Zhuxian Prequel: Wilderness

Chapter 55 Candlelight

Shuiyue bowed, turned and walked out of Yuqing Palace, Daoxuan watched her go, looked back, but found that Tianyun's gaze was still looking there, couldn't help frowning, and coughed softly.

Tian Yun's body shook, and he turned around quickly, showing a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Senior brother..."

Daoxuan glanced at him, and said: "Looking at you like this, could it be that you are interested in Junior Sister Shuiyue?"

Tian Yun sighed, and said: "Senior Sister Shuiyue is extremely beautiful, and she is even more talented in Taoism, far superior to me. Naturally, I admire her very much. But in the eyes of a woman like her, I probably won't be there. Bar."

Daoxuan pondered for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment, after a while, he said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Junior Sister Shuiyue really seems to have someone she likes in her heart."

Tian Yun subconsciously asked: "What, who is it?"

Daoxuan said indifferently: "It should be Junior Brother Wan."

Tian Yun's body shook, the expression on his face changed, and his eyes were complicated, but after a while he sighed suddenly, and said: "It's no wonder, only a talented person like Senior Brother Wan can get into the eyes of Senior Sister Shuiyue , I’m really ashamed of myself.” He shook his head, bowed to Daoxuan, then turned around and left Yuqing Palace.

※※※

Daoxuan watched Tianyun leave, shook his head, turned around, and walked into the back hall of Yuqing Hall.Walking slowly all the way, when he came to the row of quiet rooms and study rooms, he saw a Taoist Tong Qingfeng in front of him cleaning up the house.With a thought in his heart, he walked over and called Qing Feng.

Hearing Daoxuan's voice, Qingfeng hurriedly came over to pay respects, and said: "I have met Senior Brother Daoxuan, what are you calling me for?"

Daoxuan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said to Qingfeng: "On weekdays, you are not responsible for cleaning the courtyard, but Baishi tidies up the house? Why is it you today, where is Baishi?"

Qingfeng said: "Senior Brother, earlier today, Senior Sister Suru from Xiaozhufeng came here and said she wanted to find you to talk about something, but she couldn't find you for a while, so she asked me and Baishi where you were going. Neither of us knew I know, but Baishi and Senior Sister Su have some friendship on weekdays, so he told her that there are two places you go to most often, brother, one is the Yuqing Hall, and the other is the Ancestral Hall of the Patriarch of the Back Mountain..."

Daoxuan's expression suddenly changed.

Qingfeng didn't notice the change in Daoxuan's face, and continued to speak, saying: "Senior Sister Su only said that I didn't find you in Yuqing Palace, and that she was in a hurry and wanted to find you as soon as possible. Baishi saw that she was in a hurry, So I asked me to clean it for him for a while, and first took Senior Sister Su to the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall in Houshan to find you. But I didn't expect, Senior Brother, you came back from the front... Huh?" Qing Feng was stunned for a moment, looking Looking at Daoxuan, he said in astonishment: "Brother Daoxuan, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?"

Daoxuan took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice: "It's okay, you go down first, I'll go find them myself."

Qingfeng looked at Daoxuan with a gloomy expression, and felt a little scared for some reason, so she hurriedly saluted and walked aside.

The muscles on Daoxuan's face twitched slightly, he flicked his sleeve robe suddenly, and strode forward, passing through the passageway outside the quiet room, all the way to the back mountain.

The mountain behind Qingyun is full of ancient trees, and there are green ancient forests everywhere. Walking along the mountain road, Daoxuan's footsteps became faster and faster. The tree suddenly fell down, and one could faintly see his sudden anxiety and urgency at this moment.

It's just that his face still looked solemn, and not long after, he came to the fork in the mountain road at the back mountain. He didn't even look at the side of the forbidden area of ​​Huanyue Cave Mansion, but turned directly to the patriarch's ancestral hall. that path.

The solemn palace with heavy eaves appeared from behind the green branches and leaves, Daoxuan walked quickly, suddenly his body was shaken suddenly, with a look of horror on his face, but he was in front of the main hall of the ancestral hall of the ancestor, There was a young girl's figure lying sideways on the stone steps, and it was Suru.

Daoxuan turned pale with shock, and shouted out almost instantly. Finally, he was usually cautious and calm, and forcibly endured it, but he flew up with a stride, and rushed to Suru's side in a blink of an eye. His first reaction was to hug Su Ru body, at the same time reached out to check her breath.

However, at this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from behind him, indistinct, seeming to be far away, but carefully distinguishing, it was coming from the main hall of the ancestral hall of the ancestor, like a monster roaring, or a ghost howling. , the sound is like fluttering, as if carrying a gust of cold wind in an instant.

Daoxuan's eyes turned cold, and he got up instantly, the Taoist robe on his body was blown by no wind in a blink of an eye, and the spiritual power in his whole body was on the verge of firing, he looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Turning around, I saw that in the dim hall of the ancestor's ancestral hall, the candles were extinguished without knowing when, and the inside became darker and darker, and the invisible darkness was like reality, peeping at him coldly, gusts of wind, like a An evil beast is about to roar and rush.

For a moment, Daoxuan's whole body was as if falling into a cellar of ice, chilled to the bone, but he still opened his eyes wide, staring at the darkness, and seemed to open his mouth, as if he wanted to call out something, but he didn't. No sound came out of his mouth.

There seemed to be a bit of despair in his eyes, a look of sadness, and it seemed that there was also a bit of anger.

However, at this moment, suddenly, the girl's body in Daoxuan's arms moved violently, and after a while, Suru opened her eyes, looking a little dazed, and said: "Ah... Senior Brother Daoxuan, why are you here?" ……ah!"

She raised her voice suddenly, but found that she was being embraced by Daoxuan, her face flushed immediately, she hurriedly broke away, and jumped aside like a frightened little rabbit.

The sudden change of this matter made Daoxuan stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a long while, but when he noticed the change, he didn't explain anything to Suru immediately, but looked at the main hall of the ancestral hall of the ancestor immediately.

Not long ago, the deep and dignified darkness that was as thick as ink seemed to be just an illusion, but now it has disappeared, and the dots of candles can still be seen, which are the light of incense candles enshrined in front of the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of Qingyunmen.Everything seems to be the same as usual, serene, solemn and solemn.

Daoxuan exhaled a long breath, and a trace of relief and relaxation flashed in his eyes, but at this moment, Suru said to him angrily: "Brother Daoxuan, what are you doing, what, what? Sudden hugging someone nicely?"

Daoxuan took a look at the little girl, couldn't help feeling a bit ridiculous, shook his head and said to her: "Who made you lie on the ground alone, I thought something happened to you."

Suru blushed, and said: "Didn't I come here to look for you, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. I came here to see the beautiful scenery, so I just sat and looked at it for a while, but I was a little tired after sitting, I don't know. I fell asleep without realizing it.”

Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Suru more, then frowned slightly, although Suru didn't notice anything, but a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak of Qingyun Sect who has cultivated Dao, would suddenly feel sleepy while looking at the scenery. fall asleep?This matter looks normal, but it seems a little weird.

He turned around slowly and looked at the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall again. In that dim hall, there was a profound silence.

Light a candle, like the eyes of the ancestors of the past, looking at him quietly.
