Chapter 75 meet
Qiao Baiyue was also silent for a long while, before she said: "In the beginning, the white lady that Ren Yazi told me had a very happy ending, but after I learned how to read and read the original work of the first generation of the national teacher, I realized that the white lady was They were imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda and could not escape for a hundred years, until Xu Xian died of old age, and the two of them never saw each other again."

Lin Lan shook her head slightly and said, "It's just a story. There are many versions. Tang Tianyuan just wrote the most impressive tragic version."

He asked again: "What happened next?"

Qiao Baiyue was silent for a while, before she said: "Later... the eldest sister went out of the valley and found me, and wanted to take me back."

As the dream picture continued to change, she slowly said: "On the way, we passed the local county town. The eldest sister saw that I was still nostalgic, so she changed my face for me and took me to the local county town for a day. The eldest sister that day was completely different from usual, she looked like a real human being, she could lie, pretend, and smirk, I asked her why?"

"She said... people are like this."

Qiao Baiyue stared intently at the changing scenes of the dream, Jian Shui Qiu's pupils were filled with memories, "I had a great time that day, my eldest sister took me to eat a lot of delicious food, and showed me a lot of interesting things, bought me nice clothes..."

Lin Lan silently watched the changing scenes in the dream.

In the picture, the warm picture of the disguised girl and her sister playing in the crowd kept flashing. She smiled happily and seemed to have forgotten the pain of being deceived before.

"It was the Lantern Festival that night. There were thousands of lights. It was really beautiful. I had never had such a good time."

Qiao Baiyue said softly: "But at night, the eldest sister took me to see the other side of the world... I saw someone forcing a girl into prostitution, I saw the woman who was hung up and whipped, I saw an official who didn't treat people People, seeing people who are being trafficked by human teeth like me... The eldest sister said that the world is not as beautiful as I thought, if I can't protect myself, I will only experience these glooms."

Hearing this, Lin Lan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Lantern Festival..."

"Then, on the night of the Lantern Festival, my eldest sister took me out of that county town."

Qiao Baiyue seemed to be immersed in the memory, "I'm afraid, but I also miss it. After I left the city, I kept looking back at the brightly lit city, and my eldest sister covered my eyes."

The scene in the dream suddenly moved.

The snake girl gently covered the eyes of the stunning girl, and said softly: "Little sister, keep going, don't look back... the thousands of lamps behind you are not your destination, we should go home."

The stunning girl shed two lines of tears, but never looked back.

"Later, we returned to Qingmu Mountain."

As the dream changed, Qiao Baiyue slowly said: "Eldest sister and the others are all comforting me, and I have decided not to go out again, just living in the valley with 21 older sisters, maybe not as beautiful as the world, but not as good as the world dark."

"But... I'm so stupid."

She slowly closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to look at the pictures of those memories again, "The commotion caused by my going out this time attracted the attention of several demon practitioners, one of whom was very advanced. Fully awakened, I can't help him at all, until he killed my four sisters, my blood was not fully awakened, but the demon practitioner also escaped."

"At that time, I was so angry that I chased him out without even thinking about it."

Qiao Baiyue closed her eyes: "But that demon cultivator was extremely cunning, he deliberately attracted Jingtiantai's attention, and made me fall into the trap set up by Jingtiantai, but he didn't expect that Jingtiantai's calculations were even better. Caught me and killed him on the spot."

Lin Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Jingtiantai caught you?"

He was a little stunned and said: "I understand, it seems...you joined Jingtiantai?"

"……Correct."

Qiao Baiyue opened her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The head of Jingtiantai discovered that I was a Dream Snake and thought that my innate supernatural powers could be used to great effect, so he accepted me and promised me that as long as I worked for Jingtiantai for five years, Just give me back my freedom, and let me go back to Qingmu Mountain to meet my sisters...but I can’t tell you about the deeper matters, otherwise I will break my oath.”

Lin Lan said calmly, "Just pick what you can say."

"Afterwards... nothing more."

Qiao Baiyue shook her head slightly, and said: "In the past few years, I have worked for Jingtiantai..., and by the way, I have gained a certain status in the academy, and I have also arranged a formation on Qingmu Mountain to hide the valley, so as to avoid being discovered. I only hope that the five-year period will come sooner, so that I can return to my sisters sooner."

Speaking of this, she took a deep breath and said: "But when I went back to Qingmu Mountain to visit a few days ago, I suddenly found that the formation in the valley was broken, and the seventeen sisters were gone."

After hearing this, Lin Lan probably understood what happened next.

"I rushed back to Chonghua City at full speed, intending to use Jingtiantai's intelligence network to search for the whereabouts of my sisters, but on the day I came back, I found that my seventeen sisters were all captured in Chonghua City by the bald donkeys from Faguang Temple. It was given to the rich and powerful as playthings."

Qiao Baiyue's face was cold, and she gritted her teeth and said: "I went to ask Jingtiantai for help, but Venerable Yaoguang told me that the five-year period between me and Jingtiantai has come, unless I continue to work for Jingtiantai, otherwise Jingtiantai will never won't help me."

Lin Lan was silent for a while, and said, "Have you ever thought that the news that your sisters are hiding in Qingmu Mountain may have been deliberately leaked to Faguang Temple by Jingtiantai."

"I got it."

Qiao Baiyue said slowly: "But I always hated the things that Jingtiantai did. If my sisters were not threatened by Jingtiantai, the first lord would personally make a heart demon oath with me. Give me back my freedom, and let my sisters go...otherwise, I won't agree even if I die, but..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Lan continued for her: "But if you volunteered, it would be different, and your sisters were not caught by Jingtiantai."

Qiao Baiyue laughed at herself bitterly, and said: "I'm still too naive. I never thought that people's hearts would be so dangerous, and I never thought that such a big man as the head of Jingtiantai would plot against me like this."

Lin Lan looked at her and said softly, "Perhaps, you are more useful to Jingtiantai than you imagined."

Qiao Baiyue's eyes were a little sad.

After being silent for a while, she said: "I don't want to work for Jingtiantai anymore, but I also want to save my sisters... Fortunately, I accidentally met a good friend of the princess, and for some reason, she is like a girl to me." They are as kind as my sisters, that night I used the secret blood technique to trace and found that my sisters were being treated as playthings in Prince Ning's Mansion, I forced myself to calm down, and asked the princess to help me save them late at night."

She sighed, "The princess also agreed to send someone to help me rescue my sisters early the next morning, but I didn't expect that the fifteen dignitaries who had played with my sister at the entrance ceremony of the school the next morning would be there on the spot. To die suddenly, or to die from the poison of the Jieyou snake, I knew at that time that I couldn't wash it off completely."

The poison of those 15 people was as invisible as spring wind turning into rain, and the person who poisoned him was the head of Jingtiantai.

This method has already pushed Qiao Baiyue into a desperate situation, and naturally it is to force her to work for Jingtiantai again.

"If the princess hadn't happened to be there to save her, I'm afraid my fifteen sisters would have been taken away by Jingtiantai and used as hostages to threaten me." Qiao Baiyue smiled wryly.

Lin Lan was thoughtful.

At the entrance ceremony of the Academy that day, there was indeed a 'Master Xiao' present at Jingtiantai.

At the time when the incident happened, Master Xiao came forward to arrest the fifteen snake demon women. If the master of the Yue pavilion hadn't come forward to stop him, and the princess would also appear forcefully, the fifteen snake demon women would really be caught. It's rooftop.

"Fortunately, now your fifteen older sisters have been rescued."

Lin Lan said softly: "There are two older sisters. They will fall into my hands after meeting the emperor and the national teacher in the hall tomorrow. I will hand them back to you at that time."

Qiao Baiyue knelt down again, bowed her head in thanks and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Immediately, she looked up at Lin Lan again, and said, "However, Jingtiantai will never let me go easily. They dare to hand over people to you. My two sisters must have the means left by Jingtiantai. Forced me to submit, and asked Mr. Lin to take care of my two sisters during the introduction, and the princess will ask someone to help to deal with it, so as not to overwhelm the snake."

"I see."

Lin Lan nodded slightly, and then asked in doubt: "However, the head of the Jingtiantai is suspected of murdering the princess. Didn't His Majesty say anything?"

Qiao Baiyue was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said: "I don't know, but that chief is the Great Yu Zhushi, no matter how big a mistake he made, His Majesty would not be able to convict him easily, or... there is no other way. Come down."

Lin Lanruo thought for a while, and said, "It's almost the same thing that needs to be said, and I basically understand it, so I'll go first."

"Yes." Qiao Baiyue said softly.

……

Lin Lan slowly opened his eyes, in a state of tranquility, silently thinking about all the information he had just learned.

Looking at it now, since the Dream Snake is unique, and no other snake demon can sneak into the Dreamland Sea, the one who kills him in the finale can only be the Dream Snake.

It seems... in the few days before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, something will happen again, which will cause Dream Snake to kill him.

As for what it is, it is also obvious.

Qiao Baiyue had already said that unless her two older sisters were killed by him, she would not be able to kill him, so...it must be guaranteed that the deaths of the two snake girls had nothing to do with him.

However, judging from the relationship between Qiao Baiyue's sisters, if the head of Jingtiantai used the lives of the two snake girls to blackmail Qiao Baiyue into killing him, maybe Qiao Baiyue would obey the order?
In any case, we must find a way to change.

"It's up to you."

Lin Lan restrained her tranquility, looked down at the little black cat sleeping on her lap, stretched out her hand to stroke it twice, and said softly: "You have eaten so much, you have to play some role, right?"

The little black cat curled up on his lap, squinting comfortably.

……

Dawn broke the next day, just as the dawn was slowly rising.

Although today is only the tenth day of the first month of the first lunar month, and it is not yet the day when the court opens on the sixteenth day of the first month, but according to the usual practice, today is the second day of the Chengyuan Examination. His Majesty the Emperor and the National Teacher will meet with the head of the Chengyuan Hall, which is related to the future It is of course a very important matter for the great master of cultivation in Dayu, and a morning court is inevitable.

Even if it is not compared to the Great Dynasty, it is quite grand.

At Maoshi, accompanied by the boundless bells, hundreds of courtiers and courtiers entered the Meridian Gate in person, standing in line with civil and military personnel on the front steps of the hall, and some of them stepped into the Jinluan Hall.

Not long after, Emperor Yu also sat high on the dragon chair, overlooking the officials below.

Emperor Yu was old, and his hair on the temples had already been stained with silver frost. His old face was covered by twelve crowns. Although his majesty was still there, he could still see a bit of old age.

And beside Emperor Yu's left hand, there was an old man wearing the Xuanpao of the National Teacher, the Langya Jade Pendant hanging from his waist, and the Tianyuan Crown on his head.

This old man has chicken skin and white hair, and his half-closed eyes are cloudy. He looks a little older than Emperor Yu, as if he will reach his end at any time, but he still stands upright, his spine seems to support the whole sky of Dayu. .

Impressively, he is Dayu's contemporary national teacher and the master of Renzong.

And next to Emperor Yu's right hand, also at the same level as His Majesty, is an elegant man in white clothes like snow. He didn't wear court clothes, and he didn't even reach the crown. Wearing the most gorgeous and noble gowns.

He simply stood there, making all civil and military officials, clan princes dare not look up.

Because he is the first statue of Jingtiantai, one of Dayu's pillars of the country, and he is also the youngest great supernatural being in Dayu!
"Xuan Chengyuan Hall head, Lin Lan enters the hall."

On the court hall, the princes of Gungun are lined up on both sides, and the crown prince and King Xuan are respectively at the top of the hundred officials.

I saw a figure appearing in front of the gate of the hall, it was a young man dressed in a white robe and a jade crown on his head. Under the eyes of many courtiers, he walked into the hall expressionlessly step by step.

"Chonghua student Lin Lan, see Your Majesty."

After stopping, Lin Lan bowed slightly towards the emperor sitting above him, cupped his hands and pushed forward, bowing.

He is a cultivator, not a courtier, and no matter whether he is meeting a prince or a prince, or his majesty, he does not need to make a grand ceremony.

As for the great supernatural beings such as the national teacher and the head of the Jingtiantai, if they did not involve the face of the royal family, Emperor Yu should be the one who should salute.

"I heard that Lin Xuezheng has only been enrolled in Chonghua for four months?" Emperor Yu asked.

The old national teacher standing on the left side chuckled and said: "That's true. Since Lin Xuezheng entered the palace on the tenth day of September last year, when he took the Chengyuan examination, it happened to be only four months. This son failed in the examination. It was a supernatural being who defeated a Jingtiantai."

"Oh?" Emperor Yu looked at the head of the Jingtiantai next to him, and said softly: "Ji Shouzun, can this happen?"

The leader of Jingtiantai, who was dressed in white like snow, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "It is true, I have heard that such a genius, I can't help but come to see it with my own eyes today, and now I see it, it is really extraordinary."

As he spoke, he said softly, "Your Majesty, I have a request."

His Majesty said: "Ji Shouzun, please tell me."

"Seeing you today, I like Lin Lan very much."

The head of Jingtiantai looked at Lin Lan below, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I want to accept this son as a disciple, please allow your majesty."
