smile to heart

=====================

In the early morning, as soon as Qi Zhong opened the window, he could smell the herbal fragrance after the spring rain had washed everything. It was faint and faint, sneaking into the nose, refreshing.

"Boom boom boom——"

When there was a knock on the door, he thought it was a boy delivering meals, so he didn't rush to pay attention, and slowly put on his clothes and shoes.

Unexpectedly, the person outside the door waited quietly for a while, then knocked twice again, and greeted in a gentle voice: "Brother Qi, are you up? Can I come in now?"

I go.

Is it him?

Qi Zhong was stunned for a second, and then put on quickly, who knew that the more he straightened, the more messy his belt became, and he frantically opened the door.Before leaving, he took a photo in the bronze mirror next to the closet and had his hair cut.

Squeezing the palms of his hands, Qi Zhong took a deep breath and opened the door very solemnly.He himself didn't know what he was nervous about.

Feeling calmer, he pretended to be smart and pushed open the door.As soon as I looked up, I saw a green shade under the morning light, a spring night rain awakened all the vitality in the courtyard, and the flowers bloomed with dew, making it even more beautiful.

And the person standing in front of the Rongrongchun scenery is newer than this scenery.

Qi Zhong pursed his lips and forgot to look away. He only saw that Mu Yun looked brand new today, neatly dressed and formal, standing politely under the eaves, smiling gently at him, as if this solemnity like welcoming a relative was all for him. He comes.

"You, you are back."

Qi Juan babbled twice, lowered his eyes, and suppressed the excited voice in his throat that was about to cheer.

The hands hanging on both sides squeezed behind him guiltily, and I couldn't explain why there was an urge to rush up to hug him.

And Mu Yun outside the door didn't know what to say, so he hummed lightly.

"Come in, come in."

I haven't seen him for a day, but Qi Zhong's mood has changed drastically. He has guilt and longing, which makes him dare not look at Mu Yun's face anymore, for fear that he will talk nonsense in a second.

After entering the room, Qi Zhong took the initiative to pour him a cup of cold tea, and then took a sip himself, the inexplicable restlessness subsided a lot, and his rationality gradually recovered.

Thinking of what Shen Jishu said, Qi Zhong was impatient, but he only dared to ask with a guilty conscience: "Mr. Yun, did you come to me early in the morning for clues?"

"That, in fact, I thought about it a lot later. Although it is rather vague, maybe we can discuss it again."

Qi Zhong was soft-spoken and hard-spoken, he couldn't bear to admit his mistakes, no matter how guilty he was, it was just such an afterthought sophistry.

Mu Yun pursed his lips, and said with a slight smile, "No need, the case is over."

"..."

Hearing this, Qi Zhong was shocked and speechless.

"Then this case is not being investigated? Isn't Linglong Xin caught yet?"

He asked in a low voice, but saw a trace of sadness and self-blame in Mu Yun's eyes.

"We must investigate, and the murderer must also be caught. If it is not for personal grievances, no one can use force to restrain people in Shangjiang."

"Then I'll stay and help you..."

A timid sentence made Mu Yun raise his eyes in surprise, feeling a sense of warmth in his heart.

But he said rationally: "No need, Brother Qi. Your testimonial period is up, I need to take you to Xianzun first, and report a result. As for the subsequent matters, I will handle it myself."

Qi Zhong lost his expression and asked, "Are you driving me away?"

"Huh? No, it's not."

Mu Yun didn't expect him to be so misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.

"I'm just thinking that you will inevitably miss your relatives when you are away for a long time. If you go back earlier, you will not delay your practice in the master's school."

"you……"

Unable to refute for a while, Qi Zhong tilted his head angrily, feeling depressed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Yun said, "Then, brother Qi, you should clean up first. I'll wait for you outside, if you need anything, just let me know."

Looking at the back of him getting up to go out, Qi Zhong frowned tightly, with unwillingness in his eyes, loss was like a bitter taste of strong tea that has been diluted.

Jiugai Mountain is surrounded by auspicious clouds and flying cranes.Suddenly, I saw a rainbow streaking across the sky, falling straight to the entrance of the main hall of Jussing Palace.

Seeing this, the door attendants greeted them with all their hearts, and even the door of the palace, which had been closed for a long time, opened wide when the rainbow light came.

In the hall, the Immortal Liuzhen behind the curtain, when he saw the distinguished guest coming, he rolled up the curtain lightly, rushed to the gate of the hall, and greeted the visitor with kindness.

Looking at the door at first glance, the man in the silver-white fairy clothes fluttered, and immediately illuminated the palace gate's silvery splendor, and the fragrance of medicine in the wind awakened his face.

The Immortal Master of Jiugai Mountain was surprised to hear the person coming, and he kept paying homage: "Liu Zhen welcomes the Medical Sage."

Feng Mei restrained her divine splendor, turned into a mortal body, and walked straight into the hall.

"Stay true, it's urgent, there's no need to be polite. Let's get rid of idlers first."

"Yes."

Immortal Liuzhen responded respectfully and dismissed his attendants.

"God please take your seat."

Feng Mei nodded lightly, but only took the second seat.

"Liu Zhen, you have served as an immortal in Tongjiang for many years, and you have handled many matters well. Xuannv and the others are very satisfied with this, and they have left a name for you in the immortal class. Can you become one of the gods in this life? One, it depends on whether you can handle the one thing right now."

"I don't know what the god said?"

The face is respectful, but the heart is terrified.Immortal Liuzhen hesitated to answer.

Feng Mei cast a spell to light one side of the incense, and poured some beard herbs into the furnace, her expression was calm, but her words had a hint of guilt.

"Even if you don't know, don't you know how to guess?"

Immortal Liuzhen immediately replied in fear and fear.

"It's the humble official who is ignorant. I really don't know what the gods are saying. But these years, the humble official has also noticed the changes in Tongjiang. He has never taken it lightly. He has also reported the truth to Xuannv and the others. He has not received a clear order yet."

Feng Mei nodded with a half-smile.

"Deliberately ambiguous, do you still want to conceal the fact that the Rakshasa God has possessed the consciousness of evil thoughts?"

"Why does Tongjiang change, don't you know?"

Noticing Feng Mei's sullen voice, Immortal Liu Zhen felt ashamed for a moment, stabilized her mind, and continued to argue.

"...The power of divine consciousness originated from ancient times, and it is really uncontrollable. Li Yuanxie has gained this divine consciousness, which is already adding wings to a tiger. There is no other way for a lowly job, and he is still in the middle of it. He wants to wait until the situation is stable, and then he will go back and forth." Make a report, so as not to startle the snake, and there is no intention of concealing it."

"Really? The unsettled case in Shangjiang caused an uproar, and it was also caused by him. As the immortal of Jiugai Mountain, why didn't you come forward to deal with this matter?"

"Shenjun misunderstood. I have handed over this matter to the next immortal, intending to test it."

Immortal Liuzhen took the opportunity to evade, and diverted Fengmei's attention without any trace.

"Oh? Where is it sacred?" Feng Mei raised her eyebrows and asked.

Liu Zhen smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Fu Feng Mu Yun."

Fengmei pondered for a moment, then got a little impression: "Is he the one hand-picked by Xuannv before?"

"Yes. The Heavenly Mandate is still stored in the Tiange, and it will only be announced to the world on the day of the Conferring Ceremony."

"Then...it really should be put to the test."

Feng Mei lowered her gaze, and paused to close the scroll in the air, her thoughts changed, she was surprised that her attention had been diverted, and her face suddenly sullen.

"This...is not our top priority."

Staying true for a moment, he repeatedly apologized: "Yes, what the Divine Lord said is very true."

"However, the case of Linglongxin is indeed too difficult as a test. When I entered Xinjiang, I had dealt with those cunning demons. Their methods were despicable and dirty, and these young people could not solve it alone."

"You, shouldn't retire completely."

Feng Mei was obviously dissatisfied with his actions, and her tone became quite serious.

Immortal Liu Zhen had a different mind, and he was well aware of being questioned at the moment, but he did have a reason why he didn't dare to take it lightly.

I had no choice but to apologize: "Dereliction of duty in a humble position."

Feng Mei also didn't intend to raise too much training, and said calmly: "I know your ability is limited, now that I've been ordered to go to Xinjiang, I will help you. I will handle the case of Linglongxin myself, and you don't have to put pressure on Wansheng anymore. .”

"Instead, we should put all our attention on the search for the remaining one-third of evil thoughts and spiritual consciousness, and we must always be alert to the ambitions of the Raksha God Venerable in Kuocang Mountain. After the spiritual consciousness is gathered, we will start the matter of killing demons."

Immortal Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment at the last sentence, then nodded slowly.

"Yes. But I would like to ask the gods, do you need to open the secret passage in the world to find the remaining spiritual consciousness?"

"No need!"

Feng Mei retorted in a deep voice, with a solemn expression.

"Another strand of spiritual consciousness was drawn to Tongjiang by Su Nu more than ten years ago. You just need to try to find it. You must never open the channel between Tongjiang and the outside world, otherwise..."

The past events suddenly appeared in the mind, Feng Mei was in a trance for a moment, and cut off the following.

I don't want to ask more questions, so I should be cautious.

"Yes."

"But there is one more thing to ask the gods."

"What's the matter?"

"The case of Linglongxin has been paid close attention to by the family of the Cultivation Sect in Shangjiang. If an explanation is not given as soon as possible, I'm afraid..."

These words seemed to throw away the mess and Feng Mei wanted to urge her to do so. Feng Mei only said that she had to deal with it, but she didn't say that she would give an explanation to anyone. The words of keeping a true immortal were considered offensive. Afterwards, He himself didn't dare to continue talking nonsense.

Sure enough, Fengmei snorted softly: "You should make good use of the position of immortal venerable. You, handle it yourself."

"Uh. Yes." Immortal Liu Zhen's expression froze, and he had no choice but to respond.However, he felt a big sigh of relief: at least if Fengmei took action, Linglongxin would no longer be able to commit crimes.He can also take a break to deal with that person.

"Then Shenjun might as well stay in Jiugai Mountain temporarily to avoid evil spirits from disturbing you again."

Feng Mei lowered her eyes and refused.

"No, I have borrowed the identity of Tang Xun, the second Patriarch of the Tang Sect, to hide it for the time being. First, it is convenient for careful investigation, and second, it is also easy to deal with changes from time to time. You don't need to intervene in this matter, I will take care of it. You just need to arrange to find things."

After finishing speaking, the rainbow flowed into the clouds and disappeared without a trace.

"Congratulations to the gods."

Immortal Liuzhen sent him off respectfully, but his heart was already full of emotions, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Junior Brother, it seems that you and I will inevitably meet again."

At this time, Tong Chuan's disciples came to report.

"Xianzun, the third son Mu came to report the results of the murder case, and he is waiting outside the hall for an audience."

Liu Zhen suppressed the vicissitudes in Lian's eyes, lowered the curtain again, and said in a deep voice, "Xuan."

……

Outside the waiting hall, Qi Zhong saw Mu Yun's serious expression and felt bored, so he looked around.

Suddenly, he saw broken rainbows dotted on the long corridor next to him. He was wondering, but a sense of familiarity suddenly appeared in his heart, which made him dizzy for a moment.

In the memory, whirring reflections flow, blurred figures overlap, and fragmentary words are weak.

"Senior brother, look, that herbal picker has spilled out his divine essence again..."

"Hey, Xiaoyue, why did you tell him to pick medicine again? He is obviously driven by a plain girl..."

……

His brows were furrowed, his headache was about to split, and Qi Zhong covered his head with his hands when this strange memory rushed into his mind, feeling uncomfortable.

Seeing this abnormality, Mu Yun hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Brother Qi, brother Qi...what's wrong with you?"

"...uh, I have a headache."

The inexplicable fuzzy scene shuttled through his mind, and Qi finally couldn't express it.But when he saw Mu Yun's concerned eyes, his mind suddenly became clear, and his heart ached.

Trembling his thin lips, he unconsciously shouted: "...Brother."
