When the devil

【Yudu Outer Zongyuan Mountain】

After one night, the snow on Zongyuan Mountain never stopped.

Wei Ling wrapped himself up in the thick jacket sent by the Snow Wolf Army and fell asleep, holding the cat in his arms, and the cat slept more soundly than he did.At dawn, Bai Lie brought over two steamed buns, which had just been baked by the fire, and they were already cold within a few steps away.Wei Ling said thank you to him, took the bun and ate it, Xia Zhou sniffed the smell, got his head out of the bag, licked the bun with his small tongue, and mischievously licked Wei Ling's hand, but he hadn't touched it yet. Wei Ling stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth.

"It's time to go down the mountain in a while." Bai Lie's eyelashes were covered with snow, and his complexion looked a little pale in the cold wind. When he spoke, he looked in the direction of the mausoleum.

The wind blows the snow, covering the tall door in a vast expanse of whiteness.

"In the end, nothing happened." Xia Zhou couldn't bite the bun, and as soon as he let go of his mouth, the bun fell into the snow. Wei Ling picked it up, wiped off the snow, and put it next to the fire to continue roasting.

The fire burned all night, relying on a protruding rock to block the snow, someone helped them add materials, Wei Ling slept too deeply, and didn't notice anything.

"It's good that it didn't happen." Bai Lie withdrew his gaze, "What are you going to do later? If you want to accompany King You, I have to report to His Majesty."

Xia Zhou thought that Gu Xiao was in the mausoleum, so he opened his mouth and answered, "No need."

Wei Ling didn't care, and said, "Okay, please trouble General Bai."

Xia Zhou tilted his head to look at Wei Ling: "What's so good, is it possible that I have to stay in the bag for several days' journey from Huiyu?"

Wei Ling thought about it from Xia Zhou's point of view, and seemed to be quite uncomfortable. He rubbed the cat's head and said, "Why don't you go back first? I just happen to be a little worried about Zi Wan'er."

Xia Zhou scratched Wei Ling with his paws, and shrank back into the bag with a muffled sound.

At this time, the gate of the Mausoleum Temple opened, Bai Lie walked towards the Mausoleum Temple stepping on the snow, raised his finger and pointed to the sides, and everyone immediately stood up in line.The road in front of the Mausoleum Temple has been cleared of snow. The luxurious and shining dragon chariot is parked under the steps, becoming the most eye-catching color in the surrounding snow scene. There are golden curtains on the four corners, and there are beads on the golden curtains to ward off evil spirits. , When the wind blows, it shakes and makes a light sound.

When Gu Xiao came out, Bai Lie was waiting by his side. As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiao looked over Bai Xue to where Wei Ling was.

"He really went to report it." Xia Zhou muttered in his bag, "If that's the case, why bother to dress like a bandit?"

Wei Ling's eyes met Gu Xiao's, and he saw Gu Xiao raised his arm and waved to him from afar.

Not only Gu Xiao, Gu Yuan, Gu Xuancheng, but even Yue Erzhen looked over. Among them, Gu Yuan should be the one who reacted the most. He jumped to the front, raised his voice and shouted at Wei Ling: "Little-er, Wei Xianzun , come quickly, it’s freezing cold, don’t chill outside.”

Wei Ling stood up holding the cloth bag, thinking that Xia Zhou in his arms might not be able to hide anymore, he walked to the front of the dragon chariot against the wind and snow, and bowed his knees under the gaze of everyone: "Your Majesty."

Gu Xiao laughed: "Why are you dressed like this?"

"Father, the immortal is brought by me, ah, guard, guard." Gu Yuan immediately smoothed things over: "I didn't want to alarm everyone, so... let him dress plainly."

Gu Xiao hehe twice: "You are trying to fool my eyes."

Gu Yuan trembled in fright: "No, no, my son absolutely has no such intention."

Yue Erzhen spoke from the side: "Yuan'er has grown up and has her own thoughts. I think he invited the immortal to protect his safety. After all, in turbulent times, it is always good to be careful."

Gu Yuan was acting like a fool by the side, but he restrained himself, but his usual cleverness was completely wiped out.

Gu Xiao’s smile hadn’t faded away, and he started to cough again after being exposed to the cold wind. The little eunuch next to him immediately came to protect him and first got on the dragon chariot, but Gu Xiao turned around and patted Wei Ling: “You come up too, and chat with me .”

Just like that, Wei Ling was invited by Gu Xiao to the dragon chariot, accompanied by Yue Erzhen.

The inside of the dragon chariot is very spacious, with a small case, a stove is lit on the case, it is much warmer than the outside, there are books standing on the shelf in the corner, there are no seats beside the books, only soft cushions, Gu Xiao is sitting there, and the queen is next to him .

Before Wei Ling came up, she wanted to pass the cloth bag containing Xia Zhou to Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan said, "It's better for you to take it with you. I will sit with the crown prince later. I'm afraid they will fight."

Therefore, the cat in the cloth bag could not be handed over, so Wei Ling could only hold him.

It was the first time for Yue Erzhen and Wei Ling to face each other. The two of them knew each other and behaved very naturally, especially Yue Erzhen. She first took out a small incense burner and put it on the table, and put a black thing on it. I put it in the stove with a fire, and after a while, a faint fragrance wafted out. It was miraculous, and the smell inexplicably made people feel at ease and relaxed.

Perhaps because he noticed Wei Ling's gaze, Gu Xiao sighed softly, and said to Wei Ling: "Last night, I listened to the scriptures in the Mausoleum Temple all night, and my mind was not quiet. This aromatherapy is a kind of magic medicine from the Eastern Realm. , can soothe the nerves and calm down, the queen has always liked to use it."

When he said this, Wei Ling remembered that the herbal picker who was killed a few days ago contained this strange medicine. When Zi Wan'er explained it, she mentioned that the queen was very dependent on this medicine.

Gu Xiao leaned on the soft cushion behind him, and said lazily: "The empress is still not acclimatized after staying in Zhaoyang for so many years, thanks to the magnolia fairy from Liuli Mountain, who made this life-saving medicine."

Yue Erzhen lowered her head slightly, looking very shy.

"I heard that Fairy Yulan didn't come back to the human world." Gu Xiao changed the subject and glanced at Wei Ling: "Is she trapped? Or...?"

Wei Ling was ready to be told by Gu Xiao from the moment he boarded the dragon chariot. Without changing his face, Wei Ling replied flatly: "The fairy didn't come out before the barrier was closed."

Gu Xiao looked at him without moving: "I originally arranged for the Taili Academy to go to Yaoyu to bring Bai Lie back, but later I heard some other rumors that the Immortal Venerable was there at the time, why don't we talk about it to relieve fatigue?"

Based on the previous speculation, it was not Gu Xiao who ordered the Taili Academy to go to the Demon Realm, but the Queen Yue Erzhen. Although Gu Xiao said this to Wei Ling, Yue Erzhen who was next to him paused. The movement of the hand.

Wei Ling noticed this subtle change, his eyes seemed to meet Yue Erzhen, but only for a moment, Yue Erzhen looked down at the censer and continued to remain silent.

"I met Chen Xiao in the Demon Realm." Wei Ling said, "I only know about his submission to the imperial court."

Gu Xiao laughed loudly, then shook his head and said: "I can't say surrender. Chen Xiao is not a subject of mine, but a god invited from heaven. If he is willing to stay in Zhaoyang, that is Zhaoyang's blessing...Don't tell me, others In the Demon Realm, I also tried every means to send a message to me, asking me to serve him wine. In order to satisfy him, I invited all the Taoist priests in Zhaoyang to bring him wine in turn, hahaha..."

As soon as Chen Xiao was mentioned, Gu Xiao became interested. When he spoke in a hurry, he couldn't spare him if he coughed. Yue Erzhen wanted to pat him on the back, but Gu Xiao didn't want it. "There are very few Taoist priests who can go to the Demon Realm and come back. It takes a lot of cultivation to go once. I have a headache-but this year he has stopped. The last time he sent a letter was to Bai Lie at the beginning of the year. birthday gift to my son."

In Wei Ling's heart, Gu Xiao is always aloof, cruel, vicious, and has a frightening malice.He had never seen Gu Xiao look so energetic, his eyes were shining with nostalgia, flesh and blood with warmth, he was more like a living "person" than ever before.

"He has fully cultivated the immortal art." Wei Ling said with a smile: "He has completely become a lunatic."

It's a pity that mortals don't know what it means to be fully cultivated.

After hearing this, Gu Xiao didn't ask any more questions, but just laughed for a while.

The escorting team went all the way down the mountain, and it didn't take long before they left the range of the enchantment. Along the way, Wei Ling and Gu Xiao chatted about Chen Xiao.

Gu Xiaogui is a mortal emperor, usually eccentric and ruthless, everyone in the palace will be respectful and humble when they see him, but Gu Xiao is most annoyed by other people's submissive appearance, in this life, he meets a person who is not afraid of anything when he sees him ——Fengyue Celestial Master Chen Xiao.Gu Xiao admired him, and praised him as soon as he was mentioned, and today the topic came to Chen Xiao, so he didn't want to stop.From what he said, Wei Ling stopped a lot of new things. Chen Xiao's life in Yudu was so prosperous, and compared with the imprisoned Wei Ling, it was completely different.

All the way down, it is estimated that Gu Xiao's ears were scalded by Gu Xiao.

I thought this atmosphere would last forever, but Gu Xiao suddenly changed the subject just after leaving the barrier.

He said: "I can't hold back the one who is hiding in the stomach of the Immortal Venerable. Now that he is out of the barrier, let him out."

Wei Ling: "..."

The clothes on his body were tattered, and the cloth bag was also tattered. He hugged him in his arms. At first glance, it looked like he was in his "belly"...

"Who is hiding?"

Black smoke billowed around, shaking the bookshelves and small cases to rattle.

"Wait--"

Wei Ling made a sound to stop it, but it was too late, a certain cat who couldn't bear to be teased was very impatient, and turned into a human in front of the emperor and empress.There was a lot of movement, and the dragon chariot seemed to be on fire, and smoke was coming from the door curtains and windows.

The soldiers guarding around the dragon chariot were all frightened. They hadn't reached the bottom of the mountain yet, that is to say, they hadn't joined Yu Wanfeng yet. The only one who could fight along the way was Bai Lie. Lianzi was about to catch monsters, but Xia Zhou crossed his legs and pushed Wei Ling to the side. Yue Erzhen held her nose and looked disgusted, but Gu Xiao smiled all over her face, as if she was interested.

Xia Zhou: "Beauty Bai, it's cold, come in if you want, don't raise the curtain so high."

Bai Lie: "Presumptuous!"

Gu Xiao: "It's okay, let's go on."

Wei Ling: "..."

Yue Erzhen: "..."

Bai Lie was offended by the title Xia Zhou gave him, with fierce eyes, he loosened the curtain and left.However, he didn't retreat too far, he just squeezed into the driving seat and kept an eye on the movement inside.

Xia Zhou just turned into a human, with untied black hair hanging casually behind his back.Black smoke gathered on his body and turned into a black robe, the neckline was half open, revealing the lines of strong chest muscles, and the aura of publicity and desire was not concealed at all.

Gu Xiao's eyes fell on him, and he slowly went up to meet his eyes.

Wei Ling touched Xia Zhou and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around."

But when he touched it, Xia Zhou, who was already too crowded, thought he had squeezed into Wei Ling. He leaned back, picked up his slender legs and stepped on the cushion Yue Erzhen was sitting on. The evil spirit made Yue Erzhen clenched her sleeves tightly with her fingertips.

"You started this matter first, Emperor." Xia Zhou twitched his lips and smiled, "You used to torture my wife, let's settle it today."
