Moonlight and wind

In front of the porch of Hanlin Mansion, a figure was looking curiously into the courtyard.

The servant on duty came out and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around outside the Hanlin Mansion?"

The figure pulled the servant to the wall outside the door, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and pressed it in the servant's hand, "Excuse me, please ask for someone." The figure and the servant looked around vigilantly.

"Tell me!" The servant took the silver and weighed it in his hand. "How is Zi Zhong in the mansion now?" Hearing Zi Zhong's name, the servant became more cautious, "Why are you asking about him? I haven't heard that there are any other people in his family."

"Young man, don't ask about other things. I just want to know how Zizhong is doing now?" "I can't tell you about what's happening in this mansion." The servant pushed the silver back.

"Take this, young man," the figure stuffed the silver back into his hand, "buy some tea. I won't make it difficult for you, just keep an eye on this house for me." "I'm sorry!" After saying that, the servant retreated to the porch and closed the door.

The figure had no choice but to stuff the silver back into his sleeve, lowered his head and left the Hanlin Mansion.

"Miss, the servants in the mansion are watching you closely and won't even let out any news." The figure was none other than Jian Yun, Yuwen Lin's personal attendant who was hired to replace Shan Boyu to investigate Zi Zhong's news. His martial arts ability had reached the level of Wuzong, and his strength was on par with Zi Yu.

"What should I do?" Yu Wenlin paced back and forth in the hall. "If I don't finish what Zimo asked me to do before he comes back, what should I do if he doesn't want to play with me anymore?"

"Don't worry, sir," Jian Yun comforted him, "If it doesn't work, break into the Hanlin Mansion tonight!"

"Come on," Yu Wenlin waved his hand, "It's not like Zimo hasn't been there before. It won't work, it won't work!"

"That servant can't trust a stranger, so why not ask Miss Qi for help?" Jianyun suggested. "Wouldn't that expose her?" Yuwenlin sat down on the chair, "Zimo must kill me!"

"Thank you very much!" As he was speaking, Xuanyue brought Zi Ling'er to the hall, "This knight is right, how about..." As he spoke, he took off the bracelet with only a few jade beads left from his wrist and handed it to Jianyun, who immediately took it with both hands, "Please run another trip for me tomorrow, maybe this bracelet can help you a little."

"Please rest assured, Miss. Jianyun will do his best!"

"I wonder if Miss Qu is used to living here?" Yuwen Lin smiled. "All is well, thank you, Master Yuwen." "Just stay here and wait for Zimo to come back, then we can discuss countermeasures." Qu Xuanyue nodded in agreement.

The next day, Jianyun came to the gate of Hanlin Mansion again. As soon as the servant saw him yesterday, he ran into the mansion.

"Young man, please wait a moment!" Jian Yun called softly from behind.

"I told you not to come again, why are you here again?" The servant looked around and quickly pulled Jianyun behind the stone lions at the door.

"Young man, please look!" Jian Yun said as he took out Xuan Yue's jade bracelet from his sleeve. When the bracelet was first revealed, the servant's eyes widened, and he quickly pressed the bracelet back into Jian Yun's hand, pulling him towards the wall of the back street.

Looking towards the gate of Hanlin Mansion, the servant became more alert and asked, "Excuse me, sir, where did that bracelet come from?"

"This is what your young lady gave me. I hope it can help me find out more about Zi Zhong."

"Miss, are you okay?" "Everything is fine, but I am worried about Zi Zhong. I wonder if you can tell me the news about Zi Zhong?" The servant looked around vigilantly again, "To be honest, sir, although Zi Zhong is now imprisoned, fortunately Uncle Gong is taking care of him. Everyone in the mansion is helping Zi Zhong, please rest assured, Miss!"

"That's good!" Jian Yun took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and tried to put it into the servant's hand. The servant waved his hand firmly and said, "Sir, there's no need for that! The young lady treats us servants like her family members. It's our duty to share her worries. I hope you can convey our feelings to her!"

After saying this, he did not dare to stay for long, and trotted back to the gate of Hanlin Mansion, picked up the broom and started sweeping. Jianyun returned to the big house on Qinglong Street with the news and told Xuanyue about it, and only then did he feel relieved.

After two days of reflection, Shan Zimo finally came out of Longyin Garden. During these two days, he had been thinking about the secret of Hanyu Lake all the time. As soon as he finished his reflection, he went to Hanyu Lake again.

"Young Master, ever since you were punished at Hanyu Lake that day, you have been obsessed with this lake. But what has the Young Master discovered?" Shan Boyu followed Shan Zimo to the back mountain.

"That's a Feng Shui treasure land," Shan Zimo breathed in the biting cold air of the back mountain, but it seemed as comfortable as a spring breeze. "If we can find out the secret of Hanyu Lake, it may be a great thing for our Xueying Hall!"

"Young Master, what you said is absolutely right," Shan Boyu scratched his head, "But what are your plans, Young Master?"

"Dive to the bottom of the lake and find out what's going on!" Shan Zimo was full of confidence. He thought that when he was still Shen Lingfeng, he had loved diving. However, he was not sure whether Shan Zimo's body still remembered those diving skills.

Two days later, the swordsman's lonely grave had completely merged into the surrounding environment, and the two men didn't even notice it when they passed by.

Shan Zimo and his companion arrived at the Hanyu Lake. Only two days later, the hole in the ice made by Zi Yu was sealed again. The entire surface of the lake was as smooth as a mirror. The cold wind from the back mountains carried broken snowflakes, which fluttered freely on the lake.

Shan Zimo stretched out his right hand, and Shan Boyu handed him his Frost and Snow Dragon Roar Blade. Shan Zimo held the blade. Now, the surging internal force was running through his arms, strengthening his arms like steel. The true energy driven by the internal force wrapped around the Frost and Snow Dragon Roar Blade along his arms, and frost quickly condensed on the blade, making the blade twice as big!

Shan Zimo held the knife and walked towards the center of the lake. The tip of the knife cut across the lake, and immediately a line of ice spikes stood up on the lake!

After choosing a position, Shan Zimo grasped the knife with both hands, gathering his internal strength in both hands. His bulging blue veins were faintly visible under his white robe.

"Break!" With his monkey cry, which echoed in the back mountain, a three-foot-deep ice hole appeared on the surface of the lake, which was larger than the one opened by Zi Yu!

Shan Zimo gathered his inner strength, turned around and smiled at Shan Boyu, then threw the Frost and Snow Dragon Chant Blade at him. Shan Boyu jumped up, and the blade was steadily inserted into the scabbard.

"Just wait for me here, I'll go down and explore!" After saying that, Shan Zimo jumped into the Hanyu Lake. Along with the sound of him entering the water, the sound of whistling cold wind rang out again in the entire back mountain.

Shan Boyu was holding the Frost and Snow Dragon's Roar Knife, squatting beside the ice hole, looking into the lake from time to time.

Dan Zimo was in the lake. His diving skills were as proficient as Shen Lingfeng's, and he could move freely in the cold lake water.

Every time he dived a little deeper, Dan Zimo felt more resistance. That resistance was not the ordinary diving pressure, but a kind of resistance from the internal force running in his body! Every time he dived a little deeper, Dan Zimo felt that his internal force was like a trapped beast, struggling a little.

"At this depth, it's not a matter of diving pressure at all. It seems to be related to the internal force in my body."

As he thought about it, he reached out his hand to touch the deeper water of the lake. The internal force in his hand was constantly surging and extremely unstable, which further confirmed his guess. He withdrew his hand and swam to the surface of the lake.
