In the evening, after the meal, everyone gathered in the meditation room to discuss the next course of action. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gu Jinse, who had just lost his sister, was comforted by Leng Hongye, and fell asleep after taking a dose of tranquilizer.
Gongzi Xuan has not been in the meditation room since he went up the mountain, as if he was deliberately avoiding it, and his injuries were also taken care of by Leng Hongye, until the medicine was delivered, she was able to sit in the meditation room where everyone gathered for a while.
And Li Mobai, the old man of the divine soldier and the others were sitting idly at the table, each looking at their apprentices, their faces were very solemn.
It was only because of the decision made by Duan Qingcheng that they were really relieved, and she wanted to enter the palace again, waiting for her old enemy to appear. Although Situ Yuntian will definitely go to the palace, with Allure's current martial arts, no one dares to guarantee that she will still survive in the face of a master like Situ Yuntian.
More than two masters, even Jiang Xiaolou was confused, he looked at the good senior sister in front of him with some fear, and said in disbelief: "According to what you mean...... I'm going to trespass on you to the palace again? ”
"Of course not." She said: "The imperial court opened a martial arts department this time to recruit military generals, but anyone who wins the top ten in the martial arts examination can enter the imperial city in a bright and bright way." ”
When Jiang Xiaolou heard that he was going to fight, he was even more unsure, he said: "There are so many masters in the world, what if we lose ......?"
"With your light skills and internal strength, it's not so easy to lose." Duan Qingcheng smiled and said, "It's people who should be worried, it should be me." ”
"Not really." The old man who was silent on the side heard her words and didn't seem to approve of it.
Everyone sitting was waiting for his next step, but he was not in a hurry to answer, but he raised the wine gourd in his hand unhurriedly, waited for him to take a sip of wine, and said drunkenly: "Strong people have weaknesses, and sometimes, strength itself is also weakness...... The level of martial arts cannot determine the final success or failure, strong people always like to fill themselves, and not so strong people know how to go with the flow and know how to leave room for themselves. So, don't think about anything, just let it be......"
"I wrote it down, thank you, Master." Duan Chengcheng bowed her head silently, although she didn't understand much, but there must be some truth in it, so she could only write it down for the time being.
"Well, this time I learned to be obedient, and I didn't shout wrong." The old man shook his head with satisfaction and smiled, if she shouted again, he should teach him a lesson.
"Wait...... I have one more question! Jiang Xiaolou said suddenly.
Duan Qingcheng looked back at him, "What's the problem?" ”
He was surprised: "You won't ask me to pretend to be a woman again this time, will you?" I won't do that killing! ”
"......" As soon as he said this, it made Li Mobai angry and funny, this apprentice doesn't grow up, it doesn't matter, he is not so ignorant and has no common sense, it is really helpless.
Duan Chengcheng was speechless for a while, and hung him for a moment before saying: "It's rare that you still want to pretend to be a woman, but unfortunately, women are not allowed to enter the martial arts examination, not only do you not have to pretend to be a woman this time, but even I have to become a man." ”
"That's good......" Jiang Xiaolou patted his chest, comforted Duan Qingcheng in a blink of an eye, patted the table and said, "It's not easy for you to become a man?" If you put on that man's garment, who would dare to say that you are a woman? ”
When Duan Qingcheng heard this, her face stiffened slightly, she looked at Jiang Xiaolou with a smile, and said, "Are you praising me......
"Phew, I owe it, I didn't make it clear." Jiang Xiaolou immediately added: "Of course I'm praising you!" You're the best-looking of any man, really ......."
"......" Duan Chengcheng was speechless for a while, his praise really made her sound wrong, but Jiang Xiaolou had always been like this, she was also used to his hippie smile, and she was also used to his nonsense.
But his appearance like this also made her feel very relieved, and he Jiang Xiaolou was the only one by her side, from beginning to end, as always, it has never changed......
It was night, and the half-moon was floating on the branches, and the wind and dew were getting colder.
In one corner of the Zen courtyard, a red maple tree is like fire, and a thin layer of frost is sprinkled on the maple leaves.
Everyone had already slept, but Duan Qingcheng sat alone in front of the porch, looking at the moon in the sky, looking at himself.
She took off the mask on her face, the wound exposed in the moonlight, but she didn't seem to care.
For her now, there is nothing more worthy of care than life and death, just a pair of skins, there is no difference between beauty and ugliness.
On her right hand side rested her knife, and on the empty stairs beside her left hand was placed a jar of wine, which she had stolen from her master, and with which she drank and drunk herself alone in the dead of night.
Tomorrow is the day to go down the mountain to the competition examination room, from tomorrow until everything is over, whether it is life or death, success or failure, she will not have such a presumptuous opportunity again. But this last meal of wine was never accompanied by anyone again......
Just as she was thinking this, a dark shadow crept up to her in the dim moonlight, and sat down on the stairs not far from her.
"I heard that you're going down the mountain tomorrow, it seems to be true." He said.
"What is really fake...... she didn't look back, picked up the wine jar and took a sip, it was spicy, but she pretended to be calm: "You deliberately avoided meeting me these days, and now you are willing to come?" ”
When Gongzi Xuan heard this, he didn't know whether it was bitter or happy. Just looked at her thin silhouette, and smiled abruptly: "What you say sounds funny, isn't it that you deliberately avoided me?" ”
"I didn't mean to avoid you." She turned around and glanced at him, but saw that his face was still pale, and her heart suddenly felt a little more guilty, and she said, "Momiji said that your injuries need to be recuperated." ”
When Gongzi Xuan heard this, he added a little warmth to his heart, and his eyes did not leave the person beside him for a moment, "It seems that I should be happy, how much do you care, or do you care about my ......"
"It doesn't matter if you don't care now." She shook her head and chuckled, with three points of drunkenness, looked at him sideways, and said lightly: "I'm going, I don't know the danger and the blessing, you are injured, take care of yourself." ”
"It's so rare, are you saying goodbye to me?" He asked.
Duan Qingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but he couldn't help but smile lightly, "You think so, that's it." ”
She turned her gaze sideways, ignored him, tilted her head slightly, looked at the moon in the sky, and took another sip of the jar of liquor next to her.
Gongzi Xuan took advantage of the situation to intercept her hand, and when she was surprised, he took away the wine jar in her hand and took a sip, the unique spicy and aromatic flow between her lips and teeth.
"You ......" Duan Chengcheng wanted to say something, with his current injury, it was not suitable to drink, but she didn't know how to speak, seeing that he drank his own wine, if Hongye knew, it was estimated that he would be taught a lesson.
"Where did this wine come from?" Gongzi Xuan gave birth to her quite meaningfully, if he guessed correctly, this wine was specially obtained by the old man of the divine soldier the day before yesterday on the first floor of the world, the old man is such a precious thing, there are not many, she actually stole a whole jar.
When she heard this, she frowned unhappily and said, "It's none of your business, return the wine to me......"
Seeing that her cheeks were slightly flushed and she was already drunk, Gongzi Xuan was not in a hurry to return the wine to her, but only looked at her quietly, with a little affection in her eyes.
I think that when she was in the palace before, she was inexplicably drunk, she didn't even recognize anyone, she didn't hesitate to kill people, but she was as delicate and willful as a child, if she drank too much today, I am afraid that she will not be able to leave tomorrow even if she wants to......
"Actually, you don't have to." He looked at her worriedly, "The righteous path of martial arts and the safety of the world will be defended by someone, why do you want to push yourself into a desperate situation?" ”
When Duan Tingcheng heard this, she laughed unconsciously, and she said, "What is the right way to be safe, I am not that great...... I'm just avenging the annihilation of the clan, and by the way, I'm just doing his unfinished business for a person. ”
"Really?" Gongzi Xuan saw that her denial was very reasonable, so he didn't say more.
"Stop talking nonsense and give me back the wine." She stretched out her hand again, looking displeased, and wanted to retrieve the jar of wine from his hand, but the other party still had no intention of returning the wine, but grabbed her hand and dragged her over, bringing the distance between the two closer.
"What for!" She grabbed the knife that was sitting aside in a little dizziness, and threatened indiscriminately: "Don't play hooligan, let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you now......"
Gongzi Xuan just brought her closer, and did not make any other moves, but was made laugh by her words, he said: "I don't know whose credit it is, you are really getting more and more interesting to talk now." ”
Seeing that he was suddenly full of smiles, his handsome face added a little more to his posture, and Duan Chengcheng, who was drunk, looked at him, and finally didn't say anything, let him laugh.
She gave him a blank look, holding the knife she used for self-defense in her arms, and without alcohol, she could only look at the moon in the sky in a daze. And the person with a gentle smile next to him had no moonlight in his eyes, only her.
"Allure, promise me one thing." He said.
"What?"
"No matter what, you must live."
"This ...... I try my best. ”
Seeing that she responded, the tenderness in his eyes was even greater, and he said: "After all this is over, when you return safely, let's go to other places outside the rivers and lakes together, okay?" ”
When she heard this, her body stiffened slightly, and the hands holding the knife tightened again. She didn't turn to look at him, she still looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and the taste in her heart was already complicated.
After a long time, she finally nodded, "Okay." ”
