The Book on the Pillow: The Sea and Moonlight

A few days ago, he hadn't heard from the lord, and he didn't find any clues in the camp, so Donghua thought he couldn't waste it, and devoted himself to recovering his cultivation.Unexpectedly, after three or four days, when they went out of the tent again, they realized that something was wrong. Although the army was still safe, there were really fewer people coming and going.There is no war, why?

He didn't want to find Zheyan, but it's not easy to inquire about this matter casually, and he couldn't find the master for a while, so he had to drag the old Fenghuang over to ask.It's just that I don't know if he was beaten up a while ago, but he hasn't even been seen recently.

It's not that easy to hide!Donghua raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

It was night, in the woods one mile away from the army camp, a short figure sneaked around the densest trees for a while, lay down under this tree and watched for a while, then rolled to another tree. He repeated his old tricks under the tree, and finally hid behind the tree trunk and learned the night owl call, which sounded a bit creepy.

In a shadowy tree shadow, the inconspicuous canopy swayed slightly, and a lazy voice came: "Okay, that's ugly! Didn't anyone see it?"

The short and stubby little drug boy replied out of breath: "No, no, I should be careful, I even made a few laps on the road!"

"Who will come to find me today?"

The little Yaotong thought about it seriously: "The Immortal Wenchang came to look for you twice, and there is nothing else."

"Hey, it's a good thing I'm so good at predicting things! Be smart, if he comes back tomorrow, you still say you don't know!"

The little Yaotong nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Didn't you take Xianjun's pulse a few days ago, don't you need to go now?"

"Tsk, I can't die anyway, and it doesn't matter if I drink a few bowls of medicine, let him attack so hard!" I didn't know where I touched, and after a burst of gasping, the man asked impatiently: "Where is the wine you asked to take? "

The little drug boy took out an exquisite wine jug from his arms and handed it up: "Here, here it is! If the lord is not here, I wouldn't dare to take it!"

"What are you afraid of! It was originally taken from me. Donghua never cared about it. Since he went out, he just used it to satisfy my greed!" A hand reached down from the tree, took the wine pot, He opened it indifferently and drank a few mouthfuls, but coughed unexpectedly, "Ahem, cough, what the hell is this!"

What else could it be if it wasn't wine?He sniffed it when he took it.

The little drug boy was wondering, but he heard a flat voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Oh, the master has gone out?"

In the silence, a human voice suddenly sounded, and the two people above and below the tree were all startled.

The little drug boy was already timid, and when he saw someone approaching, he felt timid, thinking of how many lies he had told in the past two days, he shivered and hid behind the tree.

Zheyan Ben crossed Erlang's legs and groaned, but somehow the taste of the fine wine he used to cheer him up had changed. He was leaning over to look at the jug when he heard the sound and fell from the canopy without noticing it. His eyes and mouth were blackened. A black and blue face was exposed in the moonlight.

A few steps away from them, the young man in dark robes was hidden in the night, his graceful face was glowing jade-colored under the bright moonlight. Like a scene in the world.Only the tall and straight shoulders did not show a trace of softness, and the not so stalwart body exuded an aura of elegance, detachment, and mastery.

Zheyan always felt that he was ridiculed by that person, so he cursed in a low voice: "The ghost lingers!" Not losing his demeanor, he secretly rubbed his painful waist and hips, got up from the ground, and sprinkled water on his hands. With little wine left, he asked, "You changed my wine?"

Donghua didn't answer: "You haven't answered me yet, is the Lord not in the camp?"

Zheyan was taken aback, and sneered, "Immortal Wenchang has a serious tone, why should I tell you the whereabouts of the lord!" At this moment, he no longer covered the unhealed wound, straightened his body and prepared to talk to the arrogant Wenchang reason.

The person on the opposite side was not as gentle as usual, his face was as cold as the moonlight: "I'll ask again, is the master not in the camp? Zheyan, this is very important!"

His gaze fell directly on Zheyan's face, his cold and expressionless expression made Old Fenghuang aggrieved and upset, somehow he was stared down, he couldn't care less about the presumptuousness of someone calling names , struggling and shaking his head, rolled his eyes: "It's not a secret that the lord took people to surrender, you just don't know anything!"

Donghua really didn't know, these few days he was very selfless in his cultivation in order to catch up with time, he didn't pay much attention to the movement around him, maybe he missed it.Kuang Daying has no acquaintances and friends in the camp, so naturally he will not pass on the news.

Old Fenghuang looked like he disliked bumpkins, but he just wanted to provoke the other party to save some face, who knew that the other party didn't care, and instead followed his words and asked, "Where are you going to accept the surrender?"

"Yanshan." Zheyan didn't understand how he could answer so smoothly, and it was too late to shut up.

However, Donghua didn't seem to be puzzled. He frowned and thought for a while, then asked a question that Zheyan couldn't figure out: "...Is there a valley called Yuyi?"

Leaving other things aside, Zheyan can answer all questions of those who are open-minded. Otherwise, how can he show his eloquence that is unprecedented and unprecedented?Nowadays, it is rare for the person opposite to lower his posture, and Zheyan thinks that it is humbly asking for advice if he is reluctant, and besides, he has answered one or two questions before, and he doesn't care about one more, so he replied very smoothly: "Yes, there are people in the south of Yanshan Mountain. Gu Yuyi has grown a lot of strange birds, and the place where he was surrendered this time is not far from here..."

Before the words finished, he saw the face of the person opposite changed, which made Zheyan, who was still about to chatter, slow down uncertainly. Who would have thought that the next moment, he would be interrupted without hesitation. This Wenchang, who disliked Zheyan so much, grabbed his arm and ordered him: "Purge your subordinates as soon as possible, and the matter of accepting surrender may change!"

Originally, Donghua was looking for Zheyan, just to ask about his whereabouts, and by the way, play tricks on this troublesome guy.

He naturally knew why Zheyan was hiding from him, probably because the imprint on his face with his own hands that day was not yet complete.In the past few days, he didn't even come for the regular pulse check. I think he was very upset, and he wanted to make him suffer.

The old Phoenix's ability to hide and sulk when he can't beat him, and to try his best to wear small shoes, is really like a day for hundreds of thousands of years!I can't tell where I'm hiding in the woods, it's either a sycamore tree or a peach tree, a pear tree, and a crabapple tree. I can't find any big tricks, and my nature is hard to change.

It was a coincidence to meet the little drug boy sneaking out of the big tent.Could it be that the lord's big tent is where idlers come in and out at will?The little drug boy probed his head and thought that no one had noticed, but in fact he had already been under the watchful eyes of the public, but the army knew that he was working for Zheyan, and it was not once or twice that he sneaked in to get wine, it was just a habit.

Donghua was different. Seeing the little drug boy's actions, he immediately realized that the lord was probably not in the army, and felt that it might have something to do with Zheyan who was hiding, so he followed him quietly, and on the way he filled a jug full of wine. Replaced with a genuine pot of vinegar, just waiting to see a joke.

Unexpectedly, although the whereabouts of the old phoenix were confirmed, Zheyan also confirmed the news that the lord was not in the army.Where did you go?What to do?While doubts arose, it seemed that what he had worried about these days had been confirmed. He had a palpitation for no reason, and he realized that things were not simple.

The two place names of Yanshan and Yuyi are no strangers, but they are not outstanding in his memory.But when it comes to the strange birds in the Yuyi Valley, it reminds him of those strange pictures, there are indeed some strange birds behind the corpses, and he can't help but have some unpleasant associations.

Since the last world, the world he is in is not exactly the same as when he came here. The world is so mysterious, even if he meets the same people, or even has a similar experience, it is difficult to say that it is the same person and the same thing.

Sometimes he even has some strange ideas, if Xiaobai is there, which one would he think is himself?Do you choose the same appearance and personality, or choose the same memory experience?

He seems to be walking an unpredictable maze. The familiar background is more confusing than real, and he must not try to figure it out with experience, because the road ahead will fork at any time.And what guides him forward is actually not memory, but some kind of indescribable premonition.He used this premonition to go step by step to know what he would encounter, but if he wanted to explain where the premonition came from, he could only end it with the sentence "I have my own arrangements in the dark".

However, since the causes and conditions arise, it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye.The hard part is how to make others believe in themselves.

For example, at this time, Zheyan squinted his eyes and said, "You order me!" If it weren't for the wound on his face still reminding him of the gap in strength, he might have to ask bluntly: "What are you!"

Donghua didn't get entangled with him, and went straight to the point: "Let me ask you, how far is this place from Mount Yan? How long will it take for the army to arrive?"

"It's more than a thousand miles away, but with the strength of our Celestial Clan army, we should be able to arrive in two days."

"Then dare to ask when the lord set off?"

Zheyan frowned, and roughly understood his intention: "Departed early in the morning two days ago..."

"Counting today, it will be almost three days! The army should have a method of daily communication, is there any news?"

Zheyan was silent, regretting his carelessness, and still trying to find a reason: "...Maybe they were delayed on the way? It's just a surrender, and there is no rush!"

Donghua looked at him quietly and said nothing, he knew that Old Fenghuang was not so dull, but he just refused to bow his head easily.

Zheyan turned nine twists and eighteen turns but couldn't find a reason to convince herself, so she finally kept silent, and asked reluctantly after a long while: "How are you doing?"

Donghua waited for this sentence: "There is a strange thing, there must be fraud in accepting the surrender, and the schemer is big. It is not too late to purge the army quickly. You and I will divide the army into two groups. I will lead the way to help the lord, and you will stay behind all the way." Camp!"

"You?" Zheyan didn't expect this person to have such a big idea, so he immediately arranged a place for himself.

"Otherwise? You don't mind letting me stay?" Donghua glanced at him very calmly, expecting Zheyan to have no such confidence.

Sure enough, Old Phoenix weighed it over and over again, touched his nose and asked again: "How many people do you want to take?"

"Did the lord bring [-]% of the troops? Then I will take [-]% and leave the rest to you. Don't tell me that this is still unstoppable! Then send scouts to investigate. The surrender is fraudulent. There must be abnormalities around. There must be news. Immediately send back! The camp strengthens its defenses, loosens the outside and tightens the inside, pay attention to the movements in the northwest and southwest! Also, contact Father God, Mo Yuan, and Bai Zhi as soon as possible, and be careful to guard against the coalition forces of the two races. !"

Donghua's speech was not slow, and Zheyan felt a little overwhelmed, so he nodded all the way and followed him back to the big tent.

After gathering the troops and issuing a few golden orders as the deputy commander to arrange everything properly, and after everyone left the tent in an orderly manner, Zheyan realized that something was wrong: "Hey, why did I hear what this kid said!"

The fan in his hand knocked hard on his forehead, he didn't care if it hurt or not, he just felt that someone had tricked him, but he couldn't make a mistake.Zheyan also secretly felt strange, how could he be eaten to death by this unknown Wenchang?It was just now that he was arranging troops in the army tent, and he adapted very well. He felt that he was no different from when the lord was there. OK.

Old Phoenix thought for a long time, and he didn't say "heroes see alike", nor did he talk about "things of a kind gather together and people are divided into groups", but he sighed very magically: "What does that saying say, it's not a family. Do not enter a house! Very good!"

It’s really healed, the scar forgets the pain, if someone finds out, it’s inevitable to be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.

If it is simply to investigate the situation, Donghua can indeed go alone, but the struggle between the five clans is not so simple.The coalition forces of the ghost clan and the monster clan are only mediocre in strength, but now they want to play tricks in a desperate situation where they know they have no chance of winning, and there is no guarantee that there will be no shadow of other clans.Moreover, Donghua can't say whether this trip will be flat. Once he rashly goes deep and falls into the situation where the enemy is in the dark and the enemy is in the dark, it is really unwise to affect the whole body with a single hair, so it is better to be careful.

He led a group of people to bury their heads on the road, not interested in admiring the scenery along the way.Along the way, you have to keep vigilant all the time, which is not so comfortable.

At the current marching speed, we should be able to reach Mount Yan in one day.By noon, the horses in front had reported several times, and there was no abnormality in the few miles ahead of the army, but the closer they got, the more suspicious they became.

When it was getting dark and they were less than a hundred miles away from their destination, Donghua still let go of the idea of ​​traveling overnight and ordered everyone to stop and rest.

The night wind picked up gradually, and the coolness was deep. Donghua felt that the surroundings were a little strange from the beginning. He looked around calmly, and he was on guard for a while, but he still couldn't feel relieved.

Taking advantage of the last bit of daylight to look into the distance, the mountains and mountains of Yanshan seem to be in front of you. Due to the lack of light, the black outline looks more like a secret place that no one knows. I don’t know what sharp teeth and claws will be exposed behind it.

The grass and trees leave clusters of shadows, like cold rocks, and like crouched beasts, blown up by the wind and roaring.

The vague voices of the soldiers came from a distance away, not very real.They are all seasoned warriors who know how to keep their voices down and not let the wind of the wilderness carry them far away.As a result, there were periods of sudden silence in the voice, a kind of panic that disrupted the rhythm.

By the way, the sound is the sound!Donghua suddenly woke up.

It's obviously a mountain, but it's too quiet here!

The endless mountains stretch along with the line of sight, and there are countless birds and beasts bred in them.If it is normal, there will be many sounds in the mountains and forests, such as the chirping of insects, the screaming of wild animals, and the singing of birds, one after another or unevenly scattered, it is a natural sound full of vitality.

But at this time, there is nothing else except the wind, and the silence is more like hopelessness after being suppressed. There is no gentle serenity, only cold and stern killing.

Originally, I still had the consideration of exploring Yanshan at night, but now I can only put it aside.He didn't want to startle the enemy, so he retreated back to the original place unintentionally, secretly set up restrictions around the camp, vaguely reminded everyone to take the time to rest, and arranged reliable people to be on duty, still acting as if he didn't notice it.

However, I am afraid that tonight will be extremely peaceful.
