Taishou's encounter with a ghost and his madness did not make too many waves in Yulin County.

Under the deliberate concealment of the Taishou Mansion, the ordinary people in the county only faintly heard some rumors, but they didn't know what was going on. And those who were relatively well-informed about the eunuchs, although they began to hear the news vividly, but gradually, those sources began to be vague, and at last they said that their masters were merely chanting poetry on a moonlit night, blowing evil winds, and infected with a rare kind of wind cold. Although you will start to talk a little when you have this disease, you can be cured as long as you live in seclusion and recuperate for a while.

As a result, the turmoil caused by three occasional passers-by slowly subsided in Yulin County. And the people of Ullim County and Hejun finally got a blessing in disguise. Those bad policies that seemed to have been implemented because of the strange illness of the county keeper were not long before they were replaced by the original virtue of the white county guard, and the relief food supported by the neighboring counties is now being delivered in a steady stream. By the end of summer, at least the people don't have to go hungry.

Of course, these sincere people don't know that all these things in the county that are in order are not from the hands of the Taishou who is still obsessed with it. The person who is now in charge of Bai Taishou's mansion is the strategist Xu Zifang who escaped in the dungeon. This old and serious Marquis of Changyi has sent someone to report the whole story to the Hou Ye, and now he is in the name of the Hou Ye to take care of all the affairs of the county for the crazy county guard in the Taishou Mansion for the time being.

Now that this has happened, Bai Shijun's original plan to collude with grain merchants, store grain at a low price, and then artificially create disasters and extract people's financial resources will naturally come to an end.

Skip these details and leave them alone. At this time, in the capital far away from Yulin County, there is an extraordinary mansion in the bustling streets and alleys. Now in this high-gate mansion, in a secluded hall deep in the quiet courtyard, the owner of the house is living in it. This grim-faced owner of the mansion was a prince and nobleman, and although he lived at home now, he was still dressed in a golden crown and jade belt, and his robe was shining.

At this time, his square face, which was not angry and arrogant, was as heavy as water, and he silently listened to the advice of his advisers: "Qiyu Hou Ye, the little Hou Ye has a strange illness this time, which is obviously strange. According to the student's superficial opinion, it should be Bai Xiaohou who went in the wrong direction and collided with the gods and ghosts, so that he would become what he is now. ”

After listening to the words of the strategist, Chang Yihou was still silent and looked depressed. Seeing him like this, there were other strategists next to him who comforted him: "Master Hou, in my opinion, Bai Shizi's calamity is fate." It is good to respond to the catastrophe this time, and there will be blessings in the future. ”

Hearing this, Chang Yihou, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted angrily: "Ridiculous! I, Chang Yihou, have never believed in the destiny of heaven or in ghosts and gods!"

"You scholars, how can you also believe those charlatans? They are just talking nonsense and alarmist. How can you believe the words of a warlock!"

Chang Yihou said this in one breath, and the henchmen next to him were relieved. Originally, they had been worried in their hearts, and when they saw that the lord had not spoken, they didn't know how to attack. You must know that Bai Shijun, the son of the Marquis of Changyi, who has a different surname, has always been leaned on by the Hou Ye as his left and right arm; Now, hearing that Hou Ye only cared about scolding those warlocks who were stored in the place, these strategists in the capital were immediately relieved.

And Chang Yihou, who was angry, finished these few words angrily, and his anger gradually calmed down. Glancing at the respectful strategists in front of him, the high-ranking and powerful Marquis Changyi sighed and said sincerely: "A few gentlemen, in this huge Changyi Marquis's mansion, only you know me. ”

"How can Ben Hou be like the eldest brother who can only rule by doing nothing? I, Chang Yihou, have always believed only in manpower, not in the fate of gods and ghosts. Those warlocks who have painstakingly been invited, in the eyes of Ben Hou, are just included in the palace for the use of weapons. To truly achieve great things, we must rely on the wisdom of you and me, as well as the power of the soldiers of the three armies to serve their lives!"

Speaking of which, the calm Chang Yihou finally calmed down completely. Holding three locks of beautiful hair under his chin, looking at the green leaves and green branches outside the window of the secluded hall and pondering for a while, Chang Yihou said to himself: "Well, Shijun Wu'er, my father has always known that you love my princess niece. You have become like this today, and it is your responsibility as a Father. If it weren't for the complicated situation in the capital, if you were to be sent out of the place, this incident would not have happened. ”

"Okay, since this matter is more or less because of Ben Hou, then Ben Hou will fulfill Jun Jun'er's wish, and let that girl from the Allure marry you......

He said these words very softly. But when he whispered, he made the staff and strategists in front of him shudder a little. Among them, there are loyal and upright people, who feel that the idea of the lord is very meaningless, and there are many hidden dangers, so they can't help but remind them bluntly: "Master Hou, although this matter is just a personal affair of the children, but the matter involves the princess, it is really trivial, I am afraid this will be ......."

Hearing the words of the strategist, Chang Yihou was not angry, and after glancing at the strategist surnamed Li, he said with a smug: "Li Junshi, please rest assured, it is precisely because she is the emperor's princess that there will be no problems." I want to be the Marquis of Changyi, and I am dedicated to planning for the common people in the world; if the big thing is done, how can I still talk about a princess of the former dynasty!"

"And the Shangqing Palace, a Taoist priest with a vulgar background, actually dares to offend my son and burn his garden;

Speaking of this, Hou Ye, who was originally in a depressed mood, was actually happy, his face was radiant, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, startling a few orioles in the trees outside the window.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise in the courtyard outside the door. Marquis Changyi frowned, and hurriedly went out of the hall to take a look, and saw a few henchmen and retainers, who were not dutifully guarding everywhere, but gathered in the courtyard to whisper.

I don't know what happened, and the Hou Ye, who was in a better mood, paced over. When I drank away from the crowd, I saw that there was a black rat on the bluestone brick on the ground, and the liver and brain were smeared on the ground, and the liver and intestines were broken.

Seeing the dead rats, Chang Yihou asked, only to realize that in broad daylight just now, there were more than a dozen rats in front and back, connected in a string, swaggering in the courtyard. So there were agile retainers, who picked up the stones and threw them vigorously, and immediately let the leader die on the spot, while the rest fled in all directions.

Seeing this, Chang Yihou, who had regained his calmness, changed his face several times, and he was silent. After being stunned for a long time, he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to bury the dead rat under the flower tree in the corner of the courtyard.

Ignoring the schemes of the temples thousands of miles away, the young men and women who had just been talked about were jumping out of the cage and walking aimlessly towards the north.

The road beneath their feet was winding through a vast meadow. Looking around, the green wild grass swayed in the wind, tumbling like waves, like an endless sea. In this boundless sea of grass, there are tall trees in three or five forests, and the canopies are fluffy and lush, like isolated islands scattered in the blue sea.

When the wind blows the grass low, even the clouds in the blue sky seem to be gradually approaching the summer grass and the earth. Occasionally, when I looked up, I saw those large clouds of silver and white clouds, as if they were within reach, as if they would fall from the sky if they floated for a while.

Looking at the boundless green grass, his face blowing the refreshing breeze blowing on the blue field, he said that the stuffiness that had accumulated in his chest for more than ten days was swept away in an instant!

The long road was long, and when he was bored, he noticed that the green grass on the side of the road had occasionally taken on some ochre colors. It seems that the midsummer in front of us is coming to an end, and the clear autumn with high sky and light clouds is about to come.

Seeing the autumn color in the grass, I counted it carefully, and the three of us came down from Luofu Mountain for nearly half a year. It's just that in the past six months, I have done a lot of good things and suffered a lot, but most of them have nothing to do with the purpose of this trip. And in the past few days after leaving Yulin County, nothing has been accomplished. In a few days, apart from robbing a few robbers, stealing a few thieves, and fooling a few crooks, almost nothing else was accomplished.

"Senior Water Spirit, where did you go?"

After a few days of trekking, the Shangqing Hall Master finally began to ponder this top priority again.

After thinking about it, Xingyan suddenly seemed to have something to gain: "Ah! In the past, we only looked for the fertile places of water and plants, but maybe it was not very correct. Think that the spirit of flying clouds and water is the spirit of the five elements, and everywhere it goes, it will definitely undergo unusual changes. Those places that have always been dense with rivers and abundant water vapor may not be the places where water spirits live now. ”

"Well, maybe we should pay more attention in the future to see if there are any unusual changes in the weather before and after......"

Thinking about how to fulfill the master's life, before he knew it, his pace slowed down. When he had a little thought in his heart and was about to tell Xue Yiqiongwei about this idea, he found that the two girls had already walked far ahead.

Seeing this, Xingyan shouted at them, telling them to slow down and wait for him to catch up. As soon as he shouted, he saw the two bright-eyed sisters, who stopped and looked back at him under the blue sky, and among the two pairs of bright eyes, they were like water, and their long silky hair fluttered in the breeze, flying opposite each other against the white clouds.

So, the young hall master, who was accustomed to seeing the appearance of the two daughters, saw their white skirts fluttering and standing next to each other in the blue breeze under the blue sky and white clouds at this moment, but he couldn't help but be moved for a while, and only felt that the scene in front of him was like a picture.

After walking so much, Xingyan also felt a little tired now, so he called the second daughter by the way to rest in the green lawn by the roadside.

Lying on his back in the lawn, with his hands crossed behind his head, his head resting on the grass, and his limbs stretched, he felt very comfortable. When I lay down and looked carefully, I found that the sky above my head today was particularly beautiful. The blue sky is like the first glow after the rain, revealing the color of the blue sky, and the blue sky is connected by white clouds like mountains, covering the summer day behind the clouds. Facing his white clouds, when illuminated by the sunlight behind him, they appear a little dark in the middle, and the more they go around, the whiter they become, and when they reach the edge of the clouds, they seem to be dyed with a layer of silver powder, outlining various white velvet paintings with distinct textures in the blue sky.

"After those white clouds, will there be immortals flying by now?"

Looking at the clouds in the blue sky, Xingyan is a leisurely mind.

"Well, no matter what, now I have a little bit of arithmetic, and I can fly in the sky. ”

Thinking of his sword flying skills, Xingyan couldn't help but think of that hurried night a few days ago, when he took Ju Ying with him, he was able to fly thirty or forty miles with his sword in one go. It seems that if you push yourself too much, those Dao methods that you don't usually improve very well will often be able to exert themselves extraordinarily.

"Haha, if there is no progress in Dao cultivation in the future, I have to ask Qiong Wei's little sister to come out and make her make a fuss!"

I joked in my heart, but somehow I thought of Ju Ying. As soon as I remembered the heartbeat of my ears a few days ago, Xingyan was like falling into the magic of his ghost servant again, and the whole person became intoxicated. Naturally, as usual, the hall master from a poor family began to involuntarily compare the identities and statuses of the two sides.

Only this time, this usual sorrowful gain and loss did not last long. I don't know if it's the clear wind in the blue field, or the picturesque clouds, it didn't take long for Xingyan's heart to suddenly brighten: "Ha~ Thinking like this, it's really a mediocre person who disturbs himself!"

"When I get along with Miss Juying, I always go with the flow and only do what comes naturally. Most of the hardships I have experienced with her only know that she is Ju Ying, but I don't know that she is a princess. ”

"Now that the calamity has been exhausted, for me, the princess really likes me, and it is not like those unruly princesses in the legend, who want someone to cut off my head-well, if I am a good man, why should I be so cowardly? If there is a chance to see you again in the future, in addition to the natural heart, just pay attention to some etiquette!"

Once the knot in my heart was broken, I was glad to scream. It's just that at this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of "babbling" singing in my ears. When I looked at the side face, it turned out to be Qiong Wei curled up beside her, and her little face was babbling and singing to the blue sky.

Her singing voice is tactful and sweet, very good, but she can't hear what she is singing. So after listening to it for a while, Xingyan turned his face away and asked Qiong Wei about the lyrics he sang.

Seeing her brother asking, Xiao Qiongwei blushed, not only did she not tell him the lyrics, but she also stopped and refused to sing again. Seeing her so weird, Xingyan was a little inexplicable. Rao is very thoughtful, and he can't guess this little girl's strange thoughts. It turned out that the little girl was thinking now that her self-composed lyrics were much worse than those sung by Sister Ju Ying, and she was a little embarrassed, so how could she be embarrassed to tell her brother?

Seeing that she refused to speak again, Xingyan had no choice but to look up at the sky again. It's just that after waiting for a while, the innocent and naïve little girl forgot her concerns just now and began to hum again. This time, she said that her brother secretly paid attention to it, and found that most of the simple words such as "clouds", "flowers" and "birds" in this little girl's soft and glutinous singing voice could not hear the complete words.

It's just that in the little girl's vague sweet and soft singing, she fell asleep without waking up......

The day was spent like this. In the evening, the few of them stayed in a town called "Panlong Town". The hall master of the four seas, who looked refreshed, got the association from the name of the town, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't looked for the princess of the Dragon Palace for many days. So after bathing and changing clothes, he invited the four desecrated dragon girls out of the clear water lotus.

Waiting for this Lingyi sister who had not been seen for many days to come out of the jade lotus, Xiao Qiongwei didn't have time to come forward to call someone, and saw this sister from the Dragon Palace, floating down from the lotus, and said to the hall master brother with a little anxiety: "Wake up~ This time I waited so long to find me!"

"I'm about to send you an invitation, and if you can't remember looking for me, I'm going to fly by myself!"

When she said this, the four dragon girls, who were originally speaking brightly, were still a little shy in her anxiety.

"Invitations?"

Looking at the graceful dragon girl in the candlelight of the quiet room, the awakening is exactly why.
