The long road to immortality is missing you

I saw that person looked extremely nervous, and ran up to Xi Yuanlanjian, panting uncontrollably, with a slight alcohol smell on his body, it was Li Jingxian who had just asked his grandfather for a fortune-telling not long ago.

Xi Yuan was curious, and looked at Lan Jian. He was about to ask Li Jingxian what happened, but he heard Li Jingxian hurriedly said: "Yuanyuan, you go to the Mengchen Building outside the town, something happened to your grandfather." It's-"

When Xi Yuan heard that he mentioned his grandfather, he immediately stepped forward and asked nervously, "What did you say? What happened to my grandfather? What happened to Mengchen Building?"

Mengchenlou is a restaurant located outside the town of Cymbidium spinosa, facing an unnamed river and backed by a small hill, the location is excellent.

It is said that thousands of years ago, near the Wuming River, there were two ancient trees.One is the spinosa tree, from which the name of the spinosa town comes from.And the other tree next to the spinosa is called Michelle.

These two ancient trees already existed here before the town of Cymbidium spinosa.The two ancient trees are close to each other, with intertwined branches and leaves, and are evergreen all the year round. From a distance, they look like a single tree.

Therefore, the people in the town initially regarded these two ancient trees as gods.And these two trees also protect this small town.

But about [-] years ago, some foreign merchants came to the town of Cyphila spinulosa and opened several small shops in the town.At first, everything was normal, but the good times didn't last long, and those people actually came up with the idea of ​​these two trees.

They did not tell the people in the town, and in the dead of night, they cut down all the two trees, and even dug out the roots that were closely connected under the ground of the two trees.They used the cut wood to build the restaurant, and burned all the rest, leaving no ashes.Thus, there is the current Mengchen Tower, and Cyphila spinulosa and Hanxiao have ceased to exist since then.

Li Jingxian took a few breaths, calmed down a little, and told the whole story: "It's like this, after Mr. Xi finished the divination for me, I was in a trance all the way, and I walked out of the town unconsciously. Outside the Dust Building. I can only hear the sound of silk, bamboo and zither strings coming from inside, although I have never liked this kind of place..."

Xi Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly, and said, "Brother, get to the point!"

"Okay." Li Jingxian waved his fan and said, "The point is, I went in anyway, but I only ordered a jug of wine and found a private seat to drink by myself, but then, guess what happened?"

"I don't know. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it! What happened to my grandfather?" Seeing that he had said something, Xi Yuan became a little impatient before he got to the point.

"Don't worry, when I was half-drunk and half-awake, that bastard walked in again in a daze and sat down not far in front of me. Immediately, I woke up seven or eight times drunk! Then, When I turned around, who do you think I saw again?"

"My grandfather?" Xi Yuan guessed.

"Exactly!" Li Jingxian clapped his hands and continued: "Master Xi, who has always been honest, would actually come to a place like Mengchenlou. I just wanted to go over to chat with Mr. Xi with a pot of wine, but at this moment, I heard a few shouts and the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground. I hurriedly turned around to see what happened, but felt a sharp blade with a gust of wind flying straight towards my door. I turned my head away. At this moment, I heard a muffled groan from behind, and when I turned around again, I realized that the sharp blade had shot through your grandpa's chest—"

"What?" Xi Yuan said in surprise, his feet staggered, and he seemed to be a little unstable.

"This... how could it be like this? The original book didn't mention this paragraph? No, I have to go to Mengchen Tower to have a look now—" Xi Yuan didn't have time to think about it, so he wanted to run away, Lan Jane also hurriedly followed his pace.

"Hey, don't worry, your grandpa is just bleeding too much, besides, Miss Yun'er has already gone—" Li Jingxian shouted at the backs of the two, but the two in front didn't stop.

As the figures of the two people in front disappeared from the field of vision, the nervous look on Li Jingxian's face gradually faded, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The two ran out of the spinosa town, and as soon as they stepped onto the rusty stone bridge over the Wuming River, Lan Jian sensed something was wrong, and her face became more serious.And the purple bamboo flute on his waist also faintly emitted a circle of lavender light.

The two walked on this stone bridge for a long time, and the opposite bank was already close in front of them, but they felt as if they would never be able to cross it.

Standing on the bridge, you can see that on the Wuming River, near the opposite bank, there is a pavilion with green tiles, vermilion tiles, and jade-stairs.In the mist, you can still see the three large Chinese characters above - Mengchenlou.

On both sides of the heavy carved wooden door, two lines of characters can be vaguely seen.

Dreaming of flying flowers,

Turned into a dead inch heart to stay.

"Lan Jian, what's going on here?" Xi Yuan looked around, and even he obviously felt that something was wrong, "This bridge is only ten feet away, even if you walk slowly, you can reach it in less than a quarter of an hour On the other side. Haven't we gone for a while now?"

As time passed by, the surrounding fog became thicker, and the Mengchen Tower standing on the riverside seemed to be surrounded by fairy energy, which was extremely beautiful.

"We have fallen into the enchantment without knowing it." Lan Jian said, scanning the surroundings lightly.

"Boundary?" Xi Yuan is no stranger to this word, but he has only heard it a little.

Lan Jian nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "No wonder when I first came here, I couldn't detect anything abnormal, but now it can be explained."

"You mean, this enchantment can hide evil spirits?" Xi Yuan tried to guess.

"That's right." Lan Jian untied the purple bamboo flute at her waist, only to see that the purple light was more intense at the end of it.

When Xi Yuan saw Lan Jian's action, he was startled for a moment, and then subconsciously covered his ears, but it was still a few seconds late, and a sharp and piercing flute sound came from his ears immediately, which made him stunned immediately. In situ.

The sound of the flute was sometimes as rough as a hundred ghosts howling together, and sometimes as sharp and thin as a thousand crows singing together, without any tune at all.But looking at Lan Jian's expression, he was clearly playing with great concentration, not at all like playing so badly on purpose.

He was almost dumbfounded from the sidelines, and thought: "It's the first time I heard Lan Jian play the flute, so it's really so scary..."

Lan Jian still stood still in the same place, dressed in white, with fluttering sleeves, and her face was indifferent, as if she didn't realize that the sound of her flute was hoarse and unpleasant, but the purple light at the end of the purple bamboo flute became more and more dazzling.

"If you are a deaf person, seeing this scene, you will think it is a melody of nature." Xi Yuan thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Xi Yuan's hands, which were covering his ears, became numb.When he was about to move around, a sudden gust of wind came, carrying a few dead leaves, Xi Yuan couldn't dodge, the dead leaves brushed past his forehead, leaving a bloodstain in an instant.

Xi Yuan hastily put down his hands that were covering his ears, and touched his forehead. He felt warm and damp in his hands, but it didn't hurt very much.

At this time, the sound of Lan Jian's flute also stopped, and he turned into a scarlet Chi-patterned sword——Dan Chi Sword.

Lan Jian remained silent, and stood in front of Xi Yuan holding the Dan Chi sword, and coldly faced the "monster" standing in front of the two who looked like a man but not a man, a tree but not a tree, and a flower but not a flower.

I saw that thing, about ten feet high, with human limbs, but a grey-brown tree trunk.

The most surprising thing is that the thing has no head, let alone five sense organs.The place above the trunk that should have been the branches was filled with white flowers of various sizes, and the most prominent one was a huge flower in the center.Those petals are so densely packed that they are all human eyes!

Seeing the appearance of this thing, Xi Yuan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and shrank back behind Lan Jian.

The monster turned slightly on the spot, as if moving its limbs. After a while, he suddenly saw Lan Jian holding Dan Chi Sword, and shouted roughly at Lan Jian, "Dan Chi Sword, you are Tianjun!" Send Zhang Junzong's eldest disciple, Lan Jian!"

Lan Jian looked at him indifferently, without saying a word, the monster sneered, and moved his eyes to Xi Yuan behind him.

"Are you Xi Yuan?" the monster asked.

As soon as Xi Yuan heard the monster call his name, he was startled, and still shrank behind Lan Jian.

He can still deal with the usual trivial matters, but when he encounters such a matter that may lose his life at any time, he is helpless.

The monster didn't hear his answer, but laughed eccentrically, and Xi Yuan's hand that was holding Lan Jian's sleeve tightly trembled.

At this time, another strong wind blew past the two of them. Xi Yuan was trembling when suddenly he was patted on the right shoulder, which scared him out of his wits.

"Ah—" Xi Yuan yelled, quickly let go of Lan Jian's hand, and ran desperately in the direction he came from.

At this time, Lan Jian's eyes were also fixed, and he injected some spiritual power into the Dan Chi sword, and stabbed at the monster with one sword.

The monster smiled sinisterly again, and turned sideways to avoid it. The Dan Chi sword pierced the eye of a white flower on top of its head, and a jet of black water spewed out.At the same time, there was a sharp scream in the ears of the two, which was even harsher than the flute sound just now.

"Dan Chi Sword really lives up to its reputation." The monster didn't feel any pain at all, turned around again, and rushed towards Xi Yuan again.

Xi Yuan didn't dare to look back at all. At this time, his usual eloquence was completely useless.Therefore, there is only one way, run!

Lan Jian stared at the eyes of the white flower, frowned slightly, but still made a trick again, and slashed up with the sword.

The monster didn't dodge either, and let Lan Jian behind him slash left and right, but it couldn't hurt it at all.

"I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain, just relying on your current level of cultivation to try to hurt me? It's really whimsical—" the monster said again, grabbing Xi Yuan with one hand.

Xi Yuan felt that the monster behind him was getting closer and closer, and his heart was surrounded by a huge sense of fear, and he couldn't think of anything to do. ,

Suddenly, Xi Yuan tripped over something, and suddenly lost his balance, he fell forward, hit the railing of the bridge, and almost fell into the river.

Xi Yuan looked at the bottomless river under the bridge, and was dazzled again.

At this time, the original palm-sized yellow paper fell out from his lapel again. He hurriedly reached out and grabbed the yellow paper, having an idea in his mind, he immediately turned around.

The monster was obviously stunned when he saw the yellow paper in Xi Yuan's hand, and after a while, he wanted to go forward to snatch it.

How could Xi Yuan give him this chance, he held up the yellow paper, forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, held the yellow paper in his hand, and slapped heavily on the flower in the center of the top of the monster.
