After the master's ascension

Chapter 12 The Wind Rises

After walking a few steps, the voice from upstairs came clearly.

Surrounded by men in fancy clothes, their voices were as loud as his outfit.

I could only hear his voice coming through the mask: "The wooden utensils here are too bad! Is there anything else?"

The more he talked, the more angry he became: "The last one was too weak, and it was useless if used. The gold and fire vessels sold before have good effects. Among the five-element vessels, why is my wooden vessel useless?"

"I am also a regular customer, and I hope that the lady will not keep her secrets. The spirit stone is not a problem! As long as you can find something that satisfies me, it is not a problem for me to pack ten or eight pieces for the banquet in the evening."

Five elements vessel?Lu Wangyu's thoughts moved slightly.

The decoration of this building is similar to that of Hualou.Thinking of the information revealed by the Cangshan Yaozu, Lu Wangyu had a guess.

He unconsciously twirled his fingers, thinking about it.

Then the person in charge talked to Mr. Huafu in a low voice, as if they were calmed down.Immediately, the young man in Huafu left with a black-clothed waiter with a figure of eight steps.

And the servants he brought scattered in twos and twos, walked a little farther, found a good place and sat down.

At this time, the person he was talking to showed a side face. It was a woman with crescent eyebrows and pale lips. Her eyes were slightly raised, which was a natural wink.Dressed in a white robe, with long hair tied loosely to her waist with a headband, she looked quite cold.

She looked sideways at the direction in which Mr. Huafu was leaving, and when she turned her head, she saw three more people standing at the stairs.

She went up to greet her, without saluting or flattering, she just asked softly: "I don't know how many young masters, what do you need?"

Lu Wangyu bowed his hands and said, "My lady, I wonder if I can find a fire vessel for you?"

The woman in white leaned over slightly, and returned the Wanfu salute, but her expression was a little softer than before.

"Of course, but fire vessels are relatively rare, and there are only two in the building at present."

"One is Lieyancao, which takes the form of a man. The other is Tiandan, which also takes the form of a man."

Lu Wangyu showed a look of embarrassment, he seemed a little embarrassed: "My lady, I don't know if there are any other... in female form..."

"This..." He froze.

As if feeling that he was embarrassing others, he cupped his hands quickly and saluted in a daze.

His behavior amused the white-robed woman, she covered her face and chuckled a few times.

"Master, don't be in a hurry. The building just got a new fire vessel, a young girl. It's just that she hasn't tamed it yet, so I'm afraid it will dissatisfy you..."

"No, no, no..." Lu Wangyu quickly added, "That's all for her, and I hope the lady will be happy."

"The young master is a guest, so where is it that I want to fulfill? It sounds like I'm hitting a mandarin duck with a stick."

Lu Wangyu smiled, but didn't answer.

The woman in white robe called a waiter in black and asked him to lead Lu Wangyu upstairs.

She took two steps towards the stairs, and when passing by Wei Zhiyue and Jiang An, she nodded slightly in salute.

Wei Zhi made an appointment with Jiang An to make way sideways, and bowed his hands back.

Lu Wangyu followed the waiter in black into a closed stair passage.There are no candles around, but a layer of firefly powder is painted on the wall.

Yomo reached the top floor, and there were no more stairs.

Lu Wangyu came out of the dark passage, and there was a corridor in front of him, and rooms next to it.

It is exactly the same as Hualou.

Lu Wangyu thought to himself.

The waiter in black led him to the door of a room, then saluted, turned and left.

Lu Wangyu watched his figure disappear into the darkness, straightened his sleeves, pushed the door open and entered.

The moment the door was opened, a gust of wind blew from the window directly opposite.All of a sudden, a burst of fresh air outside, mixed with the scent of Xiaoyexiang, rushed towards my face.

I thought the building was sealed off.

Lu Wangyu let out a mouthful of turbid air, the bloody smell lingering around was diluted, and he felt much more comfortable.

He looked into the house, and there was a figure looming on the ledge in front of another window.But through the screen, I can't see clearly.

Lu Wangyu turned and closed the door.

He walked around the screen and walked up to the figure.

It was a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a palm-sized face and willow eyebrows and almond eyes.

She wears a golden rose hairpin on her head and wears a golden feather coat.There was a black puppet sewn in his hand.

When Lu Wangyu approached, she only raised her head for a glance, then lowered her head and went about her own business.

Lu Wangyu didn't make a sound, he quietly watched her work for a while.

Although it is made of black beaded silk, whether it is the scissors-like tail or the shape of the short head and fat body, it is exactly the same as the one on Cangshan's old man.

Lu Wangyu spoke to break the silence.

"Is this a swallow?"

The little girl didn't say a word, but the thread in her hand stopped for a while, and then moved again.

Lu Wangyu was not discouraged either, he raised his eyebrows and sat on the stool unceremoniously.

"Have you ever seen a swallow?"

Still no response.

Lu Wangyu propped up one leg and propped his chin with his hand.

He seemed to think of something suddenly: "By the way, your grandpa asked me to bring you a sentence..."

The little girl's needle pierced her finger, and bright red blood quickly oozes out.

She was stunned.

Lu Wangyu stared at her, and softly repeated the old man's words: "Don't forget who you are and where you belong."

The little girl raised her head in disbelief, her heart was beating violently, her eyes were already red.

"Right... Li Xiang."

As soon as the word "Li Xiang" came out, the little girl burst into tears.

Her expression was still stunned, but the puppet in her hand was tightly squeezed.

Blood stained the puppet's white belly.Li Xiang tried her best to restrain her ups and downs, but the tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling like a broken string of beads.

She was like a child who was suddenly cared about. She thought she was strong enough to fight alone.

But as long as a simple sentence of concern, half of suffering can also become very wronged.

She's so scared...

Li Xiang bit her lip.With tears in her eyes, she hurriedly tore a piece of white cloth, and wrote a few words with the blood on her finger: "Beware of someone."

Seeing her anxious expression, Lu Wangyu took out a small array from the skirt of his shirt.

"Don't worry, I have something to block."

Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She held up the piece of cloth, and a flame ignited in her palm, burning it up in an instant.

"My name is Lu Wangyu. It was your grandfather who asked us to come to you. Now let's talk about why you ran out."

Li Xiang pursed her lips and bowed her head in silence.

Lu Wangyu didn't make things difficult for her, and said, "Then let me change the question, besides your grandfather asking us, I have another reason for coming to you."

He spread his hands and said: "Your big formation trapped my junior brother inside. Your grandfather said that you took away the magic weapon for entering and exiting, and I came to look for it."

Li Xiang raised her head, grasped the point, and asked, "Is your junior brother a demon? It's impossible for people to enter that formation."

Lu Wangyu was noncommittal.

He said, "You are very sharp."

Li Xiang adjusted her mood, but her voice was still a little choked.

"The magic weapon is still in Cangshan Mountain, I didn't bring it out."

She took a deep breath, as if regaining the courage to move forward, she looked directly at the person in front of her, and said, "I can tell you why I came out.

"For all my people."

"Even, the entire demon clan."

Lu Wangyu frowned slightly.

Li Xiang looked at him with clear eyes, and suddenly brought up an irrelevant topic.

"Mr. Lu, have you heard of Shibayishu?"

This is common sense in the cultivation world, and of course Lu Wangyu knows it.

He replied: "Eighteen Yisuan is formed by the eighteen most powerful fortune tellers selected by various divination sects. The black and white chess pieces are listed as the stars, and the divination is performed by the method of chess."

Moreover, the news of their master's ascension was released from the Banished Star Building of the No. [-] divination school.

It's an old enemy.

"The head of the eighteen chess games back then - Li Qiyuan."

Li Xiang lowered her head and touched the wound on her hand, it still hurt a little.

"It's my father," she said softly.

Lu Wangyu's throat moved, but he still didn't make a sound.

Li Xiang smiled reluctantly, and she pretended to be free and easy: "My mother is a demon, so I am also a demon... But my demon power is weak, and I have only inherited half of my father's divination ability."

"But I had a dream...a nightmare."

She turned away, unwilling to go into further details.

"At the end of the dream, a voice told me. The banquet returns with bare bones, and everything begins."

"Red bones..." Lu Wangyu murmured softly.

"Jiaoqi's family, as the days go by thousands of miles, their bodies turn into fire, and their bones turn into red jade. Burning all things, it will continue all year round."

Li Xiang pretended not to care and rubbed her eyes, wiping away the tears that had accumulated in her eyes.

"The bare bones of Yandu should refer to my mother."

"Back then, she stayed in Jiujiuxiang to let me escape... So, I have to come. I want to bring her home, and I want to save my people..."

"I know that a monster like me can stay here for a long time. As long as I find Chigu, there is a way to send it out!"

"What about you, how do you go out?" Lu Wangyu interrupted her.

"I don't need to go out." She raised her head, through the makeup, she finally had a little girl's innocence, "I am the daughter of Li Qiyuan and Muyan, I am not afraid."

Immediately, her eyes dimmed.

"But, it's completely different. Nineteen Fragrances have nothing in common with before... I can't find it... I can't find my mother's bare bones..."

Lu Wangyu didn't answer directly, he suddenly said: "You know, this is another space expanded with spiritual power. Once the supply of spiritual power is cut off, the entire space will collapse, and everything in the space will be annihilated."

Li Xiang was stunned, her pale lips trembled slightly, and said, "You mean..."

"Besides, you said that the fire of the Chiyan family is dead and never extinguished all year round. If it is still at the original location, then you must be able to find it easily." Lu Wangyu lowered his eyes, he analyzed the situation objectively, and continued what he just said, "So It is very possible that this place was rebuilt. And your mother's bare bones should have completely disappeared along with the previous Nineteen Fragrances..."

Li Xiang was completely stunned.

She murmured: "There are no bare bones, then they..."

Lu Wangyu sighed lightly and said, "So, the most important thing now is for us to take you home."

Li Xiang raised her head, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and her face was a little pale.

The little girl shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's not that simple. Nineteen Fragrances have existed for thousands of years, and the forces behind them are intricate. Back then, my parents sent me away with all their lives."

"Yes, it's my brother who sent you back to Cangshan." Lu Wangyu smiled.

"So, you just need to tell me everything you know. Let's figure out other things." Lu Wangyu sat up straight, looked at her and said seriously.
