The moonlight was very beautiful tonight. The bright moon was in the sky, as bright as day. The cool night breeze blew away the last trace of sleepiness from Tong Yan.
After dinner, she went back to her room to pack her things without waiting for anyone, and slept again. When she woke up and took a drink of water, she suddenly noticed that the window was extremely bright, and she walked out of the room on a whim.
I walked aimlessly all the way, then my heart moved, and I followed the road to the crescent moon gate.
The wall was silent as usual, but she could clearly feel a familiar scent inside.
Ji Xing came back and was inside the door.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door tentatively, "Little master, I have something to ask you. Can you come out for a moment?"
I remember Ji Xing said before that you can come and go at will in other places, but not here, so she is just letting people out at this moment.
The person inside didn't answer. Tong Yan waited for a while, thinking he hadn't heard. When he was about to speak again, a very soft voice suddenly came from the door.
"You come in."
Tong Yan paused at the door, repeatedly making sure that he heard correctly, and then carefully pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as I entered the door, a large sea of red flowers came into view. All the flowers floating in the air on the branches were bright red. The petals the size of copper coins swirled with the breeze, fell gently to the ground, and finally blended into the red sea under my feet.
Under the dim moonlight, the scenery in the yard is as beautiful as a dream and unreal.
Stepping on the thick petal carpet and walking towards the center of the yard, he sat on the ground in plain clothes, his head slightly lowered, his eyes half-closed, his eyes fixed on something motionless, and behind him was a black mantle that was almost up to his waist.
The night wind swept through my hair, causing my hair to float.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, he didn't raise his head and said quietly.
"sit."
Tong Yan glanced at the Qixing flower petals on the ground under his feet and sat down.
After sitting down, she was a head shorter than Ji Xing. She raised her gaze slightly, just in time to look at the face that was as perfect as the moon god.
Ordinary moonlight also loved him very much. The falling beams of light were comparable to beauty lights, and the colors reflected were even more spotless, without any defects.
Tong Yan, who was dazed for a while, remembered what he was here for, and said, "A Zhan's matter has been resolved now. I plan to leave for Penglai tomorrow."
Hearing her say that she was leaving, Ji Xing, who seemed to be in trance, had some reaction, moved his neck slightly, and turned his head to look.
He looked away after just one glance? He looked at somewhere three feet away and remained silent.
After a long time? He suddenly said: "Do you know what a furnace tripod is?"
The voice is deep? It sounds distant, as if it comes from the depths of memory.
Tong Yan's brows moved. He didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question. Then he was thinking about what a furnace cauldron is.
This question is actually not difficult to answer. Is the furnace tripod a tool used by other monks to improve their cultivation? The furnace tripod has gentle and pure water spiritual roots.
But Luding... is also a monk and an ordinary person.
What Ji Xing wants is not her answer? But a listener.
He raised his hand and pointed to a location a few steps away, where it was covered with star flowers. It was no different from anywhere else, but he could find it accurately in one go. It was as if he had done this thousands of times before.
There was darkness under the crow-feathered eyelashes, and the quiet moonlight covering her body suddenly seemed a bit more desolate.
"My mother breathed her last there. I was only ten years old at the time."
His speech was slow and low, like a narrator turning over a heavy yellowed history book and whispering.
At this time, the night seemed to suddenly become thicker than winter, and Tong Yan felt in a trance that he had touched the extremely depressed emotions in his heart, the endless pain and hatred that had nowhere to vent.
My heart felt uncomfortable for no reason? Do you feel the same? Or maybe his words were too contagious.
"The moonlight that night was just like today."
It clearly showed the blood all over his mother's body? It was so clear that he could still remember the thick smell of blood.
"A lot of people surrounded us at that time." We were only a dozen steps away from the courtyard gate, but we couldn't get there.
Under the silver light, the pink Qixinghua in the courtyard sways in the wind, as charming as a shy girl. The elegant fragrance in the wind is intoxicating. It must be a beautiful thing to sleep under the flowers when you are tired.
However, no one has the intention to appreciate such beautiful scenery. The garden that was originally the favorite of the hostess has been occupied by a group of uninvited guests. The small courtyard is filled with a tense atmosphere, accompanied by a strong murderous aura.
"Yi Shaoyang! You broke up with the elders of the clan over a woman and started a war. Do you still remember your identity and responsibilities as the young master of the Yi family! How can you be worthy of our cultivation and expectations for you over the years!!"
"You really want to go your own way and go against the teachings of your ancestors to protect an outsider!"
The man in the middle, standing in front of his wife and young son, had a calm face, unmoved by the accusations, until a word from an outsider made his face turn as cold as frost.
"Outsiders? One is my wife and the other is my youngest son. Why are there outsiders?"
"You are my elder and my child's great-uncle, but have you ever realized for a moment that the person you want to kill now is my wife and children, your blood descendants!"
"You!" Being choked by a junior in front of everyone, the speaker was very angry and immediately cursed indiscriminately.
"She is just a cauldron. What qualifications does she have to breed the blood of my Yi family? She is a dirty tool. Her existence will only tarnish the reputation of the family. I advise you to kill her immediately to apologize to your ancestors. Otherwise, do you think the Yi family can still survive?"
Is there a place for you?"
His cold eyes were locked on the child behind him, his murderous intent undisguised, "He will not be able to let this evil obstacle stay!"
Not only did he insult the people he cared about, but he also threatened him to kill them. Even if the person standing in front of him at this moment was his uncle, Yi Shaoyang would never tolerate it!
"Shut up! I respect you as an elder so I can call you uncle. If you insult my wife and children again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
He held an ancient bronze lamp in one hand. Feeling the owner's anger, the beating orange flame suddenly swelled twice in size, fluttering fearlessly in the night wind.
"Blazing green lantern!" When the surrounding Yi family saw this object, they were all shocked.
The Blazing Green Lantern is the only ancient treasure-level magic weapon of the Yi family. It has a miraculous effect on the soul attack, causing great damage and the process is very painful, even worse than soul extraction and skinning.
Once this thing comes out, it will either kill or injure you. Do not touch it without facing enemies of life and death.
Today, Yi Shaoyang raised it to deal with relatives like them who live together day and night!
How could this not frighten them?
"Yi Shaoyang, how dare you!" An angry scolding sounded first, "Do you still know who the people in front of you are!"
Of the dozen or so people present, half were the elders of the Yi family who had watched him grow up, and the other half were brothers of the same clan who had grown up with him.
Yi Shaoyang glanced at everyone present, and the sarcastic laughter came out a little bit from his throat, and then got louder and louder, weird and abrupt in the dark night.
How could he not know, how could he not know, but it was these so-called elders and compatriots who forced him again and again!
The sudden laughter made the elder Yi's face look extremely ugly, and he glared at the person who was laughing.
"why are you laughing!"
Yi Shaoyang stopped laughing, looked cold and determined, and spoke slowly, "Since the Yi family has no place for the three of us, then we leave the position of the young master of the Yi family. Shaoyang has a responsibility to all the elders.
If you are no longer able to fulfill the duties entrusted to you, please find someone else, Elder Yi."
What he meant was to relinquish his position as young master and break away from the Yi family to establish his own business.
"Young Master!" Realizing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, several young men yelled glumly, "Don't act on your own initiative."
Yi Shaoyang looked at the people who were talking steadily, took out the young master's jade token and threw it to the other side, "I have made up my mind, elders, can you let us ordinary people leave now? After leaving this door, Yi Shaoyang and I
Home...is where there is no connection."
The people present looked at each other in confusion, some were in favor and some were against. Fortunately, they did not stop him from walking towards the courtyard gate with his wife and children.
But a few dozen steps away, the front is heaven, and the next dozen steps is hell.
A majestic scolding suddenly sounded in the night sky.
"The traitor!"
Following the voice was an energy full of anger.
Yi Shaoyang immediately stood in front of his wife and children, resisting all attacks, and let out a muffled groan in his throat. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and dripped on his clothes.
"Ah Yang!"
"Daddy!"
Behind him were the worried calls of his wife and children. Yi Shaoyang turned around and smiled at them, comforting them with his eyes, don't be afraid.
He turned around, looked at the position in front of him, and let out a low cry.
