small rivers and lakes

He lowered his head, slowly wiped the table, and wanted to drink, but found that his wine glass had been broken. He paused for a while, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of duck meat, and caught a glimpse of Zhong Yi from the corner of his eye. .

For some reason, his heart skipped a beat, and the duck meat fell off.

There was a trace of pain in Zhong Yi's eyes, he looked at him fixedly, and after a while, he said in a shy voice: "Heaven reincarnates, good and evil are rewarded, don't worry..."

"Haha..." The old man Qinggu smiled heartlessly, "Why don't you worry about it, you have to obey the old age, it's normal to shake your hands, can't you make me younger?"

Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Who said there will be no such day?"

The old man Qinggu suddenly realized that he had dug a hole for himself, bit his tongue hard, ate the vegetables, and made up his mind not to talk nonsense with this guy anymore.

But there are people who just don't know how to be funny, seeing that the other party doesn't want to talk to him anymore, Zhong Yi smiles more happily, tilts his head and says, "Senior, how about we make a bet?"

The old man Qinggu silently ate a plate of emerald shrimp balls in front of him, pretending he didn't hear anything.

Putting his hands on his face, Zhong Yi grinned and grinned: "Senior, don't ignore me, it's just a small bet, a very, very small bet."

Huh, this prawn ball is light and refreshing. The old man Qinggu pretended that he was a deaf man, and he was also a very gluttonous deaf man.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yi was so vicious that he was so easy to handle. The old man Qinggu was eating happily, and the shrimp balls in front of him disappeared without a plate. His chopsticks froze in the air, and he raised his head angrily, glaring.

"Senior," Zhong Yi put on a smiling face, "Should I bet or not? Bet! Senior won't suffer any disadvantages. Maybe senior will refine my lottery. Even if senior loses, that lottery is still very good." Small, but to add some fun to life."

The old man Qinggu held his forehead, even though he knew that this guy would never make him feel better, he still sighed: "What bet?"

Zhong Yi glanced at the back of Chang Zixuan's brocade clothes and high crown next door, lowered his voice and laughed, "Let's just guess whether the dragon hall master of Xiuchun Hall will die as tragically as Ma Feisha of Chi Yanmen and... Kill the door."

The old man Qinggu couldn't help but looked at him strangely, and frowned: "Ma Feisha died in pursuit of revenge from the remnants of the Devil's Valley. Could it be that the madness of the Dragon Hall Master was also frightened by the remnants of the Devil's Valley? Judging by Gu Mie Ma Fei Shaman's behavior style, how can he just drive Hall Master Long crazy?"

Zhong Yi looked at him with a smile: "So, senior thinks that Hall Master Long must die?"

"No," the old man Qinggu shook his head, "Although Ma Feisha ranks among the top five in the world, the Chiyan sect is just an ordinary sect attached to the Tianxia League, while Xiuchuntang is an authentic descendant of the Tianxia League. I heard this The Hall Master Long is quite valued by your leader, presumably the Tianxia League will never let him die, or even destroy the sect."

Holding the wine glass, Zhong Yi blew on the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers floating on the water, and sneered: "What kind of family will be destroyed, this person has no wife and no children, and a serious man can eat enough for the whole family, so killing one of them is also considered as killing the family? "

"Then how many of them do you want to kill?"

Zhong Yi stared at his own reflection in the wine glass, and said with a smile, "Senior, have you ever heard that it is better to kill someone than to kill one's heart?"

"Oh?"

"In this life, a person can only borrow a skin from the sky to live for a hundred years. Looking at the world, is there anyone who can live forever between the sea and the sky? So what is the difficulty and meaning of being in charge of the life and death of a skin?" Zhong Yi Sneered, "If you want to kill people, you should destroy their beliefs, their attachments, and their minds, so that even though they are alive, they are still dead, and life is better than death, and life and death are impossible."

The old man Qinggu sighed: "There is nothing greater than death."

Zhong Yi laughed out loud, and then changed the topic: "Since senior thinks Tianxiameng can save Long Tianba's life, then if he dies, senior should fulfill one of my demands."

The old man Qinggu couldn't help laughing when he heard the juvenile spirit in his tone: "What request?"

"I want to be honest with my predecessors."

"Huh..." The old man Qinggu dragged his tone, and his eyes, which were incompatible with the old man's appearance, rolled around and stopped on Zhong Yi's chest, asking in a very lewd tone, "Is that what the old man thinks?"

Zhong Yi was taken aback: "What did senior think of?"

The old man Qinggu approached, winked and said: "The jade body is frank, without any scruples."

"..."

"Yeah," the old man Qinggu didn't know what he thought of, his face was dazed, he touched the sloppy beard on his chin, and said intoxicated, "I didn't expect that the old man has not been out of the rivers and lakes for many years, and his charm is not diminished. To tell you the truth, little beauty, I think back when the old man was wandering around the rivers and lakes, his demeanor and demeanor... It can be said that he was riding a horse leaning on a leaning bridge, full of red-sleeve tricks, and Miss Liu from the Golden Fen Building, known as the most beautiful woman in the world, fell in love with me the first time she saw her. Trembling all over..."

"Senior must have eaten enough." Zhong Yi put down his wine glass and said with a gloomy face, "Second brother, pay the bill."

The old man of Qinggu was furious: "What do you mean, boy, I haven't finished eating yet... Hey, wrap up that roast chicken, I'll use it as dinner..."

The two walked out of the restaurant noisily, Zhong Yi's depression gradually dissipated, thinking to himself why am I angry?With Le Wuyou's youthful spirit back then, it was normal for him to get drunk into the flowers, but his sudden anger was really inexplicable.

"My surname is Zhong, I suddenly feel that you are not so handsome," the old man Qinggu accused solemnly, "A man must be gentle and virtuous to be liked, and moody will only make people stay away."

"..." Zhong Yi pursed her lips and gave him a resentful look.

The old man Qinggu covered his eyes and shouted: "Yeah, don't look at me with such small eyes, my heart of stone will melt..."

"Aww..." There was a donkey howl, and "Heartbeat" lolled his tongue and trotted happily over.

"It's still an old lady who is so considerate." Qinggu old man touched the red velvet flower on the donkey's head, turned on the donkey, and said with a smile, "Beauty, how about we get rid of this surname Zhong?"

The donkey shook its head and tail, kicked off its four hooves, and was about to run wildly when a juicy carrot suddenly appeared in front of its eyes, its small eyes curled up in joy, and it bit down happily.

The carrot disappeared from sight.

The donkey's eyes widened suddenly, and two balls of white gas spewed out of its nose: "Aww..."

The old man Qinggu rode upside down on the donkey's back in a leisurely manner. After a long time, he found that the speed was not right. He looked back suspiciously and gasped.

——I saw Jiubao riding a tall horse slowly walking ahead, with a carrot tied to the horse's tail, dangling back and forth with the slight swing of the tail...

The donkey flicks its tongue and follows the steed closely, a picture of virtue that only follows the horse's buttocks, and the halazi flows against the current like a river...

The old man Qinggu was trembling with anger, and shouted: "Little Jiubao! When did you come out!"

"Jiu Bao is my personal attendant, so naturally we are inseparable." Zhong Yi's smiling voice sounded from the side.

The old man Qinggu raised his head and saw a tall figure on horseback, the sun was projecting from behind him, his handsome outline was shrouded in faint light and shadow, and when he saw himself looking up, a wide smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Senior, the sky is high and the clouds are wide today, which is suitable for boating and swimming in the lake," Zhong Yi said with a smile, "Why don't we go to Slender West Lake and enjoy the beauty of water and sky that is so famous all over the world?"

The old man Qinggu stared blankly at the carrot on the pony's tail, with a wooden face: "Is it possible for me to refuse?"

Zhong Yi's smile became brighter and brighter: "Of course not."

The boat lady on the Slender West Lake is coquettish and charming, and the boat is slowly gliding on the lake surface supported by a long pole. In the light and shadow of the bamboo canopy, Zhong Yi and the old man Qinggu sit and have a drink. Looking far away, you can see the blue waves outside the cabin. , The water and the sky are the same color, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

However, the old man Qinggu couldn't be happy. He propped his forehead and said depressedly: "My surname is Zhong, no matter how attractive this old man is, he is already over [-] years old. Your taste is too strong."

Zhong Yi peeled a sugar-fried chestnut and said with a smile, "Is it over sixty? Senior still needs to take off the mask."

The old man Qinggu complained: "You are the master of the Wangyoutang, and you don't do so many official duties, but you chase after the old man all day long, which makes the old man feel flustered..."

"Don't worry senior, I'm not interested in senior's heart or butt."

"Nonsense," the old man Qinggu said to himself, rubbing his chin, "how can you not be interested in such a beautiful old man?"

"..." Zhong Yi looked at his messy hair, old bark-like face and slovenly stubble, felt extremely distressed, looked up and down, and finally stopped on his eyes, only to feel the blue waves outside the cabin , but these eyes are more agile than Bibo, the pupils cut water, and the wind is flowing, as if the lake and mountains are reflected in his eyes.

Heart trembling slightly, Zhong Yi exhaled slowly, lowered her eyes, looked at the round and lovely sugar-fried chestnuts between her fingers, and suddenly answered the question: "I think the most delicious sugar-fried chestnuts in the world are in Jinling."

"Nonsense!" Qing Gu said, "Jinling doesn't produce chestnuts at all!"

"Senior knows Jinling well?"

"Of course!" The old man Qinggu patted his thigh and said proudly, "I think back then, when I was wandering around in the rivers and lakes, I had that demeanor and demeanor...Miss Liu from the Jinfenlou, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world, always shudders when she sees me... Well……"

Zhong Yi rudely stuffed fried chestnuts into his mouth.

The cruise ship rowed into the lake, and the boat lady was bored, she leaned against the cabin door and sang a little song: I felt hot in my intestines and itchy in my heart, obviously someone was talking nonsense.His recent kindness is on others, and if he said it was true, he was afraid it would be a lie, so he tried to guess, frowning and thinking...

The sun was setting to the west, and the afterglow was shining into the cabin. Zhong Yi listened to the little song of the boat lady, and gently tapped the wine glass with bamboo chopsticks...

Old man Qinggu's eyes were drunk and blurred. Looking at the man opposite, he felt that he seemed to be full of joy and sorrow.

The last ray of afterglow disappeared on the lake, and Zhong Yi looked at the old man Qinggu with a smile: "Senior, tell me, will the Xiuchun Hall still be haunted tonight?"

Old Man Qinggu said: "Since it's a ghost, it's natural that it doesn't do human affairs, so how does this old man know if he's here to make trouble or not?"

"To make trouble or not, let's go and see."

Xiuchun Hall is built against the lake, with high-rise buildings and spacious pavilions, and the breeze is gentle.Two black shadows quietly landed on a huge willow tree, and the voices of two maids whispering came from the corridor under the tree.

One person whispered: "Aying, you said... is the hall master really crazy?"

"Could it be fake?" Ah Ying said, "I took a look from a distance in the afternoon, the hall master dropped everything, hacked several servants to death with a knife, and there were blood and flesh all over the ground, so I was so scared that I hurried away Far."

"Oh my God, it's a good thing we're just rough girls and can't enter the inner courtyard door, otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to save our lives."

Ah Ying approached her partner and lowered her voice: "Ah Cha, I heard that the hall master was frightened crazy by a woman in red, and now no one dares to wear red in front of him."

"Oh, red?" Ah Cha yelled, "Then he hacked someone to death, wouldn't the ground be covered in red? Now you're not afraid anymore?"

"Why aren't you afraid?" Ah Ying said, "The ground was covered in blood, so she threw the knife and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying and letting him go!"

The little maid was childish, talking about life and death with a kind of naive cruelty, only to hear Ah Cha giggling and saying: "I really didn't expect the hall master to be so cowardly, I have seen him from afar before, he is so tall, and the knife is so long, I thought I was a great hero, who would have thought that being frightened into a madman by a female ghost."

"You're still a great hero," Ah Ying said narrowly, "Don't you know the origin of our hall master?"

"I heard...it's a fire-headed soldier with a large spoon hahahaha..." The two girls leaned together and laughed.

The old man Qinggu felt a cloud of heat in his ear, turned his head slightly, saw Zhong Yi leaning against his ear, and said with a soft smile: "Long Tianba's background is well known, but he always pretends to be a hero." , isn't it ridiculous?"

"Heroes don't ask about their origins, what's so ridiculous," the old man Qinggu said indifferently, "Long Tianba has made great contributions to your Tianxia League, and his numerous military exploits are naturally worthy of being called a hero."

"Ha ha……"

There was a commotion not far away, and the maid under the tree exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, the hall master's madness has occurred again!"

Before she finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew by her ears. Ah Ying touched her face suspiciously, and looked up at the big willow tree that hadn't moved. She was frightened in her heart and muttered: "It seems that there is no wind..."

The old man Qinggu and Zhong Yi, one behind the other, like two breezes rising from the top of the willow tree, blowing into the brightly lit inner courtyard, and floating on the roof.

I saw a mess in the courtyard, a short and thick man, holding a knife in both hands, slashed at an attendant howling.

"Hall Master Long, take it easy," a chuckle sounded from the messy courtyard, the voice was not high, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, "Could it be that what Le Qishu taught you back then was so messy?" knife technique?"

Long Tianba turned around abruptly and roared, "Who?"

Zhong Yi took out a human skin mask from his bosom, put it on his face, jumped off the roof, and landed in front of Long Tianba, with his green shirt behind his back, and said lightly: "The wind is full of joy, come here Ask for advice."

The old man Qinggu dug his ears and murmured: "Who does he say he is?"
