2.

The mind returned to the present.

The previous palace master of Langhuan Palace has long since passed away, and the female disciple who had lived in the forest for a long time and had a simple mind is now sitting in the position of her own master.

The incident that happened back then, although Ling Ying rejected the family matter proposed by Langhuan Palace in public, and even kissed Yunxiao to make Luo Qiushui faint, but the previous palace master did not take this matter out on the Ziyang Divine Sect. After all, she didn't have much hope in her heart before proposing, and the relationship is all up to herself, and it is not something that others can control, so she doesn't have any thoughts of blame.

But Luo Qiushui is different, she has been the object of the stars holding the moon in Langhuan Palace since she was a child, how could she have suffered such grievances. She couldn't figure out what was so good about that cloud, and Ling Ying could let her go...... No, the premise of "leaving her away" is to be with her first, and Ling Ying didn't even look at her at all.

Luo Qiushui didn't blame Ling Ying for this matter, so these anger naturally burned to the sky.

Hearing that the disciples in the palace said that Ling Ying also appeared in the Forbidden City, Luo Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked, "Is it just the Immortal Head...... Is his wife with him?"

That disciple seemed to hear the chill seeping out of his palace master's words, and couldn't help but shudder, and said, "No, it's just the immortal head alone." ”

"It's a shame. Luo Qiushui secretly said these three words in his heart, thinking that Ling Ying would leave the Quadruple Building and come to the Triple Building to do business, that woman should have stayed in the sect to help take care of affairs. If Yunxiao also followed Ling Ying to the Forbidden City, she would definitely go there at this moment, defeat that woman in front of Ling Ying, and let Ling Ying see who is the real pride of the sky......! Now it seems that we can only get down to business first.

"What are they going to do in the capital?" Luo Qiushui asked.

That disciple couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that she no longer asked about Ling Ying, after all, his own palace master was asking about the situation of the immortal head in such a resentful tone, which made them really embarrassed for the disciples who made the report. "Immortal Head and Ye Wuxin are both masters above the Ten Heavens, and our people don't dare to get too close, for fear of being detected. But look at them like that, it should be ...... It's looking for someone. ”

Luo Qiushui frowned slightly: "Looking for someone?" She pondered for a moment and said: "Lin Xiao is fine, if the immortal head and the sword idiot are also together, then it means that they should be looking for someone in the cultivation realm, and it must be a good hand." But this is a three-story building...... Where will there be any people from the Cultivation Realm?"

The disciple speculated, "Could it be that they are just looking for someone who has nothing to do with the cultivation realm?"

"Even the immortal head and the sword idiot have been dispatched, if you want to say that you are not looking for a big person, I really don't believe it. Luo Qiushui frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a certain possibility, so he asked: "Back then, the fission of heaven and earth was divided into 'seven-story buildings', and parts of the Central Plains collapsed downward, forming part of the current three-story building, and the Forbidden City was also among them;

The disciple said, "My subordinates are stupid, I really don't know about this. But...... However, his subordinates think that the one who can make the sword idiot and the immortal head go out together must be a great big man. Back then, in the Central Plains, although there were many Xuanmen families, those who could meet this requirement were only afraid of ...... I'm afraid it's still not!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the disciple said again: "It's just ......."

Luo Qiushui's face darkened slightly: "If you have anything to say, you can finish it all at once! If you gasp so much again, believe it or not, I will send someone to cut off your tongue!"

The disciple's face turned pale with fright, his knees weakened, and he fell directly to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Belong...... Subordinates are convicted, subordinates ...... The subordinates just suddenly remembered that although there were no famous Xuanmen families or cultivators in the Forbidden City, they ...... But...... But this Shanhaiguan is all over it!" she said as she fell to the ground trembling, looking so frightened that she even said it several times.

This hint was obvious enough, so Luo Qiushui thought about it logically: "You mean-Shi Bin, the 'moon worshipping resident' of Shanhaiguan Moon Worship Tower?"

The disciple said, "Exactly." ”

"Shi Bin?" Luo Qiushui looked at the round of Huiyue in the sky, then playfully repeated the name, and then nodded: "Well, although this person doesn't know how to cultivate, but just by virtue of his relationship with the Moon Worship Tower and Wanhua Valley, he is indeed qualified to let Ye Wuxin and others come forward to meet him in person." But if the person Lin Xiao and his party are looking for is Shi Bin, then they should come to Shanhaiguan, why should they go to the Forbidden City?"

"Subordinate...... The subordinates boldly speculated that they went to the Forbidden City to make a gesture of looking for people, just to hide people's eyes. The disciple's thinking was flexible, and he immediately deduced: "They are probably also afraid of being secretly targeted, so on the surface, they are going to the Forbidden City, but in fact, they want to make a detour to Shanhaiguan through the Forbidden City, which may be ...... It may not be a few days before you will be here. ”

Luo Qiushui chuckled and said, "Your mind turns quite quickly. Alright, don't kneel anymore, get up and talk. The disciple hurriedly thanked him and quickly stood up, while quietly bending down to rub his knees, which were aching from his knees.

"If it's really like what you said, Lin Xiao's real purpose is actually the Shi family in Shanhaiguan, then the best way for us to intercept them is to wait for the rabbit. Luo Qiushui said, "But this Qinhuangyu Mountain Customs is not a big place after all, and it is not easy to intercept them smoothly." ”

At this time, another voice sounded behind the two of them: "I've seen the palace master." ”

The disciple turned around, gave a salute, and said respectfully, "Senior Sister Liu is good." ”

The "Senior Sister Liu" nodded: "You go down first." ”

Luo Qiushui turned around, looked at the "Senior Sister Liu" and said: "Senior Sister Ruling, why be so restrained, just call me 'Senior Sister' like before, what 'Palace Master' is not 'Palace Master', it sounds like a tight life." This woman named "Liu Ruling" is the true disciple of the previous Langhuan Palace Master, and she is still Luo Qiushui's senior sister in terms of qualifications, but her talent is not as outstanding as her own junior sister, and she is plain and does not like to compete, so although she is a benevolent and generous senior sister, it is her junior sister Luo Qiushui who succeeds her as the palace master.

Liu Ruling smiled slightly and said: "Now that you are the palace master, there are some rules that should be observed or observed, and it has nothing to do with seniority or anything." After finishing speaking, she paused a little and said, "I heard a little bit of your conversation just now. Are you suspicious now - Lin Xiao and their trip to the Forbidden City is just a trick, but in fact, the real purpose is to come to Shanhaiguan?"

Luo Qiushui nodded: "At present, it seems that this should be the case." ”

Liu Ruling looked at her: "How sure do you think you are?"

Luo Qiushui sounded quite confident: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

"If that's what you expected, then we'll just be here and wait. Liu Ruling also agrees.

Luo Qiushui frowned slightly and said: "It's right to wait for the rabbit, but this Shanhaiguan is so big, and we don't know Lin Xiao's whereabouts, to find them is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, you can't just scatter all the disciples, one person squats at a point." ”

Liu Ruling said with a smile: "Don't you think that their target is the Shi Bin who worshiped the Moon Tower back then? If that's the case, then we don't have to spend any effort to track down Lin Xiao's whereabouts, just ambush near Shi's house, and they will naturally send them to the door!"

"The law of time in this three-story building is different from that of the four-story building, and time has passed. More than 1,000 years have passed, and Shi Bin must have been dead for a long time, but I don't know how much ability the descendants of the family still have left. Luo Qiushui said with some worry, "If the Shi family finds out that we have set up an ambush near their house and disturbed their purity, and blame us, it will be extraneous." ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruling swore and said, "No." ”

Luo Qiushui couldn't help but be stunned: "Senior sister, how can you be so sure?"

"On the first day we came to Shanhaiguan, we were already investigating everything in this area, and the first thing we found was the Shijia family that collapsed with Shanhaiguan to the three-story building. Liu Ruling said, "I'm also worried that if the family still controls the forces in the Shanhaiguan area, if we make some moves here to disturb them, it will naturally be endless trouble." So I went to find out about the situation of Shi's family that day, and the results were ...... Junior Sister of the Palace Master, guess what?"

Luo Qiushui shook his head blankly: "How?"

"The Shi family has long since declined. Liu Ruling said, "When I went to Shi's ancestral house, all I saw was a desolate and dilapidated scene, not to mention people, not even chickens and dogs. It is estimated that after the Shi family fell to the triple building, it gradually assimilated with the mortal people, and the housekeeping skills of the past have long been lost. ”

Luo Qiushui's eyes lit up: "So...... If we want to wait for the rabbit, we can go directly to the ancestral house of the Shi family and wait. ”

Liu Ruling nodded: "Not bad." ”

"If that's the case, then we can start setting it up tomorrow. Luo Qiushui said, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - firstly, because he had finally found a plan against Lin Xiao and his party, and secondly, because he could finally leave the attractions of this ancient city tower!

"Staying with these ordinary people who come for sightseeing all day long, I feel like I'm about to be assimilated by them!" Luo Qiushui sneered.

...............

The next day, it was night.

There is an urban village in Qinhuangyu, where the ancestral house of the Shi family is located, which has been abandoned for many years. When the old lady of the Shi family died of illness, and it coincided with Shi Lin's great-grandfather Shi Guoyi returning from studying in Britain and getting a position in Tsinghua Garden, so the family moved to the Forbidden City, and the ancestral house of the Shi family was abandoned at that time. Since the twenties and thirties of the last century, the old house has been vacant for eighty or ninety years.

It is a miracle that a house that has not been lived in for eighty or ninety years can still be preserved intact, and I don't know what kind of materials the ancestors of the family used to build this ancestral house. It is estimated that it is because of this that it was not demolished by the government as a dilapidated house.

But it's one thing whether the house is sturdy or not, and it's another thing whether it's dirty or not. The room was covered in dust and cobwebs, especially the beams and walls, which were covered in layers of dark filth/things, both deep and shallow, that looked like a mixture of dust, cobwebs, and insect droppings, and a disgusting, musty smell everywhere. The people in Langhuan Palace are all women, all of them are natural/love clean, and a touch of dirt in the palace on weekdays will make them unbearable, let alone such a filthy scene.

Some people couldn't hold back and ran out and threw up. This vomit is good, and it arouses the desire of many people to vomit at once, and several more rush out. And the rest of those who didn't vomit are more embarrassing, looking at this piece of ruin inside, and going out to see others vomiting is not, it's a dilemma.

Luo Qiushui's face was not very good, but after all, she was the master of the first palace, and she had to set an example, so she said, "Clean it well, and then we will live here!"

The girls in Langhuan Palace were actually reluctant in their hearts, but the palace master had no choice but to speak, so they had to obey the arrangement. Moreover, even the palace master and the senior sister each picked up a broom that did not know how long the ashes had fallen and began to sweep the ashes, how dare the other disciples watch blankly, and they all took out some cleaning tools prepared in advance, fetching water, wiping and wiping, and they were very busy.

Cleaning the courtyard outside or something, it is some heavy work, although Luo Qiushui and Liu Ruling set an example and do it themselves, they still let the disciples clean it, and the two of them went into the house to tidy up the room where they slept. There were brass locks on the door, which looked like they had already been rusted through, and they could be broken with a little internal force. Liu Ruling picked a room and put her hand on the lock, which was immediately broken in two.

Luo Qiushui looked behind her, and couldn't help laughing: "Has this lock been rusted like this?

Liu Ruling had a strange expression and said, "I just touched it lightly, and I haven't used it yet!"

The smile on Luo Qiushui's face suddenly flickered: "I'll take a look." She leaned over and picked up the half-cut lock that was broken on the ground, shook the open fire talisman in one hand, and looked at the broken position with the bright light emitted by the talisman, and her face couldn't help but change fiercely: "This lock is wrong, the lock cylinder inside has already been broken by someone with internal force!"

Liu Ruling's face also changed, and he immediately took out his long sword and split the door with a sword. The two sisters walked in, only to see that although there was no candle flame inside, it could still be seen that the environment inside was far cleaner than the outside, and the furniture had traces of tidying up, where it looked like no one had lived in it for decades!

No matter how good Rao is Luo Qiushui and Liu Ruling's mentality, they can't help but panic at this moment, and after looking at each other, they said in unison: "It's not good!" Yubi hurriedly ran out, but saw that the courtyard was full of female disciples who were cleaning and cleaning, and they looked like they had all fainted, and at the same time, there was a hint of sweet and greasy smell in the musty smell in the air.

Liu Ruling's face looked bad: "It's not good, it's ecstasy incense!

Luo Qiushui originally wanted to wait for the rabbit to intercept and kill Lin Xiao here, but now it seems that he has been guarded by the rabbit, and the anger in his heart can't help but rise. She held her breath when she picked up the "Turtle Breath Gong", and said sharply at the same time: "Where did the thief come from, he dared to use such a vicious kung fu to plot against this seat!"

As soon as the words fell, a female voice sounded in the ears of the two: "You yourself are too guarded, blame me!"

Hearing this voice, Luo Qiushui and Liu Ruling were stunned. Next, a rich look began to appear on Luo Qiushui's face - first shock, then doubt, and finally seemed to be confirmed, and suddenly became angry again!

"It's you!"

The two turned around and looked up. I saw Yunxiao dressed in white, sitting on the roof, looking at the two people of Langhuan Palace below with a smile.
