After that bamboo forest is the yard where she temporarily lives here, this person is blocked here, it seems that he came to wait for her, thinking of this, Yue Yunchu looked at the back in front of her and stood still, the person in front of the bamboo forest seemed to have a sense and slowly turned around, and after seeing her, she first took a moment, and then walked a few steps forward, stepping out of the shadow, Yue Yunchu finally saw the outline of the face of the person who came.

It's Yan Xingge, how could he be here, didn't he leave a few hours ago, could it be that he has been waiting here without seeing her, Yue Yunchu was a little confused, but then denied this idea, if he had the kind of heart that was willing to wait for a few hours, they would not have become so estranged.

Yue Yunchu pursed her lips, looked at him deeply, and then looked straight ahead, and walked out of the corridor, she had no lamp in her hand, and there was no entourage to accompany her, walking on the stone path by taking advantage of the approaching sky, the bamboo forests on both sides were popping in the breeze, and the quiet atmosphere was a little inexplicably obscure.

Yue Yunchu could feel a somewhat complicated gaze that had never left her since just now, which made her a little awkward, but she still pretended not to know, when the two were about to stagger, Yan Xingge stretched out her arm to stop her, and he was a little surprised for a while, he originally just wanted to watch her come back safely and go back, but his body reacted faster than his brain.

"What are you doing?" Yue Yun didn't look at him at first, and her voice was slightly impatient.

Although Yan Xingge is a civil official, his aunt is the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion after all, and she has been loved by the Guogong since she was a child, and she authorized him to follow Xiahou's children to teach together, so his figure is more prosperous and upright than the ordinary Confucian civil officials, hearing Yue Yunchu's question, he closed his eyes lightly and sighed, and said slightly sideways: "I...... I just want to make sure you're back safely, and I'm leaving. ”

"In the dead of night, there is a difference between men and women, Yan Zhizhou has forgotten respect and humility and great defense today?" Yue Yunchu said lightly, and snorted coldly with some mockery, "The palace is fine, there is Lao Yan Zhizhou to worry about, so let's retreat if there is nothing to do." With that, he took a half-step to the other side, ready to walk around his arm.

Fortunately, the night was unknown, and Yan Xingge's face was hot when he heard this, "Wait." He hesitated, but he still shouted out to stop Yue Yunchu, turned around and walked in front of her, his long figure covered the breeze, wrapped Yue Yunchu in the shadows, took out a beautifully embroidered purse and handed it to her, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's birthday is approaching, and the next official ...... A little bit of a light gift......"

"No, I get it." Yue Yunchu interrupted him in a cold voice, and swept the things in his hand, but his eyes were sour.

Since she chose to stay away in the first place, she shouldn't provoke her anymore, although she has never understood the taste of love, she will never let herself sink into it, nor do anything that makes her uncomfortable.

But Yan Xingge didn't know what stimulation he was getting at the moment, he was uncharacteristically tough, took Yue Yunchu's hand, and put the purse in her palm, "If Your Highness doesn't like it, you can lose it." Then he strode away.

Yue Yunchu was a little stunned for a while, Yan Xingge had never had such an attitude towards her, for a while she was a little confused, what that person meant, but she hated her heart that was a little shaken at the moment, she raised her hand and threw the purse out, as the purse landed, there was a muffled sound of "tom", and a thing slipped out of the purse, shining with a faint brilliance on the dark bamboo forest path.

Confused, Yue Yunchu stepped forward and slowly squatted down, reached out to pick up the purse and the thing, took a closer look, it turned out to be a jade lock, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise, she flipped over and looked at it for a while, a wry smile appeared on her lips, she slowly clenched the jade lock, and muttered to herself: "This thing was actually obtained by him, bastard, do you know what it means ......to send a jade lock to ...... 'Lixia Festival'"

Behind the pillars of the corridor not far away, the originally upright figure hidden in the shadows was slightly rickety at this time, his face was white and cold sweating, his hand was on his left chest, his fingers gradually tightened with the trembling of his body, forming a hideous fold on his clothes, and the other hand supported the pillar to reveal a pair of bright eyes, staring at the beautiful back, watching her slowly get up and gradually disappear into the depths of the bamboo forest.

I think that he promised His Majesty to come to Liangzhou for the sake of Yuehua County, and for the various legends and historical records of Yinyang Mountain, except for the old man of Rui Village, he knows more about the tradition of the 'Lixia Festival' than anyone here.

Stabilizing his body a little, he gestured to the air, and from the darkness flashed two people stepped forward to support him, and said in unison: "Master." Yan Xingge reluctantly stared at the depths of the bamboo forest, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

At the foot of Yin Mountain, on the shore of Ruicun Lake

Wan Yuan sat on the rocky beach, waiting for Bai Ran, who had just gone to pick fruits, although the surroundings were dim, but she was very at ease, Bai Ran set up an enchantment within three feet of her before leaving, and the world surrounded by colorful halos was bright, and she was a little worried that she would be discovered at first, but Bai Ran told her that the enchantment was inaccessible to ordinary people, and the light here could only be seen by those who could enter the enchantment.

Staring at the halo for a while, and when she was a little drowsy, she saw a man walking along the shore of the lake, slightly rickety, walking towards the barrier with a cane. Wu Yuan suddenly felt a little strange, it stands to reason that no one should have appeared here at this hour, could it be a "water ghost?" She was a little frightened, looked left and right to see that there was no trace of Bai Ran, and she could run away if she picked a fruit, she knew that she shouldn't be greedy, she blamed herself while watching the "water ghost" walk towards the enchantment.

It wasn't until the edge of the enchantment that the "water ghost" was still just a vague outline, and Wu Yuan looked at him with wide eyes in horror, until the originally solid enchantment was suddenly opened by him like a soft cloth curtain and walked in, she put her mind at ease, seeing her exhale heavily, relaxed, the "water ghost" suddenly laughed, and asked at Wu Yuan: "I was outside the enchantment just now, you were obviously scared to death, why did I come in, but you are not afraid?" ”

Wu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the person carefully, paused to stand up, and said: "I thought it was a 'water ghost', until the old man you entered the enchantment, and when you saw your feet, you knew that you were not a ghost, and besides, the person who set up the enchantment said that not just anyone can enter, then I have nothing to fear." ”

It turned out that the water ghost was the old man who changed back into his outfit, and at this time, he was standing in the bright enchantment with a casual appearance and looked at Wu Yuan with interest, and when he heard her reply, he stroked his beard and laughed, and then said: "You female doll is still so interesting." ”

Wu Yuan looked at him with some puzzlement: "Or?" Grandpa has seen me before? The old man nodded, walked a few steps further, looked at the little girl in front of him lightly, until he saw the jade lock hanging around her neck, his brows were slightly furrowed and his expression was unknown, but he only recovered in an instant, "En." With a sigh, he walked in quietly again, but his eyes never left the jade lock.

"Huh? When, I don't remember at all. Wu Yuan asked curiously.

"Well, it's been a long time, and I can't remember." About a hundred years ago, the old man thought, after confirming the jade lock, he turned around and sat down next to Wu Yuan, "Girl, sit down too, the old man can't stand for too long." ”

Wu Yuan felt that he might have been seen by this grandfather when he secretly went out of the mountain before, but now that he was old and had a bad memory, it was normal, and he saw that he looked tired, so he sat down next to him and chatted with him: "Why is grandpa still walking by the lake at this hour, it is very dangerous, what about your family?" ”

"Family? There is no family anymore, only an unfilial grandson, who runs all day and night without a trace, has no home, and follows his 'fox friends and dog friends' every day, and now I don't know where I went. ”

At this time, in the house of Yangshan Yao Gu Leran, Zheng Pengjian, who was still in a coma, had just been placed, and suddenly trembled slightly, and his nose moved lightly a few times, Leran looked at him in surprise, just wanted to open his mouth and saw that he was not moving, scratched his forehead, felt inexplicable, and was quiet for a moment There was nothing abnormal, and he turned around and walked out of the house.

In the Yin Mountain Forest, Bai Ran, who was still picking fruits, suddenly felt that his nose was itchy, waiting to be released, and then he pressed down, blinked, touched his nose, and said strangely, but he didn't think about it deeply.

In the bright enchantment, Wan Yuan looked at the old man's expression, knowing that although he was scolding his grandson in his mouth, he must be very worried in his heart, and comforted him one by one: "Grandpa, don't think too much, Jiren has his own natural appearance, your grandson must be good now, someone told me, 'Everyone has their own way to go, and if you see enough scenery along the way, you will not be in vain in this life', so I think your grandson must be a person with great ambitions, just look at your grandfather's demeanor." ”

"Hahaha, 'everyone has their own way to go' is good, and it's really a girl's caring." The old man was amused by Wan Yuan's words, "That kid is hard, there really won't be anything." His eyes looked at the lake, and his voice was full of love.

Turning his head to look at Wu Yuan again, he asked, "Then why are you here, girl?" ”

"I ...... I'm waiting...... Waiting for my "Wu Yuan, I couldn't find a suitable identity for Bai Ran for a while, and there was some confusion between my words.

"Waiting for your 'beloved'?" The old man looked at her with a look of banter.

Wan Yuan's eyes widened in shock and looked at the old man, "Master...... Grandpa, you, don't talk nonsense, I'm only a young student now, how can I get a good person, you, don't think about it. Wu Yuan was about to cry, this was the second person to say this about her and Bai Ran, and she was about to have the heart to throw herself into the lake.

"Hehe, don't be shy, grandpa also guessed blindly when he saw that you were wearing a jade lock, don't be angry." The old man said with a smile.

"Huh? Jade locks? What does this have to do with that? Don't hide it from grandpa, this jade lock is a gift from a friend, and you are the second to say this until last night, but I don't know why. Wu Yuan was a little stunned, put away his shyness, and asked the old man for advice.

"Don't you know? This 'Lixia Festival' is a festival that has been passed down from Yuehua Town for thousands of years, and the nearby Rui Village has been spreading the 'Jade Deed' tradition of the former Shenxing tribe. The old man knew at this time that this little girl was probably "deceived" by someone when she wore a jade lock.

"The 'Jade Deed' tradition?" Woo Yuan muttered to himself.
