Green scales

Chapter 38

Yao Jue opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss.At this moment, Qing Yu was also shocked in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

What did Yao Jue mean?That little demon surnamed Xia really has something to do with them? !How did Yao Jue know the worries in his heart?Could it be... something was wrong with me during this period, Yao Jue and Situ Ling knew something inside?

Qing Yu didn't dare to think about it. This undoubtedly meant that Yao Jue and Situ Ling had an accident and deliberately concealed him, and even... she may have lost some of her memories.

The air froze for a while, Qing Yu stopped at the door for a long time, and then brought in the hangover soup that had been left aside and had cooled.

Situ Ling hissed and rubbed his forehead with his hands, obviously the remaining anger was still there, but now his head hurts, his ears are buzzing continuously, and his eyes are dark.

Qing Yu handed the hangover soup to Yao Jue, Yao Jue took it silently and helped Situ Ling to the bedside, took a spoon and gave him small mouthfuls to feed him.

Qing Yu stood aside, lightly brushing the edge of the table with light white fingertips, wanted to ask a few times, but gave up when it came to her mouth.

Situ Ling drank most of the drink in Yao Jue's hand, although he was still aggrieved, but because of Qing Yu's appearance, he had no choice but to suppress the matter for now.

Qing Yu thought for a moment, but decided to ask her own questions later, and said, "The fox clan has defected."

"Which one?" Situ Ling rubbed his temples with some headaches, and said hoarsely.

"Hu Yun." Qing Yu said.

"He and his relatives?" Yao Jue asked.

"More than that, most of the foxes in Suzaku Mountain have run away."

"Is there any leftovers?" Situ Ling frowned.

"They're all old foxes who haven't been weaned and can't walk." Qing Yu said lightly: "Hu Yun has almost won over all the fox tribes in Zhuque Mountain."

"Where did you go?"

"Tonight Huo Ling noticed something strange at the border, so he specially sent someone to report it. Unfortunately, they escaped from Suzaku Mountain because they were a step too late. Someone seemed to guide them outside the mountain, and a thick fog was set up. It was difficult for Huo Ling's spies to distinguish for a while. , but I should be able to report the exact news tomorrow." Qing Yu walked to the table and sat down, raised her hand and poured a cup of tea.

Before Situ Ling could open his mouth, Yao Jue was startled and asked hurriedly, "They escaped from Zhuque Mountain?"

Qing Yu nodded.

"Too bad, Xia Xinglan should still be at the foot of Suzaku Mountain." Yao Jue's expression froze, and he said, the expressions of Situ Ling and Qing Yu changed when he said those words.

After much difficulty, Situ Ling's complexion turned dark like the bottom of a pot.

Qing Yu was startled, Xia Xinglan is still at the foot of Suzaku Mountain?He... hasn't left yet?

"Then... I'll go and have a look." Qing Yu stood up and said hesitantly, but when she was about to turn around and leave, Yao Jue called her to stop her.

"It's fine for me and Situ to go, you can go back and rest first." Yao Jue looked embarrassed, and quietly tugged at the corner of Situ Ling's sleeve with his hand, just now Qing Yu just learned that Xia Xinglan has something to do with him, so go now, Yao Jue Worrying about backfired, why not let Qing Yu calm down first.

Situ Ling naturally understood the importance of it, so he complied with a few sentences.

"Your Majesty! Someone is begging to see you and the queen." A little demon outside the hall hurriedly ran over, panting and cautiously said.

Situ Ling frowned, and was about to say no, but Yao Jue pressed his shoulder with one hand, and said to the little demon outside the door, "What's that man's name?"

"Someone said that his name is Xia Xinglan. He has something to see His Majesty and the Queen. He... He also caught a fox."

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the hall all looked at each other, and Situ Ling said without hesitation: "Let him in."

The little demon took the order, turned around and left, and after a while, turned back again, followed by a tall figure.

Standing in the hall, Qing Yu squinted her eyes slightly, and saw that figure walking steadily, coming at a leisurely pace, followed by a dark shadow.

The little demon led him to a place where he retreated tactfully.Xia Xinglan stood outside the hall, his tall and straight body like a sharp sword, but he didn't enter the hall, he just raised his hand and threw the black shadow into it.

With a muffled sound, the black shadow hit the cold ground, shivering uncontrollably.

It was a white fox, but the original snow-white fur was stained with blood at this moment, and it crawled on the ground trembling uncontrollably, its limbs trembling in a disfigured manner, and it couldn't even stand up.

Qing Yu was the first to come back to her senses, and said, "You met the Fox Clan?"

Xia Xinglan took a deep look at Qing Yu, thinking that he would stare coldly and glaring like before, but Qing Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously avoided his gaze.

Xia Xinglan's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, when I came to the Temple of Ten Thousand Monsters, I met a group of foxes running around at night. They looked terrified. The white foxes couldn't help but want to kill me when they saw me. Unfortunately, they were not my opponents." Xia Xinglan's tone was flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter. so-so.

Situ Ling's face was complicated and he didn't say a word. Seeing this, Yao Jue asked, "What about the other foxes?"

"Run away." Xia Xinglan said, "After I caught the white foxes, they ran away."

Qing Yu cast her eyes on the white fox, and said: "That Hu Yun is willing, the granddaughter is gone, and the grandson is gone."

"Throw it into the dungeon, and I will interrogate it later." Situ Ling waved his hand, and then two attendants took out a black rope that was as thick as a thumb, and tied the white fox away.

Xia Xinglan took a deep breath, took out the previous letter from his bosom, his tone was calm but trembling, "Is what you said in the letter true?"

Qing Yu and Situ Ling looked at Yao Jue together.

Yao Jue nodded silently, the hope in Xia Xinglan's eyes was completely wiped out, she lowered her head dejectedly, and said in a hoarse voice: "In this case, I should go back to Jianzong to meet my master, I can't stay."

Qingyu was startled when she heard the words, Jianzong?Master?Isn't Xia Xinglan Yao Jue's relative?Could it be...

"You're throwing yourself into a trap by going back now." Yao Jue knew Xia Xinglan had this intention, so it was not surprising. "Jianzong has already changed master, and you should be able to guess the new master."

Xia Xinglan's lips twitched, and he closed his eyes and slowly said two words: "Liu Shu."

Yao Jue nodded, "Liu Shu poisoned the suzerain of your Sword Sect and replaced him. Now his next step must be you."

Xia Xinglan opened his eyes, his eyes were full of tiredness and sorrow, his originally tall figure looked a little decadent under the reflection of the moonlight and candlelight.

"I have the same brotherhood with him. I can't just sit back and watch him go astray. Master once asked me to take care of him. If that's the case, I should go back and stop him."

Yao Jue didn't reply, and the hall fell silent for a while.Situ Ling simply closed his eyes and folded his arms and leaned against the bed, as if he had made up his mind not to get involved in this matter.

Hearing this, Qing Yu understands no matter how confused she is.Not only is Xia Xinglan not a monster, but he is also related to Jianzong, that is to say, he is a Taoist priest, and his master must also be a big shot in Jianzong.

But since Yao Jue can trust him, there is no serious problem.

After a long time, Qing Yu said slowly: "I will go with you."

As soon as these words came out, Situ Ling opened his eyes wide and looked at Qing Yu incredulously. Yao Jue also frowned slightly, a little worried.

Xia Xinglan, on the other hand, was completely dazed, not sure what Qing Yu was thinking, so she could only agree or refuse for a while.

Seeing this, Qing Yu coughed lightly, and said, "You probably won't tell me about my missing memory, so I can only look for it myself."

It is naturally impossible for Situ Ling and Yao Jue to tell Qing Yu directly that you lost your inner alchemy for the person next to you, and that you had to drink the water of Wangchuan when your life was hanging by a thread, causing your past to be forgotten.

Even if they dare to say it, Qing Yu has to believe it.Now Qing Yu only has a very slight feeling for Xia Xinglan, no matter what, it is impossible for Qing Yu to immediately accept such absurd explanation, even if it is the truth.

Situ Ling and Yao Jue looked at each other and turned their heads slightly, as if they had reached a consensus.

"Okay, be careful."

Qing Yu nodded in response, pursed her lips and thought for a while, then asked: "When do you plan to get married?"

This time it was Yao Jue's turn to cough uncontrollably, Situ Ling said in a low voice, "It also requires that person to be willing to get married."

Yao Jue ignored Situ Ling's plaintive tone, "About the twelfth lunar month, it's still early."

Qing Yu nodded, ignoring Situ Ling together. "I remember."

Xia Xinglan hadn't recovered from the fact that she was going to be with Qing Yu again, she was still stuck at the door like a wooden stake.

Qing Yu brushed past him, and Xia Xinglan suddenly woke up. Fang opened his mouth, but was speechless, and could only watch Qing Yuyuan walking away speechlessly.

"Ruan Ruan, take Xia Xinglan to Dongyuan." As soon as Yao Jue finished speaking, a furry head popped out from the door. It was the rabbit demon who was sent to deliver a message to Xia Xinglan earlier.

The rabbit demon kept nodding his head, his two big ears dangling non-stop, and then led Xia Xinglan the way with bouncing jumps.

"You come with me."

Xia Xinglan only let out a long breath, and followed the rabbit demon.

Immediately there were only Yao Jue and Situ Ling staring at each other in the hall. Just as Situ Ling was about to say something, Yao Jue yanked the quilt under his buttocks and fell asleep covering himself.

Situ Ling rubbed the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, so he could only lie down with dumbfounded anger, but childishly refused to ask Yao Jue for a bedding.

Xia Xinglan's whole day was full of ups and downs, until his head was covered with a soft pillow, he gradually felt sleepy, and gradually fell asleep anxiously.

On the second day, Xia Xinglan woke up at dawn, washed up early, and rushed to the gate of Wan Yao Temple to wait.After a night of precipitation, he was still in a daze at the moment, knowing that it was still early and Qing Yu would not come so early, but when he didn't see that thin figure for a long time, the loss was unavoidable, so he asked himself several times:

Does Qingyu really plan to go to Jianzong with him?Does he regret it now, so should I go first?

Xia Xinglan was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth nonstop for a moment, feeling unavoidably a little scared in her heart.

Yesterday... What Qing Yu said seemed to indicate that he knew about his amnesia, so when he regained his memory, or after knowing the cause and effect, would he hate him deeply?

The more Xia Xinglan thought about it, the more worried he became. It seemed as if he had waited for several springs and autumns before the sun appeared from the top of the mountain tomorrow.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horseshoes rattling, accompanied by the sound of the carriage walking, and then a very pleasant voice sounded, "What are you doing standing here? Come up."

Xia Xinglan turned around to look, and saw an extremely luxurious carriage parked behind him, surrounded by jewels and pearls, the body was so huge that it could seat four or five grown men, and even the horses pulling the carriage were his own. The horse breeds that I have never seen before, one black and one white, are all tall, with shiny fur, smooth muscles but not too knotted, snorting impatiently at this moment, and the horseshoes are constantly pawing the ground.

Xia Xinglan looked at the pair of white and slender hands that raised the curtain, and got into the carriage without thinking.

Qing Yu changed into a blue uniform, which didn't have too many fancy styles, and the fabric was extremely light, and it looked like a fairy on him, like a tree facing the wind.

After Xia Xinglan sat down, the carriage began to move, first at a slow pace, then faster and faster, and finally the wheels were suspended in the air, straight up into the sky!

Along the way, Xia Xinglan and Qing Yu kept an arm's distance deliberately, and both of them looked at the sides of the carriage with different thoughts.Needle drop can be heard inside the car.

"you"

"I"

Qing Yu: "..."

Xia Xinglan: "You speak first"

Qing Yu turned her head sideways, "It's nothing."

Xia Xinglan nodded in a daze, and sat upright, awkwardly like a young man who just fell in love, sitting with the one he loves but can only be dumbfounded and say nothing.

Along the way, neither of them said a word until the horse neighed and the carriage landed, and the two got out of the carriage one after the other.

In front of him is Jianzong.

When Qing Yufu got out of the car, he felt a familiar feeling, but he couldn't tell the source, so he could only walk depressedly.

Xia Xinglan couldn't help but look at Bai Po outside Jianzong, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Master... the apprentice is late."

Suddenly, the sound of rumbling drums came from within the Sword Sect, startling the birds in the forest, and a group of them flew to the sky in a black mass.

The sound of the drums gradually became more and more rapid, powerful, and with a hint of killing intent, it swept across the sky and covered the earth.

Qing Yu frowned slightly, and looked sideways at Xia Xinglan, meaning what was going on.

Xia Xinglan's complexion also became ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "This is the drum for beating crimes. It is the sound of the drum used to seal the crimes against those disciples who have committed the most heinous crimes and humiliated their teachers. The drums for beating crimes have not been invited out for many years. Come on." When I asked to move...or because..."

When the words came to her lips, Xia Xinglan stopped her voice suddenly, and Qing Yu couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"Because of my master..." Xia Xinglan's face was heavy, and I also heard others say, "My master... colluded with the demon clan in an attempt to steal the secret treasure of the Sword Sect. At that time, the suzerain was furious. They all gathered together and wanted to execute my master."

"Your master is living a good life, and his status is not low." Qing Yu said out loud.

"That's because..." Xia Xinglan's face was complicated, "Because my master killed the monster with his own hands, and frankly said that it was just to deceive the monster's trust, not to make friends with the monster. And get the elixir, and then practice more. It's leaps and bounds."

Qing Yu was silent, Xia Xinglan was also a little embarrassed.After a while, the drumbeat paused, and Qing Yu said slowly: "Then today, whose crime is it going to be sentenced again?"

Xia Xinglan shook his head with a heavy expression.
