Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

"Li Yuan..." Lian Que stared at the man in front of him, and eased his tone, "The chaos of the Five Dao Pagodas started with you and me, and now the common people are affected, even if you are unruly, how can you stand by and watch?"

"Little Lian, since Pangu opened the world, after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, life, death, prosperity, and prosperity are all planned by the way of heaven. There is a definite number in the dark. How can it be tampered with at will? You are too flattering me! "

Li Yuan glanced coldly, and said with a sneer, "Even without you and me, God will send others to open the door of this catastrophe. Hmph! These years... I have watched your ups and downs for four lifetimes , In the reincarnation of fate, I Liyuan can't even control my own fate, how can I have time to care about other things? Even if Xingran has boundless supernatural powers and exhausted tricks, for thousands of years, he has been devoted to the fate of the people, and even the disciples around him have never paid attention to it. He loves and protects, but he has never stopped a battle between immortals and demons... Speaking of which, how could he be able to turn the tide of misfortune and calamity in this world? He has sacrificed so much to end up in such a bleak end, Is there anyone in the world who has ever appreciated his kindness? If you see him in the future, ask him for me, has he ever regretted the loss of Chenhe in vain? " Li Yuan's tone fell, and his eyes were full of desolation and helplessness.

Lian Que didn't want his persuasion to lead to Li Yuan's many emotions, and said, "Li Yuan, I'm just a mortal cultivator, I never dare to be arrogant, want to change the world and make a great contribution. It's just that since ancient times, those who are capable have worked hard. Our generation of cultivators have taken advantage of the opportunity to understand the fate of heaven, and have a little more ability than ordinary people. In the face of disasters, we should take the responsibility of protecting all living beings. It is not in vain A whole body of cultivation, isn't it?"

Li Yuan sneered, "Oh! Little Lian, I haven't seen you for a few years, but your tone is becoming more and more like Xingran. You are worthy of being a master of Nuwa's lineage, and you take the misfortunes and blessings of the world into your heart. Hmph! I leave Yuan Ke didn't have this kind of heart that cares about all people and is willing to give..."

"I..." I was speechless.

"You don't need to say too much!" Li Yuan's eyes darkened, "Xiao Lian, although I belong to a family of immortals and demons, my position is completely different now. Although my senior brother Jiuyou is dirty, it is an internal matter of my demon clan , free my demons to take care of themselves! I went back to the Western Regions not to save the common people with you, but to save my elder brother. In addition, Xumi mustard was personally entrusted by the master. The mustard seed mustard mustard was split into four, just because I didn't want to be alone, to protect Taining, I promised my master to keep the mustard seed in this life, and I will live up to the trust, but you and I are not on the same road !"

"Wouldn't it be better if the way is different -- don't you conspire with each other?" Lian Que lowered his eyebrows and asked softly.

"Not necessarily, Xiao Lian..." Li Yuan said with certainty, "My affection for you has never had anything to do with this immortal and devil's position, and it will remain unchanged for thousands of years!"

"Then I will go with you on this trip for the safety of my friends. If you take back the mustard seeds, you will indirectly benefit the common people..."

Li Yuan spread his arms and said lazily, "If you insist, then let's go together!"

Because Liuyun shouldered the heavy responsibility of pacifying and returning to the ruins, he could not go together this time. Before the two of them left, Liuyun turned into a dragon body and took them all the way to Wangwang Island.

The three of them landed on the island, and the island is empty now, it seems to be reduced to a dead island, and the former prosperity is no longer there.

Touching the scene, Lian Que sighed, "This small island has kept many memories of me, and it was the first stop when I first came to the human world. Brother, Huai Jin and I have also met on this island several times. This person has passed away, Master Also... Now that I am here, looking back, their voices and smiles are like the moon in the water, and the flowers in the mirror, leaving me alone to guard the sadness... Today I gather with you two here, and I don't know if I will come to this island next time , What kind of situation is it? Really revisiting the old place, only to realize that the years are merciless, how can we predict when we gather and part? "

"The past is fleeting, and it becomes empty. Gathering and parting, everything is preordained in the dark. It is useless to force it to stay, and it is useless to fall in love. Just let this reincarnation end..." Liu Yun looked at the sky. , his eyes were pale, and the Dixiu sword pinned to his waist shot out a blue light, as if he had been touched by it.

Liuyun caressed the blue light sword, and said leisurely, "Lian'er, I have important things to do as a father, so I can't stay for a long time, so I'm leaving, you two should take care on the way!" Baiyun, drive the cloud back.

Lian Que said goodbye to Liu Yun, and went north along Chishui with Li Yuan, heading straight to the hinterland of Riyue Mountain.

Speaking of which, apart from the lineage of the ancient demon clan, the remaining six sects and twelve sects spread all over the Western Region.

For 2 years, there have been constant disputes between Taoists and demons in China. Due to the suppression of the powerful factions such as the Xuanshui Palace of the Shangqingmen, it is difficult for the various factions in the Demon Realm to have a bright future.Since the turmoil in Juling, when it was suddenly heard that the ancient demon master wanted to revitalize the demon world, they all responded and prostrated themselves at the feet of Jiuyou, waving the banner of reviving the prosperity of the day, making waves in the Western Regions, and became extremely rampant.

This time when the two of them came here, they had seen too much of this gossip, although they scoffed at it, they had no time to care about it.The purpose of this trip is clear, one is to recapture the mustard seeds, the other is to save Yikun from trouble, and the other things can only be put aside for the time being.Although Li Yuan has long been well-known in the devil world, but because he has always been a loner, he has no intention of plotting, and there is no one around him who can confide in him, let alone someone who runs errands, he is purely a loner.

As a matter of urgency, Li Yuan proposed to go to the dark market in Riyue Mountain to find out the news and find out where Yikun is locked up.Jiuyou's power is huge, and the two of them are single and weak, with great disparity in strength. Only by rescuing Yikun and uniting with him at that time can it be possible to regain Xumijiazi.

In order to avoid Jiuyou's eyes and ears, the two covered their heads with veils and disguised themselves. They hid in restaurants in Fangshi on Riyue Mountain for several months. The Kun family was imprisoned in his underground palace.

When mentioning the underground palace, Li Yuan couldn't help but frown, quite disgusted.

Lian Que didn't know the details, and reminded, "Li Yuan, after several months of investigation by us, the news of your elder brother's arrest has been known all over the city. Could it be that Jiu You knew that you had left the tower and deliberately let out the wind to lure you here? , so that I can catch you?"

Li Yuan said, "What's the difference between yes and no? What he covets in Jiuyou is only the master's understanding of Taoism hidden in the mustard seed. Now, the remaining mustard seed is not with me, so he can't get it." He threatens me, what am I afraid of him? It's just that the underground palace is too dirty, I really don't like it. Since the senior brother is imprisoned in the underground palace by him, no matter what Jiuyou's plan is, I have to go there as soon as possible. Help him out of trouble, from suffering."

"Then I will go with you."

"No!" Li Yuan flatly refused, "The underground palace is too dangerous. Because I hate the turbid atmosphere of the underground palace, I have never set foot here for many years. I don't know how many tricks there are in it."

Lian Que was unmoved, "Then I should go with you, one more person, one more help, how can I stand idly by in this time of crisis, and I regard you as a best friend, and I will be a good friend!"

"Isn't it... the way is different?" Li Yuan asked rhetorically.

Lian Que smiled heartily, "The roads are different but they intersect, and the friendship remains the same! Didn't you say that? Have you regretted it?"

"Okay!" Li Yuan held Lian Que's hand tightly with his backhand, "Then let's go together. When we go to the underground palace, I have to explore the way first. You mustn't be brave!"

"Ah."

Now that the two have agreed, they don't care what Jiuyou's plan is, and go straight to the Riyue Mountain school grounds.The underground palace was originally built at the bottom of the school grounds, like the floating city in Liyuan, and it is also Beppu where Jiuyou is in the lower realm.

Since it is the Beppu of the ancient Demon Lord, it naturally does not appear in the world on weekdays, and the entrance of the formation is concealed by the formation.The people of the demon clan are inherently surly, and Jiuyou is even more outstanding. He is usually cunning and cruel, and many people are afraid of him.

Although Liyuan has known Jiuyou for more than 2 years, because he doesn't like this person's personality, he has never visited the underground palace, and only vaguely knows the general location.This time, in order to find out the exact location of the formation eye, the two hid in Riyue Mountain for several months, carefully observed the people passing by in the school grounds, and finally found a clue.I saw an ancient demon, who looked like a servant, crossing back and forth several times through a stone valley under the Riyue Mountain school grounds, but suddenly disappeared. I deduced that the eyes of the formation must be hidden in the stone valley. Followed behind, quietly followed into the stone valley.

This stone valley is a thin line of sky, the sky is dim on weekdays, and as time goes on, spider threads are entangled, moss and flowers grow in clusters, the path is slippery and damp, and there is no trace of spirituality.Hiding in the dark, the two saw the servant sneaking all the way to the bottom of the valley, and took out a square token from his sleeve to recite the formula silently. disappeared.

The two of them saw the servant's trick of breaking the formation, and determined the position of the formation's eye. They walked out after the formation's eye became quiet, and saw Li Yuan's fingertips flashing a red light, and they came from the void. A fiery red opening was opened in the middle, and the secret passage hidden in the formation was wide open in front of the two of them.

Seeing the right time, Li Yuan grabbed Lian Que's hand sideways and quickly entered the secret passage through the gap.

I saw a dark corridor going deep into the ground, the wind blew over the stone wall, and there were frequent scraping sounds.

The corridor was very dark, and the two of them were quite careful along the way for the sake of the anti-organ's scheme.

"Li Yuan, what kind of technique did you use first?" Lian Que picked up his steps and asked in a low voice, it was the first time he saw someone break through the formation without using a magic weapon, and he was very curious.

Li Yuan was quite proud, leaned close to Lian Que's ear and whispered, "What's the matter? Seeing that my brother showed his magical powers and fell in love with me?"

Lian Que didn't bother to pay attention, and walked straight ahead after dumping Li Yuan.

Li Yuan chased after him, pulled Lian Que's sleeve, and said angrily, "Be careful! Why can't you stand up to jokes like this? It's just a method of tearing up the void. Back then, I relied on my master to teach me My, the other brothers don't know about it. Your good master Xingran is also a master at breaking formations, didn't he teach you this when he pointed you these days?" Seeing that Lian Que still ignored him, he fell on Lian Que's ears He whispered a few words, "Hey! I never hide my secrets from you. This is the magic formula. When performing the spell, concentrate your mind and use the power of your soul. As long as you find the eye of the formation, you can easily tear it open. It is a way to save yourself from trouble. A good recipe, do you remember?"

Lian Que nodded awkwardly, bowed his head and remained silent.

Li Yuan bent over and looked at Lian Que from below, teasingly, "Bad boy! You have a serious face, what are you thinking about?"

Lian Que cast a sideways glance, and asked embarrassingly, "Li Yuan, you are the one who will teach me this formula that may open the Great Formation of the Shangqing Gate?"

"You?!" Li Yuan turned cold, straightened up straight up, and said angrily, "Still thinking about that stinky Taoist priest? People have completely forgotten you, you are still a muscle, dead like Chenhe temper!"

Lian Que glanced at him, his face a bit embarrassed, "I have something... I haven't left the Qing Dynasty yet, I need to go to the Shangqing Gate in person..."

"What's the matter?" Li Yuan bared his teeth and asked.

"Master was punished for me, and the scars on his back have not faded. I promised him that I must find medicine to heal the wounds on his back in this life. Now, although he has forgotten the past, I can't break the promise, and I will find him. medicine to heal him."

"What hurt?"

"The scar left by the bones and muscles injured by the spirit stick."

"This is easy to handle! When I get back the mustard seeds and use the red spring to refine the medicine, I can restore his flawless skin."

"Then thank you in advance..."

"Let's go, let's get down to business first!" Li Yuan scowled and walked forward to explore the way.

On this road, the road is very rugged and winding, and the light is dim. Every few miles, you can faintly see a corpse oil lamp embedded in the stone wall with a strange blue flame floating. It poured down the corridor, carrying a rotten stale smell, making people want to vomit.

The two of them moved forward in awe. The further they went down, the colder and colder they felt, and the bottomless depths.

Li Yuan frowned and walked silently all the way. After an hour, suddenly, the stone path came to an abrupt end. The two of them were at the end of a precipice. There was a chasm in front of them. I don't know how deep it was. There was a faint roar coming from the ground. , Lian Que walked in front of the cliff and looked down a little, and there was a dark river roaring and rushing down below. The river was very wide, but there was no bridge in the air to the other side, which was very strange.

Lian Que probed into his consciousness and saw that there were no boats on the river, so he secretly transferred his true energy to the bottom of his feet and wanted to use his strength to fly over to see what happened.

Li Yuan didn't want to, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reached out to stop him, took him into his arms and locked him tightly, angrily said, "You silly boy! How could you be so reckless?"

Lian Que's face became hot, and he turned his head to look up, "There is no bridge or boat here, if you don't fly in the air, how will you get to the other side?"

Li Yuan sighed softly, put aside the previous unhappiness, and said, "I shouldn't have brought you here carelessly! My master accepts disciples from the six realms, and there is no distinction between teaching and learning. Jiuyou was originally a ghost cultivator. Before entering the sect of my master, he entered Taoism at Dushuo Mountain. He was originally a person full of evil spirits. On the day when the immortals and demons were separated, he was the first to lead people to the lower realm and establish himself as king. This underground palace was built by him with reference to Fengdu City. , There is another name for this realm in the Six Realms, Ghost City. This place is extremely weird, how can we infer it with common sense?"

"Ghost market?" Lian Que's heart skipped a beat. It was the first time he had heard of ghost cultivators in all these years of cultivation.

"Well, Jiuyou lost control of the lower realm back then, and entrenched here. He claimed to be a demon king, and he only did some insidious deeds for others. Gods and ghosts never refused. In the last battle between immortals and demons, Jiuyou was hit by Gou Chen, and the primordial spirit was killed Splitting, almost lost his life, so he had to close the ghost market and hide in the mustard seeds to restore the primordial spirit."

Li Yuan pointed to the dark river under the cliff and said, "Xiao Lian, the reason why I stopped you is because the water from the dark river below is said to have been taken from Wangchuan by Jiuyou when he broke into the Fengdu Difu. The water of the river, this water seems to be choppy, but in fact it is still, any person or thing passing through the air will be absorbed and swallowed by the river water, and it will never be restored, this is just a trap set by Jiuyou."

Lian Que was frightened inwardly, almost causing an accident, and asked, "But there is no way out here, where should we get to the other side?"

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Jiuyou and I have never dealt with each other, and we are not used to his behavior and dealing with things. It is also the first time I visit such a dirty and dirty place, so let me think about it carefully."

Hmm... Maybe this is over. Next time when I write a story, I will have a little more experience. Talk about some psychological words. The frenzied author is really not confident when he crawls out.
