Lanling Ji

Yecheng

The capital of the country is the capital of the country, even more prosperous than Luoyang, with majestic buildings everywhere, towers and pavilions, row upon row.Ye Lanling looked at the "Yu Mansion" in front of him and frowned. Although it had enough appearance and was simple and elegant, it faintly exuded the smell of medicine.

"Oh, isn't this the big brother?" A man with long hair in a crown, wearing a royal blue long coat, and holding a folding fan walked down the steps and came straight to Yong.

Ye Lanling heard the words, raised his head and looked at the person carefully.Delicate and handsome appearance, thin lips curled up, slender eyebrows like a smile, but less real.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still serious, ha ha." Yu Wenxian shook the white ink paper fan.

"Brother?" Ye Lanling frowned, looking at the expressionless Yong in doubt.

"Yo, who is this?" Yu Wenxian noticed Ye Lanling who was leaning on the side of the carriage, and was stunned for a while, then his smile became stronger, "Brother, did you change your taste this time? Where did you find it so... "

Before Yu Wenxian finished speaking, he took two steps back and raised his paper fan to block Yong's fist, "Brother, are you saying hello, haha. Oh, that's right." Yu Wenxian ignored Yong and turned sideways In front of Ye Lanling, "I'm Xia Yuwenxian, I don't know what to call the young master?"

"My surname is Ye, and my name is Lanling." Ye Lanling recovered from the actions of the two brothers just now, "This is Shen Ning, my younger brother."

Yu Wenxian looked at Shen Ning beside Ye Lanling with a smile, but got an angry mutter from the other party.

Seeing Shen Ning's swollen face, Ye Lanling smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother-in-law is probably a little tired."

"No...it's okay." Yu Wenxian was a little startled after seeing Ye Lanling's gentle smile, then looked at Yong who raised his eyebrows, Yu Wenxian smiled and shook his head, "Everyone go in."

————————————————————————————————————————

"This is..." Yu Wenxian took the letter from Ye Lanling and read it.

Ye Lanling was sitting in an ancient mahogany-like chair on the right. If many smoking pots were placed on the way from the gate to the hall, it was a vision, but at this moment, Yong was sitting next to the master's seat, and he was still savoring it leisurely. Tea, but Yu Wenxian sat beside her. How should I explain it? Is the honor and inferiority of the Northern Dynasty different from that of previous dynasties?

Yu Wenxian finished reading the letter, her brows were furrowed, her gaze wandered between Ye Lanling and Shen Ning, "Who is Mu Airui's adopted son?"

"Mu Ai Rui?" Ye Lanling looked at Yu Wenxian's sharp eyes suspiciously.

Yu Wenxian said nothing, just looked at Ye Lanling and Shen Ning with a frown.

"I am." Shen Ning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out surprisingly, "I am mother's adopted son, and brother Ye is mother's son."

Ye Lanling lowered her head in astonishment, looking at Ning'er who spoke seriously.

When Yu Wenxian received this answer, he did not dispel his doubts, but became even more confused. He stared at Shen Ning, "Do you know the true identity of Mu Airui's adopted son?"

"I know." Shen Ning stood up, "Gao Changgong, the son of Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng."

Hearing this, Yu Wenxian opened the paper fan with a "huh" and squinted his eyes, "Gao Changgong was born in the seventh year of Datong, and he should be 29 this year. The little brother is at most twelve or thirteen years old. Isn't this ridiculous."

"Haha." Shen Ning suddenly laughed out loud, putting on a serious look that he had never seen before, "Did Master Yu hear that the Rouran tribe has a kind of witchcraft, which can maintain the appearance of a person at a certain time, and will never senescence."

Yu Wenxian was stunned, "You mean Mu Airui..."

"That's right. In order to prevent me from looking more and more like my late father, Gao Cheng, Mu Airui became a witch at the age of 12."

"So that's how it is..." Yu Wenxian shook the paper fan, looking at Yong who was drinking tea on it with a blank expression.

Shen Ning turned around, saw Ye Lanling's incredulous expression and couldn't help smiling, he grabbed Ye Lanling's sleeve, "Brother Ye, that's what Mu Ai Rui's mother said."

"Ah?" Ye Lanling was startled, seeing Shen Ning grabbing his hand, he felt a burst of fear.This child-looking person deceived me from the very beginning, 12-year-old looks 29-year-old, it is scary that such witchcraft exists in this world.Why did he follow me, why did he call my brother, why did he still smile at me like this now.

"It turns out that Mr. Ye is from the Rouran clan." Yu Wenxian teased Ye Lanling playfully.

Hearing this, Ye Lanling pursed his lips, looked at Shen Ning who was standing in front of him, and nodded slowly.

"Then Mr. Ye can practice this kind of witchcraft?"

"I..." Ye Lanling frowned, the most deceitful self was now about to lie outright, his head began to ache, and his fingers holding the chair handle turned white.

"Ahem." Yong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly broke the silence.

"Ah, okay, now it's my turn to talk about my relationship with you." Yu Wenxian took a sip from the small white porcelain cup on the desk, "My master is a Taoist in the middle of the fairyland, proficient in medical skills, But he likes to travel all over the world. Once he rescued the seriously injured Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng, and then invited him to the capital again and again. It happened that the master was doing research on the "living dead" at the time, so he agreed. Emperor Pingxiang bestowed this mansion on weekdays with his master. The contacts are very close, and the two have gradually become confidants."

"Later Gao Changgong was born. He was handsome and talented. Emperor Pingxiang loved this son very much. When Gao Changgong was eight years old, Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang rebelled. In order to protect his son, Emperor Pingxiang sent Gao Changgong out of the palace to his master. Master Knowing the ins and outs, I felt that this place was not safe, so I entrusted my close friend Rouran, the mute Mu Ai Rui, to live in seclusion, but kept in touch with her."

"Later, the master went out to travel again in order to study the 'living dead'. Before he left, he told me about Gao Changgong. Recently, Mu Airui often mentioned the danger. You know that the Rouran people have many mysterious and powerful witchcraft , Prediction is one of them." Yu Wenxian held the envelope in her hand, "She said the word 'death' in this last letter, it seems that she can predict the future, but she can't change it."

"Mother and the entire Shen family village were killed." Shen Ning looked at Ye Lanling who was silent and frowned.

"What?!" Yu Wenxian widened her eyes in surprise when she heard the words, "The Shen family village in Luoyang City was destroyed?"

Shen Ning nodded silently.

"That's it." Yu Wenxian regained his expression, squinted his eyes, and met Shang Yong's gaze, "A few days ago, I received a secret order from the government to destroy the village for the crime of rebellion. It turned out to be Shenjia Village."

"The one who destroyed the village was the imperial court?"

"That's right." Yu Wenxian shook the folding fan in his hand, "It's said to be a rebellion, but there are actually other reasons."

Ye Lanling, who had been keeping his composure all this time, suddenly looked sideways at Yu Wenxian, who was always smiling.

"For hundreds of years, there has been a myth circulating in every country in the Northern Dynasties. When the dynasties bestowed by heaven change, a star will fall from the sky somewhere. The mysterious thing is that the blessings and misfortunes of this star are unknown. There are even stars that destroy the world. But most kings hope to get this star to enrich and strengthen their country, so the priests who protect the destiny calculate the moment when the star will fall."

"A few days ago, Priest Qi was watching the stars at night, and first obtained its specific location. The ministers in the palace had different opinions on whether or not to criticize it. Finally, Empress Dowager Hu, who is in power today, issued a decree: In order to prevent future troubles, kill without mercy!"

Ye Lanling suddenly stood up with a "huh", his unhealed right foot trembled slightly, his face was pale with the pain, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, "You...you mean, Shenjia Village was destroyed because of this?"

Yu Wenxian was surprised by Ye Lanling's actions, frowned, and nodded thoughtfully, "That's right."

Hearing this affirmative answer, Ye Lanling couldn't hold on any longer, and wanted to say something with his slightly parted lips, but his vision darkened and he passed out.

"Whoosh—" Yong stood up and supported Ye Lanling with his eyes closed.

"Brother Ye!"

"Help him to the wing quickly."

————————————————————————————————————————

"It's strange...it's extremely strange." Yu Wenxian examined Ye Lanling's wrist with an increasingly suspicious expression.Suddenly, he stood up, glanced at Yong who was at the side, and went out the door.

After a while, the door was opened.

"Brother, talk here." Yu Wenxian was waiting at the door, and when she saw Yong coming out, she hurried forward and took him into the side room.

After closing the door, Yu Wenxian paced back and forth, not looking at Yong for a long time, and kept muttering inexplicable words and phrases.Seeing Yu Wenxian's abnormal behavior, Yong was a little impatient, "What's wrong with him?"

Yu Wenxian stopped in her tracks, with a look of embarrassment on her face, and said to Yong in a daze, "He has no pulse!"

Hearing this, Yong narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"This is the first time I have encountered such a phenomenon," Yu Wenxian opened the white fan, and began to talk to himself again, "According to medical theory, 'unconsciousness, with a pulse' is a 'living dead'; the 'consciousness', 'no pulse' 'What is it? Strange, very strange, he should be dead.'

"What did you say?" Yong heard the last sentence, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yu Wenxian by the collar, forcing him to look directly at himself in a daze, "What does it mean to die."

Yu Wenxian finally noticed the ugly expression of the eldest brother, "Brother...Brother, I mean yes. But if you are from the Rouran tribe, probably anything will happen."

Yong put down Yu Wenxian, "Do you think he is from Rouran?"

Yu Wenxian straightened her clothes, "Of course not."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I think some of that fake brat's words are true, but some of them are random fabrications. For example..." Yu Wenxian shook her folding fan and smiled, "Mu Ai Rui doesn't have any heirs."

"Their identities are all fake?"

Yu Wenxian shook his head, "Gao Changgong's identity can be confirmed, he is the guy who looks like a child. Because Mu Airui once told me about this royal orphan, so I actually know the Condensation Technique, and I was just testing them That's all."

"Ye Lanling's identity is fake."

"Shenjia Village was destroyed at the first moment, and only the fake kid and Ye Lanling survived. Since the kid is confirmed to be Gao Changgong, who will Ye Lanling be?" Yu Wenxian looked at Yong, who was frowning and pursing his thin lips. "Then there are only stars."

Yong said nothing.

"However." Yu Wenxian stopped laughing and said in a daze, "I care more about his body than his real identity."

Yong heard the words and stared at Yu Wenxian sullenly.

"Oh, no, no, no, I mean, I care more about his illness." Yu Wenxian waved his hands hastily, "But brother, with all due respect, you shouldn't have anything to do with him."

"Why?"

Yu Wenxian squinted her eyes and said coldly, "I also have the right to destroy anyone who approaches my elder brother with unknown identities."

"whispering sound!"

"Besides... the third brother will do the same."

"Really? Straight." Yong Gang said his name, and that martial artist appeared out of nowhere, still the same as the previous days, with a murderous sword on his waist.

"Oh, third brother, long time no see. How have you been all these years?" Yu Wenxian smiled and stepped forward to pat Zhizhi's shoulder, "I haven't seen you for three years. I have grown taller and become more handsome."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Zhimian replied in a somewhat mechanical manner with no expression on his face.

"It seems that you haven't had a good life these years." Yu Wenxian lowered her face, staring at Yong who was beside her, "I really shouldn't have let you be the shadow guard of my eldest brother back then."

Yong raised his eyebrows, "Zhi, how is the investigation going?"

"Back to the master, there is no news."

"Master...Master?" Yu Wenxian punched Zhi on the chest fiercely, and the other party snorted, "You can shout such evil words, don't you know how to call elder brother?"

Clutching his chest, "Why did you hit me?"

"If you don't hit you, I can't hit anyone else." Yu Wenxian frantically shook her fan, "We are brothers, we haven't seen each other for three years, so we can't put down the red tape for a while? Come on, come on, come here and let brother hug you hug."

Hearing the words, he retreated three feet away.

"It's really not cute." Yu Wen envious of the black line, "By the way, are you investigating Xing?"

Nod straight.

"Actually, we are somewhat sure about this star."

"kindness?"

"Brother also knows." Yu Wenxian pointed.

He turned straight to Yong with a gloomy face.

"Straight, give up the mission, I want to confirm it myself."

"Yes!" She cupped her fists, "Please convey the next task."

"Standby here for now."

"Yes!"

"Great, now the three of us can have a happy chat." Yu Wenxian smiled.

"How is Ivoro now?" Yong asked suddenly.

Yu Wenxian froze her smile suddenly, and a trace of helpless sadness flashed across her face in an instant, "It's still the same."

"Is there no other way for the Taoist in the Immortal Realm?"

"Master has been working hard to study the medical skills of the 'living dead', but so far has failed." Yu Wenxian looked gloomy, and the hand holding the folding fan trembled slightly, "I owe him."

For a moment, silence and sadness spread, and no human voice was heard for a long time.
