Women's Second Battle

After a while, Shen Wangshan came with two small groups.

Along with him, apart from Bai Zhi and Pei Yinzhen, there was also Qiu Mingyuan with his arms folded and a proud expression on his face.

After the First Battle of Xifengtan, Qiu Mingyuan was punished and dismissed from his post, and now he is basically an idler.

Shen Wangshan lifted the curtain one step ahead, walked in Ruruhe Yiyi, and shouted joyfully to Long Jiaoyue: "Sister Long!"

Long Haoyue looked around at the two small groups, especially Ruru.But she sneaked a few glances like this, and she didn't feel that Ruru was any different from before.

Shen Wangshan seemed to be in a good mood, and the hostility and tiredness from the brows were swept away.Seeing the senior uncles coming, Bai Lu said hello to the senior uncles twice in a sweet voice, and then withdrew.

He sat on the chair beside Long Haoyue's bed, and asked her with concern: "Do you feel better?"

Bai Zhi followed Qiu Mingyuan closely, lifted the pearl curtain, and smiled at Long Jiaoyue when she entered.

Pei Yinzhen carried the medicine box on her back, Long Jiaoyue shook her head, smiled at Shen Wangshan and said, "It's okay, it's much better already. I think, in a few days, I can go to the field for activities."

Shen Wangshan said kindly: "You feel fine, but of course it depends on what Elder Pei has to say about your body."

Pei Yinzhen came over, put down the medicine box, gave her a thread to take her pulse, put her fingers on the red thread, and after a while, she slowly put away the red thread and said: "Well, it's already healed."

Long Haoyue nodded earnestly.Now that her body is back to normal, she will be able to bounce back to Qing Yaxuan on Xianshu Peak and wait for the Demon Lord to visit her~

She thought for a while, but still said: "Just now Bai Lu told me that she saw a demon clan on the Fuyun Pavilion."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.Shen Wangshan said cautiously: "The demon race? How dare you come to Changliu Holy Land? Come to Fuyun Pavilion?"

Qiu Mingyuan obviously didn't believe it, so he just said: "I'm afraid the child's eyes are dazzled, after all, this long flow is a place of cultivation, how can a little devil come and go whenever he wants?"

Hmph, what is a little devil, if Pinkeye hears what you Qiu Mingyuan said, he will have to fight you for three days and three nights to refute your arrogant words that look down on a generation of devils.

In fact, Long Haoyue didn't seem to tell the two World Honored Ones about the appearance of the Demon Lord. She just heard Bai Lu say that Ling Yunxiao wanted to eat her. She was a little worried about Bai Lu's safety and wanted the World Honored Ones to be more vigilant. It's okay for Yunxiao to come to Xianshu Peak, but if he goes to other places and hurts someone else (Bailu), then it's not good.

Even if several world-honored ones strengthened Changliu's demon-controlling enchantment, the demon-lord could still come in, it just took a little more effort.

Thinking about it, his Demon Lord's great plan for the world is still in its infancy, and now it has been so long, and it has not yet seen the embryonic form.This world is still the same, humans and demons are still at odds, and the family of cultivators and the descendants of the demon race are still fighting to the death.

Shen Wangshan thought for a moment, and saw that Long Haoyue didn't hesitate at all, and seemed to have the intention of going back to make arrangements to strengthen the enchantment of the demon.But he still continued to chat with Long Jiaoyue for a few words, said something about Longzong Longzong's concern for her in the water mirror, and finally asked her to take her medicine on time, and then left in a hurry.

Seeing Shen Wangshan leave, Pei Yinzhen carried the medicine box on his back and continued to brew medicine, Bai Zhi and Qiu Mingyuan also wanted to leave.Long Jiaoyue leaned against the bed and said to Qiu Mingyuan: "World Honored One, please stop. I have something to say to you."

Bai Zhi glanced at her, and retreated decisively.Qiu Mingyuan took a step back, seeing that there was no one around, he only frowned and said, "What is it that you have to talk about secretly?"

He thought for a moment, then hesitated and said: "You are a young lady of Longting who has not left the court, and I am not married, so I should avoid suspicion if I am alone and widowed in the same room."

Long Jiaoyue said slowly: "It's about Shen Shizun."

Qiu Mingyuan got stuck, and said neatly: "Say."

Long Jiaoyue concentrated her attention, and said only after deliberation: "Recently, do you feel that Shen Shizun is different from usual?"

When Qiu Mingyuan heard her say this, his face was extremely calm, and he only said, "Oh? Do you think there is any difference?"

Looking at him like this, Long Haoyue didn't have any troubles on her face, knowing that he must know something.She said softly: "Ru Ru killed a red-clothed banshee under the Xifeng Lake, do you know?"

Qiu Mingyuan looked sideways at her for a long time before saying, "Ruru? Do you know what Ruru's identity is?"

Qiu Mingyuan sighed, looked at Long Jiaoyue's eyes waiting for the next one, and said with a complicated expression: "We all know what you said. Under Xifeng Lake, he was eager to save you, so Ruru accidentally killed you." The red silk banshee. The magic of turning the puppet into the eye is a school of magic, but if it is used well, it is a method. In the whole world, as long as Wang Shan is second in the art of turning the puppet into the eye, no one will dare to use it. Called number one. As for why Ruru and Yiyi can’t kill.”

He only said vaguely: "Ruru and Yiyi are not made out of paper puppets, they used to be living people."

Long Jiaoyue was stunned suddenly, she used to be a living person, could it be that Shen Wangshan killed two children to create such a pair of peerless puppets?

Long Jiaoyue said dumbly: "No way? Could it be Shen Shizun..."

Looking at her expression, Qiu Mingyuan immediately said in a bad mood: "Don't think too much, Wang Shan is not that kind of person."

Looking at Long Haoyue's dubious expression, Qiu Mingyuan had no choice but to explain the whole story: "Ru Ruhe Yiyi is Wang Shan's younger brother and younger sister. Wang Shan was talented and intelligent when he was young, and Valerian worshiped Changliu alone. He only practiced one Puppet Art for the sake of his twin siblings who died of illness when they were young. Back then, the Puppet Art of Incarnation Eye was only a heretic way, and Wang Shan only practiced this one art of Puppet Art. Not less blamed."

When Long Haoyue heard this, she didn't know what it was like.She thought of Shen Wangshan, who was gentle and kind on weekdays. Many years ago, that gentle and thin young man was burdened with doubts from countless people and rejected by his peers. Young siblings.

Looking at her expression, Qiu Mingyuan only said: "At the beginning, Wangshan only practiced the puppet art of transforming eyes, which attracted the attention of countless fellow students, and some people even spread the word that he was a ghost. At that time, the patriarch of your Longting, that is, you Long Jiaoyue's grandfather looked favorably on him, and not only wanted to marry him, but also tried his best to ensure that he sat on the position of World Honored One. It's just that your grandfather has no daughter under his knees, so the marriage contract fell on your head. "

Qiu Mingyuan looked at her, and said softly: "Ruru and Yiyi are not ordinary puppets. As for why they can't kill and what are the consequences after killing, there is no precedent in this world where souls become puppets. Without an accurate answer, we have no way of knowing."

When Long Jiaoyue was told by Qiu Mingyuan, these unknown old events occupied her heart, and she couldn't think of what to say for a while.Qiu Mingyuan continued: "Wang Shan didn't say that Ruru killed the red silk banshee, because he was afraid of being publicized by those who cared. He told us in private that if Ruru killed Sheng, the consequences are unknown. If there is anything unusual about him, We want us to kill him, just in case."

Long Jiaoyue trembled, and only said: "Compared to Shen Shizun's life, why didn't you kill Ruru?"

She thought of the sweet smile of that little dumpling, and she struggled for a while.But compared to Shen Wangshan's life, Ruru is just a soul after all, if she can only save one side, she would rather save Shen Wangshan.

Qiu Mingyuan said with a cool smile: "You think I don't want to? If there is a chance..."

He only said half of what he said, and sighed again: "Half a month has passed, and there is nothing unusual when I look at the mountain. I only saw black lights in his eyes a few times last time, and he also told me that he noticed that from time to time he would Lost mind. Do you think this deity’s eyesight is not good? Do you think why Wang Shan is criticizing all kinds of affairs day and night? He is afraid of the unknowable consequences, so he can walk... ...can make the long-term things in order, and the elders under the sect have enough time to elect the next World Honored One."

Long Jiaoyue said sadly: "Then can we just watch now?"

Qiu Mingyuan said: "Perhaps if Ruru killed a living being, the consequences would not be so bad. Now that things have happened, I can only hope that this puppet with the soul enshrined in it will not have such serious consequences after violating the precepts and killing a living being."

After Qiu Mingyuan left, Long Jiaoyue sat on the bed alone.

Bai Lu came in and saw Long Haoyue sitting on the bed, black hair slipped from her forehead, covering half of her face, those bright and dark eyes, on that white and slender face, between the gaps of eyelashes Covered up, looking out the window at the trees covered with snow.

Bai Lu noticed that Long Jiaoyue seemed to be in a low mood, so she just walked over and sat obediently on the head of her bed without saying a word.

Although I don't know what Qiu Shizun said to the master when he was alone just now, but the master's expression seems to be really melancholy, so it's better for her not to disturb the master at this time.

Long Haoyue has been in this world for so long, and it is the first time that she feels the powerlessness of being a planner but unable to see through the answer in the middle of the game.

She can no longer regard the people here as insignificant people. They can empathize with their joy, anger, and sorrow, and Long Haoyue who is beside them.

Bai Lu sat on the head of the bed, quietly looking at Long Jiaoyue's silhouette.Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and those beautiful eyes shone with breathtaking scales in the light and shadow.

Long Jiaoyue turned her head and looked at Bai Lu.Xiao Bailu in front of her had a round face with a pair of big round almond eyes that were moist and sparkling.This was once the heroine of Marysu Bailianhua in her writing, but at this moment, she is Long Haoyue's apprentice, and she is a master trusted by Bai Lu.

Watching her turn around, Bai Lu got off the stool, stood up and leaned against the bed, and suddenly put her arms around Long Haoyue's neck: "What's wrong, master, is master unhappy?"

Being hugged by this small soft body, Long Haoyue hummed lightly, and only said: "Master is fine."

Bai Lu hugged her, and said seriously like a little adult: "If master is unhappy, tell Bai Lu. Bai Lu doesn't know how to laugh, and she won't tell others."

Long Haoyue was amused by her, and only relaxed her head, resting it on her little shoulder.

You little dumpling, you are always so considerate, cute and innocent. What you say is obviously childish, but you can always poke into the heart of the master. It really makes the master have nothing to do with you.

Long Haoyue lay in the elixir hall for a few days, and then accompanied Bai Lu down the mountain.

On the day when he left the Spiritual Medicine Peak, a large group of disciples waited outside the Hall of Floating Clouds.Long Jiaoyue was startled when she first saw her, and then she looked at the many faces inside. They were the disciples who watched her fight with Yuan Chongyang, as well as the disciples of Xianshu Peak.

As soon as Long Haoyue went out, the disciples of Xianshu Peak on both sides of the door were wearing white and blue school uniforms, and shouted in unison: "Master!"

Pei Yinzhen stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Look at your disciples, they are really worried about you. They came here early in the morning to wait."

Long Jiaoyue saw the enthusiastic eyes of those disciples when they saw her, and then she understood.In the past, when she became the head of Xianshu Peak, she relied on Longting's overwhelming power and Shen Wangshan's nepotism. This group of disciples were also the first-class fans of Senior Sister Bai Zhi, so they naturally refused to accept her.

And that day at the Changliu Baiyu stone playground, she not only showed her strong thunder decision as the daughter of Longting, but also blocked the light of Yuan Chongyang with the thunder in her hand at the critical moment (as a disciple of Changliu) The sword highlighted her character of caring for her disciples as the head of Changliu. I dare to feel that these disciples have recognized her from the bottom of their hearts since that battle. No wonder they all came up to welcome her.

Long Haoyue showed a reserved look as the head of the sect, waved lightly and said, "Yes."

As soon as she did this, she felt stupid.

Bai Lu followed Long Jiaoyue, only smiled sweetly at her and said, "Master, look, the senior sisters are very happy to see that Master is fine!"

Long Haoyue reached out and touched her head, you came late and only saw this scene of friendship from the same family, if you came earlier, you would have seen the master fighting with all the senior sisters in Xianshu Peak Great battle, the master used to be a showman in Xianshu Peak.

After returning to Xianshu Peak, Long Jiaoyue stood in the snow-covered ground, looking up at the palace lanterns lit along the way.

The path of the bamboo house was supported by her enchantment, and there was not a single grain of snow on the ground.Only on the bamboo branches on both sides, dots of palace lanterns are hung, the lanterns above are covered with snow, and the fluorite in the lanterns reflected is even more pale green.

Seeing Long Jiaoyue walking on the road, Bai Lu boldly stretched out her hand and held Long Jiaoyue's left hand that was wrapped in the sleeve and hung on both sides.

Her hands were small and soft, with round nails, as delicate as onion tips, and a little red.Long Jiaoyue saw that she was bold enough to hold her hand, and smiled: "Where is there an apprentice holding the hand of a master?"

She held Bai Lu's hand behind her back and clasped her fingers tightly, as if she was leading an ignorant child, leading her slowly on the path of the bamboo house: "Your hands are strangely cold, you should wear more clothes someday .”

Bai Lu's heart was beating in her chest for a while, she was secretly delighted and nervous, she just lowered her voice and said softly, "No way, master always feels that Bai Lu is cold, but Bai Lu still feels hot!"

Long Haoyue smiled, and said: "Don't talk too much, anyway, if you catch a cold and get typhoid fever, you need to drink medicine. It's up to you to decide whether to wear more clothes or take more medicine."

Bai Lu stuck out her tongue, wishing to hold Long Jiaoyue's hand with both hands, she just raised her head and said softly: "Hmph, I won't let Master succeed."

Long Haoyue shook her head and smiled disapprovingly, and looked up at the palace lantern hanging on the bamboo branch. In the overwhelming world of ice and snow, she suddenly said: "Master, remember, in a few days, it will be the end of the year, right?"

Bai Lu nodded.

Long Jiaoyue said softly: "Do you want to go home?"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, and then said for a while, "Bai Lu worshiped her master as her master, and she must complete her studies before returning to the palace. Besides, brothers and the others..."

She was a little dejected, and only said: "Bai Lu misses her father and mother very much, but if Bai Lu goes back, because of the bad relationship between Bai Lu and her brothers, the mother and concubine will have a headache."

Long Haoyue smiled: "In this way, I still miss home very much!"

Bai Lu was a little shy and stopped talking.Long Haoyue looked at her and said: "It's good for everyone to get together during the Chinese New Year. Xiao Bailu misses her father, queen and queen, and master also misses her family in Longting, so this year everyone must get together."

Bai Lu raised her head, and said to her in surprise, "Master, did you let Bai Lu spend the New Year's eve in Changliu? If we all get together, if we get together, father and queen cannot leave the palace!"

Long Jiaoyue patted her hair, only smiled and said: "You will know in a few days."
