Xiang Yan and Murong Jiu fell into the water with a "bang" and slowly woke up. The two of them seemed to have fallen into a lake, and the sound of silk and bamboo that was originally vague and non-existent in their ears became urgent, like rain hitting plantains, sonorous and incessant. As soon as Xiang Yan and Murong Jiu swam to the shore, more than a dozen women in white holding long swords surrounded them.
Xiang Yan looked around and saw a valley. The valley is full of flowers, like a peach garden. There are many pavilions and pavilions among the trees. Xiang Yanxin said: "Jiu'er and I must have arrived at the headquarters of a Jianghu sect. Judging from the number of buildings here, there are probably hundreds or even thousands of people in this sect." Thinking of the person who disagreed with each other. The disciples of the Shennong Gang who were poisoned felt a slight sinking in their hearts: "I don't know how this sect will treat us!"
A young girl asked in surprise: "Messenger Situ?" Xiang Yan was startled, and found that the girl was looking at Murong Jiu, and thought to herself: "Did she mistake Jiu'er for the Messenger Situ?" Another *** said. : "May I ask your surnames? What do you think of coming to Shenshui Palace?"
Xiang Yanting's words were gentle and polite. He was not like that Shennong Gang disciple who poisoned people as soon as they met. He felt a little at ease and said to himself: "It seems that the other party is not an evil sect." It's just that the other party asked himself and Murong Jiu hesitated again about our origins: "How should I tell them our origins? If I tell the truth, can they believe it?"
Seeing that Xiang Yan didn't speak, Murong Jiu responded: "I am Murong Jiu of Jiuxiu Villa, and he is my husband-in-law Xiang Yan. We were fine in the villa, but suddenly for some reason, my body floated into the air and landed here again. We didn’t mean to come here.”
The women in white clothes opposite looked unbelieving, and Xiang Yan also instinctively felt that something was wrong, but then he thought: "Since they have already asked, it is definitely not appropriate for me to keep silent, and I can't think of any reasonable excuse in a short time. . In this current situation, it seems that there is no other way besides telling the truth. As for the outcome, we can only leave it to fate."
The girl who mistook Murong Jiu for Situ's envoy said to Murong Jiu: "Your surname is Murong, not Situ?" Murong Jiu affirmed: "My name is Murong Jiu." The girl asked again: "Why are you called Murong Jiu? Do you like drinking?" Xiang Yan's face turned pale and he said, "My wife is the ninth in the family, so she is called Murong Jiu, not for drinking." The woman in white tried her best not to laugh.
*** said to the girl: "Go and report what happened here to the palace lord and ask for his instructions." The girl turned and left. *** Then he said to Xiang Yan and Murong Jiu: "You just stay here and wait for the consequences."
Xiang Yan expected that it would be difficult for him and Murong Jiu to get out of the valley, and he felt that the other party was not like an evil sect that would kill people at the slightest disagreement, so he could only stay here with Murong Jiu with an uneasy mood, waiting for news about the girl.
After a while, the girl returned and said, "The palace master has an order for them to live in the nunnery temporarily." *** nodded, and led people to escort Xiang Yan and Murong Jiu to a nunnery at the foot of the mountain. *** said: "Someone will bring you food when it's time for dinner. You should stay in the nunnery and don't go out." After saying that, Xiang Yan and Murong Jiu hurriedly left without waiting for answers, and locked the door tightly. doors and windows.
Xiang Yan said to his heart: "At least they didn't yell and kill when they came up. The situation is not bad. Once they come, let them be in peace. No matter what, let's recover our skills first." He glanced at Murong Jiu again, feeling quite guilty in his heart. He brought her over and sighed, "Jiu'er, I've suffered so much for you." Murong Jiu smiled and said, "As long as I am with my husband, Jiu'er will not suffer." Xiang Yan felt warm in his heart, but also felt uneasy.
Xiang Yan and Murong Jiu walked around the nunnery. This nunnery only had one room, and a yellow curtain divided the room into two parts, the front and the back. The furnishings in the nunnery are simple, with only a Buddha statue and three futons in front of the yellow curtain, and only one bed behind the yellow curtain.
At this time Murong Jiu shuddered. The two fell into the lake and their clothes were soaked. Xiang Yan also felt uncomfortable wearing wet clothes, so he and Murong Jiu took off their wet clothes and put them on the Buddha statue, then hugged each other and lay on the bed. The two are already married, so there is no need to be shy.
After a long time, when the exhausted Xiang Yan and Murong Jiu were lying on the bed to rest, the door of the nunnery was opened, and a delicate voice said: "Master Xiang, Madam Xiang, I left dinner at the door. After you finish your meal, Just put the dishes and chopsticks at the door and I'll clean them up later." Then he closed the door and left.
Xiang Yan and Murong Jiu got up and found that their clothes were half dry. After getting dressed, the hungry two picked up the food and started eating. After finishing their meal, the two sat on the futon and waited for the girl who delivered the meal.
After a long time, a delicate voice sounded at the door again: "Mr. Xiang, Madam Xiang, have you finished your meal?" Xiang Yan opened the door and said, "You've finished eating, please come in." After the girl entered the room, she looked at Murong Nine, smiled and said: "Sisters said that the people who broke into the palace today were my sister and brother-in-law, but I still don't believe it. Now that I look at it, it turns out they are really my sister and brother-in-law!"
Xiang Yan was stunned and asked the girl, "Girl, why did you call Jiuer Sister?" The girl smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, look at my sister's appearance, and then look at my appearance. It's obvious that we are sisters. Something about?"
Xiang Yan took a closer look at the girl and was shocked. This girl is exactly like Murong Jiu from two or three years ago. The two girls stand together. If they say that they are not sisters, no one will believe it. But Xiang Yan knew that the two girls were indeed not sisters, and he thought of the three girls, Li Qiu Shui, Li Qing Luo and Wang Yu Yan, and thought to himself, "Could she be one of Jiu'er's ancestors?"
