Chapter 37: The Old Man
According to the signal of the fox demon when he was leaving, Meng Yunzhong and I came to the northern suburbs of Lijiang Town, and the fox demon was already waiting there.
"Are you going back now?" asked the fox demon seductively brushing the hair around his sideburns.
"It's a pity, I thought there was a good show. ”
"That person was ...... just now"
"Ouch, Childe still cares about me very much, aren't you afraid that Yinluo will be jealous?" the fox glanced at Meng Yunzhong charmingly, and deliberately teased.
Meng Yunzhong immediately turned his face away and said:
"You're too careful. ”
The fox demon smiled, and then said:
"I'm not going to laugh with you, I'll take you back, right?"
"Wait, there's still no one coming. ”
There was a faint doubt on the fox demon's face, but immediately her face changed slightly.
I smiled slightly: "Don't panic, although this immortal hates demons, he won't hurt you for the time being." ”
As soon as the words fell, the white light flashed in front of our eyes, and Guichen was already standing not far from us, with a look of disdain.
"He's with us too?"
The fox demon turned his face slightly and glanced at Guichen.
"Yes, it's just that this immortal still has some red dust things that can't be put down, so he wants to go with us to take a look. ”
"Monsters are talking nonsense!"
When I returned to the dust and looked at him angrily, I pretended not to see it.
"Let's go back early. Seeing that the three of us were in a strange situation, Meng Yunzhong took my hand and urged.
In the blink of an eye, the sky of Lijiang changed instantly. Wanting to return to dust and Meng Yunzhong to hold the same sword in order to cast spells really made him condescend, and when we stopped at the top of the Immortal Waterfall, he immediately stepped aside and kept a long distance from us.
"Okay, my mission is finally completed, and I'm just waiting to watch the show. ”
The fox demon's gaze flashed over me and Meng Yunzhong, I glared at her, she also knew each other, and she disappeared in a flash.
"Thank you so much for your help this time. ”
Meng Yunzhong saw that there was discord on Guichen's face, so he walked to his side and respectfully said.
"Hmph, a mortal, why is it worth my help? If it weren't for the face of the master of the jade pendant, I would never have come all the way to make such a trip. ”
"It seems that the immortals are indeed very friendly with the owner of this jade pendant, and after saving people, you should have a good time catching up. ”
"Needless to say, let's go and save people. ”
Guichen flicked his sleeves and walked in the direction of Meng Yunzhong on his back, but Meng Yunzhong was not angry. I couldn't help but snicker.
"The immortals stay. We should go down the mountain as soon as possible, the mountain road is here. ”
Meng Yunzhong pointed in the direction of going down the mountain, which was naturally diametrically opposite to the direction that Guichen was taking. Guichen stopped and forcibly did not turn his head. I still couldn't hold back and laughed. Thinking about it, Meng Yunzhong also figured out Guichen's temperament, and when he didn't move, he had more fun.
Meng Jun Villa still appeared to be okay on the surface, but when he entered the hall, he saw Bo Yi sitting in it with his brows furrowed, although he didn't move, it made people feel extremely anxious. Fu Huanen sat on the chair to his left, as if he wanted to persuade from the side, but he was speechless at the moment.
We've only been gone for three days, but we don't want him to be so anxious.
"Big brother. ”
Bo Yi raised his head in response, and immediately opened his eyes wide, his expression was complicated, he only felt that he had waited for this moment for too long, and when he saw Meng Yunzhong, he only saw his own life-saving straw, and everything around him could be ignored. He hurriedly stood up and greeted Meng Yunzhong, forgetting the existence of me and Guichen in the slightest.
But Fu returned the favor, after sweeping Meng Yunzhong, his eyes only stayed on Guichen behind me, he also stood up from his seat, changed his previous calm and calm expression, and looked straight at Guichen, in his eyes, he couldn't tell what was there. And Guichen is also a person who has left a room, only focusing on looking at Fu Huanen, and a thousand words are in his eyes.
"Yun Zhong, have you found that treasure?"
"Big brother, don't worry, the immortal who holds the treasure is also here with us. ”
Bo Yi was ecstatic, and finally turned his attention to me and Guichen. Thinking about it, he also noticed the strange wind and bones, and immediately said respectfully:
"The immortals are great! If you are saved, thank you to the immortals! Thank you to the immortals!"
He thanked him repeatedly, but he didn't know that all Guichen's thoughts were focused on Fu Huan'en, and he was so troubled, although he barely glanced at him, he was obviously a little unhappy.
"Hmph, where are the people?"
"In the inner courtyard, immortals, please come with me!"
Boyi eagerly showed Guichen the way, but Guichen never took his eyes off Fu Huanen. I looked at it like this, and suddenly it felt like their relationship was far from being as simple as we thought. The inextricable meanings in Guichen's eyes made the guess in his heart a little more.
However, Fu Huanen didn't react anything other than to respond with his gaze, just followed behind Bo Yi wordlessly, silently receiving Guichen's gaze.
You Ruojun still lives in Meng Yunzhong's previous courtyard, and it seems that her residence has not been repaired. It's just that after three days, her face is even more ugly. Yun Niang sat on the edge of her bed, reluctantly feeding a bowl of black medicine into her mouth, but most of it trickled down the corners of her mouth.
Yun Niang saw us push the door in, so she put the bowl aside and stood up. But when she saw Guichen who followed into the house, her reaction was somewhat similar to Fu Huanen, she lowered her head slightly, only glanced at Fu Huanen secretly, and then retreated respectfully.
Guichen glanced at her disdainfully, snorted lightly, and shifted his gaze to You Ruojun.
"She's the one you want to save?"
He asked with a disdainful face, although he didn't have a side face, it was obviously to me and Meng Yunzhong.
"Yes, please ask the immortals to help, and you will definitely save her. ”
Before Meng Yunzhong and I could respond, Bo Yi replied first.
"How can such filthy people be saved by me?"
Guichen only glanced at You Ruojun, and then turned his head away. Bo Yi was taken aback when he saw this, a little annoyed, but more anxious.
"Why did the immortal say this? If you have an evil spell in her body, you still hope that the immortal will save her life!"
Bo Yi knew that he couldn't collide with the immortals, so he knelt down on one knee behind Guichen.
"Boyi Hero......" Yun Niang frowned slightly, and was also taken aback by Boyi's sudden move.
"Hmph!" Guichen still dismissed, and only turned around to deal with him, "You, come out with me." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guichen had already walked out of the room by himself, Fu Huanen and Yun Niang looked at each other for a short time, looked at us again, and then walked out with Guichen. Bo Yi was completely at a loss for what to do, and was stunned for a moment before he stood up and looked at Meng Yunzhong with a puzzled gaze.
"Big brother, don't worry, since the immortals are here, they will naturally save Ruojun's life. ”
Bo Yi turned his gaze away for the time being, but his face was still full of doubts and worries.
"Miss Yinluo......" At this time, Yun Niang looked at her mouth hesitantly, "The concubine has something to say to you...... May I ask the girl to move to the inner hall?"
"Good. ”
And for good reason. Ever since I saw that day when Guichen saw Fu Huan'en's expression when he left the jade pendant, I concluded that the story between Fu Huan'en and Yun Niang was far more simple than what she told me before.
Behind You Ruojun's tent, there is indeed a relatively spacious inner hall, which is simply furnished, and it should be a place for Meng Yunzhong to read in his spare time.
"Girl......"
Yun Niang wanted to speak and stopped, maybe she didn't know where to ask, she just looked at me, and from her eyes, I could read some questions.
"We didn't ask for a return to the dust, it was all his own will. "I guess her question must have something to do with Guichen, so I get to the point.
"The girl has always been empathetic, and the concubine is in front of you, so you don't have to hide anything. ”
"In other words, are you willing to talk about your relationship and return to dust?"
"Concubine ......"
"If you have scruples, it's okay not to say anything. Just say what you want to know when you called me in?"
"Don't hide it from the girl, I don't know how he mentioned Xianggong when you met Guichen this time?
I thought about it, but I still couldn't guess what she meant.
"Nope. At this moment, I don't have to hide it, the token mentioned by the eldest young master Fu that day happened to have been picked up by me by accident, so it didn't take too much effort to find this maple stepping immortal named Guichen in Yifeng Valley. ”
"Did the girl really find the jade pendant? Can the girl tell the concubine where she found it?"
"A vacant lot on the southeastern outskirts. ”
Yun Niang's expression flickered at first, but immediately, her eyes revealed deep sadness.
"If it's really there......"
The development of the situation is really more and more curious, Yun Niang actually knows that place.
"Now that you know, you shouldn't let Rou Wing continue like this, otherwise, you may not know how much disaster it will bring to this Suining Town. ”
"Can the girl agree to the concubine?"
"You say. ”
"In any case, please don't tell the princess about her sister. The concubine should try her best to persuade her, but not to bring disaster to the people of this town. ”
"Isn't that jade pendant left there by Master Fu himself?"
"This jade pendant, the concubine once saw the princess give it to her sister. Yun Niang paused, "What the girl is thinking at the moment, Yun Niang knows, one day, the girl will fully understand." That day may come soon. ”
I didn't seem to understand, even though I tried to connect all the clues, I still found that there were too many loopholes, how many things did I not know?
Before I had time to ask, Yun Niang bowed down and walked out silently. Looking at her back at this moment, there seems to be an indescribable gloom and melancholy.
"Yinluo, are you alright?"
Meng Yunzhong came to me at some point and woke me up from my infinite contemplation.
"It's fine. Yun Zhong, I have something to tell you in a moment. ”
"Let's go out first. ”
"Good. ”
When I got out of the inner hall, I saw that Guichen and Fu Huanen had returned, and looking at their expressions, it was as if nothing had happened. Guichen still had a proud expression, while Fu Huanen continued to stand quietly aside, Yun Niang was still beside You Ruojun's bedside, Bo Yi was still looking at Guichen with an anxious and begging expression, and You Ruojun was lying quietly.
"You, go and make a decoction to save people. Everyone else went out, with me and him. Guichen was caught off guard and said to Yun Niang and Fu Huanen successively.
Although Boyi was not at ease, he could only go out. And just as I walked to the door with Meng Yunzhong, Guichen suddenly said:
"Monsters and so on, you also stay. ”
I looked at him, then at Meng Yunzhong, and motioned for him to go out first. Then I was left alone and closed the door.
"Isn't the power of an immortal enough to save her?"
I smiled at Guichen, coldly arousing a hint of annoyance, but the more he did this, the atmosphere was not as awkward as before.
"Hmph!
"If you want to save Miss Ruojun, you still need the girl's help to borrow the divine sword she wears. Fu Huan'en was the opposite of returning to the dust, he walked over and said humbly and politely.
"The Sword of Healing?" I frowned slightly.
"The girl can rest assured, she is not here today, not to mention that there are Feng Immortals, and no one dares to be unreasonable to the girl. ”
When Fu Huanen said this, Guichen glanced at him, revealing a lot of dissatisfaction.
"But why is it the Sword of Harmony?"
"If there is no divine sword to protect me, it is really a pity that my Xiao will be destroyed on such a filthy person. I really don't know why you want to save her, and if you do, why don't you want to drive this turbid gas out of her body?"
"I think that Miss Ruojun does have her own troubles. Fu Huanen replied forcefully.
I smiled coldly and turned my face away.
I silently recited a mantra in my mouth, and the room was immediately filled with golden light, and immediately, a lightning-sharp sword appeared, hanging in front of You Ruojun's bed.
Guichen and Fu Huanen both looked at it, and there was always something indescribable in their expressions, just like when Guichen saw it for the first time the day before yesterday, there were admiration, doubts, surprises, and a trace of indescribable melancholy.
"The Sword of Firmament is here, do I need to avoid it?"
"The girl can go to the inner hall and wait. Fu Huanen was stunned for a moment before he said to me politely.
Taking advantage of the time to return to the dust and cast spells, I carefully checked the furnishings in the inner hall, and privately wanted to know more about Meng Yunzhong's daily life. In addition to some common ancient books, Meng Yunzhong seems to have collected a few lesser-known calligraphy and paintings, but looking at the brushstrokes, it is indeed a little special, neither obviously vigorous and powerful, nor casual understatement, but a little idle and leisurely hidden in the middle, but no matter how carefully pondered, you can see a little melancholy from the idleness. This inevitably makes me unconsciously guess the reason why Meng Yunzhong collected them, could it be that his thoughts are also like these calligraphy and paintings, faintly hiding many sad things that he doesn't want to remember?
Looking at these calligraphy and paintings, I don't know that an hour has passed quietly, and I don't know when Guichen has entered the inner hall with the sword of cangrong, and is standing opposite me.
"A monster will appreciate these too?"
It seemed that every word of Guichen would not have a good tone, and I came back to my senses.
"You Ruojun is okay, right?"
Guichen ignored my inquiry.
"It's blasphemy to put this sword in your place. ”
He let go of the sword in his hand, and I gently urged the spiritual power, and the sword turned invisible again. At this time, Fu Huanen also slowly walked into the inner hall, for some reason, his face was a little pale, showing a little weakness.
"If Miss Jun is fine, she can recover after a short rest, and the girl will go out and have a look. "Still polite.
Maybe it was because of Fu Huanen's pale face, but suddenly, I felt that he was a little similar to Guichen, and even the breath on his body was faintly as clear as Guichen.
"Such filthy people are not enough to be appeased. You, come out with me. It's still a blunt tone, and for some reason, it's always a little strange to return the favor to the dust.
After they all walked out of the room, I also went out of the inner hall, and Bo Yi and the others had already come in from outside the house and stood beside You Ruojun's bed. I walked up to Meng Yunzhong, looked at his somewhat melancholy expression, and held his hand.
"Ruojun ......"
Bo Yi carefully bent down and softly called You Ruojun's name. At this time, You Ruojun's face was indeed a lot more bloody, and the pale sideburns and wrinkles on his face also disappeared, as if he was asleep. As soon as Bo Yi said this, she opened her eyes slightly, first looked at Bo Yi, and then slowly moved her gaze to me and Meng Yunzhong.
Immediately, there was a lot of anger in her eyes, if it weren't for the fact that she hadn't recovered much strength just now, I was afraid that she would be excited again. And at this moment, she could only look at me resentfully.
"Miss Ruojun, this time thanks to Meng Daxia and Yinluo for finding immortals. Yun Niang seemed to be deliberately easing the atmosphere.
But You Ruojun didn't appreciate it at all, she supported her body, as if she wanted to sit up, but her eyes were still staring at me. Seeing this, Bo Yi quickly sat on the edge of the bed and helped her up.
"She's not so kind. You Ruojun said hatefully.
"It seems that Sister You's body still needs to rest, Yun Zhong, let's not disturb her for now, and when she is better, let's come to see her again, right?" I avoided her gaze and turned to Meng Yunzhong.
"It's fine. Meng Yunzhong said lightly.
I could almost imagine the expression on You Ruojun's face at this time, but I didn't look back, and after Meng Yunzhong greeted Bo Yi and Yun Niang, we left the room together.
"Yinluo. Out of the room, Meng Yunzhong suddenly stopped, and only looked at me solemnly with a frown.
I responded to him with a look in my eyes.
"Do you know what kind of evil art is in You Ruojun?"
His sudden question left me a little dazed.
"I don't know. ”
"Well, when she recovers, I will find the answer to my doubts. ”
I nodded, silently accompanying him on his way.
"Monster stop!"
There was a sound of returning to dust behind him, and Meng Yunzhong and I both stopped and turned our heads to look at him.
Fu Huanen was by his side, and his complexion was much better, but with the impression just now, I felt more and more that they had too many similarities.
"Half an hour later, come to me at the Yuanwai Mansion. Guichen said coldly.
I was slightly surprised, he was going to Yuanwaifu? But he didn't let me have any questions, so he walked in front of me and Meng Yunzhong with Fu Huanen, who seemed to look at me sideways, but in the end only left his back.
"He ......" Meng Yunzhong was even more confused, looking at me with a little worry, "Isn't it going to be bad for you?"
I also shook my head and said, "I'll know when I go in a while." ”
