Chapter 39: Rain and Clouds

Shenbao Villa.

On this day, in the huge courtyard, the scenery is also just right, a burst of autumn rain and a cool, a large piece of maple forest is like a fire, whenever the maple leaves slip from the branches, it will be like snowflakes as free to drift, prosperous dance!

And at this moment, there is a quiet atmosphere spreading, which is pleasing to the eye.

It is the season of appreciation, but there is also a faint sadness and parting, or a kind of lovesick feelings are quietly diffused.

On the pavilion, what makes a person stare into the distance so intently, what makes a person fall into contemplation for a long time, and he doesn't even notice that someone is coming behind him.

"Senior Brother Chu, it turns out that you are here!" a voice from behind broke the silence.

Chu Zhichuan heard someone calling him behind him, so he turned around and looked, only to see that the person who came was a man with handsome features, a pair of starry eyes under his sword eyebrows, flashing with a smile, and looking at him with a smile.

As soon as Chu Zhichuan saw that the person was Gu Nanyun of the Yunhua Sword Sect, he immediately opened his mouth and said happily: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Gu!

At this time, Gu Nanyun walked to Chu Zhichuan's side, and a hand was naturally placed on his shoulder, and Chu Zhichuan, who didn't know why, was patted a few times by him like this, and then his hand was taken back, this move was skillful and calm, like a pair of brothers who were as close and friendly as a pair of brothers.

"Ah......h

Gu Nanyun exhaled a long breath, stretched his waist, and said with a lazy smile: "It's nothing, it's just a little boring, I'm looking for you to chat!"

In the past few days, they have been staying in Shenbao Villa, Gu Nanyun and Chu Zhichuan are the most like-minded, so the friendship between the two is deepening day by day, and it can be said that they have reached a good friend who has nothing to talk about.

At this time, Gu Nanyun saw that Chu Zhichuan didn't speak again, and he continued with a comfortable expression: "Senior Brother Chu, the scenery here is good, it seems that you are quite good at picking places." ”

Chu Zhichuan turned his head and smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Gu said that he laughed, I, I just want to find a quiet place to stay around!"

At this moment, his thoughts seemed to be pulled back, and he re-examined everything around him, and nodded in agreement with Gu Nanyun's words: "Listening to Senior Brother Gu say this, it's quite beautiful here!" With that, he pointed his finger at the maple leaf forest, as if he had only realized it later.

Gu Nanyun looked a little disappointed on his face, he sighed faintly and shook his head, "Hmm...... I don't want to appreciate such a wonderful view in front of me!"

"Why?" Chu Zhichuan asked a little unsure.

He looked at Gu Nanyun with interest, waiting for his answer.

Gu Nanyun thought about it, pondered for a while, and said: "I see Senior Brother Chu, you are alone here in a daze, I think there is something on your mind, you and I can be regarded as the same family, not to mention that we are still good friends, of course we have to care about you first!"

He continued, "Tell me, what is it that makes your face sad today?"

Chu Zhichuan looked a little helpless, he sighed lightly and sighed: "Actually, there is nothing, it's just that I occasionally think of some old people!"

Gu Nanyun stared at Chu Zhichuan suspiciously, Chu Zhichuan was looked at by him like this, and laughed a few times uncomfortably.

"Old man?"

Gu Nanyun has always had sharp eyes, maybe he had already guessed something, he teased a little playfully: "I think you are thinking about that girl!"

After Chu Zhichuan heard this, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Senior Brother Gu, where do you start with this, there is no such thing!"

"Hahaha......"

Gu Nanyun seemed to have seen through Chu Zhichuan's secret, laughed a few times and said slowly: "I'll just say this, looking at Senior Brother Chu's anxious appearance, you will make me more sure that you have a secret!"

At this moment, he put his hands on the fence of the pavilion, and saw him looking up into the distance, quite leisurely.

Chu Zhichuan wanted to defend again, but Gu Nanyun's words took the lead. He said to Chu Zhichuan: "Senior Brother Chu, don't worry, I will keep it secret for you, remember that when you were in Yaoqi Town, when you saw the situation of the Bauhinia Lu Liu girl, I already knew that you liked Miss Liu!"

After all, Chu Zhichuan grew up at the beginning of his youth, and he had never been in contact with the love between men and women, but now that Gu Nanyun said the central matter, he couldn't help blushing like a glow, this soft state was like a woman who often lived in the deep boudoir.

He had to cough a few times, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only smile at Gu Nanyun.

Gu Nanyun reached out again and patted Chu Zhichuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Dele, I don't think you are embarrassed to say, after the Tianwei Cult is destroyed, I will go to Bauhinia Lu for my brother and tell you about this matter!"

"Hey......"

Chu Zhichuan sighed lightly, his face was full of sadness, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he looked worried!

Then, he slowly spoke: "I don't know what Miss Liu thinks, Senior Brother Gu, do you think Miss Liu will like me?"

Looking at Chu Zhichuan like a big child, he looked at Gu Nanyun with a serious face, looking forward to Gu Nanyun's answer with a face full of anticipation.

Gu Nanyun smiled a little bitterly at this time, the essence in his eyes flashed, and Lang Lang said: "Since you like some things, you can fight for them, only if you do them, you will have the answer, I believe that Miss Liu, she will like you!"

"Really?" Chu Zhichuan wondered.

"Believe me, it's definitely true!" Gu Nanyun replied with a firm face.

In this way, the two of you look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere freezes for a while, and then, both men laugh in unison......

Under Gu Nanyun's encouragement, Chu Zhichuan originally had many "what ifs", and many "ifs" gradually disappeared from his heart, and then he was replaced by his vision and yearning for a better future.

Somewhere in the courtyard of Shenbao Villa.

A burly man was practicing exercises in the courtyard, only to see that his body was shrouded in white light mist, several knife splitting moves were dancing, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, looking at the big man's face, who is He Dahong, a disciple of the Ding Dao Sect?

Just as he was about to practice, he put away the Sparrow Knife in his hand and wanted to stop and rest, but at this moment, a few light footsteps came from ahead.

He Dahong looked sideways, the person who came was a young woman, he recognized the woman, he had been chasing her here from the theft incident in Leizhou, but he didn't know each other. That woman is not anyone, it is Jin Fuyu, a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect!

As soon as the two met, they looked embarrassed at first, and then they didn't look at each other with a good face, and the two looked at each other for a while, and neither of them spoke.

"That...... Girl Jin, it's early!"

He Dahong finally broke this embarrassing situation, he scratched his head with his hand and whispered a greeting!

"Humph!"

Jin Fuyu clasped her hands around her chest, walked in front of him, looking at He Dahong's somewhat unnatural but somewhat nervous demeanor, and the burly man opposite her was dumbfounded, her originally depressed mood dissipated, and her heart became much happier.

She blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, and said coldly: "Why, He Daxia is so polite today, didn't he always call me a thief before!"

When He Dahong heard Jin Fuyu say this, he didn't know where to put his hands, in short, he only felt that his whole body was in a tense state, and when he saw the woman in front of him, there was always an inexplicable fear.

Seeing his nervous expression, he hurriedly explained: "I thought I was ...... Forehead...... This is all a misunderstanding, please Miss Jin, you have a lot of adults, don't care!"

Jin Fuyu looked at him with a simple and innocent expression, dark skin, thick lips cracked to reveal white teeth, she couldn't help but "poof" for a while, and was amused by He Dahong's honest stupidity......

He Dahong's eyes widened, looking at Jin Fuyu's smiling face like a flower, I don't know why, he also laughed with "hehe", he stammered: "That...... Gold...... Has Miss Kim forgiven me?"

Jin Fuyu suppressed her laughter, walked in front of him, then turned to look at him, and said, "I think you are quite honest, I think you are a first-time offender without knowing it, so this girl will not care about you!"

When Jin Fuyu said that he didn't care about him, He Dahong's heart was like unloading a big stone, and his mood instantly relaxed, and he couldn't imagine that the faint words of the woman in front of him actually made him feel ecstatic, presumably suppressed for too long.

With a grateful tone, he said to Jin Fuyu: "Thank you Miss Jin for your understanding, you won't be confused in the future!"

"It's good to know!" Jin Fuyu replied a little arrogantly. At this time, a trace of gentle charm flashed on her face, which He Dahong did not notice.

She continued, "Oh, by the way, I'm going back to the Celestial Star Sect early tomorrow morning!"

As soon as these words came out, Jin Fuyu was also startled, she has always been proud of herself, she is alone, and she has no intention of telling others about her schedule, she will actually make it clear to the man in front of her, thinking about this, she didn't think much about it, so she just thought about it.

He Dahong heard that Jin Fuyu said that he was going to leave early tomorrow morning, and his heart was suddenly a little lost, he looked at Jin Fuyu with a serious face, and said: "......Oh! Will we meet again in the future?"

Jin Fuyu looked at the withered fallen leaves in the courtyard, thought about it, took a deep breath, and replied lightly: "Maybe, if you have a fate, we will meet!"

He Dahong's eyes were a little dim, he smiled and then clasped his fists and said, "Well, that golden girl take care all the way!"

"Okay, this girl will leave first, you can continue to practice!" After finishing speaking, Jin Fuyu walked straight to the courtyard in front.

He Dahong stared blankly at the back that was about to disappear in front of him, and he said loudly without thinking about it: "Miss Jin, are we friends?"

Jin Fuyu heard He Dahong's voice from behind, she stopped, turned her head and smiled, only to hear her reply with two words, "Of course!"

Divine Treasure Hall.

On this day, Xie Yuan, the head of Shenbao Villa, sat on the main seat, and on both sides of the main hall were Duanmuqi, Ye Lanjing, Lin Xu and Yue Ningyi, as well as other Shenbao Villa-related figures.

At this time, Duanmuqi put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a slightly apologetic smile: "There is the hospitality of the owner of the village these days, and I can get up when I find out the whereabouts of the Tianwei Cult!"

After Xie Yuan heard this, he smiled "hehe", and he replied with a soft expression: "Hey...... Duanmu Woman is polite, let alone staying for a few days, even if you live here for a year and a half, I am very happy in Shenbao Villa!"

Xie Yuan continued: "I just don't know how many masters can live in my village, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please include it!"

Duanmuqi said: "Master Xie Zhuang said that it is our honor to be able to stay in this Guibao Village......

Between the conversation between Duanmuqi and Xie Yuan, Ye Lanjing has been listening carefully to the conversation between the two with a blank face, although her expression is cold at the moment, but her body exudes a woman's dignified demeanor, her eyes reveal calmness and coldness, which is refreshing, because she rarely speaks, but several characters in the temple of Shenbao Villa cast curious glances!

Looking at Lin Xu sitting on the side, when Duanmuqi and Xie Yuan were talking, his eyes would always glance at Ye Lanjing from time to time.

It's a pity that there is only Ye Lanjing in his eyes, but he didn't notice that there was a person who was also secretly peeking at him, and that person was not anyone, but Yue Ningyi, who was sitting opposite him.

After a cup of tea, Xie Yuan in the main hall said to Duanmuqi and the others: "Everyone, the old man found out an important piece of news a day ago, I don't know if it is a good thing or a misfortune for me Yunzhou!"

At this moment, Lin Xu in the main hall bowed his hand to Xie Yuan and said, "Please also ask Master Xie Zhuang to tell me bluntly!"

"Hmm!"

Xie Yuan coughed, and he said with a straight face: "I sent someone to find out the whereabouts of the Tianyu Cult before, but these demons are too hidden to find traces, but I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that in the deep mountains in the northwest of Yunzhou, an ancient spirit beast has appeared, named Badger, I don't know if it's true or not!"

After hearing this, everyone present was thoughtful and whispered to each other.

Subsequently, Lin Xu said at first: "Since ancient times, there have been strange spiritual creatures born and grown in heaven and earth, these are often mentioned by the master, I don't know what is strange about this ancient spirit beast and pigs that the owner said?"

At this time, Duanmuqi took over Lin Xu's topic, and she said: "Master Lin's nephew doesn't know, this hedgehog has been recorded in an ancient book of "Book of Strange Beasts", this spirit beast is born and grown, Hongmeng God Species, the body is as big as covering the sky, compared to the Zhenta God of my faction, it is several times larger, the power can destroy the mountains and the sea, it has a high wisdom, understands people's words and knows human nature, but its temperament is the most spiritual and evil!"

Duanmuqi then said: "In ancient legends, heaven and earth were originally a chaotic vitality, and this natural vitality is called Hongmeng, and this piggy is transformed by this vitality!"

At this time, an elder sitting next to Xie Yuan said: "Although it has been recorded in the ancient books, no one in the world has ever seen the true face of this spirit beast, for this reason, some people think that it is made up in the book, whether it is true or false, and there is no way to find out!"

Duanmuqi did not directly answer the elder's words, but said: "There are also rumors that the pig has a master, this person is an ancient god in the Hongmeng period, when the pig is disobedient, the ancient god will take out an artifact, called the Qibao Bell, so that the pig obediently." Now thousands of years have passed, the ancient gods are nowhere to be found, the Qibao Bell is scattered in the world and I don't know where it is, and the pigs have also gained freedom, and their whereabouts are unknown

It is rumored that as long as you get the artifact Qibao Bell, you can control the pig and collect it for your own use, and with the help of the pig's innate powerful divine power, you can do whatever you want. Now, if the wicked get this artifact, I am afraid that it will be ruined!"

Xie Yuan took over at this time, and he added: "Duanmu Woman is right, as soon as this spirit beast comes out, many cultivators will definitely flock to find the artifact Qibao Bell, and want to subdue it for their own use, when the time comes, you will fight for me, and the killing will be everywhere, and there will inevitably be a civil strife in Yunzhou, this is exactly what the old man is worried about!"

At this time, Ye Lanjing in the main hall suddenly spoke, she had been listening and thinking about it from the beginning, but she heard her cold voice and said: "Master Xie said this, I think that the Twilight Cult will definitely participate in it that day, such a spirit beast that can increase its strength, presumably they have already been eyeing it!"

At this moment, Duanmu Qi already had an idea in her heart, she said: "Now we must find this Qibao Bell in advance and find the spirit beast and the pig, so as not to give the cult demons a chance, and then we will unite with other sect forces to eradicate the cult demons together!"

After hearing this, Xie Yuan agreed with satisfaction: "This is very good, since we want to find the Seven Treasure Bell, but the world is so big, according to the old man's opinion, it is better to look for the traces of the spirit beast first, presumably the artifact Seven Treasure Bell will also surface!"

"Uncle Duanmu, Lan Jing is willing to go to the northwest to find the whereabouts of the spirit beast!" Ye Lanjing got up from her seat and said to Duanmu Qi.

When Lin Xu, who was sitting next to her, heard that Ye Lanjing was going to the northwest to look for spirit beasts, he immediately didn't think about it, then got up and said, "Uncle Duanmu, I'll go too, so that I can take care of it!"

Ye Lanjing originally wanted to act alone, so that she could avoid her ears and eyes, which was much more convenient. When she heard Lin Xu say that she also wanted to act together, she gently turned her head and glanced at Lin Xu, this look, without any expression, in Lin Xu's heart, she will always be so cold and arrogant!

Duanmu Qi saw that these two disciples of Haoqing Palace who had volunteered were originally planning to arrange for them to go, but needless to say, he agreed immediately.

"And my ......"

At this time, Yue Ningyi was overjoyed and also expressed her intention to Duanmuqi, but Duanmuqi gave her a basin of cold water and did not agree to let her go along.

I only heard Duanmuqi with a slightly concerned tone, she said: "This is to find the spirit beast, it is quite dangerous along the way, you are still young and inexperienced, I am ready to arrange Nanyun to accompany you again, it is enough for the three of you to go, you better stay in the village and wait for the news!"

Yue Ningyi originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a chance to get along with Lin Xu, but when she watched Ye Lanjing and Lin Xu walking together, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

In this way, she couldn't say anything, so she could only obey Uncle Duanmu's arrangement with a grievance.

Northwest of Yunzhou.

Surrounded by undulating mountains, the wind blows through a forest of coniferous pines that can barely be seen, and the sound of the wind never stops all year round, and there are large trees that rise to the sky, covering the sky and the sun, most of which are composed of coniferous pines, forming a vast sea of forests.

It is inaccessible, extremely deep, full of smoke, and there are often deep valleys and cliffs hidden in this forest, and if you walk in them, you will fall into this deep valley and cliff if you are not careful.

However, poisonous insects and beasts also haunt from time to time, most of them are rare and exotic beasts that have not been seen in the world, with strange shapes and can fly to the sky, which is really strange!

For thousands of years, no one has ever set foot here, this is like another world isolated from the world, waiting for human beings to explore and discover, of course, this is also the most mysterious secret place in Yunzhou, is the "Desolate Forest"!

On the ground of the forest, there are still glowing blue flowers blooming among the grasses, and when you look at the thick trunks of the trees, you can see long, intricate unknown vines coiling and growing, and the flowers on them are purple and shining, licking a unique color to this dark and deep forest.

At this moment, an animal flew down from the trunk of the tree, and its body was extremely sensitive, it was a small beast, just look at its body the size of a fox, and its whole body was almost white, with a little red as an embellishment. A pair of wings resembling goose feathers grew from its forelimbs, and its head resembled that of a rabbit, except that its head was covered with black hair, and its two large round eyes radiated a golden glow.

The little beast looked like it was foraging, crawling on the ground in search of fallen wild fruits......

Suddenly, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the breaking sound of the tree trunk resounded throughout the forest, and for a time all the birds and beasts in the dense forest jumped out, and fled in all directions with strange screams and roars.

Then a huge mottled black shadow swept over the treetops, and there was a loud sound of flapping wings in the sky above the forest, and the trees fell everywhere they passed, and only four long thick feet under the black shadow fluttered in the sky, it was a huge beast with wings.

Because the speed is too fast, I didn't see its true face, I could only hear a roar like a dragon and a tiger roaring in the sky not far away, and the sound shook the four fields, this kind of roar seemed to be the king of the world, unstoppable!
