Chapter 48: Wind Butterfly Flying Scales (1)
The two people on the upper floor were surprised, and suddenly they saw the white thing, like a flowing cloud, bypassing the small building with the wind and disappearing in the Cuiyun Tower.

Lu Jian was surprised and said: "That looks like a large group of butterflies. It's strange. How could there be butterflies at night?" In a blink of an eye, he let out a gasp, leaned over and picked up a white butterfly caught between the sills, and said, " Here is one..." When he got it, he said in surprise, "It's made of paper." It turned out that the paper butterfly was folded from snow-white hard paper, so exquisite that it looked like life at first glance.

Gu Zhen took the paper butterfly, his brows were furrowed, a breeze blew in the small building, the wings of the paper butterfly vibrated, and it seemed to come alive.Gu Zhen was stunned, and released his two fingers, the paper butterfly flew up lightly, accompanied by the gust of wind, slowly flew into the night sky.

The two followed the paper butterfly and raised their eyes to see a man in white clothes and white hair holding a white silk umbrella standing beside the eaves on the opposite bank.His face was carved like white jade, his eyebrows were also frosty white, and his white hair was so long that it was fluttering about in the night wind.

The paper butterfly flew to the white-haired man's fingertips, spread its wings and rested.The man glanced at the two people in the building, and took a step forward, stepping into the void, Lu Jian almost exclaimed, the cry reached his throat, and suddenly he choked again, but saw that the man did not fall, but stopped in mid-air, white Her hair was blown straight by the wind, her feet went up and down, and she walked towards Cuiyun Tower in the air, crossed a river in a moment, and disappeared behind the wall.

This situation was so weird that Lu Jian was slightly suffocated when he saw it, and only after the white-haired man was no longer behind the wall did he say in a trembling voice, "Gu Zhen, this...is this a ghost?"

Gu Zhen smiled and said: "Most people in the world will be frightened when they see this trick for the first time, but if they know who he is, it's not surprising."

Lu Jianqi said, "You know this ghost... um, anyone?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "I don't know him, but I've heard of it. Lu Jian, have you ever heard of 'one wisdom lives two defenses and four offenses'? ?” Lu Jian shook his head.

"This sentence refers to the Eight Divisions of the Western City." Gu Zhen's expression became solemn, "One wisdom is the Heaven Division, the master of the Heaven Division, with the highest knowledge; one life is the Earth Division, and the owner of the Earth Division is often a woman, known as the Earth Division. Mother, it is said that the medical skills are extremely high and can produce all things; the second guard is talking about the two divisions of the mountain and the lake, and these two divisions guard the "under the emperor" all the year round, and rarely leave Kunlun Mountain; the most headache for me in Dongdao is The so-called four attacks. Wind, thunder, water, and fire are all main attacks. In the past 200 years, most of the masters of the East Island have died in their hands. Among them, the wind department is very peculiar. There will be a phenomenon of black hair turning white, the more white hair, the stronger the skill."

Lu Jian suddenly said: "Just now, this person is actually a master of the Wind Department?" Gu Zhen said: "This person's hair is as white as snow, and he is holding an umbrella, which shows that 'Zhou Liu Feng Jin' has practiced to perfection. Look at his appearance, age But it’s not that big, so we can guess his identity.” He paused for a moment, with a hint of worry on his brows, “If it’s not as expected, this person should be the head of the Wind Department, the ‘Lord of Wind’ Zuo Feiqing .”

Lu Jian was surprised and said, "Master of the Ministry of Wind? Marquis of Feng?" Gu Zhen sighed, "Zuo Feiqing left Kunlun Mountain and came to Nanjing. Could it be that East Island and West City are going to war again?" Lu Jian thought of what Monk Yu said The grievances and grievances between Dongdao and Xicheng, he couldn't help sighing: "After fighting for more than 200 years, can't the hatred be resolved?"

Gu Zhen smiled wryly and said: "East Island and West City, hatred is as deep as the sea, how difficult it is to resolve it. My great-grandfather died of the supernatural power of the Ministry of Water, and my grandfather died of the supernatural power of the Ministry of Thunder. Speaking of Wan Guizang, his parents and brothers all died because of the magical power of 'Turtle Mirror'. Tell me, how can such bloody enmity be resolved?"

Lu Jian said, "You want to avenge your relatives?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "I can't protect myself, so why should I take revenge?" He patted the railing and floated downstairs.

The two walked side by side, and wherever there was wind along the way, they saw paper butterflies flying. When they walked up the corridor, the lanterns on both sides disappeared, and the corridor was completely dark.

Lu Jian felt faintly uneasy. Thinking of the "Water Soul Formation" in Yaojiazhuang that day, he couldn't help worrying about the safety of Cuiyun Tower, and unknowingly, his feet moved a little faster.

In a moment of apprehension, the two walked to the front of the bedroom, the lights in the room remained the same, and when the screen was turned, the two of them froze for a moment.In front of the sandalwood table, Ying Wancheng held a teacup in his hand, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said angrily, "My dear grandson, are you back? Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Gu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, "It's a good skill to win over grandpa, how did you find it?"

"Thanks for having him." Ying Wancheng stretched out his hand and pulled out a person from under the table. Lu Jian saw that the person had a long beard and looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but shouted: "Master Zhao!" Shopkeeper Zhao shivered in response , sadly said: "Master Gu, you should be damned, this old man's methods are too ruthless, I...I..."

Gu Zhen's eyes changed several times, and he sighed: "I don't blame you, you are just a businessman. It was my fault that I dragged you into this matter." Shopkeeper Zhao said shyly, "Master Gu..." Ashamed.

Gu Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile to Ying Wancheng: "Grandpa Ying, there is a wrongdoer and a debtor. You are looking for me, and it has nothing to do with this person. He is just an unarmed businessman. Let him go." Let's go." Ying Wancheng stared at him for a while, nodded and smiled and said, "Good grandson, grandpa, I admire your demeanor the most. Gu Shentong is really blind to gold and jade. Think about what I said carefully, as long as In one word..."

Gu Zhen smiled, waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about that matter in the future, let him go first..." Ying Wancheng looked at Gu Zhen again, his eyes rolled a few times, and he said with a smile, "Okay, okay..." Shopkeeper Zhao knocked on the back, "Go away!" Shopkeeper Zhao got up, bowed his head and walked away quickly.

Ying Wancheng smiled and said, "How is it? Good grandson, what is your plan? Should you hand over the ring, or try Grandpa's method first." Gu Zhen laughed and said, "You want to listen to my plan? Okay, I will definitely not hand in the ring, and I will definitely not taste your methods." Ying Wancheng's face sank, and he snorted coldly.

Lu Jian watched from the sidelines and saw that Ying Wancheng wanted to use force. He wanted to be the first to act first, so he suddenly changed into a "half-lion figure", hooked in with his left hand, and rushed with his right fist. Wancheng ran.

Ying Wancheng is old and loves his life, so he dare not take it head-on when he sees it, so he dodges, Lu Jian gets the upper hand, and as soon as he jumps up, he wants to give chase, but Gu Zhen grabs him and jumps back out.With a muffled sound, the backs of the two hit the screen at the same time, the screen fell to the ground, and Ying Wancheng's feet turned around in response to the situation.

Ying Wancheng was able to read people's minds, but he was attracted by Lu Jian. The "Turtle Mirror" supernatural power Gu Yi couldn't take care of the other. He only thought that Lu Jian was focused on fighting and wanted to see through his next move, but Gu Zhenyi was running away. Immediately, he miscalculated, and felt that his feet were empty, and he fell straight down.

Gu Zhen and Lu Jian continued to castrate and rushed out of the door.Lu Jian turned his eyes and saw that the ugly slave was standing in front of the door, and was about to say hello, when Gu Zhen shouted, "Hurry up, this flap can't trap him."

Before Lu Jian could answer, Gu Zhen had pulled him into a run. After running for a few steps, he felt something in his heart. Looking back, he saw the ugly slave following behind.Lu Jian felt strange, but he didn't take it very seriously when he ran away in a hurry.

Relying on the favorable location, the two escaped from Cuiyun Building through a small door, and zigzag forward in the alleyway.Lu Jian looked back several times, and saw the ugly slave not far away, and no matter how the two turned into the alley, they couldn't get rid of her.Lu Jian felt strange, and Gu Zhen felt it too. Looking back, he frowned slightly.

At the end of an alleyway, the ugly slave still followed closely, Gu Zhen couldn't hold back, turned around and shouted: "Ugly girl, what are you doing with us?"

His voice was stern, and the ugly girl seemed to be frightened, leaning against the wall with her hands behind her back, her legs trembling uncontrollably.Seeing this, Lu Jian felt sorry for her, and hurriedly said, "Gu Zhen, don't scare her." After thinking about it, he suddenly realized, and said to Gu Zhen, "I see, she followed us to escape from Cuiyun. Lou, I don’t want to stay in that unclean place.”

Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "That place is not clean for other women, but it couldn't be more clean for her." Lu Jianqi said, "Why?" There are some unscrupulous guests who linger on the girls in the building, but some girls show off their performances without selling themselves, and some red card girls don't have distinguished guests. At this time, the madam calls the ugly girl into the room, brings tea and water, and those girls As soon as the bastard guest saw her like this, he immediately extinguished all his lust. If he didn't know what to do, the ugly girl would give him some more snacks, and if not, he would give her a handkerchief. Usually, when a guest sees her for the third time, he usually runs away and returns. When I get home, I have to have two more nightmares."

Lu Jian didn't expect this ugly girl to be in charge of such a job, and sighed blankly: "In this way, she is really pitiful." Gu Zhen said: "Why is she pitiful? In that kind of place, beauty is a disaster, but ugliness is a disaster." Fu, at least no bastard will hit her."

Lu Jian sighed, and asked, "Ugly slave, do you have a family?" The ugly slave shook his head, and Lu Jian felt more and more pitiful for the girl, so he asked, "Why are you following us?" The ugly slave was silent for a while, Said shyly: "I... I broke the teacup, and Mother He will punish me." Lu Jian was stunned, thinking of how cruel Mother He was to her after the ugly slave smashed the teacup, and couldn't help thinking: "Mother He is a monster. He is evil, he doesn't seem like a good person, he must have promised me in person that I wouldn't embarrass her, and I still want to find her afterward." Thinking about this woman made her feel more and more pitiful, and said: "Gu Zhen, she has nowhere to go, shall we take her with me? ?”

Gu Zhen was angry and anxious, and said, "At present, powerful enemies are everywhere, how can we escape with her? Even if we can, how will we arrange it in the future? Could it be that you marry her as a wife?" Lu Jianhong said angrily, "You ...Don't talk nonsense, who... who married her as a wife?"

Seeing his embarrassment, Gu Zhen thought it was funny, and said, "You don't want her to be a wife, what do you care about her so much?" Lu Jian said, "She is so pitiful, I can't let her go back and be bullied." Gu Zhen said, "Run for your life." Were you dragged down by her at that time? Didn't you want to abandon her at that time. "

Lu Jian raised his face and said loudly: "As long as I have breath, I won't leave her alone." Hearing this, the ugly slave's eyes lit up with ripples, which flickered and then dimmed.Gu Zhen looked at her, frowned, then stretched out, and said with a smile: "Okay, just take her." After speaking, he walked first.

Lu Jian pulled Chou Nuer and ran with Gu Zhen for about twenty steps. Chou Nuer suddenly let out an "ouch" and fell over.Lu Jian asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" The ugly slave said, "I sprained my foot."

Lu Jian said to Gu Zhen, "Wait a minute." Gu Zhen was very impatient and snorted.Lu Jian helped the ugly slave to the side of the street, and reached out to touch the wound on her right foot, but felt the skin on her ankle was as smooth as silk, and couldn't help thinking: "Although this ugly girl is ugly, she is not ugly all over, there is always something beautiful about it." ” Thinking of this, when he checked her injuries, he was taken aback for a moment, before he could speak, Gu Zhen lowered his voice and said, “Shut up.”

Lu Jian looked up, and saw four white lanterns floating from the empty street, and on the lanterns were written "Cuiyun Tower" in large Song style characters.

He knew that the lantern was hung in the back garden of Cuiyun Tower, and he came here at some time, and as the lantern floated near, Lu Jian couldn't help but stare blankly, the four lanterns were unmanned, and they came floating in the air.

Lu Jian's heart beat violently, and his legs felt weak for a while. Seeing the light from the lantern, Gu Zhen pulled him suddenly, and the three of them shrank behind a pile of debris on the side of the street.

The four lanterns fluttered here and there in the air, shining on the heads of the three people several times, but in the end it was futile, and they flew lightly into the distance again.

Gu Zhen breathed out, and said, "It's so dangerous." Lu Jianshu said, "This... what the hell is this?" Gu Zhen said, "This is the illusion of the Fengbu's 'Lamp of the Soul', which is about ' Feng Junhou' Zuo Feiqing is patrolling the Yulan. It is said that if you are illuminated by this lantern, you will involuntarily reveal your identity. For example, when you are illuminated, you will vaguely report your name. You can sign up, if I report name, Zuo Feiqing heard it, and I died."

Lu Jian sighed: "Why are the martial arts of Dongdao and Xicheng weird?" Gu Zhen smiled and said: "After more than 200 years of fighting, except for the 'Zhouliu Liuxu Kungfu' which can't be broken, other martial arts are not strange. They were all broken, and it must be strange if they couldn't be broken. But I'm also curious, Zuo Feiqing doesn't seem to be targeting me, but seems to be in a hurry to find someone else." After a moment of thought, he said, "Lu Jian , your skill is quicker than mine, go ahead to explore the way first, and see if there is any 'soul lamp'." Lu Jian nodded and said: "Okay, look at the ugly slave, I will come as soon as I go." She jumped out and disappeared into the night.

After waiting until Lu gradually walked away, Gu Zhen turned his face and sneered at Chou Nuer: "You are so ugly, you pretend to be quite like it." Chou Nuer's one-eyed eyes showed a trace of bewilderment.Gu Zhen sneered and said: "Still pretending? If you go to sing in an opera, you will be a famous star in the two capitals. What do you look like!"

The ugly slave said in a hoarse voice: "I... I don't understand what you are talking about?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Don't play tricks with me, Lu Jian is an honest person, and when he is young, he likes to play tricks to fool him. I am different. There's not even a grain of sand in it. Honestly, who the hell are you?"

Chou Nuer said: "I... I am a handyman in Cuiyun Building..." Gu Zhen rolled his eyes and sneered, "If you were a handyman in Cuiyun Building, why would Feng Junhou look for you everywhere?"

"Feng Junhou?" The ugly slave said blankly: "Who are you talking about..." Gu Zhen snarled, and said: "Just now, Lu Jian and I didn't find the 'Lamp of the Soul'. If we rush forward, we will be caught." Follow it. At this time, you twisted your foot sooner or later. We stopped and just avoided the row of lights. Lu Jian treated your injury. Although he didn't say it, I knew it by looking at his expression. Your foot is not injured at all. Hmph, you had expected that Zuo Feiqing would use the 'Lamp of the Soul', and you were always on guard, so you noticed the lamp coming before the two of us."

Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "You are so capable that you actually provoked Zuo Feiqing? He went to Cuiyun Tower first and forced you to nowhere, so he and I escaped. Now he Did you catch up?"

The ugly slave was confused, shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about." Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Little girl, you still don't admit it? Believe it or not, I tore your face off..." Suddenly, he rushed over and grabbed the ugly girl Facing the door, unexpectedly Chou Nuer flinched and escaped the grab like a rabbit.

Gu Zhen sneered and said, "Is the fox's tail exposed?" Just as he was about to pounce again, he suddenly heard Lu Jian's voice from afar: "Gu Zhen, what are you doing?"

Gu Zhen put his hands in the air, and said with a dry smile, "We're playing hide-and-seek, ugly slave, aren't we?" The ugly slave huddled in the corner, with one bright eye, and nodded silently.Lu Jian was very puzzled, and said, "At this moment, are you still free to mess around? Well, there is no soul lamp ahead, let's go."

Chou Nuer suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed Lu Jian's sleeve, Gu Zhen sneered at her slightly.The three of them walked forward quickly, crossed a long street, and were about to turn a corner, when they suddenly felt the wind rustling behind them, Gu Zhen couldn't help but look back, and saw Zuo Feiqing falling from the sky with a white umbrella in his hand, his clothes and hair flowing, You are like a fairy from the lower realm.

Lu Jian felt that Chou Nuer was pulling his sleeves tighter with his fingers, and felt a little strange in his heart.Zuo Feiqing looked at the three of them, and suddenly said coldly: "The woman stays, you two, the farther the better."

Gu Zhen rolled his eyes, tsk-tsk smiled and said, "Your Excellency is extraordinary in appearance and taste, do you like such an ugly woman?" Zuo Feiqing snorted coldly and said, "I'll count to three, and if you die, get out of here. Hearing this, Lu Jian glanced at Chou Nuer, but felt that she was trembling all over, as if she was extremely frightened, so she couldn't help being puzzled, and suddenly heard Zuo Feiqing coldly said: "One..."

Just as he finished speaking, Gu Zhen smiled and said: "Two, three, four, five, six, I will count for you at the back." This time not only Zuo Feiqing's white eyebrows were slightly frowned, but the ugly slave's eyes were also surprised.

"You bastard!" Zuo Feiqing sighed, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Afraid, why aren't you afraid?" Gu Zhen smiled, "But no matter how ugly this woman is, she is still a person, not a thing, you stay if you say so? What are you, why don't you take a pee and take care of yourself He looks as white as a rabbit."

His words were harsh, Zuo Feiqing's eyes shrank, and there was a clatter between his sleeves, flying out of a vast expanse of whiteness, hundreds of thousands of paper butterflies rushed towards with the gust of wind.
