Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

Blood cloud vortex, thunder and lightning storm, double-headed python, flame and smoke... all disappeared, like a nightmare that came in the middle of the night and went away at dawn, waking up with the dawn of the eastern sky.

Only gold shavings rained down on the ruins, proving that it did exist.

The sky was half-light and half-dark, and a gap was added to the sky.There the clouds split neatly, showing a long scar.It seems that the door is slightly opened, revealing a line of stars behind the door.

It seems that some gods use the sky as a canvas, draw a line of black ink casually, and sprinkle silver glitter on the ink, creating such a mysterious scene.

After the battle, the surviving group of monsters regained their five senses, looked at the sky in a daze, their minds were shocked, and they forgot their pain for a while.A demon reached out to touch Jin Guangyu.

"Could it be... the golden rain from the sky!"

"The demon king is born!"

"The king of Snow Mountain is the demon king destined by fate!"

According to the legend of the monster clan, when the ancient demon king came to the world, there was a vision of "golden rain" that dazzled the demon world.

Whispering turned into cheers, and roars of beasts sounded one after another, gradually joining together.

Ji Xiao couldn't see or hear anything, only that tiny shadow in his eyes.

Meng Xueli fell from the gap in the sky, and the breeze gently supported his body. He was like a weightless feather, swinging leisurely.

Ji Xiaofei took him into his arms, like holding a fragile object.Meng Xueli's body was not hot, her hands were slightly cool, her expression was peaceful and serene, and there was a faint smile on her lips, as if she was having a good dream.

Ji Xiao's lips trembled, tears welled up in an instant, and his vision was blurred.

"Slap." Tears fell, and the sound was extremely soft.Suddenly Ji Xiao's cheeks turned cold, and he was stunned for a while.

Meng Xueli opened his eyes, a faint golden light flashed in his eyes, his eyes changed, like a newborn ignorant baby, and like a majestic king who has gone through vicissitudes.

He stretched out his hand to wipe away Ji Xiao's tears, licked his fingertips, and his expression seemed to be a little novel and joyful: "You are crying."

He returned to Changchun Peak with Ji Xiao after escaping from the secret realm of the vast sea last time, and woke up in Ji Xiao's arms at dawn. one time."

Survival from near death, great sorrow and great joy, great ups and downs.Ji Xiao took a deep breath and hugged Meng Xueli tightly.

The long night finally passed, and the rising sun jumped out of the horizon, illuminating the devastated land.The soft morning sun shone on the two of them like a shimmer.

In the Palace of the Demon King, all the demons who survived the catastrophe, regardless of their race, power level, or previous status, hugged each other at this moment, crying or laughing loudly.

Fortunately, the sun rises as usual, there is still tomorrow in this world.

Que Xianming rubbed his wet eyes, but he didn't feel pain all over his body. He put on a relaxed and unrestrained smile, and pointed at Tianqiong: "They hugged each other now? The sky is still cracked, and no one cares about it?"

The mirage beast opened its arms excitedly, and wanted to run over, and hugged Meng Xueli Jixiao, preferably hugging each other's heads, but was stopped by Que Xianming: "Hey, waste beast, I have a little vision, I want to hug each other." Just hug me!"

Xiao Mirage is not picky, she can hug anyone, she turns to Que Xianming's arms: "You said before, don't call me a waste beast from now on."

Que Xianming couldn't lift one arm, so he patted the mirage with one hand: "I'm not used to you like this, it's kind of weird."

The mirage recognized its human form in his eyes: "Then I will change back!"

Que Xianming: "No, that's fine."

The mirage was a little confused, not knowing whether it was a strange thing or a good thing.

The abnormal celestial phenomena and terrifying shadows in Fengyue City shocked the demon world.Not only the monster clan, but also the powerhouses of the other two clans felt the huge changes in the spiritual energy of the world.The creatures of the three realms looked up at the sky, no matter it was day or night, the crack was there, but it was not so conspicuous at night.

Countless mortals in the world panic because of this, and small secular countries often open altars to worship and pray to the sky.The monks who have achieved a little bit of Taoism tried to control the flying magic weapon or the sword to reach the crack, but unfortunately they were shocked by the violent wind blowing out of the gap and the powerful coercion contained in the gap, and had to stay away.

What happened in the demon world to produce such a vision?

The Ten Thousand Monsters Conference has attracted the attention of all parties, and almost all the famous big monsters in the demon world have attended the conference.The crazy conspiracy of the king of Lingshan, the desperate move of the king of Xueshan to turn the tide, and the extremely tragic one-night battle started from Fengyue City. After various exaggerated retellings, it spread rapidly in countless versions.

When something spreads to the world, it becomes a story.

For a while, there were different opinions. Some people said that the monster race was going against the sky, and the appearance of this crack in the sky meant that the sky would come to punish it.There are also people who claim that their practice speed has been slightly improved, so it seems that it is not a punishment, but a gift.

Such a major event has happened in the world. According to the usual practice, the monks in the world must of course gather to discuss countermeasures.It is best to know what the saints of the highest realm have to say about this, and listen to the teachings of the saints.This makes people miss when Ji Xiao was still around.

Today, the vast territory of Tianhu Lake is far away in the sky, and Hu Si, the leader of the territory, does whatever he wants and ignores the common affairs, and ordinary monks have nowhere to visit.Hanshan has undergone the change of Jingsi Valley, and the internal division has seriously injured his vitality, and he is currently closing the mountain.

Therefore, in terms of emotion and reason, Mingyue Lake did its part.Many sects sent letters to him one after another, asking Guiqing Zhenren to come out of the mountain to solve the confusion for monks all over the world.

In late summer and early autumn, Mingyue Lake.

In the misty lake, a small pavilion stands quietly in the middle of the lake.In the pavilion, two people sit opposite each other, and a tea set and a small stove are placed on the stone table.

The master of Mingyue Lake, Yun Xuzi, is making tea for Guiqing.The fragrance of tea drifts with the refreshing breeze in early autumn.

Yun Xuzi offered the teacup, hesitant to speak.

Master Gui Qing closed his eyes slightly: "If you want to ask anything, just ask."

Yun Xuzi tentatively said: "Master, this is a good opportunity for my faction to establish its prestige. If we can hold a grand meeting and gather all the factions in the world, we will replace the 'Hanhai Great Competition' from then on... The time and place are favorable, why should we wait? ?”

Master Gui Qing took a sip of tea and frowned slightly: "The fire is not ready yet. If you are too impatient, the taste of the tea will not be brewed."

Although Yun Xuzi didn't understand, he didn't dare to ask more questions, he just speculated in his heart.

After drinking tea, Guiqing said leisurely: "The conference is going to be held, but we can't be in a hurry. Making others more anxious is what everyone expects. Send a letter to Taiheng and discuss it in the long run."

Yun Xuzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Shi is wise. But I don't know, what is the name for this event?"

Master Guiqing smiled lightly: "There was a poem in the ancients that said, 'Nanhu Lake has no smoke at night in the autumn water, and you can take the stream to go straight to heaven'. Now the gate to the sky will be opened, and we monks will really want to 'go to heaven' in the future." He looked down again Glancing at the teacup, "Just call it 'Autumn Water Sencha'."

Yun Xuzi echoed his admiration, and wanted to ask if Han Shan would come, and if so, how to deal with it.On second thought, there is really no need to worry.

If you don't come, you have a guilty conscience. Do you want the prestige created by Ji Xiao for the sect?Come on, ask for trouble, do they dare to say that Meng Xueli is not a demon?The theory doesn't hold water.In terms of combat power, in today's Hanshan, there are no saints among the elders. Judging from the experience of Hanhai's accident, Hu Si will not stand out.Among the juniors, how many outstanding disciples are there?

Meng Xueli's apprentice, Yu Qishu, became famous because of the Jingsi Valley in Hanshan, and his reputation even surpassed that of the head disciple Cui Jing.But in Yun Xuzi's view, Yu Qishu's ability to fight swords with Taiheng was nothing more than borrowing the power of Chu Kong Wuya. He has only been in the Tao for less than a year. Even if he is a true genius, how much skill can he develop?

Yun Xuzi was thinking about it, when Master Guiqing asked casually: "Has that child Jing Di figured it out, is he aware of his mistakes?"

Yun Xuzi felt the pressure: "He, he..."

Master Guiqing smiled very kindly: "It's okay. You have a long lifespan, and you can accept more apprentices. You will always meet sensible ones."

Seven days after the celestial vision appeared, Yun Xuzi, head of Mingyue Lake, finally announced that for the well-being of monks all over the world, on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, an "Autumn Water Fried Tea Ceremony" would be held on the west bank of Mingyue Lake.At that time, the elders of the sects and their outstanding disciples are invited to go to the meeting to taste tea, enjoy the moon, and discuss the weather together.

Everyone knows that in the Mingyue Lake area, there are many mountain springs with sweet and clear water, full of spiritual energy, suitable for making tea. The four characters of "autumn water fried tea" have a very aesthetic style of Mingyue Lake.

But monks with a little more seniority understand that this conference will definitely not be as calm and elegant as the name, but instead reveals that a storm is about to come.

Sure enough, within two days, real Taiheng once again pointed out that Meng Xueli was a demon and not a human being, and now he is in the demon world.If he dares to come to the Qiushui meeting, he will be shown in public to see what Han Shan has to say.

Master Taiheng's attitude was so firm, it reminded everyone of the past, and sparked discussions about the changes in the Jingsi Valley in Hanshan.Under the deliberate dissemination of people, it was said that Ji Xiao had colluded with the demon clan and had plots before he was alive; it was said that Meng Xueli's wolfish ambitions deceived Ji Xiao, and the collapse of the secret land of the vast sea was because of the outbreak of Meng Xueli's demon power, trying to murder the young monks of the human race.

These statements were vehemently refuted, as long as the young disciples who had participated in the competition in the secret realm knew that this was not the case, but the voice of rebuttal was suppressed by the teacher, like stone sinking into the sea.

If it is said that Ji Xiao really colluded with the demon clan, no one would believe it.But if Meng Xueli is really a monster, how could the Wuya Sword of Chu Kong, which was jointly forged by six sects and guarding the world, fall into the hands of a monster clan?Han Shan should clean up the door and hand over the Chukong Wuya Sword.As for the whereabouts of the divine soldiers, according to Ji Xiao's last wish, the young monks of the human race will rely on their own abilities, and at the worst, they will openly fight at the "Autumn Water Fried Tea" meeting to determine a new sword master-many people have this idea.

Rumors are rampant, disturbing one after another.Mingyue Lake Yunxuzi took advantage of the situation and announced that he would invite Han Shan to go to the meeting, explain clearly to everyone, and clear up misunderstandings.Otherwise, Master Guiqing will ask Han Shan for an explanation on behalf of the monks in the world.

Everything developed according to Mingyue Lake's will, and it went smoothly inconceivably.

The cold mountain is riding a tiger.

***

The cold mountain in late summer is covered with snow on the mountainside.The meadow at the foot of the mountain is like a green sea, with wild flowers blooming and colorful.

Although the gate of the mountain is closed and the disciples no longer go down the mountain, the Taoism exchange meetings and sword competitions within the sect never stop.Yanjianping, Library Building, and Lunfa Hall are thriving scenes.

The gates of "Hanmen City" are wide open, the streets are bustling with cars and horses, and the bustling is still there. Instead of being silent with the Hanshan Sword Sect, there have been many casual cultivators coming from south to north, springing up like bamboo shoots after rain, injecting new vitality and vitality into the city .Residents in the city are not surprised, ordinary people and monks coexist harmoniously.

Because the Sanxiu League was established, the main altar was set up in the cold gate city.The facade is very tall and magnificent, like a big inn.

It is not a formal sect, but a loose organization, providing a platform for casual cultivators from all over the world to receive reward tasks and exchange resources.The leader Qingdai is more like the leader of a Jianghu gang than the head of a sect.

The establishment of the Sanxiu League was secretly provided financial support by "Hengtong Juyuan", which is of course not a small sum.According to the requirements of the agreement, the leader only needs to do two things, one is to set up casual repair teams to take turns to work, and maintain the law and order of Hanmen City.Second, after starting to make a profit, Qian Yu will be given [-]% of the profit every year.

When Qian Yuzhi negotiated the deal in secret at first, he was the only one who was happy. The old shopkeeper and old guys who had followed him for many years were all sad and full of doubts.

As the saying goes, "Poor casual cultivators, poor casual cultivators, can't afford two taels of meat during the Chinese New Year." How can it be called "casual cultivators" if you are not poor? How can this kind of business make money?How can it compare to the secret profiteering that connects the two worlds of demons and demons.I'm afraid that the effort is not thankful, and the bamboo basket fetches water in vain.

But Qian Yuzhi has made up his mind.When it comes to business, he dares to do what others dare not do.

That night, with peach blossoms in her arms, Yu Qishu took advantage of the darkness to leave Changchun Peak and quietly arrived at Hanmen City through the teleportation array.

The moonlight is slanting, and the alley is quiet. This is the way to the back door of the backyard of "Hengtong Juyuan", which few people know.

But before he got close, the small wooden door opened with a "squeak", and a black shadow flashed out.The alley was narrow, so he met the man face to face.

It was actually a female cultivator, wearing a blue cloak with a knife on her waist.

Yu Qishu was startled, thoughtfully: "I seem to have seen you before, you are..."

The female cultivator glanced at him, nodded lightly, kept walking, and walked out of the alley in a blink of an eye.

"What are you looking at? I'm back, silly boy." Qian Yuzhi's voice sounded from inside the door.

Yu Qishu turned her head three times: "Who was that just now?"

He remembered.This spring, also in the alley of Hanmen City, a strange girl descended from the sky, her skirt unfurled, like a huge blue flower.

The girl was unreasonable, blocked his way with a knife, and asked him some inexplicable questions.

Yu Qishu never imagined that Meng Xueli defeated Qing Dai and her group of powerful rogue practitioners in the secret land of the vast sea, snatched their storage bags and black cloaks, and even reported to Qing Dai the name "Yu Qishu" of her family.

What the hell is this? How can there be a master who cheats his apprentice?

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade; the predecessors dug holes, and the descendants suffered.As a disciple of Changchun Peak, Yu Qishu has endured too much.

Qian Yuzhi ushered him in, and closed the door behind his back: "The leader of Sanxiu League, Qing Dai. Do you know him?"

"I've seen it before. What's the relationship between you and the San Xiumeng? It seems to be in frequent contact."

"It's okay to tell you." Qian Yuzhi knocked on the table with his folding fan, motioning for Yu Qishu to give him a respectful cup of tea.He sipped his tea and explained briefly.

After hearing this, Yu Qishu was deeply puzzled: "You invested so much money, can you get it back in the year of the monkey?"

Qian Yuzhi shook his folding fan lightly, and asked back, "What do you think of Qingdai?"

A pair of wonderful eyes flashed in Yu Qishu's mind, to be honest: "It's pretty."

Qian Yuzhi was furious: "Am I asking about looks?! I'm asking about qualifications!"

Yu Qishu shyly said, "Oh, that should be quite powerful!"

Only then did Qian Yuzhi answer his last question: "This Loose Cultivator League has no possibility of helping me make money in the next six years, but I am not investing in it, but investing in the future of a large number of young Loose Cultivators. Among them, as long as there is a person If I touch the threshold of a saint, I will make a steady profit. Do you understand?"

Qian Yuzhi sighed: "Actually, senior brother Jixiao and I invested in each other. Although he was out of consideration for his fellow disciples, he didn't expect me to really make money at all."

Yu Qishu's eyes suddenly brightened: "Since you think so, then don't vote for Xiumeng, just throw money at me! Maybe I will become..."

Qian Yuzhi picked up the folding fan and knocked him on the head: "Of course there are other benefits! First, there are some things that are inconvenient for famous sects and aristocratic families to do, but casual cultivators can do them. Second, casual cultivators are well-informed. Very helpful. Thirdly, many young monks would rather work hard than be bound by sects. This may become a trend. Who can say clearly about the future? There is still a gap in the sky. What will happen to the world in the future depends on the youth Where are people going?"

From Qian Yuzhi's point of view, the monks in the past could not survive without a group, unless they betrayed the master's school and were expelled from the teacher's school, they had to wander around the world and fight alone.Times have changed now, and there are more and more exercises and resources that can be traded on the market. The Sanxiu League is a product of the peaceful era.A monk can join a certain sect, abide by strict sect rules, and take care of the relationship with the master and fellow sects; they can also gather in a relatively loose manner and find their own kind freely.

Yu Qishu heard the clouds and mist, half understood, and sighed: "You think so much!"

Qian Yuzhi knocked him on the head again: "Silly boy, I think too much, so that you can think less."

"Then in this situation, help me think about it again." Yu Qishu said, "'Mid-Autumn Festival full moon night, autumn water fried tea party', should Han Shan go to the meeting?"

Even if he is not as thoughtful as Qian Yuzhi, he still knows that "Autumn Water Tea" is just a cover.When doing things in the big sect, the most taboo is to teach someone who is unknown. Even if you use strong words, you must speak some "morality".Mingyue Lake wants to become the number one sect, and this time it is even more important to set an example for other sects.

Now that there is a lot of rumors in the city of Hanmen, let alone the outside world, where should Hanshan go?

Qian Yuzhi only smiled: "The peach blossoms stay here, you will come back tomorrow night."

While thinking about it, Yu Qishu returned to Changchun Peak.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Qishu practiced swords on the viewing platform. After practicing a set of swimming swords, she put the sword back into its sheath, looked at the mountains and seas of clouds, and adjusted her breath.

Daotong Xiaohuai hastily reported: "Brother Yu, Daotong who is in charge of the real person is here, please go to the side hall of the main peak to discuss matters."

Yu Qishu's heart moved: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Xiao Huai asked worriedly, "Did something serious happen?"

Yu Qishu patted the top of his hair: "It's okay, go and sleep in the cage, you won't grow taller if you sleep less."

Along the way, many disciples saluted him: "Senior Brother Yu is good." "Good morning, Senior Brother Yu."

Yu Qishu greeted them one by one.He is friendly to others, without the arrogance of a young genius, and is very popular in the sect.

The little boy in front of the door said with a smile: "The real head of the sect has ordered that Senior Brother Yu go in directly when he arrives, and there is no need to communicate."

Before Yu Qishu entered the palace, she heard the voice of arguing:

"Why let people lead you by the nose. We just don't go, and see if Guiqing dares to fight Hanshan. Why do you have to be afraid of a fight?"

"Don't be angry. If we are absent, don't we let them misinterpret nonsense and take advantage of the truth? Let's go and see what they plan to do in front of each sect. Besides, sects are now united and powerful. .This is an opportunity to come to your door, just to take the disciples down the mountain."

Those who spoke were the two peak masters Liu Lan and Chong Bi.

The real person in charge didn't respond to anyone, and looked at the palace gate: "Xiao Yu is here, sit down and listen."

Yu Qishu should be, and nervously took the last seat, straightening her back.

I heard Ziyan Peak say again: "They thought that they had the strongest hole card, that is, 'Xue Li is indeed a demon', but our hole card is even stronger."

Everyone tacitly knew that Ji Xiao didn't die because of Han Shan's confidence.

But when will Ji Xiao return to the world?no one knows.Han Shan can't completely rely on Ji Xiao either.

The peak owners held their own opinions and analyzed the pros and cons of opening the mountain at this time.

The head master was silent for a long time, and said: "Tomorrow at the hour of the morning, ring the bell and call all the disciples of the sect to gather in the square of the main hall."

Now that the leader has made a decision, the others will say no more.

Peak Lord Chongbi turned to Yu Qishu: "Xiao Yu, go back and get ready, this is your first time traveling down the mountain."

Yu Qishu was a little flattered by the sudden attention of everyone in the hall: "Me, shall I go too?" How did he know that Meng Xueli used to sit in this position and secretly ate melon seeds.

The master of Ziyan Peak smiled lovingly: "Silly boy, 'the elders of the master's sect will bring outstanding disciples to participate', who else will you go to if you don't?"

Yu Qishu thought to herself, Shopkeeper Qian had really caught her, and came to Hengtong Juyuan again the next night.

"Originally, I wanted to go home to see my mother after I opened the mountain. The plan can't keep up with the changes, so let's wait until the conference is over."

Qian Yuzhi patted him on the shoulder.

As the saying goes, "a poor family is rich on the road" and "a man depends on clothes and a horse depends on a saddle". For Yu Qishu's first trip to the mountains in his life, Qian Yuzhi began to prepare and spent a lot of thought.

First up is the saber.Yu Qishu didn't want to get a new sword, so Qian Yuzhi found the best craftsman in "Hengtong Juyuan", put "Linchi Willow" into the furnace, added rare materials and reforged it, and the style of the furnace remained unchanged.

Qian Yuzhi was very satisfied: "Among the younger generation, it is considered a first-class good sword, except that it cannot be compared with Jing Di's 'Ice Mirror and Moon'."

After the sword was completed, Yu Qishu held the sword in her hand, played with it repeatedly, and was overjoyed.

Qian Yuzhi said again: "Since you have inherited the mantle of the realm master, you may have to learn how to forge weapons in the future. When you are successful in cultivation, you can open the furnace and forge it yourself!"

Yu Qishu was startled, thinking of the notebook "Marrying a Wife", she wondered if that could be considered a "legacy".If I get the Tao, will I also be regarded as a standard if I write a few books "Experience in Raising Rats" and "Handbook for Planting Flowers"?

Then there is clothing.Qian Yuzhi cut three sets of new clothes for him, all of which were gorgeous rune robes.Returning to the demeanor of a young nobleman, he is no longer a simple small farmer.

Yu Qishu was born in a family, she was quite knowledgeable, and moved, "Thank you, Master Qian, you are so kind."

Qian Yuzhi: "Sword casting materials and clothes are very expensive, and the money will be deducted from your account."

Yu Qishu: "...Oh."

So far everything was ready, Yu Qishu asked Qian Yuzhi: "Will you go with me?"

"No. I'm a businessman. It's better to avoid this kind of showy conference."

Yu Qishu lost her excitement and was a little hesitant.

Qian Yuzhi comforted: "I can see your soul lamp as soon as I look up, don't worry."

Yu Qishu: "I'm not worried about my own life, but the future of the sect."

He didn't go on, Qian Yuzhi understood what he meant, the change of the monster clan, the strange celestial phenomena, and the disputes among the people made the young man feel uneasy.

"When the sea is flowing, you can show the true qualities of a hero." Qian Yuzhi shook his fan, "When you see more, you will know that this is nothing. When the demons invaded the human world, there were internal and external troubles. At the time of life and death, Ji Xiao killed How many people, how many demons... Alas, that's called precariousness.

"If it weren't for Ji Xiao being the strongest, the six sects wouldn't be willing to offer up treasures of heaven, material and earth to make a sword of Chu Kong Wuya. It is precisely because this sword is extremely precious that all sects want to get it, so they have repeatedly used it to make trouble. Ji The Xiao Worship Ceremony set down the rules for the leader of the Hanhai Grand Competition to win the magic weapon. Now that the Hanhai is blown up, it doesn’t matter, and the Qiushuihui will be created again.”

Qian Yuzhi looked at the crack in the sky, "It's good that Jixiao can come back, but they may have other things to do outside of the human world, such as the demon world, such as the sky. You are going to the Qiushuihui this time, as a disciple of Changchun Peak , You must be prepared to fight with fellow monks."

Yu Qishu nodded: "I understand."

On the eve of departure, Yu Qishu dug the soil for the golden peach blossom tree, repaired the lawn of the observation deck, checked whether the money rats were sick, and finally went to the pond to feed the "koi".

Yu Qishu: "Brother Jiao, when I go out this time, I may have to compete with others. I will return the demon pill to you first."

The three sea jellyfish were reluctant to part, and shed tears on the pond.

Dajiao: "Be careful when fighting with others, don't die. Once you die, no one will help me raise Jiaodan."

Erjiao: "Don't listen to the boss's nonsense, our three brothers care about you sincerely, and hope that you will become famous and come back soon."

Sanjiao: "If you see Jixiao, please speak kindly for us. Let's go."

"Wait." Yu Qishu cupped her hands towards the pond, "I'll say hello to Brother Chu again."

The three koi were shaking their heads and tails to have fun and talk nonsense, but after hearing this, they scrambled to dive into the bottom of the pond, huddled in a corner, and kept silent.

The pond returned to tranquility, and a full moon shadow was reflected on the water.

Yu Qishu said: "Brother Chu, I'm leaving. I will fight hard and prevent you from being taken away by others!"

The wind by the pool is still there, and the birds are chirping.

Chukong Wuya did not move, like a cold master sitting in meditation, disdain to pay attention to such trivial matters.

Yu Qishu continued: "I'm relieved if you answer me."

After a while, the moon shadow on the calm water surface was shattered, and there were slight waves.A sound of Qing Yue's sword shot up into the sky, and the pond shook in an instant, the water rippled, and there was a "crash", splashing water on Yu Qishu's face.

Yu Qishu wiped her face, smiled helplessly, and miraculously understood Chukong Wuya's meaning: "Go away, idiot".

He walked across the floating suspension bridge, passed the stone tablet engraved with the word "Changchun", and walked from the verdant green to the white snow.

Just like when he entered the cold mountain, the boy left home and came from the warm south to the cold north.

In less than a year, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and so has he.

***

For Meng Xueli and Jixiao, these things are too far away for now.Once the king of Lingshan died, all the dragons in the demon world were left without a leader, and everything was left to be done, leaving nothing but a mess.The King of the Snow Mountain held down the mansion in the future, and was regarded as the "fate-destined demon king" and the savior of the world.

All the surviving big monsters surrendered, including the old Lingshan department, Huanghu, Xuevine, Gray Wolf and other monster generals, all asked the Snow Mountain King to preside over the overall situation.

Meng Xueli explained: "My body is human now, it's not right."

All the demons persuaded: "The soul is a demon, so it is a demon." "Once the king leaves, what shall we do?"

Meng Xueli had no choice but to stay temporarily, and organized the slightly injured Yaozu to rescue the little Yao who was crushed under the rubble.

Ji Xiao was worried about his physical condition, and sent him real energy from time to time.

The little demons discussed secretly: "You really deserve to be a king! You actually married a virtuous and beautiful human sword cultivator."

All the monsters fought side by side together, and after experiencing the doomsday disaster, they let go of their differences and became unprecedentedly united.The demon kings from all over the demon world are here, brothers and sisters. At this time, no one is afraid that someone will grab the territory again.

King Baihe, as one of the very few demon kings who did not participate in the "Ten Thousand Demon Conference", rushed to Fengyue City that day.The life-saving kit she gave Chichu had a special seal, and when Chichu released a waterfall of white river water, she knew something had happened.

Chi Chu was very excited: "I knew it, you won't leave your brother alone!"

King Baihe patted his hand away: "What are you doing, dragging your family?"

Chi Chu took the gray rabbit, kingfisher, and ostrich: "The King of Snow Mountain asked me to protect them."

Ruan Hui and Bi You were not regarded as "mountain delicacy" this time, but their moods did not improve because of this.

After Baihe entered the city, he saw the tragic scene after the war, with ruins everywhere, and countless little demons who were injured and tortured, and felt sad.She sent the water demon soldiers to distribute spiritual herbs and food, and met the "old neighbor" King of Montenegro, and the two demons continued to quarrel:

"Baihe, I really didn't expect you to be so kind."

"You think it's free? This king can sell it to you."

"You're posting 'The devil is hard to make money'!"

"Forget it if you don't buy it."

"……purchase."

Fei Yu was a little annoyed: "In the same city, when Lingshan was the demon king, he drank and had fun and spent money to his heart's content. When it's our turn, we only have to rebuild after the disaster and support the refugees. Why the fuck!"

"Fei Yu." Meng Xueli summoned him, "Tomorrow you and Ruan Hui will go to the world and send a letter for me."

"But I have never been to the human world."

"Ruan Hui often goes there, you just listen to him and be responsible for keeping him safe."

Meng Xueli didn't arrange for Biyou to go because Biyou was busy taking care of Xiaoluan.Xiaoluan was blessed by misfortune, and the awakening of the Phoenix blood saved her life, but she fell into deep pain after knowing that the court painter was Lingshan and the exquisite murals were demon-eating formations, and Biyou stayed by her side.

……

Meng Xueli patrolled around during the day to appease the injured monsters, and returned to the Zhuli Pavilion to rest late at night, talking with friends and Taoist companions behind closed doors.

He did have a lot to say.

Most of the bustling Flower Street has been destroyed, but the secluded Zhuli Pavilion is still there.A lamp on the desk is like a bean, bamboo shadows are swaying outside the window, and three shadows are facing each other in front of the desk.

Ji Xiao asked, "How do you feel now?"

"It's okay." Meng Xueli recalled: "At that time, the two bursts of power reversed, the Jinghong mirror shattered, my whole body exploded, and I lost consciousness... Then I saw Lingshan. It was not a giant python, but a human-shaped Lingshan. That was us The first meeting scene."

Que Xianming looked at him with ghostly eyes: "Is it your hallucination?"

Meng Xueli shook her head: "I don't know."

At that time, he had only learned to change form not long ago, and he left the snow mountain in a daze, and saw Lingshan for the first time, and it was like this summer.

The red sun is scorching, and the vegetation in the mountains is lush.There is no ghost in the forest, only the sound of a flute is heard, the tone is clear, but the tune is melancholy.He searched for the sound and finally determined that the sound came from a cave.

"You play really nicely, what's this song?"

"No name. I wrote it myself."

"what's your name?"

"This mountain is called Lingshan. I am the only monster in the mountain who can transform into form. You can call me Lingshan."

Mink listens to the music every day and sits outside the cave.Lingshan's tunes are also played to him every day without repetition.

"Lingshan, why have you been avoiding me? Get out of the cave, I won't eat demons who are wise."

"I'm not hiding from you. My body is a piebald snake with the blood of a scorpion snake. Snakes love the cold and fear the heat. I never bask in the sun in summer."

"You said it earlier! My body is a spirit mink, born from the aura of the holy snow mountain. I usually roll in the snow. My evil spirit is the cool snow mountain flavor. You come out and come near me and try."

"Indeed, it's cool and comfortable."

"If you become friends with me, you will no longer be afraid of the heat in summer."

Young Lingshan's eyes sparkled: "Okay."

"I also have a friend who is a peacock, a very beautiful species. I will introduce it to you next time."

"So I'm not your only friend."

"Multiple friends are great. I'll be his bib and you can be his bracelet so neither of us have to walk!"

They hooked their shoulders, walked away laughing and laughing, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Perhaps it is the illusion woven by Lingshan with the last power of life, or it may be the distortion of time and space, and yesterday reappears.

Meng Xueli didn't say this, but continued to explain:

"After that hallucination disappeared, I arrived at a place where it was dark and cold. There was no sky above and no earth below. It was boundless and empty. Then suddenly my eyes lit up, all kinds of lights lit up, countless light spots, spinning ,combustion……"

Ji Xiao asked: "What is that?"

"Xinghai. It's amazing."

Meng Xueli organized words, trying to describe what he saw and felt: "It turns out that the stars are very big and have different light. Some stars are hot and blue, and some are colder and light red. Some are burning, and some are dead. I Passing them, or rather they passing me..."

When he was a child, he often watched the stars on the snow-capped mountains. When the weather was the best, the air in the snow-capped mountains was extremely pure.The night sky is like a cover, the sky is full of stars and rivers, and the five-color light curtain traverses the sky, slowly wandering.The brilliance shone on the ice surface, and the ice surface under the feet became a light curtain of the Milky Way.

But this time watching the stars felt completely different, without joy, he only felt deep solitude and desolation, not sadness.

"My blood, heartbeat, true essence and demon power in my body all move with them. But I know I have to go back, otherwise I will just drift there forever..."

Que Xianming was fascinated: "How did you come back?"

Meng Xueli smiled: "I don't know. Belief, concern, will, anyway, it's not a skill."

Ji Xiao thought for a moment: "The soul leaves the body and travels in the void. There are ancient books that record such things."

Meng Xueli: "But now I have a human body and true energy, and a demon spirit and demon power. Am I a human, or a demon, or a new species that is neither human nor demon? There is no record in ancient books, right?"

Que Xianming smiled and said: "Don't say it's so powerful. Can you use the demon power?"

Meng Xueli: "It can only be temporarily suppressed. It will take a while to master this powerful power and let it be fully used by me."

Ji Xiao touched the back of his neck: "We don't lack time."

Que Xianming felt that he was about to go blind. The two of them only had this intimate gesture in front of them, but there was warmth in their eyes, and the air became sticky.

He got up to say goodbye, and went out to play cards with mirage beasts.Feiyu and Chichu four monsters just joined in a poker table.During the day, I was busy with post-disaster reconstruction, and at night I took a few laps while I was busy.The mirage always loses.

The mirage beast now maintains its human form, a youth who looks like a beautiful peach blossom, but has ignorant eyes.As long as you meet his eyes, you feel that he is dumb and easy to deceive.And it is true.

He exudes a peach blossom and green bamboo scent, when Fei Yu and Chi Chu first saw him, they were shocked and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The mirage beast said in a milky voice: "I am Xiao Mirage." To prove his identity, he let out a soft "ow".

Fei Yu blushed slightly: "Have you transformed?" He originally thought that even if the mirage beast transformed, it would turn into a fat and white appearance.

The mirage beast nodded, feeling a little frustrated.This figure was quite different from the majestic style he had imagined.It seems that the road of cultivation is still very long and arduous.

Chi Chu: "Turned into a human form, you can't just 'oh'. Do you understand?"

The mirage was even more frustrated: "Oh, I see."

After Que Xianming left, only Meng Xueli and Jixiao were left in the room.

Meng Xueli was a little apprehensive, he knew that he couldn't hide from what he should come, and sooner or later he would have to face his Taoist companion alone.

The bamboo sea was rustling outside the window, Ji Xiao's expression turned cold, Meng Xueli preemptively said: "I'm fine, don't bother me."

On this day, Ji Xiao seemed calm, but still taciturn.But Meng Xueli could sense that Ji Xiao's mood was not right, almost to the point where she couldn't control the overflow of coercion.

Ji Xiao: "I'm not annoying you. It's my fault that you didn't trust me enough."

The last time Meng Xueli tried to sneak away and went to the demon world alone, he was furious when he found out.But at this time, when the love is deep, the mind is confused, and the loss is regained, but I don't know what to do.

Meng Xueli didn't think about how to explain it.Both are first time
