II. Chapter 8

"That's right, it's Wuxinyuan. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that there was anyone who didn't know about this place, and then looked behind Jiang Ming and said, "You....... Are you here to attend the meeting?"

"Yes. ”

Jiang Ming nodded, and took out the jade pendant from his arms, but the strange emotions in his heart suddenly became more complicated, as if they were heavy, and this emotion, from the moment he stepped into Wutong City, followed him closely, looming.

As soon as the young man saw the jade pendant, he immediately stood up, straightened his expression, and arched his hand: "My name is Cheng Li, and I am here to receive the distinguished guests who came here on the order of the teacher." ”

Jiang Ming saw that the young man suddenly looked extremely solemn, and he was suddenly a little at a loss, forced down the emotions in his heart, and immediately said, "My name is Jiang Ming." ”

Although Cheng Li's face was green, his words and actions were serious, which was slightly inconsistent with his age, I saw him purse his lips, then bent down and picked up a long sword from the ground, and said, "Presumably the two of you are from Little Taoyuan Villa, please come with me." ”

Jiang Ming nodded, turned his head and shouted "Senior Sister", Li Mengru also walked over, and after introducing each other to Cheng Li, the three of them stepped into the gate of this Wuxin Courtyard.

The scenery in the courtyard is charming, the tall plane trees are neatly arranged along the winding path, the branches cover the blue sky, and the path under the feet is paved with scattered fallen leaves, as far as the eye can see, like a quiet and deep passage, there is no end in sight, there is no human voice, only faint birdsong.

Jiang Ming looked around carefully, the courtyard was not small, but it was quite empty, giving people a feeling of coldness and depression, but compared with the bustle outside, this place also had a unique charm, just like a paradise.

Li Mengru's eyes showed a strange look, and she said to Cheng Li: "This courtyard is quite big, and it is so delicate and elegant, presumably the Cloud City Lord is also a person who is quite leisurely and elegant, right?"

Cheng Li frowned and thought for a long time before he said, "Hmm...... Sort of!"

After speaking, he looked like he wanted to speak again, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "It's a little deserted here compared to the outside, and there are no people, please don't mind." ”

Li Mengru glanced at the young Cheng Li, but she always looked sophisticated, so she shook her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's been lively for a long time, it's good to be quiet for a while, and the scenery here is quite beautiful!"

Jiang Ming looked at the silent courtyard, which was indeed refreshing, but he didn't see the slightest figure, so he couldn't help but say: "Wutong City is the head of the righteous path, why don't you see anyone here?"

Cheng Li smiled, his face was full of pride, and said, "Actually, we have a lot of disciples here, but they are not in this Wuxin Courtyard......

"The geographical location of Wutong City is important, and we are supported by the world, so we must have to do something, so in the east, south and north of the city, there are my uncles sitting in the town, there are a lot of people there, but my master likes to be quiet, so here, only at this time of year, will be a little lively......

"Not true. As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly changed his words: "Actually, my master also likes to be lively." ”

I like quiet, but I also crave excitement......

When Jiang Ming was confused, he suddenly remembered what Shi Niang said, the Lord of Cloud City was trapped by love and was an infatuated lover, so he was dumbfounded in his heart.

Cheng Li shook his head and said, "Let's hurry up and see my master, except for the people from Lingyun Sword Pavilion who haven't come yet, I'll send you two!"

When Jiang Ming heard this, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Miss Yu is also back?"

"Ah, you said my senior sister, she came back yesterday!"

Li Mengru pursed her lips, and somehow a dissatisfaction rose in her heart, and she also lost interest in the beautiful scenery in front of her, so she glared at Jiang Ming and said coldly: "Hurry up!"

Cheng Li walked in front with the two of them, walked along the winding path for a while, turned a few corners, and then walked to a simple pavilion, antique, from the outside it has existed for a long time, the doors and windows have been yellowed, and there are even traces of repair, compared with the scattered houses in the yard, it is not eye-catching, but in many exquisite landscapes, it is considered an old category.

There are rare people along the way, and it is still a remote place in the courtyard, I don't know why there is a stone table not far from the small pavilion, and there are three stone benches around it, which are as clean as new, I don't know if there are often people sitting, or someone cleaning it regularly.

Who would have thought that the first person on the righteous path, the man of God in the eyes of the world, would have such a simple living environment, and it would be the same to say that he lived in seclusion in the barren mountains and forests.

Cheng Li looked at the two who were slightly stunned and said, "I'll go and report it." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the small pavilion and said respectfully, "Master, the people from the Little Taoyuan Villa are here." ”

The silent courtyard did not echo for a long time, and just as Cheng Li was about to knock on the door again, a deep voice came from inside:

"Come in. ”

"Bang", Cheng Li gently pushed open the door, and the light was instantly projected in, the light and shadow were mottled on the ground, and there was still a fine dust floating in the air.

The door opened, but Jiang Ming felt palpitations.

Inside is the first person of the righteous path, a fairy-like existence, and he is just a little demon that everyone hates.

Cheng Li stood at the door, staring at the two people in a daze with a puzzled face, and said, "What's the matter, come in." ”

Li Mengru reacted, glanced at Jiang Ming, who was silent, snorted lightly, and walked towards the door.

The courtyard was deep, such an inconspicuous room, but he didn't dare to step into it, as if he was petrified, he just stood quietly, looking at the back of his senior sister, or the door!

All his convictions and convictions that he has not done anything unreasonable are not demons!

At this moment, he wavered, his belief was like the sharpest ice in the ice and snow, so stubborn and arrogant, but also the most fragile, on this peaceful afternoon, a crack was born and spread......

He tightly grasped the sword in his hand, and a warm feeling swept through his body, it turned out that everything he said was just wishful thinking, just lying to himself and comforting himself.

His shadow stretched long, like his bitter and complicated heart.

How can I be open, how can I have a clear conscience!

"What do you want, let's go!"

"Huh?" Suddenly there was a tug on his arm, and he looked up in fright, only to see the woman glaring at him hatefully, frowning, and looking angry.

Jiang Ming looked at her deeply, like a puppet, neither struggling nor taking the initiative to take a step, just like that, she pulled her and stepped over the threshold of that door.

Entering the room, Jiang Ming took a deep breath, forced his mind, and looked at a desk in the room, full of rolled up calligraphy and paintings, a piano on one side, and a Xiao.

And the city lord Yun Guhong turned his back to the three of them, leaving only a deep back, looking inward stupidly, Li Mengru was very curious, so he looked at it slightly, but from this angle, he couldn't see anything.

Cheng Li said respectfully, "Master." ”

"Uh......"

When Li Mengru heard the voice, she was startled, quickly retracted her head, and followed: "Senior Li Mengru, I have seen the Lord of Cloud City. ”

At this time, Yun Guhong sighed quietly, then slowly turned around and glanced at everyone.

Jiang Ming's head hung slightly, and he didn't dare to come out, his hand was holding the Qianchen Sword tightly, but his heart was beating violently, as if he was about to jump out of his chest.

Cheng Li, who was on the side, frowned, his voice was slightly dissatisfied, and said to Jiang Ming: "Don't hurry up and salute." ”

Jiang Ming bit his lip, he didn't know how much strength he used, he only felt his throat dry for a while, and said astringently: "Late ...... The junior Jiang Ming has seen the Cloud City Lord. ”

Yun Guhong glanced at Cheng Li, then looked at Jiang Ming and Li Mengru, smiled indifferently, and said, "In the future, you don't have to worry about worldly etiquette." ”

"Yes. ”

Jiang Ming slowly raised his head and glanced at Yun Guhong slightly, but there were several longitudinal lines between his eyebrows, his eyes were gloomy, and the tips of his hair were gray, which was no different from most people in the world, but with a little more vicissitudes.

He was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that a person with such an identity did not have the appearance of a cultivator at all, just like an ordinary person, only the gloomy eyes, which seemed to be deep and overflowing with a faint brilliance, made him fall into it for a while.

Silent and silent, Yun Guhong actually noticed something unusual, and his eyes also looked at Jiang Ming, and the two looked at each other quietly, both silent.

After a while, Yun Guhong suddenly smiled slightly, and said gently, "What's your name?"

Jiang Ming woke up instantly, lowered his head in fright, and said sneeringly: "Jiang Ming." ”

Yun Guhong suddenly lost his mind, and after a while, and then in the surprised eyes of everyone, he shook his head with a wry smile, turned around, and laughed in a low voice, but his voice was slightly sad.

Cheng Li frowned and said, "Master......"

I saw Yun Guhong with his back to everyone, waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "Cheng Li, you take them down." ”

Cheng Li's face was full of doubts, the people who came in front of him, the master had to talk about a general matter, why is it a little different from the past today, he looked at the back of the master Xiao Suo, and he didn't have time to study deeply, so he said respectfully: "Yes, master." ”

After speaking, he took the two of them to walk out of the door, Li Mengru's eyes turned, and when he went out, he deliberately deviated a little to one side, and looked at the place where Yun Guhong had looked before, and suddenly frowned, with a puzzled look.

After Cheng Li found out, he glared at her dissatisfiedly, only to see Li Mengru pursed her lips stupidly, snorted disdainfully, and strode towards the door.

Jiang Ming was already wooden, and when he reacted, he was instantly relieved, and hurriedly took steps, as if he wanted to escape from here.

After the three of them walked out, Cheng Li closed the door quite respectfully, but his face was slightly angry.

Li Mengru looked at Cheng Li, who was frowning, smiled, and said softly, "What's wrong with your master?"

"Humph!"

Cheng Li was still angry because Li Mengru had just peeked at the master's secret, so he didn't speak at this time, turned his head angrily, and walked to the backyard.
