Lost Narrative Poetry

Staring at the amorphous mass of vibrating sword light that quickly returned to its original state after the infusion of spiritual power stopped, Xia Ran let out a long sigh.

Maybe it's because I want the fairy sword not to be limited to a certain attribute form, but to be as ever-changing as myself, and to be able to reconcile or reverse the power of the five spirits for my own use——

Coupled with the determination not to fail, he even smashed into the first S-class causal crystal that he had collected over the years, locking in the perfect future and making it inevitable to become the final world line.

That's why we can refine from quality to qualitylessness, reaching the highest state of practicing reality into emptiness.

After all, "tangible and qualitative" itself is a manifestation of specific attributes that have been determined, and it has nothing to do with the theoretical basis of his design concept of "mutually generated from the two qi of yin and yang, matched with the five elements, and generated all things" .

"Saber, can you lend me Avalon first?"

After thinking about it carefully, Xia Ran looked at the blond swordsman girl beside her, wanting to use the sheath of the holy sword to solve the problem.

Because he tried every means and found that there was only one piece of equipment capable of binding this fairy sword.

The sheath of the holy sword, which has been called "Utopia far away from everything", "Utopia isolated from the world", "Avalon", etc., is used to store and restrain the divine weapons forged from the planet.

The very existence of the scabbard is equivalent to "magic". It can isolate all physical interference and interference from parallel worlds, forming an absolute defense that cannot be touched no matter what, making it the strongest guardian known in the world.

"Well...Master, if you need it, just take it and use it."

Arturia nodded and took out the scabbard, which was decorated with eye-catching blue enamel on golden metal and had long-lost elf writing in the middle.

According to legend, the loss of the sheath cast an ominous shadow on King Arthur's life, which ultimately led to the collapse of the kingdom. During the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family excavated this object from Cornwall, and Emiya Kiritsugu used it as a medium to summon her.

It's not that she doesn't know the importance of the scabbard to herself, but that's all in the past. She's not a king now, and the scabbard no longer has much symbolic meaning...it only has the actual effect as a noble phantom. However, it is not said that this kind of strategic equipment can be used often.

If they often need invincible defense to save the situation, then their situation would be too difficult. It is a miracle that they can survive until now.

So it doesn't matter if you lend it to your Master. You can just take it back and use it when needed.

"Let's try it first, and then I'll think of other ways..."

Xia Ran took the scabbard and shook it gently. The exquisite and gorgeous scabbard immediately unfolded its true form, breaking down into hundreds of pieces from a whole, suspended in the air, with rays of light outlining and pulling each other.

He pushed the vibrating sword light bound by the invisible force field in his other hand into the scabbard that was broken into hundreds of pieces. The scabbard automatically separated, allowing him to easily send the sword light in. At the center, it is surrounded from all sides.

Then, gently retract the slender palm.

The invisible force field naturally broke down, and the vibrating sword light like plasma became restless in an instant, and began to radiate amorphously around, hitting every direction, like a group of violent, alive, and conscious beings. light waves.

However, it doesn’t make any sense——

Just as Xia Ran expected, the scabbards that had been broken down into hundreds of pieces began to gather together to merge into one. The force field formed between each other seemed thin, but it was truly invincible defense and isolation. All truths in this world.

Being in it is like being in a fairy land. It is another world that is isolated from this world and cannot be reached...it can be said that it no longer even exists in this world.

Moreover, it is just the instinctive restlessness of the fairy sword, rather than being manipulated by the user to burst out with overwhelming power. The user is even specifically controlling the scabbard to suppress its power. If he can still break free from all restraints, Then there really is a ghost.

The violent restlessness was gradually suppressed, and the scabbard slowly became a whole again. In this process, the sword light was gradually squeezed and restricted to a limited area, and was bound again to form a more stable one. state.

"Just right..." Xia Ran exhaled softly, tried to open the storage space, and threw things in to take a look.

Golden ripples appeared in the air, as if the unquiet water surface was rippling, and the scabbard seemed like a stone thrown into the water, penetrating through it all at once without any sign of rejection.

"Okay, let's go..." After finishing all this, Xia Ran clapped her hands and said to Saber.

"Are you leaving now?" Artoria was stunned for a moment. Was this simply going too far? She subconsciously looked at the girl in palace clothes next to her, and hesitated for a moment. Did her master treat this girl like nothing?

Chu Bihen had already expected it, but his eyes were still gray, as if they had lost their highlights, looking dim and desperate.

She bit her lower lip tightly, hard enough to bleed, but she didn't know what to say -

Ever since the two people came to this secret realm, she had been full of hope that the other party could bring about changes in the bitter cold she had suffered for thousands of years and save herself from the sea of ​​suffering.

However, the other party was indifferent, and her words were neither salty nor light. No matter what she said, she didn't care, and she never planned to follow her instigation to find the burning stone left by the owner...

It would be fine if the other party was incapable of completing it, but the other party searched everywhere for a suitable sword-making place, and also went to the Burning Flame Cave in the northwest, and beat a beast king there until he was so angry that he dared not speak...

Obviously he could have brought the stone back at that time, but the other party didn't even look at it, as if he didn't care about such a thing at all. Chu Bihen almost lost her breath and fainted, and it took a long time to recover.

Because of this, her sister Chu Hanjing gradually became friendly towards the two uninvited guests, and was no longer so wary and hostile towards them. On the contrary, my sister Chu Bihen gradually began to become desperate.

Could it be that she really has no chance to leave this place?

"Are you leaving?"

A clear and sweet voice sounded like ice cutting through snow. From a mirror-like entrance on the other side of the Moon Realm, another girl in palace clothes walked in. Her appearance was about sixty-seven times that of Chu Bihen. Similar, but the temperament is more quiet, as bright as the first snow.

"That's right, I have to say goodbye now...I've been really annoying you these days, Miss Han Jing."

Xia Ran showed a smile, and politely cupped his fists and handed over his hands. After so many years, his words and deeds are naturally in shape and spirit, full of ancient style. Unless he himself is exposed, even if a time traveler comes, he will not I just think he is a pure ancient man.

"It's nothing to bother you. Speaking of which, I should thank you..." Chu Hanjing smiled lightly, "If you hadn't cleaned up the monsters around the Moon Nether Realm, Bihen and I would have wanted to It’s hard to go out and walk around.”

"It's just a little effort..." Xia Ran chuckled and pointed at his servant, "Besides, this is all Lili's credit, I didn't do anything..."

Seeing the scene of the young Taoist and his sister talking happily, Chu Bihen, as the younger sister, suddenly felt bitter. She was obviously very enthusiastic from the beginning, but her sister didn't have any good looks and even wanted to throw them away. drive away...

The results of it?

Why does this person seem to admire his sister very much, but he has never been either salty or indifferent towards himself. Although he is not sarcastic, he does not have a good look... Chu Bihen is almost furious. Why is this? !

"Because I don't just look at superficial skills..."

At this moment, the young Taoist turned around and waved his hand as if to answer her question.

"..."

"..."

Then, there was a moment of silence.

After a while, Chu Bihen said with a trembling voice: "You... what are you talking about, I don't quite understand..."

"If you don't understand, then you don't understand. I just said that casually." Xia Ran shook his head, saying that he didn't want to pursue this issue fiercely, and just hammered it a little.

However, this understatement made Chu Bihen bite her lower lip hard, her expression a little pale, but at the next moment, her expression suddenly became hysterical, and she yelled at the top of her lungs:

"That's right! I wanted to lie to you from the beginning. I wanted to cultivate a real immortal body, so my sister had to die! I knew this from the beginning, but I still had to do it——!!"

Arturia was stung by the sudden burst of high decibels, which made her ears hurt, but then she was slightly stunned, her eyes focused, and she stared very sharply at the girl in palace clothes who seemed to have suddenly lost control of her emotions.

Is that the reason? That's why the Master doesn't want to pay attention to this girl at all? !

"Bihen, you..." Chu Hanjing was also shocked and looked at his sister blankly.

"Sister, you must not have thought that I actually know about this! The Thoreau tree only bears one fruit in its life, but two tree fairies appeared. This is something that goes against common sense..."

However, Chu Bihen gritted her teeth and stared at her sister with a very angry and resentful look——

"You and I are one body, but not one body, so if one becomes an immortal, the other will die... These things were told to you by the master, but you refused to tell me, nor how to enter the Burning Flame Cave. It’s just because you don’t want me to become an immortal, right?”

"..."

"..."

Chu Hanjing was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly:

"I have known for a long time how much you hate me, and I also know that you have always regarded me as a threat... But since you know this, you must also know that if you are selfish, you cannot use the master to stay. The spiritual being transformed into an immortal will only make your soul fly away..."

"Selfish?! What is selfishness? I just want to leave here. Is it also called selfishness? Do you know how painful it is for me?! I just want to leave here and see what the outside of the cave is like, not what it has been like for thousands of years. I will stay here forever and face you alone forever!"

Chu Bihen's decibel level increased a lot again.

"... Even so, it's better to have you and me together as sisters, even if we are lonely forever, it's still better than that result. I can't just watch you lose your soul..." Chu Hanjing sighed quietly, "Whether you become an immortal or not, it's better than that. Do you really need to be so persistent?”

"That's nice to say! The more you didn't say anything, the more painful it was for me. I sneaked out many times to search aimlessly and almost lost my life..."

After Chu Bihen's emotional outburst, she also broke the pot. She sneered and said with a tone full of resentment.

"Do you dare to say that you didn't deliberately want to eradicate my existence in this way so that you can seize the opportunity to become an immortal by yourself?"

Chu Hanjing was silent again, already knowing that the fear and resentment in his sister's heart had accumulated to such an extent that no matter what she said, it would be impossible to believe it, because her mentality was completely hostile and antagonistic.

Unless she is willing to die obediently and give up the opportunity to Bihen. But in the final analysis, she loses control of her emotions at this time and uses words to accuse her sister with resentment. Isn't it just hoping that such a "miracle" will happen?

With a long sigh, Chu Hanjing looked at the young Taoist beside him.

…

…

At the same time, night fell.

The location is Boxian Town at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, a town with a strong local flavor and nomadic customs.

Yuntianhe and his party were temporarily trapped in the carriage and horseback station in the town, because Murong Ziying and others only sent them here and did not take them directly to the Immortal Mountain. They had to walk through the Taiyi Immortal Path by themselves to complete the previous test. .

Han Lingsha was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do. Not long after arriving in this town, she suddenly felt dizzy, as if her body had been hollowed out...

Yun Tianhe and Liu Mengli thought she might have suffered from heatstroke, so they insisted on resting in the town for one night.

"Dad...Mom...don't leave..."

It's late at night and everything is silent.

Liu Mengli was in her room, but she heard the sound of talking in her sleep coming from the next door, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Han Lingsha usually seems carefree and straightforward, as if she doesn't care about anything, but she also has such a side.

Probably unable to sleep, the girl sat on the edge of the bed and gently pressed her long hair in the darkness, with a strange look in her eyes.

She could feel that there was an extremely powerful "god" in that long hair. It was as obvious as the bright moon in the sky to her perception. It was really difficult not to notice it.
