Following.

Yunzhou, south of Gangneung City. A large house is closing the door, and a plaque in front of the main gate is slightly old, with two gilded characters of "Huangfu" written on it. It's just that this room didn't see a trace of momentum as it should be, and several green lanterns inserted in the doorpost swayed slightly. A few people who occasionally passed by in front of the door walked aimlessly and didn't care about the house, and there was an indescribable sense of depression.

Walking through the screen door and into the outer courtyard, several subordinates who were sprinkling water and cleaning bent down and retreated to the side to salute the black-clothed people who came over. The man in black didn't even blink his eyes, and still walked forward slowly. Looking closely, this man in black turned out to be the person Cheng Linyuan met in the tree-lined mountains three days ago, although he was forced to flee due to an unexpected accident, but he didn't seem to be far away from Yunzhou, but lived in this mansion.

The man in black's face was slightly pale, and he touched his heart with his hand from time to time, looking like he was injured. At this moment, he was steadily walking towards the gate of the inner courtyard, as if someone was waiting for him.

Walking along the cloister, then turning and passing through the gate of the inner courtyard, his vision suddenly opened up. What unfolded in front of me was a scene far different from the dilapidated scene outside the gate.

A wide avenue stretched straight to the front of the main house, and every other foot on both sides of the road, a man in bright yellow clothes stood still. Including the unusual guards who surrounded the mansion and stood in front of the door, there were twenty-nine people in total.

With this scene alone, it is not difficult to see that this place is like a stronghold of a certain force, and everything outside the door is just to hide people's eyes.

The man in black paused slightly, then raised his legs and walked forward steadily. Along the way, the guards on both sides bowed their heads and saluted, thinking that the identity of the man in black was not low.

However, he ignored it as before, and had no intention of returning the courtesy, so he just walked forward on his own.

When he walked up to the corridor in front of the main house, the guard outside the door respectfully turned sideways, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said aloud: "The door master is in the house, my lord, please." "Anyway, he kept moving, motionless.

The man in black snorted and said, "What are you pretending?"

The guard lowered his head and looked respectful, but in fact, his eyes kept rolling, and when he heard this, he raised his head and smiled: "Isn't this the door rule here?"

The man in black snorted again and stopped talking, raised his leg and prepared to enter the house. After only two steps, he stopped, turned around and hesitated for a moment, "That... How is the door master feeling today?"

The guard shrugged his shoulders, squeezed his eyes at him, and said, "When you go in, go and ask yourself, I don't know." After that, he coughed, straightened his shirt and walked to the steps, with a straight face.

The man in black glanced at him, took a deep breath and walked into the room with his legs raised.

The guard in front of the door saw him walk away without saying a word, muttered a few words, then turned to look at the courtyard, touched his head and smiled: "The weather is good today, it's a pity not to do something out." ”

――――

There weren't too many furnishings in the big room. In the center, there is a sandalwood table more than half a person high, and the two carved wooden chairs on the left and right are empty. At the next place, a high-legged cloud crane stove is lit with ambergris, and some cigarettes rise from the copper furnace, which makes people feel shocked.

On the wall behind the table, a painting hangs. In the painting, it is the scene of the rising sun over the mountain, and I don't know who made this painting, it looks extremely smooth, and the next stroke seems to be improvised, and a momentum that cannot be said is through the painting.

Look at the west side again, a big case of Huali, the case is side by side with square inkstones, and several wolves in the sea of pens. There is also a painting hanging on the west wall, and the paper is splashed with ink for several feet. At first glance, I don't know what it is, but when I look closely, I find that it looks like a woman standing under a jade tree.

The man in black was silent in the face of the haphazard decoration of the room, and after a moment he walked to the west wall and bowed to the freehand painting.

Although the person in the painting can't see his face clearly, he must not be a nameless person who deserves his respect.

At this moment, a man walked out of the right atrium. Dressed in gray, with thin eyebrows and square face, bright eyes, although there are some fine lines at the corners of the eyes, he is dignified and extraordinary.

The man saw the man in black saluting to the western wall, and he looked at the painting himself. Just one glance, a complicated look appeared on his face, and then disappeared.

The man in black hurriedly turned around and saluted, "My subordinates have seen the door master." ”

The man smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk." So saying, he turned and sat down on the chair on the right side of the nave table. But the man in black didn't dare to sit down, just stood aside.

The man lifted the teapot and took two cups, poured tea into them, and saw that the man in black did not dare to sit down, he smiled and said: "We have known each other for a hundred years, although we have the name of subordination, we are undoubtedly friends, why are you so restrained." Sit down and talk, and I'll look up at you. As he spoke, he pushed a teacup over.

The man in black looked very respectful to the man, but he still didn't dare to sit down when he said this, his face moved, and he stopped talking.

The man smiled bitterly, no longer insisted, took a sip of tea, and said, "You have worked this trip, how about the injuries on your body after two days of recuperation?"

The man frowned and sighed, "Why are you incompetent? I wasn't sure if you were where you were before you went this time, but I just had the attitude of giving it a try." But for now, based on the news you brought back and the situation at Boulevard, it seems that there is a right one. So not only are you not guilty, but you are doing a great job. ”

The man in black was stunned, stunned for a moment, and then muttered, "That... Now that people from all walks of life are converging on the Boulevard Mountain, what are we going to do to get the Blue Immortal Stone back?"

The man raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "That Qingying Stone is irrelevant, don't care." As for whether the forces from all over the world gather, there are many ways. He paused, took a sip of tea and continued, "By the way, I heard that you were injured in the hands of a young man?"

The black-clothed man glanced at Cheng Linyuan's figure, snorted in his heart, but his face was not revealed, and he only said: "Well, yes, that kid's name is Cheng Linyuan." ”

The man frowned and searched for this name in his head, but found that he had never heard of it, and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of sect is this young man from?

The man in black shook his head, carefully recalled what happened that night, and said with some uncertainty: "That kid is just an ordinary farmer, there is nothing out of the ordinary, it should be the Qingying Stone that hurt me." As he spoke, he told the events of the night unabashedly.

The man immediately fell into deep thought, and the man in black didn't dare to disturb and just waited quietly. After a few moments, the man clapped his hands, summoned the guard outside the door, and whispered something. The guard nodded affirmatively, and when he saw the man fall into deep thought again, he quietly bowed down and retreated to the door, and when he passed by the man in black, he raised his head slightly and squeezed his eyes, the man in black glared at him, and before he could make any moves, he suddenly heard the man in front of him say, "Guan Shan." ”

The black-clothed man was shocked and said, "My subordinates are here." ”

The man's eyes narrowed slightly: "News came from the Four Realms this morning, two Liuyun Valley disciples entered Gaoling City with a teenager yesterday, and they only left this morning. According to his verification, the young man's name is Cheng Linyuan. ”

Guan Shan sneered and said, "Are they not willing to be lonely and meddle?"

The man's gaze crossed Guan Shan to the door, and he sighed for a while: "It's not comfortable to stay in this room." Let's go, let's go and see what's so strange about that teenager. Saying that, he got up and walked outside the house, Guan Shan opened his mouth, and still followed out of the house.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw all the guards in the courtyard kneeling on one knee and said loudly: "I have seen the door master!"

The man smiled and waved his hand for everyone to get up. Then he turned to the guard who came in before and said, "I'm not surprised that they are like this, but what are you pretending?"

Seeing that this was similar to what Guan Shan said before, the guards couldn't help but open their mouths wide and be stunned. For the first time, a smile appeared on Guan Shan's pale face, and he pursed his lips and didn't speak, looking like he wished that the guard was making a fool of himself.

Seeing that he was stunned, the man smiled and said, "I'll go out with Guan Shan, and you will stay here and wait for us to come back." ”

The guard blinked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then the master of the door always has to bring a few people around, right?"

Guan Shan restrained his smile at this time, and snorted: "The door master is going to the Four Realms, are you sure you want to follow?"

When the guard heard this, his body shook inexplicably, and when he saw that the door master did not question it, he shrank his head and said, "I'm not going, I'm not going." ”

When the man heard this, he laughed, patted the guard on the shoulder and said, "Then you can stay here, hahaha." ”

――――

The two walked through the screen door of the outer courtyard, and when they saw that the gate was wide open, they walked out.

At the bottom of the steps, the man looked back at the two big words on the door plaque, not only talking to himself, but also saying to the person next to him: "It seems that you haven't done anything big for a long time, right?"

Guan Shan looked at the word "Huangfu" intently, and said lightly: "It should be six hundred years, right?"

The sky is blue and unattainable. Occasionally, the wind blows, and it seems to be a cloud.

The man narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, it's been almost six hundred years, and even the position of the master of this sect has been changed three times and passed to me." It's time for a change of place, right?"
