It was getting late, Zhang Yuelu didn't mean to take advantage of the night, but fortunately, there was also an inn in the mountain market, and the two came to the inn here together.

The inn is really not big, there are not so many single-family courtyards, only a two-story main building, the lobby on the first floor is used as a restaurant, and the second floor is a guest room.

As soon as the two of them entered the restaurant, no, the two of them had just entered the lobby on the first floor of the inn, and Zhang Yuelu's eyes fell on the wine jar behind the counter, and he naturally proposed: "For the sake of the love I gave you a flying knife, let's have a drink." ”

Qi Xuansu said in the tone of a storyteller: "After seeing the legendary black market, Zhang Qingxiao felt that his experience in the rivers and lakes had been improved and he had gained a lot, so he decided to treat himself." ”

Zhang Yuelu chuckled and said: "Let's put it another way, let's go to the mountain market together, Qi Tianyuan became a deserter halfway, let Zhang Yuelu fight alone, it is reasonable, and he should be fined three glasses of wine." ”

While talking, the two came to the counter, and Zhang Yuelu said directly: "Shochu, two jars, need half a catty." ”

"Two peace money." The shopkeeper didn't give Qi Xuansu a chance to refuse, and directly took out two wine jars from behind the counter and placed them in front of the two.

Zhang Yuelu dropped two Taiping coins, and then walked to the empty table not far away with a wine jar in one hand.

Qi Xuansu could only follow behind Zhang Yuelu.

The two sat down face to face, Zhang Yuelu slapped open the mud seal with one hand, and because the wine jar was not big, he drank directly with the wine jar.

Qi Xuansu also followed Zhang Yuelu's example, patted open the mud seal of his jar, and drank wine with the wine jar.

Since Qi Xuansu met Zhang Yuelu, the biggest change is that he has grown in the amount of alcohol, plus Qi Xuansu has some martial arts miracles, and he is not very drunk after drinking most of the altar.

Zhang Yuelu had already finished drinking his jar, got up and came to the counter, and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there still a guest room?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes turned around the two of them and said, "Yes, but there is only one room left." ”

Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Then open a room, just save money." ”

"One upper room, one peaceful money." Shopkeeper said.

Zhang Yuelu took out a Taiping coin and put it on the counter.

The shopkeeper put away the Taiping money and handed Zhang Yuelu a key: "Go up to the second floor, and the innermost one to the east is." ”

Zhang Yuelu took the key and walked directly to the second floor.

Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhang Yuelu's back as he went upstairs, and then at the small half jar of wine in front of him, and suddenly fell into the battle between heaven and man.

Then in the playful eyes of the shopkeeper, Qi Xuansu decided to finish his wine first, and he didn't know whether he didn't want to waste Taiping money, or planned to use wine to strengthen his courage.

After drinking a jar of wine, Qi Xuansu slowly got up, and under the meaningful gaze of the shopkeeper, he also walked to the second floor.

Outside the room, Qi Xuansu started to fight between heaven and man again, did he knock on the door, or go outside for a stroll? Anyway, it's nothing if you don't sleep all night.

In the end, that jar of wine was not drunk for nothing, Qi Xuansu still mustered up the courage and planned to knock on the door.

Then Qi Xuansu found that the door was not latched from the inside, he just touched it lightly, and the door opened.

Qi Xuansu walked into the room, there was only one bed inside, Zhang Yuelu and Yi were lying on the bed, just took off her shoes and covered her own cloak.

That's it, the key is that Zhang Yuelu is still with his eyes open, and there is a faint light flashing in his eyes, even if he doesn't have a palm lamp, Qi Xuansu can feel that Zhang Yuelu is staring at him.

Qi Xuansu only felt that his body was stiff, neither did he advance nor retreat.

After such a stalemate for a moment, Zhang Yuelu broke the silence: "Are you going to stand for a night?" ”

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "It's really ...... to be alone and widowed in the same room."

Zhang Yuelu interrupted softly: "When I went to the Western Regions and spent the night together in the snow nest, I didn't pay attention to these things, I think it was your evil mind." ”

Qi Xuansu was speechless, so he could only close the door and sit on the chair next to the bed, planning to spend the night.

Zhang Yuelu closed her eyes, and after a while, a faint breathing sounded.

Qi Xuansu was slightly stunned.

She slept so peacefully, did she trust herself so much?

So are you worthy of this trust?

Qi Xuansu looked at the bright moon looking out the window, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

In the midst of all kinds of thoughts one after another, Qi Xuansu actually fell asleep.

He had a dream.

This time it is not a spiritual mountain, but a place with green mountains and beautiful waters.

Quiet late at night, the moon swells in the river.

He rode a flat boat down the river.

A little haoran, a thousand miles of fast wind.

He sat in the center of the boat, with a man in the bow and a man in the stern, so that the boat was just balanced.

Although he couldn't see the appearance of these two people clearly, there was closeness in his heart, and his heart was peaceful and peaceful.

By the time Qi Xuansu woke up, it was already dawn. Then he found that he was covered with Zhang Yuelu's cloak, and he could even smell a faint fragrance.

The bed was clean, and Zhang Yuelu was gone.

Qi Xuansu remembered last night's dream again, this was a rare good dream since he joined the Qingping Society, that feeling of peace and tranquility made him remember it deeply, and even a little afterglow lingered in his heart, so that he couldn't bear to forget.

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu pushed the door in, and he was holding a basket of buns in his hand.

"You're awake." Zhang Yuelu put the bun on the table, "I bought it for you." ”

Qi Xuansu got up and put Zhang Yuelu's cloak on the bed, cleaned his hands, sat down at the table, and then asked, "What about you?" ”

"I have the 'Grain Splitting Technique'." Zhang Yuelu patted his lower abdomen.

Qi Xuansu asked in a joking tone, "Why are you so good to me?" ”

In fact, Qi Xuansu faintly had a hope in his heart that Zhang Yuelu would treat him so special not because he asked for him, but because of him.

Zhang Yuelu didn't answer directly, but said, "Eat yours." ”

Qi Xuansu was not polite and began to enjoy his breakfast.

Zhang Yuelu sat opposite Qi Xuansu, watching Qi Xuansu eat steamed buns with both hands on her cheeks, and asked, "How does it taste?" ”

"Not bad." Qi Xuansu was a little uncomfortable by Zhang Yuelu, and his eating appearance became gentle.

Zhang Yuelu said: "I remember when I went to the Western Regions, you could eat cold dry food with cold water, so it can be seen that the 'good' in your mouth should not be very delicious." ”

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm not too particular about what I eat, it doesn't mean that I can't tell the good from the bad, my taste is still very normal." Why don't you try one too? ”

"Nope." Zhang Yuelu refused, "If you want to have the art to stay beautiful, Bigu is the basic condition." ”

"I thought you didn't care about that." Qi Xuansu continued to eat steamed buns.

Zhang Yuelu said: "Why don't I care, after a few decades, when someone else is a, I have to become a white-haired old woman?" I think you are worthy of his heart. ”

Neither of them came from a family of Zhong Ming Dingshi, so naturally there was no rule of eating and not sleeping, so they just talked and laughed after breakfast, left the inn, went out of the mountain market, and continued on the road.

For the next part of the journey, the two walked unremarkably, and there were few pedestrians except for the caravans.

Qi Xuansu has not yet reached the realm where he can practice walking, sitting and lying down, and when he is in a hurry, he is just talking to Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu is a genius, but he is not a peerless genius like Xuansheng and Donghuang. People's energy is limited, when Zhang Yuelu puts most of her energy on her own cultivation and various errands of the Daomen, it is difficult for her to take care of other aspects, so Zhang Yuelu is not very proficient in various classics of the three religions, can not casually quote scriptures, is not talented, and does not understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It just so happens that Qi Xuansu is the same, Qi Xuansu has spent most of his time in the rivers and lakes since he left the Vientiane Dao Palace, and he has nothing to do with the wind and snow, and in the eyes of many people, he is a pure rough person, even if he doesn't look like a rough person.

So when the two are together, they still have many common topics.

For example, neither of them can play Go, and can only play the relatively simple Xuansheng cards; A dish and a pot of wine can't pull out any anecdotal allusions, and can only roughly evaluate whether it is delicious or unpalatable; I don't like profound classics, but I like to read some plain scripts.

For example, both of them like firearms, but they don't know anything about musical instruments; Both of them are shy in their pockets, they don't have much spare money, they are a little poor, and naturally they can't learn anything big.

Talented and beautiful people tune the piano, read the Golden Sutra, listen to Kunqu Opera, play chess and drink tea, and chant poems against each other, which can be described as spring and snow, which is for the upper class.

They play swords, read scripts, listen to new plays, play cards and drink, joke and joke, another way of living, and it is not indecent.

Qi Xuansu originally regretted agreeing to allow Zhang Yuelu to accompany her home, but now she has no regrets, only enjoying it.

On this day, the two of them walked until dark, and they did not see half of the village. I saw that the dark clouds on the eastern horizon were about to come up, and the sky was already dark in an instant. The climate of Shuzhou is warm, even if it is winter, there is no ice and snow, just like the deep autumn season in Jiangbei. Looking at this posture, it is about to rain coldly.

Qi Xuansu pointed to a high ground not far from the ancient road: "Qingxiao, there is a temple in the woods over there, let's spend the night there." ”

Zhang Yuelu's eyesight was better than Qi Xuansu's, and she had already seen that it was a ruined temple that had been abandoned for a long time, and said: "You said that you would rather sleep in the cemetery than live in the broken temple, how did it change this time?" ”

Qi Xuansu said with a smile: "The reason why I say this is because the ancient temple has been abandoned for a long time, and it is extremely easy to hide dirt and dirt, and it is occupied by the demon dove. The second is because the robbers who block the road and rob will often be stationed in the ruined temple, and if they break into it rashly, they will be killed by the robbers. But with you, a master at the stage of reversion, what ghosts and robbers are you afraid of? ”

"Then go to the ancient temple for the night." Zhang Yuelu should go first.

The two came to the ancient temple and walked into the main hall, only to see that the hall was dedicated to a statue of the god of the great day, but the golden body was dilapidated, the incense case was dumped, and the beams and pillars were full of dust and cobwebs.

At this moment, the icy night rain will fall, the sound is not loud, some similar to the spring rain, rustling, as if eating mulberry leaves.

The ruined temple was leaking everywhere, Zhang Yuelu found a dry place, swept the dust and cobwebs with his true qi, and took out a piece of furoshiki from Sumeru and put it on the ground, beckoning Qi Xuansu to sit down.

The two sat back to back, listening to the sound of the night rain outside the temple, and for a while no one spoke.

Zhang Yuelu clasped her knees with her hands, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qi Xuansu was strange in his heart, and even his breathing was a little lighter.
