Chapter 17: The Cold Moon Statue
There was no wind, but the soot of the rune paper swirled on the ground, and finally condensed into a peculiar sigil. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking at this sigil, the evil seeker seemed to have lost three souls and seven spirits, and stood firmly in place, not knowing what he was muttering.
Although Ye Yun felt that the sigil was a little familiar, and it seemed that he had seen it there, but after walking for most of the day, he had another fight, and he was so tired that he was still interested in watching him play tricks, so he walked into the Drunken Wind Building.
Zuifeng Building is worthy of being a time-honored brand in Yuecheng, the hall is spacious and bright, the main color is bright yellow inlaid with light green, and the luxury style is elegant and elegant.
Two good-looking, tall beauties smiled and brought him to a position, and the warm and polite man immediately brought him good tea.
Ye Yun ordered some wine and food, and paid attention to the conversation of the people next to him while eating.
With the help of Yanlong's True Qi, these voices fell into his ears unmistakably and unmistakably.
After listening to it for a long time, it was either something insignificant or a matter of Fengyue, and when Ye Yun lost interest in listening, a voice caught his attention.
"His Majesty Emperor Xuan's fiftieth birthday is approaching, according to the usual practice, His Majesty will definitely climb the Ling Mountain to worship the heavens, and when the time comes, the princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty will accompany him, is Brother Xingliu still worried that he will not see Miss Ling?"
The young man who looked like a scholar replied with a wry smile: "Brother Sui Yun is studying behind closed doors, not asking about the affairs of the world, Your Majesty is not safe today, and the matter of sacrificing to the sky has been handed over to Her Royal Highness Princess Xing and the concubine Niangniang, at that time, in addition to the eldest grandson General's Mansion, other princes and ministers will gather in the deep garden of the palace, the palace wall is deep, the beauty is like fog, and the younger brother can only sing to the moon and dispel his sorrows with wine." ”
The scholar who called Suiyun was taken aback and said, "How is it possible?" His Majesty Emperor Xuan is brave and martial, eighteen years ago, he slaughtered the dragon in the Sunset Mountain Gorge, shocked things, and cultivated to one of the top ten masters of my Cold Moon Empire, how could the dragon body be unsafe? Could it be that he is suffering from some disease? ”
Xingliu glanced left and right a few times, and said in a low voice: "Brother Suiyun, of course there is a reason for this. Since the eldest grandson's baby daughter Murong Xianxin entered the palace as a concubine, His Majesty was shocked and canonized as a concubine, and since then he has not asked about the government, and has been drinking and having fun with the concubine every day. ”
Sui Yun sighed after hearing this.
Ye Yun also sighed a little, the country is haggard, it is really the same in ancient and modern times.
"I heard that this concubine was born in a stunning city, and her mother, Murong Yiyi, the first beauty in the East at the time, was printed as if it were a seal, although Your Majesty is the supreme of the empire, he has always been a man, how can he resist this temptation? What's even more worrying is that recently, the Twilight Empire has been eyeing the territory of my Cold Moon Empire, and its wolf ambitions are known to everyone, and I am worried that if His Majesty Emperor Xuan continues like this, I am afraid that he will provoke the tiger and wolf army. ”
"The second prince of the Wuxiang Dynasty arrived in Yuecheng yesterday, he obviously celebrated the fiftieth birthday of His Majesty Emperor Xuan, in fact, I think he took the opportunity to spy on His Majesty Emperor Xuan...... Alas, forget it, the drunken wind building only talks about Fengyue and does not talk about state affairs, Brother Suiyun, let's not break the rules. ”
"Brother Xingliu is right, there is a girl in Yihong Courtyard, who looks like a sinking fish and a goose, and she is ashamed ......of flowers in the closed moon."
Finding that he couldn't hear any useful information, Ye Yun left the wine money and walked out of the door.
It's a pity that he didn't hear that Sui Yun continued: "I heard that this girl came back from the branch of Yihong Courtyard in Beicheng, and her name is Ruoshui. ”
……
When Ye Yun walked out of the door, he found that the Xiangshi was still squatting outside the door, staring at the mark with his eyes, Ye Yun was afraid that he would be entangled again, so he hurriedly left under the cover of pedestrians.
Walking on the other side of the avenue, after walking a few steps, there is a huge square, there are several statues in the square, Ye Yun glanced at a white jade statue in the middle, as if he had been struck by lightning, his face was as pale as paper in an instant.
"Why, how could it be her?" His fingers pointed at the statue, his voice shaking.
In this statue, the silk clothes are fluttering, the slender hands are slightly raised, the charm is gentle, and there are fairies in the surrounding mist, and the face Ye Yun can recognize even if it turns to ashes.
Today, thousands of years later, he actually saw the statue of the cold moon!
"No, it can't be! This will never be the statue of the cold moon! No way! Ye Yun felt that the blood in his whole body was tumbling and boiling, he grabbed his hair tightly with both hands, and squatted on the ground in pain.
Passers-by looked at him and showed a look of contempt: "What a countryman, I haven't even seen the statue of the Cold Moon Fairy." ”
"No, it can't be her! Thousands of years have passed, how could anyone have carved her appearance so clearly and accurately! Ye Yun frantically grabbed a passerby, although that person was also a martial artist, but he was caught by Ye Yun without any power to fight back, and he was startled when he saw Ye Yun's eyes full of red silk.
"This, this statue was carved by the Heavenly Craftsman one hundred and fifty years ago based on the Cold Moon Fairy when he descended to earth five hundred years ago."
"Nonsense! Leng Yue has been dead for at least three thousand years, how could he have descended to earth five hundred years ago! If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you! ”
Ye Yun's hand was exerted, and five blood marks suddenly appeared on the chest of this unlucky passerby.
He turned blue with fright, and said tremblingly: "Big, big brother, don't be impulsive." What I said is true, according to historical records, five hundred years ago, the Cold Moon Fairy did descend to the Lingshan Immortal Traces, at that time there were many painters who painted her true face, and the heavenly craftsmen carved this statue according to those portraits. ”
Ye Yun's hand unconsciously let go, and the passer-by took advantage of his daze, quickly tore off his coat, and fled with a smoke.
Ye Yun walked towards the statue of the cold moon, numbly jumped over the guardrail, climbed the flower base, and stood on the base of the statue of the cold moon, looking at the cold moon with fixed eyes.
"If someone hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have been so accurate......"
"Leng Yue, could it be that you really ascended through the tribulation and ascended, embarked on the path of gods and demons as his father and emperor, surpassed the limits of human life, and obtained eternal life?"
Ye Yun's heart was like a surging sea, turning up a monstrous wave, and the extinguished flame of revenge burned again.
"So Leng Yue, aren't you still alive?"
"If that's the case, Cang Tian, you are really good to me Ye Yun******! Give me a chance to slash my enemies. Hahahaha......"
Ye Yun stood in front of the statue and laughed wildly, and in the midst of the wild laughter, he condensed Yanlong's true qi and grabbed Leng Yue's face with one claw.
Yan Longjue returned to Ye Yun, the third queen of heaven, and his finger strength was already extraordinary, even if the fine iron was grabbed by him, there would be five holes, but he grabbed this white jade statue, but he didn't even have a fine line!
"Ahh
Ye Yun was not convinced, and was about to blast Leng Yue a few more punches, but there was an angry cry below: "Bold villain, dare to desecrate the statue of the fairy?" ”
Ye Yun was taken aback and looked down.
Through the mist of water, he vaguely spotted more than a dozen patrol soldiers below, their spears in their hands, and the sharp tips of their spears pointed at him.
It's just that most of them are standing far away, probably worried that they will blaspheme the fairy spirits when they approach.
Ye Yun put on the masked cloth of the girl in black and was about to jump off to escape, when a high-spirited voice rang out from afar: "Get out of the way!" ”
More than forty fast horses came from afar, and Ye Yun stood on a high place and could see clearly, they turned out to be those Xuanjia cavalry who had seen outside Moon City.
"Are you little soldiers tired of life? Dare to intercept the princess? "The black-armored cavalry was there in an instant, their jet-black armor glittering in the sunlight, adding to the momentum.
When the soldiers saw them, they were so frightened that their feet went limp, and they retreated.
Ye Yun took this opportunity to jump from behind the statue of the cold moon, quickly jumped over the guardrail, took off the mask, and gathered back with the flow of people. Seeing the people who were rapidly concentrating, Ye Yun once again sighed that the people of Yuecheng loved to watch the liveliness, perhaps it was the rich and peaceful life that made them so leisurely.
"Commander Luo, what's going on, why is it so noisy?" A handful of voices came out of the gorgeous phoenix, quiet as flowing water, crisp as a yellow warbler, very beautiful.
The commander of the Xuanjia cavalry hurriedly dismounted and came to Feng Luan, and said: "Back to Your Highness, there are more than ten soldiers patrolling the city who have maliciously blocked the road in the square, and their subordinates have ordered them to disperse. ”
"Oh? The Moon Square is the only way to return to the palace, how dare the soldiers patrolling the city block it for no reason, there is something strange about this matter, let the palace go over and see. ”
The cavalry commander hurriedly lifted the curtain, and with the support of two palace maids, a girl wearing a splendid Xia robe and a Xia crown walked down Feng Luan.
When he saw the girl's appearance, Ye Yun's body shook violently, and his heart became in a trance.
Wasn't she the one who fought against seven black-clothed girls of the fifth order and above the Daoist on Longyin Peak that day?
How could she be, how could she be the daughter of Leng Xuan, the current monarch of the Cold Moon Empire, Princess Leng Xing?
Ye Yun's heart fluctuated again, ignoring the danger that might be recognized by the soldiers patrolling the city, he got closer, and then glanced at the star princess a few more times, and when he saw her face clearly, his heart suddenly fell. Although it is very similar and about the same age, she will definitely not be the girl in black, she is a little more graceful than the girl in black, the star princess, but she is a little more active than the girl in black.
He heard the princess ask the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, "Why are you blocking the way to the palace?" ”
A more daring soldier cautiously replied: "Go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, even if we are brave enough to give one day, we will not dare to block the way of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" We saw that some wicked people dared to climb the statue of the Cold Moon Fairy, intending to blaspheme the fairy, so we approached and questioned, but we didn't expect His Royal Highness to return to the palace at this time......"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Star Princess Xing's eyes raised slightly, looking at the statue of Cold Moon, where the fog was shrouded, so who else was there?
She frowned slightly, and said, "The Cold Moon Fairy is the founder of my Cold Moon Empire, and he is also a heavenly immortal, everyone admires him, who dares to blaspheme?" Soldier, are you mistaken? ”
There was a faint aura of majesty in her speech, and the more than ten soldiers were so frightened that they kept kowtowing: "Your Highness, we really saw someone!" ”
The cavalry commander snorted and said, "You people are derelict in their duties, they don't patrol well, not only rest and lazy under the fairy statue, but also make up lies to deceive the princess, it's really damned!" Come on, take these soldiers to the city guard, and let him deal with them properly! ”
"Yes!" Several cavalrymen leaped off their horses and grabbed the patrolling soldiers.
"Princess, spare your life!"
The patrol soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy.
Princess Xing waved her hand and said, "Commander Luo, let them go, this palace doesn't look like they are lying, but the Cold Moon Fairy is a god in the sky, no one dares to blaspheme, it should be that some passers-by are thirsty, and they can't help but go to the statue to drink saliva, we don't need to make a fuss, let's drive back to the palace." ”
"Your Highness, this ...... Be! Let them go! The cavalry commander hesitated, but still followed Princess Star's instructions and let go of the soldiers.
The soldiers thanked them, picked up their spears, and dispersed.
The people who watched the excitement exclaimed: "It is rumored that Her Royal Highness Princess Xing is kind-hearted, and now she really lives up to her reputation when she sees it!" ”
"Needless to say? Princess Xing, she has also proposed to His Majesty Emperor Xuan many times to reduce taxes, so how much less burden has on us. ”
"Star Princess Chitose!"
Many people saw her off.
Ye Yun was silent, although this star princess was young, her demeanor and demeanor far exceeded that of ordinary women, and she won the hearts of the people, fortunately she was not a man, otherwise the Cold Moon Empire inherited by her would definitely be solid.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Princess Xing sat back on Fengluan and prepared to take off, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
More than a dozen black shadows jumped out of the crowd, the sword light in their hands flashed, and they killed Xiangluan.
"Protect the princess!"
As the royal guards, the Xuanjia cavalry was not slow to react, and only in an instant, they protected Xiangluan in the middle, raised their weapons and fought against the comers.
The martial arts of this group of assassins were surprisingly high, Ye Yun calculated according to the rank stratification that Lin You said, each of them could emit a slight sword qi, and they were actually masters at the second order of the Great Completion; And the Star Princess's Xuanjia cavalry is not simple, everyone's level is above the second order, and for a while, the sword light and sword shadow on the Moon Square frightened the ordinary people to flee one after another.
"Cast the Shadow!" A man in black let out a low shout, and more than a dozen men in black let out a green poisonous mist.
"Don't breathe gas!" Luo Xuan, the commander of the cavalry, hurriedly drank the order, but unfortunately it was still a little late, and more than a dozen Xuanjia cavalry inhaled the poisonous gas and fainted to the ground.
"Kill!" The man in black rushed forward and slashed half of the swords of the scrambling Xuanjia cavalry.
Ye Yun stood downwind, the poisonous mist quickly blew over, Ye Yun hurriedly shielded his breath and prepared to leave, who expected that a man in black noticed him and raised his sword and stabbed over.
The sword is fierce and fierce, and the stabbing is critical, if you don't have ten or eight years of killing experience, you will never be able to stab such a sword.
"Damn!" Ye Yun scolded, lowered his head and flashed the sword, and his right palm slashed down along the back of the sword, knocking the man in black with the sword to the ground.
But that person was really strong, his right hand was hit by Ye Yun's palm and the tiger's mouth cracked, and the blood flowed, but he could immediately jump up and kick it, and at the same time, his left hand also shot out a hidden weapon.
Although Ye Yun flashed his violent kick, he was shot in the arm by a hidden weapon, he only felt that his arm was numb, and the fist that originally hit the opponent softened.
The man in black sneered twice, stepped forward, raised his sword and stabbed Ye Yun in the throat.
Ye Yun didn't care about it so much, he rolled on the spot continuously to avoid several fatal swords, jumped up and pulled out the hidden weapon, and black blood flowed out immediately.
Just as he was trying to make the poison by luck, he found that the black qi of the blood slowly faded, the blood turned back to pure red, and the wound was no longer numb.
Although he was a little strange, he couldn't think much about the urgency of the situation at the moment, so he used his true qi to beat the man in black **, beat him down, and snatched his sword away by the way.
Looking down, I felt that this slender sword was somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it again, I suddenly remembered that the killer who attacked me in the demolition area of Beicheng that day used this kind of thin silver sword, and even the hidden weapon was that kind of fine iron thorn!
Lin You said that the killer was not invited by her, so this matter became a mystery in Ye Yun's heart, and now that he sees this kind of killer again, how can Ye Yun let it go easily?
At that moment, he grabbed the thin silver sword and slashed at the black-clothed killer.
Under the attack of the poisonous mist, most of the Xuanjia cavalry were crumbling, almost being killed, and the black-clothed killers did not expect to kill a blue-clothed young man halfway, not only with strange swordsmanship and superb skills, but also not too afraid of the poisonous mist, and was disrupted for a while.
Princess Xing lifted the curtain and ordered, "Commander Luo, protect the main palace to the upper hand of the Cold Moon Fairy statue!" ”
"Huh? Be! Luo Xuan is not a stupid person, he understood at once, he struggled to swing away a few thin silver swords that had been stabbed, and several Xuanjia cavalry with high martial arts cultivation protected Leng Xing and moved to the upper hand.
A loud noise sounded in the distance, and nearby officers and soldiers rushed over.
The remaining killers saw that the situation was not right, and quickly retreated under the command of the man in black, who took the lead.
"Run there!"
Ye Yun roared wildly, and the man shot towards the man in black who took the lead like a dragon in fire, and the man in black returned his sword to resist, but he felt as if he was stabbing towards a flame. He didn't imagine that the world had such a terrifying sword technique, but he was also really powerful, and in an instant, he turned over more than a dozen heels, avoiding the edge of the fire dragon's wrath.
Even so, his black clothes were stabbed to pieces by Ye Yun, and pieces of rags and a picture scroll floated down with the wind.
The black-clothed killer didn't dare to stay, and fled barebacked.
Ye Yun took the lead and picked up the scroll.
In the picture scroll is a woman, this woman has long hair fluttering, bright eyes and red lips, it is Lin You!
There was also a line of small characters on the paper, Ye Yun vaguely remembered that this handwriting was similar to the handwriting on his portrait that day, and it should have been written by the same person.
As he pondered, a soft scent came from behind.
"Childe's swordsmanship is outstanding, I don't know what to call it?"
Ye Yun turned around and looked, only to see Princess Xing standing in front of her, her soft words were not shi, but also made people feel extremely comfortable.
Although Ye Yun was unhappy that she was the queen of the cold moon, she was a princess, and she was already a grass people, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she replied honestly at the moment: "Ye Yun of the grass people in Beicheng has seen Her Royal Highness the princess. ”
Princess Xing said: "Ye Gongzi is exempt. Ye Gongzi was brave and resisted the assassins, so that the palace could get out of danger, and the palace will definitely be rewarded. ”
Ye Yun said in his heart, if it weren't for those bastards who killed him, who would have time to save you.
But of course, he couldn't say that in his mouth, he said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is benevolent and benevolent, and all the people admire her, how can the grass people stand by and watch when they see Her Royal Highness in danger?" ”
Princess Xing smiled slightly, her eyes fell on the scroll in his hand, and said, "Ye Gongzi is too famous." The painting held by Ye Gongzi seems to be left by the killer, I don't know if I can give this palace a glance? ”
Ye Yun handed it over.
Luo Xuan, the commander of the cavalry, took it first, carefully checked that there were no flammable and explosive dangerous goods, and then handed it to Princess Xing.
Princess Xing unfolded it with a smile, and saw that although the painting scroll was a few brushstrokes, it outlined the face of a beautiful woman, and couldn't help but nod and praise: "The author of this painting has superb painting skills, and he is not under Master Xu." If this girl is really a person, she can also be called a heavenly beauty. ”
Ye Yun hesitated for a moment, but still asked in a loud voice: "Your Highness, please forgive the grass people for being bold, can you ask Your Highness a question?" ”
Princess Xing was slightly stunned, glanced at the blue-clothed young man in front of her, nodded, and said, "Ask." ”
Ye Yun asked, "May I ask Your Highness, there seems to be words on the picture scroll, I don't know what is written?" ”
Princess Xing glanced at him in surprise again, and said: "It is written in the Xilai Fengyi character room, seeing that the son is good at talking and understanding etiquette, but he can't read words, and the son needs to study hard in the future." After teaching Ye Yun a lesson, she turned around and asked, "Commander Luo, the Xilai Wind Post is a place used by Yuecheng to entertain local officials, right?" ”
Luo Xuan hurriedly responded: "Her Royal Highness the princess is so knowledgeable, she even knows such a small place. The Xilai Wind Post is used to receive local officials in small and medium-sized towns, and according to the guesses of his subordinates, the woman in the picture scroll should be the killer's lover, and she is hiding in the Xilai Wind Station. Your Highness, your subordinates will immediately send people to surround Xilai Fengyi, if there is really this woman, your subordinates will never let her escape! ”
Hearing Luo Xuan's brainless words, Ye Yun snickered in his heart, Lin You, you are a dead woman, you are in trouble now.
Princess Xing shook her head and said, "Commander Luo, this palace heard that there is an illegal killer organization in my Cold Moon Empire, called the Killer Alliance, and its modus operandi likes to depict the portrait of the target person, and write the path that the target person must pass through or where he lives, and then commit murder. If you are not mistaken, the killer who stabbed the palace just now, there must be a portrait of the palace, Commander Luo, now that my father's birthday is approaching, the Xilai Fengyi is where the officials from all over the country come to celebrate my father's birthday, maybe the things they brought were taken by the killer league, and then committed murder, you quickly send a few capable cavalry to the Xilai Fengyi, find this woman, and bring her to see the palace, remember to treat each other with courtesy. ”
"Yes."
Ye Yun didn't dare to underestimate this girl who was less than eighteen years old, he was still a little depressed in his heart, the girl in black, Lin You, Ruoshui, the fairy who forgot to worry about it, and now Leng Xing......
God, are all the women of the Cold Moon Empire so powerful?
