The two of them were surprised when they heard the music. It was very low at first, but it was low and continuous. It was like gossamer drifting in the wind, but it was endless. After a while, the music gradually increased in volume, but it was still very gentle. It was like a zither but not a zither, like a zither but not a zither, like a yellow oriole chirping and a magpie chirping in the morning. It sounded very pleasant. As he listened, he gradually played it to the depths. He felt that the rhythm of the music was complicated and beautiful, like the music of the gods in the sky. However, every note in the music was rhythmic and clear. The beauty and strangeness of it were indescribable. Unknowingly, a cup of tea's time had passed, and the music gradually became sparse until it was completely silent. Only then did the two of them come back to their senses. They heard a light and gentle female voice sigh,"Dream, shadow, mist, flowers, all void, because the mind is chaotic, I am chasing after all the dust, it is better to scatter like ten thousand!”
As soon as the word " disperse " left his mouth, Tianhe and Lingsha felt their vision brighten. The purple mist in the courtyard dissipated, and they saw a young girl holding a harp-like instrument in a pavilion beside a peach tree in the distance, looking at the two of them. She looked slightly older than Lingsha, about 18 or 19 years old. Her beautiful eyes looked at her, and she was very beautiful. There was a jade hairpin in her long hair, which was naturally draped behind her. She was wearing a sea blue long dress, and the ribbons on her shirt fluttered in the wind. Her entire outfit was gorgeous, but it did not lose the feeling of generosity. He was stunned to see such a beautiful girl.
Han Lingsha was also shocked by the girl's beauty. However, Tian He was staring at the girl so intently that he seemed to have forgotten where he was. He couldn't help but slap him angrily."Hey! His eyeballs almost fell out! Is it that good looking?"
Tian He was still in a daze."" Not…not…pretty…" His eyes were still motionless, as if he was mesmerized by the girl. He didn't know much about the etiquette between men and women, so he just looked at the girl directly and didn't feel anything wrong. Such an action was indeed a little rude. Lingsha was also slightly angry, but the young girl acted as if she didn't see it and sighed,""This Thousand Brilliance Spirit Illusion Formation is harmless. I just didn't expect you to take so long to walk out of it.”From the young girl's tone, it seemed that the fog in the residence was set by her. No wonder she had broken through the fog with a raise of her hand just now.
Lingsha was slightly surprised. She thought that this girl must not be an ordinary person if she had such skills. She was afraid that she could not hide from her eyes when she entered the Liu residence just now. She could not help but secretly be on guard.
The girl put away her instrument and slowly walked toward the two of them. When she was in front of them, she asked Tianhe,""Young Master Yun, is your father alright?”
"You know my father too? Father, father died of illness for a long time."
The young girl was shocked, and an extremely sad expression appeared on her face.""Uncle Yun…passed away? How could this be…Back then, he saved my life during the chaos. I've always wanted to find him again and repay him. Why…"
Tian He remembered Liu Shifeng's words and understood. He said,""You are Liu Bobo's daughter?" The girl nodded.”
"Ah, so you're that old lady?" Lingsha suddenly realized.!”As soon as he said that, he realized that he had misspoken and quickly changed his words,"Ah, no, I mean the young miss. However, since we're all old friends, why did you set up a maze to make things difficult for us?”" I'm sorry," Liu Mengli said apologetically." I heard that he's Uncle Yun's son, so I wanted to test his power. I also wanted to ask him how Uncle Yun is doing." Because father refused to tell me anything, saying that he would wait until tomorrow to talk about it…"
As they were talking, they suddenly heard Liu Shifeng's voice from outside the courtyard,""Nephew ~" He entered the courtyard and saw the three people standing together."Honorable Nephew, I originally wanted to find you for a candlelight chat. Why did you run over to Li-er's side? Could it be…Could it be that you and my daughter are already engaged to each other?!”
Lingsha was secretly furious,"What do you mean by 'privately betroth'? This old man is really hot-headed…" Liu Mengli's face blushed slightly."Father, don't let your imagination run wild. I see that Young Master Yun and this young lady have no intention of staying in the residence for long, so why don't we arrange some things and let them leave as they please?”
Hearing his daughter say this, Liu Shifeng became anxious.""Daughter, how can that be! He is your Uncle Yun's son…" Before he could finish, Liu Mengli interrupted him gently,""Father, since you know that Uncle Yun is my hero and benefactor, how can anyone compare to him? Moreover, admiration is different from love. I still want to make my own decisions…"
Seeing his daughter's insistence, Liu Shifeng could only say helplessly,"" This…Alright, alright, alright. Father will do as you say. Sigh, as long as Li-er is happy.”His tone was filled with disappointment and regret. Seeing how Liu Shifeng was so high-profile, yet his daughter managed to persuade him to retreat with a few words, Lingsha couldn't help but laugh."Hehe, I've seen people who are afraid of their wives, but I've never seen anyone who is afraid of their daughters. This County Magistrate Liu is really interesting.”
In the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was very open, and the rules of etiquette were far less strict than those of later generations. Children's marriages were mostly decided by themselves. Although parents had the right to advise and dissuade them, very few people imposed their own wishes on their children. Therefore, throughout the Tang Dynasty, there were many happy love stories between boys and girls, and even elopement was not condemned by the fishing boat. However, even so, Liu Mengli dared to say that the marriage was inappropriate in front of her father, which showed that Liu Shifeng doted on her very much. It could even be said that he was a little afraid of this daughter.
Liu Shifeng turned around and saw Lingsha. He asked suspiciously,""Who is this lady? Why would he appear in the Liu residence in the middle of the night?”" Liu Bobo, she is Lingsha," Tian He replied." We are leaving now. We will come to see you again if we have the chance."”
Liu Shifeng was shocked. He pointed at Lingsha and said,""She, she is that female thief? In that case, how could a guilty person run around! This girl should return to the yamen and wait for her punishment.”
"What thief?" Lingsha said unhappily. Our Han family is well-versed in geomancy and is well-versed in traps. For generations, we've been tomb robbers who travel thousands of miles alone. Listen carefully, it's a big ~ robber ~! Besides, I don't steal or rob the living. The dead are already buried. The bottles and jars buried with them are useless. What's wrong with using them to help those who need them more?”He spoke with conviction and self-righteousness. With a smug expression on his face, he stared straight at Liu Shifeng without any intention of being in the wrong.
Liu Shifeng was so angry that his words trembled." This, this, this, this is all twisted logic, all twisted logic!"”
" Liu Bobo, don't let Lingsha go to the Yamen, or we won't be able to cultivate together…" Liu Shifeng said anxiously,""Nephew, you don't understand, the emperor…sigh! What should I do?"
Liu Mengli, who had been smiling at the three of them, suddenly said,""Father, I have a way. I just heard this morning that there have been monsters appearing at Nvluo Rock near Shouyang recently. You are very worried about this matter. I think it would be better to let Miss Han and the others investigate this matter with me. If it is resolved, Miss Han will have done a great deed for the local government, and it would be reasonable for you to let her go.”
"Deal!" Lingsha said happily. It's settled then!" Liu Shifeng shook his head repeatedly. You guys are still young, how can you take on such a heavy responsibility? Besides, that demon was not someone that anyone could afford to provoke. It was too dangerous. No, no!”
" Father, don't worry," Liu Mengli said gently." I know what to do." Moreover, Young Master Yun and Miss Han were both people with unique skills. If everyone was careful, nothing would go wrong. No matter what, this could be considered as a daughter sharing her father's worries.”
Liu Shifeng still wanted to object, but seeing the hope in Liu Mengli's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh,""Sigh, just do as Li-er said. You all must act cautiously. Li-er, even though you were born with spiritual energy and also learned immortal techniques, you can't be careless either.”After saying that, he regretted it and sighed a few times.
Tianhe said happily,"That means Lingsha doesn't have to leave. That's great!"”Liu Shifeng sighed." Sigh, I'll tell the servants to find an empty guest room to tidy up so that Miss Han can rest."”With that, he turned around and left.
Seeing her father leave, Liu Mengli bowed to the two of them and said,""It's already late, I should return to my room.”Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Lingsha say,""Hey, wait a minute. No matter what, thank you for helping me out. I don't want to go back to that crappy prison cell.”
Liu Mengli turned around and smiled.""You are too polite. With your skills, even if you want to escape, what can my father do? Since you're willing to help, I should thank you for your kindness.”Then he left.
Lingsha was in a much better mood. She thought that she did not have to hide anymore and was about to find a guest room to rest. Seeing that Tian He was still standing there in a daze, she stepped forward and patted him.""Hey, what are you thinking about?" Tian He was stunned." Lingsha," he said," can we leave a few days later?"”"Why?" Lingsha asked curiously.
Tianhe said," Well, the food here is delicious. It would be a pity if we can't eat such delicious food in the future. Why don't we stay a few more days and eat a few more days?"”His face was intoxicated, as if he was recalling the delicious food just now. Looking up, he suddenly realized that Lingsha had already run away in anger. He hurriedly shouted,"Lingsha? Why are you leaving?" However, he did not hear a reply. Seeing that the sky was already dark, he could only return to his room to rest.
The next morning, Tian He got up early and went outside to look for Lingsha. Suddenly, he saw a girl in green walking over. She was one of the maids who had been talking about Tian He yesterday. He asked her hurriedly,""Hey, do you know where Lingsha is? Can you take me to her?"
When the maid saw Tian He, she giggled." Oh, it's the future son-in-law…" Seeing Tian He's surprised expression, he quickly changed his words."No, no, it's Young Master Yun. Old Master invites you to the front hall. My Young Miss and Miss Han are already waiting there.”After saying that, he pointed to the front hall and left.
Tianhe followed her instructions and walked into the front hall. He saw Liu Shifeng's family and Han Lingsha in the room. Liu Shifeng saw him and said happily,""Nephew, you came at the right time. We were just about to tell Miss Han about Nvluo Rock.”Then he said to Yun and Han," I'm ashamed to say this. When I first came to Shouyang, I didn't manage it well. Although the people here weren't poor, they didn't have a lot of money. There were even fewer people who did business. Later on, it was all thanks to Li-er's skillful hands that she made the mountain's Li Vanilla Grass into all kinds of incense, attracting vendors from all over the place to compete for it. Even the nobles in the capital were full of praise for this kind of incense. Only then did Shouyang have the wealth it has today…"
Tian He listened attentively and couldn't help but ask,""Mm, that's good. What does it have to do with demons?”
Liu Shifeng sighed." Nvluo Rock in the northwest of Shouyang City is rich in Li Vanilla Grass. It is the source of wealth in Shouyang City. Most of the people who make incense in the city go there to pick Li Vanilla Grass. However, in the past half a month, there have been demons that have been attacking people in Nvluo Rock. Now, no one dares to approach it anymore. "The road to wealth has been cut off, and the people are terrified. It's really worrying…" He sighed again.
Lingsha was full of confidence." There's no time to lose. We'll go immediately!"”Liu Mengli also said," Yes, let's set off now. It's always better to settle this matter as soon as possible." Young Master Yun, what do you think?" He gazed at the Milky Way. " Since none of you are afraid, then what do I have to be afraid of? Let's go together!" Tian He said.”He smiled foolishly.
The Liu couple repeatedly instructed. Liu Shifeng said,"" Li-er, you, Tianhe, and Miss Han must be careful. If the situation turns bad, run first. Don't force yourself to suffer the loss in front of you.”Liu Mengli nodded.”The three of them came out of the city and saw a huge mountain outside the city. After walking for a few miles, the road split into two mountain roads: The mountains to the east are steep and the road is very rugged. The mountain on the west side was very flat. The mountain path was shrouded in the shade of trees. It was lush and could not be seen clearly at a glance.
"Nvluo Rock is to the northwest of the mountain road, and to the northeast is-" Before Liu Mengli could finish her sentence, Lingsha interrupted her with a smile,""Hehe, I know. It's the mausoleum of the former King of Huainan, right?”"You're right, Miss Han." Liu Mengli nodded.”
Lingsha smiled and said," That old man, the King of Huainan, sure knows how to pick a place. Bagong Mountain has a good terrain. It has the Green Dragon and the White Tiger of the Four Forces. They can protect the cave field from the wind. It's a pity that there's only a moat in front of the mountain. It would be great if it could gather water and turn it into a swamp."”
" Lingsha," Tian He couldn't understand." Why do you sound so weird?" "It's so hard to understand…" Lingsha rolled her eyes at him."Humph! You savage, you eat too much and know too little!”Tian He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
Liu Mengli praised," I heard Father say that the art of Feng Shui is obscure and difficult to understand. It usually takes ten to twenty years for one to achieve some minor success. Miss Han understood so much, it was really not simple.”Lingsha smiled humbly." Haha, that's nothing. If I didn't know this in my hometown, I would be laughed at for life."”His feelings toward Liu Mengli suddenly improved. He said happily,""Right, I say, we can be considered friends now, so don't be so formal. Just call me Lingsha, or else I'll call you Eldest Miss Liu, hehe.”
Meng Li nodded slightly." Alright, Lingsha. Let's go to Nvluo Rock now."”
The three of them walked northwest. After a while, they saw a big hole at the end of the mountain road. There was a rattan ladder on the wall of the hole. Meng Li said," This is the entrance to Nvluo Rock. The Li Vanilla Grass grows in the cave. Let's go down from here."”Tian He and Ling Sha nodded. The three of them went down into the cave one after another, only to find that the cave was silent. Other than the bare stone walls and stalagmites, there was no trace of fragrant grass or demons.
" Huh? I've been here before, and there are herbs everywhere. Why are they…" Liu Mengli asked curiously."Lingsha, be careful!"
A red poisonous snake was hiding in the shadows. When it saw someone coming, it suddenly poked its head out and bit Han Lingsha's leg. Fortunately, Tian He had sharp eyes and noticed it in time. Lingsha reacted quickly and narrowly avoided the bite. The snake didn't manage to bite him. It raised its head and wanted to pounce again.
"Quick!" Liu Mengli shouted anxiously. A thunderbolt suddenly flashed above the head of the poisonous snake, hitting the head of the snake and instantly turning it into charcoal. This time, it was really extremely fast.
Lingsha was shocked." Mengli, you, you know immortal techniques too?"”Meng Li nodded." When I was young, a Daoist came to my house. He said that I was born with abundant spiritual power and was different from ordinary people. I was a good candidate to cultivate immortal techniques. My father was very happy to hear this and asked the Taoist priest to teach me. However, the Taoist priest wanted to travel around and left behind only a fairy technique book. After that, my father hired some people who knew about the Dao to teach me how to practice it. I practiced it for several years, but today is the first time I'm using it.”
Tianhe said happily," Mengli, I can't practice my fire immortal technique well. I can't roast a pig to eat. Can you teach me?"”Lingsha saw that the attack was fast and accurate, she knew that she couldn't catch up, so she went forward to ask for advice. Meng Li wasn't afraid of trouble and carefully introduced the usage of their respective immortal techniques to the two, as well as the various important and error-prone areas when using them. She then let the two practice according to this. Unknowingly, an hour had passed. The two of them only felt that their immortal techniques were more flexible and free to use, and their power had also increased greatly. They could not help but be grateful and impressed by Meng Li.
The three of them continued to move forward, only to see that there was nothing in the cave except for a few poisonous snakes and insects. Seeing that they had reached the end, Meng Li said," We didn't find any demons on this level. Let's go to the next level."”Lingsha and Tian He nodded in agreement. The three of them went down to another level. Just as they stood firm, they felt a bloody smell assail their noses.
The three of them were shocked when they smelled the blood. Not long after they followed the scent, they saw dozens of demon corpses lying on the ground not far away. Demon blood flowed all over the ground. What made them speechless was that there was not even a trace of a fight left on the ground. It was obvious that the person had attacked quickly. All the demons were pierced by a sword almost at the same time and died on the spot. One could imagine how high his swordsmanship was.
Lingsha frowned." What an awful smell. Let's go!"”"Sigh, someone has defeated the demons. Doesn't that mean we have nothing to do?" Tian He also said.”Meng Li shook her head." We're only here to investigate why the demon would suddenly hurt people. We don't necessarily have to get rid of the demon." The Scholartree Demons here have always been gentle. There should be some reason…"
Lingsha couldn't stand the strong smell of blood. She walked to the side and said,""Whatever! " Don't stop here, I'm going to throw up…" Tian He watched her walk and suddenly felt that something was wrong."Lingsha, wait!" Before she could finish her sentence, Lingsha suddenly felt her feet loosen. She had stepped into a trap and fell straight down with a " Ah!"
Tianhe and Mengli were shocked and hurriedly reached out to pull, but it was already too late. Seeing Lingsha fall into the hole, Tian He said anxiously,""No, I want to jump down!" After saying that, he was about to jump down when Meng Li hurriedly pulled him back.""Young Master Yun, you mustn't! This Nvluo Rock was too strange. No one knew what was going on below the cave. If you were to get hurt, how would you save Lingsha?”Seeing that Tian He was still anxious, he said,""Young Master Yun, the more anxious you are, the calmer you have to be! Let's hurry up and go to the lower level!”Helpless, Tian He could only follow Meng Li deeper.
The two of them walked much faster than before because they were anxious. It did not take long for them to arrive at the third level. They saw Lingsha lying on the ground. She did not know whether she was dead or alive. Tian He hurriedly ran to her side and shouted,""Lingsha! Lingsha! Can you hear me?" Seeing that Lingsha was still motionless, he said anxiously,""What should we do, what should we do? Will Lingsha be alright?”Her face was anxious, and tears were about to flow out.
Liu Mengli hurried forward and checked her breathing. She said in a relaxed voice,""Young Master Yun, don't panic. She's still breathing, but she's probably just unconscious.”As she spoke, she took out a sachet and placed it in front of Lingsha's nose. After a while, Lingsha slowly woke up. Seeing that the two of them were staring at her, she blushed and was about to sit up when Liu Mengli held her down."You just woke up. Don't move yet.”
Lingsha smelled a strange fragrance and asked,""Eh, my bones don't hurt at all, and my head isn't dizzy anymore. What fragrance is this? So powerful!" Liu Mengli smiled." This is a sachet I made with a mixture of herbs. It has the effect of calming the mind and relieving pain. However, it can't cure the root of the problem. You still have to apply the medicine."”As he spoke, he applied the medicine on the wound on Lingsha's arm. Lingsha felt a chill on her arms, and it was indescribably refreshing and comfortable. She could not help but be moved. Mengli, thank you!"
Meng Li smiled and said," You said it before. We're friends. There's no need to thank me."”Lingsha lowered her head in embarrassment.
Seeing that Lingsha had woken up, Tian He was still a little worried and asked,""Lingsha, are your injuries alright? Should he go back to Liu Bobo's house to rest?”
Lingsha saw the worried look on Tianhe's face and thought that she couldn't let this savage look down on her. She sat up and said,""Hmph, who said I have something to do? Damn it, I don't know which guy dug the trap. I don't care if he's a human or a demon. I'll definitely find him and teach him a lesson!”With that, she stormed into the depths of the cave. Tianhe and Mengli were afraid that she had not recovered from her injuries, so they quickly followed closely behind. Unknowingly, the three of them had reached the deepest part of the cave. Liu Mengli suddenly stopped and sniffled."" Eh, there's…the smell of the Mythical Grass nearby…" Following the scent, they walked into a corner of the cave. Yun Han and the other man followed them.
Suddenly, the three of them heard a meow, which sounded like a cat. "That's strange. Why are there cats here?" Lingsha asked curiously.”He lit up the firebreak on his body and saw a large handful of green plants on the ground in front of him. It was obviously the Leaving Vanilla Grass. There were five strange little animals lying next to the herb, they had blue fur and were fat like balls. They were very cute. Lingsha's fondness for them rose, and she reached out to hug them. The five animals saw Lingsha reach out her hand and quickly retreated. Their eyes were filled with anger and fear. The leader meowed several times in a very miserable voice.
Lingsha didn't know what was going on and was stunned on the spot. Liu Mengli looked at them and sighed,""Lingsha, it looks like the person who dug the trap has been found.”
Lingsha was shocked." Mengli, you mean…they?"!”Meng Li nodded.
"Alright!" Lingsha got angry. I haven't even shown my power yet, and you kittens actually dare to harm me!”He took out his short sword and wanted to scare these ungrateful fellows. Meng Li hurriedly stopped her." Lingsha, don't be angry. They are very pitiful. I can feel their pain."
"Meow! Meow!" the leader said angrily. Bad guy! Father and mother were killed by you!" His tone was filled with grief and indignation.
Tian He was shocked." It, it can speak human language?"”Meng Li nodded." They're not ordinary animals. They're Scholartree Demons that live here. I've seen them before when I came here."”"Hello, please don't be afraid. We don't have any ill intentions." You said that your parents were killed. What happened?”
"Meow!" Everyone was a bad guy! We want revenge!" Meng Li asked," Are your parents among those demons who fell on the ground?"”The other Scholartree Monsters all started to cry, their voices extremely miserable. The one in the lead suppressed his grief and said sternly,"Meow! Don't cry! Don't let others see you as a joke!" He turned to Liu Mengli and said angrily,"Meow! You people are too bad! A person suddenly barged in and killed everyone!”
Meng Li had a sorrowful look and asked," That person... Did you see what he looked like?"”"Meow!" the demon said hatefully. Of course! He held a long sword. I know that he is the sword immortal you people speak of!”Then he said sadly,"Meow!" The other brothers and I were still young, and our demonic aura was weak, so we weren't detected by that person. I didn't expect that I would still die in your hands…"
Meng Li sighed and said," Demons invade people, people naturally have to get rid of demons too." The recent incident of demons hurting people had probably alarmed those sword immortals who had entered the mortal world and came here to eliminate the demons. Sigh, if you didn't hurt people, how would you have ended up like this?”
"Meow, meow, meow!" the demon said angrily. It was the wrong person! The people had used up all the Li Vanilla Grass, and the locust tree demon had nothing to eat. Father and Mother had just said that they wanted to scare them, but they had already bitten a few people to death. Otherwise, everyone would not be able to survive!”
"Ah?" Lingsha was shocked. So that's what happened!" "You guys…do you have a place to go?" Liu Mengli sighed. If there are, then leave quickly. There are only poisonous snakes and evil creatures left in Nvluo Rock now. It's not a place to stay long.”
The demon was shocked and said in a trembling voice,""Meow! You, you won't kill us?" Tian He, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said,"Why would I kill you? I only understand half of what you said. However, when a demon kills a human, the human wants revenge. When a human kills a demon, the demon won't let it go either. If we fight like this, there won't be a result no matter what day it comes. It's better to stop on both sides.”
Lingsha and Mengli looked at Tian He blankly as if they didn't know him. The two of them had never expected that the profound truth behind these simple words would come from the mouth of a mountaintop savage like Tian He. After a while, Lingsha said in surprise,"Tianhe…are you really Tianhe?! He actually said something so reasonable…"
Tian He smiled foolishly." Hehe, these are all what my father said. He said that humans are like this. I think humans and demons should be similar.”
"Uncle Yun is right."”Facing the Scholartree Demon, he said softly," You guys can leave. When we return, I will tell the people in the city to harvest the appropriate amount. I will not let you guys run out of food." After some time, the herb will return to its original lush state. At that time, you can come back…"
The demon was stunned and seemed to be moved by Meng Li. He said,""Meow! My name is Huai Mi, and they are my younger brothers Huai Hua, Huai Shi, Huai Jiao, and Huai Zhi. Thank you for helping us! When we grow up, we still have to find that person and avenge our parents! However, not all people are bad. I'll remember it!”Then, he said to his younger brothers,"Meow! Let's go!" The Scholartree Monsters glanced at the three of them before reluctantly leaving the cave. Watching Huai Mi and the others leave, Liu Mengli sighed."" How pitiful. She lost her parents at such a young age. I'm afraid she'll have a hard time in the future…" When Tian He and Ling Sha heard this, they felt sad and couldn't help but sympathize with the Scholartree Demons.
Just as the three of them were lamenting, they suddenly heard a meow and Huai Zhi ran over."Meow ~ Boss was too embarrassed to come himself. He asked me to give this to you. This is our only treasure.”After saying that, he placed an earthen yellow bead in front of Meng Li's feet. That bead was crystal clear, shining with a strange light in the dark cave.
Lingsha picked up the bead and examined it for a moment. Suddenly, she exclaimed,""Isn't…isn't this the Earth Spiritual Pearl?"
"Earth Forest Pig? What was it? "It doesn't look like a pig…" Lingsha explained,""Legend has it that there are five spiritual pearls in the world: water, fire, thunder, wind, and earth. They are all condensed from spiritual qi and are amazing treasures. The ancestor of the Han family once obtained a thunder spiritual pearl, so it was recorded in the family's documents. It was said that the Five Spirit Pearls had different effects. If one could gather five of them, it would be a huge difference.”
Meng Li bent down and said to Huai Zhi," Such a valuable thing... you want to give it to me?"”Huai Zhi nodded." Meow, Boss said that there are good and bad people. You are a good person and treat us very well, so we want to thank you."”After saying that, he ran far away. Meng Li gave a deep bow in the direction they had gone,""Thank you."
Lingsha was still thinking about something,"Let me think, Earth Spiritual Pearl…" Suddenly, her spirits were lifted."Oh right, the Earth Spiritual Pearl can instantly return a person to their starting point. There's an incantation for this in the literature, I remember! This was great. He didn't have to run so far back!”Tianhe and Mengli were also delighted when they heard this. Lingsha had the two of them close their eyes, and she also closed her eyes and chanted the incantation. All of a sudden, they felt as if the world was spinning. The three of them seemed to be floating in the air, being blown by the wind from all directions. After a while, he felt that he was standing firmly on the ground before he opened his eyes. Looking around, the three of them had been teleported to the mountain road outside the cave.
"Hehe, this is fun!" Tianhe said happily.”Lingsha was also very happy, but on second thought, she felt a little ashamed and said to Meng Li,""Mengli, the kittens said that this is their only treasure. Can you really give it to us?”
Liu Mengli nodded." Yes, it doesn't matter. They are sincere in repaying their kindness. If we don't accept them, it would be very rude."”"Mengli, your way of thinking is really different from others.”
Meng Li looked into the distance and sighed." Actually, in this boundless world, there are not only humans. Humans have to live, and so do demons. Why can't we understand each other more? At least, I don't think that demons are ferocious and hateful. All living things are living beings. How can there be a distinction between good and evil?”
Tian He nodded." That's right. My father always says that!"”Lingsha rested her chin on her right hand as if she was thinking about something.
At this moment, two white figures descended from the sky. They were two people flying on swords. Tianhe and Lingsha were shocked when they saw them. Tianhe asked curiously," Huaishuo, Xuanji, is that you?"
Huaishuo quickly stepped forward and bowed.”Xuanji was stunned." Eh? Senior Brother, who are they?"”"Xuanji, have you forgotten?" Huaishuo asked. " That night, we met by Lake Chaohu…" Xuanji suddenly remembered and blushed."After I left the mountain, I saw so many people every day. If I remembered everyone, wouldn't I die of exhaustion?”He looked at Nvluo Yan in front of him and said anxiously,"Let's not bother about this. Since there are monsters near Shouyang, let's quickly chase them away so that we can find Martial Uncle Ziying!”With that, he ran towards the cave, with Huaishuo following behind.
Meng Li and the other two were extremely anxious. They knew that the surviving little demons were extremely weak and were definitely not Huaishuo and the other two's opponents. If they encountered them, they would probably be unable to escape death. " Hehe!" Tian He quickly blocked Xuanji's path." You're too late. Someone has already killed all the monsters."”
"Liar!" Xuanji pouted. I don't believe it! Who is so powerful?" "Little sister, Young Master Yun didn't lie to you," Liu Mengli said gently. We also came here to investigate the matter of demons hurting people. After entering the cave, we discovered that all the Scholartree Demons had been pierced through the heart by a sword. Perhaps it was done by a sword immortal.”
"Sword immortal?" Xuanji asked suspiciously. "Could it be…" Huaishuo laughed loudly."Haha, Xuanji, it looks like Uncle-Master is always half a step ahead of us. Don't even think about catching up in this lifetime.”Xuanji thought about it and nodded.""Yes, that's right. In our Qionghua Sect, Uncle's swordsmanship is unparalleled among his peers. Who else can have such a high level of martial arts but Uncle? Martial Uncle Ziying is really amazing!" His face was filled with admiration and a little regret. He thought that if he could catch up to his martial uncle earlier and accompany him to eliminate the demon, then this trip would be worth it. Seeing that he was one step behind his martial uncle, he could only go to Chen Zhou to search again. He quickly said to Huaishuo,"Shixiong, let's go to Chen Zhou to find Shishu Ziying!”
Huaishuo said," Wait a minute. To be safe, we should enter Nvluo Rock again and check if there are any demon survivors."”He was about to move forward when he was pulled back by Tian He. Tian He waved his hand repeatedly."No, there's no need, right? We just came out from inside. Other than corpses, I guarantee there's nothing.”Xuanji was also very anxious." That's right, Senior Brother. I'm going to be angry!" Don't tell me you don't even trust Martial Uncle Ziying's martial arts?”Seeing that Huaishuo was still hesitating, he stomped his feet in anger and said,""Martial Uncle has already rushed to Chen Zhou, we have to catch up quickly, don't always be slow! If you don't leave, I'll leave!" After saying that, he jumped onto his sword and soared into the sky. Huaishuo was helpless. He cupped his hands at the three of them and left on his sword.
Lingsha suddenly remembered that she wanted to become Huaishuo's disciple and hurriedly shouted at Huaishuo's back,""Hey, wait a minute!" However, the sword control technique was extremely fast, and the two of them disappeared in the blink of an eye. They didn't even hear Lingsha's words. Lingsha sighed." Sigh, these two people are still in a hurry. I didn't even have the chance to talk about joining their sect." Right, Xuanji said that their sect was called Qionghua Sect. Fortunately, they haven't gone to Chen Province yet. We still have a chance to meet them there.”
Liu Mengli saw Lingsha's expression and asked,""Lingsha, do you…want to cultivate?”Lingsha nodded." Yes, I want to go to that sect to cultivate. This guy wants to go too, but he only wants to learn the sword control technique to fight wild boars." Oh, right, there was also the question of his father's background.”"Uncle Yun?" Liu Mengli asked curiously. Is he related to this sect?" Lingsha nodded and told him about the pattern on the ancient jade and the pattern on Huaishuo and the others 'clothes.
Liu Mengli lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then, she raised her head and asked Lingsha,""Yes, can I go with you?”Before Lingsha could answer, Tian He said happily,""Really? Sure!" Lingsha was secretly amused and a little angry. Idiot, why do you look so expectant…" He smiled at Mengli,""Yes, if your father agrees, I won't say anything! You've helped us a lot. With you accompanying us to cultivate, we can't be happier!”
Meng Li thanked him,"I'll have to trouble you guys in the future."”Her worried expression was swept away, and she broke into a smile. Her face was already beautiful, but now that she smiled, it was like a peach blossom in full bloom. Tian He was stunned, and even Lingsha was stunned. She had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life. Lingsha herself was not bad looking, but compared to Mengli, she felt inferior. Looking at Tian He's infatuated eyes, he coughed and said,""Cough, let's go back to Shouyang and let the county magistrate know about the situation here.”
Meng Li nodded and walked in front. Tian He was still standing there in a daze. Lingsha punched him and said unhappily,""What are you daydreaming about? Hmph, men are all lustful!" She simply ignored him and followed behind Meng Li. Only then did Tian He react and follow the two of them to Shouyang.
The three of them returned to the Liu residence. Before they entered, they saw a white-haired old man pulling Pei Jian and crying,"Constable Pei, my young lady's illness has not improved. Please pass the message and ask Old Master Liu to help.”Pei Jian was very helpless and said," Uncle Zhong, today is a day off. Old Master has also been busy for a full ten days. Please let him rest."”In the Tang Dynasty, officials had a leave of absence every ten days. Pei Jian deliberately said this and said,"Moreover, Old Master has already been worried about your Young Lady's matter. He has asked all the famous doctors in Shouyang City, but they still haven't found anything. Sigh, you should just accept your fate." The old man refused to leave and continued to beg pitifully. He looked very pitiful.
"Brother Pei, what's going on?" Liu Mengli walked up and asked.”Pei Jian saw Meng Li trio and said happily,""Miss, you're back? Old Master told me to wait for you here. I didn't expect you to come back so soon!”"Bring a chair and let Uncle Zhong sit here for a while. I'll come out later."”He hurriedly brought the three of them into the residence.
Meng Li and the other two entered the front hall and saw Liu Shifeng running around like ants on a hot pan. Seeing the three of them return, he rushed to Meng Li and said hurriedly,""Aiya, Father's precious daughter, you're finally back! Are you hurt? Did you encounter any danger? Sigh, it's all my father's fault. The more I think about it, the more I regret it. I shouldn't have agreed to let you go! Now that he was finally back, it was good that he was back!”This long string of words was filled with worry and fear, which was quite unlike his usual style. If he didn't dote on his daughter too much, he wouldn't be so afraid.
Meng Li said gently," Father, don't be so worried. You see, nothing happened. Everyone is fine."”Lingsha smiled." That's right. The problem with the monsters has been solved. Although we didn't make much of a contribution, we still worked hard." Heehee, Magistrate, you must keep your word! Don't let the officers chase me anymore!" Liu Shifeng nodded repeatedly. But how about demons…"
Meng Li said," Father, let me tell you about the situation slowly. I also have something important to tell you and Mother…" Ruan Ci said,""Master, why don't we go to Li-er's room to talk?”He turned to Tian He and Lingsha and said," Tian He, Miss Han, you've worked hard for a long time. You must be tired. Go back to the guest room and rest for a while."”With that, the Liu family entered the inner room.
Meng Li entered the inner room and explained to her parents the mystery of the female Luo Yan Huai demon hurting people. Liu Shifeng sighed and said,""I understand. Tomorrow, I'll order the merchants to control their harvesting. I hope the heavens will help and let the herb return to its original state as soon as possible.”Thinking that the problem was about to be solved, he could not help but let out a long sigh.
Meng Li recalled the matter of Uncle Zhong and asked,""Father, what happened to the young lady of that old man surnamed Zhong?”" Sigh," Liu Shifeng said." This Old Man Zhong is from another city. I heard that his young lady has been sick for nine years and has been unconscious." The young lady's parents had passed away. This old man was just a servant, but he was very loyal. He looked for famous doctors everywhere to treat his young lady. Later, he heard that there were many famous doctors in Shouyang, so he moved here from afar. Seeing his loyalty, I gathered all the famous doctors in Shouyang to treat the young lady, but I couldn't see any results. "I think that Young Lady's illness must be extraordinary…" He shook his head repeatedly, his face filled with helplessness.
Meng Li pondered for a long time and said," Father, I want to go and see that young lady. Perhaps I can help."”Liu Shifeng smiled bitterly and said," Sigh, how many famous doctors in this city can't even see it. Li-er, don't worry about it."”Meng Li shook her head and said," Your daughter has a feeling that that young lady is probably not sick. If she is not sick, your daughter might be able to help. It can also be considered a good deed done to the end."”Liu Shifeng sighed and said," Alright then. Li-er, if you have time, going to take a look is also fine."”Seeing his daughter so willing to help others, he was both gratified and worried. He sighed to himself while Ruan Ci comforted him.
Tianhe and Lingsha were fine, so they walked out of the house. Lingsha walked to the other side and Tianhe asked,""Lingsha, where are you going? Let's go together." Lingsha shook her head." No way. I'm a girl after all. I have one or two of my own secrets. I can't keep sticking to you."”He was about to leave when he saw Tian He still following him. He said angrily,""Hey, are you a stalker? Can't you walk on your own?"
"But, there are too many roads here, I'm afraid I'll get lost…" Tian He stammered."Look over there!" Tian He turned around and heard a soft sound. When he turned around, he saw a cloud of red smoke again. It was the " Resurrection of Smoke and Water ". He held his breath and took a few steps back. Lingsha's laughter came from the other side of the smoke."Hehe, see you later!"
Tianhe was helpless and could only walk around the mansion. After a while, he accidentally walked to the courtyard where he saw Mengli last night. Meng Li was still standing in the pavilion, holding the musical instrument she used yesterday, staring into the distance, deep in thought. Just as Tian He was about to step forward, he suddenly heard a young girl beside him laugh and say,""Hehe, is it the future son-in-law? "Miss seems to be troubled by something. You have to think of a way to make her happy ~" Tian He turned around and saw that it was the maid who had shown him the way in the morning.
"I…I'll go?" Tian He asked in confusion.”"Hehe, of course!" The maid laughed. Of course, son-in-law has to go!" With that, she covered her mouth and left. Helpless, Tian He walked to the back of the pavilion and called out,""Mengli?" "Young Master Yun, is that you?" Liu Mengli turned around.”" Yeah." Tian He scratched his head." That girl just now said you weren't too happy…"
Meng Li smiled." Don't listen to her. Lurong, this girl, likes to add oil to the fire. I'm just not used to being separated from my parents for so long." Right, Father and Mother promised me that I can follow Young Master Yun and Lingsha around in the future.”Tian He was happy." That's great. Mengli, do you want to be a sword immortal too?"”
Meng Li shook her head." I don't have much interest in cultivation. It's just that…I've lived in this mansion since I was young, passing day after day. But sometimes, I would also want to know where I came from and what happened…Some strange scenes always flash in my mind…Who knows, when I go outside, I might be able to find some clues…" Between his words, it seemed like he was very concerned about his own background.
" My father…" Tian He asked," Didn't he say anything?"”Meng Li said," No, I think Uncle Yun definitely has his reasons. Perhaps even he doesn't know."”After saying that, he sighed and felt a little better."Actually, this is nothing. Father and mother love me very much. I'm already the luckiest person in the world to have met them.”
"Yes, you're right!" Tian He nodded. Liu Bobo and the others are good people. It's not bad for you guys to be together all the time.”Liu Mengli glanced at him and said gently," Actually, if you want, you can treat them as your parents…I heard that your mother passed away a long time ago…"
"Ah?" Tian He shook his head hurriedly. No need, no need! I mean, I can't snatch your parents away. Also, if I call someone else 'father', my father might really be angry!”Whenever his father was mentioned, Tian He would always feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Mengli couldn't help but laugh.”Seeing her smile, Tian He felt much more at ease. He thought of something and asked,""Mengli, I, I don't understand something. Liu Bobo always calls me 'Xianzhi' and the girls here call me 'son-in-law'.”
"Xianzhi?…" Meng Li asked curiously. Nephew?" "Young Master Yun, has Uncle Yun ever taught you how to read and write?"”" My father taught me some when I was young," Tian He said." He even left a few books for me to read. But, but for the convenience of starting a fire, I burned most of them.”
Liu Mengli nodded." In that case, you just don't know which words correspond to which meanings. I'll tell you slowly when I have time in the future."”She blushed slightly and said,"…As for 'son-in-law', that's just for the girls to play around with. Ignore them." They probably listened to my father and thought that Young Master Yun and I were getting married.”
"Marry?" Tianhe asked. What do you mean?" Meng Li explained," To put it simply, if a girl feels comfortable looking at you, she will want to marry you. From now on, the two of them will be together for the rest of their lives and will never be separated.”Tian He scratched his head, seemingly understanding something. He then asked,""Mengli, I-I still want to ask you a question, can I?”
Mengli nodded. Tianhe said," You, what instrument are you holding? The song last night was so nice, like celestial music."”Meng Li's face turned red again and she said with a smile,""Young Master Yun, you flatter me. I have been practicing this harp since I was young. I was just playing it casually last night.”
The harp was a musical instrument that had existed in China since ancient times. In the famous Yuefu poem, Peacock Flies Southeast, there was a poem that said," 15 pieces of the harp, 16 pieces of poetry." It could be seen that the harp was very popular at that time and was a must-learn instrument for many young ladies. In the Tang Dynasty, the folk music practice was very popular, and there were many famous people who played the harp. The famous poet Li He even had a famous sentence,"Jiang E cries for bamboo and the girl is sad, Li Pingtian plays the harp", which shows the touching music when the harp is played. Liu Mengli had been practicing the harp for a long time, and her attainments in playing it were not shallow. However, she was very modest and did not have any complacency. Meng Li saw Tian He's envious expression and smiled,""If Young Master Yun likes it, I'm willing to play a song for Young Master alone someday.”"Good, good!" Tianhe said happily.
Liu Mengli looked at the sky and said," It's almost noon. I'll go back to my room. Young Master Yun, you should rest too. I still have something to do in the afternoon."”"Young Master Yun, are we leaving tomorrow?" he asked after a pause.”Tian He nodded.
Meng Li smiled." Young Master Yun, I want to give you something tomorrow."”"You're giving me something? What is it?" " It's a secret." Meng Li smiled." Young Master Yun will know once you see it."”He turned around and took two steps, sighing faintly,""Young Master Yun, today you told Huaishuo and the others that there are no demons in Nvluo Rock. I…thank you very much for being willing to help Huai Mi and the others. You're a good person, and you remind me of Uncle Yun…You all have a kind heart…" Tianhe felt a warmth in his heart. He wanted to say something more, but Mengli had already left the hospital.
Suddenly, Han Lingsha laughed and said,"Haha, you're so affectionate. I heard everything!"”
