Green Lantern Bond

In the dark room, the candles flickered on and off, dancing with dim light.The young man in black on the bed slept with his clothes on, the lamplight reflected half of his elegant face, and his long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on his clean face.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the room, and the maid approached with her skirt swaying like water, leaned slightly in front of the young man's bed and said softly, "My lord, it's time to get up."

The young man's eyelashes trembled in response, and his eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of black and white eyes.He sat up, looked out the window at the dark night, and asked casually, "What time is it?"

"It's past time."

Chongyun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the sky in this ghost world is very different from the outside world.He took the coat handed by the maid, and while putting it on, he heard the maid say: "Master Wu has been waiting in the middle hall with people for half an hour. Judging by his expression, the task of going out this time may not be easy."

"Then why didn't you call me earlier?" Chongyun asked back, but there was no sense of blame in his words. He straightened his clothes and sat down in front of a bronze mirror. hair.

The maid said leisurely from behind: "How many things in this world can be difficult for the young master? If Mr. Wu is in a hurry, let him do it. I don't want to disturb the young master's rest because of some trivial things."

Chongyun chuckled inexplicably: "Baoyue, you think too much of me."

"Young Master is a person who can be invincible even with the combined efforts of Wind Envoy and Thunder Envoy. In Baoyue's heart, he has always regarded Young Master as the strongest expert in the world." The fluttering scarlet hairband was on A pair of slender hands were tied into a delicate knot, Baoyue put away her hands, "Okay."

Chongyun stretched out his hand to touch his hair, turned around and smiled at Baoyue: "Holding the moon is getting more and more skillful, I am curious who will have the blessing to marry you back home in the future."

Baoyue's skin was as white as Ruoxue's face was red for a moment, and she said angrily: "Young master, let's take care of yourself first, Baoyue is also very curious about which young lady can fall in love with you?"

Chongyun choked on her words, and shook his head helplessly: "The little girl is getting more and more unruly."

Baoyue covered her mouth and snickered, and then remembered that there was something important to do, and immediately said seriously: "Young master, go out quickly, don't keep Master Wu and the others waiting for a long time."

Chong Yun glanced at her, and joked: "Now you know not to keep them waiting, why did you go so early?"

After finishing speaking, Chongyun walked past her with a step, and casually tapped his finger on Baoyue's shoulder, and the girl who was smiling sweetly just now turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the room.

……

Wu Xi was waiting in the nave with a few ghost messengers. Seeing a slender figure approaching from far away, he immediately went forward to greet him, and bowed respectfully: "I have seen Yunshi."

"For me, these hypocrisy can be avoided." Seeing Wu Xi's anxious face, Chongyun said seriously, "Baoyue has kept you waiting here for so long. Don't be offended by that girl who is naughty. Let's go first. Let’s talk about something on the way.”

He didn't even wait for Wu Xi to say something politely, he walked out of the house first, embarrassment flashed across Wu Xi's face, he exchanged a glance with the ghost guard at the side, and followed Chongyun step by step .

Outside the mansion, the coachman was already waiting in his carriage, and the two tall Xueyun horses were tied by the reins, standing quietly in place.Seeing the crowd coming out, the coachman quickly saluted: "Emissary Yun, Your Excellency Judge sent me to send some adults to Huaizhou."

Chongyun nodded, bent down and was about to board the carriage.

"Sir, wait a minute!" I saw that Baoyue, who had disappeared just now, was chasing out of the middle hall with an oil-paper umbrella, and handed the umbrella to Chongyun, "Sir, I forgot to bring the umbrella. The outside is not like the ghost world, sir. Pay more attention to your body."

"Understood, I'd better hold the moon and be considerate," Chong Yun took it over with a smile, and instructed, "Go in quickly, it's windy outside."

Everything was settled, Wu Xi and the others followed Chongyun into the carriage, the coachman flicked the whip rope, Xue Yunju led the crowd towards Huaizhou.

……

"Now we can talk, Mr. Wu." Chong Yun leaned on the soft pillow of the carriage and gave Wu Xi a wink, "There must be some special reason for the urgent task this time?"

Hearing this, Wu Xi was a little embarrassed, and then he reached out and took out a piece of talisman paper from his cuff. There was no sign on the orange talisman paper, but only a line of beautiful handwriting——Send Yunshi to go In Huaizhou, capture the ghosts who defected during the fifteenth night.

Fifteen nights...?Chongyun frowned slightly when he saw the name, how could it be Shiwuye?

"What about the judge's order?" Chong Yun asked.

"Here." Wu Xi took out a token in the shape of a black animal head from his arms, and handed it to Chongyun.

Chongyun glanced at it, and after confirming that it was true, he told him to put it away.

"I'm only in charge of catching monsters this time, and you can arrange other matters. The judge's order will be left with you. If you lose it, you are the only one to ask."

Wu Xi was in a cold sweat, he nodded quickly in response, and carefully put away the judge's order.

Xue Yunju's footsteps were very fast. After flying through the clouds and fog for half a day, he came to the boundary of Huaizhou.The carriage stopped at the foot of Lutai Mountain in the north of Huaizhou.The coachman said goodbye to everyone and drove away.

It was almost evening, and the setting sun was hidden behind layers of flowing clouds, refracting the intoxicating brilliance, struggling to cast the last ray of light on the world.Looking from a distance, the peak of Lutai Mountain is hidden in a cloud of mist. Under the flowing clouds, the green mountain is majestic in the bright sunlight.

After looking at the sky, Chongyun told Wu Xi: "It's still early, go find an inn to stay, and we'll move at night."

……

In Yuanyue Building, shopkeeper Wang sat behind the counter and looked at the ledger worrying.

Longyue Tower is located outside Huaizhou City and at the foot of Lutai Mountain. It can be said to have a unique geographical advantage. Whether it is people who want to enter or leave the city, or those who come to Lutai Mountain for fun, they must pass through here. There is an endless stream, and the business of Longyuelou has always been booming.

But recently, a man-eating monster appeared out of nowhere on Lutai Mountain, disturbing the panic of the people nearby, and there was no peace in the past.No one dares to go to Lutai Mountain, and people who enter and leave the city try to stay as far away as possible. The situation in Yuanyue Tower is declining, and the few guests who come here just chat with each other in a hurry, and leave after eating. They will never stay in the hotel. scene.

Shopkeeper Wang was so worried that half of his hair turned gray. If this continues, Yuanyuelou will have to close down.

He looked worriedly at the few people drinking tea and eating in the lobby, feeling a little headache.Then I heard the high-pitched voice of the waiter in the shop: "Guests, do you want to stay in the shop?"

A clear voice followed closely: "Stay in the hotel."

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up, and he looked towards the door, only to see a group of monk-like people in gray robes walking in, headed by a handsome young man in brocade clothes, tall and tall, with fair skin.On the delicate face, a pair of black and bright eyes seemed to be shining with the brilliance of stars.He put away the umbrella in his hand as soon as he entered the door, causing shopkeeper Wang to look out twice, it...it's not raining yet?

But this didn't affect shopkeeper Wang's good mood when he saw the distinguished guests. He came out from behind the counter, came forward and asked, "Who are you going to stay at?"

"Exactly. Please arrange two upper rooms. The rooms should be next to each other. Bring some side dishes." The person who spoke was Wu Xi.

The shopkeeper repeatedly agreed, and Chong Yun waved his hand: "No. We'll just eat here, and there's no need to send it to the room."

Naturally, Wu Xi had no objection to his arrangement, and ordered shopkeeper Wang to follow Chongyun's wishes, and they chose a corner in the lobby to sit down.

Such a group of people naturally attracted the attention of other people in the lobby. A man sitting at the next table came over and pretended to be mysterious and asked, "Hey brothers, are you here for night hunting?"

Chongyun raised his eyebrows, exchanged a glance with Wu Xi, and said inexplicably, "Why...you too?"

"How can I? I'm just an ordinary commoner." The man waved his hand and paused, "Which family monks are you from? How dare you come to Huaizhou?"

"I don't have a sect. I heard that a monster ran out here, so I recruited some people to take a look." Chong Yun said, "Why? Can't this Huaizhou come?"

"It's not impossible, it's just..." The man's face was inexplicable, whether it was fear or awe.

Another man also came over, and continued: "It's just that Huaizhou is the territory of the Gong family. There is an agreement among the immortal families, and there is an owner's territory. Unless the owner agrees, the children of ordinary immortal families are not allowed to intervene at will. But you Since it is a casual cultivator, there is no need to abide by these rules, but it may offend the Gong family."

A disdainful voice interspersed: "Hmph! So what if you are offended? What the Gong family is doing now, but there is still a sense of responsibility that a family of immortals should have? Let the monsters make trouble but don't care about it, and the children of other families will come forward to get rid of it. The monsters also stopped them, so what is the use of such a family of immortals? Maybe they released this monster!"

The waiter in the shop brought the food, and when he heard this sentence, his face changed with fright: "Oh, guest officer, you can't talk nonsense about this. If someone from the Gong family hears this, you won't be able to eat it and walk around."

Chong Yun was thoughtful: "Is the Gong family so overbearing?"

"That's not right! In the past, there was another Gong Ruxue in the Gong family who was a bit courageous. Although he was a bit arrogant, he always responded to the common people's requests. He never refused to ask him to hunt down demons and ghosts. Now, he has completely become the lackey of the Gong family." He won’t come out without the orders of the Gong family. This Lutai Mountain monster has been making trouble for a long time, and I haven’t seen him come out to ask questions.”

"What do you know?! The Gong family is in chaos right now. It's good that Gong Ruxue can take care of herself alone. How can I care about these things?"

"What happened to the Gong family?" Another person interrupted.

"You don't know, some time ago the Patriarch of the Gong family passed away, and the state of his death was quite miserable. Mrs. Gong took strict precautions to prevent the news from spreading. I still listened to what my cousin who worked in the Gong family said." His expression was smug, as if he knew some great secret, "The young masters of the Gong family are busy fighting for the position of the patriarch, and the Gong family will hold a grand feast in a few days. Now the whole family is in chaos, barely maintaining the current status. It's good to look calm on the surface, how can you care about the life and death of people outside?"

"Then let this monster harm the common people? This is too much!" The person who scolded Gong Ruxue just now was annoyed, and slapped the table and shouted, "Even if you want to fight for power, you shouldn't disregard the lives of the common people. Such a Gong family How can you bear the title of the Immortal Family?!"

Chongyun was startled by his sudden voice, his hands shook, and the water in the teacup in his hand spilled out, scalding his tiger's mouth red.

"Yun... Young Master!" Seeing Wu Xi, he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.

Chongyun waved his hand: "It's okay."

Wu Xiyou was a little annoyed, and shouted at the man in a deep voice: "I think this little brother said so righteously, why don't you go and catch the monster yourself? After all, you care about the common people so much, and sacrificing your life for righteousness is not a good thing for you." Is it difficult?"

The man hadn't finished speaking, but Wu Xiyi's accusation with a gun and a stick blocked his throat, and the eyes of the people around him watching the show fell on the man, making the man's face flushed instantly.

"I...I'm not a monk, how can I catch demons?" The man found a way to find a way, and shouted at Wu Xi, "You asked me, an ordinary person, to catch demons, isn't it just to send me to my death? What is your intention?!"

"Hmph, your life is your life, so other people's lives are not your life?" Wu Xi was not to be outdone, "You think it's only natural for monks to help you eliminate demons, but if you can't come forward for some reason, you will be arranged to slander you. You are such an ungrateful person who doesn't know good and bad, and you deserve it when you meet that monster!"

"you……!"

"how do I?"

"It's too noisy, shut up." Chong Yun finally stopped the quarrel.

The man glared at Chongyun resentfully, he was not stupid, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chongyun stopped him just after Wu Xi had finished speaking, naturally he was helping his own people.

"You are all in the same group, I don't care about you!" The man turned his eyes around the crowd, and said in a hateful voice, "Seeing that you are also monks dressed like this, but you are acting like bullying ordinary people like me. It's really ugly!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

On the second floor of the inn, the two brocade-clothed gentlemen saw this scene in their eyes.One is sitting upright, dressed in white snow, with a handsome and delicate face, and there is still a heroic spirit unique to young people between his brows; Gentle, with the ends of the eyes slightly upturned, and there is a three-point smile even if you don't smile.

"Lutai Mountain is very lively recently, all kinds of strange people have come here." Young Master Liu Hanyi in Tsing Yi shook his folding fan, smiled lightly and looked at the people beside him, "You think so, Axue?"

The author has something to say:

Lutai Mountain: "Shan Hai Jing Xi Shan Jing": "Two hundred miles to the west, it is called Lutai Mountain. There are many white jades on it, silver on the bottom, and many yaks, rams, and white horses. There are birds, which look like A male rooster has a human face, and a mallard and a rooster, it crows by itself, and when you see it, you have soldiers."
