Chapter 31: The Golden Knife Reappears
The moment he saw the golden knife, Li Yanyun's face turned pale in an instant.
Xue Qing drew his sword in his hand, and almost at the same time that Yu Xiaoyao grabbed the golden knife, the others had already arrived outside the door.
The night breeze blows the weeping willows on the roadside, and the slender willows flutter in the wind.
The long street is lonely, where there are no people.
Li Yanyun's feet were weak, and he was almost unsteady on his feet, and Yu Xiaoyao took a hand and let him on the stool.
"Thank you. Li Yanyun said.
Guo Yifei looked at him with a look of disdain on his face.
Fa Jing said: "Master Li Shi doesn't need to panic, you can be with us these days." ”
Li Yanyun hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Very good, very good, I don't know how many people have a place to stay?"
Fa Jing said: "Settle down here." ”
Li Yanyun said: "There is still a house in this Yiling City, if you don't dislike it, you might as well move to the humble house, okay?"
Fajing and the others looked at each other and nodded, compared to the inn, the private mansion is more tightly guarded, which is not a good proposal.
Fajing smiled and said, "Amitabha, since this is the case, it will be a lot of disturbance. ”
Li Yanyun is worthy of being the big boss of Yanziwu, although the area of this house is not very large, it is also very exquisite, there is a main hall, there are side rooms, there are pavilions, there are corridors, and even the courtyard is also a unique scenery, just like a delicate Jiangnan garden.
Li Yanyun went to the back to make arrangements, and it was a little boy who looked very clever to guide them, he led the way, but from time to time he looked at Yu Xiaoyao with his eyes.
Yu Xiaoyao thought it was very interesting and asked, "What do you always see me doing?"
Xiao Tong was asked by him like this, and he didn't know how to avoid it, and asked bluntly: "You are Yu Xiaoyao?"
Yu Xiaoyao nodded, "It's me." ”
The boy looked him up and down and said, "Everyone says you're a big bad guy." ”
Jade smiled, "Do you think I look like?" he asked.
Xiao Tong shook his head and said seriously, "It doesn't look like it." ”
Guo Yifei snorted coldly in the back and said, "Children, if you don't look like a bad person, you may not be a bad person, you know, bad people are the best at deceiving people." ”
Xiao Tong looked at Guo Yifei and then at Yu Xiaoyao.
Jade made a grimace at him and stuck out her tongue.
The boy laughed.
There are five of them, but there are only three guest rooms, five people, you look at me, I look at you.
Fa Jing took the lead and said, "Why don't I sleep in the same room with Master Yu, Master Guo and Master Xue sleep in one room, and Elder Yan sleeps in one room alone, how about it?"
Of course, Yu Xiaoyao has no opinion, as long as he is not allowed to sleep in the same room with Guo Yifei or Yan Tierou, he has no opinion.
Li Yanyun didn't know where to come out of nowhere, looking at his sweaty appearance, he thought that he was busy arranging things just now. He came to the crowd with a smile and said, "If Elder Yan doesn't mind, I want to live in a room with your old man." ”
Yan Tierou nodded sullenly and walked into a room by herself. Li Yanyun hurriedly followed.
Guo Yifei said hello to Xue Qing and went back to the room to rest. Only Yu Xiaoyao, Fa Jing and the little boy were still standing in the courtyard.
Jade Xiaoyao beckoned and summoned the little boy over.
"I ask you, do you have any wine in this farm?"
Xiao Tong nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Yu Xiaoyao said: "Very good, then please help me get a jar of wine and a bowl, okay?"
The boy hesitated: "But the master..."
Yu said freely: "We are your lord's guests, distinguished guests." Bring me wine, and I'll speak to him. ”
"Good. The boy nodded, turned and ran away.
Fa Jing walked with him into the house and said, "The jade donor still has the heart to drink?"
Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "What is more important in this world than drinking? Even if the sky falls, you have to drink a bowl of wine first, otherwise it will be a pity to die soberly." ”
Fa Jing shook his head and said, "Wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and it is better for the jade donor to drink less wine." ”
Yu Xiaoyao said: "That's why I don't like monks, especially monks like you. Because not only do you not drink yourself, but you also have to persuade others not to drink, which is really annoying. Besides," he said with a slight smile to Fajing, "if I drink to death, won't I follow your wishes." As he spoke, he burst out laughing.
Fa Jing smiled and shook his head, sat cross-legged on the bed, folded his hands, and was already settled.
The door creaked open, and the little boy squeezed in through the crack in the door with a jar of wine, and ran in front of Yu Xiaoyao.
Yu Xiaoyao patted the mud seal of the wine jar, sniffed it, and said happily: "Good wine, good wine." ”
Xiao Tong shook his head and said, "That's nature, this is the best jar of wine in the cellar." ”
Yu Xiaoyao smiled and said, "You little greedy monkey has also learned to steal wine and drink?"
Xiao Tong waved his hand, "This thing is hard to drink, so I don't want to drink it." ”
Yu Yaoyao said: "Then how do you know that this is the best jar of wine?"
Xiao Tong said: "Because I heard the master say that this jar of wine is specially used to entertain distinguished guests." ”
Yu Xiaoyao patted his head with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, I am a distinguished guest." ”
He thought about it, took out a jade pendant from his waist, and stuffed it into Xiao Tong's hand.
The little boy panicked, and hurriedly returned the jade pendant to him, "This is not good, I can't ask for this." ”
Yu Xiaoyao turned his face and said, "You sent me a jar of good wine, then you are my friend, what my friend gave to my friend, how can you say no?"
Xiao Tong hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are we friends?"
Yu Xiaoyao looked serious, "Of course." ”
As he spoke, ignoring Xiao Tong's objections, Yu Xiaoyao stuffed this jade pendant into his clothes, "What's your name?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.
Xiao Tong touched the jade pendant on his chest and said happily, "My name is Xiaoyu, a small fish swimming in the water." ”
"Very good, little fish. Yu Xiaoyao patted him on the shoulder, "Good friend, you go and rest." ”
"Hmm. Xiao Yu nodded happily, walked away happily, and when he walked to the door, he turned around again and whispered: "Actually, I don't like the thin uncle just now." ”
Of course, he was talking about Guo Yifei, Yu Xiaoyao smiled, and he also lowered his voice and said, "I don't like him either." ”
Xiaoyu left, the door was closed, Yu Xiaoyao poured a bowl of wine, and drank it leisurely.
Fa Jing, who had already settled, suddenly opened his eyes, and he looked at Yu Xiaoyao with some curiosity.
Yu Xiaoyao held the wine bowl and said, "What's the matter, my face is blooming?"
Fa Jing shook his head and said, "You like to make friends so much?"
Yu Xiaoyao drank the wine in the bowl, carefully smacked the taste in his mouth, and said for a while: "There are only a few things in this world that can really make me happy, drinking is one thing, and making friends is of course another." ”
He was a prodigal son, and loneliness was the definition of a prodigal son.
Wine and friends are not two good medicines to comfort a lonely soul?
Fa Jing nodded understandingly, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Maybe we really misjudged you." ”
It was late at night, and the wine in the altar was drunk, and Yu Xiaoyao lay on the table, as if he was drunk.
The stuffy wine that a person drinks, of course, is more likely to get drunk.
An exclamation suddenly came from the next room, piercing the quiet night sky.
Yu Xiaoyao suddenly jumped up, slammed the door and rushed out.
The figures in the courtyard flickered, Fa Jing, Xue Qing, and Guo Yifei rushed out on their front and back feet, but Yan Tierou and Li Yanyun were missing.
"Not good!" Guo Yifei shouted, rushed to the door of Yan Tierou's room, the sword light in his hand flashed, the thick wooden door had been silently split in half, and the four of them squeezed into the room in one go.
I saw Yan Tierou fall to the ground with her head towards the door, bleeding from her throat, and Li Yanyun knelt beside him, clutching his neck tightly.
Guo Yifei had the most anxious temper, raised a foot and kicked Li Yanyun out, he leaned down to probe Yan Tierou's snort, and then his face turned grim and shook his head gently.
Fajing closed his eyes and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.
Yu Xiaoyao snorted softly, crouched down, and picked up a golden knife from a pool of blood on the ground.
The golden knife, and the golden knife again.
In a flash of cold light, Guo Yifei had already put his sword on Li Yanyun's neck: "Say! What's going on?"
Li Yanyun's face was pale, his whole body was trembling like chaff, his face was covered with cold sweat, his hands were stained with Yan Tierou's blood, when he couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his face with the back of his hand, he wiped the blood on his face, making him look weird and funny.
"I... I... I was just sleeping, and I felt someone standing in the room, and I thought it was... It was the person from the Liuhe Dao, so he sat up, and it turned out that the person was Elder Yan... I just walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and he fell, and... Then, blood began to spurt out of his neck, and I screamed in fright and quickly covered his wound... And then, and then you guys come in..." He stumbled and struggled to get up, but his feet went limp, and he sat down on the ground again.
Guo Yifei said: "Then didn't you hear any sound before?"
"No... Didn't hear anything. Li Yanyun swallowed hard.
Guo Yifei looked at him with disgust, as if he couldn't figure out how such a cowardly person could become the big boss of Yanziwu.
Yu Xiaoyao sniffled, and suddenly said, "You guys have been drinking." ”
Li Yanyun said: "Elder Yan is not in a very good mood, so I will accompany him to have a few drinks. ”
Yu Xiaoyao nodded, played with the golden knife in his hand, and suddenly said, "This is a warning." ”
Guo Yifei looked at him, "What did you say?"
Yu Xiaoyao shook the golden knife in his hand and said, "This is a warning, since the Liuhe Knife can kill Elder Yan, it will naturally be able to kill him as well, this is urging him to start as soon as possible." ”
Fa Jing nodded: "I'm afraid it's true." ”
Li Yanyun said in horror: "Then what should I do? What should I do? I don't want to die... I don't want to die. ”
Yu Xiaoyao squatted down in front of him and said, "Have you ever thought that since the Liuhe Dao can kill Elder Yan quietly, then naturally it can assassinate me by this means, so why don't they come to kill me, but must force you to kill me?"
"For... Why?" asked Li Yanyun.
Yu Xiaoyao said: "Because they want to force you to submit, as long as you kill me, then you will be their person, then you can only be their person in the future." ”
Li Yanyun was speechless, and it took a long time before he said, "Then what should I do?"
Yu Xiaoyao pointed at him and said, "You can rest assured now, because before the three-day period comes, they will definitely not come to kill you, and certainly they will not come to kill me." As he said this, he looked at the people.
Guo Yifei snorted coldly, but he didn't speak, Yan Tierou was not on par with his martial arts, and he was not as confident as he was just now.
Fa Jing said: "Amitabha, let's settle Elder Yan's body first." ”
The so-called settlement was just to put Yan Tierou's body back on the bed, and he couldn't find a white cloth in a hurry, so he had to cover his body with a quilt.
Everyone lost their sleepiness, so they simply lit the lamp and stood by Yan Tierou's body together.
Yu Xiaoyao looked at the bulging bag on the bed and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Yan Tierou was still immersed in the grief of losing her beloved apprentice, but in the blink of an eye, she also lost her life.
The world is impermanent, but that's it.
The lights crackled and danced on the wicks, reflecting their shadows on the walls like demons dancing.
As soon as the morning dawned, Li Yanyun began to arrange for people to buy coffins and shrouds, after Yan Tierou died, he became more neurotic, and Xiao Yu was severely reprimanded by him just because he walked behind him and startled him.
Not only him, but the shadow of the golden knife pressed heavily on everyone's hearts, making people almost breathless, and for a whole day, several people hardly opened their mouths.
After dinner, several people stood in front of the guest room again.
Li Yanyun lowered his head and rubbed his hands nervously, he looked really scared, even if he gave up his face, he would come to sleep in the guest room, and he would have to be with these masters.
But now apparently no one wants to share a room with him.
So you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.
After a while, Yu Xiaoyao suddenly stretched his waist, yawned heavily, and said, "Although I really want to accompany you here to blow the wind, eating and sleeping is a major event in life, and I am ready to do big things now." ”
No one moved, not even Xue Qing.
Yu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I understand." He reached out and patted Li Yanyun's shoulder, "Master Li, let's sleep in a room tonight." ”
Li Yanyun nodded hurriedly.
Guo Yifei suddenly showed a strange look on his face, but he quickly covered it up, he coughed lightly twice, and said, "It's okay, then the three of us will be crammed into a room tonight, and we can take care of it." ”
The biggest problem was solved, and the five of them split into two groups and walked into two rooms.
Li Yanyun walked behind Yu Xiaoyao and gently closed the door, and when he turned around, he was so shocked that he almost jumped.
Because Yu Xiaoyao almost stood close to him.
Li Yanyun subconsciously took two steps back and said with a dry smile: "Young Master Yu, what does this mean?"
Yu Xiaoyao asked, "Do you snore at night?"
Li Yanyun shook his head.
"Very well," Jade said freely, "do you have any wine?"
"Wine?" Li Yanyun was stunned.
Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "I smell the smell of wine in this house, so you must have hidden wine in the house, right?"
Li Yanyun was slightly stunned, and immediately changed his smiling face, he said: "People say that Yu Xiaoyao is a drunkard with the number one character in the sky, I didn't believe it at first, who would have thought that it was true." As he spoke, he took out a jar of wine from under the table.
Yu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.
