Twenty-three, the first time I saw Dongming (I)
When Ming Ying and Lan Yu, who led all their subordinates, appeared in front of Ming Er and Lan Qi side by side with their hands tied, the corners of their eyes twitched after being surprised. The discord between the master and the son is only secretly, what is the two of them like this?
Lan Yu, who was pulled aside by Lan Qi, explained: "My subordinates are worried that if the people of the Ming family find it first, it will be unfavorable to Qi Shao. β
And carrying Lan Qi Mingying on his back, he also explained to Ming Er: "That 'Blue Demon' is insidious and despicable, and its subordinates must be the same, Mingying is worried that they will be unfavorable to the son, so he has to do so." β
For Dongming Island, which they had never set foot on, from the moment they heard its name on Yingshan, Ming Er and Lan Qi had already taken action in secret, and they had personally ventured into danger and made various arrangements as soon as possible. When the two big ships carrying three hundred martial arts masters just set off, the two family members of Ming and Lan behind them had already acted according to the master's orders.
At the beginning of the storm on the Dongming Sea, there were subordinates who sent a message to the land with snow eagles, and the subordinates who got the news immediately sent a boat to the sea to rescue after the storm stopped, and they certainly knew what kind of person their master was, when it was impossible to die in that storm, but it took some time to search in the vast sea, and it was even more unexpected that people from Ming and Lan would meet in the sea.
Although the two families are both Baidao families in the martial arts, they have always been good friends and have no grudges, even if Ming Er and Lan Qi meet each other, they will be polite and harmonious on the surface, but with Ming Ying and Lan Yu, of course, they have already secretly been advised by the two. So as soon as the two sides met, although there was no big fight, but vigilance is indispensable, after some maneuvering, the two sides reached an agreement: Mingluo and Lan Yun took a boat to continue to Dongming Island, and Ming Ying and Lan Yu continued to search for the missing master.
In the eyes of Ming Er and Lan Qi, it is a powerful subordinate with extraordinary talents, but the two of them don't know if they have a bad fate in their previous life and have a grudge in this life like their master, and they have reached a consensus, and they know intellectually that they should turn enemies into friends at this moment, but the two of them just don't like each other.
The dimples on Lan Yu's left cheek that are not smiling and deeply exposed are cute and amiable in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Ming Ying, they become the secret knife of the smiling tiger, Ming Ying's small and bright eyes are smart and reliable in the eyes of others, but in Lan Yu's opinion, it is a nest of intrigue and trickery, and the other party's slightest words and actions become a provocation and calculation in each other's eyes, and in the end, the two of them did not agree on the battle for three hundred rounds, and the result was of course a stalemate, the two of them tied their hands together, and walked together in front of the two masters, This eliminates the possibility that the other party will reach the victim first, well, his subordinates look ridiculous, even Ming Er and Lan Qi are embarrassed when they look at it.
It's just that Ming Er and Lan Qi didn't have the mood and time to blame the two of them at the moment, so they left the desert island that had taken them in for several days and nights without any nostalgia, boarded a clean and comfortable ship and set sail.
After each of them freshened up, ate and drank, they each called into Mingying and Lan Yu into the cabin, as for what they asked and what they ordered, only they knew.
The surprise attack and unpredictable storm in the Dongming Sea did not surprise them, but in the same way, all this seems to be in the calculation of Dongming Island! They are all people who are used to controlling everything, and since the disappearance of "Lan Yin Biyue", the Imperial Martial Arts has repeatedly lost the upper hand in fighting the mysterious enemy of Dongming Island, which makes them extremely unhappy! Whether it is for themselves, or for the imperial martial arts, or for the sake of the sky, they must crush the boulder of Dongming Island! At this moment, for the two of them, there is a common enemyβββ Dongming Island!
Therefore, one of the many orders that Ming Ying and Lan Yu received was the same.
Dongming Island, you dare to play and trample on the Imperial Martial Arts before I control it!
On the big boat that was sailing with the wind, Lan Qi and Ming Er sat in the cabin, one was still bewitching and beautiful, and the other was still dusty and gentle, but they smiled coldly at the same moment.
The ship sailed at sea for five days and five nights, and on October 18 it came to rest very discreetly behind the reefs.
Lan Qi and Ming Er stepped out of the cabin and saw another ship also hidden behind a reef and stopped, seeing that this boat was stationed, two young women on the opposite boat flew over and landed steadily on the board.
"Seven less."
"Childe."
The pretty and handsome Lan Yun, who had a pair of crescent-like eyes, walked quickly towards Lan Qi, while the slender and petite Ming Luo walked towards Ming Er like a weak willow supporting the wind, and her delicate eyes were full of care.
Lan Qi and Ming Er each looked at their subordinates who were walking towards them with a smile.
"Childe, are you alright?" Mingluo looked at Minger's whole body with the eyes of a doctor.
"Qishao, you weren't plotted, were you?" Lan Yun asked more clearly.
When the words fell, Ming Ying stared at Lan Yun fiercely, and Lan Yu nodded in agreement.
Lan Qi spread his hands and said with a smile: "Although the enemy is cunning and insidious, Ben Shaohong is blessed and survived. β
And Ming Er said gently: "There are seven young people along the way, and it is finally nine deaths and one life." β
The two looked at each other with a smile.
"Lan Yu, I haven't seen the second son of Ming yet."
"Mingluo, don't hurry up and salute Qi Shao."
has the master's orders, of course, Lan Yun and Mingluo can't be rude.
"Lan Yun has seen the second son."
"Mingluo has seen seven young people."
Lan Yun and Ming Luo bowed, and by the way, they also took a good look at the person who often wanted to chew the liver and lungs.
This appearance is pleasing to the eye, and the red dust is unique. Lan Yun said secretly.
These blue eyes can really hook the soul. Mingluo pressed down on his throbbing chest.
After the ceremony, it's time to get down to business.
"Seven Shao, that's Dongming Island." Lan Yun pointed to the distance.
On the bow of the boat, Ming Er and Lan Qiji looked out, and with their eyes, they could only see a small piece of black and gray in the sea, and there seemed to be many islands in the blur, which showed the distance.
"We've been here for three days, but the ship can't get any closer, or it will alarm the sentinels on Dongming Island." Mingluo said, "They always send ships around the island to investigate, and they are extremely vigilant. β
"That's what Dongming Island is?" Lan Qi squinted his eyes at the black and gray that seemed to float on the surface of the sea in the distance.
"The last time the people of Dongming Island appeared, the 'Evil Soul' was ordered to follow them, and the young master of Dongming Island, Yun Wuya, finally led the people back here." Lan Yu replied.
"Hmm." Lan Qi nodded and looked at Ming Er.
Receiving Lan Qi's gaze, Ming Er looked at Ming Ying.
Ming Ying hugged his fists and replied: "Yu Gongzi, our people have found out that this is Dongming Island." β
After getting the answer, Ming Er and Lan Qi glanced at each other and exchanged opinions.
"When it gets dark, I swim with Qishao, and you do what you say." Ming Er commanded lightly.
Since meeting with his subordinates, the second prince has returned to his usual calm and elegant fairy appearance, if the embarrassing situation on the island is not for Lan Qi to see with his own eyes and never doubt his own eyes, he would really think it was a dream.
"Let's get ready to go for Ben Shao." Lan Qi waved his hand and commanded.
"Yes." Mingying, Mingluo, Lan Yu, and Lan Yun bowed down and retreated under the orders of their respective masters.
When the sea and sky were as dark as ink, after Ming Er and Lan Qi confirmed the direction, they plunged headlong into the icy seawater.
In the dark, they snorkel in and out of the water, carefully avoiding reefs and sentinels, and struggling to swim towards their targets. With their skill, it was easy to avoid people's eyes and ears, but their skills also swam in the sea for almost an hour before they reached the shore, at that time, their whole body was numb with cold, their lips were purple and their faces were blue, but in order not to alarm the sentinels on the shore, they had to abandon the land lights that were within reach, and by the faint light on the shore, they turned to climb the steep and steep cliff that stood on the shore and was unguarded.
Climbing to the top of the cliff, the two of them took a breath, and then each chose a hidden place to take off their wet and cold clothes, dry their hair, and change into clean clothes and belts wrapped in oiled paper.
Ming Er has always preferred green shirts, but the style and ornaments are different, and the plain and simple blue clothes are also the most set against his elegant and clean charm. And Lan Qi likes dark purple, light green, and light yellow clothes, which also match her charm the most. The dark purple shows her magical aura, the light green reflects the deep blue of her eyes, and the light yellow adds a dazzling warm color to her terrifying bewitchment.
When he reappeared, Ming Er's green shirt was still the same, and Lan Qiyi was dressed in light yellow men's clothes.
Looking at the sky, there was still some time before dawn, so the two of them found a leeward place to breathe, both dormant and to recuperate.
When the sky was bright, the two of them opened their eyes and got up, stood on the high cliff, and looked around, only to find that the place where they stood was a small island, and across the strait in front of them, stood a larger island, which was so vast that it could not be seen. The hills and rivers in the distance, the villages and towns in the vicinity, all in full view, the smoke curling, the faint voices of the people, it is actually a peaceful place, no different from any piece of land in the imperial empire, not the imaginary forest and ice wilderness.
"It looks like it's a little kingdom in the middle of the sea." Lan Qidao.
"Maybe it's really another paradise outside the Imperial Empire." Ming Er's eyes scanned the many small islands scattered around the sea, and there were fields, houses, and human figures in the same visible.
"It's obviously a country of its own, why do you want to take the 'Lan Yin Biyue', why do you want to provoke the Imperial Martial Arts?" Lan Qi played with the jade fan in his hand, quite incomprehensible.
"This is the question of everyone in the Imperial Martial Arts." Meiji withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at the nearby way out.
"According to Lan Yu's investigation, the seniors have also lost their traces since the storm, you say......" Lan Qi's blue eyes moved from the jade fan in his hand to Ming Er's face, "Will they end up with those three thousand masters?" After all, the Dongming Sea is a devouring abyss for the martial arts of the Imperial Dynasty, but it is the cradle for the people of Dongming Island. β
"Thinking about it, as long as we can find that Young Master Yun, we will definitely be able to find the answer, isn't this also the purpose of our trip?" Ming Er glanced at Lan Qi.
"Oh, that's not all we want." Lan Qi smiled meaningfully.
"Let's go find out first." Ming Er took the lead and stepped down the cliff. Lan Qi put away the jade fan and followed behind.
This island is not big, so the two of them went down the cliff and walked for an hour before they almost crossed the island, and the coast in front of them was the coast, there were a few boats parked on the shore, and there was a restaurant. At this moment, it is not the time for dinner, there are not many guests, just passers-by who sit in three or two drinking tea and resting, and some boats waiting for guests.
As soon as the two walked in, Ming Er had a bad feeling.
You must know that with the appearance of the two people, the Yingshan where the heroes gather is the focus of attention, not to mention the humble shop far away, from the boss to the passerby to the boat, they all stared at the two of them, all thinking that it was a dream. Especially Lan Qi, there is no need to say anything, just those naturally charming blue eyes have attracted everyone's spirits to fly, and what's more, a young Zhouzi has been full of obsession and can't help but walk towards her.
Ming Er reflexively raised his hand to cover Lan Qi's eyes.
"You ......" Lan Qi was stunned.
"Shut up! Close your eyes! Ming Er said coldly.
Then taking advantage of everyone's infatuation, he pulled Lan Qifei backwards, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared without a trace. And the people in the store saw the immortals flying by, and they woke up like a dream, and their first reaction was to grab one person and ask, Did you see two immortals just now? Could it be that the god of the sea appeared just now?
Ming Er dragged Lan Qi and flew to a place where no one was hiding before stopping.
"Qi Shao's eyes are really unique, it is estimated that he has already found us before we have found Yun Wuya." Ming Er's words were full of anger. This is the first time for the second son, who is as elegant as a fairy, but looking at the person in front of him, he deeply feels that this is indeed a veritable demonic obstacle!
"The second son is as handsome as an immortal, and he is admired everywhere." Lan Qi hid ridicule in his words. For this sworn enemy, even a small loss in words cannot be eaten.
"Where and seven young people are eye-catching."
"Yo, don't be modest, second son, let's talk to each other."
The two of them each snorted coldly, sneering at each other and feeling annoyed at the same time. If it weren't for the reaction of the people in the restaurant just now that alerted the two of them, they would have really neglected the eye-catching appearance.
Each took out bottles and cans from their bosoms and prepared to look easy.
The two old men who appeared in the shop just now were two old men with white hair and beards, but their faces were red and bright, and they knew at a glance that they were the masters of rich and noble families.
The original customers in the store are almost gone, and only the shopkeeper, who is more than half a hundred years old, has gray hair.
As soon as the two entered the store, before they could move, the shopkeeper who was wiping the table looked at the two of them, looked up and down, and spoke first, "The two of you are not from Dongming Island, right?" β
Belch? The two were stunned. Could it be that this small shop is also a secret whistle?
Just thinking about whether to do it, the shopkeeper spoke again, "Don't be surprised, the old man has been running the shop for more than 20 years, and there are a lot of people coming and going, and I can see that you two are not from our island at a glance." β
"The boss's good eye." The old man in Tsing Yi was polite and hugged his fists.
"Hehe...... shopkeeper smiled, "There is a boat outside the store on the main island, and the three coins will send you over, and if you go to the island and ask anyone, you can tell you the way to Beique Palace, and it will be easy to get there." β
Belch? The two were stunned again. They haven't asked for directions, and they haven't said what they want to go to Beique Palace.
The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, and said: "Don't be surprised, the young master has already given an order, and anyone who doesn't look like us in Dongming can just point the way to the Beique Palace." β
"You young masters...... But it's called 'Cloud Boundless'? The old man in purple, who had long eyebrows covering his eyes, asked.
"Hmm." The shopkeeper nodded.
Bang! The table that the shopkeeper was wiping was torn apart and scattered on the floor.
"You...... You ......" The shopkeeper looked at the old man in purple who was about to enter the ground with white eyebrows and hair in horror, how could he have so much strength that he smashed the table with one palm, but his table has been used for 20 years, and it is firm.
"Compensate you." The old man in purple smiled and handed over a silver leaf.
"Ah...... This, much more. The shopkeeper took the silver leaf and shuddered. Although the old man in purple had a smile on his face, it was chilling for no reason, and his eyes under the long eyebrows seemed to be shining with demonic light.
"The boss will take it." The old man in Tsing Yi smiled gently, glanced at the old man in purple, and then turned his gaze back to the shopkeeper, "This friend of mine has been very strong since he was a child, and he accidentally destroyed the boss's table just now, and I apologize on his behalf." He bowed slightly.
"Ah...... No, no. The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped. This old man in Tsing Yi has an elegant bearing, and his smile is like a spring breeze, and he is much more comfortable in front of him.
The old man in Tsing Yi looked at the shopkeeper with an amiable face, "When did your young master explain this?" But what else to say? β
"I confessed before March, and there was nothing else." The shopkeeper replied.
"Thank you, boss." The old man in Tsing Yi hugged his fists.
"No, no." The shopkeeper also followed his example and hugged his fists, but he didn't have such an elegant demeanor, so he gave up.
The two of them said goodbye and left the store, and their smiling faces suddenly turned cold.
Hum! The clouds are endless!
The two looked at each other, and they only felt that each other's outfits were really ridiculous! It took a lot of effort, but who knew that all this had already been in the endless calculations of the clouds, and it was in vain!
Hateful! Annoying!
The clouds are endless!
The two of them gritted their teeth secretly.
The old man in Tsing Yi and the old man in purple crossed the strait by boat, and as soon as they set foot on the main island, they saw a carriage parked on the shore, with ten attendants next to the car, and in front of the car stood two young people, one was dressed as a scholar with smiling eyes, and the other was dressed in brocade and jade, tall and handsome, but with a sinister look between his eyebrows.
Looking at the carriage in front of him, the old man in purple stretched out his hand and put it on the shoulder of the old man in Tsing Yi, and sighed, "Alas, this boat has my old bones upside down, but I can suffer it." His eyes looked at the carriage, "Second brother, the younger brother really can't walk, shall we take the carriage?" β
The old man in Tsing Yi held the old man in purple and said helplessly: "Seventh brother, you have forgotten that we don't have much money, and after paying the boat fare, it is only enough for a meal, where can we afford to hire a carriage." β
The two young men stepped forward, clasped their fists in the appearance of scholars, looked at the two old men with smiling eyes, and said: "In Xia Qu Huailiu, I am waiting for the two of you here on the order of the young master, this carriage is specially prepared for the two, please get on the carriage." β
The old man in purple and the old man in green looked at the carriage in front of them, and then glanced at each other. The old man in purple pouted and said, "Second brother, I don't want to sit in such a broken carriage." β
The old man in Tsing Yi nodded and said, "Yes." This horse is not a horse that travels thousands of miles a day, this car has neither a golden eagle door nor a jade string curtain, it is not magnificent at all, and it is really not worthy of you, seventh brother. β
The young man in brocade came over with a sword in his arms, with a slight contempt in his eyes, and said: "The second prince of Ming and Lan Qi Shaogui are the masters of the martial arts family of the imperial dynasty, and they want to come to live in the golden building and drink jade syrup, but my Dongming Island is a poor place, and there is only such a broken carriage, so please ask the two generals to take a look." β
"Second brother, don't you think this kid's eyes are annoying?" The old man in purple squinted at the young man in brocade, and asked the old man in green with his mouth.
"Hmm." The old man in Tsing Yi nodded again, "And the tone is very big, bragging should be okay." β
Bite! The sound of a sword unsheathed.
"Wan Ai must not be rude." Qu Huailiu stepped forward to stop Wan Ai, a young man in brocade who was facing the two old men of purple and blue, and hugged his fists again, "Second son, seven young men, we are waiting to greet the two of you on the order of the young master." As he spoke, he made a gesture, and an attendant came over with two glasses of wine, "These two glasses of wine are prepared by the young master to show his respect for the two, and he also invites the two to drink them, so that I can send the two to the Beique Palace as soon as possible, the young master has been waiting for a long time." β
With that, the attendant walked towards the two of them with a drink.
The purple-clothed old man sighed βββ Lanqi, "Second son, this young man hates drinking toast the most." β
βββ Minger, an old man in Tsing Yi, also sighed, "Qi Shao, whether it is a toast or a punishment, the wine in Dongming Island is not delicious." β
"So ......" Lan Qi looked at Ming Er.
Mingji shook his head, "Don't drink." β
"Leave it to you!"
Wan Ai snorted coldly, and the sword was sharp and swept straight towards Ming Er, and at the same time, Qu Huailiu pounced on Lan Qi.
It's just that Dongming's master's sudden attack didn't work. Ming Ergongzi unhurriedly raised his sleeves and swept it, and the sword approaching his neck flashed to the side, and then no matter how fast and ruthless Wan Ai's sword was, he could cut off the sword momentum with a finger and a palm at will, Ren Wan Ai's sword was like a storm or a torrential rain, his body was like a fallen leaf, swaying and flying with the wind, and the sword was always a little bit away from his body.
And on the contrary to Ming Er, Lan Qiyu fanned out his sleeves, like a short blade in his hand, the white light was dazzling, but the move only pierced Qu Huailiu's eyes, no matter how he dodged or counterattacked, the jade fan was not three inches away from him.
After fighting for a while, Lan Qi's joking voice sounded, "Second son, are your muscles loose?" β
"Almost." Ming Er replied gently.
"Then don't play."
"Okay."
As soon as the words fell, Ming Er's fluttering figure no longer moved with the sword wind, Wan Ai only felt that there was a high mountain in front of him, and the sword move was handed out, and it could not be crossed or pierced, and a force pressed on the top.
At the same time, Lan Qi had a jade fan in his hand, Qu Huailiu only felt that the sky seemed to be covered with snow in front of him, only full of white, and there was no way to avoid it, knowing that these two people were indeed as the young master said, they were definitely not invincible, and shouted at the moment: "Retreat!" With a wave of his left and right hands at the same time, a little black light shone directly at Ming Er, and a thing that shone with crystal light covered Lan Qi.
Ming Er waved his sleeves to sweep away the little black light, Lan Qi Zeyu fan swirled, absorbing all the crystal light on the fan, but Wan Ai and Qu Huailiu had already taken advantage of this moment to fly away, and the entourage also left quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I'm waiting for the two of you, but the two of you don't know what to do." In the distance, Qu Huailiu's voice came.
The second son of Ming didn't chase anyone, flicked his sleeves, and said with a gentle smile: "It seems that it will be dark in the future." β
Lan Qi, on the other hand, was studying the things on the jade fan, which were white beads the size of soybeans, crystal clear, and refracted dazzling light under the bright sun.
"It turned out to be ice beads." She picked one up and put it in the palm of her hand, rolling it from side to side, it was cool, very comfortable, but the ice bead quickly melted into a drop of water, and then melted into the palm of her hand, at that moment, a chill penetrated through her heart, and Lan Qi couldn't help but shiver. She moved her eyebrows, then handed the jade fan to Ming Er with a smile, and said, "Second son, do you want to play with one?" β
The corners of Ming Er's eyes twitched, and he said, "The seven young children's hearts are not broken, just keep them to play by themselves." β
Lan Qi pouted, "It's boring." The jade fan flicked off, and the ice beads instantly fell into the dust.
The Dongming Islands are composed of 37 islands of all sizes, the central main island is the largest island, about the size of a state of the imperial empire, consisting of four cities to form a city, respectively located in the east, west, north and south of the four directions, the center of the four cities is a high mountain, on the north peak of the high mountain stands a palace, that is the symbol of the supreme authority of the Dongming Islandβββ Beique Palace, the place where the lord of the Dongming Islands resides.
On this day, a young couple came outside the southern city, the husband was dressed in green cloth, his face was yellow and slightly sickly, but his body was very long, and the wife was dressed in a light green dress, with a gauze hat on her head, and the hanging gauze curtain covered her eyebrows and eyes. Seeing that the two of them behaved very intimately, they wanted to get married soon, and it was the time of Yan'er.
These two people are Ming Er and Lan Qi. In order to avoid people's eyes, the two changed their dresses, but it was Lan Qi's idea to pretend to be husband and wife, the reason was that the people of Dongming Island had never seen her women's clothes, so a man and a woman on the road would definitely not attract the attention of Dongming Island, of course, secretly she wanted to tease the mind of the second son of Ming. As for the gauze hat on Lan Qi's head, it was specially prepared by the second prince of Ming, the reason was to cover up the source of all the troubles βββ Lan Qi's blue eyes.
The two entered Nancheng in the evening, and then stayed at an inn, which was not big or small, and the business was neither good nor bad, and it was not very eye-catching to come to such a couple.
Couples, of course, are a room.
When the two entered the room, the first thing Lan Qi did was to take off the gauze hat on his head. "This thing is really an eyesore." Throw the gauze hat on the table, raise your hand and press the eyebrows, the gauze curtain is always dangling in front of your eyes, which makes your eyes very uncomfortable.
The second son of Ming raised his head and touched his face, and the disfiguring medicine was uncomfortable on his face.
Fortunately, after a while, the shopkeeper sent hot water to wash the dust of the guests. When the knock on the door sounded, Lan Qi flashed into the screen, and before he could come out, another shopkeeper brought hot tea and hot rice.
After sending Xiao Er away, Ming Er first washed off the disfigurement medicine on his face, and Lan Qi stretched his neck to smell the food and was about to chew it.
Ming Er washed his face and sat back at the table, and saw Lan Qi with a broken face.
"The hateful cloud is boundless, and he doesn't even let people eat a good meal or a good dish!" Lan Qibi's eyes were full of demonic light.
Ming Er didn't have to look at the food and tea anymore, he knew that he had been poisoned.
The two of them each touched their shriveled stomachs, secretly suppressed their hunger, but they were helpless. Although there is a precedent for hunger and thirst on a desert island, thinking that the vibrant Dongming Island will never starve, who would have thought that Yun Wuya would do such a desperate job.
