Chapter 20 Chapter Nine

"Jia Ruo, Jia Ruo, is that you outside?" In the Moon Palace at dawn, there was silence.This is the highest point of Vulture Mountain, and it is also the residence of the leader of the Moon Worship. No one dared to enter before the leader called. , The blurted exclamation pierced the silence. There was no answer, only two short low calls, eager and helpless. Ming He sat up in his quilt all of a sudden, his eyes widened in the dark night, and he lost all sleepiness—it was Taotie...it was Taotie! Recently, Jia Ruo often goes out overnight and does not return all night, so she has no way of knowing what is going on in his heart.Just thinking that when the army is overwhelming, Yue Yuejiao can only rely on him, so he can't be suspicious.

However, last night was the Lantern Passing Ceremony, and the disciples who had adjourned the meeting had already reported the news that the meeting was disrupted by the people from Tingxuelou.However, there was no one around him who could discuss it... As the high priest, Jia Ruo disappeared overnight for no apparent reason. The silence on Vulture Mountain was like death, but she couldn't sleep. For some reason, there is an inexplicable fear in my heart-although they jointly usurped power five years ago, seized the position of the leader and priest of the Moon Worship Sect, and jointly ruled this southern border until today.However, as the leader, she has never understood this companion.

I always feel that there is something deeply hidden in this person's heart that no one has ever seen. He has his thoughts, but never tells anyone, including her as the leader. Although he is the high priest in the religion, Jia Ruo has always been very indifferent to the affairs of the Moon Worship Sect, and almost never interferes.Now, despite her begging, he promised not to let Tingxuelou destroy the Moon Worship Sect, but she didn't know what method Jia Ruo was going to use to stop the troops who had crossed the Lancang River. "Jia Ruo, what's going on?!" Hearing the low call of the phantom beast outside the court, Ming He didn't have time to think about it, he tore up the desk, wrapped himself in a peacock gold robe, and ran outside.

A heavy curtain hung in front of her, preventing her from seeing what was going on outside the window.Minghe stretched out his hands indiscriminately to push aside those foggy curtains, feeling inexplicably flustered in his heart, and while running, the hem of his robe caught her feet from time to time. Layers of curtains were brushed aside, the outside skylight came in, and the last layer of curtains suddenly reflected the shadow of that person. Minghe breathed a sigh of relief, collected himself, slowed down his pace, and pushed back the last curtain to welcome him out: "Come here before dawn, only you dare to—"

Before the words fell, the face of the worship leader who had just calmed down suddenly changed: "Jia Ruo, what's wrong with you?!" She saw his eyes—horrible chaos, filled with the gray of death.Below the brow ring, the originally pale and cold cheeks became dull, with strange ashes surging under the skin as if they were alive. Corpse poison!And it is the poison of the most poisonous vampire among ghosts! Minghe's face was suddenly pale and bloodless. She looked at the high priest, quickly raised her hand to support his shoulder, and quickly stroked his brow jewel with one hand, her nervous voice changed: "What's going on? How did you get hit? Poisoned by your own people!—Hurry up, hurry up...it's about to get into your head! Moon God bless...you come in quickly."

"No..." The priest kept his eyes half closed, as if he was too weak to make a sound, but when the Moon Worshiper helped him in, he suddenly raised his hand and pushed her away—that hand was as black as ink. Seeing such a terrifying poison, Ming He's hands trembled a little, however, he heard Jia Ruo speak in his ear—— "First... save her first." She suddenly raised her head, followed the hand of the man who was struggling to stand, and looked out of the court - there, in the dim morning light, the phantom beast knelt and stopped on the stone steps outside the door, carrying a lost woman on its back. Conscious woman in scarlet clothes.The woman's long hair brushed the ground, and the scarlet Hidden Sword was exposed from her sleeve.

The golden crescent moon on the cheek suddenly glowed with a cold light, and the hands of the Moon Worshiper suddenly stopped trembling. "Who is she? Shu Jingrong?" Her eyes were cold, she looked up at the high priest, and asked word by word, "It's the people from Ting Xuelou, why should I save? Jia Ruo, are you going to betray—— " Before the words fell, she was suddenly speechless. Jia Ruo's hand suddenly stretched out and pressed down on her shoulder. The precarious priest seemed to put all his strength on her shoulder, and his fingers tried to crush her shoulder bone.He looked at her, but he was really powerless to say anything else, he just looked at her, his eyes were ashen, and he shook his head slowly.

"You, come in quickly, I'll detoxify you!" Seeing his face, Minghe couldn't hold back his exclaimed words, almost begging to support him, "You're going to die! Do you know? You're going to die soon!" Come in--" However, the priest in white didn't move, still standing silently and persistently at the door, pressing her shoulder.He no longer had the strength to speak, but his eyes kept looking at the woman in scarlet clothes who was in a deep coma outside the door. Minghe's hands finally trembled, and gradually his whole body trembled like leaves in the wind.

Seeing the blackness filling his face, the leader of the Moon Worship suddenly seemed to collapse, covered his face and shouted: "Okay! I'll save her! I'll save her! - please hurry up... hurry up!" Come in." With a cheer, Taotie jumped up and entered the room with the unconscious woman in scarlet clothes on her back. "Let's 'first' save her..." As if with a faint smile, Jia Ruo's hand suddenly loosened, his energy seemed to dissipate suddenly, and he fell unconsciously towards the door. "We are about to unplug Lan and close that Moon Worship Sect stronghold. Why did you order to stop the attack?" Under the verdant phoenix-tailed bamboo, the man in Tsing Yi frowned, and asked unceremoniously the listener who was sitting on the couch coughing slightly. Master Xuelou, "Is it because Zhang Zhenren and Master Mingjing were injured, are we afraid that we will not be able to support here and ask us to return?"

"Bi Luo." Gently tugging at her colleagues, the woman in red sensed the abnormal silence of the landlord today - it was not the landlord Xiao's style to suddenly order the horses to retreat when all parties were about to attack and were about to win the first battle.However, what could constrain him to make such a concession? Xiao Yiqing looked at two of the four Dharma protectors in Tingxuelou, and slowly shook her head: "Of course it's because of me." "What's the reason?" Biluo's temper was the same as that day when he was a knight-errant in the rivers and lakes. Even when facing Tingxue, he didn't hold back at all. "Although our real Zhang Zhenren and the others were seriously injured, didn't they also die with a right guardian? Our But we didn’t lose the wind at all! How much did we pay to surround and annihilate those guys!”

"I said to stand still first!" Suddenly, Tingxue put down the teacup, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes were cold and sharp.Even Bi Luo was startled, Hong Chen pulled him, leaned over and saluted: "Yes, we respectfully accept the order of the landlord!" As the wind blew through the bamboo forest, Xiao Yi became quiet, but suddenly he couldn't help coughing again, and ordered his subordinates lightly: "Bring back all the troops and surround them at the foot of Lingjiu Mountain—be careful, don't get too close." "Without my order, you must not attack the Moon Worship Sect without authorization—" Hearing what the master Xue said, I didn't know what kind of expression was on his brows. He just looked at Yuankong and added, "If... if I If there is an order, with one swipe, we will attack the Moon Palace with all our strength! At that time, if you meet people and kill people, if you meet gods, you will kill gods, and no one will be left behind on Vulture Mountain!" "Yes." Shocked by the strong murderous intent suddenly revealed in the landlord's indifferent tone, but without arguing, the two protectors of Biluo Hongchen took the order together. Xiao Yiqing lowered her head, the expression between her brows was even more unpredictable, she just said indifferently: "Go down." "Heh. What happened to the host today? How could he be so stupid?" When he stepped back, he walked side by side with Hong Chen, and when he turned the path, Bi Luo couldn't help but sneered, "In this way, regardless of worshiping the moon The forces scattered everywhere will escape from the siege we have laid so hard to escape, if they gather to counterattack and we station our troops at the foot of Vulture Mountain, wouldn't they become a ready target?" "This kind of truth, the landlord must also understand it in his heart." The colleague in red walked among the green bamboos, but replied in a deep voice, "But today's landlord is indeed a little strange... I don't understand what he thinks. The force was withdrawn to the vicinity of the Moon Palace, presumably to prevent any changes there—" As he said that, Hong Chen watched the people coming and going in front of him, and suddenly remembered something, and murmured: "Strange." "What?" Bi Luo paused on the bamboo path and turned to ask, carrying the piano and sword on her back. Hongchen looked back at the soft couch beyond the bamboo grove.Under the verdant Phoenix-tailed Bamboo, dressed in white clothes like snow, slowly closed the teacup in his hand on the soft couch.There were bamboo leaves rustling and falling, scattered on his clothes, appearing indescribably lonely. "Where's Miss Jing?" Muttering, Hong Chen murmured to himself. Bi Luo was also taken aback, and suddenly understood why she always felt that something was missing when she was facing the landlord just now. The two looked at each other, speculating in their hearts, but neither said anything. "Let's go and bring the men and horses back from Languan, and go down to Lingjiu Mountain." After a long time, Bi Luo took the lead to turn around and open the way, and then said lightly, "If anything happens to Miss Jing, I'm afraid this time it won't be the removal of the worshiping moon." It’s that simple—will the holy lake turn into a lake of blood?” Vulture Mountain.moon palace.Moon Temple. In front of the temple, on the cold blue waves, thousands of red lotuses bloomed, jumping like flames under the light of the setting sun.However, the water under the lotus is extremely cold, as cold as if it came from the underworld - because the most yin energy of heaven and earth is gathered here. This holy lake on the top of the mountain, which is less than two miles square, was set up by the Moon Worship Sect since its inception—it was the source of spiritual power for all the warlocks in the sect, even the high priest was no exception. The power of the holy lake comes from the countless undead and resentful souls deposited at the bottom of the lake. For hundreds of years, the Moon Worship Sect has used magic to kill countless people, but those souls that were killed were suppressed at the bottom of the lake where the spell was cast, unable to enter reincarnation It can't be eliminated, and can only wait for the dispatch of the Lunatic Warlock.It turns into a red lotus during the day, but turns into a dead spirit on a moonlit night. Although it is the source of power in the religion, the power of the resentful spirits in the lake also makes the Moon Worship Sect cautious, for fear that the imprisoned sinister power will lose control and escape into the world of the world, so while excavating the holy lake, open the mountain. The leader also built this Moon God Temple, and used the Tianxin Moon Wheel to suppress resentment. "Jiaruo, are you awake?" In the shrine, the fragrance of Cymbidium spinosa lingering in the temple, under the dim lamp, the woman in a floor-length robe cried out tiredly and pleasantly, looking at the man who opened his eyes on the altar table under the altar. The black air faded quickly, and his face returned to his usual paleness, but the expression in his eyes was still a bit chaotic.Hearing the voice of the leader, Jia Ruo raised his hand and pressed it against the edge of the table, as if he wanted to stand up but was still unable to do so. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that he still couldn't speak clearly——The poison from the ghost, It's really good. "What did you say?" Ming He came over to support him, stood up slowly, and asked. "What about her?" After adjusting his breath, he spoke again and finally uttered two words. However, the eyes of the Lord of Worshiping the Moon, which had a trace of surprise, suddenly condensed, bit his lips stubbornly, did not answer, and his eyes became cold and severe. "Where's Ming'er? Is she alright?" Seeing that Ming He didn't answer, Jia Ruo also changed color suddenly, and asked anxiously. The Master of Worshiping the Moon was silent, then suddenly raised his head, sneered slightly, his eyes were gloomy and indifferent: "Dead! She's dead! I won't have time to save you at that time—why waste time saving her?" The white-clothed priest who had just stabilized his body suddenly turned his head, and his eyes fell on her like lightning. "Say it again—what's wrong with Ming'er?" Jia Ruo's tone was extremely calm, as calm as a frozen snow sculpture, staring into Ming He's eyes, and asked word by word. "She's dead! I left her alone, so she's dead!" Looking stubbornly at the high priest's dark blue pupils, the Moon Worshiper replied coldly, the crescent moon on his cheek gleamed dimly, "What's the matter—are you going to kill me for this?" She raised her head proudly, but there were tears in her eyes. Jia Ruo just looked at her coldly, then suddenly turned his head away, and walked away on his own: "You women are really incomprehensible." The Lord of Worshiping the Moon was stunned, watching the high priest walk down the marble steps from the temple to the holy lake, she chased after him, and walked side by side in the corridor with him, but there was joy in her eyes The light: "You...you are not angry? I killed her, and you don't blame me?" "What kind of tricks are you playing..." However, Jia Ruo's eyes had an indifferent light as he walked all the way, and he replied calmly without turning his head, "You have obviously rescued Ming'er." The master of worshiping the moon was startled, stopped in his tracks, looked up at him, and was extremely surprised: "You... how do you know?" "Of course I know." Jia Ruo smiled and continued to walk forward, her voice was still a little weak due to the poisonous erosion, "Ming'er is dead or not, I have a feeling in my heart, you can't lie to me—not to mention what you promised me, why not?" Sorry." Ming He stayed in the corridor, watching the priest in white go all the way, the wind blowing from a distant mountain made the flower bells under the corridor ringing in disorder, Jia Ruo walked through the corridor, black hair and long clothes were blowing in the wind together. Zhong Yangqi: "It's really inexplicable, you——she should wait for the moon to rise by the holy lake now, so that the poison can be completely forced out of her body?" Ming He stood there dumbfounded, and after a long while, he came back to his senses, picked up his clothes and chased after him again, and asked hesitantly: "I heard that Xuelou is going to destroy us, she is Xiao Yiqing's general, will she die?" Right?" "What do you know." Jia Ruo walked, looking at the red lotus blooming in the holy lake, her eyes were indifferent, "It's good that Ming'er is alive - with her in the Moon Palace, Xiao Yiqing won't dare to take half a step towards Vulture Mountain! "Pause, as if sighing, the white-robed priest shook his head: "It's rare for a person like him to endure so much for Ming'er." The master of worshiping the moon was shocked, as if he suddenly understood what was happening, he nodded and looked at Jia Ruo, but this time there was also a trace of joy in his eyes: "Ah... so that girl Jing is so important to Tingxuelou... I don't know .” "What are you laughing at?" Jia Ruo looked at her inexplicably and asked. Ming He's expression suddenly brightened, he pursed his lips into a smile, and shook his head: "Why don't you laugh~~~" The new moon rose slowly, revealing a ray of bright light from the forest tops. On the phoenix-tailed bamboo raft by the holy lake, the woman in scarlet clothes was sleeping quietly under the moonlight. The priest in white covered the wound on Ah Jing's shoulder.The dead gray there is still shocking, faintly tumbling under the skin, but it is tightly tied by the silver needles, unable to spread a step.There was bright red blood spilling on the body of the woman in scarlet clothes—it was Ming He who pricked his finger and dripped his own blood all over her body. The dead gray between Ah Jing's eyebrows has been temporarily controlled, but the corpse poison in the body still cannot be removed until tonight's operation. "Let's get started." Finally a little impatient, he put down the hand supporting the woman in scarlet robes, allowing Ah Jing to continue to sleep quietly. The priest in white raised his head and spoke to Minghe who was on the high platform concentrating on observing the moon crown. "Wait a minute." On the altar of the temple, the gorgeous robes of the Moon Worshiper were shining brightly under the moonlight, but the stunning woman looked solemnly at the thin shadows cast by the silver needles on the stone surface, staring at the shadows that the naked eyes could almost see. The invisible move, counting the time carefully, "The position of the lunar star has not yet reached the Tiangong, so it is not possible at this time." Jia Ruo didn't refute - although his spiritual power is amazing, but in the matter of curing poison, there is no way to compare with Ming He. Minghe's hand was always on the altar, frozen like water. There, at the highest point of the temple, is enshrined the Tianxin moon wheel, one of the three treasures of the Moon Worship Sect—cut out of the legendary West Kunlun jade, embedded with eight treasure tassels, and written on it with gold powder. spell. It was a spell written by the founder of the Moon Worship Sect, and it was used to suppress those terrifying wraiths in the holy lake. And this celestial heart and moon wheel is also the only control gate of the holy lake - once it is turned, the gate at the bottom of the lake will be opened, and the lake water that has the effect of imprisoning the undead will leak into the ground, and those undead will lose control and escape in all directions. ——Such a result is unimaginable even by the Moon Worshipers.So for hundreds of years, never. "You are the strongest sorcerer, so the poison from the vampire can be cured by you. But she is an ordinary person—" Looking at the sleeping woman in scarlet clothes, the Moon Worshiper's eyes were cold, "not to mention It seems that her poison is deeper than yours, if you hadn't diverted half of the poison into your body, how could she have survived until now?" After a pause, Ming He's eyes became colder and sharper: "Jia Ruo, where is Qinghui Guardian? What happened to him and his vampire Jiang?" The priest in white was startled and was speechless for a while. "Is it—killed by the people from Tingxue Tower?" The leader of worshiping the moon frowned and gritted his teeth, "The Lantern Passing Conference was disrupted, and the disciples who came back told me that Xiao Yiqing and Shu Jingrong teamed up to break in and intercepted it." Qinghui." "Qinghui was already dead when I went." However, Jia Ruo didn't care about the news of his fellow disciple's death, and said calmly, "His ghost descended and ate him. , let’s work together with Master Tingxue to get rid of it.” "You and Master Tingxue worked together to get rid of it?" Ming He was stunned for a moment, with an inexplicable smile on his lips, and was about to say something when he suddenly looked at Yue Mian, his eyes fixed—— "The time has come, let go!" Jia Ruo's eyes also narrowed, and before his voice fell, he raised his right hand like lightning, connected his wrists, and shot like lightning.He pulled out the silver needle on Ah Jing's shoulder without any mistakes, and at the same time, pushed forward decisively with his left hand. With a soft sound, the bamboo raft moved along the slideway of the white stone on the shore of the lake, entered the water lightly, and floated towards the thousands of red lotuses. At the same time, on the high platform, the hand of the Moon Worshiping Sect Master turned the Tianxin Moon Wheel with great care.Although it was only a very small movement, Ming He's eyes were extremely solemn, as if life and death were on the line. The moon rose to the position of the Heavenly Palace, and at that moment, the moonlight projected on the holy lake, emitting a cold silver light—at this moment, the thousands of red lotuses in the lake suddenly seemed to burn, turning into thousands of wisps of light smoke under the moon, Dense full around the lake. It was the wraith rising under the moon, imprisoned by the lake water. However, the tens of thousands of resentful spirits who were about to return to that piece of clear water, with the slight rotation of the Tianxin moon wheel, seemed to keenly sense the tendency of the lake water to leak, and instantly boiled and struggled to jump into the air! Minghe threw all his strength into the moon wheel, and with both hands, he pulled the slightly rotating moon wheel back to its original position bit by bit. ——It was just such a small movement, but it seemed that she exhausted all her strength. However, those resentful spirits were startled as they wished, and they went back and forth on the lake for a moment, and suddenly found the woman in scarlet sleeping on the bamboo raft.Suddenly there was an inaudible scream in the air, it was the surprise of the dead spirits seeing the living soul, and like a whistling, those spirits quickly gathered near the bamboo raft. Jia Ruo put his hands in his sleeves.Even though he was standing on the shore, he could still feel the terrifying power surging on the lake! Looking at the bamboo rafts surrounded by undead and obliterating Ming'er, the priest in white couldn't help but tremble with nervousness. "Don't worry, they can't hurt her—my blood is their taboo." Apparently seeing the tension in Jia Ruo's heart, Ming He, who turned the moon wheel, leaned on the moon crown, panting slightly, "Moon Worship Master She is the pure-blooded son of the Moon God——I have drawn an acupoint curse, and the spirits of the holy lake cannot harm her." Sure enough, although those ferocious wraiths rushed to Ah Jing's side, they couldn't get closer. Along the whole body of the woman in scarlet clothes, a symbol was drawn with blood. However, as soon as the silver needle was pulled out, the dead gray on Ah Jing's shoulders spread unscrupulously, growing crazily. Those resentful spirits suddenly became excited again, screaming in a low voice, obviously aware of the arrival of the delicious food—the gathering roared and whizzed past, and in an instant, the wisp of living ashes was swallowed dry clean! "This is how the poison is removed..." The Moon Worshiper looked wearily at the turbulent lake, obviously shocked by such a powerful sinister force, and sighed, "Your Ming'er's life is completely saved." "Thank you, Minghe." The priest's voice could not conceal the tiredness. The holy lake under the moon is glowing with mysterious silver light.In the side room of the temple by the lake, the torches inserted into the wall were blazing, reflecting a head of long silver-white hair.In the middle of the room, there is a large bronze tripod, the level of which is like a mirror. From the moon to the middle of the sky.The moonlight passed through a series of small holes on the roof, and suddenly it drifted and fell on the water mirror! The white-haired woman in a snow robe leaned over to look at the water mirror, her expression suddenly changed. "Bingling, what did you see?" The Moon Worshiper has been standing aside silently, watching the astrologer praying, but now he can't help but blurt out the question, his face a little nervous, "Moon God gave What kind of foreshadowing?" The woman named Bingling slowly stood up and turned her head.Between the flickering of the torch, her face was reflected—a light blue was faintly visible under her pale skin, and her long hair hung down to her waist like a waterfall of snow—maybe, it was a person who lived in the temple all year round and did not leave her home. The result of not seeing the sun? Shi Bingling, a female astrologist in Moon Worship Sect. It was a woman who had dedicated her body and mind to the Moon God since she was a child.From sunrise to sunset, from moonrise to moonset, he always serves the moon god, stays at home, and studies astronomical phenomena behind closed doors by the holy lake alone. He has amazing prophecy ability.Normally, even the leader would not be able to disturb her easily—but this time, the soldiers of the Xuelou were under pressure, and the horses were stationed at the foot of the Vulture Mountain. The future of the Moon Worship Sect was unpredictable.Even Ming He, who has always been calm, couldn't help asking to use her power to see the fate of the Moon Worship Sect in advance. The white-haired female astrologer in snow clothes holds a golden stick in her right hand, and points to the water mirror with her left hand. Her fingertips are pierced, and drops of blood fall into the water, creating strange changes. As if possessed by something, the astrologer looked at the floating and changing blood in the water mirror, his face gradually became ethereal, and he spoke slowly.However, what floated out was a chant-like singing, and her voice was quite different from her usual one: "The stars in the sky correspond to the world one by one. Looking at the past and the future through the water mirror, I can understand it clearly." There was an expression of admiration on his face, knowing that the astrologer had already started to predict, the Lord of the Moon Worship silently raised his hand to increase his quota, stepped aside, and quietly listened to the ethereal chant that seemed like an echo from the sky—— "The white bones in the lake, the guidance of the blood have never been annihilated. The wrath of the dragon, the flames spread across the world, after twenty years of forbearance, the blood and fire will cover the bright moon... When the time comes, the three clans will gather. Those who cross their tracks will surely perish!" When the Moon Worshiper heard the word "Fallen", his face turned pale uncontrollably. He interrupted the long song and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is going to fall? Underworld? Who is it?—" "Bingling, who answered the question of the Lord of Worshiping the Moon, let me tell you the real meaning." Bingling stood with her eyes down, her voice was still like a dream, there was no wind in the temple, but her silver-white long hair was still without wind, and her fingers Lightly touch the water mirror and sing softly, "That rose holds the spindle of fate, and its fate is endless. The stars that fell in the sinking sand valley will never return. The flame of the red lotus that was cultivated is burnt out. All the evil in the Three Realms cannot destroy the souls in the lake." "Qiangwei... Qiangwei." Minghe's hands gradually trembled, and he clenched the hem of his robe, "Xuewei?" The leader of Moon Worship suddenly raised his head, and his eyes fell on the astrologer like lightning: "You said, will the woman who listened to Xuelou let Jia Ruo die? Isn't it? That's fate? That's fate? Bingling , can you make it clear—” The illusory language is floating in the air like the wind, Bingling's long hair is flying, and the golden stick in his right hand is pointing at the bright moon in the sky: "This is all I know... I hold the 'moon sign' and 'star' in my palm, Tell me what I saw. However, the unknowable still exists—even if you grasp the orbits of the stars in your palm, you can’t predict all the fate. Will the moonlight still shine on this land? Will blood and fire be obliterated? Mingyue?" After a pause, there was a long silence, as if Bingling himself was overwhelmed by his own two questions.For a long time, blood dripped continuously from the pale and slender hand hanging on the water mirror, and scattered into the water mirror. The water mirror has become blood red and dazzling. "—Perhaps, the tracks can be staggered." In the end, the words Bingling spit out were just like this, his hand seemed to be suddenly weak, and he pressed heavily into the tripod, causing high water splashes. The Lord of Worshiping the Moon raised his hand again, knelt down to the statue of the Moon God, and retreated, but his face was as pale as death. "Jia Ruo." The candle tree was like a fire, and the room made of white stones was full of dreams. Brocade embroidered shoes stepped in, walked through the heavy curtains, and walked to the inner room, and hurriedly said, "Bingling warned me today: the sky shows , Pluto against the moon - this woman is ominous." The peacock gold robe is woven with intricate patterns of manjusawa, reflecting the candlelight, emitting a faint and dark color. The Lord of Worshiping the Moon walked into the inner room, frowned slightly: "It's been two days, and she still hasn't woken up?" "Hush." ​​The priest in white raised his finger to stop the words of the leader. He stood up, turned and walked out of the inner room.After turning around the screen, Jia Ruocai lowered his eyebrows and sneered slightly: "Qingming is ominous—my master told me ten years ago. Why wait until Bingling comes to prophesy today." "But she said, this woman will kill you!" Minghe's voice was cold and eager, "Bingling is a female history of astrology, she can see the past and the future - her predictions have never been inaccurate!" "But she can't see my fate." However, the high priest stopped the leader's words without hesitation, and looked coldly at the southern sky outside the window with his hands behind his back, "——what she saw was Ming'er's fate. You You should also know that after the death of the previous leader Hua Lian, no one has the power to see my fate." The Master of Worshiping the Moon raised his head, with a sigh of relief in his eyes: "Then... you won't die, will you?" "Oh." Jia Ruo just lowered his head and smiled, shaking his head, "Is life and death so important? It's just a drunken awakening—but remember, I promised you that I will stick to the Moon Worship Sect. rest assured." "But you didn't promise me that you wouldn't die." Ming He gritted his teeth, but tears gradually came to his eyes, "If you die, everything will be empty! You promise me!" The priest in white lowered his head and looked at her with an unpredictable wry smile on his lips. She saved her own life - ten years ago, in that rock village, if the girl who was with Hualian leader at that time hadn't saved the white-clothed boy named Qing Lan, I'm afraid he would have been wiped out by now.Later, for him, she even went so far as to resist and betray her own mother... All these years, under the skies of southern Xinjiang, the two of them depended on each other for life, right? The so-called "Jia Ruo", if she hadn't called him, then he would no longer be Jia Ruo...he would be nothing. "I really hope I can promise you." Suddenly, Jia Ruo turned his head and smiled, and whispered something like a sigh. On a noisy street, a girl in a blue shirt walked into a pharmacy, slapped the silver on the counter, and raised her voice, "Dude, buddy, do you have snow lotus? Two, with stems and leaves. I also need cinnabar and ice flakes." One catty, hurry up!" The worker behind the counter quickly came over to greet the guests, looked at the silver and smiled, but felt a little embarrassed: "Girl, cinnabar ice flakes are easy to talk about, but the small shop doesn't have snow lotus with complete stems and leaves..." "Ah, no?" The bright eyes of the blue-shirted girl were a little dim, and she stomped her feet and sighed, "I've already asked several companies." The clerk hurried to the medicine cabinet, moved a stool and climbed up to open the drawer to get ice flakes. Hearing the sigh of the guest behind him, he also shook his head: "Girl, things like snow lotus are rare here in Dali, let alone stems and leaves." It's all there—what kind of medicine do you want to mix with such precious medicinal materials?" "Hey, you don't know, the Nine-Turn Liuzhu Pill must be made of snow lotus!" The blue-shirted girl blurted out, and paused again, "I couldn't buy it anywhere——Master's injury can't be delayed..." "Miss, go to the Tongrentang in front? That pharmacy is opened by the younger brother of Zhennan Wang's side concubine. It is a big pharmacy. It is said that as long as the starting price is paid, you can even buy fresh Zihe carts." The buddy Bao Finished the cinnabar ice flakes, looked at the stamp, weighed them and handed them to the blue-shirted girl, "It's a total of thirty-two-eight coins." "Ah, the pharmacy also sells purple river carts?" The blue-shirted girl was obviously taken aback, and she murmured to herself while paying, "It's so evil...the government doesn't care about it." "I don't care, it's the brother-in-law of the King of Zhennan." The clerk collected the money, handed the medicine to the customer, and lowered his voice to spread the word, "And it is said that the side concubine is so favored because she won the prince's heart with sorcery. ——I heard that the side concubine joined the Moon Worship Sect! The high priest of the Moon Worship Sect is a god, who in this generation in southern Yunnan dares to be disrespectful?" Moon worship.Hearing those words, the blue-shirted girl's face changed slightly. However, she never expected that when her expression changed, the expression of a man in Tsing Yi who followed her secretly outside the door also changed after hearing what she said just now.He just came out to do some business nearby, when he met this woman in blue, he took his heart. "Jiuzhuan Liuzhudan?" The young man with sword-browed and star-eyed eyes pondered, looking at the blue-clothed girl whom he had noticed as soon as he went to the street, and whispered slowly: "Master Zhang of Longhushan?——Is it really Tingxue?" building?" The blue-shirted girl is indeed Zhang Zhenren's eldest disciple, Ruoshui, because her master was injured by Priest Jiaruo in a fight a few days ago, and her younger sister Yehuo was also seriously injured. . She took the wrapped cinnabar borneol, thought for a while, and ordered some high-quality Codonopsis pilosula and angelica. Feeling unconvinced, she took a chance and asked the buddy if there was any more formed Polygonum multiflorum--she got no answer. It is indeed a small pharmacy, and it seems that only Tong Ren Tang has these things.she thought with a sigh.But... that place has entanglements with the Moon Worship Sect, so it's a bit reckless to go there without telling the master and the landlord? Sighing, Ruoshui picked up the medicine he had grasped and turned around and walked out, thinking anxiously.However, as soon as he stepped out of the store, he suddenly heard the noise coming from the front, along with the running of the crowd and the empty sound of bamboo clappers: "It's gone, it's gone!" "Ah!" Ruoshui blurted out involuntarily, looking at the place where the black smoke was coming out of the street corner in front—is it, is Tongrentang on fire?This is not good... If there is a real fire, where can Xuelian go? In a hurry, she no longer cared about worshiping Yuejiao or not, and ran to the corner of the street, against the flow of fleeing people. "Where, where is the fire?" The people in front gradually became thinner, Ruoshui got a foothold in front of a teahouse, and found that something was wrong, the fire seemed to spread from a distance - she grabbed the one next to her and ran out of the teahouse in a hurry people asked. "Zhennan...Zhennan Prince's Mansion!...A big fire is spreading towards this street!" The man hurriedly ran away, impatiently trying to push the wordy woman away, but he was surprised to find that This slender woman seemed to have unexpectedly strong wrist strength, no matter how hard he pushed, she just remained motionless. "This fire is not right." Following the direction of the black smoke, Ruoshui saw the faint fire spreading in the distance, and his face suddenly became strange-there was invisible black air covering the fire.This is no ordinary fire. There was no wind, but the fire spread quickly, burning all the way along the street, and the smoke made people speechless.The streets were full of people who had escaped, and their families were in a mess, crying and screaming. "Girl! Cough cough, girl! Please let go, okay?" Staring blankly at the fire for a long time, Ruoshui heard the begging of the tea customer, already coughing repeatedly, she let go of her hand and laughed along with her.However, before she could apologize, the tea drinker fled away as soon as he was free. "Hey, this fire is obviously evil—if Yehuo is here, we can tell what kind of trouble it is." Sighing, he couldn't see the people living in the street, and saw that the fire was about to spread to the Tongrentang in front, Ruoshui turned around and left He ran into an empty teahouse, took a cup and brewed a cup of Pu'er tea. Holding the teacup, he silently recited the mantra several times, dipped his finger into the tea, and flicked it repeatedly against the sky full of fireworks.There was a soft rustle, and suddenly a rain fell in midair for no reason. "Oh!" The people running all over the street stopped and looked up at the clear sky, inexplicably surprised.Looking at the faces of those people, Ruo Shui couldn't help being happy, looked out the window, drank the tea in a cup, and prepared to spit it out in his mouth to make more rain. "What a brilliant Yuqing Huayu technique." Suddenly, I heard someone talking behind me.Ruoshui was so frightened that the tea choked his throat and couldn't help coughing violently. When she coughed, she turned around and looked warily at the person behind her who spoke. It was a young man with tied hair in green clothes, with clear eyes, drinking tea leisurely in the middle of the teahouse, without raising his head, he said slowly: "Miss is a disciple of Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain?" 弱水有些震惊的看着这个人——方才进来的时候，她分明看过了、这个茶馆里空空荡荡的没有一个人！后来她一直在门边凭窗施展法术，根本不可能有人再进来。 ——唯一的可能就是：这个人从一开始就坐在那里，然而她看不见。 蓝衫少女忽然出了一身冷汗。 “阁下是何方仙友？”脱口的询问过后，弱水发觉自己大约又犯了一个错误——有邪气——虽然只是丝丝缕缕——不自禁的从这个青衣男子的眉目间流露出来。 然而，青衣男子没有回答她的话，却只是看着窗外下雨的晴空，微微冷笑：“姑娘的玉清化雨术虽然不错，可惜却用错了地方——” 弱水一惊回首，看向窗外，只见街上行人匆匆，慌乱恐惧反而更加猛烈起来。奇怪的是，不过是一窗之隔，虽然外面如此忙乱，然而喧嚣之声却一丝一毫都没有传到茶馆里！ 弱水心里再度紧张——眼前这个人，居然已经在她不知不觉之中，在这个茶馆四周布下了结界，隔绝开了外界和这个空间的任何联系。 她扑到窗边，冒着浓烟探头急急看出去，不由自主惊呼了一声——雨还在下着，但是那些雨落到了火上，火势不但没有变小，反而如同有油泼入、轰然大盛！ “对付幽冥真火，玉清化雨根本不管用。”背后的青衣男子扬眉，有些傲气的微笑了一下，“小姑娘，你道基虽然不错，可道行还浅着呢。” “那么你快把这火弄灭啊！烧了那么多房子，都快要烧到同仁堂了！”看着对方气定神闲的样子，弱水气不过，大嚷，“你是学道的，怎么可以见死不救！” “火是我放的，我为什么要救？”陡然间，放下茶盏，青衣人淡淡冷笑。 “你——你是谁？！”再也忍不住，弱水瞬的转身死死盯着他问，手指用力抓住了窗框，因为紧张，手心都冒出了微微的冷汗。这个人，好奇怪的灵力，亦正亦邪，让人无从判断。 “你不是要找雪莲么？我这里有——”青衣人只是莫测的笑，从怀里拿出一个碧玉的匣子，打开，露出里面晶莹剔透的雪莲花来，“我正要去见萧忆情，我们正好可以一起去。” “你、你究竟是谁？”不料对方竟然连自己在找雪莲的事情都了如指掌，弱水更加的惊惧。忽然间，手指合并、迅速往前一划，想要破除他设下的无形的“界”，逃出茶馆外。 然而，蓝衣少女的手还未触及无形的屏障，凭空里仿佛有看不见的大力涌来，推得她身子一直往后跌去。弱水脱口“呀”了一声，勉力想定住脚，然而连连飞退中，突然间身子却止住了去势。 “我叫孤光。”抬手揽住被震退的少女，青衣人淡淡说着，眉间邪气一闪而逝。 弱水的眼睛陡然一闪，再度脱口惊呼：“孤光！孤光清辉，你是拜月教的——” “拜月教的左护法。”青衣人接了下去，微微而笑。
