The so-called "afterlife", the so-called "reincarnation"...
After experiencing this trip to the Polar Region, Jianchou gradually had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart: Just as the owner of the cottage wondered, is there a real "afterlife" in the world
Even if reincarnation still exists in the world, its rules will turn a person into a blank sheet of paper again, losing all memories of the past, and even having new experiences and a new temperament...
In that case, how can Xie Buchen still be Xie Buchen
The revenge and hatred she pursued would no longer have a place to stand.
Therefore, the afterlife is a place she can never find, and it is also a place she will never pursue.
…
He stared at the silver lock in his palm for a long time, from day to night.
It was not until the cool moon in this scene climbed to the window that Jianchou withdrew her gaze. She slowly closed her five fingers, and the silver lock that had been lying in her palm for a long time disappeared along with the gradually disappearing cold smile and boiling murderous intent on her lips.
But she knew very well...
All memories and hatred are actually engraved somewhere in the old times and will never disappear.
Jianchou closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, and there was only peace and calmness in his eyes.
There is a ten-foot-long strip of moonlight under my feet.
She looked down, laughed softly, and walked to the window where the moonlight was shining in.
Everything in this inn seems to be carefully crafted.
The house was built high on the island. Standing in front of the window, she could overlook the scenery below, the green trees on the island, the vague outline of the lakeshore, the long plank road she had come from, the thick fog on the lake, and...
A moon.
Frosty moon.
Because the lake mist was below and did not rise into the sky, and there were no clouds in the sky, it looked very clear, even the outline of the edge and the shadow on the moon were clearly visible.
It can be considered beautiful.
only…
Is there any moon anywhere in the world that can compare with the moon on Yashan
The crane rides the wind and returns to the well, and the beast of war is trapped in the arena;
Clouds emerge from the cliff and mountain road, and the river flows by thousands of tombs.
The high man on the stage plucks the stars, the high man in the palace grasps the moon;
Try to draw your sword, then put it back into the sheath!
"Draw your sword..."
Jianchou just looked at her like this, and finally some warmth appeared in his eyes. So, at the moment when the breeze blew, he stretched out his right hand towards the void outside the window!
“Crack!”
The cloudless night sky was suddenly broken by a streak of astonishingly bright blue!
Like the dazzling sword light, like the edge of a sharp knife, like a dragon flying down from the sky - this is actually a blue lightning!
Lei Xin!
She pinched two fingers and clamped the lightning between her fingers. At the same time, the spiritual consciousness in her mind surged out. In the blink of an eye, there were illusory words, like smoke and clouds, that merged into the lightning.
"Respectfully addressed to Master Fu Dao Shanren..."
Pinch your two fingers together, then gently release them.
The azure blue lightning regained its freedom, and like a mad dragon, it penetrated into the heavy fog and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Night, Yashan.
The thin and cold moonlight spreads over the broad top of Lingzhao Mountain.
The sword-drawing platform was still at the end of Lingzhao Peak, towering high, supported by the nameless rusty sword, thirty feet above the ground, casting a thick shadow on the ground; it was not yet the month for the cranes to return, and in the Returning Crane Well there were only shallow ripples left by the breeze, some wind, rain and thunder letters that the disciples had not read in time, and a sleeping crane alone in the corner...
Big fat goose.
Two "swoosh" sounds of breaking through the air were heard.
Two faint rays of magic light, with a faint tail of light, came closer in the blink of an eye and landed on both sides of Lingzhaoding almost at the same time.
Although they were still some distance apart, the two people recognized each other instantly and greeted each other.
"Fourth Brother."
"Junior brother."
One of them was wearing a white robe with an ancient cloud pattern on the lapel, and a peach blossom was climbing up diagonally from the cuff, looking very elegant.
The other one was not tall, slightly plump, with bright eyes, and indeed had a lively and naive look.
They were the fourth disciple Chen Ju and the eighth disciple Jiang He of Fu Dao Shan Ren.
The two of them went to different places a few days ago to deal with some things, but unexpectedly, they came back together tonight. Both of them were a little surprised.
The fat boy Jiang He walked towards Chen Jiu, blinked, and asked in confusion: "Fourth Senior Brother, didn't you go to Wangjiang Tower and Kunwu? Why are you back so soon?"
Chen Jiu curled his lips, took two steps forward, and rolled his eyes: "What kind of effort will it take to go to Wangjiang Tower? On the other hand, when that old monster Hengxu heard that our master was in seclusion and couldn't go, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot!"
"this… "
Jiang He didn't know how to interrupt.
There will be another small meeting of Zuo Sanqian in the near future.
As the current law enforcement elder of the Central Region, Zhenren Hengxu naturally has to take care of all matters. Kunwu and Yashan are the top priorities of the meeting.
The deacons and elders of the upper five gates have all gathered at the main peak of Kunwu in the past two days to discuss the small meeting.
But...
Another giant in the Nineteen Continents, their master who only knew how to eat chicken legs, was very disrespectful... and went into seclusion.
Jiang He still remembered that before he went into seclusion, this Elder of Yashan, who was "renowned throughout the 19 continents", sat beside the Guihe Well, watching the wind signals that were as sharp as cow hair needles, the rain signals that were as sharp as water drops, and the lightning signals that were as flashing as electric snakes.
He held a greasy chicken leg in his left hand, and stroked the big fat goose with his right hand, while he kept chattering.
"They are all brats. What's wrong with practicing faster than me?"
"I, the mountain watcher, will come out of seclusion this time and I will punish you to death!"
"Humph, if that bastard Hengxu asks me where I have been, just tell him that I have been in seclusion and don't care about worldly affairs. When will I come out? God knows."
"By the way, when I'm in seclusion, remember to feed me the elixirs. I've been raising this fat goose for so many years, but I couldn't bear to eat it..."
"Silly goose, you said you were too."
"You've taken a dozen elixirs, so why can't you become a spirit?"
…
Well, in the eyes and heart of the master, how could a mere Kunwu chief, Hengxu Zhenren, be compared with his precious big white goose
Jiang He thought about it, looked up at the sky speechlessly, and mourned for the highly respected Master Hengxu.
However, the topic needs to be changed.
He coughed, glanced in the direction where Chen Jiu came back, and said, "Master Hengxu has never been able to do anything to Master, so there is no need to worry about it. However, when I came back from Zen Buddhism, I received a message from Brother Five..."
"Old Five?"
Chen Jiu was stunned and greatly surprised.
"I thought he died out there! Did he remember to send you a letter?!"
"… "
Although Fifth Senior Brother Bai Yin and Seventh Senior Brother Yu Zhifei were not the same, they had been wandering outside for many years and had not returned to Yashan for nearly a hundred years. But their life tablets were all kept there in good condition, and nothing had happened to them!
How can we assume that they are dead
Jiang He didn't even have the energy to roll his eyes. He just glanced at the exaggerated Chen Jiu and twitched his mouth: "Fifth Senior Brother is now in Tomorrow Star Sea..."
"Also in the Sea of Tomorrow's Stars?"
Before Jiang He could finish his words, Chen Jiu suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise and actually interrupted.
Jiang He was stunned: "Really?"
"Kunwu Wang Que is now in Tomorrow Star Sea." Chen Jiu hurriedly explained, "When I was leaving Kunwu in the evening, I saw Wu Duan received a thunder letter, so I asked him. He said that his fourth junior brother Wang Que's thunder letter was in Tomorrow Star Sea and would be back soon."
"Ah, no way?"
Although Jiang He is still in the late Jindan stage, his brain is very smart and his mouth is wide open at this moment.
Chen Jiu frowned: "What did Junior Brother Bai Yin say in the letter?"
"They said he was there, and I was planning to come back directly, but there was a piece of news circulating there recently..." Jiang He paused here, as if he was a little hesitant, and looked up at Chen Jiu, "It seems that the Night Cruiser has captured Zuo Liu and is holding him near the Crow Ferry."
"Left stream?!"
At this moment, Chen Jiu's voice suddenly rose and he almost gasped!
But what followed was a sudden burst of light in his eyes!
Left Flow…
After sixty years, this name is not unfamiliar to them at all!
During the trip to the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple, only Lu Xiangleng and others managed to return safely, while the other three either met with accidents or disappeared.
Senior Sister Jianchou of Yashan was one of the two missing people.
No one knows what happened in the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple in the end except the people involved.
They also wanted to ask Kunwu, but the life or death of their talented disciple seemed to be still in doubt, and he seemed to be in a life-and-death crisis.
Therefore, even if the master went to ask, Kunwu would still know “nothing”.
So, what happened at that time became a mystery.
So, where the missing people went became a mystery.
Over the past sixty years, they have mobilized all forces to search for not only Jianchou, but also Zuoliu. Since Kunwu could not get any useful information, if Zuoliu could be found, perhaps they could know the whereabouts of Senior Sister Jianchou...
Some even suspected that this fellow without any sect or school was missing just like Senior Sister Jianchou.
Hard to say...
Went to the same place too!
now…
"He actually showed up..."
Chen Jiu clenched his hands hanging at his sides tighter, and felt his heartbeat quicken: Zuo Liu appeared, so where is the senior sister
"Did your fifth brother say anything else?"
"I just said that I would find a chance to check the situation of the night boat later. The situation of the left current doesn't seem to be very good."
Jiang He shook his head.
"Brother Bai Yin's Lei Xin is always cut so short, and this time it involves that night ship, so it must be a bit complicated, and he doesn't know a lot."
Zuo Liu may not know where the senior sister is going, but it is still a hope, and it is a hope that cannot be given up...
After hearing what Jiang He said, Chen Jiu finally put away his previous dissolute demeanor and frowned: "This is not good news for us. On the Kunwu side, the king is also in the Tomorrow Star Sea..."
"Brother, are you suspicious?"
Jiang He vaguely thought of something.
Chen Jiu did not comment, but only looked up at the stone pavilion on the cliff of Yashan Mountain and said, "Wang Que is a calm person, not a dangerous person. However, I am not close to him, so I have no way to infer. Since this matter has happened, why don't we go talk to the head of the sect first and then discuss a countermeasure."
Jiang He naturally had no objection at all.
He nodded, and was about to fly into the air with Chen Jiu, climb the stone pavilion and go to the Lanyue Palace.
Unexpectedly, just when the two of them were about to take off—
“Boom!”
A loud bang!
Thousands of feet of lightning flashed in the night sky with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, like a startled dragon flying across the floating clouds in the sky and instantly covering the steep peak of Yashan Mountain!
“Crack!”
The lightning moved around, as if descending along the mountain, illuminating the entire Yashan Mountain!
Even with Chen Jiu's current cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, he was still shocked by the overwhelming force of the thunder. In an instant, lightning flashed like a waterfall, pouring down towards the Guihe Well.
"Quack!"
A shrill goose cry that almost broke the throat suddenly sounded from the surface of the cold spring water in Guihe Well.
The big white goose, which had been sleeping in the corner with its head buried in its wings, had never expected such a sudden disaster to happen. It was so frightened that a few feathers fell off, and it flapped its fat wings and paddled its thick webbed feet desperately, trying to swim towards the well bank.
But before it could reach it, soft silver light flashed on the surface of Guihe Well.
It seems to be refracted moonlight.
Hundreds and thousands of them intertwined together, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a wide-mouthed bowl-shaped formation.
The lightning that almost submerged the entire Guihe Well, after entering this "bowl", turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye, leaving only a blue lightning as thick as a baby's little finger, quietly floating on the water.
Jiang He was stunned.
Chen Jiu was also stunned.
The heavy light and shadows dissipated, and the cliff mountain that was illuminated by lightning just now had returned to a quiet darkness. Only this suspended lightning remained in front of the two people.
This one…
The one that exudes a familiar aura is Lei Xin!
This is…
Chen Ju could no longer retract his gaze, and his heart suddenly beat violently, making him almost scream out loud!
For most of the monks in the Nineteen Continents, this was just an ordinary night.
But for the sad...
This night seemed so unusual.
Jianchou stood by the window for a long time, calculating the time when Lei Xin would leave, and then thinking about how her unreliable master would react after reading the letter.
Maybe he would cross his legs, eat chicken legs, and call her a "heartless little thing"
The smile on her lips deepened a little at the thought.
But she didn't stand by the window for long.
The letter he sent had briefly described his whereabouts and safety during this period, as well as his current whereabouts and what he had encountered. Chen Ming had to deal with Zuo Liu's affairs, so he would return to Yashan in a few days.
As for Kunwu and Xie Buchen, there was not a single word about them.
Even though Kunwu and Yashan are incompatible, they are still the two major pillars.
The master and the real person Hengxu didn't seem to get along well, but they hadn't yet reached the point of falling out. For now, it would be better for her to slowly resolve the grudge between her and Xie Buchen.
Now that the letter of safety has been sent, what we need to focus on is the matter of Zuo Liu.
As Jianchou was thinking, he had a step-by-step plan in his mind. He just walked back from the window, sat cross-legged on the cushion in front of the eucalyptus, focused his mind, and summoned the Dou Pan.
The bright starlight filled the entire house in the blink of an eye.
Lines of Kun and pieces of Dao, following the most ancient laws of heaven and earth, are arranged on the Dou Plate, interweaving into a mysterious picture.
Thousands of spiritual energies gathered from all directions and merged into Jianchou's slightly bright brows.
She seemed to be bathed in starlight, or controlling it. Suddenly, she felt as if she was floating in the air, as if she was not in this world...
The only thing that is solid is that fighting plate!
A fighting plate that is enough to make most of the monks in the Nineteen Continents doubt their lives—
Middle Nascent Soul stage, three meters!
Jianchou closed his eyes, stretched out his hands, and formed a training hand seal, but a strange smile appeared on his lips...
What emerged in her mind was the three-meter fighting plate of Fudaoshanren in the out-of-body stage, and the three-meter fighting plate of Qu Zhengfeng at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Suddenly I feel a little bit excited..."
As for what to expect, she didn't know.
Jianchou's handprint changed again, and in the blink of an eye all distracting thoughts disappeared.
Since leaving Jiyu, she has not practiced seriously, let alone carefully felt the power hidden in her current Nascent Soul stage. Now that Yehangchuan is a "big enemy", Jianchou dare not give herself the opportunity to be careless.
So, the whole night was spent in cultivation.
She finished her practice at dawn the next day.
On the bookshelf in the room were many books and jade slips about the Tomorrow Star Sea prepared by the inn. Jianchou naturally flipped through them quickly and calmly, and soon had a basic understanding of the "customs and practices" of the Tomorrow Star Sea.
Finally, a jade slip was returned and left between her eyebrows.
Jianchou recalled the contents of the jade slip and thought for a moment. Then he decided to go out and find a place to inquire about the news about Zuo Liu and Yehangchuan according to the plan he had thought of last night.
But just as she was putting the jade slip back on the bookshelf, a flash of light suddenly appeared on the book next to it.
It was the "Zhi Lin Sou Ri Xin" that she took from the boat yesterday.
The so-called "daily update" naturally means "daily update". It seems that there is the latest news about Tomorrow's Star Sea to read.
Jianchou's mind changed, and the hand that was about to be retracted reached out to the jade folder, took it out, and opened it again.
Everything looks no different than when I opened it yesterday.
In addition to the above, the changed handwriting -
"Thunderous news, shocking news in the starry sea!"
"Yehangchuan secretly captured Zuo Liu yesterday. He may be offered a price at the Silver House in three days!"
