Green scales

At the main entrance of the Wan Yao Temple.

"I don't want to say anything else, you know what to do, after we leave, you can open the magic circle." Situ Ling and Yao Jue stood in front of the Wan Yao Temple, with a very luxurious carriage parked behind them .Yao Jue was combing the horse's mane with his hands up, and the two horses lowered their heads quietly.

Qing Yu said with a blank expression: "I just got married yesterday, and today I can't wait to put down my pick?"

"Hey, isn't Yao Yao wanting me to go out with him?"

Yao Jue: "..."

Situ Ling had a newly-married satisfied look on his face, like a big dog that has finally gnawed a bone.

"Going directly to Beihai?" Qing Yu snorted softly, not bothering to argue with Situ Ling, and said casually.

"Yes, we plan to stroll all the way." Yao Jue smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, we will come back as soon as possible after the Beihai incident is over."

Qing Yu's expression relaxed, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, there is a magic circle protecting the mountain, they can't get in."

"You've worked hard these days, and I'll bring you some novelties when the time comes." Yao Jue patted the horse, then sat on the shaft of the cart, glanced sideways at Xia Xinglan who was standing under a tree not far away, and saw Qingyu knew nothing but the silver bracelet on her wrist.

"Pull out a dragon scale for you to play with? Haven't you tried it before? How about asking Phoenix for some tail hair." Situ Ling rubbed his chin and smiled happily.

Yao Jue glanced lightly at Situ Ling, Situ Ling choked immediately, and obediently shut his mouth.

Qing Yu's hand covered under the cuff lightly brushed the silver bracelet on her wrist, and the ruby ​​with her fingertips. After hesitating for a long time, she hesitated and said: "You guys...if it's convenient, help me find out the whereabouts of the song. Maybe..."

Yao Jue and Situ Ling looked at each other upon hearing the words, and Situ Ling nodded slowly.Yao Jue understood, sighed softly, handed a round mirror to Qing Yu, and said: "I promise you, but this mirror will tell you some things, put it under your pillow at night, and you can enter the mirror , and then you'll know what you want to know."

Qing Yu gave a "hmm" and took the silver mirror.

"Then let's go first."

Yao Jue turned around and jumped onto the carriage. Situ Ling took a deep look at Qing Yu, then turned his head to look at Xia Xinglan who was silent all the time, finally sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, we will hurry back .”

Qing Yu nodded in response, "Don't worry, I know what to do, besides, didn't you always want to pass the throne to me?"

"If you don't want to be..."

"Okay, okay, let's go, if you don't leave, I will leave, and then no one will take over your mess." Qing Yu said casually.

Situ Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he turned around and boarded the carriage.Then the two horses let out a long neigh, and the wheels rolled and ran forward. As the speed increased, the dust flew up, and the two horses suddenly spread a pair of wings, leading the carriage to take off, and then turned into a The black dot disappeared into the sky.

Qing Yu lowered her head and glanced at the silver mirror in her hand, her expression was gloomy and inexplicable, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Xia Xinglan walked to Qing Yu's side and said in a low voice, "If you need my help, just say so."

Qing Yu put down her sleeves to cover her wrists, and said noncommittally: "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

Xia Xinglan was startled, but before he could agree, Qing Yu shook his sleeves, and suddenly a dazzling white glow appeared under his feet, and a magic circle appeared out of thin air.

Qingyu recited the formula silently, and the two disappeared immediately.

Suzaku Houshan, Qianhe Valley.

Thousand Crane Valley is a forbidden place in the demon world. Although no troops were sent to guard it, all the little demons dared not approach it easily. There was no other reason. Someone had dared to break into it before and stayed in it for three full days before being rescued. The person's complexion was pale, as if he had suffered extreme fright, and his mind was on the verge of collapse.

But if asked, he refused to say anything.

Afterwards, Situ Ling even issued a death order, and because of his authority, all the monsters dared not approach him.

At this moment, in the Thousand Crane Valley, which is rarely visited by people, two figures suddenly appeared, walking towards the valley one after the other.

"This is the Thousand Crane Valley, the forbidden area of ​​the demon world. Situ Ling has set up a phantom array outside. Generally, when a little demon steps in, he will see the scene he fears the most."

The valley was overgrown with weeds, trees and vines stretched across to block the way, Qing Yu waved his sword, lightly swept away the trees and stones blocking the way, and said in a slow voice.

"No living creature can escape this phantom formation. The reason why it hasn't been affected today is because I cast the spell in advance."

Xia Xinglan raised his hand to block a vine that was about to fall for Qing Yu, and when he heard this, he said "um", and asked back, "Who brought me here...?"

"I'll show you the way. Situ and the others won't be able to come back in a few months. At that time, I need you to do something for me so that I don't go the wrong way and enter the forbidden area."

The valley was very quiet, only the rustling of the wind passing through the forest and the gurgling of the water, Xia Xinglan had no doubt that there were no other living things in the valley except him and Qing Yu.

A few steps away, there is a cliff waterfall, and Xia Xinglan can feel the water vapor blowing towards his face from a long distance away, with a hint of coolness, as if it wants to penetrate into his bone marrow.

There is a stone platform under the waterfall. With the erosion of the sun, moon, wind and frost, the stone platform is already covered with cracks, and weeds are overgrown around it.

Qing Yu stepped forward and raised her hand to caress the countertop, then tapped a few places with her fingertips, and then raised her hand to swipe.

In an instant, the thin cracks on the stone platform glowed with golden light, and they were connected along the gaps. After a while, an extremely complicated pattern appeared on the stone platform.

"Back back." Qing Yu said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Xia Xinglan hurriedly took a few steps back. As soon as the footsteps landed, the stone platform split into four parts with a "click", and immediately a beam of golden light shot straight into the sky from the center of the stone platform, turning into an invisible barrier in midair , covering the entire Suzaku Mountain.

Qing Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the barrier on the sky, and felt relieved after confirming that everything was safe.

"This magic circle is an isolation circle. There is only one life gate that can be entered and exited. I will set it up on the broken bridge under Suzaku Mountain, and the other entrances and exits will be closed. Later, you go to draw up an edict and inform all the demons." Qing Yu turned around and walked slowly along the way he came. Xia Xinglan also followed behind him. After thinking for a while, he asked:

"Since there is still a gate left, how can we stop Wuhe and the others?"

"The moment the protective barrier is formed, it will automatically contain the monsters in Suzaku Mountain. All the little monsters in the mountain will be fine, but people from outside will not be able to enter."

No wonder Situ Ling would let Wu He and the others call out all the insiders. He must not know about the mountain protection circle. Xia Xinglan murmured, "What about the other monsters outside Zhuque Mountain? They can't get in either?"

"Then you can't come in." Qing Yu's face was light, and she said casually: "After a long time, they will naturally go to their Majesty. At that time, Situ Ling will not come back if he wants to."

After Qing Yu finished speaking, she walked back slowly with her hands behind her back. Xia Xinglan was taken aback for a moment when she heard the words, then smiled and shook her head, and followed Qing Yu back to the Hall of Ten Thousand Monsters.

Once the wedding was over, Qing Yu was free and had nothing to do for a few days, while Xia Xinglan tried her best to make him happy, and suggested some ways to relieve boredom from time to time, but Qing Yu rejected them one by one.

There is no other reason, all because of the silver mirror.

It's okay to be busy, but once he was free, Qingyu felt that the mirror in the bedroom was very dazzling. He tossed and turned for a few days, but he couldn't make up his mind to look at the silver mirror. If it is done, a certain result will be confirmed...

Xia Xinglan saw Qing Yu's distraction, and said softly, "What are you thinking?"

Qing Yu lay on the soft bed, the afternoon sun shone on his body, creating a layer of warmth, Qing Yu took a bite of an apple, closed her eyes and lazily said: "I'm thinking about the mirror."

On the day Yao Jue left, Xia Xinglan also heard something, and now she knew that Qing Yu was still thinking about drinking songs, and now that Yao Jue gave Qing Yu the mirror, he must be planning to let him figure it out by himself.

But at the moment when he was about to kick the door, Qing Yu hesitated.

Xia Xinglan knew that he couldn't persuade this kind of thing, and he couldn't persuade him.Then he smiled, did not mention this matter anymore, and took a dagger to peel an apple for Qing Yu to eat.

"Let me think again..." Qing Yu raised her hand to cover her eyes and muttered.

As night fell, red lanterns were lit in the Wan Yao Temple. The red silk and satin of the previous wedding had not been taken off. From a distance, the Wan Yao Temple still looked very festive.

Qing Yu returned to the bedroom after taking a shower early, sat by the bed and stared at the silver mirror in a daze for a long time.Then with a sigh, he put it under the pillow and blew out the candle.

"Don't follow me, stay at home." An extremely familiar voice sounded, Qing Yu's whole body was shaken, she opened her eyes suddenly, and the scene in front of her eyes changed drastically.

Peach blossoms are shining in the valley, and a small wooden house is hidden among them.Birds chirped, and the breeze blew slightly.There is a small stream next to the house.

At this time, a man in red was squatting at the other end of the stream. His long hair almost fell to the ground. The man's appearance was exquisite, the tails of his eyes were slightly turned up, with a hint of evil spirit, but he was even more mesmerizing.

Opposite him was a chubby child, dressed in new green clothes, showing a small arm like a white lotus root, waving at the man constantly, babbling and saying something.

Qing Yu was stunned in place.

This is the home he remembers deeply.And that man in red is Yin Ge... He no longer remembers the details of getting along with Yin Ge when he was a child, but he remembers those eyes.

Yin Ge looked at Xiaotuanzi in distress, then waved his hand again, "Hurry up, I'll be back at noon."

Xiaotuanzi laughed babblingly, and crawled forward a few more times, revealing the stubby little tail under the green clothes.

"Turn the tail back." Drinking looked at the little short tail with a headache, "I'll leave if I don't change it! I really left!"

Xiaotuanzi couldn't understand what he said, but tilted his head and watched him laughing non-stop, drinking songs as if he was going to leave, Xiaotuanzi's mouth deflated immediately when he saw this, and he was about to cry.

Yinge hurriedly ran to the shore, grabbed Xiaotuanzi, and Xiaotuanzi immediately wrapped around his neck, giggled, and babbled: "Father...Father"

"I'm not your father, call me brother." Yinge had no choice but to raise his hand and pat the weeds on Xiaotuanzi's body, hugged him in his arms, and led him out resignedly.

As soon as the picture changed, the peach blossom forest and the cabin disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.Qing Yu's expression froze.

"Tick-tick-tick-"

The sound of water gradually rose, and countless voices came from a distance, as if arguing about something, Qing Yu walked towards the voice hesitantly.

"Leave him to us, we will take good care of him." An old voice sounded.

The field of vision gradually widened, and a ray of light lit up, and Yinge stood at the ray, holding the little dumpling just now in his arms, bowing his head in silence.

"What are you talking about with him! This son is the elder's grandson, he should recognize his ancestor and return to my clan!"

"Qi Bai, shut up." The old voice said again, this time with a different tone, and said kindly: "Yinge, I know you are a good boy, our clan can forget about your parents, don't you want to go back to the clan? As long as you give me the young master, I will definitely persuade the patriarch to bring you back to the clan when I go back."

Drinking song stood still like a piece of wood, until he heard the old man's words, he didn't move a little.

"I want to go back to the clan." Yinge lowered his head, and raised his hand to caress the cheek of the ignorant child in his arms.

The old man smiled and said in a slow tone: "Then give us the young master first. I will pick you up in a few days."

Xiaotuanzi giggled, holding Yinge's slender index finger with his stubby little hand, rubbing his eyes full of attachment.Drinking song laughed and said:

"But I picked up the child and hatched him. Without me, he would have died a long time ago. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? My father and mother are stupid, and only after listening to your lies A dead end without a whole body."

The old man was furious, "Shut up! Your parents failed to take good care of the fairy fruit, which led to the disappearance of the fairy fruit. Thanks to the patriarch's concealment and not reporting it to His Majesty, otherwise, your parents might not even be able to keep their souls!"

"The fairy fruit is not lost! It didn't bloom that year, where did the fairy fruit come from?!" Dingge shouted suddenly.

"Shut up! Don't you want to toast and not eat or drink fine wine! If it weren't for the benevolence of the patriarch, you still have your life?!"

"Benevolence?" Yin Ge's laughter gradually became crazy, "He is just afraid that no one will guard the fairy fruit, and if His Majesty finds out, even this grandson can be discarded at will. Is this called benevolence?!"

"It seems that you are unwilling to hand over the young master." The old man said in a deep voice.

Qing Yu's heart tightened, and she wanted to rush out, but her feet seemed to be bound by chains, unable to move.

"Don't even think about it." Drinking the song said two words coldly.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and with a wave of the old man's hand, four or five figures rushed straight towards Yinge.

"No... let me go." Qing Yu struggled hard, but it seemed like a cow had drowned in the sea. He could only watch Yinge's neck was caught by the chain, and he lifted up and hit the table, smashing the table immediately.

There were more and more black shadows around, and Yinge tore the chain around his neck in pain, rolling on the ground.

Suddenly, there was a cry of a child, like a ray of light piercing the night.

Xiaotuanzi crawled towards Yinge while crying, shouting something in his mouth, Yinge stretched out his hand, Xiaotuanzi crawled even faster when he saw it, but was picked up at the moment when the two were about to touch.

Holding the struggling young child in his arms, the old man glanced coldly at the distressed Yinge on the ground, then raised his foot to step on Yinge's hand, stepped hard on his foot, and Yinge groaned in pain, But it is bitten to death without screaming pain.

"Damn| cheap things, dare to negotiate terms."

Qing Yu's eyes were about to burst, she struggled endlessly, but she was still unable to move an inch.

"Drink song! Drink song!" Qing Yu shouted.

The old man took Zhitong away involuntarily, and Zhitong stared blankly at Yinge not far away with eyes made of water.

Yinge raised his head, looked at him, and then smiled miserably.Opening and closing his lips, he whispered, "Sorry."

Qing Yu wailed in pain, and the surrounding scenery darkened again in an instant, and countless memories flooded into his mind.

Among the peach blossoms, Yinge locked the hut, carried his bags and left the valley without looking back.

Under the moonlight, in the Bibo Pavilion, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard, singing and dancing are endless, and cheers are endless.

Drinking plucked the piano casually, but suddenly his eyes lit up. At the gate of Bibo Pavilion, a young boy dressed as a Taoist priest was surrounded by several flower girls walking in with his face flushed. He happened to raise his eyes to meet Drinking. Ge smiled slightly, and the little Taoist's face turned red again.

Countless pasts followed the peach petals, Qing Yu gasped for breath, looked at everything in front of her without blinking, there was noise in her ears, but she returned to silence at the last moment.

"jingle--"

With a crisp ringtone, Qingyu's eyes went dark, and there was nothingness around her, only the sound of drinking and singing could be heard intermittently.

"I have nothing left for him. If he still remembers me, let him go to Taoyuan Valley, under the willow tree next to the house, there is a package, which is a birthday gift for him...cough cough cough"

"It was supposed to be given to him when he was three years old, but unfortunately, I can't give it to him myself."

The voice of drinking songs gradually weakened, and the breathing was extremely heavy, as if it was difficult to say every word.

"Tell him not to look for me."

The last word fell, and everything returned to tranquility.

With a sound of "tick", Qing Yu suppressed her panting, tears rolling down her cheeks.
