The winter nights of Houjian are exceptionally cold, colder than the emperor, colder than the northwest, and even worse than the snow-capped northeastern three states, not to mention the warm and pleasant climate of Jiangnan.

Some people say that the cold in the south of the river is wet and cold, and the north of the river and further north is dry and cold. Clammy cold is like a poisonous insect that penetrates into the marrow, it is difficult to resist if it wants to drill into people's bones, but it is cold and cold, most of them do not freeze to death, but the cold in the north can take people's lives.

In fact, the countryside is fine, you can fetch firewood for heating, but if the residents in the towns do not have the money to buy carbon and firewood, this winter will be difficult.

In such a cold night with dripping water into ice, the two figures walked on the deserted street without fear of the cold, and as they got farther and farther away from the brightly lit restaurants, the streets became more and more gloomy, but fortunately there were no clouds tonight, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling a quiet silver white on the street, and at the same time dragging the backs of the two people for a long time.

If it seems to an outsider who doesn't know the inside story, these two people are really a little weird, the one with white hair is actually fine, except that the white hair is a little dazzling, and the crane on the body is also considered to correspond to the season, but the other person is really a little unspeakable, in this cold winter night with a howling wind, he is only wearing a thin white robe, or the kind of wide-sleeved white robe, the collar is very open, and the chest can almost be seen, it is really leaking air on all sides, making people look cold.

Fortunately, the two of them each carried a pot of wine in their hands, as the so-called water gets colder and colder the more you drink, and the warmer the wine becomes, wine is a must-have thing to keep out the cold in winter.

The man in the white robe, with a black hair, a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a cold star, a man and a woman, really like an immortal who fell from the sky to the world, walking on the long street, just like a random graffiti work that cannot be elegant, suddenly appeared a lady with superb painting skills, very abrupt and incompatible.

He took a sip of wine into his mouth with a wine jug, then wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his big sleeve, and said to the person beside him: "Xu boy, it was precisely because you seriously injured me that Wanyan Beiyue had a chance to take advantage of it, and from this point of view, Wanyan Beiyue owes you a favor." And the reason why Wanyan Beiyue taught you this time, to put it bluntly, I still hope that you can take care of Xiao Yue and others after he ascends, these are two things, after all, Wanyan Beiyue owes you a favor, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can even ask him to help once, but you used this hard-to-find favor to let me get out of trouble, is it worth it? I am not worth it for you, what do you say you want?"

The two of them were Xu Beiyou and Murong Xuanyin, who had just left Chongning Palace, Xu Beiyou also took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "What is worth it in this world?" It's just whether it's willing or not, there is a way that money is difficult to buy me happy, this is Wanyan Beiyue owes me a favor, I can use it how I want, as long as I am willing, I don't bother you." ”

Murong Xuan smiled angrily: "Okay, you Xu boy, it wasn't the time to beg me in the Jiangdu Theater back then, you are really hard to speak." ”

Although Murong Xuanyin is very similar to Wanyan Beiyue's appearance when he was young, but the gas state is worlds apart, no matter how Murong Xuanyin is, his tone of voice is also three points soft, far from being as neutral as Wanyan Beiyue, at this time, these words are like this, there is not much sarcasm, but there is a bit of self-pity and resentment, which makes Xu Beiyou shudder.

Xu Beiyou pretended to mutter: "I don't know if Mr. Murong has ever heard of such a sentence." ”

Murong Xuanyin asked, "What words?"

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor." ”

Murong Xuanyin was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pinched Xu Beiyou's earlobe, and laughed softly: "It's been thirty years? I remember it's only been three years." ”

Murong Xuanyin is worthy of the word "Yin" in his name, and at this moment, he actually has a bit of a woman's soft and charming attitude, which is breathtaking.

Such a "peerless stunner" is even rarer than a woman of the same appearance, and Murong Xuanyin said that if he falls into the hands of some former opponents now, I am afraid that life will be worse than death, and it will not be without purpose.

Xu Beiyou looked helpless, so he had to reach out and gently pat Murong Xuanyin's slender and white woman's hand.

Murong Xuanyin withdrew his palm, put it behind him, and put his face close to Xu Beiyou, exhaling like a land: "What, what I said is not right?"

Xu Beiyou coughed lightly, his footsteps did not move, but his body retreated straight back for a few minutes, and said helplessly: "Mr. Murong, please respect yourself." ”

Murong Xuanyin laughed loudly, quite complacent that he had easily forced back a great sword immortal.

After Xu Beiyou and Murong Xuanyin were separated by a distance, he didn't dare to stand side by side with him anymore, and said from afar: "Speaking of serious things, on my trip to Houjian, I have already done everything that should be done, and I have also done what I shouldn't do, so now it's time to go back." ”

Murong Xuanyin narrowed a pair of Danfeng long eyes and glanced at Xu Beiyou obliquely. The so-called thing that shouldn't be done is naturally to save him, a waste person, from the star-picking building, and he can still hear this extraneous sound, but he is not a child, and he will not say words like "Who wants you to save me from trouble".

Xu Beiyou was unaware of Murong Xuanyin's gaze, and continued: "Calculate the time, Master Qiu Si should also go to the imperial capital, I will rush back at this time and make up for the last immovable golden body, so that the four golden bodies are one, I dare not say that I am extraordinary, but it is also a rare feat in ancient and modern times." ”

Murong Xuanyin said noncommittally: "It is indeed a feat, it has the demeanor of Xiao Yu back then, but don't forget, why did Xiao Yu destroy his cultivation, and then turn to the path of the Divine Dao, you must know that the so-called unity of the three religions is all deceptive, if it can really be united, then Zichen, Shangguan Xianchen, Tianchen, Qingchen, and even the later Qiuye, Wanyan Beiyue and others, why don't they take this road? ”

Xu Beiyou said with a resolute look in his eyes: "This is natural, so I want to break the golden body with a sword, and ask for one not to break or stand." ”

"Ambitious. Murong Xuanyin praised it insincerely.

Then he suddenly asked: "I said it in advance, I don't mean anything else, I've just been curious, why did Gongsun Zhongmou choose you back then, and bet the last capital on you, although this gambling word is not good, but that's the case, isn't he afraid of losing the last old capital?"

Xu Beiyou smiled, "You asked me why my master chose me back then, I can't answer you, but according to my guess, it should be that the master has come to a situation where there is no way to retreat, and he can only hand over the Sword Sect to me. ”

For Xu Beiyou's boasting, Murong Xuanyin gave him a roll of his eyes and a light snort.

Xu Beiyou didn't care, and whispered to himself: "Some people, in the prosperous era of thousands of miles of clear sky, maybe it is just a subtle flame that is insignificant, but in the dark and troubled times, maybe it is a spark that can start a prairie fire." Master, you said it so well. ”
