Chapter 31, Bamboo Branch Lane
Mu Tao added vegetables to Guiyan next to her, but Guiyan refused, she was used to it alone, and many people added this and that next to her, but they were not used to it.
After breakfast, Guiyan took a short rest, Yu Guang saw the sword on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, he raised his lips and smiled, took the sword and walked out of the room, his posture was like the wind.
Coincidentally, there is also an apricot blossom tree in this yard, and at this time the flowering season is about to pass, Guiyan swept the sword under the tree, and brought the sword wind to pick off the pear petals on the tree.
Rainy.
Guiyan stood in the rain, closed his eyes and let go of his mind, and his body moved with his heart.
One move and one style, all wrapped in a cold air, as fast as electricity, but with a sense of beauty.
Ye Liancheng looked at her under the corridor, with a bright light in his eyes.
The sword of the smoke is as arrogant as frost and as beautiful as the moonlight. Between the ups and downs of the movements, it reminds people of the sea of clouds above the nine heavens.
The sea of clouds is churning, and there is a fairy, coming from the moon, light and beautiful, but with a cold face, which makes it difficult to approach.
Guiyan stopped his movements and meditated while standing with his eyes closed under the tree. The apricot blossoms of a tree turned into rain, fluttered down, and fell on Guiyan's head.
Ye Liancheng suddenly felt that Guiyan was a beauty, not about her appearance, but about her bones.
And the real beauty has always been in the bones, not in the skin.
After a while, Guiyan opened her eyes, she was immersed in her own world, and she hadn't noticed that Ye Liancheng had been watching her for a long time.
She smiled, and her eyebrows and eyes looked like an apricot blossom.
She picked up Frost Hua with one hand and slowly stroked the blade with the other.
"Well, I didn't disappoint you, did I?" It seems to be for the sword, and it is like for a woman in black.
Frost has a spirit, and the sword body roars softly, as if in response to her.
Ye Liancheng walked over from the side of the porch, and Guiyan heard footsteps and looked at him.
I could only hear him say, "You Long is shocked, and it can't compare to your sword." ”
Guiyan lowered his face coldly and didn't say a word.
She still remembered that he had drugged her unconscious last night, and she was a ghost doctor, and she was also in the gutter.
Ye Liancheng's eyes lit up, it was when he was excited, he was treated coldly by Guiyan, and he didn't care.
He did not wear red today, but black, and the cuffs and hem were embroidered with unknown patterns in gold thread.
The black jade crown stood up his long hair, his eyebrows were narrow, and his phoenix eyes were now amazingly bright.
Guiyan didn't know what he was doing, and he quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind to force him away, just like last night.
"Today is the annual blessing festival in Lingcheng, I will take you out." Ye Liancheng has a good temper today.
Guiyan reflexively wanted to refuse, but some scenes crossed her mind, and she changed her mind.
She nodded, "Okay." ”
Ye Liancheng smiled, "Let's go change clothes." ”
Guiyan was stunned for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, and wondered in his heart.
I can't think about it that much, so let it be.
Walking towards the room, Ye Liancheng looked at her back, his eyes meaningful.
He had already figured out that she must have to go out with him today, and if she didn't want to just now, he had other ways.
Guiyan entered the room, only to see a neatly folded dress on the bed, and there were corresponding accessories next to it.
She unfolded her clothes, stunned, and then smiled coldly.
Didn't Ye Liancheng want to play? Then she will play with him. It's just a piece of clothing, and she doesn't care so much about it.
Mu Tao entered the room, helped her get dressed, tied her dark belt, and hung a jade pendant.
Guiyan picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, only to feel that the tentacles were warm and the color was clear, and it was indeed a good jade.
Mu Tao pulled her to the dressing mirror, Guiyan frowned and wanted to refuse, but seeing the body she was wearing today, she thought about it.
After all, you have to do a full set of plays.
The two of them walked out of the city lord's mansion together and stood on the square street, with the bluestone slab under their feet that had been full of vicissitudes.
Guiyan suddenly remembered how he and Lu Jingzhi came to Devil's City in a carriage, and the streets at that time were much more lively than today.
Today, many of the vendors have not come out, and even many shops on the street are closed.
Guiyan raised his eyes to look at Ye Liancheng, and suddenly had some very dark thoughts, could it be that the gold mine of the City Lord's Mansion was finished, and the Devil City was about to close down, and all these people moved their families.
This is, of course, unrealistic.
Lu Jingzhi said that the Devil City has half of the gold in circulation in this continent, what a large amount of gold reserves it must be, even if the mine is finished, with the business of the Devil City, it will not cross.
Ye Liancheng didn't know what she was strange about, and he didn't care.
"Let's go, I'll show you somewhere."
was about to pull her away, but Guiyan next to him put his hand behind him.
Ye Liancheng pounced, his face was a little bad, but he still didn't get angry, he glanced at her and said, "There are a lot of people on that street next, don't lose it." ”
……
There are some people who are born with the ability to make people see him at a glance among thousands of people.
Lu Jingzhi is definitely that kind of person.
When Ye Liancheng appeared at the mouth of Zhuzhi Alley with Guiyan, the crowd was surging and the sound was noisy.
Guiyan saw the person in the crowd at a glance, with black hair and white clothes, elegant as bamboo.
He was waiting in front of a stall, watching the master in front of him weave a lantern with bamboo strips.
It was a very old master, with gray hair and a gray beard, and the skin on his face was like dry bark.
There were quite a lot of people in front of the other stalls, and only Lu Jingzhi was waiting for him.
The rabbit lantern has already been formed, the master's hand speed is not fast, Lu Jingzhi has probably been waiting for a while, but the corners of his mouth are still warm smiles, and there is no impatience.
Guiyan saw a little child passing by him, and tore off the jade pendant on his waist, like a lively loach, and swam into the crowd.
Lu Jingzhi was looking at the master pasting paper on the stall, and he didn't react at all.
Guiyan frowned, and hurriedly entered the crowd to chase the child.
Ye Liancheng looked at Lu Jingzhi's figure, his face was gloomy, and when he saw Guiyan leaving, he didn't stop him.
He walked towards Lu Jingzhi, just as Lu Jingzhi looked up, and the two of them glanced at each other across the flow of people.
There was a smile in Lu Jingzhi's eyes, and in Ye Liancheng's eyes, it was a danger.
Walking to the stall and glancing at the lantern under the old man, Ye Liancheng said without yin or yang, "Master Lu is really good, he can even invite Mr. Orihua." ”
Mr. Orihua is not well-known now, but thirty or twenty years ago, he was a figure in the rivers and lakes.
Legend has it that this man has a pair of skillful hands, and no matter what you show him, he can make you exactly the same.
Later, because he was involved in a private matter in the court of the Yue Kingdom, he was chased and killed by the killer and disappeared from the past.
No one knew that he had slashed ten cuts in his face, disfigured his face, and became a stall owner in Devil's Town, where he stayed for eighteen years.
Lu Jingzhi smiled, "It's just a coincidence." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the lantern under Mr. Orihua's hand, and he looked very serious.
Ye Liancheng didn't speak, and waited beside him, waiting for Guiyan to come back.
When the lantern was ready, the master handed it to Lu Jingzhi, who took it and gave the master a gold ingot.
The old master took the gold, and his face did not change at all, as if he had received a stone.
The corners of Ye Liancheng's eyes twitched, but an ordinary lantern was given so much, and in other stalls, more than a thousand could be bought.
Suddenly, the old master raised his head, with a wrinkled face like bitter bark, and two slightly cloudy eyes glanced at Ye Liancheng.
He spoke, his voice old and dry, "I have lived in this city for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to be recognized by two juniors today. ”
Lu Jingzhi shook his head with a smile, and didn't care, "The money and goods are clear, I'll go first." ”
As he spoke, he left the stall with his very important rabbit lantern.
The old stall owner glanced at his back and lowered his head, his cloudy eyes dark.
Ye Liancheng frowned, not knowing what Lu Jingzhi had in mind.
He didn't believe that Lu Jingzhi didn't notice the thief just now, and he didn't see Guiyan, but now he didn't wait for Guiyan to come back.
Forget it, Lu Jingzhi is more cunning than a fox, since he is gone, he must have calculated it.
glanced at Mr. Orihua, who was sitting on the pony and bowed his head and stopped talking, and said in a low voice, "Since Mr. has lived in Devil City for more than ten years without incident, then there will be nothing to do next." ”
The old master didn't raise his head.
Ye Liancheng didn't have time to see his reaction, and chased after him in the direction that Lu Jingzhi left.
After he left, Mr. Orika glanced in the direction they were leaving, and a little smile suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes, which was fleeting.
He picked up a bamboo tube from the basket next to him, put a few copper plates in it, shook it, and poured it on the table.
There was no expression on the originally wrinkled face, but in a few seconds, as if he understood something, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up amazingly.
He looked at the hexagram and kept muttering, "Atmospheric transporter!" Atmospheric transporter," his fingers quickly gestured across the stall, "No, no, there is one person missing, and there is one more person!" ”
The people next to him saw the old man's crazy and chaotic appearance, and did not dare to approach, but only walked around two steps slightly.
I don't know how long it has been, the sun is setting, and the twilight is four.
The people in Zhuzhi Lane were suddenly frightened by a burst of old and rough laughter, turned their heads to look over, and saw an old man in shabby clothes and a face like Yama Luo tidy up his stall in three or two and walked towards the outside of Zhuzhi Alley.
His cloudy eyes were amazingly bright, his clenched fists were still a little trembling, and the whole person was excited like a madman.
The guests on the stall next to him were taken aback, frowning and looking unhappy, "What's wrong with this crazy old man?" ”
The stall owner gave him a cool look when he didn't notice, "He's not crazy, he's smart." ”
The guest retorted disdainfully, "Crazy, it's almost night, it's the best time for business in Zhuzhi Lane, and this old man has run away, isn't he sick." ”
