[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

After finishing the official business, it was already evening, Shen Ye stood outside the conference hall, looking at the gradually sinking sunset outside the dome barrier of Liuyue City, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

"Yue'er, tell me... Is it because women are so hard to understand, or is Xiaoxi's temper very different? Why do I always make her angry..."

Priest Lianzhen, who was named, looked at High Priest Ziwei who was standing with his back to him with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but roll his eyes. Anyway, he didn't have eyes behind his back, so he couldn't see her little movements.

"The high priest is busy with his duties, so he forgets his personal interests because of his duties, which is really an example..."

Hua Yue said lightly, avoiding seriousness, and didn't mean to answer seriously at all.She no longer wants to make any effort to correct Shen Ye's cognitive biases in certain aspects, and it is still futile to try to save them for so many years, so it is time to give up.

"Xiaoxi returned to Liuyue City. She was separated from the high priest for many years before, and she was a little emotional, which is reasonable..."

"……Too……"

Shen Ye let out a long sigh, "Xiaoxi was forced to flee to the lower realm for many years, but I, as a brother, can't help her, and I can't do anything for her... After the emigration is over, if I can make up for it..."

The direction of thinking that completely withdraws from the south to the north makes Huayue despair, what she really wants to express is not this!

Shen Xi didn't know that her temper had ruined her brother until she was completely depressed. Her temper came and went quickly, and she had already forgotten about her brother's peeking at the letter when she returned to the room.

As for the scripts that were confiscated, anyway, I know the writer, so I can just ask her to blackmail her later, and it will be enough to pay for her meals when she goes down the mountain to eat and drink.

Holding the already brittle letter paper and unfolding it gently, compared with now, the handwriting of more than 70 years ago is obviously not smooth and round, and the brushstrokes still have a feeling of youth and carelessness... It's not old yet, why nostalgia?

When she was laughing at herself, she looked up and saw Chu Qi coming in from the outside, Shen Xi blinked, and suddenly remembered the scene in the meeting room where he put on a mask with his back turned to her.

"Chu Qi, do you have this?"

She picked up the bamboo tube and handed it to Chu Qi, "Shen Nong's birthday was 120 four years ago, you should have been born at that time, right?"

Shen Ye asked Chu Qi not to take off his mask in front of others, even Shen Xi didn't know what the hidden guard looked like.Not showing his true face, apart from the secrecy of the secret guard work, there may also be reasons why he lived in Liuyue City before he became Chu Qi, so he might be recognized.

After the birthday of that year, Shen Xi checked it with the demographic list. Every citizen, including Cangming, handed in a time capsule to the temple for storage. .

She estimated the approximate age of Chu Qi, and she should have been born at that time. Even if she couldn't find out her previous identity, theoretically there would be a time capsule.

Hearing this, Chu Qi was slightly taken aback, he did have an unopened bamboo tube, it was given to him by Shen Ye privately after Shen Xi quarreled over peeking at the letter, and it was not warm just after he got it.

"Is there any?"

After seeing Chu Qi's answer for a long time, Shen Xi tugged at his sleeve and asked.

"Miss Xi, forgive me, but my subordinates don't know."

The name on the seal had been erased, and Chu Qi had no interest in checking his identity before he became a secret guard, so this letter naturally had nothing to do with him.

"..."

Shen Xi's eyes were full of "Are you kidding me" swiping the screen, a word representing the sun bounced on the tip of his tongue for a few times, and finally rolled back into his stomach.

"This subordinate takes the liberty of..."

Chu Qi took a look at Shen Xi's expression, he didn't look angry, that's fine.

"Is what Miss Xi said very important?"

"Well...it's not that important..." Shen Xi didn't realize that Chu Qi was changing the subject, "At that time, we hadn't found a way to break the boundary, everyone was trapped in the city, and there were serious diseases... I just think , if I have a thought, I can probably hold my breath and live a little longer..."

The records of Shennong's birthday ceremonies over the years are basically semi-public documents, and ordinary people can borrow them through the priests.And many years ago when Chu Qi just learned that his mission was to protect the master's sister, he also investigated the news related to Shen Xi within the scope allowed by Shen Ye.Hearing Shen Xi's mention of the birthday ceremony, he understood it after a short recollection.

Well, there are also inaccurate gossip that Miss Xi was cheated by the master that time.

"What was written in Miss Xi's letter at that time..." With the cover of the mask, Chu Qi carefully observed Shen Xi's eyes, "Can you tell my subordinates to know?"

Shen Xi glanced at Chu Qi in surprise, and turned the letter paper over so that the side with words faced Chu Qi.

"It's nothing...Moreover, what was written in the letter back then is actually...almost considered to have come true... right..."

Reading the meaning of permission from Shen Xi's movements, Chu Qi quickly glanced at the letter paper.In fact, when Shen Xi held the letter in his hand just now, he had the opportunity to peep, but without Shen Xi's consent, Chu Qi didn't dare to read it casually - there is already a lesson learned by Miss Shen Er and her brother.

"If you dare to laugh, I will beat you to death!"

"This subordinate has absolutely no such intention!" Chu Qi quickly stepped forward and said without hesitation, "Miss Xi's idea is very good!"

"What's the matter..." Shen Xi curled her lips, "Don't you think it's childish?"

Seeing that Shen Xi, who used to maintain the appearance of a girl and likes to call herself an elder, is still childish and laughs at herself as a child. Hook the corners of your mouth.

Really childish.

While thinking about it, he rubbed Shen Xi's head again, and then he let out an uncontrollable gasp.

Turning his head, he saw Yun Yu covering his mouth with both hands, and the exposed half of his face was full of extreme horror.Chu Qi couldn't help but spit on herself. When she rubbed Miss Shen's head just now, she actually let down her vigilance, and didn't even notice that someone was approaching here...that's really careless.

——It's too careless!

At almost the same moment, this sentence also flashed through Yun Yu's brain that finally restarted.

Before that, the only ones who could rub Shen Xi's head like this without being eaten to death by bugs were Shen Xi's brother Shen Ye and the priest of Fa Xiao Tianfu...they could rub Shen Xi's head for no reason.

For a moment, Yun Yu really wanted to show all the high-level spells he knew to the first seven rounds, but after thinking about it, this person was sent by the high priest, and with Ziwei Zun's caution, he would never He will send people who don't know his roots to protect his precious sister who has the same eyeballs.

——Could it be specially...?

Yun Yu quickly withdrew, she didn't want to be considered by the high priest as disrupting the situation.

But only halfway through the withdrawal, Yun Yu remembered again, he didn't come here to take a look when he was idle and bored, but to report something...

So the foot that had already stepped out of the door was stuck in mid-air like this, as if it had been fixed by someone, neither awkward nor embarrassing.It wasn't until this time that Shen Xi realized that someone was coming.

"Clouds?"

Second Miss Shen looked suspiciously at the maid standing at the door of the outer room, tilted her head, "Is there something wrong?"

The maid who was named could only put down her footsteps, cleared her throat with a cough, and then said, "The priest of the giant door has something to see."

"Yu Feng?" So Shen Xi was even more puzzled, she hadn't troubled Yi Gao recently.

As a result, when someone came in and explained their purpose, Shen Xi and Chu Qi were dumbfounded—Li Goudan was lost.

"...Are you sure you got lost, not because your aunt couldn't stand Li Goudan's stupidity and secretly threw it away?"

It took Shen Xi a while to react, "This is the crime of abandonment!"

Chu Qi behind him also nodded silently. With the unpredictable behavior style of the priest of Tianfu, he is not interested in fluffy. There are really not many people who are as obsessed with fluffy as Shen Xi. In addition, Li Goudan With a stupid degree, this situation is indeed very likely to happen.

Yu Feng's expression drifted for a while, and it took a few seconds to recover: "It's really lost, she has gone to the lower realm to look for it..."

Shen Xi couldn't help but help her forehead: What kind of shit is this...

"Then you came here to tell me this?"

"No..." Yu Feng gritted his teeth slightly, "Before the priest of Tianfu leaves, let me help her mobilize as many people as possible to find her, and the first one is you."

In fact, Congyang's original words were: Xiaoxi is so familiar with Li Goudan, and Li Goudan is very close to her, she must be able to understand Li Goudan's thoughts and infer the direction of that idiot's actions.

——Of course, you can't say this to Shen Xi. The old man said that he would rather offend Shen Ye than Shen Xi, so that Yu Feng would not seek death.

"When and where was the last time Congyang saw Li Goudan?" Shen Xi thought for a while and asked according to the general process of searching for missing persons.

"It was this morning. Wasn't she in charge of following Yichenzi and the others and looking for Xie Yi's whereabouts? After going to Langde, Li Goudan went to play nearby, and when my cousin came back, Li Goudan didn't follow her... ..."

Having said that, Yu Feng curled his lips secretly, what got lost was obviously a playful person who never came back, and a person who let go of walking the dog without leashing!

Shen Xi spread her hands: "Then ask the people who are following you, they might know."

According to Li Goudan's urination, as long as he didn't run out of Langde's territory, when Yichenzi and the others arrived, they would most likely run to meet Lala... Shen Xi calculated secretly, Xie Yi was stupid to death by Li Goudan How much is the possibility of Lala being played to death by Li Goudan.

But when Yu Feng mentioned the lower realm again, she remembered another thing.

"Let's not talk about Li Goudan, there is something more important."

While talking, she subconsciously glanced at the wooden canopy covering the entire temple, "We were in Haishi that day, didn't we meet Yichenzi and they rescued a girl named Henggongyu?"

Yu Feng thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case: "Then they went to find the Taoist priest who dug the inner alchemy of the monster."

"That's right, the Heng male fish has never been corroded by Ju Muzhi's demonic energy. It is said that it is because the nectar on her body can dispel evil spirits and prevent her from being harmed by the demonic energy."

It's just that including Chu Qi, the attention of the three of them was attracted by Xie Yi's whereabouts at that time, and they didn't notice it.Shen Xi was also very fortunate, thinking about it now, it shouldn't be too late.

"From what the girl said, nectar pendant is not a very rare thing for them..."

Yu Feng's eyes lit up, and he also thought of the important point: "The other day there was a female mermaid who said that she wanted to accompany the Henggongyu girl to find a mother, and since we developed Longbingyu, we have spent a lot of time making friends with the surrounding aquariums. , the Pearl Sea where the female mermaid is located is also in it!"

The two had the same idea, using the relationship between Longbingyu Lieshan Department and Mingzhuhai, coupled with the background of being murdered by the heart demon, to take the position that Ju Muzhi was responsible for the disaster in Haishi, and at the same time complained to the separated The mother and daughter of Henggong Yu offered assistance, first selling favors, and after Li Ying was dealt with, she slowly figured it out, looking for a way to eliminate the influence of demonic energy.

Then, Shen Xi added the last stroke of genius: "The most important thing is that we are also deeply harmed by the devil's energy..."

Hearing this, even though they are both from Liuyue City and everyone has the same interests, Yu Feng couldn't help but scold Shen Xi for being mean, shameless, and cruel. It's back...but it's so beautifully black!

"Why didn't you talk about this earlier, it's only now..." No matter what, she still can't make her too proud.

Shen Xi rolled her eyes: "The things that the priests of the giant gate can't remember, how can I have a better memory than the priests of the giant gate?"

The implication is that you didn't even think about it yourself, you still rely on me to remind you, don't laugh at these fifty steps.

"Hey, Chu Qi, look at the way Yu Feng walks..." After teasing, Shen Xi pointed to the back of the priest of the giant gate who was walking away, and continued to make up the knife, "Does it look like a swollen sunfish?"

Chu Qi turned his head to look at the direction of the wind—it happened to be downwind, and then looked at the distance that Yufeng had traveled. He was sure that the priest of the giant gate had heard what he said, so he nodded.

"It's more like that now."

——I know that you snakes and rats are not a good thing! ! !

The giant gate priest ran away in tears.Speaking of before, he really didn't know what a sunfish was, but after staying in the South China Sea for so many years... he ate a lot of it, have you ever seen it?
