The young man was wearing a colorful short robe from a foreign race, holding a scroll, and the silver jewelry around his neck jingled as he walked.
There was a bit of roundness on his face, and his eyebrows were like stars.
Very eye-catching.
Jiang Yu touched the tip of his nose. He didn't expect to see an old friend he hadn't seen for more than ten years here, and he felt a little embarrassed.
More than ten years ago, Xiangyang came to Xianyun Mountain with his family elders. Jiang Yu was similar to him at that time, but Xiangyang went back within a few months, and the gap was more than ten years.
It's pretty good if you can recognize people.
Xiangyang recognized Jiang Yu and ran two steps happily.
"It's you! I haven't seen you for many years. How are you? A few days ago, when I first arrived in Xuzhou Mansion, I saw your master Qi Er Ye. Didn't he say that you haven't come down yet? Why did he come back so soon? Did you change your mind and let you go down the mountain?"
Did he meet Master a few days ago?
Jiang Yu frowned in confusion and asked, "Have you seen my master in the past few days?"
"Yes," Xiang Yang said with a smile, "at the tea house in the west of the city, I saw him in a hurry, so I didn't talk much. What? Didn't the second master also come to see what happened in the Hu Mansion? Are you going to With him?"
"It's a long story. My master is not here right now. I am here to get his things. People have already gone to get them. I will leave after I get them."
Jiang Yu noticed the scroll in his hand. Xiang Yang looked at him with a smile, weighed the scroll, and handed it over.
"This is the notice posted by the Hu family on the bulletin board, so I posted it and came here to take a look. Xiao Yu, why are you leaving? It's so hard to go down the mountain and don't want to take a look."
He took the scroll and opened it. It was indeed a notice from Hu Mansion, and it was also stamped with the official seal of Yuling Mansion.
Jiang Yu was surprised. He didn't expect Xiangyang to take over the matter.
"Why did you accept this list? Today I heard from the Hu Mansion boy that the Yu Ling Mansion was involved in this matter."
Xiangyang put away the scroll and put away his lazy expression.
"I came down from the mountain to practice. Naturally, I am adhering to the ancestral teachings of my master."
Jiang Yu had a thought in his mind and actually said in unison with him: "If there is any injustice on the road, you will definitely draw your sword to help."
For a time, the awkward atmosphere of meeting old friends disappeared. The two looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Yu's tense mood for several days finally relaxed.
"Since there is the Yuling Mansion's seal on the notice, I naturally know that they will intervene in this matter, but since I have decided to go down the mountain to practice, I must not be afraid of trouble."
Xiang Yang waved his hand nonchalantly. A young man's calf is not afraid of tigers, which is commendable for his courage.
He turned around and asked Jiang Yulai: "What about you? The second master is not here, and you want to leave too? He told me that day that he would take you to Shunan after finishing the affairs here. Why is it happening now? He just ran away."
Jiang Yu grasped the key to his words.
"Shunan? Do you know the whereabouts of my master?"
He rubbed his nose and said, "Hey, after we talked that day, he told me something."
Xiang Yang was a little happy and he winked at Jiang Yu: "If you help me investigate the affairs of Hu Mansion, I will consider telling you, how about it?"
"..."
"How's that? It's fair."
Jiang Yu turned his head and continued to read the words 'Tao follows nature', and only five words came out of his mouth: "I'm not interested in checking."
She had known Xiangyang since she was a child, so she naturally knew his true nature: although he was enthusiastic and righteous, he was too hot-tempered and was prone to cheating and cheating.
As a person from the Vientiane Valley in the Central Plains, Xiangyang has extremely protective elders to wipe his ass. But Jiang Yu is different. Her backstage is only her master. And now that her master is gone, she has to find this old man. .
If this person agreed to Xiang Yang's help, this person would immediately slap the snake on the stick and pester him endlessly.
Besides, the news given by Xiang Yang may not be true.
Xiangyang was not annoyed at all, he just stepped forward and started talking to her with a playful smile.
"Oh, just because we are old acquaintances, please help me. If I hadn't met you, I would only be 50% sure about this matter, but now that I have met you, I am 100% sure Be sure."
"I heard that the Yuling Mansion will personally inspect this matter. If you put me under their noses, I'm afraid of being arrested."
Before he could finish speaking, the outer door was suddenly clicked and someone walked in.
"My Yuling Mansion is not an unreasonable place. If you haven't committed any crime, who will arrest you?"
Xiangyang was still messing around when he suddenly heard a cold voice coming from behind. The two of them looked back and saw a young man with thin lips and phoenix eyes walking in with a sword in his hand.
A group of people in brocade clothes filed in with swords on their backs, stood in the study, and surrounded them.
Jiang Yu's sharp eyes saw the jade plaque hanging on the young man's waist. The words "Seven Kills" were engraved on it.
The visitor turned out to be the disciple of the Xingyan Sect who came down from the mountain a few days ago, the Seven Killing Stars, Li Hanguang!
Jiang Yu originally wanted to give up and made up her mind not to get involved with Xiang Yang. She was ready to run away when Zheng De brought something.
Now that I see this situation, I don’t want to get involved in it anymore.
She glanced at Xiang Yang secretly and took a step back silently.
The first step is the best, the first step is the best.
Li Hanguang sat on the soft couch, and the attendant who followed him immediately brought tea. He opened the lid, and a strong floral fragrance filled the study.
He said slowly: "The Yu Ling Mansion is doing business. Unless you are the one who revealed the list, no other people are allowed to enter."
Xiang Yang was interrupted by this person just now, and he held his breath in his heart. He looked Li Hanguang up and down and sneered.
"I thought it was a senior master who came here, but I didn't want to be a yellow-haired boy. Seeing that you are quite young and don't practice well, you were actually sent out by the Yuling Mansion to do things."
What he said was not because he had high eyesight, but because Xiangyang had lived in the sect all year round and had never left the mountain. He had never heard of the name of Xingyan Sect. Moreover, Li Hanguang looked young and panic-stricken. He actually looked smaller than Jiang Yu next to him.
He looks like someone who makes people look down upon.
Li Hanguang slowly put down the tea cup, and the old god sat with his hands folded. He listened to Xiang Yang's rude whisper to himself. Although he couldn't understand what he meant by "little pretty face", he probably knew that he meant some bad words.
The young man had an incomprehensible look on his face, but his words were sophisticated and extremely venomous.
"Just because you, a guy who judges people by their appearance, can be released to travel around the world. It seems that Wanxiang Valley is no more than that. It's no wonder that Yuling Mansion allows me to come here."
Xiang Yang's expression changed. Everyone in the Wanxiang Valley was a foreigner. It was not surprising to recognize him. However, these words were belittling his own sect, which was really intolerable.
He gritted his teeth and secretly spat, "You actually said that about me, Vientiane Valley!"
"What?" Li Hanguang asked with interest: "I didn't know that Jianghu is your one-spoken hall in Wanxiang Valley, and you can't even let anyone talk?"
Jiang Yu saw the two of them getting angry after just a few words, and the atmosphere became tense. He quickly pulled Xiang Yang away to prevent this person from suddenly becoming violent.
The phoenix-eyed boy drinking tea was quite vicious.
Are all the disciples from big families so unforgiving?
Li Hanguang drank a few sips of tea and sighed. He turned his head, saw the scroll in Xiang Yang's hand, and shook his head.
"I thought I could meet the famous Mr. Qi, but I didn't expect there was only a newcomer who made rude remarks. I'd better go back."
These words were quite disdainful, and Xiang Yang was so angry that he wanted to rush up and fight with him.
Jiang Yu had a thought in his mind and quickly stopped him. He turned to Li Hanguang and smiled: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood. It's the two of us who unveiled this list."
Li Hanguang rarely raised his eyelids and turned his sword-like gaze.
He noticed this person as soon as he entered the door, because he could easily see through Xiangyang's behavior, but he couldn't see through this person's behavior.
If it's not incompetence, it means that his cultivation level is not shallow.
"Oh? May I ask who you are? Which sect do you come from?"
When Jiang Yu saw someone asking about it, he didn't shirk away and bowed his hands.
"This is Jiang Yu who is holding the title of Climbing the Immortal Pavilion from Yunshan Mountain." She pointed at Xiangyang and said with a smile: "This is Xiangyang from Wanxiang Valley. I have offended you a lot just now. I hope you can forgive me. I don't know what I call you."
Li Hanguang's expression remained unchanged, he picked up the teacup and blew another breath.
"Xingyan Sect, Li Hanguang."
Xianyun Mountain...
He actually came from Mingshan Xianyun. I wonder if it has anything to do with that set of flying knives.
"Since you two have unveiled the list, take this thing." He slowly took out a token from his arms and threw it over.
Jiang Yu took it and saw that the token was very simple, without any carvings. But if you look closely, it is indeed made of rare dark wood. On the front, there is only the word "Yuling" engraved, and on the back, there is a single word "Lian".
Li Hanguang curled his fingers and tapped the table gently: "If you need help from the Yuling Mansion, come to the Yamen in the west of the city with this card to find me. If you can complete this matter as soon as possible, you can also come to Yuling Mansion with this card after the matter is completed. Lingfu collects the bounty.”
After that, he stood up and walked out of the door calmly.
Although Xiang Yang was dissatisfied with Li Hanguang, he was the one who exposed this matter, and now he asked Jiang Yu to handle it with him by accident, so he was not in a bad mood.
After everyone in Yuling Mansion had left, two people suddenly poked their heads at the door.
It turned out that Zheng De and the Wang family boy were guarding there tremblingly.
He held a long horse-killing knife as tall as a man and dragged it in with all his strength. When he saw the dumbfounded Xiang Yang and the calm Jiang Yu, a flattering smile appeared on his face.
"Two, two little immortal masters, why don't you collect your things first and then go and see how your husband is doing?"
…
Jiang Yu took the long knife, put it on his back, tied the knife rope tightly, and put the burden left by his master on his back.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a swordsman who travels around the world. He really doesn't look like a warlock.
Xiangyang teased her: "What's wrong with you? After all these years, I have grown like a bean sprout, but now I haven't grown this sword."
The girl was speechless and glanced at him: "Even if I can't grow up with this knife, you can't beat me with this knife."
She turned around and asked Zheng De to lead the way, ignored Xiang Yang, and walked out with the cat in her arms. Xiang Yang asked for trouble, touched his nose, and followed Jiang Yu.
The entire house of the Hu Mansion faces north and south, but the house of Erlang of the Hu family does open to the north. When the two of them stepped inside, they felt a sense of coolness.
If you live here for a long time, your body will definitely feel uncomfortable.
The further we walked into the house, the more luxurious the decorations became, but the colder it became. Even Xiang Yang, who was making a fuss, noticed something was wrong.
The yin energy here is very strong, and it is definitely not a place where ordinary people live for a long time.
Jiang Yu and Xiang Yang looked at each other and saw a look of understanding in each other's eyes.
Suddenly there was a calculation in my heart.
There are evil spirits haunting the Hu Mansion.
Suddenly there were some noises in the side room. Everyone looked over and saw a maid pushing the door open and welcoming a girl dressed in white for a month.
Zheng De bowed to her and called her "Lady Lan".
Lan Niang nodded to a few people. She held her maid's hand and walked like a weak willow supporting the wind. She looked extremely weak. In addition, her skin was fair. At this time, she frowned slightly and paid no attention to the scrutinizing gazes of Jiang Yu and Xiangyang. Don't hide it, but don't make people feel bored.
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes when he saw this person.
Lan Niang covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and then said: "I think this is the master I found for my husband. I was supposed to be here to receive a few people, but I have been infected with the cold in recent days. I am really helpless, so I asked Brother Zheng to greet the experts in our courtyard."
Zheng De lowered his head and said yes again and again.
There was a trace of apology on her face, she curtsied and left with the maid.
After she left, Zheng De straightened his back and spat in disgust.
He saw that Jiang Yu and the others were a little confused, and he smiled: "Little benefactor, little immortal master, you don't need to take this girl to heart, she is just a girl who came from Lanyue Tower, and was redeemed by Erlangjun. Mr. Erlang had previously promised to let her in after he got his wife, but now that Mr. Erlang is ill, she must have felt that there was no hope of getting in and had other thoughts."
Jiang Yu turned his head and looked thoughtfully at the corridor where Lan Niang left.
