Honghuang on the tip of the tongue

"Qingqing, take a rest, worry about being exhausted." Ji Yun hurriedly took the medicine from Danqing's hand, and helped her to sit beside her.

Danqing struggled a bit, but failed, so he had no choice but to let him go.

Ji Yun carefully lifted Meng Huai's upper body and fed him medicine, but the latter still looked dazed, but luckily he was cooperative.

After feeding the medicine, Ji Yun called fresh water to wipe Meng Huai's body. He was used to doing this these days, and his hands and feet were nimble and his movements were light and quick.

He gently turned Meng Huai over, startled: "Qingqing, come quickly!"

Danqing hurriedly walked to the bed, also stunned: "Father?"

There was a strange look in Meng Huai's always cloudy eyes, staring straight ahead.

The two turned their heads subconsciously, and Danqing's heart fell from the sky instantly like a roller coaster, and he lost his voice: "Mom?"

Wu Luo didn't know when he came, so he just stood there quietly, his lips were tightly pressed, and his face was expressionless.

Her sharp eyes flicked across Danqing's slightly swollen belly, and fell on Ji Yun again.

It was the first time for Ji Yun to see his mother-in-law with his own eyes, and he was already nervous, but when she saw him like this, he was even more at a loss.He wanted to call someone, but before he could say "mother", he was shocked by Wu Luo's gaze, and his heart trembled.

The prestige of Goddess Wuluo is well-deserved.

At this moment, Meng Huai uttered an indistinct syllable, listen carefully, it was a bit like "Wuluo".

Wu Luo trembled slightly, and a trace of disbelief crossed his face.

……

When Rong Ze and Tianzun arrived one step later, they found that Dan Qing and Ji Yun were guarding outside the crystal house, and instantly understood, and asked, "Goddess Wu Luo is inside?"

Danqing nodded silently. She recalled her mother's expression before, and her emotions had not fully recovered.

She hadn't seen her mother show such a fragile expression for a long time. Since the Qingyao Mountain Daughter Kingdom was established, her mother has become more and more iron-fisted and serious.

She was a little worried about whether Wu Luo could bear such a stimulus.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Ji Yun gently put his arms around his wife and comforted him softly.

As someone who has experienced it, he can clearly feel that Wu Luo still has affection for Meng Huai, and that love has already been deeply rooted in his bones, imprinted in the depths of his soul, and it will never disappear unless his body dies and his soul disappears.

***

Since the founding of Qingyaoshan Daughter Kingdom, it is the first time to announce its opening to the outside world.

The lord Wu Luo personally ordered that women who are willing to go out and make a living can choose to leave.

She said to all the citizens: "Remember, if you are wronged outside, you can come back at any time. The gate of Qingyao Mountain will always be open for you."

No one thought that the first one to sign up was the shy Biyu.

With Biyu as the "leading role", women who were still a little hesitant all signed up to go out one after another, and the number of applicants far exceeded expectations.

When Wu Luo heard about this, he was silent for a long time, and sighed softly: "I am the one who is sorry for them."

It turned out that she wholeheartedly thought that keeping the girls in the country of daughters would protect them from external harm. She thought it was good for them, but she didn't realize that this was another kind of harm to them.

At this time, Meng Huai had gradually recovered his sanity, and he comforted his lover whom he had not seen for many years: "It is not too late to correct it in time."

"Father, mother, here comes the medicine." Danqing came in with a smile in his hands holding the medicine soup.

"Why is it you? Where's that kid from the Ji family?" Wu Luo frowned slightly, "You're getting heavy now, how can he order you to take the medicine!"

Danqing hurriedly explained: "My husband boiled the medicine himself. He took care of it for most of the day. It was my daughter who asked him to rest first."

Wu Luo curled his lips, and muttered: "Isn't it just watching the fire for a long time, and I'm not too tired, it's really precious..."

Meng Huai knew that her lover still had emotions about the son-in-law "abducting" her daughter back then, so she quickly changed the subject: "By the way, where is Brother Yuanshi? I want to see him."

As expected, Wu Luo's attention was diverted: "What?"

Meng Huai: "I remembered who was the fellow Taoist who left Zixiao Palace with me."

The reason why Rong Ze and the others came to Qingyao Mountain was because they suspected that the disappearance of the Saintess Saint Bird was related to the tenth seal point.

After finding Danqing, they thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly found Meng Huai, and found the chaotic breath in his body from many years ago, which prolongs the appearance of the chaotic breath to ten thousand years ago!

They suspected that the Primal Chaos Qi that invaded Meng Huai at first was related to the mysterious tenth sealing point.

It's a pity that Meng Huai has been affected by chaos for a long time, and has lost his mind for so many years, and his memory has been seriously damaged.

He can't remember many things in the past clearly, he only vaguely remembers that when he left Zixiao Palace, there seemed to be a person by his side, but he couldn't remember the identity of the other person.

Now he is taking medicine and receiving treatment every day, his mind is gradually improving, and he vaguely recalls what happened back then.

When receiving the news, Rong Ze was looking after the Buddha jumping over the wall on the stove.The method of this dish is not simple, it took a lot of work just to process the various ingredients, that is to say, he has nothing to do these two days, so he has the time to make it.

Hearing this, Rong Ze didn't care about the uncooked Buddha jumping over the wall, and hurriedly ordered Fei Yi to keep an eye on the heat on the stove, and dragged Yuan Shi to come.

"Who is that person?" Rong Ze asked excitedly.

According to inference, Meng Huai probably encountered the chaos after leaving Zixiao Palace, but he no longer remembers where he has been, and only walks with people.

In the absence of other clues, who this fellow traveler is becomes the key.

Meng Huai said decisively: "Brother Changcheng, I remembered, it is Brother Changcheng!"

"The long vehicle of Mount Tengmu?" Yuan Shi asked.

Meng Huai nodded: "Yes, I remembered it all. After the teacher's lecture, I didn't understand a few questions, so I thought about staying after class and asking the teacher, so I delayed for a while. When I planned to leave When we were together, we happened to meet Brother Chang Cheng, who was also planning to leave, so we went together. But I really don’t remember what happened afterwards.”

Rong Ze turned to Yuan Shi: "Tianzun, what do you think?"

Yuan Shi pondered for a moment, and said: "Chang Cheng is a self-confident man, but he didn't show up when he preached the second and third times."

"Could it be that he is missing too?" Rong Ze's eyelids twitched, and he prayed in his heart that he had just found it so that he would not be broken again.

Wu Luo couldn't help interjecting: "Although Mr. Changcheng keeps a low profile, it seems that he has never heard of any accident."

"Low-key?" Rong Ze was taken aback, then glanced at Yuan Shi, "Didn't you say he was flamboyant?"

This has nothing to do with low-key, does it?

Yuanshi really didn't know the whereabouts of Changcheng later.

He only met this person when he was listening to sermons in Zixiao Palace, and he vaguely remembered that this person seemed to have a good appearance, and he liked to wear a red dress. He didn't like such an exaggerated temper, but the relationship between Tongtian and Changcheng was not bad.

Then again, with Tongtian's character, he can get along with anyone.

Wu Luo was afraid that they would suspect that he was lying, so he hurriedly said: "That's exactly the case. I heard that Lord Changcheng stays in the Mount Winu all day long, shutting himself up and refusing to see anyone."

"There is a problem, there is definitely a problem." Rong Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.

It is said that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change. People who show off suddenly change their temperament and become low-key and restrained. There must be something wrong with it.

He decided to go to Mount Humu to find out.

***

If Mount Geng is a mountain of crystals, then Mount Winmu is a mountain of jade. There are bluestones all over the foot of the mountain. It is said that after cutting, it is full of beautiful jade.

But there is a very strange thing about this mountain: there is no river on the whole mountain, and there is not even a well.

The nearest river is the Liusha River, two hundred miles away from Mount Winu.

It is said that water is the source of all things, moistens all things, and benefits the future.

Winmu Mountain is considered a famous mountain at any rate, otherwise the long vehicle formed by the spirit of nine virtues would not choose to live here.But there is no river in the whole mountain, which is incredible.

Could it be... related to the tenth seal point?

With doubts, Rong Ze and his party came to the foot of Mount Yunmu.

As a result, they were stopped before reaching the mountain gate.

The other party claims that this place is a private property, and no one is allowed to enter without the owner's permission.

Before Rong Ze could say anything, Wu Kong became anxious when he heard this, and shouted, "I'll be ordered by the Heavenly Court to investigate the case, who dares to stop me?"

In his dictionary, there is no "can or not", only "whether or not".

Hearing that it was someone from the Heavenly Court, the guard hesitated a little, and his tone was much softer than before, but he still didn't agree immediately, only saying that he would report back to the mountain god and let him decide.

"This long ride is so majestic that even saints and heaven are unwilling to give face." Fei Yi and Rong Ze whispered, "Could it be that this Lingmu Mountain is another Fajiu Palace?"

They had the same experience outside the Fajiu Palace, and later found out that it was Kuang Huafeiyi who took over Jingwei's territory.

Rong Ze didn't know, he just said, "Let's wait and see."

If it really happened again, he would have to be lucky, because it very likely meant that Mt. Winmu had something to do with the tenth seal point!

***

"Da da da."

The footsteps sounded from far to near, and it was particularly obvious in the empty underground space.

The surroundings were pitch black, only the oil lamp in the hands of the visitor shone faintly, but the light was too weak to bring any warmth and light, instead it made the surrounding environment even colder and more terrifying.

There is a strong smell of decay in the air, perhaps because the place has not been ventilated for a long time.

Compared with usual, this pace seemed a bit flustered, and soon, a faint voice came from the darkness: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Reporting to the Mountain God, Yuanshi Tianzun and the people from the Heavenly Court are outside, and they want to see you."

"Yuanshi? What is he doing here?"

"Little I don't know."

It took a while before a sigh came: "Since he is here, you should treat him well."

"But the mountain god, he is a saint after all, if you don't come forward in person..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a growl: "Come forward? How do you let me show up like this? Get lost!"

"Pa-ta." The oil lamp fell to the ground, and the only gleam of light flashed twice, and then went out quickly.

The man begged for mercy, and really shrunk his chubby body into a ball and "rolled" out.

In an instant, the underground space returned to its usual tranquility, except for the faint sound of panting, which indicated that there were still living people here.

***

Rong Ze saw a round man walking towards them from a distance, and his expression suddenly became indescribable.

He glanced at Yuan Shi, and whispered: "It's not that Chang Chengshen looks gorgeous..."

Yuan Shi frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "This is not a long vehicle."

The fat man claimed to be the steward of the long vehicle. The long vehicle was in retreat and it was inconvenient to come forward, so he was the one to receive the distinguished guests.

Another inconvenient interview, this routine seems a little familiar...

Rong Ze raised his brows slightly, and exchanged a glance with Yuan Shi.

Rong Ze asked with a smile: "I wonder when Lord Changcheng will be able to leave the customs?"

The fat butler wondered: "It's not good for the young one, maybe three to five years, maybe three to 50 years, or maybe three to five hundred years. I don't know what the prince is doing, but the young one can tell the master."

Hearing what he said, Rong Ze became more and more suspicious of ghosts, and said with a smirk: "The prince has nothing else to do anyway, since Mr. Changcheng is uncertain about leaving the customs, let's wait for him here."

"Ah?" The fat butler was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to let them retreat, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the opportunity to stay, just in case...

"Why, aren't you welcome?" Rong Ze raised his eyebrows.

"Of course you are welcome!" The butler shuddered, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said respectfully, "Everyone, please follow me."

The scenery of Lingmu Mountain is good. Although there is no river, the vegetation along the road is luxuriant and lush, which is completely different from the arid scene Rong Ze imagined.

Rong Ze couldn't help but ask: "Housekeeper, does it often rain on Mount Hunmu?"

The butler is now afraid that they will ask about the long ride, and wishing they would bring up other topics, he hurriedly said: "It's not very frequent, in a month, it will rain for at least two or three days, and at most eight or nine days."

"Oh." Rong Ze's expression remained unchanged, and he changed the subject again, "I heard that your mother mountain is rich in jade, and if you pick up a random stone in the mountain, there will be beautiful jade inside after you cut it, is this true?"

The steward saw that he was asking about local customs, his expression became more relaxed, and he said proudly: "Isn't that right? The jade produced in our Lingmu Mountain is plentiful and good. In the whole prehistoric world, there is no jade that can compare with it." Here. When the Heavenly Palace was being built, jade stones were specially transported from us to be used as the jade steps in front of the Lingxiao Palace."

Rong Ze vaguely remembered that there was indeed a large piece of jade stairs in front of Lingxiao Palace, but he didn't know that there was such a relationship with Lingmu Mountain.

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then the palace of Lord Changcheng must also be carved out of jade?"

The butler's facial muscles twisted momentarily, and he said with a dry smile, "Master... he doesn't live in the palace."

"Don't live in the palace? Where do you live?" Rong Ze's eyes widened.

The butler didn't answer his question directly, but said: "Master doesn't like living in a palace." Fortunately, Rong Ze didn't ask any more questions, the butler heaved a sigh of relief, quickened his pace, and brought them to a courtyard.

Although the courtyard in front of me is a certain distance from the "palace" that Rong Ze said, it is actually built with jade, and the walls are so clear that people can even be seen.

Rong Ze subconsciously used the wall as a mirror and tidied up his clothes.

"Deer Road!" the housekeeper shouted.

"Coming!" A clear and clear female voice pierced the sky, like a ring ringing, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.

Not long after, a little girl came running up and down.

She looked thirteen or fourteen years old or younger, with unfading baby fat on her cheeks, big and round eyes, with quick eyesight, reminiscent of some kind of small animal, such as a bunny, a deer or something.

"Lu Shu." Rong Ze listened to Yuan Shi.

He let out a soft "ah", and said in his heart that his intuition was really accurate.

Lu Shu, a strange animal that looks like a horse, has a white head with tiger stripes and a red tail. It has a docile temperament and its voice is as pleasant as singing.

The little girl was taken aback when she found out that strangers were coming, showing the usual shyness of a girl of this age, hiding behind the butler's round body, peeking at them.

"Tianzun, Your Highness, this is Lulu, who is responsible for serving everyone. If you have anything to do, just tell Lulu to do it." The butler smiled apologetically.

Turning around, he put on a serious expression and said to Lu Lu: "Lu Lu, this is the Yuanshi sage and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please say hello."

"Lu Lu has met the saint and His Highness." Lu Lu obediently responded, saluting in a serious manner.

Rong Ze didn't expect the housekeeper to let such a young girl serve them, so he couldn't bear it, so he took out a lollipop from his personal space and handed it to her.

Lu Lu blinked his big eyes, wanted to pick it up but didn't dare to pick it up, secretly watching the housekeeper's face.

Yuan Shi glanced at the butler with a smile that was not a smile, and the latter was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Lu Lu, this is a reward from His Royal Highness, please thank His Highness soon."

"You don't need to be too polite." Rong Ze said softly.

The butler withdrew, and Lu Lu stayed behind, staring at Rong Ze eagerly with two round eyes.

For such a young girl, of course Rong Ze would not really let her serve him, so he coaxed her a few words in a gentle voice and asked her to play beside her.

When he turned around, he found that Yuan Shi was looking at him with a strange look.

Him: "?" What's the matter?

Yuan Shi looked away as if nothing had happened: "... nothing."

The author has something to say: "I saw Yuan Shi blushed, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out, arguing: 'I'm not jealous... the matter of a saint, can it be considered jealous?' A series of difficult words, Something like "never jealous" and "emotional stability" caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the yard was filled with a happy atmosphere."
