Time does have a strange magic, which can make those memories that have been gradually blurred turn into hazy seeds that take root and sprout in the bottom of my heart.

Some things may not be felt at the time, but at a moment many years later, they are unexpectedly touching and unbearable.

At this moment, Meng Xiuyuan heard Shi Qingxuan's faint question, and couldn't help but be stunned, and a beautiful woman with a long sword in white naturally appeared in front of him, righteous and domineering, but also full of affection.

The familiar voice, spanning the third life for an unknown number of years, suddenly sounded inexplicably in his ears again.

"Meng Shaoxia doesn't need to be so distressed, I don't want to be a burden to you.

We have known each other for ten years, and although we don't really spend much time together, I feel happy in my heart every moment around you.

I've considered you a friend since I knew you. ”

"After the end of Nanshan, the tomb of the living dead, Meng Shaoxia, you know where I live.

I hope you don't forget to have a friend like me.

In the future, when we are free, we may be able to explore the rivers and lakes together again. ”

The old things of the old people came to his heart, turning into surging thoughts, so that Meng Xiuyuan stood still for a long time, and he couldn't say what his mood and thoughts were for a while.

"Tsk, it seems that I was right.

It turns out that a fairy like Meng Gongzi has also moved his mortal heart......"

Shi Qingxuan snorted lightly, and in a slightly unclear tone, he suddenly pulled Meng Xiuyuan back to reality.

"Huh?"

Meng Xiuyuan's emotions lingered in his heart, and he didn't react for a while, so he only hesitated.

Seeing this, Shi Qingxuan stared at Meng Xiuyuan silently for a moment before he said quietly:

Qing Xuan didn't know the depths, talked nonsense, and asked Meng Gongzi to forgive his sins.

But I don't think Childe has the heart to talk to me more at the moment, so let's see you later.

Qing Xuan took the first step and went to Chang'an City to explore the truth and reality.

And Childe can stay in this green mountain for a while, miss his old friends and beauties, and then catch up with me......"

After that, Shi Qingxuan didn't give Meng Xiuyuan time to answer, he had already turned around and walked away in the direction of Chang'an City.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu couldn't stop it, so he shook his head slightly, watching the stone girl's slightly angry figure gradually disappear into the corner of the mountain in the distance.

……

Mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, and the city is a nine-fold gate. Don't see the emperor's capital, and know the son of heaven.

Meng Xiuyuan has gone through three generations, and it is the first time he has entered Chang'an City, and he can't help but be touched by the collection of cultural relics in this imperial capital.

At this time, Chang'an City was composed of three parts: Waiguo City, Palace City and Imperial City.

The Miyagi and Imperial Castles are located in the central part of the northern part of the capital, and the various squares in the outer castle defend the Miyagi and the Imperial Castle from the east, west, and south. With the Zhuque Street in the middle as the boundary, the east and west belong to ten thousand years, Chang'an two counties.

The palace city and the imperial city were the residences of the Tang royal family, while Guocheng was the place where the common people lived together, each with its own layout.

Chang'an Guocheng has a total of 11 streets in the north and south and 14 streets in the east and west, which are divided into 110 squares in a criss-crossing manner

Thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and the 12th Street is like a vegetable field.

Meng Xiuyuan entered the city from the Mingde Gate, walked slowly along the Zhuque Street, only felt that the street was full of traffic and pedestrians, compared to the prosperity of Luoyang, it can be described as a stable and peaceful piece.

In this troubled era, the ability of the Tang Dynasty to govern the city to such an extent can be seen, and it is no wonder that they finally won the world.

And just as Meng Xiuyuan was sightseeing along the way, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him without warning, and said politely:

"Hou Xibai of the Flower Sect has seen Meng Gongzi.

Xi Bai has heard the name of the son for a long time, I don't know if the son can appreciate his face and drink two cups with me at the restaurant next to him? ”

Following the prestige, I saw a handsome Confucian scholar with a bamboo hat on his head, holding a folding fan, indescribably chic and free.

"Demon Gate Flower Pie...... In this way, Shi Zhixuan should be your master, right? ”

Meng Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at this Hou Xibai a few times, but he didn't answer his words, but asked in a deep voice.

"Indeed, Master Shi has the grace to preach and teach me...... Childe is slow, and there is no hostility under it! ”

Hou Xi was just halfway through his words, when he suddenly felt a momentum on Meng Xiuyuan's body soaring into the sky, pressing his body trembling slightly and his breath was suffocated, so he hurriedly waved his hand and retreated, indicating that he did not want to make a move with Meng Xiuyuan.

The speed of his body and the chic movement of his movements are also eye-catching, and he can be said to be not weaker than the predecessors of the Demon Gate like Bian Buzhi and You Bird Tired.

When Meng Xiu saw this scene, he didn't chase after him, but just smiled and said:

"Drinking is free, and I've always liked to have a few drinks with my friends and family.

But if Hou Gongzi really has something to say, we can go to the teahouse and sit for a while. ”

Hou Xibai felt that Meng Xiuyuan's momentum receded like a tide, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly, and politely led the way ahead.

……

In the small teahouse, sitting opposite each other in a quiet corner, there was no more tension between the two of them just now.

Kung Fu has been practiced to such a state as Meng Xiuyuan, and in the face of another innate master, his spiritual character can be roughly inferred between the two breath exchanges.

Meng Xiuyuan deliberately stimulated Hou Xibai just now, and it was precisely for this reason.

In the Pegasus Villa before, Lu Miaozi introduced the two schools of the Demon Gate to Meng Xiuyuan in detail, and once mentioned the outlier of the "Flower School".

It is said that this faction has been passed down from ancient times, and all of them are rare chic talents, often pinning their affection on landscapes, calligraphy and painting beauties, and rarely have the evil deeds of abusing innocents like other people in the demon gate.

When Meng Xiuyuan first saw Hou Xibai just now, he didn't feel the hostile murderous intent on him, and after the intentional test, he also felt that his breath was clear and completely hostile, and he really didn't look like a villain, so he was willing to sit down and chat with the other party.

"I have always heard that Meng Gongzi's martial arts are peerless, chivalrous and upright, and it is really good to see it today.

Thank you Gongzi for giving me this 'Demon Gate Demon' a chance, although I know some things, I'm afraid only Meng Gongzi has the ability to do it......"

Hou Xibai took a sip of the coarse tea in the cup, still with a graceful and elegant posture, without losing his demeanor.

"Your Excellency is polite, please tell me if you have something." Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to listen to some of them, so he said rashly.

Hou Xibai nodded without changing his face when he heard this, and he was no longer polite:

"There are two things to find Meng Gongzi today.

First, it is related to the volume of "Immortal Seal Law" and the safety of Miss Shi Qingxuan, and I ask Meng Gongzi not to be careless......"

While speaking, Hou Xibai secretly lucked his true anger, and lowered his voice more and more, trying to control only around the tea table of the two:

"Another disciple of Shi Shi, Yang Xuyan, is already lurking in Chang'an City at this moment, intending to snatch the Immortal Seal Law and disadvantage Qing Xuan.

He has to pass on the mastery of the Stone Master's other lineage to Mend the Heavenly Pavilion, nicknamed 'Shadow Assassin', he is ruthless, and what he is best at is hidden assassination, at least his martial arts are not below me.

This time, he also has "Fat Jia" An Long, one of the eight masters of the Demon Gate, as his helper, if they are really asked to act, Qing Xuan may be very dangerous......

Meng Xiuyuan was quite strange when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask Hou Xibai:

"Then Yang Xuyan is also a disciple of Shi Zhixuan, I can understand why he wants to snatch the Immortal Seal Method.

But what reason did he have to deal with Shi Qingxuan?

What good did killing his master's daughter do him? ”

Hou Xibai sighed lightly when he heard this, and said to Meng Xiu:

"This matter is a long story, I don't know if Gongzi Meng understands, what kind of person is my Shi Shi?"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, waiting for the other party to explain, Hou Xibai didn't say anything when he saw this, and immediately narrated:

"Shi Shi is quite contradictory, sometimes gentle and elegant, sometimes ruthless, and I sometimes suspect that he is a man of dual personalities.

Speaking of the reason, it is all because he has the martial arts of the two factions of the Huajian School and the Mending Heaven Pavilion, and these two factions of kung fu are diametrically opposed, and they go to extremes.

Mending the sky is to make up for the deficiency of the sky, so you can act on behalf of the sky, specializing in assassination and assassination, the more chaotic the world, the better, take the general, and treat thousands of troops as nothing.

The Huajian faction is the vertical and horizontal family of the rivers and lakes, talking about the means of vertical and horizontal, not fighting many people, not doing despicable things, only one person per generation, the most important knowledge and learning, traveling all over the world, and the soldiers can destroy the country and prosper the country without blood

One of the two is dead and the other is reborn, and the "Immortal Seal Method" was created by Shi Shi to bridge the two factions of martial arts. It's a pity that something went wrong when he was practicing, and he couldn't reach the highest realm, and he fell into some diseases......"

Speaking of this, Hou Xibai's face was slightly gloomy, and he no longer had that chic and free look, and his voice became a little weaker:

"This so-called fork actually refers to the previous generation of Cihang Jingzhai, my master.

If it weren't for the fact that his master had broken Shi Shi's immortal seal, he would have been the first person in the Demon Sect to unify the two schools of the Demon Dao.

And since the death of his wife, there is only one flaw left in Shi Shi's heart, Qingxuan girl, so that he can't forget his feelings, and it is difficult for him to recover his schizophrenia and kung fu to the peak.

Yang Xuyan and the "fat Jia" An Long have their own hearts, but the overall intention is to get rid of Qing Xuan, so that Shi Shi can return to his former evil king nature, and lead them to unify the two schools of the Demon Gate......"

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he suddenly realized that there was such a thing.

However, after he pondered for a while, he couldn't help but find contradictions, and immediately asked Hou Xibai:

"If my guess is correct, the masters of the Demon Gate in the world should have gathered in this Chang'an City recently.

Since Shi Zhixuan still has a father-daughter relationship with Shi Qingxuan, how dare Yang Xuyan and An Long make a mistake in front of him?

If Shi Zhixuan really knew that they were going to kill his daughter, how could he spare them?

If you are really worried about Shi Qingxuan's safety, why don't you tell your master about this directly? ”

Hou Xibai shook his head helplessly, and then explained to Meng Xiuyuan:

"I used to be so willful that I offended Master Shi and made him reluctant to come forward to see me.

With my ability, it is really difficult to take the initiative to find his traces and report this matter to him.

And the reason why Yang Xuyan and An Long dared to act recklessly under Shi Shi's nose all depends on the power of Meng Gongzi.

They know that Shi Shi has somehow regarded you as the biggest enemy in his life, and will use all his skills to deal with you, and it will be difficult to divide too much energy to take care of Qing Xuan's affairs.

If they are lucky enough to succeed secretly, in the end, Xu Shi will also find a way to plant this black cauldron on Meng Gongzi's head, so that Shi Shi will be angry with you, and he will have no time to notice their small movements......"

Speaking of this, Hou Xibai raised his head suddenly, and said earnestly to Meng Xiuyuan with burning eyes:

"I had the pleasure of seeing Qing Xuan in Shuzhong a few days ago, although she was still reluctant to talk to me because she hated Shi Shi, but she still asked me about your news Meng Gongzi......

I've never seen her so attentive to a man, so please don't let her down.

During these days in Chang'an, I also asked Gongzi and Qingxuan to accompany her and protect her at all times, so as not to let Yang Xuyan find an opportunity to be unfavorable to her. ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and when he saw Hou Xibai swearing to look at him, he shook his head with a helpless smile, and replied:

"Thank you for reminding me, I have my own plans for Yang Xuyan's affairs.

I just heard you say that there are two things to find me, so please talk about the second one. ”

Hou Xibai heard Meng Xiuyuan's answer, but out of grace, he couldn't say more, so he could only nod and say calmly:

"The second thing I did when I looked for Meng Gongzi was for the sake of the concubine and the girl.

Two months ago, I heard that Meng Gongzi broke into the Jingnian Monastery and forcibly seized He's Bi, and I wanted to rush to Luoyang immediately to help Concubine Xuan.

It's a pity that I was running errands for Shi Shi in the South China Sea, thousands of miles away from Luoyang, even if I immediately put down my affairs and rushed to go, I was two days late and couldn't meet Meng Gongzi.

Now that he has met Childe, even if Xibai thinks that he is invincible, he still wants to ask Childe for a lesson or two.

Otherwise, I would be so ashamed of Fei Xuan in my heart that I wouldn't dare to call myself her friend again......"

Meng Xiuyuan felt ridiculous in his heart when he heard this, and looked at Hou Xibai, who swore in front of him, and couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

He understood how this person's title of "Amorous Son" came about, as the only descendant of the Demon Gate Flower Sect, he actually had such a dedication to Cihang Jingzhai, no wonder his master Shi Zhixuan was angry and ignored him.

And just as Meng Xiuyuan was about to answer, he saw a familiar figure suddenly flash in at the door of the teahouse, and his voice came softly towards the table of the two:

"Brother Hou is kind, Concubine Xuan understands it.

It's just that Concubine Xuan has never wanted to treat Meng Gongzi as an enemy from beginning to end, and the matter of the Heshi Bi has been settled, and there is no need for disputes between us.

Please don't do this, so that you will cause more trouble to Meng Gongzi......"
