The Old Gods

Chapter 715: Winter month third day, sunny
On the third day of the winter month, the Yunhai Cliff was shrouded in thick fog.

Inside the courtyard of Yunhaiju, a floor-to-ceiling mirror was quietly opened, and a group of people filed out.

"Go home"

Lu Ran took a deep breath and relaxed his whole body and mind. In the past week, the Forbidden City had been tested by many forces.

And this ancient city, thanks to the concerted efforts of the soldiers of Ranmen, still stands firmly in the center of the Holy Spirit Mountain Continent!

Nearly thirty martial monk disciples have become Lu Ran's disciples, so it is inevitable that they will be demoted. Fortunately, they have regained the martial monks' magical skills.

The most lamentable one among them is the wine and meat real person.

This great monk at the peak of the sea realm fell directly from the fifth stage to the second stage, which was really regrettable.

But the wine and meat master has a very good attitude.

He touched his big belly with a smile, and kept thanking Lu Ran for giving him the foundation for his survival - the divine law.

I have been a disciple of a first-class divine monk all my life, so how can I be interested in the skills of other sects?
It has something to do with the idea that “it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality”.

When the Wine and Meat Master took out the Divine Technique - Bronze Stick again, he showed an extremely satisfied smile, and his chubby face trembled.
As for worshipping He Qifeng, worshipping Lu Ran, etc., that's all fine!
Jiurou Zhenren was happy to follow these two great summer prides.

Anyway, it doesn't interfere with my eating meat and drinking.
Including the 28 people in Dafeng Hall, there are 346 people in the Forbidden City, which is a bit small. You know, in its heyday, the Forbidden City had developed to nearly a thousand people!
But on the day when Master Tu Feng attacked, too many people fled for their lives.

He Qifeng has a clear view of this. She said that as long as the Forbidden City continues to stand here, the refugees will always come back.

He Qifeng has complicated feelings towards those people who abandoned the city and fled.

But in the end, she told Lu Ran that she didn't blame them.

To ordinary people, Master Tu Feng is impossible to defeat and is a destructive being.

You can't ask a tiny ant to resist the majestic sky.

He Qifeng had promised them that she would give them a stable life, but she failed to do so.

But for those who stayed and lived and died with the Forbidden City, He Qifeng visited almost every household.

It’s as if I want to imprint every face deeply in my mind.

Emperor Feng Tian also carefully selected more than seventy people from the more than three hundred weak god disciples and asked Lu Ran to help them change their fate and become martial monk disciples.

As a result, the Forbidden City had another hundred warrior monks.

Those who changed their professions later generally had low levels of strength, substandard martial arts, and a poor understanding of the monks' magic, but Emperor Feng Tian said he would work hard to train them to a qualified level.

Well. Try to pass.

Not everyone can be a first-class follower of God; and not everyone can master the magical skills of a warrior monk who fights against heaven and earth.

Lu Ran also saw her determination.

That's what it means to cultivate carefully and practice day and night!
Originally, other citizens of the Forbidden City were particularly envious of the more than 70 lucky people who were selected, but after seeing the intensity of the training, most of them secretly rejoiced.

Why does this require an external attack?

According to Emperor Feng Tian's request, these people will be trained to death sooner or later.
The remaining people in the Forbidden City, except for nearly fifty functional disciples, nearly two hundred people were divided into two groups and became disciples of Yu Fu and Lie Tian.

It is worth mentioning that Hou Yun, the eighteenth prodigy of Daxia, was also accepted as a disciple by Lu Ran and worshipped the Goddess of Luo River (the false god Asha).

She was originally at the peak of the Jiang Realm, but instead she "benefited" from it, and only dropped to the fourth stage of the Jiang Realm.

Lu Ran was very sure that Hou Yun could cultivate again! As for whether she could eventually enter the sea realm, the question still existed.

Her heart for Taoism needs to be polished alone.

It is also unknown whether Hou Yun would have a different perception of life and the future after the Forbidden City experienced such ups and downs and her fate changed so much.

The Zhenyue Hall and Baizhan Hall of the Liyuan Sect are still stationed in the Forbidden City and have not evacuated.

Today, the Liyuan Sect and Tiangang City are both developing in an orderly manner, and the Forbidden City undoubtedly needs more defensive forces.

If Yu Changsheng had not activated the promotion mode, Lu Ran and others would have continued to stay in the Forbidden City.

At this time, Lu Ran, who had returned to the Yunhai Cliff, sighed "I'm home" and looked around at the thick white fog that filled the cliff, feeling very relieved.

Mr. Conglong, you are finally going to advance to the peak of the sea realm!

"Let's all go back." Lu Ran spoke again, "Practice well."

"Yes!"

"Yes." Everyone took the order and left.

In the thick fog, Lu Ran also noticed Fairy Jiang leaving quietly.

He immediately took two quick steps and stopped the fairy in front of the house. He put his arm around her slender waist and held her in his arms.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi turned her head slightly.

Although the cliff was shrouded in fog, the two were close enough to still see each other.

"It's been several days, and you're still angry?" Lu Ran said in a low voice.

"No." Jiang Ruyi shook her head gently, "I have to hurry up and retreat, and make good use of this opportunity."

She is currently at the second stage of the Sea Realm, having successfully advanced on the eighth day of June. Now it is the beginning of November, and she is about to reach the bottleneck of her cultivation.

Lu Ran carefully leaned forward and kissed her lips lightly: "You have been so cold to me these past few days. I am almost freezing to death."

Jiang Ruyi smiled and looked into Lu Ran's eyes quietly.

At first, she was really annoyed.

More of a fear.

He Qifeng's heart of Taoism is the Forbidden City, while Jiang Ruyi's heart of Taoism is Lu Ran.

The Forbidden City can cause He Qifeng's "temperament to change drastically" and make him lose his composure.

How much better can Jiang Ruyi be?

It was only because Lu Ran stood in front of her steadily that she did not lose control. In the following week, she adjusted a lot on her own.

Lu Ran's identity was clear and his goal was very clear, so she couldn't ask him to make any promises on such matters.

Promises that are forced will only become lies.

Hurt others and hurt yourself.

Jiang Ruyi knew very well that the next time a powerful person from the Heavenly Realm wanted to destroy the Forbidden City and trample the people in the city to death, Lu Ran would definitely make the same choice.

There was a solution to all the worries and sorrows in her heart.

It may also be the only solution - strength.

"Ruyi?" Seeing his girlfriend staring at him without saying anything, Lu Ran felt a little scared. "Well, it's hard to control my emotions. I really mean it when I stare at you." Jiang Ruyi finally spoke, "But it's much better now."

The fact that someone was still alive and standing before her was better than any words of comfort.

"Oh, I thought you were going to banish me to the cold palace completely." Lu Ran looked pitiful.

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi smiled.

Is this a good idea?

She raised her hand and gently tapped Lu Ran's forehead with her jade finger: "Then you stay in the cold palace for now. I'm going to practice in seclusion."

Lu Ran: “.”

His arms were empty and the beauty left.

Lu Ran said in the direction she left: "Little Chifeng is for you."

In the mist, a cold voice gradually faded away: "Let me borrow Sister Yuxiang first. Her cultivation progress is faster than mine."

"Oh." Lu Ran pursed his lips and took out the gourd with the Fiery Phoenix pattern from his arms, "Mom doesn't want us anymore!"

"Om~"

The little Chifeng was shaking slightly, as if she felt a little aggrieved?

"It's okay. Auntie wants you." Lu Ran sent Little Chifeng to the sky. "Go to Nightmare Residence. I'll ask her to wait for you in the yard."

Little Chifeng: “.”

My mother was just a little strict, but that auntie was just horrible!
The second effect of the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd was forced out under the harsh demands of the Great Nightmare, and even under intimidation and oppression.

"Be obedient and go." Lu Ran patted the magic gourd.

"Buzz~" The little Chifeng circled around Lu Ran before reluctantly flying away.

Lu Ran stood in front of the door, quietly stopping.

The beauty has gone, but the faint fragrance of jasmine remains. Beautiful jasmine trees are planted in the front and back yards of Yunhai Residence.

[Master.] A phantom quietly appeared beside Lu Ran.

"Ok?"

"Pendant." Yan Shuangzi handed over the Tear Star Pendant.

"Okay." Lu Ran took the blue diamond pendant that looked like a water drop and walked into the house.

Walking through the hall and into the backyard, I saw phantom little black carps scattering everywhere.

The evil magic of black carp: black carp all over the sky.

Within a radius of 100 meters, all people or objects touched by the illusory little black carp are connected to Lu Ran's perception.

With the help of Xiao Moli, Lu Ran found the girl meditating under the tree.

Two.

The two are easy to distinguish.

Tian Tian is really petite, but little Yuan Xi, who is 1.68 meters tall, is just Lu Ran's illusion of petiteness.

Lu Ran walked towards the house on the west side and stopped under the fairy jasmine tree: "Lantern Festival?"

"Brother! You're back~" A cute voice came, full of energy.

Lu Ran took a step forward and knelt on one knee beside his sister: "You are so hardworking."

Who would have thought that Qiao Yuanxi would suddenly say:
"It's coming soon."

Lu Ran:?
"Puchi. Hehe~" Qiao Yuanxi couldn't help but laughed out loud, "It's really almost there! The cultivation environment at Holy Spirit Mountain is already good enough, and here at Yunhai Cliff, the cultivation resources are even more outrageous!
From time to time, there are powerful people who advance, tsk tsk~
Brother, give me another month, I will reach the peak and then jump directly into the sea realm!"

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded with a smile.

"What have you been doing for the past twenty days? Oh, where's Sister Ruyi?"

"I didn't do anything. I took over Jingxian Island and went to the Forbidden City to help." Lu Ran avoided the main point and changed the subject. "I prepared a gift for you."

"Gift?" Qiao Yuanxi's attention was indeed attracted.

She sat up on her knees and leaned closer, trying to see her brother's face clearly.

"Here." Lu Ran didn't keep the secret and raised his hand. There was a diamond pendant in his palm.

"Wow, so beautiful?" Qiao Yuanxi's eyes sparkled.

Lu Ran said: "If you can tame it, it will be more beautiful."

At this time, the Tear Star Pendant's luster was dim, and the spirit of the weapon sealed itself off and had not interacted with the outside world.

Qiao Yuanxi stretched out his finger and poked the diamond pendant: "What's its name?"

"You need to tell me this."

"So what does it do?"

"I'm not sure what it does, but maybe it can teleport you to my side."

"Ah?" Qiao Yuanxi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ran who was standing nearby.

"Maybe." Lu Ran nodded slightly.

Qiao Yuanxi was extremely surprised and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, brother, you are the best!"

"Ok, I know."

"Eh?" Qiao Yuanxi tilted his little head.

Lu Ran also laughed and changed his voice transmission: [Its function is too powerful. When you try to awaken it or subdue it, you must be careful when negotiating.

I'll leave Shadow One and Shadow Two to you. They are both disciples of the evil dog, can teleport, and have magic daggers. If something unexpected happens and the pendant is lost, let them help you search for it. 】

[Hmm! My evil magic firework cage has a sensing radius of 50 meters!] Qiao Yuanxi picked up the small diamond pendant and looked at it carefully.

The affection is beyond words.

That cute little look made Lu Ran feel better and better, as if the whole sky had cleared up.

Suddenly, Qiao Yuanxi looked up at Lu Ran: "Brother, hurry up! Help me carry it~"

"it is good."
