Waiting for the wind, waiting for the rain, waiting for your return

This is an extremely remote courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, and it is still barely clean.The once gorgeous Hua Niang had already taken off all the decorations. Seeing someone push the door in, Peony didn't react at all, she didn't even roll her eyes.

Xiao Zhongyuan frowned: "How did she become like this?" It was obvious that she had been controlled by Xie Wu.

Jun Shiqing spread his hands, expressing his ignorance, and his face was full of doubts: "I don't know what a little flower girl has done. But my cousin always has his reasons for doing things."

Chuchen shook his head: "She is controlled by others, even if she leaves the place of fireworks, she can't do anything."

Xiao Zhongyuan glanced at his wrist, the mark was still there.Jun Fu clearly knew that Hua Niang was his target, why did he do this?Is it for his own good to force her to be good, or is it deliberately obstructing it by catching Peony so that she can't survive the catastrophe.

Black lines loomed on Hua Niang's skin, Xiao Zhongyuan thoughtfully, closed the door and turned around to come out.

Stretching out his hand to touch the brocade bag, he thought that the color of the satin surface had faded a little because the owner often took it out to caress it.

Xiao Zhongyuan handed the kit to Jun Shiqing: "Ah Qing, please hand over this kit to Jun Fu, and tell him for me that we will be separated from him and stay safe."

Jun Shiqing's eyes widened, a little panicked: "Brother Xiao, are you angry? Ah Qing, Ah Qing shouldn't have brought you here."

The sun was already towards the west, but Xiao Zhongyuan still felt a little dazzling.He forced a smile and said, "This is between me and him. You have good intentions and it's none of your business."

"Then where do you plan to go in the future? If you are willing to come to Nanlin Prince's Mansion, Ah Qing will regard brother Xiao as your honored guest."

"The little prince has a heart." Xiao Zhongyuan bowed his head slightly: "Go back to the Kunlun Ruins or go back to the Great East Wilderness to find my master. The sky and the earth are big, and there is always a place for me. Besides, there are frequent changes in the three worlds, except for His Royal Highness. , I also have other more important people and more important things to do."

Xiao Zhongyuan walked away while talking, and the white corners of his clothes were finally hidden in the distance under Jun Shiqing's gaze.

Jun Shiqing squeezed the kit tightly in his hand, Xiao Zhongyuan, you are a cultivator of immortality, if you continue to stay in Shengjing, you will only embarrass the crown prince's cousin in the future.

The hidden guard came out: "My lord, what should I do with this flower girl?"

Jun Shiqing only said indifferently: "Together with this courtyard, it was burnt together, not a single blade of grass was left, anyway, he was already a dead person." The twilight of the warm sun enveloped his delicate face, but it was a look of indifference.

Chu Chen followed: "Zhong Yuan, are you really planning to go back to the Great Eastern Wilderness?"

Xiao Zhongyuan raised his head and looked into the distance, the lotus hat brought the setting sun, and the green hills returned alone.

After a while Fang said: "The day of catastrophe is only a few days away, I plan to go back and forget to go back." If I want to choose where to go in my life, I just want to go back to my mother.

Going upstream, after many years, Xiao Zhongyuan once again stepped into the land of forgetting to return.

In front of my eyes are not the weeds and ruins as I thought, although there are still traces of destruction, but it is like this belated spring, although it is late, it is here.The staggered tile houses, the neatly planted seedlings in the newly reclaimed fields, and the roadsides are full of colorful and unknown flowers.Who takes care of this place?

First went to pay homage to his mother and clansmen, and on the way back, two familiar figures turned around, Xiao Zhongyuan was startled, and then happily said: "General Xie, Mr. Sun."

Xie Huailiu didn't expect Xiao Zhongyuan to go back to Wanggui, and he stepped forward to hug Xiao Zhongyuan in surprise: "Young Master Xiao, that's great, we said goodbye a few months ago, I didn't expect to meet you again in Wanggui."

But the left and right didn't see Jun Fu, so they couldn't help saying: "Young Master Xiao, where is Jun Fu? Aren't you two always inseparable, why are you the only one coming back?"

Xiao Zhongyuan smiled lightly, it seemed that the matter of Shengjing had long been out of his mind. "He still has some things to do in Shengjing City, so I'll come back and take a look first. I'm also very happy to see General Xie and Mr. Sun again."

Although Sun Gongyan still hadn't regained his sanity, he looked very happy to see Xiao Zhongyuan. He pulled Xie Huailiu's sleeve and said, "Are you Uncle's friend? It's so pretty."

"Yes, they will also stay in Wanggui, is Xiaoyan happy?"

Sun Gongyan clapped his hands and smiled immediately: "Great, someone is playing with Xiaoyan again."

Xie Huailiu talked softly with Sun Gongyan for a while, and felt relieved: "It turns out that the little prince and Mr. Xiao are such good friends, how can they be unhappy, I am thinking too much."

Seeing Chuchen beside him, he was slightly surprised: "Who is this girl? I seem to have seen it somewhere before."

Xiao Zhongyuan nodded with a smile: "Mirror City."

"Jingcheng?" Xie Huailiu scratched his head, couldn't think of a reason for a long time, and said sullenly: "Don't mention Jingcheng, after parting with the two that day, I took Xiaoyan to Wuhu Shuijing to find Shuijing Yuanjun, I searched blindly in the five lakes for five days, but I didn't even see the shadow of Shuijing Yuanjun, so it must be because my predestined relationship to immortality is too shallow."

Chuchen slightly raised his head: "I am Shuijing Yuanjun, what do you want from me?"

Xie Huailiu immediately opened his mouth wide, but couldn't close it for a while, no wonder his face looked familiar, he never thought that he had seen her statue in Jingcheng.It's just that the once dull statue now appeared alive in front of my eyes. It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I quickly kowtowed: "Xie Huailiu has seen Shuijing Yuanjun."

Immediately, he informed Sun Gongyan of the missing half of the human soul, and asked the fairy if there was a way to find the missing half of the human soul.

Chuchen probed Sun Gongyan's altar, and said: "His half human soul was forcibly taken out by Xie Wu back then. If the person who controlled him no longer controlled him, the missing soul would not be able to enter the three realms and six realms of reincarnation, and would all go to the underworld. Underworld. It’s just that Huangquan’s underworld is governed by the underworld, where lonely souls and evil spirits gather, so it’s not easy to find half a human soul.”

Xie Huailiu gritted his teeth and said: "As long as there is half a hope, I will go to the dragon's lake and tiger's den."

"Don't worry, trespassing into the underworld to take people is a serious crime against the rules of heaven. Fortunately, the soul of Huangquan Minghai is unwilling to cross the bridge of Naihe for various reasons, so it cannot be regarded as a ghost race in the true sense. Therefore, the king of the underworld I didn't bother to take care of this marginal land, so I handed it over to Huang Quansi to handle it. I have dealt with the head of Huang Quansi because of assisting the affairs of the six realms, and I have some friendship. In the future, I will ask him to find it for me, so as not to disturb the Lord is the best."

Xie Huailiu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and kowtowed repeatedly. "I brought Xiaoyan back because I thought that familiar places would help him slowly regain his memory. If I encountered some monster Shuras who were alone along the way, I would also bring them back with me to rebuild this forgotten place." place."

Xiao Zhongyuan looked at the monsters around him and said: "These Shura puppets are divided into two types according to different refining methods. One is controlled by the evil energy of Xie Wu, but has not lost self-awareness. After dispelling the magic energy, it can slowly return to normal.

But the other is controlled by the child-mother Gu, that is, those ghoul puppets and monster clans we saw in the Nanlin Palace. These are no different from the living dead, and their self-consciousness has long since died.Even if he is saved, he will die slowly. "

"So when Jun Shiqing took you to see the flower girl, you already saw that she was controlled by a corpse gu?"

Xiao Zhongyuan frowned and said, "I suspected early on that Xie Wu was obviously taken over by Jun Fu, why Jun Wuji and Jun Shiqing could still control Shura puppets. Shifang Fanghua's secret technique of controlling demons should actually be this mother-child Gu , Jun Shining was able to come up with such a vicious technique."

Xie Huailiu immediately understood and said: "I know that there is a special zombie in Xunzhou, which lives on the flesh and blood of the host. When the host dies, if a new host can be found within an hour, the zombie can continue to survive. The subgu in those ghoul puppets must be this kind of zombie."

"That's right, Jun Shining used evil martial arts to refine mother-child Gu, and the Gu worms infected by the devil's energy penetrated into the demon slave's body to control its consciousness, absorbing the bitterness and long-term hatred of the host, and the resentment can be offered in turn The main body." Xiao Zhongyuan's complexion changed: "And he only needs to feed a mother Gu to control it, even if he loses Xiewu in the future, he can still control those ghoul puppets."

It was a huge game of chess, but with Jun Shining's death, is the game now broken up, or is it in Ah Qing's hands?Does Junfu know?

The worry in my heart deepened: "Chuchen, I know that the gods in the heavenly realm have never been allowed to interfere in the affairs of the three realms, unless they have gone through the catastrophe of Luoxiantai. But now that the Lin Dynasty has fallen into the devil's way, and my catastrophe is imminent, this matter can only be entrusted to you. The evil warrior can still be controlled by Jun Fu, but once the demon realm of the human heart is opened, I am afraid it will become an irreversible situation."

"Although you can rest assured, as long as it is something you entrusted to me, I will never refuse."

Xie Huailiu had never seen Xiao Zhongyuan's dignified appearance before, and felt uneasy in his heart: "Young Master Xiao, I don't quite understand what you are talking about, what catastrophe, what irreversible situation?"

The storm rose suddenly in the sky, dark clouds pressed down, and there was a tendency of mountain rain and wind to fill the building.

"It's going to rain, General Xie, hurry up and take Xiaoyan home first. Those monster puppets who didn't respond have long since died, and there is no way to save them. Let's incinerate them with fire later."

"Young Master Xiao..." Xie Huailiu felt that Xiao Zhongyuan had something to hide from him.Even though he knows that his cultivation is far better than the two of them, he can't do such a villainous act of flying away separately when the catastrophe is imminent.

Dark clouds gathered towards Wanggui, and Chuchen urged: "General Xie, please come back quickly, you just need to remember to complete Zhongyuan's instructions. I'm here, you stay here, I'm afraid it will distract us."

Now that we've talked about this, Xie Huailiu is inconvenient to force him to stay. "Those two take care." Pulling Sun Gongyan away at once.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing the robes and hair of the two of them flying.

Xiao Zhongyuan looked at the black iris flower mark on his wrist that hadn't disappeared yet, and now this catastrophe is inevitable, the [-] lightning bolts from the sky, he never thought that this is my destiny.

"Chuchen, in fact, you and Junfu knew early on that my love robbery is not Peony, but Junfu, right?"

Chuchen suddenly widened his eyes: "When did you know?"
