Sword Domain, Qingyuan City.

Mo Tianwei walked on the streets of Qingyuan City, his eyes swept casually over the shops on both sides of the street, occasionally sliding past a few pedestrians, and he didn't find any clues.

Qingyuan City is inconspicuous in the first-class sect domain of the Sword Sect, and it can even be said that it has no sense of existence, it belongs to the kind of people who are often missed when they count the population and resources, if it weren't for the fact that the master specially reminded her to come to Qingyuan City to have a look if she is free, she would not have noticed that there is such a city hidden in the towering sword domain.

This city is not big, Mo Tianwei wandered around for a day, and then he found out all kinds of situations in the city.

Most of the situation is the same as the impression of this city, it is featureless, and even the buildings in the city are the same, and it is even visually tiring to see too much.

The pedestrians on the road are far less than those in Yongning City, even if they are casual cultivators, they are also aggressive and hard-working types, and the people here are all blank, and they don't look like a monk who is fighting for his life with the sky.

There was only one thing that surprised Mo Tianwei very much, the city lord here was actually not a disciple of the Sword Sect, but the head of the only big family in this city.

"Gu Family ......"

Mo Tianwei looked at the simple and elegant mansion from afar, and many thoughts turned in his heart.

Because the city lords of Qingyuan City in the past dynasties were all the heads of the Gu family, the Gu Mansion was actually the city lord's mansion of Qingyuan City.

The head of the Gu family's generation is named Gu Sui, a monk in the early Yuan Dynasty, who has always lived in a simple place and has no sense of existence.

Mo Tianwei didn't feel a sense of existence at first glance, but after walking a street, he suddenly reacted - no, how could this not have a sense of existence? I think that the city lord of Wuyan City is just a Jindan monk, this Qingyuan City is not as good as Wuyan City, and there is a Yuanying True Monarch as the city lord, which is not enough to have a sense of existence?

But with such an obvious detail, how could she not react immediately?

Mo Tianwei was really curious this time, she felt ...... This is a familiar situation.

- Isn't that what happened after she turned on the small transparent aura on her body?

On this night, after Mo Tianwei returned to the inn, she began to think in her heart, Shizun asked her to come to Qingyuan City, she should go to this Gu family, right?

What kind of secret is hidden in this Gu family?

?

In the same inn, another room.

A man in black sat on a windowsill with a flask in his hand, looking at the full moon in the sky, pouring wine into his mouth.

There was an indifferent expression on his cold face, but between his eyebrows, which should have been open and flying, there was a trace of depression.

It was this trace of depression that made him sit alone in front of the window and drink alcohol, pretending to be a dissolute and freedom-loving young man.

The black-clothed Wenqing didn't know how much wine he had drunk, until the wine jug in the inner space could no longer pour out a drop of wine, and it was as if he had briefly broken free from his drunken drunkenness, and a trace of anger flashed on his blushing face.

He slammed the flask on the ground, and when he heard the dull sound, he burst out laughing.

At first, the corners of his lips were slightly curled, but then the smile grew louder and louder, until he changed from a silent smile to a presumptuous laugh, unable to help himself, and laughed so hard that he threw himself on the cold wooden floor of the room.

It's just that the trace of depression between his eyebrows became more and more impossible to ignore as his smile grew, until it spread to his eyes, brewing a tear of a man who had been absent for many years.

"Why......" his voice was low, as if he didn't want to hear the question himself, "Why...... Not me?!"

He ...... What is him?!"

"No! I'm not going to throw in the towel!"

"I will snatch back everything you took from me...... Whether it's my person, or my status!"

?

The palace door is not closed, the windows are wide open, the cold night breeze blows the heavy curtains, the shadows are sufficient, and the crisp bell sound rings in the quiet and strange hall, there is no sense of liveliness, but like the whisper of a ghost, telling what unknown secrets.

A pale hand brushes open the curtain, revealing the shape of its owner.

It was a man of eerie beauty, with loose hair and a bare chest, and only a crow-blue robe, and he walked out like this.

A ghostly figure appeared in front of him, bowing his head respectfully and kneeling on one knee, "Young Master, Li Xuan has gone to Qingyuan City." ”

"He?Qingyuan City?" The young master paused as he poured wine, "Heh......"

"A wasted man, also worthy of your attention? He loves to be a stepping stone......

"It just so happens that I think it's a little less effort-saving. A trace of cold killing intent appeared in the young master's eyes, and he threw the wine glass on the table, "Clean up, it's time for us to leave." ”

"Yes. ”

The ghost gestured, and suddenly there were three or four black shadows like him in the seemingly empty hall, clearing out the idle people in the hall.

The young master closed his eyes and stood by the window, feeling the breath of the night breeze, and the tail of his oblique eyes was like a pair of hooks, which was charming and moving.

"Wind ......"

He remembered the winter night many years ago, huddled in the straw pile of the ruined temple, when the wind was equally cold, as if it wanted to freeze every drop of human blood into ice.

“...... It's different, how can it be the same?" he muttered to himself, "The wind here has the smell of power...... The taste of life ......"

In the quiet Qingyuan City, there were suddenly two more uninvited guests, and even another mysterious person was about to arrive soon, like a stone thrown into a pool of stagnant water, causing ripples.

? Early in the morning of the second day.

Mo Tianwei didn't waste time, after leaving the inn, he found a secret place to change his outfit, came directly to the door of the Gu Mansion, and handed the greeting note to the concierge.

The porter didn't seem to wake up last night, and he didn't react when he saw the name and seal on the prayer post, so he just nodded casually and walked to the house.

After taking two steps, he suddenly paused, looked down at the post again, was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around, with an almost flattering smile, came to Mo Tianwei's side, and saluted respectfully: "Meet the disciples of the upper sect." ”

Mo Tianwei didn't hide his identity, this face was a real face, and the clothes were also the standard clothes of the Sword Sect's Lingxing Peak, and a clear-eyed person would know which disciple this was at a glance.

...... Yes, this is the decision Mo Tianwei made after thinking about it all night.

What is the secret of the Gu family, just come to the door and ask, what does she want to do so much?

Just go straight, why play tricks.

If the Gu family wants to say, she can get the answer if she asks, and if the Gu family doesn't want to say, she turns around and leaves, after all, she is not the kind of person who likes to snoop on other people's private homes casually.

Although Shizun's meaning was probably to let her come to the Gu family, he didn't say what she would do when she came, and the autonomy was in her own hands.

This is also one of the reasons why Mo Tianwei respects Shizun, Shizun will never ask her to do something, only put forward her own suggestions, and the decision is in her hands.

For a person who was kept as a pet in his previous life, as long as he was obedient, this is the greatest respect.

Mo Tianwei's prayer post soon reached the hands of the city lord Gu Sui.

Gu Sui was a middle-aged beautiful uncle, after reading the post, he frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh, "...... Why is it here again?"

"Well, invite him to stay in the guest house, and don't be lazy. ”

"Family Master, if the disciples of the upper sect ask about ......"

Gu Sui waved his hand, "Half a month later, everything will be clear, wait patiently." ”

After the steward stepped back, Gu Sui rubbed his eyebrows, and when his gaze swept to the bright red seal on the case and the seal that belonged to the Sword Sect's Spirit Star Peak, it was one head or two big.

...... How did this group of people get together again!

Thinking about the last time there was a disturbance, Gu Sui couldn't help but be full of fire, although he was just a grave keeper, he was also ...... Don't really think he's an ornament!

is doing things so clearly, and you don't let his family live?

"Next time, be sure to add a rule. Gu Sui gritted his teeth, "The descendants of Lingxing Peak are not allowed to enter Qingyuan City!"

"Father, what's going on?"

A hearty male voice floated through the door, and then a heroic young man, and a younger but more stable young man walked in.

"What annoys you so much?" the young man curiously glanced at the prayer post on the case, "Farewell, this is the ...... of Spirit Star Peak"

"Don't mention those three words!" Gu Sui snorted coldly, "They have never done anything good!"

The young man was not frightened, but laughed, "Grandfather said the same thing, I want to see who is from Lingxing Peak this time!"

He stretched out his hand to take the post, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly smiled even more, "It turned out to be the little apprentice that Ming Ze Zhenjun accepted a few years ago, I heard that he is not only talented, but also beautiful, comparable to Ming Ze Zhenjun......"

"Big brother!"

The young man who had not made a sound on the side interrupted him helplessly, his eldest brother, when he was excited, there was no one on his mouth, he could say anything, Zhenjun's appearance, can they be judged by these juniors at will?

"Yong'er, you changed this problem earlier. Gu Sui shook his head, his eldest son is the same as his mother, which makes people love and anger, "Learn from your heart, if you can have half of him as calm, I can rest assured that ......"

"Rest assured? Gu Yong spread his hands, "If I can reassure you, I won't be able to see you now!"

This sentence seemed to have some magical power, and suddenly the atmosphere that was much lighter because of the arrival of Gu Yong and Gu Jin suddenly condensed, and the expressions of the three of them were not very good-looking.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Jin said: "Father, my eldest brother and I went to meet that distinguished guest. ”

Gu Sui was silent and let the two leave, and only after they left, did he sigh softly, heavy and lonely.

?

Mo Tianwei was treated by the Gu family with both eccentric and warm hospitality.

Speaking of enthusiasm, it is naturally because the Gu family has a very good attitude towards her, from the residence to the meal, they are very dedicated, and the servants who serve are also very attentive.

said that it was strange because the head of the Gu family only let people pass on a word, so he hung her out.

Mo Tianwei didn't think that the head of the Gu family had to meet her, after all, no matter how high her status was, she was only a foundation building monk now, and she was not worthy of being personally received by a Yuanying True Monarch.

She was thinking about the meaning of that sentence, what "after half a month, everything will be clear"?

It seems that the Gu family does have a secret, and this secret may not be impossible to declare - at least there is no need to hide it from her, but what may this secret be...... God unfolded?

Thinking back on the character of his own master, Mo Tianwei felt that there must be a big surprise (fright) waiting for him here in the Gu family.

Not long after packing up and staying here, a servant came to report that the two young masters of the Gu family had come to visit the disciples of the upper sect.

"Gu Yong, Gu Jin?" Mo Tianwei thought about it, and then went out to greet him.

As soon as Gu Yong saw Mo Tianwei, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "The rumors are really true!"

Mo Tian was slightly stunned, rumors?

Gu Jin glared at Gu Yong fiercely, at this moment he completely understood his father's mood, he smiled and said: "I have seen the disciples of the Shangzong, and the Taoist friends are really as rumored, with clear bones and beautiful demeanor. ”

Mo Tianwei didn't know when she became a rumored figure, so she couldn't guess what Gu Yong's words really meant, after hearing Gu Jin's explanation, she was in a little delicate, it turned out that the words of greeting when they met now were not "Have you eaten" and "The weather is so good", but "Little brother, you look so handsome", get it.

He bowed his head slightly, now learning and using, "The two Taoist friends are also dragons and phoenixes." ”

After the business was over, Mo Tianwei introduced people into the room, ordered people to serve tea, and after a bunch of nonsense, she said: "Two Gu brothers, Gu Zhenjun is ordered to wait for half a month, I don't know what to say?"

Gu Yong and Gu Jin glanced at each other, and both shook their heads, "The stakes are very high, we can't announce it, Brother Mo just needs to know that it's not a bad thing." ”

This is a nonsense, in the territory of the Sword Sect, no matter how powerful the force is, they dare not make a move against the disciples of the Sword Sect, Mo Tianwei is not worried that there will be any conspiracy of the Gu family, she is like a student who is about to take an exam, always wanting to ask the key point from the teacher's mouth.

Gu Yong admired Mo Daoyou's face very much, so he kindly added: "Don't worry, a hundred years ago, Ming Ze Zhenjun also came to my Gu family as a guest. ”

A hundred years ago?

Mo Tianwei's heart moved, a hundred years ago, the master had only just built a foundation......

After the two brothers, Gu Yong and Gu Jin, left, Mo Tianwei pondered for a moment and took out a jade slip.

Mo Tianwei loves to read all kinds of miscellaneous notes and travelogues, and for convenience, she made a map, marking the places mentioned in the miscellaneous travelogues on the map, and indicating what happened here.

Her consciousness fell to the vicinity of Qingyuan City on the map, which was blank, and there was no miscellaneous travelogue that mentioned Qingyuan City, compared to other cities near the map, which were more or less marked with red dots, this city ...... It's like it doesn't exist.

A city that doesn't exist?

Or is it an unknown city?

She tapped the red dot closest to Qingyuan City, and a clear Yue voice—well, yes, her own—sounded in her head.

"More than a thousand miles outside Jiyun City, there is a valley where resentful spirits are entrenched, and they do not disperse for a long time, screaming day and night...... Yu Wei passed through this place, and wanted to explore one or two, but to no avail......"

"After more than 100 years, I revisited my hometown, but I didn't see the valley, and the resentment was gone......"

There is no valley to be seen, and there is no resentment...... That's kind of interesting.
