A gloomy wind blew, Zheng Yunlong opened his eyes, felt something pressing on his outstretched arm, and looked sideways to see the woman lying in his arm.
The two men were disheveled, making it easy for people to misunderstand that they had done something dirty in this wilderness.
Zheng Yunlong originally had the idea of doing something like that with a woman, but he remembered clearly that as soon as he picked up the woman from his horse, his vision suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.
"Why did I fall asleep suddenly?" Zheng Yunlong murmured to himself, took out his arm and stood up, shaking the woman awake. The woman also looked confused.
He asked the woman and found that her last memory was of being picked up by him, and then her vision went dark and her memory disappeared.
What's going on?
Zheng Yunlong was panic-stricken. He hurriedly groped for himself and took out the magic bag. After checking that there were no missing items, he gradually breathed a sigh of relief and his thoughts became clear.
I once heard of some ghost stories about a man and a woman whose souls admired each other, but could only be in love with each other, so they looked for opportunities. If they were lucky enough to encounter a pair of mortal women, they would each have their bodies in order to relieve the pain of their love.
There are also some male and female souls with curious tastes who can swap male and female bodies...
Thinking of this, Zheng Yunlong shuddered, but he also found the best explanation for why he and the woman suddenly fell asleep here.
Fortunately, the ghost couple didn't hurt my heart, otherwise I would never wake up and die in a daze.
Zheng Yunlong thought for a while, then took the woman and left on horseback.
But he was no longer interested in looking for any excitement.
…
Ye Xuan and Yue Yunzhai rode together.
He listened carefully to what Yue Yunzhai said, nodding from time to time, secretly praising this soldier who understood people's hearts well and was indeed talented.
Yue Yunzhai said: "If a person is lucky enough to accomplish something or avoid a disaster, most of them will not think deeply about how terrible the disaster is and analyze where it comes from. Instead, they will first comfort themselves, calm down, and
Automatically compensate for some irregularities.
Put the most perfect patch on it, but over time, this comfort becomes people's deception to themselves.
Zheng Yunlong will do the same, so I said that he will not delve into this matter.
Of course, if those talented people do things that go against common sense, it is not impossible to investigate further. But that has nothing to do with us.
Zheng Yunlong is obviously not a genius, a man of great talent and great strategy."
"I think the same thing as you." Ye Xuan nodded repeatedly, unable to come up with a better inference, so he could only nod in agreement.
Yue Yunzhai smiled and said: "If Zheng Yunlong is replaced as the lord, the enemy will probably not be able to find the opportunity to take advantage of it."
This is flattering Ye Xuan.
The technique was really blunt, and as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuan knew that he was flattering him, but in order to take care of this subordinate's emotions, he still showed an expression of being overwhelmed and smiled happily.
The two horses walked slowly to a fork in the road. Yue Yunzhai reined in his horse and stopped, saying: "My lord, Liu Qinghou and the others have agreed with Elder Yuan Feizhou for seven days. After seven days, they will search for and deduce the details of the River God Water Mansion in Si Mountain.
Location, start digging.”
"The River God Water Mansion is actually in Si Mountain?" Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
The mountain where the Taoist temple is located is the backbone of Qingniu Mountain.
He discovered the underground cave where Lord Yunze's head was buried in Fu Mai. The location of the River God Water Mansion deduced by Liu Qinghou and others was in Si Mountain.
According to legend, Si Mountain and Qingniu Mountain are separated by the Black Stone River. Qingniu Mountain is the ‘male’ and Si Mountain is the ‘mother’.
Male and female, yin and yang.
Yingshen, Sambhogakaya.
Fumei, originate pulse.
Ruonahe Shenshuifu's true origin is in the Si Mountain, which corresponds to the burial place of the head of Lord Yunze in the Qingniu Mountain. Yin and Yang rotate with each other, giving birth to new life, and reincarnation is endless.
All kinds of speculations made Ye Xuan's heart tremble. He was the one who held the head of Lord Yunze. He was connected to the cause and effect of the gods, and it was impossible to escape.
Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative.
So, he invited Yue Yunzhai: "I have a vague idea, maybe the location where the River God Water Mansion is buried is at the place I speculated.
If you have some free time in these two or three days, we might as well go there at night and have a look.
We must hurry up before Liu Qinghou and others take action."
Thinking of Zhang Da, who had not been seen for many days, Ye Xuan said again: "We must be fully prepared. This matter involves many secrets and may be very dangerous."
Yue Yunzhai nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "I escaped from a mysterious ancient place before. There were many restrictions there and it was a tomb.
I told my lord that someone used a secret method to open the restriction, entered it, and took away a magic decree with ease - that place, could it be the River God's Water Mansion?
However, since it is the River God's Water Mansion, shouldn't it be a gloriously built cave? How could it be a tomb..."
Yue Yunzhai was in "Lushan", but he didn't know the true face of Lushan.
After Ye Xuan heard what he said, he immediately determined that the tomb, not to mention whether it was the River God Shui Mansion, must be closely related to Lord Yunze, and the headless body of Lord Yunze was probably buried in it!
He quickly asked Yue Yunzhai, "Do you have any impression of where the cemetery is?"
Seeing his solemn expression, Yue Yunzhai thought carefully for a while and said, "Outside the tomb is the low part of Mount Si, close to the Black Stone River."
The mountain is low and close to the Black Stone River - this is not the origin of the Si Mountain!
Ye Xuan took a deep breath and said: "That may be the River God's Water Mansion. Set a time and let's go explore there at night!"
"If you go out frequently, even at night, it will arouse the vigilance of all forces." Yue Yunzhai said, "But we can't go out immediately tomorrow night. It's almost dawn now. How about I go exploring with my lord the night after tomorrow?"
"Okay." Ye Xuan nodded in agreement.
The two of them agreed on this matter and said goodbye at the fork in the road, each driving his horse to his residence.
It was almost dawn and when the rooster crowed twice, Ye Xuan returned to the Taoist temple. When he entered the door, he saw Qianyu sitting upright in the backyard. Beef skewers that Ye Xuan specially made for her were placed on the stone table next to her.
Eating on the skewers, there was a mountain of bamboo sticks piled up in the small bucket on the table.
Ye Xuan unlocked the small door in the backyard and came in. Qianyu obviously didn't expect him to come back so soon. He was stunned for a moment, with his mouth full of beef still stuffed in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Ihu is coming."
"You haven't slept all night and are here to stay?" Ye Xuan sat next to Qianyu and took a few skewers of beef to eat, chatting with Qianyu while eating.
Qianyu nodded: "I want to finish eating these before going to sleep."
In the large basin on the stone table, the soup was completely cold, and various skewers were soaked in the soup, exuding a strange fragrance.
There was originally a bowl full of skewers, with various meatballs sticking out in the middle, but now there was only a thin layer left.
Ye Xuan glanced at the meat skewers and nodded: "It seems you will do it soon."
"I won't come tomorrow night." Qianyu looked at him, picked up another skewer of beef, and suddenly said dullly.
His heart tightened and he asked: "Why?"
"Tomorrow night, someone will come from Qianyuan's ancestral court to give me an exam." Qianyu said.
Qianyuan Ancestral Court is one of the three major ancestral courts of demons. Monsters such as animals and birds all regard Qianyuan as their ancestor.
Uncle Qian had mentioned before that Qian Yu had very good qualifications and had been favored by Qian Yuan's ancestral court.
Ye Xuan originally thought that it would take some time for Qianyuan Ancestral Court to arrive, but he did not expect that they would arrive so quickly.
For Qianyu, this is a good thing.
It shows that the Qianyuan ancestral court attaches great importance to her.
But Ye Xuan was still a little disappointed and said: "If you had told me earlier, I would have prepared a magic bag of snacks for you. You can eat it if you go to Qianyuan."
"Oh." Qianyu nodded dully, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
