Chapter 13: Separation, Encounter
When leaving Mengze Villa, there were still soldiers from Rizhao Kingdom shuttling through the alley from time to time, and Lu Youling was already looking sleepy. Ji Dao Fei pulled Lu Youling into a corner and said, "Just now I said that you are my disciple, I just said it casually, you must not take it seriously. ”
"Master, how can you not be a talker? I don't care, you have already said that I am your apprentice, so you can't be untrustworthy. Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship. Lu Youling fell to her knees with a thud.
Ji Dao immediately picked up his collar, and he was afraid that the sound would be too loud, startling the soldiers patrolling the surrounding guards, so he had to lower his voice and say, "You can't be my disciple." ”
"Why?"
"You don't even know who I am, how dare you worship me as a teacher!"
Lu Youling shook her little head, staring at the extreme Dao Fei in front of her stupidly, and the extreme Dao Fei Fei gasped lightly, and said, "I am the bad guy you said in your mouth." ”
"I don't understand, why does Master say that he is a bad person?"
"You stupid boy, why don't you even remember what you said, didn't you say that everyone in the temple is a bad guy? Then I am the head of the bad guys, the deacon of the temple, and there is no shortage of ways!"
Lu Youling stared at the handsome man in front of him blankly, and didn't know how to express the surprise in her heart for a while, she just looked at him in a daze, and turned up the cuffs of her satin robe and pointed it out to Lu Youling.
"Do you see the pattern of auspicious clouds embroidered with golden silk in this? Only the deity and the monarch of Yundu are qualified to wear clothes embroidered with auspicious clouds, and if you don't believe it, your parents will know that what I say is true. So, would you like to worship me as a teacher now?"
Lu Youling lowered her head and was silent, it was difficult to make a decision for a while, the persistence just now was gone, after all, she was warned by her parents since she was a child, and she must not be in the same stream as the people of Jiali Temple. How could he have thought that the person who he wanted to worship as a respected teacher day and night was actually the biggest deacon of the Jiali Temple.
"I wanted to take you as an apprentice, but unfortunately I was injured and had important things to do. According to the teachings, those who cultivate in Yundu must go to the meridian altar of Jiali Temple to sacrifice their 30 years of yang life when they are ten years old before they can practice. Although you and I both have the dream chapter of seeking immortals and knocking on fate, it's a pity that you also heard Dong Taiping's words, if I have the heart to help you cultivate fate, I'm afraid you won't have the life to practice, so it's better to stay here and be an ordinary person. ”
"Division... Master..."
"I said I'm not your master, why are you so stubborn?"
"Master, I don't think you're like a bad person in my parents' mouth. ”
"Oh, how do you tell I'm not a bad person?"
"I can't say it, I don't think you like it. ”
"If you want to survive in troubled times, you should be both good and evil, and I have explained now that you can no longer be my apprentice in the future. I have something to do now, you, let's go. ”
"Where do you want me to go?"
"Go back to Maoliao first, and then you will leave for Guojia Village when it is dawn. ”
"Master, are you really not taking me with you? Didn't you say that you would take me to find my Uncle Guo. ”
Lu Youling had tears in his eyes, and stretched out his little hand to pull the hem of Ji Dao Fei's clothes, Ji Dao Fei suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he knew that what he was about to do must not take him.
"You have to be obedient, maybe your Uncle Guo is already waiting for you to go back in Guojia Village, remember, if someone asks about your background again, don't reveal that you are from Yundu. ”
After finishing speaking, he flew up the city wall, and disappeared into the hazy moonlight in the blink of an eye, leaving Lu Youling to look at the sky stupidly...
When the moon is in the sky, the temperature at night is different from the scorching heat of the day, and it feels cold at night. At this time, large and small tents were erected in Yeyue City, and there was no sound inside, only a circle of soldiers on duty around them were still patrolling diligently.
Standing at the top of the city wall, overlooking the orderly barracks at his feet, he secretly calculated in his heart that these barracks spread from inside the city to outside the city, and Lin Zong listed no less than hundreds of tents, and roughly estimated that there were about four or five thousand people. Judging from the frequency of guard changes and the strictness of military discipline, these four or five thousand people should be the more elite troops of Rizhao Country.
He secretly turned up the curtain and found that although the sergeant inside was asleep, he was still wearing iron armor, and the weapons used were pressed under the headrest.
He cautiously exited the tent, and then looked into several other tents, and found all the soldiers lying in armor. What was even more strange was that he had traveled all over the place, and had not seen any firewood piles left behind in the camp after cooking cigarettes.
"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as I guessed!" Ji Dao Feiqi began to panic in the depths of his heart, but his face was like fine snow, and when he frowned slightly, he had a gloomy atmosphere!
A patrol of soldiers approached, and Ji Dao hurriedly returned, once again hiding in the moon.
He suddenly felt the need to meet an old friend. Just after the fourth watch, maybe it's still too late, but whether he is doing this for himself or the common people of Yundu, he doesn't understand, maybe just occasionally thinking of the child's innocent smile, or the torch-like gaze, he has reason to believe that he must no longer be the bad guy he said.
Lu Youling walked towards Maoliao with a depressed face, the refusal just now was like a slap in the face to him, and his little face turned red. Unable to tell whether it was hatred or anger, he began to babble to himself.
"What's the big deal, don't you just don't want to take me as an apprentice? one moment he said that he was seriously injured, and the other he said that I was short-lived, in short, you have your excuses, but I have my freedom, and now even if you beg me, I won't agree to be your apprentice, hum!"
Lu Youling walked absent-mindedly, and unconsciously went in the wrong direction, he found that he had actually reached the end of the road, and there was already a wall more than two feet high in front of him.
"Hell, I walked into a dead end. ”
Lu Youling scolded viciously in her heart, and was about to get up and walk back, but who knew that there was a faint sound of conversation on the other side of the wall.
Lu Youling's heart tightened, so she tiptoed close to the wall, listened with her ears, and only heard a man's voice on the other side, and the rough voice actually revealed humility.
"Your Highness, please don't embarrass the villain, it's already four watches, and please go back to the city as soon as possible to rest. ”
"Bold, who let you mind my business, now is the brightest time for the moon, and I still have to collect the moonlight and send it to the queen mother." ”
"But Your Highness doesn't know that now Yeyue City has been surrounded by soldiers like an iron bucket, and climbing the bell tower in the middle of the night like you is easy to be mistaken for Yundu by the guards patrolling the sentry. ”
"Joke, who among the soldiers in the city doesn't know me, how dare you touch a single hair of my hair, but you know that I am coming here, and you still go to complain to your father, do you still want to taste the taste of being a rattan soldier?"
"The small ones don't dare, the small ones don't dare, so I'll send an order for a team of patrols to come and protect His Highness. ”
"Do you dare! Why are you looking at this palace with so many people? I am most disgusted by the feeling that there are a group of people everywhere I go, and you won't let me leave! As long as you see a living creature that can move within the line of sight of this palace, all of them will be made into earth vine soldiers!"
"The little ones don't dare... Please be merciful to Your Highness! The villain will retire immediately!"
Outside the stone wall, there were then panicked footsteps and neighing horses, which gradually faded away, until they were no longer heard at all, and Lu Youling could only feel in his heart: Who is this next door? Your Highness? Could it be the prince of Rizhao Kingdom, no wonder the trainer is so fierce. Listening to his voice, it seemed to be about his own age, and his voice was tactful, but it was too sharp, full of unbeatable and domineering.
Youling was instilled with the concept of equality by Lu De on weekdays, and at this time he was inexplicably indignant for the reprimanded guard, why should there be a master and a slave, I want to see what kind of face you have as a master today.
Facing the two-zhang high stone wall, Youling unhurriedly found some stones for tiptoeing, and easily touched the edge of the wall, he clasped his hands tightly, and his feet exerted force at the same time, and he easily climbed over to the other side.
There is a bell tower on this side of the wall, the steps stretch dozens of zhang high, left and right are staggered, and there is a corridor every two or three zhang for people to rest. When looking up from the bottom up, at the end of the stairs is the bell tower, the stone pillars are piled up to form the shape of the door arch, the upper side is carved with jade, as if it is the same height as the sky, and the moon hangs in the corner of the bell tower, which can be touched by reaching out.
Lu Youling looked at it vigilantly and found that there were really no soldiers around him. It seems that this guard is really afraid of this master in his mouth, hey, what is the 'earth vine soldier' in this master's mouth? Why can he make that guard so timid? And if I heard it right, this highness would pick the moonlight in the sky and give it to his mother, if there is really something to do, it is really incredible!
Thinking of this, Lu Youling, who was still sleepy, suddenly became interested, and he saw a thin figure walking on the steps, staggering upward, so he decided to follow.
The bell tower towered under the moon, and the more Lu Youling walked up, the more cold she felt, and her steps gradually accelerated, just to warm her body a little. It was only when he finally climbed the bell tower that he slowed down, for fear of making a sound.
He crawled under the jade fence, quietly listening to the movement, waiting for half a ring but not hearing any movement above, he had the courage to poke out half of his head, but saw a huge bronze bell hanging in the dragon gate, the howling wind struck, the bell floated slightly, making a low humming sound.
"Hey, where have the people gone?"
Lu Youling muttered in her heart, so she straightened up generously and patted the dust on her body, and suddenly, a voice sounded after Zhong Jue.
"I didn't tell you to get out of the way, how dare you come with me!"
Lu Youling panicked suddenly, quickly hooked her body, buried her head deep under the jade fence, and didn't dare to breathe. It's just that I have many doubts in my heart: I didn't make any noise just now, why was he found out!
Lu Youling's four senses were closed and only one sleep, he poked out half of his ears and listened quietly, and after waiting for a long time, there was no response, but his heart suddenly brightened: I just said that there is no such person with sharp ears.
He slowly raised his head, who knew that as soon as half of his head was exposed, a pair of eyes like bright stars under the moon were looking at him, these black eyes were thin but not squinting, big and spirited, thick and slender eyelashes like a pair of jade curtains, but the look in the eyes flashed like a poetic painting, and in a blink of an eye, it showed arrogance and surprise.
"Who are you, why are you hiding here!"
Lu Youling seemed to be attracted by these eyes, and it took a while to come to her senses.
"You... Hello, I... I'm Lu..."
Lu Youling replied hesitantly, and before he could read his name, he suddenly felt that the hair on his cheeks was touched by something, and a bunch of green silk Luo Qi flew in from his cervical vertebrae like hair, and flew out from his armpit again after being wrapped around for a week.
"What are you doing, let me go!"
The young man who cast the spell slowly appeared at this time, only to see that he was dressed in a green pothos shirt, with two thin waists and a light body, his hair in a docile bun at the back of his head, the turquoise kudzu scarf hidden in it, and the beautiful vestibule without a little green silk spilling out. And the bright eyes in the facial features seem to be thorough, but under the eyes and thin nose, a string moon-like lips are secretly gloomy. At this time, he was pulling Luo Qi in Lu Youling's hands with both hands, and the binding became tighter and tighter.
Lu Youling took the opportunity to estimate the figure of the young man in front of him, obviously taller than himself, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim: What a handsome little brother!
The young man spoke: "You are coming from the truth, what do you want to come here late at night?"
"Joke, this Yeyue City is your backyard, you let me go, it hurts me!"
"Could it be that you are from Yundu?"
Seeing that someone asked about Lu Youling's provenance again, this time he had a long memory and shouted: "Who is from Yundu, I am from the nearby Guojia Village." ”
"Hmph, look at your appearance as a little Hanako, you must be from this poor country," the young man leaned in to brush away the messy hair on Lu Youling's face and looked at it carefully for a while, "Tsk, there is still a scar on your face, it's really ugly." ”
"How good-looking do you think you look, it's the first time I've seen a boy as charming and pretentious as you when I'm so old, and it's not a daughter, dressed like this, not afraid of other people's jokes?"
"You say I'm... Man... Hehe, it's kind of funny to meet a fool who doesn't know me!"
