"As for you not being able to find me... that's because some time ago, I went to visit relatives who live out of town. Suddenly something urgent happened. I was in a hurry to leave, so naturally I didn't have time to leave you a message."
"So that's it." Ye Buhui suddenly realized and asked again: "Did your visit to relatives go smoothly this time?"
"It's going well." Du Chenglin hit his mouth with his fist, coughed a few more times, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Although I am sick and have some troubles, my relatives are doing well, and the young child has obviously got someone to rely on.
, I am quite relieved that I will no longer be plotted by outsiders."
"That's good." After listening to Du Chenglin's words, Ye Buhui immediately guessed that Mr. Du was afraid that the young master was the head of the family where Mr. Du went to visit relatives. Mr. Du went there because he was worried. Now that he is back, he feels relieved.
Weak, you can manage servants and intimidate outsiders.
And this obviously involved other people's private matters, so Ye Buhui naturally couldn't ask further questions.
The topic between her and Du Chenglin turned to chess.
"Go and sign up. There is a place to play chess here. When you sign up, I will play a few games with you and let me see if you have wasted your homework during this period." Du Chenglin glanced at the registration office.
, said with a smile, without stepping forward.
He was a chess master, and it was a big deal when he stepped forward, so he wasted time.
"Okay!" Ye Buhui's eyes lit up and he felt a sharp energy in Mr. Du's body. This is the aura that only a chess player with a fighting spirit can exude.
Ye Buhui, who had not played against Mr. Du for a long time, was a little excited and signed up immediately, not even paying attention to the way the person in charge of recording looked at her.
It was simply because she came in with Mr. Du and looked familiar, which aroused the curiosity of others.
Ye Buhui also has his own pride. Being noticed because of Mr. Du's talent does not make Ye Buhui feel honored, but instead arouses her fighting spirit.
She feels that she has made a lot of progress these days.
"Mr. Du, please." There is naturally a place to play chess in the chess hall. After hearing the chess master's request for a chess hall, he immediately sent someone to lead him to Mei Pavilion.
There are plum bushes outside the Plum Pavilion, and the fragrance is lingering. The floor is paved inside, and there is a stove, so it is not cold.
There were two seats in a clean room. Sitting down, Ye Buhui saluted Du Chenglin, his almond-shaped eyes full of fighting spirit.
Du Chenglin saw it and smiled: "Please."
The two of them jumped into the battle.
"The chess master is here and he is playing chess with a lady. Who is this lady?"
"I heard from the information that she is the chess master of Futaba Mansion. She came to Beijing to participate in the chess championship. She didn't want to be appreciated by the chess master."
Someone recognized Du Chenglin, and some people watching the battle quickly gathered around him. However, these people were all well-educated and tried to speak as quietly as possible.
The two people playing chess, whether they were old or young, were not affected. They held their breath and concentrated on playing chess.
The people who accompanied Ye Buhui and the ones who were protecting him also knew a little bit about chess, and they were looking at it with rapt attention.
It wasn't until the two of them played a few games, with Ye Buhui losing twice and drawing two, that they stopped.
"Your chess skills have improved." Du Chenglin looked at Ye Buhui, feeling quite satisfied.
Ye Buhui smiled: "This is the result of your guidance."
"Guidance doesn't count, let's learn together." Du Chenglin waved his hands to everyone around him to disperse, and then said softly to Ye Buhui: "I returned to Beijing this time and changed my residence. It's near the chess hall, not too far away.
On the same street, opposite the house is Zhang's pawnshop. If you have nothing to do, you can come to me and discuss with me often."
Ye Buhui was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Du, I will definitely bother you someday, as long as you don't think I'm annoying."
She said this playfully after expressing her gratitude.
Du Chenglin was amused by her and was about to say something. Suddenly his face changed and his expression became a little complicated. He looked at one place and murmured: "It's such a familiar Qi machine..."
This sentence was spoken in a very low voice. If Ye Buhui had not washed his marrow and cut his sutras, and his five senses had been enhanced, he might not have been able to hear them clearly.
But even after hearing this sentence clearly, she didn't understand what it meant.
At the same time, more than ten miles away from the imperial city, Qingxu Temple saw dense pine and cypress trees outside the window, which was a bit heavy. A dozen Taoist priests stood motionless.
And when he tightened it, he saw a circle of candles and faint flames in the room.
Zheng Yingci is sitting cross-legged inside, but he is not the core, the core is Liu Zhan.
Both Liu Zhan and Zheng Yingci have changed a lot since they left Panlong Lake that day. Their complexions have obviously improved, and their injuries have been significantly reduced by half.
It was supposed to be a peaceful day, but at dawn, when the first ray of sunlight appeared, the Dharma could be collected. At this time, Liu Zhan, who was sitting cross-legged among the candles, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Not good!" The moment he regained consciousness, this real person, who even though he was seriously injured, could think of being wary of Cao Yiyan without losing his position, was shocked at this moment.
Although it was not fully done yet, with a wave of his hand, following a gust of wind, he and the candlelight around Zheng Yingci were all extinguished in an instant.
The technique was interrupted in the middle, and both Liu Zhan and Zheng Yingci groaned, showing some backlash.
But now Liu Zhan couldn't care less and said to Zheng Yingci who had just woken up: "Quickly change your clothes and follow me into the palace immediately!"
He shouted again: "Xiao Shunzi!"
A sharp voice came from outside the courtyard: "Master Tao, my servant is here!"
Liu Zhan's face was a little pale. He stood at the door and took a look and ordered: "I have something urgent to see the emperor. You should immediately follow the emergency route."
"Yes!" The eunuch glanced at him in surprise, but without saying a word, he immediately leaned over and responded, then turned around and went to do it.
The two of them got up and changed their clothes.
According to the rules of the imperial court, even Taoist priests with imperial titles need to change into official uniforms if they want to enter the palace.
Zheng Yingci does not need to change his official uniform, but he is a civil servant, so the clothes he is wearing are vulgar and immoral, so naturally they are not suitable.
Although he didn't know what Master was so anxious about, Zheng Yingci, who had never seen Master in such a hurry, felt excited. After three strokes, five divided by two, he changed into the uniform for the exam.
As soon as I came out of the house, I saw my master summoning the small faith eagle. In addition to them in the capital, there was also senior brother Cao Yiyan.
Is Master informing Senior Brother?
When Zheng Yingci walked over, she heard the master writing in a hurry and casually saying the content: "...You should pack up quickly and wait at the gate of the palace. The mysterious monster who appeared in the prince's case has appeared again!"
After saying that, he asked Zheng Yingci to leave quickly.
Yufu
Yu Qianzhi did not have to go to court and was an idle official with no real power. At this time, he was slowly eating breakfast in the hall. Suddenly, the hand holding the chopsticks suddenly shook and the chopsticks fell directly on the table. One of them rolled.
After a few laps, he even fell from the table to the ground.
The boy who was standing was startled. When he saw what the master looked like at this moment, he felt even colder in his heart.
When I saw Yu Qianzhi, who always looked gentle, his face changed drastically and his eyes turned red.
"Bold, dare to show up at this time!"
Leaving behind such a meaningless sentence, he stopped eating breakfast and directly ordered: "Go and get my official uniform quickly, I want to enter the palace immediately!"
No one knows what Yu Qianzhi actually knew.
Because the New Year is about to come, the capital is full of celebrations, but suddenly, something breaks the peace.
Ye Buhui frowned slightly as she walked out of the door. Although she could feel that something had happened, she had no way to find out the truth. She could only endure the uneasiness in her heart and left Du Chenglin in a hurry before leaving.
Chess Hall.
In the distance, several bells rang loudly. The sound spread far away, and the lingering sound was difficult to disappear. The guards of the Fang Mansion who followed her changed their faces when they heard the bells.
"What happened?" Ye Buhui heard this voice for the first time.
"This is martial law in the capital. Something big must have happened. When you go back, be vigilant and don't make any mistakes!" The chief of the Hou Mansion looked at the restless people fiercely and whispered: "Also, there might be something wrong along the way.
After the inspection, bring out the token from the Marquis Mansion."
Their mission is to protect this lady from getting into trouble in the capital. If something happens to her in his own hands, the young Marquis will definitely let them taste the family's skills.
It is unacceptable for people who are tied to the interests of the Fang government, whether they are directly rejected by the young marquis or to enforce family laws.
"Madam, please get in the car. The capital is under martial law. People on the street may be interrogated soon. We have to go back quickly to avoid getting into trouble." After announcing their companions, the team immediately looked at the sound of the bell.
Ye Buhui, who was lost in thought, said.
Ye Bugui came back to his senses and nodded: "Thank you."
I got on the bullock cart directly.
The ox cart quickly left the chess hall and returned to Qingyuan Temple at twice the speed it came in.
The sun was clearly rising, but there were fewer pedestrians on the road than when it was not fully lit up. At this moment, Ye Buhui thought of Su Ziji even more strongly in his heart.
"New Year is coming, where are you?"
imperial ship
"Ouch, pull up!"
Of course, killing the snake demon cannot be left alone. Among other things, skinning it and presenting it to the emperor is a great achievement. There was a rush of work at the moment. The ships were repaired and repaired, diverted and diverted, and a cargo was left empty (
Merchant) ship, soldiers pulled the snake corpse aboard.
The entire cabin of a merchant ship was filled with snake carcasses, which were surprisingly good. The tail was sticking out, and the ferocious look made people tremble with fear.
The imperial envoy repeatedly issued strict orders and promised a reward of two hundred taels of silver, so that the bold boatmen and sailors were willing to sail the ship.
But at this time, Su Ziji lost his mind. He originally killed the snake demon and Sun Buhan, but at that time, half of the red sandalwood tree moved, but it did not appear.
At this time, I just heard a "buzz" and floated on the side of the ship.
"Is it possible to intercept and kill Sun Buhan and influence the seed of human nature to be absorbed by the Panlong Heart Technique (4850/6000) (this move is irreversible)?"
This was the first time that humane seeds were produced by just killing a demon. Su Ziji didn't agree immediately. He looked at it carefully and fixed his eyes on the word "influence".
"Isn't it possible that Sun Buhan still plays an important role in influencing humanity?"
After pondering for a long time, I clicked "Yes"
"The Panlong Heart Technique absorbs the seeds of humanity, [The Panlong Heart Technique] is 3000, upgraded by 7 levels (1850/7000)"
