"grumble!"

Amid the terrified sound of birds, two figures hugged each other fell into the fog between the cracks on the earth, falling all the time, as if they were about to reach the Jiuyou of the Yellow Spring.

The whole body was covered with fog, and it was even difficult to tell whether it was rising or falling.

Even Shangguan Lingye's mind showed nervousness in the void that could not be seen and could not escape, which pulled Zuo Lingquan behind him, with his body in front of him, facing the incomprehensible danger ahead.

Zuo Lingquan used his left hand to hold Shangguan Lingye in his arms, with a long sword in his hand, and he was also cautious in sensing the surroundings.

Fortunately, there was no indescribable thing in the fog; not long after the decline, the two finally fell into the fog, and what appeared before them was a more bizarre scene.

Mountains and rivers move, and the universe is inverted.

The two fell into the cracks of the earth, but when they came out, they were in the clouds. They looked around and the earth and mountains turned into fragments, floating up from the horizon and fell into the clouds.

In the clouds, there were also yellow sand and gravels falling as the rainstorm fell, hitting the earth in front of you, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. I am afraid that this scene is what I meant.

The broken earth, under the illumination of thousands of thunders, can be seen towering ancient trees on the earth, and some nameless little beasts are running away under the shaking of the earth. You can even faintly see the ancient palace covered with vines, as the rocks collapse, occasionally leaking out the eaves.

But looking around, there are no signs of human movement on the earth, and there are not even large animals. It seems to be a small world that has long been dead for humans and is completely collapsed.

Zuo Lingquan held Shangguan Lingye and fell with the heavy rain, trying to control the water flow to stabilize his body; but the land of Jiuzhou tore up the small world, and under the aftermath, even the space began to be unpredictable, let alone relying on the magic of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

It feels like I have entered a magic-sealing sword formation that is even bigger than the sky. The magic is difficult to control. Even if I take action, it turns into a wild horse that is out of control. It is impossible to judge where it flies.

Shangguan Lingye wanted to control the wind, but after using his magical powers, the two began to spin in the air, and they almost threw Zuo Lingquan out of the sky and went up and down. In the end, they gave up controlling the world. The two of them followed the flow and fell freely to a river on the ground.

thump

Water splashes in the surging river.

Zuo Lingquan was worried that the water was not safe, so after falling into the water, he grabbed the breath-holding dumpling, jumped to the shore, and landed on the grass where he could feel the aftershock.

Shangguan Lingye followed closely behind and stood beside him, soaking in rain. He wanted to dispel the water vapor by the snap of his finger, but he randomly called the spiritual energy, which may bring a chain reaction in this unstable world. In the end, he chose to take out a flower umbrella, hold it on top of his head, and spoke:

"This place is bigger than expected. If it is completely integrated with Central China, it will probably take half a month."

Zuo Lingquan looked around. The sky was covered by thunder and clouds. He could only rely on lightning to identify several meters in a radius. From time to time, he could hear the roar of the mountain slope. He wiped the rain on his face, stood under the flower umbrella, and asked:

"How do you get out now?"

"The heaven and earth have not yet been fully integrated, so I can't figure out the direction. It's best not to fly around. Wait until it stabilizes before leaving, and find a safe place to stay first."

"Jiji!"

The dumplings that were soaked into a chicken stood on Zuo Lingquan's shoulder and pointed their wings in one direction. As if it was saying:

"Walking south, birds are the kings of the southern mountains. When the sky collapses, birds and birds are holding their backs."

Although Zuo Lingquan couldn't understand the meaning, he could feel the sense of security brought by confidence from Tuanzi, so he didn't say much, took the umbrella over, hugged Shangguan Lingye's shoulder and walked south.

The action of hugging the shoulders is natural, and combined with the scene of destroying the world, it really makes me feel like a mandarin duck in the end of the world.

Shangguan Lingye focused on the surroundings, noticed this small movement, glanced at Zuo Lingquan's expression calmly, and saw Zuo Lingquan also observing the surroundings, as if he was subconsciously doing it, so he didn't say anything, just pretending that he didn't notice it.

Tuanzi's perception of the changes in the world was much more sensitive and intuitive than the two of them. He used his wings to guide Zuo Lingquan, walked along the banks of the Wuming River for several hours, and finally turned to a fairly intact mountain.

The peaks are very high. Under the thunderstorm, the top of the mountain has poked into the clouds. You can see some buildings vaguely, but they are all very old and dilapidated.

The bluestone road up the mountain is still there. Although you can feel the vibration of the heaven and earth, you can feel it very little on the mountain, just like the mountain is the sea-stabilizing needle of this small world, stabilizing everything around you.

"This mountain should be Zhongyue. Optimus Prime in this place will not collapse normally. It will probably emerge from the sea of ​​sand and become a new fairy mountain in the future."

Shangguan Lingye walked along the stone path in the mountains, looked at the overall Feng Shui weather of the mountain, and said:

"I don't know if the mountain roots are damaged. If the mountain roots are intact and successfully merge into the veins of Yuyaozhou, they may become a barren mountain and a Feng Shui treasure land like Fulong Mountain, but it will be a pity that it will fall into the territory of Zhongzhou..."

Zuo Lingquan didn't know much about Feng Shui, so he focused more on the remaining ancient buildings on the mountain.

I don’t know how many years this place has been isolated from the world, and its architectural style is very different from that of the contemporary era. I can only roughly see that it is a sect of practice.

The name of the sect is no longer verified, but you can see some murals and stone sculptures on the stone wall next to the road up the mountain.

Zuo Lingquan swept away the vines on the mural with his sword. After careful examination, he could roughly see the meaning of the mural:

The world was initially in chaos and vastness, and by chance, Yin and Yang were born, and then gradually gave birth to the five elements of the world and even all spirits in the world.

When the world first came into being, the five beasts of heaven and official positions such as the Qinglong and the White Tiger were born due to luck. Later, the earth collapsed and divided into nine continents, and each continent gave birth to small five beasts of heaven and official positions. This mountain is located in the center of Yuyaozhou on the mural, and a large-horned deer stands on it.

Zuo Lingquan saw this and was a little confused, so he spoke:

"The Lord of Middle Earth shouldn't be a Qilin? How could it be a deer?"

Tuanzi was also very interested in murals. Before Shangguan Lingye could speak, he posed as a round phoenix spread his wings as if he was quick to answer, which should be "Aren't birds also phoenixes?"

Shangguan Lingye’s meaning is similar to Tuanzi, but the example given is the previous lord of the south:

"The five beasts of the little heavenly officials are all descendants of the five great gods. The peacock who used to steal the elixir was just stealing the elixir. After becoming the lord of the south, he controlled the power of the phoenix, but he still looked like a green-headed peacock."

"oh……"

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly and looked at Tuanzi again:

"If the dumpling becomes a big phoenix and its appearance remains unchanged, wouldn't it be..."

"It turned into a colorful big dumpling."

"grumble?"

Tuanzi shook her head quickly and signaled that she would not have such a sexy fur. She had always been a white Tuanzi and would only grow up.

These trivial chats are just off-topic talk, and Zuo Lingquan continued to look at the murals.

After the Big Horned Deer settled down on this mountain, a group of mortals who sincerely worshiped him came, and the Big Horned Deer was enlightened and established this sect.

The murals behind depict the major events experienced by the sect. Most of them are killing demons and eliminating demons and clearing the world. They even saw the traces of the soul gathering banner. At that time, there were four words "Divine Messenger" on it.

The sect has experienced many years of ups and downs. Later, one day, a crack appeared in the sky of Jiuzhou, and an indescribable demon fell into the world. In an instant, the water in Jiuzhou boiled and corpses spread thousands of miles away.

This sect joined forces with the people on Jiuzhou and drove away this group of alien tourists at a price of not saving one hundred times, but soon there were new enemies, tearing open the space and descending to Jiuzhou.

It was unknown how long this bloody and dark history lasted. Almost all the murals were reincarnated again and again in this environment of foreign invasion. Until a Taoist priest appeared in Huajunzhou, holding a sword and cutting off the sky and the earth.

The long-lasting mural ends here, and the two of them also walk to the mountain gate.

The towering mountain gate on the mural, which originally housed a statue of a qilin, had already collapsed, leaving only a base full of moss and withered vines.

While Zuo Lingquan was still thinking about the meaning of the mural, he saw that there was a painting engraved on the base of the statue, which was different from the mural on the mountain road. It should be closer to this year. There were a few sects standing under the statue of the big-horned deer god, watching the ground with grass growing and flying birds flying.

On this land, there are no demons that have caused trouble to the Nine Continents, but there are no peak immortals who can roam the Nine Continents.

The tombs on the earth seemed to indicate that the once immortal guardians of the Nine Continents died in these peaceful years after the heaven and earth were cut off. Even the glorious sects that lasted for countless years gradually withered, leaving only two or three children.

But there is no sadness or regret in the portrait. The red sun falling in the sky has the significance of ending this ancient sect, but it seems to be telling the descendants who saw these murals:

Although we are all dead, we have left a world of endless life and know that the sun that you see in the sky will always fall, not another demon that ravages the world, so we can die without any worries and die as far as possible.

Zuo Lingquan stood in front of the collapsed statue base, and after a long silence, he sighed:

"If what the mural says is true, then the current land of Jiuzhou is indeed a fairyland on earth."

Shangguan Lingye had more feelings and said softly:

"In history, there are many seniors who sacrificed their immortality for the people. Not to mention the distant future, the battle to steal the elixirs alone killed countless ancestors, many of whom did not even know their names. Of course, what these seniors asked for was not to let us remember the names, but to hope that we understand where the nine sects are now, and like the master, we will spend our whole life to maintain this hard-earned security."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Lingye shook his head and sighed again, and walked into the old sect that had already withered:

"It's a pity that we only know this great truth. Without the experience of Master, it will be difficult to maintain the great perseverance that Master has never changed his original aspiration for thousands of years. For example, if you choose between me and the people, which one would you choose?"??

Zuo Lingquan was sighing at the experience of this ancient sect. Suddenly, he heard this question, and obviously hesitated. He wanted to answer, but found that no matter how he answered, he could only say:

"I have to protect all the children."

"Hmph~"

Shangguan Lingye shook his head:

"You and I can't make a choice, and I can't make that heart. But if it were the master, she would stand with the people and die with you afterwards, and even send you away if necessary. I also want to be a person like Master, but unfortunately, the closer I get to you, the further away I get from my former ambitions. The land of gentleness is a hero's tomb, which is indeed not a joke."

“…”

Zuo Lingquan knew that this topic was very heavy, and Shangguan Lingye opened his heart and revealed his true feelings, and clearly stated that he valued him more than all things in the world.

But the last sentence still sounds very strange. It seems that who is the gentleman and who is the hero is the opposite.

Zuo Lingquan thought for a while, put his hand around Shangguan Lingye's waist, hugged her in his arms, looked back at the cracked earth in the sky, and spoke:

"These things are something that men should consider. When that time comes, I will know how to choose. If you, a daughter, be honest as my home. If one day you need to make a dilemma between me and the people, it means that my sword is in vain and I am not worthy of living until then."

This sentence is very domineering. Although the gap between the realm is a bit big, Shangguan Lingye felt a little funny, but she still cooperated to be a little woman, hugged her chest, slightly tilted her head and leaned on Zuo Lingquan's shoulder, and said softly:

"It's good to have this ambition. If it were me, I guess I would choose you. What does the life and death of the people have to do with me? This idea has already been a sign of being possessed by the devil. I want to stop the horse, but I can't make up my mind."??

Zuo Lingquan was originally quite moved, but his last sentence made him feel something was wrong. He held a flower umbrella and covered Shangguan Lingye's head, looking at her side face:

"How can this be considered as a demon? This is human nature. How do you plan to stop your horse? You can't break up with me."

"I still miss you when you break up with friendship. If you want to completely cut off your love but tie it up, you have to kill your husband to prove the truth."

"grumble?!"

Zuo Lingquan's expression was stunned.

Shangguan Lingye laughed "sneer~", laughing lively and brilliantly:
