Chapter 35 Saving Friends in Danger

It's the rainy season, and the city of Kyoto is stormy. It is often in the morning when the sky is still clear, and after a few hours, the sky changes dramatically with dark clouds, a burst of lightning and thunder, and a heavy rain.

In the attic of the Hou Mansion, Luo Xiaotian was standing by the windowsill, staring intently in the direction of the palace. Zhao Susu's departure made his heart empty, and he was even more worried - the rain was pouring down, and he didn't know if her journey was smooth.

The rainy season has made the south cool and damp, and Chen An'an, who has improved slightly, has a wound that is difficult to heal. After inviting several famous doctors in the city, the infection was controlled, but the person was still unconscious.

Luo Xiaotian secretly said in his heart: Senior brother, when will you come back......

Suddenly, in the midst of the rain, a hidden arrow was shot at him. In the blink of an eye, the arrow that broke through the rain was close at hand, but Luo Xiaotian did not avoid it. A cool breeze brought rain, and the sleeve arrow passed against his cheek, and with a muffled sound, it was deeply inserted into the screen behind him.

It seems that there is no danger, but he still has this prediction. At the first glance at the trajectory of the Hidden Arrow, I already knew that the other party did not come to take his own life.

Looking in the direction from which the Hidden Arrow had come from, there was no sign of anyone in his line of sight. In thought, he turned around and walked slowly towards the Hidden Arrow.

On top of the arrow, a small bamboo tube is carried, and this short arrow is generally used to transmit information at close range. After Luo Xiaotian confirmed that the arrow was safe, he took it out and pulled the wooden cork of the bamboo tube, which turned out to be a short letterhead.

I opened the letterhead, and it read: "If you want to save a friend, the old place will be for a while." ”

……

In Lingyang City, the sun broke away the dark clouds and sprinkled the entire town and valley.

Heavy rain wet the dense forests in the valley. The raindrops hanging on the leaves shook and fell one after another along with the branches and leaves of a large tree. An eagle roared, followed by a huge black shadow perched on the top of the tree.

The harrier was taking advantage of the sunlight after the rain to comb the wet feathers on its body at the highest point of the woods. Its sharp eagle eyes stared at the direction of Apocalypse Peak, and in its gray-green pupils, a secluded and hidden cave was reflected.

At the entrance of the cave, there was a young man, kneeling on the ground with his upper body upright, soaking wet, looking at the entrance of the cave silently.

This young man is Yao Qingshu.

Since the day the capital returned to the Apocalypse Peak, Master has been in retreat. At this time, he had been kneeling at the entrance of the cave for a day and a night, no matter how the disciples of the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace persuaded him, he was indifferent.

A few disciples couldn't bear to see the senior brother kneeling at the entrance of the cave, so they took a cloak and put it on him.

If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, the junior brother was still waiting for his news in the capital, and the sensible Yao Qingshu would not have embarrassed his master so much.

The emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and soon after, the stone door at the entrance of the cave finally rumbled open. Seeing this, the disciple who accompanied Yao Qingshu said with a bright smile: "Senior Brother Qingshu, Master is willing to see you, come in!" ”

The disciple of the Apocalypse Palace who spoke helped him up. Yao Qingshu glanced at the open cave, because he had just gotten up, his legs and feet were a little numb, he accidentally stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the disciples around him helped him steady in time.

Yao Qingshu nodded to his disciple as a sign of gratitude, and walked towards the cave alone.

The cave was a little dark, and only a candle was lit. Through the faint light, you can see the furnishings in the cave, although simple, but neat. It stands to reason that it should be cool and damp inside, but as soon as I entered, there was a gentle breeze with a little warmth, blowing slowly.

If you listen carefully, you can also hear the rumbling sound in the mountain.

Just as Yao Qingshu was wondering where this voice came from, Master's voice suddenly came out of the cave: "What is disturbing Shi's cultivation?" ”

Yao Qingshu came back to his senses, hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed to the ground, and arched his hand: "Master, the apprentice took the liberty of disturbing, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

The Heavenly Venerable Daoist slowly walked from the dim hole. When he arrived in front of Yao Qingshu, he frowned, and said with a displeased face: "It must be that stubborn man who caused trouble, so that you can look at him for a good time, don't follow him in everything, why don't you listen!" ”

"Master, it's not Xiaotian who is causing trouble, he's here to save his friends." Yao Qingshu explained.

"Get up and speak slowly......"

Yao Qingshu followed the master into the stone room in the cave. As soon as I arrived at the door, a hot breath hit my face. When the fog lifted, I saw in front of me - the surface of the mountain, covered with crystalline yellow substance, countless of them. When I looked up, I realized that they were hanging down the hole above my head.

The hole above the head is dozens of feet high, and there is no sunlight. The stone chamber under the entrance of the cave is extremely spacious, and stone beds, stone benches, and stone tables have been carved out of it...... Seeing this scene, Yao Qingshu couldn't help but sigh: There is such a treasure in the world. I have been in Apocalypse Peak for more than 20 years, and I have never been here.

Tianzun Daoist sat down in front of the stone table and picked up the teapot on the stone wall casually. The teapot was steaming hot, and apparently, the tea was heated by the temperature of the stone walls.

At this time, Yao Qingshu was still stunned, surprised by the scene in this cave.

Tianzun Daoist poured out two cups of tea and said to him, "Drink tea!" ”

Yao Qingshu was suddenly shocked, oh, and sat down in response.

"Let's hear what happened to the mountain this time." Tianzun Daoist took a sip of tea and said quietly.

"Yes, Master!"

Yao Qingshu told the master everything he had encountered in the past few days.

After hearing this, the master frowned and pondered.

After a long time, I took pen and ink and wrote a letter. The ink dries slightly, folds it, and carefully tucks it into the envelope.

Yao Qingshu looked at the letter on the table and couldn't help asking, "Master...... What is the meaning of this letter? ”

Tianzun Daoist put down the ink pen, stroked his cuffs, and stretched his eyebrows: "You can take this letter to Kyoto, and let Xiaotian hand it over to the person entrusted in the letter, this person has his own way." ”

Yao Qingshu picked up the letter on the table, carefully wrapped it, and put it in his arms.

When I put my hand in my arms, I felt that the clothes inside had already dried, and I couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of this place.

"Master, take your leave. I'm afraid I'm in a hurry to wait, so we'll come back to see you when we're free. Yao Qingshu bowed and said respectfully.

Tianzun Dao Chang stroked his white beard, nodded at him, waved his hand, and motioned for him to step back.

After bidding farewell to the master, Yao Qingshu summoned the harrier and hurriedly flew down the mountain on it.

Leaving Lingyang City.

……

Zhao Susu, who also arrived at the boundary of Lingyang City, was sitting upright in the bumpy carriage. A heavy rain slowed down their trip.

It was raining all the way, and before he had time to eat, the carriage came to a stop in an open field.

The personal maid came to the door, knocked on the carriage gently, and called out softly, "Miss...... Got off the bus and dined. ”

Looking out the window all the way, Zhao Susu, whose eyes were in a trance, suddenly woke up. After recovering his senses, he gently stroked his temples with his hand, and said weakly: "You eat, I am not hungry yet......

The woman outside the car was anxious and persuaded: "Miss...... You haven't eaten for two days, and if you continue like this, I can only tell the prince......"

When Zhao Susu heard this, he was also anxious, and said angrily: "If you go to say, don't follow me!" ”

I have never seen the master's family lose her temper, and the maid naturally knows the reason, she is unhappy in her heart, and mutters in her mouth: "I don't know where Luo Xiaotian is good, I look at him, I don't take Miss to heart at all!" Even the object of the emperor's marriage is not a young lady, and it seems that it is also ......"

"Shut up! You go to the back of the car, don't follow me again! Zhao Susu interrupted her and scolded.

The woman's eyes turned red instantly, tears fell in a stream, and she jumped out of the carriage aggrievedly and ran to the back of the carriage.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Susu regretted it a little, hurriedly pulled the curtain, probed out and said, "Silly girl, come back and help me get some food." ”

The maid stopped, turned her head, looked at her and smiled, and hurriedly agreed to run to get food.

At this time, a male servant ran to her car and said with a panicked expression: "Miss, it's not good, the son is gone!" ”

Zhao Susu was startled, opened the door curtain, and asked anxiously, "What about people?" When did you not see it? ”

"It was raining heavily, and the son got out of the carriage, saying that he was going to the front to explore the way. After riding away, I haven't come back yet! The servant replied.

Zhao Susu stepped out of the carriage and looked left and right at the road. At the moment, there was not even a figure on the road, let alone his brother. Gradually, her eyes were full of worry and uneasy.

……

Luo Xiaotian, who received the letterhead with the sleeve arrow, followed the old place pointed out above and came to the underground palace of the domain alone.

Once inside, he took off his soaked hooded coat to protect him from the rain. followed a black-robed warrior who was waiting for him to the main hall of the dungeon.

Pan Lao sat on it, and when he saw Luo Xiaotian coming in, his face was gloomy.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Xiaotian was displeased, and immediately questioned him: "Old Pan, you are a little inauthentic!" ”

Pan Lao sneered: "Compared to you, my methods are not worth mentioning. ”

"I'm just a little puzzled, why did Pan Lao use Shen Kun to blackmail me."

Pan Lao looked at him and smiled like a charm: "You should know very well in your heart!" Now they are asking me why! ”

Having already guessed a few points in his heart, Luo Xiaotian said solemnly and bluntly: "Didn't Pan Lao think that on the night of the Lantern Festival, what he was doing was not good for Pan Lao?" ”

Pan Lao walked up to him and said coldly, "Hmph! Count your interest and don't play sloppy with me. ”

Facing his eyes, Luo Xiaotian was not afraid: "After thinking about it, I didn't think of anything else, only this matter, Pan Lao paid the most attention." It's just that the situation was urgent, and afterwards, I didn't have time to explain the situation to you that night. ”

"What was the situation that night? I'm afraid that you have already designed it to murder me, don't you just want to kill two birds with one stone and eat me and Chen Xiandu in one bite! Young man, seconds! I didn't look away, and sure enough, I was resourceful and bold! "Pan Lao's words, yin and yang, praise on the surface, are actually asking the teacher to ask for guilt." It's just that I didn't expect that for the sake of high-ranking officials, you are so insidious and cunning. ”

Luo Xiaotian laughed heartily, and Pan Lao looked at him with suspicion on his face.

"Old Pan, you really misunderstood. That night, the operation was unexpected, and all the Assassins fell into the hands of the court officers and soldiers. I ventured up to the stargazing tower alone and inadvertently saved the emperor. ”

He saw that suspicion flashed in Pan Lao's eyes, and then said: "In this way, Pan Lao must not believe it." Isn't it just to be greedy for some credit and take advantage of the court? Before you have time to share it with Pan Lao, you will come to Xingshi to ask for sin! Not really, right? Also caught my friend. If I really wanted to dig a hole and frame me, even if I killed my friend today, I wouldn't be able to do it. ”

After he finished speaking, Pan Lao stared at his eyes with a fierce light, like a fierce and vicious rakshasa. If Luo Xiaotian has a trace of dodge at this moment, he can't get rid of his suspicion in his heart, and Shen Kun will be even more killed.
