Chapter 198 How to Settle on a Cool Night
After Gongsun Wuqiu's clever words, with "comfort" and "explanation", the so-called insistence in Gongsun Wangjing's heart finally began to waver, and it seemed that he also had some agreement, but after all, due to his current status, many things were already involuntarily, so he had to sigh and said: "Until now, it has become a thousand years of hatred, and it is difficult to turn back." But what you say does have some truth. ”
Gongsun Wuqiu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother, you have finally figured it out!"
It seemed that he recalled the hard days of the year, but he couldn't escape the guilt in his heart, Gongsun Wangjing turned around worriedly and said: "I think that the old palace master only passed on the method of blood insect phantom poison to you and me under the repeated pleas of the two of us, but refused to give the method of antidote to poison, I still had some doubts at that time. It wasn't until later, when Jin Lian found us around the Phoenix Tower, that Jin Xuannu generously gave us the method of detoxification, and I knew the intention of the old palace master. It's too late. I think that the old palace master cared for my two brothers very much, took care of them carefully, and was as kind as a mountain, how could I fight against the evil palace, and the old palace master died, but we escaped by luck. Now the teachings of the old palace master are still in my heart, but things are not people......"
"The younger brother knows what the elder brother is thinking, but let me ask the elder brother, if the old palace master is still alive, will he watch you and me die in pain due to that blood worm phantom poison?" Gongsun Wu said, "So the elder brother doesn't have to blame himself, I guess the old palace master just feels that the time has not come, otherwise with his concern for my two brothers, he will definitely not stand idly by." ”
Gongsun Wangjing nodded, tidied up his clothes for Gongsun Wuqiu, and said softly: "Everyone in the world says that I can speak well, but I don't know that my younger brother is better than me. Gongsun Wuqiu smiled slightly, took half a step back, bowed down and bowed: "Brother praise." Gongsun forgot to ponder for a moment, and stood with his hands in his hands: "Little brother, are your legs better?"
Gongsun threw off the two crutches without asking, it turned out that he didn't need them for a long time, just to hide people's ears and make a scene: "Back to my brother, the younger brother has been able to walk normally, and in less than a month, he will definitely be able to recover as before, and then the younger brother will be able to learn light skills, and he will no longer have to rely on these two crutches." But in order to hide people's eyes, these days, the younger brother still needs to rely on them. ”
"Not bad. Now my two brothers are walking on thin ice, and if they take one wrong step, they will fall into the abyss, and they will never recover. The superficial work still needs to be done well. Step by step, we can laugh and be proud of the rivers and lakes. Gongsun Wangjing suddenly asked, "By the way, the golden lotus surrounds the phoenix tower, can you cut off the contact?" Gongsun Wuqiu never expected him to have this question, and hurriedly replied decisively: "Of course, please believe the younger brother, since the golden Xuannu handed over the antidote to the two of us, the younger brother has never contacted the golden lotus around the phoenix tower." ”
Gongsun Wangjing breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a serious tone: "We are still not what we used to be, and we can get to this point, although we rely on them a lot, but our current identity and status make us have to cut off contact with them. Otherwise, if it spreads, the second owner of the second village and the fourth owner of the mountain villa will secretly collude with the golden lotus to surround the remnants of the Fenglou, and you and I will definitely be ruined! The efforts of this life's work will also be in vain. Little brother, don't let up. ”
Gongsun Wuqiu nodded like pounding garlic: "The younger brother respectfully follows the teachings of the elder brother." ”
After saying that, Gongsun Wangjing was about to turn around and leave, but his toes inadvertently touched Xiao Yan's corpse on the side, looked down, sighed, and then turned his head to Gongsun Wuqiu and instructed: "Deal with the corpse, don't be discovered." Let's go back to the village and rest early. Gongsun Wuqiu bowed down again and said, "Congratulations to my brother." ”
After Gongsun forgot to leave, Gongsun Wuqiu straightened up, shook his head with a sneer, and glanced down at Xiao Yan's corpse contemptuously, squatted down and patted the cold cheek, and sneered wantonly: "Third Brother Xiao, Third Brother Xiao, you look down on me the most on weekdays, but I didn't expect that today, you ended up in such a field, it's really sad." With that, he picked up the short knife that was still stained with mottled blood on the side, laughed wildly, and cut countless blood marks on both sides of his corpse's cheeks, until Xiao Yan was unrecognizable and his flesh and blood were blurred, and he did not vent the hatred in his heart.
If the corpse is hidden, it will inevitably be discovered one day, so that the success will be lost, it is better to throw it in the villa, in a conspicuous place, so that others can find out, and take the opportunity to blame the Zhuxi Tiger, which is the best policy, seamless. Therefore, while the night was still thick, Gongsun did not dare to delay, and then hid Xiao Yan's body on the beam in Xiao Yan's room unconsciously, and then went back to the house to rest, leaving no traces.
Gongsun Wangjing took a step first, but after all, it was the middle of the night, and he didn't dare to return to the room from the main entrance, so he landed on the roof, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of others and the lack of guards, lifted the roof tiles, jumped into the room, and landed silently. When Fang returned to the house, he heard the movement outside the door, as if there was a dispute, and he didn't have time to restore the tiles to their original position, and hurriedly opened the door, only to see Bai Xing's pale face, thin clothes standing in front of the door, willow eyebrows were deeply locked, his face was displeased, and he was pulling and pulling with the disciples guarding the door, arguing endlessly.
"What's going on?" Gongsun Wangjing asked with a light cough. The two disciples were helpless, and when they heard the voice of Gongsun forgetting the scene, they hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Back to the second village master, the white girl came to visit late at night, and I waited until I saw that the lights in the house had been extinguished, thinking that the second village owner had already rested, so I stopped her." Who knew that the white girl refused to leave, so there was a dispute for a while. ”
Bai Xingxian also clasped his fists and saluted: "The second owner, the younger generation visited late at night, and it was sudden, and don't blame it." Gongsun Wangjing breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I see, just report it, why hurt the peace." The next time the white girl comes to visit again, Hugh should stop him and just inform me. The two disciples glanced at each other, bowed down and said in unison, "Subordinates obey orders." With that, the two of them stopped their waists again, made way for Shirahoshi Tears, and stood on both sides of the door again, guarding the guard.
Gongsun Wangjing then welcomed Bai Xing Tears into the room, closed the door, and before Bai Xing Tears came back to his senses, Gongsun Wangjing had already lit the oil lamp on the small table, and the dim light instantly filled the whole room, Bai Xing Tears looked around, only to see that Gongsun Wangjing's house was no different from theirs, and it was not extravagant and wasteful because of his identity as the second owner, luxurious and rich, but a little simple and elegant, very tidy. Gongsun Wangjing blew out the fire fold in his hand, turned around and saw her standing still, so he received her with a smile and said, "White girl, but please take a seat." ”
Bai Xingxian came back to his senses at this time, bowed deeply, and bowed: "The younger generation came to visit suddenly late at night, and I really had to do it, and I hope that the second owner will not be surprised." Gongsun Wangjing was still smiling, sitting next to the small table and posing two jade cups, full of tea, the warm tea floated out two wisps of white smoke, wafting out a unique fragrance, Gongsun Wangjing pushed one of the cups to Bai Xing's tears, and said softly: "Don't care, I don't have any Qionglou Yuyu here, Tiangong Treasure Palace, come if you want, no need to scruple." The long night is cold, so sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to ward off the cold, and then it doesn't hurt. ”
Bai Xing tearfully heard this, so he put aside his worries, opened his heart, sat on the other side of the small table, held the warm teacup with both hands, took a sip, his eyes narrowed slightly, the tip of his tongue lightly touched his lower lip, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fragrant, it's completely different from that bitter pine tea." Gongsun Wangjing squinted his eyes and smiled: "This is Qionghua tea outside the Saiwai, which is very rare." White girl, I don't know what happened to visit late at night?" Bai Xing hurriedly swallowed the tea in his mouth, put the jade cup back on the table, cleared his throat, and was about to say what he thought in his heart, but he stopped talking, unusually, twisted, and didn't know where to start.
Gongsun Wangjing didn't urge her, just smiled and waited quietly. Bai Xingxian really didn't know how to speak, so he asked rhetorically: "Seeing that the sky is about to brighten, why hasn't the second village owner rested yet?" Gongsun Wangjing was slightly stunned, and as soon as his mind moved, he replied: "Fang was meditating and practicing, so he hasn't rested yet?"
"To prevent disturbing the state of mind. Gongsun Wangjing took a sip of tea and replied calmly.
"Then didn't I disturb the second village master Qing Xiu?" Bai Xing was a little frightened, lowered his head and pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered.
Gongsun Wangjing staggered his eyes, did not dare to look at Bai Xing with tears, seemed to be a little nervous, pretended to be calm, but still replied without leaking: "Bai girl, don't worry, it's okay." Girl, what do you want to ask, but it doesn't matter. If I had known, I would have known everything, and I would have said everything. ”
Hearing this, Bai Xing seemed to have made some decision, straightened up, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Gongsun Wangjing and asked: "The second owner of the second village said that he did not light the oil lamp in order not to disturb his state of mind, and people in the realm of the second owner of the village will also be disturbed by external objects?"
"I am not a saint, let alone a god, I also have three souls and seven spirits, seven emotions and six desires, and the six roots are not broken, how can I be beyond the world, how can I not be disturbed by external objects?" Gongsun Wangjing smiled and replied truthfully, "If we who practice martial arts, if we want to go to the next level, we will inevitably return to enterprising, in the final analysis, it is just a desire." If you have desires, it is difficult to keep your heart pure. Therefore, it is all the more necessary for us to concentrate on cultivation, lower our posture, and not care about temporary gains and losses, in order to achieve the Great Dao. White girl, I don't know my answer, are you still satisfied?"
Bai Xing suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "I understand, senior, it's not a shameful thing to have desires, the rivers and lakes are chaotic, the red dust is rolling, and a few people can get out of it and not let the red dust." The long road of cultivation cannot be achieved overnight, not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself, in order not to shake the original intention. ”
"The white girl's understanding is really extraordinary. Gongsun Wangjing praised.
"What did the second owner say, I'm just a junior, how can I compare to the second owner. There is another thing that has bothered me for a long time, this knot is not untied, and the younger generation is really difficult to let go. Bai Xing hesitated again.
