Peach Blossom Button

"Xiao Er, another bowl of noodles!"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

"Add boiled pork slices!"

Hastily added more food, the crazy Taoist buried his head again, and continued to pick up the food in the bowl. He was devouring it, as if he hadn't eaten for several months, rice grains flew in his messy hair, and vegetables were scattered on his tattered Taoist robe. Soup doesn't know it.

Bai Wangyan frowned, staring unkindly at Lou Yueming who was sitting in front of him, eating too much, and then glanced over the piles of dishes in front of him one by one, and finally fell back in front of him. On the surface of the bowl of clear soup with little water, I moved my chopsticks to pick up one, but I didn't eat it.

"A Mo," he turned his head, called the black-clothed swordsman sitting beside him, and casually said, "Don't we still have to find someone?"

Only now did Tao Mo recover from the gorgeous layout of the Imperial City Restaurant, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes." But as soon as he replied, he sensed something was wrong with Bai Wangyan's expression.After getting along for a year, no matter how ignorant of the world, he can still understand Bai Wangyan's words and deeds. He just mentioned this sentence casually, and Tao Mo immediately understood.

Although it's been a long time since I saw this corridor leader, I want to catch up on the past for a while, but since Bai Wangyan doesn't want to get along with him anymore...

"Hey, are you still looking for someone?" The unconscious mad Taoist suddenly raised his head from his rice bowl, and wiped his mouth vigorously with his sleeve, "What a coincidence, we are also here to find someone!"

Bai Wangyan's eyes became colder and colder, but he smiled: "It's really a coincidence, but it's a pity that the two of us have different paths from the corridor leader."

Lou Yueming gave him a blank look, and smiled at Tao Mo: "Brother Tao, you see, we haven't seen each other for a while, and we are looking for someone anyway, why don't we talk a little more before leaving! It's also fate."

"This..." Tao Mo looked at the expectant Lou Yueming with great difficulty, and then at the expressionless Bai Wangyan. He didn't know how to answer for a while, but he knew which was more important. He had no choice but to bow his hands to Lou Yueming, and declined: "We still have something to do, so I won't accompany you for now. It's not too late to talk about the past after the matter is over."

"Oh," Lou Yueming pulled away the messy hair that was in front of her eyes, and said in surprise, "Brother Tao, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your polite words are all set!"

Tao Mo was taken aback, and he glanced at the smiling Bai Wangyan next to him, thinking that he might have been a little "infected", he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and added: "I'm not being polite. .”

"Hehe," Lou Yueming grinned, he put the empty noodle bowl on the table with a "boom", stepped on the bench with one leg, and leaned over halfway: "Since you are not polite, then Can you tell Poor Dao, who is Brother Tao looking for?"

Bai Wangyan saw that he was getting more and more rampant, and his dissatisfaction intensified, but he just squinted his peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile: "A mouse has a body, but a human is rude."

Lou Yueming stared at him with wide eyes: "What are you talking about, you nerd!"

Seeing the crazy Taoist staring at him, Bai Wangyan unhurriedly took out the folding fan at his waist, shook it leisurely, smiled and shook his head: "Shameless, shameless."

"Who are you calling shameless!"

Never seen that mad Taoist gnashing his teeth with such morale, fearing that he would pull out the sword behind his back, Tao Mo hurriedly pulled Bai Wangyan, who was still hurting him, behind him, and waved his hand at Lou Yueming: "Calm down, calm down!" , Alas!" Tao Mo obviously had nothing to do with these two.He had known to some extent before that the two masters, Xuan Linzi and Qin Demon Shang Qiuming, had deep conflicts, and their disciples were also tolerant. It was shouting "Qin Demon" one after another, never thought that this trip to the imperial capital would actually bring these two people together...

Seeing the crazy morale in front of him rolling up his arms and sleeves, Tao Mo shook his head and said helplessly: "To be honest, the two of us came to the imperial capital to find my Uncle Ge..."

"Ge? Ge Baiyou!" Hearing the name, Lou Yueming's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, it's him. Does the corridor chief also know about Master Ge?" Tao Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a little surprise on his face.

After getting an affirmative answer, Lou Yueming quickly brushed off the tattered Taoist robe on his body, took his left foot off the table, clapped his hands and said happily: "This is really a coincidence! My brother and I came to the Imperial Capital to find him! "

Bai Wangyan, who was shaking his fan, just smiled disdainfully. Lou Yueming gave him a fierce look, then turned to Tao Mo and explained, "I want to see Mr. Ge for some private matters. Recently, I heard that Mr. We all went to the Magnolia Spring Banquet, we rushed over from Taiyi Mountain overnight, but this Magnolia Spring Banquet is not attended by ordinary people..." Lou Yueming folded his arms around his chest, and sighed deeply, "It's really difficult... ... We have been looking for Mr. Ge for a whole year, and now we have found some information, maybe we are going to cut off the clue again."

Bai Wangyan cast his gaze from behind the folding fan, and smiled leisurely: "That's natural, the Magnolia Spring Banquet is an annual grand gathering for literati, if there is a metaphor, it is probably the sword tasting meeting that warriors yearn for. It's a pity, a vulgar Baiding like you might not even be able to walk through the door."

"You..." Lou Yueming was worried about how to enter the Magnolia Spring Banquet to find Ge Baiyou, but suddenly he was poked in pain by this scholar, and his teeth itched in anger, but he couldn't talk to him, and in an instant , This hand has already touched the iron hilt behind it.But he thought about it again, he admired Tao Mo, the relationship between this nerd and Tao Mo was extremely unusual, and it would be irreparable if he did it now.The mad Taoist weighed it left and right, and finally let go, but still holding his breath: "Forget it!"

Seeing this madman's morale blushing and thick neck, and not daring to really attack, Bai Wangyan suddenly felt that it was funny. He was not afraid of Lou Yueming's attack. The so-called "have nothing to fear" probably refers to the current situation. Own.Tao Mo saw that Lou Yueming had finally let go of his hand on the hilt of the sword, and he was relieved. He also admired Lou Yueming's martial arts, and he didn't want to become an enemy of this Chongxuan disciple because of such things. , Thinking for a moment, Tao Mo said: "Corridor chief, why do you want to see Master Ge?"

"Oh, to be honest," Lou Yueming replied bluntly, "it was about my uncle. The person was not found, and the sword was lost. There was no clue about the reason for my uncle's departure in Xingyun Sword. It caused a lot of disasters, you were in a hurry at the time, maybe you didn’t know it, after you and Master Shaogu went to seek medical treatment, someone stole the Flowing Water Sword from the Divine Sword Valley..."

"Stolen!" Tao Mo was taken aback, "What's going on?"

Lou Yueming raised her eyebrows: "That day someone forcibly broke into Fengjian Pond, seriously injured the guards, and stole the Flowing Water Sword. It's strange, Master Shaogu should have received the news, but he didn't tell you?"

"No, it coincided with the occurrence of visions in Miaojiang, and the three of us were entangled in strange things," Bai Wangyan said slowly, "And the news over there is blocked, even if someone sends a letter, I'm afraid they won't receive it."

"Ha, that's weird," Lou Yueming suddenly grinned, "Excalibur Valley sent a letter to Lord Shaogu overnight, and he used the snow-capped white falcon he raised since he was a child. You know? It's really strange!"

Bai Wangyan suddenly gave him a sinister look, Lou Yueming was taken aback, suddenly felt a chill behind his back, he couldn't help cursing, "Look at me!" But Bai Wangyan didn't bother him anymore , he just made fun of it, shut his mouth, and turned his head away from looking at the scholar.

"He really didn't tell us about this matter," Tao Mo said after thinking for a while, "It's just that after returning to the Central Plains that day, Qingyun said that something happened in the valley, so he went back first. It turned out that something like this happened. thing……"

"That's right, the Flowing Water Sword is the only clue to find the uncle. Now that the clue is broken, the divination of the master is still unclear, so I have to choose the most 'quack' method, and ask to see Mr. Ge who is so incomprehensible. We searched back and forth for almost a year, and finally found Mr. Ge's whereabouts, if we don't get any more news, I'm afraid... Wuyan will go back to see Master!"

When he said this, he burst into tears, and Tao Mo suddenly couldn't bear it: "This...the corridor leader, this matter is not difficult, I will take you to see Master Ge."

Lou Yueming suddenly jumped up from the table. He held Tao Mo's hand vigorously, and said eagerly, "Brother Tao! Thank you so much! I really, really don't know how to repay you!"

Bai Wangyan stared at the mad Taoist's hands covered in vegetable soup and rice grains and grabbed Tao Mo violently, his brows furrowed, and he asked in a muffled voice, "Will your uncle agree with this madman?"

"Although Master Ge's whereabouts are uncertain, it's not difficult to see someone." Tao Mo sighed, carefully pulled out his hand, and said to the ecstatic Lou Yueming: "Then please ask the corridor chief to take a shower and change clothes for a while." Fan, let’s start again.”

Lou Yueming, who was about to dance around, stopped suddenly when she heard this, looked at Tao Mo in surprise, and pointed to herself: "Me? Shower and change clothes?"

Tao Mo suddenly nodded with embarrassment on his face, he thought for a moment, and then said, "The corridor chief, you..."

"This kind of madness and slovenliness is the appearance of Xuanlinzi's disciples? It's also a first-class spectacle in the Taoist sect!" Bai Wangyan sneered, shaking his fan, "It's really indecent..."

Looking at Bai Wangyan, who was dressed in white, with a straight jade crown, and even extraordinarily handsome, and then looked at the vegetable soup on his tattered Taoist robe, Lou Yueming scratched his messy hair, and cursed: "You nerd, don't you think so?" It hurts people! Isn’t it just a bath and a change of clothes? I’m going right now!”

After coming out of the restaurant, the two made an appointment with the mad Taoist priest, and walked slowly in the market of Huangdu.

Compared with the bustling and noisy coastal city of Yuzhou City, the streets of Huangdu are more orderly. There is an avenue paved with white stone slabs in the middle, and rows of shops are lined up on both sides of this road. There are tall men, carriages surrounded by embroidered curtains, and all kinds of pedestrians wearing silk and satin.Even the shops on both sides are different from ordinary towns. They are all famous shops that Tao Mo is familiar with in the rivers and lakes, such as the Furonglou where the pastry smells fragrant, and the Mengxian Township where a pot of wine smells like a whole lane. The first bank is bustling with banks...

Bustling with banks?

Standing at the gate of the resplendent and resplendent bank, Tao Mo suddenly thought of a person he hadn't seen for a long time.

Bai Wangyan didn't notice Tao Mo's emotion, he was still standing next to the jewelry shop, among a group of women, picking out the earrings and hairpins that they were keen on, while the women next to him who were choosing jewelry couldn't help but stop. When he started, he was flirting with the handsome white-clothed scholar.

"My lord, are you choosing a hairpin for your sweetheart?" the proprietress asked with a smile.

Bai Wangyan glanced at Tao Mo who was still standing in a daze at the gate of the bank, smiled and nodded, "Yes."

While speaking, he had already chosen a hairpin with peach blossoms on the top. After paying the money, he carefully put it away under the jealous eyes of the woman next to him, turned around and walked towards the black-clothed swordsman.
