[Ancient Sword] Old dreams are picturesque

When he was drowsy, the slight sound of footsteps not far away woke Ling Yue up.He became vigilant and relaxed in an instant, probably no one knew the sound of footsteps better than him.

"Brother, why did you come here alone? It's easy for Tu Su to find." Baili Tusu held a long robe in his hand, walked to the side and lightly draped it over Ling Yue's body, and glanced at the almost bottomless wine jar beside him He glanced at the faint blush on Lingyue's cheeks and shook his head, "Senior brother has never been addicted to alcohol, why is he so interested tonight, and lying on the grass after drinking like this, blowing the cool breeze really made my brother worry for a while .”

Half-opening a pair of blurred eyes, Ling Yue said in a rare way to relax, "It's okay, this plum blossom wine is strong but not easy to get drunk. When I went to Chunhetang to buy dried meat for Ah Xiang, I happened to meet plum blossoms that just came out. For brewing, last year's plum blossoms were very good, so this year's plum blossoms are so fragrant."

Perhaps taking advantage of Lingyue's alcohol, Baili Tusu asked tentatively, "Brother didn't say a word during the banquet just now, but what's so unpleasant? In a blink of an eye, brother ran out to drink by himself. It's not like a senior brother's style."

Although Ling Yue looked a little drunk, in fact he was not drunk, but his mind was still clear.He sighed softly, and wanted to open his lips to say something, but he swallowed the words back.

He really didn't want to say some things to annoy Baili Tusu for nothing. In fact, his partners were all very good, whether it was Fang Lansheng who was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, Hongyu who was soft-hearted and Lanxin, or Feng Qingxue who was innocent and pure.

But Lingyue inexplicably felt an unpleasant emotion, and this inexplicable emotion suddenly overwhelmed him.Unable to open his mouth to say anything, he just felt like the most redundant person in such a warm scene, unable to persuade himself to get rid of that strange feeling, he could only choose to leave silently.

Alcohol is a big taboo for those who practice Taoism, but he still took a jar of wine and lay down on the grass to pour it without any scruples.Although he wasn't too drunk, he was still a bit dazed, but he still managed to maintain his rationality.

Since Lingyue was silent, Baili Tusu did not continue to ask.Just sitting quietly beside him, also looking up at the night sky like splashed ink.After a long time, Lingyue's confusion seemed to be blown away a little by the cold wind, he stood up and put his robe on his body and said, "Go back."

Ling Yue's figure was a little shaken but he was completely awake. The two of them didn't take a few steps before seeing a little girl sitting on the grass not far away, crying.There was a Kongming lantern in front of the little girl, but it never lit up. The little girl's brother seemed to be sweating too, but the flint and steel, which was always brilliant, didn't work for some reason.

The girl's brother wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and continued rubbing and colliding two flints in an attempt to ignite a little spark, "Don't worry, Xiao Wan, my brother will definitely let Xiao Wan see the Kongming Lantern flying up!"

Ling Yue couldn't bear it, so he walked over and asked, "Do you need help?"

The girl's brother seemed a little shy looking at the two well-dressed big brothers, but said in a low voice, "My sister wants to see the Kongming Lantern, but I can't light it anyway, so..." After finishing speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly. scratched his head.

Now is not the day to light the Kongming lanterns, and there is wind at night, so I don’t know when I will be able to light the Kongming lanterns, but my brother’s desire to make my sister happy is invaluable.

Ling Yue chuckled, "Then brother, can you help me?"

The girl finally broke through her tears and looked at Ling Yue expectantly with a smile on her face, "Really?"

Ling Yue nodded, lit the Kongming lantern with spells, and cast spells on the lamp so that it would not be blown away by the wind.Seeing the little boy and his sister smiling happily, Ling Yue's lips unconsciously evoked a faint smile.

Then Ling Yue said with emotion, "Qinchuan's lanterns are impressive. The Qinchuan River is full of people who want to write blessing lanterns for their relatives and loved ones. One after another, the lotus lanterns... ...floating on the river..."

After finishing speaking, Ling Yue realized something was wrong, and immediately looked at Baili Tusu.Sure enough, Baili Tusu looked at him with a complicated face, "Brother...were you in Qinchuan during the Qinchuan Lantern Festival?"

Ling Yue remained silent, then gathered his robe and strode forward.Naturally, Baili Tusu would not let him get rid of this topic easily. He walked up to Lingyue, put his hands on his shoulders and asked word by word, "Brother, you came to Qinchuan to look for me at that time? I was angry that day Attack, why didn't senior brother show up? Why didn't you see me before leaving?"

Turning his head to the side, Ling Yue obviously didn't want to recall that night when Feng Qingxue held his junior brother's hand to heal the evil spirit, but Baili Tusu's gaze was too aggressive.After a long silence, Ling Yue spoke slowly, "That night was the night of the new moon. I was worried about you, so I tried every means to find your location through Ah Xiang. At that time, Miss Qingxue was helping you relieve the evil spirit, and I was I didn't delay too much when I was injured."

Baili Tusu caught a word sensitively, "Injury?" No wonder he could smell a faint smell of blood when he woke up the next day. Sure enough, the senior brother had been there, and the senior brother had a wound on his body, but he had nothing. known.

"It's okay, it's just a small injury. After all these days, all wounds have healed.",

Baili Tusu couldn't agree with Lingyue's so-called minor injuries, and he didn't want to see him silently mentioning the matter lightly, "Brother, do you know what I am most powerless about? That is when I learned that my brother did it for me afterwards. I learned about these things and those things, but I only found out about these things unintentionally! No matter what it is, I was the last to know about it!"

Ling Yue looked at Baili Tusu's painful face, and didn't know how to comfort him. No matter how much he said now, it would not help the matter.After a long stalemate, Ling Yue said softly, "Chunhe Tang's plum blossom wine is really good, would you like a cup?"

It was just an excuse to change the subject, but Baili Tusu actually took Ling Yue to Chunhetang to buy two jars of plum blossom wine.Although it is not enough to get drunk, Ling Yue is obviously overwhelmed by alcohol. Although Meihua Niang is not easy to get drunk, he will still get drunk if he drinks too much.

Seeing that Ling Yue had fallen asleep on the stone table, Baili Tusu sighed helplessly.Gather the robe to Ling Yue, and then Baili Tusu picked him up and walked towards the inn.It was already late at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the entrance of the inn, he ran into Fang Lansheng. Fang Lansheng was terrified when he saw the two of them, as if he had seen a ghost.He stammered and pointed at Ling Yue who was sleeping in Baili Tusu's arms, and said, "He, he... what's wrong with him?"

"Brother drank too much..." Then he planned to go around and go back to the room, but the stupid Fang Lansheng stopped Baili Tusu with the courage he didn't know where he came from.

"Well, wooden face... I have something to tell you..."

Baili Tusu frowned, "It's already late at night, we'll talk about things tomorrow."

"This matter is very important..." Fang Lansheng glanced at Baili Tusu's obviously impatient face, and hurriedly said, "It's about your senior brother!"

Baili Tusu frowned, "What's going on?"

Fang Lansheng clicked his tongue, and suddenly regretted that he had said the matter so bluntly, he was not ready for what to say!

Hearing that it was about his senior brother, Baili Tusu's attitude improved a lot. Seeing Fang Lansheng's anxious and bewildered expression, he said lightly, "Well, I'll send senior brother back to his room to rest first. Wait for me for a moment."

"Okay, okay!" Fang Lansheng wished that Baili Tusu would give him some time to speak, so he readily agreed.

Not long after, Baili Tusu went downstairs to Fang Lansheng and asked, "Okay, let's talk about it."

"Let me ask you, do you think your senior brother has any strange hobbies? That's, that's..." After dawdling for a long time, Fang Lansheng Baili Tusu's expression was wrong and said quickly, "For example, like men?"

Baili Tusu frowned like a bolt from the blue, and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"Uh...Actually, it's not the first time I saw your senior brother at Tengxian Cave...Earlier, I saw him in Jiangdu, and he seemed to be with Shaogong at that time."

"Senior brother probably doesn't know you sir, do you have any basis for saying that?"

Fang Lansheng scratched his head, "That night I saw Shaogong carrying him back to the Jiangdu Inn with my own eyes, and then Shaogong never left the room. I was so shocked that I couldn't sleep well all night, and the next morning I saw him go back to the Jiangdu Inn. Gong came out of Gong's room. Although Shaogong never married a wife, but...but it's impossible..."

"That's impossible!" Baili Tusu interrupted Fang Lansheng by slapping the table, but he didn't know what to say to refute him, "Senior brother, he...he..."

Fang Lansheng said with a very understanding look on his face, "At first I thought it was unbelievable, but that is your senior brother, the legendary first disciple of the sword-wielding elder in Tianyong City. And I also think that Shaogong can't like men, even if Do you like or don't you like that kind of cold and straight-faced person?"

"Brother is not as cold as you said, he is just not good at words." Baili Tusu said so, but he didn't know how to calm the shock in his heart.Brother and Mr. Ouyang are old acquaintances?And what about carrying them back home and staying in the same room until dawn? !

"When did that happen?"

After several confirmations, Baili Tusu and Fang Lansheng confirmed that that night seemed to be the night when his brother called him out and broke up unhappy.What happened after he left, why did the senior brother talk to Mr. Ouyang...

A myriad of clues entangled my heart, but none of them could be untied.
