Zhuxian Prequel: Wilderness

Chapter 23

The stars and the moon were shining, the night was quiet and beautiful, and time passed quietly. After everyone waited here for a while, Wan Jiantian raised his head to look at the sky, shook his head and said: "The time has come, it seems that Junior Brother Zeng won't be able to come, let's go."

Everyone was speechless, and walked back separately, Zhong Tian couldn't help turning his head to look at Hongqiao in the distance, Cang Song had a sneer on his face, obviously looking down on this Zeng Shuchang who retreated before the matter.

As for the other people, their expressions didn't change too much.

However, seeing the farewell was imminent, and seeing Wan Jianyi walking over to stand with Cang Song, Tian Buyi, and Shang Zhengliang, Shuiyue and Suru's faces turned pale after all.Even the usually calm Daoxuan, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he remained silent.

Wan Jianyi didn't seem to be hurt, smiled at him, bowed his hands to the crowd, and was about to speak, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a shout from the distance of Hongqiao, with a bit of haste, It came from afar: "Don't, don't go, I'm coming!"

Tian Buyi turned around abruptly, with a look of joy on his face, he said, "It's Xiao Zeng who has come."

Everyone turned around and looked, and sure enough, they saw a figure striding over from the distance of Hongqiao, and when he came close, his face was illuminated by the moonlight, it was Zeng Shuchang.He could only hear him gasping for breath. It was obvious that he had used all his strength to run to Yujian, and there was also a bit of eagerness on his face.

I saw him running to Wan Jianyi quickly, and in a hurry, he didn't even care about paying respects to Daoxuan and others, so he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Wan Jianyi, and said: "Wan Jianyi Brother, this is, this is my father's handwritten letter."

Wan Jian glanced at him, reached out to take it, took out the letter paper and unfolded it, looked at it for a while by the moonlight in the sky, then nodded, and said to Uncle Zeng: "Since Uncle Zeng has no objection, then you can follow us." Let's go together."

Uncle Zeng let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had finally let go of a big stone in his heart, and then he recovered, and then he noticed the crowd of people around him, and hurriedly bowed to each other.In the end, he walked aside, but he naturally stood with Tian Buyi.

Tian Buyi looked at him, with a smile on his face, but then he seemed to think of something, his face darkened suddenly, but he was a little angry, and said in a low voice: "I said, how dangerous is this wilderness trip, what are you doing?" Did you know?"

Uncle Zeng took a breath at this moment, nodded, and said, "Of course I know."

Tian Buyi glared at him, said: "Then why did you rush over here, aren't you afraid of death?"

Uncle Zeng snorted, and asked back: "You are here yourself, why are you asking me this sentence? Are you afraid of death?"

Tian Buyi said angrily: "Nonsense, no one is afraid of death if you are good-looking, but this action is of great importance, and it is also related to my Qingyun sect's foundation for a long time. As a disciple of Qingyun, of course I have a duty to do so."

Uncle Zeng said: "I am also a disciple of Qingyun!"

Tian Buyi sneered, and said: "But Senior Brother Wan came to look for me personally, so I naturally couldn't refuse, but he obviously didn't look for you, so why do you want to come along? What if there is any accident in the Wilderness, you... ...Don't talk about anything else, what do you ask Master Zeng to do?"

Uncle Zeng fell silent suddenly, and didn't speak for a while.

Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment, feeling that he seemed to have said something wrong, he laughed dryly and said, "What's wrong?"

Uncle Zeng shook his head, sighed suddenly, and said in a low voice: "I went back and knelt and begged for a few hours, and finally broke my tongue with my father, so he agreed."

Tian Buyi said: "Why do you have to come?"

Uncle Zeng stared at the endless night sky beyond Hongqiao, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Senior brother Liu passed away, my father wanted to hand over the position of the first seat of Fenghui Peak to me in the future, but he couldn't convince the public because he didn't know why. I can't get over it either. I have to do something big so that everyone in Quanfenghuifeng can see it, so that I can stand upright and have a clear conscience."

Tian Buyi took a deep look at him, didn't say anything, after a while, he patted Zeng Shuchang's shoulder lightly, Zeng Shuchang smiled and nodded.

In front, Wan Jian shook his sleeves one by one, walked to the middle of the Hongqiao, cupped his hands towards Daoxuan, Shuiyue, and Suru, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, we should go too."

Shuiyue took a step forward, with a dignified expression, and first signaled Suru to divide the wine cup among the five fellow disciples in front of him, and then filled the wine cup "Green Bamboo" unique to Xiaozhufeng one by one, and then retreated with Suru. When he came to Daoxuan's side, he said in a solemn voice: "Brother Wan, fellow disciples, it is a long and dangerous journey to the wilderness. I can't express my heart in just a few words, but I will do my best for you with just a glass of thin wine. I hope that the ancestors of the past generations will protect you, and you will be blessed." Come back triumphantly, set an inexhaustible achievement, and shine in the blue sky!"

She had a clear voice and a peerless appearance, she looked like a fairy, but in front of her, the mountain wind suddenly blew past the Hongqiao, blowing the skirts of everyone fluttering, as if they felt something.

The night was getting thicker, the moonlight was like water, Wan Jianyi was full of vigor, looked around at the people around him, suddenly let out a long laugh, with a clear voice, and raised his glass to the sky.

Cang Song and the others were like this, and after a while, the five of them raised their heads together and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The sky, the earth, and the sky suddenly fell silent, and the moonlight and stars fell into the world together.

Above the clouds, on the top of the Hongqiao, in chic white clothes, brothers side by side.

Daoxuan stood aside, watching this scene silently, his face was silent but his teeth were clenched, his hands clenched tightly in the sleeves of his Taoist robe.And beside him, Suru covered her mouth with her hands, unable to speak.

Shuiyue looked sad, and looked up again, her eyes only fell on Wan Jianyi, full of admiration and admiration.

Wan Jian casually threw the wine glass into the abyss, then clasped his hands and said loudly: "Let's go!"

There was a clear roar, only the sound of the dragon chant, and the green sword light flickered, and the man in white rose up with the sword, not to miss it, and flew straight into the sky; On this thick ink sky.

The starry sky and night are endless, at that moment, the hot-blooded man walked away boldly, and everything in the world was fearless!
Only the lonely moonlight is left on the Hongqiao.

Suru suddenly cried out, and threw herself into the arms of her senior sister Shuiyue, choking so hard that she couldn't make a sound; Shuiyue hugged her tightly, and together with Daoxuan who was standing not far away, stared deeply at the sky that was getting farther and farther away in the night sky. of those twinkling lights.

In the northwest of Qingyun Mountain, there is a canyon where clouds and mist do not disperse all year round. From the perspective of terrain, it can be regarded as a remnant of the majestic and majestic Qingyun Mountains, but it is not a short distance from the main vein of Qingyun Seven Peaks where Qingyun Gate is located.The canyon is not big, but the climate is comfortable and pleasant. The mountains on both sides are stretching, and the forests are dense and green. The howling of wild animals in the forest can be heard endlessly in this canyon.

The rainwater accumulated in the mountains forms a trickle and slowly falls down the mountain ravines, like water curtains, which is really beautiful.Occasionally, an unknown flower tree was born in the mountain stream, and a branch stretched out of the water curtain. The green tree and red flowers trembled slightly beside the water, causing the red to dance, adding a touch of reddish color to the mountain.

A small river flows through the canyon, the water flow is fast, and the clear water splashes on the shore rocks to create bursts of water mist. In addition, the top of the canyon is foggy and misty, and the sunlight casts it into colorful colors, although it is not as good as that of the "Hongqiao". The momentum is magnificent, but it is also pleasing to the eye.

The local people have always admired the "immortals" on Qingyun Mountain, and Hongqiao among the six scenic spots of Qingyun is even more famous, so those who have good things named this place "Rainbow Valley", which is named after the artistic conception of Hongqiao.However, although the name sounds good, Rainbow Valley is located in a deep mountain, and there are no people around on weekdays, and it is very clean.

But these days, the canyon has become noisy, especially in the past two days, there have been many figures on both sides of the river in Rainbow Valley, all of them are members of the Demon Cult who were defeated in the battle of Qingyun.

Among the large number of demon cultists, most of them looked panic-stricken. After the defeat in the battle of Qingyun, they only wanted to escape back to the wilderness in the northwest as soon as possible. leave immediately.However, there are also some people among them who are different. They form a group and occupy a territory as soon as they come. They look strong and capable, and they are heavily guarded, making people afraid to approach them.

The center of this formation is in a tent.

Now several important figures in the Devil's Cult are gathered here.The breath of the old ghost king on the ghost king's side was still very weak, and his complexion didn't improve much. He was only half sitting and half lying on a recliner with Xiao Wan's support.And there were two groups of people in front of him, and on the left were Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Suzaku, the four great envoys of the Demon Cult. Among them, Qinglong was holding a jasper urn with a dignified expression, while the other three were sitting upright. is standing behind him.

On the right side of the ghost king, there are three people sitting, the first one is the master of the Wandu Sect, Poison God, and the next two people, a man and a woman, are very young, they all look like they are only in their early twenties.

The ghost king coughed twice, breaking the silence here, glanced at everyone, and then fell on the young man under the Poison God, and said, "Yuyang, have you found your master's remains?"

This young man is Yuyangzi, a disciple of Duan Hou, the master of the Eternal Life Hall of the Devil's Sect. He looks young and handsome, but there is a stern look in his brows, but in front of all the elders of the Holy Sect, his expression is obvious. Still a little nervous and cramped, said: "Not yet." With a bit of anger on his face, he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid most of them were taken away by those Qingyunmen."

The ghost king silently shook his head, looked down again, and looked at the last young woman with lower eyebrows and pleasing appearance, but she was actually very charming, and said, "San Miao, how is your master?"

This young woman named Sanmiao had a look of sadness on her face, and said in a low voice: "Master, she was stabbed by the Qingyun thief's Zhuxian sword during the battle of Qingyun Mountain. Not only did she break her arm, but she was also severely injured Severe internal injuries, and has been in a coma for a long time now, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
