As soon as everyone arrived at the gate of Xingyuan, they saw Yaru standing on the side of the road, and today she was dressed in plain clothes, looking elegant, low-key and beautiful.

When she saw Luo Yan and the others come out, she didn't speak, but just silently followed behind everyone (shēn).

In front of the Lingle Immortal Sect, Yaqin had already received the news, and at this time, the five people with the Golden Bird were already waiting under the archway outside the sect, and when they saw them coming, everyone inevitably had a round of greetings.

In the end, Luo Yan politely declined everyone's send-off, and Lone (shēn) left the Lingle Immortal Sect alone and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Looking at Luo Yan's distant back, Linuo, Mo Lingyun's eyes were moist, and their hearts were uncomfortable.

Over the years, they have been by Luo Yan's side, and they have been invisibly attracted by his integrity, generosity, and tenacity (xìng) character, and even his gestures of touching his nose are so handsome.

今 (rì) farewell, I don't know when I will be able to see you again?

The five people including the Golden Bird saw that Mo Lingyun and the other seven people had been separated for less than two years, and their cultivation had all been upgraded by one level, and their hearts were also mixed.

Yaqin also found out that the cultivation of several of them had improved from the last time they met, and felt incredible, so she quietly asked Yaru.

As a result, Yaru also smiled bitterly and said: "Mu Gongzi is a mysterious man, if you want to know the reason, you should ask him in person." ”

Before leaving Zhongzhou City, Luo Yan went to the street where the shop was located one last time, and then went out of the city, driving the dragon bird flying boat in the direction of Chiyuan City, with the map given by Gu Wanquan, he didn't have to worry about getting lost.

More than a month later, he flew over a mountain peak, and saw in the distance a quaint city in front of him shrouded in a dense aura, red city walls, red pavilions, and even the roads outside the city were paved with red stones.

After observing for a while, he landed on a slope not far outside the city, and then walked along the road paved with red boulders towards the city gate.

Unlike other cities, the entrance to this Chiyuan Castle was not guarded by armor warriors, except for a few monks in red robes (shēn) sitting on stone chairs next to the door, watching the flickering light curtain above the doorway.

The people who entered the city lined up in a long line and passed under the doorway one after another.

Luo Yan noticed that whenever someone passed through the doorway, the light curtain above flashed, and most of the time (qíng) glowed white, with occasional yellow light.

But whenever the yellow light came up, the seated red-robed monks would glance at the people who passed by.

After discovering this detail, Luo Yan began to pay attention to the people passing below when the yellow light lit up.

When the yellow light lit up again, without waiting for Luo Yan to check, a handsome man in front of him said to himself:

"Another demon monk, this is already the ninth today, right?"

His voice was not loud, but Luo Yan still heard it, so he shook the folding fan in his hand and asked, "This fellow Daoist, where is the demon clan monk you are talking about?"

The man in front turned his head to look at Luo Yan and replied disdainfully:

"Don't you see the yellow light on the city gate? When we Terran monks passed, they all lit up with white light, and only the demon monks emitted yellow light. ”

Luo Yan's guess was confirmed, and he confirmed the meaning of the color of the light curtain, so he smiled at the handsome man and said:

"When I first came here, I didn't know about this (qíng) situation, so I thank you for your guidance. ”

The handsome man in front of him smiled slightly, stopped talking, and continued to look

to the light curtain.

After another stick of incense, it was finally the turn of the handsome man to pass through the doorway, only to see him walk through the door with a light gait, and the light curtain above emitted a soft white light, and he walked straight over without looking.

Then Luo Yan also walked through the city gate step by step, and when he came to the city, the handsome man just now said to him:

"Scholar, Ben...... For the sake of your first visit, this son kindly reminds you that the arowana in this Chiyuan City is mixed, don't run around if you have nothing to do, be careful of losing your life. ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Luo Yan to answer, and the (shēn) form floated away.

"Thanks for the reminder, remember it below. Luo Yan thanked the disappearing back. Then follow the pedestrian.

In front of a grocery store, he stopped, looked at it, and then walked in, and soon after, he walked out with a book in his hand.

Then he went to a few more shops, all of which were just to buy some books, and finally came to a medium-sized inn, asked for a lot of rooms, and began to look at the books he had purchased.

A day later, Luo Yan walked out of the room again and walked down the street towards the south of the city.

In a book he collected, it was mentioned that there was a Ye family compound in the south of the city, but he didn't know if the Ye Qianxue he was looking for was still there.

He followed this little clue in the book, combined with the memory of the old man, and searched for three whole days in the south of the city, but found nothing.

However, what made him feel strange was that he obviously felt that the Ye family's compound should be nearby, but he couldn't find it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to come to a time-honored restaurant, ask for a pot of spirit wine, and then ask Xiao Er:

"I heard that there is a Ye family compound here, I don't know where it is located?"

Xiao Er replied while laying out the dishes and chopsticks: "The Ye family's compound disappeared more than two hundred years ago, and the fire burned for seven days and seven nights, most of the people of the Ye family were swallowed up by the flames, and the few people who escaped were also trapped and didn't know where to go." ”

After hearing this, Luo Yan touched his nose and asked again, "Then do you know who took them away?"

Xiao Er said: "You better ask others about this, we are just businessmen, and we are not involved in disputes." With that, he walked back to the counter and said no more.

Luo Yan saw that Xiao Er didn't want to say more, and it was inconvenient to continue to ask, but from the other party's words just now, he still felt that the fire back then was a little strange.

At this moment, there was also a black-faced young monk in the tavern, and after hearing the conversation between the two, he secretly observed Luo Yan for a while, and then walked over with a wine glass and sat at a table with Luo Yan.

The black-faced monk drank a cup of wine alone and asked, "I heard that Daoist friends are inquiring about what happened here two hundred years ago (qíng), who are you from the Ye family?"

Luo Yan also observed this uninvited young man, and saw that one of them (shēn) was upright, his eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to have any malice, so he also took a drink and replied:

"I was entrusted by a deceased person to hand over a brocade box to a senior in the Ye family's compound, and I happened to come to Chiyuan City this time, so I was ready to fulfill someone else's last wish by the way. ”

After hearing this, the black-faced young man tilted his neck and swallowed another glass of wine, and then said, "Daoyou, can you let me see the brocade box?"

Luo Yan said: "This makes me a little embarrassed, I promised others that I wouldn't show the brocade box until I saw Senior Ye." ”

The black-faced young monk did not feel embarrassed when he heard this, but smiled and was unhurried

's whisper said: "Daoyou keeps his promise, and Ling is impressed." ”

He then returned to his seat and, after a few more drinks, left the restaurant.

It's just that when he went out, he suddenly said: "A hundred miles south of the city, in the nightless building, there is the information you need." ”

Luo Yan looked at the direction in which the young monk left, pondering the credibility of the words he left behind, and finally decided to go to the Nightless Tower to investigate, even if it was a trap, this was the only clue at present.

The distance of 100 miles was just a moment's journey for Luo Yan, but when he came to the Sleepless Tower, he was a little hesitant to go in.

It turned out to be a place of fireworks, with a three-story attic decorated in pink silk, and a dozen (shēn) women with heavy makeup standing at the door, waving silk scarves in their hands, beckoning passers-by.

And the men who enter and exit here are all confused in their eyes, and their eyes wander back and forth between these women (shēn).

Luo Yan lingered outside for a long time, and finally walked forward.

Near the entrance of the Nightless Tower, a woman with a fragrant shoulder in her hand held a handkerchief and watched the people who entered.

When she saw Luo Yan coming, she immediately shook the Jinpa in her hand, greeted her, and said with a scent in her mouth:

"The son is gentle and elegant, and at first glance he is a knowledgeable person, so let the slave family serve you. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Luo Yan to answer, he grabbed his arm and pulled him into the nightless building.

After passing through the hall on the first floor, walking up the stairs to the second floor, Luo Yan explained in a low voice: "The girl misunderstood, I came to look for someone." ”

The woman holding him waved to the passers-by (shēn) and replied in a low voice with a smile: "The slave family knows that the men who come here are looking for people. ”

After hearing this, Luo Yan leaned to the side a little, wanting to pull her arm out of her arms.

As a result, the woman felt Luo Yan's movements, but as soon as her arm was forced, her body turned upside down, and she said in her mouth (jiāo):

"Childe, don't worry, so many people are still watching, wait until you get to the room, okay?"

After speaking, she looked at Luo Yan with clear eyes, and her head shook slightly.

In the eyes of others, this was a seductive discharge, but Luo Yan immediately understood in his heart, and then walked to the third floor with his arms around her waist.

After reaching the third floor, they stopped in front of a room with a "Jade Lotus Xuan" sign hanging on the door, and then pushed the door to enter.

After Luo Yan entered, the woman immediately closed the door, closed the curtain, and then said (jiāo): "Childe, wait a while, let the slave family change clothes and play a song for you." ”

Then, she placed Luo Yan in the room, walked to the back by herself, and casually put down the white gauze.

After a few moments, a woman (shēn) dressed in a chiffon white dress and a pale green gauze robe walked out, sat down by the guqin behind the sara, and played softly.

The strings are plucked by the fingers of the onion, and the melody is melodious, like a natural sound, which is intoxicating.

The sound of the piano warms the atmosphere in the room, and even if someone hears it outside, they feel like they see a piece of light (chūn).

Luo Yan calmed down, enjoying the beautiful music, and only after the song was over, he asked, "The fairy brought me here, presumably not just to listen to the music, right?"
