Snow surrounds the beach, and there is no light in the long night.
When Yun Zhong stepped off the boat, he heard no other sounds, only the desolate north wind that blew people away, and there was still blood in the north wind.
The children in Yunzhong City had been here before. It was a small stream of the big river. It was scattered here. After countless years of erosion, the original landform had been washed away, leaving only the flat land where the remaining small streams merged with the river. Just like a small island. Immortal Sishui then stepped onto the island, her expression became more and more sad, she looked around and almost shed tears. Regardless of the mud and water on the beach, she sat cross-legged on the ground and put her palms together. In a short while, there was a bright light in her palms, and the entire The small island is illuminated as if it were daytime, the fine snow can be clearly seen, and the surrounding scenery is also unobstructed.
The origin of the blood energy is that there are thousands of corpses, seemingly connected to the sky and the earth, and it is difficult to see the edges at a glance. The white bones are exposed, and the blood flows freely, dyeing the rivers and small islands in bright red.
After a long time, the Immortal Sishui told Yun Zhong that the location of this place has excellent Feng Shui. Most of the sentient beings in the Pisces Jade Realm have often come here to worship the gods of mountains and rivers since the time of ignorance. Perhaps it is the will of all sentient beings, or Or as the incense gradually grew stronger, several landscape gods evolved in the Pisces Jade Realm. Even now, when the incense has withered and the power of aspiration has faded, there are still six landscape gods left behind. It's a pity that the mountain god has been missing for a long time, and now he appears again by accident. The water god has escaped and disappeared, and the other four Pisces and Jade realm mountain and water gods have not manifested in the world for many years.
Although it is only the most inconspicuous place, it must be worthy of the title of the birthplace of the God of Mountains and Waters. It can also be called the source of all people in the Pisces Jade Realm. Even in this month, it can still be called the fundamental place. . However, ever since the four kings of the front line came to talk to the previous master of the Pisces Jade Realm, and used the latter's ability to occupy the Pisces Jade Realm for many years and repair the small world, something happened here. Almost all the people who passed by died here, but within a few months, there were thousands of corpses and the river was stained with blood.
"I originally thought that with the cultivation of the Four Lords, even if it was taken by force, the four of them could work together to repair this realm. But in the end, I never thought that a realm as high and profound as the Four Lords would actually be able to hold the handle for others. , abandoning all the people and allowing the previous generation of Pisces Jade Realm masters to do such things."
The woman's eyebrows were filled with sadness as she chanted the sutra softly. She had probably seen what was happening in front of her and was deeply saddened. Almost every word she uttered, the brilliance of her palms and face faded a little, until she finished reciting the sutra that contained ten thousand words. His hair was all white, but he still didn't get up. The sound of the scriptures was transmitted, and a lot of blood was gone, but the wind was still roaring here, like a ghost crying, no matter who looked at it, it was shocking.
"I am just an insignificant little god. I am completely incomparable to the abilities of the six mountain and water gods. I am just a little god looking at the sky from the mouth of a well. According to the world, I am nothing more than the three realms. I only know what is unusual. These magical powers of controlling water flow can divert water into wells during droughts and extend the lives of a whole family. How can they be compared to the four kings?" The woman laughed to herself, without her original rosy look on her face, "Actually, I really shouldn't have done it today. It disturbed the young man's mood. After thinking about this matter carefully, it is really not something that the Four Lords can do. Even I don't know why the Four Lords are so eager to repair this Pisces Jade Realm. Even though they were in the Jade Temple just now, I don’t know how many times I wanted to suppress these words, but I still couldn’t bear it. Maybe it’s because you and I are destined, so despite all the worries, I still said it.”
Yun Zhong, who was also standing at the head of the island, said nothing. He just pinched his two fingers together, put his hands in his sleeves, and slowly closed his eyes.
The Four Lords once mentioned that there should be a fierce and stubborn old monster in the world that even the Four Lords could not defeat together. He has not shown up in the world for so many years. He is probably afraid that the old monster will come to his door. Even if the Water Immortal doesn't know, However, Yun Zhong knew that from the first time he met the Four Lords because of the swordsman's remnant soul, Yun Zhong knew that the swordsman holding Qiu Lake probably died at the hands of that old monster, but the Four Lords seemed to want to avoid it as well. Mentioned, so even now I still have a partial understanding, but based on this partial understanding, no matter how unwilling to believe it, I can roughly guess that most of the water gods in the well are not lying. And now if it is true what Tong Si Shui Shen said, even if the four princes had no choice but to negotiate with the previous master of the Pisces Jade Realm and tacitly allow him to secretly murder tens of millions of people, even if they had to add the word "no choice" in front of it, Yunzhong still couldn't say anything for the four kings.
Benefiting oneself at the expense of others and saving oneself by harming others is a hurdle that cannot be circumvented in the world. However, this hurdle is still annoying even though it is done knowing that one has no choice but to do so.
"You really shouldn't tell me about this," Yun Zhong was silent for a long time before he opened his tired eyes again. He shook his head helplessly at the woman beside him, and then sat on the top of the island, surrounded by falling snow. His head is very similar to that of the Sishui Shen on the side who turned white. "I am weak and weak. I have said this to my colleagues many times. It is a pity that my cultivation has not been able to achieve the word "high" until now. . Moreover, people always have selfish motives. The Four Lords have given me great blessings and come here again and again to repair the meridians and Dantian. Not to mention, they have gained the benefit of entering the Four Mysteries. With the talent of this junior, it is not easy to practice. What’s more, entering the Four Mysteries is a good thing that millions of people can’t find, so no matter what, this favor must be repaid.”
"In my early years, I once heard a saying that you don't need to care about the person's moral character. You should always repay the favor if you accept the benefits from his heart. You should always regard the person as a good person in your own eyes. Besides, who People are never born with front and rear eyesight. How can we calculate people's hearts and future events clearly? We might as well take a step and look at it step by step. Senior knows that I stand on the side of the Four Kings, but he can still say these words. It is really rare, but this is the case. I can't imagine that the four gentlemen can do such a thing, it is inevitable that I will be disappointed. I know that the seniors have good intentions and can't help with little, but they will definitely have a hard time thinking about it later."
Therefore, Yun Zhong was the only one left in Zhoutou. The water vapor that had always shrouded his body dispersed like mist, but the mountains of corpses around him were still clear and distinct.
It was probably because the divine power of the Sishui God was always enveloping him, or it was probably because the brilliance in the jade temple was always following him. The blood aura Yun Zhong smelled just now was much lighter. Now that it has faded like a tide, the blood aura around him is so strong that Yun Zhong is very angry. It was a bit unaccustomed. I was about to cover my mouth and nose, but finally put down my hands.
When the sky was still dark, Yun Zhong walked back to his mansion in the wind and snow. He took off the long-burned lanterns in the streets and walked to Ye Zhai's door. He found a note hanging outside the door, saying that the two of them were out walking in the snow. After enjoying the scenery, it will probably take about another ten days before returning. The wine is already prepared. If there is no wine to drink, there is no need to dig out a wine jar in the courtyard to drink secretly. In the past few months, Ye Zhai and Shui Yue have been going out frequently, mostly to take advantage of the opportunity to see each other again after saying goodbye for so many years. They often complain about missing each other and enjoy the scenery. Yun Zhong is not surprised at all and goes back to his house to change his clothes. , went outside the blacksmith shop and knocked twice on the door. No one answered the door for a long time, and then he was about to leave.
"Didn't that man in the well in the backyard force you to stay?" When the door opened, the old man's eyes were slightly red, as if he hadn't slept all night, and his temper was lighter than before. He opened the door and welcomed Yun Zhong into the house, and then looked at him with evil intentions. Yun Zhong, the joke is quite strong.
"I thought that last night, I would be a generation older, but I didn't expect that I was still a young man. Did the Water God tell you anything about it?"
Yunzhong nodded and shook his head, his eyebrows slightly lowered.
The old man didn't ask in detail, but talked to himself. Yesterday, a master with white eyebrows and white beard came to the door. He vaguely heard some mountain gods announcing their homes outside. The two of them made a lot of noise. I'm afraid those people who live in seclusion in Yulou Mountain In the fairy family, there is nothing to do in the middle of winter, so they have to discuss and learn from each other. I heard that the man named Xiling Jun was going back with three friends and left here temporarily. I also heard that the mountain god seemed to have been taught a lesson by Haosheng and left alone in the end. The two of them disturbed each other until midnight. Deeper, unable to sleep soundly, and naturally wake up early.
The old man in the blacksmith shop, in Yun Zhong's view, is naturally not simple. The abandonment of Zigui and the Five Mountains Double Swords was due to the old man's suggestion. As expected, he was favored by the mountain god after the incident. Moreover, the old man who still has no chance of winning in the sword competition on the cliff has a fair face. There is no difference between him and the old man. Of course, his background is very important, but both of them know it well, but they have never pointed it out. These words are not very interesting to others, but to Yun Zhong, they are very meaningful.
It makes sense when the Four Lords will return. Only when I stepped into the well yesterday and heard about the incident of conniving the previous Lord of the Pisces Jade Realm to harm Feng Shui and kill thousands of people, it didn't make sense. But it was the time to leave at this time. If it wasn't a coincidence, it would have many meanings.
"Old man, when I was a child, my family was pretty well off. During festivals, I would often go out with my elders to make incense and light firecrackers and fireworks. At first, the adults always lit them, but I didn't dare to do it. But later on, my family got older and my legs and feet became weak. I have to light the incense myself.”
"How can someone else have the final say on how to take the road?"
Yun Zhong's brows had not relaxed since he raised his eyebrows just now. Hearing these words, his face brightened slightly, but he still frowned.
Before leaving, the old man was still bleary-eyed and clearly depressed, but he still didn't forget to tell Yun Zhong that there was no need to come to the blacksmith shop today. It didn't matter if it was closed for a day. It was just for rest, but it was best to give a box when he was free. When shortbread cakes come to the door, Yunzhong always pinches his nose to admit his ability to pick shortbread cakes. Even if he goes to buy some himself, he may not be satisfied. He also said that there is no need to step into the well in the backyard of the blacksmith shop these days. Almost no one knows about the well, and there is no need to ask around. All you need to do is to educate yourself, because you can never find out the truth. Vain.
It seems like there are palms blocking you from all directions, and no matter which way you look for, you may not be able to find a way out in the end.
So when Yun Zhong left, although his figure was still upright, he was a little lost and dived into the wind and snow.
