In the dead of night, the camp is as bright as a lamp.
The dim light inside the tent outlines a silhouette on the tent cloth holding a book of poetry in his hands, looking like a diligent scholar studying hard by burning the midnight oil.
Behind the silhouette, there is a round fur ball, lying with its paws facing the sky and its head tilted, sleeping without knowing whether it is life or death.
Ye Jingtang holds a scroll in his left hand and sits on the floor, with his right hand resting on his right knee and a pot of wine in his hand. His posture is like Guan Gong reading the Spring and Autumn Period under the moon.
When I saw something fascinating, I picked up a small drink and took a sip. I was so absorbed in it that I almost forgot myself. I didn’t even know how long I had been looking at it.
Although staying up late to read miscellaneous books is not in line with the style of an expert, it is not easy to encounter a few books in a lifetime that you can read and remember forever. Once you pick it up, you will never put it down until you finish it.
Fortunately, the book stalls in the market are very conscientious. The books they bought were all hardcover and complete, with no missing chapters or pages. Otherwise, if the chapters were broken in half, the Night Terror Hall would probably come to the author's house overnight to borrow the book.
Sharpen the chilong knife in front of the whetstone.
If nothing else goes wrong, by the time the Night Terror Hall recovered its senses, it was already getting light and there were roosters crowing and dogs barking outside.
But it was a pity that when the Night Terror Hall was about to see the attraction, there was suddenly the sound of slight footsteps outside.
Ta Ta ~
Ye Jingtang's ears twitched, but he didn't raise his head. He just turned around slightly and covered the book with his body:
"I'm back. Go to bed early, I'll keep watch."
Ta Ta ~
The footsteps came closer and closer to the tent, but no words were spoken, and the sound of breathing was a bit wrong.
??
Ye Jingtang didn't know how much perseverance he had to use before he took his eyes away from the book and looked back at the door. As a result, he was stunned when he saw it.
The candle flame was dim, illuminating every corner of the tent.
Xuanji, the real person, was wearing a snow-colored white dress, standing slim at the door. Her cheeks, which were already quite charming, were slightly red at this moment. Her peach blossom eyes, which seemed drunk but not drunk, looked very bright under the candlelight, staring straight at him.
, glanced from top to bottom, and then raised his eyes to look around, as if he was looking at something interesting.
Ye Jingtang looked around at the clean and tidy room. Naturally, he was confused. He thought that Master Xuanji was too drunk, so he stood up:
"Fairy Lu?"
"Hey~ turn around!"
"Um?"
When Ye Jingtang saw Xuanji's face turned red suddenly, he quickly turned his head and looked away, his tone was shy and angry, and his movements naturally froze. He looked down first - his clothes were neatly dressed, and he was not nervous...
What are you shy about?
At the same time, in the eyes of Master Xuanji.
Master Xuanji just took some 'Dreamlike Powder', and found that this drug is really mysterious. Her mind is very clear, but her vision has the effect of 'all wishes come true'. Tables, chairs, benches, etc. seem to come to life, showing
The colors are quite fantastic, and so are the scenery outside and the characters in the eyes - just like accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms, but not uncomfortable.
When Xuanji walked into the tent and saw the bird lying on the pillow, the bird's snow-white feathers turned into colorful colors.
As for Ye Jingtang, who was immersed in reading next to him, the content in the book also changed into erotic pictures of men and women - no, this seems to have not changed, it is erotic pictures...
?
While Master Xuanji was secretly pondering, he suddenly noticed that Ye Jingtang had stood up, and the elegant black robe on his body was floating like petals, revealing his thick chest muscles, strong abdominal muscles, and thick...
"Eh~"
Master Xuanji was caught off guard, quickly turned his head and said:
"Turn around!"
However, after finishing speaking, Master Xuanji reacted and quickly turned his gaze back to think more seriously.
Then Ye Jingtang turned into a young man wearing coarse linen clothes, holding a few small fishes in his hands, and the colorful chicken next to him turned into black briquettes...
"Eh?"
Master Xuanji felt that this experience was so wonderful, that Dreaming in Wonderland was nothing more than this. She walked up slowly, raised her hand and pinched Ye Jingtang's face...
???
Ye Jingtang saw Master Xuanji coming over with bright eyes and touched his face. He was obviously a little panicked. He took a step back and held Master Xuanji's hand:
"Xianzi Lu, you...are you drunk?"
"Don't move."
Master Xuanji opened her hands, pinched Ye Jingtang's face with both hands, and pulled it into a flat cake.
Then I wanted to touch the fish in my hand, but as soon as I got closer, the fish turned back into a book. It seemed that the drug was indeed hallucinogenic and could not make dreams come true.
Ye Jingtang stood alone on the floor, looking at the drunk and crazy Master Xuanji in front of him. He was really worried. He raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes:
"Xianzi Lu? Have you taken any Chinese medicine?"
Master Xuanji knew that Ye Jingtang couldn't empathize with her, so she probably looked like a fool, so she took out the small red medicine bottle, dipped some on it with her little finger, and put it to Ye Jingtang's nose:
"You try too."
Ye Jingtang looked at the fussy Master Xuanji, how dare he touch this unknown object, and quickly raised his hand to block:
"What's this"
"Good thing, I won't harm you, why are you hiding? Try it."
"..."
Ye Jingtang's eyes were quite helpless, but after thinking about it, he still obeyed his orders and asked Master Xuanji to wipe it under the tip of his nose. As a result, he immediately smelled a strange fragrance, and Ao Ye's tired mind after studying hard became a little clearer.
Seeing the night terror, Master Xuanji's eyes lit up, and he stopped with satisfaction:
"how?"
"Uh-huh?"
Ye Jingtang was silent for a moment, secretly feeling the changes in his body, when he suddenly found the slim Fairy Lu in front of her. Her white dress gradually became translucent under the light, and she could vaguely see her skin color and the outline of her waist and hips...
?!
Ye Jingtang was startled. He blinked and looked carefully, and found that Xuanji's clothes were no longer transparent, but his cheeks became red and there were some beads of sweat, just like the last time he was drugged and rubbed against his face.
Usually...
"Is this a hallucinogenic drug?"
Ye Jingtang raised his hand and wiped it on Master Xuanji's forehead. He found that it felt warm to the touch, but there was no sweat. His eyes couldn't help but be surprised:
"This thing is really powerful. I feel that my mind is clear and I am not distracted. Why do I have hallucinations when I see things?"
Master Xuanji tried hard to keep calm in order to prevent Ye Jingtang's clothes from disappearing again. At the same time, he put on a serious look and asked:
"What did you see?"
"I……"
Ye Jingtang noticed that Xuanji's clothes seemed to be sliding down, and quickly raised his hand to help hold it back. However, he realized something was wrong and quickly stopped.
Seeing this, Master Xuanji understood the meaning and looked at Ye Jingtang who was trying hard to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor:
"So I was thinking about how I look without clothes! Okay, I usually pretend to be a gentleman, but now I can't hide my true nature? How else can you explain it?"
It was okay that Master Xuanji didn't speak. As soon as Yaoli's demonic tone came out, Ye Jingtang discovered that the beauty in white in front of him had two more fox ears on her head and nine big tails floating around behind her back.
Ye Jingtang blinked and took a step back:
"I don't seem to be clear-headed right now..."
"You just woke up on your own! I used it too. If I don't think about it in the wrong way, I won't be able to see what I shouldn't. You still want to lie?"
When Ye Jingtang slowly backed away, he found that while Master Xuanji was speaking, he was touching his cheek with the big fox's tail. He raised his hand to touch it, and naturally touched the air, and the tail was gone, and he stopped angrily:
"A gentleman talks about his deeds but not his heart. There is no perfect person in the world. This thing cannot be used indiscriminately. If you encounter danger, you and I will have hallucinations and be unprepared. Isn't something serious happening?"
Master Xuanji walked forward slowly: "This is not an illusion, but what is in your heart. How can you ignore the danger? Are your eyes so evasive, are you offending me and thinking about these inappropriate things?"
Ye Jingtang unknowingly hit the bed with his legs and sat down. The white vixen in front of him leaned down condescendingly, and his clothes turned hazy and translucent again, as if he wanted to hold him down and absorb the yang energy.
Ye Jingtang was really a little confused and said seriously:
"This drug affects the mind, making people easily provoked by others and causing hallucinations. Now I am calm and energetic, and I can no longer see any messy things."
"Are you still pretending? Your private parts are exposed again and you didn't notice?"
Ye Jingtang lowered his head and saw that there really was a tent. He concentrated attentively, trying to brush away this illusion.
The result was a blink of an eye...
Blinked again...
It doesn't seem like an illusion...
I go!
Ye Jingtang coughed lightly and felt that something was wrong. He forced himself to act as if nothing had happened and said calmly:
"It's you who is hallucinating. I feel calm and don't think about what you said. How could I see messy things? Get up..."
Seeing Ye Jingtang's expression as normal, Master Xuanji really thought that he was hallucinating. After thinking about it, he blinked his eyes to clear away the distracting thoughts, but in the end, the villain in front of him did not disappear.
So she followed her experience and raised her hand to touch it to make the illusion dissipate. The result...
"...?"
Before Ye Jingtang could react, he found that the hilt of his knife was being held by cold hands through the cloth. Then, the slightly confused eyes in front of him suddenly widened, and his hand instinctively tightened.
"hiss--"
Ye Jingtang felt as if she was being clamped by a vise, her face turned green at that moment, and she quickly grabbed her wrist:
"Hey, let go, let go..."
Master Xuanji shook his hand firmly, and when he realized it, his ears turned red and he quickly released his hand:
"You still dare to say that your heart is as calm as water? Is this how you feel?"
"I'm a normal man, you drugged me..."
"What I administered was a serious drug. You can't think so much if you are not lustful? Why didn't I think too much?"
"Aren't you thinking about why you turned your head to hide in the first place?"
"..."
Master Xuanji blinked and found that both parties seemed to be thinking wildly, and their accusations seemed unreasonable.
After a moment of silence, she resumed her posture as a worldly expert, sat down on the edge of the bed, and pretended to be meditating:
"Taoism emphasizes a pure mind and few desires. You and I will have inappropriate hallucinations, which only shows that this medicine is overpowering and that we are not strong-willed. Now we all calm down and train ourselves. Whoever is thinking and thinking is a puppy.
"
Ye Jingtang also felt that something was wrong with his concentration, so he took a deep breath and sat cross-legged next to him:
"Okay. As long as you are serious, I will definitely not have random thoughts... This thing is really interesting. Imagine that it is the top of the starry sky, surrounded by fireflies, um... and add some petals..."
Xuanji's eyes blinked, and after a moment, she raised her hand and caressed it in the air, apparently touching the imaginary fireflies.
Ye Jingtang also raised his hand and touched it here and there, not knowing what he was doing.
On the other side, lay the ground.
Although Niaoniao was deeply asleep, it was in a normal state. The two people were having a nervous breakdown in the room, so Niaoniao was naturally awakened.
At this time, Niaoniao was squatting on the floor, looking at the two people in messy clothes and dancing around, obviously a little scared...
——
At the same time, Honghe Town.
Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...
A cavalry team of more than ten people entered the town surrounded by loess walls in the middle of the night. Someone from the escort office immediately came to negotiate, and then the entire team headed towards the escort office.
Pei Xiangjun traveled thousands of miles and was inevitably exhausted. However, when he arrived at the place where his second brother once lived in seclusion, he cheered up and took Song Chi, Chen Yuanqing and other hall masters to the grave outside the town.
Song Chi, Chen Yuanqing and Pei Yuanfeng are basically the same age. They were brothers in the same sect when they were young. The last time they met, they were still young, but when they saw each other, they were like tombstones with white hair on their temples. It was inevitable that there were countless unspeakable sighs in their hearts.
A group of people stood in front of the grave to worship, and basically said nothing.
When Luo Ning arrived at her husband's hometown, she naturally had to pay homage to her father-in-law, whom she had never met before. However, Yunli was there and did not stay long. He just followed behind and offered incense sticks, then turned back with Zhe Yunli first.
Arrive at the town.
Dongfang Liren and the Empress Dowager live in the Escort Bureau. Now that everyone has arrived, they will be released from seclusion tomorrow according to the arrangements of the Night Terror Hall.
As the rebel leader, Luo Ning had never dared to get too close to the Queen Mother Jing. After arriving at the arranged room, she began to freshen up and get ready to have a good night's rest for the journey that would last for who knows how many days.
But just as Luo Ning lay down on the bed, before she could fall asleep, she suddenly heard something coming from a distance:
"Woo~~Woo~~"
The sound of a bird was chirping, but it was definitely not a bird. It was the code she used to communicate with her companions when she was walking around the world.
?!
When Luo Ning heard the familiar code, her cold face froze suddenly, and she felt like the sky was falling. She was like a wild man who ran away from her daughter-in-law, and her husband came to the door. Hesitation and nervousness filled her heart instantly.
Luo Ning fluttered her eyelashes and held it in for a long time. She didn't get up quietly until the birds chirped again outside, put on a green skirt, took a look in front of the mirror, and put on her usual cool expression, and then
He walked out the door quietly.
It was already dark, and everyone inside and outside the escort agency had taken a break, leaving only a few sentries patrolling outside.
Luo Ning used the excuse of taking a walk and came to a small street not far from the escort office. Soon she saw a figure in an alley with a loess wall.
The figure is dressed in a brocade robe, with a jade crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. His figure is slender and noble. His aura is somewhat similar to that of Prince Jing, but it is obviously much more solid than Prince Jing's pretended master style. He looks like a statue wherever he stands.
The majestic mountains that dominate the world, just the silhouette of him standing with his hands behind his back, are enough to make thousands of young people tremble with fear.
The moonlight in the alley was sultry, and one could see the figure's face, but a white mask blocked the original attractive face, revealing only a pair of eyes.
There is a hidden light in the eyes, like two indestructible cold-sharp blades, mixed with the absolute arrogance of being "invincible under the mountain".
Even though Luo Ning and Xue Baijin were old best friends, her heart tightened when she saw these eyes that made people tremble from the bottom of her heart. She subconsciously lowered her head and looked away, and slowly came to the front:
"You came."
"I asked you to wait for me, why did you leave early?"
Xue Baijin has been a man since he was a child, and it has become a habit to pay attention to his manners when going out. Even when he talks to Luo Ning, his voice is suppressed, sounding 'buzzing', which is both evil and domineering.
Luo Ning twitched her hair beside her ears, came to stand in front of her, and explained softly:
"The itinerary has been arranged. I just happened to go with them. I have asked Ping'er to leave a message for you... Inside is the Queen Mother and Prince Jing. How can you come here? If traces are found, the court will suspect that your motives are impure.
For Nanxiao Mountain, this is a disaster..."
Xue Baijin turned around, because he was similar in height to Da Benben, and when he looked down at the beauty in Tsing Yi, he looked like a husband:
"If I don't come over, how can I find you? You should have waited in the capital if you knew I was coming over..."
Luo Ning didn't dare to look at each other, so she looked around casually:
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What should we do now? You can't follow behind quietly. If your identity is exposed, I won't be able to stay in the capital any longer, and it will also harm Ye Jingtang's hidden identity..."
Xue Baijin didn't know why, but she felt that Ning'er, who had been clinging to her since she was a teenager, was a little strange. However, she hadn't seen her in nearly a year, so it was normal to feel this way. She didn't take it to heart and said:
"The Night Jing Hall has climbed too fast. It is impossible for such a genius to be inferior to others. Let him help find the Yuxi and the Emperor's Sword. If he finds it, he will not teach it to Pingtian..."
Luo Ning frowned: "Don't talk nonsense. Ye Jingtang has a good character and a righteous heart. He doesn't like fame, wealth and power. He has no intention of taking over the world by himself..."
"This has nothing to do with conquering the world. It is because of his upright character and righteousness that he will not give the Jade Seal Emperor Sword to the Pingtian Sect. I, the Pingtian Sect, take these to restore the previous dynasty. He knows the use and the consequences.
, as the eighth leader of the contemporary generation, he is a knight without seeking fame, wealth or power. As a knight, how could he hand over something like this that would bring war disaster to the people to the Pingtian Sect?"
Luo Ning blinked: "If Ye Jingtang thinks that there should be no military disaster, he will naturally have his own opinions. You..."
Xue Baijin raised his hand to stop his words and turned his head to look at Luo Ning:
"He has the world in his eyes, and I also have it in my eyes. Should the Pingtian Sect rebel or be recruited? I am free to weigh in my mind. Could it be that if he has an opinion, I have to listen to him? How can you be sure that his opinion is right?"
Luo Ning also knew this and could only say after thinking about it:
"Ye Jing Tang is someone I teach in Pingtian. If you refute your opinions and still can't convince each other, wouldn't it mean that your own family will start a fight?"
Xue Baijin knew that Ye Jingtang had helped Luo Ning do a lot of things, but he couldn't let people feel cold, so he said:
"It's normal for everyone to have their own opinions when it comes to matters. He won't hand over the Emperor's Sword and Jade Seal to the Pingtian Sect, so I won't make it difficult for him to find it. I came here in person this time because I am planning to handle this matter myself."
Luo Ning was happy when she heard that Xue Baijin was not going to see the king and that she would not reveal her secret for the time being. However, she immediately felt entangled and asked:
"You want me to dig for treasure with you?"
Xue Baijin nodded naturally: "We used to travel together in the world. If you don't accompany me, can I wander alone in the desert?"
"..."
Luo Ning had formed a team with someone else a long time ago, so she definitely didn't want to let go of the little thief, but she couldn't admit to getting a divorce now. Thinking about it, she could only say:
"Well... Ye Jingtang is young, but he is growing up too fast. With me as the leader, I can ensure that he is a die-hard loyalist of my Pingtian Sect; if he leaves for too long, let him act as a backstop in the capital alone.
It’s very possible that he was poached by the court right in front of him, so…”
Xue Baijin said calmly: "I have thought about these things. Yunli is sixteen and has reached the age of marriage..."
?!
Luo Ningru was struck by lightning, her eyes turned cold:
"Xue Baijin!"
"Um?"
The Great Hierarch Pingtian paused for a moment, but was frightened by Luo Ning's roar, and said softly:
"What's wrong?"
Luo Ning held her head high and her mind turned rapidly:
"The life-long affairs of my daughter's family should be decided by the daughter's family themselves. You are like a teacher, father and mother to Yunli. Is it possible that you still want to use Yunli as a bargaining chip to recruit troops? How can you have such an idea?"
"..."
Xue Baijin’s mouth opened under the mask:
"I didn't say a forced betrothal. Yunli is very clever. Just let Yunli follow Ye Jingtang. It would be best if the two of them fall in love. If not, Yunli can also become brothers of the opposite sex with his character... Say you are so
Why are you so excited? For such an outstanding young man as Ye Jingtang, who is about the same age as Yunli, he probably can’t find a more suitable son-in-law in the world. Don’t you want Yunli to find a good husband-in-law?"
Luo Ning felt that something was getting more and more wrong the more she talked about it. She couldn't answer this question, so she changed the subject and said:
"Okay, let me listen to your arrangements first. I don't dare to leave for a long time. I will go back first. I will say hello to Sanniang later and I will go out with you tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside the town. Come over quickly."
…
