Volume 4: Azure Dragon Changes the World Chapter 213: Seeing the Light of Day Again, Fengling Ancient Ferry
Chang'an City.
Lengxiang Garden.
At noon, the scorching sun hanging in the sky shines on the beautiful spring scenery. The sunlight reflects the pink peach blossoms and green willows, as well as several faces that change from solemn and gloomy to surprised and delighted.
Yan Shisan and Li Yaoshi suddenly appeared from the darkness and came from not far away.
They had been guarding here for eight days. Especially when they found out that Bai Yujing had made preparations and was still diverting the water, the two of them had no intention of leaving and stayed here the whole time. Even Ye Kai, Fu Hongxue and others hid in the dark.
The lives of Li Muchan and Shangguan Xiaoxian were too great a concern. Once word of the deaths of these two martial arts giants spread, the entire martial arts world would undoubtedly be in utter chaos. Then there was the mysterious power behind Baiyujing, those unfathomable, unknown masters of the temple...
With all these things happening, they definitely couldn't just leave like that. They had to take another look to see whether Li Muchan and Shangguan Xiaoxian were dead or not.
But most people have lost hope. Eight days have passed. No matter how strong they are, they are still flesh and blood and need to breathe. The chance of survival is too slim.
Except for Yan Shisan and Li Yaoshi, everyone still believed that Li Muchan was still alive.
Because this man is different from others. He started from humble beginnings and rose step by step from humble beginnings to survive. No matter whether he experienced a disaster or was in danger, he always survived to the end, and lived a vigorous life, disappointing his enemies and giving his friends infinite hope.
Anyone can die, anyone can die, but this person will live forever until his corpse is seen.
Yan Shisan's lifeless eyes were now shining. He almost forgot how many years it had been since his long-silent heart had been shaken like this.
Precisely because he believed that Li Muchan was still alive, he and Li Yaoshi were always ready to provide support, and even sneaked into the underground palace and fought their way in.
But now, the open space beneath their feet was trembling faintly.
He also heard a long whistling sound, which was faint but very penetrating, right under his feet.
Li Muchan was indeed still alive.
Yan Shisan knew that the open space under his feet was the dome of the underground palace. He had originally thought of drilling through it and destroying it. Now when he heard the sharp roar, he immediately understood what Li Muchan was planning.
The open space is filled with flowers of various colors, which are in full bloom and attract bees and butterflies.
Yan Shisan swung his sword, and all the flowers broke, and the petals flew up into the sky, revealing the dark brown soil underneath.
Pharmacist Li was still holding a rope in her hand. She was proficient in the art of insect poisoning and had been thinking of many ways these days. She could not hide the joy on her face. She rolled her hands and the strong wind pushed the soil like waves, removing all the soil layer by layer.
There was actually a layer of hard soil underneath.
"This is the dome," Yan Shisan reminded, his eyes suddenly fixed, as if he had sensed something. "Step back, be careful not to fall."
The two of them quickly retreated to the edge of the earthquake, their eyes constantly looking back and forth.
But the whistling sound soon stopped.
"Um?"
But Yan Shisan's gaze, sharper than a sword's edge, was fixed at this moment, staring at a position on the open field . He pulled the rope and leaped into the air, like a lightning sword that pierced the end of his sight.
The sword energy was everywhere, and several sword marks and gullies as deep as a foot suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Yan Shisan's eyes were cold, and he clenched the five fingers of his right hand. The black sword in his hand instantly emitted a black sword light and pierced the ground.
The sword fell.
There was actually a sharp sword energy coming out from under this shadow soil.
A rare smile appeared on Yan Shisan's ice-sculpture face, and he threw down the rope in his hand.
“Come up!”
As the words came out, two figures pulled the ropes and leaped out.
Li Muchan's voice rang out, "Be careful, the dome is about to collapse."
Everyone moved and retreated quickly, only to see that the empty field was like a broken eggshell, with pieces falling in the extending cracks.
In just a short while, Ye Kai, Fu Hongxue and others also rushed over after hearing the noise.
Seeing that Li Muchan and Shangguan Xiaoxian were both alive, they were surprised and amazed, and also secretly relieved.
Otherwise, once these two die, who can contend with the giant Qinglong Society?
Bai Yujing's ambition is no less than Gongzi Yu's. Once he gains power, he will regard himself as the sky. Not to mention the martial arts world, even the court will surely encounter drastic changes. So now they can barely be considered to be in the same camp and have the same enemy.
This catastrophe is not yet completely over, or perhaps it has not yet really begun.
Seeing the light of day again, Li Muchan suddenly had the illusion that he was in another world. He took a long-unseen deep breath, feeling the warmth brought by the sun, then stood on the edge of the dome, looking at the big hole like a sinkhole under his feet, and his eyes slanted towards the person who was also looking up, Bai Yujing.
This is a difficult person, and he will definitely become more difficult in the future, but the most difficult people are those behind him, who have connections and power over the government.
Bai Yujing's expression returned to a gentle tone. He swept his gaze over the faces that looked down at him, and finally looked at Li Muchan. He smiled calmly and said, "Pass the order down. Order the men in the city to kill them at all costs. A reward of 100,000 gold for each life!"
Li Muchan also laughed.
Good opponent.
"Let's go!"
He withdrew his gaze and turned away.
…
It is said that after leaving Chang'an City, everyone dispersed. Fu Hongxue was used to being alone. After witnessing the power of the wedding dress magic, he kept frowning and walked west without saying a word.
The constable named Yang who was holding the "parting hook" also hurried to the capital.
However, Ye Kai, Ding Linglin and Li Muchan and others traveled together, intending to go to Heluo by water.
This of course includes Shangguan Xiaoxian.
The group immediately ran until the sun set and dusk fell. Unknowingly, they had run more than two hundred miles. Seeing that there were no more spies of the Qinglong Society behind them, they slowed down their pace.
Ding Linglin was so tired that she was panting. She was the weakest among the group. If Ye Kai hadn't carried her all the way, she would have been unable to run.
Once she stopped, she leaned against an old tree to catch her breath, then sighed, "Alas, Gongzi Yu died, and now Bai Yujing has come. When will there be peace in this world?"
But after she finished speaking, she felt that her meaning was not right. After all, Li Muchan and Shangguan Xiaoxian were still there. Seeing them looking at her, she immediately gave a mischievous smile and quickly hid behind Ye Kai.
The evening breeze blew, and the muddy waves surged. Looking around, the muddy river seemed to have no end, as if it extended to the ends of the earth.
At the junction of the sky and the sea, there is a boatman rowing a boat, singing the simple and bold Qinqiang. He is barely visible from a distance, rising and falling in the river like a fly or an ant.
Everyone rested under some old trees on the shore and saw the name of this ancient ferry.
The dilapidated and old stone tablet had been through many vicissitudes of life, and three somewhat blurred words were engraved on it:
【Fenglingdu】
Li Muchan stood proudly, feeling the evening breeze blowing towards him, and gradually calmed down.
The others were also silent.
After this battle, after experiencing life and death, everyone's mind seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
Ye Kai, however, suddenly noticed something was amiss in the atmosphere. He glanced peculiarly at Pharmacist Li, then at Shangguan Xiaoxian. The two stood on the shore, one on each side, both stunningly beautiful. One was smiling, the other also smiling, but beneath their smiles lay a hint of competition.
Ye Kai's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he didn't dare to get on the boat.
He is not afraid of anything except women.
What's more, the identities of these two people are extraordinary. One is the leader of the Money Gang, and the other is the general manager of the World Alliance. If they really start fighting, Li Muchan will have to stand aside, and there will be no peace at that time.
But he also found it a little funny. Seeing that Li Muchan didn't notice anything at all and was still gazing at the sky and earth, he suddenly felt a lot more balanced.
This man is extraordinary, a hero of his time, but he knows nothing about love and affection. Unlike him...
Ye Kai was looking at Li Yaoshi and Shangguan Xiaoxian when he suddenly felt cold. He turned his head and saw Ding Linglin staring at him suspiciously. His expression froze and he smiled bitterly.
“Chiu!”
At this moment, Li Muchan suddenly pursed his lips and whistled, the sound was as clear as an oriole or a sparrow, extremely high-pitched, and could be heard from far away.
After a while, a large ship appeared on the river and sailed downstream.
The boatman followed the sound and was startled to see Li Muchan. "Leader, why are you here?"
"It's okay, I just came out for a walk," Li Muchan said gently, then turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, please get on board."
Seeing that everyone else had boarded the boat, Ye Kai hurriedly seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "I suddenly remembered that there is one thing I haven't done yet. Why don't you go first?"
Li Manqing was bewildered. The three of them came out together and had never been separated from the beginning to the end. How could there be anything else going on?
Only after the boat drifted away downstream did Li Manqing wonder, "Brother, what else have we not done?"
Ye Kai smiled bitterly and was about to explain when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves clacking from the shore.
The two brothers immediately became alert and turned around to look, only to hear a familiar cough coming from the carriage, followed by a gentle voice.
"Ahem...where are you two going?"
The two of them were stunned on the spot.
