"Dream Bell"

Fang Chu almost shouted "City Lord", but when he saw the mask with silver threads, he swallowed it back.

This is the lord of his family, but not quite.

He had seen Wu Xingxue like this wearing a mask and holding a sword, in the interrogation between Tiansu and Yun Hai at the bottom of the Great Bei Valley. People in the interrogation called this kind of Wu Xingxue——

"Spirit King..." Fang Chu murmured.

When the visitor heard these words, he seemed stunned for a moment, and his tone was quite surprising: "What did you call me?"

Only then did Fang Chu realize that he had spoken out what he was thinking, and immediately shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I didn't say anything."

He was not as reckless as Ning Huaishan. He still didn't understand the situation he was in, so he naturally didn't dare to respond carelessly.

But the other party didn't let him fool him and said, "My ears are very good. You just called me Spirit King."

Fang Chu still didn't dare to answer and stared at him without blinking.

"What about you, did you hear that?" The man tilted his head behind him and asked.

Two little boys were lying next to the door, one of them stretched out his head and echoed: "I heard it! He called the Lord Spirit King."

Remember http://om in one second

"Look." The man turned around again, his tone not very serious, rather like a spring breeze blowing on his face.

But Fang Chu still didn't dare to move, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "Can't you call me that?"

"Of course, everyone in Xiandu calls them that." The man smiled, then softened his voice with some doubts, "But you are not from Xiandu. I don't control bad luck, nor do I ask about blessings or misfortune. , there is no place in the world where my statue will be enshrined, and naturally no name will be spread."

"So why do you call me Spirit King? Do you recognize me?" The man lifted his mask a little, revealing his beautiful eyes. The ends of the eyes are slightly downward, as dark and thick as ink.

It was indeed Wu Xingxue.

Fang Chu was completely confused...

He actually met the city lord who was still working as an immortal?

He quietly pinched the flesh with his nails. It did hurt, and it was not a dream.

"I..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. You can't say "I am your subordinate after you become a demon", right?

Finally, he choked out: "I don't know either."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to give himself an answer as to what kind of nonsense this was.

Unexpectedly, the Spirit King just raised his eyebrows and said softly: "That's it..."

He was distracted for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. He seemed to be deep in thought.

Fang Chu glanced around quickly, then he was startled when he realized it, and said: "Wait a minute, Cheng...Lord Spirit King, am I in the Immortal Capital?"

The Spirit King came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise where do you think it is?"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Fang Chu suddenly stood up! The swiftness of his movements and the alertness of his expression shocked everyone in the room.

The two little boys wondered: "Are there any nails on the bed to pierce you?"

Not only the bed, but also the floor wished there were nails piercing the soles of his feet. Fang Chu raised his legs repeatedly, as if he had nowhere to put his feet. He was startled, and his voice was extremely tight: "Me?"

"Why am I in Xiandu?"

After all, he is an evil demon. He can vomit for a long time when he encounters a statue with a stronger spiritual energy. What's more, in the immortal city with the most spiritual energy, he shouldn't vomit it——

Um?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Fang Chu was stunned.

Because he suddenly realized that he had no reaction, no dizziness, no vomiting. If it hadn't been for the fast bounce just now, his heartbeat wouldn't even have gotten heavier.

This state made him very puzzled.

Before he could figure out the reason, the two little boys muttered: "You are so strange. If ordinary people find out that they are destined to go to the immortal capital, they will not be happy enough. Why are you so scared?"

"that is."

"If you hadn't met Tiansu and us adults, you would have been broken into pieces by now."

"That's right."

"Tiansu?" Fang Chu heard another familiar name and couldn't help but ask one more question.

The two little boys talked a lot, and they talked to each other. After a while, Fang Chu remembered the whole story——

Ever since he entered Luohuatai, he had been separated from the city lord and the others. While looking for the other people, he was accidentally attacked from behind. The person who attacked him from behind was a rare master in the world. He didn't even see who that person was before he was knocked out of his soul.

The empty body was taken away by the attacker, who didn't know what to do with his skin. And after his soul left the body, he fell into a state of confusion.

At first, he remembered that he was looking for someone.

City Lord, Tiansu, Ning Huaishan or Yi Wusheng, whichever one you can find will do.

Then he became confused.

The longer the soul without a body wanders in the world, the more confused and confused it becomes. His "finding someone" slowly became an instinct.

He forgot what he was going to do, so he subconsciously headed south until he reached the place where Que Buluo was. But at this time, Quebuluo was still a wilderness, without the towering tree or the mansion.

When he got there, he didn't recognize it.

So he wandered around in a daze and wandered to another place.

A mortal goes through the reincarnation of life and death with his soul, and he instinctively goes to several places, perhaps places related to his current life, the previous life, or even the previous life. He wandered from south to north and reached

A mountain village in the outskirts of Mianzhou.

There were not many families living in that mountain village. He wandered there all night and scared many villagers, thinking that evil spirits were causing trouble.

The little boy held his whisk in his hand and said seriously: "Sir Tiansu happened to be passing by and heard that there was an evil spirit in the mountain village, so he went to see it. Later, a letter was sent and we, the adults, were also called."

Another little boy muttered: "I don't know why, but I actually brought the fairy capital."

"Maybe you look alone."

"Maybe the adults think we two are not clever anymore and want to pick someone up to be a boy again."

"..."

The two little boys talked with great energy, their mouths flattened and they looked aggrieved.

The Spirit King held up their Qiu Tianjiu angrily, pointed to the door with his chin and said, "I don't think you are not clever. Go out and guard the door for a while. I have something to ask him."

The two little boys responded with a "Hey" and turned around three times before walking away.

When they were gone and out of sight, King Ling played with the mask in his hand and looked at Fang Chu, as if he was considering it.

But Fang Chu couldn't hold back and asked him: "Cheng...Lord Ling Wang."

Spirit King: "Huh?"

Fang Chu hesitated and said: "As far as I know, ordinary people cannot go to the immortal capital casually."

The Spirit King nodded: "Indeed, you can't be considered an ordinary person. The evil spirit in your soul is not light."

Fang Chu said: "Then why didn't Tiansu punish me on the spot and brought me back to the immortal capital?"

After hearing this, King Ling first smiled and said, "You misunderstood Xiao... well, you misunderstood Tiansu. He doesn't just raise his hand to punish someone after catching him."

After speaking, he looked at Fang Chu again and said, "When he met you in the mountain village, you said something to him. Do you still remember?"

Mortals go through life and death with their souls. If the separated souls drift without support for a long time, their consciousness will become chaotic and the remaining memories of several lives will be mixed together. Fang Chu tried to remember, but he could only think of the smoky nights in the mountain villages and some desolate tombs.

I can’t remember anything else.

He shook his head.

The Spirit King pondered for a moment and said: "He sent me a message telling me that when you saw him, you mentioned 'under the south window' and also mentioned 'something happened to my master'."

Fang Chu was stunned.

When he heard these words, he finally had a vague picture in his mind——

He wandered in the mountain village, wandering around an arch bridge, and when he saw Tiansu wearing a soap robe and holding a silver sword walking towards him, he felt a little breathless for some reason.

It was as if he had been running in panic for a long time, running across long jade roads and arch bridges one after another, desperately trying to find someone to talk to about something important. But he couldn't run anywhere, and he couldn't see anyone.

Until the moment Tiansu appeared, he widened his eyes in confusion and murmured softly: "Master Tiansu, I finally found you. Why is it so far under the south window? I ran for a long time."

Tiansu looked a little stunned, and after a moment he frowned: "How did you know..."

"Forget it." Halfway through, he changed his words and said, "What do you want from me?"

Fang Chu, who only had his soul, said: "Something happened to my master."

Tiansu's eyebrows tightened: "Who is your master...?"

Fang Chu failed to answer.

At that moment, he just felt...as if hundreds of years of strength were suddenly exhausted at that moment, and his soul was almost blown away by the wind. He was in tears and unconscious. When I wake up again, I will be in this immortal capital at this moment.

Ling Dynasty glanced outside the large window lattice and muttered half to himself: "While he is going to the human world to do business at the moment, let me ask you -"

He looked at Fang Chu quietly and said, "When you said something happened to your family, did you mean... me?"

Fang Chu was stunned, and his expression was at a loss for a moment.

In fact, he didn't know who the "my master" he was talking about was probably a residual obsession from his previous life, or even the previous life. How could he remember clearly now?

"I don't know either." Fang Chu thought for a while and said, "Why do you think so, sir? Is it because I called you 'Spirit King' when I saw you before?"

He wanted to say that it was actually because I met you later, and it had nothing to do with those previous lives.

As a result, before he opened his mouth, he heard the Spirit King say: "There is a mark on your soul."

Fang Chu was surprised and said: "Seal? What kind of mark?"

He lowered his head and looked at himself, but he couldn't see any difference, let alone see his soul clearly through the paper body.

The Spirit King said: "No need to look for it, you can't see that mark, no one else can see it, only I can see it."

Fang Chu had doubts in his heart.

The Spirit King said: "You have seen those two little boys just now. I made a mark on each of their souls. It was of no other use. I just thought that one day in the future, they would get tired of being around. Immortal Capital, I want to return to the human world and enter reincarnation. After reincarnation, I can get some news."

He was quiet for a moment and said: "The mark on your soul is exactly the same as that of my little boy."

Fang Chu was stunned for a long time and suddenly raised his head.

At that moment, many scenes from the past came flooding back like a tsunami.

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he lived in the wilderness and was devoured by evil spirits and became inhuman form. He was covered in blood and was abandoned among the grass and trees like a piece of old bloody clothes. When he was in agony and lost consciousness, he saw a dark carriage suddenly stop silently on the side of the road.

He vaguely saw a high

The thin figure bent down and took him into the carriage.

From then on, he had a place called "The Bird Does Not Fall".

Like many people in Zhaoye City, he was always afraid of the city lord. But he still vaguely remembered that when the figure bent down and stretched out his hand to search for his soul, his half-downcast eyes were gentle and compassionate.

He once thought it was an illusion. Sometimes when he talked about this with that idiot Ning Huaishan, you and I would always wonder. There were so many evil spirits in Zhaoye City, why the two of them would become Que Buluo's longest-lasting residents. guest.

Until this day, perhaps by chance, he met the Spirit King hundreds of years ago.

He finally knew that that gentle and compassionate gaze really existed and was not an illusion.

***

Fang Chu was stunned for a long time, and then he heard King Ling say: "I have only given marks like this to those two little ones. You have also seen that these two little boys are still here well. Then...where did you come from?" Where’s the one coming?”

For a moment, Fang Chu wanted to answer. He really wanted to tell the person in front of him that he came from hundreds of years later. At that time, there was no longer a spiritual king in the world, but there was an additional evil demon named Wu Xingxue. He wanted to remind the person in front of him that it might help him avoid some trouble.

But when he was about to speak, Fang Chu still hesitated.

He wasn't sure whether the impact of saying this would be good or bad.

What's more, he wasn't completely sure that the man in front of him was really the Spirit King back then. He needs a little more proof to be more secure.

For example, seeing Tiansu from the same period?

It's possible for one person to be pretending, but it's a bit difficult for two people.

Fang Chu did not answer for a long time, but King Ling was not annoyed at all.

He just smiled and muttered: "You were pretty stupid when you were a kid, but now you're quite defensive."

The little boy outside suddenly called him: "Sir, Tiansu has returned with a letter."

The Spirit King held up his mask, raised the curtain and went out.

Fang Chu relaxed his shoulders and suddenly heard a vague voice in his ears. Someone was calling his name: "Fang Chu."

He stiffened, turned his head and looked around, and heard the voice say again: "Don't look around."

The more words this sentence has, the less blurry the sound will be.

Fang Chu was confused and muttered: "Tiansu?"

"Yeah." The voice responded.

Fang Chu was quiet for a moment and asked in a very low voice: "Which heaven are you from?"

That voice: "..."

Before the other party could answer, Fang Chu reacted immediately. If it were the Heavenly Immortal from hundreds of years ago, he would not be called "Fang Chu".

What a stupid thing I asked, now it's good, Tiansu will definitely ignore me.

Fang Chu cursed himself in his heart.

Then the voice sounded again: "No."

Fang Chu was shocked.

At this point, he finally realized that this was some kind of sound transmission that would not be noticed by others.

Fang Chu tried to ask in his mind: "Tiansu, where are you? Where is our city lord? Are we with you?"

Xiao Fuxuan's voice sounded: "He is here."

He paused and then said solemnly: "We are in Taiyin Mountain."

Fang Chu: "Taiyin Mountain?"

If Luohuatai is the entrance to Zhaoye City, the Devil's Cave, then the thirty-three-story sky-reaching tower in Taiyin Mountain is the entrance to the Immortal Capital.

In the present world, when the Immortal City collapsed, Taiyin Mountain and the Tongtian Tower collapsed together. Now that they were hundreds of years ago, the Immortal Capital was still there, and naturally Taiyin Mountain and Tongtian Tower were also there.

Fang Chu was stunned for a moment before reacting: "I'm in the Immortal Capital! So you and the city lord are right below the Immortal Capital?"

Xiao Fuxuan: "Yeah."

Fang Chu glanced towards the outer room, his heart beat suddenly and rapidly, and he asked, "Are you coming up?"

***

Near the extreme north, next to the former "Imperial Capital", there is a high mountain that is covered with snow all year round. The mountain looks white from a distance, and there is a tall tower as white as snow on the top of the mountain. The tower has thirty-three floors in total, and the top floor is always surrounded by clouds and mist.

If someone climbs to the top of the tower and disappears into the clouds, he will find that there is a cave above. Through the clouds and mist, you can see the high white jade steps of Xiandu.

Xiao Fuxuan and Wu Xingxue, who came to Luanxian to find Fang Chu, are now under the tower.

But they did not immediately go up the tower.

Because in their opinion, the existence of this immortal capital is very strange.

Wu Xingxue has cut through countless messy threads, and the origin of those messy threads always lies in the human world, because only the human world is trapped by life and death, and only those who are greedy and want to start over again are involved in so many chaos. Wire.

Therefore, among those chaotic lines, the human world is clear, but the fairyland is always blurry, just like the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, they are just shadows of the present world projected onto the past. Above the layer of clouds and mist at the top of Taiyin Mountain, there should not be a spiritual platform of heaven that could compare with the present world, nor should there be a spiritual king who could truly cut through the chaos.

But this messy line is different.

Perhaps it was because even though it originated from the Feng family, there was the Immortal Flower Letter mixed into it, so that the starting point of this chaotic line was no longer just the human world, it also brought the immortal capital into it.

Xiao Fuxuan tried in every possible way and successfully transmitted the message. The moment he confirmed the location of Fang Chu, Wu Xingxue whispered: "No wonder..."

Xiao Fuxuan: "What?"

Wu Xingxue looked up at the sky and said, "No wonder this chaotic line has become the most special exception, because there is an immortal capital on this line."

Xiao Fuxuan frowned.

Wu Xingxue poked him and said, "Ask Fang Chu, where is he in Xiandu right now?"

In fact, one can guess without asking that Fang Chu himself could not have touched the Immortal Capital for no reason, he could only have been brought there. He is just a touch of soul, who else can bring him to the Immortal Capital?

Xiao Fuxuan didn't need to ask, so he just said: "Nine times out of ten, I will sit in the spring breeze."

But he still sent the message, and sure enough, Fang Chu replied: "I am at the city lord...oh no, the previous city lord."

Wu Xingxue's expression suddenly became complicated, and he muttered: "There really is a Spirit King."

He thought for a while and poked Xiao Fuxuan again: "Ask him again, what does the Spirit King look like? Is he wearing the mask or taking off the mask? Has his true face been revealed?"

The purpose of asking so many questions is actually only one, which is to confirm how "real" the Spirit King above the Immortal Capital is.

Xiao Fuxuan naturally knew what he meant. When he sent the message to Fang Chu, he only said: "How different is the Spirit King you saw from him?"

Fang Chu didn't react for a moment and replied: "He? Who?"

After a moment, he understood with an "Oh": "Tiansu, what you mean is... how different is the spirit king of this immortal capital from the city lord?"

Fang Chu muttered a little, and then realized that Xiao Fuxuan rarely used the name "Wu Xingxue" when talking to others, let alone "your city lord", and always used "he" .

And every time he called "Wu Xingxue", it was only to himself.

"Let me take a look." Fang Chu pondered for a moment and said, "I saw him during Yun Hai's interrogation. This Spirit King is just like that. It seems... there is no difference."

"He is also wearing a mask and holding a sword. Now that he has taken off the mask and is holding it in his hand, he looks exactly like the city lord. There is no difference in his tone of voice. Hiss...ah, there is one!"

He described it for a long time and finally found a little difference.

Xiao Fuxuan asked in a deep voice: "What?"

Fang Chu said: "There is no bell on his waist."

"There is no Mengling?" Wu Xingxue was stunned for a moment and said: "Is it never, or is it?"

There was no sound from Fang Chu, who seemed to be trying to find a way to inquire.

After a long time, Fang Chu's voice transmission came again. He said, "The Spirit King has gone out. I just tried to trick those two little boys."

Xiao Fuxuan: "How?"

Fang Chu said: "This Spirit King has a dream bell, but he lost it."

"Lost?"

"Yes. The two little boys said that once the Soul King came to the human world, he entered somewhere by mistake. When he came back, his waist was empty and the Mengling was gone. Because of this, the Soul King was in a bad mood for a while. . Later, every time these two little boys went to the human world, they would shout that they wanted to find the Dream Bell again. Logically speaking, it should be easy to find the Dream Bell if it is left in the world. After all, it is an immortal treasure. Whose hands does it fall into? Everyone will be robbed or envied. Rumors and legends must be flying all over the sky. Isn't that what the Hua family's rumors about the "immortal treasure" were like. In short, no matter where it is left in the world, there should be some traces. But the Spirit King said that it is not necessary. I looked for it, but couldn’t find it.”

"Can't find it?"

"I also asked why I was so sure I couldn't find it. It is said that the Soul King said that that place is not an ordinary human world. If you accidentally fall there, it will be difficult to find it again."

Xiao Fuxuan didn't know what he thought of, and repeated in a deep voice: "This is not an ordinary world..."

Wu Xingxue was stunned for a while when he heard the words, then suddenly lowered his head and looked at Meng Ling on his waist.

These descriptions suddenly gave him an idea...

The original rumors about the Hua family said that the Hua family's Dream Bell was a "fairy treasure found by chance" and was always being cared for by the head of the family, Hua Zhaoting. Later, the big devil Wu Xingxue went to Hua's house and lost the dream bell. But not long after, the Mengling returned to the Hua family's hands. Then, Wu Xingxue went to the Immortal Capital to kill him.

For a long time, Wu Xingxue had been speculating on the ins and outs of this, and why he took the Mengling and then returned it. If it was returned to the Hua family, how could he rely on the dream he had in the Canglang Northern Territory?

This time point doesn't match up, it seems difficult to explain.

But what if... there is more than one Dream Bell in this world?

What if this spiritual king did not stray into a random line, and his dream bell was not lost in a random line, but fell into the real world?
