"Is that you, Miss Shui Xue?" Tang Gu was a little incredulous.

Veil, Teenage ......

This black-clothed girl wearing a black cloak who came to the top of the mountain to collect dew was the blue-clothed girl Shui Xue who bought a lantern "Peony Pavilion" from him for a hundred stone coins in Fulanjiao City more than two months ago.

It's just that at that time, she was followed by a man and a woman, walking in the crowd, like stars holding the moon, and the blue clothes she was wearing were completely different from the current dress, plus after a long time, and only one side, Tang Gu didn't think of who she was for a while.

"It's me. ”

Shui Xue smiled slightly, for Tang Gu, who sold lanterns in the floating lanjiao market, which was obviously completely different from ordinary stall vendors, obviously remembered it vividly, and still hadn't forgotten it.

"What are you doing here?" she asked rhetorically.

Obviously, although he didn't mind in his heart, he was obviously a little puzzled and curious about Tang Gu, who was alone and lived on such a tall and remote mountain.

"Me?"

Tang Gu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's nothing, practice here." ”

"Practice?oh!"

Shui Xue blinked her eyes and didn't ask again, obviously afraid of touching any taboo, Tang Gu looked at the white jade silver bottle in Shui Xue's palm, and asked with the same curiosity: "What about you, are you collecting dew?"

"Well, I'm collecting moon dew. ”

Shui Xue agreed softly, with an obvious sadness in her eyes: "My father's health has always been bad, it is said that every ten drops of moon dew collected, plus saffron, can be refined into a 'Nine Turns Xuandan', which is very good for my father's body." ”

"I want to refine one hundred and eighty 'Nine Turns Xuandan' for my father to ensure that he lives a long life, so I have to collect this often, the Moon Blade Peak is the highest, the location is remote, and the moonlight is close to the end, and the aura is enough, so I came here late at night. ”

"Oh. ”

Tang Gu agreed, and suddenly realized, only then did he remember that Shui Xue's other identity was still a first-grade medium-grade alchemist, and he was also the only real first-grade alchemist in Shiyan Town.

It was not surprising that she was going to refine the elixir for his father and collect materials here, no wonder she would come here late at night.

This kind of moon dew, the attribute is yin, and can not land, once it lands, it will be lost aura, so it must be at the peak of the moon, with special means, you can slowly collect a small drop, during the day, but there is no more.

And if you want to collect ten drops, it will take at least half of the night, ten drops of moon dew, to refine a "Nine Turns Xuan Pill", deducting the possibility of failure, one hundred and eighty grains, at least three or four months, it will be possible to really collect them all.

This Shui Xue's filial piety is really far from being comparable to ordinary women, if it is someone else...... Even if he really wanted to refine any elixir for his father, he wouldn't come here in person in the cold late at night.

It is enough to send a subordinate or maid at will, but she wants to do it herself, and she needs to wait for three or four months without stopping, and this patience is far beyond the reach of ordinary women.

It was too early, Shui Xue obviously needed to collect more moon dew, and the two of them were not sleepy, and they were sitting side by side in the open space in front of the thatched house, talking slowly with Tang Gu.

Tang Gu saw that she had been holding the silver bottle in her hand, although the process was not complicated, but she was definitely tired of maintaining this posture, and immediately gave her an idea.

He reached out and took a few branches, set up a triangular shelf in the open space in front of him, and then used a red rope to hang the silver bottle in the air, and the jade bead was lightly placed on the mouth of the silver bottle.

Although this is obviously not as fast as the moon dew generated by using internal qi to urge the jade bead to rotate, it is obviously much easier, and the water and snow no longer have to be held all the time.

As time passes, as long as people look here, more moon dew will continue to grow outside the jade beads, which will fall into the silver bottle, and every half an hour, there will be one or two drops.

The two sat on the ground, chatting casually, and slowly, they talked about the lanterns that Tang Gu made last time.

"The horse lantern, known as the cockroach lantern in ancient times, also known as the fairy sound candle, the heron lantern, the horse riding lantern, and some people call it the magic lantern, is one of the traditional toys in my hometown, a kind of lantern, commonly used in the Yuan Xi, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals. ”

Tang Gu slowly recounted the history of the marquee lantern in his memory, and told Shui Xue about its production and operation principle, and Shui Xue was fascinated by it.

She asked curiously: "Your hometown? It turns out that you are not a native of Shiyan Town, and what are the festivals such as Yuan Xi, Lantern Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Tang Gu smiled slightly, but his expression suddenly became a little trance, he didn't say much, but Shui Xue, who seemed to be interested, and said in a chattering voice: "The 'Legend of the White Snake' you made attracted a lot of people, and I saw it more and more fascinating, and then it was like watching a play."

You did a good job, Bai Suzhen imprisoned Fahai in Leifeng Tower, and their family of three went to the sky to be immortals, but unfortunately they were bought in advance, and I could only buy Zuihou's 'Peony Pavilion', but that one is also very good.

I am a person who often looks at the marquee, and everything that flows in the world has its own destiny. Weishenme It is going to spin like this, to catch that blissful light in the orange?"

"Huh. Tang Gu smiled, "Perhaps, this is their fate, if they don't turn, then the lamp will die, and the story will no longer flow." Because it rotates, because it can't be caught, it's all the more precious. ”

"Is that so? The characters in those stories, you come and go, chase each other, never stop, so lively, just like this long life, no one knows where the end is, until the candle runs out, and then everyone disperses. ”

"Actually!"

Tang Gu smiled and said: "It's not just a marquee, water girl, if you have a chance, next time you come, I will make you another kind of lamp, I believe it is definitely better than a marquee." ”

"What kind of lamp, good, good...... Then we're done. ”

"Hmm. ”

Tang Gu didn't tell Shui Xue what kind of lamp it was, but ...... In his memory, a lantern looks simple, but when it flies into the sky, it twinkles like stars, and the beautiful lantern is a hundred times more than a marquee.

There was silence between the two, and both were immersed in their shijie and did not speak.

Suddenly.

Shui Xue turned her head, her pair of eyes like water waves, stared at Tang Gu, and asked softly, "Brother Tang, can I ask you a question?"

"Huh?"

Tang Gu was awakened from her contemplation by her words, looking at Shui Xue's mood that seemed to be a little low suddenly, his heart softened, and he said softly: "What question, ask?"

"What is love, you say?"

Raising her head, Shui Xue looked up at the stars in the sky, as if asking Tang Gu, and seemed to be talking to herself.

The moonlight hit her hair, and it was blue.

"Huh?" Tang Gu was stunned, what love was, he really didn't know this.

There are thousands of kinds of love in the world...... But which one does Shui Xue want to ask?

He asked tentatively, "Which one do you want to know?"

"Which one?"

Shui Xue's eyes moved, thought about it, and seemed to have made a lot of determination, and then said slowly: "My father obviously loves me very much, treats me like a pearl in the palm of his hand, and gives me everything." But in the same way, for the sake of marriage, he can marry me to someone I don't know at all, so I wonder, what is love?"

"Huh?"

When Tang Gu heard this, he instantly understood what Shui Xue meant by asking him just now.

Maybe I didn't want to ask him, maybe I just wanted to talk to myself and ask myself.

Maybe it's just because I've been bored for a long time and no one has spoken, so I finally found someone who didn't have much involvement, but was willing to listen to her heart.

He was silent for a long time, then asked with a smile: "It is said that that the young city lord is handsome and chic, and he is a demon hunter, and his future is limitless, isn't this good?"

"No, it's not that he's bad, it's just that marrying someone you've never met before, everything was too hasty. ”

Tang Gu then understood everything.

After thinking about it, he looked at Shui Xue, and suddenly said very seriously: "Shui Girl, I don't have an answer to your question, but I can tell you a story about my hometown that has been passed down for a long, long, and long time." ”

"This story is called 'Liang Zhu', and some people call it - 'Butterfly'!"
