Chapter 19: Vinegar
In the deep night, Liang Yu buried his head all the way, and occasionally met some passing doormen, but he also pretended to ignore them, and finally returned to the Foreign Affairs Hall and quickly closed the door.
In the outer courtyard of the huge Foreign Affairs Hall, there were only Liang Yu and Hu Xiaoxiao, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and the unbearable pain and exhaustion made Liang Yu give up the idea of returning to his room, he leaned against the door panel and closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.
Hu Xiaoxiao saw that Liang Yu was fine except for losing strength, so he comforted him briefly, and then obediently ran to the kitchen to cook.
Liang Yu looked at the faint fire in the kitchen, thinking that after he came to Wanli for forty-six years, he had almost experienced something that he had never dared to imagine in nearly thirty years before, he felt a little emotional, but more of a sense of loneliness.
Although he has a master, the old man sees the dragon all day long; although he has Hu Xiaoxiao, this child-like immortal always makes him a little jealous; as for Qin Ruoming and Zhao Xuzhong, everyone also has their own things to be busy with...
In the past few months, he suddenly found that he had experienced so many ups and downs, but he didn't even have someone to talk to, so he felt more and more pitiful, pitiful and wanted to cry...
"It's time to eat!" Hu Xiaoxiao came back wagging his tail, "You... Crying?"
Liang Yu pointed to his swollen eyes and said, "Don't make a fuss, it's not reasonable to shed some tears when you are injured like this?"
"That's right!" Hu Xiaoxiao agreed, and then carefully helped Liang Yu back to the bed in the bedroom step by step, and moved the table in front of him, she handed the chopsticks to Liang Yu and said, "Today is in such a hurry, you made a bite to eat, you can just take it!"
Liang Yu smelled the fragrant rice, and finally felt a warmth in his heart, and said softly: "Thank you!"
Hu Xiaoxiao leaned on the edge of the table, leaned out slightly, stared at Liang Yu's eyes and asked, "Qin Ruoming asked you a question today, I also want to know..."
"What's the problem?" Liang Yu glanced at Hu Xiaoxiao's big flickering eyes as he chewed his rice.
"Long Jiao!" Hu Xiaoxiao's tail stood up behind him, "You like Long Jiao, right?"
Liang Yu's mouth suddenly stopped, and then replied while chewing: "You are a child, don't ask!"
Hu Xiaoxiao pursed his mouth, slapped the table and said, "I know! You have no conscience, you still have the face to eat my cooking! I just have no cultivation now, I can only maintain this child's body... If it had been before..."
Liang Yu was so told by Hu Xiaoxiao that he had to stop, and comforted: "Yo yo yo! Xiao Xiao Daxian did not move his liver fire for this matter? Haha! Are you jealous? For me?"
Hu Xiaoxiao glared at him and said angrily: "Phew! You were beaten into a pig's head, who is rare! You eat yours! I won't be back tonight!" After saying that, she really walked outside!
Liang Yu was so weak that he couldn't move, and after greeting him at the table for a long time, Hu Xiaoxiao really slammed the door and went out without looking back...
The sunlight shined through the window, coating Liang Yu's face with a hot feeling! He was just about to lazily reach out to rub his face, when he suddenly heard someone next to him shouting: "Don't move! I just wiped the medicine for you!"
In Liang Yu's eyes, there was the familiar fox-eared girl, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Xiao Daxian has lost his anger, where did you go last night?"
Hu Xiaoxiao smashed the medicine bowl in his hand and replied casually: "Baicao Pavilion! I went to Zhao Xuzhong to ask for a recipe for you to reduce swelling! When you came back, you were already asleep!"
Liang Yu looked at the extra thin blanket on his body at some point, and couldn't help but feel a full sense of happiness in his heart, and was about to say thank you, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of the Foreign Affairs Hall.
"Why did you come to the door at noon?" Hu Xiaoxiao muttered to himself as he put down the medicine bowl in his hand and walked out.
After Liang Yu heard the sound of the door opening in the bedroom, Hu Xiaoxiao said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you here?"
"I heard Senior Brother Qin say in the morning class that Liang Yu was injured when he returned from me yesterday... I brought some medicine and some food. "This voice is... Long Jiao?!
Liang Yu's heart suddenly stirred up a wave of turmoil! He had recovered some of his physical strength at this time, and when he saw that his dirty clothes had been taken off by Hu Xiaoxiao and he was wearing a fairly neat underwear, he hurriedly grabbed a fairly clean shirt and changed it on.
Although Hu Xiaoxiao is usually a little childish, she is not ignorant of the general situation, so she only heard her say in a flat tone: "Since you are here, please come in! That kid has just gotten up!"
"Just got up?" Long Jiao's voice was a little hesitant, "Then why don't I come back another day?"
"Oh, he's here, let's go in and see him!" He must be very happy to see you!" Hu Xiaoxiao persuaded in a strange voice, and then shouted towards the inner courtyard, "Cousin, your little senior sister is here!"
This sound suddenly made Liang Yu goosebumps fall to the ground, and made Liang Yu instantly think of the sound in the fireworks in the film and television drama!
Fortunately, Long Jiao had never been out of the mountain gate, and she just felt strange about Hu Xiaoxiao's ill-intentioned voice, but she didn't think much about it, but just asked suspiciously: "Cousin? Could it be that Liang Yu is also a fox fairy?"
Hu Xiaoxiao sneered and said, "If he were my clan, there wouldn't be so much trouble!
"Oh oh!" Long Jiao couldn't help but smile and said lightly, "Actually, you really look like a pair of brothers and sisters!"
While speaking, Long Jiao had been led by Hu Xiaoxiao to the door of Liang Yu's bedroom, and Hu Xiaoxiao asked inside: "Cousin, can the little senior sister go in?"
"Please come in!" replied Liang Yu in the room.
"Sure enough, the injury is not light!" Long Jiao couldn't help but say when she saw Liang Yu's pig's head.
"Not really!" Hu Xiaoxiao said sourly on the side, "Your Senior Brother Xin can be said to be angry at the crown..."
Long Jiao hurriedly answered: "I know this sentence, it's a red face when you are angry with the crown!" After she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed something, her face turned red, and she waved her hand and said, "No, no, no... Little girl, you didn't use this sentence correctly!"
This big and small conversation immediately caused all three people in the room to laugh. Long Jiao's white and tender face was red with shame at this time, and she explained again and again: "You misunderstood, Senior Brother Xin and I really have nothing to do, but Senior Brother, I feel very guilty when you are injured..."
Liang Yu knew that the joke was almost over, so he diverted the topic and said, "Thank you, senior sister, for coming to see me... This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty, I have a dislike for the people of Ziyang Palace!"
Long Jiao nodded and said, "The last time we first met in the Immortal Trace Forest, I heard that you were not on good terms with them. Speaking of which, I admire you a little, it's really courageous!"
Liang Yu smiled, but Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at him on the side and said: "Yesterday, when you were sorting out the books, I listened to you talk for a whole afternoon in the willow wood card, since you love to talk so much, it is better to come and go in the future, I will avoid it..."
Hearing this, Liang Yu and Long Jiao glanced at each other, and their faces showed obvious shame, Hu Xiaoxiao saw this, suddenly turned around, and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't you say that you brought some delicious food? I'll try it..."
Liang Yu is not a fool, how could he not see Hu Xiaoxiao's thoughts? But he really didn't dare to accept an outlier, especially an outlier who only looked like a six- or seven-year-old girl, so even if he was ashamed of Hu Xiaoxiao in his heart, he could only treat her as a little sister!
As for Long Jiao...
Since then, Liang Yu and Long Jiao have really had more contact, but because of the orders of the master, they can only try their best to keep a distance in front of people, but the distance in space can be closer to each other at a certain time...
Those who have no intention of this matter will naturally ignore it, and those who have a heart will naturally see it really! For example, Hu Xiaoxiao, or Xin Ruoping...
After all, Hu Xiaoxiao has experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs, and she is very open to the gains and losses, and stays out of the matter with the sentence "go with the flow", whether it is true or not, but also frank. said to himself, "Instead of gambling with Liang Yu with this young girl's body, it is better to concentrate on cultivation and resume cultivation as soon as possible." ”
On the other hand, after Xin Ruoping was taken back to the room by Qin Ruoming to wake up, looking at the shattered Tiangang Heart Guard, he had the heart to find Liang Yu again, but he was afraid of the terrifying flying sword, coupled with Qin Ruoming's words, although he was unwilling, he could only give up for the time being.
Two years have passed, at this time in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the border passes have been in war, and countless refugees have moved to the customs and settled in eastern Lu, northern Hebei, southern Henan and other places.
In the court, Emperor Shenzong's health deteriorated, and in the countryside, thieves and robbers were in civil strife, and the rebels were everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living. Looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there are only a few small fishing villages on the seaside that the officials and soldiers have no time to take care of, which can still be regarded as a paradise everywhere.
"Look, the mirage is breathing!" shouted a boy on the beach, his cheeks flushed by the sea breeze, pointing to the sea in the distance.
The fishermen near the boy looked to the sea when they heard the sound, and saw that on the surface of the sea like smoke, pavilions and pavilions were floating and appearing.
"What a fuss, it's just a mirage, are you still seeing less on our Peng Island?" said another older teenager, pretending to be old-fashioned.
Without waiting for the young man to say anything, an old man with a dark face suddenly pointed to the mirage and stammered, "God... The gods are fighting in the sky!"
Everyone's eyes stared into the depths of the sea, through the layers of waves and water vapor, and behind those ethereal pavilions there was a ring paved with stone slabs, and two figures could be faintly seen on the ring, and the surrounding area was still flickering with mottled brilliance!
How dare these simple fishermen believe that the mirage is anything but illusory, and that there is really a competition and examination on the ring that they cannot imagine! It's just that this competition is in an isolated blessed land in the East China Sea, and it is just a coincidence that it appears in front of the eyes of the world!
This blessed land cave is slightly different from the Taoist "thirty-six cave heavens, seventy-two blessed lands", it does not really exist in the space where people live, but only a rift between two or several spaces, similar to a floating island suspended between the spaces.
These spatial fissures have the same sunshine, rain and dew, mountains and rivers as the world, and even share the glow of the sun, moon and stars with the world, but the aura during this period is ten times that of the world.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled bang in the ring, and I saw a tall and thin man with a mustache just fall to the ground, and the bluestone slab under him had been crushed to pieces.
The mustache was clutching his chest with one hand, his aqua-blue robe was being crumpled by him, and the long sword in his other hand had been taken off, he wanted to struggle to get up, but as soon as he exerted his strength, his face swollen and turned purple like a pig's liver.
In front of the mustache, a blue-robed man who looked younger than him was half-squatting, shaking his finger a little playfully and said, "Master Xuyun's nephew don't move, everyone is watching, if you spurt out a mouthful of blood, it won't look good..."
