Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

At the top of Cangyu Peak, the sun is shining brightly in the sky and hot winds are blowing on one's face. In the circular pool, the water surface is clear and round, and a newly grown colorful fairy grass is swaying in the wind.

The three people and the monkey were surprised and curious, so they turned back to the circular pool.

The young man whispered: "No wonder the formation didn't change, there's actually a seven-colored fairy grass hidden under the water!" At the same time, he also felt regretful for his reckless escape just now, secretly blaming himself in his heart, "What's wrong with my brain, why did I want to escape? Mistake! Mistake!"

"Hey, hand over the seven-colored fairy grass quickly!" The black-clothed girl shouted loudly, interrupting the boy's self-blame.

"Why are you so fierce? Don't forget that the magic herb is still in my hands, and I am the only one who can get another colorful magic herb!" The young man looked at the girl in black with dissatisfaction.

Looking at the fairy grass in the boy's hand and the fairy grass in the pool, the girl in black swallowed a breath of grievance and said softly: "I'm not fierce, I just spoke a little louder!"

"Well, you really don't have breasts!" The young man looked at the girl in black playfully and said with a smirk.

The girl in black didn't seem to react, and repeated: "I'm really not vicious!" Looking at the boy's gaze, her face flushed.

"You bastard, I'm going to beat you to death!" After saying that, a black palm wind rushed towards the young man.

"Hey, it's just a joke, it's really just a joke, don't take it seriously," the boy shouted while dodging.

"It turns out that the rumors in the world are true. There really are two plants of yin and yang in the seven-colored fairy grass," the old man in green said to himself.

"Miss, stop making trouble. Picking the seven-colored fairy grass is more important!" The old man in green shouted to the girl in black who was chasing and beating the boy. The boy and the girl in black stopped chasing and beating after hearing the voice and came to the pool together.

The black-clothed girl glared at the boy, who was so scared that he ran behind Xiao Ling'er. The black-clothed girl muttered, "How did I make a fuss? Can't you see that I was really hitting him?" A hint of shyness flashed across her brows.

"Uncle Sun, what's going on? How come there are two seven-colored fairy herbs?" the young man asked the old man in green in a low voice.

The black-clothed girl raised her head and glared at the boy again, thinking to herself, "You think you can call me Uncle Sun?"

This time she had wronged the boy. The boy did not want to take advantage of her. Before he spoke, he considered what to call her. Senior? Hero? Old man? None of them seemed appropriate. He could only follow the black-clothed girl and call her Uncle Sun.

Sun Bo had no idea what was going on between the young man and the black-clothed girl, so he replied in a deep voice, "It is rumored that the Seven-Colored Immortal Grass is one of the most magical plants in the world. Each of its colors represents a natural disaster it has experienced, such as rain, snow, ice, thunder, wind, fog, and cloud. Without any of these disasters, the real Seven-Colored Immortal Grass will not be formed. Moreover, the Seven-Colored Immortal Grass is a combination of yin and yang, with yin containing yang. As for its miraculous effects, I only saw one sentence recorded in the sect's classics - the Seven-Colored Immortal Grass can change any innate constitution in the world. I don't know the rest. After all, no one has seen the Seven-Colored Immortal Grass since the great battle between good and evil a thousand years ago. The two of us have been walking in this world for nearly six years, visiting countless famous mountains and rivers, strange peaks and dangerous places, but I didn't expect to see it here!"

The young man asked in confusion: "Doesn't that mean this grass has gone through seven heavenly tribulations?"

Sun Bo shook his head: "It's not a heavenly calamity, it's the most severe natural disaster in nature! It's very different from the calamity we cultivators go through to become immortals!"

"According to what you said, the one in my hand should be the yang plant among the seven-colored fairy grass, and the one in the pool should be the yin plant, right?" the young man asked again.

"Yes. It should be!" Sun Bo answered truthfully.

"So how do we use this grass? Eat it directly? Or refine it?"

Sun Bo shook his head and said, "It is said that after the seven-colored fairy grass was formed after seven natural disasters, it became spiritual. Those who are destined to get it will naturally know how to use it!"

"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore. It's a rumor on the left and heard on the right. That means you can't be sure of anything. You just know that it's called Seven-Colored Magic Grass!" the young man said angrily.

When Sun Bo heard this, he was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

"Then you can be sure whether you need yang plants or yin plants, right?" the young man said helplessly.

"Nonsense, of course it's a Yin plant." The black-clothed girl said loudly, and then whispered, "I'll use it!"

"Who are you? You are so enthusiastic about eating grass!" The young man muttered softly, and the girl in black glared at him secretly.

"It seems like you are determined to get it. There is no way you will let me leave with the Yang plant alone!" the young man sighed helplessly.

The girl in black asked back: "What do you think?"

"Okay, since you didn't try to snatch them just now, I'll help you get the Yin plants in the pool. Let me make a deal first, I've helped you, and now we'll go our separate ways, and you're not allowed to think about the Yang plants in my hand"!

"Okay. It's a deal," the black-clothed girl said firmly.

The young man followed the original method of breaking the formation and easily took the colorful fairy grass from the Yin plant in the pool. He generously handed it to the girl in black and said: "You owe me a big favor!"

Before the girl in black could say words of gratitude, both Sun Bo and the boy's faces changed. The boy pulled the monkey, and Sun Bo dragged the girl in black, and they fled to the east and west respectively!

"You bastard, I want Mu Qingxue, what's your name?"

"Ji Yichen!"

With a loud bang, the boy's last name was drowned in the sound of the explosion. The circular pool formation lost its hub, and the shocking aura of the earth veins rose into the sky. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and Cangyu Peak collapsed in the wind and rain, shattered into pieces.

Ji Yichen fled towards the Guanxing Mountain without looking back. The roar behind him made his heart pound. Xiao Ling'er was on his shoulder, calmly eating wild fruits picked from somewhere, with a smug look on her face.

Roars, lightning, thunderstorms, and violent storms lasted for a very long time. When everything calmed down, Cangyu Peak had been razed to the ground. Two people appeared on the original site. They were Mu Qingxue and Sun Bo. Looking at the devastation, they felt sad!

"Ji Yichen, Ji Yichen!" Mu Qingxue called out loudly. Among the empty mountains, there was no trace of the young boy Ji Yichen and the monkey Xiao Ling'er.

"Uncle Sun, they should be okay, right?" Mu Qingxue seemed to be asking Uncle Sun, but also comforting herself.

"Ji Yichen, a member of the Ji family in Zhongzhou?" Sun Bo did not answer Mu Qingxue's words, but spoke to himself.

"The Ji family in Zhongzhou, the leader of the righteous path?" Mu Qingxue asked puzzledly.

"Who else could it be except there?" Sun Bo said calmly.

"But..." Sun Bo did not say the rest of the words, but thought to himself: "How could someone from the Ji family appear in the North Abyss?"

Mu Qingxue murmured: "How could he be from the righteous Ji family? How could he be a righteous person..." The voice drifted between heaven and earth, and the person disappeared without a trace.

Stargazing Mountain.

"Master, Master, I'm back. I found something called Seven-Colored Magic Grass. Come and see what it is good for."

On the way back, Ji Yichen gave the colorful fairy grass from Yangzhu to Xiao Ling'er. Xiao Ling'er said she didn't want anything and kept gesturing that it was hers. Ji Yichen didn't refuse and hurried back to Guanxing Mountain to find the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest was still in meditation, so Ji Yichen had no choice but to return to his residence.

That night, in the Star Observatory, the aroma of tea filled the air, and the old Taoist priest raised a half cup of tea.

"Xiao Ling'er, you did a good job today!" After saying that, Xiao Ling'er jumped down from the top of the Observatory, bowed and nodded to the old Taoist priest, and even looked proud.

The old Taoist priest walked slowly to the outside of the Observatory and looked up at the starry sky.

"It took a thousand years for the seven colors to become an immortal, and the love between Yin and Yang has already been tied. Is this love a bad fate, or a love fate..."

Alas, with a sigh, it disappeared between heaven and earth.
