The sun falls in the distance like the sea, the pear blossoms on the dead branches and leaves are reflected in a piece of pink, as if it has become true, the roof tiles are still covered with a thick snow quilt, but a long line of pitch black has been exposed on the eaves, the water is dripping down along the tile groove, there is no snow and no sound, but a small pit has been smashed, only a few pots of flowers and plants carefully taken care of by Xiao Tianyu are still there, and at a glance, it has become the only real existence in the courtyard.

"What a beautiful yard. ”

Xiao Cong looked into the distance with a smile on his face, and sighed in a low voice from the heart.

The old monster returned to the post station set up by the Xiao family in the holy city just after the dinner, Xiao Tianyu kept it several times, but still couldn't keep it, the old monster said that he always had a faint sense of oppression in this courtyard, and he lived in the post station for so long, but he still felt that it was more comfortable to live in the post station, Xiao Tianyu couldn't keep it, so he had to go with him.

Just after the first hour, when Xiao Cong was meditating in the room in the middle of the outer courtyard, he heard a knock on the door, he got up and got out of bed, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Xiao Tianyu.

"Hey, Dad, why are you here?"

"Why, can't I come?"

"No, come in. ”

Outside the building, the snow is icy and snowy, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the snow that melts during the day has not had time to flow down, it has become an ice cube hanging on the eaves that is arranged regularly but of different lengths, under the ice cube is Xiao Tianyu's warm smiling face, he is wearing a fox fur, but the sleeves that flutter slightly in the cold wind seem empty, through the clothes, it seems that his thin body can be seen.

Xiao Tianyu walked into the room leisurely, Xiao Cong closed the door, Xiao Tianyu sat down on the round stool in front of the round table, Xiao Cong poured the boiling water on the stove into the pot, and poured a cup of hot tea for Xiao Tianyu a little later, the latter held the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile:

"What? didn't disturb your rest. ”

"Dad, what are you talking about? ”

Xiao Cong sat down on another round stool next to the round table, with a smile on his face,

"According to habit, you should have gone to bed at this point, what, is there anything on your mind tonight?"

Xiao Tianyu laughed to himself,

"I don't have anything on my mind, I just suddenly want to talk to someone, I won't dislike the old man, I'll nag it. ”

"Dad, you're laughing again, how can the child dislike you, you say. ”

Xiao Tianyu looked at Xiao Cong's face quietly, and after a while, he smiled again,

"Hey, I wanted to say something just now, but now I've forgotten all about it, I'm getting old, and my brain is getting more and more useless. ”

"Dad, you're not old, you're still young, you must be tired and tired these days, you should find something to relax. ”

"Well, what do you have a good idea?"

Xiao Cong touched his nose and thought about it,

"Otherwise, I'll take you to the Turtle Mansion for a walk, but I have to take Uncle Qin with me for this matter, or I'm afraid we will have to walk for ten days and half a month before we can come back." ”

Xiao Tianyu waved his hand when he heard this, and laughed:

"Wu'er has received it for his father's heart, but it's so late, so don't trouble your Uncle Qin anymore. ”

Xiao Cong laughed a few times, scratched his head and couldn't help asking:

"Dad, you don't really take the old monster seriously

It's your own. ”

"What do you think?" Xiao Tianyu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, as if teasing.

"I don't think the old monster is a trustworthy person, this guy is simple-minded and self-righteous, the key is that people are poor and short-sighted, and they can't be on the stage. ”

Xiao Tianyu's face was slightly serious, and he said thoughtfully:

"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people, if you use suspicious people, there will be doubts, although I don't completely believe in him, there is indeed a way to be completely stable, but in words and deeds, or to treat him as his own person, this human heart, is a very wonderful thing, we all yearn for pure and straight, but in reality it is impossible to find, people, don't live too crooked, can't live too straight, to be crooked and crooked, so that you can live comfortably. ”

"To put it bluntly, it's one set of people before and one set of people after another. ”

"No, no, you don't understand it right, no matter how people come before and after, they have to be twisted and roundabout, what I said about not trusting him, just that he can't feel it, I'm not lying to him. ”

Xiao Cong had a bitter little face, it seemed that he still didn't understand, Xiao Tianyu smiled, and continued:

"For example, I don't trust him, but I still have to entrust him with the matter, but what should I do? I gave him a map of the labyrinth, let him dig according to the map, so that it is completely stable, although I don't trust him, but on the surface I still have to treat him as my own, and in fact he also knows that I don't trust him, we are just for a harmonious atmosphere, and each other tacitly, you know, there is a special sense between people, I say this, do you understand?"

Xiao Cong opened his mouth slightly, nodded as if he understood, touched his nose and said:

"No wonder you're talking about their first attack today, the plan you said to the old monster is another version. ”

Xiao Tianyu smiled noncommittally,

"I told him that there is indeed a secret treasure on the holy mountain, and it is also a treasure related to the life and death of the Xuanzhen monk!"

"Ahh

"Don't be too busy being surprised, listen to what I've to say,"

He paused, then continued:

"There is a treasure in the holy mountain that only Xiao's family can find, if someone investigates it in the future, I will find a formation map and throw it out, they love to believe it or not, my surname Xiao is such a craft, the key is that they will not be able to verify this craft, so the formation map is also impossible to verify, just rely on your miraculous tricks, they will not believe it." “

"Hehe, if you are lucky at that time, maybe the spearhead will turn to the Xiao family's father and son ruthlessly killing the Xuanzhen monks, they will have to find a bigger hat to buckle on the Xiao family's head. Xiao Cong sneered.

"It's better, you're right, even if they don't say it themselves, we can also release words to remind them, the three of them become tigers, and everyone is gold, but this money is dung, and fame is floating clouds, I, Xiao Tianyu, swallowed my anger and let them scold for a while.

Xiao Cong couldn't help laughing,

"Dad, you have a really big heart, and you're not afraid that their spittle stars will drown you. ”

"Boy, don't say it so disgusting, what we are doing is a big thing to slay demons and eliminate demons!"

As he spoke, the father and son looked up and laughed, so unhappy.

"By the way, Dad, I have something to tell you. ”

"What's the matter, you say. ”

"I guess the person who wants the old monster is still in the Holy City, and this person is not simple!"

Xiao Tianyu raised his eyebrows lightly, and suddenly became interested

"Oh, let's hear it, it's not easy. ”

"He can unite the people of the Spirit Slaughter Mansion, the Jade Snake Mansion and the Night Mansion, I don't know about the other attacks, but when they launched the first attack, there was a very strange phenomenon, when a blackbird flew by, all the people below spontaneously combusted, and its flames were so terrible that even their souls were burned to the ground! Mixing it with the blood of an inflammatory beast may be able to achieve such an effect. ”

Xiao Tianyu took a breath of cool air, stroked his mustache and asked:

"Who else knows about this?"

"Uncle Qin, Xingliuyun and the old monster both know, I heard Xingliuyun talk about it later, and everyone else saw it with their own eyes, but why did Uncle Qin say that Ye Fangcheng did it?"

"Your Uncle Qin is a wonderful person, and he wants to use his hatred to pull the old brute onto our boat. Xiao Tianyu replied absentmindedly.

"Such an important thing, you shouldn't be the only one who noticed, and the daily punishment on the old brute, I'm afraid it was prepared for this. ”

His eyes became deeper and deeper, and his tone was firm, even a little cold,

"In this way, this Ye Fangcheng has long been a mortal person, no, he must die at my hands. ”

In the candle flame, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence for a while, time flowed through every corner of the two people's hearts like a river, but it couldn't wash away a grouper on Xiao Tianyu's heart, it was so hard, and it was so deep-rooted, he was a part of Xiao Tianyu's dead flesh and blood on his heart, so whenever his thoughts touched this, he no longer felt pain, nor pain, all he felt was hatred, cold, ruthless and rock-solid hatred!

After a while, Xiao Cong cautiously asked:

"Dad, what do you think about this?"

A layer of ripples rippled in Xiao Tianyu's eyes, and then returned to normal,

"It seems that I have to take a trip to the Holy City Yanshi Mansion to see what Xing Guanghao thinks. ”

"When you go, I'll accompany you. ”

"No, you are busy with your own going, with your Uncle Qin in the Holy City, you can't get any forks. ”

"......"

"It's not early, you should rest early, I should go back too. ”

Saying that, Xiao Tianyu got up, turned around and walked towards the door, Xiao Cong also quickly stood up, walked to the door in two steps in three steps, and opened the door for Xiao Tianyu, Xiao Tianyu went out and he followed, Xiao Tianyu turned his head and asked with a smile:

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll send you back. ”

"My yard, why be careful, hurry back to the house. ”

Xiao Cong stood in front of the door, quietly watching Xiao Tianyu go down the stairs, walking unhurriedly in the courtyard, the full moon hung high, the moonlight spread on the snow, reflecting a beautiful silver-blue light, "rub, wipe ......" Xiao Cong listened to the rhythmic footsteps, watched Xiao Tianyu turn the corner of the bell tower, he returned to the house, opened the window, and watched Xiao Tianyu disappear at the end of the corridor, but he didn't leave, he was waiting for the faint footsteps, waiting for the sound of the door opening symbolizing the final result.

Finally, "Squeak ~ Smack!"

He heard it, and he thought that his father should be lifting the quilt, preparing to sleep in his coat, and putting the fox fur on top of the quilt, so he smiled happily, slowly let out a sigh, closed the window, walked back to the bed, wrapped the quilt, and finally stretched out a hand, and between the middle fingers, the candle flame was extinguished with a "poof".
