The Great Sorcerer

Shortly after receiving Changtian's secret order, Wutan also received an edict from the right sage, asking them to return to the city immediately.Canaan and Haihuan naturally followed the mighty team of acolytes and began to break out of the camp. In the early morning of the day of Lixia, they boarded a bright moon cart pulled by two Bi Fangs and left the Shuangshu City where they had stayed for a month.

The bright moon chariot is a unique means of transportation for the Yuren, which is equivalent to the conch chariot of the mermaid, the horse-drawn chariot of humans and the black turtle chariot of the Wuxian tribe.The carriages were carved from a nest of giant kunpeng's saliva and the silvery down feathers of their bellies.The whole body of the carriage is a pearl-like warm and translucent white, with silver natural patterns condensed inside, as bright and clear as moonlight, hence the name Mingyue carriage.The carriages are oval in shape as a whole, and craftsmen have carved exquisite embossed patterns on the surface, and the carriages of some wealthy families are even inlaid with precious stones.The doors are also oval, with curtains hanging down, and the seats inside are covered with soft white feathers, warm in winter and cool in summer, very comfortable.Canaan was sitting alone in a bright moon car, looking through the window at the spreading earth below.Today's weather is a bit gloomy, white clouds are accumulated above the head, and only a few blue gaps can be seen occasionally.

He was very nervous.Returning to Tongtian City means that he will meet Li Gu soon.But he's not ready yet.He still hadn't progressed at all with his enchantment.In fact, this is a very normal phenomenon. After all, it takes an ordinary apprentice half a year to practice to proficiently search for spiritual consciousness in a certain range around him, but he only has a few days. For an ordinary person who is not a genius It's too much.Hai Huan didn't blame him at all, but a bit of worry began to appear on his face.On the last night before their departure, Hai Huan told him not to bring the opal when he first met the wizard, otherwise he would be noticed immediately.It's not too late to take it when he's really ready.I really couldn't hide it anymore, so I gave up my fifteenth identity and retreated temporarily, and waited for an opportunity to use another identity to approach Ligu.Anyway, as long as they successfully sneak into Tongtian City, they are already one step closer to their goal.

Canaan now feels that his future is uncertain, and he doesn't know what will happen when he arrives in the unknown feather capital.He just wants to be able to get home safely.He no longer dreamed of being someone important now.He just wants to live peacefully with Ah Shuang in the Wuxian tribe, walking on the familiar road and doing familiar things every day. Such a life full of unknowns is so exciting that he can't accept it.

But Hai Huan said that he would protect his safety, and Ah Shuang also said that he would always be by his side, so he wasn't that afraid.It's just that anxiety is always inevitable.Now he just hopes that he can live up to his expectations and not drag Haihuan and the others back.

Tongtian City is located in the southwest direction of the central part of Yumin Kingdom. Canaan and others stopped in two cities halfway, and arrived in Tongtian City three days later.

On the day of entering the city, Canaan was still dozing off in the car, until the cheers of the guard soldiers riding Bi Fang woke him up, and he opened the curtain of the car to look out in a daze.At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and a few black shadows appeared in the misty clouds.When the sunlight gradually parted to the two sides, Canaan opened his eyes wide, unable to believe the scene in front of him.

Those huge black shadows turned out to be islands suspended in the midair. I don't know what kind of force can make these large pieces of heavy land float into the air, pulling out mountain-like shadows on the ground below.These islands are large and small, scattered high and low, supporting mountains, lakes and plains, as well as bustling cities built among trees.There are tall pavilions and mansions everywhere, and the colorful light reflected on the stained glass can be seen even from a long distance.Every island is surrounded by many flight paths, and countless colorful bifangs fly around, and the huge blue-green wings reflect a dazzling halo, like colorful ribbons.The sky is so transparent that you can see through the universe, from deep to light blue, stretching behind these sky cities to the horizon, where the sun, moon and stars rotate slowly, and it seems that you can hear the sound of years passing by in your ears.

Our Bi Fang slowly drove into the middle of the islands, and through the window, we could see the smoke rising from the small islands in the distance.I was lying on the window with my whole body, and I couldn't bear to blink.I saw many white ostriches with their long tail feathers skimming the inverted cone-shaped heavy rock wall below the island. They looked peaceful and elegant. There were goshawks circling high in the sky, and their long chirping was high-pitched and desolate. But it fits so well with the bustling surroundings.

Suddenly, the largest and tallest giant island appeared in front of him.Compared with it, the islands around it became like tiny guards.The island is like a king who is proud of all heroes, suspended in the middle peacefully, and the most conspicuous thing on it is a big tree as majestic as a mountain.Even though Canaan's Moon Chariot is still far away from the island, the tree is clearly visible.Its body is silvery-white, with twisted but graceful lines. The silvery roots protrude from the huge mountain hanging upside down below the island, like a fine net wrapping the entire giant island.The crown of the tree opened like petals, and the golden leaves were layered on top of each other, undulating like clouds, bright and luxurious, and the surrounding clouds turned golden.The canopy of the tree is so huge that its shadow covers all the corners of the roofs on the island, and the sunlight is cut by the leaves into countless strands of staggered streams of light, quietly circling over the city.And above the golden canopy, there is a pure white palace with circular eaves stacked up one after another, surrounded by tall pavilions, like a pearl in a golden plate, with a layer of graceful palace brewing around it. of Holy Light.

That tree is Yuren's holy tree Jianmu, which is said to be the ladder that connects to the Supreme God Realm.

And that white palace is the Great Wilderness Temple of the Yumin Kingdom. It is the most sacred place for the Yuren.And the supreme theocratic spokesperson, the left and right sages, also lived there, their status was so high that even the Emperor Yu had to be in awe.However, the Emperor Yu is now in a coma, the Sage Zuo is critically ill, and the entire Kingdom of Yu is controlled by the Sage Right alone.

The long convoy disembarked from the port, merged into the trajectory in the city, and slid along the wide road covered with white fine sand.Many buildings on both sides look quaint and exquisite. There are vines coiled on the pillars carved with patterns, and copper bells are hung on the flying eaves. Peacocks stroll leisurely with their colorful feathers.There are vines hanging from the doors and windows on the walls, or flowers of different colors dotted around.Both sides of the road are full of firefly gardenias. The green leaves hold milky white petals, which look spotless. The flower center exudes a faint fluorescence. If it is at night, it will be as bright and moving as stars, attracting countless fireflies. When they pollinate and look up, you will see a dome woven by golden Jianmu leaves. When the wind blows, there will be a wonderful music like wind chimes among the leaves.The sun shines through countless layers of leaves, rustling one by one on every inch of the holy city, like golden water, as if you can feel them splashing on your face when you raise your head.

There were many Yuren on the roads on both sides and in mid-air.Some are walking, some are flying in the air, the wings of different colors and patterns complement each other, flying over the eaves of the pavilions.The unhurried flow of people swept away silently from both sides of the window.

Canaan was dazzled, thinking that this is Tongtian City, it is like a fairyland.He had never been to the capital of Xuanyuan Kingdom, so he wondered if their Chang'an was as magnificent.

Their convoy circled up along the trajectory around Jianmu, heading all the way to the Great Wilderness Temple at the top of Jianmu.Although the Wuxian tribe also has the Great Wilderness Temple, but compared to the Yuren's, it really pales in comparison.

Yuren's Great Wilderness Temple consists of five great palaces in total.A large palace was built in the east, west, north, south, and four directions, respectively, to enshrine the heavenly emperors in the east, west, north, south, and four directions.The Great Wilderness Hall built above the square circle of the sky in the middle is the largest palace, which enshrines the highest god of the Great Wilderness, the Great Wilderness God, and the Four Heavenly Emperors wait on the left and right.In addition, each large palace has many auxiliary hall towers, where monks with higher offerings live.There are also rows of long alleys outside the palace, where ordinary monks and guards live.

In front of the Great Wilderness Hall of the Great Wilderness Temple is the Zaitian Fangyuan paved with white jade.It was a huge square, the pure white ground was smudged with a few traces of emerald green, so clean that it could reflect the white clouds in the sky.The Dahuang Hall not far away is located on three floors of large foundations, each of which is five or six meters high. The long steps slope down, and the totem of phoenix, bird and auspicious clouds is engraved in the middle, and the winding feathers are inlaid with colored flowers. gem.The glazed decorations on the guardrail also reflect the brilliant sunlight in the blue sky, which looks radiant, as if shrouded in holy light.

The most beautiful thing is the tall and magnificent Dahuang Hall.The round white temple body is surrounded by a circle of statues of Yuren boys and girls. They are beautiful in appearance and gorgeous in costumes. Some look like they hang their heads in meditation, some look like they are praying, some seem to be about to raise their wings and dance, and some are just about to dance. You must fold your wings and bend over to pick up flowers.These statues hold up five levels of cornices, with different sculptures on each level and between each level.Counting the entire palace, there are 150 statues in total, and none of the statues overlaps with the others.And that pure and embellished white jade exudes a faint soft light, like a blurred silk, as holy and beautiful as a white lotus.

The one who welcomed Wutan and Ziyou back was another Wuxiang monk who looked younger than Ziyou, only about 30 years old.However, his face was fair, his posture was rigorous to the point of meticulousness, and he looked rather indifferent.

"The two masters have worked hard on this trip. The right sage, Your Majesty Yan, has something to do and can't come here. Please go to rest first. Your Majesty Yan will summon you tomorrow."

Wu Tan seemed to hold back a bit of displeasure on his face, but Ziyou just saluted lightly, "Thank you, Master Qiyun."

Then the Wuxiang monk named Qi Yun walked in front of Canaan again, seeing Canaan's bandage-wrapped left eye slightly surprised, but still saluted with the same humble but alienated gesture as before, "Mr. Fifteen, Mr. Ligu asked me to bring this ointment to you. He said he would visit you in two days so that you can go to rest first." After speaking, he put a small wooden box in Canaan hand.

At this time, Canaan was in a shallow state of meditation, and replied in Shiwu's usual weak tone, "Your Majesty, please send my regards to Lord Ligu."

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Canaan was taken by the attendants to a side palace of Shaohao Hall, which should be the place where he lived temporarily until the fifteenth day.The palace is not very big, but it has an independent courtyard full of green bamboos.After saluting to the fifteenth, the acolytes left one after another.Canaan was still wondering why they were so self-conscious, but after thinking about it, according to Shiwu's superficially polite but actually gloomy and withdrawn personality, he probably didn't like so many people waiting around.

This couldn't be more fitting for Canaan.He quickly locked the gate of the courtyard, checked everywhere, took out his spirit stone, and began to chant the spell of summoning.

Without turning his head, he could feel the familiar breath approaching him.A breath touched the skin on the side of his neck, Canaan turned around, and looked at Ah Shuang who hadn't seen him for a long time with his right eye bent into a slit with a smile.The nine-tailed fox didn't speak, approached him, and touched his bandage-wrapped left eye with the tip of its wet nose. The silver-blue eyes were half-drooped. Such a gentle and tender movement almost melted Canaan.

Canaan hugged the Nine-Tailed Fox's neck, rubbing his cheek against the silky silver-white fur.

I didn't expect Ah Shuang to act like a dog like a baby when I met him. This is simply unprecedented!

Canaan felt like honey was melting in his heart, forgot that he was in a dangerous place, and was so happy that he was about to fly to the sky.

Nine-Tailed Fox stretched out his tongue and gently licked Canaan's left eye, and asked, "Did it hurt at that time?"

Canaan said, "I just passed out after a while of pain, but it's actually not as scary as it looks."

Nine-Tailed Fox asked again, "Do you regret it?"

Canaan said, "There is nothing to regret. Isn't there still one eye?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox stopped talking, rubbed his cheek against Canaan, and whispered, "I suddenly felt that you are actually the wizard who is best at taming spirit beasts."

Canaan laughed softly.Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly felt that the voice of this young man's low laugh was somewhat deep and hoarse like that of a mature man.

"Why do you say that."

"I owe you an eye." Nine-Tailed Fox said, "So I can only repay your eye with a promise of body."

It took Canaan a while to realize that the nine-tailed fox was joking.Although the joke was cold, he still laughed foolishly.

After laughing for a while, Canaan's smile faded slightly.He thought that if something happened to this mission, he would never see Ah Shuang again.

"Canaan. If you think this mission is too dangerous, I can take you away." Ah Shuang said suddenly.

Canaan didn't expect Ah Shuang to say this suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled wryly, "It's so easy to leave, isn't it?"

"As long as you think about it, it's not a problem." Nine-Tailed Fox said flatly, but the proud self-confidence was still clearly revealed.

This proposal is actually very tempting.Leaving the place of right and wrong, there is no need to worry about any accidents.Roaming freely and unrestrainedly in the wilderness with Ah Shuang, the future is like a dream.

But... "No, I won't be able to go home again in that case. What about my father?" Canaan said with a long sigh, "Anyway... Anyway, just run away after seeing each other. Long Didn't Tian say that the teleportation points have already been set up?"

"You don't understand... If that person is really Ligu, he wouldn't be able to get away easily with a teleportation point..." Ah Shuang said, but there was a faint fear in the depths of his eyes.And because Canaan has been practicing charm these days, he is more sensitive to other people's mood swings.He understood that Ah Shuang's vivid and deep fear of Li Gu didn't seem to be just heard from legends.

Jianan approached Ah Shuang and stroked his back, "A Shuang, have you seen Li Gu? I mean a real person." Even though Li Gu was a person more than 4000 years ago, Ah Shuang was already a person at that time. It's only a thousand-year-old fox demon.How can a human being who has only lived for a few decades make a creature that has lived for thousands of years feel afraid?

The muscles under Ah Shuang's skin seemed to twitch for a moment, and he closed his eyes, as if he was suppressing some bad memories.

"Remember what I told you, I used to have a fellow practitioner named Chi Lian?"

"Of course I remember." It must be the red fox in Ah Shuang's consciousness.At that time, he had fallen asleep against Ah Shuang and was unprepared, invading the other's superficial subconscious.He is still a little concerned about why the red fox has a face like Lu Ming.

The always ruthless Nine-Tailed Fox's expression at this moment seemed a little fragile and lonely.Thinking back to the past, it must have made him sad and desperate, so that he still showed such a heartbreaking expression when he thought of it thousands of years later.

"The one who catches Chi Lian is Li Gu." Nine-Tailed Fox said so.
