The Cannon Fodder Big Brother collapsed again
Chapter 23 Ghost Realm
The ninth day of July is the opening day of Yaozhou's secret realm.
In addition to the Taihang Immortal Sect, several other great Immortal Sect families also gathered here.
Hundreds of people gathered outside Fengyan Hall, and Fang Qian stood at the top as the leader of Taihang Immortal Sect this time.
Not far from his left stood a haughty young man, dressed in red with a golden fan, as if he was afraid that he would not be conspicuous enough.Intentionally or unintentionally, he took a half step forward, as if he intended to keep pace with Fang Qian.
"That's the representative of the royal family, Xiaoyaohou Zhu Cheng'an, the uncle of the imperial concubine. His cultivation is also at the early stage of Jindan, but he is more than twice as old as you." Lu Yue stood behind Fang Qian and leaned forward. Come over and whisper.
In the past few days, he and Lu Lan have been in charge of receiving guests from other aristocratic families of the sect. Jindan only has you and him, senior brother. This person thinks very highly of himself. He has regarded himself as a young leader many times, so he has a lot of hatred for senior brother you and often speaks rudely. If you meet him in the secret realm, remember to beat him up! "
The monks themselves have clear eyes and ears, let alone those who are in the Golden Core stage. As soon as Lu Yue finished speaking, Zhu Cheng'an's gloomy eyes stared over.
Standing by the side, Lu Lan frowned and pulled her elder brother back, before Lu Yue met Zhu Cheng'an's gaze first.
Fang Qian coughed, took half a step sideways to block the line of sight between the two, and at the same time withdrew to a position on par with Zhu Cheng'an.Originally, he had no interest in this so-called leader of the younger generation, and he had no intention of making enemies because of it.
Seeing Fang Qian take half a step back, Zhu Cheng'an finally withdrew his aggressive gaze and waved his folding fan contentedly.
Lu Yue didn't dare to resist being pulled by his younger brother, so he could only look at the sky silently and muttered: "I'm not afraid of getting caught."
Fang Qian glanced at Lu Yue helplessly, looked past him to the back, and finally found Ji Zheng at the end of the crowd.
He was called by his master early in the morning to explain the matter, and he finally escaped and was too late to pick up Ji Zheng at the outer door, so he could only wait for a while for the secret realm to open and play by ear.
As soon as noon arrived, a few people headed by Tang Jingci flew into the air, formed seals with their hands, and a gate of void appeared in front of all the disciples.
From the door, you can see the outline of mountains and seas on the other side. When Zhu Chengan saw Yixi just about to go forward, Tang Jingci turned his head and scolded: "Wangshu, don't come in yet."
Zhu Cheng'an's face turned purple, he snorted coldly, and finally took back the steps he was about to take.On the contrary, after Fang Qian responded, his figure flashed and picked up a child from behind, squeezed a hand formula with one hand, stepped down Shenglian and stepped into the door three times.
After him, Zhu Cheng'an and other talents successively showed their magical powers and flew into the secret realm of Yaozhou.
Yaozhou Secret Realm is a place for cultivating immortals in ancient times. The world in it is vast, but the teleportation location is very random.
Fang Qian had entered a secret realm once back then, and he hadn't walked through a third of it until he left, let alone find someone in it.Even if Ji Zheng has his own soul thoughts, if he is unlucky, it will be difficult to find him in a short time, not to mention that he has to find the magic cave within a year.
Therefore, at the moment of stepping in, Fang Qian simply hugged Ji Zheng to avoid being teleported to different places.Ji Zheng hugged Fang Qian's neck subconsciously. When he landed, he was in a daze, looking at Fang Qian's fair side face foolishly.
I don't know if it's because he just walked through the space gap, or because of Fang Qian's sudden approach.
The place where the two appeared was on a clean street, the air was damp after the rain, and moss grew in the cracks of the dilapidated stone road.
The aura here has become so thick that it can be seen by the naked eye, and it is surrounded by a thin mist formed by the pale aura, covering the street scene a bit hazy.
This was a place Fang Qian had never been to before. He put Ji Zheng down, and led the child to the end of the long street.There are too few clues here, and there is no way to determine the specific location.
Ji Zheng held Fang Qian's hand with a blushing face, and his lips were tightly pressed together. I don't know if it was his illusion, but the aura here seemed to be unusually lively.
When he usually meditates in the fairy gate, he is not welcomed by the spiritual energy, and he will not enter his body unless it is pulled forcibly.But here it's just the opposite, even if he doesn't move, those auras are scrambling to penetrate into his body.
After only two steps, I felt like I was filled with aura, making it difficult for me to move forward.But he was still calm on the surface, trying to walk at the same pace as usual, not wanting to cause any trouble to the elder brother.
Fang Qian realized that something was wrong with Ji Zheng when the little hand he was holding suddenly became hot. When he turned his head, he saw a red-hot "drunk shrimp".
"...Don't have a long mouth? Don't you know how to say it when you feel uncomfortable?" Fang Qian grabbed Ji Zheng's shoulder and patted it. The aura around him seemed to be shaken away, and ripples appeared in circles.
Fang Qian pressed the person and sat cross-legged on the ground. After he smoothed out all the naughty aura in his body, he clamped the person up and walked to the end of the street in a few steps.
The blue-gray city wall has stood in this place for nearly ten thousand years, magnificent but decadent.
The gate of the city was open at this time, and one could enter and exit at any time, but the specific situation of the outer gate could not be seen clearly from the inside. Fang Qian looked up at the three big characters of Puyuan town engraved on the top of the gate and fell into deep thought.
The secret realm of Yaozhou is opened once every ten years, and the map of the territory has already been drawn out in detail, down to the beasts or treasures that may appear in each field.There are only two places that have not been drawn, one is the magic cave and the other is the ghost domain, and the two are also connected.
This city, which does not appear on the map, can only come from one place——the ghost domain.
Yaozhou back then was very similar to Ji Yun today, with homes for immortals and towns for ordinary people.Most of the ghost domains were bustling towns back then, and later they were formed due to the obsession of the locals after they became completely empty cities.
There is no clear direction for the appearance of the ghost domain, but it is the only entrance leading to the magic cave.He originally thought that he would search for a long time, but he didn't expect to come to this place as soon as he came up.
Fang Qian also had mixed feelings for a while, staring at the exit of the city gate hesitantly.No one knows how big the ghost domain is. If they leave this city, no one can guarantee that they will still be in the ghost domain.This may also be fate, saving him the time to search.
but……
Ji Zheng tugged on Fang Qian's clothes. Although the senior brother protected those ferocious spiritual powers and stopped trying to penetrate him, maintaining this position all the time is prone to brain hypoxia.
Fang Qian lowered his head and took a look at Ji Zheng, then raised his hand and put Ji Zheng behind his back, then turned around and walked back into the city.
Ji Zheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why the elder brother was unhappy.It's like carrying heavy mountains on the shoulders invisible, no matter how straight the back is, the heart is tired.
Ji Zheng lay on Fang Qian's back, while reducing his weight as much as possible, he reactivated the aura in his body, he wanted to become stronger as soon as possible.
Fang Qian didn't notice that the spiritual energy that had been blown away by him gathered around Ji Zheng again, and quietly penetrated into his body as his spiritual power circulated.
Puyuan Town is about the same size as Tianshui City, divided into three streets and sixteen lanes.The blue bricks and black tiles of the houses on both sides are vaguely as they were in those days, as if abandoned by time and frozen by history.
Fang Qian also saw baked biscuits in a biscuit shop, and they looked like they were just baked except that they were not warm.He reached out and touched the sesame seed cake, but it turned into fly ash when he touched it.
Seeing that the sky was getting late, and there was nothing abnormal in the city for the time being, but there was no guarantee that there would be no strange things at night, Fang Qian raised his hand and pushed open the door of a Yunsheng Inn on the street.Fortunately, the wooden door of the inn did not fly into ashes and annihilate when touched with hands like the biscuits, and it was still hanging there.
The inn looked clean, not even a lot of dust.
Fang Qian randomly found a wing room on the first floor. He knew only a handful of formations, so he simply pulled Jun Hong out and stuck it on the door to suppress the rioting spiritual power.
After finally repairing it, Jun Hong, who used it to lock the door, humbly let out a humming sound, but it was completely ignored.
"You rest here first." Fang Qian originally wanted to put Ji Zheng on the bed, but considering that it was all old antiques from ten thousand years ago, he didn't know if it was strong enough, so he put him on the ground casually.
Seeing that Fang Qian was about to leave through the window, Ji Zheng subconsciously called out to Senior Brother.
Fang Qian leaned against the window in a not-so-elegant manner and smiled back: "Hey, don't be afraid, Junhong will protect you."
Ji Zheng shook the hilt of Junhong Sword: "Will you always protect me?"
He muttered softly, with a smile unconsciously on the corner of his mouth, his small face looked delicate and soft like the rising sun, without any shadow from when he first arrived in Taihang.
Ji Zheng smiled for a moment, then quickly retracted it, sat cross-legged on the ground with his back straight, and meditated upright.The window that was pushed open by Fang Qian has never been closed again, and has been waiting for someone to return one night.
In fact, Fang Qian didn't go very far, he just sat on the bell tower not far from the inn, from which he could just see the whole city.
He stared at the still city for a long time, his eyes were sore and he didn't see any abnormalities, but he was sleepy and found it first.
Fang Qian yawned. The sleep habit he developed over the past 20 years cannot be changed in a day or two. He didn't correct it when he was in Taihang, so he became sleepy on time, so he just leaned on the clock tower and closed his eyes. sleep soundly.
When the moon was setting and the stars were sinking, Fang Qian opened his eyes suddenly, and he heard the sound of a watch in the distance.
Before that, there was no sign of life in his consciousness except Ji Zheng, but now the city seemed to come alive.
The world that originally only had the light of the stars and the moon, was suddenly filled with lights from other people's houses when it was almost dawn.Not long after, Fang Qian heard the crowing of the golden rooster and the crying of a child.
Fang Qian glanced at Yunsheng Inn, and his figure flashed to the city gate, and the originally open gate was closed tightly.
Fang Qian waved his sleeve and pushed the city gate, but there was no response from the city gate. It was expected that they were trapped in this place.
In the Yunsheng Inn, Ji Zheng was awakened by the sound of footsteps.Jun Hong hanging on the door didn't judge the danger, so he didn't stop the coming people.
"There's a ghost!" Xiaoer, who was holding the water basin and was about to clean the guest room, was startled by the child sitting facing him, and directly knocked over the water in the basin.
It just so happened that Fang Qian came in through the window, and the half of the basin of water spilled down on his face.Fang Qian, who habitually raised his sleeves to cover him, finally put down his drenched cuffs silently.
……
"Chenghui three low-grade spirit stones." The shopkeeper, who was round from the belly to the eyes, smiled and stretched out his fat hand.
Fang Qian took Lingshi's hand and said, "The first floor should not belong to the upper room."
The shopkeeper's smile remained undiminished, and he still stretched out his hand persistently: "Guest officer, you are joking, go to the room for a middle-grade spirit stone overnight."
One middle-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Fang Qian, who has only five middle-grade spirit stones so far, felt that he was rich for a short time, and became a poor man again.
But looking dignifiedly at Shu Xianjun is not enough to renege on his debt. After handing in the three spirit stones, Fang Qian led Ji Zheng out of the inn.
……
Today's Puyuan Town is completely different from yesterday, and the streets are full of people.This place is worthy of being an ancient secret realm. Most of the streets are cultivated immortals, and many of them are monks in the golden core stage.
What changed was not only the person who appeared out of thin air, but also the lively aura, which is much more docile today.Although he will still drill into Ji Zheng's body, he will line up obediently to give him a smooth time.
But most of the ghost domains are formed by the obsession of one person or many people. Only by finding the obsession can you find the exit of the ghost domain.The formation of obsessions is always related to what will happen next in this world, and it is often accompanied by a devastating crisis. If the obsession cannot be resolved, people who stray into the ghost realm are likely to die in it along with the crisis.
Fang Qian led Ji Zheng around, but he didn't see anyone who looked like the protagonist in this world.
It's just the beginning of the first day, and I'm afraid I can't see anything. Fang Qian looked at the morning tea shop next to him: "Are you hungry? Let's go have morning tea."
Looking at Fang Qian's obviously expectant eyes, Ji Zheng nodded silently.
This morning tea shop has special dishes for monks full of aura, and ordinary people can eat all kinds of food.Like an inn, any dishes with aura are outrageously expensive.
Fang Qian mixed up his budget and ordered a few breakfasts with names he hadn't heard, pushed the spiritual food to Ji Zheng, and enjoyed the usual pastries by himself.
Ji Zheng wanted to exchange the two copies with a straight face, but Fang Qian pressed his hand: "Although Huang Quan was born with obsession, the rare treasures he got during the period, including this simple meal of spiritual food, are all real. , Eating more is good for you."
As for him not planning to make a breakthrough within ten years, of course he chooses what he wants to eat, as long as he consumes a little bit of cultivation to get rid of the impurities in his body.
"Why are you so kind to me?" Ji Zheng held his chopsticks and looked at Fang Qian persistently.
Fang Qian stopped holding the sweet-scented osmanthus pancake, and said in a plausible way: "In order to harm you, let's eat well."
Ji Zheng didn't seem to take Fang Qian's words to heart, but Fang Qian lost interest in continuing to enjoy the food, and walked up to the shop owner: "Boss, is there any interesting place nearby, or is there any special day in the past few days?" ?”
"The guest officer is from another place? We don't have any famous scene in this small place, but there are two legends." There are not many people in the shop at the moment, and the little boss who is as thin as a hemp stick is doing the math. Talking one after another.
"One of them is Fenglongtan, which refers to the ditch in the west of the city. It is said that the immortal sealed a golden dragon in it, and used the dragon's energy to nourish our Puyuan Town."
Fang Qian frowned. He always felt familiar with this statement, as if he had heard it somewhere: "Then there is another one?"
"There is also a special day related to the Puyuan Festival. It is said that the day when the son Yuan ascended to the Tao, it rained all over the sky. In order to worship the son Yuan, the people specially designated the day when he ascended as the Puyuan Festival. The town was also changed to Puyuan Town."
The little boss finally let go of his calculations, and told Fang Qian with a mysterious face: "Every day, there will be golden rain in the sky. This is also the biggest festival here, so it's a coincidence that the guest officer came. Seven days later it will be Puyuan Festival."
Fang Qian was silent for a while, and said very sincerely: "Your statement doesn't seem like the young master has ascended, but it seems that the young master has passed away."
"You can't talk nonsense!" The little boss immediately changed his expression, and threw Fang Qian and Ji Zheng out together.
Fang Qian led Ji Zheng to the west of the city: "Did you hear anything?"
Ji Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Both legends have immortals, and both turned out to bless Puyuan Town. There should be a connection between the two."
"No, properly offending the boss can save Lingshi." Fang Qian smiled slightly at last Jizheng's confused eyes: "He just forgot to collect the money when he drove us out."
Ji Zheng: "..." Although the initial opinion has changed, I have to say that some of the senior brother's qualities really haven't changed at all.
It's not hard to find Fenglongtan, it's just in the western outskirts of the city. It is said that the lake is just a small river with a width of more than three feet.The pool looks very deep, and you can't see the end at a glance.
"It must be a little bigger than a small dragon to be stuffed in." Fang Qian probed the pool water, but there was no aura in it, and it seemed to be the most ordinary clear water: "But Suolongjing is so big that it can be said to be stuffed." A dragon went in, it should be similar here?"
"What is Suo Longjing?"
Fang Qian looked back at Ji Zheng, who was seriously asking questions, recalled the stories of locking the Dragon Well in many places, rubbed them together and said: "In ancient times, there was an evil dragon that caused troubles and flooded the town. It was stuffed into the well, and a bridge named Beixin Bridge was built beside the well, and he told Nielong that when the bridge was old, Nielong would be able to come out."
Ji Zheng frowned when he heard this: "Although the evil dragon is guilty, why give it hope and let it down, it's better not to give it in the first place."
Fang Qian paused for a moment, let go of Ji Zheng's hand unconsciously, and said seemingly indifferently: "You are right...let's go to the other side to see."
Eldest brother has something on his mind, he has already found out about it, but he has been afraid to ask because of his clumsy speech.Ji Zheng pinched the corner of his clothes and followed Fang Qian absent-mindedly.
But how to make him happy?
Thinking of this, Ji Zheng's eyes unconsciously drifted to the fat duck that flew to the water not far away, maybe there is no roast chicken or roast duck?
This pool or river is only four or five miles long, and its source is the mountain spring outside the city. Since Fang Qian and Ji Zheng can't leave the city now, they can only take a look at it from the side.Instead, they saw a suspicious-looking man wearing a black cloak.
This place is near the outside of the city, and there are not many people around, so it seems that the character is very abrupt.Xu Shi noticed Fang Qian's gaze, and the man looked back, his brows were like autumn moons, his eyes were like spring water, and a strand of silvery hair slipped out of his cloak.Accumulated stones are like jade, and pine trees are like emerald green. There is a kind of beauty beyond gender.
At first glance, this Jiu looks like the protagonist or a key person. Fang Qian glanced at the real protagonist Ji Zheng behind him, and his child looks better.
When he thought this way, the man walked up to Fang Qian. He was taller than Fang Qian. His cultivation was indistinguishable. There was a golden dragon pattern between his eyebrows. He said, "You are not from here." The aura around him is extremely aggressive, making people unconsciously ignore his outstanding appearance.
Fang Qian's white clothes looked equally elegant, even in front of this person.His expression remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he said after deliberation: "It is true that I only arrived at your place yesterday, senior, you are here..."
"I'm paying homage to an old man." The man interrupted Fang Qian, his voice was as cold as cold jade: "I mean you are not from this world, it's a pity."
Fang Qian was stunned and intuitively felt that what he said in this world was related to obsession, and when he was about to ask again, the person in front of him had disappeared.
Fang Qian stood by the water and pondered for a moment. The man's cultivation base was much higher than his own, and the key to breaking the game might still be his old friend.
What kind of old people are paying homage to at the edge of Fenglongtan...
"Quack quack quack!" Fang Qian turned his head subconsciously when he heard the sound of splashing water and a series of duck calls, and saw Ji Zheng hugging a fat duck and dragging it to the bank with all his strength, and the duck swam desperately into the water. No one can do anything about time.
Both of them have a fierce look on their expressions, and from a bystander's point of view, they are quite evenly matched.
Fang Qian almost burst into tears with laughter, and after admiring the duck fighting for a long time, he finally stepped forward to drag him back to the shore, but he also stepped into the water: "Huh."
He had clearly used spiritual energy to attach to his legs just now, but the water couldn't bear any spiritual energy.
Fang Qian thought for a while, raised his hand and dragged Ji Zheng and the duck back to the shore together: "Wait for me here for a while."
After he finished speaking, he took off his outer shirt and took off his hairpin, leaving only his obscene clothes and jumping into the water again.
Ji Zheng hugged the duck wetly, staring blankly at the direction where Fang Qian disappeared.He thought of the thin waist of the elder brother just now, and the long black hair scattered in the water.
The eldest brother is so handsome, he lowered his head thinking about it, and faced the duck in his arms, showing a fierce expression at the same time.
……
This Longtan is neither long nor wide, but it is a hundred feet deep. There are all kinds of fish and aquatic plants in the water, but nothing unusual can be seen.
Seeing that the clue was about to be broken, Fang Qian dived down the water to the bottom of the pool while meditating.
Spirit power cannot be used in the pool, and monks are no different from ordinary people in it.Fang Qian has survived for so long with his golden core cultivation base, but he has no way to stay below.
He subconsciously supported it with his hands, but he touched the mud in his hands. Fang Qian was stunned for a moment and gradually had a guess in his heart.
Fang Qian pulled out Junhong, and slashed towards the bottom of the pool with a sword.
After Ji Zheng processed the duck and put it on the grill, it was ready to be roasted, but Fang Qian did not come out.He looked at the pool with some worry, only to see huge waves suddenly churning out from the originally calm water.
Ji Zheng frowned and didn't intend to wait any longer, he glanced hesitantly at the clothes that the senior brother had placed on the shore.When he was about to put it into the storage bag, Fang Qian came out of the water, holding a golden bead covered with a layer of rust in his hand.
Transparent drops of water rolled down the cheeks, all the way down the collarbone and into places where the underwear could not see.
At Ji Zheng's age, he still doesn't understand words such as color granting soul and so on, but he suddenly felt that the sun was a bit glaring, so he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
When Fang Qian walked to the shore, he couldn't wait to use a cleaning technique on himself, then put on his coat again, pulled up his long hair, and then looked at the fat duck on the shore, who was dying miserably: "Are you doing this?" What?"
It was only then that Ji Zheng remembered the roast duck he had set up, and looked at Fang Qian with sparkling eyes, looking very cute: "I'm hungry, senior brother, are you hungry?"
After burning an incense stick, Fang Qian sat on the bank and watched Ji Zheng turn over the duck while brushing the sauce on it. He looked like a skilled worker.After a while, a scent wafted out, and it smelled a little familiar, very similar to the roast chicken that Ji Zheng respected from time to time during this period.
Ji Zheng tore off the duck's wings and handed it to Fang Qian: "Brother, try it."
Fang Qian took it in silence and tasted it, and the taste was really similar, with a hint of sweetness of honey in the burnt aroma, but Fang Qian tasted a lot of bitterness.
He might have made a mistake at the beginning. He was originally a wild and difficult-to-train wolf cub, but he had already sent it out, why did he pay back and pick it up?
……
Fang Qian originally wanted to find the person who wore the black cloak that day before the Puyuan Festival, but during these seven days, he was not found by the lake or in the entire city.
He also went to the temple dedicated to Gongzi Yuan, and the statue inside was like a glaring Vajra with his feet on auspicious clouds.
There are legendary murals about the son engraved on the walls of the temple, but most of the stories are slightly exaggerated due to the distortion of time.The only thing worth noting above is that this son was a member of the royal family before he became a fairy, and he has a small golden snake wrapped around his hand all year round.
Fang Qian thought about the dragon pill in the storage bag, then looked at the lazy little snake wrapped around the wrist of the "King Kong" on the mural, and suddenly felt worried that he might have guessed wrong.
In addition, the whole town is peaceful and comfortable, and there is no abnormality. Sometimes Fang Qian himself will forget that he is still in the ghost domain.Ji Zheng's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the fourth level of Qi training in just a few days.
After all, the ancient land is full of spiritual power. In fact, even Fang Qian, who ate, slept and slept all day, touched a threshold of breakthrough, but was forced down by him.
When the dawn just broke, Ji Zheng opened his eyes. He first glanced at Fang Qian who was still sleeping on the bed, and left the room quietly.
"Brother Fang, it's time to get up... Ugh!"
This is a small courtyard in Puyuan Town. The layout is elegant. Although the place is small, it is quite interesting. The most important thing is that it is an ordinary house, which can be rented without spirit stones.
Wearing a flowered dress, the festive-looking elder sister walked over from the outer door with a basin of water. Before she could finish speaking, Ji Zheng, who suddenly appeared, stretched her arms and covered her mouth.
The eldest sister is the owner of this house named Huaru, she is cheerful and hospitable, the only problem is that she is a little too hospitable.Since Fang Qian moved in with Ji Zheng, she has come to report three times a day.
According to her own statement, there are so many monks in this city, but she has never seen a few younger brothers who are more handsome than Fang Qian.
"Hey little Ah Zheng, you scared me to death!" Hua Ru broke away Ji Zheng's little hand, and patted her chest exaggeratedly: "Quickly wake up your brother, if it's later, we won't be able to catch up with our Puyuan Festival parade It's a party."
"I'm already up." Fang Qian leaned against the door and yawned, his peach-like eyes half-opened and half-closed, obviously not fully awake yet.
"Brother Fang." Hua Ru pinched her throat and called out, with an uncontrollable smile in her voice, taking advantage of Fang Qian's gaze, she splashed the water in the basin on him.
Fang Qian was on guard when he passed the inn, so he used his spiritual energy to block back, poured a basin of water back on Huaru's head, and even poured water on the head of the child standing next to her: "Sister Hua, what are you doing?" ?”
Hua Ru watched Fang Qian pull Ji Zheng over, and patted the water off her body with aura, suddenly felt that standing here was a bit redundant, and looked at Fang Qian with aggrieved eyes: "Today is Puyuan Festival, we There is a custom of splashing water here to get rid of filth, this is not coming here early in the morning to help you get rid of bad luck."
Fang Qian said a little dullly: "What is the parade?"
Huaru groaned belatedly, looking at her wet clothes and circling in circles of anxiety: "What can I do, the parade is about to start, my new clothes..."
Fang Qian was dazed by her turn, and raised his hand to pat her on the shoulder.
Hua Ru had a good time, and took the opportunity to raise her hand to hug Fang Qian: "I'm happy for you, pack up and come out soon." After she finished speaking, she covered her face, twisted her thick waist, and twisted out step by step .
Fang Qian looked helplessly and turned his head, only to see Ji Zheng spread his arms, looking at Fang Qian expectantly with his dark eyes: "What are you doing again?"
"I want to hug you too." Ji Zheng looked at Fang Qian without blinking, his voice sounded a little hoarse and anxious: "Can you?"
The first time Fang Qian saw the little wolf cub make a request for the first time, his heart almost melted.There is nothing wrong with it, in fact, no matter what request Ji Zhengru made, he would never refuse, let alone a simple hug, so simple and easy that it made people feel sad, he bent over and hugged Ji Zheng directly.
Ji Zheng tilted his head and leaned on Fang Qian's shoulder. The big brother's hug was as warm as he remembered.
Fang Qian came to the street with Ji Zheng in his arms, and the streets and alleys were already crowded with people.He stayed in this city for seven days, and now he saw many familiar faces, with the same joy on their faces, looking at the street expectantly.
"Here, come! Young Master Yuan is here!" Someone on the long street yelled, the people rushed to the middle of the street, and almost at the same time, golden rain fell from the sky.
The raindrops naturally did not fall on Fang Qian's head. He held Ji Zheng with one hand, and stretched out his right hand to catch a drop of rainwater. The golden drops rolled in his palm.
Fang Qian lowered his head, brought the water drops to the tip of his nose, and sniffed lightly. He frowned slightly and then relaxed, "It really is dragon breath." Before Fang Qian could take a closer look, people around pushed him to move towards the middle.
Not far away, the sound of majestic war drums and the man's vigorous singing came over at the same time. It was obviously supposed to sing praises to the immortals who ascended to immortality, but what they sang was Wu Gexi in battle armor, with banners covering the sun and falling arrows.
This is clearly a battle song.
Fang Qian patted the shoulder of the person in front of him: "Excuse me, isn't this song about Gongzi Yuan?"
"Of course, this is Mr. Yimei's song." The man looked at Fang Qian suspiciously: "I sing it every year, haven't you heard it?"
Fang Qian didn't answer and then asked: "But isn't this singing about war?"
"That's right, Young Master Yuan is our prince and the God of War. The beginning of the song is the scene when he was leading the army." After the man answered impatiently, he saw a man standing in the distance carrying a huge Dancing in the sky on the drum, stepping on the drum and making a sound of the drum, the song was also sung by him, and it sounded majestic.
"Look, that's the young master!" As that person approached, the golden rain became heavier and heavier, even to the point of blinding his eyes.
The golden rain contained dragon energy, which was a rare nourishment for ordinary people. Fang Qian didn't even use spiritual power to protect his body, and he could only see a hazy figure through the rain.He thought for a while and used his spiritual power to gently brush away the crowd in front, trying to get as close to the center as possible.
Ji Zheng buried his head in Fang Qian's arms from beginning to end, not letting him see his expression.
He didn't know why, when the golden rain fell on his body, it penetrated directly from the skin into the body, and even scalded all the way from the meridians into the lungs.
Ji Zheng's whole body was burned red, but when the golden liquid completely melted into his body, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.He could feel that the golden rain was very important to him, so he gritted his teeth and endured it no matter how hot it was.
When Fang Qian was about to get under the huge drum, he vaguely saw that there was an extra person on the drum, and the golden rain blocked his appearance.
"Anyone who pretends to be him deserves to die." Standing behind "Gongzi Yuan", the man acted as if he was holding him in his arms, his movements were gentle but with strong hatred.
Fang Qian felt uneasy and quickly jumped forward.However, faster than him was the slit throat of the person on the drum, and the blood mixed with the golden rain fell down.
The sound of singing and drums stopped completely with the fall of the man, and the people around were still immersed in the excitement just now, even though the sound was stagnant, they did not react, and they were still praying to their "gods" for more golden rain. a bit more.
There were also immortal monarchs with a cultivation level above Jindan who realized that something was wrong, and pierced the man with magic spells and sword lights. At this moment, the golden rain that filled the sky suddenly stopped.
"Wait a minute!" Fang Qian knew that this had happened once before, but if he didn't stop it, he and Ji Zheng would also die here.
The man snapped his fingers with one hand, and all the attacks disappeared in smoke.At the same time, apart from Fang Qian and Ji Zheng, Jin Yu and the people around him seemed to be frozen, and they looked at everything in front of them with terrified expressions.
The man looked at Fang Qian with a half-smile: "Are you calling me?"
Fang Qian resisted the pressure to avoid those people who were fixed, walked up to the person who came, and saw that the person with hair as beautiful as snow was the person by the pool: "You are the golden dragon."
"Do you know me?"
"I don't know, but Fenglongtan pays homage to the deceased, hates son Yuan so much that he can't even tolerate a substitute for him, it should be the golden dragon in the story."
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a half-mocking half-smile: "You are right, I am the legendary golden dragon who was sealed in the pool by the immortal and nourished this land with dragon energy."
Fang Qian didn't have more opportunities to verify his guess, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "But you are not sealed, and the person under the pool is not you."
The man seemed to have heard some joke: "Of course, this is just a thief who stole my dragon core and dragon energy, so that I can ascend and leave merit and dragon energy to nourish this city. Get back what belongs to you?"
After he finished speaking, he seemed impatient: "I waited for 1000 years to regain my human form. You are indeed unlucky as an outsider, but I don't have much time left, and I don't have time to continue listening to your last words... "
Fang Qian rushed to talk before he finished speaking: "But no one ascended to the sky back then, and there was indeed one person who was sealed at the bottom of the pool."
As if he was afraid that the golden dragon would not believe it, he took out the dragon pill from the bottom of the pond: "This is what he has been holding in his hand, but is it yours?"
In the next moment, the dragon pill flew into the golden dragon's hand out of thin air, and the black air around his body was visible to the naked eye, which was a sign of being possessed: "You lied to me."
"That fairy never ascended to the ascension, and he was always the one who was sealed back then. Let me guess, he replaced..." Fang Qian was sent flying by the golden dragon's palm before he finished speaking, and he subconsciously protected Ji Zheng, slid on the ground with one hand for several meters before regaining his footing.
He knew that his words would anger the dragon, but he was told to give them seven days in this broken place, but in fact he was only given this moment from beginning to end. If he didn't stop the golden dragon, he would bloodbath the entire town every minute.
When I first arrived in the secret realm, I met ancient mythical beasts that had long been extinct, and I didn't know whether to say they were lucky or not.
Ji Zheng was well protected by Fang Qian, and he was not injured in the slightest.He was a little annoyed, annoyed that he was always afraid of causing trouble to his senior brother, but in the end he became the one who dragged him down.
He didn't want to continue to be a burden, but found that he couldn't break free from Fang Qian's arm.Fang Qian obviously couldn't distract himself from himself, but subconsciously held himself firmly in his arms.
To Senior Brother, is oneself very important?
In addition to the Taihang Immortal Sect, several other great Immortal Sect families also gathered here.
Hundreds of people gathered outside Fengyan Hall, and Fang Qian stood at the top as the leader of Taihang Immortal Sect this time.
Not far from his left stood a haughty young man, dressed in red with a golden fan, as if he was afraid that he would not be conspicuous enough.Intentionally or unintentionally, he took a half step forward, as if he intended to keep pace with Fang Qian.
"That's the representative of the royal family, Xiaoyaohou Zhu Cheng'an, the uncle of the imperial concubine. His cultivation is also at the early stage of Jindan, but he is more than twice as old as you." Lu Yue stood behind Fang Qian and leaned forward. Come over and whisper.
In the past few days, he and Lu Lan have been in charge of receiving guests from other aristocratic families of the sect. Jindan only has you and him, senior brother. This person thinks very highly of himself. He has regarded himself as a young leader many times, so he has a lot of hatred for senior brother you and often speaks rudely. If you meet him in the secret realm, remember to beat him up! "
The monks themselves have clear eyes and ears, let alone those who are in the Golden Core stage. As soon as Lu Yue finished speaking, Zhu Cheng'an's gloomy eyes stared over.
Standing by the side, Lu Lan frowned and pulled her elder brother back, before Lu Yue met Zhu Cheng'an's gaze first.
Fang Qian coughed, took half a step sideways to block the line of sight between the two, and at the same time withdrew to a position on par with Zhu Cheng'an.Originally, he had no interest in this so-called leader of the younger generation, and he had no intention of making enemies because of it.
Seeing Fang Qian take half a step back, Zhu Cheng'an finally withdrew his aggressive gaze and waved his folding fan contentedly.
Lu Yue didn't dare to resist being pulled by his younger brother, so he could only look at the sky silently and muttered: "I'm not afraid of getting caught."
Fang Qian glanced at Lu Yue helplessly, looked past him to the back, and finally found Ji Zheng at the end of the crowd.
He was called by his master early in the morning to explain the matter, and he finally escaped and was too late to pick up Ji Zheng at the outer door, so he could only wait for a while for the secret realm to open and play by ear.
As soon as noon arrived, a few people headed by Tang Jingci flew into the air, formed seals with their hands, and a gate of void appeared in front of all the disciples.
From the door, you can see the outline of mountains and seas on the other side. When Zhu Chengan saw Yixi just about to go forward, Tang Jingci turned his head and scolded: "Wangshu, don't come in yet."
Zhu Cheng'an's face turned purple, he snorted coldly, and finally took back the steps he was about to take.On the contrary, after Fang Qian responded, his figure flashed and picked up a child from behind, squeezed a hand formula with one hand, stepped down Shenglian and stepped into the door three times.
After him, Zhu Cheng'an and other talents successively showed their magical powers and flew into the secret realm of Yaozhou.
Yaozhou Secret Realm is a place for cultivating immortals in ancient times. The world in it is vast, but the teleportation location is very random.
Fang Qian had entered a secret realm once back then, and he hadn't walked through a third of it until he left, let alone find someone in it.Even if Ji Zheng has his own soul thoughts, if he is unlucky, it will be difficult to find him in a short time, not to mention that he has to find the magic cave within a year.
Therefore, at the moment of stepping in, Fang Qian simply hugged Ji Zheng to avoid being teleported to different places.Ji Zheng hugged Fang Qian's neck subconsciously. When he landed, he was in a daze, looking at Fang Qian's fair side face foolishly.
I don't know if it's because he just walked through the space gap, or because of Fang Qian's sudden approach.
The place where the two appeared was on a clean street, the air was damp after the rain, and moss grew in the cracks of the dilapidated stone road.
The aura here has become so thick that it can be seen by the naked eye, and it is surrounded by a thin mist formed by the pale aura, covering the street scene a bit hazy.
This was a place Fang Qian had never been to before. He put Ji Zheng down, and led the child to the end of the long street.There are too few clues here, and there is no way to determine the specific location.
Ji Zheng held Fang Qian's hand with a blushing face, and his lips were tightly pressed together. I don't know if it was his illusion, but the aura here seemed to be unusually lively.
When he usually meditates in the fairy gate, he is not welcomed by the spiritual energy, and he will not enter his body unless it is pulled forcibly.But here it's just the opposite, even if he doesn't move, those auras are scrambling to penetrate into his body.
After only two steps, I felt like I was filled with aura, making it difficult for me to move forward.But he was still calm on the surface, trying to walk at the same pace as usual, not wanting to cause any trouble to the elder brother.
Fang Qian realized that something was wrong with Ji Zheng when the little hand he was holding suddenly became hot. When he turned his head, he saw a red-hot "drunk shrimp".
"...Don't have a long mouth? Don't you know how to say it when you feel uncomfortable?" Fang Qian grabbed Ji Zheng's shoulder and patted it. The aura around him seemed to be shaken away, and ripples appeared in circles.
Fang Qian pressed the person and sat cross-legged on the ground. After he smoothed out all the naughty aura in his body, he clamped the person up and walked to the end of the street in a few steps.
The blue-gray city wall has stood in this place for nearly ten thousand years, magnificent but decadent.
The gate of the city was open at this time, and one could enter and exit at any time, but the specific situation of the outer gate could not be seen clearly from the inside. Fang Qian looked up at the three big characters of Puyuan town engraved on the top of the gate and fell into deep thought.
The secret realm of Yaozhou is opened once every ten years, and the map of the territory has already been drawn out in detail, down to the beasts or treasures that may appear in each field.There are only two places that have not been drawn, one is the magic cave and the other is the ghost domain, and the two are also connected.
This city, which does not appear on the map, can only come from one place——the ghost domain.
Yaozhou back then was very similar to Ji Yun today, with homes for immortals and towns for ordinary people.Most of the ghost domains were bustling towns back then, and later they were formed due to the obsession of the locals after they became completely empty cities.
There is no clear direction for the appearance of the ghost domain, but it is the only entrance leading to the magic cave.He originally thought that he would search for a long time, but he didn't expect to come to this place as soon as he came up.
Fang Qian also had mixed feelings for a while, staring at the exit of the city gate hesitantly.No one knows how big the ghost domain is. If they leave this city, no one can guarantee that they will still be in the ghost domain.This may also be fate, saving him the time to search.
but……
Ji Zheng tugged on Fang Qian's clothes. Although the senior brother protected those ferocious spiritual powers and stopped trying to penetrate him, maintaining this position all the time is prone to brain hypoxia.
Fang Qian lowered his head and took a look at Ji Zheng, then raised his hand and put Ji Zheng behind his back, then turned around and walked back into the city.
Ji Zheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why the elder brother was unhappy.It's like carrying heavy mountains on the shoulders invisible, no matter how straight the back is, the heart is tired.
Ji Zheng lay on Fang Qian's back, while reducing his weight as much as possible, he reactivated the aura in his body, he wanted to become stronger as soon as possible.
Fang Qian didn't notice that the spiritual energy that had been blown away by him gathered around Ji Zheng again, and quietly penetrated into his body as his spiritual power circulated.
Puyuan Town is about the same size as Tianshui City, divided into three streets and sixteen lanes.The blue bricks and black tiles of the houses on both sides are vaguely as they were in those days, as if abandoned by time and frozen by history.
Fang Qian also saw baked biscuits in a biscuit shop, and they looked like they were just baked except that they were not warm.He reached out and touched the sesame seed cake, but it turned into fly ash when he touched it.
Seeing that the sky was getting late, and there was nothing abnormal in the city for the time being, but there was no guarantee that there would be no strange things at night, Fang Qian raised his hand and pushed open the door of a Yunsheng Inn on the street.Fortunately, the wooden door of the inn did not fly into ashes and annihilate when touched with hands like the biscuits, and it was still hanging there.
The inn looked clean, not even a lot of dust.
Fang Qian randomly found a wing room on the first floor. He knew only a handful of formations, so he simply pulled Jun Hong out and stuck it on the door to suppress the rioting spiritual power.
After finally repairing it, Jun Hong, who used it to lock the door, humbly let out a humming sound, but it was completely ignored.
"You rest here first." Fang Qian originally wanted to put Ji Zheng on the bed, but considering that it was all old antiques from ten thousand years ago, he didn't know if it was strong enough, so he put him on the ground casually.
Seeing that Fang Qian was about to leave through the window, Ji Zheng subconsciously called out to Senior Brother.
Fang Qian leaned against the window in a not-so-elegant manner and smiled back: "Hey, don't be afraid, Junhong will protect you."
Ji Zheng shook the hilt of Junhong Sword: "Will you always protect me?"
He muttered softly, with a smile unconsciously on the corner of his mouth, his small face looked delicate and soft like the rising sun, without any shadow from when he first arrived in Taihang.
Ji Zheng smiled for a moment, then quickly retracted it, sat cross-legged on the ground with his back straight, and meditated upright.The window that was pushed open by Fang Qian has never been closed again, and has been waiting for someone to return one night.
In fact, Fang Qian didn't go very far, he just sat on the bell tower not far from the inn, from which he could just see the whole city.
He stared at the still city for a long time, his eyes were sore and he didn't see any abnormalities, but he was sleepy and found it first.
Fang Qian yawned. The sleep habit he developed over the past 20 years cannot be changed in a day or two. He didn't correct it when he was in Taihang, so he became sleepy on time, so he just leaned on the clock tower and closed his eyes. sleep soundly.
When the moon was setting and the stars were sinking, Fang Qian opened his eyes suddenly, and he heard the sound of a watch in the distance.
Before that, there was no sign of life in his consciousness except Ji Zheng, but now the city seemed to come alive.
The world that originally only had the light of the stars and the moon, was suddenly filled with lights from other people's houses when it was almost dawn.Not long after, Fang Qian heard the crowing of the golden rooster and the crying of a child.
Fang Qian glanced at Yunsheng Inn, and his figure flashed to the city gate, and the originally open gate was closed tightly.
Fang Qian waved his sleeve and pushed the city gate, but there was no response from the city gate. It was expected that they were trapped in this place.
In the Yunsheng Inn, Ji Zheng was awakened by the sound of footsteps.Jun Hong hanging on the door didn't judge the danger, so he didn't stop the coming people.
"There's a ghost!" Xiaoer, who was holding the water basin and was about to clean the guest room, was startled by the child sitting facing him, and directly knocked over the water in the basin.
It just so happened that Fang Qian came in through the window, and the half of the basin of water spilled down on his face.Fang Qian, who habitually raised his sleeves to cover him, finally put down his drenched cuffs silently.
……
"Chenghui three low-grade spirit stones." The shopkeeper, who was round from the belly to the eyes, smiled and stretched out his fat hand.
Fang Qian took Lingshi's hand and said, "The first floor should not belong to the upper room."
The shopkeeper's smile remained undiminished, and he still stretched out his hand persistently: "Guest officer, you are joking, go to the room for a middle-grade spirit stone overnight."
One middle-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Fang Qian, who has only five middle-grade spirit stones so far, felt that he was rich for a short time, and became a poor man again.
But looking dignifiedly at Shu Xianjun is not enough to renege on his debt. After handing in the three spirit stones, Fang Qian led Ji Zheng out of the inn.
……
Today's Puyuan Town is completely different from yesterday, and the streets are full of people.This place is worthy of being an ancient secret realm. Most of the streets are cultivated immortals, and many of them are monks in the golden core stage.
What changed was not only the person who appeared out of thin air, but also the lively aura, which is much more docile today.Although he will still drill into Ji Zheng's body, he will line up obediently to give him a smooth time.
But most of the ghost domains are formed by the obsession of one person or many people. Only by finding the obsession can you find the exit of the ghost domain.The formation of obsessions is always related to what will happen next in this world, and it is often accompanied by a devastating crisis. If the obsession cannot be resolved, people who stray into the ghost realm are likely to die in it along with the crisis.
Fang Qian led Ji Zheng around, but he didn't see anyone who looked like the protagonist in this world.
It's just the beginning of the first day, and I'm afraid I can't see anything. Fang Qian looked at the morning tea shop next to him: "Are you hungry? Let's go have morning tea."
Looking at Fang Qian's obviously expectant eyes, Ji Zheng nodded silently.
This morning tea shop has special dishes for monks full of aura, and ordinary people can eat all kinds of food.Like an inn, any dishes with aura are outrageously expensive.
Fang Qian mixed up his budget and ordered a few breakfasts with names he hadn't heard, pushed the spiritual food to Ji Zheng, and enjoyed the usual pastries by himself.
Ji Zheng wanted to exchange the two copies with a straight face, but Fang Qian pressed his hand: "Although Huang Quan was born with obsession, the rare treasures he got during the period, including this simple meal of spiritual food, are all real. , Eating more is good for you."
As for him not planning to make a breakthrough within ten years, of course he chooses what he wants to eat, as long as he consumes a little bit of cultivation to get rid of the impurities in his body.
"Why are you so kind to me?" Ji Zheng held his chopsticks and looked at Fang Qian persistently.
Fang Qian stopped holding the sweet-scented osmanthus pancake, and said in a plausible way: "In order to harm you, let's eat well."
Ji Zheng didn't seem to take Fang Qian's words to heart, but Fang Qian lost interest in continuing to enjoy the food, and walked up to the shop owner: "Boss, is there any interesting place nearby, or is there any special day in the past few days?" ?”
"The guest officer is from another place? We don't have any famous scene in this small place, but there are two legends." There are not many people in the shop at the moment, and the little boss who is as thin as a hemp stick is doing the math. Talking one after another.
"One of them is Fenglongtan, which refers to the ditch in the west of the city. It is said that the immortal sealed a golden dragon in it, and used the dragon's energy to nourish our Puyuan Town."
Fang Qian frowned. He always felt familiar with this statement, as if he had heard it somewhere: "Then there is another one?"
"There is also a special day related to the Puyuan Festival. It is said that the day when the son Yuan ascended to the Tao, it rained all over the sky. In order to worship the son Yuan, the people specially designated the day when he ascended as the Puyuan Festival. The town was also changed to Puyuan Town."
The little boss finally let go of his calculations, and told Fang Qian with a mysterious face: "Every day, there will be golden rain in the sky. This is also the biggest festival here, so it's a coincidence that the guest officer came. Seven days later it will be Puyuan Festival."
Fang Qian was silent for a while, and said very sincerely: "Your statement doesn't seem like the young master has ascended, but it seems that the young master has passed away."
"You can't talk nonsense!" The little boss immediately changed his expression, and threw Fang Qian and Ji Zheng out together.
Fang Qian led Ji Zheng to the west of the city: "Did you hear anything?"
Ji Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Both legends have immortals, and both turned out to bless Puyuan Town. There should be a connection between the two."
"No, properly offending the boss can save Lingshi." Fang Qian smiled slightly at last Jizheng's confused eyes: "He just forgot to collect the money when he drove us out."
Ji Zheng: "..." Although the initial opinion has changed, I have to say that some of the senior brother's qualities really haven't changed at all.
It's not hard to find Fenglongtan, it's just in the western outskirts of the city. It is said that the lake is just a small river with a width of more than three feet.The pool looks very deep, and you can't see the end at a glance.
"It must be a little bigger than a small dragon to be stuffed in." Fang Qian probed the pool water, but there was no aura in it, and it seemed to be the most ordinary clear water: "But Suolongjing is so big that it can be said to be stuffed." A dragon went in, it should be similar here?"
"What is Suo Longjing?"
Fang Qian looked back at Ji Zheng, who was seriously asking questions, recalled the stories of locking the Dragon Well in many places, rubbed them together and said: "In ancient times, there was an evil dragon that caused troubles and flooded the town. It was stuffed into the well, and a bridge named Beixin Bridge was built beside the well, and he told Nielong that when the bridge was old, Nielong would be able to come out."
Ji Zheng frowned when he heard this: "Although the evil dragon is guilty, why give it hope and let it down, it's better not to give it in the first place."
Fang Qian paused for a moment, let go of Ji Zheng's hand unconsciously, and said seemingly indifferently: "You are right...let's go to the other side to see."
Eldest brother has something on his mind, he has already found out about it, but he has been afraid to ask because of his clumsy speech.Ji Zheng pinched the corner of his clothes and followed Fang Qian absent-mindedly.
But how to make him happy?
Thinking of this, Ji Zheng's eyes unconsciously drifted to the fat duck that flew to the water not far away, maybe there is no roast chicken or roast duck?
This pool or river is only four or five miles long, and its source is the mountain spring outside the city. Since Fang Qian and Ji Zheng can't leave the city now, they can only take a look at it from the side.Instead, they saw a suspicious-looking man wearing a black cloak.
This place is near the outside of the city, and there are not many people around, so it seems that the character is very abrupt.Xu Shi noticed Fang Qian's gaze, and the man looked back, his brows were like autumn moons, his eyes were like spring water, and a strand of silvery hair slipped out of his cloak.Accumulated stones are like jade, and pine trees are like emerald green. There is a kind of beauty beyond gender.
At first glance, this Jiu looks like the protagonist or a key person. Fang Qian glanced at the real protagonist Ji Zheng behind him, and his child looks better.
When he thought this way, the man walked up to Fang Qian. He was taller than Fang Qian. His cultivation was indistinguishable. There was a golden dragon pattern between his eyebrows. He said, "You are not from here." The aura around him is extremely aggressive, making people unconsciously ignore his outstanding appearance.
Fang Qian's white clothes looked equally elegant, even in front of this person.His expression remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he said after deliberation: "It is true that I only arrived at your place yesterday, senior, you are here..."
"I'm paying homage to an old man." The man interrupted Fang Qian, his voice was as cold as cold jade: "I mean you are not from this world, it's a pity."
Fang Qian was stunned and intuitively felt that what he said in this world was related to obsession, and when he was about to ask again, the person in front of him had disappeared.
Fang Qian stood by the water and pondered for a moment. The man's cultivation base was much higher than his own, and the key to breaking the game might still be his old friend.
What kind of old people are paying homage to at the edge of Fenglongtan...
"Quack quack quack!" Fang Qian turned his head subconsciously when he heard the sound of splashing water and a series of duck calls, and saw Ji Zheng hugging a fat duck and dragging it to the bank with all his strength, and the duck swam desperately into the water. No one can do anything about time.
Both of them have a fierce look on their expressions, and from a bystander's point of view, they are quite evenly matched.
Fang Qian almost burst into tears with laughter, and after admiring the duck fighting for a long time, he finally stepped forward to drag him back to the shore, but he also stepped into the water: "Huh."
He had clearly used spiritual energy to attach to his legs just now, but the water couldn't bear any spiritual energy.
Fang Qian thought for a while, raised his hand and dragged Ji Zheng and the duck back to the shore together: "Wait for me here for a while."
After he finished speaking, he took off his outer shirt and took off his hairpin, leaving only his obscene clothes and jumping into the water again.
Ji Zheng hugged the duck wetly, staring blankly at the direction where Fang Qian disappeared.He thought of the thin waist of the elder brother just now, and the long black hair scattered in the water.
The eldest brother is so handsome, he lowered his head thinking about it, and faced the duck in his arms, showing a fierce expression at the same time.
……
This Longtan is neither long nor wide, but it is a hundred feet deep. There are all kinds of fish and aquatic plants in the water, but nothing unusual can be seen.
Seeing that the clue was about to be broken, Fang Qian dived down the water to the bottom of the pool while meditating.
Spirit power cannot be used in the pool, and monks are no different from ordinary people in it.Fang Qian has survived for so long with his golden core cultivation base, but he has no way to stay below.
He subconsciously supported it with his hands, but he touched the mud in his hands. Fang Qian was stunned for a moment and gradually had a guess in his heart.
Fang Qian pulled out Junhong, and slashed towards the bottom of the pool with a sword.
After Ji Zheng processed the duck and put it on the grill, it was ready to be roasted, but Fang Qian did not come out.He looked at the pool with some worry, only to see huge waves suddenly churning out from the originally calm water.
Ji Zheng frowned and didn't intend to wait any longer, he glanced hesitantly at the clothes that the senior brother had placed on the shore.When he was about to put it into the storage bag, Fang Qian came out of the water, holding a golden bead covered with a layer of rust in his hand.
Transparent drops of water rolled down the cheeks, all the way down the collarbone and into places where the underwear could not see.
At Ji Zheng's age, he still doesn't understand words such as color granting soul and so on, but he suddenly felt that the sun was a bit glaring, so he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
When Fang Qian walked to the shore, he couldn't wait to use a cleaning technique on himself, then put on his coat again, pulled up his long hair, and then looked at the fat duck on the shore, who was dying miserably: "Are you doing this?" What?"
It was only then that Ji Zheng remembered the roast duck he had set up, and looked at Fang Qian with sparkling eyes, looking very cute: "I'm hungry, senior brother, are you hungry?"
After burning an incense stick, Fang Qian sat on the bank and watched Ji Zheng turn over the duck while brushing the sauce on it. He looked like a skilled worker.After a while, a scent wafted out, and it smelled a little familiar, very similar to the roast chicken that Ji Zheng respected from time to time during this period.
Ji Zheng tore off the duck's wings and handed it to Fang Qian: "Brother, try it."
Fang Qian took it in silence and tasted it, and the taste was really similar, with a hint of sweetness of honey in the burnt aroma, but Fang Qian tasted a lot of bitterness.
He might have made a mistake at the beginning. He was originally a wild and difficult-to-train wolf cub, but he had already sent it out, why did he pay back and pick it up?
……
Fang Qian originally wanted to find the person who wore the black cloak that day before the Puyuan Festival, but during these seven days, he was not found by the lake or in the entire city.
He also went to the temple dedicated to Gongzi Yuan, and the statue inside was like a glaring Vajra with his feet on auspicious clouds.
There are legendary murals about the son engraved on the walls of the temple, but most of the stories are slightly exaggerated due to the distortion of time.The only thing worth noting above is that this son was a member of the royal family before he became a fairy, and he has a small golden snake wrapped around his hand all year round.
Fang Qian thought about the dragon pill in the storage bag, then looked at the lazy little snake wrapped around the wrist of the "King Kong" on the mural, and suddenly felt worried that he might have guessed wrong.
In addition, the whole town is peaceful and comfortable, and there is no abnormality. Sometimes Fang Qian himself will forget that he is still in the ghost domain.Ji Zheng's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the fourth level of Qi training in just a few days.
After all, the ancient land is full of spiritual power. In fact, even Fang Qian, who ate, slept and slept all day, touched a threshold of breakthrough, but was forced down by him.
When the dawn just broke, Ji Zheng opened his eyes. He first glanced at Fang Qian who was still sleeping on the bed, and left the room quietly.
"Brother Fang, it's time to get up... Ugh!"
This is a small courtyard in Puyuan Town. The layout is elegant. Although the place is small, it is quite interesting. The most important thing is that it is an ordinary house, which can be rented without spirit stones.
Wearing a flowered dress, the festive-looking elder sister walked over from the outer door with a basin of water. Before she could finish speaking, Ji Zheng, who suddenly appeared, stretched her arms and covered her mouth.
The eldest sister is the owner of this house named Huaru, she is cheerful and hospitable, the only problem is that she is a little too hospitable.Since Fang Qian moved in with Ji Zheng, she has come to report three times a day.
According to her own statement, there are so many monks in this city, but she has never seen a few younger brothers who are more handsome than Fang Qian.
"Hey little Ah Zheng, you scared me to death!" Hua Ru broke away Ji Zheng's little hand, and patted her chest exaggeratedly: "Quickly wake up your brother, if it's later, we won't be able to catch up with our Puyuan Festival parade It's a party."
"I'm already up." Fang Qian leaned against the door and yawned, his peach-like eyes half-opened and half-closed, obviously not fully awake yet.
"Brother Fang." Hua Ru pinched her throat and called out, with an uncontrollable smile in her voice, taking advantage of Fang Qian's gaze, she splashed the water in the basin on him.
Fang Qian was on guard when he passed the inn, so he used his spiritual energy to block back, poured a basin of water back on Huaru's head, and even poured water on the head of the child standing next to her: "Sister Hua, what are you doing?" ?”
Hua Ru watched Fang Qian pull Ji Zheng over, and patted the water off her body with aura, suddenly felt that standing here was a bit redundant, and looked at Fang Qian with aggrieved eyes: "Today is Puyuan Festival, we There is a custom of splashing water here to get rid of filth, this is not coming here early in the morning to help you get rid of bad luck."
Fang Qian said a little dullly: "What is the parade?"
Huaru groaned belatedly, looking at her wet clothes and circling in circles of anxiety: "What can I do, the parade is about to start, my new clothes..."
Fang Qian was dazed by her turn, and raised his hand to pat her on the shoulder.
Hua Ru had a good time, and took the opportunity to raise her hand to hug Fang Qian: "I'm happy for you, pack up and come out soon." After she finished speaking, she covered her face, twisted her thick waist, and twisted out step by step .
Fang Qian looked helplessly and turned his head, only to see Ji Zheng spread his arms, looking at Fang Qian expectantly with his dark eyes: "What are you doing again?"
"I want to hug you too." Ji Zheng looked at Fang Qian without blinking, his voice sounded a little hoarse and anxious: "Can you?"
The first time Fang Qian saw the little wolf cub make a request for the first time, his heart almost melted.There is nothing wrong with it, in fact, no matter what request Ji Zhengru made, he would never refuse, let alone a simple hug, so simple and easy that it made people feel sad, he bent over and hugged Ji Zheng directly.
Ji Zheng tilted his head and leaned on Fang Qian's shoulder. The big brother's hug was as warm as he remembered.
Fang Qian came to the street with Ji Zheng in his arms, and the streets and alleys were already crowded with people.He stayed in this city for seven days, and now he saw many familiar faces, with the same joy on their faces, looking at the street expectantly.
"Here, come! Young Master Yuan is here!" Someone on the long street yelled, the people rushed to the middle of the street, and almost at the same time, golden rain fell from the sky.
The raindrops naturally did not fall on Fang Qian's head. He held Ji Zheng with one hand, and stretched out his right hand to catch a drop of rainwater. The golden drops rolled in his palm.
Fang Qian lowered his head, brought the water drops to the tip of his nose, and sniffed lightly. He frowned slightly and then relaxed, "It really is dragon breath." Before Fang Qian could take a closer look, people around pushed him to move towards the middle.
Not far away, the sound of majestic war drums and the man's vigorous singing came over at the same time. It was obviously supposed to sing praises to the immortals who ascended to immortality, but what they sang was Wu Gexi in battle armor, with banners covering the sun and falling arrows.
This is clearly a battle song.
Fang Qian patted the shoulder of the person in front of him: "Excuse me, isn't this song about Gongzi Yuan?"
"Of course, this is Mr. Yimei's song." The man looked at Fang Qian suspiciously: "I sing it every year, haven't you heard it?"
Fang Qian didn't answer and then asked: "But isn't this singing about war?"
"That's right, Young Master Yuan is our prince and the God of War. The beginning of the song is the scene when he was leading the army." After the man answered impatiently, he saw a man standing in the distance carrying a huge Dancing in the sky on the drum, stepping on the drum and making a sound of the drum, the song was also sung by him, and it sounded majestic.
"Look, that's the young master!" As that person approached, the golden rain became heavier and heavier, even to the point of blinding his eyes.
The golden rain contained dragon energy, which was a rare nourishment for ordinary people. Fang Qian didn't even use spiritual power to protect his body, and he could only see a hazy figure through the rain.He thought for a while and used his spiritual power to gently brush away the crowd in front, trying to get as close to the center as possible.
Ji Zheng buried his head in Fang Qian's arms from beginning to end, not letting him see his expression.
He didn't know why, when the golden rain fell on his body, it penetrated directly from the skin into the body, and even scalded all the way from the meridians into the lungs.
Ji Zheng's whole body was burned red, but when the golden liquid completely melted into his body, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.He could feel that the golden rain was very important to him, so he gritted his teeth and endured it no matter how hot it was.
When Fang Qian was about to get under the huge drum, he vaguely saw that there was an extra person on the drum, and the golden rain blocked his appearance.
"Anyone who pretends to be him deserves to die." Standing behind "Gongzi Yuan", the man acted as if he was holding him in his arms, his movements were gentle but with strong hatred.
Fang Qian felt uneasy and quickly jumped forward.However, faster than him was the slit throat of the person on the drum, and the blood mixed with the golden rain fell down.
The sound of singing and drums stopped completely with the fall of the man, and the people around were still immersed in the excitement just now, even though the sound was stagnant, they did not react, and they were still praying to their "gods" for more golden rain. a bit more.
There were also immortal monarchs with a cultivation level above Jindan who realized that something was wrong, and pierced the man with magic spells and sword lights. At this moment, the golden rain that filled the sky suddenly stopped.
"Wait a minute!" Fang Qian knew that this had happened once before, but if he didn't stop it, he and Ji Zheng would also die here.
The man snapped his fingers with one hand, and all the attacks disappeared in smoke.At the same time, apart from Fang Qian and Ji Zheng, Jin Yu and the people around him seemed to be frozen, and they looked at everything in front of them with terrified expressions.
The man looked at Fang Qian with a half-smile: "Are you calling me?"
Fang Qian resisted the pressure to avoid those people who were fixed, walked up to the person who came, and saw that the person with hair as beautiful as snow was the person by the pool: "You are the golden dragon."
"Do you know me?"
"I don't know, but Fenglongtan pays homage to the deceased, hates son Yuan so much that he can't even tolerate a substitute for him, it should be the golden dragon in the story."
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a half-mocking half-smile: "You are right, I am the legendary golden dragon who was sealed in the pool by the immortal and nourished this land with dragon energy."
Fang Qian didn't have more opportunities to verify his guess, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "But you are not sealed, and the person under the pool is not you."
The man seemed to have heard some joke: "Of course, this is just a thief who stole my dragon core and dragon energy, so that I can ascend and leave merit and dragon energy to nourish this city. Get back what belongs to you?"
After he finished speaking, he seemed impatient: "I waited for 1000 years to regain my human form. You are indeed unlucky as an outsider, but I don't have much time left, and I don't have time to continue listening to your last words... "
Fang Qian rushed to talk before he finished speaking: "But no one ascended to the sky back then, and there was indeed one person who was sealed at the bottom of the pool."
As if he was afraid that the golden dragon would not believe it, he took out the dragon pill from the bottom of the pond: "This is what he has been holding in his hand, but is it yours?"
In the next moment, the dragon pill flew into the golden dragon's hand out of thin air, and the black air around his body was visible to the naked eye, which was a sign of being possessed: "You lied to me."
"That fairy never ascended to the ascension, and he was always the one who was sealed back then. Let me guess, he replaced..." Fang Qian was sent flying by the golden dragon's palm before he finished speaking, and he subconsciously protected Ji Zheng, slid on the ground with one hand for several meters before regaining his footing.
He knew that his words would anger the dragon, but he was told to give them seven days in this broken place, but in fact he was only given this moment from beginning to end. If he didn't stop the golden dragon, he would bloodbath the entire town every minute.
When I first arrived in the secret realm, I met ancient mythical beasts that had long been extinct, and I didn't know whether to say they were lucky or not.
Ji Zheng was well protected by Fang Qian, and he was not injured in the slightest.He was a little annoyed, annoyed that he was always afraid of causing trouble to his senior brother, but in the end he became the one who dragged him down.
He didn't want to continue to be a burden, but found that he couldn't break free from Fang Qian's arm.Fang Qian obviously couldn't distract himself from himself, but subconsciously held himself firmly in his arms.
To Senior Brother, is oneself very important?
