Wearing cannon fodder makes the master collapse

"It's midnight, why not walk and talk"

Chu Yunchuan's voice came from outside the sedan chair, and Chang Xiang hurriedly changed his posture of leaning on the sedan chair, turned around and sat down obediently, and secretly hammered his head before they came in, blaming himself for such ignorant behavior , Lost Qingying's face.

The host invited the guests first, Feng Lianing took her seat slowly and gracefully, and sat beside Chang Xiang, followed by Ye Lingjiang, who sat opposite Chang Xiang, then Chu Yunchuan stepped in, took a look, and sat down with his disciple side.

Ye Lingjiang rolled his eyes, why did he feel like he was in a train carriage?

The sedan chair is as stable as Mount Tai, and it is only through the curtain that the wind blows that you can see that it has gone straight into the sky. The pool and plum trees at the bottom gradually shrink and turn into a little bit of white. The moon revealed a pale face from the clouds and looked at them quietly.

"Wow, it's so beautiful"

Ye Lingjiang was attracted by Changxiang's exclamation. He leaned on the window and stretched out half of his head to look back. It turned out that he was not referring to the landscapes in the night, but the paintings infused with light in the sedan chair.

Behind where Chu Yunchuan is sitting is the Eastern Immortal Mountain, and behind him is the endless sea, which is an unreachable land boundary, and it is also the place where the world calls the secret realm of longevity. Hong Guang, Ye Lingjiang sat close, focused his eyes on it, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a very small pattern mark on the side of the mountain, dotted with ink on the bottom of the mountain, if you don’t look carefully, you will think it’s just painted a little heavier.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably made of colorful firefly crystal glaze, which is made from the firefly's body color, but I don't know much about what else."

Chu Yunchuan nodded slightly, "Red Blood Danxia, ​​Qingdai Jinbi, all kinds of colors are taken from different rare objects, but I didn't go all over the world to search for them myself, but picked them up ready-made."

Feng Lianing was so interested, touched the painting on the side, "Oh, I don't know where such a good thing can happen"

"It's a coincidence that these pigments look crystal clear and beautiful, but they are extracted from extremely poisonous poisons. Those poisons in the Western Regions are colorful and extremely anti-corrosion. With some materials, they can last for thousands of years after drying. And once When I went to the western land, I was still young, strayed into the poisonous miasma dense forest, almost died, was chased by the poison to a house, and was saved by someone. This person lived in the forest full of poisonous snakes and insects, He opened the door, but no one dared to approach him. It's really strange. He said little and was studying this method deeply, but his heart was warm. He stayed with me for a few days, and when he went out again to pick poisonous insects, he led me out of the forest. Snakes and insects on the road dared not approach him. At that time, he gave me some, but he took away only enough for a few paintings, and then many years later, I went to visit again, but the man was gone.”

"Maybe it's moved away," Changxiang said immediately.

Chu Yunchuan glanced at the picture he had drawn, remembered something, shook his head, and said, "He once said that he is used to coexisting with those poisonous things. Although other places in the Western Territory are also full of poisonous weeds, they are not as many as there. When I went there, the house was clean and dust-free, and many important things were not taken away, but the poisons were already entrenched there, occupying the ground as a nest, obviously he hadn’t returned for a long time, but he left in a hurry.”

"Then maybe something happened." Ye Lingjiang thought about it.

"However, according to the things in the house, he should be married."

Changxiang rolled his eyes, pressed his index finger to his lips in puzzlement and said, "If you marry a wife and live in that kind of place, how do you know people and marry a wife?"

"Since there will be one strange person, there may be a second strange person. However, it doesn't mean that people in the western region are not afraid of poison, but they are not completely immune to poison? Why did those snakes and insects detour when they saw him? Herbs or spices?"

"I didn't notice it. No matter in terms of appearance or skin color, he is no different from ordinary people in the western region, but his eyes are not like them, but slightly purple, and even his lips are light purple. However, people in the western region have different pupils." Different skin, but purple is less common."

Feng Lianing was silent for a moment, then asked suddenly, "Is his hair color slightly purple, but his skin color is fair but different from ordinary people, more like gray?"

"You know him." Chu Yunchuan raised his eyes.

He shook his head, "It's not that I know it, but I have been practicing medicine for many years. I have been familiar with medicines and know a thing or two about poisons. You should know that in the Western Regions, the most poisonous ones are toads, snakes, spiders, Centipedes and scorpions are usually not compared to ordinary non-poisonous living things, but the whole body is blue, purple and green. The reason is that the toxins in their bodies show up over time. There may be a reason why this person is afraid of the poisonous things around him. "

Ye Lingjiang's thoughtful eyes suddenly lit up, and he said hurriedly, "You mean, there is poison in his body?"

"That's right. The poison in his body is stronger than those poisonous substances, so that those poisonous substances dare not approach, or, his poison comes from those highly poisonous substances."

"He ate those poisons"

Changxiang's eyes showed disgust "eating centipede and scorpion"

"If you want to make the eye color, skin color, hair color, etc. all purple, you can change it in a short time, probably from eating poison since childhood."

"Even if they are less afraid of poison than us, isn't a child sure to die if he eats poison? Besides, living there, even a yellow-mouthed child should be able to understand these things, how can they behave like this?"

Feng Lianing shook her head, "I don't know, since he has disappeared and it has been a long time ago, it seems that there is no day to solve the mystery."

Chu Yunchuan's eyes shone with moonlight like water, and his expression was calm, "The past is the past, and each person has his own destiny."

Ye Lingjiang looked at him, but felt something was wrong. Why didn't he feel sad at all, after all, he was his savior, but instead smiled at them.

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Chang Xiang said with a face unwilling to discuss these creepy and unpleasant things, turned his head to look out of the window, and suddenly pointed to a spot outside, "Look, what is that?"

Ye Lingjiang looked behind him, and the houses in Pianzhou City were lined up in an orderly manner, surrounded by a moat river on the east side, and the lights in the river were flickering, brighter than the stars in the sky, and a row of people stood beside the river People, rich or ordinary, all have joy on their faces, and the sound of joy and joy is carried by the wind.

"fall."

The Nine Heavens Dragon Yin sedan chair was hidden in the woods by the river, they took a closer look, and saw that those red lights were actually lotus lanterns holding wishes, and now the east wind was blowing, and it was going eastward with the flying, gradually The line drifts away.

"This place is Linzhou City."

"What's written in the book is accurate, and Linzhou is indeed very lively." Ye Lingjiang looked at the scene of the city that was still brightly lit in the middle of the night, not only feeling emotional.

"You also read books and think that you probably don't know big characters, and books are just paper." Chang Xiang deliberately satirized him, who made him always talk to himself, although he was not lovable when he was a child, but he never saw him It's so clever, but what hasn't changed is that it still needs a beating.

Ye Lingjiang laughed in his heart, knowing that he just had an itchy mouth, so naturally he didn't care about it, but he still hooked him over and laughed, "Books aren't made of paper, what are they?"

"You, you, you, let me go and strangle me to death." Changxiang patted his arm, tired enough, "There are many books about Linzhou, but almost all of them are in the travel notes, history and other books listed in Zhongjing. , Ordinary cultivators don’t pay much attention to it. Oh, I see, you must be ignorant all day long. cough cough"

Chu Yunchuan glanced at him, "What's the point of fighting?"

Feng Lianing smiled and said, "They are all children, let them go, this kid Changxiang usually just follows me, it's rare to see him so close to others."

"Master, uncle, why are you so close?" Chang Xiang wanted to cry but had no tears.

Ye Lingjiang let him go immediately after hearing this, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and smiled a few times, with a look of understanding, "If you haven't seen it yourself, how would you know so much? If you have seen it too , could it be that you are also full of heart, longing for the world of mortals?"

"You speak too much"

"What I said was wrong"

"I'm too lazy to tell you," Changxiang glared at him angrily, his neck and cheeks were still red, and he ran to the bank of the Changhe to find someone and asked, "Excuse me, what are you doing?" What"

The person being questioned was a woman, dressed poorly, her face seemed to have been exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, and her face was covered with spots and wrinkles. There was a knee-high child standing beside her, holding her trouser legs tightly. Hiding half of his body behind her, he looked at Changxiang with timid and ignorant eyes.

She smiled, and replied with some excitement, "You are from another place, so you don't know this important matter in Linzhou. This river is a river of life and death. When it reaches a long distance, it will divide into two, one into the Styx River, and the other into the Styx River. In the sky, wishes are transmitted to ghosts and gods, and they will eventually come true.”

"You mean it's a prayer"

Ye Lingjiang walked forward and saw that the river bank was endless. He only saw a pair of hands dragging lotus-shaped lanterns into the river, pushing the water to push them away, enough to light up half the city.

"certainly"

Seeing her happy look, Ye Lingjiang didn't have the heart to interrupt her, and swallowed back the words.

Chang Xiang turned his head and said softly to them, "How can the river in the mortal world lead to the sky and flow into the underworld? Isn't this a dream? There are so many people who believe it."

"In this world, there are many unsatisfactory things. If there is no faith, if there is no expectation, I am afraid it will be easy to give up my life, and I don't want to stay in this world for a moment. Idiots say that having a dream may be better than nothing."

Chu Yunchuan was dressed in black and stood on the bank, the galaxy, the bright moon, the lights of the water reflected his peerless face, the timid child couldn't help poking his head a little more, looking at him with round and curious eyes.

Ye Lingjiang couldn't help being attracted too.

He seems to have changed

It wasn't until Feng Lianing got closer that he realized that there were only two people in front of him who were as rare as morning stars.

"I don't know what this lady is asking for"

Ye Lingjiang looked at her and looked at her clothes. She was not looking for glory and wealth, but probably looking for good food and clothing.

Maybe it was because she had never heard anyone call herself that, or because she had never seen such an elegant and beautiful man, her wrinkled and aged face was flushed, and she said shamelessly, "How dare you call yourself a madam? It's just a embroiderer making wedding dresses for her. My husband has gone on an expedition and hasn't returned for several years, so I only wish for his safety."

"Daddy!" the child ignorantly yelled a few times after her, and was picked up.

She pointed to the river boundary where the outline could not be seen clearly in the distance, and pointed to some lotus lantern. Those lights seemed to be shining in her eyes, half teaching and half leading, "Xiaobao, say, Dad must come back safely, we will wait for you." with him."

Looking at the tears rolling in his mother's eyes, Xiao Bao didn't know if he understood the word "Missing", but he just muttered, imitating her, saying "Daddy Pingping"

Ye Lingjiang was stunned suddenly, feeling ashamed of what he had just thought.
