Too Reckless

, Update the latest chapter of Taimang as soon as possible!

On a cold winter night, thin clouds obscured the moonlight, and the first snow fell on the courtyards unknowingly.

The lights in the main house have been extinguished, but two women can be vaguely heard talking softly:

"Auntie, this time out, Tang Jingxuan and Zuo Lingquan..."

"Be disciplined, don't mess around..."

"How could it not be messed up, I'm not stupid, they must have kissed..."

"Ugh……"

The dumpling squatted on the windowsill of the west wing, making a 'gugujiji' every now and then, trying to find a soft place to sleep, but the master told him to keep watch, and he didn't dare to run around, he could only stare at the sparse snowflakes listlessly. daze.

Behind the window, is a neat and clean boudoir, the lights are out, but the curtain is not lowered.

Tang Jing was lying on the pillow, her eyes were covered with the black eye mask made by Wu Qingwan herself, her teeth were biting her fiery red lips, her breathing was unsteady, and her breath was like blue.

The warm yellow apron was embroidered with bird dumplings, which were stretched so fat that they were originally very cute.

It's a pity that the shape is changing at this time, and he is bitten from time to time. If the dumpling sees it, he doesn't know if he will be angry.

The white silk trousers were pulled down a little, and half wrapped around the plump buttocks. Although the light was dim, the big peach with tension could still be vaguely seen.

Compared with Tang Jingxun, who lost his mind, Zuo Lingquan is much more awake. He stretches Jingxong's muscles and bones gently and considerately. Feeling that Jingxong can't bear it anymore, he also asks softly:

"Xun'er, did the ancestor not come?"

"Um……"

Tang Jingshen's mind was occupied by shyness and intoxication, her thoughts were short-circuited, she was suddenly interrupted by words, a little loss appeared on her cheeks, and she became a little more awake. She felt it seriously:

"That mother-in-law didn't know where to hide, she probably won't come... You, go ahead, I'll tell you when she comes, and then you toss her..."

Zuo Lingquan was fluttering like a fairy, but he was really frightened. The two feelings were mixed together, and to be honest, it was quite exciting.

Seeing that the ancestor of Shangguan had not been provoked yet, Zuo Lingquan was reluctant to hold back his hands, so he hugged Tang Jingxun tighter, and his right hand slipped down the waistline.

Just before the white jade tiger bit his finger, Zuo Lingquan realized that something was wrong, as if something was staring at him.

The boudoir was pitch-dark, and the girls in the house were all in their own rooms, and they didn't hear the formation being touched.

Zuo Lingquan thought it was an illusion, but he glanced around and looked above the curtain, his body froze suddenly, and he was almost scared to death.

At the top of the curtain, a translucent golden ghost floated there quietly, staring at him calmly.

I don't know when it appeared, the scene looks a little weird, but those eyes that can shock the soul are completely unbearable, and all one can feel is an unattainable sense of oppression.

Tang Jing was blindfolded, and her hands were jerky around Zuo Lingquan's neck, waiting for her lover's bullying, but there was no feedback after waiting for a long time. She pursed her lips and hesitated before saying:

"The dead mother-in-law didn't come, why didn't you move?"

Zuo Lingquan lay on his side with a stiff expression, looking at the woman in the golden dress who was close at hand above, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to say hello.

Tang Jingxuan waited for a while before realizing something was wrong. She lifted her blindfold, and when she looked up, she saw the golden-robed female ghost above. She shuddered in shock, and quickly hugged Zuo Lingquan:

"Ah!"

As soon as she exclaimed, Tang Jingxuan responded again.

Although it was the first time she and Shangguan Ancestor faced each other, the feeling on the other side made her guess who it was.

Tang Jing's expression froze, her eyes widened, and after glancing at the woman in the golden skirt above, she carefully protected Zuo Lingquan, frowning a little in fear:

"Dead... Damn mother-in-law, why did you come here by yourself? Why don't you go to hell?"

The woman in the golden dress was quietly suspended, her eyes without the slightest emotion, staring at the pair of men and women below:

"You continue, as long as the deity does not exist."

does not exist?

Zuo Lingquan has great courage, and he probably won't be able to get up when stared at like this. He pulled up the quilt to cover Jingxing, and said embarrassedly:

"Senior, I'm afraid this is not very good. What is Jingxong and I doing in private? Come and watch..."

"Don't you want the deity to come over and teach the deity a lesson?"

"No." Zuo Lingquan hurriedly shook his head: "I don't mean to be disrespectful to the seniors, it's just that I am in love with Jingsong. The seniors always come at critical moments, isn't it a bit bad?"

Tang Jingxiao was not afraid of a dead mother-in-law, but she was still a little cowardly when she really came. She hid in Zuo Lingquan's arms, and said with an aura:

"Yes, it's my business that I make out with a man. What do you mean by always running over to interrupt?"

Shangguan Yutang doesn't want to interrupt, but what can she do? You can't lie on the lotus pedestal for spring.

But Shangguan Yutang won't tell the two of them about this kind of subject to others, just said:

"Where does the deity want to go, I need your consent?"

This is a bit unreasonable.

Zuo Lingquan spread his hands and said, "Senior, I know that you are well-mannered and take good care of me, but you still have to be reasonable in everything. I do this kind of thing with Jingxuan, and there is no place to hinder others. You have always been Come and watch, it’s not very reasonable.”

Tang Jingxun also nodded: "Yes, you are also a daughter's house after all. Don't you feel ashamed when you came to see me making out with a man?"

Shangguan Yutang's expression was indifferent, and he was quietly suspended in the air, with no signs of leaving. His eyes meant something like - I won't leave, what can you do to me?

Zuo Lingquan put his arms around Tang Jingxun, and was stared at by Shangguan's ancestors like a sharp edge on his back. After a stalemate for a while, he could only let go.

But Tang Jingxuan was not convinced. If she gave in today, wouldn't it be like being a widow in the future? She didn't believe that Shangguan Yutang really dared to stare, bit her lower lip, and broke the jar and said:

"You can watch it if you want. Anyway, you are a woman's family, and it is not us who suffer."

Then he hugged Zuo Lingquan's neck again:

"Let's go on, leave her alone."

Zuo Lingquan was stared at by the ancestors, and he was too embarrassed to continue to be light and quiet, but Jingxuan was very active, directly took his hand, and put it on his belly pocket.

Shangguan Yutang's figure was a little illusory, and she was obviously impacted. She frowned slightly, her figure fell, and it merged directly into Tang Jingshen's body.

Tang Jing took a sigh of relief, and then the momentum of the whole person began to rise.

Zuo Lingquan knew what the ancestor of Shangguan was doing, so he hurriedly took his hand from the dumpling and sat up.

Shangguan Yutang quickly took the initiative in his body, stood up, took off his blindfold, and lifted the silk trousers to his waist.

Because Tang Jingshen's figure is plump and plump, the silk pants are a little tight, and they jumped slightly, and the edge of the silk pants slipped over the fatty powder.

This action brings up the bumpy hip waves, which is pleasing to the eye, and the curve is extremely graceful when viewed from the back.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't even look directly at the big white moon, and asked embarrassedly:

"Senior Shangguan, where are you going?"

Shangguan Yutang didn't respond. He put on his skirt and walked out of the room with his embroidered shoes on.

Zuo Lingquan was afraid of an accident, so he could only follow behind. Who would have thought that the ancestor of Shangguan was very good at doing things, so he ran directly outside the main house, pushed open the door of Jiang Yi's room, and ran in and said anxiously:

"Princess, Zuo Lingquan, he... he... ah~ I don't live, I..."

She used Tang Jing's calm tone, and was extremely aggrieved and indignant.

! ! !

Zuo Lingquan was stunned by this move.

There was a frying pan in the main room, and the voices of two women immediately came out:

"Zuo Lingquan! Do you still put me and my aunt in your eyes?!"

"Jingyou don't cry, what did Ling Quan do to you?"

"me……"

The ancestor of Shangguan should have left. Tang Jing stayed in Jiang Yi's house with her clothes uncovered. It was obviously not easy to explain, so she could only follow the words:

"I don't know either, you ask him."

"Zuo Lingquan, what's the matter with you?"

"Lingquan, why did you bully Jingyou like this? Did you kiss her there, cough—Jingyou don't cry..."

"I... ugh..."

The dumpling on the window sill wondered, "Gee?", obviously not understanding the current situation...

------

the next day.

Thousands of streets and hundreds of squares in the capital were wrapped in silver, as if the entire city had turned white overnight.

Outside the palace of the concubine, under the palace wall, men and women walked side by side, leaving two sets of footprints on the thin snow.

The woman's footsteps were a little heavy and she stepped deeper; the man walked with his hands behind his back, his expression still very helpless.

"Be honest, what did you do to Tang Jingxuan last night?"

"Just kissed."

"She had such a big reaction when I kissed her? They all ran to my house to complain. I believe that you forced her. She was submissive to you. When did she have such a reaction?"

"Oh...it's hard to say."

...

Last night, Tang Jingxuan ran to Jiang Yi's house, and she was too embarrassed to come out again. It was not easy to tell Jiang Yi about the shameful thing that Shangguan's ancestors had scolded.

Zuo Lingquan is naturally not good at dismantling the quiet stage, and Jiang Yi probably won't be able to say it. After all, even he can't believe that the dignified Lord Linyuan would do such a crazy thing. He can only take the blame for himself. down.

With a quiet temperament, this hatred will definitely be remembered, and if there is no accident, he will secretly nagging the ancestors of Shangguan for a few months.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't solve this matter, so he could only put it aside for the time being and send Jiang Yi to work first.

The two of them came to the Tianji Hall of the Imperial Concubine's Palace together. There were only palace maids in the hall, and Shangguan Lingye didn't come. Only after asking, did they find out that Shangguan Lingye was in seclusion in the bedroom, not to be disturbed by outsiders.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi could only continue to lead the class and was busy with the errands of the Monster Hunting Division, while Zuo Lingquan took the place of Leng Zhu and helped Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi was already proficient in matters concerning the Demon Hunting Division, but there was not much to say. The only thing worth mentioning was the discussion with the elders of the nine sects, and some solutions were given.

For example, mortals blow up the mountain gate of Xianjia, and later hand them over to the secular yamen, and they will be sentenced lightly according to the rules of destroying other people's property.

According to the principle of "Immortal life is precious" - respecting all life and not abusing animals for pleasure - it is classified as cruelty to animals. It is not considered a demon, but it is not humane, and should be banned.

As for the underground fairies dancing to seek money from the gods, the elders of the nine sects have great disagreements; the conservatives headed by Fulongshan think that it will ruin the atmosphere of the fairy family and propose to ban them; while the new monks headed by the Iron Arrow House think that everyone has seven emotions and six desires. As long as it doesn't harm others, the immortal has no right to be too lenient, and the result of the debate has not yet been reached.

There are many similar solutions, Zuo Lingquan looked at it and felt that it was not easy for the immortals of the nine giants, and he had to worry about everything.

However, it can be understood even if it is so meticulous. The nine sects occupy half of the territory of Yuyaozhou, and the immortals have the supernatural ability to move mountains and seas. If there are no strict rules to control them, they only know that "the strong are respected", and the folk customs are simple and simple. The place will also become a purgatory on earth.

The two were busy until the afternoon. When they were about to get off work, Shangguan Lingye came to the Tianji Temple and said apologetically:

"I was busy with some personal affairs just now, and I didn't have time to come here. It's hard for you."

Jiang Yi felt that Shangguan Lingye was deliberately absent from work and left her all the work; but even if she knew, she couldn't say anything, got up and said:

"You don't need to be so polite. I'm almost done with today's affairs, um... I want to borrow your painting boat to go around the Iron River Valley and return it tomorrow. Is it inconvenient?"

Shangguan Lingye picked up the remaining files on the desk, turned and walked outside:

"I'm about to go there, let's go with you."

Jiang Yi was delighted to see this, hugged the big white cat, and followed Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye weren't very close, but they weren't very familiar either.

Jiang Yi still remembered the chat last night. After coming to the painting boat with Shangguan Lingye, she took the opportunity to ask:

"By the way, the concubine, if the immortal wants to become a Taoist companion, what is the process?"

Shangguan Lingye sat down on the small couch in the cabin, picked up the white cat and petted it, and said with a smile:

"Why do you ask this? Are you going to be a Taoist partner with Zuo Lingquan?"

"Eh... just ask casually, Niangniang should know?"

Shangguan Lingye looked at Zuo Lingquan who was eavesdropping outside:

"Being a daoist is a big deal. According to the rules, they all swear before the ancestors' throne and are witnessed by the ancestors; few people who practice the Tao dare to deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors. This kind of marriage contract is more stable than the world worshipping heaven and earth. many."

Jiang Yi nodded slightly and said again:

"Zuo Lingquan and I haven't officially started yet, what should we do if we don't have our ancestors?"

"Then make an oath in front of the elders, or use heaven and earth as a medium, and the same is true for the loose cultivators outside; but this kind of oath is of little use, and no one can care if you really want to be heartless. If you want to become a Taoist companion with Zuo Lingquan, I will It is recommended to wait for the end of the nine sects and alliances, and you will find the division and talk about it, it will be more solemn."

Jiang Yi hooked the hair beside her ear: "He shouldn't lose heart, let alone me. In fact, it's almost the same everywhere."

Shangguan Lingye shook his head: "This is a kind of inheritance. Immortals become Taoist companions. If there is no witness, even if it is a wild mandarin duck, it will not sound good to say it."

"Oh……"

The two chatted for only a moment, and the painting boat flew over more than 400 miles of mountains and rivers, and came to the periphery of a grand canyon.

Zuo Lingquan stood on the deck and looked up. At the end of the field of vision, he could see an extremely magnificent building, layer upon layer. House' three characters.

The Iron River Valley is just outside the gate of the Iron Arrow Mansion. Black water flows out of the Iron Arrow Mansion. The buildings along the coast are continuous. Thousands of monks are like ants, walking through the canyon. There are also several ferries with different shapes. , from time to time new ships arrive from the periphery.

The painting boat was still a long way from the Iron River Valley, so it descended from the air. Shangguan Lingye said:

"I will send it here. If you go in on my boat, outsiders will think that it is Qing Kui from the Iron Arrow Mansion."

"Thank you senior."

After Zuo Lingquan bowed his hands in a salute, he took Jiang Yi and landed in the woods, walking towards the mouth of the Tiehe Valley in the distance...

-----

The exchange of disciples from the nine sects is considered the closing ceremony of the nine sects' alliance. In fact, the meeting is very long, and it takes a month to discuss before and after.

Shangguan Lingye took the painting boat and came directly to the round building in the center of the Iron River Valley.

The round tower is four stories high, and inside it are the detailed files of the nine sects' covenants, as well as the 'historical materials' of the nine sects since their establishment.

In the middle of the round building is a bluestone square, surrounded by eight statues, and in the center is a huge round table, where nine men and women in different costumes are seated in their respective positions.

Behind the seats of the nine sects are the heads of various forces who can speak, and their status can be distinguished by the front and rear of the seats; there are less than fifty chairs in total, but they represent half of the top forces of Yuyao Continent.

Although Shangguan Lingye was a member of the Iron Arrow Mansion, he had already been dispatched to serve as the chief officer of the Investigation Division.

However, Shangguan Lingye's identity and seniority were too high. As soon as he arrived, many elders in the Iron Arrow Mansion stood up to salute or nodded, and acquaintances from other sects also said hello.

After Shangguan Lingye entered the palace, she seldom had contact with these Daoist friends, but it was not uncommon for her to practice Dao for decades, and if she could sit here, her face would not change too much. Teacup listening.

The Iron Arrow Mansion is the host of the alliance. Shangguan Baye, as the Mansion Master of the Iron Arrow Mansion, sits on the main seat and earnestly discusses the anomalies that have occurred in the past ten years and the direction that needs to be adjusted in the next ten years.

Practitioners all pay attention to pure heart and few desires, and they obviously feel nervous about these heavy and mundane things.

Shangguan Lingye chatted casually with others, and saw an old man with a sword hanging from his waist sitting behind Qiu Fengqing, who was stunned on the terrace. She asked:

"This senior, is Lu Jianxian of Sword Imperial City?"

Old Lu Neng made it to the top thirteen in the middle continent where swords are like clouds, and his reputation must be not small. He used to have the reputation of being the first person under the jade rank. Later, after Jianxin was damaged, he gradually disappeared, and he was with Shangguan Lingye. Not a man of the era.

Lao Lu is sitting here to be a counselor for his old friend Qiu Fengqing. Hearing someone say hello, he said hoarsely:

"I didn't expect Fairy Lingye to know the name of my old bone."

The status of the people present is not very different. Some people speak, and others naturally move their eyes.

A beautiful woman sitting at the round table, turned around and saw Shangguan Lingye, and greeted warmly:

"Girl Lingye, I haven't seen you for many years. I almost don't recognize you anymore."

After Shangguan Lingye nodded slightly and responded with a few words, he looked at Lao Lu again and continued:

"I heard that Lu Jianxian brought three geniuses from the sky from Zhongzhou this time, and the third-ranked 'little unicorn' Qijia alone is already a rare embryo of the sword fairy; Both of them are very curious, can Lu Jianxian reveal one or two?"

Many immortal masters and elders present are very interested in the younger generation leaders, but I do not know how many times I have inquired these days, and Jing Terrace is tight-lipped.

Situ Baye saw his junior sister mentioning this again, and said:

"Jianchen, we've known each other for over a hundred years, and we're not fighting or robbing. It's just your mouth, you need to be so strict?"

Old Lu Hehe smiled: "Young people's affairs, let them decide for themselves, it's not my apprentice, I'm talking about it in advance, it's not in compliance with the rules. If there are no accidents, you can see it in a few days."

Qiu Fengqing was sitting in front of Lao Lu, but he was actually full of question marks.

This time, only one Qi Jia came from Zhongzhou, and there was no one else at all, and I don't know where Lao Lu dug out a pair of 'wolong and young phoenix'.

Qiu Fengqing thought it was a genius from the sky that Lao Lu picked up outside, but as soon as 'Young Feng' appeared, the good guy, with only one person's strength, lowered the average cultivation level of the entire Jing Terrace, 'Barren Mountain and Mountain Root'' Nicknames such as "Barren Mountain Bipolar", you can see how domineering this child is; Qiu Fengqing didn't dare to think about how powerful the "Wolong" would be.

Lao Lu didn't tell him honestly, and Qiu Fengqing couldn't do anything about it. Anyway, he didn't blow the bull out, so he could only wait and see what happened.

Seeing other sects asking again, Qiu Fengqing simply asked:

"The young master of your Iron Head Mansion, 'Shangguan Jiulong', is not hiding it, or you can give some sincerity and reveal the bottom of 'Shangguan Jiulong', and then I will find a way to ask Lao Lu and let him take Wolong's How about the news?"

Situ Baye waved his hand: "I don't even know who Qing Kui was chosen by the ancestors. You will find out in a few days."

"cut--"

There was boos on the field.

Li Chongjin of Yunshui Jiantan is older and in a bad mood, obviously still brooding over what happened yesterday. Hearing a few people talking about "Shangguan Jiulong", Li Chongjin said:

"Shangguan Jiulong and Zhongzhou Wolong, I think they are the proud of the sky at the level of Qingkui, and they are much stronger than the nominal ones like Xu Mo; this is the first time I heard that Qingkui came to participate in the Nine Sect Alliance and was beaten on the way. If I lose my ranking, Yunshui Jiantan will be expelled from the division on the spot if there are such unsatisfactory disciples."

This is to scold Fu Longshan by name.

The person who came from Fulongshan was Xu Yinzhen, the elder of the alchemy tool, and Xu Mo's adoptive father. He learned a few words from Xu Mo's mouth, and at this time he said plainly:

"What is Xu Mo's talent? I know what I have in mind, and I don't care about the momentary gains and losses; if fellow Daoist Li is unconvinced, you can ask your family's Li Chusun to meet Xu Mo in the ring in a few days."

Yunshui Jiantan is the sect of the family, and it is also the only sword cultivation sect of the nine sects in the south. Li Chusun is the direct descendant of the Lord Qingdu, and is known as the 'the younger generation of swordsmen of the nine sects'.

Li Chongjin's goal of bringing the young master over this time is to target the 'Three Heroes of Central Continent' and Jing Terrace, and build the reputation of the 'Number One Sword Sect in the South of the Sky'.

Hearing the battle letter under Fulong Mountain, Li Chongjin said coldly:

"You Fulongshan gang can only draw the nose of a stinky bull at home, and they are also worthy of running to ask me about the sword of Yunshui Jiantan?"

Fulongshan is good at Qimen formation and Five Elements alchemy.

Xu Yinzhen only said to this ridicule:

"I haven't learned the things left by the ancestors, so I started talking about 'Ask Sword', and the rest of Zhongzhou's play, only you, Yunshui Jiantan, can be a treasure."

"My Yunshui Jiantan is the first sword cultivation sect of the nine sects, is there anyone present who disagrees?"

Jing Terrace is a sect of swordsmanship, but he does not take the extreme path of Jianxiu. Seeing that Li Chongjin is so mad, Qiu Fengqing shook his head and said:

"Old Li, what you said is a bit wrong. Among the nine sects, your family is the only one who practice swordsmanship. You say that your family is the last swordsman sect, and we have no one to disagree. But the 'Three Heroes of Central Continent' can Studying on the terrace of my surprise, how can you say that you are half a teacher, are you sure that you can play with the sword in Yunshui Jiantan, and can play the Tianjiao from the Sword Emperor City of Central Continent?"

Lao Lu also answered at this time: "Wolong was born, and none of the younger generations of the nine sects dared to mention the word 'asking sword'. Li Daoyou has indeed said enough."

As soon as these words came out, the bluestone square was silent.

After all, what Lao Lu said was more mad than Li Chongjin, and he directly ignored all the young men who used swords in the nine sects.

But Lao Lu said it lightly and seemed very confident. Many elders present were a little surprised in their hearts, and even Qiu Fengqing was dubious.

Shangguan Lingye knew Zuo Lingquan's level, and seeing how arrogant the people in Zhongzhou were, he said:

"Lu Jianxian, don't talk too much. Although the pride of the sky is rare, there are always a few of the nine sects. Lu Jianxian should not underestimate the young people of my nine sects."

Old Lu really didn't underestimate the Nine Sects, but 'Jian Yi' already represented the pinnacle and invincibility of the same realm, and few people in Central Continent can match him. He shook his head and said:

"It's not that this old man is underestimating. Fairy Lingye may not have seen a real swordsman wizard. When Wolong comes to Tiehe Valley, you will understand."

Both of them have a pair of kings in their hole cards. If they don't show their cards, it must be unclear.

When Shangguan Lingye saw that Lao Lu was so confident, he stopped arguing, nodded and said:

"Then we will see the real trick at hand."

When everyone heard this, they were looking forward to the Jiulong War Wolong in a few days.

Xu Yinyu waited for the two to finish talking, then pulled the topic back and said disdainfully:

"Yunshui Jiantan's self-named 'First Sword Xiu Zongmen', don't be beaten down by the Iron Arrow Mansion, and you haven't even seen the Wolong Mian in the Central Continent."

Li Chongjin is also confident in his young master:

"You are the apprentice of Bishop Qingdu Zun, are you really inferior to the heir of the Sword Emperor City? My young master has already touched the threshold of 'Jian Yi', and how many of the top disciples of the Ten Sword Sovereigns can learn 'Jian Yi'. of?"

Everyone present knew the difficulty of 'Jian Yi', and it was not at all that the master could teach it. Hearing the words, they were surprised. Even Lao Lu looked solemn, but Shangguan Lingye rolled his eyes secretly.

Xu Yinyu continued to mock: "It's worth bragging about touching the threshold? How many people have touched the threshold for a lifetime~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and haven't crossed the last step."

"It's enough to deal with Xu Mo."

The Shang Jianyao of Tiandi City is the descendant of the Lord of the Emperor Zhao, and Tiandi City has a bad relationship with Fulongshan and Dayan. At this time, he naturally started to stir up the flames:

"Hey~ whoever is stronger or weaker, I still have to see the real trick under my hand. I'm afraid that Xu Mo and Daoyou Li's granddaughter will miss the time to play outside."

Li Chongjin got angry when he heard this, but before he could speak, Xu Yinzhen said first:

"My Fulongshan disciple always observes the ceremony, and it's his granddaughter who's messing around with him when he misses the time."

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Li Chongjin was on fire at that time, and he raised his hand and slapped Xu Yinzhen with the palm of his hand.

Then Situ Baye started to make peace, and the others watched the play with teacups.

Shangguan Lingye shrank his neck slightly, feeling that this was a place of right and wrong, and silently got up and left the round tower...
