Chapter 19: Cold Lights, Lonely Nights, Far Away [2]
Liu Ruiying took Hua Nong and followed Jin Peng forward.
This is the third time he has walked this road.
Only this time, Jin Peng walked very slowly.
It was so slow that Liu Ruiying had enough time to see what he had missed in the previous hurry.
Following Jin Peng's footsteps, he unconsciously walked to the door of the inn.
Two hours have not yet come.
But the sky was getting dark.
In the cols, it always gets dark earlier.
Even in the summer.
Although the sky in the northern kingdom of the earthquake was darker than that of the Central Plains and the south.
But the mountains obscured the sunset, but there was no light at all.
Shops, tea houses, and wine shops along the road have begun to light up.
Lighting should be lit before the sky is completely darkened, so that the time can continue and the day will be longer.
It's just that the people in the col can't see the sunset, nor can they see the morning sun.
Liu Ruiying feels that this is a very regrettable point.
Two of the best times of the day, but I missed them all.
By the time they reached the inn's door, the entire town of Yangwen was already completely dark.
There are only the lanterns on the beginning, dotted with stars, marking where this place is.
Although it was not yet time, the five people who had broken into the bathroom and wanted to kill Jin Peng had already stood at the door of the inn.
After they saw Jin Peng's figure, they nodded slightly.
Jin Peng smiled at them and waved hello.
It's just that there is one person between him and these five people.
Blackbird.
The blackbird stood quietly opposite the five of them with his long sword as black as ink.
"You're here?"
The blackbird asked without replying.
"Why don't you go in and sit?"
Jin Peng asked.
"Because there are dogs at the door. ”
Blackbird said.
"Where's the dog?"
Jin Peng asked knowingly.
He knew that the blackbird was talking about the five people who had come to seek revenge.
"It's five old dogs. Lucky not to die, but not reconciled. ”
Blackbird continued.
"Oh......"
Jin Peng answered, holding a long tail note.
Then his gaze looked into the inn.
At a glance, I saw the moon flute drinking by itself.
I saw that she was still drinking like she did back then.
After mixing tea and wine in his mouth and then swallowing it together, Jin Peng really practiced for a while.
Although it can't be said to be completely mastered, at least it can be regarded as a master.
It's just that he can't walk into the inn yet.
Because the trouble in front of me has not been dealt with yet.
Although as long as he nodded, Blackbird didn't mind doing it for him.
But this is not Jin Peng's character.
Since he didn't run away, he wouldn't let anyone else do it.
Although friends are his dependence, he does not rely on friends for everything.
"There are dogs in the way. Not only can't your friends get in, but even you can't get in. ”
Blackbird said.
But it was hinting that Jin Peng was giving an accurate sentence.
Jin Peng was speechless.
led Liu Ruiying and Hua Nong to the blackbird.
"We've got to know each other. ”
Just as Jin Peng was about to introduce the two, Blackbird said first.
"Got acquainted?"
Jin Peng thought it was incredible.
"Yes, I did. ”
Hua Nong said.
The hand unconsciously leaned towards the hilt of his sword.
This small movement naturally can't escape the eyes of the blackbird.
"Since you are already Jin Peng's friends, you are also my friends. Remember what I said to you?"
Blackbird said.
Hua Nong shook his head.
"I said, as long as it's my friend, it's okay to call me a crow. ”
Blackbird said.
Hua Nong smiled.
The blackbird's eyes were also crooked.
He laughed too.
"Since we all know each other, why don't you go in together?"
Jin Peng said.
The blackbird looked at your Jin Peng's eyes, and then turned his head and walked into the inn.
Liu Ruiying didn't know what the situation was in front of him, so he had to follow Jin Peng's meaning and walk in with the blackbird.
As soon as the Blackbird entered the inn, the hall became noisy again.
But when I saw Liu Ruiying and Hua Nong go straight to the table of Yuedi and sit down, they suddenly became quiet.
"Shopkeeper, it's time for the wine and food!"
Blackbird said.
The innkeeper answered, and went out the door.
The liquor shop diagonally across the street is still waiting for the letter.
As soon as it is called here, it immediately starts up there.
But he didn't need the shopkeeper of this inn to make a trip himself.
The sharp-eared Xiao Er in the wine shop had already heard the blackbird in the inn.
At this time, he had already run to the back hall to instruct the cooks.
Although the shopkeeper saw that Xiao Er, he seemed to have heard it.
But he still has to go.
Not for anything else.
Just an attitude.
Show your sincerity and sincerity.
It's just that he was in a hurry, but he bumped into someone.
This person is a cut shorter than a normal person, so it's no wonder the shopkeeper didn't see it.
However, this man was not born short.
It's just because he can't stand up on a four-wheeled cart that he is a dwarf.
"You're here too. ”
Jin Peng heard the squeaky sound behind him, and knew that it was Nanjin coming.
"If I don't come, you'll burn my shop. Shoujiu is the most unlucky!"
Nanjin said.
"Are you here to be auspicious?"
Jin Peng asked.
"That's right. ”
Nanjin nodded.
"Then you say that this birthday banquet for four people is unlucky?"
Jin Peng Q&A.
"It depends on who dies. ”
Nanjin said.
"What if I die?"
Jin Peng asked, pointing to himself.
"That's naturally good luck!
Nanjin said with a vigorous applause.
"What if they die?"
Jin Peng asked again as he pointed to the five people opposite.
"Hmm...... Also auspicious!"
Nanjin pondered for a moment and said.
"According to you, as long as the dead are auspicious?"
Jin Peng was amused by him.
It's just that he's been poisoned, and it's still on his tongue.
At this time, he spoke, but he was a little slurred.
"That's right. When a man dies, he will see blood. And the blood is bright red! It is as bright red as the red hijab of the bride! If such a bright red thing is spilled everywhere, is it not auspicious everywhere?"
Nanjin said.
Jin Peng nodded.
Although this is a fallacy.
But what the southern front said was very well-founded after all.
There are many heresies in this world.
The so-called heresies are generally contrary to the rules of people's daily life.
But why is this heresy never eradicated?
It is precisely because it always has a place to stand on it.
This foot is reason.
As long as it's a statement, there's always one aspect of it that makes sense.
The difference is that it's just not enough.
Nanjin didn't bother to talk to him much.
The controller's own four-wheeled vehicle swayed into the inn.
There is a threshold at the entrance of the inn that is not low.
Nanjin's four-wheeled vehicle walked to the door and floated gently, and then smoothly crossed the threshold.
Liu Ruiying couldn't help but sincerely sigh at Nanzhen's ingenious craftsmanship.
A person can reach such a point just by relying on ordinary things, and it is no wonder that he will not be able to stand up for the rest of his life.
There are no flawless white walls.
Compared to Nanjin's craftsmanship, this is impossible to walk, just a tiny, tiny black spot on the white wall.
"Sister Yue, what should we do?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Do you know who this building chief is?"
Yuedi asked nonchalantly.
"Yes. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"Then don't worry about him, it's better to think more about your own business than anything else. In addition, although I said to help you, I don't want you to ask me everything! You can enter and exit from places like Dingxi Wangyu and Bogulou, why are you so assertive now?"
Yuedi said.
Liu Ruiying was speechless when asked.
In retrospect, however, it was.
Ever since he knew the identity of the moon flute, he had an invisible reliance in his heart.
The whole person is a lot lazy.
Actually, it doesn't matter who it is.
If someone gives you advice and takes you to fight in the north and south, who would be willing to spend such brains?
"As you have heard, it is a very auspicious thing to die today. No matter who it is. ”
Jin Peng said loudly to the five people.
"It is a wonderful thing to kill a man on his birthday. Not to mention in front of so many of your friends. But I don't think any of your friends are willing to help you. ”
The man who was the head of the five said.
"Alas...... Nobody helped me because they knew me too well. If someone helps, the trouble is even greater. ”
Jin Peng said.
But it was a short sword that slowly drew out of the sleeve.
Liu Ruiying recognized it at a glance that this was the Ou family's short sword.
In fact, in the bathroom before, Jin Peng was not unarmed.
This short sword, he also never left his body for a moment.
It's the same as the Blackbird.
At this moment, the cold dishes for the birthday banquet have been prepared.
Eight items per table.
is continuously being sent into the inn from behind Jin Peng.
Just when Xiao Er, who was passing the dishes, held the tray and just crossed the threshold of the inn.
The head of the five, armed with a long-handled knife, was the first to make a sword.
Jin Peng was poisoned.
I can't mobilize a little bit of energy at all.
Even standing was an extremely reluctant thing for him.
But he used all his strength and raised his sword.
He knew he couldn't stop it.
But it's also an attitude.
Just like the innkeeper's insistence on going to the wine store in person, it is an attitude.
There are different attitudes, there are sequences, but there are no big or small.
At this moment, Jin Peng's ability to cross the sword is his last attitude.
However, this sharp sword light flashed away three feet in front of Jin Peng, and disappeared without a trace.
Jin Peng put down his sword and sat on the ground.
He couldn't stand anymore.
Before he lifted the sword, he had already spent all his strength.
He could feel the poison all over his body.
His eyes were a little blurry, and his breathing became rapid.
But he saw the shadows of two people on the ground.
These two shadows are very long.
It shows that these two people are standing on a very high place.
But Jin Peng couldn't look up anymore to see where the shadow came from.
But he still had the spirit to laugh.
He laughs because he knows he can't die.
But today someone is destined to die.
It is destined to be the so-called "auspicious" of the southern formation.
The people in the inn also saw the two figures.
They all came out to check it out.
They saw two people standing on the roof of the inn.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could know that these two people were a man and a woman.
The women are young, the men are older.
The five people also looked up at the two people on the roof of the inn, and resentment grew in their hearts.
They thought that these two were still friends of Jin Peng.
After all, someone who didn't know him well did it for him.
Just as they were about to question sharply, an ancient oil lamp suddenly appeared in the hand of the older man.
He slowly moved his hand holding the oil lamp to the woman beside him.
The woman knowingly lit the oil lamp for him.
Liu Ruiying saw that the light was blue.
This blue is not the blue of the sky when there are no clouds, but the gloomy blue of the sea before sunset.
The blue lights kept beating.
Just like the waves of the sea, constantly beating the reef on the shore, it also knocked on Liu Ruiying's heart.
Feeling overwhelmed, he opened his mouth wide and desperately tried to get some more air.
"Don't look!"
The words of the moon flute came.
Liu Ruiying hurriedly lowered her head.
I found that the previous feeling suddenly disappeared without a trace.
But then the blue lights that just danced, Liu Ruiying saw that the woman was Yuan Shan.
She could stand here.
One can imagine the fate of the two people who want to seek revenge on him.
I don't know if I lost my life completely this time, or if I lost another finger.
Liu Ruiying saw that the blackbird bowed down to the older man.
Even the moon flute beside him is no exception.
Seeing this, Liu Ruiying had no choice but to do the same.
If you don't know something, you can put it aside for a while.
Some things go with the flow, but it's true.
Cold lights.
Alone in the night.
Travel.
These are three words.
And three unrelated words.
But there is an invisible thread that binds these three words together.
This thin line has no name and cannot be described.
It represents a realm.
It's cold in the heights.
The light is hot.
Why is the lamp cold?
If the light has no temperature, as long as it can illuminate the surroundings, it can also make people feel comforted.
But the lights must be warm.
Otherwise, the moth pounced on it and would not have turned into a pinch of ash.
If the lamp is cold.
That is the coldness in the hearts of those who light the lamp.
But why does a person with a cold heart light a lamp?
"Who is he?"
Liu Ruiying asked in a low voice.
"He's a cold lamp man. ”
Yuedi said.
It turns out that the word cold lamp does not refer to an object.
Rather, a living person.
The lamp lit by a person who is cold in his heart is a lamp man.
Liu Ruiying has never heard of any cold lamp people.
But from the respect of the people, he could understand the meaning.
In the Investigation Division of the Central Capital, he didn't see a single word about the cold lantern people.
Actually, it's not nothing.
It's that he's not qualified.
As we all know, the highest martial arts cultivation in the world is the Heavenly God Yao Kyushu.
But everything in the world is like the passage of time, how can there be an end?
Huo Wang is obsessed with collecting star swords, which can be broken into an immortal opportunity.
However, there are only a few people who can have the Star Sword.
But there are always people who can find another way and break the road.
The high place is unbearable, referring to the existence of the Heavenly God Yao Kyushu Realm like this cold lamp man.
Cold lantern people, lonely night people, far travelers.
There are only three people who have reached the top of the world!
The cold lamp shines on the four walls, and only one hand mends the cracks in the sky.
The solitary night is far away, and the mediocre people have rested since the morning.
Traveling far away is not a passerby, picking up the stars and moon at the end of the world.
Even the five supreme onmyoji couldn't deduce where their trajectories were.
Because under the sky, the god Yao Kyushu is already in the extreme realm.
If you break this extreme realm, you will also break this sky.
The supreme onmyoji, after all, is still the Heavenly Dao Gangchang.
If the sky is broken, they can only see a confusion.
The cold lamp man in front of him is such an existence.
"Don't panic. ”
The Cold Lantern Man spoke slowly.
Only then did everyone dare to straighten up.
"I'm just here to get a marriage for my granddaughter. ”
Seeing that everyone had returned to normal, the Cold Lantern Man continued.
At this moment, when Liu Ruiying looked at the cold lamp in his hand again, he no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.
After that, Yuan Shan beside him fluttered down from the roof and came to Jin Peng's side.
Throwing a pill into his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, Jin Peng already knew Qingming.
"The person you asked me to see was your grandfather?"
Jin Peng grabbed Yuan Shan's arm, stood up with his strength, and asked.
Yuan Shan smiled, but did not answer.
With a tap of his toes, he returned to his grandfather's cold lamp man.
