Green scales

"What's going on..." Yuqin asked difficultly, feeling extremely surprised.

Xiaofu was picked up by Xia Xinglan and brought back to Jianzong, and he also met him a few times. Xiaofu is naturally stupid, and he speaks and does things a little slower than others. Because of this reason, he has always been excluded and bullied by his peers Even if I do, I will only reflect on what I did not do well, and smile foolishly.

Perhaps it was because of the influence of his ears and eyes, Xiaofu didn't want to lose Xia Xinglan's face, and even more diligently studied the skills of swordsmanship and talismans.However, the talent is shallow and the progress is not much.

But Xiao Fu is the only one in the entire Jianzong who treats Yuqin well except for Xia Xinglan.Xia Xinglan was sometimes busy teaching his younger brothers and sisters in Jianzong, and often neglected him.

Xiaofu studied hard during the day, and ran to Yuqin at night, and slowly told him what Xia Xinglan did that day, mentioned him a few times, and other small things, so that Yuqin was able to sleep through the long night. There is a glimmer of light in it.

But Xiao Fu is dead?

"Impossible." Yuqin murmured, Xia Xinglan's eyes were red, her hands clasped tightly on Yuqin's shoulders, the veins on the back of her hands were protruding, and her joints were distinct.

"I have to find the murderer! They said it was a demon, but no one is willing to avenge Xiaofu. I have to go back."

At the end of the words, there was a trace of weeping, Yuqin looked at the man in front of him who lost his mind, Yuqin was pinched by him, and hurried forward to embrace Xia Xinglan in his arms, holding his head in both hands, and fell to the ground Softly comfort.

"Okay, I'll go back with you." Xia Xinglan couldn't stop panting like a trapped beast, while Yuqin hugged his head and kissed him softly, whispering softly

"We will set off tomorrow and go back immediately to find the murderer."

"Liu Shu said that the monster killed him." With Yuqin's soothing words, Xia Xinglan gradually calmed down. Yuqin paused with both hands, thinking of what Situ Ling said just now, Wuhe was going to make a move...

But Xiaofu is just an ordinary disciple, killing him can neither shake the Demon King nor disturb Jianzong.Although Wu He is not as skilled as He, he is not a mediocre talent.

Either, Xiaofu is just the beginning, or just a "handy thing".Or, Wu He's purpose is to lure Xia Xinglan out.As for Xiaofu's death, Xia Xinglan would never stand by and watch.

Yuqin was thinking a lot and only hoped to come up with a perfect plan, which could not only avenge Xiaofu, but also protect the two of them.

"Yuqin, tell me, why did the demon kill Xiaofu? Could it be that what Master said is true, the demon is bloodthirsty by nature, commits all kinds of evil, and should be punished by heaven." Xia Xinglan said slowly in a low voice.

Yuqin didn't want to talk more, but just kissed him on the cheek, and said softly: "Don't think too much, take a good rest today, pack up your burden, we will set off tomorrow, and everything will be revealed by then."

At this time, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't tell Xia Xinglan to let go of Xiaofu's grudge. Now, only he followed him, guarding every step of the way, and came back to live in seclusion when Xiaofu was done.

"Take a rest first." Yuqin touched Xia Xinglan's forehead distressedly, and carried him to the side of the bed with a half hug and half hug. Xia Xinglan leaned back against the head of the bed like a traveler who hadn't closed his eyes for a few days. , his eyes stared blankly in one direction and began to daze.

Yuqin looked at Xia Xinglan for a while, then finally sighed helplessly, turned around and closed the door to let him calm down alone.

The mountain wind suddenly blew up outside, and Xiao Bai lay sleepily at the door, motionless.Kong Qi had already left, and Yuqin turned his head to look at the green mountain not far away, only to see a burst of dark clouds suddenly appear on the top of the mountain, rolling towards him roaring like an uncaged beast.

It has always been rainy these days, Yuqin stared blankly at the black clouds on the top of the mountain for a while, and murmured some vague words in a low voice.Immediately there was a sudden wind in the woods beside the house, and a large piece of dead leaves rolled over the sky and covered the ground.

Yuqin narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the depths of the dense forest where the leaves were trembling, then moved his right leg back, shifted his center of gravity to the rear, slowly raised his hand, and as soon as his fingertips touched the Jade hairpin on top of his head, in the depths of the forest slowly A figure appeared.

It was only after the man walked out of the woods that Yuqin saw his face clearly, a standard fox face.The eyes are slender, the face is delicate, and there is a monster aura all over his body.

Yuqin let go of his guard, thinking that this person must be the fox demon Situ Ling mentioned.

The man was also very knowledgeable, he stood a hundred meters away and bowed, "Hu Jiulang, the little demon, I would like to listen to your orders."

Yuqin responded, and said, "Go and send a message to Situ Ling, asking him to find out who killed Xiaofu, if it was a demon, and which demon? Which sect?"

Hu Jiulang responded with a sound, and his figure slowly disappeared, and then the mountain wind blew up on the ground, and the leaves disappeared after flying around.

Yuqin stood on the spot and thought for a moment, but his heart still lacked some entanglement.Then he took out three green lins from his cuffs, and after blowing, the three green lins turned into three clear jasper rings.

Yuqin randomly found a little demon in the mountains who could transform into a human form, and asked him to go to Yongshui City to pawn the jade pendant for some silver taels.

After a night of rain, layers of mist rose around the green hills next to the house, like a goddess's veil dropped from the clouds in the mountains, gently covering the house.

But tomorrow, they will leave.

Yuqin raised his right hand and pressed it to his heart. He seemed to be in a kind of confusion. He thought that he and Xia Xinglan could live here peacefully, but how could the world be as expected?

He was powerless to stop things from happening, at this moment, he only wished that he had been worrying too much before, and that he would be able to come back as soon as possible this time.

Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief, instead of going back to the house, he moved the low chair at the door to the small flowerbed beside the house. The flowerbed was still bare at the moment, Yuqin sat down and pushed up his sleeves, revealing his white and slender forearms .

When the wrist was flipped, a green light flashed, and several flower seeds suddenly appeared in the palm, which were brought back by Xia Xinglan earlier.

Yuqin bent his chest, his black hair slanted down to cover half of his cheeks, and his slender fingers peeled off the soil that still had a trace of water vapor and chill, put the flower seeds in one by one, and then combined the soil.

He sowed very slowly, most of the time he would just sit in a daze, and then he would cover the soil casually. After a while, he got some kind of bewilderment, peeled off the soil again, and took out the flower seeds.

So scattered, after a while, not only did not sow much, but dug a lot of holes.

Yuqin stared blankly at his hands covered in mud. He lied to Xia Xinglan. In fact, Yuqin didn't like playing with flowers and plants. He lied to him so that Xia Xinglan could remember him all the time. Keep them all well.

Unexpectedly, Xia Xinglan remembered every word he said half-truthfully.Later, in order to make it easier for Yuqin to plant flowers, he personally reclaimed a small piece of land, and Yuqin planted all the flowers here.

But he has always been perfunctory, just throwing it into the soil at will. To this day, this flower garden is still bare.

Tomorrow they will go on a long journey, and this is the first time Yuqin is so persistent in wanting to plant good flowers. Maybe when they come back, the place will be full of the flowers that Xia Xinglan gave him.

Yuqin stared blankly at the flower garden in front of him in a daze. Xia Xinglan was in the bedroom not far away, but he felt a little afraid to face him at the moment.

I like him so much, I am willing to do everything for him, I have nothing to be afraid of.Yuqin murmured, he was so fascinated for a moment that he didn't realize that there were people approaching around him.

"Your Majesty, this is money from the little demon."

Yuqin suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the respectful little demon beside him, holding a purse in both hands respectfully, responded, took the silver and handed over another green scale.

Seeing this, the little demon quickly waved his hands, and Chen Ken said: "No, no, no, it is the little demon's blessing to be able to do things for the emperor, and the little demon cannot accept it."

Hearing this, Yuqin started to take a closer look, only to see that this little monster is handsome in human form, but... a little familiar.

"What is your real body?"

"The little demon is a black snake."

Yuqin murmured and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you know that green snake in the bamboo forest?"

The little demon laughed foolishly, as if he was a little embarrassed, he raised his hand and touched his head.This reminded Yuqin of Xiaofu for a moment.

"Ah Ching is my friend. We grew up together."

"Does he not have a human form?"

"He doesn't like to use human form, and he doesn't like to speak human language." The little demon rubbed the bridge of his nose, and explained with a sneering smile, "Ah Qing also admires Junshang very much. I would like to take human form."

The corner of Yuqin's mouth was slightly raised, and he laughed at himself: "Admiration for me? Now there are some demons in the demon world who look down on me and say that I am a mortal."

The little demon hurriedly shook her head when she heard the words, blushed and stumbled, "No, no, your lord is the great benefactor of our snake clan. No matter who you choose, your lord will always be our lord."

Yuqin looked at the nervous little demon in front of him, smiled and didn't say much, and handed Qing Lin over, but the little demon insisted on refusing to accept it. Seeing Yuqin's face down, the little demon was serious After accepting Qinglin, he turned into a black snake and quickly swam into the mountain after saluting.

Yuqin weighed the heavy purse in his palm, got up and went to the kitchen to wash his hands before returning to the bedroom.

Yuqin gently pushed open the door, Xia Xinglan was still sitting by the bed, looking sideways at the green hills outside the window.He turned his head to look after hearing Yuqin's footsteps.

Yuqin hurried forward to hug Xia Xinglan, resting her chin on the top of his head, without making a sound, just hugging him quietly.

Xia Xinglan calmed down quite a bit at this moment, and stretched out her arms to wrap around Yuqin's slender waist.Burying her cheek on his shoulder and neck, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry."

Yuqin shook his head, and patted Xia Xinglan's back with both hands. "No need to apologize, the most urgent thing is to find out the whole story, now we have to calm down."

Yuqin let go of her arms, turned to look at Xia Xinglan for a long time, and said softly, "Everything is up to me, I will be with you."

"Yuqin." Xia Xinglan said in a deep voice, his eyes contained extreme tenderness and affection, enough to drown Yuqin to death. "I never regret choosing you. What I promised you will not change."

Yuqin's body trembled slightly, her long eyelashes flickered, and she hummed.

"Then let's pack our bags. I just went to the town to pawn some silver, which is enough for us to rent a carriage and spend along the way."

Xia Xinglan heard the words and said, "Are you going to pawn things? I have some silver, which was given by the townspeople during the exorcism. It's enough for us to use on the road. I'll go buy things back."

Yuqin hurriedly stopped Xia Xinglan and said, "It's not something important, it's just some accessories from the Bibo Pavilion. It's just for emergencies. I stay here and face them every day. It's inevitable that it will bring back memories of the past." , it’s better to exchange for silver taels as soon as possible.”

Xia Xinglan nodded when he heard the word Bibo Pavilion, and didn't say anything about buying it back.The previous days are really not a good memory for Yuqin.

"Then I'll buy you some later."

Although Yuqin didn't care about these bells and whistles, Xia Xinglan thought he liked it, so she nodded and agreed.

Anyway, as long as it was sent by Xia Xinglan, he would accept it all.

The two cuddled together and whispered in each other's ears for a while, then Xia Xinglan went to the kitchen to make a simple lunch, and Yuqin followed suit.After the two finished eating, they started to pack up.

The two divided the work into tidying up the house separately. Yuqin first went to clean the kitchen carefully, locked the dishes and chopsticks in the cabinet, took a long cloth to cover the cabinet and the stove, and saw that it was almost the same. Then he went to the bedroom.

Xia Xinglan was making the bed, so Yuqin turned around and put away some change of clothes.

Xia Xinglan was about to carry the quilt outside to let the sun bask in the sun, when she turned around, there was a slight sound, as if something had fallen on the ground, Xia Xinglan looked down but her body suddenly stopped.

It was a green forest.

The scales are half the size of a palm, one can imagine what a giant his master must be.

"Yuqin." There was an undetectable tremor in the voice.

Yuqin responded, and turned her head to look, as if struck by lightning.
