Chapter Thirty-Six: The Old Man at the Bottom of the Qingyun Tower
Chapter 36: The bottom of Qingyun Tower meets the deceased
When the Du florist returned, the bluegrass of the Tai Academy reached the flowering period, and in summer and autumn, the green flowers were refreshing, and he followed Ruyi, and the two of them hid in the mountains for a while, but they were extra energetic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I didn't expect such a change to happen when I left."
Du Yu looked at the busy people who were repairing the city all the way, and felt a little emotional for a while, the famine in Jiankang had just subsided, the charred houses had not been completely demolished, and there were even fewer green willows on the riverbank.
Ruyi flattered: "If your old man is here, how can you allow Su Jun to ruin Jiankang."
Du Yu said lightly: "It is the destiny of heaven that Jiankang has this catastrophe, I must not interfere, this is the admonition of the ancestors, otherwise the first emperor would have died so easily?" ”
Ruyi said in a low voice: "Yes, we Penglai Pavilion don't care about mundane things." ”
Du Yu looked at Ruyi's low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, with indescribable disgust in his heart, he slapped him in the crowded street market, then wiped his hands and said, "It's not us, I am, you're not." ”
Ruyi didn't dare to respond to his grievances, obviously when the master accepted him, he told him about Penglai Pavilion, at that time the master liked him very much, I didn't think that all these years had passed, the more the master looked at it, the more unpleasant it became, if it wasn't for the love of the year, I'm afraid he would die.
And recently, for some reason, Master's peaceful and calm temper in the past is gone, and there is indescribable anxiety in his eyebrows, and he will start beating people if he doesn't agree with him.
"Does it hurt?" Du Yunian is also in his thirties in Ruyi, and he can't get by if he doesn't give him face on the street, so he asked casually.
Ruyi didn't answer, and when the two returned to Tai Academy, they saw that Xie An was busy watering the blue grass, and he was a person who couldn't be provoked, and Ruyi wanted to shrink himself into a quail, but Xie An just didn't let him go, and after greeting Du Yu first, he set his eyes on him.
Xie An said with some ill intentions: "I don't know if you know where your sect lord has gone?" Seeing that Su Jun's henchmen were ambushed one by one, there was only the prince of your family left, did he ever go to you? Or do you know where he's hiding? ”
Ruyi smiled dryly: "San Lang don't tease the little slave, where the prince fled five years ago, the little slave doesn't know, where does he know where he is fleeing now?" But with Chengying and Yanagi by his side, he should have run away a long time ago, right? Back then, Jixiang was tortured by General Zhao Yin half-dead and didn't say where he was, and the little slave didn't know it. ”
Xie An said: "Actually, I always feel that he hasn't left Jiankang, because the world is so big, there is no place for him, Shi Le even killed the ancestors, who cares about a down-and-out prince?" ”
Du Yu glanced at Ruyi, and finally spoke: "He has been following me these days, even if the Sect Prince wants to find him, there is nowhere to find him." ”
That's a disconnection, right? Ruyi secretly paid attention to Xie An's expression, but this guy always had that ill-intentioned smile, Xie An chatted with Du Yu for a few words, and then went back to the library to continue to stir up his affairs, Du Yu looked at the sky, and said to Ruyi: "Now that rice is expensive, you can cook less, after all, we are eating San Lang's meal now." ”
Yes, Tai Academy is now Xie An's, Principal Xie Anshi, a sixteen-year-old young principal, although he has no official rank, he doesn't know how many people can be killed or saved with a wave of his light robe.
It was getting dark, and Ruyi met Xie An in the kitchen when he was cooking, only to hear the young man mutter: "This small kitchen will definitely not be enough when the hospital is opened in the future, and it will have to be expanded." ”
I saw Xie An scooping up saliva and drinking, and took a handful of millet to feed the chickens and ducks in the kitchen yard, at this time, Ruyi would feel that Xie An was a bit like a real teenager, although there were very few children of the family who went to feed the chickens and ducks in person.
Jiankang talent Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, not to mention the Guo Pu who came back from the dead, even the little lady in the courtyard of the royal family is a strange person, not to mention that there are Xie An and Du Yu in the small Tai Academy.
He's just an ant.
Du Yu admired Xie An very much, and Ruyi naturally wanted to bow down.
Du Yu only uses one meal a day, and spends most of his time with tea, especially Xie An gave him some good tea, and after teaching him how to make clear tea, he never leaves his mouth, and he also ponders which kind of water is better to make tea, and in winter, he will also collect plum branches and snow water to make tea.
Du Yu's daily life is very simple, in addition to tending to flowers and plants, it is meditation and practice, Ruyi will stay by his side when he is very young to read medical books, those ancient bamboo slips of books and gradually blurred handwriting, is Ruyi's most profound memory in childhood.
Du Yu is a disciple of the immortals of Penglai Pavilion on the overseas fairy island, and was ordered to guard some things here, including Qingyun Tower, so Ruyi has been very careful to treat him, because don't look at Du Yu's middle-aged appearance, he has actually lived for many years, Qingyun Pagoda was established in the Han Dynasty, when Jiankang was still called Moling, it was a small county, and now it has moved to the east, and the purple gas has come to the east, and the dragon has become the prosperous capital of the south.
Being accepted as a disciple by the disciples of the immortals, Ruyi always felt that he was lucky, and he was a little distant with the immortal energy, although he knew that Du Yu himself had never been to the real Penglai Pavilion.
Ruyi also knew that Du Yu would go down to Qingyun Pagoda once a year to check a thing, he never took anyone there, and few outsiders knew. Qingyun Pagoda also has a secret room on the basement floor, where there is a very important thing for Du Yu.
Du Yu left Jiankang for more than half a year, and he didn't rush back as soon as possible, because he was sure that his things would not be discovered.
Time is long, every day is a new sunrise and sunset, Du Yu slept very early, Ruyi knew that he would enter the Xuan Realm to continue to practice, continue to look for the mysteries that ordinary people do not know, at that time, the voices around him could not be heard.
Ruyi sat in front of the candle flame to help Du Yu mend his clothes, watched Xie An walk out of the library with the wind lantern, and led the horse to the outside of the courtyard, after that, the Tai Academy really fell into a quiet darkness.
Tonight the stars are bright, and there is a white galaxy in the sky, some people say that it is the Stygian River, and there will be as many people's souls as there are stars in it......
Crickets chirped among the grass, and the sound of frogs in the distant lake came low, making the night even quieter.
Ruyi returned to the kitchen to warm up some food, put it in the food box and walked in the direction of Qingyun Tower, there were fewer wild grasses along the way, so recently Xie An was mending the lawn, I heard that it was going to be used here for what kind of juju field, but our Jin people are not interested in sweating and tired activities, and it is extremely indecent to keep stinky sweat, and I don't know what this little Langjun is thinking about all day long.
The underground secret room of Qingyun Tower was unguarded, because there was a secret passage in the secret pavilion, and the key to enter was also hidden, Ruyi didn't know how to open it, he came to the secret room, stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall a few times, and the door opened.
I don't know what treasures are in the dark room, there has always been a dark blue light, Sima Zong showed half of his face, and looked at him coldly.
"Lord Wang." Ruyi kowtowed to him.
Sima Zong's eyes were cold, "Why are you?" ”
Ruyi said softly: "I just returned to the city with my master today, and Chengying asked me to come to visit you." ”
Sima Zong sneered: "He can trust you. ”
Ruyi put down the food box, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Jixiang is dead, the whole Jiankang, except for me, probably he can't think of who to find, now the prince is about to be given death, and the entire palace is trapped, so only I can serve the prince." ”
Sima Zong snorted lightly, "I don't dare to eat what you made." ”
It seems that he was still concerned about the fact that he could be saved by the master that day, and did not leave Jiankang with him...... Ruyi laughed at himself, he had no skills except for medical drugs, and he was blocking Sima Zong wherever he went, and now he risked being killed by his master to bring him food, but he was still humiliated.
But Sima Zong's cultivation is unfathomable, Ruyi knows that he is now a tiger falling in Pingyang and is wanted by all parties, and it seems that he is still seriously injured and cannot leave easily, so he asked Liu Sheng and Chengying to help him find a helper and a way out, and it is not good to give him a face, what if Sima Zong gets angry and kills him?
No one would have thought that Sima Zong would know the way to open the secret room of Qingyun Tower, and if Du Yu knew about it, he would definitely kill Sima Zong.
Sima Zong asked, "I heard that there is a treasure here, but I can't find it after living here for a long time, do you know?" ”
The implication is that you are Du Yu's apprentice, and you should always know some clues.
Ruyi forcibly endured his displeasure and said: "The little slave doesn't know, when the master liked me when he was a child, he didn't say it, and now he dislikes me, let alone say it." ”
"Look at the way you look...... Stupid, it looks like you're afraid of me and hate me? ”
Sima Zong's eyes were so cold that he seemed to be looking at him under the waterhole, and he even grabbed his neck, struggling as he wished, sweating profusely.
Sima Zong often used to refer to himself as this king, but now he has changed it to "I", which is a little less majestic and a little more cold, his silver hair is dyed with a faint blue luster, and his lips are pale, like a ghost.
Ruyi thought desperately, he was too careless, Sima Zong was a madman, if he made him unhappy, he would be killed at any time, and he was going to die in his hands tonight?
Sima Zong's hands became heavier and heavier, Ruyi rolled his eyes, only to feel that the breath entering his lungs was getting less and less, and his vision was congested...... You're dying, aren't you? Ruyi thought desperately, and even squeezed out a tear in fright.
I don't know how long it took, Ruyi heard Sima Zong laugh and said: "I cried, something without roots!" Hey, Xie Sanlang, I'm fascinated by watching the show, I didn't think you were so hard-hearted, do you want to watch this king strangle this dog slave to death? ”
Xie Saburo? Ruyi was immediately pulled out of the dying River Styx by this name, and listened to Xie An's nice voice lazily coming from the wall, "Look? What do you think? Look at a broken wall? I was just fascinated by the night for a while, and I didn't know that the prince was going to kill someone? ”
Sima Zong let go of Ruyi with a smile, threw him aside, and opened the door.
As the door slowly opened, Xie An held a glass of wine in his hand and smiled at Sima Zong, beside him was a stone window, and the moonlight and stars sprinkled the young man's smoke-colored robe.
An abominable smile, Sima Zong thought.
Sima Zong kicked Ruyi out and asked, "You don't have any weapons, is that okay?" ”
Xie An stood outside the door, stepped forward, blocked Ruyi intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Because I know that the prince lacks people to talk and drink, it is such a good night tonight, it is not appropriate to start killing." ”
Sima Zong simply said, "Okay." ”
So the two of them, one stood in the secret room, and the other stood outside the door, drank three cups, and then Xie An said: "It's a little late tonight, why don't I come to visit the prince tomorrow night, the food I made is delicious." As for Ruyi, can you let me take it away, I'm also very interested in that treasure. ”
Sima Zong leaned against the door, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Then I'm not at ease." ”
Xie An turned to Ruyi and said, "Okay, then Ruyi, you say, what treasure is hidden here, otherwise I really can't save you." ”
Ruyi said, you should take care of your own life first, obviously, Sima Zong is more interested in you.
"The little slave really doesn't know, this treasure is hidden in the secret room, San Lang is so smart, he will definitely be able to find the answer for the prince."
Sima Zong nodded, "It seems that he is right, San Lang, please come in?" ”
"It turns out that the prince didn't run away, he wanted to stay here to find the baby." Xie An naturally didn't want to go into such a gloomy place, so he pretended to be calm, "I don't know what the use of this treasure is found?" Dedicated to Shi Hu to save his life? ”
Sima Zong asked, "How did you know I was here?" ”
"My ears are very smart, I just want to study here these nights, but Chengying comes and goes, and this broken wall is open and open, so that I can't read in the middle of the night, and I always feel insecure, especially if I come back early, sneakily take food from the kitchen rice bowl It makes my heart hurt even more." Xie An kicked Ruyi, "Actually, you came back earlier than Du Huafa, today I just went out of the city early to pick him up, you secretly took food to Chengying while I was away, I will know what is missing in the kitchen every day, because even if I grab a handful of rice, I will remember it in my mind." ”
Only then did Ruyi know why he came in from the gate today, and was caught by Xie An to ask Sima Zong about it, it turned out that he was teasing him.
Xie An sighed and said, "Actually, Lord Wang, I just want to study hard, and now that I have discovered you, it seems that there is really something bad." ”
Sima Zong also sighed: "I'm really sorry to disturb your study." ”
"Now, are you going to kill me or kill me?"
"Why are you always hostile to this king? Didn't Yanagi tell you that the king admires you? ”
"What about Yanagi?"
"Who knows, Yanagi." Sima Zong said indifferently, "I was injured by you before, and now I died when I blocked the chasing soldiers for this king." ”
……
Xie An was silent for a moment, and suddenly regretted coming with a little, knowing that Ruyi had a ghost, and he was afraid of startling the snake, so he secretly followed, but he didn't practice the kung fu in the corner of the wall, but was discovered by Sima Zong.
Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, with Sima Zong's skills, if he is ruthless, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape from the front.
This is very bad, Xie An officially considered whether he should also raise a few personal guards, just like A Jia and A Yi Chengying, but such a guard should be caught with a doll, right? Over the years, I have met so many messy people, except for the more promising character of the thorn slave, I haven't seen anyone...... You can't delay Shen Jin's future and be a little guard for him, he is the young master of the Shen family.
Even if it is a thorn slave, it is now raised by Shi Hu, if according to history, the child will be against the sky.
It's curiosity that kills cats.
Thinking of this, Xie An sighed again: "That's it, in fact, I don't have a deep grudge with the prince, can I ask the prince to spare his next life?" I promise not to tell you the news that the prince is here. ”
Sima Zong also pretended to be helpless and said, "Didn't you just ask about treasures?" Yes, this king wants to find the treasures that have been hidden in this Qingyun Pagoda for many years, San Lang has always been lucky, why don't you come in and find it? ”
Ruyi, who was finally relieved on the side, sighed every time the two said a word, and listened to it even bigger.
