Chapter Eighty-Six: On the Eve of the Storm, the Sky Is Heavy
Wanxian Palace is located at the northern foot of Nanshan Mountain, at noon the sun dispelled the early morning haze, and the quaint golden palace emitted a faint golden light under the shade of verdant ancient trees. There is a big photo wall on the south side of the ancient view, and a large archway built of blue bricks is built on the north side, so that there is a second archway and a mountain gate to the north. The second part can be divided into two parts before and after, there are two halls before and after the mountain gate, the second floor of the bell and drum is divided into left and right; the second part can be divided into two parts before and after, there are two halls before and after, the illusion of the god of jade carving and the statue of Zhou Tianxingjun are enshrined in the apse; the third part is the main hall, the two sides of the main hall are the east and west cross courtyards, the east cross courtyard has the Taibai Palace, the Beidou Palace, the Thunder God Temple, the God of Wealth Hall respectively, the west side is the storehouse, the dining room, the Taoist living place of the Taoist temple.
Ye Rusi hid his figure on an ancient cypress outside the apse, looking at the scene in the apse from afar. I saw that Jin Zadong, who was still tied up like a zongzi just now, was already sitting on the futon in the hall like everyone else. After about a stick of incense, everyone seemed to have finished discussing the matter. Jin Zhadong bowed goodbye to a red-haired young man, he looked at Mo Lingxi who was nestled next to a gray-cloaked man in the hall, frowned and seemed to be struggling slightly, and finally didn't say anything, and quickly disappeared outside the ancient temple. Soon after Jin Zadong left, the man in the gray cloak, Mo Lingxi, the red-haired man, and several others also got up to say goodbye to Master Yun and left the Taoist temple.
Seeing this, Ye Rusi also quietly left the Taoist temple and followed Mo Lingxi all the way back to Chang'an City.
It was three o'clock when he returned to the inn that night, and he quietly hid at the window and watched the small courtyard where Mo Lingxi's disappearing figure from a distance.
Why did Mo Lingxi stay with a man in a gray cloak instead of Jin Zadong? And who was the man in the gray cloak? What were these people trying to capture Jin Zadong for? What did Jin Zadong talk to them secretly? Countless questions filled Ye Rusi's mind at this time.
At the same time, in the courtyard deep in an alley, a beautiful woman in a green dress hung up a dark green cloak, turned and walked to the bedside and snuggled into the arms of a man in a gray cloak, picked up the man's broad palm, and stroked her face and long hair that exuded a faint fragrance.
"Sir, why didn't you let me expose the man who had been following us all along?" the woman in the green dress asked the man beside her softly
"It's not time yet, the heat hasn't come yet, and the lid of the pot is too early to be lifted," the man said as he stroked the woman's graceful figure
"What is delicious and not delicious, I only know that there is endless delicious food to enjoy with my husband," the girl chuckled
"Ah...... Slow down," the girl murmured softly
The man seemed to touch the depths of tenderness, chuckled, "Nothing delicious is as delicious as yours," and then threw the woman in his arms into the depths of the red tent. I saw that the red tent was put down, and a piece of green dresses as thin as cicada wings were thrown out of the tent.
In the night, a black kitten in the north of the city was running briskly on the eaves, the kitten seemed to have experienced a serious illness, a lot of fur was damaged, and one leg was still limping. Behind the kitten, there was a monster that looked like a dog but not a dog, and a dragon and not a dragon chased after him from afar. The monster chased the kitten as lightning bolts protruded from its mouth and struck the black cat in the distance. Running from the north of the city to the middle of the city, the monster seemed to see that it could not catch up with the black cat, and after a while the figure became illusory, and finally disappeared without a trace. The black cat turned to look at the gradually disappearing monster, and as if relieved, threw an elixir into his mouth, and continued to run in a certain direction to the south of the city.
"Who injured you?" said Ye Rusi anxiously as she looked at the little black cat that jumped in from the window
At this time, I saw that the black cat seemed to relax after seeing Ye Rusi, and changed into the appearance of a girl in black, her face was pale and abnormal, and she fainted without taking a breath before she could speak.
At night, a crescent moon hangs coldly in the winter night sky. The lights of an inn were still not extinguished, and a teenager sat on the edge of the bed and looked after the girl who seemed to be asleep. The girl's face was pale, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her lips were not bloody. Her breathing was weak, as if she had experienced a serious illness, and the brocade quilt covered by her body rose and fell slightly with her breathing, outlining a graceful figure.
"Are you awake?" the young man next to him said in surprise when he saw the girl open his eyes slightly
"Don't talk yet, take this pill" Ye Rusi stopped Yun Ji's actions who wanted to speak, put a pill into her mouth, and used mana to dissolve the pill into the girl's dantian qi sea.
Before the tea time came, the girl seemed to regain some vitality and struggled to sit up.
"Something happened to the master, let's go find the other partners," Yun Ji said anxiously
"You have a good rest first, and we can discuss it tomorrow, okay?" Ye Rusi said comfortingly as she looked at the pale Yun Ji
Yun Ji listened to Ye Rusi's words, nodded, and breathed for a moment.
"Did you see me?" said Yun Ji as if she had noticed something
"You came back badly injured, your veil was broken in many places, and there were blood stains, so I ......," explained Ye Rusi in a whisper
"You're not afraid I'll kill you," Yun Ji said angrily
"No, I really didn't mean to" Ye Rusi spread his hands helplessly
"...... You get out of here" Yun Ji seemed extremely angry when she heard Ye Rusi's explanation, and she didn't take a breath, and coughed violently.
"Okay, I'll go to the outer world, you have a good rest, remember to call me if you have something" Ye Rusi knew that the girl's emotions could not be allowed to fluctuate violently at this time, so she slowly walked into the outer world and cultivated cross-legged.
"Yun'er, from today onwards, you will be considered an adult, and you will make your own decisions about all the choices in the future. If you meet a man you like, unveil him so that he can see your face. If that man fails you, you must remember to kill him...... You remember to return to your ancestral land and get back your inheritance......" Yun Ji remembered her mother's deathbed words many years ago, and tears flowed involuntarily.
"Mother, can you really kill the person you like with your own hands? When your father failed you, didn't you rather leave him far away than kill him? Mother, did you regret betraying the clan for your father?...... Mother, Yun'er misses you......" Yun Ji covered the quilt and whispered those words in her heart that only she could understand.
