When Chu Wanning finally woke up, it was noon.
Tapir Xianglu is really a good thing. He slept well last night, and there was no nightmare to disturb him. He yawned and sat up slowly.
"Ink burning?"
The apprentice who has always loved the bed more than him was not in the position where he slept last night, Chu nightning was slightly startled, so called.
No one cares.
He got up, straightened his clothes, and while tying up his long, mist-like hair, he walked to the compartment of the wing. The back of the Su embroidered screen depicting Yunyan Mountains is steaming with a thin layer of water, and it seems that someone is bathing behind.
"... The ink burns."
Chu nightning stood outside and called again.
Still no response.
Can't help but be suspicious, Chu nightning knocked on the wooden edge of the screen. After many times to no avail, he frowned and turned to the back of the screen.
This is a special place in the room for bathing and washing, and there is a big camphor wood tub in the middle. Chu nightning glanced at it, the water in it was full of hot water, and it was sprinkled with traditional Chinese medicine flowers and plants that the store had already placed, but only the people who took a bath were not seen.
But looking left and right, the guy's clothes were taken off and stacked on the wooden frame.
Could it be that he took a shower and ran out without clothes on
Chu nightning's forehead twitched, pressed down this terrible thought, pursed his thin lips, and his face was rather ugly.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard two "gudugudu" behind him.
Chu nightning turned back, only to see several bubbles in the large wooden barrel covered with petals and herbs.
- Is there anyone in there
When this thought came out, I heard the sound of "wow", a naked young man jumped out of the bucket like a dragon, and was shocked that Chu nightning took two steps back.
The young man seemed to be holding his breath underwater, so he didn't hear Chu Wanning calling him outside. He couldn't hold back before he stood up, exposing his upper body, and slamming the water beads on his hair, like a dog on the shore, All the water splashed on Chu night Ningyi.
"Ink burns!"
"Ah!" The man who shook his head was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened suddenly, obviously he didn't expect to see him as soon as he came out, and was extremely surprised, "Master!"
"you… "
His eyes swept across the youth's physique, and the shoulders and backs that were gradually growing had become very broad, with smooth and firm lines, full of youthful tension, and the water droplets gathered in clusters along the strong muscles of his chest, flowing down slowly. , with a dazzling sheen in the sun.
He was like one of those beautiful mermen, half floating on the water, his hair and eyes were wet, and there were even a few petals in his hair.
The ink burned the water droplets on his face, smiled and went to Chu nightning, his hands folded on the side of the barrel, his shoulder blades stretched like a leopard, and he looked up at him.
Chu nightning felt dizzy and his face was hot for a while, and subconsciously said: "What are you doing?"
"Take a shower."
"Morning?"
"Hey." A little guilty. In fact, at first, I wanted to suppress the evil fire, so I wanted to take a shower. Later, the fire was suppressed, but I also felt that my clothes were taken off, so I might as well take a good shower. After washing and washing, I was happy, and I dived into the bottom of the water to practice the method of holding my breath. Unexpectedly, Chu nightning collided with it.
"What are you laughing at?" Chu nightning frowned, his tone became colder, in an attempt to cover up his brain heat, "I don't know how to wake me up early, I am messing around here, throwing a piece of clothes in the west. One piece, combined—"
"Master. You... there is water here."
He raised his hand and wiped off the profile of Chu nightning.
"Tong."
The ink burned and he forgot that his hands were wet, and when he wiped his face for Chu nightning, it would only become more and more wet.
Chu nightning stood still, the air around him was cool, his face was very close, his lips were slightly pursed, only the eyelashes trembled.
It felt like he was training a hound, but the sly pup raised his head and arched his head to please him.
"... Get dressed and get out. We're getting ready to go back to the sect."
In the end, Chu nightning left such a sentence with a cold face and left.
It's just that where the ink burned and didn't see it, his ears were red.
Just like the places he didn't see, there were also a pair of wet, complicated, but still eager eyes that couldn't restrain themselves from looking for him until they disappeared around the corner.
The cuteness of the smile on the face of the burning ink disappeared, and it turned into a kind of hatred.
He slapped into the water angrily, and rubbed his face hard.
What the heck.
What's going on today
I just saw him when I was in the bath, I just raised my hand and touched his face.
The desire that was finally suppressed, turned out to be hard again...
"Why did you wear your clothes for so long?"
At the window, Chu nightning turned back, his clothes fluttered, and the fine hair blew through the jade-colored cheeks, and he blamed a little impatiently.
The ink burned and coughed a few times, and said vaguely: "I use magic to dry my hair, and it is not easy to use it, and it is slower. Master, don't blame it."
It's rare to see him speak so well, Chu nightning glanced at him unexpectedly, and said: "After washing up, go to pack up, we will rent a fairy boat to go back in a while, I don't want to use the sword, and the horse is tired of riding. .Walking by water, happy to be quiet."
"Oh, okay." Mo Ran didn't dare to look at him, and coughed a few times.
Chu nightning frowned: "What's wrong with your throat?"
"… nothing."
Turning around to pack the luggage, the two bought some dry food and snacks in the store, and then went to the pier to rent a boat for the journey.
When the boat traveled along the Yangtze River, when it reached a place where it couldn't work, it set up wooden wings and used magic as a support to travel high in the sky. Although it is not fast, it is better than being comfortable and secluded.
Eight days later, the two reached the summit of life and death, and the canoe stopped in front of the mountain gate.
The ink burned open the bamboo curtain and let Chu Wanning come out of the cabin first, and then followed him. At this time, the moon was hanging high, and it was late at night. In the letter, Elder Yuheng told Xue Zhengyi that he did not have to send someone to meet him. Welcome, so the two went up the stairs, and when they reached the entrance of the main gate, they met the four gatekeeper disciples.
"Elder Yuheng!"
"Young Master Mo!"
When the four disciples saw them, there was a hint of panic on their faces for some reason. Before the two could react, they fell to their knees, raised their heads and hurriedly said, "Elder, Young Master, there is someone in the group looking for you right now. What about the two enemies! The lord sent flying pigeons to pass the letter to let the two take refuge temporarily. It seems that this fat pigeon is still flying slowly, but it was not delivered! Don't go in!"
Chu nightning narrowed his eyes and asked: "What's the panic?"
"It's a person from the upper cultivation world, saying that the elder wants to cultivate evil arts and wants to take you to Tianyin Pavilion for interrogation!"
"Tianyin Pavilion?" Mo Ran said in shock, "Isn't that a prison set up by the ten major sects, specifically for the trial of unforgivable people?"
"Yeah! They came for the incident in Caidie Town!" One of the female disciples said in a panic, "Does the elder still remember? That's the time you were beaten with the stick!"
"That is at most abusing immortal techniques and involving mortals. The master has already been punished, why did he suddenly turn over the old account, and even alarmed the Tianyin Pavilion." Mo Ran frowned, "Also, the evil power is what happened?"
"We don't know the specifics, but people who heard it said that all the townspeople in Caidie Town died overnight, and the murderer was a half-immortal and half-ghost, as if he was instructed by someone. The ghost immortal has high magic power, and it is impossible for ordinary loose cultivators to drive her, so those in the upper cultivator world doubt... They suspect that this is what Elder Yuheng did!"
Chu nightning: "..."
"Pfft." Mo Ran smiled, "What do I still think it is, this kind of misunderstanding, just make it clear, why hide it." Then he turned to Chu Wanning and smiled, "Master, look at their brains. , let's get rid of a little monster, say that you are competing with your younger generation. You kill a big monster, and you suspect that you practice evil exercises and raise ghosts to hurt people. Then we just don't do anything, and learn from them to concentrate on meditating at home Cultivation is the best."
Chu nightning did not smile, he looked ugly, silent for a while, and asked: "The people in Caidie Town are dead?"
"It is said that there is no one alive."
"… "
Chu nightning closed his eyes.
Seeing his strange expression, the female disciple asked uneasy, "Elder?"
"Although this is not what I did, it may be caused by my inability to remove the devil. It is my responsibility, so I can't avoid it." Chu nightning slowly opened his eyes, "The ink burns, follow me in."
In the Wushan Hall, twelve bronze lamps with twined branches are arranged on both sides, each ten feet high, with nine layers of copper branches stretched out, from top to bottom, from short to long, a total of 356 candles. The hall on the top of life and death is brightly lit, like the daytime.
In the hall, Xue Zhengyi stood in military uniform, with leopard eyes like rings, like an iron statue, staring at the people below.
"Master Li, I'll tell you one last time. Elder Yuheng is not in the faction at the moment, and Xue Mou can guarantee that Caidie Town is not something he did deliberately. You don't want to talk about it... That …”
Madam Wang covered her sleeves beside her and said softly, "Yellow."
"Cough, don't believe in that yellow woman!" Xue Zhengyi waved his hand and said awe-inspiringly.
Mrs. Wang: "..."
In addition to the disciples on duty at the top of life and death, there are more than 30 people standing under the hall, almost all of them are dressed in green brocade robes, their arms are whiskers, and they wear the crown of the celestial silkworm. Disciple of the famous show "Bitan Village". The man at the head is about fifty years old, with two whiskers like catfish, fluttering in the wind, who is not Li Wuxin, the owner of Bitan Village
Li Wuxin twisted his long beard and said with a sneer: "Sect Master Xue, my respectful faction is also the right way, so I will reason with you. Caidie Town was born after the elder Yuheng of your faction and his disciples eliminated the demon, and this shock happened. Except for the three of them, Chen Yuanwai's family has never had any dealings with any immortal cultivators. There are all human and physical evidences. You have to recognize it, and you have to recognize it if you don't recognize it."
Xue Meng, who was standing beside his father, couldn't help it, and scolded: "You fucking still have the face to say? When have you managed the affairs of the lower world? On weekdays, one by one stands by and watches his ascension, and if something happens, he will plant me. Where does the truth come from Master!"
"Young Master Xue." Li Wuxin didn't get angry, but gave him a meaningful look and smiled, "I heard that Young Master is famous outside, known as the Younger of the Phoenix, but when I see it today, hehe, he is so self-restrained. It really opened the old man's eyes."
"you!"
Li Wuxin rolled his eyelids leisurely, then turned to look at Xue Zhengyi: "Sect Master Xue, I have strict laws in the cultivation world. Once you intervene in this matter, it will be thoroughly investigated to the end. If you insist on not handing over Yuheng and ink burning Wait, the old man had no choice but to invite the world's largest Confucianism sect to preside over justice!"
Xue Zhengyi has a strong temper. Hearing him say this, he is quite contemptuous: "Huh. I know that your Bitao Villa is on good terms with Confucianism, but even if Nangong Liu himself stands in front of me today, I still say that - no friendship. People, this matter has nothing to do with Yuheng."
Xue Meng also said: "Master Li, please come back. If you leave, you won't send it."
"Have you seen it? You have seen it! They are so unreasonable and filthy!" A man's trembling voice suddenly burst out from the crowd, "The man named Mo stole something from my friend, we are polite. Going up the mountain to find an explanation, they also coaxed us away like this rudely! Master Li, have you seen it? If you continue to do evil from the top of life and death, the lower cultivation world will be over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft laugh in the hallway.
When everyone turned around, they saw a young man in blue clothes and light armor leaning on the red lacquer door, looking at the scene in the hall lazily.
The young man is very handsome, and his skin is still tight and delicate under such candlelight, as if it will glow.
"Young Master Chang, when did I steal something from your friend?" The young man smiled softly and cutely, "Tell me, that Rong San'er... No, maybe it was Rong Jiu, I can't remember. . Anyway, is that wonderful person your friend or your concubine? You are so honest, I am afraid he will be sad. "
The one crying over there is none other than Chang Shi, a wealthy businessman in Yizhou who said earlier that he would be on the verge of death.
Chang Gongzi turned back suddenly, and followed the sound to see the ink burning appeared. First, his expression changed, followed by a flash of light in his eyes, and then he howled miserably:
"Mo Weiyu, you bastard, Jiu'er and I are friends, and I am innocent, and now he was poisoned by your group of demons and died tragically, and you even spit blood and framed him!"
"What?" The ink burned, his eyes widened slightly, "Rong Jiu died?"
Mr. Chang was indignant, with tears in his eyes: "His parents are also from Caidie Town. They went back to their hometown to visit relatives a few days ago, and this happened. If he hadn't gone, how would I have known that you and your master went together? These evil things! I won't go to ask Li Zhuangzhu for justice!"
But Mo Ran had no affection for Rong Jiu. After being surprised, he waved his hand impatiently: "What is the friendship between the pestle and the mortar, you are the pestle, he is the mortar? With the pestle and the mortar, where are you innocent?"
"Ink, ink burns!" Chang Gongzi didn't expect him to speak like this, and said in anger, "You, you hooligan who doesn't know big characters! You, you—"
"Cough..." Madam Wang couldn't hold back her face.
On the other hand, Xue Zhengyi blinked his eyes without saying a word, and he was pestering. It was not a good word when he heard it. He felt that what his nephew said was very reasonable, and there was nothing wrong with it.
In the darkness of the night, a sigh suddenly came out. The sound was like a broken jade in Kunshan. The ice lake began to dissolve. It was indescribably low and beautiful.
Unceremoniously, he slapped the ink on his face.
"Foul language, the acquaintance of the pestle and jiu is talking about the friendship between Gongsha Mu Wuyou regardless of poverty." Chu nightning appeared at the door with a black face, and said angrily, "It will embarrass me, and the pestle will make a mess at the door. Even, don't get out of here!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
Xue Meng and the teacher saw him coldly, and they were both surprised and happy, and came to greet him.
Xue Zhengyi opened his eyes wide, annoyed and helpless: "Yuheng, why did you come back suddenly?"
"If I don't return, how long are you going to hold on alone?" Chu nightning stepped into the Wushan Temple, and a handsome and handsome face appeared more elegant and innocent like a fairy in the candlelight. He stood still in front of the golden seat of the main hall, nodded with Xue Zhengyi, and then turned around lightly, flicking his sleeves.
"Chu Wanning at the top of life and death, living in the seat of the elders of Yuheng, I heard that you have something to ask, but it is disrespectful." To Li Wuxin's stunned eyes, Chu Wanning's eyes were like smoke, and he glanced over and said lightly. .
"See you please."

I don't know if anyone has forgotten that Rong Jiu and Chang Gongzi are the little shepherd who bullied after Feeding Yu was reborn, and that little shepherd's concubine.
