After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 227 Immortal suicide note
"What about the casualties of our army?"

"Fortunately, not many, after all, we will go first this time." Sparrowhawk did not say the specific number, but continued, "Later, Zhu Erniang will negotiate with the Red General."

"What did they say, is it convenient to disclose?"

Sparrowhawk didn't hesitate at all: "It's convenient, because I don't know either."

"..."

"We were all staying on the mountainside, including other burrow spiders, and only the Red General and Zhu Erniang were talking on the top of the mountain." Sparrowhawk continued to eat, "We saw Zhu Erniang baring her teeth and claws, and seemed very angry, but the Red General remained calm the whole time, and in the end we talked with Zhu Erniang." It came back after negotiating the conditions. As far as I know, the crypt spider will still abide by the original agreement and will no longer attack humans in the past. One of them is added, the crypt spider will help Panlong City to help defend the southern part of the Panlong Wasteland That is to say, Zhu Erniang will send the spider demon to regularly patrol the main road in the south, and report any abnormalities."

It's perfect for a local snake to do this kind of thing.

In the past, the agreement between Panlong City and the Crypt Spider was relatively loose and respectful, but this time Zhu Erniang attacked the Panlong City army, and the Red General was not polite to them at all.

"Counting General Nan Ke's defeat, we also lost a lot of manpower in Ghost Needle Stone Forest. In fact, according to General Red's original plan, it seems that Ghost Needle Stone Forest will be burned down."

He Lingchuan went down to Zhu Erniang's lair, and he knew very well that there was a big ranch underneath.Now that the foreign aggression is temporarily gone, it is not impossible for Panlong City to deal with the crypt spiders, but it is not impossible.

Zhu Erniang's family has great achievements and many descendants, so it is difficult to find a second suitable habitat in the empty Panlong wasteland.Probably because of this, it finally compromised, right?

"However, Panlong City also needs to transport five hundred camels, two thousand goats, one hundred roosters, and seven hundred hens to the burrow spiders before the midwinter arrives, as their winter reserves. In exchange, the underground Burrow spiders will produce more demon spider silk every month in exchange for Panlong City, which is a good thing for refining magical artifacts. In addition, they will also provide fluorescent spores, creep and aphid dew. They are not willing to give these, but from now on, these can only be sold to Panlong City, and cannot be sold to other merchants."

"You still want a hen?" He Lingchuan Daqi asked, "What do you want a hen for? Do you want a hen to lay eggs?"

Thinking about it carefully, it seems not outrageous.Is it any wonder that those burrow spiders can grow moss like ants to raise aphids, start a large pasture, and raise some hens to lay eggs?

The crypt spiders did suffer heavy losses in the battle between the Baling people and the Panlong army, and their nests and pastures were burned.If there is no other food, they are likely to feed on passing humans.

In the future, Panlong City will become the exclusive agent for the special products of the Crypt Spider.Zhu Erniang was so angry, maybe the Red General suppressed the price too hard?

However, it is the loser, and the price to pay must be high.

"How do I know? I'm leaving." Sparrowhawk swallowed the last bite of meat and flapped his wings, "By the way, General Red and General Nan Ke admire your bravery. I also heard that General Nan Ke intends to recruit Are you interested in joining the guard?"

He Lingchuan sighed: "In other words, although the Red General appreciates me, he doesn't intend to recruit me into the Gale Army?"

He had hoped that after he had made great contributions, his superiors would open up an expedited promotion channel.

"To be able to escape from the burrow alive, dexterity and luck are indispensable; but you are too young, and you still need experience." Sparrowhawk tilted his head, "This is the exact words of the Red General."

He Lingchuan subconsciously straightened his back, and the Red General actually commented on him?

At this moment, there was a creaking sound of the door opening from the other courtyard.

Sun Fuling is back?

He Lingchuan raised his voice and asked, "Ms. Sun?"

"Ah."

With just one word, He Lingchuan could tell it was her.

He Lingchuan's job is to patrol, and he travels south and north all day long. It stands to reason that he is the one who is often away from home.But he felt that Miss Sun was the one who eluded her.

Since the first meeting, he had dreamed three or four times, and the small courtyard next door was empty.

So he hesitated, and decided to seize this opportunity: "Have you got back the stolen criminal order?"

"It's back." Sun Fuling's voice came through the wall, "The government sent it to me yesterday, and Liu Tailai from the west of the city was also arrested for interrogation."

"That's good, that's good." He Lingchuan coughed lightly, "I have something to ask Miss Sun."

Sun Fuling didn't answer.

He Lingchuan thought she was impatient and touched his face.Is it not white enough?The girls and daughters-in-law in Dunyu City have been winking at him these two days.

But soon there was the sound of squatting on something, whether it was wood or bamboo, and then Sun Fuling's figure appeared on the wall.

upper body.

"What's the matter?" She looked down at He Lingchuan condescendingly, still wearing a veil.

It turned out that she got a ladder to climb the wall.

"You got a new bird?" She also saw a sparrowhawk in the yard.

"No, it serves in the Gale Army."

After Sparrowhawk ate the magpie as a snack, he flew to the top of the wall, took two steps in front of Sun Fuling, and turned his head to look at her.

Sun Fuling didn't care that there was still a little bit of meat at the corner of its mouth, and reached out to pat its head.

He Lingchuan was a step late in making a sound, lest the sparrowhawk stretch out its beak and peck a hole in her hand.

Fortunately not.

She kneaded it twice, and Sparrowhawk still closed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying it.

"This monster doesn't seem to be very vicious." Sun Fuling scratched its neck, "What do you want to ask me?"

"Oh, there is something I want to ask you to look at." He Lingchuan took out a piece of paper from his bosom, held it high above his head, and spread it out for Sun Fuling to see.

He is tall, and he can reach the top of the wall with his hand. It can be seen that this wall is also designed to guard against gentlemen and not villains.

"Do you recognize this type of writing?"

He once obtained a rubbing copy from the fairy cave, and it was also one of the only relics left by the unknown "immortal".The other thing is of course the core of the cave mansion that was eaten by the god bone.

"It's an ugly word."

He Lingchuan was embarrassed.Rubbings are real objects, so of course they cannot be brought into dreams.He spent some time memorizing the glyphs in the rubbings one by one, and made a copy after falling asleep.

In view of the fact that his soul has become more and more solidified in the practice, it is much easier to memorize an ancient text he does not recognize than before.

"But I recognize it." Sun Fuling's answer made him overjoyed, "Well, let me see—"

"Which subject do you teach in Shumin Academy?"

"Arithmetic, national history." Sun Fuling's eyes followed the words, "Where did you get this?"

"The cave in the wild." He Lingchuan didn't say the exact location, but restored the interior scene of the Immortal Cave to her.

"I've heard that this is the Immortal's Cave, so the bones that sit inside are really Immortals?"

"Not necessarily, but it has some relationship with ancient immortals, just like there are more than mice in the mouse hole." Sun Fuling explained, "This kind of language was popular two or three thousand years ago, and it is also called immortal language. Today's text is actually written by It evolved."

"The immortals taught humans?"

"It is said that immortals teach humans more than this." Sun Fuling kept her eyes on, "Well, the owner of this cave is named Dongli Zhenren, and he is a true disciple of the 227th generation of the Great Huanzong. 760 died at the age of seven."

"This real person who picks chrysanthemums, isn't it, real person Dongli, who has lived for more than 700 years?" He Lingchuan envied his real name, and he was satisfied with living two fractions.

"He wrote it himself, who knows if it is exaggerated." Sun Fuling was rational and objective.

"It's still true here. He also upholds the instructions of the mortal. He was a teacher for mortals, enlightening the ignorant, and making them not forget the origin. It's a pity that the general trend is irreversible. Human beings and immortals have different paths, and the further they go, the further they go." Sun Fuling narrowed his eyes slightly, as if Carefully identify, "Well, here's the point, the aura is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and it is difficult for him to maintain longevity, his face is pale and wrinkled, his skin is gradually loosening, and the pain is helpless. Therefore, he has fallen into the way of magic and turned to believe in gods and demons to seek the magic power of longevity. Because of this, I made many mistakes, and I didn’t repent until I died.”

"Convert to gods and demons?" He Lingchuan thought of Sun Fuping, Nian Songyu, and then Hong Xiangqian.These people firmly believe in gods and demons, and Nian Songyu even used her body as a bag to welcome the gods.

But none of them ended well.

Is this the exception, or the norm?
He couldn't help thinking of the Red General again.Everyone knows that Zhong Shengguang worships the gods, and Panlong City worships the gods.

This city, these people, the final fate...

Sun Fuling's words drew his attention back: "At that time, he understood the mental method left by the master and revised the "Passing Water Collection". There was a deviation in the disappeared posterity, and the calculations were not accurate. Daoist Dongli reworked, adjusted and changed his name, and engraved it in the golden book, leaving it to fate."

He Lingchuan was refreshed when he heard the word "divination book", but then he remembered that he had searched the Immortal Cave Mansion all over, but he couldn't find the third thing that could be used, let alone a golden book.

Sun Fuling also asked him: "The Collection of Passing Water, have you seen it?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "It was taken away by an old tortoise. No wonder it is well versed in this way, it is not like an ordinary mountain spirit at all." It turned out that the old tortoise got the treasure of an ancient fairy.

"Realist Dongli said that time is like passing water, and it will never return. Today, when the aura is fading, the prophets are like fish in the water. They try their best to occasionally jump up to see the scene ahead, but it is only a quick glance. See the whole picture."

"...I see." He Lingchuan was disappointed.

If even real Dongli, who revised "The Collection of Passing Waters", believes in this way, his hope of changing his future destiny seems to be even slimmer.

Sun Fuling sighed slightly: "Sure enough, the immortal disappeared like this in the end. Daoist Dongli's death was too ordinary."

"Ok?"

"It doesn't matter if your name is Zuo Hua, I think he's more like dying of old age—just like a mortal."

"..." Dare to Love Immortal died of old age in the end? "This ending is really boring."

"No matter how strong a fish is, it will die if it is out of the water for a long time." Sun Fuling said, "He asked the latecomers who saw this suicide note to send his token to the former site of the Shou'an Mountain University and put it in the Guihua Tower .Although Da Huanzong is no longer here, he also hopes that the fallen leaves will return to their roots."
