27: The Dead in the West Lake (Part II)
Winter went to spring, stayed in the Jiuyao Mountain Sword House for three months, and achieved a little success in martial arts, Yi Fan was also ready to go down the mountain, packed up his salute, and instructed the disgusted ghosts to put on their clothes, put on their hats, and then went out.
Zhuge Liuyun was carrying a sword bag on his back and a burden in his hand, and when he saw Yi Fan coming out, he threw the burden to the disgusting ghost.
The disgusted ghost bared his teeth and protested.
When a few people left the courtyard, they saw Fu Xin coming over with a few disciples, politely exchanging words to each other, and then walking in front to lead the way, and after half an hour, when they arrived at the dock by the lake, there were already boats waiting.
"Brother Fu Xin, there will be a period later. β
Yi Fan said goodbye, everyone got on the boat, let the boatman hold the boat, and left after a while.
Zhuge Liuyun sat on the side of the boat, looked at the blue lake, and took a deep breath: "It's finally out, it's good to be free." β
Yi Fan chuckled, and was in a very good mood, he stayed in the mountains for three months, practicing martial arts every day, and he almost forgot what the world looked like.
This goes to Hangzhou City, but there is no need to go on land, the boat has been sliding forward, driving more than ten miles, you will see more boats on the lake, big and small, the lights on it are colorful, the figures are building, look carefully, you will find that most of them are scholars, and there are many young women.
"It's just spring, the ice hasn't melted, these poor scholars are in a hurry to swim in the lake for fun, hunt for beauty, if they fall into the water, they deserve to freeze to death. Zhuge Liuyun shook his head and rubbed his hands.
The boat moved forward, and when it passed by a large ship, it heard a suspicious voice from above: "Brother Yi Fan?"
Yi Fan was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw a scholar standing on the side of the big boat, who was actually a scholar who was rushing to take the exam with him when he came to Hangzhou, and remembered to call Song Liuming.
At this time, there was some surprise, Yi Fan said: "It turned out to be Brother Song, what a coincidence, we were able to meet on the lake." β
"It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here, it just so happens that there is wine and food on the boat, Brother Yi comes up for a drink, let's get together." β
Song Liuming invited, so he asked the crew to put down the planks and ferry them onto the boat.
"That Brother Song, isn't it? β
Hearing that there was wine to drink, Zhuge Liuyun stood up, jumped forward, crossed a distance of four or five meters, landed on the big boat, and arched his hand: "Zhuge Liuyun of the Sword Sect in Xia Shu Mountain, I have seen Brother Song." β
Song Liuming's face was surprised, and he returned the salute and said, "Brother Zhuge is good at martial arts. β
"Small, small, by the way, what about the wine?"
Zhuge Liuyun waved his hand and couldn't wait to ask.
Yi Fan sent the boat family away, took the disgusted ghost on the big boat, listened to Zhuge Liuyun's words, and was afraid that Song Liuming would misunderstand, so he explained: "Brother Song doesn't have to misunderstand, Brother Zhuge has such a temperament, it's just good wine." β
Song Liuming laughed: "Then I found a friend in the wine again." β
After speaking, he led a few people in, and explained on the way that the boat was not his, but a tour of the lake organized by a group of more than a dozen scholars, and invited a well-known singer in Hangzhou.
When I entered the boat, the temperature suddenly rose and it was as warm as spring, but it was a good charcoal stove, and in it, dozens of men and women laughed and played with each other.
"Ziren, who are these two?"
Ziren is the name of Song, and the person who spoke was a man in his thirties, with a beautiful beard and a handsome face.
"Brother Bo Yi, these two are my friends, Yi Fan and Zhuge Liuyun, who met in the lake, so I invited them to get on the boat and drink. Song Liuming led Yi Fan and a few people over.
said, and introduced to Yi Fan: "Brother Boyi is a well-known talent in Hangzhou, and his danqing is a must, and it is hard to find a thousand gold on the market. β
greeted each other, and then sat down, and Mei Ji came up next to him to pour wine, but Zhuge Liuyun disliked it too slowly, and directly took the wine jug and poured the wine himself.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't help laughing, but there was disdain, but Song Liuming laughed: "Brother Zhuge has a real temperament, a good amount of wine"
After a circle of wine, everyone became interested, each holding Mei Ji, each composing a poem, and forgetting Yi Fan and Zhuge Liuyun.
Song Liuming saw that the two were not in high spirits, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, it's me who didn't entertain well." β
Yi Fan chuckled, didn't speak, glanced at Zhuge Liuyun, and saw that he was already impatient, but it was just because of Song's face, it was not easy to attack.
After a deep groan, he proposed: "It's not convenient to talk about the old here, why don't we talk outside?"
Zhuge Liuyun had long been impatient and stood up: "Let's go, there is a miasma of smoke here, and the eyes are full of unbearable, go outside to drink." β
After saying that, he took the jar of wine and went out.
Fortunately, the others had already drunk too much and didn't hear what he said clearly, otherwise it would be trouble again, Yi Fan and Song Liuming glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
The outside of the ship is not as good as the inside of the ship, but the temperature is refreshing, and a few people are not weak, but feel comfortable, so they let a few Meiji come over with wine and food, and send them in.
Without others around, a few people were more pleasant, there was no restraint in drinking, and it was convenient to speak, and after a while, they were interested, and the three of them started drinking.
Suddenly, Zhuge Liuyun pinched his nose and said a little drunkly: "How can I smell that there is a demonic spirit?"
"Where is the monster, why didn't I see it? Brother Zhuge is really good at laughing. β
Song Liuming looked around and laughed.
Yi Fan was stunned, he also sensed it, shook his head, looked carefully for the taste, and saw that not far from their ship, there was also a big ship, and a young man was standing on the side of the boat, looking really melancholy in a daze.
The demonic aura came from this young man, but this man was an ordinary person, full of human breath, not demonized.
There is only one possibility, and that is that it has been in contact with demons, and it is only in the near future.
"Found it, the demonic energy is coming from over there. β
Zhuge Liuyun sniffed his nose vigorously, and finally determined the direction, pointing in the direction of the young man.
Song Liuming looked at it, saw the young man, was stunned, shook his head, and shouted while holding on to the side of the boat: "I didn't expect Brother Zhu to come too, what a coincidence." β
The young man over there raised his head and barely squeezed out a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Song, what a coincidence, there is something going on next, and I will talk about the old next time." β
After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but Zhuge Liuyun shouted: "Hey, that brother over there, why do you have demonic energy?"
When the young man heard this, he was shocked, stared at Zhuge Liuyun, and left for a while.
Seeing that he had left, Song Liuming sat down, summoned Mei Ji, leaned on his arms, and sighed: "Two months ago, Brother Zhu's fiancΓ©e died at home inexplicably, her head was missing, she was greatly hit, and it is normal to be in no mood to have fun. β
"Oh?" Yi Fan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhuge Liuyun, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked: "This matter is strange, I'm afraid there are other reasons, I'm very interested, please Brother Song to explain." β
