How many times rose flowers

A game of chess was played until the dawn of the second day.

Gan Tang yawned and dropped the last sunspot.

"God Gan Tang, I haven't seen him in a thousand years, his chess skills have improved a lot." Luo Yifeng was not annoyed when he lost in chess, but praised him sincerely.

"I promise," Gan Tang smiled lightly, "Penglai's years were too easy, playing chess is just a way to pass the time."

When talking about Penglai, the smile on Luo Yifeng's face gradually faded, as if he didn't want to mention it.Gan Tang knew that he had said something wrong, so he bowed and apologized.

Outside the tent, the wind blows the fallen leaves, and the floating clouds are floating.Gan Tang gazed into the distance, but did not see the shadow of Penglai Jiuchongtian.Also, Penglai is invisible in the mortal world.

"Commander, a person came outside and said that there is a way to rescue the Lord." A ghost-faced man hurried in from outside the tent.

"Well, is that man a middle-aged man?" Gan Tang asked with a lazy expression, seemingly casually.

The ghost-masked man was surprised, he answered "Yes", and brought his commander and this unknown "white-clothed Taoist priest" to the man.

"It's him?" Luo Yifeng squinted his eyes, carefully sizing up the person who claimed to know how to rescue the Lord.After a while, he turned his head and asked.

The ghost-masked man was about to answer when Gan Tang, the "taoist priest in white," said, "It's him. This is really a good show."

Coincidentally, the person in front of him was Ditian who eavesdropped on their conversation that day.What Ditian didn't know was that the two of them had discovered that he was eavesdropping early last night, and deliberately said something that misled him.No, Di Tian threw himself into the trap the next day.

Ditian didn't know that he was being tricked, and was guessing what kind of riddle the two were playing.

At this moment, in the cave.

Fusheng's three personalities came out to greet them one by one under the coercion of a certain two.Mei looked at her master in astonishment—with the character of the Ninth Princess, is the next step going to take her to blame?

"Why, you still don't want to let us out?" Jixue said.

Fu Sheng shook his head in horror.In the next second, the four of them appeared in front of the Ping An Station in the western suburbs.

It seems that the formation eye of the enchantment is here.Now that the barrier was voluntarily destroyed by Fu Sheng, they naturally returned here.

Mei and Fusheng were about to take advantage of Princess Ninth's surprise to escape quietly, but they heard Jixue ask: "Are you under the influence of drunken flowers?"

"How do you know?" Mei's eyes widened.It was true that she was unconscious before because of the drunken flower shade, but only the ninth princess was present at that time, and the ninth princess didn't find any abnormalities.

"Well, I'm a god in the sky, so gods naturally know everything." Jixue babbled nonsense, but her face was serious.

Mei's eyes widened.

"Zuihuayin was created by Mr. Yuxu, and later Ditian modified the formula to become a drug for drug addicts. Moreover, there is Wangyoucao as a formula in Zuihuayin. Am I right?" Jixue said suddenly.

Fu Sheng nodded affirmatively.Now is her second personality, Yu Jing, when she is relatively normal.

"Zihuayin was originally an anesthetic drug. After it was modified, people who took it would be unconscious most of the time, and even have amnesia. After mixing with a special drug, Pink Butterfly Dream, those who got caught would be killed by the master. Control." Yu Jing said.

Hearing the word "Butterfly Dream", Huaci's pupils shrank. "Butterfly Dream" was developed by the ghost doctor when the leader of the ghost clan was in power. The original intention was to use the powder to train the dead.

This medicinal powder is very easy to get infected, once it gets infected, it will be useless as medicine.The only advantage is that if infected with "Butterfly Dream" and survived intact, the physique of ghosts or people will be greatly enhanced.In addition, after the death of the leader of the ghost clan, the ghosts or people infected with "Butterfly Dream" will die at the same time.This medicinal powder is like the most powerful Gu poison.

Huaci back then and Luo Yifeng now are the two experimental products of the leader of the ghost clan.Before the death of the leader of the ghost clan, in order to survive, Hua Ci burned every inch of her skin with the real fire of Samadhi, and Luo Yifeng did the same.Relying on the strong self-healing ability of the ghost clan, their skin quickly recovered and they escaped the catastrophe smoothly.

There were 49 dead soldiers in the ghost clan, and only they survived after the death of the leader.Yet no one else will understand the burning pain they endured.

Now when he suddenly heard the name "Butterfly Dream", Hua Ci reflexively remembered the feeling of burning skin, and shivered for a while.

"My lord, hasn't the 'Butterfly Dream' been destroyed by your order?" Mei puzzled.

"Maybe those 47 dead soldiers are not willing to be buried for the leader?" Yu stared at the distant sky in shock, the sky was dark, and the time in the enchantment deviated from the reality. Now it is the evening a few days later in reality. up.

Huaci pursed her lips, and took out a rose made of fire in her hand.The moment the rose flower detached from the fingertips, it flew towards the entrance of the cave where Luo Yifeng was.

At that time, Luo Yifeng looked at the rose flower in his hand, put on the mask, and stepped on the horse again, "Jiu You rides to listen to the order, and immediately go to the Ping An Station!"

Gan Tang watched their leaving figures and followed them with great interest.He was very good at lightness kung fu, and he caught up with Luo Yifeng not long after.Ditian stayed where he was, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This is a play I directed for you."

……

The night was dark, and the breeze blew through the willow branches, arousing a burst of fragrance.Under the signboard of Ping'an Station, the red lanterns are particularly bright.Luo Yifeng has led the Nine Nether Riders to arrive here.

Luo Yifeng stepped off his horse with a stern expression, and knocked on the door of the post station.

No response.There is only the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves.

Without further ado, Gan Tang pushed the door open and walked in.

Luo Yifeng stopped him and snorted lightly.

"You are not like Shangshen, but more like Jiuyouqi."

At this moment, the door of Ping'an Station opened with a "squeak".Mei opened the door, poked a head out from behind it, and Yu Jing's voice came from behind: "Mei, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Jiuyou riders surrounding the entrance of the post station, and she fell silent, thinking, the lord wants to arrest us, and we are not enough by myself, so we still need Jiuyou riders to help?

It's no wonder she misunderstood, Jiuyouqi is a team that only obeys the orders of Princess Jiu, and is not allowed to move unless it is an emergency.Just Luo Yifeng's cold face was enough to scare them half to death.

"Mei? You can see..." Luo Yifeng softened his expression when he saw that the person who came was the Second Hall Master of the Hall of Bones.

"I see, I see." Mei said impatiently.Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with Luo Yifeng's behavior of being the master when he opened his mouth.

While talking, Huaci pulled Jixue out of the Ping'an station.Huaci was still smiling, Jixue looked at her smiling, and forced a smile too, looking very blunt.

"Ji Xue. Your Highness Ninth Princess." "God Gan Tang."

Gan Tang and Hua Ci greeted each other politely.It was a coincidence that the identities of both of them were completely exposed.

Before Jixue could ask clearly what the words "Gantang Shangshen" meant, Gantang introduced: "This is the commander of the ghost clan Jiuyouqi, Luo Yifeng. He is also my...friend."

Gan Tang thought about his choice of words, and thought it would be more appropriate to say "friend".After all, before the war between the human race and the ghost race, the two were indeed close friends.

When Luo Yifeng heard him say that, he just frowned.A group of Jiuyou knights knelt down to salute the Lord when they saw the lord.

"See my lord."

"Yes." Huaci's voice was cold, without any emotion.Seeing the Lord's consent, Jiuyouqi got up one after another.

"Brother Seven." Huaci's voice was unusually warm.When Luo Yifeng saw her, the boulder in his heart fell to the ground.

"Sixteen, is there any accident during this trip?" Luo Yifeng asked.

"No. Seventh Brother, don't worry." Hua Ci smiled and shook her head.

Those who died in July 49th were the first batch of Jiuyou cavalry.Among the 49 dead men in Qiqi, Luoyi was popular seven times, and Huaci was sixteen.Therefore, Hua Ci called him "Seventh Brother", and Luo Yifeng called her "Sixteen".When Princess Jiu succeeded to the leader of the ghost clan, Luo Yifeng voluntarily led Jiuyouqi to consolidate her rule in the ghost clan, and the two naturally became each other's only relatives.

Yu Jing explained in a low voice the real identities of the three people, and Jixue was clever, so he understood after a while.

"Commander Luo..." She was about to salute Luo Yifeng, but Luo Yifeng shook his head with a gentler expression: "There is no need to be too polite."

Behind a bush, Ditian watched several figures with explosive force values ​​gather together, and hurriedly tried to escape.He originally wanted to come and watch this good show, but now it seems that saving his life is the most important thing.

As soon as he took the first step, someone grabbed the back of his neck from behind.

"Do you think that you escaped with your own ability last time? I'm not talented, but light work is not bad. I don't know what you think, if you and I compare, who will win?" Gan Tang's words were gentle, but Di Tian felt murderous.

Everyone said that Gantang looked like a banished fairy when he was dressed in white, but few people knew that this young man was once the God of Death in Penglai.Kill a person in ten steps, never stay behind for a thousand miles ([-]).

"Don't kill me... I don't know anything." Di Tian said.

"Hey, do you still remember how I made a confession out of your mouth last time?" Hua Ci's tone seemed to be joking, but Di Tian couldn't help but think of her appearance when she said she wanted to crush her bones inch by inch, and couldn't help I shuddered.

"It's Elder Zhaohe from Xiuyuanmen, he asked me to do it." Ditian's words are not true or not, it's really hard to judge.

"Showa..." Hearing this name, Jixue narrowed his eyes, the murderous intent fluttering in his eyes.Heh, I haven't settled with him yet, but he has come to my door.

The scene of the master's death is vivid in my mind. The elder Zhaohe was cruel and innocent. In order to seize the throne, he set fire to the mountain and killed his former comrades.Such a person is really not surprised to send snow.

"This time, there should be an end to the old and new hatred." Jixue said.

"I'll go with you." After a long silence, Huaci held her right hand, and the warmth of his palm made Jixue calm down.

Jixue nodded, looking to the south.It's a pity that we are thousands of miles away, and we can't see Xiuyuan Gate, so we have to give up.

It was raining in Yingzhou, and it was clear at the beginning of the rain. Raindrops dripped from the eaves, making a sound of "tick-tick-tick--".The water of the lake is as clear as a mirror, and occasionally fish jump out of the water and create ripples.The lotus leaves are high and low, scattered on the water surface, and the red and white lotus flowers stand out from them, which arouses silent admiration from tourists.The green lotus pods grow in it, adding a bit of color.

A small boat is moving slowly on the lake, and a boatman in the boat is wearing a bamboo hat and paddling a wooden oar.There were two "boys" standing on the boat, one was wearing a dark green blouse and a bamboo hat, and the other was wearing a red dress and a silver fox mask. They were Jixue and Huaci.

In order to facilitate travel, the two dressed in men's clothing.At first glance, it is impossible to tell that these are two beautiful young girls, but more like a young man who has run away from home.

The boat stopped at a shore.The boatman turned his head and said to them: "Young masters, you can get off the boat."

Putting a bag of broken silver into the hands of the boatman, Jixue jumped off the boat, followed by Huaci.

These days, the two traveled all the way south from Cangzhou, and finally came to Yingzhou.Yingzhou is where Xiuyuan Gate is located.Thanks to the protection of Xianmen, Yingzhou has been relatively stable these years.

There is a long street on the shore, on the long street, business travelers and pedestrians shouting, talking and laughing come and go, an endless stream, very lively.No one seems to remember that there was a fire at Xiuyuanmen a few months ago, and many people died because of it.If the scene of Master's death hadn't been etched in her mind, Jixue would have thought that Xiuyuanmen was still the same as before, and the fire was just a nightmare of hers.The two were walking on the long street, and Jixue sighed for no reason.

"Sister Immortal." Sensing Jixue's absent-mindedness, Hua Ci was a little worried.

"Ah, I'm fine." Jixue suddenly recovered and forced a smile.Her face was a little pale, but she didn't realize it.

"Hey, look." A cluster of flames ignited in Huaci's palm, and the flames jumped and danced, gradually turning into blooming roses.

The rose made of fire landed on Jixue's fingertips, and it was not hot. Looking at the rose, Jixue finally smiled.

"Thank you, Ah Jiu." Jixue said.

……

It was getting late, and the two walked into an inn, planning to rest for a night before heading on their way.

"Shopkeeper, stay in the store." Huaci said in a low tone.

"Okay, the two young masters want a room?" asked the shopkeeper.

Hearing the shopkeeper's question, Jixue was taken aback.She has not fully adapted to her status as a "son".

The shopkeeper thought she agreed, and yelled at Xiaoer, "Take these two gentlemen to the room on the second floor."

A few middle-aged women's discussions came from the side.

"Tsk, the two gentlemen are so young, I didn't expect to have the habit of breaking sleeves." One of them said meanly while eating melon seeds.

"No, no, we are just friends." Jixue knew that those people had misunderstood, and quickly explained.In order not to reveal her identity, she deliberately lowered her voice, making her voice hoarse.

The women snorted lightly, obviously not believing her words.Jixue had no choice but to ignore it.

When Huaci heard the word "friend", she frowned slightly.Her expression turned cold, as if she wanted to use force to stop the mouths of those gossiping women.Jixue tugged on her sleeve, and she calmed down just now.

This little action was seen by those middle-aged women.

"You still say no, tsk tsk." The middle-aged woman looked optimistic.

Jixue didn't bother to explain any more, so she asked the shopkeeper for two guest rooms, and took Hua Ci up to the second floor.The people on the second floor were relatively well-educated, and they didn't say anything when they watched them walk up side by side.

After entering the guest room, Jixue felt bored and went downstairs to get some snacks.Thinking of sending some snacks to Hua Ci, she walked to the next room to have a look, only to find that the door of the next room was open to the outside, and Hua Ci was staring out the window in a daze.

"Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu?" Jixue shook the pastry in front of her eyes, and she just came back to her senses.

Just as Jixue was about to ask her what happened, Huaci spoke first, with a bit of aggrieved tone: "Jixue, in your eyes, am I just your friend?"

"What?" He was used to Huaci calling himself "Sister Immortal", but when she heard her calling her name, Jixue really didn't realize it.While she was stupefied, she found it a little interesting. So Her Royal Highness Ninth Princess would also be unhappy because of such a trivial matter?

"I see." Huaci shook his head, took the pastry from Jixue's hand, and took a bite.

"Oh no, I..." Before Jixue finished speaking, she saw a certain aggrieved princess push away from the room and walk out.

Isn't this Hua Ci's own room, if he wants to leave, he should go by himself.Jixue shook her head, put down the pastry, and went back to her own room next door, depressed alone.
