The ancient road was filled with dust, and an inconspicuous carriage was driving north. On the top of the carriage, Ye Ling sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, the golden aura surrounding him, which was purer than the edge of the sword.
This golden spirit vein was obtained by Ye Ling who risked his life in the Holy Spirit Cult. It was only at this moment that he started refining it. Only when the monks use their spiritual veins to evolve their Taoist bones can they break through the celestial phenomena and reach the realm of enlightenment. Just because the heavenly calamity of the heavenly image being promoted to Mingwei is too terrifying, if there is no strong Taoist bone, the physical body will not be able to withstand the tempering of the Taoist power, and it will never become a great weapon.
Jin Xing's spiritual energy was continuously being absorbed into his body, and Ye Ling felt pain as if his bones were being torn apart. This is a necessary process, removing mortal bones to form Dao bones, just like removing bones, knocking out marrow and then remodeling. If you cannot bear this kind of pain, it will be difficult to discern the great path.
About half a day later, Ye Ling just slowly opened his eyes, the spiritual energy around him dissipated, and he finally succeeded in replacing the first Dao Bone. Looking inside with his spiritual consciousness, he saw that the bone was as white as jade, exuding a faint light, and seemed to contain Tao power.
The carriage stopped outside a city. The old man who drove the carriage took the horse out and gave it water and grass to rest for a while.
Their destination this time is Qing'an City, and they will take Baili Changkong back to Taiyue City. Because Xu Zheng was worried about danger on Baili Changkong Road, he invited the eldest princess Baili Haoyue and Ye Ling to escort him.
Lin Yuewei was also worried about Baili Changkong, so he followed him. Qin Xiao insisted on following because it was fun.
Behind the carriage, Qin Xiao stretched out his arms and put them behind his head, holding a blade of grass in his mouth. He looked at the clouds in the sky boredly and said to himself: "It's boring to be on the road. Since there are teleportation formations in the city, How not to use it?"
Ye Ling, who was on the roof of the car, replied: "When we enter the city later, we will go use the teleportation array."
In Taiyue City, it was just to cover up others' eyes and ears, so he drove away in a carriage and did not use the transfer formation.
After resting for a while, the old driver hitched his horse again, whipped his whip and entered the city.
There is a teleportation formation in the center of the city, but it cannot reach Qing'an City directly. It has to be transferred twice before reaching Qing'an City in the north.
Qing'an City was originally the old capital of the Han Dynasty. However, due to the decline of the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago, the Daqian, Dayan and other dynasties divided up the land of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Zhaolie established his business in Xizhou. The Han Dynasty still exists. The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Ce, launched the Northern Expedition to recapture the old capital Qing'an City.
Qing'an City existed as early as the Qin Dynasty, and later became the capital of the Han Dynasty for tens of thousands of years.
Ye Ling stood on the carriage and saw that the city was wide and the streets were wide, with palaces and pavilions hidden among them. The high sun is shining, and the green tiles and red walls shine brightly. The abrupt cornices are hidden behind the waving flags of the shops. The market is full of cars and horses, and there is an endless flow of people. Looking into the distance, you can see the primitive pavilions and towers, the vicissitudes of the city walls, and the abandoned Taoist patterns that can be seen everywhere. In those days, it was a peerless formation that defended the capital of the Han Dynasty. Walking along, you will feel that the thousands of years have passed before your eyes, and the prosperity of that day continues to this day.
Exactly: "
The tent door is filled with dancing and singing, and the ancient road lingers for eternity.
If you want to know about the rise and fall of the city, please take a look at Qing'an City. "
In the carriage, Lin Yuewei dressed in snow clothes and jumped out of the carriage. The breeze blew and his clothes were swaying, and he did not look like a person in the world.
She found a direction, stretched out her hand to draw in the void, and a word "quick" appeared, and then it turned into awe-inspiring energy and poured into her feet. Then, every step Lin Yuewei took had the effect of shrinking into an inch, and he disappeared into the streets in the blink of an eye.
Ye Ling and Qin Xiao also jumped down one after another. Qin Xiao asked, "Where did Miss Lin go?"
Ye Ling didn't know it, but the little maid in the carriage said: "Miss Lin is going to see His Highness the Crown Prince. My girl is going to pay a visit to King Xiaoyao. You two can do what you want. Then come to the palace to find us."
After saying that, the old man driving the carriage flicked his whip, and the carriage drove slowly into the distance.
They dispersed, Qin Xiao rubbed his stomach and said to Ye Ling: "Find a place to eat something. You gods are all made of iron, but I have to fill my stomach first."
Ye Ling smiled and nodded, and the two of them walked forward side by side, found a street stall, and each ordered a bowl of noodles.
Ye Ling took the chopsticks and said, "When I first came down from the sect, I ate the clear soup noodles on the street. Now think about it, four or five years have passed."
Qin Xiao didn't listen. He wolfed down the bowl and turned around to ask for another bowl.
While eating the noodles, Ye Ling suddenly looked stern and looked up at the people walking on the street. He stared for a long time, but didn't see anything unusual: "Am I worrying too much?"
…………
An unknown alley in Qing'an City was so quiet that it was almost deathly silent. The alley is narrow, with only a strip of clear blue sky overhead, covered with residual clouds, sweeping away the hustle and bustle of Qing'an City all day long. The walls on both sides are covered with moss, and there are many ivy covering them. The sun shines slantingly, and the shadows cast by the walls cast a blanket of coolness.
A breeze blew by, and a figure in white passed by, leaving half a wisp of fragrance in the air.
The door of the house at the end of the alley was closed tightly, and the sound of coughing could be heard from inside.
Even so, the familiar sound that echoed in her dreams all year round still made the girl in white tremble all over, unable to conceal her excitement.
The jade hand pushed gently, and the gate opened to the left and right, but the small courtyard was full of weeds, which was the desolation full of vitality.
The window was half open, and the hunched young man was working hard at his desk. His already thin and thin body was shaking with violent coughing, and it seemed that he would fall apart at any time.
When he noticed someone walking in, he turned his head slightly and looked at the figure in white, but his face seemed to be full of embarrassment, and he didn't want the person in front of him to see him like this.
Lin Yue smiled with tears in his eyes. The many exercises he had done for this reunion were of no use after all. A smile when we meet is always worth a thousand words. As long as I see you again, that's it.
Baili Changkong looked pale at this time, and his body had lost weight, and he looked like he was dying of illness that day.
Lin Yuewei hurriedly ran in the door, put herself into the arms of her sweetheart, and whispered: "You didn't come to me, so I came to see you."
Tears fell silently, Baili Changkong used her strength to hold Lin Yuewei tightly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
If time can be frozen at this moment, it will bring joy to both hearts and a good story.
…………
Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion is located in the north of Qing'an City, at the site of the original Han Palace. The vast area is comparable to that of Taiyue Imperial City.
Ye Ling and Qin Xiao entered from the main entrance. Along the way, there were many palaces, connected by verandas, and the atmosphere was vast and magnificent.
Qin Xiao looked around with insufficient eyes and said: "Good guy, it turns out that everything sung in the opera is true. The royal family is really so grand!"
Ye Ling smiled and said: "If you have the opportunity to enter Taiyue Imperial City one day, you will know that there are even more heavens outside the world."
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "This thing is just for others to see. No matter how powerful the emperor is, he can only sleep on one bed. If he builds so many houses, he will never be able to live in them all in his lifetime."
The two of them walked forward and climbed hundreds of steps before arriving at the entrance of the main hall and walked in after being informed.
I saw the carved beams and painted pillars in this hall, the lights were bright, and on the throne facing me was a middle-aged man wearing a purple gold crown and a dragon fur coat. Needless to say, he was King Xiaoyao, who was guarding Qing'an City for hundreds of miles and thousands of miles.
At the bottom sits the eldest princess of Daqian, with a coquettish head and an eyebrow, wearing a gorgeous dress and beaded jewelry, and a bright moon shines brightly in the sky.
Ye Ling brought Qin Xiao forward and bowed, Baili Qianshan said with a smile: "Your sworn brother and I are old acquaintances, no need to be polite, just sit down!"
After everyone sat down, Qin Xiao looked around, but did not see Lin Yuewei and Prince Baili Changkong, so he blurted out: "Why don't you see Miss Lin and His Highness the Prince?"
As soon as these words came out, Baili Qianshan frowned and stared intently. Baili Haoyue looked solemn, lowered her head and said nothing.
Ye Ling knew something was wrong and asked, "Is it Prince Changkong? Is there any inconvenience?"
Baili Qianshan sighed and explained to Ye Ling. But it turned out that Baili Changkong had been poisoned at some point, and the poison slowly took hold after he was deposed and left Taiyue City. But at this time, the poison had already entered the Tao body. Even the medical masters invited from Yaowang Valley from hundreds of miles away were unable to remove the poison. They could only use elixirs to slow down the speed of the poison.
After hearing Baili Qianshan's words, Ye Ling asked: "What kind of poison is this? Who put it? Does the prince have any clues about it?"
Baili Qianshan said: "According to the seniors at Yaowang Valley, this poison is called Mistaken Love in the Red Dust, and it is one of the top five strange poisons in the world. The poison needs to be taken in sequence over seven or forty-nine days. At the beginning, it is taken together. You won't be aware of it until your body is weakened and your cultivation level declines, and it is difficult to prepare an antidote in the Medicine King Valley. As for the person who poisoned..."
Baili Qianshan paused and said in a deep voice: "This poison is only found in the underworld, so there is no way to know who poisoned it."
When Ye Ling heard this, he was shocked. He still remembered the killer of Hades, Mo Xun. When he was in Taiyue City, he was also chased by Mo Xun. Fortunately, he was saved by the two elders Fengling and Lei beside Hua Xinfeng, and he survived.
Knowing that this matter was the work of Hades, Ye Ling fell into deep thought. Could it be that Hades was involved in the battle behind the Daqian court?
…………
On the bed, Baili Changkong was half-lying, leaning on Lin Yuewei, and said in a weak tone: "Since I came to Qing'an City, my heart has become much quieter. These days, I have written all the manuscripts of my late master. I compiled it and wrote a biography. Please help me take it away and leave it to future generations. Although my late master did not work much in the literary world, the few strokes he left behind should not be forgotten."
Lin Yue nodded slightly and said softly: "You are like this now, so stop worrying about other people's affairs. Tell me who poisoned you. You must know who this person is, right? ?”
Baili Changkong turned his head slightly and looked out the window: "So what if you know who it is? Everyone will die, right? What's more, he is just a poor man. If my death can make him feel relieved, it may not be the case. A bad thing."
"You always think about others, why don't you think about yourself?"
"Me," Baili Changkong was silent for a moment, slowly closed his eyes and said, "I'm just sorry for you. I promised you something, but now I can't fulfill it. I made you wait for so long, and then I turned around and showed you To what I am like."
Lin Yuewei gently put his face against Baili Changkong's forehead: "Fool, as long as you are here, I will be satisfied. You promised me, haven't you done it now?"
Baili Changkong sighed softly, silent...
