Early the next morning, before the sun came out, Xu Huaigu got up early and left the village for Lingjiang River.
It was true that he left home too early, and even the folks in Qingling hadn't started working in the fields yet. There was no one on the road, only a few early birds flew over his head, and the dew on the weeds on the roadside wetted his shoes.
Lingjiang River is not far from the village. It only took half a cup of tea for Xu Huaigu to see the silvery river.
The starting point of all stories is in this river. Black dragon, monster clan, monks, bloodline, seal... It can be said that the source of everything Xu Huaigu has experienced in these years is in this river. Without this river, he would not be able to get out of Qingling, let alone What happened after that.
But today I came to this riverside not for that, but Xu Huaigu just wanted to enjoy the wind.
He slowly approached and reached the river beach. The river beach was still covered with colorful stones, large and small, just like it was when he was a child. However, Xu Huaigu took a quick look at them, but he didn't see any that he particularly liked.
Perhaps our vision is different now, and we can no longer find those rare stones. Xu Huaigu found a stone slab by the river, sat down on it, and looked across the river.
When the seal was not lifted, no matter how good the weather was, the other side of the river could not be seen, only the vast white mist.
But it's different now. The river seems to have become an ordinary mountain river. The two banks are only half a mile wide, and the water is not deep and crystal clear. It seems that anyone with good water skills can swim to the other side. .
The scenery on the other side of the river is very similar to that on this side. They are all cascading mountains, covered with tall trees of various colors, so lush and green that you can't see the edge at a glance.
However, Xu Huaigu could see in the distance of the mountains over there, there seemed to be a very high peak, standing out among the mountains, at least twice as high as the surrounding mountains, like a tall tower in the plains, very conspicuous.
But the mountain is too far away. Even if you look at it with Xu Huaigu's level and hold your breath carefully, you can only see vaguely and cannot see the details.
The slightly cold wind from the Lingjiang River blew on his cheeks, which was extremely cool. Xu Huaigu closed his eyes intoxicated, feeling the wind of his long-lost hometown.
The wind whistled past his ears. He was so fascinated that he didn't even hear the footsteps when someone walked up to him. Fortunately, the person's intentions were not bad.
A woman in white came, with a dignified temperament, but her clothes were very simple, and she didn't have a single piece of jewelry on her body.
Her waist-length hair is simply draped behind her shoulders, her eyebrows are like crescent moons, and her face hides the spring breeze. Seeing that Xu Huaigu didn't respond, she wasn't annoyed. She just smiled lightly and sat down next to Xu Huaigu.
Xu Huaigu was still immersed in his own world, but he felt someone suddenly sitting next to him, and he was naturally startled.
When he opened his eyes and looked carefully, he couldn't help but be fascinated. Isn't the person coming here the old friend he misses so much? Xu Huaigu was filled with emotions in an instant. Thousands of words came to his heart, but he didn't know which one to say first.
After a long while, he said in a daze: "Sister Bai." Bai Xiaoyu's tone was a little aggrieved and said: "Thank you for remembering me and knowing how to write me a letter before coming here, otherwise I would have thought you were dead. ." Xu Huaigu paused, sighed and said: "It was really thrilling to escape from death that time. Even I thought I was going to die, so I left a will. In the end, I didn't die, but it attracted many people to try. I'm sad, really..." Bai Xiaoyu frowned, put her index finger on his lips, and said, "Don't continue talking." Xu Huaigu swallowed what he was about to say and looked straight into Bai Xiaoyu's eyes.
Her eyes were light green with ridged pupils, and they were still as beautiful as when they first met. But Xu Huaigu was not sure whether he saw it wrong. He seemed to catch a glimpse of some strange changes in her eyes, and her light green eyes seemed to be covered by a hazy white gauze.
They were very similar to her master's black pupils, except that the pupils were black, while Bai Xiaoyu's were white, and the color was far less dark than hers.
A trace of panic flashed in Bai Xiaoyu's eyes, and she quickly turned her eyes to the other side of the Lingjiang River, looking at the tallest mountain in the distance.
Xu Huaigu had a bad feeling in his heart. Just as he was about to ask, Bai Xiaoyu pointed at the particularly eye-catching mountain and said, "Do you know what that mountain is called?" Xu Huaigu was interrupted and also It was not easy to ask again, so he shook his head and replied: "I just came to Lingjiang. It's my first time to see that mountain. I don't know what it is."
"That mountain is called Qiyue Mountain. It is the highest mountain in East Fuyao Continent and the highest mountain in Fuyao Continent in ancient times. Since Fuyao Continent split into two continents, the east and west, the south of East Fuyao Continent has been occupied by monsters from outside the territory. That mountain It became the place where the great demons were entrenched, and even Molong lived in that mountain." Xu Huaigu looked at Qiyue Mountain thoughtfully and nodded.
He suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Sister Bai, I heard that in ancient times, Fuyao Continent was not divided into east and west. How come it was separated again later? And the East Fuyao Continent we are in is obviously located in the westernmost part of the Central Territory. Why is it so different?" Do you want to add the word "东" in front?" Bai Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "Don't you even know this? Have you never heard anyone talk about this outside?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said: "In I heard some about it when I was traveling around, but it was all too fragmentary and I never understood the whole story." Bai Xiaoyu suddenly said: "I see, then I will tell you."
"It is said that in this ancient period, there was only Fuyao Continent, and there was no distinction between east and west continents. But in the war with the monster clan, the battle was too fierce, especially between the big monster and the big monk. At that time, There is a great swordsman at the pinnacle of the Twelve Realms in the Central Region, who is also the ancestor of the Yang family sword lineage, named Yang Yi. During the fight with Mo Long, he used his whole life's swordsmanship to swing a sword, intending to forever There will be no future troubles. It’s just that Molong was cunning by nature and used a trick to make the sword fall into the air. So the sword fell on the land of Fuyao Island, from north to south, cutting the mountain like mud. Encountering the mountain It opens, and breaks when it encounters water. With a sword, Fuyao Continent was split into two continents, the east and west. Then the sea water poured in, and the land on both sides was isolated from each other. Fuyao Continent has been separated since then. And the Great Sword Immortal Yang Yi Also because this sword consumes too much sword energy, the flying sword of my life was broken by Mo Long in that battle, my vitality was severely damaged, and I never had the chance to ascend, and I died not long after."
"Therefore, the word "东" in front of Fuyao Continent does not represent its location in the central region, but refers to the eastern half of Fuyao Continent, which is different from the west Fuyao Continent." Xu Huaigu was fascinated by what he was thinking about. The sword must be so powerful that it can split one continent into two.
Can just a sword really be so powerful? Will he be able to strike out with a sword like that one day?
Seeing Xu Huaigu's obsessed look, Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing and said: "These are all legends from the Central Region, and there are some artificially processed elements, but the power of that sword is indeed great. Later generations even gave that sword a name, and it was called 'A Sword to Divide Continents'. If you are interested, you might as well go to some bookstores in the Xianjia Market. There are usually books related to this matter for sale." Xu Huaigu, a book reader, asked again: "What if Molong What about that sword hit? Will you die?" Bai Xiaoyu frowned and said: "It's hard to say. After all, it's hard for anyone to make inferences about things that haven't happened. I can only tell you, that Molong's strength is so terrifying that in the end it took three great monks from the Twelve Realms to work together to suppress it in Qingling. Yang Yi's sword alone may not be enough." Xu Huaigu took a breath. Cool air.
If a sword that could split a continent in half couldn't kill the Molong, he couldn't think of anything else that could kill it.
What's more, the human race is now in decline. Not to mention the three great monks of the Twelve Realms, there is not even one. The hope of suppressing Molong again is probably very slim.
The situation in the world is not very optimistic. Bai Xiaoyu saw Xu Huaigu frowning and knew what he was thinking, so he advised: "But don't worry too much. Although the war is very unfavorable to the human race, it is not without a chance to win. To take a step back, even if The human race has been defeated, and I will definitely protect you. When the war is over, it might be a good idea for you to find a clean place to live in peace." Xu Huaigu is still a little disappointed. He doesn't want Bai Xiaoyu's protection. He wants to rely on his own Strength to survive.
Bai Xiaoyu put her palm on the back of his hand and squeezed it gently. Xu Huaigu was startled and raised his head to look at her. Bai Xiaoyu looked directly into his eyes and said firmly: "No matter what the world will become, I will keep you and Li Zi. I joined the Demon Sect back then, not for Everything else is just for this." Xu Huaigu had mixed feelings in his heart, both moved and sad.
Bai Xiaoyu said lonely: "It's just that Li Zi misunderstood me. She thought that I betrayed her by joining the Demon Sect." Xu Huaigu asked hurriedly: "Li Zi is also in Qingling? Have you met?"
"Yes, Li Zi has been in Qingling for a long time, and she lives in the house opposite the grocery store. But our meeting was not pleasant. She hated the demon clan so much that she couldn't listen to what I said. Xu Huaigu, if you have the chance, I hope you can persuade her, I'm afraid she will risk her own life to fight against the demon clan." Xu Huaigu frowned and nodded heavily.
Bai Xiaoyu added: "I can't stay in Qingling for too long. Master also asked me to do something important. But Jiang Chengcuo will not go with me. He will stay in Qingling until I do it. Until I come back to him after that thing. During this period, please help me take care of him. He is impatient, so don't let him cause trouble." Xu Huaigu asked worriedly: "Are you in danger?" Bai Xiaoyu smiled. He said: "No, I'm just talking about something with others. Where is the danger? Besides, even if there is, I still have a way to save my life. If it doesn't work, Master can still save me." Xu Huaigu felt relieved and said: "Okay, Then remember to come back early after you finish your work." Bai Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, and then said: "But that matter is not urgent. The time has not come yet, so you can sit by the river all day today." Xu Huaigu's brows relaxed and he smiled happily.
When he saw Sister Bai, he rekindled his old friendship with her. No matter what the general trend of the world or the national justice and interests? If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow.
