Former Sweetheart

Chapter 34

The existence of the Starfall King City has been a thousand years ago. According to the legend of the Yu people in Mobei today, a star fell on a certain day, and many rivers suddenly appeared in the barren desert. The barbarians believed that this was a gift from the gods. A city was built next to it, and the God of Starfall has been worshiped from generation to generation.

The evil energy in the Immortal River is so dense that it is difficult for even a cultivator to go deep into it. This kind of statement is no longer testable. Judging from the results of You Jiang's external observation, the ravines looming in the black mist are indeed a bit like dry rivers.

In the desert, the days are hot and the nights are cold. When everyone reaches the Immortal River, it is already night. A full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the moonlight cast by it is like water, but half of the moonlight cannot enter the Immortal River shrouded in dark clouds, as if it is a place isolated from the outside world. Space.In fact, not only the night, but also the Immortal River during the day, even if the sun is shining brightly, there is only a gloomy and cold atmosphere inside, except for the monsters wandering here, there is no life at all.

The rest camp chosen by You Jiang is exactly where the sect of Changshengmen is located. After a battle with the Demon Cult, it has become ruins. Fortunately, everyone is an old river and lake who has been traveling all the year round. They found a broken house and lit a fire to rest. They are not picky about it. .

Cun Jie has led the accompanying disciples to investigate the situation, while You Jiang is looking at the small clock carefully. This thing is very ordinary in the sun, but when it is dark, it emits faint stars, and it looks like a starry sky under the moonlight. The reflection is extremely mysterious.

This is not the brilliance caused by spiritual power, it should be caused by the material of the little clock itself. Fu Hongye is quite proficient at refining weapons, seeing him pondering this thing, she said: "This set of chimes should be made of meteoric iron mixed with Qingyuan copper. Just don't know where the other parts went."

Although You Jiang didn't do much research on refining equipment, he knew the origin of the meteorite from the sky. This kind of stone that fell from the sky was inaccessible to ordinary people. Only monk Yuanying could remove the impurities and refine it. He couldn't help saying: "The meteorite from the sky This is rare and only a first-class craftsman can shape it, and it was really a luxury for the barbarians in ancient times to use this material to make bells for worshiping gods."

A monk can cultivate himself into a fairy god, so he doesn't understand the worship and awe of gods and ghosts in ancient times, but Fu Hongye shook his head lightly, "After all, spirits and monsters can control the weather of the four seasons. You can see no storms all year round, which is a rare good thing in the desert.”

He also mentioned a few words about the matter of Xingyu Tianzi on the way. You Jiang didn't pay much attention to it, but now he suddenly has a problem. Did you change your name after that?"

"No, just like monks need the dantian meridians to transform spiritual energy, ghosts without form can only store spiritual energy through the land they are in. They are clouds, wind, and everything that people pass by, but they cannot be too far away from the land they formed , even if the emperor goes out, he must return to the territory every month to replenish his spiritual energy, otherwise he will become weak at the slightest, and lose his spiritual veins and gradually disappear."

When Fu Hongye mentioned the spiritual vein, there was a hint of loneliness between his eyebrows. You Jiang glanced at him secretly, although he didn't know the reason, he was still interested. At this time, he just pretended not to notice and continued to ask: "Isn't the spirit unable to move for a lifetime?"

"It's like this, so if they want to be with someone forever, they can only abandon the spiritual power accumulated over thousands of years and turn them into people."

When Fu Hongye spoke, he still looked down at his palm. When he was a ghost, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to touch a person, so that when he really merged with You Jiang, he always tried hard to experience the existence of this person. Is it because of this that You Jiang disliked him?When he is sober, he can control his instincts. That time it was really a matter of demons!

He didn't expect that he was still in the mood to think about these things at this time, and it seemed that he was really bearish, so he smiled helplessly and continued to You Jiang,

"Generally speaking, if the spiritual vein is destroyed, the spirit monster will fall with it. But the situation of the Xingyun Emperor is very strange. The Xingyun King City where it is located has turned into an immortal river, and the fallen spiritual consciousness has also formed a star in Mobei. Shake the spring, but there is an enchanted spirit monster in the Immortal River, which is very similar to it in terms of breath and power. This enchanted spirit monster will devour all living things that enter its own domain, even spirit monsters are no exception, no one knows what it is Where does it come from, it is only called the Immortal Son of Heaven."

The formation of the Immortal Son of Heaven is also a mystery among spirits and monsters. Let’s say it is the Son of Starfall. The spiritual domain of Xingyao Spring is still in Mobei. There have been such ghosts that look like twins.

Now even Fu Hongye can't determine his identity, and You Jiang is even more difficult to guess. However, since Immortal River and Xingyao Spring have the same root and origin, maybe this place will have a way to solve the problem of Xingyao Spring's spiritual energy exhaustion.

After all, You Jiang is more used to relying on himself. It would be great if he could save the Demon Cult by himself. Just as the two of them remained silent with each other's thoughts, Cun Jie, who was in charge of the investigation, also brought back a message, "Master, we are here A bonfire was found ahead. A group of men and horses are camping there to rest, looking at their clothes... like horse bandits?"

When he spoke, he hesitated. Those people had braids and tattoos hanging from their waists, and they were indeed common attire for horse bandits. However, it stands to reason that horse bandits had been eradicated long ago, so why would there be any horses here?

Sure enough, You Jiang frowned when he heard the words, "The whole Mobei is occupied by the Demon Cult, where did this horse bandit come from?"

I don’t know the answer, so I can only tell the result of my own observation, “I concealed my body and searched around them secretly. source."

The other party didn't find the stealthy inch robbery. It seems that the cultivation base should not be high, so You Jiang felt a little relieved. He only pointed to the small bell and said: "This is a button bell, which is usually hung on the top of the bell frame. Ancient clocks and drums are indeed all the rage. After a period of time, it was not favored by music repairers because it was difficult to carry, and it gradually declined. Nowadays, silk and bamboo string music is popular everywhere, and ordinary musicians will not touch chimes, let alone a few horses who can't understand the rhythm at first glance. bandit."

The disciples of Tianshu Pavilion are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although You Jiang specializes in Danqing, he can also play the piano and flute, but he doesn't know much about the music of Zhongli.In ancient times, chime bells were used by kings to hold banquets or offer sacrifices to gods and heaven. Those who are good at this kind of thing are mostly noble priests. You Jiang doesn't think that these horse bandits are carrying a button bell to find the rhythm. Meteor King City came.

Unlike him, Fu Hongye remembered the rumors from the Tiandao League some time ago, "Recently, the new emperor ascended the throne, and some of the remaining Mobei people are not very peaceful."

The imperial court will not tolerate disobedient tribes, but if they want to take killing methods, they must communicate with the Tiandao League in advance, otherwise, if the old Taoists feel that they are hurting the sky and beat back the soldiers sent by the imperial court, then The emperor was embarrassed.Now that the news has been delivered to Fu Hongye, it is obvious that the rebellious intentions of the rest of the clan are revealed. The imperial court is already preparing to use thunderous means. Thinking about the war a hundred years ago, You Jiang sneered: "Pave the way for them. It’s a waste of old Donggua’s painstaking efforts to find his own way of life.”

A hundred years ago, the young and middle-aged men of the Yu people in Mobei could only become horse bandits. Women and children lived on the resources they robbed. Later, the Tiandao League specially bought a large piece of land for them to move to cut off the vitality of the Demon Sect. They thought they had land and houses. These people will be able to settle down, but who knows that after less than a hundred years of stability, they will start to make trouble again.

Fu Hongye was not surprised by this. Chang'an was the capital of all dynasties, and the emperor of Chang'an watched how many emperors ascended the throne. Now he just said indifferently: "After all, 100 years have passed, and the survival of the rest of the Mobei people is probably over. Few people remember that this generation of young people may only know the chicness and freedom of the horse bandits, but they have never thought about the cruelty and blood behind them. Just like Chang'an, there will always be power cleansing in the struggle for power every few hundred years. The blood of the dead dyed the maple forest red."

You Jiang himself was the victim of the struggle for power in Tianshu Pavilion, so he knew the bitterness of it, so he was silent when he heard the words, and finally he said helplessly: "If you don't want to die, you can only win. Just like Maple Leaf Red, this is the law of heaven, and no one can change it."

It is true that this is the way to survive in the world, but Fu Hongye doesn't like it very much. He also remembered some old things when he mentioned Chang'an, so he stopped bringing up those serious topics, and only smiled nostalgicly: "There was once Xiaofeng who stole the sky." Wine is red in the middle of a bed in the world. I like this saying better than maple leaves that are the color of blood."

At that time, Jiang Fengzhi was at the age of sentimentality, and landscapes were full of romance in his eyes. This sentence was a small poem he occasionally wrote on the scroll.At that time, he was really full of emotions, and he loved Maple Leaf to the extreme, like "I hope I will sleep forever in the frost and red, and I will see you at dawn when the dew comes." I didn’t say much, if there are ghosts in Chang’an secretly listening, then it’s really... Now that Fu Hongye suddenly mentioned it, You Jiang’s face was almost flushed, but fortunately, he forcibly stabilized his mind by relying on the aura of the leader of the Demon Cult. Na said: "How many years ago, I still bring it up and talk about it."

People may be like this, only when they know that the other party can't understand, they dare to let go of all their feelings and love something, and once they meet the same kind, they shrink back.Everyone likes the happiness surrounded by love, but fears the setbacks and hurts that are destined to follow.

Now Fu Hongye finally understands people, he didn't force You Jiang to like himself in human form as before, but just smiled lightly: "If Maple Leaf has a spirit, the praises you have given are probably the most beautiful love words in the world to it. gone."

The head of the Taoist sect has never been overjoyed or sad, and his expression is very calm most of the time, only a little bit easy-going, not far away from people but not too close.However, now You Jiang sees sincere joy in his eyes, which is very similar to Mu Feng's eyes when he looked at him at the beginning, obviously they have known each other not long ago, but they are as close as if they have been facing each other day and night.

This kind of Fu Hongye made him a little dazed, You Jiang raised his hand, trying to wipe away the looming sadness on the youth's brows, but at this moment, the Demon Sect disciple who was in charge of investigating interrupted the conversation between the two, "Master, The team is starting to move."

As soon as the voice came out, You Jiang realized what he wanted to do. He immediately withdrew Hu Lai's left hand and slapped the back of his hand secretly. He stopped looking at Fu Hongye and only ordered: "These people should also want to do something." Enter the Immortal River, go, follow and have a look."

The author has something to say: Fu Hongye: Back then, he watched me write poems for me and draw pictures for me every day, and said that if he wanted to be the best in the world with me, he would be buried under my leaves. Who could stand that? ?

Duhuo: Look, this is the consequence of talking nonsense on the world channel all day long.

You Jiang: Alright, shut up, I will silence myself immediately!
