Chapter Twenty-Five: There Is Always a Parting
In the Liangdu City, two figures, one white and one black, were shuttling and jumping on the eaves.
At first, there were people looking in amazement, angrily scolding the man for stepping on the roof of his house, but after seeing the face of the man in white, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Jiang Liunian jumped up, flew over the market, landed on the city tower, and looked back at the jar of wine that was thrown to Qin Fan, who was in hot pursuit.
Qin Fan caught the wine jar and landed not far in front of him.
"Good body! Worthy of the brother I recognize! ”
Qin Fan shook the wine jar, it was a good wine.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
"It's fine." Jiang Liunian shook his head and smiled greatly, "It's just to find Brother Qin to drink." ”
A hint of melancholy, a few touches of sadness, sunset and dusk.
Qin Fan broke his mouth: "It's okay, you kicked the sign of the yamen, and the sheep relapsed?" ”
"Hahahaha, I really can't hide it from Brother Qin!"
Jiang Liunian smiled, sat down at the head of the city, lifted the red cover of the wine jar, took a sip, and said:
"In the spring of next year, I will go to the capital, and my brother will not be able to accompany you to drink and visit the flower building in the future."
"Beijing?" Qin Fan sat on the head of the city, lifted the lid of the wine, and raised his head to take a sip, "Is it because of the new emperor?" ”
Jiang Liunian looked at Qin Fan, "Brother Qin knows?" ”
Qin Fan rolled his eyes, "I'm also from the official mansion, although the news is slower than you, the eldest son of the general's mansion, it's not that slow." ”
He squinted at the setting sun on the horizon.
The evening sky was not gloomy, but had a bright blue, and the hazy snow-capped mountains in the distance were tinted with a thin layer of red under the rays of the setting sun.
The sunset slowly fell down the mountain, and the sky was full of red glow, like a goddess scattering a red dress.
Today's winter solstice, the new emperor ascends the throne.
The days are the shortest, and the nights are long.
Qin Fan was curious: "What reason did your father use to send you to Beijing?" ”
Jiang Liunian rolled his eyes, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Saying that I am dissolute by nature, unruly, lacking in education, and no one at home takes care of me, send me to Beijing to enroll in the Guozijian to hone my temperament." ”
"Hahahaha, I think your dad is right!" Qin Fan smiled brightly, and he raised the wine jar and clinked glasses with Jiang Liunian.
"Ha~"
Qin Fan Gao said in a high voice: "Isn't it just to be a proton, what's the big deal."
Think about it in another direction, if you leave Liangdu and go to the capital, who else can care about you? Your father and grandfather are thousands of miles apart, and they can't control you if they want to.
And in the capital, who would dare to target you except the emperor Lao'er?
You can unleash your nature at will, even if you poke a hole in the capital, it will be fine! ”
"Hey~ What Brother Qin said makes sense."
Qin Fan smiled: "Think about what your father said about you?" Unruly and lacking in education, isn't this already giving you a foundation? ”
He continued: "When you go to the capital, you must not be too honest.
Your father says that you are dissolute by nature, then you are dissolute, and your father says that you are unruly, then you have to behave unruly.
Isn't it to be indoctrinated?
Honestly like being indoctrinated?
The less you behave like a gentleman, the less you look like the descendants of the Jiang family who can accept the border pass, the more the emperor will be at ease with you! ”
Jiang Liunian's eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully: "Brother Qin, listening to your words today, I suddenly realized!" ”
He wiped the wine off his chin and muttered, "No wonder grandpa told me not to be nervous, just treat the capital as a cool capital." ”
Qin Fan sneered and said, "You can use it as a bed!" ”
Jiang Liunian had a clear thought, "Hahahaha, Brother Qin will go one!" ”
Wine jars collide together.
Drinks drip onto clothes.
Qin Fan was a little upset, and his face was slightly drunk.
"Now that even you're leaving, there's nothing worth remembering about this cold."
"Brother Qin?"
"The capital, the capital is a good place," Qin Fan sighed: "Everyone is going to go, Mo Gongzi is going, you are going too, I really want to go!" ”
"Liangdu is too small, and he can't keep Brother Qin in the end." Jiang Liunian said jokingly: "It's better for Brother Qin to go to the capital with me, with you by my side, at least I won't feel lonely." ”
"Hehe, no, after you leave, I'm going to go out for a walk," Qin Fan pointed to the vast land under the city tower, "The world is so big, there are no surprises, if you don't go out to see, come to this world for a visit!" ”
Jiang Liunian was envious in his heart, and his dream was to one day be able to wander the world in all directions.
A horse, a jug of wine.
A good song, a sword at the end of the world.
It's just that he was born into a family of generals, and as the eldest son, he is destined to be unable to leave everything behind.
Jiang Liunian looked at the dazzling Qin Fan in front of him, silently entrusted his dream to him, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Then I will wait for Brother Qin in the capital, and when you travel to the capital, I will invite you to drink!" ”
◇——◇
The moon stars are scarce.
After night fell, the lights in the capital gradually dimmed with the passage of time.
Knowing that Li Yu gave all the Daoguan to him in one go, Mo Ying couldn't sleep with excitement.
"Xiaobai, am I dreaming, or am I just a dream when I meet you?"
Mo Ying's eyebrows had a soft breath, squinting, her expression was in a trance, and her slightly drunk face looked a little enchanting in the candlelight.
Recently, the food has been good, the nutrition has kept up, and Mo Bai has given her a lot of tonic pastries every day, at this moment, Mo Ying is no longer as skinny as before, her cheeks are fleshy, the corners of her mouth are round, and her barren breastplate has gradually grown in arc.
She rested her hands on her cheeks, propped her elbows on the table, and looked at the blue waves in her inky eyes.
Mo Bai sat quietly beside her, looking down at the rice paper on the table.
Today, his violent mobilization of the power of the leylines was interrupted by Mo Ying, and Luo Qingyao told him that his actions were likely to cause serious consequences.
It's not that the power of the leylines can't be mobilized, it's just that it can't be mobilized by brute force alone.
If he can't rely on the brute force of the puppet dragonman, then all he can use now is the formation.
Since returning from the afternoon, Mo Bai has been thinking about whether there is a formation that can pull the earth veins at the same time, gather spiritual energy, and condense the power of the stars.
It's a pity that he hasn't made much progress until now.
Mo Bai has feelings, he knows it, that kind of formation is stored in his mind, but he just can't remember it.
He has an omniscient library in his head, where he can find answers to anything, but as an administrator, he loses the key to get in.
"Xiaobai?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"You've been staring at the blank paper all afternoon, what's there to see?"
Mo Ying pouted, her face was dissatisfied, and she moved closer to Mo Bai, her voice was weak with a hint of sadness, and said, "You can't ...... Can't you look at me? ”
Mo Bai's eyes were clear, and he looked at Mo Ying meticulously.
Mo Ying suddenly became shy, lowered her eyebrows sideways, rolled up a wisp of green silk, and her cheeks were red.
Peeking out of the corner of her eye, Mo Ying found that Mo Bai's eyes were clear, not mixed with any distractions, and she looked at her so simply and seriously.
Inexplicably discouraged in her heart, she stood up and turned her back to Mo Bai, stomped her feet in annoyance, and said sullenly: "I'm going to sleep, Xiaobai, go out!" ”
Mo Bai tilted his head, with a big question mark next to his head, got up with rice paper and left Mo Ying's room.
In the house, Mo Ying was lying on the bed, hammering the bed board angrily, sleeping on the inside of the bed, she looked sideways at the empty half of the bed, looking lonely.
……
Mo Ying and Mo Bai quickly moved into the hall and stayed in the center of the largest room.
Before the two moved in, Li Yu also sent someone to clean up, and sent Zhao Qingsong to ask if he needed to arrange some servants.
Mo Ying refused, Mo Bai seemed to have something big to do, and there was no need for outsiders to be there until it was completed.
Mo Bai thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have any ideas about the formation, until Luo Qingyao arrived again.
To tell the truth, although Luo Qingyao's cultivation is not high, he really understands a lot, and he only understands what kind of formation he wants after listening to Mo Bai's words, and immediately drew it for Mo Bai diligently.
"This array needs three auxiliary primers, which need to contain the power of the leylines, the qi of the immortals, and the power of the stars, and the primers don't need to be very strong, as long as they can withstand the shock when the formation is activated."
Something that contains the power of the leylines, the first thing that Mo Bai thinks of is the Imperial Palace, which is the first major intersection of the leylines in the capital, and over time, there must be items contaminated with the power of the leylines.
An item containing the aura of immortals, Luo Qingyao gave him a small cyan sword, which can be regarded as a thank you gift after solving the demon path.
As for items that have the power of the stars......
It's a bit hard to find.
"Senior, I'm going back to Kunlun Ruins." After sending out the cyan sword, Luo Qingyao's expression was gloomy, "I don't know what the next time we meet, we will be in the world." ”
"Leaving?" Mo Bai tilted his head, he had just realized what kind of happiness it was to have an encyclopedia next to him, and he didn't expect the happiness to end so suddenly.
"Master is here."
Luo Qingyao's face hesitated, and she stopped talking.
"Oh."
"Senior, do you know anything about the Far North?"
"Far North?" Mo Bai shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"That's right."
The last meeting ended in such a hurry, and neither side could be honest.
Time comes back to the present.
Mo Ying was amazed by the scale of the gym, if only one word was chosen to describe the gym among thousands of words, it could only be said that it was "inhumane in the trench".
The things in the hall have basically not been touched, rockeries and living water, flower beds and bonsai, porcelain and jade incense burners, utensils and screens, and there is one word inside and outside - expensive.
Mo Ying found a large copper-colored furnace in the quiet room with the sign of the alchemy room, and there was a silver bead on the top of the stove, which was reminiscent of the sign hanging outside the house, which should be an alchemy furnace.
She hadn't seen much of it, and she didn't know what it was for, so she called Mo Bai.
"Xiaobai, do you need this? If you don't use it, throw it away, it takes up space. ”
Mo Bai glanced at the silver beads on the top of the Dan furnace, a moment of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he pointed to the top of the Dan furnace and said, "That, stay, furnace, don't." ”
Mo Ying looked at Mo Bai's fingers, scratched her head, and asked curiously, "Is there anything special about that bead?" ”
"With the power of the stars." It's also quite troublesome to explain, so Mo Bai didn't explain much.
Originally, he was still thinking about where to find something that contained the power of the stars, but he didn't think that there was one in the dojo.
The silver beads on the top of the Dan furnace were used by the former owners of the place to store the power of the stars.
Look at the location where it is probably placed for alchemy, merging the power of the stars into the Dan furnace for alchemy?
Probably yes.
The crooked and evil ways in Luo Qingyao's mouth seem to have some real skills.
Now it's just the items that contain the power of the leylines.
Mo Bai raised his head, his eyes passed through the layers of walls, and fell on the gorgeous palace with high eaves, and in the shimmer of winter, the golden and brilliant palace revealed the ancient meaning of the forest.
He took off the silver bead, and Mo Bai took it in his hand and looked left and right, since it could store the power of the stars, the quality must be guaranteed.
The swaying Mo Ying stopped in front of a locked door, she turned back to Mo Bai and shouted, "Xiaobai, there is a locked door here!" ”
Mo Bai rushed to hear the sound.
"This lock," Mo Ying leaned forward to stare at the huge iron lock, "there is no key." ”
Mo Bai looked up at the two-zhang tall wooden iron, waved his hand to beckon the puppet dragon man, and the puppet dragon man stepped forward, holding the iron lock and pinching it gently.
"Bang click~" The lock is broken.
Mo Ying looked at the iron lock that fell to the ground, and silently picked it up, although it was scrapped, it could still be sold for some money.
With a heavy creak, the puppet dragon man pushed open the iron door, and the back of the door was so dark that he couldn't see clearly.
Mo Ying took out the fire fold and blew it a few times, and the fire fold gradually lit up with some fire.
"This is ......" Mo Ying stood in place, looking at the rows of bookshelves in the room with a dull face, the bookshelves were full of bamboo slips and paper books, "The library room? ”
She walked lightly, walking between the bookshelves with a fire fold in her hand, this situation and this scene are very similar to the martial arts masters who sneaked into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to steal the secret notes in martial arts novels.
The puppet dragon man spit out a small sun, and the small sun flew into the air, and the room suddenly brightened.
Mo Bai stared at the fire fold in Mo Ying's hand.
"......" Mo Ying was a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”
Mo Bai pursed his lips and did not speak, he stood in the room, looking around, the size of the library was average, and many books were stained with dust.
casually took out a yellowed book with pages, and looked at the book cover - "Yin and Yang Jiaotai Dafa".
“……”
Peeking at the ink warbler who was walking towards the inside of the library, Mo Bai opened the book and flipped through it quickly.
The text narration is boring, and the illustrations are a little bit interesting.
Mo Bai felt a little bored, put down the book and touched a copy casually - "The Cultivation Manual of the Furnace Ding".
“……”
It's confirmed, it's all evil books.
While Mo Bai flipped through it, Mo Ying paused in front of a bookshelf.
"The domineering fairy is in love with me...... Alchemy, picked up the women's sword immortal...... Fairy please automatically ......"
What is this, what is this?
Mo Ying looked awkward.
These books don't look serious, do they?
"Huh?" With a sudden pause in her gaze, she stared at a book at the top of the shelf, "Fairy Raiders Manual......
……
White clouds streaked across the sky, followed by cranes.
Luo Qingyao sat on the back of the crane and turned his head sideways to look north.
At a certain moment, the white clouds slowly stopped.
Luo Qingyao turned her head and looked at Luo Yunxi who was floating in front of her, and was in a trance for a while.
'When will I be like the Master, beautiful and powerful?' ’
"Why keep looking backwards?" Luo Yunxi asked softly, her expression was gentle, and there was warmth between her eyebrows.
The cold and affectionate Iron Orchid has such a kind side, if it is looked at by Mo Beitian and his party, they will definitely think that Luo Yunxi has been taken away!
"No, nothing." Luo Qingyao's cheeks were slightly red, and her dodging eyes looked like a girl with a young spring.
Luo Yunxi's beautiful eyes flowed with a hint of enlightenment, and he asked curiously: "The first time you went down the mountain, you met someone you liked?" ”
"No," Luo Qingyao flatly denied.
"Hehe," Luo Yunxi smiled warmly and asked, "What does it look like?" Male or female? ”
Luo Qingyao's ears were red, and she said angrily: "Master, you are so annoying!" It's all said and gone! ”
The white crane spreads its wings and flies forward.
The white clouds that stayed in place were slightly embarrassed.
Luo Yunxi looked back at the north, her expression returned to indifference, and she didn't know what to think again.
