Chapter 126: Thank you for waiting for me for two years

This, this, this......

Is this not pretending at all?

Is it directly humanoid?

While walking, Wu Nuxia kept looking at the little girl next to her.

The bandeau shirt and skirt each have a color, the material looks very good, I think the color used to be very bright, but now it is not so bright, it looks soft, and it is also very delicate and fitted. I don't know where they made it, but it's a good dress in Changjing. The little girl's face was white and tender, as if carved in pink, her hair was braided, there was no expression on her face, she looked like she was thinking about something serious, and she was really cute in this dress.

At home just now, Wu Nuxia didn't ask much, pretending that she already knew, so as not to appear to be fussing and uninformed, but now she couldn't help but look at it twice.

Yes, she slashed the monsters.

Most of the monsters you can meet before just have some Taoism, more powerful than ordinary kinds, high intelligence, great talking, and a little more amazing, occasionally standing up and walking like a human, but it's another thing to turn into a humanoid monster like this.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Sanhua Niangniang is so keen, she can naturally feel the gaze cast by this person, turn her head from time to time, and stare at her strangely.

However, Wu Nuxia is also a keen person, whenever Sanhua Niangniang turns her head, she quickly retracts her gaze, walks forward as if nothing happened, and after a while, the limelight passes, and then peeks at it.

Later, the little girl simply reached out and grabbed the Taoist's robe, and walked forward with him, while she turned her head and stared at the man without blinking.

The road was uneven, and she often stepped on crookedly, causing a stumble, but fortunately she was a cat and did not fall.

"Concentrate on the road."

The Taoist lowered his head and said a word to her, and then followed her gaze and glanced at the woman next to her.

This woman's hair has just dried and has not been taken care of for a long time, it looks a little fried, and the hair is shaking, just at this time the spring is just right, the sun is shining, and every strand of hair seems to be glowing.

The little girl didn't seem to hear him, but still turned her head and stared at the woman without blinking.

The heroine does not squint, but looks at the road and walks.

Three figures walked along the street.

……

Because it was not decided in advance, the three of them sat here for a while, and the dishes on the jade table began to come up.

But it's just a long wait, and it's almost after the food is served.

Yunchunlou is the pioneer of stir-frying, but this table is not mainly stir-frying.

Of the sixteen dishes, only three are cold dishes, and the remaining thirteen dishes include both stir-fried dishes that are popular in Changjing at the moment, as well as palace-style dishes that are meticulous and time-consuming. Although there is no bird's nest shark fin, there are also sea cucumbers and abalones, and it is not in vain to be able to eat seafood in the inland this year.

Song You raised the wine in his glass, already respectfully:

"Thank you for waiting for me for two years!"

"Oh yes!"

Wu Nuxia rarely saw him solemn, and she was a little flustered for a while, she didn't know whether it was better to serve wine or soup, but in short, she grabbed something, raised it to signal, and took a sip to know that it was soup.

"Joke and laugh, I often go out of the city, and I have to pass through the West City Gate, although I have been waiting for you in a hurry, it didn't take much effort." Wu Nuxia said, pausing, "But it doesn't matter, anyway, if you invite me to such a good meal, everything will be canceled out." ”

Song You put down his wine glass and smiled slightly.

One abalone and seafood soup per person, a total of eight for one table, Song You brought half of it to Wu Nuxia, she asked, he only said that those who can work hard, and Wu Nuxia didn't say anything more.

"It's the first time I've eaten sea cucumber and abalone in my life, and I've only heard it from storytellers before." There is only one abalone and one sea cucumber in one lamp, and Wu Nuxia has one in one bite, "Thanks to you, I have long insight." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Song You smiled and shook his head.

This table of dishes, in the future generations, may be eaten for a few thousand yuan at most, and the taste is better than this table, but in this year when most civilians mainly rely on cooking for cooking, it can be regarded as an exquisite method, and it can also be regarded as the best meal Song You has ever eaten in his life. But no matter how good it is, it is impossible to compare it with the friendship that has been waiting for two years.

If it weren't for her, he might not be willing to spend so much money to eat this meal, and it would be more likely to eat the cheap table. If he didn't have her, even if he had to go to the city gate to unveil the list, it would take more energy to get such detailed information, and it would take more energy to deal with the yamen, and it would take energy to do the last thing he wanted.

So it's actually thanks to her.

However, Song You didn't say anything, and only gave Sanhua Niangniang vegetables.

After that, most of the time, there was silence at the dinner table, there was no superfluous polite word, only the sound of eating.

People who practice martial arts have a lot of food, and Wu Nuxia's combat power is really good, this table of meals, she actually ate more than half of it, and she couldn't straighten her waist until she ate, and she was about to get sick, so she stopped.

Although I didn't finish eating, the essence of each dish has basically been eaten clean, and the rest is either side dishes or soup, according to Song You, there is no need to pack it anymore, but Wu Nuxia saved, saying that the taste in these vegetable soups is also not usually eaten, so she insisted on taking a bowl and putting it back, and wanted to soak rice and dip it in cakes to eat.

Song You also pretended with her.

The guy in the restaurant was not snobbish, and he only felt happy when he saw this, and came to help diligently.

Moments later, the trio went out.

"Hiccup......

Wu Nuxia walked so slowly and slowly, and her eyes were a little sloppy, which was completely different from her usual.

"Did the woman eat well?"

"Needless to say? I've never eaten so well in my life! Isn't it? ”

"Yes."

"It's just too expensive." Wu Nuxia shook her head, for some reason she didn't even speak clearly as usual, "It's a pity that Changjing is still under curfew, and I don't know how long it will be banned, if the curfew is lifted, I will take you to the night market, although there is no high-end here, and there is no such sea cucumber, abalone, venison and prawns, but there are also a lot to eat, and it is also very delicious." ”

"I heard that the night market is also a must in Changjing."

"Not really!"

Song You also has some expectations.

However, Wu Nuxia only chatted a few words, and then turned the topic back to business, discussing what list to reveal next time.

……

In March, the temperature is completely warm.

Within the Jingxian Public Mansion.

The magistrate and the governor walked slowly.

It is difficult to do it in Yidu County, and it is even more difficult to do it in Jingxian County, but this is also a good position, and it is difficult to act in the position of Jingxian County, but as long as you do it well, it is easy to move high.

At this time, I only heard the state official laugh and say: "The matter of the ghost building of Peach Blossom Mountain, the matter of the wild goose returning to the mountain and the monster, it has been several years, the officers and soldiers are inexhaustible, and it is useless to recruit civil masters and Jianghu wizards, even the masters of Tianhai Temple have no way, but I didn't expect that in the hands of Brother Gu, for half a month, it was broken again and again." ”

"Oh luck, it's all luck......"

"I heard that it's all a woman's list?"

"It's a woman, she looks like a woman in the rivers and lakes, and I heard others say that there is a young Taoist by her side." Gu Zhixian waved his hand, "Most of them are cultivators from somewhere, but they don't seem to want to show up." ”

"Most of the high-ranking people are like that."

"Yes...... Gu Zhixian paused and smiled, "But there are some more interesting things about the case of the wild goose returning to the mountain monster." ”

"Oh?"

"A few days ago, a father and daughter came to the county government to report the case to the Yanhui Mountain, saying that there is a cave in the mountain behind the Yanhui Mountain, and there is a terrible old ghost living in the cave, and the mountain monsters on the mountain do not eat by themselves, at least not all the people who are arrested eat by themselves, and most of them are taken to the ghosts in the cave to eat." Gu Zhixian said, "I heard the old elders under his command say that the wild goose back to the mountain is very evil, in recent decades, there have always been goblins and ghosts who come out to harm people, some are easy to get rid of, some are difficult to get rid of, but except for one, after a year or two, there is a second one to make trouble, do you say this is a coincidence?" ”

"Is there really an old ghost?"

"The old ghost didn't see it, I sent someone to take a look, there is indeed a cave on the cliff wall, there are stone tables and chairs in it, and there are many sarcophagi with human bones."

"Demons!" The governor was immediately furious, "In the territory of Dayan, you dare to instruct demons and evil spirits to murder my people in Dayan!" ”

"My brother is dedicated to the people."

"Where's the old ghost?"

"I don't know where I am, I'm afraid it's gone. But it's not clear how it is, the county invited the masters of Tianhai Temple to see it, and also invited a few people from Juxian Mansion to go, but they couldn't find any trace of the old ghost. ”

"What's going on?"

"The man who heard the report said that they were captured by the mountain monster and sent to the cave, but the old ghost did not eat them immediately, but only put them in a sarcophagus and cast a spell to make them unable to move. They were also very scared when it was dark in the cave, and they didn't know how long it had been, but they felt a burst of fire in front of them, and the fire filled the cave, but the fire didn't burn people. After the fire was extinguished, they were able to move, but they couldn't stand up because they hadn't moved for so long. Gu Zhixian said in a strange tone to the state official, "After a while, a Taoist man with a torch walked in, and he didn't see what he did, they suddenly fainted again, and when they woke up again, they were already lying on the side of the road." ”

"Which one?"

"I don't know ......"

Gu Zhixian shook his head.

If there is really an old ghost lurking in the mountains outside Changjing City, driving the demons and ghosts in the mountains to harm people, and it has not been discovered for decades, the Tao must not be shallow, and the fear of being able to get rid of him is also a rare master in the world.

However, since the master is reluctant to show his face, even if he is a member of the court, it is not easy to disturb.

"I heard that the big trees under the cliff have been broken countless times, the ground is full of potholes, piles of falling rocks, and there are blood stains on them." Gu Zhixian was speechless, and could imagine the picture of flying sand and rocks and the battle of Dao ghosts at that time, "It's a pity that I don't know where that master is, if I can get acquainted and drink tea and talk about Taoism, it would be a blessing." ”

"In any case, Brother Gu has such a political achievement, I'm afraid it won't be far from being promoted."

The elder brother laughed. Gu Zhixian shook his head helplessly, "Changjing demons and ghosts are in turmoil, and even murder important members of the dynasty, although I have had a curfew to catch thieves and eliminate demons since the dynasty, but now it has been closed for more than a month, and I have not been able to catch all the demons and ghosts who have made trouble, this is the first time, I, the county magistrate, it would be good not to be removed from my post and ask for the crime." ”

"Is it Brother Gu's fault?"

"How can this be said ......?"

"Huh! Brother Gu, you said, the person who repeatedly unveiled the list and cut off the demons and ghosts has this ability, and it is possible to catch this Changjing demon? ”

"I'm afraid ......"

Gu Zhixian shook his head.

The two looked at each other tacitly.

Of course, they know it.

In recent years, the demons in Changjing have become more and more rampant, and it is said that this time, this monster has murdered a squire of the Ministry of Works on the surface, as well as a few important members, but in fact it is more than that. And the curfew of the imperial court, the forbidden army patrols the city every night, the people who are good at driving away demons and catching ghosts in the three divisions of the yamen, and the masters and strangers of Tianhai Temple and Juxian Mansion also patrol every night, and even heard that the priests of the Chenghuang Temple are also rarely attentive, vowing to clean up the demons and ghosts in Changjing, and give Changjing a bright future.

That's why the curfew lasted so long.

It is a good reason for a court official to be killed, if it is changed to the usual, there will be a curfew to catch ghosts for no reason, how can the people of Changjing, civil and military officials, who are accustomed to nightlife, easily agree?

I heard that the harvest is not small, and every night there are demons in the mixed city that are found out.

On the contrary, it was the demon who had murdered the court officials before, and since the priest under the Chenghuang Lord caught the wolf demon, he had not made much progress.

I heard that there are also accomplices.

And so many masters and priests have worked hard for so long, but they have not been able to find out, even if that master is an immortal in the sky who specializes in exorcism and demon subjugation, I am afraid it is not so easy, right?

"That's rightβ€”"

The governor suddenly remembered something, and said, "Do you still remember that Cui Nanxi Gu brother at the beginning?" ”

"The former outsider of the ministry? The one who claims to know astronomy and geography? ”

"Exactly."

"I heard that he met a fairy on Yunding Mountain, only slept one night, and a year passed when he came down the mountain......" Gu Zhixian shook his head again and again, it was really immortal, what a blessing, "At the beginning, I was fortunate to meet with Cui Nanxi a few times, this person is not bad, and his knowledge is also very profound, but his temperament is too straightforward, pretentious, and easy to offend people, with his temperament, he should not make up this kind of story to deceive people." ”

"Where can this kind of story be made?"

"yes......"

"I heard that he was recalled to Beijing."

"Where do you work?"

"It's not decided yet."

"I see......"

Gu Zhixian understood after thinking about it.

It should be a saint in the palace or a national teacher who heard that Cui Nanxi met an immortal on Yunding Mountain, one night and a year, such a story is really magical, and he is curious and wants to call back to ask what happened.

That's not your own business.

"But that's fine, when Cui Nanxi comes back, I can also go and toast a cup of wine and tea with him, and ask him what the gods he met look like, and how he went on the mountain overnight and next year."

"Cui Nanxi's encounter with immortals has spread all over the world, Changjing doesn't know how many storytellers in teahouses are talking about it, and there are not many officials in the court who yearn for immortal immortality, so Cui Nanxi is back this time, and the people who want to invite him to drink and drink tea are afraid that they will break the threshold."

"I'm just waiting to get a drink!"

"Hahaha......"

The two of them looked up to the sky and laughed in the public hall again.
