As dusk falls, smoke and the smell of rice float in the five-color city.
Outside the Five-Colored City, under the crack in the fragmented secret realm, an old man, an old woman, an uncle, an aunt, etc. were sitting on a small stool, looking at the sky through the autumn water.
"It's almost dark..."
Huo Le rubbed his neck and sighed, "Why aren't you back yet..."
"Wait, why are you in a hurry?"
Tulou Shuiran Yinzisheng sat in a circle on one side. The three of them each held a row of rectangular cards made of bamboo in their hands, playing strange cards.
Listening to the mutterings of the senior brother next to him, Tulou took out a card and played it with a nonchalant expression.
"After all, we are exploring a secret realm. How can we come out so quickly? Well, the Water Spirit Card!"
"Ah, but..."
Elder Huo Le said with a troubled expression: "The two of them said that one day is enough to get back."
"It's not even a day yet!"
Silver Saint looked at the cards in his hand and clicked his tongue in displeasure: "Retreat, don't come out!"
"Ah, but if it's the two of them..."
Huo Le said with a complex expression: "Although sometimes they are a bit unreliable, many times they can do what they say."
"calm."
Shui Ran comforted Huo Le calmly, and played all but one of the cards in his hand.
"Five Elements Three Cycles, the last one is left, it's your turn."
"..."
"..."
Yinzisheng and Tulou were silent for a moment, silently clasped the bamboo cards in their hands, and turned to look at the crack in the sky.
"That..."
Tulou said hollowly in his eyes: "It's been a long time since I've been back. Do you need to go look for me or something?"
"Anxiety leads to chaos."
Shui Ranxun glanced at Tulou and urged: "Hurry up."
"Ahem, that..."
Yin Zi Sheng coughed twice and agreed: "I think what Tu Lou and Huo Le said is somewhat reasonable. It's almost dark and you still haven't come back. It's really worrying..."
"If you're worried, just go in and take a look."
Shui Ran said quietly: "If you don't want to go, hurry up and play your cards with Tulou."
"Cough cough cough cough!"*2
Yinzisheng and Tulou coughed crazily, as if they were possessed.
"That, if that's the case, well, that's it..."
Shuiran: "..."
"You two have also imitated Master..."
Shui Ranxun glanced at the two of them, sighed, looked up at the crack in space, and stared at it with Huo Le and others.
"anyway……"
Tulou said quietly: "They set off in the morning. If we really count it as a whole day, it should be exactly 24 hours tomorrow morning."
"tomorrow morning……"
Yinzi Sheng fell into silence. The cool breeze in August was blowing the fragrance of rice in the city. It was obviously just ordinary food, but it made him, a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage, feel a little twitchy in his stomach.
The ingredients used may not be very high-end, and the nutrients they contain may not be much.
If you open up all your taste buds and taste them carefully, you may be able to taste a lot of imperfections.
But it was this smell that touched Yinzi Sheng's heart slightly.
It felt like I had gone back to an unknown number of years ago, so far away that it didn’t seem like a memory in this life.
At that time, he hadn't met his master yet, he was just a little kid...
Yinzi Sheng paused, feeling a little thirsty for no reason.
Among the ordinary fireworks, there is a precious material that even a great monk likes to miss, which is superior to material things.
But it’s not impossible to get…
Yinzi Sheng was slightly startled when he thought of his pregnant wife and the child who was about to be born. He also wanted to have a home of his own.
"Then, wait a little longer?"
Shui Ran frowned and said, "Wait until tomorrow morning to see the situation?"
"I'm always a little worried about this. Even if I can't finish exploring at once, I should come out and say it temporarily when the day comes..."
Elder Huole hesitated and said in a low voice: "Wait three more, wait two more hours.
If they don't come out after another two hours, I'll call a few fellow Taoists from the Wuliang Sword Sect to check out the situation... huh? "
Before he finished speaking, Elder Huo Le raised his eyebrows and felt something in his heart.
Seemingly feeling something, all the elders waiting at the scene raised their heads at the same time and looked at the crack in space.
They saw the void-like darkness in the crack, and the sudden ripples in the space. Their eyes lit up, their expressions tightened, and their hearts lifted slightly.
Before they could say anything, a terrifying muffled sound suddenly came from the crack.
"boom!"
"!!!"
All the elders were shocked. Elder Huo Le turned pale on the spot and was about to fly to the entrance, but suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"In this case, the rest of it will be useless, right?"
"Well, is there anything left? It's all turned into dregs. It's really completely burned now."
"Harm, that's right. After all, he was also a pioneer. Let's just wave goodbye like this."
"Then this space connection channel should be useless, right?"
"Definitely, after this part falls off, it will be closed by the Traveling World itself soon..."
"Yes, then this passage will be cut off?"
"Hmm, let's do it."
"...Do it, don't just watch. Come over and help me."
"You have to have it, okay, let's do it."
"..."
"This is……"
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and Huo Le looked happy.
"Xiaoyang Xiaoli, are they two back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "boom" sound, as if something was cut off, and then two figures walked out of the crack in space side by side, and the passage behind them closed completely.
"Hmm..."
Hong Li turned to look at the sunset on the horizon, took a deep breath, and showed a comfortable expression.
"Sure enough, the smell at home is better. What's over there? The smell of sulfur is so stinking to death..."
"Isn't it already evening? I didn't expect that I wasted the whole day in there. Speaking of elders, have you been waiting since early morning?"
Hei Yang turned to look at the elders around him, waved his hand, and fell to the ground with Hong Li. The gray mist surged and filled the air, then dispersed again, and dozens more people appeared in the open space.
The disciples from each sect came back to their senses, then turned to look around and couldn't help but cheer.
"Oh ho, I'm back, traveling around the world!"
"Ah, today is so exciting, it feels like a lifetime ago!"
"I really don't know how good my home is if I don't go out. When I think about what the world has become like, and when I see that my home is still so quiet and peaceful, I feel moved and want to cry."
"Don't cry first, let me cry first."
"Hahahahaha..."
The disciples exchanged laughter and laughter, which made the elders who were mentally prepared to lose soldiers and generals with sad expressions unable to react for a while.
"One, two, three...seventeen, eighteen, nineteen..."
Tulou counted the people in his sect with his fingers, and then showed a satisfied smile.
"Not bad, everything is back fine!"
The elders of Yaowang Sect and Wuliangjian Sect on the side also recovered from their shock. Seeing many of the disciples jumping around, they couldn't help but smile.
And when I looked carefully, I found that the disciples' cultivation level, and even their temperament, had a sense of improvement. I was shocked in my heart, and the expression on my face became more joyful.
Some elders were still stroking their beards and nodding happily, while some elders had already reached out and hugged Hei Xiaolong.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu everyone is okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm back, I'll be fine if I'm back!"
"Ah, Elder Huole, don't, don't be so enthusiastic, help!"
Hei Xiaolong looked at Elder Huole who was hugging him, struggling wildly, and looking at the master in the distance with a pleading look on his face.
"Elder Huo Le, I am from the Water Department. You want to hug your Fire Department disciples!"
"Look what you kid is saying? Aren't the fire and water tribes all the Five Elements Sect, and aren't they all our disciples!"
Huo Le was moved and muttered at the same time.
"Besides, many of the people coming to our Fire Department this time are female dolls, so how can we do anything about them?
Besides, you are the closest to me and the most convenient. Elder, I am concerned about what happened to you. Your kid is also an elder and I have watched him grow up, okay? "
"ah……"
Hei Xiaolong opened his mouth, but stopped talking and sighed deeply.
"Ha, did you see little Gaga? Did you see that mommy has become stronger again!"
Xingyun and Little Gaga, who stayed in the gray mist, hadn't seen much each other all day, and now they were holding back what they wanted to say, chattering and laughing.
"Back, back! Butian, we are back!"
Zhao Zhuji's face flushed with excitement. Even though she thought she had always been calm, she realized how much she loved this world after leaving the Traveling World.
Especially after seeing the scenes after the destruction of other worlds, Zhao Zhuji never wanted to see such horrific scenes in his own home.
When the giant fire dragon appeared, Zhao Zhuji even wanted to cry a little. It was natural to be afraid of death, but she was even more afraid of dying outside her home, and even her body would never return to the traveling world.
But now that she and her friends had returned successfully, a feeling of being reborn arose in her heart. She was so excited that she couldn't help hugging Hong Butian and happily expressed her heart.
"Ah, yes, yes, I'm back, I'm back..."
Hong Butian looked at Zhao Zhuji who threw himself into his arms, his face turned slightly red, and the sudden benefit made him feel a little excited.
Even though he and Zhao Zhuji had been talking for so long, there were very few "big moves" like hugging each other.
Maybe if he takes the initiative, the other party may not refuse.
But Hong Butian is different from his two younger brothers and sisters. They are usually timid in everything they do, but they are inexplicably courageous when it comes to dating.
And Hong Butian's words...
He dared to run away from home with one person and one ring, and ran into the deep mountains and forests to risk his life to find his target.
This kind of thing, given the same level of strength, they might not be willing to do it even if Hei Yang Hongli had 100,000 courage.
But he is so courageous. In this regard, well, his performance depends entirely on the state of his head at that time, unlike those two guys.
Hong Butian murmured in his heart while feeling this hard-won hug.
Well, everything is difficult at the beginning. The first time is equal to countless times in the future!
Thinking of this, Hong Butian showed a bright smile on his face, and while gently patting Zhao Zhuji's back, he comforted him in a good voice.
When the Huole elders understood what had happened from the disciples' gushing stories, they were all surprised, happy, and full of emotion.
"To put it this way, are you carrying Xiaoyang Xiaoli, the final power of law in that world?"
Elder Huole turned to look at Heiyang Hongli and asked curiously: "What are you going to do? Upload them to the law network of the Traveling World, or use them to digest and improve yourself?"
"Ah this?"
Hei Yang Hongli was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can this kind of thing be used for digestion and improvement by oneself?
How should I put it, don’t we need these laws to travel around the world? Wouldn’t it be a little bad if we swallowed them? "
"Harm, how is this possible?"
Elder Huole waved his hand and explained: "As residents of the Traveling World, you understand and understand these laws, and the process of spiritual energy replacement and principle induction with the world is to help the Traveling World digest it.
If you hand it over directly to the Traveling World, you will probably get some rewards, and then those laws will be decomposed and digested by the Traveling World itself. From now on, our world will be able to easily perceive those laws.
And if you choose to stay by yourself, you are helping Yuyoujie improve its decomposition and digestion efficiency, and at the same time improve yourself. In this regard, there should be no rewards.
After all, you have already received your rewards in the process of improving yourself, right? "
Elder Huole smiled and explained: "In the final analysis, these laws are all obtained by you, and you can definitely control them yourself. After all, the results are no different for the travel world.
It's just that for you, each has its own pros and cons. "
"Is this so..."
Hei Yang nodded and looked at Hong Li, who frowned and asked: "But this fragment of the world itself was sent in by the seniors outside the Traveling World, and it is not considered a trophy for the two of us. ."
"Hey, how can you think like this?"
Huo Le sighed, waved his hand and said, "You don't even think about it. If it weren't for you, how would we know about the fragments?
And if we don’t know and don’t prepare in advance. The fragments will be squeezed in according to their original plan.
Even after their treatment, the fusion process will be much gentler.
But for the mortal city of Five Color City below, as long as this fragment stays above the city for a long time, the residents will have to temporarily leave their homes and be resettled in a safe place. "
"Is this so..."
Hong Li nodded slightly and turned to look at Hei Yang. The two exchanged glances, and then they knew what the other was going to do.
"Well, let's go home and think about it."
Hei Yang then said: "After you take a break and understand these laws to a large extent, you can start sorting them out..."
"Hmm, let's not talk about that much until then. Since the world can absorb these laws no matter what, then we can worry less and delay it a little bit."
Hong Li snorted, turned to look in the direction of home, and said quietly: "I don't know if Xiaohuo is at home now, or if there is any leftover dinner for us...
If that doesn't work, you can only rely on the Five Elements Sect canteen to fill your stomach! "
"Tsk tsk..."
