Although Yu Linling is a rare magic weapon that can be worn in place of the teleportation circle, it has the same flaw as the teleportation circle, that is, it can only be teleported to places where she has been before. Jiuzhongyuan was over, Yu Linling sent them to the stone forest not far from Wanshen Mountain, and the rest of the road had to be walked by the two of them.
Since the war a few decades ago, people and animals have disappeared in places that were rarely inhabited, not to mention villages and towns, and not even a single bird can be seen.
The ground was full of rough stones and gravel, and Changming was walking with a bamboo stick, and his feet were stubborn. Xu Jingxian simply wrapped the surrounding dead trees and boulders with gauze, flying for a while, stopping for a while, or sitting on the stone to rest, waiting for Changming to catch up. .
For this reason, she also complained and complained a lot.
"Why is this place so hot? Is there a fire underground? I feel like the soles of my feet are about to burn when I step on it!"
"This road is full of stones. No matter how I go, the embroidered shoes are almost worn out. I knew I should have called a sedan chair!"
"Can you walk faster, my forehead is sweating, why are you slow!"
"I'm dying of thirst, is there a source of water nearby?"
Chang Ming's ears became calloused by the reading, and he looked up helplessly.
"Auntie, you are a monk, not the daughter of an ordinary big family. Those stones can't wear out your shoes, and thirst is just an illusion. With your cultivation level, you won't die if you don't drink water for three days and three nights. "
Xu Jingxian pouted: "Then what should I do? I hate this ghost place, how long will it take to arrive, I want to go back!"
Changming stopped to look.
"It's probably still dozens of miles away. It would be nice to be able to walk before the sun sets."
"The sun sets?!" Xu Jingxian raised her tone instantly, "You don't look at the sun, it's poisonous and hot, it's still hanging in the sky, when will it go down! I don't care, you can tie the sect master, why? You don't even know how to fly, so hurry up, or I'll beat you up!"
Changming calmly said: "I was injured yesterday in the fight with your Sect Master Zhou, and you saw it. It's not bad that I can still walk now. If you hurt me, I don't have to leave. We will rest on the spot for a few days. Bar."
Xu Jingxian couldn't do anything about him, gritted his teeth, flew to the ground, lifted the person, and the yarn ling flew out from his waist, landed on a slightly smooth and flat boulder, found the next foothold, and flew the person over.
Changming pointed at Jiangshan: "Why don't you fly directly to the control of the object now, with your current cultivation base, it is not difficult to fly directly to the edge of the stone forest in one breath."
Xu Jingxian: "If you talk about it, I'll leave you behind!"
Changming really shut up.
Xu Jingxian could naturally fly over in one breath, but she wanted to save her energy, and she was afraid that this place would be unpredictable and something unexpected would happen suddenly. A clear and cold mist filled the sky, making it difficult to see the way forward.
Afraid that the fog was poisonous, Xu Jingxian didn't care whether the embroidered shoes would wear out or not, and walked with Changming to the ground, and was half a step behind Changming.
Chang Ming didn't care, he stepped forward, the two walked half a stick of incense one after the other, and stopped almost at the same time.
Although the fog is thick, the road around him can still be seen a step or so.
About half a step away from their toes, the hard-to-walk stones and gravel were gone, replaced by a cliff that fell suddenly. The fog obscured the sight and made people ignore the fear.
"How to go?"
Xu Jingxian had never been here before. The closest she was to Jiuzhongyuan was the stone forest where Yu Linling sent them to. At that time, she felt the heat was unbearable and could not stay for a moment. Sweat made the anxiety in my heart worse.
"Jump down, it should be Jiuzhongyuan."
"Should?" Xu Jingxian was suspicious, "Have you ever been here?"
Chang Ming: "I told you, I don't remember clearly, but you have no other way to go except jumping off."
Xu Jingxian did not dare to jump off rashly.
No one knows what lies behind the thick fog, whether it is the venom covered with thorns, or the monsters hiding in the dark, or the bloody mouths waiting for them to throw themselves into the net. Bottomless.
But just when she was hesitating, Chang Ming said "I'll take a step first" beside her, but she actually jumped and disappeared directly in front of the fog.
Xu Jingxian was immediately dumbfounded.
Then she follows, or not
After all, raising real grass is just an ethereal legend, and the peak master of Lingbo Peak is a real benefit. She worked hard for a long time to climb to this position, and this jump is likely to be nothing.
Everyone knows that Jiuzhongyuan is a place where there is no return in a lifetime. After she goes back, she will casually write a story for the sect master. Presumably, the sect master will not be able to hold him accountable. After all, he asked him to send people over.
Chang Ming didn't fall into the abyss and was shattered to pieces. The moment he jumped into the thick fog, his body seemed to be supported by cotton, slowing down the momentum of his fall. Unknown chaos in the beginning of heaven and earth.
He couldn't reach the stone wall with his five fingers. It seemed as if he was the only one left in the cosmos. He wandered and floated around aimlessly. Chang Ming even felt heavy eyelids and tiredness hit his eyes.
But he knew that he couldn't sleep, and this sleep really came and went.
Chang Ming took out a thin needle and pierced it into the acupoint on the back of his hand.
At the same time, a white crane flew out of his sleeve, carried him on his back, leaned over and rushed forward quickly.
The dense fog will confuse the mind, and the paper puppet without a mind will not be affected.
Chang Ming closed his eyes and let the white crane fly out of the foggy sea with him. When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the azure coast, and the sunset in the distance splashed across the sky, bringing gorgeous colors and picturesque poetry.
Those who have never been here may never have imagined that the dangerous Jiuzhongyuan in their eyes is so beautiful and peaceful.
Looking back, the fog was still thick. A half-rotted giant whale was stranded on the beach. Those white mists were sprayed from its nostrils, forming a world of illusions. All over the whale's body, withered bones were scattered, and there were many magic weapons. It can be seen that many people came here with an adventurous mind, and they died here before they could see the real Jiuzhongyuan.
Chang Ming lightly flicked on Baihe's head.
"Xu Xianzi is right and wrong, she must be reluctant to part with me, go pick her up."
The white crane spread its wings and flew out, and soon disappeared into the thick fog.
Changming sat down with his knees crossed and closed his eyes.
Soon, Baihe returned with Xu Jingxian.
Xu Jingxian must have also noticed that there was something wrong with the thick fog. After falling, she held her breath, but because she lost her way, she could only wander around inside. If there was no Changming, the white crane, her fate would definitely be the same as those bones in the long run.
"Xu Xianzi, we met again, stay safe?" Chang Ming teased.
Xu Jingxian realized that her actions had been thoroughly understood by the other party, and Chang Ming must have expected that she would jump down behind to dispatch Bai He in time, but she was very thick-skinned, and she didn't even blushed when she heard the words.
"Don't say thank you for your kindness, why don't I show my respect?"
"Okay, why don't we just stay here?"
Being opposed to the army by the opponent, Xu Jingxian choked and changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
"Minglang, look, there is a town over there!"
Not far from the coast, the village is connected to the town in sight, and there is a spectacular piece. Moreover, because the city wall is made of black stone, it is tall and stable, giving people a more shocking feeling than the big city on earth.
Changming: "You also said that Jiuzhongyuan is the threshold of nine roads and nine cities. What's so strange about towns here?"
Xu Jingxian: "I just didn't expect that there would be people and buildings here. I thought that even the city should be deserted and dilapidated, but who knew it would be so, so..."
Chang Ming: "Mighty."
Xu Jingxian nodded.
Only the majestic can describe the feeling in her eyes.
Changming: "In a place where people and demons are mixed and demons are rampant, people can survive, maybe even more terrible than demons. I suggest that you don't have to rush into the city tonight, spend the night here first, discuss countermeasures, and talk about it tomorrow morning. Yuan knows very little and needs your help."
Xu Jingxian: "I don't know much, it's all hearsay."
Chang Ming smiled: "Then ask the fairy to tell me all these hearsays."
As soon as Baihe rescued his life, Xu Jingxian had a lot of high regard for Changming, and when he heard the words, he didn't object. The two found a place to stay some distance away from the fog. Xu Jingxian built a fire and saw Changming sitting on the fire. The fire was quietly heated in front of the pile and could not help complaining.
"You, a big man, don't do anything, and you want a little girl like me to do it!"
"I'm not in good health. Picking up firewood will consume my energy. I don't have the strength to dispatch puppets. Fairies can work harder."
"I've never seen someone like you, who don't have any face, and talk about showing weakness every day."
Xu Jingxian laughed and sat down too.
After the rays of light gradually disappeared into the night, the sea surface completely turned into a pitch-dark world.
It is easy to hide countless dangers in the dark night, but Xu Jingxian suddenly realized that Changming's decision not to enter the town and village was correct.
It’s easier to get caught up in the unfamiliar place than after entering the city. The surrounding area is empty, and even if there is any emergency, it is easy to be discovered.
"Seeing the dead leaf peak master of the blood sect, he is one of the few people who came back from Jiuzhongyuan alive. He told us that the first occupant of Jiuzhongyuan, named Bo Ye, was a mixed blood of human and demon, described as unusual and powerful. It is infinity, the first deep abyss, it is said that the rivers in the city are staggered and curved, and there are seven bays in total, so it is also called the Seven Stars River…”
Xu Jingxian whispered to him about the Jiuzhongyuan she knew.
But she soon discovered that Chang Ming was absent-minded and didn't listen much at all. Instead, she looked ahead with good eyes.
Xu Jingxian stopped talking and followed his line of sight.
Dark night, white fog.
I don't know when, a person came from the other side.
The robe fluttered, looming, like a fairy.
Xu Jingxian couldn't be surprised.
Instead, she stood up with a hiss and pinched the yarn at her waist.
At this time, in such a place, a person suddenly appears, what kind of ordinary role can it be
The more out-of-the-ordinary the other party is, the more dangerous and unpredictable it is.
Changming didn't move.
He still maintained the posture of sitting by the fire, looking at the man.
Every step the other party took, it confirmed the familiarity in his memory.
Cloud did not think.
The name floated in my mind, rolled in my throat, and finally chewed on the tip of my tongue, but it turned into a silent sigh.
Last night, stars last night, wind last night, thousands of miles of red dust and hundreds of feet of ice, vast and vast, separated by life and death, we still meet after all.
like a cycle.
