Celestial Empire, Holy Heavenly City

To the southwest of the city, there is a quiet and long, leafy street, especially at night, when the dim lights of the red lanterns are even more secluded and mysterious.

Walking down the street, a short distance away, there is a mansion, the size of which can be seen from the walls around it. Two stone lions stand in front of the door at the entrance of the mansion, and the image of the lion is carved lifelike, like a living thing.

Standing at the door and raising his head, he could see a plaque made of black nanmu hanging on it, with three words "Murong Mansion" inscribed on it.

This is the Murong family, one of the five major families of the Celestial Empire.

When you enter the house, you will be greeted by an empty and quiet road, paved with stones, rows of greenery, and flower beds embedded in it. Bypassing these greens, along the road, the red bricks, green tiles and white stone walls show that large and small houses fall in all directions.

At this time, in the Murong Mansion, the houses were scattered and flickering with dim lights.

Passing through a house and then a cluster of houses, passing through a round door at the back of one of the houses, the night breeze fills the air with a fresh fragrance, and as far as the eye can see, there is a pond of turquoise lotuses. Under the moonlight at night, there are several red and white lotus flowers hiding in the haze. Although it is difficult to see the panorama, it gives people a kind of artistic conception of beauty.

That kind of beauty carries the depth of the night.

Walking along the white stone path in the lotus pond, you will come to a pavilion with several pavilions in the pond that are used to rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Walking around the pavilion, I saw several houses in front of me.

In the dark, one of these houses stands out.

The houses are more ornate and elaborate than the others, with lanterns of various colors hanging under the eaves, which twinkle in the night. There are various flower beds on the periphery of the house, and there are rockeries in the flower group, which are scattered.

The lights were on in the room, and from time to time there was the sound of talking.

Approaching and listening, the voice is an old and a young, through the window paper, you can see two shadows, a girl and a middle-aged man, are sitting in the room talking,

Touch......

There was a slight sound of a teacup falling on the table in the room, and then the voice of the girl in the room was heard.

"Why, Dad? Why me?"

There was a slight resentment and anger in the girl's voice, but the tone of this anger was not particularly loud in front of the man. It can be heard that the girl is not out of fear or fear, but out of respect for the middle-aged man.

"Ahem... cough..."The middle-aged man coughed a few times, which showed that his health was not good, and then, he looked at the girl and said seriously: "Yiyi, now my father's health is getting worse and worse, maybe one day..."

Hearing this, the girl hurriedly held the man's hand and said, "Dad, don't talk nonsense, you are in good health, nothing will happen." ”

Hearing what the girl said, the man patted the girl's hand with a kind smile, "Dad's body, Dad knows in his heart that now that our Murong family is weak, we need Xuanwangfu to rely on, and besides, Dad and Xuan Wangye are good friends, and Xuan Wangye will definitely treat you well." ”

"Dad, I don't want to marry into Xuanwangfu, I just want to stay with you all the time. The girl pulled the man and said.

The man looked at the girl, didn't speak for a long time, his eyes were full of kindness and love, and then he spoke: "Yiyi, Dad is worried about you, how does your second uncle treat you?

"Yi Yi understands"

How can a girl not know that she has no mother since she was a child, she was brought up by her father, and she loves herself very much, for fear of being hurt in the slightest. And the girl can clearly remember the man's earnest teachings to the girl when she was young.

In this environment, the girl's heart is also more precocious than ordinary people, and in order not to be bullied by others, she works hard to cultivate, plus talent, and now she is also a leader among her peers.

There are some truths, she understands them very well in her heart, but she simply wants to be an ignorant child in front of her father.

The man said again: "The matter of marriage, Dad has already discussed with Prince Xuan, for which son to marry, this is decided by Prince Xuan, no matter who it is, Dad believes that he will not treat you badly, cough ....."

The girl didn't speak, didn't cry, didn't make trouble, didn't refute, it was tacit. Although she was very reluctant in her heart, she knew very well in her heart that the situation in front of her was the only way.

Although the man did not say who the girl was going to marry, from the man's gaze, the relieved gaze, it can be seen that the man actually has the answer in his heart, and he accepts it.

The man's words, the girl listened to her heart, and her clear eyes were as clear as the bright moon hanging in the sky. Looking at the hanging moon outside the window, his eyes were dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking or what he was expecting.

Two Sleeves Villa

In a brightly lit room, Ling Xuan was ready to fall asleep, and when he got to bed, the lights went out.

Ling Xuan closed his eyes, did not fall asleep, thoughtfully. Tossing and turning, it was difficult to sleep, Ling Xuan's heart was beating "bang", and he felt as if something was about to happen.

After a few moments, the night was deeper, Ling Xuan still didn't feel sleepy, slowly opened his eyes, and looked through the doors and windows at the silver glow of the moon, which made the night not so dark.

Suddenly, a bright shadow flashed outside the door, much brighter than the silver glow of the night, and this shadow moved, passing through the door.

Ling Xuan clearly saw that it was a glowing elk.

Ling Xuan's curiosity drove him to go out and have a look, so he got out of bed, pushed open the door, and followed the glowing elk.

It was a white deer.

Bailu didn't care about Ling Xuan who was following behind him, he didn't look back, he just ran forward blindly. Ling Xuan didn't know where Bailu was going, he just followed, and he vaguely felt that Bailu seemed to be guiding something.

Follow Bailu all the way, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and not far in front of it is the forbidden land of the Two Sleeves Villa - a place that people do not want to step into, called: Tianlei Peak.

The reason why Tianlei Peak is a forbidden place is because of its danger, and by the name, this place is often struck by lightning, as if there is something here that attracts thunder.

Heavenly Thunder Peak, Ling Xuan hadn't been in since he came here, and he didn't dare to take this risk easily without cultivation.

Why did Bailu bring me here?

Doubts appeared in Ling Xuan's heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Lu ran directly into the Heavenly Thunder Peak, standing not far from the Heavenly Thunder Peak, Ling Xuan stopped, he hesitated.

Bailu entered Tianlei Peak and jumped on a large stone in the middle, the stone was very large, and it was very different from the surrounding stones, it was a stone statue, a stone statue of a person, but it did not have a head.

Bai Lu stood on the broken stone statue and looked back at Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan still didn't move, and Bai Lu didn't move, just looked at Ling Xuan.

Ling Xuan didn't know what Bailu meant, as if he was giving some hint.

Can't get over it?

Ling Xuan pondered for a moment, and finally walked towards Heavenly Thunder Peak. Ling Xuan was very cautious, he knew that this Heavenly Thunder Peak was very dangerous, and without the slightest resistance, he would be in danger at any time, and even his life could not be guaranteed.

When he came to Bailu and looked at Bailu, he naturally saw the broken stone statue, and he knew that the stone statue should have suffered a lightning strike. Bailu also looked at Ling Xuan, and then Ling Xuan suddenly spoke, "Why did you guide me here?"

Bai Lu naturally couldn't speak, and still looked at Ling Xuan motionlessly, without any movement.
