Although it was deserted more than usual, there were still many people in the hall of Dusk Cloud Tower.

After watching the lively guests, many college students have set up a celebration banquet tonight, and the hall is still full of people.

Individual visitors in different costumes walk in, like water droplets melting into the sea, without a trace.

They are all neighbors who look down and don't look up.

The old man with the small jasper pot walked into the gate of the Dusk Cloud Tower, and was caught by the regular customers who were watching the singing and dancing.

"Ouch, Master Liu, why are you here tonight? The Hedong lion at home went out to hang out? ”

The old man is Liu Fuzi, who taught Mengtong in a private school in the east of the city, and has lived in Huizhou for many years, and everyone in the neighborhood knows about the idea of the family.

Liu Fuzi's old face was slightly red, he carried the jasper smoke pot behind him, and shouted with his neck stalked, "Why do I have to go out for my mother-in-law to come?" The old man doesn't care about this, he can come when he wants! ”

The regulars burst into laughter. Liu Fuzi looked unconvinced, his eyes glanced at the center of the hall, and he looked a little weak, and finally picked a side position.

"Look, look," the regular customer snorted, "and said that he was not afraid, why didn't he sit in the middle, not that he was afraid that the mother-in-law at home would find him!" ”

Liu Fuzi's ears were red, and he called a pot of wine and drank it himself.

On the other side of the hall, a young scholar hurriedly walked to a wine table, and the other teenagers at the wine table who were pushing glasses and changing lamps stood up one after another, "Shi Sheng is late again, punish wine!" ”

The young scholar made amends for his sins, took the wine glass handed by his partner and drank it all, attracting applause.

……

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the people who have watched the candidates for the martial arts examination, the students who have not lost their interest, and the Xiucai who have picked up their juniors are pouring in, and the Duyun Tower is full again.

The lanterns in the building have been replaced with new candles, and the fireworks never sleep. The cold wind was gusting outside, and the building was in full swing.

At midnight, the atmosphere in the building was in full swing, drinking and fisting, silk and bamboo orchestras, and mixed with the laughter of women. On the high platform in the hall, the special repertoire that will be staged every midnight opens, and everyone who has drunk high has crowded to the high platform, and the people in the whole hall are huddled together, and no one notices some figures who quietly leave after the crowd.

There are guests who have just arrived, there are also regular customers who have come in the morning, some people are holding drunk friends, and there are many people holding girls, and they are crookedly walking upstairs, and everyone who passes by has moved away, with a strange face.

Everyone took a different staircase, a different route, and some even came from the passage of the side building.

Each person ascends to the highest floor of the Twilight Tower at different times and enters a different room.

Without any warning, and without any similarities, the Twilight Cloud Tower on this night was no different from usual.

It's like a mess of threads, and no one knows who until they reach the final destination.

On the tall building, Li and his family looked into the distance by the railing, watching the lights of the people in the city go out little by little, and looking at the mountains in the distance.

It was bitterly cold outside, and she was wearing only a red cardigan skirt, as if she didn't know anything about the cold.

The woman exhaled and became white in the cold wind. It was also cold weather, which reminded her of the first time she met her master in the ice and snow.

When she was ten years old, she was thrown naked on the street on the biggest snowy day because she didn't want to pick up customers.

She was buried by the snow, everything around her was white, she couldn't see anything, she couldn't hear, she couldn't feel anything.

Until a woman holding a lute came far away.

The woman was dressed in red, and her eyes burned like a burning flame.

I heard the woman sigh and stop beside her.

That's when her world got color.

The sound of banging on the side of the street interrupted Li everyone's thoughts, she glanced at the crowd on Flower Street, her eyes became indifferent, she turned back to the house, and closed the doors and windows.

There was nothing in the room except a long table and six chairs.

Li and the others sat alone at the table, staring at the only oil lamp on the table.

When the first light burst on, the sound of a mechanism suddenly sounded in the room. The sound is extremely small, and if you don't listen carefully, it's easy to be drowned out by the singing and dancing downstairs.

Except for the one facing the street, the edges of the wallpaper on the other three walls were suddenly opened.

On each wall, two half-human-high secret doors appeared.

This room turned out to be connected to six different rooms.

In each secret door, a person bent down and walked in.

People dressed in different clothes entered through the secret door, turned around and closed the mechanism, and walked to the chair opposite Li and sat down without moving.

Liu Fuzi closed the last secret door, sat on the last chair, looked around, handed the small jasper smoking pot in his hand to Li everyone, and said in a low voice, "It's you?" ”

Everyone Li nodded, reached out and took out a semicircular piece from his arms, "I sent another half from Shendu." ”

Everyone present opened their eyes wide and looked at the things in the hands of everyone Li.

It can be seen that this is a piece of white jade carved into things, carved with mountains and rivers, long rainbow through the sun, in the meantime a bird of prey that looks like a phoenix and is not a phoenix is flapping its wings and soaring, the wing feathers are clear, as if burning, the eyes of the raptor are like a little cinnabar, bright red and brilliant, and the brilliance is unparalleled.

And there is a hideous port in the center of this white jade, as if it has been melted by something.

Liu Fuzi trembled and stretched out his hand into his arms, took out the other half of the white jade from the pocket attached to the meat, and put it together with the white jade in the hands of the Li family, and the irregular fractures were perfectly connected, and even the gaps could not be seen.

At this time, it can be seen that this white jade is actually a complete token, and the unknown bird of prey occupies most of the entire token, and the mountains, rivers, sun and moon are all covered under its wings of flowing fire.

Everyone Li looked at the tokens that had been merged into one, looked at the honest old master in front of them, and asked, "Is it you?" ”

Huizhou City has been unknown all his life, only Liu Fuzi, who is famous for his fear of the interior, has disappeared with a flattering smile on his face, and he looks like two people on weekdays.

Liu Fuzi nodded.

"It's me." He said.

Everyone Li also nodded, and the white jade token separated again, and was carefully retracted into the arms of the two.

Li and the others swept around the case and asked, "That steel sword still hasn't been found, has it?" ”

The meaty-faced dart head replied, "If you don't find it, it's like a stone sinking into the sea." ”

"What about today's broken sword?" Li continued to ask.

"No," replied the young scholar this time, "I have been standing by the stage, but the young lady was very careful, and the broken sword was handed over to her brother immediately after stepping down, and then it was also stuffed in the carriage and brought home, without a chance to strike." ”

"Yes," Li everyone's eyes flashed, "It seems that this is the only way to go." ”

I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
