No need!" The big bell flew up, getting bigger and bigger, with its mouth pointing upwards.
Xu Ying filled the bell with water, put the King of Beasts into the bell, then walked into the belly of the seven clams, took out salt and various condiments, and sprinkled them into the bell.
An Qi spit out a piece of heavenly fire and put it under the bell to heat the pot.
Zhuchanchan and Beichenzi were stunned. As for the big clock, I have long been accustomed to it.
Beside the sky fire, Xu Ying flipped through the two pages of gold paper Yuan Weiyang gave him, quietly waiting for the meat to be cooked. The content on the gold paper is the location of the dragon hunt in Huang Ting's secret treasure, and the beginning of the Yuan family's untransmitted secret Yuan Dao.
For him, he does not need to obtain the complete skills of the Yuandao heavens, he only needs to obtain the methods that operate in the cave.
"I wonder if Taiyi Daoyin Gong can mobilize the three secret treasures of Niwan, Jianggong and Huangting at the same time?"
Xu Ying held his breath and concentrated, using the Dragon Searching Technique to search for the location of Huang Ting. The heavens of Yuandao said in their induction that Huang Ting's secret is hidden in the spleen, which is the chamber of the soul and the source of consciousness.
He opened the Huang Ting Secret Treasures and saw that the secret cave was shaped like a tile cauldron, with a dark and yellow atmosphere. Suddenly, his consciousness increased greatly, and he vaguely saw a golden hall carried in the black and yellow aura, which was extremely eye-catching!
Just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw a surge of black and yellow energy, blocking his field of vision and preventing him from seeing clearly.
"There is also a shore in Huang Ting's secret treasure! It seems that the six secrets of the human body probably really correspond to the six shores, and that is the door to immortality!" Xu Ying thought to himself.
He had an agreement with Yuan Weiyang to see who could refine the elixir from the other side of Huangting first, so he did not rush to practice Yuandao Heavenly Sensation, but concentrated on thinking, looking for flaws in this technique, and trying to make up for it.
It's just that the opening chapter of "Yuan Dao Heavenly Sensation" is extremely obscure and difficult to understand, and Xu Ying was unable to find out where the flaw was hidden for a while.
The smell of meat gradually came from the clock. Anhui Qi and Zhu Chanchan were so greedy that their index fingers moved. Xu Ying was also awakened by the smell of meat. He tasted it and said, "You can eat it."
One person and one snake cheered, picked up the meat and ate it.
Zhuchanchan stuffed her mouth until it was full and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious. I haven't eaten in more than six thousand years!"
Hearing this, Beichenzi was surprised and confused: "More than six thousand years? Is she older than me?"
Xu Ying invited Beichenzi to dinner, but Beichenzi was not polite and sat down to eat. The Beast King God has made himself extremely delicious, especially where the skin is connected to the meat. It is not greasy at all. One bite will make your lips and teeth full of fragrance, and you are indescribably satisfied.
They were all Qi Refiners, so if they ate freely, the meat of the Beast King God would quickly turn into vitality in their stomachs, which was extremely nourishing. And with the behemoth Gong Qi, the entire Beast King God would be eaten up quickly by them.
Xu Ying's strength has not recovered during the battle in the city of God. After dinner, his strength has returned to its peak.
Everyone was looking for a place to stay in the city. There was a palace in the city called Shensi Palace, which was quite spacious. There were beds and quilts inside. Anchi Qitan slept between several pillars. Xu Ying chose to sleep on the bed, and Zhu Chanchan slept on the bed. Another room.
Beichenzi also found a room to stay, but he sat at the table, laid out the chess game, and never slept.
There was moonlight outside the window, shining on the old man in white. Beichenzi's face was gloomy and uncertain. Suddenly he looked out the window on a whim and saw someone opening an altar to practice Buddhism on a hill outside Shicheng. The candlelight went straight into the sky.
The man had great magic power, and the caves behind him were spinning, looking extremely gorgeous in the moonlit night.
On the top of the mountain, there are about a hundred or so Nuo masters, large and small, who are also blooming in the cave and raising their cultivation to the extreme!
Under the altar, there were hundreds of gods standing, each with a strong scent of incense and powerful magic. They bowed to the altar and worshiped. In the center of the altar is a bow with seven arrows.
"The Nailhead Seven Arrows Book?"
Bei Chenzi was shocked, the chess piece in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and he whispered, "These Nuo masters are amazing, they can actually find such a strange skill!"
The Book of Seven Arrows on the Nail Head is a spell used by ancient Qi alchemists, specifically designed to harm people's souls. It was lost in Beichenzi's time.
Unexpectedly, today, when the Qi Refiners are extinct, these Nuo masters can actually find this kind of magic and restore it!
"It seems that he is a Nuo master from the royal family of Shendu. The Li family of the royal family dug up the graves of many Qi practitioners, right? Otherwise, how could it be possible to restore such a vicious technique?"
Beichenzi activated his heavenly eyes and saw clearly the people on the hill outside the city. He thought to himself, "It should be a master sent by the emperor to take Xu Ying's life with the nail-head Seven Arrows Book!"
He couldn't help but get excited. He had heard for a long time about the vicious reputation of the Seven Arrows Book of Nails. Such fierce ancient spells could even kill gods!
"If the Nuo master of the royal family Li can really kill this scourge, then I will be free!"
Bei Chenzi couldn't help the joy in his heart. He wished he could dance around the room and sing a song, "If you shoot him to death, do you need any demon-suppressing runes?"
After the Nuo masters and the gods finished practicing, the Nuo master with the highest level of cultivation respectfully took off his long bow, put the arrow feathers on the bowstring, and bent the bow with all his strength!
Other Nuo masters and the gods made sacrifices one after another, muttering words, and streams of incense wrapped around the arrow feathers.
The Li family made a loud cry, bent their bows, and fired. The arrow feathers turned into a streak of light and went straight to Xu Ying's room!
The great Nuo of the Li family bent his bow continuously and shot out seven arrow feathers. When the first stream of light shot into Xu Ying's body, the other six arrow lights also came to Xu Ying's room, leaving no room for him to escape!
Bei Chenzi was so excited that his hands and feet were trembling, and he murmured in a trembling voice: "It is said that the Seven Arrows book kills people invisible. The opponent will not feel anything when he is hit by the arrow, and his soul will be shot to death. These seven arrows will kill him one by one. The seven arrows are the seven souls, I want him to die as hard as he can!"
Just when he thought of this, he saw that after shooting seven arrows, the Li family Nuo on the hill opposite suddenly shook his body, spurted blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground on his back.
Beichenzi saw clearly with his heavenly eyes that Da Nuo's soul suddenly exploded for some unknown reason and died unexpectedly!
Beichenzi was dumbfounded when he saw a group of Nuo masters and gods on the opposite hill in confusion. They hurriedly picked up the body of Da Nuo, packed it up and left in a hurry.
"Even the Seven Arrows Book of Nail Heads can't kill him..."
Bei Chenzi was unwilling to give up, and looked into Xu Ying's room with his celestial eyes. He saw the soul in Xu Ying's room, shining brightly, wrapped in the immortal light of the immortal true spirit.
Come to think of it, the nail-head Seven Arrows book was shot at the immortal spiritual light, and was bounced back. Instead, it shot the great Nuo of the Li family to death.
"That's all, let's wait for the demon-suppressing rune." Beichenzi sighed.
At midnight, the suddenly empty Diqiu Stone City was crowded with pedestrians everywhere, bustling and coming and going.
The waiter at the bun shop opened the steamer and deliberately fanned the white mist into the street to lure diners. In the wine shop, a few drunken guests were fighting. In the teahouse, idle guests were drinking tea and smiling at the beautiful girl on the road.
There are also sellers carrying straw poles, surrounded by children, clamoring to buy a windmill.
Xu Ying opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the fragrant breeze blowing in. A woman opened the bead curtain and came to the bed. She took off her clothes and lay down on the bed. She said with a smile: "I'm sleepy, let's rest for a while..." Who are you?"
The woman screamed, stood up hurriedly, hugged her clothes to her chest, and looked at Xu Ying in horror.
Xu Ying said quickly: "Girl, don't scream! I'm not a bad person! I walked for a day and felt sleepy. When I saw no one here, I lay down to rest and planned to leave at dawn. I didn't mean to blaspheme the girl!"
The woman said: "Turn your back and wait for me to put on my clothes!"
Xu Ying turned his back and heard the sound of getting dressed. The woman said, "I'm done dressing. Just turn around."
Xu Ying turned around and saw a gleaming sword on his shoulder. The woman's almond-shaped eyes widened and she said angrily: "What a scumbag, you bullied me! I want your blood to be splashed on the spot today!"
Xu Ying said quickly: "Girl, I really didn't mean to come here, and I didn't mean to be frivolous. Besides, I am a cultivator, you can't hurt me..."
When he just said this, he felt a chill in his heart, and the vitality in his body disappeared without a trace!
The woman moved the sword in her hand and shouted: "What's your name? So that I can know which romantic ghost died under my sword, Feng Xueer!"
Xu Ying realized that he had lost all his cultivation, and secretly said, "Girl, my name is Xu Ying."
"Promise?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly her pretty face turned red, she dropped her sword, turned around and ran away.
Xu Ying was startled, then suddenly realized, he stood up quickly and was about to slip out. At this moment, a woman and several maids came outside with the shy girl. The woman smiled from a distance and said, "It turns out it's my uncle." He came without even telling me! Who arranged for my uncle to stay in this boudoir?"
Xu Ying was stunned and at a loss, and quickly said: "When will I..."
The girl was shy and timid, rolled her eyes at him, and whispered: "I thought he was a slut, and I almost hurt him..."
The woman said seriously: "Although it is a marriage that has been arranged long ago, my girl has not married yet, so there is no reason to break into the boudoir. Since my uncle is here, it is better to have the marriage at my Feng family, so as not to Others gossip.”
"Master Zhong! Master Zhong!"
Xu Ying called out quickly, but there was no sound from the big bell. Xu Ying called An Qi again, but there was no response from An Qi.
Xu Ying panicked and whispered: "It's a dream! It's an illusion! Just wake up later!"
He thought it was a dream and settled down without resisting.
The wedding day, although it was hasty, was beautiful. When the wedding night came, all the guests had left and the fun was far away. Xu Ying sat by the bed, feeling his heart pounding, telling himself that this was a dream, not real.
But my heart still couldn't stop beating.
The young girl Feng Xueer lifted a corner of her hijab and said with a chuckle: "You dare to break into someone else's boudoir and lie on someone else's bed, but you don't dare to take off someone else's hijab?"
Xu Ying mustered up the courage to step forward and remove the girl's hijab, blushing and not daring to look at her.
Feng Xueer leaned in his arms, feeling her body softening, and smiled: "Somehow, when I saw you, my heart beat so hard. I feel as if I have known you for a long time..."
She raised her head, her eyes were like stars, and Xu Ying saw a familiar light in her eyes.
He had seen this kind of starlight in Yuan Rushi's eyes.
She kissed him, it was a familiar smell.
The night knocked over the bead curtain, and I felt that the spring night was too short.
The next day, Xu Ying thought it was a dream and silently called the big clock in his heart, but he never got a response. This dream was very long. Feng Xueer got up and went with him to meet his parents.
On this day, I suddenly became happy. It was a happiness that the young snake catcher had never dared to imagine before.
After a few months, he gradually forgot about Gong Qi, the big clock, and the Bamboo Chanchan. He felt that that was his dream, and he couldn't live in a dream.
The happiness right now is real. He particularly cherished the days spent with Feng Xueer.
On this day, Feng Xueer told him that several great magicians came to Diqiu, and they were ordered by Emperor Wu to come to Diqiu to do telepathy. Sensation between heaven and man is a way of practice proposed by a Qi practitioner named Dong to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth.
Xu Ying didn't take it to heart at first. The communication between heaven and humans held by the great mages was very long, and they communicated with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Gradually, the celestial phenomena underwent extremely terrifying changes. The heaven and earth were tilting, and the people in the city were very worried.
But fortunately nothing happened.
On this day, Xu Ying woke up from his sleep, and suddenly there was nothing around him. He had an ominous premonition in his heart. When he walked out of the room, Feng Mansion was empty, with no one there.
He staggered out of Feng Mansion. The streets were empty and there was no one. The steamers on the street were steaming, the tea in the tea shop was still warm, and the braised beef was fragrant.
However, there was no one in Diqiu.
Everyone disappeared.
He became panicked and looked for his wife and the Archmage, but found nothing.
"Where have you been?" His voice was hoarse, looking around like a madman.
"Where are the people?"
"Xue'er!"
He seemed to have lost everything, crying loudly, with tears streaming down his face, and walked alone on the deserted street.
On this day, he lost everything. He cried heartbreakingly like a wounded wolf.
God gave him the best, but then took it away.
If he hadn't given it, he wouldn't be so sad.
In the tea shop, a frowning old man appeared with a cup of hot tea on the table.
"Drink this cup of tea, and you will forget everything that happened here, and you will have a new life." The sad-looking old man said to him.
Xu Ying lost all hope and staggered towards the cup of tea.
…
"Ah Ying! Ah Ying!" The bell rang, and the sound of the big bell seemed to come from a far away place, getting closer and closer.
Xu Ying suddenly woke up and saw that he had arrived at the street of Diqiu City at some point. He was standing in a tea shop as if in a dream, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
Xu Ying hurriedly put down the tea cup and touched his face, which was full of tears.
"Ah Ying, you are sleepwalking!" Xian Qi said seriously.
"Am I sleepwalking?" Xu Ying said in despair.
Zhuchanchan said: "Yes, you were sleepwalking and yelling. You seemed to have lost everything all at once. You cried so miserably. You are always looking for someone in your dreams."
"Is it?"
Xu Ying calmed down and looked down at the cup of tea on the table.
Is the dream real?
Or is it just a real dream?
"If so, this is a cup of Meng Po soup."
He picked up the cup of tea from three thousand years ago and drank it in one gulp. It had a familiar taste.
