The top part has been opened up to make a library, which is full of all kinds of books collected by Huayou, everything you need.From governing the country to military affairs, to flowers, birds, wine and tea, wenkeqinqinqi calligraphy and painting, weapons with swords, guns and fans, all have become good things to pass the time besides Qi'ao medicine bath.Seeing Qi Ao so idle, Ao Qi knew that he must have something in his heart, but fortunately he was not in a hurry, he became an idler with Qi Ao every day, and the two of them became more and more fused.
One day, Qi Ao suddenly told Ao Qi that this was the first time the two of them lived in such a peaceful life since they met, and the two began to count the things along the way from the memories of Baiyan Mountain Villa, and found that things really happened. Take another wave.In the end Qi Ao sighed: "I'm afraid I won't have such a comfortable life after leaving Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion." After speaking, he took a look at Ao Qi's face, and when he saw Ao Qi's expressionless face, he stretched out his hand to pinch Ao Qi's face, then smiled and leaned against Ao Qi's chest, and fell asleep again after a while.
Ao Qi supported Qi Ao's shoulder, and through his clothes, he found the exact position of the teeth marks. He rubbed it, his eyes became much darker, but his face remained as usual.
Fortunately, the first thing Qiao did after waking up was to ask Wucheng and Ziye to report the integration of Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion and the Dark Guard.
Sometimes they would go to small villages and towns, and once they happened to go to the market, and there were crowds of people everywhere, so it was very lively.But when I was about to go back at night and passed by a small restaurant, Huayou was molested by a drunkard as a woman. As for the drunkard in the back, he was caught in a dungeon by a mysterious man, and his meridians were cut off under the order of a familiar beauty. Going to shave their hands and feet, and finally being thrown on the street at dawn caused panic in small villages and towns, and Qi Ao's evaluation of "femme fatale" was changed, so I won't go into details.
The winter solstice is approaching, and the weather is getting colder.Fortunately, there are stoves and heaters installed everywhere in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, and all the "snow in the sky" will be pulled down, so staying in the room will not cause cold hands and feet.
Even so, Qi Ao was still dressed a little more than the average person, wrapped in a silver fox cloak, and the white collar made Qi Ao look like a snowman who had appeared in the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion in advance.In the room, everyone was wearing vests, and Qi Ao still had to wear a thin jacket, but it was much more convenient to move around than outside.
One day when Ao Qi came out of the climbing ladder, he saw Qi Ao half leaning on the window sill, holding a piece of paper in his hand.Ao Qi walked over to close the open window in two steps, then pulled Qi Ao to the table and sat down, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the stove in Qi Ao's arms, then sat down and poured himself a cup of hot tea: "You Did something happen when you hurriedly called me back?"
Qi Ao was in high spirits, smiling like a child who finally got his dream doll: "Finally confirmed to contact Gowu, he is already on the way," halfway through speaking, he paused, and the expression appeared on his face again. With a slightly regretful look, "But according to what the emissary saw, Gowu only has one left arm left now, and the cause of the occurrence has not been found yet."
Hearing Qi Ao's last words, Ao Qi was also taken aback for a moment, but in the end he changed back to a relaxed expression like Qi Ao.After all, I have been waiting for a long time, and finally there is a piece of sky that has cleared the thick fog and can see the sun shining down.Just like they had planned long ago, once they got in touch with Gowu, the flower friends also had to start various arrangements and arrangements.Ao Qi took two steps outside, then turned back worryingly and frowned and ordered: "It's colder outside today than the previous two days, don't open the window."
Qi Ao looked into Aoqi's eyes and solemnly nodded and agreed. He kept watching Aoqi walk towards the climbing ladder and heard the sound of the door closing of the climbing ladder. The handwriting is beautiful but unfamiliar: "The clear has become turbid."
The corner of his mouth curled into a playful arc, Qi Ao hugged the stove and walked to the fire, raised his hand, and the fluttering note was licked by the fire and turned into ashes.
The time in the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion passed quickly. Ao Qi still remembered the first time they stepped into the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion. The eyes were full of purple flowers and the sun was still slightly warm. Day of the stove.
This small town has not seen snow for nearly 50 years. It snowed not long after the beginning of winter this year. The snow was not too heavy. The ground and the roof were only covered with a thin layer of white. I know why it is not affected by the severe cold at all, it is still in full bloom, and there is no sign of withering at all, so the sea of flowers in front of the main pavilion has also appeared, such a rare beauty that it has become a piece of lavender and a piece of silver.
The small holes in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion that lead to the ground to get light are usually filled with thin and almost transparent stone slabs, which will not affect the lighting and can be waterproof.This sudden snowfall kept Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion busy for a while, busy checking whether the stone flakes could withstand the amount of snow, busy reinforcing the stone flakes, and busy sweeping out the paths in the sea of flowers.
Huayou stood on the flat seat in plain white, watching the small snowflakes falling from the ceiling of the cave one after another, like soft white fluff under the light, flying up and down and occupying every corner of the cave.He has been standing for most of the morning since early morning, and from a distance it looks like a statue made of ice and snow. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly let out a laughing voice: "This little thing can be considered snow." He straightened his head and walked back to his room without looking back.
At this time, Ao Qi and Qi Ao are going through the long tunnel to meet Go Wu.
The meeting place was set at the small inn where Qi Ao and the others were staying at the time. Walking out of the tunnel in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion was the jewelry shop, and then they walked to the inn. It looked like they were returning to their room after going out for fun.
The snowflakes hadn't had time to cover the footprints of the last time, and the path was a bit muddy.Qiao wrapped the cloak around his body tighter to block the gusts of cold wind. Even so, his hands were still icy cold. Not only did they not warm up any more when they were clasped together, but it also made him shudder uncontrollably. chills.
I was thinking that although my body was better than at Xun Gu Feng, it was still weaker than the beginning, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of me, both hands were grabbed by warm objects, Qi Ao was stunned, Immediately, he realized that it was Aoqi's hand.
Ao Qi stretched his hands into Qi Ao's cloak, grasping Qi Ao's hand and kneading it again and again, when Qi Ao's hand finally got a little bit of his warmth, Ao Qi's face that was darker than the sky would be nice One point: "Are you wearing less clothes?"
Qi Ao and Ao Qi stood facing each other, the distance between them was relatively close, and there was a cloak blocking it, outsiders could not see the movements under the cloak.
Two icy hands were held in the palms of Ao Qi, and the heat continuously spread from the hands to the whole body, dispelling the surrounding cold air. Hearing Ao Qi's question, Qi Ao put on a conciliatory smile skillfully: "Is it still possible to get rid of it?" It’s not the coldest time, so I can’t wear too much, I’m sure whether it’s hot or cold.”
Ao Qi pinched Qi Ao's hand again, making sure that Qi Ao's hand had completely warmed up before letting go, and while helping Qi Ao close the cloak, he said lightly: "Buy a hand stove when you come back."
A brazier had already been lit in the hotel. It seemed that the sudden snow had brought the cold to this small village in advance.The air in the inn has a faint sweet smell of burning wood. Compared with the occasional north wind blowing outside and the small but continuous snowfall outside, the inn is much warmer.
There was a person sitting in the corner of the hotel lobby, although his position was very remote, everyone present couldn't help but look in that direction.
The reason why it attracts people's attention is because of the cold danger signal that that person naturally emits, which is formed after soaking in the head and blood for many years.
However, when people looked at that person carefully, they felt that they must have thought too much.
The man's clothes were inconspicuous gray-black, his hair was messy and not tied up completely, covering his originally handsome face, the sleeve of his right arm was dangling empty, a long and thin The object was wrapped in sackcloth and leaned against the table. There was hot tea and hot soup in front of him, and he was scooping up food with his left hand, looking like a poor homeless man.
The snow outside was still fluttering one after another. Seeing that it was almost noon, more and more people came to the inn.The people here just got up and were about to leave, when a group of newcomers stood at the door, the shopkeeper was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he was happy thinking that the business was booming and he could get more monthly money, so the smile on his face became bigger and bigger happy.
Just as they were seeing off a group of guests, two slender young men came to the gate. One was wearing a dark blue cloak with a bamboo symbol of peace, and the other was a water green embroidered with bead patterns. In order to resist the cold wind, they With their heads lowered and hoods on, it was impossible to see their faces clearly.
The man in the dark blue cloak first helped the other take off the cloak and put it on his arm, and then handed the cloak back after the other had finished tidying up his clothes, and asked the other to unbutton the cloak for him.It wasn't until the two put down their hats and took off their cloaks that everyone saw that they were two identical and very beautiful faces. After carefully looking at their clothes, they found that although the color of their robes was plain, the faint brilliance on the clothes showed that In addition to the luxury of the fabric, the two jade pendants on the waist, one dragon and one phoenix, are also moist and translucent.
It is rare to see such a good-looking person in this small village.
Last time Qi Ao and Ao Qi only stayed in the hotel, and Ning Ziyun did most of the errands, so no one in the town had seen them.
The waiter in the shop has always been impressed by their outstanding appearance. Even though it has been many days, he still recognized them at a glance. He was a little surprised when he saw them, and then greeted them very warmly into the shop: "Two guests, inside Please! I haven't seen you two for a while, where are you busy?"
The shop waiter bent his waist and bowed his body. He stood in front of them and leaned over to say the latter sentence, so his voice was not very loud.
Qi Ao and Ao Qi looked around the lobby for a week, and then Qi Ao smiled gently and put out the prepared remarks: "I went around that day and accidentally walked into the nearby woods. I went out to find a place to change my clothes. The forest is so lush."
These words really frightened the waiter in the shop. He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide, and took a deep breath: "The guest officer went to the forest of death? Oh, the guest officer is really lucky, and he can come out alive from there." Having said that, the body is still a little scared and moved away.
Qi Ao just pretended he didn't see it, and said, "Go and greet others, we have friends here" and sent the frightened Xiaoer away from the shop.
☆, Dharma protector
The Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion is located under the forest of desperation mentioned by Xiaoer Dian.
Originally, this was just an ordinary forest. In order to prevent the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion from being discovered, Huayou asked people to put many poisonous insects and beasts in the forest, and some people in the pavilion often patrolled. As a result, the name "Forest of Desperation" gradually came into being.The tiankeng where the main pavilion is located is almost in the deepest part of the forest, surrounded by tall and dense trees. Unless you look down from the sky, no one would think that there is another luxurious world under this forest.
Ao Qi and Qi Ao attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the door. Under the gaze of everyone, Ao Qi and Qi Ao walked to the gray corner, then sat down, greeted the "tramp" familiarly, and the three said After a few words, the homeless man nodded, took the package and the three got up and walked upstairs together.
The silent onlookers watched them go up the stairs before turning their eyes away.
Gewu opened the door of his room, turned sideways to let Aoqi and the others go in first, and closed the door behind himself at the end, then called them to sit down and poured tea for them.
After taking a sip of tea, Ao Qi put down the teacup, and asked with a serious expression: "Now you can tell me what happened to your hand."
Gowu's bright smile that he was trying to hold back became dimmed. He sat hesitantly on the stool for a while and was silent for a while. Tell you the matter, and you can leave. But before that, I want to remind you that the leader has definitely started to arrange new plans and arrangements."
Seeing that Gowu was in a decadent state like never before, Qi Ao quickly patted his left shoulder, his eyes filled with worry and concern: "We don't want to hear about those things now, tell us about your hands first. .”
Seeing that Ge Wu really couldn't hold back the two of them, he had no choice but to tell Ao Qi and Qi Ao exactly what happened after he was recalled by the Demon Sect.
"In the beginning, I came to monitor the elder brother in the name of the leader," Gou said, and glanced at Aoqi, "but then the elder brother asked me to go to the second elder brother. I think the second brother saw me so trustingly Me, entrusting such an important matter to me, if I betray my brother again, it will be done by a beast. After that, I haven’t told the leader about the actions of my brother. Prevarication of important information. Once or twice is okay, but if it is too much, something is wrong, so that day the demon sect sent a first-level signal and called me back.
"After I went back, I told the leader that I didn't want to continue to monitor my elder brother, but this kind of behavior was extremely inconsistent with the status of the right protector of the Devil's Sect. If I were still the right protector of the Devil's Sect, I must obey his orders. The leader saw that I was in a dilemma and sent I was imprisoned in the water prison and forced me to choose between the two, but it happened during that time that I figured it out, whether it is the white way, the black way or the decent demon religion, whichever side you choose will have a time when you can't help yourself, it's better From the beginning, follow the person in your heart who is willing to follow and give loyalty.
"Big brother and second brother, you didn't doubt me because of my identity, you didn't have prejudice against me like other decent martial arts people, and you even entrusted yourself to me to take care of you when you were in danger, regardless of the confrontation of identity. I Suddenly I feel that those who pay attention to the struggle between good and evil behave too petty. You have such a mind and such a magnanimity that a martial arts person should have.
"So I explained my choice to the leader. The leader...he didn't force it. He just said that I, as the leader's right and left hand protector, wanted me to pay him a right arm. But it's okay, just use one arm to replace me. Freedom. The leader wants me to swear that once I leave the Demon Cult, I will never have anything to do with the Demon Cult for the rest of my life.
"I'm half a useless person now," Gowu smiled bitterly and looked at his left hand. "I can't even eat, dress, and tie my hair well. I don't know if there will be a day when I can pick up the silver-tipped jade fishing rod again. The leader took me After being driven out, as long as I have been in contact with the plans and arrangements, they will definitely be rearranged, and I'm afraid I really... can't help much."
Afterwards, Ge Wu didn't say anything anymore, and the once high-spirited Demon Sect's right guardian lowered his head, looking a little hesitant and confused.
At that time, he chose to leave the Demon Sect rashly, but he didn't think about whether Aoqi was willing to accept him. After receiving the news from Aoqi, he rushed here overnight, and only then remembered his current situation. Aoqi and the others probably didn't know about it. .He knows that Aoqi and the others are the ones who are going to do great things, and that he used to be able to contribute to fight side by side when Aoqi and the others needed it, but now...
Thinking of this, Gowu felt even more desolate in his heart.He made a bet for himself, betting that he made the right choice for the first time in his life, betting that he did not entrust his fate to the wrong person in this adventure.
Ao Qi and Qi Ao glanced at each other, and both saw indescribably complicated expressions on each other's faces.They didn't expect Aoqi to subdue Gewu with the so-called "heroes cherish heroes" loyalty, even in exchange for such a devoted follower.Of course, they don't know that this is actually the role of the protagonist's halo above their heads.
Then Qiao stood up and gave Gewu a hug, and so did Aoqi.
A thousand words are contained in this one hug.
Ge Wu's face regained its light, and what returned to Ao Qi and Qi Ao was his bright and sunny smile, but this time he smiled and suddenly cried.Therefore, I did not see Ao Qi and Qi Ao exchanging a happy look hidden under the sadness and care.
After Ge Wu calmed down, Qi Ao told Ge Wu of their decision: "Come back to Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion with us."
Gewu thought that Aoqi and the others would make new progress during the period of time away, but never expected that they would be associated with Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, and judging by Qi Ao's appearance, this is definitely not from Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion small branch.Curious about the legendary Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, Ge Wu, who decided to follow Ao Qi and Qi Ao, naturally agreed to Qi Ao's decision.
After bringing Ge Wu to the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, Ao Qi and Qi Ao went to do other things. When Hua You heard that Ao Qi and the others had brought back a person, they rushed to see him. At first, they were a little contemptuous when they saw that it was a one-armed man. , Looking at his weapon expression later, he became slightly surprised.
"Are you Gou, the Right Protector of the Devil's Sect?" But Huayou's surprised expression only flashed across his face, and then changed back to his arrogant and glamorous image.
Ge Wu had already calmed down his emotions, facing the doubts of the flower friends, he smiled indifferently: "It used to be, but it's not anymore."
Huayou shifted his gaze to his broken right arm: "Your arm is broken, so you won't be able to use this silver-tipped jade fishing rod," Huayou shook his head before Gewu said anything, "What a pity. "
When they came over on the way, Aoqi and the others told Gewu about the disposition of Huayou in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion. Gewu had never seen any strange people in the Devil's Sect, so he didn't respond much to Huayou's provocative words.
Huayou frowned impatiently, he took two steps on the spot, raised his voice and continued, "That's right, without this silver-tipped jade fishing rod, the Devil's Sect's right guardian is naturally not a right guardian." .”
Huayou waited for a while and saw that Ge Wu didn't pay attention to him at all. He was only holding a silver-tipped jade fishing rod in his left hand and gestured strangely. He glared at Ge Wu angrily, and left with a "huh".
Huayou has been busy helping Aoqi and the others to investigate the information of "Thousand Faces" recently, and only found out one piece of news that he had disappeared in the Jianghu. He was so angry that he wanted to ask for credit in front of Aoqi and Qiao , flew into a rage in front of several leaders of the "Ear", and almost smashed the information department with a black face, and then doubled the number of people to continue investigating the traces of Qianmianshen.Fortunately, when Huayou and Qiao talked about this matter later, Qiao mentioned, "Isn't Qianmianshen still has two disciples?" This awakened Huayou and spread the net even more.
By the time of dinner, Ge Wu had rested all afternoon. Before dinner, he specially burned incense and took a bath, changed his messy clothes, and had his hair tied up by the maid, so that he returned to his original state of majesty and heroism.
At the dinner table, the flower friend glanced at Gou and said, "What a skinny guy." I don't know whether it is a compliment or a derogation, but such a flower friend does not differ from his normal eccentric attitude and unpredictable behavior.
The flower friend in front of Aoqi and the others was the real exception. At that time, everyone in the pavilion was really frightened. If it weren't for the rules of Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, and the flower friend faced other subordinates as usual, I'm afraid he It has long become the talk of his subordinates after dinner.
I have something to talk about after dinner, the gathering of three people some time ago turned into four people this time.Huayou said "I'm really tired" and lay on the bed sideways, holding the teacup and scraping the foam on the tea in the cup, his eyes seemed to be closed but not closed.In fact, both ears fully listened to what the three people around Aoqi said.
Although Gowu has already left the Devil's Cult, but that is the place where he once worked his life after all, and with the poisonous oath before leaving, he can't tell the whole story, he can only guarantee that Qiao will ask him a question, and he will say something. All are the truth.On the other hand, even though Gowu is the right protector of the Demon Sect, the leader will still be wary of him. He can only know what his own part is going to do in many things, and he doesn't even know much about many things, let alone Said that there are some secrets that only the leader knows.
After chatting like this for less than half an hour, Qi'ao finally asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "Is there anyone in the church who knows how to disguise and shrink bones?"
Gowu fell into deep thought, and shook his head after a while: "No one in the teaching knows these two kinds of skills." There are not many people practicing all kinds of strange martial arts in the teaching, but everyone will choose those who can see people's blood. The kung fu of human life, no one really appreciates this kind of playful martial art.
As soon as Ge Wu finished speaking, he saw Ao Qi and Qi Ao's expressions froze. He was feeling strange and wanted to ask Qi Ao what happened, when there was a bang in his ear, and he turned his head to see that it was Huayou who smashed the teacup to the ground. On the armrest beside him, he rolled over and sat up.
The flower friend who smashed the teacup didn't move any further. His face changed several times before slowly returning to its original appearance. He smoothed the creases on his sleeves.
"It's time for them to speed up the progress." Huayou stood up and strode towards the climbing ladder while talking. Facing the wind, he stepped forward step by step, and the wind blew his wide sleeves and long back hem, and the silk-colored robe rolled up in the wind, which looked like dancing flames against the remaining swaying candlelight.
☆, thousands of faces
One person hurriedly walked through the gallery, walked out of the strange-shaped rockery, and stepped on the snow-covered 81-step stone ladder, step by step to the top of the mountain.On the top of the mountain, the cold wind whizzes past, and the sky, the earth, the clouds and the mountains are all white in the distance, and the branches are covered with frost.
The man lowered his head and knelt on one knee and printed the envelope in white characters on a black background, and a pattern of crow-blue treasures appeared in his sight.With a light hand, he heard the person in front of him ask, "Is the news reliable?"
"Reliable," he said with absolute certainty.
"Okay, let him go over there." The person in front of him turned his back after saying this, "He can act after passing the order."
He didn't even dare to lift his head, and hurriedly retreated after receiving the order.
In front of my eyes is the vast sky, mountains and fields, and the wind blows, frost and snow blows, and the world is covered with a white curtain.Holding the envelope between his lips, he concealed the insidiousness and anticipation in his smile: "We are finally meeting." This vague sentence just spit out from between his lips, and was quickly blown away by the cold wind.
The snow has stopped for the past two days, and the sun has finally revealed half of its face from the clouds. It flows into the creek, carrying a few pieces of small snow cubes and moving forward happily.
When the flower friend turned to his eyes, Qi'ao hadn't had time to see clearly whether it was a spring flower with pink and green leaves or a person, that bright spring came to him in an instant.
Ao Qi, Qi Ao, and Ge Wu were studying the matter, and they suddenly broke in and turned into such a big living person. They were really shocked, but Ao Qi and Qi Ao were used to it, so they reacted quickly, but it was Ge Wu She was so frightened that she opened her mouth wide, her eyes nearly popped out, watching Huayou talking and falling on Ao Qi and Qi Ao, putting her shoulders on her shoulders and tugging on her sleeves.
"You guys are so bad, you don't even ask me to discuss things." Huayou pretended to be charming and pouted, and standing behind Aoqi, his hands slid from Aoqi's shoulders to his chest, but his eyes were looking at Qi profound.
Ao Qi sat there with a calm expression and took a sip of tea naturally before speaking: "How's the investigation of the 'Qian Mian Shen' matter? You are not needed here."
Huayou laughed when he heard Aoqi's words, and the laughter felt crisp and numb in his heart, Ge Wu hurriedly withdrew his attention and held his breath, and then heard the Huayou continue to say: "I don't have any information on Qianmian's body here, But..." While talking, he stretched out his palm to admire it over and over in front of his own eyes, with a small expression on his face waiting for someone's compliment, "I found one of his two apprentices, Qian Mian."
"Flower friend," Qi'ao beckoned to Huayou, and Huayou limply floated from Aoqi's back to Qi'ao's side, "How many days until we see each other?"
Seeing that Qi Ao let him play with his sleeves, he knew that Qi Ao was quite satisfied with what he had done, and he was also happy, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "The soonest it will be tomorrow morning and the day after tomorrow at the latest. I met someone, Qiao, when will you accompany me to the competition?" After being mentioned by Qiao once, Huayou stopped saying those weird and ambiguous words, but his seductive tone really couldn't be changed. Qi Ao no longer insisted.
As soon as Huayou finished speaking, Aoqi stood up from the chair, took Qi'ao's hand and walked towards the ladder: "It's time for the medicine bath, we should go."
Qi Ao asked Ao Qi to pull him, turned around and waved back, and pointed out a way for Hua You to play for more than ten days: "Hua You, Ge Wu has been practicing using his left hand to make his silver tip. Jade Fishing Rod, you can let him practice with you, it will also be helpful to him."
Huayou looked at the figures of Aoqi and Qiao walking away with some discouragement, until the door of the climbing ladder was closed before shifting his gaze to Gowu who was beside him with the old god.
With one hand resting on his chest and the other propping his chin, Huayou looked at Gowu seriously from head to toe in a study-like manner, then reached out and took the silver-tipped jade fishing rod beside him and weighed it in his hand, feeling very suspicious He sarcastically said: "Just you, is it enough for me to play?"
Gewu turned his head to meet Huayou's eyes, smiled modestly at him, and then suddenly stretched out his left hand.
Hua You just felt that his hands were empty in the blink of an eye, but Ge Wu moved so fast that he took the fishing rod back from his hand before he had time to react, and this was the first time the two of them met. It's just that the interval is less than [-] days.
Huayou knew that Ge Wu had a heart-to-heart talk with Qi Ao, and also knew that Ge Wu now stayed in his room and practiced his left hand until late at night except when Ao Qi and Qi Ao needed him, but he didn't expect Ge Wu at all. The ability to learn and adapt is so powerful. His use of the left hand has completely escaped the stage of unfamiliar practice. Not only can he eat and dress himself in an orderly manner, even his weapon seems to wake up from a lethargy in his hands. It's normal, and it's starting to have some original appearance, which is very different from the strangeness that stays in the memory of flower friends.
Huayou put his hand back on his chin, stroked his chin and showed Gou a playful and interested smile: "He is indeed an interesting person."
Gewu nodded slightly towards Huayou, and returned him with a calm smile.
The matter arranged by Huayou was indeed done very quickly. On the morning of the second day, I got the news that the person had been invited and could arrange a meeting immediately.
Inside the tea house, Ao Qi and Qi Ao are playing chess, each holding a cup of tea and several dried fruits.
Although the playing styles of the two seem completely different, they are both people who can think of the next ten moves in the next step, and they are too familiar with each other to guess the next move easily, so they played the first two games all morning. It was all a draw, and they took the trouble to start the third game.
Qi Ao looked at the door while waiting for Ao Qi to come down, but there was still no movement.He threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and pointed at an empty space on the chessboard with his fingertips: "If you play here, there will be three more pieces in your hand."
Ao Qi placed the black stones where Qi Ao was pointing, this time the game didn't last long, the winner was soon decided, Qi Ao didn't lose too badly, no more, no less, just got three pieces.
"Okay, okay, I owe you once." Even though he lost, Qi'ao's words were not at all familiar and depressed, but there was a smile on the contrary.For Qi Ao's childish mischievous behavior in front of him occasionally, Ao Qi just finds it funny, anyway, if he wins, he will naturally have a prize, so there is nothing wrong with him.
As soon as Qi Ao's voice fell, he heard the outer door being pushed open, and a person walked in cautiously, trying not to make any noise when touching the door, he probably only walked in a few steps and didn't continue to move forward. After a while, I heard his reserved and frightened voice: "Who invited me here?" It must have been the observation of the room during the silence just now.
Qi Ao restrained the wanton expression on his face, picked up the folding fan at the side and unfolded it, and then showed his good show on his face: "Then I'll go out."
Ao Qi was packing up the chess pieces, when he heard Qi Ao's words, he stopped his movements, raised his head, shifted his gaze to Qi Ao, nodded, and waited for Qi Ao to go out before continuing what he was doing, but his ears kept paying attention to the movement outside .
After coming out of the dark pavilion, Qi Ao closed the door. The door fit the wall perfectly. If you don't look carefully, you can't see that there is a door on this wall.He walked a few more steps outside, stopped at the spot and listened carefully, Qi'ao felt a little funny when he heard that the person in the hall was a little uncomfortable.
Shen Qingyi was originally threatened to come here, but he didn't show up to greet him before the meeting, and he made it clear that he wanted to give him a "dismissal". This series of things made him very angry, and he thought about it later No matter what the visitor asked, he would always say that he didn't know, and he was not going to give that person a good look.
Just as the person thought about it more and more, he felt insulted and angrier, when a voice as clear as green bamboo after rain came from behind the screen.
"Thank you Mr. Shen for waiting for a long time, people from the Dugu family in Xiaqianyue Villa."
Before the words fell, a person walked out from behind the orchid screen holding a folding fan.
He was dressed in a moon-white plain soft satin brocade robe, which set off his eyes like lacquer and his eyebrows like ink paintings. What's more, the carefree and romantic look between his brows added a lot of brilliance to him. Shen Qingyi has painted this person many times before. The man with multiple faces couldn't help but let out an admiration, he put on a decent smile and bowed respectfully to Shen Qingyi who had only been waiting in the room for a while, making Shen Qingyi look straight at him for a moment, until Qi Ao held his mouth After laughing and calling Shen Qingyi's name a few times, Shen Qingyi came back to his senses, and while pretending to return the gift, he took a few sneaky glances at Qi Ao, but Qi Ao Quan pretended not to see it.
When Shen Qingyi lost his mind, Qi Ao had already seen clearly who the only second apprentice "Thousand Faces" Shen Qingyi was.
Shen Qingyi is of medium build and is dressed in civilian clothes. He has a peaceful expression. He has a very ordinary face, the kind that can't be found in the crowd, but it is precisely this kind of appearance that is most suitable for learning disguise, like For a special skill like disguise technique, which is mainly on the face, the less outstanding the original foundation, the easier it is to shape it.If you insist on saying something, it is that Shen Qingyi looks quite elegant, but this elegance always has a faint sour and smelly feeling, and the brows are full of vicissitudes and exhaustion that cannot be concealed, and all the hustle and bustle Wuwei is like an ordinary man who lives a hard life. The burden and time on his shoulders have killed his years and his passion.
After some polite greetings, Qi Ao asked Shen Qingyi to sit down, and then sat himself in the chair opposite him, shaking his folding fan lightly and smiling at Yan Yan: "I've heard the name of 'Thousand Faces' Shen Qingyi for a long time, and today I can meet you, I am very honored." With a simple sentence, it was said that forcing someone was inviting someone, and immediately promoted the other party several steps.
However, after hearing Qi'ao's words, Shen Qingyi didn't show such expressions as joy and pride, and even showed a trace of struggle and depression, all of which fell into Qi'ao's eyes.
Judging from the news that Huayou told them, this Shen Qingyi, who inherited his master's disguise technique and should have taken a place in the Jianghu Famous Records, did not choose to enter the Jianghu to achieve a career after he was graduated from the teacher. She married a woman from an ordinary family, and gave birth to a child in the second year, leading a peaceful and peaceful life of ordinary people.
One day, Qi Ao suddenly told Ao Qi that this was the first time the two of them lived in such a peaceful life since they met, and the two began to count the things along the way from the memories of Baiyan Mountain Villa, and found that things really happened. Take another wave.In the end Qi Ao sighed: "I'm afraid I won't have such a comfortable life after leaving Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion." After speaking, he took a look at Ao Qi's face, and when he saw Ao Qi's expressionless face, he stretched out his hand to pinch Ao Qi's face, then smiled and leaned against Ao Qi's chest, and fell asleep again after a while.
Ao Qi supported Qi Ao's shoulder, and through his clothes, he found the exact position of the teeth marks. He rubbed it, his eyes became much darker, but his face remained as usual.
Fortunately, the first thing Qiao did after waking up was to ask Wucheng and Ziye to report the integration of Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion and the Dark Guard.
Sometimes they would go to small villages and towns, and once they happened to go to the market, and there were crowds of people everywhere, so it was very lively.But when I was about to go back at night and passed by a small restaurant, Huayou was molested by a drunkard as a woman. As for the drunkard in the back, he was caught in a dungeon by a mysterious man, and his meridians were cut off under the order of a familiar beauty. Going to shave their hands and feet, and finally being thrown on the street at dawn caused panic in small villages and towns, and Qi Ao's evaluation of "femme fatale" was changed, so I won't go into details.
The winter solstice is approaching, and the weather is getting colder.Fortunately, there are stoves and heaters installed everywhere in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, and all the "snow in the sky" will be pulled down, so staying in the room will not cause cold hands and feet.
Even so, Qi Ao was still dressed a little more than the average person, wrapped in a silver fox cloak, and the white collar made Qi Ao look like a snowman who had appeared in the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion in advance.In the room, everyone was wearing vests, and Qi Ao still had to wear a thin jacket, but it was much more convenient to move around than outside.
One day when Ao Qi came out of the climbing ladder, he saw Qi Ao half leaning on the window sill, holding a piece of paper in his hand.Ao Qi walked over to close the open window in two steps, then pulled Qi Ao to the table and sat down, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the stove in Qi Ao's arms, then sat down and poured himself a cup of hot tea: "You Did something happen when you hurriedly called me back?"
Qi Ao was in high spirits, smiling like a child who finally got his dream doll: "Finally confirmed to contact Gowu, he is already on the way," halfway through speaking, he paused, and the expression appeared on his face again. With a slightly regretful look, "But according to what the emissary saw, Gowu only has one left arm left now, and the cause of the occurrence has not been found yet."
Hearing Qi Ao's last words, Ao Qi was also taken aback for a moment, but in the end he changed back to a relaxed expression like Qi Ao.After all, I have been waiting for a long time, and finally there is a piece of sky that has cleared the thick fog and can see the sun shining down.Just like they had planned long ago, once they got in touch with Gowu, the flower friends also had to start various arrangements and arrangements.Ao Qi took two steps outside, then turned back worryingly and frowned and ordered: "It's colder outside today than the previous two days, don't open the window."
Qi Ao looked into Aoqi's eyes and solemnly nodded and agreed. He kept watching Aoqi walk towards the climbing ladder and heard the sound of the door closing of the climbing ladder. The handwriting is beautiful but unfamiliar: "The clear has become turbid."
The corner of his mouth curled into a playful arc, Qi Ao hugged the stove and walked to the fire, raised his hand, and the fluttering note was licked by the fire and turned into ashes.
The time in the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion passed quickly. Ao Qi still remembered the first time they stepped into the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion. The eyes were full of purple flowers and the sun was still slightly warm. Day of the stove.
This small town has not seen snow for nearly 50 years. It snowed not long after the beginning of winter this year. The snow was not too heavy. The ground and the roof were only covered with a thin layer of white. I know why it is not affected by the severe cold at all, it is still in full bloom, and there is no sign of withering at all, so the sea of flowers in front of the main pavilion has also appeared, such a rare beauty that it has become a piece of lavender and a piece of silver.
The small holes in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion that lead to the ground to get light are usually filled with thin and almost transparent stone slabs, which will not affect the lighting and can be waterproof.This sudden snowfall kept Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion busy for a while, busy checking whether the stone flakes could withstand the amount of snow, busy reinforcing the stone flakes, and busy sweeping out the paths in the sea of flowers.
Huayou stood on the flat seat in plain white, watching the small snowflakes falling from the ceiling of the cave one after another, like soft white fluff under the light, flying up and down and occupying every corner of the cave.He has been standing for most of the morning since early morning, and from a distance it looks like a statue made of ice and snow. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly let out a laughing voice: "This little thing can be considered snow." He straightened his head and walked back to his room without looking back.
At this time, Ao Qi and Qi Ao are going through the long tunnel to meet Go Wu.
The meeting place was set at the small inn where Qi Ao and the others were staying at the time. Walking out of the tunnel in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion was the jewelry shop, and then they walked to the inn. It looked like they were returning to their room after going out for fun.
The snowflakes hadn't had time to cover the footprints of the last time, and the path was a bit muddy.Qiao wrapped the cloak around his body tighter to block the gusts of cold wind. Even so, his hands were still icy cold. Not only did they not warm up any more when they were clasped together, but it also made him shudder uncontrollably. chills.
I was thinking that although my body was better than at Xun Gu Feng, it was still weaker than the beginning, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of me, both hands were grabbed by warm objects, Qi Ao was stunned, Immediately, he realized that it was Aoqi's hand.
Ao Qi stretched his hands into Qi Ao's cloak, grasping Qi Ao's hand and kneading it again and again, when Qi Ao's hand finally got a little bit of his warmth, Ao Qi's face that was darker than the sky would be nice One point: "Are you wearing less clothes?"
Qi Ao and Ao Qi stood facing each other, the distance between them was relatively close, and there was a cloak blocking it, outsiders could not see the movements under the cloak.
Two icy hands were held in the palms of Ao Qi, and the heat continuously spread from the hands to the whole body, dispelling the surrounding cold air. Hearing Ao Qi's question, Qi Ao put on a conciliatory smile skillfully: "Is it still possible to get rid of it?" It’s not the coldest time, so I can’t wear too much, I’m sure whether it’s hot or cold.”
Ao Qi pinched Qi Ao's hand again, making sure that Qi Ao's hand had completely warmed up before letting go, and while helping Qi Ao close the cloak, he said lightly: "Buy a hand stove when you come back."
A brazier had already been lit in the hotel. It seemed that the sudden snow had brought the cold to this small village in advance.The air in the inn has a faint sweet smell of burning wood. Compared with the occasional north wind blowing outside and the small but continuous snowfall outside, the inn is much warmer.
There was a person sitting in the corner of the hotel lobby, although his position was very remote, everyone present couldn't help but look in that direction.
The reason why it attracts people's attention is because of the cold danger signal that that person naturally emits, which is formed after soaking in the head and blood for many years.
However, when people looked at that person carefully, they felt that they must have thought too much.
The man's clothes were inconspicuous gray-black, his hair was messy and not tied up completely, covering his originally handsome face, the sleeve of his right arm was dangling empty, a long and thin The object was wrapped in sackcloth and leaned against the table. There was hot tea and hot soup in front of him, and he was scooping up food with his left hand, looking like a poor homeless man.
The snow outside was still fluttering one after another. Seeing that it was almost noon, more and more people came to the inn.The people here just got up and were about to leave, when a group of newcomers stood at the door, the shopkeeper was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he was happy thinking that the business was booming and he could get more monthly money, so the smile on his face became bigger and bigger happy.
Just as they were seeing off a group of guests, two slender young men came to the gate. One was wearing a dark blue cloak with a bamboo symbol of peace, and the other was a water green embroidered with bead patterns. In order to resist the cold wind, they With their heads lowered and hoods on, it was impossible to see their faces clearly.
The man in the dark blue cloak first helped the other take off the cloak and put it on his arm, and then handed the cloak back after the other had finished tidying up his clothes, and asked the other to unbutton the cloak for him.It wasn't until the two put down their hats and took off their cloaks that everyone saw that they were two identical and very beautiful faces. After carefully looking at their clothes, they found that although the color of their robes was plain, the faint brilliance on the clothes showed that In addition to the luxury of the fabric, the two jade pendants on the waist, one dragon and one phoenix, are also moist and translucent.
It is rare to see such a good-looking person in this small village.
Last time Qi Ao and Ao Qi only stayed in the hotel, and Ning Ziyun did most of the errands, so no one in the town had seen them.
The waiter in the shop has always been impressed by their outstanding appearance. Even though it has been many days, he still recognized them at a glance. He was a little surprised when he saw them, and then greeted them very warmly into the shop: "Two guests, inside Please! I haven't seen you two for a while, where are you busy?"
The shop waiter bent his waist and bowed his body. He stood in front of them and leaned over to say the latter sentence, so his voice was not very loud.
Qi Ao and Ao Qi looked around the lobby for a week, and then Qi Ao smiled gently and put out the prepared remarks: "I went around that day and accidentally walked into the nearby woods. I went out to find a place to change my clothes. The forest is so lush."
These words really frightened the waiter in the shop. He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide, and took a deep breath: "The guest officer went to the forest of death? Oh, the guest officer is really lucky, and he can come out alive from there." Having said that, the body is still a little scared and moved away.
Qi Ao just pretended he didn't see it, and said, "Go and greet others, we have friends here" and sent the frightened Xiaoer away from the shop.
☆, Dharma protector
The Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion is located under the forest of desperation mentioned by Xiaoer Dian.
Originally, this was just an ordinary forest. In order to prevent the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion from being discovered, Huayou asked people to put many poisonous insects and beasts in the forest, and some people in the pavilion often patrolled. As a result, the name "Forest of Desperation" gradually came into being.The tiankeng where the main pavilion is located is almost in the deepest part of the forest, surrounded by tall and dense trees. Unless you look down from the sky, no one would think that there is another luxurious world under this forest.
Ao Qi and Qi Ao attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the door. Under the gaze of everyone, Ao Qi and Qi Ao walked to the gray corner, then sat down, greeted the "tramp" familiarly, and the three said After a few words, the homeless man nodded, took the package and the three got up and walked upstairs together.
The silent onlookers watched them go up the stairs before turning their eyes away.
Gewu opened the door of his room, turned sideways to let Aoqi and the others go in first, and closed the door behind himself at the end, then called them to sit down and poured tea for them.
After taking a sip of tea, Ao Qi put down the teacup, and asked with a serious expression: "Now you can tell me what happened to your hand."
Gowu's bright smile that he was trying to hold back became dimmed. He sat hesitantly on the stool for a while and was silent for a while. Tell you the matter, and you can leave. But before that, I want to remind you that the leader has definitely started to arrange new plans and arrangements."
Seeing that Gowu was in a decadent state like never before, Qi Ao quickly patted his left shoulder, his eyes filled with worry and concern: "We don't want to hear about those things now, tell us about your hands first. .”
Seeing that Ge Wu really couldn't hold back the two of them, he had no choice but to tell Ao Qi and Qi Ao exactly what happened after he was recalled by the Demon Sect.
"In the beginning, I came to monitor the elder brother in the name of the leader," Gou said, and glanced at Aoqi, "but then the elder brother asked me to go to the second elder brother. I think the second brother saw me so trustingly Me, entrusting such an important matter to me, if I betray my brother again, it will be done by a beast. After that, I haven’t told the leader about the actions of my brother. Prevarication of important information. Once or twice is okay, but if it is too much, something is wrong, so that day the demon sect sent a first-level signal and called me back.
"After I went back, I told the leader that I didn't want to continue to monitor my elder brother, but this kind of behavior was extremely inconsistent with the status of the right protector of the Devil's Sect. If I were still the right protector of the Devil's Sect, I must obey his orders. The leader saw that I was in a dilemma and sent I was imprisoned in the water prison and forced me to choose between the two, but it happened during that time that I figured it out, whether it is the white way, the black way or the decent demon religion, whichever side you choose will have a time when you can't help yourself, it's better From the beginning, follow the person in your heart who is willing to follow and give loyalty.
"Big brother and second brother, you didn't doubt me because of my identity, you didn't have prejudice against me like other decent martial arts people, and you even entrusted yourself to me to take care of you when you were in danger, regardless of the confrontation of identity. I Suddenly I feel that those who pay attention to the struggle between good and evil behave too petty. You have such a mind and such a magnanimity that a martial arts person should have.
"So I explained my choice to the leader. The leader...he didn't force it. He just said that I, as the leader's right and left hand protector, wanted me to pay him a right arm. But it's okay, just use one arm to replace me. Freedom. The leader wants me to swear that once I leave the Demon Cult, I will never have anything to do with the Demon Cult for the rest of my life.
"I'm half a useless person now," Gowu smiled bitterly and looked at his left hand. "I can't even eat, dress, and tie my hair well. I don't know if there will be a day when I can pick up the silver-tipped jade fishing rod again. The leader took me After being driven out, as long as I have been in contact with the plans and arrangements, they will definitely be rearranged, and I'm afraid I really... can't help much."
Afterwards, Ge Wu didn't say anything anymore, and the once high-spirited Demon Sect's right guardian lowered his head, looking a little hesitant and confused.
At that time, he chose to leave the Demon Sect rashly, but he didn't think about whether Aoqi was willing to accept him. After receiving the news from Aoqi, he rushed here overnight, and only then remembered his current situation. Aoqi and the others probably didn't know about it. .He knows that Aoqi and the others are the ones who are going to do great things, and that he used to be able to contribute to fight side by side when Aoqi and the others needed it, but now...
Thinking of this, Gowu felt even more desolate in his heart.He made a bet for himself, betting that he made the right choice for the first time in his life, betting that he did not entrust his fate to the wrong person in this adventure.
Ao Qi and Qi Ao glanced at each other, and both saw indescribably complicated expressions on each other's faces.They didn't expect Aoqi to subdue Gewu with the so-called "heroes cherish heroes" loyalty, even in exchange for such a devoted follower.Of course, they don't know that this is actually the role of the protagonist's halo above their heads.
Then Qiao stood up and gave Gewu a hug, and so did Aoqi.
A thousand words are contained in this one hug.
Ge Wu's face regained its light, and what returned to Ao Qi and Qi Ao was his bright and sunny smile, but this time he smiled and suddenly cried.Therefore, I did not see Ao Qi and Qi Ao exchanging a happy look hidden under the sadness and care.
After Ge Wu calmed down, Qi Ao told Ge Wu of their decision: "Come back to Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion with us."
Gewu thought that Aoqi and the others would make new progress during the period of time away, but never expected that they would be associated with Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, and judging by Qi Ao's appearance, this is definitely not from Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion small branch.Curious about the legendary Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, Ge Wu, who decided to follow Ao Qi and Qi Ao, naturally agreed to Qi Ao's decision.
After bringing Ge Wu to the Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, Ao Qi and Qi Ao went to do other things. When Hua You heard that Ao Qi and the others had brought back a person, they rushed to see him. At first, they were a little contemptuous when they saw that it was a one-armed man. , Looking at his weapon expression later, he became slightly surprised.
"Are you Gou, the Right Protector of the Devil's Sect?" But Huayou's surprised expression only flashed across his face, and then changed back to his arrogant and glamorous image.
Ge Wu had already calmed down his emotions, facing the doubts of the flower friends, he smiled indifferently: "It used to be, but it's not anymore."
Huayou shifted his gaze to his broken right arm: "Your arm is broken, so you won't be able to use this silver-tipped jade fishing rod," Huayou shook his head before Gewu said anything, "What a pity. "
When they came over on the way, Aoqi and the others told Gewu about the disposition of Huayou in Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion. Gewu had never seen any strange people in the Devil's Sect, so he didn't respond much to Huayou's provocative words.
Huayou frowned impatiently, he took two steps on the spot, raised his voice and continued, "That's right, without this silver-tipped jade fishing rod, the Devil's Sect's right guardian is naturally not a right guardian." .”
Huayou waited for a while and saw that Ge Wu didn't pay attention to him at all. He was only holding a silver-tipped jade fishing rod in his left hand and gestured strangely. He glared at Ge Wu angrily, and left with a "huh".
Huayou has been busy helping Aoqi and the others to investigate the information of "Thousand Faces" recently, and only found out one piece of news that he had disappeared in the Jianghu. He was so angry that he wanted to ask for credit in front of Aoqi and Qiao , flew into a rage in front of several leaders of the "Ear", and almost smashed the information department with a black face, and then doubled the number of people to continue investigating the traces of Qianmianshen.Fortunately, when Huayou and Qiao talked about this matter later, Qiao mentioned, "Isn't Qianmianshen still has two disciples?" This awakened Huayou and spread the net even more.
By the time of dinner, Ge Wu had rested all afternoon. Before dinner, he specially burned incense and took a bath, changed his messy clothes, and had his hair tied up by the maid, so that he returned to his original state of majesty and heroism.
At the dinner table, the flower friend glanced at Gou and said, "What a skinny guy." I don't know whether it is a compliment or a derogation, but such a flower friend does not differ from his normal eccentric attitude and unpredictable behavior.
The flower friend in front of Aoqi and the others was the real exception. At that time, everyone in the pavilion was really frightened. If it weren't for the rules of Xuanyang Jedi Pavilion, and the flower friend faced other subordinates as usual, I'm afraid he It has long become the talk of his subordinates after dinner.
I have something to talk about after dinner, the gathering of three people some time ago turned into four people this time.Huayou said "I'm really tired" and lay on the bed sideways, holding the teacup and scraping the foam on the tea in the cup, his eyes seemed to be closed but not closed.In fact, both ears fully listened to what the three people around Aoqi said.
Although Gowu has already left the Devil's Cult, but that is the place where he once worked his life after all, and with the poisonous oath before leaving, he can't tell the whole story, he can only guarantee that Qiao will ask him a question, and he will say something. All are the truth.On the other hand, even though Gowu is the right protector of the Demon Sect, the leader will still be wary of him. He can only know what his own part is going to do in many things, and he doesn't even know much about many things, let alone Said that there are some secrets that only the leader knows.
After chatting like this for less than half an hour, Qi'ao finally asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "Is there anyone in the church who knows how to disguise and shrink bones?"
Gowu fell into deep thought, and shook his head after a while: "No one in the teaching knows these two kinds of skills." There are not many people practicing all kinds of strange martial arts in the teaching, but everyone will choose those who can see people's blood. The kung fu of human life, no one really appreciates this kind of playful martial art.
As soon as Ge Wu finished speaking, he saw Ao Qi and Qi Ao's expressions froze. He was feeling strange and wanted to ask Qi Ao what happened, when there was a bang in his ear, and he turned his head to see that it was Huayou who smashed the teacup to the ground. On the armrest beside him, he rolled over and sat up.
The flower friend who smashed the teacup didn't move any further. His face changed several times before slowly returning to its original appearance. He smoothed the creases on his sleeves.
"It's time for them to speed up the progress." Huayou stood up and strode towards the climbing ladder while talking. Facing the wind, he stepped forward step by step, and the wind blew his wide sleeves and long back hem, and the silk-colored robe rolled up in the wind, which looked like dancing flames against the remaining swaying candlelight.
☆, thousands of faces
One person hurriedly walked through the gallery, walked out of the strange-shaped rockery, and stepped on the snow-covered 81-step stone ladder, step by step to the top of the mountain.On the top of the mountain, the cold wind whizzes past, and the sky, the earth, the clouds and the mountains are all white in the distance, and the branches are covered with frost.
The man lowered his head and knelt on one knee and printed the envelope in white characters on a black background, and a pattern of crow-blue treasures appeared in his sight.With a light hand, he heard the person in front of him ask, "Is the news reliable?"
"Reliable," he said with absolute certainty.
"Okay, let him go over there." The person in front of him turned his back after saying this, "He can act after passing the order."
He didn't even dare to lift his head, and hurriedly retreated after receiving the order.
In front of my eyes is the vast sky, mountains and fields, and the wind blows, frost and snow blows, and the world is covered with a white curtain.Holding the envelope between his lips, he concealed the insidiousness and anticipation in his smile: "We are finally meeting." This vague sentence just spit out from between his lips, and was quickly blown away by the cold wind.
The snow has stopped for the past two days, and the sun has finally revealed half of its face from the clouds. It flows into the creek, carrying a few pieces of small snow cubes and moving forward happily.
When the flower friend turned to his eyes, Qi'ao hadn't had time to see clearly whether it was a spring flower with pink and green leaves or a person, that bright spring came to him in an instant.
Ao Qi, Qi Ao, and Ge Wu were studying the matter, and they suddenly broke in and turned into such a big living person. They were really shocked, but Ao Qi and Qi Ao were used to it, so they reacted quickly, but it was Ge Wu She was so frightened that she opened her mouth wide, her eyes nearly popped out, watching Huayou talking and falling on Ao Qi and Qi Ao, putting her shoulders on her shoulders and tugging on her sleeves.
"You guys are so bad, you don't even ask me to discuss things." Huayou pretended to be charming and pouted, and standing behind Aoqi, his hands slid from Aoqi's shoulders to his chest, but his eyes were looking at Qi profound.
Ao Qi sat there with a calm expression and took a sip of tea naturally before speaking: "How's the investigation of the 'Qian Mian Shen' matter? You are not needed here."
Huayou laughed when he heard Aoqi's words, and the laughter felt crisp and numb in his heart, Ge Wu hurriedly withdrew his attention and held his breath, and then heard the Huayou continue to say: "I don't have any information on Qianmian's body here, But..." While talking, he stretched out his palm to admire it over and over in front of his own eyes, with a small expression on his face waiting for someone's compliment, "I found one of his two apprentices, Qian Mian."
"Flower friend," Qi'ao beckoned to Huayou, and Huayou limply floated from Aoqi's back to Qi'ao's side, "How many days until we see each other?"
Seeing that Qi Ao let him play with his sleeves, he knew that Qi Ao was quite satisfied with what he had done, and he was also happy, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "The soonest it will be tomorrow morning and the day after tomorrow at the latest. I met someone, Qiao, when will you accompany me to the competition?" After being mentioned by Qiao once, Huayou stopped saying those weird and ambiguous words, but his seductive tone really couldn't be changed. Qi Ao no longer insisted.
As soon as Huayou finished speaking, Aoqi stood up from the chair, took Qi'ao's hand and walked towards the ladder: "It's time for the medicine bath, we should go."
Qi Ao asked Ao Qi to pull him, turned around and waved back, and pointed out a way for Hua You to play for more than ten days: "Hua You, Ge Wu has been practicing using his left hand to make his silver tip. Jade Fishing Rod, you can let him practice with you, it will also be helpful to him."
Huayou looked at the figures of Aoqi and Qiao walking away with some discouragement, until the door of the climbing ladder was closed before shifting his gaze to Gowu who was beside him with the old god.
With one hand resting on his chest and the other propping his chin, Huayou looked at Gowu seriously from head to toe in a study-like manner, then reached out and took the silver-tipped jade fishing rod beside him and weighed it in his hand, feeling very suspicious He sarcastically said: "Just you, is it enough for me to play?"
Gewu turned his head to meet Huayou's eyes, smiled modestly at him, and then suddenly stretched out his left hand.
Hua You just felt that his hands were empty in the blink of an eye, but Ge Wu moved so fast that he took the fishing rod back from his hand before he had time to react, and this was the first time the two of them met. It's just that the interval is less than [-] days.
Huayou knew that Ge Wu had a heart-to-heart talk with Qi Ao, and also knew that Ge Wu now stayed in his room and practiced his left hand until late at night except when Ao Qi and Qi Ao needed him, but he didn't expect Ge Wu at all. The ability to learn and adapt is so powerful. His use of the left hand has completely escaped the stage of unfamiliar practice. Not only can he eat and dress himself in an orderly manner, even his weapon seems to wake up from a lethargy in his hands. It's normal, and it's starting to have some original appearance, which is very different from the strangeness that stays in the memory of flower friends.
Huayou put his hand back on his chin, stroked his chin and showed Gou a playful and interested smile: "He is indeed an interesting person."
Gewu nodded slightly towards Huayou, and returned him with a calm smile.
The matter arranged by Huayou was indeed done very quickly. On the morning of the second day, I got the news that the person had been invited and could arrange a meeting immediately.
Inside the tea house, Ao Qi and Qi Ao are playing chess, each holding a cup of tea and several dried fruits.
Although the playing styles of the two seem completely different, they are both people who can think of the next ten moves in the next step, and they are too familiar with each other to guess the next move easily, so they played the first two games all morning. It was all a draw, and they took the trouble to start the third game.
Qi Ao looked at the door while waiting for Ao Qi to come down, but there was still no movement.He threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and pointed at an empty space on the chessboard with his fingertips: "If you play here, there will be three more pieces in your hand."
Ao Qi placed the black stones where Qi Ao was pointing, this time the game didn't last long, the winner was soon decided, Qi Ao didn't lose too badly, no more, no less, just got three pieces.
"Okay, okay, I owe you once." Even though he lost, Qi'ao's words were not at all familiar and depressed, but there was a smile on the contrary.For Qi Ao's childish mischievous behavior in front of him occasionally, Ao Qi just finds it funny, anyway, if he wins, he will naturally have a prize, so there is nothing wrong with him.
As soon as Qi Ao's voice fell, he heard the outer door being pushed open, and a person walked in cautiously, trying not to make any noise when touching the door, he probably only walked in a few steps and didn't continue to move forward. After a while, I heard his reserved and frightened voice: "Who invited me here?" It must have been the observation of the room during the silence just now.
Qi Ao restrained the wanton expression on his face, picked up the folding fan at the side and unfolded it, and then showed his good show on his face: "Then I'll go out."
Ao Qi was packing up the chess pieces, when he heard Qi Ao's words, he stopped his movements, raised his head, shifted his gaze to Qi Ao, nodded, and waited for Qi Ao to go out before continuing what he was doing, but his ears kept paying attention to the movement outside .
After coming out of the dark pavilion, Qi Ao closed the door. The door fit the wall perfectly. If you don't look carefully, you can't see that there is a door on this wall.He walked a few more steps outside, stopped at the spot and listened carefully, Qi'ao felt a little funny when he heard that the person in the hall was a little uncomfortable.
Shen Qingyi was originally threatened to come here, but he didn't show up to greet him before the meeting, and he made it clear that he wanted to give him a "dismissal". This series of things made him very angry, and he thought about it later No matter what the visitor asked, he would always say that he didn't know, and he was not going to give that person a good look.
Just as the person thought about it more and more, he felt insulted and angrier, when a voice as clear as green bamboo after rain came from behind the screen.
"Thank you Mr. Shen for waiting for a long time, people from the Dugu family in Xiaqianyue Villa."
Before the words fell, a person walked out from behind the orchid screen holding a folding fan.
He was dressed in a moon-white plain soft satin brocade robe, which set off his eyes like lacquer and his eyebrows like ink paintings. What's more, the carefree and romantic look between his brows added a lot of brilliance to him. Shen Qingyi has painted this person many times before. The man with multiple faces couldn't help but let out an admiration, he put on a decent smile and bowed respectfully to Shen Qingyi who had only been waiting in the room for a while, making Shen Qingyi look straight at him for a moment, until Qi Ao held his mouth After laughing and calling Shen Qingyi's name a few times, Shen Qingyi came back to his senses, and while pretending to return the gift, he took a few sneaky glances at Qi Ao, but Qi Ao Quan pretended not to see it.
When Shen Qingyi lost his mind, Qi Ao had already seen clearly who the only second apprentice "Thousand Faces" Shen Qingyi was.
Shen Qingyi is of medium build and is dressed in civilian clothes. He has a peaceful expression. He has a very ordinary face, the kind that can't be found in the crowd, but it is precisely this kind of appearance that is most suitable for learning disguise, like For a special skill like disguise technique, which is mainly on the face, the less outstanding the original foundation, the easier it is to shape it.If you insist on saying something, it is that Shen Qingyi looks quite elegant, but this elegance always has a faint sour and smelly feeling, and the brows are full of vicissitudes and exhaustion that cannot be concealed, and all the hustle and bustle Wuwei is like an ordinary man who lives a hard life. The burden and time on his shoulders have killed his years and his passion.
After some polite greetings, Qi Ao asked Shen Qingyi to sit down, and then sat himself in the chair opposite him, shaking his folding fan lightly and smiling at Yan Yan: "I've heard the name of 'Thousand Faces' Shen Qingyi for a long time, and today I can meet you, I am very honored." With a simple sentence, it was said that forcing someone was inviting someone, and immediately promoted the other party several steps.
However, after hearing Qi'ao's words, Shen Qingyi didn't show such expressions as joy and pride, and even showed a trace of struggle and depression, all of which fell into Qi'ao's eyes.
Judging from the news that Huayou told them, this Shen Qingyi, who inherited his master's disguise technique and should have taken a place in the Jianghu Famous Records, did not choose to enter the Jianghu to achieve a career after he was graduated from the teacher. She married a woman from an ordinary family, and gave birth to a child in the second year, leading a peaceful and peaceful life of ordinary people.
