After marrying the shadow queen

After informing Chu Jinyan and the others, Sheng Qingru and Ji Yuchuan set off for Xihuang Village in an unknown place.As for the rumors on the Internet, they have long since left them behind.Up to now, faith is not the most important thing.The car was bumping on the rugged mountain road, the more desolate it was as it went forward, and there was no trace of people, almost making Ji Yuchuan doubt its authenticity.

In terms of navigation, there is no road ahead, but when the car reaches that place, the surrounding scenery has undergone major changes.A narrow path stretches into the depths with no end in sight.The small road that only allows two people to walk together cannot accommodate the forward movement of the car. "This is probably a small village that was sealed in the gap between the human world and the demon world. As the boundaries between the worlds were broken, they also woke up from it." Sheng Qingru replied with a low murmur.

After walking for a while, I finally entered the village. On the low and rolling hills are patches of farmland. The low thatched houses are like chess pieces on a square plate. Between the criss-crossing rice paddies are men carrying hoes. , They wore ancient costumes, and they lived in this isolated place for an unknown number of years.Ji Yuchuan was a little surprised by the place like a peach blossom garden, and he also had an inexplicable and indescribable emotion.When she came in, she felt a different aura, looked at Sheng Qingru, and found the same confusion on her face.

The people in the village didn't seem to see their existence, and they passed by without saying a word, until a woman in white came out with an unfamiliar face, Ji Yuchuan was sure that she was sending a message to him people. "Queen Xi?" She raised her eyebrows and asked symbolically. After seeing the man nodding, she smiled faintly, "I'm here, where is the Golden Lingzhu?" If it wasn't for the Lingzhu, why would she need to come to this place? ?Seeing the righteous master, he naturally stated his purpose directly.

"I am from Empress Xi, and my name is Bai Jian." The woman introduced herself, and after a moment of silence, she added, "Please come with me."

Still didn't mention the Golden Lingzhu?Could it be fake?Ji Yuchuan glanced at Sheng Qingru and held her finger.Sheng Qingru didn't speak, she looked at the woman in front of her, felt a touch of demonic power from her body, and presumably her soul had already awakened.On Weibo, she should not have lied, Jin Lingzhu is in this isolated village.

There is an old locust tree planted in the small yard. A group of chickens and ducks walk comfortably under the tree. The farm tools are casually left aside, and some of them have rusted under the ravages of wind and rain.This woman who called herself Bai Jian lived at the end of the village, and her house was almost alone in that place.

"You should have guessed it when you came here. This is a sealed village, and the isolation from the world is not very good." Bai Jian shook her head with a bitter smile on her face. "I know that you demons are looking for the Golden Lingzhu, and it was placed in the Shaohao Pond on the mountain behind the village. Before you, other people have entered this village. After much deliberation, I decided to tell you about its existence. you."

"Why was Xihuang Village sealed?" Ji Yuchuan asked curiously.

"Besides, there is a wood spirit formation in this village. It stands to reason that you are the holder of the Golden Lingzhu. How could you be sealed by the wood spirit formation?" Before Bai Jian could answer, Sheng Qingru took over Ji Yuchuan's words.She had carefully observed the village, and there was a murderous aura lurking everywhere, and before this aura burst out, it was suppressed by a soft aura.The wood spirit array around the village is very powerful, but the village's Autumn Sorrow is not necessarily inferior, not to mention, the array has been partially broken by external forces.

"It's a long story, and it's been thousands of years." Bai Jian's face froze, her eyes showed rejection of this topic, and she brought the topic back to the Golden Lingzhu. She said, "Someone claims to be The demon emperor's envoy has come to our West Emperor Village, but my power can only suppress him temporarily, and he will break out sooner or later."

"so--"

"So I need your help." Bai Jian replied quite simply, she lowered her head and glanced at the little white dumpling playing with her tail, "I think you will be interested, for Wang Tianjiu, the dragon spirit is very important. Great tonic."

"Dragon?" Ji Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, and a stern face suddenly appeared in front of him.It's been a while since I heard from him. Could it be that he came to Xihuang Village quietly, looking for the whereabouts of Jin Lingzhu?Or did the dragon soul of Yushan find this place?

Sheng Qingru asked quietly: "Can you take us to see it?"

Bai Jian nodded and said, "Yes." She walked ahead and led the way, and reached the destination after climbing a small hill.It was a stone house like a tomb, surrounded by a cold atmosphere, and the roar of an angry dragon could be faintly heard coming from it. "People in the village are in awe of the dragon god. I can only imprison it here so that it will not be discovered."

"I think my guess should be correct." Ji Yuchuan took a deep breath, and she took a step forward, ahead of the other two.The door of the stone house was also made of stone, and it opened slowly under her push.The house is not big, only a few square meters.A man is imprisoned by chains, and above his head hovers an angry dragon, as if trying to break through the chains and break free from the confinement of the stone house. "Young Master You, we met again." Ji Yuchuan didn't have a good impression of You Ao, she sighed twice, "I didn't expect you to be just a soldier of the Demon Emperor." Of course, only an angry roar answered Ji Yuchuan .

"This is the dragon-binding rope?" Sheng Qingru was afraid that something might happen to Ji Yuchuan, so he pulled her into his arms and looked at the chains that bound You Ao.If she remembers correctly, the Dragon Binding Cable was once the Eastern Emperor's magic weapon, right?Why did it fall into Bai Jian's hands again?

"It was left to me by a friend." Bai Jian understood the doubt in Sheng Qingru's eyes, and answered before she asked.As for which friend it was, she was reluctant to recall it.

Sheng Qingru nodded slightly, she looked down at Qingqing who was biting her trouser leg, her eyes were sparkling, presumably she had been coveting Dragon Qi for a long time, and wished she could pounce on You Ao right away, but without Sheng Qingru's approval, it would not Dare to act indiscriminately.Bending down and tapping its forehead, Sheng Qingru said with a faint smile, "Go." Qingqing, who had been granted the permission, suddenly showed a fierce look, and stared at the dragon soul with bared teeth.

"Qingqing is going to transform again, let's go out." Ji Yuchuan covered his eyes with his hands, and added, "I don't think it's ugly." There was an earth-shattering roar in the small stone house, almost reaching the ground. They all started to tremble, and the three people standing at the door seemed to be okay, looking at the gradually dimming dragon soul.No matter how strong the dragon's spiritual power is, Wang Tianjiu is its nemesis after all.Now this bound dragon has no ability to resist.

"Now, can we have a look at the Golden Lingzhu?" Ji Yuchuan cleared his throat and asked.

"It's in Shaohao Pond, and there's a formation eye there." Bai Jian sighed, "I once swore that no one would destroy the magic circle in Xihuang Village. If you can take it without destroying the formation, Take it, then take it directly."

"What does this mean?" Ji Yuchuan frowned.If the Golden Lingzhu is the eye of the formation, then taking the Golden Lingzhu is equivalent to directly destroying the formation. How could it be taken without destroying it?This person called them here to play tricks on them? "What if we insist on destroying the formation?" Ji Yuchuan took a deep breath and asked.

Bai Jian's face remained unchanged, and she replied calmly: "Then I can only become a defender, and I can destroy the Golden Lingzhu before you get it."

"Why do you want everyone in the village to be trapped in the formation? Didn't you say that the world of Taohuayuan is not very beautiful?" Sheng Qingru squeezed Ji Yuchuan's hand, signaling her to calm down.She stared into Bai Jian's eyes and asked quietly.

"It's not good because it's too lonely." Bai Jian sighed, her expression was rather complicated, "Do you really think they are human? Once the formation is destroyed, the people in the village will lose the power of the Qing Emperor." If they are supported by the spirit, their souls will be scattered, and they are the ones who should have died thousands of years ago."

Ji Yuchuan asked, "Are they your people?"

"No." Bai Jian shook her head and said, "They are my guards. Once I get close to the border of Xihuang Village, they will rush up like crazy. This is not a naturally generated village, but a prison. I am the only prisoner in this cage." When she said the last few words, Bai Jian smiled, licked her lips, and added a bit of desolation between her brows and eyes, "I voluntarily live in a cage, and that person But they never want to come back.” Thousands of years of love and hatred have not become blurred with the passage of time. At the moment when Nuwa’s heart fell into samsara, the sleeping village woke up, and her primordial spirit also woke up. Forcing her to accept the memory of the past again, if everything is forgotten, how good would it be?However, as a sinner, she had to endure torture again and again.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to mention this." Ji Yuchuan understood her sadness and said apologetically.

"It has nothing to do with you." Bai Jian sighed again, "I have already told you the whereabouts of the Golden Lingzhu, what to do is up to you, my position changes according to your choices, whether it is an enemy or a friend, all In a thought."

Ji Yuchuan nodded heavily, and thought to himself, as expected, none of the spirit beads can be obtained easily, what about his fans?Why did you start to turn your face at this time?

No matter what, I have to stay in Xihuang Village for a while. Fortunately, Bai Jian can be regarded as hospitable. She can clean up a clean house in the yard where she lives alone for Sheng Qingru and the others. As for food, this small village It is a completely self-sufficient closed estate.Although they were under the same roof, it was rare to see Bai Jian. She seemed to be alone in the room, disconnected from everything in the world.

"Golden Lingzhu is the eye of the array, how can we get it without destroying the eye?" Ji Yuchuan had a worried face, obviously out of ideas.She and Sheng Qingru went to Shaohao Pond to check it out. It was the place where the formation was the most powerful. Rather than saying that the wood spirit formation suppressed the entire village, it was better to say that the Golden Lingzhu voluntarily provided all the energy and was willing to be bound. "Can we find something to replace the Golden Lingzhu?" Ji Yuchuan asked again.

"At present, there is nothing greater than the power contained in the Lingzhu." Sheng Qingru replied with a frown. She also thought about this possibility, not to mention the spiritual power needed to transfer the formation eye, and there is not even anything that can replace the Jinlingzhu.They can clearly see what they want, but they are at a loss, and they can't see it.

"Sitting like this is not an option. I really can't figure out what Miss Bai means. If she is a prisoner in Xihuang Village, wouldn't it be good to release the formation restraint on her body? As for the life and death of the people in the village, what does it matter?" Relevant? They should have been wiped out." Ji Yuchuan replied, staying in this place for a long time aggravated her uneasiness. "If there is really no other way, let's choose head-to-head. I don't believe there is no chance at all."

Sheng Qingru's fingers landed on Ji Yuchuan's eyebrows, soothing the melancholy in her eyebrows.She didn't want any loss of Emperor Wa's relics, so she sighed softly, and she responded: "This is the next step, let's see if we can persuade Miss Bai. I also contacted Chu Jinyan. She heard that after that rumor, monsters appeared in the world, and people were panicked for a while, the people of the Demon Supervisory Committee were busy catching the monsters that came out boldly, and they had no time to take care of us here."

"Is this what you call the leak in the house and the continuous night rain?" Ji Yuchuan pressed Sheng Qingru's hand, and said, "I think Miss Bai is very strange. What marks have been left on her in the past? If someone imprisoned me, I will Naturally, she will hate him, but Miss Bai is different, her emotions show that she has very complicated feelings for the person who set up the formation, who is the formation? Can you still remember the old things thousands of years ago?"

"I don't know." Sheng Qingru shook his head, it is impossible to know everything.After pondering for a moment, she replied, "This wood spirit array is the strongest I have ever seen, and it must have been laid by someone who inherited the Qing Emperor. The Wood Spirit Orb is probably in her hands. If we can wait here She's coming—" Sheng Qingru didn't continue, this was the best plan, but I don't know how likely this kind of existence is, it's better not to have such a small hope.

"I can't sit still anymore." Ji Yuchuan snorted, "The longer this drags on, the worse it will be."

Xihuang Village was originally an isolated place, but before Sheng Qingru and the others came, there were traces of other monsters, and after them, new visitors also ushered in.Sheng Qingru and the others didn't know about this at first, but one day Bai Jian suddenly walked out of her small world, broke down the door after crying with joy, as if the person she was waiting for finally appeared at this moment.

Ji Yuchuan took Sheng Qingru to watch the fun. She was a woman in green clothes. The ancient dress was incompatible with everything today, but she was very similar to the people in Xihuang Village, even their aura was exactly the same.When I saw the back view, I thought the woman had a gentle appearance, but that almost bewitching face was even more beautiful than the nine-tailed fox Chu Jinyan.

When Bai Jian ran in front of the woman, she stopped. She seemed to not believe her eyes, and the contradictory emotions were evident on her face.Obviously wanting to be urgent, but in the end he stopped in all kinds of hesitation. "Kongsang, you said that when you come back, it means that you have forgiven me."

The woman known as Kongsang smiled slightly and said, "That's true, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for thousands of years."

"Actually, it's not a long wait." Bai Jian sighed, "We spent most of the time in deep sleep, without any consciousness. I still—"

Before Bai Jian finished speaking, the woman put her hand on her lips, and let out a soft "shh", her eyes fell on Sheng Qingru and Ji Yuchuan at this moment, and she was looking at them calmly. with the same outsiders in the village.After a while, she turned to Bai Jian and asked, "Who are they?"

"It's the emissary on the mountain, can't you see it?" A doubt flashed in Bai Jian's eyes.

"Sorry, I just woke up not long ago." A guilty smile appeared on Kongsang's face. She stroked her forehead and looked down at the little white dumpling on the ground.Obviously it was her meeting with Bai Jian, but the final attention always stayed on the other person.

"Is she the one who set up the Wood Spirit Formation?" Ji Yuchuan had a guess in his mind. She stared into Bai Jian's eyes and asked curiously.

Bai Jian was stunned for a moment, hiding the sadness in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

"Then can she unlock the formation and let us get that thing?" Ji Yuchuan asked again.

Bai Jian glanced at Kong Sang, seeing that her mind was wandering, she suppressed the surprise and sourness in her heart.She had imagined all kinds of possibilities of meeting, including love and hate, but she never thought that it would be such an indifferent scene.It seemed that the person who came to see her was not the person she had longed for, but a person who had only nodded acquaintance thousands of years ago, maybe not even a friend.Could it all be attributed to the fact that her consciousness was still in a chaotic state when she first woke up?Or is it that after several transfers, it is no longer that person's original soul that has awakened in the body, but is dominated by the soul power of this life?

Ji Yuchuan's question was not answered, she looked at Bai Jian, and her brows became tighter and tighter.

"I'm sorry." Kong Sang apologized again, "I don't have much memory of the previous events. As for the wood spirit array, there are only vague fragments left. I need time."

"It's okay, I can wait." Bai Jian replied.

Ji Yuchuan: "..." She didn't want to waste time in this weird Xihuang Village.
