Chapter 271: Silent Night
Halfway through the night, at the foot of Shouyun Mountain in the southwest of Chu State, fell into a deathly silence.
But in this strange dead silence, there are turbulent and turbulent undercurrents.
The stove workshop, which originally belonged to the Danxia Sect, became a gathering place for the disciples of the Siyou Sect.
Outside the courtyard of the first row, the long-vacant kitchen and kitchen are full of dust, and the huge pot rack on the stove is already rusty.
The moonlight flowed quietly through the broken windows, and the bones of the white beasts piled up in the corners of the walls were trampled by insects and rats from time to time, and there was a strange creaking sound, which was extremely clear in the quiet of the night.
Rotten wood, sunken vegetable oil...... Mixed with the fishy sweetness of rust, it makes you want to gag.
The night breeze blew through the hall and whipped the boning knife hanging from the beam.
It trembled and rippled, its sharp blade slicing through the night wind and whimpering.
Between the flipping of the mirror-like blades, half of a woman's face is reflected.
โฆโฆ
โฆโฆ
Xie Yihanqiong's nose wrinkled slightly, and she withdrew her gaze.
She whispered, "We have to arrange for people to renovate this place, and the disciples can't eat Bigu Dan for every meal." โ
The man who had disappeared in the shadows walked slowly to the front.
"The dishes in the city are very good, and you can directly hire the entire restaurant to Si Youzong." Wang Teng thought about replying.
The woman looked back in surprise and laughed, "You want to eat it yourself, right?" โ
Wang Teng grinned, hugged the warm and delicate body in front of him, and bit the blood marks on his delicate and white little ear: "Tomorrow I will go to discuss this matter with Liu Pan." โ
Xie Yihan smiled helplessly, and immediately broke free from her husband's arms and returned to Jiazi No. 1 Courtyard with him.
The old courtyard gate behind him closed, and the dust sealing array that obscured the divine sense opened......
The expressions of the two gradually became solemn.
Wang Teng took a deep breath and stared at his wife: "I can really live here for a long time." โ
"This Secluded Sect is actually related to the Immortal Sword Sect."
"Most of those miscellaneous servants are from the Immortal Sword Sect, they belong to various fangs but they don't know each other, and they are obviously selected."
Xie Yihan bowed his head slightly, and his beautiful eyes were slightly condensed.
"Being able to select disciples from the Immortal Sword Sect, the people behind Zhao Qing have extremely deep backgrounds."
"Other than that......"
"And Senior Sister Luo in the mouths of those miscellaneous servants, I have heard of it for a long time."
"He is the only person who is the head of the Immortal Sword Sect, and there were rumors in his early years...... After Luo Xian Ning Jin Dan, he will succeed to the position of the head of the Immortal Sword. โ
"Now, she's also in this secluded sect!"
Wang Teng looked puzzled and asked, "Luo Xianning?" โ
"Why haven't I heard of this man?"
"Yihan, where did you learn about these ......?"
His words came to an abrupt end.
The woman's face was angry, and she glared at him fiercely, but did not answer.
The secrets between these great sects of the Chu State were naturally known to her when she was raised in captivity by Pei Jin, and with Pei Jin's cultivation and status, she would always know more than these minor cultivators.
Xie Yihan looked up and down at her husband's lonely expression, her delicate body fitted, and whispered: "Now that we have plenty of spirit stones, I will buy a superb Zhuji Dan for my husband......"
"Shopkeeper Jiang has one in his hand, which was purchased in Songshanfang a few years ago, and the effect of helping monks build a foundation is as high as seventy percent."
Seeing that her husband was still bored, the woman secretly pursed her lips and leaned over to rip off her shoulder coat......
Wang Teng shook his head and sighed lightly, took his wife into his arms and said with a smile: "It's not because of your past, it's just because of Jiao'er......"
"This Jiazi courtyard is equipped with a Dan room, and I will accompany you to alchemy."
ยท
The night breeze was light, passing through the lonely A-shaped courtyard, rushing to the two long streets behind, taking away the whispers of the little handymen.
Most of the women live in the C-shaped courtyard.
Half of them were from the Songshan Fang Blood Cloak Building, and the other half were from the Immortal Sword Sect.
"The cost of last night's banquet will always cost thousands of spirit stones, right?"
"Far more than that!"
"I don't know how much money this Secluded Sect will give us?"
"Don't worry, Zhao will never treat us badly."
"Zhao garrison?"
"Who is it?"
The little handyman from the Immortal Sword obviously didn't know what bloody clothes were stationed there.
There is a beautiful girl whose eyebrows are dancing, and she said coquettishly: "You Changshengfang's Huashu Lane, you should always know, right?" โ
"We lived there before we came here, and even if the Changsheng Fang was hit hard, Huashu Lane was not damaged in the slightest."
"These are the arrangements arranged by Zhao Garrison."
"Huashu Lane!?"
"I heard the senior brother on duty mention it, there is a Taoyuan ban nearby, it is difficult to be damaged, and it is the most expensive residence in Changshengfang."
"Hmm!"
"Zhao is stationed...... The husband of the Moon Sect Master! โ
Between the words, the two female cultivators gradually became distinct.
"Shopkeeper Zeng said that in the future, we will work for Si You with peace of mind, and everyone will be able to get a Zhuyan Pill next year."
"No matter how powerful your shopkeeper is, can you still compare to Senior Sister Luo!?"
"Silence!"
"Someone is coming......"
"Nonsense!"
In the midst of the noise and frolic, the young man who had just stepped into the C-shaped long street blushed and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister Ye...... I've come to see you. โ
The man's words were gentle and magnetic.
The entire C-shaped courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
โฆโฆ
T-shaped No. 1 Hospital.
Shen Mo, Luo Xianning and Kong Yang, the three of them sat cross-legged.
There was a hazy curtain of light in front of them...... Float in the night sky.
In the light curtain, Zhao Hongning was grooming in the mirror and occasionally talking to them.
The woman leaned over and looked at her eyebrows seriously, and a flirtatious smile came: "I told you a long time ago that you won't suffer a loss if you follow Zhao Qing." โ
Luo Xian's eyes flickered, and she wondered: "Sister Hongling has long known that Zhao Qing has a close relationship with that lady?" โ
Red Lime looked back slightly, smiled without saying a word.
Kong Yang frowned, carefully examined the scattered jade slips in his hand, and whispered, "When did you learn about it?" โ
"A few years ago, when we followed Ji Mengqingrao to Shouyun Mountain."
The woman in the light curtain looked over, her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and she said: "She and Zhao Qing are definitely not in a master-apprentice relationship......
Shen Mo suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Did you perceive it through the Seven Emotions Secret Method back then?" โ
"If it weren't for the master and apprentice...... So what? โ
"It can't be!"
Luo Xianning said in a low voice: "That senior is at least a cultivator above the gods, and his heels are extremely deep. โ
"Even the Bodhi who walked seven hundred years ago had a great fellowship with her."
"And Zhao Qing is just a foundation building monk......"
"She personally admitted that she was Zhao Qing's master."
The light curtain rippled.
Red Lime raised her eyebrows lightly, and her beautiful face was full of playful smiles: "You have been deceived." โ
"Why all the fuss?"
Kong Yang was still in disbelief, and there was still some envy between his words.
"How is it possible for a god-transforming monk to form a Taoist couple with a foundation building monk?"
yes, how is that possible......
Shen Mo nodded approvingly, indicating that this was simply a fantasy.
Only Luo Xianning bit her lip and was silent, and even felt nervous...... Shizun is also about to turn into a god.
She looked back at Red Lime's eyes full of laughter, and directly diverted the topic.
โฆโฆ
"The year of the Lunar New Year, the spring."
"Zhao Qing once went to the Phantom Rain Pavilion to rent a house, and there were thirty-six houses in Huima Lane in Danxia City, one month."
"In the spring of the same year, Shouyun Mountain broke out for the first time."
Luo Xian Ning put down the jade slip in her hand and whispered: "This shows that Zhao Qing didn't know this lady in Shouyun Mountain at that time. โ
Kong Yang looked thoughtful, took the fragmentary jade slip from the woman's hand, and looked at the hazy image in the light curtain.
"And a month later, Zhao Qing returned to the Danxia Sect."
"From this time on, he gradually began to rise to prominence from an obscure stove workshop."
"The Danxia Sect has a family name, and Zhao Qing is a firewood handyman, and he will go to Shouyun Mountain every day...... He must have met that senior in the spring of the year! โ
Zhongzhou, Shattered Star Holy Land, Tianxiang Building.
The red lime stepped forward, lifted the thin quilt and leaned against the soft bed.
She looked helplessly at the suspended light curtain in the room, and wondered, "What's the point of exploring these?" โ
Kong Yang's expression was excited, and he hurriedly said, "You have overlooked the most important point!" โ
"When Miao Jian first arrived in Danxia, it was also in the spring of the year of Guimao!"
"And Zhao Qing and Miao Jian have a good relationship, they live next to each other, and Zhao Qing once married Miao Jian in the name of his brother."
"After more than ten years, they still haven't broken off contact."
"Miao Jian even didn't hesitate to show up and hand over Liu Xian's relics to Zhao Qing to use."
"And the matter of the withered peach secret realm back then is also closely related to Miao Jian."
"There is Shen Shu in the secret realm, and the sword master is the moon-chasing sword master, and outside the secret realm, Shouyun Mountain cuts the clouds across the sky!"
"If I expected it to be good......"
"This lady on Shouyun Mountain is the one who raises swords!"
Luo Xianning's face changed instantly, and he frowned and said, "Miao Jian also has a grudge with my Immortal Sword. โ
"Why don't we take a trip to Vientiane Gate?"
"Since it's a gang, let's help it to the end."
"Maybe this lady gave us one million resources each, which is also the meaning of saving, so that we can secretly take care of Miao Jian."
โฆโฆ
Zhao Hongning sighed softly, and was speechless for a while, only feeling haggard.
After she was silent for a long time, she chuckled and said, "I'm tired, we'll talk about it another day." โ
The light curtain in front of him closed in an instant, turned into half a jade mandarin jade, flapped its wings and blended into the night.
The woman got up from the soft couch and slowly closed the window sash.
After she took off her boots and socks, she wiped her lips with a handkerchief and whispered, "Aren't you stupid? โ
ยท
The night is lonely, and the stars and moon are like frost.
Auntie and Shuyue held each other's arms and stepped down Shouyun Mountain.
On the huge sect square, only two shadows are getting longer and longer.
The long stone staircase swirls and disappears into the depths of the forest.
It's just that all kinds of male and female monks in those days are now gone.
The delicate woman walked lightly, found a clearing behind the stone steps, looked back and smiled: "When we first met, I stood here, and it was still raining that day. โ
Shuyue showed a look of reminiscence: "You also have a sachet hanging around your waist." โ
Zhou Xiaoyi chuckled, grabbed Shuyue's slender waist and combed her sideburns: "You are wearing a light green water robe, and you are standing next to Zhao Qing." โ
The woman's bright eyes smiled into a crescent moon: "It's a blue robe, but it's faded." โ
"Then our family was very bitter back then." The aunt suddenly smiled.
Wang Shuyue shook her head slightly, like ink and green silk fluttering in the wind: "My husband bought a lot of new clothes, but I just didn't wear them." โ
She gritted her teeth secretly: "At that time, I was only afraid of Zhao Qing, a cultivator, and I didn't know how to be thrifty. โ
The two walked arm in arm across the empty square to Dantang.
"And then?"
"Later ......"
"Later, I was afraid that Zhao Qingxiu would be diligent and live longer than me."
Zhou Xiaoyi: ???
She looked at Shuyue in surprise, only to see that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were full of amazement.
"At that time, the Heavenly Dao fragment had not yet endowed me with a spiritual root."
"Husband Jun is a small handyman, and he can't get in touch with those strange methods in Yujing, who would have thought that he could have the opportunity to practice without a spiritual root......
"After that, he followed Zhao Qing to Huima Lane for a temporary stay, and he never went home."
"But they take care of me......"
"At that time, I was too young, and I even thought about waiting for death with him under the tide of beasts, and it would not be in vain to go through the world."
The woman looked at the many houses in Dantang, and then smiled, "This is it." โ
"Room Eighty."
The aunt's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she broke the ban of the Dan room with her strong spiritual power, and pushed the door in.
As far as the eye can see, there is only a Dantai carved of bluestone.
An empty wooden table, and a bed without futon.
Beneath the window, cracks broke in the yellowed porridge bucket, and a layer of dust had accumulated inside.
Shu Yue followed, her eyes swept over the Dan room, and she said with a smile: "I've only been here once." โ
"Zhao Qing let Qing Huan live here by herself at that time, and sometimes he would secretly come over to accompany her while I was asleep."
She casually picked up the wooden lid of the porridge bucket, closed it, and temporarily placed it on the Dantai.
The aunt couldn't help laughing, and whispered, "You are asleep, how did you find out?" โ
"My husband never lied to me, just ask him directly."
Shu Yue took out two night pearls and a bronze mirror to illuminate the small Dan room.
Zhou Xiaoyi applied the water method, and the two of them carefully cleaned and wiped the entire room with a silk handkerchief.
This is Qing Huan's cave room, and they plan to wait for Li Qing to resign to Shouyun Mountain, and then let Zhao Qing and Qing Huan spend the night of flowers and candles here.
On the cornices of the Dantang, red lanterns are hung high, and the yellowed window paper is removed and replaced with new window grilles.
The aunt sat in the Dan room, took out all the makeup and ornaments she treasured, and carefully selected them......
Only the bedding on the bed is not red, but the same rouge quilt as when she was in Shangchu Town.
Before they knew it, the two stayed until dawn.
The stars and moon retreated, and the morning light dimmed.
The light spring breeze from Shouyun Mountain stirred the red lanterns all over the courtyard.
The door of the No. 80 Dan room was closed, and the smell of sweet and slightly astringent fragrance filled it.
The bedding was messy, and the aunt hugged Shuyue's delicate body lightly, and smiled in her ear: "Sect Master, it's time to get up." โ
The woman pulled the futon tiredly and pouted: "Shen Mo, they are all here, don't go!" โ
"Then what will you do when we go to the Underworld?" Auntie laughed like this.
Shuyue frowned and whispered, "How long are you going?" โ
"Two months of round trips is enough."
"You have to accompany Qinghuan, otherwise she will be sad."
โฆโฆ
T-shaped end house.
Wang Teng rushed here early, found Zeng Nianke to take the Siyou clan name, and took Liu Pan to arrange tasks for the disciples.
"The first courtyard of C, the second courtyard of C, take care of the kitchen warehouse and the kitchen room a little."
"The third courtyard of C, the fourth courtyard of C, wander to the hometown of Danxia and throw this pill into all the wells."
"C5th Courtyard, C6th Courtyard, go to Shouyun Mountainside, and simply organize the abandoned Fu Fang."
"First Courtyard B, Second Courtyard B, follow Liu Pan up the mountain and cut down willows."
"The Third Courtyard of the Second Courtyard went to Luniu County and invited the brickons and bricklayers to come to Si Youlong's residence."
"...... of the Fourth Hospital"
ยท
It was not until this moment that Gu Qinghuan, who had been crazy all night, fell into a deep sleep, and his hands were like iron shackles around Zhao Qing.
The white-haired girl pushed open the door, leaned over to check the woman's face with a smile, wiped the corners of her lips with her onion fingers, and said casually: "When you go to Heyang Mountain, take a trip to the East China Sea along the Lanjiang River." โ
Zhao Qing looked puzzled: "What are you doing in the East China Sea?" โ
Si He gently kicked the chains under his feet, playing with Qinghuan's snow feet: "Lu Qing's Heavenly Tilting Sword was thrown into the sea by me. โ
"But if you leave a mark, I will urge Tai Ah Yin to guide you in your search."
Zhao Qing: ???
In that case, why did you throw it away before?
Si He sensed his thoughts and kept silent.
turned to smile and said: "The master can do whatever he wants, you just have to be obedient." โ
"When did you take me out of Shouyun Mountain, this chain ......"
The girl's eyes flashed with urgency, and she casually wrapped the chain around her ankle.
