White-haired Demon Lord and Senior Brother

◎Galaxy Starry Night◎

In the afternoon, after enjoying a delicious meal, without sitting quietly waiting for digestion, and without taking a leisurely nap for a while, Su Zhongming and Gong He strolled to the huge imperial garden in the palace one after the other.

After the Pingjing Palace was built, Su Zhongming moved here, and most of the palace names in Jinghongdu Inner Palace continued to be used, including the four parts of the Imperial Garden - Bukun Court, Zishan Garden, Chunji Garden, and Chenghong Garden. .

In this imperial garden, Chenghong Garden is a pentagram outline, surrounded by an artificial lake winding into a pentagram shape, which was dubbed "Shanzhai Wulinguo" by Shangyuan Hexiang with a sneer.

At this time, the eunuch said that A Lin Tianduo was meditating on the Sifang Observation Tower in the center of Chenghong Garden, so Su Zhongming brought Gonghe to Chenghong Garden, stepped into the Sifang Observation Tower, lowered the black silk umbrella, stepped on the Walk up the wooden steps to the second floor.

There are no walls on all sides of the upper floor, only guardrails and pillars, and the roof supported by the pillars. There are window sills for viewing the scenery on all sides, mats are laid in the center, and several coffee tables and soft cushions are placed. The surroundings of the building are also covered with colorful flowers and trees, and the colorful branches and leaves will also reflect on the smooth floor with the sunlight, which is very gorgeous like a mirror.

When he stepped onto the floor of the second floor, Su Zhongming saw A Lin Tianduo facing the right side of the stairs and meditating with his eyes closed, so he quietly walked forward, took off his shoes, stepped on the mat, and sat down in front of the coffee table. After taking off his shoes, he came to the coffee table and sat down.

Su Zhongming opened his lips and said calmly: "A Lin, Elder Yingqing sent Gong He over to see your progress."

His eyes, which had been closed for a long time, opened slowly after finishing this sentence. A Lin Tianduo's expression was neither happy nor angry nor sad nor resentful. Clasped hands and exchanged greetings: "I met Senior Brother Gong."

Gong He was overjoyed, but embarrassed: "Where is it! You are a princess, so you don't need to use such polite etiquette to me!"

Taking advantage of this golden opportunity, Su Zhongming said to Gonghe: "Gonghe, since you met Ah Lin, why don't you help her with tutoring and correct her deficiencies?"

Gong He was very happy, so he said to A Lintian: "Little sister, the brother has just had a full meal, and he is full of energy, why don't you compete with the brother?"

A Lin Tianduo immediately handed over his hands and agreed very readily: "Thank you, senior brother, for your enlightenment!"

Gong He got up immediately, ran out, stepped on the guardrail, and flew to the branch closest to the building, A Lin Tianduo also flew over, the two of them were barefoot, while stepping on the branch lightly, fists and feet intersected, hitting from the left Go to the right, and then hit another window scene from the right, and attack each other with wind, fire, water and other illusions.

Although he is a novice disciple, A Lin Tianduo has been a martial arts physique since he was a child, and it is very easy to master the secrets of martial arts. In the past ten years, he has practiced martial arts with Yi Yeqing, Yan Ying and others, and he is not far behind Ji Zi , After fighting with Gong He for a while, the two finally tied, and made the last move on the high branch.

Su Zhongming had been leaning against the guardrail to watch, and when he saw that the two of them had finished fighting, he smiled and clapped his hands.

Gong He stopped first, and flew back to the building. A Lin Tianduo followed and flew back. The two wiped the sweat from their foreheads and sat down. A Lin Tianduo poured tea and drank it generously. He poured a cup for Gonghe, and his friendship seemed to be deep.

Su Zhongming was still leaning on the guardrail, taking advantage of the beautiful scenery and the sky for a while, and when the afternoon passed, Gong He opened the illusion mirror, and Su Zhongming and him returned to Shui Lingzhu in Qingluan City through the passage of the illusion mirror. Go to Xiangxuanzhu Presbyterian Pavilion.

At this time, the twilight was shrouded, the frost-white evening wheel was slowly rising, and the mist surrounding the Xiangxuan building was also stained with a little mist. Su Zhongming had no time to play with the mist under his feet, and only followed the waiter into the Elder's Pavilion. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Yingqing sitting and drinking tea, as if he had already been sitting here waiting.

Su Zhongming sat down, and asked without taking a sip of tea: "Elder Yingqing asked me here, why?"

Yingqing put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table beside him, and picked up a neatly folded piece of paper from the coffee table, without saying a word, the paper immediately changed into a paper crane under his fingertips, and patted It flew out with wings, flew straight into Su Zhongming's hand, and turned back to the original paper.

Su Zhongming was curious, and unfolded the paper to have a look. On the paper was a drawing of a long sword, which made Su Zhongming even more curious, and raised his eyes to Yingqing: "Elder, is this?"

Yingqing replied: "Ever since my beloved apprentice returned to Qingluan City, I have never had a magic weapon in my hands. I have to worry about running around for Qingluan City like this."

Su Zhongming understood after listening for a while: "You mean...Wuji?"

Yingqing said: "This old man wants to ask someone to forge this magical weapon, and I will thank the city master to hand it over to my stubborn lover."

Su Zhongming responded generously: "I understand."

Not much gossip, when the matter was over, Su Zhongming exited the Elder's Pavilion, and before leaving, he gently closed the door, turned around and just walked down the steps, when he looked up, he happened to see Huang Yan coming towards him.

After the two looked at each other, they stopped. Huang Yan just turned his face away coldly, not wanting to see him.

Su Zhongming said hello: "You also have something to come to the Elder's Pavilion?"

Huang Yan didn't want to talk to him, just lowered his eyes to him and cupped his hands coldly, then walked past him, opened the door, walked into the house, closed the door again, and left the waiter who led the way waiting outside the door.

Yingqing hadn't gone out from the inner gate, and hadn't gone up to the second floor, when she looked up and saw Huang Yan coming in: "Disciple?"

Huang Yan stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Master, there are new investigations in Jinling Pavilion." After saying that, he personally handed over the document in his hand to Yingqing.

Yingqing went over the contents of the document carefully, and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that the city lord has left the Elder's Pavilion. We can only send someone to inform the city lord about this..."

Huang Yan pursed his lips, not intending to tell about the encounter with Su Zhongming before he came in, nor did he want to spend his energy chasing Su Zhongming back, after a few moments of silence, he only said to Yingqing: "Master, if we track down Timo's whereabouts and interrogate him, maybe We can find a clue."

Yingqing replied: "This person used to be under the command of Mufeng Society, how much do you know about him?"

Huang Yan raised one corner of his lips, confidently: "I know his preferences and the places he frequents, and I will send people to search those places tomorrow."

Yingqing simply said: "Let's do as you said." After saying that, he stood up, took the documents and walked towards the inner door. He just opened the inner door, and suddenly looked back slightly: "Teacher, although the investigation is important , but you still have to live, don’t tire yourself out.”

Huang Yan agreed: "Yes, I will listen to what Master has to say." Watching Yingqing leave from the inner gate, he raised the corners of his lips, showed a joyful smile, and then quickly left the Elder's Pavilion.

After dusk, he came to Ziyanzhai, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of fighting, followed the sound, and saw Zhu Yanfeng and Xiling Changyue holding up long sticks to compete, he came at the right time, this competition just arrived best situation.Changyue turned towards Zhu Yanfeng's horizontal stick, and even the two long braids hanging in front of her danced like a second long stick.

While receiving the move, Zhu Yanfeng stepped back again and again, and then deftly blocked the fierce blow of the long stick. Changyue quickly returned the long stick to continue the attack. Zhu Yanfeng still received the move calmly, without noticing Huang Yan's figure at all .

Gong He and He Wukui stood together, with a tray on top of their heads, the teapot and cups were all in the tray, and the tray, teapot and cups were all motionless, as stable as Mount Tai.The two of them immediately turned their heads when they heard the faint sound of 跫, and just as Gong He was about to call out 'Senior Brother Yan', He Wukui covered his mouth quickly with his eyes and hands.

Huang Yan didn't say a word, just stood by and watched, after a cup of tea, Chang Yue lost one move and lost to Zhu Yanfeng, and the competition ended.Zhu Yanfeng wiped some beads of sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, turned around and saw Huang Yan, and couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Gong He noticed Zhu Yanfeng's eyes, and immediately told him: "Senior Brother Yan has already come, but Xiao Kui just covered my mouth and didn't let me speak."

He Wukui explained calmly: "If you said that just now, senior brother will definitely be distracted."

Changyue took the long stick thrown lightly by Zhu Yanfeng, turned around and threw it to He Wukui. After He Wukui caught the double stick with both hands at the same time, he brought it into the armory.

Changyue called out: "Gonghe!"

Gong He hurriedly stepped forward obediently, turned the tray above his head towards it, Changyue picked up the teapot and cup, poured a cup of tea, drank it all, and quenched his thirst.

Zhu Yanfeng walked up to Huang Yan, Huang Yan opened his lips teasingly: "You compete with senior sister, are you not afraid that her braids will hit you?"

Zhu Yanfeng replied calmly: "I will be careful."

Huang Yan asked again: "Senior Sister is free to come back today, is there something for the Guardian?"

Zhu Yanfeng replied: "The Dharma Guardian Pagoda is on duty, so I will bring someone to clean it by the way."

Huang Yan said: "It seems that I haven't been to that place for a long time."

He knew very well in his heart that if he was not a Dharma protector, or even no longer a Dharma protector, even if Xiang Xuanzhu allowed him to enter the Dharma protector, he could only go to the altar in the Dharma protector's front yard, and entering the backyard without authorization, or even entering the Dharma protector's pagoda, was a felony.

The entire underground of Qingluan City is covered with important protective haganism machines, and the source of controlling these machines is hidden inside the Guardian Pagoda.The giant tower looks majestic and majestic on the outside, but the inside is heavy with machinery, making subtle operating sounds every moment.

At the beginning of the establishment of Qingluan City, all the Yanshu masters created a maze array controlled by the four major protectors, that is, an enchantment.Now there are not enough four guardians, the four-sided spiritual drum on the top of the guardian tower cannot be lit, and the maze array cannot be activated, which creates a defect in protection.

Huang Yan knew very well that his renunciation at the beginning caused the flames of the four spirit drums to go out, which led to the disappearance of the maze array and the collapse of part of the Yanshu machinery, which gave the rebels an opportunity to take advantage of it. He even cut off the rear for the rebels, but He didn't regret it at all, and his deep affection for Zhu Yanfeng made him not regret it even today.

He Wukui returned to the courtyard, looked at his seniors, and suggested: "Since everyone is here, why not have dinner together?"

Huang Yan didn't seem to be interested, and replied calmly: "It's not the master's banquet."

He Wukui smiled: "It seems that Brother Yan has other plans. I heard that the starry sky tonight is beautiful."

Huang Yan didn't want to talk to him anymore, and turned to look at Zhu Yanfeng: "I've already retired, how about you?"

Zhu Yanfeng replied: "I have nothing to do."

Without saying anything, Huang Yan immediately grabbed Zhu Yanfeng's wrist and dragged him to the door of Ziyan Zhai. This action already showed his intention.

Changyue had just finished drinking tea, when she looked around, she found that Huang Yan and Zhu Yanfeng were nowhere to be seen, she felt helpless: "I originally brought a gift for him, but I left in such a hurry, I had to delay..."

As night fell and slowly turned into the night, Huang Yan and Zhu Yanfeng had already bathed and changed their clothes. They came to a high-rise building together and stood in front of the guardrail on the high place, watching the Yingying Galaxy gradually appear in the dark night sky and move slowly with the night wind. From time to time, two bright meteors streak across the night sky and pass through the Milky Way.

Huang Yan opened his lips: "It's rare to see such a starry sky."

Zhu Yanfeng answered: "It was one or two just now, and now there are more and more, there are five."

Huang Yan added: "There are six of them, and one of them sneaked past there."

Zhu Yanfeng pointed at one of the flying meteors, approached Huang Yan, and said, "Yan'er, look at that one! It's blinking while running."

Huang Yan said with a smile: "I saw it! He ran a step slower than other meteors, so he must be red-eyed."

Zhu Yanfeng replied: "Even the shooting stars will have a race between the tortoise and the hare."

Huang Yan reminded: "Eight."

Zhu Yanfeng replied: "If a few more come out together, I won't be able to count."

Huang Yan suddenly said: "I really want to run to Xinghe and catch meteors one by one."

Zhu Yanfeng replied with a smile: "There will be a day when we can reach Xinghe, after we all become immortals!"

Huang Yan smiled and hoped: "I hope that one day, we will still be inseparable as we are now."

Zhu Yanfeng nodded, and replied with a 'hmm', he circled Huang Yan's waist generously with one hand, and hugged his waist tightly.Before half an hour had passed, the last shooting star ushered in, and Xinghe also unknowingly moved away for a certain distance. The two left the high-rise observation deck hand in hand, walked through the spacious path in front of the building, and walked back.

Countless figures suddenly appeared on the path, all of them had just walked down from the tall buildings, passing by the two of them, Zhu Yanfeng couldn't help turning his head and said to Huang Yan: "It's a bit of a festive atmosphere."

Huang Yan opened his lips: "No one will miss such a beautiful astrology."

As we walked, a strange scene appeared not far ahead. Many bamboo tubes of different heights were bundled together in two or three. Yellow, purple, green, blue, and red colorful candles were placed in the bamboo tubes, which illuminated colorful fire lights. Yellow umbrellas and purple umbrellas Green umbrellas, blue umbrellas, and red umbrellas are all stretched out, and placed on the ground to cover some of these bamboo tube lights, illuminate the umbrella cover, and complement each other with other bamboo tube lights to form a beautiful scene in the world.

Zhu Yanfeng said: "There is a lamp ahead, it seems to be a sacrificial lamp set by the priest."

Huang Yan smiled: "The priesthood can't sit still."

The two walked slowly through the passage between the bamboo lamp and the oil-paper umbrella. Huang Yan looked at these things at his feet while walking. The bamboo lamp illuminated his face even more glamorous than before, and made his figure glow like a fairy , Zhu Yanfeng just looked at him quietly, not thinking about the beautiful scenery under his feet.

"Going back now?"

"Go back and open a bottle of fine grape wine to drink."

"Should I go to Ziyanzhai? Changyue brought a gift and said it was for you."

"Ziyanzhai doesn't have fine wine."

"Tell Gonghe to get an altar."

"Okay!"

In the daytime three days later, Yang Xinsu was still chopping firewood diligently in the backyard of Jiushanpu, unaware that Wuyan had left the palace, left Pingjing, borrowed a horse, and rode to a city.

Walking through the busy long street, turning a corner into a small alley, there are even fewer people passing by, only one or two strangers, and they all disappeared in the blink of an eye, only Wu Yan is still walking forward along the stone slab under his feet Walk.

When he reached the door of a quiet house, Wu Yan stopped and raised his hand to gently knock on the door. After a while, the closed door was opened for him. There was no one from the threshold to the yard, as if no one lived in it. Just when Wu Yan was slightly in a daze, a deep voice suddenly came from the house.

"Who are you? Report your name!"

Although he only heard voices, but no one was seen, and he didn't know who was asking the question, Wu Yan only wanted to come here to inquire about the news, so he politely replied: "Yanguidao Murong Wuyan."

The voice came from the house again: "You are the one who wants to inquire about Tiansun Qingming's whereabouts? Come in!"

Wu Yan immediately stepped forward, crossed the threshold, and walked into the courtyard. The door behind him also closed suddenly at that moment, just as vigorously as it had just been opened. Wu Yan heard the sound, turned his head and only glanced at the door, and then continued He walked towards the house in the courtyard without looking back.

Immediately, he came to the living room, saw one of the doors was open, stepped across the threshold, entered the center of the spacious room, and stopped on the brocade carpet.

The open door was closed again, and there was a crisp "哐", and the stand lamps in the four corners of the living room suddenly ignited by themselves, slightly illuminating the living room.

The two armchairs in the high hall are empty, and there is no tea set on the coffee table. There are several scrolls of calligraphy and painting hanging behind the armchairs, but the largest one in the center is a strange portrait—a vicious green dragon head, wearing luxurious robes The human body, behind is a giant vortex.

There was still no one, and there was still only a voice from Wu Yan's side: "Before you talk about the business, please answer the old man, how much do you know about Tiansun Qingming?"

Wu Yan replied: "I only know that 'Tian Sun Qingming' is his pseudonym in Jianghu, and his real name is Yang Qingming."

The voice replied: "Not bad! The old man will ask you again, why do you want to inquire about his whereabouts?"

Wu Yan replied: "Ten years ago, when he was a guest at my house, he was hunted for revenge, he was seriously injured, and he was unconscious. My father said he was dead, so he sent him back to Xiyu Terrace, but Xi Yutai never came to my house to seek revenge, maybe... he is not dead?"

The voice asked again: "Do you want to confirm his life or death?"

Wu Yan didn't want to confess everything to the stranger, but said: "It's just my intuition tells me that maybe he is still alive in this world."

The voice asked back: "What if he was really dead back then?"

Wu Yan replied: "Then I want to see his tomb in person."

As soon as the words fell, there was only a loud laughter.After the laughter fell: "Master Xue will not easily let people outside Xiyutai see the tombs of high-level disciples! But the old man has been away from Xiyutai for so long, and he has long been out of touch with the affairs of the sect."

Wu Yan asked with concern: "Your Excellency doesn't know the current situation of Xiyu Terrace, so you must know a thing or two about Yangqing Ming back then?"

The voice replied: "People from the Murong family. The old man can only tell you that the old man was kicked out of Xiyutai very early, just because he refuted a sentence. Then he created his own Wuchang, so the matter you asked , the old man couldn't see it with his own eyes, so I can't tell you in detail, but according to what I heard, after Yang Qingming was sent back to Xiyutai, he was picked up by head Xue, but the news after that was locked inside the door. You only have Only by venturing into the Xiyu Terrace can you find out what you want to know."

Seeming to have gotten nothing, Wu Yan could only sigh helplessly, and cupped his hands against the air: "Farewell." Turning around and walking to the door, he opened the door and walked out, leaving the house.

The voice sighed and seemed to be talking to himself: "In this world, it's rare for someone to think about the young master..."
