Chapter 5. Phoenix
"You're pretty smart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Wherever, you are still quick with your eyes and hands, and your ears are bright."
"That's how we ......"
"Huh?"
"Isn't it a little strange that we're like this?"
“...... Are you sure it's just a little weird? ”
“..... So let's get up? ”
"No, the mechanism has already been seen. It's too dangerous to get up. ”
The two of them lay side by side on the dirt floor of the basement, and just now, they pried open the wooden plank that they had stepped on under their feet and hid underneath.
"You can't just lie like this all the time, can you?" She felt like her leg was numb.
"They won't be able to find anyone for a while, they must think that you have absconded at night, and then we will go down the mountain from the long stone road in the back mountain."
"It makes sense that their attention should be in the pine forest."
“......”
The long stone road is an extremely steep road in the mountain behind Songyu Temple. First of all, it's really long, and secondly, it's a bluestone staircase road overgrown with wild grass.
"Be careful, don't fall."
Ye Ci walked sideways in front, dragging the deep-rooted weeds on both sides, and under his feet was a cliff that would fall down if he made a wrong step.
"Why don't I light a fire for you?" Seeing him like this, Xie Huan felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Don't, the grass on both sides is taller than yours, and neither of us can run in case it catches fire."
"Then I'll hold it. It's too dangerous for you to do this. ”
"Want to be a live target?"
“...... That's it. "Of course, Xie Huan is not confused.
"What are your plans for coming down the mountain?" Ye Ci was embarrassed to see that no one was embarrassed, and asked casually to change the topic.
"What can I do? There is no difference between Songyu Temple and the Xie family at all. ”
"People dig a dark room, and you think about digging a cave." Ye Ci smiled at the moonlight, "I really don't plan to?" ”
Xie Huan smiled casually, "You said yes, then there is." ”
"Where?"
"Three hundred miles east of Wanping, Da Mo City, Changsu Street, Ayou Lane."
Ye Ci twitched the corners of his mouth, "What a need." ”
Xie Huan laughed, reached into his arms and took out a pegstone, and shook it in front of the green-shirted boy's eyes.
Ye Ci took it with one hand, jumped twice on the soles of his feet, jumped to the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, and raised his hand to look carefully at the moonlight for a long time.
This stone is dark cyan, sprinkled with a little golden light, but at the bottom of the seal carved a small "Qiao" character with the official script.
Ye Ci's expression changed drastically, "You mean-Immortal Pavilion?!" ”
The two quietly changed into black clothes at the foot of the mountain, Xie Huan put on a black gauze and hat, and the two galloped all the way through the starry night, or on foot instead of car, or riding together, and even hid among the beggars and homeless people when they had to.
Finally, he arrived safely at the door of the Immortal Pavilion after ten years.
The main building is a two-story pavilion that looks simple on the outside, the wood is ordinary wood, and the stone is ordinary stone. Look down and see the steps, look up at the plaque, the black lacquer plaque on the three thick Lishu characters, the word slot is introverted gold, silkworm head swallowtail, front press back pick, faintly and revealing flying and reckless - Changsheng Pavilion.
Ye Ci glanced at disdain, "Vulgar!" ”
Xie Huan glared at him.
"Whether it's the immortal who caresses me on the top and gives me immortality, or the immortality of 'the hall of eternal life on the seventh day of July, when no one whispers in the middle of the night', it's quite vulgar anyway. Don't you think? ”
"I think people hear it." Xie Huan twitched the corners of his mouth.
She and Ye Ci stepped up the steps one after the other, and in front of the door, there were two maids of similar size on the left and on the right, wearing plain white gauze clothes, but their appearance was not as stunning as Xie Huan had imagined.
Xie Huan took a few steps closer and handed the stone pendant in his hand to one of them.
Not at all, as if waiting for a long time, the maid turned into the cabinet and motioned for the two to follow.
The ground under his feet is as black as a lacquer plaque, and there are white gauze curtains hanging in all directions, which are long and mopping the floor, and the eyes here are full of black and white, but it looks like a mourning hall.
It seems that it should not be immortality.
The maid took the two of them all the way to the inner room on the second floor, where there was a rosewood table, two chairs, a quince chessboard, and a box of white jade chess pieces.
There was no wind around the veil, and a young man holding a sunspot sat on one of the chairs.
Xie Huan couldn't help but look at it, this young man had hairpins in his hair, his eyebrows were deep, and he was shiny, embedded in his thin moon-like face, his lips were slightly thin and red, and he looked like a good woman. The white brocade on his body is embroidered with intricate cloud-shaped dark lines with silver thread, and his demeanor is like a jade tree, like a pampered aristocratic son.
The golden purple of the sunset outside the window penetrated through the layers of white veils and scattered on the placket of the young man's eyebrows, plating a layer of warm color for him.
The young man picked up a blue lake-colored secret porcelain tea bowl, sipped Yangxian tea lightly, and motioned for her to sit down opposite.
As soon as Xie Huanfu sat down, the young man put down the tea bowl, held a sunspot, and stretched it out in her direction.
"Smack."
The sunspot falls on the fifth five.
Ye Ci's eyelids jumped behind her.
Xie Huan was surprised.
Starting with a five-five game is not entirely impossible. If you don't understand it at all, you are extremely confident in your chess skills.
The purpose of the Fifth Five-Year Plan is to fight, repair the plank road, and change the day.
Xie Huan laughed.
She took a white child, slowly stretched out her hand, and firmly buckled it at the intersection of the nineteenth road.
Ye Ci's eyelids jumped again, and he raised his eyes and stared at the battle situation where there were only two seeds.
- She actually had a second subordinate in Tianyuan?! What are these two doing? Are you crazy?
"Take control of all sides, carry all directions." The young man in white shook the lake-colored tea bowl in his hand and took a sip, "Miss Xie, your chess skills are good." ”
Xie Huan sweated behind his back, leading the topic away, "Since the pavilion master knows my identity, he must also understand the purpose of our coming here. ”
The young man smiled, relaxed his posture and leaned back again, "Killing people pays for life, why should I protect you?" Is it because you saved Li Baiqiao's life? ”
As if he suddenly remembered something interesting, the young man held his forehead with his fingers and smiled, "And it's not what you want to save, right?" It's your girl who cried, and you were afraid of alarming others and getting into trouble. ”
The maid put the lapis lazuli engraved with the word "Joe" back in her hand.
Xie Huan was silent, rubbing the lines of the lettering, and secretly pondering countermeasures in his heart.
This man knows everything, and lying is not a good idea.
The eyes reside on a chessboard with only two pieces, black in five or five, and white in Tianyuan.
She decisively untied the Spring Water Sword and placed it on the chessboard, as if she was taking a crucial move.
"I have heard that the former Ji clan, the last prince Huaixuan cast a sword and three swords. Since the pavilion master attaches so much importance to Li Baiqiao's Meng Zhan Sword, if you think about it, you won't reject my Spring Water Sword from the same origin, right? ”
- Confusing the situation? You might as well go it alone.
"With a sharp blade, the murderous intent arises." The boy didn't even move his eyelids.
Xie Huan grinned and pulled out the spring water with a bang.
The maid straightened up and stared at her hand warily. The young man in white didn't even move, still smiling at the corner of his mouth, studying the color of the tea in the cup.
Xie Huan stretched out his hand to Ye Ci behind him, "Don't hide it?" ”
"Okay, just your sharp eyes." Ye Ci was quite helpless.
As he muttered, he pulled out a half-arm-length white radish with his hands folded from his sleeve.
The two sang and harmonized, inexplicably wonderful, and the young man finally raised his eyes.
Xie Huan looked calm, sat sideways, didn't look at the master and servant opposite, took care of himself and peeled the radish, and after cutting it, he held it in his hand and cut it, crackling white radish pieces flew all over the sky.
Ye Ci was not surprised, he fished two pieces in the air casually, and tasted them slowly and methodically in his hand, which was more delicate than the tea tasting by the young man in white.
The maid was dumbfounded.
Xie Huan also chewed a piece in his mouth, and handed the "leftovers" in his hand to the young man's eyes, his mouth was vague, "Come on?" ”
The boy felt that the corners of his forehead were bruised, as if he was a little cheerful.
She retracted her hand, ate the food in her mouth clean, and turned back to Ye Ci to complain, "It's chaff." ”
"Why do you blame me? It's been too long, and the weather has been dry for the past two days. ”
“......”
The young man in white couldn't help but touch his forehead with his hand, "Spring water is a peerless sword, if the prince of the Ji family knows about it, if he sees you...... Use it to peel turnips ......"
"The amount of talent is the strength of the cabinet master. The blade is in hand, and how to use it is also determined by the mind of the owner of the sword. Spring water is to Xie Huan, presumably just like Xie Huan is to the pavilion master. ”
Spring is still early, the sky is getting late, the wisps of cold slowly invade the pavilion, the young man took a hand stove from the maid's hand, slowly rubbed it, the heat in the hand warmer along the ten fingers and palms, all the way into his throat, so that the young man's originally slightly cold voice became warm and soft.
"Miss Xie, in Xia Shen Qinglin, I am glad to meet."
