Volume 1 Dead Leaves Return to Dust Chapter 15 Old Trees and Fallen Fruits

The black horn is psychic, as if he feels the uneasiness of his master, and his steps are faster.

"Let's go to Beimu City first. Shangguan Xuanqing stroked the black horn, blew on it, raised his good-looking eyebrows and commanded softly.

"Shhh

When the general was about to get out of the rift, the hair around the black horn stood upside down, the pupils shrank, and the four hooves born from the hidden barbs were scattered, as if he had lost his heart, and the surrounding scenery was rapidly retreating, and it was Ye Ku's chariot and horse that ran out and disappeared.

Shangguan Xuanqing looked at the direction where Ye Ku had disappeared and frowned. She didn't speak, and the Grand Duke Li didn't chase after her, but just stood aside and waited for orders.

"Let's hurry. ”

After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Xuanqing seemed to have a little bit of a spirit in his heart, retreated into the car, and said lightly.

......

"Stop!"

In front of Beimu City, the city guards have suddenly strengthened their vigilance for some reason in recent days, and the inventory of people coming and going has been several times stricter than in the past.

Duke Li didn't want to pay attention to it, but the sergeants must have been accustomed to being powerful, and they rushed up directly with an arrogant face to stop the car, and even stretched out their hands to get a glimpse of what was inside the carriage.

"Ahh

Several wails rang out. It was also when Shangguan Xuanqing pressed the hand of Grand Duke Li that a red divine light reflected from the head of Beimu City, and the red rainbow was pure and pure like a mang, piercing the palm of the city guard sergeant who was about to step forward.

"Click...... The sound of the horse's hooves sounded, but it was Ye Ku's heartless black horn that galloped like the wind, but there was no madness in the eyes of this beast, and when it came closer, the front hooves with faint hair rose and fell, and Ye Ku was turned out of the car at once, and coincidentally fell next to Shangguan Xuanqing, who had just moved under the car.......

A noble man with a beautiful spirit fell from the city. This scene was obviously unexpected by him, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Ku up.

"In Xia Gu Jun, it is on behalf of the Gu family to make amends to His Royal Highness the Prince. I also rushed to Beimu City in a hurry, and I didn't have time to arrange it before such a disrespectful thing happened. Why don't you take it with you!" The man behaved decently, took a step back and arched his hand to the two, neither flattering the superior nor looking down on Ye Wei.

"It's okay, I've always been honest and selfless, but I'm not used to bullying people. Ye Ku patted the dust on his body and waved his hand, anyway, he was just helping Yang Lingling.

But he didn't want a starlight to pass by, so he pressed Gu Jun's saluting hand, Shangguan Xuanqing glanced at Ye Ku, and said lightly: "You have a heart."

Gu Jun smiled, took these things in his eyes, and invited the two into a mansion, Shangguan Xuanqing agreed to live here for Ye Ku.

It turned out that this Gu Jun was the sister-in-law of the Gu family, and he was also the brother of the second son of Gu who was forced to marry. is diametrically opposed to the younger brother who is not successful, he is very talented, and he has gone to the immortal sect since he was a child. His talent is on par with Yang Lingling, but he has been carefully taught by his master since he was a child, and the other is just practicing the Yang family's own exercises, and his achievements are much different.

The ancient kingdom of Daxia is respected by the Tao. The emperor and the sect are not absolutely subordinate to whom, Emperor Xia can exert authority in the four seas, and there are also sects that are transcendent and secular outside, in other words, the status between the core children of a large sect and the princes of the ancient kingdom does not mean that the princes and grandchildren will be superior.

But such a transcendent ancient family and holy land sect are very few after all. The Gu family did not have the confidence to compete with the Great Xia Dynasty. The king of the north personally came forward to help the Yang family block this family business for Ye Ku, which naturally frightened the Gu family. I have never heard of any communication between the Yang family and the Ye family, except for the line between Ye Ku and Yang Lingling, there is really no other good reason.

Although Shangguan Xuanqing and Ye Ku were engaged, Ye Ku didn't dare to make any irregularities in Shangyu. According to the ancestral legal system, the two of them will always return to the north one day, and that day will not be too long, at that time......

Ye Wei was not bored with Gu Jun, on the contrary, he had a good impression. Outside the city, he seemed to be viciously abusing the arms of those city guards, but in fact, he helped them save a life, if Grand Duke Li made a move, it is still unknown whether those few people can make those few wails.

"There will be an auction in Beimu City in three days, if the two Highnesses are not in a hurry, they can go together. Although the Gu family is not a big family, if the two of them like anything, as long as they can do it, I, Gu Jun, will get it for the two of them. ”

"It has to be the stars in the sky. Ye Ku didn't want to admit this, pointed to the sky, and replied casually.

But who would have thought that Gu Jun smiled heartily and said: "Coincidentally, I heard that there is really a falling star this time, but it is just a fragment." As he spoke, he took out a talisman and presented it to Ye Ku, which recorded the lot in detail.

"This is really," Ye Kugan laughed twice, where did he want to get this stubble, "The heavens have heard the wish of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

In the end, it was Shangguan Xuanqing who finalized the matter.

As night fell, Gu Jun took his leave. Ye Ku and the two of them were naturally arranged in a good place to live in Beimu City, standing on the top floor, overlooking the entire Beimu City.

"It's not as good as a fraction of Shangyu. Shangguan Xuanqing stood beside Ye Ku and watched him hold on to the railing and look outside.

Ye Ku looked outside, listened to the crackling sound of a string of firecrackers, watched the city guards change shifts, most of the people went home, and there were a few places in the city that were brightly lit, dotted in this blue and dark night.

He had a dark feeling in his heart, but he didn't know where it came from or why. Although his cultivation is not there, that evil qi is still wrapped around his body, but there is no trace to be found, and there is no trace to catch.

An ancient scroll was spread out on a wooden table between the two. I don't know what kind of material this scroll is, it doesn't get wet with water, it doesn't burn when it meets fire, and sometimes it emits a little dim blue light in the middle of the night, which is very mysterious. Above the scroll was a lonely mountain that was faintly visible surrounded by clouds and mist, with four chains connected in all directions. This thing was in Ye Ku's hands, and he studied it for many days without figuring it out.

He took it out and wanted Shangguan Xuanqing to take a closer look. Although the memory in Ye Ku's mind was full of things, if it was really specific to this world, the royal library of Great Xia might be more useful. But Shangguan Xuanqing was not very sure of his words, saying that he was going back to Shangyu and then going to the library to find it.

"The princess's face is big, and her knowledge is average. Ye Wei made a joke for no reason. Gu Jun said that it was an apology, but he also seized an opportunity, although the Gu family can call for wind and rain in Beimu City, but it is nothing in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, Shangguan Xuanqinggui is the daughter of Emperor Xia, and Ye Ku is the son of the Northern King, where can he usually have the opportunity to meet, in other words, even if he wants to take the line, there is no such way, "Didn't your father urge us to go back?"

Shangguan Xuanqing was stunned for a moment before he realized who the "your father" in Ye Ku's mouth was, after all, even if she was favored, she still had to honestly call her father the emperor in normal times, plus she usually heard it, but she put this most affectionate title in the corner of her heart, and she hadn't heard it for a long time.

"Father doesn't have this intention, but you, do you really want to hurry up?" Shangguan Xuanqing stood up and propped himself on the railing, and said slowly. Some moonlight was falling, and she happened to be right in the middle of it.

"No, no, walk slowly to show some weather. Ye Ku smiled, and didn't look at her, just stared at the night outside the fence.

Shangguan Xuanqing tilted her head, her appearance was a little cute and cute, which did not match her always cold person, and said, "What kind of weather?"

"It's weather. Ye Ku pointed at Xuanqing, and then pointed at himself.

Following.

Gu Jun came early in the morning. It is just a habit for cultivators to follow the work of day and night, but they never expected that Ye Wei would be unable to get out of bed. When he opened the door sleepily, he saw the two people dressed neatly, and immediately closed the door and retreated.

It's not that he's lazy, it's that he wanted to follow the "Wild Scripture" method obtained from the rift last night to trace the traces of that evil qi, vainly trying to wander into that endless darkness, and unconsciously drained his spirit, which shocked him into a cold sweat.

If the spirit is emptied at once, the monk will fall into an eternal unconscious, unable to be liberated into a living dead. Ye Ku still overestimated his perception of the divine soul, and tried in vain to spy on the secret of evil qi with mortal bones, and almost put himself in.

Gu Jun said that he would take the two of them to Beimu City for a walk outside the city.

An old tree has taken root in the south of the city, and there are wooden signs hanging on the tree for blessings. Some of the ordinary wooden plaques are sold and resold to each other, but most of them are cut by the people who pray for the blessings themselves. Every year, a dead branch falls from this old tree, and the wooden sign made of this section of dead wood is naturally sought after by those rich officials.

The name of Beimu City also comes from this, and it is said that this old tree did some amazing things in ancient times, offended the power of heaven, and cut off its vitality under the wrath of heaven. It's just that the dead wood doesn't die, and its life seems to be difficult to break even in the sky, and every year there are dead branches that break down, and there are new branches that sprout, but they grow very slowly, which is why those ordinary people think that this is a sacred tree.

The sacred tree is like a canopy, hanging down the wisps of red thread, which are all decorations that people hang on wooden signs.

Ye Ku stood under the tree, and the people who came to pray for blessings came and went, neither more nor less. Gu Jun took out three small wooden cards, and a faint scent of wood emanated from them, and handed them to Ye Ku and the others.

"If you don't make this thing, will it not work?"

Gu Jun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shangguan Xuanqing to ask like this.

"Then I won't hang up, and I'll come back next time I have the opportunity to make one. Shangguan Xuanqing shook his head, looking a little regretful.

Ye Ku also took the opportunity to say no, he had a different vision, and he looked at these things much more deeply than them.

Just when Gu Jun was a little embarrassed, a black shadow fell down after a burst of branches and leaves, fell to the ground, and rolled to Shangguan Xuanqing's feet.
