[I don't know where Red Hair has been lately, so it seems a bit of a waste to use the Demon Lord Order...Brother Guan, if you don't have anything else important to do, can you come and accompany me?] Jingtian sent a message on the forum.

[...I'm not your Chonglou, why do you want me to accompany you for no reason?] Guan Liyuan felt his back garden tighten.

[Around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, the "Moonlight City" will appear here, and "Fei Peng Xi Yao" also appears at this time...I suspect that it is a small demon world, which periodically appears at the border with the human world every year.

I have read some ancient secrets. It is said that the Qionghua School of the Eight Schools of Kunlun once tried to go against the will of heaven and restrain a demon world that would periodically approach the human world for its own use, but was eventually punished by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and fell...

It can be seen that every time the demon world operates, it may not necessarily interact with the human world, and sometimes it has to be specially restrained...If this time it is just approaching the human world without interacting, or if "Fei Peng Xi Yao" fails to enter the human world, I may need your spatial ability to help! 】 Jingtian explained.

If "Fei Peng Xi Yao" is the elf transformed by Xi Yao, then it should not be in Moonlight City. The reason why it always appears with Moonlight City should be because of the overlap of space... The reason

why Xi Yao was split into countless elves is because the God Realm still needs her to take care of the God Tree. After the Pangu World was shattered and the God Tree matured at the end of the God and Demon War, the spatial structure of the Immortal Sword World was largely related to the God Tree.

The Central God Realm is equivalent to the crown of the top of the God Tree. The God Realms opened up by other God Emperors are considered to be the small crowns around. The so-called demon world and fairy world are also fragments of Pangu World that fell on the leaves, so the spiritual energy is particularly abundant, while the human world is in the shade of the tree.

The trunk where "Fei Peng Xi Yao" usually works is equivalent to the gap between the various planes.

Therefore, when the "branch" of "Moonlight City" hangs down and approaches the human world, "Fei Peng Xi Yao" will coincidentally enter the human world.

Jingtian's current realm has not yet reached the realm of the True Immortal, and he does not have any space-related magical powers. "Money makes the world go round" has not yet developed the corresponding use...

Of course, they have been socializing every year before, and the possibility of an accident today is not great, so Jingtian did not contact Guan Liyuan before, but now that Guan Liyuan took the initiative to ask, he nervously said it.

In case Moonlight City does not appear, or "Fei Peng Xi Yao" fails to enter the human world, he can also ask Guan Liyuan to forcibly open a space tunnel.

Guan Liyuan thought about it, then glanced at Xu Changqing and said: "Brother Xu, Xiaotian seems to have some difficulties in Shidong, I am going to go there, you..."

"Oh? Then I will go too." Xu Changqing said.

Otherwise, he can still stay and stare at Qingleng?

Guan Liyuan originally meant this - he always felt that Xu Changqing's current state was not right, it seemed... a little too indifferent!

It seemed that he could no longer fit in the outside world in his eyes, as if he had become a real "outside world".

Although he was not worried that a True Immortal would be so depressed that he would commit suicide for love after 17 years, Guan Liyuan estimated that it was likely that after Xu Changqing saw him and Jingtian for the "last time", he would shrink into some deserted corner and sit there to fend for himself...

Otherwise, as in the original work, how could he, an immortal who must still be alive, be indifferent during the calamity of worshiping the moon?

With the True Immortal's instinctive breathing of spiritual energy, he could also remain immortal for a hundred years, but he could not resist the fact that he had no contact with the outside world.

Guan Liyuan felt that after Shushan no longer needed him, it would be better to find him some "interests"!

Going to Shidong together was just a temporary measure.

When Xuejian heard that Guan Liyuan was going to "play" in Southern Xinjiang, she immediately clamored to follow him.

Anyway, it was not a dangerous thing, so Guan Liyuan agreed, and even Huaying and Wang Pengxu came with him...

It was just a small demon world, there was no situation that a "True Immortal" could not solve, if there was... just two people would go!

However, although Xu Changqing and Guan Liyuan were both true immortals, they had never been to Shidong, so they could not directly move through space. Although

Xu Changqing had already untied the "Seven Star Sword", he was still "flying the sword" with his spiritual energy, which was still not enough to describe as "speeding like a whirlwind". Guan Liyuan himself had the magical power of space and reached the realm of true immortals. After stepping into the forbidden area of ​​Yuzhidao, he directly took Xuejian, Huaying, and Xiaoxu to travel through space...

In a short time, the two rushed from Luluo Mountain to Nanjiang, Manzhou, and the outside of Shidong City.

Shidong City is just a small city, with a size similar to that of a small town. Jingtian had already received the news and was waiting for Guan Liyuan and others outside the city.

"Brother Xu? You are here too?" Jingtian said in surprise.

"I heard that you are looking for 'Fei Peng Xiyao'. Is it related to the goddess Xiyao? I will also help you look for it." Xu Changqing said. "

Hey, after Xiyao was punished by heaven, she has transformed into hundreds of millions of elves, and some of them have drifted to the human world. If you find her... it's just to express your grief." Jingtian said sadly.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing patted Jingtian on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Xiaotian, at least as long as you don't give up, you and Xiyao... will have a chance to see each other again, and Zixuan and I..."

Seeing that Xu Changqing's memories had been evoked, Jingtian quickly restrained his emotions.

Xuejian felt a little sympathetic to Xu Changqing, but still remembered what Guan Liyuan said, not to reveal the matter of Zixuan's residual soul.

As for Guan Liyuan... he stared at Jingtian - Xiyao was punished by heaven, her body was destroyed, and she was split into countless spirits without intelligence. It was he who asked Shuming about the matter of continuing to maintain the sacred tree! Fortunately,

Xu Changqing's heart was dead now, and he was not curious about Jingtian's source of information at all...

"Are there any clues about the demon world now?" Xu Changqing asked.

"The demon world is called 'Moonlight City' by the Miao people of Shidong. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will appear under the moonlight... But Feipeng Xiyao and the demon world just appear at the same time, and it should not come out of the demon world." Jingtian said.

"Is it a demon city?" Xu Changqing frowned.

If it is a "Monster City", it means that this demon world should be very strong, and... it has a perfect order.

"No, it's just a forest. Because the surrounding trees are very neat and look like a city wall, and it appears under the moonlight, it is called the 'Moonlight City'." Jingtian said.

"Has anyone been in there?" Xu Changqing asked.

"It is rumored that many people have been in there, but... few have come out alive. It is said that there are many ferocious monsters in the forest! But I have found out that someone in the city has seen 'Fei Peng Xi Yao', and it seems that there is another person who has entered the Moonlight City several times." Jingtian said.

As Jingtian talked, he led everyone into Shidong City. Although it was called a "city", the architecture was still very Miao-style. Unlike the Han city, which had "Taoist temples and temples outside and city gods and land gods inside", there was no city god temple in the Miao Shidong City, but there were many Nuwa temples.

Nuwa, as the ancestor of mankind and the emperor of mankind, was the common ancestor worshipped by the human race. However, only the Miao people in southern Xinjiang still worshipped Nuwa as a belief on weekdays.

The same was true for the Nanjiang Xianmen, where people worshipped Nuwa far more than those worshipped the Taoist ancestor or other Daluo.

The Miao people in the Xianjian world now have dozens of branches, among which the most mainstream are the black Miao and white Miao branches.

Although the black Miao and white Miao have a common belief in Nuwa, they now hate each other and fight from generation to generation, so southern Xinjiang also seems very desolate.

Xu Changqing was naturally a disciple of the Taoist sect, but because of Zixuan and the original spiritual energy of Nuwa, there was no reason not to go in and take a look when he passed by the Nuwa Temple.

As luck would have it, although it was late at night, when everyone came in, there were people praying in the Nuwa Temple...

"Niangniang Nuwa, I beg you, please bless Brother Lu to come back safely and with less injuries. I also beg you to let Brother Lu forget about Sister Yuewei, and tell him not to take unnecessary risks, and not to get hurt because of impossible things. Brother Lu is too pitiful..." A young woman wearing silver jewelry on her head, a silver ring on her neck, a short shirt and a skirt, and dressed in what looked like local Miao clothing, was praying in front of the Nuwa statue.

Guan Liyuan also stopped and stared at Xiaoxu, the offering fruit, to prevent her from doing anything rude...

"Nuwa, you say... Is Brother Lu possessed by an evil spirit? Sister Yuewei has been captured by a monster for three years, and her body may have turned into bones. Even if the monster is killed, what can it do? Moreover, he always returns with serious injuries every time he enters Moonlight City. I heard that there are countless monsters there. Even if he is a mortal, he can't defeat them. Why does he still do this?"

The believer in front of the Nuwa statue has not noticed that someone has come in, and is still "praying"...

The belief in Nuwa in southern Xinjiang has not risen to the level of pursuing sacrificial systems and etiquette norms. In the eyes of the Miao people, Nuwa is their ancestor, and respect from the heart is not so particular.

In the Taoist temples and temples in the Central Plains, you will never see believers who seem to be "chatting" with the statues.

"Captured by monsters? Girl, do the monsters in Moonlight City you are talking about still eat and harm people?" Xu Changqing said at this time.

Although Xu Changqing has left Shushan, his heart of defending the Dao with a sword has not left Xu Changqing.

Moreover, this little girl was praying to the statue of Nuwa - if she didn't hear it, it would be fine, but since she heard it, Xu Changqing couldn't just sit back and watch...

Whether it was because of Zixuan or because of Nuwa's original spiritual energy, Xu Changqing felt that he had an obligation to respond on behalf of the great goddess Nuwa!

"Ah! Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping on me?" The little girl said in surprise, and kept staring at Guan Liyuan.

After all... snow-white hair, snow-white skin, and even silver-white pupils, even though there are many people in the world of Xianjian who "have strange phenomena", Guan Liyuan's appearance is still very conspicuous!

"Uh... Don't be afraid, girl, we are not good people... Ahem, not bad people. Did this guy see it? He has a strong sense of justice. If you have any difficulties, you can ask him for help!" Guan Liyuan quickly took the initiative to help Xu Changqing find something to do.

Although Xu Changqing was helpless with Guan Liyuan's statement, he had indeed decided to intervene, so he took the initiative to speak: "Girl, I just heard you mention monsters... I used to be a disciple of Shushan, and... my late wife was also a believer of Nuwa. I think what I heard from you here may also be the guidance of Nuwa. If it is about exorcising monsters, you may as well tell me about it."

After the Southern Xinjiang and the Central Earth Immortal Sect fell out, although they did not specifically expel Shushan disciples, they were also very cold. Over time, there were very few Shushan disciples coming here. After more than ten years, ordinary people in Southern Xinjiang almost forgot "Shushan".

"Shushan... sounds familiar... Right! Is it a big demon-exorcist sect in the Central Earth?" The little girl thought about it and remembered it.

In addition, the sadness in Xu Changqing's eyes when he mentioned his "late wife" made the little girl instinctively believe him.

"You are a disciple of Shushan? That's great... If you can really help me rescue Brother Lu, I will do anything for Li Gong! I don't ask for anything now, as long as Brother Lu is safe, I will be willing even if he never talks to me again!"

It turns out that this little girl is called "Li Gong".

And it can be basically seen that she has feelings for that "Brother Lu"...

"Miss Li Gong, there is no need to be like this. Since it is the guidance of the Goddess Nuwa, just tell me if you have any difficulties... Was your Brother Lu captured by a monster?" Xu Changqing asked.

"No... But it will be soon! If this goes on, Brother Lu will not be safe every time..." Li Gong said in confusion.

Xu Changqing used some mental soothing tricks to calm her down, and then he got useful clues from her.

The so-called "Brother Lu" is named Lu Beiting. As you can see from the name, he is a descendant of the Han family.

He is also a knight who travels all over the country. Three years ago, he came to Shidong with his fiancée Yue Wei. In order to pursue the

black iron for making weapons, he ventured into Moonlight City. As a result, his fiancée Yue Wei "disappeared" in Moonlight City... As for the reason, Lu Beiting has always refused to say, but for two consecutive years, Lu Beiting would break into Moonlight City to look for Yue Wei.

However, he failed every time...

It's strange to say that Lu Beiting, a mortal knight, should have a narrow escape after entering, and... Indeed, Lu Beiting was seriously injured every time, but the next morning, Li Gong could always find him at the place where he disappeared in Moonlight City, and his wounds were bandaged properly!

This has been the case for two consecutive years. Today... Lu Beiting will go there too.

Although Li Gong doesn't know the reason why Lu Beiting survived, he also understands... With such an adventure, maybe one of them will make him stay in it forever!

"Well? Could it be that Moonlight City has appeared tonight?" Jingtian asked.

"That's right. When the moonlight is outside the city, casting a phosphorescent road, walking on it... you can reach 'Moonlight City'!" Li Gong said.

"Phosphorescence... OK, Miss Li Gong, don't worry, I will go explore Moonlight City. As long as Lu Beiting is still alive, I will definitely bring him out." Xu Changqing said.

"Ah! Well, then thank you very much, Immortal Xu... By the way! There are many monsters in Moonlight City. Do you need any weapons? My family runs a weapons shop. You can take any you like..." Li Gong was happy to have the help of the Shushan Immortal, but she was also a little worried that they were not strong enough and would be implicated, and she felt a little uneasy.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing just smiled and said, "Now I am just a casual cultivator, I can't be called an immortal, and I'm not used to using any weapons... Brother Guan, Xiaotian, you wait here, I'll be back soon."

Li Gong was stunned when she heard that. She originally thought that... the woman and the child (Huaying) would be fine, at least Guan Liyuan and Jingtian would go too!

Who would have thought that he was a coward, just watching his friends take risks? Li Gong couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous...

but she didn't know that in the eyes of Xu Changqing and others, let alone a little-known demon world, even those fierce and powerful demon worlds were not worth the three of them to take action together!

"Xu, Xu..." Li Gong didn't know how to address him for a moment.

"Just call him 'Big Brother Xu'." Guan Liyuan reminded him.

Li Gong didn't know that if she counted her real age, she should call him "Uncle Xu", and Xu Changqing also looked at Guan Liyuan with a complaint.

"Brother Xu, have a safe journey." Li Gong blessed him, and at the same time muttered softly: "As long as Brother Lu can come back, I will never ask for things that are not destined to be mine! And I will not go looking for 'Fei Peng Xi Yao'..."

Upon hearing this, Jingtian couldn't help but ask hurriedly: "Ah! Are you the one who found 'Fei Peng Xi Yao'? Miss, can you tell me where exactly she is?"

Li Gong looked at Guan Liyuan curiously, and then... there seemed to be some "idea" in his eyes.
