Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

...

It's strange. Logically speaking, as the place closest to fairy tales, the tourism industry here should be very developed in modern times.

And before entering the town and looking into the distance, you can see the mountains in the clouds and mist, under the sun, full of fairy spirit, flying birds far away, like a fairyland.

Such a beautiful place can be so deserted...

Most of the houses in the small town even retain the construction methods and materials of the past. Only the roads are thick cement roads that run through several main roads in the town. The other small roads are almost all huge stone slabs or gravel roads. Dirt road etc...

Lack of development...

Moreover, many old people entered the town and greeted those who were sitting in front of the door or busy, but there were not many young and middle-aged people. I am afraid they all went to work in big cities outside. These old people were very friendly. , maybe because they didn’t see many new faces from outside, the old people who gathered together to chat, play cards, etc. saw them and rushed to say hello.

There were some children who were curious and wandered around Long and the others, but they were afraid of strangers and did not dare to get close.

In the end, under Alicia's candy offensive, these children still approached them obediently.

In the end, even the village chief came. It seemed that there were really few outsiders coming here.

"Huh? This isn't the so-and-so from Fu Hua's house... who is Cheng Li?"

When they came to a place where a group of old people were chatting around the stove, an old woman who was the village chief came and recognized Cheng Lixue and hurriedly greeted them.

Everyone looked at each other and walked over.

The uncle and aunt gave up their seats by the stove for the three adults to sit, while Sister Ai and the others were playing with the children.

I'm afraid these children will remember it for a long time. There are four white-haired children, and they will never forget it even when they grow up (laughs, the author has real experience)

"It's Cheng Lixue, Cheng Lixue of Chengmen Lixue."

Cheng Lixue answered the old woman just now.

We all found out after chatting.

"Oh! Yes, yes, oh, you forgot about me when you were old and haven't seen me for a long time. Someone said that no one has lived in your old Fu family house for a long time. Why did your sister and you move away?"

Cheng Lixue blinked and realized that when she and Master Fu Hua lived in the old house in Taixu Mountain, they had not told the small village in the mountain that they thought the house was called the Fu family. Cheng Lixue couldn't laugh or cry.

He quickly said: "No, that's my master. Master is busy and has gone out. I also went to join the army, so I haven't been back for so long. Isn't this coming back again?"

The village elder's mother-in-law also sighed and said: "I can't help it, old bones. The road in Taixu Mountain is too steep and difficult to walk. My children and grandchildren took me here. Now they are all living outside. There are hundreds of villages in the mountains." Called."

After the introduction by the village chief's mother-in-law, the three of them understood why this place with such good tourism resources was so deserted.

Because the main peak of Taixu Mountain is on this side.

But since Immortal Red Kite ascended hundreds of years ago and was burned by a fire, the mountain road has become very difficult to walk. Tourists enjoy the beautiful scenery and enter Taixu, and are more willing to visit other less steep side peaks and sub-peaks... . Even the village in the mountain looks like a fairyland, close to the legendary residence of the Red Kite Immortal.

Several roads leading to the outside world are also crowded with people going that way, and there are very few people going this way... Young people have also gone out to work, and the remaining elderly and children cannot easily go into the mountains.

It was just acquaintances who went outside the villages and towns to buy and sell things.

Outsiders... It can be said that no strangers have come here for several months. People who come here for tourism also come here to see the majesty and beauty of the Taixu Mountains, and then leave to find other roads.

To develop a tourist route that can prosper the town on the most dangerous side of the main peak, the cost is beyond what their village can afford.

But...it can lead to the main peak of Taixu Mountain. It is said that the place where Immortal Red Kite once lived and the place where Xia Xia ascended can only be entered through this side. The peaks that can be reached in those places can only pay homage to the main peak. .

......

Later, the village chief's mother-in-law took them to see the villagers' houses and children's toys, which made Long deeply feel the love of the people at the foot of Taixu Mountain for the Red Kite Immortal, which has not diminished even after hundreds of years.

There are portraits in every household, although they cannot be real pictures of immortals.

Everyone has a clay sculpture of an immortal in their home. Even though it is a traditional Chinese seated statue, it cannot be authentic.

There are statues of mythical beasts in the shape of red kites on the roofs of every house to pray for protection from fire and evil spirits.

There are stickers of deities in front of the concierge to ensure safe entry and exit.

Wait, wait, there are too many cultural symbols about immortals.

The Immortal has not been here for hundreds of years...but it is as if she has always been there, protecting the land of China at the foot of Taixu Mountain...

It has such a status in the hearts of these people and leaves such a good reputation, whether it is Chinese or not...

Long and Alicia looked at each other and admitted in their hearts that the immortal did a good job, very good...

At least it's far better than the image of the fire-chasing moth in people's eyes.

If it's Hua...she works really hard...

Alicia thought of the girl from 5 years ago... I don't know how Hua spent her time in this era. There are also some figures in the immortal myth that were missing from the plan that should have accompanied her... If it is true If it's Hua...

It proved that she had once again lost a friend and partner in the long years... Alicia felt very sad when she thought of this.

So is Long, the two of them are almost spiritually connected.

However... he comforted Alicia and said:

"No...Hua is strong. She doesn't need us to feel sorry for her. That's an insult to her. She is a real warrior, a pure warrior. What she needs is recognition and praise."

"In the information, in the past in Chasing the Fire Moth...many people think that Hua has no self, just follows the crowd, is not a warrior, is not a hero, and is just a machine to realize other people's ideals."

"Alicia, if this Scarlet Kite Immortal is really Hua... I can only say that those people in the past saw it wrong and had no vision. Hua is silent and indifferent, like a fragile ordinary person. But She is definitely not someone who follows the crowd, she has seen all kinds of things in the world, she is a true warrior, a strong hero, a human being with [self]!"

Alicia smiled and touched Long's face and responded: "Yes, it was precisely because of this that we finally chose to let Hua carry out the Tinder Plan. She is a great girl who has experienced a lot and is a very good person. Awesome fighter."

After having lunch at the village chief's mother-in-law's house, we chatted with people in the village for a while to learn about the situation.Leaving food money for their mother-in-law, they also bought some supplies in the village under Cheng Lixue's guidance, which they used when hiking and camping.

Although Cheng Lixue also said that she had never walked this way, they still planned to enjoy the scenery of Taixu Mountain step by step and slowly climb up. This would probably take several hours, and it would be almost dark when they went up.

Otherwise, with the bodies of Yilong, Alicia, and Cheng Lixue, the four sisters could easily climb up and reach the old house where Cheng Lixue lived within half an hour.

Long grabbed the big bag and carried it on his back. He said goodbye to the village chief's mother-in-law and other elderly children who were reluctant to leave them. The seven people who were sightseeing in the town entered Taixu Mountain with great interest.

From the Old World: Chapter 53 The memory fragments in Yu Duchen

"Alicia, have you discovered two strange energy fluctuations scattered throughout the mountains?"

"Well, I feel a very familiar wave."

"I haven't used it, what is it?"

"It's the fluctuation of Yu Duchen and the key to control."

"The Keys of God are distributed like this in this mountain?"

Alicia nodded: "Well, it feels like the distribution is very regular. I think the people who installed it must have used this to suppress the collapse of Taixu Mountain and the surrounding areas."

The group of people walked along the dangerous road toward the mountain, and Cheng Lixue took the initiative to lead the way and explore the way.

In the middle are the children, while Alicia and Takashi are at the back.

The two also took the opportunity to chat about the information they felt in the mountains.

"The God Key absorbs Honkai energy, thus reducing the concentration of Honkai energy in this area... Hmm, not a bad idea."

After Long finished speaking, he looked somewhere and glanced at Alicia: "There is a fluctuation not far ahead. Go and take a look? I remember that Hua has hyperamnesia, right? I'm afraid she has fused the memories of thousands of years." The warrior's brain cannot bear it, so the best way is to transfer the memory to Yu Duchen."

Alicia's eyes lit up: "Yes, if it is Yu Duchen's clone and has memory storage, we can check who used it. Even if we don't, we can use it to locate Yu Duchen's body and find us. "

Lunda laughed: "As long as it's not the key to control, it's of no use to us... No, I can give it to Ellie for self-defense, or I can collect four of them for my daughters to use."

"Long is quite thoughtful~"

"Mom and Dad!"

"Wow! Mom and Dad, look, she's so beautiful!"

The voices from Love and Andina interrupted their chat and drew everyone's attention to the direction they were pointing.

No wonder they are so happy.

Under the sunshine and among the clouds and mist on the mountain, a group of geese flew towards the south in an orderly formation.

Even if the sun is not far from the horizon, it can serve as their background.

The presence of the sun and such strong colors cast a coat on everything, as if the outlines were blurred.

The wild geese drag out long shadows in the sun, and the shadows finally disappear into the clouds and mist that slowly rolls with the mountain wind. The birds and animals in the mountains also compete to "send" their own voices, blending into the majestic mountains, rocks, grass and forests. moss.

What Chinese people traditionally call beautiful scenery and fairyland with spirits is nothing more than this.

Long looked for an opportunity and found the source of the fluctuation.

This place is very hidden. It can be said that ordinary people have no chance to come here. A piece of red feathers float here quietly.

"Is this... the part of Yu Duchen... Past information said that Hua used it when corroding the Herrscher, but I have never seen it. It turns out to be like this."

"Ok?"

Long looked at his hand through the feather...it couldn't be touched, and...

He felt that the feather wanted to enter his consciousness at that moment, but he was automatically blocked.

However, without hidden thoughts, it is indeed easy for him to discover...

Long pondered for a moment.

"Let's just let it go...it's just this part, it can't affect me."

Long thought this way, looking at the feathers floating in front of him, he was curious whether it was placed by Hua.

With so many clues, we can almost draw a conclusion...but there is still one decisive piece of evidence missing.

And this possible evidence is now before our eyes.

He still reached out his hand, let go of his body and mind, touched the feather, and let it connect to his consciousness.

The picture in front of me became chaotic.

"you are?"

A figure covered in red and white clothes, with a gorgeous appearance but white hair and pink hair appeared in Long's field of vision.

Long was shocked.

"Hua? But this image? Hmm... Some elements of the folk portrait of the Red Kite Immortal are the same. Although the hair color is different, the appearance is still the same, it is Hua."

"Yu Duchen's differentiated feathers record part of her memory, making it normal for the external image to look like her."

"But this look? It seems to be far away from the other indifferent appearance and clothing of the immortal spread among the people? It is quite consistent with the portrait and description of the Red Kite Immortal left during the Eastern Expedition recorded in the destiny data."

"Another description of immortals circulated among the people... But the long hair and exaggerated robes are different from the image of this crimson and white hair..."

"Could it be said that... this image is closer to the appearance of Hua during the Tianming Eastern Expedition in the fifteenth century?"

"Does this mean that the memory of this feather was placed closer to the later stage?"

While talking to himself, Long gained control of part of the consciousness in the feather and read the memory fragments in it.

...

But he backed out after a few seconds..

He had gotten the results he wanted.

There is no doubt that Yu Duchen's master is Hua, and Hua is the so-called Shenzhou Immortal.

only...

Long looked at his hand. The golden energy wrapped around the feather and moved it into his hand, turning it into a small golden ornament.

The memories recorded in this part of the feather are very... ordinary...

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, unchanged.

I usually meditate and practice, and then I turn into that red look and go to slay demons...

It turns out that the two images popular among the people both look like Hua, but one is ordinary and the other is in a fighting posture..

The appearance of fighting has also changed a lot, compared to 5 years ago.

During the period of time recorded by Feather, Hua spent this time in silence...alone...there were almost no other people around her in the memory fragments, except for the few she could see when she went to destroy Honkai.

"Didn't Miss Li Xue say that Hua has an apprentice? Oh, right... After all, he is a mortal, not a fusion warrior like Hua. He can only occupy a place in Hua's long life. It is normal that this episode is not recorded."

"Cultivation of the mind...? But...the beauty in this memory..."

"Thousands of years have not been easy."
