[Purple yarn] Deep spring flowers bloom by themselves

On the [-]th, the county magistrate's mansion was brightly lit at night, and additional manpower was deployed everywhere, and Taoist priests were arranged to perform rituals in the courtyard of the front hall, making the mansion smoky and noisy, but no monsters appeared.

In a guest room on the east side, Ziying gently wiped Feiwen Huanri.The radiance of the sword flowed and was dazzling, illuminating the entire room with rainbow light.He wiped it for a while, and then looked at it carefully. ——Actually, he hasn't used this sword for a long time.Since Qionghua fell and the dust settled in Kunlun, there has never been a big battle like that that allowed him to use Feiwen Huanri.Every time he saw this sword, he would think of everything from a hundred years ago.Even though the years have passed, those memories are still vivid in my mind as if they happened yesterday, and when I think about them now, it is still hard not to feel troubled in my heart.

Two days ago, at the foot of Bagong Mountain, that strange red-clothed girl glanced casually, and the look in her eyes made him feel familiar, but he couldn't explain why.She left the mess to them to clean up, but she left. Although Du Heng and Bai Shao drove away the group of officers and soldiers without much effort, the other party also threatened to put the three of them on the wanted list.

However, it was a coincidence that when they went to inspect the Huainan King's Tomb later, they encountered this group of soldiers who were frightened by a few wandering spirits and dropped their helmets and armor.They rescued him, and this group of people knew that they had offended the "immortal" before. After kowtowing a few times and saying "I am grateful for your kindness", they ran away in a hurry, making the three of them dumbfounded.

They continued on, and encountered some wandering ghosts along the way, but no serious conflict occurred.It wasn't until they entered the entrance of the mausoleum that they realized that the earth-binding image here was slightly loose, so some ghosts came out, but the three people who were not proficient in the art of Fengshui Kanyu couldn't say why.This made Ziying suddenly think "it would be great if Lingsha was here", but then she couldn't help feeling sad.

This unintentional touch on the past made the old memories pour out from the bottom of his heart irresistibly, and he took Fei Wen Huan Ri out again to look at it.

He stared at the sword for a while, and just put the sword away, the back window of the guest room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a figure in night clothes jumped in.

Ziying was secretly surprised.This person approached here silently, and he didn't realize it until he broke through the window. From this, it can be seen that his hands are light and his thoughts are meticulous.

He remained calm and focused on his guard.But the man reached out and hooked the mask off, showing a smiling face.

It turned out that it was the girl in red who had left two days ago.

"Oh! 'Master Uncle'! We meet again!" The girl laughed.Her smile is bright and bright, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, but what Ziying cares about is not this, but the name she calls herself.

"You...are a disciple of the Qionghua sect?" Thinking about it, I really haven't been to the sect for a long time, and it's only natural that I don't know the newly recruited disciples, but that day, she heard that Du Heng and Bai Shao also called each other brothers and sisters, It can be seen that they are messing around.

"Qinghua School? What's that?" The girl walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea, casually as if at home.

"Bah bah, what rotten tea, this county magistrate is really clueless—"

She stuck out her tongue, as if the tea was a bitter medicine, then lifted the lid of the teapot and looked inside.

"...Why are you here?" Ziying didn't know her origin and purpose, and she didn't want to talk too much with her, but there was always something familiar to him in this girl's speech and behavior, but it made him Unpredictable.

"Why, you can come, but I can't?" The girl's gaze hurriedly passed over his face.

Ziying kept silent.

"I, I was just passing by here, but when I saw a very beautiful light twinkling in your room, I was curious to come over to see what kind of treasure it is."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and asked him with a smile: "You must put it away, right? Can you show me?"

What she said, of course, was Feiwen Huanri.But such a precious sword, Ziying is not willing to show it to strangers easily.Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden noise outside, as if many people were running back and forth in panic.

"It's not good! Come on! There are thieves! There are thieves!"

After Ziying heard this, she wanted to go out to have a look, but the girl waved her hand disdainfully, and said, "Oh, uncle, don't bother, this old county magistrate has done a lot of evil, and it's his retribution for losing things at home. Don't help the wrong person!"

"...how do you say that?" Ziying looked back at her, not caring for a moment to blame her for calling herself inappropriately.

"I mean, the magistrate—"

Just as the girl was about to continue speaking, footsteps approached outside, and soon someone knocked on the door:

"Young Master Murong! Young Master Murong!"

As soon as the girl heard this, she immediately silenced, and made a gesture of "shh--" to Ziying, then dodged and hid behind the screen.

Ziying was full of doubts, but she could only open the door first.

He opened the door and saw that it was a group of soldiers from the county magistrate's mansion.

"Mr. Murong!" The leader clasped his fists and said, "A thief broke into this house just now, and the county magistrate lost an important thing. May I ask Mr. Murong, can any strangers appear here tonight? Or have you heard anything?" Strange movement?"

"I didn't—" Ziying had just said a few words, and thought of that girl in a flash in her mind.Isn't she a stranger?What's more, she was wearing night clothes, her whereabouts were surreptitious, and her whereabouts were unknown, could it be——

He has always been honest with others, and wanted to tell the truth, but when he thought of the girl's appearance just now, he felt that it seemed inappropriate to say it, so he frowned and stopped talking.

"Mr. Murong?" The soldier saw that he stopped in the middle of his words, and was about to ask, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice angrily say:

"You guys, don't you believe in Senior Murong?"

I saw Bai Shao walking quickly, followed by Du Heng who hesitated to speak.Several soldiers quickly gave way.

Bai Shao walked up to them, glared at them, and said: "You are really unreasonable, since you asked us to come to help, why do you doubt us?"

That day, they went to the county magistrate's mansion to inquire about the news, but were detained by the county magistrate, begging them to stay and help eliminate the demon.Originally, they didn't plan to stop when Yu Jian was passing through Shouyang. It was Ziying who was entrusted by Mengli to ask about the recent situation of Shouyang and Nvluoyan. So he agreed to stay overnight at the county magistrate's mansion to help.

"Miss Bai Shao, we are not suspicious," the soldier hurriedly explained. "It's just that someone did see the thief fleeing to this courtyard just now, so they came to ask—"

"Doubt is doubt, you still want to quibble?" Bai Shao stepped forward.

"Bai Shao!" Du Heng hurriedly held her back, and said to the soldier: "We really don't know. Instead of wasting time on us, everyone, why not hurry up and investigate elsewhere..."

"...Okay, since that's the case, I was so rude just now, everyone, please rest." After hearing this, the soldier didn't ask any more questions, took a look at the three of them, and led them away.

"Senior Murong, are you alright?..."

Seeing that Ziying was still frowning and silent, Bai Shao asked worriedly.

"No problem." Ziying said.

"Those people are real, right and wrong..." Bai Shao wanted to say a few words, but Ziying shook her head:

"Something was lost in the county magistrate's mansion. They are doing errands for others. It's normal to be anxious, so don't blame them."

Then he said: "It's getting late, you go back and rest."

"Senior Murong..." Bai Shao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Du Heng, so she had to follow her senior brother.

Ziying returned to the room, and when the footsteps outside were far away, she said, "Come out."

The girl immediately appeared from behind the screen, with a bright smile on her face and a deep meaning:

"Uncle, you are really a good person!"

"... Since you are not a disciple of our sect, you should not call me Shishu." Ziying said.

"Isn't it called Shishu? What is it called?" The girl smiled and asked again.

Ziying felt that she was embarrassing herself in every sentence, so she didn't answer for a while.

"Okay, it's fine if you don't tell me." The girl smiled at him for a while, walked to the table, opened the lid of the teapot, and took out a green bead from it.

"Senior Murong, thanks to you, this junior was able to take away this treasure today without any risk. Your great kindness, this junior will definitely repay you in the future! We will meet later!"

"You!—" Ziying suddenly realized, and was about to draw her sword back, but suddenly a cloud of smoke exploded in the room, and when he chased out of the room, the girl had disappeared.

He called out Zixiao Yinyue, and was about to take off with his sword, but suddenly the fire burst into the sky from the north, and in the blink of an eye, the mansion was full of evil spirits.In desperation, Yujian had to fly north immediately.

The next moment, Bai Shao and Du Heng also followed Yu Jian.The three of them looked from the sky, and wherever they looked, there were billowing smoke and unconscious soldiers everywhere.Directly ahead, a red-haired man lifted the county magistrate's daughter into the air and flew in the direction of Huainan King's Mausoleum.

They drove their swords and chased after them, and when they arrived at the royal tomb, they found that the entire royal tomb had been surrounded by magic circles.Although it was not difficult to break the magic circle with Ziying's power, it took some time.

The three chased them all the way to the tomb, and the already dark tomb passage was even darker at night, all illuminated by the light of the sword.

After entering the tomb, the evil spirit was nowhere to be found.They chased along the tomb passage for a while, and came to a fork.When they entered the tomb two days ago, they hadn't gone so far, so they didn't know which way to choose.

Ziying thought for a moment and decided to go left first.Just as he took a step, there was a sudden crackling sound from the tomb passage on the right.Bai Shao immediately mobilized her sword energy, before Ziying could stop it, hundreds of sword lights had already shot towards the sounding place.

The sword light illuminated the tomb passage, and Ziying vaguely saw a figure, who seemed to be carrying a large package on his back, running forward.

"Ah!" The shadow couldn't dodge it in time, and fell to the ground. The wrapping belt on his shoulders was also cut off by the sword energy, and the wrapping was scattered, and the treasures and jewels inside rolled out, shining a strange light in the dark tomb passage.

"It's you?!" Ziying saw the man's face clearly, it turned out that it was the girl who had cheated him at the county magistrate's mansion just now.

"You—you are a grave robber?!" Bai Shao looked at the things on the ground and said in surprise.

At the foot of Bagong Mountain that day, at first she only thought that the girl's talk was amusing, and she was really warm-hearted to fight for Aunt Zhao's injustice. Although it was annoying to let them clean up the mess later, she never expected to meet her again here and now.

Ziying suddenly heard the words "tomb robber", feeling like a thorn in her heart, she clenched the hilt of her sword, but did not move.

"Hey! You don't want to spout blood! Which eye of yours saw me robbing the tomb?!" The girl in red looked at Ziying while cleaning up the scattered jewels on the ground. Xiang Baishao's tone didn't have the slightest grievance to defend herself, but was full of anger.

"Then, what are these? Aren't they all the jewels from the Huainan King's Tomb?!" Bai Shao said, and looked carefully at the things on the ground. Indeed, many of them bear the burial marks of the King's Tomb.

Ziying was also checking the things on the ground at this time, her eyes wandered, and she suddenly saw the lost green orb on the county magistrate's mansion.

"You... really—"

He frowned, wanting to reprimand, but for some reason, the words of reproach just couldn't come out.

This scene was so familiar that it was like a repeat of the past, making his thoughts fluctuate and disturbed.

"What about me?" The girl looked at him, her eyes softened a lot, and she patiently waited for him to continue.

Ziying was silent for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "This place is dangerous, if you leave your things, go away, we will not pursue it."

"That can't be done," the girl shook her head in frustration, "If I stop here, wouldn't my painstaking efforts for so many days be in vain?"

"you--"

"Senior Murong, why bother talking to her!" Bai Shao anxiously said, "Let's just knock her down and leave the things behind?!"

But Ziying didn't seem to hear her words, hesitated for a moment, frowned and said to the girl:

"You... do you know that robbing the tomb will take away your lifespan?"

The girl froze for a moment, as if she had been greatly shocked, her lips opened and closed a few times, but she couldn't make a sound.After a while, he said softly, "Of course I know."

"Then why do you still..." Ziying seemed to want to ask, but immediately changed her mind, "...Forget it, you don't need to say it."

The girl looked at him with gentle eyes, as if there were only the two of them in the tomb.Seeing this, Bai Shao was rather displeased, so she said to Ziying: "Senior Murong, do we want to—"

"Let's go." Ziying suddenly said to the girl, "I just pretend that what happened today didn't happen. But you'd better not rob the tomb again in the future, and don't let me know, otherwise I will never tolerate it."

Hearing what he said, the girl packed up her things, rewrapped the package, stood up and smiled at him:

"I knew you were a good man."

She was about to turn around when she remembered something, looked at Ziying and said, "You don't have to chase that fox demon."

Ziying frowned: "Do you know where the monster is hiding?"

The girl sighed, and said: "You and I are neither close nor old, and I don't expect you to believe me... But, that fox demon really has no evil intentions, and has never killed anyone. He occupied this royal tomb and moved Feng Shui Firstly, it was to repay the county magistrate's daughter for saving her life in the past, and secondly, to take away the yin and yang purple bars here to help her practice. The county magistrate's daughter had already fallen in love with him, and today's catastrophe was painstakingly arranged by the two of them. So that the county magistrate will have nothing to worry about from now on. As for the bead you saw...it wasn't originally owned by the county magistrate, but he got it by searching for the people's fat and anointing..." At this point, she snorted dissatisfiedly, "Unexpectedly, this old county magistrate usually acts as a dominance over the people, but he has a daughter who is considerate and caring for him. I don't know if it is the blessing he cultivated in his life..."

"Then...how did you know about this?" Ziying asked.

"Oh," she smiled and waved her hands, "it's not worth mentioning. Anyway, I have an appointment with that monster first. You..." She paused, looking into his eyes, "Will you Don't you think that helping monsters is worse than tomb robbery?"

Ziying didn't expect her to ask such a question, she was slightly taken aback, then shook her head: "If what you just said is true, then I have nothing to say."

As soon as he said this, both Bai Shao and Du Heng's eyes widened in surprise, as if they didn't know him before.The Shushan faction has a tougher attitude towards monsters than the Qionghua faction. The girl and Ziying's view of monsters in the conversation, they usually don't even think about it.

"That's good." The girl nodded, and said again: "If you feel that you can't feel at ease without confirming it yourself, you can follow the tomb passage on the left. Although I delayed them for a while...but it should be okay to chase now. It's too late. However, I beg you not to kill the killer..."

"A monster is a monster, why should we show mercy?!" Bai Shao said angrily.

The girl glanced at her, and didn't bother to argue with her, she just looked at Ziying, waiting for his answer.

"...you don't have to worry." Ziying said.

"Senior Murong?!——"

"Thank you so much!" the girl said with a smile, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. "I'm leaving today, I don't know when I'll see you again. You... treat people so well, may I know your name?"

"...I am Murong Ziying."

"Well, Ziying..." The girl whispered, turned around, waved her hand and said, "Take care of yourself! I'm leaving!"

After speaking, he disappeared into the dark tomb passage not far away.
