Autumn

"What bird is calling?"

"Oh, that's a blue sparrow."

"The blue bird?" The child looked up and listened to the chirping from the top of his head, "Why is it called the blue bird? Could it be blue?"

"That little bird is blue."

The man stroked the child's head and smiled.

The cicadas were singing outside the window, and the sun was slowly moving along with the clouds.He always seemed to be dreaming of his childhood self. Lu Li lay on his back on the bed, thinking about the dream just now.He knew it was dawn because he was used to waking up at this hour.What's more, Meng Yue downstairs started bickering with Jinse again.Think about the whole summer, I spent in their bickering.Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, after all, Wuweiju hasn't been this lively for a long time.

"Young master, are you up?"

Lu Li nodded and sat down at the table.

"I'm a little hungry, what's for dinner today?"

"How about trying this?"

Regarding the food in front of him, Lu Li could tell from the smell that it should be glutinous rice cake, and it was indeed so.

"I did this with my own hands."

Jinse was wearing a smoky gray dress, resting her chin on one hand, looking sideways at Lu Li's calm eyes.Meng Yue on the side served a bowl of lily porridge as usual, and when he turned around, he gave Jinse a blank look.In the next second, he was pushed and shoved by an invisible force, and almost fell out the door.Lu Li knew it was Jinse's fault, but in the end it was just a joke, so he laughed it off.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat."

The glutinous rice cake is soft, glutinous and sweet, which seems familiar.In Lu Li's memory, there was such a glutinous rice cake.Jinse seemed to sense Lu Li's subtle emotional fluctuations, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Meng Yue glanced at the woman in Tsing Yi standing at the door and frowned.

"Excuse me, does Mr. Lu live here?"

"What do you want from my son?"

Meng Yue was thinking about rejecting her, but he heard Lu Li's voice from inside.

"Meng Yue, don't invite the lady in yet."

Reluctantly, Meng Yue led the woman into the hall.The woman in Tsing Yi bowed to Lu Li Yingying who was sitting on the teacher's chair, her eyes fell on Jin Se's body, and she couldn't help but flinch.

"Am I that scary?" Jinse said with some displeasure, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in a little monster like you."

As Jinse said that, she turned away, and Lu Li shook his head helplessly, pointing to the chair beside him, motioning for the woman to sit down.

"What's wrong with Miss?"

"I dare not, as the young lady said, I am nothing more than a little monster. I dare not be the word 'Miss'."

"Jinse has such a temper, you don't need to mind." Lu Li smiled and said, "You seem to be entangled by something annoying."

The woman in Tsing Yi nodded slightly and said.

"Mr. is really well-informed. This matter is a long story, and we need to start from last summer."

The summer in Qingfeng City is always a bit muggy, and the cicadas dormant deep in the ground have already climbed up the high tree trunks, vibrating their thin cicada wings.Occasionally I think they are too noisy, but without the annoying cicadas, the fun of summer would be much less.There is an elegant courtyard in the bustling part of the south of the city, and a plaque is hung on the high gate - Ye Mansion.

Not far away, a navy blue sedan chair was approaching slowly, and landed in front of Ye Mansion's gate not long after.The car curtain was raised, and one person stepped out.This is a man in his twenties, I saw him wearing a purple shirt, wearing a white jade hair crown, with a faint smile on his face.

"Sir, you are back."

Uncle Rong, the housekeeper of Ye Mansion, had already stood at the door to greet him.

"Uncle Rong, did my mother ask about me?"

"Madam didn't see you early in the morning, so I asked. I said that the young master went to meet guests today, but Madam didn't say anything."

"That's good. I'll go see my mother first."

Mrs. Ye is forty years old, she has lost the glamor of her youth, but has gained the charm of years.At this time, it was already past noon, and Mrs. Ye was sitting in the gazebo in the garden with her maid Huier.

"mother!"

Mrs. Ye heard the sound and looked around, only to see her son standing at the foot of the steps panting, apparently running all the way here.

"How old are you, why are you still so irritable?" Mrs. Ye beckoned to her son, "Your father has been in Wangcheng for a long time, and you have no control. Going to meet guests early in the morning, you don't even have to greet me here. ?"

"Didn't my son come here to apologize?" Ye Minglun smiled and sat down opposite Mrs. Ye, "Today I happened to have an appointment with Li Fu, and he will return to Beijing in the afternoon, so I went to meet early."

"Li Fu?" Mrs. Ye thought for a while, "But your father's subordinate? Li Fu, the household servant?"

"It's him. Li Fu's paintings and calligraphy are outstanding, and my boy has admired them for a long time. Unexpectedly, he happened to be out of Beijing for business these few days, and my boy learned that he would pass by Qingfeng City when he returned to Beijing, so I asked someone to send a name card to him. "

"I also heard that Li Fu is a talented man. It was really not easy to win three yuan in the past. Speaking of which, it was your father who took the exam that year."

Mrs. Ye seemed to think of something as she spoke.

"Cheng'er, it's time for you to go to Wangcheng to take the exam."

Ye Minglun's character is Decheng.Hearing what his mother asked him to rush for the exam, he really had a headache.

"Mom, let's talk about rushing for the exam."

"It's not what mother wants to say, it's just that your father is counting on your son to inherit his father's career. Thinking about it, you are also a person who has won two prizes in a row. It is not difficult to win another number one."

Ye Minglun was just sitting, but his mind was thinking about the blank rice paper in the study.

"You are the only son of the Ye family, and in the future the Ye family will rely on you to shine. Do you remember what I said?"

"My child remembers."

Ye Minglun has always been filial and would never contradict his mother, so it is naturally the same this time.

"Could you please go to Furong Garden to greet you when you come back?"

"Haven't been there yet."

"Then go and say hello. Your second mother hasn't talked much since your sister got married. She treats you well."

Ye Minglun agreed and withdrew.

Living in Furong Garden is Master Ye's second wife, surnamed He, named Jing Lian.She is the daughter of a schoolteacher.Back then, Mrs. Ye had never been pregnant, so she took Jinglian for her husband.One year after Jing Lian passed through the family, she gave birth to her daughter Ye Lingrong. When Ye's parents and daughters were three or four years old, Mrs. Ye was also pregnant, and she is now Ye Minglun.So Jing Lian is very important to Mrs. Ye's heart, she thinks that she is like the Guanyin who gave her son, bringing such a son for her.Although Jing Lian came from a small family, she can be regarded as a scholarly family and has always followed the rules.He treats Ye Minglun as his own, and the relationship between his daughter Ye Lingrong and his younger brother is also very close.So Ye Minglun not only greets his mother, Madam Ye, but also greets He Jinglian every day.

Ye Lingrong got married a year ago to the eldest son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Now living in Wangcheng, it is difficult for mother and daughter to see each other.It's just that Master Ye would visit occasionally and bring some things for Jing Lian for his daughter.He Jinglian is three years younger than Mrs. Ye, and has a very calm temperament. Not long after her daughter got married, she seldom went out of Furong Garden, and had to read Buddhist scriptures for several hours a day.

"Second Madam, the son is here."

The maid Cui Er stood outside the Buddhist hall and said.There was only a knock on the wooden fish inside the door, and then the door opened.Inside the door stood a dignified woman with a water-green dress and an elegant face, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her left hand.

"Second mother."

He Jinglian raised her eyes and saw Ye Minglun standing in the yard, and walked forward with a smile.

"My sister said she didn't see you this morning, why did you come to me now?"

He Jinglian pulled Ye Minglun to sit down on the stone pier in the yard.

"I went to meet a friend early in the morning, and I came back after lunch." Ye Minglun took a sip of the tea in front of him, "When I came back, Uncle Rong said that Mother asked me where I was going. I was worried that she would annoy me. It's fine."

"You are the only son of the Ye family, everyone worries about you for your own good."

"I know, it's just that my mother told me something about rushing for the exam."

"You don't want to go?"

He Jinglian naturally knew what he was thinking, Ye Minglun's temperament was unruly, if he was really asked to be an official, he might cause trouble.It's just that I can only think about it in my heart, after all he is the only son of the Ye family, the master must want him to shine in the family.

"Do not want to."

Only with Erniang, Ye Minglun would not care about expressing his true thoughts.

"Er Niang can't make the decision about this matter. If you really don't want to go, just talk to the master. Don't make a difference with the master because of these things. After all, you are father and son."

"My child understands."

Ye Minglun chatted with He Jinglian for a while in the Furong Garden, and then went back to his study.On the desk in the study is the blank piece of rice paper, which was spread yesterday afternoon, but I just don't know what to draw.Ye Minglun stared blankly for a while, then called Ye Yuan to move the pen, ink, paper and inkstone into the courtyard. Ye Minglun stood in front of the rice paper, looking up at the verdant green courtyard.But there seems to be a little blue among the dense green leaves.After staring intently for a while, Qinglan jumped and stood on the other side of the branch.It was a blue bird with long tail feathers hanging down naturally.The blue sparrow was tilting its head and looking at him, Ye Minglun couldn't help but smile.Picking up the pen and swaying it without hesitation, while holding my breath, on the blank rice paper, the dense branches and leaves are spreading from left to right in a staggered way, and gradually thinning after halfway through, a blue bird is about to fly down in the blank space on the right.Some scattered green leaves are swaying with the wind, meeting it in mid-air.

"The bird in this painting seems to be alive."

Ye Yuan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help being amazed.Ye Minglun was also very happy, looked up again, but the blue sparrow was no longer there, the smile on his face froze a bit, he looked around but couldn't find it, so he resentfully closed the study room.

As for the blue sparrow, it had already landed in the Furong Garden at this time.There is a banyan tree in Furong Garden, it is so huge that only three or four adult men can surround it.The blue bird landed on the banyan tree, looking at He Jinglian with blue eyes.

He Jinglian, who was embroidering in the yard, didn't pay much attention, but the maid Cui'er saw the blue sparrow.

"Second Madam, look at that bird. It's so beautiful."

He Jinglian looked up at the banyan tree, and saw a blue sparrow among the branches.

"This is Qingque. I heard my father say it when I was a child, but I never saw it."

"Qingque...the name sounds nice too."

"This bird looks pretty cute." He Jinglian looked at it for a while, "Let it go, maybe it's just resting here."

The blue sparrow never left until it suddenly flew away in the evening.This time it quietly landed on the stone table where Ye Minglun painted in the daytime.

Qing Que tilted her head to look at the study facing the stone desk, where there was a flickering light, and a figure under the light was standing in front of the desk and writing something.

"Summer is scorching green, and the breeze blows a little bit of red. A little bit of blue enters the painting screen, as if seeing a beautiful woman."

Ye Minglun recited the inscribed poem on the painting, and the blue bird he saw during the day appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

"Young master, come and see!"

In the morning of the second day, Ye Minglun had just gone to invite Ann, and was sitting in the study reading, when he suddenly heard Ye Yuan's voice outside the door, so he went out to have a look.I saw a group of servants and maidservants surrounding the stone table in the yard, as if they were looking at something rare.When everyone saw Ye Minglun, they backed away consciously.Ye Minglun looked intently, and it was the blue sparrow from yesterday.Even though it is surrounded by people, it is very calm.

Ye Minglun stretched out his palm with a smile, the blue bird looked at it with blue eyes for a while, and then jumped up lightly.

"Ye Yuan, go get some millet and water."

Hearing this voice, Ye Yuan knew that the young master wanted to raise the bird, so he went to the kitchen as instructed.Ye Minglun entered the study with the blue sparrow in his hands, looked around, as if he didn't know where to put it.I had to say it to the bird.

"The study is only this big, you can go wherever you like."

Qingque seemed to understand, flapped its wings a few times and flew to the desk.It is falling next to the painting with the poem inscribed last night.

"Do you like it too? This painting is about you."

Ye Minglun pointed to the blue bird in the painting.

"If you are really a woman, you must also be a country and a city."

From then on, no matter where Ye Minglun went, the blue bird would follow closely, either landing on his shoulder, or on his desk, and the furthest one was only on a certain tree beside him.This beautiful turquoise bird always attracts people to stop and watch.

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Minglun gave Qingque a name, Qing'er.Although Ye Yuan frowned, saying that he didn't even know whether the bird was male or female, so he named such a girl Jiajia.But Ye Minglun still insisted on calling her like this. In his heart, Qing'er is a beautiful woman who can overwhelm the country and the city.

On this day, Qing'er was still standing on Ye Minglun's desk as usual, but Ye Minglun clearly felt something strange about it.It was a fear, though he didn't know what there was in this house that a bird should be afraid of.He carefully held Qing'er in the palm of his hand, trying to comfort her, but he felt Qing'er's body trembling slightly.The wind outside the window is indeed a bit weird. Although it is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still a bit sultry. There should be such a chilling cold wind.

This bleak cold wind has lasted for half a month, and it often starts in the evening.Although everyone thought it was strange, they didn't think anything big would happen until the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The night was extremely cold, and the originally scheduled moon viewing had to be cancelled.The whole family sat around in Mrs. Ye's room, chatting and eating mooncakes.Qing'er stood on Ye Minglun's shoulder, leaning tightly against his neck.Suddenly it seemed to hear something, and flew out of the room, and everyone chased to the door suspiciously.Ye Minglun even chased him out of the room.

"Qing'er! Qing'er! Where are you going?"

Ye Minglun stood in the yard and shouted Qing'er's name, but there was no response.Just as he was frowning in confusion, the cold wind picked up violently, and before everyone noticed, Ye Minglun had already fallen to the ground unconscious.

"Master Ye..."

The voice seemed distant and near, Ye Minglun frowned to identify the voice carefully.There was silence all around, and the cold wind disappeared in an instant.He just felt as if he was floating...

"Young Master Ye."

This time the voice was clearer, it seemed to be right next to my ear.Ye Minglun opened his eyes with this thought, and there was a woman in Tsing Yi standing in front of him.

"who are you?"

"I'm Qing'er."

"Qing'er?"

Ye Minglun looked at the woman's face with some doubts, it was a young girl's face, and the pair of blue eyes seemed familiar.Yes, that's right, Qing'er's blue eyes are also like this.

"You really are Qing'er." Ye Minglun was a little happy, but he also had doubts, "Why did you suddenly take human form?"

"Qing'er was originally a green sparrow that had been cultivated for thousands of years, but it just happened to land in Ye's yard that day."

"Then why don't you leave?"

"It's just that I don't want to leave."

Qing'er lowered her eyes and whispered.Ye Minglun thought about this sentence carefully, and suddenly realized.

"Qing'er, you..."

"Young master, there are some things that cannot be said."

Qing'er knew what Ye Minglun was going to say, so she quickly covered his mouth.Ye Minglun happily held Qing'er's hand, wishing he could embrace her immediately.At this time, I heard some strange voices, and after careful identification, I realized that it was my mother's voice.

"Cheng'er! Cheng'er! You should wake up! Mother promises you, if you don't want to rush the exam, you won't take the exam, you can do whatever you want!"

"Young master, wake up!"

Ye Minglun saw himself lying on the bed surrounded by people, his mother was sitting on the edge of the bed crying to him, and Erniang was standing at the head of the bed covering her face and crying.Ye Yuan knelt in front of him and kept calling his name.Ye Minglun didn't understand what was going on, why they couldn't see him standing here properly.

"My lord, what is lying on the bed is your body. What is standing here is your soul."

"Am I dead?"

"Remember when you were knocked down by a gust of cold wind?"

"I remember. The gust of wind suddenly became fierce and came towards my body. It seemed that something penetrated me, and then I didn't know anything."

"The wind didn't kill you, it just let your soul out of your body. The wind was caused by Bi Fangniao to catch me."

"Bi Fang? I remember that it is said in the "Shan Hai Jing" that it looks like a crane, with one leg, red veins, blue texture and white beak."

"That's right, this is the Bifang bird. It is the natural enemy of the blue sparrow."

"So, that day it mistakenly thought that I had seen through it, so it attacked me."

"It should be. Now it is still looking for a chance to catch me, and your spirit can't leave your body for too long, I must let your spirit return."

"Do you have a solution?"

"I think there's someone who can help us."

Qing'er looked at Lu Li with blue eyes, but the latter didn't respond because he was thinking about the whole story.After a while, Lu Li finally spoke.

"Miss, do you want me to help you return Mr. Ye's soul, or help you get rid of that Bi Fangniao who just wants to catch you?"

"I want to."

"To return Mr. Ye's mind and soul, I have to see his physical body to decide. As for Bi Fang...you should know that it is not so easy to deal with."

As Lu Li said, Bi Fangniao was the most difficult task for Qing'er.Bi Fang is an ancient monster who has lived in the Eight Desolation for generations.It is said that thousands of years ago, an immortal set up an enchantment between Kyushu, the Four Seas, and the Eight Desolations. From then on, the demons in the Eight Desolations could not cross the four seas and invade the human beings in Kyushu.If this legend is true, then how did this Bi Fang come to Kyushu through the barrier?Furthermore, as an ancient monster, Bi Fang is by no means something that a mere human can contend with.

"Miss Qing'er, why don't you go to the Ye Mansion first, if you can restore Young Master Ye's soul. Then we will consider Bi Fangniao's matter."

"Thank you Mr. Lu."

Sitting on the high roof, Jinse watched Lu Li and his party leave, her black eyes narrowed, and she disappeared as soon as she moved.

Mrs. Ye sat beside Ye Minglun blankly. Huier had just sent away the tenth doctor who had been invited. He Jinglian stood anxiously by the side, counting the rosary beads with trembling hands.Although Ye Yuan stood outside the door, he poked his head from time to time to look at the sleepy Ye Minglun.Uncle Rong sighed and shook his head, and walked into the yard.He was worried that the young master would die sooner or later if he went on like this.But the madam refused to let the funeral go, let alone tell the master, she just urged them to find a doctor.But it's also strange, if the young master is really dead, it will be more than ten days after counting, the body is still warm, and everything is as usual except that he is not breathing.Such a weird situation, even the well-informed Uncle Rong was a little puzzled.

"Uncle Rong, a blind young man came outside the door and said he could save his life."

Hearing this news, Uncle Rong jumped up suddenly.

"Take me there!"

There were three people standing outside the gate of Ye Mansion, a girl in green clothes and a boy in plain clothes.Standing in the middle was a young man about 20 years old, dressed in moon white, with a handsome face and elegant manners.His black eyes stared silently ahead.Such a pity for such eyes.Uncle Rong thought.

"What is the name of this gentleman?"

"I'm going down to Luli."

"Master Lu." Although he knew that the young man in front of him could not see anything, Uncle Rong still saluted respectfully, "I heard that you can save our son?"

"I'm not [-]% sure, but I can give it a try. I just wonder if your government is willing?"

Hearing this, Uncle Rong hesitated.He only said that he had to ask his wife first, so he asked the servant to wait in the side hall with them.Not long after, Uncle Rong brought Mrs. Ye to the side hall.After the two parties met Li, Madam Ye looked at Lu Li again, and said slowly.

"Uncle Rong told me everything. Although the young master said that he is not [-]% sure, I am willing to give it a try. But I must ensure that even if I fail, I will not hurt my son."

"Madam, please rest assured that you will never hurt the young master."

Ye Minglun's bedroom is very simple, and it should be very large from the outside, but the whole house has been guarding here these few days, so it inevitably looks cramped.Lu Li frowned, and asked Uncle Rong to invite everyone out of the bedroom.

"Sorry, two ladies." Lu Li saluted, "I need absolute silence during the diagnosis and treatment, so please avoid the two ladies."

Although Mrs. Ye was somewhat unwilling, she was helpless.Supported by He Jinglian, she sat down in the courtyard.

After everyone left, Meng Yue closed all doors and windows as ordered, and stood guard at the door.Qing'er invited Ye Minglun's soul.

"Mr. Lu." Ye Minglun looked at the body on the bed, frowned, "Master, is there really a way to restore my soul?"

"The young master's soul has not been out of the body for a long time now, and it is not difficult to return to his place."

Lu Li paused and looked at Qing'er.

"It's just that Bi Fangniao is what caused your soul to leave your body. It seems to have tampered with your body. You won't wake up even if your soul returns."

Qing'er looked at Lu Li in disbelief, and Ye Minglun was a little flustered.

"Could it be in Mr. Ye's body..."

"It's the Soul-Living Orb."

The Soul-Living Orb that Lu Li mentioned was a bead made from the fusion of Bi Fangniao's demonic energy, and it was used to leave the Soul as the name suggests.With this bead in Ye Minglun's body, no matter how many times his spirit returns to its original position, it will still leave his physical body.And if the soul leaves the body for more than one month, the body will die.But the soul has become a lonely ghost and cannot be rescued.

"If you forcefully return to the position, the Lihun Orb will devour the soul. In this way, Mr. Ye will be swallowed by Bi Fangniao."

Lu Li knew exactly what the surrounding atmosphere was like.In fact, before he came, he knew that things were not that simple. Although he didn't think of Lihun Orb, he also knew that since Bi Fangniao separated Ye Minglun's soul, he would not let him return easily.

"It seems that if you want to return Mr. Ye's soul to its place, you must break the Soul-Living Orb."

"The Lihun Orb is transformed by Bi Fangniao's demonic energy. If you want to break the Lihun Orb, you must bring down Bi Fangniao."

Qing'er gritted his teeth and said.She never thought that Bi Fangniao was so vicious.

"Miss Qing'er, Bi Fangniao is a monster. For them, they only need to achieve their goals. It's just that it is difficult to bring down Bi Fangniao."

"I can lure Bi Fangniao out."

"It's easy to lure Bi Fangniao with you as bait. But let Lu Li, a mere human, deal with ancient monsters. Do you want him to die?"

A sharp accusation came from mid-air, and Qing'er panicked to defend herself, but suddenly felt a chill down her back.

"Little Qingque, don't blame me for not reminding you. If Lu Li has something good or bad, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

"Jinse, don't scare her. It's not that serious."

"What do you think Bi Fangniao is? It is an ancient monster with tens of thousands of years of cultivation. Do you think you can deal with it?"

"But there's still you."

Lu Li said with a smile.Jinse was at a loss for words for a while, although Bi Fangniao was an ancient monster, but she, Qingqiu Nine Tails, was not easy to mess with.

"Then you want my help?"

Jinse moved closer to Lu Li and met his eyes.Feeling the breath, Lu Li felt a little nervous unconsciously, and turned his slightly red face to the side.

"If you open your mouth, I will never hesitate to define it."

Jinse seemed very satisfied with Lu Li's performance.

"If Qingqiu Nine Tails can help, of course..."

"Okay, since that's the case. Then I will help you as much as I can."

Looking at Jinse's smile, Qing'er felt hairy for some reason.

"Little Qingque," Jinse appeared next to Qing'er at some point, putting one hand on her slender shoulders, "Bi Fangniao wants you, you should know where it is now."

"Should...should be in Ye Mansion..."

Qing'er's voice was a little trembling, but Jinse just raised the corners of her mouth.

"It seems to be right as I guessed, this house has been shrouded in Bi Fang's aura."

"So it can be found."

"Not necessarily." Jinse glanced at Qing'er, "I still have to wrong the little Qingque as bait."

Jinse's gaze shifted from Qing'er to Ye Minglun's soul.

"It's okay if the little blue sparrow doesn't dare to go, anyway, we still have a soul. Although it's a bit risky, it's still a good bait."

Qing'er took a deep breath and turned to face Jinse.

"I'll be the bait. Bi Fang has been eyeing me for the past few days, and he was almost attacked on the way to Wuweiju."

"Okay. Let's try tonight then."

After nightfall, Qing'er was sitting alone at the door of Ye Minglun's bedroom, and Jinse had already covered her breath and sat quietly in the study.Lu Li and Meng Yue stayed with Ye Minglun's body and soul in the bedroom.

The trees in the yard rustled, and the sound gradually changed.The sound suddenly changed from a trickle to a raging sea wave, and the intensity also increased instantly.Qing'er forced herself to stand there calmly, she knew it was coming.

There seemed to be something mixed in the wind, and it went straight to Qing'er's face.Qing'er waved her hand subconsciously to block it, but because of the opponent's attack, her body retreated dozens of steps and fell heavily on the ground.There seemed to be blood in his mouth, and before he could wipe off the blood at the corner of his mouth, the thing rushed over again.This time it showed its figure, a big bird shaped like a crane.It has blue and white feathers, a pair of eyes, and a red crest on its head like a flame.It opened its sharp beak and screamed piercingly towards Qing'er, the sound was like a sharp knife irritating the eardrum.Even Lu Li in the bedroom couldn't help covering his ears, but it was still difficult to block the sharp voice.

Bi Fangniao waved its huge wings, raised Xin's long feet, and rushed straight to Qing'er's heart with its sharp claws.Unable to resist, Qing'er closed her eyes forcefully, suddenly something seemed to pass over her head quickly, and then Bi Fangniao's more mournful cry came from next to her ear.

"Can you still get up?"

Qing'er opened her eyes and saw a smoky gray.

"Well, yes."

Qing'er stood up reluctantly, and looked over Jinse's shoulder, and landed on Bi Fangniao who was struggling to stand up not far away.

"Qingqiu Nine Tails!" Bi Fangniao shook his wings angrily, and everything around him was overturned by the huge air current. "Why are you here?"

"How you came here is how I came here."

Jinse raised the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph! Just now I noticed something was wrong, but I didn't want you to be here to disrupt the situation! Get back quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Zhang'e Bifang, I don't want to fight a bird."

Bi Fangniao narrowed his scarlet eyes and stared at Jinse's face for a while.A crimson storm surrounded it, except for Jinse who was still standing firmly on the spot, Qing'er was already firmly holding on to the rockery beside her.Lu Li in the bedroom threw a talisman to lock Ye Minglun's soul, while Meng Yue used his body to protect Ye Minglun's body.When the storm subsided, Qing'er dared to open her eyes and cautiously looked forward.There stood a slender young man, wearing a bluish-white tunic, his slender lips were tightly pressed, his scarlet eyes were filled with fiery anger, and his long crimson hair, tied up with a silver hair crown, stood in the wind. flying among the remnants.

"I thought who it was, it turned out to be Danlu from Zhang'e Yin's family."

Yin Danlu looked at Jinse furiously, her handsome facial features were distorted due to anger.But such an ugly expression did not last long, when the facial features slowly unfolded, Qing'er realized that this was an extremely handsome man.

"I didn't expect Jinse from Qingqiu Bai's family to come to Kyushu. I thought you would become a fairy."

Jinse cursed Yin Danlu in her heart, because he exposed her scars.Her cultivation was regarded as a joke by the entire Eight Desolation. The immortals who lived above the nine heavens had never regarded the Eight Desolation demons as friends.

"Because I have to deal with you first."

"Fix me?" Yin Danlu frowned, "I only want the cultivation of that blue sparrow, why are you stopping me?"

"Because she entrusted me to protect her."

"Entrustment?" Yin Danlu's voice contained a bit of sarcasm, "Are you kidding me, does she still entrust you to restore that human soul?"

"good."

Jinse's answer made Danlu a little astonished, her sharp eyes fell on Qing'er, Qing'er couldn't help hiding behind Jinse for a little longer.

"You Bai Jinse won't meddle in such nosy affairs lightly. It seems that this matter is a bit strange."

Danlu doesn't want to have a direct conflict with Jinse, the two of them have the same level of cultivation, and if they really fight, they will lose both sides.Danlu's scarlet eyes scanned the entire courtyard, and finally landed on the door of the bedroom.Jinse's heart moved, but she didn't attack after all. The best policy is to wait and see how the current situation changes.

Lu Li in the bedroom seemed to have noticed that sharp gaze, his hands were tightly gripping the edge of the bed, his joints turned white from excessive force.Meng Yue was even more nervous and did not dare to move rashly.

"Say it clearly, what do you want me to do?"

From the very beginning, Yin Danlu sensed that there was a strange person here, and this person was very unusual.And Jinse said that she accepted Qingque's commission, and if the two are connected, the answer is very clear.

"It's so refreshing." Although Jinse was a little surprised, she still said clearly, "Resolve the Lihun Orb. As for the little Qingque, her cultivation is still shallow, why not wait for her to practice for a few hundred years, and she will not be able to swallow it any more." Late."

Hearing this, Qing'er tugged on the soot-gray brocade dress a few times, and Danlu on the other side recovered from her surprise, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Conditions. There must be an exchange. You can't let me do everything, but give me nothing. I, Yin Danlu, don't want such a loss-making business."

"Here you are." Ignoring Yin Danlu's sly smile, Jinse threw out a brocade box and continued, "This is the Bai family's spirit-gathering elixir, and you only get one in a hundred years."

Dan Lu raised her eyebrows, and looked at the white jade-like pill in the brocade box with a clear expression.

"Well, after receiving such a great gift from you, I should give something back."

Yin Danlu stopped looking at Qingque, and walked straight into the bedroom.

The moment the door was pushed open, Lu Li suddenly stood up, his thin body blocking Ye Minglun's bed.

"Mortal, I won't hurt anyone. Besides, you can't stop me."

Yin Danlu raised the corners of her mouth in disdain, the young man in front of her was the owner of the unknown breath.Although it is still unclear about his origin, it is undeniable that the aura on his body makes him somewhat afraid.Yin Danlu frowned unconsciously, the thought that flashed through his mind just now made him a little displeased.He has no patience for Lu Li who is still on guard.

Yin Danlu raised her right hand, palm facing outward, facing Ye Minglun on the bed.

"Young Master, Young Master Ye is flying!"

Meng Yue's eyes widened, watching Ye Minglun's body rise from the bed, and something seemed to glow in his chest.The light became more and more dazzling, a bead flew out from the chest and went straight to Yin Danlu's palm.Meng Yue subconsciously reached out to catch the falling Ye Minglun.

"I've already taken the Soul-Leaving Orb, and you can return his soul to its place at any time."

Yin Danlu turned sideways, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Lu Li putting his spirit back into place.Turning his gaze, he saw the blue sparrow passing lightly by his side.

"Human monsters have different ways. Qingque, you should think about it."

This sentence is like a huge boulder, Qing'er's footsteps suddenly stagnate.The whole room was silent for a moment, only Qing'er's rapid heartbeat could be heard.Lu Li's frown became more and more tangled, Yin Danlu's words were correct.No matter how they love each other, transvestites have different paths.This is an unalterable fact.

"I... I'll just look at him... and then... I'll leave..."

Qing'er arrived at the bed in two or three steps, but she dared not reach out to touch it.He could only look at Ye Minglun's still-awake face, sobbing softly.

"Qing'er...is this the name he gave you?" Qing'er nodded, and Yin Danlu continued, "How about being my maid?"

As soon as the words were finished, everyone's eyes were focused on Yin Danlu, and most of these eyes were doubt and surprise.

"Hey, I'm not a villain."

"Who told you to chase Qing'er in the first place?"

Jinse raised her eyebrows and said.

"Nonsense, although I have left the Eight Desolation, I still want to practice. Who made her appear just now."

"Then why are you asking her to be your maid now?"

Meng Yue said loudly, and pulled Qing'er behind him.

"I think Jinse's words are good, and this girl is a talent for cultivation. Maybe she will practice again
