Chapter XXII

The moon and stars are scarce, the night of the Hou Mansion is a little cold and heavy, Mrs. Xi has not smiled for many days, and the guards of the Hou Mansion are still patrolling the front mansion strictly, meticulously, and the tradition of the Hou Mansion has never changed.

There are very few subordinates in the Hou Mansion, and the guards in the mansion are also the personal guards who have followed Hou for many years, and they are old and can't walk, so they stay in the Hou Mansion.

After all, marching is a young man's business, and when you are old, you are really old.

The guards of the Hou Mansion are very kind, the veterans on the battlefield are stained with killing and blood, and they have reined in their evil spirit when they leave the battlefield, as long as no one comes to the Hou Mansion to stir up trouble, it is basically difficult to see why the veterans are angry.

Hou Fu added a new girl, and the old people also liked it very much, the little girl was not good-looking, and she was just right for her son.

In their eyes, the prince is the best, no one can compare to him, not even the prince.

Just now, when the little girls were dancing in the courtyard, they remembered the old days when they were young and frivolous, and the barracks and the Hou Mansion did not have these things, so they secretly ran out in their spare time, and they were not less beaten for this.

Over the years, Childe was so tired, and it was the first time they saw Childe have a rest.

When he first arrived at the Hou Mansion, Childe was still a child who didn't know much about fighting, and more than two years have passed, and there are not many people in the Hou Mansion who can beat Childe.

They have all abused Childe, Childe will not be angry, if he loses, he loses, although Childe looks cold at first glance, it has actually been a long time......

And get used to it.

However, now they can't beat Childe, and even if they go together, they will lose badly.

As the night passed, the guards on patrol had changed their guards several times, and at dawn, Xue Feiyan pushed Luo Qiu out of the Hou Mansion and walked in the direction of Lingyan Pavilion.

Perhaps, this is the last time Xue Feiyan will return to her "mother's house".

Luo Qiu's condition looked good, but Xue Feiyan behind him faintly felt a trace of unusual strangeness, indescribable, but it was so clear.

The first two arrivals were invitations from His Excellency Ling Yan, but this time Luo Qiu took the initiative to visit, which made Du Chengxue a little surprised, because it was too fast, according to the former's character, he would never be so anxious.

Tea is the best tea, people are the most beautiful people, Twilight Chengxue personally brewed tea, slender hand stroke, such as flowing clouds, pleasing to the eye.

Fighting twice, the two know each other a little bit, seeing the moves, Twilight Chengxue's favor is never too much, as long as she is in the imperial city, no one will be closer to the scroll of life than her.

Besides, such a Luo Qiu can't get out of the imperial city, unless, he really doesn't want to live.

How big is the temptation of the Book of Immortals, and only when you get out of the imperial city can you react in the truest way, Mrs. Xi definitely understands, so even if Luo Qiu doesn't have long eyes, the female Wolong of the Hou Mansion will do her best to stop it.

The pressure faced by the Hou Mansion is indescribable, this is what Ling Yan Pavilion is most willing to see, people are strong in the face of pressure, but they are vulnerable in the face of despair, once the Hou Mansion and Luo Qiu can no longer bear this kind of pressure, Ling Yan Pavilion's opportunity will come.

Now, every favor is just a cloth.

There were only three people in the room, Luo Qiu looked at the twilight snow in front of him, and suddenly, without warning, moved.

The unexpected claw grabbed the latter's throat, because it was too sudden, even Twilight Chengxue didn't expect it, only felt a fierce killing intent attacking, and the delicate body moved, subconsciously dodging.

Fast, still fast, with mental calculation or unintentional, Luo Qiu still couldn't catch Du Chengxue, and in the blink of an eye, ten steps away, only his fingers brushed the latter's white neck, leaving a red blood mark.

"What do you mean, Childe!"

Suddenly feeling the qi and blood churning in her body, Du Chengxue's face turned cold, and her body was running, quickly expelling the power that Luo Qiu left in her body.

"I'm curious about what Miss Twilight can do, please forgive me."

When the words fell, Luo Qiu made a palm print on his chest, and the powerful palm power came out through his body, and the corners of Luo Qiu's mouth instantly dyed red.

"If you have offended, you should make amends"

Seeing Luo Qiu's unexpected movements, Twilight Chengxue's eyes narrowed slightly, but she couldn't guess what the purpose of the former was for a while.

"Childe seems to be a little tired, red clothes, send off guests" Twilight Chengxue calmly expressed her dissatisfaction and said lightly.

"Yes, Miss" the red clothes came from outside and saw the two of them off.

Not long after, Hongyi came back, looked at Twilight Chengxue who was deep in thought at the table, and asked puzzledly, "Miss, why did you let him leave quickly?"

She saw what was going on in the room, but she didn't understand why the young lady, who had always been stoic, was so uncalm.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Luo Qiu's whereabouts, and if there is anything abnormal, tell me immediately"

After thinking about it for a long time, the feeling of uneasiness became more and more serious, and Twilight Chengxue weighed it carefully, but she couldn't think of anything wrong, her mind sank slightly, and she opened her mouth to command.

"Yes" Hongyi didn't dare to ask any more, bowed, and then retreated.

On the way back, the sun was shining, but Luo Qiu felt chills all over his body, gray dead air lingered in the center of his eyebrows, his short life was finally coming to an end, even the warm spring could not warm the gradually cold body.

The slap that urged him was called making amends, but he really wanted to get out quickly, and he didn't want Twilight Chengxue to take the opportunity to play.

"Non-smoking, go faster"

Feeling that time was running out, Luo Qiu beat his spirits and ordered the snow behind him to be non-flue.

"Yes"

Xue Feiyan felt the anxiety in Luo Qiu's words, and her steps quickened, pushing the latter towards the Hou Mansion.

Back at the Triumphant Mansion, Luo Qiu sent Xue Feiyan away, and returned to the small courtyard in the backyard alone.

Got up, strong luck, one step, Luo Qiu's figure suddenly disappeared in place, three zhang away, condensed and stationed, it was actually like the previous step after Xue Feiyan retreated.

The Book of Immortality, "Life" is the beginning, Luo Qiu once cultivated the scroll of life, and the induction of the Book of Immortality is by no means comparable to those who have cultivated other books of immortality, so Xue Feiyan has never known that the scroll of practice has been exposed.

The Book of the Immortal, each with its own strengths, in terms of the induction between the Books of the Immortal, the Book of Life is undoubtedly the leader.

Since the first time he saw the Thrilling Dance, Luo Qiu had been aware of the existence of the Xingzhijuan, but unfortunately, Xue Feiyan only had a simple form.

The Dance was created by a person who had cultivated the scroll of practice, and this person must have been a woman, Luo Qiu had suspected it when he first met with Twilight Chengxue, but he was not sure.

In the second meeting, he shows his interest in the dance and his disappointment with Xue Feiyan, in order to bring out the real founder behind the scenes.

As a result, he didn't guess, Twilight Chengxue was the one who created the Thrilling Dance, and when the real Thrilling Dance started, he forcibly urged the abandoned Scroll of Life, wanting to sense the method of Twilight Chengxue's body movement, however, the result was unsatisfactory, he only roughly perceived the veins of the veins, but he couldn't perceive the method of the pulses.

The night he returned to the Hou Mansion, he was trying, and the price was terrible, every time he made a mistake, his injuries would be further aggravated, and the already small time would be cut by half at once.

Luo Qiu knew that today would be the last confrontation between him and Twilight Chengxue, and he had to make a move.

When people are in danger, they believe in themselves the most, so they will inevitably hide, and they will subconsciously use the scroll of travel, that is, at this moment, he put his power into the body of Dusk Chengxue, and with the help of the induction between the bodies, he realized the method of the scroll of the line.

However, it is only one step.

The scroll of practice can be called the book of immortality, and the subtlety of it can be derived from the current Luo Qiu.

One step is the limit.

However, this step alone is the dawn of another extreme.

Twilight Chengxue didn't know the meaning of the Book of Immortality and the beginning of life, let alone Luo Qiu's legs were already intact, and the moment the two met, mutual calculations had begun.

This time, Twilight loses.

Of course, Luo Qiu is not considered to win, after all, people who are about to die, how can they win or lose.

Xingzhijuan was useless to him, he was just doing the last thing for the Hou Mansion.

In the lonely courtyard, Luo Qiu condensed his body and burned his last memories in the jade slips, including his thoughts and perceptions of the scroll.

"Suzaku, go and ask Madame, I have something to explain" Luo Qiu opened his mouth and said softly.

"Yes" Suzaku appeared, and although he hesitated slightly, he nodded in agreement.

Putting down the jade slip and the Hou Mansion to give him the Broken Bow, Luo Qiu left, and when he passed by the Hundred Gardens, he glanced at the sleeping figure in the garden, and his eyes flashed with nostalgia. Although he was reluctant, he finally walked away, the last thing has been done, and his existence is worthless.

When he is there, the Hou Mansion bears the pressure of the entire Northern Territory, and even the other three regions of the Eastern Regions Shenzhou will send people to come, and the royal family of the Chu Dynasty has not yet expressed its position, which is also not good news for the Hou Mansion.

In the depths of the backyard, a quaint array platform was lying there quietly, the stone platform had been damaged, and the mottled cracks showed the traces of time, Luo Qiu walked in, and finally glanced at the Triumphant Marquis Mansion with nostalgia, and then left silently.

In the cyan light, Luo Qiu in the formation slowly disappeared, and almost at the same time, Mrs. Xi came quickly, looking at the departing figure, but she couldn't stop it anymore.

"Take Care"

The two words simply echoed in the backyard, and the eyes when parting were nostalgia and guilt, and perhaps a trace of guilt.

Until the end, he still couldn't heal Yinyin.

Tears rolled in Mrs. Xi's eyes, holding the jade slip left by Luo Qiu in her hand, and her heart throbbed.

......

Half a day later, the northern soil was changing, countless eyes looked at the south of the Chu Dynasty, and one after another sounds came from the major three ancient secret realms, and the entire northern soil stirred by the terrifying torrent shook.

A day later, Zifeng Slope and Luo Qiu came out with blood, coughing up blood step by step, and behind him, several figures followed closely behind, difficult to get rid of.

"Leave the scroll of life, forgive your life"

The old man's voice shook between the heavens and the earth, and the dark clouds were thick, although he did not make a move, but the whole sky was pitch black, and the aura that was extremely strong was definitely not what the world should have.

The living fossils from the Three Ancient Secret Realms exist in endless space to manifest themselves and descend to the world, and in the last hours of their lives, they must force the scroll of life at all costs and strive for the opportunity to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly......
