Why don't you follow the routine? [Putting through the book]

The Song family was even more magnificent than Yan Qing thought.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he was first shocked by the red-lacquered door that was so tall that it seemed that he could not see the edge. Then, when he opened the door, dozens of servants came out to greet him neatly, which made him feel like he was enthroned. After entering the door, he saw carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions, towers and pavilions inside, and there was a big lantern two or three steps away, which was as bright as daylight, and he couldn't help but want to admire it.

As expected of a family that has controlled Wanghai City for thousands of years, the feeling of being so rich is nothing more than that of the palace.

The name of the middle-aged man who brought them here was Song Xiao, who seemed to have a high status in the Song family, and everyone around him was respectful to him. He led Gao Changling and Yan Qing all the way in, and briefly talked about the recent situation as he walked.

"Our city lord has been injured and bedridden for quite a while. Some time ago, it seemed to be going badly, but fortunately, God blesses us, and we survived. The people from the Immortal Realm came to see him, and said that although the injury is serious, the most dangerous days have passed. As long as you rest well, you should be fine."

Gao Changling seemed to have never heard of it, his face full of inscrutability, while Song Xiao was still rambling on to himself.

"That dragon is really hateful. It has been making waves near the sea for several months. The city lord personally led people to fight it. He lost a lot of soldiers and he was seriously injured. That's how he drove it back... But according to reports from the guarding disciples... , that dragon hasn't receded yet, it's still hovering in the sea, it's just that it doesn't know what's wrong, it's just that it hasn't come out to hurt anyone for the time being."

Hearing what he said, Gao Changling suddenly asked: "Since the dragon hasn't receded, why did you ask the fishermen to go fishing?"

Gao Changling's tone was cold, and Song Xiao's body trembled when he heard it, with a trace of fear clearly showing on his face.

"This is... the meaning of the city lord. Jiaolong has been lingering in the sea for a long time, and he can't always stop the fishermen from going to the sea. Nearly half of the people in Wanghai City rely on fishing for their livelihood. Even if they don't fish, they still have to go to sea to do business. , the old and the weak, women and children are all waiting to eat, I really can't bear it..."

Gao Changling's cool eyes glanced slightly, Song Xiao suddenly stopped talking, his forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

After he bowed his head in trepidation and trembled for a while, Gao Changling withdrew his slightly sharp eyes, and his expression became unpredictable again, "Tell them all to come back, and they are not allowed to go into the sea until the disaster of the dragon is resolved."

Song Xiao raised his head and seemed to want to argue a few more words, but Gao Changling didn't bother him at all, and walked forward, and the middle-aged man could only follow quickly, not daring to mention it any more.

Yan Qing has been following Gao Changling on the sidelines, feeling that the Song family seems to be afraid of Gao Changling, not to mention those respectful servants, but Song Xiao, who looks like a housekeeper, obviously knew Gao Changling before, but he didn't talk at all. Unfamiliar with him, he bent his back so much that he wished he could lie on the ground, sometimes he was two steps too late and fell behind, and he could see that the clothes on Song Xiao's back were completely soaked in sweat.

Does your own master have such lethal power?Yan Qing was puzzled.

Seeing that Gao Changling refused to talk to him, Song Xiao didn't dare to speak anymore. The three of them walked quietly along the long corridor, letting the night wind blow over the flowers and trees on both sides of the garden path, and the gloomy Tianmu, this scene is really weird and frightening.

Yan Qing was not very courageous in the first place. Seeing this scene, he quickly thought of some horror movies. He couldn't help thinking of what kind of monsters would pop out of any corner. I plunged into the arms of the master, but there were others beside me, so I immediately suppressed it very hard.

"Teacher, come here." Gao Changling seemed to have noticed something was wrong with him, stopped and turned around and stretched out his hand to him. Yan Qing glanced at Song Xiao, still a little embarrassed, but Gao Changling stepped forward and pulled him up without any explanation. hand, turned and left.

Song Xiao was left in a mess in the wind.

After a while, Song Xiao came to his senses and quickly chased after them with small steps, smiling obsequiously at them.

"I haven't seen Elder Yan for many years, how is the situation?"

"Haha, it's easy to say." Yan Qing said, and felt that it was too perfunctory after finishing speaking, and quickly added, "Recently, I am busy studying Taoism, and I don't go out much, thanks to your concern."

"Elder Yan is obsessed with Taoism, and he must have benefited a lot. When he is free someday, why not discuss with the juniors in the family, so that they can gain some knowledge."

Hearing this, Yan Qing thought that it would be better for me, a rookie, not to be ashamed, and was thinking of how to tactfully refuse, when Gao Changling glanced sideways at Song Xiao, Song Xiao immediately lowered his head, as quiet as a chicken.

"Although Yan Qing is my apprentice, he has already recruited disciples by himself. Comparing with the juniors, it would be a little bullying."

"Yes." Song Xiao said awkwardly.

"Since it's a competition, it's better to be of the same generation. Speaking of it..." Gao Changling narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Song Xiao, you and I are also of the same generation. Since you want to compete, why don't you and I compete?" Just for a moment, so that the juniors can open their eyes and gain some insight?"

"Tayun-jun joked, the villain dare not."

Song Xiao tremblingly wiped off his cold sweat, and dared not speak again.

The Song family occupies a vast area. Starting from the gate, the gate is covered with a small door, and the large courtyard is covered with a small courtyard. It takes half an hour to walk through the garden alone. Although the scenery is pleasant, the walk is not fast, but when you reach the main house in the inner courtyard At that time, Yan Qing was still too tired to move, she looked at the Song family with admiration in her eyes.

No wonder that Song Xiao politely asked if he wanted to take a sedan chair when he just entered the door. For such a long distance, going out every day is equivalent to running a marathon, which is really difficult for them.

The main house of the Song family is still so magnificent and luxurious, even the floor tiles at the door are wished to be gold-plated.Yan Qing walked all the way, she was used to the world she should see, now she just wanted to find a place to sit and have a sip of tea, such a long journey was really exhausting.

Fortunately, the Song family didn't keep them waiting for long, Song Xiao went in to make an announcement, and after a while, he came out and respectfully ushered them into the room.

"The city lord said that he is inconvenient, please take care of him and see you in the hall." Song Xiao said.

Gao Changling nodded slightly, without saying anything, Song Xiao raised his head and glanced at Yan Qing, as if he was hesitating whether to ask him to go in, but Gao Changling ignored him, and led Yan Qing into the door.

Song Xiao could only follow along.

Entering the side hall, the gorgeous atmosphere of the nouveau riche finally restrained a little, but there was no light in the room, only a coral plant one person tall was placed in the corner, with more than a dozen pearls on it, each crystal clear. , shining brightly, illuminating the room as bright as day, Yan Qing glanced at it, only to feel that he was almost not blinded by the light.

"You didn't tell me earlier when you came, so that they could arrange to pick you up. You are so unfamiliar, and you still have to stay in a hotel. It's because we didn't treat guests well."

Someone in the room spoke, his voice was old but full of spirit.Yan Qing stood beside Gao Changling, sized him up calmly, and saw a short table by the window, on which sat an old man with a kind face. The old man had gray beard and thin hair, but he was very energetic, even He smiled as if greeting him.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but City Lord Song still has the same demeanor." Gao Changling didn't answer, but nodded slightly.

After listening to Gao Changling's explanation of the history of the Song family's fortune, Yan Qing always felt that Song Xingwen should be a wretched old man with a deer head and a rat face. In short, he couldn't be better looking than Paohui. A word of kindness.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, little apprentice."

Song Xingwen smiled and waved to Yan Qing, Yan Qing had no choice but to stand up, weighed his words and saluted, "I've seen City Lord Song."

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I am more energetic. I think you were a little baby who just joined Changling's sect. Now, in a blink of an eye, you have also opened a peak to recruit disciples, and you have become a master..."

Yan Qing broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, he was afraid that this old guy would talk to him, after all, he came through later, if the original owner had any intersection with Song Xingwen before, if there were any secrets he didn't know, he had to finish playing on the spot.

"No matter how you grow up, you still have the same pure heart. In the eyes of the elders, it's no different from the doll who didn't understand anything." Gao Changling suddenly said, reached out and patted Yan Qing's shoulder, motioning him to go After a while, he smiled politely at Song Xingwen, "I haven't made any progress at all, so the Lord Song laughed."

"Where, you are very good at training people, you apprentice, I like it very much..."

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stood behind Gao Changling.

At this moment, the servants had moved over two chairs swiftly, served tea and snacks, and filed out after serving. The whole process did not make a single sound. Looking at their well-trained appearance, think about yourself again. Yan Qing couldn't help feeling very depressed about the group of disciples under him who could only practice swords.

They are all serving people, why is there such a big difference.

But when you think about it, people raise maids in their families, and they raise disciples. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and life is a father. His old father can't be too harsh on his own children...

While thinking, Yan Qing drank tea and ate snacks, sitting upright in a silent trance.

"If Qing'er hadn't died, your child would probably be this old."

Yan Qing suddenly wanted to stand up and answer a word, but at a glance, he saw Song Xingwen stroking his beard and looking at him with emotion, not like talking to him, and the person next to Song Xingwen Gao Changling lowered his eyes slightly, his expression seemed not very happy.

At this time, Yan Qing's brain, which was half a beat behind, reacted.

Oh, so it wasn't Qing'er, it was Qing'er. Song Xingwen was thinking of his daughter Song Qing who died young.

Yan Qing suddenly felt unhappy, and said to herself, what are you doing thinking about your daughter, your daughter can't die, she is still alive and kicking, besides, if you say your daughter, you say your daughter, why do you bring me up, Who loves to be your grandson!

Perhaps Yan Qing's anger was too obvious, Song Xingwen suddenly felt that this was wrong, and quickly laughed twice, "Oh, I am old, I just like to think wildly, some words are not pleasant, please take care of Elder Yan two."

Yan Qing hurriedly said: "The junior dare not."

Gao Changling still looked calm and said nothing.

Being interrupted by such an interruption, Yan Qing didn't dare to be distracted, and sat quietly behind Gao Changling, listening to the conversation of the two big men.

"The dragon is now outside the port, near a hidden reef thirty miles to the west." Song Xingwen coughed twice, asked Song Xiao to add a robe to him, and then said slowly, "There are hidden reefs all over the place, there is no You can't sail a boat, you can only go forward with your sword, even when you are fighting, you can't fall into the water, otherwise you will become the rations of that dragon... My family has lost a lot of people there, and now I really can't fight anymore, so... be generous Please be ashamed to the Lingyun sect..."

Seeing that Gao Changling still did not pretend to speak, Song Xingwen was not anxious, and still said slowly: "Actually, I have been waiting to find you these years. Back then, you and Qingqing were not married after all, so I just wanted to brazenly call you I'm afraid you won't admit to being a son-in-law, not to mention that you are angry with me in your heart, and I know that...so you can come here in person today, and I can't express how happy I am."

Gao Changling was still indifferent, but Yan Qing's eyes rolled, although his head was still obediently lowered, but his ears were obviously raised.

Song Xingwen sighed again, "I know I shouldn't look for you, but the situation forced me to look for you again, and besides, you really have to do this matter now, so I sent someone to look for you. on your..."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Song Xingwen was always at a loss for what to say, Gao Changling simply asked for him.

Song Xingwen had a complicated expression, he looked at Gao Changling for a while, and then he was filled with emotion, showing an expression that he didn't know whether it was happiness or sadness.

"Changling, Qing'er...may still be alive."
