Chapter 142: A Corner of the Paper

Are there no cultivators in Xiaqiu City?

Not really, otherwise who would have protected the great city from violation.

Not long after Shuyu arrived in the city, a little eunuch in a cyan costume came out of the palace and waited for her in a neat line.

"Your Majesty asked the left envoy, the national war is about to descend on Xiaqiu, but do you want to pass on the letter of the palace master?"

"I'm not sending a message on this trip, so I'll tell Your Majesty, but there's nothing special about passing by. ”

"Well, this is a letter from His Majesty to the Left Envoy. ”

"Cheng, let it go, you can go, greet Your Majesty for me. ”

"The slave and maid are gone. ”

After the people left, Gu Yi came out of the corner of the room, "It seems that you also have a lot of friendship with the emperor who left the country." ”

"It's just a matter of a few sides, Your Majesty has to respect the Great Rain Palace, I am the left palace protector, and when I arrive in Xiaqiu City, she can't ignore me. ”

"Are you still the Left Palace Protector now?" Gu Yi laughed, "The two of us are a little nervous, coming to the capital city of the country at this time completely exposes your location, and soon the Gu Palace Master will know that his Left Palace Protector has been on the thief ship." ”

Shuyu carried a certain hope, "The palace master and I are both Mo clans, she may understand me." ”

I'll leave that for later.

Gu Yi stretched out his finger and pointed to the thing wrapped in yellow cloth, "Look at what your majesty said to you, you have sent a messenger, and you have to whisper in the letter." ”

Shuyu took it in his hand, dismantled it and revealed the envelope, and handed it to Gu Yi with a little hesitation, "Or, can you come and see?"

"What are you thinking, this letter is not for me, of course it is for you. ”

The girl's family was probably worried that she had said something to go to Luyang before, and now she had a private message exchange with Emperor Li, as if she had ulterior motives for going to Luyang.

However, Gu Yi still trusted her.

"That'...... All right. ”

Shuyu opened elegantly, revealing a thin pale yellow white paper, and on the white paper were square words one by one.

Gu Yi sat cross-legged, drank tea and waited.

Shuyu looked at it line by line, but his face became more and more solemn, making him a little worried, "What's wrong?

"It's a letter for help. Shuyu gave Gu Yi the original letter.

Since he can read it, then he will also read it, just like Shuyu, after sweeping it twice, the leisure to drink tea is suddenly gone.

"It turns out that the two peaks have been fighting for the river rain tomb because of this ......"

Shuyu was also unexpected, "The speculations we made at the beginning now seem to be just speculations, the secret hidden in Heyu is "Eight Tales of a Rainy Night", and the funny thing is that as the left palace envoy of the Great Rain Palace, I have never known what "Eight Tales of a Rainy Night" is. ”

Gu Yi pondered carefully, so it seems that the other 'I' mentioned by Xiao Yiyi has informed the two peaks of the existence of "Eight Tales of a Rainy Night",

And it has been informed a long time ago.

That's why Heyu died violently, and after the violent death, the two peaks got the sea paper and got the whereabouts of the paper.

According to the letter from the emperor, the paper is in the Xiaqiu Palace, and this letter for help is to hope that Shuyu can help block the two peaks who are coming.

Perhaps, they have already entered the city.

"Eight Tales of a Rainy Night" was left by a senior of the small window peak in the two peaks. Gu Yi heard that she didn't know, so he told her this.

Shuyu asked, "What is recorded in it?"

"Three hundred years ago, the Great War between Xu and the Two Peaks, most of the people in that war died, and Emperor Yin covered up most of the history, and future generations no longer know what happened at the beginning, including those who have now regained the banner of the two peaks. ”

In this context, "Eight Tales of a Rainy Night", as a narrative text left by predecessors, naturally has its irreplaceable value. In fact, there are only eight pages of Baji, which are divided into four parts, namely dream paper, sea paper, talent paper and fairy paper. I had read dream paper in Luyang Courtyard, and most of these things I knew at that time. ”

Shuyu was puzzled, "Is it just to review history?"

"Of course not, in today's world, the human realm is scarce, even if a person with a high level of understanding is like the eighteenth floor master, it can only be difficult to advance in Yunsheng, so there is a problem in our world, and the palace master is looking for the 'original world' is actually because of this, so the content in "Eight Tales of a Rainy Night" is priceless. In fact, I'm looking for it too. ”

In this way, if there is such an important thing, they really can't just leave like this.

"At least, we can't let the people of the two peaks easily get the talent paper. ”

Gu Yi nodded, "Well, we have to mix and mix, as far as I know, what is recorded in the paper is the strange people and strange things of three hundred years ago, that is, how the immortal cultivators of that era were, and even how they gained power." ”

In any case, it must be more exciting and romantic than today.

Shuyu couldn't help but sigh, "In this way, we are really born at the wrong time." It's ridiculous that I told you yesterday that the two of us are just frogs at the bottom of the well, and we are just smug. ”

"It's good that you didn't rank yourself first, and you put me in the same list as you. Gu Yi's words were a bit of a joke,

Making fun of Shuyu was a little shy.

"None of that matters. Gu Yi spread the letter in front of the case, "The important thing is that if we are going to repel these people from the two peaks, it is inevitable that we will contact Emperor Li. ”

"Well, so what?"

Gu Yi pointed to himself, "I'm from Xu Guo." What identity are you going to use to disguise me?"

In fact, he asked this question very seriously.

But I don't know why Shuyu was embarrassed for a while, and after saying 'I don't know', he ran away, leaving a burst of fragrant wind alone.

Gu Yiren was stupid.

Do girls think so much when they get caught up in it? Is the question itself problematic?

Not yet, where do you want to go?

emm......

Gu Yi has to think about this question seriously, is it that in a world where the relationship between men and women is relatively conservative, if he has been taking her around, he has tacitly agreed to bring people back to Luyang......

I didn't say anything, but it seemed to send a very clear message?!

Scumbag!

But then again, although Gu Yi had said how bad the Mo people were before, but recently, Guanshuyu's behavior has indeed added a lot of gentle whispers in it, and it is not as cold as before.

"I'm going to see Your Majesty, so don't move around here until I come back. "Shuyu, who had been away for a while, suddenly returned to this room,

She went to change her clothes.

changed into a luxurious official uniform, wearing a hat and waist, which made him more heroic, and there was no veil to cover his face under this costume, which made Gu Yi see a different taste.

“...... Good. ”

Shu Yu blushed because Gu Yi had been looking at her.

However, the more she blushed, the more Gu Yi felt that she was beautiful.

"I'm leaving. ”

A few minutes after the person slipped away, Gu Yi returned to his senses, and immediately sighed, this is his blessing!

Hey, hey, hey.

Gu Yi was happy for a while, and suddenly saw the words that Sijin bought:

Holding on to the profit is not as good as oneself; The house is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it. Rich and arrogant, self-blame. If you retire after success, the way of heaven is also.

This is that guy's explanation of the Heavenly Dao.

There was nothing to do, Gu Yi folded the things and put them in a wooden box, and then took the umbrella around his waist and walked out of the room, coming to the wall where Huang Ren was writing before.

This wall is just a wall.

White walls.

However, the one that shelters from the rain is different from the old and the new, and it is a green tile, which makes people feel that it was not built at a point in time.

In this place, the pedestrians who come and go never look at Huang Ren much, and Huang Ren does not care about the busyness of the people in the world, they are immersed in their own worlds, and they have reached a delicate balance.

Although Huang Ren has the same unshaven beard and unkempt hair, the difference from just now is that his equipment has been replaced, the bookcase on the ground is already new, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone have been replaced with a full set.

Huang Ren finally no longer has to dipped rain to write, but has black ink, so that the words on the wall are clearer.

Gu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, just like this, the shotgun was changed for a while, it was all the contribution he had just made.

However, when the 'big customer' came, Huang Ren still seemed to have not seen him, and was busy writing by himself, sometimes writing as fast as the wind, sometimes pausing and pondering, suddenly flipping through the post and copying, and suddenly shaking his head to savor.

Gu Yi looked left and right, and always felt that he should say something, but he didn't seem to be popular.

At this time, a young woman on the second floor across the street saw him, so she sent her attendant downstairs with her.

Slowly walked in front of Gu Yi and asked, "Sir, but the one who just asked for a word?"

Hearing the voice, Gu Yi turned around, and the girl in the goose yellow cotton skirt had a round and delicate face, and there seemed to be a lot of bookish air between her eyebrows.

"It's me, girl, what's the matter?"

"Oh, Liuyi just heard that someone bought Mr. Huang's words today, thinking that he must be a person who loves words and has the heart to get acquainted. Liuyi has nothing else to do, except for doing some small business, he likes Mr. Huang to write, if the son doesn't mind, would he like to go upstairs and watch the words?"

Gu Yi looked behind him, there was indeed a rather spectacular restaurant, but the weather was bad, and the popularity was not obvious at this time.

"Didn't Mr. Huang's wall be given by His Majesty?" Gu Yi was a little skeptical that she really liked Huang Ren's calligraphy as she said.

The girl named Liuyi explained: "At that time, I was very young, and I couldn't do many things, so Mr. Huang was indeed in trouble for many years, but now Mr. Huang is looking for food in this Forget Worry Restaurant, which is a little bit of my work." ”

"In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey my fate, I will bother, I am a foreigner, and I want to ask the girl why Huang Ren is so obsessed with calligraphy. ”

"This question is answered by Mr. Huang. Liuyi stepped forward and said to Huang Ren: "Sir, today there are pepper and salt Babao chicken, Yipin tofu soup and southern marinated drunken shrimp, how about you eat first?"

Huang Ren paused, stopped immediately, and after carefully putting it away, he rushed to the second floor of the tavern with a muffled hum.

"Only money and food can get him out of the world of calligraphy." Gu Yi saw through it.

But the girl in the flowing clothes said: "Vulgarity is elegance." Dare to ask your son's surname?"

"Don't be expensive, the surname is Gu. ”

"Gu Gongzi, please. ”

Well, it's nothing, just take a trip.

Clang.

Gu Yi put the wooden box away, and took out the words he had asked for before,

The words are good words, but the paper is not good paper, but Gu Yi's protection is quite good, there are no wrinkles and dampness, and now it is a heavy rainy day.

Huang Ren looked up at Gu Yi as soon as he saw the words, "Hey, aren't you the person just now, when did you come here?"

Gu Yi: "......"

It's really fake, you're only now discovering me.

Never mind.

He spread out the paper and said politely: "Mr. Huang, I went back to see your words, and I was a little puzzled, so I came to ask you to solve my doubts at this time." ”

"Do you want to solve your doubts?" Huang Ren looked a little unhappy, "In your case, you have to add money." ”

Plus, add money?

"Are you so short of money?" Gu Yi looked at the flowing clothes who were sitting on the side of the square table.

The girl explained: "Although the gentleman loves money, he takes it in a good way. If you should take it, you will not be polite, and if you take it for nothing, the gentleman will not ask for it. ”

Gu Yidao: "What does it mean to eat white rice here that day?"

"Who ate the rice?" Huang Ren suddenly became unhappy, "The little girl watches me write upstairs every day, and watches it every day, is it free?"

"That's a joke, Mr. Huang, you are writing on the street, there are more people passing by to see it, do you charge everyone?"

Huang Ren is still reasonable, "There are many hypocrites in the world, or peddlers and pawns who don't know etiquette, they can't read it, they just think that my words are worthless, since they are worthless, the old man naturally doesn't charge, but this little girl understands it, then it should be charged." ”

Gu Yi smiled bitterly, "Your theory is like the more people who gain, the more money they should pay you." ”

"Yes, what you are asking is as important to you as you are, so you should overcharge. ”

Gu Yi found it interesting: "So, how did Mr. Huang know that it was more important to me?"

"It doesn't matter what you're doing when you come back?

Liuyi listened to their conversation, but it was a little unyielding, and it was quite interesting.

"Gu Gongzi, Mr. Huang is a maverick, he has always been like this, but he didn't mean to defraud his son of money, he knew each other well, and Liuyi was willing to pay this 'puzzle' money on behalf of his son. ”

"How can I, a man, ask you to pay?" Gu Yi waved his hand and took out two more pieces of gold from his money bag, "Mr. Huang, is it enough?"

"That's it. There aren't a lot of them. ”

This guy is really funny.

"Mr. Huang......"

"Wait until I'm done eating. ”

Gu Yi's eyelids finally couldn't help jumping, and the girl in the flowing clothes covered her mouth and chuckled, "Childe, it's still early today, so let's wait a little time and try our dishes here." ”

Gu Yi gave Huang Ren's old man a 'phew' look, and then smiled at Liuyi, "Thank you, girl, the girl is really enthusiastic." ”

"Oh, I love words, and naturally I love to meet like-minded friends. ”

"Then how does the girl in the flowing clothes understand the words that Mr. Huang sold me?"

The little girl got up and went to the opposite side of the square table to carefully study the few words, "It is better to hold on to it, it is better to stop it at the right time." ”

That's true, but it's just a paraphrase, but it doesn't make sense.

Huang Ren's old puppet didn't ask him to speak, he explained himself, "Holding on to it is not unethical." It does not lose its virtue, but also profits, and it is bound to be in danger. Therefore, those who are not as good as others are even worse than those who have no virtue and no merit. ”

Gu Yi's eyebrows moved when he heard this, "Girl in Liuyi, what about the next sentence, it can't be kept for a long time." ”

This means that once the edge is revealed, it is difficult to maintain the sharp momentum for a long time. ”

Huang Lao Pifu also explained: "It is not only the end of the order, but also the sharp order, it is bound to be destroyed, so it cannot be kept for a long time." ”

Gu Yi immediately asked: "The hall is full of gold and jade, Mo Zhi can keep it, rich and arrogant, and he is to blame?"

The girl in the flowing clothes explained, "This means that the house is full of gold and jade, and it is impossible to keep it, and the wealth is to the extent of arrogance, which is the root of its own trouble." ”

The old man put down his chopsticks, "The middle of the day is moving, the moon is full, the luck of the four seasons is also, success, fame, retirement, heaven and earth are still the same, and the situation is not human?"

Gu Yi knocked on the table, "Heaven and earth are still the same, but the situation is human." The actions of heaven and earth are the way of heaven. ”

"Can you let me eat?"

The girl in the flowing clothes and Gu Yi looked at each other and smiled.

said that he started to eat, Huang Ren was actually swallowing, it was originally a very delicate table, a city with heavy texts, everything must pay attention to a connotation, of course, the dishes are also,

However, this old horseman is like a starving ghost, and his eating appearance is extremely ugly, and he basically takes all kinds of food and stuffs it into his big open mouth.

And after gobbling up a wave, he poured a pot of water into his stomach.

The girl in the flowing clothes looked a little embarrassed, and she didn't know that she thought she had starved Huang Ren like this. So he leaned over and explained in a low voice: "Mr. Huang has always been like this when he eats in order to save time. ”

"It's a pity that such a good dish. ”

"What's the pity, eating is just for the sake of satisfying the stomach, it's really boring. I'm done with it, you can eat it here. ”

Cold, he got up from his position, bent down and hurried downstairs, but after half the way he stopped, hesitated a little and climbed up again.

"The boy surnamed Gu, I will give you back two pieces of gold. ”

Gu Yi looked at the things he took out, a little puzzled, didn't he say that he loved money very much, "Mr. Huang, why is this?"

"Oh, I forgot, I thought what I wrote to you was my own, but I made a mess, and I got it from somewhere else. ”

"From where?"

"On a piece of paper. ”

Gu Yi's eyebrows tightened, "What paper?"

The old horseman's eyes were confused, and his expression was also confused, "Then I forgot." Anyway, that's it, the money is returned to you, I'm leaving, it's fine, don't come and bother me to write. ”

"Hey......" Gu Yi wanted to catch up.

The girl in the flowing clothes followed up and stopped him, "Gu Gongzi, don't chase it." Mr. Huang is like this, if he has something to say, he will say it all in one go, and if not, he will not be able to ask him. ”

Gu Yi said: "What a bad habit is this." ”

"It's not a bad habit," said the girl with a smile, "it's the most time-saving." ”

Gu Yi didn't know where the old man was looking, so he scratched his head and thought about it, but when he turned his head, he suddenly saw Shuyu's figure falling into the second floor.

"Coming back?"

Originally, he didn't think there was anything, but Shuyu looked at him and then at the girl in flowing clothes standing on the side, "Who is this girl?

Gu Yi: "......"
