Chapter Twenty-Nine
In the early morning, the sun rises in the east, and the light awakens the sleeping earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter an autumn rain, the weather became cooler, there is a shallow pond in the courtyard of Jinxiufang, the lotus flowers in the pond have begun to turn yellow, and a few drops of dew have condensed on the half-green and half-yellow lotus leaves, but the flowers are cloudy and a little desolate.
Qi Chu pushed open the door, there were clouds in the sky, and it seemed that it was still going to rain today. He walked towards Xu Jinyu's boudoir, passing by the middle hall, but he didn't expect her to get up so early today, and she was already sitting at the dining table ready to eat.
"Didn't you say that beauties like to sleep lazy, why did you get up so early today?" Qi Chu walked in and said with a smile.
Xu Jinyu smiled bitterly: "I want to sleep a little longer, but I am not a good apprentice for you." Before dawn, he was making breakfast in the kitchen, and he was really afraid of starving you. ”
Qi Chu found that Xu Jinyu's beautiful eyes were a little red and swollen, presumably because he didn't sleep well, or maybe he secretly cried at night. The table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast, including dumplings, steamed buns, steamed buns, and even scallion oil pancakes and steaming rice porridge with finely chopped meat, which was the lean porridge invented by Lan Ting.
Qi Chu smiled: "He wants to show you his hands, after all, he is a child." ”
Xu Jinyu said: "So his craftsmanship must be very good, I still hesitate to eat it." ”
Qi Chu smiled: "What's the matter, I'm afraid of being poisonous?"
Xu Jinyu glared at him and said, "You little immodest one, who knows what kind of apprentice you can teach, I don't dare to eat first, you come first." ”
Qi Chu sat down, and at this time, Yang Yixiao also walked out of the room, smelling the smell of rice and coming over.
"It's so fragrant, is it Boss Xu's breakfast?" Yang Yixiao said with a rare smile
"Heh, I didn't do it, I don't have the craft. Xu Jinyu said
Qi Chu joked: "Although Boss Xu's martial arts are high, his cooking skills are even higher, and the food he makes is a tyrannical thing to eat." ”
Yang Yixiao asked, "If you don't eat it, do you need to watch it?"
Qi Chu smiled: "Of course it's used to kill people, it's even more poisonous than poison." ”
"Really?" Yang Yixiao said half-incredulously
Xu Jinyu said angrily: "That's also better than your master." You know that his weapon is a moon flute, but you must not have heard the tune he plays. ”
Yang Yixiao said: "There really isn't. ”
Xu Jinyu smiled: "Because everyone who has heard of it is dead." ”
Yang Yixiao said proudly: "Master's martial arts are high. ”
Xu Jinyu said with a smile: "Don't brag for him, where is the martial arts strong, it's obviously too ugly, and everyone who hears it is tortured to death." ”
Qi Chu interrupted: "Then why are you still alive?"
Xu Jinyu said: "Because I pity you, if I die, who else can you blow it to? After all, you are alone, alone, and betrayed by relatives." She was just joking, but she didn't expect to say three idioms in a row to make her words heavy.
Qi Chu's heart ached slightly, but he still smiled. Yang Yixiao watched the two arguing, he was a little old-fashioned, and he didn't know how to interject, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
At this time, Lan Ting walked in happily with a large plate of pastries, "Everyone, eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold in a while." ”
Yang Yixiao also said: "Yes, yes, eat quickly, I'm hungry." ”
Qi Chu asked the two to introduce each other, and they will be brothers in the same sect in the future, so they naturally want to help each other.
Xu Jinyu silently lowered his head and bit the steamed bun, Lan Ting was witty and knew that something unpleasant had happened at a glance, and then said: ", drink a bowl of lean porridge, beauty and beauty." He filled a bowl of porridge and personally brought it to Xu Jinyu.
Xu Jinyu is a woman after all, and when she heard about beauty and beauty, she immediately became interested, "Really beautiful and beautiful?"
Lan Ting smiled: "That's certain, how could I lie to, it's delicious for you to taste it." ”
Xu Jinyu picked up the spoon and took a sip, "Well, it's delicious." I couldn't help but take a few more sips, with a satisfied look on my face. He didn't give up until he drank all the bowls in one go, raised his head and asked, "You call me?"
Lan Ting smiled: "Yes, Master said that you are our uncle, but I think if you call Uncle Shi, wouldn't you call you old?
Xu Jinyu said with a smile: "Uncle Shi can't be called such an ugly name, but I don't like the word Niangniang either, you still call me Sister Yu'er like everyone else." ”
Seeing that she was so happy, Lan Ting immediately agreed: "Okay, Sister Yu'er." ”
Yang Yixiao also shouted, and Xu Jinyu looked much happier.
Qi Chu asked, "Lan Ting, what did you just bring to the table?"
Lan Ting said: "Didn't Childe say that he wanted to take me to see Uncle Su, I think women should like to eat pastries, so I made some and prepared to bring them over." ”
Speaking of Su Qianli, Qi Chu was not in the mood to eat, but he still said, "I'll take you Uncle Su to thank you first." ”
Lan Ting smiled: "Thank you, I will make something delicious, and I am not as strong as Yi Xiao." ”
Yang Yixiao's face turned red, he was older than Lan Ting, and his martial arts were higher than Lan Ting, but Lan Ting was his senior brother, so he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart. was even praised by Lan Ting, who was two years younger than him, and he didn't know if his face was shy and red, or because of embarrassment.
After the four of them had eaten, they rode on their horses and set off, Xu Jinyu naturally rode the Scarlet Moon Fragrance Horse, and she specially gave Qi Chu an old horse. The old horse was so skinny that he ran for a few miles and was out of breath, and was left far behind by the Scarlet Moon Fragrance Pony.
Looking at the Scarlet Moon Xiangju running in front, Qi Chu smiled bitterly: "How old are you, why are you still as angry as a child." ”
In the end, it was Yang Yixiao who took the initiative to change horses with Qi Chu. Qi Chu watched Lan Ting happily raise his horsewhip and said to Yang Yixiao: "Your Uncle Su has actually passed away a long time ago, so don't go with me to worship if you can't walk today, rush to White Horse Lake first, and wait for me there." At noon, I will go to the three-day appointment of the Heavenly Dragon. ”
Yang Yixiao was slightly stunned and said, "I know, master be careful on the road." After saying that, he led the old horse away.
Qi Chu changed to a young and strong horse, and after a while, he caught up with Xu Jinyu and Lan Ting. In fact, Xu Jinyu didn't run too far, but he hadn't seen Qi Chu for many years, and he had complicated emotions in his heart, and he wanted to relax in horse racing.
Lan Ting and Xu Jinyu became familiar with each other, and they became bold, telling a few jokes from time to time and making a few jokes to make her happy. In his eyes, Xu Jinyu and Gongzi are obviously a match made in heaven, and the two of them care about each other very much, but why aren't they together? Suddenly remembered Sheling, last time I promised to make him roast duck in the open oven, but I don't know when I can see him again.
At this time, the three of them walked to an intersection and suddenly heard Xu Jinyu say: "Just keep going to the right." ”
Lan Ting looked to the right, and said in his heart: This place doesn't look like it is inhabited, could it be that our Linglang Pavilion is wonderful, so we like to do something unexpected?
"After a decade of absence, I finally see you again, let's go. Qi Chu patted his horse forward, and Xu Jinyu and the two followed.
Lan Ting asked, "Sister Yu'er, is this Uncle Su as good-looking as you?"
"Naturally, it's much better looking than me, otherwise how could your master have been thinking about it for more than ten years?" Xu Jinyu looked at Qi Chu, and somehow felt sad in his heart.
"My master likes Uncle Su?" Lan Ting's eyes widened
Xu Jinyu sighed, but did not speak. At this point, she didn't know what to say.
Lan Ting said in his heart: It seems that my uncle and uncle are still rivals in love. No wonder Sister Yu'er was not in a good mood along the way.
There is no road in front of the time of walking about a stick of incense, there is a forest in front of it, it is autumn, although the leaves are falling and the flowers are withering, but the forest is still full of green, quite a bit of the artistic conception of paradise. There was a half-broken stone tablet erected outside the forest, and Lan Ting walked over to take a look, "Jun Modu, the name is so strange." ”
Xu Jinyu approached and said, "These three words were written by your master with his fingers. ”
Lan Ting looked at the stele carefully, stretched out his finger and slid along the gesture of the word, "Yes, it was not chiseled, it was really written with a finger." Master's martial arts are really high, and his fingers are harder than stones. ”
Xu Jinyu said: "Originally, this stone tablet was more than half a person high, but later your master cut off part of it. ”
Lan Ting muttered in his heart: Could it be that Master and they were in a love triangle back then, and they quarreled outside this forest. The master interrupted the stele in a fit of rage, and then carved the three words "Jun Modu"? He had a lot of crooked thoughts, and then he thought: It must be that the master and the uncle are jealous, so the master wrote these three words, and the homonym is not "Jun Mo is jealous". Tell them not to be jealous of each other and how good it is for three people to live together. was admiring his imagination, and was suddenly slapped by Qi Chu, Lan Ting exclaimed: "Oops, it scared me to death." ”
Qi Chu said in a deep voice: "So you are scared, then what else should you do with my apprentice?"
Lan Ting laughed, "Just kidding, come in, I can't wait." As he spoke, he was about to rush into the woods, Qi Chu grabbed him and said, "Don't care about the dangers in this forest, that is, there are almost no people in the Prison Dragon Array who can crack the rivers and lakes inside, do you think you can swagger in?"
"Well, that's right, then Master should please first. ”
Qi Chu walked in front, Xu Jinyu turned back to Lan Ting and said, "You follow us closely for a while, don't be careless." I can't save you if you make a mistake. ”
"Got it. Lan Ting's heart was cold, it was really not easy to be Qi Chu's apprentice, there was danger every moment, maybe he would die at any time.
He never left Xu Jinyu, and the ancient trees in the forest were towering, and they were a little warmer than outside.
Xu Jinyu said: "There is a powerful formation in this forest called the Prison Dragon Formation, which is the deepest formation in Linglang Pavilion. Back then, your Uncle Su's attainments in the formation were much higher than ours, and under her painstaking study, she finally created the Imprisoned Dragon Formation, and later taught it to your master. ”
Lan Ting said: "Senior Uncle Su is really powerful, I felt a little dizzy as soon as I came in, and it is worthy of being called the Dragon Prison Array." ”
Xu Jinyu said: "This imprisoned dragon array can not only trap the people who intrude, but also trap the aura of heaven and earth. You feel like it's too hot inside, and that's why. This is true all year round, regardless of the outside climate. ”
Lan Ting said: "It's so amazing, isn't Uncle Su unwilling to be disturbed by others?"
Xu Jinyu said: "This formation was laid by your master, and he doesn't want others to disturb your uncle." ”
Lan Ting said in his heart: It seems that my uncle must be very beautiful, and the master is afraid that there are too many rivals in love and it will be difficult to deal with, so he set up this array.
As he spoke, Qi Chu had already stopped.
Xu Jinyu sighed: "It's finally here, ten years from now to see you, are you okay, junior sister?"
Lan Ting looked ahead, there were no houses, no grass houses, not even a pavilion. Uncle Su lives here, can't he sleep on the ground? Just thinking about it, he slowly walked to Qi Chu's side, only to see a small stream flowing under his feet, the water of which was gurgling and extremely clear. There are colorful pebbles in the stream, and from time to time crabs crawl out from under the rocks and peek out.
I only heard Qi Chu say: "Qianli, there is water in your name, are you still satisfied with the stream I led for you?"
Lan Ting looked at the other side of the creek again, there was an emerald green stone tablet, on which was written "Su Qianli's Tomb", and the inscription was Qi Chu.
"Uncle Su, she ......" I don't know why, just looking at a few words on this tombstone. Lan Ting felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and then thought of the tombstone that Qi Chu had erected himself, how sad should he be at that time?
The sun shines through the dense foliage, and the stream sparkles and the water whispers. Qi Chu stepped into the water, walked towards Su Qianli's tombstone step by step, and muttered like a magic barrier: "Qianli, I've come to see you, I've come to see you." ”
Lan Ting looked at Xu Jinyu again, she had already burst into tears, and silently followed Qi Chu forward. The original beasts and birds in the forest are flying, but at this moment everything is quiet, and even the gurgling stream is quietly passing.
Lan Ting felt a pain in his chest, involuntarily covered his chest, looked at the three words "Su Qianli", held the pastries that had been prepared in his hands, and walked into the stream. The stream wet his shoes and socks, but he only felt that it was a pair of warm hands caressing him, and said from the heart: "Uncle Su, I came to see you." ”
