After dinner.

In the living room, Gong Xingyun sat on the sofa blankly, while Mu Yue and Mengzhu were busy cleaning dishes in the kitchen.

Originally, according to the previous practice, Mengzhu, who was busy with things after dinner, would return to his house next door if he had nothing to do. This situation has been going on for many years, so Mengzhu's parents are not surprised, but today, because of the appearance of Gong Xingyun, Mengzhu did not return to his home at the first time.

"So, Xingyun, do you need us to send you back to the [Chongdao Palace] Jiangdu Branch?"

Although he didn't think that Gong Xingyun, who was a first-level Dao monarch, needed to help him with this little favor, Mu Yue still asked out loud out of politeness.

Meng Zhu, who was sitting next to him, looked at Gong Xingyun with bright eyes, and his face was full of emotion.

Mu Yue couldn't help but sigh when she looked at Mengzhu's expression.

He knows this girl too well, and he wants to mix in anything new when he sees it, and this time he definitely hopes to go to the branch of [Chongdao Palace] to play by sending Gong Xingyun back.

"No, no......!"

Subconsciously, Gong Xingyun lowered the cap on his head a few points and rejected Mu Yue in a low voice.

It's just that at an angle that Mu Yue and Mengzhu can't see, Gong Xingyun's little face is full of confusion.

【…… Wow, it's over! I don't know the way to the branch...... Gong Xingyun, why do you stupid refuse their help! 】

Because he tried hard to maintain his majesty, he subconsciously opened his mouth and refused Mu Yue's help, Gong Xingyun immediately overturned the coffee table in his heart.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing that Gong Xingyun seemed to be a little unusual, Mu Yue spoke again.

"That...... That one...... Do you have a map at home? ”

Map?

A series of question marks appeared on Mu Yue and Mengzhu's heads at the same time.

【…… This kid ...... Don't you know the way? 】

Cold sweat was dripping down Mu Yue's head.

"Dream Bamboo."

"Uh-huh? What's going on? ”

"I think it's better for us to send Xingyun to the Chongdao Palace branch."

"Really? That's great! Can we go there and play? ”

"I'm not going to play, hey!"

“…… Hey, why not? ”

Opposite the noisy Mu Yue and Mengzhu, Gong Xingyun's little face was wrinkled.

“…… That, the map? ”

"Are you sure you only need a map?"

Mu Yue looked at Gong Xingyun suspiciously, and always felt that the Dao Jun in front of him was very unreliable.

Gong Xingyun nodded very firmly.

Mu Yue thought about it, took out the mobile phone in his pocket and called up the electronic map, searched for the address of the [Chongdao Palace] Jiangdu branch and handed it to the other party.

"Hey, hey!?"

Hurriedly taking the mobile phone handed over by Mu Yue, Gong Xingyun's face turned a little blue.

He just broke the mouth of the old-fashioned mobile phone that Master gave him!

Gong Xingyun, who was cautious, as if holding some treasure, looked down at the screen in his hand.

Gong Xingyun: "What's going on?" Why can't I read it? ”

Mu Yue: "............ You take it down. ”

"I, I, I, I, of course I know! Hum! ”

Gong Xingyun blushed and turned the phone upside down in a panic, and then-

Still can't read it.

It's not that I can't read, but even if I can't read.

He knew the address of the [Chongdao Palace] Jiangdu branch through the map, but he didn't know where he was now, so he was still confused about how to get there.

The cold sweat on Gong Xingyun's forehead became denser and denser, and Mu Yue and Mengzhu on the other side felt anxious for him.

"Forget it, we'll send you there tomorrow."

Mu Yue finally rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"Huh?"

Gong Xingyun raised his head and looked at Mu Yue with a surprised expression.

"Send me, send me over?"

"Any questions?"

Gong Xingyun immediately shook his head.

“…… Well, since you plead sincerely, I, I, I will reluctantly accept it! ”

- Your tsundere smell has drifted to Stalingrad, you know?

"Then, it's not too early now, so I'll grieve you to stay with us for one night tonight."

In the face of Mu Yue's kindness, Gong Xingyun did not refuse this time.

After a pause, he stretched out his little hand and pulled down the hat on his head, Gong Xingyun lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you, thank you......"

◇

Mengzhu has gone home

There are many guest rooms in Mu Yue's house, and there is no problem in arranging one for Gong Xingyun.

At night, Gong Xingyun, who was lying on the bed, looked at the unfamiliar room, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

The curtains were not drawn, and the bright moonlight shone through the windows into the room.

Still wearing daytime clothes, Gong Xingyun sat up from the bed.

“…… Hey, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to go far away. ”

Gong Xingyun looked at the clothes on his body in distress.

He just took the plane ticket and the old-fashioned mobile phone from the master and ran to Jiangdu, and he didn't even bring his wallet, so naturally it was impossible to bring clothes.

Gong Xingyun, who didn't have a change of clothes and didn't even prepare pajamas, could only wear daytime clothes after taking a shower.

Sitting on the bed facing the window, with his hands on his knees, Gong Xingyun raised his head and looked at the night sky outside in a daze.

The moon hangs high and the stars shine.

The clock hanging on the wall of the room made a ticking sound, and Gong Xingyun glanced at it.

3:15 a.m.

“…… It's a magic time. ”

When there are demons, it is the time when ghosts and gods are most likely to haunt.

Indoors, it's at 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., and outdoors, it's twilight (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) and dawn (3 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Raising his right hand, the palm of his hand emitted a faint glow.

Then, the ancient long sword that had appeared before appeared in the void again, floating horizontally in front of Gong Xingyun.

The sword body is engraved with twenty-eight nights, the text has a back, the face is the stars, and the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon are remembered.

"Emperor ......"

The name of the sword was softly called.

Emperor Qi Sword, according to legend, is a bronze sword cast in the eighth year of Emperor Qi Gengxu of Xia Yuzi.

The sword is three feet nine inches long.

The Emperor Qi Sword has always been one of the treasures in the secret collection of the [Chongdao Palace], because it has the best compatibility with the palace and the clouds, so it was obtained by him.

With Gong Xingyun's soft shout, Emperor Qijian let out a clear sound.

"Huh......?"

Gong Xingyun suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, his silver pupils were full of solemn expressions.

"The stars move Beidou, and Tiangang is not visible...... Do you say!? ”

Jumping up from the bed, Gong Xingyun opened the bedroom window.

The whistling evening breeze blew in, raising Gong Xingyun's silver hair.

“…… Hiss, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold! ”

Trembling, Gong Xingyun retracted back on the bed, picked up the satchel on the bedside table and put it on his shoulder, and then took out a talisman from it.

The talisman exploded in the fiery red light, and a red halo appeared on the surface of Gong Xingyun's body.

"It's warmer now......"

Setting up the Emperor Qi Sword, Gong Xingyun jumped onto the windowsill.

Glancing back at the bedroom, thinking of Mu Yue and Mengzhu, Gong Xingyun murmured in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

After speaking, the petite body jumped out from the windowsill, and the Emperor Qi Sword bloomed with a rich sword light, wrapping Gong Xingyun's body and slowly falling to the ground.

Locking on the direction of the aura that made Gong Xingyun feel uneasy, the doll-like cute Daojun began to run on the streets that were deserted at night.
