The first floor of Luhua Tianxia

(11)

------------

The long and hot summer is like a lover who has just tasted love. He can't wait to burn all the enthusiasm in this life. Finally, a heavy rain pours down and he walks in a hurry, just adding fuel to the fire. Without the scorching sun, there is sticky transpiration The air is heavy in the chest.

Only when the sun sets, the chilly moon reminds people that the days are still so fast, and it is obviously autumn.The cool autumn night is reluctant to let go of summer, and another foot has stepped into the door of winter.People who have finally recovered from the heart-burning temperature all love to look at the moon. Seeing its profit and loss, they feel so sad that they wish to replace it with their own bodies.

Huamanlou is not a person who likes to be sad. At this moment, his face seemed a little dark under the moonlight filtered by the sparse branches and leaves.The black jade flawless wine glass on the stone table in front of him is still full, and the wine is also dark in color when reflected in the night.

The night is cool but there is no wind, the moon, trees, people, and tables are as quiet as a painting.Suddenly, the corners of the mouth of the person in the painting curled up slightly, and there was an expression on his brows.A nimble figure landed silently, flashed into the courtyard, and seemed to hesitate again when it came to the pavilion.

"Why don't you go through the main entrance?" asked the person with his back turned,

"It would be impolite to disturb the villa at such a late hour." Seeing that he had noticed, Lu Xiaofeng took a few quick steps and jumped into the pavilion.

Hua Manlou raised his eyebrows in puzzlement, "Then why did you choose to come back after sunset?"

Lu Xiaofeng coughed lightly, and untied the oilcloth bag he was holding, inside was a handmade bamboo and rattan box, opened, and there were two bunches of grapes.A string of rouge, a string of emerald green, all crowded together.

The aroma of grapes overwhelmed the smell of wine, Lu Xiaofeng slapped his head, "I haven't had time to wash it yet."

Huamanlou was about to speak when he heard the words, but Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand again, "Don't bother Huaping, I'll take it to the mouth of the well over there and wash it."

Hua Manlou touched the scattered cloth bag on the table, shaking off a cloud of dust.Hua Manlou squeezed the rough sand in his hands, and heard the sound of splashing water coming from the other side.Of course he knew that Lu Xiaofeng had just returned at night, so he went straight to Yuxiu Villa, and he also understood why he was in such a hurry, he couldn't wait until tomorrow, and there was still yellow sand in the package.But he just wanted to hear him say it himself, and it was not in vain that he missed him for two whole months.But after thinking about it, if he really said it, how should he respond in order to be decent.Hua Manlou sat upright, but her mind was full of miscellaneous thoughts.

Lu Xiaofeng had already returned with two bunches of grapes, dripping water all the way.Hua Manlou randomly picked one and tasted it, it was generally sweet, but after chewing it, it felt faintly sour, so it fit the occasion.

"Brother Hua, try this string again." Lu Xiaofeng's voice was close to his ear, "Even though the emerald string is green in color, it tastes even better than honey, and it's incomparable to all others."

Sure enough, it is not inferior to honey, the sweetness almost choked her throat, Hua Manlou grabbed the wine glass that was put aside before, and drank it, which diluted the sweetness in her mouth.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "This emerald string is a gift from a friend when he left. He said it is a special product, and it is not available anywhere else. I must bring it back."

The two chatted one after another, and Huamanlou laughed out loud from time to time when he heard him say that the Western Regions had a harsher sun than the Jiangnan, and that the light-haired singer was wearing ingeniously handmade ornaments. He shook his head and sighed again.

Until only half a cluster of condensed purple grapes remained, the conversation and laughter came to an end.Lu Xiaofeng was playing with the lid of the rattan box in his hand, unable to figure out Hua Manlou's thoughts,

"Why don't you ask, I suddenly ran to the Western Regions..."

"Of course you're not going to escape the summer heat," Hua Manlou continued to smile, "You were invited by an old friend, so what can I ask?"

Huo Xiuyuan had only been away for a few days, and Lu Xiaofeng disappeared without a trace. He only asked someone to say that he was invited by a friend to the Western Regions.Surprised, Hua Manlou inquired about it, but couldn't find out who the friend who invited him was.Afterwards, he returned to Yuxiu Villa, where he really spent the rest of the summer.

Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while, and then he said, "Don't worry about me..."

Hua Manlou didn't speak, Lu Xiaofeng was also uncertain, thinking that he would definitely have a hard time in the past two months, but also knowing that he had gone too far.Just now I squatted on the wall for a long time, watching flowers all over the building silently sitting under the moon, I put a glass of wine in my hand and put it down again, the figure remained the same, but the whirling moonlight revealed a different state of mind, and my heartache instantly covered all the already heavy thoughts , that taste is really uncomfortable.

How could Hua Manlou feel better, after a while, he felt that Lu Xiaofeng was being bumped beside him, his heart softened, and he stopped being deadlocked with him,

"Lu Xiaofeng, do you want me to worry about you, or don't you want me to worry about you?"

Unexpectedly, he was so straightforward, Lu Xiaofeng was asked instead,

"If I say, I hope you will worry about me." Lu Xiaofeng restrained his laughter, "I hope you don't worry too much..."

"Because you always have to leave. If you come back this time and the next time, how can I worry about coming?" Hua Manlou continued,

This time it was Lu Xiaofeng who didn't speak, and his gaze became confused, he could only look up at the moon in the sky,

"Is the moon in other places different?"

"No," Lu Xiaofeng replied quickly, seeing the moon shadow reflected in Hua Manlou's eyes, he bowed his head again, "I have to go again."

Hua Manlou remained silent for a while, "Tell me about your troubles."

Lu Xiaofeng pulled Hua Manlou's hand out from under his sleeve, and his palm touched a cold jade object.It occupies half the size of a palm at a slant, engraved with fine characters, with edges and corners on all sides, and a jade buckle on one end.

"Why is this Jade Rakshasa card in your hands again?" Hua Manlou frowned,

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, "That's right, I don't know why this trouble always comes to me, and I can't even get rid of it."

"Could it be Jade Rakshasa who invited you to the Western Regions? No wonder I couldn't find out."

"In order to thank me for helping him before, he got rid of the three friends of Suihan and left Yu Luocha to me as a thank you gift."

Hua Manlou's expression turned ugly, "I don't think Yu Luocha is the kind of person who would do such a thing."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him, "Forget it, what I said is actually the truth. This Jade Rakshasa was indeed given to me by him."

Hua Manlou's expression didn't ease, on the contrary, it sank a bit, "If there are problems in this world that even he can't solve by himself..."

"He may be able to do it, or he may not be able to do it, it's impossible to say for sure," Hua Manlou paused for breath when he heard the words, and then heard Lu Xiaofeng continue, "Yu Luocha is almost dead,"

"If he is like this, why... Even if he is still alive and well, you can still refuse." Hua Manlou said eagerly,

----------

Although Lu Xiaofeng likes to meddle in other people's affairs, he is not interested in meddling in every other person's affairs.What's more, a lifetime is already too short, how can you seek your own death if you haven't fully enjoyed what you should enjoy.

However, he couldn't ignore his friends' troubles, and he couldn't ignore the places his friends invited him to.

The specially-made carriage has ample interior space, which is more than enough for four or five people.It's just that two people who have never met each other stay in a closed space, and the atmosphere is somewhat weird.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng lift the curtain and come in, the expressions of the two sitting on the cushion seemed to be relieved.

Among them, the eyes of the old man in commoner clothes with a sword lit up, and he quickly moved to sit next to Lu Xiaofeng. As for the other young man, it wasn't that Lu Xiaofeng didn't see him for the first time, it's just that this person was very strange.Just as Lu Xiaofeng thought of this, he noticed that the young man sitting across from him smiled at him, as if he wanted to make friends with him. Just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to respond, the old man spoke abruptly,

"Lu Xiaofeng, do you know who he is?"

"Who?"

"His father is one of the two protectors of the Demon Sect."

Gu Daoren, a Bashan swordsman, has been out of everyone's sight for a long time, leaving only a set of "Qi Qi 49 Hand Hui Feng Wu Liu Jian" and his enduring fame.Since Lu Xiaofeng was invited by him, how could he say no to it.

"You must not guess why Daoren Gu dragged me into this pit," Lu Xiaofeng said while staring at the bunch of green jadeites, as if thinking of something, smiled wryly,

When layman Gu Daoren took over the dark green robes representing the elders of the Demon Cult in front of him, Lu Xiaofeng can still feel his face at that time in retrospect, it was probably as green as the robes.

Everyone guessed where this unique generation of swordsmen went to hide from the world. He actually escaped from the Demon Sect to take over as the elder. Did he boldly seek profit after seeing through the falsehood of the world, or did he put fame and fortune above fame? Taoist Gu himself probably doesn't care about things anymore,

Hua Manlou's expression turned ugly, "Lu Xiaofeng, I really don't know which one is more your best friend or your bad friend?"

"Another protector from the Devil's Cult gave me even more trouble," Lu Xiaofeng chewed a grape before speaking again,

In the rocky wilderness, a blood-red pointed fortress stands among the huge rocks, with tall stone beams and thick black rock walls.There was a figure standing in front of the building waiting for them, wearing a crimson satin robe, with a faint light flying in the wind, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help snorting when he approached.The one with frosty face in front of him was Zuo Xuan.

"It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia." Hua Manlou smiled wryly for him, and suddenly remembered something, "Wait, that young man who went with you in the carriage?"

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, "You also think this is the most unexpected thing, right?"

That vigorous young man was actually Zuo Xuan's son.

"After these three things, can Yu Luocha no longer surprise you by doing anything?"

"He really can't," Lu Xiaofeng replied.

He himself didn't think that when he saw the old man on the stone bed clearly, his greatest feeling would be sadness, because he found that the leader of the Demon Cult, who lived in horror legends, was just an old man who couldn't do what he wanted in front of the number of days.

Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed when he felt the Raksha card being stuffed in his hand.This Rakshasa card that everyone covets is no different from a command talisman to remind him.

"Lu Xiaofeng, please don't tell me that you have received the Raksha card and now you are the leader of the Demon Sect." Hua Manlou couldn't laugh or cry,

Lu Xiaofeng bit her lower lip, Hua Manlou was about to have a fit when she heard him say no, she let go of her heart a little.Lu Xiaofeng immediately stood up, walked around the stone table again and again, Hua Manlou finally sighed,

"Just tell me, what exactly is Yu Luocha looking for you to do?"

Lu Xiaofeng turned around quickly when he heard the words, looked at him, spread his hands together, and spit out two words with a single heartbeat,

"Tuo Gu."
