In Yang Mansion, there are two stone lions on both sides of the gate, roaring majestically and filial piety, with flames shooting out of their eyes.
The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and the soldiers in black armor stood still, with their bodies as straight as guns. The darkness was like a dense thicket of black iron trees.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Yang's Mansion. The door was slowly pushed open, and the Yang family's steward came out to greet him. Everyone present bowed their heads with respect.
"Master of the family!" they shouted in unison.
The head of the Yang family, Yang Shi. is different from the impression that most people in the town have of him being pampered and wearing luxurious clothes. This man with gray hair on his temples is dressed in gray clothes. The color of the clothes is dull. He raises his head and looks at
Like an eagle, the years have not shown signs of decline in this man, but the scars of time have made him as steady as a mountain and as majestic as thunder.
He stood up and strode out of the car, until his figure disappeared into the mansion, and no one here looked up.
Being vigorous and resolute, it is more appropriate to say that he is a general rather than a noble lord.
But as he walked deeper into the mansion, the man's movements became slower and slower. The muscles on his face were twitching and adjusting. He was trying his best not to see his daughter with this face. The Yang family's mansion was very big, which was a bit unexpected.
Unexpectedly, it was very empty. Large tracts of land were planted with trees and no houses were built. When Yang Shi reached the end of the peach grove and was about to reach the redwood attic, a figure collided with him head-on.
A cry of surprise.
It quickly turned into joy.
"Husband? Why is it you? Didn't you send a message saying that there are still two or three days before we can return to the city?" Yang Shi helped the beautiful woman who was about to fall, probably the eldest lady of the Yang family who often talked about it when she went to the city.
The astonishing beauty was inherited from her, the mistress of the Yang family, Mrs. Sun.
"It's me." Compared to the rich expressions of the Yang family's mistress, the head of the family seemed too monotonous.
"Used the speed order," the man said.
The Speed Order, a low-level talisman, can greatly increase the running speed. It is like breaking through the wind and resistance, and even the earth helps those who use the Speed Order. For some monks who understand the talisman, it is quite
of practicality.
The two of them talked as they walked.
"That young man really cured Yue'er's disease?" The man was a little unbelievable, which was why he returned home this time.
Ever since Yue'er's illness started to appear, he had expended countless energy, but it was all to no avail. Even the monks were helpless. The only thing he could do was to use spiritual herbs to alleviate the illness, but it couldn't cure it.
How could this young man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere be cured? Yang Shi would rather see it than listen to it.
Many people know that the Yang family has strong financial resources, and there are many people who use this name to defraud money. Some evil ways can even damage Yue'er's already weak body. In this regard, Yang Shi has to be cautious. Moving forward,
He couldn't believe that a disease that was difficult to alleviate was now cured.
"Yes." Mrs. Sun also sighed with emotion.
"Husband, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, but Yue'er is indeed getting better. I haven't seen this child smile so happily for a long, long time."
"By the way, what's the name of that young man? He seems to be someone Yue'er knows. Is there such a thing?"
Mrs. Sun covered her mouth and chuckled: "That young man's name is Li Chengqi, do you remember him? Lao Li's grandson. Didn't this boy often climb the locust tree next to our yard and sneak in to play with the moon? If you were so angry, just give it to him at that time.
The tree was cut down. I don’t remember Li Chengqi, but you still remember this, right? This kid was frightened by you at the time, and he was the one Lao Li came to fish for."
"Hey, that kid!" Yang Shi clenched his fist, "It's actually this kid!"
Suddenly, he thought of something, turned around and asked, "Where is that kid now? If he really cured Yue'er, he should be very grateful."
"Right now he……"
But the couple had already reached the door of the mahogany loft.
The man opened the door and walked straight over, holding his head high, without any of the majestic and thunderous look before, "Yue'er! Look who's back!"
"Huh?" Then he was stunned.
Two people were sitting at the wooden table in the center of the room. The young man was explaining pathological instruments in a grand manner, while the girl was making tea and turning her head gently and affectionately. Only Lao Yang, who opened the door and entered at this moment, looked like an outsider.
The boys and girls looked at Lao Yang with a bit of embarrassment in their eyes.
"What's going on?" Yang Shi pointed at the two people and looked at his wife, "What's going on? The Yang family is so big, why is this guy in his daughter's room?"
After saying this, the man glared at the young man.
One of Yang Mansion's three special skills is Yang Shi's glare, which can make his legs and feet tremble with fear and he cannot stand still.
"Uncle Yang, Li Chengqi, you are so polite." The young man stood up and bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Yang Shi only felt dazzled, not because of how the boy in front of him was. After all, he, Lao Yang, naturally admired young people who were brave, courageous and capable. What made him dazzled was the look in his daughter's eyes, which was full of yearning.
Yang Shixin said: It's broken.
At this time, Mrs. Sun came out to smooth things over, which suddenly resolved the embarrassing and numb atmosphere in the room.
"Lao Yang, Yue'er's former playmate is now her savior. Besides, it's normal to be close and close after not seeing each other for such a long time. There's no need to get angry." After the beautiful woman finished speaking, she made a gesture towards her daughter.
With a wink, mother and daughter were of the same mind and immediately understood the meaning.
"Yes, dad!" The girl ran up and hugged the man's arm, shaking it constantly, "Brother Chengqi and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and now he has saved my life. If I treat others coldly again, the news will spread.
, isn’t it because our Yang family doesn’t have a tutor?”
Li Chengqi was of no use and could only stand there and smile bitterly.
I kept shouting in my heart: Ancestor, Ancestor, I agreed to come to him when this matter is done. Where is this person now? He didn’t even see a dragon’s tail?
"Okay, okay, you girl, it's time to have enough trouble." Yang Shi touched the girl's head and looked at Li Chengqi.
"You are young and promising!" The man praised without hesitation, "If you had been as skilled as you are now, I wouldn't have had to chop down that locust tree and chop down a good knife of mine."
"Dad!" The girl's face darkened.
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. Boy, come here to the meeting hall." Yang Shi did not indulge his daughter's coquettishness this time and said firmly.
When the girl saw Li Chengqi who was about to leave, she still had a little worry in her eyes. She was about to say something when she saw her mother shaking her head at her.
The backs of the two men gradually disappeared into the peach forest. One was past his prime and had gone through many vicissitudes of life. The girl could only see the strong and tall figures of the two figures, but Sun on the other side was a little confused. She had never noticed Li Chengqi before.
After the current head of the family came back, they walked side by side, and Sun was surprised to find that the young man's steps were thick and powerful. He was a man who had gone through hardships, and she could not misjudge him.
…………
In the meeting hall, Yang Shi sat at the head of the lobby and invited Li Chengqi to sit on the Taishi chair next to him.
This is the highest etiquette for entertaining guests in the Yang family.
Li Chengqi naturally knows.
"Sit down! Boy, you are qualified for this position." The man said solemnly.
When the two of them sat down, a servant brought tea. The aroma of tea overflowed, and the steam from the tea temporarily blocked their sight of each other.
At this time, the man said: "You are not a mortal."
Li Chengqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How did the head of the family see it?"
"Do you still need to watch? How much do you look down on me?" The man sneered. "The spiritual veins in your body are very stable, not as stable as those who have just embarked on the path of spiritual practice. Moreover, a few years ago I found a Juling Realm
A powerful monk is treating Yue'er, and he is helpless, but you can do something, a little monk who is only in the first stage of returning to heaven."
"Master, what do you mean?" Li Chengqi's eyes were sharp.
"I guess you've got a rare opportunity for a treasure in this world." The man said he was guessing, but his tone was affirmative.
"Looking at your expression, I'm probably right. Don't be surprised. You are already very stable for a young man, but in my eyes, you are still a young boy who can't hide your thoughts. In fact, your expression just now has nothing to do with it.
Change, after I finished speaking, the look in your eyes was not shock, but coldness. Why, were you thinking for a moment about the consequences and risks of letting me shut up forever? "
"I don't dare, kid."
"No, you dare!" the man said firmly. "But you don't have to worry. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I, Yang, have lived an upright life and disdain dirty things. You saved my little girl, and I, Yang Mansion... will definitely repay you! I
I called you to this meeting hall, naturally because of this matter, tell me, boy, what do you think of Yue'er?"
"What?" Li Chengqi was a little confused.
"It's just the two of us here. There's no need to pretend to be stupid. Can't you see Yue'er's feelings for you? I'm asking you, how is Yue'er?" An extremely terrifying sense of oppression came, making Li Chengqi unconscious.
Yang.
Emotional problems can be described as torture to extract confessions. This seems to be the special ability that fathers have.
"If you also like her, then choose a good and auspicious day to get married. By then, you will be the next head of the Yang family."
"My lord, this..."
"What? Could it be that you are already married?"
"That's not true."
"No? If not, what is there to worry about? Do you not like Yue'er, or do you think that my little girl is not worthy of your status as a monk? To be honest, Yue'er has spiritual veins, which are quite stable and strong. As long as you step on
After this illness, you can enter that spiritual path. Boy, don’t think that I have fallen in love with you by saying so much. It is Yue’er who has fallen in love with you. She likes it. I will also find a way to pick the stars and the moon for her.
Come down, let alone a little Huantian monk."
"Master of the family..."
"Why, you still want to shirk?"
Li Chengqi shook his head, "Master, do you know what Yue'er's illness is?"
Yang Shi's back unknowingly moved away from the chair.
"explain."
"Her body is extremely weak and her vitality is low. This is because there is an extremely terrifying force pressing on her body, or in other words, overwhelming on her spirit. She is overwhelmed, so she shows this disease. This is also what you spend on
The reason why no effective method can be found despite a huge amount of energy.”
"Continue." Yang Shi frowned, feeling something was wrong.
"Yue'er can dream, right? And most of the time, she has the same and distorted dreams." Li Chengqi continued, "Have you ever asked her what she was dreaming about?"
"I asked, but she couldn't answer. Even the descriptions were very poor. There were only red, blood, sand dunes, and a giant door to the sky, a giant bigger than the mountains. Other than that, she couldn't say anything.
.The process of recalling this was very painful, so I never asked again.”
"Has she... arrived at the Boundary Mountain?"
"What do you mean?" the man said in a deep voice. He defended this land and watched the boundary mountain. Ancient Nancheng, where the Yang Mansion is located, is the city standing to the south of the boundary mountain. For this endless mysterious mountain that divides the world
, the people of the world are full of awe and dare not violate the rules.
"You are the guardian of this place. I wonder if you have heard of a legend. The legend about the Boundary Mountain..."
"Enough!" the man shouted.
"You don't want to say that Yue'er is related to that legend, right?"
"Yes." Li Chengqi nodded.
"As you said, Yue'er's spiritual veins are extremely stable, which means that she was born with a good talent for cultivation. But why did such a good talent not feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when she was a child? In today's world, although spiritual energy is expensive and scarce
, but it does not exist. The reason is very simple. Her perception ability is too powerful. She has transcended the spiritual energy and felt the boundary mountain. This is a talent that even the most advanced practitioners cannot possess. "
"When she never reached the Dividing Mountain, her behavior was normal until one day, she successfully set foot on that land. Finally, the call came."
"In the girl's dream, that person is also sleeping." Li Chengqi said every word.
…………
In the mahogany attic, Mrs. Sun was braiding the girl's long hair.
This was the long-lost peace, there was no one else but mother and daughter.
The girl closed her eyes in enjoyment.
After a long time, she opened her eyes and looked around.
"Silly girl, are you still thinking about your accomplished brother?" the beautiful woman said with a smile.
The girl shook her head in confusion, "Mom, did you hear the sound of the flute?"
Sun raised her head and concentrated, but heard nothing except the chirping of birds and insects.
"Mom, didn't you hear it?" The girl was a little scared. This voice was very similar to the voice she heard in her dream when she was sick...so similar that she didn't dare to listen carefully at the moment. She was afraid, afraid of the hard-earned
The peace she had gained was taken away again. She shrank into her mother's arms.
"Child, what on earth did you hear?" Mrs. Sun also looked anxious.
"The sound of the flute, someone is playing that piece of music!" The music in her ears became clearer and clearer, and the girl shrank, "The thing in the dream... came to find me in reality..."
"Yue'er! Yue'er!" The call gradually faded away, and the girl's consciousness fell into the boundless darkness, falling all the time, with no beginning and no end.
Maybe... I'll never come back? She thought.
In the darkness, light shines.
Someone asked.
"Your name."
Suddenly, she replied, "My name..."
"My name is... Yang Lianyue... right? Is that the name?" There seems to be another name, but she can no longer remember it.
The feeling of her body hitting the ground woke her up.
She was speechless because in this scene, she couldn't speak at all.
Dusk rolled across the sky, and on the fire-like clouds, there were eight figures sitting cross-legged. These shadows, which were like morning stars, gathered together. She saw a cluster of golden flames under the dusk, and under the eight figures, a red dragon shadow twisted
Zoubaoxiao. A dragon that was completely different from the myths she often heard. His arms came from the void, holding a sharp sword. As he cruised, the blood on the sword fell like rain, and when it dropped to the ground, it looked like petals.
.
The sky vibrated, and the red dragon shadow lowered its head, with golden candles burning in its eyes.
The girl knew that this great creature was not looking at her.
He is looking down at the enemies.
Soon, she heard the sound of the flute again, and the music was clearer than ever before. She could even hum along with it. The golden flute was suspended in the sky, and words she couldn't understand rose and fell around it, being lit up and extinguished.
, until the tune is completed.
"Who are you?" she wanted to ask.
But when the sword slashed across her body, cutting the mountain she was standing on and the entire mountain into flat ground, she knew that the other party could not hear her voice.
On the ground, in the water, in the mountains, there are overwhelming pale shadows.
"Who are you!" she shouted with all her strength.
The twilight bloomed, the pale waves were reduced, and the red dragon shadow passed through without asking.
This time was different from her previous dreams. She didn't feel distorted or confused. Whenever the dragon lowered its head, she stared into those eyes, which actually brought her the weight and peace of mind like a father and brother.
"Who are you!" She shouted again. The scene at this moment was too magnificent. The earth screamed, the sky was torn, and the morning stars were dim because of this. Maybe this was the only way to make her feel her existence instead of illusion.
Then, she saw the eight figures at the end of the world walking out of the clouds. They looked down at all living beings and stretched out their palms.
Suddenly, the light quickly shrank back a little.
She woke up with a start, subconsciously stood up, and heard someone's scream. Her head hit the other person's chin.
It's Li Chengqi, with her father and mother beside her.
…………
Ancient Nancheng, main street.
A figure in mysterious clothes walked slowly past, holding a horizontal flute.
Wherever he walked, people fell in worship.
This melody seems to have a mysterious magic power that can heal the past in people's hearts. It seems that under this melody, many past regrets have become calm.
Li Xi'an stopped.
He looked at the flute in his hand.
This method is simply not feasible in the eyes of the world, because carrying the power of wishes requires Taoism, and those who can drive the power of wishes naturally have only the ancestors who created the Taoism. Creatures under the True One cannot create Dharma on their own, nor can they drive a person who can carry the power of wishes.
If he wants to shape a Dharma image with the help of his powerful Taoism, it may be easier to achieve true unity than what he is doing now.
After all, using the body of an emperor to control the Dharma is really shocking, even if he borrowed the name of an ancestor.
This was impossible to do when he was in Kyushu. Firstly, no one would regard him as Hengxiao Jin Ni. Secondly, Kyushu was too stable and powerful, and the more stable and powerful the realm, the easier it was to take advantage of the rules.
Difficulty. There is also the tombstone of Hengxiao Jinni in the Taihang Mountains. How can it be possible to use the name of Hengxiao Jinni to cast a dharma image on the land of Kyushu?
"It's still far from enough." Li Xi'an whispered.
That night, a few Yangshen realm monks and the wish power of a city only healed the cracks in the Dongxiao.
After all, it is still the ultimate palace state.
If he were at the true level, all he had to do was come, and the wishes of all the people in this world would be taken away by him. But now, he at least saw the shadow of his ancestors.
When Yang Shen entered the Ji Palace, Li Xi'an did not feel too many obstacles. But when he stood at the top of the imperial road and looked ahead, there was only chaos and darkness.
He needs to speed up the pace. The world of Tianguan will collapse and return to Kyushu. I am afraid that Kyushu will be in chaos at this moment. He is not worried that there will be creatures trying to plot Taihang while he is not in Taihang Mountain. They are not qualified. What's more, Buddha's Hand is in Taihang Mountain.
This is a Buddha. Even if she never takes it seriously, she is still a Buddha. The current Kyushu is probably just like the initial stage of recovery. The spirits compete for the delimited territory, and the disputes between the rising creatures are fighting, flesh and blood.
During this process, it was hard for Li Xi'an to imagine that those ancient monks hiding in the corner would quietly watch this feast.
"Huh?" Li Xi'an raised his head and looked at a corner of the city.
"That girl..."
"Which girl!" Someone tapped him on the shoulder, and he was holding a steamed bun that he got from somewhere. It was steaming, and he even handed one to Li Xi'an.
The two of them were nibbling on the buns and agreed that they tasted pretty good.
"I took a quick look and saw that everyone in this city is praying. Scarlet Dragon, it's rare for you to lie to people. This music has no other effect except to soothe people's hearts. You can't satisfy the petitioners like the real ancestors.
their wishes, but you still accepted their wishes, are you so anxious?"
"It also has a role in calming people's hearts," Li Xi'an said.
"There has been chaos and wars in recent times. Many people here are from other cities and have no choice but to go far away. They are satisfied with a good night's sleep. There are also people who like glory and wealth. Under this music, these people
They will understand something else. In short, I did not treat them badly in this transaction."
"But you are not the ancestor after all. Even if it is carried by a vessel, the vessel is still a part of you. The dragon's body may not be able to withstand the erosion of the wish power? What's more, the wish power of a Dharma-like image." After finishing the bun, the mole looked away.
Looking down, I saw Li Xi'an's arm.
It seems that it has been a long time since he showed his fully transformed hand, with fine scales undulating like red steel.
"I noticed that you have become verbose since you got here, like an old woman." Li Xi'an put away the flute and put his hands into his sleeves.
"Maybe it's because I know you better." Zhi rarely retorted without joking, his eyes were very calm, "Witnessing the collapse of a realm requires great courage and determination, and you have not only witnessed it,
It was the planner who had personal experience and shattered the Qingsuo world."
"Sometimes, your determination is really scary."
"Is that what you think? Are you worried that I will slowly go to extremes?"
"It's not impossible." Zhu shook his head. He actually didn't say a word. The moment he entered the Tianguan Realm, Chijiao was not affected at all, which meant that he had nothing to miss. But
Can a living creature really not become attached to some kind of existence in the world? Is it really still called a living creature?
A being who has no place to stay in the soul will slowly lose himself.
Suddenly, Mole shivered.
Slowly losing oneself, isn't this a kind of loss? And loss... comes from filth. There seemed to be some kind of clues stringing together in his heart, but when he went deeper to spread his thoughts, the clues that were finally connected
Scattered all over the ground again. But one thing is certain, no matter how strong the determination and strength, those who cannot see themselves will eventually fall.
"Let's go, I need to see that girl in person." The sound of the words woke him up.
He watched Xuanyi's figure go further and further away, but in the end, he chose to follow him.
