Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 42 Flowers Fall and Water Flows
Shamo City, this ancient city with a history of thousands of years, is definitely not inferior to Yonghui City in terms of grandeur and prosperity, but there are natural differences between the two.
If Yonghui City is a civilized and free city-state, then Shamo City is definitely a city with a strong historical atmosphere, and is more traditional and ancient.
In fact, Yao Ji and the others did not live in the city. Shamo City was a city with only three walls and backed by the Shamo Sacred Mountain. The top wizards of the Shamo clan all lived in the mountains. After all, it was quiet there and conducive to practice. Their most sacred Shamo Temple was at the top of the Shamo Sacred Mountain.
Of course, ordinary people are not qualified to enter and exit the Shamo Temple at will. Only Shamo's chief wizard and elders are qualified to live there. Disciples of their generation, such as Yao Ji and Wu Su, who are highly regarded, live in a place called "Qingxinju" halfway up the mountain. Therefore, the ancient city of Shamo at the foot of the mountain is not something they can come and go . In addition to the Shamo wizards guarding the mountain, there is also a layer of natural barrier protection. Ordinary people cannot break in without permission, and people in the mountain cannot go down the mountain at will. So it is no wonder that Yao Ji always pestered Wu Su to take her for a walk.
The disciples who practice in the mountains are subject to strict rules and regulations. Without the permission of the elders, they cannot easily leave the place of practice. Especially Yao Ji, who was one of the reincarnated spirit children designated by the elders. In a few months, she will participate in the selection ceremony of the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe. She is even more forbidden to walk around freely. Everyone guards them like rare treasures.
In fact, many people privately thought that Yao Ji had no chance. Although she luckily won the first place in the Yonghui Martial Arts Competition, that was under the premise that several of her fellow sisters did not participate. Compared with the other sisters who were also designated as reincarnated spirit children, her cultivation was not the highest, and her temperament was too naughty. And most importantly, she did not seem to be diligent at all, and was not keen on becoming the chief wizard, as if everything had nothing to do with her at all.
In the words of the senior teachers, he is too free and undisciplined by nature and cannot handle big responsibilities.
However, before the final ceremony, no one dared to say anything so absolutely. After all, the person who finally chose the chief wizard of Shamo was their Shamo god Jianyi. In principle, the probability of the women being chosen as reincarnated spirit children was equal, and it was not necessarily based on their cultivation. Moreover, no one dared to deny Yao Ji's talent in witchcraft.
Therefore, the wizards in charge of guarding her could only turn a blind eye to her behavior of taking advantage of the situation and going out for a stroll with her senior brother Wusu today. After all, Wusu was there to support her. Everyone knew that Wusu would become the great elder Shamo in the future. As the saying goes, one should give face to the Buddha even if it means not the monk.
They all look like country bumpkins coming to the city.
But what really struck Ying Lili as fascinating was the ancient city of Shamo itself. The uniform stone pavement beneath her feet, worn to a gleaming shine , bore witness to the city's ancient past. Ancient dwellings stood in a continuous row, their dark roofs and light grey gables forming a continuous mass.
Sickle-shaped mark.
But it is still magnificent, adding a touch of mysterious classical atmosphere to the city.
Moreover, the wood used is also extremely unique. If you get close to it and smell it, you can smell a strange fragrance. Ping Lili seemed to have discovered a new world and was extremely interested in the carvings. If Wu Su had not urged her to move forward, she would have wanted to rush over and take a look at every house.
If these were placed in the present world, they would be extraordinary cultural relics!
What a shame, what a shame! Ying Lili drooled over these exquisite carvings and shook her head. It was a shame there weren't digital cameras in this day and age. How wonderful it would be if I could take pictures of all these and take them out to reminisce when I had free time!
Suddenly, Ying Lili was amused by her own sudden thought. What did she call this? She was wearing clothes again and again, and she was a time traveler?
But could I go back? I'd used the power of Lian Ruo to travel through time, but now Lian Ruo was gone. Even if it was the Netherworld five hundred years from now, I didn't know how to get back, let alone the real world. Thinking about it now, it seemed as far away as the moon in the mirror or the flower in the water, unattainable. What if I couldn't find a way back? Was I going to have to live as Yao Ji for the rest of my life? As I thought about this, a sudden, inexplicable cloud of gloom descended over me.
As if noticing her sudden downturn, Wu Su thought she was worried about something else and quickly stepped forward to console her, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come out for a stroll, why are you looking so sad? There's something more interesting ahead. Come on, I'll show you around."
Although Wu Su was not sent down the mountain by the elder master for fun this time, he was still happy if he could take a break from his busy schedule to make his junior sister happy for a while. At this moment, he rarely put aside the task assigned to him by the elders and prepared to take a half-day break to play with his junior sister.
Only then did Gong Lili come back to her senses and quickly put away her gloomy mood. She changed her mind and thought that since it was the power of "Lian Ruo" that suddenly brought her here, maybe one day he would suddenly appear and take her back. There was no point in thinking about those things now. What's more, all the plans she had made before had not been implemented yet. How could she have the time to feel sorry for herself here? Never mind, just take it one step at a time.
Thinking of this, a bright smile immediately blossomed on her face. She walked forward and pulled Wu Su's sleeve without any hesitation and said, "Brother Wu Su, let's walk around again. I'm almost suffocating in the mountains~"
In fact, what she wanted to go to most now was naturally places like city walls, rather than residential houses, but she knew that she couldn't bring it up on her own initiative, as that would seem too abrupt, so she could only let Wu Su take her around under the pretext of having fun.
Wu Su naturally had no idea of the many twists and turns in the woman's mind. He caressed her long hair lovingly and chuckled, "This isn't the first time you've sneaked with me to Shamo City. Didn't you complain before that Shamo City was all the same and nothing fun? Why do you seem like a completely different person today?"
The words were spoken unintentionally, but the listener took them seriously. Ping Lili was slightly startled, her eyelids twitching imperceptibly. She quickly warned herself not to get too carried away and let Wu Su see through her flaws. However, she had no memory of Yao Ji and Wu Su getting along, and she had no idea how they had gotten along before. Fortunately, she had a lame excuse, otherwise Wu Su would have been suspicious long ago.
On second thought, no matter how they got along in the past, if she wanted to get closer to Wu Su and understand him better, she had to be thick-skinned and stick to him more. With this in mind, a flattering smile appeared on Ping Lili's face. "Brother, you know I've been locked up by my uncles for over a month. As long as I'm not allowed to get moldy in the mountains, everything will be fresh."
This remark gave Wu Su a tinge of pity. He knew that this little sister had always been lively and active. Perhaps the previous confinement had really suffocated her? Thinking of this, he felt that her current unusual behavior was nothing unusual.
"Let's go, I'll take you around again." Perhaps influenced by her high spirits , Wu Su felt that his mood also became inexplicably comfortable. He subconsciously reached out to hold her little hand, but Ping Lili dodged it lightly as if nothing happened. She pretended to be attracted by something else and quickly passed by him.
Although Yinglili was deliberately getting close to Wusu under the guise of a beauty trap, she had no intention of letting Wusu really take advantage of her. This was the more conservative side of Yinglili as a modern person. Perhaps she had already decided on Mo Yi in her heart, so apart from Mo Yi, no matter whether it was false or just a show, she would stop at the right time. This was Yinglili's inexplicable insistence.
Fortunately, Wu Su did not notice this small detail. When he looked at her smiling face, a hint of tenderness arose in his heart. It seemed that only when he was with her could he experience the happiness of being an ordinary person, rather than the usually stern and serious chief disciple of the Shamo Temple.
But at this moment, Wu Su's eyes suddenly flashed with something strange. He felt a sudden strangeness: "Be careful!"
With a "whoosh" sound, along with the sound of the light arrow breaking through the air, Wu Su leaped forward and suddenly knocked the person in front of him who was looking around to the ground!
In fact, Gong Lili had already sensed the arrow that broke through the air in the first instant. In fact, it was a very common light arrow technique, not a very powerful spell. It was just because the person who used this technique had extraordinary cultivation, so this ordinary move also carried earth-shattering lethality!
But Gong Lili knew that she couldn't take action. Firstly, she couldn't judge Yao Ji's current cultivation level and was afraid that if she acted rashly, she would reveal her true strength. Secondly, she also wanted to take the opportunity to see Wu Su's attack. She knew that even though Wu Su was still young, he should be able to handle this level of sneak attack. This gave her a chance to study and figure out his attack.
Sure enough, after Wu Su protected Gong Lili, his eyes suddenly became deep. With a wave of his purple robe, beams of golden light flew out from his fingertips and broke through the air in a certain direction!
