Chapter Twenty-Eight: Cultivating Immortals
In the land of extreme frozen, there are women in the snowy region, with a charming voice, white skin, eyes like the moon, and their hair like snow; There is a poem that sighs: Winter butterflies through the ages, forever miserable.
Xue Chongxun suddenly remembered this paragraph, but the white-haired girl in front of him did not show any sense of "desolation", although her current situation was not too optimistic. Bai Wuchang is unusually delicate, and her speech is brisk and crisp, just like the lightness when playing a happy tune, because of her storage, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.
And Daogu Yuqing on the side is taciturn, with a cold face, which makes people feel very clear and difficult to get along with. Her eyes were dark and deep, like a deep pool, hiding many poignant thoughts.
Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say to Yu Liben: "That song just now must have been played by Yuqing Daogu." ”
Bai Wuchang smiled when he heard this: "Xue Lang guessed wrong!" ”
Xue Chongxun glanced at Yuqing Dao Gu, her pure face was extremely calm, like a calm lake in the afternoon. Yuqing Daogu felt his gaze and said, "It's late at night, although you are acquaintances, but there are differences between men and women, let's meet again tomorrow morning to catch up." I hope that your guests will not wander around at night, I am afraid it is a bit rude to do so. ”
Her appearance is more delicate than Bai Wuchang, but her voice is not as crisp as Bai Wuchang, and it seems a little sandy.
Xue Chongxun apologized after hearing this: "Because of catching up with Yu Gonggong, I suddenly heard a mysterious singing, and I couldn't help but be curious to follow the singing. After that, he turned to Bai Wuchang and said: "If you are really desperate, even if you come to my account, I will not treat you badly if you want talents." ”
Xue Chongxun believed that Bai Wuchang was a talent, such as the assassination case of Chenghuang Temple and the theft of the account books of the Ruzhou Assassination History, and the timing and means were very good. Although both things are a bit surprising, her ability to do things is indeed worthy of recognition...... He even thought that it would be better if Bai Wuchang could assassinate the crown prince Li Longji! Of course, Li Longji has been in the palace and the palace for a long time, and he is guarded by armored soldiers, so I am afraid it will be a little difficult.
However, there is no doubt that people like Bai Wuchang are very valuable. In order to win the battle of life and death with Li Longji, Xue Chongxun did not rule out the use of any useful means, no matter how unruly the methods would be.
Bai Wuchang chuckled: "I went to you when I was desperate, isn't it a truth to seek peace when the two countries are at war?" What else can I do...... But can Xue Lang do me another favor. ”
"Please." Xue Chongxun said.
Bai Wuchang said: "My whereabouts here with Sister Yuqing have been exposed, if I continue to stay, it will not only be unsafe, but it will also implicate her, I want to change places, because there must be people staring here, can you take me out?" ”
At this moment, Aunt Yuqing hurriedly said: "It's okay, you just stay, I will protect you!" ”
Xue Chongxun saw that Yuqing, who had always been indifferent to everything, suddenly had a panicked look on his face, and couldn't help but think viciously about what the relationship between the two women was. But he just thought about it for a while, that's all, he was quite concerned about his own affairs, how could he have the leisure to inquire into other people's private affairs.
Bai Wuchang smiled: "I don't want to be a Taoist priest, I have to leave sooner or later, when the wind passes, I will come to see Sister Yuqing." ”
Yuqing was a little moved and said: "Let's cultivate the immortal body together according to the ancient spectrum, wouldn't it be more leisurely than mixing the turbid world?" ”
Bai Wuchang quietly stretched out his tongue at Xue Chongxun, made a grimace, and then shook his head at Yuqing and said, "I don't think I am the material for cultivating immortals, I am uncomfortable eating those elixirs you gave me last time......
Yuqing's face was full of sadness, and his jade feet moved slightly, looking very hurt: "But not long ago, you said that your spirit was better after cultivation, why did you change your mind as soon as they came?" Did you lie to me about everything you said before? ”
Bai Wuchang was a little embarrassed and said, "...... It does have some effect, but after taking the pill, I lose my appetite, and I'm afraid that I'll be as thin as my sister if I go on like this, and I don't like to be too thin. Don't get me wrong, I've always treated you as a sister, better than my own sister. ”
Yuqing let out a melancholy "oh", looking very lost, her beautiful face was so sad, seeing that Xue Chongxun, the man, also had a little sense of pity and pity.
Bai Wuchang asked Xue Chongxun again: "Can you help?" You've been good to me, and I'll be good to you in the future......"
Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment, this woman's speech always provokes reverie. When he thought about it, with this blacklist character, wouldn't he have to be noticed? In places like Luoyang, Chang'an, the relationship between the three religions and the nine streams in the rivers and lakes is quite complicated, and I heard that there are Taoist priests who can speak in front of the prince.
However, Xue Chongxun has no prejudice against her now. Although she had tried to kill herself, she was just a tool in that incident, and he couldn't hold a grudge against a sword or a knife. At this moment, he suddenly came up with a small plan...... So he nodded immediately and said, "No problem, isn't it just to bring someone, I don't believe that a group of people who run the rivers and lakes dare to attack my official ship." ”
Bai Wuchang immediately clapped his hands and said, "Xue Lang is so domineering, he is admired by others." ”
This spurring sound made Xue Chongxun suddenly have goosebumps. She didn't care much, and grabbed Xue Chongxun's arm when she came up: "You take me away now, I have to follow you, I'm afraid you will run away alone." ”
Yuqing Daogu's face was blue and white for a while, she looked dejected, she wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she lowered her head and didn't say anything, after a while, she turned around and took out a box, and said: "There is still a Tongqi Pill that you haven't taken, and now it's almost time to take it." ”
Bai Wuchang forced a smile and said: "This elixir is not easy to refine, and I can't cultivate into an immortal, so I don't have to waste it anymore, right?" ”
Yuqing said: "Once you take it, you must take at least seven pieces, otherwise it is easy to go crazy." ”
"So? ...... madness" Bai Wuchang had to pick up the pill in the box and said with a bitter face, "I've eaten so many anyway, so it's better to eat another one." With that, he put it in his small mouth and chewed it with a frown. Yuqing handed over a glass of water, and Bai Wuchang took it and swallowed it.
After Bai Wuchang finished eating, he pulled Xue Chongxun and said, "Let's go now, lest there will be many dreams at night, and the people on the dock will find any trouble." ”
Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said to Yu Liben: "That's fine, I'll go back first, and tomorrow morning Father-in-law Yu will go back to Yushitai." After that, he hugged his fist at Yuqing and said, "Disturbed." ”
"Wait." Yuqing suddenly grabbed Bai Wuchang, and a large drop of crystal tears slipped into his eyes, "Are you really not cultivating immortals with me?" ”
Bai Wuchang's face was ugly and said: "Aren't there other Taoist priests in Shangqingguan, sister, let's find someone else...... With so many people looking for me, I'm afraid that I will be killed by them before I have cultivated immortality. ”
Yuqing's feelings were a little out of control, and he choked up: "I know, you agreed to cultivate immortals and ascend to heaven with me, but you were forced to do so because of the situation that you had nowhere to live, in fact, you don't want to cultivate immortals at all, and what you said before was all a lie to me!" I should have understood. ”
Bai Wuchang reached out and gently wiped the tears on Yuqing's cheeks, and sighed, "How could I lie to you?" She turned back to Xue Chongxun and said, "I want to say a few words alone with Sister Yuqing, can you wait for me outside the door?" ”
Xue Chongxun and Yu Liben, you look at me, I look at you, and then they quit. The three of them walked outside the door together, and Yu Liben immediately whispered: "Miscellaneous family, look at what these two women are doing...... There are many miscellaneous families in the palace, and they can't be wrong. ”
Xue Chongxun smiled: "What's the matter with us? Today's farewell, we won't see each other for the time being, Father-in-law Yu will leave for Youzhou as soon as possible, I will arrange for the household department, and take the south road in a few days. ”
Yu Liben's expression turned grim when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and said: "Xue Lang, don't worry, the miscellaneous family will get things done even if they are full of liver and brains." ”
After waiting outside the door for a long time and not seeing Bai Wuchang come out, Xue Chongxun looked at the door several times in succession, and he didn't know what the two women were doing inside, and he didn't finish talking for so long.
Xue Chongxun paced a few steps, looked at the sky and said angrily, "Wait a while, it's dawn." ”
At this moment, the door opened, Bai Wuchang walked out with a pale face, and when she saw Xue Chongxun, she showed an ugly smile: "Sister Yuqing treats me like a real sister, so I can't bear it." ”
"Sisters may not be friends, but friends are often like sisters." Xue Chongxun smiled, but secretly wondered: Don't Lao Tzu know the lace edge? Why do you want to cover up and say what to cultivate immortals together.
He was thinking that he could finally leave after grinding, but he didn't expect that Dao Gu ran to the door again and grabbed Bai Wuchang's affectionate veins...... Yard got! Are you all finished? Xue Chongxun's head suddenly grew.
Bai Wuchang comforted a few words softly, what would be the meeting in the future, and finally said: "I really want to leave, let it go......"
The two little hands like shallots finally separated, and Yuqing couldn't cry anymore.
At this time, a female Taoist priest came, carrying a lantern, and walked out of the courtyard gate with Xue Chongxun and others, and then led them to the outside of the Taoist temple. The group was silent and silently walked out of the Taoist temple, and Xue Chongxun said goodbye to Yu Liben. After a while, a carriage drove over, it was Fang Yuzhong and them, Fang Yuzhong said: "I came to help people before, I summoned dozens of brothers in Xingyuan to come over, but I saw that there was no movement, so I had to withdraw." ”
Xue Chongxun sighed: "If I make such a play, someone else must know about my coming to Qingguan, and I really don't want people to know unless I do...... But it's nothing, there is a beautiful female Taoist priest in this Shangqingguan, Yu Li originally got it, of course I also came. ”
The night wind was cold, and in the faint mist, a rooster crowed from nowhere, and it was really dawn. Xue Chongxun felt that his face was full of oil, and it felt really bad to stay up late, so he just wanted to go back to take a shower and sleep earlier. G
