The vigil does not return

Xu Changan returned to the Hou Mansion full of joy, the moon was already hanging high, and the fragrance of earth remained in the air.

When he pushed open the door, he saw some wolf halberds in the courtyard, two figures scurrying around in the courtyard, and Chai Xintong and others were holding their hands and watching this scene.

"What's going on?" Xu Chang'an's arrival didn't affect the two figures chasing in the courtyard at all.

Chai Xintong spread his hands and said, "It's nothing, Xiaobai and Shen Lang." ”

Xu Changan was still a little suspicious, Chai Xintong added: "This Shen Lang, while Xiaobai was sleeping with his belly open, he didn't know who he was learning from, and threw Xiaobai into the well, but you little white cat, not a mortal thing, after screaming twice in the well, he ran out by himself." If it were any other cat, it would be scared to death if it didn't drown. ”

Xu Changan was a little surprised by the speed of this Shen Lang, his speed at this time was comparable to Xiaobai, although Xiaobai was suspected of releasing water, but the speed of one person and one cat also surpassed that of ordinary adults.

For Xiaobai, Xu Changan can figure it out, after all, he has the blood of a divine beast, and there are many wonders on his body, not to mention that Xu Changan doesn't know, maybe Xiaobai himself doesn't know.

But at this time, Shen Lang is just a child, and it is really surprising that his speed can reach this point.

"What's going on with his speed?"

Chai Xintong hugged his hand again, touched his chin and said, "If this kid is willing to study hard, I am moved by his qualifications." ”

Looking at Xu Changan's confused expression, Chai Xintong pointed to the one person and one cat he was chasing.

"This kid, I don't know if it's intentional, or if he knows that he can't drown Xiaobai, after he threw that little guy into the well, he came to me and begged me to teach him to cultivate, and he also knew the basics to open the key. ”

Chai Xintong's eyes had both regret and joy, and he continued: "It's not unusual to know that the key is opened, and it's not strange, after all, his family background was not bad before, and it's normal to be able to understand these things." What surprised me was that I casually taught him a little method, and he was able to get through the four major tricks from the dantian to the left calf in a short period of time, and what surprised me even more was that I hadn't told him the method yet, and when he saw the figure of Xiaobai chasing him, he was able to run the little qi in the dantian by himself and speed up his speed. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Shen Lang's figure and said, "Look carefully, is there something incongruous, his left half of his body and the right half of his body?"

Hearing this, Xu Changan looked at Shen Lang carefully, and it was really as Chai Xintong said, his body was uncoordinated, although the speed was fast, the left leg was obviously faster, and the right leg was more like being dragged along.

If you slow down Shen Lang's movements at this time, you will find that he is more like a cripple now, and his right leg is not able to use his strength.

Xu Changan thought for a while, looked at Shen Lang, who was a little embarrassed, and suddenly said: "Run the little 'qi' left in your dantian, condense it at your calf, hold the tree with your hand, assist your right leg as a fulcrum, and then come out with your left leg!"

Seeing that Xiao Bai showed his claws, and the claws were still shining cold, he didn't have time to think about it, so he did as Xu Changan said, and the warm 'qi' in his body condensed on his calf, and then kicked hard, and the white figure hit his calf, and then a miserable scream came to everyone's ears, and the white figure was thrown from the low trees by the wall.

Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead that were shining in the moonlight.

After he took two breaths, he remembered Xiaobai and hurriedly ran to the corner.

Xu Changan was not worried, after all, Xiao Bai and him took the blow of the eldest prince who was already a little grandmaster.

He looked at Xiao Bai, who looked nervous, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, there was a scream from the corner of the wall, and I saw a few traces of blood on Shen Lang's face, and Xiaobai was lying on top of his head, and his body was full of mud after the rain.

The bodies of a man and a cat are dirty.

Xu Changan smiled, lifted Xiaobai down, and then asked someone to boil a pot of water and make a basin, Xu Changan directly threw Xiaobai into it, while Shen Lang went to wash it himself.

When the people and cats were cleaned up, Xu Changan made a face.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Shen Lang lowered his head and said nothing.

Chai Xintong was a little confused, I don't know why Xu Changan suddenly asked like this, didn't he explain everything to him clearly?

Xu Changan lifted Xiaobai's neck, shook it twice, and said to Xiaobai: "What benefits did he give you, is he giving you a few dried fish, or accompanying you to catch mice, or giving you a few mice? ”

Xiaobai screamed aggrievedly, lowered his head, the cute little head was still wet, and his eyes were a little moist.

"Don't pretend to be wronged!" Xiaobai still looked at Xu Changan with teary eyes.

Xu Chang'an's heart softened, put it down, and then looked at Shen Lang.

"You lied to Mr. Chai Xiao just now, he taught you how to open the key, since he taught you, you also learned, so you have to be his apprentice, fortunately you found it early, otherwise when you go to Shushan, you will be found out that your hands and feet will be abolished according to the rules. ”

Shen Lang was so frightened by this remark that his face turned pale.

Xiaobai just wanted to scream, and then he saw Xu Changan's cold eyes like a blade.

Chai Xintong and the other three also understood what Xu Changan meant, and the three of them didn't say a word.

Shen Lang likes to cultivate but hates those books, so he can only say honestly: "Playing with Xiaobai in the past few days, I found that its breathing seems to be regular, and then it asked me to learn from it, and I also saw a bright light on my body, I tried to let the heat in my body run like that strand." It hurt so much that I seemed to have fainted, and Xiaobai refused to teach me when he saw it, so I discussed it with it and thought of this method, at the cost of ten dried fish. ”

After Shen Lang finished speaking, he lowered his head, Xiaobai let out a "meow" and stroked his forehead with his little paws.

"It's really useless, ten dried fish can be tricked. ”

Xu Changan snorted, and pushed Shen Lang in front of Chai Xintong, who understood and grabbed Shen Lang, who was a little resistant.

The two glanced at each other, and Chai Xintong said in a deep voice: "He has already cleared ten tricks." ”

Xu Changan looked at him, but he didn't expect that this kid would soon have the qualifications to become a disciple of the outer mountains of Shu Mountain.

At the same time, he remembered Xiao Bai's set of exercises, Xiao Bai had taught him a long time ago, but later he was busy with the cultivation of "Breaking Sword Technique", so he put this exercise down temporarily. (Be useful, as mentioned in the first volume.) ）

Xu Changan looked at Shen Lang, thought about it, then walked into the house, took out a copy of "Imperial Sword Technique" and handed it to Shen Lang.

"Then, you want to be beautiful, just your virtue, and you want to be their apprentice!" said and threw the "Imperial Sword Technique" to Shen Lang, Shen Lang was so happy that he grinned when he saw the Imperial Sword Technique.

......

With Mo Qingshui's consent, Xu Changan was finally able to walk side by side with the beauty.

As soon as the time passed, Xu Changan waited at the door, and when Mo Qingshui walked out clumsily with a big piano on his back, he walked side by side with her.

Neither of them spoke, as if they were just strangers on the same road.

The streets that have just been sprinkled with light rain look particularly spiritual, Chang'an is a place to seek dreams, and it is also a place where dreams are broken.

A down-and-out painter who was about to leave Chang'an soon after saw the backs of the two, and suddenly inspiration was like a spring, and he drew this scene with a pen.

Under the rain-stained eaves and streets, a fairy-like female luthier in white carried a harp on her back, and the big piano covered her head, and only a pair of hair could be seen.

And beside the woman, the spirited young man in green shirt held an umbrella, which was not on the heads of the two of them, but on top of the piano.

Pedestrians on the side of the road occasionally stop and look at the matching man and woman.

The artist bit the extra pen that he could not use for the time being, and quickly swung it on the paper, finally completing the picture before the backs of the two men disappeared.

The painter thought about it and put the words "Evening Rain Retreat" on the scroll.

Xu Changan and Mo Qingshui didn't speak, but Xu Changan's heart was beating a little hard, and Mo Qingshui also lowered his head and couldn't see his expression.

The two arrived at Mo Qingshui's place, just like last night, Xu Changan sat on the stool, Mo Qingshui curled up in the rocking chair, everything seemed quiet and beautiful.

And in the distance, where the two of them couldn't sense it, the group was looking in this direction.

Tao Haijin was wearing an official uniform, and his big belly was particularly obvious, and he frowned.

"Why did Zhongyihou come here?" he said to himself.

He naturally knows Xu Chang'an, if it is said that the prince of Pingshan may not have seen it, but the loyalty and righteousness of this victorious return are known to everyone.

The rain hit the eaves, ticking, Xu Changan's heart also beating, and he seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of the girl.

Compared with their tranquility and beauty, Tao Haijin was a little impatient.

He immediately turned his head and asked Tao Fangfang.

"Do you know what the relationship between this loyalty and righteousness is with Mo Wuchang?"

Tao Fangfang shook his head and said: "It seems to be okay, this Mo Wuchang has not appeared before, and recently suddenly appeared in Huanxi Lou to perform arts, I accidentally turned to a picture that day, and I was sure that this Mo Wuchang was Ji Fangping's apprentice." ”

"That picture is Ji Fangping holding a girl's hand, although the girl has grown up, her eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as this Mo Wuchang. ”

When Tao Haijin heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "Monitor well, when Zhongyi is gone, all change into night clothes, don't alarm others, and directly take this Mo Wuchang away!"

At the same time, inside the Fengming Pavilion.

The eldest prince's pupils shrank when he heard the news.

He dismissed the scouts, let the song and dance disperse, pacing back and forth in the hall.

The royal family of the previous dynasty was surnamed Ji, and the Ji family naturally also had a Nine Dragon Talisman, but neither his father nor the Generalissimo Xu had ever found the Nine Dragon Talisman of the Ji family, and Ji Fangping, the only bloodline of the Ji family, also died a few years ago, leaving only one apprentice, Mo Qingshui.

That's why he suddenly appeared next to Mo Qingshui's elderly grandmother, and took care of her all the time, and when Mo Qingshui returned to Chang'an, he was even more benevolent, wanting to get close to Mo Qingshui and set out the location of the Nine Dragon Fu.

But Mo Qingshui always looked cold, and even said that in order to repay her kindness, she could help the eldest prince do three things.

When Mo Qingshui's grandmother was alive, Mo Qingshui occasionally had a good face towards him, but since her grandmother left, Mo Qingshui had never smiled at him, which made him feel that it was almost impossible to make Mo Qingshui willingly tell the location of the Nine Dragon Fu.

But he still waited patiently, even if it was the last thing to let Mo Qingshui bring He Chen to him this time, he had never forced Mo Qingshui, and occasionally ate her jealousy.

He originally wanted to slowly find out the whereabouts of the Nine Dragon Fu, but he didn't expect that this news would be known to Tao Haijin.

Even Tao Haijin has set up an ambush and is ready to arrest her.

The eldest prince thought for a while, his eyes revealed a killing intent, he clapped his hands, and five people wearing golden tights and covering their faces suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Don't let Tao Haijin catch her!" he gave the order, and the five men were about to leave, when another scout hurried in.

The scout did not speak, but was half-kneeling, holding a painting in both hands, and respectfully handed it to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince unfolded the painting, his face suddenly turned pale, he snorted coldly, and slapped the painting on the table.

"Wait!" he called out to the five men, the five people who had been sent to protect Mo Qingshui.

"Bring that back, remember, don't let Tao Haijin recognize her identity, don't let that be injured, and don't make too much noise!"

The eldest prince snorted coldly and immediately changed the order.

When he had done all this, he brushed his sleeves and left.

A gust of wind blew in, and the scroll rolled, and the painting unfolded, with four words on it.

"Evening Rain Retreat"

......

Xu Changan sat quietly like a girl who had been raising a cat, and when the moon came out, the wind was slightly cold, and Xu Changan turned his head to look at the girl's face.

She seemed to frown just now.

Xu Changan immediately said: "It's a little cold, rest early, I'll wait for you here tomorrow and accompany you to Huanxi Building." ”

The girl nodded, saying only one "good" word.

Xu Changan stood up and walked out of the alley, turning the corner where he used to stare at the girl in the past.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, the girl's face suddenly became solemn, and the wind seemed to be more urgent, and several embroidery needles appeared in her cuffs.

At this moment, two cold rays stabbed at her at the same time, and embroidery needles came out of her cuffs, blocking the two darts.

This way of attacking was somewhat familiar, and she smelled a familiar smell, although it was a little faint, but she still recognized it, it was the smell of the eldest prince, she had a heart, and she also sprinkled different flavors of powder on the eldest prince's body

Mo Qingshui frowned, she didn't know why the dead man of the eldest prince would come to her.

But fortunately, I am somewhat familiar with them, and they work in groups of five to carry out assassination or treasure hunting missions.

The division of labor between the five people is clear, two people are the main attackers, one person is wait-and-see, if the two miss, the other person will immediately make up for it. The remaining two, one of whom is responsible for guarding the environment.

The last one, the four of them, didn't know where their companions were.

Said to be a companion, in fact, that person is more like a knife.

He hid his face from his companions, and his strength was the highest among no one, and if four of them were lost and captured, he would kill them, and if the four were dead and the task was not completed, he would retreat or carry out the mission alone, according to the order.

This last person also has a title, which is called: "The vigil does not return." ”
