Li Qinghua stood in the night sky blankly.
It's the night sky.
But it is not the night sky seen from the human world.
Then Li Qinghua knew that he must have guessed the identity of the woman who claimed to be Sihuai wrongly.
What kind of human monster can intercept a section of the galaxy and give it to the world as a gift?
"Why?"
Li Qinghua finally asked why.
Yao Ji held her umbrella sideways and stood in the night, tilting her head to look at Li Qinghua, then looking down at the pair of floral socks on her feet.
"Because you gave me something too."
"...."
Although Li Qinghua has a strange mind, it is not that he does not understand these things.
What kind of floral socks can change a galaxy?
"So you are not actually a great demon?"
"Yes, I am the goddess of Wushan."
Yao Ji said calmly.
But there was not much shock in Li Qinghua's eyes, it just seemed like it should be like this.
Perhaps those shocks had already turned into streams of light and filled the night sky when Xinghe was worn on his wrist.
So Li Qinghua took it for granted.
That's how it should be - I am the goddess of Wushan.
I am a mountain ghost.
I am Yao Ji.
But Li Qinghua's mind was still a little confused, and she stood there for a long time without saying anything.
Then the stars in the world faded away.
Li Qinghua and Yao Ji reappeared next to the bonfire by the Muyun River.
Yao Ji sat there, looking down at the little socks on her feet, then picked up the old pair of small cloth shoes and put them on her feet.
"If you want to go to Yaofeng's Qinse Valley, I can take you there directly."
Yao Ji put on her shoes, sat under the rock with an umbrella diagonally held up, and looked at Li Qinghua quietly.
Li Qinghua raised her head and looked south.
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Forget it."
"Why?"
"Because it's so boring." Li Qinghua said softly. "It's like I'm waiting for someone who doesn't know how long I'll have to wait."
Li Qinghua thought of the Jianzong disciple who played cards and laughed all day long, and smiled softly.
"I don't know if he's going to come, so it makes sense to wait."
"If someone had told me a long time ago that he would definitely come, or that he would definitely not come, then the waiting would lose its original color."
"I would rather not know anything and turn waiting into a painful, yet sweet and happy thing."
"I don't want to know the answer early, and then the story becomes boring, and the love disappears in the long years."
Li Qinghua smiled softly and looked at Yao Ji.
"The same goes for going to Qinse Valley."
"If you go there early, there will be a large gap left in the story. If you add a stroke, you are worried that it will be superfluous. If you do nothing, you are worried that the story will not be satisfactory in the end."
"This is not the trajectory a complete life story should take."
"I want to walk the road one by one while waiting little by little with the feeling of not knowing anything. If he doesn't come in the future, I will not have walked such a long journey in vain - the scenery along the way is always beautiful beautiful."
Yao Ji looked at the woman in a blue and white dress quietly and said softly: "Then he came in the end?"
Li Qinghua smiled shyly and stroked down the corner of her skirt that was blown up by the wind.
"If he comes, I will have many stories and scenery to tell him!"
Yao Ji stared blankly at the woman named Li Qinghua. After a long time, she turned her head and looked at the long river with endless clouds and mist in the night, and then looked up at the night sky filled with stars.
Yes, of course there is more than just scenery at the end of the world.
So Yao Ji stood up and said softly: "I understand."
Li Qinghua smiled softly and said, "But I also want to thank you for your kindness."
Yao Ji was silent for a while. Very few people would use such a sentence - thank you for your kindness.
So much so that Yao Ji was a little distracted at that moment.
Suddenly I can't remember what people said a long time ago?
Is it begging for mercy?
Yao Ji shook her head, no longer thinking about these things, and looked at this woman who was like a small blue flower blooming by the night river.
"So you need to forget today's story?"
Li Qinghua was stunned, tilted her head and looked at Yao Ji and said, "Why should you forget?"
Yao Ji said softly: "Because some people don't like people like me. They refuse to accept all gifts from me, thinking that they are shameful things that will degrade the world."
Yao Ji said, but she laughed, looked at Li Qinghua, and said: "Just imagine, if one day, someone thinks your chain is very beautiful, and you say it was given to you by the goddess Yao Ji, then they They will scold you, cling to ghosts and gods, and not want to make progress."
Li Qinghua shook his head and said: "Why can't you tell me? If someone asks, I will definitely tell them happily that this was given to me by the goddess Yao Ji. It is a galaxy. Such a bright and beautiful thing, no matter who is regarded as Everyone feels satisfied when they receive a gift - what does this have to do with clinging to ghosts and gods? If you like beautiful things, do you have to avoid the possibility of getting a vain reputation? If you want a reputation that is not vain If you deliberately pursue something you don’t like, then what is true vanity?”
Yao Ji stared blankly at this woman who was weak on the outside but extremely firm and clear on the inside. Then she laughed softly and said, "Yes, that's true, so you really don't choose to forget?"
Li Qinghua looked up at the sky and smiled, saying: "No, because this is a very beautiful story. I will definitely have some friends in the future, and I will tell them this story then. Tell them that I was once in On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, I met the goddess, I went to the sky, touched the stars once, and then how did I return to the human world, and how many days and nights did I wander around with such joy before I finally Remember this story so that you can tell it to them so many years later."
"Isn't this wonderful?"
Yao Ji listened attentively, then looked down at the pair of floral socks on her feet, as well as the shabby but clean little shoes.
"I will also tell your story to others, Li Qinghua."
Yao Ji said with a soft smile.
"good."
Li Qinghua nodded happily.
Yao Ji didn't say anything else. She wore floral socks, clean shoes, and walked into the night holding a maple-colored umbrella.
Contrary to Li Qinghua, they left in the direction they came.
.......
Along the Muyun River, there is a cliff that is not too high.
If Li Qinghua had walked a little further here, he would have seen a person sitting on the cliff.
Dressed in white.
A sword spirit.
A bloody peach blossom bloomed in my heart.
A long sword is stuck in the peach blossom.
If Li Qinghua saw it, he would naturally know who this person was.
Everyone in Nanyi City knows who this person is.
The sword of cause and effect is clustered with blades.
That's where Yao Ji was looking at first.
After the dusk rain, the sky is filled with stars and rivers scattered around the world.
The figure was still sitting there.
Yao Ji held an umbrella and walked slowly along the mountain road to the cliff wearing floral socks and clean shoes.
"It seems you are very satisfied with your first pair of shoes and socks."
Cong Ren opened his eyes, looked at Yao Ji beside him, and said calmly.
Yao Ji said softly: "Yes."
Cong Ren looked down at his shoes. The soles, which had not seen dust and mud for many years, were now filled with debris and some dried blood.
So Cong Ren pushed his shoes down his legs and hid them.
"It's a pity that she didn't see me at that time, otherwise I would have wanted to change my shoes." Cong Ren said slowly.
Yao Ji didn't care about the shoes, she just looked quietly at the blood stains on Cong Ren's heart that had not yet dried up, like a peach blossom, and the handle that penetrated directly through Cong Ren's heart and protruded from his back. The long sword came out.
"I have heard of your name, the Human Sword Sect Cong Yan, one of the three swords in the world, one person who controls the north and south of the world." Yao Ji said softly, "So I am a little curious, who can stab you with your sword Heart."
Cong Ren said calmly: "In the final analysis, those who use swords walk around the world with the blade of the sword in mind. It is not surprising that something like this happened."
Yao Ji looked at Cong Ren's heart quietly for a long time and said, "I'm more curious than that."
Cong Ren condensed his sword intent on his chest, not to suppress the injury, but to seal the sea of heart vessels with his sword intent to prevent the long sword from falling off. He had practiced swords for thousands of years, and had cultivated his sword intent for thousands of years. It is full of sword intent. If this sword is not suppressed, the tide of sword intent is far more terrifying than the surge of blood. Once this sword is pushed away, not to mention what will happen to itself, it will be a hundred miles away. , will all be wiped out by sword intent.
Cong Ren smiled softly and said, "So what you are curious about is how you woke up."
Yao Ji said softly: "Yes."
Cong Ren looked down at his heart, remained silent for a long time, and said, "I don't know either."
"What don't you know?"
"Don't know either thing."
Yao Ji raised her head and looked at the world. The stars on the cliff were shining with silver light, but it did not fall into the long river. It just rippled slowly in the mist like flowing clouds.
"If you don't know two things, then it's one thing." Yao Ji said slowly. "But I have a rough understanding of your human story. There are only two people who can do this, Liuyun Sword Sect, Chen Yunxi, and your Majesty, Kamigawa."
Cong Ren said calmly: "It's just that there are only two that can be remembered by the world."
"Do you have any other options?"
"No." Cong Ren said calmly, "But this sword is enough to make me doubt everyone, including myself."
Yao Ji felt the aura on Cong Ren's body carefully and said softly: "You have traces of time on your body."
Cong Ren raised his hand and stroked the blade of the sword in his heart, and said slowly: "Because I have used the art of migration many times, and I have also used the art of listing words many times. I have even used the two complementary techniques. Several times. During the period before you asked me to go back to the year before, I wandered through it repeatedly for nearly a hundred years."
Yao Ji raised her eyebrows and looked at Cong Ren's temples. Under those black hairs, there was a faint white hair.
"what have you found?"
Cong Ren was silent for a long time and said softly: "Nothing. I sent a sword at the Gate of Time. When the time went against the flow for the ninety-ninth time, it came back to me."
To be precise, it was back to Cong Ren's heart.
So the blood bloomed like peach blossoms.
When Cong Ren said this, he chuckled.
"Because that sword went directly into my heart, that person probably relaxed his vigilance." Cong Ren said softly, "But what he didn't expect was that I still carried out the migration for the hundredth time."
"Did you see him?"
Cong Ren shook his head, stood up, stood under the Milky Way, and said calmly: "I saw a corner of his robes that he wore in a hurry over the years."
Yao Ji looked at Cong Ren quietly and asked, "What is that?"
Cong Ren raised his hand, smeared some blood on the intersection of the sword blade and the flesh on his heart, and wrote two words on Yao Ji's palm.
nineteen.
Yao Ji looked at the two blood-colored fonts in her palm in silence, not knowing what they meant.
Looking at Cong Ren, Cong Ren also calmly shook his head.
"I don't know either."
The two fell silent.
After standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the world of yellow beams for a long time, he turned around and looked north with great tacit understanding.
Above the peaks of Wushan Mountain in Daze, under the clouds and mist in the sky, there are many rays of light shining faintly.
Cong Ren said softly: "It is really difficult to find the landing point of the Yuexing Formation hidden in the sky."
Yao Ji was silent for a long time and then said, "You want to intervene?"
Cong Ren said calmly: "I won't care. Although Ming Yu and others are very strong, I am not a person without martial ethics. The Human Sword Sect has been around for so many years, and they will not always rely on me to support the situation."
"what about me?"
Cong Ren laughed and said, "I can't beat you, so what does it matter?"
Yao Ji said softly: "You are sincere."
Cong Ren said slowly: "If I can sharpen Jian Ya's sword, this sentence will seem a bit hypocritical."
"Do you know?"
"I'm not from Mojian Cliff, so how could I?" Cong Ren said with a smile, "And I will most likely be very busy. I want to go to Mojian Cliff."
Yao Ji lowered her head and looked at the sword in Cong Ren's heart.
Cong Ren raised his hand and put it on the sword, flicking the sword casually, and the sword intent flowed turbulently on the cliff.
"Only the sword ladder at Mojian Cliff can suppress these sword intentions and allow me to draw my sword." Cong Ren said, looking at Yao Ji, "If you want to pursue some truth, of course you can. Just like you are asking me these things now."
"But if you want to do something else, such as dreaming about returning to the human world like those people from the witch and ghost realm, then I'm sorry, Lady Goddess."
"There is a sword on Mojian Cliff. Although no one in the world may be able to pull it out alive, some people can still pull it out if they don't want to live anymore."
Cong Ren sighed and said: "I can't describe to you what kind of sword it is, but the biggest regret in my life is that sword. In short, if I pull out that sword, maybe my The regret is gone, but your regret will remain.”
Cong Ren made a gesture to draw his sword, and then slowly left on the cliff.
"See you next time, Lady Goddess."
Yao Ji stood on the cliff holding an umbrella, quietly watching the man in white who left with a sword in his heart.
Sloppy and arrogant is probably the most accurate description of Cong Ren in the world.
Or maybe he really is just being undisciplined.
Just because his sword is very important to the world.
So he seemed a little arrogant.
This is reasonable and reasonable.
Just like a young man in green clothes who wears a wine gourd and speaks simple words with a smile, but people have to listen.
This is generally true for people who use swords.
Therefore, people often hope that it is best for the old man to sleep quietly in the garden until the end of time.
Yao Ji smiled softly and found it quite interesting.
So he turned around and walked towards the mountains.
...
Mei Quming and Nan Dequ returned from Lingbei when night fell.
Standing on the top of Nanyi City with Zhang Xiaoyu, they looked solemnly at the Wushan peaks under the clouds and sky.
"Have they not found the second landing point yet?" Mei Quming looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and asked.
Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Once the senior brothers went to the mountains, there was almost no news. There was no other news at all."
The three of them looked over there with solemn expressions, but they also had some doubts in their hearts.
Judging from what someone wrote after having a fever, there should have been some movement before this afternoon, but now the entire green mountain is extremely quiet.
"Have you ever seen the place where Senior Brother and Young Master Wubei fought at the beginning?" Nan Dequ looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said.
Zhang Xiaoyu said slowly: "That should be the last place to drop, but you also know that there is a young master Wubei there. Maybe there is something ghost there. Of course, the senior brothers will not go there to die."
Nan Dequ remained silent for a while and said, "Test it with a sword?"
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the sword in his arms. This was the Parrot Island in the South Island. It seemed that it was given to him by a big boss. Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "I want to give it a try."
Mei Quming said from the side: "There is actually little point in trying it. Although sword intention can replace some senses, if that kid Hua Wubei is still there, your sword will not even come back."
"..." Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the two of them going to Lingbei, "How is the situation in Lingbei?"
Mei Quming sighed and said, "You guessed it right, that boy from Beitai brought 300,000 green armors and intercepted Shanyue City's reinforcements directly there."
Zhang Xiaoyu had already anticipated this situation before, so he didn't panic much and turned back to look towards the mountain.
"In this case, there is no need to continue to waste time there. Senior brother, you go and inform everyone to retreat directly to Nanyi City and prepare to defend the city."
"Yes." Mei Quming responded, turning into sword light and heading towards Qingshan.
However, Mei Quming had not yet arrived at Daze.
Suddenly, dozens of sword lights rose from the green mountains of Daze, and they all headed towards the sky.
Countless sword cultivators on the ground raised their heads in confusion, not knowing what was happening.
At the same time, countless noisy sounds seemed to be heard throughout the Qingshan Mountains.
The hundreds of thousands of Huangliang troops that everyone had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared in Daze at this moment.
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the huge flow of people in the swamp from a distance.
His expression finally showed some surprise.
Yes, it’s not just Huangliang Witch Ghost Path.
There are also those soldiers who originally guarded the edge of the extremely difficult and endless deep ocean on the mainland.
How many are there?
Zhang Xiaoyu thought for a long time and finally remembered.
It should be eight hundred thousand.
It is still unclear whether eighty soldiers can defeat eight Lingnan sword cultivators.
But 800,000 can directly trample those 80,000 sword cultivators to death in the green mountains.
Under the guidance of the sword light, the entire Lingnan Eighty Thousand Sword Cultivators quickly retreated towards Nanyi City.
