One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 189: Hometown
Blessings, fate, these things seem illusory to Zhao Fuyun. He never believed in them before, but now he dare not say it.

There is a saying that no matter what it is, there is a price for it.

This sentence is difficult to understand, but to put it in easy-to-understand terms, a person's life is marked with a price on the black market, someone accepts the assassination mission, and then this person is killed, which means that this person's life is worth this price.

If it is not killed, it means the price is low.

Two people are in love, and if the lover is seduced away by ten spirit stones, then the love between the two is worth ten spirit stones.

Zhao Fuyun didn't know what the people from the astrologer sect had done, but he thought that they must have gained something from predicting the unknown and spying on fate. However, those gains were gained at the cost of almost destroying their sect.

Of course, spiritual practice itself is a great power.

Wherever there are high mountains, there must be places with depressions and deep ditches.

Therefore, the emergence of a great cultivator is bound to be accompanied by the inability of many ordinary cultivators to reach a higher level.

There is a saying that when one person becomes a god, ten thousand cultivators will be ruined.

When the head of Tiandu Mountain, Patriarch Xiyi, became a god, all the geniuses of his time were scattered. Although many of them could not be said to have a direct relationship with him, they had an indirect relationship with him.

"We originally wanted to refine a magic treasure to suppress our luck, but refining this magic treasure itself consumes our luck, causing the few people in our sect to decline quickly."

Zhao Fuyun listened to his words, recalling the moment when a yellow dragon rushed up into the sky with a dragon roar, and turned into a cloud of dust, blocking out the sky and the sun. And combined with this large formation, it could be said to be a perfect match made in heaven.

At this time, Che Chixing looked at Chunyu Yan, who was wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robe, and said weakly: "There are many people in the world who can practice, but most of them are just like fish and shrimps at the bottom of the river, and are like shells and snails. It is rare to see a golden carp jumping out of the gate. You sisters are obviously born in this Longqi Town, but you did not join our Astrology School. It shows that our Astrology School is indeed unlucky."

"It's a pity that a spiritual treasure is about to be completed, but no one has delivered it." Che Chixing looked at the three people, and his eyes, which had already lost their vitality, once again showed a subtle brilliance.

At this moment, Zhao Fuyun felt that the other party was spying on his fate. He did not fight back, because there was no need for him to fight back, as Che Chixing had already retracted his gaze, and his eyes became unfocused again.

In Zhao Fuyun's view, he was like a person who was about to die but was forcing himself to hold his breath.

This almost made him unable to recover.

After a long while, he finally said with difficulty: "Yan girl, are you willing to inherit the astrology school for me?"

Before Chunyu Yan could say anything, Huang Miaohua beside him said anxiously, "Grandpa Che, your astrology sect has been wiped out. Please don't harm us before you die."

Che Chixing was silent for a moment, and Zhao Fuyun wanted to test whether he was so angry that he couldn't breathe.

Chun Yuyan glared at Huang Miaohua and said quickly, "Grandpa Che, we are disciples of Miaotou Cave in Guye Mountain."

She didn't say anything else, but the meaning was clear.

Che Chixing said: "I just want you to help me find a disciple to inherit the astrology school."

"Grandpa Che, you don't explain clearly." Huang Miaohua said a little aggrievedly: "If that's the case, it's not impossible."

"Girl Yan, I'm willing to exchange this yellow dragon flag for your promise to help me pass on the astrology school, okay?" Che Chixing said weakly.

Before Chunyu Yan could answer, Huang Miaohua rushed to say, "Grandpa Che, don't worry, we agreed."

Che Chixing just looked at Chun Yuyan. Chun Yuyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa Che, you don't have to give me this precious flag. I can also help the Astrology School find a successor."

"There is no reason in the world to ask people to do things for no reason." After Che Chixing finished speaking, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but no sound came out. However, Zhao Fuyun could tell that he must be talking to Chunyu Yan.

Probably he was teaching the mantra for concluding and refining the dragon flag.

Zhao Fuyun just thought that the Yellow Dragon Flag was indeed powerful, but he didn't have the intention of snatching it.

Moreover, he was also clear that this yellow dragon flag had not yet been sacrificed. He didn't know what the spiritual treasure looked like, but the power it had just displayed was indeed very powerful.

Afterwards, Zhao Fuyun did not stand by and watch. Just now, because he was nearby, the other party did not want him to hear the incantation of refining the dragon flag, so he walked around in the town. Looking at the town at this time, it was dead silent, which was completely different from the peaceful feeling he saw when he came in before.

In the alley he passed before, the flowers, plants and trees that grew from the magical seeds had all died. As he walked past, he saw Simondine sitting on a bench in the house, with a vague look of fear on his face.

The house was dark. He did not go in to look, but just walked along the alley, in front of and behind each house.

Until the sun shone in from the east, the whole town seemed to come back to life.

He clearly felt that the whole town seemed to come alive in the sunlight, and those people seemed to have woken up from a long sleep.

People began to move in every room. He could clearly see that every person was lifelike. Zhao Fuyun's eyes were blazing with fire, but he could not see through these people. However, under Zhao Fuyun's gaze, these people turned around one by one and stared at him.

There was something cold and sinister in their eyes.

Zhao Fuyun felt like he had stirred up a hornet's nest.

At this moment, he saw clouds and smoke rising behind him again, and yellow dust was spreading. Faintly, all the houses were covered in the yellow dust.

He narrowed his eyes and found that there were many people walking towards him in the yellow dust. Zhao Fuyun felt that the aura of these people was somewhat terrifying.

At this moment, a female voice appeared: "The dragon is coming."

Following the shout of "The dragon is coming", fear appeared in the eyes of these people. They quickly returned to their rooms and closed the doors and windows.

In the midst of the yellow dust, two people walked out. They were Chun Yu Yan and Huang Miaohua, both with a trace of sadness on their faces.

Zhao Fuyun was certain that Che Chixing must be dead.

He also sighed in his heart. Birth, old age, sickness and death. People practice cultivation to get rid of them, but how many people can actually do it?

Even though many people have secrets to maintain their youth, they are not truly immortal. They just age more slowly. In the cultivation world, youth elixirs have always been in short supply.

He looked at the two women and said, "This town? It looks very mysterious."

Chun Yuyan exclaimed: "Yes, we come back often, but we didn't know that this town turned out to be a spiritual treasure."

"Lingbao?" Zhao Fuyun repeated in surprise.

"The full name of this town is Guisu Town, which symbolizes everyone's destination," said Chunyu Yan.

When Zhao Fuyun heard the name of this town, he was a little confused.

"This is a magical treasure that belonged to a great monk who had transformed into an infant a thousand years ago named Yan Guiling. He died in a great battle, and the magical treasure has been missing since then. I didn't expect it to be here." Chunyu Yan explained to Zhao Fuyun.

Zhao Fuyun had never heard of the name Yan Guiling, and couldn't help but wonder if his Aunt Qing knew him.

Huang Miaohua didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhao Fuyun from the side, as if to see if Zhao Fuyun felt unwilling or was attracted by this magical treasure.

However, she saw that Zhao Fuyun's eyes were pure from beginning to end, so she said: "We two sisters have each obtained a treasure, so this branch is for you." Huang Miaohua handed over Gan Jingchen's magic weapon, the Jade Wutong Branch. Zhao Fuyun looked at her and then at Chunyu Yan. Chunyu Yan said: "Fellow Daoist, please accept it. Our two sisters have gained much more than you. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely compensate you."

Zhao Fuyun took the green branch with a smile and said, "That's not necessary. This branch is already a great gain for me."

The green branch felt moist to the touch, and contained a rich aura of wood spirit. It was also entangled with various magical principles, making Zhao Fuyun feel that this green branch was also extraordinary.

Huang Miaohua beside him chuckled and said, "Then please ask Taoist Zhao to leave the town first and wait for me to collect this magic treasure."

Zhao Fuyun had no objection. He jumped up and walked out of the town directly, landing on a hillside far away from the town. However, he found that Chunyu Yan also followed him out and landed beside him.

Zhao Fuyun was somewhat interested that it was Huang Miaohua who went to collect the magical treasure.

Chunyu Yan probably sensed the surprise in Zhao Fuyun's eyes and said, "Grandpa Che originally wanted to give me both the Yellow Dragon Flag and Guisu Town, but I said that just the Yellow Dragon Flag was enough, so my cousin fought for it."

Zhao Fuyun sighed in her heart at the relationship between the cousins.

Chun Yuyan said: "This Guisu Town has a strange style, which I don't like, but I have that yellow dragon flag which is enough to protect me."

"The Yellow Dragon Flag has absorbed enough earth spirit energy here. It only needs the last opportunity to be promoted to a spiritual treasure. Next, my sisters and I will travel around, both to practice and to find opportunities to be promoted to spiritual treasures. I wonder where you are going?"

Zhao Fuyun was silent for a moment, then said, "I won't tell you where I'm going. I'm in trouble. If I tell you, you will hear it, and the heaven and earth will hear it too. If the heaven and earth can't hear it, the wind and the soil will hear it too, and they will tell others where I'm going."

"Okay, then, see you again if we're lucky." Chunyu Yan said.

At this moment, a small town in the distance was suddenly filled with dust, submerging the entire town.

Not long after, a figure flew out from the dust.

That person was none other than Huang Miaohua. She was blown by the wind in the air and landed beside Zhao Fuyun and Chunyu Yan.

Zhao Fuyun saw that she was holding a clay town in her hand.

It looks small, only the size of a palm, but the entire clay sculpture town looks very delicate, with houses scattered inside, exuding a mysterious atmosphere as a whole.

Zhao Fuyun looked at it for a few more seconds and actually felt that the clay town in her hand became blurry, making him dizzy.

He didn't look at it for long, but just said: "It is indeed a spiritual treasure."

Huang Miaohua was obviously very happy and said, "Of course, when our sisters' cultivation level improves a little and we are able to control this spiritual treasure, if you need to fight with others, we sisters will help you set up a large formation and see who dares to move."

"Thank you very much." Zhao Fuyun said with a smile.

Zhao Fuyun looked at the bare area and actually felt that the mountains and rivers were changing rapidly.

The three of them separated here, and Zhao Fuyun headed towards the northwest, where the Sixteen Kingdoms of Yanyun were located and where he was born.

However, when he was halfway there, he began to feel a little irritated, so he stopped and turned west, and the feeling gradually dissipated.

He then had a deeper understanding of the spiritual method of avoiding disasters.

After this spiritual disaster avoidance method was cultivated, it was like a passive ability. Combined with the magical power brought by the word "劫" in the Taixu Fire Disaster Talisman on his body, they complemented each other.

He headed due west to see the battlefield left behind after the great war between the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Unending Ghost Realm. It was said that the land there was scorched for a thousand miles, the red flames had lasted for a thousand years, and ghosts and evil spirits had not dared to enter for a thousand years.

However, no matter what the environment is, there will always be monks.

There are many monks who practice fire magic here, and they feel the mystery of the red flame here.

Zhao Fuyun also had another idea, which was to refine his Red Flame Divine Lamp here.

There is a golden crow bird on the red flame lamp.

Of course, the Golden Crow Divine Bird came from the depths of his own soul. Without saying it was a restriction, it could be said to be a transformation, or it could be said that the Golden Crow Divine Bird was actually himself.

He wanted to find spiritual flames to feed.

He felt that the spiritual flame could make the Golden Crow Divine Bird stronger and increase the power of his Red Flame Divine Lamp.

Going west all the way.

See a completely different landscape of the land.

Rough, vast, withered and dry are the characteristics of this West. He saw people grazing on horseback and digging holes in the ground to build houses.

At night, I saw a bunch of fires in the wasteland.

That day, he built a fire under a sheltered slope and roasted meat.

A father and daughter came riding on a horse each.

The father and daughter were both wearing sheepskin coats, with the white fur turned outside, showing that they had not been washed for a long time.

Their horses were one big and one small.

The pony obviously has not grown. The daughter is riding it, which is a chestnut color. The father is riding a big black horse with luggage hanging on it.

As it was getting dark, they also came to the slope where Zhao Fuyun was.

This place is actually a place where passers-by take shelter overnight.

They also came to a place not far from Zhao Fuyun and unloaded the luggage on the horses. The daughter kept looking at Zhao Fuyun.

Because she had never seen such a handsome man.

Her skin was tenderer and whiter than a woman's, and her hair was as clean as black satin.

She looked at the jade crown on his head and wondered how such soft hair could be tied up.

At this time, Zhao Fuyun was wearing the robes given to him by Han Xiufeng of Mount Li, which made him look mysterious and noble.

Even now, he was sitting there eating roasted rabbit, and it was still very pretty.

He sat there, looking out of place in this wilderness, like a purple flower tree in bud, about to bloom.

At least that's how it looked in the daughter's eyes.

　I kissed my fingertips. I finally wrote another 4,000 words. I used to look down on myself for being able to only write 4,000 words. Now, I want to say that being able to write 4,000 words a day is also very impressive.
