Yixiang
past
That's a really old word.
Fortunately, the immortal had a good memory and he actually managed to recall it.
"I grew up in the East..."
Now, tens of millions of years later, most people who have heard of the name "Yixiang" feel that a man with this name has a somewhat feminine air.
Actually not.
Once upon a time, the two words "Yixiang" concealed murderous intent.
At that time, he grew up in the East Territory. He was a young man raised in luxury, a romantic man who grew up in the red silk tent and the warm fragrance of soft jade.
The beginning of the first month of the 80,000th year of the Human Emperor Calendar.
The entire four regions were immersed in the joy of celebrating the New Year. Although the New Year was celebrated every year, this year was somewhat different, after all, it was a full ten thousand years.
On the first day of the first lunar month, people in the four regions of China are not allowed to engage in farming, travel on trade routes, work, or serve as officials.
He said, “There is nothing to do today.”
The princes and young men of the Eastern Territory crossed Suzaku Street in a noisy clamor, landing at the very back, holding a worn-out lantern from last year. They shouted to the top of the willow tree by the river, "Let's go have some wine, Chonglou."
The top of the willow tree moved twice, and finally a young boy's head popped out, hiding among the branches with some new buds, as if growing in a new spring.
Hua Chonglou also responded with a smile: "You have to treat me to the best Huadiao."
The group of young men in front also stopped at this time. Jiang Zhong, who was at the front, said to the young man at the back, "Xi Ke, you can't be partial to one and treat the other differently!"
The young man raised the lantern in his hand and said, "I prepared it a long time ago. Look, I stole all my father's lanterns."
Everyone knows that the lanterns of Sima Xu’s family are well made, even the frames are made of gold, like the one in the hands of the young Xu Xike.
Hua Chonglou jumped down from the tree and bounded in front of Xu Xike. He put his slender arm around his neck and said teasingly, "You really are a loving father and a filial son."
Xu Xike pushed his hand away, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Just tell me whether you're going or not!"
It was still early in the spring that year, and the slight chill had not yet dissipated, but the weather was really nice.
The Eastern Region in Hua Chonglou's memory is always sunny and brilliant.
The flowers are red and the grass is green, and the sky is clear and blue.
The young man's clothes are thin, and the smell of alcohol is enough to dye his cheeks red. Taoli Chunfeng, the largest restaurant in the East, sells this youthful spirit.
Xu Xike held his wine glass in his hand, his chin propped up by his other hand, and said to Hua Chonglou, "I heard the Eternal Daytime Sea Monster disaster is getting worse. Sheshan has created a Heavenly Secret Ranking, claiming to be recruiting the world's best talents. Killing monsters counts towards the list, but they're trying to fool us!"
Jiang Zhong, who was holding the wine pot and drinking from it, threw the silver wine pot on the table, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and asked, "Are you going or not?"
He didn't care at all about his image as a noble son of the Jiang family.
Xu Xike smiled, his eyes curved into crescents.
"Of course I will! A young talent like me must take the top spot!"
Jiang Zhong smiled and threw the peanuts on the plate at his head, "Go to hell, I am the number one in these four realms."
Ever since the broken realm collided with Cang Xuan thousands of years ago and the Eternal Day Sea landed in the southern border, demon disasters have become more and more prevalent in Cang Xuan.
Currently, Cang Xuan is in the prime of his life, so he is not afraid.
I am using Chi Zhouhai as a training ground for my younger generation. If you want to settle down near my home, you have to pay a price.
Jiang Zhong said, "Call Feng Ruoshui along too. With her eye-opening technique, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."
The Feng family in the East Territory is unrivaled in the world in the art of creation. Feng Ruoshui, as the young master of the Feng family, is the best at summoning the phoenix.
"Who do you think is more powerful, Feng Ruoshui's Dot-Eye Phoenix or Yong Zhouhai's White-Feathered Phoenix?"
Hua Chonglou leaned against the table, casting a spell with one hand to draw forth the wine. With a few gentle taps, the outline of a flying bird materialized. Jiang Zhong and Xu Xike were about to take a closer look when they saw he had withdrawn his magical power.
Hua Chonglou clenched his hands into fists and smiled arrogantly: "I am the best!"
This year, God seemed to favor the East. Of the top 20 on the Heavenly Secrets List, eight were from the East, and the four of them had a place among them.
In his spare time, Jiang Zhong lay on the defensive wall on the east bank to bask in the sun, with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.
"Yunting is bitterly cold, those sword-crazed people at Sanchidao are notoriously clueless, and the monks and scholars at Luhu and Xiaolingshan have become pedantic through their studies." He tilted his head, his brows brimming with pride: "What do you think they can use to compete with us?"
Feng Ruoshui frowned in disdain: "The first place is still the swordsman from Yunting Cangfeng Mountain."
She added, "And the guy in front of you is also from Yunting."
Jiang Zhong retorted, "If you hadn't been so obsessed with looking pretty and wearing a complicated skirt that affected my movements, I would have caught up with that Yuanying stage monster and tied the score."
Feng Ruoshui pointed at herself and rolled her eyes. "If I didn't have the black phoenix I painted as my mount, you wouldn't even be able to see the tail feathers of that monster."
She was born as the young master of the Feng family. She had been wearing fine clothes and eating delicious food since she was a child and was pampered. But now she had to accompany them to this desolate place to suffer this kind of suffering.
Besides, if it weren't for that idiot Jiang Zhong who accidentally mixed the sword tassel with her skirt, they might not have wasted time.
Xu Xike and Hua Chonglou on the side were already used to this. The two of them would quarrel every three to five days. When they quarreled, it was like the sky fell and the earth shook, but they would make up as before after the quarrel.
They usually call it flirting.
These two people...are actually engaged.
Like Jiang Zhong, the second son of the Jiang family, marrying into the Feng family.
Xu Xike glanced at the latest Sheshan battle report in his hand, then looked up at Hua Chonglou and said, "This wave of demonic disasters is almost over."
He flipped it over, looked at the Tianji list on the back and said, "We don't have much time, and you're currently second, which is a long way from first."
Hua Chonglou instantly understood what he meant: "The sword must be used in an unconventional way"
Xu Xike closed the battle report: "The sword takes an unconventional approach."
For example, killing a monster that has reached the perfect state of leaving the body.
It is not easy for the four of them who are in the Nascent Soul stage to do so, so they can only pick on the weak ones.
"The Nine-Tailed Fox clan is good at illusions, but their own combat power is not high. We can give it a try." Xu Xike took out a bell from his arms, "This is the Sound-Cleansing Bell I got from my father. It can wake people up from illusions."
Hua Chonglou: ...
You are truly a filial son.
“But the question is, who will ring the bell?”
They would probably be dragged into the illusion as soon as they met, and would not have time to ring the bell.
Xu Xike said, "I'll do it. I have a life-saving talisman on me that can keep you conscious even when you're near death. If there's a chance, I can shake it."
At that time, he will walk into the illusion without resistance, so that the spell can be activated.
Hua Chonglou shook his head: "It's too dangerous, let me do it."
They all come from extraordinary backgrounds and each of them has a trump card.
Xu Xike refused, "In terms of martial arts alone, you are stronger than me, and your chances of killing the nine-tailed fox are greater than mine..."
He paused and looked at the other two people who were still arguing: "We are a little older than them, we can't let them get into danger."
Hua Chonglou said without hesitation: "Then don't."
"What"
"I say, then forget it." He took the battle report from Xu Xike's hand, transformed his spiritual power into strength, and shattered it to pieces.
"Second is second, I can't let you take risks."
After Jiang Zhong and Feng Ruoshui finished arguing, they saw that the other two had already built a stove and were leisurely cooking wine.
Jiang Zhong took the cup consciously and drank it while asking, "We are not going to fight monsters today."
Hua Chonglou spread his hands and said, "I can't defeat Yunting's sword madman anyway, so why bother trying so hard?"
What a flexible desire to win.
Jiang Zhong touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "That's true."
It seems like they were not the ones who made the bold promises before.
The 80,13th year of the Human Emperor Calendar.
In the third demon disaster that Hua Chonglou participated in, he finally surpassed Yun Ting's sword cultivation and took the first place on the Tianji List.
Xu Xike looked at the newly released list happily. Although he was not at the top, it made him happy no matter how he looked at it.
"They call you Yixiang Jun."
He looked Hua Zhonglou up and down, and said with a smile: "Who told you to scatter flower petals even when killing people?"
Actually, it’s not that.
Hua Chonglou practiced the art of coffin flowers. When he killed people or demons, his flesh and blood would turn into flying flowers that fell all over the sky. It was very cruel, but very pleasing to the eye.
Hua Chonglou smiled and said, "That's a good name."
He glanced at the points on the Tianji Ranking and said, "Do you feel that the Chi Zhouhai monster is getting stronger and stronger?"
The points of the top 20 on the Tianji list have been increasing in recent times.
This shows that the number of demons sent out by Chi Zhouhai is increasing.
The family did notice this phenomenon, but they didn't figure out why.
For thousands of years, Cang Xuan and Chi Zhouhai have been in a relatively stable state. Although they fought and killed each other, they never suffered any serious injuries.
Recently, this balance has shown signs of being broken.
Xu Xike said, "Luhu has already sent people to investigate."
Hua Chonglou raised his eyebrows: "What about us?"
Xu Xike shook his head.
The sons of wealthy families do not sit in the halls. In the eyes of some people, the lives of these princes and nobles are more valuable than those of the scholars without background in Luxe Lake.
So ironic.
Hua Chonglou said, "Everyone has two eyes and a mouth to live with. We can't all get all the benefits from it, young masters who live in luxury."
He pinched his fingers and conjured up a flying insect, which then seemed to have its own consciousness and continued to split, and in a blink of an eye it had become a large group.
"We have more life-saving skills than those poor scholars in Luxe Lake. Are you going?"
Xu Xike also received the battle report of Sheshan at this time.
"go!"
The sun of the Eternal Day Sea sets in the west, leaving only some orange light to illuminate the entire realm - in fact, it cannot be called daytime, it is more like dusk.
They looked to the south, where a high mountain stood quietly. Even the east coast could see its scissor-like peak.
It was like a mountain that was originally intact, but was suddenly split into two halves.
Those are the two peaks of Sheshan.
"I heard that Sheshan was created by immortals in the Eternal Day Sea to suppress demons."
Xu Xike looked at the peak with envy: "Immortals are immortal and have great power. I wish I could have the ability to move mountains like them one day."
Hua Chonglou is dispensable.
"I won't become an immortal. If I live a hundred years, I'll live a hundred years. If I live ten thousand years, I'll live ten thousand years. What's the point of living in a stagnant immortal world?"
