Museum of Demons Chapter 1318

The aftermath of the battlefield has not yet completely dissipated. Such a magnificent battle has never happened again, even in the long years in the past. In terms of magnificence and danger, the horizontal current is even inferior to today's battle.

During the battle just now, the blue-clothed dragon girl Xian kept her eyes fixed on the figure on the battlefield, and her fingers stirred together unconsciously.

How much like...

She always recalled the scene six thousand years ago.

It is also in the city of the human race, and it is also a great battle sweeping Qingzhuo.

Only that time, the Taoist died in front of him. The Taoist's head rested on his knees, and he watched with his own eyes that his aura gradually disappeared, and the blood flowed down. No matter what he did, he couldn't stop it. Constantly flashing back in front of my eyes, the face that gradually lost its blood color, my crying, the traces of tears dripping in the blood and smudged.

People around came and went, shouting something loudly, just felt noisy.

The events at that time were so similar to the current scene, even though his reason had already told him that this was not the time, but the scenes of the Taoist severing his breath in front of him emerged like a nightmare.

Let her heart lift unconsciously.

Bai Jiu's fingers clenched together, almost turning white and blue.

Until seeing the final and outrageous attack of Zhuo Shi Dazun, this kind of fear reached a peak, and the heart was firmly grasped. Until seeing Fu Yi's shot, he couldn't relax. Everything around him seemed to gradually become blank and receded. Its original color seems to have returned to thousands of years ago, the noise is frightening, and it is a panic that almost falls down.

When Fu Yi held Wei Yuan's arm with one hand, he came back laughing.

Then walking here amidst the raging Xuanqi all over the sky, Xian's heart was slightly calmed down.

The surroundings became colorful again, and I was relieved from the tense emotions. When I saw the Taoist stepping in here, I subconsciously took a step forward, but I heard other footsteps. Turning her eyes abruptly, she saw that the goddess with a lively and beautiful face also took half a step, and subconsciously looked at herself.

They saw each other's eyes in each other's eyes. At that moment, Xian's footsteps stopped, and she immediately remembered that today is the engagement ceremony between the Kunlun celestial girl and him, and there are their relatives and friends here, and she wants to find answers to some things, but this should not destroy The joy of the girl in front of her.

She is no longer the emotional ups and downs that she was when she was forced by Zhu Jiuyin half seven days ago.

In other words, if Zhu Jiuyin hadn't forced her to come here, she would never have set foot in the world again.

She subconsciously took back her steps, so she only took half a step.

It's just that I didn't expect that the girl only took back her steps in an instant.

Both of them just took half a step.

They looked at each other and retracted.

Then Xian raised his eyes to look at the Taoist in front, his heart was full of emotions, he subconsciously bit his lips, before the worries and fears in his heart could be completely dissipated, a new one emerged, neither willing to harm others It's a good thing, but there is still a trace of thoughts lurking at the bottom.

【What is Nianxiang】?

She saw the Taoist after the fight stepped into the room, his sleeves moved slightly, and he still carried the fierce aura of fighting and fighting on his body. The sleeves were stained with blood, and the black hair on his temples was raised, just like before, but no longer Lying on his lap, his complexion gradually turned pale and he lost all vitality.

You don't have to carry him out of the city by yourself, and you don't have to dig the ground with your own hands to bury him.

His eyebrows are flying, although sharp, but still alive, his eyes are black and bright, and he comes with starlight on his back.

The surrounding colors fade away.

He strode in his direction.

Xian didn't know why, but his heart became more and more tense.

Then, without stopping, she walked in front of the green-clothed dragon girl, spread her arms, and embraced another woman in her arms

, the black hair rose and fell, and the wind carried a chill and **** smell.

Just like it was six thousand years ago.

Xian's expression moved slightly, and the light in his eyes dimmed. The black-haired Taoist did not take his eyes off after a fight. On the tip of her hair, there was no pause in her footsteps, nor any hesitation.

The relatives and friends next to him laughed helplessly, and the laughter was mostly a feeling of blessing.

Enlightenment is even more open-eyed. Although many of the things that the eldest sister explained were not done, at least this one thing will be facilitated. Alas, it's a pity that it's just an engagement, but well, an engagement is enough. This time Engagement must be to the extent that everything in the world can witness it, and it must not leave loopholes for others.

The corner of Kaiming's mouth hinted at a smile, while his eyes vaguely glanced at the green-clothed Dragon Girl Xian over there.

Until Zhu Jiuyin was calm and calm, he took half a step across, blocking Kaiming's sight.

Enlightenment just looked away as if nothing had happened.

Still just booing loudly and laughing.

The Taoist is embracing the goddess in his arms, and the tip of his nose seems to be able to smell the fragrance of the girl's hair, the bravery when fighting, the fierceness when stepping over every step, and the short-term confrontation with Fu Yi. Every thing is like dancing on the tip of a knife, and it will make the spirit tense up.

When hugging the girl at this moment, the tentacles are soft, weak and boneless, only the tip of the nose smells the fragrance, and the mind calms down in an instant.

Yu hugged Wei Yuan with his backhand, feeling his spirit gradually turn from tense to calm.

She reached out and patted Wei Yuan's back lightly, as if comforting.

His face flushed slightly. In the past, when encountering such things, he was already so nervous and cramped that he didn't know what to do, but at this moment, he also knew that Wei Yuan had just experienced a gamble on the turbidity of the world. Fighting, on the contrary, her expression became gentle and graceful, her face was originally white as jade, but now she was slightly flushed, her lips were very thin, and her jade-like teeth bit her lower lip lightly, whispering at Wei Yuan's temple:

"...Everyone is watching, why don't you get out of the way?"

The black-haired Taoist closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

Pushed by the girl, he got up, his eyes swept over everyone, and he didn't feel any embarrassment, but said in a calm and generous way: "I originally wanted to invite everyone to be guests today, but I didn't expect such a big battle. You guys are on an adventure."

Everyone laughed and said it was nothing.

Emperor Wa just looked at Wei Yuan with a smile on his face.

I don't know when it started, but this little guy who still needs to take advantage of Yu Qiang, the **** of the North Sea, when he first met, already has the background and qualifications to hold a sword here and look at all sentient beings and strong people. Thinking back at this moment, it made her feel a little dazed.

The places and entanglements involved in this battle are very serious. The Great Lord Zhuoshi has already fallen, and the Heavenly Emperor, uncharacteristically, did not leave here, but stayed in Qingqiu Kingdom of Tushan clan. Although his eyes were flat, he always fell on Fuxi's body.

Fu Xi laughed and asked, "It's rare, Heavenly Emperor."

"What happened in the past, when you were invited to come, you always resisted and refused to come. Even if you came, you left immediately after the matter was over. Why are you so free today?"

The Emperor of Heaven said flatly, "As you said."

"Great Master Zhuo Shi is dead, and the world is peaceful, so I don't need to be as anxious as before."

Fuxi's voice faltered, and he burst out laughing.

After going through a lot of battles before, the ground was shaken, and the entire land of the Tu Shan Clan seemed to be flattened by several layers of thickness, and the landforms had been completely changed. , and if the Emperor of Heaven took action to protect this place, the Tu Shan clan might cease to exist.

At this moment the enemy is broken.

But few people could see Fu Yi's abnormality.

There is a common saying in the world, that is, there must be good things after a catastrophe.

When the World Great Master fell, he first brought out the Vulcan God Huo Zhuo in the troubled times, sealed his soul and Dao fruit by various means, and then directly sealed and imprisoned him with other restrictions, and threw him at the bottom of the Tu Shan family.

The origin of the Tu Shan family is the minister of the prison law in the Yao and Shun era.

This place still retains the torture devices and prisons that were used to imprison the ancient gods.

Moreover, Qie and A Liang had nothing to do, so they upgraded and remodeled a little bit.

It is not difficult to imprison the soul of Daoguo and deprive it of the magic weapon of the magic weapon.

After solving the most difficult problem, and also the most difficult and difficult guy to deal with at present, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately reorganized the atmosphere, and then held a banquet. The engagement banquet is over.

As for the important task of repairing the loss of the Tushan Qingqiu country, it naturally fell on Wei Yuan.

Tu Shannvjiao pinched Wei Yuan's ears with her fingers, her black eyebrows stood upright, she gritted her teeth, grabbed his ears and dragged him abruptly to the entrance of the only remaining building, pointing her white fingers at the heavy building in front Qingqiu Guo on the construction site, franticly, the voice almost came out from between his teeth, and said: "Look, look!"

"Just because you held an engagement banquet for me, look, Tu Shan is gone!"

"My ancestors, this ancestral inheritance that has been passed down for thousands of years has become scum in your hands."

"I only know that your kid's fortune is not good, but I never thought of it. Your fortune is not good, and things involving karma with you are even more miserable. This blood loss!"

"It's not just that there is no money!"

"Qingqiu country has been exiled!"

Just thinking about the cost of Tu Shan's subsequent reconstruction, Nujiao felt dark in front of her eyes.

She only thought that Wei Yuan's fortune was poor, and Qingqiu's country had a great career, so what's the difficulty in getting him engaged?

Needless to say, it was an engagement, even if it was to support this kid for the rest of his life, it would not be difficult.

Such a huge Qingqiu country, with thousands of years of accumulation, can't it be said that it can't afford to support a few idlers?

Now it seems that this guy is simply possessed by bad luck, but the poor fortune is enough to prove his personality as Yuanshi Tianzun. Good guy, the inheritance and family fortune of the Tu Shan family for thousands of years will be lost if they hold an engagement banquet for him. It's clean, but it's not finished yet, it's just an appetizer!

If this is done, must everyone be poor together?

The black-haired Taoist said: "Didn't you say that it was a wedding between you and King Yu?"

"How did this become my engagement again?!

"Nvjiao's voice froze.

Earlier they said to Wei Yuan, "Nvjiao wants to have another wedding with King Yu to make up for the regrets of the troubled times. It's just a way to trick this brat into coming here. How could they know that this guy is using this reason in turn to give her back to Wei Yuan?" Blocked a sentence, and was even speechless for a while.

Immediately furious.

Just like every older sister who was exposed by her younger brother and couldn't get off the stage:

"Ask, ask, why are you asking so much!"

"I didn't do this for you!"

"Go, go, hurry up and get Tu Shan back!"

The Taoist poked Wei Yuan's eyebrows wildly with his fingers, and the Taoist just laughed, helplessly, apologizing to those friends at the moment, his eyes fell on Fuxi who was making tea, and then looked at the Emperor of Heaven, saying: "Uncle Fuxi is a long time I wanted to discuss the Dao with your bare hands, the Emperor of Heaven, before."

"God, it's rare for you to be free today..."

When the words come here, the meaning is already obvious.

The smile on Fuxi's face froze while making tea.

Um? ? ?

I don't!

I do not know!

Don't talk nonsense!

Di Jun nodded slightly, and said lightly: "In the beginning, yin and yang flowed and changed, and the tyranny of his methods far surpassed his attainments in the art of heavenly secrets. I am also very interested, but he always ran away in the past, and I didn't."

Too much time, today is just right. "

Wei Yuan looked at Fuxi's deflated expression, wanting to gnash his teeth and throw the table angrily, but could only hold back because of the presence of Emperor Wa. He laughed a few times in his heart, and finally felt a little better. He was about to go out soon. Although the country was nearly shattered by the violent aftermath in the battle and killing just now, even the ground has been cut off by half, and it has almost become a large deep pit.

For others, it is almost impossible to recover.

But for 【cause and effect】.

Restoring the original appearance is just a matter of gestures.

It can be said that it is too simple to be simple.

Even though Wei Yuan has just experienced a big battle and is far from being able to recover to the state of his peak heyday, it is a breeze to do this, and it will not consume too much energy and energy, and the friends who came here to congratulate They explained twice, Wei Yuan rubbed his ears and planned to go out to repair Tushan, when suddenly a familiar voice came:

"Wei Yuan."

Zhu Jiuyin looked up at him, and said flatly, "It's the first time for Xian to come to Tu Shan's."

"I didn't have much chance to visit here in the past."

The atmosphere in the room was still lively, except that the atmosphere among several insiders froze for a while. Kaiming, who was bragging with Zhu Rong, was frightened, and Lu Wu, who was holding tea and drinking tea, was choked. When he arrived, Zhuzhao Nine Nether Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression calm.

The black-haired Taoist raised his head and saw the dragon girl Xian in the green shirt over there.

Zhu Jiuyin sighed, and said lightly: "This time you are repairing the damaged part of the outside, and you have to walk around in various places. Qingqiu's place is not too small, so take her to have a look."

Wei Yuan was puzzled, then fell silent, thinking of the sword made of Dao fruit, he nodded slightly.

When Dragon Girl Xian in green shirt and the black-haired Taoist walked out of here, she paused in her footsteps, and looked back at Tiannu, who just looked calm, Dragon Girl lowered her eyes, and Wei Yuan over there was calling her, so she also Nodding slightly, he turned and left quickly.

It seemed that it was because the inside was too cramped, and it also seemed that there were too many people there. Even she herself didn't realize that when she walked out of the hall, Xian's footsteps were a little brisk, and she exhaled slightly. The ruined walls in front looked very dilapidated, just like what they looked like after the great war six thousand years ago.

It's just that this time she didn't walk out with the Taoist's body on her back.

When the black-haired Taoist walked forward, the golden color flowed and changed like the causal thread of the morning light, so as he walked forward step by step, the surrounding cities and buildings of Qingqiu Kingdom of Tushan Clan spread out bit by bit. Now, if mortals see it, they will exclaim miracles, or suspect that there are some high-tech methods hidden around them.

Seeing these appearances, Xian suddenly thought of a question, what is it that he misses? Just like the simple and simple buildings around the Taoist, under the sunlight, it presents a simple and simple texture that has passed through the years.

The golden sunlight flows down from the decorative gaps carved on the eaves, and falls on the Taoist robe, making the cloud patterns seem to come alive, making Xian realize in a daze, what she has missed for so long The stories all began in Xuanyuan Hill, where the human race still belonged to the earliest era, where there were houses piled up with large cyan rocks, and there were wide and straight roads that were not repaired much.

And the Qingqiu Kingdom bordering the human world, although it was once the oldest tribe, gave birth to the original king.

But the architecture and pattern here have already undergone tremendous changes.

But even so, some things will always be preserved, such as the pattern on the house, as if it was inherited from the ancestors very early, and the raised cornices on the roof, as if they were born on the roof. The big tree in the center spreads out, and the road construction extending in all directions like Xuanyuan Hill is like a maze. Running and walking on the road, piercing through the golden autumn day, crossing the road they once walked.

Xian felt in a trance that he had returned to that era again.

The Taoist who no longer wears white clothes and white hair stood in front of her, looked back at her, and waved with a smile. He took a breath, worried that if he tried too hard, the dream would be shattered.

Then she trotted briskly over.

Why did you come here by yourself?

Even if Zhu Jiuyin was willing to let go of her past arrogance and deliberately opened her mouth to create a short alone time for her, she still couldn't figure it out. Come and take away, maybe persistent for a long time, maybe...

While thinking about these things, she had already started to walk with the Taoist in this warm and sunny city and walked forward step by step. She deliberately, or maybe habitually, lagged behind by half a step so that she could lift up. He began to see the shoulder of the Taoist.

As the Taoist walked forward, relying on the power of cause and effect, it was difficult for the surrounding battlefields to recover at the fastest speed, so the ravines torn by the majestic energy recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the buildings, the painted Shan's various accumulations over the years, from the perspective of Xian who walked behind him.

It was as if the whole world had unfolded in front of that figure, and then it was displayed in front of her.

Xian put his hands behind his back, crossed his fingers, raised his head slightly and walked quietly step by step after half a step, watching the cause and effect flow around the Taoist, raised his eyes, but reflected more distant blue sky, as if there was nothing Walking forward at the end, listening to the Taoist's introduction of Qingqiu Fox Country.

After the battle with Zhuoshi Dazun ended, ordinary people who were not able to participate in this battle were transferred to Tu Shan's family, including Zhang Hao in other places, and Professor Dong Yuefeng who asked the old foxes to ask about history. I was amazed at how the entire Tu Shan family had suddenly changed from the prosperity and beauty just now to the devastation now.

They still don't know that what they just saw is just an illusion.

Immediately, the devastated world around him began to recover, and the buildings emerged one by one. When he was stunned, the old professor Dong Yuefeng suddenly raised his eyes, and saw the black-haired Taoist walking step by step against the light. Eyebrows are flying, but there is stillness that seems to be able to penetrate everything. Half a step behind is a woman in Tsing Yi.

Dragon Girl Xian is wearing a simple green shirt, but there are solemn dark lines inside, her smooth black hair is tied into a bun, revealing her fair neck, she is wearing light-colored shoes, and the jade pendant hanging from her waist collides and jingles, Beautiful and elegant, sometimes, weddings are always too lively, even a little noisy, but when such a beautiful woman walks, even the glutton who is crazily swallowing delicious food can subconsciously control her own speed, so that she will not be in a hurry. Make those gobbling noises.

Dong Yuefeng looked at Wei Yuan, and almost subconsciously asked, isn't the girl from the flower shop opposite the museum the one you married today? But he didn't ask. The woman's aura was like winter sunlight falling through a glass window, so warm that it would break the feeling if she opened her mouth.

For some reason, the old man subconsciously withdrew his words, but watched the two leave after the Taoist greeted them.

No one spoke either.

"Pity."

"I thought back then that the two of them would be together."

Gonggong stood on a high place, watching the way the Taoist went away, thoughtfully.

Even if Zhu Jiuyin created an atmosphere where the two of them lived together, it was impossible for them to have any problems on the day of their engagement. Even if it was the gods of fire and water who supported Zhu Jiuyin before, seven days ago, they supported the That girl could look directly at her own feelings, not really wanting to make a fuss.

Gonggong said, "It's a pity."

Zhu Rong was silent for a while, recalling that a long, long time ago, in Xuanyuanqiu, it was also a day like this, the sun was shining on the road, the Taoist was walking in front, and the girl was walking half a step in a newly bought blue shirt and thin-soled fast boots. Later, when I thought about it carefully, it turned out to be the same as what I saw before.

It's just that one person's white hair has turned black, and the other has grown up. Zhu Rong closed his eyes, as if he could still see what happened back then:

"Things are impermanent."

Maybe no one will remember that scene back then, except for the two of them, who would know about this past?

Tu Shan's buildings are also modeled after the layout of Xuanyuan Hill. The maze-like roads extending in all directions will eventually return to the center. Inside Xuanyuan Hill, there will be a big tree. The heroes of the family planted that peach tree together, but when Ji Xuanyuan was about to abdicate that year, all the heroes who had toasted and drank under that tree had already left.

Xian's footsteps stopped, and his hands were lightly placed behind his back. When the wind blew over, the hem of Tsing Yi's clothes swayed slightly. When he was in Xuanyuan Hill, because the roads were too complicated, it was easy to find the way. , the Taoist would wait for her at the tree in the center, and then go back to the small house at that time, whether it was when people were coming and going, or when the sky was cold and blue in the middle of the night.

This is not Xuanyuan Hill, nor is there such a tree.

But the Taoist in front of him was using his supernatural powers and closed his eyes, but he was not waiting for her. Xian looked at the figure and twitched his toes slightly. After that incident, she traveled through mountains and rivers, and finally lived by the Chishui River , but she also came to Xuanyuanqiu, maybe she couldn't forget it, or maybe she just remembered it suddenly one night, and she would come back to see it.

Unconsciously, I will walk to the big tree in the center of Xuanyuan Hill, to the house where we lived together, and see the familiar appearance, but I can't see the familiar figure again. I don't believe it. You will literally die in that battle, I always feel that you will appear in the world again, just like in the beginning.

I always thought that at a certain familiar intersection, I would meet you inadvertently.

However, Xian walked the road of Xuanyuanqiu, where people come and go, or has been abandoned by the years and the human race, and did not meet that person again. She lowered her eyes slightly, clasped her hands behind her back, , along with the recovery of Qingqiu Kingdom, those real guests have come here. The foxes of the Tu Shan family explained that they were in other places before to tidy up here before entertaining all the guests.

The guests were admiring Tu Shan's supernatural powers, and they were also blessing the future of the newcomers. The lively atmosphere made Xian feel that she was not suitable for such an atmosphere. She closed her eyes slightly, and could imagine that in the years to come, How wonderful they will be.

The black-haired Taoist said:

"There are still a lot of scenery ahead, and the commercial area built in the model of Xuanyuan Hill is also in front."

The dragon girl in green shirt suddenly laughed: "No need, I just feel stuffy inside, I just come out to get some air, besides, Zhu Jiuyin's suggestions and ideas are always against my opinion, let's go, it's time to see I've seen it too, go back and have a look.”

"I always feel like they've already started drinking."

When the black-haired Taoist returned to the main hall with Xian, he heard the voice of Huhe, and the voice of King Yu laughed loudly inside, and A Liang and Shi Huangdi had also returned. They came back step by step, also drinking wine, the most outrageous one was Fuxi, who was being crazily drunk by Lu Wu and Kaiming.

It seems that the gods of the ancient tigers and the dragons and snakes are naturally at odds.

If they can't fight, they can only drink each other on the wine table. King Yu inside saw Wei Yuan, his eyes lit up, and he was obviously relieved. He hurriedly called Wei Yuan in loudly, and even let him in now Go fry a few dishes to prove that King Yu's dishes are superior to Wei Yuan's, so Wei Yuan has no choice but to go in.

The green-clothed dragon girl Xian put her hands behind her back and looked at the figure with a smile on her face.

do you know? deep.

After finding your reincarnation, I wanted to find you more than once, and grow up with you, but I was very worried, worried that if I interfered in your life, would you still be the one I met?

If I knew you from the beginning, would you still have such a character, would you still make the same choice, and then

What about appearing in front of me from the sky like a **** when I was weakest? If I change the past, will we never meet again?

Then I'd rather wait for our reunion.

Perhaps our story has already decided the ending when we met.

"Hey, hey, little girl over there, do you want to have a drink?! Come on, come on, haha, you're welcome!" King Yu, who was intoxicated by the thousand-year-old wine in the Kunlun cellar, greeted the dragon girl with a big smile. Xian smiled generously, then walked over, picked up a jug of wine from the table, with a very proud look, and poured wine glass by glass, everyone was stunned.

do you know?

I long for our reunion. You fell in the catastrophe of heaven and earth. In the era of your passing, people have forgotten your story, but I still remember you.

do you know? I have tried all the delicacies you mentioned casually, some are delicious, and some are very ordinary.

I can also make delicious candied haws, but I don't like it because it's too sour. The beautiful sunshine, the Baiguo in the South China Sea will have the same festivals as Xuanyuanqiu, and it will be very lively, there will be children running across the wide road, and the sunset is like gold.

Xian raised his neck and gulped down the drink. This kind of fine wine has a strong smell, and the wine splashed on his face, so that there was a transparent liquid on Xian's face. His eyes were bright, like a pearl from a jade, and a flower condensed like a dew. Put down the wine pot , she looked at the black-haired Taoist on one side, and suddenly smiled and said, "Yuan."

"I may or may not love you."

The room that was still very lively just now fell silent, and then the dragon girl in green shirt suddenly leaned over, and then grabbed the Taoist's wrist with one hand, and approached the place where the black hair rose like a falling night Curtain, when Wei Yuan turned his head, he smelled the fragrance at the tip of his nose, and felt a soft touch on his mouth.

He could see the clear and peaceful eyes on the opposite side, which seemed to be smiling, warm and sad.

But... Even though I live very well in South China Sea, I still can't forget everything about Xuanyuanqiu, such a beautiful day, your smile, and the last time you stood up for me. I die, let me live well.

That's why I won't be like what Zhu Jiuyin worried about, what would happen without you.

if you can.

I really hope that it is me who is next to you now, I want to see your smile, walk with you under the warm sunshine like gold, I want to hear your laughter, and I want to taste the food made by you , or it can be hawthorn with a slightly sour taste, and then I tap your shoulder angrily.

A piece of dead silence~www.mtlnovel.com~ The drunken King Yu squeezed the hard Kunlun jade-like wine glass, and the first emperor's eyes widened. His head was swung up and hit the floor.

There was a dead silence, and the dragon girl took a step back slightly.

Everyone saw that her palm was in front of Wei Yuan and herself, Wei Yuan's lips just touched the woman's soft palm, while her own lips kissed the back of her hand, and then she smiled slightly, retracting the three fingers of her palm, Bibiye's fingers twitched, and his smile was like the one we met for the first time, but for some reason it made people feel a little pain in the heart.

As if meeting for the first time, the grace of the gods smiled and said:

"Yo, is it so easy to lie?"

"Tianzun."

"This is just a joke."
