Chapter 31 Chapter 31: The Fallen Ancient Dragon and the Stars

The whole world is filled with the sound of pattering rain. The rain master leans on the iron window and looks out. There is a dense line of rain between the sky and the earth, and the dark clouds above his head have not dispersed for three days and three nights.Rain Master sniffed himself, and smelled a musty smell. Outside the window is the Yellow River, which is running forward indomitably. There is no shortage of water in this place, but the damn rain is still falling, constantly falling.This is not the season of "Rain Chief", but this day is probably determined to drown the whole world.

"Don't stop falling, damn it! I really hate rain!" the Rain Master murmured. "I like it, I like it, let's go, let's drown the whole world, so we don't have to control the water!" Feng Bo was wearing a pair of underpants, practicing Qi in the room. Every time in the dead of night, Uncle Feng would practice qi, with his legs striding like a ball, his arms like a ball, his upper body with delicate ribs, and his thin and brown face faintly carrying a sense of immortality.Uncle Feng said that he has made progress, and his aura is getting stronger and stronger. Master Yu also believes that sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, it is clearly not windy, but Master Yu sees Uncle Feng's big underpants fluttering in the dark, like There is a round air flowing through it.

Master Yu said that you have a fart for refining qi, and you will only be here to control the water for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to kill the Yellow Emperor even if you practice qi all your life. Uncle Feng said no, I am not competing with Huang Di for better hand skills, I am competing with him for living longer.When that old guy dies, I want to hold my roundness and smile slightly. This is a war between me and him. "I think the biggest mistake I made in my life was choosing the wrong job." Master Yu said, "I really don't have the potential to join the underworld. Even if I join the underworld, I can't be the boss. Men are afraid of entering the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man."

"Something promising," Feng Bo said, "A man who doesn't want to have a harem is not a good man." "But we rebelled, rebelled, and did all the things a man should do, but we still haven't been able to have a harem," Yu Shi said, "I guess you will die as a virgin with your roundness , before that, you will live a long life and suffer from lovesickness." Feng Bo suddenly retracted his posture and looked up at the dripping roof. "What the hell are you doing?" Master Yu asked. "I'm thinking about which woman I will miss when I die," Uncle Feng turned to look at him, "Maybe it's Yunjin?"

"No, it must be the little girl's daughter of the owner of the deli!" Master Yu said. "Well said, now you admit that her poop is not big anymore?" Feng Bo said. "Actually, I thought she was pretty good-looking back then, with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes. I was just very jealous of you." Yu Shi lay on the straw, with his hands on the pillow. "Are you also jealous of Chi You?" Feng Bo asked. "Yeah, if Princess Yunjin likes me, I will draw a bow and set an arrow for her. The first arrow will kill her bastard father, the second arrow will kill the Yellow Emperor, and the next arrow will nail the sun to the zenith and stop time. She will never grow old. She likes Chi You like flowers stuck in cow dung."

"Fool, I heard that she is going to marry the Yellow Emperor. After many years, she will be the Yellow Emperor's concubine, Chi You will be the cavalry general, and we will be hard laborers by the Yellow River." Feng Bo said: "Don't regret your life, and practice Qi with me." Bar." "You have refined Qi to live as long as a tortoise, but when you die, you are alone. The Yellow Emperor did not live as long as you, but countless people wailed for him." Master Yu said. "I'm not alone, I still have you." Feng Bo said. "I didn't refine Qi, I will die earlier than you." Master Yu said.

He thought for a while, patted the coffin board used as a bed board, and hummed a song: Amid the pattering rain outside the window, someone hummed softly and sang for him with a clear and charming voice: "If you fall in love with a girl, you must protect her well. If someone wants to hurt her, you have to use a bow and arrow to kill her." shoot him." "Fairy, is that you?" Yu Shifeng's voice trembled. They pushed open the door, and there was a figure in armor standing in the rain, and the raindrops slapped on his armor. On his broad shoulder armor sat a girl with short skirt and long legs. Her seven-foot blue hair was wrapped around her white and transparent body. On his neck, the song was sung in a low voice, and the blue miasma spread out like a banner on his head.At his feet, a small goblin held a huge umbrella and raised her round face.

"I really hate rain. When it rains, there will be goblins." The rain master tilted his head and said to the girl. Yan Mei smiled lazily, with sadness and enchantment dancing in the smile. "Who is this? Your little brother?" Feng Bo looked at the iron guy who was being used as a mount by Qi Mei. "His name is Chi You, and he is my new younger brother." Yan Mei lightly stroked the helmet of that iron guy, with tears in her eyes like after a spring rain. "Are you joking?" Master Yu's expression changed. "Princess Yunjin you like is dead, she is pregnant with Huangdi's child." Qi Mei said.

Rain Master felt that his face was wet, he raised his head to face the thousands of raindrops shooting down in the dark clouds, and did not speak for a long time.The sky is full, and the rain is rustling underground. "Are we going to kill the Yellow Emperor?" Uncle Feng broke the silence, "I hate the woman who picks up my brother the most." "You might die." Qi Mei said, "I'm sorry for the qi you practiced for so long. If Master Yu went back to sleep on the coffin board now, and you continue to refine qi, you might live as long as a tortoise." "My mother told me when I was a child, don't open the door if someone talks outside the door in the middle of the night, because those are goblins pretending to be beautiful girls and come to eat you. As long as you don't open the door, you will be fine." Feng Bo said: " Now that I have opened the door, and I saw the beautiful girl as I wished, probably I can't turn back, right?" He tightened his belt, "It's disgusting, there are two kinds of people in the world that I can't refuse, one is the good-looking goblin , and the second is brothers. Chi You, don’t you think so?”

The armor was silent and did not answer. "He almost forgot, probably because his brain was broken by someone." Xie Yao said, "It's just that he wants to kill Huang Di very resentfully." "What's the use of a brother who has forgotten the boss?" Feng Bo said: "Unfortunately, the three most important things in the world are loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty. You have no loyalty, but I can't be without loyalty." "Where are we going?" Rain Master asked. "To the south, all the way to the south, we need to climb the Getianlu Mountain, cross the Yunmeng Lake in a boat, trek through the dense forest full of miasma, and then we will reach Jiuli." Said Mei.

Three people and two goblins trudged through the waist-high bushes, and Mo Mei plucked off a seven-foot-long cyan hair, which opened the way like a living snake, cutting through all the bushes on the way Minced.Rain Master raised his head and looked at the dense forest above his head. The blazing sunlight poured down from the gaps between the leaves, making his eyes hurt.Occasionally, a purple miasma drifted faintly around them, as beautiful as a veil, as deadly as snake venom, but it was broken by the enchanting blue miasma. The madman in iron armor walked in the front. He kept walking in the water without feet, and the green moss had grown to his knees. "Will Emperor Yan help us?" Uncle Feng asked, "This old man is a master of the world, but I think he is old and hasn't shown his power for many years." "Try your luck. I heard that the old man had eighty-one warriors under his command back then, all of whom were as mighty as Xing Tian. When Emperor Yan climbed up and shouted, Huang Di would tremble in fright?" Master Yu said, "It would be great if Xing Tian was still there. .” The madman stood still in front, and the two demons behind followed him, watching the madman rub the moss off a stone with his feet. It was a stele, written in tadpole-like characters: "Jiuli". "Hey, is this here?" Uncle Feng said, looking up, down, left, and right, "Why didn't anyone come to greet him? Isn't Chi You the grandson of Emperor Yan? He should have a lot of status here, right?" "Is it here to welcome it?" Rain Master pointed to a skeleton in front of him. It was penetrated by a spear from top to bottom. standing posture.I don’t know how many years that gun is. The copper gun head is full of green rust, and the gun barrel is more interesting. This piece of wood that has been cut down and polished has been revived over a long period of time and has grown into a A small tree opened a green canopy on top of the skull. "This is a sign used by the forest goblin as a warning," said sprite, "to warn ordinary people not to approach it lightly, because it is dangerous." "What danger?" Feng Bo asked. "Become like this too, with an umbrella on your head," said the sprite. "Little fairy, you are very cold every time you tell a joke, do you know that?" Uncle Feng felt a faint chill. The madman continued to walk forward, and the others followed behind him.After the blue hair smashed through the bushes, a stone road gradually appeared. Going forward, they saw houses.Those silent houses have stood silently in this place for decades or hundreds of years. They have all returned to life like the gun shaft, growing themselves into lush bushes, moss covering the surface of the wood, red, Blue and white flowers bloomed on the roof, huge roots penetrated the soil from the walls, and unknown green birds poked their heads out of the dark room and sang at these strangers. "Oh, Chi You's hometown is like this?" Feng Bo said, "No wonder he sometimes has the temperament of a poet." The denser and thicker shade covered most of the sunlight, and the cold became heavier and heavier. They walked in a forest-like city of Jiuli, and they couldn't see a single person. Finally, the madman stopped in front of a huge house, half of which had collapsed, and the other half was leaning on a tall fern, like a bloated and tired old man, and the door was like a big black door. The mouth, which has been so wide open for decades, waits for the prey to throw itself into the net.The madman pressed his forehead, as if he was thinking hard about something, but he shook his head again, probably not getting any answer. "This is Jiuli? How could Jiuli be..." Yan Mei looked around, "A dead city." "I've heard that the Yellow Emperor defeated Yanbu in the south and destroyed everything, but after a few years, it miraculously revived into a city again." Sprite said: "The squirrels told me that they Say, don't approach that city at night, there are only bones and crumbling houses there at night, the sun is the bell of that city, when the bell rings one way, when it quiets down it's another .” A rusty bronze bell was hung on a person-high shelf in front of the big house, shaking faintly in the gentle wind, but making no sound.Its wooden bell fell to the ground and grew into a blue flower. "Don't talk like a squirrel anymore, it will only show your childishness more and more." Xie Mei took Xiyong by the collar and put him on her shoulders. The madman walked towards the big black mouth slowly, brushed away the green radish hanging down like a door curtain, and walked in.The dark and silent big room still has the atmosphere of being inhabited. There is a small copper lamp on the table. The oil in the lamp bowl has dried up. There are wooden bows and arrows hanging on the wall. It has been used by people and has not bloomed like other woods. A wooden horse is shaking silently in the corner. Moss has covered the wooden floor, and a line of footprints is clearly discernible. "Someone!" Feng Bo said. They followed the set of footprints and entered a smaller room.On one bed they found a massive skeleton, wearing a rotting white cloth robe, every bone was a flame red, and a spider was weaving a web between its ribs.The skeleton held a huge tomahawk like a millstone in its hand, halfway inserted into the ground.The bed faced a huge window, and the sun shone on the fiery red bones, which was surprisingly warm and peaceful. "It's Emperor Yan." Yan Mei said, "He's dead, not too long, maybe a few years?" "Is it the hero of the predecessors?" Feng Bo said, "We should say goodbye." The rain master bowed, with a pious demeanor. "I guess you made a wish to overthrow the Yellow Emperor." Feng Bo said, "I also bow." "Little fairy, what are you making a wish for?" Uncle Feng found that the sprites were also praying. "Making this matter is over, Xie Mei will marry me, and will not leave me every day, listening to my story about squirrels." Xie Yao said. "Then you worshiped the wrong person." Qi Mei said. The madman stepped forward, stretched out his metal hand, and gently stroked the split ax blade.He grabbed the handle of the axe and pulled it hard.He failed the first time, and Emperor Yan's skeleton was gripping the ax tightly.The madman exerted force again, but his arm that could pull a mountain couldn't match those dry hand bones.They stalemate. "The old man has appeared!" Feng Bo said. The madman's dark eye holes were facing the skeleton's huge eye sockets, and the madman pulled the skeleton's upper body away from the bed. "It's not convenient for the grandpa and grandson to make eye contact now," Feng Bo said. He suddenly froze for a moment, and saw a gleam of light flow through the eye sockets of the skeleton, and he felt that he saw the eyes of an old man.The expression mixed with sadness, indifference, relief, desolation, etc., is everything accumulated by a person who has lived for decades, and it flashes by in that flash of light. Skeleton's hand slowly loosened, and he lay back on the bed weakly. The madman turned around and walked out with his battle ax in hand. A nymph with blue phosphorescent wings flew out of Skeleton's huge eye socket, lightly shining in the sunlight. dance lightly. Everyone walked out of the big house, and when they reached the copper bell, there was a loud bang from behind.The house crumbled, burying everything that had been there before. As the sun went down, they stood beside the stone tablet behind the ruins of the big house. The names of eighty-one people were engraved on the stone tablet. The madman stroked each name, as if trying to think hard. "What do you remember?" Qi Mei patted his shoulder. The madman shook his head. "Then let me tell you, they are all your brothers and sisters, the grandchildren of Emperor Yan. They have been dead for decades, and were killed by the Yellow Emperor on the battlefield of Banquan." Qi Mei said: "It is enough for your grief and anger." "I don't feel grief and anger," the madman knocked on his chest, making an "empty" sound, "I just want Zhuolu City to disappear, as well as the Yellow Emperor." "Why did you destroy Zhuolu City if you didn't feel sad and indignant?" Qi Mei asked. "I don't know why, but I feel sad when I think about it." Behind the stele is a tomb. The tomb has been dug up, and the tombstone is skewed. Yu Shi, Feng Bo, and Yaoyao surround the tomb, and Yaoyao is reading the ancient tadpole characters on it. "It is indeed the joint burial tomb of 'Xing Tian and Wasabi'," said Xie Yao, "it was carved with an axe, and Emperor Yan did it." "So that guy has been a walking corpse?" Uncle Feng said, "He died in the battle at Banquan, but he came back to life and has been following Chi You. Thinking about it makes people feel dizzy. He always has a lewd and sunny smile on his face, as well as the chest hair that grows like a dense forest and a body full of tendons, how can he look like a walking corpse? We have lived with him for so long!" Rain Master looked in the direction of the madman, "It's about the same as the one over there, and we don't feel terrible now." "I saw the name 'Wasabi' on that stele." Sprite said. "Chi You's sister," Yu Shi said, "so Xing Tian is Chi You's brother-in-law." "He hooked up with so many widows in Zhuolu City, and those people were all the wives of the dead ghosts of the Xuanyuan tribe during the Battle of Banquan?" Feng Bo said, "Could it be that this guy wants to get back what he lost on another battlefield? " "He probably can't remember, right? He just wanted to find that woman back then." Master Yu said, "I found one after another, like a bear breaking corn, and then threw it away, because I couldn't find the one he wanted to eat." "Don't tell Chi You?" Feng Bo said, "Anyway, I don't think he really cares." "He can't remember, isn't that good?" Yu Shi tapped his head, "Sometimes people are sad because their memory is too good." They walked to Kuang Mo and Mi Mei, Yu Shi patted Kuang Mo on the shoulder, "Okay, everything is clear, the so-called Jiuli is just a ghost town, you are living in this ghost town... the only living person , and the other one is Emperor Yan. Those people you remember when you were young are all ghosts, maybe because of unwillingness, maybe because they are hard to move, they were imprisoned in this Jiuli City." "Of course you can't be said to be a living person now, so...maybe it's easier to communicate with your neighbors." Feng Bo said. "The sun is setting." Qi Mei said. At this moment, the blood-colored sunset fell on the mountains in the west, and the sunlight was quickly taken away from the earth. The boundary between light and darkness swept across them. Both Yushi and Fengbo heard the moment when light and dark alternated, and the light was like the wind. The general flow of sound.Bells rang in the silent city at night, and the copper thing that had lost its tongue swayed and rang for no reason. The wind swept across the city that had been sleeping in the dense forest for decades, and the flowers on the houses were rapidly withering. White, cyan, and red petals fell in the wind, like a heavy snow of goose feathers. The vines and branches on the roof shrank like the ebb tide, and the moss that occupied the ground receded in all directions like an ant colony, revealing Original stone floor.The fern shook its body like a living giant, erecting the collapsed house again. There was a knock on the door from the inside out in the silent house, and then one door after another opened, and Shennongbu people in white, blue and red clothes walked out of their own rooms, there were burly and strong men, and some The pretty girls in short skirts greeted each other with smiles, in twos and threes, shoulder to shoulder, gathered in front of the big house, completely unaware of the three living people and two goblins on the side of the road. "Is it a ghost banquet?" Uncle Feng said, "It looks very warm, like a spring club. I thought we should be grilled for dinner at a time like this." "You're the most nonsense among us now," said Qi Mei. "No way, you all have your own concerns," Feng Bo said: "Master Yu has a crush on Princess Yunjin, you have a crush on my younger brother, and your senior brother has a crush on you, and you all have reasons to seek Huangdi's life, and I'm the only one here Help. Of course I also have my ambition, that is, when we capture Zhuolu City, I will put my arms around the small waist of the girl who owns the delicatessen shop, kiss her mouth, and eat big pieces of meat at the same time! " "Maybe she's already married." Qi Mei said. "Then I'll kill her husband and eat big pieces of meat while kissing her mouth!" "I seem to have seen Xing Tian just now..." Yu Shi suddenly said beside him, "He walked by, holding a girl's arm." Sure enough, the ghosts of the Ministry of Shennong set up a spring club in front of the big house, playing and singing, beating gongs and drums, resounding through the sky.They set up a huge statue of the god of the earth beside the bronze bell, and a group of people worshiped it from a distance. The naughty girls went up and put honey on the mouth of the statue, hoping that it would bring a good harvest to the land.The boys and the girls looked at each other, they didn't know where they brought a large altar of sweet wine, served them in bowls, and drank them freely. A handsome young man put on two pheasant tail feathers, and sang and danced like a hero. , the onlookers applauded. "I'm so happy. I don't know if I can drink a few bowls of that wine." Uncle Feng said. "If you drink ghost wine, you will become a ghost," said the sprite. "So what?" Feng Bo said. The roaring sound of metal interrupted the music of the Spring Club, and those drunken people quieted down at the same moment, their faces all turned iron blue, and they turned their heads in unison, looking at Uncle Yu Shifeng. Tong Libai was pitifully expressionless. Uncle Feng shivered, and asked Kuang Mo: "Why did you hit your ax when you're fine?" The madman didn't answer him, and tapped the surface of the tomahawk with his metal fingers, knocking off some dark green patina every time.He struck harder and harder, until at last the tomahawk gave a loud, thunderous bang.He raised his battle-axe above his head and roared war into the night sky. The strong wind swept across the entire Jiuli City with his roar, tearing the clothes of men and women. Their festive costumes were torn, but what was exposed was not the skin. Metal armor grew out of their skin, and weapons were naturally held. in hand.They woke up, holding up their weapons and roaring like crazy demons. The roars of thousands of people gathered together, and the sound waves were so loud that they could echo between the sky and the earth. The sound wave did not suppress a faint sigh coming from the dark door of the big house. Zhuolu City, Houtu Palace. After the wind rushed to the hall, the Yellow Emperor was sitting on his throne in a daze. "They're back, tens of thousands of people." Fenghou said, "They're arrayed on the other side of the river, and they're about to attack." "Forbid dancing and music, let's fight." Huang Di said calmly. Feng Hou was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, don't ask who they are?" "Do you still need to ask?" Huangdi said: "Actually, I have been waiting for this day for many years, but last night I had a very long dream and was awakened." "What dream?" "I dreamed that the child that Emperor Yan dug out from that woman's belly gave birth to an iron armor in the wind and turned into a madman."
