Section 52 The old rules of gambling
Wei Qiqi waited in Xianyun Peak for three or five days, and finally waited for the expected news, Pingyuan sent disciples Shang Jiannan and Deng Xie to come to worship the mountain with a letter from the head of the family, and invited Deng Yuantong, the head of Xiandu, to move to Qianrenfeng to meet and discuss the matter of combining the forces of all factions to clear the ghost gate yuan.
"Combining the power of all factions to clear the Ghost Gate Abyss" is false, and it is true to find out the reason for Qi Du's fall, but Qi Du's body and the sword bag and storage bag with him have fallen into the Ghost Gate Abyss, do they dare to go down? Wei Qiqi secretly sneered, the attitude of the Pingyuan faction has been very clear, cover it up and investigate secretly, but these things have nothing to do with him, there is Lu Wei, an insider, there is no need, and it is not his turn to worry.
He was worried about a few things to do--the three-eyed civet cat Miao Zi had a request from his junior sister, mutual benefit and reciprocity, and there was nothing to do at the moment, but after all, it was a hidden danger, and he had to find a way to solve it; smelting horcruxes required a large number of demon pill spirits, if he didn't plan early, he was only afraid that things would come to an end, and he wouldn't take advantage of this lack of that; It's just that the Qingming Flying Sword passed the book to Xiandu, and it is impossible to say anything, urging him to go to Tonglu Town immediately, he had to put aside the matter at hand, bid farewell to Deng Yuantong and Lu Wei, and left Xianyun Peak.
Qin Zhen sent him all the way to Tiandu Peak to draw bitter springs, she didn't pester her senior brother, nor did she pretend to laugh, she calmly watched him fly away. The senior brother didn't forget her, she wasn't strong enough, so she could only look at his back and continue to catch up, but this time, she suddenly had confidence.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Wei Qiqi felt that the little junior sister's eyebrows had more fortitude and sharpness that he didn't have before, which reminded him of the first time he saw Yu Yao in Changyingguan.
Looking at him from afar, Qin Zhen was not the only one, in the col of the mountain behind Xianyun Peak, there was another thin figure, looking up at the blue sword light, stunned. The person she called "Brother Wei" obviously came to Xianyun Peak, but he didn't come to see him, he just came to see the little junior sister, not her.
Coming to Tonglu Town again, it coincides with the winter solstice, earthworms knot, millet horns are solved, water springs are moving, it is easier to get new clothes, prepare food, enjoy the ancestors, eat dumplings, and drink mutton soup. Qingming and Chongming Bird ate and drank in the restaurant, and after this meal, after this night, they were about to leave for Liushi Peak.
Wei Qiqi drank two bowls of mutton soup, and a warmth rose from his abdomen, and his appetite was great. He didn't touch the dumplings, picked good beef and mutton, devoured a lot, poured a pot of hot wine, sighed, and was satisfied.
Qingming pinched a boiled sheep's hoof in his hand, gnawed slowly, and said vaguely: "Alas, the good days are over......" Chongming Bird felt the same way, put down the greasy roast leg of lamb, and let out a long sigh.
"Why do you suddenly want to turn back to Liushi Peak?"
Qingming shook his head in frustration, "The head of the house has spoken, let me go back, and I still want to live for a year and a half, and have a good time, but it is all in vain." ”
"Is there anything urgent?"
"What can be urgent, it's nothing more than that the end of the year is approaching, the old rules, and the gambling game. ”
Chinese New Year's Eve, small gambling pleasure, is a mortal custom, Wei XVII first heard that there is also a habit of opening a gambling game on Liushi Peak, but listening to Qingming's tone, this gambling game is not so simple. He asked a few tentative questions, and Qingming muttered: "You'll know when the time comes, and I guess you will also have a share...... His grandmother's, it's always someone else who watches the excitement, it's me who is busy, and I don't have my share ......of good things," he burst into a foul mouth and bit the sheep's hoof hard.
Wei Qiqi subconsciously glanced at Chongming Bird, who shook his head like a rattle, indicating that he knew nothing.
The winter solstice is as big as the year, some eat, eat all night, eat nothing, freeze overnight, the three of them are full of wine and food, eat until they are happy, wander in the cold and awe-inspiring streets, the huge town is empty, every household is drinking in the house to keep warm, there are few idlers in the streets and alleys, and even the beggars are looking for a place to eat, drink and gamble.
Qingming moved his muscles and bones, squinted his eyes and focused on the bird, and said, "Are you going back to Shifeng with us, or do you have other plans?"
Chongming Bird broke out in a cold sweat, and said with a huff: "But according to the master's orders." ”
Qingming thought for a while, and said casually: "You made a big mistake this time, you will suffer from returning to Shifeng, if you don't go back, hehe, I'm afraid that even my life will be difficult to protect, so it's better to follow me, be a demon servant, and guard the cave for me." ”
Chongming Bird was overjoyed when she heard this, she had seen Qingming's power, and she beat the wolf down with three punches and two kicks, what a thick thigh this was, and she was still worried about what she was worried about! She promised one after another: "Yes, I am willing to guard the cave for the master, saddle the horse before and after, be a mount, do rough work, open the road in the mountains, and build bridges in the water......
Wei Qiqi smiled slightly when she heard this, these few mantras, I don't know where she heard them, and she muttered endlessly all day long.
Qingming nodded with satisfaction, and said: "That day, the wolf's name was Guo Kui, the vine demon in Chixia Valley, it seems that his name is Yuan Henry Zhen, it sounds good, do you have a name?"
Chongming Bird blessed the soul, and said, "Please give the little one a name, and it is easy to call it." ”
Qingming laughed a few times, groaned for a moment with his hands behind his back, turned his head and said to Wei Qiqi: "You come and take one, you want it to be catchy, you can't make people laugh!"
"How about calling it Chongjiu?"
"Heavy Nine...... Heavy nine ...... Not bad!" Qingming nodded, he is the Taoist boy next to the head of the house, only a nickname, if the demon servant under the door has a name and surname, wouldn't it be noisy, "Chongjiu" This name is good, it is exactly what he wants!
The three of them talked and laughed, and unconsciously came to the Xiluo River, but saw a gorgeous painting boat moored on the bank, two floors above and below, brightly lit, and laughter could be faintly heard. Qingming suddenly became interested, pointed to the painting boat and said, "Let's go, go up and have a look!"
Wei Qiqi looked up, only to see a lantern in the corner of the painting boat, with three big characters on it, "Flowers Full of Building", upright, swaying with the candle, as if about to burn.
