It was getting late, the night breeze was rising, and the dark clouds were so low that they seemed to fall from the dome at any moment, crushing the heavens and the earth.

"It's going to snow. Outside the Spirit Pagoda of the White Horse Academy, Cao Tongyun took the wine gourd from the back of the yellow dog beside him, drank it on his back, and said in his mouth.

Chu Qi, who was sitting beside him, quietly stretched out his hand, carefully trying to take the wine jug from the old man's hand. It was only when his fingertips touched the edge of the gourd, and the yellow dog who was squatting on the ground, wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue, suddenly changed his appearance, grinned at Chu Qi, his whole body arched, and a low roar came out of his throat.

Chu Qi withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted at that time, stared at the yellow dog viciously, and scolded angrily: "You white-eyed wolf, you forgot that I fed you snake meat three years ago!"

"That snake meat can make my family Ah Huang languishing for a month. Cao Tongyun on the side glanced at Chu Qi with slanted eyes, and said unhurriedly.

The look of indignation on Chu Qi's face dissipated at that time, and he waved his hand wryly, and said, "Is that so? That may be undercooked......

"Wangwang!" Ah Huang let out a rapid dog bark, as if he was reprimanding Chu Qi's nonsense. Chu Qi was also a little weak in Ah Huang's angry reprimand, he shrunk his neck and muttered in a low voice: "Why are you so stingy." ”

Cao Tongyun helplessly glanced at his talented junior brother, but his mind made others unable to figure it out, and then he stretched out his hand and waved it at Ah Huang. Ah Huang was a little reluctant in his heart, but at the signal of the old man, he finally put away the dog barking and squatted quietly to the other side, but the eyes that looked at Chu Qi were still "murderous".

"Tell me honestly, does your sealing of the sword today have anything to do with what you saw in the Star Dou Temple three years ago?" Cao Tongyun asked, his brows furrowed tightly, this old man who was usually free and easy, his eyes were full of worry at that time.

Chu Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't see anything, and the ancestral sword didn't respond to me. ”

Chu Qi said very easily, but as soon as the words fell, Cao Tongyun calmly came to a conclusion: "You are lying!"

"Fellow disciples, don't you have any trust at all?" Chu Qi's face once again showed indignation.

"After so many years, you still can't let go of her?" Cao Tongyun didn't pay attention to the exaggerated acting skills of Chu Qi.

Chu Qi was stunned for a moment, the indignant look on his face suddenly converged at that time, he turned his head to look at Cao Tongyun, and asked with some confusion: "Senior brother, why do you say we want to practice?"

This is not a very new question, and most monks in this world should have asked themselves and others such questions.

And the answer in everyone's heart is very different, perhaps it is precisely because of the unified standard of the answer to this question that it has been mentioned repeatedly, so it has also made Cao Tongyun fall silent when he heard the words.

After a long while, Cao Tongyun raised his head and took a sip of the sake in the gourd, then looked at the front and whispered: "Do what you can, do what you should do." ”

Hearing this, Chu Qi turned his head to look at the old man, and he said, "Senior brother, this is a good thing, but here in Chu Qi, this has to be added." ”

"What?" Cao Tongyun asked.

Chu Qi grinned: "Obsessiveness." ”

"I don't want to forget her, so I'm going to try my best to remember her. Chu Qi said this, and his voice suddenly decreased: "I'm just ashamed...... Zongmen. ”

When he said this, he was probably ready to be scolded by Cao Tongyun for a while, but he waited not to scold, but a hand that was stretched out, and the wine gourd that had been opened in his hand.

The aroma of wine overflowed along the mouth of the gourd, lingering on the tip of the nose of the seventh month, making the seventh day stunned at that time.

"Good wine!" But soon, the seventh day of the first month who reacted was like a starving ghost reincarnated, snatched the wine gourd from Cao Tongyun's hand, raised his head and drank it, and shouted in his mouth.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen her look like yet?" the old man sighed, his eyes straight ahead, as if recalling some kind of past.

"Yes, but you forgot. Chu Qi said with a smile.

"Really, what did I say at the time?" Cao Tongyun seemed to be surprisingly infected, and laughed at that time.

"You! I beat my chest and hated myself for not being twenty years younger. "The seventh day of the first month has a pretentious word.

Just finished speaking, Cao Tongyun kicked him hard in the back, and Chu Qi fell to the ground in response to a vicious dog pounce, but Rao is so embarrassed man still shouted: "Yes! You kicked me like this at the beginning! It was jealousy that made you unrecognizable!"

Cao Tongyun didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's clamour, so he stood up at that time, walked to the spirit pagoda behind him, and looked at the only Tianzi-level spirit gathering array in Ningzhou.

Chu Qi carefully cleaned the dust on the blue velvet robe on his body, seeing that the expression on his face seemed to be extremely distressed about the stains on the velvet robe, he took care of it for a long time, and after making sure that he had cleaned up all the stains outside, he looked at Cao Tongyun who was standing outside the Lingling Pagoda with satisfaction.

"What the hell do you say that kid is doing?" Cao Tongyun asked with a frown.

"Who knows? This kid is more troublesome than his father, and God knows what he's going to think in his head. Chu Qi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "But the only thing that is certain is that it should be a big deal, and it can turn this swallow land upside down." ”

Speaking of this, the tone of the seventh year of the first month became a little strange, and there was a feeling that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

"Hmph, like his father, he can't do it. Cao Tongyun snorted coldly, a little annoyed.

"But that's the charm of these guys, isn't it?" said Chu Qi.

Cao Tongyun was noncommittal about this, he took out something from his arms and stuffed it into Chu Qi's arms: "I have something to go out of the city, and I will come back tomorrow, you give this thing to that kid." ”

Chu Qi looked down at the thing in his arms, but it was a rubbing book with "Tiangang Zhengjing" written in big characters, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "This thing can also be shown to him?"

"Those three boys have been watching it for a day today. Cao Tongyun said unhurriedly.

Chu Qi's heart jumped, and his tone became strange: "Our Tiangang Mountain has been a little downtrodden recently, but it won't reach the point where you want to give away the sect so easily, right?"

"It's just a method of introductory spirits, it can't be regarded as a masterpiece, and whether they can understand it depends on their own chance, so it should be a gift from Tiangang Mountain to the place where they will die. If they have gained, it can be regarded as a good relationship. Cao Tongyun said this, the sword box behind him trembled violently, and a flying sword escaped and fell into his feet, and the old man who was full of wine stepped on the flying sword at that time and fled away.

......

"Boy, what did the little girl of the Xu family tell you today? What do I think when he left, his brother's face was ugly as if he had drunk horse urine...... You won't be in the tower......" Chu Qi, who was walking side by side with Wei Lai, squeezed his eyebrows vigorously beside Wei Lai.

There was a light snow in the sky, and Wei Lai, who couldn't resist the increasingly dirty rhetoric of the seventh day of the first month, lowered his head and hurried away, wanting to return home early before the snow fell.

His steps were extremely fast, and he trotted all the way to follow on the seventh day of the first month, and soon returned to the courtyard gate of the ancestral house.

But Wei Lai, who walked quickly to the steps in front of the ancestral house, was stunned suddenly, his body froze in place, and Chu Qi, who was chattering behind Wei Lai for a moment, saw Wei Lai stop, and thought that he had guessed something, and immediately smiled: "You little guys are thin-skinned, it doesn't matter, your seventh uncle is from here, and he understands it." ”

Chu Qi said this and went up and patted Wei Lai on the shoulder, with the posture of an elder preaching to a junior.

But Wei Lai still stood in place without moving, Chu Qi was secretly strange, and at this moment, he looked up and couldn't help but be stunned in place.

He really remembered that the door of the Wei Mansion looked tall and wide, but it was actually in disrepair, although after Wei Lai returned, he took care of the façade and cleaned up the dust on it. However, it has not been maintained for many years, so that there are many cracks on the door that have been eroded by the years and rot marks that have been soaked by rainwater. But at this moment, the door in front of you is very different from the Wei Mansion Gate in the memory of the first seven years, the door is obviously new, it is painted with bright red paint, whether it is the color of the wood used, or the workmanship of the gate itself, and the carved lines on the door, all reveal an atmosphere, obviously expensive, and the plaque with the word Wei Fu written on the door has also been replaced with a new one, the Wei Mansion is carved with a pen and a snake, in one go, obviously from everyone's hands. As for the renovated doorposts on both sides, the red lanterns hanging high, and the lion and tiger statues built of white jade, all make this ruined mansion gate look like another realm at the moment.

"Are we going wrong?" Chu Qi blinked, and said with some uncertainty.

Wei Lai frowned, and did not answer the question of the seventh year, but the deep doubts in his eyes also revealed the uncertainty in the young man's heart at this moment.

Bang dang!

But at this moment, the door of the mansion in front of him suddenly opened by itself, and nearly 100 figures were in the door, divided into two groups of men and women, lined up one after another. Wei Lai and Chu Qi didn't expect such a change, and they both subconsciously took a step back behind them, but before they could react, more than 100 men and women in the two rows of men and women all bowed down to Wei Lai at that time, shouting: "Hello uncle!"

Chu Qi looked at the situation in front of him, and looked at the door of the mansion, the changes in the mansion that should have been empty at this moment can be described as earth-shaking, whether it is the flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere, potted plants, or the doors that are being repaired or are being repaired, all revealing a new vitality.

Chu Qi couldn't help muttering to himself, "Boy...... Looks like you didn't just do that...... The eldest lady is very satisfied......"
