One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 343 Chapter 344: Flower Lantern Market and Chance Encounter
The original night formed a kind of fog in the light of the lanterns. The fog could not cover people's eyes, but it could make people unable to see far. Zhao Fuyun looked into the distance and found that the light of the lanterns had turned into a fog.

Dreamy, ethereal, like a fairyland.

This is how Zhao Fuyun felt at this moment.

"What are you doing in our city? Do you want to buy lanterns?" Xiao Mo's legs were short and he couldn't keep up with Zhao Fuyun's steps, so he jumped and followed behind Zhao Fuyun.

Zhao Fuyun did not answer. In a short time, he had discovered that this was a chatterbox. He came here just to take a look at the social structure and cultural atmosphere here.

"Mr. Human, I know a kind of lantern that matches your clothes very well. It is also orange and has large petals. It is called the Big Orange Lantern Flower. It looks very similar to you. Apart from attracting some female monsters, it has no disadvantages."

"If you don't like it, there is also a long hair lamp that matches your hair very well. When you sit next to the long hair lamp, your long hair will naturally be tangled together, and you will look very loving. If you don't mind her laying eggs in your hair, your hair will grow into a long hair lamp in the future. In this way, you don't need to buy a lantern, because you will have a long hair lantern in your hair that will never fade..."

"I don't need to buy lanterns." Zhao Fuyun interrupted Xiao Mo beside him at the right time.

He knew that the other party didn't understand, so he waved his hand.

"What did you say? I don't know what you said, but your expression tells me that I guessed wrong. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the Flower Fairy from our Flower Lantern City? You came at the right time. The Flower Fairy has just reached the age of 300. It is time for her to reproduce. Everyone says that the Flower Fairy wants to find a different species to mate with. You are different from us, so I think she might be satisfied with you."

Zhao Fuyun didn't say anything, just waved his hand.

"Are you afraid that different species cannot bloom and bear fruit? We, the flower vines, can bloom in the bodies of any race and will never be separated from you. You don't have to worry about that." Xiao Mo said proudly.

Zhao Fuyun didn't want to waste his time, so he suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed forward, and said, "Look, what is that?"

Xiao Mo immediately looked in the direction Zhao Fuyun pointed, but he saw nothing. When he turned around, Zhao Fuyun had disappeared.

So he scratched his head, looked around in confusion, and finally took off his green leaf hat. There was actually a flower under the hat on his head, and the core of the flower was actually an eye. The flower turned and looked around. Zhao Fuyun was standing not far away, but he could not see him.

He immediately ran in one direction with his short legs.

After making sure that the short-legged Xiao Mo could not see him, Zhao Fuyun stopped paying attention to him and looked around the Lantern Market.

He has been walking in the polar night for about two or three years. This is not the first time he has known about Flower Lantern City, but it is the first time he has come here. As far as he knows, there is no so-called peaceful and safe place in the polar night.

Their existence is due to their strong self-preservation ability. He had passed by an underground village outside before.

The group of people living in the underground cave were quite hospitable. Perhaps they regarded Zhao Fuyun as a fellow tribesman. After all, when Zhao Fuyun discovered them, he used the Size As You Wish technique to shrink his body to the same size as theirs.

Out of curiosity, I followed a family into their underground cave and had a meal made from various grass roots and insect eggs. The taste was unexpectedly good. I learned that their son had secretly gone to the Lantern Market to see the lanterns and never came back.

They didn't go looking for them. They just said that no one who was taken into the Flower Lantern City could get out again because they were all turned into fertilizer.

So Zhao Fuyun also came here to take a look.

In this polar night, he discovered that the languages of different ethnic groups were similar and each had its own characteristics, but he was sure that they were all different. However, each of them had their own way of speaking that could make the other party understand them.

For example, in that cave, the other party picked up a little soil from the wall, dissolved it in water, and then applied it to his forehead. Then he was able to understand it, and through dialogue, he quickly learned it.

Now that he has eaten the flower bud, he can understand, but he cannot speak, so he just becomes a mute.

He looked around, the lanterns were hazy, and then walked towards a place where the light from the lanterns was the brightest.

This direction is exactly the direction from which Xiao Mo came.

Then he saw a huge flower. The light it emitted was like the sun. The flower was as big as a tree. Looking closely, he saw that the huge flower was made up of small petals, just like a sunflower.

He just stood there and looked at his surroundings.

Then I saw some turned-up soil on the ground, as if something was buried there.

At this time, an old lady in flowery clothes came out from the shadows nearby and looked towards where Zhao Fuyun was standing. She said, "Since the guest has come in, why are you hiding?"

Zhao Fuyun was a little surprised that the other party had discovered him. He immediately thought of the Zhiyu flower he had eaten.

It must be the scent of that Zhiyu flower that exposed me.

So he showed up and said, "I just don't want to disturb you."

The old man in flowery clothes looked at Zhao Fuyun with a twinkling gaze. When he heard what Zhao Fuyun said, he immediately said, "So you are a human from the White Land. It's really rare to meet you. Welcome."

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Zhao Fuyun asked curiously. Of course, he could understand why people here called the Great Zhou 'Bai Di'.

"A man from the White Land once came here, so I know." After saying that, she looked somewhere else. Zhao Fuyun followed her gaze and saw a man buried in an open space with his head exposed. Now tree trunks had grown out of his eyes and ears. The trunks were about one person tall and had a colorful flower blooming on them. The flower drooped like a trumpet.

"That person?" Zhao Fuyun frowned slightly.

"Yes." The old woman in the flowery dress said without any hesitation.

"He taught you the language of the Baidi, so you killed him?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

When the old man heard what Zhao Fuyun said, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, I didn't kill him. He was the one who said he wanted to marry the girl from our Flower Lantern City. After they got married, they got together and produced a new variety of flowers. If you don't believe me, go and ask him if he was willing."

Zhao Fuyun did not ask, but the old man shouted in order to gain Zhao Fuyun's trust: "Master Wu Heng, are you willing to marry the girl from our flower market?"

The colorful morning glory shook, and a voice came out slowly: "Yes."

"Are you happy?" the old man asked again.

"I'm so happy." said Morning Glory again.

"Why are you happy?" the old man asked again.

"Because I can live forever and absorb boundless energy from the earth for my practice." There was a hint of excitement in the sound of the horn.

Zhao Fuyun watched this scene. He didn't know whether Wu Heng was willing at that time, but it seemed that few people would be willing to do so.

"Do you want to marry our flower girl? I feel the strong blood in your body. I can also marry you. I think we will definitely be able to give birth to the most beautiful and brilliant flowers."

Zhao Fuyun shook his head and said, "I was just passing by and came in to take a look."

"Are you just here to take a look? Aren't we beautiful? You can choose any flower you like." The old man said a little disappointed.

Zhao Fuyun still shook his head. He knew that different races thought about things differently. In this strange world, there were strange races, and therefore strange behaviors and ideas.

"Did you find a crypt dweller who got lost and entered here?" Zhao Fuyun asked. "Crypt dweller? Are you talking about that one?" The old man pointed with his hand, and a root suddenly emerged from the fresh soil, with a small person wrapped around it.

"Yes." Zhao Fuyun said. Although he had never seen it, he still answered like this at this time.

"The blood of these underground rats is filthy, and the flowers that bloom with them will stink, so they can only be our nutrients." The old man said, "You go find him, and I will return him to you."

The corpse was placed lightly in front of Zhao Fuyun, and she looked very polite.

Zhao Fuyun sighed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in this world, the strong prey on the weak among the same kind, not to mention those who are not of the same kind, among them there are only those who can reproduce and those who cannot.

They have no likes or dislikes, and even when distinguishing between ugliness and beauty, they do so by judging whether or not they can reproduce.

Zhao Fuyun waved his sleeves, and a cloud of mist seemed to roll over the corpse in front of him like the wind.

In the old man's eyes, the corpse shrank rapidly and was absorbed into the orange sleeve in front of him.

During the two years of polar night, he had been constantly practicing the Taixu Qiankun Sleeve, and now he had truly mastered it.

Taixu's Dharma embraces everything, and the method of suppressing prohibitions is not only recited by him, but also embroidered with relevant symbols on his sleeves.

The moment Zhao Fuyun retracted his sleeves, the old woman saw that there seemed to be a cloud of mist in his sleeves, and the mist was glowing. She knew that this was Zhao Fuyun's magic power.

She couldn't help but look at it a few more times, because she knew that humans needed to practice their own magic, unlike them, who could naturally comprehend it as long as they lived long enough.

Many of the magical powers that are easily seen in some demons require humans to spend a long time to learn and practice.

Of course, this is also the advantage of humans. Any spell can be acquired through learning.

"I think I have seen the Flower Lantern Market. See you again if we have the chance." After saying that, Zhao Fuyun turned around and left. His pair of big sleeves swayed in the wind, and he looked so elegant and natural.

Zhao Fuyun formed the golden elixir and severed all past grudges. He felt relaxed and elated, but now he slowly calmed down.

But he is now very different from the calmness he used to have. Before, he deliberately suppressed himself, but now he is naturally relaxed.

He walked along the middle of the Lantern Market without hiding his body. What he saw the most were lanterns. In the shadows of the leaves under the lanterns, he saw some women standing there looking at him. He could feel a sense of greed.

But it was not out of malice, but a kind of greed for pleasure and love. He believed that these flower girls must want to combine with him, and then fill him in the soil and grow more beautiful flowers on his body.

Zhao Fuyun walked out of the flower market, but he didn't know that his presence attracted many flower girls in the market to come to the old man.

"Grandma, why don't you keep him? I feel his body can be used by many of us to combine with each other. Many flowers will surely bloom from his body."

"No, he'll burn you all to death."

The old woman said lightly that she also felt a hint of dangerous hot breath during the second half of the conversation.

Zhao Fuyun left the Flower Lantern Market and once again returned to the valley where the underground people lived. He found the family of underground people who had hosted him. With a wave of his sleeves, the corpse was lifted up by an invisible wind and fell to the ground.

In their eyes, a tiny mosquito-like black dot quickly expanded and finally became a little man.

"It's our child!" The caveman couple cried bitterly, and then thanked Zhao Fuyun, who waved his hand.

Life in the polar night is also emotional, and he can also feel the heaviness and sadness of life here.

Zhao Fuyun left. This time he bypassed the Hua Denglong City and headed in one direction, which was the Hesheng City.

He had never heard of Hesheng City before, and didn't know where it was. After entering the polar night, he asked around along the way and slowly outlined a route to Hesheng City in his mind.

Hesheng City is very famous in this polar night, and even those who have never been there have heard of it.

But the information he received was somewhat different. Some said that Hesheng City was an evil place, while others said that Hesheng City was a place for transactions.

Walking along a dry river bank, he knew that at the end of the river bank he would be able to see Hesheng City.

However, he suddenly stopped while walking because there was a silver light flying above his head. He saw that the silver light was white cranes, four of which were pulling a phoenix chariot flying in the air.

There was a woman sitting on the chariot.

There were more than ten white cranes flying around the phoenix carriage, and on each of them sat a woman.

"Hey, there's a human? Go and capture this human. It will be a perfect gift for Miss Yang from Baiying Building."

"Yes, ma'am." The other women surrounding the carriage responded in unison.

They patted the white crane's back and it flew diagonally, made a circle in the air, and flew towards Zhao Fuyun.

Zhao Fuyun stood on a mound on the ground and looked up at the sky. He was wearing an orange robe, which made him particularly conspicuous in the dark sky and earth.

While the white crane was still high in the sky, a net was cast down.

The net was full of a sense of confinement. When Zhao Fuyun saw this net, he instantly thought of the one in his treasure bag, because the two nets were very similar.

The net was snatched from Wu Weishan. At that time, he used the net to catch the little green dragon, and he came here on the orders of Master Feng Lei.

So could these two similar networks come from the same place?

This thought flashed through Zhao Fuyun’s mind.

As the net fell, his body suddenly felt weak and the net passed over his body without catching anything.

The woman on the phoenix carriage in the sky let out a soft "eh" and immediately shouted, "Come back! Let's go."

"Haha, no rush. I have something to ask you." Zhao Fuyun said loudly as he looked at the white crane soaring into the sky.

The woman on the phoenix carriage changed her expression. She looked down and saw that the person below was actually running on the ground. His steps were not big, but each step he took seemed to cover a very long distance. He was actually following closely below their flying white crane.

This is the magical power that appeared on Zhao Fuyun's second Nascent Soul after he refined it. He called it shrinking the earth into an inch.

　I'm standing up again, guys!
