Chapter 45: Ink Hill and Ink Maker
The moon hung like a silver plate in the sky, not a single star was visible, and even the shadows of the people on the ground seemed thin and transparent, which was a small figure intertwined by the afterglow of the cold moonlight.
It's silent.
Occasionally, the cold winter wind blows from a distant place, spreads over the lights of thousands of homes, and is accompanied by the cold moonlight bringing a little whimpering wind, like the sound of wind chimes at night. In the silence, there was only one house with a closed wooden door, and the courtyard was lit with a dim light, and through the thin barrier of the lantern, he stubbornly poked his head out, refusing to be inferior to the bright moon.
The thin figure stood in the courtyard, exercising his body one by one, each movement was concise and elegant, and there was no inconsistency in it.
His face is elegant and handsome, his eyes reflect the light of the bright moon at night, and he has a calm and unhurried attitude when he gestures, and suddenly he seems to be standing in the world, and the fireworks are very light on his body, as if he is going to ride the wind in the next moment.
Winter nights are always cold, and the moon is holy, but there is no temperature.
Fortunately, on the stone table not far from the man, a pot of wine was being warmed, and the flames of the small stove were licking the coil wantonly, occasionally making a slight hissing and popping sound, adding a little smoke to him.
After a long time, the people in the courtyard stopped, turned around and sat down at the stone table, picked up the wine jug that had been warmed, and poured themselves a glass of warm wine.
The fair-skinned slender and powerful palm picked up the wine cup, aimed at the bright moon in the sky, and Gu Dan chanted: "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow will become a trio." ”
The moonlight, the lights, and him, aren't they just three people?
"Smack!"
Who would have thought that there was a crisp popping sound from the small stove that had been warming the wine, and a reluctant little tongue of fire poked its head out, but the winter night was too cold after all, and he had to hurry back after a breath.
"Ha ......"
Gu Dan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, count you, count you!" That's four people. Well, raise a glass to four! ”
He picked up the cup and drank it all.
The warm liquor slid down his throat and into his belly, suddenly rising with boundless warmth, pushing away the cold of the outside world.
"How can the four? It's better to have more! ”
Suddenly there was a sound at the gate of the courtyard, accompanied by a creaking sound, the wooden door was pushed open, and the tall and burly man who looked like a giant stood there with a black package.
The bright moon hanging high in the sky was left behind him, and the moon was added, but it couldn't let him retreat half a point.
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Dan stood up suddenly, a little surprised, but more surprised and called: "Brother Mo?!" ”
The burly and tall man strode up, sat down at the stone table unceremoniously, threw the package on the ground, picked up the flask and poured it into his mouth.
After a few big sips of strong wine, Mo Qiu reluctantly put down the wine jug, looked at Gu Dan, and said with a smile: "I have nowhere to go at night, so I want to come to you to ask for a glass of wine." ”
Gu Dan smelled a strong smell of medicine, which he was all too familiar with, it was the medicine he had personally concocted.
"You're hurt?"
Gu Dan's brows furrowed, Moqiu's martial arts were already first-class in the world more than ten years ago, and today they are far beyond the past, and they can make him injured, you can imagine how terrifying the flesh and blood battlefield in Yuzhou is.
"A little injury, why bother?"
Moqiu smiled indifferently, not impressed, but instead picked up the package that was still on the ground and placed it on the stone table.
There was no sale, and the package was opened, revealing the contents hidden inside.
The first thing to do is a large piece about the size of a human head...... Jade? It looks like jade not jade, like stone not stone, some in between, not transparent and flawless, there are many white lines inside like a spider web spreading, the strange thing is that in the naked eye gaze, those white like fog spider webs are slowly moving.
At this moment, Gu Dan was aware that wisps of extremely warm power seemed to be soaking into his body, warming his body at an extremely slow but unwavering speed.
If it weren't for the fact that he was going to practice dirty, it would really not be easy to notice this subtle change.
Gu Dan's eyes widened unconsciously, and he felt a little dry in his throat inexplicably, "This is ......"
"The stone that fell in Yuzhou." Merciu said crisply.
"Immortal Stone?!"
Gu Dan really didn't expect that he would be able to see the fairy stone with his own eyes.
"It's really different, there is a special power, probably the aura driven by the immortals in the storyteller's mouth." Moqiu did not refute, and said bluntly: "Even if you don't do anything, just carrying it with you is enough to make people healthy and healthy, and it should be okay to prolong life." ”
Gu was worried about the stormy waves, and the meteorite that fell in Yuzhou was really a spirit stone!
Moreover, Moqiu really succeeded in getting it, in addition to a spirit stone the size of a human head, there were several spirit stones about the size of a fist, or even more fine, lying there quietly.
The spirit stone did not shine, but in Gu Dan's eyes, it was far brighter and brighter than the bright moon, illuminating his heart that seemed to be silent.
Cultivating immortals, for the truth!
For Gu Dan, what is really precious is not the spirit stone in front of him, but the real existence of the spirit stone, which is enough.
Immortality is not false to him, but people who live in the world without a goal are like duckweed in the wind.
Even if it is unswerving, what does it mean to not have the slightest pursuit?
Living is not everything, living a meaningful life is meaningful, and it is interesting.
Ordinary people ask for immortals in order to seek immortality, he doesn't need to worry about immortality, he just wants to see the scenery from a higher place.
The moment he saw the spirit stone, the moment he felt the difference, Gu Dan was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Joy didn't overwhelm Gu Dan's mind, and soon he reacted, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Mo, since you got the spirit stone, why do you want to go back to the imperial capital?!" The Grandmaster of the Ten Thousand Armies can still wait for an opportunity to escape, and it will be really dangerous in the imperial capital! ”
Why is he willing to stay in the imperial capital?
Because without causing trouble, the imperial capital is theoretically one of the safest places.
Like some kind of banditry, no matter how bad the trouble is outside, unless the country is about to die, the security of the imperial capital should be the best, and the precautions should be the most thorough.
No matter how rare a grandmaster-level master is, there must be one in the imperial capital.
On the other hand, if you want to make trouble, it's best not to die in the imperial capital, here is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, where a country's heritage is supplied, and if you can't keep it, there will be some old demons.
Robbing the immortal stone and hiding in the imperial capital is definitely not dark under the lights, it just can't be opened, and there is nothing to look for.
Darkness under the light has never been a forced choice!
The world is big, far away from the imperial capital, where is not the place to hide? Gu Dan didn't believe that Mo Qiu couldn't even figure out such a truth.
"Why don't you come back?"
Mo Qiu shook his head slightly, "Emperor Zongming is eager to ask for immortals, it has been more than twenty years. Now that this so-called immortal fate has come to the world, he will definitely not give up if he can't get it, and I don't know how much bloody rain will be set off at that time, and the country will be restless. The fairy fate was sent to him, and it was worth it to be able to settle the matter. ”
Gu Dan's eyes widened, he understood what Moqiu meant, and asked in disbelief, "You...... You want to give this immortal stone to Emperor Zongming?! ”
