"Wow! This is Cloud City! Since the carriage entered the city gate, Song Qingyin's head has never been withdrawn from the small window. The roadside scenery is overwhelming, the streets and alleys are full of hawkers and pedestrians, and the teahouses and liquor shops are bustling as far as the eye can see, and the smiling guys shout loudly outside the store to attract customers. The aroma of food and fat powder wafts freely in the air, arousing people's appetite and carrying infinite reverie.

Xiao Minglan also picked up the corner of the door curtain and chuckled: "This Cloud City is called 'the prosperous place in the world', it is the most prosperous among the thirteen cities, there are many places for singing and dancing here, and the literati prefer to linger here, so Cloud City is also called 'Fengyue City' by the world." ”

Song Qingyin said curiously: "Sister Lan, you seem to be familiar with this place?" ”

Xiao Minglan lowered his eyes and looked nostalgic, "A few years ago, I came here with my brothers in search of a taste of spiritual grass, but I didn't find the spiritual grass, but I was deeply impressed by this place. ”

"Hey, I've heard another rumor," Cheng Ye picked up on their words from the outside, "It means that this Cloud City is a small remote city, and it didn't even have a name at that time." But the daughter of the proprietor of the only liquor shop in the city was of outstanding appearance and played a good lute, and passers-by praised her music when they heard it. Over time, more and more people came here to see this girl, and the business of the liquor store became bigger and bigger, and it became a famous and elegant place. ”

"And then, how happened to this girl?" Song Qingyin asked.

Cheng Ye thought about it, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just heard that the wine shop caught fire later, and none of the bosses and diners present that night escaped with fifty-five diners, but later when the people collected the bones, the girl was the only one missing." Later, people in the neighborhood heard the mournful sound of the pipa in the middle of the night in the burned and tattered wine shop, some people said that the girl was nostalgic for the former residence and did not want to leave, and others said that the girl wanted to find the person who set the fire to avenge her family. But I don't know what the truth is. ”

"In other words, the liquor store is still here!"

Cheng Ye said: "It should be, later the people who lived around there moved away, and no one dared to provoke the soul of the girl who was said to have been there." ”

Song Qingyin's eyes were bright and he was just about to say something, when he heard the small sword on his waist say faintly, "You are not allowed to go." ”

Song Qingyin: "But! ”

Lu Qichuan: "You can't be!" ”

The carriage creaked to a halt in front of a rather spacious house, and in the doorway sat a boy with a big eye flickering and a round little face very pleasant, and he held a dirty racket in his hand. When he saw them get out of the carriage, he immediately rushed into the courtyard, shouting as he ran.

"Grandpa!! Grandfather! Another monk is coming! ”

When I walked into the courtyard, I found that there was a hole in it, and one of the courtyards was divided into isolated spaces that could accommodate more than 100 people, and it was no wonder that the owner of the museum would arrange them here.

When they arrived, many monks were already sitting in groups of threes and threes, and a few groups of people near them greeted each other. Most of these people are young people with outstanding talents, in the war of gods and demons back then, the seniors who were older had either fallen or lost their cultivation, and now only the outstanding young people in the various sects can afford to be able to seal the demons.

"Strange." Lu Qichuan muttered.

Song Qingyin lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I just feel a familiar aura, but there is a mixture of aura here, maybe it's wrong for me." As soon as they entered, the people inside looked at them more or less for a moment, and he couldn't tell who it was.

After a few people stood for a while, the boy walked out of the deepest door with an old man with gray hair. This old man's legs and feet are not very good, and it is a little difficult to walk.

"There is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome! Come, yott, and I will take you to your lodgings. The old man waved at them and beckoned them to come to him.

Xiao Minglan took the old man from the little boy and helped him walk slowly, "Why should the old man be polite, it's us who bother." ”

The old man smiled and said: "It's not counted, I was originally the one who came out of the closed museum, and now the closed museum has asked me, how can I not help?" But the girl doesn't have to worry about me anymore, my leg was broken twenty years ago, and it can't be cured. ”

Seeing through his thoughts, Xiao Minglan didn't hide it, and said generously: "I didn't have a trace of abnormality in the spiritual veins around you, and the muscles and bones in your left leg were broken, but I avoided the place where the spiritual veins passed in advance, and it seems that it was done on purpose." It was I who offended. ”

The old man touched the forehead of the child in front of him, still smiling, "The girl is kind-hearted, and the old man is affectionate." It's just that I once did something wrong, and this leg was broken by my own hands. ”

Between the words, a few people had already crossed the magic circle and came to a secluded courtyard, no more, no less than four rooms. Song Qingyin had to secretly say that what came out of the hall was really not an ordinary person, Lu Qichuan had been deliberately hiding his breath in the small sword, and this old man could still sense him.

When he had finished leading the way, the old man took the boy by the hand and said goodbye to them, and turned and walked slowly to greet the other monks who had come here.

Song Qingyin didn't dare to move her left hand at will, so she had to pour herself a cup of tea with one hand, but she didn't expect the operation to be very smooth, and she didn't spill a drop, so she happily poured the other quilt full of it.

Lu Qichuan: "I can't drink it." ”

Song Qingyin smiled and put the two cups in front of him, "I didn't say let you drink it, I'll drink two cups myself." ”

Lu Qichuan: ......

The door was lightly slammed, and Cheng Ye and the others placed their things and came over to ask her if she wanted to go around the city together. Song Qingyin was very moved, but seeing Xiao Jian lying quietly on the table, his voice was too unrefreshed, and he still declined their invitation.

All along, Lu Qichuan had been fusing demonic qi little by little, but that day, the things in Song Qingyin's body tried to break through the shackles, and he forced the seal to break open a crack, and his own divine soul was incomplete, and he suddenly introduced too much demonic qi and shattered the essence that had finally condensed. It's hard for him to even transform now.

The room was bright and warm, and the people who were burning it with charcoal were drowsy. Song Qingyin pushed open half of the window, the cold wind swept the snow and water vapor on her face, and she suddenly found that once she stopped from the road to Chopping Moon Mountain, she had completely lost her direction. In the end of her life, she went to kill Moon Mountain.

"Jiujiu, I may not be able to hear you next, and this process will not take long. During this time, you'd better not go out and about. ”

"Huh?" By the time Song Qingyin reacted, it was when Lu Qichuan was talking to her, and the other party was already silent. The small sword was like an ordinary blade, and the aura seemed to be tightly wrapped in a shell, and the presence of the machine spirit was not felt at all.

It was getting dark.

Cheng Ye hurriedly walked into the courtyard with a bamboo umbrella, and saw that the window of her room was still ajar, and the cold wind was swishing in. There was no light in the house, so Cheng Ye walked to the window and coughed lightly. Song Qingyin, who had been sitting at the table staring at Xiao Jian in a daze, woke up and walked to the window to open the window completely.

Only then did she notice that the snow had begun to fall again.

"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?"

Cheng Ye said anxiously: "Has Senior Xiao ever come back?" ”

"Sister Lan? No, didn't you go out together? ”

"Oh no, something happened." Cheng Ye gritted his teeth and pressed his sore forehead, "I'll go out to find her again!" ”

"Wait!" Song Qingyin said, "I'll go with you!" ”

She put on her outer robe, and when she passed by the wooden table, she remembered that Lu Qichuan had told her not to go out and walk around, but Sister Lan had an accident and she couldn't sit still. After hesitating, she still hung the small sword from her waist, opened the door and walked out.

Although he couldn't hear or talk to himself, at least he was still around.

The two hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard, and the outside room was also brightly lit, the old man stood at the door with a lamp, and the disciples who were in a mess surrounded him anxiously asking what was going on. It seems that they are not the only ones who have had an accident.

"Brother Cheng, did you meet something?" The night was even colder than the day, and the white air that Song Qingyin let out when he spoke couldn't melt away for a long time. She didn't bring an umbrella when she came out, so Cheng Ye gave her the one in his hand.

They bypassed those people and went straight out, Cheng Ye said: "We walked on the street for a while, and Senior Xiao suddenly said that he saw an old friend from the past. I remember that she had been here before, and had waited for her without much thought, but who knew that she did not show up until nightfall, and I felt that something was wrong, and rushed back to ask her if she had come back early. ”

"So, those people are in a similar situation?" Song Qingyin asked.

Cheng Ye nodded, "I asked them when I came back, and most of the missing people were like this." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the more they go forward, the heavier the wind and snow come, and when I look back, the way they came is completely clear.

As Cheng Ye said, they didn't go out for a long time. Like them, many monks who came out with lamps to look for people hurried past them. They were standing in front of a shop selling jade at the moment, the wind and snow outside were too strong, the shop had closed the stall early, turned off the lights and locked it, and it was quiet inside, without the slightest sound.

"That's where you were separated?" She looked around, and the footprints on the ground were stacked in several layers, and she couldn't tell them apart.

Cheng Ye nodded and pointed to the sparsely lit streets and alleys in front of him, "That's right, Senior Xiao is going over there." ”

Song Qingyin looked in the direction of his finger and suddenly muttered in a low voice.

"Senior Sister Qingya?"
