Today's Xianmen elegant pig slaughter

There was a loud "boom", dust and smoke scattered everywhere, it was deafening!
The local monster of the Dayi Mine was at a disadvantage. It no longer made that terrifying and threatening sound, but instead made the "gurgling" sound of a small animal. It was easily pinned to the ground by the nimble nine-tailed fox!
The wind rises and the sound of sword bells is heard.

The restriction on the Sun Mine was lifted, just as if the shielding chains covering the sky above were opened, the sky gradually brightened, and forty-nine golden steps were suspended in the air at the edge of the sky, and each step was shining with golden light——

The Immortal Venerable Yunshang descended from the sky, holding the Feather-Broken Sword and stepping on the golden steps. Behind him followed dozens of Yuntian Sect's inner sect formation practitioners, forming a mighty force.

"Array up!"

The voice of Yunshang Xianzun was clear and cold, but in this noisy and chaotic place it sounded like a huge bell, resounding through the sky.

The disciples of the Yuntian Sect received the order and made hand gestures in unison, with the Immortal Master at the Transformation Stage as the center of the formation, forming the Sky-Land Formation. A corresponding golden light formation appeared on the horizon.
When Yunshang Xianzun swung his sword towards the monster, the net woven by gods also overturned!

The mountain shook, boulders fell, and the entire mine was trembling because of the two giant beasts. Now with the addition of monks, it was in turmoil. In an instant, the vision was obscured by dust!
After choking for a few breaths and being stabbed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, Nan Fuguang didn't have time to think about whether Junior Sister Lu Sang, a sword cultivator, was mixed in with the formation cultivators. Otherwise, why did Yan Ji'an bring her here...
It was just that at the moment, because of the external aid, I just breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a deep breath and relaxed, then shook violently. His right arm came back to his senses belatedly. Because he had forcibly smashed into the Fire Talisman and used his body as a vehicle for summoning, it caused severe burns, and the pain was unbearable...
Nan Fuguang groaned in pain, and felt a little happy about his extraordinary performance in summoning ancient beasts.
Maybe she is an assessment type of player?
The kind that doesn't work well at normal times, but works well at critical moments.

"Although I don't know which god was summoned, sometimes I wonder if I have skipped classes for "Paleontology" and "Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree, the Origin of Biology". Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for these consecutive--"

The eldest sister of the Yuntian Sect turned around while muttering to herself, and stopped abruptly at a certain moment.

Behind her, she saw that the place where she had put the butcher down was no longer there. Several huge fallen rocks had replaced his original place. She could not see anything under the rocks.

Nan Fuguang's brain went blank for a moment, as if he had fallen from a great height and his heart stopped suddenly.

Subconsciously moving closer to that direction, she was grabbed by a warm and soft hand and pulled back violently, causing her to stumble back.

"Sister!"

Hearing the anxious and urgent voice of the girl, Nan Fuguang turned around and looked at his junior sister with a tense face. The latter held her wrist with one hand while holding the sword.

There was a loud bang, accompanied by the Qiongluo Di Gang Array falling on the monster, which struggled continuously. The nine-tailed fox summoned by Nan Fuguang was also covered in the net. The two monsters crashed into the mountain together, and a huge rock fell where Nan Fuguang originally stood!
"Big Sister! Master asked me to come find you, let's go!"

Lu Sang called out, bringing Nan Fuguang back to his senses.

Not far away, the nine-tailed fox grabbed the snow-white monster by the back of its neck.

The monster's fur was torn into disarray, and its golden eyes slowly opened on the back of its head.

The burning sensation in his right hand suddenly seemed to increase again for no reason, his pupils shrank slightly, Nan Fuguang shook off Lu Sang's hand, and snatched the sword from her hand -

She didn't know what it felt like to have other sword cultivators' natal swords fall into her hands. The hilt and the blade were equally cold and heavy as black iron. The depths of her soul were shaking and trembling because of the incompatible forced use...

She raised her hand and split the boulder in front of her. As the dust flew, she was afraid of seeing bloody traces and afraid of not seeing anything at all.

However, there was nothing.

I couldn't see where the butcher was.

Amid Lu Sang's anxious and helpless shouts, the monsters behind him kept fighting and biting each other. Lu Sang had no time to snatch back his own sword. While asking her "What are you looking for?", he dragged Nan Fuguang into the open barrier...

Nan Fuguang let her drag him a few steps, then he shook his right hand holding the sword violently, and the Fulong Sword fell to the ground. Nan Fuguang grabbed Lu Sang's arm with his backhand: "Wait, there's someone else——"

"Big sister." Lu Sang bent down to pick up the Fulong Sword, looking at the pale-faced Big sister of Yuntian Sect, his smart eyes flashing with compassion, "There is no one else."

"No—I—"

At this moment, Nan Fuguang was interrupted by a shout from someone in the distance.

"The Immortal Alliance has arrived! It's the Immortal Alliance! 'Kingfisher's Nest'!"

Nan Fuguang and Lu Sang were shocked and both turned around.

In the sky, a huge floating ship appeared like a behemoth above the Big Sun Mine, with eight main sails, twenty-four winged oars, and a Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree pattern holding up a Nine-Sun emblem, which was the logo of the Immortal Alliance.

Countless groups of high-ranking monks transformed into light and shadow and appeared on the side of the ship, looking down from above at the chaos below. From far to near, they descended from the sky with even greater force than the arrival of Yunshang Xianzun just now.

The man who led the charge was shrouded in golden light with a pastel hue all over his body. Nan Fuguang could only barely make out that he looked like a young man from his blurry figure. A glimpse of his tall nose and pale skin color appeared, but his appearance could no longer be seen.

"Kingfisher's Nest" came down from the sky like a savior.

At the same time, Nan Fuguang was dazed for a moment because of exhaustion and the burning pain in her right hand transmitted to her heart. She shook violently. Lu Sang supported her with a scream and dragged her forcefully into the Yin-Yang mirror world.

……

Once you enter the Yin-Yang Mirror World, you will no longer know the outside world. Everything in the inner world is the same as yesterday, which is the most familiar scene of the Dayi Mine in the past.

People come and go around knowing that they can't see what's happening in the outside world, nor can they hear anything, but that doesn't stop them from standing on the edge and looking around...
Regardless of the color of their mining robes, or even the difference between guardians and miners, they discussed unscrupulously what was happening outside and how terrifying the monsters were.

The people who entered the inner world last loudly emphasized that there were two monsters. The later one seemed to be more powerful, which caused the girl next to Nan Fuguang to spy frequently. Her eyes swept from the tense jaw of the eldest sister of the Yuntian Sect to her arms hanging limply at her side. She glanced back and forth several times, admiring and curious, and finally couldn't help but whispered: "That... ancient beast, was it summoned by the eldest sister?"

Isn’t the senior sister a sword practitioner?

But she had no sword.

Nan Fuguang did not answer her question, but said something irrelevant, "My hand hurts, don't talk to me," then walked away and wandered back and forth in a corner.

Lu Sang noticed that was the direction they had come from. Nan Fuguang had once looked for someone there, but at that time there was only a huge rockfall and no one was there...
And in the other world, there are only a few rows of adobe houses.

Whoever she was looking for, that person might be in danger.

Thinking of this, Lu Sang's eyes were full of sympathy again. She took a deep breath and wanted to get closer to Nan Fuguang to let her rest, but she was overtaken by two other people wearing mining robes from the Dayi Mine.

The one wearing the blue gown was a girl of the same age, and the one wearing the yellow gown was a child. They gathered around Nan Fuguang, and the children looked up at her without saying a word, but their eyes were unusually bright.
The black-haired girl in a blue gown raised her hand, brushed the dust off Nan Fuguang's face, and asked her expressionlessly, "You look so distraught, did you lose your lover?"

Nan Fuguang's expression changed.

Lu Sang was also stunned. The eldest senior sister was clearly the Taoist partner of Yunshang Immortal Venerable, and now Yunshang Immortal Venerable was fighting hard outside. How come she actually had a so-called lover?
Youyin saw that Nan Fuguang looked unhappy, and the whole person seemed to be holding his breath, lost in thought for a few moments and no longer asked about the whereabouts of the man. He said dryly, "Life and death are determined by fate," and said no more.

But she also stayed by Nan Fuguang's side and did not leave.

It was not known how much time had passed, perhaps several hours, when suddenly cheers broke out from the crowd, the Yin-Yang mirror world was opened, and several figures walked in from outside.

"It's over, it's over!"
"Well, what should we do now? The monster is dead? Then there will be no more Black Crack Sky Ore produced. What's the point of us staying here?"
"Can I go home now?"
"I want to leave here. I don't want to stay in this damn place for even one more day!"
"Ah, look, are those people from the Immortal Alliance——"

The person who entered from outside had pale skin, golden eyes and white hair. He had a face very similar to that of a young man like Duan Nan, except that half of his hair was shaved gray. He did not have a sickle on his back, but only a Feng Shui compass hanging around his waist that looked like a magic weapon.
Below the magic weapon there is a pendant that has turned gray and is recognized by Nan Fuguang. Five-colored gold wire ropes are woven around an image of a person sitting cross-legged and performing Taoist magic. Behind him, a giant bird spreads its wings in the shape of a branch. The seven-colored gemstones inlaid on it are of different textures. It is the "Kingfisher's Nest" keepsake accessory.

When Duan Nan caught up with this person and stood beside him, except that Duan Nan no longer had the same "Kingfisher's Nest" accessories and a different hairstyle, everything else was almost an exact replica. It was hard not to guess immediately that the young man who appeared first was probably the second legendary killer, Duan Bei.

As the elder brother, Duan Bei serves as the commander of "Kingfisher's Nest". In fact, his authority is one level higher than Duan Haonan.

At this time, countless people dressed in "Kingfisher's Nest" came in one after another, and lined up silently and orderly from the surroundings. Most of the miners and supervisors who came up to ask "Sir, where should we go next?" were surrounded silently.

The absent workers looked at each other, not knowing why, but no one raised any objections.

For them, now is a rare time to catch their breath.

Among the crowd, only Nan Fuguang stood on the periphery, and he felt an uncomfortable feeling coming over him.

The "Yin Yang Mirror World" has not been opened, Yan Ji'an and the disciples of Yuntian Sect have not entered this place, and they don't know what the battle damage is. Why don't the people of "Kingfisher's Nest" clean up the battlefield and enter the inner world?
Nan Fuguang wanted to go forward and ask about the situation outside, but when he stood up, he felt dizzy from exhaustion.

She took a shaky step forward and was stopped by Youyin. The girl shook her head at her and simply said, "You need to rest." Lu Sang, who was standing beside Nan Fuguang, nodded repeatedly.

Not far away, more and more miners gathered, and they asked the people of "Kingfisher's Nest" for explanations, telling them about the suffering and injustice at the Dayi Mine.

"I want to go home!"
"Never again."
"It's all a lie. They locked us up here and set up a lot of weird rules. If we disagree, they will kill us. People will die every ten days. Damn the drama festival! Isn't this against the laws of the Immortal Alliance?"
"Stop talking, stop talking. See how these two look exactly alike? They are like snakes and rats from the same nest. Don't expect to get any justice... If you ask me, sir, just give us some severance pay and we will leave quietly."

"Some compensation is needed. The Immortal Alliance has been indifferent for so many years. I don't know how many evil things the supervisors have done in this remote place—"

Speaking of the supervisor, Duan Bei finally seemed to have some reaction.

He turned and looked at Duan Nan. The two brothers were born from the same mother, so they had a tacit understanding. Just from a glance, he knew that he just wanted to ask Duan Nan what to do now.

"The drama festival is over." Duan Nan lowered his eyes, "The one who makes the wish makes a wish and lets everyone go. This wish must be fulfilled."

The sound was neither loud nor low, but it was loud enough to reach the ears of the noisy miners at the scene. They probably didn't expect that the supervisor, who they always regarded as cruel, would speak in this way, and they were silent all of a sudden.

Duan Bei didn't seem surprised that Duan Nan said this. His younger brother always followed the rules. It was the same when he was in the "Kingfisher's Nest". He was always somewhat unpopular with his colleagues...

Duan Bei curled his lips towards Duan Nangou and smiled.

Duan Nan was a very mean and cold person. Nan Fuguang had often seen him being cold and gloomy, as indifferent as a mountain, and at most sneering and mocking. He had never seen anything like a "smile" on his face.

After a moment of stunned silence, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, this effort will not be in vain. Duan Nan abides by his promise and complies with the Dayi Mine's wish-fulfilling rules, then...

Nan Fuguang widened his eyes slightly.

He watched in disbelief as Duan Bei's slender hand passed through Duan Nan's chest.

The sticky dark red blood dripped from his fingertips, but the smile on the face of the superior from the "Kingfisher's Nest" did not waver in the slightest, as if an elder brother was always tolerant of his younger brother's willfulness. He said in a gentle voice, "No, the Dayi Mine will always remain a secret." The reversal seemed to be just a matter of thought, or perhaps there was no thought at all.

As soon as Duan Bei finished speaking, the Yin-Yang Mirror World was instantly surrounded by people from the Kingfisher's Nest. Whether they were miners or guardians, after a moment of stunned silence, they finally became stained with fear after their eyes were stained red by Duan Nan's blood.

"Hey, are you kidding me? We monks..."

Before a guardian could finish his words, the soldiers of Kingfisher's Nest broke his neck.

Duan Nan is dead.
The butcher has disappeared.
Yan Ji'an and his fellow disciples and brothers from the sect are still outside and their whereabouts are unknown.
The people of "Kingfisher's Nest" and the Immortal Alliance may not be here to rescue us at all.

The sounds of chaotic running and screams of collapse, everything suddenly fell into a complete collapse of two extremes. Nan Fuguang was completely stunned. She watched the blood pouring out of Duan Nan's mouth, turned her head, and accurately caught her eyes in the crowd——

The eyes were as calm as a lake, cold and bottomless as always, until the light in the golden pupils disappeared, as if there was both stubbornness and complete relief, until the light completely dimmed and turned into dead gray.

A hand gently clasped Nan Fuguang's shoulder from behind. She turned her head and saw Youyin looking back at her silently.

Behind them, people were running around trying to escape helplessly in a mess. Only the Yin-Yang mirror world seemed to become transparent. Just after the 3:00 p.m. in the inner world, the night fell on the Big Sun Mine, and the sky and the wilderness were starry for the first time in a long time...

It was as if a drama had ended before Nan Fuguang's eyes, and everything became completely dark.

……

I don't know how long I slept, and my dream was a mess. It was an extremely hot summer day, but for some reason, heavy snow fell, and strange phenomena appeared in the sky. The Dayi Mine was covered with snow.

When Nan Fuguang opened her eyes, she found herself lying in an adobe house. The warm breath hit her face. She turned her head and saw the little boy blinking at her with his grape-like black eyes. They were speechless.

"woke up."

He seemed to be talking to Nan Fuguang, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Nan Fuguang turned over and sat up. After getting used to the sudden dizziness, she found that the little boy had stepped aside and was looking at her quietly and obediently. She closed her eyes and felt the bone-chilling cold.

Soon she realized that the cold did not come from her bone marrow, but was... really cold in the real sense.

Nan Fuguang picked up the quilt that had slipped off her body and took a look. She fell from the bed and glanced at the half-open window. There was a thick layer of snow under the window. She was stunned.

She walked around the little boy who followed her silently like a tail, and came to the door, opened it, and the scene of the Dayi Mine was completely different from before.
Everything was silvery white, the blanket of snow covered everything, the scorched brown soil disappeared, and the railroad tracks were buried deep in the snow.

The cold wind mixed with the scent of ice and snow blew on my face, and the snowflakes fell and hit the walls or windows, making slight sounds.

"are not you cold?"

A calm question came from her side. Nan Fuguang turned around and saw Youyin standing outside the adobe house with a basin of steaming hot water, looking at her.

Nan Fuguang moved her lips, and Youyin laughed at her: "Why do you look like you're about to cry?"

Nan Fuguang took a deep breath, and the pain in his chest and the burning pain in his right arm formed a strange resonance, rippling back and forth...
She was pushed back into the house by Youyin like a piece of wood.

Youyin used clean gauze soaked in hot water to wipe her face and asked her if she had a nightmare. Nan Fuguang blinked and was not sure what to ask first. Why was it snowing in the Dainichi Mine? Or were we still in the Dainichi Mine? Is this hell?

"I dreamed that people from the Kingfisher's Nest came and killed people to silence them. We all died."

The gauze that was rubbing against his face not so gently paused for a moment. After a moment, Youyin sneered and said in his usual mocking tone, "That's really tragic." Then he asked Nan Fuguang if he could hope for something good even in his dreams.

"In the dream, you resisted and killed many people with the dagger I gave you."

"This part can be retained." Youyin said, "It's something I would do. Even if I die, I will drag many guardians with me."

Nan Fuguang felt much more sober after wiping her face. Youyin took out a wound medicine that was obviously produced from the Yuntian Sect and applied it to her arm. Seeing that Nan Fuguang was staring at her intently, she explained that it was Yan Ji'an who gave her the medicine and told her to change it every hour.

Youyin told Nan Fuguang that the fight between the monsters was real, the Yunshang Immortal Lord descending from the sky was real, and the "Kingfisher's Nest" that arrived shortly afterwards was also real, but everyone at that time hid in the Yin-Yang Scenery Realm. She and Duoduo waited for a while, and saw a delicate woman who looked like she could be blown away by the wind dragging the unconscious Nan Fuguang in...
"She cried and called you Senior Sister."
Youyin said impartially, "She is very beautiful, even when she is crying. Duoduo stared at her for a long time and forgot to ask if you are still alive."

The little boy kicked her from bottom to top.

Nan Fuguang emphasized that in her memory, she was the one who entered the Yin-Yang mirror world, and then the people from the "Kingfisher's Nest" came, killed Duan Nan, and prepared to kill everyone -

"It was really tragic. Don't describe it anymore. It scares me... Did you accidentally see the monster's eyes when you were outside?"

"..."

Oh.
I did see it.

Nan Fuguang fell silent, and Youyin asked her if she wanted to go see her lover.

It took a few moments to figure out who the "lover" referred to. Nan Fuguang heard Youyin say nearby that they heard the beautiful female cultivator emphasize that she was still splitting rocks to look for someone before she fainted, and then after everything was over, everyone went to that place to dig, and finally dug the person out of the rubble.

"..." Nan Fuguang listened to this description for a long while before he dared to ask, "Is it alive?"

Youyin patted her intact left arm and said, "Yes."

……

Nan Fuguang changed into the Taoist robe of the Yuntian Sect, which was the only clean clothes she could take out from her Qiankun bag. After tidying herself up, she left the adobe house for the second time today.

She pushed open the door, picked up the black umbrella leaning against the wall and opened it, looking at the snow-covered Dayi Mine. She still felt as if she was in another world...

The snow particles hit the umbrella and made a crackling sound. Youyin wrapped himself in his coat and shivered, complaining about the snow in August. The weather was getting worse and worse. It was really a weird thing.

As he walked along, Nan Fuguang realized that he probably had not slept for too long, because everything seemed as if the war had just ended... There were not many people left. Youyin said that most of them were frozen in the house and refused to come out, and some had already left the Dayi Mine overnight.

Sometimes she would pass by people from the "Kingfisher's Nest", or meet a few disciples of the Yuntian Sect who were taking care of the wounded. When she saw Nan Fuguang, she would call her "Senior Sister" in surprise, and ask her when she woke up and whether she had met the Immortal Lord.

On a ruined wall, Nan Fuguang also saw Duan Nan, the former mine supervisor, carrying his Red Wrathful Ghost Scythe. The supervisor of the Big Sun Mine stared up at the dark sky in a daze, his white eyelashes almost blending into the falling snow...
As if he was aware of someone's gaze on him, he turned around and stared at Nan Fuguang for a moment with a blank face as usual, and finally nodded slightly with an almost unnoticeable amplitude.

Nan Fuguang was very tempted to go up to him and ask him whether Duan Bei had also come to the Dayi Mine, using this as evidence that everything before was just a nightmare.

In the end, Nan Fuguang still didn't come forward to talk to Duan Nan, perhaps he and Duan Nan really didn't get along well.

Nan Fuguang saw the butcher in a mud house in the corner. The man was lying on a bed, still wearing the gray and yellow mining robe of the Da Ri Mine...
Perhaps someone had treated his wounds and washed them properly. Apart from his ugly face and coma, he looked far different from the bloody mess that Nan Fuguang had initially thought.

Nan Fuguang's heart was slightly relieved. She sat down on the edge of the bed, lifted the quilt and looked at his wound. Her hands were stiff for a moment, and finally she covered him with the quilt in silence. After sitting there for a while, she asked, "Is the dock open?"

Mishi is a remote and wild place after all. Now that the Dayi Mine has collapsed and the mining area is open, the "Kingfisher's Nest" has moved in to take over the management. It is naturally impossible for the Black Mountain Morning Market to commit crimes under the noses of the police, so it has dispersed like birds and beasts...

The Da Ri Mine Wharf has become a barren land.

She had to take the butcher back to the East Coast and find a way to treat it.

You Yin was not surprised by Nan Fuguang's question. He sneered and said with a strange look in his eyes, "You are the eldest sister of Yuntian Sect. A lot of people have come for you. What are you waiting for the dock to open?"

The Yuntian Sect is a large and powerful sect, so there is no need to rely on public facilities. Yunshang Immortal Venerable had already found a boat to dock at the pier and had made all the preparations for the subsequent withdrawal. He was ready to return to the Yuntian Sect as soon as Nan Fuguang woke up.

"what about you?"

"I want to go home too."

You Yin's decisive return attracted a glance from the eldest sister of the Yuntian Sect. The former smiled and said, "Do you think that after the Shen time, most miners can have any entertainment when they lie in bed? It's nothing more than recalling the country road when they left their hometown over and over again, wondering whether the jujube tree at the entrance of the village is still there when they return, and whether it can still produce jujubes in autumn and winter..."

She patted the little boy who was leaning against her and said, "I still remember the way back, and I want to take Duoduo back with me. He was born in the Da Ri Mine, and he has nowhere to go after his parents are gone."

"You're taking him back?"

"Well, take him back. In the summer, we can go fishing in the lotus pond, in the fall, we can go hunting in the mountains, and in the winter, we can climb the jujube trees together. I remember that the jujubes there are very sweet, if I remember correctly." You Yin said, "Take him to see the place I most yearn for in my dreams."

Nan Fuguang nodded and wanted to say something, but said nothing.

In the end all that was left was a truant to take care. She and the Dayi Mine, or rather the people in the mine, had only nodded as they passed by, with a few strokes of light ink written on the book of fate.

Tucked the quilt for the pig butcher.

"Hello, Guisansanyiqi."

"..."

"What's your name?"

Nan Fuguang raised his eyes and glanced at the half-open window, and the cold wind mixed with ice and snow blew in.

"Nan Fuguang."
The snow never stopped falling.
"My name is Nan Fuguang."

Perhaps from now on, the Dayi Mine will become a place covered with snow all year round. After all, everything in this world is unpredictable, and no one can say for sure whether yesterday will be the same as today.

"Youyin, I wish you can return to your dream place soon."

Nan Fuguang said.
