Chapter 19
A young man in ancient costume with a long sword on his back stood in front of the gate. His clothes were mainly black and red, simple and neat, and decorated with feathers and animal teeth, which were the style of the Miao ethnic minorities.
Looking at the bar, the young man's face showed hesitation and nostalgia.
Miss?
Fang Shao looked at the young man, and when he saw the fat bird squatting on his shoulder armor, Fang Shao confirmed his identity.
Baili Tusu, formerly known as Han Yunxi, stepped forward and respectfully saluted Fang Shao. "Baili Tusu has met you. I haven't seen you for many years, but your appearance has not changed. You are indeed a hidden master."
He was taking a nap on his way to Fanyun Village to rescue people, and his childhood experience reappeared in his dream. When he woke up, he suddenly found that there was a tavern next to him that had magically appeared and disappeared. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was an illusion or reality.
"Bai Li Tu Su..." Fang Shao sighed. His appearance hadn't changed. How could it have changed? It had only been two months.
Although he knew that the speed of time in the bar and in other worlds was different, this was the first time he saw the huge difference brought about by this difference. In a short time in the bar, the naughty child who played head to head with Harry turned into the handsome young man in front of him who was calm and resolute.
Tu Su misunderstood Fang Shao's hesitation, "Bai Li Tu Su is the name given to me by Master. When I was young, my name was Han Yunxi, and I once entered this place by mistake. Fortunately, Master gave me a warning, so that our Wumeng Spiritual Valley was able to save the elderly and weak people in the disaster. Master, you are so kind, Tu Su has no way to repay you, and if you have any orders, I will obey."
Fang Shao waved his hands and said, "I just got the news by chance, you just need to say thank you. I can't bear it if you take it so seriously."
He also felt a little regretful. His appearance saved Wumeng Spirit Valley from being destroyed as tragically as in the game, but it still failed to change the fate of the child. Changing from Han Yunxi to Baili Tusu was not only a change of name, but more importantly, he merged with half of the soul of the Crown Prince Changqin. Not only did he carry the evil spirit of the fierce sword Fenji, but he also bore the heavenly punishment of the Crown Prince Changqin, "few relatives and love, and eternal loneliness".
"To kill evil spirits and awaken human souls." This name represents the earnest expectations that Master Ziyin Zhenren Tu Su has for him.
"Sir, I will remember your kindness in my heart. Tu Su has one more thing to ask of you, please forgive me."
Although Tu Su's personality has changed a lot, he is still as straightforward as when he was a child. Fang Shao roughly guessed what he wanted to ask. "Go ahead. But don't call me Mr., my last name is Fang, you can call me Boss Fang or Brother Fang." In fact, Fang Shao was mainly a little uncomfortable, after all, Tu Su called the big boss "Mr." in the game.
"After Tu Su woke up in the valley, he somehow lost part of his memory and had no idea what the enemy looked like. The old and weak who were hiding had never met the enemy and were at a loss as to the reason." Tu Su bowed again, "First... since Boss Fang was able to give us a warning in advance, he must have known something about the invading enemy. If you can tell Tu Su, I will reward you handsomely."
It is indeed this, Fang Shao hesitated. As someone who has played the game, Fang Shao naturally knew the answer to this question. Moreover, Tu Su's young knight-errant demeanor is completely different from the silly-looking young actor in the TV version, so he should not interfere with the magical plot there.
But Fang Shao thought about it, and realized that in the game, Tu Su was facing a difficult situation. The soul of the prince Chang Qin, which the big boss wanted, was sealed in his body. To defeat the big boss, he had to remove the seal and unleash the full power of Fen Ji. But removing the seal also meant that Tu Su's soul would dissipate, and he would only have three days left to live.
What if he knew the identity of the big boss in advance and let Ziyin Zhenren fight the final battle? Fang Shao was really unsure. Ziyin Zhenren should have been ambushed by the nightmare and was recuperating in seclusion. Even when he appeared in the later part of the game to save the protagonist group, he was still recovering from his old injuries.
Fang Shao hadn't thought it through yet, so he changed the subject for the moment. "What do you remember about the situation at that time?"
Tu Su looked dazed and pale. "I only remember a few white lights flying by. They were the souls of my people. They were sucked into a piece of jade."
His face showed a struggle. "And then, I can't remember anything."
As his thoughts became increasingly confused, a dark red murderous aura ignited from the black-clothed young man's body like a flame, carrying with it a brutal and mysterious aura.
"Hey~"
The fat eagle that had been staying on Tu Su's left shoulder suddenly flew into the air.
"Hiss~~" Xiao Hei, who was hiding under the table, was also startled. He quickly stepped back, his eyes fixed on the human surrounded by red flames, and the hair on his body stood up. So scary, what kind of monster is this!
"Hey~"
"Lee~" This overweight bird of prey flew around its owner with an agility that was inconsistent with its size, and kept making sharp screams.
"A Xiang?" Tu Su regained consciousness. He calmed himself down and put away the evil spirit.
"Don't think about it for now." Fang Shao turned around, took a cup of hot water and handed it to him.
"Tu Su is sorry for being rude. Please forgive me." Tu Su looked ashamed.
"The time has not come yet. It is useless for you to know." Seeing Tu Su's gloomy expression, Fang Shao added, "But I know the thing you just mentioned. It is the Jade Cross, also called the Soul Casting Stone, which is an evil object that can preserve and absorb living souls. In ancient times, the Anyi and Longyuan tribes used it to draw out souls to cast swords. Later, after the Longyuan tribe was brought to the underworld by Nuwa, most of the Jade Cross were sealed in the Nuwa Emperor Temple, and only a small part was lost in the human world."
"Jade Horizon...Soul-Forging Stone...Queen Nuwa Temple..." Tu Su looked confused.
"You don't know about the Nuwa Temple?" Fang Shao was puzzled. Since the past has changed and Tu Su is not the only survivor, why does he still know nothing about the Nuwa Temple? "As far as I know, in the Wumeng Spirit Valley era, Nuwa was worshipped and was responsible for sealing the fierce sword Fen Ji..."
Tu Su shook his head in confusion. "I have never heard of the Queen Nuwa Temple. Maybe my mother and the village chief knew about it, but they are dead..."
Fang Shao nodded. This explanation made sense. Although Han Yunxi was young, he was the son of a great witch after all. If he didn't know something, the ordinary villagers might not know it either.
"Excuse me, Tusu. I would like to ask if you know the location of the Nuwa Temple. I would like to go there and pay a visit. Maybe they know something about it."
"I really don't know about this. The place where Nuwa lived in seclusion is so mysterious that it is impossible for a tavern owner like me to understand it." Of course, when you meet the woman who is as bright and beautiful as "Zhonghuang Qingxue" in the future, you can go to either the Earth Realm or the Nuwa Temple.
Although Tu Su was anxious, he was a polite person after all. Seeing that Fang Shao was unwilling to say more, he suppressed his many thoughts and asked again, "You just said that the time has not come yet, so when will it be considered that the time has come?"
"Probably because you met all the people you were supposed to meet." Fang Shao sighed. He then asked, "Where did you get into the bar from?"
Tu Su remained calm when he heard this seemingly strange question. Master Zi Yin had long guessed that the wine shop was a spiritual place outside the world, and entering it depended on fate. "Tu Su is in Fanyun Village on Chifeng Mountain outside Qinchuan."
Fanyun Village, this is when the game's plot officially begins. Fang Shao said, "I see. If you come here again next time, maybe I can help you with something. Well, I suggest you save more money or valuable things."
Tu Su didn't understand Fang Shao's last words, but nodded anyway. "Tu Su, I'll teach you."
Thinking of the long time interval between Tu Su's two appearances, Fang Shao asked about the bar card he had given him before. Sure enough, it was also lost in that tragic case and was nowhere to be found. Fang Shao didn't know if this had anything to do with it - after all, little Harry, who didn't have a card, was a regular at the bar, but he still issued a new card for Tu Su.
Tu Su carefully kept the card.
Fang Shao handed him the crayon drawing that Harry had left behind. "This is a gift from Harry to you."
Tu Su was stunned. He probably really forgot about this little friend. He looked at the two little people holding hands in the painting and thought for a while before he woke up to that little memory from long ago.
Tu Su put the painting away solemnly. If the two could meet again, perhaps they could continue this friendship.
Seeing the terrifying evil spirit on Tu Su disappear, the little black cat who had been staying aside quietly slipped out while the two were talking. The rain outside had stopped, and the alley was very quiet. There was no pedestrian on the street, only a few bicycles parked quietly on the roadside. Looking at the beautiful blue sky again, Xiao Hei meowed happily and immediately forgot about the scary human in black clothes just now.
The little cat glided lightly over the puddle on the ground and trotted off into the distance. The bar behind him stood still for a moment, then disappeared into the air like a phantom.
Seeing this magical scene, the man in purple clothes and long hair hiding in the corner narrowed his eyes and looked more serious.
What happened in that bar just now? Did the Demon Spirit Hall take action?
The long-haired man cautiously jumped to the place where the bar disappeared, sniffed around, but only found the scent left by Xiao Hei. Since being driven out of his hometown by humans and the guild, Feng Xi, who was already radical, has been hating humans more and more. During this time, he has gathered a group of fairies who also hate humans, preparing to counterattack Longyou and build a homeland exclusively for fairies there. In this plan, the little cat demon with domain ability is an indispensable part.
Regardless of whether the people in the bar had come into contact with the wandering goblin by chance or had already noticed their plan, they should speed up their pace. Feng Xi's eyes were firm, and he no longer hesitated, chasing in the direction the little cat demon left.
Xiao Hei's self-proclaimed secret action did not go unnoticed by the two people in the bar. The moment the little cat demon pushed the door open, Tu Su saw a modern village scenery that was completely different from Fanyun Village, which surprised him secretly and made him more convinced that this place was magical.
Money, valuable things. Tu Su, who was so short of money that he had to sell his military force to rescue people in Fanyun Village, made up his mind to work hard to save money.
After leaving the bar and returning to the familiar mountains, Tu Su walked towards Fanyun Village without hesitation. He did not notice that the fierce sword Fen Ji behind him was emitting a murderous aura.
In the Rain Master Temple in heaven, the young god with strange eyes woke up from his sleep in surprise.
He looked up. Although he could not see anything clearly, he seemed to be able to see the unchanging dark night sky outside the temple and the stars that had been shining eternally since ancient times.
"A new variable has arrived. The fate of Crown Prince Changqin...is about to change."
