Xin Linyuan said lightly as he walked forward: "Our sect is at the moment of life and death, and we don't have the leisure to entertain you guests, so we can only grieve Daoyou to live with our disciples. Gu March replied: "It doesn't matter, we don't need any good hospitality, just have a place to live." Xin Linyuan said again: "By the way, now our Xinyu Sect is in short supply of food, and there is nothing to eat, please forgive me." Gu March said: "It's okay, we can prepare the food ourselves." Besides, didn't we see it again in the restaurant that day? I know your difficulties. Wu Susu glanced at Gu Yue again.

Xin Linyuan nodded, so Gu Yue asked again, "May I ask what the two of you are called?" Without waiting for Xin Linyuan to answer, Wu Susu took the lead and said: "My name is Wu Susu, and this is my senior brother, Xin Linyuan." The two of us have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship. Gu Yue greeted them with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Xin and Sister Wu, they were polite." Wu Susu asked her, "What about the two of you?" What should I call it? Gu March replied: "My name is Gu March, and this is my master, Xu Huaigu." My master's temper is a little weird, and he always keeps a straight face all day long, don't be surprised. Wu Susu frowned, and secretly said in her heart, how could an apprentice speak like this in front of his master?

It's a bit quirky indeed. Xu Huaigu hurried

"Ahem" coughed dryly twice, making Gu March a little more restrained. Gu Yue hurriedly asked with concern, "Master, why are you coughing?" Is it old and weak? Do you want the apprentice to give you a few doses of tonic to eat? Xu Huaigu coughed even more seriously, and whispered: "We came to the mountain to do business, be serious." Gu Yueyue nodded seriously and agreed, Wu Susu and Xin Linyuan glanced at the two of them a few more times, and then gave up.

The group of four people stepped on the snow and walked towards the Ming Sword Hall. In the Ming Sword Hall, almost all the disciples of the New Rain Sect gathered here, curious to know what the two people who came from the mountain were doing this morning.

At this time, when I saw Xin Linyuan leading two strangers into the Ming Sword Hall, they all looked at it together. Gu Yue immediately gave a look to the disciples, and said familiarly: "Friends, the two of us are coming up to the mountain to visit relatives, and there is no malice, just a temporary stay for a few days. Please eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink, just when we don't exist. When the disciples saw Gu Yue talking like this, Xin Linyuan and Wu Susu did not refute it, and immediately their doubts disappeared, and they also politely bowed their hands to her, and continued to be busy with their own affairs.

Xin Linyuan led the two of them to sit down by a pot of fire in the corner, glanced at Xu Huaigu, and said in a somewhat threatening tone: "It's best not to let me know that you have a relationship with the Genshan Sect, otherwise, I won't let you go." Xu Huaigu replied lightly: "To be honest, you may not like to listen to it very much." With the current strength of your New Rain Sect, the Genshan Sect doesn't need to spend this extra effort at all. These words were really ugly, so when they fell into Xin Linyuan's ears, a fire suddenly rose in his heart, but fortunately, Wu Susu quickly pulled him away, so that the two sides did not clash.

Xu Huaigu sat down cross-legged, threw a few sticks of firewood into it, and yawned.

Gu March sat opposite him and looked at him. Xu Huaigu lowered his head and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he suddenly asked Gu March: "March, how long is the New Year?" Gu March folded his fingers and calculated, and said, "Speaking of which, the New Year is really fast." Today is the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and there are five days to go before the New Year. Master, why are you asking this? Xu Huaigu said: "It's nothing, just ask casually." By the way, have you had any particularly impressive years? Gu March thought for a while and said, "Impressed? Homeless and hungry with your chest against your back, isn't it impressive? Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "Count, let's talk about it." Gu Yue lowered her head unhappily and said, "I don't want to say it, it's all a long time ago, and I can't remember it anymore." However, the happiest year I have ever said is to spend the New Year at home when I was a child, with my family and parents. At that time, couplets and red lanterns would be hung at home, and my brothers and sisters would buy firecrackers and play with me. Once, a team of dragon lantern dancers came into my house, and everyone was lively and happy. She remembers these happy old things clearly.

Xu Huaigu asked, "I've never heard you talk about your family before. When you ran away from home to find Jiang Yanglin, you were willing to give them up? Gu March was not very interested, and said: "What is there to be reluctant to?" After my family married me off, they never took care of me anymore, as if they didn't have me as a daughter. I was leaving my hometown, and they never asked. Xu Huaigu nodded, did not continue, but changed the topic, and said seriously: "March, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Gu March replied: "Master, you say, what I can do must be done for you." ”

"Help me go down the mountain and buy some New Year's goods and come back." Gu Yueyue was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said, "Master, what are you doing here!" You are now an immortal monk, and you still have a New Year? Xu Huaigu didn't smile, but nodded solemnly and said, "Well, I want to have a good year." When the New Year's goods are complete, I will take you to find that old man, and then have a lively New Year together. He looked into Gu March's eyes and said, "It can make you happily remember a good year for a lifetime." Gu Yueyue couldn't laugh all of a sudden, and she suddenly felt sour in her heart.

Over the years, countless hard days have passed, and only Master is willing to be kind to her. She felt that her eyes were a little moist, so she quickly buried her head, added some wood to the fire, and looked straight at the fire.

Gu Yue lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Then will I go now?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "It's still early now, you can go back in the afternoon." In this case, you can get to the town in the evening, stay overnight, buy everything you need to buy tomorrow, and go up the hill. Gu Yue nodded, and asked again: "What about the people of the Genshan Sect?" What if they stop me and don't let me go up and down the mountain? Xu Huaigu said: "You just said that I asked you to go down the mountain." If I don't give you a down, I'll go and cut them all clean now, and then I'll go down the mountain. They will not dare to stop you. Gu March said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a master, it is domineering." Xu Huaigu looked at her and said, "So you have to work hard to cultivate, only when the realm is high, others will be afraid of you and dare not stop you." Gu March agreed seriously and asked, "Master, what kind of New Year's goods do you want me to buy?" Xu Huaigu thought for a while and said, "That's a problem. There is no need for lanterns and couplets, and there is no place to hang them. Good wine and good food must be bought, and buy more styles, the more the better. You should also buy some melon seeds and peanuts, and if you see someone selling sugar gourds and shortbread, buy some too. Most importantly, you must help me buy black leaf wine. Gu March asked curiously, "Wuye wine?" What kind of wine is that? Is it delicious, Master, do you remember that? Xu Huaigu replied: "I don't know, I haven't drunk it, but my old friend loves to drink it the most." So remember, black leaf wine must not be missing. Gu March took this matter to heart very seriously.

Wuye wine, she wants to be the first to buy it, so as not to forget. Xu Huaigu paused for a moment, and then said, "Also, help me buy some burn-resistant paper money." At this moment, Gu March was even more confused, and asked suspiciously: "Paper money?" Master, what do you want paper money for? Xu Huaigu shook his head and didn't answer her, and Gu Yue didn't ask again.

The master and apprentice didn't sit by the fire for long, Xu Huaigu said that he still had something to do, so he left the Ming Sword Hall first and walked to the mountain outside.

Gu March was idle and bored alone, so he simply went down the mountain. After Xu Huaigu walked out of the Ming Sword Hall, he looked at the mountain, and then walked to the top of the mountain.

The higher the mountains go, the more steep the mountains become. There is a mountain corner, strange cypresses, rocky and rugged, Xu Huaigu saw it from a distance early on, and he was about to go there.

When Xu Huaigu walked into it, he saw that between these strange rocks, there was a deep pool of turquoise, and at this time a thick layer of ice had formed, and another layer of snow had accumulated on the ice surface.

There is a stone tablet next to this frozen deep pool, which is engraved with a lot of dense small block letters, which should be a biography made by someone for this deep pool.

There is a tall cypress tree on the side of the pond, the branches are twisted and intertwined like a dragon, the trunk of the tree can only be hugged by two or three people, and it is an ancient tree of hundreds of years at a glance.

And under the ancient tree, there were two people standing side by side. Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a closer look, these two people turned out to be Xin Linyuan and Wu Susu, who had brought them into the Ming Sword Hall before.

In the ice and snow, there is also a leisurely and elegant outing, and the relationship between these two people is not ordinary. Xu Huaigu saw the two of them, and naturally the two of them also noticed Xu Huaigu.

Wu Susu's face immediately flew with a touch of red, and Xin Linyuan looked a little angry, trying to endure it without having a seizure.

Xu Huaigu ignored it, slowly walked down from between the mountains and rocks, reached the edge of the pool, and then looked around carefully, as if he was looking for something, as if he regarded the two of them as air.

Xin Linyuan was annoyed by his behavior, and said coldly: "What are you doing with me!" Xu Huaigu replied: "Xin Daoyou misunderstood, I didn't follow the two of you. I looked at the mountain and saw that the aura was more vigorous here, so I came here to look for the neighbor Yuan and asked him angrily: "Then you say, what are you looking for?" Xu Huaigu said: "I want to find a good stone." Xin Linyuan's face was cloudy, and he said, "I think you are lying!" What stones, what mountains, what kind of mess. Xu Huaigu looked at him and said, "I didn't lie to you. Xin Linyuan naturally didn't believe it, and asked, "Then you say, what are you looking for stone for?" Xu Huaigu replied lightly: "I have no comment." ”
