Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Five years later.

It is spring now, the mountains are green, the water is green, the sky is high and the clouds are clear. Yuanshan is located in the frontier fortress.

For five years, Cheng Shuiyao and Jing Xi lived here.Originally, in three years, she should have gone down the mountain.But Jingxi's health suddenly failed, even though Jingxi had 120 years of internal strength in her body.

But death is unavoidable for everyone. Even though Jingxi ages slower than ordinary people, his soul will still return to Hades.

"Girl, don't worry about it anymore, I've delayed you for two years, and with my appearance, there is not much time left, just come here."

They live on the mountainside of the second peak of Yuanshan. It is spring and March at the bottom of the mountain, but it is still midwinter on the mountain and the weather is still cold.

Hearing Grandpa Jing call her, Cheng Shuiyao's heart sank, she bit her lip tightly, and came to him.

"Your family's enmity, Grandpa Jing did not forbid you to take revenge, but don't lose yourself. In the past few years, you should also know that I asked some friends to inquire. Now the world and the court are becoming more and more chaotic, and everyone is messing up the muddy water. , I don’t have time to find out for you who is the real murderer of your family, you need to find it yourself.”

Cheng Shuiyao knelt in front of him and listened silently.

"Judging from the Zhang family who had an accident almost at the same time as yours, but saved the whole family's life in the end, the people who invaded your house that night must be people from Zhuquelou."

"I can't guess the master behind Suzaku Tower. But Suzaku Tower is an organization that has only emerged in the past 30 years, and the identity of the master behind it may be somewhat ambiguous."

Jing Xi said something, paused for a moment, patted Cheng Shuiyao on the head, and said, "Take out your dagger."

Cheng Shuiyao took out a dagger from her body. Compared with the dark look when she first saw it, this dagger now looks brand new, as crystal clear as jade.

"You already know what it is, so you should know that the emperors of the Longxie Dynasty have been looking for the three treasures of Jiulong. Now the Jiulong Crystal Dagger is in your hands, and it was passed down to you by your mother, Princess Wuyang. Having said that your mother said it was passed down from generation to generation, then the Nine Dragon Crystal Dagger was passed down from your mother's mother to your mother, that is, your grandmother."

"Who is your grandmother? In the eyes of the world, she is an ordinary concubine in the former empress's palace, but she was a beauty brought back to the palace by Lieyan when the former emperor was traveling in the world. Now it seems that your grandmother's identity has a lot of origins. , although she hid it well, she may still be discovered, so your family suffered a catastrophe."

"After you go down the mountain, go to Fancheng. It is the most chaotic and most prosperous place in the Longxie Dynasty. All eyes in the world are focused there. You can get what you want to know there. But you must not be careless. Many people want to Take advantage of your status, and don't be confused by unnecessary emotions, your mother is the princess of Wuyang, most people will not touch her, but you should understand in your heart the person who touches her."

……

Jing Xi's hands were placed on Cheng Shuiyao's head, and his inner strength was transmitted to Cheng Shuiyao by means of empowerment, Cheng Shuiyao couldn't move, only two lines of tears were left on his face.

It was only a few moments, but Cheng Shuiyao seemed to have passed for a long time, her heart climbed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, flew thousands of miles into the air, and then slowly fell down.

Opening her eyes, Cheng Shuiyao looked at the gray-haired old man who seemed to be just asleep with her eyes closed, and she kowtowed nine times.

The next step was to bury Grandpa Jing into the ground. The coffin had already been made. Cheng Shuiyao, under the guidance of Grandpa Jing, felled and sawed the wood into pieces, and then beat them into pieces.

There was no encoffining or burial ceremony. Cheng Shuiyao put him in the coffin, closed the coffin lid, covered it with soil, and finally built a small house with stones, and erected a stone tablet, writing: Tomb of Jingxi, great-granddaughter: Cheng Shuiyao stood up.

She still doesn't know about Grandpa Jing's past, but after going down the mountain, she should be able to learn about his past from the few people Grandpa Jing mentioned. If she can come back alive, she will write a good biography for him.

She held the Nine-Long Crystal Dagger, and after infusing her inner strength, the dagger became more and more transparent. She carved each word on the stone tablet until the final completion, and inserted the stone tablet heavily into the deep place below.

"Grandpa Jing, don't worry, I will be fine."

On the ground, the green vines seemed to be frozen, and if poked on a person, a bloody skeleton could still be left behind, but Cheng Shuiyao didn't notice it at all, and she kowtowed nine times before getting up.

Then, she continued to guard the mountain for seven days, and on the eighth day, she came down the mountain with a burden on her back.

She criss-crossed the mountain path, and it took less than half an hour to go down the mountain. This end of Yuanshan belonged to the Longxie Dynasty, and the other end belonged to the Xuanxiao Dynasty. Because it is not easy to cross Yuanshan, the fortresses of the two countries are not here. , to go down another fifty miles or so, and she doesn't need to go to the border town.

Because she lives on the mountain, she still has contacts with the villagers at the foot of the mountain. The salt and rice that she usually eats are bought by the villagers, and she returns some medicinal materials. Since she is leaving, she should also tell the villagers to prevent them On the fifteenth day, I made a trip for nothing.

For the next two days, she avoided the crowds until she came to Jiangshuiya, which is the name of a city.There is a river here, and the source of the long river is Yuanshan. This section of the river is called Jiangshui, and this city is called Jiangshuiya.

Jiangshuiya is a small town where people live away from the world. Most of the people who live here are masters who have retired for many years. They have long since stopped asking about Jianghu affairs, but it doesn't mean they don't know about Jianghu affairs.

They all know what happened in the rivers and lakes. It's just a new generation replacing the old ones. These old people are not interested in these disputes in the rivers and lakes.Because what happened in Jianghu now is nothing more than a repetition of what happened when they were young. It may be a little different, but the taste is still the same.

Cheng Shuiyao looked outside the city. There were no soldiers waiting at the gate of the city. Small vendors carrying goods, farmers carrying baskets on their backs, butchers pushing carts...every one had a smile that could melt ice and snow. The old man with a cane limped along with a pipe in his mouth, greeting different people around him.

She looked at it for a while and left decisively.

Grandpa Jing said that if you are in danger, you can ask Jiang Shuiya's seniors for help. They will not ignore death, because he saved half of Jiang Shuiya's lives.

She didn't notice that the old man with a cane, known to the world as Tieguai Li, was on the other side of the city wall, watching her through the door for a long time.

After leaving Jiang Shuiya, she came to the county town, Dingxi County.

As a county town, the city is naturally much more prosperous than remote places. There are more knight-errants and merchants in the past. They come from all over the world and have different accents.

Zhuque Tower, do you know if there is a stronghold in Dingxi County?

After entering the city, Cheng Shuiyao wandered around, and took money to ask the little beggars who had a lot of information. From them, they learned that there is a branch of Wenshilou in Dingxi County. If you want to buy news, you can go to Wenshilou.

Wenshi Building, this is an organization that sells information and buys and sells human heads that has stood in the Longxie Dynasty for hundreds of years.

In the evening, Cheng Shuiyao dressed up a little and came to Wenshi Building.At this time, Wenshi Building was very lively, auction activities were going on in the lobby on the first and second floors, the moment Cheng Shuiyao entered, he heard someone shouting for the Nine Dragon Crystal Dagger.

She looked up, and sure enough, she saw on the stage, in the tray held by the master of ceremonies, a crystal clear dagger was shining under the light of the night pearl.

The mother said that this dagger has been passed down for five or six generations, which means that at least this dagger has not really come out for 100 years.But in fact, the last time the Nine Dragon Crystal Dagger was known to the world was 50 years ago. Wasn't it taken back by the Longxie royal family?Could it be that the Longxie royal family never found the real Nine Long Crystal Dagger, so they found a counterfeit one to confuse the world?Are they looking for it in secret?

But I'm afraid that the first emperor, that is, her grandfather didn't know that he was actually very close to the Nine Dragon Crystal Dagger, but unfortunately he missed it in the end.I wonder if grandma knows?If she knew, then she didn't want to tell her grandfather, if she didn't, then it was another matter.

She stood at the top of the stairs and watched the auction. After the master of ceremonies called out the Nine Dragon Crystal Dagger, the audience fell silent.

Finally, a figure stood up from the crowd. Because his back was facing Cheng Shuiyao, she couldn't see what he looked like, but judging from his figure, he was a thin man.

He said eagerly: "Everyone, everyone, this is really the Nine-Long Crystal Dagger. My family is a family of thieves. This Nine-Long Crystal Dagger was stolen from the palace by my grandfather 30 years ago. If it weren't for my lack of knowledge, I would live a happy life." How could I put him up for auction if he was poor and destitute!"

He looked around and tried his best to prove to everyone that what he said was true, he said loudly: "Please believe me!"

"Believe me, I come from a family of thieves, and my grandfather is Yan Wudi, who everyone in the world shouts and beats."

……

The guests upstairs and downstairs suddenly started discussing. Some people said: "50 years ago, the Nine Dragon Crystal Dagger was taken back by Emperor Xie at that time, but since it was lost 30 years ago, why is Emperor Xie not in a hurry? I heard that the royal family is looking for the Nine Dragon Crystal Dagger?"

"No matter how well this royal family news is concealed, it will be missed. Why hasn't it been spread?"

Many people were skeptical, but they thought it might really be the Nine Dragons Crystal Dagger.

But most of the people here can only look at the ocean and sigh, because if they buy the Nine Dragon Crystal Dagger, what awaits them is a catastrophe. Their martial arts are not high, but they don't have the ability to compete with the world's killers and the emperor's hidden guards!
