Out of Yuehua Building, it was already afternoon. Yun Xuan and Li Yanhuan ate something casually on the street and separated.

Yun Xuan walked towards the west gate while wandering, but it turned out that many stalls on the side of the road had been put away, but they were not as lively as before, but he still felt very interested. Walking to a shop selling calligraphy and paintings, he walked in and admired the calligraphy and paintings, and the guy in the shop didn't care when he saw Yun Xuan dressed ordinary.

Yun Xuan walked over to a hanging picture: a woman in a pink robe was depicted, dancing and dotted with blooming lotus flowers.

"Vivid, the combination of movement and static, the beauty of the painting, the beauty of the people. He admired.

A shopkeeper-like person walked over next to him: "Childe is really a person who knows how to appreciate." I don't know if Childe wants to buy this painting, he only needs one or two silver. ”

The shopkeeper laughed, I have no money, how can I have the money to buy this painting. Yun Xuan smiled a little apologetically, I should have borrowed something from Li Yanhuan today, but I didn't expect this to happen.

The shopkeeper swept Yun Xuan's whole body: "Look at the son's ordinary clothes, he is not a person with spare money." High taste, low status, go away, don't get in the way of others.

Yun Xuan walked out of the painting shop in a huff, lost his interest in playing, and rushed back to the courtyard by the lotus pond.

The sun was already close to the western mountain, and the lotus pond was in sight in the distance, and Yun Xuan came to a fork in the road. At this time, a woodcutter who was picking firewood came from the fork in the road next to him, and when he saw Yun Xuan walking towards the lotus pond, he hurriedly shouted: "Childe is so late, are you going to the lotus pond?"

Yun Xuan looked at the woodcutter who walked in front of him with a anxious face: "Yes, I live in front." What's wrong with this uncle?"

The woodcutter said anxiously: "The son lives in the small building of the lotus house. ”

"No, I just live in a courtyard by the lotus pond. Yun Xuan replied.

"There is only a small courtyard by the lotus pond, and that courtyard is a small lotus viewing building, although the plaque is gone for so many years, I still remember the old man. Don't you want to stay!," said the woodcutter.

"Why?" Yun Xuan asked.

"The lotus pond is surrounded by a small building of the lotus pond, but there have been a few murders! All the people who live there, when they come out, they are all lost and shouting that there are ghosts, there are ghosts, and after one of the scholars came out, he went crazy for a long time before he was cured, and no one dared to live in recent years. Childe, turn back!" The woodcutter's face was full of concern and worry.

"Didn't Anu lie to me, I just turned back to the Li family's compound? No, if I go back, it will become a joke. Yun Xuan thought.

"Uncle Xie reminds! But I'm not afraid. Yun Xuan clenched his fists and continued to walk forward.

The woodcutter looked at Yun Xuan from behind and shook his head worriedly: "The young man is really bold now! ”

This will be delayed, when you get to the lotus pond, the sun has set in the west mountain, there is no one around, the water of the river pond has turned black, the shade of the trees is dark and dull, and occasionally there is a sound of "hook, woo".

Yun Xuan ran to the edge of the pond, took off his coat, looked at the black and quiet water, fluttered, dived, and came up immediately. Thinking of the two sons who died by the pond, he really had no intention of staying.

Listening to the strange sound, I walked to the gate of the courtyard not far from the lotus pond, looked at the top of the door, and sure enough, there was a trace of a plaque, which was the small building of the lotus viewing that the woodcutter said.

He became more and more uneasy, and the scenes of the horror stories told by the old people in the village came to his mind. took out the yellow rune paper that Anu gave him, looked at it, and when he felt a little calmer, he put it in his arms and pushed open the courtyard door.

The courtyard was quiet, the sound of falling leaves was clearly audible, and there was a wooden lunch box next to the door, this Anu threw the lunch box at the door and ran away, and the two bedrooms were closed, like two monsters that had not yet opened their big mouths, sleeping in the dim afterglow.

Yun Xuan slowly walked into the courtyard, swept around, and kept shouting in his heart: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it should be a ghost who is afraid of me, my boy has enough urine and yang energy. ”

Walking to the edge of the lotus pool, Yun Xuan saw that all the lotus leaves in the pool had turned yellow-green, and a pink lotus flower was standing on the water.

This lotus flower and lotus leaf were still scorched and yellow in the morning, why did they become so angry for a long time, Yun Xuan felt strange in his heart. Walking to the side of the lotus flower, Yun Xuan looked at the bright petals, and lightly touched them with his hand, and the petals gathered up as if they were shy, turned into a flower bud, and hung down.

Strange, strange, Yun Xuan retreated, he had never seen such a strange thing, he hurriedly walked into the room, took out two red candles in the umbrella backpack, and lit one.

He lay on the bed, iron rod in hand, and looked at the closed door. A light breeze blew in through the closed doors, window gaps, and a few small holes in the windows and doors, and the candle flame shook gently, occasionally making a crackling sound, and there was a strange sound of "hook, hook, whine" from time to time outside, but other than that, there was not a trace of abnormality.

Yun Xuan looked at the closed door, lay motionless on the bed, and unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Silence all around.

......

Yun Xuan was startled suddenly, opened his eyes, looked at the door of the room, and then looked at the window door, it was still closed well, the candle had already burned most of it, and nothing happened.

Yun Xuan's spirit was a little better at this time, it shouldn't be anything going to happen, he thought.

Thinking of the Qinglong Yin, he took out the book "Once in a Thousand Years" from his umbrella backpack, spread it out on the table, and continued to write the Qinglong Yin in the book on the paper, which is convenient for future study.

Ice green as jade piece after piece of dragon phosphorus appeared in Yun Xuan's mind one after another, and every two words in the middle of the green dragon guide were introduced, and a piece of scales on the chest, abdomen, tail, and claws appeared in Yun Xuan's mind, and then disappeared. This part didn't take much effort, and whenever something appeared in his mind, he wrote down the words he had just read, and the words on the white paper plus what he had written before had sixty-six.

Yun Xuan continued to flip through.

"Cloud mist", "probe claw", "seven claws", "gather momentum", "step on the sky", as the blue light of ten words entered Yun Xuan's eyes, a grand five-toed dragon claw seemed to break through the chaos, appearing in Yun Xuan's mind, the bottom of the claw was covered with quaint brown scales, the scale armor on the claw limbs like green jade fixed the gangfeng, the dragon toe hooked the void that had been torn, around the black hollow, the crack spread to the surroundings, and the coercion fell from the sky to force Yun Xuan.

Then the second appeared, the third appeared, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, seven dragon claws approached Yun Xuan one after another, one was more powerful than the other, the void in front of him all collapsed, and the last boundless dragon claw stepped down towards Yun Xuan, just when Yun Xuan felt that he was going to be annihilated, the dragon claw stepped over Yun Xuan's body, and then all seven dragon claws disappeared in Yun Xuan's mind together.

Yun Xuan returned to reality, he found that cold sweat broke out on his body, and the muscles of his whole body were trembling, and the scene in his mind just now made his heart palpitate.

Seeing that the candle was almost finished, he lit the candle again and recorded the "clouds and mist probe claws, seven claws gather momentum, and step on the sky".

Continuing to turn the page, the void in Yun Xuan's mind poked out a giant tail of Qinglin that swept down towards the vast mountain range, and countless peaks were swept and broken......

Yun Xuan was concentrating on reading and writing the Qinglong Yin at this time, but he didn't notice that there was a mutation taking place outside the room.

The half-round bright moon hung high in the sky, the moonlight outside the courtyard was shining, the stars were shining, and the scenery in the night was looming, but the strange thing was that the strange "hook, whine" sound before was no longer heard, and there was an occasional rustling sound in the dense forest on the other side of the lotus pond, and the grass at the edge of the forest was slowly undulating, as if something was lurking here.

In the moonlight in the courtyard, tiny dots of light drifted out and condensed into pale yellow bands of light, flowing from all sides to the circular lotus pond, hidden in the lotus leaves and the pink lotus that bloomed again.

As time passes, the lotus leaves become more and more verdant, the lotus flowers become delicate, and the lotus pond looks full of life. The soft green light gradually rose from the lotus leaves, the clear pink light gradually spread from the petals to the surroundings, and the flowing light yellow light bands could not hide the appearance of green and pink brilliance, as if the lotus leaves and the lotus flower of the entire lotus pond were about to jump out of it.

Suddenly, the green light shrank back into the lotus leaf, the pink lotus slowly became larger, turning into a lotus platform, the golden stamen emitted golden light, and the tender green lotus pod shot out green light, and the two rays erupted into the air and intertwined with the pink light, giving birth to an illusory shadow.

A strong wind blew in the courtyard, and the surrounding moonlight gathered into a pillar of light from the sky and cast it into the phantom, and the swimming pale yellow light band was projected quickly, and the phantom gradually solidified, and the tender green skirt fluttered in the wind.

The wind stopped, and a woman fell to the ground, only to see her pink top and green skirt, the emerald green belt tied her slender waist, the pink beaded flowers tied to the back of her hair waist, her skin was like snow, her eyes were like cut water autumn pupils, the corners of her eyes were green and charming, her nose was slightly straight, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, conveying a gentle feeling.

She opened her hand and spun around the ground three times like a butterfly, looking at her re-condensed soul, and her heart was extremely happy. After a while, she turned around and looked at the yellow-lit room in front of her, thinking for a moment......
