[Comprehensive] Proving the Way with the Sword

Lu Xiaofeng didn't pay attention to the situation of Tsing Yi Building after Huo Xiu's death. For him, with the death of those people, the Jinpeng Dynasty was completely over.It's just that the appearance of Gongsun Lan and the invisible person showed that there was an invisible black hand behind the Jinpeng Dynasty.

On the third day after Yun Shanyuan told about the incident from Uncle Guisun to Gongsun Lan, that is, on the day of Qixi Festival, Lu Xiaofeng received a reply from Zhu Ting, confirming that all the treasures in Qingyi Building were gone.

"First kill Uncle Guisun, cut off the possibility of knowing all the information of Jianghu, and then lure Jin Jiuling to death. In this way, at least within ten years, there will be no famous arrester on the same level as him in the six sects. No one is going to investigate those weird things.

Now, this person has pocketed Huo Xiu's huge wealth again, so he can do whatever he wants.Brother Yun, if he really came here for Xie Xiaofeng's heir, why didn't he come to you directly? "

"How do I know? Everyone has different ideas, and I'm not a worm in someone else's stomach, so how could I know everything."

Yun Shanyuan didn't notice the hostility of the person behind the scenes, but the absence of hostility doesn't mean friendliness, and even if he's friendly, it doesn't mean that he won't fight with swords. Anyway, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and every step counts.

Lu Xiaofeng said regretfully, "I thought you would be the one who would talk about everything in your life, and ask about the feudal marquis's greetings. It turns out that there are always things you don't know. Thinking about it this way, my mood has improved a lot. I can have a few more glasses of wine tonight."

Hua Manlou listened to the words of the two people. In fact, this matter was a bit tricky, but both of them took it easy, which is really impossible for ordinary people.

Lu Xiaofeng saw Hua Manlou's smile, he looked at the sky again, the lights were just coming up, the moon was on the branches, he should take his leave.

"Tonight is Qixi Festival, so I won't spoil the scenery. The beauty of the Qinhuai River is the only way to live up to it. You can also have fun tonight. Think about how long Ximen Chuuxue and Miss Sun have only known each other since Ximen Chuuxue is about to get married. How long have we known each other again. This simple account, can't trouble the two of you?"

Lu Xiaofeng waved to Yun Shanyuan and Hua Manlou, and smiled meaningfully, then left humming a little tune.As soon as he walked out of the Baihua Building, he heard Yun Shanyuan's sincere caring voice, "Brother Lu, you should also take care of your health, don't drink too much and fall into the river. Or if you accidentally cause a group of beauties to fight , You have to ask me to ask a doctor for a prescription. If Sikong Zaixing accidentally steals this prescription again, making everyone know what you made up, it would be unbeautiful."

Lu Xiaofeng staggered on his feet. Is there anyone so damaged that he would suffer from kidney deficiency due to excessive indulgence?

"Brother Hua, I'm talking about you. Do you dare to laugh louder! Isn't it just because of two people that you bully a loyal and honest friend like me? I really don't like people."

Hua Manlou heard Lu Xiaofeng's footsteps gradually drifting away, "With Brother Lu's character, it is possible to get drunk and fall into the river, but if there are many beauties competing, he will only pick one person out of a hundred. Xiao Yu, you Zhang’s prescription cannot be sent out.”

"I don't like to treat people, I just greet him routinely."

Yun Shanyuan just teased Lu Xiaofeng a few words, Lu Xiaofeng is romantic, but he is still very measured. "What about you, where do you want to go? In fact, the Yiqing Courtyard is very interesting. If Miss Ouyang is in Jinling City, it would be nice to have a beautiful company tonight. It's a pity that she went to the capital."

Huamanlou felt that it was a good thing for Lu Xiaofeng to go early, otherwise it might turn into two people going to the brothel tonight, and he had to be the accompanying guest going together.

"With my company, isn't it enough for you? Xiao Yu, you just told Brother Lu not to be greedy."

Hua Manlou asked naturally, and the implication was to let Yun Shanyuan stop thinking about other beauties. "There are many interesting places in the city tonight, you will not be bored."

Yun Shanyuan looked at Hua Manlou, and lightly poked his side face with his fingers, "Qitong, what did you learn with Brother Lu? He is sometimes confused, but do you think I will be confused?" ? I have always been single-minded, so I don't care about other beauties."

Huamanlou took Yun Shanyuan's hand and led her downstairs, "I understand, you have lived among thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching your body. We haven't had dinner yet, and what we are waiting for is the snacks in the city tonight You can order a small bowl of noodles first, try tonight's special Jiangmi noodles, and then buy some Qiaoguo."

In fact, Yun Shanyuan seldom goes shopping, let alone go out for a stroll during such festivals.

The last time I went shopping was the Dragon Boat Festival in my previous life, I walked with Qu Feiyan and Wang Lianhua.After that time, she knew she had no talent in this area.

Today, if she hadn't been willing to accompany Huamanlou willingly, she would have really felt that it would be more leisurely to sit on the chaise longue in Yiqingyuan, listen to music and dance, drink a few glasses of wine and watch the people coming and going on the street. "I can already hear the commotion outside, and it's not bad to have such a rare commotion."

Yun Shanyuan followed Huamanlou out of Baihualou, the street was already full of people, under the bright lights, men and women, old and young, all looked joyful.Tonight, men begging for wisdom, women begging for cleverness, married beggars, old beggars, and children are all dressed in bright clothes and playing in the streets and alleys with lotus leaves in their hands.

Huamanlou is very familiar with Jinling City, and is also very familiar with what kind of food will be served in which restaurant tonight.

He took Yun Shanyuan and ate a lot of snacks along the way, and when both of them felt almost [-]% full, he took Yun Shanyuan for a stroll in the city to digest food, and told her about the interesting things that happened in these alleys, and as soon as they left Just walked to the bank of the river.

Yun Shanyuan saw a small stall selling river lanterns on the bank. Most of the river lanterns were in the shape of lotus flowers, with a small candle burning in them.There are already many river lanterns in the river, and there are two or three people on the bank making wishes to the lanterns, and they are releasing the river lanterns one after another.

There is a Milky Way in the sky, and river lanterns are lit in the world, causing lotus flowers in the fire to bloom on the water, wandering in chaos of red, dark and green.

The people who release river lanterns are not limited to young men and women. Some pray for marriage, longevity and health, or academic success.This lamp carries people's beautiful dreams, and it is hoped that it can float to the entrance of the sky at the end of the water, so that God can fulfill one or two.

"Why don't we light one together?" Hua Manlou slightly lowered his head to look at Yun Shanyuan.

Yun Shanyuan saw that Hua Manlou had a slight smile on his face, but held her hand a little tighter. His mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface, and he should be looking forward to it.

She looked at the river lantern that disappeared with the water again, she knew that these wishes would not reach the sky, but in fact, if there is love, the sky will also grow old, and if there is no regret, love will fill the sky.

"Okay, let's light one." Even if Yun Shanyuan knew that Dao Dao is fifty, Tianyan is fourty-nine, and people should choose one, no matter how slim the chance of this one is, she is still willing to hope for it again. "What color river lantern do you want?"

Hua Manlou thought for a while and said, "There are no black ones, right? If there were black ones, the northern Bukong on the black lotus platform would become a Buddha, and he would be able to accomplish all Buddha-related things and sentient beings, making all deeds perfect. .”

Yun Shanyuan laughed softly when he heard the words, "Do you really believe it? If you believe it, I'll ask the boss to paint a black one."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. In fact, I think black is the color closest to the sky. If you touch the sky, you may get what you want." Hua Manlou said, black is also the color he is most familiar with. He doesn't really like black, but he doesn't have to hate it either.

Yun Shanyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with black. Only through the dense darkness can one see the light of happiness. She asked the boss to paint a black lotus with ink and put a candle in it.

The two lighted the candles together and put the river lantern into the river.

Although the river water was illuminated by the river lanterns that disappeared with the water, it was still dark in the night. Among the colorful river lanterns, Mo Lian was inconspicuous, and soon there would be no trace of it.However, what can be seen does not mean that it will be realized, and what is invisible does not mean that it will be annihilated.

After setting off the river lantern, Yun Shanyuan continued to follow Huamanlou.

Huamanlou took her away from the main street and walked into the alleys. The voices of the people gradually faded away. It wasn't too far away, but it became a bit blurred after a few streets. It seemed that in this world, only Get off both of them.

Then, Huamanlou stopped in a narrow alley, "Xiao Yu, do you still remember this place?"

Of course Yun Shanyuan remembered, she looked at the eaves on one side, the eaves had been refurbished, the teeth she threw up should be gone. "It's been 16 years in a flash, and you fell here that day, covering the sound of me throwing teeth. How did you make me forget?"

Hua Manlou also remembered that the fall was not light, but he didn't feel any pain at the time, who made him focus on the other person in the alley.

"It was also Qixi Festival that day. It was originally full of lanterns. Who would have thought that it would rain heavily. At that time, I was not good enough to listen to the sound and distinguish my position. When the rain was loud, I lost my direction and walked here after searching for a while. Now that I think about it, then It’s not that I lost my way, but that my heart found the best home.”

When Hua Manlou said this, he took out a suet jade bracelet from his bosom, and it looked warm, gorgeous, delicate and transparent.

"May I be like a star king like a moon, with bright lights every night." He gently held Yun Shanyuan's left hand, and his voice became softer, "Xiao Yu, can I put it on for you?"

Yun Shanyuan looked at Huamanlou who was close at hand, and saw the bright starlight in his eyes, like a galaxy flowing in it, which made her completely addicted, and hoped that she would not wake up after being drunk.

"Okay." After Yun Shanyuan said this word, she saw Hua Manlou smiled, making her feel that this moment seemed like eternity.She felt a chill on her wrist, and the inside of the bracelet was engraved with four words 'Xiao Yu Qi Tong', which should have been engraved by Hua Manlou herself.

Yun Shanyuan looked at Huamanlou, she tiptoed slightly and said, "Qitong, close your eyes."

Hua Manlou was puzzled, but she had already closed her eyes, and felt two gentle kisses on them.

His heart stopped for a beat, and he froze on the spot. At this moment, all the sounds around him receded like the tide, and he could only hear the heartbeats of the two, and then belatedly, his ears began to burn.

The next moment, Hua Manlou opened his eyes, and he heard Yun Shanyuan's light laughter.

At this moment, he was really regretful, he couldn't see Yun Shanyuan's smile, he couldn't see the happy expression on her face, he could only rely on his imagination.But this is enough, people can't be too greedy.

Yun Shanyuan hooked Hua Manlou's little finger, "Let's go, where else do you want to go? It's getting late, do you want to take me back to the inn?"

It's getting late.

However, Huamanlou didn't want to send Yun Shanyuan back to the inn tonight. "Come back to the small building with me, okay? I'll play the piano for you."

"Playing the piano now? Qitong, even if the sound of the piano at your fingertips is melodious, but it's late at night, you are not afraid of causing others to just listen to the piano and can't fall asleep?" Yun Shanyuan felt that Hua Manlou held her hand, She didn't say no to Xiaolou, "Play chess with me, it's been a long time since I played chess."

"Playing chess is also good." Hua Manlou smiled and nodded.In the next night's chess game, you can keep people overnight.He just wanted the two of them to stay in the small building tonight, quietly waiting for the dawn to come.

"Xiao Yu, when are you going to pinch another clay figurine so that the one in my room can be a pair?"

Yun Shanyuan remembered this incident, Hua Manlou hoped that she could make a clay figurine like her, "Just for a month or two, I will stay in Jinling to accompany you."

Hua Manlou also hoped that Yun Shanyuan would stay for a while, "It's good to accompany me, but what you said to brother Lu, don't you plan to investigate other clues? Actually, I can accompany you."

"Not yet. It's already the seventh day of July. After the fifteenth day of the eighth month, Ximen Chuuxue and Miss Sun's wedding will be in a few days, and I will go to Wanmei Villa to attend the wedding banquet. Before that, I don't want to go either. Running outside."

Yun Shanyuan thought about Ximen Chuuxue's wedding banquet, Shi Wu should come, and she wanted to ask something.
