Shangbieyun heaved a sigh of relief when he reached the corner where he could see his own Zhuangzi, and finally slowed down.

Pulling Cong Yin to tell him carefully: "Although it's fine for the time being, we can't take it lightly. Our master and servant are outstanding, and it's unforgettable to think about it. Don't go to Guanlan Street during this time."

Cong Yin nodded solemnly.

Shangbieyun's house is located in the western suburbs of the outer city, which is also very remote, but the advantage is that it is secluded away from the city wall, and the land price is quite low. A path of pebbles was carved out of the forest leading to the entrance hall. On both sides of the path, flower stands were set up and white roses were planted.In the past few years, the pear trees have been dwarfed, but the white roses are in full bloom. On weekdays, the new flowers are in full bloom, and the winding path leads to secluded places, which is interesting, but the heavy rain has broken all the flower branches, and the path is full of dead flowers. It is unavoidable to watch. It's kind of bleak.

Shangbie stood in front of the path for a long time, like a cloud pitying flowers, and walked into the pear forest with his clothes lifted.Concentrate on walking, keep your eyes on your feet, take every step carefully, and consider every step you take.

The child walked in the middle, after all, he was a child at heart, after such a while, his mood seemed to have improved a lot, now he was following behind Shang Bieyun, stepping on the places he stepped on, walking step by step, with his eyes shining slightly Cong Yin said to Cong Yin: "I heard before that martial arts masters in the world often set up strange armors where they stay. Anyone who makes a wrong step will fall into a trap of confusion and death. Only by following the rules can you see the mountain gate through the fog. Mr. Shang is really brilliant."

Cong Yin walked last, and followed the steps of the two of them conscientiously, without even raising his head: "He thinks the petals are so thick that the bottom is rotten, and there may be bugs. As for Walking like this," she pointed to the top of her head, "the place where the pear trees are luxuriant and the rain falls less, and the ground is a little dry, and the mud will not get wet when you step on it."

The child was stunned, and after a while he said, "Then why are you following this way?"

"Whoever's shoes and socks are dirty, I'm the one who washes them! Look at your feet!" Cong Yin said confidently.

The three of them twisted around for a long time before they walked out of the pear forest. The first thing the child saw were two wing-shaped eaves, and looking down was a stone green gate. Peace of mind" word.The handwriting board is more than enough, but the charm is not enough. It is like a beginner's handwriting, and I don't know why it is specially expanded to be used on the plaque.

Shang Bieyun went to the entrance hall and grabbed his robe to see if there were any mud spots on it. Cong Yin went up and took out a small copper key from his pocket, and unlocked the door—there was no concierge in such a big house. .As soon as the door was opened, there were some scraps of paper piled up between the gaps, and they scattered with a "wow". The child took a quick look, and saw that they seemed to be some kind of name cards, some of which were gilded and sprinkled with brocade. The person who handed the name post is obviously either rich or expensive.

Cong Yin glanced down and asked Shang Bieyun: "I guess they were stuffed in a few days before it rained, so I gathered them up and took a look?"

Shang Bieyun stepped on the pile of famous posts and entered the door: "No need, I'm too lazy to read. Anyway, it's already two years later, so it's useless to read."

Cong Yin nodded, opened the door a little wider, and greeted the child: "Come in."

Shang Bieyun had already flung his sleeves and walked to the back of the screen wall, where there was no one there, but his voice was domineering and handed over: "First lift him inside and rub him up and down eight times, until you can see a human figure, and then soak in my mirror." Pool!"

The child blushed again from shouting at him, looked down at himself, and obediently followed Cong Yin into the door.After passing the screen wall, there are ordinary strange rocks and green trees. As soon as you enter the front, you will see a large lobby. From the outside of the house, at least it looks like a large courtyard with several entrances, so why did I see these group rooms.Cong Yin still didn't stop, and led him through the right wing to the back. He secretly took a deep breath and widened his eyes.

There is sparkling light in front of my eyes, but it is a big pond with two squares. There are no lotus and duckweeds, and there is no bridge. There is only a pool of water, just like this.

Cong Yin walked to the pool while he was stunned, took off his shoes and socks in front of him, and soaked his feet in the water. He was different from other young masters since he was a child. I have never used a maid before, so I only glanced at the jade-tooth-like toes, then turned my head away in a hurry, and heard her say: "Don't worry about what he said, this pool is deep, and it's still open. Running water, you won’t get dirty even if you go down ten more times. You go down first, and I’ll bring soap powder and pancreas later, and I’ll give you a good wash.”

He seemed to have heard something from the Arabian Nights: "Are you taking a bath here? Not in the house?"

"It's so troublesome to wash in the house, and you have to carry the water over and over again. Who do you think carries the water? It's not me." Cong Yin stood up again and walked towards him, stretching his hand towards his lapel: "First put Clothes off."

He was so frightened that his voice changed, and he grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly: "No...no need! Just go and get the soap powder and soap and put them here, I...I will do it myself."

Cong Yin gave him a strange look, but luckily he didn't reach out to tug on his skirt again, and walked towards the room.

He was relieved to see Cong Yin enter the room with his own eyes. After hesitating for a while, he was worried that Cong Yin would suddenly come back, so he simply closed his eyes, folded Shangbieyun's cloak and put it aside, and only took off his shirt and heels. Shoes and socks, leaning on the wall of the pool and poking into the water a little bit.

It had just rained, and the weather was still very cold. As soon as his skin touched the surface of the water, there was a biting chill. He gritted his teeth, and submerged himself in the water bit by bit. His body was shaking like chaff in the pool water. It took a while before he slowed down a little, put his hands on the edge of the pool, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.

"You're so strange." A voice suddenly came from above his head, and he was so frightened that he slipped his hand and fell into the water, choking hard.

Cong Yin put down the soap powder and soap in his hand, and squatted by the pool to watch him cough: "You were shivering all the way back, I thought you were afraid, I told you to come in to soak and you were in the water again Huddled into a ball, could it be...Are you afraid of the cold?"

He coughed and struggled to touch the edge of the pool and stick it firmly, for fear that Cong Yin would see his body, wondering if it would be cold?Come down and try if it's not cold.

But he heard Cong Yin yelling as if he had discovered something new and strange: "Look, sir, he is afraid of the cold and is choking on water."

His heart moved slightly, he wiped his face in the water and looked up, seeing Shangbieyun coming at some time, leaning against the door and looking this way.He has already changed all his clothes, wearing a blue robe, except for the crown, with a ribbon of the same color dangling from his mouth, and he is tying up his hair perfectly.Two arms slipped out from the big sleeves, which were set off by the color of the big robe, like jade objects.

The clothes are neither fish nor fowl, but there is a kind of chic and coquettish, and it is hard for him to change his clothes from head to toe so quickly.

Shang Bieyun's hair was tied up, and he leaned against the door, and asked lazily, "I didn't ask on the way when I came here, what's your name?"

His face flushed slightly from coughing, and he calmed down and said: "I used to have a name, I don't need to count it. My mother told me before sending me out that I will be called Cheng Jiao from now on, the pride of the proud son of heaven."

"Arrogance?" Shang Bieyun sneered, stepped forward and looked down at him: "How old are you this year?"

Cheng Jiao raised his head. After the rain stopped, there was a little sunshine. Shang Bieyun was standing by the pool, his face hidden in the backlight, making it hard to see his expression clearly.

"Fourteen," he said.

"Oh? He is taller than a normal 14-year-old boy. It seems that he eats well on weekdays." Shang Bieyun squatted down, with the same smile on his face when he first saw him, and the mole under his eyes was slightly When he moved, Cheng Jiao was stunned, but he heard him ask: "Then you have never been submerged in water for 14 years?"

After asking, he suddenly pulled Cheng Jiao's hand that was holding onto the edge of the pool, and then ruthlessly pushed him into the water!

Cheng Jiao was caught off guard and was directly thrown into the deep water. He choked hard, coughed painfully, and coughed up a large cloud of air bubbles. He fumbled and kicked around, but couldn't touch anything. , only the water from all directions continued to press on him, he was completely panicked, he used his hands and feet to struggle towards the direction of the light above his head, just wanting to take a breath.

At this time, he heard a dull splash in the water, and he managed to open his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. Before he could see anything, a pair of hands took his arm from behind.

Cheng Jiao was overjoyed, and tightly grasped those hands. The skin and tentacles of those hands were very smooth, but cold, and the skeleton was very small.Cheng Jiao turned his head, and Cong Yin pressed against his back tightly, his hair was floating like seaweed in the water, and the color of his eyes became lighter in the water. Seeing him looking over, he smiled very rarely.

Cheng Jiao didn't have time to react, those hands suddenly exerted strength, tightly bound his arms, and actually dragged him to a deeper bottom of the water!

Cheng Jiao's eyes were about to burst, and the speed of taking him down was so fast for some reason. In just a moment, the skylight above his head that seemed to be within reach just now disappeared. He grasped those hands tightly, and with the strength that burst out from nowhere, he pulled them fiercely, and actually tore those hands off his body!

He didn't have time to rejoice, he didn't even dare to look back, he paddled his hands and feet to float upwards, but suddenly his waist felt cold, he looked down, and saw a snake with scales, no, what kind of tail was climbing Wrap his waist around his chest and slowly tighten it.

Cheng Jiao froze completely, he didn't even have the strength to move a finger, the long tail was pulled back, Cheng Jiao arched his body and exhaled his last breath, sinking into the boundless darkness completely.
