After a long time, Yan Dan took a long sigh of relief: "This disguise technique is very powerful, and this method of killing people is also very powerful."
Tang Zhou whispered: "At least now I know that these things are inseparable from the Palace Master Shenxiao."
"Although I know it, it's still the same as I don't know. Who is Palace Master Shenxiao, how does he look, how old is he, and what is his purpose in doing this? It's definitely his disguise, or his real face. The only thing I know is that the Shenxiao Palace is in a place called Jinghu Shuiyue, and where is Jinghu Shuiyue, I'm afraid no one will know." Yan Dan softly.
Tang Zhou smiled slightly: "Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Now that this is the case, we have no other way."
Yan Dan thought for a while, and it was true, no one else was in a hurry, and she had nothing to worry about.
"Actually, the blood letter left by Miss Shen says that she wants to cut off the person's thoughts of her life. If that person is talking about Palace Master Shenxiao, what is she about to cut off his thoughts?" Yan Dan thought thoughtfully. . Tang Zhou has already said, "Could it be the Seven Lights Divine Jade?"
Yan Dan smiled and said, "Senior brother, your reaction has been much quicker recently. Others say that you are close to Zhu Zhechi, and it really makes sense."
Tang Zhou smiled and shook his head, walking back slowly with her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Dan continued: "When I first saw the mountain master, I didn't know how miserable it was for him. After 20 years of training, it is now evenly matched, and the winners and losers are evenly divided. So If you suffer a lot, you will learn to be smart.”
"The mountain master you said was the fish spirit who was with you last time?"
"how do you know?"
Tang Zhou smiled lightly: "The monsters I met in the past were not half as powerful as him, and such cultivation is rare."
While speaking, he had already walked back to the vicinity of the carriage. Liu Weiyang was sitting beside the fire, the beating flames reflected on his face, and his expression was a little gloomy, but if you look closely, you will find that he has been expressionless. Yan Dan suddenly thought that Liu Weiyang would happen to appear at this time, and he was also in Qingshi Town before saying that. Although this speculation is bold, it cannot be said that it is necessarily wrong.
She recalled what she had seen and heard about the Palace Master Shenxiao in the secret passage of the ancient tomb, and then turned to look at Liu Weiyang, she couldn't help but think, how could this young master Liu be so dumb, what did she do with such a saw-mouth gourd? Compared with the Palace Master Shenxiao, I am really sorry for the Palace Master Shenxiao.
Yan Dan slowly took a few steps closer and said softly, "Young Master Liu?"
Liu Weiyang turned to look at her calmly. Seeing such indifferent eyes, Yan Dan couldn't help but sneer, and asked cautiously, "Young Master Liu, are you also a cultivator?"
Liu Weiyang nodded slightly.
"Cultivation is also divided into two and four factions. The duties include Zhaidui, Fulu, Transcendence of Souls, and alchemy. Alchemy has the difference between inner alchemy and outer alchemy. Each stream also distinguishes between cultivation and yin and yang. Which one are you?"
Liu Weiyang replied slowly, "Neither."
"what?"
Liu Weiyang brushed his sleeves, turned and lay down to sleep.
Yan Dan suddenly felt that he was a fool for delusional questioning from him.
When the sun rose the next day, the group continued on their way.
"Liu Gongzi, how boring is it to play chess alone, why don't you let me accompany you in the next game?" Yan Dan thought about why he just lost two or three stones, coaxed him to be happy, and then asked himself a question. Must answer.
After a cup of tea.
"I'm here, but I put it in the wrong place with a shake of my hand..."
Tang Zhou looked sideways.
After two cups of tea kung fu.
"I'm sorry, I brought the sleeves just now, and I'll review this one?"
Xuer looked sideways.
Another half of the tea time passed, Yan Dan stared blankly at the chessboard that was occupied by Bai Zi, and said slowly, "One more game."
As the sun went down, Liu Weiyang picked up a chess piece with his two fingers, landed on the chessboard with a snap, and then began to count how many hands he had won. Yan Dan collapsed and cried to Tang Zhou: "He's too cruel, he didn't leave me a corner..."
Tang Zhou looked at her sympathetically: "Actually, my master and Brother Liu have not won a game for ten years, and you have only played for one day."
"Ten years? He could outperform your master at chess at the age of ten?"
Tang Zhou pondered for a while, then shook his head: "I heard what Master said, I've only known Brother Liu for a year or two. However, Master once said accidentally that Brother Liu has accomplished a lot in Taoism, so his appearance hasn't changed much. Maybe ten years ago and now it’s almost the same.”
The next day, in a bumpy carriage.
Liu Weiyang put out the chessboard and started to play against himself.
Yan Dan gritted his teeth and moved over, and said firmly, "I'll accompany you again."
Liu Weiyang put the box containing Heizi by her hand, which was a draw.
When the sun went down again, Yan Dan stumbled to Xu'er's side and cried, "Your son is too ruthless, how could he play chess like this..."
Liu Weiyang picked up a white stone and tapped it on the chessboard, and said slowly, "I lost three stones less than yesterday."
Xu'er smiled slightly and said, "Miss Yan, you can see that my son said that you have improved. You must know that Master Tang's master has lost more and more in recent years."
On the third day, in a bumpy carriage. (Everyone: Do you dare to say that you are not deliberately cheating the number of words? Su: = mouth = so obvious? I thought I had done it very carefully. Everyone: ... )
Liu Weiyang gently lifted the lid of the tea cup, blew off the tea leaves floating on it, and took a slow sip. At this time, Yan Dan moved over firmly and said firmly, "Come on today."
Liu Weiyang raised his eyebrows, looked at her lightly for a while, and then quietly took out the chessboard.
When the dark night overwhelmed the setting sun again, even the dark and sullen driver who was driving the car outside came in to see it. "Crack", the last piece was settled, and the chessboard was full of corpses. Yan Dan was lying on the low table, Ling Chi Liu Weiyang with resentful eyes. The latter counted against the chessboard, suddenly made a "um", then quickly counted again, raised his head and said, "Next tomorrow?"
Yan Dan clenched his fists and said without hesitation, "Okay."
On the fourth day, amid the turbulent carriage (a certain Su: I promise this time I'm definitely not making up the number of words! Everyone: ... ), the capital city of Xiang is finally in sight.
Yan Dan just thought, why did she want to play against Liu Weiyang
… It seems that now is too far from the original purpose.
"I plan to go home first, and come back to see my tutor in a few days, so I won't go up the mountain with Brother Liu." Tang Zhou and Liu Weiyang said goodbye, then turned to look at Yan Dan, "Let's go."
Liu Weiyang walked past Yan Dan and asked lightly, "Are your feet better?"
Yan Dan immediately felt a dull pain in her ankle, and a crisp and pleasant "click" echoed in her ear, and immediately said, "It's much better." If she dared to say something wrong, would he be treated again like that day? ? In this way, there is no injury, but there is also an injury, and a small injury becomes a major injury.
Liu Weiyang nodded and walked over.
Tang Zhou said lightly: "As far as I know, Brother Liu, he shouldn't care about you."
Yan Dan said: "I know. He's just a gourd with a saw mouth. Either he doesn't speak, and when he speaks, it must have other meanings." She said this with a strange expression: "Tang Zhou, tell me honestly, your master Is it difficult to find a place to live, and the mountain road is still very steep?"
Tang Zhou heard the words and nodded silently.
Yan Dan immediately stretched out his wrist with a sad expression: "Tang Zhou, quickly remove the ban, I can't do anything without sorcery..."
"If you have witchcraft, I am afraid that you will scare my family."
"Then don't take me to your house."
"no."
"Tang Zhou, you have to be a little selfish from time to time. It's really hard for you to spare no effort to help the heavens and take care of me yourself..."
"It's not hard, really."
"..." Yan Dan was very depressed.
Xiang is worthy of being the old capital of the old dynasty, and its prosperity is not even inferior to that of the southern capital. There are many shops on both sides of the four main streets. There are tea houses, wine shops, temples and public houses. The streets were bustling with people, and the stream was endless.
Yan Dan followed Tang Zhou through the lively market, turned into a quiet alley, and a mansion with a single door and a single courtyard stood in front of him. The red lacquered copper ring gate is flanked by mighty stone lions on both sides. Above the lintel is a golden plaque with the word "Tang Fu" written on it. She looked at Tang Zhou suspiciously: "You are not mistaken, this is your home?"
Tang Zhou didn't answer, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Yan Dan thought that the servants of some big families in the mortal world also followed the surname of the head of the family, and immediately understood. The red lacquered door opened with a creak, and behind the door stood a steward in brocade. When he saw Tang Zhou, he immediately said, "Young master, are you back? The master and his wife are thinking about you."
"..." Yan Dan became very depressed again.
"Cousin, it's fortunate that you're back. My aunt talks about you every day. My ears almost grow calluses." I just heard a young and clear voice coming from behind, a beautifully dressed teenager from Yan Dan He walked by and slapped Tang Zhou on the shoulder with a smile.
Tang Zhou smiled slightly: "The days away from home are longer this time." He paused and said, "You don't look like you just came back from the academy."
The boy said shyly, "Cousin, don't tell your uncle and aunt that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming. I have a few friends who want to win the dragon boat race, so I will go to the riverside to see it."
"Don't worry, I won't tell you, but you have to wipe your face first." Tang Zhou turned his head and glanced at Yan Dan who was standing under the steps, and Yan Dan immediately stepped forward consciously.
The boy looked at her and said with a smile, "Cousin, who is this girl?"
Tang Zhou said casually, "My junior sister Yan Dan."
Yan Dan couldn't help but wonder, he now calls her his junior sister to his family, and when he meets a real junior sister, who will she become? Shouldn't it be my cousin
The young man stared at Yan Dan, his mouth opened slightly, very shocked: "Cousin, I asked you before what your junior sister looks like. You said at that time that her face was as black as charcoal, and she was capable of carrying a tripod. Jin Wu, the female warrior. This, this girl Yan is really different from what you said... "
Yan Dan couldn't help but think that Tang Zhou's words were really vicious.
Tang Zhou coughed lightly: "This is my cousin Jing Ling."
Yan Dan lowered her head halfway, and said sweetly, "Young Master Jing." She could swear to God that she would absolutely follow the rules of mortal women, not to show her teeth, not to look up at others, but Jing Ling blushed, He stammered back, "Miss Yan, you don't need to see the outside world like this, just call me Jingling."
Tang Zhou looked back at her.
Yan Dan took advantage of Jing Ling to sneak back into the room quietly, and said in a low voice, "Humans and monsters have different paths. If there is an adulterer | love will be struck by thunder and lightning, I will never have any thoughts about a mortal."
Tang Zhou pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Really."
"Miss Yan is an introductory disciple of Qiu Guanzhu? Life on the mountain is too harsh for a girl like you, right?" Madam Tang picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of fish into her bowl. At first glance, she looked like a woman from a big family, with a greasy complexion, a dignified look at the corners of her brows and eyes, and the tear mole at the corner of her eyes added a bit of charm to her appearance.
Yan Dan looked at Tang Zhou, and he lowered his head to grab the rice noncommittally, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "The Taoist temple is cultivated in the mountains, the road is not easy to walk, and it is not easy to get in and out. But my master said that the great responsibility of heaven, You must endure some hardships and endure what others can't bear, in order to be a superior person."
Uncle Tang nodded with satisfaction: "Well said."
"Where is Miss Yan from? What family do you have?" Mrs. Tang looked at her tenderly with a smile in her eyes.
Yan Dan couldn't help immersed in the other party's gentle eyes, and suddenly a shock: According to the rules of the world, a man's parents asked a woman who was in her family and where she lived. Female. Either way, she might not be able to bear it.
"I don't know who else is in my family. It's been a long time since Master brought me back."
Madam Tang was startled, and immediately said, "Look at me, what are you asking this for? Miss Yan, don't be sad, you can't escape from birth, old age, sickness and death."
Yan Dan smiled obediently, and said softly, "I know, besides, my family is only far away. We will be reunited one day." As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Tang's eyes suddenly turned red. Wiping the corners of her eyes with the silk scarf on her hands, she reached out and touched her head: "You child..."
Yan Dan just felt that the other person's hand stroking her hair was too gentle, and blurted out a sentence: "It's very like a mother..." Madam Tang smiled with tears, looked at her for a long time with loving eyes, and slowly spit out a few words: "Then I'll be your mother, okay?" Yan Dan was stunned.
Tang Zhou put down his chopsticks, the expression on his face could not tell if it was shock or something else: "Mother..."
"My child's nature is still good. Although he sometimes rushes forward, he is still thoughtful in dealing with others and doing things. He likes to keep some words in his heart, but he is too embarrassed to say it."
Yan Dan murmured in his heart: From the moment he realized it, it was common for him to be sarcastic and sarcastic, and he never felt embarrassed to say it.
Tang Zhou couldn't help but said, "Mother, it's getting late, and Junior Sister is also tired. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Madam Tang said immediately, "Yes, yes, I forgot, you still came back after a long journey. Xiao Cui, take Miss Yan to the guest room, and let someone prepare hot water. You should wash and sleep earlier." The last sentence was said to Yan Dan.
Yan Dan still smiled obediently: "Thank you Auntie." She just wanted to jump up immediately and run away, but she stood up and said Ann, and just walked out of the hall slowly.
She walked outside the hall and heard Mrs. Tang's gentle voice coming from inside: "Although Miss Yan's background doesn't match you, but there is nothing to say about her appearance, I think you like her too."
She could swear to God or swear, but she really didn't intend to hear these words. It's just that although her magic method is not there, her eyes and ears are sensitive but it has not changed. The voice had to be poured in, but she couldn't help it. She looked at the restraint on her wrist, and couldn't help thinking, it's better to think of a way to get out quickly, otherwise, it would really be a different way for the monster to go down.
