The sun in Liuhuo July was already very hot, and by noon it was already like a big fireball. However, under the scorching sun, the courtyard where Duanmu Yu lived in Huadao was completely cool.
The small courtyard was surrounded by thick ice cubes, and the cool breath neutralized the heat. Even the hot wind blowing into the courtyard was instantly cool.
The swing on the camphor tree is still there, occasionally moving due to the wind. On the other side of the tree, under the shadow of the flower tree, a group of people are sitting around a table.
The rectangular table can seat at least three to forty people, but in fact, it only seats a dozen people.
The main seat of the table is empty, but there is a small white jade table on the table. On the table is a jade tablet of life and death. The red characters on the bright jade piece are bright and dazzling.
The first seat on the left side of the long table is Duan Muyu, and to her left are Shui Kongming in purple robes, Junlin in golden armor, Shuihan in red robes, and further back are Zhiqiu, Ghostface, Hongliancheng, and Mu.
scene.
On the first seat on the left, the old lady who was the previous head of the family is sitting next to her, Duanmu Ji, Xiang Ru, and behind her is the Duanmu family's Sunny, Wind, Thunder, Lightning, and Sweet.
Among all the people, Mu Hui was the most favored one. She was sitting on the right hand side of Duanmu Yu who took half a step back, closest to the main seat.
There are abundant fruits on the table, especially in front of the white jade table in front of the main seat. There is a portion of each type of fruit. The fresh fruit flavor and the refreshing smell of tea dye the air with a refreshing fragrance.
The atmosphere in the courtyard is very peaceful. Everyone will look at the jade piece on the main seat when he or she is smiling or raising a lamp or moving in the dining room.
"Two years have passed, and our little darling is actually seventeen years old." The old lady smiled and grabbed a red orange fruit in front of her seat, narrowing her eyes slightly.
Yes.
I haven’t seen my little baby for two years, and it’s really lonely.
Duanmu is auspicious and auspicious, and the three brothers also narrowed their eyes.
Two years...
Mu Jing, Ghost Face, Zhi Qiu, and Hong Liancheng were silent.
The four of them were originally not allowed to appear on Flower Island due to the thousand-year ban. However, because the old lady missed Mu Jing and Gu Lian truly cared about her little grandson, she made a special exception and allowed him to come to Flower Island every July.
Celebrate your birthday with your little one.
Because the inconvenience was so special, the other two were allowed to enter the Flower Island once a year.
"I must have grown taller again." Duanmuyu smiled, with motherly love in his eyes: "You can't do your hair at the age of seventeen. It's not easy for seven elders."
Tai Lao Chang combs the little baby's hair, well, that's really good.
Duanmu Qing and the others thought about the appearance of the seven superior elders, grinned and snickered quietly.
The old lady raised her eyebrows and her face turned into a flower with joy.
The corners of Duanmuji's mouth twitched.
In Junlin, Shui Han and others even had smiles on their eyebrows.
"I have to find time to send a message quickly, so that the Liluo boy can learn how to twist his hair." Shui Kongming frowned, with worry evident: "What if he becomes my son-in-law and hurts my daughter?"
Hair, that’s terrible.”
"It's a waste of time!" Jun Lin and Shui Han glanced at each other, extremely disapproving of that statement.
"Our baby's first son-in-law will definitely be the purple-haired boy." Shui Han rolled his eyes again: "The relationship between the little girl and that boy is extraordinary."
"And the Jiao King's grandson is also pretty good." Duanmuyu smiled and looked sideways.
"The blue-armored Venerable Feng Yu is also a rare person." Jun Lin agreed.
"The boy in silver armor next to my little darling is very handsome." The old lady interjected for the first time.
Here they are enjoying themselves happily, but on the other side, it is also the moment when Xiangsi is on the edge of life and death.
When Xiangsi closed her eyes, the light on the jade piece on the jade platform dimmed, and the four characters in the middle slowly changed from bright to dark, and towards gray.
Young Master, you are really lucky, I have recommended you as a husband.
It was also at this moment that Mu Hui, who pursed her lips, glanced at a few people secretly, then smiled and looked at the jade piece that symbolized the young master, but when she turned her head, she saw that scene.
"Young Master?!" In an instant, Mu Hui suddenly opened her eyes with horror.
The tea cup in "Cha"'s hand turned into powder in an instant with her exertion.
Qianxue?
With a click, everyone turned their eyes in unison.
"Qianxue!" One of them trembled violently, and all of them were so shocked that their faces turned pale.
Once upon a time, the jade piece lost its luster, and the young master narrowly escaped death.
Now, where I am,...
"Young Master, Young Master..." Almost not daring to think about it anymore, Mu Hui turned pale, staggered forward, and tightly held the jade platform under the jade plaque with both hands, her lips trembling.
"Qianxue, Qianxue'er..." Duanmuyu opened his eyes, tears were like spring water, and his face was instantly wet.
The old lady pressed her chest with one hand and pressed the table with the other, with faint blue veins on her face.
Shui Kongming was stunned.
Shui Han's eyes were empty.
Jun Lin stared at the jade piece.
The writing on the small jade piece finally stopped fading when the bright red became very dark and almost turned gray.
"Little baby, don't scare grandma." The old lady stood up tremblingly, standing majestically on the side of the main seat, and touched the jade plaque with her fingers: "You must live well, grandma is still waiting for you to come back to hold the adult ceremony.
.”
"Pa da" clear tears fell down her cheeks and dripped on the jade platform, splashing like bouncing beads.
"Old Master, nothing will happen to the young master." Even though her heart felt cold, Mu Hui supported the old lady and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Eight years ago, when the young master jumped into the river,
The jade medal lost its luster, but the young master later saved the day, and he will definitely be safe this time."
"Mother, I want to go to Xuanwu." Duanmuyu wiped away his tears and clasped the table with both hands: "Huadao, leave it to my mother and uncles, brothers and sisters to protect me. I want to go to Qianxue, watch her, and protect her.
.”
"Let's all go." Junlin, Shuihan, and Shuikongming all stood up.
"Let's go too." Ghostface, Mu Jing, Zhiqiu, and Hong Liancheng stood up at the same time.
"Go." The old lady closed her eyes and opened them again. Her face seemed to have aged ten years, and her eyes were full of exhaustion: "Even though Xiao Qianxue left a message not to allow the Huadao people to go there without authorization, I agreed."
"Junlin, Shuihan, Kongming, Mujing, Muhui, and Ghostface can go together, but others are not allowed." The old lady reappeared majestically, without any ambiguity.
"Master, we have nothing to do. Please allow us to go with you." Zhiqiu and Hong Liancheng didn't care about anything else and rushed forward to fight for it.
"No." The old lady looked directly at the two of them and never let go.
"Mother, uncles, everyone, please take care of me!" Duanmuyu couldn't stay still for a moment. After giving a heavy salute, he reluctantly turned around and walked straight out without looking back.
Junlin, Shuihan, Shui Kongming, Mujing, Ghostface, and Muhui stood up at the same time, following closely behind the others.
"How unbecoming are you in such a panic!" Several people had just moved up, and before they reached the center of the courtyard, bright and dark lights flashed, and seven figures stood in front of a group of people.
Seven people of seven colors are lined up in a row. The one in the middle is black. The ones on the left and right are red, blue, orange, green, and white gold. They all wear fire-patterned masks. Among them, the two people in the middle are wearing white robes.
Still in the shape of a teenager.
Duanmu Yu, several people in Junlin stamped their feet.
"I've seen the Grand Elder!" Duanmuyu bent down the moment he stopped.
Grand Elder?!
"See Grand Elder!" The old lady and several people from the Duanmu family were suddenly startled, and then lowered their heads for a moment.
"Yeah." Seven soft responses sounded at the same time.
At the same moment, the man in blue robe suddenly raised his hand, and light blue light flashed in his hand, turning into a drizzle, and fell on Duanmu Yu, Jun Lin, and Shui Han.
Splitting tendons and cutting off pulses!
"Grand Elder..." Duanmuyu shuddered and cried out sadly.
"Hiss!" The old lady and others gasped, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Lan Yi was unmoved and didn't stop until he clicked once.
"Go back and sit down." The red-robed elder waved his hand, and Light Blue appeared and sent several people to the table.
"The spirit beads on the altar are dark. The clan leader is in danger. Where are you going?" The black-robed elder slowly stepped into the void and walked towards the group of people step by step.
"Yes!" Duanmuyu responded respectfully.
"The former Grand Elder left a secret order from the clan leader. No one is allowed to leave the island to go to Xuanwu without being summoned. Anyone who dares to act without authorization will be sealed and grounded." The young man in black robe stood in front of several people in an instant: "You guys, are you here?
In the following days, stay on Flower Island and do not leave the main courtyard even half a step."
"Great Elder, Qianxue is in trouble. How can we sit back and watch as parents? Please allow us to rush to protect our children." Jun Lin was so anxious, but his profound strength was only half, and he was unable to escape even if he wanted to.
"Do you know why the clan leader didn't let you guys accompany him in the first place?" The black-robed elder sighed secretly and looked at Duanmu Yu with a pair of clear eyes.
"If you stay together and accidentally fall into the enemy's hands, have you ever thought about the consequences?" The white-robed elder's voice was like the peak of a knife, piercing people's hearts: "In the past, the clan leader destroyed Sima and went to perdition just for the sake of
Blood relatives, if one day someone threatens the clan leader with your life in exchange for his life, at that time, have you ever thought about what will happen to the clan leader?"
Duanmuyu shook his body slightly and lowered his eyes silently.
"Your strength is too weak to relieve the clan leader's worries," the red-robed elder then said: "If you go, you will only distract the clan leader, do you understand?"
"I..." Jun Lin's heart was blocked and he couldn't say anything.
"Duanmuyi, please tell the clan members that without the order of the Grand Elder, no one is allowed to seal the meridians of these people." He said coldly, and the young man in black robe turned around: "We are all waiting until the Grand Elder sends back the news.
Discuss."
Baipao and others glanced at a few people and turned around. In just a moment, they disappeared like a yellow crane and never returned.
"Qianxue..." Duanmuyu stepped back, sobbing and bursting into tears again.
Shui Han and Shui Kongming held her hand and bit their lips.
The old lady slowly sat down again, silent.
A sad and desolate atmosphere, colder than ice cubes, slowly rose in the courtyard.
Similarly, there is silence around the West Sea Tears Fountain.
Lei Hen, Hu Teng, and Qing Duan Shan stood at the edge of the ravine, staring down, all shocked. The group of people at the foot of the Tears Fountain were even more trembling, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
As if even the swaying sea water had stopped, there was a deathly silence around the Tears Fountain's eyes.
Within Qilin's teardrops, Sui Feng's pale face quietly regained a trace of color, and there was a hint of relaxation at the corners of his lips.
It's okay, it's okay...
"It's okay, don't worry." He muttered silently several times, swaying his calves in the wind, and slowly got up: "Qianxue escaped another disaster. You should cheer up quickly and wait for the ban here.
After the ban is lifted, we will go look for her together."
