Volume 2 Lonely Heart Stirs Up the Wind and Dust Chapter 126 Half a life is as thin as paper
Through the moonlight as white as a veil, and look at the man's appearance: thin and handsome, the left half of his face is shrouded in soft moonlight, and the right side of his face is hidden in complete darkness, thick hair covers his forehead and eyebrows, and a pair of moonlight eyes are faintly revealed, hiding sporadic murderous aura, which is extremely difficult to detect, and the semi-long hair that is scattered behind his neck is tied in many small braids, all tied with red ropes, hanging down the back of his head, and the wind cannot blow.
The man who was reciting the poem was dressed in a gray and white shirt, draped in the moonlight, the cuffs were already torn, his chest was open, revealing a pitch-black undershirt, which seemed to be embroidered with dense poems with silver thread, and he could not see clearly, leaning on the crumbling carved railing, but it was as light as nothing, his left leg was hanging outside the railing, swaying at will, the scarlet belt was swinging in the wind, entangled with the moonlight, and the dark blue trousers were showing the ankles, and the shoes were almost hanging on the toes, as if they would fall in the next second, extremely sloppy and casual.
In his right hand, he held a silver-white slender soft sword, the pitch-black handle was decorated with a red rope at the end, and a piece of transparent white jade was suspended, which was very valuable. The thumb of the left hand pressed on the blade of the sword, but the tip of the index finger flicked the sword from time to time, making a slight humming sound, and the rhythm of the poems in the mouth twisted and turned, the tone was abrupt, and the wine glasses scattered at the feet were glowing with blue and white, dyed with a faint frost, condensed with the moonlight mist, and entangled with the faint smell of wine in the air.
Cen Du walked slowly forward alone, and the man turned his head when he heard the sound, and his thin lips reflected a silvery white light, which seemed to be bloodless. Cen Du did not intend to hide the sound of his footsteps, but instead he seemed to be weak, and when he saw the man looking at him, he stepped forward and bowed: "Dare to ask your Excellency, why do you drink to the moon here late at night and chant poetry?"
The man chuckled lightly when he heard this, but did not answer, his left hand was propped up under him, and he swung back his left leg hanging outside the building, but his feet did not fall to the ground, but he hooked the blue and white porcelain wine glass with his toes and kicked it up gently, and then used the light soft sword with his backhand, and the wine glass fell smoothly and steadily on the extremely narrow sword body. Look at the man again, sat back in his place again, took the soft sword in his hand into his arms, tilted slightly, the wine glass did not move, and the clear and translucent wine in the glass fell into his mouth impartially from a distance of more than two feet.
Cen Du looked at the faint wine mist, the strong smell of wine spread again, lingering on the tip of his nose, Cen Du's face still did not change, his expression did not change, and he always maintained a posture of pretentiousness, and he was a little more vigilant about this person in his heart. I thought in my heart: "This person can use the three-foot soft sword freely, hold the wine glass without bending, he must be a master with a sword, there seems to be no interval between breaths, just such a big movement, not only the breath has not changed in the slightest, but there is no sound in such a quiet night, its light and internal strength, I am afraid it is no less than its swordsmanship, is it a character?"
After thinking about it again, Cen Duan cleared his throat again, took two steps, bowed and saluted: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name." As soon as the words fell, the man who was still enjoying the wine suddenly threw out the wine jar in the corner on the side, and flew towards Cen Du with a whirlwind! Cen Du did not dare to slack off, and retreated half a step in a hurry in the face of the sudden attack, only to feel a strong energy rushing towards his face, lowered his center of gravity, and hurriedly dodged when the wine jar flew in front of him.
The wine jar flew by the tip of his nose, flying out of half of his body, Cen Di turned around and threw away his arm to take it into his arms, and turned around to dissolve the force, and at the same time connected with his right hand, he felt a burst of soreness at the tiger's mouth, which shows the fierceness of his talent, Cen Du thinks that his martial arts are first-class, but he also has to admire three points. Seeing this, the man laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Your Excellency has a good body!
Cen Du was a little surprised by this person's arrogance, looked at the wine jar in his arms, was slightly stunned, and then came to his mouth and poured a sip. When the crisp and mellow liquor rolled into his throat, Cen Di couldn't help but pour a few more sips, and after drinking the last drop of wine in the jar, he licked his moist lips, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really good wine!" Cen Du is also a person who loves wine, but there are a lot of chores these days, and he hasn't tasted such good wine for a long time.
The man did not shirk when he saw Cen Duan, and he drank a lot of wine, so he naturally rejoiced, so he said: "Okay! I have good wine here, why don't you invite the fellow Daoist who has been waiting on the stone steps for a long time to come and drink together! The road ahead is long, the long night is not over, and the cold wind is hard to breathe, but wouldn't it be beautiful to warm up your body with a glass of wine? Haha, hurry, hurry!"
As soon as these words came out, Cen was as stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. Bai Wushou did not appear, and even the slightest movement was made, but this person could detect it, which was really terrifying, so he had to be secretly vigilant. Seeing that Cen was silent and did not answer, the man shook his head and smiled, and continued to drink alone. When Cen Duan was hesitating, Bai Wushou actually walked up the stone steps when he heard the voice, stepped forward, and stood side by side with Cen Du. Seeing that Cen Di's eyes were wide open, he was obviously angry that he was good at making decisions, and he appeared without listening to his words, but Bai Wushou deliberately staggered his eyes, and saluted the man in white with his fists: "At the same time, passers-by in the rivers and lakes have taken the liberty to ask for a glass of wine from Zunjia, and I hope to forgive me for the abrupt crime." ”
The man looked at Bai Wushou with a smile and nodded, and then a wine glass also flew in, Bai Wushou stepped forward, and forcibly raised his left hand to take it down, and his entire left arm was shocked and numb, and he lost consciousness when he landed, and was pushed away by the remaining strength for three or four steps, fortunately, Cen fainted behind him and secretly helped, and only after resisting his body did Bai Wushou stand firm. The man also opened his mouth and exclaimed: "The two of you are very skilled, I don't know why you broke into my Toad Yue Taibai Building at night?"
"Your Toad Moon is too Bailou?" Cen Du and Bai Wushou glanced at each other, quite surprised. The man jumped down from the carved railing, straightened his clothes slightly, hugged his fists in return, looked at each other, and replied lightly: "My name is Jian Shumei, I am the steward of this Toad Yue Taibai Building, and I am here to guard this Toad Yue Taibai Building under the order of the Yueqiu Mansion, according to the law, it is a felony for the two to trespass on this building, but look at the two of them like Jianghu people who are rushing to a long distance, if there is any inconvenience, I will do my best to help!"
Jian Shumei's eyes are burning, his face is full of righteousness, heroic and uninhibited, and he is refreshing, but even so, it is unpredictable, and the two of them are still carrying a Shen cuttlefish who has been pointed out of the acupoint, so they naturally have to be on guard, after all, the heart of harm is indispensable, and the heart of defense is indispensable. Bai Wushou was about to speak, but was stopped by Cen Di, who stopped in front of him and said, "This is very good, my brothers and I have thanked the steward in advance." The two of us were originally walking the rivers and lakes, because they had been away from home for too long and wanted to go back to see the old mother in Beiguan, so they traveled day and night, and missed the accommodation into the city for a while, and wanted to sleep overnight in the wilderness at will, and did not want to pass by here. ”
Hearing this, Jian Shumei replied cheerfully: "In this case, you two have the right to live in this building for one night, although this is already as dilapidated as it was back then, but my daily cleaning is still clean, and there are many houses, you can live there." Cen nodded again and again, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for the steward, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and we will not cause trouble." After that, he pulled Bai Wushou downstairs, and the two of them carefully dragged the Shen cuttlefish with star-like round eyes but no sound, and walked towards the corridor on the ninth floor of Taibai Building.
But as soon as they wanted to step downstairs, the sound of the sword and the eyebrows sounded behind them, but it was less heroic than before, but a little more cold, like a knife piercing behind them, making people shudder: "I don't know who this is? Why didn't the two of you mention it to me?" Cen was sweating like rain, but pretended to be calm, and slowly turned around and explained: "Dissatisfied with the steward, this is the brother-in-law, because he has suffered from a strange disease since he was a child, he is unconscious, his mouth can't speak, his ears can't hear, so he has been taken care of by our side." This time I went back to my hometown, so I naturally wanted to take him with me. ”
"The two of you are roaming the rivers and lakes, and you also have a younger brother with limited mobility, and you really have a deep brotherly relationship. Jian Shumei said lightly, but there was no emotion in his tone. Fortunately, the three of Cen Dusk were all in a place where the moonlight could not be reflected, and they hid their panicked eyes and expressions in the dark, otherwise the sword book eyebrows would definitely be able to detect the already distorted Cen Du's face, and replied casually: "If a brother is a sibling, how can anyone in the world cut off his siblings?"
Jian Shumei smiled again, laughed and walked back to the railing. After a while, there was the sound of gurgling wine, the sound of plucked swords and the sound of poetry against each other. Cen Dui dropped his hanging heart at this time, but saw Bai Wushou's complicated expression on the side, so he asked in a low voice: "Why is this so?" Bai Wushou said: "When is the eldest brother so timid and afraid of things today, panicked, think about how chic I was in the past, I really ......" Bai Wushou wanted to speak and stopped, Cen Dui naturally knew his intentions, and sighed helplessly, the two of them had a tacit understanding, and they didn't say a word, and silently put Shen Cuttlefish back to the room to rest.
Although each room is not big, it is a sparrow although it is small, and Bai Wushou and Cen Du's house are next to each other, so it is good to take care of them at any time. Even if that sword scholar has the heart to help the two of them, he must not let his guard down. And Shen cuttlefish was tied up with a thick rope by Cen Di and thrown on the side of the bed, like a piece of meat and worm, still unable to move. Cen faint running around for a day, just to deal with the sword eyebrows, thrilling, physically and mentally exhausted, the wine he drank before was really good wine, full of stamina, was turning around to pour a cup of tea, wanting to sober up to relieve fatigue, and when he turned his head again, Shen cuttlefish was gone, and even the rope that tied him was missing.
In a hurry, he hurriedly dropped the teacup, searched in the narrow room with nowhere to hide, lifted the bed and didn't see Shen cuttlefish, turned around angrily, but saw Jian Shumei sitting at the table, drinking tea leisurely alone.
