After dark, Jimo's Lantern Festival begins. It's a clear night, with only a few clouds in the sky, half soaked in the silver moonlight and half hidden in shadow.
Yuntianhe and his party stood at the height of the back mountain and looked down. The villagers of Jimo lit lanterns and slid them into the water. The clear waves floating at night shook the lights, and thousands of bright flowers bloomed on the water. The stars in the sky were eternal.
moonlight
Reflected on the waves, the sea surface is like silver foil, the wind blows and the shadows of time tremble. Those lanterns are clustered together, like many sailing boats, quietly sailing into the depths of the sea, drifting towards the boundary of the sky, and will eventually be extinguished.
halfway.
The night market in Jimo has also come to a lively time. Every household is lighting up candles, and the old people gather together to sing old songs and tell stories about the sea god, the fisherman and the damsel in distress. Young men and women are chatting tenderly.
The tokens of love exchanged in the sea breeze were mostly beautiful shellfish. The men took their children to light firecrackers, and the sound of crackling and peeling was intertwined with the fleeting fireworks in the night sky, which continued intermittently for an hour and a half.
Han Lingsha said: "I really want to go put out lanterns with them." But the lanterns were made in advance.
Yun Tianhe stretched out his hand and suddenly held up a lantern in his empty palm. There were many lotus petals layered on top of each other, with a translucent texture like glass. A warm candlelight lit up at the stamens, and the whole flower was filled with flowers.
translucent.
The savage blushed and handed the lantern to Han Lingsha. The female snitch looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Then she took the lantern, held it in her hands, and blew on it, causing the lotus made of sword energy to fly lightly.
, fell all the way to the sea, and followed the traces of many lanterns to the far side of the sea.
Liu Mengli watched from the side, lowering her eyelids, but said nothing. Murong Ziying only glanced at it and continued to watch the lanterns.
There is wine tonight, and banquets are set up on the streets. Jimo is famous for its peanuts, prawns and fermented wine. Originally, the best goods every year were reserved for the Fox Fairy. This year, the Fox Fairy was beaten away, so naturally they can be used to entertain them.
Guests, Yuntianhe and his party of four
He is Jimo's benefactor, and he drinks for free. Every time a barbarian passes a table, he is dragged to drink two bowls. He likes this kind of activity, and is very popular everywhere except Taiping Village. They say that glutinous rice wine is not intoxicating, but
If you drink too much, you will become dizzy.
Yuntianhe was dazed and drunk, so he ran to the coast and recited poems, such as "All the sages in ancient times were lonely, only the drinkers left their names." He also made up a few sentences casually, such as "The light of the flowers shines brightly on the fishing tower, and the moon shines brightly on it."
He is a drunkard through and through."
Han Lingsha followed him, and the savage walked towards the sea.
After cultivating the Immortal Sword, the six realms are at my disposal. Gold, stone, earth and wood collide with each other, and seas, mountains, and the sky come and go. This world is very big, and many dangerous obstacles are like chasms and chasms for mortals. For him, he can be intoxicated everywhere, flooded without suffocation, and burned by fire.
It does not burn, it does not hurt when cut with a knife, it does not get cold due to frost, it carries the Five Mountains across the four seas, it is like walking in a garden and flying with birds.
The fish and the ducks are just waiting. The Yuntian River walks along the tide, singing and dancing. People are coming to the shore. I see the man in white swallowing three kilograms of sword energy. The singing actually makes the floating clouds stop, and the red gold sword pill in the man's palm shines brightly.
, like the scorching sun falling into the sea, the East China Sea suddenly became clear and translucent, with shining golden light, and the world under the sea was actually clearly visible.
The old people in Jimo said, "When the light is bright, it will attract gods."
In the vast East China Sea, countless fairies and ghosts are attracted by this light. The giant ships of the former dynasty rising from the bottom of the sea, the water ghosts transformed from the souls of the ancestors after their death drove the carriages and beat gongs and drums forward, and the fishermen worshiped
Poseidon and the Conch Queen
, the back of the mirage floated on the horizon, and there was a lot of mist, and the mountainous dorsal fin was extremely sharp, dancing with thunder. The moon in the sky became brighter, the stars were twinkling, and the gods in the gods were paying attention to the drunken dance of the Sword Immortal of the East China Sea.
People at the seaside knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly. There was no Fox Fairy, but they still knelt down and worshiped the Sword Fairy.
Han Lingsha frowned and looked at the people around her, then looked at the Yuntian River on the sea. She couldn't help but have a headache and said: "We can't let this fool drink again in the future!"
Murong Ziying was slightly surprised, "It is said that Gongsun's dance moved all directions. Now Taoist Fellow Yun's sword dance has attracted all kinds of spirits to come to court, making him famous in the six realms."
Liu Mengli smiled and said, "Master Yun should be a man in heaven. He must establish a legacy that will last forever. People in the future will remember his contribution."
The immortal danced his sword endlessly, and the goddess set up hundreds of jade stones, clams, colored glazes, and basalts on the sea, which looked like hundreds of rocks rising from the sea. These treasures of different shapes were covered with moonlight, imprinting the shadow of the immortal dancing his sword.
Come down, later this place will become
A Thousand Sword Islands, people from all over the world who practice martial arts and Taoism come here to visit the Jade Bibi by boat. If they study it carefully, they can often learn many amazing swordsmanship. There are even rumors that they learned the legendary Chunyang Swordsmanship here.
Cultivation into an immortal body and flying to the divine world.
Yun Tianhe took advantage of the drunkenness to dance with his sword. When the drunkenness subsided, he naturally rested. He staggered and fell down. The conch girls carefully brought the shark crotch brocade quilt, caught the sword fairy, and placed it on the tortoise shell
On the cloud bed, a whale bone boat was carried and drifted to the beach.
Han Lingsha sighed and went to fetch the savage back. The moonlight in the sky dimmed, the mirage in the distance disappeared, the sea fog disappeared without a trace, the warships on the sea, the colony of snail queens and water ghosts also disappeared.
Everything is like a dream, for Yuntianhe, he just dances the sword as usual, leaving hundreds of swords and immortal jade stones on the sea is as meaningless to him as the broken poems after drunkenness.
meaning
Thinking about it, this is when Yun Jianxian became famous. The world likes to see magic. Since he is a sword immortal, everyone thinks he should look like a god. They would rather believe that the shadow of the sword left on the screen wall hides the secret of becoming an immortal.
Secrets, instead of believing in the secret books that are available for free on the street. Only from these half-understood images can they find evidence that they are unique swordsmanship talents.
The few Jianghu people who spent a thousand silver to buy the book rushed into the sea with joy early the next morning and lingered. In the next thirty years, Jimo will become a treasured place for martial arts to fight for. In order to occupy the Sword Immortal Screen Wall
The fight spawned many stories of conspiracy, swords, bloodshed and poison. When they attacked the villagers, a dozen young men came out from Jimo, wielding harpoons and wooden swords, and beat the heads of the pretentious charlatans.
Broken blood flow.
Early the next morning, Yuntianhe woke up from his sleep, stretched himself out and sat up. The sound of the sea outside the inn was very refreshing. When he went out, his companions were all having tea in the lobby. A table of good food and dishes was set up. The shopkeeper's
There were no other guests to keep him company. Han Lingsha invited him to sit down. Seeing that he was careless, she asked him, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
"Ah? Did I get into trouble?"
Han Lingsha said angrily, "Yes, we can't stay in Jimo any longer just because of you!"
Yun Tianhe shrank his neck and said, "Then let's run away quickly."
Liu Mengli covered her lips and smiled, while Murong Ziying also hesitated to speak. Scholar Xia also smiled and said nothing, but Xiao Lianbao pointed at Yun Tianhe and shouted: "I like it."
Yuntianhe quickly filled his stomach, stood up, patted his butt and said, "I'm full! I'm full! You can run away!"
Han Lingsha wanted to pay the bill, but the shopkeeper refused to accept it no matter what, so the female snitch took out a secret book of the Divine Sword Sect as a meal.
When a group of people went out, the people in Jimo outside the inn knelt down one after another. Yun Tianhe was startled, "What's going on? What's going on?" He asked Han Lingsha confusedly, "Did I get drunk and hit someone last night?
Already?"
Han Lingsha sighed and tugged on his ears, "You're not allowed to drink anymore, did you know that?"
Liu Mengli plucked the strings gently and said loudly: "Fellow folks, please stand up. We are not gods, nor are we emperors. Don't kneel down and worship us."
The sound of the piano was solemn, and everyone stood up in obedience. This group of people looked at each other and were at a loss.
Liu Mengli continued to explain, "We are cultivators. After all, we are just passers-by. We will not stay like the fox fairies to cause trouble. You can rest assured. After today, we will leave. We may not see each other again in the future, so please
Please live well."
"Benefactor, we can't bear to leave you!"
The villagers in Jimo made various appeals.
Han Lingsha said loudly: "You don't have to miss us. We have left a legacy and practice well. As long as you become stronger, whether it is fishing at sea, hunting in the mountains, or farming and weaving, it will become easier. As long as you become stronger,
If we unite, we will no longer be bullied by monsters like fox fairies, nor will we be bullied by the emperor's officials."
These words greatly encouraged the villagers, and their expressions became much lighter.
Yuntianhe and his party were about to leave, and the children who had learned swordsmanship and internal skills ran over, reluctantly holding drinks, dried fruits and catches. They said that they would protect the villagers in the future, protect more people from being bullied, and be
A great hero and hero like Yun Tianhe. Now these children are still immature, but in the future they will rule the world.
After repeatedly thanking them, but unable to resist them, everyone in Shenjian Sect still accepted the gift from the villagers. Yun Tianhe let out a shout, turned into a sword rainbow, swept his companions up into the sky, and quickly disappeared into the sky like a star.
The six people on this trip landed in the Han Family Valley. When the Han family's little boy saw Murong Ziying and Xia Yuanchen, he shouted again: "Sister Lingsha is back! This time we have brought back two handsome men!"
"Stop, you brat!"
This group of kids practiced Kung Fu very diligently, their strength was not what it used to be, and they ran extremely fast. They could run from the entrance of the village to the ancestral hall in a flash. Unfortunately, they were not as good at Kung Fu as the female devil Han Lingsha, and they were easily picked up by their ears again.
stand up.
The Xia family's father and daughter settled in Hanjia Village. Scholar Xia was a mountain god and lived a long time. He had many skills that he could teach the villagers. He heard that Han Lingsha had the legendary earth spirit bead in his hand, so he borrowed it.
Here, he used the power of the spirit beads to cultivate the soil and cultivate the fields, drive through the mountains to find veins, and opened up the Hanjia Valley.
Thousands of acres of fertile land with excellent soil can be planted with a little fertilization. According to him, the five spirit beads between heaven and earth have the ability to turn decay into miraculous things. According to legend, they were transformed by the spiritual energy in the body of Pangu, the founder of the sky. The flow is ancient.
It has been wandering in the rivers and lakes all year round without a trace. It is a strange thing born according to destiny.
Xia Shusheng brought the magic inheritance to the Divine Sword Sect, and now it is more like a sect that cultivates immortals.
Because the population of Hanjia Village is too small to cultivate the many fields, the elders of the clan have ordered the young men to go out to find good family members who are living outside and bring them back to the village to recuperate. Although it is a peaceful time, there are still homeless people who have no home.
It is also a good deed to give them a place to stay.
Now that they have obtained the Guang Ji Han Map, Yuntianhe and the other two set out again on the road to find the Three Cold Artifacts.
According to Elder Qingyang, the second Kun Scale is in the area of Chaohu Lake, but Chaohu Lake is not far from Shouyang. It happened that Liu Mengli had been away from home for several months and missed her parents quite a bit. This time she went to stay at Liu Mansion in Shouyang first.
After you have rested enough, go to Chaohu Lake to look for Kunlin.
When he met Liu Shifeng again, the old county magistrate's face was red, but his brow was frowning. It seemed that he had been eating well and in good health recently, but he was troubled.
When he saw Yun Tianhe, his eyebrows blossomed with joy, "My dear nephew! I'm finally back. I heard that a swordsman appeared in Chenzhou. At that time, I didn't think it was you, but it turned out to be you." He patted Yun.
Tianhe's hand, "How do you and Li'er get along?"
The savage nodded, "Mengli is very kind to me."
Liu Shifeng just thought that they were young people inseparable, and he was immediately relieved, "Okay, that's good." He went to hold his daughter's hand again, "Good Lier, my little sweetheart, you are finally back, you go
That day, the peach blossoms in the backyard
Thank you all. This morning, the girl in Luzhu said happily that the peach blossoms were blooming again. I knew it was you who wanted to come back. Flowers have spirits. I’m here to stay for a few more days. You see, it’s best to treat you
Let’s arrange the marriage with nephew Yun Xian.”
However, the old lady Ruan Ci was alert and persuaded Liu Shifeng to come back. She had already seen Han Lingsha and Yun Tianhe following each other closely. Although they did not make eye contact, the daughter's eyes never left her husband for a moment.
Even the savages always looked back at her, and it didn't take much to know that the two of them had made a lifelong pact.
"Master, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we go back. The children have been working hard on their journey, so please go inside and sit down. Tianhe, I have asked someone to prepare your favorite snacks. It's still early for lunch now. You can eat some snacks first and wait.
I’ll also talk to your Uncle Liu later.”
Everyone entered the room and took their seats. Liu Shifeng exchanged a few words of greetings and then talked about a recent worry.
It turns out that fishermen living in the Chao Lake area have recently come to ask for help, saying that for some reason there were many large whirlpools on the lake, causing the fishermen's boats to capsize. Many people did not survive, and the remaining residents did not dare to go fishing anymore.
, but life became difficult, so they asked the county to suspend various taxes, and also asked them to send officials to investigate the irregularities in Chaohu Lake.
"Chaohu has always been calm and peaceful, but now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid there are monsters causing trouble." Liu Shifeng hesitated, "My dear nephew, you are very capable, can you go to Chaohu to investigate?"
Yuntianhe scratched his head, "We happen to be going to Chaohu."
Everyone was so happy that Liu Shifeng brought up the old conversation again and wanted to arrange a marriage. Liu Mengli and the old lady chatted away the topic and changed the subject until it was time for dinner. After the meal, everyone dispersed to rest.
Han Lingsha called out the savage, and the two were walking casually on the streets of Shouyang. The female snitch suddenly asked him, "Do you like Liu Mengli?"
Yun Tianhe nodded, "I like it." His cheerful look was very harmless.
Han Lingsha's fists stiffened, "How do you like me? Do you like Master Liu, or... do you like me?"
The savage was a little confused, "Are there many kinds of likes?"
"Of course! Some likes are just likes. People like cats and dogs, like friends they have only met a few times. Some likes are like parents, brothers, close friends, and some likes are...
…It’s what boys like about girls.”
Yun Tianhe suddenly realized, "Oh, then we are the third type of crush. I am a boy, and you and Mengli are girls. It is true that I like you!"
Han Lingsha was furious, "Are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused?"
The savage didn't know that we had made her angry, so she was speechless.
The female snitch gently tugged at his nose and said, "You heard what Mr. Liu just said. He is very anxious to make you his uncle."
Yun Tianhe nodded, "Well, Uncle Liu and the people in Hanjia Village all want me to be my uncle."
Han Lingsha's cheeks turned red, "Don't interrupt, just listen to me." She smoothed the wrinkles on Yuntianhe's collar and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, Mengli likes you. If Master Liu wants to
If she marries you, she will not refuse. I have no objection to this marriage, but if she and I both marry
If you say so, many things will be very difficult. Once we get married and have rules, we will no longer be able to be as free as we are now, talking and chatting happily every day. We are supposed to be practicing people, and we don’t need to be attached to the chores of the world.
I think it would be great if we stayed together for the rest of our lives."
Yun Tianhe nodded and said yes, "I don't like rules."
"Well, if someone asks you to be my uncle in the future, do you know what to say?"
He waved his hand and said, "I just said no."
"Don't say that, idiot. If you say that a good man has his ambitions in all directions, he won't have any thoughts of starting a family for a while."
"trouble."
"Let's just say that when you become famous and become a big shot, no one will ask you again."
Everyone rested for the night in Liu Mansion and went to Chao Lake early the next morning. There were dozens of fishermen's boats parked by the lake. Yuntianhe pressed his sword light and heard someone calling in the long grass. He followed the sound and found a man.
The fisherman was rescuing the unconscious man on the ground, but he didn't know any medical methods and was just pushing him gently.
Liu Mengli took action to cure the unconscious man and listened to his story. He was rowing a boat to Bailingzhou in the lake, but was accidentally caught in the whirlpool and encountered many scary-looking monsters in the water. After a struggle, he fell into a coma.
He passed by and then appeared on the shore.
Han Lingsha remembered, "It is said that there was a small country by Chao Lake. Because it offended the gods, the whole country was sunk to the bottom of the lake. It seems to have happened during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Hey, do you still remember those Sophora demons in Nuluoyan? They said
Where did you go to seek refuge in the past?”
Yun Tianhe recalled it, "It seems to be called Ju, Chao, Guo?"
"That's it! Juchao was a small country by the Chao Lake in the past. Such monuments have aged for a long time and have sunk in deep water. They can easily become a place where monsters are entrenched. It seems that Juchao is already a paradise for monsters. We are here
I went there this time, and I was able to visit those Sophora Demons by the way, but I don’t know how they are doing.”
Everyone then set off, and the sword rainbow flew over the lake, looking for a whirlpool to dive into the water. All the way down, at the bottom of the dark lake, there was a light. Many buildings could be seen in the distance, with extremely ancient shapes, and there were even ghosts walking around.
It is an underwater demon kingdom. Yuntianhe pressed his sword light on a platform in the water, and the four figures appeared. Liu Mengli gently plucked the strings and cast a water-avoiding spell, allowing everyone to breathe freely underwater.
Murong Ziying was extremely reluctant to step into this place. Qionghua disciples had always hated monsters. Liu Mengli advised him softly, "Humans and monsters can live in peace, so why do they have to use swords against each other? People have a sense of equality, and so do monsters.
With an equitable mind, we would rather think about good than think about evil. Since we are already here, let’s see if it’s okay.”
"Demons are demons, and they only harm people. I have been killing demons for many years, so how can I not know their true nature? The fishermen here are also suffering from them. It is better to eliminate them all in order to restore peace."
Han Lingsha urged again, "You also swore at Nuluoyan that you would never kill monsters without asking right from wrong. Do you still remember these words?"
The Qionghua disciple looked at her, and the female snitch tilted her head towards him, as if she was accommodating or scrutinizing him. Her eyes were very mysterious. Murong Ziying wanted to say something more, but in the end she just nodded.
In Juchao Kingdom, the demons live very comfortably. Because they have saved the Sophora demon clan, everyone is very friendly. Except for Murong Ziying, he doesn't like all the demons, and all the demons don't like him.
Yun Tianhe and his party received courteous treatment. After hearing their intention, the elders of Juchao Kingdom gave Kun Scale to them. However, because of Murong Ziying, they could not stay here long. Liu Mengli asked about the whirlpool on Chao Lake, and the elder answered:
It is similar to the tide, because there is a huge island flying over Chao Lake, which causes the earth's air to turbulence and generates whirlpools. Once the island flies over, the sea will be calm.
Everything was completed smoothly, but Yun Tianhe suddenly had a whim and planned to see the giant island flying over Chao Lake.
He said with a smile, "If I can, if I push it harder, maybe it can fly over earlier and Chaohu Lake can calm down earlier."
No one among his companions doubted his ability, but the monsters from the Juchao Kingdom bet that he could not do it. They also said that if he could really push away the island in the sky, then everyone would recognize Yun Tianhe as an elder and have some influence on the monster clan of the Juchao Kingdom.
The power of leadership.
Yun Tianhe and his companions soared upwards and saw hundreds of immortal buildings floating in the sky thousands of miles away. Han Lingsha said that this place was the Tomb of the Gods. The ancestors of the Han family once entered it to hunt for treasures. Since they were here, there was no harm in going in and taking a look.
"This divine mausoleum is floating in the sky. My great-grandfather did not know how to get here back then. After he returned, he became taciturn and confused. He only mentioned this place in a few words, and
That treasure, I want to bring it this time so that I can comfort my great-grandfather."
Murong Ziying suspected that there were gods stationed here, and he was afraid that the consequences would be bad if he broke in rashly. However, Yun Tianhe was obedient and walked into the Fengshen Mausoleum as he was told. When he left, everyone had no choice but to follow him.
Following the robber cave left by the ancestors of the Han family, there were also heavenly weapons and auspicious beasts patrolling along the way. Yun Tianhe let out a roar. Seeing that they were not retreating, he gave each of them a sword to seal their meridians, making them unable to move.
No harm to human life.
Walking all the way to the depths of the sacred mausoleum, they saw a sun-shooting bow enshrined on a high platform. Han Lingsha took it down, and suddenly a blue-purple thunder struck in the sky. If Yun Tianhe hadn't protected her in time, the female snitch would have eaten her.
What a pain.
The person guarding the divine bow appeared, with the head of a human and the body of a bird, with wings on his back, a crown on his head, and two dragons on his feet, but it was the divine general Gou Mang. Gou Mang, a descendant of the Shaohao family, named Zhong, the emperor of Zuo Mu De,
He died as the god of wood officials.
"Sinner, you still haven't put down Hou Yi's sun bow!"
Yun Tianhe noticed that this god was full of murderous intent, and had previously launched a sneak attack on Han Lingsha. He was furious and shouted: "You bad guy!" The sword ball in his palm jumped sharply, and in an instant, the sword energy was like rain, filling all directions, like a surging tide.
