When Song Liyou and Yun Qing returned to the central pool, they found that Amang and Xie Yao had been waiting there. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
Xie Yao's eyes widened when he saw the two of them getting along harmoniously. He originally thought that Yun Qing and Song Liyou would be in a life-and-death situation when they got together, but he didn't expect that the two of them were still talking and laughing.
Yun Qing was also surprised here. She and Song Liyou had the help of the astrolabe, and their backgrounds were unusual. She thought they would be faster than Xie Yao and the others, but she didn't expect that to be the case at all. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that they both spend their time fighting among themselves.
Xie Yao was about to step forward to speak, but suddenly thought of something, blushed and stepped back.
"Daoyuan, how are you doing here?" Yun Qing didn't know why.
Xie Yao shook his head, nodded again, and blushed even more. He held back his words.
"Boy, why are you such a sissy?" Song Liyou couldn't stand it anymore. He was so angry at Yun Qing that he wanted to take it out on this boy.
Xie Yao actually didn't refute. When Yun Qing came closer, he quietly pulled her over and said, "This Qing Emperor's Hundred Flowers Seal... Why, why does it look like this?"
Yun Qing was startled, thinking about what the Blue Emperor's Hundred Flowers Seal could look like, when he sensed Xie Yao's situation the next moment.
As he spoke, flowers of various colors flew out of his mouth, mixed with bursts of fragrance. Due to the emotional fluctuations, hundreds of flowers appeared all over the body, and a subtle fragrance floated around.
Yun Qing had never seen the Hundred Flowers Seal before. She guessed its general function through the Heavenly Book. Seeing Xie Yao's situation, she could only hold back a smile and said: "You are really talented... I just saw the Qing Emperor's Hundred Flowers Seal." It’s already possible to condensate visions.”
Song Liyou naturally sensed his situation and laughed unceremoniously: "It's true that you are a sissy."
"How's it going? Are you and Aman going well?" Yun Qing turned around and smiled at Song Liyou, and his laughter disappeared immediately.
"Except for this vision, everything went smoothly... Amang carried me around for a long time, and when I opened the door, I saw a hanging flower garden..." Xie Yao said while spitting out flowers.
Yun Qing really couldn't stand it, so he stopped asking any more questions and answered, "As long as it goes well."
"How are you? Did Song Liyou bully you?" Xie Yao asked worriedly.
Song Liyou's nose was twisted with anger: "Bullying!? Which of your eyes saw me bullying her!"
"We get along quite happily." Yun Qing replied casually.
"That's good." Xie Yao felt relieved. He was afraid that without Amang's deterrent, Song Liyou would do something dirty to Yun Qing.
The actual situation is that Yun Qing took advantage of Xie Yao's absence and secretly attacked Song Liyou.
"Where should we go next?" Xie Yao asked uneasily, and secretly glanced at Song Liyou.
"I'm with you." Song Li smiled sadly.
Xie Yao suddenly became unhappy, spitting out flowers and said: "You are so uneasy and kind-hearted and you still want to follow us. Besides, you don't even have a physical body!"
Song Liyou covered his nose in disgust: "It smells weird, don't talk to me, grandpa!"
Yun Qing felt that the current situation was a mess and couldn't help but have a headache: "My idea is to go to a nearby city to recuperate and make long-term plans..."
"You think I'm willing? It's better than you not even having a physical body!" Xie Yao couldn't use curse words, so he could only use the "no physical body" to poke Song Liyou's pain point. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
Yun Qing was still frowning and thinking about the future: "Now that this has happened, I believe everyone needs to calm down and digest what they have learned. For example, Daoyuan, you need to consolidate your marrow and cut bones, the Hundred Flowers Seal also needs to be condensed, and then Song Liyou's Fengchun print… "
"Oh, it's against you! Even without a physical body, Song will kill you as easily as squeezing an ant to death!" Song Liyou's body glowed with starlight, and Xie Yao took a few steps back in fright.
Yun Qing's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly: "And I also need to recover from my injuries. By the way, I need to understand the situation in Jingdu. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you..."
"What else can you do besides bullying the weak!" Xie Yao frowned. He probably had never had such a quarrel with anyone in the past ten years.
"The city closest to here should be..."
"Weak? Tell me who among the three of you is weak?" Song Liyou sneered.
"Shut up!!" Yun Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The two people who were facing each other finally stopped spraying each other. Aman stood aside in a daze, looking at this and that, as if he never understood the situation.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!" Yun Qing coughed as soon as his heart was angry, and he couldn't stop coughing. Aman finally recovered from his dazed state and took off the bottle around his neck to give Yun Qing some water.
Yun Qing reluctantly reached out and pushed the pot away: "No need."
It was filled with water from the pool in the center of the palace. She didn't know what would happen if she drank it.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Yun Qing asked after finally calming down.
"The closest place to here is Ci'an City!" Xie Yao stopped fussing with Song Liyou when he saw that she was coughing badly.
"Look at your dog legs..." Song Liyou was not like Xie Yao. He wished that Yun Qing would be angered to death, and he would be happy and relaxed.
"Then let's go to Ci'an City and settle down... Ahem..." Yun Qing lowered her head and covered her mouth to hide her expression. In fact, she had discussed this matter with Song Liyou before.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would part ways with Xie Yao as soon as they stopped in Ci'an City.
Xie Yao and she are not the same person. When Yun Qing's plan for him is completed, it will be the time when he embarks on the path to immortality.
Of course, Xie Yao didn't know what they had discussed, but he just vaguely felt that the relationship between Song Liyou and Yun Qing had changed. He was still looking forward to seeing Fairy Wuxia, who had been thinking about it day and night, in Jingdu.
"Then let's go, let's go down the mountain. Liyou, would you like to show us the way?" Yun Qing was held on Aman's shoulder and sat down, finally feeling more comfortable.
Song Liyou's whole body shivered when she called out "Liyou", and he gritted his teeth and said, "...Follow me."
In the end, he did not forget to glare at Xie Yao threateningly.
Xie Yao sprayed several golden chrysanthemums on him.

Although it didn't seem like a long time, in fact several people had stayed in the sacred mountain for several days. It was early morning when they finally came out of the cold mountains.
The early sun in the distance is getting warmer, and the chill of the autumn morning melts into a brilliant light.
Walking back along the road up the mountain, you can gradually see some sparse travelers. They were journeying from the barren land in the south to the prosperous north. Under the sunshine, everyone's face is filled with hope. They believe that they have the future they want at their destination.
Ci'an City was less than half a day's journey away from them. Xie Yao didn't have his donkey, so his steps were slower. The few of them could barely reach the city gate at noon.
"etc… "
"Wait a minute."
Song Liyou and Yun Qing said almost at the same time.
The city gate can already be seen here, and I think Ci'an City is very close. The further north you go, the more the yellow sand rages. Thin layers of sand accumulate on the ground, and when the wind blows, it turns into a fog barrier. Song Liyou has the best eyesight among them, but Yun Qing doesn't need to use his eyes at all.
"I didn't expect you to be a famous person, hahaha..." Song Liyou burst out laughing.
Xie Yao couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of him, so he frowned and said nothing. Along the way, he spoke less and less. It wasn't that he didn't want to say anything, but it was a bit embarrassing to spit out flowers when he opened his mouth.
"The arrest documents for the Xie family have arrived. It may be difficult to enter Ci'an City." Yun Qing said with some worry.
"Wha, what!?" Xie Yao opened his mouth and shouted, and a bright red peony fell to the ground, "Then let's go around it, okay?"
The Xie family is quite powerful in this area from south to north. At the beginning, Xie Yao and Yun Qing calculated their timing and walked through several small cities in succession before the Xie family could react. But after spending a few days in the mountains recently, the Xie family finally spread the arrest warrant to the traffic arteries and important cities along the route. This Ci'an City is no different from the few remote towns we passed before. It is one of the most prosperous places in the south, and it is also the place where the current national master made his fortune. The control of this place is much stricter, and there are many talented people and strangers. Most people with criminal records dare not pass by here.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..." Yun Qing was about to say something, but she couldn't stop coughing, and faint bloodshot eyes oozed from the corners of her mouth.
"Don't think about it. It takes three days to walk to the nearest city from here. She will be hopeless after three days." Seeing her coughing, Song Liyou quickly cooperated and said, his heart was bleeding, in order to deceive Xie Yao This kid Yun Qing is really capable of doing things to himself.
"What should we do?" Xie Yao asked anxiously, not caring about the scattered flowers at this time.
"How about if you call me grandpa, I will change your appearance for you?" Song Liyou looked at him with evil intentions.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Liyou, don't wait any longer." Yun Qing said weakly.
"Tsk..." Song Liyou glanced gloomily at Yun Qing, who seemed to have only one breath left, and touched Xie Yao's face with his hand.
Xie Yao only saw a flash of blue light. He touched his face and had no idea what Song Liyou had done.
Yun Qing nodded, and his face finally looked better: "Let's go in separately, so it's more hidden. Liyou turned into a soul and left first. Amang and I will be here soon. Daoyuan, remember to follow us."
Song Liyou knew that Yun Qing wanted to send him away first before explaining the matter to Xie Yao, so he didn't say much, and his whole body turned into a gray mist and disappeared in a flash.
Now there were only three people left on the roadside.
Yun Qing took the Heaven and Earth Pot from Amang's neck and handed it to Xie Yao: "Hide it with you in case you need it."
"How can this happen!" Xie Yao declined, he had already discovered that this palm-sized pot was not a mortal thing. Yun Qing had taken good care of him along the way, so how could he be embarrassed to take her magic weapon again.
"It's not an important thing. The most important thing is for you to save your life." Yun Qing said lightly, stuffing the Heaven and Earth Pot into his arms, "This thing is called the Heaven and Earth Pot. It can hold the vastness of the heaven and the earth... and it can also break the seal and so on. .”
"The water in the pot is taken from the pool of the Shrine. It has its own magical effects. You can explore it yourself." Yun Qing added, not feeling reassured.
Aman turned around and walked towards the city gate. She sat on Amang's shoulder and looked back with a smile: "It's a long way to go, I have one more thing to tell you... When things go, they go, and when they stop, they stop. The news is flooding, taking the records of the heavens, But remember to stick to your heart when things happen.”
Xie Yao didn't understand what she meant for a moment, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Just as he was thinking hard about what Yun Qing's words meant, two gatekeepers at the city gate had already walked towards him holding a portrait.
———————
In the city, in front of the fortune-telling stall.
A young scholar was dressed in a bird's fur coat, with unkempt eyebrows and a somewhat unruly air. A tall, strong man walked slowly beside him. The man only wore an open-breasted animal skin coat in this early autumn. He was strong and powerful, but his expression was blank. Sitting on the shoulder of the big man was a girl with a sick face, about ten years old, with her eyes closed and coughing intermittently.
"How?" The scholar was Song Liyou who had entered the city earlier.
"Being taken away by the Xie family, he has already found a glimmer of opportunity. If he can survive all these twists and turns, he will definitely be able to step into the immortal gate." Yun Qing closed her eyes, but Song Liyou felt that she seemed to be looking at the fortune-telling stall. .
He also turned around and saw a few big words written on the stall: "Fate is determined by God, destiny is determined by oneself."
Yun Qing suddenly laughed loudly, his voice unspeakably hoarse and deep.
"Hahaha, if destiny goes against your will, what punishment or blessing? Instead of leaving your life in the hands of God, it is better to jump out of the chess game and see who is controlling all living beings above the blue clouds!"
