Panlong Wall

The howling wind poured into my ears, and what I saw was a land that was collapsing and sinking. The entire Qingyuan Terrace seemed to be sucked in by a huge vortex underground, and was dragged straight into the dark abyss.

The black dragon rushed out very fast.As long as they are a little slower, several people may be buried in the dust along with the collapsed land.Jiang Yuanjin kept as stable as possible to prevent the person on his back from falling.

Yin Jiyan was half lying on his back, half riding on his back, with his arms stretched out tightly against the hard and thick scales on his body.It was the first time for him to see Jiang Yuanjin transformed into a dragon, and he felt novelty and joy.He was very curious before, and discussed with Jiang Yuanjin to ask him to come and have a look.Jiang Yuanjin cast a glance at the restaurant where people were coming and going, and refused expressionlessly on the grounds that the influence was too great, which made Yin Jiyan very depressed.

Now, listening to Jiang Yuanjin's crooning from time to time, watching the black dragon's head soaring, and the dragon's body rising and falling, even in the dark night, he can't hide his arrogance.His heart was filled with the joy of getting what he wanted, and he completely forgot that they were obviously running for their lives, until he felt something strange on his hands, wet and sticky, and there was a faint fishy smell.He spread out his palm, and a blood red came into view.

Only then did Yin Jiyan realize that a lot of blood was oozing out from under his pitch-black scales.He was startled and panicked, and immediately shouted eagerly to the front: "You're hurt! Let me go!"

Jiang Yuanjin listened to him, found an inconspicuous and relatively safe place, put the person on his back down, and turned back into a human body.Yin Jiyan jumped to the ground, and hurried forward to inspect his wound, and found that although it was a flesh wound, no bones were hurt, but the wound was relatively large, so the bleeding continued.He felt distressed and blamed himself, why didn't he find out earlier, his eyes were slightly red.Neither of them had external wound medicine on them. Fortunately, Yin Jiyan still had the medicine bottle that Jiang Qinghe gave him last time.He poured out all the pills inside, stuffed them all into Jiang Yuanjin's mouth, then tore off a few bundles of cloth strips from the clean clothes on his body, and carefully bandaged his wound.

Yin Jiyan's bandaging was very skillful, as if he had done it many times before.The fact is also the same. In the past, Jiang Yuanjin often killed demons and demons together, and the number of times of physical injury is already countless.But whenever he wanted to help Jiang Yuanjin bandage the wound, he would feel the pain in his heart, wishing he could replace it himself.

When they were almost done, Bai Ying, who fainted at some point, slowly came to life.She looked at the two with a suspicious look on her face.Yin Jiyan seemed to have a feeling, and looked back, and suddenly found that besides the three of them, there was a headless body at the scene, with a bulging cloth bag tied around his waist. head?He didn't notice when Jiang Yuanjin brought it out, he thought to himself.Seeing that his complexion improved a bit, he still breathed a sigh of relief, pointing to the living and dead people over there, and threw out all the doubts in his heart: "What's going on? Who are they? And why are you Leave me alone!" The last sentence contained obvious complaints and dissatisfaction as well as a trace of grievance.

Jiang Yuanjin was helpless, knowing that he was wrong, so he roughly told him the whole story of what happened tonight.Of course he would not say that he purposely stunned him in order to break the formation, he just said that he wanted him to rest for a while, so he went by himself.

Yin Jiyan was naturally dissatisfied with his explanation, but Jiang Yuanjin obviously didn't want to say more, and it was meaningless to ask any more, so he focused on Bai Yingmei Qiansu and the others, and said with some sighs: "Unexpectedly, Jiang Shu and Mei Qiansu It will be such a result, and Bai Ying and the others will also suffer from it, all of this is due to Su Wuxiang and that shameless Shen Yingliang." When Shen Yingliang was mentioned, Yin Jiyan became angry. Call one.

"Su Wuxiang..." Jiang Yuanjin recited the name word by word in his mouth, his eyes were dark and deep, his face was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that his face was not looking good, Yin Jiyan couldn't help worrying, "You seem to be quite concerned about Su Wuxiang's matter?"

"No." There was no expression on his face, and there were no ups and downs in his tone, "I just don't understand. You said just now that she wanted to resurrect Yin Xuanyi. But as far as I know, Yin Xuanyi is the Nine Heavens High God of the Tianyu, with a noble status. He is not an ordinary little god Sanxian. Could his life and death be controlled by a mere reincarnation hall master? Even if he is the master of the underworld, if he is compared with Yin Xuanyi, his status is only considered equal."

"So you were thinking about this." Yin Jiyan was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know much about this. I don't know Su Wuxiang, but I just remember that she It seems that there is nothing that cannot be done. If she can say that, she must have her own way. You know a lot."

Jiang Yuanjin frowned, and wanted to say something more, but a weak voice interrupted: "You guys, know that person who pretends to be Master Han Zhenqing?"

The two looked at Bai Ying at the same time.She was sitting against the tree trunk, with her legs bent, one hand resting on the ground, the other hanging on her knees, her face was still pale, at this moment her face was between her face and Jiang Shu's, making Jiang Yuanjin Some strange.She opened and closed her dry, bloodless lips: "What is that formation? Why is it so powerful in the end?"

Yin Jiyan suddenly felt that the situation in front of him was a bit familiar. When he was in Qingluan Pagoda, the maid who guarded the pagoda asked him the same question.He subconsciously turned his head towards Jiang Yuanjin, seeing that he was also looking at himself.He has never mentioned this matter, if there is anything else that Jiang Yuanjin does not know about, then this is the only thing left.

He moved his lips, closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind, took a deep breath, and began to speak: "That was a long time ago. At that time, I didn't have my own consciousness, and I didn't have much perception of the outside world. All I know is that Yin Xuanqi joined forces with Su Wuxiang to seal the bones of the ancient dragon god in the human world. Su Wuxiang set up a main formation and three auxiliary formations, and it was Yin Xuanqi who sealed the formation at the main formation at the end. Logically speaking, this sealing formation method, Only Yin Xuanyi and Su Wuxiang can open it."

But there was an accident, which Yin Jiyan didn't mention.As a spirit suppressing object in the main formation, Yin Jiyan himself can also open the seal after being resurrected.However, the premise of everything is that the spirit-suppressing objects in the main formation must be destroyed before the auxiliary formation can be uncovered. Otherwise, even the person who set up the formation will not be able to summon the auxiliary formation to appear.This is the uniqueness of Su Wuxiang.In addition to this point, there is also the fact that when the formation is broken and destroyed, it will cause a strong cave and mountain shaking. If you don't pay attention, all the people who broke the formation may be buried in it.

Originally, everything was perfect. There was a barrier in the Hanging Valley, so that foreign objects could not enter, and the force of nature could not touch it. The Soul-Suppressing Stone would exist for thousands of years.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jiyan would be wiped out by Jiuxiao Chilei in the sky thunder calamity, and the main formation was broken unexpectedly.Speaking of why the punishment of heaven appeared at the end of the catastrophe, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Being sealed for such a long time, the spiritual power contained in the keel must have been absorbed by the formation, so there will be such a big reaction when the formation is destroyed." Jiang Yuanjin said slowly.

"Dragon God... bone?" Bai Ying asked blankly.

Yin Jiyan was silent at this time.Things that he hadn't thought of before suddenly came to mind after recalling the past that he didn't know how many years ago.

The most honorable ancient dragon god in the realm of heaven and nine heavens, whose flesh and blood were ripped apart, sealed in the human world for nearly 2000 years, his name is Cangyu.

No wonder, he would say that to himself, and look at himself with that complicated and unspeakable eyes.

Yin Jiyan didn't know how Cangyu survived and why he lived in the human world.When we met last time, it seemed that he was not in a good condition. Yin Jiyan could hardly feel the spiritual power that the dragon god should have on him, only a little scattered spiritual energy, most of which came from his back. elongated cysts.

The Dragon God, who once summoned the wind and called the rain and was aloof, has now fallen into such a situation.It was his master, Yin Xuanyi, who caused all of this.And Yin Jiyan, as an accomplice, guarded and sealed him for thousands of years, even though it was not his own will.

But Wei Cangyu saved himself.Obviously, as long as the three auxiliary formations are destroyed, his keel can be liberated, and his situation must be better.Yin Jiyan couldn't figure out the reason, and Wei Cangyu didn't mention it. All the reasons were tied to the mysterious person among them. Unfortunately, Wei Cangyu kept his mouth shut, and he had no way of knowing.

"Yes, Dragon God, Cangyu." Yin Jiyan sighed.Seeing Jiang Yuanjin's eyes filled with shock, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, "I just remembered that that dragon god is Wei Cangyu, no wonder I feel an inexplicable connection with him, after all, I caused him to be killed." Locked for nearly 2000 years."

Bai Ying was a little excited, and said: "Why do you know this, and what does it have to do with Su Wuxiang?"

Her tone was not kind, full of suspicion and distrust, and it was very uncomfortable for others to hear.

"We have nothing to do with her." Yin Jiyan said angrily, "Believe it or not, anyway, it's none of my business."

Jiang Yuanjin was still kind: "We won't harm you, otherwise we wouldn't have brought you out."

Bai Ying was speechless for a while, paused, frowned and said: "I think Su Wuxiang colluded with Jiang Shu to break the seal. But since it was set before, why do you want to open it now? Could it be that she is planning some kind of conspiracy in her heart?" ?”

"Jiang Shu was used by her. After seeing the end, Su Wuxiang didn't intend to let her live. Speaking of which, she is also a victim." Jiang Yuanjin couldn't help but said.But he knew in his heart that this defense was so weak that even he couldn't fully accept Jiang Shu's actions. This path was indeed chosen by her herself, and the consequences were so serious, he didn't expect Bai Ying to able to forgive.Not blindly blaming and letting Mei Qiansu rest in peace, this is the last thing he can do for Jiang Shu.

Bai Ying obviously couldn't forgive and accept it. When Jiang Shu was mentioned, her tone would still involuntarily be filled with hatred.

"As for Su Wuxiang, although we don't know her well, we still want to tell you that she is not something you can deal with at all, and I'm afraid she can't be dealt with by any sect. Her goal is not Yuqing Palace, so this matter should be considered over. It's gone." Jiang Yuanjin looked not far away, the lights were getting brighter, the voices of people were noisy, and there was a mess.He continued: "The most important thing now is to appease the disciples in Yuqing Palace, and to find a way to make people feel stable. The area around Qingyuan Terrace has been seriously damaged, and we have to make a decision whether to abandon or repair this place. I I heard that you were the most admired and valued disciple of the former Palace Master, and you won the hearts of the people. At this time, it might be better if you come forward. By the way, find a time to bury Mei Qiansu's body. I heard that he is from the Yang Cultivation Sect Disciple, you know him, it is up to you to decide whether to send him back to the Xiuyang Sect or to be buried on the spot."

Bai Ying pursed her lips tightly, her complexion was not very good, her expression was very serious.In the blink of an eye, she saw Mei Qiansu's body lying not far away, and thinking that he also died innocently, a wave of powerless sadness rushed into her heart.She took a deep breath, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and forced a smile, looking very desolate, with endless helplessness and regret in her words: "Before this, Jiang Shu has been suppressing me, and she did not hesitate to use vicious means to weaken me. My soul, such a long torture, has done a lot of damage to my soul body, and I don’t know how long this body can last. Even if I go, I won’t be able to help much. At most, I will go back and explain some things. This confusion is only temporary. Yuqing Palace has established a sect for over a hundred years at least, with a deep foundation, and there are still many seniors with high morals in the sect, they will deal with it."

Jiang Yuanjin heard that she seemed to have the intention of leaving, and couldn't help asking: "Then what are your plans for the future?"

Bai Ying pondered for a while: "After explaining the matter, I need to go back to Bai's house in Pingyang City."

"Pingyang? Isn't the Bai family in Yuti City?"

"Yes, most of the Bai family's family foundation is indeed in Yuti City," Bai Ying explained, "There is a other house in Pingyang City, which is specially built for the monks of the Bai family. The monks of the Bai family all worship under the Xiuyang sect, so it is more convenient to communicate with the family."

"It seems that the friendship between your Bai family and Xiuyang faction is better."

"Naturally, I'm also going to the Xiuyang School this time, and I'm looking for someone to help refine a kind of elixir, which is good for the injured soul and can reduce the pain." Bai Ying looked at Yin Jiyan and said, "I see that this son's soul body has also been damaged. If you don't mind, why not come with me and repay the kindness of saving your life just now. I also thank you for bringing Mei Qiansu out and giving him a chance to rest in peace."

Yin Jiyan has returned to normal, but this time it took a little longer to transform into his true form, and he just went through a fierce fight, so he is actually not feeling well right now, and his head is a little dizzy.After hearing Bai Ying's words, he subconsciously said, "I'm fine, nothing's wrong..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yuanjin interrupted: "Is there any chance to recover?"

Bai Ying shook her head, raised her arm that was resting on her knee, and the black sleeve slipped off, revealing a hideous scar: "The damage to the soul is permanent, just like the scar from the lightning strike, it will stay with this body for a lifetime Yes, it cannot be eliminated in any case, unless it is completely reborn. Medicine and stone spells and the like will only make me linger for a few more years." She sighed for herself for a moment, and said to Yin Ji, "However, you do not belong to the human race. I don't dare to say for sure, that medicine may have a different effect on you."

Jiang Yuanjin didn't evade, and said directly: "That's fine, we'll just go with you and treat you as an escort back home. If you need help with the elixir, you can also ask me."

Bai Ying didn't say much, and nodded, "Thank you then."

Bai Ying asked them to go back to their residence at the foot of the mountain, while she returned to Yuqing Palace. The two sides made an appointment to meet at the foot of the mountain the next morning.

On the way back, Yin Jiyan asked, "Is there anything to do in Pingyang City?"

Jiang Yuanjin froze for a moment, then gave him a strange look: "Ask for medicine, didn't you just say so?"

Yin Jiyan was slightly surprised: "Just... just for me?"

"Who else can it be for?" Seeing him like this, Jiang Yuanjin laughed and said, "The matter about you is my big concern right now, and nothing else is important."

Yin Jiyan saw that he spoke without the slightest hesitation, and he didn't seem to be joking at all. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.But he also told the truth: "Even Wei Cangyu can't do anything about my situation, and I can only take care of it slowly. I'm afraid most of the general panaceas are useless. Besides, I'm really fine, and I won't die for a while. You really don't need to worry."

Jiang Yuanjin still insisted, saying: "It doesn't matter, you can always try, and there is nothing else to do now, you just think we are going to visit the mountains and rivers to relax. We haven't traveled together just for the mountains and rivers for a long time."

He spoke sincerely, his eyes were clear and clear, and Yin Jiyan felt a warmth flowing through his body, dispelling the coolness of the autumn night.

Since his rebirth, Jiang Yuanjin treated him as well as before, but it was different from before.This change is not obvious, Yin Jiyan can only vaguely feel that he is different from before.

Jiang Yuanjin was more gentle than before, more compliant with himself.In the past, Jiang Yuanjin was reserved and introverted. Even if the two were together, there always seemed to be an indescribable sense of alienation, as if there was a layer of impermeable paper lying between them, which made him unable to see clearly.Jiang Yuanjin has a plan and a purpose in everything he does, and he says the same thing, even if Yin Jiyan sometimes feels dissatisfied and quarrels with him, he can rarely reverse his decision.

But now, that layer of paper is gone, and there is undisguised emotion in his eyes, straightforward and hot.He originally thought that Jiang Yuanjin would not agree to some things, but he always relied on himself, put himself in the center, and traveled only for the sake of traveling, which made him a little flattered and almost in a trance.

But, despite this, one thing has not changed.

Jiang Yuanjin had something to hide from himself, and he was aware of it from the beginning to the end.

If Jiang Yuanjin didn't mention it, he didn't ask.He thought, when the right time came, maybe the other party would tell him, just like tonight, when he told his thoughts.

"Don't you need to go back to Yongri Palace to explain Jiang Shu's matter?"

"Jiang Shu's matter, the news from Yuqing Palace will reach Yongri Palace in a few days, I will send a message back first, and I will explain it myself later." Jiang Yuanjin said, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. On a small piece of paper, I wrote a few lines on it with my hands. Naturally, the handwriting would not appear without ink, and Yin Jiyan didn't know what he wrote.After he was done, he folded the piece of paper into the shape of a small bird, and with a swipe of his finger on it, there was a flash of golden light, and the paper bird flapped its wings and flew up, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

This is one of the methods used by disciples of Eternal Day Palace to pass messages to each other. Paper is special, and female disciples prefer to use it. Most male disciples and seniors think it is too petty, so they hardly use this method, but basically every Everyone can.

But Jiang Yuanjin doesn't care whether he likes it or not, it's just that he just happened to have it on him.

Not long after, the sky suddenly became golden again, and within two steps of the two of them, a small paper bird flapped its wings and flew towards them.

Both of them were taken aback.

"...Why so fast? Or did it fly back?" Yin Jiyan was puzzled.Generally speaking, this method of transmitting news would take a day according to the distance between Yuqing Palace and Yongri Palace.

"Maybe it's other news." Jiang Yuanjin caught the little paper bird, squeezed its head with two fingers, and the golden light disappeared instantly.He unfolded the letter paper, glanced at it, then frowned, turned the paper into a wisp of powder, and said: "It seems that we have to go to Pingyang City this time."

"what's the situation?"

"It's Xuan Yangyang. She said that Zhou Mo was held hostage by the red fire vine demon in Pingyang City. She traced all the way to the psychic valley. Before entering the valley, she sent me the news that she wanted us to help."

"Zhou Mo was taken away?!" Yin Jiyan was shocked, "Red Fire Vine, the name sounds familiar..." He racked his brains to search in his mind, and suddenly said, "Fire Spirit Phoenix Nest! Red Fire Vine Growing up in the Phoenix Nest of the Fire Spirit... No! It's too dangerous, they can't even go to the Tongling Valley, let alone the Phoenix Nest!"

"Don't panic," Jiang Yuanjin reassured him, "Xiao Xuan is much more capable than you think, Wu Zhiming didn't accept her as his apprentice because she is pretty and cute, she has very good aptitude, much better than Zhou Mo. Let's take a rest first, and wait for Bai Ying to come early tomorrow morning before setting off, and go directly to the psychic valley."

Yin Jiyan wanted to say something, but thought that Jiang Yuanjin was still injured and needed to rest, so he agreed.

On the second day, Bai Ying arrived very early, but saw that Jiang Yin and the two were ready to wait for her.She was slightly surprised: "Is there something else for you?" Her face was still pale, as if she hadn't slept all night, she was carrying a bundle, riding a horse, followed by two horses, both of which were thousands of miles away.

"Let's go on the road first."

After listening to the explanation, Bai Ying nodded and said: "So that's the case. I know there is a faster way to the Spiritual Valley, so let's go there."

Jiang Yuanjin was a little worried about her body.Bai Ying seemed to know what he was thinking, smiled lightly, and said: "I'm not in the way, it's just like this anyway, it can't be any worse. I don't dare to sleep too much now, I'm afraid I'll just sleep to death like this. Besides, usually I had planned to go to Linggu, to find a few things that would be useful in refining medicine."

"What? If we see it, we can take it by the way."

"Coincidentally, among the items needed are the roots of the red fire vine, as well as the antlers and blood of the crystal weaving grass, the seven-spirited flower, and the weeping-needle spirit deer. The red fire vine and the spirit deer love heat, and they appear in the Phoenix Nest area. And the crystal weaving grass and the seven-spirited flower like cold, and grow in the snowy area on the other side of the psychic valley. We can divide into two ways. If you go to Fengchao for business, if it is convenient, I can help you. I will go to the snowy area to find the other two things .”

"Are you going alone? It's not good, the environment there is harsh, and you are like this now..."

"It's okay, I will send a message to the Bai family and ask them to go directly to the snowy area to pick me up. You just do your own thing first, and you don't have to force yourself to find things. Anyway, the Bai family is not short of manpower, and sooner or later they will be able to find them all." of."

"Okay," seeing her like this, Jiang Yuanjin could only agree, and asked again, "By the way, what did you say at Yuqing Palace? Such a big thing happened, how could they let you come back so soon? "

"What else can I say, of course I'm telling the truth," Bai Ying said with a weary look on her face, "You don't know, because the earthquake was in a relatively large area, and Jiang Shu's residence was also affected. Half of the wall and roof collapsed, revealing the In a secret room, more than a dozen charred corpses were found inside.

Almost unrecognizable.However, some people still think of the unresolved disappearances in Yuti City over the past year. After careful inspection, some details of ornaments that were not completely burned were found, and the identities of several deceased were roughly identified. Naturally, they all disappeared inexplicably before. man of. "

Bai Ying said indifferently: "I don't need to hide what Jiang Shu did for her. She is the current Palace Mistress, and things about her must be explained clearly to the elders of Yuqing Palace. But about Su Wuxiang and Shen Yingliang, it is inevitable I didn't say anything about the extra problems. I also covered up your appearance later."

"Hey, it was pitch black at that time, and Jiang Yuanjin was dressed in black, how could he still be discovered?" Yin Jiyan wondered.

Jiang Yuanjin supported his forehead: "There is a dragon chant..."

"Oh..." Yin Jiyan thought to himself, if he saw Jiang Qinghe in the future, he would tell him that even if it was a black dragon flying in the sky at night, he would be discovered, how stupid.

"Of course the matter will not end like this. I only went to see the current Acting Palace Mistress, and it took a lot of effort to convince her to let me go back temporarily. If there is still a need in the future, I still have to go back to Yuqing Palace .”

"Thank you very much." Jiang Yuanjin nodded to her, and inadvertently glanced at the package behind her, which seemed to contain heavy items.He said: "Mei Qiansu's body..."

Hearing this, Bai Ying involuntarily stroked the knotted part of her chest with one hand, and her complexion turned pale again: "I thought about it, Qian Su has been in the Cultivation School since he was a child, and he regards it as his home. , So, I decided to take him back to the Xiuyang Sect to bury him."

"Then what's on your back is..." The package outlines the shape of two spheres, and it is quietly attached to Bai Ying's thin and straight back.

"It's Mei Qiansu and...my own ashes, cremated overnight."

Bai Ying's last words were very difficult to say, they were so light that they could hardly be heard when the wind blew.It fell on the hearts of the two of them, but it was as heavy as a thousand catties, making people feel heavy and dull.For a moment no one answered.

Both of them knew that there was a jar of ashes that Bai Ying couldn't put down for the rest of her life.She will always remember the feeling of walking with her ashes on her back.
