Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Tuoliang City is a famous city in Manghuang. Although it is not large in scale, it is the only city that can be passed through when entering and exiting the Manghuang Mountains. The city is backed by the Manghuang Mountains, and a few dozen miles to the east is Manghuang’s famous inland lake - Daihu Lake.

Because Tuoliang City is located in Manghuang, it rarely rains. But in the morning, there were rare lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain, which lasted for two full hours!

The sky cleared up after the rain, and there was still a hint of coolness in the breeze. Shen Yichen looked at the words "Tuoliang" written on the low city wall, and felt very excited, as he could finally see the prosperity of the world.

Walking on the street, there were all kinds of shops on both sides of the road, and the goods were dazzling. Shen Yichen was a little overwhelmed. After the sudden rain, there were obviously many more pedestrians in the city, but Shen Yichen found that everyone avoided him when they saw him, and some even covered their noses with their hands.

Shen Yichen looked at himself and didn't find anything wrong until he saw a ragged blind beggar on the street corner. Then he realized that everyone thought he was a beggar. Shen Yichen didn't care about that anymore. He wanted to go to the restaurant for a big meal. Although he had no money, he had decided before entering the city that he would eat a free meal today.

Zuiyinglou, this is the one, it looks quite lively inside.

Shen Yichen swaggered towards Zuiyinglou. As soon as he reached the door, waiters on his left and right stretched out their hands to stop him: "Go away, go beg for food! Don't you know where this place is!"

Shen Yichen secretly used his true energy, glared at the two of them, and rushed in. Since he had decided to dine for free, he had to be more aggressive!

He walked up to the second floor and came to an empty table by the window, and shouted: "Serve the wine, waiter, bring all your signature dishes to me!"

After sitting down, Shen Yichen began to look around. The upstairs was full of diners. There were several tables of people who were probably cultivators. They looked like disciples from nearby sects who had come down the mountain to practice. Opposite him sat a middle-aged man in a blue shirt and a square scarf on his head. He was a little drunk at the moment, but he was still drinking one cup after another.

After a while, Shen Yichen's food and wine were all served. Shen Yichen thought to himself: "Sometimes people have to be assertive, even if it means eating a free meal!" and began to eat with relish.

When Shen Yichen was eating happily, the grandfather and grandson came up from downstairs.

The old man was an immortal master with white hair and beard. He was wearing a light yellow Taoist robe that looked a little gray. In his hand, he held a spiritual flag used for divination. The flag was golden but covered with dust. In the center was a Tai Chi pattern, surrounded by the innate Bagua diagram, and on both sides were written "Divide good and bad luck and know your destiny; know the secrets of heaven with a few words from the immortal"!

As for the little granddaughter, she was in her prime, with shoulders as sharp as a knife, a waist as stiff as a rope, a pair of fairy-like buns on her head, and a pair of big watery eyes that blinked. She was wearing a light purple dress that was slightly dusty. Although her clothes were simple, they could not hide her elegant and refined figure, and her charming beauty.

Both of them looked exhausted. The old immortal master had a kind look on his face, while his little granddaughter had uneven breathing, as if she had traveled a long way.

The two were really called "know-it-alls" by the cultivation world. No one knew their names or where they came from. In reality, no one cared about these little people. They were like wandering doctors, traveling all over the world to tell fortunes and tell stories. Strangely enough, the little girl could always tell the most secret news in the cultivation world. Maybe it was because they had been to so many places!

When the two went upstairs, Shen Yichen inadvertently saw the drunk man opposite turn his head and glanced, then lowered his head and drank heavily. Shen Yichen thought it was none of his business and just ignored it.

How could he have imagined that the little girl went upstairs and drank his tea first, ignoring Shen Yichen! Afterwards, the grandfather and grandson found a corner and sat down.

The little girl turned around and bowed, then began her opening remarks: "My dear uncles, my grandfather and I have traveled all over the country, telling fortunes and telling stories. When we passed through Tuoliang City, we didn't have much money left. I want to tell you some secrets of the cultivation world. I hope you can support me and chip in some money for the journey!"

The little girl's voice was as sweet and melodious as a lark, and everyone turned to look at the grandfather and grandson.

The little girl bowed and said, "The most secretive thing in the cultivation world recently is the message from Xuantian Pavilion!"

"Tsk, everyone already knew about it. God knows what this damn Xuantian Pavilion does. They spread some inexplicable and nonsensical words! Last time they said 'the world is in chaos, good and evil will be united', thirteen years have passed, and there has been no sign in the world of cultivation. This time no one paid any attention!" Someone said first.

The little girl hit a snag right at the start.

"Do you know the content of this message?" asked the little girl.

"When blood drips from the sky, the Demon Emperor will wake up. Everyone knows this!" someone shouted.

Shen Yichen, who was drinking and eating meat, vomited both the wine and the meat onto the table of a drunk middle-aged man opposite him. Shen Yichen stood up and apologized embarrassedly, but the drunk man ignored him.

"When blood drips from the sky burial, the Demon Emperor wakes up immediately. Isn't this what I just did a few days ago?" Shen Yichen said secretly in his heart.

"How could everyone in the cultivation world know about this? I haven't told anyone else, and Youyou has always been in my sea of ​​consciousness."

Shen Yichen looked out the window and talked to himself. He saw a woman with a white veil on her face downstairs of Zuiying Tower. She was wearing a light yellow gauze and jade silk dress. Her eyes were as beautiful as waves, her eyebrows were curved, and her hair fluttered in the breeze. With just a glimpse, the fairy figure was imprinted in Shen Yichen's heart!

"Then do you know what it means?" the little girl continued, little by little.

"Who cares what he means? Isn't the cultivation world peaceful and quiet?"

"Let me tell you, this matter is very serious. Someone has partially unlocked the seal of the Demon Emperor a thousand years ago!" After saying that, the girl looked at Shen Yichen intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing Shen Yichen staring out the window in a daze, the little girl looked annoyed.

"Is the Demon Emperor very powerful?" someone asked.

"The Mingmo Sect, which is now famous in the world of cultivation, is just a legacy of an inconspicuous organization in the hands of the Demon Emperor a thousand years ago. Can you imagine how powerful the Demon Emperor is?" said the little girl.

"It's so powerful, why is there no reaction from the cultivation world?" someone asked.

"Who said there was no reaction? That's just because you don't know. Do you know? The Ji family in Zhongzhou has already sent a large number of children to various places in the cultivation world."

"Did the Ji family send people to kill the Demon Emperor?" someone asked anxiously.

“I don’t know the details, but I heard that it seems to be related to the Ji family’s treasure, the Holy Dragon Golden Spear!” said the little girl.

It was the first time that Shen Yichen heard about the Ji family, and he kept it in mind.

"Moreover, the Ming Demon Sect has also sent a large number of people to enter the Manghuang Mountains in the near future. I don’t know what they are doing specifically! I guess it is probably related to the rumors about Xuantian Pavilion!"

Inside Zuiying Tower, when everyone heard the word Mingmo Sect, no one dared to say a word!

Seeing that the audience had fallen silent, the little girl quickly said, "Let's talk about the mysterious things happening nearby. Recently, there have been rumors that a treasure has appeared in Lingxu Mountain in Manghuang. I don't know if it's true or not!"

"The good and evil sects near Manghuang and a large number of independent cultivators are all rushing here"!

"Is this true or false? What kind of treasure is this?"

On the second floor of Zuiying Tower, after the storyteller girl finished telling the news about the treasure, everyone started talking about it.

"Friendly reminder, this news has just been released. You can still be ahead if you go now."

The little girl miscalculated. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone went downstairs.

"Hey, hey, hey, you haven't paid yet!" The little girl stopped the people coming downstairs to ask for money, but no one paid any attention to her. Some went straight to Lingxu Mountain, and some went back to the sect to report the news!

In the blink of an eye, the second floor of Zuiying Tower became deserted.

The little girl walked towards her grandfather in frustration, "Grandpa, was I too stupid today?"

"You have chased the people away, and I haven't even told their fortune yet! You girl," the old immortal master said speechlessly.

"Tsk, who would believe your fortune telling? Has it ever been accurate?"

The girl felt a little regretful after she finished speaking, because there were still two people in Zuiyinglou who had not left.

One was a drunken middle-aged man in a blue shirt who was drinking heavily, and the other was Shen Yichen who was eating and drinking heavily and was also a little tipsy, as if what was happening around him had nothing to do with him.

"It feels so good! I've never felt so good before!" Shen Yichen drank while taking big bites of the chicken leg!

The girl thought Shen Yichen was mocking her for getting rid of the people from Zuiying Tower, so she pointed at the two people who had not come downstairs in anger.

"Grandpa, tell fortunes for them both!"
