Chuzhou City is still as prosperous and lively as it was hundreds of years ago, but even people who have lived here for generations rarely remember that it was once a capital city - the country was called Da Chu, and there was a very strange last emperor.

On the contrary, people often think of Grand Secretary Zhang and Mr. Zhang, who is more famous in unofficial history. The specific reason is naturally because the Zhang family is still the leading big family in Chuzhou City, even if it is extremely influential in the whole world.

It is said that a gentleman's fortune is killed in five generations. Mr. Zhang is not a gentleman, so he can only count from his father, Grand Secretary Zhang. It has been more than ten generations. The Zhang family is still so prosperous, which has to be said to be an anomaly. Many people are rumored that the Zhang family is blessed by gods, and even the Zhang family itself has a very good saying that they have seen their ancestors appear.

Since this is the case, the Zhang family's ancestral hall is naturally well maintained, but the incense burner hundreds of years ago has long gone, and the smoke is naturally gone, and many wells that once scattered all over the mansion have been sealed.

The fiery red carp had long moved from the well to the golden basin and to the pool, and now lives in a large lake.

The lake is vast and the waves are vast, and the other side cannot be seen in rainy and foggy days.

You can imagine how big the Zhang family is now.

After the Fire Li became an adult, even if it was just a spiritual body, it still had extremely powerful magic power and did not need to be seen by mortals at all.

Every morning after eating, morning dew and morning light, it will swim to the shore and keep shaking its tail, as if it is performing for someone to show it.

An old man stood on the shore, looking at it with a little confused look, feeling a little confused.

The morning light shone on him, and it actually penetrated directly, leaving no shadow.

The maids and servants of the Zhang family were busy traveling back and forth by the lake with basins and utensils, but no one looked at him.

The breeze blew, the lotus leaves trembled, and the wells fell on it.

Huo Li looked at him and exclaimed, "Real person, why did you come in? Did you lose too and your body was stolen, so you had to hide in with your soul? That old man is really amazing, so you can stay here."

Old Master Zhang suddenly woke up a little and cursed: "Who is the old man?"

Jing Jiu said to Huo Li: "The person you mentioned is dead."

"Die?" Huo Li was stunned and said, "That's good."

It looked at Old Master Zhang who was still cursing, with a complicated emotion in his eyes and said, "This guy died many years ago, but he didn't know that he stood here every day, like a fool."

Old Master Zhang said annoyedly: "Silly Fish, who are you talking about? You are dead!"

He looked at Jing Jiu on the lotus leaf and said a little depressedly: "I seem to have seen you somewhere, but I just can't remember it."

Jing Jiu fell in front of him and patted him on the shoulder.

The hand that had no substance met the shoulder, but brought a breeze.

He picked up the breeze with his fingers, and after a moment of contemplation, he went to the palace.

Compared to hundreds of years ago, the palace has not changed much.

But without the emperor, there will naturally be no court meetings. If the national affairs are handled, it will have become an unpopular palace.

Jing Jiu returned to his palace, looked at the floor with some marks left, and pondered for a moment.

He looked back and lit a lamp, although there was no oil inside.

Next, he went to the Zhao State Palace and saw the figure of the emperor again under the chestnut tree.

The other party really has a shadow.

After hundreds of years, the emperor of Zhao's devilish aura became much weaker and he was about to complete his transformation into a real person.

"I don't know how I woke up, nor do I know if I'm still alive."

Emperor Zhao's face was as pale as before his death, and asked, "Where is my wife? Will she come back after she die?"

Jing Jiu said, "I don't know."

The Emperor of Zhao was silent for a while and asked again: "Why... what about father-in-law?"

Jing Jiu said, "He is dead and can't come back."

After saying this, he left Qingtianjian.

After Qingtianjian left Chaotian Continent, the time flow rate was obviously changing again.

When he opened his eyes and returned to the real world, the island had already ushered in a new morning.

"How?" Zhao Layue asked staring at his eyes.

"The soul can exist alone."

Jing Jiu said: "But Qingtianjian is a relatively closed system, and the total amount of internal existence remains unchanged."

Zhao Layue said: "Although this universe is constantly expanding, it is also a relatively closed system."

The meaning of this sentence is that since the soul can exist in the Qingtianjian, it should be fine here too.

Jing Jiu said: "You forgot the sea of ​​dark things."

This sentence calmed the coconut forest.

The waves gently patted the beach, and they didn't dare to make too many sounds.

The robot came over in the morning light.

"You have to live, of course not to save humanity." Shen Yunmang got rid of yesterday's emotions and returned to his usual casual tone, "But if they all die, it would be a loss."

Jing Jiu recognized his opinion and said, "But this body can't hold on."

The robot bent down, the control room opened, revealing Shen Yun's buried face. He stared into Jing Jiu's eyes and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? You are not such a person, okay to be brave?"

Jing Jiu was silent for a while and said, "Babys are the most curious, but they are also the most afraid of the dark."

At this time, Tongyan and Que Niang walked out of the cave and came to the beach with a chessboard.

There are black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and a picture is naturally formed, with the truth hidden in it.

"There is a spirit-binding array in the other continent. I and Qu Niang studied it for some reason, and it was a bit inspiring."

Tongyan pointed to the chess pieces and said, "We can set up a similar formation, and use the remaining array pivot to absorb energy, so that your soul will not have to worry about dissipation for more than ten years."

Jing Jiu knew that this formation should be useful, shook his head and said, "Then I might as well go to the Qingtianjian."

Tongyan said, "You know it's different."

Jing Jiu said calmly: "I don't want to retreat."

Shen Yunmian praised loudly: "Beautiful!"

Since the child took the first step of humanity on the beach, he could only keep moving forward, not backward.

Jing Jiu looked at Liu Shisui and said, "Is there a lamp?"

Liu Shishui took it out for a while and took out a bronze lamp full of ancient charm.

The previous immortals who had been watching the movement here were a little turbulent.

The Master Shenda said with a look of an ugly expression: "Why did the calming lamp of this sect fall into your hands?"

Liu Shisui didn't know how to explain, so she looked at Zhao leyue again.

Zhao Layue said: "The King of Penglai Bao Ship gave me. If you have any objections, wait for him to ascend to ask yourself."

Jing Jiu slowly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers with the only three remaining fingers.

There was a light bang.

A little flame grew from the bronze lamp.

The sound was not loud, but it woke up Ada who was curled up in a ball to sleep.

It suddenly felt a little warm in its body. When it turned its head and looked at it, it found a child squatting beside it, stroking itself.

This was the first time it saw Jing Jiu's soul, and it was shocked and meowed several times.

The touch of the soul is not a real contact. If you can't feel the smoothness of the cat's hair, the child stood up in disappointment.

He carried his hands on his back, not as blurry and transparent as yesterday, and slightly substantial. I don’t know if he was because he had rested in his body for a while or because he had some spirit in the Qingtianjian.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Layue felt his thoughts of leaving and became a little nervous.

"I want to learn how to touch the cat and come back in a few days."

After Jing Jiu finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Whether it was Zhao leyue, Liu Shisui or the immortals on the island, no one noticed how he disappeared, and he didn't know where he was now.

Chen Yunmian suddenly shouted, "Look at that lamp."

Only then did people know what Jing Jiu meant.

Zhuo Rusui came out of nowhere, and waved his hand and saw a Chengtian sword formation, protecting the bronze lamp in the middle.

Immediately afterwards, Tongyan and Que Niang made two more formations and set them outside.

Everyone's eyes fell on the bronze lamp, to be precise, on the flame.

That should be Jing Jiu's soul fire, the mark he left behind, helping him find his way back.

For some reason, with the formation protection, the flame was still shaking.

Where exactly does the wind come from?

Everyone was very nervous. If the flames were extinguished, what would it mean?
