Destiny’s Catalogue

After noon, Shi Xuan and Ding Mingde were about to go to Yuhua Pavilion. They stood up and bid farewell to Yan Jujian. At the same time, Ding Mingde politely invited Yan Jujian to go with him. The destination is the same, and we met again. If you don't invite, you will be rude. But after all, the origins of Yan Jujian’s identity are not clear. If you really travel together, you will waste a lot of effort to guard, so you just invited it politely. If the other party is interested, he will naturally decline.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jujian didn't mean to refuse at all, so he agreed directly. Shi Xuan and the two were struggling to ride a tiger, so they had to invite him into the carriage. For Shi Xuan, perhaps this is fine, the danger in the light is much easier to deal with than the shadow in the dark.

Zheng Daniu looked at Yan Jujian’s burly figure, his face turned green, but Shi Xuan’s promise of rewarding money with five taels of silver made him unable to object, and he could only watch Yan Jujian step onto the carriage, pressing the carriage creaking. There was a creak, even the two horses in front involuntarily stepped back.

Two horse-drawn heavy carriages slowly walked along the official road, and Yan Jujian had only been sitting cross-legged in the back since he got on the carriage, basically not speaking much, except for occasionally asking Ding Mingde a few words for Shi Xuan. Completely ignored, even Shi Xuan could feel a slight guard.

Shi Xuan felt that this trip to Tongxuan Mountain was more weird, but since he was going to seek immortals and seek the way, and he had the means to suppress the bottom of the box, it was impossible to retreat.

The weird atmosphere in the carriage remained at the foot of Tongxuan Mountain. Just a half past Shenshi, Shi Xuan could already see the three words "Tongxuan Mountain" written on the boundary monument at the foot of the mountain.

After giving the silver to send away Zheng Daniu, Shi Xuan used the excuse to go behind a mountain wall, intending to take this opportunity to hear if Yan Jujian, who was wary of him, would say something to Ding Mingde after he left.

After arriving on the mountain wall, Shi Xuan leaned against the rock, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, and entered an ethereal state, fully exerting his keen senses, because it was so far away that he couldn't hear as casually as before.

Sure enough, I heard Yan Jujian lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what Ding brother knows what is going on in Shuanghu Village, Tongxuan Mountain?"

"No, didn't you go to find an old friend?" Ding Mingde said in a puzzled voice.

"Yes, that friend from a certain family came to Tongxuan Mountain two years ago, and no more news came back. A certain family was worried about his safety and found him."

"Did you die in the mountains? It is said that there are many ferocious beasts on this mountain."

"Hahahaha, is he going to die in the mouth of a beast?" Yan Jujian's mocking voice couldn't control the volume.

"That... is that?" Ding Mingde hesitated.

"After a certain family came to Chuzhou City, they secretly searched for a long time and found that many people disappeared in Tongxuan Mountain every year, and they all have one thing in common. Hey, do you know what it is?" Yan Jujian did not directly Answered and turned to another topic.

"Be, eaten by wild beasts?" Ding Mingde replied blankly.

"Hey, they are either people who are like you or whose parents have died, or people who have been away all year round and don't go home for several years. In short, they are people who have disappeared and will not cause too much trouble. ."

"Ah? What, what, how come!" Ding Mingde was a little shocked.

"So, a certain family originally wanted to go up the mountain to explore on their own, but by chance I heard that you were going to Shuanghu Village in Tongxuan Mountain. I remembered the name of the place mentioned in the letter from a certain friend to me. Inquiry. After that, I found out that you are the person whose parents have died, and combined with the information that a certain family inquired about before, a certain family decided to go with you."

"I, I, I'm not going anymore." The teeth began to tremble, preparing to retreat.

"Brother Ding, don't you think you are all at the foot of Tongxuan Mountain, and want to go back again, is it a bit late?" Yan Jujian said playfully.

"You...what are you doing? Brother Ziang, by the way, I'll find Brother Ziang to go back with you!"

"Hey, your brother Ang doesn't need to take you back!"

"What do you mean?!"

"He is a hidden master, he wants to kill you, it's easier than killing a chicken!"

"Difficult, isn't it, no! No! Brother Ziang is generous and generous, with the legacy of the ancients, he is a gentleman at first sight!" Ding Mingde retorted with excitement, the more he spoke, the more smoothly he said, the next half sentence was completed in one go.

"A certain family doesn't read much, but I have heard a saying, "You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to let others go. You two have not known each other for long." Yan Jujian said leisurely.

"This, this..." Ding Mingde gaped.

"Brother Ding, since you are here, it's better to take a certain house to explore and solve the problems completely, or else you will go home and become unstable and even harm your loved ones."

"Cousin, yes! Cousin, he is coming too!"

"That's right, let's take a certain house. A certain family will not brag about it. With a certain family in it, you will be able to keep your little brother safe. Your brother Aung, although his martial arts is strong, he may not be able to win. One hand over a certain family." Yan Jujian's flat voice was full of confidence.

"This..." Ding Mingde's hesitant voice.

"This world, together with the hidden old monsters, can surpass a certain family, and it can be counted by ten fingers." Yan Jujian's calm voice gave people a lot of confidence.

"Okay! I promise you!" Ding Mingde agreed with gritted teeth.

Seeing that the two of them had finished discussing, Shi Xuan stayed behind the mountain wall for a while before walking out slowly, apologizing to the two with a big smile, saying that he had eaten his stomach.

Yan Jujian still ignored Shi Xuan, but Ding Ming Deguan didn't know how to act and responded to Shi Xuan with a slight dodge attitude. Shi Xuan pretended not to see it, and urged the two to go up the mountain together. This Tongxuan Mountain looked weird and big, but let's not go where it is not.

The three of them walked silently on the mountain path, especially Ding Mingde, his face was so heavy that he was about to bend his waist, if it weren't for Yan Jujian standing behind him, Shi Xuan wondered if he would "ah" After yelling, he turned and ran.

Tongxuan Mountain is deep and quiet, and the birdsong is crisp, and even in this hot summer, you can feel a cool air. In this environment, the three of them quickly arrived at a luxuriously decorated pavilion with the three seal characters "Yuhuating" written on a plaque hanging on it. A stone stele was erected on the left side of the pavilion, which records the history of the pavilion. It was built by the donation of Shangshu of the previous dynasty. Twenty years ago and three years ago, wealthy families in Chuzhou City donated money for repairs.

After seeing this pavilion, Ding Mingde said to Shi Xuan and Yan Ju: "My cousin said that the chief steward of Shuanghu Village will wait for me here from Youshi. We still have more than two quarters to reach Youshi. Enter the pavilion and rest for a while."

Shi Xuan nodded and said hello, Yan Jujian was noncommittal, and the three of them entered the pavilion and sat on one side. Shi Xuan intends to take advantage of this gap to regain his energy and prepare for the next trip, so after sitting down, he closed his eyes and calmed his mind, and his internal energy began to move slowly. Yan Jujian didn't know if he was playing with the same attention as Shi Xuan, anyway, Shi Xuan noticed that he was also sitting with his eyes closed and said nothing. Ding Mingde, on the other hand, was fidgeting. He stood up several times and tried to walk towards Yan Jujian, then wandered back and sat down again.

When the qi was moving, time flew fast, and soon the sun began to shift to the west. Ding Mingde judged from the shadow that it was approaching the unitary hour, and stood up to wake the other two. But before he could speak, he saw Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian opened their eyes respectively.

Shi Xuan stood up and smiled and said, "It seems that Youshi is coming soon." At this time, Shi Xuan saw a figure walking out from the corner of the mountain road in the distance, "Uh, who is the butler?" He stretched his finger over there.

Ding Mingde hurriedly turned around to look, but unfortunately he had poor eyesight and could only see a dark shadow.

The figure staggered over, and it took a stick of incense to come nearby. It was an old-looking man, dressed in a black cloth with colorful clothes and an outer hat. His hair was completely white. His complexion was deeply wrinkled, like an orange peel, and the whole person was dry and thin. He carried a big red lantern in his hand with the word "king" written on it.

Shi Xuan looked at the old man with a strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that something had been packed in this body, but it was a pity that it was inconvenient to use spells to open his eyes.

Yan Jujian gently pushed Ding Mingde, who was frozen in place, and Ding Mingde seemed to come forward and salute: "Is the old man the chief steward of the king's family in Shuanghu Village?"

The old man raised his head, looked at Ding Mingde with muddy eyes, and gave a bow, his voice hoarse: "It's the old man, but Mr. Ding Mingde?"

"It's under, the housekeeper Gao's name?"

"The old man is naturally surnamed Wang. I dare not stigmatize Mr. Ding's ears by his low name. Just call the old man butler. Who are these two?" The big butler saw Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian behind Ding Mingde.

"These two are friends here, Shi Xuan, Shi Ziang and Yan Jujian. They were sent here to visit Tongxuan Mountain by the way. I wonder if I can take them to Shuanghu Village to stay overnight?" Ding Mingde seems to have long been. Think about how to say it.

The turbid eyes of the housekeeper looked at Shi Xuan and Shi Xuan back and forth. Shi Xuan felt a chill, as if being stared at by some cold-blooded animal.

After a few breaths of silence, the housekeeper said faintly, "Since he is a good friend of Mr. Ding, he is a guest from Shuanghu Village. Naturally, he welcomes him.

"I'm so disturbed, I thanked the butler first." Ding Mingde was pushed by Yan Jujian secretly again, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude, which was a final decision.

The butler glanced at the three of them again, and then half-turned: "Three distinguished guests, follow the old man, the road in the middle of the mountain is foggy and easy to get lost." Then he lifted the lantern and hobbled back and forth.

Shi Xuan and the three looked at each other, Ding Mingde closed his eyes and followed the housekeeper, while Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian walked side by side at the end.
