His gaze seemed to penetrate the thick ceiling and reach up to the sky, where he saw the azure blue meteor.
The stars have come.
It arrived at a time that was completely different from Bai Luo's memory.
Chapter 726 Yaoyao and Chongchong
"Hey-ah!"
It is said that Jueyunjian is the place where immortals appear. As long as one is sincere in seeking immortals, he or she can obtain the blessings of the immortals, live as long as the heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon.
However, the road to immortality is not always smooth. Not to mention that the mountains here are steep and difficult for ordinary people to climb.
There are all kinds of monsters and demons lurking along the road.
If you encounter monsters like Hillichuls or Slimes, you may still have a chance to escape with your life.
After all, the Hilichurls rarely harm people. They are more interested in the food, clothes and utensils carried by humans.
But if you encounter those ancient heavy machines wandering deep in the woods, it would definitely be a nightmare.
This machine without self-awareness will ruthlessly kill anyone who tries to get close to it.
Even some of the original gods may not be able to escape unscathed when encountering such things.
What's more, immortals don't seem to like being disturbed by mortals. They have countless tricks and magic. So in the eyes of many people, Jueyunjian is definitely an extremely mysterious place.
But today, from the deep mountains of Jueyunjian, there came a cry that sounded... ...slightly childish.
In the obviously artificially created field, the young figure was struggling to swing the spear in her hand. Under the influence of the Eye of God, the originally heavy spear case was wielded by her like a genius.
The so-called Xia Li Mie Chen is a long spear circulated among the people of Liyue.
Its most distinctive feature is the dragon carving on the handle. It is said that there was originally a dragon-shaped wooden box to store the spear tip. In this way, when the spear is unsheathed, it can kill dragons with dragons.
Now that there is no box, its sharpness no longer needs to be restrained.
This spear, made by the famous craftsman Kunwu, has left countless legends among the people. However, with the erosion of time, the so-called "legend" is nothing more than the so-called "it is said" in the mouths of storytellers.
This spear, known as the Dragon Slayer, was eventually lost to the people along with the fall of the legend.
Later, this gun was accidentally obtained by an immortal, who gave it to his youngest disciple.
That is the little guy who is dancing with the gun—Yaoyao.
But when the little girl was dancing with the gun, it was obvious that she was not concentrating, because her eyes kept drifting to the person sitting next to her.
This person looked to be in her teens, and was wearing formal clothes that did not match her age at all.
However, this formal dress had obviously been modified. For example, the long skirt that was supposed to fall to the ankles was cut to the knees.
It is decent yet also a little playful.
She also embroidered a few crooked plum blossoms on the pure white stockings to make them look less monotonous.
Even the originally pure black leather shoes with heels were decorated with a lot of shiny metal objects.
Especially the cold shining metal at the toe of the shoe, which makes people wonder if she really intends to use it just as a decoration
From this perspective, she seems to be just an ordinary girl.
But when the people of Liyue see her dressed like this, they usually subconsciously avoid her.
Because this formal suit with the red spider lily pattern generally represents a place - the hall of rebirth, which symbolizes funerals and death.
Death is an inevitable part of everyone's life.
But fear of death is also everyone's nature.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people coming to Jueyunjian to seek immortality for the so-called longevity or immortality.
Yaoyao has been paying attention to this girl from the Wangsheng Hall named Chongchong for a long time.
Originally, she thought that this bug was just a new disciple of the immortals, but when she noticed the immortals' [protection] of this person, she realized that something was wrong.
Can't get close to her.
Don't try to talk to her.
You are not allowed to mention the word "brother" in front of her.
This was the first time she met Chong Chong, and several immortals gave her repeated instructions.
It was incredible to Yaoyao that the other party could make these immortals feel so nervous. From then on, Chong Chong left a very deep impression on her.
Also, the so-called protection from the immortals looked like house arrest to her no matter how you looked at it.
Fortunately, this house arrest did not last long. After Chong Chong joined the Wangsheng Hall and experienced countless things, the immortals simply allowed her to contact Chong Chong.
But after actually coming into contact with each other, Yaoyao finally understood why the master chef and the immortals would not let her get close to each other.
"Laurel? It feels so soft. This thing... It's not that easy to kill. You can't drown it with water or burn it with fire. It's impossible to strangle it. It doesn't even have a neck, right? Hmm... Maybe the hall master's Homa can pass through it? But it would be very uncomfortable to be splashed with blood, right? By the way, does this thing have blood?"
When she tried to introduce the laurel given to her by Master Liuyun Jiefeng to Chong Chong, the other party said these chilling words very naturally.
When a normal person sees something like this, they would generally praise it for being cute, right
Why would anyone think of killing it in the first place
But she could also sense that the other party did not make these remarks intentionally.
Maybe it sounds incredible, but in the other person's opinion, it is normal and polite to think of how to kill the other person the first time you meet them.
Anyway... ...under such circumstances, the two people met.
Originally, the immortals thought that these two people who had absolutely nothing in common would end up being just acquaintances.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the relationship between Chong Chong and Yao Yao even surpassed that of Hu Tao, who originally had the best relationship with her.
In the end, it was Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun who gave the explanation.
"Chong Chong has experienced hardships since she was a child. All her relatives are gone. The only person she is close to is her brother. Even after her good thoughts were eliminated, the remaining evil thoughts cannot forget her."
"Although immortals like you and me care about her, this care is accompanied by a hint of caution. After all, she is born to be the epitome of evil, and we cannot ignore the threat she poses to Liyue City."
"To you and me... this trace of caution is like a drop of rain in the ocean, barely noticeable. But this child is very sensitive by nature. Perhaps to her, that trace of evil thought is like ink on white paper, oil stains in clear water, or plum blossoms on the snow. It is very glaring."
"But Yaoyao is different. Although she is young, she is the most enthusiastic and considerate among my disciples. She will not be wary or cautious of Chongchong at all."
"Perhaps... it was this kind of thoughtfulness that reminded Chong Chong of her brother and helped Yao Yao successfully melt the ice deep in her heart. He became the only person besides Hall Master Hu who entered her heart."
Chapter 727: Meteor in the Sky
Yaoyao would focus on Chongchong while practicing shooting, not only because she was afraid that Chongchong would secretly damage Yuegui, but more because of her condition.
How to say it
There had seemed to be something wrong with her since morning.
I heard from the master chef that the Wangsheng Hall was very busy in the morning, but she, who was extremely active in the past, slept until noon and looked listless.
If it were an ordinary person, perhaps the master chef would not care.
But Chong Chong was obviously not an ordinary person, and her condition made him a little wary.
So after greeting Master Hu of the Wangsheng Hall and Mr. Zhongli, the master chef directly asked her to bring Chongchong to Jueyunjian.
But the strange thing is that several immortals examined her at the same time, but they could not find any problem with her. It is no exaggeration to say... ...her current condition is so good that she can kill three rice crusts with one punch.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was not quite right with her mental state.
If she wasn't pretending, then in her current state, she really couldn't continue to stay in Liyue City.
So he left her in Jueyunjian.
In order to prevent her from feeling that she was being monitored, Master Liuyun Jiefeng made up an excuse, saying that Yaoyao was going to practice spearmanship in Jueyunjian and she was needed to supervise her.
Then there was the previous scene.
"Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"
Noticing that Yaoyao stopped what she was doing, Chong Chong forced a smile and asked.
"I'm not tired, it's just that it's a bit boring to repeat the same movements all the time."
Yaoyao casually threw aside the famous gun that made many people in the outside world crazy - Xia Li Mie Chen, came to Chong Chong's side, sat down with a "hey", picked up the sweet sunset fruit in the basket next to her, and started to eat it.
But before she started to eat it, she did not forget to give one to Chong Chong.
"I'm telling you, you should practice this. I've seen Master Hu use spearmanship before. He rushed out in an instant, and every stab was accurate. Every stab left a bloody hole. If you get stabbed, you will definitely not survive."
I have to say that the time spent experiencing life in the Wangsheng Hall has brought about great changes to Chongchong.
At least she knows how to restrain herself when speaking now, and won't say anything so horrible and bloody.
But after hearing her description, Yaoyao felt that the sunset fruit in her hand became bland.
Because the bright red sunset fruit looks like the so-called blood hole in the bug's mouth.
"Are you really okay?"
Yaoyao is a very careful person. She can notice that Chongchong's energetic appearance is completely fake.
"It's definitely okay. There's nothing wrong with killing a few people for fun..."
[Buzz—]
Chong Chong, who had just taken the sunset fruit and taken a bite, seemed to have sensed something. He slowly raised his head and looked towards the sky.
"Bugs?"
Yaoyao also noticed Chongchong's action, and she followed his example, shielding the sun with her hands and looking up at the sky. But after a while, she saw nothing.
The weather in Jueyunjian is very good today. This place is above the sea of clouds, and looking up you can see the endless blue sky.
"Um?"
When she looked more closely, she finally noticed the difference.
At the end of the sky, there seems to be a burning fireball. It looks slightly smaller than the sun, and because of this, it is always blocked by the sunlight.
Until... ...it got closer and closer to the ground.
"What is that?"
Yaoyao, who saw this kind of thing for the first time, turned around and looked at Chongchong beside her and asked him.
In a sense, the first person to notice that thing was Chong Chong beside her.
But when she took a look, she realized that something was wrong with the other party.
“Hu…Hu…”
Chong Chong's breathing became heavier and heavier, and beads of sweat kept falling from her face. Her pale lips kept trembling, and she seemed to want to say something when she opened and closed them, but no sound came out.
“Hmm!”
As the fireball falling from the sky got closer and closer, it seemed as if a mechanism in Chong Chong's body was triggered.
Her pupils were moving irregularly in her eye sockets, her neck was twisting mechanically, and her body was shaking as if she was having a seizure.
"Bug, what's wrong with you!"
Yaoyao picked up her laurel immediately, but she did not do so to attack the other party. Instead, she wanted to use her elemental power to heal Chongchong.
But after the grass element penetrated into Chong Chong's body, she was suddenly ejected without any warning, flew about two meters, and fell heavily to the ground.
She was lying on the ground, like a drowning fish, twitching, rolling, and shaking.
"What's going on?!"
Just when Yaoyao wanted Yuegui to inform the immortals, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng had already flapped his wings and landed.
Chong Chong's exclamation just now made her, who had been paying attention to this place, rush over immediately.
Originally, she thought that something had happened to the evil thoughts in Chong Chong's body, but when she came over, she saw Chong Chong lying on the ground, looking very embarrassed.
Yaoyao, on the other hand, had no problems at all.
"I don't know either. She just looked up at that, and then she became like this."
Trying hard to steady the twitching bug, Yaoyao pointed at the increasingly obvious fireball above her head and spoke.
"that?"
