As the Universe Turns - Chapter 507
Chapter 507 Qingzhou City
The night unknowingly deepened a little. Xiao Chen pondered for a long time. No matter what, he wanted to go to Qingzhou City to take a look. If he could find that person back then, he would be able to solve many mysteries, especially about his background.
“Let’s … go back and see Miss Wei Yang.”
“Alright.”
The two of them slowly walked back to the cave. Hua Weiyang was still lying quietly on the stone bed, as if he had just fallen asleep.
“Wei Yang …”
Xiao Chen gently stretched out his hand and touched her cheek with his finger. He still felt a bone-chilling coldness, so his heart stabbed again. “Wei Yang, no matter what, I will definitely wake you up …”
…
On the second day, the sky was gloomy. The two of them went to the valley. After recovering overnight, Shen Jing’s complexion looked much better. As the sword qi left her body, the sword wounds on her back would also slowly disappear.
“You can rest assured. Wei Yang, I will take good care of her.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded. After thinking for a night, he finally decided to go to Qingzhou City in two days to see if he could find the person who had survived that year.
Qingzhou City was situated more than a hundred miles southwest of Xuanqing Mountain. Because of its excellent geographical location and the fact that Xuanqing Sect was located nearby, Qingzhou City was extremely prosperous. It was one of the largest cities in the nine continents, with a permanent population of over ten million.
Mortals lived in this world for only a hundred years, so mortals had their own lives. To them, cultivating the Immortal Profound Sect was like the legend of the Immortal God, just like how the people in the Profound Sect understood those deities and devils in the ancient times. Most of them thought that it was just a legend.
As the bustling capital of the mortal world, Qing Zhou was naturally filled with mortals. The places where mortals gathered were naturally filled with martial arts battles. For example, Suzhou and other places had some martial arts aristocratic families. The profound sects usually did not interfere in the martial arts battles of the mortal world. As for the powers in the martial arts world, if they were protected by a profound sect, they would surely rise up in the wind and water.
This was the last day of December. In the mortal world, it was called the “New Year”. Today, the entire Azure Province City was exceptionally lively. Lion dancing, singing, firecrackers, gongs, and drums rang out in unison. The red lights of every household were hanging high, giving off a joyous atmosphere for the New Year.
Xiao Chen walked alone in the streets against the surging winds. Looking at the giggling children on the streets, he couldn’t help but recall when he was a child. Every New Year, Ah Niang would always knit two new clothes for him, and then go to the town to buy some New Year goods … In the blink of an eye, almost twenty years had passed.
As they walked, the sound of opera suddenly came from a street in front of them. Turning a corner, they saw a large restaurant surrounded by people. It turned out that a few days ago, a famous troupe from Suzhou came to Qingzhou City.
When Xiao Chen arrived outside the restaurant, he saw that the performance on the stage seemed to be familiar. The actors in the play and the singing master.
The singing master sang the same song as the actor played the part. The singing master sang in a cadence, ”
It turned out that what was played in the play was actually something that happened to Xuan Qing back then.
“Young Master, please come in, please come in!”
At the entrance of the restaurant, the waiter greeted Xiao Chen warmly when he saw that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes.
Xiao Chen entered the restaurant and watched what was happening on the stage. At this moment, his heart was like a lake blown by the wind, causing ripples to appear again.
The actors on the stage put on an immersive performance, The singing master was even more skilled in music. His voice could even hold the hearts of the spectators tightly. He sang, “Xiao Yichen turned around and saw Master coming. He immediately felt sorrowful. He tossed his sword and said, ‘This disciple’s abilities are all passed down by Master. Today, there is no room for disciples in this world. This disciple has returned all of his abilities to Master!'”
The opera master’s singing touched everyone’s hearts. It was as if everyone in the restaurant knew what was going to happen next. They stood up one after another. Some of the children covered their eyes and a few of the girls cried in fright. They kept crying, “No, no …”
With a “bang”, the corner of the stage that played Yi Chen slapped his forehead with both hands, and red juice that had been prepared beforehand flowed out of his mouth, and then he staggered and fell backwards.
Following the fall of Yichen, the entire restaurant fell into an atmosphere of grief and indignation. The spectators all sighed with grief, while the girl wiped away her tears and couldn’t help but choke.
The opera master continued to sing, “This is innocence through death. Tell me, this Xiao Yichen is a teacher with all his heart, yet he taught that villain to insist that he is the evil son of the Devil Religion. This shows the dangers of the world, the evil of the human heart, and the injustice of the Heavenly Dao!”
Xiao Chen sat in his seat. There was no sorrow or joy on his face. He didn’t expect that his own affairs back then would be adapted into a drama in the mortal world. Those righteous profound sects all said that they had colluded with the demonic demonic woman and killed countless people. On the contrary, it was these mortals in the mortal world who would be indignant about him.
“Bullshit!”
Just as the restaurant was quiet, a ruffian voice suddenly came from outside, “What kind of bullshit are you guys singing? This daddy is puzzled. Does this daddy think that this play is ugly and ugly?”
Outside the restaurant stood a ruffian with a face full of beard. That ruffian had been watching the first scene of the morning while cursing. No matter how hard the troupe rehearsed every day, no matter how hard they sang, they had to curse first for good or bad. Every time they finished singing, they would curse one scene, and they would curse endlessly until now.
At this moment, the people in the restaurant could no longer look over, and they all went out to argue with him. However, what reason could they have with such a person? Instead, he spat out a stinky saliva on his face.
Finally, a young man couldn’t watch any longer and angrily reprimanded him, “You’re just watching the show for nothing, and you don’t spend a penny. Why are you shouting around here all day long?”
Unexpectedly, that ruffian became furious after hearing this. He rushed forward and raised his bowl-sized fist. He smashed his fist down on the noodle door of the young man, “What about this daddy? I want you to take care of him!”
This time, even the other spectators at the entrance couldn’t continue watching. It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford to pay for tea. It was just that the restaurant was full of people, but at least they knew how to respect other people’s contributions and wouldn’t speak ill of others based on their own opinions. However, this ruffian was different. He was accustomed to taking advantage of others and causing trouble everywhere. Everyone reprimanded him for being unreasonable and unreasonable.
Seeing the fight outside, the restaurant clerk hurriedly came out to persuade him. In the chaos, Xiao Chen had left at some unknown time. This was probably the Hundred Forms of the Mortal World.
…
In the next half a month, there were over a thousand restaurants and inns in Qingzhou City. How would Xiao Chen find the person who escaped the calamity in the Ancient Village?
He searched for half a month, but he didn’t have a clue. He felt rather melancholy in his heart. On this day, he came to another restaurant. Not long after he sat down, he heard the noise downstairs. He saw two waiters pushing an old beggar out with all their might. “You go, you go. We really don’t have any wine here today …”
