The years when I explored the fairyland

Boundless sea of ​​sand,

At sunset, the world is a golden glow.

Chu Zhou stood there, with long hair and bare feet, tall and slender, as if he was isolated from the world, floating like a fairy.

And another man appeared beside him, with a measured manner and a bright smile, as if meeting an old friend, making people happy.

Chu Zhou had never seen this man, but looking at that smiling face, he felt a strange sense of intimacy, which made him puzzled.

However, he had enough self-control and did not show much surprise, but looked at the newcomer carefully.

After only a few breaths, Chu Zhou faced the bright face with an undiminished smile and asked: "Do I know you?"

"Of course not!"

"But you seem to be looking forward to my arrival?"

"Yes, because only with your arrival can I be free."

The man spoke sincerely, without any reservation, but Chu Zhou became more and more vigilant in his heart.

After a pause, he finally said: "I don't see the breath of a demon in you, as if you are a real human from beginning to end!"

"But similarly, I don't see the power that a human immortal should have, as if you are just an ordinary person."

"But I know clearly that you can't be an ordinary person, so I really want to ask, who are you?"

"Who am I?"

The man whispered softly: "You will know, I will tell you everything, just need you to be patient."

"How about this, since you are in Bituizhou, allow me to take you to appreciate it, okay?"

Chu Zhou asked back: "What is there to appreciate?"

"Boundless desert, endless yellow sand, and the stench that comes from the bones, what else is there here?"

Chu Zhou's straightforwardness made the man's smile freeze, but it was not anger, but a kind of sadness, a kind of sorrow.

He looked into Chu Zhou's eyes again: "Believe me, please believe me, I will take you to see a different Bituizhou."

Chu Zhou thought for a moment and finally nodded: "I hope so!"

The man seemed very happy and immediately said: "Then let's go now."

As he said this, he took the lead and walked forward, with brisk steps, and his back was exposed to Chu Zhou, as if he was not defended at all.

Chu Zhou was puzzled, but finally followed him.

The two figures seemed far and near, always separated by a little distance, but they seemed to be old friends walking side by side.

As they walked forward, not far away, in the yellow sand, a piece of ruins appeared.

It should be a city, with towering city gates and continuous city walls, all made of stones, extremely solid.

Stepping through the city gate, there are streets submerged in yellow sand and houses that look like ruins.

The desert wind blew, the yellow sand flew, and strange sounds rang through the ruined buildings.

It was like music, like howling, like confession, like sighing, touching people's hearts, and it seemed to be telling the glory of the past.

Chu Zhou really saw this once glorious city. He and the man walked in it. The desolation and ruins around gradually receded, and the complete outline of the building was revealed.

Magnificent buildings, some grand, some exquisite, full of exotic style, appeared in front of Chu Zhou.

It felt like stepping into a time tunnel, going to an unknown time in the past, and witnessing the glory here.

In a trance, living beings appeared in this city.

Some of them were in a hurry, some were extremely busy, some set up stalls on the street, and some shouted continuously.

Please note that Chu Zhou used the word "living beings", naturally because there are not only people here, but also monsters.

The human race is the so-called white slaves. Chu Zhou has seen them. They have fair skin, high nose bridges, deep eye sockets, and blue eyes.

The men basically have big beards, and the women are slim and have slender waists.

They seem to be the natives of this city, and there are many of them, but there are also many monsters walking on the streets.

Some of them sell furs, some buy with money, and there are bargaining.

Those ugly and tall monsters can actually bargain with people, and Chu Zhou is a little dumbfounded.

What's more valuable is that those humans don't show any fear when they see these monsters, but are used to it.

Chu Zhou was deeply attracted and couldn't help but ask: "Humans and demons coexist, where is this place?"

"Gaolan City! It was once one of the top ten cities in Bitui Province, famous for its developed trade and abundant goods.

At that time, there was a rumor that if you couldn't buy something in Gaolan City, you couldn't buy it in the entire Bitui Province, which was used to describe the complete variety of its goods."

Chu Zhou could feel that when the man said this, an inexplicable sadness came over him, and even the world was plunged into sadness.

They passed through the prosperous city and stepped out of the west gate. As far as they could see, the yellow sand turned into fields.

The wind blew the wheat waves, and the mature crops swayed with the wind. There were farmers busy in it, waving sickles and cutting off clusters of wheat ears.

This is not surprising!

Chu Zhou also saw human immortals and demons, also busy in the fields, using magic or sorcery, harvesting crops piece by piece, with extremely high efficiency.

Further ahead, they passed another village, and the curling smoke rose into the sky, and the aroma of food filled the air.

There were chickens and dogs chasing each other on the road, and children playing with their butts naked.

Chu Zhou saw this, pursed his lips, and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

The man seemed to feel something and accelerated his walking speed.

So, they passed through villages and towns, crossed rivers, climbed in mountains, and walked in forests...

Wherever he passed, the prosperity of life long ago was displayed in front of Chu Zhou, accompanied by the man's explanation.

“This is a mine. There were once three thousand human demon troops stationed here. Hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of spiritual stone can be mined every year, accounting for more than one-third of Bicui Prefecture’s total output.

Therefore, there is a name here, Wanqing Mine! "

"This river is called Broken Gold River, that's because there are gold reserves under the river, and when the sun shines down, it shines like little golden lights.

Once upon a time, there was a monster water palace here, where a dragon transformed from a carp was stationed. He had a bad temper but a kind heart. "

Chu Zhou asked: "Then what happened to him in the end?"

"Of course he died in battle!"

"This is the Canglang River, the largest river in Bicui State. It runs from north to south and has countless branches. It is unknown how many people and monsters it has nurtured.

Therefore, countless people and demons live here, forming large cities. "

"Four of the ten major cities in Bicui Prefecture are built around the Canglang River, and they have given birth to countless outstanding people and heroes."

“This is Caiyun Mountain, which is ten thousand feet high and is known as the No. 1 mountain in Bicui Prefecture.

There used to be three major demon mansions and two major human clan immortal sects here, which were the most prosperous.

It's a pity that all of this is gone! "

“This is Ten Thousand Woods Forest, can you imagine?

There used to be trees that were hundreds of meters tall and tens of meters in diameter. Their roots were so intertwined that they were innumerable. "

"If you are there, you can hear thousands of birds singing in unison, just like the sound of nature, which is intoxicating."

"This is also the holy land of monsters. Under the emperor's liquid, countless beasts have been blessed and transformed into monsters."

"There is also a name here, saying: Yuzhi Slope. Do you want to know why?"

"Yes, chalcedony is abundant here, crystal clear..."

"…………"

Chu Zhou was so vigilant that he had to think about every word this man said many times in his heart.

However, he really seemed to be taking Chu Zhou to appreciate it, walking and stopping, crossing mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and walking through forest cities.

He also explained to Chu Zhou the story of the years that happened so many years ago!

Gradually, even Chu Zhou became a little intoxicated, intoxicated by the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers, and intoxicated by the prosperous human fireworks.

He finally believed that this world of monsters was not born like this!

This Bicui State, a long time ago, was really green and full of vitality.

They didn't know how far they had traveled on this journey, and how many mountains and rivers they had traveled through. Time had no meaning at this moment.

Until, night falls again, and a full moon hangs high in the sky, as close as if you can touch it.

Under the moonlight, a bonfire was lit, and the flames licked the barbecue. The aroma of the meat spread, coupled with various spices, it was extremely tempting.

Chu Zhou was busy, but the man was watching, his eyes staring straight at the barbecue, his Adam's apple rolling, as if he was enduring a huge temptation.

Finally, at the moment of the full moon, the emperor's fluid splashed down, like a bead curtain descending from the nine heavens, filling the world with reflections.

This is also the most brilliant and pure moment in Bicuizhou.

The imperial liquid cleanses the filth in the world and suppresses the smell of decay and decay to a minimum.

However, when the emperor's fluid approached Chu Zhou and the man, it seemed as if there was an invisible barrier separating the emperor's fluid and hanging down along the edge.

Chu Zhou finally finished cooking the barbecue. He tore off a piece and handed it over.

The man took it, put it on the tip of his nose, and took a deep sniff, his expression full of satisfaction.

Chu Zhou finally spoke and asked, "You haven't said anything yet, who are you?"

The man raised his head slightly, smiled and asked, "Don't you already have a guess?"

Chu Zhou's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slowly: "Yes, I have already made a guess, but I don't know more about it!"

"Then tell me?"

"If my prediction is correct, you should be the master of this Bicui State, right? The Lord of the Secret Realm, the messenger of the ancient heaven, and the forerunner on the same road as me, right?"

"right!"

"But, I don't understand your current situation. If you were here, why would Bicui State become like this?"

The man smiled and said lightly: "Of course it is, I'm already dead!"

"The dead ancient heavenly messenger, the lord of the secret realm, is no longer able to influence this world."

Chu Zhou suddenly realized, but felt something was wrong: "What is your current state?"

"Dead, but not completely dead. There is still a residual soul struggling in this world, always unwilling to accept it!"

The man also made a very vivid metaphor: "Just like a mortal who dies and has deep resentments, he will turn into a ghost and create trouble!"

"What's more, a heavenly messenger like me, the master of the secret realm, a powerful immortal cultivator, even if he dies, he still has three methods left in his heart!"

"I see!"

This was an unexpected answer, but it also explained most of Chu Zhou's confusion. Looking at the man again, his eyes were much more complicated.

The dead messenger of heaven always makes people feel sad that a rabbit is dead and a fox is dead!

However, the man didn't accept his gaze and shouted, "Can you stop looking at me like that?"

"If you die, you will die. You have to be more open-minded in life. That's all!"

Chu Zhou nodded and said, "You have a good attitude!"

"Haha, I don't want to die either. I also want to live as long as the heavens. But now it's like this. What's the point of saying these things?"

"So, it's not about being open-minded, but accepting this fate."

"Just like the ancient heaven, it created such a great immortal civilization, allowing creatures to travel throughout many universes.

But so what?"

"It only lasted for 50,000 years before it fell apart."

"With the power of the great celestial master in the Lingxiao Palace, can he try to maintain the order of the ancient heaven?"

"I think he can, but what's the point?"

"The general trend of the world is that things that have been together for a long time will be divided, and things that have been divided for a long time will be together. It's nothing more than this!"

This is the perception of a senior. Chu Zhou nodded slightly and finally brought the topic back.

"So? So why did you die? Why did you linger after you died? Why did you let Bicuizhou develop into what it is now?

Most importantly, why did you come to find me?"

"Of course not, I came here to ask you for help, for this Bicuizhou, and for the human and demon races living here."

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Then I will listen to your story."

"No need to listen, just use your eyes to see, it's more real and more intuitive!"

As he said this, the scene around the man began to change. In a very small range, under the flushing of the Emperor's slurry, the surrounding scene began to flow backwards rapidly.

All the scenes changed until a big battle appeared!

A war between living beings and corpses!

One side of the battle was the union of the human race and the demon race.

As far as the eye can see, there are sword immortals flying away with swords, magic cultivators waving their hands and casting spells like rain, formation cultivators manipulating formation plates to change the world, and talisman masters who raise their hands to cast hundreds or thousands of talismans...

At that time, white slaves were not as lowly as they are now.

They were tall and straight, each with their own style, high realm, and strong strength.

And beside them, there were often demons guarding!

Those demons had strong auras and amazing magical powers, holding all kinds of exaggerated weapons, and accompanied the immortals of the human race, constantly charging and killing.

And their enemies were corpses, or zombies to be precise!

When people die, they do not decay, and their souls are trapped in their bodies, swallowing the yin energy of heaven and earth. Over time, they can turn into zombies!

And the screen was full of various purple zombies, white zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, and flying zombies, wandering zombies, and yakshas with wings spread on the sky. The number was almost exaggerated.

The two sides fought, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the sun and the moon lost their light.

To be honest, the human-demon coalition is more powerful. The magic power they learned is specifically effective in defeating the enemy, and it is amazingly powerful.

But among these zombies, there is also the terrifying Unchanged Bone.

His greatest ability is to command the dead and bring them back to life!

Even the dead humans and monsters can hardly get rid of this magic power. After turning into zombies, they fight with their former relatives and friends again.

Of course, these newly transformed zombies are the weakest, but who can blame the special environment of Bicui Province?

The Emperor's Flowing Liquid that fell from the sky is not only useful for the monsters, but also a great tonic for zombies.

So too, the two sides were deadlocked, and the war spread throughout Bicui Province.

Chu Zhou also saw the man in front of him fighting with the Unchanged Bone, with amazing means and fierce killing.

At this moment, Chu Zhou couldn't help but ask: "So, you were killed because you were defeated in the battle?"

"That's not true!"

The man's smile remained unchanged, but inexplicably it was a little bitter: "If I was defeated in the battle, I wouldn't be unwilling.

It's a pity that the following story is about loyalty and betrayal."
