Later in the day, the wind and the sun became gentler.

Time flies quickly, and the transition between day and night is only between blinking and breathing.

Gao Zhiye galloped away on his horse, from day to dusk, and now he doesn't know where he is.

The crowds on the side of the streets at the gate of the Tang Kingdom gradually thinned out, and with the sinking sky, they went out of the city and into the city, finding their respective belonging between the city-states.

But the scholar in the green shirt still stood in place, as if he had never moved.

His gaze was always at the end of the official road, looking in a distant unknown direction.

At some point in the past, he had stood here like he did today, watching a prince leave alone.

From time to time, the scholar would think of the figure of the prince, as well as the years of studying in the depths of the Tang Palace, and occasionally smile or sigh when his emotions fluctuated.

Then he would always look down at the ancient book around his waist.

The ancient book was slanted into his waist, fixed on a fixed page, as if he had never flipped through it, or had never read it.

Many people know that scholars carry an ancient book all the year round, and the pages of that ancient book are slightly yellowed, with a faint smell of dead grass, as if it is old.

It's just that no one has read that ancient book, and naturally they don't know what secrets are hidden on it.

Every time the scholar's eyes were removed from the ancient book, the starlight in his eyes would become more and more intense, and the depths of his pupils seemed to hide a vast sea of stars.

When the sky is darker, the dim light is stirred by the wind in the distant sky, bringing a bit of ancient atmosphere.

There is no moon in the sky, no stars.

There is no superfluous view and scenery in sight.

There was only darkness that stretched to the end of this world.

But every time the scholar's eyes turned to the sky, people in many places on this continent could see that a sea of stars suddenly appeared in the endless night sky.

With the change of the scholar's eyes, the light and the light alternate.

Many people were amazed by it and worshipped it as a miracle.

And somewhere in the depths of the Tang Kingdom, between the palaces and pavilions, there was a tall figure in a dark black dragon robe standing there quietly, his eyes were the only one, and he naturally saw the vast stars in the night sky.

and the owner of that star.

Emperor Tang's pupils concealed a deep purple qi, he had been standing here since early in the morning, watching Gao Zhiye leave, watching the scholar stand in front of the city gate for a whole day, and then waiting for the stars in the night sky.

His complexion was calm, with a deep indifference.

Sometime in the past, he had seen the stars that were like tonight.

It's just that at that time, the power in that star was far less powerful than it is now, at least he could still see the end and direction of the starry sky.

But tonight, the stars twinkled in the far reaches of the sky, and even if their eyes were looking at it to the fullest, and even if they were looking for the cause and effect of this world with the power of a saint, they still couldn't see through that star.

Emperor Tang looked at the figure of the scholar in front of the city gate, with deep emotion in his eyes, with a bit of inexplicable atmosphere.

His mood was a little complicated.

Empress Feng didn't know when she came to the high pavilion, she stood quietly beside Emperor Tang, and spoke in the night wind: "I heard that Chief Manager Gao has left Tang Kingdom and gone to the Heaven and Earth Divine Academy. ”

Emperor Tang finally withdrew his eyes, nodded slowly, and said in a cold tone: "I've been walking all day, with the foot strength of that white horse, plus the knife momentum of Manager Gao to open the way, I'm afraid it will be there in a few days." ”

Queen Feng said: "Qing'er suffered a lot this time, and finally arrived at the seminary, and he must not be wronged again." The princes of the world can still be glorious and rich, and enjoy themselves in the imperial city, but why do our young children need to carry so much?"

Speaking of this, Queen Feng's eyes began to moisten, and she continued: "The high priest can still see Qing'er's footprints at first, know where he is, whether he is in danger, and why did he seem to have lost contact suddenly. ”

Emperor Tang hugged the Phoenix Queen into his arms, and he thought of the human master who stood on the top of the peak and held a ring ruler all the year round, and then sighed softly: "Because there is a more learned scholar than him who covers his gaze." ”

Empress Feng was a little surprised when she heard this, thinking that there was a more learned person in this world than the high priest?

She was just about to ask something more, but Emperor Tang suddenly shook his head lightly and motioned for her not to speak.

Because of the darkness, separated by a long distance, the scholar in front of the city gate suddenly turned around, his eyes were shining with stars, and he looked over to the high pavilion.

His gaze is long, with little end.

You can see the direction far away.

But when they turned to the palace pavilion, Emperor Tang and Queen Feng had disappeared.

Leaving only a hollow darkness illuminated by starlight.

Night, sinking gradually.

The scholar quickly withdrew his gaze, and he remained silent, sighing softly, as if he was preoccupied.

And somewhere far away, on the top of a high mountain, the old master with a ring ruler in his hand also saw the starlight.

That piece of starlight rose from the Tang Kingdom, and has been stretching to countless corners of this world, until it comes to this high mountain, and it still does not stop.

There are even a few faint rays of light that have crossed a certain height in the world and gone to places that the world has never looked up to.

The black and white in the old master's eyes began to surge, and he felt the power in the starlight, and his calm and waveless face moved slightly.

After a long time, he began to sigh, and the ring ruler in his hand suddenly lifted, reached high, and stopped the restless starlight.

Then he stood on the top of the earth and spoke, and said to the owner of the starlight: "That book needs to be read more." ”

The words were not loud and soft, but the master was sure that the scholar could hear them.

At the gate of Tang Guocheng, the scholar was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and was taught, bowing lightly in the direction from which the voice came, showing his respect.

Then he glanced at the ancient book on his waist again, his eyes wandered, and the starlight in the sky quickly dissipated.

It's like it never happened.

Night soon came, and he was hidden.

It hides the hearts of many people.

......

......

The scholar's heart of the Tang Kingdom was entangled a thousand times, with a lot of thoughts and thoughts, and he might not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

And in a certain guest house in the Heaven and Earth Divine Courtyard, Tang Qing also couldn't sleep because of his heavy heart.

There is another day that is the day of the selection of the Xuanwu List, and all the contestants are hurrying to adjust their schedules and make final preparations for the battle in the next day.

But he didn't have that mind.

It's been two nights since he came to the seminary, and he's been thinking about the two of them.

A ruffian.

A girl.

Tang Qing was lying on the hard bed, thinking to himself that Ah Diao didn't know if he had come to the Heaven and Earth Divine Courtyard, and he expected that with his lively temperament, he should not miss this Xuanwu list selection.

Moreover, he once boasted about Haikou, saying that he must engrave his name on the Xuanwu list of the Heaven and Earth Divine Academy.

Those days have passed for a long time, but he still remembers them deeply, and I believe that the other party will remember them too.

Thinking that he would be able to meet Ah Diao soon, Tang Qing's calm mouth would always show a subtle smile.

He could even imagine that the moment the two of them met, Ah Diao would definitely lower the brim of his shabby hat, then take a sip of wine, carry the ancient knife, wave to himself in the breeze and sun, and then say: "It's been a long time since I saw Xiao Tianzhen, I'm your bodyguard Ah Diao." ”

Something good and looking forward to.

Thinking of this, Tang Qing closed his eyes slightly, but he still couldn't sleep.

He wondered if Bi Shui Lan was also in the Divine Courtyard, as the daughter of the Moon God, there was no reason why she would be absent from this grand event.

In the past two days, he wanted to go over and inquire about Bi Shuilan's residence, and he really wanted to meet the girl who fell in love at first sight, but because of fame and rumors, he finally gave up.

It's just that the thoughts and torments in my heart are more turbulent than before.

There was even an inexplicable worry.

Because he had already heard that the four saints had come to the temple many days before, and that when he heard the meaning of the blood tiger in that town, those four people were his rivals.

Needless to say, their strength is definitely the top level among the young generation in the mainland.

Needless to say, their identities are already the pinnacle of existence in the world after the saints.

No matter how you look at it, they are no worse than their weak and sickly selves.

And his biggest advantage is that he got to know Bi Shui Lan one step ahead of the four saints, and revealed his heart.

That's all.

Time is the medicine that heals everything, and it is also the test agent to witness the authenticity of a feeling.

Even if he is very relieved about Bi Shuilan, but when it comes to the marriage contract, if the moon god is arbitrary, what can Bi Shuilan do?

Thinking of this, he was even more uneasy.

I was so distressed that I couldn't sleep when I tossed and turned in bed.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, the two people he was thinking about couldn't sleep just like him.

Diao leaned against the head of the bed, pillowing the ancient knife and sighing.

His eyes were wide open, and there was a hazy drunkenness in the depths of his pupils, as if he had just finished drinking a pot of spirits.

In the dim light and shadow, Ah Diao was talking to himself with the smell of wine, scolding: "Mother, I still can't sleep after drinking two pots of wine... Little naïve, little naïve, when will you show up... When Lao Tzu has built the seventh floor, he won't really let me go inside to study by myself..."

At the same time, in a certain wing room of the Heaven and Earth Divine Courtyard, Bi Shui Lan was still lying by the window, looking at the deep dark night on the horizon in a daze.

I don't have the slightest intention of sleeping.

The body of the blood tiger, which was as tall as a building, dangled outside the window, and from time to time he glanced at his little master, with twelve points of helplessness.

The little girl has come in and persuaded her many times, asking her young lady to hurry up and rest, but she was all driven away by Bi Shui Lan.

The day of the selection of the Xuanwu list is getting closer and closer, and the thoughts of Bishui Blue are getting heavier and heavier.

She was very happy at the thought that one day later, she would be able to meet the young man who had been dreaming about her for a long time.

But what if he doesn't come?

Who can afford an empty wait?

Bi Shuilan didn't dare to think about it, she was just silent by the window, not sleepy, with sadness in her eyes, quiet and speechless.

This night, the whole world lost sleep.
