Chapter Thirty-Nine: Thoughts Under the Moon
Most of them are incense powder on the friars, which is not pungent, but a little like perfume, faint, mixed together, with the illusion of a hundred flowers blooming.
Gusu Duyun went straight to a building, and Yang Xi saw a few big characters written in cursive on it, flowing smoothly in one go.
Gusu Duyun handwritten.
She could see it.
The building is very tall and very high, and from the perspective of recuperation, it almost goes straight into the sky, and the crossbar is hooked, and the atmosphere is majestic.
"Mochizuki Tower." The name is so straightforward.
There are already a lot of guests waiting in the Moon Tower, and of course it's not just for the moon viewing.
Gusu Duyun originally built this building so that the two races of people and demons could communicate the Tao together, and later there were more and more people and demons in the city, so they built higher and higher, and many romances of the two races were spread here.
Yang Xi felt the breath of many human races and demons, but there was no tense atmosphere of sword and crossbow pulling, but it was very harmonious.
Gusu Duyun stepped up the stairs, rejected many Taoist cultivators who came forward to talk, and came to the top of the Moon Tower.
A whole cat's head finally emerged, and the gold and silver eyes looked around with a glittering look.
It's a small space, with only one beam and tiled roof.
......: "Is this here to admire the moon or to appreciate loneliness?"
Recuperation thought sullenly.
"Gusu?" She woke up the inexplicably distracted Gusu Duyun.
"Hmm." Gusu dusk clouds shallow response, clear and clear voice echoing in the empty pavilion.
He swept directly over the glazed tiles of the building and stood on the highest point.
There is a spire, and the bright and huge moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the whole spire.
At the spire, a thumb-thick steel needle stands in the center.
Yang Xi jumped out directly and stood on the green glazed tiles, looking at the sky, and the man under the sky.
The man's clothes are hunting, blown by the wind, and under the moonlight, it is even cooler.
"Take a break and look at the moon." Gusu Duyun sat beside Yang Xi and picked it up on the cool glazed tiles and put it in his arms.
Yang Xi inexplicably felt that the current Gusu Duyun was very fragile.
The moon in the sky is round, very clear moon white, faint clouds come and go, the moon is always bright.
"Gusu?" Yang Xi shouted.
"Take a break." Gu Su Duyun's expression remained unchanged.
Yang Xi felt that Gusu Duyun was looking at the moon, but it didn't seem like she was looking at the moon, as if she was looking at someone through the moon.
"When you see the moon, can you remember anyone?" Gusu's blue pupils reflected the boundless moonlight, and a clear and slightly magnetic voice broke the silence.
"Yes." Of course, you can think of it, isn't the immortal of Guanghan Palace? Now they must be looking at these people on the earth through the moon, and she said one by one, "Sister Wangshu, and her little white rabbit, the white-haired girl we saw under the altar last time. ”
"yes, I know." Gu Su Duyun smiled lightly.
Yang Xi thought: The smile of the fairy is nothing more than that.
"When I was a child, someone came to see the moon with me once." He explained, as if telling a long-forgotten past.
"It was a Shangyuan Festival, and that person took me to eat the Lantern Festival and see the lanterns for the first time."
Yang Xi looked at Gusu Duyun, and under the moonlight, his figure became even more ethereal, as if he couldn't grasp it.
Yangxi felt that it should be a very important person to Gusu.
Father? Mother? It's all possible.
"And then?" Rest and prick up your ears to listen to what follows.
"And then the man died." This time, Gusu Duyun was very direct, which caught Yang Xi off guard.
He's dead? Finished?
She stared at Gu Su Duyun's eyes, her eyes clear, and after making sure that this story was not a joke, she felt that this man was really short talk.
There is a saying: people don't talk much?
"Who's that guy?" Yang Xi asked and began to guess for himself.
It is true that she is a little indifferent to life and death, and does not feel that death is an irreparable thing.
There are six paths of reincarnation, and that person will always have a way to be reborn in the world.
"An acolyte." Gusu Duyun said, and looked at the moonlight, it was also such a night, and the attendant died covered in blood.
He killed with his own hands.
That's the first person he killed.
At that time, his mother neglected to discipline and protect, and he was sold by the attendants for ten taels of silver.
He came back covered in blood, unbeknownst to his mother.
On the second day, he continued to work all day, from not dripping blood to killing with his own hands, and it took him only one night to digest.
Halfway through, he took a shower and wiped the blood off his body, only to feel extremely disgusting.
It was also that night that the City Lord's Mansion rested every day, and the lights were dimmed, and there was no light waiting for him to turn on, so that he understood that he was dispensable.
Gu Su Duyun didn't intend to tell Yang Xi this, no matter how much blood he had on his hands, in Yang Xi's heart, he had to be clean.
Even if it is superficial, this is his last decency.
"Oh." Yang Xi read a trace of indifference in Gu Su Duyun's eyes, maybe that person is not important, just a person whose name has not even been remembered.
"In the future, I will accompany you to watch the lanterns and eat the Lantern Festival." The nurturing paws wrapped around Gusu Duyun's arm in a comforting gesture, and his big eyes flickered.
"It's convenient to say, what is the Lantern Festival?" Thinking of this, I kind of want to eat a late-night snack.
Gusu Duyun was caught off guard and laughed, he wrapped the cat in his arms into a ball, and his white jade-like fingers shuttled through the period, making him even more cold: "How do you know how to eat?" ”
"I'm hungry." Yang Xi turned over and bit Gu Su Duyun's fingers, leaving two shallow tooth marks.
"I'll take you to dinner." Gusu Duyun smiled indulgently and hugged the cat in her arms.
On the pavilion towering into the clouds, people from all walks of life talked and laughed, the moon hung high, and between the bright streamers, a shadow flashed like an illusion on the side of the upstairs hook railing, and before anyone had time to take a closer look, it had disappeared.
Unexpectedly, Gusu Duyun actually jumped directly upstairs.
The good name is that the road is short.
Yang Xi felt that this was a good reason for cultivators.
For them, the road is no longer a road, anything can be a road.
Gusu Duyun shuttled between the lights with recuperation, and the lively crowd warmed the festive atmosphere.
After a while, he stopped in front of a shop.
There were very few people in the shop, only an old man who looked like a butcher and sparse customers.
There was an enamel bowl in front of the old man, with condiments such as onions, ginger and garlic, and some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and a large iron pot was set up with firewood, and the noodle soup in it was gurgling.
The dough is covered with white gauze on the side, and although it looks very coarse, it is very clean.
Even the old man's hands are covered with thin rubber sleeves.
"Guest, how many bowls of noodles?" The old man saw that Gusu Duyun had a handsome and fairy demeanor, without a flattering tone, and greeted him like all the guests.
"Two bowls, one bowl with less green onions, more pork ribs." Gusu Duyun put two pieces of pure silver in a jar and walked in.
Yangxi: This side is so expensive!
In the past, she and Gusu Duyun ate noodles for only half a tael of silver at most, and this time they ate four meals.
However, she also knows that Gusu Duyun is generally not a top delicacy, and he will not bring her here.
For a while, the cat's head poked out, and there was some anticipation.
Gusu Duyun directly entered the inner room, and through the curtain, the recuperation completely came out.
"Gusu, what kind of noodles is this?" She asked suspiciously, looking at the ingredients in front of the old man, there was nothing special.
"It's just pork ribs." Gusu Duyun replied.
In the past, Wuxiang Zhai is now in this remote place, but it can still remind him of the taste of his childhood.
The owner has long since passed away, and the current shopkeeper must be a descendant of the owner, but I don't know how many generations have passed.
Gusu Duyun still remembers the people's evaluation of the pork rib noodles here at that time: the lips and teeth are fragrant, three days are endless, and the initiation is like an afterlife.
At first, he thought it was an exaggeration, but then he came here by chance and found that his name was well deserved.
After a while, the boss came with two bowls of steaming noodles.
The cat's eyes are staring at the face closely.
The pork ribs are stewed softly, the soup is ruddy and clear, and the green onion is replaced by the boss with chicken hair, which is full of color and flavor.
But how can she eat it!
The cat's mouth sucked eagerly, but it could only get soup.
Over there, Gusu Duyun had already opened her mouth to eat, as if she hadn't seen the contradiction of nourishment.
A bite is slightly hot, and it is tasteless.
Gusu Duyun chewed the noodles in her mouth like wax, looked at Yang Xi and comforted, "I can't eat it either." ”
The cat's ears were pointy and drooping, and it was inexplicably a little lost.
Gusu Duyun touched the cat's head to show comfort.
The mana in the palm of the hand is soft and pure, and it is transmitted into the cat's dantian.
For a while, he felt warm on his body, and the heavy feeling of the dantian seemed to dissipate, and the meridians of the whole body suddenly became brisk and smooth.
The black light flashed, and the body of the black cat disappeared, turning into a girl in black.
Her eyes are beautiful and her smile is bright.
Ignoring Gu Su Duyun's action of putting on her coat, she was anxious to eat for herself.
A piece of old pork ribs melts in your mouth, the mellow meat juice fills your mouth, and then you take a bite of the strong noodles and drink a mouthful of rich soup, and the whole person is warmed up.
During this period, Gusu Duyun had already tightened the belt on the woman's waist one by one and completed it.
The white clothes of the moon covered the black clothes inside the recuperation.
Looking at the excellent appetite for nourishing breath, Gusu Duyun rarely ate a few more bites of noodles.
The chopsticks are stretched out to give you a few pieces of delicate pork ribs.
Yang Xi bowed his head: "Haw, haw." ”
After waiting until there was not a drop left in the soup bowl in front of him, Yang Xi raised his head and said to Gusu Duyun: "Gusu is really powerful. ”
It turned her into a human in one fell swoop.
Gusu Duyun indifferently wiped her grease mouth for nourishment, and then took out the fruit after the meal and gave it to her.
Yang Xi took a bite of the sycamore fruit, and walked out of the store with Gusu Duyun with satisfaction.
The old man was still kneading his dough with his head down, and he didn't say a word.
Gusu Duyun silently hooked the soft hand that was running around to recuperate, and regretted that she had been released too early.
Along the way, I watched juggling, bought lanterns, guessed lantern riddles, and then was pulled to the center of the city by Gusu Duyun.
Yang Xi carried the little rabbit lantern, the rabbit eyes inside the two red lights, the belly is a small night pearl, lined with the rabbit body white, red eyes, very beautiful.
In the middle of the city is a huge autumn leaf tree with red ribbons and wooden signs floating on it.
Men and women surrounded the tree, some seeking marriage, some marrying, and some making an agreement for the next generation.
It's all a matter of love, the job of the old man.
