Chapter 19: Senior Brother Accompany Me for a Ride
Zhu Xiuqi carried the longbow, ignoring the bleeding from the wound on his finger that was strangled by the bowstring, and said to Bu An: "Senior Brother Bu, last time you did the previous work of "Fixing the Storm" in the Dianxing Palace, I didn't see it, I thought that the three-step poem was just a beautiful word, but tonight I didn't know that it was better to see the rumors in person!"
Lou Xinyue also took a step towards Bu'an, folded her hands on her abdomen, bent her knees slightly, and performed a gentle and elegant woman's blessing gift. She didn't say anything, as if all the words of gratitude were contained in this shallow salute.
Fang Fei'er shook her head and said: "Senior Brother Bu is really good, it's not ordinary, it's a big deal!" It's just not good at all, it's obvious that the poetry is superb, so you have to pretend to be stupid!" After a pause, she smiled and said: "From now on, Senior Sister Lou's name will probably be famous all over the world with this "Partridge Heaven". After all, she is a female gentleman of Confucianism, and it is not difficult to hear the word card from Bu'an's broken sentences.
Lou Xinyue blushed and said: "Fei'er said that she laughed, this joy is not the other month, what Senior Brother Bu said in the words is next to the willow bank, and the moon of Lou Xinyue is feeling the impermanence of the evil moon......"
Fang Fei'er didn't refute either, sat down with a smile, shook her head and said: "Dance low in the heart of the willow building, and sing the peach blossom fan...... It's so beautiful. As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Bu'an.
"I didn't write it, I heard it. Bu An was still the same, and spread his hands and said, "Do you think I am such a rough person, can I write such a beautiful sentence?"
Zhu Xiuqi walked to the table and put down the longbow, sighed lightly, "Senior Brother Bu......" and stopped talking. Lou Xinyue and Fang Fei'er both looked at him suspiciously, obviously hearing his soft sigh, a little off-string.
Song Qing had seen a similar scene in front of the Star Hall earlier, and he was a little surprised, so he picked up the dinner plate that had been put on the ground before, grabbed a piece of cold pork belly with his bare hands and stuffed it into his mouth, licked his greasy fingers, and muttered: "What's so fragrant? It can be more fragrant than meat, and it is more beautiful than wine?"
Su Su squatted beside him, grabbing meat from his bowl and eating it, completely forgetting the humiliating appearance of being frightened by the ghost just now.
Bu An listened to Zhu Xiuqi's tone, guessing that he must have sighed for his own troubles, but he couldn't figure out how he knew that there was only one night in between. He didn't want to get involved in this topic, so he said indignantly: "Senior brother, I don't think the people in this town are good things, I know that there are powerful ghosts that harm people, but they trick us to send us to death." ”
Song Qingtou casually replied, "That's it", changed the plate in his hand, and continued to deal with those leftovers with Su Su.
Zhu Xiuqi looked at the four closed wooden doors under the lantern, frowned, and said, "Maybe the villagers don't know how terrifying this ghost is." ”
Fang Fei'er said softly: "I don't think it may be...... The senior brother asked how evil spirits hurt people, but they avoided the important and only picked up the irrelevant ones. ”
Lou Xinyue saw that Zhu Xiuqi was a little embarrassed, so he persuaded: "It's just some poor people." Tonight, we killed this terrible ghost, and it can be regarded as a good deed, and if we ask it afterwards, it seems that we have no grace and lose the face of the academy. ”
Fang Fei'er nodded and stopped talking.
Bu An knew that Zhu Xiuqi was a righteous gentleman, Lou Xinyue married a chicken with a chicken, so he naturally wanted to speak according to his wishes, at this time, it was useless to say anything, so he pretended to be indifferent and nodded, and said: "Senior Sister Lou, was this ghost really killed by us? Doesn't it mean that a hundred ghosts can't be killed?"
"That's right, it's endless. Zhu Xiuqi helped explain: "But this powerful ghost is scattered, and it won't be able to gather in three or five years, and maybe the evil moon will be gone by then." He was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he beckoned everyone to clean up briefly and hurry into the house to rest.
Song Qing agreed, and at the same time, he hurriedly swept the dried fruits into his bag, and Su Su saw that he couldn't grab him, so he had to grab some in his hand.
The group put the wine cups and saucers back on the table, and went to the alley where the rich family was located.
Walking past the place where the ghost was shot before, Bu An suddenly snorted. A chilling chill crept through the back of his hand, domineering through his entire arm, swimming along a certain vein or meridian, and in the blink of an eye, it burrowed into his lower abdomen.
"Senior Brother Bu, are you okay?" Zhu Xiuqi asked with concern when he saw him standing still with a stunned expression. Lou Xinyue and Fang Fei'er also looked at Bu An nervously, but Song Qing pouted and said, "I'm afraid it's not going to scare us again, right?"
While trying hard to squeeze the dried fruit in his hand, Su Su knocked Bu'an's arm with his fist and said, "Childe...... What's wrong with you?"
The coolness in Bu'an's body had disappeared out of thin air, as if it had been swallowed by something in his dantian, or dissipated by the warm body temperature in his abdomen. But suddenly there was such an abnormality, he didn't dare to be careless, and asked nervously: "Wish...... I wish my senior brother ...... Have you ever heard of the Ghost Body?"
Song Qing immediately pointed at Bu'an and complained to Zhu Xiuqi: "Look! I know that he is going to scare me again!"
Zhu Xiuqi smiled: "I've heard of ghosts, but they are all frail or dying people, and those who are on the body of ghosts will look like crazy demons, how can there be such a calm junior brother?"
Bu An was puzzled, trying to catch the remaining strangeness in his lower abdomen, and vaguely felt an extremely faint coolness, and as soon as his mind moved, the coolness swam in his body with his will, but it was far from being as fast and domineering as when he got in just now, and he walked unimpeded.
A hint of surprise rose in his heart, thinking that this might be the benefit he got from the "dead" ghost just now, but he knew that this kind of thing could not be talked about, so he said casually: "I wish senior brother, I have something to ...... Can you walk with me?"
In fact, he wanted to walk along this street alone to see if those "dead ghosts" had left any other benefits, but it was too terrible to walk alone at night, so he had to pull Zhu Xiuqi temporarily.
Zhu Xiuqi misunderstood Bu An, thinking that he was finally still depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to, so he asked Lou Xinyue and the others to rest first and stay alone with him.
Su Su didn't know whether she cared about Bu'an, or didn't dare to go back to the house alone, pestering and refusing to leave. Bu An had no choice but to take her with him.
The three of them walked in the pale red moonlight, and Zhu Xiuqi waited until Lou Xinyue and them walked away, and then said earnestly: "Senior Brother Bu, you wrote down those wonderful words, but you shirked and said that you heard it from elsewhere, others think you are just joking, but Senior Brother knows the reason......
Bu An deliberately took him in the direction where there were the most evil ghosts just now, and after a while, he felt a fainter chill burrowing into his body from the soles of his feet, and converging with the previous one, but it was too faint and better than nothing.
He instinctively felt that this strange faint aura had no malice, or rather, no intention at all, and it could be completely controlled by him.
Bu An said "um" casually, his brows furrowed tightly, and he wondered whether he should continue to collect the things left behind by these "dead ghosts".
This look looked in Zhu Xiuqi's eyes, but it had another meaning, and he sighed lightly: "You are the way to defile yourself......
Bu An glanced at Zhu Xiuqi with some surprise, he had some respect for this senior brother, and he was not too embarrassed to bluff him, but it was impossible to explain it all, thinking that he had no bad intentions anyway, since he wanted to misunderstand, let him misunderstand.
Zhu Xiuqi looked at the end of the long street and said slowly: "Brother Wei knows that you are indignant and depressed. Obviously, there are hills and valleys in the chest, but they have to be depressed, but after being suppressed for a long time, it will be difficult to calm down after all, or they will be unbearable when they are teased by everyone in front of the Star Palace, or they will turn it around when they are in danger tonight. Brother...... Others say that you are arrogant, but they do not know what you have suffered. ”
Bu An was moved by what he said, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, he didn't seem to be bitter, it was all a mistake, and he misunderstood.
Zhu Xiuqi continued: "This morning, the master told me this, I understand why you did this, thinking back to the day I actually advised you that 'there are people outside the sky', senior brother is really ashamed. ”
Bu An waved his hand embarrassedly and said, "Actually, what you said makes sense, Senior Brother, I listened to all these words." Thinking that when she came out this morning, Tu Yao deliberately went to Zhu Xiuqi to tell her about these things, and she felt a little more grateful to this beautiful master.
Zhu Xiuqi shook his head, looked at Bu An's eyes, full of care and guilt, and said earnestly: "Before leaving, I will explain the ins and outs of this matter to your senior sister Xinyue." Senior brother, you just have to do it with confidence, even if the whole world misunderstands you, senior brothers and sisters are also on your side. ”
Bu An was stunned there, his eyes blinked, and his eyes were faintly moist, he could feel that there was no trace of hypocrisy in Zhu Xiuqi's words, and when he said, "The whole world misunderstands you, and senior brothers and sisters are also on your side", although the tone has not changed, it clearly contains indescribable pride and firmness.
It wasn't until this moment that Bu An realized that the five words "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" were not just empty talk, but were really engraved in the heart of the senior brother in front of him. Even if you know that you are about to deviate, you still say that you want to stand on your side, this is the pride of "although tens of millions of people go to me".
"Senior brother......" He nodded heavily, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, and pretended to smile lightly: "It's okay, how can it be so serious, that surnamed Yu may give birth to another son next year, so there is no need to recruit trouble!"
The more lightly he spoke, the more heartbroken Zhu Xiuqi saw it, he straightened the longbow on his back, turned his head to look at the sky, and said leisurely: "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and Xu Xing, compared to the pride of the junior brother at the beginning, sigh for his brother like a ......."
Bu An wanted to emphasize it again, these were really what he had heard, but after thinking about it, he felt that when he said this, Senior Brother Zhu would feel that he was out of sight, scratched his head and said, "Senior Brother, let's not stop here, let's go for a walk......"
