But ask the people

Chapter 38 Turnover

The seasons change, and the new year has passed in a blink of an eye.

-

Collar.

Standing on the high pavilion, Shen Chaosheng looked at the busy common people, the streets and alleys hung with lanterns, and the crowded downtown, with nothing but silence in his eyes.

Someone came up behind her, saluted the young suzerain respectfully, and then said cautiously: "Young master...Jiang Zongyue who is locked under the meeting hall."

"died."

Shen Chaosheng closed his eyes.

At this time, a little bit of fine snow suddenly fell from the sky, and Shen Chaosheng felt the wet and cold touch of his fingertips, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

-

Yunqingmen.

Lu Mingxi was handing in the supplies for this raid, when a new disciple next to her asked her, "Senior Sister Lu, will you go to this year's Illusion Trial as well?"

Lu Mingxi smiled, the blue and white disciple Yunqing's robe looked particularly good on her.

"nature."

-

Cangshan.

The time in Xiao Zhoutian passed slowly, and Jiang Yi felt the aura flowing intimately in her spiritual consciousness. After everything in Zhou Tian dissipated, it all returned to her body and became her strength.

Close the five senses, abandon the spiritual consciousness, accept the rivers, and understand the sky, until there is nothing but whiteness in front of you.

Only the day hanging high in the sky has not disappeared, and it is as clear as ever.

……

Another long time passed.

The sun is about to melt into Changchuan.The roaring sound in the ears was long and powerful, and the scorching heat burned directly into the heart, mixed with the smell of mud and grass that had been scorched to wilt by the scorching sun, with a high-temperature smell, and the withered and yellow tip of the tail was tightly covered.

There is no lack of life here.

The cold wind blows, and the light is not on the side of the long and remote wilderness, leaving only the unwilling heart still beating. Difficult to deal with, symbolizing an inexplicable omen, thick black mist.

The butterfly in front of Jiang Yi's eyes transformed into Shen Chaosheng's appearance, but it was different from Shen Chaosheng's usual attire.

Neither the dark red and purple long clothes on his body, nor the blood-red marks at the corners of his eyes are what Jiang Yi remembers.

Jiang Yi couldn't perceive how long it had passed. At first, the sun and the moon alternated, and she could still tell the time. Later, when the moon disappeared, it was difficult for her to see the alternation of day and night.

Zhou Tian is always bright, and it has only been a few months for Jiang Yi to go from being uncomfortable and uncomfortable at the beginning to being indifferent now.

Now, Jiang Yi watched the phantom of the butterfly, and said nothing for a long time.

The phantom seemed to expect that Jiang Yi would not take the initiative to speak, so she asked: "If I die, what should you do?"

"..."

Jiang Yi took a deep breath, his voice was as dull as water, as if he had no affection for the person in front of him.

"Since the first time I met in the sword test, I got to know Tianlin again."

"The lanterns and shadows of the festive season are like illusions, and all the difficulties covered by snow."

It seemed to be speaking plainly, but slowly.

"Get rid of evil spirits, see the mysterious water, reflect the peach blossoms, and bid farewell to the mountains and rivers."

"Yeah, that's all."

There was puzzlement in her eyes.

"Why do you think that your death has something to do with me?"

"Why do you think, what will I do after you die?"

Every time she asked a question, the smile on the phantom's face deepened.

Jiang Yi had nothing to answer, when her voice fell, the surroundings became calm, what she saw just now was like a phantom.

In an instant, Shen Chaosheng and Bairi disappeared together, and Zhou Tian was shattered immediately, overflowing with thousands of vitality.

"Destroy the Tao, mold the Cangshan Mountain."

"Break the world and create suffering."

Abandon the way of swordsmanship and do nothing for the common people.

This trip to the sky, aspire to the top of the sky.

Her voice was firm, echoing in the silent world.

"All for one person."

Jiang Yi also had an answer to the question she asked when she was going down the mountain. The question was in the person, but the answer was in the heart, but she couldn't say the answer for the time being.

After Jiang Yi came out of retreat, she first took a bath in the hot spring in the backyard. She looked at the empty courtyard and the pear blossoms scattered all over the ground after the failure again, but she was not at all moved.

Jiang Yi was 23 years old, breaking through the way of the common people, but unfortunately, the people in the world who congratulated her were never seen again.

In Jiang Yi's heart, there was unprecedented desolation, abundant spiritual consciousness, and tyrannical spiritual power. She clearly didn't have any consciousness, couldn't feel emotions, but there was a faint pain in her heart.

Jiang Yi did not leave Cangshan Mountain after leaving the customs. She stayed in the yard full of pear trees for a long time, as if she had never left here. To put it bluntly, the practice of common people's swordsmanship was of little benefit, but she still swung her sword day after day, and her movements became stiff. The sword cut across the five-leaved pear tree branches, lifted the residual leaves on the ground, and rolled through the clouds like clouds. White gas, just like when Jiang Zongyue was still looking at her.

Su Zeng said that it would take Jiang Yi two years to walk out of Cangshan Mountain. She returned to Cangshan Mountain in November, and realized Zhoutian after a year and five months. Cangshan, until February of another year, when I stayed in the courtyard, I saw the pale white pear blossoms full of trees again, falling with the wind like rain, Jiang Yi finally put down the iron sword with a broken handle, and then waved the white mist of Cangshan Dispersed, put on black robes, held the black long sword, and left Cangshan Mountain.

Jiang Yi went down the mountain as before, all the way north, passing through Wu'an, and passing through many places.

Occasionally passing by a certain village and town, there are children's adoring eyes and villagers' greetings with a little respect. As mortals, they can feel Jiang Yi's extraordinaryness, like a god who has fallen from catastrophe.

Or if there is a monster in a certain place, Jiang Yi will clean it up for the local people.

It's just that Jiang Yi no longer has doubts about the world, she just follows the sword, but no longer expects anyone to give her an answer.

Someone asked her where she came from as an immortal, whether she has a sect, and whether she has become an immortal.

Jiang Yi shook his head, and replied, "I come from Cangshan Mountain. I have no sect, and I'm not considered a fairy."

Her brows are full of character, but her indifferent eyes are unmoved.

Someone asked again: "Where did the immortal head go?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment, but shook his head again.

She hadn't ascended, and she didn't have the slightest miracle. She was still one step away, the last step to open the god level. She had an answer to say, and she had to take another look at someone.

But Jiang Yi couldn't do it, at least for now.

She knew that Shen Chaosheng would definitely avoid her, so she never set foot on the clan territory along the way, let alone the upper collar.

She is also worried that now she has no love in her heart, let alone feel other people's emotions, so Shen Chaosheng will definitely be sad.

Jiang Yi walked to the capital and stopped by to visit Lu Chao in the palace.

When Lu Chao saw her, he was not surprised that Jiang Yi would break through the critical barrier. Even in Zhongzhou, where the aura was thin, he could not find it difficult to see that Jiang Yi was surrounded by the looming golden aura.

This was originally a good omen, but among the thousands of spiritual breaths, there are a few undetectable red silk threads, which are different from the order of other spiritual breaths. The dance is wanton and messy, and Lu Chao can't tell whether these silk threads are Jiang Yi's misfortune is still marriage.

But he knew that it must be related to Shen Chaosheng.

Jiang Yi didn't intend to stay, but just told Jiang Zongyue the secret method of water mystery according to Jiang Zongyue's letter.

Jiang Zongyue said: "Everyone in the world praises Dao but is ruthless, but there is love first."

I don't know if she said it to Lu Chao or Jiang Yi.

Before Jiang Yi left, Lu Chao said to her, "You will be in charge of the common people one day. It may not be good to stay in the world."

After hearing this, Jiang Yi said, "I see, brother."

Lu Chao thought that Jiang Yi didn't feel grateful when he called his senior brother.

How could Jiang Yi be indifferent to Jiang Zongyue's death? After being too forgetful, she just didn't want to think about why Jiang Zongyue disappeared by chance after she came out of the Shuixuan mirror. Didn't even look at her.

And Lu Chao's meaningless exhortation to Jiang Yi must not have much effect.

After Jiang Yi left the capital, he walked through the first layer of Changzhou Mountain and walked to Yunqing Gate.

……

"Senior Sister Lu, if we die here, you have to take our names out."

"Yes, Senior Sister, none of my family's ancestors have a celestial relationship, and I am the only one with spiritual roots. I also want A Niang to show...the sword skills I have learned."

The air is filled with the atmosphere of prohibition and burning after the death of monsters. Dead plants are entwined around the entrance of the cave.

This is a part of the content of this Tianlin Examination. It was compiled jointly by the four clans. There are 12 inner disciples in a group, and the three groups compete to determine the winner. This is the evaluation method that has been changed in recent years. The purpose is to make the disciples more united. , and at the same time learn how to deal with the tide of monsters, so as to contribute to the rampant future of the Demon Realm.

This year, Yunqing Sect regards this illusion as a test for their own disciples, and selects capable disciples to enter the illusion for a try, and Lu Mingxi is also on the list.

But after really entering the illusion, Lu Mingxi caught a glimpse of the talisman array at the entrance of the cave, and an alarm bell rang in his heart.

"Stop moving forward! Exit the illusion!" Lu Mingxi waved the crowd away, telling them to burn out the trial talismans and exit the illusion. Although the disciples didn't understand the reason, they still followed suit, but after the bright yellow talisman paper burned, there was nothing occur.

Some disciples hurriedly asked Lu Mingxi for help.

"Senior Sister! We can't seem to get out!"

Lu Mingxi had a terrible headache, and stared at the talisman on the cave, as if he wanted to see through it.

She recognized it at a glance, the ending of the last stroke of this talisman was clearly like Shen Chaosheng's handwriting!

Lu Mingxi gritted her teeth tightly. She knew that Shen Chaosheng's talisman was formed, and no matter how much she destroyed it, it would be useless. She simply raised her hand, and smashed the talisman and the rock above the cave with her palm.

Since Shen Chaosheng left, first the disciple was killed by a blow of a copper coin, and then similar news spread from various sects, all pointing at Shen Chaosheng.

As the young master of the Shen family, Shen Chaosheng acted unscrupulously, he didn't care about these things, and even had a faint tendency to oppose the other three families.

And the whole Shen family seemed to connive and acquiesce to Shen Chaosheng's behavior without any objection.

Lu Mingxi felt that Shen Chaosheng was simply crazy.

She heard a lot of news about Shen Chaosheng this year, except for those who were angry with her, there were also some rumors about her earlier.

Before getting to know Jiang Yi, Shen Chaosheng used the name of Shen Zhichen to travel all over the four states, acting recklessly to the point of resembling Jiang Zongyue back then.

Later, after meeting Jiang Yi, everyone felt that Shen Chaosheng and the young sword god hung together like a pair of pearls and double pride, and praise was more important than awe.

And after Jiang Yi retreated, Shen Chaosheng's actions made people call him almost crazy.

Burning villages and towns, killing monks, what else can Shen Chaosheng not do?

According to legend, someone visited Shen Chaosheng in Shangling last year, saying that he wanted to form a faction in Shangling. Somehow, Shen Chaosheng's talk fell apart. In the end, his head was wrung off and thrown on the street in Shangling...

For a while, the Xiuxian Mountain Realm was panicked, and they all said that before the Demon Realm came in, they would be wiped out by Shen Chao first.

The reason why the other three families tolerated Shen Chaosheng so much was because Shen Chaosheng had been to the border twice and helped them a lot.

So they had no choice but to publicize that Shen Chaosheng was just too tired from killing demons and was looking for fun to relax.

……

But no matter what, now that Shen Chaosheng trapped the Yunqingmen disciples in an illusion, Lu Mingxi felt indescribably angry.

Lu Mingxi's voice sank a lot, and she said to the disciples behind her: "Destroy the monsters first, and find another strategy."

Before she could finish speaking, three monsters rushed out of the cave, each with fierce fangs, as if they were going to devour them.

Lu Mingxi not only has to fight against monsters, but also takes care of his disciples. This group of disciples are all good seedlings selected this year. Unfortunately, they lack experience and it is difficult to resist the attacks of monsters.

Lu Mingxi led them for ten days, until the aura of the dead monsters permeated the surroundings, and the concentration reached the extreme, and she was accidentally attacked by the monsters in the right arm, and could no longer hold the sword.

They worked together to defeat the last monster. Many people lost their consciousness. Like Lu Mingxi, they leaned against the stone wall to breathe and struggled to wake up. However, some people were unable to recover. Finally, they made a plan.

"Senior sister, we plan to use spiritual power to send you out."

Lu Mingxi pressed his unconscious right arm, frowned and said, "What do you mean!"

"With our spiritual power, at least we can..."

"What is this nonsense!"

There were tears in her eyes, how could she not know that they couldn't get out at all, but she still said firmly.

"We'll go out, we'll go out together."

Now that my arm can no longer lift the sword, even if I send myself out, it is of no use.

She raised her eyes and scanned for a week. The faces of these disciples were more or less stained with blood. Apart from exhaustion and resignation, there was no regret in their expressions.

"As a disciple of Yunqing, no matter one day, one hundred days, or one hundred years, as long as the same sect is still by his side, he will not let go of his anger!"

She forced herself to stand up, the white robe on her body was badly stained by dust and blood, but there was unrivaled determination in her eyes.

"But with friends, but with me!"

"Even if I am distracted, I will keep you safe!"

My heart will not move, even if there are many tribulations, difficult beings, and all kinds of ways, please allow me to write my heavenly book.

Lu Mingxi never gave up, and she was never willing to give up, just like when she broke into the back mountain, she realized that the reputation is only fleeting, but the disciples of the same school are always by her side, which is the hope.

She scattered her spiritual power and re-lighted the spiritual consciousness for the disciples around her until the last moment of exhaustion.

Lu Mingxi's spiritual consciousness finally faded like everyone else's. She finally closed her eyes, but that person's sword would also be destroyed here. Thinking of this, she gave a twisted smile with difficulty.

The next moment, the restriction suddenly reversed to vigorous vitality, a powerful spiritual force poured into everyone's spiritual consciousness, they gradually regained consciousness and woke up, and the same was true for Lu Mingxi, she opened her eyes forcefully, and saw standing in front of her Ginger dressed in black.

Lu Mingxi had never seen Jiang Yi wearing black clothes, she had always been dressed in plain robes to stand alongside Shen Chaosheng's purple clothes, and was known as a model of righteousness.

But now, Jiang Yi showed his slender neck, his arms were wrapped in black wristbands, and his waist was wrapped in a belt, which outlined a thin figure, cold and unapproachable.

The moment Lu Mingxi saw Jiang Yi, she even thought she was hallucinating, but she still hurriedly said: "Jiang Yi, what are you doing here! You can't get out of this place, so you will be trapped here too!"

Jiang Yi turned around after hearing her voice, her expression was difficult to distinguish, her gaze seemed to be covered with ice and snow on a cold mountain, Lu Mingxi had never seen Jiang Yi like this before.

Although Jiang Yi looked very cold in the past, at least there was warmth in his eyes, instead of being calm and emotionless like now, which made Lu Mingxi feel extremely strange, but at the same time he felt reasonable.

She seems to have seen the real ginger.

But before she had time to say anything else, she passed out again. She looked at Jiang Yi for the last time, and Jiang Yi stood there quietly with an expressionless expression.

Lu Mingxi felt a bit lost, why did Jiang Yi show no emotion towards her, like someone who had nothing to do with her.

Jiang Yi raised his eyes to look at the formation that resurfaced at the entrance of the cave, and a light flashed in his faint eyes.

She knew that in this illusion, she couldn't even summon a sword.

This is the power of prohibition, and it is also the reason for restricting others from entering and exiting.

However, her gaze turned to Lu Mingxi, or the glowing Guisheng Sword held in her arms.

Jiang Yi slightly raised his palm and said softly.

"Return to life."

The Spiritual Consciousness Sword that Lu Mingxi had been beside him for a long time was obediently attached to Jiang Yi's palm.

Jiang Yi gestured a few sword qi towards the talisman, and in an instant, the illusion shattered, and when the ground collapsed, she brought out Lu Mingxi and others, as easy as swinging an axe to chop wood.

Jiang looked at a circle of worried disciples at the entrance of the illusion, looking very calm.

At the same time that the illusion was closed, Shen Chaosheng, who was sitting in the chair of the Shen family's meeting hall, suddenly felt flustered. She leaned forward immediately, her fingertips tightly gripped the corner of the table, and a drop of sweat dripped down her cheeks.

When she leaned over, the bright red earrings swayed, just like Shen Chaosheng's heart.

Many elders in the audience, including Shen Zhuo, were taken aback, and rushed to Shen Chaosheng's side to check on her condition.

The Young Sect Master has had no worries for many years, except for being seriously injured when he went to Tianlin a few years ago, he has never seen her like this.

Before they took a few steps, Shen Chaosheng had already relaxed a lot, and raised his hand to stop their moving forward.

"Young Sect Master..." Shen Rusheng said worriedly, Shen Chaosheng must not have any accidents.

"No problem." Shen Chaosheng said hoarsely, she knew her body well, Han Tianyuan had been harassing her for two years, two years had passed, nothing would happen, this time it was caused by the counterattack of the formation.

She raised her head and asked something like thunder: "Jiang Yi, have you left the customs?"

When Shen Chaosheng read those two words, she was in a daze. She hadn't left Shangling much in the past two years, and she dealt with clan affairs day and night, and wanted to fight for another way out for the Shen family.

After Jiang Zongyue's death, she learned all the truth from her spiritual knowledge.

Whether it's about Wen Yuzhi's past, what the clan did, or about Jiang Yi.

In the past two years, Shen Chaosheng has seen countless tricks and backstabbing. When he was exhausted, he never dared to think about Jiang Yun.

Wandering around in the middle of the night, she always wondered if there was a turning point between them, and it would not be like Jiang Zongyue thought, both of them would suffer.

But after receiving the blow from Han Tianyuan, she knew that it was impossible.

Bai Yunshu appeared several times, full of ridicule: "You don't expect Jiang Yi to go out and defeat me."

"But I will wait for you to return to the appearance of Demon Realm again."

Her words were like a nightmare.

Shen Chaosheng knew that he had no possibility of being with Jiang Yi anymore.

Institutional schemes, open guns and hidden arrows, clan disputes, and all kinds of means are the destination of Shen Chaosheng.
