The autumn wind rises and the dragon sings

Chapter 195

At this time, Zi Hao, who followed a student into the boundless gate of Xue Hai, did not know that he had been sent to another place. However, because of his plain clothes and his eyes that seemed to be slightly closed, he received many unpleasant surprises along the way. Less attention.

The student followed the instructions and took Zi Hao to the room where he was temporarily staying. Zi Hao bowed slightly to thank him. After the person left, he sat down on the bedside and pulled out the task panel.

It will take some time for Shang to start the mission. Now there is enough time to behave well and become Xuanzong's official Taoist disciple to help Shang.

Zi Hao took back the task panel and touched his closed eyes. He could only feel the touch of his fingertips, without any light.

Was this how Shang felt when he lost his sight?
The next morning, when he went to the Etiquette Department to attend class, Zi Hao groped for an empty seat and sat down. He took out the prepared "Tao Te Ching" and placed it on the table. Then, the young man in Chinese clothes sitting next to him let out a sigh and said strangely: " Why are you holding a Taoist book? This class is about etiquette."

After hearing these words, Zi Hao realized that something was wrong. He grasped the three words [rites and orders] in the words and calmly changed the book to "Book of Rites": "I took it by mistake. Thank you for reminding me."

Fortunately, there are people who practice both Confucianism and Taoism. The young man in fine clothes did not become suspicious because of this. He pursed his lips and smiled, revealing a pair of intoxicating dimples on his handsome cheeks: "You're welcome, but I don't seem to have seen you before? "

"I just arrived yesterday." Zi Hao flipped the book and replied calmly. The young man in fine clothes looked at the simple clothes of his new deskmate, then looked at the closed eyes, smiled slightly and replied, then No more words.

Silently stroking the raised fonts on the book, Zifa pulled out his task panel and saw that it read: Get No. 1 on the academic list and become an outstanding Confucian scholar before you can leave the boundless sea of ​​learning.

Retracting the panel, Zi Hao turned the book to the next page, with his fingertips slightly closed, and did not refuse the task. Learning was not difficult for him, and it would not take much time to complete the task.

Zi Hao, who was well prepared, asked the young man in Chinese clothing and learned that there will be an academic test once a month in a few days. If he can successfully get the No. 1 position, he can continue his previous plan and go to Xuanzong to become Formal Taoist.

However, things are not that simple. Although the academic test is not difficult for Zi Hao, who is Li Si, and Li Zhi Ling also thoughtfully made the fonts convex, but after the results came out, he only got a No. 2 position. , ranked No. 1 is the proud man of heaven who both teachers and students can't help but praise - Shulou Longsu.

Zi Hao, who had just received some praise from Teacher Li Bu, had no idea about this, and he didn't care who was No. 1. He just wanted to complete the task in the shortest time and leave Xuehai. Ya.

Zi Hao, who was taking his homework and planning to go to the back mountain to check it out, happened to bump into his deskmate. However, noticing the aggressive students surrounding him, Zi Hao did not step forward rashly, remembering that the adults had said that human beings are not He didn't like irrelevant people meddling in other people's business, and coupled with the calm mood of the handsome boy, he found a clean place to sit down and check his homework.

Just because he didn't care didn't mean he couldn't hear it. When he heard that those students were looking for trouble because his deskmate was firmly in the No. 1 position, Zi Hao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hear the news that Shang was squeezed out because of the position of Soul Chief, and slightly Frowning: Are the reasons why humans start disputes so inexplicable?

They still ignored it and continued to check their homework. The quarrel over there subsided after a while due to the calm sarcasm of the young man in Chinese clothes. The students who couldn't argue with each other had no choice but to leave unwillingly. The Chinese clothes were also about to leave. The young man glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that simple figure falling into his eyes, and then he walked over.

Zi Hao, who noticed someone approaching, raised his head slightly and heard the slight sound of jewelry. Knowing that it was his deskmate, he stepped aside to give up his seat and said lightly: "Good afternoon, do you want to sit down?"

"Good afternoon." The young man Long Su glanced at the stone that had been carefully wiped clean. Without paying much attention, he lifted up his robe and sat down, just leaning against the other person.

Zi Hao did not move and continued to lower his head to check his homework, but he heard the person next to him murmured and chuckled: "Congratulations on your good results. You have lived up to your previous efforts."

"Congratulations to you for getting No. 1 again. Just now the teacher praised me in front of me and hoped that I can study with you. I am still worried about not being able to find anyone." That's what he said, but The expression on his face remained unchanged, and his comfort was clearly evident.

The thoughtful young man Long Su naturally saw such an obvious intention. After smiling slightly, he took over the topic and asked: "Why do you say that? Wait, you can't sit beside me for seven days and still don't know. Xiaowu’s name?”

Zi Hao nodded honestly, and then said: "I know now, but you didn't know my name during those seven days, so it's almost even."

"Hmm... do you take your homework with you? You are really diligent and studious."

"I just want to see where the mistake is and change it so that I won't make it again next time. If you have time, can you explain it to me?" Zi Hao, who followed the topic, picked up his homework and asked seriously. , Long Su was not a stingy person, so he naturally would not refuse after hearing this. The two of them just sat on a rock and discussed the content of their homework all afternoon.

After this incident, Long Su couldn't help but pay some attention to this deskmate who had a diseased eye but was too calm and usually taciturn. However, Zi Hao still concentrated on completing the task and paid a lot of attention to the colleague who learned his name. The same attitude of nodding and greeting at the table is the same as before, unless there is something about study that requires the other party to teach and explain.

After another month of getting along like this, the two of them somehow became tepid friends, and because Zi Hao had an insight into Long Su's piano sound, the two became close friends in music.

But Zi Hao still didn't pay too much attention to this. He only cared about the progress of his mission. After learning that he had become No. 2 again, he didn't have much reaction. After all, Long Su's excellence was an undoubted fact. I'm a little worried that this task will never be completed.

"You don't seem to be satisfied with this result?" It was rare to see a slight change in the mood of his indifferent deskmate. Long Su couldn't help but be curious. Zi Hao shook his head, hugged the book and planned to leave: "I just think it's still a little bit behind, you know?" So, I’ll go back and check for errors first.”

"Wait a minute." Long Su followed behind him and stopped the person, then looked at the sky and said, "It's rest time now. Even if you want to study, you have to wait until you've eaten and drank enough. You've only eaten this month. Some steamed buns and water, but don’t make fun of your body before you are inedulated.”

"...That's fine." Not wanting to be noticed by others, Zi Hao nodded in agreement and followed the people out to have dinner. Long Su led the people to a luxuriously decorated inn, and then looked at the people in front of him. I asked seriously for a small portion of steamed buns and water.

"Are you saving money for me?"

"No, it's just that I don't need to eat too much, it's easy to waste."

Longsu didn't say anything when he heard this. After the two of them finished their meal in silence, they went back to rest.

As a result, at noon the next day, when Zi Hao planned to go to the back mountain to sort out what he had just learned, Long Su was already sitting upright and waiting in the pavilion at the back mountain. The stone table in front of him was filled with various types of food, facing Zi Hao. After Hao dropped the words "eat", he stood up and left.

Naturally, Zi Hao couldn't finish it. He didn't have the need to eat like humans. After estimating the value of the food, he lowered his head and took a few bites, then threw it aside and continued to sort out the contents in the book. content.

In the end, those meals were wasted as a matter of course. Long Su half-seriously complained that his good intentions were let down, while Zi Hao seriously stated that he really didn't need to eat too much and suggested that the other party save as much as possible. money.

Being able to save money is not a good thing for Shulou Longsu. So Zifa, who was taken out for breakfast the next day, received a surprise: In order to allow him to eat on time, the other party helped him pay for a year's worth of restaurants. It's a waste of a day's money to eat.

Seeing this, Zi Hao couldn't help but think of a word he learned from Yun Fei: rich and willful.Then before the food was served, he continued to talk about the benefits of saving money. Longsu said that the money was nothing, mainly because the other party could bring him some fun. As a result, the two of them had their own opinions, and in the end they just I just let it go and jumped from this topic to studying.

However, almost half a year has passed, Zi Hao is still ranked No. 2, and Long Su, who is firmly ranked No. 1, has become a new subject of discussion, and Xuehai Wuya also gave it to the students at the beginning of winter. I will take a few days off and resume classes after the Chinese New Year.

In the back mountain, Zi Hao was leaning under a pavilion with his eyes closed, thinking about how to complete the task. He had spent too much time on this task.

"You are indeed here."

The soft sound of stepping on the snow gradually approached, and Long Su, who was wearing a purple velvet fox fur, strolled over, then sat down next to him: "Why don't you go back?"

Zi Hao raised his hand and patted the snowflakes that fell on him. He closed his eyes and looked at the back mountain. Although he couldn't see it, he could guess that it had been dyed white by the snow. He said calmly: "My hometown is too far away from here. I still have things to do, so I can't go back now. The New Year is coming, why are you here?"

"I guessed that you didn't leave, so I came to confirm my guess. By the way..." Jin Mu looked at the calm and indifferent face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his tone was a little softer: "I invite you to spend this time with me. New Year.”

"Invite me?" Zi Cong showed some doubts on his face, expressing his confusion. Just when he was thinking about whether to refuse, the mission panel issued a prompt. He looked at it carefully and saw that the first half of the mission was completed, and he couldn't help but look soft. , the corner of his mouth slowly raised into a smile.

Zi Hao's appearance is not bad. In order to join Xuanzong, he specially made himself look like a fairy. When he is not smiling, he has a sense of distance. Once he smiles from the heart, he will be warm to the bones. It is like a warm sun in the white snow, making people want to get closer unconsciously.

Suddenly seeing a smile blooming on the indifferent face, Long Su couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to touch that face, wanting to... keep it.

"it is good."

Zi Hao, who couldn't see anything, responded gently and lowered his head to pack the books. Long Su noticed his movements and calmly retracted his outstretched hand. He looked at his face that had returned to indifference and rubbed it unconsciously with his fingertips.

Longsu's residence was equally luxurious and exquisite, but it was too quiet and seemed a bit deserted. Zi Hao asked about it, and Longsu explained that because the Chinese New Year was approaching, the attendants who usually served here were given a few days off. Now this residence Only myself.

After saying that, he looked at the person in front of him again and smiled slightly: "Now there's another one of you."

"Well..." Zi Hao had no idea about this. He just counted the time secretly and said, "It's time to cook New Year's Eve dinner."

"Are you going to cook it yourself?"

"Okay, just think of it as my thanks for taking care of me over the past six months."

"That's fine, but we can't let this meal go to waste."

Zi Hao nodded lightly, then turned around and entered the kitchen. Long Su, who followed him, seemed to have thought of something, his eyes darkened a little, and then he left a sentence: "Just call me in the study later."

After receiving the reply, Long Su glanced at the kitchen with dark eyes, then turned and entered the study.

After preparing the meals and placing them one by one, Zi Cong went to call for help and opened one of the rooms based on his own judgment.

At this time, Long Su was talking to a man dressed as a swordsman. Zi Hao, who suddenly pushed the door open and entered, felt something. He turned sideways to avoid the sword that was coming at a high speed. The finger that usually held the pen flexibly hit the swordsman's wrist. , the crisp sound of broken bones was particularly clear in the room where no one was making any sound, and the long sword immediately fell to the ground.

"Did I bother you?" Zi Hao, who had his wrist crippled, seemed as if nothing had happened. He walked around the swordsman who was covering his hands and gritting his teeth, and gradually approached Long Su's position.

Long Su suppressed the guard in his heart and replied with a slight smile: "No, why are you here?"

"It's time to eat."

"I see."

"Yes." After calling him, Zi Hao then walked around the swordsman and went out. Long Su raised his hand to signal the swordsman to leave. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the hall.

Zi Hao, who was sitting at the table waiting, stood up and helped pull out the chair. His face was as indifferent as ever. What just happened had no impact on him.

"Aren't you curious?" Long Su couldn't help but speak. Zi Hao shook his head indifferently: "This is your business and has nothing to do with me."

"I'm very curious. You don't care about fame, fortune, or money, but you care about rankings that mean nothing. Is there some mystery hidden in this?"

"No, it's just that that's the only thing I can care about now." When it came to the task, Zi Hao became a lot more indifferent: "Let's eat first. I have something to ask for your help."

"You are really direct. Let's talk about it first."

"How to get to Xuanzong."

"Xuanzong?" Long Su was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, looked at Zifa's unfazed expression, and continued: "Xuanzong is in the Tao realm. If a person in a miserable state wants to go to the Tao realm, he must pass through the dark path. You can only go there with the help of Shiming Lantern. Why are you going to Xuanzong?"

Thinking of the "Tao Te Ching" that was placed on the table on the first day of class, Long Su couldn't help but wonder if the other party felt that compared to the Confucian sect with many rules, Taoism, which emphasized spontaneity and nature, was more suitable for him.

"I'm curious, I want to take a look." Zi Hao said these five words expressionlessly. Long Su looked at the other person's expression and couldn't help laughing: "Your tone doesn't sound like you are curious, but I It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I can accompany you for a walk."

"Thank you." Zi Hao put a dish in the bowl to express his gratitude. Long Su didn't think about what happened just now and suggested: "If you really want to thank me, why don't you listen to me play a song for a while and make an evaluation?" ?”

"You have something on your mind, so the music you play must be heavy and lonely. Why not let me evaluate it when you are in a calm state of mind."

"...You are really not polite at all, so let's continue talking about the knowledge you have learned."

"can."

As a result, the conversation lasted all night. In the end, Long Su, who was too lazy to decorate the room, simply slept with him on the small bed in the study room. Zi Hao had no objection and moved outside to make room for him.

Steady breathing sounded soon, and Long Su looked at the defenseless sleeping face and sat up gently.

Zi Hao, who didn't need to sleep, was actually very awake. He heard a slight noise coming from beside him, and thought that the other person was not used to sleeping together. When he was about to move out more, he put his slightly cold fingertips on his face, and then Massage gently.

Ok?
Zi Hao was stunned and didn't understand why the other person didn't sleep and touched his face. However, thinking that it was winter and the weather was relatively cold, Yun Fei liked to touch other people's necks to keep them warm when her hands were cold.It seemed that the other party had woken up from the cold and was embarrassed to touch his neck like Yunfei did, so he touched his face carefully.

Feeling the gentle touch on his face, Zi Hao felt that he had guessed correctly, so he ignored it. Anyway, the temperature of this body was controllable and could not cool him.

Then the next day, Zi Hao, whose legs had been pressed all night, sat expressionlessly on the edge of the bed, facing the person who had just gotten up. Long Su pursed his lips and coughed lightly, trying to change the topic: "The time is just right, first Let’s go to the dark passage and have a look.”

Zi Hao didn't move, and Long Su asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

"The legs are numb."

"Hmm... let me rub it for you."

"Your food is very good."

"..." Is this a disguised way of calling him heavy?
The incomparably gorgeous Long Su would naturally not admit the implication. He pretended that nothing happened and went to the dark road with Zi Hao who was rubbing his legs. Although everyone had gone back to celebrate the festival, Illuminating the World still held the lantern dutifully. Help guide the way inside.

At this time, Xuanzong was filled with the lively atmosphere of the arrival of the New Year, which somewhat dissipated the sadness caused by the defeat.

Longsu seemed to have been here before. The familiar Dai Ziying arrived in front of Xuanzong's dojo. Two Taoists carrying swords stood at the gate. When they saw two people with very different styles, one of the Taoists came up to him and bowed his head.

Longsu and Zigao bowed in return. After explaining their intention, the other party welcomed them and then led the way enthusiastically.

"The murderous atmosphere has not dissipated here, but a war just broke out not long ago?" Zi Hao smelled the faint smell of blood and asked calmly.

"Fellow Taoist is right. This place was indeed invaded by the demon world before, and because two demons with profound cultivation suddenly appeared on the battlefield, this place was almost lost. If it weren't for a few martial uncles who were not afraid of death..." Then When the Taoist said that, his voice was choked with sobs.

"Just two demons?" Zi Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, with a suitably curious look on his face, which caused Long Su to look sideways.

The Taoist nodded and did not hide anything: "I also heard what the senior brothers on the battlefield said. One of the two demons was very strange. He used to be an undercover Xuanzong, but he escaped by chance after being discovered by senior brother Cang, and then appeared again. At that time, there was no trace of demonic energy at all, but instead he was filled with deathly energy. However, the deathly energy was different from the ordinary deathly energy. It could swallow up the Dao energy and destroy the formation, so many uncles died at the hands of that demon."

Zi Hao looked solemn: "So, this demon is a difficult threat to the Taoist sect. What countermeasures can the Taoist priests have to get rid of him?"

Daozi sighed and shook his head: "The strength of the other demon should not be underestimated. He cares about that demon very much. If there is no foolproof plan, I am afraid it will lead to terrible revenge."

Zi Hao nodded in agreement and did not continue the topic. Long Su beside him narrowed his golden eyes and secretly sorted out the information in the conversation.After entering Xuanzong, Zihao was curious about the place as he said and wanted to walk around. Seeing that Zihao had a disease in his eyes, the Taoist offered to continue leading the way, and neither of them objected.

Perhaps to take care of the invisible Zi Hao, the Daozi described every place very seriously. Zi Hao also cooperated with a look of admiration. He looked more vivid than before, making Long Su wonder if the other party wanted to Abandoned Confucianism and followed Taoism.

However, this doubt was completely dispelled when he met a seriously injured Taoist.

After Zi Hao learned that the Taoist was injured on the battlefield, he offered to help heal the injury, because Zi Hao looked like a fairy and did not look like a villain who was behind the scenes. Having developed a certain liking for him, the Taoist did not refuse.

Zi Hao walked up to the Taoist, his palms glowed softly, and he gently pressed on his seriously injured shoulder. The injury slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Taoist's face was filled with joy and he was about to thank him when he saw Zi Hao with his eyes closed in front of him. His eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes. The endless black color spread instantly and occupied his soul consciousness.

Because his back was turned and Zi Hao quickly closed his eyes, no one noticed anything unusual.

Except, Longsu.

Most of Taoist's injuries were recovered, and he felt no discomfort. He was able to return to the battlefield soon. Taozi was grateful and thanked him, and led the way more enthusiastically.

As night fell, Na Daozi took the two of them to the main hall to meet with the Xuanzong Sect Master. After a brief chat, the Sect Master asked Na Daozi to take the two of them to the guest room to rest.

When leaving the main hall, a Taozi wearing a purple robe came towards me with his eyes half-opened and half-closed. The Taozi who led the way called him "Senior Brother Cang". The Taozi in purple nodded slightly in response, passed by the three of them, and walked in. Main hall.

With his extraordinary hearing, he could faintly hear words such as "devil" and "seize the body", and then he withdrew his mind and ignored them.

The guest rooms of the two were next to each other. After Daozi left, Long Su, who had been silent, shook the fan in his hand and asked, "You seem to be very concerned about that demon?"

"A demon without any demonic aura has the conditions for people to care about it." Zi Hao fumbled and sat down at the table, poured a cup of warm tea, and answered calmly.

"But not you." Long Su sat down next to him and handed the tea cup over: "Could it be the physique of the demon?"

Zi Hao did not answer this time. Instead, when he noticed that the other party handed over the teacup, he poured the tea for him. It was a bit like covering up the situation, which made people feel that he had acquiesced.

However, Long Su thinks there are other reasons. If the other party really cares about physical fitness, there is no need to choose a demon. Isn't he himself a better candidate?

It's just that Zi Hao didn't want people to know things that he couldn't find out no matter what. Long Su didn't want to waste his words and offend people. After changing the topic and chatting for a few words, he went back to his guest room to rest.

Zi Hao had no intention of going out in the next few days, but when Long Su came to invite him, he would not refuse. He and the other party started to play in the Tao realm, as if they really came to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Until the night before the war between Xuanzong and the demon world, Zi Hao quietly left the guest room and came to a remote cliff. At this time, a demon with white hair and red eyes was waiting here. He bowed respectfully and saluted: " I’ve met Reiji.”

Zi Hao looked cold: "Are you from the future?"

Jiangyin nodded: "Yes."

"What are you looking for?"

"It concerns the master's safety, I beg you, Chief of Ceremonies..."

"As a system, you should understand..." Zi Hao interrupted the rest of the words and said coldly: "What does the word [future] mean?"

"I understand." Jiang Yin smiled bitterly and said, "But there are some things that you have to try to find out."

"You don't have to waste your words." Zi Hao's expression was still cold: "Your Excellency has known for a long time that there would be such a situation, so we have made a rule that no one in the future can change the past. Otherwise, my father who was executed would have been killed long ago. It was resurrected through this loophole.”

"It was actually established by the Lord..." Jiang Yin looked bitter, then shook her head slightly: "It is my subordinate who thinks he is right. Seeing Li Si here, it seems that the master's remaining tasks can be successfully completed."

"You must also be careful. You must leave this world before it begins. If you are expelled by Heaven's own hands, it will have an impact on Shang itself."

"My subordinate understands." Jiangyin lowered his head in response. Seeing Zi Hao turn around and leave, he bent down again and saluted: "Best regards, Sir."

After handling the matter, Zi Hao returned to the guest room. The moment he entered, he felt the presence of others and said calmly: "Long Su, do you have a problem with me?"

After saying that, he fumbled and sat down at the table, used his internal energy to warm the water in the teapot, and then fumbled to pour the tea.

Long Su, who was sitting in the darkness, watched the other party's movements, narrowed his eyes slightly, and reached out to take the tea handed to him: "It's cold outside. If you want to enjoy the snow, you can come with me tomorrow."

"It's not just admiring the snow, but thinking about something."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"It's a small matter." Zi Hao had no intention of explaining and changed the subject: "It's getting late, Long Su, you'd better go to bed early. I plan to leave tomorrow."

Long Su was silent for a moment. He didn't ask what happened or why he left suddenly. He just nodded lightly and responded with one word.

"it is good."

After dawn, the battle between Xuanzong and the Demon Realm began again, and there were already sounds of fighting outside the dojo.

Zi Hao sat quietly in the room, took out a sandalwood piano, placed it flat on the table, placed the strings with his fingertips, and plucked it lightly with his fingers.

"Zheng-"

The sound of the piano sounded for a moment, and it turned into the eyes of a Taoist on the battlefield. The cold ink color scanned the surroundings, and then fell on a demon exuding death. The long sword was drawn out, and the body shape was instantaneous, and then -

One hit kill!

The demonic figure dispersed, the system prompt sounded, the figure retreated to the original place, the black color disappeared, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Zi Hao destroyed the sandalwood piano on the table, leaving only a few strings, and murmured in a low voice: "Sure enough, I still don't like playing the piano."

Then he picked up the strings, pushed open the door and walked outside the house, and nodded gently to Long Su standing outside the door shaking the fan.

"Let's go."

After returning to the predicament again, Zi Hao prepared for the entrance examination as usual, or occasionally went to stay for a few days at the invitation of Long Su, talking about knowledge with him, and sometimes "happened" to meet him and him. The others didn't care what they were discussing, and the two of them never mentioned what happened in the Tao realm before.

Just like that, when Xue Hai Wu Ya resumed classes, Zi Hao no longer cared much about his ranking during the exam. He was originally here to help Shang complete the task, but now that the other party had gone back, he had no reason to stay.

But on the day of the exam, Longsu was inexplicably absent and did not show up until the end of the exam. In this way, Zifa completed the task of being No. 1 on the academic list and learned from others that Longsu was recovering from an accidental injury. things.

Thinking that the other party had taken good care of him in the past six months and was his only friend in the world, Zi Hao planned to visit him before leaving.

The attendant led him outside the house. As soon as Zi Hao opened the door and walked in, he smelled a lingering smell of blood. Long Su was sitting on the bed with a pale face at this time. It seemed that the injury was not as bad as it was said outside. Simple.

Zi Hao approached and grabbed the wrist before the person spoke, and then used his strength to help treat it. After feeling that the pulse was not as weak as before, he took it back and asked, "Why is it so seriously injured?"

"It's just some trivial matters... I heard that you finally got the No. 1 position. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Zi Hao nodded lightly, and then said his purpose of coming: "Now that I have got it, I have to leave. I also want to say goodbye to you."

"Leave?" Long Su couldn't help but be startled. After confirming that Zi Hao was serious, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you leaving now?"

"Maybe it will take a few more days." After all, the teacher from the Ministry of Rites has been imparting knowledge for nearly half a year, and he has to explain everything before leaving.

Long Su didn't ask much about the reason. After all, the appearance of the other party was a mystery. It gave him the feeling that he was here to complete something and would leave after completing it. He just regretted losing a person he would use in the future: "Since So, can you play a piece of music to accompany me to sleep? I have known you for half a year, but I have never heard you play a piece of music. I only watched from the sidelines at the club."

Zi Hao was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. After the attendant brought the piano up, he wiped his hands and burned incense, lowered his head and played a piece at random.

The melody is like an indifferent character, calm and waveless. He can only hear the music without his own emotions in it. This is why he doesn't want to play the piano. As the adults said, his piano sound is dead.

Long Su didn't comment on it. After quietly listening to the emotionless music, he joked: "I understand why you have never played the piano."

Zi Hao nodded: "It's really unpleasant."

"Ha, it's not that bad." Long Su chuckled, and suddenly said: "As your friend, can I make a request?"

"can."

"I think..." Long Su raised his eyes, looked at the other person's closed eyes, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Look at your eyes."

Zi Hao was stunned. After a moment of silence, he stood up and came to Long Su. He lowered his head slightly and stretched his hands behind his head.

"I……"

Zi Hao spoke softly, and Long Su suddenly felt something was wrong. Before he could react, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness.

"...Refuse." Zi Hao took his hand back, uttered the last two words, tucked the quilt under the quilt, turned around and left.

Headquarters.

A little girl wearing an apricot-colored dress with silver edges and a double bun. She looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. She was wearing a purple dress with a snowflake pattern embroidered with silver thread. Her long snow-white hair was The girl with her amethyst hair tied up and her face wearing a purple gauze, her breath cold, raised her hand to fiddle with the red rope on her wrist.

"Why did you suddenly call me back?" Zi Hao, who had been called back to the Ministry of Rites before he had time to say goodbye to Li Zhiling, appeared in front of the two of them and asked calmly.

"Brother." The purple-clothed girl saluted, and the little girl complained unceremoniously: "It's not because you haven't come back yet, and Shangdu has gone on a mission again. You must be too happy to be in that world... …Ouch!”

The girl in purple retracted her hand and frowned unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense."

The little girl rubbed her red and swollen forehead and curled her lips. Hearing this, Zi Hao frowned slightly: "Didn't Shang just finish his mission?"

"It's not like you don't know the virtues of those elders. Just like the reincarnation of Zhou Bapi, they don't let Shang rest at all." The little girl said and made a cut.

The girl in purple said seriously: "Brother, I checked the situation of that world and found that the world was on the verge of collapse. If the protagonist hadn't made a bet with human nature and the way of heaven, I'm afraid that the way of heaven would have been destroyed long ago. Those elders I'm afraid I might have other motives for letting Shang go to such a world."

"Could it be that they want Shang to be involved and take the opportunity to get rid of Shang?" the little girl guessed, and Zifa thought further: "More than that, they may also want the power of rules."

"What a wonderful idea they have!" the little girl gritted her teeth and sneered.

The purple-clothed girl reacted calmly: "It seems that the mission person will approach Shang as a friend. He has a plan for a long time."

"What kind of friend is that? He's smooth-tongued and very stingy. He only gave me an ordinary sword as a gift. He can't even compare to me!" The little girl looked disgusted. The girl in purple reminded lightly: "Your spiritual sword, It hurts Shang.”

The little girl suddenly became depressed and whispered: "I forgot that Shang is not in good health. If I had known, I would have killed that sword spirit first... Well, since you are back with poker face, then send me to Shang and let me Make up for it.”

"Shang is not angry." Zi Hao shook his head gently, not paying attention to the title: "You can't control your emotions, so you are not suitable to help."

"Please, I'm still a child. You actually let a child control your emotions. You're still not a human being." The little girl said in an exaggerated tone.

"I'm not."

"...You are amazing." The little girl was speechless for a moment and said, "So, you should go this time, right? Then what identity do you plan to take, or will you be a Taoist priest?"

"The only devil in that world."

The girl in purple frowned: "Lan doesn't seem to have had a demon body. Will it waste a lot of time?"

"I can be a demon with Buddha nature."

"How does a demon become a Buddha?" The little girl looked curious. Zi Hao raised his hand and touched the top of the other person's hair and smiled lightly: "Since a Buddha can become a demon, a demon can also become a Buddha. And the protagonist is a Buddha."

The little girl came back to her senses and couldn't help but smack her lips: "You are so dark."

Zi Hao took back his hand and said to the girl in purple: "Wan Huan, be prepared. When I come back, I will carry out a big cleaning. If you don't know anything, ask the adults."

The purple-clothed girl nodded, and the little girl refused to be left alone and said, "What about me? Why don't you let me make trouble for those elders? I'm the best at causing trouble."

"Shang didn't say that he would take action against those elders. Yun Fei, I remember that you still have a lot of matters to deal with. If you haven't solved it when I come back, double the number."

"Devil you! I'm still a child!"
