It was evening, and the afterglow of summer filled Longsuo Mountain.Although it is near the end of summer, the ginkgo trees on the mountain are still full of greenery.Yan Xubai looked at the sunset and looked at the tall trees in the courtyard of the Immortal Pavilion, covered with golden light, it was really beautiful.

"Ah Yu, all the sects that visited today have left. Tomorrow there will still be people from the Central South Region, the three main sects and the eighteen subordinate sects, and we will arrange a meeting at the Yixian Pavilion today."

Yan Xubai stood in the courtyard for a while, when he heard a woman's voice coming from behind him.Turning around, he saw the woman's elegant posture, her eyes full of kindness, he couldn't help turning his mouth up slightly, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Auntie, I've never been good at dealing with people in aristocratic families. Can I ask my aunt to meet you tomorrow on my behalf?" them."

Half a month ago, after rescuing the group of young monks who had been robbed and fled from the city of Qieyue, the incident provoked by Pei Yansi's selfishness finally came to an end.In order to express their gratitude, the principals of various sects went to Longsuo Mountain one after another to pay their respects.At that time Yan Xubai was seriously injured and pushed a lot, but now that he has been raised for more than half a month, even though he has not recovered, he is still able to see people.Yan Xubai was urged by Duan Ying to see him, and she only said, "You can't keep refusing to communicate with each other between clans."

Duanying also had a gentle smile on her face, and said: "Since you feel tired, I will meet with you tomorrow, but it is absolutely impossible to go instead of you."

"Thank you, aunt." Yan Xubai replied with a smile.

Duanying saw that although there was no excessive expression on his face, he was very excited about these four short words, and said: "I feel that since you came back from Keyue City, your temper has not been so cold, and now you can act like a baby."

Yan Xubai's face became hot for a while, he straightened up immediately, and asked in a low voice: "Am... aunt making fun of me?"

"Of course I didn't laugh at you. If Elder Fu can make you smile all the time, I also hope that he will stay in Yanmen for a few more years and not return to the dojo so soon." Duanying said.

Hearing that she mentioned Fu Guilan, naturally she thought more.

"Sir, he didn't tell me about going back to the dojo." Yan Xubai looked at the Moon Gate Cave leading to the Xiantan Building, where there must be a lot of mosquitoes.

Duan Ying said: "The foundation of the Yan family is certainly important, but how do you feel about Elder Fu? Have you ever told him? Are you just letting him stay in the Yan family until the end of his life?"

These words lingered in Yan Xubai's mind, his heart wrinkled, and he saw the shadow of the tree shaking behind the door, and said: "I'll leave him to teach in Yanmen."

Hearing this, Duanying smiled, and said: "Among the monks in the world, there are also many monks of the same sex who form Taoist couples. But although this trip will cause people to discuss, it is not impossible..."

"Auntie..." Yan Xubai opened his mouth, turned around, instead of looking at the shadow of the trees, he approached Duanying again, and said in a lonely tone: "The Yan family is not an ordinary clan, if I act like that, I am the Yan family Shame, I... of course I wouldn't do that."

The cicadas were buzzing in the courtyard, the sun had already set, and the heat was about to recede, but they still had no intention of stopping.

"In such a situation, Yueyue City has fallen, and the Fairy Peach Banquet is in decline. It is the time when Longsuo Yanmen needs painstaking efforts. If I, as the suzerain of Yanmen, bring stains to Yanmen at this time, it will be... a crime. "Yan Xubai said, his eyes gradually drooping.

Although Duanying wanted to persuade him not to think so hard, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that she herself could not bear Yan Xubai, and she lacked consideration.

There was silence for a while, only the cicadas in the courtyard kept singing.The coolness around is also gradually driving away the heat, making people feel more comfortable than during the day.

Seeing that Yan Xubai neither planned to leave nor speak, he seemed to be in deep thought.Duanying called him softly, and said: "Go back earlier, Minghuai should have something to tell you." Yan Xubai nodded, the expression on his face softened, and Duanying said again: "There is still , I saw Elder Fu bought crisp pears from the foot of the mountain in the afternoon, and said that he wanted to know the difference between the pears in Sichuan and the pears in Jiangnan, and I am afraid that he is waiting for you at this moment."

A light flashed in Yan Xubai's eyes suddenly, he didn't know what he was recalling, and a smile flashed across his mouth.She was about to say goodbye to Duanying, but stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Duanying looked at his back and asked.

"Auntie, do you still remember Di Tiansui?"

"Naturally remember."

Yan Xubai's eyes dimmed, and he said, "Does Aunt know that she is a book spirit?"

"Naturally... I also know."

"That day in Keeyue City, my husband and I were in a dangerous situation, and my senior sister lost her cultivation to heal my husband. Finally, she told me that she was 'from Yanmen'. I was just a little curious, what is the relationship between her and Yanmen Yuanyuan?" After Yan Xubai finished speaking, he looked at Duanying, and it turned out that he was not the only one who felt sad.

Duanying sighed and said, "Did it turn back into the letter again?"

Yan Xubai nodded.

"Back then when the spirit ghosts in Daishan were in trouble, hundreds of families joined forces to fight against each other. The old suzerain had a deep friendship with the suzerain of the Xiantao Banquet at that time. Although Fu Shuli was ten years older than Fu Shuli, he still became friends with him. The old suzerain Knowing Fu Shuli's practice back then, and worrying about his mental chaos, he would send some books to calm his mind and calm his mind from time to time. And Di Tiansui was sent to the past a year before the Xiantao Banquet was overturned."

After Duanying finished speaking, her eyes were a little distracted, as if the old things were too far away to search, "At that time, I had only been in Yanmen for only a year. As an outer disciple, I naturally had to do these chores like packing and cleaning. When I went to the bookstore to search for books, I found that the book was full of aura, with a faint appearance of a spirit. And if you concentrate on resonating with the book, the unformed book spirit can respond to your words. When I was young and playful, I found that After this incident, in the name of cleaning, I played with her in the bookstore for a few days."

"Later, the Xiantao Banquet was destroyed, and I thought Di Tiansui disappeared along with it. I didn't expect to see her in human form many years later." After Duanying finished speaking, there was a sad smile on her face, "But she But don't remember me."

After Duanying finished speaking, she looked at Yan Xubai and smiled, and said, "It's all old things, I don't know when she will wait for her next transformation."

Yan Xubai didn't answer, but remembered her face before she disappeared.

"If I turn into a spirit again in a hundred years, I hope I can stay in Yanmen forever."

I'm afraid I have to wait another hundred years.

Yan Xubai left the Pavilion of Immortal Remains, and walked along the stone road connecting the courtyards, back and forth slowly, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

It took him half an hour to complete the original road to Xiantan. Before reaching the Moon Gate Cave, he saw Yan Minghuai and Fu Guilan standing opposite each other in the courtyard from a distance, as if they were talking about something.

Yan Xubai was a little curious, wondering what the two of them would talk about.Thinking of this, he quickly walked towards the Moon Gate Cave, and even dragged the wound on his abdomen when he walked, the pain made him gasp.

"Brother."

Hearing Ming Huai's voice, Yan Xubai raised his head hastily, and put the hand on the wound behind his back.Seeing his movements, Yan Minghuai hurried forward and helped Yan Xubai walk into the courtyard.

The courtyard built by Xiantan is not big, and a tall sunset ginkgo, as well as stone tables and benches, are standing quietly in the fading light at this moment.

"What are you talking about?" Yan Xubai was supported and walked towards the courtyard, his eyes unconsciously resting on Fu Guilan.

Fu Guilan was also injured at the time, and was disturbed by a little ghost energy when he sealed the nothingness, but the most serious injury was still on his hand. Fu Tan's stabbing with Shengxie almost crushed his metacarpal bone .Although he is a capable cultivator, he doesn't care about flesh and blood injuries, but he has not yet ascended to immortality, and his fleshy and mortal body still needs to be taken care of.

At this time, there was still some dressing wrapped around his hands.

"It's just chatting." Fu Guilan looked at the person with a smile, shrugged his shoulders, and glanced at Yan Minghuai again.

"Huh?" Yan Xubai was slightly puzzled, looked at Ming Huai from the side, and saw that he seemed troubled, and said, "Ming Huai? Why do you need to hide it from me?"

Being suddenly clicked, Yan Minghuai was startled, loosened the hand that supported Yan Xubai, took out the folding fan and shook it casually, and said with a half smile: "I didn't hide it from my brother, but I have some things to talk to my brother alone..." Saying, He rolled up his cuffs again.

Before Yan Xubai could speak, he saw Fu Guilan nodding at him and smiling, "I'll go back to Xueyongyuan first, and I'll come to see you later." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Yan Minghuai, bowed his hands and bowed meaningfully Said: "Second Young Master, thank you for taking care of me these days."

Yan Minghuai only returned the salute without speaking.Fu Guilan also thought about it, and didn't intend to wait for a response, so he walked towards the Yuemen Cave, and before he was three feet away from Yan Xubai, he pulled him back, "Mr. is troubled, wait for me here for a while. I and Ming Huai goes to the terrace, a few words are enough."

Fu Guilan nodded, watching the two of them walk up the stairs to the terrace one after the other.Yan Xubai's youthful figure appears frail, not at all like Yan Minghuai's fully grown figure.Looking at the two of them like this, he felt that Yan Minghuai seemed to be that man's elder brother.

On the balcony, Yan Xubai lit fireflies to illuminate the surroundings, and then drew some spiritual energy to light up the lamps on the desk.According to his usual habits, he sat down with the round stool hooked, and his eyes fell unconsciously on the mountain of books on the table. One of the books was unfolded, and on it was the recent homework report of the disciples of the inner and outer sects.

"Sit down." Yan Xubai said softly.But his cousin didn't grab a group stool to sit on, but went to the railing, glanced at the courtyard, turned his back quickly, and said: "Brother, all sects of the Taoist sect are hanging up lists to arrest Fu Tan, It’s just that the dojo didn’t do this. Fu Tan is originally Mr. Fu’s younger brother, although Mr. Fu is righteous, if he hangs the list at this time, will it hurt the brother’s friendship with him.”

Holding the vermilion pen, Yan Xubai raised his head to look at Yan Minghuai, and said, "Since Mr. is righteous, we shouldn't speculate too much. Besides, Mr. Ben also told me that the place where Fu Tan escaped is a hundred It is impossible to find the home. Therefore, it is the same to him whether the Yan family hangs the list or not."

After the incident in Yueyue City ended, many people from Baiyunze came to help clean up the following matters, and when Fu Guilan opened the seal of the imprisoned monks and helped everyone recover the soul and consciousness of the young monks, he discovered... Fu Tan gone.Fu Guilan also talked about this with Yan Xubai, but because there was a flash of emotion in his heart at that time, he left a little bit of leeway, and he wanted to persuade him slowly after the matter was over, but he didn't expect Fu Tan to take advantage of the chaos at the time and run away up.

Yan Minghuai responded to the order, and said: "So, tomorrow I will order my disciples to post in the jurisdiction." After finishing speaking, he looked back at the courtyard, and was surprised to find that the man who was sitting under the tree had disappeared , "Mr. Fu, he..."

"How?" Yan Xubai raised his head and glanced at Yan Minghuai, thinking that there were other matters, but seeing that he didn't turn around, he just replied: "He's gone."

Yan Xubai smiled, put down the book in his hand, and opened another one to read, "Sir, he was more concerned about others. Staying and going back...it seems like something he would do."

"How is Qing Chenye? It's recovered." Yan Xubai asked suddenly, not because he was eager to see the decline of the Chize water environment, but because he was worried about Yan Minghuai.

These days Yan Minghuai went to visit several times, every time he came back he was not very happy.Yan Xubai was also recovering from his wounds so he didn't ask any further questions. Seeing that he looked like a dusty man again today, he guessed that he had gone to Shangyu again.

"Sect Master Qing's extracted half-soul was eroded by ghost energy in Keyue City. The half-soul has been separated from the body for many days. Although I revived his soul back into his body in time...but he still has some hidden diseases, and his body is not very healthy now... It is not yet known whether the Chize Water Environment can continue to be operated, and the old people in his family seem to be trying to seize power again." Yan Minghuai said, his eyes dimmed than before, "However, his mind has returned to normal."

"Xinxing?" Yan Xubai raised his eyes to look at Yan Minghuai, and found that he was also looking at him.

Yan Minghuai nodded and said: "Didn't Sect Master Qing also besiege Mr. Luozhao Mountain? At that time, Pei Xi'an had already taken away some of his soul, so it was Pei Xi'an who said what he believed. As for Qing Xu's death, In fact, there are other secrets…”

Speaking of this, Yan Xubai felt curious. At that time, he and Fu Guilan had guessed that it was only by accident that Qing Xu became the target of attack at the wedding banquet because he accepted the bracelet given by Yan Xubai.If there is a secret at this time, could it be that they guessed wrong?

"Just tell me."

Yan Minghuai said: "At that time, Qingxu was injured by the painting god to the point of spiritual consciousness, but it was not incurable. But it was only a night, and there was no way to recover. At that time, it was thought that the trauma was too serious, but later, Sect Master Qing was told that it was spiritual consciousness. Broken, so it must not be as simple as an injury at the wedding banquet."

"But, when it comes to broken spiritual consciousness, isn't it Pei Xi'an who told Qing Shenye?" Yan Xubai asked.

Yan Minghuai put away the fan, pinched Chi Yun hard with white knuckles, and said slowly: "It is indeed him, but his words are true." He paused for a moment, and a little resentment flashed in his eyes, "Qing Xu has been since childhood I am afraid that the only time I entered the territory was Canglan Mountain. After entering the country that day, I found that Qingxu was very angry. Later, I looked for an opportunity to sneak a look at her with Buxu, and saw her fading away. Due to my lack of skills... I can't Like an elder brother, read all the people at the same time for comparison. It is only in the remote environment, so the light of Yao Ming will be weaker than that outside the border..."

Yan Xubai also used Buxu to probe the people present that day, he recalled a little, thinking of the scene he saw that day, it is true that Qingxu's Yaoming is much lighter than others, and there is a vague sense of stagnation.

"You read that right." Yan Xubai said.

A look of guilt flashed in Yan Minghuai's eyes, and he said again: "I only know now that Pei Xi'an had already started to extract Qingxu's soul at that time, and was going to seal his spiritual consciousness."

"This matter... how do you know?" Yan Xubai asked.
