After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 425 Opening the Hidden Version
"Can it be done?"

"Yes." At that moment, Fu Shanyue took away part of the evil spirit from her body, and put her into Fu Shanji's carriage.

On the car was a long box, or coffin, with a magic circle attached to it, and with a little adjustment, it could basically isolate the girl from the outside world.

Seeing the change of master, the lowly slave served tea and water graciously, and served Fu Shanyue and Taozi very attentively.

He Lingchuan saw him eating in a corner away from the fire, like a bowl of mush?Everyone else was sitting, but he could only squat or kneel.

"Hi." He greeted the man and tossed him an apple.

The cheap slave got the apple and didn't gnaw it. He looked at Chi Yanren's face first, and saw that the latter ignored him indifferently, so he bowed three times to He Lingchuan, picked up the apple and shrank into the dark, and began to gnaw it.

It sounded like a mouse.

A man from Chiyan saw it and smiled at He Lingchuan: "Don't look at him as pitiful, this guy beat his wife and a daughter to death with his own hands at home."

After the caravan settled down, the moon had already set to the west, and everyone took the time to rest. Tomorrow's journey was still far away.

Of course, there are still people on guard this time.

He Lingchuan didn't plan to go to sleep anymore, so he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.

I don't know how long it took, there was a soft "clang", which was actually a low buzzing from the precious scabbard.

Then a nearby sentinel let out a small cry of surprise.

He Lingchuan quickly opened his eyes.

The illusion has reappeared!

The current moonlight is as abundant as it was an hour ago.Under the gaze of He Lingchuan, the ancient city more than 200 years ago reappeared.

But unlike last time, it was silent and breathless.

There are people on the city gate, and soldiers with long guns walk around to observe the surrounding fields, but they don't need to fight the enemy bravely.Because it was quiet under the city gate, there was no army of spirits filling the mountains and plains.

There was no smoke, no crying, no hail of guns and no flames.

The ancient city of Qianxing, like people today, was peacefully bathed in this round of moonlight.

How is this going?

When the curtain of the opposite carriage was lifted, Fu Shanyue jumped down on tiptoe, and asked He Lingchuan in a low voice: "Hey, let's go take a look again?"

With so much going on tonight, he couldn't possibly sleep without daring to wake up.The subordinates I have newly conquered were originally Fu Shanji's subordinates, who knows if there is anyone who is loyal to the emperor and loves the Lord, who can't bear to think about it and must plot against him?
"Let's go." He Lingchuan was very straightforward. Anyway, the eyeball spider responsible for tracking the camp hadn't been taken back yet, so let it continue to serve.

At this time, Master Shi Er also heard the voice of the sentinel, rubbed his eyes and sat up.He looked outside and was dumbfounded: "What, what's going on? Why is the illusion different from the original?"

"Haven't you seen this scene?"

Master Shi Er rubbed the back of his head: "I heard that there is only one scene in the illusion, that is, the one who fought and killed just now. But this, such a quiet Thousand Stars City, I don't seem to have heard anyone mention it."

Is this unlocking a new scene?He Lingchuan became even more energetic.

But Master Shi Er was too sleepy, he didn't want to go out to explore, and just wanted to fall asleep.

So the two who were still full of energy greeted the camp sentry, and walked lightly into the depths of the illusion.

The city in the phantom is extraordinarily quiet, as if it is also late at night, and there are only two or three kittens on the deserted road.He Lingchuan also heard crickets' cries, but he didn't know if it was in a fantasy or in reality.

It's hard to tell the truth from the fake.

Since getting the branch fragments of the King of the Treasure Tree, the soul-hunting mirror has been in retreat recently.It hadn't eaten or drank for hundreds of years, and suddenly within half a month, it was full of emperor fluid and Ju Luo branches, all of which were nourishing.

Otherwise, He Lingchuan didn't know how many times he would have heard it exclaim tonight.

This city is too big and quiet, which direction should I go to explore?

Fu Shan thought about it more: "The framing of this natural illusion depends on the occasional coincidence of the right time and place, and there may not be any important cause and effect. Maybe this is a very ordinary day in Qianxing City."

He pointed to the wet ground: "Look, it has just rained in the city, and there is still a bright moon in the sky, which coincides with the weather we encountered tonight."

But He Lingchuan let out a sigh: "The moon is shining, why are the stars in the east also bright?"

Generally speaking, moon stars are rare.Tonight, the moonlight shines on the mountains and rivers, reflecting the world like daytime, and eclipsing the stars in the sky.

Except for a star in the east, shining purple.

It does not compete with the moonlight, but the moonlight cannot hide its existence.

He Lingchuan has never studied astrology, but this star is really bright.

Hearing his prompt, Fu Shanyue also looked up: "Why is Tianluo star bright?"

"This is called Tian Luo Xing?"

"You don't know?" Fu Shanyue expressed surprise at his ignorance, "Tianluo Star is the tenth star of the Big Dipper, usually dim and hard to see with human eyes, and only lights up a few times."

"A few times?"

"It seems to be every year from autumn to early spring." Fu Shanyue looked up at the stars, "It's not even August yet, why is it bright? Besides, was it bright in the first half of the night tonight?"

He Lingchuan shrugged: "I have no impression."

How many beautiful things does he have, so how can he have nothing to do to stare at the sky?
For example, this one in front of you—"Huh?"

He Lingchuan quickly approached a high wall, and stroked the patterns on the wall with his hand.

This pattern is too familiar, he has seen it countless times on the wall of the south gate of Panlong City in his dream, that is——

Black flood dragon!

Although there is a huge sculpture behind the south gate of Panlong City, here is just a pattern like a magic circle, and Lian Jiao's capital is drawn in a Q version, but He Lingchuan is very sure that this is the Black Jiao!

The sudden appearance of this pattern shocked He Lingchuan more than the illusion itself, because it meant that there was some connection between Qianxing City and Panlong City.

These two cities, one in Bega and the other in Xiluo, are separated by tens of thousands of miles. Why do they have the Black Flood Dragon Totem?
Generally speaking, on such conspicuous avenues and official walls, the carvings and paintings are all national guardian spirit beasts.

For example, the guardian spirit beast of the Xiluo Kingdom is a golden bull, and the south gate of Panlong City was originally placed there, but was later changed to a black flood dragon by Zhong Shengguang's order.

But the problem is that the golden bulls in the Xiluo Kingdom are real and can be seen and touched. They guard the capital at ordinary times, and they can be released to defend against the enemy during wars.

But what about the black dragon?
He Lingchuan has entered and exited the Panlong Dreamland so many times, why has he never seen the black dragon himself?
The black flood dragon in the illusion of ruins cannot be counted, it is the remnant soul of Zhong Shengguang who borrowed its image to appear.

Even He Lingchuan asked many people, including Hu Min and Xiao Maoliang, but no one had ever seen the black dragon with their own eyes.

That being the case, why did Panlong City set up a statue for it?
What's even more outrageous is that Thousand Star City, tens of thousands of miles away, did the same thing!
As one of the original Twelve Great Demon Kingdoms, Yuan Kingdom does not have any guardian spirit beasts like the human kingdom.

Monsters run everywhere here, and the most powerful among them all want to be high officials. Who cares about being some kind of spirit beast?Self-deprecation!

Even if there are two words "protecting the country" in front of it.

Therefore, it was a weird move in Qianxing City to paint the black flood dragon on the wall.

He Lingchuan turned to look at Fu Shanyue, he was also confused.

Obviously, this guy doesn't know much more about Yuan Guo 200 years ago than he, He Lingchuan.

Afterwards, the two continued to search, and sure enough, they found the black dragon pattern outside the official building.This time it is a brick carving, the faucet protrudes outwards, and the carving is very fine.

A brick was placed under the brick carving, and an incense burner was placed on it, with two sticks of incense stuck in it.

The people are also worshiping it.

The last time they entered the illusion of Thousand Star City, there were fires and scorched earth everywhere. Who would pay attention to the patterns on the wall?Or maybe they were destroyed in the fire of war long ago.

This time, he finally saw clearly.

Fu Shanyue also stared at it, and murmured: "Where did you see it?"

"Have you seen it?" He Lingchuan immediately asked, "Where is it?"

"I saw it in my father's study when I was a child, probably in which books?" Fu Shanyue gave a light hiss, "It was a long time ago, I don't remember clearly."

"Cut. It's unreliable."

"Anyway, it's a forbidden book... no, it's a secret file."

"Oh?" He Lingchuan became interested, "How old were you then?"

"Seven or eight years old?"

"How do you know it's a banned book?" How precocious.

"Father's study room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. I won't talk about the outside room. The things in the inside room are not shown. There are books, files and letters, and some messy objects." Fu Shanyue recalled, "I remember a palace man I knocked down two books while cleaning the imperial study room, accidentally flipped through two pages when picking it up, and then lost my head."

Lord Chiyan is well-informed and long-lived, so it is not surprising that there are some secrets in the study.

He Lingchuan looked at Jiaoshou in front of him: "It's taboo in your father's place, but you can see it in the streets and alleys here?" King Yuan's gesture is really decisive, he doesn't leave any retreat for himself.

One more mystery.

"Further ahead is Miyagi." He straightened up, looked at the tall palace walls and buildings with exposed spires not far away, and murmured, "In the end, we still walked towards Miyagi."

He couldn't tell what was going on, and he seemed to be guided in the dark.

"It's all here, let's go and have a look."

The two walked back several tens of feet, and were about to enter the gate of the palace guarded by soldiers, when they saw a carriage coming from the corner of the street, and the lanterns gave off a yellowish halo at night.

The car is very low-key, but the horse is a good horse.

The carriage stopped in front of the dismounting stele at the gate of the palace, and a long-robed scribe came down. He was young and weak, with a handsome face and a mole between his eyebrows.

He was not wearing an official uniform, but the guards recognized him: "Your Majesty has an order, Mr. Shao, please go to the turret of the second west gate." After a pause, he continued, "Take a license to go."

They only saw this carriage in the middle of the night, so of course He Lingchuan and the two wanted to follow.

The carriage didn't dare to go fast in the palace, and drove west along the base of the wall, and stopped after about half an hour.

This is the top corner of the palace city. By the moonlight, He Lingchuan and the two saw a turret standing above the city wall, and it still had three floors.

Master Shao got off the car and climbed the wall here, and went up the steps.

He Lingchuan looked left and right, and saw a tree on the inside of the high wall, about four feet high.
