New Year's Eve, midnight.
When the clock strikes midnight, the old year passes and the new year arrives.
It is no longer just Huanming City that is in turmoil, but also Pinglan City in the human world.
Message talismans flew out from the top of Wangjiang Mountain, and anxious figures one after another ran towards Pinglan City.
In the surging Hengshui River, a huge dragon head probed slightly in the deep river bottom. The dragon opened its eyes, and the wind and waves on the river suddenly became violent.
Standing on the roof of Dingbo Tower by the river, Ye Lingguan, who was practicing with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes at this moment.
Outside the quiet room, someone paused quietly.
Ye Lingguan's hands in his sleeves moved slightly, and the door of the quiet room slid open on its own. A young man with a tall figure and a slightly cold and melancholy face immediately stepped in.
He knelt down opposite Ye Lingguan and saluted, "Master."
This person is none other than Duan Xinghun, the eldest disciple of Ye Lingguan, the thirty-sixth one on the list of geniuses!
Ye Lingguan said: "Is there anything to gain from going to Suyang?"
Yes, Duan Xinghun went to Suyang to investigate about the Dragon Girl. It had been nearly a month since then before he rushed back to Pinglan on New Year's Eve.
When he came back, he happened to witness the changes in the light curtains on the top of Wangjiang Mountain.
Ye Lingguan asked Su Yang first, and Duan Xinghun was not in a hurry to mention the matter of Huan Ming City, and said: "The dragon girl's aura has completely disappeared. The disciples have used the nine techniques of stars to deduce, and the result is blank. On the other hand, Su Yang's earth veins are damaged. , the vitality is lost, and I don’t know when it will be restored.”
Ye Lingguan's hands gently pinched in his sleeves, and he frowned slightly after a moment.
But soon he calmed down and said, "In that case, let's just let it go. After all, it's a matter of cause and effect. It's just a pity for Suyang."
After a while, he added: "I will go to the imperial court for my master's sake, requesting tax exemption and relief for Suyang and disaster relief."
The melancholy on Duan Xinghun's face faded slightly, and he said: "Master, the disciple also experienced something in Suyang. The disciple encountered a group of strange people who were dissipating. They sealed a warrior in a box... …”
He recounted everything he had encountered on the streets of the Xu family.
The eldest son Xu was tortured in a box by the strange human skin he brewed, and his end was extremely miserable.
After Duan Xinghun encountered this incident, he did not help him - according to Duan Xinghun's previous philosophy, since Weird was harming people, there was no need to explore the cause, just kill Wei directly.
But this time, he violated his long-standing ideas and principles!
Instead of rescuing the person who was being tortured in the box, he actually stayed underground with those weirdos for more than ten days.
Until the vitality of Suyang City dissipated to a certain extent and Weiwei could no longer rely on it, Duan Xinghun personally took action and killed the people in the box torture to ashes, leaving their souls scattered on the spot!
The weird people held hands and quietly sang songs around him.
When the singing faded away, so did those strange people with white faces, red lips, and bright clothes.
But those pale smiling faces and those ethereal and melancholy songs always lingered in his heart and never left.
Duan Xinghun didn't know whether his choice was correct, just as he couldn't answer Tushan Katsuki, who was right and who was wrong in the incident between Long Nu and Xiao Hong?
Duan Xinghun finished talking about everything he experienced in Suyang City, but subconsciously concealed the discussion he had with Tushan Keji. He looked at Ye Lingguan with an unknowing look of melancholy and admiration.
Ye Lingguan was silent for a moment and said: "Idiot! You are possessed by a demon!"
Duan Xinghun was suddenly shocked, his eyes slightly widened, and he was speechless for a moment.
Ye Lingguan raised his hand and said: "The Taoist heart is damaged, only Mingyuequan can cleanse it. You just need to take good care of yourself, and you can't make breakthroughs until the Taoist heart recovers."
There was a clear and soft light on the tips of his fingers, like dewdrops or mist.
This soft light was placed between Duan Xinghun's eyebrows, and Duan Xinghun immediately felt a chill in his head. The previous confusion and pain all faded away at this moment.
Although all the doubts in his heart had not been answered, for a moment, Duan Xinghun seemed to feel that those doubts were not that important after all.
He felt a kind of initial purity and transparency, as if all spirits were born, as if the rising sun broke through the clouds.
This shocked him mentally, and all the hidden wounds caused by the damage to his Taoist heart seemed to be healed at this moment.
Duan Xinghun's eyes suddenly brightened and his back straightened slightly.
Ye Lingguan said: "This time Huan Ming City is open, and Sheng'er has also entered it. You can go to the top of Wangjiang Mountain in person and wait for the response. If there really is a spiritual treasure, with Sheng'er's ability, no one in Huan Ming City should be able to do it. His rival."
Looking at the top of the river and the mountain, it’s midnight.
At this moment, there were too many figures going down the mountain, and too many figures coming up from the bottom.
Some people are in the light and some are in the dark.
Some people are in the limelight, and some are unknown.
…
In Pinglan City, thousands of lights are still on.
The New Year's Eve firecrackers were lit overlappingly, and gorgeous fireworks shot up into the sky. In the smell of gunpowder smoke, there seemed to be children shouting for joy, adults shouting, and some people shouting: "Fight the Nian beast! Fight the Nian beast!" It’s the Nian beast!”
"The Nian beast is driven away, the family is rich and prosperous, celebrate the New Year, celebrate the New Year!"
There are all kinds of low-level little monsters running around in the corners of the city. They are often ignored by rabbit monsters and cat monsters. If they are snake monsters, rat monsters, or some horrible-looking insect-like monsters, then they must be there. Everyone is shouting for beating.
There are also various low-level weirdos at the gray game level, who are not bound by the weird environment and wander in the shadow of various lights.
But they must not dare to wander into areas where people gather and lights are brightly lit.
Tonight, in Pinglan City, it is the world of humans.
People light firecrackers and gather together happily. The yin energy is suppressed and the yang energy rises rapidly. The crackling sign is the New Year.
Amidst the laughter, no one noticed that there were also various invisible auras that were difficult for the human eye to see, flying continuously as the excitement continued.
Some of them flew into the sky, some burrowed into the ground, and some flew halfway and disappeared into thin air.
Fantasy City, the place where all the negative emotions in the world gather and converge.
What are negative emotions?
This is true for greed, anger, delusion, and anger, so is love, evil, desire, and jealousy. This is also true for excessive joy...
Few people know that according to the rules of the Ming Qi Spring, all excessive emotions should be classified as negative.
The love of parents, the love of husband and wife, the love of lovers, the love of close friends, no matter how sincere the love is, there will be desire when there is love, and there will be demons when there is desire.
These are all the resources for the underworld qi spring in Huanming City.
Including the monks in Huanming City, when they heard the saying that "spiritual treasures are born, the virtuous will live in them", their hearts fluttered, and their minds were shaken.
As more and more people walked into those flying strips of light, masses of Qi that were invisible to the human eye were rapidly rising into the air.
On the streets of Huanming City, Song Ciwan looked at a strip of light flying not far ahead, but did not rush into it.
She grabbed Xie Yunxiang, took out three Ancestral Dragon Coins on the street, activated her Qi, and while silently thinking about good or bad luck, she threw the three copper coins on the ground.
If you do this several times in succession, the Yin Yao and Yang Yao will be in the right position, which is a lucky hexagram!
