Panlong Wall

Jiang Yuanjin and Yin Jiyan walked leisurely for seven or eight days before arriving at Yuti City.Along the way, the two chatted about chores while watching the mountains and rivers.During the period, Yin Jiyan talked about his resurrection, Jiang Yuanjin only listened with a smile, without saying a word.When Wei Cangyu was mentioned, there was finally an indescribable unfathomable look in his eyes, his thoughts were wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But Yin Jiyan didn't pay attention, propped his chin, seemed to be thinking about it again, and murmured: "Wei Cangyu... must be a very powerful person, but I've never heard of it before." He turned his head to look at Jiang Yuanjin, "You Ever heard of him?"

Jiang Yuanjin paused for a moment, and said in a calm tone: "No."

Yin Jiyan didn't expect to find out anything at all, and continued: "At that time, I said that we met by chance. After hearing that, his expression was very strange. It looked like we should have known each other long ago, but I forgot. But I I really have no impression, but..." He hesitated to speak, with a troubled expression on his face: "I actually have a strange and familiar feeling towards him, or there should be some kind of relationship between me and him... Heh, I I know you sound confused, but I actually don’t know how to say it. Oh, forget it, if only I could know who the person who asked him to save me is, maybe everything can be clarified.”

"Well," Jiang Yuanjin responded indifferently, seemingly not very interested in the whole story of this matter.His eyes softened, he touched Yin Jiyan's head, and said, "Everything is a chance, and your life should not die. Just live well, don't think about it, what should come will always come."

"Ah."

It was noon, and the two were resting in a restaurant.This restaurant is neatly decorated and the dishes are of good quality and cheap, so the business is very prosperous. People come and go in the lobby, and there are no private rooms left for a while.

The two ordered a pot of tea and a few plates of pastries, and sat in an inconspicuous seat in the lobby.

Jiang Yuanjin sandwiched a piece of red bean cake and ate it in small bites.He saw Yin Jiyan who was sitting across from him stuff a whole piece of red bean cake into his mouth, chewed it roughly and swallowed it, picked up another piece, and swallowed it whole... Seeing the six trays of tea on the table, he was overwhelmed. Yin Jiyan ate one plate after another, his cheeks were always bulging.And Jiang Yuanjin still had the original piece of red bean cake on his chopsticks.

Yin Jiyan glanced at the empty plate in front of him, satisfied, leisurely picked up the teacup and drank a couple of sips, then looked up to see Jiang Yuanjin looking at him with complicated eyes between half a piece of pastry, and asked with confusion and concern: "What's wrong, can't eat? Is there any discomfort?"

"No," Jiang Yuanjin withdrew his expression, put the remaining half of the pastry into his mouth with a calm look, and said, "When did your appetite become so good?"

"I can taste the taste now! I think it tastes good, so I ate more." Yin Jiyan felt very happy, but also a little embarrassed.He suddenly thought of something, and his expression added a bit of embarrassment, "Oh, I'm sorry, I ate it all, aren't you enough? Let's order some more..." He raised his hand to call the waiter.

"No, I'm not hungry." Jiang Yuanjin smiled and held his hand.

"Really?" Yin Jiyan was dubious.After a while, he suddenly said: "You don't have money with you, do you?"

Jiang Yuanjin laughed and said, "What if I say yes?" He also pretended to be sad, "Actually, I have been squeezed out by Jiang Yangli and the others these years, and my life has been miserable."

Yin Jiyan naturally didn't believe him, but he waved his hand, patted the corner of the table proudly, and said, "It's okay, I have it! When I left Wei Cangyu's place, I picked a bag of Ye Mingzhu from the wall of his cave."

"..."

However, the matter of crowding out is probably somewhat true.For example, this time, whoever Jiang Yangli sent was not good, but Jiang Yuanjin was sent out, just to drive him away from the Yongsun Palace, and to prevent him from having a chance to form gangs and infiltrate the forces in the palace.Yin Jiyan said angrily: "But Jiang Yangli has long been disliked by him! We will beat him once we see him."

Seeing Yin Jiyan's serious appearance of gearing up, Jiang Yuanjin smiled heartily and said, "That day when he said that to you, you actually endured it and didn't do anything. To be honest, I was also very surprised."

"Don't always think of me as violent, okay?" Yin Jiyan glanced at him dissatisfiedly, rubbed his nose, sighed, and said, "Actually, I also want to beat him up, but with my current strength , I'm afraid it's not his opponent, if he beats you to the ground, it would be a shame."

Jiang Yuanjin's eyes moved, but she understood very well in her heart.

They have experienced countless difficult and dangerous moments of life and death. The strength of most opponents is either on par with them or better than them. He never picks the meat that is easy to eat.And Yin Jiyan was by his side, and he would never give up just because his opponent was strong. Even if he was much stronger than him, he would still find a way to gnaw at this bone.Even if he is not as good as before, Jiang Yangli has no chance of winning for him, but he chose to endure.The reason for doing that was probably because he didn't want to embarrass Jiang Yuanjin.

"Hit once we see each other, as you said. Next time we see each other, don't worry about it."

Yin Jiyan looked at his serious expression, a trace of smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "What if we can't beat him?"

"Isn't there me? I'll help you." Jiang Yuanjin spoke lightly, but there was a feeling of reassurance.

Yin Jiyan's heart warmed up, as if it was filled instantly.He no longer cared about Jiang Yangli's intentional anger at him that day, and Wen Yan reminded, "You don't know, his opposing sword is weird and not simple. It was because Jiang Yangli's own strength was not enough before, and that sword's The running-in is far from enough, so I caught the opportunity to break his sword, it must not be so easy now. By the way, have you seen him with two swords in these years?"

Jiang Yuanjin frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Of course there is. If I remember correctly, in the three consecutive Xianyi meetings, he used both obsession and hatred, and won the first place in a row. But I am not very interested in that kind of thing , the palace didn't let me go, so I didn't see it with my own eyes, let alone have the opportunity to fight."

The Xianyi Club is held once every three years, providing a platform for young disciples of various sects to have the opportunity to communicate and learn from each other. The grand sects are held in turn.In today's world, the famous big sects will basically participate in it, sending out their newly promoted elite disciples, and many small sects will also actively participate. Although it is basically hopeless to compete for the first place, this kind of opportunity is very rare, but Take it as an experience to increase your knowledge.

You can participate in the Xianyi Club up to four times. Jiang Qinghe went four times, and three times he stood at the end. The first time, because he was too young and inexperienced, he lost to the disciples of other schools who were in their prime.And since Jiang Qinghe left, Jiang Yangli stood at the top three times in a row, for which he has been proud for a long time.There will be another Xianyi meeting in a few months. If he can still stand undefeated, he will surpass Jiang Qinghe and truly secure the position of successor of Yongri Palace.

In the past 18 years, the limelight at the Fairy Games has been taken up by the Eternal Day Palace, and the number of monks who come to the Eternal Day Palace to learn from them has not decreased year by year, and it seems to be the trend of becoming the largest school.Jiang Yuanjin once told Jiang Qinghe about this matter.After Jiang Qinghe heard the words, he just laughed and didn't take it seriously.Most of the Xianyi Club are young disciples, and the older monks from various sects will naturally not come to compete with the younger generation, so even if the Eternal Day Palace is on the list, it cannot be said that the Eternal Day Palace is the best in the world.

As for Jiang Yangli's opinion, Jiang Qinghe raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "With all due respect, none of the Jiang clan has passed the eighth heavenly calamity and transformed into a dragon. …”

Jiang Yuanjin knew that he was just joking, and also understood the unfinished part of the second sentence, but he didn't say more.

"But speaking of weird things, don't you think there's something wrong with Jiang Shu's affairs?" Yin Jiyan said with restraint.

Now that they have entered Yuti City, the two have to think about their next actions.

Jiang Yuanjin pondered for a moment, and said: "It's not a very important thing that I didn't transform into a dragon immediately after the thunder disaster. Back then, I didn't transform into a dragon immediately, and it took two days. At that time, Jiang Yangli thought I was He failed and died."

"The strange thing about Jiang Shu is that the time between her sixth and eighth catastrophe is too short."

Yin Jiyan nodded and said, "Well, I remember, it took you more than five years to go from the sixth to the eighth level, right?"

"Yes. When I saw you for the first time, I had just experienced the Six Heavens Tribulation. But it only took her two years. It's too fast, there must be something wrong."

Jiang Yuanjin stared at the teacup on the table in a daze, without saying a word.Yin Jiyan stared at him, suddenly his heart moved, and he said after a while: "Isn't it possible, she also used your method..."

Jiang Yuanjin's expression changed, and he sighed: "At that time, I wiped out thousands of demons and ghosts, absorbed their souls and cultivation bases to fuel myself, and I had your help by my side... Ask yourself if you want to reach the level of the eighth heavenly tribulation, two Years are not enough."

Speaking of that experience, if possible, Jiang Yuanjin would not want to recall it, it was too sinful, too bloody, and there was boundless guilt and debt and gradually falling into the hesitation and sadness of feeling unable to extricate himself.But for Yin Jiyan, that period of time with Jiang Yuanjin is all he has experienced since he became self-aware, it is all his, the most precious memory.

He knew that Jiang Yuanjin was not happy, the sad expression on the other party's face was too obvious.Yin Jiyan gently wrapped his palms around one of his hands, conveyed a bit of comfort, squeezed out a smile, and said, "It is very likely that someone is helping her. Or maybe, there are some secret methods in Yuqing Palace that can help people." Improving your cultivation in a short period of time..."

Jiang Yuanjin calmed down, and held Yin Jiyan's hand behind his back, signaling that he was fine.He stroked the edge of the teacup with one hand, and slowly said while thinking: "Actually, I have thought about a possibility."

"What is possible?"

Jiang Yuanjin's eyes flashed: "Didn't we hear some rumors on the way here and during the time we entered the city?"

Yin Jiyan recalled it for a while, and said, "You mean, there are monks missing one after another in the sects near Yuti City?"

"Correct."

"You mean, Jiang Shu captured them and absorbed their cultivation souls?" Yin Jiyan frowned and asked, "Although human monks are indeed better than monsters and ghosts, they are easier to absorb and combine, but they must be touched. The Eightfold Heavenly Tribulation, it is far from enough to eliminate a dozen or so people in this area."

Jiang Yuanjin smiled suddenly, and said: "Among the members of the Jiang clan, there was once a person who did not reach the level of his own strength, but still triggered the coming of the Eightfold Heavenly Tribulation, and survived safely, but he did not take the form of a dragon."

"Ah? What's going on here?" Yin Jiyan wondered, thinking that this was very similar to Jiang Shu's situation.

"There are many forbidden techniques in the Eternal Day Palace, one of which is called reincarnation and death, which was created by this person. This technique is to take a few people who are similar to or better than yourself, and take out their souls to raise them. In your own body. When you are seriously injured and dying, transfer all the damage to the person who raised the soul. In short, it is to raise a dead ghost. This person has raised more than 40 living souls, and uses the spirit of gathering life , absorbed the aura from the spirit veins of the Eternal Day Palace to himself, made a false impression, triggered the catastrophe, and just survived 64 mysterious thunders." Jiang Yuanjin praised, "The spirit of gathering life can gather aura It is a very useful spell that can be used by oneself in a short period of time, and it will dissipate when it expires. But for the people of the Jiang family, there is a great risk. Lei Jie, that is no different from committing suicide. That person took advantage of this, and he was smart."

"Then what happened later? He probably wanted to use this method to survive the Nine Heavens Tribulation, right? There is only one person in the Jiang family who successfully survived the Nine Heavens Tribulation. Could it be him?"

Jiang Yuanjin sighed, shook his head, and said, "It wasn't him. That person did successfully trigger the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation later on. But..." He paused suddenly, with a somewhat hesitant expression, seeing Yin Jiyan asking urgently After thinking about it for a while, he said, "After the 81 mysterious thunderstorms, that person thought he could enter the heavenly realm from now on. Scourge, in the end, died under the... Nine Heavens Scarlet Sky Thunder."

"..."

Yin Jiyan was silent for a long time.Jiang Yuanjin looked at him with some worry, but saw him wryly smiling and waving his hands sadly, his words were all over, and he no longer cared about it in his heart.Jiang Yuanjin's eyes sank, and he knew that it would not be easy to get out of the shadow of that scourge, but he couldn't help him.

Yin Jiyan adjusted quickly, thinking: "Since there is a precedent, it makes sense. However, reincarnation and death were listed as a forbidden technique, so it must have been unacceptable at the time, so why not just destroy it back then? And how could Jiang Shu get the forbidden technique? What's more, she has been away from Eternal Sun Palace for so many years, and she has long been separated from the Jiang family. And Jiang Yangli and the others should also know about this, there will be no doubts, so why do you insist on it? Come here?"

"You have so many questions now," Jiang Yuanjin couldn't help laughing, and said with a relaxed expression, "The Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot high, have you heard that? There are so many heretics, how can you be willing?" Let this kind of technique be easily lost, and speaking of it, it is indeed a shortcut. The method I use to improve my cultivation is also heresy, and the murder is even more serious." Speaking of this, Jiang Yuanjin felt a little helpless.

"Do you know why Jiang Shu's mother left Yongri Palace?"

Yin Jiyan had seen Jiang Shu before. When he first went to Yongri Palace, it was when Jiang Shu's mother and Jiang Shi were arguing fiercely.But he didn't pay much attention to this matter at that time, he didn't know the inside story, only knew that Jiang Shu's mother, Jiang Yu, took her to cut off contact with Yongri Palace not long after.

"Jiang Yu is extreme, has her own opinions, doesn't want to obey other people's arrangements, does things ruthlessly, and insists on one thing to the end. Her way of cultivation is also not decent, and she only picks sideways and tricks. At that time, the whole Not many people in the Jiang family liked her, which caused countless conflicts. Do you still remember the change in the defensive formation of the Huanxing Pavilion? At that time, many people doubted her, and the elders also expressed their distrust. Perhaps this was the last straw that broke the camel's back, Jiang Yu refused to admit it, and broke up with the Jiang clan completely, and took Jiang Shu to cast elsewhere."

Yin Jiyan listened, and said: "According to what you said, I am afraid that the art of reincarnation and death is likely to be taken out of the Eternal Day Palace by Jiang Yu, and then passed on to Jiang Shu. I don't know what happened later, Jiang Yu died. Yes. Could it be that Jiang Yu left a last wish to let Jiang Shu pass the catastrophe according to that method?"

"I don't know about that. Although she is closer to Jiang Yangli's side, they were the ones who had the most intense quarrel back then, so it would be even more embarrassing to send someone else here at this time, and Jiang Shu might not be willing to meet. She When I was still in Eternal Sun Palace, my relationship with her was not bad, so it was reasonable for me to come. As for other things, Jiang Yangli knew the reason, so he would not have missed it. But Wu Zhiming and those people probably didn't I don’t know. The family ugliness should not be publicized, and the matter between Jiang Yu and the Jiang family was ordered by the elders of the clan not to be disclosed.”

Jiang Yuanjin took a sip of tea, and then continued, "It takes half a day to go to Yuqing Palace from here. Let's rest for one night and leave tomorrow morning. Everything will be discussed after meeting Jiang Shu."

"Well, that's all it can do."
