Chapter 8 Morning Dew in the Mountains and Forests
In the past two days, Qingquan Villa began to decorate the birthday atmosphere, and Xu Shaolin and several people were also helping separately, and Qingquan Villa added a bit of excitement for a while.
Different from the bustle of Qingquan Villa, the Youzhutang side has been haze for several days. The Bamboo Hall and the Aforementioned Shadow Hall both belong to the organization of the Floating Tree, which is located in the underground palace of the Dawn City, which can be regarded as the "Peach Blossom Stream" in the west, both of which are similar in nature, only one is in the south, the other is in the west, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
But in the long rivers and lakes, if there is really an intersection one day, there will inevitably be no room for two tigers. But Zhao Qiyue, the hall master of Youzhu Hall, never thought that this intersection would really happen here. After receiving the training of his master that day, Zhao Qiyue came back and ordered people to find out who was raising Gu in private, and secretly find out who did it.
Raising Gu was originally the original ability of Fu Di, but in a certain year, if he was not careful with Gu, there were almost not many people left, and after a catastrophe, Fu Tu was considered to be a big injury to his vitality, since then, Fu Tu can only use Gu poison in their mouths and the hall masters of the two halls, if someone privately raises Gu with Gu, it is a violation of the rules and a taboo.
In the past few days, the private Gu poisoner was found out and executed, and then Zhao Qiyue knew that the person who did it in the bamboo forest in the valley that day was afraid that it was the people of Yuhualou, because someone saw a few children in front of Yuhualou in front of the two carriages and cars that day, Zhao Qiyue calculated, and thought that it was the children who were rescued.
Thinking about it again, everyone knows that Yuhualou is the place where the third master of Peach Blossom Stream is, and this floating house can be regarded as having an intersection with Peach Blossom Stream. When he asked his subordinates to inquire again, he heard that Yuhualou didn't seem to be investigating at this time, so Zhao Qiyue gave up.
Let's say that Zhao Qiyue came to the south this time to find a host for the new blood Gu that the Lord of Fudi was going to cultivate.
Different from the regular Blood Gu, Fudi's Blood Gu has a Master Mother Gu, and all the eggs of the Blood Gu are produced by this Master Mother Gu, so this Master Mother Gu can also control other Blood Gu, thus avoiding the law that anyone can manipulate the Blood Gu. And this master mother Gu has always been personally selected and cultivated by the Fu Tu Lord, and when the Gu worm is formed, he will find a suitable woman as the host to hatch the Gu worm, this hatching takes a month, and then the Gu worm is drawn out of the woman's body, and every twenty-one days the woman's blood continues to be fed, and the nine nine eighty-one master mother Gu will begin to produce eggs when it matures.
Originally, they had a suitable host, but the woman died suddenly a year ago, and they had to find a new one. If the main mother Gu is yin, if a woman encounters a cold body, she will not be able to hatch, so such a girl must have a hot physique, and she must be able to enter the eyes of the floating master, after all, the girl is the host of the main mother Gu and the controller is the floating master, who will leave a person who is not pleasing to the eye by his side.
At the beginning of the year, their lord saw a woman in the south, and they came, and made sure that the woman's physique was also in line, and they were about to take the woman back, but there was an accident in the woman's house, and then she disappeared, so they had no choice but to stay, and began to inquire around, and saw that month after month, this woman disappeared from the world, and he also had a real headache.
On this day, Zhao Qiyue came to Xieyang City, and overheard that the old lady of Qingquan Villa was going to celebrate her birthday, and originally only heard about it, but later heard that Qingquan Villa has recently become more of a young lady with a foreign surname, and I was guessing whether it was to introduce the young lady to the outside world on the old lady's birthday. The other Zhao Qiyue didn't listen, the focus was all on the young lady with the foreign surname, and under careful questioning, the other party revealed that he was picked up at the beginning of the year.
In the dark, Zhao Qiyue felt that it was the woman, so he decided to send someone to Qingquan Villa to investigate, but what kind of place is Qingquan Villa, if he really dared to go, he was afraid that it would be inappropriate, so he saw that there were always people sending things to Qingquan Villa these days, so he asked his subordinates to pretend to be those people, and he flew a pigeon to pass the book to his master.
Qingquan Villa is almost decorated here, except for the people who came to send things, some of the guests who arrived first also came, Han Yan greeted him in front of the door instead of his parents, and Xu Shaolin helped inside.
Gu Qingyan was about to go to the front to find Han Yan at this time, but Han Yan still needed to come by himself in the ancestral hall, and walked all the way, just past the intersection of the corridor and the atrium, he felt that something had passed behind him. Beiming was in the dark not far from Gu Qingyan at this time, followed Gu Qingyan's line of sight, and then appeared, and when he saw Gu Qingyan nodding, he walked in that direction.
Gu Qingyan went to look for Han Yan as if he had nothing to do, at that time, Han Yan was talking to Uncle Yin, the chief manager, when he saw Gu Qingyan coming over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Qingyan said: "Now there is only the ancestral hall left, do you see you in the past or now?" ”
Han Yan turned around and said a few words to Uncle Yin, and then said to Gu Qingyan, "Now." ”
After speaking, the two went to the ancestral hall together, on the way, Gu Qingyan didn't speak, and Han Yan asked, "What about the snow?" ”
Gu Qingyan said: "Aunt Jing took her to the kitchen, saying that she would look at the menu or something." ”
"Well, the snow exploration has been much more cheerful than before." Han Yan said.
It can be seen that in just three or five days since Gu Qingyan came, Su Tanxue spoke a little more naturally, and slowly took the initiative to talk to them.
Gu Qingyan looked at Han Yan's side face, this person looks good when he talks about others, but when he is to himself, he has to be a little colder, Gu Qingyan doesn't know why, since the two first met, they first fought, and then they didn't talk much, and when they grew up, they talked even less, even if they spoke, they didn't have any emotional tone, and they couldn't figure it out. In this way, after a few words along the way, the two came to the ancestral hall, Xu Shaolin and they were still there, and they didn't know where to go at this time.
The ancestral hall of Qingquan Villa has always been a small decoration or something, Han Yan father and son have always done it themselves, this son wants to hang the lamp, Han Yan does not use martial arts in the ancestral hall, and directly moves the ladder to step on it, Gu Qingyan has to help him hand the lantern, the speed is fast, and after a while, it will be done.
The melons and fruits to be placed have been loaded again, Gu Qingyan watched the cold rock plating, Yu Guang saw that Beiming had returned to his side, and he didn't make a sound for a while, and when the cold rock was finished, Gu Qingyan asked, "Is there anything else you need help with?" ”
Han Yan said: "No, there are many people in the villa recently, and they have helped me a lot in Shaolin, you can help me take care of my grandma and explore the snow." ”
Han Yan was aware of Beiming's sudden appearance, although he didn't know why, he didn't ask Gu Qingyan. Gu Qingyan didn't know why, after listening to Han Yan's words, his heart was a little tight, but he still said a good word indifferently, and after speaking, he turned around and left.
Gu Qingyan didn't pay attention to a certain emotion that flashed in her heart, she didn't know that Han Yan behind her looked at her back, and smiled helplessly, when he first saw Gu Qingyan, this girl was dancing with her teeth and claws to compete with Bailimo, and Bailimo took advantage of the situation to pull him as a companion, so the two fought, Gu Qingyan naturally lost, but the two of them can be regarded as acquaintances. Later, when she saw Gu Qingyan again, this girl didn't like to talk to him, and once regarded him as an invisible person, but after a long time, he got used to it.
Some feelings have just stalled.
Gu Qingyan returned to the room, and Bei Ming came up to tell him about the situation: "The subordinates followed the figure to the backyard, and saw that he just hid and observed for a while and walked over the wall. I followed him for a while, and I saw him come back after going down the mountain. ”
"Didn't do anything but observe?" Gu Qingyan asked Beiming, who shook his head.
Gu Qingyan thought for a while and asked, "Who was in the backyard or passing by the backyard at that time?" ”
Bei Ming replied: "Except for a few subordinates, there is no one else." ”
"Well, I know, in the past few days, you have asked Holly and them to take care of the old lady and the snow girl, and if there is a living person around them, report back immediately." Gu Qingyan instructed Beiming, and Beiming took the order and went down.
Su Xin walked over at this time, and said with some puzzlement: "Master, let's put it bluntly, we are also guests, shouldn't he do the matter of guarding the old lady and Miss Tanxue?" ”
Gu Qingyan pressed Su Xin on his shoulder, and then said: "You're right, but look at my brothers, they've been busy these days, and our Peach Blossom Stream and Qingquan Villa have long been indistinguishable from each other." Seeing that Gu Qingyan said this, Su Xin didn't say anything more.
In the evening, Gu Qingyan went to find Su Tanxue, and heard that Su Tanxue was at the old lady's place, Gu Qingyan passed, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Han Yan and Xu Shaolin also there: "Grandma, big brother." Gu Qing said.
The old lady beckoned Gu Qingyan to come to her side and said, "Ming'er is going to the back mountain to pick morning dew early in the morning, and the two of them are saying that they want to go together." ”
Gu Qingyan looked at Xu Shaolin, she put Holly and a few people here, Xu Shaolin was afraid that she would know: "What are they going to do, I'll accompany Tanxue." ”
One of these two people is the young owner of Qingquan Villa and the other is the owner of Peach Blossom Valley, and the two of them are too ostentatious. The old lady Xu thought of the meaning, and also said, "I also think that it is just right for me to arrive." ”
Han Yan asked Gu Qingyan: "Are you sure you can get up early?" According to his understanding of Gu Qingyan, if Gu Qingyan gets up early, unless there is something important and serious, he can still have a stinky temper when he gets up early.
Xu Shaolin smiled helplessly, Han Yan's understanding of Gu Qingyan was quite thorough: "I'll let Dongli follow you, so I can take care of it." In the morning, the humidity and frost are heavy, so don't be greedy and cold. Xu Shaolin advised.
"There's no need to be so troublesome, I've picked morning dew before, I can do it myself." Su Tanxue saw that the arrangement was clear, and said a little embarrassed.
Han Yan was about to say something, but was stopped by Gu Qingyan: "I have always wanted to pick morning dew once, but I didn't catch up with it every time, so you can take me with you this time." Gu Qingyan didn't want to say that she didn't go because she didn't want to get up in the past.
Seeing her talking such serious nonsense, Han Yan said to Su Tanxue: "Oh, Tanxue, if you really go alone, we can rest assured, but there is an extra four girls who can't wake up next to him, and his brother has to find someone to take care of." After saying that, everyone in this room smiled as if they understood, and Gu Qingyan rolled his eyes.
On the second day, Su Tanxue looked at Gu Qingyan who was in a daze in front of her, covered her mouth and chuckled.
At this time, Gu Qingyan was wearing a bamboo-blue caftan and long skirt, with a long hairpin inserted into her half-draped and half-pulled hairpin, a strand of green silk tied with a hairband, and a few pieces of decoration like peach blossom petals fell under the hairband.
Su Tanxue was dressed lightly, carrying two bottles that were intended to hold morning dew, and as soon as she walked, the two bottles collided and made a soft sound. Su Tanxue was already wearing light makeup, Gu Qingyan was cleaned up by Su Xin in her sleep, but she didn't forget to grab her mask and put it on before going out, she was in a daze, and heard Su Tanxue say softly: "Qingyan, if it doesn't work, I'll go by myself." ”
Gu Qingyan waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll wake up after walking for a while." She also knew that she was staring at her now, but after saying that, she pulled Su Tanxue out of the villa.
Let's say that outside the villa, the people sent by Zhao Yueqi didn't find out what was going on, so they kept staring outside, and when they saw Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue coming out, they followed. Sensing the movement, Gu Qingyan woke up in an instant, and felt a little funny in his heart, thinking that this thing was a bit funny, Beiming and Dongli, who were hidden in the shadows, had to silently mourn for those unknown people, but they saw Gu Qingyan's fleeting playfulness.
The mountain road here is okay, not very steep, Gu Qingyan has always let Su Tanxue walk in front, and he has been paying attention to his every move behind him. Along the way, the two talked from time to time, Su Tanxue knew that Gu Qingyan was sleepy every time the seasons turned, Zong Yue said that this was related to Gu Qingyan's physique, so everyone let her go at this time.
As for Su Tanxue, she occasionally comes to the back mountain to pick morning dew, in order to spice up when making snacks in the kitchen. "So it's usually Hanyan who accompanies you?" Gu Qingyan asked, there is a small slope here, Gu Qingyan walked forward and turned around to pull Su Tanxue, and a little further forward for the two of them, it was the place where Su Tanxue picked the morning dew.
Su Tanxue took Gu Qingyan and continued to walk, and replied to her: "Well, Brother Yan will practice in the morning, and sometimes he will accompany me." As she spoke, she went to observe Gu Qingyan's expression, she didn't know why, she was just curious, curious to see what changes Gu Qingyan's expression would have, but she couldn't see what she wanted to see.
Gu Qingyan was in the mood to think about anything else, as soon as she stopped here, the aura behind her was much weaker, and Beiming and Dongli would not have already made a move, so she adjusted her breath and was probing again.
Gu Qingyan had never picked morning dew by herself, watching Su Tanxue bend down and collect the dew on the flowers and leaves into the bottle little by little, she was also interested, anyway, seeing that those people had no plans to show up, just wait, it didn't matter what they were going to do if they couldn't make a move, Gu Qingyan would not let them go back, it was for sure.
Don't look at just two small bottles, the two girls also picked up for a while, and now they are tired, so they sit on the stone on one side, breathing the mountain air, next to it is a stream, the spring water flowing down the mountain flows slowly along the stream, Gu Qingyan is like returning to the peach blossom stream, Su Tanxue wanted to reach out to wash her hands, but accidentally slipped her foot and went to the water. Gu Qingyan was quick, grabbed Su Tanxue, and the two left the stream: "Are you okay?" ”
Su Tanxue calmed down and shook her head, just now Gu Qingyan grabbed her and left the creek It felt like walking in the wind, fast and light, Su Tanxue was a little excited: "Is that light work?" ”
Gu Qingyan saw Su Tanxue's little excitement, confirmed that she was fine, and then said, "Do you want to learn?" ”
Su Tanxue nodded quickly, Gu Qingyan suddenly became joking, and looked at Su Tanxue with a smile and said, "If your brother Yan agrees, I will teach you." ”
After hearing this, Su Tanxue was about to fight with Gu Qingyan, and for a while, she heard the light laughter of two girls in the valley.
Dong Li and Bei Ming silently exchanged glances on the tree not far away at this time, Gu Qingyan looked up, saw Bei Ming's gesture to her right back, then turned around, and hit the embroidery knife that had been hidden in his sleeve in that direction, and heard a muffled snort, a figure fell from above, struggling twice and there was no movement, Su Tanxue was stunned for a while, Dong Liang appeared and came to Gu Qingyan's side, Gu Qingyan instructed Dong Li to send Su Tanxue back to the villa first, and then jumped to chase the other two people who had just fled due to movement, Beiming had already followed first, It was not difficult for Gu Qingyan to chase them.
Originally, the three of them followed behind Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue, and they used Fudi's shadow technique to hide in the woods, and at first they wanted to evacuate after confirming that Su Tanxue was the person they were looking for, but who would have thought that these three people were followed by Beiming and Dongli, so the three of them decided to continue to hide for the time being. It's just that Gu Qingyan is who, when she found out from the beginning, she didn't plan to let these unstable factors go back alive, but when she wanted to solve them, it was a blink of an eye.
