On the red lacquered window lattice, rose-like wood grain grows, the white window paper is covered with thin ice, the light penetrates in blurbly, the world under the sun is filled with cold, and the red plum is enchanting in the light celadon vase with pure glaze on the case. Lu married standing by the window, the light through the thin ice, refracted from different angles, shining on her snow-white clothes, the shadow falling on the ground seemed blurred.

The snow had not stopped, and the ice edges at the corners of the eaves occasionally dripped, and she looked out the window at the occasional broken snow, silent.

Ning Changjiu got up from the bed, the residual warmth on the side of the pillow was still there, he reached out and touched it, and then looked along the shadow, in his sight, only saw the woman standing tall, the ivory-colored snow neck was full of light, bright and dazzling, and the clouds were ethereal, as if they would melt in the light at any time.

"Awake?" Lu turned his head and asked lightly.

Ning Chang put on his clothes and looked into her eyes.

If this eye is a clear vision, once the world is reflected in the world, the world will be turned upside down in the prism.

Ning Chang looked at it stupidly for a while, his expression gradually cleared, he covered his head, and said weakly: "Recently, I have been reading the papers and reading the classics, and I am physically and mentally tired, so I want to ...... Sleep again. ”

Ning Changchang was about to lie down when he heard a loud sound.

The water in the pen wash on the desk vibrated fine lines.

Ning Chang's pupils shrank.

A small silver sword hovered over the center of his eyebrows, the tip of the sword was like a needle, full of murderous intent.

Ning Chang leaned against the wall, not daring to move.

"Marry...... You, what's going on?" Ning Chang said.

Lu married and said coldly: "Last night's account hasn't been settled yet." ”

Ning Chang didn't know whether he was alive or dead: "Marrying a disciple is not satisfied?"

"Presumptuous!" Lu Wedding turned his fingers on his sleeve, and the sword spirit was instantly revealed, and the surrounding wooden tables, porcelain bowls, lanterns, and ink pens were suddenly covered with frost and snow-like sword energy, and in Ning Chang's sight, the warm light by the window flickered, and in the entire line of sight, only Lu Married's figure was the most distinct.

As soon as Lu Marry's intention moved, countless small swords turned into sword intent shot towards Ning Changjiu.

Dingding ding, tinkling figures kept ringing.

A moment later, those sword intents pinpointed around the contours of his body.

Ning Chang's words immediately softened, and he begged for mercy: "Master, let me go." ”

Lu took a deep breath and said, "What now?"

"What to do?" Ning Chang asked.

Lu Zhan looked at him quietly, his expression was cold, and he was not angry and arrogant.

Ning Changjiu said helplessly: "Can I still go and kill my junior sister's mouth?"

Lu married and said: "Anyway, you have to find a way." ”

"Senior sister is not a child anymore, sooner or later she will know this. Ning Changchang said earnestly: "You don't have to marry because of this mustard...... The junior sister is so well-behaved, she will definitely know how to pretend not to understand, and pretend not to know. ”

"Self-deception. Lu married.

Last night's words, every time she thought about them, she felt like her own drunken words.

How could you say such a thing?

I just let Xiaoling hear it......

"Why is Xiao Ling in your room?" asked Lu Marry coldly.

Ning Chang said: "The purpose of Xiao Ling's coming...... It's the same as marrying. ”

Lu was stunned, her amber earlobes were red, the cold color on her face was no longer there, but it was a sense of disbelief, she stared at Ning Changchang, her lips trembled slightly, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't believe it: "You...... You actually want to be ...... to Xiaoling? She's your sister!

Lu married Qing and shouted angrily, and his words were like knives. The red plum beside him instantly turned into powder and fell, leaving only a bare iron black branch.

Lu married in a rage and turned away, about to slam the door and go out.

Ning Changjiu was also stunned, he felt the sword intent vibrating around the contours of his body, and said in confusion: "Xiao Ling is here to hide from Si Ling, isn't it to marry?"

In an instant, the killing intent in the house was cleared.

"......" Lu Married stopped his steps, turned around, and looked at Ning Changchang in silence.

Snow was blowing from the window.

Ning Chang was a little nervous.

Lu Zhenmari bit her lip, remembering her previous aphasia again, and became even more annoyed: "Why don't you make it clear?"

"I made it very clear. "Ning Chang is extremely innocent.

"Where did you make it clear? It's clearly ...... on purpose" Lu Marry snorted coldly, and his eyes were even more resentful.

Ning Chang couldn't bear it anymore and said, "It's obvious that you're thinking nonsense!"

"It's not that you deliberately guided me and wanted to shame me and be angry with me. You and Xue Porcelain are the same dog! You don't have me as a master in your eyes. Lu married her words harshly and full of anger.

Ning Changjiu shouted injustice: "Marry you pat your chest and think about it, Xiaoling is a fox now, I will ...... Right?"

Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and realized that he had indeed misunderstood him.

But how can she admit it, isn't what the quarrel pays attention to is the momentum of being vexatious?

"What about the fox? You can't do anything!" Lu Marry said coldly: "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why didn't you tell me that Xiao Ling was in the house as soon as I entered the door?

"......" Ning Changjiu thought to himself, it was clear that you didn't give me a chance to speak last night...... He said indignantly, "I shouldn't have opened the door for you last night!"

"Huh?" Lu Yao's expression became even colder: "Who will open the door if you don't open the door for me?" Or do you want to spend the night alone with Xiaoling, but I, as a master, disturb you?"

Ning Chang said: "When you marry and are with the girl Si Ming, how can you see the marrying with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes." You're too bullying and afraid of being hard!"

Lu married and said: "You are embarrassed to say that you will attract the tiger, and you don't know how to restrain it." ”

Ning Chang said: "Although Miss Si Ming has known me for a long time, she ...... Didn't you kidnap her in Luoshu?"

Lu married and said: "I have a simple friendship with Miss Si Ming, and it is not because of you that I have become what I am now? And when you are away, I just practice quietly and strictly discipline myself every day, and in the end, you still blame me?"

Ning Chang wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to speak, he looked at Lu Marrying's faint gaze, and his mind suddenly lit up.

Of course, Lu Marrying is not just complaining or something.

He pretended to bow his head in shame, groaned slightly, and asked, "You and Xiao Ling are both called Sister Si Ming Bandit?"

Lu married and snorted: "I'll ignore what is going on outside the window when you are deaf." ”

Ning Chang showed a look of hatred and hatred: "After Chinese New Year's Eve, I will go to the Heavenly List." But before that, how can I bear to see the marriage being bullied? Tonight, on Chinese New Year's Eve, after we went to Yishang Street to see the lights and enjoy the fireworks, the husband helped you find your face back. ”

"Really?" asked Lu Yuyu.

"Of course. Ning Changchang said calmly: "As the saying goes, robbers are pushed!"

......

......

Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ning Xiaoling ran in the soft snow, looking at the white falling snow in the sky, feeling lonely.

Alas, now it's okay, go to see Sister Si Ming, Sister Si Ming will bully herself, go to see the marrying master, the master is afraid that he will stuff the ball into his mouth. Senior brother must also be on the master's side, and he did not hesitate to sell himself that kind of ...... I can't go back.

Obviously, the closest people were around, Ning Xiaoling looked at the snow cliff, but felt a kind of sadness without relatives.

She went to the Moon Lake boredly.

Di Tingzheng sat on the ice in an old-fashioned manner, brushing his snow-white cat hair, like an old monk in a fixed place.

In front of it, there is an ice pit. "Listen, what are you doing here?" Ning Xiaoling asked curiously.

Di Ting: "Obviously, I'm catching fish!"

Ning Xiaoling frowned and said, "You actually want to eat fish secretly?" This let the benefactor's sister know that you have no good fruit to eat. ”

The fish king turned his head, its eyes were green, and its body was obviously a lot thinner, and it sighed: "I have a little trouble with that woman, and I don't have a deep feud in the sea of blood, so I can't keep an eye on this cat, and then ...... Didn't you help me attract firepower?"

"......" Ning Xiaoling looked at Di Ting and said, "Listen to Senior Brother, you used to be called the King of Fish?"

"It's all the same. The king of fish said lightly.

Ning Xiaoling looked at the ice cave in front of it and asked, "You used to call this because you were very good at fishing?"

The fish king shook his head and said, "No, it's because I used to guard a small fish pond." ”

Ning Xiaoling asked, "Guarding the fish pond?"

"Yes. The fish king said: "The fish in that fish pond are old, small, fierce, and cowardly, and I can name them, they are my friends." ”

Ning Xiaoling asked, "Since they are your friends, why do you still eat fish all day long?" ”

The king of fish Zhenzhen said: "I eat fish, but I don't eat my friends, the former is nature, the latter is morality." I'm a cat with guidelines. ”

At this moment, Ning Xiaoling suddenly felt that the moral code of the senior brother seemed to be inferior to that of a cat......

Ning Xiaoling looked at the ice cave and asked again: "I dug a hole, and I didn't sprinkle some bait, can you really catch a fish if you pick the door like this?"

The king of fish said leisurely: "Of course you can catch it." ”

Ning Xiaoling asked, "Why?"

The Fish King said: "You see, this Youyue Lake is frozen for thousands of miles, and it is impossible for the fish to go out from any other place, this is the sky that they cannot break, and I am the god sitting here, opening a gap in their sky that looks like freedom, I don't need to promise anything, I don't need to deceive them, they will follow the road and swarm here." ”

Ning Xiaoling will be skeptical.

However, looking at this confident sitting posture, there is indeed a feeling that a god is sitting high in the sky, as if it is the absolute ruler of this ice lake.

Sure enough, as the king of fish expected.

It didn't take long for the ice cave, in the deep blue and emerald lake, silver-white fish surged out of the darkness and rushed to the surface of the water, jumping in the water, looking very cheerful.

The Fish King looked at them coldly and let out a lament.

"Look, this is a stupid fish. The king sighed, "They feel that the bottom of the lake is too oppressive, and they take the light shining in the hole as hope, and follow its guidance, and they rush up to the surface of the lake, and run to the freedom they want, but what?"

The king of fish lamented: "The fate of fish is only water, and when they leave it, they are nothing." I'm a god, and I may not be able to see the world beneath the glacial lake, but I just need to give them hope, and they'll deliver their delicious flesh to me. ”

In the process, they will even sing their praises and name this path of chasing light ...... Practice!"

As he spoke, the king stretched out his claws, like a knife out of the sheath, and grabbed a silverfish that had jumped out of the water, and then threw it into a basket of fish beside him, intending to take it home and roast it later.

"Understood?" the Fish King looked at Ning Xiaoling.

Ning Xiaoling listened to Di Ting's words and felt that she understood.

"This ice lake is a world ......," Ning Xiaoling said slowly, "Sitting on top of the world are the gods......? Just a lie?"

The Fish King smiled, its claws flashing in the light, and grabbed the silverfish into its basket, and it proudly said, "That's right, for these small fish and shrimp, I am the supreme lord of the kingdom of God!"

Smack.

The king of fish suddenly received a blow to the head, and he tilted his body and fell to the snow.

It touched its cheek and realized that it was a snowball that had hit it.

"What dare to attack the supreme ......" The fish king looked to the side, only to see a black dress swaying in the wind and snow.

It was immediately silenced and blocked its own basket with its body.

Ning Xiaoling also held her tail and trembled.

Si Ming walked to the side of the fish king, looked at the full fish basket, and praised: "The harvest is quite rich......

The king of fish explained: "I'm just teaching Xiao Ling the truth. ”

"Well, that's good. Si Ming nodded and said, "After the teaching is finished, I will take the props." ”

"......" the king of fish dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. As the 'Lord of the Kingdom of God' of the Ice Lake, it was easily suppressed by Si Ming's gestures.

Si Ming held the fish basket in his right hand and Xiaoling in his left hand, and left with a smile.

The king of fish looked at her departing back and thought to himself, "Why don't you give me back the fish basket!"

Xiao Ling also looked at the fish king with no love.

The king of fish slowly admonished: "This is the sky outside the sky......

......

......

When Ning Changjiu and Lu married the marrying master to go to the famous crusade against Si Ming, Si Ming seemed to have a premonition that he was no longer in the house, and he disappeared without a trace with Ning Xiaoling.

"Did you shield her and secretly report the news?" Lu asked Marrying.

Ning Chang said: "Don't you have any trust in me?"

Lu married and snorted and said, "I believed in you in the past, how did you become like this, you have to reflect on it." ”

Ning Chang sighed. He reflected on it for a while, and silently blamed it in his heart for Lu Marry's incomprehension and unreasonable trouble.

Ning Chang said: "It's okay, there is still a whole night, and I can't run far if I want to come to Si Ming." ”

Lu asked the marriage: "Then where are you going to arrest her?"

Ning Chang said: "She took Xiaoling away, obviously she didn't go far, she should have gone to Yishang Street." ”

Lu Yuyao nodded thoughtfully.

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "Let's go to see the Festival of Lights and fireworks, and catch robbers by the way." ”

Lu agreed to marry and marry.

Night is falling, and the street is as brightly lit as day.

Ning Changjiu married Lu and entered the city unhindered by virtue of the identity card of the Ancient Spirit Sect.

Along the streets, rows of bright lanterns are lit up one after another, and their paper is drawn with colored pencils, and the pen and ink seem to be smeared with fluorescent powder, swirling in the breeze and changing in the candlelight.

Cars and horses drive through the middle of the wide road.

Ning stopped for a long time.

The lights and shadows of the car were swirling across Lu Married's beautiful face, and the sound of conversation between the people rose and fell lightly in the ears, flowing along the prosperity to the depths of the long night.

"It's been a long time since I've been to a place like this. Lu married.

Ning Chang said: "The Caijuan Immortal Palace that day is far more beautiful than here. ”

"That's different. Lu married and said: "The Colorful Immortal Palace is beautiful, but we have been thinking about the meaning behind the beauty, and our heartstrings are always tight, and we have no leisure to appreciate it." ”

Ning Changjiu nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Then aren't we here to arrest people tonight?"

Lu married and said: "It's not in a hurry, anyway, the tiger can't run the fox." ”

Ning Changchang smiled and shook his head.

Lu and Ning Chang were both dressed in white, and they looked out of place in the crowd of people wearing mink jackets and thick cloaks, and the glass lanterns on the walls were trying to illuminate them, as if to imprint the luxury of the city on their clothes.

Ning Chang and Lu married and walked in the intertwined light and shadow, not like immortals, but more like passers-by in the world.

The river that runs through the city flows quietly.

Ning Changjiu and Lu Wedding stood on the long bridge and watched.

On the largest song tower in the distance, a red ribbon slides down the eaves of the high-rise building, their edges seem to be also burning on fire, before the high-rise building, the phoenix bird and the dragon, the sea beast fairy Buddha dance together, the exquisite sedan chair hanging the yarn is like a big fish with colorful scales and come to the brightly lit building one after another.

"Is this the same scene when you spent Chinese New Year's Eve when you were a child?" Ning asked casually.

Lu Married looked at the colorful night and the colorful river, thought quietly about the railing, and shook his head gently, "I can't remember clearly, Chinese New Year's Eve and ordinary days, it seems that there is no difference, I just remember that it was very noisy outside, and the noise upset people, and I couldn't sleep." ”

Ning Chang listened to her words and gently held her hand.

"Don't you like to be busy getting married?" asked Ning Changjiu.

Lu Marry shook his head lightly: "Not really." ”

"Why?"

"Because there is a year beast on Chinese New Year's Eve, if you don't scare away the year beast, the year beast will eat the child at night." I was very young at the time...... So it's better to be noisy than to be eaten. ”

"It's a pity that I didn't get married since I was a child. ”

"Hmph, you weren't born when I was younger. If you want a childhood sweetheart, you can go to Zhao Kingdom to find your fiancée earlier. ”

"I don't want to die young......"

"Alas, I always say bad people behind my back, and I don't know what you say about me in front of Sister Xiang'er?"

"Of course it's all good words. ”

"I don't believe it. ”

“......”

The two walked hand in hand across the stone bridge, their steps slow, their eyes casually looking around, and the streets were full of different smells, and they decorated the night with their own colors. The sound of the river passed away in my ears, the shouting under the eaves came closer, and the steaming heat rushed out, fighting against the wind and snow, and the sound of staggered staggering crushed in the night.

In the distance, the headlamps of flying fish shaped like paper kites rise in the wind, and many firefly lamps are tied to the ends of the big fish, and the lights are greedily turned into people's pupils, staggered and changing. The headlights are connected end to end, like a long bridge across the night.

"When I grew up, I realized that Chinese New Year's Eve was beautiful. Lu said in marriage.

Ning Changchang smiled and said: "When you see beautiful scenery and beauty, you are familiar at first sight." ”

Lu Wedding snorted lightly with a smile, ignored his praise, came to a gouache shop along the road, and walked in calmly.

Ning Chang followed behind.

"If you don't apply fat powder, you have to follow the local customs?" asked Ning Changjiu.

Lu married and said: "I just think these porcelain bottles are good-looking, but I don't like the rouge gouache inside." ”

Ning Changchang praised: "The merchants here like you to buy pearls like you. ”

Lu Marrying responded: "I am indeed not as shrewd as you, you worship me as a teacher, and the apprenticeship gift has not been given, but I have pasted myself upside down." ”

Ning Chang said: "So I also like to marry such guests." ”

"Don't be a guest, it sounds like we're ...... It's the same relationship. Lu married.

Lu Marrying said as he bought things.

In the end, it was nominally Ning Chang who paid for it.

The source of the silver was naturally the money of the sect master that was misappropriated when he left the Sword Heavenly Sect......

"Chinese New Year's Eve here is also called the Spring Festival, and the most beautiful girls in the city will go to the Yutai Pavilion to recite words and worship the heavens, and there are also activities such as poetry and lantern feasts. The young ladies of the Mu family and the Yu family are very beautiful, and I don't know who they are. Ning Chang talked about his understanding of Clothes Street.

Lu married and said, "Do you want to see the most beautiful girl?"

Ning Chang looked at her for a long time and said seriously, "Aren't you watching?"

Lu Zhenmari twisted her cheeks and asked lightly: "Didn't you say that you were going to arrest Si Ming and Xiaoling who were on the run, what's the matter?

Ning Chang said: "They are in the city, but the commander is scheming, we can't startle the snake, let's go shopping again." ”

"How can you be sure they're here?" Lu asked.

Ning Chang smiled rather than answer.

The two walked along the bustling street market.

They ate a bowl of balls on the side of the street.

Others either congratulated each other, or talked about the sons and ladies of the family, of course, the most talked about was the affairs of Luo Shulou and Gu Lingzong today, which collapsed and decayed overnight like a fairy cave in their hearts, which can always cause people countless worries.

After eating the balls, Ning Changjiu and Lu Marrying continued to go shopping, chatting without a word, the two talked and laughed most of the time, but Ning Changchang would sometimes cause 'murder' because of his ridicule.

After chasing all the way, the two unknowingly came to the center of the city.

In the sky, many female monks dressed in gorgeous clothes danced in the sky.

In the center, the brightly lit building is filled with bigwigs, beautifully dressed people come and go.

Ning Chang showed the wooden sign to the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper immediately handed them masks and welcomed them in.

The brand of the Gu Ling Sect Sect Master level is truly unimpeded in Clothes Street.

"Anyone who comes here has to wear a mask. Ning Changjiu handed the mask issued by the guard to Lu Marriage, one for each person, and put it on his face.

Lu married and said: "What does it matter if we are two white clothes mixed in it, whether we wear faces or not?"

Ning Chang said: "It doesn't matter if Si Ming recognizes us or not, on the contrary, she recognizes us, and may take the initiative to provoke, betting that I don't know her." ”

Lu Marrying felt that this was reasonable.

They found a table and sat down, and a waitress immediately greeted them, handed them the menu, and Ning Changjiu and Lu Marrying ordered many dishes, and while waiting, the delicacies were served one by one.

The building was singing and dancing, colorful skirts were fluttering, and all kinds of people were walking around in front of them.

There are people of great status here, and they all wear all kinds of masks, and they talk all over the sky. The mask is a status symbol, and only those small houses can the waiter show his face, because this can give the guests the most beautiful and sincere smile on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"That image doesn't look like Si Ming. Lu Wedding pointed to a woman wearing a demon fox mask and guessed.

Ning Changchang nodded and said, "It's a bit like." ”

"Go up and have a look?"

"Don't go. ”

"Then it's not. Lu Marrying inferred, looked in another direction, and said, "That woman is wearing a very heavy scarf, I think it is to cover up her young age." ”

Ning Changchang said: "The inference of marriage is reasonable. ”

"Isn't it again?" Lu Yu frowned.

Ning Changjiu spread his hands and said, "How do I know." ”

Lu married and said: "What about the robbers who said that they were pushed? Now that Xiaoling is with her, you don't care." Hmph, on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone betrayed their relatives and left, there is really nothing more pitiful. ”

Ning Chang smiled and comforted: "Wait until you have eaten the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and look for it slowly, tonight is still very long." ”

Lu married and said: "I'm going to be full of anger from you." ”

Between the words, the waitress came elegantly with the dishes, bent down slightly, and placed them on the table in order, with meticulous movements.

Lu Marry's eyes were still wandering among the people in the building.

Smack.

Ning Changjiu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the waitress's wrist.

"Got you. Ning Changchang smiled.
