Bai Chenyu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, he heard the long and gentle breathing in his ears, the sound was like some kind of calming medicine, which gradually calmed down his violent heartbeat.
He pursed his lips, turned his body slightly, and carefully traced the gentle and peaceful sleeping face beside him by the faint moonlight cast from the window. A sweetness that he had never felt before slowly overflowed from the bottom of his heart. come up.
It turns out...is this the feeling of liking?
He was born in a brothel, and he has long been accustomed to the affairs between men, but he never knew what true liking is. Although after the reunion, he always felt a little inexplicably throbbing, but he always thought that he just admired his brother and wanted to get closer to him , Until now, I can no longer lie to myself.
It turns out that besides being a well-behaved and obedient younger brother, so that my elder brother loves and cherishes me, I want to do that kind of thing to my elder brother... What a guest does to a young man, no, no, no, it is what a man does to his beloved. kind of thing.
Bai Chenyu looked at Zhou Yue's side face, recalling the scene in the dream, only felt that his face was hot and his heart was beating like a drum.
"Hmm...Chi Xiao..." At this moment, Zhou Yue muttered something vaguely, her delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, as if she hadn't slept much. stable.
Bai Chenyu gently wiped the sweat from Zhou Yue's forehead. He looked at the man's frown that was also slightly frowned in his sleep, and couldn't help feeling a little pain in his heart. For his own sake, his brother took the risk of stealing the elixir, and was almost caught by Gu Xuecheng. Living in the house, and getting sick in the rain... I still have to worry about Gu Xuecheng's investigation when I come back, and I can't even sleep well, but I'm still here, thinking about that kind of thing.
Bai Chenyu thought about the number one Immortal Lingxue in the world, the destructive Scarlet Heaven Sword, and the way Gu Xuecheng looked down at his brother back then, his eyes gradually darkened.
Fortunately, even if Gu Xuecheng had some vague thoughts that he shouldn't have, and even deliberately condoned the disgusting rumors, but his brother had already said it himself, there was no ambiguity between the two of them, so he was relieved.
Bai Chenyu touched the real jade pendant on his chest, and the corners of his lips curled up mockingly. What is Gu Xuecheng? Daoist, if you still have any wishful thinking about your brother, you are too ignorant.
Some things are predestined, and there is no such thing as a cheap fake.
But even so, I have to become stronger as soon as possible, so that I can protect my brother, and prevent my brother from taking risks for me, getting sick in the rain, and worrying about myself.
By the way, that thing... Bai Chenyu narrowed his eyes, carefully opened the inner mattress, and picked out a small wooden box from the thick straw mattress.
He stroked the small wooden box lightly, hesitating in his heart. When he bid farewell to his brother five years ago, his brother urged him to follow the right path. Being bullied by some punks, I never thought of using this box.
But now, in order to protect my brother...
……
The next morning, Zhou Yue felt a little better, but still had some headaches. In order to avoid being in bed for too long and attracting attention from others, he reluctantly got up and went out to clean the mountain path.
On Lingxiao Peak in the early morning, the air is exceptionally fresh. There are almost no people on the wide and flat bluestone mountain road, only a few sweeping servants, "sweeping" the fallen leaves.
A servant wiped his sweat and whispered: "Have you heard? Our Lingxiao City is closed!"
Zhou Yue pricked up his ears.
Another servant wondered, "Why?"
"I heard it from some outer disciples when I went to fetch water from the Lingquan this morning. I don't know what happened."
Another servant said mysteriously: "By the way, I heard this morning that Master Lin Feng, Master Lu Feng, and Master Luo Feng entered Lingxiao Palace last night."
"real or fake?"
"Have you been summoned by the head immortal?"
Everyone chattered for a long time, but there was still no result of the discussion. Zhou Yue pretended to bow his head to sweep the floor, but a thin layer of sweat had already leaked from the palm of his hand holding the broom, and his heart began to beat.
It seems that Gu Xuecheng is much more angry than he imagined about the "corpse being molested".
Zhou Yue originally thought that Gu Xuecheng sealed Lingxi Peak at most, but he actually sealed the entire Lingxiao City directly, and summoned the three peak masters into the Lingxiao Palace overnight. From this point of view, a thorough investigation must be carried out.
He could only pray silently, he applied the disguise potion again this morning, and put a dog skin plaster on his forehead, hoping it would work.
Sure enough, an hour later, the manager hurried over: "You guys, quickly put away the broom, tidy up your clothes, and go to Lingxiao Palace with me! Hurry up!"
Zhou Yue's heart sank slightly, and all the servants also looked at each other in blank dismay. The steward urged him even more urgently, and they didn't dare to delay. After tidying up a little, they lined up in two rows and followed the steward to Lingxiao Hall.
At this moment, the Baiyu Square outside Lingxiao Temple was already crowded with thousands of people, and it was completely dark. Zhou Yue looked carefully and found that there were roughly three groups of people.
Standing in the middle of the square were hundreds of inner sect disciples dressed in light yellow shirts. They were led by three peak masters. They were well-disciplined and stood solemnly.
On the left side of the square, there are thousands of outer disciples in blue shirts, led by a few older inner disciples, all of whom looked a little anxious. Zhou Yue saw Bai Chenyu at a glance, Bai Chenyu Yu also saw him, and the two exchanged a look, and nodded slightly to each other.
On the right side of the square, there were thousands of servants dressed in gray coarse clothes. Zhou Yue belonged to this team. He followed the steward with a low eyebrow and stood up behind the team.
In less than half an hour, everyone arrived, and the square was silent.
Qingfeng Envoy stood on the high white jade steps of Lingxiao Hall, different from the Qingfeng Envoy appointed by Gu Ruhai in the past, this Qingfeng Envoy was younger and more friendly, and he said loudly: "At midnight yesterday, a thief sneaked into the cloud of Lingxi Peak. Snow Tower."
Everyone was shocked, and there was a slight discussion immediately.
Qingfengshi said slowly: "After the master Xianzun found out, he immediately sealed off the entire Lingxiao City. Today, you are called here because the master Xianzun decided to investigate one by one in person."
There was a burst of surprised discussion below: "Sect Master Xianzun wants to personally investigate?"
"Oh my god, I haven't seen the sect master Xianzun yet."
"Don't be happy, I don't know if something serious happened..."
The Breeze Envoy raised his voice and said, "Quiet!"
Everyone immediately quieted down, and a moment later, a drawn-out voice came from Lingxiao Hall: "The Master Immortal has arrived—"
The majestic coercion of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir came surging, and the Baiyu Square was suddenly quiet. Except for the three peak masters who just bowed deeply, everyone else knelt down involuntarily, even the branches of the pear blossoms were chattering. The birds also shrank their necks one after another.
After Zhou Yue knelt down in the crowd, she secretly raised her eyes and looked up the white jade steps.
Gu Xuecheng slowly walked out from Lingxiao Hall. Today he changed into a jet-black robe with silver orchid patterns. His snow-white and handsome face looked extraordinarily gloomy, and his cold and clear eyes were even darker. Yes, without any emotion.
Everyone lay down on the ground, all trembling, but Zhou Yue frowned slightly. He had raised Gu Xuecheng for several years, so it was natural to see that Gu Xuecheng's mood at this moment was almost to the extreme.
Zhou Yue couldn't help thinking of Gu Xuecheng's careful care of the corpse, and felt very uncomfortable for a moment, did she really want to keep it a secret from him?
But he immediately thought of the little yellow book that was rolling with thunder. Besides, he still had to leave this world after five years, so why bother to disturb a pool of spring water?Zhou Yue closed her eyes, secretly made up her mind, and decided to continue hiding her identity.
Gu Xuecheng lowered his eyes, his cold gaze swept across the crowds of people in the square, and then slowly walked down the tall white jade steps.
He first walked to the far left side of the square, and came before the group of outer disciples. His pitch-black eyes slowly turned, passing over the faces. Dozens of outer disciples' legs were weak, and they collapsed involuntarily. On the ground, Zhou Yue looked at Bai Chenyu worriedly. Fortunately, Bai Chenyu seemed to have excellent psychological quality, and nothing went wrong.
Gu Xuecheng's face was gloomy, without saying a word, he walked to the middle of the square and came to the group of inner disciples.The coercion of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was like a stormy sea. The disciples of the inner sect prostrated themselves on the ground and worshiped. Even the three peak masters bowed their heads involuntarily.
After a while, Gu Xuecheng frowned slightly, as if he still had nothing to gain, his face became more and more gloomy, and he walked towards the servant team on the far right of the square.
Zhou Yue's heart pounded: "System, is there really no problem?"
The practice system vowed: [Host, please rest assured, this body is brand new, and it is blessed with the top-level Yi Rong Dan that hides the aura of the golden core. Gu Xuecheng only uses his spiritual sense to search through the air, and he will never find any problems. 】
Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief just now, Gu Xuecheng had already come to the front of the servant team, at the same time, a wave of icy and majestic spiritual consciousness overwhelmingly suppressed it!
Most of the servants were casual cultivators who had first-ranked golden elixirs or second-ranked golden elixirs, and their cultivation was far inferior to that of the inner disciples and outer disciples. Hundreds of them couldn't bear it all at once, and they all collapsed on the ground, shaking like sifting chaff, Zhou Yue was also fishing in troubled waters, and fell limp to the ground with an ouch.
The spiritual consciousness of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is like a huge fishing net, sifting through these small fish and shrimps.
A moment later, Gu Xuecheng showed disappointment, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head extremely slowly and looked in Zhou Yue's direction.
Zhou Yue felt a "thud" in her heart.
Gu Xuecheng stared at Zhou Yue, narrowed his eyes slightly, seemed to vaguely feel something was wrong, but couldn't explain why, he hesitated a little, then turned and walked in front of Zhou Yue.
All eyes were focused on Zhou Yueshen.
"Look up." Gu Xuecheng said lightly.
Zhou Yue had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly raised her head.
Gu Xuecheng only glanced at his face, and said coldly: "Why is it disguised?"
Zhou Yue is now double-insured, taking Yirong Pill internally, applying medicine externally, and putting a funny plaster on his forehead. He swallowed, and guessed that Gu Xuecheng probably only saw the layer of medicine, but if he did not respond properly, Gu Xuecheng would be scared. In order to get rid of suspicion, he carefully inspected his meridian dantian, this kid is not as good as before, and nine times out of ten he will find that he has taken Yi Rong Dan.
Against the cold gaze of the other party, Zhou Yue bit the bullet and tried to turn his head, but there is a way, but...
Gu Xuecheng's expression was a little impatient, and he said coldly: "Why do you change your appearance?"
At this moment, Zhou Yue finally gave up, tore off the dog skin plaster on her forehead, spit two mouthfuls indiscriminately on the palm of her hand, and rubbed off the disguise potion on her face, revealing the ordinary and delicate face underneath. face.
He twitched and said: "Reporting to Sect Master Xianzun, the villain has been too...beautiful since he was a child. His parents told him not to show his true face easily unless he meets the love of his life."
His way of removing make-up with saliva is really vulgar, coupled with his ordinary face, he said such unbelievable words, all of a sudden, everyone's faces became extremely exciting, some were surprised, some were funny, some Contempt, even Gu Xuecheng frowned, his face was very ugly.
Zhou Yue originally thought that Gu Xuecheng would be swept away immediately by the thunder, but who knew that Gu Xuecheng took a deep breath and endured it, reaching out to grab Zhou Yue's wrist, as if wanting to probe his meridian dantian.
When it was too late, Zhou Yue grabbed the cold and slender hand of the other party, and said shyly: "Xianzun, have you taken a fancy to the villain? The villain has always admired you very much and is willing to be your furnace. Brother Fu Qingyun and Senior Brother Zeng Liuyun under Lord Lin Feng's seat, they all know this villain's intentions."
Everyone looked at Fu Qingyun and Zeng Liuyun one after another, even Lin Siyun couldn't help but look at these two disciples, Fu Qingyun's expression was strange, Zeng Liuyun's expression was contemptuous, their expressions all showed the same thing - what Zhou Yue said was real.
Zhou Yue tugged at Gu Xuecheng's sleeve, and said in a mournful voice: "Immortal Venerable, please accept the villain, please let the villain serve you..."
Gu Xuecheng's face was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot. He slammed his sleeves and slammed Zhou Yue to the ground, as if he had touched something unclean, and said sharply: "Presumptuous!!"
Zhou Yue got his wish and was thrown away, and he was also shocked by himself, but he was very conscious of being a worker. After all, in order to complete the task, he used to even "I want to taste what it's like to be a woman" in public. "This kind of words can be said, and now these are just drizzle.
Gu Xuecheng turned around and left. Zhou Yue performed a full set of plays, lying on the ground, and mourned: "Immortal Venerable! Immortal Venerable! The villain really admires you!"
Gu Xuecheng walked even faster.
The two stewards rushed forward and tightly covered Zhou Yue's mouth: "Why are you so crazy, how dare you disturb the master Xianzun!"
"Wuuu, let me go! Immortal!" Zhou Yue pretended to struggle desperately, and heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart. The level in front of him was finally muddled. Suddenly, he caught something out of the corner of his eye. It turned out that Bai Chenyu had been staring blankly. over here.
Zhou Yue's mind went blank for a moment, it's too bad, he forgot that the child was here, he lost all face as a brother, he no longer struggled in embarrassment, and pretended to lie on the ground with ashes, but in fact he really had a heart like ashes .
So, is this a humble worker?
After Gu Xuecheng left, the Qingfeng Envoy announced loudly again: "The master Xianzun said, first, from today onwards, anyone who leaves Lingxiao City must hold the warrant of each peak master; Do not leave Lingxiao Peak; thirdly, the new sweep servants within a year will no longer be responsible for sweeping the mountain roads, but will enter the Lingxiao Palace, the back garden, and the library to do the sweeping."
There was a lot of discussion among the people, but they couldn't figure out what Gu Xuecheng meant. Only Zhou Yue understood it. It seemed that Gu Xuecheng had not given up on the investigation, and guessed that it was an internal thief.
Zhou Yue thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered something, yes, according to the instructions of taking care of Xuecheng, I can clean the library by myself!
The library in Lingxiao City is a treasure. I can't steal the medicinal materials now, so I am helpless. I just took this opportunity to check various ancient books in the library to see if there are other ways to form alchemy besides Ningxue Pill.
Sure enough, good luck depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing.
After returning from Lingxiao Palace, Bai Chenyu was obviously worried: "Brother, today... are you okay?"
Zhou Yue recalled her wonderful performance, bit the bullet and pulled the corners of her lips, smiled awkwardly, and tried to win respect: "Xiaoyu, brother has no choice."
"Brother..." Bai Chenyu looked at him, his eyes gradually became a little complicated, as if he felt guilty about his own helplessness, but also thanked Zhou Yue for making such a sacrifice in order to help him form an alchemy.
He whispered: "Brother, I will work hard, I will not be worse than that fake... than Gu Xuecheng."
The system happily said: [Blackening value -1! 】
Zhou Yue was very pleased. Although he lost his old face, he lowered the blackening value and encouraged the protagonist Shou. He touched Bai Chenyu's head with a smile, and said sincerely: "You will do it."
After all, in the original book, you two are the only two Nine Rank Golden Pills.
"I won't be worse than him." Bai Chenyu's voice was a little gloomy, as if he was full of thoughts, his cheek was gently rubbed against Zhou Yue's hand, and his lips brushed against his palm inadvertently.
Zhou Yue was slightly taken aback, Bai Chenyu had already raised his head, and said with a shy smile, "I'll go down for my brother."
Zhou Yue blinked her eyes, the weird feeling just now must be an illusion.
Two days later, Zhou Yue was fined a whole year's wages by Ling Xiaofeng's chief steward for what happened in the square that day. Fortunately, Gu Xuecheng was busy with affairs and did not pursue the matter afterwards, otherwise Zhou Yue would probably have lost some layers of skin.
Zhou Yue kept a low profile for a few days, then went to find the steward again, and secretly stuffed a middle-grade spirit stone into his sleeve: "Ahem, a few days ago I got excited and lost my composure in front of the sect master Xianzun, and now I really regret it." .What if I meet the Immortal in Lingxiao Hall when cleaning in the future, and the Immortal remembers what happened that day, and blames me, what should I do? Me, I'd better go to the library."
The steward took the spirit stone and didn't doubt him, so he just sighed: "Zhou Qingyue, I don't know if you have the guts to pester the head celestial master! Fortunately, the celestial master is busy with work. , I have no time to pay attention to such a small servant like you. How about this, I will assign you to the library, but you must remember this lesson, and you must be careful in the future."
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Yue said quickly.
Three days later, the chief steward of Ling Xiaofeng summoned dozens of stewards, large and small, and counted the servants who had just entered the mountain gate within a year, a total of 350 and seven servants.
According to the order to take care of Xuecheng, the chief manager assigned these people to the front hall of Lingxiao, the back hall of Lingxiao, Baiyu Square, the library, the back garden and other places to clean. Zhou Yue and dozens of other servants were assigned to the library. building.
For Zhou Yue, cleaning the library is a good job. It doesn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, and you can read ancient books without bumping into Gu Xuecheng. He worked very hard and worked hard for half a month.
This morning, Zhou Yue wiped a few bookshelves first, then sorted out the books on them, picked out some books with moth-eaten pages and damp pages, and moved them to the yard to dry together with a little servant named Ah Zhong .
It is midsummer now, the yard is full of green trees and cicadas are singing.
Zhou Yue and Ah Zhong opened those books and placed them under the sun one by one. Zhou Yue was suddenly attracted by one of the pages: "After losing the elixir, I was reborn from the ashes. , so-called 'Phoenix Nirvana'."
There is also a short story attached below, which probably means that the ancient immortal emperor cut out his own nine-turn golden elixir with his own hands, and practiced it into "Phoenix Nirvana", so his strength increased greatly, and finally drove the devil emperor back to the demon world, blah blah blah .
Zhou Yue was a little speechless, flipping through the cover, and sure enough, this is not some serious secret book, but a strange novel, which records all kinds of weird legends and stories.
Zhou Yue vaguely remembered this so-called "Phoenix Nirvana" Dafa. He had seen it before, and he didn't care about it at the time. Now that he has read a lot of books, he shook his head again and again: "What nonsense? I don't know if there is any If people believe it, they really gouged out their own pills."
Ah Zhong stretched out his head to look, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingyue, in fact, there are still people who believe in this crooked way."
Zhou Yue asked in surprise, "Really?"
Ah Zhong is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and has a very lively temper. He immediately chattered: "A few days ago, didn't some outer disciples go crazy? It is said that they have gone on crooked ways."
Zhou Yue vaguely remembered this incident: "So that's how it is."
"Isn't it?" Ah Zhong looked around and lowered his voice, "By the way, Brother Qingyue, have you heard about it? Recently, there have been incidents of monks being dug out for golden pills alive. One of them is said to be Bi. The elder of Yun Temple."
Zhou Yue was slightly taken aback, and immediately remembered the case five years ago. Gu Ruhai forced Zhou Ran to write a book "Five Elements for Alchemy", and sent Qingfeng envoys and Mingyue envoys to collect the blood of virgin boys and girls, and dug up several gold medalists. The tomb of Brother Dan finally formed a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.
At that time, I guessed that the man in black who killed the younger sister of Yanbo Tower and kidnapped several boys and girls including Bai Chenyu was Qingfengshi, but after I returned to Lingxiao City, Qingfengshi never came back. So missing.
Although Gu Ruhai died a long time ago and the case was closed, the missing Qingfeng Envoy has never appeared again... Could it be that after Qingfeng Envoy learned about "Five Elements Changing Alchemy", he became ambitious and concealed his name from then on to study evil? Surgery gone?Now, in order to dig out the golden elixir, come out of the rivers and lakes again?
Zhou Yue thought about it for a while, but still couldn't think of a reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it, and worked hard with Ah Zhong on reading books.
As the sun rose gradually, the yard was filled with books, so the two hid under the shade of a tree and began to eat dry food.
Zhou Yue took out the cowhide kettle, and touched the dry food cloth bag in her arms, which contained two brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.
Zhou Yue touched the two pieces of glutinous rice cakes and hesitated a little. Gu Xuecheng was very familiar with the glutinous rice cakes he made. Just found out.
Well, Gu Xuecheng went to Yunxue Building today, so he definitely won't come here.
Ah Zhong asked suspiciously: "Brother Qingyue, don't you eat dry food? Didn't you turn into a golden elixir, you shouldn't have bigu."
"Of course I don't have bigu. I'm planning to eat it." Zhou Yue didn't hesitate anymore, took out a piece of glutinous rice cake, and started to eat slowly with the water in the kettle.
Just after eating half a piece, a voice came from the top of my head: "Hey, it tastes delicious."
Zhou Yue looked up and saw several servants standing in front of the two of them, looking at them maliciously.
The leading servant sneered and said, "You two, the backyard of the library hasn't been cleaned yet, why are you hiding here and being lazy? Aren't you afraid I'll tell the steward?"
Ah Zhong was taken aback, a little scared: "Brother Qingyue..."
"It's okay, the backyard is their territory, and it's not our responsibility." Zhou Yue frowned slightly, ignored the servants, lowered her head and continued to eat.
"What's your attitude? Brother Luo is talking to you!" A skinny servant jumped up, snatched the glutinous rice cake from Zhou Yue's hand, threw it on the ground with a "snap", and stomped hard on it.
He pursed his lips, turned his body slightly, and carefully traced the gentle and peaceful sleeping face beside him by the faint moonlight cast from the window. A sweetness that he had never felt before slowly overflowed from the bottom of his heart. come up.
It turns out...is this the feeling of liking?

Bai Chenyu looked at Zhou Yue's side face, recalling the scene in the dream, only felt that his face was hot and his heart was beating like a drum.
"Hmm...Chi Xiao..." At this moment, Zhou Yue muttered something vaguely, her delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, as if she hadn't slept much. stable.
Bai Chenyu gently wiped the sweat from Zhou Yue's forehead. He looked at the man's frown that was also slightly frowned in his sleep, and couldn't help feeling a little pain in his heart. For his own sake, his brother took the risk of stealing the elixir, and was almost caught by Gu Xuecheng. Living in the house, and getting sick in the rain...

He stroked the small wooden box lightly, hesitating in his heart. When he bid farewell to his brother five years ago, his brother urged him to follow the right path. Being bullied by some punks, I never thought of using this box.
But now, in order to protect my brother...

"Have you been summoned by the head immortal?"
Everyone chattered for a long time, but there was still no result of the discussion. Zhou Yue pretended to bow his head to sweep the floor, but a thin layer of sweat had already leaked from the palm of his hand holding the broom, and his heart began to beat.

Zhou Yue originally thought that Gu Xuecheng sealed Lingxi Peak at most, but he actually sealed the entire Lingxiao City directly, and summoned the three peak masters into the Lingxiao Palace overnight. From this point of view, a thorough investigation must be carried out.

At this moment, the Baiyu Square outside Lingxiao Temple was already crowded with thousands of people, and it was completely dark. Zhou Yue looked carefully and found that there were roughly three groups of people.
Standing in the middle of the square were hundreds of inner sect disciples dressed in light yellow shirts. They were led by three peak masters. They were well-disciplined and stood solemnly.
On the left side of the square, there are thousands of outer disciples in blue shirts, led by a few older inner disciples, all of whom looked a little anxious. Zhou Yue saw Bai Chenyu at a glance, Bai Chenyu Yu also saw him, and the two exchanged a look, and nodded slightly to each other.

The majestic coercion of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir came surging, and the Baiyu Square was suddenly quiet.

The birds also shrank their necks one after another.

Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief just now, Gu Xuecheng had already come to the front of the servant team, at the same time, a wave of icy and majestic spiritual consciousness overwhelmingly suppressed it!
Most of the servants were casual cultivators who had first-ranked golden elixirs or second-ranked golden elixirs, and their cultivation was far inferior to that of the inner disciples and outer disciples. Hundreds of them couldn't bear it all at once, and they all collapsed on the ground, shaking like sifting chaff, Zhou Yue was also fishing in troubled waters, and fell limp to the ground with an ouch.
The spiritual consciousness of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is like a huge fishing net, sifting through these small fish and shrimps.
A moment later, Gu Xuecheng showed disappointment, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head extremely slowly and looked in Zhou Yue's direction.
Zhou Yue felt a "thud" in her heart.
Gu Xuecheng stared at Zhou Yue, narrowed his eyes slightly, seemed to vaguely feel something was wrong, but couldn't explain why, he hesitated a little, then turned and walked in front of Zhou Yue.
All eyes were focused on Zhou Yueshen.
"Look up." Gu Xuecheng said lightly.
Zhou Yue had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly raised her head.
Gu Xuecheng only glanced at his face, and said coldly: "Why is it disguised?"
Zhou Yue is now double-insured, taking Yirong Pill internally, applying medicine externally, and putting a funny plaster on his forehead. He swallowed, and guessed that Gu Xuecheng probably only saw the layer of medicine, but if he did not respond properly, Gu Xuecheng would be scared. In order to get rid of suspicion, he carefully inspected his meridian dantian, this kid is not as good as before, and nine times out of ten he will find that he has taken Yi Rong Dan.
Against the cold gaze of the other party, Zhou Yue bit the bullet and tried to turn his head, but there is a way, but...
Gu Xuecheng's expression was a little impatient, and he said coldly: "Why do you change your appearance?"
At this moment, Zhou Yue finally gave up, tore off the dog skin plaster on her forehead, spit two mouthfuls indiscriminately on the palm of her hand, and rubbed off the disguise potion on her face, revealing the ordinary and delicate face underneath. face.
He twitched and said: "Reporting to Sect Master Xianzun, the villain has been too...beautiful since he was a child. His parents told him not to show his true face easily unless he meets the love of his life."
His way of removing make-up with saliva is really vulgar, coupled with his ordinary face, he said such unbelievable words, all of a sudden, everyone's faces became extremely exciting, some were surprised, some were funny, some Contempt, even Gu Xuecheng frowned, his face was very ugly.
Zhou Yue originally thought that Gu Xuecheng would be swept away immediately by the thunder, but who knew that Gu Xuecheng took a deep breath and endured it, reaching out to grab Zhou Yue's wrist, as if wanting to probe his meridian dantian.
When it was too late, Zhou Yue grabbed the cold and slender hand of the other party, and said shyly: "Xianzun, have you taken a fancy to the villain? The villain has always admired you very much and is willing to be your furnace. Brother Fu Qingyun and Senior Brother Zeng Liuyun under Lord Lin Feng's seat, they all know this villain's intentions."
Everyone looked at Fu Qingyun and Zeng Liuyun one after another, even Lin Siyun couldn't help but look at these two disciples, Fu Qingyun's expression was strange, Zeng Liuyun's expression was contemptuous, their expressions all showed the same thing - what Zhou Yue said was real.
Zhou Yue tugged at Gu Xuecheng's sleeve, and said in a mournful voice: "Immortal Venerable, please accept the villain, please let the villain serve you..."
Gu Xuecheng's face was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot. He slammed his sleeves and slammed Zhou Yue to the ground, as if he had touched something unclean, and said sharply: "Presumptuous!!"
Zhou Yue got his wish and was thrown away, and he was also shocked by himself, but he was very conscious of being a worker. After all, in order to complete the task, he used to even "I want to taste what it's like to be a woman" in public. "This kind of words can be said, and now these are just drizzle.
Gu Xuecheng turned around and left. Zhou Yue performed a full set of plays, lying on the ground, and mourned: "Immortal Venerable! Immortal Venerable! The villain really admires you!"
Gu Xuecheng walked even faster.
The two stewards rushed forward and tightly covered Zhou Yue's mouth: "Why are you so crazy, how dare you disturb the master Xianzun!"
"Wuuu, let me go! Immortal!" Zhou Yue pretended to struggle desperately, and heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart. The level in front of him was finally muddled. Suddenly, he caught something out of the corner of his eye. It turned out that Bai Chenyu had been staring blankly. over here.
Zhou Yue's mind went blank for a moment, it's too bad, he forgot that the child was here, he lost all face as a brother, he no longer struggled in embarrassment, and pretended to lie on the ground with ashes, but in fact he really had a heart like ashes .
So, is this a humble worker?
After Gu Xuecheng left, the Qingfeng Envoy announced loudly again: "The master Xianzun said, first, from today onwards, anyone who leaves Lingxiao City must hold the warrant of each peak master; Do not leave Lingxiao Peak; thirdly, the new sweep servants within a year will no longer be responsible for sweeping the mountain roads, but will enter the Lingxiao Palace, the back garden, and the library to do the sweeping."
There was a lot of discussion among the people, but they couldn't figure out what Gu Xuecheng meant. Only Zhou Yue understood it. It seemed that Gu Xuecheng had not given up on the investigation, and guessed that it was an internal thief.
Zhou Yue thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered something, yes, according to the instructions of taking care of Xuecheng, I can clean the library by myself!
The library in Lingxiao City is a treasure. I can't steal the medicinal materials now, so I am helpless. I just took this opportunity to check various ancient books in the library to see if there are other ways to form alchemy besides Ningxue Pill.
Sure enough, good luck depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing.
After returning from Lingxiao Palace, Bai Chenyu was obviously worried: "Brother, today... are you okay?"
Zhou Yue recalled her wonderful performance, bit the bullet and pulled the corners of her lips, smiled awkwardly, and tried to win respect: "Xiaoyu, brother has no choice."
"Brother..." Bai Chenyu looked at him, his eyes gradually became a little complicated, as if he felt guilty about his own helplessness, but also thanked Zhou Yue for making such a sacrifice in order to help him form an alchemy.
He whispered: "Brother, I will work hard, I will not be worse than that fake... than Gu Xuecheng."
The system happily said: [Blackening value -1! 】
Zhou Yue was very pleased. Although he lost his old face, he lowered the blackening value and encouraged the protagonist Shou. He touched Bai Chenyu's head with a smile, and said sincerely: "You will do it."
After all, in the original book, you two are the only two Nine Rank Golden Pills.
"I won't be worse than him." Bai Chenyu's voice was a little gloomy, as if he was full of thoughts, his cheek was gently rubbed against Zhou Yue's hand, and his lips brushed against his palm inadvertently.
Zhou Yue was slightly taken aback, Bai Chenyu had already raised his head, and said with a shy smile, "I'll go down for my brother."
Zhou Yue blinked her eyes, the weird feeling just now must be an illusion.
Two days later, Zhou Yue was fined a whole year's wages by Ling Xiaofeng's chief steward for what happened in the square that day. Fortunately, Gu Xuecheng was busy with affairs and did not pursue the matter afterwards, otherwise Zhou Yue would probably have lost some layers of skin.
Zhou Yue kept a low profile for a few days, then went to find the steward again, and secretly stuffed a middle-grade spirit stone into his sleeve: "Ahem, a few days ago I got excited and lost my composure in front of the sect master Xianzun, and now I really regret it." .What if I meet the Immortal in Lingxiao Hall when cleaning in the future, and the Immortal remembers what happened that day, and blames me, what should I do? Me, I'd better go to the library."
The steward took the spirit stone and didn't doubt him, so he just sighed: "Zhou Qingyue, I don't know if you have the guts to pester the head celestial master! Fortunately, the celestial master is busy with work. , I have no time to pay attention to such a small servant like you. How about this, I will assign you to the library, but you must remember this lesson, and you must be careful in the future."
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Yue said quickly.
Three days later, the chief steward of Ling Xiaofeng summoned dozens of stewards, large and small, and counted the servants who had just entered the mountain gate within a year, a total of 350 and seven servants.
According to the order to take care of Xuecheng, the chief manager assigned these people to the front hall of Lingxiao, the back hall of Lingxiao, Baiyu Square, the library, the back garden and other places to clean. Zhou Yue and dozens of other servants were assigned to the library. building.
For Zhou Yue, cleaning the library is a good job. It doesn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, and you can read ancient books without bumping into Gu Xuecheng. He worked very hard and worked hard for half a month.
This morning, Zhou Yue wiped a few bookshelves first, then sorted out the books on them, picked out some books with moth-eaten pages and damp pages, and moved them to the yard to dry together with a little servant named Ah Zhong .
It is midsummer now, the yard is full of green trees and cicadas are singing.
Zhou Yue and Ah Zhong opened those books and placed them under the sun one by one. Zhou Yue was suddenly attracted by one of the pages: "After losing the elixir, I was reborn from the ashes. , so-called 'Phoenix Nirvana'."
There is also a short story attached below, which probably means that the ancient immortal emperor cut out his own nine-turn golden elixir with his own hands, and practiced it into "Phoenix Nirvana", so his strength increased greatly, and finally drove the devil emperor back to the demon world, blah blah blah .
Zhou Yue was a little speechless, flipping through the cover, and sure enough, this is not some serious secret book, but a strange novel, which records all kinds of weird legends and stories.
Zhou Yue vaguely remembered this so-called "Phoenix Nirvana" Dafa. He had seen it before, and he didn't care about it at the time. Now that he has read a lot of books, he shook his head again and again: "What nonsense? I don't know if there is any If people believe it, they really gouged out their own pills."
Ah Zhong stretched out his head to look, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingyue, in fact, there are still people who believe in this crooked way."
Zhou Yue asked in surprise, "Really?"
Ah Zhong is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and has a very lively temper. He immediately chattered: "A few days ago, didn't some outer disciples go crazy? It is said that they have gone on crooked ways."
Zhou Yue vaguely remembered this incident: "So that's how it is."
"Isn't it?" Ah Zhong looked around and lowered his voice, "By the way, Brother Qingyue, have you heard about it? Recently, there have been incidents of monks being dug out for golden pills alive. One of them is said to be Bi. The elder of Yun Temple."
Zhou Yue was slightly taken aback, and immediately remembered the case five years ago. Gu Ruhai forced Zhou Ran to write a book "Five Elements for Alchemy", and sent Qingfeng envoys and Mingyue envoys to collect the blood of virgin boys and girls, and dug up several gold medalists. The tomb of Brother Dan finally formed a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.
At that time, I guessed that the man in black who killed the younger sister of Yanbo Tower and kidnapped several boys and girls including Bai Chenyu was Qingfengshi, but after I returned to Lingxiao City, Qingfengshi never came back. So missing.
Although Gu Ruhai died a long time ago and the case was closed, the missing Qingfeng Envoy has never appeared again... Could it be that after Qingfeng Envoy learned about "Five Elements Changing Alchemy", he became ambitious and concealed his name from then on to study evil? Surgery gone?Now, in order to dig out the golden elixir, come out of the rivers and lakes again?
Zhou Yue thought about it for a while, but still couldn't think of a reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it, and worked hard with Ah Zhong on reading books.
As the sun rose gradually, the yard was filled with books, so the two hid under the shade of a tree and began to eat dry food.
Zhou Yue took out the cowhide kettle, and touched the dry food cloth bag in her arms, which contained two brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.
Zhou Yue touched the two pieces of glutinous rice cakes and hesitated a little. Gu Xuecheng was very familiar with the glutinous rice cakes he made. Just found out.
Well, Gu Xuecheng went to Yunxue Building today, so he definitely won't come here.
Ah Zhong asked suspiciously: "Brother Qingyue, don't you eat dry food? Didn't you turn into a golden elixir, you shouldn't have bigu."
"Of course I don't have bigu. I'm planning to eat it." Zhou Yue didn't hesitate anymore, took out a piece of glutinous rice cake, and started to eat slowly with the water in the kettle.
Just after eating half a piece, a voice came from the top of my head: "Hey, it tastes delicious."
Zhou Yue looked up and saw several servants standing in front of the two of them, looking at them maliciously.
The leading servant sneered and said, "You two, the backyard of the library hasn't been cleaned yet, why are you hiding here and being lazy? Aren't you afraid I'll tell the steward?"
Ah Zhong was taken aback, a little scared: "Brother Qingyue..."
"It's okay, the backyard is their territory, and it's not our responsibility." Zhou Yue frowned slightly, ignored the servants, lowered her head and continued to eat.
"What's your attitude? Brother Luo is talking to you!" A skinny servant jumped up, snatched the glutinous rice cake from Zhou Yue's hand, threw it on the ground with a "snap", and stomped hard on it.
