After a few days, Yan Nan was miraculously cured, the strangest thing is that whenever Yan Nan is hungry, there is always a delicious meal on the table silently, but he never knows who did it, he slowly became strange, anyway, he has died once, but he eats without taboo.

Midyear Festival, in the Dragon City is a big festival, rich people on this day, all take the painting boat, hang all kinds of lanterns high along the river to play, people who have no money will also make beautiful river lanterns, exile along the river, pray for the deceased, the most important thing is that the big girl, the little daughter-in-law can go out, visit the city market, so it attracts a lot of young men in the city to flock to the market, it can be said that Dragon City is a lively.

Yan Nan watched the river lantern slowly go away with the water, looking at the lively scene on the other side of the river, for a long, long time, he looked down at his placket, there were still tear stains, and there was still the fragrance of Xiaoyu's fat powder on his clothes, but Xiaoyu still left. Just now, Xiaoyu said goodbye to her, saying that her mother was gone, she had no more attachment, and she wanted to go to the mountain gate to learn art and avenge her mother. Yan Nan looked at this familiar woman, didn't know what to say for a while, and didn't say anything, Xiaoyu had already hugged her and cried silently, and left with a mysterious look after crying, and only told him when she left that she went to the Liuyun Sect to learn art, just above Yunshan. On the day of meeting, I don't know what. Yan Nan was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't know what to think, just sitting stupidly, but he always felt a little empty and dull in his heart. Now he can't even survive and protect himself.

Tonight's moon is very bright and pure, like water gentle, people bathed in such moonlight are easy to forget many things, but also easy to remember many things. Yan Nan sat under the tree, his eyes full of Xiaoyu's eyes when he left: nostalgia and sadness. But he couldn't keep it after all, and he couldn't keep him. At this moment, Yan Nan was still flipping the wooden card of Qin Yue in his hand, thinking about something in his heart, he was distracted for a long time, for a long time, Yan Nan carefully put away the wooden card, his eyes had regained his brilliance, and he was flashing with determination in the night.

When Yan Nan was about to get up, his eyelids jumped, and a burst of women's silver bell-like laughter suddenly sounded, which was even more ethereal and weird in the quiet night, especially in this empty Hongmen Temple. Yan Nan looked for prestige, I don't know when, there was a woman in the canopy, dressed in white, floating on the tree like a ghost in the moonlight, when Yan Nan was stunned, the woman fell to the ground like a swallow, and stroked the long hair on her chest, which was extremely beautiful. The woman stood in front of Yan Nan, who suddenly felt cold and took a step back. He has been in the temple for so many years, and he has never seen such a woman, on a moonlit night, silently appearing on the big tree, Yan Nan's pupils shrank, and he looked at the woman fixedly, with snow-white skin, and there seemed to be no flaw on his well-defined face, I have to say that this is the most beautiful woman Yan Nan has ever seen.

The woman saw Yan Nan stunned in place, the corners of her mouth leaked a trace of coldness, approaching Yan Nan, until she was almost close to Yan Nan, Yan Nan could smell a wisp of fragrance coming to her face, but she was full of excitement, I don't know why, Yan Nan felt that this woman was so terrible that she could destroy him as long as she waved her hand, so he didn't move, the woman's jade fingers gently slid across Yan Nan's face, fell on his chest, and with a gentle flick, Yan Nan's clothes had spread out and leaked out of his chest. Yan Nan intuitively felt that the place she touched was like ice, spreading a cold feeling. When Yan Nan was still waiting for the woman to break his chest, the woman quickly giggled, showing charm and gentleness: "Well, yes, the recovery is fast." ”

Yan Nan looked at the woman: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"I'm not a human or a ghost, I'm a snake." The woman regained her coldness, a pretty face was almost attached to Yan Nan's nose, the black double pass stared at him coldly, Yan Nan retreated step by step, until his back had been attached to the big tree, and he couldn't take a step back, the woman touched Yan Nan's face, and spit out a bright red long tongue: "I'm hungry, your blood might as well give me a drink, it must be a great tonic." ”

Yan Nan was just about to break free, but there was a tingling pain between his eyebrows, a trance in front of him, his body instantly lost his strength, and he saw a drop of golden liquid fly out from between his eyebrows and fall into the woman's cherry lips, and then his head stabbed like a crack, and then he lost consciousness.

In the entire Dragon City, the biggest gateway is the Prince's Mansion, because the Prince's Mansion not only has a radius of dozens of miles of land and buildings, but also has a large number of shield soldiers and the best weapons, Jin Wangye is the prince of the Dragon City, and even the major sects of the Dragon City are not as good as the Wangfu, so the Wangye's Mansion has always had a pivotal position in the Dragon City, not only can lead a major sect, but also has the role of resisting foreign enemies, it can be said that the Wangfu is the official mansion of the Dragon City.

The palace is divided into two parts, a south gate, is the place of the garrison and office, there are barracks and martial arts field, the north gate is the inner courtyard of the Jin Wangfu, and it is also the inner house of the prince's mansion and the place where the family lives. On this day, Zhu Er, the housekeeper in the inner courtyard of the palace, was resting in the shade in the gatehouse, drinking wine and singing songs. Zhu Er was thinking about beautiful things when a childish voice interrupted him: "Excuse me, is this the prince's mansion?" ”

Zhu Er has been in the inner courtyard of the palace for so many years, and he has already learned the ability to see people and talk about ghosts, and when he looked up, he saw that he was a young man who could no longer be dirty, and he looked a little timid, and he saw that he was not looking for an errand or a relative of a miscellaneous servant, Zhu Er didn't feel that his tone became a little stiffer, he was shy, and asked in a heavy tone: "What are you here to see, looking for relatives or looking for errands, tell you, what kind of place is the prince's mansion, and it is also a place where you hillbillies can come if you want to." Hurry up, go quickly, don't disturb the uncle's sweet dreams. Zhu Er turned around and reclined on the chair again, but the young man was still standing in front of the door and looking at him, but he didn't have any intention of leaving, Zhu Er was angry immediately, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I said that you kid can't understand people's words, let you get out of here." ”

The young man still stood tepidly and said calmly: "Excuse me, I'll look for Qin Yue." The boy handed over a waist plate with a large gold inscription engraved on it. Zhu Er squinted his eyes, and when he saw the waist card, a pair of small eyes immediately released light, and he didn't realize that his waist was a little shorter, he took the waist card with both hands, turned it over and looked carefully, and looked at the rustic young man in front of him from time to time. This young man is Yan Nan, after Xiaoyu left, he thought about how to strengthen himself, what kind of road he should take, and the Four Tigers, he wanted to fulfill his original promise, kill them with his own hands, and avenge his master, so he finally found here, because in Dragon City, in addition to Master and Xiaoyu, he only had this waist card to change his life.

Zhu Er looked at the waist card, he couldn't figure it out, how could the little prince know such a person. When he was thinking about how to interrogate Yan Nan, two big horses appeared at the door, and immediately jumped down two people, Zhu Er immediately hunched his waist to greet him, it was not someone else, it was Qin Yue's brother and sister, both of them were wearing military uniforms, and they looked even more heroic, especially women, there were a few different colors. Qin Yue looked at Yan Nan with the waist card, and the eyes of the woman behind her also added a bit of surprise.

In the hall, Qin Yue was looking at Yan Nan, and Chu Yue was also sitting next to her, bowing her head and quietly putting a piece of pastry in front of Yan Nan, and lowered her head shyly, looking at Yan Nan with big eyes from time to time. She is Qin Yue's sister and the county lord of Dragon City, and when Yan Nan first entered the hall, Qin Yue introduced Yan Nan with a playful face.

At this moment, Qin Yue was still playing with the waist card in her hand with an old face, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, he asked, "You want to go to the door to learn the arts." ”

Yan Nan nodded in acquiescence. Qin Yue got up, took off a saber on the wall, pulled out the hilt of the sword and danced an incomparable sword flower, and said coldly: "Tell me, what kind of kung fu do you want to learn?" ”

"You can do anything, as long as it's the strongest." Yan Nan replied.

Qin Yue looked back at Yan Nan: "You want to be the strongest, how easy is it, in the remote corner of Dragon City, there are many sects, and there are many strong people, even my father doesn't dare to say that Dragon City is the strongest, not to mention that you are a mortal, and your tone is so crazy?" ”

Yan Nan sat upright and said firmly: "No matter how difficult it is, I have to learn, my master said that only the strong have the ability to protect themselves and the people around them, and only the strong are qualified to talk about fairness and live safely." ”

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and a trace of mockery leaked from the corner of her mouth, a kind of mockery of the strong to the weak. He slowly withdrew his sword and sat opposite Yan Nan: "It seems that you are quite backbone, with the spirit of our golden people, no wonder my sister likes you so much." ”

Chu Yue glanced at Qin Yue with disgust when she heard this, and then secretly glanced at Yan Nan, and lowered her head shyly. Qin Yue ignored it and continued: "Within the scope of Dragon City, several major sects have their own merits, the Liuyun Sect is all women, you are not suitable, the Qingshan Sect is famous for practicing kung fu, the Dragon Sect is strong in fighting, and the Artifact Gate is dominated by hidden weapons and ice blades, these are the four largest sects in Dragon City, where do you want to go?" Think for yourself. ”

"Brother!" Chu Yue pouted and looked at Qin Yue pleadingly, but was interrupted by Qin Yue raising her hand.

Qin Yue continued: "However, since you came to me with a token, I will definitely promise to help you, but if you enter the Four Great Sects, I, the little prince, do not have this right, and I need a letter of recommendation from my father, which is not an easy thing." The royal palace generally does not do this kind of favor, and if it does, it also needs equivalent conditions in exchange. ”

Qin Yue looked at Chu Yue's pretty little face, and continued: "No matter how powerful the four major sects are, they can't match the masters and iron horsemen of the palace, if you are willing to stay with me, not only can you learn superior martial arts, but also save your father the trouble, you can think about it and answer me again." ”

Qin Yue looked at Yan Nan seriously, and Chu Yue's big eyes were also staring at Yan Nan, as if he was looking forward to it, but after a while, Yan Nan already had the answer in his heart.

Yan Nan walked out of the palace, it was already facing the sunset full of eyes, the sunset in Dragon City was always as red as blood, Zhu Er sent him out with a bow this time, but Yan Nan didn't look back at him at all. He also recalled that when he said that he was going to the artifact gate, Qin Yue's suspicious expression and Chu Yue's disappointed face, they should have been sure that staying in the palace was Yan Nan's best choice, and it was also the most correct choice, as long as people with a little brains knew that it was the first choice, but he chose the most unlikely answer, and in the end, Yan Nan also exchanged a promise for a letter of recommendation from the artifact gate. Yan Nan solemnly told Qin Yue: I can't do anything for you now, but I can give you a promise, if you need it in the future, you can still take that waist card to him, and he will do one thing for him at any cost. In the end, Qin Yue still agreed with a blushing face.

In the palace, Chu Yue was complaining with a bitter face: "Brother, why did you promise him, why didn't you forcibly leave him behind?" ”

Qin Yue looked at his back and said slowly: "You can't keep him, he has his own ideas, and besides, I appreciate him." Chu Yue was still frowning, and Qin Yue patted her head: "Don't worry, you forgot, we still have a promise......"

Yan Nan has walked out of the scope of the palace, walking silently in the sunset alone, and his hazy figure looks extremely lonely and stubborn. At this time, a woman's pleasant voice sounded in his ears: "Hey, little man, I can't see it, you are still very feminine." ”

Yan Nan shook his head helplessly: "Didn't you say it, don't call me a little man." ”

The woman giggled and let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell: "I can scream if I like, how about it, don't forget, a drop of your essence blood is here with me, I know what kind of movement you have." Come on, do you like that little jade or do you prefer that early moon, or do you like both? ”

Yan Nan was speechless for a while, stopped talking, and continued to walk, unconsciously entering the foot of the Red Mountain, suddenly a white shadow flashed, and a pretty figure appeared beside Yan Nan, dressed in white, extremely cold. It was the girl in the big willow tree. The girl looked at the silent Yan Nan, stopped laughing, walked side by side with him, and asked softly, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Yan Nan replied calmly: "I have thought about it." ”

"Why did you choose the Artifact Gate? As you know, artifact doors aren't your best bet. The girl asked

"For One Man"

The girl snorted lightly: "It's that Zhong Xiaoyu again." ”

Yan Nan shook his head: "It's her mother, Aunt Zhong." On the day of Aunt Zhong's murder, I saw with my own eyes that the man's cuff was embroidered with an arrow, which Master said was the symbol of the artifact door. ”

"You are so determined to enter the artifact door just to find out the real culprit and avenge her." The girl asked.

Yan Nan nodded: "Yes, I want to find that person and avenge the dead Aunt Zhong with my own hands." Yan Nan thought of Aunt Zhong's beautiful and gentle face, the scene of being killed that day, and the real dream, Yan Nan thought that this was Aunt Zhong's deathbed entrustment to him.

The girl calmed down for a moment, and then asked, "What about your art?" ”

Yan Nan glanced back at her and said calmly, "With you." ”

The girl chuckled: "Stinky boy, it's your idea to beat me so soon, you will have to suffer if you learn from me." ”

Yan Nan smiled: "As long as I can become stronger, no matter how hard I am, I can persevere." By the way, I don't know what your name is, what will I call you in the future? ”

"Call me Bai Ling, when will you be able to go like this, come, I'll take you away." As he spoke, a white light flashed and the two disappeared.

This Bai Ling is the woman in the moonlight that day, that day Bai Ling took a drop of essence blood from Yan Nan's eyebrows and swallowed it, Yan Nan thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to wake up and find that he was lying on his bed unharmed, and suddenly there was something more in his mind, he could fully perceive the existence of the woman, and even thoughts. Bai Ling told him that she was actually the big snake that night, that day was her transformation thunder tribulation, in the last thunder, she had no longer able to hold on and was about to be hacked to death, was blocked by Yan Nan, she finally saved her life, and finally became the current appearance, that day she rescued Yan Nan and hurried back to the big tree to heal, has not appeared, until the night of the full moon on July 15, when the moon is in full bloom, in order to repay the grace of saving life, only to take away a drop of Yan Nan's essence blood, can reach the point of synaesthesia, In this way, Yan Nan can be protected for a while, and how long it depends on the progress of her cultivation. Moreover, what surprised Yan Nan was that after channeling, he could not only sense Bai Ling, but Bai Ling could also fly directly into Yan Nan's jade pendant and rest inside.

Although Yan Nan knew that he suddenly had such a big snake living on his body, it was a torment all the time. But when he knew that Bai Ling could teach him to practice martial arts, and it could also make him stronger, he was also overjoyed, he had no way to join the teacher, but he suddenly had such a powerful backer, and it was a matter of concern, so he thought about it for a long time before he thought of finding Qin Yue, going to the artifact gate, and trying to find the murderer.
