Flying Snow Burying Red Leaves, Volume 2, Wind and Rain, Knowing the Old Things Chapter Seventy-Seven: Gathering and Scattering Like a Dream
You Jinwen gradually opened his eyes, and vaguely saw all the disciples huddled in front of him, and coughed violently. The disciples hurriedly patted for him for a while, and everyone thought that it was not appropriate to stay here, so they wanted to send You Jinwen up the mountain. But You Jinwen struggled to open his mouth, and a disciple put his ear in front of You Jinwen and listened to his instructions. After You Jinwen finished explaining, he fainted again, and the disciple said: "The door master just said that the Ten Ghost Hall Dao Xueke colluded with the Qing Xuan to take away the Jade Buddha, and now he has been rescued by the Qing Xuan, and it was the Qing Qi who injured the door master, and we quickly sent the door master up the mountain to heal him." ”
Everyone carried You Jinwen and rushed to the mountain.
Let's say that Dao Xueke fainted again, and the Qing Xue Ke didn't want to take Dao Xueke away, but only put him in a conspicuous place at the door of the grass hut at the foot of the mountain, and the acupoints of the two Yiye Sword Sect disciples in the thatched hut had not yet broken away, and they were pointed aside, and the stable was still tethered to the snow with a mournful sound. Glancing into the house, he saw the familiar horse, sneered, and turned away.
And the sorrowful snow is a spiritual horse, seeing the sword snowman fainting in front of the door, and the short man wearing the bronze mask is also quite familiar, so he hissed, the sound of the sorrow shook the forest, spread far-reaching, so that the birds and beasts were scattered, and did not dare to return to the nest. Sorrowful Treadon Xue suddenly raised his front hooves, hissed and broke the reins, rushed out of the grass and wandered around the knife snowman three times, and gently kicked the knife snowman with his horse's hooves, seeing that he did not react, he let out a long howl and ran towards the woods.
At this time, Liu Yuanjun and his entourage have arrived in the territory of Yaoye Mansion, and are going in the direction of Congjian Mountain, everyone is walking on the forest path, but they hear the clear sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and they are about to go forward to check, Liu Yuanjun walked in front, only to see the sad sound of the snow rushing towards him, surprised and happy, and hurriedly greeted him.
Seeing the master, Sorrowful Treading Snow was even more happy, and hurriedly lowered his head to rub Liu Yuanjun's shoulder with his head, and Liu Yuanjun was also pleased to pat Sorrowful Treading Snow's neck, but he didn't see the figure of Dao Xueke, and he suddenly felt ominous in his heart, and his delicate eyebrows also stood up. Everyone hurriedly rushed forward and came to Liu Yuanjun's side, Rao Mengli and Luo Baiyi hurriedly asked: "Sorrowful Singing has come back from stepping on the snow, why don't you see Brother Xue (Old Knife)?"
Hearing the name of the knife snowman, his eyes changed suddenly, and he hissed again, extremely sad and desolate, and raised his front hooves, his mane danced wildly with the wind, and when he fell his hooves, he raised a piece of dust.
Liu Yuanjun saw it in his eyes, his heart was still clear, and suddenly his face was completely bloodless, he was shocked, took half a step back, and said to everyone: "Sorrowful Screaming Treading Snow reacts like this, it must be Ah Xue who has an accident! I will take the first step and go to check, you guys will come quickly and meet me at the hut under Congjian Mountain!"
And Luo Baiyi and the others didn't dare to slack off, and they each made light efforts, following Liu Yuanjun.
And Liu Yuanjun Pegasus came to the grass house, and saw Dao Xueke fall to the ground from a distance, Liu Yuanjun was shocked, and he fell from the horse, fell to the ground, and was concerned about Dao Xueke, so he hurriedly got up, ran to Dao Xueke, knelt down, helped Dao Xueke, let him lie in his arms, and called the name of Dao Xueke, and saw that he had a sword wound on his shoulder, so he hurriedly took out the handkerchief he carried with him to bandage him.
Rao Mengli and the others then arrived, and saw Liu Yuanjun kneeling on the ground with Dao Xueke in his arms, so they hugged him, Rao Mengli looked at Dao Xueke and then at Liu Yuanjun, and hurriedly asked: "Senior Sister Liu, Brother Xue, what's wrong?" Liu Yuanjun frowned, but his eyes never left Dao Xueke, and still replied: "I don't know, I just saw that he had a sword wound on his shoulder, and the blood was not stopping, I thought it should be too much blood, so I bandaged his wound just now, but there is no other way to treat him." ”
Ren Shanhuai stepped forward, squatted down to check the pulse of Dao Xueke for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said to everyone with a smile: "It's just that I lost too much blood and fainted temporarily, and it's not a big deal." After buying some herbs to nourish qi and blood, you will be cured by taking them. ”
"In that case, let's take the old knife back to the Yaoye Mansion to live, and buy medicine for him to heal his wounds. Luo Baiyi said.
Zhu Qingqiu opened his mouth and said, "No." Brother Xue has an injury, the wound has not healed, we take him with him is inconvenient, if riding a horse is inevitable bumps, are harmful to his injury, it is better to stay in this grass house temporarily, when Brother Xue's injury improves, we will not be too late to set off. Everyone also agreed, so they helped the knife snowman into the grass hut together.
Fang entered the room, only to see two Yiye Sword Sect disciples standing in the room, but they did not move at all, and when they walked in to check, they found that the two of them had a point of acupoints. Liu Yuanjun asked Dao Xueke to lie flat on the bed, Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli went to boil water to clean up the wounds of Dao Xueke, Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai went to Yaoye Mansion to purchase herbs, and Liu Yuanjun stayed to take care of Dao Xueke.
Liu Yuanjun unlocked the acupoints of the two, and the two stood for a long time with soreness and weakness, and then they untied the acupoints and collapsed to the ground. Liu Yuanjun then questioned them, "You are the disciples of the Yiye Sword Sect!"
The two of them were afraid in their hearts, so they looked at each other and replied frankly: "We are the disciples of the Yiye Sword Sect guarding the mountain gate today. ”
"Then tell me everything you know!" Liu Yuanjun's back flashed with silver light, and two silver spears were placed on the shoulders of the two of them, and the cold air like frost hit the necks of the two, making them tremble with fright, and hurriedly replied: "Today is the day of our Senior Brother You's wedding to succeed the master of the Ye Jianmen and Senior Sister Chu, and we are holding a banquet on the mountain to entertain guests from all over the world. We came to the mountain gate to guard, and Senior Brother You instructed us to guard against the Ten Ghost Hall, especially ......"
"In particular, what's not going to be said soon!" asked Liu Yuanjun.
The two continued: "Especially to prevent the sword snowman from going up the mountain to make trouble. Then there was a sudden gust of wind, and after the strong wind, I heard that there was water in the main hall on the mountain, and the disciples who accompanied me went up the mountain to save them, leaving only the four of us here to guard the mountain gate. And the knife snowman took the opportunity to knock the two unconscious, and then set the two of us to live in the acupuncture points, moved to the grass hut at the bottom of the mountain, changed our clothes, and went up the mountain. The rest, we don't really know anymore......"
Liu Yuanjun saw that the two didn't seem to be lying, so he put away the silver gun and let them go. The two hurriedly rushed out of the door, for fear that Liu Yuanjun would regret it and take their lives again.
After the two of them walked away, Liu Yuanjun sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the sleeping Dao Xueke, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Dao Xueke's cheek. The slender jade fingers like mutton fat condensed jade gently swept across Dao Xueke's pale cheeks, and the corners of Liu Yuanjun's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a sweet smile. Thinking about this junior brother who has been sticking to him since he was a child, just like his own brother, but now he has really become a man, a man who can take charge of himself and go to the soup for what he loves.
Seeing that her brother-in-care suffered for the people she loved, but she couldn't help much, how could she not be heartbroken? However, although the two of them have been skin-to-skin, they have never crossed that gap, and sisters and brothers are just sisters and brothers after all, thinking of this, Liu Yuanjun's mind has already been in a mess, and he doesn't know whether he is happy or sad. The two have been separated for ten years, but now they are not at peace after they meet, Liu Yuanjun originally wanted to carry the old feud alone, but he didn't want to still involve Dao Xueke, happy and guilty. It is rare to have such leisure, Liu Yuanjun and Dao Xueke are alone, Liu Yuanjun looks at the familiar and unfamiliar face, she has thought that if Kexue Mountain Villa had not suffered that catastrophe ten years ago, the two of them would continue to be together in the cold and snow in the mountains for a lifetime, which is not a kind of happiness.
Dao Xueke still had his eyes closed, but his breathing became more and more rapid, and he couldn't help coughing, the coughing sound woke Liu Yuanjun from his fantasy memories, and he hurriedly leaned close to check on Dao Xueke's situation, but he was grabbed by Dao Xueke's hands and couldn't break free for a while. The two of them lay close to each other on the bed, and Dao Xueke grabbed Liu Yuanjun's hands tightly.
Liu Yuanjun had to stand up and pull out his hands with all his might, but his right hand was tightly held by Dao Xueke, Liu Yuanjun's face was crimson, but Dao Xueke closed his eyes tightly, and shouted urgently: "Qing'an, follow me, Qing'an, I'll take you away......" Liu Yuanjun reacted and stopped struggling, it turned out that Dao Xueke woke up in a fainting but thought he was Chu Qing'an, Liu Yuanjun couldn't help but sigh, so he let him grab his little hand, frowned and looked at the sweaty Dao Xueke with pity, and hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead for him.
The door was opened again, Rao Mengli walked in with a basin of hot water, Liu Yuanjun hurriedly withdrew his grabbed hand, and Dao Xueke gradually stopped. Fortunately, Rao Mengli didn't care about Fang Cai's affairs, and Liu Yuanjun took off the coat of Dao Xueke, exposed his shoulders, and wiped the blood stains from the wound with hot water.
cleaned up the wound, and it happened that Ren Shanhuai and the two also came back, dressed the wound with external herbs, bandaged it with strips of cloth, put on clothes, and let Dao Xueke rest alone, while Rao Mengli went to help Ren Shanhuai and Luo Baiyi boil medicine, leaving Liu Yuanjun and Zhu Qingqiu standing at the door of Dao Xueke's room.
"Senior Sister Liu and Brother Xue are really in love, just like their own sisters. Zhu Qingqiu looked at Liu Yuanjun's side face and said.
Liu Yuanjun didn't look at him, just looked at the eaves with her head half-tilted, she was still wary of Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai, and replied when she heard the words: "I watched Ah Xue grow up, and naturally I have deep feelings. ”
Zhu Qingqiu sighed and said with great regret: "I don't know when I can have such a relationship with Brother Xue, alas, ......"
When Liu Yuanjun heard this, his expression became cold, and he turned his head to look at Zhu Qingqiu and said coldly: "If you have any wrong thoughts about Ah Xue, I will definitely not let you go." With that, he turned and went into the room again.
At this time, there was a squirming movement on the roof, and a black shadow jumped down from above, met Zhu Qingqiu, and rushed out of the door again. Zhu Qingqiu couldn't help but smile slightly when he looked at the back of the man, but this scene was seen by the mournful treading snow tied to the courtyard, so he raised his front hooves again and hissed loudly. Liu Yuanjun rushed out when he heard the sound, but he still saw Zhu Qingqiu alone in the courtyard, and no one else.
It is said that Xiao Wuxian and others inquired in Tanglin Mansion but found nothing, everyone was about to leave Tanglin, but Xiao Wuxian asked everyone to rest here for another day. Feng Zhan persuaded him: "Tanglin is the fief of the king of Dongling, and it is also an important town of the imperial court. ”
Xiao Wuxian said: "I still have an old man in Tanglin Mansion, and he may know Ah Xue's whereabouts. I will visit him tonight, and it will not be too late to leave Tanglin tomorrow. ”
"Then tonight, Nanzhi and Xiao Ling will accompany the hall master to visit that old friend. Feng Zhan said. Wen Nanzhi and Ling Yige got up in response, but were stopped by Xiao Wuxian, who shook his head and said, "No, this person has to go to the meeting alone." ”
Feng Zhan said worriedly: "No, the hall master's injuries have not healed, and the inside has not recovered, if you go alone, there will be a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in this Tanglin Mansion, I am afraid that something will happen, if it is in danger, what can I do?"
"This old man will protect me well. Xiao Wuxian looked out the door, and the closed door didn't seem to block his view.
At three o'clock tonight, Xiao Wuxian left the inn and went to visit the old man alone. Feng Zhan and the others stood at the window on the second floor of the inn, watching Xiao Wuxian's back gradually disappear into the noisy crowd on the street, turned his head to look at the demon in the umbrella, sighed, and turned to Duan Qingmeng and said: "Meng'er, you are good at concealing the aura, you look at following the hall master, be sure to protect him thoroughly, if you encounter any strong opponents, and you can't fight, come back quickly and report to me." We, too, are going to the rescue. ”
Duan Qingmeng took the order and left, following Xiao Wuxian closely, she hid her breath and hid in a crowded place, although Xiao Wuxian was strong in martial arts, but now that his skills were temporarily lost, he couldn't detect that someone was following him.
And Xiao Wuxian came all the way to the palace, where there were no officers and soldiers stationed, only the guards at the door and the sparse crowd on the streets. Duan Qingmeng turned over the wall, prostrated himself on top of the dwelling, and secretly observed Xiao Wuxian. Xiao Wuxian stepped forward and said to the palace guard: "Please inform the prince, just say that Xiao Wuxian came to pay a visit." ”
The guard asked, "But is it the Xiao Wuxian Hall Master of the Ten Ghost Halls?"
Xiao Wuxian replied, "It's the old man." ”
The guard smiled and said, "Then there is no need to report it. The prince is not in the house tonight, but going out to play. The prince has an order, if there is an old man visiting tonight, please move to the Yunhai Pavilion in the west of the city, where the prince is waiting for the old man to come. ”
Xiao Wuxian was slightly stunned, then thanked him and said goodbye, and walked to the west of the city. Duan Qingmeng saw it in his eyes, he was very puzzled, and thought to himself: "Why did the hall master come to the palace and leave again? Could it be that his old man is related to the king of Tangling?" Seeing Xiao Wuxian walking away, Duan Qingmeng hurriedly followed.
It is not difficult to inquire about the location of the Yunhai Pavilion first, passers-by are all saying, the Yunhai Pavilion in the west of the city is the most luxurious restaurant in the Tanglin Mansion, ordinary people only hear its name but no one can enter it, it is rumored that the Yunhai Pavilion dispersed in one night, drunk and dreamed of death, if the fairyland is general, countless people scattered their wealth to get a glimpse of the true face, but could not enter it. Yunhai Pavilion only accepts seven customers a day, and it must be a thousand gold, and it must be a person with status, and ordinary people will not accept it.
There are even rumors that although the Yunhai Pavilion is a restaurant, but the proprietress Yunyanyu, known as the "powder-faced Rakshasa", is extremely charming, can hook the soul, take people's hearts, the rivers and lakes are known as "the powder-faced Rakshasa sings and dances, and the soul of the snake and scorpion makes the sheng flute", even so, there are still many dignitaries, and the children of rich families want to see its style.
Xiao Wuxian came to the front of the Yunhai Pavilion, only to see that this building is about a few zhang high, carved railings and painted buildings, and the lights are bright, among which there are sheng songs and gongs and drums, and the sound of persuading wine and laughter, so it is not extravagant. Above the gate is the three characters of Yunhai Pavilion written on a large golden plaque, and there are four small characters under it, which is written with the four words of "drunk life and dream death". There are four red pillars in front of the building, and there is a pair of couplets, the upper link is "scattering all the gold, changing the night drunk life and dreaming of death", and the lower link is "the smoke and the sea of clouds, cherish the dreams of a lifetime".
Xiao Wuxian saw it in his eyes, sighed, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Today is full, no entry is allowed. The guard said arrogantly, tilting his head.
Xiao Wuxian bowed down and said, "Old man Xiao Wuxian, I heard that the prince of Tanglin is here, and I came to pay a visit." ”
When the guard heard this, he became serious, bowed down and humbly returned the salute: "It turned out to be the Xiao Wuxian Hall Master of the Ten Ghost Hall, I am very offended, and I also asked the Xiao Hall Master to go upstairs quickly, and the prince has been waiting for a long time." When Xiao Wuxian heard this, he sighed, entered the Yunhai Pavilion, and was about to go upstairs.
At this time, Qing Meng was observing outside the door, and when he saw Xiao Wuxian entering Yunhai Pavilion, he was about to blend into the building, but he was blocked by the guards, so he had to go back to the inn and report back to Feng Zhan. When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Feng Zhan frowned, shook his fan and said: "Could it be that this old man of the hall master has something to do with the king of Tangling? or is he serving in the palace? Everyone left the inn and walked in the direction of Yunhai Pavilion.
Let's say that Xiao Wuxian went to the Yunhai Pavilion, and saw that there were bright lanterns hanging all over here, incense burners all over the ground, brocade flowers, sheng songs and swallow dances, the aroma of wine mixed with the smell of rouge, the laughter hidden the sad sound, the piano and flute are harmonious, the flute sound is melodious, antique, intoxicating, and not extravagant. The further you go, the stronger the fragrance becomes, like a floral fragrance, but it is more intense, making people fascinated and fluttering lightly. The bead curtain was heavy and dazzling, and he entered three doors in a row, opened the bead curtain, and was blocked by two people.
The two guards said, "Who are you and why are you here?"
Xiao Wuxian bowed down again and said, "Old man Xiao Wuxian is here to visit his old friend." ”
As soon as the words fell, a delicate voice came from behind the bead curtain: "It turned out to be the famous Ten Ghost Hall Master Xiao, let him come in." The sound was like an insect into the bones, making the listener numb into the bone marrow, unsteady on his feet, full of itchy and sweet.
