Chapter 63: Acquaintances Reunited
(a)
In the moon and clouds, the silent Qingshan Ridge is only whistling by the strong wind.
A person stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands in his hands, and the purple-clothed Taoist robe on his body fluttered in the wind.
More than a dozen black figures suddenly burst out of the forest, all of them standing behind the purple-clothed man with their fists in unison.
At this time, a tall and burly man in black stepped forward and called in a deep voice, "Master." ”
The man on the edge of the cliff turned to look at him and asked, "Have all the people arrived?"
The man in black raised his hand and pointed behind him, and confirmed, "Back to Master, all the twelve people who were waiting outside the courtyard that day are here." ”
The black-clothed man in the lead was Sheng Li, a disciple of the Lower Immortals, and the purple-clothed man standing on the edge of the Qingshan Ridge cliff was Kong Ming. The thirteen people who were summoned at this time were all disciples who were stationed outside the courtyard on the night when Bai Hua was attacked and Chen Zhi died strangely.
Kong Ming swept back and forth from left to right several times, and the faces of these disciples deepened again.
"I believe everyone should have seen Chen Zhi's death that day, right?"
Kong Ming walked towards everyone as he spoke, and said, "Chen Zhi, he was possessed by someone and broke into the courtyard after his death. ”
Possessed by evil spirit?!
When everyone heard this, their faces were condensed, and at the same time, an inexplicable uneasiness also arose.
At this time, one of the disciples arched his hand and said, "Has that person been found?"
Kong Ming looked for the sound, walked slowly to him again, and said, "That's why I called you here." At first, I thought he had blended in with the lower immortal disciples, so I changed all the waist cards one by one. However, it was obvious that he was not among the Lower Immortal disciples. ”
As soon as he heard Kongming say this, a cadre of people suddenly realized. Sheng Li on the side seemed to guess Kong Ming's thoughts, so he asked, "Master summoned us here, do you want us to come and secretly look for someone?"
Before I could elaborate, I was able to sort out the clue so intelligently.
Kong Ming patted Sheng Li's shoulder with relief, nodded and said, "Yes, the rest of the disciples don't know about the events of that night, so only you know about Chen Zhi's death." “
withdrew his hand, his empty beard looked solemn, walked in front of everyone, and said solemnly: "From tomorrow onwards, I will give you some appropriate reasons so that you don't have to participate in the cultivation, what you need to do now is to investigate every place in the Nian Shan Mountain one by one." That person's cultivation is extremely high, so you still need to obey Sheng Li's arrangement, and you must not act privately. If you find something abnormal, return to report it immediately, and don't do it. Got it?"
After speaking, everyone clasped their fists and said in unison: "Yes!"
(b)
Time flies, fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, there are only more than ten days left before the Celestial God Sacrifice.
Bai Shiyi and Bai Shi are still secretly monitoring Cuifeng Tower's every move in Lanfeng Town, and they will send the blue bird back to the mountain every ten days to report the news. Since the disappearance of Ming Yuan, Feng Se Niang has taken care of Cuifeng Building as usual, and there is no change at all.
Repeating the same life every day, the two of them also feel extremely tormented at the bottom of the mountain.
In contrast, Except Nian Shan was very busy. Except for the disciples who were going to participate in the Heavenly God Sacrifice Competition, who were still cultivating diligently, the rest of the people obeyed the arrangements of Kongming and Kongsu, and arranged everything in advance except for the inside and outside of the Nian Mountain.
The glimmer of the morning light will be sprinkled into the courtyard, and a white figure will shuttle back and forth in several rooms, looking extremely busy. Seeing that everyone was busy arranging these days, Bai Hua automatically asked Ying to clean the courtyard.
Bai Hua stood in front of the Netherworld, took a broom, and said with a smile: "Netherworld, lift your feet." ”
After a while, she took the rag again, and said out of the corner of her eyes, "Netherworld, can you sit there?"
The person at the stone table pursed his lips, glanced at her lightly, put away the bamboo slip in his hand, and walked towards the room with a solemn look.
Bai Hua wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and thanked him in a clear voice: "Thank you." ”
However, the next moment she responded to her was only the sound of 'bang' closing the door.
At noon, the sun hung high in the sky and scorched the earth, and the heat wave hit it, causing the flowers and plants around to hang their heads.
Bai Hua, who had been busy all morning, was also roasted by the hot sun.
"Little White~"
I was about to go back to my room to change my clothes, but I suddenly heard a crooked call. When he turned around, a crimson figure hugged him.
"Little white white ~ people think so much about you. As the person in his arms finished speaking, he clasped the hand around his waist tighter, and swayed her from side to side for a while.
Bai Hua's face twitched, and with the shaking, he raised his hand with a dry smile and patted his back twice, and said, "Hehehe, Chiyan, it's been a hundred years, and you're still like this.... Passionate!"
As soon as the hand on his waist loosened, Chi Yan took half a step back, pouted, and snorted, "Don't you want people?"
The corners of Bai Hua's mouth grinned stiffly, and he smiled: "Ahahaha~ I think, I think so badly." ”
While the two were talking, there was a cordial greeting from outside the courtyard, "Zehuang Heavenly God, please come here!"
Ze Huang?!
Bai Hua looked sideways towards the outside of the courtyard, and before he could see Ze Huang's figure clearly, he heard the crisp call of September like a yellow warbler.
"Xiaobai~ I'm here. ”
September's face bloomed with a smile, and he pushed Chi Yan who was blocking him to the side with both hands, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Bai Hua's hand, and said, "Xiaobai, do you miss me?"
"Yes!" replied in one word. But by the same question, it was clear that she was much more honest when she answered September.
Ze Huang walked up to the three of them, still with a warm smile on his face, and asked Bai Hua, "Xiaobai, how have you been doing lately?"
Bai Hua waved his hand and said gently: "Okay, thank you Zehuang Heavenly God." ”
Kong Ming on the side saw that he had no room to interject, so he said to Ze Huang with interest: "That Ze Huang Heavenly God, Chiyan Heavenly God, you talk first, I have to go back to the cultivation ground." ”
Ze Huang bowed slightly, and replied politely: "Lao Kong Ming Daoren personally brought us over." ”
Kong Ming waved his hand with a smile, bowed down again, and only left after the etiquette was done.
Seeing Kong Ming leave, Bai Hua was puzzled and asked, "There are still more than ten days left for the Heavenly God Sacrifice, why did you come so early?"
Before he could speak, he heard a low call behind him.
"Ze Wilderness~"
Everyone turned their heads, only to see the Netherworld standing on the stone steps with his hands in his hands.

After preparing tea for the three of them, at the request of September, Bai Hua took her to walk around the Nian Mountain.
Along the way, September held Bai Hua tightly with one hand, and held her arm with the other, looking around curiously.
"Senior Brother Bai Hua is good. ”
"Hello senior brother. ”
"Senior Brother Bai Hua, this is you..."
"Me, sister. ”
When the disciples passing by saw the two of them looking so intimate, they all cast meaningful glances.
Bai Hua lowered his eyes and looked at the hands of the two of them with ten fingers clasped, and shouted in a low voice: "September~"
"Huh?" replied nonchalantly, looking at the bunting on the tree.
Bai Hua picked his face, slowly raised the hands of the two of them, lowered his voice and said: "No matter how I say it now, I am also a man, is it a little inappropriate for you to hold hands with me like this and let others see it?"
Jiu Qian turned his head and frowned slightly: "What's inappropriate? I like it, I don't care what people think." Eh, Xiaobai, what kind of place is that?"
Bai Hua sighed lightly, raised his eyelids and glanced at them, and said, "Where is... Thatched house!"
"The thatched hut is also so chic... There's not much to see here, let's go, let's go somewhere else. ”
In September, he was going to pull Bai Hua towards the back mountain.
"Baihua~"
The sudden gentle shout made the two of them stop, and then tacitly turned sideways and looked behind them.
After seeing the woman in white standing under the tree holding a colorful flag, Bai Hua couldn't help but call softly: "Ruan Guan." ”
Ruan Guan stepped forward, and when he was still three steps away from the two, he stopped again. Shui Ling's eyes roamed back and forth on September's body, and finally his gaze fell on the tightly interlocked hands of the two.
"This is September, and this is Nguyen Guan. Bai Hua introduced the two.
"September girl, hello!" Ruan Wan bit his lip and asked tentatively: "Bai Hua, September girl is you..."
Looking at her eyes, and hearing this question, September seemed to have guessed something, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he leaned his head on Bai Hua's shoulder, and said shyly: "I am his wife who has not passed the door." ”
Hearing September say this, the bodies of the other two couldn't help but tremble.
Bai Hua leaned sideways towards September's ear and whispered, "Why do you say that?"
September raised his hand and brushed Bai Hua's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Help you out of the siege." ”
Seeing that the two were so close, Ruan Wan stabilized his emotions, and then politely lowered his body towards the two of them, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
After saying that, he reflexively wanted to leave. Bai Hua stretched out his hand and was about to say something, but saw Ruan Wan turn around again, and said embarrassedly: "I, I should go this way." ”
With that, he trotted past the two of them with his head half-hung down.
Seeing her leave, September let go of her hand, and sneered at Bai Hua with a wicked smile: "Oh, I can't see it, our Xiaobai is still so likable?"
Bai Hua's face sank, and he feigned anger and said, "Nonsense, I see that you have made everyone sad." ”
"If I don't do this, what will you do if she reveals her thoughts to you one day?" asked September with his hands clasped around his chest.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Hua bowed his head and said, "You're right, but I won't stay here forever?"
September rubbed her ears and explained vaguely: "Hey, then, that's all when I cut off her thoughts early." ”
“.....”
(iv)
In the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a sound of crying.
"Ruan Guan~"
The man who was squatting on the ground and sobbing raised his head suddenly.
I saw a man in white looking at him condescendingly, with a strange coldness in his eyes.
Ruan Wan wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, got up and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Do you like Bai Hua?" The corner of the man in white had a playful ghostly smile on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was as cold as ice.
Ruan Wan was stunned and said, "I, I, I don't." ”
I heard a sneer from the man in white, and then stretched out his fingers with a faint red light, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll help you." ”
Before Ruan Wan could react, a ray of red light entered his chest. Immediately afterward, a piercing pain made her clutch her chest and snort.
"What the hell have you done to me?" This sharp pain made Ruan Guan stumble, and immediately supported Cuizhu on the side.
But as soon as he finished asking, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and then he fell straight to the ground.
The breeze in the forest made the bamboo leaves rustle.
In a moment, the man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes. Just the moment he opened his eyes, a red light flashed in his eyes.
The man in white squinted at Ruan Guan, who was already kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face at this time, and said quietly: "Go!"
Ruan Wan nodded respectfully, got up and walked towards the cultivation ground with the colored flag.
At this time, the sunlight shines through the bamboo leaves, and spots are sprinkled on the ground. The man in white then flicked his sleeves and turned into a red mist, and disappeared all along with him.
