Chapter 18: The Sound of the Smoke in the Twilight
The two walked slowly on the crowded street, Nangong Ming introduced all kinds of interesting things from time to time, and Mu Qiu was a little bored.
Seeing that Mu Qiu couldn't raise his interest, Nangong Ming's mind turned, and he said mysteriously: "Brother Qiu, I'll take you to a place and promise you like it." ”
"Oh? Where to go. Mu Qiu yawned and asked lazily.
"You'll find out when you go." With an expression you understand, Nangong Ming took the lead in leading the way.
Not long after, the two came to a lake, it was the mirror heart tower that night and Nangong Muwan saw, night is coming, the wooden boat on the mirror heart lake is swayed by the oars, the red lantern and the lake water reflect each other, plus the fireworks by the lake mixed with laughter.
"Ming Gongzi, you haven't been here for a while, please come in." Crossing the long bamboo bridge, the two came to the gate of the Jingxin Building, and a lightly dressed woman said coquettishly, and then made a gesture of please.
"Hmm" replied without saying much, and walked in with Mu Qiu. Mu Qiu behind Nangong Ming looked left and right with interest, this Qinglou was his first time.
"Brother Qiu, how is it, it's okay here." Walking into the Mirror Heart Building, Nangong Ming said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's quite lively." Mu Qiu looked around and smiled.
Seeing that Mu Qiu was interested, Nangong Ming was even more energetic. Talking about the introduction, there were several women with decent looks to greet him, but he refused.
"This hall is full of vulgar fans, if you really want to play, you still have to go to the second floor." I know everything about the mirror heart building between words.
"Oh? I think these girls are good. Mu Qiu said with a smile.
"Brother Qiu, have you been practicing in retreat?" Nangong Ming asked.
"Well, sort of, this is my first time out of the sect." Mu Qiu replied casually.
"Let's go, I'll take Brother Qiu to meet the real beauty." After saying that, Nangong Ming excitedly took Mu Qiu to the second floor.
The second floor of the mirror heart building is not too big, divided into four halls in the southeast and northwest, each hall has a different style, and people who can go up to the second floor are people with strength or status.
As soon as the two of them went upstairs, they heard the sound of a piano coming from the east hall. Nangong Ming's eyes lit up, and he said with a little excitement: "Brother Qiu, we are lucky this time, I will take you to meet someone." ”
Xunsheng entered the east hall, there were not many people in the room, there were two men sitting at the table drinking, there were two maids standing next to the women, the person playing the piano sat on the cushion, it was a woman, a white shirt, the appearance of the delicate revealed an indescribable sense of enchantment, the green silk fell, a red hairband tied against the woman's skin white and red, on both knees there was a piano more than three feet long, green fingers on the strings beating back and forth, emitting a melodious piano sound, like flowing water, making people feel refreshed and happy.
At this time, the rich man dressed in brocade on the seat smiled slightly when he saw Nangong Ming, and made a gesture to invite the two, Nangong Ming didn't make a sound, led Mu Qiu to sit at the table, Gu Zi picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a glass for Mu Qiu, and then poured a glass for himself. took a shallow sip, turned his gaze to the woman playing the piano, and listened carefully to the sound of the piano.
After a piano sounded, the woman picked up the guqin on her lap and put it beside her, and the lotus step moved lightly to the table, and the rich and noble son invited her to sit down with a smile.
"Half Moon has never heard the sound of the Dusk Girl's piano, and this piano skill has improved a lot. The lightness in this song just now made my body and mind a lot easier. The rich boy spoke.
"Gongzi Wenxuan praised it falsely, it is an honor for Duyan to have Gongzi as a bosom friend." Although the woman was polite, Mu Qiu still saw a little disdain between her eyebrows.
"Ming Gongzi is also here." At this time, the woman saw Nangong Ming on the table.
"Sister Twilight." Nangong Ming replied politely. actually lost his usual arrogance.
"Amin, when did you come back? Who is this? The rich man asked with a puzzled face.
"I forgot to introduce, this is my eldest brother Muqiu." Nangong Ming introduced.
Then he pointed to the rich prince and said to Mu Qiu: "Brother Qiu, this is Wu Wenxuan, the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion. ”
The identity of the rich and noble prince made Mu Qiu a little surprised, but he didn't expect to see the people from the City Lord's Mansion here. Wu Wenxuan was also a little surprised when he heard Nangong Ming's introduction, isn't this Nangong Ming only a sister of Nangong Muwan, when did such a big brother appear.
He smiled and raised his glass and said, "It turned out to be Ah Ming's eldest brother, that is his own person, come to Muqiu Gongzi, I will toast you." ”
Mu Qiu didn't answer, just smiled and picked up the cup and tasted it, the entrance was soft and the aftertaste was endless, it was really a good wine.
Wu Wenxuan, who drank it all, saw that Mu Qiu just took a sip, his face couldn't help but change, and he still said with a smile: "Does Mu Qiu Gongzi look down on me Wu Wenxuan?" ”
"My eldest brother doesn't like to drink." Nangong Ming explained for Mu Qiu. He knew Mu Qiu's character, and it was already very face-saving to be able to take a sip, but Wu Wenxuan was the son of the city lord after all, so it was better not to offend.
"It seems that I misunderstood Mu Qiugongzi." Wu Wenxuan said suddenly, and the haze in his eyes flashed.
"This is Nan Wuyue, Brother Qiu, don't look at him young, he is the number one master in Yongwu City." Nangong Ming pointed to the man who was drinking next to him and said.
"The first master, so powerful?" From the moment he entered the house, Muqiu noticed that this man's strength in the late stage of martial arts qi cultivation was really good.
Nan Wuyue's real age is less than forty, but this person's face is gray, the unadorned stubble on his face looks like a sense of vicissitudes, and a coarse cloth coat is a little out of place on such an occasion, seeing Nangong Ming introduce himself, he turned his gaze away from the wine glass in front of him and turned to Mu Qiu, Nan Wuyue entered the Dao with a sword with a fierce sword aura in his eyes, although he deliberately hid it, how could he escape Mu Qiu, who was a sword immortal.
Seeing Mu Qiu with a calm face, Nan Wuyue nodded slightly and did not speak. Mu Qiu was not annoyed, smiled, raised his wine glass, and drank it all. Nan Wuyue also picked up the wine and returned a glass.
Seeing Mu Qiu doing this, the gloom in Wu Wenxuan's eyes deepened.
Nangong Ming was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Mu Qiu to have a good impression of Nan Wuyue, but when he thought of Mu Qiu's strength, he was relieved, this may be the heart-to-heart sympathy between masters.
At this time, only the woman who played the piano was left, and Nangong Ming continued to introduce: "This is the water twilight smoke of the Jingxin Building, don't look at Sister Dui Yan is a woman, she is the boss in this Jingxin Building." Moreover, Sister Duyan's one-handed piano skills are no match in Yongwu City. ”
"It turned out to be the owner of Jingxin Building." Mu Qiu said suddenly. From the moment I entered the door, I found that this woman was not simple, and under the prompting of the desolate spirit, this woman had a late cultivation of the foundation, and she was only one step away from the Jindan period that every monk yearns for.
It's no wonder that this Mirror Heart Tower can gain a foothold in Yongwu City, and no one dares to mess with it, how can there be a mortal who has immortal cultivators in charge.
