The autumn equinox fell asleep on Xu You's lap, in order to prepare for the New Year in the past few days, she was busy before and after, her feet did not touch the ground, she was really tired. The winter solstice also yawned, tilted her head, her eyes couldn't open, she never liked to stay up late, work and rest on time, at a young age, she was more old than the old Taoist priest. The frost was afraid that she would freeze, so he took a big coat and covered her with the winter solstice, and held her in her arms.

In contrast, Fang Sinian was in the best spirit, and went to sit with Zuo Yan and Shan Zong to discuss the problems encountered in the cultivation together. She is uncertain by nature, but she has no distractions in learning Bodhi Gong, and she travels thousands of miles a day, and her entry into the realm is amazing, which can be described as an outlier.

Secretly sitting in the corner rarely talking, whether it is when eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, or this will be around the fireplace, he sits alone, does not talk to people, does not chat with people, and does not drink alcohol when eating, only eats some vegetarian dishes, and avoids meat and greasy. Xu You didn't pay him too much attention, and he didn't even look at him for a moment. In order for him to examine the group of Jingyuan himself, to examine the environment he is in, and to examine those lives that are completely different from the past, many times, it is better to say 10,000 words of nonsense than to be subtle.

Except for a small number of people in Jingyuan, no one else knew about the identity of the assassin in the dark house, so at first some people felt curious, and took the initiative to toast with the dark girl out of goodwill, but the hot face and cold ass were directly ignored, causing everyone to be dissatisfied and even more deserted. He didn't care, he sat quietly, and the scene in front of him was like a drop of water dripping from the eaves, hitting the thick scale armor on his chest little by little, thumping and reverberating between his ear drums.

Xu You beckoned.

Dark Yao hesitated for a moment, walked over, Xu You patted his side, asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Do you have a good time?" ”

"I used to follow Chen Chan for ten years, except for practicing or practicing, there is no difference between the Chinese New Year and usual!" Secretly said freely, but there was an unconcealable loneliness in his tone, and said: "It is the first time that so many people eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and gather together to celebrate the New Year!" ”

"First ......"

Xu You picked up a piece of bamboo that fell out and threw it into the brazier, and the tongues of fire reflected each other's faces, as if the mellow aroma of wine was permeating, and said, "You're not used to it, right?" Other families may not be so noisy, I like to be lively, and everyone is happy to get together and play. The fact that you were able to sit still without being noisy and not leaving is actually a bit unexpected to me. ”

"It's just curious, but it's not that I'm not used to it." A slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he said, "Moreover, the year is also very ...... IT IS INTERESTING. ”

"Do you know what I admire most about you?"

"Oh," Darkly turned his head, stared at Xu You, and said, "Please teach Lang Jun!" ”

"You have been in the midst of great calamity since you were a child, but you have never regarded the whole world as an enemy, whether you want to admit it or not, at least there is still some goodness in your heart. For the sake of this bit of goodness, I am willing to do everything possible to resolve the grievances between you and me. ”

Secretly silent, after a long time, he suddenly said: "Lang Jun wants me to kill for you?" ”

Xu You shook his head and said, "I don't need anyone to kill for me!" If you nod your head and agree to let go of this grudge, I can now give you back your freedom and let you go; If you really have nowhere to go, you can also stay in Jingyuan, like the wind tiger and sting them, and receive a monthly payment. As for what to do, it's up to you to please, but I hope you can start to talk about the I Ching, or any other text, as long as you are proficient. If one day, I mean, if I ask you to kill someone for me, you can leave without telling me, and no one in Jingyuan will be left in trouble! ”

Dark Yao was silent again for a long time, and sighed: "Although I want to believe in Lang Jun's promise, I really don't dare to believe it!" ”

"I understand that with your past, it will not be so easy to trust someone. So we don't have to be in a hurry, you look slowly, and you will always see my personality clearly. I'm not a saint, I can lie, I can deceive, I can be false when necessary, I can be treacherous, but the promises I make to my friends never count. ”

Xu You said it lightly, but for some reason it is full of strong persuasiveness and self-confidence, and this innate leadership charisma is a talent that many people do not have. Dark Yao's eyes were confused, and he was fluctuating in the jump of the firelight, and said, "But the moon is gone...... I owe her my life after all! ”

"The moon is young, the moon is young!"

Xu You repeated and said, "As long as you have no objection to the settlement, we can always find a solution to the matter of Yuexiao." If you can't today, then tomorrow, if you can't this year, then next year! ”

Secretly lowered his head, his thin body always made people ignore his danger, and said: "I am subject to Lang Jun, and I have nowhere to go, naturally everything is under Lang Jun's orders." It's just that you asked me to take a look at it more, but I didn't know what to watch? ”

"Look at the world!"

Xu You said indifferently: "You have been immersed in the ghost domain for many years, and look at this real world!" ”

Darkly stopped talking, sat beside Xu You, and quietly looked at the crowd gathered in front of him, until Dongfang Dabai.

The fire that had been burning all night fell silent, the sound of firecrackers seemed to be still crackling in the ears, the first day of the twelfth year of Yong'an came as scheduled, everyone returned to their respective rooms, freshened up and rested for a while, changed into new clothes, and then gathered in the courtyard with joy. On the winter solstice, each of them took a wooden stick and laughed and beat it around the fire, and the dust soon dispersed. Su Xi Chounu was timidly hiding behind Yu Su, the autumn equinox looked at her from time to time, I don't know what to say in the past, the little girl actually had the courage to let her hold her hand to the grass ash, holding a small branch, and also learned to fight like an adult.

Yu Su stood not far away, staring at the ugly slave, his turquoise eyes were full of the tenderness that melted the first snow.

Dark Yao stayed by Xu You's side all the time, and asked strangely, "What is this for?" ”

"Hitting the filth pile is also called beating as you wish. You are well-read, haven't you read the "Divine Sutra"? ”

Secretly shook his head.

Xu You explained with a smile: "Legend has it that there was a person named Kuang Ming in the past, and when he passed by Pengze Lake, he was invited by Qing Hongjun, the god of the lake, to be a guest in the cave. Shenjun was very kind to Kuang Ming and asked him what he wanted. Shenjun's servant secretly told Kuang Ming that he wanted Shenjun's maid to get his wish. Kuang Ming said this, and although Shenjun was reluctant, he still gave him his wish. In the future, no matter what wish Kuang Ming makes, he can fulfill his wish, even if he is not a god, it is almost the same. One day when he got up late as he wished, Kuang Ming was furious and picked up a stick to beat her, but he was so frightened that he hid in the filth. Later, people learned to play the filth pile with Kuang Ming, all of them wanted to make a wish, meet all kinds of extravagance and desires, and it could be regarded as a celebration! ”

The filthy pile is also the dung heap, which was indeed beaten at the beginning, but later felt dirty and indecent, and slowly evolved into a Chinese New Year's Eve fire, and the grass and wood ash in the fire plate were used to replace the dung heap. It can be seen that many people just seek immortals and worship Buddhas, but they also have to be opportunistic and take a shortcut.

"That's what it means!" Dong Solstice was happy to fight, and turned around and said: "The old people say that they will get their wish, and I should be satisfied with my wish if I hit it, but I didn't expect it to be a girl's name, or a fairy's maid." Xiaolang, look at how majestic others do as maids, you can get whatever you want! ”

Xu You smiled: "Really? Is this the reason why she has been hiding in the filth for hundreds of years, being chased and spanked with sticks? Such a majesty, if you like it, I will help you think of a way, it is not impossible to do it. ”

Frost quipped: "After that, people will go to Zhengri, not to fight as they wish, but to play the winter solstice!" ”

"No, no!" The winter solstice instantly felt a little sore in his buttocks, and his little face was full of flattering smiles, and said: "I'm talking about playing, what's so good about the gods, it's better to follow Xiaolang!" ”

Fang Sinian said: "Sister, isn't it a little bad for you to be at both ends of the rat like this?" ”

Dong Solstice was surprised and said, "Okay, Si Nian, you can even speak idioms, who taught you?" Master Qiyi, or Master Wind Tiger? ”

Fang Sinian now has three masters, He Wei, Zuo Yan and Shan Zong, she raised her head proudly and said, "Stunned Master!" ”

If it is He Wei or Zuo Yan, the winter solstice is not easy to ridicule, for the Mountain Sect, there is nothing to say, and said: "You, in the future, learn idioms and follow the other two masters, but it is not okay to be stunned, he can't figure it out himself, and he will teach you." ”

Fang Sinian didn't know why, and said, "What's the matter, isn't it right that Master Stunned has taught?" ”

"It's not right, it's ridiculous!" Winter Solstice's knowledge is a hundred times stronger than Fang Sinian, a wild girl in the countryside, and she was stunned for a moment, and said: "At both ends of the first rat is Tian Wei, the uncle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who reprimanded Han Anguo, and the two traitorous ministers conspired against other loyal ministers, so they can only be used on bad people." Is Sister a bad person? ”

Fang Sinian hurriedly said: "Sister is very good to me, not a bad person!" ”

"That's right, you say, right?"

"This ......" Fang Sinian was very embarrassed, and said, "As a disciple, you can't be disrespectful to the master......"

"Hah, that's right!"

The winter solstice was still waiting to continue to arrange the mountain sect, Xu You couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, just your sharp teeth." Si Nian, don't pay attention to her, hurry up and fight the filth, if you are beaten by others, your good luck will be gone! ”

"Really?"

Fang Sinian immediately turned his head and concentrated on picking up a stick and slapping the grass ash pile. Xu You pointed at them and said to the dark: "See, this is what the world should look like!" ”

After beating the filthy pile, everyone stood up in turn, drank pepper and cypress wine first, and toasted Xu You according to their age from childhood to adulthood. This rule is different from the past because the first day is the beginning of the new year, which marks the growth of the young by one year, while the old people lose one year, so the young first grow and then the old.

When everyone toasts, they all send a ghost pill from the frost. This pill is made of realgar and wine, and the man puts it on the left side of the waist and the woman on the right side of the waist to ward off evil spirits.

After everyone saluted, Xu You raised his glass and said, "Jiazai Fangjiao, in fact." The taste is precious, and it removes all diseases. At the beginning of the year, the first day of the month. Yongjie Meishou to pray for the first auspiciousness. ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yongjie Meishou, to pray for the first auspiciousness!" ”

Then he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and everyone was full of joy, as if there had never been such a pleasant and comfortable New Year's Festival. Next, drink peach soup, eat gum tooth dumplings, taste Wuxin plate, anyway, the customs of the festival have not changed much in a hundred years, although Xu You has integrated the previous memories, but the personal experience is different from the memories in his mind after all, after a toss, it is quite interesting, and it is completely different from the boring Spring Festival in later generations.

In the afternoon, when it gradually calmed down, Xu You summoned Shanzong to the room, handed him a sealed letter and a note with seven addresses, and said: "Leave Qiantang before the city gate is closed, go to Jinling to find Zhan Wenjun according to these residences, and then ask her to do me a favor......"

After listening to Xu You's words, Shanzong said, "Don't worry, Lang Jun, I will deliver this letter safely!" ”

"Also, you take Fang Sinian with you!"

"Huh?" Shan Zong was dumbfounded and said, "I'm afraid that taking her will make a mistake!" ”

"It's not wrong! There is no need to rush on the road, give you three months to be able to rush back in April. You can't create a grandmaster-level martial artist behind closed doors, Fang Sinian needs your experience in the rivers and lakes, and you also need to go out to see the world, I am very relieved to follow you! ”

As long as there is enough time, Shan Zong doesn't mind taking Fang Sinian out to practice, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will make her suffer a little more." ”

"Go, get ready, I've already explained, I'll give you 50,000 money to take with you in case you need it, I won't send you when you leave, have a good trip!"
