The islander's house

Outside, it was a dark night that could not be dissolved, and the bright moonlight poured like water on the gate of the island lord's mansion, and the two guards who were guarding it couldn't help but fall asleep.

They have been trembling for the past few days, and in order to catch the group of people who have fled, the guards from all over the house have been dispatched, and there has been no good news so far.

"Hey! Don't sleep too hard! Watch out for those people who take advantage of the darkness of the night to come back! ”

The guard standing on the right awoke suddenly, rubbing his sleepy eyes and yawning, and he reached out and shook his companion violently, and stood up straight with his weapon leaning against the door.

Recently, it has not been peaceful here, and the owner of the island has also been unable to sleep, and a few days ago the owner and the little master had a dispute in the house, so that the servants up and down the house did not even dare to take a breath.

It's probably about the nineteen princes, it is said that they have a lot to do with the Extremely Cold Castle, you must know that these four words are the thorns in the heart of the island owner, and most people dare not mention them casually.

If the other party is really a person from the Extreme Cold Castle, he must have an ulterior motive, otherwise why would he have a close relationship with the little young master?

As subordinates, they are not qualified to understand the things above, they just need to keep their jobs! The two guards couldn't help but yawn again, and suddenly there was a muffled sound from the door behind them, as if someone was knocking.

They tightened their breathing, as if they were greatly frightened, and opened the door tremblingly to see that it was the owner of the island! It's been three watches now, why hasn't he gone into the room to rest?

"Hello owner!"

The two guards hurriedly saluted, ready to be sent at any time, and the owner of Dongdao Island did not have the serious and cold appearance of the day, his eyes were a little sad, and he glanced at them lightly.

This time period is the most likely point to go wrong, and he is going to go to the Du Pagoda in the mansion to have a look, and stop by to remind them to strengthen their defense.

"No one can be allowed to approach the pagoda without my permission."

The islander's voice was low, and the words he said were loud, which made this cold night a little more solemn. The two guards nodded frequently, saluted respectfully, and watched the island master walk in the direction of the Du Pagoda.

Du Pagoda carries the heavy history of the East Island, all the people who have made outstanding contributions to the East Island will be remembered in the form of spirit tablets, many islanders will enter the Du Pagoda on a specific open day to worship those ancestors, and the culture of the East Island, the owner of the family is responsible for sorting out the genealogy of the past generations, and binding these genealogies into books, leaving them in the library on the second floor as a generational commemoration. The first and second floors of the Pagoda are only open at certain times, and each time they open, they are heavily guarded and no one is allowed to cross them.

From the third layer onwards is the owner's private domain, he likes to collect cold weapons, as well as a variety of war-specific holy weapons, each of which is said to be a rare treasure in the world, and a casual piece is worth a fortune. As for the fourth floor of the Pagoda, it is a mystery that most people cannot solve for eternity, and the owner of the island only allows his immediate family members to enter, and even if he usually enters it himself, he must be vigilant.

The guards watched silently as his back disappeared into the entrance of the Du Pagoda before they relaxed and continued their work. And after entering the interior of the Pagoda, the owner of Dongdao Island slowly breathed a sigh of relief, only this is the place that can give him a real sense of security.

In the years he has been in charge of East Island, he has experienced too many changes and plots, and he has seen through the warmth and coldness of the world, so he will build a world of his own on the fourth layer.

He crept up on the stairs of the fourth floor with his hands behind his back, as if he was worried that he would disturb the peace of the pioneers on the first floor.

There was not much noble and elegant decoration here, but just an antique room, similar to the study of the island owner's house, with all kinds of spiritual jade hanging on the walls, each of which shone in the moonlight, and he couldn't put it down. boundless

The owner of the island remembered what was going on, he took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, and was about to hang it in a blank place, but fell into boundless contemplation.

This jade pendant is the trophy obtained by the masters of the East Island after they went to slaughter the Extremely Cold Castle, and there is a blood color under the faint green luster, which should be stained with the blood of the previous owner.

"Who the hell are you?"

His fingers rubbed the jade pendant gently, and the cold touch made him sober up from his contemplation, and he pursed his lips and came to a conclusion.

Those people were the people of the Extreme Cold Castle, and they went to great lengths to come here to avenge the slaughter of the city. Just that day, after he saw Hua Cheng's jade pendant, he instinctively thought of this piece, there are few jade pendants in the world that are exactly the same, unless they are originally a pair.

Hua Cheng didn't seem to know about the past, and he didn't show a look of resentment at first, but the owner of the island still couldn't rest assured, not knowing at the time didn't mean never knowing, and when the other party reacted, maybe his own death would also come.

He has always been a precautionary person, and he will not risk anything for no reason, especially with the safety of the entire East Island.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless, I'm the kind of person I am."

He suddenly clenched the jade pendant in his hand, so strong that he almost crushed it. If the other party insists on seeking revenge, he has no choice but to bite the bullet!

The person who pursued and killed the Nineteenth Prince had not yet come with definite news, which kept the island owner awake all night, and he paced to the window, raised his head to admire the bright moon, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

Early the next morning, Ouyang Huaiyu and Xia Zhixue walked side by side in front, followed by Lotus and Hua Cheng, and the four of them discussed for a night, preparing to return to Dongdao Mansion and give those people a little color.

"Be careful, there are a lot of people lurking around here."

The middle-aged man walked up to them in a black robe, holding two large plates of meat buns in his hand. It's their breakfast. Hua Cheng and Lotus both stood up and took it, and made a large pot of hot tea for everyone, ready to leave after breakfast.

Ouyang Huaiyu's face was not very good-looking, he quietly stared at the man sitting on the Taishi chair and sipping fragrant tea, and always felt that there were some unknown secrets hidden in his body.

Maybe some of these secrets have something to do with him, and when he thinks of the first time they met, the man stopped talking to him, and they were hunted down, and they were so coincidentally helped.

Xia Zhixue cautiously looked at his expression, and then followed his gaze to the man's body, and suddenly had an answer in his heart.

"It's okay, I'm with you."

Her little hand gently covered his broad palm, as if she was very greedy for the warmth of the palm, and the hands of the two people were tightly held under the table of the Eight Immortals, and Ouyang Huaiyu squeezed out a smiling face, indicating that he was fine.

Half an hour passed, and they completely wiped out the two large plates of meat buns, and the middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at them lightly, nodded and said.

"A few of them are gone."
