Panlong Wall

Chapter 11

The next day, Jiang Yuanjin and Yin Jiyan came to Yuqing Palace. After registering their surnames, they said they wanted to visit Jiang Shu, but they never wanted to be stopped.

Although the gatekeeper female disciple was polite on the face, she was a little wary, and said stiffly: "I'm sorry, the palace master is unwell, so I can't see the guests."

"Palace Master?" Yin Jiyan didn't react for a while, and asked suspiciously, "We don't see each other..."

Jiang Yuanjin hurriedly stopped him, and said slightly surprised: "Could it be that the current Mistress of Yuqing Palace is Jiang Shu?"

"What?" Yin Jiyan was surprised.

"Yes, just three days ago, the former Palace Master Dai personally announced it. The whole palace knew about it, but it hadn't had time to announce it, because Senior Sister Jiang Shu... Uh, the new Palace Master, she has a body these few days. Unwell, I need to recuperate for a while, so I delayed it. But tomorrow or the next day, people will be sent out to inform all sects and sects, and the succession ceremony of the new palace master will also be held in the future. You two will come again some other day."

Yin Jiyan looked at Jiang Yuanjin with questioning eyes.Jiang Yuanjin knew that the female disciple was not lying. Jiang Shu had just gone through the thunder disaster five days ago, and she had consumed a lot of energy. It was impossible for them to be alive and kicking, but they couldn't just go back like this.He had a friendly face, smiled gently, and said: "I and Palace Master Jiang belong to the Jiang clan of Eternal Day Palace. I have personally experienced the catastrophe and trauma she experienced. Palace Master Jiang was still in Eternal Day Palace back then. When we were young, we still had some brother-sister friendship, so this visit is to congratulate her on successfully surviving the catastrophe, and to see if there is anything I can do to help. After all, it is not easy to recover from the eight-fold catastrophe. Suggest some suggestions for speedy recovery. Junior sister, please inform Palace Master Jiang that I, Jiang Yuanjin, are here to visit her. If she doesn't want to see her, I won't force her." He took out something and handed it to the woman.

Yin Jiyan glanced away, and suddenly his mind exploded, and he opened his eyes and stared at Yin Jiyan.

The woman looked at the two smooth and round night pearls in her hand, and Jiang Yuanjin's kind and handsome face blushed.She suddenly asked: "You guys, are you really not from the Xiuyang Sect or the Bai Family?"

The two were taken aback for a moment, but they had doubts in their hearts but said truthfully: "No."

Seeing that they did not seem to be lying, the female disciple was relieved and agreed: "Okay, I will report for you."

After the person left, Yin Jiyan was surprised and angrily said: "My Ye Mingzhu! When did you steal it? It's fine if you steal it, but you still have to give it to someone else!"

There was a smile in Jiang Yuanjin's eyes, and he looked a little proud, and he said unhurriedly: "You don't understand, this is called getting money, and it is convenient to handle things. I didn't bring much when I came out this time, and you just happened to have it. Besides , How can it be called stealing, what’s yours is mine, what’s mine is yours, we’re together, I don’t think we need to be polite to each other.”

"...You are shameless." Yin Jiyan rolled his eyes in return, although there were two or three words that were quite pleasing to his ears.

"Do you want me to be polite to you?" Jiang Yuanjin pretended to be surprised.

"Shut up!" Yin Jiyan simply kicked him, but Jiang Yuanjin easily dodged it with a giggle.

In Jiang Shu's room in Yuqing Palace, one person was half leaning and half leaning on the couch, and the other was sitting upright at the mahogany round table.

The person on the couch was Jiang Shu. Her whole body was wrapped in thick black cloth so that it was airtight. Only her face was exposed. She was thin and delicate, but her complexion was pale and sickly, and her eyes were bloodshot.Her voice was hoarse and weak, and there was a faint sneer on her lips: "I have passed the eighth heavenly calamity, Jiang's side must have received the news, and will definitely send someone over to investigate. I have been dealing with it for the past few days I also forgot to tell you about Dai Wei. But I didn't expect that it was Jiang Yuanjin who came, I thought it would be someone from Jiang Yangli's side. Well, I can see him."

The woman sitting at the table looked a little older, and her appearance was not very outstanding, but she had a fierce and proud aura that made people dare not look down upon her.She looked at Jiang Shu and pointed out: "Oh? You want to see him? Don't you dislike Jiang's people? Is he special?"

Jiang Shu didn't even move her eyelids, and said coldly: "You know what I have done so much to get to where I am today."

"Heh," the woman said with a half-smile, and changed the subject, "Success or failure depends on tonight. To avoid troubles, you better not see this person. I'll send him away."

Jiang Shu was silent for a moment, closed her eyes and said, "It's up to you."

The woman left a sentence of "you have a good rest" and got up to leave.

Han Zhenqing walked out of Jiang Shu's room, walking at a leisurely pace, not in a hurry to meet Jiang Yin and her two.

Her eyes were dark, revealing a natural coldness, like the snow that never melted on the top of a high mountain, even though there was no anger on her face, it made people feel cold involuntarily.

She was walking alone.All of a sudden, there was a subtle and elegant fragrance in the air, and a female voice sounded around, soft and charming.This voice did not belong to Han Zhenqing.

"Don't you hate the things with dragons the most? Why are you willing to meet that human descendant of the dragon?"

Han Zhenqing's face remained unchanged, and she glanced at the ground beside her very quickly. There were fine dust rising in the air, and there were almost no traces if you didn't look carefully.

She spoke in a cold tone without any emotion: "Jiang Yuanjin, this person seems to have been mentioned by you. He is the only person in the Jiang clan who has transformed into a dragon body after a rebirth."

"Not the only one," the voice in the air was low and moving, and the last word was drawn out from time to time, "There is another person named Jiang Qinghe who also has a dragon body, but this person joined the Demon Realm many years ago. There is no contact with Eternal Day Palace."

"Demon Realm? Hmph, the Dragon Clan is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Han Zhenqing's eyes flashed a look of sinister loathing, he sneered, and said, "You know a lot."

"Hehe, isn't this a remarkable thing that was discovered during the investigation of the Eternal Day Palace before? It's really hard to find, and it didn't take much effort." The laughter was as sweet as silver. Ling, sounded very happy, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles."

Han Zhenqing couldn't help but sneered and said: "What are you proud of? It's just a discovery. If you want to subdue it, it will take a lot of effort. That guy hates you, don't steal chickens and lose money, and then you will pay yourself .”

That voice was still laughing, not angry at all: "Don't underestimate me, anyway, I have guarded it for more than 1000 years, and there is no other person in the underworld who is more familiar with it than me. And , I didn’t get the position of Lord of the Nether Palace for nothing. It’s you, don’t fall short again tonight.” She bit the word "you" hard, trying to retaliate against Han Zhenqing.

Han Zhenqing remained unmoved, but his eyes darkened, and there was invisible oppression in his voice, and he said, "You just need to protect me well, after tonight, you can get out."

The voice in the air only chuckled a few times and stopped answering.In an instant, the flying dust beside Han Zhenqing's footsteps became silent, and the scent disappeared.

Jiang and Yin were led by the gatekeeper female disciple just now to a reception side hall.On the way, Yin Jiyan ignored Jiang Yuanjin's fondness for flirting, deliberately walked a few steps to the front, and gave him the back of the head.Jiang Yuanjin had no choice but to talk to the leading female disciple: "By the way, my junior sister, is the Bai family you mentioned just now the famous family in Yuti City? What happened to them and the Xiuyang sect?"

The female disciple's face was flushed, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, you're welcome, just call me Jinhua."

The smile on Jiang Yuanjin's face was still warm: "Okay, Junior Sister Jinhua."

Although Yin Jiyan was secretly listening with his ears up, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at this moment.

Jin Hua said: "Since Senior Brother Jiang asked, I will tell you, but Senior Brother can't speak out."

"nature."

After receiving Jiang Yuanjin's verbal promise, Jin Hua seemed to have lost all scruples, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, the Bai family is a well-known family in Yuti City. There are many famous monks. There is a senior sister in the palace. She was born in the Bai family, named Bai Ying. Although Senior Sister Jiang Shu has been in the palace for a long time and has deep qualifications, the former Palace Master liked Senior Sister Bai Ying the most. Senior Sister Bai Ying started late, but she is very talented. The spells are all fast and good, especially swordsmanship. And she is also very beautiful, with an informal temper, graceful and elegant, no pretensions, easy to talk and close, everyone likes her." When talking about Bai Ying, Jin Hua I can't stop boasting.

Yin Jiyan turned his head in front of him, and said deliberately: "Then you mean that Jiang Shu is not close relatives, so she cares about every detail?"

"Hey, I didn't say that! Don't talk nonsense," Jinhua frowned, glared at Yin Jiyan, didn't look at him, lowered his voice to Jiang Yuanjin, and continued, "Although Senior Sister Jiang Shu is on the bright side The chief disciple, but other seniors and sisters, including senior uncles and senior uncles, have privately discussed that the person the former palace master really wanted to inherit should be Bai Ying. After all, she has a good family background, high cultivation, good character, and good looks Excellent, won the favor of the palace lord and is close to everyone. I didn't say that Jiang Shu is not good, but compared with Senior Sister Bai Ying, she is still a little worse, just like the cherry blossoms in Dongyuan at the beginning of this year. , but Jiang Shu didn’t know why, she insisted on asking someone to cut down and plant plum blossoms, but the flowering period of plum blossoms has passed, and the planted branches are bare branches, which are not good-looking at all. Those cherry blossom trees are still Senior Sister Baiying I planted it with my own hands. Jiang Shu said that she didn't even tell anyone, so she was uprooted. At that time, several of our senior sisters were so angry that they were wronged by Senior Sister Baiying. But Senior Sister Baiying felt sad for a while, and she also I didn’t bother Jiang Shu. Hey, I’m still angry when I think about it now!” Jinhua said that he called Jiang Shu by her first and last name, and stopped calling her senior sister. Confused, "Hmph, it must be because of that male disciple of the Xiuyang Sect!"

"Huh? Male disciple?" Yin Jiyan grasped the point, became interested, slowed down his pace, and said, "Could it be Jiang Shu's sweetheart?"

After all, Jinhua is an innocent girl, and she chatted endlessly about other people's feelings: "That's right, that person's name is Mei Qiansu, every time Jiang Shu sees him, the look in his eyes, tsk tsk, almost makes it clear that I like the word." It's written on his face. However, Mei Qiansu seems to have a good relationship with Senior Sister Bai Ying. He also majors in swordsmanship, and often visits Senior Sister Bai Ying in Yuqing Palace in the name of discussing and teaching. I once ran into the three of them together... ...Wow! That's really the Shura field, it's terrible, Jiang Shu's whole face is green, you know, it's really green! It scared me to death...Mei Qiansu's face is also quite ugly, "she As he said, he suddenly hesitated, with a look of doubt on his face, "But that day, Senior Sister Bai Ying was also a little, uh, a little strange, I saw that she seemed to be smiling, but the feeling of smiling was very different from usual... Sigh , although I really wanted to see what would happen to them, but I couldn't bear the atmosphere at that time, and people suddenly felt uncomfortable, so I left, and I don't know what will happen next..."

Jinhua sighed: "However, that was a long time ago. Mei Qiansu hasn't come to Yuqing Palace for almost a year. Anyway, I haven't seen him since that time. Jiang Shu didn't seem to mention it again. It doesn't matter... Ah, no! It doesn't matter why you want to plant plum blossoms again, Jiang Shu must still like Mei Qiansu in her heart! But she didn't see her looking for him, so what's going on..."

Seeing that the gossip girl was about to fall into deep thought again, Jiang Yuanjin quickly coughed lightly, and said, "Let's not talk about it... What happened later? Now that the position of Palace Master has been passed to Jiang Shu, the Bai Yingren is here again." where?"

"Senior Sister Bai Ying, she..." Mentioning Bai Ying, Jin Hua's face instantly became worried, and he hesitated to speak.She paused, speaking in a much heavier tone than before, "She disappeared a few months ago."

"Missing? Is there no news yet?"

Jin Hua said sadly: "No. The senior disciple of the Xiuyang Sect has a very good relationship with Senior Sister Bai Ying, and the two seem to intend to become a partner, so during the days when the senior sister is gone, both the Xiuyang Sect and the Bai family often send people to ask .Actually, in the past year, it seems that many people from several sect families in Yuti City have disappeared. To tell you the truth, there are also several uncles and uncles in Yuqing Palace who have disappeared. Steady. When the other party came, I was afraid that they were in a hurry, and their words were a little rushed. That day, Uncle Han met them. Uncle Han is not a person who is close to people, and naturally his words are not very pleasant. Let’s start. Later, Uncle Han ordered that disciples of the Xiuyang Sect and members of the Bai family will not be allowed to enter Yuqing Palace in the future.”

"Uncle Han?"

"Well, Master Han Zhenqing, by the way, Master Han ordered me to take you to the meeting hall just now."

"This Uncle Han, does your words carry weight here?" Yin Jiyan interjected.

"Ah, yes. Senior Uncle Han and Senior Sister Jiang are very close, and Senior Sister Jiang seems to listen to her." Jinhua muttered, "The relationship between two people who don't like to be close to others is surprisingly good."

While talking, the three of them had already arrived at the reception hall.Jinhua asked someone to serve tea for the two of them, and then left.Yin Jiyan held the teacup, lifted the lid, but was not in a hurry to drink, and said, "That girl, it seems, is biased towards Baiying, and she is against Jiang Shu. Now that Jiang Shu is so beautiful, she is sent Go see the door."

"Jiang Shu..." Jiang Yuanjin recalled for a while, and said, "Speaking of which, she is somewhat similar to her mother Jiang Yu's temper. Although I can get along with her peacefully, I can't achieve the relationship with Qinghe." .”

Yin Jiyan rolled his eyes, thought of something again, and smiled a little gloatingly: "Hey, when it comes to standing in a team, you were with Jiang Qinghe back then, and he was so powerful at that time, Qinghe treated people well, and his cultivation base was high. How many men are envious and jealous, and how many women secretly promise, it is quite similar to the white cherry in the little girl's mouth. It's a pity that Jiang Yangli, who is narrow-minded and narrow-minded, is attracting attention and favor in Yongri Palace now. Your website Those who are in the wrong team can only sit on the bench like that little girl now!"

Jiang Yuanjin knew that he was joking, so he also smiled, and said indifferently: "I didn't associate with Qinghe for any benefit, Yongri Palace, or in other words, I don't care about everything in this world. "

"Everything?" Yin Jiyan raised his eyebrows and said immediately, "What about me?"

"You," Jiang Yuanjin deliberately stopped here, teasing Yin Jiyan for a while, and seeing that he was about to jump up, he said slowly, "You don't belong to the mortal world, you belong to me."

Yin Jiyan lowered his head and didn't look at him, his eyes were fixed on the teacup, as if he could spot a flower, his ears were hot and red as if cooked.He said, "But aren't you also a member of the great world? Why do you say that I...belong to you, but don't you still belong to this secular world? Don't you try to deceive me with such twists and turns."

The two fell silent in unison.Yin Jiyan kept his head down until Han Zhenqing appeared.Naturally, he didn't see Jiang Yuanjin's gentle smile towards him, as if it could melt Qianxue, but there was an undetectable sadness hidden in his eyes.

Jiang Yuanjin and Yin Jiyan's impression of Han Zhenqing was not very comfortable.Because this woman feels very indifferent and arrogant, she is like a piece of ice walking on, the words she speaks and the eyes she looks at are all cold.It seems that what Jinhua said is right, people like Han Zhenqing are really hard to get close to.

She didn't speak at first, and looked the two of them up and down before saying expressionlessly: "You two, I'm sorry, Jiang Shu is in poor health, and it's not appropriate or want to see guests. There are many female disciples in Yuqing Palace, and the two of you As a man, it is not convenient to stay overnight, please go back."

After she finished saying this, she turned around and left without even looking at him.

Yin Jiyan and Jiang Yuanjin were stunned for a while, and it took a while to come back to their senses. They came in together and waited for so long just to hear such a sentence.This order to chase away guests is straightforward, merciless, and leaving no room for it.

Yin Jiyan jumped up angrily, yelling that he wanted to blow the woman's head off.Jiang Yuanjin managed to persuade her to come down, and said: "In this case, let's leave, it's meaningless to stay any longer."

"No! I'm very angry! My lungs are going to explode! I need a fight to calm down!" Yin Jiyan's anger still persisted.

"Okay, okay, let's go first, be obedient, I'll call you later..."

"I don't want to fight with you! I want to fight with that woman!"

"..."

Yin Jiyan made a fuss endlessly, and Jiang Yuanjin took a lot of effort to drag him away from Yuqing Palace.They came to a family at the foot of a nearby mountain and planned to stay overnight.

"Huh?" Yin Jiyan had settled down at this moment, seeing Jiang Yuanjin's actions, he was thoughtful. "It's not too late, we still have time to go to the restaurant in the city, but you choose to stay here now..." He leaned close to Jiang Yuanjin, his eyes sparkling, and said, "You plan to sneak into Yuqing Palace at night to find Jiang Shu ?"

Jiang Yuanjin smiled faintly and said, "I can't hide it from you."

"Tsk tsk, you really care about her, and you still meet in the middle of the night." Yin Jiyan said sourly, "But do you know where she lives? Although Yuqing Palace is not bigger than Yongri Palace, but if you really want to walk, plus the black lights are blind." Yes, it is very likely that you will not find it until dawn.”

Jiang Yuanjin looked quite confident: "It's okay, I have my own plan."

Yin Jiyan asked curiously, "What's the plan?"

"you guess."

"Don't guess! Just tell me!"

"I will not say."

Yin Jiyan was dissatisfied: "Why are you like this!"

Jiang Yuanjin squinted at him and said, "Who told you to make such a fuss just now, I won't tell you."

After Yin Jiyan calmed down, he also knew that he had indeed gone through a bit just now.He held his breath and said in his heart, if you don't tell me, you won't tell. Anyway, I'll follow you all the way to see what tricks you can play...

It is night without moon.

At the beginning of Haishi, the faint candlelights on several stone lampstands along the road of Yuqing Palace were flickering, and the lights were wrapped in a dark night that could not be melted away, unable to illuminate the road ahead.There was no sound and silence all around.

There was a person traveling alone in the night, rushing in one direction without any hesitation.

He stopped in front of a hidden stone door, observed for a while, and found that the mechanism of the stone door had been removed by someone, and it could be opened effortlessly as long as he pushed upwards.

The man had doubts in his heart, but he remained calm, entered the doorway, and walked inward in the dark.

After walking for more than ten steps, the road gradually widened, and the masonry walls on both sides were built evenly. There were candlesticks along the wall at a height of one person from the ground.

About the time of a cup of tea, he walked to the end, and in front of him was a spacious brick platform about three people high from the ground, about ten steps vertically and horizontally.

There are two people on the platform floor.A man was lying on the ground in white clothes, his eyes were closed, and his face was lifeless. It was a man.There was a person kneeling beside him, his whole body was wrapped in a black robe, most of his body was facing away from the entrance.

Sensing the movement, the kneeling person moved his body and stood there for a moment before slowly turning around and showing his face to the person coming.

"Jiang Yuanjin, long time no see."
