(Main plot, continued from Chapter 39)
Li Xuan was devastated, picked up a pearl hairpin, and burst into tears again. There was a sigh from the side, and the Marquis walked slowly from the forest. "Old friend, I am happy for you if you can let go of the past and open up your heart!"
Li Xuan wiped away his tears and turned to look at the old grave. "Twenty years after the princess passed away, I can't forget my old love, so I used magic to keep her soul in the world. I wanted to bring her back to life, and I didn't hesitate to fight against the Linghu family. Deal, use the transformation pill and the 'soul casting' technique to resurrect her, it's really a ridiculous dream to think about it!"
"My old friend gave up his imperial power and wealth for love, and today he broke his nightmare. He is truly a sweetheart, and his love can move the heavens and the earth!"
"My father's last words reminded me that I wasted no time reading the books of sages and did something that went against human ethics and nature. I'm really ashamed! I'm done with it. I'll let the princess go today to put an end to this bad fate." !”
"What you did today is also a great wisdom and a great decision. Saying goodbye to the dream also requires great courage!"
Li Xuan sighed sadly: "But, I have given up the throne and my beloved has left. I don't know what else to do?"
"Yesterday, the new emperor ascended the throne. He was given the title of Shunping and a general amnesty was granted to the world. The meritorious ministers were promoted to three levels in a row. I pity the palace guards who saw the previous emperor's demonic transformation. They were executed or exiled. Some people are really happy and some are worried!"
"I only thought that the emperor's younger brother Li Zhi was courteous and modest. Who knew that he was also decisive and ruthless in killing? This is probably the way of an emperor!"
"The Holy One also did this as a last resort to protect the reputation of the late emperor. I also heard that King Yi reported illness and returned to his fiefdom. It seems that the world can be at peace."
"On the great road of heaven, we are all worried in vain. Let's get back to the topic, is it still the same thing that my old friend asked me to do last time?"
"Yes, I have tried my best to unlock the 'Sirius Seal', and finally I have some clues."
"It's a coincidence that I checked the Imperial City Secretary's records and got the answer."
The two people's fingers were spinning, and two overlapping words "Dragon Breath" appeared in the air.
"According to classic records, 'Dragon's Breath' originally belongs to the fairy world and is the most powerful and sharpest thing in the world. It can definitely split the 'Sirius Seal'! It's just that the traces of the dragon are hard to find, and how to obtain 'Dragon's Breath' has been hard to find throughout the ages. One example, easier said than done?”
"I also know that the road ahead is difficult and difficult to reach the sky, but I am afraid of difficulties and refuse to move forward. This is not my style!"
"Well, I'm waiting for good news from my old friend!"
The two laughed, full of pride. The Marquis suddenly changed the subject: "I have always been curious, what is the connection between you and that Yuhong Pavilion?"
"She and I were able to form a connection in the vast sea of people. I cherish it very much, and I believe that this connection must have its karma and blessings!"
The Marquis smiled and said: "The dangerous relationship between you and that 'Hell Girl' is not over yet. I hope you will have a good relationship with Yuhongting!"
Three days later, three handsome boys and girls appeared on the eastbound official road. They were dressed in rich clothes, riding horses, chatting and laughing all the way.
Along the way, the Jade Red Pavilion was chirping like a cheerful bird. She was a very nervous person, and she was in agony over her unwarranted death a few days ago. Now, as soon as she embarked on the journey to find the dragon, the scenery was so beautiful that she quickly forgot her worries.
Que Xiu was so quiet that the noise made his head buzz, "If I had known you were a talkative woman, I shouldn't have brought you here!"
Yuhongting scolded: "Brother Qingtian strongly invites you for such a dangerous journey, because only a poor nun can help a lot. This piece of wood like yours is just a burden!"
Qingtian secretly cried out that she was wronged. If she hadn't begged the Marquis in tears, who would have caused these troubles?
Moving forward, there were more and more people, and they could smell the salty sea breeze. Qingtian told the two of them: "It's extremely dangerous to go looking for dragons here. We should try our best to keep a low profile. Hongting can no longer claim to be a poor nun, so as not to attract attention. ."
"Little sister, I remember!" This sweet reply made Que Xiu's teeth itch with boredom. He really hoped that these two people would quickly bow to heaven and earth and go into the bridal chamber.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, there is a small town on the winding coastline. It is small and well-proportioned. It is full of people and very popular.
"This is Xunlong Town, and it really has the spirit of a fairy! It is said that Master Xu went to sea from here, found the trace of the fairy, and fought a fierce battle with the dragon on the island. Just thinking about it is so majestic and fascinating!"
"Now that we have arrived in the fairyland, what emotion do you have left for me to express?" Yuhongting whipped his horse and whipped his horse, and flew away in a cloud of dust and smoke.
"Asking that stinky girl to keep a low profile is like playing tricks on a cow!"
The two of them relaxed the reins and let the horse ride freely. As soon as they entered the town, Yuhongting came up to them with a very mysterious expression, "Brother Qingtian, my little sister will gain something as soon as she enters the town. Look at this dragon-hunting map of Penglai Fairy Island. It’s marked in detail and only costs ten taels of silver.”
Que Xiu sneered, "The hawker selling on the street charges ten cents for a map. You're a scapegoat!"
"Those are all fakes, and mine is the real thing? Right? Brother Qingtian?"
Qingtian smiled bitterly, speechless. This town is simply a world of dragons. The weapons are dragon-slaying swords and knives. The longan cakes and dragon-scale cakes we eat are all in the shape of dragons. The trinkets and toys are all in the shape of dragons. It’s dizzying to see. You can’t put it down when you hold the Jade Red Pavilion in your hands.
When we arrived at the largest inn in the town, its name was more straightforward: "Xunlong Inn". As soon as the three of them stopped, the waiter quickly came out and said, "The three of them are heroes who are looking for dragons at first glance. It is perfect to live here because Master Xu stayed here. We have the latest picture of looking for dragons." , the Dragon Control Pill will double your power, and there is also a passenger ship that goes directly to Penglai Island, rain or shine..."
In the evening, the three of them drank wine at the inn and observed the people around them. They all had sharp eyes and strong expressions, and they looked like martial arts people at first glance. Qingtian sighed: "I wanted to keep a low profile, but who knew I would fall into a trap of right and wrong as soon as I came here?"
Yu Hongting whispered: "Brother, look at the three people at the door. Their scabbards are snow-white and shaped like a crescent moon. They should be people from the Snow Mountain Sect. They have come all the way from thousands of miles away. Their motives are self-evident."
She turned her eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in the corner, "You can see that his face is covered by a bamboo hat and his behavior is hidden. You can tell he is an expert at a glance. You must be careful."
Que Xiuzhuan confronted her, pointed at a pair of grandparents and grandchildren in another corner and said, "I think they are the masters among masters. Be careful to beat you until you find teeth everywhere!"
Yuhongting was so angry that he wanted to start a fight, but Qingtian quickly stopped him and then changed the subject: "Nowadays, there are many people and we have to discuss the plan."
"What other plans can there be? There is a mixed bag of people here, and everyone is going to the same destination by different routes. I think going with the flow may not be a bad idea!"
Yuhongting actually nodded repeatedly and agreed with Que Xiu's statement: "I heard from the waiter that the passenger ships from this town that often go to Penglai Immortal Island return without success in nine out of ten cases. The dragon seekers either come back halfway or fail. Life or death is unclear, and such a dangerous journey at least shows that the direction is correct."
"Then let's buy some boat tickets and go to sea with them."
At night, the wind was silent and the sound of waves seemed to be right next to his pillow, making Que Xiu unable to sleep. After the battle, he still couldn't relax his tense nerves. Moreover, he was worried about his master. Could he really be in any danger? After tossing and turning like this, it was already the third watch.
There was a soft sound on the roof, and his nerves immediately tensed up. This was not the sound of a cat walking around, but the sound of a person with the highest level of Qinggong flying by. He immediately put on his clothes and got out of bed, ducking outside. In the dark night, there were several dark figures flying along the ridge of the house, and he followed them silently from a distance.
The shadows chase and then fight on the beach. Que Xiu hid sideways behind the rocks, and it turned out that Qingtian had already been one step ahead of him and was here to watch the battle.
Four people on the field were beating up one of them. The man was thin and thin. Although his face was covered, Que Xiu could tell which onion it was at a glance. At first, no weapons were used, just ordinary fists and kicks. The man fought one against four, his fists and kicks were fierce, and he beat the other four to the point where they were rolling and crawling.
When the leader saw something bad, he roared and the four of them ran away separately. Yu Hongting waved her long sleeve, and the "Yu Xue Chen" flew up and wrapped around the waist of the person behind her. She pushed hard and the person's body flew up.
Murong Qingtian, who was watching the battle from the side, suddenly took action, first cutting off the tentacles of "Yu Xuechen" with a wisp of wind, and then using his feminine palm force, he sent the man several feet away. The man managed to survive and fled in a hurry.
Yuhongting stamped his feet in anxiety and complained softly: "Brother Qingtian, why are you helping the enemy?"
Qingtian smiled and said: "These people don't use weapons, firstly to hide their identities, and secondly because they don't want to fight you. It can be seen that their target is not us. Going to find the dragon is a big deal, so don't make enemies everywhere!"
Although Yuhongting pouted, she still agreed in her heart.
Que Xiu'ai quarreled with Qingtian and immediately refuted him: "I don't think so. On the journey to find the dragon, there are more monks and less rice. If you get rid of one, there will be one less competitor. It's hard to say that their target is not us."
"Even if, as you said, the first shot is the first, we must keep a low profile and be cautious!" The two of them talked to each other, they were really happy enemies, and Hongting was most happy to see this kind of situation.
Going out to sea the next day, Qingtian and others boarded the ship early, and then paid attention to the people who were boarding the ship one after another, remembering their appearance and characteristics, and being aware of them. Jade Red Pavilion is like a walking dictionary of the world, and everyone can name it. It seems that although Qingyu'an is a small sect, it is still unique in terms of experience in the world.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, and Que Xiu seemed like a superfluous person, he was a little unconvinced, so he interrupted and changed the subject: "I heard that your Four Demon Conqueror families have deep roots, so why didn't you invite some help?"
Qingtian replied: "I have already contacted the helpers, but I was short of time and they couldn't catch up." As he was speaking, a person lowered his hat and walked quickly up the gangway, hitting the person in the corner of the shop last night.
Yu Hongting said: "This man's figure and steps show no trace of his sect. He must be a troublesome person. Be careful!"
However, Que Xiu hurried forward to greet him, raised his hands and said, "I am Que Xiu of the Yushan sect, dare I ask my senior?"
The man was unprepared and instinctively returned the courtesy, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I don't have a sect, and my surname is Lu Mingli."
Que Xiu returned, quite proud, "Instead of guessing, it's better to take the initiative. Now at least I have a name."
The sun rises in the east, full of vitality, and the ship is unmoored and ready to sail away. At this time, two people, an old man and a young man, a grandson and a grandson, rushed over. They were the two people who had been making comments last night. When a crew member stopped him, the old man raised his hand and threw out a few coins and pulled the young man into the cabin.
The side plank had been removed, and another girl rushed over with a shout. Que Xiuyi frowned, "These people are rushing to board the ship, as if they are rushing to reincarnate!"
Yuhongting spat: "You crow's mouth, you always say unlucky things!"
Seeing that the ship had moved, the girl jumped up in a hurry, but unfortunately she was still half a foot away. Que Xiu hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arm, and with ease, the girl jumped onto the deck. Her face was crimson and she was very shy. She turned around and ran towards the cabin, calling softly, "Senior brother..."
