Moisture is silent

"It's a demon."

As soon as Rong Ying said the words, she pressed her forehead to the palm of her hand in pain, and pressed against Gu Xun tightly.

Yun Runsheng was surprised, and used his spiritual knowledge to test Gu Xun.

Song Yuxiu's eyes widened, and she muttered: "The world is full of wonders." He had guessed that Rong Ying was a ghost or a demon, but he never thought that he was really a human.

Hey, I wronged him.

Rong Ying raised her head, her gaze fell on one spot, and she choked up and said, "I'm sorry, I exposed you."

After that, he shook his head and bowed his head again, as if communicating with someone invisible to everyone.

The hairs on Song Yuxiu's arms stood on end, and she looked at a certain place warily.

Yun Runsheng frowned, he used his spiritual power to test, and noticed that the ancient xun had moved a little bit, but he couldn't find anything else at all.Not even a ghost.

Yun Runsheng feels a little frustrated, there are still many unknown things in the world, he can't be slack in the slightest, only by improving his cultivation and strengthening himself can he not be controlled by others.

Rong Ying withdrew her gaze and looked at Song Yuxiu: "My lord, Gu Xun said that it is neither a demon nor a ghost, but belongs to the spirit of Qi."

"It has no entity, so outsiders can't easily see it. In fact, it is only a shadow outline in my eyes, but we can talk."

"..."

Song Yuxiu swallowed her saliva, looked at Rong Ying sympathetically, feeling deeply for him.

"It turned out to be a weapon spirit, no wonder." Yun Runsheng breathed out. The master had previously talked about the existence of souls and spiritual cultivation, and said that after he reached a certain level of cultivation, he would naturally see the souls of dead people.Although Qi Ling is not a human soul, it is also a spirit body, so it should be similar.

Rong Ying continued to spread the word: "It is the instrument spirit of the ancient xun, and it only pays attention to the music and... the owner of the instrument. Moreover, its cultivation level is not high, and the sound attacks it uses are mostly for auxiliary existence, such as creating a fog barrier that night , or used to hide oneself, to concentrate and meditate, to disturb the mind, etc... can't kill people."

Rong Ying lowered his head: "That night Gu Xun told me that there were pirates surrounding us, I had no choice but to let him use obstacles to hide us. Later, the young master was in danger, and I wanted to save him, but I was powerless."

"My lord, you believe me, Gu Xun is one with me, and I have been with me since I was a child. I will not have bad intentions towards you, and neither will Gu Xun."

Knowing the situation of the ancient xun, Song Yuxiu was quite at ease about its sense of danger.

"You knew it existed since you were a child?"

Rong Ying nodded: "My father taught me to play the xun when I was three years old, and my mother bought it as a gift for me by chance. Later, whenever I played the xun, I could see a phantom. I know I am afraid. When I was eight years old, my family was in trouble, my parents and family members died, and I was reduced to a brothel. Only it has been following me, even if it is still just a shadow, but as long as I see it by my side, I will feel at ease and kind. So , I have reached the age of receiving customers... I was fortunate to be valued by Young Master Wang, so I left the brothel with him, thinking about staying and flying with him from now on..." Speaking of this, Rong Ying felt ashamed: "After getting on the boat, you also know What happened to me, Young Master Wang despises me. But I can't let go... One night... I was ridiculed by Young Master Wang's new love, and in a moment of stupid impulsiveness, I ran to the side of the boat and wanted to jump off to die."

Rong Ying wiped away her tears, "At that time I wanted to die, but Gu Xun possessed me and forcibly rescued me. That was the first time it possessed me. The fog barrier it set up last night was the second time it possessed me. Today The Taoist priest tested me...he possessed for the third time."

Rong Ying kowtowed and begged: "Gu Xun never harms anyone, he is just a shadow, please young master, please don't, please don't hurt it..."

Yun Runsheng didn't speak, Song Yuxiu wondered: "Since it can possess itself and cast spells, why didn't it rescue you when you were living in a brothel?"

Rong Ying's eyes turned red: "It's not because it didn't want to save it. At that time, it was even weaker than it is now. Seeing me in trouble, it felt powerless. The time it can talk to me every day is also limited. Later, I accidentally bought a hosta , It said that there is a little spiritual energy in it that is useful to it, and slowly, I took it to find some objects with spiritual energy for it to absorb and refine the spiritual body. This is how we have the current situation."

Rong Ying held Gu Xun tightly and made up his mind, if Daoist Yun insisted on eradicating Gu Xun, he couldn't stop him, but he could choose to disappear with it.He didn't want to live a lonely life with no one to rely on for a second.

Song Yuxiu fell silent, staring at Daoist Yun with bright eyes, as if she was saying something wordlessly.

Yun Runsheng turned away gently, got up and walked out, "I'm going to practice retreat, no one should disturb me. When I break through, whoever disturbs me will die."

"Come on, Taoist priest, don't worry, I will guard the door for you." Song Yuxiu saw off the guests with a smile.

Rong Ying was still kneeling in a daze, not knowing what the conclusion of the two of them would be.

Yun Runsheng, who was walking to the door, suddenly stamped his feet, and turned around and threw something at Rong Ying, but Rong Ying turned his back to him and didn't know anything.Seeing that the object was about to hit the back of Rong Ying's head, Rong Ying, who was kneeling, suddenly dodged, not only dodged steadily, but also stretched out a hand neatly, and firmly grasped the object in his palm.

Rong Ying spread out her palm, it was a Lingshi.

Seeing this, Song Yuxiu smiled, look, the Taoist priest is such a good person!

Rong Ying, who was handsome for less than three seconds, knelt down, wept with gratitude, and burst into tears: "Thank you, Daoist! Thank you, Daoist!"

Song Yuxiu covered her eyes.

The corners of Yun Runsheng's mouth twitched: "Cultivate hard, and strive to let everyone know each other as soon as possible. You know better than anyone else that Rongying's identity, temperament and appearance, once no one can rely on, it will be a miserable road to go out. No one is better suited to protect him than you."

Rong Ying burst into tears like rain, the ancient xun in her hand was scorching hot.

"Thank you, Daoist, for fulfilling the mission." Rong Ying knelt down again to thank him.

After watching Yun Runsheng leave, Song Yuxiu looked at the tearful Rong Ying and laughed: "Don't cry, just stay at ease from now on."

"Wow, thank you so much, son! Swear allegiance to you to the death!"

"It's getting late, I'm going to bed. You can go down too."

"Yes, son."

The room was completely quiet, Song Yuxiu lay back on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a while.Rong Ying's life was rough and pitiful, lonely and helpless, when he met someone who was kind to him, he wanted to dig out his heart and lungs, and he would not look back until he hit the south wall.Gu Xun, Young Master Wang, including himself, are the rare people in Rong Ying's life who treat him well.Even though Young Master Wang loves the new and dislikes the old, it was really good before.

Song Yuxiu couldn't help thinking to herself, his birth was even more absurd, he used to only think that his father was the most important thing, but time proved that was an illusion.Now meeting the only Daoist Yun who treats him well...he really doesn't know what to do.

At this time, Mingzhou City Wharf.

Xu San's fleet will arrive at the pier, and the pier is crowded with people, most of them are porters waiting to pick up their jobs, as well as big and small shopkeepers and bosses.Everyone wants to grab first-hand goods and earn a good price.

However, today's fleet is strangely ruthless, half a moment after the big ship landed, the people on board did not move at all.I could only see the serious patrolling guards on the side deck of the ship, and the rest of the people didn't know what they were doing.

"Why doesn't Mr. Xu come down?"

"Why, Mr. Xu doesn't plan to sell goods in Mingzhou this time?"

"It's strange, the other ships didn't move at all."

Everyone was discussing, suddenly, the cabin door of the big ship opened, and the long stairs were unlocked and put down.Headed by Xu Sanshao, followed by the Shen family, the Yu family, and the He family, the masters each pulled their faces with heavy expressions.

The bosses who were waiting were stunned. It was broken. It seemed that they had encountered pirates and lost their property and manpower.

Xu Sanshao got off the boat and left with his servants without saying a word.

The other masters also shook their heads and sighed, and finally went back to their respective homes helplessly. Whoever still wants to talk about business, let's take a break!There are things hidden in my heart, and the pressure is too great.

As soon as the masters left, the big ship was quickly closed again by the sailors. It seemed that this time they were not going to disembark easily, nor let people aboard.

"How is this going?"

"Are you still talking about business?"

"Look carefully, it seems that one of the Wang family's ships is missing..."

"I'm afraid it's not very good..."

"Let's talk less. Maritime business is a matter of life and death. Who doesn't have a bad time in their hearts?"

"It's gone, we'll come back another day."

Xu Sanshao returned to the house he bought in Mingzhou, and as soon as he entered the house, he was so angry that he kicked the flower pot at his feet.

Yun Xiaoliu dealt with the pirates alone, and his life and death were uncertain.He felt guilty and uneasy after taking the boat away, and deliberately slowed down the boat, hoping to wait until Yun Runsheng, who had escaped from danger, could catch up.But the agreed time passed, and Yun Xiaoliu disappeared.He wanted to turn around to help him, but was strongly rejected by the other companies.Considering the brothers on board, he reluctantly moved forward, thinking that when he arrived in Mingzhou, he would go to the government for help as soon as he got off the boat!Let the government send troops to suppress the bandits, and the legendary Sun Baye has returned to the rivers and lakes. The news is shocking enough, and the government will definitely send troops to find out.

However, his proposal was once again rejected by others, and even the old crew members who had been with him for many years begged him to silence him.

Why?

The old people themselves are not afraid of death. When encountering storms and pirates, they die at sea and die.

But everyone has offspring, there are family members and young children, and some have several generations in one house, or one clan.

What are they afraid of?

Fear of misfortune and family members.

"Third Young Master, where is Sun Baye, a white pearl Confucian shirt scholar now? Sun Baye died 20 years ago, by the sword of the emperor. The court announced to the world 20 years ago that Sun Baye is dead!"

"The emperor said he was dead, how could he still be alive? Let alone embarrass the emperor by re-emerging."

"You said that Sun Baye came out of the arena again, isn't that a slap in the face of the court, a slap... Please be careful, Third Young Master!"

"Whether Little Brother Yun can eradicate the pirates or not, the third young master must remember that a pirate is a pirate, not just any pirate can impersonate Sun Baye. Over the years, there has only been one Sun Baye, and there are all kinds of new pirates."

"Not only can the third young master not report to the officials, but the brothers on the ship should also inform them of the seriousness of the matter and the dangerous relationship, and warn them to keep their mouths shut."

"That's right! No one can say anything about this!"

"We can meet pirates, but not Sun Baye."

Xu Sanshao was trembling with anger. He admitted that what everyone said was correct. Once the trouble broke out, the current fatuous emperor and the court might really be furious.Even if the court doesn't care about it, the local officials can use this as an excuse to punish his fleet and the Xu family.

The stakes are dangerous, how could he not know.

It's because I know it well, so I'm so angry!

He hated himself for looking forward and backward, and hated himself for being powerless.Having been at sea for 20 years, he is proud of being a veteran, and he will never back down easily when encountering pirates.But this time he was slapped hard.

Regardless of whether Yun Xiaoliu could come back or not, he felt deeply ashamed.

Xu Sanshao just lived in Mingzhou, neither going out to socialize nor planning to go anywhere.On the big ship, the doors are closed every day and no one is allowed to enter or leave casually.But Qian Chan, the boy, would go to the pier early in the morning to communicate with Li Kui, the steward, and then come back to convey it to Xu Sanshao.

They were nothing more than waiting for news from Yun Runsheng.

And the missing royal ship.

The other two elder brothers of the Wang family have written family letters with tears in their eyes to report the funeral to the elders far away in their hometown.

Young Master Wang, who was 'dead', finally returned to his soul at this moment, wrapped in a large body of thick clothes, and was helped by the servants to the deck to look at Mingzhou, which was about to arrive.

Their big ship has just stepped into the territory of Mingzhou and passed by a small island that is a symbol of Mingzhou.You can see Mingzhou soon.

Young master Wang was looking forward to it. He decided to marry a wife and start a family after returning home this time, and never go on a boat again.

Whoever loves this money will earn it!

He chooses to die.

Not far away, Rong Ying hid behind the door and quietly took a few glances at Young Master Wang, even though this person's ruthlessness made him almost desperate for life and death, but she was grateful for his kindness and care in the past, and Rong Ying hoped that he would live well.

From now on, he will always be loyal to the son.

Rong Ying brought tea into the room, and quietly approached Mr. Huang who was painting.He had learned painting in a brothel, but he couldn't do it when compared with the young master.

The son is a genius!

I saw the vast sea described by the young master, the sun is shining, the water is sparkling, the sea pig is swimming happily, the white sea pig is carrying a young man on its back, and there is a small boat in front of it. On the small boat, a man in black stands with his hands behind his back, with a handsome and tall figure. .

"..." Rong Ying remained silent. Ever since Daoist Yun retreated, the young master has been drawing pictures in his house every day. He has drawn pictures of huge sea waves, majestic ships, sea merchants seeing off at the pier, sunrise and sunset, every day. The sub-paintings all have the demeanor of a master, with exquisite skills and natural charm.

Today's...

He doesn't comment!

"Young master, Mingzhou will arrive soon, and it is estimated that we can land at dusk."

"Oh."

"Sir, do you want to rest?" Rong Ying was very depressed, Mr. Don't pay too much attention to Daoist Yun, he is a Daoist!

"Go on your own."

"……Oh."

At dusk, the setting sun is like blood.

The tall figure of a large ship appeared on the sea level, and the people shuttled on the pier couldn't help but stop and look in the distance, trying to see which ship was coming.

I saw the flag fluttering on the mast, and the word "King" made people look forward to and fear.

Shuisheng gave Li Kui a kidnapper, and pointed at the big boat: "Look carefully, is it the flag of the Wang family? Your eyes are better than mine, so I can't see clearly."

"...Yes." Li Kui hesitated.

"Is it really?"

"It's really a big ship of the Royal family!" The men next to him echoed, their faces extremely excited.

"Quick! Go and tell Third Young Master!"

"Yes!"

One person slipped off the boat to announce the good news.

As the big ship got closer, everyone had completely confirmed the identity of the big ship of the Wang family.All of them beamed with joy for a while.If the Wang family can come back, so must Chef Yun, right? "Maybe Yun Liu is on the Wang's boat." Li Kui speculated.

Shuisheng cheered and jumped away: "I'll tell Huzi! That silly boy has been worried for a few days without food or drink, and if he continues like this, he will definitely get sick."

Master Yun Runsheng was not around, so Hu Zi took over as the chef.I cook with tears every day, but I don’t want to swallow it when I’m ready.In the first few days, I looked and waited confidently on the deck, but later, I was disappointed day by day, and I didn’t want to go anywhere except the kitchen and dormitory.I am even more afraid that there is nothing in the empty sea.

"Huzi, your master is back!"

"Master..."

Huzi raised his head in a daze, his eyes gradually focused, and he came back to his senses: "Master!"

He jumped up and rushed out.

"Master! Master!" Before the Wang family's boat approached, Huzi was already jumping up and down on the deck and waving eagerly.

Shui Sheng laughed: "What a silly boy, he can't hear you calling me that."

Li Kui hesitated to speak, thinking that he would just talk casually, who knows if Yun Liu is on the boat...

Huzi didn't care at all, and kept shouting until the big ship was close at hand, and the crew members greeted each other with laughter.

When the brothers and sisters met each other, tears filled their eyes with excitement.

But Hu Zi only had his master in his eyes: "Where is the master, where is my master?"

The people on the other side of the boat fell silent, and Huzi's heart tightened.

Finally, a good-looking, timid and shy young man got out of the crowd, lying on the edge of the boat and shaking his hand at Huzi: "Hu, Huzi! My son, I want you to rest assured that your master Yun Daochang is safe and sound." , but he is practicing in seclusion and cannot come out to see you for the time being. Just wait a few days."

Huzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you. I'll wait for Master to come out."

After delivering the news, Rong Ying immediately went back to tell the young master.

The young master who was painting by the window had already put away his pen and was sitting by the side drinking tea.

"Young master, why don't you draw anymore?"

"Too noisy."

As soon as he arrived at the pier, his ears were full of Huzi's angry "Master, Master, Master...".

Hmph, having a master is amazing.

It is truly amazing to have such a powerful master!

Rong Ying hesitated and said, "My lord, when shall we disembark?"

"Wait for the Taoist priest to come out."

"Ah."

After Song Yuxiu was free for a while, she became extremely busy.

Xu Sanshao is here.

Standing on the steps with a sword in hand, the young man stared at Xu Sanshao and his party indifferently.

"Don't let me say it a third time, Daoist Yun is in retreat, and no one is allowed to disturb you at a critical moment. Xu Sanshao, you are the same."

Xu Sanshao struggled: "Can't you let me take a look? I just want to confirm his safety."

"No, he's fine."

The rest and family members hesitated to speak, they may not really care about Yun Runsheng's life and death, but they are very concerned about Sun Baye's life and death!

What kind of person Song Yuxiu is, you can tell what some people are thinking at a glance, "Don't worry, this wave of pirates has been eradicated by Daoist Yun, and they will never come out to do evil again. For specific matters, you might as well talk to Young Master Wang, he I know it better than you guys, and I'm afraid it will be unforgettable for a lifetime after witnessing a scene that I will never forget." After finishing speaking, Song Yuxiu smiled, put away her sword and went back to the house.

Xu Sanshao and the others looked at each other.

"Let's go, talk to Wang Laoyao first."

"Daozhang Yun greets him after he leaves the customs."

"By the way, just now I saw the youngest Wang being helped into the carriage. It seems that he is in a very bad condition."

"...Are you injured?"

"Walk around and ask."

The youngest Wang who just wanted to sleep until dawn, woke up and told him that it was a nightmare, was forced to recall the Shura field in detail after a quarter of an hour, and felt wronged and wanted to cry.

The pier became quiet at night, only a few people were still busy.

Huzi brought the cooked supper to the big boat of the Wang family, and handed it to Mr. Huang to taste.

Song Yuxiu drank seafood porridge and nodded: "It's delicious, it tastes like your master."

Huzi scratched his head shyly, laughing foolishly.

Song Yuxiu moved his eyes away, he seemed to understand the saying that foolish people have foolish blessings.

"Your master is next door, don't worry about it."

"Yes, yes, I will take a look and never disturb Master!"

Song Yuxiu laughed: "Forget it, since you don't want to leave, you can watch the night nearby."

"Thank you, Young Master Huang!"

"No, you are his apprentice."

I am nothing, the boy drank the porridge sullenly.

In the dead of night, everyone in the city is asleep.

There was still a dim yellow light on the Wang's boat, Song Yuxiu woke up from her sleep and sat up, went to the window to continue the unfinished painting during the day.

While painting, he put down his pen anxiously and took out the jade pendant that he had never left since childhood.

Rubbing the Pisces jade pendant, the young man gradually became quiet.

Rong Ying said, this is a very special jade pendant, containing power that frightens him.Since it has been there since childhood, it is estimated to be a protective object.

Protect yourself?

Song Yuxiu didn't know that he had been in danger many times, and he never felt that Yupei was very special.

Yupei had been there since birth, and Nanny Ning told him that it was a private property left to him by his mother.

After a long time, it became a habit, Song Yuxiu escaped from the capital with nothing, except that she didn't want to leave it behind.

After thinking for a long time, the young man started to write.

Taking out the clean white rice paper, the boy slowly drew beautiful strokes.

The elegant room next door.

Yun Runsheng sitting upright is like a fiery red sculpture, covered in flames all over his body, with dazzling golden edges outlined outside his outline.

The blurred face shrouded in flames was slightly forbearing, and on the forehead, bright red lines flickered.

Suddenly, Yun Runsheng covered his collarbone in pain, and the object touched by his palm rolled around like a living thing.

He held it tightly, his face became more and more distorted and hideous, and the flame gradually lost control and became shapeless.

The pain caused him to have distracting thoughts suddenly, his mind was full of chaos, and he was just a little bit short, but he couldn't meditate.

Just when he was struggling unbearably, the melodious music suddenly came.

The sound of Jing Ye's flute is a bit cold, but it is enough to calm people down, and they just want to stop and listen to this song quietly.

With a thought, Yun Runsheng's face returned to calm, and everything was in his heart.

The pulsating lines on the forehead quietly disappeared.

At the collarbone, that thing didn't move any more, firmly engraving its mark.

Yun Runsheng let out a long and joyful roar in his heart, and suddenly opened his eyes.

at last!

Breakthrough!
