Li Xiangru listened to the two of them talk more and more stiffly, so he interjected: "Senior Sister Xuangui, I just remembered that my uncle ordered me to go to Jingsi Hall after dinner to explain something, why don't we talk about it another day!"

When he arrived at the door, Gu Mufeng reached out to pull her sleeve, and Xuangui flicked his sleeve lightly and shook his hand away. The two of them went out one after the other, no one spoke, and after walking more than ten zhang away, Gu Mufeng opened his mouth and said: "Senior sister, it's right for me to be wrong, don't be angry, okay?"

Xuan Gui said coldly: "Angry, who am I angry with?" Gu Mufeng said: "I heard that kid ask you to go to the room to taste tea, and the boss in my heart is uncomfortable! I can't overcome myself, the tone of what I say is more important, you forgive me!" Xuan Gui looked at him in a low voice, his anger subsided for a while, and said: "Senior Brother Gu, your heart is also a little smaller, Senior Brother Xiangru and I just want to catch up on the old days, isn't this okay, you prefer to eat these vinegar for no reason!"

Before, the two of them sent a letter to Li Xiangru for Xuan Gui in Shayutai, and they broke up unhappily. Later, Gu Mufeng caught up with Xuan Gui and paid compensation again and again, which made Xuan Gui feel comfortable and forgave her. But the back of Xuan Gui's hand was injured by flowers and plants in the dispute between the two, and Li Xiangru only asked this question after seeing it just now.

Gu Mufeng heard Xuan Gui say that he ate Li Xiangru's dry vinegar, and his anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and said: "I don't know what's good about that kid, you all treat him as a baby." I eat his vinegar, does he deserve it? Xuan Gui said: "You always look down on people, you are always so self-righteous, and you think you are the best in the world." That's what I hate!"

Gu Mufeng sneered: "I like the new and hate the old, and I think differently!" Xuan Gui said: "It seems that we have nothing to talk about." Quicken your pace and head straight to your lodgings. Gu Mufeng followed closely behind his buttocks.

Xuangui entered the room, Qingtong and another female disciple were talking non-stop, and the two saw Xuangui and Gu Mufeng coming in, stood up and shouted, "Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Xuangui!" Then he added: "We just went out to practice swords, you can talk slowly!" After speaking, he took the long sword on the table and went out hand in hand.

Xuan Gui sat at the table, picked up the magnetic pot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it with his head up. Gu Mufeng sighed and said casually: "When the dusk is still known, the mandarin duck does not sleep alone. But when I saw the new man laughing, I heard the old man crying. ”

This is a sentence in the poem "Beauty" by the poet Du Fu, which says that men like the new and hate the old, and Gu Mufeng sings these poems are intended to satirize Xuangui's love of the new and dislike of the old.

Xuangui just took a sip of tea, and when he saw Gu Mufeng's sour appearance, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the tea was all sprayed on the table.

Gu Mufeng said unhappily: "Senior sister, are you laughing at me?" Xuan Gui said: "You also learn like an old pedant, but this poem refers to men who like the new and hate the old, ruthless and unrighteous, and it is often weak women who are hurt. ”

Gu Mufeng said: "Since ancient times, there have been many women who are ruthless, not only men. It is not uncommon for men to be abandoned and rejected by women, so what is strange. Don't...... Am I not a sad person now?"

Xuan Gui said: "You and I are just brothers and sisters, not what you think!" Gu Mufeng said: "For many years, we have gotten along day and night, grinding our ears and temples, although we have not been engaged, in fact, everyone has already understood it in their hearts." ”

Xuan Gui said: "Senior Brother Gu, but both of us strictly abide by the etiquette law, and there is no behavior that exceeds the rules. Gu Mufeng said: "But in the eyes of others, we have long been a couple." Xuan Gui said: "But in fact, we are innocent, what does it matter what others think?"

Gu Mufeng said: "It turns out that you haven't taken me to heart, and it turns out that you have always had no affection for me." I was so stupid as to think you and I could get married!"

Xuan Gui's face turned red and said, "Senior Brother Gu, why do you tie the knot, this kind of thing is not something that can be said casually." I'm a little sleepy and want to rest!"

Gu Mufeng stared at her beautiful face for a moment, and lamented in his heart: "I can't get such a beautiful woman, what kind of man am I?" was silent for a long time, and asked: "Senior sister, I have known you for a long time, and I have liked you for a long time, don't you really understand my intentions at all?"

Xuangui recalled the time spent with him day and night for many years, practicing martial arts and swords together, chanting poems and admiring the moon together, going down to the river and trees together, many happy times, and there was also the idea of being with him in his heart, but that thought was only fleeting.

At this time, Gu Mufeng confessed to her, and she didn't know how to respond. Her heart was in turmoil, she bit her lip, and said to Gu Mufeng: "Senior Brother Gu, you let me think about it quietly, I'm really messy now!Please!" She felt physically and mentally exhausted, and had a feeling that she was about to collapse.

Gu Mufeng nodded and said, "Then you have a good rest!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Xuan Gui sat at the table with his right hand propped up, motionless. It was getting dark, the night was slowly drowning her surroundings, and the cicadas outside the window were chirping happily one after another, but she was still motionless.

Qingtong did not return. Xuangui didn't bother to light the candles. The night on Wudang Mountain is lonely and silent. and all things fell asleep together. A trace of desolation passed through Xuan Gui's heart, and she felt the absurdity of life for the first time?

She likes Gu Mufeng a little more, or Li Xiangru a little more, she doesn't know, and she can't tell.

"Do I like Brother Xiangru?" she startled, and woke up from her contemplation, startling herself. In the bottom of her heart, the shadow in her mind from a young age is Gu Mufeng, with a long figure, a handsome face, a high head when he speaks, and always with a proud look, no matter where he stands, he stands out from the crowd and is recognizable at a glance.

Li Xiangru, thin and small, silent, not outstanding in martial arts, temper sometimes so strong that nine cows can't pull back, simple duty, rooted in the pile of people to be found after shaving, but such a person does not know when to break into his heart. Not now, maybe the first time I saw him with a dirty face, I had already broken into her heart, but I never realized it.

Since she mistakenly forced Li Xiangru to fall off the cliff, for more than five years, his shadow has never disappeared in her mind, almost every night in her sleep to dream of him, a simple and unpretentious face, a face of sincerity and helplessness, the eyes are so innocent, is so wronged, and then suddenly saw him fall into the abyss, she woke up frightened. Every time I woke up, tears wet the embroidered pillow.

Ever since Lee Sang-ru came back alive, she almost thought it was a dream. She often pinched the back of her hand with her fingernails, and after the pain in her heart, she believed that this was an ironclad fact.

Now what?

She was caught in a dilemma. She groaned in pain, moaning echoing through the walls of the room. In the darkness, she vaguely saw Gu Mufeng's hideous appearance, a handsome face deformed by anger, he was holding a sharp sword, and a sword was inserted into Li Xiangru's heart. Li Xiangru was like a spring of blood, and he fell to the ground and died.

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and tears soaked her cheeks at some point. Before she knew it, she fell asleep on the table.
