Qianteng world, Treasure Pavilion.

In the dead of night, after a busy day, the Treasure Pavilion closed, and everyone went to rest early and fell asleep.

At night, only the lonely moon and stars are dotted.

Xu Chengqing, the housekeeper of the Treasure Pavilion this night, couldn't sleep for some reason.

Moonlight crept into the window.

He closed his eyes, and when he finally felt a little sleepy, he heard the sound of a fast horse.

It's so late, who's riding in the middle of the night?

Xu Chengqing was puzzled, but found some slight noises coming from downstairs. He had a very good ear, so he knew it was a knock at the door.

He thought about it, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

Today, there was some speculation, but he still asked vigilantly from the others: "Who is it?" ”

"Don't worry, it's me."

Xu Chengqing immediately recognized this voice, this was the pavilion master who had been out for a long time-Zuo Xuanming.

He immediately opened the door, only to see a man wearing a mask and seemingly bloody on his body.

The man took off his mask, revealing a handsome face, which for some reason didn't look bloody.

Xu Chengqing was surprised: "Pavilion master, you ......"

"I'm fine, don't worry." Zuo Xuanming said.

Xu Chengqing: "It's so late, why did the pavilion master hurry back, didn't he deal with the 'over there' before." ”

Zuo Xuanming: "Something happened. Recently, you've heard about Sheng Canglan, right? ”

Xu Chengqing: "This matter, presumably in the world of moving vines, everyone already knows about it. ”

Zuo Xuanming was silent for a while, and took out a black brocade box from his arms, with dark golden lines looming on it.

He opened the brocade box, and inside lay a shining jade.

The whole jade is in the shape of a crescent, but the tail is downwards and hooked back. The jade as a whole is a kind of demonic red, and if you stare at it for a long time, you will even have the illusion that there is blood flowing inside.

"This is ......" Xu Chengqing was working in the Treasure Pavilion, and naturally he had seen countless strange treasures, and he concluded at a glance that the things in front of him must be first-class treasures.

Zuo Xuanming didn't answer, he clutched the brocade box in his hand tightly.

He stared at the blood jade, a complicated expression appeared in his eyes, and a look of hesitation flashed.

Halfway, he shook his head, closed the brocade box, and sealed it.

"Do you want to put it in the store, or in the auction house, or in the collection warehouse?" Xu Chengqing asked tentatively.

"No, it's just for someone to save for a while." Zuo Xuanming shook his head.

Although Xu Chengqing was puzzled, he also resisted the curiosity in his heart.

Zuo Xuanming thought for a moment, as if he had made some decision.

He said to Xu Chengqing: "I will go on a long trip tomorrow, and when the time comes, please do something for me." ”

****

Duan Qianxiao woke up in the afternoon that day.

He woke up in a hidden corner, dizzy and aching.

Why am I here? He thought a little confused.

Duan Qianxiao remembered that night, after Qingqiu fainted in front of Sheng Canglan's coffin, he went to the back mountain of Canglan Hall alone.

In the past, he met Sheng Canglan and Zhuang Huayuan by fate, and buried a few jars of spirits under the Guling fruit tree. The wine is made in Sheng Canglan, and he has always been good at this.

Duan Qianxiao used to always turn to Zhuang Huayuan and come to Canglan Hall together to find Sheng Canglan to beg for wine.

Often Duan Qianxiao will climb to the top of the palace at night, when the wind and the moon are there, and the stars are hanging in the sky. Zhuang Huayuan was the youngest among them, and he was always not allowed to drink too much of the wine brewed by Sheng Canglan.

And Duan Qianxiao was always drunk, and began to play drunk under the moonlight.

Now......

Sheng Canglan was not there, Zhuang Huayuan didn't know why, he only sent someone to give gifts at the funeral, and he was not present.

The world is unpredictable.

Duan Qianxiao smiled bitterly, climbed to the top of the hall, turned on the spirits, and drank alone.

"I'm the only one who drinks this wine from now on."

"Let's have a good drink today, I still have to save some in the future." After all, after drinking it, there is no more.

Duan Qianxun raised the wine jar and sprinkled it into the air against the bright moon—

A silver thread flowed down, and the crisp aroma of wine spread.

He said with a smile: "Brother Canglan, how does it taste?" ”

"When Qingqiu has the ability to protect himself, I will apply to the master and go to the four directions."

"I remember you used to say that you wanted to find a place to relax, and every day you put your love on the mountains and rivers, and no longer worry about so much. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and you are tired all these years, right? ”

"In this world, I will go to see it for you in the future."

……

No one responded.

In the quiet of the night, only the leafy trees stand still, swaying slightly and making a slow rustling sound.

Under the moonlight, Duan Qianxiao's shadow was dragged for a long time, a little more lonely. He tilted his head slightly, his side face was handsome and handsome, but there seemed to be a sporadic hazy light in his eyes.

There seems to be a strange aroma lingering on the tip of the nose.

Duan Qianxiao looked at Gu Yue, not getting drunk and a little more drunk.

He muttered, "Why is this wine so fragrant, hmm......"

Before he could finish speaking, he lost consciousness.

……

The breeze hit and washed Duan Qianxiao's somewhat dizzy head.

It's a little cold.

After recalling last night, Duan Qianxiao moved his stiff body and was about to get up, only then did he realize that something was wrong.

"Oh my God, where's my clothes!?"

His clothes were stripped naked, perhaps because he was afraid of his cold, and there were layers of dead leaves on them, and a few black feathers stood alone on them.

Duan Qianxiao: "......"

It can't be that you got drunk last night, right?

He took a deep breath and told himself not to be angry. The first priority is to find the waiters first, tell them to get a piece of clothing for themselves, and then figure out what is going on.

A quarter of an hour later, Duan Qianxun got dressed and his face was expressionless.

"Duan Gongzi, what's wrong?" A waiter asked, puzzled.

Duan Qianxun said he didn't want to answer.

He had examined his body and found no wounds. And his storage ring and some important items are also placed in the place where he woke up.

In that case, what is this man doing with his clothes?

Peculiar fetishes?

Duan Qianxiao's heart was full of alarm bells.

He examined his body again and sighed deeply when he found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Where is Qingqiu now?" Duan Qianxiao asked.

Waiter: "Probably still resting in her quarters." ”

Duan Qianxiao: "I'll go and see her current situation, you can get busy first." ”

Waiter: "Okay. ”

He thought a little strangely, didn't Duan Gongzi just go to visit Miss Qingqiu, why did he go again?

However, the question was not important, and it was quickly forgotten by the waiter.

……

Duan Qianxiao is very familiar with the route of Canglan Hall because he is often a guest.

He drove through the winding path to Qingqiu's residence.

As he walked, he rubbed the black feather he had just picked up from the pile of leaves in his hand.

Duan Qianxiao frowned slightly.

He felt a trace of demonic power on this, and he was sure that he was a person from the demon world.

But who is this man? And what is the purpose?

Soon he was outside the side hall, and he walked inside, and a warm feeling came to his face.

Because Duan Qianxiao was familiar with Sheng Canglan, he naturally knew that Chi Qingqiu was not as weak and incompetent as the outside world said.

Chi Qingqiu rarely goes out and is not eager to socialize with people, but this does not mean that she is not sophisticated.

He still remembered the look of satisfaction in Sheng Canglan's eyes when he mentioned his apprentice, and even said that Chi Qingqiu had a little bit of his demeanor back then.

This is a very high evaluation, after all, Sheng Canglan was an amazing character when he was young.

Thinking of this, Duan Qianxiao's eyes were a little gloomy.

Qingqiu must be even more sad, no matter how calm she pretends to be on the surface, she is just a young girl with just the right fragrance.

After Sheng Canglan left, there was no one to protect her. And it has always been that people go to tea and cool, and people's hearts are fickle.

Even if it was for Sheng Canglan, he had to take care of her for a minute or two.

Thinking of this, Duan Qianxiao raised his head.

In front of me is a large green vine, and the wine under the vine in a daze.

The sunlight reflected on her face through the cracks in the vines, her skin glowing white in the sun, and her black pupils were a beautiful brown in the light.

As if noticing him, Mu Jiujiu raised his eyelids and looked at Duan Qianxiao.

There is inquiry hidden in the depths of the gaze.

Duan Qianxiao sighed, and countless thoughts came to his heart.

He whispered, "Qingqiu, you ......"

Before a word of comfort could be spoken, Mu Jiujiu frowned on the other side and said, "Birdman in black, why are you back again!?" ”

This man is blatantly holding a black feather in his hand!

Duan Qianxiao: "? ”

"You're still addicted to this transformation? Say, what's the matter? Don't ask for news about the finned snow fish, you have to eat it yourself, go to the snow valley to find it. ”

Duan Qianxiao: "......"
