Chapter 0239 Mist
Kyoto.
…………
The young man in a gray suit walked quickly to Yi Xian and Yue'er and said: "Just now I saw that Gongzi's road was uneven, and he made a righteous move, and he was smart and thoughtful, and he also had a long history of heroism, he is really a model for my generation, and he usually likes to make friends with people like Gongzi, I wonder if the two of you can appreciate your face and find a place nearby to talk about it?"
Yi Xian said: "This son is falsely praised, and he just happened to meet him in the next place."
The man in gray said: "Childe, don't be like this, there were so many onlookers just now, and none of them stepped forward, which is enough to show what Childe is, what, how about we find a place to talk about it?"
The man in gray sent out an invitation again, as if he really wanted to make a deal with the fairy.
Yi Xian glanced at Yue'er, saw that there was no unwilling expression on her face, and he also felt that he should get to know more people, so he immediately agreed.
The man in gray was also full of joy when he saw that Yi Xian agreed, so he led the two to a restaurant, and the three of them went to the second floor, found a remote location, and after ordering the wine and food, they took advantage of the time to serve the food, and several people chatted.
…………
…………
"I don't know the name of the son?"
The man in gray asked.
"Under the surname Yi, the name is immortal. This is Yue'er. ”
After that, Yue'er also showed slightly.
"It turned out to be Yi Gongzi and Miss Yue'er, and they are polite." The man in gray hurriedly returned.
After a slight pause, the man in gray said, "In Xiafu's surname is Ximen, and the name is said in the night."
"Oh? Childe called Simon Ye and said? ”
Yi Xian seemed to be interested in the name of the man in gray.
"Yes, I don't know what Master Yi has to say?" The man in gray asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that I vaguely feel as if I've heard this name somewhere........." Yi Xian said as he recalled.
Just talking about the excitement, Xiao Er has already brought the wine and food, this restaurant should be considered the first big restaurant in Kyoto, just look at the surrounding environment and the clothes of the guests who eat here.
After Xiao Er put the wine and food neatly, he also introduced the wine and food on the table, what 'crab meat', 'shrimp roe and winter bamboo shoots', 'five silk noodles', 'spiced mandarin fish', 'tangerine peel beef' and so on, just by listening to the name, you know that this is not an ordinary thing.
Anyway, Yi Xian and Yue'er had never eaten it before, and in Yi Xian's feeling, the ugly mushroom that he had eaten in his life was already the most beautiful in the world.
After the second child introduced the food, he introduced the wine, and the name of the wine was 'Yin Ming', which sounded very strange.
After Xiao Er left, Ximen Ye said that he first picked up the wine jug and poured it full of wine for Yi Xian, Yue'er and himself, and then asked, "How old is Yi Gongzi?"
"Eighteen."
"Ha, I'll be eighteen in a few months, and I'm going to call Brother Yi when I see it."
"Don't dare to be."
"Brother Yi, junior brother, let's take a test for you, do you know the origin of this 'Yin Wine'?"
Simon Ye said that he seemed to be very interested in these miscellaneous things.
Yi Xian pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "This, I really know."
…………
"Oh? Brother Yi talk about it. ”
Simon Ye said as he pushed the wine glass to the side and poked his head forward.
Yi Xian sat up straight, and said slowly: "Guru Jialan has a memory: Liu Bai, a native of Suzhou, is good at making wine. In the summer and June, when the summer is in the summer, the wine is stored in the middle of the day, and the taste of the wine does not move after ten years. The fragrance of drinking is beautiful, drunk and menstrual months do not wake up. The Jingshi Dynasty has more than a county and a domain, and they are paid from afar, more than a thousand miles. With its distance, it is called the underworld. ”
"Wonderful!! Brother Yi really knows!! Come on, come on, little brother will toast you first. ”
As he spoke, Simon Yeshu picked up his wine glass.
Seeing this, Yi Xian also picked up his wine glass.
The three of them laughed and went away.
…………
Ximen Ye said that while praising Yi Xian and Yue'er for their good amount of wine, he poured it full for the two of them and himself, and then raised his glass and said: "Acquaintance is fate, meet the two today, Ye said that he was very happy in his heart, this second glass of wine, should celebrate our acquaintance, come, do it!!"
After that, Ximen Ye raised his head and drank it all, Yi Xian and Yue'er then drank the wine in the cup, and after the three of them looked at each other, they put the cup down at the same time.
"I think Brother Yi, he should be from the martial arts."
Simon asked as he added the wine.
"Oh? I wonder why Simon Brothers asked this question? ”
"The younger brother looks at Brother Yi's footwork as if he has practiced light body kung fu, so he asks this question."
Ximen Ye said while sandwiching some food between the two of them.
"Brother Simon can even see this, and it seems that he is also a master."
Yi Xian said with a smile as he secretly thought about something.
"Don't dare, it's just that when I was a child, my father asked my younger brother to teach some martial arts, but it's just a surface."
Ximen Ye said that while eating a mouthful of food, he said, as if he wanted to hide something.
"Don't hide it, I'm a member of the martial arts."
Yi Xian saw that there was nothing unusual in Ximenye's tone, so he generously admitted it.
"Oh? I don't know which sect Brother Yi is a disciple of? ”
"This ........."
Yi Xian didn't expect Ximen Ye to ask so tightly all of a sudden, and he didn't think about whether he should tell the truth for a while.
Ximen Ye said that when he saw Yi Xian's appearance, he suddenly understood, laughed, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Little brother is offended, haha, it's a little abrupt, come and come, drink and drink."
Yi Xian saw that Ximen Ye said that he had changed the topic, so he followed him and said: "Okay, it is also a great blessing to see Brother Simon today, come, let's drink."
The three of them drank and ate at the same time, and they talked a lot during the period, and the three of them were very pleasant, and Ximen Ye said that he didn't ask about Yi Xian's mentorship again.
Time passed quickly, and Ximen Ye said that he had almost eaten it, and when he heard that Yi Xian and Yue'er said that they couldn't drink anymore, they called Xiao Er to settle the bill.
…………
Yi Xian drank a few more glasses at this time, although he was not drunk, but he was already in a trance, and when he heard that he was going to settle the bill, he hurriedly said, "Come on, I'll have a treat."
After finishing speaking, he also used his hand to take out the silver in his arms.
Yi Xian is confused, Yue'er is not confused, she is not stupid, just this meal, how can she get a dozen taels of silver, Yi Xian has a total of two taels of silver, and just now she gave it back to the sweet potato seller, and now she wants to treat herself as a good man, isn't it embarrassing.
Yue'er was pulling Yi Xian under the table with her hand, and she was smiling at Ximen Ye, and Yi Xian was still digging around in her arms without knowing it, pondering while digging.
Where did the two taels of silver you brought go?
Ximen Ye said how can Yi Xian have a treat, and Ximen Ye said that it is obviously much more old than Yi Xian, and when he saw Yue'er's expression, he knew what was going on, and while taking out the silver, he said: "Brother Yi, the younger brother is from this Kyoto, Brother Yi is a foreigner, you come here, of course I want to do my best to be a landlord, how can I let you have a treat, I will come."
After Yi Xian was pulled by Yue'er a few times, his mind cleared up, and he also remembered that he had no money, and he didn't know how to round the field, just when Ximen Ye spoke. Yi Xian also got off the donkey down the slope and said, "Ha, then let the brother break the bank, haha."
Ximen Ye said that while taking out the silver, he asked Xiao Er, who was standing on the side, "How much?" ”
The little two replied, "Twenty taels in total."
"What!!"
When Yi Xian and Yue'er heard Xiao Er's answer, they all screamed in unison, startling the people at the tables next to them.
"This ......... It costs twenty taels for a meal!! ”
Yi Xian shook his head and asked incredulously.
Seeing this, Ximen Ye smiled when he saw this. While taking out the silver to Xiao Er, he said: "Brother Yi don't be surprised, this restaurant is called 'Hexuan Building', it is the best restaurant in Kyoto, Brother Yi may be new to it, it is not clear, the dishes of this Hexuan Building are a must in Kyoto and even the entire surrounding area, and it is famous all over the world, so the price is naturally more expensive."
After listening to Ximenye's explanation, Yi Xian carefully tasted it, and only then did he understand a little, thinking that the dishes he ate just now did taste good, he had never eaten them at all in the past, and the wine, after drinking a lot, he didn't feel heartburn and uncomfortable, and it was a famous wine that he had only seen in the ancient books of Lingye Valley, thinking about this, twenty taels didn't seem too outrageous, but compared to when Yi Xian came out of the valley this time, Ling Wuxin only gave a few dozen taels, Yi Xian also felt that it was too incredible, thinking that he was only so much silver now, and he actually shouted for a treat, I can't help but laugh a little to myself.
…………
After the three of them came out of the restaurant, Ximen Ye said and said: "Brother Yi, Miss Yue'er, the younger brother's family lives in the east of Kyoto - Ximen Mansion, it is late today, if there is time another day, the two of you will come to my house, if my father sees the two, he will definitely be happy."
Yi Xian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll definitely visit another day!!"
Ximen Ye said that he saw that Yi Xian agreed, and said with a smile: "Brother Yi must come, if Brother Yi encounters any trouble in Kyoto, although he comes to find the younger brother, although the younger brother is not a prominent nobleman, but he is a local at all, and some things should be able to help."
Yi Xian was very happy when he saw that Ximen Ye was so enthusiastic, and agreed again and again.
Then, Ximen Ye said that he left, and Yi Xian and Yue'er were also ready to return to Jiuxuantang.
…………
…………
Soon, the second day arrived.
After Yi Xian and Yue'er had eaten early, they said hello to Mo Tu and hurried to the Purple Smoky Mountain.
When Yi Xian and Yue'er arrived at the tea shed yesterday, they found Qiu Yi already sitting there.
The two hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly to Qiu Yi, and greeted him.
Qiu Yi waved his hand to sit them down, and asked, "Who was following you yesterday, have you figured it out?"
"I know where it is, but I don't know who sent it."
Yi Xian's words seemed to make Qiu Yi a little confused.
While Qiu Yi was stunned, Yi Xian continued: "It's from Jiuxuantang, but I don't know if it's sent by Mo Bo's father."
"It definitely won't be from the Motu sect."
Qiu Yi seemed to know Mo Tu very well, and after hearing Yi Xian's suspicions, he immediately retorted.
"Why is the old man so sure?"
Yue'er seemed to be a little confused.
"Although the old guy Mo Tu is not very likable, he is still reasonable, besides, you are only two juniors, he will never do such a thing that undermines his appearance."
Qiu Yi quickly explained the reason.
"If it's not Uncle Mo, then it's definitely Master Mo."
Yi Xian said in an affirmative tone.
"Motu's son?"
"Exactly."
"Why the speculation?"
"In the Jiuxuan Hall, except for Uncle Mo, only Master Mo is the only one who has this right, and the other people in the Jiuxuan Hall don't know us!!"
Yi Xian analyzed.
"Why, the son of Mo Tu has had a holiday with you?"
"There's nothing to be done."
"Then what did he send someone to follow you!!"
When asked this, even Qiu Yi himself was confused.
"This ......... Because ........."
Yi Xian seemed to be difficult to speak.
"How are you struggling, say it quickly!!"
Qiu Yi is a martial arts master of the older generation, and his style of action is like fog and electricity, and he is very unaccustomed to seeing people swallowing and spitting, so he seems to be a little unhappy.
Yi Xian saw that Qiu Yi seemed to be a little angry, and he didn't dare to be verbose, so he said directly: "Master Mo seems to have a good impression of Yue'er, so he .........."
When Yue'er saw that Yi Xian said that her head was up, she couldn't react at once, so she only lowered her head.
Qiu Yi was also stunned when he heard this, then put down the carbon hook in his hand, stood up and took a closer look at Yue'er, then sat down and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I have to say that Mo Tu's son is still very discerning!!"
"Ah.........h
Yi Xian didn't expect this Qiu Yi to look very solemn, and he would actually say such a sentence, and he didn't know how to say it at the moment.
Yue'er's side buried her head lower.
Qiu Yi saw that neither of them answered, so he smiled and said: "Okay, don't be joking, to be serious, you still have to take this matter seriously, maybe Mo Tu's son sent someone to follow you without authorization, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is greedy for Yue'er's girl, as for the strangeness in this, you still have to find a way to figure it out yourself, in addition, if it is convenient, you can also fan Mo Tu's ears and see Mo Tu's reaction, which may be beneficial to you."
Yi Xian heard that Qiu Yi was right, so he nodded and said, "The junior has written it down."
Qiu Yi stood up at this time, walked outside the tea shed and said, "Okay, these are small things, you can do it yourself, go, follow me up the mountain."
"What are you doing up the mountain?"
As soon as they heard that they were going up the mountain, Yi Xian and Yue'er were a little confused.
"This Purple Smoky Mountain is a rare place, it's a pity not to take a look, let's go!!"
After Qiu Yi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yi Xian and Yue'er to reply, and walked straight towards the mountain.
Yi Xian and Yue'er wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that Qiu Yi had already gone up the mountain, they didn't have time to ask more, so they followed and went up.
…………
The Purple Smoky Mountain is more than 200 zhang high, which is not very high, but the scenery in the mountain is quite beautiful, and Yi Xian and Yue'er climbed up the mountain path with Qiu Yi.
Along the way, I sometimes heard the sound of the water flowing down the stream, and sometimes I saw the ancient pines with strong and upright branches and leaves, which I had never seen in the Absolute Mountains in the far north.
…………
It didn't take long for the three of them to reach the top of the mountain, although the mountain road was rugged, but in terms of Qiu Yi's martial arts, it was no different from walking on flat ground.
After climbing to the top of the mountain, Qiu Yi took Yi Xian and Yue'er along the path for a long time before stopping.
After stopping, Yi Xian and Yue'er realized that they seemed to have arrived at Qiu Yi's place.
…………
In the small courtyard fenced with bamboo fences, there are a few chickens and ducks and other poultry roaming freely in the garden, and there is only a house made of wood in the garden, except for a well.
After Qiu Yi took the two into the courtyard, he said that he asked the two of them to wait for a while, and then went into the house by himself.
Seeing Qiu Yi enter the house, Yi Xian and Yue'er began to talk about what they had seen and heard along the way.
I just said a few words. Qiu Yi came out, compared with just now, in addition to changing his clothes, he had an extra sword in his hand.
…………
…………
Liling Castle.
…………
On this day, when one walks on a tree-covered path, away from the hustle and bustle, coldness and contempt of the outside world.
The man gained a feeling of extreme quiet, blocking out everything that was extra.
It doesn't matter if it's quiet, distant, or something that emits all sorts of noisy sounds.
The man walked quietly, so quietly, without alarming the world around him, including the flowers, trees, insects, and birds on the side of the road.
Suddenly, around a bend, the man saw two little creatures fighting, and the way they fought seemed small and ridiculous.
One wants to encroach on the other's lair, and the other wants to drive the invader away to defend his homeland.
Soon, the defenders of the territory gained the upper hand, and the other fled.
And then everything was calm again.
The man was very silent.
But when that person looks up. I saw that the path had climbed up the hill, and the small waterfall beside the road was also bubbling peacefully.
All of this seemed so harmonious, and so self-defeating.
That little bug defends his homeland just as man defends his territory. Man always tries to protect everything about himself, to protect what he trusts.
Perhaps at this point, there is no difference between a human being and a small bug.
…………
An owl's call could be heard in the distance, and another owl responded in a deep voice from the other side of the valley.
It's still dawn, and the hustle and bustle of the day hasn't yet begun.
In the place of sunrise, there is something strange and superior.
To the dawn and the strange and quiet dawn, it seems that it should be sung.
In such an early morning, when the sun is shining and there is no wind, all the vegetation, trees and flowers are quiet and steady, and they are all waiting for the sun to rise.
However, the sun may not come out for half an hour, but the morning sun sings the leading role, covering the whole field with its strange silence.
…………
Slowly, little by little, the light began to caress the top of the hill with its hands, making it brighter, golden in color, and the scene clearer.
…………
The man slowly climbed up, leaving the whole village behind, and the people on the ground began to make a noisy noise, and the crickets, quails, and all sorts of birds around began to sing their morning songs or sacred songs, and greeted the beginning of the day with all their heart.
By the time the sun had risen, the man had melted into the morning light, leaving everything behind.
The man is gone.
The mind has washed everything away.
The man walked leisurely, without the slightest feeling of being out of the way, completely integrated into the world.
The mist in the valley slowly gathered, and as the mist thickened, the man had become a part of it.
The more poetic the valley became, the more conformable, and the more maddened the man's imagination became.
…………
After a long time, the man came down from the mountain, and heard the wind murmuring, the insects singing, and the birds singing. Looking into the distance, I saw that the mist had lifted.
