There are bandits in Zhongshan

Five-color stone?

Changli paused in her thoughts, unable to react for a while, she looked into Zhong Mingzhu's eyes, and saw the undisguised joy in the other's slightly lighter eyes, and there seemed to be something flying in her heart, light and fluttering, a moment ago. The dullness was swept away in an instant, and then a myriad of emotions surged up like a wave.

The arms around Zhong Mingzhu's shoulders tightened suddenly, she hugged Zhong Mingzhu tightly, and said: "Azhu..." She wanted to ask what was going on, but when she opened her mouth, her voice seemed to choke.

In the past few years, she knew that the end was approaching, but she locked her fear and reluctance in her heart, and told herself day by day: I must hold on, Ah Zhu is working so hard to find a way, and I can't drag her down and make her more sad.

So she has been calmly welcoming the precariousness of every day, even if she doesn't want to be separated from Zhong Mingzhu, she never asks Zhong Mingzhu to stay with her for a while.

Now a turning point suddenly appeared, and those emotions that had been borne for a long time broke out in an instant.

"Really, really..." She was almost unable to utter a sound due to the soreness in her chest, and finally said these words, her vision was completely blurred by the dampness.

"Really, really." Zhong Mingzhu kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then hugged her tightly, stroking her vest one by one, "It's absolutely true."

At this time, Zhu Maolin pushed the door and entered. He had been guarding near the Tiantai Peak, preparing to perform the soul-locking spell for Changli. Zhong Mingzhu's shouts fell into his ears clearly, and he rushed to him immediately. over here.

"What did you say? Do you know the whereabouts of the five-color stone?" He was in a hurry, and he was not as calm as before. When he entered the room, he saw Zhong Mingzhu and Chang Li embracing each other. Stepping over to Zhong Mingzhu's side, he asked, "Where is it?"

Zhong Mingzhu was worried that Changli would be tired, so he helped her back to the bed before saying, "In Yunzhongcheng."

"Cloud City?" Zhu Maolin frowned, "Could it be the treasure house of the Cloud God?"

"No." Zhong Mingzhu held up the roll of parchment, waved his hand to write lines of words in the void, sealed them into a jade talisman, and said while writing, "According to the above records, it is in the city of clouds Under the seven spiritual veins."

Zhu Maolin looked at the parchment in her hand, saw the runes on it, and was shocked: "What is this? Why is there an inscription of the gods on it."

It turned out that those strange runes on the back of the Great Wilderness Sword Manual were divine characters. Although Zhu Maolin couldn't read the meaning, but because of Zhong Mingzhu, he could recognize what kind of characters they were.

"This is not only the inscription of the gods, but also Haotian's posthumous writing." Zhong Mingzhu will roughly explain the process of discovering this roll of parchment, "It records the location of the five-color stone, and I have marked the location. Please take a look at it, Mr. Zhu. " After finishing speaking, she sent the jade talisman to Zhu Maolin, just now she transcribed the inscription in the contemporary language, and then sealed it in the jade talisman, so that Zhu Maolin could understand it.

"Haotian's posthumous writing?" Changli's mood had calmed down a bit, and when he heard Haotian's name, he asked, "What did you write?" Before Zhong Mingzhu could answer, she suddenly thought thoughtfully: "Back then In Zhuoguang Mountain, Ruoye and I saw Zhuoguang's jade statue, and there was an inscription under the jade statue, Ruoye told me, it mentioned that Haotian had sought the method of recasting the immortal bones, could it be that?"

"Is there another matter?" Zhong Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and then he clapped his hands and smiled, "That's it, the position of the five-color stone recorded on this paper is even less likely to be a fake, and it also records that recasting must attract fire from the sky." , it is all without effort.”

Zhu Maolin held the jade talisman in the palm of his hand. The terrain was different tens of thousands of years ago. He spent some time deducing it, frowning and meditating from time to time, with an uncertain expression. After a long time, he let out a long breath and said: "You That's right, it is indeed there, and it needs to use the sky fire as the battle, it seems to be tailor-made for you." There is still a strong doubt in his voice, "But why do you suddenly have this? "

A day ago, Zhong Mingzhu had no clue about the whereabouts of the five-color stone, and fell into despair several times.

"This is actually the long-lost swordsmanship of the Great Wilderness. Somehow..." Zhong Mingzhu's face turned pale in the middle of his speech, and he let out an "oops", as if he had thought of something terrible and was very panicked.

"A Zhu, what's the matter?" Chang Li pressed her hand and asked, in a hurry, she was a little out of breath after saying a few words.

"I'm fine." Zhong Mingzhu hurriedly held her back, and then smiled wryly, "I just suddenly thought that I almost passed by this, so I couldn't help feeling a little scared."

Although the wooden box containing the Dahuang Sword Manual has been lying in the storage ring of Changli, but this storage ring has been in Ruoye's hands for several years. Therefore, I deliberately did not meet with Ruoye and the others. I met Ruoye in Taoyuan by chance before, so I was able to take back the storage ring.And the reason why she met Ruoye was because she was delayed for some time when she rescued those disciples of the Huanglian Sword Sect.

At that time, she had no intention of making a move, but she changed her mind in a flash, otherwise, the storage ring is still with Ruoye.

She thought again: If Li'er hadn't suddenly thought of tidying up this box, she wouldn't have found this wooden box.Thinking of this, I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Maolin smiled slightly and said: "This is the so-called chance, it is destined that Changli will survive this calamity."

Zhong Mingzhu murmured: "That's right, those disciples of the Huanglian Sword Sect, including the monks who chased them down, probably would never have imagined that the Great Wilderness Sword Manual was just around the corner from them at that time." She thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "It was probably caused by Ji Qiancheng back then. Later, I saved his disciples and grandchildren. His sword manual also saved Li'er. It's very mysterious."

Back then when Ji Qiancheng and Changli fought swords in Xiaojing Lake, after losing, the wooden box in his arms fell into Xiaojing Lake, fell into the secret place at the bottom of the lake along with the current, and was picked up by Changli again. The word "coincidence".Therefore, although Wu Hui searched for the Great Wilderness Sword Manual everywhere, he never thought that the Great Wilderness Sword Manual would be out of his hands.

Yunzhong City is powerful and heavily guarded. Among the seven spiritual veins, Ye Chenzhou controls five, and the other two are in the hands of Ye Lianxi. Although those two had stumbled in the Tianyi Sect before, there are countless elites under them. , once you return to Cloud City, you can still call the wind and call the rain.At the beginning, Zhong Mingzhu cooperated with Ye Lianxi as Qian Mianyan, and only when Ye Chenzhou was seriously injured, he defrauded three spiritual veins from the previous city lords. Now that her identity is exposed, it is not easy to seize the spiritual veins, but she No worries at all.

To her, this roll of parchment is like a moment when the willows are dark and the flowers are suddenly bright.

What she is afraid of is that there is no clue of the five-color stone anywhere in the world, and now the news is solid, not to mention the Yunzhong City, even in the Santu River, she has to go there.

But it wouldn't be hard to say that she didn't care about it at all, after all, she once owned one of the spiritual veins, but later gave it to Mu Yun as a gift to help her gain a firm foothold in Yunzhong City.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have handed over that spirit vein to that guy as a certificate." She rubbed her nose and regretted.

After she mentioned it, when Zhu Maolin thought of the letter of appeal for help from Yanlu City, he immediately sighed with emotion: "How can the mystery of karma and reincarnation be explained clearly in one word." He handed the jade talisman to Zhong Ming Zhu, "I intercepted this in front of the mountain gate when I came here. Maybe it's just the right time."

Zhong Mingzhu took the jade talisman, heard the content, and couldn't help frowning: "That Ye Shenzhou is really a wicked person." The next moment she smiled slightly, "That's good, it saves me the time to find him. But the most urgent thing is, Let Li'er recuperate first."

She told Changli about Zhu Maolin's method, and Changli agreed without even thinking about it.She had already had enough of this few moments of sobriety, she nodded, Zhu Maolin immediately went to prepare the magic circle, and Zhong Mingzhu stayed in the room to accompany Changli, thinking about the next countermeasures by the way.

"What did Haotian write?" Changli was still thinking about the previous question, and asked again as soon as Zhu Maolin left.

Zhong Mingzhu gently put the roll of parchment into Changli's hands, saw the involuntary urgency in Changli's eyes, and said softly, "He wrote a lot, and he wrote down all the years he spent with Zhuoguang."

She held Changli in one hand, pointed at the detailed runes line by line with the other hand, and told Changli line by line: "He noticed a change in Kunlun Mountain in Hexu Mountain, and went to investigate and found out where the inheritance Since the beginning of the world was destroyed by a mortal swordsman, I couldn't help being very curious."

Haotian incarnated as a mortal man and met Zhuoguang. As the Emperor of Heaven, he was very ambitious, but he was repeatedly defeated by Zhuoguang's sword.After Zhuoguang sacrificed his life to save his people, Haotian wandered along the Three Ways for thousands of years and extradited Zhuoguang's soul back to his body, bringing her back to life.

It was also during those thousand years that Chong Xiao forged a sword with blood, causing disasters in the world.Haotian felt ashamed of the common people, so although the gods were able to escape the disaster in a corner at that time, he insisted on confronting Chongxiao.More than half of the contents of the notes are the bits and pieces that accompanied Zhuoguang, and the records are exceptionally detailed, and the Dahuang swordsmanship was learned from Zhuoguang's swordsmanship, he felt it was precious, so he wrote it down in another note one side.For the tragic war that followed, there were only a few words mentioned.

"When Zhuoguang was rescued from the Three Ways, Haotian had already found a way to recast the immortal bones, but at that time there were many wars and he had no time to clone himself." Zhong Mingzhu couldn't help thinking of himself not long ago, and his voice was suddenly tinged with sadness .

They are such creatures born with powerful strength, they are not afraid of difficulties, they are not afraid of powerful enemies, and they are afraid of being powerless.

"The Three Realms are about to leave, I leave this book in my former residence to keep my memory—" After reading the last sentence, Zhong Mingzhu sighed faintly. She had heard since birth that the tomb at the highest point of Mount Sumeru was built by the Emperor of Heaven with his own blood and bones. Forged to guard Xie Chong, that is something she still finds unreasonable. To guard Xie Chong, one does not have to give up oneself. Now thinking about it, after Haotian opened up the Three Realms, his wish was fulfilled, so he lost his will to live again. He can't go back to the world he loves.

"He misses her very much." Changli looked at the roll of parchment ecstatically, and the sigh that he heard every day seemed to echo in his ears, "That's why I remember those peach blossoms..."

——So when she saw the Zhuoguang Jade Statue, there was nostalgia and sorrow that shook her heart and soul.

She fell down because of a ray of nostalgia remaining in Haotian, and when she saw Zhuoguang again, that ray of nostalgia woke up from a deep sleep, breaking through Changli's spiritual consciousness in an instant, even if it was just a jade statue, it was enough to make the silence His feelings suddenly recovered, and then disappeared in that mausoleum.The shadow of the sword on the jade wall has dissipated, and it is the last place in the world where there are traces of light.

Zhong Mingzhu saw the slight sadness on Changli's face, and he was very sad: Haotian's biggest regret was that he couldn't stay with Zhuoguang, so he wrote the method of recasting the bones in this volume of notes on, and leave it in Taoyuan.

That was his wish, and an obsession he couldn't get.

"Li'er, I'll save you, and then we'll see all the wonders of the world together." She held Changli's hand, kissed her knuckles that had lost all color for a long time, and said in her heart: No matter what you need to pay cost.

Recasting the fairy bones requires the bones of the real dragon and five-color stones, which are tempered with heavenly fire.

She has been blaming herself for not being able to reach the Sea of ​​Sumeru in time, but she was in vain enlightenment when she saw the method of tempering. The ordeal she suffered under the sword furnace was not for the irreparable past, but for the sake of the past. future not yet to come.

The method of beaming the soul took effect extremely quickly, but within a dozen days, Chang Li was much better. Although there was still a slight morbidity between his brows, he was no longer as weak as before when the wind blows.

After Changli's body stabilized, Zhu Maolin rushed to Yanlu City to secretly protect Muyun and inquire about intelligence at the same time.

Zhong Mingzhu then flew a letter to Lu Lin and Baili Ningqing, asking them to meet in Yanjiu.After Tianyi Sect repelled the strong enemy before, Lu Lin took a short rest in Tianyi Peak, and then took Xuanyu Chiyu back to Kunwu City, intending to integrate Kunwu's power to find the five-color stone, while Baili Ningqing chased Ye Lian Xixi went to the northwest, and it would take some time for them to rush to Yanlu City.Therefore, Zhong Mingzhu did not leave in a hurry, but while planning a way to wipe out those people in Yunzhongcheng, he accompanied Changli on Tiantai Peak.

Although Zhu Maolin promised that Changli will be safe and sound within seven years, she is still not at ease, and keeps guarding Changli all day long, fearing that she will feel uncomfortable.

Another month later, Changli's complexion has returned to normal, his eyesight and hearing are no doubt normal, and his physical strength has also improved a lot. He doesn't feel tired after taking care of the flowers in the yard all afternoon.Only then did Zhong Mingzhu feel relieved, and secretly told Feng Hailou about the five-color stone, ordered him to keep quiet, and asked him to spread some news about dealing with Ye Chenzhou and Ye Lianxi.

On that day, disciples of the Tianyi Sect went down the mountain one after another, and they brought important gifts to visit the school they had made friends with in the past. A few months ago, the Tianyi Sect became famous in the first battle. , and many sects felt that the Tianyi Sect would definitely rise again this time, so they kept a friendly heart, so the sects that received the invitation did not open their gates, held a feast for the disciples of the Tianyi Sect, and earnestly hoped that Get something out of their mouths.

Zhong Mingzhu secretly went to several nearby sects for a walk, and after confirming that the development of the situation was in line with his expectations, he returned satisfied, and bought a jar of wine in the town at the foot of the mountain before returning to Tianyizong.

It was dusk when she landed in front of the bamboo house with the wine jar in her arms, and Changli was pruning the flowers and leaves. She raised her head and smiled at Zhong Mingzhu, and said, "Azhu, you are back." Then she continued to look at the flowers and branches On the ground, under the protection of the Hushan Great Formation, the soil of Tianyi School is rich in spiritual power, even the ordinary seeds grow faster than other places, those precious seeds that take a year and a half to bloom, all have buds at this time , the calyxes of several flowers have been stretched and will bloom soon.

"It's just in time for the flowers to bloom." Zhong Mingzhu sat down on the porch, patted the mud off the wine jar, and sipped from the bottle while watching Chang Li's methodical movements with a smile.

The sleeves are tied up, revealing half of the forearm, and the moon-colored skin is dyed warm in the setting sun. The scissors in the hand shuttle between the flowers and leaves, deftly removing the remaining leaves that are about to wither on the flower branches.

Zhong Mingzhu suddenly remembered that there was a day when she woke up from a drowsiness and Changli was arranging flowers in the courtyard. She was so serious at that time, but there was no shadow of flowers in those black eyes at that time, but now she is one step ahead Reflecting the beauty of flowers blooming under the moon.

When Changli finished all the flowers and branches, the setting sun had withdrawn for the last glimpse of the afterglow. She put down the scissors and walked towards Zhong Mingzhu. Before she got close, she smelled the mellow aroma of wine and blurted out: "It smells so good."

Many years ago, Zhong Mingzhu brewed a lot of good wine on the mountain. She drank it, but she didn't feel any difference from Qingshui, and asked Zhong Mingzhu to call it "violent". But she can recognize the taste of ordinary things.

Zhong Mingzhu touched his nose, let out an "ah", and said, "I should save all the wine that was brewed in the past until now, so that you can boast about every jar."

Changli saw the dissatisfaction in her brows, and said, "You can brew it for me again in the future." After saying that, she reached out to get the wine, but found nothing. She raised her eyes to Zhong Mingzhu, and her eyes flashed Puzzled, "You put two wine bottles."

That is to say, two wine bottles are placed, which means to invite her to drink with each other.

Zhong Mingzhu pursed his lips and smiled, with a sly look in his eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time: "I didn't say that you can drink it with a compliment." Her eyes turned slightly, and her smile suddenly became stronger. Created a spiritual formation to enclose the wine bottle, "The maze I arranged with great pains, you're lucky, a sword broke it, and it made me feel ashamed."

She was teasing at first, but after talking about it, there was a bit of resentment in her voice.She was sure that the maze would last enough time before she gave it a go and went to recast the mountain protection formation. The moment she realized that the maze on Tiantai Peak was destroyed, she seemed to return to the depths of the sword furnace and was once again besieged by death.

Previously, Changli was precarious, so she left everything behind. Now that the future is clear, she cares about the past.

Sensing that there was a trace of fear in her voice, Chang's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, and said, "I'm sorry." She had to do it to protect the disciples, knowing that it would make Zhong Mingzhu sad, and she felt ashamed. But he didn't regret it, "But I can't just sit back and watch my disciples be slaughtered."

"Stupid." Zhong Mingzhu snorted coldly, then waved his hands, "Oh, my lord has a lot, this time let the past go, if you mess up again in the future, don't blame me for being rude."

Chang Li blinked, and seeing her face change so quickly, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, but she felt that if she laughed, she really answered the sentence "don't give me face", so she just pursed her lips slightly, "Yeah." A sound is a promise.Then, she heard Zhong Mingzhu curiously say: "But it's strange, you obviously lost your spiritual power, why can you still break through the maze, even Mr. Bamboo, can't destroy it with one blow."

Hearing this, she looked down at the palm of her hand, and said softly, "I don't know either, I just thought in my heart that I must break the maze, and then I swung my sword, and the maze was really broken." Later, she attacked Ye Chenzhou The same was true for the dark air behind her, all she did was raise her hand and wave it lightly, "It's like... like this..." She murmured and stretched out her hand, her fingertips instantly crossed the mark carved by Zhong Mingzhu. The spirit array touched the edge of the wine bottle.

And the spirit array disappeared without a sound.

"Hey, wait!" Zhong Mingzhu tapped Changli's wrist, trying to force her hand away from the wine bottle.

Without even thinking about it, Chang Li made a backhand attack. She had nothing in her hand, but she used a sword move. With a lift and a push, she deflected Zhong Mingzhu's attack.

Zhong Mingzhu raised his eyebrows, and read: "Interesting." His elbow sank, his fingers hooked Changli's palm, and he fell with it, but he was released in an instant. Changli glanced at her, and looked at her. The interest in her eyes was evident, she knew that she would never give up when she stopped, so the side of the palm passed through her fingers, and when she touched it slightly, her hand was deflected.

Then the two came back and forth, but they started to exchange ideas.

In the past, when Zhong Mingzhu was still studying at Tiantai Peak, she had also sparred with Changli, but she was not good at swordsmanship, and she was often knocked down by the sword in one move, and she couldn't even see how Changli made the move. Now that she has regained her strength, and she is used to fighting with people with bare hands, she gained the upper hand at first, but after that, Changli came from behind. No matter how tricky and weird the moves are, she can instantly hit her empty door, making her even more anxious shock.

This natural Heavenly Dao sword is really powerful, to defeat Li'er, she can only use spiritual power, she secretly said, but she gave up the idea the next moment.

Not to mention that this is a bit of bullying, if both sides are serious, it is hard to predict who will win and who will lose.Now that Changli has no magic power, he can cut through the maze she has set up with a single sword. He is really going all out, maybe her arm is gone first.

Seeing that she had nowhere to escape, and the wine bottle was about to be taken away by Chang Li, she caught a glimpse of the seriousness in those black eyes, suddenly raised the corners of her mouth maliciously, leaned forward, and Chang Li Just as he was waving his hand horizontally to push her completely out of the battle circle, as she moved forward like this, Chang Li's knife was about to slash towards her throat.

"You?" Changli froze, stopped his hands immediately, stared at Zhong Mingzhu with wide eyes, seemingly unbelievable, "You are cheating." She just wanted to take the wine, and there was no move at all. Murderous, even if the palm fell on Zhong Mingzhu's throat, there would be no major problem, but the throat is the key point after all, how could she not move, and when she reacted, she had already lost the opportunity.

"It's called soldiers never tire of deceit." Zhong Mingzhu quickly grabbed the wine with his eyes, smiling very unhappy.

She laughed enough, then raised her head to drink, but missed the stubbornness that flashed in Chang Li's eyes.Just as her lips touched the wine cup, there was a sudden weight on her shoulders, and she was pushed backwards.Chang Li rode on her waist, pressed her shoulder with one hand to make her unable to get up, firmly grasped the hand holding the wine cup with the other hand, pursed his lips and glanced at her, then took her hand, Putting the glass of wine into her mouth, she drank it in a hurry, and the wine spilled a little.

Zhong Mingzhu was lying on his back on the porch, his eyes were on Changli's slender neck, and a few drops of wine that slid down his chin, making him feel drunk under the rising moon that he didn't know when.

"Li'er..." She sat up, of course the little force from Changli on her shoulder couldn't restrain her, the hand that was not caught supported Changli's back, with a little force, she was pushed away She completely fell into her arms, she raised her head, as if she was looking for the aroma of wine, and finally kissed the corner of Chang Li's lips, licking away the remaining wine stains, "Do you know that drinking must be enjoyable?"

It was just at the top of the moon, and the light and shadows in the corridor were graceful, just when the wine was exhausted, the meaning was getting stronger.
