After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1413 Xin Yi's Opinion

"There is no conclusion yet, sorry." Xin Yi said generously, "We only know that although the Dragon God died, its power did not disappear immediately, but instead protected the world after the disaster for more than three hundred years. As for the Black Dragon Mark, although it has appeared in other places before, there are too few samples to evaluate. Commander Zhong told me that where the Black Dragon Mark is located, there are good weather and few disasters. This is in line with the Dragon God's protection of the human world, so there must be a connection between the two. As for the conditions under which the Black Dragon Mark will appear, it remains to be studied."

Let’s leave this topic here for now.

He Lingchuan knew that many truths were hidden in his narrative, but it was enough to shock ordinary listeners.

Xin Yi's subsequent stories were told in such detail that he even portrayed the psychology of the monsters. While the audience was enjoying the story, a Panlong soldier couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how can you describe it in such detail, as if you saw it with your own eyes?"

He Lingchuan also felt that it was a pity that Xin Yi, with his eloquence, did not become a storyteller.

Xin Yi laughed and said, "It's been three thousand years since I saw it. How could I have seen it with my own eyes? But I heard about it from eyewitnesses, and today I am just relaying it."

Witnesses? Could witnesses of many ancient battles still be alive today?

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

"Who is this witness?"

"My mentor is Xin Wuhuan. His Taoist name is also called 'Master Wuhuan'!"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to react. Has Mr. Xin's master lived from ancient times to the present?
How old is that?

He Lingchuan's expression also changed slightly, and he recalled the memory of the black dragon he saw when he collected Luo Sheng Jia and Xin Lin.

After the death of the Dragon God, several great immortals led their disciples to escape into blessed caves or small worlds, so as to avoid wasting their lives in a world with declining spiritual energy.

After that, very few immortals could survive three thousand years and live until today.

Zhu Erniang and Dahuolingju are rare exceptions because of their extraordinary talents.

Is Xin Yi's master also like him? Or is he one of the immortals who escaped into the paradise and hid himself there?

By the way, his master’s surname is also Xin!

Xin Wuhuan and Xin Yi, it’s not a coincidence that they have the same surname, right?
Xin Yi on the stage said to everyone's surprise: "Yes, my mentor is also the ancestor of my family. In ancient times, my mentor was already a famous immortal."

There was an uproar from the audience, and everyone looked at him with complicated expressions, including surprise, curiosity, and envy.

Sun Fuling was also surprised: "Mr. Xin is actually a descendant of an immortal. No wonder, no wonder!"

No wonder he is so knowledgeable.

No wonder he could talk about secrets and anecdotes like the back of his hand - those were the Xin family's "treasures".

He Lingchuan also felt a little emotional.

The Bailielu family is also descended from immortals, but has fallen into such a destitute state now, which is a far cry from the glory of the Xin family.

The immortal ancestor of the Lu family died long ago, unlike Xin Wuhuan who has lived to this day and has been protecting his descendants.

Hmm, how did Xin Wuhuan survive the long period of spiritual energy exhaustion?
"So what I'm telling you today are all my mentor's experiences back then. Although there are some rumors and anecdotes, overall it's very credible."

His origin and background were very convincing, and the argumentative people in the audience were temporarily silenced and no longer raised any objections.

He Lingchuan also seemed to understand something.

No wonder Zhong Shengguang treats Xin Yi differently. This guy has a strong background and can serve as a bridge of communication between Panlong City and the immortals.

Not to mention, his knowledge and experience can also be helpful to Panlong City.

The open class ended with the audience reluctant to leave.

After class, Xin Yi came to He Lingchuan to have dinner with him:
"It's noon now. Let's go to Hongxiang Tower for a quick meal? Master Sun, will you honor us?"

Sun Fuling did not refuse: "Okay, let's go together."

Hongxianglou is an old restaurant in the city. Its facade still maintains the unique simplicity of Panlongcheng, with only the black-bottomed gold-plated characters on the signboard showing its grandeur. In recent years, new restaurants have sprung up in the city, but the old Panlongcheng people still frequent old restaurants like Hongxianglou.

It also insists on making the old flavors of the city. Although the food does not have many varieties, it is particularly suitable for the stomachs of Panlong City people, and many people have been eating it since childhood.

As soon as Xin Yi came in, the waiter came forward with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xin is here, and would you like to take your seat?"

He also bowed to He Lingchuan: "General He!"

He Lingchuan glanced sideways. This guy Xin Yi even has an appointment in the restaurant?
"It's still the same place." Xin Yi smiled at the two of them, "The food here is very appetizing. I can't help but come here a few more times."

The guests in the restaurant greeted He Lingchuan one after another, and three of them greeted Xin Yi.

You're new here, and you're so popular?
The three of them sat down, and Sun Fuling first ordered a bowl of osmanthus lotus root powder to moisten her throat. The teachers usually gave a lot of lectures, and they all liked the sweet and refreshing lotus root powder.

In the past, adding some honey or sugar was a luxury, but now it can be paired with long-grain raisins and chopped nuts shipped by ship, and the price is not expensive.

Xin Yi ordered several of the tavern's signature dishes, including a plate of sour and spicy lotus stems that were appetizing, and a large pot of braised offal - it was actually served in a sandstone pot, and it was red and fresh and fragrant, and the whole restaurant could smell it.

In the past, Panlong City was short of supplies, so food was made from local ingredients. Chiba Plateau is rich in water, and lotus root is one of the most common ingredients in summer. The ingredients for stewed offal are nothing more than offal such as pig blood, pig lungs, chicken feet, chicken and duck necks, and goose intestines. Usually, whatever the tavern got was stewed in a pot for the diners to eat, and the taste was thick, salty and spicy.

The taste has been improved and has a unique flavor. Xin Yi pointed at the braised offal and said, "I have been in Panlong City for more than a month, and this dish is still the best for eating. You Panlong City people know how to eat it."

He Lingchuan picked up a chicken claw at random. Hmm, it was soft and chewy. He shook it a few times, and the bones might even fall out. "These are just worthless scraps, but Mr. Xin doesn't mind them."

"I was assigned a mission to the northeast of the Gold Plains. It was a deserted place with only large tundras and very few animals. I basically survived for more than two months by living on mosses and grass roots."

"Mr. Xin, are you familiar with the Gold Plains?"

"It's okay. I've been there three times, so I have some impression of it." Xin Yi picked up a lotus stem and chewed it slowly. "In fact, I originally thought that the Land of Suffering was as chaotic, disorderly, poor and hopeless as the Golden Plains. It was not until I came to Panlong City that I realized that people could have a second choice."

The living conditions in Panlong Wasteland were originally very bad. The Shining Gold Plains were rich in resources but there were constant wars, while Panlong Wasteland was not even able to grow crops. Fortunately, there was a Chiba Plateau where people could grow crops and feed themselves.

Sun Fuling had also heard He Lingchuan's description of the Golden Plains, so she interrupted, "How is the country there compared to Xiluo?"

“It’s generally worse.”

Sun Fuling couldn't believe it: "Worse than Xi Luo?"

People like her from Panlong City feel very disappointed with Xiluo. It is hard to believe that there is any country in the world more cowardly than Xiluo.

"No matter how bad Xiluo is, it is at least a country governed by law and has Yuanli. Those small countries and forces that live and die overnight on the Shining Gold Plains have almost no Yuanli."

There is no limit to being worse than the worst.

"But there are also powerful countries in the Shanjin Plain, such as Yao. This country has a short history but is very powerful. The surrounding countries have to live under its will." Xin Yi took a sip of wine, "I don't know if this country can finally unify Shanjin and end hundreds of years of turmoil."

He Lingchuan knew the answer.

"Mr. Xin is a descendant of the immortals and knows many secrets. I have something to ask you."

"General He, please speak."

"Nightmare Qi is a new force that appeared after the catastrophe of heaven and earth?"

"That's right." He Lingchuan was a general of Panlong City and a close confidant of Zhong Shengguang. Xin Yi knew that he knew more secrets than ordinary people. "General He, do you know Tianluo Star?"

"I know." He Lingchuan then asked him, "When did the human world discover that the nightmare energy would be sucked away by the Tianluo Star and supplied to the demons outside the domain?"

The law of nightmare energy was created by Tianluo Star. It was a completely new thing for the world after the catastrophe and for the immortals at that time. At the beginning, the immortals and immortal sects certainly didn't know much about it.

"Good question!" He Lingchuan's question went straight to the point. Xin Yi also said seriously, "The Dragon God has passed away. There is no one as powerful as him who can fully understand the laws of heaven and earth and perceive the changes in truth. The Immortal Sect at that time certainly noticed the emergence of nightmare energy, but soon found that it did not harm anyone. It just could not be used by practitioners and immortals, and if it remained in the world for a long time, it would turn back into spiritual energy. Therefore, most immortals and monsters still did their own thing and did not pay too much attention to nightmare energy. Only a few immortals conducted research."

If you can't use something, you will have no interest in it. This is the instinct of living things.

"After the war between immortals and demons, the origin of the world was destroyed and the spiritual energy was scarce. Before the Dragon God died, he said that the origin of this world is still thriving and has a strong self-repair ability. As long as enough time is given, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can recover naturally."

Sun Fuling raised her eyebrows: "So the immortals retreated to the blessed land and waited for the spiritual energy to revive?"

The Dragon God never said how long "enough time" is. Thirty to fifty years? Three to five hundred years? Or three to five thousand years?
It only provides a truth.

The immortals could not wait any longer and could only stay away from the world, waiting for the spiritual energy to revive again.

The creatures in the world cannot wait, but they have no choice but to go with the flow like rootless duckweed.

Life and death, so many years.

Her tone was a little sarcastic. Xin Yi smiled and said, "These immortals have retreated into the small world to preserve their strength in case the demons come back. The Tianluo Star embedded in the sky is the work of the demons. Who knows what they will do next? Who knows when they will come again. If there is no overwhelming power of the immortals, what can the human world use to deal with the demons? By then, all living beings will be truly devastated."

Sun Fuling nodded slowly, stirred the spoon and took another sip of lotus root powder: "That makes sense, it makes a lot of sense."
