Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

The rain breaks, the clouds clear, and the morning light shines.

Light milky white mist floats and diffuses among the bamboo forests.The morning light shines into the room through the morning mist, bamboo shadows, and tulle.

Meng Xueli shrank into a ball, hiding herself deep in the soft brocade quilt.

Ji Xiao was fully dressed, and patted the quilt lightly: "Xueli?"

"Sable Ball" trembled slightly, but did not make a sound.

Ji Xiao asked with concern, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Meng Xueli tore off the quilt, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.His eyes are moist and lively, slightly red, like the crystal clear morning dew adorned on the tips of bamboo leaves, bathing in the morning glow.

Meng Xueli's voice trembled slightly: "I want to be alone for a while."

Ji Xiao thought for a while: "No, at this time, you can use your true energy, which will be of great benefit to your cultivation. After I push the blood through the palace for you and dredge the meridians, this time the double cultivation will be considered complete."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand, and was about to hug the little Taoist partner out of the bed.

Meng Xueli's face turned red, and she held her slightly heavy belly with one hand. The remaining feeling in her body was extremely clear. All kinds of intimacy came to his mind last night, which made him flustered. Talking in a low-key manner, it seems that he is coddling and slacking off business due to personal affairs.

Meng Xueli said angrily, "If you were really reasonable, you shouldn't have tortured me to death last night!"

Ji Xiao admitted his mistake with a correct attitude: "I can't help it, I'm sorry. I don't have much experience in this way. We will have a long future and make progress together."

Meng Xueli's head was covered, leaving Ji Xiao with an angry back.

Ji Xiao was startled.After a few months, those two questions entangled him again—is the Taoist companion angry?Why is Taoist angry?

He covered Meng Xueli from behind, wrapped the other person into his arms, and decided to change the phrase: "Then I will enter your sea of ​​consciousness, comb your hair, and dredge your meridians by the way, okay?"

Meng Xueli turned around: "Yes."

Oh, just brush it.Ji Xiao smiled, touched the Taoist couple's forehead, and separated a ray of consciousness.

There was a gentle breeze in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the blue waves were rippling. Ji Xiao was sitting on the coastal reef, holding a wooden comb, and the little mink nestled on his lap and dawdled affectionately.

After combing to a comfortable place, the little white mink in the Sea of ​​Consciousness kicked its hind paws lightly, while Meng Xueli lay on the couch, like a tender bamboo shoot that had been moistened by spring rain, and stretched his body contentedly.

Meng Xueli went out during the day, observed the aura lines of Fengyue City, tempered her spiritual consciousness, and practiced with Taoist companions at night to increase her cultivation base, and lived a comfortable and fulfilling life.

Ji Xiao is busier than him. He has to guide other monsters in the Zhuli Pavilion to practice and check their progress.Among them, the one with the fastest improvement in cultivation was actually the most decadent and lazy mirage beast in the past.Bi You and Ruan Hui were originally timid and cautious, but this time they walked together with Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao, and experienced ups and downs of adventures, they gradually became more courageous.When the two demons Chi Chu and Fei Yu teased Bi You and Xiao Luanniao without the demeanor of a big demon, Bi You blushed and argued with all her strength, from stumbling to spitting at each other, her verbal skills improved amazingly.

Meng Xueli had to warn Chichu and Feiyu again and again: "Don't lead my child laborers down. There are serious jobs for the secret agents."

The happy time is always short, unknowingly, it is the day before the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference.

On this day, the red host brought a group of monsters to the Zhuli Pavilion early, and had morning tea with the "Kunshan King", and talked warmly: "Brother, is everything going well these days?"

Meng Xueli: "Thanks to the landlord's care, it's good."

The manager next to the red landlord smiled and said, "Since you entered the city, the landlord has arranged for basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and held a beauty pageant for birds and demons. Whatever your needs, the landlord has been very attentive..."

The red host interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Don't talk about this, I should have hit it off with the Kunshan brothers. We also agreed before that the night before the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference, that is, tonight, the two pets around him will accompany me on a boat Liulihu. Today I also brought a few beautiful monsters, and after the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference is over, I will accompany my brother back to the Kunshan territory. Good brothers, exchange occasionally, monsters make fun."

He motioned the little demons behind him to take two steps forward, "Look, brother, these are all bird demons, do you like them?"

On the surface, he talked about friendship, but in fact he implied that the king of Kunshan kept his promise, not only wanted Chichu and Feiyu to accompany him tonight, but also used the name of "exchange" to let the two demons stay from now on.

"Exchange is not necessary." Meng Xueli glanced at the excited servant with a helpless and regretful expression.Helpless is to the two monsters, they are shouting through voice transmission:

"Send us both out!"

"This bustard has done a lot of evil, God will not repay him, let's repay him!"

It is a pity that he cannot bear the future fate of the red host, but the latter thinks that he is unwilling to give up his love.The red man's complexion was slightly gloomy, and when he got up and was about to explode, the servants around him became tense.

The King of Kunshan said indifferently: "These two little monsters are lucky to be favored by the landlord. From now on, they will follow the landlord."

Chi Chu and Fei Yu smiled, looking at the red building with shyness and annoyance.

The red host was overjoyed: "It's night when the sun sets, I'll wait on the glazed lake." He turned to the king of Kunshan to say goodbye, "Thank you, brother! I won't bother you any more."

After walking out of the bamboo grove, the manager of the Red Mansion praised: "Sure enough, there is no beautiful monster that the landlord can't get. They were so arrogant when they first came here, and they couldn't escape the palm of the landlord."

The red host is full of ambition: "Prepare for me."

"what to prepare?"

The red host sneered and said, "Utensils. The two monsters are used to being domineering. I still need to train and punish them so that they can forget about the King of Kunshan and follow me wholeheartedly."

"The landlord is wise."

"Go, I'll go and see the new snow." The red host walked out of the bamboo forest and went to the back garden to find the scorpion monster—pure and innocent, as the name suggests, really like a new snow.Can King Lingshan not like it?

Seeing the landlord coming, the music group stopped playing and stood up. The Nirvana and other dancers saluted, and the colorful silks dancing in their hands fell down one after another.

The red host walked towards the newcomer, and said in a caring manner: "How are you practicing, can you play tomorrow night?"

Quexian smiled pointedly: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. When will we enter the palace?"

He practiced dancing with the Bird Demon of Paradise, but practiced assassination in private.

The red host reminded: "Tomorrow morning, there will be stewards from the palace to pick up the dance team and band. When you enter the palace, don't show your face in front of the demon, so as not to be seen by other big demons. After the dance at the dinner party, the veil falls Only by making an appearance suddenly can the King of Lingshan's eyes light up. At that time, I will stand up from the guest seat and say a few words for you, and things will come naturally..."

Que Xianming suppressed vomiting, and said with a soft smile, "I know, I will follow brother's arrangement."

The red host repeatedly claimed to be good, but felt that the spring breeze was proud and everything went smoothly.

"Xiaoyuan ran away, and lost the mirror. This trip to the demon world is not going well, and the master of the realm told us to go back quickly." In the palace of the demon king, Chun Shui sighed sadly.The two women could not find Que Xianming, and received a summons from Hu Si, so they entered the palace to ask the Demon King to resign.

Ling Shan sat on the throne on the high steps, frowning slightly.He didn't care about the peacock named "Xiaoyuan", who heard that the name was just Hu Si's pet on a whim, and ran away as soon as he heard it. He cared more about "Jing Hong Jing".

Qiu Guang: "The Landlord also said that tomorrow night, you will definitely see the precious mirror!"

Lingshan's expression softened slightly: "This king believes it. A word from a sage can be heard by the heavens."

Chun Shui said earnestly: "Heaven's way is a lesson, what the Landlord said, I never miss it."

After boarding the flying artifact and away from the palace, Chun Shui patted his heart lightly: "As soon as he frowned, I panicked. I thought he couldn't get the mirror, so I became angry and wanted to detain us."

Qiu Guang shook his head and said, "No. The demon world hasn't been completely unified yet, so what good will it do him to tear up his face with the realm master?"

Chun Shui was still worried: "We're leaving, what will Xiaoyuan do? From what he said in the past, it seems that he has an enmity with the demon king. If he fails to seek revenge, he will be caught instead..."

"The demon king is scheming. Even if he is caught, he will definitely use him as a bargaining chip in exchange for greater benefits with the realm master. Instead, his life is not in danger."

Chun Shui nodded: "Oh, we tried our best, but we couldn't guess what the Landlord wanted. We only hope that Xiaoyuan, the auspicious monster has its own appearance."

When Chi Chu and Fei Yu came back laughing and laughing, Meng Xueli was standing in front of the desk, calmly, holding a pen hanging on his wrist, and sketching the spiritual energy line of Fengyue City.

His breath was disturbed, and he simply put down his pen: "Why don't you go swimming in the lake? Don't you punish the bustard?"

Chi Chu jumped over: "I'll go right away, I'll take a break from my busy schedule to announce the good news!"

Meng Xueli smiled: "Look at this gloating, is it because something bad happened to Lingshan?"

"Guess right!" Fei Yu gave him a thumbs up, "Let's talk about the summary of the past, this time Lingshan will hold a meeting, and the invitations will be distributed widely, even outside the demon world, inviting the two saints of the world..."

The new king of the Yaozu came to the throne, and the only two supreme saints in the world, the Lord of Tianhu and Guiqing, sent envoys to send the artifacts of the Yaozu, the two mirrors of "Jinghong" and "Zhaoying", symbolizing the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two tribes. .Things should have been perfect, enough to make the Yaozu proud and go down in history.

"You're so long-winded." Chi Chu interrupted Fei Yu, "Today, Lingshan summoned an envoy from the world, and the envoy of the realm master said that the Jinghong Mirror was lost. Mingyue Lake was even more ruthless, and sent someone to send a fake photo. mirror'."

Meng Xueli was a little startled: "The mirror?"

"Hahaha! Fake!" Chi Chu lowered his voice, imitating Lingshan's tone, "This king is not a man without courage. As long as you tell the truth about the loss of the precious mirror, this king will not blame you. You can borrow the real mirror from me, and you don't have to. Also, what is the purpose of returning my fake mirror?"

Fei Yu continued: "Finally point to the Envoy of Mingyue Lake, 'Put him in jail, have a banquet tomorrow night, kill him to sacrifice the flag'!"

Meng Xueli: "How do you know?"

"It's rumored in the palace, and people in the streets of the city are talking about it! It's said that there are two mirrors, but there is no one. Under the leadership of the leader, cross the 'Xu Kong' and attack the human world!"

Meng Xueli thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No."

"What's wrong?"

Meng Xueli: "Guiqing gave the mirror to Tai Heng. The purpose is to reflect my soul and make it difficult for me to gain a foothold in the world. If this mirror belongs to Guiqing, he can take it out early in the morning, preferably On the day of the "Jixiao Immortal Worship Ceremony", he sent his disciples to Hanshan to question him. He didn't have to wait until the late stage of the secret realm, and changed his plan halfway. Therefore, the mirror is not his, it was given to him by someone else, or a ghost. The most likely thing is Lingshan Send him off. In this matter, Guiqing and Lingshan have the same purpose, but I disappeared, and their goal was not completed. How could the mirror be returned? Of course it is still in the human world, and it is still in Taiheng's hands. When I show up in the world, Attack me immediately!"

Chi Chu put away his joking look: "You mean, Lingshan knew it was a fake mirror, but deliberately acted in front of all the monsters? He deliberately let the news spread all over Fengyue City and the demon world the day before the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference? He In order to send troops to attack the human world, or do you have any agreement with the saints in the human world?"

Meng Xueli pondered: "It's very possible."

Fei Yu looked blank: "Hey, you demon kings always have more ideas than other demons."

Chi Chu touched the top of his hair: "The crane's head is relatively small, it's not your fault."

Meng Xueli suddenly asked: "What's the name of the messenger from Mingyue Lake?"

"I don't know, it is said that he is a young swordsman who was locked in a dungeon." Chi Chu and Fei Yu were at a loss, "What's going on now, is it serious?"

"It's okay." Meng Xueli smiled, "Go swim in the lake. I'll find my Taoist companion."

Ji Xiao was meditating on the bamboo forest terrace.Meng Xueli narrated the incident and his own analysis. Seeing that the Taoist couple's mood has not changed much, and his expression is still calm, he can't help but feel more stable.

"Is it Jingdi? He's Mingyue Lake's big brother." Meng Xueli asked, "His master is the head of Mingyue Lake, so why don't you come and save him?"

In the secret realm of the vast sea, he met a group of young monks and taught them personally. Looking at them is like looking at juniors.Although Jing Di was very angry, but no matter how angry the child is, the elders can't do nothing.

But Ji Xiao said: "It may not be him. Tomorrow night, thousands of monsters will gather and the scene will be chaotic. I'll find out when I go and find out."

Meng Xueli: "Okay. Play by ear tomorrow night."

The regular spiritual energy lines of Fengyue City, the envoys from the human world who visited the demon world, and the monster artifacts that suddenly appeared, all these things were connected in series in his mind, weaving into a slowly tightening net... The connection between the human world and the demon world is stronger than before. For hundreds of years, he felt faintly uneasy, wondering if the world had changed, what happened to Xiao Yu, Changchun Peak, Hanshan people, Qian Treasurer, and Hanmen City.

……

In the middle of the night, Yu Qishu walked in the cold gate city.

The shops are closed, the lights of the houses are turned off, and there is silence everywhere.On the stone path, footsteps are heard, and the moonlight is as clear as falling frost.

Ever since the cold mountain was closed, Yu Qishu wanted to see the money shopkeeper, so she could only arrive at the cold door city through the teleportation array. Every time she visited late at night, she did not make a sound.

He gave the spirit stone with one hand and the peach blossom branch with the other. After the transaction was completed, he lent the money mouse to the treasurer Qian to hug him, and the treasurer Qian would treat him to eat iced watermelon.After eating the watermelon, he should leave, and then go back to Changchun Peak to practice swordsmanship, raise rats and fish, and teach Xiaohuai how to learn Taoism.

Suddenly, eyes darkened, and Yu Qishu raised her head subconsciously, but saw a dark cloud covering her head.

The clouds glowed reddish, lower than the clouds in the sky, and higher than the branches on the roof, completely blocking the moonlight shining on him, and shrouding him in a heavy shadow.Yu Qishu was startled, and clenched the soft sword at her waist.

The red cloud does not move with the wind, only moves with him.When he walked fast, the clouds flew away; when he walked slowly, the clouds also slowed down.

There is no fluctuation of true energy in the surrounding space, and the monk driving the cloud has returned to the original and returned to the original, casting spells in line with the natural state.

It is useless to hold any sword, and it is useless to draw the sword quickly.When Yu Qishu realized this, he let go of his hands instead, stood still with his hands behind his back, raised his head and asked calmly:

"Which senior rides the cold mountain?"

The summer night was cleared by the breeze, and a light and loose voice came from the clouds:

"Boy, this is Hanmen City. There are no mountains in front and no water in the back. How come it becomes the boundary of Hanshan?"

As soon as the voice fell, the clouds dispersed slightly in the air, and a figure in red was seen sitting on the cloud.

Yu Qishu looked carefully, and finally saw the man's face clearly, instantly relieved: "Senior, it's you!" He laughed, "Is your illness better?"
