Mu Yu Canglan

Lu Qinglian's birthday party undoubtedly gave Lu Xiu a big face.Now the streets and alleys of Chang'an are rumored about this grand event, and some people even said that while adding fuel and vinegar, it was as if he had also gone. More importantly, the participation of the Murong siblings added a lot of color to the banquet. This time, the evaluation of "Jiangxianghe" was very high.

At this time, the festive color of the Xiangfu has not faded, and the lanterns and scenery around have not been completely removed. Obviously, the Xiangfu may not have been so lively for a long time.

"Master, there are two guests asking to see you." In the study, Steward Lu's voice seemed a little strange.

"Oh? Which adult is coming to see the old man this evening?" Lu Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"No, master, they are two grassroots people." Director Lu replied.

"What?" Lu Xiu said with a sullen expression on his face, "I went to court this morning, and the old man made a big face in front of the emperor, and tonight I'm going to meet two grassroots people in the prime minister's mansion? Throw them out!"

"Master, these two people really want to see something, and they said that it will do you no harm." Director Lu said.

Lu Xiu was taken aback, and said, "Oh? Then invite them in, the old man wants to hear what's going on."

"The servant will invite you here."

The night was getting darker, and with the sound of clear footsteps, three figures appeared outside the door of the East Study, one of them was Steward Lu, and the other two were visitors.

"My master invites you two." Director Lu's voice came from outside the door.

"Thank you." Another man's voice came from outside the door.

Lu Xiu who was in the room was surprised. Suddenly, there were two strangers standing in the study room, and the appearance and temperament of these two people were beyond imagination.Lu Xiu looked at the two visitors in amazement. On the left was a dusty middle-aged man in a gray robe. Although there were some white hair on his head, his shrewd and calm temperament could not be concealed after the vicissitudes of life, and he even had a charming heroic spirit , The eyes as deep as the night seem to contain everything in the world.On the right is a woman in black, with a pitch-black cloak, pitch-black soft armor, pitch-black leggings, pitch-black high boots, a pitch-black cloak, and a pitch-black hood, as if completely integrated with the night, but in In this dark night, there is still a trace of blood red, that is the bright red pupils in the woman's eyes.The woman under the shadows only showed half of her face, but this half of her face was full of beauty.

"You..." Looking at these two extraordinary visitors, Lu Xiu was speechless for a moment.

"I've met Mr. Lu." The man on the left saluted first.

"I've met Mr. Lu." The woman on the right also bowed briefly.

Lu Xiu had regained his composure at this time, slowly sat back on the chair behind the desk, and asked slowly: "You two are visiting late at night, please give me your name first, who are you?"

"I'm Wu Yuanhan, master of the Broken Soul Sect." The middle-aged man didn't shy away from his name.

"Nightingale." The woman in black gave a simple answer.

"Broken Soul Sect? Why does a Jianghu sect seek this old man?" Lu Xiu asked coldly.

Wu Yuanhan smiled softly, and said: "Lu Xiang is in a high position, this Jianghu matter has nothing to do with your lord, but there is a deal right now, which will benefit you but not harm you. I wonder if your lord is interested?"

"How can this deal in the rivers and lakes benefit the old man? I don't know how you persuaded Steward Lu, but it is not so easy to persuade the old man." Lu Xiu was unmoved.

"I know that Lu Xiang is not someone who is easily persuaded, so please read this first." Wu Yuanhan said and handed over a post.

Lu Xiu took the post in doubt, opened it and read it.Lu Xiu looked at it very seriously, while Wu Yuanhan and Nightingale were also very calm, as if they had already made up their minds.Looking at Lu Xiu again, it was hard to hide a trace of solemnity on his face.

After a long time, Lu Xiu slowly put down the post in his hand, raised his head and asked calmly, "Are all the words on this paper true?"

"If my lord has no bottom in his heart, I'm afraid he would have kicked us out a long time ago." Wu Yuanhan said with a smile.

"This......"

"My lord, this is an easy task for you. After the task is completed, not only will you get a priceless treasure, but the Eastern Chamber of Commerce will also reward you. Moreover, the revenge of He Zhizhou back then can also be reported. Mingzhou The sea transportation is developed, isn’t the annual profit exciting?”

"Hmph, the truth is that he is under one person and above ten thousand people. What can a mere blank sheet of paper explain?" Lu Xiu sneered.

"Master Lu's worry is justified, so here is another post, please review it." Wu Yuanhan said and handed over another post.

This time, Lu Xiu accepted the post with doubts on his face. After reading it for a while, he couldn't say a word, but from his expression, he seemed to be much less vigilant.

"Lord Lu, everything has been explained in these two posts. It is inconvenient for me to say anything more. Please think twice before I leave." Wu Yuanhan saluted and retreated towards the door.

"Farewell." Nightingale next to her also nodded slightly, and retreated outside the door.

"You..." Lu Xiu hesitated.

"Master, this..."

"Director Lu, let's see off the guests..." Lu Xiu finally waved his hand.

"Yes, sir."

......

Liu's Mansion is located in Yongningfang, which is considered a quiet place in Chang'an City.On this day, Mu Changlan and Murong Yanyun both came to the gate of the mansion, looking at the Liu Mansion, which is much more simple and simple than the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Changlan couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Are you sure you put Miss Yuxi in the inn?"

"I'm sure...she's really tired these days and needs to take a good rest. Besides...this is my own destiny, and I don't want her to share too much."

"Ok."

"This... is this the residence of Dali Siqing?" Mu Changlan looked at the simple residence and asked.

Looking at the monotonous gate of the mansion, Murong Yanyun smiled lightly, and said: "Master Liu has always been diligent and thrifty, this mansion was built for him because the emperor really couldn't see it."

"Ah... what a diligent and thrifty official!" Mu Changlan was in awe.

"You know Mr. Liu was the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty when he was young." Murong Yanyun laughed.

Mu Changlan smiled and said: "I know this, maybe it is only those who are talented and virtuous who can be in charge of Dali Temple."

Murong Yanyun glanced lightly at the plaque on the door, and said calmly: "Let's go, if you have any questions, I believe Master Liu will give you an answer."

"Ah."

After the two walked up the steps, the doorman greeted them and asked, "Are you two busy?"

Murong Yanyun replied politely: "You two brothers, please tell Mr. Liu that Murong Yanyun is asking to see you."

As soon as these words came out, the two guards looked at each other in dismay, showing surprise at the same time, obviously already shocked by the visitor.

"Mur... Mr. Murong?"

"You are Mr. Murong?"

Murong Yanyun smiled lightly, and replied: "I'm the one here, I'd like to thank you two little brothers to inform me."

"Okay, okay, young master, wait a moment!" The guard was overjoyed, as if completely ignoring Mu Changlan next to Murong Yanyun.

"It seems that Mr. Murong is famous far and wide." Mu Changlan laughed, not annoyed that she was ignored.

Murong Yanyun raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: "This may not be a good thing."

"Yeah...you know people everywhere you go...it's not free at all..." Mu Changlan murmured.

Not long after, the door of Liu's residence opened, and the guard said with a smile: "Please hurry up, both of you, Mr. Liu is in the study."

"Thank you two little brothers."

"Where is it, please come inside." The guard's brows and eyes were full of smiles.

The Liu residence is indeed not big. Although the official position of Dali Siqing is not as good as the prime minister, he is still an important minister of the court. Such a simple house is completely inconsistent with the status of Mr. Liu. Mu Changlan once again felt a little admiration in her heart.Although Liu's mansion is small, it is simple and elegant, with green turquoise and green stones, wooden candlesticks, and it does not have the vulgar and luxurious atmosphere of Xiang's mansion at all.

"The two of you are here."

Turning around the front hall, everyone came to a small garden.The garden here is very ordinary, with some common small flowers growing on it.But what surprised Mu Changlan was that there was a vegetable garden next to this garden, with a piece of green vegetables planted on it, and beside it were wells, wooden barrels, poles, and tillage tools for farming, just like an ordinary farm vegetable garden.

"Master Liu... is really... different..." Mu Changlan turned pale with shock.

"Master Liu is really leisurely and elegant." Murong Yanyun said loudly to the wooden house to the east.

Mu Changlan next to her was taken aback again, startled by Murong Yanyun's unusual greeting.

"Hahahaha..." An old man's voice came from the wooden house: "I don't know what kind of wind brought Mr. Murong to the humble house today, but I don't know if the general is here too?"

Just as Mu Changlan was surprised, an old man in gray came out of the wooden house. Although the old man was already old, it was not difficult to see the handsome demeanor of his youth under the wrinkles, and he couldn't hide it. The awe-inspiring righteousness of his whole body.

"Lord Liu." Murong Yanyun bowed gracefully, dressed in white, facing the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

The old man returned a salute with a smile, and said, "The girl next to Mr. Murong is..."

Mu Changlan hastily bowed respectfully, and said: "The daughter of the people, Mu Changlan, has met Lord Liu..."

"This Miss Mu Changlan is my friend." Murong Yanyun also said.

"Oh, okay..." The old man returned a salute.

"My lord, women don't dare..." Mu Changlan was really startled when she saw that the minister of Dali Temple returned the salute to herself, a commoner.

"Hahahaha, here, there is no distinction between high and low, please come in, both of you." The old man laughed loudly while twisting his beard.

After entering the wooden house, Mu Changlan looked around. It was a study room with wooden bookshelves everywhere. Fortunately, the wooden house was large enough to place tables and chairs in the central area.

After the two parties settled down, the old man spoke first: "I heard that the young master and the general went to Miss Lu's birthday party together. I only saw the young master coming today. I don't know where the general is?"

"Go back to Master Liu, my sister has returned to Luoyang first, she still can't leave Tiance's side." Murong Yanyun replied politely.

"Oh, the general is really a busy man." The old man sighed, with a hint of disappointment hidden in his tone, but he immediately changed his subject and said, "Then what is the matter that the young master came to the door today?"

"It's for this friend." Murong Yanyun replied.

"Oh?" The old man turned his puzzled eyes to Mu Changlan.

"Hmm..." Facing this wise Lord Liu Jinyuan, Mu Changlan's throat felt a little dry: "Master Liu... um... the girl has something to ask. …”

"But it doesn't matter." The old man smiled while twisting his beard.

"Miss Mu, it's okay to say something, there are no outsiders here." Murong Yanyun also laughed.

Mu Changlan regained her composure, and said, "Master Liu, the girl has something to ask. I wonder if you have heard of an ancient sacred object called Ziyue Lingtai."

As soon as these words came out, Murong Yanyun raised his eyebrows first: "Ziyue Lingtai?"

"Ziyue Lingtai?" The old man asked doubtfully with his beard.

"Yes, Ziyue Lingtai, do you two know about it?" Mu Changlan looked at them expectantly.

Murong Yanyun closed his eyes and remained silent, as if he was deep in thought, while the old man had a serious expression on his face. Perhaps for ordinary people, sacred objects are ultimately out of reach.

After an unknown amount of time, Murong Yanyun opened his deep black eyes, and at the same time, the old man's face softened a little, and the two men looked at each other, as if they had a clear understanding.

"Two?"

"Luo Wentian." The two men said the name in unison.

"Luo Wentian?" Mu Changlan was confused.

"Miss, this old man knows a thing or two about ghosts and ghosts. Although I am not ignorant of the so-called sacred objects in the world, I have never heard of the Ziyue Lingtai that the young lady mentioned."

"Then Luo Wentian..."

"Luo Wentian is the son of Luo Quanyi from the Western Region, and he loves the matter of gods and ghosts. He may know the mystery of the Ziyue Lingtai." The old man said.

"Then Master Liu, do you still have the heart of the phoenix?"

"In the past, a poor elder, the former head of Shushan Mountain, got a phoenix egg. It was the only thing about the phoenix that the old man knew, and that phoenix egg was also used to save the Nanzhao saint, that is, the poor elder. Ma'am, from now on, the old man has never heard any stories about the phoenix."

"Where should the girl go to find this Mr. Luo?" Mu Changlan asked slightly disappointed.

"He is in Chang'an City."

"what?!"

"Luo Wentian came to Chang'an?" Murong Yanyun also raised his eyebrows.

"Young Master Luo came to Beijing this time to discuss Buddhism with Master Xuankong, the abbot of Ci'en Temple. A few days ago, he also visited the old man to ask about the Heavenly Snake Staff."

"Heavenly Snake Staff? Isn't that the Nanzhao Princess Zhao's? I heard that this object has been properly kept by the Wuyue Temple, and it is a national treasure of the Nanzhao Kingdom. Why did Luo Wentian ask this?" Murong Yanyun asked calmly .

"You also know that he likes things about gods and ghosts. How could he not want to know about this Nuwa's thing?" The old man smiled with his beard, turned his head and said to Mu Changlan: "Girl, this Ziyue Lingtai is either Ask Shushan, or you can ask this young master Luo. There are a lot of these gods and demons in his family, maybe he can answer the girl's question."

"Then I must visit this Mr. Luo." Mu Changlan's eyes lit up.

"Actually Miss Mu, the old man has a question."

"Master Liu, please tell me." Mu Changlan was taken aback.

The old man took a sip of his tea and said slowly, "Why don't you go to Shushan to ask about these things?"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Changlan felt a pain in her heart, Shushan, the place that will always make her sad.Although it might be more convenient to inquire about Ziyue Lingtai from people in Shushan, but for some reason, I still don't want to step into the gate of Shushan again, and I really don't want to go to Shushan until the last resort.

"Young lady doesn't want to say more, that's up to you, since Young Master Luo is in the capital, you can ask him first."

"Okay, I'll go and ask Mr. Luo first." Mu Changlan said gratefully.

At this moment, Murong Yanyun, who was standing next to him, said, "I heard that the Luo family in the Western Regions is searching for things about the ancient Nine Springs. This time Luo Wentian came to Beijing, maybe he also has the same intention."

"Ah... yes, Young Master Luo also asked the old man about Jiuquan a few days ago, but the old man didn't know anything about it."

In this short speech, terms such as "Ziyue Lingtai", "Phoenix Heart", "Heavenly Snake Staff" and "Ancient Nine Springs" were introduced at the same time. Mu Changlan felt a little dizzy when she heard it. These ghosts and ghosts are too mysterious for mortals up.

"How does this Western Region Luo family compare to Shangguan's family?" Mu Changlan asked in order to change the subject.

"That would be absolutely inferior. Shangguan is one of the four great aristocratic families, so it is not comparable to the Luo family. Moreover, the Luo family is far away from the Western Regions in Yinghui Fort, so it is powerless to influence the entire Western Regions." The old man replied.

Murong Yanyun smiled lightly, and said: "The Shangguan family has great achievements, and the Luo family is really far behind."

"Then Master Liu, dare to ask where this Mr. Luo is in the capital now?"

"Since he came here for Master Xuankong in name, he must live in the Temple of Mercy." The old man thought while twisting his beard.

At this time, Mu Changlan felt a little regret in her heart, but at least she had a new goal. As long as she followed her heart's wishes, there would always be hope. "There is always hope" It was his words in the past that supported her all the way to the present.

"Thank you Master Liu, the girl knows what to do." Mu Changlan bowed respectfully.

"Girl, forgive me, I can only help you so much."

"What my lord said today, the daughters of the people are already very grateful."

"I also thank Master Liu." Murong Yanyun who was beside him also bowed.

"You two don't need to be too polite, this is what this old man should do." After quickly returning the gift, the old man said: "Mr. Murong, you and this old man may not have seen each other for a long time, but it's rare that Miss Mu is here today. I dare to ask you and Miss Mu to stay. How about a light meal next?"

"Where is it, Lord Liu is so kind to invite you, how dare I refuse." Murong Yanyun replied politely.

"My daughter, thank you, Master Liu."

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, if that's the case, then please sit in the backyard for a while."

......

Chang'an is still brightly lit in the night, it is not hard to imagine the bustling Chengdu of the imperial capital, the brilliant lights illuminate many places as if they were daytime.This night, Murong Yanyun returned to the room unhurriedly, but there was already a woman in blue waiting for him for a long time.

"My lord, you are back." The woman in blue smiled between her brows and her eyes.

"Shuangling?" Murong Yanyun smiled slightly.

"My lord, are you going to Liu's residence for a whole day?" Shuang Ling complained, pouted.

"Just tell me why you came here." Murong Yanyun ignored the other party's coquettishness.

"Here, here!" Shuangling took out an envelope from the bag.

Murong Yanyun took the envelope lazily, glanced at the cover from the corner of his eyes, and said calmly: "My sister has already returned to Luoyang, and the speed is quite fast, but she seems to write letters faster."

"Miss tells you to go back!" Seeing that Murong Yanyun seemed indifferent, Shuang Ling couldn't help but shouted.

Murong Yanyun glanced at the letter and sighed softly: "It seems that this Chang'an really can't stay any longer, huh?"

"My lord! Why do you insist on staying in Chang'an? There are so many things going on in Luoyang." Shuang Ling wondered.

Murong Yanyun held the letter in his hand for a long time and couldn't put it down. He never thought that his trip to Chang'an would end so soon, and all this happened so quickly that there was no time to say goodbye to her.

"Master?" Shuangling called out again.

Murong Yanyun remained silent.

"My son, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Murong Yanyun was still standing there for a long time, closing his eyes and not speaking, Shuang Ling was a little uneasy, and hurriedly called out again.But Murong Yanyun didn't say a word as if he had been petrified.Shuang Ling actually knew that he looked like this when he was meditating, but he didn't know what he was thinking so obsessively at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Murong Yanyun slowly walked to the window, looking at the magnificent night view of Chang'an, he couldn't calm down for a long time.The lights of Chang'an kept flickering in his black eyes, and there was no expression on his face as delicate as white jade.

"Frost Ling..."

"Hey! Young Master!" Seeing that Murong Yanyun finally spoke, Shuang Ling was ecstatic.

"Do you still remember the sword tasting conference in the past?"

"Remember." Shuangling replied decisively.

"Miss Mu has also come to Chang'an."

When Shuang Ling heard this, his mouth opened wide: "My lord! Is this why you stayed in Chang'an?"

Murong Yanyun quietly looked at the night scene outside the window and did not answer.

"My lord! At the Sword Tasting Conference, you risked your life to save her, but you frightened the eldest lady! Now you are delaying and refusing to return to Luoyang because of her, forcing the eldest lady to call Shuangling to deliver the letter. My lord, Shuangling is not a fool. You like that woman named Mu, right?"

Hearing this, Murong Yanyun was still very calm, quietly looking out of the window with a watery complexion.

"My lord, she... She is just a mortal girl after all! She is a commoner! As the young master of the Murong family, do you want to..."

"Frost Ling."

Seeing that Shuangling immediately shut up, Murong Yanyun said calmly: "Sometimes, some things are not what you and sister think."

"But son!"

Murong Yanyun slightly raised his head, a yellow light flashed in his eyes: "Qin Se Yong He..."

"Sir..."

"I will return to Luoyang tomorrow."

"Then young master, what was your order before you left?" Shuang Ling immediately asked wisely.

Murong Yanyun put his hands behind his back, like a king looking at the world through the window, the words in his mouth were still calm: "Miss Tomorrow Mu will go around to find a man named Luo Wentian, tell her that Luo Wentian is in Ci'en Temple .”

"My lord, is that all?" Shuang Ling smiled.

"That's all, you can go back to Luoyang after finishing."

Shuangling nodded slightly, but asked again: "My lord, why don't you tell her yourself tomorrow? It's not too late to leave after you tell her."

"Shuang Ling, you talked too much today..."

Shuang Ling smiled "hee hee" and said, "Young master, don't worry, Shuang Ling understands."

......

On the Chang'an Ancient Road, two people and two horses were walking side by side. This is another narrow path different from the official road. On this deserted road, the two riders seemed even more lonely.

"Master Wu, why are you so sure that Luo Wentian must know the so-called Ziyue Lingtai? Rather than going through so much trouble, it's better to let me kill her when I was in Hexi!" On the left, a woman in black squinted. With red eyes, he said coldly.

"Nightingale, do you still want to repeat the mistakes of Huangfu's mansion? What's the difference between killing in front of Shangguan's family and killing in front of Huangfu's family? Besides, how can Lan Ying be killed by a surprise attack in the wild?" ? The old man admits that her martial arts are not as good as yours, but you also saw at the sword tasting conference that her lightness kung fu is not inferior to yours."

"Then what does this have to do with Ziyue Lingtai? Are you so sure that Luo Wentian knows about this?"

"The old man is not sure." The man in the gray shirt on the right looked a little impatient.

"Then why are you still looking for him?" the woman in black said slightly dissatisfied.

"Because Lan Ying will definitely look for him." The gray-shirted man replied.

"Ziyue Lingtai...what the hell is this thing...why is she so persistent...you must find this thing that may not exist at all..." The woman in black murmured.

The gray-shirted man looked at the looming Chang'an city wall in the distance, and said softly: "Since we have arranged everything in Luoyang, we must not fail this time in Chang'an. As for what Lan Ying is looking for, we will know in due course. "

The woman in black nodded slightly, and resentfully said: "The last time I was hindered by Huangfu Zhuo at Huangfu's house, this time she is not so lucky! She disappeared for several months after the sword tasting meeting, luckily found her in Hexi Her traces, this time, we must not take advantage of her!"

"Hope you can do it."

"However, having said that, there is still one thing that cannot be determined." The woman in black said suddenly.

"Which one?"

"Nine springs."

"Oh?"

"Why are we so sure that Luo Wentian will let her find the matter of Jiuquan? Also, what if she leaves Chang'an in order to find Jiuquan?"

The man in the gray shirt smiled "hehe" and said with his beard: "This is the purpose of our trip. We need to persuade Luo Wentian to let Lan Ying go to find Jiuquan, so that this book can come in handy." He took out an old-looking yellow book from his sleeve.

"So that's why you went to Luoyang?" The woman in black squinted her eyes, and then the red light in her eyes flickered.

"Speaking of Jiuquan... According to legend, this is a product of Shennong. I don't know why Luo Wentian is looking for it so hard." The woman in black continued.

"It has nothing to do with us." The gray-shirted man's answer was still very straightforward.

The woman in black snorted dissatisfiedly, and said quietly: "I hope your plan this time can be foolproof."

"Don't worry, drive!" The man in gray shirt sneered and galloped away, and the woman in black followed quickly.

......

Mu Changlan learned of Murong Yanyun's departure in the early morning of the 21st, and also knew that Luo Wentian was at Ci'en Temple.Looking at the unsigned letter on the table, Mu Changlan had mixed feelings in her heart.He just left without saying goodbye to himself.In just a few days, we met again in this city of Chang'an, but you left in such a hurry, it's really unfulfilling.It seems that your figure is like a sail after all. No matter how many times the river of my eyes wants to keep you, it is impossible. The word "love" is the most rare and difficult thing in the world.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Mu Yuxi called out.

Mu Changlan blinked her moist eyes, and said calmly, "Luo Wentian is at the Temple of Mercy."

"Then shall we go find him now?"

Mu Changlan lowered her head and stared at the sentence on the letter, "Luo Wentian is at the Temple of Mercy". How should I pay it back?

"Yes, let's go to the Mercy Temple immediately."

Da Ci'en Temple is one of the four major scripture translation sites in Chang'an, and it is also the ancestral home of the Dharma Sect of Buddhism. It was founded in the 22nd year of Zhenguan.When Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi was the prince, he built it in memory of his mother, Empress Wende. The famous master Xuanzang translated ancient Indian Buddhist scriptures here. Today, this large temple in the south of the city has become the most important temple in Chang'an City. one of them.Looking at the towering Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the temple, Mu Changlan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Since Ci'en Temple is a great temple in Chang'an, there is always an endless stream of pilgrims, Mu Changlan looked around and went in with the flow of people, but she had to ask around to find Luo Wentian's location.

"Master, may I ask if there is a benefactor named Luo Wentian in this temple?" Mu Changlan asked a monk dressed like an eminent monk.

"What does this female benefactor want to do with Luo benefactor?" The monk asked back.

"I'm his friend." Mu Changlan saluted.

"Sponsor Luo is in a small courtyard to the north of Yanta Square, benefactor, please help yourself." The monk nodded.

"Thank you master." Mu Changlan saluted again.

The Wild Goose Pagoda Square is easy to find. After all, no matter where you go, you can always see the towering spire of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. You only need to walk in the direction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Yanta Square is not big, and it is not considered a square in the strict sense. It is said that Master Xuanzang once gave lectures here. Because of this, there is an endless stream of people who come to Ci'en Temple, even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. , on the north side of the pagoda, there is indeed an exquisite courtyard, presumably it is Luo Wentian's residence.

"Who are you two, what are you doing here?" the guard asked.

"Brother, we have been recommended by Master Liu, Dali Temple Minister, to come here to see Young Master Luo." Mu Changlan saluted.

"Oh...then this way please..."

This courtyard is not big, but it is very delicate. There are only three huts. There are flowers and trees outside the house, and the unique tranquility of Buddhist temples is everywhere. Mu Changlan can't help but sigh, if it is her, she must also choose to live here.

"Young Master Luo, there is a guest asking to see you." The guard said outside the largest wooden house.

"Please." A lazy voice came from inside the house.

"Both please."

"Brother Lao is here."

After the door opened, Mu Changlan walked in with Mu Yuxi, and saw a young man dressed as a businessman from the Western Regions sitting lazily in an old man's chair, his rather young and shrewd face was full of exhaustion, I guess I stayed up all night last night.

"Who are you two? Why are you looking for Luo?" The young man asked lazily.

Mu Changlan looked at his red attire, red cloth clothes, red turban, red cloth boots, red belt, just like a businessman's attire.

"Mingzhou Mu Changlan and her younger sister Mu Yuxi met Young Master Luo." Mu Changlan saluted.

"Oh, the person Mr. Liu mentioned is you." The young man narrowed his eyes, and also sized up Mu Changlan and Mu Yuxi, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Luo knew we were coming?" Mu Changlan was startled.

The young man smiled "haha", raised his right hand, and made a gesture of "please sit down". Mu Changlan quickly sat obediently on the chair next to her, waiting for the other party to speak.

"Luo not only knows that Miss Mu will come, but also why Miss Mu is here." The young man said proudly.

Hearing this, Mu Changlan was both surprised and happy, Ziyue Lingtai seemed to be in front of her eyes, so she quickly stood up and cupped her hands and said, "Please enlighten me, Young Master Luo."

"Sit, sit, sit down first." Seeing that Mu Changlan was so excited, the young man waved his hands quickly.

After Mu Changlan sat down, the young man said, "Since the girl is here for Ziyue Lingtai, Luo does know some news about it."

"Master Luo!"

"Girl, don't worry, just listen to Luo Mou finish."

"!"

The young man smiled and said: "It's not difficult for the girl to know the news about Ziyue Lingtai. This object was given by the ancient Xihuang to his daughter Luoshen. It is an ancient sacred object. It is not easy for ordinary people to find this object, so Luo I'd better advise the girl to give up this idea."

Mu Changlan smiled faintly, shook her head and said, "Young Master Luo's kindness, I appreciate it, but I must find this Ziyue Lingtai."

The young man smiled "hehe" and said, "Okay, since the girl is determined, Luo can't say anything, but if the girl wants to know the knowledge of Ziyue Lingtai, she needs the same knowledge in exchange."

Mu Changlan's heart was startled, and her heart immediately sank, the things needed for the exchange must not be simple, but the matter has come to this point, and she can't care about much, so she asked a little nervously: "What does Young Master Luo need? "

"The Hot Sea of ​​Nine Springs."

Mu Changlan had a big head, which was really unheard of. It was the first time I heard the word "Nine Springs" in the Liu Mansion, but I had no idea what it was.

"This..." Mu Changlan looked confused.

The young man smiled and said, "It's fair to exchange the holy things for the holy things, and exchange the things of Shennong for the things of Fuxi."

"Can I use Nuwa's stuff..." Mu Changlan asked helplessly.

"Hahahaha..." The young man looked up to the sky and smiled: "The Heavenly Snake Staff belonged to the former Nanzhao princess, and it is now hidden in the Wuyue Temple in Nanjiang. People are not allowed to use this thing, even if Luo got it, it would be useless, so Luo has given up the idea of ​​getting it."

"It seems... I have no choice..." Mu Changlan smiled wryly.

"Miss Mu, it's normal that you haven't heard of this Jiuquan. How many people in the world don't know about it. There is very little information about Jiuquan. Luo also learned a thing or two by searching ancient books."

"I also ask Young Master Luo to enlighten me, so that I can find it with less worry..."

The young man stood up, paced back and forth, and said in a slightly proud tone: "The Nine Springs have a lot of background. It is said that when Shennong, one of the three ancient emperors, was born, the world was born with the Nine Springs. The well is the source of all things, and the nine springs are covered by all things, and the world can be peaceful. Later, when the gods, beasts, and humans fought against each other, in order to prevent the nine springs from being damaged, Shennong took the spiritual objects of heaven and earth to make the nine spring key rings to seal them. And management corresponds to the spring. Now that the years have passed, I am afraid that the world has long forgotten these past events. This spring was born because of Shennong, so it is called Shennong Jiuquan."

Mu Changlan was already surprised when she heard this, the things in the world are really not something a mortal like herself can comprehend.

"Brother Luo, are there nine springs?" Mu Yuxi asked suddenly.

The young man started to count with his fingers: "Zhaodan, Hansui, Hot Sea, Wugou, Wuhun, Chunzi, Yanbo, Poisonous Miasma, and Longtan are the Nine Springs of Shennong."

"Since there are nine springs, why is Young Master Luo only interested in Atami?" Mu Changlan asked in surprise.

"I don't need to worry about this, the girl." The young man said simply.

Seeing that the other party refused to speak out, Mu Changlan changed her mind and said, "Then Master Luo asked me to find Atami. Is it about Atami? The location of Atami's spring? Or Atami's key ring?"

"Miss Mu is really smart, I need all three." The young man praised.

"Then how do I change it?"

"The girl will exchange the same thing. For example, if the girl finds the knowledge about Atami, Luo will definitely tell the girl about the Ziyue Lingtai. If the girl finds the location of Atami, then Luo will also sell the Ziyue Lingtai. Tell the girl where you are."

"It seems that I have no choice..."

"One thing for one thing."

Mu Changlan has nothing to do at this time, indeed, there is no free news in the world, didn't she have to charge money for inquiring about news back then?Not to mention this.

"Okay, if there is anything related to Atami, I will immediately tell Young Master Luo, but I don't know how big the world is, how can I find Young Master Luo?"

"Okay, since the girl has agreed, it will be easy. During this period, Luo will try to collect information about Ziyue Lingtai. Seeing that Luo's time in Chang'an is coming to an end, Luo will leave Chang'an in four days. In the future, the girl can go directly to Yinghui Castle in the Western Regions to find Luo, and I believe my father will entertain the girl well."

"Okay, then it's settled." Mu Changlan nodded and said.

"Happy cooperation." The young man was also very happy.

After Mu Changlan and Mu Yuxi left, Luo Wentian gently closed the door, turned around and walked to the wooden table, looked up to the sky and sighed softly: "Rehai... Ziyue Lingtai... this But they are all reborn things...the destiny, this is the destiny..."

......

"Sister, we haven't even found the Ziyue Lingtai yet, and now we have to find Atami, this task is much heavier!" On the way back, Mu Yu sighed.

"That's right, the Ziyue Lingtai is not finished, there is still the heart of the phoenix. It's so hard to find one fetish, let alone two." Mu Changlan also looked worried.

At the mention of "Phoenix Heart", Mu Yuxi's face darkened, and she stopped talking.

"Young Master Luo will leave Beijing in four days. During these four days, we can find Atami's story in Chang'an."

"Hey, it's a pity that Mr. Murong is gone, otherwise you can ask him."

When "Mr. Murong" was mentioned, Mu Changlan's heart sank, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She really hoped that he was here, but her reason told her that he also had his affairs, and he had to go back to Luoyang.

......

Chang'an at night is very beautiful. Looking from a high place, you can see most of the bustling night scene. At this time, on the top of an inn in Shengpingfang, a woman in black is sitting alone on a tile. However, the terrain is relatively high, and you can see most of the southeast scenery from the roof.

The lights in Chang'an covered most of the starlight in the sky, so the starry sky here is naturally no better than outside. Perhaps the prosperity of the imperial capital can cover up all these dissatisfaction.

The woman in black sat with her knees hugged, a pair of high-heeled boots kicked the tiles of the roof from time to time, making a series of crisp "clicks".

"The starry sky here is not as beautiful as Siming Mountain..." The woman in black squinted her eyes, and said with some worry, the lights of Chang'an danced in his eyes.

"This is not the place to look up at the stars."

At some point, a man in gray shirt was standing behind the woman in black. Seeing the woman in black, he felt it, so he added this sentence.

As soon as the night wind passed, the woman in black's beautiful long hair rose with the wind. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she showed a different elegance.

"Do you think Qianshan would like the night sky?" the woman in black murmured.

"I won't like it." The man in gray shirt said simply.

The woman in black curled her lips and muttered, "It's really boring."

The man in the gray shirt gave a wry smile and said, "Are you ready?"

"Master Wu, until now you have refused to tell me all the plans, but instead asked me if I was ready?"

"There are some things you don't need to know all about."

"I just want a fair fight with her."

The man in the gray shirt didn't answer the question, but changed his subject and said, "Lan Ying is not an idle person. After experiencing the failure last time, I believe she will be more cautious this time."

"If it wasn't for Huangfu Zhuo last time..."

"Then this
