Gu Fuyou felt that he had had a long and gloomy dream, and he could not remember anything in his mind. His body was sinking in the boundless black sea with no bottom.
I don’t know how long it took, but I felt like I was being pulled by a strong force, as if I had fallen from a height of ten thousand feet in an instant. I felt weightless, oppressed and hit at the same time.
She opened her eyes suddenly, her silent heart beating loudly. She was like a dying patient, taking a long breath in her throat, her heart was beating rapidly, she couldn't learn how to breathe, and she started coughing violently.
She turned over, her head was swollen, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a while. She remembered that she was on the Zhuling Platform, and her flesh and blood must have turned into a pool of blood. What kind of place was this? Could it be the underworld
She realized that she was lying on the ground just now. She raised her hand, looked at it, and shook it. She felt that it was not a dream, and she was not a lonely ghost. She stood up, staggered, steadied herself, and looked around, seeing humanoid ice sculptures in different postures.
She felt this place was familiar for some reason. The wall in front of her was made of solid ice, but it reflected people's figures. She was stunned when she saw her figure reflected in it. She slowly approached the ice, touched her face towards the ice, and swept her little finger across the corner of her eyes. of red.
She quickly walked to the opposite side, pushed open the door made of ice, walked outside, and looked back - Ruizhu Palace.
The passage in front of me seems to be endless, and the mountain walls are still covered with solid ice. She hurried forward, kept walking, and walked out of the cave.
She stood on the mountainside, and the mountain below was covered with countless pitch-black scorched rocks. The clouds were dense, the rain was pouring, and the sky and the earth were dim. She stared blankly at the sky and the earth for a long time, walked into the rain, faced the rain, looked up to the sky and laughed stupidly, looking crazy, pointing to the sky and shouting: "If the sky doesn't accept me, there will be no peace for the Xu Ling Sect!"
Lightning and thunder could not cover up her stern words.
…
Time flies by, and seven hundred years have passed.
Cities, towns, mountains, rivers and rivers are no match for time and have undergone some changes, let alone people. This is exactly what happened.
A figure stood on the edge of the Zhuling platform. She wore a long dark green feather satin dress, three thousand green silk threads like flowing clouds, and blood-red agate beads in her ears. Green feathers hung from the bottom, gently moving in the wind. Below the Zhuling Platform, there is a sky high in the sky, and the wind is cold and strong. She lifts up her skirt, wearing a pair of jade legs and no shoes, only a silver chain around her ankles.
She held a feather fan in her hand, which was also green in color. She placed it gently on her chin, propped up her elbows, lowered her eyes and looked down at the sky under the Zhuling Tower, and said with a faint smile: "There are no armors in the mountains. It's so cold that I don't know the year. No." It’s really annoying to think that in the blink of an eye, it has been more than 700 years outside, everything has changed, but the Zhuling Brocade has not changed..."
After a while, she felt a strange movement in the wind. Then a person hurriedly walked up behind him and said with an apologetic smile: "The sect is busy with things. It's a sin to keep the seniors waiting for a long time."
She turned back, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. The person who came had deep eyebrows and clear eyes, a long beard, dark colored clothes, and a warm smile. This face was so familiar that she would never forget it. She said: "Today is the birthday of the sect leader, and we have caught up with the Xu Ling Sect's Pill Refining Conference to celebrate the sect together. As the sect leader, you also need to entertain foreign guests, so it is difficult for you to come and see me despite your busy schedule. I just don't know that the sect leader has met me. "Why?"
Zuo Yuezhi said with a smile: "Senior, I saved my great-granddaughter's life. I don't know how to express my gratitude, so I want to express my gratitude in person. Please come to the table later. I must offer you a glass of wine."
Zuo Yueyi waved, and the person following him presented a storage ring. Zuo Yuezhi said: "There are some spirit stone magic weapons here. Even though they are not worth anything to my seniors, please accept them and let the Void Spirit Sect express their gratitude."
"There is no need for the spiritual stone magic weapon." She shook the feather fan slowly, paused for a moment, and said slowly: "If the sect master is truly grateful, I will give you two slaves from Bailu City. I have just entered the world and have no manpower around me. , I’m not used to having no one to serve me.”
Zuo Yuezhi's eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "Senior, if you want it, I will gladly give it to you. I just want to leave you to rest in the Void Sect for a few days, while White Deer City can select qualified ones..."
She said: "I want to go there in person. After all, I am someone close to me and I need to see it myself."
Zuo Yuezhi said: "Okay. I'll make arrangements later. When senior arrives at Bailu City, senior can choose."
She smiled half-heartedly and said, "Then I'll trouble the sect leader."
"It should be." Zuo Yuezhi became more and more restrained over the years, looked at her calmly, and asked: "This time, senior came into the world, I don't know why, if Xu Ling Sect can help me, I will spare no effort. "
She looked at Zuo Yuezhi for a long time, with a smile on her face and a feather fan covering the corners of her mouth in a playful way: "I feel bored, so I wander around in the clouds."
After she left. Zuo Yuezhi said to the person beside him: "How did the investigation go?"
The man said: "I haven't been able to find out where this Qingluan came from. It seems that it appeared out of thin air a few years ago and has been traveling around. I met Miss Qingqing years ago and saved her. My subordinates checked it out. It was indeed an accident. What worries does the sect master have?”
Zuo Yuezhi pondered: "After the battle between the Qingluan Clan and the Dragon Clan, it was rumored that there were only three Qingluan left. They went into seclusion ten thousand years ago, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. Think about it, after being silent for ten thousand years, why did they suddenly enter the world and not return? In Zhongzhou, instead of returning to Ruizhu Palace, he traveled around the four continents."
The man said: "This subordinate is stupid."
Zuo Yuezhi chuckled: "When Qingluan was prosperous, among the three branches of the clan, Qingluan was the most respected. All the clan leaders in the past generations came from Qingluan. Now that Qingluan has declined, Dayu is in charge, and the power has fallen. If it were you, you could Are you willing to return to the clan and see the throne that once belonged to you fall into the hands of others and be ruled by others? "
The man's eyes lit up and he said, "Could it be that the sect leader wants to make friends with this Qingluan?"
Zuo Yuezhi clasped his hands behind his back and sighed: "The Dragon Clan has always been competing against the Xu Ling Sect. Now the relationship between the Qingluan Clan and the Dragon Clan has eased, and there is even a faint intention of forming an alliance. If it is allowed to develop, the Void Ling Sect will only fall into a more passive situation. If this Qingluan wants to regain the power in the clan, it needs manpower, and the Xuling Sect has manpower. What it wants is the internal strife of the Qingluan clan, and the collapse of the alliance with the dragon clan. She has made friends with us, and we both take advantage of each other. "
The man frowned slightly: "But... Qingluan always thinks very highly of himself, so he may not be willing to associate with the human race."
Zuo Yue said: "Shao Yu is very close to Da Yu. There are only two members of her tribe left. If she wants to seize power, she can only borrow people from the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan. Unfortunately, now the Dragon Clan's chief and the Qingluan Clan's chief are close. If she wants to borrow someone, she can only choose from the human race."
"Tell me, Qingluan has never cared about the lives of others, and she has been in the world for a while. Naturally, she knows that the Qingluan clan and the Dragon clan are currently at odds with the Void Spirit Sect. Under such circumstances, she is still willing to save her. Xia Qingqing…”
The man continued: "Either he has ulterior motives, or he wants to take the opportunity to show his goodwill to the Xu Ling Sect."
Zuo Yuezhi chuckled and said: "What does she mean after all? I have to test it again."
While the two were talking, someone came in from outside and reported: "Sect Master, all the guests have arrived."
Zuo Yuezhi nodded and ordered to the person who spoke before: "Go and check the people this Qingluan has been in contact with in recent years." He straightened his clothes, waved his sleeves forward, and headed towards the main hall.
When he arrived at the main hall where the banquet was held, all the guests saw his arrival and said one after another: "Master Zuo."
He waved his hand and said: "Everyone is welcome, no need to be formal." Today there were many visitors from the other three sects, one to celebrate their birthdays, and the other to attend the elixir tasting conference held by the Xu Ling Sect and the Wanyao Pavilion.
Zuo Yuezhi looked around and saw Qingluan and Zuo Qingqing sitting together, talking to her.
Zuo Qingqing asked: "Qingyun, what did Grandpa Zeng tell you?"
She glanced at her. When she was traveling, she happened to meet this girl. She just lacked an opportunity to get in touch with the Void Spirit Sect, so she rescued her. This girl has a big heart and is easy to deceive. "He wanted to thank me for saving your life and gave me many treasures."
"It should be."
"But I don't like it."
“…”
She supported the table with her hands, and her loose sleeves slid down, revealing a snow-white forearm. She held her cheek and looked around at the guests who were laughing and feasting. She looked around and saw a few familiar ones. Lu Yandong was not here. Somewhat disappointed.
At this time, a person hurriedly ran out of the hall and said: "Zong, sect leader, the chief of the Dragon Clan and the chief of the Qingluan Clan are here to congratulate you."
Even though Zuo Yue's happiness and anger were invisible, he couldn't help but frown and stand up at this moment. Some of the guests in the hall looked like they were watching a good show, some moved silently to the corners, and some looked solemn and had various postures. Whispering and discussing privately.
As early as seven hundred years ago, the Dragon Clan and Qingluan Clan were in a state of hostility with the Four Immortals Sect. More than a year ago, the leader of the Dragon Clan made an appointment with Zuo Taisui, the former leader of the Void Spirit Sect. Zuo Taisui was defeated and died. The Dragon Clan and the Void Spirit Sect were at war with each other. It seemed that any change could trigger a war between the two parties.
In such a state, Xu Ling Sect will never send invitations to the two tribes. That is, the two races came uninvited, which seemed to be a demonstration.
Zuo Yuezhi hasn't spoken yet. Two figures outside the door have crossed the threshold and are walking slowly. The voices of the guests all stopped talking, and it was surprisingly quiet for a moment.
Zuo Qingqing's eyes brightened and she whispered: "Qingyun, this is Zhong Michu."
Sitting next to Zuo Qingqing, she smiled and said: "What are you so happy about? Do you like her? She killed the old man of your Void Spirit Sect."
Zuo Qingqing wrinkled her nose and said with some confusion: "Both sides made a fight, life and death are determined by fate. Since our ancestors accepted the fight, they gave up life and death. Their skills are not as good as others, so it's no wonder they are." Zuo Qingqing's cheeks were slightly red and said: "She But she is the only person in the world who has achieved the perfection of distraction in just a thousand years, and not many men can do it. I would rather say I admire her."
She couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, thinking that this girl is really big-hearted, why did the Zuo family give birth to such a heartless person. She had also heard about Zhong Michu's battle with Zuo Taisui. She wanted to see it at first, but got stuck by the incident.
After all, Zuo Taisui failed to break through to Mahayana. It is said that when the thunder tribulation came down, he was interfered by a spiritual beast and failed to break through. Instead, he was left with hidden wounds. Because of this incident, she felt that God still had eyes for it. .
While she was talking to Zuo Qingqing, the person had already approached. She couldn't help but cast her eyes over. She hadn't seen her for a long time. She couldn't remember how many years it had been. In the human world, it should have been more than seven hundred years ago. She didn't know if she still remembered that there had been one. She is such a person.
The woman's clothes are black and she wears the Dragon King Mianfu with a snow-white lining. The shoulders of the black clothes are woven with sun, moon and dragon patterns with gold threads, and the sleeves are woven with stars and mountain patterns. What she wears is majestic and luxurious, and her face There was no expression on his face and his eyes were indifferent, but in the eyes of the people from the Void Spirit Sect, he had a look of sternness and arrogance.
Zhong Michu walked closer. Her heart jumped quickly unconsciously. When Zhong Michu walked past her table, their eyes met unexpectedly, and they had a moment of contact.
As if she had been spied on, she dodged her eyes and quickly covered her face with her feather fan. Her movements were too hasty and she seemed to be trying to cover up her face. Then she remembered that this face was different now. Although Zhong Michu had seen this face once, she still couldn't. It's been more than seven hundred years, I'm afraid I've forgotten it, so why are you panicking? She slowly put down the feather fan again, and sure enough, Zhong Michu had already walked over.
The man next to Zhong Michu glanced at her twice. The man had long brown hair, a characteristic of the Daji clan. He was dressed gorgeously, and he must also be wearing a crown.
She covered her feather fan and asked Zuo Qingqing in a low voice: "Who is the man walking next to Zhong Michu?"
Zuo Qingqing expressed doubts that she did not recognize the clan leader of the same clan: "Qingyun, don't you recognize it? That is the clan leader of the Qingluan clan, Jiu Yao."
She replied calmly: "I have not been in the mortal world for a long time. I don't know that it is normal for these descendants."
After a while, he asked again: "The Qingluan Clan has always been at odds with the Dragon Clan, why are they together now?"
Zuo Qingqing covered her mouth with her hands and whispered: "Because of the change of generations. Zhong Michu is different from other dragons. After taking over as the Dragon Lord of the Four Seas, he behaves gently, and Jiu Yao is also very virtuous. It is said that the two hit it off and gradually improved. Regarding the relationship between the two clans, the two clans now intend to form an alliance, and Zhong Michu and Jiu Yao are about to get engaged. "
She raised her eyebrows, took the wine glass in her hand and put it to her mouth to drink. Zuo Qingqing added: "I also heard that they even have a daughter in private, and they just need to get married."
She choked on her drink suddenly, coughed twice, frowned and said, "Zhong Michu is not that kind of person, it's just a rumor."
Zuo Qingqing looked at her curiously: "Qingyun, how did you know she is not such a person."
"..." He let it slip.
Her expression turned and returned to an inscrutable look. She waved her feather fan lightly and said, "I heard someone mentioned her."
