Gu Meizhi

It was dusk on this day, and the farmers who were busy on the ridge of the field dispersed one by one. Mei Qing gradually bid farewell to his Zhongrong friends who worked together, and stood on the ridge with an iron shovel, staring at the sky as the setting sun gradually fell to the horizon. step away from the rice fields.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw Emperor Zhongrong standing alone under the willow tree on the bank of the Guishui River, smiling and staring at him.

Mei Qing stepped forward quickly, bowed to call his grandfather, Emperor Zhongrong helped him up, and said with a warm smile: "It's been hard these days.

"Thanks to your help, the ancient predicament of the Kingdom of Zhongrong has been solved. The whole family is grateful for your kindness."

Mei Qingjian followed Emperor Zhongrong, strolled along the river bank, and replied softly: "It must be Qingjian who thanked the Zhongrong people.

"...At that time, Qingjian was in the underground prison of Kunlun Mountains, and my master died tragically. I broke through the seal in my skull, my mind was confused, and my spiritual power was out of control. If it wasn't for the help from the emperor, I'm afraid I would fall into the devil way.

"...And at that time, I never expected that I would have the opportunity to live such a peaceful and peaceful life."

Emperor Zhongrong looked at the source of the water in the distance, and said gently: "The country of Zhongrong has been hiding from the world for a long time. , you still have something to say, what is that?"

Mei Qing was silent for a long time, then said softly: "Chao Chao must have something to hide from me. Before he died, he said that he asked me to dig the ground three hundred miles to the southeast. There may be a deep meaning in it..."

He lowered his eyes and said in a shy voice: "Chaos slaughtered the kingdom of the white people. This sentence is the last clue. If Qing Jian ignores it, I will be sorry for the dead parents, brothers and countless innocent people; if we continue to investigate... "

Mei Qingjian remained silent before he finished his sentence. If he continued to investigate from this point, he would definitely be caught in the entanglement between the righteous way of Kunlun and the four monsters again.

Qiongqi is cunning and resourceful, even if the Great Desolate Abyss collapses, it may not be able to kill it, and there are Taotie and Wuwu helping each other, so it must not be underestimated.

Even though Kunlun Mountain is his school, the human nature in it is sinister, but it is not much worse than monsters.Compared with the peace and happiness in China, the filth of the world is hard to describe.

Seeing that Mei Qing gradually fell silent, Emperor Zhongrong didn't persuade him deeply, he just flicked the lake-blue deep clothes and wide sleeves slightly, and the blue-blue spiritual luster covered the surface of the Guishui in front of him, and said: " Although Gu can't leave the country by way, he can take advantage of the spiritual breath of the water and turn it into a mirror to get a glimpse of the outside world. Look."

Mei Qingjian cast her eyes involuntarily.

Under the aura of Emperor Zhongrong, there were slight ripples on the surface of a small piece of Guishui water. As the ripples gradually subsided, the surface of the water reflected a magnificent blue halo like a diamond, which was as good as a mirror. two.

When Mei Qingjian took a look, her pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.

It was hardly the Kunlun Mountains he remembered anymore.

Among the continuous mountains and forests, there are fires and thick smoke everywhere. The towering Tianfu Peak has been cut off half of it by some magic.

The place where Qisha Cliff was originally located has turned into a sea of ​​lava and flames, and in the sea of ​​flames, Taotie let out a long cry, and fiery magma spewed out from its throat. I don't know what forbidden technique this ugly monster used. A layer stronger.

In front of the sea of ​​flames, there is the human-faced tiger-shaped original body of Wu Wu, who is squinting his eyes at the Kunlun disciples in the distant Tianfu Peak who sometimes shuttle back and forth with their swords, saliva slowly flowing down its two huge fangs.

And on the back of Wuwu, Qiongqi who had turned into his original body sat silently.

One side of its majestic giant wing was torn apart by the power of the magic circle during the collapse of the Great Desolate Abyss. At this time, only half of its wings were left, and its body was covered with hideous and ugly scars. It was far from the lazy and arrogant demeanor of the past.

The three great monsters are entrenched on the ruins of the Great Desolate Abyss, and they have taken the Kunlun Land as their own. Many Kunlun disciples shuttle back and forth between several main peaks with their swords, sometimes dodging the magma flames ejected by Taotie in a panic. .

However, none of them backed down. They searched for gaps in the process of dealing with the three monsters, or drew sword energy, or exorcised the spirit cauldron, surrounded by a series of spells, which made the three monsters stretched out for a while.

In a blink of an eye, Mei Qingjian could only see an elderly monk in green clothes sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Kunlun disciple formation. He seemed to be drawing a hexagram of Qin Kun out of thin air, but in the blink of an eye, there was a formation full of aura The Dharma fell overwhelmingly among the Kunlun disciples.

Mei Qingjian was slightly startled, he only felt that this person's cultivation was better than his own in the first step of the formation, but he had never seen this person in Kunlun Mountains before.

Surprised for only a short moment, he immediately remembered the past of Tianji Peak that Elder Tianji had mentioned.

After the death of the former Elder Tianji, one of his direct disciples left Kunlun Mountain, and there has been no news since then... Now, it seems that it must be him who returned to the mountain to help Kunlun when it was in distress.

Mei Qingjian originally wanted to concentrate on seeing how the man's formation was executed, but suddenly he heard an unusually familiar shout from afar.

He instinctively cast his eyes towards the other side of the water mirror, but saw Ling Yu wearing a pitch-black cloak on the top of Tianfu Peak that had been cut off in half, the corners of the robe flapped in the strong wind, and Xihe's divine sword swiped from top to bottom Opening half a circle, the hot sword energy almost split from the broken mirror to Mei Qingjian.

But seeing that there seemed to be two blazing flames burning in Ling Yu's eyes, he decided to kill without any concealment.Xihe's sword pointed straight at Qiongqi, and he suddenly rushed forward with the sword.

"...!!"

Mei Qingjian's breathing suddenly suffocated, and her ten fingers sank deep into her palm without realizing it. However, at this moment, the spiritual energy contained in the small piece of Gui water in front of her was exhausted, and the water mirror was broken inch by inch. Ling Yu's side face turned into water ripples, as if it was just a dream in the void.

Mei Qingjian's chest rose and fell slightly, and she came back to her senses for a moment, only to realize that her back was drenched in cold sweat.

Ever since he broke through the seal of divine power and came to the Kingdom of Zhongrong, he thought that he had already given up his old thoughts.Unexpectedly, he would still think about his fellow Kunlun disciples, strangers who came from the same line of heaven, and Ling Yu.

The emperor Zhong Rong who was beside him had been staring at him quietly all the time, and at this moment he called softly: "Jian'er."

Mei Qing gradually raised her head in a daze, her eyes were empty and she was at a loss.Emperor Zhongrong raised his hand to caress his shoulder, and said gently: "The world is rough, and everyone has their own destiny, and it is definitely not something that can be dealt with by escaping.

"...It's just that the world is precarious, and it's really not fair for you to support it alone."

Mei Qingjian lowered her eyelids slightly, and said softly: "The Bai people's old enmity and the Kunlun incident are all dangerous situations. The Chinese have nothing to do with this situation, and Qingjian doesn't want to make innocent people suffer."

Emperor Zhongrong looked far away and looked at the surface of the Guishui water that gradually narrowed with the meandering current in the distance. There was a bit of sadness in his eyes that belonged to the elderly alone, and he murmured.

"You don't need to worry about this, grandpa naturally understands it....Moreover, who can stay out of it in the world?"

……

Three days later, Mei Qingjian accompanied Emperor Zhongrong to the ancient altar built in the center of China.

This place happens to be located on a small island in the water of the Guishui, facing the wide waters of the Guishui, there are aquatic plants placed in the east, west, south, north of the altar.

As Emperor Zhongrong recited the incantation, the long incantation circled and echoed with the sound of the gurgling water, and the blue halo above the Guishui flourished again and again, and the Zhongrong people gathered in the distance opened their mouths at the same time and chanted in unison.

"Picking apples? On the shore of Nanjian. Picking algae? Walking there..."

"For Yisheng? Dimensional baskets and bowls. For Yixiang? Dimensions and cauldrons..."

"To lay it down? The patriarchal clan. Whose corpse is it? There is Qi Ji's daughter...."

This sacrificial song is solemn and simple, retaining the awe-inspiring antiquity left over from the ancient wilderness, Mei Qing gradually couldn't help holding her breath and listening intently.

The ceremony in front of him has never been seen before, and it must be a unique sacrifice in the country of Zhongrong.

The sacrificial song was sung three times, and when it came to the end, the surface of the Guishui in front suddenly moved without wind, and ripples gradually formed. As the sacrificial song of "Whoever dies, there is Qi Ji Nu" settled down, the water quickly A huge vortex was formed, the water vapor was transpiring, and the spiritual breath was vertical and horizontal, and the wind was surging for a while.

Emperor Zhongrong stared at the depths of the vortex formed by the water, suddenly aroused his spiritual energy, raised his hands, but heard a splashing sound of water waves, the water vapor circling in mid-air suddenly converged, and the golden light fluttered, turning into a fox-like figure with a back. Chenghuang with raw horns.

The Yellow Riding Beast, which gathered moisture, stepped forward with its front paws in mid-air, and landed lightly beside Mei Qingjian.Teng Huang seemed quite familiar this time, before turning back into a human form, he smiled loudly and said:

"—Your Majesty has broken all the seals and exhausted his divine power. It's time to return to the homeland."
