Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 210 – The first hero of Yuanshuo, Bai Yuelou

Su Yun had delicate eyebrows and eyes, with white and even teeth. Due to the lack of sunlight in Tianmen Town, his skin was fair and delicate. Now at the age of fourteen, he had grown taller and was truly handsome. He had also read extensively and experienced many hardships in Shuofang City, even pretending to be an envoy and swindling people. He had developed a captivating temperament.

This temperament, combined with his appearance, was more handsome than Bai Yuelou.

However, when Su Yun had previously fainted, the envoy of Da Qin, Cang Jiuhua, had misunderstood him, thinking that he was knocked unconscious by the roar of the Pan Yang, and was therefore weak and useless except for his good looks.

The gods of the Heavenly Court looked over, making him think they were looking at Bai Yuelou, mistaking it for the culprit who had captured seven heavenly gods.

Compared to Su Yun, Bai Yuelou was naturally unfathomable. Bai Yuelou was confused and secretly alert, "Is this foreign envoy going to harm me?"

Su Yun woke up quietly. In his spiritual world, little Ying Ying looked at the two-layered seal, which was like a barrier between heaven and earth, and after the runic seal was a dark demonic energy. She didn't know what type of seal it was.

At this moment, a huge and ferocious face slowly appeared in the dark demonic energy, struggling to push forward.

Ying Ying heard her upper and lower teeth fighting and tremblingly said, "Qing, Qingyu..."

"Hush—"

The face behind the runic wall became clearer and clearer. It was a huge Taotie with a ghostly face, full of thick and sturdy fangs. Its face covered the entire runic wall.

Although Ying Ying had seen the Taotie mark in books and had seen Su Yun use the Taotie technique, she still couldn't help but tremble when she saw this kind of god and demon in person.

The ghostly face had green and blue veins like runic marks, but it was different. The veins were constantly changing, like a living creature!

Just now, the Taotie had raised one of its claws with a strange expression and made a sound to her.

Then, Ying Ying saw the Taotie's sharp claws scratch the runic wall a little. She wanted to move her body and finish saying "Qingyu Town," but she found that her fear had suppressed her limbs and she couldn't move or make a sound.

Swish—

A long forked tongue, emitting a fishy smell, stretched out from behind the runic wall and reached in front of the bewildered Ying Ying, licking her from bottom to top.

Ying Ying's clothes and face were covered in wet saliva. Finally, fear completely occupied her heart, and she let out an extremely piercing scream.

As she screamed, she could finally move. She immediately flew towards Su Yun's spiritual face in the cave, shaking his face frantically and shouting, "Wake up! Wake up!"

Su Yun's spiritual face, which had been knocked out by her repeated "Qingyu Town," woke up quietly.

The runic wall, along with the long tongue, disappeared together.

At the same time, Su Yun's physical body also woke up.

As soon as Su Yun woke up, he heard Cang Jiuhua, the envoy of Da Qin, laughing loudly, "I have long heard of the treasures of Yuan Shuo, the talents and the spirits of the land. My Da Qin also learned Yuan Shuo's culture before rising. Although Yuan Shuo has fallen, there are still many talents. Since the Yuan Shuo Emperor does not want to come out to pay homage to my Da Qin God King, then I will personally visit him."Qiu Shuijing was also surprised by what had just happened. Although he didn't know what had happened, he saw countless dark claws take away seven heavenly gods from the Heavenly Court. He saw the gods of the Heavenly Court look at Su Yun and thought to himself, "Is it related to him again? It seems that he still has some secrets I don't know about! I was just worried about how to resolve this situation, but he solved it calmly."

Qiu Shuijing had already experienced the power of Da Qin. He had even thought of studying overseas during the period of Emperor Ai. Because of the defeat of Yuan Shao, he realized that Yuan Shao's knowledge was outdated and that he needed to wake up from the arrogance of the Heavenly Court and see the outside world. He went to Da Qin, studied hard, and traveled to various countries, seeing the power of the new knowledge. Even a few years ago, his close friend, the "big shot" who studied with him at the Tian Dao Academy, died in a battle against the invasion of Da Qin!

Although the new knowledge was gradually spreading during the Yuan Shao period, only he knew that the gap between Yuan Shao's knowledge and that of Da Qin and other countries was not narrowing, but widening, and it was getting bigger and bigger!

Su Yun's appearance helped him resolve the situation with the Da Qin envoy. "New knowledge is not just new knowledge, it also has new thinking! This change is necessary!" Qiu Shuijing secretly made up his mind.

Cang Jiuhua's gaze swept towards Bai Yuelou and smiled at Qiu Shuijing, "Mr. Shuijing, this person is definitely not an ordinary person. Since he has taken action, let him go to the palace to meet Emperor Yuan Shao together."

Qiu Shuijing understood his hidden meaning. "He thinks I arranged for Su Yun to be here to resolve his situation. But he doesn't know how deep my loyalty to Emperor Yuan Shao is."

Qiu Shuijing told Su Yun to go to the palace with the envoy. Cang Jiuhua corrected him, saying that he meant the young man in white next to him. Qiu Shuijing was puzzled and looked at Bai Yuelou. Although Bai Yuelou was good, he was far behind Su Yun in strength. How could Cang Jiuhua think that Bai Yuelou resolved his situation?

Bai Yuelou was also confused and asked, "Me? Did you call me?"

Cang Jiuhua laughed loudly, "Is Emperor Yuan Shao's hero only capable of pretending to be foolish? It makes Da Qin people despise him!"

Qiu Shuijing had no choice but to tell Bai Yuelou to go to the palace. Su Yun also wondered why he could only go to the palace with Bai Yuelou's face. He suddenly felt hungry.

Cang Jiuhua's mount suddenly bowed down, and its huge horns fell in front of Su Yun and Bai Yuelou.This giant beast had huge horns, a muscular and ferocious body, and exuded a fierce aura, like a god or a demon in the world, making people shudder!

Cang Jiuhua climbed onto the back of the beast and looked down from a high place, his gaze sharp as a sword, pointing directly at Bai Yuelou. He smiled and said, "Young talents of Yuanshuo, would you dare to come up and visit the imperial city with me?"

Su Yun took the lead and stepped onto the horns. Bai Yuelou followed suit, saying with a bold face, "Why wouldn't we dare?"

The two of them walked along the horns and arrived at the building on the back of the giant beast. Inside the building, they saw a gorgeous decoration with many carved stone pillars. Several young Qin Ling Shi stared at them with eagle-like eyes and strong vitality.

Su Yun and Bai Yuelou climbed to the top floor one after the other, and Cang Jiuhua walked towards them with a smile. "Yuanshuo, your country may be old and weak, but I didn't expect to meet young heroes like you. Your demeanor is truly unparalleled in the world!"

Bai Yuelou stepped back wisely and let Su Yun walk in front.

However, Cang Jiuhua bypassed Su Yun and came directly to him, bowing and asking, "I am Cang Jiuhua of the Great Qin Sword Sect, an envoy of Great Qin. May I ask for your name and who your master is?"

Bai Yuelou blinked, feeling confused, but followed the teachings of the sages and returned the courtesy calmly. "I am Bai Yuelou, a disciple of Xue Qingfu."

Cang Jiuhua was moved. "I have heard that Yuanshuo has a new saint. This new person also studied in our Great Qin in the past, and we have a deep connection."

He invited Bai Yuelou to take a seat and asked, "Would you dare to enter the imperial city to meet Emperor Ping?"

Bai Yuelou had already sat down and felt uneasy at the words, but he didn't want to stand up and be looked down upon. He smiled and said, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

Su Yun followed behind Bai Yuelou and wanted to find a seat to sit down, but only Cang Jiuhua and Bai Yuelou had seats, so he had to stand.

"I'm getting hungrier and hungrier."

Su Yun was starving and saw several young Qin Ling Shi grilling meat and making wine on the back of the beast. He went over and started eating without hesitation.

.

The envoy team started moving as the beast stepped forward, but the imperial city guards planned to stop them. Qiu Shuijing waved his hand lightly, indicating for them to step back.

Qiu Shuijing looked puzzled and asked, "What is that building on the back of the beast?"

At the same time, the young girl Wu Tong and Jiao Shu'Ao, who were having dinner in the village, followed the envoy team to the outskirts of the imperial city. Wu Tong looked up and stared at the sky above the envoy team, saying in surprise, "Strange, what is that?"

The Daoist of the Qingxu Temple, Dao Saint, had a feeling and quickly walked out of the temple to look at the ninth peak of Mount Yuhuang in the eastern capital. He exclaimed, "What a big tongue!"

At the same time, in the Leiyin Pavilion, the faithful men and women who were praying suddenly saw the holy Buddha's golden body stand up. His body was thin and tall, about two zhang high, and he stumbled out of the pavilion and headed straight for the imperial city.

Ordinary people with mortal eyes could not see this scene, but the old Dao and the holy Buddha had the eyes of the Daoist and the eyes of the Buddha, and they could see it clearly.

Above the envoy team, a huge tongue was flying, with a forked tip like a red double-headed python, coiling and uncoiling. Various strange patterns appeared on the tongue, flickering and disappearing, constantly changing!

And below the tongue was Su Yun, eating heartily.

Cang Jiuhua glanced at Su Yun and sneered in his heart, "He really is a handsome glutton."Translation:

Zhai Zhu: Um, I have a friend who is middle-aged and his temples are gradually balding. No matter what hairstyle he tries, it doesn't look good. My friend shaved his head before, but now that his hair has grown out, it still looks ugly. He even postponed his planned live interaction with his book friends. I'm asking on behalf of my friend, what hairstyle should he keep? Urgent~
