The moon did not rise and the sun did not rise. The sky began to brighten. Rays of dawn penetrated the morning mist, trying to dispel the long darkness. However, it could not dispel the uneasiness in Ying Feiyang's heart.
He rode his horse away from the pursuit of the masked man. Now that he had stepped into Gongzi Ling's territory, it was reasonable to say that no one would dare to provoke Gongzi Ling. He should be safe. However, Ying Feiyang felt uneasy when he thought of Gongzi Ling's absence in the Battle of Heavenly Book. He knew that the real danger had just begun.
With Gongzi Ling's temperament, since he had announced that he wanted to fight for the Arcane Tome, he would definitely do what he said. However, Gongzi Ling did not show up for the Battle of Arcane Tome. Did this mean that there was an unknown change in Jinping Mountain Villa?
With a taut heart, Ying Feiyang passed through a valley, passed through a thick fog set up by spells, and suddenly felt enlightened.
The mountains and rivers in front of him were connected, the river was like a jade belt winding around the mountains with fragrant grass and trees. Although the mountains were not steep, they were quite exquisite, similar to the beautiful hills of Jiangnan. To be able to see such a mountain in the southwest of Ba and Shu was a great wonder.
Among them, there was another mountain that stood impressively like stars surrounding the moon. This mountain was towering and lush, with fragrant vegetation. It was green as far as the eyes could see. On the top of the mountain, there was a silver waterfall that pierced through the sky and poured into a green pool at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the curtain of the waterfall hanging, splashing pearls and jade, it refracted a colorful rainbow bridge. It was dazzling and breathtaking. Under the rainbow bridge, the eaves and corners could be faintly seen. It was a quiet and elegant mountain villa.
Rainbow bridges adorned the Secluded Secluded Manor, and it seemed completely natural. It was like a peacock spreading out its seven colored tail feathers, and only such a miraculous scene was worthy of the name 'brocade'.
"The rainbow bridge, I didn't find the wrong place at all!" Although he had been neighbors with Jinping Mountain Villa for many years, it was the first time Ying Feiyang set foot on the boundary of Jinping Mountain Villa. Fortunately, he knew that beside Jinping Mountain Villa, there was a colorful rainbow refracted by the waterfall. Jinping Mountain Villa was named after it. Otherwise, it would not be easy to find the location of the villa in the mountains.
Following the direction of the rainbow, he saw a stone staircase paved with bluestone winding upwards, leading the way. Leading the horse up the mountain, he felt that the surrounding scenery was bright and beautiful, very much like a freehand landscape painting.
But after walking for a while, the feeling of unease that had been washed away by the beautiful scenery in front of him surged up again.
"We've already passed the mountain gate and the villa is right in front of us. Why isn't there a single guarding demon spirit along the way?"
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he vaguely heard battle cries coming from the top of the mountain.
"Go, surround him!"
"Don't let him go, attack his left side, quick!"
"Alright! Very good! He can't hold on much longer! "
Hearing the battle cries, Ying Feiyang's heart trembled, "I was right, something happened to Jinping Villa!"
Originally, Ying Feiyang had dismounted from his horse as soon as he passed through the mountain gate to show his respect to Gongzi Ling. But now, he no longer cared about etiquette and leaped onto his horse without hesitation. He urged the horse to gallop forward. His heart, which was hanging high in the air, felt as if it was on fire. He wished he could immediately fly to the Manor House to investigate.
But when he really reached the top of the mountain, even though he had already expected the tragic state of Jinping Villa, what he saw in front of him was still beyond his imagination.
Green bricks, red tiles, pavilions, Jinping Villa stood impressively tall.
In front of the vermilion gate, a few young maids were half-squatting and half-lying around an earthen basin. Their black eyes stared at the earthen basin, and they even waved their pink fists and shouted.
"Quick, bite it! Kick it! "
"Bite it tightly, don't let go! It can't hold on much longer! "
"Who can't hold on much longer? Hehe, want to fight with my General Silver Back?"
The battle cries just now were actually from a few young maids who were 'fighting bugs'.
Ying Feiyang only felt that his brain had received a shock and went blank. For a moment, he didn't know how to react. The horse under him had already charged towards those maids.
"Aiya!"
"Quickly dodge!"
After a series of chaos, the few maids scattered in all directions. Ying Feiyang finally pulled the reins at the last moment and didn't step on them.
Ying Feiyang hurriedly got off the horse, but was immediately criticized.
"Who are you! How dare you drive a horse straight into Jinping Villa! " A cat demon with vertical pupils and cat ears pointed angrily at Ying Feiyang as she rubbed her butt that was hurt by the fall.
Ying Feiyang knew that he was in the wrong and hurriedly got off the horse to apologize. "I am Ying Feiyang. I have come to visit Young Master Peacock and Miss Chu Song. I have offended you ladies, please forgive me."
"Visit? Who visits like this, charging in so rashly. Don't you know to pay respects to the mountain gate first? "A small dog demon with a furry tail also stood up and said angrily.
"That … I think the mountain gate is guarded by you and Wei Meng 'er. You all came to fight bugs, how is he going to pay respects to the mountain gate?" A small rabbit demon with red eyes said timidly to the dog demon.
"Aiya, that's right!" The small dog demon was enlightened and immediately scolded, "No, Ah Tong, you idiot, why did you say it to his face!"
Ying Feiyang listened to these innocent little female demons talking and immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was so nervous that Jinping Villa was under attack. So this was the case. He held back his laughter and said, "If that's the case, can you ladies help me inform them?"
"My General Silver Back, my General Silver Back is gone!" Ying Feiyang looked over and saw a pretty girl in a purple dress with two buns kneeling on the ground. She was rummaging through the broken pieces of the pot while sobbing. Ying Feiyang looked over and saw a pretty girl in a purple dress with a vertical collar kneeling on the ground.
"If he's gone, then he's gone. Right, we haven't decided who won just now. Quickly return my money." The small cat demon's round eyes turned and she quickly snatched the copper coins on the ground.
Once she moved, the other little demons were afraid that they would be too slow, so they also snatched the money. Seeing this, the small demon in the purple dress said, "You … why are you all like this … sob sob …" As she spoke, she actually sat on the ground and cried.
The small rabbit demon was embarrassed and said, "That … Meng 'er, don't cry. We don't want the money, we'll give it all to you."
The small dog demon also snatched the money from the small cat demon and placed it in front of Wei Meng 'er, "That's right, the money is all yours. You win."
The small cat demon pouted and said, "What's there to cry about? Isn't it just a bug that ran away? Our bugs are also gone, but we don't cry like you."
"It's not the same … how can your bugs be compared to my General Silverback? Three of them can't even beat one … Give me back my General Silverback." The female demon in the purple dress was still crying.
"This feeling … Why does it feel like I'm dealing with four Mu Xiaomei at the same time …" When Ying Feiyang was young, he had been tormented by Mu Xiaomei, the little troublemaker. He was not good at dealing with this kind of young girl. At this time, he forced a soft voice and comforted her, "Little girl, can you help me pass the message first? When I'm done, I'll give you ten bugs, okay?"
"I don't want it, I only want my General Silverback. If you don't return my General Silverback to me, I won't help you pass the message." The female demon in the purple dress stared at him with her still wet eyes and said angrily.
Ying Feiyang suddenly felt a headache. It was easy to find ten crickets to replace it, but when the pot was broken, the original bugs had already disappeared. It was easier said than done to catch the same General Silverback.
While he was having a headache, Ying Feiyang suddenly noticed that the vertical collar on the little girl's purple dress was not a real collar, but a flower petal that grew from the back of her white neck. Ying Feiyang's eyes lit up and asked, "From what they called you just now, is your surname Wei?"
"So what if it is?"
"Peony, Yao Huang, Wei Zi. Looking at your clothes and your surname, you're from Sky Incense Valley?"
"You know our Sky Incense Valley?" Wei Meng Er asked with her eyes wide open. Half a year ago, Ji Yaoyue fought for a place for the demons of Sky Incense Valley to stay. Most of the women and children moved from Sky Incense Valley to Jadeite Valley, which was not far from Jinping Mountain Village. Wei Meng Er was one of them. Because of her sweet and cute appearance, she was chosen to live in Jinping Mountain Village.
"No, no, I don't know you!" Ying Feiyang thought for a while and decisively gave up on the idea of getting close to her. He changed his approach and said, "How about this, it's my fault for offending you, but it's also your fault for leaving the sect without permission. You go and report me to Master Peacock later, and I won't tell on you. How about that?"
"What a despicable human!" Little Cat Demon said.
"Naughty!" Little Rabbit Demon said.
"It's all because of you, Ah Tong, who let the cat out of the bag!" Little Dog Demon complained.
Ying Feiyang was thick-skinned and pretended not to hear it. He looked at Wei Meng Er, who was biting her lips, and asked, "How about it, do you have a deal?"
Just as he was about to get his way, he suddenly heard an arrogant voice. "You dare to threaten my daughter in my territory? You little brat, you're really getting more and more promising!"
The voice was clear, but it seemed to be coming from far away. He couldn't tell where the voice came from. It was Master Ling.
"Yes, it's impossible that Master Ling didn't notice the commotion at the door." Ying Feiyang's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Ying Feiyang greets Master Ling. I took the liberty to visit you because I have a request."
"A request? But why should I agree to your request? "
Hearing Master Ling's question, Ying Feiyang was slightly relieved. He knew that Master Ling didn't really blame him. Otherwise, with Master Peacock's temperament, he wouldn't have said so much and would have directly thrown him out. He then said, "It's not about me, it's about the Holy Lady of Buddhism …"
Ying Feiyang summarized the whole story. After a moment of silence, he heard Master Ling's disdainful voice. "The Holy Lady of Buddhism is really passed down from generation to generation. It's a sad and pitiful line. She can't love and hate. Even if she wakes up, she's just a walking corpse. What's the difference from now?" But then he changed the topic and said, "But I can't bear to see her wither away like this. Tong, send the Holy Lady to the guest room first. Meng 'er, invite your Sister Chu Song and let her check on the Holy Lady's condition."
Ying Feiyang let out a sigh of relief. Master Ling was famous for liking women and disliking men. He treated women like a member of a noble family. Although he was still arrogant, he never lacked etiquette and even took pity on women. What's more, Gongzi Ling naturally wouldn't reject such a beautiful woman like the Angel.
Wei Meng 'er glared at Ying Feiyang angrily and got up to find Chu Song. Meanwhile, the little rabbit demon Tong' er clumsily carried the Holy Lady down from the horse's back and brought her to the guest room.
Ying Feiyang saw that it was inconvenient for the little demon Tong 'er to carry the Holy Lady Ling Xin and hurriedly went to help. "Leave her to me."
Master Ling's loud voice sounded. "I only said that I would receive the Holy Lady. Did I say that I would allow you to enter?"
Ying Feiyang had one foot over the threshold and was awkwardly suspended in mid-air.
"My Jinping Mountain Manor doesn't receive male guests. Make yourself at home."
Ying Feiyang didn't know whether to advance or retreat. He wouldn't feel at ease leaving the Holy Lady Ling Xin alone in the manor. He couldn't help but mutter softly, "Then where should I stay …"
Unexpectedly, his soft mutter was heard by Master Ling. He jokingly said, "Isn't it normal for a cultivator to sleep in the sky and on the ground? If not, the Jadeite Valley is not far to the east. It's considered Ji Yaoyue's maiden home. You can stay there. If you can't find the way, I can ask Wei Meng 'er to bring you there. "
That kind of mother-in-law's existence was something that ordinary people would avoid like the plague. How could they really send themselves to the door? Fortunately, at this moment, a gentle female voice came to his rescue.
"Alright, husband, don't tease him anymore. He's my junior after all. I've come to visit, how can I not let him come and see me? "
The voice was elegant and gentle like the sound of a clear valley. However, this soft sentence made Ying Feiyang feel like he had heard thunder and was shocked. That woman called Master Ling husband as if she was his senior.
Could it be that Master Ling had remarried someone he knew?
"Madam, how would I dare to disobey? Miao 'er, bring him in. "
Hearing that Master Ling would let him in, the little cat demon led Ying Feiyang into the manor. They went around a rockery and entered a winding corridor.
The inside of the manor was elegant and unique. Every blade of grass and tree had been carefully arranged. However, Ying Feiyang had doubts and was not in the mood to admire it.
Finally, they arrived at a waterside pavilion at the end of the corridor. Inside the pavilion, a man and a woman were playing chess and enjoying the view. A figure followed them.
Facing him was Master Ling. Master Ling was dressed like a master of an aristocratic family. He had an indescribable noble aura. Even the arrogance in his eyes seemed to have softened. When he saw Ying Feiyang, he said to the woman playing chess with him, "Madam, the junior you've been thinking about for a long time has arrived. Let's stop here today." As he said this, he messed up the chess game on the table.
The woman said lightly, "The dignified Master Peacock has such a dirty trick. Forget it, I'll let you go today. Let me see Gu Jiansheng's disciple first."
The woman threw down the chess piece and turned to look at Ying Feiyang with a smile.
However, when he saw her face, Ying Feiyang cried out as if he was shocked by electricity.
