Chapter 34 Mountain City [Two in One] A long time ago, he was Zhao Ye…
byThe ones who reacted more than Wu Xingxue were Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu.
At that time, they lifted the felt curtain and were about to get out of the carriage, when they heard Xiao Fuxuan's words "Jiaojie", their heads were full of question marks, and one foot was empty——
Hearing two muffled thumps, the two little devils almost fell a dog and gnawed at the mud in front of their own devil's cave.
Ning Huaishan grabbed the car door and stopped stumbling. After a while, he pushed aside the felt curtain and stretched his head in: "...Why do you know?!"
His eyes were already big, and he stared at Xiao Fuxuan in disbelief.
After a while, Fang Chu's head also came in, frowning and "confused": "How does Su know the method of 'Jiaoji'?!"
Doctor Wusheng next to him questioned: "Jiji period? What does robbery period mean? It's the first time I've heard it today."
Ning Huaishan immediately said to him: "Is that nonsense! Can you listen to it as you like?"
Doctor Wusheng: "?"
The demons under the robbery period will be drilled into the void and take advantage of the emptiness to enter. Therefore, the demons and demons in Zhaoye City knew that they knew it well, and they would cover it up in every possible way when they left the city. No evil demon will let the outside world, especially Xianmen, know a thing, that is to expose its shortcoming.
What's more, the "robbery period" is just one of the devils themselves. They think that the soul-devouring body is a robbery, so they use a name. If you let Xianmen know, I am afraid they will only applaud, call it "retribution".
They asked, and Wu Xingxue at least heard one thing—how the word "Jieji" should come out of Xiao Fuxuan's mouth.
As for why he knew...
That's a really good question.
Wu Xingxue grabbed the felt blanket and recalled the vague moments in the dream, especially the ambiguous tone of Sang Yu when he mentioned "Stop the Immortal" to him...
In short, the carriage was afraid to accommodate him.
But the two hundred and five babbled: "Should be, I'm sorry... How did you know about it? Who leaked it out?"
Xiao Fuxuan didn't answer them immediately, but opened the felt door curtain with his sword, turned his head and said to Wu Xingxue, "Get out of the car."
Wu Xingxue glanced at him, lifted the thick blanket, and walked towards the car door.
He lowered his head to let Xiao Fuxuan hold the sword against the door curtain and was about to get out of the car.
In the corner of the light, Xiao Fuxuan glanced at him, and suddenly answered the question that Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu had been asking for a while.
His deep voice was close at hand, and he said, "Just know."
Wu Xingxue's heart skipped a beat.
Then the voice sounded again: "Put on the cloak."
Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu: "?"
He coldly uttered another sentence, no name or surname, and everyone was stunned when he heard it. After a while, the two realized that the words were for their city lord.
Ok………………
Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu were still thinking about something, but they suddenly ran out of words.
Seeing that the city lord made a move, it meant that he glanced at Xiao Fuxuan clearly, and finally turned his head and went back to the car.
Yi Wusheng took out the big cloak that was in the car and handed it over, saying, "I understand what the robbery period means. Since the body is cold and unbearable, it's better to wear more clothes. Maybe... If you mind, you can describe the robbery period. How does it feel, and how can it be suppressed. I have a few other 'medicines', which may be able to be used."
"..."
After he finished speaking, there was an instant silence in the carriage, and the needle drop could be heard.
Doctor Wusheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a face, "What's wrong?"
Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu silently turned their faces away, not daring to "disorder" or "interject" words. They tacitly avoided for a moment, and suddenly realized a problem——
The resident fairy Xiao Fuxuan actually kept silent with them.
Of course, Su originally cherishes words like gold and loves to speak. But at that moment, they were subtly aware that Su Shangxian's reaction was not the normal silence, but was similar to them, which was somewhat meaningful.
It was as if he only knew what the robbery period was, and even how the robbery period would react and how to suppress it.
Ok? ? ? ?
Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu looked at each other.
However, before they could think about it, they heard their city lord open his mouth and say, "Hold the truth, I remember how the robbery period was, and the pill "medicine" is sure to be eaten. I love it. Mr. kindly accepted it."
After that, Wu Xingxue got off the carriage wearing a cloak, almost in a hurry.
Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu hurried over and whispered to him: "City Lord, it's so strange, that Su Shangxian seems to know something, and even how to suppress the robbery-"
Before the words were finished, they heard the city lord in a very soft voice: "Shut up you guys."
The two were most afraid of hearing the tone, their scalps numb, and they pursed their lips.
Wu Xingxue finally came clean for a moment.
The sharp cold wind in the night swept towards the face with the "tide" of the rain, and it swept the ear cold. Only then did Wu Xingxue realize that in the carriage just now, his ears and neck were warm.
There was a soft sound of swords behind him, and Xiao Fuxuan also got off the carriage.
Wu Xingxue glanced from the corner of the corner as he swept his surroundings, and saw Xiao Fuxuan standing a few steps behind the carriage. He glanced at him, but did not intend to come over.
"Hey... Where did you get so many from the station?" Ning Huaishan suddenly asked in confusion.
"Huh?" Wu Xingxue turned to look.
Where their carriages were parked was a hooded hitch. In the distance behind you should be the entrance to Zhaoye City.
There was a towering tower staring down there, with a minaret on each side. It seemed that there were bells hanging along the edge of the tower, swaying in the cold wind, and the bell sounded through the fog and rain.
In the middle of the high wall is a black iron gate. There are dozens of blue lamps on the left and right of the gate, and the heights are scattered.
At first, Wu Xingxue thought it was a lantern hanging on the wall. After looking for a while, realized that it was a ghost fire in the misty rain.
In the gap between the ghosts and fires, there are shadows.
Wu Xingxue asked, "What is that? Guard?"
His heart is shining, is Night City a devil's den, and what kind of guard does the devil's den need?
However, I heard Ning Huaishan say: "We used to have no guards in Zhaoye City. Those Qingming lanterns were placed by the city owner, as well as the mysterious bell hanging on the tower. The bell will ring, and the Qingming Lanterns will turn into a wall of fire, stretching for hundreds of miles."
"There will be some later." Ning Huaishan said again.
"Why?" Wu Xingxue asked.
Ning Huaishan hesitantly said: "Uh, because the city lord Canglang North Territory is a ghost place, I know when I can come back. Don't worry about how many years Qingming Lantern and Xuanzhong have supported, so..."
It's already a euphemism.
Wu Xingxue knew very well. It must be that the demons in Zhaoye City thought he was going to die and believed in something.
Moreover, guards can be arranged, and there is one that works in Mingzhaoye City.
Wu Xingxue waved at Ning Huaishan and asked, "Come on, let me ask you, who is the current city owner of Zhaoye City?"
Ning Huaishan pouted, subconsciously said, "Xue Li."
After being arched heavily by Fang Chu.
Only then did Ning Huaishan react and said, "City Lord..."
Wu Xingxue was completely surprised, since he entered the northern region of Canglang, the world thought that he would definitely die. The Demon Cave Zhaoye City may have been vacant as the city lord all the time. It's normal to have a new city owner.
He recalled that when he first left Canglang Northern Territory, Ning Huaishan was eager to pull him back to Yecheng, probably because of this.
"Xue Li?" Yi Wusheng suddenly said, "Xue Li..."
He was invaded by demons, and after more than ten years of confusion, he knew who the new city owner of Zhaoye City was before he woke up. When he heard the name, he repeated it a few times and said, "The name is one of my old friends."
Fang Chu: "Your old friend is the Feng family?"
Doctor Wusheng nodded: "Exactly, the Feng family and my Hua family have been friends for generations. The previous head of the family had two sons and one daughter, Chang Feng Fei, his beloved daughter Feng Juyan, and the Yao Feng Xue Li."
Fang Chu: "That's right, it's him."
Doctor Wusheng was shocked: "What do you mean?!"
Fang Chu: "It was Feng Xueli, who knew how to turn against his family, entered the evil way, came to Zhaoye City, and changed his surname to Xue Li. We haven't seen anything in Zhaoye City for 15 years. The big devil, but let him take advantage of it and become the new city owner."
"It's just like!" Ning Huai's belly was full of anger, and his face was longer than a donkey: "He came to Zhaoye City to repair his own mansion, and he wanted to take over the city lord's fall. Luo has been banned by himself, and he is afraid that he would have moved in with all his belongings!"
Because of this, he found Xue Li extremely pleasing to the eye.
Before, he and Fang Chuba had Wu Xingxue return to the city as soon as possible to kill the majesty of that dog thing. Based on the ability of his family's city lord, once he comes back, how can Xue Li be able to make a fortune?
But now he has changed his mind. Their city lord remembered something, and it happened to be the robbery period. It was best to wait until the memory was restored and the robbery period was over, then Xue Li was caught off guard.
So, now is a good time to "reveal" your identity.
Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu thought about it, and called Wu Xingxue, wanting him to relax a little before passing the station.
Before he could speak, he heard a gust of wind behind him.
It was a cloudy wind with corpse aura. When Wu Xingxue smelled that smell, he suddenly remembered Sang Yu's mansion in the dream, the corpse-refining man, who always had a smell on his body.
Wu Xingxue wrinkled the tip of his nose, and when he looked up, he saw shadows on the city wall. But in front of them, there were dozens of people wearing black robes in an instant.
Their skin is pale, and there is a very conspicuous black line around their necks. At first glance, it looks like they are the first family, and they are forcibly stitched together.
Upon closer inspection, found that the circle of black threads was not a stitched line, but coffin nails, which were nailed in a circle along the neck.
"Is that the guard of the new city master?" Wu Xingxue measured those, tilted his head to the side, and said softly, "What kind of ugly things are they?"
After he finished, it was rare that he did not hear a continuous echo, and his heart was so deep that Ning Huaishan was still so deep.
Jie heard Ning Huaishan's voice on the other side: "We have only been out of the city for a few days, how come there are so many stations?"
Wu Xingxue: "..."
Ning Huaishan, who had been beside him before, knew when he was a few steps away. Who was standing next to him listening to his nonsense?
Wu Xingxue turned his head and saw Xiao Fuxuan holding a sword.
Wu Xingxue was startled: "...Are you standing over the carriage, what's the matter."
Xiao Fuxuan: "Did you not look back? How did you know that I was standing by the carriage?"
Wu Xingxue moved his lips but said nothing. The subtle and unspeakable feeling before came up again.
He vaguely noticed that Immortal Su seemed very happy, even when he just woke up. On closer inspection, it seems that it started when he and the doctor Wusheng "remembered the robbery period" and hurriedly left the carriage.
Wu Xingxue: "..."
Well……
As a devil, he must never be happy. Besides, he really knew what to do if he wanted to speak.
If you don't see it.
The big devil thought and pursed his lips.
After a while, he moved again: "Then why did you come here?"
Xiao Fuxuan raised his eyelids: "Come and change your face."
Wu Xingxue: "?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then Xiao Fuxuan whispered: "Don't move yet."
In the next instant, he understood what Xiao Fuxuan meant—the guard leader of Zhaoye City explained to Ning Huaishan and took a few steps toward him: "There is a change in Luohuatai, I am afraid that it will be brought over, the city lord ordered to increase the city defense. It's no problem for you to enter the city, the three are..."
The group of guards, with fire floating in their palms, followed the photo. Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu were Wu Xingxue's confidants, and Zhaoyecheng was almost ignorant. But the remaining three, they should check or have a look.
They were very close. Under the circumstances, it would be too obvious if Xiao Fuxuan raised his hand and touched someone's face.
Wu Xingxue's heart is finished.
They originally wanted to "touch" into the Falling Flower Terrace and get some jade essence to repair the dream bell. For everything else, it's best to wait until he understands the dream and restores his memory.
But now, I'm afraid I'm going to attract attention——
He opened his face, showing Ken from Yecheng.
Xiao Fuxuan is actually not enough, after all, he is an immortal. As far as the fragments he dreamed about, most of Zhaoye City probably knew Xiao Fuxuan's model.
Even Yi Wusheng is dangerous, he is not only the elder of a famous family in Xianmen, but also has a reputation, and he is guaranteed to be recognized at a glance.
If you think about it, they really seem to be keeping a low profile, more like they are here to provoke the entire Zhaoye City.
When the guard approached with the fire in his palm, Wu Xingxue heard two words from Xiao Fuxuan's lips: "Okay."
All right?
Wu Xingxue looked at the hand he hadn't raised, and was puzzled. Is it not moving, where is it?
When he turned around, he saw that the doctor Wusheng around him had not changed at all, with the thick cloth still covering his nose and mouth, but the "exposed" eyebrows and eyes had changed.
At first glance, it looks like a weak scholar who has been controlled by demons.
The fire in the guard's palm swept away, and Wu Xingxue squinted at the firelight.
At that moment, the guard let out a "hiss" and muttered to the other guard beside him, "Eyes...how do I think I've seen it before?"
In the corner of the light, Wu Xingxue saw that Ning Huaishan and Fang Chushou had already pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword, and they seemed to be attacking at any time. I heard another guard say: "Two, there are always a few you think you've seen before."
They looked at it carefully for a while, and turned the fire in their palms to Xiao Fuxuan.
Wu Xingxue could confirm that his face was already recognizable like a doctor Wusheng.
"Have you finished the investigation? It's really annoying. I'm tired. We were both hungry along the way, so we caught a few and came back." Ning Huaishan looked a little impatient, "What else can I bring?"
It can be seen that he has some status with Fang Chuzhao Yecheng. Seeing that he was impatient, the guards didn't bother, and immediately made a way out.
"By the way, to enter the city you have to take the road of Luohuatai, and the city owner has opened another road to the right." The guard asked behind him.
"What's wrong with Luohuatai?" Ning Huaishan asked.
"It's nothing but the fire in the mountain again."
"Firelight?"
"Ok."
Wu Xingxue remembered the one in the old doctor Wusheng's carriage. After Luohuashan City was burned down by the mountain fire, every year on the third day of March, Luohuatai would still have lights for ten miles. It attracted many immortal brothers to carry their swords away, but found that the mountain was empty, a piece of scorched earth, and there was nothing.
Until Luohuatai was drawn into the boundary of Zhaoye City and became the entrance to Zhaoye City, the lights on the third day of March slowly disappeared.
What did the guards mean, the fire was up again after hundreds of years?
Ning Huaishan: "We were fine when we left the city a while ago."
Guard: "It started two days ago."
two days ago?
Wu Xingxue was thinking in his heart.
Is that when they came out of the Valley of Compassion?
What a coincidence? Or is there any connection between them?
He thought for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, everyone was already standing in front of the black iron gate. According to the Qingming Lantern set up by him, there were faint floating on both sides, and when the crowd approached, they swayed up and down a few times, and they were about to move.
Taking advantage of the guard, Ning Huaishan whispered, "City Lord, do you remember how to use the Qingming Lantern?"
Wu Xingxue said calmly: "Forgot, what's wrong?"
Ning Huaishan's face was "numb": "Qingmingdeng recognizes the spirit of immortals, don't be wise. I have been guarding the gate for hundreds of years, and there has not been a single mistake. The immortal's inspection is accurate, that is easy to find. fooled."
Ning Huaishan glanced at Su Shangxian and lowered her voice even lower: "If you remember how to use it, you can make it easier for Su alone. But if you remember, what should you do?"
Wu Xingxue: "..."
He said with a sad face: "According to the Qingming Lantern, it's scary to burn, I want to compromise, I-"
He was halfway through crying, his eyes suddenly widened, and his tail sounded abruptly, almost splitting.
Wu Xingxue followed his gaze and turned to look, and saw Xiao Fuxuan only paused for a moment in front of the Qingming Lantern, then raised his feet and walked forward.
The long sword made a very soft sound, and the robes fluttered, and the long black boots could be seen.
The Qingming lamps on both sides only flickered a few times, and there seemed to be a momentary hesitation. The next moment, they quieted down again, regardless of whether they had just let go of a high immortal.
Ning Huaishan: "??????"
Back, he and Fang Chu were really stunned.
"Why is the city lord able to enter?"
"Why can he get in without you doing anything?"
"He even looked like he was going in for the first time."
"City Lord?"
They turned to look at their own city lord, and saw that the city lord's thin neck and chin were covered in silver-white "colored" fox fur, and after a while, a sentence popped out from his lips: "I know, are you two going?"
"..."
"go."
Until he passed through the black iron gate, Wu Xingxue still thought about the sentence "Why did he enter, it was even like the first time he entered".
He could actually guess why.
Because in that dream, when Sang Yu and his two gadgets were spying on the birds, they saw the immortal Su Shang. If the dream is true, then Ming's former immortal in the past also disturbed the Qingming lamp when he came to illuminate the night city, and he has never tasted the taste of Qingming's ghost fire.
As for Ning Huaishan, the Qingming Lantern was set up by him. If he wanted to do anything, he would probably have to move it.
Then there is only one answer -
A long time ago, when he was the Lord of Zhaoye City, he had already given Xiao Fuxuan convenience.
...
Wu Xingxue took a moment.
He subconsciously followed Yingchao forward, and when Shi Meng raised his eyes, he realized that he had already entered a mountain road, and Shi was standing in a mountain fog.
Just one step later, he saw Xiao Fuxuan's tall back drowned in the pale mist.
The fog was normal, and it was unusually cold.
When Wu Xingxue followed through the white fog, he felt that the fog brushed past his neck, as if a large drop of ice water fell on the back of his neck with a "pop" and flowed down his back.
The chill made him close his eyes for a while, and when he opened them, the "color" of his eyes had completely changed.
Behind the thick fog, there is a white stone boundary monument with vines crawling at his feet. The boundary monument is engraved with beautiful handwriting: Luohuatai.
In front of it is a winding orange-yellow light, like a long dragon, starting from the mountain road in front of the feet and winding to the edge.
Under the light of the lights, it is faintly visible that the buildings are connected, the casements are opened, the paving and stalls are scattered, and the shadows are passing by.
Flags of various colors fluttered in the shadows of the mountains, and the nearest long flag had four characters written on it:
Luohuashan City.
Wu Xingxue stood for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards Changfan.
He lowered his head and passed the long banner, and the lively voice came towards him like a "tide" that suddenly rose up in the unprovoked sea.
Although he had no memory at all, when he heard those noises, he suddenly felt that he was inside. It was Luohuashan City back then.
But the real Luohuashan City has been burnt out and disappeared hundreds of years ago.
What's in front of you?
I had been guarded when entered the city gate just now. There was some change in Luohuatai, and there were often lights in the mountains.
Difficult, did he carefully step into the illusion?
The fantasy was too real.
The mountain city is like Jianshan Road, more like a long alley looking to the end. The ground is paved with white stones, and the paving is tightly stitched. When you step on it, it will gently lift to one side, and when you release it, it will gently fall back.
The closest to him was a three-story tea shop. The pavilion was built on the mountain, but it was crooked.
Long strings of lanterns hang from the eaves, and there are many sitting in the tea shop, chatting and laughing. A book gentleman is sitting in front of the hall, holding a wake-up wood, and flying stars are scattered.
A white cloth towel was draped over the shop's shoulders, a stall was set up outside the hall, and a shout went straight into Wu Xingxue's ears: "The spirit tea fried from Xianquan in Luohuatai, one pot cures all diseases, and two pots of thousand-year-old worry-free— —”
Wu Xingxue: "..."
The tea flag supported by the stall 'swayed' halfway, he couldn't help it, he reached out and 'touched' the edge of the tea flag...
The illusion is a bit powerful, and even the texture of the coarse cloth is clear.
"Hey, gentleman! Don't talk about my family's flag!" The shopkeeper said to him: "Do you drink tea? My family's tea is a must, and you can taste it when you leave Luohuashan City."
Wu Xingxue shook his head and was about to say, "Yes."
Suddenly, saw a tall figure in front of him, about three or five feet away from him. He raised his sword to push aside Bu Sheng, who was floating on the pavement, and turned sideways to avoid an old man who was pushing a trolley, and he was about to drown in the crowd.
Wu Xingxue strode over and was about to call out "Xiao Fuxuan".
As soon as the word "Xiao" was uttered, he felt a tap on his shoulder. The next moment, a palm gently covered his nose. He took a half step back, his back crashing into the warmth.
Xiao Fuxuan's voice sounded in his ear, and it was very low: "That can be called, it is an illusion."
