Zhu He

Dong Qinghe left Pianshiju one moment ago, and Chang Jiaci, who was sleeping soundly on the couch the next moment, opened his eyes. He looked at his empty hands, then at the amulet on his chest, and slowly sat up.

The Tianluo knife, the network stone whip, and the red tasseled jade have been in Wanyao Hall for almost two months. At first, they were guarded by others, but it has been a long time since I saw Chang Jiaci thinking about it. A little careless, so Chang Jiaci was caught off guard, and when he found out that no one was there.

And Chang Jiaci, who took these things, rushed out of Qinghe Gate as quickly as lightning, and after nearly an hour of puffing up, he came to a wide place. Under the bright sun, it is like a mass of raging red fires, and the majesty brings out a thick ghostly charm.

This place is the sea of ​​yellow reeds and flames, a barren but extremely fierce place in the cultivation world. It is rumored that there are countless monsters dormant in the sea. Every time ordinary monks pass here, they will almost die, so there are few people on weekdays.However, there are still some mysterious and strange sects living here, and there is an island named Zhushi among them.

Chang Jiaci soared into the sky, passed through the dreaded sea of ​​flames within a hundred steps, and landed on the island on a familiar path. At the same time, the stone whip in his sleeve had slipped to the palm of his hand, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. , it seems that it is difficult for anyone to escape from Chang Jiaci's grasp at this moment.

It's just that the killing ring didn't work out in the end, because Chang Jiaci traveled all the way without meeting anyone.

He has lived in Zhusi Island for a few years, and he is quite familiar with the terrain and conditions here. Normally, the island is very lively at this time, especially in the martial arts arena where many disciples will compete in the early morning. There are waiters going back and forth, why are there no voices at this moment?

Chang Jiaci went around the church again, but he did not see a single person. Not only that, the tables and chairs in the room were overturned, the decorations were messy, and there were signs of fighting everywhere, but he did not see any corpses.

Someone attacked Bamboo Death Island?Who is the one?Those so-called decent people?Qinghe Gate?

Chang Jiaci thought about it one by one, but he didn't hear Dong Qinghe mention it this morning. It shouldn't be him, but Jiuning Palace?But Chang Jiaci didn't think that Sisi was dead, Hua Jiandong would be so kind to take the trouble to avenge her, and Mie Yao Migui's morals were no lower than those of Jiu Ning Palace, even if there were a few casualties, it shouldn't be like It's like being swept away.

Could it be Yanmen?But the people of Zhushi Island work for them, why does Yanmen want to do them the other way around?

Chang Jiaci thought for a while but couldn't find the answer, but although he didn't have an answer, he knew that no matter what happened on Zhushi Island, it had nothing to do with Yanmen. If he wanted to find out something, he had to start from there.

Holding the Tianluo Saber at his waist, Chang Jiaci's eyes flashed fiercely, and he turned around and jumped out of Zhushi Island, flying to the north of the cultivation world.

Although Dong Qinghe had repeatedly warned him that this place was dangerous, Chang Jiaci had nothing to worry about now, relying on the memory of a visit with Shen Yuanxiu at that time, he successfully found the entrance of Yanmen.However, after several fights before, Youzhen also knew that Qinghemen and others were trying to deal with him. Compared with the loose and casual situation he had seen before, Yanmen obviously sent more guards, and the miasma was lingering outside the gate. They all felt overwhelmed.

While looking into the distance, Chang Jiaci slowly condensed the breath in his abdomen, and suddenly a red light flashed in his ears, and he disappeared in place!

Moxiu in Yanmen only felt a cold wind swaying in front of his eyes, but he didn't see anything when he went to look for it. He only thought that he was too nervous and had hallucinations.

Although there is Hongyingyu who can enter the gate, but Yanmen is so big, if Chang Jiaci wants to check it carefully, it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack. In the end, he wandered around inside for nearly an hour and spent a lot of cultivation. Still nothing was found, Chang Jiaci knew that he would go on like this, either he was exhausted from searching himself, or he was finally found out and let You Zhen catch the turtle in the urn. He was planning to find a demon cultivator to torture him, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come to his door .

From a distance, Chang Jiaci actually saw Youzhen.

The man was still wearing a mask, followed by three or four attendants, and was walking across a stone bridge.

There was a flash in Chang Jiaci's eyes, and he thought it was a god-sent opportunity, and immediately followed him.He originally planned to attack Youzhen when he returned to his room or when he was in a place where there were few people, but Youzhen got off the bridge and didn't continue going there, but turned a corner and came to the lake.

There are many trees planted along the shore, just like a dense forest, You Zhen asked the attendants to wait at the edge of the forest, and walked in by herself.

Chang Jiaci was about to follow, but You Zhen stopped suddenly, and turned around as if aware of it.

Chang Jiaci was startled.

For a moment, he really thought that Youzhen had found him, because the eyes under the mask were so sharp, staring at him impartially.

But soon Chang Jiaci knew that he was worrying too much, You Zhen just turned his head and then moved forward again.

The red tasseled jade bestowed by Chang Jia was even tricked by ghost messengers and Dong Qinghe at that time, how could a mere You Zhen recognize this out-of-world thing?Chang Jiaci felt a little more at ease and wanted to bully him, but when he looked up, he found that the shadow of the poisonous bird disappeared in front of him.

Where did you go? !

Chang Jiaci was inexplicable, he was clearly in front of him just now.

It took so much effort to finally come here, Chang Jiaci has no reason to give up easily, knowing that the road ahead is dangerous, but the pent-up resentment made him shake off all worries, and still insist on moving forward.

Chang Jiaci began to search in the small forest, once... twice... From the outside, the forest was only about one or two acres in size, but Chang Jiaci was in a daze and couldn't get out of it. Not only could he not find where Youzhen went, he couldn't even find the exit.

Obviously, a maze was set up here, and it was a very strong maze. Chang Jiaci had never been good at these things, and it was even more difficult for him to break the maze.

Chang Jiaci thought, took away the barrier of red tassel jade, gritted his teeth and grasped the handle of Tianluo Dao, since he couldn't break through this formation, he would burn the Yanmen himself, at worst, he would perish with the poisonous bird...

Seeing that Chang Jiaci's pupils flashed red and was about to smash the jar, suddenly a burst of light footsteps came from a distance.Chang Jiaci came back to his senses, and hurriedly dodged behind a tree, but he didn't expect that the terrain in this formation was intertwined and chaotic, and the sound of footsteps came from behind. Chang Jiaci ran forward, but bumped into the person head-on together.

Chang Jiaci was surprised.

The other party was also taken aback.

The man was not dressed in Yanmen's disciple's uniform, but more like a servant serving others. Chang Jiaci thought that this time he must be exposed, but when the Tianluo knife was drawn out to put it on the opponent's neck, the man relaxed first. He took a deep breath, and showed a helpless expression to Chang Jiaci.

"Oh, son...how did you come out?"

Chang Jiaci is inexplicable.

But the other party quickly stepped forward to help him up, and patted his robe nervously: "The door master told you to stay in the house, look at you, you secretly changed your clothes and ran out, fortunately, the slave found out." Now, if something goes wrong, what should we do if the head of the sect blames me?"

Chang Jiaci's hand on the handle of the knife tightened, tightened again, and then slowly loosened.

"...I just want to come out and take a look." Chang Jiaci said in a low voice.

The little servant sighed, and gently supported Chang Jiaci and walked towards the forest: "I understand, I also know that you are bored living in the garden every day, and the owner of the door is also distressed. No one has brought you any trouble." You must like good things from the world of few people."

After the two of them spoke a few words, the boy actually led Chang Jiaci out of the forest, but Chang Jiaci was shocked by the sight in front of him.

Most of the temples in Yanmen are high-rise buildings with black tiles and gray walls. Although they are magnificent from a distance, they are deeply cold and cramped, without any popularity.However, the place in front of me is completely different. Zhulou, blue tiles, blue bricks and white steps, lush vegetation surrounds the surroundings, and colorful butterflies are flying in the fragrant fragrance. This is not Yanmen, it is simply a courtyard of a wealthy family.

And as the boy walked deeper and deeper, Chang Jiaci's face became paler and paler. This corridor, this rockery, this small pavilion... step by step, every place...why were they so familiar to him until he came to Standing outside the courtyard gate in front of a tall pear tree, Chang Jiaci couldn't take another step, and his eyes were completely red.

He recognizes this place... Even if he forgets everything, he will not forget this place.Because of how many midnight dreams, how many haunted dreams, he always hoped that he would stand in this yard when he opened his eyes, and all of that was just a nightmare he had when he took a nap while doing his homework... …

"Young master?" Seeing why he didn't leave, the boy turned around suspiciously.

Chang Jiaci returned to his senses in a daze, and asked blankly: "Do I... live here?"

The boy nodded: "Yes, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell and confused?"

"Yes, yes... I was confused, I was confused..." Chang Jiaci wiped his face heavily.

Seeing that his expression was not right, the boy came up to help him, but Chang Jiaci avoided him: "No, no need... I will go in and walk by myself..."

"Oh, then I'll go and get the young master some medicine. You can't run around like last time. It's so dangerous outside. If you spend too much time in the labyrinth, the sect master will feel sorry for you."

The little servant walked quickly to the side while chattering, he was not at all like a disciple of Yanmen, he didn't even have the slightest devilish energy in him, he was more like a mortal...

Chang Jiaci became more and more dazed as he thought about it, and he stared at the pear tree in front of the door for a while before slowly walking to the door and raising his hand to push it.

The door was not closed, it opened quietly, and Ren Chang Jiaci walked in.

There are not many things inside the door, but everything is exquisite and exquisite, and everything is... exactly the same, the table, the chair, the screen, the soft couch, even the sapphire vases on the Eight Treasures Stand are perfectly placed.

On the case table, there is a pair of newly written words, even the ink is not completely dry:

Although the life is old, the food and clothing are sufficient, and I just want to find life and love.

Worry all over the body, worry all the time, always be at the mercy of others physically and mentally, if the way of heaven can keep it as it is.

The body is also free; the heart is also free.

Chang Jiaci stared at the delicate point vertically, and his slack mind gathered up little by little. He couldn't help covering the paper with trembling hands, rubbing it stiffly back and forth...

If the nearby dead objects can still be biased by the long-term memory, but this, this cannot be fooled.

Even if he misunderstood everything, he still wouldn't fail to recognize his own handwriting!

This is why... This is why...

Just when Chang Jiaci was a little confused between reality and dream, a burst of crisp laughter suddenly sounded in the distance, piercing Chang Jiaci's swaying heart like a sharp sword.

"You Zhen, why are you back again? I told you not to be nervous, I will stay in the room obediently..."

Halfway through the conversation, the other party seemed to have noticed the unexpected guest who suddenly appeared in the room, and stopped there for a moment.

Chang Jiaci didn't move, and the other party didn't even move. The two stood there for a while, one behind the other, and finally the person behind them came up first.

Although Chang Jiaci had already sensed something, when he really raised his eyes to meet the face in front of him, he still couldn't help showing a horrified expression.

A face exactly like myself...

No, not only the face, but also the body shape, manners, gait, and smile are not bad at all, as if there is a mirror in front of you.

The smile, yes, is different from Chang Jiaci's expression as if struck by lightning, the person who walked up to him bent his mouth at him after a moment of surprise, and burst into a smile that seemed sad and joyful.

He smiled softly with the same voice: "Jiaci, you are finally here."
