This is the first day that everything in the world of immortality becomes uncontrollable and goes crazy.
Yan Ji'an thought that he did not waste or delay too much time this time. He even did something unlike him. He did not pursue why some Yuntian Sect disciples exploded when they broke through the small stage of the Qi refining period. He didn't pay close attention to the strange speech made by the disciple named Ruan Zhu before his death.
Almost as soon as he got the news, Yunshang Immortal Lord took his sword to Taohua Ridge, so he couldn't figure out why someone could be faster than him——
When Yan Ji'an arrived, the ban on Taohualing was lifted.
The person he was looking for was sitting under the peach tree in front of the cave. A man in a dark suit sat opposite her, holding up an unclean handkerchief and holding her hand. He carefully wiped the blood on her hands with one finger.
Because I didn't know the Cleansing Charm or the Clear Water Charm, I put a basin next to me to clean the handkerchief. The water in the basin was already a little turbid.
When Yan Ji'an landed at the highest point of Chiri Peak, he happened to hear the man's somewhat lowered voice——
"Close your eyes first, there are them on your eyelashes too."
Nan Fuguang felt as if someone had taken away her spirit. She closed her eyes numbly at every command and moved closer. The tip of her nose twitched and she subconsciously hid back.
The butcher's calloused fingers caught her cheek and said softly, "Don't move." The rust-colored handkerchief, which had been stained for a long time and could not be cleaned, wiped away the dried and clumped flakes on her eyelashes with some force. All the blood remains.
Yan Ji'an stood there and watched for a while without saying anything.
Nan Fuguang did not look back, but at least the pig butcher was aware of his presence, because at one moment he slowly raised his eyelashes, probably giving Yunshang Immortal an indifferent glance.
Yan Ji'an was not prepared to pay any attention to this person. He waved his sleeves and flicked away all the mess on Nan Fuguang's body with a snap of his fingers. Except for her pale cheeks, it was almost impossible to tell what terrible thing she had just experienced.
The pig butcher seemed to have witnessed the monk's cleaning magic for the first time. He held the veil in his hand and stretched it towards the south to hold the light.
There was a vague sound of appreciation from deep in his nose. He picked up Nan Fuguang's hand and looked over it, making sure that all the blood between the nails had been cleaned up. He asked curiously: "Why didn't you come earlier?"
Yan Ji'an: "..."
Nan Fuguang still had no reaction.
Her hand was still in the butcher's.
Yan Ji'an didn't think this was necessary, so he said coldly: "Let go of her hand."
The pig butcher paused for a long time, maybe a few breaths, then lowered his eyes and smiled with an unknown meaning. Then he slowly let go of Sister Yuntianzong's hand——
Leaving the warm palm touch, Nan Fuguang rubbed the back of his hand subconsciously as a reflex, and then retracted his hand into his sleeve absentmindedly.
"I want to rest."
Her voice was hoarse when she spoke. If she had played it normally, she would have been surprised that her voice would be so dry and unpleasant.
Fortunately, no one was laughing at her at this time. The two people who heard her spoke didn't talk to each other immediately. It wasn't until the butcher said "Oh" and raised his eyes that he gave Yan Ji'an the first look.
"The Immortal Lord heard what she said. I'm afraid it's not convenient for Taohua Ridge to receive guests now." He said with a gentle voice and a smile, "The world of immortality is probably in chaos right now. It's better for the Immortal Lord to leave first and make plans early."< br>
……
Chixue Peak, Tao Pavilion.
There was movement in and out of Guixing Pavilion at the back of the mountain. It was probably Ruan Zhu's incident that alerted the people inside.
A North Sect disciple who ranked third in the Immortal League broke through from the middle stage of Qi refining to the end of Qi refining and exploded to death. This incident was not big enough to occupy a page in "Three Worlds Bao Inquiry", but in fact, in Shatuo Today, when the Skycracking Tree has withered for many years, it is not a big news.
The banquet guests sat on the couch in the front hall of the Tao Pavilion and sat in silence for a long time.
It was only later that he realized that he had obviously gone to find Nan Fuguang. He was even worried that she would be too panicked and brought the requiem pill, but he came back without taking out the pill.
——Just say to the pig butcher, "The Immortal Lord should leave first."
Immortal Lord Yunshang was a little confused.
I vaguely remembered that this was not the first time I had allowed the pig-killer to drive away customers. The last time was Nan Fuguang who got drunk at his wonton stall in the mortal world.
At this time, the chattering voice of the gate beast came from outside the main hall of Taoting. The heavy door was slowly opened, and urgent footsteps were heard. The thoughts of Yunshang Immortal were interrupted, but instead of being annoyed, his eyes lit up. Reputation goes.
I saw a girl in a sword monk's robe running, her long black hair flying in the sun, her delicate face full of impatience, shouting: "Master!"
The light in his eyes disappeared without a trace. When Lu Sang came to Yan Ji'an, the latter had already returned to his usual calm demeanor. He frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter, shouting in front of the hall?"
Lu Sang held up a stack of bamboo slips, which were "Inquiries about the Three Realms Package".
Yan Ji'an lives in seclusion on weekdays, and any major events that occur in the world of immortality will naturally be compiled and brought to him. Therefore, he rarely borrows "Inquiries about the Three Realms" on ordinary days. He feels that the information in it is messy, and even if he takes out a few crystals, he will not be able to read it. You can speak, but reading is boring and a waste of time.
At the moment, Lu Sang was holding the unfolded bamboo slip, as if he must read it. Yan Ji'an was a little impatient, and all he could think about was whether he should go to Taohua Ridge again to hand over the soothing elixir to Nan Fuguang, while stretching out his hand Take it.
The headlines haven't changed yet.
The ongoing work is still about the follow-up work of the Dainichi Mine disaster.
Lu Sang reached out and tapped the corner of the second page, "Here."
Only then did Yan Ji'an see that the news about a disciple of the Yuntian Sect who was in the Qi refining stage and died after breaking through the small stage was indeed posted on the Three Realms Packet. Although it only occupied a small corner on the lower right side of the sub-section, the subscription under the news However, the number of messages in the mobile forum of readers is increasing rapidly——
"What is it? Is it dangerous to break through the Qi Refining Stage in the third major sect of the Immortal Alliance now?"
"Wow, Yuntian Sect has a big problem."
"There is no official statement, just a report? The body exploded at the end of the mid-stage breakthrough of Qi refining, and then? What's the reason? Is it personal reasons? Or? This happened the next day after the vision fell from the sky last night. It’s hard not to think too much, right?”
"Speaking of which, do you still think that the 'Wild Hunt' phenomenon means that everything is going well and there will be a bumper harvest next year? You will do something like this the next day..."
"Hey, what my fellow Taoist said is ridiculous. Are you a disciple of the Yuntian Sect? The phenomenon in the sky last night was visible to the entire world of immortality. The body explosion during the Qi refining period is unique to the Yuntian Sect?"
"I, a member of the Yuanhai Sect, got up this morning and got a bad luck by pinching my fingers and doing divination, so I got a bad luck for someone else?"
"The Gate of Wuwei is here, and there is a lot of bad news in the morning. I feel like something is weird. I can't tell. Is your Zhen Sect Guixu Haiyan still peaceful?"
"Come back to the fellow Taoist above, the peace in our sect is peaceful today, but I feel a little uneasy when you say this and that. How do you know that I was uneasy and went to see it this morning? No, I will go and see it now. One glance? 》
"Okay, the big guys from Yuanhai Sect and Wuwei Sect have appeared. Where are the people from Yuntian Sect? Don't you want to watch "Three Realms Bao Inquiry"?"
"I guess the Yuntian Sect is in chaos now, right? How can I have time to watch this?"
Yan Jixin thought, he is not busy at all, I am watching.
"There is really no need for a certain fellow Taoist to fish in troubled waters and try to drag the entire world of immortality into trouble. Has Guixing Pavilion spoken out? Isn't it in your Yuntian Sect? If there is any change in the entire world of immortality, it must say a word or two, right? 》
"That's right. Guixing Pavilion's silence means it's not a big deal?"
"And there was "Wild Hunt" last night. Some people who haven't read the book should go to the mobile section to replenish their knowledge. You didn't read a word of the story before "The Harvest". Everyone in the entire dynasty died or something. …”
"I'm going to be scared to death from above. One of them dies now! Don't be alarmist?"
"Oh, haha, why don't you have a first? At the beginning of the story, a person from the royal capital suddenly died for no reason."
"Come again, come again, I've already said that you, Yuntian Sect, are unlucky, don't hold the world of immortality on your back."
"Although, in agreement with a certain Taoist friend above me, this small sect has unanimously decided that before Guixing Pavilion said that this matter was accidental and had nothing to do with yesterday's vision or even the entire world of immortality, all members of our sect must Don’t make any breakthroughs easily.”
"This fellow Taoist is too cautious."
"Don't ask, you are afraid of death if you ask."
Yan Ji'an quickly read some messages and could feel that except for those who did not know the truth and watched the excitement of Yuntian Sect, most of the cultivators and Taoists were frightened by the true feelings——
The topic of body explosion during the breakthrough stage was originally the most taboo and feared topic during the period when the Shatuo Sky Cracking Tree withered, but now it was openly brought out like this.
There were more and more messages, from disciples of various major sects and factions. Yan Jian became impatient and scrolled...
Then I discovered that the messages from the people who complained in the first place disappeared.
Hanging his fingertips, Yunshang Immortal frowned slightly. At first, he thought there was something wrong with the "Three Worlds Packet Inquiry" in his hand or that there were too many people leaving messages and the amount of information was overloaded...
He tried refreshing again, and then found that the real-time messages were indeed decreasing in batches.
——In real-life news, we are most afraid of cover-ups from the top. In today’s world where freedom of speech is free and communication methods are widespread and diverse, covering one’s mouth is the stupidest way, which can easily cause panic.
"Master, what happened to Yuntian Sect?" Lu Sang sounded worried.
Yan Ji'an didn't answer.
"Why are they gloating? The Yuntian Sect is not very popular in the world of immortality?"
"Nonsense."
"Then why——"
"Yuntian Sect is surrounded by three mountains, nourished by heaven and earth, and has abundant spiritual energy. It also sits in the Guixing Pavilion, which can be used for fortune telling." Yan Jian said calmly, "To sum up, the disciples of our sect have been blessed with unique advantages since they were young. If there is any trouble, , it is normal for people to say evil words, it is not unusual.”
Putting the "Three Worlds Bao Inquiry" away from his lap, sometimes Yan Ji'an can't stand the backward thinking and stupid behavior of the old men in the information release and management department of Xianmeng...
A thing that was neither big nor small has now changed its flavor among people by word of mouth.
It looks like the entire Yuntian Sect will die one by one tomorrow.
"There are so many people trying to pass the "Kingfisher's Nest" exam every year, where have all those people gone? Or is it that the Immortal Alliance is screening through layers just to select the stupidest among them? ”
Yunshang Immortal Lord threw the bamboo slips back to his young apprentice. Lu Sang took them hurriedly and looked at him timidly.
Yan Ji'an frowned all the time, feeling that he was a little impetuous and everything was not going well today.
I'm afraid it will be a big disaster if you make divination again.
……
I didn’t know that “Three Worlds Bao Inquiry” had already become a huge hit. As the person involved, Nan Fuguang was immersed in panic. It took her a while to recover her soul. She vaguely knew that many people had come to see her during this period, including Yan Ji'an, who had all been successfully dismissed by Killer. Gone.
He's quite useful at critical moments.
"If the Yuntian Sect had my say, I would place you in front of the gate of the Yuntian Sect on the 15th day of the lunar month and the New Year's Day to send away those idle people who show too much etiquette."
"I'm not your watchdog." The pig butcher said very calmly, "Where are you going?"
Nan Fuguang floated out of the cave and said to go out for a walk.
Yuntian Sect seems to be in chaos.
Nan Fuguang didn't want everyone to know that the senior sister of the third largest sect in the Immortal Alliance was so frightened by the failure of the breakthrough. This would only make the junior brothers and sisters more scared, not to mention that she herself had something to confirm——< br>
She wanted to know if it was her imagination that she felt the atmosphere in the sect was strange before going out in the morning.
Now after what happened to Ruan Zhu, she could finally describe what it felt like.
Comparing the Yuntian Sect to a person, compared to the eldest Wuwei Sect and the second eldest Yuanhai Sect, who are at the front of the Immortal League, the former has a big business and a rich family with a deep foundation, while the latter occupies the impure sea area and has an endless stream of God-given wealth. , and the Yuntian Sect relies on the mountains to eat from the mountains. It is a son of the mountains who is better than the superiors and less than the inferiors. He has all kinds of delicacies in the mountains and wild fields and never worries about starving to death.
But now, the son of destiny found that the mountain was bald.
For no reason, the sight of looking down at mushrooms and looking up at birds every day when I go out is gone.
The son of luck has all the skills, including setting traps, catching birds, and identifying herbs, but the mountain is empty, and the foundation he once relied on for survival is gone.
That's what it feels like.
The Yuntian Sect's centuries-old sect's spiritual veins are deep-rooted and full of spiritual energy. There is a real dragon sitting in front of it, and then the divine phoenix descends, and the spiritual mist surrounding the mountains becomes more and more intense day by day.
The disciples of the sect had all prepared their postures, thinking that the highlight of the sect's century-old reputation was about to come. In just one night, the moon fell, the stars were dim, the sun rose, and suddenly there was nothing.
Nan Fuguang came to Jingtan. The stream looked no different from usual. The water flowed lively and tinklingly. He squatted down by the Jingtan and stretched out his hand to touch the water. The pure water flowed through his fingertips.
She turned back and asked the person standing behind her: "Are you fishing?"
Pig Butcher: "There are no fish."
Nan Fuguang: "Let's fish."
The pig butcher turned around and entered the woods. He got a fishing rod from nowhere, swung it and sat down casually. Nan Fuguang sat down next to him and told him that Jingtan was not only the sun-drenched lottery pool of Yuntian Sect, he heard that Under the Jingtan is the main spiritual vein where the three mountains of the sect overlap and intersect. For thousands of years, the Yuntian Sect has relied on this spiritual vein and the unique Rail Star Pavilion to rank among the top three in the Immortal League. Without them, the Yuntian Sect would be no more than an ordinary large-scale Zongmen Erer.
Pig Butcher: "What do you want to say?"
Nan put his chin on his knees: "I don't know, I dare not say this. I think the Jingtan is empty now."
Pig Butcher: "Huh?"
Nan Fuguang: "Can spiritual veins be taken away?"
The butcher said, is the spiritual vein the root of a mountain or an object? If it is an object, it can be taken away. How can I know about your immortal world?
Nan Fuguang stopped talking again, and there was a brief silence between the two. The man shook the empty fishing rod in a bored manner. When he remembered that the surroundings were too quiet and turned his head, he found that the person next to him had his head buried in his knees and curled up into a ball like a withered mushroom.
As quiet as a corpse.
He originally thought he would ignore her, but when he reacted, he had already used the end of the fishing rod to lift one of her arms away.
When he saw that face soaked with tears, it was too late to regret it. The man sighed deeply, thinking that the time turner should be used in such occasions.
Human emotions are always like a pendulum that never stops. One moment you can figure it out, and the next moment you can't figure it out. It's so unpredictable that the tip of the nose of the person who was having an erratic conversation with him a moment ago is now red and swollen. , because the water is crystal clear, like a round radish soaked in water...
Her red eyes were filled with tears. When she raised her head blankly, her messy hair stuck to the corners of her eyes, and the tears became messy.
The tears continued to flow out as if they couldn't stop them.
The eldest sister of Yuntian Sect cried until she was confused.
She stared at the pig butcher for a few seconds with eyes that were about to go blind from crying, even though everyone knew that she couldn't see anything clearly, and then she felt as if a tendon on the back of her neck had been cut, and her head "popped" "As soon as the ground fell, it fell back to the knees and was buried.
"..." The pig butcher was silent for a moment, "Why are you crying?"
Such a straightforward question usually doesn't get a serious answer.
"Are you scared?"
This assumption that once you admit it, it will be like being chopped off below the knees, and your whole person will become shorter by a section, deserves no response.
The man thought that he would never get an answer in his life, and that he would have to face being mute from now on. At this time, he heard a dull and hoarse voice sounding very close to him.
"I hate that I am just an ordinary person and Ruan Zhu can only die in my arms like that."
She swallowed hard and paused visibly.
The arms around his knees were tense, his head buried deeper, and his voice was dull.
"She is not very smart. If she had been hugging Lu Sang, she would not have died."
Lu Sang is the divine phoenix in this world, the darling of heaven, and the son of luck.
God will not allow anything bad to happen in Lu Sang's arms.
So if it was Lu Sang, Ruan Zhu would not die.
"The way of heaven does not protect all things, but it only takes care of people like Yan Ji'an and Lu Sang."
It's a pity that she is Nan Fuguang.
Nan Fuguang is an ordinary and somewhat unlucky passerby.
Now Ruan Zhu, who chose her, is also unlucky. It's not just ordinary unlucky, she paid the price with her life.
Nan Fuguang didn't know who she was crying for, for Ruan Zhu, for Youyin, for Xiao Mushroom, for every miner in Da Ri Mine, or for herself...
In the past many years, she never felt there was anything wrong with being a ubiquitous pebble on the roadside in the world of immortality.
But now, she realized something was wrong.
——A pebble can be a pebble, and there is nothing to be unwilling to do, provided that it stays in the familiar place, and you can only see the same sky when you look up, instead of another wider place full of bloodshed.
No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to change anyone or anything. The story line created by Tiandao never wanted to waste any ink on her.
Realizing this, Nan Fuguang shed tears of despair——
Oh, God must not care about this matter.
Damn it.
The hem of the Taoist robe on her knees was soaked. Nan Fuguang was shocked at how she could shed so many tears. She wanted to stop to prevent the people around her from seeing the joke in the world of immortality, but she couldn't stop at all.
She was even more embarrassed when she heard the person next to her sigh. She felt the hot temperature on the tips of her ears. She began to think about how to drive him away, but before she could organize her words, she heard a deep voice——
"There is too much fantasy, and there is no such thing as the way of heaven in this world."
She ignored him.
"Or if you look up, if there is a way of heaven, it is only in front of you at this moment."
The nonsensical conclusion did not impress anyone. Nan Fuguang's throat was blocked and she could only make a vague sound to express her opposition to the nonsense. So the man had to let go of the fishing rod, reached over, and tried to lift her head from his knees. Lift up.
Soon, he felt that he was being resisted. The man in front of him was squeezing his neck and struggling with force——
Finally, before the man "tsk" impatiently and reached out to lift her ears, he suddenly seemed to give up and raised her head following his strength.
For a moment, no one spoke.
In addition to the sound of the turbulent water in the pond around them, the two people looking at each other could even feel the other's breath spraying on the tips of their noses.
It's moist and salty, but not salty like sea water.
The man thought a little carelessly.
"Huh?"
Nan Fuguang only felt the dryness and warmth of the big hand holding up her cheek in a slightly forceful manner. When that handsome and overly oppressive face for a mortal came closer, she was in a trance for a moment.
She tried to keep her eyes open.
But the vision in front of me became hazy like a fish's eyes due to tears.
"W-What?"
The tear stains on his face caused by the messy hair changed again. This time, the transparent and warm liquid got into his fingers. The rough hand that had been holding the butcher's knife one day encountered something so delicate and fragile.
The touch feels unfamiliar.
But he didn't move his hand.
"Did you see it?" the pig butcher asked in a calm tone.
"What?"
"The way of heaven you want."
"...No."
Nan Fuguang choked and couldn't speak clearly.
"I only see you. Is there something wrong with your mind?"
