Every glorious civilized place always has a painful history. Only after experiencing several rises and falls can it finally face the world with unparalleled splendor and attract many sighs when the stars dim.
The Devil City outside Xirong Devil City has long been in ruins, with no one approaching.
This place was once emptied out by the plague. The crooked beams, changed terrain, and abandoned roads were so majestic that they could no longer be seen. Coupled with natural disasters, people who escaped the disaster left in droves, leaving countless people here. of dry bones.
Peng You went back to his bedchamber from the main hall. Seeing Yao Yan'er inside, he hurriedly closed the door. Yao Yan'er had broken through Zuo Yan's guard and knew what Zuo Tu said last night, so he related everything to the Prime Minister. Peng Youbei elaborated.
Peng You was furious when he heard this, saying that the Great Magician was just like the Great Immortal Master, who also designed to harm his relatives for the jade pendant. Yao Yaner hurriedly comforted him, saying that the two of them would die or escape, and they had been charged by the teacher. , nothing to worry about.
Peng You clenched his fist and said: "Yan'er, go to the Devil's City to retrieve the contents of the secret box and solve the problem of this jade pendant. I will sink the jade pendant into the sea and uncover the hidden people in all directions. From now on, there will be no such disputes in the world." "
Yao Yan'er nodded and said: "Brother Peng, I will accompany you to do whatever you want!"
Peng You said again: "Yan'er, you should have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go to the Devil's City to find the secret box."
The two of them stopped talking and went out to have lunch together. While eating, they talked about Dongyi Fairy City. Both of them were either worried or thinking about Princess Butterfly, Luo Chen and others.
At this time in Dongyi Fairy City, Princess Butterfly learned from the letter sent by the humming monkey that her mother had committed suicide. She burst into tears and hurriedly wanted to return to Xuanyuan Palace, but she felt dizzy and sick.
Luo Chen hurriedly asked the doctor from Dongyi Immortal Master to diagnose Princess Butterfly. He was told that Princess Butterfly was pregnant. Luo Chen jumped for joy and told Princess Butterfly the truth. Princess Butterfly was surprised and happy.
Because she was pregnant, it was inconvenient for her to go to Xuanyuan Palace to pay her respects, so she had no choice but to express her pain in the letter. She sent a loris to carry the letter back to Xuanyuan Palace, and then asked him to go to Xirong for a trip and bring the letter to his brother. Peng You.
The hummingbird galloped on horseback and traveled thousands of miles in a day. He first went to Xuanyuan Palace and paid homage to Gongsun Xuanyuan, telling him everything about Princess Butterfly. Gongsun Xuanyuan knew the inside story and hated the rain, but Xiao Butterfly was sad and worshiped on her behalf.
There was a woman next to Gongsun Xuanyuan, but the humming monkey didn't recognize it, so he bowed down and saluted her. Gongsun Xuanyuan told her that she was the teacher he respected, and she was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl in the upper world. The humming monkey hurriedly bowed again.
That woman was none other than Shao Linglong. Shao Linglong only returned the greeting lightly, and then looked into the eyes of the loris. After that, the loris bid farewell to Gongsun Xuanyuan and galloped away towards the Demonic City of Xirong.
In the Demon City of Xirong, Peng You, Yao Yan'er, and Zuo Yan had just had breakfast. Everything was ready, and the three of them were heading to the Demon City together.
The Devil's City is dozens of miles away from the Devil's City of Xirong. The three of them traveled far into the desert, each showing their magical powers. Within half an hour, they arrived at the edge of the Devil's City, a deserted city.
There are many strange and human-like rocks on the edge of the city, which make people imagine. On the undulating hillsides and beside large and small caves, white, blood-red, azure green, and orange-yellow stones are scattered, just like the witch's pearls.
This place is located at the mouth of the wind. When the strong wind blows, it will make a sound like a ghost, which is creepy and frightening. Whenever the wind blows, the sky becomes dark, the earth turns dark, sand and rocks fly, and ghosts cry and wolves howl, which is frightening.
If it is a dim moonlit night, the place is quiet and gloomy, with strange shadows blurred, the situation is even more terrifying. No one understands its past. In people's eyes, this is a terrible death zone.
At this time, the three people beside the Devil City were all cautious. Peng You controlled the Chinese Dagger, Yao Yaner held the Taiyi Immortal Sword, and Zuo Yan lightly held the Geying Divine Sword.
It is the time when the sun is rising in the east, the sand and snow are still, and the wind and waves are calm all around. Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter and the ice and snow are cold, the scenery inside and outside the city is just like the natural scenery, which has been unique for thousands of years.
The delicate fragrance of Yao Yan'er and the faint fragrance of Zuo Yan spread on both sides of Peng You. His dry and cold nose smelled the fragrance of their bodies, which made him feel refreshing, fresh and sweet.
When the three of them were about to enter the Devil's City, they suddenly felt light and shadow flickering in their eyes. They quickly turned around and saw thousands of troops and horses roaring towards them. The girl in red at the head had a heroic figure and was galloping with a whip, but her appearance could not be seen clearly.
Peng You and others were shocked. They each held weapons to defend themselves. The opponent was coming fiercely, running as fast as a flying swallow. Peng You and Yao Yan'er both waved their arms, causing the tidal shield to summon an invisible wall, and tried their best to resist.
However, the opponent's army and horses rushed straight towards the position of the three of them without any regard, without any sign of slowing down. When Peng You and the others saw that the other party was approaching the city wall, they did not stop and insisted on breaking through.
The three of them were about to take refuge in the air. In an instant, thousands of horses and troops disappeared into the vast mist, and the shocking light and shadow quickly moved out of the sight of the three.
Peng You and others had never seen this scene before, and they all found it thrilling. The surroundings were as level as a mirror, and there was no wind at all.
Although Zuo Yan was highly skilled in martial arts, her sword-holding hand was sweating. The big fireball she was about to fire out in her other hand was still hanging in the air. She hurriedly asked Peng You, "Brother, are you okay?"
Peng You loosened his clenched fists and said: "Sister Yan, I'm fine, just collect your spiritual power." He looked at Yao Yan'er and saw her expression turned calm, and said: "Yan'er, you know what's going on in this scene? Why?"
Yao Yan'er hummed and said, "The teacher once told me something, but I don't know if it has anything to do with it."
Peng You listened to Yao Yan'er and continued: "The teacher once said that under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, people's images and voices may be recorded and stored by the surrounding buildings, rocks, minerals or ancient trees.
Under some conditions, these recorded images or sounds may reappear. "
Peng You said: "It's so magical." Zuo Yan also looked around, but no longer saw any changes.
The three of them had no choice but to continue exploring into the city, walking step by step, as if walking on thin ice. The gate of the Devil's City had already collapsed, and it was easy to step into the open city gate without any defense.
Peng You, Yao Yan'er, and Zuo Yan had just passed through the city gate when they suddenly saw a bright light flashing by. Their eyes were dazzled by the light, and they each blinked to avoid it, holding their swords on guard, but no movement was seen.
The three of them looked straight ahead and saw a huge stone statue with two round glazed eyes inlaid on it. The sunlight just now was refracted on the glazed glass and reflected back to the three of them.
Those two big eyes were like mirrors. The figures of Peng You, Yao Yan'er, and Zuo Yan were now reflected in the eyes of the stone statue, and every move of these people was faithfully reproduced on it.
The three of them stopped in front of the stone statue. Peng You felt that the face of the stone statue slowly emerged, and it turned out to be the appearance of the great martial artist You Ying.
But he heard Yao Yan'er say: "Why does this person look like a great immortal master?" Zuo Yan frowned and said: "He clearly looks like a great magician."
Hearing this, Peng You was greatly confused as to why the same thing looked completely different in the eyes of three people.
