Big Moon Ballad

"Go back? Back to Nanchu?"

Xu Yishan's breathing became heavy, "Don't you wait for the moon?"

A trace of pain flashed across Ji Jiashu's eyes, and the speed was so fast that almost no one caught it except Chu Yan.

"No more," he said softly.

Chen Zichu stared wide-eyed, as if he didn't know the friend who grew up with him in front of him.

He couldn't believe that the words of giving up waiting for Ying Baoyue came from Ji Jiashu's mouth.

Xu Yishan was silent for a moment, stepped forward, grabbed Ji Jiashu by the collar, and lifted his feet off the ground.

"Yishan? Chunhua?"

Chen Zichu stood on the side at a loss, but the faces of the two involved were very calm, as if it wasn't the two of them who were fighting.

"Yishan," Ji Jiashu stretched out his hand to hold Xu Yishan's wrist, "Please understand, I have no choice."

As high-level practitioners, their homeland is in trouble, and they have the obligation to go back.

"I understand." Xu Yishan's face was not agitated at all, and his tone was flat, "You are the son of the national teacher, and I understand all the righteousness of the family and the country you said."

"Although Baoyue is not from Southern Chu, she is from our Jixia Academy. Before leaving, Master told me that the two of us must come back together and bring her back safe and sound."

Water yard...

Ji Jiashu's eyes were a little dazed, he hadn't heard the name of this place for a long time.

It was indeed too long since he left Nanchu.

"Baoyue is my junior sister," Xu Yishan grabbed Ji Jiashu's collar and approached him, looking straight into the eyes that were close at hand.

"I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death. I will never go back until I wait for her whereabouts."

Ji Jiashu fell silent, "I didn't mean to leave now."

If they want to return to Southern Chu, they must first leave the current Xirong without incident.

Ji Jiashu had a hunch that this might not be an easy task.

After all, they are still trapped in the curse of the wings of the snake god.

"I'm planning to go back to Langbei Mountain first to look for elder sister," Ji Jiashu let out a sigh of relief, "pass by Shacheng on the way to look for eldest brother."

Just like Xu Yishan, as a senior brother, had to bring his junior sister home together, he had to bring his older brother and sister back home when the three siblings left together.

Not only Ji Ange and Ji Qingyuan, but Li Jinniang and the brothers and sisters of the Gui family who stayed in the carriage at that time and other lower-level companions, Ji Jiashu planned to take them away from Xirong together.

The Xirong Grassland was about to become a battlefield, and it would be too dangerous for them to stay on this land.

"What about when all this is done?"

Xu Yishan pursed his lips after hearing Ji Jiashu's arrangement, "Are you planning to leave?"

Ji Jiashu was silent for a moment, and put the jade pendant Chu Yan gave him into Xu Yishan's hand.

"While doing these things, once Baoyue gets news, no matter where she is, I will definitely go find her."

Xu Yishan held the jade pendant tightly, and let go of Ji Jia's collar with a complicated expression.

The anger in his heart had disappeared, because he finally noticed Ji Jiashu's pain.

It's not that Ji Jiashu doesn't want to stay here and wait for Ying Baoyue to come back.

It's just that he is not only Ji Jiashu who wins and hugs the moon, but also Chunhuajun of Nanchu.

The burden on him was too heavy, far exceeding that of an ordinary disciple of the water academy.

"I understand," Xu Yishan stared into Ji Jiashu's eyes, "Leave it to me to find Baoyue's whereabouts."

"Okay, okay, as the saying goes, every step counts, maybe you'll be back in two days."

Sensing that the atmosphere between the two had eased, Chen Zichu hurriedly squeezed into the middle to smooth things over.

"That's right, Mr. Chunhua really doesn't need to think so far."

At this time, Chu Yan, who had been watching coldly, finally spoke, walked to the side of the three of them, and smiled slightly.

"For the three of you, the first thing to think about now is how to get out of here."

……

……

The process of escaping from the monastery was not difficult, but a little disgusting.

Standing on the top of Langbei Mountain, Ji Jiashu rubbed his arms, only to feel that sticky and stench still remained on his skin.

After deciding on the future path, the three of them bid farewell to the wall in the secret room, and left the place where they had been squatting for a month.

Just before leaving, a violent earthquake hit the ground, even the wall where Ying Baoyue made Ying Baoyue disappear shook, and black mud overflowed from the bottom of the wall.

At that time, Chu Yan had just opened the door of the secret room. Seeing this scene, his face changed drastically, and he urged them to leave quickly.

Ji Jiashu had seen this kind of black mud in Xiling Snow Mountain before, and originally wanted to ask what happened, but Chu Yan slapped the wall of the secret room with his palm, which touched some mechanism, and the three of them shouted Fly out through the secret road.

Ji Jiashu originally thought that they would hit the stone wall outside, but unexpectedly, after flying out, the three of them fell directly into a mud pit.

The three of them didn't say a word, and the mud covered their mouths and noses.

But just as he was submerged in the mud, Chu Yan's surprised face flashed in front of Ji Jiashu's eyes, and then he heard Ying Baoyue's voice in a trance.

"Jiashu, take care."

Recalling that moment, Ji Jiashu choked for breath.

He still hasn't figured out whether the last voice he heard was his illusion, or if there was a moment when Ying Baoyue returned briefly.

If it's the latter, it proves that his conjecture is correct, Ying Baoyue is indeed still alive, and can detect the movement on their side.

It's just that something tripped her and made her unable to escape temporarily.

Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, maybe it won't be long before she will come back in a way that surprises everyone.

Until then, they need to be ready for it.

Just after hearing Ying Baoyue's voice, the three of them were submerged in mud and lost consciousness briefly.

Then they floated out of a swamp outside the monastery, and left the monastery in such a daze.

After regaining consciousness after soaking in the mud, Ji Jiashu heard a huge roar coming from the ground. With the vibration of the ground, all the ruined temples on the ground collapsed and turned into ruins.

Ji Jiashu knew that the monastery had left.

No one knew that the monastery had moved there.

After that, Ji Jiashu never saw Chu Yan again, and the jade pendant he gave never lit up.

Originally, Ji Jiashu was planning to go to Langbei Mountain with his own legs, but one of his actions touched the wings of the Soaring Snake God. Accompanied by the familiar arm pain and dizziness, the three of them suddenly appeared at the foot of Langbei Mountain.

Just like they were suddenly thrown from the tiankeng on the top of Langbei Mountain into a strange city before, they were suddenly thrown back to Langbei Mountain again.

This of course saves a lot of time compared to walking by yourself.

They did not return to the tiankeng where they disappeared, but to the foot of Langbei Mountain, which happened to be the place where they parted from Ji Ange, Zhao Guang and others.

This is simply drowsiness. Someone sends a pillow, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.

However, the joy of Ji Jiashu and the others did not last long.

Because Ji Ange, Zhao Guang and others were supposed to be waiting at the foot of the mountain...

Missed.
