Outlying Islands and Different Swordsmen

Chapter 1 Outlying Island Fairy, Spiritual Roots

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year, Yang Yiyao's life was very simple.

As the only daughter of Yang Yuanwai, the richest businessman in Linhai City, needless to say, she has no worries about food and clothing. She reads, writes, paints, plays the piano, enjoys flowers and listens to operas every day. What is more special is playing guns with her father.

The ancestors of the Yang family relied on the flower planting business to make a fortune, passed down several generations until Yiyao's father's generation became the richest man in Linhai City.Her father also spent money to donate a foreign official name, and he also had contacts with the surrounding officials, and lived a prosperous and happy life.

Yang Yuanwai usually likes to practice guns and sticks, and he has no son, so he taught Yi Yao how to practice guns since she was five years old, and she is now 22 years old.

For Yi Yao, the biggest hurdle in her life at the age of 22 was the death of her mother.

Yiyao's mother is from a foreign land beyond the South China Sea, and the islands are dotted with dots. When her father traveled to the South China Sea in his early years, the two met and fell in love, and her mother followed her father to Linhai.

But when Yiyao was 12 years old, her mother contracted a strange disease and passed away within an hour before seeking medical treatment.A few days before her mother passed away, Yiyao was still in a relationship with her. When her mother passed away, her father was afraid that Yiyao would contract a strange disease and kept her away from the coffin, so Yiyao did not see her mother for the last time.

Since then, Yang Yuanwai has cared more for his daughter, fearing that she will be wronged, and even refuses to marry again.

"You grow up with peace of mind, and then let's recruit a down-to-earth young man to be your son-in-law. This is my father's greatest wish." Yang Yuanwai said this all day long, and Yi Yao was already impatient.

Father is sometimes busy with business and has no time to take care of the family. Although there are many servants in the Yang family, he has been with Yiyao since he was a child and grew up as a close maid, Ling Duo, who is smart and smart. Yiyao always treats her like a sister.

……

This is Yiyao's life before the age of 22 - until the fifteenth day of the first month of this year.

During the Lantern Festival, the moon is as round as jade.Yiyao and Lingduo strolled around the street for a long time, and then went back to the house to drink some wine with their father, recalling some small things about their mother's life.

Then my father suddenly became interested and insisted on having a marksmanship competition with Yiyao in the courtyard, but Yiyao was a little drunk and refused again and again:
"Old Yang, I really can't practice anymore! Today you win."

"Stop rambling, look at my tiger-headed gun!" The father was very interested, and directly pulled out the tiger-headed golden gun on the gun rack in the hall, and stabbed at his daughter.

"Hey, you're still indoors!" Yi Yao yelled, and at the same time dodged lightly, and pulled out her thin-barrelled Dragon Spear from the gun rack, and said to Ling Duo, the maidservant who was startled next to her, "Ling Duo, stay away from me!" Open up."

Father stabbed again, Yiyao blocked it, and then the two trotted one after the other to the courtyard.

The gun walks away from the dragon, lightly flicks the spirit pick, the father and daughter use the same marksmanship, and earnestly parry.

After ten strokes, Yiyao avoided the point of the tiger's head spear, turned around and jumped up the gun to force her father to face him.The two stopped.

"Haha, Lao Yang, I am better than you in swimming dragon marksmanship now." Yi Yao said with a smile.

"As expected of my daughter." Member Yang laughed loudly, "However, you woman's fine spear can only use the dragon spear. This year is your birthday, I will give you a heavy one, or you can learn from me. The cooked copper rod method."

"No! It's good that I have this gun now." Yi Yao caressed the silver dragon peony carved on the head of her gun, "My mother left it for me, so I'll just use this one. You The copper stick weighs thirty to forty catties, so I can't move it."

At this time, Ling Duo came out and said with a smile: "Yes, master, do you think there is any family in Linhai City whose women can practice martial arts. Miss has already mastered spears. If you practice your thirty-jin cooked copper stick , which family's son dares to marry into our family!"

"Go, go, you little girl, I've been helping your miss since I was a child." Member Yang said with a smile, "Okay, Duyi daughter. Your father and I also want you to have a good health, so that you won't be punished wherever you go in the future." Bully."

"My daughter is not going anywhere." Yi Yao said.

After chatting a few more words, Yi Yao went back to her room to sleep.Slightly drunk, coupled with fatigue from gun practice, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

Yi Yao had a strange dream.

A man covered in a glazed robe stood in front of her in a sunny garden.

Yiyao is a little timid, even though she realizes that this is a dream, she still dare not move after seeing this scene.

But this dream is a bit strange, the scene in the dream is just like in reality, everything can be clearly seen: the warmth of the sun shining on the body, the touch of the breeze on the face, the sound of birds and insects in the ears, There are several kinds of rare and famous flowers with fragrance in the garden - and they are all varieties that have been sold in business at home.

And, the man in front of her, Yi Yao could clearly see his figure, clothes, and movements, as if he was really standing in front of her.But because the man's face was hidden in the burqa, he couldn't see his face clearly.

Seeing Yi Yao, the man was stunned for a while, then suddenly said:

"Miss Shani! I finally see you again!"

The man's voice was a little excited, it was the voice of a young man.

"I...I'm not Miss Xia Ni, you've got the wrong person." Yi Yao replied with some doubts.

"That's right, that's right, it's you! I know you don't remember everything now, but you will soon." The young man said excitedly, walking closer to Yi Yao.

"You...you don't come here! Who are you?" Yi Yao took a few steps back in fear, and involuntarily made the gesture of holding a gun to meet the enemy, but there was no gun in her hand.

"Miss Xia Ni, don't be afraid." The man said and took off his burqa, and he was a handsome young man, "My name is Duanmu Hongyan, and I was your disciple back then."

"You really... got it wrong. My name is Yang Yiyao, not the Xia Ni you mentioned." Yiyao said anxiously, patting her forehead lightly, "Why don't you wake up from this dream..."

"Okay, Miss Yiyao. I have unspeakable difficulties, and I can only see you in this form." Duanmu said seriously, "On the 300th day of the first lunar month, the heavenly gate is wide open, and I was able to find you in people's dreams. You know Is it? I have been looking for you for more than [-] years...finally..."

disciple?Tianmen?fall asleep? 300 years?
Yi Yao couldn't understand what this person said at all, she just said: "I'm only in my 20s..."

"Time is running out, I don't know how long I can be in your dream, but Miss Yiyao must remember my next words no matter what." Duanmu Hongyan said seriously, "This matter is very important, it concerns the entire The safety of the fairy world and the world!"

"Ah? Okay..." Seeing Duanmu's solemnity, Yi Yao had no choice but to agree in a daze.

"Do you know that above the human world, there is also the existence of the fairy world?"

"It's the place where the kind of gods that people believe in and worship gods... live?"

"The gods worshiped by the world are actually created by people themselves. After thousands of years, they have become the spiritual beliefs of the world. The fairy world I am talking about really exists above the human world."

"Is it... in the sky?"

"That's right, beyond the Nine Heavens, the home of immortals. It's just that the world's naked eyes cannot see where it is." Duanmu Hong said solemnly.

In fact, Yi Yao didn't believe it at all, but she knew it was just a dream in her heart, so she didn't think too much, and asked, "Then you... are you also a fairy?"

Duanmu said: "The disciple is not talented, and he has stopped on the way of cultivating immortals. And you... and Miss Xia Ni, is my teacher. If the world wants to become a fairy, it must go to the outlying island and pass the test of Miss Xue Xia Ni on the island." , Only when the gate is opened on the 15th day of the first lunar month every year can you ascend to the fairyland."

"Outlying islands outside the sky? That is to say, if the world wants to become a fairy, the first step is to go to Miss Xia Ni's outlying island outside the sky?" Yi Yao followed his words and asked, "Then this Miss Xia Ni is also a fairy ?”

"Yes. Everyone in the world calls her [Island Fairy], and all those who want to become immortals must pass her test. This practice has been going on for thousands of years since the day when the heavens and the earth first opened and the fairy world first appeared... However, based on human calculations, it is about More than 300 years ago, Miss Xue Shani left the outlying island suddenly and destroyed her own fairy body..." Duanmu said with a serious expression.

"Did she kill herself? Why..." Yi Yao asked.

"I have asked many immortals, but I don't know why... After Miss Xia Ni destroyed her immortal body, her soul and spirit disappeared, but only one spiritual root remained in the world." Duanmu said, "I have the guidance of all the immortals, so I know Her spiritual root is here. So every year when the gate of heaven opens on the 300th day of the first lunar month, and when the spirits in the world are active, I enter the dream of the world and look for Miss Shani’s spiritual root. Since then, I have searched for more than [-] years until I finally found you today——Miss Yiyao, you are the one who has the spiritual root of a female fairy from the outlying islands, and you are the last inheritance left by Miss Xia Ni!"

Yi Yao was silent for a long time, and asked, "How do you know it's me?"

"I am Miss Xia Ni's disciple, and I have received part of her knowledge of art, and I have spent thousands of years with her on outlying islands. I can perceive her vitality. When I enter your dream, I can still see you Body, her spiritual roots. Moreover, you look exactly like her..."

Yi Yao looked down at herself, only to realize that she was wearing a white gauze skirt and robe that she had never seen before, with exquisite embroidery and silver starry sky and phoenix tattooed on it.There is nothing wrong with it except the clothes.

Duanmu continued: "Since Ms. Xia Ni left, people who vainly wanted to become a flying fairy have landed on outlying islands and formed forces. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, people continue to break through the gate of heaven and break into the fairy world, causing chaos in the fairy world year by year; However, in recent decades, with the opening of the Heavenly Gate, the forces of chaos have returned from the fairyland to the human world to cause disaster. The fairyland is on the verge of being destroyed, and the human world is also in chaos..."

"This... is getting more and more bizarre..." Yi Yao thought to herself, "Okay, I've heard enough from him, it's time to wake up from this strange dream..."

"So, the most important thing right now is to find the person to whom Miss Xia Ni's spiritual root is tied, and help her become a fairy on the outlying island again, take back the outlying island, and prevent the disaster of the immortal world!" Duanmu still said very solemnly, "In today's world It's already chaotic, strange magic is everywhere, strange beasts are rampant, and strange people are in charge... You may experience many dangers in the future, but you must remember that you are bound by the spiritual root of the female fairy on the outlying island, and you are the last hope of the two worlds!"

After Duanmu said this, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Yi Yao was actually a little touched by him, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a blur of light and shadow in front of her eyes, and she knew she had woken up.
