——

The fourteenth peak of the Shenmu Sect, in the mansion of Shangguan Tianyuan, who was ordered by the Book Palace.

A beautiful woman knelt on the futon, and her two slender hands gently picked and slowly twisted on an antique string in front of her, and the sound of the piano that could make the heartstrings flutter rippled, filling the hall and lingering.

Shangguan Tianyuan, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, closed his eyes slightly, and his fingers tapped the back of the chair rhythmically but there was no sound—he seemed to be listening to the music but didn't seem to be listening.

After playing the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", Shangguan Qiushui, who was standing next to Shangguan Tianyuan, finally couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, did you call me here to listen to this qin song?...... But...... But when I listen to this music, I just think it's good, and I don't feel anything. ”

Shangguan Tianyuan waved his hand to let the pianist go down, and took a slow sip of spiritual tea and said with a smile: "Your cultivation has not yet arrived, it is normal that you don't have any understanding when you listen to it for the first time, and you will have some insight after listening to it a few more times." ...... Well, grandpa, I didn't just listen to the music when I called your grandchildren - more than four years ago, do you remember what I told you?"

Shangguan Qiushui glanced at his grandfather Shangguan Yicheng next to him, and said with a shocked face: "What is it?"

"It's about you marrying Dongfang Qingfeng - how Dongfang Qingfeng used to say something else, it should be very good after observing it in the past few years. If their family comes to ask for marriage again, you will marry him. ”

“...... What?" Shangguan Qiushui looked stunned.

Shangguan Yicheng, who was standing on the other side, sighed and said, "Qiushui, your grandfather can't be wrong to look at people, just listen to him." ”

"No, no, I'd rather die than marry Dongfang Qingfeng! He's a scum of scum—he's done that kind of angry thing about abducting people's wives and daughters to humiliate people and gods before—he thought he was doing it secretly, and no one knew. Shangguan Qiushui said in a resolute tone.

"Wait, wait—Qiushui, are you sure Dongfang Qingfeng did that kind of thing of kidnapping people's wives and daughters to humiliate them?...... Oh, that's really strange—" Shangguan Tianyuan's eyes showed a look of contemplation.

"Grandpa, what's so strange about this? He's that kind of scumbag, maybe he was taught a lesson before, so he has restrained a bit in recent years. But secretly he must still be doing that kind of thing. The so-called 'dogs can't change their' is talking about his kind of person. Shangguan Qiushui said indignantly.

Shangguan Yicheng said slowly: "Dongfang Qingfeng should not have done it in the past few years - we pay close attention to his whereabouts, except for his compound, the one he stayed in the longest was the alchemy room of the Dan Department, the second was the Sutra Book Hall, and then the 'On Dao Hall' and his 'Spirit Rune Shop' in that Shenmu City." The rest of the places are very rare, such as the 'Heaven and Earth Building', the medicine shop, the magic circle shop or something, nothing suspicious, only two places are still a little suspicious - among them, the 'Ten Mile Peach Blossom Building' He has been to seven times in the past five years, three times with other young masters, and the other four times he went alone-but it is very strange, those four times he only listened to music in the building, and did not call the Qing people to sleep. In addition, more than four years ago, I went to the riverside courtyard of the Shenmu Forty-Nine Peaks Sutra Book Hall and Yun Yuan to wait for the Great Protector of the Dharma three times. ”

Shangguan Qiushui was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Grandpa, how do you know so clearly?"

"Hehe, hey, I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else - both my father and Uncle Caiyi have practiced a magical power called 'Time Rewinding Technique', as long as you get the monk's ordinary blood, hair, etc., and then find the place where he has stayed in three days, you can use the 'Time Rewind Technique' to retrace all his actions when he stayed in that place. Shangguan Yicheng said with a smile. The 'Uncle Caiyi' in his mouth is a second-grade spirit animal with a multicolored parrot.

"Qiushui, come and take a look!" Shangguan Tianyuan beckoned, turned his hand and took out a lilac ancient bronze mirror with a shape similar to the 'True Form Treasure Book', and said, "See clearly-" Stretched out his hand again, and there were words in his mouth-

Suddenly, there was a burst of spiritual light on the mirror surface of the ancient bronze mirror, and gradually, a clear picture like a real projection appeared on the mirror - in the lobby, a beautiful woman knelt on the futon, and two slender jade hands gently picked and slowly twisted the strings of an antique guqin in front of her—it seemed that the sound of the piano flying out of the mirror could still be heard in the ears......

After playing the song, when the woman in the mirror held the guqin and walked out of the lobby, the picture on the mirror of the ancient mirror gradually dimmed and returned to its original state of fog.

"This ancient mirror is called 'Fengyue Treasure Book', it turned out to be used for real-time peeping in the land of Fengyue, and the 'Time Rewind Technique' is a sharp weapon for tracking. Shangguan Tianyuan explained, and said: "The matter of tracking Dongfang Qingfeng was done by 'Caiyi', and there will be no mistakes. ”

"Oh......" Shangguan Qiushui's eyes were as bright as Qiushui, and his eyes were full of surprise. After a moment of silence, she said again: "Even if Dongfang Qingfeng hasn't done that thing that people and gods are angry with recently, he has done it before, and more than once, his character is really worse than shit-I...... I don't want to marry him!"

"The deputy commander of the torture hall asked Qi Bingtong of the Dongfang family to see. A deacon walked into the lobby and said.

Shangguan Tianyuan nodded slightly and responded, "Got it, go ahead." He stood up again and walked back and forth a few steps, and said, "Yi Cheng, you go to receive Qi Bingtong, the mother of Dongfang Qingfeng." ”

Shangguan Yicheng agreed and asked, "Father, Qi Bingtong's intention is estimated to be here to propose marriage, how should I agree to her?"

"...... 'Fallen Demon Island' is about to appear, I guess Qi Bingtong should come-you can promise her that my family Qiushui also intends to marry his family Dongfang Qingfeng, but he can't get married in the near future, and Dongfang Qingfeng will bring back a twelfth-level 'Soul Refining Stone' from the 'Fallen Demon Island' as a dowry and then discuss - you make it clear to her that this matter is top secret, even if you don't want to, you must not leak out the slightest. Shangguan Tianyuan said.

Shangguan Yicheng agreed, turned around and walked out of the lobby.

Shangguan Qiushui shouted, "Grandpa, you ...... Are you really going to marry me to Dongfang Qingfeng?"

"Qiushui, you have to believe in Grandpa Tai's ability to observe people, and Grandpa Tai I personally went out to test him in a game of chess last time - although he lost that game of chess, but the chess moves he showed were dignified and very atmospheric, not greedy, not angry, not in a hurry, this kind of chess is by no means a person of inferior character can play. ”

"But...... But Dongfang Qingfeng is really that person with an inferior character!" Shangguan Qiushui said loudly again.

"That's what makes me weird, grandpa,...... It's really strange!" Shangguan Tianyuan walked back and forth a few steps back and forth, and said, "So grandpa, I only said that I can get married, and I will talk about it after I get married." ”

"Qiushui, if Dongfang Qingfeng really got the twelfth-level 'Soul Refining Stone' that Grandpa Tai and I needed so much from that 'Fallen Demon Island', then are you willing to marry Dongfang Qingfeng for Grandpa?" After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Tianyuan asked again.

“...... I...... I...... I am willing!" Shangguan Qiushui's face changed violently a few times, and he replied softly but firmly.

"Why?"

"Because Grandpa Tai, you are the towering tree of our Shangguan family, if the Shangguan family does not have you, not only will there be no cultivation conditions now, but it may also be a catastrophe, but I don't care much without Qiushui. Shangguan Qiushui said seriously.

"You're right or wrong, although Grandpa Tai is now the big tree of the Shangguan family, but it's already sunset, and I can't protect the Shangguan family for a long time, and in the future, I will have to rely on Hongyuan and you - among these juniors, I am most optimistic about the two of you. ”

"It's not certain that Dongfang Qingfeng will be able to come back from the 'Fallen Demon Island', not to mention that he has little hope of obtaining a twelfth-level soul refining stone—then it's good to agree to Dongfang Qingfeng's family affairs now?

“...... Okay, Grandpa, you are in charge!" Shangguan Qiushui's face was a little pale, and he said, "Grandpa, I also want to go to the 'Fallen Demon Island'!"

Shangguan Tianyuan's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay if you want to go there-although the 'Fallen Demon Island' is quite dangerous, if you can leave alive, there are many benefits, the so-called 'how can there be a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain', if you don't take any risks, you won't be able to go far on the path of cultivation at all." ...... However, you have to promise Grandpa Tai that you can't force that twelfth-level soul refining stone, this kind of priceless treasure can't be forcibly requested, and it's usually very dangerous to do that kind of reluctant thing—can you agree?"

“...... Yes!" Shangguan Qiushui replied.
