Rebirth of Beigu Sirius

In the early spring seven years ago, Wuling was in full bloom.

Layers upon layers of green and green mountains finally wake up from the baptism of severe winter. Bare trees with dead branches sprout young bones, dotted and scattered. They look like a soft red sunset from a distance, and look like a thin pink rouge in a close view. The gentleman's courtyard, which has always been solemn and elegant, is slightly more gentle than the other three seasons.

But today, Ling Shuang, who lives in front of the gate of this house, is not very peaceful.

There are two trees, one peach and one plum, inside the courtyard wall. The living room is quiet, the door is wide open, the tables and chairs are arranged as usual, it seems that there is no difference.But if you walk around carefully, you can see that the spring mud in the backyard has been trampled in a mess, and there are still a string of mud shoe prints on the wall next to it from high to low. The black and white are very obvious. It looks like some restless kid Caused by climbing over the wall.

Under the wall, there was a circle of domestic servants, all of them were downcast and did not dare to make a sound, while the young master who was surrounded in the middle and was hugged by several people across his waist, was on fire like the bottom of a pot, with spittle flying everywhere.

"Let go of me, let me go! Yun Zhuo, that brat, sneaked away again, let me catch him and kill him!"

Excited to scold, Yunhua flicked his sleeve robe, and the pastry box he was carrying in his hand fell to the ground, making a big noise: "It's a shame that I brought him sweet-scented osmanthus cake! I didn't expect that, someone was watching from outside the gate. , This kid has learned to jump over walls and yards!"

"Ouch, young master."

The headed old house slave came in a hurry, and when he saw this, he quickly bent down to pick up the pastry box, carefully wiped off the dust and muddy water with his hand, and said earnestly: "The third young master has a brother with a different surname in Jiumiao, and he is also a fun-loving age. Why should you be angry with him... There is no need to make trouble with dim sum, right? Don't give it away, eat it yourself."

"Hmph, I don't like these sweet things."

With the elder in front, Yunhua restrained himself a little, his anger faded a little, he sighed and shook his head: "If he doesn't want it, I can't eat it either, why don't I take it to Youhuang Courtyard and give it to my second brother."

"Uh, this..."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar again, all the servants looked at each other, shaking their heads, their faces were very bright, but when they arrived, no one dared to speak.

After a moment of stalemate, the old servant shook his head and patted Yunhua's shoulder: "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master also ran away five days ago, so you really have to eat the dim sum by yourself..."

Yunhua's face turned darker, and the veins on his eyebrows twitched: "What?!"

"Don't be angry, young master, don't be angry."

The old servant hurriedly comforted him: "Second young master, he is going out to travel and collect scenery for business..."

"What's wrong with the business, these two boys, each of them was there when they were making trouble, and none of them were doing the business, I was so mad!"

The more he talked, the more angry Yunhua became, and Yunhua's roar shook endlessly in a large courtyard: "You guys help me remember, when Yun Zhuo comes back, put him in confinement, copy the Ten Commandments of a Gentleman a hundred times, and then break his legs!!"

Far away from the roaring echoes of the colorful falling flowers, the early spring in Jiumiao, in the middle of Shu, is just a curtain of green bamboos.

It was spring rain just to moisten things, and in the small bamboo garden outside the disciple's room, bamboo shoots sprung up after the rain, you scrambled to break through the ground, tender and fresh, and watery.Several gangs of greedy little disciples fought each other to catch up with each other, hurriedly poked off the newly sprouted bamboo shoots, carried the elders behind their backs, and sneakily roasted the "trophies" into dried bamboo shoots with fresh mud, chatting for a full meal belly.

thump--

In the courtyard wall of the northernmost disciple's room, there was a muffled sound of heavy footsteps, and a figure in a different color from that of Jiu Miao's disciple fell into the corner, with a sword on his waist, conspicuous white hair, and a spirited figure. jump.

And this is none other than the culprit who just made the young master of the Yun family furious - the third young master Yunzhuo.

"Brother Lin, I'm here to play with you again!"

The young master of the Yun family with snow-haired golden shirt had a soft voice, shouted and hurriedly ran towards the house, his snow-white ponytail dangling, his eyes were empty and he didn't look at the road, his feet staggered and he happened to bump into a person in front of the courtyard .

"Huh? Watch out!"

The man was tall and straight, half a head taller than him, the bridge of his nose was touching the young master's forehead, seeing the golden ball rolling on the ground, he hurriedly endured the pain in his nose to help him.

But when he saw that fluffy white hair, he showed surprise again: "You are, Young Master Yun?"

"Li, Brother Li?"

After being called by someone, Yun Zhuo looked up and recognized his face, Yun Zhuo was also taken aback, and hurriedly patted his buttocks and stood up.

The person in front of him has a calm expression, black clothes and black hair, black eyes and black boots, a black forehead, a black sword on his waist, and almost no part of his body is white except his face and hands. He is Situ Lin's only senior brother—— — Liche.

It is rumored that twenty years ago, the young hero Situ Zhe received a meal from an old man surnamed Feng, and vowed to be a newspaper in the future.Unexpectedly, before repaying the favor, the family was killed by the enemy's revenge. Only one youngest son, Feng Yujin, was rescued by him. He intended to change his name and surname, and raised him with his eldest son, Situ Lin, who was two years younger than him. He was the first and second disciple of Jiu Miao in this generation.

Li Che has experienced ups and downs since he was a child, and his mind is much more mature than his peers. Although he is dressed in black in honor of his deceased relatives, he acts upright, calm and courteous, and has an open mind.Regardless of school chores, martial arts practice, mentoring younger siblings, or the funeral of the master a few years ago, all arrangements are very appropriate, won the favor of the elders of Jiumiao and the love of the disciples of the same generation. In stark contrast, it can be said to be a rare "model benchmark" among the disciples of this generation.

"Brother Li, what are you doing here?"

Yun Zhuo looked at the pitch-black "model" in front of him, scratched his head and said, "I'm here to play with my brother Lin, what about others?"

When Li Che heard the words, he spread his hands: "Oh, young master... I'm just worried about your brother Lin."

"Huh? Worry... him?"

The words came to my ears, but I didn't understand why, Yun Zhuo narrowed his eyes and took a look at the disciple room where the two senior brothers lived.

——In the hut, the curtains are drawn, the lamps are not lit, and it is in a daze. The only thing that can be vaguely seen is the blurred shadow that is surrounded by Li.

Tsk, brother Lin, are you still awake?

He frowned and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that he didn't get up again. The elder who taught the morning class is angry?"

"Don't say it, don't say it, it would be fine if it's just a morning class."

Li Che shook his head, raised his hand in his sleeve, and found that the cloth was a piece of folded paper, and there was hidden spiritual power flowing on it, which seemed to be used by the Nine Miao Sect to transmit messages between people.

He pinched the formula to unlock the curse, handed the paper to Yun Zhuo, and sighed: "Here, look. Uncle Master sent us two missions to get rid of demons and asked to leave immediately, but Junior Brother Ruzhi just couldn't get up...but call What should I do!"

"Exorcism, mission?"

Yun Zhuo seemed to understand, so he stretched out his hand to take it, unfolded the paper, and saw a line of small words on it that was very obvious - "Return to Litanbei Wuming Village, evil spirits make trouble, and only kill newcomers".

"Specialize in killing newcomers, are you still near Guilitan?"

Rubbing his fingertips and handing the paper back, he frowned slightly: "Tsk, it seems that this matter is a bit evil?"

Li Che nodded: "Since the Five Heroes, this pool has been quiet for a long time, but the power of ghosts is very powerful, and we should not underestimate it in our life. Besides, the grand ceremony is coming, and Ye Bai is afraid that there will still be ghosts in the vicinity. Get rid of early and good morning, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Ah."

Thinking of the second elder brother and his family's grand ceremony, and thinking about the pool that had been guarded by the five sects of the Immortal Sect for hundreds of years, Yun Zhuo was deeply convinced.

It is rumored that at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, there were frequent wars, and the spirit of ghosts lingered. After a long time, it once condensed into a demon, harming the common people and doing evil everywhere.Fortunately, heroes were born in troubled times, and five heroes each contributed their strengths, combined with the power of five tokens, and sealed it forever in a pool near Yunmengze, named it Guili, which means "if you return, you will never leave".

Later, the Five Heroes were divided into five schools: Jiumiao, Taoyuan, Wuding, Zhanlu and Yunya.I vowed that from the date of completion of the seal, every five years, one of the outstanding disciples of the sect would be selected to come to the Guili Lake to strengthen the seal, and it would be passed down from generation to generation, and it has continued to this day.

And this year, it is the year of the ceremony, the family of the celestial sect lined up in order is their Wuling Yun family, and the person chosen to stand on the sealing platform to perform spells and preside over it is none other than Bai Zejun Yunchen.

"Before and after the Grand Ceremony, there was a demon infested near the Guili Lake, whether it was big or small."

Li Che took a look at the house with the closed curtains, his complexion was even worse, and he sighed as if he hated iron but steel: "But whether it's big or small, you have to go to see the result! Look at Junior Brother Ruzhi again. , it’s already noon, and I’m still meeting Zhou Gong inside... how can I explain to my uncle.”

"Then, let me try it for you?"

Li Che's words were reasonable, remembering the strange experience that he had hit the right side and made Situ Lin wake up early for several months, Yun Zhuo tilted his head and glanced at the hut.

"Young master?"

The perverse junior is Jiu Miao's first disciple who has suffered from heart problems for many years. Although he heard that someone shared it, he was very happy.But this person is small in stature, he doesn't seem to be a person who can speak well, and his reputation in the Jianghu is not good, he still murmured in his heart, with a serious face: "You...are you really good at it?""

"perhaps?"

Yun Zhuo said embarrassingly: "I recited the Ten Commandments of a Gentleman a few times in the room before, but I didn't think Brother Lin would save face. I was aroused by me, and suddenly he listened to my words for a while."

"Hiss, you say it like this... it seems that such a thing really happened?"

When someone mentioned it, Li Chelue recalled the obedient experience of his junior brother who had taken the wrong medicine a year ago.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the grievances between the two of them might really be of some use. I'm afraid that one thing in the world will fall into another thing, so they gradually softened their expressions towards Yun Zhuo.

So he paced around twice and found that there was only one way left.Finally, he took out the key from his pocket as if compromising, shook his head and handed it to the young master: "Okay, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor... This is the key to the disciple's room, young master, do your best, I'll go to the mountain gate first Waiting for you."

"Hey, Brother Li, go slowly."

Seeing that the matter was settled after letting go of the words, Yun Zhuo hurriedly nodded and took it, exchanged a few words of greetings to send Li Che away, tiptoedly opened the keyhole and slipped to the door with a "squeak" push, and took a tentative look at the room.

As a result, on the green bamboo bed in the room, the person whom he wanted to see even though he climbed over the wall and slipped into the yard was snoring softly in a very bad image.

Situ Lin's clothes were partly opened, revealing the youthful texture of a martial arts boy, but the thin quilt that should have been covered had been rolled into a ball, and someone turned over and kicked twice, kicking his ankles.

"Brother Rin!"

Sleeping soundly, lying on all fours, this appearance is really sloppy, Yun Zhuo can't help frowning even though he has been friends with friends for many years.

He bravely took two steps forward, while pulling the quilt towards the person, he put on a black face: "Brother Lin, wake up, today you are going to get rid of the demon with your senior brother!"

"...Huh? Eliminate, demon? Eliminate what demon?"

Situ Lin, who hadn't finished playing against Zhou Gong with three souls and seven souls, was swayed by Yun Zhuo, yawned in a daze, and looked at him with one eye: "Is it something that my senior brother got again?" Lao Shi sub-task?"

Yun Zhuo nodded.

"Ouch."

Situ Lin lifted up his jacket, scratched his back casually, turned over and moaned: "Brother, he is good at everything, but he has a lot of troubles... Don't bother with him, his martial arts are so high, it's not a problem for him to eliminate demons alone."

"This……"

Yun Zhuo frowned and grabbed his sleeve: "Not too good?"

Situ Lin turned over and rolled up the quilt: "It's nothing bad."

Yun Zhuo hesitated to speak, "But brother Li is waiting for you."

Situ Lin breathed heavily, humming: "Then let him wait, anyway, he will leave if he can't wait."

"you!"

Yun Zhuo poked his face: "Aren't you afraid of being scolded by Mr. Chang?"

"I'm thick-skinned, I'm used to being scolded..."

Situ Lin didn't care, and slapped his hand off: "Besides, sleeping is much more comfortable than exorcising demons... It's okay to be scolded a few times."

"Hey."

Yun Zhuo folded his arms and squatted down at the head of his bed: "Brother Lin, you really don't want to go."

"I really don't go!"

Situ Lin concluded with one word, resolutely.

"Well, that's fine."

Scratching his white hair, as if he had made up his mind, Yun Zhuo pulled out a white jade hairpin with carved arrow feathers from the root of the ponytail tied behind his head.

With both index fingers and thumbs, he squeezed the hairpin rod carefully, and held it up to the tip of his nose between his eyes devoutly, brewing his emotions for a moment, pouted his little mouth, closed his eyes and began to cry "吚吚吹吹" : "Mother, Aunt Ye, look, brother Lin doesn't listen to me again...you have to make the decision for me."

Young Master Yun was very cute and round, and his usual tone of voice was a bit Wu Nong, but now he was twisting his nose and rubbing his eyes, pretending to be exaggerated to the extreme and "tearing down".Although a long time passed, there was still thunder and no rain, but the tune sounded pitifully tight, but after all, it was very wronged and could even fool people.

After a while, Situ Lin really couldn't listen anymore, and raised his hand in front of the man's face: "Stop!"

When he opened his eyes, he saw the hairpin standing upright in front of his eyes, his face turned darker immediately, and he lifted the quilt and stood up.

He reached out and grabbed two handfuls from the pillow, pulled out a white jade hairpin that was exactly the same, gestured to Yun Zhuo, and said angrily, "Yun Zhuo, what do you mean?"

"No, nothing interesting."

Yun Zhuo rolled his eyes, and sighed hypocritically: "Isn't it, just chatting with my mother and Aunt Ye about homework."

"Hmph, don't you forget to speak ill of me when you talk about your family?"

Situ Lin squeezed the kid's soft, white bun-like fleshy face with both hands, and snorted, "It's really you who hit a snake and hit seven inches."

Their pair of hairpins were carved from a piece of Hetian white jade divided into two parts, and they were the winning prize of the Lingyun Conference won by Situ Lin's mother Ye Xuanyu when she was young.One is kept for oneself, and the other is given to a good sister Zhuo Huan, who vowed to pass it on to the next generation, waiting for recognition.

Unexpectedly, chaos and misfortunes happened suddenly after that, it was true that the hairpin was passed on to Situ Lin and Yun Zhuo, but before the two little tuanzi could remember, both mothers died.Although the two finally met each other again, every time they see this hairpin again, it is inevitable to look at things and think about others.

Jiu Miao's family style is open, Situ Lin has been surrounded by senior brothers since he was a child, and his father misses his wife eagerly and neglects to control him, so he behaves perversely and is used to lawlessness. If there is any weakness, it is probably this mother who died early .

Knowing this person's weakness, Yun Zhuo tilted his head and smiled, picked up his hairpin and put it together with Situ Lin's.

"Brother Lin."

The left and right halves of the jade carving tail feathers were stitched together in an instant. Yun Zhuo poked his shoulder and said word by word: "If you continue to be so disobedient, Aunt Ye will be sad."

"I!"

Situ Lin blew his beard and stared, pointed at him and gestured: "You..."

"what happened to me?"

Seeing being criticized, Yun Zhuo pursed his lips, and pinched his hairpin like a life-saving straw: "Mother, Aunt Ye, look at Brother Lin..."

"Okay okay, stop."

This person talked about his mother's relics, but he was forced to utter a word, Situ Lin raised his hand in a polite manner: "Stop, don't talk anymore... I promise you, I promise you to get rid of the demon, can't you?"

"Well, it's done!"

Yun Zhuo was satisfied when his wish was fulfilled.

"but……"

Situ Lin glanced at the smug kid, and said thoughtfully, "I promise you, but there is a condition."

Yun Zhuo raised his eyes: "Huh? What?"

Situ Lin said: "You have to go with us on this exorcism trip."

"Hey, what kind of condition is this?"

I thought the other party was going to embarrass himself, but Yun Zhuo smiled "puchi" when he heard the words, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Anyway, I sneaked out this trip, just to find you to play with. What's more, this time the wandering and demon elimination is still very difficult." Near Guilitan, even if you don't call me, I still want to go with you just to see my second brother!"

Situ Lin narrowed his eyes: "If that's the case, then it's settled?"

"Of course, it's settled like this, no one should go back on their word!"

When the condition was fulfilled, Yun Zhuo hurriedly threw him a pile of clothes from the small cabinet in front of the bed, pushed him away, and said with a smile, "Go, pack up quickly, and go find Brother Li!"

The two of them folded their clothes and packed their luggage, and chattered for a while, finally arrived at the gate of the mountain to reconcile with Li Che.

However, Guilitan is far away from the middle of Sichuan, neither far nor near. The three of them set off overnight, and rode their horses for a day and a night.

The village is remote and the fields are barren, and they only live by a small ditch that is diverted from the groundwater of Guili Lake.Even so, everyone is still poor. Most of the young and strong laborers ran away early. In the past half a year, they encountered the disaster of monsters, which made things worse.

A group of people set up horses at the entrance of the village and searched for a long time, but they couldn't even find a guesthouse or hotel. When they wanted to borrow a residence, they found that the houses here were small and dilapidated, and there was no room for three big people. The young man finally inquired for a while, so he had to borrow some bedding and sneak into the abandoned Yuanwai mansion.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a nest of mice running all over the ground. Yun Zhuo frowned and took the scabbard to try the dust on the stone platform. Although the thickness was average, it was so dirty that he couldn't open his eyes. He looked up again. On the ground, there is air leakage on the four walls, and cobwebs are everywhere.

"Oh, this place is really broken."

He used to live in a rich and well-clothed home, but he never lived in such a dilapidated house. He lamented again and again: "This guy is really interesting. He built a house for the elderly in such a poor, poor village, and finally couldn't stand the hard life, so he ran away." ?”

"That's hard to say."

Situ Lin put the bedding on the bed in the side room, took out a few white candles from his arms, squeezed some formulas, and burned the cobwebs: "I can't keep them all, are they scared away by the demon?"

"That's true, the evil fruit is really bad."

Li Che pinched his nose and blew the ashes on the wooden table in the main hall, but the more he looked at it, the more he frowned: "We took orders first, so we have to investigate carefully, so as to restore the peace of the people here."

"That's right, Senior Brother, I know you have a chivalrous heart."

Situ Lin looked at the mess in the house and shook his head: "But no matter how to get rid of the demon, you have to settle for food and accommodation first, right? This place is too dirty and messy to live in. Let's go get a bucket of water and wash it first!"

"Hit, hit, hit quickly!"

Yun Zhuo, who already had a slight obsession with cleanliness, was sitting on pins and needles in this room. Hearing this, he immediately raised his hands and feet in agreement.Jumping up first, striding out, the snow-white robe was scraped by the mud wall of the low table, leaving marks after death.

He looked left and right, dug out a wooden barrel from the front yard wall, rubbed the handle twice and held it in his hand, regardless of Sanqi 21, he went outside to look for a well.

As a result, before he could get out of the small courtyard, the one in front of him didn't pay attention, and "Kang Dang" bumped into another person.

It was a thin young man with a cinnabar forehead, dressed in plain clothes with gold and bamboo patterns, and carrying a seven-stringed sapphire guqin on his back. While his body was still stable, he took two steps back and finally stood still.

Surprised, he brushed off the dust from his robe, and wanted to leave, but when he saw the faces of the people at the door, he paused and his expression froze.

"Third brother? Yu Jin?"

The young master said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
