Not long after Zuo Wuji and Jin Jia left Kuainan with Li Feng, a middle-aged man with black hair came to visit Zhu Yan outside Zhu Yan’s mansion, but was told that Zhu Yan was not at the house.
“Your king is not here? Where has he gone? Did he leave any words?”
The man’s face was calm, but there was worry in his heart. He came here under orders. He had been informed of some bad guesses before he came. As expected, he came to nothing when he came to the Southern Wilderness Mountains.
The gatekeeper monster just shook his head.
“The king didn’t leave any words. How can we guess his whereabouts? If something happens to you, I will tell you when the king comes back, or you can just wait here.”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and then said.
“How about you let me go into the mansion and wait for your king?”
The gatekeeper monster thought for a moment and said.
“That’s okay, but you can only go in the front yard. You are not allowed to enter the backyard without the king’s permission. If you break in without permission, you will definitely die without a burial if the king finds out.”
“This is natural!”
The man nodded and agreed to all the conditions, and then followed the monster into the house. After the monster took him to a living room, the man escaped from his shell, leaving a fake body in the distance that was enough to look real, and he turned into smoke. Entered the backyard of this demon mansion.
Although there are restrictions everywhere, these restrictions cannot stop the man in the slightest. This wisp of green smoke wanders around in the demon mansion, directly reaching the depths of the backyard, and transforms into a man again in a garden.
If Zhu Yan were here, he would definitely be caught. There are indeed a few monsters here that are very powerful, but they are not enough to see through the manly aura. Now it seems that Zhu Yan is really not in this house.
The man lowered his head and looked at the chessboard on the garden table and the two chess boxes beside it. It seemed that Zhu Yan was not in a hurry to leave.
‘Could it be that he couldn’t avoid showing up? ’
As a chess player, it is difficult to predict the opponent’s true whereabouts, but the man’s premonition was not very good.
At this time, the man’s heart suddenly moved. He stretched out his right hand, and a bright moon-like wheel mirror appeared in his hand. A burst of light appeared on it, and a vague outline of a human figure appeared in the light.
The figure looked this way, and the man quickly pointed the mirror at the stone table and chessboard, and said aloud.
“I have checked Zhu Yan’s mansion, but there is no trace of him. He should have left here for at least three months and has not come back during this period. And the Lord, you noticed something was wrong about a month ago, but here Everything is fine and the chessboard is clean, which shows that Zhu Yan was not in a hurry when he left. I am guessing that he may have encountered something interesting or been asked to leave by an acquaintance. ”
There was a flow of light and shadow on the mirror, and there was no reaction from above, but the man holding the mirror seemed to have understood some divine intention, nodded and left the place quickly.
Zhu Yan is not a kitten or puppy, nor is he a simple demon king of the Southern Wilderness. In essence, he has secretly controlled a considerable part of the forces in the Southern Wilderness Mountains. And no matter how he has quarrels with others, Zhu Yan can still do it after all. He is qualified to play chess, and at least on the surface he seeks common ground while reserving differences with other ancient powers.
For a period of time after Zhu Yan was dragged into the Haezhi scroll, some existences closely related to Zhu Yan, some demon kings and forces who relied on Zhu Yan to wave the banner, and those who were always paying attention to him, all There was a vague feeling in his heart, and then he gradually realized that he had lost contact with Zhu Yan.
Before this, Zhu Yan didn’t make any unusual movements.
Zhu Yanli is standing in the Southern Wilderness Mountains, and the power he can use in his current avatar is quite considerable. With his ability, perhaps this so-called disappearance is just a personal act of his chief officer, but it is too much to cut off all the breath directly. This is abnormal, especially when someone wants to contact Zhu Yan and suddenly discovers that Zhu Yan is missing.
This naturally aroused considerable shock and attention, and also had a certain deterrent effect on certain beings. They seemed a little suspicious in their hearts, and even some of the original arrangements were temporarily suppressed, at least not at this juncture. Please let go. You have been waiting for this for so many years. You don’t care if you wait a little longer.
Perhaps Zhu Yan will appear on his own after a while? After all, a ferocious beast like Zhu Yan is difficult to restrain. If he didn’t share a common plan, he would be the type that everyone hates.
However, as time goes by, the possibility that Zhu Yan just left on his own is becoming less and less.
Zhu Yan may have disappeared for a year and a half because of a temporary interest or some private matter, but it is impossible to disappear directly for three to five years, and this is still the case when there was no explanation internally or externally before his disappearance.
It has been seven years since Zhu Yan disappeared, and almost no one has any expectations for Zhu Yan’s recovery.
Also seven years later, some people who had close contact with Zhu Yan before and who also belonged to the manifestation of the true spirit of ancient existence all noticed the unwilling roar in the wilderness.
The awakening and violent temper of Zhu Yan’s true body and spirit means that Zhu Yan in today’s normal world is dead.
This is a desperate fight. The price of this loss also means that the real Zhu Yan will be struggling alone in the terrible wilderness at this moment. It will be difficult for him to survive with his true energy, and it will be even more difficult to distinguish the true energy. Incarnate into the world, live there like years, resent and wait for the fate that is in the hands of others.
Unless Zhu Yan can give up everything and directly reincarnate into the world, it is true that he can do this. Zhu Yan also has this ability. He can give up the body of the ancient ferocious beast, but also give up the share of the ancient heaven and earth that he has won. Dao, Zhu Yan can’t do it.
“獬豸——”
The moment Zhu Yan regained consciousness, a crazy roar came from his mouth, and its turbulent rage shook a corner of the wilderness, causing the ubiquitous dark red sand and thin spiritual energy to collapse into pieces, making this dark place A bleak wasteland briefly revealed the dim sun in the sky.
It’s just that the sun doesn’t bring warmth to this place that has been exiled by heaven and earth. Even the sun in the sky seems to be looking at the roaring giant ape in the wilderness mockingly.
This violent roar was quickly drowned in the wilderness, but the word “獬豸” was still vaguely sensed by some dreaming and waking beings, and Zhu Yan could even feel it The kind of unwillingness and resentment full of hostility.
……
As for Zhu Yan’s side, the past seven years have made many people suspicious and uneasy, causing many people to suppress their impulses, while others have followed the rules step by step, seeming to be indifferent but actually being cautious, and all of them have been careful.
But for many righteous people, especially those who have a close relationship with Ji Yuan, these seven years are also uneasy. Zhu Yan disappeared for seven years, and so did Mr. Ji Da.
In the same way, it is not impossible for a practitioner to remain in seclusion for ten to eight years or even thirty to fifty years. However, Jiyuan rarely disappears for a long time without any reason, and it disappears when no one can contact it, especially It’s in today’s world of great change.
Not to mention Ji Yuan’s friends and close people such as Lao Long, the first year when Long Nu opened up the wilderness, Ji Yuan did not show up and no news came, which has already made the Tongtianjiang people very worried. Seven years of this will inevitably make people anxious.
The monks in Tianji Pavilion almost went crazy with anxiety. For seven consecutive years, various methods of transmitting information were directed at Ji Yuan, but they had no direction and could not fly out. It was almost as if everyone in Tianji Pavilion was going bald. In today’s world , if people like Mr. Ji died quietly, it would be hard to imagine how terrible things are waiting in the world.
Fortunately, the Tianji Wheel evolved on its own, and at least everyone in the Tianji Pavilion understood that Mr. Ji’s life was not in danger, but he was not “inside” or “outside” it.
This day was the second day of April. In Liping’s official residence in Xia Yong’s capital, in a backyard room that had been vacant for seven years, Ji Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, the slightly dark interior seemed to become brighter, and the slight smell of corruption was swept away at this moment, making the interior look fresh and natural.
On the table in front of the futon, the Haechi scroll is still unfolded. The top is no longer pitch black, but a brightly colored and lifelike statue of an ancient mythical beast.
It seems as if nothing has changed about the futon, table, picture scroll, and Ji Yuan. It seems as if Ji Yuan has been sitting on this futon from beginning to end and never moved. It seems as if everything just happened the night before, in these seven years. It’s no more than a moment.
Looking at the spotlessly clean room, Ji Yuan counted with his fingers for a long time before letting out a long sigh of relief. A full seven and a half years had passed, and luckily there were no irreversible changes during this period. Find Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com
But then again, if there is any terrible change, Ji Yuan will wake up immediately. It can only be said that seven years is a long time for ordinary people, but not for an existence that is often measured in hundreds and thousands of years. How long.
Ji Yuan reached out and picked up the Haechi scroll. The Haechi on it did not react at all, but the scroll was much heavier.
Standing up, Ji Yuan raised his head and looked up. His sight seemed to penetrate the roof and see through the sky. There was light in Ji Yuan’s eyes. It was different from the various gas phases that he had seen before. There were three special kinds of brilliance. , can be seen but not touched, each has its own light
“The three flowers that Ji saw seem to be different from what ordinary immortal cultivators say… Hahaha, no wonder I think that it is difficult for someone to gather the three flowers. They are not “spirits and spirits”, but “heaven, earth and people”. Hey, should I cry or laugh! When the Three Flowers gather, will I still be me?”
However, Ji Yuan at least understands that now that he has recovered from his injuries and is full of energy, his Taoism has made further progress. More importantly, the sword array picture has been drawn.
Muttering to himself, Ji Yuan walked towards the door. He pulled lightly but failed to open the door. He shook his head and smiled again. The people from Li Mansion actually locked the door.
Ji Yuan pulled it again, and the copper lock outside the door opened and fell to the ground with a “pop” sound, and the door that had been sealed with folding fans for a long time was slowly opened.
In the courtyard outside the door, there were resting servants playing chess on the stone table in the courtyard. When they heard the door opening, everyone turned to look at where Ji Yuan was, only to see that the locked door had opened by itself.
At this moment, my vision was a little blurry, and I didn’t know whether it was the light from outside entering the room, or whether it was brighter inside. However, the illusion at this moment quickly faded away in a trance, and the next moment everyone saw the person standing in front of the door. I met a gentleman in green shirt.
