Chapter 100 Chapter 1 Returning to Hometown

"There's something that I've never been able to figure out..." On a cloudy and rainless afternoon, Yi Yangjiu stood in the wilderness, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, frowning like this. The air is filled with the dullness of the coming heavy rain. Yi Yangjiu, Kai Fang, Yi Ya, and Shu Diao are wearing coir raincoats and walking on the wilderness outside the city-state. After leaving Yangcheng in Lu State, several people walked towards their hometown of Wei State according to Sang Yang Suyin's instructions before his death. Because if what Sangyang Suyin said is correct, the third Yuanying "Jumang" that Yiyangjiu is looking for is in Weiguo.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five nascent infants. At this moment, the earth infant "Ben Yang" and the golden infant "shame harvest" have been found. That is to say, in order to save Ji Yingchu, the wife of the petrified Yiyang Nine, and to find the three Nascent Souls in other feudal kingdoms. Muying "Jumang" is in Weiguo. Huoying "Zhu Rong" is located between the Jin and Xirong Di tribes. Shuiying "Wangxiang" is located in Qin State. But Sangyang Suyin, who was most familiar with the matter of Yuanshen, had already died in the battle of Yangcheng.

It was already an extremely difficult journey, but now we have lost a Master who guides everyone in the direction. Seeing that this journey is becoming more and more difficult and dangerous. What's more, Sangyang Suyin also said that the closer to the western border, the stronger the power of the evil god Nandou clan. Looking at the thick lead clouds in the sky, it seems to be reminding them that there are extremely dangerous obstacles waiting for them in the far west. "Can't figure out what?" Yi Ya said impatiently.His body was originally obese, and over the years he has gained weight because of his age. Walking is quite hard, and because the clouds are not raining, the air is gloomy and sticky, and he is sweating profusely, getting mixed up on the road The dust on the road is even more unpleasant.

"It's you who farts." Yi Yangjiu glared at him, but he was not interested in bickering with him, and just let out a long sigh. "It's nothing, I just remembered a sentence that Senior Sangyang said to me before he died in Yangcheng." Everyone thought of this gentle middle-aged man's kind and friendly smile, and thought of his life, his entangled love and resentment, and they couldn't help feeling a little sad. "Him?" Kai Fang pondered for a while, then asked curiously: "What did he say to you before he died?" "He speaks in a strange way..." Yi Yangjiu scratched his head, frowned and said, "He said: 'Little Jiu... I'm sorry for you...'"

"I'm sorry for Haosheng?" At this time, Shu Diao also leaned over and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" "I don't know either," Yi Yangjiu shook his head. "I have no idea what he's talking about." Kai Fang stroked his chin, thinking quietly, but slowly shaking his head. "Why am I sorry for you... Then, what happened later?" "Afterwards, I couldn't speak anymore. At that time, the mourning hall was about to collapse completely, and Senior Sangyang had only one breath left. The situation was very urgent, so I had no choice but to let Luoye escape with everyone."

"I didn't hear what he said again?" Shu Diao asked curiously. "It's not that I didn't hear it," Yiyang Jiu sighed, "I think, at that time, Senior Sangyang was not far from dying, and there was no time to say anything." "I'm so sorry..." Shu Diao murmured again: "This is interesting..." Yi Ya, who was panting and walking beside him, didn't open his mouth at first, but at this moment he rolled his eyes strangely, and suddenly called out "ah". Yi Yangjiu frowned, and was about to punch him, but Yi Ya said with a smile: "Isn't it simple to know why Senior Sangyang said that?" He grinned and said: " Ask the fortune-teller's soul to come out and ask, will it be over?"

Both Yiyangjiu and Shu Diao laughed suddenly, and couldn't help but look behind Kaifang, the old man-like primordial spirit - "Jieyou". The primordial spirit of Kaifang "Jieyou" has the unique ability of predicting and divination. This primordial spirit can tell you any future you want to predict in different ways of expression and in the form of various messages. Over the years, Kaifang, Yi Ya and others have improved their ability to control the primordial spirit. Originally, Kaifang could only use "Jieyou" to predict and divination, but later found that it also has the ability to control time.

But this ability seems to hide a very important secret, so Yi Yangjiu and others rarely see him use it, and only occasionally see Kai Fang use Jieyou to predict some important events. Back then, when Duke Xi of Qi attacked the country of Ji, under the absolute advantage of military strength, "Jie You" "carved" fourteen tree paintings in the dense forest, which accurately predicted Duke Xi's defeat in battle. "You..." Yi Yangjiu asked this silent avant-garde prince hesitantly, "Would you like to ask your 'relief' and see what Senior Sang Yang said?"

Kaifang pondered for a while, then said with a faint smile, "It should be fine, right? As long as you don't ask me to stop time." As he spoke, he focused slightly, and "Jieyou" behind him showed a faint smile. gray light. From the experience of Yuanshen cultivation in the past few years, several people know that Yuanshen has its own energy attributes. For example, the yellow light on Yi Ya's "Pao Ren" belongs to fire, and the "everything" on Shu Diao has a blue light, which belongs to earth and barbarians. The "radish leaf" of Yangjiu belongs to wood, but when it is most powerful, it also has the characteristics of fire.

But the prescribing "Jieyou" belongs to water, and the light gray light curtain has water-based energy. Time is like a river and a great river, rushing to the sea and never returning. Ordinary people can only move forward, but cannot retreat, nor can they take shortcuts. However, the "everything" with the energy of the hydraulic field happens to have the magical ability to travel through time and stop time. And its ability to predict the future also comes from this. Others use speculation, but "Relief of Worry" can directly reach the past and future, and spy out many human relationships and events in the world.

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and a faint drizzle of rain began to float out. In the full water vapor, the light emitted from "Jie You" became brighter and gradually expanded, gradually revealing a huge light cluster in the rain curtain. In the light cluster, there is a vague, shaking figure. The raindrops fell from the sky densely, but Yi Yangjiu didn't seem to notice it. He just widened his blue eyes, looked at the huge light curtain, opened his mouth wide, but didn't make a sound. Amidst the pattering rain, Yi Ya's fat face was wet, but he just wiped his face casually, and concentrated on watching the scene that appeared in the light curtain. In the light curtain, the shape of the figure can be seen more clearly at this time. Shu Diao has lived with animals and wild animals for many years, and often walks in the mountains and forests, hunting with wild animals, so he has developed excellent eyesight. Before everyone could see clearly, Shu Diao raised his eyebrows, wiped his rain-stained face, and shouted: "I saw it! I saw it!" He shouted: "Xiao Jiu , that's you again, you appear in the picture of 'Jie You' again!" Kaifang's Yuanshen "Jieyou" almost never speaks, but only presents the future predictions it has solved in various ways of expression. I saw that in the light curtain in the rain at this moment, the figure of Yi Yangjiu really appeared. In the image, I saw his face was full of excitement and tears. Seeing his own appearance in the light curtain was an unprecedented experience. Apart from surprise, Yi Yangjiu also had extremely curious questions. How did such a scene be created, what kind of magical power does "Relieve Worry" have, and how can it show such a clear image? In the "image", Yi Yangjiu seems to be crying loudly, holding a thin and beautiful woman in his arms, but at this moment, her back is facing the crowd, and her face cannot be seen clearly. On the contrary, Yi Ya shouted happily. "Ah! There's me too, in the back corner, there are Kai Fang and Shu Diao, wow! Even Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya are there!" Amidst the fat man's yelling, Kai Fang and the others took a closer look, and they saw that they were also in this wonderful picture. And the woman's thin shoulders kept twitching, as if she was also crying. Yi Yangjiu looked at her figure bewilderedly, but murmured in a low voice: "Turn around... let me see who you are!" what……" As if hearing his prayer, in the light and shadow, the woman turned her head sideways, revealing a clean and beautiful side face. Yi Ya laughed loudly: "Xiao Jiu Xiao Jiu, look! That's your sister Ji! The one you're hugging is your sister Ji!" In the light and drifting rain, Yi Yangjiu looked obsessively at the huge light and shadow reflected by "Jieyou" with an expression of reverence and fascination. The scene in the light and shadow is obviously the answer predicted by "Jieyou". In the light and shadow, Ji Yingchu, who was unfortunately turned into stone by "Ben Yang", has come back to life, and, in the image, Yi Yangjiu, Yi Ya, Kai Fang, Shu Diao and others are all there. That is to say, this journey to find the Nascent Soul may be extremely dangerous, but a few of them were able to return to Qi State safely. Moreover, even Ji Yingchu was able to come back alive! The prediction of "Worry Relief" may often be unimaginable, but so far, it has never been missed! That is to say, this time the journey to find the Nascent Soul will be successful, and several people will return to their homeland safely! Yi Ya and Shu Diao couldn't stop screaming "ahhh" in the rain. They thought the journey was extremely hard, but after seeing the light and shadow prediction, they felt as relaxed as if they had let go of the heaviest boulder. Kaifang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe off the wet drops on his forehead, glanced at the light curtain, but felt a sudden movement in his heart. The image reflected in "Jieyou" is very clear, not only the expressions of Yi Ya and Shu Diao are all lifelike, but even the people far behind are faintly visible. Farther away in the image, standing are several of Guan Zhong's personal followers, as well as Yi Ya and Kai Fang's family members, and even Kai Fang's wife also appears in the image. However, just because he took a look at his family members in the distance, Kaifang discovered that there were actually a few vague light clusters on the image. After a moment of concentration, he figured out what it was. "Yuanying..." He was lost in thought, and murmured, "Of course, we must have found Yuanying..." Yi Ya and Shu Diao were heard laughing and joking, fighting in the rain, while Yi Yangjiu was standing beside him, still staring at the light curtain, but he didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his face. "Yuan Ying! Prescribing..." Yi Yangjiu's voice trembled with excitement, which seemed a little distant amidst the sound of rain. "That's the Nascent Soul we're looking for, tell me..." He turned his head, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he said sharply, "Will your 'Jie You' lie to me? If you give me hope, But if it doesn't come true, I really don't know how to live!" Kaifang stared intently at the big red-haired man, and said word by word, firmly: "My 'Jieyou', I have never missed it!" His voice was extremely confident. "I may have missed it myself, but since I knew the existence of 'Jieyou', I have never missed what it said!" In the swirling rain, the light on "Jie You" gradually faded, and the light curtain gradually disappeared.Yi Yangjiu looked at the beautiful figure of Ji Yingchu in the light curtain reluctantly, and only hoped to see that image one more time in his heart. Until all the light and shadow had disappeared, he still stood in the rain, watching the colorful rainwater falling from the sky splashing and flying in the space. With this kind of encouragement, several people walked faster. After all, knowing that their adventure can be successfully resolved is an extremely gratifying good thing, and at this moment the journey is almost at the end, because the gate of Weiguo is clearly visible. Standing on the other side of the hill. After Yiyangjiu and the others read the prediction of "Jieyou", they randomly tied up a few coir raincoats in the nearby grass and woods, and then walked quickly to the gate of Weiguo. A few years ago, when Yiyangjiu and others fled Weiguo in a hurry, it seemed that there was such a wet and rainy season. When entering the city gate, looking up at the mottled earthen wall on the city gate, and the familiar faces of the city along the way, for a moment, it seems as if leaving the Acropolis was only yesterday. Time flies, and the wounds are also restored. Braving the afternoon rain, Yi Yangjiu and the others dressed up like woodcutters near the mountains, and walked into the city gate smoothly. Don't forget that a few years ago, because of the deliberate frame-up by the leader of the "Xuan Spider", all the responsibility for killing Yiyang's family was placed on Yiyangjiu and the others, that's why a few teenagers fled Weiguo in such a panic. Although it has been many years now, and the feudal states of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty fought again and again, they may be a little lax about hunting down prisoners, but Yiyangjiu and the others have gained a lot of knowledge over the years, knowing that being more careful in everything is not enough. He would suffer a loss, so he disguised himself as a woodcutter and returned to his hometown. Walking through the streets of the Acropolis, a few people saw the familiar city streets and corners of the market, and still couldn't help but sigh "ah" and "wow". Walking past a huge green tree, here, Yi Yangjiu once brought the remains of "Hou Ji", the primordial spirit of his family, under the shade of this tree, several teenagers were inspired by "Hou Ji" After discovering the supernatural power of the primordial spirit, their lives have been brought into different directions since then. Turning a corner, we came to a city wall. It was here back then. In order to vent his anger for Yi Ya, the young Yi Yangjiu faced several big evil boys alone. He also cut off his fingers and ears, and since then, the title of "Little Nine" has been resoundingly spread throughout the Acropolis. Walking by the side of the city river, there is a hut by the river. This is the place where Yiyangjiu and the duck-raising girl Leer used to hide from the rain. The warm girl's lips, the trembling girl's body. There is also the same as now, the drizzle that seems to never stop. However, Yiyangjiu, who has a big personality and has become so mellow, has already forgotten this memory, and he no longer even remembers the girl's figure and appearance. He didn't even glance at it as he passed the shelter. And that is what a girl has missed thousands of times in her heart. Since a long time ago, Yi Yangjiu's heart has been filled with Ji Yingchu's figure, and he can no longer tolerate other voices, other laughter. A group of people walked across the embankment, Yi Ya suddenly thought, his pace slowed down, and he turned his head to look at the dark shelter from the rain. Vaguely, there seemed to be a figure, with the direction of several people on its back, looking at the embankment, as if thinking about some ancient and distant memories. And that slender and beautiful figure is Yi Ya's most familiar. Everyone knows that although Le'er was the most vicious towards Yi Yangjiu back then, she put all her girlish love on this tall, handsome red-haired boy. But even if "everyone knows", it doesn't mean that others can't like her. When he was young, Yi Ya was an admirer who had a crush on Le Er for many years. Although he knew that her heart was all on Yiyangjiu, Yi Ya was extremely in love with this tall and thin duck-raising girl in his heart when he was a boy, and he had thought of her beautiful figure countless times in the middle of the night. . Who said that "teenagers don't know how to feel sad"? And it's strange, all these years, the one who really cares about Le Er and still remembers her is this seemingly silly fat Yi Ya. Only he can see Le'er's back at a glance in the distant gap of the rain. Looking at her attire, she is already dressed as a young woman, and she is obviously married.No matter how clear the shape and shadow in my heart are, I can't resist the urging of reality after all.She didn't see these prodigal sons of the Acropolis who had returned to their hometown. Perhaps, for her, this is the best arrangement. Because the man she loves the most in her heart has long since disappeared from her mind, and it is a big problem whether she even remembers her name. The one who really recognized her and remembered her was another fat man, Yi Ya, who she had forgotten for many years. The rain, falling endlessly from the sky in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in 686 BC, although it brings back a certain fragment of memory from a distant place in time, but the image is too weak and thin, and it will eventually follow the splash of water Flowed into the earth and disappeared without a trace. Watching the figures of Yiyangjiu and the others getting farther and farther ahead, Yi Ya sighed softly, bent over, propped up his coir raincoat, and followed quickly. Only in the shadow of the shelter from the rain, the figure of the woman remained motionless, quietly recalling the past of hiding from the rain with the red-haired boy in a certain afternoon long ago in the same rain.
