what?

who is talking?

The young man heard someone talking in a daze, looked around, and found that he seemed to be in a large hall.The lighting and shadows of the surrounding furnishings were chaotic, making it difficult to see clearly, but it gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling.

In the main hall, there were two figures, one in ink and one in white, sitting opposite each other across the table. You could vaguely hear them talking, but you couldn't hear them clearly.The young man wanted to step forward to listen carefully, but just as he took a step, the black figure suddenly turned his head towards him.The man's facial features were blurred, but he somehow felt that the holes that belonged to his eyes were staring at him.

The young man was shocked suddenly, and before he could react, the world also changed suddenly.

The surrounding area was still bright just now, but it suddenly became dark at this moment.The surrounding things changed from the simple and atmospheric furnishings in the hall to rows of trees.At some point, a man in black appeared in front of him, almost blending into the surrounding night.

Looking at the black clothes, the young man immediately thought of the group of people who assassinated him just now, and subconsciously wanted to run, but his body didn't obey, and he stood on the spot holding a sword to face the people.

I saw the man strolling towards with the sword in hand, said something sinisterly, before waiting for a response, he suddenly got into trouble, and slashed straight at the face.

Before the young man could react, his body took the first step.He felt his right hand stretch out the sword to block the blade, turned around to release the force, turned back and stabbed with the sword.A set of combos is like flowing water, without any sloppiness.

The man also dodged sideways very deftly, and turned to attack with a sword.The speed is so fast and the strength is astonishing, the two of them have passed several moves in an instant.A moment later, the man lost to the young man in martial arts, and was wounded all over his body, but instead of being angry, he smiled, took a few steps back and shook something from his cuff, and then a cloud of mist floated out, covering the man and his snow-white body. The blades are covered.

The man raised his sword to strike again, but the young man still raised his sword to block.Originally thought that the man was seriously injured and it was the end of his strength, this move was just a desperate fight, who knew that the two swords collided, and the mist on the man's sword hit him.

The boy felt that he pushed back the mist with his breath, and the next second he felt a shock in his chest.In just a moment, the whole person was knocked back a few feet away, and he knelt down on one knee, using his sword to support the ground so as not to fall down, and spewed out a mouthful of blood.

The man couldn't stop laughing wildly when he saw this, then raised his sword and attacked again.The young man forced himself to stand up and dodge, his figure was no longer as light as before, and the mist was accompanied by the sword blade slamming left and right, the young man was unable to dodge and was stabbed several times in a row, but he dared not fight back.

The man became more and more excited watching the boy's getting heavier and heavier, and even started to deliberately not attack the vitals as if playing with him, as if he was enjoying watching him covered in blood.

The man approached all the way, the boy retreated all the way, and finally retreated to the edge of the cliff with no way to retreat, the man put away his sly smile, said something viciously, and slapped the boy.

The young man only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, the things in front of him had turned into blue sky and white clouds.

The young man took a few breaths in shock, and didn't recover from the thrill of falling off the cliff for a while, and it took him a while to realize that it was just a dream.Even so, he couldn't help reaching out to stroke his chest when he sat up.

"you're awake?"

The young man was startled by the sudden voice, followed the sound vigilantly, and saw a man in white robe and green shirt sitting in meditation with his eyes closed on a round stone not far away.

The mountain stream at the foot flows gently among the rocks, the dense forest behind is lush and lush, and birds occasionally fly by under the blue sky and white clouds.The boy was stunned for a moment.

The man noticed the boy's gaze and looked up at him.

The young man was caught off guard and looked at the man, feeling a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly and said: "Dare to ask your Excellency... who is it?"

The man said: "I am Zhu Lingyu, a disciple of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect. This time I went up the mountain to find my senior brother. I passed by here and rescued you."

Hearing this, the young man noticed that the wound on his right arm had been bandaged, and his body felt refreshed.Thinking about waking up, he didn't see the person who attacked him last night, and he was probably driven away by the person in front of him, so he relaxed his vigilance and stood up to thank him.

Zhu Lingyu realized in advance that raising his hand interrupted him.

"You don't need to thank me, it's easy to do. But who are you, why do you carry my brother's token on you, have you seen him before?"

keepsake?What token?The boy was taken aback, and looked at him puzzled.

Zhu Lingyu watched the boy's eyes move down, and motioned him to look at his left hand.Only then did the young man realize that he was holding something tightly in his left hand, and there was a faint stream of light overflowing between his fingers.

Spreading out his palm, he saw that it was a small chalcedony pendant, translucent and crystal clear, but there was a faint ink color at the bottom, like cotton made of jade with poor quality, but it didn't quite look like it.

The young man suddenly remembered the light that flashed before his eyes when he was knocked off the cliff with a palm in his dream, and now he saw this chalcedony radiant, no different from what he saw in his dream, presumably it was this thing.Could it be that what I saw in my dream was what the owner of this chalcedony experienced before falling off the cliff?

Wait, fell off a cliff?

The young man remembered that he heard the sound of heavy objects falling into the water last night before he passed out. Could it be that the owner of the chalcedony fell from the cliff?

Isn't the person who attacked me here last night the chalcedony owner?

But if this is the case, how could the person in front of him who claimed to be Zhu Lingyu and the owner of Chalcedony be brothers and sisters, so how could he save him?And if it wasn't for this person looking for chalcedony, and the smell of blood emanating from his drowsy body, he might have been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.

The young man raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Lingyuan again, and saw that his demeanor was really pure and elegant, and he didn't look like someone who was planning to do something wrong.After thinking about it for a while, he still told all about his experience before he passed out and what happened in his dream, and offered the chalcedony.

Zhu Lingyou heard the words and took the chalcedony, and couldn't help frowning when she saw the ink in the chalcedony.

Chalcedony is a psychic thing, which can reflect their physical condition and spiritual power fluctuations.Every disciple started to wear it from the day he started, and never left his body. He also relied on the chalcedony of his senior brother to find this place all the way.Unexpectedly, when they came excitedly, they didn't see the senior brother, but picked up a boy.The boy frowned tightly in his sleep and was still holding on to the chalcedony, he couldn't break it apart, so he had to wait for the boy to wake up and ask again.

According to what the young man said, the senior brother met the evil cultivator here and fought with others. I don't know what tricks the evil cultivator used to make him unable to resist and was knocked off the cliff.Brother's cultivation base is not low, even if he falls from a cliff, he will not die.Although the streak of ink in the chalcedony showed that he was more or less eroded by resentment, the chalcedony was still shining, which meant that he was in a very good state, even in a state of abundant spiritual energy.

The boy said that he was knocked unconscious by someone after he was exhausted, but when he picked up the boy, he didn't find any internal injuries on his body, nor did he find anyone else.

Maybe the person who attacked him was beaten away by a passing brother, but why didn't he just save the boy?Unless the senior brother has other important matters, don't delay.But that being the case, why did you hand over the token to him?Could it be that there is something unique about this young man, the senior brother knew that he would find it along the chalcedony, so he specially gave the things to the young man and entrusted the young man to him?

Zhu Lingyou thought about it for a long time. He didn't take a good look at him when he rescued him in the middle of the night, but now he looked up and saw that the boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old.He has a tall and straight figure, wearing a dark green gown, wearing jade around his waist, and wearing a hairpin. Even though he is running in the mountains in the middle of the night and his body is full of mud, he still does not lose his demeanor and extraordinary bearing.Presumably he is the son of a wealthy family.

Zhu Lingyu thought for a while, and said seriously: "Since my senior brother entrusted this thing to you, I will naturally not leave you alone, you..."

Seeing people looking at him, the young man paused for a long time, and then remembered that he had not reported his family to the other party so far, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Chun Yuyan."

"Chunyu? What is your relationship with the current monarch?"

"The current monarch is my father."

Zhu Lingyou raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that he was still a little prince, and his status was indeed unusual. It seems that he guessed right.

"Your Highness, who knows who killed you in the mountain road robbery, what are your plans now?"

"Don't dare to do it, sir, save my life, just call me by my real name. I was ordered by my father to go to Weizhou to supervise the construction of dams to control the floods, but I was robbed halfway..." Chunyu Yan continued after a pause, "Now that the documents and tokens have been lost, I can't prove my identity when I go there. I can only go back to the capital palace first, and then report the reason to my father."

Zhu Lingyu nodded: "Then I will escort you back to the mansion safely. There is no need to delay, let's set off immediately."

After all, without waiting for anyone to respond, he got up and was about to lead the way.Chunyuyan hurriedly followed, and within two steps, he suddenly felt a stir in his stomach, and then there was a grunting sound.

Zhu Lingyu turned her head in surprise when she heard the sound in front of her, and seeing Chunyuyan covering her stomach with embarrassment, she couldn't help but smiled, and said helplessly: "Oh, I forgot that you still have to eat. You Stay here and don't move, I'll be back in a while."

He jumped into the woods after speaking a few steps, and came back with a few tits in a short while. He washed and plucked the fluff by the mountain stream, strung them together with twigs, and picked some dead branches to set up a fire, and roasted them on the spot.

Although here is the wilderness, the cooking is not seasoned, but the fat of the chickadee is sizzling under the grill, and it has a special taste.

Zhu Lingyu handed the roasted tit to Chunyuyan, who hesitated for a while but didn't take it.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Practitioners have long since grown grains, so they don't need to eat." After Zhu Lingyou said that, he handed over the tit, and Chunyuyan took it.

"Could it be that you are really a fairy?"

"Of course not. If I were really an immortal, I would have taken you to your house to eat delicious food and wine. Why come to catch this tit and eat it. I am just a person who cultivates immortality and asks for it. I hope that one day I will be able to ascend the Tao."

"I didn't expect there to be people cultivating immortals. It turns out that the folk rumors are true. It's just that Xuanqing Mountain is also a well-known fairy mountain. Why have I never heard of any sects in the mountain before?"

"There is a restriction in the mountain. If ordinary people enter, they can only see a green mountain and nothing else. If they are members of my sect, they can see the true face of Xuanqing Mountain."

Lishan is not too far from the capital city, and it takes seven days to drive day and night.The two walked down the mountain all the way, and ate the wild game in the mountains when they were hungry, and found an open place to light a fire at night to rest on the spot.It's just that Chunyuyan woke up suddenly at night and found that Zhu Lingyu didn't rest, and was meditating aside every night until dawn, and asked him that he only said that practitioners don't need to sleep.

After entering the city, Chunyuyan exchanged the jade pendant for some silver coins, and found an inn to stay, because Zhu Lingyou said earlier that he didn't need to sleep, so he only needed a room.Unexpectedly, Chunyuyan took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and when he came back, he found him fast asleep on the couch.Thinking about the fact that he didn't sleep all night on the mountain, maybe it wasn't that he didn't feel tired, but that he was guarding himself.Feeling grateful at the moment, he carefully covered him with the quilt on the bed, and slept with his clothes on.

It was just after Lixia, and it was still a little cool at night.At first, he didn't feel much about falling asleep around the fire in the mountains, but now lying on the bed, Chunyuyan only felt very cold, so he could only ask Xiao Er for another blanket.

The two had a good night's rest in the inn, prepared some food the next day, hired a driver, and it took half a month to reach the capital.

When the chariot was outside the gate of the capital, the charioteer reined in the reins.Zhu Lingyu got out of the carriage first, stretched his muscles and bones, looked at the big word "Fu'an" on the city gate and let out a long sigh of relief: "It can be regarded as arriving. Your Highness, when you return to the mansion safely, I should return to Xuan Clearing the mountain."

Chunyuyan lifted the curtain from the car and was taken aback when he heard the words.

The two have been together for more than ten days, and Zhu Lingyou has always taken good care of him. He has long regarded each other as a trustworthy brother and friend, but it is a pity that they just meet by chance and there is always a difference.

Thinking of this, Chunyuyan couldn't help feeling lonely.

"...Yes, thank you Brother Zhu for sending me all the way. You saved my life and took care of me a lot, but I haven't been able to repay you well. I'm really ashamed."

"Why do you need to talk about this? I think this capital city is really very prosperous, completely different from those small cities before. If you really want to thank me, go back to the mansion and get some more money, and show me the fireworks in your world. Although I don't You won't feel hungry if you need to eat, but you can also eat and drink, no one will refuse good food and wine." Zhu Lingyou said happily.

Hearing this, Chunyuyan recalled that this person said that practitioners don't need to sleep, but ended up sleeping soundly in the inn, so he couldn't help smiling and said: "That's natural, I will treat you well as a landlord."

Fu'an City is the capital of Dayan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most prosperous city in the world.In the meantime, there are cloth shops in restaurants, tea shops, music workshops, and cloths of various colors to welcome the wind and waves.The shouts of the candy blowers' stalls and shopkeepers can be heard endlessly, and there are jugglers and performers on the street, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

Zhu Lingyu has been fascinated by the bustling things in front of him since he entered the city.The Xuanqing Mountain School is a sect of cultivating immortals, and has always adhered to the style of pure heart and asceticism. Naturally, there is no such phenomenon.Although the disciples of the sect would go down the mountain to buy things from time to time, or drive away evil spirits for the people, most of them went to small border towns, and had never seen such a bustling city.

Chunyuyan usually likes to be quiet, and he deliberately bypasses the downtown area when he goes in and out of the city, but since he entered the city center today, he always feels that something is wrong.Seeing Zhu Lingyu's appearance again, I also found it interesting in my heart, so I simply followed him on the road back home from the downtown area, introducing him to the beautiful scenery and interesting things in the city.

"Crossing this street is my mansion." Chunyuyan raised his finger to show Zhu Lingyu, "You can have a good rest tonight, and I'll..."

Chunyuyan's joyful words came to an abrupt end.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhu Lingyu was waiting for him to explain where he would take her to see and see tomorrow, when he suddenly stopped silently.

Zhu Lingyou looked at him suspiciously, and seeing that he was speechless, she looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw that the gate of the mansion not far away was closed, with mourning banners hanging on the door, and white lanterns lit on the porch.

He was actually doing nonsense.
