36. Surprise

I covered myself in the quilt for too long last night, and when Gu Ziyan woke up in the morning, I felt that I was almost suffocating. Lifting the quilt suddenly, Gu Ziyan just showed his head and took a breath, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the figure on the stone couch opposite. Instead, there was Patriarch Kiyogaki sitting at the table holding a cup of hot tea and basking in the sun with half-squinted eyes.

"Yo, wake up? If you don't wake up, the old man will be ready to spank you. Patriarch Qingyuan took a sip of hot tea and stretched out his finger to point to the sunlight that came in from the window, "If I'm not mistaken, the experience of going down the mountain has always been to gather in front of the heavenly steps, and if you rub it any longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up." ”

When Gu Ziyan heard this, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, got up from the bed in a hurry, and asked while putting on his boots: "Master, where is my master?" ”

"Something." Patriarch Qingyuan said lightly and continued to drink tea.

It's the same as not saying it! Gu Ziyan secretly slandered. He was about to leave the Taihua Immortal Sect for a while, but he couldn't say goodbye to Mo Yong, and he always felt a little empty in his heart. Although most of the words last night were jokes, after all, after seven years of relative feelings, of course I will feel unaccustomed to leaving suddenly.

Gu Ziyan thought about it, and suddenly slapped himself on the leg: How long can you go down the mountain to practice, I am still here "sentimental", and I really go back more and more.

Looking at his expression that was alone and tangled, Patriarch Qingyuan sneered, raised his hand and threw something over: "The sword has been cast for you, don't think about it there!" Hurry up and assemble. ”

Reaching out to catch the thing that was thrown over, Gu Ziyan fixed his eyes and saw that it was the galaxy umbrella. However, compared to yesterday, there is an extra gap at the end of the silver handle. Pulling the handle of the umbrella apart along this gap, a translucent sword blade slowly appeared in front of him, and the whole sword had no substance except for the small piece of silver at the very end, but it exuded a scorching flow of fire, which was obviously much stronger than the previous sword spirit.

I don't know if it's affected by the galaxy, and there is a little more star on the shining sword, which is more dazzling than before.

Closing the sword in the umbrella, Gu Ziyan stood up and hugged Patriarch Qingyuan without warning: "Thank you, Ancestor!" ”

"Go, go, I want to hug your master, I can't help you toss this old bone." Reaching out to pick up the octopus on his body, although Patriarch Qingyuan had a slight disgust in his tone, he was still very useful from the expression.

"Then how dare I, or the ancestor looks more amiable." Gu Ziyan stuck out his tongue and put Xinghe back behind him, "Don't make a fuss, I'm really going to be late if I delay any longer." ”

"Hurry up, I saw that you were very well-behaved when I was a child, why did you grow up so noisy!" Patriarch Qingyuan waved his hand, watched Gu Ziyan walk out of the cave, and sighed with a smile.

As soon as Gu Ziyan left the cave, he summoned the stepping flame and went directly in the direction of the heavenly steps. Since a few years ago, he has not kept this horse hidden much, anyway, no matter how rare it is, as long as he says that Mo Ji gave it, no one will suspect it at all. As for Mo Yun, who has long known his origins, he will not investigate how this horse came from.

By the time he hurried to the Heavenly Steps, the first four teams of disciples had already left one after another, and he happened to catch up with his fifth team to prepare to set off.

The disciples had already prepared a multi-purpose luan car, and the ten people were exactly divided into two, plus the one taken by the division commander who took them down the mountain, a total of three taels of luan carts were waiting in front of the heavenly steps. Gu Ziyan glanced twice at the two Luan cars behind him, and after finding Baizhu, he walked straight towards the car. There were four people in the car, and Gu Ziyan just opened the door, but found a cat squatting on the vacant seat.

Silver fur, heterochromatic pupils, and a small bell tied with red silk on the right front paw, who else could it be if it wasn't Qiuqiu?

Gu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Baizhu: "Why did you bring it?" ”

"As soon as I went out this morning, you cat squatted in front of the door, holding my leg and trying to follow me. I thought about it, and no one said that I was not allowed to bring a spirit pet when I went down the mountain this time, so I brought it over. Atractylodes flicked his index finger on the ball and then quickly withdrew his hand before being scratched.

"Meow!" Qiuqiu stretched out his claws, but he couldn't reach Baizhu, so he could only bare his teeth at him.

"Qiuqiu, come, give me a seat." Gu Ziyan beckoned to Qiuqiu, and the cat's originally exploded fur went back, and a meow rushed from the seat into Gu Ziyan's arms. Holding the ball and smoothing the hair twice, Gu Ziyan made it to the vacant seat, only to find that his position was in the center of the back row.

The two seats in a vertical row on the left hand sat Bai Shu and Su Qiong, although these two people were not usually very harmonious, but there were only two of them in this team, and no one would look for a ballast at this time. As for the one on the right, there is a pair of sisters and brothers surnamed Yin, both of whom are disciples of Long Shoufeng, the elder sister is called Yin Li, and the younger brother is called Yin Bei.

The Yin clan of Xuantianzhou, good at yin and yang, can control ghosts and suppress souls, and it is even rumored that the Yin clan has the art of borrowing life, which can change life against the sky.

Most of the disciples on Longshou Peak were from such big families with strong backgrounds, and Gu Ziyan was not surprised after hearing their introduction, but chatted with a natural attitude. He was likable in his original appearance, although he won the first place in the Qingyun list this time, but he had no pride at all, and seeing that Yin Li was two years older than him, he also called him a senior sister, so he quickly won the favor of the two.

After everyone greeted each other, Bai Zhu reached out and took out a scroll from under the small table in the center of the Luan car: "This is this mission to Cangtian Prefecture, while it is still far from the destination, let's find out the situation first." ”

"Please." Yin Li nodded, she was more outgoing and straightforward among her sisters and brothers, and compared to Yin Bei, who was a little shy, she usually had more ideas. At this time, she opened her mouth, and Yin Bei, who had been looking out of the window, also withdrew her gaze and gathered towards the small table.

Although Bai Zhu didn't know how to become the role of explainer, he still unfolded the scroll and told the story of what he already knew: "There are three things to solve this time, one of which is the sudden plague near Biluo City in Cangtian Prefecture, but the source cannot be found, so it is suspected that there is a monster to haunt us, and we need to go to find out the situation, and if we can, we will eradicate the source." Second...... Su Qiong, this matter is related to your family, so let's talk about it. ”

"Huh?" Su Qiong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then lowered her eyes as if she didn't want to mention it, "Actually, I don't know very well, it's just that my mother said in a letter a while ago that the family has not been peaceful recently, and there are always strange things and poverty, and several people have died one after another, but the murderer has not been found so far." The clan thought that this matter was very strange, but when they invited the monks of Cangtianzhou to come and see, they didn't see a reason. So I asked me to help ask for help from the teacher, but I didn't expect this matter to become the content of our trial. ”

As the saying goes, family ugliness is not publicized, Su Qiong feels that the Su family is a big family, but at this time, it is always a bit embarrassing to ask disciples of the same generation as him to help.

"How can we deal with this plague in Biluo City? Could it be that there is no immortal cultivation sect in Cangtian Prefecture? Yin Li suddenly asked, in her impression, there were similar things in Xuantianzhou, but at that time, it was all solved by the Yin family.

"It's true that this matter should have been handled by the Xishan Sect near Biluo City, but you should also know that Cangtian Prefecture has a vast territory but is quite lacking in resources such as spiritual energy. The Xishan faction has already declined, and it is too busy to take care of itself, and it is simply unable to deal with this matter. However, the head of the Xishan faction had some friendship with the Taihua Immortal Sect, so he sent someone over and asked the Taihua Immortal Sect to help. When Baizhu said this, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Su Qiong a little embarrassed.

As he gets older, his arrogance back then has also been worn out a lot, and Su Qiong can now clearly realize that his background is really nothing to praise. When Baizhu talked about the current situation in Cangtianzhou, although he didn't talk about him, he would inevitably connect it himself.

Seeing him like this, Bai Shu muttered softly: "Is this guy thinking too much." ”

actually has something to do with the Su family, Gu Ziyan's heart moved, he hadn't forgotten how Su Pu, the original owner of Jì's body, died. At the beginning, he promised to help Su Pu remember this hatred. It just so happened that this time I would definitely have to go to Su's house, and when the time came, I would take the opportunity to figure out what happened back then, and when the time came, I would complain and take revenge.

Just as Gu Ziyan was making a small calculation in his heart, the driving Luan Bird suddenly let out a long roar and slowly fell to the ground, and their Luan car naturally stopped.

"Here we are." Bai Zhu glanced out the window, and another Luan car on the opposite side also fell to the ground, and the other seven people in the team had already gotten out of the car one after another.

Gu Ziyan also picked up the ball and walked off the car behind several other people. When he got out of the car, his eyes inadvertently caught eye on Lin Chuxia opposite, and at that moment, Gu Ziyan felt that he should have shiveredβ€”he was not mistaken, right? What's the matter with that gentle and generous smile on Lin Chuxia's face? My mom, she actually raised the corners of her mouth when she saw herself, which is the most normal kind, like a smile that only friends can have.

But when such a smile appeared on Lin Chuxia's face, it made Gu Ziyan very frightened. He hurriedly patted the Baizhu beside him and whispered, "Look at Lin Chuxia, is there something wrong with my eyes or is she suddenly enlightened?" No, when I look at her expression, I always feel that the next moment she will stab me, it is too scary. ”

However, Baizhu was much calmer, he glanced at Gu Ziyan silently, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes: "Are you stupid?" This time, Uncle Mo Yong led the team, even if she hates you, she won't come out at this time. When it comes to the male god, you have become transparent in her eyes. ”

"Oh, I see...... Gu Ziyan nodded, but the next second, his eyes widened, "What did you say?" It was my master who brought us over this time? ”

"Gu Ziyan, don't sue me and you don't know, so I will really suspect that you are stupid." Baizhu's eyes changed from disgust to surprise, and finally to a trace of pity, "Poor child, I don't know anything and have to go down the mountain to practice, it's really hard for you......"

"Go and don't take the opportunity to laugh at me." Gu Ziyan slammed the ball in his arms into Baizhu's arms. Qiuqiu was frightened, and slapped his paw on Baizhu's arm, scratching out a few obvious white marks on his clothes.

Looking at Qiuqiu's paws, Baizhu stiffened his arms and didn't dare to move, for fear that this cat uncle would come directly to his face. When he looked up, he just wanted to stuff the cat into Ziyan's hand, but Baizhu found that this kid had already run towards the leading Luan car.

Mo Yong had actually walked out of the Luan cart, but he just stood there with an aura that no one could approach, so that even if the other disciples had their eyes glowing, they only dared to talk privately from a distance, but they did not dare to approach. Of course, Gu Ziyan was an exception, he trotted in front of Mo Yong and shouted, "Master." ”

"Huh?" Mo Ji's gaze fell on his face, and in a pair of cold eyes, it seemed that thousands of stars had risen in an instant.

For a moment, Gu Ziyan didn't know what he wanted to say. In the end, he just whispered a little dejectedly: "Master didn't tell me in advance if he wanted to come together, if he knew, he wouldn't have said those nonsense last night." ”

Mo Yong looked at him with his head down, as if two lowered ears had grown out of his hair, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly: "I didn't come originally." ”

"Huh?" Gu Ziyan raised his head when he heard this, and happened to see Mo Ji hooking up a trace of the corners of his lips. That smile seemed to be the beginning of the winter snow, and it was indescribably good-looking, so that Gu Ziyan couldn't understand the meaning of Mo Yong's words for a while.

"This morning, I went to meet the senior brother in charge." Mo Yong's tone was very flat, and he brought this sentence over in one sentence.

So, it was because of his half-joking words last night, so Mo Yong went to the head of Xuanxu? So the division commander in charge of his own team will be temporarily replaced by Mo Yong?

Gu Ziyan's mind was a little chaotic, he wondered, in this way, did Mo Ji take what he said last night seriously......

Thinking about it, the roots of the ears felt a little hot again.
