Qingyun Mountain, on Tongtian Peak. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bang", a crisp sound, came out of the quiet room behind the Yuqing Palace, which was particularly harsh in this quiet courtyard building. Dao Tong Qingfeng, who was cleaning outside, was startled, and hurriedly ran to the door of the quiet room, only to see that the door was open, and there was a person sitting at the table in the room, it was Dao Xuan.

On the ground in front of Dao Xuan, a teacup was broken, and there was a pile of water stains on the ground, which looked like it had accidentally fallen and broken. And Dao Xuan's expression seemed to be a little strange, with his Taoism, it seemed that this kind of thing would not happen under any circumstances, but at this moment, he was stunned, as if he was a little unrelenting.

Qing Feng hesitated for a moment, knocked on the door with his hand, and then spoke, "Senior Brother Daoxuan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Dao Xuan's body shook, as if he had not suddenly come back to his senses until this moment, glanced back, and said after an "oh" sound: "It's nothing." ”

Qingfeng didn't dare to ask more, so he only said, "Then I'll come in and clean up?" ”

Dao Xuan glanced at the broken teacup at his feet, a wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth, then sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, you come and sweep it, it's tired." ”

Qing Feng said "yes", then took the broom and dustpan, came in and walked to Dao Xuan's side, and carefully cleaned the ground. Dao Xuan watched Qing Feng's movements, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "Qing Feng, do you have a good relationship with Bai Shi?" ”

Qingfeng nodded and said, "Yes." Senior Brother Baishi and I entered the Qingyun Gate together, and then we almost went to this Yuqing Hall to do things together, and it has been several years. ”

Then he secretly glanced at Dao Xuan and asked cautiously, "Senior brother, haven't you found Baishi yet?" ”

Dao Xuan nodded slowly and said, "I haven't found it yet, and I don't know where he will go?" ”

Qing Feng was a little nervous, but he still mustered up the courage and said, "Senior brother, I think Bai Shi must still be on this Tongtian Peak." ”

Dao Xuan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said, "How do you know?" ”

Qingfeng lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Senior brother, he is an orphan and has nowhere to go." When he was with me in the past, he often told me that Qingyunmen was his home, and the luckiest thing in his life was that he was fortunate enough to come to Qingyun Immortal Mountain, and in the future, he would stay in Qingyun for the rest of his life. ”

Dao Xuan was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I know." He paused as he spoke, then added, "You and Shiraishi are both good boys. ”

Qing Feng had already cleaned up the debris on the ground at this time, packed up his things and was about to walk out of the quiet room, but when he walked to the door, he couldn't help but turn back to Dao Xuan and said, "Senior brother, can I ask you for one thing?" ”

Dao Xuan was slightly surprised, looked at him and said, "What's the matter?" You said. ”

Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Senior brother, Baishi is timid, but he is absolutely desperate for our Qingyunmen. I don't know why he didn't come out for a few days, maybe he might have done something wrong and hid out of fear. But no matter what mistake he committed, if you find him, it doesn't matter how you punish him, yes, yes...... Don't drive him out of Qingyun, then he really can't stand it and won't be able to live. ”

Dao Xuan's face was slightly moved, and then he sat up a little straighter, looked at Qing Feng, and for the first time showed a bit of solemnity on his face, and said, "Don't worry, I know." After thinking about it, he said again, "You don't have to think too much, whether Bai Shi made a mistake or did something wrong, we don't know yet, let's talk about it when we find him, maybe it'll be okay at all." ”

Qingfeng didn't look too old after all, Wen Yan's face suddenly showed a little surprise, nodded again and again, and said a few thanks to Dao Xuanlian, and then went out.

After Qingfeng left, the quiet room was quiet again, and Dao Xuan sat alone, his expression gradually becoming indifferent. His gaze swept over the quiet room, and he looked at all the furnishings in it, tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, one by one, all of which looked like lifeless dead things.

Not long ago, there was still an owner in this quiet room, and after being injured, Tianchengzi, the head of Qingyunmen, was recuperating in this quiet room, and then after a while, he suddenly moved to the more secluded ancestral hall of the ancestor in the back mountain.

Dao Xuan sat in the quiet room for a while, his eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he suddenly got up and walked out of the quiet room, and then walked in the direction of the mountain behind Tongtian Peak.

The passage of the mountain behind Tongtian Peak is opened up between the mountains and forests, the forests on both sides are verdant, the ancient trees are forested, the old vines can be seen falling from time to time, and the birdsong can be heard again, and the mist and breeze that often flutter in the mountains look like a fairyland.

Dao Xuan walked on the mountain road and slowly walked in the direction of the ancestral hall, but compared to usual, this time he walked very slowly, and his eyes were solemn along the way, constantly looking at the trees and grass on both sides of the mountain road, as if he was searching for something.

The mountains and forests were quiet and verdant, and the mountain wind blew from afar, gently stirring the Taoist robe on his body. Dao Xuan walked on the mountain road for about half an hour, and he seemed to have found nothing, which made his face look even more gloomy and solemn, but when he saw that in the distance ahead, the stone tablet engraved with the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion at the three-way intersection was already faintly visible, for some reason, Dao Xuan still breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had finally let go of a stone in his heart, and the whole person was a little more relaxed.

It's just that at this moment, suddenly the corner of his eye swept somewhere, and at that moment, Dao Xuan's gaze suddenly froze, and his face instantly tensed. He stood still, no longer advancing or retreating, as if in that moment of lightning, he seemed to have a hint of hesitation, and as if he had the urge to turn around and leave.

After a while, Dao Xuan slowly turned around and walked slowly towards the grass under the trees somewhere on the side of the mountain road.

It was a clump of weeds between two large trees, green and lovely, almost indistinguishable from the weeds found elsewhere on the mountain. When the mountain breeze blows, the grass swayes slightly, revealing a small wildflower in the grass.

The flowers are not big or small, with four petals, and they are very white and beautiful. It was a very common and beautiful white color, three out of four petals, and then on the innermost one, there was a little more of the other color.

It was a somewhat deep brown, slightly black because it had dried up, and it was a somewhat odd contrast to the other three petals. Dao Xuan slowly squatted down, his eyes staring at this petal, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes seemed to twitch slightly. After a while, he reached out and plucked the petal, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently.

A faint smell of blood came from the petals.
