The apricot-yellow windmill is constantly spinning, and the wind blows in from the side of the dark room, blowing a windmill inserted in the pen holder to rotate slowly.
This is an empty study room with no lights, only curtains that keep blowing up.
On the desk was a pen holder, an inkstone, and white paper, with a line of small characters written on the lower right corner of the paper.
'Pain is despair, hope, and final redemption. '
pat... ..
pat... ..
pat... .
From the open door of the room, there were constantly subtle and crisp footsteps, like the knocking sound of hard leather boots stepping on the wooden floor.
"Where... is this place?"
Fei Tianci murmured in a low voice, he couldn't restrain himself, and looked up at the door of the dark room.
pat...
pat...
The footsteps are still approaching step by step.
Fei Tianci turned his head and looked out the window. It was pitch black outside the window, and there was nothing, and he couldn't see anything.
Slap.
Suddenly the footsteps stopped, it seemed that the man was standing at the door of the room, standing quietly at an angle that he couldn't see.
Creak... the door opens.
Fei Tianci suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the white gauze mosquito net hanging above the bed. He was panting heavily, his chest heaving up and down constantly, his forehead and temples were covered with sweat.
"It's a dream again." He was exhausted, half propped up and looked around. In the room are light yellow oil lamps, desks, chairs, bookshelves, corner cabinets, and large vases, all of which quietly reflect a faint yellow gleam.
Fei Tianci breathed heavily, and after a long while, he felt extremely thirsty, so he straightened up and was about to get out of bed to drink some water.
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly the door was knocked. Very rhythmic percussion.
Fei Tianci frowned. It's so late, it's already midnight, how could someone knock on the door. At such a time, except for urgent matters, it is reasonable that the servants at home would not take the initiative to knock on the door to wake him up.
"Who is it?" He rolled over from the bed and walked towards the door. "Xiao Nian? What's the matter so late?"
He walked to the door, reached out to hold the latch and was about to lift it, when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
If it was his personal maid, Xiaonian, she would never come to disturb his rest at such a late hour. Xiaonian is a person who knows how to measure, no matter what, he can give people a just right level.
This is also the reason why she can become the maid of the Fei family.
But if it was someone else, according to the rules, Xiao Nian had to be notified first before they could come to find him. Otherwise, this is not in line with the Fei family's family rules.
Fei Tianci's sleepy head suddenly thought of this, his heart tightened, and the movements of his hands stopped.
"Xiao Nian, if you have anything to do, just speak up, and if you have nothing to do, you can solve it tomorrow." He was a little wary after all.
There was no sound outside the door.
Fei Tianci frowned and hesitated for a while, thinking of the recent troubles at home, he took two steps back.
"Xiao Nian?" He called out again.
Boom boom boom.
The knock on the door rang again.
Fei Tianci raised his heart slightly, he hesitated again, and walked slowly to the door,
"Xiao Nian? If you are really Xiao Nian, do you still remember the secret sign we agreed on?" He asked in a low voice.
silence.
There was no sound from outside the door.
Fei Tianci listened carefully. Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, and his originally tense facial expression relaxed, and his face gradually softened.
"Oh... It scared me to death. You should have said it earlier. That's all right, all right, I'll go right away."
He quickly lifted the latch and opened the door with a click. There was nothing outside the door, it was empty and dark.
Fei Tianci, however, was all smiles. He looked around to make sure there was no one there, so he walked out of the room slowly, and disappeared into the dark and gloomy courtyard in a blink of an eye.
The dust was constantly kicked up by the horseshoes. On the official road to Qiuyue County City, a green carriage pulled by three horses side by side was driving on the road at a moderate speed.
Lu Sheng, Wang Yunlong, and the Grand Elder's grandson Yun Xiufei sat in the carriage.
Yun Xiufei looked calm, and was carefully wiping the white long sword in his hand.
Lu Sheng flipped through the scroll in his hand, carefully reading the modern history of Dayin.
Wang Yunlong sat by the window, poured himself a drink, and drank a small wine.
The three of them have their own things to do, and no one interferes with the other.
Lu Sheng read the book for a while, and glanced at Yun Xiufei beside him. This guy finally took good care of his long sword. His handsome little white face hugged the sword as if he was hugging his own son. After kissing him hard, Only then slowly put it down.
"We're arriving soon. The people of the Shangzong Qianyangzong are different from us at Suyue. Everyone keep a low profile. If we can pass the screening test this time, the three of us will be fully developed."
Wang Yunlong smiled, a trace of disdain flashed deep in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Yun is right, but there are so many lower-level sects recommending places, just the three of us, I'm afraid it may not be possible?"
"Success depends on the person." Yun Xiufei smiled, "Junior brother, you have a body that connects the meridians, and this Lu junior brother is born with supernatural power. In addition to breaking through the basic skills in such a short time, the talent is even in previous years. Among the recommended places, it should also be good.
Speaking of which, there has been news that someone from the Fei family has disappeared in Qiuyue County recently, and we don't know if it's true or not. If it happened any closer, we might be assigned this as an assessment task. You are mentally prepared. "
"Fei's family?" Lu Sheng asked doubtfully, since they didn't know the news well.
"It is a family that is responsible for liaison and hospitality between the lower-level sects and the higher-level sects. This Fei family is not a small family. Its children are all over the nearby sects. There are not only children in the upper-level sects, but also many lower-level sects. The true disciples are also members of their family." Wang Yunlong said lightly. "I heard that there have been strange incidents of missing people recently, all of which are aimed at ordinary people without cultivation."
"We happen to be the ones being received, and the matter of the Fei family is likely to be used as an assessment test to set questions against us. It has been the same in previous years. Take the latest case nearby to assess us." Yun Xiufei laughed.
"Do you have any clues?" Wang Yunlong looked at him and Lu Sheng.
"No, I heard that many people have disappeared. Later, even the few masters they invited disappeared without a sound. This matter is a bit tricky." Yun Xiufei said lightly, but there was some doubt in his expression. "I heard my grandfather mention this matter. Let's not stand out. A disciple of Wan Qian's sect will come out this year with a super strong guy. Let him stand in front first."
Both Lu Sheng and Wang Yunlong nodded to express their understanding.
The carriage didn't stop all the way, and soon left the wilderness. There were gradually people on both sides, and there were many forks in the official road. Some horse carts and ox carts were overtaken from time to time, and donkeys with goods saw this carriage, and they all took the initiative. Give Way.
After less than a cup of tea, the huge city wall of Qiuyue County can already be seen from a distance.
Lu Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the huge city from a distance. Just looking at the city wall, it was obviously more than twice as thick as that of Song Dynasty.
Over the heads of the patrolling guards on the wall, subtle pale golden halos could be seen flashing away from time to time. It was a huge shield of energy covering the entire county.
Lu Sheng's heart trembled slightly.
"Sure enough, even ordinary people are not spared, and they also absorb the essence to support the top experts..." He could feel that the endless stream of essence turned into silk threads and gathered somewhere deep in the county city and go.
"This world... really...." Lu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he sat in the carriage and slowly drove into the unsuspecting city gate.
The three of them, together with the carriage, as soon as they came into contact with the light golden shield, they immediately blended into it naturally. A trace of extremely fine energy radiated from the other three, and like the others, slowly drifted towards the depths of the county city. go.
Lu Sheng also sat by the car window and looked out.
Crowded people on the street are constantly passing through the sidewalks on both sides, with a spacious driveway in the middle, horse carts, ox carts, donkey carts, and even masters riding lions, leopards and other beasts calmly marching on the street.
Lu Sheng observed the passers-by one by one. In the huge flow of people, judging from his senses, he could carefully detect everyone within a radius of tens of meters without being noticed by the shield.
"There are indeed quite a few people who possess true energy. One out of ten possesses true energy, but it is extremely rare, and only occasionally encounters one."
His purpose is to come here to find a stronger way to break through the bottleneck. He also found a place to live for his family and Yuan Mozong.
But looking at it now, the overall atmosphere here in Dayin made him a little depressed. It is not necessarily a good thing for the Yuan Mozong and the Lu family to be perfectly integrated into it.
Song Dynasty, Sand Waterfall Plain.
Boom!
On the golden sand dunes, a dark tall figure stepped heavily on the sand, looking up into the distance.
The figure was extremely strange, he was covered in a large black robe, he was thin on the mountain, and his lower body was bloated. Even with the scorching hot sun above his head, he didn't feel human at all, it completely enveloped his whole body.
What's weird is that behind him, on the sandy ground he walked on, there is no human footprint at all, but the residual traces of some kind of snake-like countless tentacles stirred.
click... click... click...
The man walked forward along the sand dunes step by step, a faint gray light shone in his eyes under the black robe.
"Caffey? What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, the yellow sand under the man's feet flowed, and a huge human face with a width of tens of meters slowly emerged and stood out under his feet.
The position of the man is exactly on the chin of the face.
"Your Majesty, the seal of the Demon Abyss has been destroyed... I have no home to return to, so I can only come to you." The ancient demon Kafei lifted his black robe, revealing his bald scalp full of scars.
His eyes were filled with gray light, and he looked at the huge human face below with respect and fear.
"The seal of Moyuan has been destroyed?" The huge man's face froze for a moment, then frowned. "That seal has been maintained for five thousand years. We have made an agreement with the human race that no one will touch it. What happened? How was it destroyed? Do you know what is connected there?? It's not just a demon The seal of the abyss!"
Kafei showed a helpless and frustrated expression.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The one who broke the seal is a human who looks like a demon. I think it's a human who has practiced the secret art of magic and integrated the magic blade into the body."
