When the devil

For the next few days, Wei Ling was busy rebuilding the enchantment of Liuli Mountain. After Cang Lin's death, the enchantment required more mana than usual to support it. During this period, Cheng Yingjie sealed Liuli Mountain in the name of Taili Academy. Although Meng Lanzhou was unwilling to have anything to do with the forces in the imperial city, there was no other way at the moment. In order to temporarily stabilize the chaos in the mountains, he had to compromise in the end.

It has been raining for several days, seemingly silently announcing the end of late autumn.Wei Ling hadn't closed his eyes for a long time, and he was much haggard. He had done everything he could do, thinking that it was almost time to leave Liuli Mountain, but just as the thought came to him, he suddenly remembered that Qian Gu Ling was still on him, In the end, you still have to go back.

Meng Lanzhou had been sitting alone in the punishment hall for a whole day. It was a place where the disciples who made mistakes closed their doors and pondered over their mistakes. Surrounded by a sea of ​​bamboo, except for the sound of the rain hitting the bamboo leaves, there was nothing but darkness.

Wei Ling found a place to take shelter from the rain and waited until dawn. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and seemed to have fallen asleep in a half-dream. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed, he opened his eyes and saw Meng Lanzhou standing in front of him.

"Elder."

Wei Ling got up quickly, her voice a little hoarse.

These days, he has been busy with the follow-up matters in Liuli Mountain, and he has transformed himself from a pure and pure beauty into a thousand-year-old fermented pickle.Today, when he had some free time, he changed into a dark blue robe, combed his hair again, and his pale face finally looked human.Meng Lanzhou looked at him dazed and pitiful, like a little animal with nowhere to go, pure and innocent, quiet and well-behaved, no matter how many thoughts were in his heart, he couldn't bear to leave him alone.

After standing still, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.Meng Lanzhou rubbed her temples, and said in a low voice, "Fairy Yulan and I can handle the rest, thank you for your hard work these days."

"I got something by chance, and I wanted to return it to Liuli Mountain." Wei Ling took out the Thousand Bone Bell that she carried with her, and handed it to Meng Lanzhou.

"Thousand bone bell?" Meng Lanzhou was slightly surprised: "Why is it in your hands?"

Wei Ling: "Some reasons."

The answer was really perfunctory, and obviously he didn't want to talk about it. Since Meng Lanzhou pressed Wei Ling in every possible way last time, the two of them never had a chance to sit down and have a good talk.

After so many years, how could he not know what kind of person Wei Ling is.

Glancing at the vast mountain road, he said: "If the Immortal has time, please walk with me again."

Wei Ling nodded, and replied in a gentle voice: "Okay."

Along the way, Meng Lanzhou talked about a lot of past things on his own. Wei Ling didn't talk much, but just listened carefully. When he was still in Liuli Mountain in the early years, he only cared about his two disciples, and the rest He never asked questions, and lived a calm life. Now it sounds like he has heard many things for the first time, and his face is a little surprised. Seeing his humble attitude, Meng Lanzhou has mixed feelings in his heart.

"In the past, your adoptive father liked to put on an attitude of rejecting others, but you have inherited it intact. The disciples think you are aloof, cold and aloof. Only I know that you and your adoptive father are heartless. No matter what the pain is, I bite the bullet and bear it, and I don’t want to say a word when I bear it to the end.”

Wei Ling smiled wryly, and said, "The elder is bothering you."

Hearing his obedient words, Meng Lanzhou couldn't help feeling pity again in his heart. As the oldest person among the Four Great Immortals, Meng Lanzhou always maintained a stern and harsh attitude. No matter if his disciples were afraid of him, other elders in the mountain would also be afraid of him when they saw him. Avoid if you can, but Wei Ling is always respectful and polite in front of him, no matter how much he complains, he doesn't take it to heart.Although Meng Lanzhou knew that Wei Ling should put his words in one ear and out the other, but docile people are always attractive.

Many times, Meng Lanzhou felt that Wei Ling was living in the shadow left by his adoptive father, He Yu, but now it seems that although Wei Ling was gentle in person, he was actually more stubborn than his adoptive father.

"Yu Wu has not fully awakened yet, and now he is affected by human nature, and his words and deeds are not as simple as ordinary monsters." Meng Lanzhou said suddenly: "Human nature is his biggest weakness. Once he misses the opportunity, it will be difficult to deal with."

Wei Ling nodded quietly.

Whether it's Shen Hua or Meng Lanzhou, the topic can't be avoided all the time, even though Wei Ling knows that Meng Lanzhou's words just now are intended to resolve the previous conflict.

He followed Meng Lanzhou all the way, the pattering rain surrounded him, and there was weak mana around him. The rain was not close to him, and it turned into a hazy film.

Meng Lanzhou said slowly: "However, if there is an inner ghost in the mountain because of the troubles like this, I am afraid that his identity will not be able to be hidden. Immortal Venerable, you must be more careful when you walk with him in the future."

Wei Ling was slightly taken aback, and caught the word "inner ghost" from Meng Lanzhou's words. With Meng Lanzhou's temperament, if the truth is not in front of him, he would never doubt himself easily with his personality: "...Elder, can it be what have you found?"

Meng Lanzhou's complexion was heavy, and there was annoyance in his words: "A few days ago, I personally went to see all the teleportation arrays on Liuli Mountain. It has long been lurking in the mountains."

Wei Ling pondered for a moment, and said, "What if the Eastern Realm people lurking in didn't come from the teleportation array?"

Meng Lanzhou was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Wei Lin said: "That day there were evil spirits in the mountains, and they attacked in groups. Some of them came from the teleportation array, but the other part, especially those from the East who are proficient in sorcery, were summoned. In my humble opinion, they may have pretended to be disciples Dive into the mountains... bide your time."

Hearing this, Meng Lanzhou gasped, his beard flew up and down, and his eyebrows frowned into the word "Chuan": "If you are unfortunate enough to be right, if you walk like this, will the enemy hiding in the dark be the same as my Liulishan?" What a deep hatred."

"Canglin has gone, they failed." Wei Ling said: "With this awareness, maybe they won't let it go."

While the two were talking, they had unknowingly walked to the gate in front of the mountain. Wei Ling stopped and looked back at the main hall in the rain. where?"

Wei Ling said: "Go to Jinchuan first, and then go to the imperial city."

Meng Lanzhou breathed out and murmured, "Are you going...to return to the imperial city?"

I didn't expect to mention the imperial city now, but the word "hui" was used.

"The catastrophe I caused, I am the only one who can stop it." Wei Ling gave a wry smile, and bowed solemnly to Meng Lanzhou: "Please also ask the elder to send my greetings to Fairy Yulan, and forgive Wei Ling for leaving without saying goodbye."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked forward for the second time, looking at the all-too-familiar main hall of Liuli Mountain.

He thought, once he went this time, when would he come back.

The longer you think about it, the more beautiful your thoughts become.

"After Cang Lin's death, many things will change." Meng Lanzhou said softly: "Immortal Venerable, if you feel tired, you can come back anytime."

Wei Ling paused for a moment, then said softly, "Thank you."

"take care."

Wei Ling was quiet and courteous, turned and left in the haze of mist and rain.

Many times, people will always have the illusion that if one thing changes, many things will change accordingly.

But for Liuli City, it was nothing more than a chaos on the mountain, and many people died.

The weather is getting colder, the autumn is over and the winter solstice is over, there is more hot wine in the inn, and white smoke rises from the steamer. People from Tailiyuan searched for traces of monsters from house to house.

Day after day, nothing changes.

Wei Ling stepped over the steps and walked down the mountain slowly.

Mochi was waiting for him in the rain, with a bamboo hat covering most of his face.

Murong Chenhao pretended to be him before, just for the sake of his appearance, and did not intend to deceive others, but today when he saw Mochi again, he changed from his sunny temperament in the past, and looked a little lonely. Wei Ling knew that he was thinking of others. My child, I have swallowed all the bitterness these days to the bottom of my heart.

Wei Ling helped him straighten the bamboo hat: "I plan to go to Shuiyue Pavilion first, and then go to Jinchuan."

Mochi raised his head, and the rain fell on his bamboo hat with a splash, and then followed him to look up, and flowed down the edge of the bamboo hat with a splash.

Wei Ling asked him, "Shall we go together?"

"Go!" Mo Chi took a step forward, closely following Wei Ling: "I will go wherever Master goes."

Since Xia Zhou was injured by Wei Ling last time, it has been nearly ten days since Xia Zhou was seen. He seemed to disappear out of thin air without leaving a trace of breath.

He is 梼杌, a fierce beast.

The sword wound passed through his body, it was a serious injury to a mortal, but he didn't know how to measure it to Wu Wu.He has cultivated for many years, and he is extremely sensitive to evil spirits and murderous intentions. At that time, it was a conditioned reflex without thinking about it. Now that he thinks about it, it was indeed his own mistake.

Wei Ling thought silently.

The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and the more confused I become.

The master and apprentice walked out of the mountain gate with their own thoughts, and when they were about to discuss how to get there, a carriage dropped from the sky.

You read that right, it fell from the sky, and the two horses that fell "hummed" a few times, and they tossed and turned in the rain for a long time before turning over.

Afterwards, from behind the curtain of the carriage, Guo saw that Chao was like a dying crucian carp, his eyes turned white and he slid to the ground, before his face touched the ground, Murong Chenhao grabbed his leg with one hand and dragged him back.

"Mr. Wei, what a coincidence." Murong Chenhao dragged Guo Jianchao back to the carriage, then turned over and jumped to the front of the carriage gracefully: "Master Guo just happened to be going back to Jinchuan, and in order to thank you for your care, he sent a carriage here. .”

Wei Ling: "..."

Seeing Guo Jianchao foaming at the mouth and unconscious, Mo Chi felt a grievance that could not be expressed, and mourned for him from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother!" Zi Wan'er's little head poked out from the window of the carriage: "Brother! Brother! Get in the car!"

Her elder brother yelled sweetly and loudly, her smiling face was round and red, and her smile was even more blooming.

"Get in the car?" Murong Chenhao asked.

"Ah."

Wei Ling had no reason to refuse, and obediently got into the car, but when he stepped in, he was stunned.

This carriage was not considered spacious, Xia Zhou occupied one side by himself, propped his chin with his right hand, ate grapes with his left hand, stretched his two long legs intertwined, and Zi Wan'er beat and kneaded hard for him.

What kind of picture is this of unscrupulous officials persecuting immature girls to do coolies?

Xia Zhou swallowed a grape, raised his leg, and pushed aside Zi Wan'er's hand in disgust: "Your technique is too bad, it's better for Ah Ling to press it comfortably, Ah Ling, it's been a long time since you rubbed it for me. "

Wei Ling thought that Xia Zhou would hide in a corner and sulk at him, but when he saw it, he acted as if nothing had happened.

"Brother, brother, sit next to me!" Zi Wan'er patted her side happily.

Wei Ling responded, and before she could sit down, Xia Zhou carried Zi Wan'er to the opposite side, and sat down next to Wei Ling.

Wei Ling looked at him for a long time, his complexion was rosy, his limbs were sound, he didn't look like a wounded person.He said: "Major Xia Ge, please send me to the northwest gate."

Since Xia Zhou is fine, the trip to Shuiyue Pavilion can be skipped.Cheng Yingjie once told Wei Ling that he would settle down at the post station near the Northwest Gate, and it would be the best policy to meet him first and then go to Jinchuan together.

Xia Zhou said: "Aren't you going to Jinchuan? Just drop by."

Wei Ling asked strangely, "Are you going to Jinchuan too?"

Xia Zhou giggled and said, "After all, you and I have a close relationship. Where there is you, there will always be me." Then, he picked up a grape from the fruit plate and handed it to Wei Ling: "Come on, open your mouth, ah— —”

Wei Ling: "Eat it by yourself...well."

As soon as he spoke, Xia Zhou threw the grape into his mouth.

As long as the thing in his mouth is not poison, Wei Ling will not spit it out in public, and his beautiful eyes can only glisten with dissatisfaction, obediently eat the grapes.

Mo Chi sat across from him, staring fiercely at Xia Zhou.

Zi Wan'er sat next to him, staring fiercely at Xia Zhou together with him.

Xia Zhou was born with soft bones, he could sit but never stand, and he could lie down and never sit. Not long after changing, he leaned lazily and chattered slowly: "I have an appointment with my friend in Jinchuan , I think the journey will take several days, the autumn wind is howling, the chill is miserable, why not have someone to accompany you."

"Friend?" Wei Ling looked at him, "I don't know how anyone can be friends with Master Xia?"

Xia Zhou pretended to be mysterious: "When I arrive in Jinchuan, I will bring him to see you."

The vicious beast Wu Wu even said that he would introduce a friend to Wei Ling. What kind of strange experience is this?

Wei Ling was a little concerned, and tilted his head to look at Xia Zhou. Xia Zhou was also looking at him with love, feeling strange in his heart, and turned his eyes away again.

At this time, Murong Chenhao set off in the carriage, Guo Jianchao was still lying on the ground and no one was watching him, when the carriage shook, he rolled from one side to the other, and continued to be unconscious.

After a while, Wei Ling asked again, "Why do you consider him a friend?"

Xia Zhou said: "I am a kind person who knows how to repay kindness. In the past, he gave me a little kindness, but I just repay him with a spring."

Wei Ling became even more curious, and said, "There are times when you need a little favor from others?"

"The title deed of the Shuiyue Pavilion was given by him, and the money for daily living was also allocated by him. When the sect was first established, the Guo family once came to make trouble, but the next day they greeted them with a smile on their faces. Help."

The grace of this drop of water, I am afraid that it will be enough to form the sea!

This mysterious friend already had an omnipotent image in Wei Ling's mind, which made him smile wryly: "Dare to ask Master Xia, is your friend the Emperor?"

Xia Zhou smiled: "Don't worry, it's not."

Wei Ling thought: as long as it is not the emperor, anyone will do.
