Chapter Twenty-Eight: Parting
Based on the smell wafting out of the box, Su Ji had roughly guessed what was inside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he made a look, and the flower was like a wolf and immediately pounced on the girl in white, like an agile little wolf.
The girl in white did not dodge, but let him snatch the wooden box from her hands.
Su Ji hurriedly opened the wolf-like booty, but found that there was nothing in the box, and when he looked back, he saw that there was an extra clay wine jar in the hands of the girl in white.
"You woman is so unreasonable! I'm already half a man buried in the earth, but you even want to rob me of my life, do you have to force me to die before you give up?"
"When you die, you still want to drink?"
"Nothing is more important to me now than what you have in your hands. Only after drinking it can I sing well with you! at least half of the jar will be used as guillotine for me, how about it?"
The girl in white pondered for a moment, did not agree, did not refuse, just turned around and walked towards the top of the pavilion.
There is a pavilion on the top of the pavilion, called the Jade Sheep Pavilion.
She stood in the pavilion and looked south.
A patch of green covered the horizon, and only the corners of a few palaces could be seen, peeking out of the verdant greenery. The whole Hou Mansion is like a huge forest labyrinth.
Su Ji also went upstairs, seeing that she was looking for a place to drink, she secretly rejoiced in her heart, and looked up at the north of the pavilion.
The towering trees covered the windows on the north side, like a huge green claw clinging to the Whirling Spirit Pavilion, and there would definitely be moonlight shining through the cracks in the green claws at night.
The girl in white put the wine jar on the stone table in the pavilion, and waited until the bright moon was in the sky to tear the wax seal open.
Suddenly, the aroma of wine is overflowing, and the mellow aroma is tangy.
Su Ji's eyes opened when he heard the wine, and suddenly he had already put life and death out of the way. He believed that wine was a magical juice brewed by mortals, but even the gods liked it.
A jar of wine can become a butcher's knife in the hands of a coward, a truth in the mouth of a liar, or even a smirk between two enemies.
After two glasses of wine, the girl in white laughed, and even she herself didn't know why she would smirk at a man who didn't even know his name, and there was only one possibility that she was really drunk.
Su Ji's alcohol consumption was obviously better than her, but seeing the intoxicated expression on the face of the woman in white, she was already drunk.
Lonely men and widows, drink under the moon.
I am afraid that there is no more emotional and poetic scene in the world.
The two of them came and went, and found that they were both temperamental, and the atmosphere of the conversation gradually became much more relaxed.
Su Ji poured the blood-red wine syrup in the altar into a mutton fat white jade cup, and asked:
"It seems that you haven't asked your name yet?"
"Mu Lingyu. ”
"The rain is through the frost, and the spiritual rain is drifting. Although it is a bit poignant, it complements you and is a good name. ”
Mu Lingyu liked this explanation very much, but was more surprised by Su Ji's increasingly literary words. She looked at the red liquor in the glass and exclaimed:
"It's such a good wine that it can make people drink ink out of their stomachs!"
"You're right, wine turns into ink in my stomach. I probably read more books in one night than some people eat in a lifetime. ”
"You're so powerful, you must have a better name, right?"
Su Ji's face instantly darkened. He kept his head calm and secretly asked himself, Su Ji was burned to death in Tongtian Temple, and the fox master had someone else. If neither of these names belongs to me, then who am I now?
Looking at the red wine syrup in the cup, he remembered the other purpose of his trip, and thought of the man in red in Lord Su's mouth, I am afraid that only he can say the answer to this question.
Mu Lingyu held up her charming chin and looked at the silent Su Ji. The white gauze dress on his body faded slightly, and the skin on his chest loomed, adding a bit of temptation. Her confused expression reminded Su Ji of Lin Zi next to the Spring Night Sword in the past.
That night, he told Lin Zi what was on his mind all night, and since then no one has confided in him. At this time, an impulse surged in his heart, wanting to tell the woman in front of him what he was thinking.
This inexplicable courage seems to be a kind of magic given by this jar of wine. But when he thought about it, isn't it the reason why people like to drink alcohol because they can say things that people don't normally dare to say?
"I can see that you have a woman living in your heart. The woman in white said drunkenly.
"How do you see that?"
"Every time my master thinks of a woman, he has the same expression on his face as you. ”
"What kind of expression is that?"
"It's hard to describe, it's like a mosquito seeing blood. ”
Mu Lingyu said, laughing stupidly again, laughing like a child.
Su Ji looked at her with a smile, thinking that it was only when she was drunk that her overly indifferent expression would show childlike childishness. Seeing that she was drunk, Su Ji wanted to take this opportunity to get some words out of her mouth, so he asked:
"You asked me to act with you, but I didn't even know what I was going to play. At least tell me why you want to do this. ”
"To kill someone. ”
"Coincidentally, I'm here for one person. ”
"You're here to kill too?"
"No, I'm here to save people. ”
"Save whom?"
"You tell me who you kill, and I tell you who I save. ”
"Hmph, you'd better save yourself first. ”
Mu Lingyu drank all the wine in the cup as she spoke, but she choked on the strong wine and coughed.
Su Ji took the opportunity to reach out and touch her back, and asked with a wicked smile:
"You don't seem to drink a lot, but why do you force yourself to drink this jar of wine?"
"This jar of wine was drunk for my master. I don't know what's so good about it, but my master even dreams about it, and says that every time you drink up an altar, there will be one less altar in this world. It's a pity that he probably won't be able to drink anymore. ”
Su Ji sighed secretly, faintly feeling the meaning of Mu Lingyu's words, so he asked tentatively:
"Why do you think your master can't drink it?"
A touch of murderous intent flashed in Mu Lingyu's eyes, and he slapped the fierce sword on the table with a snap.
"The blood on this sword belongs to my master, and with his cultivation, he will not bleed easily, unless he encounters a deadly enemy. ”
Her words were filled with unprecedented sadness, not at all like a disciple's remembrance of her master, but like a daughter's mourning for her biological father. That kind of indescribable grief made Su Ji feel sad.
He wanted to tell her the whole story, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, so he asked tentatively:
"What would you do if you found someone who killed your master with this sword?"
After Su Ji finished speaking, she narrowed one eye and secretly observed Mu Lingyu's expression, only to see that the grief in her eyes gradually condensed into anger, which was a cold anger, and the piercing coldness made Su Ji shiver.
She was silent for a moment, and then said word by word:
"If I find that person, I'll make him the same as this cup. ”
As she spoke, she tapped the white jade cup in her hand with her jade finger, only to see that the jade cup instantly turned into a white powder, and the blood-like liquor flowed all over the ground.
Su Ji suddenly gasped, and the hairs on her back stood on end, and the words she wanted to tell her had been swallowed back with a mouthful of saliva. He hurriedly pointed to the ground stained red by the wine slurry, and changed the subject:
"Angry is angry, you don't want to spoil good things!"
Mu Lingyu asked coldly, "Why are your hands shaking?"
Su Ji was stunned and retracted his trembling hand. Mu Lingyu looked at the Hongjun bell on his waist again, and he hurriedly squeezed out a wry smile on his face:
"You shouldn't conclude that I killed your master just because I picked up your master's bell?"
"Who else would it be if it weren't you?"
"I don't know who it is, it's not me anyway. If I had that ability, would I still sit here with you and drink some kind of severed head wine?"
Mu Lingyu said with a bit of wine:
"I don't think you have that ability. But I couldn't think of anyone else who could be my master's opponent. ”
She let out a lament, the sadness in her eyes was a little more than a little stronger, and when she was at the deepest point, she held the wine jar in both hands and poured it down.
"Hey, hey, hey, say it's good to be one and a half, you're already too much!" Su Ji hurriedly stood up and snatched the wine jar, and once again diverted the topic: "Let me ask you a question." If you answer correctly, you will know who I am trying to save. ”
Mu Lingyu blinked a pair of drunken eyes and nodded.
Su Jilang said: "Imagine that when the two of us grabbed this jar of wine, a third person came. And this man is better than either of the two of us. What do you do?"
Mu Lingyu thought for a while and replied, "I will join forces with you to deal with the third person, because if either of us is missing, this jar of wine will be the third person." ”
"Do you know who I'm going to save?"
"You compare the two of us to Jiang Ying and Moshu, and that third person is the one you want to save. But I still can't figure out who that person is. ”
"The third person is the lord of the Shen country, the lord of the sect, Shen Hou. ”
"Shen Hou, his life and death are unknown now. Besides, he has always had a strange temperament, and even if you revive him, he may not thank you. ”
"I don't ask for thanks, but I want to do what a brother has entrusted me with, and besides, Shen Hou saved my life in the fire. I decided that I had to save him. ”
"Listen to your tone, it's really like a Lang Zhong who hangs a pot to help the world. No wonder you're not in a hurry, it turns out that you're not afraid of death, but you already have an elixir to save others and save yourself!"
Su Ji smiled without saying a word, and asked rhetorically:
"You seem to know Shen Hou very well, and the Jiang family's Immortal Gu, you seem to know it very well. ”
Mu Lingyu's face changed slightly, and he immediately changed the topic:
"I almost forgot! Where did the kid who came with you go, and it seems that he hasn't been seen since we went upstairs?"
"He has so many fresh treasures that he doesn't bother to pay attention to us. Let's not be bored. Come on, keep drinking......"
