Since coming to the world of Gu Jian Qi Tan, Zhao Ling'er didn't know how many times she had thought about what she would say when meeting Gao Xu. But at this moment, when she really faced Gao Xu's reincarnation of the gods and demons - Prince Changqin, she was surprised.
Speechless, unable to utter a single word.
This was not stage fright when things were about to happen, but a feeling of something wrong lingering in her heart, which made Zhao Ling'er feel that the person in front of her was not the person she was looking for!
It’s really strange!
When Peng Ya showed the picture of the consort in white and Princess Xunfang, she recognized at a glance that the consort in white was the target she was looking for. It was not by appearance, but by a kind of aura induction and intuitive guidance. However, now
, this special feeling... is gone.
"Is it because I was too eager at that time, so I had an illusion?" Zhao Ling'er stared at the consort in white and looked carefully, with thoughts in her mind, but her steps were unconsciously moving back.
Although this person was gentle and gentle, and every word he said was like a spring breeze, Zhao Ling'er was keenly aware that deep in the heart of this white-clothed consort, there was a hysterical depression and distortion, which was hidden very deeply, perhaps temporarily.
It tends to be peaceful and safe, but one day it will completely explode and turn into a cruel, ruthless and extremely extreme existence!
"Girl? Girl?" The consort in white didn't know what was going on in Zhao Ling'er's mind. After calling her repeatedly, he waited patiently and silently. It wasn't until Zhao Ling'er came back to his senses that he slowly said, "Miss, maybe you are tired from the journey, Lei Yun."
The trauma Zhihai suffered has not recovered yet, so why not rest for a night and see you tomorrow!"
This was exactly what he wanted. Zhao Ling'er nodded hastily, gave a salute, then turned and left, leaving the consort in white sitting alone. He frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After a long time, the breeze blew, and a woman in a pink shirt slowly arrived. She came slowly, and the whole world seemed to brighten up. At least in the eyes of the consort in white, the water in the mountains gurgled down, and the flower trees bloomed.
Like clouds and mist, everything is inferior to the woman's charming smile. Not to mention the woman's simple greeting: "Husband, have you seen the two kindhearted people who rescued Peng Ya?"
"I've seen it." The consort in white nodded and smiled. He casually put aside the Chunyang Qin, which he usually regarded as a treasure, and gently hugged the woman's slender waist. He said softly, "Xunfang, when you see what's on the table,
Letter?"
"Hey, of course I saw it. We live in the same house and we left a letter to meet. Who do I think wrote the letter to me~~" The woman in the pink shirt, Princess Xunfang, the wife of the consort in white, pursed her lips.
His eyes were full of love, "The person who wrote the letter must be very good to me. He respects his parents and cares for his brothers and sisters. Everyone likes him. In my mind, there is no better or gentler person in the world than him."
Now, it’s really the happiest time in my life!”
"It's too early to say, we still have to be happy forever!" The two of them flirted with each other for a while, and finally returned to the topic. The consort in white, thinking about her doubts just now, murmured, "I don't know why, I
I don't feel familiar with this girl, but I feel that she is really here to find me..."
At this point, the consort in white stopped, and Xunfang raised her head and asked nervously: "Are you going to see him again?"
The consort in white was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "What? Is he so scary?"
"No, he is a very good person." Xunfang shook her head, frowning deeply, and said with a sad expression, "But...but I don't know why, every time I see him, I feel that one day you will
leave me……"
"Stop talking, don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen!" The consort in white interrupted immediately, stood up, a hint of gloom passed between his eyebrows, and comforted, "Sit here for a while, I'll
Come as soon as you go!”
After the words fell, the consort in white had already turned into a secret place behind the mountain in a few steps. He climbed up the stairs and soon came to a thatched house on the top of the mountain. He sat down naturally on a wooden table and picked up a copy.
He unrolled the bamboo scroll and read: "Being awake is suffering, but being attached is even more painful? It's not like you to be so self-pitying and sad!"
There was silence.
"It's not that I feel sorry for myself. These days, I'm thinking about what I've been chasing, what I've prayed for, and what I've been living for... Someone once said that the ending is just a memory forgotten in thousands of lives.
Repeat different back views, no matter how unusual power you are given, no matter how hard you try to break free from the shackles, you will eventually die of the seal of fate, with a stiff sense of sadness, everything will be a self-deception... What do you think?"
After a while, a clear voice sounded from inside the house. What he said made the consort in white look grim and speechless. He sighed and said: "A month ago, the dragon girl Qiluo sent a letter. Please ask her to go to the Tianyong Temple in Kunlun Mountain."
The city conveyed the message, but unfortunately it failed to do so. Since the sword-holding elder Ziyin passed through the third great tribulation, he has been in seclusion to understand the way of the immortals, and outsiders cannot see it!"
"Really? At the moment when the message was sent, I had already vaguely felt the result, but I was unwilling to do so in my heart! Humph, destiny cannot be violated... destiny cannot be violated..." The person in the room replied calmly, with a different tone in his tone.
Not much disappointment, just unconcealable fatigue.
This time, the consort in white was silent. He didn’t know how to answer the question. He wanted to tell Zhao Ling’er, but when the words came to his lips, he accidentally swallowed them and replaced them with a sentence of thanks: “You used the sword formation to kill Lei Yun.
The sea was pulled out to protect Penglai, I am very grateful, Xunfang and the others also feel much more at ease, they no longer have to be constantly wary of outside interference!"
"To put it seriously, without your unreserved support of spiritual power, no matter how exquisite my Taiyuan Sword Formation is, it will not be successful. Furthermore, my soul's independence is also dependent on the three heaven and earth spiritual objects you obtained. Among my generation,
People, please be happy with your grudges..." The person in the room paused mid-sentence, and then said in a slightly doubtful voice, "You are very different today. Has anything changed on the island?"
"Two women came to look for me. I don't recognize them. Is it related to you?!" The consort in white took the opportunity to tell the story about Zhao Linger and Le Wuyou. The people in the room thought about it and replied in a low voice.
"I'm afraid not. I have no relatives in this world, and no one will come to look for me. It's strange that you don't remember it. Don't forget the disadvantages of the soul-crossing technique! But there are no absolutes in the world. Now that they are here, I
I will take some free time to meet up. Logically speaking, there will be no outsiders coming to Penglai Country during this period, but...have you made any changes?"
The consort in white chewed the meaning of the words carefully. Although he could not fully understand it, he understood the decision of the people in the room. Considering Princess Xunfang's worries, he did not ask any more questions. After chatting for a few words, he was ready to leave.
Before leaving, he paused suddenly, thoughts swirling in his mind. Finally he couldn't help but said: "Although this question has been repeated many times, I still want to ask it again. Since the separation of my soul, I have asked him every time
Performing soul transfer techniques is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your soul will fly away. You have many, many opportunities to completely steal my soul. Why would you rather fall asleep most of the time and be awake only a few days a month than do that?
"
"Everyone has his own way. I am me, pure me, and I don't pretend to be anyone else. This is the answer! The eternal answer!!!" As soon as the consort in white asked this question, a mighty sword intent suddenly appeared.
It overflowed and spread from the house, whistling and rising. The mist in the mountains also hurriedly retreated, unable to give way, as if the sky, mountains and rivers were surrendering to this immeasurable momentum, like an abyss or a prison.
Witnessing this scene, beings like the Prince Consort in White couldn't help but show a hint of emotion. Then they thought of something, sighed, and walked down the mountain, leaving only the deafening majestic oath echoing between heaven and earth:
"I want to become an immortal, and I must rely on my own strength. No existence can change, force, or manipulate. Let those bullshit seizes the body, and bullshit gods and demons reincarnate to hell. I will never be an immortal. Tianzun, let's go.
Look!!!"

"Sister Ling'er, you said you found the wrong person? This is impossible... With your magic, there will be no sensing errors!" Zhao Ling'er returned to the room and shook Le Wuyou awake, while Le Wuyou said something
He was so soundly asleep that he didn't even know Zhao Ling'er woke up and went out. He was secretly surprised, and at the same time expressed that he couldn't accept Zhao Ling'er's answer.
If ordinary people still feel wrong, it is no longer possible for cultivators and even gods and other beings to behave like I saw it wrong, I felt wrong, especially since Zhao Ling'er is dedicated to searching for Gao Xu's whereabouts
, and there is no reason to admit mistakes casually.
"I'm also very confused. In Peng Ya's scroll, I clearly felt the aura of brother Gao Xu from that person, but when we met not long ago, he was a complete stranger..." Zhao Ling'er was not sure at first.
When Le Wuyou spoke, he became even more confused. He could only look at Le Wuyou pitifully, waiting for this smart and witty sister to make up his mind. The determination and majesty of the Sea of Thunder Clouds were gone~~
"Sister Ling'er, you have to believe in your feelings. We have come all the way to Penglai, and we can't be easily fooled by the other party!" Le Wuyou knew that Zhao Ling'er was confused if he cared, so he patted her palm and whispered,
"According to my speculation, there is a great chance that your brother Gao Xu will be completely subdued by the consort of Penglai Kingdom, or he will be directly imprisoned!"
"What!" Zhao Ling'er suddenly changed his color, and listened to Le Wuyou's analysis one by one, "Sister Ling'er, don't be anxious first, listen to me slowly. You lost your vitality in the sea of thunder clouds and fell asleep for three full days.
For three days and three nights, I didn’t know the specific situation of Penglai Kingdom, but I was treated as their guest. Not to mention Princess Xunfang and the Prince Consort in White, even the Lord of Penglai Kingdom had seen me, just to express my gratitude for rescuing Peng Ya!
When I first arrived, I felt that the atmosphere in Penglai Country was friendly and there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority. All citizens were like brothers and sisters, helping each other and like a family. It was truly a paradise. But gradually, I discovered that Penglai Country had many strange secrets.
——”
"First of all, many of them are secretive about the origins of their ancestors. I checked the classics in Taihua Mountain and learned that this kind of ethnic group with divine blood, long lifespan, and long-term seclusion is more or less related to the ancient gods.
It’s related to the Destiny Tribe. The Deity Destiny Tribe is the earliest group of human beings in the human world. They are powerful, comparable to immortals and gods, and far beyond the comparison of today’s ordinary people. This is an honor, why hide it?”
"Secondly, many buildings in Penglai Kingdom are newly built, and there are traces of Yanjia construction! They thought that I, a teenage girl, couldn't tell, huh, I have already learned half a dozen of my father's Yanjia skills.
8. These weird things are so clear-eyed that they are clearly placed in front of your eyes!"
"Finally, I observed carefully and cleverly tricked the words of several children. I found that they were not ignorant of the lanterns, temple fairs, and sideshows in China. Although they had not seen it with their own eyes, they had obviously heard about it. Just imagine a person who lives abroad.
I wonder if a fairyland that has existed for hundreds or thousands of years would know this?"
"Sister Wuyou, what do you mean..." Zhao Ling'er seemed to understand, but she obediently played her role as a listener and asked the question appropriately.
Le Wuyou nodded with satisfaction. With an extremely serious look on his face, he said every word: "I suspect that the residents of Penglai Kingdom are the survivors of the Lieshan tribe in Liuyue City, or, if not all, the survivors of the Lieshan tribe."
They must have sneaked in too!!!"
"Liuyuecheng, what is it?"
"Listen to me and tell me slowly. The Lieshan Tribe of Liuyue City is one of the ancient tribes of gods I just mentioned. It is said that in ancient times, due to the negligence of several immortal gods, the Tianzhu of Buzhou Mountain collapsed and the sky was cracked.
, the rain never stops. The floods are endless, the three realms are in turmoil, and the human realm is about to perish. The human emperor Shennong went to a place in the northwest where the sky was split, and based on the sacred tree Junmu, he built Liuyue City to guide the gods.
The Lieshan tribe was Shen Nong's religious tribe. They couldn't bear the loss of their lives and asked themselves to live in Liuyue City to help. Shen Nong felt his sincerity and happily agreed, sealing a drop of divine blood into the Junmu, so that the life force contained in it would radiate through the branches and leaves of the Junmu.
This is for the people of Lieshan tribe to live without water or food."
"Later, the Earthly Empress Nuwa patched up the sky with five-color stones, and the Emperor Fuxi took the divine sword Zhaoming and went to the East China Sea to kill the giant turtle. He used its feet to support the four poles, stopping the sky from falling, and finally curbing the catastrophe. However, after the disaster,
The turbid air in the human world is overflowing, and the people are dying of illness one after another. There is no longer any supernatural power in the past. On the contrary, Liuyue City is located high in the sky for nine days, and the turbid air is thin, so it is not affected. Shennong Minglieshan tribe temporarily lives in the city, waiting for him to find another suitable place to live!
"
"So, the Lieshan tribe is the hero of Butian?" Hearing this, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but ask. As a descendant of Nuwa, she was always the most concerned about Butian. When she was a child, she also liked to pester her grandma about it.
The legend of the great goddess Nuwa.
"That's right!" Le Wuyou was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded his chin reluctantly, and then said, "Who knew that the great god Shen Nong would never come back. With the passage of time, Zhu Mu is not as good as before. Emperor Fuxi
They also set up a barrier to seal off Liuyue City. It was extremely cold all year round, and there were few vegetation. All you could see were tall trees, white snowfields, and endless coldness. Finally, the turbid air gradually penetrated into Liuyue City, causing the city to become colder and colder.
People suffered from unknown diseases, and their bodies even began to rot, so they began to look for ways to go to the lower world!"
"How pitiful..." Zhao Ling'er felt sympathetic, but Le Wuyou sneered, "Every wrongdoing has its own owner, and every debtor has its owner. The first person to blame in Liuyuecheng is Shennong for not keeping his promise, and the second is Fuxi's closed relationship."
Realm, where can I place the heroes who mend the sky? The third one who collapsed Buzhou Mountain is considered unforgivable. No matter what, the harm will not affect the ordinary people and the residents of the human world, but the Lieshan tribe of Liuyue City is actually in the heart of the demon world.
Cooperating with the demons, they dropped demonized wooden branches into the human world, destroyed cities and towns, and caused countless casualties, all in order to infect the tribesmen with demonic energy and gain the ability to adapt to the turbid air and survive on the ground!"
The past events that Le Wuyou mentioned are the main plot of Ancient Sword II. The survival process of Lieshan tribe in Liuyue City runs through the entire plot, triggering countless joys and sorrows.
God's will is hard to resist and God's will is hard to disobey, which seems to be the eternal theme of the world of ancient swords. People are in it, struggling and trapped, and all the mechanisms are exhausted, but in the end they are unable to shake the torrent of fate, which is sad and lamentable.
However, in this process, everyone's every smile and every move was so warm and sincere, so at the end, even if the predetermined ending cannot be changed, I can still say that I have no regrets in this life, and I feel indescribably free and unrestrained!
The high-level priests of Liuyue City, headed by High Priest Shen Ye, are like this. According to the original plot, the last life of Prince Changqin is like Ouyang Shaogong, who is willing to do anything to change his life against the will of heaven. The protagonist of the plot of The Ancient Sword Generation, where is the heart?
Xiang, the same is true for Baili Tusu who has no fear and no regrets!
However, this kind of unspeakable charm cannot be experienced by those who have not experienced it personally, so Le Wuyou hated Liuyue City extremely.
She has reason to hate her mother Wen Renyu's master, her master Cheng Tingjun, who was killed by Liuyue City. She heard that the death of her father Le Wuyi's master Xie Yi was also closely related to Liuyue City, which can be described as a deep hatred.
!
The strange thing is that when their parents Le Wuyi and Wen Renyu mentioned Liuyue City, they never showed any intention of revenge. When the Lieshan tribe remnants moved to the lower realm, they even said kind words and dealt with them. This is really shocking.
Le Wuyou was very puzzled. A villain like Liuyuecheng, who regarded the common people as ants, had no sympathy at all!
"Liuyue City's immigration was successful. Decades ago, they moved to Longbing Island in the southeast. The various sects also agreed to let things go, huh, but there is nothing so cheap in the world. They have caused so many harms.
People, think that the culprit will be executed and the matter will be over with a few words of evasion."
Le Wuyou said this angrily, and Zhao Ling'er finally couldn't help but persuade him: "Sister Wuyou, when is the time to retaliate? The people of the Lieshan tribe are pitiful enough, let their ordinary tribesmen live well!"
"Well, I also know that it's none of those ordinary Lieshan tribe people's business, but... I'm very unwilling to do so!" Le Wuyou looked at Zhao Ling'er steadily, and after a moment he sighed dejectedly and said, "My father said
However, although all living beings are suffering, I hope they will not do any evil. Inflicting one's own misfortune on others is what I hate the most. Lieshan people are pitiful. Some people sympathize with those who died under the branches of the tree.
Who can sympathize with the living beings?"
Zhao Ling'er was speechless, Le Wuyou paused, and continued: "I was still young at that time, so of course I couldn't find trouble in Lieshan Department of Liuyue City. In fact, I had nowhere to look for it because Longbing Island was already there.
Just leave the building empty! The Lieshan tribe was able to adapt to the turbid air of the human world at the cost of being contaminated with demonic energy. It is equivalent to taking advantage of the highly adaptable characteristics of demonic energy, but is it easy to use demonic energy? According to reports
Uncle Yize said that even if the major sects tried their best to study and come up with solutions, the symptoms of the mutual repulsion of demonic energy and turbid energy among the people of Lieshan tribe were getting worse and worse, and they were about to see the tragic situation of Liuyue City above Nine Heavens happening again.
Unexpectedly, the entire tribe suddenly disappeared overnight!"
"Since all the sects are paying attention, they can disappear overnight...are there other people helping them move?" Hearing this, Zhao Ling'er frowned and made a guess.
Le Wuyou nodded and said: "Yes, according to the analysis of the major factions, the disappearance of the Lieshan tribe must be caused by another force. This force may be a human force, or it may be... the demon world! But in any case, since they have disappeared
, everyone’s search failed, and over time they gradually forgot about it. Now I am afraid that except for the person involved, not many cultivation disciples know what Liuyue City is!"
"Sister Ling'er, you now understand why I was so surprised when I heard that Peng Ya had divine blood in Bo Mai House before? I was thinking of Lieshan Department of Liuyue City, and various signs indicate that Penglai Kingdom and Penglai Kingdom have divine blood.
There are innumerable connections between the Lieshan tribe, maybe it’s my preconception, but anyway, I feel that the Penglai country has ulterior motives and is different from what it looks like, so we need to be extra vigilant, act cautiously, and never alert the snake…”
Le Wuyou took care of her a lot, and Zhao Ling'er, who knew the seriousness of the situation, nodded repeatedly. She was focused on rescuing Gao Xu at the moment, but she didn't care about the Lieshan Department too much. The two women secretly acted in Penglai Kingdom.
Unfortunately, several days passed and progress was extremely slow.
Le Wuyou was afraid of Penglai Kingdom's unpredictable strength and did not dare to act rashly. He was still in the testing stage. Zhao Ling'er's palace was not deep and he could not adapt to behaving in vain. The high-level officials of Penglai Kingdom such as the consort in white could not entertain guests every day. The two women
It’s strange that the progress can be made so quickly!
"Don't forget what you taught me...what did sister Qingyao teach me...how to get brother Gao Xu back?"
On this day, Zhao Ling'er, who was bored, was walking on the streets of the ancient Penglai Kingdom again, constantly thinking about every little moment of getting along with Qing Yao, until a brisk singing suddenly came into her ears, interrupting her thoughts, and she subconsciously muttered:
: "Who is singing?"
"Huh?" These five words turned into a ray of light and flashed through her heart. With the idea of giving it a try, Zhao Ling'er summoned her spiritual power and sang loudly:
"Who is singing, warming up the loneliness.
The white clouds are lingering, the blue sky is still the same, and the tears are drifting.
In that vast expanse, living alone,
Seeing the dazzling fireworks in heaven in the distance..."

In the hut on the top of the mountain, a figure in a green shirt suddenly pushed the door open, his eyes bursting with unspeakable surprise:
