Chapter 10: Seven Stars Floating Nine Towers

Late at night, in a delicate attic on Qiqi Avenue, more than a dozen children dressed in gorgeous crowns and beautiful clothes smacked their lips around a table of delicacies and delicacies, and in a corner of the dark pavilion, a gentle and elegant man in white stood holding a window, and a girl in black stood respectfully beside him, the girl's face was covered by a silver cover, and the eyes of the man in white were full of tenderness.

It is a famous red willow resort in Pingcheng, many rich sons love to come here to have fun, and this night pavilion is a rare quiet place here.

"How's things going?"

"Hui Gongzi, Miss has been fine lately, but..."

"Just what?" The white-clothed man's eyes trembled, and his tone was a little uncertain, just at this moment.

"Zhang... Zhang Gongzi, it's not good!" suddenly came a hurried sound from below the attic, followed by the sound of small footsteps.

"Who! yelling down there!" The crowd at the table looked down, only to see two sons staggering up from outside the Night Whispering Pavilion, holding on to the wall for a while.

"Yo, isn't this Brother Luo and Brother Yuwen, why are you so flustered?" a short and fat man at the wine table stepped forward and said enthusiastically.

"Zhang... What about Zhang Gongzi?" Luo He was out of breath and hurriedly asked.

"Inside, you two areβ€”" Before he could finish speaking, the two of them ran towards the Dark Pavilion.

"Why are you so flustered?" the man in white closed his feather fan and turned to look at the two.

I saw that the eyes of this white-clothed man were like glass, his face was like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color was like the flower of spring dawn, his temples were like a knife, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, and his face was like a cold color.

"Zhang Gongzi, I... I..."

"I'll tell you. Seeing Luo He's stammer, Yuwen Tuo stepped forward and said:

"Zhang Gongzi, today at noon, Brother Luo and I went to Yixiang Pavilion to taste tea, but I didn't expect to see Miss Yan walking with a strange young man, and the two of us followed all the way, who knew that the kid actually went to the Prison Tomb Mansion with Miss Yan, and he hasn't come out yet!"

"Huh, is there such a thing?" Zhang Gongzi frowned.

"It's true, Zhang Gongzi!" Luo He hurriedly echoed, finally coming back to his senses.

"What's the origin of that kid?"

"I saw that the kid was shabby, as if he was asking for food, and I don't know how Miss Yan could be with that kind of person. ”

"Well, from now on, you have to pay more attention, go down!"

"Yes!"

Luo Heyu and Wentuo waved their hands at Zhang Gongzi and retreated.

"What you want to say just now is this for this?" Zhang Gongzi looked at the girl with a pair of ice eyes.

"Yes. "I have followed Zhang Gongzi for so long, and it is the first time I have seen his gaze so cold.

"Tomorrow is the day to go back to church?"

"Do you want to..."The girl in black seemed to understand something, but as soon as Zhang Gongzi raised her eyebrows, the girl closed her mouth tightly.

"Stand down, too. ”

Zhang Gongzi turned around, staring at the bright moon with his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

Early the next morning, Mo Lanjiong was awakened by a few slight knocks on the door.

"Wake up... Are you awake?" said Yan Xue'er quietly outside the door.

"Damn, what's the situation?" The sky was gray, but Yan Xue'er's voice came from outside the window, Mo Lanjiong frowned, and then immediately packed up his clothes and opened the door.

Yan Xue'er was wearing a pale yellow silk skirt, a wolf tooth necklace around her neck, and a wooden box in her hand, looking petite and cute.

Seeing Mo Lanjiong, Yan Xue'er smiled calmly: "I'm going back to study today, that's why I'm bothering you so early!"

"Oh, that's it!" Thinking of Yan Dianyu's words last night, Mo Lanjiong smiled and touched the back of his head, very embarrassed, and even forgot about it after sleeping.

"This is the clothes for you, it should fit, put it on!"

"Uh... This..."Mo Lanjiong was very embarrassed.

"I don't want my guards to go out like this!" Yan Xue'er pointed to the old blackened ragged clothes on Mo Lanjiong's body, and said so, but she still secretly glanced at Mo Lanjiong, and saw that he didn't seem to be at ease, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Lanjiong looked down at a shabby cloth robe, blushed a little for a while, took the wooden box and closed the door.

Opening the box, a snow-white cotton silk coat was revealed, with a faint fragrance, the clothes were not picky for Mo Lanjiong, and he hurriedly put it on, but he didn't expect it to fit so well.

After a while, Mo Lanjiong walked out wearing one, Yan Xue'er's eyes trembled suddenly, at this moment, Mo Lanjiong was dressed in white and had black hair, and her clothes and hair were fluttering in the breeze, not tied or tied, slightly fluttering, lining the tall figure, like an immortal monarch descending into the world. His skin was faintly shiny and flowing, and his eyes shimmered with the deep light of the stars.

Oh my God! Yan Xue'er didn't expect Mo Lanjiong to be so jade in the wind at this moment! The little face like ice jade suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly turned her gaze away and looked away.

"What's wrong?" Mo Lanjiong saw that her expression was a little unnatural, thinking that this dress was not suitable for her, and hurriedly prepared to change it back:

"Then you wait a minute, I'll be soon!" After speaking, Mo Lanjiong prepared to close the door.

"Oh no! Actually... It's good!" Yan Xue'er said coquettishly, thinking that Mo Lanjiong is really a big elm head, and she can't even see it!

"Let's go, there is porridge made by the chef in the dining room, and we will go to the school after drinking." ”

"Okay then!" Mo Lanjiong scratched her head, looking at Yan Xue'er's ruddy fairy face, not knowing what she was thinking.

After drinking the porridge, Mo Lanjiong followed Yan Xue'er to the school. Pingcheng's Hushan School is very famous, and it can be ranked in the entire Tianhua Prefecture and even in the hot summer, and the students in the house are all children of families in various places, and their status is extremely noble.

There are a total of 32 schools in the Hushan Academy, the most famous of which is the Si Zhen School that specializes in spiritual martial arts, only the young talents with extraordinary talent and outstanding martial arts are eligible to enter, and there are countless people who hide the dragon and crouching tiger in the Si Zhen School in the past dynasties, and there are countless people who cross the four seas. However, the most outstanding person at the moment is He Yunfei, the son of He Tianxing, the former lord of Pingcheng City, followed by Zhang Bin, the son of Zhang Fu of Juntianhua Mansion. And Yan Xue'er is already invincible in force, regardless of family background and ability, she is dwarfed by these two.

Early in the morning, there were a lot of people outside the Hushan Academy, discussing something there.

"Hey, I said Yuwen Gongzi, what you said at the wine table last night, is it true?" asked a boy with a thief-looking eyebrow on the side.

"You'll know in a while!" Yuwen Tuo looked mysterious, and then turned to look at everyone:

"Hahaha~ Don't worry, everyone, if it's true or not, you'll know in a while, and everyone will have a good show to watch!"

More and more sons came to the school, and the rumors spread ten or ten, and everyone was shocked, you must know what kind of identity Zhang Bin is, looking at the entire Pingcheng, no one dares to be angry with him.

Yan Xue'er does not say that her family background is illustrious, the face of fairy snow is also famous in Tianhua Prefecture, the light pace like a dance, and even the momentary cheek gaze, ice eyelashes and falling snow, can bring infinite charm and heroic pity to men.

Since he first met Yan Xue'er, Zhang Bin has been drunk and sleepless. His preference for Yan Xue'er has long been known, but Zhang Gongzi has a cold temperament, is not good at expressing himself, and is still making progress step by step.

After waiting for the snow, Yan Xue'er was still missing, and even Zhang Gongzi was nowhere to be found, and everyone was at a loss and puzzled.

In the end, under the reprimand of the teacher, everyone reluctantly walked into the school and went to their respective schools.

"Damn! what's going on?"

"That's it, what kind of fame are Zhang Gongzi and Yan Xue'er doing over there!"

......

In the school, the sons were full of suspicions, and they didn't understand which of the two people was going on.

......

Under the green tree in the corner of the school, there were two people standing sneakily, and they were Yan Xue'er and Mo Lanjiong, who had been watching here for a long time.

"What should I do!" Yan Xue'er said angrily at Mo Lanjiong, and Xian Xue's face couldn't hide her worry.

"What the hell is going on?" Mo Lanjiong's brows furrowed, and it seemed that this matter was still related to him.

"Its... Actually, I don't blame you for this..."Yan Xue'er's heart suddenly softened, and she didn't know how to explain it.

Seeing that there was something in his words, Mo Lanjiong's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Zhang Gongzi of this Huanshan Academy is the son of Zhang Fu, the capital of Tianhua Prefecture, he was emotional to me three years ago, and he knew that I was in the Huanshan Academy, so he came here alone..."Yan Xue'er slowly squatted down, her tone uncertain.

"Then you... Did you promise him?" I don't know why, hearing these words, Mo Lanjiong's heart was blocked, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Son of the state capital of Tianhua State!!

Mo Lanjiong knows what kind of concept he has, under the whole world of the Yanxia Kingdom, the people who can control the state capital are afraid that only the people in the DPRK and the central government are the only ones, and it seems that Yan Xueer also has something unspeakable.

"Although Zhang Gongzi is out of the state capital, he is also humble and reasonable, and he has never made things difficult for me for so long. ”

The breeze blew on her face, blowing up the red dust and world, Yan Xue'er lifted a trace of her hair and walked straight towards the school, the steps that were originally like butterflies and feathers were becoming heavier at the moment.

The powder wall outside the academy is encircled, the green willows hang around, the Qingxuanmen Xiamen hangs the plaque of "Huanshan", enters the gate, the Yonglu in the courtyard is connected, the mountains and stones are embellished, there are 32 hanging flower gatehouses, and the eight-sided longitudinal hand-copying verandah. The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious.

"There are a total of thirty-two schools in Huanshan, and the school I am in runs through the whole house, in the north. There were many shadows from the gatehouse, Yan Xue'er's face was slightly lowered, and she headed northernmost, and Mo Lanjiong heard this, and quickly followed.

Layers of figures appeared in the loft of the building, and the sound of whispers came from all around.

"It's coming!"

In the corner of the pavilion, Luo He and Yuwen Tuo had already sent people to investigate here, and the moment the voice came, everyone left the couch one after another, lying on the pavilion and looking down.

"Damn, who's that kid!"

"Look at the dress... It's not like asking for food!"

......

The loft was filled with a crowd of people, from south to north, and there was a lot of noise. Now that Yan Xueer and others have come, but Zhang Gongzi has still not arrived, the old teachers are ignorant of this matter, and when they see that the students are squeezing out, they suddenly become angry.

"All come back!" The roar of the teacher came from the thirty-two hanging flower gatehouses one after another, but it was not a big deal to see the excitement! No one paid attention to it at the moment.

"Boy, where did you come from!"

Yuwen Tuo suddenly barked at Mo Lanjiong. Mo Lanjiong looked up and saw that he was a fat man with a greasy face, and he was calm in his heart, here are all children of the family, and he can't be provoked for the time being!

"Hey, I'm talking to you!I'm asking for food!" Seeing that he was unmoved, Yuwen Tuo's roar became louder, causing ridicule from all around.

"Yuwen Gongzi dare not answer when he talks to you, boy, you are tired of crooked!" Luo He said on the side, both of them thought they were Zhang Gongzi's younger brothers, and their momentum was also a little hot.

The Yan family is in charge of the affairs of the prison mausoleum, and it is also the number one in Pingcheng, and Yan Xueer is the favored person of Zhang Gongzi. Because of their identity, everyone did not dare to say more.

The discord between the two came one after another, and Mo Lanjiong clenched his teeth, and his brows finally wrinkled into a Sichuan shape.

Seeing this, Yan Xue'er grabbed Mo Lanjiong: "These are the children of the family, and this is a forbidden place, they want to use the agitation method to make you take the bait, once you do it, you will fall into a place of no return!"

"What should I do?" Mo Lanjiong held back his anger, he knew this.

"*! are still holding hands?" Yuwen Tuo scolded secretly.

Seeing that Yan Xue'er and the young man were so close, everyone upstairs was very jealous, Yan Xue'er was a well-known beauty in all directions, Zhang Gongzi even settled in Pingcheng in order to capture the heart, this kid was so arrogant.

"Let's go, it's time to listen to the hall, they won't be making a fuss for long!"

Soon, the two of them came to the Rock School.

"In the future, anyone who asks you about your identity will say that it is my squire, and the ink is as white as the night, and from then on I will call you the Night Child!"

"Night Child?" Hearing this, Mo Lanjiong grinned: "Uh... Sounds strange..."

As soon as I walked into the school, there were bursts of eyes around me for a moment, and the school focused on etiquette, so there was not much movement.

Although Mo Lanjiong had never been in contact with this occasion, he had never encountered any dangerous situation, and he was calm at the moment. Secretly looking around, he was greeted with a look of doubt and jealousy.

"Miss Yan, who is this son...?" On the stage, the old teacher stared at Mo Lanjiong and said suspiciously.

"This is the attendant my father arranged for me, you can always call him Xiaoye!"

Yan Xue'er is the most outstanding student in the Pan Academy, and her father is in a high position, and the people around Yan Xue'er, even if they are just an attendant, the old teacher naturally does not dare to slack off.

"Oh... That's right, you're welcome, find a seat and sit down!"

"Thank you!"

Mo Lanjiong didn't follow Yan Xue'er, and went straight to find a vacant seat in the corner to sit down, listening to the hypnotic voice of the old teacher, Mo Lanjiong was tormented for a while, until the bronze bell rang, and the surroundings suddenly became lively. There were more than a dozen girls around Yan Xue'er, and Mo Lanjiong also came over with a lot of young masters.

"What's the matter with you?" a small one squeezed in, gossipy on his face.

"You don't have anything to do with Miss Yan, do you!, the school is rumoring about you this morning!" asked the other in a few words.

The little one leaned into Mo Lanjiong's ear, looking like something was very important: "You just came, I'm afraid you don't know, this Miss Yan is Zhang Gongzi's sweetheart, you have to be careful!"

......

Fortunately, those sons in the school were still polite, and they had no intention of embarrassment, and after the hall was dispersed, Mo Lanjiong and the others walked out of the school hall and surrounded a few people.

"Night... Night boy, take care!" The little one who followed him looked at those people with some fear, glanced at Mo Lanjiong, and left quickly.

"Hey, stop!" Yuwen Tuo put the golden silk nanmu fan on Mo Lanjiong's chest, with a proud expression.

"Yuwen Tuo, what are you doing!" Yan Xue'er beside her saw it, and pushed Yuwen Tuo's fan away, her ruddy little face was full of anger.

"Yo! Isn't this Miss Yan, don't come to harm!" Yuwen Tuo put away the golden silk nanmu fan:

"Miss Yan usually looks cold, how can she stand with a beggar now? If Zhang Gongzi sees it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain!"

Looking at Yuwen Tuo's mocking look, Mo Lanjiong suddenly approached, his eyes full of anger: "Who do you say is a beggar?"

Yuwen Tuo was frightened, and hurriedly hindered his legs: "Little... The kid has a big temper!" Then he glanced at Luo He and the others on the side.

Everyone immediately blocked Mo Lanjiong, and seeing that there was no government management around, Luo He kicked at Mo Lanjiong: "Damn, I think you are tired and crooked!

Bang!

A figure flew out, but unfortunately it wasn't Mo Lanjiong.

"Brother Luo, are you okay?" Seeing this, everyone hurriedly went to help Luo He up.

"Damn..."

Looking at Mo Lanjiong, who was not moving at all, but was unscathed, Yuwen Tuo swallowed deeply and looked incredulous.

"You... You are a practitioner!" Not far away, Luo He's face turned pale, and he pointed at Mo Lanjiong with an angry expression, he never expected that a beggar would be a martial artist!

"It doesn't matter who I am, you'd better get away!" Anyway, he didn't make a move, everything was caused by Yuwen Tuo and a few people, and Mo Lanjiong was not afraid of anything.

"You...!Dog offal!You wait for me!" With the support of everyone, Luo He limped away.

"Oh no!" Yan Xue'er looked worried, she never thought that such a scene would happen, although Zhang Bin is gentle and elegant on weekdays, as the top student of Si Zhen Academy, he is naturally profound, and Luo He, Yu Wentuo is his loyal little brother, this incident is mainly because of her, Zhang Bin will definitely not sit idly by.

"I know that Zhang Gongzi will come to me, don't worry, I have my own way!" Seeing that Yan Xue'er was worried about herself at the moment, Mo Lanjiong's heart trembled.

Back in the Prison Tomb, Mo Lanjiong closed the door, but Yan Xue'er explained to Yan Dianyu about the accident that happened today.

"Xue'er, why are you worried about that kid? Don't worry, that kid is very capable, he will be fine!" Yan Dianyu said indifferently, not seeming to be at ease.

"Father, what do you mean by that?" Yan Xue'er's snow eyes froze, but her cheeks were flushed. Seeing this, Yan Dianyu realized something, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"Mo Lanjiong's kid, with the cultivation of the ninth stage of the source soul, it is difficult to meet opponents in the entire Siqi Academy, the Zhang family is in the position of the county Tianhua Mansion, and he has never seen anything in the world! As long as Zhang Bin is not worried about his life, how can his old man make a move for such a red dust!"

"Source Soul Nine Rank!" Yan Xue'er's eyes twitched.

Although Yan Xue'er is invincible in force, she still knows some concepts, He Yunfei and Zhang Bin are against the sky, and the eighth stage of the source soul has already stood at the top of the Siyu Academy, but I didn't expect Mo Lanjiong to look stupid and hide it so deeply.

"Hmph! I've been worrying about you today, I knew that you had such a big elm head, you should have been kicked a few more times and let you pretend to be low-key!"

Yuwentuo and others searched all around in an afternoon, but they never saw Zhang Bin's figure, and they wondered for a while, such an insult to his reputation happened, and Zhang Bin was missing at this moment.

As soon as the day dawned, it happened that Yan Xue'er had nothing to do today, and Mo Lanjiong was walking alone on the street.

Pingcheng is surrounded by mountains, looking from south to north, an iceberg rises up from the mountain, abruptly emerges, stands on the top of the mountains, Mo Lanjiong is familiar with this place, the foot of the mountain is the town of Longling for dozens of miles.

For hundreds of years, many martial cultivators wanted to climb to the peak to find out, but they were blocked by the fierce beast jungle at the foot of the mountain, and they were discouraged.

In fact, there is only a glacial lake and a sky-looking tree on the mountain, and nothing else, and no one knows this better than Mo Lanjiong.

There are many street stalls of the so-called Sacred Mountain Zhuyu Peak Stone, which is colorful and inexpensive, but it is very common at the edge of the beast jungle.

There is a custom in Heijo that young men will give each other a sacred stone as a sign of affection, and if the woman accepts it, it means that she agrees with the man's pursuit, and the two will fall in love.

Several young people watched from the side of the stall for a while, Mo Lanjiong was also among them, thinking that the master had gone, and the Prison Tomb Division was willing to accept him, Mo Lanjiong spent a piece of silver to pick a particularly delicate aqua blue divine stone, and left in surprise to everyone.

Two years ago, Mo Lanjiong exchanged the Soul Source Bead for fifty taels of silver, and now there is no shortage of silver taels.

Leading to the Oak Avenue, the surrounding idlers are completely different, most of them are dressed in gold and jade robes, and jade pendants are sandwiched. Mo Lanjiong came this time to find out.

At the beginning, Mo Lanjiong stepped into Longling Town again, and learned that the Soul Source Bead had already been sent to the Pingcheng Treasure Pavilion, and now he was living in Pingcheng, and it coincided with the Treasure Gathering Conference once a month, Mo Lanjiong naturally wanted to come to find out.

It is located in the center of the Qishu Avenue, a 100-meter seven-star floating nine tower stands impressively, the tower sha is simple and upright, sits on the stone steps of Longtai, the top is inlaid with seven stars of floating clouds, and there are stone doors around each other outside. For hundreds of years, it has been like a pillar of optimus, reaching into the sky.

It was bustling outside the tower, but no one climbed the tower at the moment.

After a while, on the stone steps dozens of meters high, several figures appeared, Mo Lanjiong looked at it, and suddenly his eyes trembled, standing on the far right, it was Yuwen Tuo!

At this time, an old man in white in the middle looked down at the crowd and said majestically: "Today, the Seven Star Floating Nine Towers are opened again, and anyone who damages or steals all the utensils in the tower will be handed over to the Prison Tomb Mansion for punishment!"

The tower immediately trembled, the nine-story stone door opened one after another, and the children of the rich family took the stage one after another, including many students from the Hushan Academy.

"Isn't this the beggar who followed Yan Xue'er!" someone behind him pointed at Mo Lanjiong and shouted. Everyone looked around, and there was a burst of laughter.

"What kind of place is the Seven Stars Floating Nine Towers! How can a beggar be allowed to set foot on it?"

"Okay! This beggar definitely doesn't have a tower talisman, and we'll see how he makes a fool of himself!"

......

Yuwen Tuo naturally caught a glimpse of Mo Lanjiong, the corners of his mouth were slightly Ling, and his eyes were full of treacherous colors.

Seeing that many people around him were wearing a wooden talisman on their waists, Mo Lanjiong grabbed one person and was about to ask.

"Get out, beggar!" the man waved his sleeve and walked away.

There was a commotion all around, Mo Lanjiong walked up the stone steps, and as soon as he reached the top stone platform, he was stopped.

"Stop! This place is not a place for you to set foot as a beggar! Don't get out of here!" Yuwen Tuo pushed over with another golden silk nanmu fan.

"Tuo'er, don't be unreasonable!" the old man looked angry.

"Grandpa, he's the beggar I told you about!" Yuwen Tuo sneered, waiting for the show to begin.

"Oh?"

The old man glanced at Mo Lanjiong, and said with a blank face: "Boy, do you have a tower talisman?"

"The Tower Talisman... What is it?" Mo Lanjiong frowned.

"Hahaha~~"

There were many onlookers around, and they all burst into laughter.

"This kid doesn't know what the tower talisman is, and he dares to climb the Seven Stars Floating Nine Towers!"

"I heard that he was a beggar, and he doesn't look like it, huh?"

"You don't understand! There's a story in this!"

......

Yu Wenran has been in charge of the Seven Star Floating Nine Towers for decades, and he has naturally seen all kinds of strange things, but at the moment it is also dull:

"In the first month of each year, you can go to Luofu to buy it for a fee, and you can enter the Seven Stars Floating Nine Pagoda for free for life, otherwise, you need to pay a silver tael for each floor of the tower. ”

"What!"

According to this meaning, the nine-story tower actually costs nine silver taels! Mo Lanjiong was furious, this is obviously cheating people!

This time, Mo Lanjiong brought a total of three silver taels, even if there were only two left, he could do a lot of things if he put them elsewhere.

"I'm afraid that if you want a year's food, you won't be able to exchange it for a tael of silver!"

Facing Yuwen Tuo's ridicule, Mo Lanjiong gritted his teeth and took out a silver tael, and walked into the tower with a cold face.

"What......!" Yuwen Tuo looked incredulous.

I'll see how you end up!

Yuwentuo gritted his teeth, obviously losing face. But he knew that Mo Lanjiong would come out soon, so he simply let him go in to see the world.
