Volume 2 Xin Guo Chapter 61 Searching Alone
When the sun first rose the next day, Gu Xun's funeral was held in accordance with the Xin State Rite System, and the scenery was buried on the side of the imperial mausoleum.
With the last gong and drum beating, Gu Beiyu raised his head faintly and looked at the sky, as if he had put a heavy concern into his heart, closed his eyes in pain, collected his emotions, opened his eyes after a long time, and returned to normal.
"Childe" Jiang Lin stepped forward.
"How?" Gu Beiyu asked.
"I sent someone to inquire, and the white girl fled on the night of the accident!" Jiang Lin replied.
"Where did you go?" Gu Beiyu asked.
"The spies only saw that Fu Xun took her away, but the spies didn't find it." Jiang Lin said.
"Boat halberd ......" Gu Beiyu pondered, and asked with a flash in his condensed eyes: "But out of the city gate of the boat halberd?" ”
"It's about ugly when the white girl escapes, but when you go out of the city gate, it should be Yinshi." Jiang Lin scratched his head and thought about it, but when he looked up again, Gu Beiyu had already walked away, "Huh? Son? Where are you going? ”
As if hearing a wrinkled voice in his heart, Gu Beiyu rode away uncontrollably and ran all the way to the camp stationed in Zhouji City.
The night was quiet and everything was in order. Gu Beiyu dismounted, walked to the tent step by step, froze, and stretched out his hand to open the curtain with some hesitation.
Empty.
Gu Beiyu's eyes darkened. No one knows how complicated he feels when he has not closed his eyes for a few days, and he has come here with a glimmer of hope. Gu Beiyu looked at the tent that had already packed up and taken away things, his eyes stayed on the Pingfeng Sword on the table, and walked slowly, his fingertips rubbing the delicate lines of the sword body, suddenly a little tired, and sat down on the couch dejectedly.
She just left, without a word......
The fog at night gradually spread, Gu Beiyu leaned on the head of the bed, bent on one knee, indifferently Ren Chang's hair hung down, Leng Yi's face fell half of the vertical shadow, a pair of cold eyes fogged like a deep pool, and the moonlight stretched the lonely figure, adding a bit of loneliness.
After a long time, Gu Beiyu's hand reached into his arms, and what he took out was a dry Fengling flower, which Bai Yanxiao picked and gave to him not long ago, he had kept it in his arms, and it was well preserved because he had soaked the medicinal herbs. His fingertips rubbed the flower branches, and a trace of loss flashed in his cool eyes.
The fog deepened, bringing with it endless tiredness. Gu Beiyu fell asleep unconsciously, and pillowed on the couch where Bai Yanxiao once was.
In the dream, a girl in white smiled like a flower, turning around was an endless sea of flowers, countless butterflies flew around her, she looked back and smiled: "Come on, come on!" ”
The skirt is flying, let her wander in the sea of flowers. Gu Beiyu involuntarily stretched out his hand to hold her, but at the moment when her fingertips touched, the girl transformed into countless black butterflies, disappeared in an instant, and a somewhat familiar face flashed in the air.....
Gu Beiyu suddenly opened his eyes, and a sense of familiarity slipped through his heart, who is the woman in the dream?
Raising his eyes and looking around, the sky was already bright, Gu Beiyu took the Linghua in his hand into his arms, and drove away without saying anything until he got out of the gate of the Zhou Halberd.
When the dawn sprinkled on the boundless earth, Fu Xun yawned and walked out of the bamboo house, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes: "Little ...... Xiaobai? I read that right......"
The early morning wind carried some coolness, blowing the hair of a woman in white clothes dancing with a sword not far away, Bai Yan smiled as if he had not heard it, holding a wooden sword on one leg like a swimming dragon, dancing in a fixed position, the clothes belt flew in the air and slid through an arc, only cold in the pure eyes, the wrist was flipped, the sword was sharp, as if there was endless sadness and could not be relieved, with pain.
Bai Yanxiao closed her eyes lightly, dancing the sword frantically, wanting to wipe out the pain in her heart, but she was bound in the whirlpool as if she had fallen into the abyss and couldn't extricate herself, this is the Gu swordsmanship taught to her by Gu Beiyu, which was once difficult to understand, but now it is as if she has become familiar with it in the bone marrow.
A little lonely, a little bleak, the woman under the shadow of the tree seems more and more lonely and resolute.
Fu Xun frowned slightly.
Dressed in purple and walking to Fu Xun's side, Mu Wanci asked, "What do you see?" ”
"Xiaobai, she doesn't seem to be the same as before......" Fu Xun muttered.
Mu Wanci raised her chin and looked at it lightly, but did not speak.
"Girl, someone has broken in!" Behind him, Uncle Wu, who was originally guarding the teahouse, hurried over.
"Oh?" Mu Wanci was a little surprised, and avoided Fu Xun and asked Uncle Wu, "Who is it?" ”
"It's Gu Beiyu." Uncle Wu said.
"I'll take a look."
Looking at Mu Wanci, who was hurrying away with Uncle Wu, Fu Xun's gaze became a little more profound.
"Bah-" The sound of the wooden sword falling to the ground, Fu Xun turned around, only to see Bai Yanxiao because he was too hard, and the wooden stick that was originally tied to his leg was broken by the force, and he staggered and fell to the ground.
"Xiaobai!" Fu Xun hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but when he approached Bai Yanxiao, he stopped abruptly, the woman in front of him was as cold as frost, and looked into the distance in a daze, as if he didn't even care about his injured leg at all, and no one could get close.
What happened that night that made her freeze herself like this?
Fu Xun slowly squatted in front of Bai Yanxiao: "What made you like this, and you didn't say a word when your leg was injured?" ”
Bai Yanxiao raised his head blankly, waking up like a dream.
With Fu Xun's strength, Bai Yanxiao suddenly asked: "Before, you said that you had something to do in Xin Guo, and then you accompanied me all the way and delayed for a long time, but I have been dragging you down?" ”
Fu Xun was stunned, looked at it and asked, "Why do you think of me like this?" ”
Bai Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's okay if it's not, I'm afraid that one day, I will also become a stumbling block for you." ”
Fu Xun was puzzled: "Don't think about it, I don't need to do what I wanted to do before, I'm an idler now, I'm just afraid that I will follow you to eat and drink in the future." ”
Hearing this, she sneered, and the atmosphere returned to normal, but Fu Xun could see it clearly, and her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
Mu Wanci stood still in the forest, looking at everything in front of her from a distance through the obstacle. Because of the residual power of the purple jade flute, Mu Wanci set up a barrier, and people outside of it couldn't see it at all.
The forest is full of fog, the mist at the beginning of the morning forms a puzzle, the quiet and uninhabited forest is a little weird, Gu Beiyu holds a sword in his hand, and from time to time uses the hilt of the sword to remove the weeds, carefully searching.
Mu Wanci looked at it for a moment and suddenly ordered, "Go and call Ah Yan." ”
After a while, Bai Yanxiao limped over, Mu Wanci looked faintly, took out Ziyu Xiao, and Uncle Wu walked out in understanding.
The sound of the flute started, the mountain wind suddenly rose, the fog suddenly spread, and a yin wind rushed straight to Gu Beiyu like a rain of arrows. Gu Beiyu suddenly held his sword and blocked, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the mechanism set up in the mountain was suddenly triggered, and rows of bamboo trees with sharp points came out of thin air, and several of them were fired in unison, Gu Beiyu stepped up, drew his sword and cut them one by one.
Bai Yanxiao saw the comer clearly, and suddenly his face was cold, and he pinched the hem of his skirt tightly and held his breath.
Mu Wanci's flute sound became more and more urgent, several boulders began to roll down on the top of the mountain, Gu Beiyu dodged flexibly, like an agile leopard, the long sword stood up, the sword body refracted the sunlight and suddenly shook over, Bai Yanxiao saw clearly that what he was holding in his hand was the Pingfeng Sword that had been given to her, it turned out that he had gone to look for her.
At this moment, several hidden arrows struck from behind Gu Beiyu, and Gu Beiyu was waving his hand to cut off a bamboo in the air as if he was too late to take precautions, Bai Yanxiao blurted out with a tight expression: "Don't!" ”
Gu Beiyu didn't turn back, but easily waved his hand and cut the arrow down. Obviously, this obstacle was just a piece of cake for him, but Bai Yan's smile clearly betrayed her worries.
"You're worried about him." Mu Wanzi said firmly.
Bai Yan smiled away and did not answer.
Mu Wanci examined for a moment, pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a relieved smile: "This Gu Beiyu is much more reliable than Fu Xun." ”
Bai Yanxiao's face froze.
Mu Wanci glanced at Bai Yan lightly, slowed down the sound of the flute, the fog in the forest dissipated, and the sunlight came in.
A teahouse not far away was revealed, and Uncle Wu walked from the teahouse to Gu Beiyu, and said with a smile: "Young man, what a skill!" ”
Gu Beiyu looked at the visitor: "Are you?" ”
"I'm a hunter here, this place was set up by a master many years ago as a perimeter wolf defense, the people nearby will walk around, I just saw a change in the forest, guessing that Childe broke in by mistake, so he came to answer, Childe should deal with it for a long time, or come to my teahouse for a cup of tea?" Uncle Wu said.
Gu Beiyu saw that there was another road leading to the teahouse not far away, and his expression was raised, it seemed that he had indeed entered by mistake, so he nodded: "It's hard work." ”
A cup of tea was placed in front of Gu Beiyu: "Guest officer, please use it." ”
Gu Beiyu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hesitated for a long time and said, "Shop, have you seen a woman in white passing by here recently?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Yanxiao, who was standing within the barrier, was suddenly startled, raised his head and stared at Gu Beiyu.
"Oh? The woman in white, what does she look like, but is the wife of the child? Uncle Wu pretended to be surprised.
Gu Beiyu lowered his eyelids and took a sip of tea: "There is a shallow scar on the left side of my face, as high as my shoulder, very thin, and my leg is injured." ”
"Huh? Injured? Isn't it dangerous for that son to let her out alone? Uncle Wu asked.
Speaking of this, Gu Beiyu's eyes deepened, and he didn't speak for a long time, but he just sighed after all: "Thank you for your tea." Then he took up his sword and wanted to leave.
Bai Yanxiao looked at Gu Beiyu's gaze with a trace of coldness, a trace of unwillingness, and a trace of indescribable emotion, and his fingertips clenched tightly, holding back the emotions that seemed to be gushing in his chest.
"Aren't you chasing?" Mu Wanzi opened his mouth quietly.
Bai Yanxiao's eyes were sour, and he turned his head away suddenly, biting his lips and teeth tightly, and swallowing the sourness in his heart.
"Childe and slow" Uncle Wu called Gu Beiyu, "Childe, don't worry, although I haven't seen the girl you said, but if the two quarrel, they must have gone to their mother's house, maybe go to her relatives, maybe Childe might as well be looking for it nearby." Uncle Wu said.
Hearing this, Gu Beiyu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, thanked him and left.
Bai Yanxiao's eyes darkened.
"Ah Yan ......"
"Let's go." Bai Yanxiao was undoubted, and he left directly, his swaying figure looking thin.
It wasn't until Gu Beiyu walked away that Uncle Wu picked up the cup he had drunk and walked over and handed it to Mu Wanci: "Girl, please look." ”
Mu Wanci took it, only to see that the water in the cup was condensed light blue, but it was extremely clear, and the glass cup glowed in the sun, reflecting the light blue clear and awe-inspiring water lines in the cup, but it lasted for a long time and gradually condensed, like a resolute blue gem. Mu Wanzi was shocked, and a little relief appeared in his eyes: "It seems that he also has a lot of involuntary bodies, Ah Yan is afraid that this time it will be a lot of good things." ”
The breeze came slowly, and the water in the cup rippled and dispersed silently.
