The Peishui River flows through Shengtang County from the northwest into the Weishui River, which is the most important river in Shengtang County. Because the southwest of Shengtang County is located in the Anhui Mountain, the extension line of the Anhui Mountain is exactly at the place where the Peishui River enters the territory of Shengtang County, so a natural canyon has been formed here.

Because the terrain is still high, and the bottom of the river is full of stones, the river flows here at a slower rate, the sediment settles, the water becomes clear and transparent, and the whole river is like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and the lush greenery on both sides. Especially in summer, the green trees and red flowers on both banks, the blue waves in the river ripple, and the river water is as warm as jade. In it, the whole person immediately blends into the mountains and rivers, clear, calm, and slow, as if escaping from the world, as if becoming an immortal.

At this time, Wang Miao and Liu Ya were in the midst of this beautiful scenery. The two sat side by side on a boulder on the bank of the river, Liu Ya was barefoot, pulled up the hem of her skirt, and stretched her little legs like lotus roots into the water, constantly making a splash. Wang Miao was holding a phoenix tail bamboo in his hand, shielding his little girlfriend from the sun.

"The green willow river warped,

The buds on the branches are just out of the sheath.

It was the life of a maid servant,

It's just so coincidental. ”

Liu Ya shook her body from side to side, humming the song repeatedly in her mouth. Wang Miao's mind was all on Liu Ya, and she didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after listening to it a few times, she found that this song was not just an ordinary children's song.

"Liu Ya, who did you learn this song from?"

"Song? What song? Liu Ya turned her head to look at Wang Miao, with a blank expression.

"That's the song you're humming."

"Am I humming?"

"That's right. The green willow river is warped, and the buds on the branches are just out of the sheath. It was..."

Listening to Wang Miao's humming, an image suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ya's eyes. In the video, a kind woman is holding a little girl of four or five years old, gently shaking and humming this nursery rhyme. Then a dark figure appeared behind the woman and stretched out her hands to the child in her arms.

"Ahh Willow Bud hugged her head and let out a scream of pain.

"Willow Bud! Willow Buds! Wang Miao hurriedly stopped and hugged Liu Ya tightly in his arms. Don't be afraid, I'm here! I'm here! Wang Miao looked around in a panic, eager for someone to help him, after all, every time Liu Ya fell ill, he could only do it on the sidelines.

"Hey, you!" A familiar voice came out from behind, and Wang Miao hurriedly turned around. "Old name Hanako?"

This person turned out to be an old man named Hanako, who had been missing for a long time.

"You still remember my old man." The old called Huazi came to Wang Miao's side, stretched out his hand and tapped at Liu Ya's cervical vertebrae, a cold light flashed, Liu Ya stopped screaming and fell into a deep sleep, Wang Miao hurriedly hugged her in his arms.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Does it matter who I am?" The old man called Hanako glared at Wang Miao. "Don't you want to know the meaning of this nursery rhyme?"

"This nursery rhyme? You mean..."

"The green willow river is warped, and the buds on the branches are just out of the sheath. I don't need to explain these two sentences. ”

"Hmm." Wang Miao nodded. The core of the first two sentences is one in the willow and the other in the bud, which is clearly the name of the willow bud.

The third sentence is Liu Ya's life experience. Do you remember the boy in the hotel? ”

After being reminded by the old man Huazi, Wang Miao immediately remembered. "You mean Liu Ya is his maid?"

"Not exactly." Hanako shook her head. "Liu Ya was born in a poor family, but when she was four or five years old, she was taken away."

"Abducted?"

"Hmm. The reason is in this fourth sentence. ”

"It's such a coincidence. Because Liu Ya was born at 6 o'clock on June 6, it is exactly the same as Peng Zu's birthday! ”

"Peng Zu? The old birthday star who lived for 800 years? ”

"Not bad!" Hanako nodded. "So..."

"So what?"

"Willow buds are indispensable for making elixir of life - medicine introduction!"

"Medicine?"

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Just when Wang Miao didn't know why, a series of howls came from the southwest, and Wang Miao and Lao Huazi turned around and watched.

In the direction of Wanshan, a short man covered in blood was running towards the two of them with his life. Around this man, two red monsters and dozens of gray monsters were howling loudly as they attacked the man from all directions.

"Ghouls!"

Wang Miao and the old name Huazi spoke in unison.

"Wang Miao, protect the willow buds!"

Hanako, the old man, suddenly straightened up, and her voice was no longer old. The more Wang Miao looked at it, the more familiar it felt, and a scene of white clothes and a piece of wind and snow suddenly appeared in front of him. "You're - Dongfang Bai!"

As soon as Wang Miao's words fell, the old man Hanako stretched out his hand, and a sword shining with white light appeared in front of him.

Wind and Snow Sword!

This person is really Dongfang Bai!

"Why are you helping me?"

"Does it matter?" As soon as the Oriental vernacular voice fell, the man had already flashed into the monster.

Snowfall! Sword shadows in the sky!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

The screams were incessant, and the monsters were covered in holes and fell to the ground wailing.

Oh! Oh!

Rumble! Rumble!

Two huge roars sounded, Wang Miao only felt two strong winds blowing in front of him, and hurriedly tensed his body and hugged Liu Ya tightly.

"Ugh!" Dongfang Bai held a person in his arms, and flew back to Wang Miao's side backwards, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

The two red monsters nearly doubled in height, and under the embrace of the gray monsters, they approached Wang Miao and the others step by step.

Although Wang Miao had seen these two monsters, he was still startled by their huge size. The last time they met, did they hide their strength? Or have they become stronger again in just over a month?

"Ahh

Wang Miao bared his fangs, his hands and feet grew sharp claws, and he let out a roar at the two monsters.

Oh! Oh!

Not to be outdone, the two monsters responded with louder voices.

"Wang Miao, Liu Ya!" Dongfang Bai reminded Wang Miao. Wang Miao looked at the willow buds in his arms, and immediately lost his temper.

"I'll cover you! You take Liu Ya and this person, hurry up and leave! "Dongfang Bai's eyes are resolute." Tell Li You that Liu Ya is the key! ”

After Dongfang Bai finished speaking, he put the person in his arms beside Wang Miao and urged the Wind and Snow Sword again.

Wang Miao didn't dare to hesitate any longer, put Liu Ya on his shoulder, picked up the people on the ground, and turned around and ran towards Shengtang County.

After Wang Miao walked away, the wind and snow disappeared immediately, Dongfang Bai stood with his sword on his back, and the monsters stood obediently behind Dongfang Bai.

"Get back into the mountains!"

Dongfang Bai shook off these words and flashed towards Shengtang County.

The two red monsters looked at Dongfang Bai's back, a trace of ferocity flashed in their eyes, and they had no intention of returning at all.

A moment later, a black figure appeared behind the two monsters.

"Dongfang Bai? Hehe. It seems that the power of the three-eyed demon fox is not monolithic! ”

………

"Childe! Son! ”

Wang Miao jumped into the courtyard and immediately shouted loudly.

"Miao'er, what's wrong?"

Li You was already nervous at this time, and when he heard Wang Miao's call, he immediately ran out, and the Ouyang brothers and sisters and Yuan Gang also followed him to the courtyard. Zhong Yao originally wanted to come out, but when he saw Wang Miao's situation at the door, he hurriedly stopped and just stood at the door and watched.

"Childe, Liu Ya! This man! ”

Ouyang Yan saw Wang Miao carrying Liu Ya, and immediately realized what was happening, flashed to Wang Miao's side, and took Liu Ya over.

Wang Miao smiled gratefully at Ouyang Yan, and then immediately turned the person in his hand over.

"This person is--Tian Yi!" Li You immediately recognized the long tongue. At this time, the long tongue and eyes were closed, and he was covered in blood. "Tian Yi, Tian... Long tongue! Li You remembered Wei Miaoer's name. Long tongue, wake up! I'm Li You! Li You! ”

The long tongue kept his eyes closed, but after hearing the word Li You, he suddenly hit a spirit, and his eyes opened sharply. "Li You, Miao'er, Villa, child, there's no time!" As soon as the long tongue said this, the man fainted again.

Miao'er! Besan! Child! Time!

These words were like thunder, which shocked Li You's scalp and his heart was like a knife.

Wrong!

I made the same mistake in the illusion!

I was still led by Wang Lang by the nose!

Only this time he used not power, but another case!

Why didn't you find a connection?

Why!

In fact, Li You knew it very well in his heart.

Compared with the ghoul case, Li You put Yao Buwei's case in a higher priority. The reason is naturally to overthrow the Linghu family, in front of the people, in front of the civil and military officials, and in front of the emperor, to show his outstanding wisdom and achieve the goal of increasing officials and becoming knights.

Only by being promoted to an important position can we grasp the current situation and better complete the mission assigned to me by Mr. Gaotao. This is the reason Li You made up for himself.

Subconsciously, Li You always thought that the ghoul case could be delayed. However, the ghoul case is actually a case of refining the elixir of life, and what is needed most for refining the elixir is - time!

Now the simple words of the long tongue immediately woke Li You up.

In the process of contacting Wang Lang, Li You kept the initiative as much as possible to avoid making the mistakes of the illusion. However, Li You ignored a fatal problem.

Wang Lang will appear at the most critical moment of the ghoul case every time.

The first time was when Ouyang Jian and Yuan Gang found out that the palace was in a fog, and the second time was when Ouyang Jian and Yuan Gang discovered the secret of the building. Moreover, Wang Lang's attitude during this period was also very different, and at the critical moment when Yao Buwei was found to be a cargo ship, he deliberately shirked it for various reasons.

What is the purpose?

The purpose, of course, is to delay time!

used the case of the Linghu family selling illicit salt to drag his hands and feet, so that he could not deal with the ghoul case.

This is Wang Lang's purpose!

This is the reason why Wang Lang took the initiative to find himself and form an alliance with himself!

Even Yao Buwei's case of selling illicit salt itself may be intentional by Wang Lang - no! It's not Wang Lang!

Wang Lang works for the elixir of life, and although the mastermind of the immortality case is Sun Kui, the purpose is to create an emperor who will never die, that is to say, Wang Lang is working for that big demon!

I thought that I hadn't entered the center of power, and I hadn't had a chance to fight that big demon. However, the other party is actually under his own nose, and he is still obsessed with adding officials to the knighthood, and he thinks he is so clever.

You are still laughing at the emperor of the Tang Dynasty! You still boast that you take the world as your own responsibility!

Li You, you're so ridiculous! It's stupid!

Remorse! Disappointed! Angry!

All kinds of emotions came to his heart, and Li You fell into infinite chagrin.

"Childe!" "Li You!" "Your Excellency!"

Wang Miao, Ouyang Jian and the others saw that Li You's face was cloudy, and they kept staring at the front in a daze, thinking that he had fallen for some kind of spell, so they hurriedly reminded him loudly.

Don't panic!

He is Wang Miao's brain, and once he panics, he will lose all. Have you forgotten the lesson of the Endless Staircase again? Do you want to make another mistake?

Li You patted his head vigorously and finally calmed down. "Miao'er, what the hell happened?"

Wang Miao recounted the incident in detail, and after Li You heard that Huazi was Dongfang Bai, he reaffirmed his judgment. Because the key clue that Yao Buwei solved the case came from the seemingly unintentional sentence of the old man Hanako.

"Dongfang Bai said that willow buds are the medicine for refining the elixir of life?"

"Hmm."

Not good!

Li You hurriedly stood up and looked around.

There is only one person missing around - Zhong Yao!

"Where's Zhong Yao?"

"Li You, you're too late!"

Zhong Yao pushed a person out of the room, and this person was - Li Tian's! , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
