Bai Yujing

=====================

In the pure white jade hall surrounded by Xianle, Feng Qi shook the bell in his hand, barefooted, and walked out of the main hall of Lord Luochuan, the Lord of Water City, while kicking the hem of his clothes.

Yaoyao suddenly saw a handsome figure, he quickened his steps to meet him, as if he had already forgotten the previous stagger in the hall, "Ming Wang!"

Against the background of bright red and purple, there is a face that does not lose color at all, "Feng Qi? You..."

"I just found out that you are coming to see Mr. Luochuan..." Feng Qi swallowed the second half of the sentence: So I just left.

"It doesn't have to be like this." The eyes were only dark for a moment, and King Ming's eyes quickly returned to indifferent calm, "But thank you very much."

"Why do you and I say thank you?" Feng Xi patted him on the shoulder, suddenly leaned close to his ear, and whispered something. When he raised his head again, the eyes of King Ming had already shone with brilliance, which was obviously bright. Woke up.

Feng Qi smiled at him, raised his hand and tossed him a red phoenix flower hairpin, "I saw it before and bought it specially for you." He glanced at the Peacock King with white teeth and bright eyes, and took the hairpin Don't touch his bun, raised the corners of his mouth and commented: "I love you."

After saying that, he passed King Ming, turned his back and waved his hands, the silver bell on his wrist swayed with a crisp sound.

Seeing Feng Qi go away, Xia Xian, who was leading King Ming, obviously became impatient, and urged: "Hurry up, Lord Luochuan and Lord Xixie are waiting."

The smile on his face disappeared suddenly, and Duke Ming gave Xia Xian a cold look.

The lower immortal followed Mr. Luochuan all the time. Although he knew that the Peacock King Ming was an upper immortal, because King Ming was originally a domestic peacock raised by his city lord, he never paid attention to him, so he got used to neglecting him. This was the first time he saw King Ming showing his face. Such a look.

Although he was startled, seeing King Ming lowered his head and continued to walk forward, and even quickened his pace, he was relieved and convinced himself that everything just now was just an illusion.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xi Xie saw him, "Little Peacock, you've come."

King Ming saluted him, "I have met Lord Xixie and Lord Luochuan."

Mr. Luochuan held a string of red sandalwood beads in his hand, and he only nodded his head when he heard what he said, "Have you seen Feng Qi?"

"Yes." There was no trace of the usual flamboyant and domineering, but rather docile.

"I told Xixie to invite you, and he made a big noise in my hall, disturbing these big Buddhas." Luo Chuan raised his eyes to look at the Buddha statue in his main hall, clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, I have sinned. "

Mr. Luochuan believes in Buddhism, not only has he shaved himself, but from Shuicheng to his own main hall, there is no place where there is no Buddha statue, especially in his own hall, there is a Guanyin painting in the middle, and there are various other places There are scripture offerings and fruit, as well as compassionate Buddha statues.

And on his right hand is the largest Buddha statue in the entire hall, which is his own face. At this time, his hands are clasped together, his lips are slightly parted, as if he is reciting something.

There is no Buddha in the world, so he ascended to become a fairy queen, and he was called a true Buddha.

King Peacock Ming lowered his head and said nothing, but Luo Chuan said: "If you always associate with people who don't respect Buddha like this, it will hinder your practice."

"I understand."

Luo Chuan nodded slightly, and saw Xi Xie raised his chin, leaned lazily on the couch, looked at him with blurred eyes, clapped his hands, "Go and change clothes."

King Ming retreated in response, and the silk and bamboo musicians arranged their positions one by one. With the light and elegant music sounding, King Ming in gorgeous colorful clothes walked into the center of the hall to the music and danced lightly.

Thousands of years ago, he was just a plaything peacock under Luochuan's seat. Because of Lord Luochuan's appreciation and support, he was made the peacock king and led the clan.

Also because of this master-servant relationship, even though he has been ranked among the immortals, leads the clan, and is also a real immortal official in Bai Yujing, none of these incomparably noble Yuan Zun, except Feng Qi, can look up to him. He never talked to him much on weekdays, especially Luo Chuan and Xi Xie, who regarded him as a singer and dancer who came and went.

Feng Qi knew that he had a high spirit, and today, when he was a guest at Luochuan, he heard that the Lord of Shuicheng called him to have fun again, so he left early.

Amidst the melodious and elegant music, King Ming's figure is tall and straight, but soft like a willow shoot, his eyes are full of amorous feelings, and when he raises his hand, there are countless spring lights. Get rid of all the brilliance around him.

The maid beside her with low eyebrows and narrow eyes holds a bowl of red dendrobium. The pure white bowl is filled with clean water, and in the center of the water are scattered red dendrobium petals.

Xi Xie took two sips, put the empty bowl back, and pulled King Ming into his arms. The players who played the music seemed to be unaware, and continued to play endlessly, but they all lowered their heads and hid their eyes. .

King Ming sat in his arms, like two blooming peonies overlapping each other, with Xixian's hand ambiguously wrapped around his waist, King Ming glanced at Mr. Luochuan, who was closely related to the whole hall. Together with the compassionate Buddha statue, they just looked at him silently.

He seems to be in a sacred and elegant Buddhist hall, and he seems to be living in the flower street and willow alley where the door is leaning on the door and selling laughter.

So King Ming looked away from Mr. Luochuan's shiny and clean head, closed his eyes silently, let his clothes fall apart, and the peonies peeled off into snow-white frost.

==============

The howling wind blew past my ears, and the young general in fresh clothes and furious horse returned to the camp with a spear/gun, opened the curtain of the camp tent, and shouted sharply, "How dare you come back?"

Kneeling in the tent was a young soldier with pale complexion, and two soldiers beside him pressed him down. Hearing Xia Ying's words, he couldn't stop trembling.

The major general governs the army very strictly. If anyone who deserts or disturbs the morale of the army is found, he will be executed by military order.And the little soldier in front of him was the soldier who escaped during the battle with Hou Jiang. As a forward, he managed to escape under Xia Ying's nose.

He was busy with the battle and had no intention of chasing and disposing of him. He just recorded him in the book, but unexpectedly after a few days, he came back by himself.

Hearing Xia Ying's words, the little soldier knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and wept, "General, calm down, please be aware, General, Yingshun is by no means a person who covets life and fears death. I was captured by a monster during the Nanyang battle that day." gone!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, Xia Ying frowned fiercely, but she didn't speak out to reprimand, she only sent the guards to disperse the people around the camp, and said: "If you speak half a lie, you should be sentenced to death."

Although since the founding of Baiyujing by His Majesty Emperor Tianzun at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, ghosts have never dared to invade Kyushu at will, but there were rumors of the Southern Chen Demon Emperor, and later there were rumors of Northern Zhou man-eating monsters.

Prior to Zhou's attack on the South and the North, Xia Ying was in charge of assisting the Ministry of Criminal Justice in tracking down the cannibals of the Northern Zhou for several years, but there were still very few clues.

All I know is that no matter whether you are rich or poor, there are always teenagers or young men who disappear for no reason. Some never come back, and some come back and say they were taken away by monsters. What's more, when they reappear at home, It has become a gray corpse.

Seeing that Xia Ying was willing to listen to him, the soldier called Yingshun immediately wiped away the tears that were about to burst into his eyes with a pair of rough hands. He said: "Yingshun has been with the general for many years, if he tells a lie, he is willing to be dealt with by the military order, please behead him and hang it above the city gate, as a warning to others!"

Xia Ying raised her jaw upon hearing this, motioning for him to continue.

Ying Shun frowned, clenched his back teeth and said, "That day in Nanyang, my subordinates were vanguards, and they were going to follow the general to charge, but when the order to beat the drums sounded, the subordinates' horses seemed to be manipulated by others, regardless of whether the subordinates No matter how you rein in the horse, the war horse still doesn't care. The subordinates have no choice, so they jump off the horse, but unexpectedly, the moment their feet touch the ground, they lose control of their legs!"

Xia Ying suddenly looked at him. If she hadn't participated in the investigation of this case, Xia Ying would have found it hard to believe such remarks. It sounded too ridiculous.

But during his investigation, many of the few people who were lucky enough to escape mentioned that their bodies were manipulated.

"Go on."

Ying Shun took a deep breath, and continued under Xia Ying's watchful eyes: "This subordinate was terrified, no matter how hard he shouted, he couldn't break free, so that this subordinate ran straight out of the battlefield, and then fell into a coma. , when I wake up again..."

Yingshun suddenly stopped speaking, and choked up a loud sob, as if he didn't want to think about it, and he could only utter the words if he restrained his breath as much as possible.He raised his head and looked at Xia Ying.

"When I woke up again, my subordinates were shackled hands and feet and imprisoned in a cage half the height of a person. Countless worms crawled towards their bodies, like rotten lowly animals."

A soldier can be killed and cannot be humiliated. He followed Xia Ying for many years in the war of resistance. Ying Shun thought about throwing his head and blood on the battlefield, but he never thought that one day he would be treated like this.

It is even more difficult to say these things.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ying called out: "Military doctor!" He hurriedly stopped Xia Ying, "This subordinate was rescued by others, and he is fine now." He looked at Xia Ying with extremely sincere eyes, "This subordinate was lucky enough to escape. I don't know how many more days he can survive. In case of any accident, the general must first listen to his subordinate's confession, and then treat him."

Hearing this, Xia Ying suddenly stepped forward and put one hand on his shoulder.Ying Shun raised his head in shock, but he could only see General Xia's chin. His head was raised very high, as if he didn't want him to see his expression.

After a while, Xia Ying said: "Sit down." After saying that, she wanted to move the chair for him herself, Ying Shun raised her hand to stop him, but Xia Ying quickly moved the wooden chair behind him.

With a complicated and grateful expression, Ying Shun sat down cautiously but flattered under Xia Ying's gaze.

"What you said is as important as a thousand weights to the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Forgive Xia for being so cold." Xia Ying turned her back, as if she couldn't bear it. "Please tell me everything you have seen and heard."

A few tents away, in the pharmacist's tent, the three of them frowned slightly, holding their breath, listening to the movement in Xia Ying's tent.

Originally, Shi Tianqing felt the strangeness first, he couldn't hold back in the room, and insisted on dragging Lin Yan out for a stroll, but he saw this little soldier who was pushed into the tent at a glance.

With just one glance, he said to Lin Yan, "An unformed medicine man."

Neither Lin Yan nor Shi Tianqing had thought before that Nether's business had become so arrogant that humans were used to refine medicine.

Relying on the excellent hearing of a cultivator, Shi Tianqing became more determined after listening to these few words, and Ying Shun was arrested and turned into a medicine man.

"Actually, it's nothing incredible." After a brief astonishment, Shi Tianqing returned to his casual expression, "You Ming has been doing the pickling business for so many years, how could there be no Bai Yujing's intervention behind it."

The Emperor of Heaven once issued a decree to the Three Realms that those who rely on spiritual power and spells to harm mortals should be taken to Baiyujing for questioning.

The only and fastest way to avoid the eyes of Tianting is to have the big tree on Baiyujing behind.

Just like Mr. Jieshi a hundred years ago.

Lin Yan tightly clasped the teacup in his hand, his slender knuckles turned white from too much force, the teacup in his hand instantly turned into powder, and the astringent tea dripped down and landed on his hands.

The promise of the gods to the world seems to have really become a joke.

"Let's go find Xia Ying and that soldier!" Changsheng stood up, "I've heard about the medicine man's talk for a long time, and it's extremely cruel. Changsheng is willing to investigate this matter together with the two of you, and will definitely do our best. Do not hesitate to die."

Lin Yan seemed to be touched, and suddenly looked at him with great concentration, but it seemed that he saw someone through him.

After a long while, the hands that had been soaked in cold tea were suddenly wrapped in warmth, and the water stains that had not been wiped off were wrapped in ice-blue light and evaporated in an instant.

When Lin Yan turned his head, he bumped into Shi Tianqing's eyes.

"He didn't ask Han."

Lin Yan was taken aback suddenly, he never expected that Shi Tianqing could guess his own thoughts exactly.

When the group arrived at the general's tent, the hands that were tied under the sleeves of the robes were separated. Lin Yan used the cover of the wide sleeves to wipe his fingertips lightly.

Almost as soon as he heard about Changsheng's arrival, the major general opened the door curtain and personally invited Changsheng to enter.Ying Shun suddenly saw three young masters entering the room, he was a little surprised for a moment, subconsciously looked at Xia Ying, "General?"

Xia Ying nodded at him to comfort him, then listened to Chang Sheng say: "Just now the general is calling for a doctor, so I heard the sound and came here."

Xia Ying glanced at Ying Shun, and declined politely: "There's no need for now, I'll bring him to find you after half a stick of incense."

Changsheng saw that Xia Ying seemed to be ordering to chase away guests, so he stopped practicing Tai Chi, and said straight to the point: "I wonder if the general has heard of the 'medicine man'?"

He simplified the explanation to Xia Ying, then pointed to Lin and Shi and said: "My two friends are both masters of Taoism, and they have been investigating the matter of the medicine man. I just heard the words in the general's account," Chang Sheng Looking at Yingshun, "I think this little strong man might be able to provide a lot of clues."

Xia Ying looked at the two of them calmly, then suddenly looked straight into Lin Yan's eyes, "Your Excellency, can you distinguish human voices from a hundred steps away?"

"Yes."

Xia Ying didn't distinguish between happiness and anger, and only looked at Lin Yan's face. After a while, she suddenly chuckled, looked at Chang Sheng, and it was someone else who said, "Your friend is really the reincarnation of a god, and he has so much hearing and eyesight. "

"This matter is not just a human matter. It is difficult for the general to investigate thoroughly." Chang Sheng did not realize Xia Ying's voice-over. "Please allow the three of us to investigate together."

"Changsheng," Xia Ying's tone suddenly turned cold, "Xia Ying trusts you because you saved my love to ride, and you spent several months with me day and night. They share similar interests, but I don't know these two well, and you These two friends have supernatural powers so far, if they are Nan Chen's eyes and ears, Northern Zhou will perish."

It was the first time Changsheng saw Xia Ying speak to him with such expression and voice, but subconsciously said, "The reason for saving the red fox is because I have a predestined relationship with the red fox."

He paused, and then said: "The general was born in a noble family. He has been exposed to military books since he was three years old, and he followed the old general to deduce the sand table when he was six years old. There is nothing congenial, so this is no reason for the general to trust me."

After Xia Ying finished listening, she suddenly looked at Chang Sheng with a subtle expression.

He did tell Chang Sheng about his childhood experience, but it was also the first time he heard Chang Sheng remember his past so clearly, and it was even the first time he heard Chang Sheng praise him like this.

Chang Sheng didn't know about his ups and downs, he just said: "But the general still chose to trust me."

He insisted: "Since this is the case, I beg the general to trust my two friends. The matter of the medicine man will not affect the situation of the war between the North and the South. Changsheng can also swear that the two of them will never tell the general's plan to the south." Chen. These two friends and I will definitely investigate the matter of the medicine man, and I ask the general not to be suspicious."

"Young General," Lin Yangang called Xia Ying, but Shi Tianqing stepped forward suddenly, slightly blocking him behind, and said to Xia Ying, "To be honest, I had a similar experience with this little brother named Ying Shun. This is also the reason why I hope that this matter can be traced to the end.

Seeing him, Xia Ying frowned slightly, probably because that smiling and playful face was too psychedelic, making people subconsciously feel that every word he said was false and careless.

Even when he said such words, there was no pain in his eyes.

Probably seeing the suspicion in Xia Ying's eyes, Lin Yan pushed Shi Tianqing away and walked in front of Xia Ying again, "What he said is true."

His eyes were extremely clear and bright, and under the thin eyelids were dark eyes.

He just looked at Xia Ying with no guilt, "We also want to find out the perpetrator as soon as possible and take revenge."

Xia Ying fixedly stared into his eyes, and he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually felt that this gentle and good-tempered young man seemed to be gnashing his teeth when he said that sentence just now.

As if there is really some deep hatred.

But after pondering for a long time, he still looked away, "Sorry."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the wooden chair beside him suddenly exploded, with a "bang", a huge wave of arrogance swept over Xia Ying with heat, and everything he looked at was distorted.

Almost at the same time, Changsheng jumped up, exposing his entire back to the air waves, and firmly protected Xia Ying.

The warm and heavy body covered Xia Ying's body, and the chair that had been placed there just now turned into powder for no reason. He looked in shock at Shi Tianqing who flicked his fingertips after the aftermath.

"Why are you so nervous?" Shi Tianqing said to Chang Sheng, "I won't hurt the Major General."

It was only then that Xia Ying suddenly realized that Chang Sheng was tightly attached to him, he subconsciously took a step back, Chang Sheng stood up after him, this time, he was standing in front of Xia Ying, facing Shi Tianqing.

The middle is like a Chu River and the Han Dynasty.

He blocked Xia Ying just now, and he also felt the air wave falling on his back like a breeze, without any lethality. Although he knew that Shi Tianqing had no malicious intentions, he still spoke extremely coldly, "To Xia Ying, even if it's a joke no."

"Changsheng..." Shock appeared in Xia Ying's eyes, as if it was unbelievable that Changsheng would protect him like this, so Changsheng said to him: "They have power beyond ordinary people, and they have shown it to you just now."

His eyes flicked past Lin Yan and Shi Tianqing's faces, and finally landed on the lock of hair hanging from Xia Ying's temple because of his actions, "General, as long as they want, they don't need to steal any planning secrets at all. The entire Northern Zhou Dynasty can be destroyed in a single overturn of the palm, so the general can rest assured that they are only trying to track down the Yaoren matter."

"As for me," Chang Sheng raised his hand and wrapped Xia Ying's lock of hair behind his ear, "I will protect the general until Nan Chen retreats."
