When Zhong Guanyuan passed through the violent storm and snow and arrived at Jieyou Cliff, which is far opposite to Zizi Cliff, it was the rising new moon. There were only a few people under the moonlight, the moonlight contrasted with the color of snow, and the whole place was filled with panic and helplessness. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
Under the Jieyou Cliff is a cold pool. The water in the pool is deep and cold. The wind and snow fall on the water and break into countless light spots. There is a dead tree beside the pool, which is lifeless at all. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, and ice slag has condensed on the fallen leaves. The woman sitting under the tree was only wearing a thin palace dress. She was holding a wine jar in her hand and singing a line or two from time to time, but it was never clear what she was singing. The woman's body was plump and attractive, and her open-front coat exposed a large area of snow-white skin on her chest. However, she herself was not tainted with the slightest trace of lust, but looked noble and pure.
As soon as Zhong Guanyuan climbed up the mountain, he gasped for air. He pulled off the frenulum covering his eyes, and when he opened them, he saw the dead tree. He was stunned for a while, and soon saw Jiu Huan under the peach tree, and his first reaction was to cover Ji Yihe's eyes.
Ji Yihe was startled and quickly stepped back a few steps: "Master Zhong, what are you doing?"
"Senior Zhong is afraid that you will take advantage of me." Jiu Huan noticed the two of them, but did not get up to greet them. She raised the wine jar from a distance towards the two of them, raised her head and drank. The spicy wine flowed down her thin palace dress, and her front became wet. She didn't seem to have any intention of using magic to clean it off.
Zhong Guanyuan said awkwardly: "I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect Jiu Huan to be so old."
Ji Yihe easily broke away from Zhong Guanyuan's hand, and then looked at the woman under the dead tree with some shyness. She looked clear and clear, but her eyes were wandering and her speech was not very clear. She must have been drunk.
Jiu Huan poured wine one mouthful after another. The wine jar was like a spring and could not be poured out.
Her quietness made Zhong Guanyuan even more embarrassed: "I mean... you are much more beautiful than when you were a child."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior... I remember that I first met senior under this peach blossom tree." Jiu Huan wiped her mouth hard, threw the wine jar aside, and then said, "In the eyes of senior, Jiu Huan has probably never grown up. Let’s go overboard.”
Zhong Guanyuan coughed a few times, cupped his hands and said, "Well, let's not talk about old times today. I wonder if I can have a detailed discussion with Jinghua Immortal..."
"...After all, you have lived too long." Jiu Huan seemed not to have heard what he said, and continued what he just said, "People never think that there are old and young in the world. Senior A god who has lived like this for hundreds of thousands of years doesn't care how old I am, right? It's not equitable at all... Hahaha... "
She suddenly laughed, turned around and took out another wine jar from the void, smashed the mouth of the jar and poured wine into her mouth. Ji Yihe was shocked by her actions. Among the people he knew, even Chong Xi, who had always been wild, would not drink like this.
Zhong Guanyuan had no choice but to persuade her in a low voice: "Jiu Huan Immortal Lord is no longer incarnate, and his longevity is naturally different from that of others... Wait, stop drinking!"
Halfway through, he couldn't help but want to step forward and snatch the wine jar from her, but Jiu Huan threw the wine jar out and smashed it directly at his feet. Zhong Guanyuan was splashed with wine, and Ji Yihe was startled by the loud sound of the wine jar breaking. He quickly ran to Zhong Guanyuan and carefully checked whether he was injured.
As soon as the wine jar was taken away from her hand, Jiu Huan seemed to wake up immediately. She stood up holding the dead tree and said: "Sir Jinghua is taking care of the Phoenix Nirvana in the depths of the volcano. If you have anything, senior, you can tell me directly."
Zhong Guanyuan's steps were intercepted by the wine jar she threw out. He was outside the dead branches, while Jiu Huan was shrouded in the dead branches. His whole body felt exhausted and sleepy. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
"I'm here to retrieve the relics of the Qing Emperor." Zhong Guanyuan's voice was low, and Ji Yihe's heart skipped a beat. He knew Master Zhong was probably a little unhappy.
Jiu Huan looked at them with a half-smile, and her tone became gentler and kinder: "Oh, take it then."
Zhong Guanyuan raised his legs to step over the debris of the wine jar, but in the end he couldn't. He patted Yi He on the back, and then said: "Yi He, go take that peach tree away."
Ji Yihe quickly ran to Jiu Huan's side, raised his hand and pressed it on the withered peach tree. This tree stands tall, with dead branches sharply piercing the sky. You can imagine the lush branches and leaves in summer. The moonlight leaked from the sparse branches, and the whole tree seemed to be full of moonlight, cold and quiet.
Ji Yihe didn't do anything, just touched it lightly, and the sharp and long dead branches of the peach tree shrank little by little. In just the blink of an eye, the entire tall peach tree turned into green-brown seeds. These seeds fell into Ji Yihe's hands, quiet and lonely. He returned to Zhong Guanyuan and stood silently behind him, like a white shadow.
"Take them all, don't leave anything behind." Jiu Huan did not look at the two of them anymore, but looked up at the unobstructed moonlight, "Those who once made me confused are gone; those who once made me sad are gone. That’s it; those who once delayed me are now gone with the wind.”
Zhong Guanyuan felt that the fresh air on her body became more and more active, her expression was erratic and gloomy, the moon covered her body like a veil, the skylight and the waterlight connected, it seemed that this unique person in the world might fly away at any time.
"Elevated into immortality, free and unfettered..." Zhong Guanyuan shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether he was happy for her or worried about her, "As long as you can look away."
Jiu Huan chuckled, sat where the peach tree originally grew, and stretched out his hand to find a wine jar. She smashed the wine jar and threw it into the sky. Then she raised her hand and pointed to the sky: "Look..."
A faint peach color bloomed in the dark night sky, followed by countless peach blossoms. These peach blossoms are also stained with clear wine, and the spicy wine flavor is mixed with the light fragrance of peach blossoms, making everyone drunk even if the wine is not intoxicating. The petals were so light that they quickly fell to the ground after being wetted with wine. Soon, the ground around Jiu Huan was covered with residual red. Her clothes were soaked, and she didn't look embarrassed at all. Instead, she felt like she was enjoying herself.
There were more and more petals, and Jiu Huan stood up. She picked up her skirt and danced and sang in the rain of flowers. Her singing voice was ethereal and melodious, but she still couldn't hear clearly what she was singing.
The flying flowers are everywhere, just like the spring rain; the stars and the moon are bright, not as beautiful as the charming smile of a beautiful woman.
Zhong Guanyuan frowned slightly, with a slightly displeased look on his face: "Emperor Tao is not ready for spring, Jiu Huan, please stop."
Jiu Huan said nothing, and waited until the dance was over before looking at Zhong Guanyuan and saying, "I showed this technique to a young girl who was destined to be there many years ago. She advised me to read less of your messy operas. See more of the great ways of the world, so that your heart will not be cold."
"This is what a cultivator should do." Zhong Guanyuan saw that the peach blossom rain gradually dissipated, and his expression gradually became calmer. Ji Yihe beside him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I always feel that what you write is not a drama, but a great way." Jiu Huan tilted her head and smiled like a girl, "Whether the world says you lie a lot, or slanders you for deceiving the world and stealing your reputation, I always feel that everything you say Every sentence is true and meaningful.”
Zhong Guanyuan didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he turned around and wanted to leave, but Jiu Huan stopped him again: "Well, let me ask you, if I want to see this peach blossom bloom, would you like it to bloom all year round? "
After all, Xiaoyao Dao is not the Supreme Dao who has no love and no desire. She puts aside all the things that disturb her heart, and then asks questions without any scruples that she has never dared to say clearly. She abandoned those fetters, those addictions, and those complicated past events in the peach blossom rain, and waited for the god in front of her to give an answer.
"Do not mess with the order of the Spring and Autumn Period, and do not violate the principles of heaven and earth." Zhong Guanyuan's brows never relaxed. He put the golden lace back on his eyes and said, "Since you know that I am a god, you shouldn't ask this kind of question. question."
"I understand." Jiu Huan smiled and didn't pay much attention to the answer. She continued, "The girl who accompanied me to look at the peach blossoms is no longer here. The dance just now was in honor of her. She also carries the inheritance of the Yellow Emperor. , if there is not a more suitable Xuanyuan Jun, you should find her. In the final analysis, for you, Xuanyuan Jun and this descendant of the White Emperor are just one step in the whole chess game. . It's a pity that when I was young, I didn't understand what kind of existence gods were. I always felt that I was special for guarding the peach tree for you... "
"God, how can I be so affectionate?" She laughed softly again, but the previous depression and resentment disappeared from her brows, giving her a sense of freedom and freedom.
Zhong Guanyuan's footsteps did not stop, and he took Ji Yihe directly to the cliff. His voice came from afar: "We have created an extremely glorious era, and naturally we need to give up many things. And you have inherited a In a time when the ground is full of devastation, one is naturally entitled to many things.”
"Jiu Huan, go find everything you want. They are all hidden in this troubled world."
Jiu Huan watched the two of them leave, chuckled, spilled the wine on the ground, and hummed an unknown tune.
"The cold pond is drunk with fine wine for a thousand days, and the peach blossoms in March have no one to pity."
"When the white snow covers the sky and the green sky is covered, the wine cup with thin makeup will not return."
"Sacrifice without return, sacrifice without return, sparrow reincarnated to find its old bed, who can return if the old nest is overturned?"

"Senior, please enlighten me." The Pure Land of Yunqing Great Sun has been completed, and the red lotus karma fire and black sky demonic flames have covered every corner of the demonic realm, completely isolating the pure air from outside.
Su Yaobai sneered: "Since you have already joined the Tao, don't be so shy as to call me senior."
"You heard the Tao before me, so I should call you senior." Yun Qing retreated while laying down the Great Sun Pure Land. It was unwise to collide with Su Yubai head-on. After all, her purpose was to head to Nanfeng as quickly as possible, rather than risking her life to resist an old-timer like Su Yubai who had joined the Tao thousands of years ago.
Su Yaobai didn't move at all, but the long river of yin and yang behind him instantly turned into reality. It was just an intangible fresh air, but now it actually made a loud noise like a real wave. The Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel on Yun Qing's wrist tore instantly, and blood gushed out. Her face turned as pale as a demon, and she shouted loudly: "The six paths have no life, and she became a demon immediately!"
The entire Pure Land of the Great Sun was covered with a thin layer of blood, and the long river of yin and yang that turned into reality rushed past. The Pure Land of the Great Sun was forcibly suppressed in a small area, like pebbles at the bottom of the river. Under this layer of blood light, the immortal essence cannot invade the interior of the Great Sun Pure Land. Yun Qing now seems to be using the Great Sun Pure Land as a flying magic weapon, trying to escape from Su Yaobai's interception by covering this turtle shell.
Using the devil's blood sacrifice technique, Yun Qing tried to exchange for the same power at the highest price.
The sky darkened, and it was no longer clear whether it was day or night on the sea. Even the dark clouds were obscured by such a demonic aura.
Su Yaobai walked on the waves, chasing after the Great Sun Pure Land, but for a while he was unable to stop Yun Qing, who was escaping with all his strength. After he forced Yun Qing to "turn into a demon instantly", he immediately turned the Yin and Yang River into a virtual image, and the flying swords under his feet separated. The sword light was hidden in the clouds and mist, and the murderous intention was hidden.
"Death to the sin into the body, kill the idea of life!" Yun Qing seemed to have expected what he was thinking. A majestic body like a mountain slowly crawled out of the pure land of the sun. It carried wings on its back, and the magic light in its penetrating eyes penetrated the sky and the earth. The face of the holy body of Yama is covered with dense magic patterns, and there is no cover except for the solid scales on the chest and abdomen. It crawled out from the Pure Land of the Great Sun with its body hunched over. The muscles on its back formed hills, indestructible and motionless.
Yun Qing was firmly guarded by it, and such a huge and majestic body could be controlled like an arm waving a finger. At this moment, Su Yaobai divided his sword light into an array, and countless bright and dazzling holes were pierced through the black sky of the Great Sun Pure Land. The sword light wrapped around the majestic immortal essence and stabbed Yun Qing, but at this time there was a huge thing in front of Yun Qing - the Holy Body of Yama Demon.
Rain of blood and minced meat poured down from Yun Qing's head. She supported the crumbling Great Sun Pure Land and galloped towards the south wind, not caring about the wear and tear of Yama's holy body.
Su Yaobai was chasing after her. To be honest, he joined the Tao a thousand years earlier than Yun Qing, so it wouldn't be too difficult to defeat her head-on. But if Yun Qing really wanted to escape, and when the two of them were in the same realm, he really didn't have the slightest intention to stop her by force.
But his purpose was not to stop Yun Qing, but to delay Zhong Guanyuan as long as possible.
After blocking and escaping all the way, by the time Yun Qing reaches Nanfeng Continent, Zhong Guanyuan will probably have returned to Tiangong.
Yun Qing also realized this at this time, but just like Su Tobai couldn't force her to stay, she couldn't forcefully escape from Su Tobai's sight.
"Senior, do you know what is hidden in Guiling Temple?" Yun Qing was distracted and talking to Su Yaobai while flying rapidly.
Su Yaobai held the flower with the sword in his hand. He looked quite relaxed and said: "It is said that Zhong Guanyuan wrote the historical data in ancient times. It is hard to say how true it is."
"What about Mianfenglang and Shiwandashan?" Yun Qing said loudly.
Su Yaobai knew that she was lying, but he didn't care about this little trick: "You have used the things from Shiwanda Mountain yourself, and the Heavenly Book is there. There are imperial peach trees planted in Mianfeng Corridor, which are no different from ordinary peach trees. In Chunri Flowers bloom and fade in autumn, except...live longer.”
The palace, the annex, the heavenly book, the history book, the peach tree, there seems to be no connection between these things.
"What about Mo Ling?" Yun Qing suddenly remembered the holy land she skipped.
I don't know if it was an illusion or something else, but when Su Youbai spoke about this, his voice became a little lower: "Those things before were just fragments, but Mo Ling's thing has a very big background. The first thing Tiangong took back was that thing." .”
Even the palace and the annex are in pieces. What earth-shattering secrets are hidden in that humble Moling
"It's a chess game."
Behind Su Aobai, the long river of yin and yang turned from emptiness to reality, and the dense sword light poured down like a waterfall. Amidst the roar of the water and the sonorous sound of the sword, his words were smoothly passed into Yun Qing's mind.
"Heaven and earth are the game, and the common people are the sons. It is something that countless sages and great masters have used to play games with the way of heaven."
