When the old fisherman saw the ferryman walking away, he said to Xu Huaigu: "You are saved. Come with me and I will take you out."
Xu Huaigu hurriedly ran to the old man fishing. The old man smiled. Then in the blink of an eye, Xu Huaigu felt that the world was spinning around him, and then the scenery changed. The Forgotten River disappeared, and he and the old fisherman were now standing on a high mountain, with the void sky of Forgotten River shrouding their heads.
Xu Huaigu quickly handed over his hands and thanked the old man excitedly: "Thank you, senior, for saving your life!"
The old man waved his hand and said: "A little effort is nothing. But don't resent the ferryman. In fact, the ferryman has good intentions. Those rules that you can't go out after seeing the Forgotten River were made by the gods in the sky. Even I am afraid of it, so he has to abide by it.”
Xu Huaigu was very unhappy and said, "But in his eyes, human life is too trivial, right?"
The old man smiled and said: "What he did is indeed not right in this regard, but it is understandable that he is indifferent to human life because he deals with the souls of the dead all day long, right? But I have always had a different point of view from him, and I still feel alive That’s the best.”
Xu Huaigu felt that this great monk loved to laugh and was really amiable, so he had a good impression and said: "I didn't expect that the seniors would think so. It's really an honor for the juniors."
The old man said: "This is how things in the world are, and everything is the same. I have been away from this world for more than 1,200 years, and I am still lucky to meet such a person who thinks the same as me."
As the mountain wind blew by, the old man turned to look at Xu Huaigu and said, "Little guy, are you interested in listening to my story?"
Xu Huaigu replied: "I would like to hear the details."
The old man looked into the distance and said, "I don't want to talk about those bad things after my ascension. I'll just tell you about what happened when I was in the human world."
The old man thought for a while, and finally shook his head and laughed at himself: "My name is Shangguanchuan. My name should still be found in ancient books. It should say that I ascended to the fairy world, but who would have thought that I was in the River of Forgetfulness? Being suppressed for so many years? You only need to know that I reached the Twelve Realms after going through a lot of hardships. During this period, how many people died and how many plans were made, you can't understand it now.
Originally, I thought that after ascension, there would be a brand new world, and those days of scheming would be far away from me, but I found that the world was even more vulgar than the human world. Later, because of some things, I was suppressed and sent to Wangchuan. , you also saw that door of life and death, what is suppressed inside is my body, but my soul can still move in the River of Forgetfulness. It's tasteless to say, for more than 1,200 years..."
Shangguanchuan looked very lonely: "More than 1,200 years ago, the world has been turned upside down, but I am still alone in Wangchuan. Little guy, tell me, do you know what is interesting in the world now? Something about that?”
Xu Huaigu asked: "What kind of interesting things do seniors refer to?"
"Tell me about the current situation in the world. Is it turmoil or peace and prosperity?"
Xu Huaigu replied: "So far, it is still a peaceful and prosperous time, but the Central Territory is being coveted by a group of demon clans from outside the territory. A few years ago, the strongest demon dragon, the Ink Dragon, escaped from suppression and is still recuperating in the demon clan territory. It is estimated that he will make a comeback soon. , the situation is not optimistic."
Shangguanchuan thought for a while: "It turns out that there is an invasion from the demon clan from outside the territory... It seems that this demon clan is quite capable. How many continents have they invaded?"
"I don't know how many continents there are, but half of East Fuyao Continent is already occupied by them."
Shangguanchuan looked puzzled: "East Fuyao Continent? I remember that in my time there was only Fuyao Continent. Why is it still divided into two continents?"
Xu Huaigu shook his head to express his ignorance.
Shangguanchuan didn't speak either.
Xu Huaigu suddenly asked: "Senior, do you want to leave here?"
Shangguanchuan sighed: "Think about it, why don't you think about it? I think about it day and night. It's not easy to leave. You can only leave after collecting five tokens. Even though you already have two tokens in your hand, the remaining three are scattered around. Where can I find it in all the places in the world? It is really difficult.”
Xu Huaigu raised his sword and said seriously: "Senior, you have saved my life. I promise you that after I leave Wangchuan, I will try my best to help you find it."
Shangguanchuan also looked directly at Xu Huaigu, nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
He then suddenly smiled gently and sighed: "The little guy now is really full of confidence and vitality. If there were more people like you, the world would be more interesting."
Xu Huaigu was a little embarrassed by the praise.
Shangguanchuan faced the mountain breeze and said happily: "Since you are so sincere, I will give you a ride and take you to meet the two people who came with you."
Xu Huaigu said happily: "Really? Thank you so much, senior!"
The scene around Xu Huaigu began to blur again. Xu Huaigu knew that this was Shangguanchuan's magical power, so he did not resist, but looked forward to meeting Bai Xiaoyu again.
…
On an extremely high peak deep in the Mountain of Good and Evil, a woman in white stood on the peak, looking sadly at the plain of flowers in the distance. The fingertips of her hands were intertwined, revealing her inner anxiety.
The sea of flowers has five colors, and it looks very majestic and beautiful here, but her light green eyes are lifeless and extremely lost.
The strong wind at the peak caused her white dress to flap and her waist-length hair was messy in the wind, but she had no time to care about it and just kept staring into the distance.
The woman in white is naturally Bai Xiaoyu, and she is now very worried about Xu Huaigu's safety.
Speaking of which, it was her fault that time they were attacked by the sea of flowers from the other side. She unintentionally cut down a piece of flower, which led to the attack of the flowers from the other side, and also caused Xu Huaigu to fall from her futon.
In total, it had been more than two days since Xu Huaigu left her. Bai Xiaoyu walked all the way to the depths of the Mountain of Good and Evil and experienced no less than seven or eight life-and-death fights. It was very dangerous. Bai Xiaoyu couldn't believe how Xu Huaigu could face it alone.
She already had some thoughts in her heart that Xu Huaigu was dead, but she denied it with various reasons because she really didn't dare to imagine it.
Huang Shan's shout came to his ears: "Fellow Daoist Bai, come and help me carry the lantern. I will check my master's notes again, and maybe I can find the way out of Wangchuan."
Bai Xiaoyu felt depressed and replied: "Read it by yourself, don't disturb me!"
Huang Shan shrugged angrily, put the handle of the lantern in his mouth, and then carefully took out a yellow leather book with tattered corners from a small cloth bag, holding it in his left hand and flipping through it with his right hand.
Huang Shan naturally spent the past two days with Bai Xiaoyu, but the relationship between the two was indeed not very good. Huang Shan only thought that Xu Huaigu was bound to die, and his black token would definitely not come back. This time entering Wangchuan was really a loss.
When they first started walking together, Huang Shan had a big fight with Bai Xiaoyu because Bai Xiaoyu lost his token, but when she saw the methods of this woman named Bai, she completely gave up the idea of taking action.
Bai Xiaoyu is now in the fifth level. Not only is she one level higher than him, but she is also extremely rich. Huang Shan watched with envy as Bai Xiaoyu threw away a lot of talismans like waste paper, and took out one magic weapon after another to deal with the enemy, and even two immortal weapons!
Those are immortal weapons... Generally, a monk in the seventh or eighth realms can have one immortal weapon, which is a great help, but she, a fifth-level monk, actually has two!
Huang Shan was convinced in his heart that her master must be a highly cultivated person, so he immediately changed his attitude. He was not attentive to Bai Xiaoyu, but he did not dare to make trouble with her to make up for it. If you lose it, just throw it away. Anyway, that sign involves a lot. It might be a disaster if you hold it in your hand, not as important as your own life.
As for what he said about the token being the foundation of his great path, he was just looking for a random reason to fool Bai Xiaoyu. It would be amazing if he had the ability to refine that token to become the foundation of his great path.
Huang Shan looked carefully at the small parchment inside the old notebook. It was a map with several holes in it. Several mountains and rivers were roughly marked on it, and the exit shown on it was in the Mountain of Good and Evil. , but it’s been a long time since the two of them came to this mountain, and they still couldn’t find the exit mentioned in the picture. After going around in circles for many times, they still returned to the starting point.
In fact, the antidote to rescue Yu Qin is not a very rare thing. The two found it soon after traveling together, but the progress of the journey was delayed again and again. One reason was that Xu Huaigu disappeared in Wangchuan, and the other reason was that they could not find it. to the exit.
Huang Shan looked at the map in confusion and murmured: "It doesn't make sense. This is the place clearly marked. Why can't I find the exit? Is it underground?"
This stumped Huang Shan. He didn't know how deep the exit was from the ground, but he still felt how hard the rock on the mountain was. It would take a lot of effort to drill through a small piece of rock, let alone go underground?
Huang Shan thought about it, but couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he was going to take a nap, but he was worried that he would be attacked by monsters here while sleeping, so he shouted to Bai Xiaoyu at the top of his voice: "Fellow Daoist Bai, it's windy on the top of the mountain, come back quickly." Come on, don’t be frozen.”
Bai Xiaoyu looked back with disgust and ignored him.
When Huang Shan saw that Bai Xiaoyu refused to come back, he lay down on the ground and said to himself: "Oh, everyone has something to worry about. I am the only one who doesn't have it. Now even the token that Master said is the most shameful thing It’s gone, and there’s one less concern in the world. It’s so happy. I’ll be much more comfortable when I wait for the day I die.”
He stretched and said, "It's getting late, and monks are not made of iron. It's better to take a nap."
In his sleep, Huang Shan seemed to hear footsteps coming towards him, and he woke up immediately.
Bai Xiaoyu has always been barefoot and cannot make any footsteps. So who is this person?
He jumped up from the ground, and immediately held out his green folding umbrella magic weapon, facing the direction of the footsteps.
He anxiously shouted in Bai Xiaoyu's direction: "Fellow Daoist Bai, come here quickly, something seems to be touching here!"
A stream of white silk flew directly over from a distance, followed by Bai Xiaoyu, looking warily at the direction of the footsteps.
The outline of a person gradually emerged in the dark night.
Bai Xiaoyu offered another small silver-white sword. The small sword immediately surrounded her spiritually. It was another fairy weapon besides Bai Ling.
The two of them didn't dare to be careless at all. This Wangchuan was really weird. Even with their methods, they might not be able to get out alive. How could they dare to be careless?
The silhouette in the darkness became clearer and clearer. It was a tall and thin man with a short sword tied around his waist and a long sword in his hand.
Bai Xiaoyu seemed to have thought of something, and his face was dull.
Huang Shan also thought of something and said excitedly: "This...how is this possible?"
The man finally walked up to the two of them, with a smile like a flower, as if all the pain had disappeared like clouds of smoke.
"I came back alive," he said.
