moonlit night

As a master who is still working, Yue Qingchen naturally didn't intend to discuss with his disciples what he decided. He just informed the three of them at the next afternoon exchange meeting, and then asked them to go back and prepare their bags for departure.

In view of the fact that Luo Qingluan had already told them about Uncle Ning going to see the lantern with Master with great enthusiasm, on the way back, Xiao Ziyuan had been secretly thinking about whether he wanted to have more gentle teachers and wives soon. It's not about merging with Juechen Peak.He was so engrossed in thinking that he inadvertently uttered the thoughts in his heart: "Can our peak be renamed Juexuan Peak in the future?"

After realizing what he had accidentally read, Xiao Ziyuan didn't pay much attention to it, but was a little surprised why Jun Changye, who was traveling with him, didn't respond. In order to avoid embarrassment, he asked, "Chang Ye, what do you think?"

Jun Changye had just kicked away a small stone blocking his feet in the snow. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Ziyuan. It was strangely calm, as if he was suppressing some turbulent emotions. Mao, just happened to be in front of their respective doors at this time, he said "you go slowly, I will take a step first", and quickly slipped away.

It wasn't until he sneaked back to his own house that Xiao Ziyuan realized it belatedly. The junior brother has always been dragged as if someone owed him two hundred and fifty. Why is it that he reacted like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw this kid today?

Jun Changye, who was secretly slandered, entered the house calmly, closed the door calmly, and began to tidy up the classics, elixirs, and instruments that he usually used in daily life. Huang Yan, who suddenly appeared, broke it with a sentence:

"Well, old man, I also see that you may soon have more mistresses."

Jun Changye, who suffered multiple blows in a row today, turned his head suddenly, and when he made a move, it was a fierce sword move wrapped in black air, which was quickly dodged by Huang Yan, and the one with flowers in it was placed neatly at the door. The plum vase suffered disaster, being chopped into pieces by the real white sword light.

Jun Changye's face twitched, and he hurried over to carefully put away the shattered bottle, and then transformed the wood-type spiritual power in his hand to restore it, and carefully restored the bottle to its original shape.

Although Huang Yan knew that the bottle was distributed to them by Yue Qingchen, seeing his painful appearance, he couldn't help curling his lips, and said in disgust: "Young man, in fact, sometimes I don't know what you're thinking when I'm old. What, why do you feel that you are closer to your master than to your own mother?"

This voice is old and decayed, but it carries a sense of calmness that has gone through vicissitudes. At this moment, Huang Yan's sharp eyes that seem to see through everything are tightly locked on Jun Changye, as if to force him to give an answer right now. Come.

Jun Changye looked at him without showing any timidity, and instead of answering directly, he used this conversation to say: "Senior, when are you going to tell me about my mother?"

"Your mother?" Huang Yan squinted his eyes, and the momentum around him slowly eased, and he said carelessly: "I won't tell you before the time comes, besides, aren't you a smart kid, you don't want to be behind my back all day long." If you know what is going on, guess it yourself. Just one thing, although your mother left you a lot of ghosts and demons, she is not on the same side as those demons and goblins. I would like to advise you, don’t Go to the crooked path. That's all right, pack up and practice quickly, I'm going back to Yuli to sleep, old man."

"Good day, senior," Jun Changye said, "But can I give you some advice?"

"Say."

"Don't mention the word "Master" in the future."

"So you are actually still strongly xenophobic, so that you are jealous of anyone who might become your mistress?"

"...When I didn't say it, you should go back to sleep quickly."

When the twilight of the next day came together, four streams of fleeting sword scars descended from the fairy mountain on the sea. To the people of Yunzhou Town outside Kunwu, they looked like a gleam of light in the misty haze of the sky. , disappeared in a flash.

Yunya took a piece of grass in her mouth, and leaned against a tall and straight pine and cypress on Fuyao Peak expressionlessly, her long and straight eyebrows slanted up into the depths of her temples, and the corners of her lips that always seemed to be mocking were pursed at this moment Tightly, his face was clouded, as if he might lose his temper at any moment.

It wasn't until the receding light in the sky could no longer be seen that he straightened up, frowned and said, "Could it be that the mountain rain is about to come?"

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the disciple Feng Manlou who was dressed in bright red clothes beside him didn't intend to open his mouth to make trouble, but after hearing what he said, he put on an attitude of humbly asking for advice, and said: "Master Your Majesty, do you have a premonition that something is going to happen?"

Yunya turned her head to look at him, and frowned even tighter: "No, I just don't think you got a good name, so don't wander around when you have nothing to do. By the way, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate earlier?"

Fengmanlou usually treats people with an extremely arrogant appearance, but in front of Yun Shengjun who is obviously higher in rank, he has always been extremely respectful, and hurriedly said: "As the master expected, there are indeed changes in the devil world, disciples A few days ago, it was found that the enchantment of the eternal forbidden area of ​​the Demon Palace was unstable. It seems that this Demon Lord finally couldn't hold back, and wanted to forcibly break the seal left on the Fengshen Sword by the Lord Lin'an back then, but the seal was backlashed , was seriously injured."

"Presumably at this very moment, everyone in the demon clan is trying their best to find rare treasures from heaven and earth for their demon master to heal his wounds, right? Hmph, there is no way." Yunya sneered, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, "Still Is there any?"

"The disciple also found out that the demons and ghosts have indeed planted pawns and eyeliners in our Kunwu," Feng Manlou said solemnly, with a stern look in his eyes, "As long as the master says a word, they can be wiped out."

"Okay," Yunya patted him on the shoulder, "You did a great job, I will draw up a list of hidden lines for me later, but there is no rush to close the net for a while, you continue to follow up, and make sure to close the net before the Xiaoxiang Fairy meeting. Dive in, and don't let anyone slip through the net."

"Yes, disciple is going now. Oh, by the way, Master, there is one more thing. The Langxuan Pavilion just sent an invitation card. Here, it seems that the master of the pavilion, Mr. Tang, invited you to the Imperial Capital to attend the Yuanxi banquet."

When Feng Manlou said this, his face was full of integrity, but Yunya suddenly changed his face after hearing this. He snatched back the gaudy invitation card, just about to tear it up, but suddenly thought of it. What, I stopped my hands, thought about it, put it away, and said perfunctorily: "Got it. You can go to work."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky that was dyed red by the setting sun like blood, as if he had made up his mind, he closed his eyes slightly, and disappeared in place the next moment.

It's night, the capital of the emperor is Shanghuajing.

The streets and alleys that have just experienced the festive New Year still have red shards of firecrackers left by urchins jumping around, and the streets and bridges that have always been full of tourists are all unwilling to be lonely. The lanterns are coming.

Moonlight Dengshan is full of imperial capital, Xiangche Baogai pass.

It is a scene that cannot be seen in the daytime, it is like a dream, as if it is only based on the lights that are lit up one by one all over the street.

The large and small lanterns and the large group of gorgeous fireworks that bloom from time to time in the night sky can compare with the bright and bright moon in the sky.

It's not the dark dust and bright moon, it was Yuan Ye at that time.

At this time, there are thousands of gates here like daytime, and passers-by are laughing and wandering. The bridges and bridges are crowded with people who want to put lotus lanterns in the river to pray. There are children selling Lantern Festival along the way running happily for this rare hot business. Running up and down, and those boudoir ladies who never dare to show their heads casually on weekdays also let go of their hands and feet at this night, rented a small lotus boat with a black awning and went along the river with a good female companion or someone they loved. And then, along the way, those who set off lights, and those who enjoy the scenery, occasionally ask the oncoming boatman to buy a few live fish and a pot of small wine, and roast them together in the lighted fire, eating and drinking, so that they are wanton and happy.

But no matter how happy you are, it can't be as happy as watching the eternal night come by side by side with the person in your heart.

It's a pity that Jun Changye and the three of them can't enjoy this kind of happiness now.

"Another one!" Luo Qingluan lightly flicked his whip on the ground, breaking up a black shadow on the ground stretching its neck to reach the shadow of a person, and complained to Jun Changye who had just pierced through a black mist with a wooden sword He said: "There are three No.30s tonight, and that's probably all. You said that there are only so many ghosts mingling in people's shadows and trying to take advantage of the chaos?"

Before Jun Changye could answer, Xiao Ziyuan, who was on the side, said in a strange way: "How can there be so many people on the street who are taking advantage of them? I mean aunt, do you think your question is stupid?"

Luo Qingluan glared at him, then said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble for nothing."

These two people have been in the same situation since the little yellow book incident that night, and no one will let the other. They usually roll their eyes to heaven when they say a word. Rely on Jun Changye in the middle to adjust the atmosphere.

Little did he know that this guy was the culprit, and he was never good at adjusting the atmosphere.

"Hey little girl, what kind of tricks are you doing?" At this moment, a lantern riddle stall owner next to him looked at the long whip in Luo Qingluan's hand in surprise, "Can this whip glow?"

"Ah, no, oh no, yes, uncle, it's just juggling." Luo Qingluan ignored Xiao Ziyuan, rolled his eyes, and said slyly to the stall owner, "You saw my tricks, so let us guess ten for free. How about a lantern riddle?"

"Okay," the stall owner saw that she had a beautiful appearance and a sweet mouth, so there was no reason not to agree with her on such a beautiful day, so he hurriedly let the three of them into the crowd of people who were guessing lantern riddles , he saw that the three of them were all very handsome, and said again: "Which family is the daughter of, is this girl coming out to enjoy the lantern with my brother?"

"Brother?" Luo Qingluan grinned with dimples and laughed, "Uncle, which one of them looks like my brother? No, we are just running around the rivers and lakes to juggle. I beg Master to bring us to play together."

"Oh? What about your master?"

"Master, ha, you must be with the beauty. How can you have time to talk to us, right Changye?" Luo Qingluan turned around with a smile, wanting Jun Changye to help her, but found behind him the handsome man who always seemed absent-minded tonight The young man was looking at the crowd of lotus lanterns at Heshui Bridge without blinking, and he didn't even hear her calling him.

"Long night? Junior brother? Junior brother! Come back to your senses! After guessing the lantern riddles, the senior sister will buy you candy later. Do you want to eat?"

"He doesn't eat," Xiao Ziyuan interjected shyly, "I, I, I, I eat."

"You, you, eat your head. I will give it to my junior brother, but I didn't say I will give it to you, senior brother."

"Don't let me down, I'll guess it myself, and after I guess it, I'll buy candied haws and eat it. Hmph, I'm more familiar with the imperial capital than you!"

The two behind him began to quarrel one after another, but Jun Changye was too lazy to listen or reason. A cultivator has excellent eyesight. At his current state, he can already see the bridge in the distance clearly through the bustling crowd in front of him. Every lotus lantern in the river.

It is also natural to see the pair of independent figures by the water, the woman in green dress and blue skirt is piously putting a unique lotus lantern into the river, while the man in white clothes beside her seems still indifferent, But he was carefully helping her to separate from the crowded crowd, protecting her from falling into the river.

Looking at this scene, Jun Changye felt a little sad for some reason. He suddenly lowered his head, then raised his legs and walked towards the riverside bridge. Regardless of the rare unanimous "Where are you going?" Quick, it was submerged in the crowd like waves in a short while.

The east wind leaves thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain.BMW engraved cars on the road.The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

After Ning Yuanmei put the lights on by the river, she and Yue Qingchen walked slowly along the flickering riverside, bypassing the crowd. Jianshui's eyes were full of smiles, and he said warmly to Yue Qingchen: "Thank you, brother, tonight...for willing to come here with me."

Yue Qingchen smiled lightly when he heard the words: "Nonsense, I should thank you for giving me the opportunity to enjoy such a wonderful scene."

Ning Yuanmei glanced at him, and suddenly said without thinking: "He also said the same thing."

he?

"Is it true that good friends will become more and more alike after being together for a long time?" Ning Yuanmei looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and suddenly stretched out her hand towards the sky, as if she wanted to touch something and never There was a bit of infatuation in the eyes of the things that might be obtained, and some sad things flashed past, "Brother, do you think I am very stupid, even now, I still can't let it go."

Yue Qingchen didn't make a sound, and Ning Yuanmei didn't care, she put her hands back into her sleeves, and then seemed to be caught in some memories, and said to herself: "When I was still at home, every year on the New Year's Eve, my father and mother would bring me and The younger sister came to the imperial capital and the waterside to put up some lanterns, hoping that the family will be harmonious and everything goes well in the new year. Later, I saw him for the first time, and it was here that I almost fell To the river, heh, he was just a boy at that time, about the same age as Changye, but his smile always makes people feel like a spring breeze. Since he saved me that night, I knew that I might not be able to escape in this life .It's a pity that later, good luck tricks people. I will never forgive him, but I will never forget him."

Speaking of this, Ning Yuanmei couldn't help sniffling, at this moment a hand reached out and stroked her hair gently.She is no longer a child, but she still unconsciously lusted after the warmth of that palm, pressed back the crystal tears in her eyes, and smiled at Yue Qingchen.

"If something can be put down so easily, it won't be worthy of the unforgettable memories of the past," Yue Qingchen had already vaguely guessed who she was. He wanted to lift the veil to confirm, but he was unwilling to reveal it again. Her scar just said: "Amei, you were born in Anyang, Kunwu. If you can't let go of the matter between you and him, you can't let it go. After all, it happened decades ago. You will never see each other again in this life." He, he doesn't know that you are still alive, and he will never have a chance to hurt you again."

"Yeah," Ning Yuanmei murmured, "It was all decades ago."

Yue Qingchen sighed, and was about to say something else, but Ning Yuanmei said slowly but firmly: "Brother, I want to be alone for a while, and then I will leave for Kunwu. You and I will leave here, wait Brother has arrived in Xiaoxiang, please help me to see if he is doing well, just take a look, don't tell me."

After finishing speaking, she bowed deeply to Yue Qingchen, and then hurried away in a gesture of almost fleeing.

Yue Qingchen looked at the back of her going away, and felt that some things that he couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear now. He wanted to find a place to straighten out his thoughts, but suddenly he heard someone beside him complaining impatiently. : "Boy, rushing to reincarnate, what are you squeezing?"

Yue Qingchen looked back, but found that not far behind him, Jun Changye had just squeezed out of the crowd, panting for breath, and at the same time, a pair of dark eyes were looking at him without blinking.

Those pupils were shining brightly, reflecting the bright lights around and the bright stars in the sky. When staring at Yue Qingchen intently, it was as if he was looking at the most precious treasure to him.

Yue Qingchen was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, but seeing his wrinkled and wrinkled clothes, he felt a little funny in his heart, so he hurriedly pulled him to his side, and calmed him down first. He took off his clothes, and said with a stern face on purpose: "You are right, why are you in such a hurry? Are you really in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Jun Changye blushed at what he said, and the inexplicable impulse in his heart just now disappeared. He dawdled for a while, and finally told a not-so-sophisticated lie: "Master, Senior Sister Qingluan wants to eat Candy... candied haws, but we don't have any copper coins on us, so she asked me to hurry up and ask you what to do."

"Heh," Yue Qingchen chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "Silly boy, there are methods everywhere, what are candied gourds, let's go and find them, and I will show you the most famous fried Lantern Festival at the Lantern Festival in the imperial capital. "

After finishing speaking, he looked up and saw Luo Qingluan and Xiao Ziyuan were also huddled in the crowd, walking towards this side at a slow speed, so he sent a sentence "follow me" to them through the air, and then he picked a place with few people and slowed down. Slowly go.

Jun Changye looked at the small half of his handsome face exposed outside the mask, his heart moved unconsciously, and then carefully grabbed the corner of his sleeve, and followed him gently.
