Nangong Qi said: "Elder Lan, we can understand that you want to train Deacon Duan, but this trip to Qi Zhi City is likely to be unlucky, so it is not suitable for him to go with you. It is better to let him accompany you in Da Yang Mansion."
Lan Cangze said: "Okay, in that case, I'll listen to you. You go to Corpse City now and take care of yourself."
Nangong Qi nodded, and then everyone dispersed and went back to prepare their luggage.
Lan Cangze and Duan Shuang were the only two people left in the meeting hall. Lan Cangze looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "I asked you to go to the Corpse City with me just now, but there was no hesitation on your face...could it be that Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to entrust you with such an important task?”
Duan Shuang said: "I didn't think much about it. Since it's your order, Elder Lan, I will do it."
Lan Cangze smiled and said, "You don't even care about your own life or death?"
Duan Shuang said: "As long as you give your orders, life and death are yours."
Lan Cangze raised his head and laughed, with a few tears. He wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Actually, I just tested your courage to see if you are a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. You are indeed brave enough. Loyal enough. Do you know that as for what you just said, that damn guy Su Yu also said to me..."
Lan Cangze couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he mentioned Su Yu. He said: "When he entered Da Yang Mansion, he was so simple and kind, but I was deceived by him. In the end, he stabbed me hard, don't you think so? Know people, know faces, but don’t know hearts.”
Duan Shuang said: "Duan Shuang understands Elder Lan's worries, but Su Yu is a worshiper of the Moon Demon Lord and has his mission. Duan Shuang is different. Duan Shuang comes from an ordinary background and does not have such great ambitions. He only wants to do one thing well in his life. "
Lan Cangze said: "Do you know why I want you to be the deacon of Da Yang Mansion?"
Duan Shuang was startled. It was not that he had never thought about this question, but he just never had an answer. In fact, among the graduates of Da Yang Mansion, Duan Shuang was not the most powerful, whether it was himself or his family.
Duan Shuang's family was not prominent, and even the Shuanghua Sword he used was not of the highest quality, but even so, he still made the Shuanghua Sword a terrifying blade.
The reason why Lan Cangze chose to keep Duan Shuang was because in some aspects, he was really similar to Su Yu.
Just as taciturn and cold-hearted, just as observant and determined. And, just as obedient. Such a person is very suitable to be a deacon. He is fair and impartial, will not be afraid of death, will not be influenced by fame and fortune, and will only be loyal to one person in his life.
It's just that Lan Cangze made a mistake once before, and he hopes he won't make a mistake again this time. Therefore, he has been testing Duan Shuang in many ways. He hopes that after his death, he can help the next elder and continue to protect Da Yang Mansion.
While helping Zuo Sima pack his bags, Mo Lingdu said: "I know I can't persuade you. Since you are going to help your friends, I won't stop you. But you have to promise me not to show off in everything and think more about your family. Wife and children, you must come back safely!"
Zuo Sima hugged her from behind, rubbed his stubbled face against her tender face, reached out to touch her bulging belly, and said with a smile: "My dear wife, don't worry, you say I remember everything."
Mo Lingdu stopped folding his clothes, turned around and looked at him and said, "Which of what I said do you remember? It's worrying every time. Zuo Sima...you don't have to remember what I said before, but Today’s advice, you must keep it in mind and don’t make me
disappointment. "
Zuo Sima stretched out his hand to hold her slightly cold hand, kissed her lips, and said: "As you command - my dear wife!"
Mo Ling was amused by him and heard Nie Dianhua's loud voice coming from outside the door: "Zuo Sima, what are you doing so procrastinatingly? Have you packed your luggage? The carriage is waiting outside the door."
As she spoke, she walked in and happened to bump into the two people who turned around hastily. Mo Lingdu blushed and was burying his head in packing his bags cutely, while Zuo Sima looked at the beams of the house in an evasive manner.
Nie Dihua threw the huge bundle on his back, looked up at the rafters, and then said: "Zuo Sima, what are you looking at? Why don't you help your wife pack things quickly? Don't wait too long. Just like a girl, I’ve already packed it up, but you haven’t done it yet!”
Zuo Sima was so angry that he wanted to punch him, but he had never defeated this stinky woman in a scolding fight. Even if he wanted to fight, he might not be able to win her, so he could only say angrily: "Nie Dihua, what are you shouting with such a broken voice? He started chirping as soon as he came in, making the whole room full of smoke!"
Nie Dihua put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, we are rushing to save people this time, not traveling. Why don't you have any sense of urgency?"
Zuo Sima said: "Tsk, you also know that you are going to save people. I thought you were going for your honeymoon."
Nie Dihua said without denying: "Yes, I was thinking, who told you, the light bulb, to have to put your foot in?"
"You shameless person, I just want to prevent you from attacking my brother, so I deliberately ruin your good deeds!"
After Zuo Sima finished speaking, he turned around and helped Mo Lingdu pack his luggage.
Mo Lingdu watched him bickering with Nie Dihua, like two children. She felt really uneasy, so she waved to Nie Dihua and took her out.
Seeing this, Zuo Sima secretly hid several jars of good wine in his luggage.
Mo Lingdu took Nie Dianhua and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and said, "Dianhua, I have something to ask you!"
Before she could finish speaking, Nie Dianhua patted her chest happily, winked at her, and said understandingly: "I understand, aren't you just worried that your family will mess around with others outside? , I promise to keep an eye on him for you!"
Mo Lingdu covered his mouth with his hand and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Hahaha! What nonsense are you talking about? Zuo Sima is not that kind of person!"
Nie Dihua said in confusion: "Aren't all men lustful?"
"Do you think they are all like you?"
"Tch! I'm a girl. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
"I'm afraid it will be very dangerous to go to Corpse City. Even Minglong and Ao Zhixi are trapped inside. I'm very worried. I want you to help keep an eye on Zuo Sima and stop him from doing dangerous things!"
Nie Dihua nodded and said: "Don't worry, I am more impulsive than him, so I may not be able to keep an eye on him for you, but I promise, if there is danger, I will go ahead before him!"
Mo Lingdu sighed and said: "I know it's useless to ask you, it's all in vain. Zhahua, you are also a woman after all. Don't rush forward like a man in everything. I mean, use your brain first. , don’t be too impulsive, understand?”
Mo Lingdu followed the temptation and hoped that she, a good sister, could think about things with a woman's mind.
Nie Dihua said half-comprehensively: "I... understand. In fact, you don't need to worry.
Nangong Qi is better at thinking about things than us, so you don’t have to worry too much! "
Mo Ling felt that Nie Dianhua's brain was made of paste and it was really difficult to communicate. He said, "I'm just worried about Nangong Qi. You also know that he is Zuo Sima's good friend. If Nangong Qi is in danger, I'm afraid Zuo Sima will Work hard without caring about yourself..."
The more Nie Dihua listened, the less he could stand. He stood up and said, "Why is Zuo Sima so desperate? If Nangong Qi is in danger, I will be the first person to be so desperate. What does it have to do with Zuo Sima?"
"Oh, forget it, I said it in vain, two people who risked their lives for Nangong Qi!"
Mo Ling rolled her eyes at Nie Dianhua and prepared to get up and enter the house.
Nie Dihua said behind her with a loud voice: "Hey, Lingdu, take care of your Zuo Sima and tell him not to rob me! This is my chance to show off! The opportunity has finally come, hahaha! "
Zuo Sima, who had finished cleaning up the house, looked at his wife who walked in and said, "What is that guy Nie Dianhua doing outside, screaming?"
Mo Lingdu felt his head hurt, and he sat on the chair and said, "She said, if Nangong Qi is in danger, please don't rush for the opportunity with him without risking your own life!"
Zuo Sima was furious, slapped the table and said: "My brother was in trouble, of course it was me who rescued him. Why did she get involved?"
Mo Ling shook his head, feeling that these two brainless things were completely finished, and he didn't want to waste any more time with them.
He was thinking about whether he should tell Nangong Qi instead, but then he thought, depending on the strength of his martial arts, it was probably Nangong Qi who had a greater chance of saving them in the end, so after thinking about it, he might as well forget it and let fate happen. .
A carriage set off from Da Yang Mansion and galloped all the way. It was Wuhunsi's thousand-mile horse that traveled thousands of miles every day, and it was no ordinary horse.
The two living treasures in the carriage were fighting endlessly, and they were still arguing about whether they should make the final statement, impassioned and spitting.
Nangong Qi, who was sitting outside the carriage and driving the carriage, really couldn't figure out why he wanted these two guys to follow him.
The faint sound of the piano came from the distance, and I saw a beauty in white sitting on the hill. The beauty covered her face and played the piano with her bare hands. The melodious sound of the piano was a farewell song to the willow tree.
Nangong Qi stretched out his hand to stop the carriage, and saw the beauty in white flying down from the hill. She held Bai Yuqin in her arms, and reached out to take the white gauze covering her face. It was none other than Yun Qingqing.
"Miss Yun!"
Nie Zhaihua said: "Qingqing, what are you doing here? Are you reluctant to leave me? You are indeed my good sister!"
As Nie Dihua said, she opened her hands and wanted to hug Yun Qingqing. Unexpectedly, Yun Qingqing just put the white jade piano in her open hand, and he walked towards Nangong Qi who was sitting on the carriage.
Yun Qingqing said: "I looked at the stars last night and felt something was wrong, so I did a divination for you. The divination showed that this is a dangerous place and one person will definitely die."
Zuo Sima's face turned green and he looked at Nangong Qi uneasily. Nangong Qi looked calm and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Yun, for coming to inform me!"
Yun Qingqing knew that he could not stop them from going forward, so he said: "Since you insist on going forward, please be more careful!"
Yun turned around gently, took the white jade piano from Nie Dianhua's hand, and flew away.
Zuo Sima said: "Yun Qingqing's divination skills are very good. Since she came here specially to inform her, it can be seen that this matter has to be guarded against."
