Return to Yang [Fantasy]

The woods, the fire, and the screams of ghosts.

The color of the sunset glow was terribly red, the sky seemed to be shaking, like a dome about to collapse, and countless sky fires smashed down like debris...

Then, there was the severe pain of being burned by the sky fire.

Imperfect body.

Shen Qingsi woke up from the nightmare, he was panting, and couldn't recover for a while.

After gritting his teeth and enduring the severe headache, Shen Qingsi began to calm down and recall whether he had screamed just now.The wound can only be licked when alone. In front of people, the injured animal will pretend to be more proud than ever, just because he doesn't want anyone to see this embarrassment, especially Xia Zheng.

Thinking of Xia Zheng... Shen Qingsi narrowed his eyes slightly, he has been here for a long time, except for the curious scrutiny when he called himself "Nie Liang" at the beginning, he has never seen any movements, that kind of indifferent The attitude made Shen Qingbo a little puzzled, and he didn't know what his plan was?Looking at Xia Zheng's attire, he should be the mourner, but he didn't mention Shen Qingsi's own discoveries to Xia Zheng. It's one thing to want to watch a play, and the most important thing is that he doesn't think he has that. obligation.

The result of having such a completely unconscious teammate can only be Xia Zheng's suffering.There was no chance to rest at all, and as soon as night fell, he had already sneaked out of his room.

The death aura on Yuan Gan's body was so thick that it was unusual, even some of the sun-returners who had gone completely crazy might not have such a terrifying death aura, and Xia Zheng couldn't help but care about it.It is easy to say that it is really a Yang-returner, but this Yuan Gan looks sober, and he does not look like a half-returner. This makes Xia Zheng, who is a mourner, feel a little worried-could it be that after so many years, the Yang-returner? Has there been a mutation?

Regarding the matter here, compared to asking Shen Qingsi, Xia Zheng would rather choose to investigate alone.He didn't know why, Shen Qingsi brought him a sense of familiarity, but also a sense of oppression, which made him subconsciously not want to have a deep friendship with him.

Years of life as a mourner has made Xia Zheng used to acting in the dark. The token hanging on his waist emits a soft light after being infused with spiritual power. receding like a tide.After Xia Zheng briefly observed the surrounding situation, he walked towards the backyard step by step, and came to the vicinity of Ji Jia's room by mistake.

Like Shen Qingbai, he was also shocked by the clean and abnormal aura around here. Before he could think about it, the radiance from the token had already increased instantly. This uncommon phenomenon immediately made Xia Zheng feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Nine Heavens?" A male voice sounded from behind. Xia Zheng turned his head vigilantly and saw Shen Qingbai standing not far away. do what?"

"Walk around if you can't fall asleep," Shen Qingsi curled up the corners of his mouth, "I saw you looking for death as soon as I came out, and I was very relieved."

"...Mr. Shen, can't you say something nice?" Xia Zheng looked at him helplessly.

Shen Qingsi didn't answer, walked up to Xia Zheng, pointed to the token on his waist, and asked, "This, can you show me?"

"Of course." Xia Zheng reached out and took it off, and handed it to Shen Qingsi.

The whole body of this token is black, and it seems a bit heavy to start with.Shen Qingsi took it over carefully and looked at it carefully, and lightly rubbed the three characters "Nine Heavens Order" on it with his fingertips.Jiu Tianling seemed to sense his presence, and he became slightly feverish. Seeing this, Shen Qingsi smiled silently.

"Where did you get this thing?" Shen Qingbo asked without raising his head.

Xia Zheng replied truthfully: "In order to deal with the sky crack, the Shouyang Palace distributed them uniformly."

"Oh?" Shen Qingbai looked at Xia Zheng in surprise, "But you are not from Shouyang Palace, are you? When did Shouyang Palace even share the power of the Nine Heavens?"

Seeing that Shen Qingbai had no intention of giving up until he asked for clarification, Xia Zheng knew that he had no chance to investigate tonight, so he suggested: "There are too many things that happened after the sky crack, and we can't explain it clearly in a while. We might as well find Sit down somewhere and talk."

"Do you think Yuan Gan is the one who returned the sun? Is that why you stayed?" After returning to the room, after listening to Xia Zheng talk about the major events of the past ten years, Shen Qingsi couldn't help repeating, and then his thoughts drifted to other places : "The manpower of Shouyang Palace is so tight, has it reached the point where it needs to rely on outsiders to operate?"

In Xia Zheng's view, his focus was completely wrong, but looking at his somewhat disappointed expression, Xia Zheng could probably understand his mood.Thinking of the formerly powerful Shouyang Palace that can only survive now, even Xia Zheng, an outsider, can't help but want to feel emotional, let alone Shen Qingsi, who grew up in Shouyang Palace and had high hopes?

But Shen Qingsi didn't remain silent for too long, and then asked: "What is the function of this Nine Heavens Order?"

Shen Qingsi's emotional recovery was a little too fast, which surprised Xia Zheng. He was stunned for a moment, and said: "These tokens are rumored to be made from Wenyu tree branches in the north of Kunlun Mountains, and they can hold Jiutianquan. With the help of the yin-yang fish symbol on the token and the caster's body, temporarily use this part of the power for your own use. This is the only thing we know so far that can make the yang-returner leave this world completely method."

"In other words, the function of the Nine Heavens Order is unique?"

Xia Zheng nodded: "Exactly."

"Okay," Shen Qingsi said with a calm expression, "Then what do you know about Jiutian?"

"Are you asking me how many secrets of Shouyang Palace have been leaked?" Xia Zheng laughed suddenly, "Don't worry, about the Spring of Nine Heavens, apart from knowing that it is the lifeblood of heaven and earth, everything else is I don’t know anything—I don’t even know who the new head of Shouyang Palace is. You see, we mourners are just doing odd jobs for you with the nine-day order. It is impossible for us to touch the real high-level things Arrived."

When Xia Zheng said this, he thought of it as a joke on a whim.During their conversation, Shen Qingbo was always in the perspective of the questioner, which made him wonder if he could dig out some news from Shen Qingbo's mouth.He leaned forward, looked at Shen Qingsi and asked, "On the contrary, you, I wonder if there is any inside information you can disclose to me, huh?"

Shen Qingsi also cooperated, and gave him a half-smile, "What do you want to know?"

For Xia Zheng, he was really not interested in the things about Shouyang Palace. Hearing Shen Qingsi's rhetorical question, he replied casually: "Just talk about it."

Shen Qingsi smiled, but really "casually said": "Everyone knows that the five elements and two veins are the root of all things in the three realms. One of the so-called 'two veins' is the nine heavens. Countless to The power of yang gathers and condenses on the top of Kunlun Mountain, like a spring flowing, so Nine Heavens is called the Spring of Nine Heavens by the outside world. Part of these "springs" flow into the Sitian River to the southeast, and it is rumored that drinking it will not kill you."

Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Has anyone tried it?"

"Naturally there is."

"How is the result?"

"Of course it's so dead that there's not even ashes left."

"..." Xia Zheng was speechless, what should I say?Legend kills people?

Seeing his expression of choking on food, Shen Qingsi went on to say: "It's as powerful as Nine Heavens, it has the power to make people tremble just by getting close to it, and if ordinary people accidentally get even a little bit of it, their bodies will be destroyed in an instant. Completely melted, drinking such a thing directly into the stomach, exploding and dying would be cheaper for them."

Xia Zheng smiled helplessly: "Can't you say something that the world doesn't know?"

Shen Qingbai opened his eyes slightly: "Many people in Shouyang Palace died because of swallowing spring water, has it been known to everyone?"

"...Is this what you want to say?"

"Ah."

"...That's all," Xia Zheng decided to give up the topic, and asked instead, "From your tone, it seems that you are familiar with Jiutian?"

Knowing that he was just probing, Shen Qingsi smiled and said, "I am the person who has the most contact with Jiutian in this world, so it can be regarded as...an old friend of mine."

Shen Qingsi's statement is somewhat strange, but before Xia Zheng could ask, Shen Qingsi had already got up and walked to the door, and issued an order to evict Xia Zheng: "On such a dark and windy night, you sit here Listening to my story, no matter how you look at it, the atmosphere is very weird.”

As he spoke, he opened the door for Xia Zheng, and tilted his head: "Let's stop here, please."

Xia Zheng knew that he was asking something that he couldn't say, so he didn't ask anymore. When he reached the door, he stopped and looked sideways at Shen Qingbao: "I think you will stay here and wait for me Looking for it, it means that there is no plan to escape, right?"

"Huh?" Shen Qingbai looked at him for a moment, then smiled, "Where do you want me to escape to?"

Xia Zheng shook his head: "I'm just asking for proof."

Shen Qingsi raised his eyebrows, intentionally making things difficult: "How about this, tell me who handed me over to you, and I'll tell you my plan, how about it?"

"It's Shen Jiaping."

"..." Shen Qingbao was a little stunned: "You just sold him out like that?"

Xia Zheng smiled and said: "He didn't say he couldn't tell you, he just used some benefits as a condition to let me take care of you. As for the plan, he never told me, so naturally you won't know anything from me. Okay. Now, it's time for you to answer, would you like to make it easier for me?"

"Of course," Shen Qingsi looked at the darkness outside the door and said, "I will follow you until Jiaping comes to contact me."

Xia Zheng stared at him for a while, then nodded: "I hope so."

Shen Qingsi didn't want to dispel his doubts for him, and handed back the Nine Heavens Token in his hand: "Since Jiaping decided to give you this thing, you can make good use of it. If you want to go to the backyard to check tomorrow, I will work with you." go."

"Okay." Xia Zheng hung the Nine Heavens Order back on his waist, "Let me ask, what is the relationship between Shen Jiaping and you?" In the answer, he speculated about Shen Jiaping's status in Shouyang Palace. After all, although he had guaranteed what he asked for, Xia Zheng still felt that he could not trust him in his heart.

"He? He's my younger brother." Shen Qingbai sneered, "I don't know what kind of deal you made with me, but since it was he who spoke, I don't think it will be broken."

"Thank you." Xia Zheng was a little surprised by his cooperation, he nodded, and walked out without saying a word: "He cares about you very much."

"...By the way," Shen Qingsi suddenly said after he walked a certain distance, "Xia Zheng, next time you go out at night, remember to change your clothes."

"What's wrong?" Xia Zheng looked down at his clothes, it was pure black, with yin and yang fish patterns embroidered on the collar and hem, no different from other mourners.

"When I met you earlier, I shook my head and thought there was a human head floating in the Yuan family's backyard."

Xia Zheng: "..."
