Q: What kind of experience is it like to experience the most exciting version of Yujian-style parkour along the nine-curved corridor in an imperial city where thousands of people live?
Answer: Very cool, super cool, the kind of cool you can't imagine.
Although it may be regarded as mentally retarded by passers-by.
Li Canran was a little regretful that Xiaotong was not able to witness this scene, it was really not the right time for him to sleep deeply.
The imperial city is huge, and there are more than ten alleys in Qingxingfang alone. The light and dark are interlinked. From the windows on the top of one building, you can see the windows on the top of the other.
Different from the gorgeous and luxurious scene next to the imperial palace, in the different light and dark alleys of Qingxingfang, you can clearly see the hostility and irritability on people's faces, like two worlds, one bright and one dark.
Here, there is no long line of ceremonial guards followed by luan chariots and phoenix chariots, there are no neatly decorated palace people who bow their heads and walk rigorously, there are no high-spirited young monks who come from various states to participate in the mountain and sea ceremony, and there is no bright and refreshing atmosphere under the sun. .
The smell here is like a dried apple that has been rotten in the sun. Although the sun that broke through the clouds still covered the road, you can clearly feel the difference.
Li Canran saw a few women dressed as prostitutes, their heads were covered with crystal jewelry, like branches covered with snow, sitting on the roof talking and laughing.
He also heard the sound of iron forging swords.
"Bang, bang, bang..." One sound seemed endless, echoing in these alleys.
Then, he saw Yu Zizhen.
After jumping down from Zui Shanhe, Li Canran asked, "Why are you here?"
His voice came from under the black cloth, it sounded silly, so he took off the cloth covering his face.
Yu Zizhen looked at him for a while, and admired sincerely: "If I hadn't seen you just now, you can be said to be very well dressed, and no one would recognize you."
Li Canran came to a sudden: "So it was you, I said it was like someone was following me."
Yu Zizhen said lazily: "Your senses are quite keen, and I deliberately hid my breath."
"Let's go into the room and talk." Li Canran said.
There is a tea shop next to it, and there is no one there.
They sat down in a corner.
No one wanted to order tea, so Li Canran said to the waiter who came to receive him: "Let's sit for a while and leave."
Xiaoer said: "You two are here for the first time."
The two do not know why.
Xiao Er turned around and called the boss who was tall and had an unfriendly face.
The boss raised one thick eyebrow, and cursed angrily: "Get out."
"..."
"A young man who came to participate in the Shanhai Grand Ceremony? Zhongzhou is a small place where you are. How dare you come here to play wild."
"A pot of snow grass, thank you." Li Canran said.
The boss put on a look of "that's about the same", "You're a smart boy, otherwise I'll drive people away. Although I haven't touched the matter of cultivation for a long time, it must be no problem to clean up you two little trash."
He gave a rough warning and then left, his voice gradually drifting away.
Xiao Er said to them: "The tea will be ready soon, please wait a moment."
Li Canran looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Why have you come to Zhongzhou?"
Yu Zizhen smiled and said: "It's fun, it's rare to come out and see the world."
"When did you see me?"
"just now."
After a while, Xiao Er came over with a teapot and teacup in his arms. The small cup was made of ceramics, with some kind of fairy grass printed on it, which looked very delicate.
Yu Zizhen said: "Would you like to go to Shuangyan Square together, I heard people say it's interesting."
"I dont go."
"busy?"
Li Canran said: "Yes, the mission of the sect, we have to go first."
He originally thought that Yu Zizhen was looking for something important to him, and he wanted to sit down and talk slowly, but he didn't expect him to have nothing to do.
If I had known earlier, I would not have entered this teahouse.
"Pay the bill." Li Canran put a Lingyuan stone on the table, and was about to get up.
Xiao Er said, "You haven't drunk this tea yet."
Yu Zizhen said: "I'll drink, what's the hurry, isn't there someone sitting here?"
Xiao Er took the tea tray and backed away.
When Li Canran pushed the chair away, he said, "Wait."
Yu Zizhen took out a piece of human skin-mask from the storage bag, "I happen to have a few more here, so I'll share one with you generously."
Li Canran took the thing he threw from the air, was startled, and said after reacting: "Thanks."
Yu Zizhen smiled, "You're welcome."
He sat on his seat and poured himself tea.
The clear tea fragrance of Piaoxuecao slowly permeates the whole tea house, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Yu Zizhen felt that there was still no wine to drink.
Li Canran inquired about the situation at the three city gates. Although the south gate was closer to the palace, it was also the position with the most guards of all levels, while the guards at the east and north gates were about the same.
But he knows in his heart that what he sees now is likely to be only the surface, and the guards hiding in the dark may rush out from somewhere at any time.
Still need to find out.
In order to learn more information, Li Canran found Yun Le, who left without saying goodbye at the sacrificial altar of the Shanhai Grand Ceremony before, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Yun Le was very talkative, although he didn't understand why he wanted to leave suddenly, but he was smart enough not to ask.
He has stayed in Zhongzhou for such a long time, and he has already seen the warmth and coldness of people's hearts, so he still has feelings for those who were in the same sect before, and he will naturally do his best to help if he can.
"Go to my place." Yun Le said.
"Where do you live?" Li Canran asked.
Yun Le said a name, not too far from the royal palace.
He said a little ashamedly: "I haven't saved enough money to buy a house, I just rented a small courtyard."
Fortunately, the courtyard is fairly clean, with all the furniture and decorations that should be there, so it is not particularly embarrassing to use it to clean up the dust for friends.
When Li Canran came to his house and Yun Le pushed open the door of a prepared room, she knew that he had misunderstood her meaning and said, "I don't want to live with you."
Yun Le: "Huh?"
Li Canran: "I just want to ask you about the situation in Zhongzhou."
"Oh……"
Yun Le scratched his head, knowing that he had misunderstood, and said, "Hey, let's go outside and talk about it."
The hall outside was very narrow, Li Canran sat on a chair and said, "You don't need to pour tea."
Yun Le was no longer busy, and sat down, thought of a topic casually and greeted: "Brother Xie, have you visited a few places in the past two days in Zhongzhou, have you ever been to the auction house?"
Li Canran asked curiously, "The auction house?"
"In Shuangyan Square, there is a very big auction house." Yun Le became interested and introduced to him, "Everything is auctioned in it. Not long ago, a pair of shark slaves appeared, which is rare."
Shark slave?
"What is that, a shark?" He had only heard of it in legends, but he didn't expect it to exist in reality.
"Yes, they look very similar to humans, but they are beautiful, and they can breathe freely underwater." Yun Le said, "The pair of shark slaves sold for a sky-high price."
Li Canran understood that they were probably for fun.
It's not even clear if they are real sharks.
Yun Le said: "It is said that the one who paid for their auction is the fourth prince of the royal family."
"Who?"
"Xuan Xia, don't you know?" Yun Le recalled, "I remember that he seems to be practicing in the Demon God Sect. Brother Xie, you should have seen him."
Li Canran nodded, he had an impression of this person.
When I was at the sacrificial altar before, I had met his eyes, and I couldn't describe the feeling.
Yun Le continued: "In addition to the auction house in Shuangyan Square, there is also the underground monster arena, which is also a very lively place. They—"
Li Canran had no choice but to interrupt him, "I didn't come to ask you about these things."
He was just about to make his intention clear when he suddenly felt a large wave of breath approaching quickly.
Even Yun Le, who had no self-cultivation, felt it, and immediately changed his face and looked outside.
It is the guard of honor of the royal family, and there is also a white cloud sedan chair pulled by cranes.The crane fell to the ground, and the cloud sedan also landed lightly on the ground.
Li Canran stood up, his eyes sank.
The person who came was Xuan Xia, the fourth prince that Yun Le talked about.
How could he be here?
Is it because of myself?
What is the purpose of his coming...
In an instant, countless questions flashed through Li Canran's mind, and the vitality in his body was tense, ready to turn around and leave immediately if something went wrong.
Yun Le was shocked for a while, and he didn't know why this grand master came here.But he knew very well in his heart that it was definitely not for himself, but for the people who stayed with him.
How did the Fourth Prince find this place?
Could it be that he was being followed?
Different from the frozen expressions on their faces, Xuan Xia's expression was very relaxed, and he said, "Why, I'm surprised that I came?"
He said this to Li Canran.
He walked in from outside the courtyard and naturally sat in front of them.
Both Yun Le and Li Canran stood, not knowing which one was singing in the scene before them.
"Sit down," Xuan Xia said.
Li Canran didn't move, and finally spoke, "Senior brother is here to look for me?"
He intuitively felt that the people in front of him looked at him strangely, but he didn't know exactly where the strangeness was. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
What Xuan Xia was wearing was still the complicated brocade robe from the Shanhai Grand Ceremony, but the style was the same, and something else was changed.
He has a very handsome appearance, with a wicked and light smile on his face.
"I remember that the last time I saw you was in Baiyang Prefecture, I didn't expect to come to Zhongzhou by myself right now."
Li Canran recalled.
When he saw the prince in front of him in a bathing pool in Baiyang Prefecture, he thought it was a bit strange that he suddenly came looking for him.
He said those words without beginning and end, and he couldn't figure out what his intentions were.
Xuan Xia made it clear this time, "Follow me to the palace."
"Why did I go there with you?" Li Canran asked with a frown, feeling a little more vigilant.
Xuan Xia said, "I invite you to go."
"If I don't want to go." Li Canran said, "Just you and the people you brought can't stop me."
Xuan Xia was a little surprised when he heard his words.
He smiled, "Don't be nervous, baby."
The last two words behind him were sound-transmitted, as if they were spoken close to Li Canran's ear, with an extremely frivolous tone.
Everyone in the imperial city knew about his sexuality, but the two in front of him were still foolishly kept in the dark.
Yun Le saw that Li Canran's expression suddenly changed.
His breath-like voice continued to be heard next to his ears, "Since I saw you take off your clothes last time, I have been obsessed with it, even in my sleep at night, you are stunning."
Li Canran endured the nausea in his heart, looked at him and said calmly: "Everyone in the sect knows that I came to Zhongzhou, you should know who my master is."
The corner of Xuan Xia's mouth twitched amusedly, "And then?"
Too lazy to talk nonsense with him, Li Canran stroked Zui Shanhe's sword hilt.
"I'm here today as a simple invitation. If you don't want to, I won't force it." Xuan Xia said.
He shrugged and stood up, intending to walk out of the house.
Yun Le quickly stepped aside.
His last words also entered Li Canran's ears via sound transmission.
"I look forward to the day you fall into my hands, and the way you cry when you can't bear it, it will be very touching."
……
After Xuan Xia left in the cloud sedan, Li Canran still felt like he was being watched by a poisonous snake.
He couldn't figure out why this person made a special trip here.
Just want to annoy him?Or do you really think you'll accept an invitation that sounds ridiculous?
The sticky and cold words seemed to be still echoing in his ears.
Yun Le was still in a state of bewilderment, and didn't understand what happened just now.
However, there was a high probability that he was being followed.
He saw that the people around him were in a bad mood, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Li Canran said.
After looking around outside the house and making sure that there was no one there, he hastily informed him of his future intentions.It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, he still has to leave as soon as possible.
Yun Le frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, he was only familiar with the Imperial Academy, and really didn't know anything else.
Li Canran said regretfully, "It's okay, just forget about it."
It seems that he can only rely on himself.
Before that, it's better to get the forbidden technique done first, otherwise there will be no cards to draw near, and there will always be a feeling of being besieged from all sides and enemies everywhere.
Especially after experiencing perverted harassment just now, he felt that it was time for him to dig up the corpse.
Sure enough, the days in Zhongzhou are very long.
The ratio of the hours of day to day is about three to one.
That is to say, there are twelve hours in a day, and the sky is bright for nine hours.
You can't do bad things when it's not dark, and you can't wear your newly bought night clothes. This is the point.
In addition, there is no Xiaotong around, and no one to scout the way for him, this operation is very likely to be discovered.
Li Canran suddenly felt that maybe he and Xiao Tong were the true love.
When the sky got darker, the whole of Zhongzhou was lit with lanterns.
If you look from the sky in a cloud boat, you can find that this terrain is like a colander, and all the lit lights make this spoon more brilliant.
Unknowingly, he touched the location of the mausoleum, and the surrounding area was quiet.
Only the dead branches were blown by the wind, making a creaking sound.
The mausoleum is still dark, because there are few people in the vicinity.
Li Canran took out a piece of spiritual language paper, on which was engraved the No. 11 of the earthly branch of the spiritual language, the art of folding fire.
He threw the Lingling paper into the air, and soon, the small paper fluttered and turned into a flaming moth, illuminating the small square in front of him.
This tomb is very vast, but the tombstones are scattered all over the place. There are even grass growing very high on the graves, but there is not even a tombstone.
The fire-breaking moths flew slowly in front, illuminating the words engraved on one tombstone after another.
More than ten pieces in a row are common, with the words "Tomb of xxxx", and some have no names, only posthumous titles or the names given to them by the world when they were alive, but there is no beginning or end.
For example, the one in front of you, "The Great Hero Who Helps the World and the People", and the one next door, "The World's No. [-] Sword Cultivator", seem to imply mutual perfection.
Some erected monuments, but nothing was written on them, and a bunch of shriveled flowers and wine were placed in front of the monument.
He dug up several graves without steles, and picked out several complete skeletons.
While scolding himself for being so wicked, Li Canran happily put the picked out intact bones into the storage bag.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he quickly covered his face with a human skin-mask, and then under the double protection of the night clothes, he planned to find a hiding place in the huge imperial city that would not be easily discovered by others.
"Are you done?"
Under the moonlight, Zhou Rong's cool voice sounded suddenly.
Li Canran raised his head in a little panic, and realized that he had been captured.
He blinked his eyes, looked at the mud and sand on his hands in embarrassment, and subconsciously hid behind him.
"Extend your hand." Zhou Rong said.
Li Canran hesitated for a while, but still took out his hand.
Zhou Rong took out a bag of water from the storage bag and washed him.The delicate water flows through the fingertips, washing away the black sand and restoring it to its original white color.
Li Canran was a little at a loss for Zhou Rong's sudden gentleness, and retracted his fingers.
Obviously counting, the person in front of him is much younger than him and has more burdens to bear.He seemed to be the one being cared for.
He finally realized this and decided to reflect on it.
"How do you know I'm here?" He asked, tearing off the human skin-mask from his face.
Zhou Rong didn't answer his question, but said: "I told you, don't hide anything from me."
"It's my fault." Li Canran voluntarily admitted his mistake.
Leaning against a tombstone, he swung his palm, and the still-burning Lingzhi moth instantly extinguished the fire and fell to the ground.
Only the watery moonlight remained between the sky and the earth, and it was extremely quiet.
"I want to learn a forbidden technique, so I came here." Li Canran said.
Zhou Rong asked: "Forbidden technique?"
"Well, it's similar to the technique of manipulating the dead." Although it was for the purpose of learning, research and life-saving, it still felt too weird to say it from the mouth.
Li Canran was silent for a while, and suddenly a strange thought came into his mind, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong:?
Li Canran's eyes changed, and he said coldly: "Don't move." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Rong's face, groping around his mandible for a long time.
No human skin was touched - the mask.
The person in front of him was indeed Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong's jaw moved, seeing the reason for his inexplicable behavior, and asked, "Who do you think I am?"
"It's not a bad thing to be careful." Li Canran said.
To make it up to him, she gave him a comforting peck on the mouth.
Zhou Rong didn't like him, and asked: "Who did you see today?"
Knowing that he could no longer hide it, Li Canran had no choice but to confess: "Yu Zizhen, he has also come to Zhongzhou."
Zhou Rong's eyes froze, unable to guess the purpose of the man's coming, he said, "Stay away from him."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Zhou Rong changed his tone and asked, "Have you not recognized me until now?"
Li Canran looked into his eyes, he was very familiar with the emotion in it, but he was not sure.
He said, "If I could leave a mark on you, there would be no mistake."
Zhou Rong looked at him fixedly.
Li Canran hugged his neck, wanted to bite his side neck, but was afraid that his mouth would hurt him, so he sighed and kissed it lightly.
Zhou Rong felt itchy on his neck, and whispered in his ear, "I really like you."
He hugged the person in his arms tighter, "How much do you like it?"
"I like it very much." Li Canran said.He thought of what happened when he first met Zhou Rong when he first wore it, and couldn't help laughing, "If you can wear the skirt again, I will like you even more."
"..." Zhou Rong said, "How dare you mention that."
Just because he lost the bet in the competition, he was forced to wear a Taoist skirt to clean the climbing ladder of Tushen Peak, still under the witness of Tang Xingdan.If this matter were someone else, he would never forgive him, but it happened to be this person in his arms.
Li Canran asked: "Will you be angry with me?"
Zhou Rong said, "No."
"That's good."
Li Canran thought of the business, broke free from his arms, and asked, "Are you really planning to enter the palace?"
"Ah."
Zhou Rong looked at the night sky over Zhongzhou, the coldness and hatred that had been brewing in his eyes became more and more serious.
He said: "I have already confirmed that the murderer who killed my family is indeed a member of the royal family. I can feel the breath of that person, and I can't be wrong."
Li Canran quietly listened to his narration.
"But I still don't know how many accomplices there are in the royal family." Zhou Rong said, "But I will come again sooner or later. When I am strong enough, I will completely overthrow this imperial city."
"Do they know you?" Li Canran asked.
Zhou Rong shook his head, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, "They knew that a child was rescued, and it was an elder from the sect that I knew who rescued me. We fled to Cangzhou at that time, but we were still chased by the pursuers. On it, the elder who saved me died, and I escaped by luck."
"Cangzhou?" Li Canran didn't know why, but a familiar feeling suddenly rose in his heart, "What happened a few years ago?"
"It has been 12 years since now, so they must not recognize me." Zhou Rong said.
12 years ago...
Almost matched.
Li Canran thought of a letter he had intercepted in the Qin family in Cangzhou before, sent by the young master of the Qin family to Gu Lingmen. The secrets mentioned in the letter were very similar to what happened to Zhou Rong.
But would this be too coincidental?
But in the original book, it is true that Zhou Rong cultivated in the Ancient Spirit Sect, and was cared for by many elders.
With a calm tone, Zhou Rong continued to talk about his past.In the vast night, his voice sounded particularly lonely.A person has experienced so many things alone since childhood, and his heart is tougher than anyone else.
If this is the price to pay for becoming stronger, you can only choose to bear it silently.
Li Canran looked at the person in front of him, feeling sour in his heart, and slowly kissed his lips.
A crane cloak covered the two of them, resisting the cold air coming from outside.
Probably because it was done too intensely, but because of the mist, Li Canran's eyelashes were stained with a little bit of water.
The tomb on the side is still quiet and dark, only when it is shrouded in moonlight, it looks a little less gloomy and terrifying.
On the second day, the Shanhai Grand Ceremony was still in progress, with a sea of people and voices.
The much-anticipated link of subduing monsters.
It was Zhou Rong's turn.
He sensed a faint breath of blood in the cloud sedan group of the royal guard of honor.Similar to the blood flowing in his body, the demon energy surrounding the golden core in the dantian in his body rose a little excitedly.
If you can subdue the ferocious white flame monster that was released in front of you, you will be able to enter the palace to receive the reward.
And as long as you step into the palace, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere.
But he was sure that he would kill the person sitting in the sedan chair unconsciously without bloodshed, and take back the blood of the Dragon God that was tampered with by others.
Li Canran stood in the crowd, staring at Zhou Rong intently.
Not only him, almost everyone's eyes were engraved on him.
Since there is no way out, let's fight.
Zhou Rong pulled out the Mengtian God beside him, and the Purple Flame Flood Dragon hovered above his head, howling resonantly.

Spoiler alert, there will be a re-reading of this volume.
Answer: Very cool, super cool, the kind of cool you can't imagine.

It is the guard of honor of the royal family, and there is also a white cloud sedan chair pulled by cranes.The crane fell to the ground, and the cloud sedan also landed lightly on the ground.
Li Canran stood up, his eyes sank.
The person who came was Xuan Xia, the fourth prince that Yun Le talked about.
How could he be here?
Is it because of myself?
What is the purpose of his coming...
In an instant, countless questions flashed through Li Canran's mind, and the vitality in his body was tense, ready to turn around and leave immediately if something went wrong.
Yun Le was shocked for a while, and he didn't know why this grand master came here.But he knew very well in his heart that it was definitely not for himself, but for the people who stayed with him.
How did the Fourth Prince find this place?
Could it be that he was being followed?
Different from the frozen expressions on their faces, Xuan Xia's expression was very relaxed, and he said, "Why, I'm surprised that I came?"
He said this to Li Canran.
He walked in from outside the courtyard and naturally sat in front of them.
Both Yun Le and Li Canran stood, not knowing which one was singing in the scene before them.
"Sit down," Xuan Xia said.
Li Canran didn't move, and finally spoke, "Senior brother is here to look for me?"
He intuitively felt that the people in front of him looked at him strangely, but he didn't know exactly where the strangeness was. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
What Xuan Xia was wearing was still the complicated brocade robe from the Shanhai Grand Ceremony, but the style was the same, and something else was changed.
He has a very handsome appearance, with a wicked and light smile on his face.
"I remember that the last time I saw you was in Baiyang Prefecture, I didn't expect to come to Zhongzhou by myself right now."
Li Canran recalled.
When he saw the prince in front of him in a bathing pool in Baiyang Prefecture, he thought it was a bit strange that he suddenly came looking for him.
He said those words without beginning and end, and he couldn't figure out what his intentions were.
Xuan Xia made it clear this time, "Follow me to the palace."
"Why did I go there with you?" Li Canran asked with a frown, feeling a little more vigilant.
Xuan Xia said, "I invite you to go."
"If I don't want to go." Li Canran said, "Just you and the people you brought can't stop me."
Xuan Xia was a little surprised when he heard his words.
He smiled, "Don't be nervous, baby."
The last two words behind him were sound-transmitted, as if they were spoken close to Li Canran's ear, with an extremely frivolous tone.
Everyone in the imperial city knew about his sexuality, but the two in front of him were still foolishly kept in the dark.
Yun Le saw that Li Canran's expression suddenly changed.
His breath-like voice continued to be heard next to his ears, "Since I saw you take off your clothes last time, I have been obsessed with it, even in my sleep at night, you are stunning."
Li Canran endured the nausea in his heart, looked at him and said calmly: "Everyone in the sect knows that I came to Zhongzhou, you should know who my master is."
The corner of Xuan Xia's mouth twitched amusedly, "And then?"
Too lazy to talk nonsense with him, Li Canran stroked Zui Shanhe's sword hilt.
"I'm here today as a simple invitation. If you don't want to, I won't force it." Xuan Xia said.
He shrugged and stood up, intending to walk out of the house.
Yun Le quickly stepped aside.
His last words also entered Li Canran's ears via sound transmission.
"I look forward to the day you fall into my hands, and the way you cry when you can't bear it, it will be very touching."
……
After Xuan Xia left in the cloud sedan, Li Canran still felt like he was being watched by a poisonous snake.
He couldn't figure out why this person made a special trip here.
Just want to annoy him?Or do you really think you'll accept an invitation that sounds ridiculous?
The sticky and cold words seemed to be still echoing in his ears.
Yun Le was still in a state of bewilderment, and didn't understand what happened just now.
However, there was a high probability that he was being followed.
He saw that the people around him were in a bad mood, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Li Canran said.
After looking around outside the house and making sure that there was no one there, he hastily informed him of his future intentions.It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, he still has to leave as soon as possible.
Yun Le frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, he was only familiar with the Imperial Academy, and really didn't know anything else.
Li Canran said regretfully, "It's okay, just forget about it."
It seems that he can only rely on himself.
Before that, it's better to get the forbidden technique done first, otherwise there will be no cards to draw near, and there will always be a feeling of being besieged from all sides and enemies everywhere.
Especially after experiencing perverted harassment just now, he felt that it was time for him to dig up the corpse.
Sure enough, the days in Zhongzhou are very long.
The ratio of the hours of day to day is about three to one.
That is to say, there are twelve hours in a day, and the sky is bright for nine hours.
You can't do bad things when it's not dark, and you can't wear your newly bought night clothes. This is the point.
In addition, there is no Xiaotong around, and no one to scout the way for him, this operation is very likely to be discovered.
Li Canran suddenly felt that maybe he and Xiao Tong were the true love.
When the sky got darker, the whole of Zhongzhou was lit with lanterns.
If you look from the sky in a cloud boat, you can find that this terrain is like a colander, and all the lit lights make this spoon more brilliant.
Unknowingly, he touched the location of the mausoleum, and the surrounding area was quiet.
Only the dead branches were blown by the wind, making a creaking sound.
The mausoleum is still dark, because there are few people in the vicinity.
Li Canran took out a piece of spiritual language paper, on which was engraved the No. 11 of the earthly branch of the spiritual language, the art of folding fire.
He threw the Lingling paper into the air, and soon, the small paper fluttered and turned into a flaming moth, illuminating the small square in front of him.
This tomb is very vast, but the tombstones are scattered all over the place. There are even grass growing very high on the graves, but there is not even a tombstone.
The fire-breaking moths flew slowly in front, illuminating the words engraved on one tombstone after another.
More than ten pieces in a row are common, with the words "Tomb of xxxx", and some have no names, only posthumous titles or the names given to them by the world when they were alive, but there is no beginning or end.
For example, the one in front of you, "The Great Hero Who Helps the World and the People", and the one next door, "The World's No. [-] Sword Cultivator", seem to imply mutual perfection.
Some erected monuments, but nothing was written on them, and a bunch of shriveled flowers and wine were placed in front of the monument.
He dug up several graves without steles, and picked out several complete skeletons.
While scolding himself for being so wicked, Li Canran happily put the picked out intact bones into the storage bag.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he quickly covered his face with a human skin-mask, and then under the double protection of the night clothes, he planned to find a hiding place in the huge imperial city that would not be easily discovered by others.
"Are you done?"
Under the moonlight, Zhou Rong's cool voice sounded suddenly.
Li Canran raised his head in a little panic, and realized that he had been captured.
He blinked his eyes, looked at the mud and sand on his hands in embarrassment, and subconsciously hid behind him.
"Extend your hand." Zhou Rong said.
Li Canran hesitated for a while, but still took out his hand.
Zhou Rong took out a bag of water from the storage bag and washed him.The delicate water flows through the fingertips, washing away the black sand and restoring it to its original white color.
Li Canran was a little at a loss for Zhou Rong's sudden gentleness, and retracted his fingers.
Obviously counting, the person in front of him is much younger than him and has more burdens to bear.He seemed to be the one being cared for.
He finally realized this and decided to reflect on it.
"How do you know I'm here?" He asked, tearing off the human skin-mask from his face.
Zhou Rong didn't answer his question, but said: "I told you, don't hide anything from me."
"It's my fault." Li Canran voluntarily admitted his mistake.
Leaning against a tombstone, he swung his palm, and the still-burning Lingzhi moth instantly extinguished the fire and fell to the ground.
Only the watery moonlight remained between the sky and the earth, and it was extremely quiet.
"I want to learn a forbidden technique, so I came here." Li Canran said.
Zhou Rong asked: "Forbidden technique?"
"Well, it's similar to the technique of manipulating the dead." Although it was for the purpose of learning, research and life-saving, it still felt too weird to say it from the mouth.
Li Canran was silent for a while, and suddenly a strange thought came into his mind, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong:?
Li Canran's eyes changed, and he said coldly: "Don't move." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Rong's face, groping around his mandible for a long time.
No human skin was touched - the mask.
The person in front of him was indeed Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong's jaw moved, seeing the reason for his inexplicable behavior, and asked, "Who do you think I am?"
"It's not a bad thing to be careful." Li Canran said.
To make it up to him, she gave him a comforting peck on the mouth.
Zhou Rong didn't like him, and asked: "Who did you see today?"
Knowing that he could no longer hide it, Li Canran had no choice but to confess: "Yu Zizhen, he has also come to Zhongzhou."
Zhou Rong's eyes froze, unable to guess the purpose of the man's coming, he said, "Stay away from him."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Zhou Rong changed his tone and asked, "Have you not recognized me until now?"
Li Canran looked into his eyes, he was very familiar with the emotion in it, but he was not sure.
He said, "If I could leave a mark on you, there would be no mistake."
Zhou Rong looked at him fixedly.
Li Canran hugged his neck, wanted to bite his side neck, but was afraid that his mouth would hurt him, so he sighed and kissed it lightly.
Zhou Rong felt itchy on his neck, and whispered in his ear, "I really like you."
He hugged the person in his arms tighter, "How much do you like it?"
"I like it very much." Li Canran said.He thought of what happened when he first met Zhou Rong when he first wore it, and couldn't help laughing, "If you can wear the skirt again, I will like you even more."
"..." Zhou Rong said, "How dare you mention that."
Just because he lost the bet in the competition, he was forced to wear a Taoist skirt to clean the climbing ladder of Tushen Peak, still under the witness of Tang Xingdan.If this matter were someone else, he would never forgive him, but it happened to be this person in his arms.
Li Canran asked: "Will you be angry with me?"
Zhou Rong said, "No."
"That's good."
Li Canran thought of the business, broke free from his arms, and asked, "Are you really planning to enter the palace?"
"Ah."
Zhou Rong looked at the night sky over Zhongzhou, the coldness and hatred that had been brewing in his eyes became more and more serious.
He said: "I have already confirmed that the murderer who killed my family is indeed a member of the royal family. I can feel the breath of that person, and I can't be wrong."
Li Canran quietly listened to his narration.
"But I still don't know how many accomplices there are in the royal family." Zhou Rong said, "But I will come again sooner or later. When I am strong enough, I will completely overthrow this imperial city."
"Do they know you?" Li Canran asked.
Zhou Rong shook his head, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, "They knew that a child was rescued, and it was an elder from the sect that I knew who rescued me. We fled to Cangzhou at that time, but we were still chased by the pursuers. On it, the elder who saved me died, and I escaped by luck."
"Cangzhou?" Li Canran didn't know why, but a familiar feeling suddenly rose in his heart, "What happened a few years ago?"
"It has been 12 years since now, so they must not recognize me." Zhou Rong said.
12 years ago...
Almost matched.
Li Canran thought of a letter he had intercepted in the Qin family in Cangzhou before, sent by the young master of the Qin family to Gu Lingmen. The secrets mentioned in the letter were very similar to what happened to Zhou Rong.
But would this be too coincidental?
But in the original book, it is true that Zhou Rong cultivated in the Ancient Spirit Sect, and was cared for by many elders.
With a calm tone, Zhou Rong continued to talk about his past.In the vast night, his voice sounded particularly lonely.A person has experienced so many things alone since childhood, and his heart is tougher than anyone else.
If this is the price to pay for becoming stronger, you can only choose to bear it silently.
Li Canran looked at the person in front of him, feeling sour in his heart, and slowly kissed his lips.
A crane cloak covered the two of them, resisting the cold air coming from outside.
Probably because it was done too intensely, but because of the mist, Li Canran's eyelashes were stained with a little bit of water.
The tomb on the side is still quiet and dark, only when it is shrouded in moonlight, it looks a little less gloomy and terrifying.
On the second day, the Shanhai Grand Ceremony was still in progress, with a sea of people and voices.
The much-anticipated link of subduing monsters.
It was Zhou Rong's turn.
He sensed a faint breath of blood in the cloud sedan group of the royal guard of honor.Similar to the blood flowing in his body, the demon energy surrounding the golden core in the dantian in his body rose a little excitedly.
If you can subdue the ferocious white flame monster that was released in front of you, you will be able to enter the palace to receive the reward.
And as long as you step into the palace, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere.
But he was sure that he would kill the person sitting in the sedan chair unconsciously without bloodshed, and take back the blood of the Dragon God that was tampered with by others.
Li Canran stood in the crowd, staring at Zhou Rong intently.
Not only him, almost everyone's eyes were engraved on him.
Since there is no way out, let's fight.
Zhou Rong pulled out the Mengtian God beside him, and the Purple Flame Flood Dragon hovered above his head, howling resonantly.
