Chapter 1925 Nuwa Temple (Two in One)
[I don’t know where Hong Mao has been recently. It seems a waste to use the Demon Lord Order once... Brother Guan, if you have nothing else important, can you come and accompany me? 】Sedum uses the forum to spread the message.
[…I’m not your lover, why do you want me to accompany you for no reason? ] Guan Liyuan felt a tightness in his back.
[Every year around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the "Moonlight City" will appear here, and the "Fei Peng Xiyao" will also appear at this time... I suspect that it is a small demon world that will interface with the human world periodically every year. Appear everywhere.
I have read some ancient secrets. It is said that the Qionghua sect among the eight sects of Kunlun once tried to defy heaven and restrain a demon world that would periodically approach the human world for its own use. In the end, it was punished by the Nine Heavens Xuannv and fell...
It can be seen that every time the demon world moves, it may not always be able to communicate with the human world, and sometimes it has to be specially restrained... If this time it is just close to the human world without communication, it may not be able to make "Fei Peng Xiyao" If I enter the human world, I may need your spatial ability to help! 】 Jingtian explained.
If "Feipeng Xiyao" is the elf transformed by Xiyao, then it shouldn't be in Moonlight City. The reason why it always appears together with Moonlight City should be because of the overlap in space...
The reason why Xiyao was split into countless elves was precisely because the God Realm wanted to use her to take care of the God Tree. After the Pangu world was shattered and the God Tree matured at the end of the war between gods and demons, the spatial structure of the Fairy Sword World was largely related to the Divine tree connection.
The central divine realm is equivalent to the crown at the top of the divine tree. The divine realms opened by other divine emperors can be regarded as the surrounding small crowns. The so-called demon realm and fairy realm are also fragments of Pangu heaven and earth, which fell on the leaves, so their aura is particularly special. There is plenty, while the human world is in the shade.
The tree trunk where "Fei Peng Xiyao" usually works is equivalent to the gap between various planes.
Therefore, when the "tree branch" of "Moonlight City" hangs down and approaches the human world, there will also be "Flying Peng Xiyao" entering the human world by coincidence.
Jingtian's own realm has not yet reached the realm of true immortals, and he does not have spatial magical powers. "Money can make ghosts grind" and he has not yet developed the corresponding usage...
Of course, they had socialized every year before, and the possibility of an accident today was not high, so Jingtian didn't contact Guan Liyuan specifically before, but now that Guan Liyuan asked him proactively, he nervously spoke out.
In case Moonlight City does not appear, or "Fei Peng Xiyao" fails to enter the human world, Guan Liyuan can also be asked to forcibly open a space tunnel.
Guan Liyuan thought for a moment, then glanced at Xu Changqing and said, "Brother Xu, Xiaotian seems to be having some difficulty in Shidong. I'm going to go there. You..."
"Oh? Then I'll go with you," Xu Changqing said.
Otherwise, he could still stay, and how could he just stare at him with cold eyes?
Guan Liyuan originally meant this too - he always felt that Xu Changqing's current state was not quite right, it seemed... a little too indifferent!
His eyes seemed to be unable to contain the outside world, as if he had become a real "outsider".
Although he is not worried that he is a true immortal, he would be unimaginable to die for love after seventeen years, but... Guan Liyuan estimates that there is a high probability that Xu Changqing will shrink into a nobody after meeting him and Jingtian "finally" In the corner, sitting there, fending for itself...
Otherwise, like in the original work, how could he, a man who must still be alive and become an immortal twenty or thirty years later, remain indifferent during the calamity of worshiping the moon?
A true immortal's instinct to breathe out spiritual energy can be immortal for a hundred years, but it cannot prevent him from being completely exposed to the outside world.
Guan Liyuan felt that after Shushan didn't need him, it would be better to find some "interest" for him!
Going to Shidong together is just a temporary measure.
Xuejian heard that Guan Liyuan was going to "play" in southern Xinjiang, and immediately shouted to follow him.
It was not a dangerous matter anyway, so Guan Liyuan agreed, and even Hua Ying and Wang Pengxu came with him...
It's just a small demon world. There's no situation that a "true immortal" can't solve. If there is one... go get two!
However, although Xu Changqing and Guan Liyuan are both true immortals, they have never been to Shidong, so they cannot move directly in space.
Although Xu Changqing has untied the "Seven Star Sword", he is now directly "controlling the sword" with spiritual energy, which is still "quick and lightning" is not enough to describe. Guan Liyuan himself has space magical powers, reaching the realm of true immortals, and after setting foot in the forbidden area of the Way of the Universe. , but directly took Xuejian, Huaying, and Xiaoxu to travel through space together...
In a short time, the two of them rushed from Luluo Mountain to Nanjiang, Manzhou, and outside the city of Shidong.
Shidong City was just a small town, about the same size as a small town. Jingtian had already received the news and was waiting for Guan Liyuan and others outside the city.
"Brother Xu? Are you here too?" Jingtian said in surprise.
"I heard that we are looking for 'Fei Peng Xiyao'. Is it related to the goddess Xiyao? I will also search with you." Xu Changqing said.
"Hey, after Xiyao was punished by heaven, she has transformed into hundreds of millions of elves, and some of them are living in the world. When she is found...it's just to express her condolences." Jingtian said sadly.
Seeing this, Xu Changqing patted Jingtian on the shoulder: "Okay, Xiaotian, at least as long as you don't give up, you and Xiyao... will have a chance to meet again after all, and Zixuan and I..."
Seeing that Xu Changqing's memories had been brought back, Jingtian quickly calmed down his emotions.
Although Xue Jian sympathized with Xu Changqing on the side, he still remembered what Guan Liyuan said and did not reveal the matter of Zixuan's remaining soul.
As for Guan Liyuan... he stared at Jingtian - Xiyao was punished by heaven, her body was destroyed, and she split into countless elves without intelligence. It was he who asked Shu Ming about continuing to maintain the sacred tree!
Fortunately, Xu Changqing is now in despair and has no source of information about Jingtian...
"Is there any clue about the demon world now?" Xu Changqing asked.
"The Miao tribe where the demon world was burrowed is called 'Moonlight City'. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first year, it will appear under the moonlight... However, Feipeng Xiyao and the demon world only appear at the same time, and they should not come out of the demon world. "Jingtian said.
"Is it a demon city?" Xu Changqing frowned.
If it is a "demon city", it means that this demon world should still be very strong, and... there is already a perfect order.
"No, it's just a forest. Because the surrounding trees are very neat, it looks like a city wall, and it appears under the moonlight, so it's called 'Moonlight City'." Jingtian said.
"Has anyone been in?" Xu Changqing asked.
"It is rumored that many people have gone in, but... very few people have come out alive. It is said that there are many ferocious monsters in the woods! But I have found out that someone in the city has seen 'Fei Peng Xiyao', and there seems to be another person, I have entered Moonlight City several times." Jingtian said.
Jingtian said as he took everyone into Shidong City. Although it is called "city", the architecture is still very Miao style, and unlike the Han city where "there are Taoist temples outside and the land of the city god inside", the Miao people There is no Chenghuang Temple in Shidong City, but there are many Nuwa Temples.
Nuwa, as the human ancestor and human emperor, is the ancestor worshiped by all human races. However, there are still those who worship Nuwa as a religion on weekdays, only the Miao people in southern Xinjiang.
The same is true for the immortal sects in southern Xinjiang. Worshiping Nuwa is far more common than worshiping Taozu or other great figures.
The Miao people in the Fairy Sword World now have dozens of branches, the most mainstream of which are the black Miao and white Miao branches.
Although the black and white Miao have the same belief in Nuwa, they now hate each other and fight for generations, so southern Xinjiang also seems very remote.
Xu Changqing is naturally a Taoist disciple, but because of Zixuan and Nuwa's original spiritual energy, there is no reason not to go in and take a look when passing by Nuwa Temple.
What a coincidence. Although it was getting late at this time, when everyone came in, there were still people praying in the Nuwa Temple...
"Ms. Nuwa, I beg you, please help Brother Lu come back safely and be less injured. And please let Brother Lu forget about Sister Yuewei, let him stop taking unnecessary risks, and stop because of He was injured by something that was impossible to do. Brother Lu is so pitiful..." A young woman wearing silver jewelry on her head, a silver ring around her neck, a short shirt and a skirt, who looked like the local Miao costume, was praying in front of the statue of Nuwa. With.
At this time, Guan Liyuan also pressed down and stared at Gongguo Xiaoxu to prevent her from doing anything rude...
"Mother Nuwa, tell me... is Brother Lu possessed by evil spirits? It has been three years since Sister Yuewei was captured by a monster, and her body may have turned into bones. What will happen even if the monster is killed? What's more, every time he enters Even Moonlight City returned with serious injuries. I heard that there are countless monsters there, and even a mortal like him cannot defeat them. Why would he do this?"
The believer in front of the statue of Nuwa has not noticed anyone coming in, and still continues to "pray"...
The belief in Nuwa in southern Xinjiang does not rise to the level of pursuing sacrificial systems and etiquette standards. In the eyes of the Miao people, Nuwa is their ancestor, and they respect her from the bottom of their hearts, but they are not so particular about it.
In Taoist temples and temples in China, you will never see believers who seem to be "chatting" with statues of gods.
"Caught by a monster? Girl, do the monsters in Moonlight City you mentioned still eat and harm people?" Xu Changqing said at this time.
Although Xu Changqing has left Shushan, his heart to defend the Tao with his sword has not left Xu Changqing.
Moreover, this little girl was praying to the statue of Nuwa Empress - it would be fine if she didn't hear it, but now that she heard it, Xu Changqing couldn't just sit back and ignore it...
Whether it was the reason for Zixuan or Nuwa's original aura, Xu Changqing felt that he had an obligation to respond on behalf of the great God Nuwa!
"Ah! Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping on me?" the little girl said in surprise, and kept staring at Guan Liyuan.
After all... Snow-white hair, snow-white skin, and even the pupils are silver-white. Even though there are many people in the world of fairy swords who "have strange phenomena", Guan Liyuan's appearance is still very conspicuous!
"Uh... Don't be afraid, girl, we are not good people... Well, we are not bad people. Have you seen this? He has a special sense of justice. If you have any difficulties, you can ask him!" Guan Liyuan quickly took the initiative to help Xu Changqing find trouble. Do.
Although Xu Changqing was helpless with Guan Liyuan's explanation, he had indeed decided to intervene, so he took the initiative and said: "Girl, I just heard you mention monsters... I used to be a disciple of Shushan, and... my deceased wife was also a follower of Nuwa. I think I What I heard from you here may also be the guidance from the Nuwa Empress. If it’s about getting rid of demons, you might as well talk to me.”
After the fall out between Southern Xinjiang and the Middle Earth Immortal Sect, although they did not specifically expel Shushan disciples, they still gave them a cold reception. Over time, very few Shushan disciples came here. After more than ten years, ordinary people in Southern Xinjiang have almost forgotten "Shu Mountain".
"Shushan... sounds familiar... By the way! Is it the demon-killing sect in Middle-earth?" The little girl thought for a while before recalling.
In addition, the sadness in Xu Changqing's eyes when he mentioned his "dead wife" made the little girl instinctively believe him.
"Are you a disciple of Shushan? That's great... If you can really help me save Brother Lu, you can do anything for me to leave the palace! I don't ask for anything now, as long as Brother Lu is safe, even if he never talks to me again. And willingly!"
It turns out that this little girl is called "Li Gong".
And it can basically be seen that she has feelings for that "Brother Lu"...
"Girls leaving the palace don't have to be like this. Since it is the guidance of Empress Nuwa, just tell me if you have any difficulties... Was your brother Lu taken away by a monster?" Xu Changqing asked.
"No...but it's coming soon! If this continues, Brother Lu won't be safe every time..." Li Gong said confusedly.
Xu Changqing used some mental soothing techniques to calm her down, and then he got useful clues from her.
The so-called "Brother Lu" is named Lu Beiting. Just by looking at his name, you can tell that he is a descendant of the Han family.
He is still a knight who travels all over the country. He came to Shidong with his fiancée Yue Wei three years ago. In order to find Xuan Tie for making weapons, he ventured into Moonlight City. As a result, his fiancée Yue Wei "missed" in Moonlight City...
As for the reason, Lu Beiting has always refused to say, but for two consecutive years, Lu Beiting would break into Moonlight City to look for Yuewei.
However, every time I failed...
It's strange to say that Lu Beiting, a mortal knight, should have a narrow escape after entering. Moreover...it is true that Lu Beiting was seriously injured every time. However, early the next morning, Li Gong could always find him in the place where he disappeared in Moonlight City. And all the wounds all over the body have been bandaged!
This has been the case for two consecutive years, and today... Lu Beiting will also go.
Although Li Gong didn't know the reason why Lu Beiting survived, he also understood that... with such an adventure, he might have to stay in it forever!
"Huh? Could it be that Moonlight City has appeared tonight?" Jingtian asked.
"That's right, when the moonlight casts a phosphorescent road outside the city, you can reach the 'Moonlight City' by walking on it!" Li Gong said.
"Phosphorescence... Okay, don't worry, Miss Li Gong, I'm going to explore Moonlight City. As long as Lu Beiting is still alive, I will definitely bring him out." Xu Changqing said.
"Ah! Then, thank you, Immortal Xu. By the way! There are many monsters in Moonlight City. Do you need any weapons? My family runs a weapons shop. You can take whatever you like..." Li Gong is very happy to have Immortal of Shushan. Help, but also worried that they would be implicated because of their lack of strength, which made them a little uneasy.
When Xu Changqing saw this, he just smiled slightly: "Now I am just a casual cultivator, I can't be called an immortal, and I have long been unable to use any weapons...Brother Guan, Xiaotian, please wait here for a moment, I will go back." .”
Li Gong was stunned when she heard this. Originally, she thought... women and children (Hua Ying) would be the only ones, at least Guan Liyuan and Jingtian would also go!
Who would have thought that he was a coward, just watching his friends take risks? Li Gong couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous...
But they don't know that in the eyes of Xu Changqing and others, let alone a little-known little demon world, even those powerful and powerful demon worlds are not worth the three of them taking action together!
"Xu, Xu..." Li Gong didn't know what to call him for a moment.
"Just call me 'Brother Xu'." Guan Liyuan reminded.
Li Gong didn't know that in terms of her true age, she should be called "Uncle Xu", and Xu Changqing also looked at Guan Liyuan complainingly at this time.
"Brother Xu, be careful all the way." Li Gong blessed, and at the same time murmured in a low voice: "As long as Brother Lu can come back, I will no longer ask for things I shouldn't have in my life! I won't look for 'Fei Peng Xiyao' anymore..."
Hearing this, Jingtian couldn't help but ask quickly: "Ah! You are the one who discovered 'Fei Peng Xiyao'? Miss, can you tell me where it is specifically?"
Li Gong looked at Guan Liyuan curiously, and then... there seemed to be some "idea" in his eyes.
