Where does the winding path go

On the other side, Yao Qingye had finished watching the play, bought a bag full of pills, and was humming a ditty as he was about to go back, but he met two monks who were walking in the direction of Xinghemen. The red and yellow contrasted like flames The jumping monks' uniforms must be the disciples of the Candle Flame Sect. They looked very happy, holding two brocade boxes.

"The two fellow practitioners stopped by, why are you so happy." Yao Qingye jumped out and stopped them.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and walked in peace of mind, but when he stopped him like this, they both froze in the middle of the road.Although he was taken aback by his recklessness, they all said that they would not hit the smiling person with their hands, let alone the smiling person wearing the blue and white monk uniform of Qionghuamen. Then he said: "You know that there is a cinnabar lady in Luoyang City who is very famous for making elixir. I heard that she has been out of business for a long time because of old age and illness, but just now we passed by the cinnabar pavilion, and she started to make and sell elixir again. And reopening is still very cheap, you see, these ones cost less than two taels."

Looking at the bright and colorful pills in the brocade box in his hand, Yao Qingye's eyes were straightened, and he hurriedly asked: "There is such a good thing, where is it?"

Another monk pointed with his hand and said, "In that direction, we will be there after two blocks."

After thanking him, Yao Qingye rushed over.

After a long time, there was a small commotion near some of the busiest markets in Luoyang. A tall and tall young man was walking on the road, keeping his eyes on the road, but he stopped from time to time to ask of street vendors.When he encountered a particularly lively place, he would stop for a while to look around, and if he didn't see the figure he was looking for, he would quickly move away.When he passed by, the young women passing by couldn't help but stop, take a peek, and then walk away with a smile on their faces.

"Excuse me, have you seen a male monk dressed like me? He is so tall and white." Nangong Yi walked all the way, asking all the way. It has been more than three hours since he finished the meeting, and Yao Qingye hasn't come back yet. He decided to go out and look for it by himself, and now he is asking the female shopkeeper of the most famous rouge shop in Luoyang.

The female shopkeeper was just in her age, and although her appearance was only above average, she was better at dressing up, so she looked very charming. She looked at Nangong Yi, covered her mouth with a round fan and smiled, and said: "Little brother, you If you want to ask someone, you need to be more friendly, this one puts on a cold face, people don't want to answer, why don't you just smile and I'll tell you."

Nangong Yi's eyes were not shocked, he just looked at her, and said for a moment: "I am in a hurry to find someone, and I hope the girl can tell me." She still had a cold face.

The female shopkeeper made fun of herself, and said: "Obviously the same dress, the same monk, why is there such a difference? I saw it just now, came to chat with me for a while, bought a box of rouge, but gave it to a beautiful lady as soon as I went out. Now, go in that direction."

After thanking her, Nangongyi followed the direction of her finger and searched for several streets in a row until he found Huadengchushang. There was no news at all, so he was a little worried.Suddenly, he, who has always been keen, sensed an unusual but familiar aura, and he immediately chased in the direction of this aura.

The breath disappeared around a corner, and there was no trace. Nangong Yi stood there looking around, but saw Yao Qingye sitting on the porch of a shop, eating buns.

"Qing Ye, what are you doing here? What time is it?" Nangong Yi frowned and walked over.

"Oh, third brother, you came to see me. I forgot to bring the sound transmission talisman when I went out. Here, let me tell you, this is Zhusha Pavilion, a famous pharmacy in Luoyang." Yao Qingye wiped his mouth and pointed at the man behind him. store.

"And then?" Nangong Yi looked at the closed door.

"It's like this. After Miss Zhusha recovered from her illness, she started selling medicine again, and she sold it very cheaply, but I was late and sold out. Just now a boy told me that if I'm lucky enough today, the new medicine can be sold." Come out, so I wandered around and waited, I have been waiting for more than an hour, when I was hungry, I started to eat steamed buns, there are still some with vegetarian fillings, do you want to eat?" He took out another one from the bag beside him.

Nangongyi pushed away his steamed stuffed bun, looked up at the old signboard of Zhusha Pavilion covered with ashes, and a lantern was lit upstairs, dangling.

The door opened a small crack, a little boy came out, made a bow, and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, our shopkeeper said that the fire is not ready, and the pills can't be produced today. You can only come back in two days."

In the door behind him, there was a hunchbacked man, dressed in ocher red clothes, with a red veil covering his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm really sorry, son, when you come to buy it, I will buy it for you." You keep the best of the bunch."

After apologizing again, the boy stepped aside and closed the door.

"Hey, I'm eating buns and waiting, do you want to do this..." Yao Qingye made a gesture to kick the door, but Nangong Yi grabbed her.

"Okay, Qingye. They are old and young, do you still plan to tear down their shop?" Nangong Yi shook his head at him.

Yao Qingye had no choice but to walk back with Nangongyi dejected.

"Third brother, this place is so remote, how did you find it?" Yao Qingye finished eating the steamed stuffed bun, and tossed the paper bag containing it in his hand for fun.

"At first I thought you were going to some lively place, so I went directly to find you, but later, I followed a strange aura." Nangong Yi frowned slightly.

"Strange breath, is it monster?" Yao Qingye looked at him.

"No, it feels a little familiar, it seems to be... Moxiu." Nangong Yi looked at his toes, trying to remember.

"No way! Ever since the Snake Ancestor Sect was destroyed, I haven't heard any news about the Demon Cultivator for many years, not to mention that such a prosperous place is still under the nose of the Xinghe Sect." Yao Qingye suddenly realized what he said Forbidden, shut up quickly.

"Maybe it's an illusion." Hearing the words 'Snake Zumen', Nangong Yi just frowned.Yao Qingye breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately he did not fall ill.

Yao Qingye ran up to him and walked backwards.

"Third brother, third brother. Don't keep frowning, you will grow old. By the way, what are you going to eat at Fang's family tonight? Why don't you go back to eat? It's annoying because there are so many people. There is a famous restaurant in front of you. Let's eat that." go."

"Okay, listen to you." The figures and voices of the two gradually disappeared on the streets of Luoyang.

Behind them, two faces squeezed together under the paper lanterns on the second floor.

"Sister, look, people from Qionghuamen are here too."

"Ha, the owner of the sect hates the Qionghua sect the most. If they are cruel, they will never return. It's a pity that they lost two handsome faces."

"So what about handsome, Zuo Hufa still hates little white faces, think about the one last time, being caught by Zuo Hufa's claws on the face... Ha!" A pale hand gestured on the girl's face, and the girl blocked it with her hand, and her sleeves Hanging down to reveal a large tattoo on the arm.

"I hate it, I'm scared to death, hahaha..." The girl called back, and the two got into a mess.

Amidst the crisp laughter, an old woman sat with her head tilted by the stove, fanning the fire again and again, her movements were dull and stiff.

After Nangongyi and the two went back at night, when they heard that the sisters of the Fang family were going to meet friends in the east courtyard with music, Yao Qingye immediately disappeared with the piano in his arms. items.

Just now Xia Wanzhuo sent someone to deliver two pills, which were the pills from Zhusha Pavilion that Yao Qingye wanted to buy this afternoon. Nangong Yi opened the brocade box, only to feel the fragrance was tangy and filled the room.

"It's really a good thing, and the brocade box is also beautiful." Nangong Yi closed the lid, and the box was engraved with three large characters of 'Cinnabar Pavilion', vigorous and powerful.

"The words are also good, much better than those on the signboard." Nangong Yi looked at the words carefully, and suddenly felt that something got into his head, and it hurt wherever he went.He covered his forehead, sat on the chair, poured a cup of tea, and downed it in one gulp. "Huh...huh..." He panted heavily, adjusted his breath with luck, and after a while, he finally returned to normal.Nangong Yi drank another cup of tea. This is not the first time he has been like this in these years. No doctor can figure out what happened. He has also used a lot of precious herbs, but the attack time is still irregular. Fortunately, every time The attack time is not long.People from Qionghua Sect only said that he was abused by demon cultivators when he was young, leaving unknown root causes.

"Master Nangong, are you there?" Someone knocked lightly on the door.

"Yes." He opened the door, and saw a man holding a small box and standing outside, it was Fang Ju's disciple Zuo Junyang who closed the door.

"Just now at the piano meeting, Mr. Yao said that you, Master Nangong, are occasionally disturbed by nightmares. My master has high-quality sleeping incense, so he asked me to send some over. If you find it useful, you can continue to pick it up next time. " Zuo Junyang laughed.

Fang Mingzhe?Nangong Yi was full of surprise, this young master of the Fang family was no stranger to him, Fang Ju asked him to meet the guests at the dinner party on the first day, and he really only saw him.It took less than a quarter of an hour to sit down at the dinner party, and they didn't even finish listening to who the guests were. They got into a quarrel with the people around them because of a joke about "going out of the gate and living in a secluded boudoir", and then told Ji that he wanted to go back. While retreating, he told him not to disturb him during this period of time and walked away. Fang Ju was so angry that he cursed "Nizi" on the spot.

Nangong Yi looked at Zuo Junyang, knowing it clearly.

"Thank you so much." Nangongyi took the box calmly. It would be bad if he didn't accept the small gestures from other sects.

Zuo Junyang stood at the door and asked, "Isn't there any poor hospitality in Xinghemen these days?"

Nangong Yi shook his head and said, "Very good."

Zuo Junyang nodded and said: "If there is something inappropriate, you must tell me, or you can tell Zong Wuxuan."

"Mr. Zuo, as the head disciple, must have a very good relationship with Master Fang." Nangong said casually.

I heard that Nangong Yi was cold-hearted, but I didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to find a topic to talk to him. Zuo Junyang was a little surprised, but he still smiled and said: "It's not bad. In the past, Mingzhe and I still Together with Wuxuan and Wuxuan, we live in Baixueyuan, Mingzhe doesn't go out very much, he only knows how to cultivate when he stays at home, so he is a bit withdrawn, in fact, Mingzhe in our family is really good."

Nangong Yi nodded, and asked again: "Can you participate in the siege?"

Zuo Junyang shook his head and said: "Mingzhe said he's not interested, I'll listen to him." He touched the saber on his waist and sighed: "My Leng Yujian, you don't have a chance to go out to meet him again." The world has come."

The two then exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Zuo Junyang did not expect that Nangong Yi was actually quite easy to talk to.

Nangong Yi turned his face slightly, his face was a little pale under the light.

Zuo Junyang said suspiciously: "Young Master Nangong, your complexion is not good."

"Oh...it's nothing." Nangong Yi quickly shook her head.

"It's fine if you don't have one. If you need it, turn right at the Xinghe Gate's pharmacy and walk to the end. Master Nangong, rest quickly, and I'm going back." Zuo Junyang bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Holding the incense sticks, Nangong Yi closed the door, weighing and thinking.

"Fang Mingzhe is lucky. I have someone like Zuo Junyang by my side. Why am I not so lucky?" Nangong Yi shook his head.

Putting the incense sticks on the table, Nangongyi sighed, he dreamed every night, Nangongxuan, the master of Qionghuamen, thought of many ways for him, but none of them worked, only on the full moon night, he could spend a dreamless night.But one thing about the night of the full moon was worse than usual. He couldn't remember whether he had a dream or what it was like in the dream, but every time he woke up, he burst into tears—that was the only time he could cry .

Nangong Yi didn't particularly like to fall asleep with incense, but when he opened the box, a fresh scent of bamboo branches came, which smelled very comfortable. After thinking about it, he lit it anyway. Under the curling green smoke, he fell asleep peacefully. go.But it is still a dream, but the so-called nightmare is actually some unpleasant past events.
