Chapter 118: Mo Lan Chapter ~ Moonlight, Starry Sky
As soon as I returned to the general's mansion, I heard the soldiers at the door tell the two that General Xi had returned to the mansion.
How? General Xi, who was avoiding them all day long, was finally willing to appear?
When Gao Qingzhu and Xu Xingchen came to the main hall, the tall and burly General Xi with a long beard was already waiting there.
"Ah, the two immortal envoys sit down quickly."
He looked very modest, but it was a little different from his rough and fierce appearance.
Since the two of them were from Kunlun, they naturally lightened the general's courtesy, and they only bent down slightly to show respect.
General Xi naturally didn't dare to ask too much from the immortals, but when Xu Xingchen lowered his head, a trace of coldness flashed in General Xi's eyes, after all, knowing that he was a half-demon, there was always some mustard in his heart.
At this moment, the three of them were suspicious of each other.
"General Xi, this time you go down the mountain, you can make us wait miserably." Xu Xingchen made a joke.
"I really can't get out of the way in the first two days, I have offended a lot, and I hope the two immortal envoys will not blame." General Xi said a few polite words, and then invited the two to sit down together.
As soon as he sat down, he entered the topic: "Recently, I believe that the two immortal envoys have known about the affairs of Fengrin City, the fox demon is haunting the city, and has captured many young men and women, and now I have imposed a curfew on the city, and the people in the city are forbidden to go out at night, but there are still people missing every day, and just yesterday, I found that the fox demon will not appear on the fifteenth day of every month." ”
"Fifteen?" Gao Qingzhu was puzzled.
Heart-devouring gave her the answer: "This fox demon has a habit, every fifteenth day of the month, he will cultivate in a stone cave outside the city, where the terrain is special and the qi of the fairy spirit is sufficient, so every time the moon is full, with the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, it will stay there." I remember that Gao Molan also took advantage of this opportunity to find it at that time. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier? Every time I speak, I gasp so loudly. Gao Qingzhu said it dissatisfied, and was noticed by Xu Xingchen and General Xi.
"Immortal envoy, this is ......," General Xi looked puzzled.
Xu Xingchen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is the Kunlun Snake Immortal, who often does things that mortals can't understand." ”
"Oh, that's right." General Xi also laughed dryly.
What mortals can't understand?
This description, how strange Gao Qingzhu sounds.
"Thank you for telling the general, this immortal knows what to do." Gao Qingzhu suddenly became confident.
"Oh? The immortal envoy already knows where the fox demon is? General Xi was curious.
Even Xu Xingchen looked at her in surprise.
"That's right."
Where is this fox demon Gao Qingzhu doesn't know, but he knows it, it's already experienced it once, and it can't forget the location of the stone cave, right?
"Good! The immortal envoy is really powerful. General Xi praised, and suddenly waved his palm, but pointed to the location at the door of the hall, "Then in this case, in order to help you, General Ben also invited another immortal envoy to help the two." ”
In the direction of his open hand, a man in white walked in.
That's—
Bai Yanjun?!
Why did he come here?
Xu Xingchen and Gao Qingzhu glanced at each other, unable to guess what this General Xi meant.
"In Xia Bai Yanjun, he was originally a fish fairy in the Void Realm, and now-" His gaze wandered between the two for a while, and finally stopped on Gao Qingzhu, "It's Langzhong." ”
Xu Xingchen's face sank, his eyes were cold, the corners of his mouth hooked up a disdainful smile, and he turned his head away and didn't look at him again.
Being stared at by him all the time, Gao Qingzhu was uncomfortable in his heart, but he was extremely calm, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the immortal of Luofu Mountain Chong Void Realm, who has admired the name for a long time, with your help, we will definitely be able to win a big victory in this demon hunt." ”
After the polite words were spoken, Xu Xingchen glanced at Bai Yanjun again.
To be honest, Xu Xingchen has always been skeptical about Bai Yanjun's identity.
If he is a fox demon, then what is he doing to join this demon extermination operation? A thief shouts to catch a thief? Xu Xingchen still has to think of a way to denounce General Xi by the way, except for this Bai Yanjun;
And if he is an immortal from Luofu, then what does he do when he goes down to earth to get involved in this?
But speaking of which, if he was really an immortal, wouldn't it be the fact that he heard him talking to General Xi the night before......
While thinking like this, Xu Xingchen sniffed, but he still didn't smell a trace of the fox demon's scent, but on the contrary, he didn't smell the fairy qi either.
It seems that this Bai Yanjun is not shallow, and he is a ruthless character.
This also made Xu Xingchen more wary of him.
"So—...... of this demon slaying thing?" General Xi asked out loud, as if asking what Gao Qingzhu meant.
Gao Qingzhu comprehended and said: "Please rest assured general, when it comes to the fifteenth, we will remove the demon before the meeting, but in the past few days, we still have to bother the general to make arrangements for us to eat, travel, and stay." ”
Let others arrange food and clothing for themselves, which Gao Qingzhu is very thick-skinned.
Not only does she eat other people's and sleep with other people's, she also wants to use other people's money!
But she was still too embarrassed to speak.
……
There is still a period of time before the fifteenth, in ancient times, there were no mobile phones, televisions, computers, and no Internet, Gao Qingzhu didn't know how she came back to life after falling into a dream, in addition to eating and sleeping all day long, she was wandering around, and the pace of life could be said to be slow to the extent that a turtle crawled.
No, when she came back from the market in the morning, and lay in bed for a few hours in the afternoon, she began to panic again.
When I opened the door and looked up in the distance, I couldn't see the surrounding scenery of the courtyard house, but I could see the crane tower standing tall against the mountain in the distance, and an idea suddenly came to mind.
Why don't you go to the Crane Tower?
But you have to have a pass order to go up to the crane tower, Gao Qingzhu frowned.
Anyway, General Xi is mixed with the court, why don't you ask him?
"What are you doing?"
Before I saw him, I heard Xu Xingchen's voice floating over.
Gao Qingzhu looked back in the direction of his room, but he didn't see him; Looking at the gate of the courtyard again, there was still no one in sight.
Where did you go?
"Here."
The voice came from overhead.
Looking up, it was almost dusk, the light on the horizon was still a little strong, a touch of slanting sun sprinkled, and the familiar figure was sitting leisurely in the corner of the roof with the light on his back, like a silhouette.
Gao Qingzhu covered his eyes that were pierced by the light and asked, "What are you doing there if you have nothing to do?" ”
"Breathable." Xu Xingchen stretched his waist and lay down as if he was a little sleepy, "I have food and drink, and I'm about to be fed into a pig." ”
"I'd like to see you turn into a pig." Gao Qingzhu laughed.
"Fairy Molan, this joke can't be made, if I were a pig, this Kunlun wouldn't dare to ask me, right?"
Gao Qingzhu laughed silently, and began to imagine Xu Xingchen turning into a pig.
After that, she stopped laughing, and when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the crane tower again, she suddenly proposed: "Since there is nothing to do, how about going to the crane tower to have a look?" ”
When Xu Xingchen heard this, he immediately sat up with interest: "Okay! ”
……
The Crane Tower is the easternmost part of the entire Peak Rin Castle, and it is also the highest place in the entire city.
The two of them came all the way, it can be said that they have climbed countless steps, and now their tired legs are starting to sore.
Seeing that he was about to reach the Crane Tower, but in front of him, Gao Qingzhu really couldn't walk.
She sat down on a stone on the side of the road, knocking on her two weak calves weakly, Xu Xingchen smiled helplessly on the side, and also sat down to rest.
The afterglow of the sky is about to fall, and the lanterns have been hung up on the street unconsciously, and the stone road under the crane tower is the first time Gao Qingzhu has seen it.
The winding road is lit by lanterns on both sides, like a long dragon extending all the way to the foot of the mountain, and even the crane tower is bright and shining like a palace, which looks luxurious, but it reveals a handsome and elegant style.
General Xi has said that a curfew will be imposed at night, and although it is not completely dark, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.
Sitting quietly, Gao Qingzhu enjoyed the comfort, and suddenly, as if she had rested enough, she stood up again.
"Not tired?" Xu Xingchen asked.
Gao Qingzhu nodded: "Let's go, keep climbing, and you'll be almost at the Crane Tower." ”
"Since you're tired, why don't you go back? Didn't you say you couldn't come out at night? Xu Xingchen followed behind her.
"That's for the common people, we are from Kunlun, and the fox demon dares to touch us?"
"You don't have immortal power, what should I do if you're caught by a monster?"
"Isn't there still you?"
Gao Qingzhu said that, and walked forward by himself, but Xu Xingchen was stunned.
He couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and followed quickly.
It didn't take long to walk, but by the time the two of them arrived at the Crane Tower, it was already dark.
The sound of insects in the grass by the roadside was noisy but quiet, because no other sound could be heard.
The crane tower has been closed, and it is impossible to go up today.
Gao Qingzhu lowered her head and looked at the pass in the general's handwriting, which she asked for from General Xi, it was already night, it seemed that this pass was useless today.
Knowing that there was a curfew but still insisting on coming up, Gao Qingzhu also realized his stubbornness.
"Didn't you say that there is still me?" Xu Xingchen suddenly walked in front of Gao Qingzhu and said a rare gentle word.
What did he mean by that?
Gao Qingzhu was curious, only to feel that his hand was grabbed by the other party, and he fell into Xu Xingchen's arms with a waist hug.
Thinking that he was going to play hooligan, he wanted to push away, but he felt a lightness under his feet.
Flying?!
This is the first time Gao Qingzhu has been carried by a man and flew in the air, and I still remember the last time He Xinlan held herself like this.
The strength around his waist was tightly embraced, but he could feel Xu Xingchen's shyness.
At this moment, the two of them are going up in a straight line at a not too fast speed, and every time they cross the first floor of the crane tower, they can see the lanterns by the window dragging into a long halo of light, red and yellow, as beautiful as fireflies on a summer night.
Finally, under such a beautiful view, the two reached the top floor of the Crane Tower.
Raising your eyes, the blue starry sky under the moonlight is like a Milky Way sprinkled with points of light, spreading out in the boundless sky.
Occasionally, a few flickering stars twinkle, like jewels embedded in them, painting a mysterious picture.
Gao Qingzhu, who was enjoying this harmonious beauty, closed his eyes, but suddenly opened them.
Just because she remembered one thing.
Suddenly, she looked down at the dress she was wearing.
It is a light blue light tulle shirt and a white gauze skirt.
If you remember correctly, it was the scene Gao Qingzhu had seen in her dream, but at this moment, the content of the conversation was different from the dream.
"What's going on?" She suddenly asked out loud, which confused Xu Xingchen.
What does it mean to suddenly ask what's going on?
Xu Xingchen couldn't understand it, but he understood it.
I just heard it say: "Maybe you failed to make Xu Xingchen fall in love with yourself in time, so Gao Molan's story line has changed a little, do you remember Bai Yanjun?" ”
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"He shouldn't have appeared in front of Gao Molan, but he did, and it seems that the dream of the past life is all messed up."
"What happens after that?" Gao Qingzhu began to worry, if she couldn't get out of her dream, wouldn't she never be able to see Xu Nanxing forever?
Heart-devouring comforted: "Don't worry, if the ending doesn't change, you should still be able to get out, but after that, you have to be very careful." ”
"What the hell are you talking to yourself?"
Behind him, Xu Xingchen finally couldn't help but speak, seeing that Gao Qingzhu was not normal, his face revealed concern.
However, Gao Qingzhu didn't follow the routine, and asked coldly, "Do you like me?" ”
Xu Xingchen was stunned suddenly.
