Saying goodbye to the Qingyang County government office and taking off the Wu Jun Sword from behind, Cheng Yu felt inexplicably relaxed all over.
In fact, if we talk about it, how heavy can a mere sword be?
Just completing something that has been pending for a long time feels as free as if a burden has been removed from my heart.
He returned his soul to his place, spread his wings and flew towards the Longxiang River Ferry towards the rising sun.
After jumping over the gate tower of Qingyang County, I saw that the county gate had just opened less than half an hour ago.
At this time, they all closed their doors tightly again, and there were many more soldiers patrolling the city than when they came. They all looked solemn and stretched their heads to look in the direction where Cheng Yu came from.
Just now when he spread his wings and flew away from the county government office, he naturally heard the conversation between the young man and Zhuang and Yu, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't be overnight.
The news that Duan Yulou captured Zhu Qianzhuang spread to Qingyang County.
Leaving Qingyang County,
Continuing to fly forward, we passed by a group of buildings built at the foot of the mountain.
There is a stone archway at the intersection with the four characters "Qingyang Academy" written on it.
This place was Qingyang Academy, one of the four major academies in the Liang Dynasty. He had passed by it when he came here before, and the candidates who were going to take the exams had stayed here for a night.
But at this time, in the large community of tile-roofed houses that had been entered several times before and after, apart from a few wild birds occasionally chirping, there was only an old man sitting in the gatehouse, drowsy.
The bustling academy in the past is now empty.
Cheng Yu did not stop, spread his wings and continued to fly forward. In a blink of an eye, it was noon when the sun was shining high. He looked far away in the air and saw a dark river slowly unfolding in the distance ahead.
Long Xiangjiang.
……
"Wow! Wow!"
The turbulent river water, in waves, hit a huge rock on the shore of Jiangkou Town, and the waves splashed on the hem of a white fitted gown.
"Huh? What is this gentleman doing sitting on a rock? The river is very windy and the water is strong, and there are huge waves suddenly for some reason. The rock is very smooth, so you have to be careful to sit still."
A three-foot-old boy who looked six or seven years old was standing by the river.
He looked up at the young master in white shirt standing on the boulder and asked immaturely.
The man sat on the stone,
He rested his knees on his elbows, seemingly lazily, but there were faint strands of white light coming out from under the sleeves of his robe.
Cheng Yu, who was looking at the rough river and was slightly lost in thought, turned around and saw a group of children at his feet. He smiled slightly and said:
"It's okay, I'm just waiting here."
"Waiting for someone? This is not a busy place at the pier. It's noon and the sun is shining brightly. Who would come here?"
The child asked in confusion.
Cheng Yu looked towards an ancestral hall not far behind him. Upon seeing this, the child also looked back, but smiled at Cheng Yu:
"We just came out from playing in Jiangbo Temple. The ancestral hall is not as lively as before. Now except for temple blessings, there is no other pilgrim. Could it be that you have to wait for the old temple to hold blessings?"
Facing this talkative boy, Cheng Yu helplessly shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's noon now, why don't you go home for dinner?"
"I was playing in the ancestral hall and forgot the time. If I go back now, I'm afraid I will be beaten by my mother again.
Just..."
The boy mentioned this,
Suddenly, he found streaks of white light coming from under the sleeves of the man sitting on the boulder, and he was left speechless by waves of heart palpitations he had never experienced before.
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and flicked the Bujing sword under his body with his right hand in his sleeve. The boy on the bank suddenly felt much more relaxed. The child was confused and confused, and suddenly realized that the huge waves on the river were unknown.
When did it suddenly subside?
Then, I felt like there was someone standing behind me. The child turned around and looked, and saw a man with black beard and black robe far behind him.
With the scorching sun above his head, he put up an awning and looked at the man in black. His intuition felt strange. This man was clearly far away from him, but he always felt as if he was right behind him.
And the other person looks more and more familiar, but I can't remember where I met him.
The man in black robe rushed to the boulder in a few hurried steps. Just as he was about to kneel down, his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly stopped kneeling.
"Chi!"
An invisible sword energy lightly crossed the ground in front of him. The man in black robe raised his eyes and looked at the boulder, just in time to see Cheng Yu shaking his head gently.
The man in black robe glanced at the ignorant boy next to him, and suddenly realized it. He didn't dare to act rashly anymore, and just stood with his head bowed and respectfully.
Cheng Yu secretly pressed the Silent Sword back under the sleeves of his robe, glanced at the man in black robe below his feet, and paused briefly at his neck.
The original horrific wound of flesh and blood had healed, but it left a scar as long as a palm.
Well, this black guy is indeed almost recovered.
I still remember that when I was crossing the river just now, Cheng Yufei suddenly felt something in his heart. He used water magic to disperse his consciousness and sensed that there was a huge black dragon lying on the bottom of the sinking river. It was stuck in the mud and motionless, as if it was a suspended animation.
Appearance.
After flying over the Longxiang River, he folded his wings and landed on an old locust tree next to Jiangkou Town. Seeing the Jiang Bo Temple not far away, he summoned his soul and instantly felt the jade on his waist.
Between the gourd, Jiangbo Temple and the black dragon at the bottom of the river, the three seem to be interacting with each other.
He took off the sapphire gourd from his waist and pulled out the jade stopper, only to see that the little black dragon soul that always coiled up in a ball in the past was now swimming in circles in the wine with some anxiety. p>
Seeing Cheng Yu pull out the jade stopper, the black dragon hurriedly placed it respectfully, raised his head and said hoarsely to Cheng Yu:
"Liu Hedong pays homage to the Master. I haven't seen you for a while, but you are getting more energetic... huh?"
Before the black dragon soul had finished flattering him, his heart suddenly tightened. At the same time, Cheng Yu also felt a sudden tightening in his wrist. It turned out that the sword on his wrist suddenly came to life, as if it was spiritual.
Lift the sword and bring it to the mouth of the jade gourd.
The little black dragon soul raised his head and saw a bright silver sword tip suddenly flashing out of the gourd's mouth, and a bit of cold sword energy emerged from it.
Originally soaked in the wine, it felt quite comfortable. Suddenly, it felt cold all over its body. The flattery stopped abruptly in the middle of patting it, and it couldn't stop shivering all over.
The Bujian sword seemed to have eyes. When he saw a small black dragon soul inside, he became interested. His whole body trembled and he lightly knocked on the outer wall of the jade gourd. It was like a dog asking for a toy from its owner.

When Cheng Yu saw that Bu Jian was acting like a coquettish fool again, he immediately pulled it open with a smile and pressed it behind his wrist. Only then did Bu Jian calm down.
Looking back, the black dragon in the jade gourd was already trembling at the bottom, causing ripples on the surface of the wine. Seeing that Cheng Yu had suppressed the strange sword that scraped the soul and bones, the black dragon knew it.
At this time, there should be nothing serious. The swimmer hurriedly came up, nodded and bowed:
"Thank you, Master."
Cheng Yu used his spiritual consciousness to sense that the severe injuries suffered by the black dragon soul seemed to have healed at this time. It seemed that the general's drunken nourishment and soul protection had indeed a miraculous effect.
No wonder the dragon soul and its true form at the bottom of the river just now reacted to the golden body in the ancestral hall.
"Come out."
Cheng Yu said to the inside of the jade gourd.
I still remember that time I met the black dragon on the river bank. With the help of General Zui in the gourd, he calmed down the huge river tide caused by the black dragon in three steps and suppressed the black dragon.
Little did he know that at that time, he had already exhausted his spiritual power and was just trying to hold on. Fortunately, the black dragon recognized the wrong person at that time. As soon as he landed on the shore, he fell down and worshiped him, calling him master.
At that time, Cheng Yu didn't dare to make excuses at all, so he had to hold on to his master's dignity, reluctantly agree to it, and then introduce it into the jade gourd to trap him.
It's not just fate, but the black dragon turned out to be a blessing in disguise after being detained. He soaked in the general's drunkenness day by day, and he was able to recover from severe injuries such as Lei Jie. I guess his life should not have been cut off.
Seeing Cheng Yu ordering it to come out, the black dragon soul did not dare to disobey. Finally, it swirled around in the wine with nostalgia, and then flew out of the gourd mouth, turning into a gust of black wind in the air. After a few circles, a black robe appeared.
person.
"Disciple pays homage to Master."
The black dragon soul transformed into a human form and knelt on the ground to salute Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu looked down at Liu Hedong at his feet, and suddenly remembered that he had said before that a demon subduing barrier had been placed in the mountain temple, and he was supposed to let him stand up and speak.
He suddenly changed his mind:
"Think about the time when you secretly set up a demon barrier in the Qingluozhuang Mountain Temple. Do you know your sin?"
The black dragon soul froze, and his heart pounded. He was frightened that the master knew about the barrier he had secretly set up, and he was even more hesitant about how to respond.
Suddenly, a violent heart palpitation came from above. The black dragon did not dare to think about it anymore and immediately crawled in the tunnel:
"I know my mistake. I originally didn't want to use the barrier spell taught by my master. However, the thief salamander also had a falcon demon as his helper. He repeatedly came to harass me while I was converting the elixir. I had no choice but to boldly set up the barrier. I will never do it again in the future.
If you do it, please ask Master to forgive all the disciples’ sins.”
Cheng Yu nodded slightly when he heard this, and then pressed the pointed tip of the sword back behind him.
It turns out that "I" taught him the magic of the demon-subduing barrier. Wouldn't it be better if I could also set it up?
Wait!
When I flew into the mountain temple in my true form as a sparrow, I was not affected by the barrier at all. I had always thought that it was because the sparrow had no evil aura in its true form. But when I heard what he said, it was "I" who
Biography, could it be...
Is "I" really me?
Then who is "I"...
As his thoughts whirled, Cheng Yu temporarily put aside the battle between heaven and man, and decided to see how the barrier was laid out first.
"Well, I think that although the barrier you set up blocked the falcon demon, it failed to stop the sparrow. It can be seen that the heat of your barrier is not yet home. Let's do it this way. There is nothing going on at the moment, and there is no one nearby.
If anyone is there, please come over and let me take a look."
Cheng Yu said seemingly casually.
"This..."
The black dragon showed a confused expression.
"Huh?"
Cheng Yu softly said "Hmm", and the black dragon soul immediately trembled and said hurriedly:
"The disciple dare not show off in front of the master, but he also knows that the master intends to test the disciple. However, for the disciple, setting up the barrier consumes a lot of spiritual power. The disciple cannot use it with only the dragon soul, and he also needs the soul.
Return to your true nature, and then gather the golden body's vow power in the ancestral hall, and then you can display it."
Cheng Yu nodded and waved gently at him. Seeing this, the black dragon soul respectfully stepped back and submerged into the river.
