It was almost dusk when we arrived at Xunyang City from Jianyang. If we go to Lushan Mountain at this time, I am afraid that we will have to walk the mountain road at night.Chen Ziqi decided to rest in Xunyang for the night and go up the mountain again tomorrow morning.

Wu Bujian went to book an inn, while Chen Ziqi dragged Dan Yi around the city.

Xunyang City is still so prosperous, and in the teahouse and wine shop, the storyteller has already started telling new stories. "Heroes from the south of the Yangtze River besieged the Suxin sect", "Jiyang sect found it difficult to get married with a wife", "Monk Hua drinks and eats meat but does not recite Buddhist scriptures", "The legend of Yandang Mountain heroes"...

Chen Ziqi liked to listen to people's stories since he was a child, but when he saw a storyteller, he couldn't move, so he decided to go up and listen to it.

"However, this Extreme Yang Sect only accepts male disciples, all women are slaves, and every family only hopes to have boys but not girls. In the entire sect, except for the head wife, all men..." The storyteller held a folding fan, It's serious.

In the private seat on the second floor, Chen Ziqi kowtowed at the melon seeds, took out a grain, twirled it on his fingertips, brought it to Dan Yi's mouth and shook it, "Come on, I'll give you a bite."

Dan Yi, who had turned into a little red bird, always liked to chirp, and he had never seen Dan Yi in human form scream like this before.

Dan Yi was a little helpless, her relatives were always so enthusiastic that people couldn't help it, she lowered her eyes and looked left and right from the corner of her eye, but Diao Lie and Tu Buxian were still standing aside, so she had to pick up the folding fan prepared by the teahouse on the table to cover them slightly, In the past, he kissed Chen Ziqi on the lips with a "chirp".

Chenzi Qi blinked blankly, laughed out loud, and fed the melon seeds into Dan Yi's mouth, "Aren't you the one who doesn't eat the bamboo?"

"In ancient times, there was nothing to eat, only the bamboo fruit was delicious. Now that there are many foods to eat, you can taste them all." Dan Yi bit the melon seeds, and secretly licked Chen Ziqi's fingertips.

He can eat most of the things that ordinary people eat, but he doesn't like it.Snacks like melon seeds, nuts and cherries are another matter.

When Chen Ziqi was licked on his fingertips, he felt a burst of numbness spread from his fingertips to his tailbone, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"...Three more drums, the moon was dark and the wind was high, Lu Chenghu turned over and entered the room of the junior brother. The junior brother was taken aback and asked what was the matter. Lu Chenghu said, the sect's yang flourishes and yin declines, and there is no way to marry a wife , the new juniors have to let the seniors try something new..."

"Woo—" the listeners in the audience grinned and booed.

On the contrary, the storyteller worked even harder, picked up the three-stringed string and played the tune, and began to play and sing: "Don't be ashamed, brother, it's good to marry Longyang today, alas, it's good to marry Longyang together."

Ten fingers are intertwined with green silk, shyly picking up the belt, oh, what a clothes, picking up the belt.

This is a very unique storytelling method on Xunyang's side. After talking for a while, he took out the stringed bullets and sang, and then continued talking.The tune is simple and catchy.

Chen Ziqi listened with gusto, and tapped his fingers on the table while listening, feeling very comfortable.Dan Yi looked at the clapping and applauding people downstairs, all of them had swords pinned to their waists, only one table was different from the others, seeing the look of resentment on their faces, presumably they must be Qizong people.

The relationship between Qizong and Jianmeng is getting worse and worse nowadays, Dan Yi lowered her eyes, stole some melon seeds that Chenzi Qi Gang ate, and said to Diao Lie: "Go and find out, who are those people?" .”

Diao Lie took the order and ordered one of his men to go on an errand.Not long after, a young man in black sat down with the people at the table and started talking.

"Why are you in a daze?" Chen Ziqi poked Dan Yi's ribs.

"It's time to go back." Dan Yi pulled Chen Ziqi up.

As the sun set, lights were lit on both sides of the street, and Chen Ziqi walked up and down, babbling and singing a little song, "Two fingers intertwined, alas, it's good to form a Longyang together!"

People on the street looked sideways at such a handsome young man, pulling another handsome young man, interlocking their fingers, singing unsavory lyrics and music.

"The world is going down." The old wine seller shook his head and sighed.

The swordsman selling wine looked at the backs of the two young men, seemed to be a little dazed, and then smiled, "In this world, where is there any wind, if you have wine today, get drunk today."

"Even in troubled times, you can't lose your strength of character." The old man snorted coldly, and returned the gourd full of wine to the swordsman.

"You are in a safe corner of Xunyang City, how do you know what the chaos is like outside." The swordsman raised his head, took a sip of wine, and walked away leisurely.

Chen Ziqi stopped and looked back, the restaurant was empty, only the old man selling wine was waving a straw rope to repel flies boredly.

"What's wrong?" Dan Yi followed his gaze.

"It's nothing, I just heard a somewhat familiar voice, maybe I heard it wrong," Chen Ziqi scratched his head, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a shop selling plum cakes, grinned his teeth, walked up to Dan Yi and continued to sing nondescriptly in that ditty tune, " Don’t be ashamed, brother, brother wants to eat plum cake.”

Dan Yi flicked Chen Ziqi's forehead dumbfoundedly, and dragged him to buy plum cake.

The subordinates who went to inquire about the news came back soon. Those people belonged to the Jiyang Sect. They came to watch the succession of the new head of the Suxin Sect. They passed by Xunyang.

Since the death of Master Wuyin, Luo Hongfeng, the lord of the Qi Sect, has been presiding over the overall situation in the Suxin Sect.Zhao Surou succeeded to the throne, and the suzerain of Qizong directly notified all factions to come to watch the ceremony.

"It seems that Luo Hongfeng is very satisfied with Zhao Surou." Chen Ziqi rubbed his chin. When Su Xinzong was besieged, Luo Hongfeng didn't speak. Now that Master Wuyin is too dead, he came to preside over the overall situation.

"Luo Hongfeng wanted Zhao Hetian's suicide note, but Wuyin never gave it to him. Of course, he hoped that Wuyin would die soon." Dan Yi said flatly.He checked the classics of Guiyun Palace, and no one mentioned the suicide note in the early years. There was only a record 300 years ago, saying that Zhao Hetian seemed to have a suicide note hidden in Suxinzong.

Since there is a record in Guiyun Palace, Luo Hongfeng, as the suzerain of the Qi Sect, must know something.In recent years, Suxinzong's frequent actions have attracted Luo Hongfeng's attention. He has always suspected that this matter has something to do with the suicide note.

"You said, if you practice martial arts to the extreme, can you really become a fairy?" Chen Ziqi lay on the bed in the inn, playing with Dan Yi's fingers.

"Perhaps." Dan Yi thought for a while.He has never seen anyone who cultivated to become an immortal. The longest-lived phoenix among the ancestors of the Dan family only lived for four hundred years, and finally turned into a handful of dead bones.

"Aren't your Dan family immortals?" Chen Ziqi moved his head to Dan Yi's chest, tilting his head to look at him.

"No." Dan Yi stroked the hairy head and helped him remove the hair tie.They are descendants of gods, and they are still different from real gods. Strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as spirits.Born as a bird, it can take form as a human.

The same goes for the birds in Guiyun Palace.

Early the next morning, Chen Ziqi took Wu Buxian and Tu Buxian to Lushan Mountain.Diao Lie, who was already familiar with the Lushan faction, could not be masked by the guards. Diao Lie, who was easily recognized, was left in Xunyang to meet him.Dan Yi turned into a little red bird, nestled into Chenzi Qi's arms and continued to sleep.

In the early morning, Lushan Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the thick water vapor brought by the waterfall is very pleasant. It is refreshing to take a deep breath.

On the mountain road, several Lushan disciples were holding buckets and brushes, struggling to brush something on the stones.Chen Ziqi rode over to greet them.

"Little Martial Uncle." Several second-generation disciples recognized him, put down the things in their hands and bowed to salute.

"What are you doing?" Chen Ziqi looked up at the smooth stone wall, there were many ink marks on it, because of being splashed with water, the handwriting was blurred and the content could not be read.

"We are cleaning the rocks," one of them said angrily. "Recently, there are always people who are scribbling on the rock walls in the middle of the night, and the master ordered us to clean them up."

Chen Ziqi nodded, patted his nephew on the shoulder sympathetically, and gave them the plum cake he bought in Xunyang.Then continue up the mountain, and sure enough, I saw inscriptions on other stones.

[Stars in Nanshan and clouds in Beishan, looking for immortals in Sandie Springs. 】

"This word looks familiar." Chen Ziqi stared at the half line of the poem for a while.

"Chirp." Dan Yi came out to take a look, the writing was vigorous, with the lingering literati style and swordsman's tenderness, isn't it the handwriting of Luo Yunsheng, the long-winded teacher in Chunxi Palace!

"You see it too?" Chen Ziqi lowered his head and kissed the little red bird's head.

After Emperor Tiande ascended the throne, Luo Yunsheng resigned, saying that he would continue to travel and write poems.This man has a hobby, that is, wherever he goes and sees beautiful scenery, he writes a poem.Mr. Hailou's calligraphy is very valuable among literati and refined scholars, but it's a pity that these rough people who practice swords in the Lushan School don't know how to appreciate it.

Climbing up the mountain and walking to the gate of the Lushan School, I saw Amu squatting on the bluestone steps with an unhappy expression on his face.Seeing Chen Ziqi approaching, his eyes lit up immediately, and he jumped up like a puppy seeing his master, wagging his tail and pounced on him.

"Chirp!" Seeing the little fat man bumping into him like a giant siege log, the little red bird immediately let out a sharp warning sound.

Wu Bujian quickly stopped him, and was driven around by the force of the impact, "My lord is still injured, I can't stand such a bump from you!"

Hearing this, Amu stopped his steps immediately and obediently stood where he was, "Brother, why did you come here!"

"Where's mother?" Chen Ziqi raised his hand, ruffling Amu's neatly combed hair.

"Mother is in the yard," Amu recalled something, and pulled his face down again, "Second Brother is also here."

Second child?Chen Ziqi's heart skipped a beat, and he followed Amu to meet Chang'e.Along the way, I heard Amu talk about how annoying his second brother was.

After he was sent to Lushan Mountain, he found that the second emperor brother was also here, and he didn't want to talk to him, he just kept begging his uncle to save his mother.The second emperor brother stopped him a lot, saying that he would wait until the day Suxinzong was besieged before he could do anything.The head of Mount Lushan obeyed his advice, suppressing his uncle to go, delaying so many days to save people, and in the end he took all the credit for himself.

Thinking of the Jiang Liangcai he saw in Suxin Zongshu Pavilion that day, Chen Ziqi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the second child also knew something about Zhao Hetian's suicide note.He urged Danyi to attack the Suxin sect, because he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to search for the remnants of "Xiao Shao Jiucheng", but Danyi was not fooled, so he came to instruct the Lushan sect.

Jiang Liangcai thought that Chen Ziqi had also received the same task, and he was afraid that he would steal the credit, so he did it.The shield was blocked by Chenzi Qi Shun, and the two powerful old nuns were thrown...

Stepping into the small courtyard where Chang'e lived temporarily, I heard a burst of laughter.The second child, Chen Zijian, sat imposingly at the stone table in the courtyard, chatting with Chang'e. Behind him stood Jiang Liangcai, who should have been beaten to death by the old nun!

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Qi Qi: Why are you looking for "Xiao Shao Jiucheng", isn't it just a tune?

Second child: Maybe because it sounds good

Qi Qi: I don’t think so, it’s not as good as “Eighteen Touches”

Second child: Xiao Shao can attract phoenixes, but can eighteen touch it? (╰_╯)#

Qi Qi: Yes, if you don’t believe me, I will sing

Niao Gong: Chirp chirp chirp, here comes the phoenix, let me touch it (⊙v⊙)

Second child: You are cheating!
