The autumn wind rises and the dragon sings

Chapter 197 Entering the headquarters and making speculations
Distant headquarters.

In the clouds formed by the condensed spiritual energy, two beautiful figures could be faintly seen standing side by side, as if waiting for something.

"I remember that I was the one to greet you this time."

A cold female voice sounded. I followed the sound and saw a woman wearing a purple dress embroidered with snow and silver thread. Her long snow-white hair was tied up with a purple jade hairpin engraved with a fox pattern. An amethyst jade ornament hung between her eyebrows. , the face is covered by purple gauze, the girl holding a purple-eyed white fox has a cold temperament and a sense of distance.

"Huan~ I'm almost bored to death. You see you are so busy, why not let me be the pick-up person this time~"

Standing next to her is a girl wearing an apricot-colored skirt with silver rims, a feather pattern embroidered on the clothes, a jade belt around her waist and a soft sword wrapped around her waist, a lively and cheerful smile, and a face that looks like she is no more than [-] years old. , Hearing this, he tugged on the other party's sleeves, and while begging, he gently stroked two white foxes in the other party's arms.

"Okay, take it easy this time and don't scare people away." The girl in purple had no intention of arguing about this and reminded her calmly.

"How can I be so scary..." He muttered softly, but found that the space in front of him was distorted. He immediately retracted his hands and folded them lightly on his waist, looking dignified and gentle.

When Huanyu Qizang followed the little bird away, he only felt the dazzling light coming from him. He closed his eyes subconsciously. Then he felt a strange tremor coming from his body, and the energy in his Dantian became disordered.

But it didn't last long. After the dazzling light disappeared, the strangeness on his body also disappeared, and a gentle male voice came from his ears: "We're here."

Huanyu Qizang opened his eyes, and saw a cold silvery white color. There was spiritual energy floating in the air. The snow-white feathered bird chirped and flew to the shoulder of the smiling girl. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Master, Bei Master Ming, we have been brought here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Chu Ling." The girl smiled gently, raised her eyes to look at Huanyu Qizang, bowed slightly and saluted: "Welcome to your arrival, my name is Yunfei, and I am your receptionist."

The girl in purple hugged the white fox and gave a slight salute to Huanyu Qizang. Her tone was cold: "My name is Beiming Wanhuan, and I am here to accompany you."

Huanyu Qizang returned the greeting with a fan: "My name is Huanyu Qizang. You two girls are polite."

"Your Excellency, please come with me. This is not a good place to talk." Yun Fei raised her hand slightly in a "please" gesture.

Huanyu Qizang nodded slightly to express his understanding.

When Yun Fei turned around to lead the way, she quietly raised her hand to rub her cheeks that were sore from laughing. Seeing this, Beiming Wanhuan on the side twitched the corners of her mouth under the veil, touched the white fox in her arms, and said nothing.

During the silent journey, Huanyu Qizang saw many buildings containing spiritual energy, but he did not meet any other living people. Instead, he felt many inquiring eyes, but after these eyes fell on Beiming Wanhuan and Yun Fei, They all disappeared quickly, seemingly in fear.

"Why don't you see anyone else?" Huanyu Qizang wondered secretly, with a curious look on his face.

"Because this is the place where the elders live. When we pass by with you, we are actually demonstrating." Yun Fei smiled, still gentle and virtuous: "Lest some people who don't know what to do will attack you, thinking that you You are unprotected and can be bullied at will."

"So that's it..." Huanyu Qizang suddenly smiled, and then asked: "They seem to be very afraid of the two girls?"

Beiming Wanhuan replied coldly: "Because there is a saying among them that among the five of us, the younger we are, the crazier we are."

"And I am the youngest one (ゝω)" Yunfei winked mischievously and explained with a smile: "Of course, it may be because the two of us like to train our proficiency in assassination every three days. So let them be afraid."

"You are responsible for the lookout." Beiming Wanhuan rubbed the ears of the white fox in her arms and was speechless: "As soon as someone finds out, you will kill him."

"As long as we kill the person who discovered it, no one will know that our assassination failed~" Yunfei looked innocent, Beiming Wanhuan didn't bother to argue, and said to Huanyu Qizang: "Yunfei is your guide, but no Limit your freedom, and if you don’t want to be around her, you can apply for a replacement.”

"No, it's not easy for a new beauty to come in. I haven't had time to appreciate it yet ()" Yun Fei expressed her grievance, and Beiming Wan Huan gave her a vague look: "You have exposed your true nature." Yun Fei said that she still wanted to Can be rescued: "I can knock him out, and when he wakes up, he will say it was a dream ψ(｀)ψ" Then he looked over: "Beauty, what do you think?"

"I think girls can call me by my name..." Huanyu Qizang didn't know why the topic was so twisted, so he tried to change it: "Are there any restrictions on applying for a substitution?"

"No~" Yun Fei huffed and said with a more serious expression: "However, you'd better not choose those elders out of curiosity."

"Is it because the two girls have any grudge against them?" Huanyu Qizang asked.

Yun Fei said righteously: "Are we the kind of people who use personal grievances to target them privately?"

"Yes." Then the two of them answered in unison.

"..." It's true, it's not disguised at all.Huanyu Qizang, who likes to test people, heard this and didn't know what to say for a moment.

During the conversation, I suddenly felt that my body had passed through a layer of cold barrier, and the majestic spiritual energy rushed towards my face. The coolness of the spirit immediately made my spirit, energy and spirit much more alive. The spiritual energy I felt before was different from that here. Nothing compares to it.

"Ah, the air here is still fresh, but it's so smoky there that it's just torturing my respiratory tract." Yun Fei stretched out, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Lord Yunfei, Lord Beiming."

A young man wearing a silver-white uniform and crisp short hair passed by and said hello to the two. After receiving a response, he looked at Huanyu Qizang behind him: "Is this a new colleague?"

"Yes, I am his guide." Yun Fei's eyes were crooked, obviously in a good mood.

"Oh!" The young man stood in awe for a moment. After giving Huanyu Qizang a sympathetic look, he made an excuse and ran away.

"..." Huanyu Qizang realized something was wrong.

"...Ahem, now let me explain why you can't go to the elders. It's mainly related to the [Great Purge] later, which means they won't be able to stay for long. You just arrived, so there's no need to disappear so quickly." Yun Fei I felt a little embarrassed, and then explained thoughtfully.

[Great Purge]…

Huanyu Qizang's eyes darkened slightly, and he said with a slight smile: "Young lady told me about this, aren't you worried that I will reveal it to the elders?"

"Ah, don't worry." Yun Fei stretched out her hand to the white fox in Beiming Wan Huan's arms, stroking it happily: "You are a smart person, you know what is good for you and what is just a waste of time. Of course, if you If you want, I don’t mind if you join the elders.”

Beiming Wanhuan answered coldly: "After all, they are too stupid. If there is a smart person, they won't be so boring."

Huanyu Qizang was once again made dumbfounded by such straightforward words. At the same time, it could be seen that the two of them were not arrogant in saying this. They had this confidence, and then asked: "If this is the case, why do you still keep them?" ?”

Yun Fei took back her hand and sighed: "Because Shang needs it, otherwise they would have been dealt with by their poker face just because of their little thoughts."

Beiming Wanhuan glanced at her: "That's my brother."

"Okay, okay, brother, brother..." Yun Fei called out twice without sincerity, and then said to Huanyu Qizang: "Although I am your receptionist, I still have to go and talk to Lan first. If you have any opinions, you can take the opportunity to put them forward."

Beiming Wanhuan turned around first: "Let's go."

Yun Fei dutifully acted as the guide and walked side by side with Huanyu Qizang. After seeing that he was not disgusted by this, she felt relieved and teased the feather bird on her shoulder.

There is mist condensed by spiritual energy everywhere, and you can only vaguely see pavilions and pavilions-like buildings in the distance. The rest of the details are very blurry. As the distance gets farther and farther, stars begin to appear under your feet. Landscape, the mist is getting thicker.

Beiming Wanhuan, who was walking in front, stopped.

"Chu Ling, open the door."

Yun Fei opened her mouth to give instructions, and at the same time raised her hand to form a seal. The feather bird let out a loud cry, and the white feathers scattered all over its body, turning into obscure formations that merged with the mark in Yun Fei's hand.

The stars were moving underfoot, and there was a faint knock on the door. The white mist transformed by the spiritual energy dispersed, and the sky was filled with pink.

A big tree with a trunk as clear as jade stands quietly in the sky full of stars. Its dark flowing branches stretch out, and its pink and soft petals bloom freely from above. There is a radiant flower blooming between the goose-yellow stamens. There are cherry-colored pearl fruits, and small human figures can be faintly seen walking among them.

A figure also stood quietly under the tree, wearing a curtain made of pink gauze. The pink gauze hung down to his heels, with petals falling all over his body. He held a glass lantern on his slender fingertips, and the blue light danced. The jade-colored lily of the valley hanging down from the lamp handle floats in the wind, making a crisp ringing sound.

"Lan, we brought the people here." Yunfei caught the feather bird flying towards her and waved to the figure.

"Thank you for your hard work." A gentle and kind female voice sounded, giving people an inexplicable illusion of being in the warm spring breeze, and they unconsciously felt a little closer to her. "Are you... Zilan?" Huanyu Qizang looked at the figure whose face he didn't know. The immature face of the girl appeared in his mind, and he frowned slightly: "Clone?"

"To be precise, it's consciousness." The female voice replied softly, her voice was so soft that no negative emotions could be heard: "Please get used to it first, and feel free to point out any issues with poor reception, but there are relatively few people here. , everything is served by puppets, please forgive me."

His attitude is gentle and polite, but also distant.

Huanyu Qizang glanced at the towering tree behind him that emitted strange fluctuations, and nodded slightly: "Then, you don't mind if I use a puppet to study it, right?"

"Your Excellency, do as you please."

"It turns out you didn't come here because you wanted to do a mission, so all the planning I did all morning was in vain, alas..." Yun Fei looked disappointed.

Seeing this, Huanyu Qizang said politely: "Since the girl has done it, let me see it."

"Okay, okay~ I have put the plan at your residence, let Chu Ling take you there, remember to follow the instructions above~"

"I...try my best."

Huanyu Qizang, who originally wanted to agree, immediately changed his mind when he saw Beiming Wanhuan tilting his head slightly and looking at him with cold purple eyes, with a hint of self-righteousness.

"Farewell."

After Yunori left with Huanyu Qizang, Beiming Wanhuan looked at Yunfei who was laughing and asked silently: "What plan did you write?"

Yun Fei shrugged: "Nothing, just watch a hundred horror movies, romance movies, suspense movies, etc., and then write down my thoughts after reading them, that's all."

"...I remember, we were still making rice dumplings in the morning, right?"

"Yes."

"You have so much energy." Beiming Wanhuan was too lazy to complain and changed the subject: "Didn't you say you wanted to file a complaint before? By the way, tell me what happened."

"Yeah, I almost forgot." Yun Fei came back to her senses, ran all the way to Lan who was standing with a lamp, and said angrily: "Lan, that guy lied to me!"

Lan let out a chuckle and stretched out her hand to touch her head: "What did Shao Tiao trick you into again?"

Yun Fei grabbed Lan's hand and complained: "The guy before found out that there was something wrong with the world that Shang and the others were in now. The way of heaven was swallowed up by unknown things. When it arrived, only the ignorant rules were still there. It is running, and in order to prevent the world without the Way of Heaven from being further encroached on, it looks for an existence that can become a new way of Heaven."

When Beiming Wanhuan heard this, he almost understood: "Could it be that that being is not easy to persuade, so he tricked you into becoming a lobbyist, handing over the rules, and letting that being become the new way of heaven?"

"That's right! That guy said that the world was very peaceful and peaceful, and it was a good place to play. It would be a pity to destroy it. If I can convince the other party to become a new Tiandao, I will let Shang go to that world to be a storyteller, and then let Poker Face write Tell Shang the book." After saying this, Yun Fei showed a proud smile on her face.

Beiming Wanhuan glanced at her: "Did you succeed in persuading me?"

Yun Fei's smile froze, and she shook her head dejectedly: "No, the other party started fighting with me while we were talking, so I definitely couldn't bear it, so I fought back. Later, when the other party wasn't paying attention, I threw away the rules. After we passed by and saw that the rules recognized the other party as the new Tiandao, I ran away."

"Oh, was it the time before when you were beaten until you were covered in blood and had to lie in bed for several years to recover from your injuries?" Beiming Wanhuan said, with a slight smile in her eyes.

Yun Fei muttered unconvinced: "The other party is a god of war, of course I can't beat him... The main reason is that that guy lied to me and promised Shang to be a storyteller, forget it but failed to do so, and asked Shang to be a Taoist priest. This is not what he used to do. To rub salt into the wound..."

Lan listened quietly for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "Actually, Shao Tong didn't lie to you."

"Didn't you lie to me?" Yun Fei looked confused, and when she saw him nodding slightly, his expression was solemn: "Could it be..."

"Shang's mission has been changed with someone else's." Beiming Wanhuan said coldly, with a chill in his eyes: "Do you want me to check?"

"No, speaking of it..." Lan seemed to have thought of something, with a hint of smile in her words: "Both parties didn't know about it, and Shang changed it unintentionally. A strong desire to survive, sometimes to a person It's very attractive."

"That's it. If Shang doesn't have any objections, just leave it alone." Yun Fei relaxed and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. Yunfei, when you handed over the rules to the other party, did you tell the other party how to use it?" Lan shook her head and asked.

Yun Fei's smile froze, full of guilt: "Uh... isn't this, this comes with it? Do you need to tell me something else?"

"There is no need to tell the Heavenly Dao cultivated by the original source. The re-selected ones are not so consistent with the original source. Naturally, there is no corresponding knowledge. No wonder so many missionaries have disappeared."

Lan sighed and didn't know what to say for a moment. She knew Shao Tong's temperament, and it would be an extreme act of kindness to think of finding a new Tiandao to maintain order. After all, it was not the world under its jurisdiction, and the new Tiandao was probably also arrogant. Yes, I would not choose to ask for help from the outside world. It is not bad that it can last for so long before collapsing.

In the end, Lan could only say: "I will handle this matter, you don't need to pay attention to it."

Yun Fei and Beiming Wan Huan looked at each other secretly and nodded: "Okay."

"Oh, there's one more thing." Yun Fei thought about what Chu Ling brought back, and couldn't help but look puzzled: "Chu Ling said, let us go to the elders to get back the power of rules that the protagonist gave him for safekeeping, but Didn’t Poker Face put the power of rules on Shang? Why did he say he had to get it from the elders?”

Beiming Wanhuan said lightly: "Shang's words cannot be analyzed only on the surface. He may be hinting to us that the elders do not need to stay, and using the power of rules may be saying that the elders are against us because of this matter. He took action."

"Yes, after all, Shang likes to act only when he has evidence, so can we carry out [big purge]?" Yun Fei asked expectantly.

Lan Gentle replied: "Shang told Aze that he didn't want to see the elders again, which means that the elders are no longer useful to him and can start at any time. As for the power of rules... When Shang was framed, I and I Aze has already begun to wonder, how did those elders know that Shang can use his soul consciousness to obtain the power of rules, and how did they hide it from Aze's sight and harm Shang at will?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but sigh: "Now I can only say yes, the suspicion has come true, the child... is still alive."

"Who?" Yunfei didn't react for a moment.

Beiming Wanhuan explained coldly: "The one who once became stronger by devouring the origins of other worlds and tried to obliterate his brother and Shang was later killed by Lan and the others together. As a result, Lan lost his strength and could no longer practice martial arts. Shang was cursed and could only Choose the former Tiandao that was ground little by little with the human body."

"It sounds very difficult to still be alive even if we work together to kill them." Yun Fei frowned, with a worried look on his face.

Lan Wenwen reassured: "After all, that child swallowed the origins of several worlds at that time, and besides Shang, he knew human emotions. It is not surprising that he could find a way to save his life. That child was very calm, and even used Shang Liu in turn. The elders who were training below almost drove Shang to death, but unfortunately... they were too greedy."

"Greedy?" The two of them were puzzled.

"In the first battle, the child must have been seriously injured, and then he set his sights on the world where Shang is now, the newly formed way of heaven. If Shao Tong hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid the child would have followed suit and swallowed up the power and origin of the rules. .”

At this point, Lan's always gentle voice became colder: "In that world, there has been a phenomenon of missionaries disappearing one after another before. Only one missionary managed to escape and reported the matter to Aze, and we were able to discover it. Sad opportunity I entered that world by coincidence and took on a mission as the protagonist. Although Aze was following me, Shang was still injured and carried the power of the rules, so it was undoubtedly the best place to start."

Yun Fei looked solemn: "Is it possible that it wants to... seize the body to replace it?!"

Beiming Wanhuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "It's not just Shang. As his brother's [father], he must know his weakness. Shang must have thought of this, so he deliberately made himself very weak as a bait."

"No wonder Shang asked Chu Ling to say something like that... Speaking of which, can Shang be able to deal with that person?" Yun Fei asked with a worried look.

"If there is only sorrow..."

Lan seemed to feel something, stopped talking, and turned her head to look at the towering tree behind her: "Shang's body has stopped weakening."

Yun Fei carefully guessed: "Who did Shang meet?"

"No." Lan shook her head gently, her voice soft.

"It's Shang... who woke up."
