Chapter 354: The Drinker
Deeper nights.
The brightly lit Liuhe building also looks brighter.
But even so, it still couldn't illuminate Luo Piaoling's gradually faded eyes.
Listening to the rain pavilion, everyone has put their hands down for a long time.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit dreary.
At some point, there was an overabundance of wine on the table.
For some reason, Luo Piaoling actually drank by himself.
In fact, his alcohol consumption was not bad, but after he was seriously injured a few years ago, it was not as good as before.
If it was usual, Wei Wei would not let the senior brother drink.
After all, drinking alcohol hurts the body, especially the senior brother's self-cultivation, and drinking again will inevitably hurt the body even more.
Now, she can't stop him from drinking to drown his sorrows.
Obviously, the senior brother and her held on to the last bit of luck, hoping that all this was just a coincidence, and the inner ghost did not really exist.
But the truth is always disappointing.
She didn't dare to look at the palms of the others, and she didn't know who the inner ghost was.
But when she saw the demeanor of her senior brother, she knew that the inner ghost really existed, and it must be someone she knew well.
She could only hold back her tears as she watched as the senior brother poured the wine into her mouth cup by glass.
Since the fall of Shifu, it was the first time she had seen her senior brother so depressed, that is, when she learned that her cultivation could no longer be restored and she could no longer practice martial arts, she had never seen Luo Piaoling give up on himself.
Perhaps heartache is not something that physical pain can reach.
As if tears had flowed into her mouth, Vivi felt a bitter bitterness.
The wine that the senior brother drank should taste like her tears, right?
The dull atmosphere of what should be a noisy and lively occasion will not last long, and someone will definitely break it.
At that moment just now, everyone could see clearly who had the blackest hands and whose hands were the cleanest.
Who is the ghost in the Cardinal Sect, the clear-eyed person is naturally like a mirror, and the head is half a beat slower, and he is still confused.
They desperately need someone to guide them.
And tonight, in this Liuhe building, there is no shortage of such people.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Luo Gongzi's plan is very clever, it is really clever, I admire it!" Yu Le slapped his hands and laughed, he could see Luo Piaoling's sad appearance, and it was not in vain that he took great pains to speak all night.
Luo Piaoling only cared about drinking.
"It seems that Yu Gongzi has seen who this ghost in the Cardinal Sect is. Xue Qinghuan did not have any doubts in her words.
"Isn't the Snow Pavilion Lord also seeing it?" Yu Le asked rhetorically, and then the corners of his mouth pulled out the mockery, and continued, "Of course, although Luo Gongzi's clever plan is good enough, it is only a foil. ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Is there anything better than a clever plan?"
Yu Le said: "What is more wonderful than a clever plan is a wonderful person who cooperates with a clever plan." ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Where is the wonderful person?"
Yu Le said: "There is one person in front of you, so the master of the Snow Pavilion does not have to be humble, and the other person is the short shopkeeper." If it weren't for the two of you to echo it in a timely manner, otherwise, just by relying on Luo Gongzi's tricks and nonsense, as long as everyone pondered for a while and a half, they could find the flaws in his words. ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Please also ask Gongzi Yu for advice." ”
Yu Le snorted lightly and said, "The so-called law may exist, but peeling off the rust will transfer the original magnetism of the iron tool to the hand, which is really nonsense!"
Xue Qinghuan smiled: "The reason why iron tools rust is that they are corroded by the air, and it can indeed be said that the magnetism is lost to the air. ”
Yu Le said: "Doesn't the Snow Pavilion Master's words also mean that the rusty iron has long lost its magnetism?"
Xue Qinghuan said: "So ......"
Yu Le said: "So this red-clothed sect ghost does not have the magnetism left behind when the rusty iron is peeled off, which is no different from ordinary people. ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Then this method of kneading the black charcoal strips, it is impossible to judge who has stronger magnetism in the hand." ”
Yu Le said: "No, this is a stupid method." ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Young Master Luo let everyone witness together, whose palm is darker and whose palm is cleaner, and everyone knows it at a glance." ”
Yu Le said: "But he didn't say that the blackest palm is the inner ghost!"
Xue Qinghuan said: "The blackest palm is not an inner ghost, could it be that the cleanest palm is an inner ghost?"
Yu Le said: "Why can't this be the case? The more you have a clear conscience, the more boldly you can rub the black charcoal strips, and the palm of your hand will naturally be extremely black with charcoal shavings." And the inner ghost himself, because of his weak heart, only dares to act like a show, but does not dare to exert himself, and in the end his hands will definitely be the cleanest. ”
Hearing this, those who don't understand it anymore have already realized it.
But Xue Qinghuan didn't have the slightest surprise on his face, and said: "Therefore, what Luo Gongzi's stupid method measures is not the amount of magnetism on the palm, but the human heart." ”
Yu Le said: "So I have to call Luo Gongzi's method a clever plan, but he still underestimates the people around him." ”
Xue Qinghuan frowned, puzzled.
As they spoke, Luo Piaoling almost finished drinking a jar of wine.
Wei Wei could only look at her senior brother, her eyes bloodshot.
Yu Le said: "Why don't you want to think about it, you and I can find the loopholes in Luo Gongzi's plan, since the inner ghost can be hidden for so long, isn't it more sensitive and suspicious than us?"
Xue Qinghuan said: "It is also to avoid being discovered by this inner ghost, so Luo Gongzi will ask Xue to divide the charcoal into twenty-three pieces, and they will test them at the same time." ”
Yu Le said: "This trick is indeed an insurance method, but now it seems that it has already been seen through." ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Why did Yu Gongzi say this?"
Yu Le said: "I also said just now, only people with weak hearts dare not rub black charcoal strips. ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Yu Gongzi did say so just now. ”
Yu Le said again: "But do you see that this brother has a little bit of a weak heart on his face?"
Xue Qinghuan looked at the other table next to Luo Piaoling as she said.
There were five people sitting at the table, all of whom were from the Listening Rain Pavilion.
The two men with gloomy faces and solemn eyes were not surprising to be the Shadow Eighteen Riders.
The man who is elegant and delicate, and has the style of a humble gentleman is Ji Zhe.
At this moment, the young man with dull eyes and a relatively immature face is Ruan Gu.
There is one person left, with a face like a heavy date, eyes like an eagle, and a middle-aged man with a long beard, who is the Cifeng mentioned in Yu Le's mouth.
In those burning eyes, there was a bit of sadness, but there was no trace of emptiness.
Xue Qinghuan could only sigh: "No." ”
He couldn't help but look at Luo Piaoling.
I saw that he had opened the second jar of wine.
Wei Wei had two lines of tears on her face, I don't know if it was because she was heartbroken when she saw Luo Piaoling like this, or because she couldn't control her emotions after hearing that Cifeng was actually an inner ghost.
The raven on the side began to fidget after Luo Piaoling started drinking, and at this time, he couldn't hold back his urge to stop Luo Piaoling from drinking again.
When Yu Le revealed their true identities, and even mentioned the cause of the Shadow Eighteen Riders, their hearts were extremely tormented and painful, because it was the dark years they didn't want to think about the most.
As the years passed, the Shadow Eighteen Riders became one.
Earlier, ravens had been unable to contain the pain in their hearts and had broken down, as had the other seventeen.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the raven caught a glimpse of Luo Piaoling's demeanor.
That indifference, let the crow suddenly see the late old master Shi Xin, that on the battlefield, not chaotic, not alarmed.
In addition, there is also a reassuring and relaxed smile that Shi Xin does not have.
At that moment, Raven and the other seventeen brothers knew that they had been completely conquered by Luo Piaoling.
They have known Luo Piaoling for less than a month, and their sincere admiration for him can only be described as increasing day by day.
Since they have chosen to join the Tingyu Pavilion and follow Luo Piaoling, they will die and never give up.
Now seeing their "main general" tossing himself like this, he guessed that Luo Piaoling must have been deeply hurt, and it was heartbroken.
Without the same experience, he can't empathize, but he really can't bear it!
When Raven made up his mind to "commit the following offense" to dissuade Luo Piaoling from drinking again, he had a hand on his shoulder.
Xue Qinghuan stopped the raven's behavior and gave him a look not to interfere.
Xue Qinghuan not only drinks, but also knows how to drink.
A person who usually does not drink, if he drinks sullenly, in addition to escaping, there is also a way to say goodbye to the past.
In Xue Qinghuan's view, Luo Piaoling is not a person who will choose to escape difficulties.
He is saying goodbye to the past, the person who says goodbye to the past.
Thinking that this person occupies a considerable position in his mind, and now he wants to give it up, it is naturally a little painful.
Borrowing wine is not to pour out sorrows, but to relieve pain.
Seeing this, although the raven understood Xue Qinghuan's intentions, he was angry, and tonight's episode was inseparable from Xue Qinghuan.
As the leader of General Shi's most trusted Shadow Eighteen Cavalry, he must not watch General Shi's successor continue to harm himself like this.
He broke free of Xue Qinghuan's hand, got up and leaned towards Luo Piaoling's wine jar.
Who knew that Luo Piaoling actually hugged the wine jar directly into his arms, and said coldly: "Why do you want to do this?" ()
