Different from the other nine factions in the ten factions of Tianhe, the helm of the Red Sleeve Twelve Villages is located in the Yandu of the capital of Xiao State, and Qin Hongye, the leader of the Red Sleeve Twelve Villages, made his fortune here, gradually formed a scale, and established the Twelve Lianzhuang, occupying a place in the Ten Sects of Tianhe.

Because Qin Hongye is a woman, most of the disciples in the Red Sleeve Village are women, and they mainly rely on operating teahouses, silk houses, and embroidery workshops to maintain expenses. Qin Hongye is shrewd and proficient in the way of business, this red sleeve village is also quite famous in Xiao Guo, and her disciples are not only proficient in their own martial arts, but also have a good cultivation of business scriptures.

Qin Hongye has accepted a total of thirteen disciples in her life, the youngest is Lin Qi, and the remaining twelve take care of the twelve red-sleeved villages located all over the country for her.

Following Lu Yueniang was Qin Hongye's fourth apprentice, named Tan Yuliu, this woman was quick-minded and intelligent, and she was deeply favored by Qin Hongye. Since Qin Hongye herself is not currently in Yandu, he sent her to be the steward of the Red Sleeve Village, responsible for taking care of the affairs of the capital.

The youngest Lin Qi was brought by Qin Hongye when she was staying in Luoyingzhuang, and entrusted her eldest disciple Lu Yueniang to take care of it. Since Lin Qi was not familiar with Yandu, when she came to the largest city in Xiao Country this time, she suddenly became curious, and forgot all the thrills along the way, and after staying in Red Sleeves Village for a few days, she couldn't bear it anymore and urged the two of them to accompany her out for a walk.

Although Tan Yuliu was worried about the safety of the rest of the Zhuang sisters who came here, she also liked this innocent and lovely little sister very much, so she couldn't help her, so she accompanied her out of the Red Sleeve Village with the helpless Lu Yueniang.

As soon as Linqi's little girl came out of the red-sleeved village, she immediately broke left and right, and drilled into rare places. caused Lu Yueniang to follow closely behind, calling loudly from time to time. There was fear and worry in his eyes. Only Tan Yuliulian moved lightly, following behind unhurriedly. She is too familiar with this Yandu, no matter where this little girl runs, she can't get out of her sight.

Lin Qi made a fuss for a while, and unconsciously came to Changting Street near the Red Sleeve Village. I didn't expect to meet Ye Zitong and the three here.

When the old people met, Lin Qi was so happy that she grabbed Duanmu Bing and kept talking. Lu Yueniang took advantage of this opportunity to introduce Tan Yuliu and Ye Zitong.

"Senior Sister Lu has already told me about the three of you, if it weren't for a few righteous actions, my senior sister and sister Linqi would not be able to reach here safely. The great kindness of several people, Tan Yuliu is here to thank you. The young woman was grateful and gave Ye Zitong a gentle blessing to the three of them.

Seeing the other party saluting, Ye Zitong seemed very at ease, while Duanmu Bing was indifferent. Only the face is slightly red.

Tan Yuliu didn't care about the three people: "The three of them came to Yandu for the first time, I don't know if there is a place to live, although our Red Sleeve Village is simple, but if a few people don't dislike it, Tan Yuliu is willing to do her best for the senior sister to do the friendship of the landlord." ”

Ye Zitong saw that she said politely, and thought that the three of them really had nowhere to go, so he smiled slightly: "Then it's disrespectful." ”

Tan Yuliu saw that Duanmu Bing and Duanmu Bing had good temperament and outstanding appearance, but it was Ye Zitong who was short in stature and wrapped in a windbreaker who came out to speak. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his face remained silent: "Three of you are willing to go, that's great." Red Sleeves Village is not far from here, so it is better to move over now and take a rest. ”

"Let's go now, I haven't had enough of it." Seeing that everyone was going back, Lin Qi, who was not yet happy, did not follow.

"Lynki, the three benefactors have worked hard all the way. I haven't had a good rest. Lu Yueniang saw that Linqi was noisy, and her face sank slightly.

"Wouldn't it be okay to go back for another walk?" Lin Qi was not happy to see the senior sister. The voice suddenly became much quieter.

"It's okay, we just arrived in Yandu. I just want to take a look around. Ye Zitong looked at Linqi with a pitiful look and smiled lightly.

"That's right." Seeing Ye Zitong speak, Lu Yueniang hesitated slightly, and Tan Yuliu on the side said, "Since the three of you are interested, it is better for me to take you to a place." ”

"Yes, yes." Linqi's eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted: "What kind of place, is it fun, sister, take us there!" ”

※※※

Weishui Winter Bridge, a seven-arched stone bridge with a length of about 100 meters, spans the murmuring Wei River with clear water, dividing the capital of Xiao into north and south. On both sides of the stone bridge, there are loft shops standing along the river and lined streets.

Weishui is an inland river flowing in Yandu and is one of the main water sources of the city. Now on the river next to Weishui, there are already people moving and clothes surging.

In a delicate and small attic near Weiqiao, a group of people sat by the window, watching the lively scene.

During the banquet, a little girl in red tilted her head and asked another woman with a beautiful face and a plain blue face, "Senior Sister Yuliu, where are we now?" “

The woman was Tan Yuliu, who led Ye Zitong and the others here, but she smiled and said, "We are in the center of the Six Mansions, the most prosperous place in Yandu. ”

"Why are there so many people here, what did Senior Sister bring us here for?" Lin Qi looked puzzled, she had been sitting here for a long time, but she couldn't bear the loneliness.

Tan Yuliu smiled but didn't answer: "You'll know later." ”

At this time, the night had fallen, and Tan Yuliu suddenly pointed forward: "It's coming." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at the sky, but they noticed that some small points of light were moving upwards. These points of light flickered on and off, in different colors, constantly floating in people's sight, slowly flying upward.

At first, everyone didn't think about it, but later they found that these light points gathered more and more, and finally they were like a tide, flying high in the sky one by one, and soon covering the entire sky. In the gradually darkening night sky, the colors of the light spots in the air gradually brightened, as if competing for beauty, flashing with colorful light, rendering the swallow capital extremely magnificent.

What is it? Ye Zitong was very curious in his heart, and Lin Qi was also clapping her little hands on the side, looking at the sky and shouting. On the other hand, Tan Yuliu and the others looked as usual, standing in place and watching quietly, as if they did not feel strange about this scene.

"Senior Sister Yuliu, what are those, so beautiful!" Lynki's eyes lit up and she exclaimed as she looked at the sky.

Tan Yuliu smiled: "About ten years ago, a kind of flying insect suddenly appeared around Yandu, they can glow at night, and they have a variety of colors. Therefore, it is called a colorful insect. On the seventeenth day of winter, they gather in the sky and shine their brightest light in the evening. ”

After hearing this, Lin Qi's eyes were even more confused: "It's amazing, senior sister." Why did they take to the skies on this day? ”

Tan Yuliu shook his head: "I don't know about this, there are many wonderful things in this world, which we can't explain, maybe it's a ritual between these little lives." ”

At this time, the night sky is brighter and brighter, and many tourists from other places in addition to the locals are screaming.

Tan Yuliu smiled: "If it weren't for the fact that we have an industry next to this Weishui Bridge. I'm afraid I can't find such a good viewing spot, and at this time, I don't know how many people will come here. ”

"It turns out that this house belongs to our Red Sleeve Village, no wonder the people in the building are respectful when they see the senior sister." Lynkey looked at the crowd outside the window, looking a little surprised.

Tan Yuliu nodded. He added: "By the early morning of the next day, these flying insects will die at the same time, and on this day of the next year, their descendants will reunite in the sky above Yandu and continue their brilliant light." Therefore, the lifespan of these colorful insects is only one year. ”

A hint of gloom appeared on Linqi's elated face just now: "It turns out that they can only live for such a short time, it's really pitiful." ”

Tan Yuliu stroked Linqi's head: "Although the life of these colorful insects is short, they can be at the last moment of their lives. Bloom the most beautiful brilliance of your life. But most of us human beings die in the mediocrity of inaction, and we will live our whole lives. There is nothing to be proud of either. One day, I'd rather die in the glory of these flying insects. ”

After listening to Tan Yuliu's words, everyone raised their heads to stare at the scene in the air, but there was infinite emotion in their chests, and all kinds of ** heads swelled up. At this time, the sky is blooming with the brightest brilliance of the night. Even Duanmu Bing was fascinated.

The night breeze is bleak, and the moonlight is like water. Ye Zitong stood on a hill on the outskirts of the city, feeling the moment of tranquility when the earth sank into darkness.

As the night deepens. The bright moon in the sky gradually brightened, and a cold breath overflowed from Ye Zitong's body, slowly lingering in the sky above her. Ye Zitong's eyes opened slightly, and he gently waved his arms, and his fingertips scratched several micro-marks in the air, making a snorting sound.

Seeing that the trace gradually disappeared, Ye Zitong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his slender fingers swiped continuously, pointing to the wind, setting off bursts of ripples in the air. As she moved faster and faster, the ripples around her became more and more abundant, and layers of air rolled out, faintly whistling in the wind.

Ye Zitong's posture was flying at this time, his long black hair was moving in the wind, and his beautiful face was like an empty mountain spiritual rain, looking at it from a distance, he only thought that it was a fairy in the moon descending to earth, which made people give birth to indescribable transcendent beauty.

A clear groan sounded, and the sound of the wind above the seemingly calm hills suddenly accelerated, and the whirlwind pulled up from the flat ground danced in all directions, stirring up the sand and gravel all over the ground.

Ye Zitong was in mid-air at this time, his beautiful eyes flashed with a faint blue light, like a cold moonlight, exuding a faint murderous aura.

Ye Zitong sighed lightly, and a cold aura quickly spread all around, making the heaven and earth instantly full of murderous intent. But this killing intent only lasted for a moment, and then it retreated like a falling tide, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the killing intent retreated, Ye Zitong slowly fell from the air, and his eyes full of evil intent became clear and pure again, as tranquil and distant as before. But beneath the layers of turf from the mound beneath her feet, many of the bare rocks were covered with shocking scratches, like knives and axes, about half an inch deep.

Ye Zitong looked at the scars all over the ground, and sighed faintly: "I can barely cast the sixth trick remnant flowers, no matter how bad it is, I have the power to protect myself." ”

After staying in the Red Sleeve Village, Ye Zitong was not sleepy, so he came to the outskirts of Yandu at night, looking for a place to try out the martial arts experience he had been thinking about for days. Since that day, after absorbing the essence of light again, her breath has become much more abundant, and after a few efforts, it really blessed her soul, and she fused the sixth trick in the Red Peerless Technique with the Yuehua Proud Ice Technique, and got a small surprise.
