"Shadow Nine—!"

Nangong Ren suddenly opened his eyes and was covered in cold sweat in shock.

Ying San, who was one of the bodyguards, immediately appeared and knelt on one knee when he heard his master's exclamation.

"Owner……"

Ying San was puzzled, did the master have a nightmare, but why did the master call Ying Jiu's name in the dream?

Nangong Ren was still in doubt, his heart was pounding in his chest, he looked around in a little confusion, and found that he was in his bed.The sky was bright outside, and there were occasional crisp bird calls. There were no raging red flames, no rivers of blood from corpses flowing into rivers, and what could be smelled in his nostrils was the unique scent of sandalwood in his sleeping room, not Bloody and burnt.

Is it a dream?The Qiongtian Palace was destroyed, and all his subordinates were sacrificed. Is it just his Nanke Yimeng?No, the too real experience told Nangong Ren that it was not a dream, but something he had really experienced. Even every time he thought of the Qiongtian Temple in the flames, it would touch his heartstrings and make his heart ache. This is definitely not a dream !

So is this a dream now?Is it a sweet dream he made out of unwillingness?

Nangong Ren's hand under the quilt quietly twisted himself. Although this action was stupid, it was the only way to prove that he was not dreaming.

The dull pain in his thigh made Nangong Ren ecstatic. He kept his face and confirmed his thoughts to the kneeling Yingsan.

"What year is it now?"

"Return to the master, the fifth year of Yongzheng, the third day of March."

If it wasn't inappropriate, Nangong Ren really wanted to laugh up to the sky to express the joy in his heart. It's true that God will not kill him, he was really reborn!

However, Nangong Ren immediately became extremely happy and sad. At this time, he had already enshrined Jing Xiao as a guest, and rumors about him and Jing Xiao were circulating everywhere in the Qiongtian Temple. Nangong Ren didn't know where the source of this rumor was. He had a good impression of Jing Xiao, so he ignored the unrealistic rumors, and in this life, he made up his mind never to let the rumors continue.

There is also Ying Jiu, the person who stood up to protect him time and time again in the previous life. If he remembers correctly, Ying Jiu is no longer his personal bodyguard at this time. It is his own order to abandon people. Wei was abandoned by his master, the consequences can be imagined.

Nangong Ren slapped himself hard in his heart, and even blamed God for not allowing him to be reborn two years earlier since he was reborn. , asking for anything else would be unreasonable trouble, at least he will have a chance to make up for it after a new life!

Nangong Ren hastily went down to the ground and called the servant girl to wait for him to wash and dress him. The servant girl had been waiting for a long time with the washing utensils, and at this time, upon hearing the order from the palace master, the maid immediately filed in one by one.

Nangong Ren was in a hurry to find Ying Jiu, but suddenly remembered that after he gave the order back then, he didn't know where his subordinates arranged Ying Jiu.

"Where is Shadow Seven?"

He remembered that when Ying Jiu was his bodyguard, she seemed to have a good relationship with Ying Qi. Nangong Ren asked Ying San on the ground while cooperating with the servant girl.

"Returning to the master, Ying Qi is not on duty today, and should be resting at the residence."

"Go and call Ying Qi to me."

"Yes."

After Nangong Ren dressed neatly and finished washing, Ying San also came back soon, but Ying Qi was not in his residence, so Ying San fled to nothing. As for where Ying Qi went, Ying San did not know, after all, Ying Wei was there Movement is free when not on duty.

Nangong Ren's face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and the whole body seemed to be dripping with coldness. Ying San, who was kneeling beside him, couldn't help shivering. Possibility of venting anger on people.

But this time Nangong Ren did not vent his anger on Yingsan, but thought for a moment and said: "Let Qianying come to see me immediately!"

Qianying is the master of the gate of death, that is, the leader of the shadow guards in the gate of death.

Ying San led the order to leave again, this time he was lucky enough to bring the sect master before the master, and fortunately the sect master did not go out, otherwise he might really have to bear the master's thunderous wrath.

"Qianying has seen the Palace Master."

Qianying was dressed in a long black dress, with a gloomy and stable personality. She wore a black mask to cover her mouth and nose all the year round. Even Nangong Ren had rarely seen Qianying's full view.

"Get up, do you still remember Yingjiu, the personal bodyguard back then?"

"My subordinates remember."

Qianying does not have a good memory like the Hall Master. One of the prerequisites for a shadow guard is to have a good memory, especially Qianying will not forget the people and things in the gate of death. What to do with an abandoned shadow guard.

Nangong Ren was slightly pleased: "Do you know where he is?"

"I know, Ying Jiu's residence was arranged by his subordinates back then."

Yingjiu's mistake deserves death, but the palace master didn't order the execution, he only said to let Guan Yingjiu take a good look at him, so Qianying arranged him in a remote place in the Qiongtian Temple.

"Take me there quickly."

"Yes."

Although she didn't know what the main hall was doing, Qianying respectfully led Nangong Ren to Yingjiu's residence.

Nangong Ren secretly felt guilty. The Qiongtian Temple is not big, but it is not small. Some places Nangong Ren may not have been to all, or he has forgotten once or twice. For example, this place, if not for Qianying Leading the way, Nangong Ren didn't even know where he was.

Arriving at the place, the surroundings are desolate, the houses are dilapidated, and the big trees block the sun from the sun, which adds a bit of coldness to this place. Even if it is already summer, you can feel the coolness to the bones. Nangong Ren feels sad for a while, I can't wait to hug Ying Jiu into the warm blanket and keep warm.

When Nangong Ren stepped into the courtyard door and was about to rush in, he saw Ying Qi and Ying Jiu sitting at the table talking something in the open door. Nan Gong Ren stopped and signaled Qian Ying behind him to be quiet.

He didn't intentionally want to eavesdrop on anything, he just wanted to know what Ying Jiu would say, and wanted to learn more about Ying Jiu.

People who practice martial arts have sharp eyes and ears, and they can hear the conversation between two people in the room even if they are far away.

I saw Ying Qi pushing something wrapped in oil paper to Ying Jiu: "Eat it while it's hot."

The tangy aroma of roasted chicken made Yingjiu know what it was without using his hands.

"Ying Qi, don't give me anything after you've said it, I have something to eat."

"I know what you are worried about. I am afraid that the master will punish me if he finds out? Don't worry, I came here during the shift break, and no one will pay attention."

Since being abandoned here, Yingjiu has not been doing well. The Qiongtian Palace seems to have completely forgotten him, who was once one of the personal guards of the palace master, and abandoned him in a remote corner without asking him. He only eats three meals a day. I can eat some leftovers, and sometimes I even can't even eat when I encounter deliberately making things difficult.

After this matter was accidentally bumped into by Ying Qi, Ying Qi brought him food and daily necessities every day, which made Ying Jiu not only worried, but also very sorry, because he was afraid of his guilty body One day the other party was implicated.

Knowing that Ying Qi couldn't be persuaded, Ying Jiu sighed helplessly and said: "From now on, just bring me some buns, don't waste any more money."

"Okay, I see. If you want to eat meat every now and then, I'm afraid I can't afford you."

The two immediately smiled, and Ying Jiu fumbled to tear off a chicken leg and handed it to Ying Qi: "You can eat some too."

Just as Ying Qi was about to reach out to pick it up, someone suddenly stepped into the room. When Ying Qi saw who it was, he immediately knelt down in a panic and saluted: "This subordinate has seen the master!"

The chicken leg in Yingjiu's hand fell to the ground, and the sound was extremely loud in the quiet room at this moment. Yingjiu then knelt down and felt uneasy. He didn't know what the master was going to do here suddenly, but he found out. Yingqi has been helping him to come to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, or has he finally remembered his mistakes and punished him?

The latter is fine, what should he do if the former?He himself is still a guilty body, so what qualifications does he have to intercede for Ying Qi.Later, if the master blames the big deal, he will take all the blame on himself, and try to give Ying Qi a chance to be punished lightly.

"Qianying, Yingqi, you two go out first."

Nangong Ren's eyes never moved away from Ying Jiu's body from the moment he entered the door.

"Yes." Qianying and Yingqi agreed in unison.

Before leaving, Ying Qi glanced at Ying Jiu uneasy, with worry written all over his face, but he also did not dare to disobey the master's order, so he had to go out with the door master.

After Ying Qi went out, Ying Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the master didn't come to question Ying Qi, but to punish him. Ying Jiu got nervous again, wondering how the master would punish him.

"Get up quickly."

A strong hand supported Ying Jiu when he was still thinking wildly, Ying Jiu was stunned for a moment, and stood up following the strength of his master.

Nangong Ren carefully observed Ying Jiu's eyes. The pair of big eyes that were supposed to be beautiful were dim and lifeless at the moment, and there was no light in them. When Ying Jiu was abandoned, Ying Jiu's eyes could still see clearly, even if Qian Ying met with her later. People used torture, Qianying would not dare to hurt the root of the shadow guard without his order, so who would dare to kill the shadow guard?How could Yingjiu be at the mercy of others with such high martial arts skills?

Nangong Ren said distressedly, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Return to the master... the master... the subordinate... the subordinate..."

Ying Jiu made a promise for a long time without saying a complete sentence, and finally knelt down to plead guilty: "Please Lord...Hall Master punish!"

Ying Jiu once again spurned herself in her heart because of her slip of the tongue. He is no longer the personal bodyguard of the hall master, and Ying Jiu's number no longer belongs to him. He is no longer qualified to call the hall master his master.

Ying Jiu's reaction was beyond Nangong Ren's expectation. He just asked a very ordinary question, and his tone was neither harsh nor irritable, so why did he scare people.

Nangong Ren helplessly helped him up again: "I'm not blaming you, don't be afraid."

Nangong Ren looked around the hut. There was only a small bed, an old table, and two stools in the dilapidated house. A piece of bamboo stick was leaning on the edge of the old table. Because it was often used by people, the surface of the bamboo stick was smooth and even. There is green peeling.

Seeing this bamboo stick, Nangong Ren's thoughts were instantly pulled back to his previous life. In his previous life, Ying Jiu used this bamboo stick to buy him time to survive. Nangong Ren's eyes suddenly softened a lot. Unfortunately, Ying Jiu couldn't see it, and the palace master didn't speak. It only made him more uneasy.

"Ying Jiu, would you like to go with me?"

Ying Jiu's face just showed a trace of confusion, let's go?where to goHe is already in the Qiongtian Palace, where does the Palace Master ask him to go with him?

"Go to my residence."

As if seeing Ying Jiu's confusion, Nangong Ren said another word, and immediately hugged Ying Jiu into his arms.

Ying Jiu was caught off guard, instinctively clasped his hands on the neck of the hall master, and immediately let go of his hands when he realized it, exclaiming: "Hall master!"

"Don't struggle, your eyes are inconvenient, I will carry you there."

After speaking, without waiting for Ying Jiu to resist, he strode out with the man in his arms. Ying Jiu nestled in the palace master's arms with a erratic expression, feeling that everything was like a dream.

Qianying used to have no superfluous expressions on his face. Even when he saw the palace master holding Ying Jiu, he didn't blink his eyelids. On the contrary, Ying Qi almost dropped his jaw when he saw this scene, and even pinched himself secretly. To make sure this is not a dream.
