Returning from the end of the fairy road

Chapter 229 Meeting an old friend (two in one)

Chu Tianming gently stroked the little girl's back. He didn't say anything, just stroked silently.

His palm seemed to have a special magic power. With his gentle caress, the little girl gradually stopped trembling, and finally hugged him and fell into a deep sleep.

This was her first real sleep after she regained some consciousness. She slept very soundly and seemed to have forgotten all her fears.

"Another person tortured by darkness." Chu Tianming looked at her lovingly, letting her hang like a koala, then stood up and left.

Walking along the road paved with stone slabs, looking at the old trees and old dilapidated houses on both sides, it seems that the people and things of the previous era are still in front of me.

Along the way, Chu Tianming seemed to have passed by them in the past. The bluestone was still there, but everyone had already been immersed in the long river of time.

This time I push Black Stone Sea again, who knows who will be around me?
Chu Tianming shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Most of those people were amazing and talented. It shouldn't be a problem to live for 6 years, but he had to tighten his grip a little.

Stopping, Chu Tianming had arrived in front of an ancient mansion.

There was a plaque hanging on the mansion. There was no word on it, but Chu Tian knew clearly that he had arrived.

There is no one guarding the mansion. There are only a few people in the black mud building now. They are recuperating and preparing to fight foreign enemies. No one will waste energy to guard a mansion.

In fact, it doesn't need to be.

Chu Tianming stepped into the mansion in one step, avoided everyone in a familiar way, and turned into a quiet path. After winding all the way, he came to an old house that was rarely visited.

In the old house, there is a cave, which is a rare small cave. In the cave, the source of Taoism is fragrant and the cauldron is rising, just like an immortal's dojo.

And in the center of the cave, there was a crystal coffin.

The entire crystal coffin is carved from a single piece of ice crystal chalcedony. Ice crystal chalcedony is a kind of Taoist source. It can calm the mind, make people feel calm, and understand the Tao principles in the void.

For example, in the countercurrent waterfall in the Shuxuan world, there was only a piece the size of a fist, and it was taken away by Nanli Taishou.

And such a large area here is enough to cause competition among countless cultivating countries from the outside world.

The coffin carved from ice crystal chalcedony was filled with hazy white air, and a figure could be vaguely seen lying in it.In other places in the old house, there was a man and a woman standing respectfully. That man was obviously the person Chu Tianming had met before.

After a while, the man and woman left, and calm returned to the old house.

Chu Tianming came to the front of the house and gave it a light push.

When he pushed the door open, countless brilliance floated on this inconspicuous door, which was one layer after another of restrictions, as if it could separate the entire world.

But such restrictions seemed to be nothing in front of Chu Tianming. Chu Tianming pushed them casually, and the heavy restrictions were gently opened by him like a curtain.

"Squeak..."

He pushed open the wooden door, and a smell of agarwood mixed with a touch of cold air hit his face. The sleeping little girl's delicate body trembled slightly, she woke up hazily, glanced around anxiously, and then fell asleep again. .

"Tiger soul, tiger soul." Chu Tianming walked to the crystal coffin and said with a smile.

Hearing Chu Tianming's voice, the entire crystal coffin suddenly trembled, the endless white air in the coffin suddenly surged, and the sleeping figure suddenly opened his eyes.

A pair of eyes as bright as stars seemed to reflect an era.

Through the lid of the crystal coffin, he saw Chu Tianming, and even more clearly saw Chu Tianming's demeanor and the subtle expressions on his face when he spoke. .

At this moment, the white-clothed figure from the past and the white-clothed young man in front of him now slowly merged together across 6 years of time and space.

"Mr...Mr...?!"

The hoarse voice of the person in the coffin carried the imprints of years that could not be erased, and a ruddy color that only a teenager could have appeared on his ancient well-like face, which showed how excited and restless he was in his heart.

"Gah-"

The lid of the crystal coffin slowly opened a crack, but Chu Tianming gently resisted it and slowly moved it back for him.

"Hupo, you are already old. There is no need to strain your body and bones. Just continue to lie down." Chu Tianming said calmly.

The man in the coffin, 'Hu Po', sighed guiltily, "Please forgive Hu Po for not being able to get up to welcome the young master..."

"Even if I have to feel guilty, it's me and it's not your turn." Chu Tianming waved his hand, then gently touched the crystal coffin made of ice crystal chalcedony, and sighed, "I have worked hard for you all these years... ."

Hu Po's voice slowly sounded, "Compared to those comrades who died fighting in the darkness and turmoil, I, Hu Po, can survive to this day and still have a life to continue fighting. What's the hard work? I'm just suffering from this black mud building. All the monks have been trapped in the black mud building for tens of thousands of years due to my involvement." "Back then, I gave the order to retreat to the wilderness, why didn't you retreat?" Chu Tianming asked, "If it wasn't for my chance, When I stepped here, I thought you would have spent your remaining years in the wilderness."

Hu Po said: "More than [-] years ago...the soldiers and I did receive the news, but just when we were preparing to evacuate, a large number of ghosts and nightmares poured into the ancient starry sky road, and the other eighty ancient battlefield generals took action to intercept and cover us. Men evacuate..."

That battle was their last battle. In order to cover the evacuation, eighty generals suffered heavy casualties. In times of crisis, a large number of monks stepped forward, sacrificing themselves and covering the evacuation of others.

Later, they re-entered the ancient battlefield, reopened the ancient battlefield with the battle flag, and launched a final sniper attack on the ghosts and nightmares.

Black Ni Zhu is one of the ancient battlefields that has been restarted.

With the ancient battlefields, ghosts and nightmares were once again intercepted outside the ancient starry sky road, unable to flow into the wilderness. As a price for interception, these more than ten ancient battlefields, including black mud buildings, became the haunts of ghosts and nightmares. Therefore, these dirty things have been entrenched in the void outside the ancient battlefield all year round. Every once in a while, they will collide with the ancient battlefield and try to destroy it.

The monks who stayed in the black mud building began to multiply, but due to the physical problems of the monks, the population never increased.Whenever ghosts and nightmares come, except for the oldest group of monks, the rest of them take up their weapons and rush out of the black mud building. Using the battle flag as a guide, they rush into the void, trap the enemy, and eliminate the demons. nightmare.

It is this inherited will to fight that makes the children in the black mud house experience the horror of ghosts and nightmares under the guidance of adults as soon as they turn six years old. Under the influence of their ears and eyes, they gradually acquire the knowledge to deal with ghosts and nightmares. and skills.

Natural selection is a natural selection, and in the constant battle between ancestors and ghosts and nightmares, people living in black mud buildings have innate resistance to the atmosphere of darkness. Some people even try to follow the path of darkness in order to Darkness is power, and darkness is used to combat darkness.

As Chu Tianming and Lan He said, darkness is a kind of power. If you can resist its temptation, it will become a sharp sword in your hand.

Some monks built in black mud are such a kind of people who use darkness as their sword. Of course, this kind of people are always rare.

"Has anyone been here before?" Chu Tianming asked. He thought of the coordinates in the twisted space of Tianyuan, which were deliberately left by someone.

"No, Heini Zhu has been isolated from the world since then, how could anyone come?" Hu Po's voice was full of affirmation, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and said, "No, Master... There is indeed someone who has been here. It has been too long. I can't remember exactly how long it was. It was probably 3 years ago or more than [-] years ago... a female cultivator who called herself 'Kong'e'. , came here, according to what she said, she is the Lord of Makuzhou Star, and the next Lord of Makuzhou Star in Cang Ming."

Thirty or forty thousand years ago?Chu Tianming raised his eyebrows, what happened during that time?
He calculated that the only major event should be the third Black Stone Sea Rebellion... When the Black Stone Sea Rebellion occurred, the little girl Qingxuan had disappeared. Without a leader, the seven core members of the Hunfang Cultivation Domain The Star Lord united 42 Star Lords and entered the Black Stone Sea. Although the chaos in the Black Stone Sea was finally suppressed, there were heavy casualties. If Fairy Kong'e remembered correctly, she should be one of the core Star Lords who fell.

"When Fairy Kong'e came, although she hid her aura and only revealed the aura of shaping the path, I had a vague feeling that she had half-stepped into the Imperial Dao Realm. She was even a monk whose cultivation had been suppressed by the Imperial Dao Realm... ..." Hu Po seemed to be immersed in that time, and he said, "If Fairy Kong'e could say anything, the one who most resembles me is Fairy Qing Ping..."

"Is it because of her Tao? The Tao she cultivates is also of the 'space' lineage?" Chu Tianming suddenly asked.

Hu Po said: "Young Master knows things like a god, and what Fairy Kong'e has practiced is the 'Way of intercepting the sky'.

Chu Tianming was stunned and asked: "After that, did any strange people or things appear?"

This time, Hu Po was obviously a lot more cautious. He did not answer too hastily. Instead, after thinking for a while, he said: "Yes... it happened during that period of time. A meteor burning with black flames hit the black mud." Zhuli, the thing in that meteor is none other than the little girl you are holding, Master."

"Oh? Is there such an origin?" This is exactly what Chu Tianming wants to know. Knowing some clues, it will be much easier to deduce the origin, and Chu Tianming already has some guesses at this time.

"Are the debris of those meteors there?" he asked.

"There is a strong dark atmosphere among those wreckage. I and the soldiers were thrown out of the black mud building as early as the beginning." Hu Po said, "Tens of thousands of years have passed, and it may have disappeared long ago. If you want to investigate, Master As for the origin of that little girl, you can go to the place where she descended to take a look... When the little girl first descended, I thought she was a disaster star, but later I found out that it was not the same and I thought she didn't have a trace of darkness in her body... I I have also explored her, but she clearly has no cultivation, but there is an invisible force around her that completely separates her from the outside world."

"I sensed something was wrong, but no one of us could get close to her, and she was dull and dull, like a person who had lost her soul, so no one of us took care of her."

"So, now..." Hu Po said with a bitter smile, "After tens of thousands of years, even I am old, but she is still like this, it seems that she has not changed at all, Master... This is the most terrifying thing about this little girl. place."

After talking for a while, Chu Tianming asked: "Since I'm here this time, if you want to leave with the soldiers of Heinizhu, I can help you."

"Leave..." Hu Po murmured these words. Now, after tens of thousands of years of precipitation, he is no longer the passionate general he was before. He has seen the sadness of 6 years, and he knows that he has to stand Brother Heinizhu thought about it from his standpoint, "If they can leave, let them leave. I will stay and break up the queen together with the young master."

Chu Tianming shook his head and said with a smile: "Since you said I would come, then of course you are no longer needed. You still have some years to live. Go back to the wilderness and enjoy your old age. There is no need to crawl out of it and fight for life. Dead."

Hu Po laughed and said: "Young Master, you are joking. I am lying down not because I am afraid of death, but because I want to accumulate strength. When I reach the peak of my accumulation, I will let those dirty things taste the explosion of the insignificant! Young Master, maybe I I am not as good as you. For you, maybe my power is too insignificant, but even a tiny spark has the ambition to start a prairie fire! If the whole world is dark, then even if I only have a little fire, I will be bright!"

Chu Tianming finally left quietly. Before he left, in addition to discussing in detail his plan to return to the wilderness, he also talked to Hu Po about some things that belonged to the era 6 years ago. Those things can be taken out at will Up to now, it would have been a major event that could only be known by consulting ancient books, but in the mouths of Chu Tianming and Hu Po, it was blurted out as if it were commonplace.

While leaving, Chu Tianming also determined one thing.

The coordinates of that distorted space should have been left by Fairy Kong'e, but it's a pity that she fell into the chaos of the Black Stone Sea. Otherwise, after the chaos of the Black Stone Sea was quelled, her cultivation and realm would be enough to drag Hei Nizhu into the chaos. Distort the space, and then bring them directly back to Makuzhou Star through the inner domain of Tianyuan.

It's a pity that the third Black Stone Sea Rebellion lost the leader of Qingxuan Lord and relied only on a group of Star Lords. No matter how advanced they usually seem to be, when placed in the big river that flows from the origin to the end, it still seems Too small.

After leaving the mansion, Chu Tianming went to the ruins southeast of the Zhangui Ancient Tree.

When the little girl transformed into a black fire meteor, it passed through the ghost mist outside the ancient battlefield and fell into the black mud building. It landed in this place. Tens of thousands of years have passed. The original meteor wreckage is no longer here, but it still remains here. Some of the original breath.
