Bai Yiyan came out and bowed deeply to Queen Mei, Queen Mei frowned, there was no superfluous expression on her beautiful face, she took off the phoenix hairpin from Bai Yiyan's head, and took the golden coral phoenix crown from the palace people, her hand was pressed very heavy, and Bai Yiyan felt that the hair comb had pierced her scalp. Back in the wing, the palace people brought the dress, Wei Shuyu unfolded the dress, there was no smile on his face, this dark dress was embroidered with a phoenix wearing a peony, a phoenix nine tails, which was the dress used by the princess and the princess.

She put a waist seal on Bai Yiyu and put on a big hat, Bai Yiyan looked at herself in the mirror, and when she stood next to Wei Shuyu, she was more radiant than Wei Shuyu.

"My good sister." Wei Shuyu had a stiff smile on his face, "Your ceremony is really grand." ”

Mu Tingshen is in accordance with the regulations of Princess Pingle, even more luxurious than Princess Pingle and Lu Li, the dress on Bai Yiyan's body is embroidered with peacock gold thread by needle. It is decorated with pearl crystal, and the lining is made of shark silk. Even Princess Pingle has never had such a dress.

Bai Yiyan returned to the ceremony, and the dress made the eyes of many people present widen. Princess Pingle was already dissatisfied just now, and at this time, she looked at Mu Tingshen with some displeasure.

Mu Tingshen didn't care about Queen Mei and Mu Chuanlan's eyes at all, just looked at Bai Yiyan.

Bai Yiyan bowed to Mu Chuanlan, the palace people removed the middle cushion furnishings, and put the banquet on the west step, Bai Yiyan stood on the west side, Queen Mei picked up the wine glass and handed it to Bai Yiyan, Bai Yiyan bowed, Queen Mei returned to Mu Tingshen's side, Bai Yiyan knelt and spilled the liquor on the ground.

Queen Mei reminded quietly on the side. "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with etiquette. It's better to let Mingyue wear this dress at the autumn banquet. ”

Mu Tingshen ignored the queen, but just looked at Bai Yiyan with interest, and Bai Yiyan smiled lightly. "Your Majesty made new clothes for Yilang, Yilang is very happy, but today I performed the ceremony, and I sweated a little, and I was afraid that I would stain the new clothes, and when the autumn banquet came, Yilang will definitely wear it to Your Majesty."

"It's okay, but at the time of the autumn banquet, you didn't have the hairpin ring jewelry with this dress, so I ordered someone to create a pair and make a congratulatory gift together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, she was only thinking about why Mei Changqing went to the north and why she was not in the capital. She sat on the chair, her hands still trembling, and An Ning came up with a box and saluted Bai Yiyan.

"Miss. This is a gift from the Hou Mansion. ”

When Bai Yiyan heard the words Hou Fu, the expression on her face softened, and when she heard about Mei Changqing, she felt a little lighter, even if Mei Changqing was not around, but his warm smile and the temperature in his palm could be transmitted to her from every thing related to him.

An Ning opened the box, there was a long sword lying in the box, the blue scabbard, with a tooth-white pattern, Bai Yiyan took it out, this sword was very pressing, but it was not heavy, Bai Yiyan pulled out the sword, the sword body was made of cold iron, the cold flashed, like the cold light of Gao Yue, the sword body was light and thin, but tough, there was a letter attached to the box, Bai Yiyan opened, it was a familiar font, and he could smell the white sandalwood on it.

This sword is called Aoyue, and the deception is the same swordsman cast, I heard the master say, Yue'er swordsmanship has been completed, so this sword, as Ling You's gift to Miss and the gift.

The sword turned out to be a pair with his. Bai Yiyan held the sword, and there was an indelible smile on his face.

Mu Qing watched Bai Yiyan's expression stretch out on the side, no longer dignified, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, "An Ning, I see, those valuable treasures given by the princes and nobles are not as good as the sword that Hou Ye gave to Miss." ”

"Master Hou is the person who understands Miss the best, and the gifts he naturally gives are also the most in line with Miss's heart." An Ning said. "I see that Miss will sleep with this sword at night."

"Just talk too much." Bai Yiyan temporarily put aside the stone that was pressed in his heart just now, "Hide the sword, don't let Daddy see it." ”

The less people know about her practicing martial arts with the monks of Yanshan Mountain, the better. The less people know about her, the safer she is.

As soon as Bai Yiyan arrived, someone came up to inquire about Bai Yiyan's marriage. Most of the people in Beijing saw Mei Changqing carrying the dowry into the Wei Mansion, and knew that Mei Changqing had already made a marriage to Bai Yi. They knew that they were not as good as Biyu Gongzi, and they didn't dare to mention it. And the officials who served outside, but some of them took the initiative to think crookedly about the newly sealed Mingyue Gong, plus it was Wei Jiangtong's third daughter, not a real princess, so the letter of marriage was sent like snowflakes.

Bai Yiyan won't look at this, Wei Jiangtong has Mei Changqing, a quasi-son-in-law, so naturally he doesn't look down on these people, and these letters asking for relatives have been burning for a month.

Bai Yiyan picked up Aoyue, inserted it into the scabbard, packed some clothes and money, took off the useless hairpin on his head, and tied his hair tightly with a silk ribbon. Carry the package on your back along with the Aoyue.

"Mei'er, can you be as I am?"

Mei'er didn't know what she wanted to do, but nodded.

"Okay, when I'm not there, you can look like me and stay in Jingshi."

Bai Yiyan called Mu Qing's Anning in, and each of them commanded, went out of the door, and went in the direction of Houfu.

"The layman is still taking medicine, so he should not drink alcohol." Bai Yiyan said, standing beside him, feeling a little panicked.

Yun Zhiyao raised his head, glanced at his eyebrows, and a pair of eyes reflected Bai Yiyan's shadow. "If I don't drink it now, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to drink it in the future."

After he finished speaking, he finished the wine in his glass and poured another glass. "Sit, sit."

"Don't dare." Bai Yiyan don't look away, this is how she speaks.

Yun Zhiyao had long seen what she was thinking. "Snuggling. You came to me this time for Ling You's business. ”

"Yes."

"The old man knows that if you want to rescue Ling You, you can't beat Mrs. Hegu on your own, but with the old man's internal strength, maybe you can give it a try." Yun Zhiyao said what Bai Yiyan thought in his heart. "Yiyan, the old man has never given you any expensive gifts, if you open your mouth, the old man can satisfy you with everything."

Bai Yiyan stood in place for a long time and bit his lip. Yun Zhiyao just looked at her, his face was loving, and he didn't feel pain or embarrassment.

"Even if you don't do this, the old man has little time, if you use the old man's life, you can save Ling You back, the old man thinks it's very cost-effective. Ling You has a very important place in your heart, if you want to go, go for it. ”

Bai Yiyan couldn't hold back any longer, tears rolled down, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily to Yun Zhiyao. "You can't do without Ling You, and you can also ask the layman to be fulfilled."

She didn't dare to raise her head, only felt Yun Zhiyao's hand fall on her head, and a warm current flowed from Yun Zhiyao's hand into the top of Bai Yiyan's head, penetrating through the hundreds of remains, and finally merging into the dantian, this body of pure yang internal force, flowing from her meridians and integrating into her body. Half an hour later, Yun Zhiyao put down his hand.

"Go ahead."

Bai Yiyan looked up, and saw that he had poured a glass of wine, as if nothing had happened, but his hands were trembling slightly, Bai Yiyan tears were like rain, and he bowed deeply. "Layman, I"

"The old man knows." Yun Zhiyao said, Bai Yiyan looked up in surprise, but saw that there was no blame on his face, only relief. "What Ling You can find, the old man can find out, Yan Yan is long gone. But you and Yan Yan look so similar, you can call the old man Daddy, the old man's wish has come true. The old man has missed Yan Yan for a long time, and he can finally meet Yan Yan. ”

After speaking, he handed a glass of wine to Bai Yiyan, "The northern country is cold, be careful." ”

Bai Yiyan took the wine glass, drank it all, bowed again, Yun Zhiyao turned around and walked out of the Hou Mansion, without looking back, but tears couldn't stop flowing. Yun Zhiyao is highly poisonous in his body, relying on his internal force to suppress the poisonous hair, which can be regulated with medicine, and now this internal force has been given to her, I'm afraid. Bai Yiyan raised his hand to wipe his tears, Yun Zhiyao had already ordered someone to prepare a good horse for thousands of miles, Bai Yiyan rushed from the capital to the north, all the way to the horse, and in only ten days, he had already arrived at Yujing in the north. It was already snowing in the northern country, so Bai Yiyan bought a mink fur and wrapped it around her body, and she specially covered her face with a veil to hide her identity. The appearance of the people in the north is no different from that of the people of Daliang, except that they are dressed in mink fur and equipped with a ring knife at their waists, and Bai Yiyan entered the inn, and no one paid much attention to it.

Tianmen Valley is also a day or two away from Yujing, and Mei'er saw Mrs. Hegu take people away, so she went from Tianmen Valley to Wanpoison Tower. Bai Yiyan put away the map and clenched Aoyue. Yun Zhiyao passed on to her the internal force she has used skillfully, can be used for her own use, the previous sword moves have the blessing of internal force, and the power is also a few more, but Mrs. Crane Bone can be respected as the head of ten thousand poisons, I am afraid it is not as simple as only martial arts. Bai Yiyan didn't know if he could defeat Mrs. Crane Bone. Although she has mellow internal strength now, it is not her own after all, and if she can play to eighty percent, she will have more hope.

When Feng Niang heard this, her face did not change, but she just whipped her sideways, "Since this is the case, I have come to ask for war." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the whip rushed towards Bai Yiyan with a strong wind, Bai Yiyan dodged, and the tripwire on the ground was hooked up by her as soon as she stepped on it, and the killer on the career also threw down the golden hook, the golden hook was barbed, Bai Yiyan dodged those golden hooks, and Feng Niang's whip came from the gap between the golden hooks, and Bai Yiyan's body was light. Swinging a sword at a golden hook can only knock them back, not knock them down. There are tripwires on the ground, there are golden hook fishing nets in the sky, Feng Niang sees the gap and moves, and Bai Yiyan has strong internal force to support. The golden hook hit the Aoyue Sword, the sound was crisp, Bai Yiyan was careful not to hook the golden hook on his body, and retreated towards the edge of the cliff.

The tripropes are staggered at the bottom of the valley, Bai Yiyan will bounce the triprope when he steps on the wrong step, presumably the mechanism should be located on the edge of the valley, Bai Yiyan is now deeply internal, and with one move to break the moon and cut the clouds, he will cover most of the gravel on the ground, and sure enough, he saw the criss-crossing mechanism. It is not difficult to destroy these mechanisms, Bai Yiyan has learned light skills, and the attacks of the golden hook and Feng Niang can also be easily dodged, destroying the tripwires on the ground, leaving the heavenly golden hook. The killer above would not let Bai Yiyan go up, Bai Yiyan supported the rock wall with one hand, and when the golden hook came, he grabbed the rope with one hand to avoid the others and dragged the golden hook down.

It's just that the golden hook is like rain, Bai Yiyan had to fall to the ground again, swung his sword and drew a circle on the ground, the dust was flying, Bai Yiyan took Feng Niang directly, and in the past, Feng Niang also connected with his palm, but Bai Yiyan was the deep internal force of Yanshan monks for decades, not that she Feng Niang could easily match.

Feng Niang was swallowed up by the internal force, coughed up blood, took a few steps back, and lifted the whip. Bai Yiyan tilted his head and grabbed the whip. The barb on the whip cut through the deerskin gloves, Bai Yiyan raised his sword and stabbed at Feng Niang, Feng Niang spilled a pack of poisonous cigarettes from her sleeve, Bai Yiyan hurriedly covered her mouth and nose to dodge, and when the poisonous smoke dissipated, Feng Niang and the killer disappeared, only there were traces of a fight in the valley.

Bai Yiyan's horse had already run away, and at this time she could only walk to the depths of Tianmen Valley on foot. In the depths of Tianmen Valley, there is not only snow and gravel, but also faintly visible smoke in the distance. Bai Yiyan didn't have to come close to know that it was poisonous.

Along the way, Bai Yiyan did not encounter an ambush, the small wound on her palm had healed, and Feng Niang's whip was not poisonous. Out of Tianmen Valley, but to Bai Yiyan's surprise, behind Tianmen Valley is clearly a basin, the basin has shrubs and dense forests, in the middle of the dense forest, towering buildings. Such a dense forest made Bai Yiyan almost think that he was not in the northern country, but in Miaojiang. As soon as Bai Yiyan descended into the forest, he smelled a smell of sulfur. Presumably, the reason why so many trees grow here is why there are volcanic hot springs here. Such a warm forest is very susceptible to poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and things that are not found in the north may also appear in this forest. Bai Yiyan finally knew why Zhong Liyan could double cultivate Gu Poison, with such a perfect environment, it was the most suitable for cultivating Gu Poison Master.

Except for Feng Niang, Bai Yiyan did not encounter anyone else to stop her, presumably Mrs. Hegu wanted to see her, so she let her in. Bai Yiyan walked to the door of the Ten Thousand Poison Building, and the guards did not stop him, Bai Yiyan walked over, and saw Mrs. Hegu sitting in the center of the hall, dressed in a purple robe, beautifully embroidered, and wearing a silver crown on her head. The chair she was sitting on was draped in a white tiger skin, and under the white tiger skin was a white bone, so she sat on the chair and looked at Bai Yiyan from above. Bai Yiyan originally thought that Mrs. Hegu was already an old woman, but the Mrs. Hegu sitting there was obviously a beauty who was no more than thirty years old, she was much more beautiful than her disciples, and her face was charming but dignified, cold but affectionate. So contradictory, yet so harmonious. She looked at Bai Yiyan without a trace of emotion, and her eyes were like ancient wells. She spoke, her voice a little hoarse, but not charming. "You are from Daliang, why did you come to my Ten Thousand Poison Building?"

"Madame, please give me back my husband." Bai Yiyan clenched his sword.

Tianchi is on the top of the snow-capped mountain, Bai Yiyan climbed to the top of the mountain with his hands and feet, and saw the blue lake, filled with a sulfurous smell.

There was magma activity below, so the lake did not freeze, and the wind on the top of the mountain was much lighter. In just a moment, Bai Yiyan's hand was swollen from the cold, and his little finger drew a bloody mouth at some point, turning out the tender flesh. Bai Yiyan dipped his hand in the warm lake water, and blood drifted in the lake. After washing off the blood, Bai Yiyan tore open the handkerchief, covered the wound on his hand, put on gloves, and when he got up, he saw the lake water flip and a few bubbles appeared.

Bai Yiyan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously held his sword, and saw an ice-blue toad popping out and landing on the lotus leaves on the lake. The lotus leaf was like an ice floe, and Bai Yiyan didn't pay attention to it. It should be the snow clam that Mrs. Crane Bone said, and when she smelled blood, she jumped out of the warm bottom of the lake, and Bai Yiyan took a few steps back. This snow clam is recorded in the pharmacopoeia and is a famous poison, ranking among the three strange poisons. They only appear when the Snow Peak Lotus is open, and there is no Snow Peak Lotus open on this lake, so they must have been picked away by Mei Changqing. Bai Yiyan took a few steps back. Although these ice clams are not afraid of snow and ice, the lake is warm, and they just jump to the edge of the lake and stop. It seems to be looking for the smell of blood just now.

The frog's eyes could only see moving objects, Bai Yiyan didn't dare to move, fortunately she was in the downwind, and the smell of blood on her body couldn't blow there, and the snow clam turned around, but Bai Yiyan was not found, and she had already jumped back into the lake one after another.

It's just that an evil wind suddenly rose up and blew Bai Yiyan's robe, and the group of snow clams suddenly went crazy, jumping towards Bai Yiyan one after another, Bai Yiyan turned around and ran. This cedar is soft, even if Bai Yiyan uses light skills, it is inevitably difficult to move. The snow clams at the head have already spewed venom, and the venom is so strong that it is frozen by the cold wind and falls into the snow like ice picks. The surrounding snow melted into a puddle of water, and was frozen by the cold wind. Bai Yiyan didn't have time to look at the situation behind, but ran forward lifelessly, and finally left the group of snow clams behind. Bai Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know when the gloves were lost just now, and a pair of hands were exposed, and the ten fingers of Qianqian, which were originally as white as shalves, were swollen and red from the cold. The wind in Shanyang is lighter, and there are some pines and cypresses, which are still verdant, not all of them are dead, and there are traces of the gray squirrel's movements, Bai Yiyan shrank his hand in the cloak, his hand was cold, and he felt that his body was cold, and he swam the internal force in his body. I have passed through a few qi vein acupoints, and I feel better.

When I got up and picked up Aoyue, I heard movement around me, and when I looked up, I saw an eagle flying in the sky, and I don't know why it didn't fall for a long time. Bai Yiyan walked over there, and there was a rift in front of him, and the eagle was hovering above this rift.

Bai Yiyan looked down carefully on the edge of the cliff, stepped on the snow on the edge of the cliff, the snow fell for a long time, and did not fall to the ground, Bai Yiyan walked to the side, and saw the nest of the eagle. There were three fledgling birds in the nest, and one man. Bai Yiyan only felt pleasantly surprised, didn't care about the cliff, went down the holly vine, jumped onto the stone platform where the nest was built.

Mei Changqing was still alive, but his mind was blurred, and Bai Yiyan called him twice, and only listened to his muttering. Bai Yiyan couldn't care much, and leaned Mei Changqing on her, only to feel that he was hot, and he should have a high fever. There are a lot of protruding stone platforms on this cliff, as well as caves, Bai Yiyan will definitely not be able to go up with Mei Changqing on his back, but this bird's nest is set up in the leeward place, and there is a cave not far below, and there is a string of holly vines hanging down to the entrance of the cave.

He has a high fever now, and Bai Yiyan has no choice, she didn't bring those fever-reducing herbs, and the only heat-reducing herbs are still compatible with the medicinal properties of cold medicine. Bai Yiyan had to wrap the snow in a handkerchief and stick it on Mei Changqing's forehead to cool him down.

After tossing and turning for three days, Mei Changqing came to his senses, and Bai Yiyan brought cold spirits and fed him all of them. Their neighbors in the past few days even threw a few rabbits to Bai Yiyan, and Bai Yiyan was very grateful. Bai Yiyan also caught a few gray squirrels on the top of the cliff and roasted them to eat.

"Enough, Yue'er, enough. You've done a great job. It's me who is bad, and I shouldn't worry you. Thank you for saving me, Yue'er. Mei Changqing said. As he spoke, his eyes swept over the chilblain crack on Bai Yiyan's hand, and the expression on his face became more and more painful, and his eyes were full of distress.

"I'm sorry."

Bai Yiyan wiped the tears from his face and handed the roasted rabbit to Mei Changqing. "You have to take good care of your body, and we will return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Hmm." Mei Changqing nodded, his body was much better, although he was still very weak, he could barely get up after eating.

"Did Master say anything else when you left?" Mei Changqing let out a long sigh and asked.

Bai Yiyan frowned and lowered his eyes. "The layman said that he had known for a long time that I was not his daughter, and he said that he was very happy to be able to accompany Mrs. Dugu, and said that he had no regrets, so he asked me to come to you."

"Master is indeed Master." Mei Changqing leaned against the rock wall. "I thought Master would be a little happier, but I didn't expect Master to know everything."

Bai Yiyan didn't look around, it was snowing again just now, Bai Yiyan took some clean snow and put it in the kettle, and melted it by the fire.

The snow at this time is as big as goose feathers, and Bai Yiyan has never seen such a big snow in Beijing. The neighbor Golden Eagle family was already huddled together, with a layer of snow falling on their bodies. Bai Yiyan looked out of the cave and couldn't help but remember.

"When I found you, you were in that nest, and after I took you to this hole, the eagle threw me rabbits for three days."

Mei Changqing also smiled, "I must have caused them a lot of trouble." ”

Bai Yiyan hid back at the entrance of the cave. "Why did Madame Crane Bone arrest you, she said you owe her something, what do you owe her?"

"I don't know." Mei Changqing propped up his body with a solemn expression, "I just heard about it, and I don't know much about the northern country." Originally, Mei's home was in the East China Sea, and when Emperor Yuan destroyed the first Qin, he came to the Central Plains, and it has only been 70 years until today. I've only seen a few words in the classics of Empress Huiyao of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and I don't know if it's the Crane Bone Lady of the Ten Thousand Poison Building. ”

"But she doesn't look like she's in her twenties." The more Bai Yiyan thought about it, the more he felt a chill down his spine, more than two hundred years old? This simply does not make sense. However, it is said in ancient books that Peng Zu lived for more than 800 years, although there are exaggerated elements, it is not without precedent. After all, it's been a long time, and there are many things she doesn't know. But the martial arts and poison techniques that Mrs. Crane Bone possesses are not like those in her twenties.

"So she's really over two hundred years old?" Bai Yiyan asked in a low voice. Although he knew that it was impossible, Bai Yiyan still believed it a little. "I've only heard rumors."

Mei Changqing stretched out his hand to approach the fire. The flames danced, reflecting his face. "I don't know much about the Northland, although the last time I came to the Northland, I checked a lot of information and historical books, but I still know too little."

Bai Yiyan also lowered his head, Mei Changqing was already a leader among his peers when he was weak, and he said so, is there anyone in the Central Plains who can understand the northern country. Bai Yiyan stirred up the fire, "Beiguo, I've never heard of it, and I haven't heard of the Ten Thousand Poison Tower, Mrs. Crane Bone." ”

"Yue'er has lived in the boudoir for a long time, and of course Yue'er doesn't know about these things on the rivers and lakes." Mei Changqing said. "I will find more classics for Yi Yan to read, there are many historical books in my Hou Mansion Library, if Yue'er is interested, you can read it casually."

"I'll let you go back. But he couldn't go back. Mrs. Crane Bone said, pointed at Mei Changqing, and said with a smile.

"The Snow Peak Lotus you wanted, he has already helped you get it." Bai Yiyan took out the ice-colored lotus, Mrs. Hegu raised her hand, Feng Niang lowered her eyes and pushed it down, she walked in front of Bai Yiyan, did not take the lotus, but instead had long nails across Bai Yiyan's face. "It's not that I don't want to let him go back, it's that God doesn't want to."

"What do you mean?" Bai Yiyan looked at her, although there was some fear in his heart, he still looked straight into her eyes.

Mrs. Hegu suddenly smiled and took the Snow Peak Lotus in Bai Yiyan's hand. "Xuefeng Lotus grows on the bank of Tianchi, guarded by snow clams, snow clams are extremely poisonous, but Xuefeng Lotus is a miracle antidote. The last time he came, he was to ask for an antidote for you, so I gave him my Snow Peak Lotus, and now, the Snow Peak Lotus has bloomed, and he naturally wants to return one to me. Lady Crane Bone laughed. I originally thought he was a disciple of Yun Zhiyao and had some ability, but I didn't expect to be poisoned. ”

"You said he was poisoned?" Bai Yiyan gently put down Mei Changqing, let him lean against the pillar, and touched his forehead, it was still hot. "There were no injuries on his body, and there were no signs of poisoning."

。
