Qing Xiang hugged a stove and sat bored in the small blue building of Tanchun Garden.

On the first floor, the wind and snow fall red plums.

The snow at the end of the year in the south of Huai'an is indeed very heavy, and the inside and outside of the building are full of snow.

When Yun Hu didn't know that when he came with wine in the snow, he first shook off the snow on the umbrella and on his body downstairs before going upstairs.

Probably because Qing scolded his mother at the beginning, the wine sold to him in the world returned to the original price, but although this drunkard loves to drink, he often asks Yun Hu to buy it for him.

In Qing Xiang's words, which sound a bit like bluffing, I don't know, although you have started to practice, you can't just focus on cultivation and forget to see how much the price of wine in the world is.

Yun Hu didn't know that he didn't care about these things, he had studied the Great Dao for a long time, and if he didn't cultivate, he wasn't so urgent.

Carrying the wine upstairs, he touched an oiled paper bag from his arms, and breaded some braised pig ears in it, which made Qing Xiang look greedy for a while.

It's just that the greed is greedy, but he frowns again.

"Didn't you say you only buy alcohol? Why did you still buy these? ”

Qing Xiang was probably a little distressed.

Yun Hu didn't know how to smile and said, "I didn't use your wine money, I bought it myself." ”

Yun Hu didn't know that since he was a gentleman in the courtyard, he would naturally receive some money every month.

Although the north family of Nanyi City has run away, the city lord's mansion is naturally still there, but there has been no movement on the Huaidu side, and the position of the city lord has been empty there.

But the money in the hospital is still enough.

"I don't know if I bought it well."

Qing Xiang's face changed instantly, and when Yun Hu didn't know that he was still putting the wine on the stove, he took the oiled paper bag, spread it out on the ground on the side, and ate it with his hand.

Yun Hu didn't know how to look at Qing Xiang like this, he was a little helpless, touched two pairs of chopsticks from his arms and put them aside.

This well-known white-clothed prime minister in the world, except for scolding his mother, looks like a scholar, and when he scolds his mother, he looks like a sloppy middle-aged old man.

Even the white clothes don't look like white clothes anymore, they are bloodstains and footprints.

Qing Xiang looked at the helpless look on Yun Hu's face, so he picked up the chopsticks with a smile and ate them with pig ears.

The wine was hot for a while, and then Yun Hu didn't know how to pick it up from the stove and handed it to Prime Minister Qing.

Qing Xiang ate Yun Hu's unfilial pig ears, drank hot wine, and sighed very comfortably.

"On such a snowy day, it's really comfortable to sit by the fire, drink hot wine and eat!"

Yun Hu didn't know how to look at Qing Xiang from the side and laughed softly, and said, "Haven't Qing Shi always been so comfortable? ”

Qing Xiang quietly looked at the wind and snow outside the building, and then said with a smile: "I'm not comfortable, if I didn't stay in Nanyi City, where would I be so comfortable." ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to look at the blood stains on Qing Xiang's body, but he didn't say anything more.

That's the truth.

As the director of the Hanging Xue Academy, it was rare to go back to Huangliang, and he was almost killed there.

It's always a little embarrassing to talk about.

"What about the south?"

Yun Hu looked at Qing Xiang and asked.

Qing Xiang ate pig ears and said with a smile: "How do I know, I am now a cultivator of a small Dao realm, where can I control them, if they have a conscience, they will run to the pretend capital to kill the mountain ghost and come to see me." ”

“......”

This sentence is probably similar to stopping a pedestrian on the side of the road and telling him that I will give you a mission, and you will go and slaughter Kamigawa.

After all, Yao Ji is a god and ghost in the world, even if she is no longer an ancient Chu god, she is not an existence that the world can help.

"Anyway, how is your practice?"

Qing Xiang looked at Yun Hu and asked.

Yun Hu didn't know how to think about it and said, "I don't plan to go out." ”

Qing Xiang asked strangely: "If you don't go out, how will you become a great road in the future?" ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to laugh softly and said, "The world can't become a great avenue. ”

Whether it's initiation or enlightenment, it's just some names.

"I want to break Daohai and directly accept the Dao."

Yun Hu didn't know that when he said this, his expression was a little solemn.

"But I don't know if that's possible."

Prime Minister Qing didn't care, and said very indifferently: "It's okay, you'll know if you try it." ”

After taking two sips of wine, Qing Xiang thought for a while and continued: "But I want to remind you that although the demon power is an existence that spreads all over the body, it is a different thing from the vitality of heaven and earth. ”

The way of immortality that Yun Hu didn't know came from the matter of turning into a demon.

Yun Hu said in a deep voice: "I know. ”

Qing Xiang chuckled and said, "Of course, you are a scholar, I am a drunkard, you should study this kind of thing more clearly." I won't interfere with you much. ”

Yun Hu nodded innostically.

The two sat in the middle of the building and drank wine.

"The cliff lord should be about to arrive in the autumn water."

Yun Hu didn't know how to say softly.

Qing Xiang was silent for a while, and said: "It should be, the world actually walks around, and there is probably nothing to walk about, and people like her naturally have no old friends." ”

Throughout his life, he will guard the high cliff, and naturally there will not be a few old people.

It's like a young man in a green dress.

Qing Xiang put down his chopsticks, walked to the side of the building with a wine jug, and the wind and snow entered the building, that is, there were some frost and snow in the building.

"After the cliff master leaves, the world may be very chaotic, it depends on what Qiu Xi'er does."

"What will Mr. Qiu do?"

Probably because Qiu Xi'er once served as an honorary Mr. in the Hanging Courtyard, Yun Hu didn't know that he was still used to being called Mr.

Qing Xiang said softly: "Maybe you will show the edge of the sword cliff, and the sword cliff will not ask about the world, but those who have not guarded the turbid sword platform and experienced many stories back then probably will not understand this truth." ”

It can be seen from what happened after the sword wash on All Souls' Day.

"But it doesn't really matter." Qing Xiang took a sip of wine, thinking about the Ming mayfly that was three feet six taller than the spirit witch.

"What is the teacher worried about?"

"The human tide will only subside for a short time, as it is at the end of this year. Maybe forced by the general trend, it has to calm down, but after all, it will still shoot to the shore of the world. Maybe it's going to be even more turbulent. ”

Qing Xiang was not worried about Huangliang's gods and ghosts, but he was very dignified in the face of some undercurrents in Huai'an.

The natural wind and waves in the world are far better than external influences.

Because it means that the world is beginning to be divided.

Behind the wind and waves, there is the choice of the future of the world.

Yun Hu didn't know how to sit by the fireside for a long time, and then said softly: "Is this matter in the Qingshi, or is it in me?" ”

Qing Xiang smiled and said, "Now it's me, and it's yours in the future." ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to sigh and said, "So when will Master Qing return to the Great Dao?" ”

When the prime minister heard this, he thought seriously for a long time, and then said softly: "Next year." ”

After all, no matter how much you don't ask, after all, Huangliang still has a lot of hanging courtyards waiting for the prime minister.

The old drunkard naturally can't stay in Nanyi City all the time, drinking wine and living a comfortable life.

Yun Hu didn't know how to breathe a sigh of relief, after all, if the drunkard had been left alone, he, the eldest gentleman of the Qingniu Academy, would still have some troubles.

"Where has the Sect Master of the Blades gone?"

The biggest reliance in the south is naturally not the prime minister, but the sword cultivator who sleeps at the bridgehead.

It's just that this person hasn't been heard from for a long time.

Qing Xiang snorted coldly and said, "Ghost knows, this old boy likes to go wherever he wants." ”

Cong Blade is not there, Nanyi City always wants to trouble the prime minister, this old drunkard naturally will not have a good attitude.

Yun Hu didn't know what to say, sat by the fireside, quietly looking at the prime minister drinking by the building, and the wind and snow outside the building.

.......

Mr. Xie and Mr. Mei were not in the Hanging Courtyard, but in Mr. Mei's home, a courtyard at the end of a quiet alley.

It is always a quiet alley, which is suitable for setting up a stove and setting up a table under the snow eaves of the yard, drinking quietly and talking about some gossip.

Li Die sat on the steps of the door, holding her cheeks.

No one mentioned Mr. May's wife.

"Are you going to be in the courtyard next year?"

Mr. Xie looked at Mr. Mei, who was holding a wine glass in a daze, and asked.

Mr. Mei came back to his senses, looked at Mr. Xie and said, "Aren't you going?" ”

Mr. Xie said softly: "I do have this kind of thought. ”

"Why?"

Mr. Mei was a little confused.

"I'm probably a little tired and lazy, and I don't really want to teach my children anymore."

Naturally, Mr. Xie has always been a little lazy in teaching.

Mr. Mei didn't say anything, just looked at him and said, "Mr. Bad, where are you going?" ”

Mr. Xie thought for a while and said, "I don't know." ”

Then he laughed again.

"Speaking of which, although I have been lazy all these years, I am still used to staying in the hospital, and I suddenly want to leave, but I don't know what to do."

Mr. Mei said with a sarcastic smile: "Probably the reason why you are too lazy on weekdays, if you sweep the floor diligently like me, you probably won't have so much confusion." ”

Mr. Xie just shook his head, drank the wine in his glass, got up and walked towards the outside of the hospital.

Mr. Mei didn't leave him either, just sat under the eaves, looked at his back and asked.

"Are you still coming to my house for the New Year this year?"

"Here."

Mr. Xie said this very definitely.

Mr. Mei didn't say much, the two of them had actually been drinking for a long time, and Mr. Xie came early in the morning.

Now that it's noon, it's time to leave.

Mr. Xie took an umbrella, walked out of the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and then walked quietly in the alley until he walked out of the alley and walked to the Nanyi River, and then stopped.

Mr. Qingniuyuan, who had been lowered from Mr. Big to Mr. Five because he was lazy, stood quietly by the Nanyi River with an umbrella.

"What is the gentleman thinking?"

A voice came from behind him.

Mr. Xie turned around and realized that it was Jiang Ye of the Human Sword Sect.

This disciple of the Sword Sect, who used to mingle in the vegetable market in the south of the city, returned to the world's vision after experiencing some changes in Nanyi City, carrying a sword on his back, just like Zhang Xiaoyu and Chen Huaifeng in the past.

So he became the appearance of a sword cultivator in the upper realm of the world again.

Mr. Xie smiled softly and said, "I'm thinking about what to do in the future." ”

Jiang Ye stood by the river with his sword on his back, but looked at Mr. Xie with some surprise.

"Sir, are you going to leave the Hanging Courtyard?"

After all, Mr. Xie used to be Mr. Qingniuyuan, and he still has some fame in Nanyi City.

It's just that despite those reputations, it's not so wonderful.

Mr. Big who is messing around - probably this is the evaluation of the world in Nanyi City.

Mr. Xie naturally knew very well, looked at the wind and snow in the river with a smile, and said softly: "After all, it has been mixed for so long, and it is almost the same when it comes to Mr. Wu of Qingniu Courtyard, and further down, it is not good to look at the face of the Hanging Courtyard." ”

Jiang Ye looked at Mr. Xie quietly.

The age difference between the two is about a round, and it is not very long, so this disciple of the Sword Sect has probably heard of Mr. Xie's life trajectory.

Born in the Hanging Courtyard, went to Qingtian Dao, and then returned to the Hanging Courtyard, An An became a gentleman.

"The spring and autumn in the world are over, and the wind and snow are grateful." Jiang Ye said slowly, "A person like Mr., whether he mixes or not, after all, it's just a matter of thinking about it, isn't it?" ”

Mr. Xie turned his head to look at Jiang Ye, this Sword Sect disciple just looked at him quietly.

Mr. Five, who had been repeatedly criticized in Qingniuyuan, turned his head, smiled, and said, "I didn't expect you to remember these things." ”

Jiang Ye also looked at the big river and said softly: "After all, when the younger generation stepped into the cultivation world, Mr. was in the Dao Sect and had a good reputation, so he naturally heard of it. It's just that for some reason, I didn't teach my disciples in Guanli, but I came back to Nanyi City. ”

"There's nothing for no reason." Mr. Xie sighed and said, "I just want to come back." ”

Jiang Ye stood in the snow by the river, covered in wind and snow, but after a long silence, he asked about the wind and rain.

"Will the gentleman be able to hang the curtain in the wind and rain?"

The wind and rain are hanging the curtain, and the former generation of Qingtian Dao is the master of the white wind and rain.

Mr. Xie raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ye and said, "Why do you ask this?" ”

Jiang Ye raised his head and looked at a certain alley in the south of the city.

"I've heard my senior brother talk about it-Bai Fengyu came to Nanyi City twenty years ago."

Jiang Ye didn't say the rest of the words.

But Mr. Xie naturally knows what he means—and so are you, sir.

Mr. Xie chuckled softly: "Yes, this is a coincidence and interesting, they are all people from Qingtian Dao, and they all came to Nanyi City twenty years ago. ”

Jiang Ye didn't smile, just quietly looked at the gentleman beside him who was famous for being lazy to teach students.

"But naturally I won't hang the curtain in the wind and rain, not even the Lord and them, how can I?"

Mr. Xie said very sincerely.

"Are you worried that the wind and rain of a hundred years ago are still continuing in the world, so you are waiting for me here?"

Jiang Ye shook his head and said, "No, it's just that it's too boring to stay in the Sword Sect, and when I came out to walk around for a while, I just happened to meet Mr., and I remembered this matter, so I just came to ask." ”

It's too boring, maybe it's just an excuse, and it's probably true to be idle, but as for being idle, it's natural that the benevolent will see the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.

Mr. Xie held the umbrella and looked at it for a long time before he said: "The idle question at least shows that you have some ideas." ”

Jiang Ye stood in the snow and looked at the big river, and didn't say anything.

After a long time, this Sword Sect disciple who had taken over Chen Huaifeng's matter looked at Mr. Xie.

"If Mr. is no longer teaching in the hospital, what would he most like to do?"

The conversation is back to where it started.

Mr. Xie stood under the umbrella and laughed softly, and said, "It's because I don't know that I'm distressed." ”

Jiang Ye didn't say anything more, turned around, and walked along the snow-covered guardrail by the river.

Mr. Xie quietly looked at the back of this Sword Sect disciple, and then left the river as well.

.......

Yun Hu didn't know that he had been roasting the fire in the small building with Qing Xiang for a long time, so he left there.

When I walked through the front yard of the Hanging Courtyard, I happened to meet Mr. Xie who came back from outside the hospital.

"Sir, just went out for a while?"

Yun Hu didn't know how to look at Mr. Xie who came over, and greeted him very politely.

Mr. Xie shook his head with a soft laugh and said, "No, I went out to find Lao Mei and drank some wine, what about Mr. Yunhu?" ”

"I drank some wine."

Mr. Xie looked up at the small building in Tanchun Garden, and sure enough, he saw the minister who was still drinking upstairs.

Mr. Xie lowered his head, looked at Yun Hu, who was a little helpless, and smiled very clearly, the reputation of the prime minister, not to mention in the world, at least in the courtyard, is not much better than his five gentlemen.

The two of them walked through the bamboo forest path and headed towards the depths of the Hanging Courtyard.

"If Mr. Yunhu is no longer in the courtyard, what will he want to do?"

Mr. Xie suddenly asked such a question.

Yun Hu didn't know how to look at the bamboo snow on both sides, frowned, thought for a long time, and then said seriously: "I don't know." I have been urinated in the Huangliang Hanging Courtyard since I was a child, although I have traveled through the world with the dean later, but I have not seen much of the world, often just looking for some books to read, Mr. suddenly asked such a question, Yunhu really didn't know. ”

Mr. Xie smiled and said, "I see. ”

Yun Hu looked at Mr. Xie curiously and said, "Mr. is planning to leave the Hanging Courtyard?" ”

Asking about such a thing inexplicably will naturally make people think in this direction.

Mr. Xie said softly: "Maybe there are some such thoughts. ”

"So did the gentleman think of it?"

"Nope."

Yun Hu didn't know how to walk for a long time, and then looked at Mr. Xie on the side and said: "Maybe it's just that Mr. is still a person in the courtyard, and he is used to the things in the courtyard, so it is difficult to jump out and seriously think about these things from the perspective of the world." ”

Mr. Xie was silent for a while, and said, "Yes, after all, the Hanging Courtyard is indeed a very good place—if it weren't for a major event in the world, such a place would naturally always be indisputable. Suddenly thinking about leaving the courtyard, I was probably a little at a loss. ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to laugh softly: "Maybe Mr. can go out for a walk, after all, always staying in the courtyard and sitting in the woods will make people see narrow in front of them, and they will inevitably be depressed." ”

Mr. Xie thought for a moment and said, "Go out for a walk and come back again?" ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to say: "Naturally, Mr. should have been in the courtyard for almost twenty years." ”

Mr. Xie said softly, "Yes." ”

And not just twenty years.

After all, when he was young, he practiced in the Qingniu Temple for a few years.

Yun Hu said with a smile: "Then Mr. might as well go out for a few years and see the world, it just so happens that Yun Hu needs to be silent in the courtyard for a few years, and then Mr. will come back and tell me how the world is outside." ”

Mr. Xie looked at the sincere young scholar in front of him, then smiled and said, "Yes." ”
