"Ding ding......" The mobile phone rang again, Xu Xing glanced down and hung up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's Wu Xi, right? Why don't you answer her phone? Two monks asked him as they crouched on the railing on the edge of the cliff.

Xu Xing didn't answer, just quietly looked at the mountains in front of him, and let the wind blow his clothes crackling.

"Okay, didn't I tell you that I'm fine, why do I have to make a special trip back?" An old man in a Taoist uniform walked out of the room, he was over half a hundred years old, with a weather-beaten face and two deep-set eyes.

Seeing him come out, the two monks hurriedly tiptoed against the wall and walked out.

"Master," Xu Xing walked over to the old man and bowed his hands respectfully, "Why did you get up so early?" If you are not feeling well, you should rest more. ”

"I'm fine, it's just that this old injury occasionally recurs in the winter, but it's you," Yu Banshan glanced at Xu Xing, his eyes like a torch, "Has something happened around me recently?" ”

Xu Xing lowered his head, "No, it's just that I haven't come back to see you for a long time." By the way, master, I found a seal a few days ago," he took out a peach box from his luggage and handed it to Yu Banshan, "This is used to seal the snake repair, what do you see?" ”

Yu Banshan took out the scroll and spread it out and studied it carefully, "The Great Jin Ming King Seal is indeed a long-lost secret treasure of my Taoist family, and the snake cultivation has been sealed by it for thousands of years, which is enough to prove its strength." ”

"In addition to subduing demons and subduing demons, will it have an effect on ordinary humans?"

Yu Banshan was silent, he looked at his disciple for a long time, although he repeatedly denied it, but he was sure that he must have encountered something that could not be solved, otherwise, with his character, he would never be so secretive and stop talking, and he would not have made a special trip to Ying Tianshan to seek inner peace. So what was it that made him feel like he was making waves? Or was he trying to avoid someone?

After a long time, Yu Banshan finally spoke: "I don't know much about its power, after all, it's just a legendary magic weapon, and it is unknown whether it may have an impact on some humans." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was a lot more relaxed, and there was a rare smile on his face, intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Banshan's heart sank, and he walked out with his sleeves brushed up, he looked like this now, exactly the same as last time, okay, are you going to push yourself into the abyss of no return again?

Wu Xi walked out of the unit building with a tired face with a bag on her back, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she found those female colleagues standing together in groups of three or five, pointing outside and whispering.

"See? More handsome than a star? ”

"Those long legs are just against the sky."

Wu Xi easily squeezed out of the crowd, looked in the direction of their fingers, and saw a young man leaning against the wall, boredly kicking the ground with his feet. Seeing her come out, the man grinned: "HappyBirthday, where are you going to celebrate today?" ”

Wu Xi was stunned, "Liu Shi? ”

Wu Xi pulled Liu Shi out of the sight of the crowd before stopping, "How do you know it's my birthday?" What else? How did you know about my unit? ”

"Forgotten? You said it yourself when you were drunk. ”

"Am I telling you this?" Wu Xi tried his best to recall, but he couldn't remember what he said that day?

"That day, you seemed to think of me as another man, and told me a lot of yes and no, and you asked me why I didn't answer the phone? Why don't you even say hello when your birthday comes? You still say......"

"Alright, let's stop." Wu Xi's face flushed, fortunately it wasn't Xu Xing that day, otherwise she wouldn't have died of embarrassment.

"You...... Do you like him? ”

"Of course not," Wu Xi replied categorically, "He is my roommate, but I seem to have provoked him recently, so he doesn't answer my phone." ”

"Why do you want him so much from this kind of small-bellied chicken intestine? Let's go, I'll take you to a good place. ”

"Where?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Wu Xi followed Liu Shi all the way to an abandoned house in the suburbs.

"Where is this?" Wu Xi looked at the antique buildings with red walls and green tiles around him and asked him.

"It was originally the ancestral residence of an official in the Qing Dynasty, but it was later bought by a wealthy merchant and renovated as his residence. But ten years ago, the wealthy businessman was investigated for financial problems and later imprisoned, so the house was abandoned here. ”

"And what are you bringing me here for?"

"Come in with me." As he spoke, Liu Shi pulled Wu Xi into the gate, and they followed the rugged stone path through the layers of courtyards to the end of the courtyard. Walking into the courtyard, Wu Xi was surprised, it was obviously a cold winter day, but it was full of flowers, all kinds of flowers were blooming colorfully, exuding a honey-like richness, making people smoke and intoxicated, as if this courtyard was another world.

"It's so beautiful here," Wu Xi praised, "but how did you do it?" It's freezing ...... tomorrow and tomorrow."

"We are landscape architecture students, and these flowers are the result of our experiments."

"We?" As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that more than a dozen graceful figures flashed out of the thousands of flowers, they were both men and women, but all of them were charming and moving, just like these brilliant flowers behind them.

"It's all my friends, I specially invited them to come over to celebrate your birthday," Liu Shi said and snapped his fingers at the crowd, "The dance has begun." ”

"Prom? What prom? But before she could think about it, she was already dragged into the sea of flowers by Liu Shi. Wu Xi was originally a person who couldn't dance, but under the drive of Liu Shi, he gradually integrated into the rhythm and danced to his rhythm. She had never been to such a strange "ball," which had no music, but everyone seemed to be directed by an invisible hand, and everyone stepped on the same beat, twisting their slender waists briskly.

Liu Shi's hand was a little harder, and he actually pulled Wu Xi, who was not standing firm, into his arms, Wu Xi just wanted to break free, but a cup of mellow juice appeared in front of him, Liu Shi handed her the cup, "Tired, sit down and drink something." He pulled Wu Xi to sit down on the stones in the garden.

"What is this?"

"Fruit wine."

Wu Xi tasted it, "It's so sweet." So she drank the clear liquid from it.

Wu Xi secretly looked at Liu Shi's eyes through the cup, but he didn't expect him to be staring at himself, Wu Xi didn't avoid his eyes, no matter what, just look at it, anyway, today is her birthday, no matter what you do on your birthday, you can be forgiven, so just be presumptuous. But why did her head get groggy again, just like she was in the taxi with Liu Shi that day?

In a trance, she saw Liu Shi leaning his face over and getting closer and closer to her, "Say, why did you approach him?" But Wu Xi couldn't hear this, because her body was weak and she fell on the big rock behind her.
