Chapter 14 Liuji Hall

All clans were very worried about Lu Yaoting's incident, and after exchanging breath, they hurried back to their respective cities.The sun gradually left the sea. Ze Yu's eyes were moist and she was exhausted. It seemed that the previous breath exchange had not improved her body. She was breathing rapidly, but her expression was unusually calm.

No one knew what she was thinking.Life under water has always been peaceful, but this incident has caused people to panic, which has been the case since ancient times.

"Ze Yu, I have explained to you about the blood sacrifice. When you go to land this time, you must follow the warnings of the masters carefully. Do not violate any of them. Your life will be in danger if you are not careful. I am afraid that no one in the city can help you in the least. .”

Yu Zhe handed the breath-changing talisman to Ze Yu's hand and said: "Be sure to carry it with you, keep your shoulders rising and falling naturally, and let people around you know that you breathe like them. If you are not used to eating food on land, you can eat less, but Qian Qian Don't let others think that you don't need to eat. Human beings don't like things that are different from themselves. They will be afraid and attack you until you disappear. Of course, they may also isolate you, make you intolerable, and finally leave on their own. You Don’t blame them, it’s human nature and that’s why they’ve survived on land to this day.”

After speaking, Yuzhe demonstrated several times the natural movement of shoulders. Under water, this movement looked funny and unfamiliar.

"Yes, City Lord, Ze Yu understands."

"To protect yourself is to protect everyone in the city. You must remember, don't hurt humans and don't be hurt by humans."

"Don't trust humans or be fooled by them." Jing Suyang grabbed the words.

"Yes, Master Jing." Zeyu turned around and nodded respectfully.

"Same as the interest exchange day, you must return to the water every full moon night. If you can't come back, the interest exchange charm cannot protect you. No matter what happens, no matter how embarrassing it is for you, remember, You must come back. Only when you return to the water can we help you. We will always protect you. Ze Yu, don’t forget that the masters and Lord Jade City will always protect you. The only thing you have to do is to protect you no matter how difficult it is. return."

"You must keep Master Ye's words in mind. You can find a solution to any difficulty. If you can't come back, no one can help you."

Yuzhe remembered that he had talked to Ye Lianchi like this many years ago. The scene at that time was so similar to what he saw before him, except that all the disciples were there that day, and no one would worry about something terrible happening.Back then, it was just to solve the crisis on land, but Ye Lianchi was full of confidence. She was the best student, shining brighter than the stars outside the water.No one thought that she would encounter any difficulties. If the people from Liujitang hadn't chased her to the shore of Lingjiang River that year, and if she hadn't been hesitant, how could there have been so many things that people didn't want to recall.

Now Zeyu is not as good as Xiaochi back then.Fortunately, she seems to have confidence beyond her years and an equally clear heart.She just hoped that she could put aside the matter of Master Sang's whereabouts for the time being, and not let it become a concern and disturb her mood.

This is not easy. For Ze Yu, the leader of the Sang clan is missing, Xiaoyu's life and death are uncertain, Yuan Chan was brought back to Beiming by Yelubo, and how could Ze Yu let go of these things in Wancheng so easily with his kind heart.

"City Lord, send her up as soon as you finish the instructions." Ye Lianchi reminded in a low voice.

"After arriving on land, you need to go to Jinling Palace to find the prince. He will tell you about the difficulties they encounter. Just try your best to help. Be careful along the way. The people in Liuji Hall may soon be aware of your appearance. Qian You must avoid these people. Although the prince can hide your identity for you, you must be careful yourself. Liujitang has been a famous family that eradicates evil and upholds justice in all dynasties. If he knew that you were not the same kind, he would definitely Eradicate you to prevent future troubles."

"Why does Liujitang want to eradicate us? We also eradicate evil and uphold justice before extending a helping hand to help the mainland royal family. Why do we want to eliminate future troubles?" Ze Yu asked in confusion.

She has heard rumors about Liuji Hall since she was a child. In those stories, Liuji Hall has many names. Sometimes it is Wuji Sect, which knows all the martial arts in the world; sometimes it is Suishan Sect, which hangs pots to help the world, and Mountain Forest Various kinds of medicinal materials are planted here; sometimes it is a military mansion to guard the border and resist foreign enemies.These sects are famous and respected in every story. Although they are different, one thing has never changed. The Liuji Hall has always pursued the aliens to the end and never tolerated them.They are willing to give decoction to murderers who have committed many evil deeds to save their lives.He has no mercy for the aliens.

"This is their destiny. Everyone has their own destiny. The destiny of Liuji Hall is to be our enemy forever."

Ye Lianchi lowered her face, wishing she could close her eyes, neither listening nor seeing. She didn't want Ze Yu to experience the traces Liuji Hall left in her life, but after all, it was unavoidable. Once ashore, the soul of Liujitang will awaken. When these two forces meet, they will inevitably kill the other.Since ancient times, there has been no way to escape this fate.The best and only way is not to encounter them, come back immediately after completing the mission, and don't stay on the land no matter how beautiful it is.No matter how nice the people on land are, don’t miss them.

She held back her heartache and tried to stay calm. She wanted to tell Ze Yu again and again, no matter how many times she told him, it would never be too many.

"The best way is not to try to unlock this iron lock of fate. Stay away from them, and even if you are discovered, don't admit it. Although Liuji Hall will not let go of any alien, it will never kill them. They can be considered good people if they die innocent people.”

"A good person? Only you would say such a thing."

Jing Suyang interrupted Ye Lianchi sharply.

"He is not a good person at all. He only looks at the surface and distinguishes good and evil based on race. How can this be considered justice? A foreigner who does good things will not be regarded as justice, and a bad person who does all bad things will be compassionate as long as he puts down his butcher knife. Great compassion. This is their view of good and evil, and this is the true face of Liuji Hall."

"You can't say that, Master Jing."

"City Lord, don't be merciful. This kind of kindness will only harm everyone. We know clearly that the messengers are the future of the creatures under the sea, but we don't hesitate to let them go up to help those who hate us in their bones. We will give our best to them. But they can’t even protect us. Can’t we even hate them?”

When Yu Zhe heard what Jing Suyang said, he couldn't stop him. It was normal for him to have hatred in his heart. He was probably not the only one who held hatred for what happened back then.How could I not have thought that what Liujitang did was truly unforgivable? However, the relationship between Liujitang and Yuancheng had not changed since Yao and Shun. Even though they were incompatible, they had their own reasons.

He sighed softly and said, "Ze Yu, there is no need to hate first. Kindness is better than hatred at any time. Things in this world have their own conclusion."

"Yes, City Lord."

Ze Yu understood Yu Zhe's words and Jing Suyang's worries. She was determined to complete the task and live up to the teachings of her masters.

Dawn is fleeting, and the morning light sweeps away the gloom of the earth. Everyone's heart will feel lighter at such a moment.

Ye Xiaolou was sitting by the pure white water. The water was like a mirror, but his appearance could not be reflected.Ten miles away from Yangzhou Road in the spring breeze, there is endless hatred, who leans against the wall and complains late.

No matter how beautiful Jinling City is, on this day of every month, he will return to Jingwang Tower. Even if the third prince is seriously ill, he should never leave. As soon as the time comes, he will go straight down the Huaihe River to become the owner of Mirror Tower. .

On this day, he didn't have to look after the weak Xiao Jin in the palace, nor did he have to hear what rewards the eldest prince had received; he didn't have to make suggestions for disaster relief, and he didn't have to endure Xiao Ling's arrogant and rude provocations.He had had enough of this family. Most of the things in the world were just family affairs of this family, and he didn't bother to listen to them.

But he must stand by the prince's side to protect him from death, and he must protect this family and their chaotic ambition and arrogance.

This was her wish. He could not hate the people she did not want to hate. He valued the people she wanted to protect even to death, more seriously than herself.But if one day he finds a way to save her, he will be willing to give up everything he has now and everything he protects, even his own life.

There is nothing worth cherishing, especially this world.It's just that the time hasn't come yet.But it seemed that someone was turning the wheel of fate for him. He didn't know whether the force turning the wheel was friend or foe, and he didn't want to know.As long as we can find a way to save her, as long as she can live innocently.Ye Xiaolou couldn't think of anything he didn't want to do, so he was very calm.Even if many of the strange people brought by Nightingale were just swindling gangsters, he would not really punish Nightingale. This person was framed by his junior sister and expelled from the school, and he was also marked with a mark that could never be erased.There was a butterfly with a broken wing on the left side of his face, which he could not erase until his death.A disciple of the No. 1 sect in the world can no longer walk innocently in the sun or stand upright among the crowd. How painful is this person's heart, and what kind of punishment can hurt him?Death may be insignificant in the face of these pains.

Since he is still alive, there must be some unfinished business that must be completed.If Jing Xianglou can help him accomplish his unfinished business, Ye Xiaolou should give him his full help.He understands this pain, which is worse than death.

Regardless of the accuracy of the information, Nightingale is undoubtedly the fastest in the world in gathering information. The 36 hummingbirds under his command are sleepless, as if they have 72 eyes patrolling the sky, and 72 ears listening to the sound of the wind.

When the morning light receded and the golden color was revealed, he came to Ye Xiaolou and saluted respectfully. Half of his face was full of life, and the butterfly with broken wings on the other half also cut off half of his life.

"Say it." Ye Xiashang's white clothes were spotless, and his voice was clear and leisurely.

Nightingale's heart was finally relieved. For these years, on this day of every month, no matter how far away he was, he would rush back to the mirror building and guard the door.

"The situation in Sui'an Mansion has been investigated clearly. There is indeed unpolluted water there. The eldest prince is safe in it. He even bathes in fragrant flowers every day."

Nightingale said truthfully.

"Sui'an Mansion? Are there any servants in the mansion who are sick?"

"I haven't seen any signs of skin ulcers on the soldiers or maids."

"It rains continuously in Suishan, and most of the people are sick. Why doesn't even a single servant in Sui'an Mansion get the slightest disease? Could it be that he has taken some medicine?"

"Does the poster think this matter is related to the scholar we are looking for?"

"If he wants to gamble but has no money, and treating the poor cannot solve the problem, he will of course look for rich people. The wealthy families in Suishan are far less than those in Huaizuo, and most of them are royal nobles who have granted land. Prince Yan's Mansion guards the southwest Border, fighting against foreigners, originally loyal to Hou Shu, but later loyal to the current emperor. The rewards given to them by the emperor every year are personally allocated by important ministers, and they become more and more generous every year. Liuyuanzhuang's bank in Jinling is secretly managed by princes from various palaces on their behalf. , officials and businessmen are in harmony. The owner of the village, Liu Shiqing, is a low-key and cautious man. It is said that he has been a vegetarian all year round and has not spent any more money on himself. However, his children have caused trouble for him in recent years. They have been generous and often come to Guangling to look for food. Have fun. If you want to treat diseases and make money, these two are definitely the first choice in Suishan."

"Yes, my subordinates will send people to Prince Yan's Mansion and Liuyuan Village to investigate clearly."

"now go?"

Ye Xiaolou's voice was still gentle, but Nightingale was scared to death.

"It's not that I didn't find the scholar, it's just that the scholar seemed to have suddenly disappeared."

"Disappear? Would an unarmed scholar disappear under the surveillance of a hummingbird? Interesting."

"Lord, I'm sorry, it's my incompetence."

"Is it because you returned to Jingxianglou early?"

Hearing these words, Nightingale suddenly knelt down on her knees, feeling ashamed as if someone had revealed her feelings.

"Master, I will go back to Suishan immediately to investigate in person."

"Now that you're here, stay for a few days. Pay more attention to the Lingjiang area, and notify me of any strange things. Those people should be coming. All sects must send hummingbirds to monitor them. Although Liuji Hall is in front of me, Xianglou is under control, but I am always uneasy and always feel that something is going to happen. After all the twelve servants of Liuji Hall wake up, the hall master will show up. Before that, we still need to be closely monitored."

"Yes, the poster's worries have always been accurate. Hummingbird will monitor all sects."

"The number one sect in the world - Shangwu Sect, let's send Ye Qing there. You don't have to go there yourself."

"Ye Qing was still working in the Dongting Lake area, and the water from the lake was pouring back. The people were homeless and fled in all directions. The fluke spread in the Dongting Lake area, and most of the exiled people died on the road."

"There were numerous casualties among the people."

A faint light flashed in Ye Xiaolou's eyes. This speed of death was very similar to the Great Disaster Year.They come, the security.He stood up and slowly walked towards Nightingale, and slowly helped Nightingale up.

"Let Ye Qing go. It will do him no good to stay in the fluke area. Tell him that I already know the situation and there is no need to continue to watch the people die miserably. Let him go to Shangwumen. If there is any trouble, just come to the mirror and notify me upstairs."

"Yes, thank you sir."

"no need thank me?"

"Owner. Me."

"You are the nightingale in my mirror, aren't you?"

"Yes, Nightingale understands."

Ye Xiaolou is as emotionless as Bing, but his heart is warmer than anyone else.Nightingale felt a touch of warmth on the left side of her face, and a tingle of pain ran across her tomb-like skin.
