Green scales

Yu Qin shook his head slowly, and said to Situ Ling, "Give me that umbrella."

Situ Ling went in without knowing it, but he still flicked his sleeves, and appeared in the air with a plain, light green paper umbrella.

Yuqin took the paper umbrella, raised her hand and lightly brushed the surface of the umbrella, took a breath, then walked forward to the door again, and said to Xiaodaotong: "Xiaodaochang, please return this umbrella to Xia Xinglan at last, just say ...Just tell him to go to the cabin outside Yongshui City within three days, someone is waiting for him."

Xiao Daotong hesitated for a moment, took the paper umbrella on tiptoe, held it under his arm, and nodded solemnly.

Yuqin bowed slightly, thanked him, then turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped as if thinking of something, opened his lips and said slowly: "Please be sure to go within three days. After three days, that person will not wait for you." him."

Daotong nodded, "Got it." Then he went into the door again holding the paper umbrella.

Yuqin turned his head to look at the closed door with a complicated expression, took a long breath, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Obviously that person has found Zhen Yuqin, but he is still lucky.Forget it, just three days, if he doesn't come...

Yuqin walked up to Situ Ling, looked sideways at Yao Jue, twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a stiff smile, and said, "I want to go somewhere."

"Situ Ling and I will accompany you." Yao Jue replied softly without asking further questions.

Situ Ling pursed his lips, frowned, and was about to say something, but was suddenly pushed by Yao Jue. Seeing Yao Jue's brows stood on end, obviously intending to punch him if he said a word, he quickly flinched The neck shut up.

The three stood quietly for a while, Situ Ling was still a little unconvinced, and whispered: "Why are you so kind to a mortal, you like him so much, you must have him, I will go in and catch him, and tie him to your palace If you go here, it will be done."

Yao Jue knew that Situ Ling was just not reconciled for Yuqin. It is true that his good brother was bullied like this and almost lost his life. If he hadn't stopped him, he might have killed him single-handedly again.

But at this moment... Wuhe is clearly united with mortals, and the enemy is in the dark. Moreover, they have obtained Yuqin's inner alchemy, which is even more powerful. …

"Your Majesty." Yao Jue said warmly, "By force cannot solve all problems."

"But it can solve most of the problems." Situ Ling said cheekily.

Yao Jue shook his head, obviously he didn't want to get entangled with Situ Ling any more. Situ Ling, an old monster, was as thick-skinned as him.

"Let's go." Yuqin said, Situ Ling nodded, raised his hand, and a golden light instantly enveloped the three of them, and then flew into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

A bird on the branch was frightened and flew up, shaking off a few dead leaves on the branch.The bird flew across the mountain gate and plundered into a towering tree in the courtyard.

The leaves Mosuo made a rustling sound, the sun shifted, and a ray of dazzling sunlight avoided the leaves and shone on Xia Xinglan's eyes.

"Daoist Xia...?"

Xia Xinglan opened her eyes suddenly as if waking up from a dream.

Daoist Xia... Yuqin wouldn't call herself so unfamiliar.

He is not Yuqin.

Xia Xinglan suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly let go of the young man's arms, looking dazed.

The young man was hugged inexplicably, and at this moment he was pushed away violently. He was just confused, thinking that Xia Xinglan had destroyed his brain by exorcising demons.

"I'm sorry." Xia Xinglan said slowly, "I mistook someone, I mistook you...for him."

"You mean the young man who looks like me?"

Xia Xinglan nodded in pain, her eyes were bloodshot.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then explained in a low voice: "Actually, you and I only met once. On the second day after I saved you, when I was out, that young master found me and gave me a sum of money to let you go." I left that place, I am very grateful to him, and he really didn't mean to harm me."

"But...he's a demon." Xia Xinglan murmured in a low voice.

The young man touched his head when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "People can be divided into good and bad. If the young master really wants to make things tight, he can kill me afterwards. Isn't it better that there is no confrontation."

Xia Xinglan remained silent, "But... I like Yuqin, and you are... Yuqin."

"Didn't you mistake me for him just now?" The young man sneered, "You should know who you like best in your heart. When you look at me now, don't you still feel strange?"

Xia Xinglan was extremely confused, she just stared blankly at the tree trunk beside her.

"Brother? Master is looking for you." Outside the court, Liu Shu stood at the door with his hands behind his back, and seemed to be holding something behind him.

Xia Xinglan turned around, responded with a deep voice, and left quickly.

Liu Shu is tall and tall, with a heroic posture.After Xia Xinglan left, she turned her head and looked at the young man in white standing under the tree. Liu Shu smiled slightly, walked to the young man's side, raised her hand to stroke his side hair, her handsome face was even more gentle under the sunlight.

The young man couldn't help but his cheeks became hot and his eyes wandered.

"Liu... Daoist Liu."

"En." Liu Shu responded softly, "Are you still used to living here?"

"Xi... get used to it." The young man blushed.

"It's good to get used to it. I have something to do now, and I have to do it as soon as possible. Can you help me throw this to the cliff in the back mountain?"

Liu Shuyouyou took out a paper umbrella from behind, the color was dim, obviously it was old.

The young man responded blankly, thinking it was an old thing, he raised his hand to take it and nodded.

Liu Shu smiled and raised her hand to ruffle the young man's hair, and said slowly, "Remember to throw it off the cliff."

The young man's ears were red, and he nodded in response.

Yinmei Pavilion is located in a remote location, it is a small wooden house, surrounded by a plum blossom forest, the tree trunks are bare at the moment, it looks a bit bleak.

Xia Xinglan's master lived here. Ever since he could remember, his master had seldom smiled. His expression was always calm, as if there was nothing in the world that he could take a second look at.Xia Xinglan was a little afraid of him at first, but she did feel sorry for him later on.

Master has almost lived in this Yinmei Pavilion for decades, and the Yinmei Pavilion has been deserted for ten years.No disciple was willing to go here. In the beginning, Xia Xinglan always delivered three meals a day here. After Xia Xinglan left, it was Xiaofu and Liu Shu who took turns.

Xia Xinglan walked to the door, raised her hand and knocked lightly.As soon as there was a knock, the door opened with a "squeak".

The interior of the house was still as simple as he remembered, without any extra decorations.

"Master."

In his memory, Master was meditating and practicing Taoism all year round.But today, Master is sitting at the table with a relaxed expression, as if waiting for an old friend. There is a small plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table, which is his favorite cake.

"Xing'er is back."

Xia Xinglan nodded and stood by the table.

"Sit down." The Taoist raised his chin, his face was old, his beard and hair were all white, but his eyes were twinkling, and the handsome face of his youth could be vaguely discerned.

Xia Xinglan sat down, bowed her head and remained silent.

"I know everything about you." The Taoist raised his hand and poured two cups of tea, pushed one of them in front of Xia Xinglan, and carefully looked at Xia Xinglan opposite him with a smile in his eyes: "You have grown up a lot, It's already 28 this year."

Xia Xinglan nodded, opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say, and after a while: "Master...how is your health? This disciple is not filial, and has not been able to serve Master around in recent years."

The Taoist laughed, raised his hand and gently stroked his long beard under his chin, "The time for the master is approaching."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Xinglan was shocked all over, and raised her head to look at Master in disbelief. "No...it's impossible."

The Taoist smiled and said slowly: "Everyone is mortal, Xing'er doesn't need to worry about it. You and I have been in love with each other for many years, and I also treat you as my own son."

Xia Xinglan's eyes were red, and his voice was choked up: "Master...Master is just like my father."

"Don't cry anymore." The Taoist smiled, "I'm looking for you here today because of your business. Xiao Liu has already told me about it."

"His name is Yuqin, right?"

Xia Xinglan hesitated, "I don't know...I regard him as Yuqin, but I don't know his real name."

The Taoist turned his head slightly, looked at the dead branches outside the window, and said slowly: "Many years ago, there was a red lady in Bibo Pavilion, named Yinge."

Xia Xinglan raised his head and looked at the Taoist puzzledly, for some reason he suddenly brought up this matter.

"Ok?"

"Drinking song is also a demon." The Taoist said with a smile, his brows were full of tenderness, "He is a red-trained snake demon."

Xia Xinglan looked at the Taoist in confusion, and responded.

"He is your Yuqin's elder brother. At that time, your Yuqin was still a little snake, and Yinge told me that Yuqin was hatched by him." The Taoist smiled and sipped his tea.

Xia Xinglan looked complicated, stared blankly at Master, and said, "But... Yuqin is a green snake."

"Yingge and Yuqin are both abandoned snakes. Yinge was raised by other snake monsters, and he raised Green Snake. Because Green Snake was extremely talented, he was brought back to the clan and renamed Qingyu. The Taoist narrowed his eyes slightly, as if lost in memory: "Yin Ge is an ordinary snake demon, not qualified to enter the sect, so he can only come to the world."

Xia Xinglan was shocked and remained silent for a long time, "Master...how did you know this?"

"Back then, I was just like you, a boy. I went down the mountain on impulse. Later, I met Yin Ge." The Taoist said softly: "He never concealed his identity as a demon, and often threatened to eat me."

Speaking of this, a gentle smile appeared on the Taoist's old face, and he continued: "Yu Qin, it's the name that Yin Ge thought of for his younger brother, your green snake, but unfortunately, it hasn't been used yet. The green snake was brought back to the clan. Just at this time, a little boy came to Bibo Pavilion for the first time. He was thin and small. Maybe it reminded him of that thin little snake. He called the boy "Yuqin" when he drank the song."

Xia Xinglan looked at Master in surprise. He had always believed that Master must hate monsters very much. He never thought that there would be a "snake demon friend". It seemed that the two were very close.Although he shouldn't randomly guess his master in his heart, but...

"Master... what about drinking songs?"

The Taoist's smile gradually slowed down. After a long silence, he let out a long breath and said, "I died by my sword."

Xia Xinglan was shocked inside, no wonder... no wonder he had never seen his master wield a sword before, but his sword skills were outstanding. He never thought that there would be such a secret thing!

Killing one's best friend with one's own hands, this kind of pain...

"Master... why did you do that?"

The Taoist fell into a long memory, staring blankly at the plum blossom tree outside the window. After a long time, he smiled: "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."

Xia Xinglan took a deep breath, and when he was about to speak again, he was interrupted by the Taoist: "I don't have much time, and there are some things you should know. When a person is about to die, his words are good. I have never taught in my life What's your point?"

The Taoist let out a long breath, "I have been extremely confused in my life as a teacher. There are only two disciples, you and Liu Shu. I am old as a teacher. I don't want to see you go astray. Your affairs must be decided by yourself. But Liu Shu's whole body is full of evil spirits these days, he may be contaminated with dirty things, you have to take care of him, and persuade him to rein in the precipice if necessary."

"Master..."

Jianzong, Guanhai Tower.

Liu Shu was sitting in front of the desk, gently wiping the long sword in his palm with a cloth, with a relaxed expression.On the other side, Lian Ge showed an impatient expression, "What did you ask me to do?"

"Be safe and don't be impatient, naturally I called you here because of something."

Lian Ge looked at Liu Shu suspiciously. With a calm expression, Liu Shu polished the sword until it was shiny, then slowly put it aside, and took out a milky white pill from the cabinet under the table.

Lian Ge frowned, and his eyes lit up: "This is..."

"Since my lord has promised you, I will naturally not break my promise. Besides, this matter can be a great success, without your help." Liu Shu smiled and pushed the pill towards Liange, and continued: "This pill can Help you remove the scars on your face, and after taking three pills, you will be back to normal."

Lian Ge couldn't wait to take the pill, put it in his palm and looked at it carefully, with a hint of urgency on his face, "Where are the other two?!"

"No hurry, Qingyu will go to Yongshui City to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots. My lord hopes that you can go again."

After the initial surprise and eagerness, Lian Ge suddenly calmed down, looked at Liu Shu who was resting before him, sneered, and said, "This injury was not caused by your good brother, and now you are here to bargain with me?! Back then Say yes, help you heal my injury this time!"

Liu Shu raised his eyebrows, "You don't have to go, as for whether the governor will care about your appearance, that's another matter."

Lian Ge looked at Liu Shu coldly, and Liu Shu looked at him without hesitation. After a long time, Lian Ge got up angrily, and said bitterly: "Situ Ling and another person will always protect him, I can't beat him at all." The two of them."

"Someone will pick you up, you just need to lure those two away."

Lian Ge stared at Liu Shu steadfastly, then turned around and disappeared with a flick of his sleeves.
