Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The spring breeze is blowing and the clouds are floating in the sky. Another year has passed. Time cannot erase the past. Only a clear flute song can last forever!

"Brother Yixuan, what kind of instrument is that in your hand? Why have I never seen it before?"

On the ancient tree-lined road, Shen Yichen played a flute, the sound was melodious and lingering. He was not playing solo, the handsome pretty boy who was traveling with him was actually accompanying him, and he was playing with something similar to dice in his hands, which could be big or small.

The handsome pretty boy's name was Yixuan, and he didn't reveal his last name. It was the same character Yi as Shen Yichen's, which Shen Yichen had not expected!

"Brother Qingchen, this is called Tianxianglong, a little gadget of mine, it can't be considered a musical instrument!"

The handsome pretty boy Yixuan was looking at the flute in Shen Yichen's hand. That was the purple jade flute that Bai Yi Huanmeng gave to Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen finally decided not to take a detour and chose to go with Yixuan. He was a man of the world, and he couldn't always hide from others after entering the world.

After the two men left Fuqiu Town, they hurried for a while, and after entering the official road in the mountains, they played a song together. The song touched their hearts, and the two men seemed to be closer. However, they were both wary of each other, and it was just a tacit understanding between the two.

"Tian Xianglong, Brother Yixuan, this thing is not a small gadget, can you lend it to me?"

Shen Yichen said it very naturally. He was not only interested in Tian Xianglong, but this was also a test.

"No problem, Brother Qingchen. Your flute is also extraordinary. Can you lend it to me to play a tune?"

After Yixuan finished speaking, he threw Tianxianglong to Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen did not hesitate and handed the purple jade flute to Yixuan.

After taking a closer look at the purple jade flute, Yixuan started playing the flute by himself. The sound of the flute was light and cheerful, and the tone was lively and elegant.

Shen Yichen fiddled with the Tian Xiang Long in his hand. He couldn't understand how the Tian Xiang Long had grown larger without Yi Xuan using any power. And where did the sound come from?

After the pretty boy Yixuan finished singing, hundreds of birds sang in harmony in the mountains and the shadows of leaves danced lightly. Shen Yichen didn't notice all this. He seemed to be fascinated by Tian Xianglong.

The sky and the earth are dark yellow, life and death are yin and yang!

Shen Yichen observed and touched each word carefully. Shen Yichen was very sure that these were exactly the same words as on the Tianji copper plate, but he did not dare to use his power to investigate.

"Brother Qingchen, is there anything wrong with my Tianxianglong?"

The pretty boy Yixuan didn't expect that Shen Yichen would be so obsessed and absorbed in it. His long song had already ended a long time ago.

Shen Yichen knew that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly took the purple jade flute and returned the Tianxianglong to Yixuan.

"I'm sorry, I'm new to the world and I'm curious about everything!"

"New to the martial arts world? I'm afraid not. I'm the newbie!"

Yixuan kept tossing Tianxianglong between his hands and looked at Shen Yichen with a smile.

Shen Yichen didn't know what Yixuan meant by this, so he didn't respond. Instead, he put the purple jade flute into the blood-bone glass.

"Brother Qingchen, your storage bag is very unique. Where can I buy it?"

"This? Someone gave it to me. As for where I can get it, the friend who gave it to me said that the Bodhi Teardrops from Yanquan and the Moshe Spirit Bracelet from outside the domain would both be good!"

Yixuan was not surprised, but said jokingly:

"Is this ring a token of love?"

Shen Yichen was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about it this way. Maybe Ouyang Zhiqing had really meant this when she gave it to him.

Shen Yichen finally came to his senses. He nodded and replied softly:

"That's it!"

"This token of love is quite significant, Brother Qingchen. That woman must love you very much, right?"

Shen Yichen did not respond. He rode his horse forward and went to grieve alone. If nothing unexpected happened, Ouyang Zhiqing should have died. Shen Yichen didn't even know where her body was.

As for the blood-stained robed old man's claim that he could save Ouyang Zhiqing, Shen Yichen didn't believe it at all. Ouyang Zhiqing should be the same as Mei Yu, a murderous puppet!

Yixuan accidentally touched the wound in Shen Yichen's heart, and Shen Yichen suddenly realized that what's the use of purifying the heart? Love and hurt can't be cleansed, and that kind of silent pain is really just hidden.

You can stay away from the affairs of the world, but the love of the world is hard to forget!

At the Monument of Purifying the Heart, Shen Yichen suddenly understood that the sadness of the Dubei Zen Temple came from love, and what the woman in the painting wanted to purify was the love in her own heart.

Shen Yichen looked up at the sky with floating clouds, muttering to himself:

"Master, you actually have worldly love hidden deep in your heart. My love tribulation is caused by the sins you committed. You must bear the blame!"

Shen Yichen touched the ring on his hand and was thinking about the Buddhist beads. With the cultivation level of his master and the woman in the painting, how could their love relationship not be perfect?

"Could it be that even if one's cultivation reaches my master's level, there will still be shackles in one's heart?"

Shen Yichen's body shuddered for no reason. This idea was really a bit scary.

"Hey, Brother Qingchen, you are hurt by love. I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention. I was just curious about the ring!"

Yixuan looked at Shen Yichen, who was frowning in deep thought and dazed. He really didn't expect that Shen Yichen, so young, would be hurt by love!

"Brother Yixuan, excuse me for laughing. I just miss her. I don't know when I can see her again!"

"Would you like me to tell your fortune?"

Shen Yichen was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head to look at the handsome pretty boy Yi Xuan and asked in surprise:

"You, you also know the art of heavenly secrets?"

"I only know a little bit!"

The Tianxianglong that Yixuan was playing with in his hand was actually shining with colorful light.

Shen Yichen pointed at Tian Xianglong and asked doubtfully:

"Could it be that Tian Xianglong can tell fortunes?"

"How about Brother Qingchen give it a try? I don't actually know if it's accurate!"

Shen Yichen really wanted to give it a try, mainly because he was really interested in Tian Xianglong. Of course, he didn't believe the result!

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Yixuan!"

The pretty boy Yixuan pointed to a pavilion in front and said with a smile:

"Then give it a try, Brother Qingchen. You are the first person to use Tian Xianglong to tell fortunes since I entered the martial arts world. Right or wrong, belief or disbelief, it all depends on you and has nothing to do with me!"

Yixuan's words were very contradictory. His fortune telling said that it had nothing to do with him.

Shen Yichen didn't expect Yixuan to shirk responsibility first, he responded calmly:

"Fate is determined by heaven, and it certainly has nothing to do with Brother Yixuan!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan soon arrived at the pavilion, which was obviously a viewing pavilion. Standing in the pavilion, they could see the beauty of the distant mountains.

In the setting sun, the tops of the mountains are shining with golden light, showing the magnificence of the layers of green hills. The distant mountains are like terraced fields, one mountain higher than the other, staggered in an orderly manner, until they disappear in the clouds.

“I didn’t expect there would be such magnificent mountain scenery in Yanquan!”

Yixuan gazed into the distance from the pavilion, and he seemed to have forgotten about fortune-telling for Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen didn't feel anything. He had been looking at this magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers all day long on the Stargazing Mountain.

Shen Yichen looked at Yixuan's profile quietly. Under the light of the setting sun, it looked like a flower in bud or a lotus in the dew.

Yixuan turned around and saw Shen Yichen in a daze, and smiled slightly!

Hibiscus emerges from the water and blooms in bud!

When Shen Yichen met Yixuan's gaze, he hurriedly shook his head and muttered to himself:

"What's wrong with me? I've lost faith in love, but, but I can't have such thoughts!"

Shen Yichen let out a long sigh and looked up at Yixuan.

Yixuan was still looking at him with a smile, and her smile under the sunset really looked like a woman's face.

Shen Yichen shook his head again, not daring to look up, and said softly:

"Brother Yixuan, let's start!"

Yixuan handed Tianxianglong to Shen Yichen!

"Use your true essence to activate as many characters on the Tian Xiang Long as you can, and then place them on the table!"

Shen Yichen frowned slightly and took the Tian Xiang Long. He thought about it and prepared to input the attributeless true energy in his meridians into the Tian Xiang Long, so that he would not have to expose his own skills.

In fact, Shen Yichen was not worried about exposing his martial arts skills, he just wanted to try out the true energy in his meridians.

The true energy input by Shen Yichen quickly lit up the word "Tian", followed by the three words "Di Xuan Huang".

Shen Yichen didn't understand, but he didn't stop. However, when he highlighted the new words, Yixuan's expression changed!

Shen Yichen quickly lit up the remaining three words. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He placed Tian Xianglong on the stone table and looked up at Yixuan.

Yixuan was horrified, pointing at Shen Yichen and exclaiming:

“You, you are…?”
