"It's late at night."
After a brief conversation, before they knew it, the two of them had reached the outer reaches of the walled city.
On the high wall shrouded in darkness, a few figures can still be seen faintly, either patrolling back and forth, or leaning on arrow stacks to avoid the wind and cold.
Chen Yulou shook the wine jar in his hand.
A hollow voice came.
He couldn't help but doubt that the drink had already bottomed out at such a young age.
"It's very late, and we have to travel tomorrow."
The Partridge Whistle nodded.
Others are obviously still immersed in the huge changes in the evil thing of Vulcan and are unable to extricate themselves.
At this moment, I had just calmed down a little bit. I looked up at the undulating village wall like a mountain range under the night sky in the distance, and nodded thoughtfully.
"Brother Chen, I'll take my leave first."
"Let's go together. There's no view in this ice and snow, so we might as well go back and lie down."
Chen Yulou waved his hand.
If it were another time, he might still be interested in going for a walk on the lake.
In the vast waters like Yuhaizi, there may have been underwater monsters such as dragons, pythons, and turtles dormant and cultivating for countless years.
However, I have been running around non-stop these past few days.
Having another big drink tonight.
It may seem calm, but people are not made of iron after all.
Moreover, at this moment, he could clearly feel that the stamina of the strong drink was beginning to rise, and when the cold wind blew, his tiredness could not be suppressed at all.
Compared to water, it is a demon.
He wanted to sleep in a warm bed.
“Okay.”
Naturally, Partridge Whistle would not refuse.
The two of them walked back slowly along the original road, one after the other.
Not long after.
By the time they reached those courtyards, the last bit of noise had disappeared.
Except for the occasional neighing of horses and the sound of hoofbeats.
There was just the sound of snoring one after another.
The two of them have long been accustomed to this, and it can be seen from this that these boys are very tired.
It took more than a month to go back and forth.
Although I am on the road most of the time.
But being in the far west, being able to reach this day speaks for itself.
After all, it is not easy to survive in such a harsh environment.
"Brother Chen, rest early."
Crossing the courtyard and standing outside a wooden door, Partridge Whistle clasped his fists and said warmly.
Chen Yulou just nodded.
Watch him push the door open and enter.
Then get dressed and go to sleep.
But he did not rush back to his room, but found a stone mill and sat down, thoughts flowing between his brows and eyes.
In the past, Azhiya was used to induce the gods in the sacrificial ceremony.
Let him finally confirm one thing.
That is, in addition to the ancient gods, there are also evil gods in this world.
Daheishan Thunder Mountain, Crystal Zizai Mountain, Meiji Ghost, and Fire God all fall into this category.
According to his guess.
These formless evil gods seem to be remnants of a certain ancient era.
The moment the black shadow fell, Chen Yulou noticed an ancient, decayed aura, like a coffin that had been sealed for thousands of years.
This kind of aura has never been seen in the six-winged centipede, the Nanpanjiang old turtle, the Fuxian Lake dragon, the corpse king of Pingshan, and the female ghost in red from Zhelongshan.
That is to say.
It...should be different from monsters, mountain spirits, evil spirits and ghosts.
“Evil God!”
He exhaled slowly.
A word came to Chen Yulou's mind.
Using the word Yin Ling to define it seems not accurate enough.
Furthermore, the four of them have one thing in common, that is, they feed on incense, that is, blood, without any trace of practice.
“One more thing.”
"I have been practicing cultivation for so long, and I have traveled north and south, but I have never found any trace of the immortal."
"So, where did they go?"
Sitting cross-legged, Chen Yulou lowered his head. Looking at the ancient well to the side, through the weak lights under the eaves, one can faintly see the mirror-like well water.
He has actually thought about this problem many times.
There are countless legends about Taoist practice, Buddhist Zen enlightenment, ascension, and rainbow transformation. Logically speaking, they should not all be groundless.
But...
So far.
Except for the legacy of the Immortal, he has even been to the legendary Ascension Platform, but he has never noticed a trace of aura.
Before, he only thought that his cultivation level was too low.
It is difficult to see through a real person even if he is close at hand.
But the golden elixir and the cave sky.
The level of cultivation is getting better and better day by day. I have seen countless monsters. The ancient gods have been suppressed and evil spirits have been slain, but it is still the same. This is obviously something wrong.
“So, is there a possibility.”
“In the ancient era when the ancient gods came, the heaven and earth changed drastically, cutting off the source of spiritual energy, and the imaginary space was divided, forming countless caves.”
Think of this.
Chen Yulou's eyes became clearer and clearer.
It was as if the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened, and like an enlightenment, the messy thoughts were gradually sorted out clearly.
“This is why, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer spiritual opportunities, even entering the Age of Ending Dharma, the Day of Absolute Spirituality.”
“Practice becomes more difficult, so even if there are occasional great people in the Ascension Realm, Practitioners also entered the cave? "
"As for those gods from the ancient times, they have become evil creatures and can only survive in small caves or space cracks. "
Whispering in a low voice.
Countless images flashed through his mind one by one.
It’s like watching a horse and watching flowers.
After entering the realm of cave heaven, his true eyes can clearly see the rules between heaven and earth.
The 'Vulcan' tore through the fog and plunged into the space to escape, but there was no trace at all, and it seemed that it was not within the rules.
How is this possible?
As long as you are in this world, you will definitely follow the rules of this world.
Unless that space did not exist from the beginning.
But it was forcibly created by the existence of a certain great supernatural power.
Being able to achieve this step, Chen Yulou could think of no other possibility except the ancient gods.
When a whale falls, all things arise.
The impact of the fall of that ancient god is beyond human imagination.
“So, the underworld and the heavenly palace and fairyland that are rumored by various religions and folk are just caves that exist between heaven and earth?”
Hiss——
Think of this possibility.
Even he couldn't help but take a breath.
If this were true, those so-called religious believers would probably fall into madness.
It was a little hard to accept even his two lifetimes, let alone the people of this era?
But I have to say that although this idea is bold, it is not completely unreasonable.
We can get a glimpse of it from the Great Ghost of Meji and the God of Fire, as well as the evil god Mahakala sealed in the jade box. They are either tangible and insubstantial, or intangible and insubstantial, appearing out of thin air and disappearing instantly.
In the eyes of mortals.
That is a miracle that cannot be seen directly.
Actually, he just returned to the cave sky, just like the place of nothingness that he saw when he followed Meiji Demon in Longmo Ye and was filled with strong wind.
It is most likely a space crack.
“These evil gods and demons, the hidden caves are so amazing, then...how many other ancient gods?”
Chen Yulou clicked his tongue.
The original ancient gods Entropy and Green Hell were the first living ancient gods he could confirm.
It will definitely not appear easily on weekdays.
It is very likely that the cracks were torn open and stored in the Taixu Cave.
“This matter is too big. If you have time, you must pay close attention to it.”
Make up your mind.
Chen Yulou glanced at the dark night, no longer thought about it, got up and walked straight to the room.
There was a creaking sound of the door closing.
The lamp goes out.
Not long after, the sound of even breathing came from inside the house. until noon the next day.
In a few courtyards, people gradually started to sound. A bunch of guys were very drunk last night. They just felt confused now and gathered in the courtyard, smoking pipes and chatting.
"It looks like everyone is quite free."
"Master Guai."
"Shopkeeper Hua."
"Second Master."
While everyone was playing and joking, talking about what they saw and heard last night, bragging about their achievements, they even talked about the young girls of the Turkic tribe.
Suddenly.
A laugh came.
At that moment, everyone’s expressions changed slightly, and they stood up to say hello.
"The shopkeeper said that we will set off today and return to Xiangyin as soon as possible."
"If we hurry up, we might be able to catch up with Chunshe."
Huamaguai had a brief taste last night, and he and Po Li and others After a few drinks, the man came back alone.
How can he safely put hundreds of carts of goods in the yard?
Although specially arranged for a man.
But after all, he was on someone else's territory, so he didn't sleep well that night. He didn't fall asleep lightly until dawn in the second half of the night.
After all the calculations, I didn’t even get a few hours’ sleep.
But there was something on his mind, which made him look quite energetic.
"Leaving today?"
The group obviously did not expect to be in such a hurry.
After all, I just arrived last night.
"What, do you plan to stay and find a girl to marry, and then go fishing and hunting?"
Huamaguai heard their chat before, and unlike the Han people, the Turks She is very open-minded about things like love between men and women.
At every sacrifice and bonfire dinner.
As long as you look at the right young man and woman, you are unmarried and I am unmarried, and both parties agree, you can have a bridal chamber.
The girl in the boudoir who usually blushes after seeing her too often, suddenly sees this kind of custom, how can a bunch of bastards be able to bear it.
That is, I am afraid of the shopkeeper’s accountability.
Otherwise, many people would have spent the night outside last night.
Not to mention anything else, Zhang Yunqiao received six or seven love tokens such as handkerchiefs, jade stones, or bracelets last night, and he was so happy that his mouth was grinning to the back of his ears.
It’s just that he is quite restrained.
I really couldn't control myself last night.
Do you really think that the Turks can come and leave whenever they want?
Even if Chen Yulou intercedes, it will probably be useless.
After being exposed, a group of people couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, stop having those unrealistic dreams. When you go back to the mountain, you will be rewarded according to your merits. You guys are all counted. You dare not say that you are rich and you will have no problem making a fortune. ”
After all, Huamaguai is also an old man who has followed Chen Yulou for many years.
In these years, I have traveled extensively and seen countless things.
The matter of men and women is simple to say, but when you go out, you'd better keep your head calm, otherwise you won't know how you died.
Don’t say it anywhere else.
Just the land of western Hunan.
The Luohua Cave Girl and the Miaojiang Gu Master were sown by a love Gu that they would never be able to get out for the rest of their lives and could only be locked tightly in each other's hands.
"Thank you, Second Master."
I heard the words "rewards based on merit, a windfall of fortune".
A group of people instantly became excited.
If you join the trespassing business and tie your head to your belt, isn’t it just a matter of risking your life to gain wealth?
This trip was full of success and yielded countless rewards. They had already guessed this in private. They always treat people generously and are never stingy with rewards.
If you can really make a lot of money.
When the time comes, I will buy a few acres of land in Xiangyin.
When you get older, maybe you can go back and be a leisurely landlord.
“Stop being silly.”
"Let's make a fire to cook first. I estimate we'll have to leave in an hour at most."
"Yes, the second boss!"
The response was like a mountain and a tsunami.
Everyone dared to delay. They wished they could get their wings and return to Xiangyin one day earlier.
New Year's Eve, Spring Club, etc. are not important.
It is true to reward according to merit.
What's more, this place in the Western Region is covered with ice and snow, either snow or yellow sand. It would be torture for them to really stay here for the rest of their lives.
“A bunch of bastards.”
Seeing everyone disperse in a hurry, they all became busy.
Huamaguai couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
He clapped his hands, then thought of something again, turned around and looked at the courtyard behind him.
Hua Ling and Miss Hong have already woken up.
It is said that early in the morning, the two met to go to the lake to see the scenery.
Although I don’t know what’s so good about a big lake, and the cold wind on the lake makes my face hurt, how can I really say anything about Huama’s abductor?
Yang Fang and the old foreigner are still nowhere to be seen.
I guess I drank it hard last night.
As for Kunlun, he was sitting by the ancient well, wiping his big halberd.
The kidnapper is not surprised by this.
Sometimes, he envied Kunlun's mentality. He was not anxious at any time and always did his own things in a strict manner.
Go over and look at it for a moment.
Out of the corner of his eye, he kept staring at the doors behind him.
Not long after, one of the doors opened from the inside. Huamaguai's eyes couldn't help but light up, he patted Kunlun's shoulder, and walked over quickly.
“It belongs to the shopkeeper.”
Chen Yulou held a strange brush in his hand.
Made of bristles.
Wetting it with fine salt, we were rinsing it back and forth on our teeth.
The shopkeeper calls this a toothbrush, and he hires someone to make it. He always takes it with him when he goes out, and brushes it once every morning or evening, when he wakes up or goes to bed.
He has become accustomed to it.
“Are you all ready?”
Chen Yulou motioned him to wait, and didn’t ask until he finished brushing.
"It's almost done, now we're just waiting for dinner."
"The weather is good today. At our speed, we can reach Kunmo City by tomorrow at the latest."
Huamaguai walked in an orderly manner replied.
“That’s okay.”
Chen Yulou nodded.
"Oh, by the way, if you are not busy, come with me to meet the two seniors. After all, we are staying here, so we can't leave without saying goodbye. It would be rude."
"Okay."
Huamaguai agreed immediately.
He is used to doing everything himself, and arranges things in an orderly manner from the moment he gets up.
After a while.
The two of them passed through the walled city and arrived at the residence of Wutuo and Azhiya.
“Why is it so sudden?”
“Brother Chen, maybe you have some objections to the old man, and I haven’t even had time to fulfill my duty as a landlord.”
For Two Everyone made a cup of butter tea.
After hearing Chen Yulou’s explanation of his origin, Wutuo and Azhiya couldn’t help but look at each other, with a look of surprise on their faces.
Apparently even they didn't expect it.
“No, no, no, Chief Wutuo, it’s just that I’ve been out for too long and I miss my family so much.”
Chen Yulou waved his hands repeatedly.
“There are a lot of us staying here, so we would have caused a lot of disturbance.”
“Then we have eaten at least...”
Seeing that he persisted and seemed to have been prepared for a long time, Wu Tuo couldn't persuade him anymore.
“I had already asked the guys to make a fire when I came here, so eating is a trivial matter.”
After a brief chat.
Chen Yulou stood up and prepared to leave.
But before he could speak, Azhiya, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped him and said seriously.
"Wait a minute, Brother Chen, the old man still has something to trouble you with."
"Please help me clear up my doubts." (End of this chapter)
