Unseen Immortal of Three Hundred Years

Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu were more responsive than Wu Xingxue.

At that time, they lifted the felt curtain and were about to get out of the carriage. When they heard Xiao Fuxuan's words "the catastrophe", their heads were full of question marks, and they stepped on the ground——

Just hearing two muffled bangs, the two little devils almost fell into the mud in front of the door of their own magic cave.

Ning Huaishan grabbed the car door and stopped staggering.After a while, parting the felt curtain, a head came in: "...how do you know?!"

His eyes were originally big, but now his eyeballs almost fell out, and he just stared at Xiao Fuxuan unblinkingly and in disbelief.

After a while, Fang Chu's head also came in, frowning in the same confusion: "How could Tianxiu know the term 'Kaoji'?!"

The doctor Wusheng next to him asked: "The period of robbery? What does the period of robbery mean? It's the first time I've heard of it today."

Ning Huaishan immediately rushed to him and said, "Isn't that nonsense! Can you people from the immortal sect hear about it at will?"

Doctor Wusheng: "?"

The evil spirits in the calamity period will be taken advantage of by people if they are not careful.Therefore, the demons and Taoists in Zhaoye City know each other well, and will cover it up in every possible way when they leave the city.No demon would let outsiders, especially those in the immortal sect, know this, it would be self-exposing.

What's more, the term "tribulation period" is only said by the devils themselves. They think that the devouring of resentful souls is a calamity, so they used this name.If people in the immortal sect found out, I'm afraid they would just clap their hands and applaud, calling this "retribution".

They asked a lot, but Wu Xingxue could at least hear one thing among other things——the word "tribulation period" should never have come out of Xiao Fuxuan's mouth.

As for why he would know...

That's a really good question.

Wu Xingxue clutched the felt blanket, recalling those ambiguous fragments in the dream, especially Sang Yu's ambiguous tone when he mentioned "Tianxiu Shangxian" to him...

In short, this carriage might not be able to accommodate him.

But the two two hundred and five are still babbling: "It shouldn't be, Tianxiu you... how did you know it? Who leaked it?"

Xiao Fuxuan didn't answer them immediately, but opened the felt curtain with his sword, turned to Wu Xingxue and said, "Get out of the car."

Wu Xingxue glanced at him, lifted the thick blanket, and walked towards the car door.

He lowered his head to pass Xiao Fuxuan's sword against the door curtain, and was about to get out of the car.

From the corner of his eye, Xiao Fuxuan glanced at him, and suddenly answered the question that Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu had been asking for a long time.

His deep voice was close at hand, and he said, "I happen to know."

Wu Xingxue's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately afterwards, the voice sounded again: "Put on the cloak."

Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu: "?"

He suddenly said this sentence again, no name or surname, everyone was stunned when they heard it.After a while, the two realized that this sentence was meant for their city lord.

Um………………

Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu originally wanted to say something more, but suddenly they ran out of words.

Seeing that their city lord paused, he glanced at Xiao Fuxuan inexplicably, and finally turned his head back into the car.

The doctor took out the cloak he had prepared in the car and handed it over, saying: "I don't understand what the robbery period means, but since the cold is unbearable, it's better to wear more. Maybe... If you don't mind, my lord, you can describe it. How do you feel about the Tribulation Period, and how can you suppress it? I don’t say anything else, I have brought a lot of various pills, maybe they can be used.”

"..."

After saying this, there was an instant silence in the carriage, and a needle could be heard.

Yi Wusheng was stunned for a moment, his face was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu silently turned their faces away, not daring to interrupt at this moment.They tacitly avoided for a moment, and suddenly realized a problem——

Tianxiu Shangxian Xiao Fuxuan was as silent as them.

Of course, Tianxiu cherishes words like gold and doesn't like to speak.But at that moment, they were subtly aware that the reaction of Tianxiu Shangxian was not the normal silence, but similar to them, with a somewhat indescribable meaning.

It was as if he not only knew what the Tribulation Period was, but also knew how the Tribulation Period would react and how to suppress it.

Um? ? ? ?

Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu looked at each other.

However, before they could think about it, they heard their city lord say: "To be honest, I don't remember anything about the time of the catastrophe, so I don't need the pill, I don't like it. Mister kindly accepts it."

After finishing speaking, Wu Xingxue got out of the carriage wearing a cloak, almost in a hurry.

Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu hurried over and whispered to him: "City Master, it's so strange, Su Shangxian seemed to know everything that day, even how to suppress the Tribulation Period—"

Before they finished speaking, they heard the city lord say in an extremely quiet voice: "Shut up, you guys."

The two were most afraid of hearing such a tone, their scalps went numb, and they pursed their lips together.

Wu Xingxue was finally at peace for a moment.

In the night, the cold wind brought rain and moisture to the face, which made the ears feel cold.It was only then that Wu Xingxue realized that in the carriage just now, there was a bit of warmth on the side of his ears and neck.

There was a soft sound of swords behind him, and Xiao Fuxuan also got off the carriage.

When Wu Xingxue scanned the surroundings, she glanced over from the corner of her eye and saw Xiao Fuxuan standing a few steps behind the carriage. She glanced at it, but she didn't intend to come over.

"Hiss... where are there so many people by the post?" Ning Huaishan suddenly asked in wonder.

"Huh?" Wu Xingxue turned her head to look.

Where their carriage stopped was a covered hitching post.Not far behind should be the entrance to Zhaoye City.

I saw Gao Yuan squinting there, with a minaret on each side, and a bell seemed to hang on the edge of the tower, swinging in the cold wind, and the bell sounded through the fog and rain.

In the middle of the high wall is a black iron gate. There are dozens of green lights on the left and right sides of the gate, at different heights.

At first, Wu Xingxue thought it was a lantern hanging on the wall.After staring intently for a while, I realized that it was a will-o'-the-wisp hanging in the mist and rain.

In the gap between the will-o'-the-wisps, there are many shadows.

Wu Xingxue asked: "Who is that? A guard?"

He thought to himself, isn't Zhaoye City a magic cave? What kind of guards does a magic cave need?

Sure enough, Ning Huaishan said: "We used to have no guards in Zhaoye City. Those Qingming Lanterns were set by the city lord, and there is also a mysterious bell hanging on the tower. Once someone from Xiandu tries to enter Zhaoye City , the Xuanzhong will ring, and the Qingming Lantern will burst into a wall of fire, stretching for hundreds of miles."

"But there were some later." Ning Huaishan said again.

"Why?" Wu Xingxue asked.

Ning Huaishan faltered and said: "Ah, because the city lord is in that ghostly place in the Canglang Northern Territory, I don't know when he will come back. Many people worry that the Qingming Lantern and Xuanzhong won't last for many years, so..."

This is already a euphemism.

Wu Xingxue knew it well.It must be that those demons in Zhaoye City thought that he would die for sure, and they couldn't believe these things.

Moreover, being able to arrange guards means that there is someone who can speak well in Zhaoye City.

Wu Xingxue waved at Ning Huaishan and asked, "Come on, let me ask you, who is the current city owner of Zhaoye City?"

Ning Huaishan pouted unconvincedly, subconsciously said: "Xue Li."

After finishing speaking, Fang Chu gave a heavy arch.

Only then did Ning Huaishan react, and said, "The city lord..."

Wu Xingxue was not surprised at all, since he entered the Canglang Northern Territory, everyone thought he would die for sure.It is impossible for Moku Zhaoye City to keep the seat of the city lord vacant all the time. There are so many evil spirits, there will always be people vying to sit on it.It is normal to have a new city owner.

He also remembered Ning Huaishan's eagerness to pull him back to Zhao Ye City when he first left the Canglang Northern Territory, probably because of this.

"Xue Li?" Doctor Wu suddenly said, "Xue Li..."

He was invaded by evil spirits and spent more than 20 years in a daze. Before he woke up, he didn't know who the new city lord of Zhaoye City was.Hearing the name now, he repeated it a few times and said, "This name is the same as the son of an old friend of mine."

Fang Chu: "Your old friend is the Feng family?"

Doctor Wusheng nodded: "Exactly. The Feng family and our Hua family have been friends for generations. The previous head of the family had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was named Feishi, the beloved daughter was named Juyan, and the youngest son was named Xueli."

Fang Chu: "That's right, it's him."

The doctor Wusheng turned pale with shock: "What do you mean?!"

Fang Chu: "It's that Feng Xueli who turned against his family for some reason, entered the way of evil spirits, came to Zhaoye City, changed his surname, and changed his name to Xue Li. We haven't seen anything in Zhaoye City in the past 25 years. The big devil, let him take advantage of it and become the new city lord."

"Not only that!" Ning Huaishan was furious as he spoke, his face stretched longer than a donkey: "He came to Zhaoye City, and instead of repairing his own mansion, he just wanted to take over the city lord's sparrow. After he left, Que Bu Luo sealed him off, he might have moved in with all his belongings a long time ago!"

Because of this, he finds Xue Li very unpleasant.

Before, he and Fang Chu wished that Wu Xingxue would return to the city as soon as possible to kill that dog's prestige.With the ability of his family's city lord, once he comes back, how can Xue Li still have the role of domineering?

But now he has changed his mind.Their city lords don't remember anything, and it coincides with the period of catastrophe, it's better to wait until the memory is restored and the period of catastrophe passes, before they catch Xue Li by surprise.

Therefore, now is not a good time to reveal your identity.

Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu thought so, and called Wu Xingxue, wanting him to change his face a little before passing the post platform.

Before he could speak, he heard a gust of wind behind him.

It was a sinister wind with a corpse smell, and when Wu Xingxue smelled that smell, he suddenly remembered that Sang Yu's mansion in the dream - the corpse refiner always had this smell on him.

Wu Xingxue wrinkled the tip of her nose, and when she raised her eyes again, the shadowy people beside the city wall had disappeared.But in front of them, dozens of people in black robes appeared in an instant.

Their skin is pale, and there is a very conspicuous black line around their necks. At first glance, they seem to be separated and then forcibly stitched together.

After a closer look, I found that the circle was not a black thread with uneven stitches, but a coffin nail, nailed around the neck.

"This is the guard of the new city owner?" Wu Xingxue looked at those people, turned his head to the side, and said softly, "They are all ugly things."

After he finished speaking, it was rare that he didn't hear repeated echoes, thinking that Ning Huaishan still had such a deep time.

In the end, Ning Huaishan's voice was heard from the other side: "It's only been a few days since we left the city, how come there are so many people added to the station?"

Wu Xingxue: "..."

Ning Huaishan, who was still beside him before, was a few steps away at some point.Who was that standing next to him and listening to his nonsense?

Wu Xingxue turned her head and saw Xiao Fuxuan holding a sword.

Wu Xingxue was startled: "...Aren't you standing on the side of the carriage, why are you here?"

Xiao Fuxuan: "Didn't you not look back? How did you know I was standing by the carriage?"

Wu Xingxue moved her lips, but said nothing.The subtle and unspeakable feeling from before surfaced again.

He vaguely noticed that Tianxiu Shangxian seemed not very happy, obviously he was not like this when he just woke up.After careful study, it seems that it started when he said to the doctor Wu Sheng, "I don't remember the robbery date", and then hurriedly left the carriage.

Wu Xingxue: "..."

Well……

He is a monster, he must never care whether others are happy or not.Besides, he really didn't know what to say if he wanted to speak in this situation.

It's better to ignore it.

Thinking of this, the big devil pursed his lips.

After a while, he moved again: "Then why did you come here?"

Xiao Fuxuan raised his eyelids: "Come and change someone's face."

Wu Xingxue: "?"

He was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Fuxuan said in a low voice, "Don't move yet."

The next moment, he understood Xiao Fuxuan's meaning - he heard the leader of the night city guards explain to Ning Huaishan while walking a few steps: "There is a change in the Luohuatai, afraid of attracting people, the city lord ordered to add City defense. Of course you have no problem entering the city, these three are..."

The group of guards had fire floating in their palms and followed them.Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu are Wu Xingxue's confidantes, almost everyone in Zhaoye City knows him.But for the remaining three, they should still check.

They were very close, in this situation, it would be too obvious if Xiao Fuxuan raised his hand to touch someone's face.

Wu Xingxue said in her heart that it would be the end of the calf.

They originally wanted to get into Luohuatai and get some jade essence to restore Mengling.For all other matters, it is best to wait until he interprets the dream and restores his memory.

But now it's like this, I'm afraid it will attract attention——

People in Zhaoye City must know his face.

Xiao Fuxuan was actually quite embarrassing, after all, he was the Heavenly Exalted Immortal.As far as the fragments of his dreams are concerned, most people in Zhaoye City probably know what Xiao Fuxuan looks like.

Even Yi Wusheng is very dangerous, since he is an elder of the famous family of Xianmen, and has a good reputation, there is no guarantee that there will be someone who can recognize him at a glance.

Thinking about it this way, they really don't seem to be acting low-key, but more like provoking the entire Zhaoye City.

When the guard approached with the fire in his palm, Wu Xingxue heard Xiao Fuxuan whisper two words: "Okay."

All right?

Wu Xingxue looked at his unraised hand, feeling very puzzled.Isn't it not moving? What's wrong?

When he turned his head back, he saw that the clothes of the doctor beside him hadn't changed at all, the mouth and nose were still covered by a thick cloth scarf, but the exposed eyebrows and eyes had changed.

At first glance, it looks like a frail scholar who has been possessed by a demon.

The fire in the guard's palm swept across, and Wu Xingxue squinted his eyes because of the fire.

At that moment, the guard hissed and muttered to another guard beside him, "These eyes...why do I feel like I've seen them before?"

From the corner of his eye, Wu Xingxue saw that Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu had pressed their hands to the hilt of their swords, as if they were about to attack at any moment.I heard another guard say: "It's been two days, and every day there are always a few you think you've seen somewhere."

They looked carefully for a while, then turned their palms to Xiao Fuxuan.

From this, Wu Xingxue can be sure that her face has been altered beyond recognition, just like that of a doctor.

"Have you finished the investigation? It's really annoying. Like I said, the two of us were hungry along the way, so we caught a few people and brought them back." Ning Huaishan seemed a little impatient, "Is there anything else I can bring?"

It can be seen that he and Fang Chu have some status in Zhaoye City.Seeing that he was impatient, the guards immediately made way for him without any further effort.

"By the way, don't take the road of Luohuatai to enter the city. The city lord has opened another road on the right." The guard ordered from behind.

"What happened to Luohuatai?" Ning Huaishan asked.

"It's nothing else, it's just that the mountain is showing fire again."

"Firelight?"

"Ah."

Wu Xingxue remembered what the doctor Wu said in the carriage before, that after Luohuashan City was burned by the mountain fire, every year on the third day of March, there would still be lights stretching for twelve miles at Luohuatai.It attracted many immortal disciples to lift their swords and leave, only to find that the mountain was empty, a piece of scorched earth, and there was nothing.

It was not until Luohua Terrace was drawn into the boundary of Zhaoye City and became the entrance to Zhaoye City that the lights on the third day of March slowly disappeared.

What do these guards mean is that the flame has risen again after hundreds of years?

Ning Huaishan said: "When we left the city a few days ago, we were fine."

The guard said, "It started two days ago."

The first two days?

Wu Xingxue was thinking about it.

Isn't that when they came out of the Great Sad Valley?

Such a coincidence?Or is there any connection between this?

He thought for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, everyone was already standing in front of the black iron gate.It is said that the Qingming Lantern set up by him floated faintly on both sides, shaking up and down a few times when everyone approached, looking ready to move.

Taking advantage of the absence of the guards, Ning Huaishan whispered, "City Master, do you still remember how to use this Qingming Lantern?"

Wu Xingxue said calmly, "I forgot, what's wrong?"

Ning Huaishan had a look of "everyone is numb": "This Qingming Lantern recognizes the spirit of immortality, and it is very clever. It is said that it has been guarding the gate for hundreds of years, and there has never been a single mistake. That's not something that Yi Rong can fool."

Ning Huaishan glanced at Tiansu Shangxian, lowering his voice: "If you remember how to use it, you can make it easier for Tiansu to walk alone. But you don't remember, what should I do?"

Wu Xingxue: "..."

He said with a mournful face: "It is said that the Qingming Lantern is scary when it burns, I don't want to break it here, I—"

In the middle of his crying, his eyes suddenly widened, and the ending of the sound made a sharp turn, which almost split him.

Wu Xingxue followed his gaze and turned her head to look, and saw Xiao Fuxuan only paused in front of the Qingming Lantern for a moment, then walked forward.

There was a light sound when the long sword collided, and the hem of the robe fluttered, and the strong black boots could be seen.

The Qingming lanterns on both sides only flickered a few times, as if there was a moment of hesitation.The next moment, they fell silent again, completely disregarding that they had just let go of a High Immortal.

Ning Huaishan: "??????"

This time, he and Fang Chu were really shocked.

"Why can the city lord enter?"

"Why can he get in without your hands and feet?"

"He didn't even look like he was in for the first time."

"City Lord?"

They turned their heads to look at their own city lord, and saw the city lord's thin neck and chin covered in the silver-white fox fur. After a while, a sentence popped out from his lips: "I don't know, can you two go?"

"..."

"Walk."

Until he passed through the heavy black iron gate, Wu Xingxue was still thinking about the phrase "Why did he get in, it doesn't even look like it's the first time."

He could actually guess why.

Because in that dream, Sang Yu said that when his two gadgets were spying on the bird, he saw the Heavenly Celestial Immortal.If the dream is true, it means that the former Tianxiu Shangxian never disturbed the Qingming Lantern when he came to Zhaoye City, and he never tasted the feeling of Qingming's ghost fire burning his body.

And Ning Huaishan said that the Qingming Lantern was set up by him, and if he wanted to do it, he might have to do it.

Then there is only one answer——

A long time ago, when he was the lord of Zhaoye City, he had already given convenience to Xiao Fuxuan.

……

Wu Xingxue's footsteps froze.

He followed the figure subconsciously and walked forward. When he suddenly raised his eyes, he realized that he had entered a mountain path before he knew it, and he was standing in a mountain fog.

After only taking such a slow step, he saw Xiao Fuxuan's tall back submerged in the pale mist.

The fog was unnaturally thick and unusually cold.

When Wu Xingxue walked through the white mist, he felt the mist passing by his neck, as if a large drop of ice water fell on the back of his neck and flowed down his back.

The cold made him close his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, the scenery in front of him had completely changed.

The dense fog fell behind, and at the feet was a white stone boundary marker crawling with vines, engraved with beautiful handwriting on the boundary marker: Luohuatai.

In front of it is a meandering orange light, like a long dragon, starting from the mountain road in front of you, and winding all the way to the horizon.

Under the illumination of the lights, one can vaguely see buildings connected to squares, open windows, pavements and stalls at different heights, and people's shadows coming and going.

All kinds of flags flutter among the shadows of the mountains, and the nearest long flag has four characters written on it:

Luohuashan City.

Wu Xingxue stood for a while, then raised her foot and walked towards the long banner.

He lowered his head and passed the long banner, and the lively voices of people came towards him like the tide rising suddenly in the sea of ​​no reason.

Although he has no memory at all, when he heard those noises, he suddenly felt that this was here.This was the Luohuashan City back then.

But the real Luohuashan City has been burned down and disappeared hundreds of years ago.

What are these in front of you?

Just now when entering the city gate, the guards said that the Falling Flower Terrace has changed a lot in the past few days, and there are often lights on the mountain.

Could it be that he accidentally stepped into the illusion?

Then this illusion is too real.

This mountain city does not look like it is built on a mountain road, but more like a long endless street.The floor is paved with white stones, and the pavement is not tight enough. When you step on it, it will slightly tilt to one side, and when you let go, it will fall back firmly.

The closest to him is a three-story tea shop, the pavilion is built against the mountain, but it is not crooked.

Long strings of lanterns hang down from the cornices. Many people are sitting in the tea shop, chatting and laughing. A storyteller sits in front of the hall, holding a piece of Xingmu, and his words fly away.

The waiter in the shop had a white cloth towel on his shoulders, and set up a stall outside the hall, yelling straight into Wu Xingxue's ears: "The spiritual tea fried in the fairy spring of Luohuatai, one pot can cure all diseases, two pots of thousand-year-old worry-free— —”

Wu Xingxue: "..."

The tea flag on the side of the stall had been swinging there for a long time, he couldn't hold it back, he reached out and touched the edge of the tea flag...

This illusion is a bit powerful, even the grain of the coarse cloth is clear.

"Hey, Lang Guan! Don't talk about my Sheng Qi!" The waiter said to him, "Do you drink tea? My tea is a must, and you won't be able to taste it outside of Luohuashan City."

Wu Xingxue shook her head and was about to say, "No need."

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure in front of him, about three to five feet away.The man raised his sword to push away the floating Busheng on the pavement, sideways to avoid an old man pushing a cart, and was about to be drowned in the crowd.

Wu Xingxue strode over, just about to call out "Xiao Fuxuan".

As soon as the word "Xiao" came out of his mouth, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.The next moment, a palm gently covered his nose.He took half a step back, slamming his back into the warmth.

Xiao Fuxuan's voice rang in his ear, very low: "That can't be called, it's an illusion."
