Chapter 2: Yellow Springs and Blue Falls
"Senior brother" Hua Xin'er swept away her sorrow and threw herself into the man's arms like a swallow returning to the nest.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the person in his arms, Liu Yun's cold face also showed a rare smile.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you be so hypocritical. Liu Yun said, but hugged it tighter in his arms.
"I'm like this, don't senior brother like it?" Hua Xin'er looked up at Liu Yun, her face was faintly ruddy, her eyes were hazy, and she became more and more pitiful.
"My Xin'er is naturally good. Liu Yun smiled.
He looked around and said, "I heard that you arrived in Ninghai early, why did you only summon me yesterday? This manor is not simple, it looks ordinary, but it actually hides a mystery, and almost made me fall into the Tao." ”
When Hua Xin'er heard this, she was also dignified, and hurriedly closed the window.

"That day, I just arrived in Ninghai on the front foot, and was targeted by the broken guard, I think it should be accidentally leaking the news, so I sneaked here, and then make plans after settling down, I have met with the owner of this village during the day, it is a young man, although the conversation temperament is extraordinary, but I did not sense the fluctuation of the true yuan, it should be no problem. But I've always felt a little strange here, and it doesn't seem like it's a good place to stay long. When Hua Xin'er talked about the leaked news, she stared at Liu Yun twice more intentionally or unintentionally, as if she wanted to see some eyebrows from Liu Yun's expression.
"At present, the situation in the court is turbulent, the prince of Zhenguo is becoming more and more powerful, and the palace is dizzying and tired of coping, how can I send you to this remote town in the East China Sea at this time, do you have any explanation?" Liu Yun said quietly.
Hua Xin'er's hand shook imperceptibly, her heart was uneasy, but her face showed a touch of charm.
"Of course, there is an important task, but I am surprised that my senior brother is far away in the East China Sea, and he is still concerned about many matters in the southern border. ”
Hua Xin'er took out a small jade pot, a celadon neck, shook it evenly, and poured it into the cup on the table.
"You and I haven't seen each other for many years, we should be happy to meet again after a long absence, why do you need to be so serious, this is the fairy brew I brought from the palace, let's have a few drinks first. ”

There is a mellow and faint fragrance permeating, and the wine is pure and clear, and before it is drunk, it makes people drunk for three points. It is said that this immortal brew is from the holy realm of the open sea, and it is the wine made by the legendary immortals, a drop can be drunk with immortals, and it is difficult to find in the world.
Liu Yun looked a little lost, "It's really good, my junior sister has really been favored by the prince over the years, and this kind of immortal wine is also easy to obtain, although everyone enters the palace together, but compared with my junior sister, I am not as good." ”
He raised his glass, as if savoring, as if discerning something.
"The prince is as kind to me as a mountain, if he hadn't ransomed me from Lantai back then, I still don't know where to do lowly things, serving him is a matter of duty, and my senior brother will be divided when he says so. Hua Xin'er saw that Liu Yun raised her glass and didn't drink, her mood was complicated, and when she mentioned those bleak pasts, she was inevitably sad.
"This is natural, it's not good for me, it's sad for you, but the past is over, why don't you mention it again, people always have to look forward, the days can pass, before drinking, I also want to give you a surprise." Liu Yun suddenly put down the wine glass, turned behind Hua Xin'er and said with a smile.
Hua Xin'er was startled, and a faint glow lit up in her instinctive sleeves, which was refracted into the wine glass on the table, reflecting with the candle flame, and she didn't feel a little sad.
Liu Yun didn't see it, still holding Hua Xin'er in his left hand, the five fingers of his right hand were open, and there was a purple jewel the size of a pebble in his palm, which was shining.

"This is the Night Pearl of the East China Sea?" Hua Xin'er said in surprise.
The ruthlessness that was about to move was extinguished in an instant by a piece of tenderness.
She vaguely remembered that year when she first entered the palace with Liu Yun, she looked at how bright and bright the night pearl inlaid on the top of the princess's head was from afar, just casually said a word of envy, after so many years, even she almost forgot herself, but Liu Yun remembered it deeply.
"This is not an ordinary night pearl, but the bottom of the East China Sea, the cold flame fluorite knot, can calm the mind and clear the eyes, the purple chalcedony is buried under the volcanic rock, the practitioner absorbs, circulates the week, and has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, but it took me a lot of effort to get it. ”
"The key is to be able to understand lovesickness. Liu Yun gently stroked Hua Xin'er's hair with his hand and said gently.
Hua Xin'er was stunned, since the last goodbye, the two places have been separated from each other since then.
In recent years, the environment of the palace struggle has become increasingly cruel, and she has fought openly and secretly with her opponents, worrying all day long, lest she make a mistake and never recover. I haven't experienced this feeling of relying on and taking off my guard for a long time, and the two of them stood quietly for a while.
She had a lot of thoughts, and in a trance, she only felt that priceless treasures were easy to find, and lovers were rare. Tears swirled in her eyes, as if she had returned to the scene when she first met Liu Yun, which was her happiest time.
At this moment, what the prince's test, the palace task, the name of the righteous daughter, and the splendid future were all left behind by her, and she was playing with the night pearl of the East China Sea in her hand, and there was still the residual warmth of Liu Yun's palm on the bead, which made her particularly obsessed.
It's like walking on the clouds, the higher you go, the more beautiful the scenery above becomes, tempting you to keep moving forward, and the abyss below is unsettling, and you will fall from a great place and lose everything at any point.
For a moment, it was like experiencing thousands of years of wandering.
Until Liu Yun quietly walked to the table and picked up the cup of fairy brew that looked exceptionally cool in the night.
"It's not too early, I always thought that it was the best thing to meet the right person, and today I saw my sister again, only to understand that it was more rare than meeting to reunite, I have no regrets, so I will do it first for respect, the road ahead is long, and my sister will cherish it from then on. Liu Yun sighed with rare emotion and looked at Hua Xin'er deeply.
"You?...... Don't ......" Hearing Liu Yun say such serious words, Hua Xin'er shuddered, and instinctively wanted to grab the glass of wine, just like a person who fell into the water desperately trying to grasp the last straw.
But Liu Yun has already made a decision, how can she not fulfill her.
He flashed sideways and drank it all.
"Huangquan Road, Biluo Spring. You still can't bear it after all. Good wine!" he smiled bitterly.
Hua Xin'er's face showed a look of pain, how could she not know that Liu Yun had already understood the purpose of her trip at this moment, and of course she knew Liu Yun's thoughts, but she said sadly: "Since you already know, why is this so? Why do you still come to the appointment?"
Liu Yun's whole body exuded a layer of blue true yuan, which was the instinctive resistance of the true yuan to the invasion of external forces, and the monks who stepped into the true yuan realm gasified into yuan in their bodies, circulating endlessly, and the external release was also invulnerable, water and fire were invulnerable.
There is not much threat to the monks of the True Yuan Realm, which is a highly poisonous thing of the ordinary level, but this yellow spring is different from the blue water, which comes from the Nine Shades, and its cold poison makes the monks change their color when they hear it, where is it that the True Yuan Realm can resist.
When the cold poison enters the body, it is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, penetrating the internal organs, and there is no way to return to the sky.
"From the day I entered the rivers and lakes, I knew that sooner or later there would be this day, but how could you not drink the wine you sent?" Liu Yun's face was distorted, and his whole body trembled.
After spitting out a sentence with difficulty, Zhenyuan dissipated and ran out of breath. The whole body was cold, and a thin layer of ice appeared on the table.
Hua Xin'er didn't turn her head, she couldn't bear to look at it directly, she suddenly regretted it, and the two lines of tears slipped down, becoming the only heat in the whole room.
I don't know when the candle flame goes out.
The night pearl she held tightly in her hand was also cold, as if all thoughts were lost at this time, and it was like a heart that had fallen into silence, exuding a faint purple glow in the night.
She also knew that the family rules were strict, and the prince could send too many people to do this, but he chose her, which forced her to make a choice, and it was also a test of her loyalty, so she couldn't refuse.
Perhaps the sorrow of the little people is the last resort of being a pawn.
It's just that Liu Yun's death not only grieved her, but also ignited her deep desire for power.
Maybe only if you have no heart can you live, and only those who stand at the top can control their own destiny.
In the second half of the night, the wind rose stronger, blowing so that people couldn't open their eyes, and suddenly a thunderstorm fell, which made people's hearts panic.
The spring thunder was supposed to sneak into the night with the wind, and the joy of the rain nourishing all things, but at this moment it made people despair.
The peach trees in the courtyard were wet by the rain, but they became more and more red and enchanting, like crying and laughing.

Early in the morning, the sun rises.
Bai Yichen stood on the pavilion and stretched, the air after the rain was much fresher, and he held an ancient book in his hand.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and it is difficult to seek the way, and there is a true meaning in the book.
Over the years, he has read a lot of works in the four regions, whether it is the official history, wild legends, gods and demons, and even this kind of ancient books, it can be said that he is well-read, and his knowledge is far beyond that can be compared, and over time, he also has an elegant temperament.
"Childe, I have verified that the identity of the person who infiltrated last night was Liu Yun, the young master of the Haihe faction, as for the woman, she should be from the Ning Wangfu in the southern realm, and after last night, she was missing. Yuan Bo walked in and said slowly.
"Huangquan is blue and falling into the water, how can it be an ordinary force. Bai Yichen was very calm, as if he had expected it.
He put down the ancient book, made a gesture with his right hand, and a moment later there was a "squeak" sound, and a palm-sized white paper crane flew in the distance, lifelike and agile.
The crane stopped at Bai Yichen's fingertips, flapping its wings rhythmically, as if it was passing something, and it dissipated after a while.
"The spirit crane transmission of the Relief Pavilion is really strange. Yuan Bo praised.
"According to the news of the Relief Pavilion, it seems that this trip to the East China Sea is not so easy. Bai Yichen turned around and said.
"Oh, I've already figured out this coast of the East China Sea, with the Haihe Sect and the Giant Shark Gang being the most, but they are all ordinary cultivators, so I don't need to worry about it. Moreover, Childe had already calculated the specific location of Youlian and laid out the magic circle, so there was no surprise. Yuan Bo wondered.
"The news says that the Blood Drinking Hall has sent at least one elder-level figure over, and after calculating the itinerary, I'm afraid it will have arrived yesterday. And Hua Xin'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Thousands of miles to come here, not just to get rid of a willow cloud. Bai Yichen said lightly, thoughtful.
Yuan Bo frowned: "Although the Blood Drinking Hall is a great sect of evil sects, but it uses blood and qi to raise the knife, and the knife technique is extremely ferocious, but it can take the path of the strongest and strongest, how can it covet such a feminine thing as the East China Sea Youlian." ”
"Yin and yang are combined, but they can be infinitely wonderful, the world is big, and this truth is not only understood by me who is too Xuanmen. But while tricky, it's not intractable. Bai Yichen's expression did not change.
Although things are more complicated than expected, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and he is not a fledgling teenager anymore.
Yuan Bo was also relieved to see this, as the foreign affairs elder of Taixuanmen, he naturally knew the intelligence of his son, and now that he is still young, he has a bit of everyone's bearing, he is calm and thoughtful, and he will become a great weapon in the future.
